Spring has arrived in Central Park! Colors come alive again and parks are filled with many people enjoying the change of the season.
Why fashion models don't smile
Why female fashion models don't wear undergarments?
They wear thongs for hygiene, but why should they wear bras?
It has nothing to do with attracting viewers, because few if any models wear bras during runway shows ever,
and they are rarely on TV.
and they are rarely on TV.
klaustini Cocktail
There's only ONE Klaustini, all others are just cocktails!
It was created in New York which I named it after myself.
Whatever its actual origins, it's been seen at RUE57, mentioned by many people so far. Of course, the average martini cocktail glass is the 3 ounce variety instead of the 7 ounce found in most bars nowadays. Still, imagine trying to conduct business after downing 5 of our present day Martinis!
Stir, Don't Shake - With respect to Mr. Bond, a Martini really is best stirred. Stirring cocktails gives them a nice, even, silky texture, as opposed to shaking, which creates a murkier texture. Stirring also avoids diluting the drink too much and keeps it more concentrated. These are all ideal factors for stronger, spirit forward, sipping cocktails like the Martini, where the subtleties in the booze are the star of the show.
Klaustini Cocktail
3 secret ingredients
Cucumber slice, for garnish
Stir all the ingredients with ice and strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with the thin cucumber slice.
Stir all the ingredients with ice and strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with the thin cucumber slice.
Klaustini™ in three exciting flavors:
• Original (Cucumber)
• Lychee
• Framboise
There are only 94 calories in a 1.5 oz serving of 140 proof Klaustini™ Cocktail. A normal 1.5 oz serving of vodka contains 90 proof alcohol and has about 100 calories.

NYC Fashion Trends for Spring
Spring is in the air and it's deepening to summer but in New York, the crisp colors of spring are currently dominating the city. Based the latest trends showcased in New York Fashion week, there are plenty of wearable trends that can make way into your wardrobe this spring. The following are some of my favorites.
The Best Hairstyles to Try
New York's Fashion Week has been one of the best, featuring a lot of hairstyles and clothing styles that are easy to wear in everyday life. For me, New York style has always been the definition of edgy, upbeat and punk rock and it was definitely reflected in the Fashion Week style in 2017. Among the various styles, the following are some hairstyles I feel are among the best ones to try from the New York Fashion Week 2017.
Trend Alert: Bell sleeves are back
Hello 2017! They are currently seen all over the fashion- and blogosphere: The bell sleeves.; Bell Sleeves. Voluminous bell sleeves were seen on the runways at A/W16 Fashion Weeks and the trend also rolled over into S/S17 collections. The extra-flowy bell sleeve is going to be a huge trend this year and makes dressing up or down a little more exciting, whilst giving a nod to the much loved 70's trend.
In Spring Mood
Finally spring decided to visit New York City! This weekend the weather was absolutely amazing it was so warm, that it almost felt like warm June days. But well I won't complain about that, since for me it could be like this all the time. Now just let's hope it will last now for some days… weeks…or rather months haha…

Dave Makinson admits he was delighted to make his return at the weekend.
The Leyland skipper had missed several games due to a leg injury.
Makinson had been unsure when he would return to playing but surprisingly he took to the field in the winning draw against Fleetwood on Saturday and took three key wickets.
"It was great to be back," he said.
"I trained on Tuesday and it didn't feel that bad.
"I picked myself but I didn't think I'd be ready for Saturday.
"I trained again on the Thursday and it felt fine.
"I made sure I was careful in the field and I got through the game fine."
The game at Broadwater was an entertaining one for all the spectators.
More than 500 runs were scored and three players scored centuries.
Two were scored by Leyland's batsman, Lancashire's Luis Reece was out for 113 whilst overseas amateur Richardt Frenz finished unbeaten on 119.
Leyland and Fleetwood will lock horns again this Sunday as they battle it out for a place in the Readers Cup semi-final.
"Saturday was an excellent game of cricket to be involved in," Makinson added.
"Luis Reece and Richardt Frenz were superb.
"It was good to see Luis return to form and Richardt was out of this world.
"Our bye week has come at the wrong time again, but I'm glad we have a game on Sunday."
Sunday's cup tie with Fleetwood at Fox Lane starts at 2pm.

The most common finish for marble countertops is the high gloss polished finish. When done correctly this finish yeilds high level details in the reflection. Trees, leaves and clouds can be seen in the reflection when looking through a window. Extreme details in the lighting fistures over head show up in the reflection as well.
But not every counter gets the high gloss treatement. One reason is that imperfections such as scratches and chemical etches often manifest as dull spots in the finish so when imperfections show up they are glaring. To combat this and to make the surface slightly easier to maintain we often leave tops with a honed finish. Any finish that is less than a high gloss polish can be considered a hone. That said we often offer two options. Matte and Satin. The matte finish is dull with little of no reflection when looking straight down on the surface. Regardless of the finish there is always some reflection when looking at it from an angle. A Satin finish, when looking straight down, will yeild minor details in lighting fixutres and the dull glow of a light source.

Facts about Myanmar
Myanmar is holding closely watched by-elections today in which Nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi is standing for a seat in parliament for the first time.world Updated: Apr 01, 2012 09:03 IST
Myanmar is holding closely watched by-elections on Sunday in which Nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi is standing for a seat in parliament for the first time.
Following are some facts about the country:
Geography: The Republic of the Union of Myanmar, formerly known as Burma, is in Southeast Asia and borders Bangladesh and India to the west, China to the north and Laos and Thailand to the east.
Area: 676,552 square kilometres (270,620 square miles).
Population: 57.5 million (2008, official estimate), 62.4 million (2011, IMF estimate).
Ethnic groups: Burman (68%), several minorities including the Shan (9% in the east, the Karen (7%) in the southeast, the Mon in the south and the Kachin in the northeast.
Capital: The junta in 2005 moved to an administrative capital at Naypyidaw in the centre of the country, about 400 kilometres (250 miles) north of the former capital, Yangon.
Religion: Buddhist (89%), Christian (5%), Muslim (4%, Rohingya -- a Bengali minority), Hindu, animist (2%).
History: Following three Anglo-Burmese wars (1824-26, 1852 and 1885), Britain annexed Burma and made it a province of British India in 1886. Burma became a separate colony in 1937 but this ended with invasion by Japan in 1942.
After Japan's World War II defeat, the Union of Burma gained independence on January 4, 1948.
Government: Following a controversial 2010 election, Myanmar has a nominally civilian government but its ranks are filled with ex-generals including President Thein Sein, a former junta premier.
Economy: Despite rich natural resources (oil, gas, gold, rubies, teak, copper), almost one-third of the population lives below the poverty line, according to the World Bank.
Myanmar is also the world's second-largest producer of illicit opium, after Afghanistan.
The IMF predicts the economy will grow by about 5.5 percent in the fiscal year to March 2012, and 6.0 percent the following year, driven by commodity exports and higher investment.
GDP per capita: Estimated at $804 (IMF, 2011)
Total external debt: 8.2 billion dollars (2009, World Bank)
Currency: Kyat. Myanmar has announced plans to overhaul its complex exchange rate system to allow a managed flotation of its currency from April 1.
Armed forces: Up to about 400,000 personnel, according to Jane's Sentinel.
Rebels: The country has been plagued by insurgency in ethnic areas since independence. The new government has signed a series of tentative peace pacts with a number of rebel groups but continues to battle ethnic Kachin in the far north, with tens of thousands of civilians displaced by the conflict.

Over the weekend, a barren vacant block nestled amongst Koh Pich's rapid developments was overrun by a collection of some of the most extravagant looking motorcycles spotted this side of the Hell's Angels Oakland clubhouse.
The inaugural Phnom Penh Bike Week, hosted by the Cambodian Biker Club, saw a wild response from thousands of young locals and the participation of hard-core enthusiasts from as far afield as Vietnam, Thailand and Malaysia.
CBC Vice President Pily Wong attributes the event's success, despite the club only forming in the middle of last year, to the fraternal bond between the club's officials.
"People in the club are very nice. I've come to find a lot of friends and brothers in the club. I find it meaningful to participate in charity as well. In the time the club has existed, there's been 40 big events in that time. So we're very active," he said.
A number of eagerly watched, and occasionally bizarre events were dotted across the weekend, including a hamburger eating competition, a challenge to see which driver could ride between two points the slowest without falling, and a charity bike wash attended by models in hot pants and fluorescent wigs.
Proceeds from the two-day long event went to Operation Smile, a global charity that provides correction of cleft palates and other congenital facial deformities.
"We do believe in financially contributing to charity," says CBC founding member Sean Wong. "We've been especially supporting road safety campaigns ... In this country wearing a helmet is seen as an inconvenience, and we want to change that. Everyone who is a member of the club and everyone participating here today is required to wear a helmet."
After the sun went down on Saturday, a number of young rock bands from the region took the stage, performing a mix of local staples and Western covers to a swelling crowd of Phnom Penh's teens.
The show was briefly interrupted by the arrival of a convoy of 40 bikes, which had set off from Bangkok at six in the morning only to have their arrival delayed by inclement weather, and were now cutting a path through the venue to the base of the stage.
"Let's hear it for our Thai brothers!" an offstage MC cried, as the weary riders assembled on stage to soak up the applause of the audience and pump their fists in the air in a sign of defiant victory over the skies above.
Fraternal spirit on display
To those of a certain time and place, the idea of a motley collection of burly, Harley-riding men at a music concert will most likely conjure images of Altamont. Back in 1969, the Rolling Stones decided to hold a concert in this bucolic Californian town, and made a somewhat foolish decision to hire members of the Hell's Angels motorbike club to conduct the security.
The resulting violence later made Altamont a metaphor for the death of the freewheeling, optimistic spirit that characterised America in the '60s and turned motorcycle club members into objects of foreboding.
If Koh Pich's Bike Week is to be remembered in years to come it will rather be for the spirit of gentle fraternity said by Pily Wong to govern the Cambodian Biker Club's conduct, and the recognition that a growing number of people in the region view their motos as an object of affection rather than merely a mode of transport.
Both nights saw groups of Cambodian youth and curious Phnom Penhers winding through rows of high-powered, chrome-plated motorbikes, many of which looked like the only creature comfort they were missing was a DVD player on the dashboard.
Among the stallholders was the Southeast Asian chapter of the Legacy Vets Motorcycle Club. Despite the reputation of such clubs in the West, their president, Aquaman, welcomes any inquiries about his peers.
"We have very strict rules inside the club … One of them is family first, business second, club third," Aquaman says. "Every two weeks we take a trip to Kampong Thom or Kampot – our options are limited by the state of the roads – and every year we travel from Phnom Penh to Thailand."
As the name suggests, membership of the Legacy Vets is only open to those who have participated in some kind of military service. Despite this restriction, the club is expanding in the region and expects to badge two members based in the Philippines in the coming year.
While guarded about details of the club's operations, Aquaman states that members' bikes are a matter of personal preference, which seems unusual when spoken next to the unbroken line of Harleys parked outside the club's weekend residence.
"We require every member to have a bike that's a minimum of 600cc. Any brand is fine – but of course, we have a special fondness for the Harley Davidson!" he laughs.

Heads are rolling at Aston Villa. After a season in which the relief of surviving yet another relegation battle was punctured by a chastising FA Cup Final defeat to Arsenal, Tim Sherwood has set the club's revolving door in motion at Villa Park.
Darren Bent, Andreas Weimann, Matthew Lowton and Yacouba Sylla have already departed the club this summer with the former Tottenham boss upgrading on the former two by landing Scott Sinclair and Micah Richards on permanent deals.
If the Midlands outfit are to avoid another campaign spent scrapping with the bottom feeders though, the turnover of playing staff should not end there.
Here are three more fringe players the 10/3 relegation candidates must flog before the transfer window ceremoniously slams shut:
Nathan Baker
The 24-year-old has fallen from a first-team regular under Paul Lambert to a forgotten man for Sherwood, starting 54 games in the previous two campaigns combined and just eight this past season.
Injury played a part in his disappearance, but there is little doubt that future chances will be limited now Villa have a central-defensive core of Ciaran Clarke, Ron Vlaar and Jores Okore.
Charles N'Zogbia
If Weimann was let go after making 20 Premier League starts last term, then N'Zogbia is sure to be at risk having made one less than that and failing to find the net.
That the former Newcastle whizz kid split those starts between Lambert and Sherwood's stints indicates that neither manager particularly rated the Frenchman highly enough to make him a fixture in their side, while Sinclair's arrival ensures the 29-year-old will remain on the sidelines.
Philippe Senderos
With Richards reportedly assured a role at centre-back, the need for the former Arsenal man is severely diminished, especially as he was only able to back up injured club-captain Vlaar seven times in the Premier League due to fitness troubles of his own.

Turkish Cypriot tycoon Asil Nadir found guilty of theft
Turkish Cypriot tycoon Asil Nadir was found guilty of theft last night over the collapse of his Polly Peck business empire, one of a series of debacles that focused public attention on the corporate greed of 1980s Britain.
Nadir, formerly one of Britain's most notorious fugitives, was found guilty of three counts of theft at the Old Bailey in London.
The jury was still considering a further nine counts of theft after Nadir, one of the highest-profile businessmen in Britain in the 1980s, denied stealing £150 million ($225m) from his business empire.
He was cleared of one count of theft.
The 71-year-old tycoon looked shocked as the verdicts were announced. His wife Nur, 28, sat at the side of the dock.
Nadir was arrested in 1990 after his company Polly Peck International went into administration with debts of £550m and he was charged with more than 60 counts of theft.
Three years later, he fled for Turkish-controlled northern Cyprus, which does not have an extradition treaty with Britain.
He returned to Britain two years ago in a dramatic bid to clear his name.
Legal analysts speculated that Nadir was gambling that so much time had elapsed that a prosecution would be too complex to pull off successfully.
Polly Peck was an obscure British company until Nadir took over in 1980, turning the modest textile firm into a vehicle for a wave of acquisitions, including Del Monte's fresh fruit operations and Japan's Sansui Electric. The stock went through the roof and Nadir became one of Britain's richest men.
But the story fell apart after investigators began probing irregularities in Nadir family trusts. The tycoon denied charges he had stolen from Polly Peck to line his pockets, but the company's share price collapsed and the company itself went under in 1990.
The saga was deeply embarrassing for the then-ruling Conservative Party, to which Nadir was a major donor.

Probolinggo, E Java (Antra Babel) - President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) has expressed his hope that the social forestry program he launched in September 2016 to boost economic equity can encourage the community to be more productive.
"Indonesia is a large country with a population of 250 million people, and if the people are all productive and willing to produce anything, then the country will no longer need to import but instead export the products developed by the people," Jokowi remarked while reviewing the social forestry program for economic equity in Probolinggo District, East Java, on Thursday,
Hence, the head of state expressed hope that the forest of Perum Perhutani, Indonesian state-owned forest enterprise responsible for the management of state forests, which can be given to the community in the form of Forest Utilization Permit (IPH) letter, should be utilized optimally.
"If the permit that has been given is not used productively, or neglected, we will withdraw it again," the president told the IPH recipients from Probolinggo, Lumajang, and Jember districts.
The president stated that a similar business model, which utilizes the social forestry for small and medium enterprises, will be implemented in other regions of Indonesia.
According to the president, the utilization of community forest will be aided by financial assistance from the bank.
The community forest provides land for the farmers for a term of 35 years.
"We will extend the term if the program is productive and supports the prosperity of the farmers. The land status also has legal power," Jokowi remarked.
Jokowi has also mandated that the access to the market for outcomes of social forestry projects should increase, and the public should be given the knowledge and technical ability to strengthen their business and livelihood.
The head of state also said that farmers who use this social forest will be accompanied by Perhutani and banks, namely Bank BNI.
Environment and Forestry Ministry has set a target of 12.7 million hectares of forest areas to be managed by the local people through many programs, such as Social Forestry Scheme, Forest Village, Peoples Forest Plant, Customary Forest, and Forest Partnership.
The 12.7-million-hectare target is a manifestation of Jokowi's Nawacita program, an agenda to achieve greater economic self-reliance by focusing on strategic sectors.
The program, as conceived by the ministry, is meant to support the Nawacita program of Jokowi and Vice President M. Jusuf Kalla.
Presidents Hopes Social Forestry Can Encourage Productive Community

Fresh Market "Tuscolano III"
The covered market in Tuscolano III Quadraro neighborhood is a joy to behold, with its 120 stalls ranging between many genres (food, of course, but also many non-food and services) is absolutely one of the richest local markets of Rome.
Here you can still feel the atmosphere of the best Roman popular tradition, unfortunately forgotten in too many other areas of the city. Excellent products and quality, many zero km from the land of the Appia Antica Park and the region. Without forgetting that the dealer "The angle of the Bread" has such a spectacular red pizza that is unmatched!
A market as a time to always have on their table fruits and vegetables in season. Sellers always very kind and ready to give advice.

If the government of Tanzania destroys foreign investment in agriculture as in the Silverdale Farm case, behaves like Mugabe and throws foreign investors out of the country from the agricultural sector to support the corrupt conduct of well connected men like Benjamin Mengi-ignoring the rule of law, then investment will suffer-
Agriculture`s contribution to GDP declines
By The guardian reporter
17th September 2012
The growth of the agricultural sector, which is often touted as the country's economic backbone, has been lagging behind other sectors during the past decade.
Sectors which have outpaced agriculture's growth rate include services, manufacturing and construction, the 2011 Poverty and Human Development Report (PHDR) released last May has revealed.
The PHDR presents a consolidated review of progress towards the goals and targets set under the National Strategy for Growth and Reduction of Poverty (MKUKUTA).
Using the nationally agreed indicators for MKUKUTA I as the framework for the analysis and covering the period from 2001 to 2011, the report says the contribution of the agricultural sector to GDP has declined from 29 per cent in 2001 to 24 per cent in 2010.
"The growth rate of the agricultural sector averaged 4.3 per cent over the period 2000-2010, well below the MKUKUTA target of 10 per cent by 2010. However, the sector continues to employ around three-quarters of the labour force," it stated.
Regarding poverty and inequality, the report said the most recent national data available on household income poverty rates are from the 2007 Household Budget Survey (HBS), which were reported in the 2009 PHDR.
It said the 2007 poverty estimates indicated that the economy's significant growth since 2000/01 had not translated into significant reductions in income poverty.
"The Gini Coefficient, a measure of income inequality, remained unchanged at 0.35 between 2001 and 2007. With no new data, it is not possible to report on the current distribution of income," it explained.
It said further that since 2007, growth had more or less continued at the same pace, except with a slight dip as a result of the global financial crisis.
The report said based on past trends and with a slight slowdown in the growth rate, it was likely that the poverty reduction target under MKUKUTA I was not met and the country was off-track in meeting the Millennium Development Goals target of poverty reduction by 2015.
With respect to national food security, the report says the country has been self-sufficient in food production since 2005, with a peak in 2007 of 112 per cent. But it warned that food shortages continue to be experienced in some regions, pointing out that most recent data indicate around 23 per cent of all households in rural mainland Tanzania were food-insecure.
Regarding macroeconomic stability, it said generally it had been maintained but added that inflationary pressures had intensified over the last three years, with the inflation rate exceeding 10 per in 2008 and 2009.
It said the high inflation rate is largely explained by food inflation, rising oil prices and the impact of power shortages.
According to the report, domestic revenue collection as a percentage of GDP increased steadily from 10.9 per cent in 2000/01 to 16.0 per cent in 2008/09, but declined slightly to 15.3 percent in 2009/10, falling below the MKUKUTA I target of 16.4 per cent.
"This shortfall in domestic revenue collection has necessitated a short-term increase in the fiscal deficit, but the government is acting to improve the taxpayer environment and identify additional tax and non-tax revenue sources to further strengthen national finances.
"The external debt-to-GDP ratio has fallen considerably since 2000. Exports have increased but with limited diversification."
It explained further that credit to the private sector has increased from an average of less than 6 per cent of GDP in 2002 to 17 per cent of GDP in 2009, and interest rate spread between the lending and deposit rate had declined from 15.3 percent in 2001 to 12.3 per cent in 2009.
On education the report said literacy rates had improved marginally for women since 2004/05 (from 67 per cent to 72 per cent) but less for men (from 80 per cent to 82 per cent).
It revealed further that life expectancy had increased from 51 years in 2002 to 58 years in 2010 (57 years for men and 59 years for women), a trend that was closely associated with falling child mortality.
Under-five mortality has substantially declined over the last decade from 147 deaths per 1,000 births in 1999 to 81 deaths per 1,000 births in 2010, only marginally missing the MKUKUTA target of 79 for 2010.
"The gains in child survival are largely due to improvements in Tanzania's health system. There have been notable advances in malaria prevention, diagnosis and treatment," said the report.

Well this score is misleading, where Chelmsford dominates the same creating numerous chances, a combination of good goalkeeping and disciplined defending were the foundation of Bexley Boys who only managed five shots on target. Resulting in two goals, both lethally finished.
How cruel the beautiful game can be. Every Chemsford player played well especially Spencer.
It wasnt our day, we definitely had a penalty claim turned down when their keeper tackled our player outside the penalty area, and they gave away a succession of free kicks for our players being chopped down. They even had a player sin binned for two minutes , but im afraid we did not capitalise on this. Also on two occasions we had good scoring opportunities stopped by the ref. When the pass did not go over head high. One of my pet hates, never mind every Chelmsford player will have the hump for losing, and like me examined their game, but im sure we have the talent and determination to put things right, and become even stronger. In conclusion I would like to thank Peter and Terry for organising the event, and all the players involved in retaining the Essex 60s+ cup.

Why Intellectual Property Still Baffles Network Societies
Hardcore Internet users insist the Net makes copyrights obsolete; others say they're alive and well. As the infobahn is built, pundits, policy-makers and business interests are mulling the issue of intellectual property -- how to present it, protect it and ultimately make money off it in the emerging cyber-marketplace.
The central problem is a digital one: Perfect copies. The spectre of mass Internet piracy may be overblown, but the meta-network of 20 million and growing already has its share of Bluebeards. Last April, San Jose, Calif.-based Novell released its Netware 4.0 software package in Europe, only to see it turn up illegally a week later on a U.S.-based Internet bulletin board.
"Any kid in college with a Net account can be a massive copyright infringer," said copyright attorney Lance Rose.
As property becomes a flowing stream of ephemeral ones and zeroes, Internet futurist John Perry Barlow says the protective "bottles" containing intellectual property will be shattered.
"Even the physical/digital bottles to which we've become accustomed -- floppy disks, CD-ROMs, and other discrete, shrink-wrappable bit-packages -- will disappear as all computers jack-in to the global Net," Barlow wrote in the March issue of Wired.
Not so fast. Both industry and government policy-makers are working hard to create new containers to help sell drinks at your cybercafe of choice. A working group of the Clinton administration's National Information Infrastructure Task Force is wrestling with the adequacy of copyright laws as well as digital protection of networked property. It plans to finish its report in late May.
Many information providers and copyright lawyers feel that current copyright law is good enough to keep intellectual goods from getting hijacked on the information superhighway.
"Our view is that current copyright law affords adequate protection to software publishers," said Mark Traphagen, counsel for the Software Publishers Association. "What we need are means of enforcement."
That will be supplied by new technologies that track and pass on copyright information, and more restrictive systems that limit access and copying.
Radical internauts may feel all information should be free, but data control and dissemination will be the engine of profits for NII commercialists, just as it is for information providers now. "You will see [information] corrals on the electronic frontier. If you are going to ride the pony, you will have to pay the man in the hat," Traphagen said.
Large private network services like America Online and Prodigy are prime examples of the corral approach. But true commercial exchange on the Net will call for systems capable of controlling smaller information transfers -- the act of buying a program or an online book -- that make sure the goods get to the paying customer in mint condition.
Jerry Linn, with the Computer Systems Laboratory at the National Institute of Standards and Technology, says that specially designed rendering software, used by the buyer, could both authenticate and limit redistribution of intellectual property. He also suggests the use of an "information envelope" that would function the same as a paper one today -- giving addresses of both the sender and receiver, but protecting the digital contents until "opened" by the recipient.
Said Linn, "The notion that as information goes on the Internet it becomes public domain is insane."
Copyright lawyers heartily agree: "You don't vitiate your copyright just because you make it available on the Internet," said Stuart Sinder of the law firm Kenyon & Kenyon in New York. In fact, U.S. copyright laws aren't as behind the times as many think. Congress added language to the copyright code in 1976 that specifically gives the copyright owner rights over electronic public display of a work (ie. on continued on page 15
continued from page 14
Internet): "a performance made available by transmission to the public at large is 'public' even though the recipients are not gathered in a single place."
The Internet shareware industry is an exception to the copyright rule. These are companies that offer new software openly on the Net, and ask for payment after the fact. The approach depends heavily on the honesty of Net users, and only an estimated 5 percent actually register -- but even that return is enough to keep small shareware companies in business.
Less trusting information companies will either wait for technology to help protect their intellectual property, or just wait for payment until they ship their products.
"This isn't rocket science," said copyright attorney Rose. "There's nothing subtle going on."

Hey guys, I'm a new writer on here and, for whatever reason, the first few ideas I've had have been to base an SCP around a real-life, creepy location. For instance, Aokigahara aka the "Suicide Forest" in Japan. I'm imagining some object, creature or force that explains or partially explains the real-life circumstances around this and other locations.
Is there a history of this kind of SCP? Have they been successful? What do you all think of this kind of SCP? Thanks for the input!

Prioritize by Revenue.
As I've been writing my book on building a micro-ISV, I've noticed a set of problems that seem to afflict everyone starting their own software company. Brian Plexico has very graciously offered me the opportunity to post here about these issues and whatever small insights I can offer to micro-ISVs as to how to solve them.
Starting a micro-ISV means you've got a to-do list a mile long. I've long been a believer in the Getting Things Done approach David Allen has pioneered, so much so that the product my micro-ISV sells works that way.
But there's a glaring hole in the GTD theory: what guiding light do you use to prioritize all those actionable tasks? For micro-ISVs, it has to be revenue.
Not the latest and greatest Web 2.0 technology, or refreshing your web site, or even tech support: successful micro-ISVs, like successful small businesses in general, focus on the bottom line. If you don't, you won't survive.
Julie Morgenstern, one of my favorite productivity authors, covers extremely well how to figure out how many steps each actionable task is away from revenue in her book (now in paperback, and renamed), Making work Work. The gest of the idea analyze those actionable tasks by the number of steps they are from either increasing revenue or decreasing costs and give priority at any given time to the tasks closest to the bottom line.
Give this approach a try the next time you have to prioritize your micro-ISV to do list.

There's a wee tiny teeny tawny atomy-size of a place just after opening up in the alleyway across the street from the ghost of Javas in Catherine St.
On the outside it's teeny tiny, on the inside it's positively voluminous, how is this possible? Well of course there is a perfectly reasonable explanation.
It's a tardis.
Some timelord or other must have stopped off recently in Catherine St. (for a few scoops) and lost his keys or something.It happens. The minute you go in the door you have to go down a step or two, and you must negotiate steps to the toilet also; what are these steps if not clear evidence of Anti-Dalek features installed by the previous owner?
It's dark and red and low-ceilinged and poky and has a nice almost-nefarious 'Mos Eisley Cantina' feel. They pour an exceptional Guinness and a robust pint of Squeamish so do by all means check it out if you're down that way.

Reggae artist Beenie Man missed his performance at OVO Fest over the weekend due to contracting the Zika virus. The Grammy award winning artist took to Instagram posting a picture of him receiving medical treatment. As a result of his illness, he was denied a Canadian Visa.
Jah know…dah week ya deal wid me a way!! ⚠ No visa fi mi Canada show (I apologize again to my fans in case you haven't seen the press release) ⚠ Zika Virus hol' mi ⚠ The same Zika mosquito gi mi dengue. 😠 Blood test, injections, pills.

Over the weekend, the World Health Organization confirmed there are ten cases of Zika virus in the United States. The virus can be spread via a mosquito bite or sexually by having sex with someone who traveled to an area where the virus is spreading. There has only been one Zika related death in the US. The common symptoms are fever, rash, muscle and joint pains as well as headaches, normally lasting up to a week. For more on the Zika virus, see here.
We will keep Beenie Man in our prayers… and fellas, be careful out there.

Gamers patiently waiting for the release of the new and slightly delayed Witcher 3 game might be interested in a new video footage that has been created by Outside Xbox on YouTube that compares the new game to the awesome Game Of Thrones TV series.
The Game Of Thrones TV series is preparing to launch into its fifth season in the coming months and as you can see in the video below, the latest Witcher 3 game developed by CD Projekt RED has a few similarities say those that have played it.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt game is set to launch later this year on May 19th 2015 and will be available to play on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One, although its still not officially confirmed for Linux or Mac OS.
"The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt concludes the story of the Witcher Geralt of Rivia, the series' protagonist, whose story to date has been covered in the previous versions. Continuing from The Witcher 2, the ones who sought to use Geralt are now gone. Geralt seeks to embark on a new and personal mission, whilst the world order itself is coming to a change."
"We've got some brand new 1080p Witcher 3 gameplay and, having played the game ourselves on Xbox One, it occurs to us that if you want a sprawling RPG in a similar spirit to Game of Thrones, The Witcher 3 might be the game for you."

Goodwill is Shutting Down All Operations Across the GTA
Unfortunately, even charitable organizations aren't safe from the falling retail landscape.
Goodwill is closing down all locations across the GTA due to a "cash flow crisis". The closures include 16 stores, 10 donation centres and 2 offices in Toronto, effecting approximately 430 employees as well as stakeholders and communities.
The non-profit organization provides job training, employment placement services and community based programs for individuals with disabilities. All programs were funded through sales of donated clothing and goods, and had been running for the past 80 years.
Employees arrived at their workplaces to find them closed with no explanation. "It has come as a complete shock to the union and its employees," union lawyer Denis Ellickson told the Star. Goodwill Industries of Toronto, Eastern, Central and Northern Ontario is under a collective agreement with the union and is suppose to give employees 30 to 60 days' notice before closing.
What makes the closures especially surprising is the fact that Goodwill Industries of Toronto, Eastern, Central and Northern Ontario reported a total revenue of over $28 million in 2014, receiving over $4 million in government funding.
"Goodwill is exploring a variety of options to continue its decades-long mission," CEO Keiko Nakamura said in a statement. We hope that things get sorted out for the non-profit, as the program has benefited many.
Are you surprised that Goodwill is shutting down operations across the GTA?

Crab sauce the way my dad loved it. This was a family treat for all of us. As you all know by now, my dad was a picky food lover. He just loved a good meal. I still haven't solved the mystery, for someone who didn't know how to cook, he surely left us with some great recipes that he taught my mom .
- 5 live crabs ( depending on guests)
- 2 large onions
- 2 large tomatoes
- 4 garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- * Hot Tobasco Sauce ( Only if you prefer your sauce hot otherwise omit it)
- 1/2 teasppon of oregano
- 1/2 cup of olive oil. If you prefer you can add a bit more.
- Salt & Pepper to taste
- Empty your crabs in a colander under a sink and wash them off.
2. Use a tall pot,I used an 8 quart pot. Fill with water almost to the top, let it boil and add your crabs. Boil for about 15 minutes, until your crabs turn red.
- Dice or cut your onions, tomatoes,and your garlic in a blender
3. Add your ingredients in your pot add your olive oil, don't forget to add your oregano, salt and pepper. Saute for about 5 minutes add water and cover. Also add 5 ladles of the crab water you set aside. Set on high heat and let to boil for about 30 minutes or until it simmers.
4.When your sauce is about to simmer add your tomato paste stir and then add your crabs.
Set on medium heat until it becomes a smooth sauce. When they are ready set aside until your linguine is ready.
5. Take the crab water that you have set aside add extra water, bring it to a boil and add your linguine.As the linguine boils add a teaspoon of salt.
Drain your linguine,what I usually do is return them to the pot and butter them with two tablespoons of butter. I have a few chef friends who tell me they never butter the past they just serve it right from the pot because it loses it's flavor, we love to butter them so that's what I do. It's a personal preference.
I returned to the pot and I buttered my linguine.
Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese if you like and serve ! It looks so mouth watering !
You can serve your dish with a nice tall glass of beer !
Now how do you open and eat your crab ? This technique was taught to me by my dad.
Flip your crab over, lift the flap and insert a flat knife underneath and pop it open.
Remove all the yellowish stuff as seen in the picture below, crack open the sides and that's where all the crab meat is.
Some people cut it down the middle but I find this hard and slippery. Doesn't work for me.
The claws when broken, they too have a bit of crab meat.
Another recipe from my kitchen to yours . KALE OREXI !!
Cook time: 1 hrs. 00 mins.
Yields: 5 servings, it's usually a crab to each dish.

|Trying on this outrageous coat at the Bohemian Gallery. Lots of giggling while playing dress up in here. It's like rummaging around in your mom's closet. If your mom was a 70's disco-loving diva. Or a drag queen on Broadway.
|I don't think it's a good idea to be drawing so much attention to *that* area of the body, especially on prom night. I mean, people will naturally assume things...
|This could possibly be the best toy store in Vancity.
|Beatrix Potter tea set! How cute is this?!
|I found this to be slightly unsettling. I mean, edible modelling dough? Really?!
|SQUEE! The kid in me wants this badly!
|Smurfs! I loved watching the cartoons... although I did always wonder why there was only one Smurfette in the whole village.
|Where's Lassie?
|Awww, the ponies are in lurve!!!
|Putting the smack-down on the other lizards.
|The side dish that comes along to seasoning your pho: Bean sprouts, lime, basil leaves and a red chili. Sometimes they serve it with lemon, but either one is fine with me.
|Shrimp salad roll served with peanut sauce. I forgot how good this is, must have it more often.
|Beef ball pho for me. Nothing like a steaming hot bowl of pho on a cold, rainy day. The broth was so good and not too much MSG as I wasn't dying of thirst after dinner.
|Steamed crepes filled with minced pork, mushrooms and onions and served with peanut sauce. Perfect bite-sized morsels of goodness.

Sony Hack Probe Uncovers 'Anonymous' Calling Card• http://www.wired.com/
In the course of its investigation into the PlayStation Network security breach, Sony discovered a file that makes a clear reference to the "Anonymous" hacking group.
In a letter to the U.S. House of Representatives on Wednesday, Sony said a file named "Anonymous," containing the words "We Are Legion," was left behind by the intruders who gained access to the servers of Sony Online Entertainment. "We Are Legion" is the regular tag line used by Anonymous.
Sony Online Entertainment, or SOE, is the company's game development and distribution arm. The intruders in the SOE breach compromised information on 24.6 million users, as well as 20,000 credit card and bank account numbers.
Sony discovered the SOE breach on Sunday while investigating an earlier attack that compromised information on 77 million accounts from Sony's PlayStation Network and Qriocity services in April. Anonymous has not been linked to the PlayStation Network breach — the first one detected. However, Sony noted that both breaches took place in the same time frame, which also corresponded with a denial-of-service campaign launched by Anonymous in retaliation for Sony's lawsuit against PlayStation tinkerer George Hotz.

Labour, the Lib Dems and Plaid Cymru want to introduce a 'Tourism Tax' which could devastate small Welsh businesses and discourage people from visiting Wales.
The idea has been investigated and introduced in other parts of the world, and Plaid's Finance Spokesman confirmed in the chamber this afternoon that it could be used to pay for marketing.
Labour's Finance Minister announced the plans in the draft budget – without providing details and comes as Plaid Cymru agreed a budget deal with the Welsh Labour Government to keep them in office for at least two years.
A so-called 'Tourism Tax' was introduced in 2016 in Ibiza and Majorca – with Thomas Cook slamming the levy as a "significant extra sum" on family holidays which could persuade many families to holiday elsewhere.
Sign our petition to oppose the plans drawn up by Labour, Lib Dems and Plaid Cymru for a 'tourism tax' in Wales which could harm communities across Wales.

Burn Notice marathon! Hooray!
I love that show, despite the terrible acting and the complete absurdity. It's not as bad as NCIS, but it's still amazing.
I got to taste some Mouton-Cadet a while back. All three were really good, though I liked the rose best. It was all raspberries, and I do love me some raspberries.
I've also recently found a few recipes for brewing my own deliciousness. BeerSnob sent me a link to a site all about making your own hard cider. I'm really not all that attached to beer, but I adore hard cider. In Ireland, I got to drink Magners on a regular basis, and I have yet to taste any hard cider that stands up to it. Woodchuck makes a variety called 802 which is closer to the mark than anything else I've tried. Still, hard cider is hard to make gross. Even when it's not good it's still sweet and drinkable. This makes me think that I can get away with making it myself!
I have also found a recipe, provided by ICSA, for chicha, which is apparently rainforest potato beer. I asked the Boyfriend, who has spent some time in Ecuador, but apparently it's a Brazillian thing. According to the ICSA entry, it tastes like sweet potato pie, only it's mildly alcoholic and kinda beer-y. So apparently I need to do some serious SCIENCE up in here!

Zero-configuration networks are networks that require no/zero manual configuration or administration to operate. The essence of a zero-configuration network is that it can be used without having to think about the network at all. The most basic zero-configuration network just provides network communication but more advanced services can be provided as long as no configuration is needed. An important area of use is networks for homes and small businesses. Many of the devices that we have in our homes are or will in a near future be 'networked' i.e. capable of network communication. Examples are computers and computer equipment such as printers and scanners, the next generation home-appliances such as the refrigerator and the washing machine, the TV, the stereo, climate sensors etc. etc. The main driving forces for this development are the need for resource sharing e.g. of printers or Internet access, home automation and devices, applications or services that use network communication. Networks for the home must be 'automatic' because the average person today has problems programming his VCR and cannot be expected to configure or administrate his/her home-network. Today's solutions are insufficient because they require manual configuration and some technical knowledge. The market potential is enormous. Almost all homes and most small businesses lack a network infrastructure and many will in a near future acquire it.
In this thesis I discuss the need and areas of use for zero-configuration networks and I look at how to configure IP hosts in general. Solutions on configuration of hosts in zero-configuration networks are discussed and I propose a solution for IPv4 hosts that enables link-local communication, the most basic type of network communication using IP.
This master's thesis was carried out at Ericsson Research in Kista during the fall of 1999 and spring of 2000.

Underactive Thyroid TSH Blood Test – For Hypothyroidism
A home thyroid test kit allows you to test for the underactive thyroid hormone (also known as hypothyroidism) by using just a finger prick of human blood.
What is the thyroid?
The thyroid is a small butterfly shaped gland where hormones are produced and released into the bloodstream. The major hormones the gland makes are called T4 or thyroxine and T3 or triiodothyronine. The production of these hormones are stimulated by another hormone called thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH).
The thyroid hormones are very important as they control the rate at which the body uses and stores energy from the food we eat (the metabolic rate).
The thyroid can be found in the front of your neck just below the Adam's apple.
What causes thyroid problems?
Thyroid problems can result from either of the following causes:
If the thyroid is overactive it produces too much T3 and T4, this condition is known as hyperthyroidism or thyrotoxicosis.
If the thyroid is underactive it doesn't produce enough T3 or T4, this condition is known as hypothyroidism ('hypo' means under). An underactive thyroid is the most common thyroid problem and is more common in women and people over the age of 60, though the condition can be present at birth.
What causes hypothyroidism (underacive thyroid)?
In babies it is not known what causes hypothyroidism. In older children and adults, the most common cause of hypothyroidism is due to the autoimmune disease, called Hashimoto's disease, which tends to run in families. An autoimmune disease occurs when the immune system, which normally produces antibodies to attack foreign substances (like viruses and other bugs), starts producing antibodies which attack part(s) of the body. In people with hypothyroidism the immune system attacks the thyroid cells as if they were foreign substances.
Other possible causes may include complications from previous thyroid surgery, treatment for previous hyperthyroidism or certain medications, such as Lithium and Amiodarone.
Why should I take this Thyroid test?
This test looks for the level of TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) in capillary blood. A raised TSH level is an indication of an underactive thyroid (Hypothyroidism)
Iodine and the thyroid
The thyroid gland must have iodine to make the thyroid hormones. Iodine comes into the body in food we eat and travels through the blood to the thyroid. Iodine is a mineral that is found naturally in foods like seafood and milk. Iodine can also be found in some mineral supplements that contain or are made from kelp (a kind of seaweed), cough syrups and some medications (Amiodarone).
A diet which is high in iodine can sometimes cause hyperthyroidism and if you have a problem with your thyroid, such as Graves' disease then excess iodine can make the condition worse.
A lack of iodine in your diet can trigger hypothyroidism. This is rare in the western world as iodine is added to table salt, but in less developed countries iodine deficiency is the most common cause of hypothyroidism. To the other extreme, high intakes of iodine can occasionally prevent the thyroid gland from working properly.
The thyroid and pregnancy
During pregnancy your immune system is suppressed as a protection for the baby but after delivery there is a rise in immune activity and this can trigger a thyroid disease to develop or make a thyroid disease worse. If you or a close relative has ever had an over or under active thyroid you should tell your doctor when you find out you are pregnant, so that your thyroid levels can be checked during and after pregnancy.
Hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism is most common in the first 2-3 months after pregnancy. However, it will often go undetected with the normal body changes and confusion that occurs after child birth. If pregnancy has triggered a thyroid disease it is usually temporary and may last 3-6 months before a full recovery is made.
The good news is most babies will be born with completely normal thyroid function even if you developed thyroid problems during pregnancy.
What are the symptoms of hypothyroidism?
In hypothyroidism the thyroid is underactive and so the rate of metabolism slows down. As hypothyroidism usually develops slowly you may have no symptoms until the condition is well advanced. The symptoms you may have might be blamed on old age and can vary in severity but as your metabolism continues to slow, the symptoms should become more obvious. The symptoms may include any of the following:
Later symptoms may include constipation, dry, pale skin and dry hair, which may be brittle and break easier.
What is the treatment for hypothyroidism?
If you have been diagnosed with hypothyroidism you will need to take thyroxine tablets, a thyroid hormone supplement, which simply replaces the thyroid hormone T4 which is not being made. Occasionally you may be given T3 replacement tablets as an alternative.
This treatment will need to be taken for life even though you should begin to feel better. Your doctor will want to monitor your condition with regular blood tests to check the thyroid hormone levels and how the treatment is working.
How is this test carried out:
1. Wash your hands with soap and rinse with clear warm water.
2. Bring the pouch to room temperature before opening it. Open the foil pouch and get out the cassette.
3. Carefully pull off and dispose of the clear plastic cap of the lancet. The lancet is a single use lancet so make sure you do not fire the lancet prematurely.
4. Use the provided alcohol pad to clean the fingertip of the middle or ring finger as the puncture site.

You may continue to massage your finger to obtain more blood if the line is not reached. As far as possible, try to avoid air bubbles.
8. Transfer the collected blood into the sample well (S) of the cassette, by squeezing the dropper bulb.
9. Wait for the blood to be totally dispensed in the well. Unscrew the cap of the buffer bottle and add 2 drops of buffer into the sample well of the cassette.
10. Wait for the coloured line(s) to appear. Read results at 10 minutes. Results obtained after this time may be inaccurate.
