Just a simple little box for the Cell Phone.
I thought this would be a good idea to get the Cell Phone off the counter for charging. Hung out of the way with the cord tucked in all nice and neat! Used up some walnut and pine scraps…
Tanks for looking!

I have found that a power strip with 6 AC outlets and 6 USB outlets very handy…
Then, phones, pads, bluetooth speakers, etc. can be used very easily without using the Space Hog Transformers.

Having visited the likes of Winston Churchill's Blenheim Palace, Buckingham Palace, and the ancient Palace of Alhambra in Spain, I did not think I would be easily impressed by pomp and circumstance. That was before my visit to Versailles, France.
The more than 2000 acres of property at Versailles was initially a hunting retreat for King Louis XIII and his courtiers. Under the reign of Louis XIV Versailles Palace as it is known today was begun. The Royal Family used Versailles as an occasional residence, and then as the seat of government.
I so much wanted to get good photographs of the Palace's interior, but I would have needed a tripod in order to use slow shutter speed for optimum lighting. Since that was not possible the few interior photos I shot are poor quality. I'll keep them as a reminder of my trip to magnificent Versailles.
I've included a "painterly style" scene of Latona Fountain in the massive gardens as well as the actual photo. Since the photo is sharper you will be able to see gold statues of frogs, turtles and alligators, all with water spouts in their mouths. But you'll need to click through to see a good, clear image. Unfortunately the spouts were not "spouting" when we visited. That's a shot that will have to wait until my next trip.

Posted on Oct 3, 2017 2:08:43 PM
To help the victims of the most recent hurricanes, the IRS has decided to relax some of its rules, which would allow these victims to take out hardship loans against their 401(k) retirement accounts. Although having this money may help you to replace some of your possessions, it may not be the best course of action for everyone.
About Hardship Loans
When you take out a hardship loan against your 401(k), it isn't taxable as long as you pay the debt back within the specified term. In most cases, the term will be five years. In addition, this type of loan doesn't require a credit check, and it isn't nearly as expensive as using a credit card to cover the costs of rebuilding and/or replacing your possessions.
However, it is important to note that a hardship loan isn't without risks. If you leave your current employer before the loan has been repaid, you must pay the remaining balance within 60 to 90 days. For many borrowers, this would be difficult or impossible.
Disadvantages of Hardship Distributions
Hardship distributions are different from hardship loans, and taking out a hardship distribution has a significant effect on your financial future. Although Congress may eliminate the 10 percent penalty on early withdrawals for hurricane victims under age 59 1/2, the distribution won't be exempt from ordinary income tax. In addition, the total amount of money in your 401(k) drops as soon as you take out a distribution, which reduces the income the account earns in the future.
Other Options
Hardship loans and hardship distributions aren't the only options for hurricane victims who need extra money. Some of the other options you could consider include:
To learn more about any of these options, please contact Padgett Business Services today.

Sales mandate
The sales mandate is the contract by which the owner of the property comprising one or more items gives the Auction House, CapitoliumArt, permission to sell those items according to the conditions contained therein. This contract is completed in duplicate upon consignment of the lots, the original remains at the auction house and the copy goes to the customer. Where items are consigned by courier the mandate must be completed in original and sent with the items. The customer copy will be sent to the customer later.
Commission payable to the auction house is 30% of hammer prices below €500 and 15% above €500.
Transport and insurance costs
Transport and insurance costs are paid by the customer. The cost of insurance is 1% calculated on the total of the reserve prices on the sales mandate for "nail to nail" cover. This is paid in advance by the auction house and deducted at the time of payment. In the case of lots not sold the insurance cost must be paid by the client before items are returned.
Resale right (Droit de suite)
For modern artworks subject to resale right, an additional percentage will be applied, calculated as follows: applicable work: original works of fine art such as paintings, "collages", drawings, engravings, prints, lithographs, sculptures, tapestries, ceramics, glass works, photographs and original manuscripts; copies of works of fine arts produced in limited numbers by the author or under authority fromthe author, provided they are numbered, signed or duly authorised by the author. Fees: the fee is calculated on the sale price, net of tax, on a percentage basis, which varies according to the different brackets, as follows: 4% for the portion of the sale price of between €3,000.00 and €50,000.00; 3% for the portion of the sale price of between €50,000.01 and €200,000.00; 1% for the portion of the sale price of between €200,000.01 and €350,000.00; 0.5% for the portion of the sale price of between €350.000,01 and €500,000.00; 0.25% for the portion of the sale price exceeding €500,000.00, subject to a maximum payment of €12,500.00.
Unsold lots
If requested by the customer, the auction house will put unsold lots to auction again at a leter date, on condition that the reserve prices are lowered. Otherwise these lots must be picked up within thirty days from the auction date at no additional charge. After this deadline storage costs will apply.

DELANY is a brand new fascinating project with internationally well known musicians such as Lana Lane, David Readman and Davy Vain. The concept album "Blaze & Ashes" is based on Wolfgang Hohlbein's continuation of his successful fantasy novels "Chronicle of the Immortal". The adventures take place in London and are wrapped up in an exciting and emotional rock album. The main book actors Andrey, Abu Dun, Inspector Marcus, Frederic, Loki and Meruhe are spectacularly played to the gallery by the singers! Dennis Ward was once again responsible for a brilliant mix and mastering!
Wolfgang Hohlbein, born 1953 in Weimar, belongs to the most successful and important authors in Germany with more than 35 million sold books. He achieved his break through in 1982 with his book for young people called "Märchenmond" for which he received the Phantastik price of the city of Wetzlar. From this point on, he wrote more than 150 novels, children's and youth's books as well as screen plays.
The concept of "Blaze & Ashes" was launched by Volker Leson. Based on Hohlbein's new novel, he created a unique and special musical master plan. Volker Leson has been actively involved in the music business with his heavy metal band WIZARD for 20 years. Over the last year he could gain a high reputation in the international metalcircus with his recent album releases. Besides of Davy Vain, Volker Leson is one of the main songwriters / lyricists. Davy Vain reached international success with his band VAIN in the 1980's and ever since then he is also a well sought after and booked songwriter / producer for artists such as JOURNEY, VAN HALEN, CHRISTINA AGUILERA, LINDA PERRY (4 NON BLONDES), DEATH ANGEL, etc. Davy knows, like no one other, how to create great song structures with catchy melodies so that each song becomes his very own special vibe and emotion! Beside Volker and Davy, a young and talented guy of the "new generation of rock" is the third songwriter: Torsti Spoof of Finnish hardrock high-flyer LEVERAGE.
As to Lana Lane, the main female actor, it is not even necessary to announce her in a fancy manner. Lana is an international star, when we are talking about progressive & symphonic metal and classic rock. She always works with high profile musicians on her albums such as BLUE MURDER and THE FIRM bass player Tony Franklin, keyboarder Eric Norlander, Mark Boals, Gary Hughes, just to mention a few. Especially in Asia, Lana reached single figure chart placements. Along with Lana Lane in the first row is also David Readman of PINK CREAM 69, ADAGIO and VOODOO CIRCLE. David is a fascinating charismatic singer who convinces not only in the studio but electrifies his live audience with his voice and charisma. That's why David can often be seen live on stage rocking with his band (Alex Beyrodt und SIMPLE MINDS drummer Mel Gaynor).
The ex-"Wunderkind" Jamie Scott (Vain), who already joined the legendary metal band VICIOUS RUMORS at the age of 16 played guitar on the album together with Dano Boland from WIZARD. Tommy Rickard is responsible for all drums on the album and no one else as keyboard mastermind Erik Norlander is doing keyboards on "Love Tears".
Dennis Ward (PINK CREAM 69) is known for brilliant and powerful productions and once again he refined BLAZE AND ASHES with his mix and mastering.
"Blaze & Ashes" is a timeless rock album, thematically and stylistically connected to Wolfgang Hohlbein's new novel "Chronic of Immortals" … the rumours about the mysterious case of death let both immortals Delany and Abu Dun move to London to search for the Phantom! On an exciting and fascinating hunt both get into traps set by a gang of street kids and find themselves in the police' dungeon before a huge fire sparks over London …

Photography has potential for being an activity that will bring you great satisfaction. You do need proper knowledge and planned effort in order to succeed however. Read this article to get some new ideas and learn the basics of photography.
Keep your technique for snapping photographs simple and easy. Keeping it simple means sticking with standard settings instead of changing them every time you shoot. You can take terrific photos this way.
If you want to become a serious photographer, you need a dSLR. This type of digital camera will give you the most accurate view of your subject as you snap the picture. If you want the largest image sensor, as well as the most highly detailed images, choose a full-frame DSLR.
Take down notes on different experiments you perform while taking your photographs. As your collection grows, it will become more and more difficult to remember the details, such as where and when you took a particular shot. Use a notepad to record numbers of photos and descriptions.
It is a good idea to look at what other photographers do in order to get inspiration. By studying the images taken by other photographers, you will recall that the perfect shot can be captured through a vast number of methods and techniques.
You will have a better picture if your subject is off-center a little. Pre-focus your camera, and move a little to one side. Centering a subject is extremely common, especially among amateurs, and tends to make for a very uninteresting photograph. Off-centering your subject will make your picture look more unique and interesting.
Your arms should be close against your body when you are holding the camera, and make sure your hands are on the sides and bottom of the camera. You will get less shaking and have clearer shots. Having your hands and arms placed like this also reduces the chances that you will get bumped or drop the camera.
When going somewhere new, get an idea of what things you ought to be taking pictures of. To get some pointers on where to start, head to the nearest postcard rack. Postcards have a lot of different ideas of locations or subjects you can take photos of.
There's so many different features to play with on your camera. Make sure you adjust your colors and angles while experimenting. Your subject does not have to be original in order for your photo to be unique. A good photographer makes even insignificant objects look interesting. Experiment as much as you can, and find your own style.
Most of the time the subject is looking straight into the camera. Try to capture different feelings, by having your subject focus on something other than the camera, off in the distance. You could also try to have the people in the picture look at something in the frame.
Make sure your batteries are always charged so that you never miss an incredible shot. You can go through batteries quickly, especially if you have a LCD screen, so be sure that you have fresh batteries in it before you head out for a day of photography. It is also a good idea to carry around spare batteries. This way you will never miss out on a great shot.
Take the time to read your camera manual. Manuals frequently are large and awkward. Most people simply ignore them or throw them away altogether. Instead of losing it, take time to actually read your manual. The manual can assist you in taking higher quality pictures and prevent dumb mistakes.
Be prepared to take notes when you practice photography. Just looking at all those pictures you took could be hard to recall your feelings about them or where they were even taken. Carry a small notebook with you so you can take brief notes as you take each photograph.
Capture your subject with speed and dexterity. You will not know if that opportunity will ever present itself to you again, so get the shot! People can tire holding a smile, animals can run, or you could lose that "perfect" candid moment and then the moment will have passed. It is more important to get a decent picture than to waste the opportunity trying for the perfect shot or camera setting.
External Flash
Look for patterns in your subject matter, no matter if they happen to be natural or artificial. Patterns help draw the eye to a photograph and make it more interesting to view. You can use patterns to your advantage and create backgrounds and interesting angles that enhance your subjects.
Digital cameras normally contain a built-in flash, that automatically turns on when the natural light is too low. This is fine for casual snapshots, but if you want more professional results, you need the wider lighting options you can get by using an external flash. Make sure that your camera contains a "hot shoe" that accommodates an external flash. Make a trip to a camera store to make sure you get the right flash for your camera.
Consider lighting carefully when taking photos. Some photos are more striking when taken in shadow, while others need you to expose the subject's highlights. Use photo editing software to put two photographs together and make them the perfect picture!
Find something suitable and interesting to photograph. It doesn't matter how skilled you are, or how great your equipment is, you need a great subject to photograph. Find a subject that brings you inspiration, whether it be a model or an object.
Every time you change subjects or backgrounds, take some practice shots to see how your settings are working with the shot. There are many small differences from one photo shoot to another. When you take lots of practice shots, you prepare yourself for any eventuality. The lighting in any given setting can change, so make sure you take lots of practice shots between real pictures.
Experiment with taking pictures from different angles to see how it changes your interest in the subject of your photograph. Viewing one photo after another where the subject is perfectly centered in the shot can become boring in a hurry. An off-centered shot is likely to appear more interesting in the eyes of the viewer.
Try to do all your photo editing yourself. You have plenty of software options to choose from when it comes to photo-editing programs. Choose software that has a ton of different effects and editing tools available. Locate that program that is simple to master for your own needs.
Think about getting together with other photographers in a club. You can also just make a photographer friend to snap pictures with. While you do not want to let someone else influence the style of you pictures, you may be able to learn some new techniques and tricks from others. Looking at shot comparisons can show the different points of view found in photography.
You can put a new spin on an old subject, by photographing it from different angles or using different camera features. Before you begin to shoot your subject, you should learn how to use these settings and features so that you can effectively manipulate the shot.
Anyone can become a great photographer, there are no secret methods. Keep shooting pictures, and get experienced at doing so. With a digital camera, you don't have to keep all of your test shots; only keep the ones that you like and will look at again later. Over time, as you continue to take photographs of everything, you will get better at analyzing them and determining what could make each photo even better.
If you still use an old-style film camera, pay attention to the brand of film you select for your photos. Most reputable film brands perform well, so this choice really comes down to personal preference. There is no true advantage to using one film over another. It's your choice.
Photography is truly a form of art, and you should try to practice simplicity in your shots. There is no reason to clutter or add a bunch of elements to your shots. Simplicity is an art in itself, so apply this to your photographs.
To help add depth to your landscape photographs put something interesting in your foreground. Even a simple item like a rock could add another dimension to the picture. The enhanced depth will make the photos more interesting to those viewing them, and viewers will be better able to imagine themselves in the setting.
Before photographing a wedding, try taking some unusual pictures of the setup, like a flower, or a makeup bag. You might be able to capture some very special moments in the meantime.
Exercise patience with setting up your subject into the right pose. Quite often family event photos appear less than desired as candid photos have taken preference over posed shots. This gives you a better shot at getting a good picture of everyone.
No doubt about it, to become a good photographer, it's necessary to do some research and get in quite a bit of practice. Some of these tips will instantly improve your shots; however, others will require you to practice hard before progress can be seen. Just remember to keep an element of fun in your photography hobby. If you lose this, pictures will start to feel like they aren't worth taking at all. Keep the above tips close by to become a more successful photographer.
Although your camera can take horizontal shots, you shouldn't completely rely on this feature. Vertical shots can produce some excellent looking photographs. Zoom in if necessary to get a full effect, or zoom out to capture human subjects from head to toe.

1st Post Rant
by ashleyashes
I find myself watching Awkward. on MTV–show I've recorded to instead watch a previous recording because TV show producers love putting my favorite shows on at the same time–and I get inspired to yet again, initiate an attempt at online blogging. All bullshitting aside, I've tried and failed at these, both online and in writing. Although I never end up staying focussed on them, I always seem to have a new interest from time to time in making a new one. So here it is. After xanga, blogger, tumblr, livejournal, etc. But I have decided to create one at WordPress after doing a bit of research and coming to the conclusion that its the best blogging platform out there.
Anyway, after deciding on creating a new blog I put the thought aside and continue to pay attention to the program. Here's the deal; Jenna, the protagonist, manages to get herself in the most completely random and awkward situations she can get into. She breaks her arm in what people think is an attempt at suicide, she participates in a public activity that puts her even more into the spot light, someone takes a nude picture of her and mass texts it to everyone in school. So, to get down to it, Jenna is having a hard time fitting in in High School. But, oh yes, there is a but. There is a boy. Oh yes, I said it, a boy. Jenna and this boy, Manny, did the dirty at camp, but he doesn't want anyone to know about it. Of course, Manny is the hottest, most wanted guy in school. Of course. So he and Jenna do a little eye-flirting and whatnot, keeping their distance but obviously there is chemistry. After Jenna gets her cast off, and she thinks the spotlight is no longer on her, the nude picture spreads like wildfire. After failed attempts at trying to blow the whole thing over, Jenna says on her status that she wishes she had a hero to go save her. Immediately, my interest in the show hits rock bottom–I know whats going to happen next.
Sure enough, like clockwork, Manny shows up at the door that leads from Jenna's room to the backyard (how convenient) to swoop in and rescue her. Oh my goodness! I can't believe he actually did it! … Thanks a lot MTV, I get to watch another show with characters that are based off original Disney classics. Whats even better is when the characters themselves like to reference fairy-tale stories like Cinderella and Snow White. Then, all of a sudden, their lives are modern-takes on the lucky girls themselves. Oh how ironic.
Sure, I probably sound like a girl whose been dumped a lot, or hasn't gotten dumped for the simple fact that she hasn't been in a relationship (not going to tell you which, since its unbearably pathetic–you could probably guess all on your own), but this opinion may be true for just about anyone who has experienced heartbreak, turned on the TV and there it was, someone's dreams magically coming true. I bet there are loads of people out there with their own fairy tale stories to tell their friends and families, but I will honestly say that this is what causes me to be so bitter in the first place.
Fairy tales are fictional stories about magical and imaginary beings and lands. Admittedly, there are many definitions you could give it, but the basis of it stands at this: Its fiction. Fiction isn't real. Fairy tales aren't supposed to be real. So when people have real life, magical stories to tell, I am the selfish one, who deep down underneath all the happiness I feels for the story teller, wishes that it was me. I want to have a true magical story, but I don't. And the bitterness and pessimism I retain lead me to the conclusion that I will never have one to tell.
I want to be a psychology major. I've taken an intro class, I've read some books. I've done self reflecting and all that jazz. I know I'm not a doctor, and everything I assume could very well be complete bullshit. Now and then, I tend to psychoanalyze myself. And it pisses me off because it tends to show the weakness in me, and who likes to see that? Especially when you're doing it to yourself. Anyway, this leads me into the idea that the reason I'm so bitter and pessimistic is because I want to believe there is a story out there for me, but I'm too much of a pussy to have hope just in case it actually doesn't happen for me, and I don't fall on my ass.
So in short, I say things won't happen even though I believe they might because I'm afraid they won't happen for me. Isn't that on of the most pathetic and selfish things ever? Which then leads to the Awkward. senario. I was bothered with this episode because Ms. Awks got Mr. Hottie. I though it was cute when "the geek got the girl," but relating it the other way around, makes me want to puke up my dinner and hurl chunks at the screen.
To make things more complicated, I actually do like the sappy shit on TV, in movies, books. It takes me away from my own world, but once the shows over, the movie ends, and the book comes to a close, there is a bridge from that story to my life. And its on that bridge back to reality where the rambling content originates.

Kevin Bridges has passed his driving test first time - 12 years after taking his first lesson.
The Scottish comedian was chuffed about sailing through his practical test on Friday after taking a three-week block of lessons.
The Clydebank funny man, 31, aced the test thanks to the very same instructor who first gave him lessons when he was 18-years-old.
Instructor Tony Clarke, from Clydebank, posted a snap of a proud Bridges showing off his certificate outside the Anniesland test centre.
Clarke wrote: "Congratulations @kevinbridges86 on passing your driving test first time like a boss :) Brilliant guy to teach."
Bridges replied, saying: "Top coach. A sad day for Uber. Yas."
Bridges' newfound driving skills may come in handy later this year when he sets off on a UK-wide tour, which includes six nights at Glasgow 's SSE Hydro and a four-night stint at the Edinburgh Playhouse.

HeatSeal® Reliability – ESD Test
Gasoline Test Chemical Test Temperature Test ESD Test
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
ESD is the rapid, spontaneous transfer of electrostatic charge induced by a high electrostatic field. Usually, the charge flows through a spark (an ESD event) between two bodies at different electrostatic potentials as they approach one another. In a membrane switch application, ESD events can be facilitated by the construction of the switch and the
materials used in the switch construction.
Standard Membrane Construction
In membrane switches, most ESD events are surface events: where the ESD potential runs along the surface of the switch seeking out a place to organize and discharge. Typically, in switches built with pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA), the ESD wraps around the edge of the switch and passes directly through the PSA to find an active circuit with an opposite electrical potential.
The graphic overlay and top circuit layer are made with polyester film, which has a dielectric strength of 3000 volts per mil. With a 7 mil graphic, there is 21Kv of dielectric withstand making it is easier for the ESD charge to move along the surface than to punch through the material. Once the ESD event moves to the edge of the part the ESD finds virtually no resistance to move through the PSA layer to find circuitry of an opposite electrical potential enabling the rapid discharge.
Historically, membrane switch companies and end users have overcome this problem by incorporating an ESD shield on the top surface of the top circuit. This additional shield layer acts as an antenna to grab the ESD event and move the discharge voltage safely to an isolated electrical ground, away from the sensitive electronic components.
The weak link for ESD events in membrane switches is the PSA material. Pressure sensitive adhesive provides its entire adhesive properties through mechanical bonding. When PSA's are manufactured the surface is rough to provide the maximum amount of mechanical bonding sites available for any surface encountered. This creates a microscopic network of fissures throughout the adhesive that allows for the passing of ESD events. The second issue with PSA material is the lack of dielectric strength, the dielectric withstands for PSA is estimated to be below 100 volts per mil. Even if the microscopic fissures were not present, the distance from the edge of the part to the first circuit trace would need to exceed .150″ just to provide a minimum of 15Kv withstand protection. In some applications, there is not a room available for adequate spacing.
How do GGI HeatSeal® Switches withstand ESD events?
GGI HeatSeal® is a proprietary polyester resin system specifically designed to protect the electrical integrity of membrane switch circuitry from attacks by ESD, thermal stress, solvent exposure, and pressure changes. The chemical and physical nature of HeatSeal® is based upon the same resin structure used in the polyester substrates used for membrane switch circuits. When GGI HeatSeals the switch assembly together, the adhesive interface is created with both mechanical and chemical bonding of the materials leaving no air tracks, no microscopic fissures or any ingression points to the circuitry.
The base polyester resin used in HeatSeal® has a dielectric withstand of 900 volts per mil. At a minimum the dielectric withstands of HeatSeal® is nine times greater than the breakdown voltage of PSA. When an electro-statically charged object approaches a GGI HeatSeal® switch the charge seeks out an oppositely charged source, but the dielectric protection provided by HeatSeal® will not allow the electrical potential to organize and dissipate in an ESD event.
The cross-sectional ESD withstands for a HeatSeal® switch with traces within .150″ of the edge is 135kV…9 times stronger than a similarly constructed PSA switch.

Video Description
New Delhi, Dec 13 (ANI): Streets of the West Bank and Jerusalem are engulfed by fury as thousands of Palestinians staged protest against United States President Donald Trump's recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital. Hundreds of protestors were wounded by Israeli Army fire, while military claimed that two rockets were launched at Israel from Gaza. Leader of Islamist group Hamas has asked Palestinians to abandon peace efforts and launch an uprising against Israel. Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu said many nations will follow the U.S.'s lead. But Trump cuts a lonely figure over his decision on the world stage. Warnings have come from across the world, including major allies like France, Germany and Great Britain. The Saudi Royal Court has also issued a statement warning of 'dangerous consequences'. Turkey's President Tayyip Erdogan accused Trump of throwing the region in to a 'ring of fire' - saying the decision disregards a 1980 UN resolution regarding the status of the city. Palestinians removed Trump's mural on West Bank barrier in protest. Israel saw the contested city as its undivided capital; the Palestinians claim the east as theirs. Trump, however, remains committed to the two-state solution if the parties want one. The UN Security Council will meet on Friday to discuss Trump's latest move.

To Cloud or not to Cloud, that is the question
Recently there have been a number of tweets on Cloud adoption by small to medium enterprises. Most notably
@Think_Tech "It is being said rather a lot so worth looking into: Benefits of cloud computing for SMEs – http://ow.ly/cEUjV #cloud #sme #smb"
@ComputerWeekly "SMEs driving $2.3bn cloud industry growth: http://ow.ly/cYUBl"
So why exactly are SME's jumping on the cloud?
Why Small & Medium?
This isn't required reading but, as always, the BOFH offers insight that the rest of us just think but would never voice publicly. The biggest barrier to any move to the Cloud may well be the IT department of any organisation. Whether it is fear of system failures that they no longer control or more likely fear that their long term future with the company may be put in jeopardy, IT staff will have a litany of reasons ready to offer business management as to why they most definitely should NOT move to the Cloud. This is key, an SME will have a small or even non-existant IT department. It may be completely out-sourced to a local service provider.
A recent survey conducted by InfoWorld with 4000 respondents in 7 countries revealed that half had sensitive information in the Cloud. So clearly security is not the concern that prevents organisations moving. Security may have been a concern but as more and more organisations move to Cloud solutions, security has become more robust driven by the requirements of those organisations.
The single biggest reason currently for organisations is the fear of outages. Surely SME's would suffer as much if not more from any unplanned outage? Not necessarily, it depends on the nature of the outage and the nature of the business. Some SME's can continue to function for hours if not days without IT services. I spoke to one organisation who had an email server failure that left them without email for a full week. While it was an inconvenience it certainly did not shut the business down. Now try to imagine a large organisation and how they would react to a lack of email. It is a poor example as I know email is not as important as people think but it is useful to illustrate the point.
SME's tend to be more adaptive and reactive. If there is a problem they work around it or fix it. The reason is they have to. There will be no paycheck at the end of the week or month if the business doesn't continue to function.
Taking all of this into account you can quickly see why Cloud is attractive. IT support will be deemed a major overhead and let's face it a right royal pain in the posterior. Moving all of your IT function into the cloud reduces it to a simple SLA management exercise. Your IT is either up or down. There is no gray area.
To an organisation that is facing increasing pressure on precious resources who wants to free itself of the distraction of modern technology, Cloud may just be the answer.

A/B testing is the practice of changing two variants in online advertising in an attempt to maximise conversions and gain more sales. It's something companies do regularly. There's a right way and a wrong way to perform an A/B test, though. If you aren't maximising your conversions, you're doing it wrong.
Blogger and developer Matt Gemmell has gazed into the dark side of of search engine optimisation (SEO), and while he understands the value of having your personal site, your blog or your company's website rank well in search results, he's not willing to sell his soul to do it. Instead, he's written a simple guide to SEO for the less cut-throat.
Everyone and their dog has an opinion on how to perform "search-engine optimisation" (SEO) and make your online business more visible in major search engines; how do you distinguish the potentially useful tactics from the snake oil salesmen? The simple answer: put your energy into building a quality site rather than worrying about the search impact of what you have done.
Although Google's indexing methodology is now much more sophisticated than merely tracking link referrals, creating inbound links to a site remains a popular tactic -- and one that's increasingly exploited by unscrupulous site promoters who use hacking techniques potentially add invisible links to their sites onto other legitimate pages. Not only does that give bogus operators higher rankings more traffic, it can also affect your own site's visibility, since Google and other spiders often rank sites lower if they appear to be designed to game search rankings.Blogger Patrick Altoft suggests a neat trick to track possible intrusions of this kind on your own site: using Google Alerts to track the addition of spurious terms to your site. This isn't a perfect approach, and you'll need to deal with any security vulnerabilities that make such code injection possible in the first place, but it's a neat way to detect obvious attacks.How to use Google Alerts to find out if your site gets hacked
HubSpot's Website Grader is a web-based tool which analyses and scores your website against a number of criteria, and provides you with a report card flagging areas you may wish to improve. By filling out a web form which asks for your URL, keywords related to your blog and optionally any websites you compete against, it generates a report on your site. You need to supply an email address as it mails the link to you.The score it generates grades your website against a number of things including website traffic, search engine optimisation, social
popularity (via social bookmarking and sites like Digg) and a wide range of other factors. It also provides some very basic
advice on how you can improve your website's performance.One thing which tickled me is that it rated Lifehacker's readability as "advanced/doctoral" level. I had no idea we were so rarified! I'd better duck back to uni and get that PhD. :)What's Your Website Score?
Two years ago, we introduced website owners to the art of SEO with some basic tips and tricks.
Job hunters should choose their words carefully on their resume, says the blogger at The Life of an Internet Entrepreneur: Just like there are ways of getting data on popular search words on Google, we can look at the most popular keyword searches by recruiters on job sites, and learn from that. Marc Cenedella, of TheLadders.com, a recruiting site that specializes in jobs paying $100,000 or more, wondered the same thing and developed a list of the 100 most-searched for terms by recruiters on the site. Those words include "sales," "project manager," "software," "developer," and "marketing." (It's constantly updated, so it's worth a bookmark.) Including those words on your resume (when they apply, even loosely) will make you turn up in recruiter searches more often. See more about how you can have a say in what Google says about you.

New Hong Kong string quartet shines in eclectic show
Ensemble named after Romer's tree frog presents classical and contemporary works
The city's first homegrown string quartet has shown as much resilience and energy as its name suggests.
The Romer String Quartet, name after Romer's tree frogs from the Lantau habitat, chose an eclectic programme of classical and contemporary works for their first concert presented by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department.
The four local-born musicians, who are members of the Hong Kong Sinfonietta, showcased superb balance and sensitivity in delivering various styles of the string quartet genre, including a recent work by a living composer.
The concert opened with Haydn's string quartet in F, titled The Dream. The light texture of this rarely-performed work suited the group's unsophisticated sound quality. The two violins of Kitty Cheung and Kiann Chow sang in nice harmony in the opening duet, and were joined by the lower strings, Ringo Chan on viola and Eric Yip on cello. There was good humour in the Minuet, and the finale was cheerful in the music-making.
The tone quality changed remarkably in Ravel's only string quartet and the effort was less convincing in bringing out the atmospheric trait of French impressionism. The dry acoustics of the hall did not help the pizzicato passage imitating the Javanese gamelan sound in the second movement, but the melody played by the first violin came through especially well in the second appearance. Despite the cello's poor start in the slow movement, the energetic finale turned the work into a tour de force.
The same biting intensity continued with Beethoven's Serioso string quartet in the opening bars in the first and third movements. The four players, at an average age of 29, maintained the energy throughout, including a dash in the coda to end the piece.
But the best was saved for last with the Polish Suite by Maciej Małecki. The Asian premiere of this listener-friendly work, dated 2007, was made possible through Cheung who obtained the music scores from her senior alumni from the Eastman School of Music. Beautiful folk melodies and witty rhythms were abundant in all four movements, a most welcome addition to the quartet genre.

Race-specific Bio-weapon Similar to SARS in the Making
Though the world has stopped discussing about the SARS disease these days, it is still a horrible memory. Many have died of this horrible disease and the latest news suggests that a disease similar to SARS is likely to be used as a bio-weapon.
The most significant fact about this is that the disease will be race specific; yes, only a particular race will be affected and it makes this disease the number one bio-weapon in its class.
The whole thing started when WHO released an alert to doctors concerning a new SARS virus that appears to be race-specific; attacking individuals of only the Arab descent.
A man from Saudi Arabia who was diagnosed with pneumonia and acute renal failure and another from Qatar had their DNA sequenced. It was discovered that the virus that killed both men were the same.
However, to distract the public, Gregory Hartl, WHO spokesperson is claiming that the two men contracted the new SARS from animals. There is no proof that the new SARS is contagious or spread from human-to-human.
The new SARS causes kidney failure which is not indicative of a respiratory virus such as coronaviruses like the original SARS. WHO is calling for doctors to assist in the definition of this new virus and investigate patients that display symptoms of acute respiratory syndrome.
Is this disease a bioweapon? No one can neglect that possibility. In October 2003, Tong Zeng, a Chinese lawyer published a book that speculated that SARS could be a biological weapon developed by the United States against China.
In the book, Tong disclosed that in the 1990s, many American research groups collected thousands of blood and DNA samples and specimens of mainland Chinese (including 5000 DNA samples from twins) through numerous joint research projects carried out in China.
These samples were then sent back to the United States for further research, and could be used in developing biological weapons targeting Chinese people.

Hey, how's your Wednesday going? Just okay? Well, pay your troubles no mind — your life is about to improve drastically with the help of some tiny spotted felines. That's right: The world just got a little more cheetah-rific thanks to these two adorable cubs.
The cubs were born on September 1 at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park's cheetah breeding facility. They will be hand-reared by the staff, who have already reported that the wee ones are flourishing. "They are great eaters. They started playing when they were just three or four days old," said lead keeper Eileen Neff via the zoo's Flickr account. "They could barely walk at that time, so it was pretty interesting seeing them tumbling around with each other."
In case the vision of baby cheetahs tumbling around with one another didn't provide the necessary dose of cuteness to get you through hump day, get ready to actually explode with adorableness. The cheetahs are going to be "animal ambassadors," which means they'll each be paired with a dog friend.
Yes, all cubs at Safari Park are given a canine for companionship. "The dog's body language communicates to the cheetah that there's nothing to fear in new or public surroundings, which relaxes and calms the cheetah," reads the zoo's statement.
If this doesn't get turned into Homeward Bound: The Incredible Cheetah Safari Adventure, we have no words for you, Hollywood. NO WORDS. (San Diego Zoo)

Need an O-ring for low temperature applications? Viton V91A can help!
V91A is the first low-temperature, explosive decompression resistant, viton o-ring material of its kind that is cable of retaining its elastomeric properties at temperatures as low as -51°F (-46°C). This revolutionary viton o-ring material allows engineers to extend the effective limit of their equipment in low temperture applications where vition o-rings are required due to the chemical environment. Low temperature performance of viton o-rings is becoming more important with the commercialization of oil fields in cold locations, such as in Alaska, the North Sea and Russia. Traditionally, viton o-rings have not been recommended for low temperature dynamic applications below -22°F (-30°C). This is due to the Glass Transition Temperature (Tg) of most low temperature ED resistant viton elastomer formulations. See this and more viton products on our viton o-rings page.
Seal & Design has recently updated our viton gasket and viton o-ring pages on our website to include the majority of compounds currently available in the market place. Our goal is to become a one-stop shop for information about Viton O-Rings, Viton Gaskets, and Viton Compounds. We have included PDF's for each Viton elastomer so the physical properties can be viewed, and downloaded at your convenience.
|Viton O-Rings
We've redesigned the Viton O-Ring page to make it easier to find information on different Viton products. You can also download PDFs for each Viton product.
Check out the new Viton O-Ring page now!
|On our viton gasket pages we have included Viton A,Viton B,Viton F, and Viton Extreme. Will also added Viton Sponge and Viton diaphragm sections.
Let us know if what you think in the comments below or if you think we could improve our pages. We're always looking for ways to help our customers get the information they need to make informed decisions about which o-ring, gasket, or seal would work best for their particular application.
Seal & Design is excited to announce its latest equipment acquisition: Another state-of-the-art Inspection Machine.
This piece of equipment adds to Seal and Design's existing quality arsenal of high end inspection equipment. This equipment allows for the rapid, automated, inspection of o-rings and other molded rubber and plastic products.
Standard inspection machines can only inspect round parts. Our new equipment can inspect virtually any shape. The cameras in this vision system can check concentricity, ovality, and flash, as well as looking for inclusions and other defects. A laser check can also inspect for planarity and thickness. Molded o-rings and seals are then sorted into distinct compartments and a full statistical analysis is generated.
Seal & Design has the capability of 100% inspect of almost any molded seal. This is often required in automotive or aerospace applications, where dimensional certification is required. Visit our website to learn more about Seal & Design's capabilities at www.sealanddesign.com.

|L-R; Dark Side of the Mood, Romantically Involved, Cement the Deal, Embrace the Gray, My Silk Tie and Shine for Me.
Fifty Shades of Grey is a little bit like Marmite, you either love it or hate it. It's not for everyone, but you can't deny it's popularity, which is why O.P.I have teamed up to bring you this limited edition Fifty Shades of Grey nail polish collection. The shades are inspired by the book, and soon to be film - out 13th of February. For me, personally, I'm a huge lover. I've expressed why I love the book on a number of occasions, and it's nothing to do with the seedy sex scenes in the book. The book does have a story - which, some people seem to not agree with - if you look past the sexual activity you can see there's much more to it. What Christian has been through. Why he's like he his. It's a beautiful love story and I for one am looking forward to the film. The O.P.I collection is a beautiful selection of creamy greys; Chrome, glitter and a gorgeous red thrown in to the mix.
|Dark side of the mood isn't this dark in real life. Due to poor lighting I had no choice but to use flash which ended up being a little harsh on this particular shade.
I found the formula to be a little hit and miss on some of the shades, with some being a little prone to streaks, especially the light greys. I found the shades needed to have 2 even 3 coats at times. It's not the most exciting collection ever due to the lack of colour involved - I personally love the shades. My Silk Tie and Shine for me are definitely my favourites. I chose to layer shine for me on top of the lighter greys to jazz it up a little.
I picked up the mini collection of six 3.75ml polishes for just over £15.00. You can get the bigger bottles for £11.95 each.

A fresh plan to tackle malaria in Africa is underway courtesy the African Commission on Nuclear Energy (AFCONE).
The commission,according to its Chairperson,Ambassador Abdulsalam Minty,will deploy nuclear radiation on mosquitoes to combat malaria in the continent.
Briefing reporters at the end of the commission's Third Conference in Addis Ababa,Minty said AFCONE would be collaborating with the World Health Organisation (WHO) and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to conduct researches to evolve a nuclear radiation mechanism on mosquitoes to curb the spread of Malaria.
The success recorded by Southern African region in eradicating Tse-tse Fly,he stressed, would be applied to mosquitoes to eradicate Malaria.
Minty said that after the research, the commission would source for finance to put the research result into use to urgently tackle the scourge of malaria on the continent.
He stressed the need for more efforts by African nations to use technology for development and faster growth in the areas of agriculture, science, health and other economic sectors. The AFCONE chairperson said "the use of nuclear technology will assist the continent in jumping some steps in our development and industrialisation effort.''
The Third Conference of States Parties to the African Nuclear-Weapon-Free Zone Treaty, also known as the Treaty of Pelindaba concluded its two-day meeting with a call for commitment to use nuclear technology to enhance development in Africa. The Conference was attended by parties to the Treaty of Pelindaba and to its Protocols, as well as by relevant regional and international organisations.
Some of the participants included the IAEA, the Preparatory Commission of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organisation (CTBTO) and the Forum for Nuclear Regulatory Bodies in Africa (FNRBA).
The Conference reviewed the activities of AFCONE, including the implementation of its programme of work and its budget. It also deliberated on the operational status of the AFCONE Secretariat established by AU, which is based in South Africa.
The African Nuclear-Weapon-Free Zone Treaty (Treaty of Pelindaba) was adopted at the 31st Ordinary Session of the Organisation of African Unity (OAU), held in Addis Ababa between June 26 and June 28, 1995. It was signed in Cairo on April 11, 1996. The Treaty however entered into force on July 15, 2009.
Currently, there are 38 States Parties to the Treaty of Pelindaba, including Algeria, Benin, Botswana, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cameroon, Chad, Côte d'Ivoire, Comoros, Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Ethiopia, Gabon, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea-Bissau, Guinea and Kenya.
Others are Libya, Lesotho, Madagascar, Mali, Malawi, Mozambique, Mauritania, Mauritius, Namibia, Nigeria, Rwanda, the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic, Senegal, South Africa, Swaziland, Tanzania, Togo, Tunisia, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
Available information obtained by NAN shows that Angola, Central African Republic, Cape Verde, Djibouti, Democratic Republic of Congo, Egypt, Eritrea, Liberia, Morocco, Niger, Seychelles, Sierra Leone, Somalia, Sao Tome & Principe, Sudan and Uganda have signed but have yet to ratify the Treaty.
The Treaty requires States Parties to renounce nuclear explosive devices, particularly to refrain from conducting research, developing, manufacturing and stockpiling.
So far, South Africa is the most advanced African country in nuclear technology, with Algeria and Egypt following.

"And there arose on that day a great persecution against the church in Jerusalem, and they were all scattered throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles." – Acts 8:1
I have heard it said that God caused the church to be scattered so that the gospel would be spread throughout the world.
Is that true?
Did God cause the scattering of the church?
I will grant you that when the church was scattered that that the gospel was preached outside of Jerusalem.
"Now those who were scattered went about preaching the word." – Acts 8:4
"Now those who were scattered because of the persecution that arose over Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia and Cyprus and Antioch, speaking the word to no one except Jews." – Acts 11:19
But, my question is not did God bring good out of the scattering of the church.
My question is did God cause the scattering of the church?
How we answer this question says a lot about our view of God. If we say that God caused the scattering of the church, then we believe that God does both good and evil to bring about his purposes. However, if we say that God did not cause the scattering of the church, then we believe that God does good and only good to bring about his purposes.
And, while we are focused on the scattering of the church and the cause of it, this idea can be applied to any evil or wicked thing that happens where good comes out of it. Does God cause the evil or wicked thing only to bring about something good? Or, does God only cause the good to be brought of the evil or wicked thing being done?
Our text in question says the scattering because "there arose on that day a great persecution against the church." Acts 11:19 says that the scattering was "because of the persecution that arose over Stephen."
Who persecuted Stephen?
"Then some of those who belonged to the synagogue of the Freedmen (as it was called), and of the Cyrenians, and of the Alexandrians, and of those from Cilicia and Asia, rose up and disputed with Stephen." – Acts 6:9
"Then they secretly instigated men who said, 'We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses and God.' And they stirred up the people and the elders and the scribes, and they came upon him and seized him and brought him before the council." – Acts 6:11-12
So, the people (the Jews), the elders, and the scribes were Stephen's persecutors. They brought him to the high priest. They provided false witnesses to convict Stephen unjustly.
Stephen said, "You stiff-necked people, uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always resist the Holy Spirit. As your fathers did so do you. Which if the prophets did your fathers not persecute? And they killed those who announced beforehand the coming the Righteous One, whom you have now betrayed and murdered." – Acts 7:51-52
Therefore, the people (the Jews), the elders, and the scribes threw stones to kill Stephen.
Was God animating and motivating the persecutors to do these things?
Did God cause Stephen's persecution?
Stephen had just given a long speech about how God was working throughout the history of Israel. But, the Jews, the elders, and the scribes could not hear him. In fact, they were enraged at his words.
So, in this we see the very words of Jesus. In John 8:43-44, Jesus said, Why do you not understand what I say? It is because you cannot bear to hear my word. You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father's desire. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is not truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies."
Therefore, who was the instigator of the persecution of Stephen?
Satan – the father of lies and a murderer from the beginning.
Where was God in all of this?
"But he [Stephen], full of the Holy Spirit, gazed into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God. And he said, 'Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.' And as they were stoning Stephen, he called out, 'Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.'" – Acts 7:55-56, 59
God was in Stephen. God was revealing his glory to Stephen. God was receiving Stephen's spirit.
It was the persecutors that caused the scattering of the church. They were motivated by the devil. But, God was not in the persecutors.
God was in Stephen. Just like he was in Jesus on the cross.
There is a key portion of Acts 8:1 that I have left out to this point.
"And Saul approved of his execution."
Saul was right there in the midst of those executing Stephen. He was one of the Jews, elders, and scribes that had convicted Stephen. But, Saul did more than merely approve or consent to the execution. The Greek words has the idea that Saul felt a sense of gratification because Stephen was executed.
So, Acts 9:1-2 says, "But Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest and asked him for letters to the synagogues at Damascus, so that if he found any belonging to the Way, men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem."
When I read, and I believe others do to, that Saul was breathing threats and murder against the disciples I think of the threats and murder as things Saul was spewing out. These were things coming out of Saul. But, that is not what the text is saying.
The Greek word for breathing is empneo. It literally means to breathe in, to inhale. Figuratively, it means to be animated by, to be inspired by. What the text is really saying is that Saul was breathing in, being animated by, threats and murder against the disciples.
Saul approved of and felt gratified by the murder of Stephen. And, from that day, Saul continued the persecution. He breathed in and was animated by threats, or fear, of punishment (the Greek word implies this) and murder.
Who was animating Saul?
Who was breathing out so that Saul could breathe in?
Just like Jesus said in John 8, Satan was Saul's father at this time. We could say that Saul was the image of his God. Because his god, Satan, lied, accused and threatened, and murdered, Saul did the same things. Satan was breathing these things into Saul.
Notice what in says in Revelation 13:15. "And it was allowed to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast might even speak and might cause those who would not worship the image of the beast to be slain." Satan gives breath to the image of the beast. And, the image of the beast threatens and kills those who will not worship its god.
As Saul continued the persecution of the church, which brought about the scattering of the church, where was God?
"Now as he {Saul] went on his way, he approached Damascus, and suddenly a light from heaven shone around him." – Acts 9:3
Saul was on his way, persecuting and scattering the church. And, he was blinded by a light, Jesus.
"The true light, which gives light to everyone, was coming into the world." – John 1:9
"I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." – John 8:12
"In him was life, and the life was the light of men." – John 1:4
"This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all." – 1 John 1:5
God was not the cause of Saul walking in darkness, persecuting and scattering the church.
Rather, Jesus was shining his light of life on Saul. Jesus' light was driving out the darkness, the threats of punishment and murder, that Saul breathed in from Satan.
"God is love…There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love." – 1 John 4:16, 18
God was loving Saul, who was God's enemy. God's perfect love was driving the fear out of Saul. Saul's fear was motivating him to threaten others with punishment. For whenever you threaten others with punishment, particularly eternal punishment, you are being motivated by Satan. You are breathing in Satan's desires just like Saul.
What was God doing?
He was reconciling Saul to himself.
Remember, the Holy Spirit was in Stephen. Stephen saw God's glory as he was being stoned to death. Jesus was receiving Stephen's spirit. Saul was there to witness all of it.
Just read what Paul went on to write as a result of what the light of Christ revealed to him about where God was in the persecution of Stephen that caused the scattering of the church.
"For if while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life." – Romans 5:10
"For he himself is our peace, who has made us both one and has broken down in his flesh the dividing wall of hostility by abolishing the law of commandments expressed in ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man in place of the two, so making peace, and might reconcile us both to God in one body through the cross, thereby killing the hostility." – Ephesians 2:15-16
"All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation; that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation. Therefore, we are ambassadors of Christ, God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God." – 2 Corinthians 5:18-20
God does not cause the scattering of his church or people.
God is reconciling the world to himself.
In other words, God is not scattering but gathering people to him.
In John 12:30, Jesus said, "Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters." Jesus gathers. God gathers. His enemies scatter.
In John 10:11-12, Jesus said, "I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. He who is a hired hand and not a shepherd, who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leave the sheep and flees, and the wolf snatches them up and scatters them." Jesus, the good shepherd, gathers his sheep. The wolf, Satan, scatters them."
In Matthew 23:37, Jesus said, "O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to it! How often would I have gathered your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you were not willing!"
In Matthew 26:31, Jesus said, "You will all fall away because of me this night. For it is written, 'I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.'" When Satan struck Jesus on the cross, the disciples were scattered. But, from his resurrection on, Jesus was gathering, never scattering his disciples.
So, if God and Jesus only gather, then what are we to make of the scattering of the church that led those scattered to preach the gospel around the world?
God did not cause the scattering, evil and wicked work of Satan. But, God turned it into good.
Genesis 50:20 says, "As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring it about that many people should be kept alive, as they are today." Joseph said this to his brothers regarding their selling him into slavery. Joseph's brothers, not God, were doing evil. God was doing good.
Or, as Paul says in Romans 8:28, "And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to this purpose." The verse more literally says, "And we know that for those who love God all things work together into good."
God is not doing or causing evil so that he can later bring about good. That would mean that God has darkness in him. But, God is light and there is no darkness at all in him. Rather, God is working everything into good. God only does good.
Therefore, God is never scattering his church.
God is always gathering, reconciling, people to him.

Boxing is a notable subgenre of the sports movie and has been the subject of a number of films from The Champ (1931 and 1979), Rocky (1976) to the critical adoration of Martin Scorsese 's Raging Bull (1980). Films from the Far East also make for compelling viewing, such as the anime Ashita no Joe (1970 – 1981) and under-rated Korean drama Crying Fist (2005). But of all the boxing movies out there, it is Tokyo Fist (1995) that packs the biggest punch. This is pugilism, with additional body pulverising and body piercing, as a relationship drama which has an intensity and – at times – graphic insanity that is captivating, thrilling, shocking and quite unlike any other film you are likely to see.
Tsuda Yoshiharu (Shinya Tsukamoto) is a salaryman whose life is perhaps a touch dull. He lives with his partner Hizuru (Kaori Fujii) in a Tokyo apartment and tries to maintain a respectable life/work balance. But his world is turned upside down when his former friend Kojima (Kôji Tsukamoto) reconnects with him. Kojima is a boxer and he immediately takes a fancy to Hizuru; trying to seduce her, although she rejects his advances, at least initially. Hizuru is frustrated with her life and is trying to change things. Tsuda has to come to terms with his partner's increasing desire to modify her body with tattoos and piercings, and an increasing fascination with boxing – prompted by Kojima. Friends or rivals? Their pasts – and futures – are likely to be deeper and more disturbing than many would appreciate.
Tokyo Fist is a wonderful example of what personal determination matched with a frenzied imagination can achieve. This is not to say that Tokyo Fist is a film for everybody – it is intense, brutal, graphic and uncompromising. It is a film which, despite its limited budget, nevertheless instigates a post production combination of energetically compelling score combined with blistering editing to achieve a frantic, dynamic aesthetic. Tsukamoto draws the audience into the narrative from the very title sequence with a series of ferocious edits that don't simply rely on single shot cuts but also upon the dynamism of the camera movement. This is a graphic and violent portrayal of person on person violence; Tsukamoto depicts the boxing ring as taunting crowds seeking bloodshed even after the viewer has seen results of such activities. Right from the opening credits blood is not just spilled but spurted, saturating the lens as well as the characters. And what characters Tsukamoto has created, addressing intense and complex relationships – Tsuda is actually sempai (senior friend, effectively a mentor) to Kojima but the younger man defies the respectful attitude that he should take towards his friend and establishes a bitter rivalry. Tsukamoto cast his younger brother as Kojima – Tsukamoto Kôji had experience as a boxing coach and helped his brother develop his fighting skills to get into the role. In the interview that accompanies this release Tsukamoto recalls the creation and development of the film from its inception to the practical necessities of making a films on a minimal budget, following the release internationally of Tetsuo II: Body Hammer (1992), his film following enjoyable genre horror fun of Hiruko The Goblin (1991)
So what makes Tokyo Fist such an essential movie? It is intrinsically cinematic in that it is edited, constructed and produced in a deeply filmic context, it is personal and yet confrontational and, above all, is utterly engaging. The effects and editing are exemplary and the boxing sequences are graphic, both in and out of the ring – noses gush torrents of blood, bruises glow with a purple intensity and the victims wince in pain. Relationships, violence and rehabilitation – with piercings and pain – are the primary themes within this film.
Quite literally an assault on the senses, Tokyo Fist is the single best ever sports movie, bar none. And that includes Raging Bull.

Annular Eclipse
For those who are interested and not already aware, today there is going to be an annular eclipse. In British Columbia, Canada (where I live) it will start sometime around 5:00pm and run to sometime before 7:00pm. (Check the exact times on various websites, or with a quick Google search, but since it depends on your exact location I haven't bothered giving precise times).
Most people probably already know what
a total eclipse is. When the moon is directly between our location on
Earth and the Sun, then the shadow of the moon darkens the day for a
span of time and everyone stares at it in amazement (which you should
never do since the Sun is really bright and will burn out your
But in this case, the moon is at its
furthest point away from the Earth, and so the Sun will not be
completely blocked. The moon is too small and too far from Earth to
actually cover the entire visible disc of the Sun. What will be seen
instead is a glowing ring around a dark center, sometimes referred
to as the "ring of fire".
It is worth a look if you are careful
not to blind yourself. I don't recall an annular eclipse being
visible locally for around twenty years or so, so this really is a
rare event. And if the weather clears up a bit, it could be a fun

2 WHISTLEBLOWERS ON THE CLINTON FOUNDATION FOUND DEAD – SUICIDE !Tuesday, July 18th, 2017
It just never ends when it comes to the Clintons! Media and Dems too busy investigating Trump Collusion with the Russians to be concerned about the death of these two men who were Clinton whistleblowers. Definitely not healthy to get on the wrong side of the Clilntons. Anyone remember Seth Rich, Vince Foster and countless others and how they mysteriously died ? Two articles below Nancy
Clinton Foundation's Haitian whistleblower found shot to death in Miami
A 50-year-old former Haitian government official who was expected to give sword testimony next week regarding suspected Clinton "Crime Family" Foundation corruption and malpractice, dead in Miami. Police officer Charles Duggan said the death was attributed to a single gunshot wound to the official's head.
Therefore, according to the coroner's report, Clinton associate Klaus Eberwein's death was ruled a suicide and his name is now added to the growing list of men and women who died under mysterious circumstances after "getting mixed-up with America's version of the Borgias," said Officer Duggan, who denied being assigned to the investigation.
The Borgias are the most infamous family of Renaissance Italy, and their history normally hinges around four key individuals: Pope Calixtus III, his nephew Pope Alexander IV, his son Cesare and daughter Lucrezia. Thanks to the actions of the middle pair, the family name is associated with greed, power, lust and murder. .
Hillary Clinton and Haitian official the late Klaus Eberwein. Eberwein met the same fate as a number of people who got involved with America's answer to the Borgias.
Before his death and still living in Haiti, Eberwein reportedly told acquaintances he was worried about retribution by members of the Clinton-wing of the Democratic Party. He said he feared for his life because of his damaging exposure of the Clinton Foundation.
