Speaker: Dr. Sung Kyu Lim, Georgia Institute of Technology
This talk presents an overview of 3D IC research at the Georgia Tech Computer-Aided Design (GTCAD) laboratory. First, we present 3D-MAPS (3D Massively Parallel Processor with Stacked Memory) V1 processor, a logic+memory 2-tier 3D IC that features 64 general-purpose processor cores and SRAM. This is arguably the first general-purpose many-core 3D processor ever developed in academia and fully tested using real applications. This 3D processor achieves up to 64GB/s memory bandwidth while consuming 4W power. We also present 3DMAPS V2, a 5-tier extension of V1 that features 128 cores and 256MB wide-I/O 3D DRAM. We discuss the entire chip development spectrum (except manufacturing): architecture and verification, programming, design and sign-off analysis, package/board design, and testing. Moreover, we discuss our RTL-to-GDSII CAD tool flow that is based on various 2D IC commercial tools and our plug-ins to handle 3D ICs.
Second, we investigate the multi-physics (= thermo-electro-mechanical) reliability issues in through-silicon-via (TSV)-based 3D ICs and develop EDA solutions. We study how to model these complex phenomena, apply them to analyze the reliability of large-scale 3D circuits, and develop full-chip design methods to mitigate the issues. Third, we investigate the design benefits and challenges for monolithic 3D ICs, considered by many as the future of 3D ICs, where the individual tiers are "grown" on top of each other, instead of being "bonded". The biggest benefit is the nano-scale inter-tier vias that are a few orders of magnitude smaller than TSVs. Monolithic 3D IC enables ultra-fine-grained 3D integration, which finds numerous applications in logic and memory systems. Lastly, we present various low power design methods developed based on 3D IC implementations of ultraSPARC T2 processor (commercial processor with 500-million transistor) and 28nm PDK.

The Pineapple-Shaped Lamps troupe take their "Rocky Horror" shadow cast to TheatreNOW for a two-night run of midnight shows Oct. 25 and 26.
"A shadow cast is when you perform a movie in front of a movie," said Wesley Brown, PSL's artistic director, co-founder and a performer in the troupe. "You are reacting to every scene, every line, every movement and every detail. If you mess up, you have to keep going because the movie doesn't stop and the movie doesn't mess up."
The troupe is no stranger to the legendary film. PSL formed as a "Rocky Horror" shadow cast group in 2010 and went on to start a weekly sketch comedy show and stage other musicals. Since then, they have taken the shadow cast show on tour to places like Fayetteville and the Florida SuperCon convention in Miami this summer. They've also staged shadow cast performances to such movies as "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers."
The troupe's name was even selected from a callback yelled by an audience member during a scene in which some pineapple-shaped lamps are visible. "Callbacks," when audience members yell out clever quips mocking the film, are a trademark activity at screenings of "The Rocky Horror Picture Show."
It's been almost a year since PSL last performed what was a monthly shadow show at the Browncoat Pub and Theatre in downtown Wilmington, having been sidelined in December by a change in the availability of the film rights.
For their comeback performances at TheatreNOW, Brown said PSL will deliver a show that, like most "Rocky Horror" events, "is never the same twice." Troupe members will play different roles each night, and PSL encourages audience members to contribute with their own callbacks. Prop bags containing items for mimicking on the on-stage action can be purchased for $3, or audience members can bring their own. (The troupe asks that food items and water guns be left at home.)
For Brown, "It is the audience's reaction to things that really makes the show," he said. "There is nothing like walking in and hearing everyone screaming 'Rocky' at the top of the show. It's a huge adrenaline rush that comes even before you press play on the movie."

December 1, 2001 -- Vegparadise News Bureau
VIP Slams Author and Publisher
of Book Mocking Vegetarians
Editor's Note: We are reprinting a copy of a letter sent to Random House Children's Books concerning one of their children's books that mocks vegetarianism and is inappropriate for its intended audience. Diana Capriotti, Editor
Random House Children's Books
1540 Broadway
New York, New York 10036 Dear Ms. Capriotti:
As a vegetarian and publisher of a vegetarian on-line magazine, I am always looking for books to suggest to young people who want to learn about vegetarianism. Unfortunately, I could never recommend The Autobiography of Meatball Finkelstein by Ross Venokur to any young person. When I discovered your book, I began reading it with trepidation because of the title. As I continued, I was appalled to find a book mocking both vegetarians and vegetarianism. Vegetarians enjoy humor as much as anyone else, but the attempts at humor here are more annoying than funny.
Your book attempts to poke fun at vegetarians, but the effort fails because of its ridiculous contrivances. What vegetarian parents would name their son Meatball? I realize there are some parents who do not display good judgement in choosing names for their children, but I doubt that any would name their two children Precious and Meatball. To compound this literary felony, Meatball is obese, suggesting a link between obesity and vegetarianism.
Even more preposterous is the revelation that Meatball's parents on their first date tricked each other into believing they were vegetarians. The father, who had eaten a cheeseburger earlier that day, declared he was a vegetarian to increase his appeal to his date. The mother, who "was living on a diet of scrambled eggs, roast beef sandwiches, and chicken cutlets," attempted one-upsmanship by claiming she was a vegan. They maintained this charade for two-and-one-half years until their wedding day when they both confessed to each other.
Consider the values taught here. Your mother and father are committed to vegetarianism because they lied to each other. They never told you why you are vegetarian except to say, "If we were intended to eat animals, they would be covered in ketchup."
The revelation that Meatball's parents had lied to each other was not made by his parents, but by his grandfather. Gramps tells him about his parents and then reveals he is not really a vegetarian either. He urges Meatball to push a button hidden on the pantry wall. The push reveals an icebox filled with meat. Although Gramps had convinced his daughter he was vegetarian, he was really dipping into to his secret supply of meat in his refrigerator. Gramps is typical of all of the adults in the book. None seem to have any redeeming values. All behave stupidly and appear to exist only to do harm to young people.
Most irksome is the plot that revolves around one item that Meatball eats that gives him extraordinary superhuman powers -- a meatball. Eating the meatball, he becomes a tornado that destroys the school cafeteria. Subsequently, by eating meatballs he is transformed into both animate and inanimate objects like a chair, a cockroach, a grizzly bear, the Mona Lisa and even his mother. Reading this book, young people would get the message that one does not derive much energy and power from a vegetarian diet. They must eat meat to achieve success.
Principal Walrus W. Weazelman discovers Meatball's powers and enlists him in creating the Fun Vaccine by bribing him with promises of an all-A report card. Everyone in this story is corruptible, even our hero. After saving the day and resolving the shallow plot complications, Meatball tells the reader, "Though my mother tried to convince me that if we were supposed to eat meat, animals would be stuffed with bread crumbs instead of organs, I ended up convincing her and my dad that if I wasn't supposed to eat meat, broccoli would give me super-powers." The book implies that young readers should forget the broccoli; a meatball will do the job every time.
Another troubling aspect of the book is its cataloging. Readers may notice on the copyright page that the Library of Congress has assigned Vegetarianism--Fiction as one of the subject headings. A teenager seeking information in the library about vegetarianism will be confronted with this volume that presents a distorted view of vegetarianism. Before penning this outrageous story, the author should have asked a few people why they were vegetarians. I'm certain he would have received answers far loftier than the lame reasons cited in this book.

The InnocentsDVD - 2005
From the critics

CommentAdd a Comment
I'm on a Deborah Kerr binge and this is one of the scariest movies I remember as a kid. It still is. It's not about blood or guts or going down to the basement with the lights off. It's two creepy kids that are unsettling, whispery and odd. Gives me the chills, which is what I am seeking in scary movies. Not a body pile up of murdered people. I'd watch Walking Dead for that.
Loved her dresses. It's like she's floating
"The Innocents" ("TI" for short) was released in 1961 (is everyone bored already?). This was a year after the release of that total terrorizer "Psycho", which, when it came to horror movies, was not an easy act to follow. But, thankfully, the producers of "TI" weren't interested in following in "Psycho's" gruesome foot-steps.
What a contrast there is between these 2 excellent and very powerful horror movies. Both are packed to capacity with mounting suspense and terror. And, of course, both, in their own right, are superbly crafted with top-notch performances from all members of the cast.
While "Psycho", literally, drenched the audience with buckets of blood, "TI" didn't even spill a single drop. It took a different approach to terror. It produced the one thing that was in short supply in "Psycho" and that was genuine goose-pimples. I'm not kidding, this movie is so frickin' eerie and spine-chilling that it'll have you shivering all over. It's the very thing that true ghost stories are made of and it's all been captured here so brilliantly. "TI" does not ring false once, nor is there one bad note in it. This is something that is certainly unique and rare when it comes to the likes of horror films.
The terror that lurks within the shadows of this brilliantly frightening story really needs to be seen by you, the viewer, rather than me wasting my time trying to describe the indescribable. It can't be done. Even though we've all been pretty much jaded by all the horror films that have come out since "TI" I don't think there's another one out there that packs the sort of "ghostly" wallop that this one does. If you want chills. If you want thrills. "TI" delivers in a true Gothic style.
Very creepy and well done black & white 1961 horror movie I had never heard of. The cover doesn't do it justice. I keep thinking about it and how weird and taboo it is.
Can "horror" entertain and actually sustain itself without buckets of blood being splattered up the wall, without severed body-parts being found in the fridge, without a crazed maniac being on hand to line-up his victims?...... After watching "The Innocents", I believe that it can. And it can be done quite effectively, as well.
Eerie. Mesmerizing. And, yes, very Haunting...... This 1961 film (whose screenplay was co-written by Truman Capote) was based on Henry James' novel The Turn Of The Screw which was published in 1898.
"The Turn of the screw", written by Henry James in 1898 and brilliantly brought to film as the "Innocents" in 1961 stars the incomparable actress Deborah Kerr. But without the children there is no point of even considering the title. Pamela Franklin as Flora was 11 years old. Martin Stephens as Miles was 12 years old. Each performs with eerie precision, as though the part was based on their story rather than the other way around. Children can have such vivid imaginations during the day and impossibly horrible nightmares. And yet the child wakens without remembering what made them scream in terror just hours ago. I know that describes my younger life. Would I be willing to relive those moments of horror when imagination and reality blended into a single vision that caused me to involuntarily scream? The film is black and white and I believe this presents a bleak realism that grips our imagination much more fully than one done in color. When the film is in color we marvel at the sets, the costumes, the panorama and forget about the story being dramatized. You can only pay attention to so much before the scene has moved on and we wonder just where are we now? When it's black and white we put in our own sense of color as it most affects us personally. I loved horror films and though the black and white ones gripped audiences because we struggle to input ourselves on so many concurrent levels. Enjoy the film, Watch it again a few years from now.
Movie quote - "Say his name and it will all be over."
Yes. This 1961 Supernatural-Thriller certainly had its fair share of good points, as well as its not-so-good points.
The one thing that really impressed me about this particular ghost story was that it delivered its eerie, little tale, quite effectively, without spilling even a single drop of blood.
I think that, alone, earns The Innocents some rightful and respectful recognition in the realm of "horror". 'Cause, even way back in 1961, a fright flick could never be expected to hold the viewer's rapt attention without the necessity of blood and gore.
Anyway - With strong performances given by all of its principal cast members, I thought that the overall subtlety of The Innocents' sinister and nightmarish tale was quite impressive. And I wasn't in the least bit disappointed with this supernatural story as it slowly, but surely, unravelled its mystery of mounting madness that seemed to rise from the depths of a very dark and curious netherworld.
Simply beautiful setting for a wonderful movie. One of Britain's finest homes surrounded by beautiful gardens and ponds. Deborah Kerr adds beauty to the film in her character and in charm as a person. Truly a masterpiece of film work that I shall treasure for a long time to come!
Chilling suspense with a talented cast led by Deborah Kerr. The black and white film is shot so perfectly that you believe that candles are their only light at night. Filmed in an English Mansion that simply is the height of beauty. Deborah Kerr is a lovely governess of the household of two children. You won't want to miss this film. It simply is filled with surprises!
This movie is downright creepy, disturbing and scary. (This is coming from a seasoned HorrorWhore). The under toned tensions alone are enough to put you ill at ease. If you are looking for blood and gore, this isn't the movie for you. If, on the other hand, you are looking for some psychological horror, do NOT pass this opportunity.
Based on Henry James' "The Turn of the Screw", this fine slice of gothic horror follows a young governess and the two children entrusted to her on a lonely, isolated English estate. Moonlit gardens, creaking hallways, and decaying statuary abound as director Jack Clayton spins a classic haunted house tale replete with hints of madness and melancholy. His horror is both overtly real and deeply psychological for despite the spectral visitations and slamming shutters the real terror lies in miss Giddens' eyes as her uneasy concerns soon evolve into wild accusations and paranoia. Lastly, Clayton's assured hand is readily apparent in a frantic climax which comes full circle and lends meaning to the film's enigmatic opening scenes. Chilly!

Lady Gaga: 'It Took Me Seven Years To Come To Terms With Rape Ordeal Before I Could Talk About It'
Entertainment| |
It took Lady Gaga seven years to open up about her rape ordeal as a teenager because the "Poker Face" star didn't even know how to "think" about it. The pop star, who has recorded Diane Warren's song "Til It Happens to You" for a new documentary on college campus rape, has never named her attacker and admits it took a lot of soul searching to come forward.
In a candid new video panel chat alongside Warren for the Los Angeles Times' TimesTalk series, Gaga says, "I didn't tell anyone for, I think, seven years. I didn't know how to think about it. I didn't know how to accept it. I didn't know how to not blame myself or think it was my fault. "It's something that really changed my life. It changed who I was completely. It changed my body, it changed my thoughts." "When you go through a trauma like that, it doesn't just have the immediate physical ramifications," the 29-year-old star added. "For many people it is almost like trauma, where you re-experience it through the years after it. It can trigger patterns in your body of physical distress. So a lot of people suffer not just emotional and mental pain, but physical pain as a result of being abused, raped or traumatized in some way." The singer revealed she was raped at the age of 19 in an interview last year, and told DJ Howard Stern, "I don't want to be defined by it. I'll be damned if somebody's gonna say that every creatively intelligent thing that I ever did is all boiled down to one d**khead that did that to me." Gaga and songwriter Warren hit the red carpet together for a TimesTalks The Hunting Ground screening on Thursday in New York City, and the hitmaker revealed the track she sings in the film has made a big impact on her. "Diane will tell you, it was really hard for me when it came out," she admitted. "I was really stressed out about it. Every time I listen to it, I cry. Every time I get a text about it, I always feel sick. It's like this thing you don't want to face. But because she wanted to face it with me, it reminded me of what the song is for."

New Orleans police officers seldom sought to interrogate rape suspects, while they sometimes peppered victims with biased questions suggesting they were to blame for their attacks, according to a review of sexual-assault complaints by the U.S. Department of Justice.
The NOPD's sex-crimes unit has been under scrutiny for years, with critics saying many legitimate complaints have not been fully investigated.
Last year, not long after he was appointed, Superintendent Ronal Serpas replaced the leader of the unit and ordered an audit of complaints that had been labeled "miscellaneous incidents" by detectives. Following the audit, NOPD officials reclassified dozens of them, saying they would be investigated as sex crimes.
The report took care to emphasize that policy changes are under way at the NOPD, particularly in the sex crimes unit.
Still, the Justice Department review suggests the unit's deficiencies are deep. In many cases, detectives conducted victim interviews with the seeming aim of categorizing the allegations as false, according to the review. The report suggests many more complaints might need to be reinvestigated.
Until recently, the NOPD had an "unofficial" policy of not interviewing sexual assault suspects, even if the suspect was identified by a victim, which meant cases were built almost exclusively around the victim's testimony. However, the new commander of the unit has changed this de facto policy -- which is not typical of American police departments -- and he has purchased video equipment for an interrogation room.
The agency also found shortcomings with the NOPD's investigations into domestic violence, which, like sexual assault, is most often committed against women. Problems with the units that deal with both crimes are the basis for the Justice Department's findings that the NOPD violates the constitutional rights of women by not properly investigating allegations of violence against them.
The authors found disconcerting patterns in a series of sexual assault complaints categorized as "Signal 21s," or "miscellaneous incidents." Detectives often emphasized inconsistent statements by victims or gaps in memory, while expressing doubt about their credibility or motives for fabricating an attack, the report said. Detectives seemed to believe many stereotypes about how victims of sexual assault behave.
For their part, victims described their interviews with detectives as making them less likely to cooperate with a police investigation, often a factor when the NOPD files a complaint as a "Signal 21." In many cases, the sex crimes unit actually asks victims to fill out a form stating that they don't want to proceed with the case.
"In short, our review of Signal 21 reports found that NOPD routinely asks questions that are likely to heighten many victims' feelings of shame and self-blame, fear of not being believed, and lack of confidence in the criminal justice system," the report found. "Such interview tactics, particularly at the critical initial stage of a sexual assault investigation, may well intensify a victim's reluctance to cooperate with an investigation or prosecution."
The report also found fault with NOPD report writing, saying detectives need to better capture how victims describe their assaults. Patrol officers who are the first to respond to a crime also need to write reports about what they discover, something that doesn't happen with sexual assaults but is common practice in other cases, the report stated.
Detectives often are misinformed about the utility of sexual-assault exams, sometimes telling victims who delay coming forward not to bother being checked. But national standards show that such exams can sometimes yield forensic evidence even four days after an assault, the report stated.
While the report didn't find the same magnitude of problems in the domestic violence unit, the Justice Department did flag that unit as well, saying it has too few investigators to deal with its caseload. The lack of staffing -- just three detectives are assigned to the unit -- means investigators too often don't interview witnesses, according to the report.

Five Star Equities Provides Stock Research on Coeur d'Alene Mines and Great Panther Silver
NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - Jul 23, 2012) - After a strong start to the year silver stocks have faltered in recent months as prices for the metal have struggled to gain any upwards momentum. The Global X Silver Miners ETF (SIL) has fallen over 15 percent in the last three months, while the iShares Silver Trust ETF (SLV) 14 percent over the same period. "The slide in silver prices mirrors the stubbornly sluggish global economy, and the strength of the U.S. dollar," said Keith Newcomb, portfolio manager at Full Life Financial LLC. Five Star Equities examines the outlook for companies in the Silver Industry and provides equity research on Coeur d'Alene Mines Corp. (NYSE: CDE) and Great Panther Silver Ltd. (NYSE MKT: GPL).
Access to the full company reports can be found at:
Silver has recently been benefitting from increased demand according to Commerzbank. In a recent note the bank stated that holdings in silver exchange-traded funds, 575.1 million troy ounces, were at their highest levels since May of last year. Silver futures on Friday settled at $27.217 a troy ounce. "Investors clearly view silver's current price level of $27 per troy ounce as an attractive opportunity to buy, which means higher silver prices can be expected," the bank said.

Opening Day Collection of Begum Jaan
Vidya Balan's much-awaited film Begum Jaan has finally released. The remake of Srijit Mukherji's Bengali film Rajkahini, Begum Jaan released on around 900-1100 screens on Friday. The film started on a decent note on its opening day. It saw around 15% occupancy on the morning shows, reported Bollywood Hungama. Vidya Balan plays a titular role of a madam of a brothel who tries to protect 11 s*x workers in the face of a looming crisis post India-Pakistan partition.
Begum Jaan took a very dull opening considering it was a holiday. The occupancy was around 15-20% but its coming on a holiday for Good Friday and Ambedkar Jayanti and the collections are going to be poor even with the holiday factor, forget real value Early trends shows that Begum Jaan has collected Rs 3.94 crore nett at the Indian box office on the first day. The audience, who watched Begum Jaan in the first show, say that the movie boasts of a thrilling and intriguing script, brilliant performances by Vidya Balan and good production values.
The word of mouth will help the movie go on from strength to strength over the weekend. The film will beat the record of Begum Jaan, which collected Rs 12 crore at the Indian box office in the first weekend. This Hindi period drama film, it is written and directed by National Film Award-winning director Srijit Mukherji and produced by Mukesh Bhatt, Vishesh Bhatt and Play Entertainment. The film is co-produced by Sakshi Bhatt and Shree Venkatesh Films with executive producer Kumkum Saigal.
The cinematography is done by Gopi Bhagat. Lyrics, Additional screenplay and dialogues have been penned by Kausar Munir and Rahat Indori. TVidya Balan plays the lead role of a brothel's madam, set in the backdrop of late Indian Independence period of 1948. It is Hindi remake of the Bengali film Rajkahini (2015). Begum Jaan is loosely based on Shyam Benegal's 1986 movie "Mandi".

72 Muslims Hanged in India against 1,342 Hindus and Others
If the Supreme Court rejects Yakub Memon's appeal to suspend his execution for his role in the 1993 Mumbai bomb blasts, he will take his last walk at 7 am on July 30—to the gallows at Nagpur Central Jail. The bombings were meant to avenge the demolition of the Babri Masjid, which India's liberal and secular establishment still condemn as an attack on the minorities. However, a new report by Death Penalty Research Project of the National Law University (NLU), Delhi shows that of the 1,414 prisoners in the available list of convicts hanged in post-Independence India, only 72 are Muslims—not even 5 per cent of the total executions. The report, however, clarifies its list is not meant to be a reference for the total number of prisoners hanged in India since 1947.
Of the 27 prisoners hanged in Andhra Pradesh till 1968, only two were Muslims.
■ Of the 25 hanged in Delhi, only four were Muslims.
■ Of the 103 hanged in Haryana, there was only one Muslim.
■ Of the 39 hanged in Karnataka, only three were Muslims.
■ Of the 78 convicts hanged in Madhya Pradesh, only five were Muslims.
■ Of the 56 hanged in Maharashtra, there were only five Muslims.
■ Of the 366 prisoners who went to the gallows in UP, only 45 were Muslims.
■ Of the 32 convicts who were hanged in West Bengal, only seven were Muslims.
The death list in some states is tainted with gallows humour: in Kerala, no records are available because the authorities confessed termites ate them all. The story is similar in Andhra Pradesh, where termites have made a meal of all records pertaining to executions after 1968.
The report was compiled by NLU researchers from the responses received from India's Central jails. Certain prisons provided information for only a certain period of time, or like Tamil Nadu, refused to give any data. According the report, in Jammu and Kashmir, the playground of Islamist terror, not one Muslim has been hanged. Official statistics of terrorist killings in J&K are available only up to 2009, which note that over 47,000 people have died in terror-related violence. The up-to-date numbers would be higher. The Human Rights Watch has noted that thousands of Kashmiri Hindus have been killed over the past 10 years by terrorists and Muslim mobs. Additionally, in Haryana, Odisha, Rajasthan and Punjab, not a single Muslim convict has gone to the gallows. In India's capital, Delhi, Muslims comprise 11.7 per cent of the population, making it the second largest community after Hindus. Here for every Muslim, five members of other communities climbed the scaffold. Executions are carried out in Jail No. 3, Tihar Jail.
Sections of the media and politicians such as Asaduddin Owaisi, leader of the Andhra Pradesh communal outfit, the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen, and Abu Azmi, Samajwadi Party leader from Maharashtra, are protesting the death sentence. Owaisi accused the government of hanging Memon only because he is a Muslim and questioned why the death sentences of those convicted in Rajiv Gandhi's assassination case were commuted to life imprisonment. He had wanted Bangladeshi anti-fundamentalist author Tasleema Nasreen to be beheaded and had called MLAs kafirs and Hindus impotent. He was jailed for making hate speeches, but no harm came to him. In united Andhra Pradesh, his state, 27 convicts were hanged of which only two—Jonada Muslalaiah and Sk. Babu Sahib—were Muslims.
Azmi had accused the government "of making moves against Muslims". He claimed that according to the chargesheet, Memon was innocent. "He did run away with his brother but he has not committed any huge crime," said the Maharashtra legislator. In his own state—where there were 63 terror-related incidents this year alone, (around nine a month) and 139 in 2014 (around 12 a month)—56 were hanged for various offences. Of these, only four Muslim convicts—Abdul Rehman Imrankhan, Abhasjhan Wazirkhan, Munwvar Haun Shah, and Ajmal Amir Kasab—climbed the scaffold, just 7.14 per cent. This amounts to 13 criminals of other faiths for every Muslim. Kasab was a Pakistani terrorist and part of an ISI-trained team, which killed 166 innocent people and wounded 293 in the bloody invasion of Mumbai in November 2008.

From India:
Are there any hormonal drugs which do not cause your blood sugar to increase and promote weight gain? The patient is 44 years old and weighs 100 kilograms (220 pounds). He has mild diabetes and takes one or two metformin capsules daily.
So far, metformin is the best choice of drugs that lowers blood sugar and can help with a moderate weight loss. It is possible that the metformin dose could be increased. You should speak to your doctor about that. There are some new drugs in the development stages that might be able to lower blood sugar and cause weight loss, but we probably won't see them available soon.

South Korea international Lee Keun-Ho was named the Asian Football Confederation's 2012 Player of the Year on Thursday night.
The former Gamba Osaka man beat 2004 recipient Ali Karimi of Persepolis and Iran and Guangzhou Evergrande defender Zheng Zhi for the award, which has come in for criticism in previous years for its insistence that the nominees attend the ceremony in order to be eligible to win.
The 2012 Asian Champions League MVP had a prosperous year for Ulsan Hyundai, scoring four goals in his side's 12-match unbeaten campaign on the way to a 3-0 win over Saudi Arabia's Al-Ahli in the final.
Lee also scored eight goals in domestic play for Ulsan, who finished fifth in the K-League, as well as five goals and three assists in eight appearances for the South Korea national team.
In the first year of the ceremony's revised format, the AFC Asian International Player of the Year and AFC Foreign Player of the Year also received honours.
In the first category, created this year to recognise Asian players playing outside of the continent Japan, Manchester United superstar Shinji Kagawa saw off international team-mate Yuto Nagatomo as well as Australia's Mark Schwarzer.
Brazilian Rogerio de Assis Silva Coutinho of Kuwait SC was handed the Foreign Player of the Year award, beating fellow countrymen Bruno Correa of Sepaphan and Ricardo de Oliveira of the UAE's Al Jazira.

Cloverlea offers a curriculum which is balanced and broadly based and which:
promotes the spiritual, moral, cultural, mental and physical development of pupils at the school and of society, and
prepares pupils at the school for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of later life.
Makes provision for personal, social, health and economic education (PSHE), drawing on good practice.
Cloverlea uses the SEAL – Social and Emotional Aspects of Learning - materials to teach many of the elements of PSHE and also the Trafford Matrix grid. We ensure that the children experience the process of democracy through participation in the school council. We also encourage children to take part in a range of tasks which promote active citizenship, for example charity fundraising and the planning of special school events such as an assembly or open evening. We offer children the opportunity to hear visiting speakers whom we invite into the school to talk about their role in creating a positive and supportive local community. Many themes are taught or reinforced during assembly times.
The aims of PSHE and citizenship are to enable the children:
To know and understand what a healthy lifestyle is and to be aware of how to keep safe.
To respect others; understanding what makes for good relationships with others including members of the community.
To be independent and responsible members of a community such as a school.
To be positive and active members of a democratic society.
To develop self-confidence and self-esteem, and make informed choices regarding personal and social issues.
To promote the spiritual, moral, cultural, mental and physical development of our children and of society.
To prepare children for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences they already face and for adult life.
SEAL Planning Grid
The school uses a two year cycle to teach SEAL topics (Social and Emotional Aspects of Learning). The 'Say No to Bullying!' unit is taught on a yearly basis to coincide with National No Bullying Week.
Other aspects of PSHE such as body awareness, safety in the home, smoking and drug awareness, democracy, money, etc. are taught across the different year groups.
SEAL Planning grid:
Autumn Term
Spring Term
Summer Term
Cycle 1
New Beginnings
Say No to Bullying!
Going for Goals!
Cycle 2
Getting On and Falling Out

Despite all the recent hype surrounding content marketing, the concept has been around for centuries. Its profile has increased massively for one major reason – consumers are fed up with advertising messages and are blocking all that noise out.
What's wrong with traditional advertising?
People today have shut off the traditional world of marketing. They watch television shows on catch up TV to skip advertising, mute the radio during add breaks and subconsciously block out banner ads and pop ups while surfing the web.
There has to be a better way to make people actually want to take in your advertising – and that's where content marketing fits in.
But for content to work as a marketing tool for business, it must be something that potential customers actively want to consume – not blatant marketing.
How is content marketing any better?
Content can be a variety of things – articles on a website, email newsletters, podcasts, videos, infographics and mobile apps.
By providing the answers your target market wants to know, you are doing them a service, and developing your reputation.
It's about creating something that will resonate with an audience, which educates them, builds a brand's reputation and gives the consumer a compelling reason to act.
What are the benefits to your bottom line?
Once you've captured their attention, you have the chance to inform the audience about how your business can solve the problems they face and provide answers to the questions they plug into search engines.
After tapping into their pain points and frustrations, you have the chance to present your products and services as a solution to their needs.
Who can it work for?
If a business has a product that solves a need for a consumer, then it's perfect for content marketing. A good example of this in action is a well known Ballarat business.
Haymes Paint knows DIYers turn to the Internet for advice on painting.
So much of its website has good quality decorating tips with no strings attached.
You will not find a sales push in its content, but Haymes provides photos, stories and painting advice that keep its target market coming back for more.
And when inexperienced home decorators suddenly want to become experts, they habitually turn to the Internet for trusted information.
The Haymes website has an answer to all the regular questions. And by helping people with this well-presented information, the company's brand becomes trusted.
The bonus is that these activities represented less than 1% of the company's total annual marketing budget, proving content marketing doesn't have to be expensive.
Content marketing is not as easy as it seems
Simply writing advertising copy or shooting videos that promote your business will not work effiectivery.
The strict necessity is to deliver content that people actually enjoy consuming, and digital media professionals can do that for you.
There is a fine line between providing useful information and simply publishing sales content.
The best content marketing happens when a sales push is not detectable, and the audience wants to keep enjoying more of the same content because it benefits them.
That's the difference between content marketing and the advertorials from companies trying to sell you "stuff."
Where does social media fit in?
To put it in old-fashioned terms, if content marketing is the brochure or yellow pages for your products, then social media is the telephone that customers use to access your product.
You cannot have a successful social media following without having interesting content to populate Facebook, Twitter etc with.
And having a stack of quality content on your website without promoting it on social media means not enough of the right people will see it.
Content marketing will not replace social media by any means. They are two very different things with two very different functions.
However both should be part of your marketing strategy.
Need advice specific to your organisation? Contact one of our content marketing experts to find out how to deliver content marketing that works.

MaiBockAddict (76) Good Beer Bar Deprived, New Jersey | February 20, 2005
The cascade IPA that was on tap for my Feb 19 visit was the best IPA I have ever had. Beers are decent. They do experiment so there can be suprises on tap. They save kegs of stronger beers for aging purposes. Food seemed like standard food service stuff re heated as required. Looked as if at least half the menu was pre-prepared. I think this place would be better for the beer, which is what we want anyway. Had a real nice bartender when we were there (Sat afternoon) as well.
Bobumpin (3) Amherst, Massachusetts | May 16, 2016
I love ABC and the new building now that they have combined with Hangar. I do miss the small bar across the street, doesnt have the same homey feel but does the trick. beer is always fresh, bartenders are knowledgable and the game is always on.
OldGrowth (204) the Containment Area, North Carolina | May 27, 2015
I swung by on a early tuesday afternoon. Sat at the bar downstairs, shaped like a backwards letter J. Celler was a Brick darkwood, tile motif. You can see the brewing equipment around you. Clean and comfortable. Service was good, but it wasn't like it was particlulary busy either. I got to chat with the brewer, Mike. He gave me the nickle history of both the brewpub and his background. They had the Pilsner, Pale ale, Ipa, Esb, Brown, Impy Stout, Scotch, Raspberry brown, and a Lager on while I was there. Had a burger with cheddar and jalepenoes and fries, Burger was good, fries were very tasty. I thought it seemed like a great little place. I wish it were closer. Update 05/27/2015 oy new location blows imo, big sports bar vibe no charm. Hate it, beer is fine, didn't have food, not a place for me.
Mikeyaponte (9) Chicopee, Massachusetts | January 28, 2015
Huge bar! Good place to hit up before or after a UMass game. Service was good the beer was delicious.
Vandevua (4) New Jersey | April 24, 2014
Beer was pretty good but service was very slow. Also, do not order food, I was up all night with food poisoning after eating here.
Cletus (233) Connecticut | February 9, 2014
Stopped here on my way back from Vermont. The place itself is on the large side, decorated with some nice breweriana, complete with a huge bar. Service is on the pretentious side. Beers are decent. Didn't order any food.
Boudicca (1331) London, England | January 8, 2014
A very large brewpub in a small shopping mall. The bar runs almost the full length of the room, which is huge and accommodates several pool tables. We were here the day that Hurricane Sandy hit the coast and there was a great community spirit when the power went off leaving only one television screen and an eerie vodka display with the lights on. They had five regular beers and five seasonals. We were able to try most of them (well, Chris was - I was driving), despite having difficulty paying as the cash registers and card readers all rely on electricity too. (Visited 29 October 2012).
cubs (420) Fort Collins, Colorado | December 12, 2013
Stopped by here while my girlfriend was studying in New Hampshire. Food was pretty good, service was good, and the beer quality was good. I enjoyed this place a fair amount and would definitely visit again.

DiarmaidBHK (995) Lewisburg, Pennsylvania | May 5, 2012
Large place located in a shopping center. The bar area is massive as is the bar itself. I went on a Friday and was impressed by how many people they had behind the bar. They had 11 of their beers on tap 1 on cask plus 10 guest taps. The beers ranged from bland to sold with nothing either outstanding or terrible. the food was very flavorful and everything was very reaonably priced especially after spending a couple of days in Boston.
irishalky (13) Littleton, Massachusetts | September 12, 2010
My favorite watering hole in Amherst. Well crafted and full bodied home brewed beer. Always sample a few before taking a growler home.

The following form allows you to view linux man pages.
#include <unistd.h>
ssize_t pread(int fd, void *buf, size_t count, off_t offset);

Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):
pread(), pwrite():
|| /* Since glibc 2.12: */ _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200809L
pread() reads up to count bytes from file descriptor fd at offset off-
set (from the start of the file) into the buffer starting at buf. The
file offset is not changed.
pwrite() writes up to count bytes from the buffer starting at buf to
the file descriptor fd at offset offset. The file offset is not
The file referenced by fd must be capable of seeking.
On success, the number of bytes read or written is returned (zero indi-
cates that nothing was written, in the case of pwrite(), or end of
file, in the case of pread()), or -1 on error, in which case errno is
set to indicate the error.
pread() can fail and set errno to any error specified for read(2) or
lseek(2). pwrite() can fail and set errno to any error specified for
write(2) or lseek(2).
The pread() and pwrite() system calls were added to Linux in version
2.1.60; the entries in the i386 system call table were added in 2.1.69.
C library support (including emulation using lseek(2) on older kernels
without the system calls) was added in glibc 2.1.
The pread() and pwrite() system calls are especially useful in multi-
threaded applications. They allow multiple threads to perform I/O on
the same file descriptor without being affected by changes to the file
offset by other threads.
On Linux, the underlying system calls were renamed in kernel 2.6:
lseek(2), read(2), readv(2), write(2)

I have recently inherited a computer which you GTG have helped me clean and all is running well.
The person I got the computer from was a farmer and as such there is evidence of this.
Every time I open Outlook Express, there is an extra pane with Farming Online logo.
Also, when I open Google, right at the top of the page in the blue bar it says "Google - Farming Online".
Could you tell me how to remove this from the computer as I stopped wanting to be farmer when I was about six!

One little park in downtown Boynton Beach has undergone three name changes in the past year.
Ocean Avenue Park, located at 100 NE4th Avenue, near Ocean Avenue, was renamed from Veterans Park in December. But as of Tuesday its new name is Dewey Park.
Commissioner Joe Casello requested that the renaming of the park be put on the June 18 agenda to honor two of the city's founders, husband and wife Fred and Byrd Spilman Dewey.
The motion passed 3-to-2.
The name change went before the commission in February 2012 at the request of Ginger Pedersen of the Boynton Historical Society, but she said the commission was in a "state of turmoil" and the vote died 2-to-2.
Pedersen said she came back to the new commission with a different outlook.
"We're a new day here, it's a new time in Boynton, I'm going to give it one more shot to see if we can honor our heritage for this town," she said.
The Dewey's were one of Boynton's first citizens. Byrd founded the first library and Fred petitioned the school board for Boynton's first school. Byrd bought land near Federal Highway and Boynton Beach Boulevard for $700 and sold it to the city's founding father, Nathaniel Boynton, for $6,000.
"In a region where so many are from somewhere else, I think it is imperative that people know a little about Boynton's history," Casello said.
But other commissioners had hang ups about the rename.
"I do have mixed emotions on the whole thing, we just recently changed that name and we changed it to Ocean Avenue Park because what we're trying to accomplish in the long run," Hay said, referring to developing Ocean Avenue into a downtown destination.

Vishwaroop flops on Day 1 - Shocked cinemas, plexes hope for better business
Read more below
- Published 2.02.13
|A trickle of a crowd in front of Payal Cinema on Friday. Picture by Bhola Prasad
A controversy is not always good for the promotion of a film, the city showed Kamal Haasan on Friday.
Vishwaroop, the much-talked-about Hindi version of Kamal Haasan's controversial Vishwaroopam, hit silver screens in Jamshedpur on Friday albeit to a meek response from film lovers and the surprise of theatre owners.
The film — written, directed and co-produced by Haasan — is being screened at Eylex Fun N Films, Payal Cinema and GT Cinema, which reported an average occupancy of 40-45 per cent on Friday, the first day of its release.
While Eylex is running five shows at 10.45am, 1.35pm, 4.25pm, 7.15pm and 8.40pm daily, Payal Cinema has lined up two shows for the flick at 2.50pm and 8.50pm. GT Cinema will screen the movie daily at 2pm and 5pm.
"Whenever a film is marred by controversy it usually sees a huge opening. But, the crowds did not trickle in on Friday," said Shourish Gupta, manager of Payal Cinema. He, however, hoped that business picked up over the weekend.
"We screened the 2.50pm show to a half empty theatre," the manager said.
For Eylex, the news was worse.
The 10.45am show at the multiplex hardly saw any crowd with the theatre staff bravely pegging the total occupancy for the morning show at 18 per cent. Things did not get better as the day progressed, with the next two shows of the movie notching up a 30 per cent audience occupancy count.
Eylex officials, though, refused to read too much into the first day flop show.
"The opening was bad of course. However, we have had many enquiries pouring in. We hope the crowds swell," said Amrita Singh of Eylex Fun N Films.
The handful that did brave Vishwaroop on the first day, found the movie ordinary.
"I do not know what all the fuss was about. The movie is like any other Bollywood flick on terrorism," Diwakar Singh, who is a teacher by profession, told The Telegraph after coming out of Eylex Fun N Films on NH-33 .

How's your January going? If you read my healthy plan for 2018, you'll know that I'm determined to be more healthy this month (and hopefully carrying on for the entire year), to foster a healthier respect for alcohol, break the habit of my after dinner glass or two of wine and eat a much healthier diet, with a lot less meat and sweet treats. How am I getting on? Well, it's been a bit of a rollercoaster, but I think I'm on the right track. Read on for my thoughts so far on my Drinkaware month – an update on my mission to break bad habits and foster new, healthy ones.

text: A study, which started as one of the MACC service chain development examples, has now led to a well-received publication on meningitis. Carlos Pérez García-Pando and co-authors have shown the usefulness of dust aerosol climatologies to predict part of the year-to-year variability of the seasonal incidence of meningitis at both national and district levels in Niger. Statistical models can provide an early-season alert that wind, dust and other conditions are potentially conducive to an meningitis epidemic, which can support the planning for needed treatment. The full article can be found in Environmental Health Perspectives. More information can also be found at International Research Institute for Climate and Society and Astrobiology Magazine.

Bound For Oxford County in a Basket
Source: Brooklyn (N.Y.) Daily Eagle, issue of July 29, 1888.
CHILDREN IN A HUGE BASKETIt was early in March long years ago, when one of the pioneer settlers of Oxford County made up his mind to move his family from Massachusetts to that favorite region. He had seven little ones, and feared they could not endure so long a journey and the piercing cold. How do you think he took care of them? The father obtained from a neighbor a great basket, twelve feet by six and four feet high. It was fitted on an ox sled, and was made for the purpose of transporting grass seed. The seven little ones were packed in straw in this basket like so many kittens or pigs, and made the journey safe and warm. The basket is yet preserved by the pioneer's descendants.—Lewiston Journal.

We are delighted to announce a number of new projects & early business cases that have started up during Q4 2016. If you have any questions on the projects please contact Carmen, John or Nick.
Unified Data Model (UDM)
In an increasingly collaborative R&D environment, exchanging information between partnering organisations is paramount. This process is still overly complex due to the differing systems & data formats that each organisation may have and the inability to directly consume these specific formats.
This project is looking at the feasibility of starting with sharing Reaction data using an established format and in future building out these Unifying data Models to support enhanced collaborative data exchange.
Jarek Tomczak is leading the UDM business case and his company was also finalist in our President's Challenge 2015 and Jarek has worked both for Pharma and Informatics companies.

Sequence Analysis in Regulated Domain
Sequence Services – including Sequence Analysis – are providing exciting opportunities for the biopharmaceutical industry including research into microbiome-based therapies, into gene repair therapies and into the evolution of cancer cells. However, as the use of these techniques spreads, as it penetrates the regulated domains of the biopharmaceutical industry – so do the challenges increase. For example, clinical research increasingly uses sequence analysis to identify patient cohorts for clinical trials, and the biopharmaceutical industry uses information from sequence analysis in support of submissions to regulatory agencies e.g. the FDA for authorisation of INDs (Investigational New Drugs) and for marketing authorisation with NDAs/BLAs (New Drug Applications / Biologics Licensing Applications).
This project is looking at how to best support those performing Sequence Analysis under these regulated environments and how best to develop these approaches in a pre-competitive way.

User-Centered Design (UCD) in Scientific Software
Scientists want software that is very easy and intuitive to use. Companies involved in R&D activities heavily rely on the interaction of scientists and software developers during the development process, but to a lesser degree on professionals who focus on the ease-of-use of their software products. As a result, current scientific software could benefit from the practice of User-centered design (UCD), a relatively new field in software development that puts the end users and their needs into the focus of all software development efforts.
Paula de Matos is running this project and has UX/UCD experience from EBI/EMBL and a software development background.

Maastricht (; Limburgish : Mestreech ; French: Maestricht ; Spanish: Mastrique ) is a town and a municipality in the Southeast of the European country the Netherlands. It is the capital city in the province of Limburg.
Maastricht is located on both sides of the Meuse river (Dutch: Maas), at the point where the Jeker River (French: Geer) joins it.
In history Maastricht developed from a Belgic settlement, that in the Gallic Wars was conquered by the Romans and thus became a Roman settlement, to a religious centre, a garrison city and an early industrial city. Nowadays, it is known as an especially cultured city (including local folklore) and education. Maastricht's rich history shows from the fact that in this town no less than 1677 national heritage sites (Rijksmonumenten) are located, which is the second highest number in a Dutch town, after Amsterdam. Furthermore, it has become known, by way of the Maastricht Treaty, as the birthplace of the European Union, European citizenship, and the single European currency, the euro. The town is popular with tourists for shopping and recreation, and has a large growing international student population. Maastricht is a member of the Most Ancient European Towns Network and is part of the Meuse-Rhine Euroregion, which includes nearby cities Aachen, Eupen, Hasselt, Liège and Tongeren.
Etymology and 'oldest city in the Netherlands' dispute
The name Maastricht is derived from Latin Trajectum ad Mosam (or Mosae Trajectum), meaning 'crossing at the Meuse', and referring to the bridge built by the Romans. The Latin name first appears in medieval documents and it is not known whether this was Maastricht's official name during Roman times.
There is some debate as to whether Maastricht is the oldest city in the Netherlands. Some people consider Nijmegen the oldest, mainly because it was the first settlement in the Netherlands to receive Roman city rights. Maastricht never did, but it may be considerably older as a settlement. In addition, Maastricht can claim uninterrupted habitation since Roman times. A large number of archeological finds confirms this. Nijmegen has a gap in its history: there is practically no evidence of habitation in the early Middle Ages.
A resident of Maastricht is referred to as Maastrichtenaar whilst in the local dialect it is either Mestreechteneer or, colloquially, Sjeng (derived from the formerly popular French name Jean).
Early history
Neanderthal remains have been found to the west of Maastricht (Belvédère excavations). Of a later date are Palaeolithic remains, between 8,000 and 25,000 years old. Celts lived here around 500 BC, at a spot where the river Meuse was shallow and therefore easy to cross.
It is not known exactly when the Romans arrived in Maastricht, or whether the settlement was founded by them. It is known, though, that the Romans built a bridge over the Meuse in the 1st century AD, during the reign of Augustus Caesar. The bridge was an important link in the main road between Bavay and Cologne. Roman Maastricht was probably relatively small. Remains of the Roman road, the bridge, a religious shrine, a Roman bath, a granary, some houses and the 4th-century castrum walls and gates, have been excavated. Fragments of provincial Roman sculptures, as well as coins, jewelry, glass, pottery and other objects from Roman Maastricht are on display in the exhibition space of the city's public library (Centre Céramique).
According to legend, the Armenian-born Saint Servatius, bishop of Tongeren, died in Maastricht in 384 and was buried there along the Roman road, outside the castrum. According to Gregory of Tours it was bishop Monulph who, around 570, built the first stone church on the grave of Servatius, the present-day Basilica of Saint Servatius. The city remained an early Christian diocese until it lost this position to nearby Liège in the early 8th century.
Middle Ages
In the early Middle Ages Maastricht was, along with Aachen and the area around Liège, part of the heartland of the Carolingian Empire. The town was an important centre for trade and manufacturing. Merovingian coins minted in Maastricht have been found in many places throughout Europe. In the 10th century Maastricht briefly became the capital of the duchy of Lower Lorraine.
During the 12th century the town flourished culturally. The provosts of the church of Saint Servatius held important positions in the Holy Roman Empire during this era. The city's two main churches were largely rebuilt and redecorated. Maastricht Romanesque stone sculpture is regarded as one of the highlights of Mosan art. Maastricht painters were praised by Wolfram von Eschenbach in his Parzival. Around the same time, the poet Henric van Veldeke wrote a legend of Saint Servatius, one of the earliest works in Dutch literature.
Shortly after 1200 the city received dual authority, with the prince-bishops of Liège and the dukes of Brabant holding joint sovereignty over the city. Maastricht received city rights in 1204. Soon afterwards the first ring of medieval walls were built. Throughout the Middle Ages, the city remained a centre for trade and manufacturing of wool and leather but gradually economic decline set in. After a brief period of economic prosperity in the 15th century, the city's economy suffered during the wars of religion of the 16th and 17th centuries, and recovery did not happen until the industrial revolution in the early 19th century.
16th to 19th centuries
The important strategic location of Maastricht resulted in the construction of an impressive array of fortifications around the city during this period. The Spanish and Dutch garrisons became an important factor in the city's economy. In 1579 the city was sacked by the Spanish army under general Alexander Farnese, Duke of Parma (Siege of Maastricht, 1579). For over fifty years the Spanish crown took over the role of the dukes of Brabant in the joint sovereignty over Maastricht. In 1632 the city was conquered by Frederick Henry, Prince of Orange and the Dutch States General replaced the Spanish crown in the joint government of Maastricht.
Another Siege of Maastricht (1673) took place during the Franco-Dutch War. In June 1673, Louis XIV laid siege to the city because French battle supply lines were being threatened. During this siege, Vauban, the famous French military engineer, developed a new strategy in order to break down the strong fortifications surrounding Maastricht. His systematic approach remained the standard method of attacking fortresses until the 20th century. On 25 June 1673, while preparing to storm the city, captain-lieutenant Charles de Batz de Castelmore, also known as the comte d'Artagnan, was killed by a musket shot outside Tongerse Poort. This event was embellished in Alexandre Dumas' novel The Vicomte de Bragelonne, part of the D'Artagnan Romances. French troops occupied Maastricht from 1673 to 1678.
In 1748 the French once again conquered the city at what is known as the Second French Siege of Maastricht, during the War of Austrian Succession. The French took the city one last time in 1794, when the condominium was dissolved and Maastricht was annexed to the First French Empire (1794-1814). For twenty years Maastricht was the capital of the French département of Meuse-Inférieure.
After the Napoleonic era, Maastricht became part of the United Kingdom of the Netherlands in 1815. It was made the capital of the newly formed Province of Limburg (1815–1839). When the southern provinces of the newly formed kingdom seceded in 1830 (Belgian Revolution), the Dutch garrison in Maastricht remained loyal to the Dutch king, William I of the Netherlands, even when most of the inhabitants of the town and the surrounding area sided with the Belgian revolutionaries. In 1831, arbitration by the Great Powers allocated the city to the Netherlands. However, neither the Dutch nor the Belgians agreed to this and it was not until the 1839 Treaty of London that the arrangement was implemented. It was during this period of isolation that Maastricht developed into an early industrial town.
Because of its eccentric location in the southeastern Netherlands, and its geographical and cultural proximity to Belgium and Germany, integration of Maastricht and Limburg into the Netherlands did not come about easily. Maastricht retained a distinctly non-Dutch appearance during much of the 19th century and it was not until the First World War that the city was forced to look northwards.
20th century and onwards
Maastricht did not escape the ravages of World War II. It was quickly taken by the Germans during the Battle of Maastricht in May 1940, but on 14 September 1944 it was also the first Dutch city to be liberated by allied forces. The three Meuse bridges were destroyed or severely damaged during the war. The majority of Maastricht Jews were murdered in Nazi concentration camps.
The latter half of the century saw the decline of traditional industries (such as the famous Maastricht potteries) and a shift to a service economy. Maastricht University was founded in 1976. Several European institutions have found their base in Maastricht. In 1992, the Maastricht Treaty was negotiated and signed here, leading to the creation of the European Union and the euro.
In recent years, under mayor Gerd Leers, Maastricht launched a campaign against drug-related problems. Leers instigated a controversial plan to relocate some of the cannabis coffee shops—where the purchase of soft drugs in limited quantities is tolerated—from the city centre to the outskirts, in an attempt to stop (foreign) buyers from causing trouble in the downtown area. Although the so-called "coffee corner plan" has not been entirely abandoned, the new mayor Onno Hoes has given priority to the Dutch government's approach of limiting entrance to 'coffee shops' to Dutch adults only, and to tackle the problem of drug runners in cooperation with the city of Rotterdam (where the majority of drug runners are from).
On a positive note, large parts of the city centre were thoroughly refurbished in recent years, including the area around the main railway station, the main shopping streets, the Entre Deux and Mosae Forum shopping centres, and the Maasboulevard promenade along the Meuse. Also, a new quarter, including the new Bonnefanten Museum, a public library, a theater and several housing blocks designed by international architects, was built on the grounds of the former Céramique potteries near the town centre. As a result, Maastricht looks notably smarter. Further large-scale projects, such as the redevelopment of the Sphinx and Belvédère areas, are underway.

So, we're now firmly well into the swing of 2016, even though Christmas feels like last week... Spring time now means one thing, the run up to our first ANSecurity charity event of the year.
Our annual British Heat Foundation London to Brighton bike ride team has now been assembled and the training has now started. Eek! This year's 54 mile slog from Clapham Common to the Brighton sea front is on the 19th June 2016 and our squad has doubled in size!
Charity events are no secret to ANSecurity, we completed last year's London to Brighton ride along with the 'Do It For Charity Text Santa Run' in December, we managed to raise almost £1000 for various charities, and this year we want to smash the thousand pound mark!
The BHF London to Brighton Bike Ride has gone strength to strength over the years with over 650,000 riders who have taken part and have raised over £40 million since 1980, and we're extremely proud to be part of this cause. Heart disease affects millions of men and women in the UK and the single most common cause of death in Europe under 65.
So… some of the team! This year we have last year's winners Alex Balcombe and Giles Barford back on board and leading the team, Giles is an experienced and accomplished rider while Alex completed London to Brighton last year at his first attempt, he has also undertaken a personal trainer to work him hard to be in the best possible shape for June. Next we have Matt and Aaron, who would much rather be in the pub with a beer… We could go through the rest of the team, however we'll be here all day!
So with a completely mixed team of ability, age and experience it's looking to be an interesting day for some of us, let's hope the weather holds out. (Fingers crossed)
Any donation big or small will be hugely appreciated, let's work together to help the British Heart Foundation lead the fight against heart disease and give those that are less fortunate the chance to live healthier and happier lives.
Alex adds "As a veteran of last year's ride, I have a fair idea of what to expect at this year's L2B Bike ride. Even though, it is an extremely gruelling riding 54 miles…. Completing the race with other enthusiastic riders, doing it for charity and getting great support along the way makes the day worthwhile. I am looking forward to joining members of ANSecurity as we tackle this great challenge together."

Exclusive to The Conran Shop, the Beetle Chair in Jabana navy fabric was designed by the Danish-Italian design duo GamFratesi for Gubi and was first presented at Milan's annual Mindcraft exhibition in 2013.
Having sought inspiration from the beetle's unassuming beauty and incredible functionality, GamFratesi modelled the chair on the eponymous insect. Not only does the Beetle Chair evoke the anatomy and striking characteristics of the beetle, but it also draws upon the functional beauty of its shell. Inspired by the beetle's robust carapace, the seat and back of the Beetle Chair are perfectly tailored to the human form to create optimum comfort.
With this new evolution, the elegant chair is upholstered in a luxurious Jabana microfibre suede effect fabric in a navy hue, which enhances the comfort and functionality of the stylish design piece. Impeccably finished with a non-stackable base featuring sleek black powder-coated steel legs, the Beetle Chair would beautifully accent any dining area.

Schreiber: NOT Playing Chris Benoit
Liev Schreiber will NOT be playing wrestler Chris Benoit — who murdered his wife and son in 2007, then committed suicide — in a biopic about the wrestler's life … despite reports to the contrary … Liev's rep tells TMZ.
Rumors swirled that Schreiber had signed on to play Benoit in the film "Crossface" — which has been in the works since 2011 — but we're told it just ain't so.
Benoit's story is as tragic as they come … with the wrestler turning on his wife and 7-year-old son in a violent rage that may have been caused by brain injuries he sustained during his wrestling career.
So far, no official word on who IS set to play the troubled wrestler in the biopic.

"Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid." Albert Einstein saId this long before NCLB, TAAS, MCAS, FCAT, CAT and all the rest. The idea of standards-based education and testing was to make education equal; students would have the same rigor of instruction and learning expectations no matter where they went to school. This concept is hard to argue with. But, the reality is that equality of results relies on so many factors beyond teachers: equality of funding, student health and nutrition, availability of good tutors, emotional stability, parental and community support, culture etc. These variables are enormous. Yet the statisticians insist on comparing schools based on these assessments, to the detriment of the school and the student. No school wants to be labeled underperforming. No principal deserves to be fired for the variables that impact student performance. (Some may deserve to be fired for doing their job poorly as a manager and an instructional leader.) Where will "underperforming" schools find top-notch teachers? How can they do a good job in an atmosphere of low morale and high pressure?
It's the students who suffer most from low self-esteem, are labeled and put in remedial classes. These kids go through life believing they are stupid. This is the real crime of the system. There's a high school in Massachusetts with a 50% dropout rate. Yes, I said Massachusetts. Many of these students would make great graphical designers, historians, physical education or world language teachers, EMTs and a wide variety of other professionals. Yet they gave up because they had no hope of passing the MCAS in math or English/language arts and graduating. Howard Gardner at Harvard elucidated the theory of Multiple Intelligences 30 years ago, yet the current educational system totally ignores this valuable concept.
Every student needs certain basic capabilities in reading, computer literacy and mathematics. These expectations are essential. We needed to move beyond "social promotion" of a few generations ago where it was possible for a student to graduate unable to read. We must look to the options available for graduates to be able to earn a living and to the talents of the individual students. Education should be nurturing their multiple intelligences. Surely our next generation will need science and math graduates, but many others as well. Education in some countries prepares the students for the opportunities available in the workforce. By the end of 4th grade, every child in Aruba is fluent in three languages: Papiamento, English and Spanish because the number one industry there is tourism. Tourists are primarily from the US and South America. Most can do mental math with money faster than you or I can use a calculator. But if these people had gone to school in the US, they would have no future, no high school diploma, no opportunity, and the pursuit of happiness would be beyond their reach.
