MICHAEL VAN GERWEN and Phil Taylor continue to set the pace in the Betway Premier League following big wins at Nottingham's Motorpoint Arena on Thursday, as reigning champion Gary Anderson, Adrian Lewis and James Wade also picked up victories.
World number one van Gerwen's astonishing recent form continued as he averaged 113.47 in a 7-2 defeat of Dave Chisnall, a display which included checkouts of 134, 105 and 100 in successive legs.
The win was van Gerwen's fifth in a row this season and leaves him ahead of Taylor on leg difference ahead of their high-profile showdown in Glasgow next week, and after also retaining the UK Open title on Sunday the Dutchman admitted: "I'm playing fantastic darts and I'm happy with what I'm doing at the moment.
"I think I played a really good game tonight but I was consistent and I got the win, which is what you aim for. Of course I can do better, but I'm still at the top and I can't wait to play Phil next week because I always look forward to playing him.
"He's the greatest who ever lived but I'm challenging him at the moment."
Taylor condemned World Grand Prix champion Robert Thornton to a second 7-0 whitewash of the season with a ruthless display of his own, limiting the Scot to only three darts at a double in a dominant performance as he also won a fifth straight match.
"Robert didn't deserve to be whitewashed and he missed one or two doubles, but I had to go out and do a job and I did that tonight," said Taylor. "I'm gutted for Robert because he's such a nice guy and a good player and he's struggling a little bit, but he'll be back.
"It's another two points for me and I'm focusing on getting to the Play-Offs. I'm really looking forward to next week against Michael and I can't wait - I'll be ready for him."
Adrian Lewis bounced back from his 7-1 loss to Taylor last week in Exeter with a 7-3 win over Sunday's UK Open finalist Peter Wright, averaging 107.93 and taking out a key 136 checkout in a superb performance.
"Peter's been playing some fantastic darts recently so I knew I had to be up for the challenge and I came through it well," said Lewis. "I played really well and I'm happy with my performance.
"Last weekend wasn't a great weekend for me - I lost 7-1 to Phil in the Premier League and then went out in the UK Open to Jelle Klaasen but I played awfully all the way through really - but I put it right."
James Wade joined Lewis on eight points as he edged out Raymond van Barneveld 7-5, after the Dutchman missed three darts at doubles to snatch a draw in the game's deciding leg.
Van Barneveld followed up finishes of 104 and 118 with a brilliant 161 checkout as he pulled back to 5-3, but a key 121 bull finish from Wade gave him breathing space before he took out 82 to claim both points.
"It was a strange game and Raymond probably should have got a draw out of it," said Wade. "Fortunately he missed his darts at a double, although I did the same against Adrian a few weeks ago and threw away a draw in the same way.
"I'm kicking myself a little bit because I got so far in front early on, but I'm really happy to get the win."
World Champion Anderson claimed his third successive win to give himself breathing space from the elimination battle at the foot of the table with a 7-3 defeat of Michael Smith, the Premier League newcomer who was facing his mentor on stage for the first time.
Smith hit back from 4-1 down to trail by just one leg before Anderson took out a key 64 finish in leg nine before landing a brace of double ten checkouts to seal the win.
"I was really nervous about the game because I've said for years how good Michael is and he's still yet to show it on TV, and he was a little bit off tonight so it was good to get the win," said Anderson. "If Michael had won it he'd certainly have let me know about it!
"I'm pleased to have go the points because I'm still not happy with my performance and I'm still not throwing right, I'm lobbing them a little and it's got me puzzled but I'll keep plodding on."
Thornton now sits on one point at the foot of the league table, albeit with a game in hand, with Smith and Chisnall on three points and 2014 champion van Barneveld having claimed four points from his opening six games.
The Betway Premier League continues next Thursday at The Hydro in Glasgow, where Anderson will compete twice to play his game in hand after missing the season's opening night in Leeds through illness.
Thornton then plays twice in Liverpool before Judgement Night in Cardiff sees the bottom two players eliminated, leaving the remaining eight stars to battle for Play-Off places in the second half of the season.

Suspect Arrested in Murder of Tunisian MP
TEHRAN (Tasnim) - Tunisian security forces arrested a suspect in the murder of opposition politician Mohamed Brahmi after a fierce gunbattle during an overnight raid on a militant hideout, the interior ministry's spokesman said on Sunday.
- February, 09, 2014 - 16:59
- Other Media
- Comments
Brahimi was the second of two opposition politicians to have been assassinated last year by suspected jihadists as violence rocked the North African country, which was the birthplace of the Arab Spring revolutions in 2011.
The security forces "surrounded a house (near the capital Tunis) where a terrorist group had holed up. Following a sustained exchange of fire, four elements were arrested," interior ministry spokesman Mohamed Ali Aroui told AFP.
"Among them is Hmed el-Melki, alias 'Somali,' one of the elements implicated in the assassination of the martyr Mohamed Brahmi," he said, adding weapons were seized during the raid.
"The interior ministry stresses that it was a successful operation," the spokesman said without revealing the identities of the other suspects.
The announcement came after the government said Tuesday that the suspected assassin of opposition politician Chokri Belaid had been killed in a police raid.
Gunmen killed Belaid on February 6 and Brahmi on July 25, both of them outside their homes.
Authorities blamed the murders on the Ansar Al-Sharia, a jihadist outfit accused of links to Al-Qaeda, but the group never claimed responsibility for those or any other attacks.

Another purveyor of adult magazines, videos, lingerie and sexual aids has bested Howard County zoning authorities, rendering a law meant to push the stores away from prominent locations near residential neighborhoods virtually meaningless.
A zoning violation case against the Lovecraft adult store in the median of U.S. 1 in North Laurel fell apart last week when two county inspectors found the place stuffed with enough nonsexual material to evade the legal definition of an "adult" store. The better-known Pack Shack store on U.S. 40 in Ellicott City defeated the same law in August 2008 by using the same tactic.
That means Howard's law, enacted in 1997 after members of several Ellicott City churches began picketing the Pack Shack, now regulates neither of the two most prominent adult book and video stores in the county.

JavaScript Tutorial 2: Variables and Operators
Javascript tutorial (学习笔记) 系列基本上转载自 "A re-introduction to JavaScript (JS Tutorial)" 加上自己学习过程中的心得体会以及自己的例子和理解. 这一篇是第二篇(接Javascript Tutorial (学习笔记) 1):
Other types
JavaScript distinguishes between
null, which is an object of type 'object' that indicates a deliberate non-value, and
undefined, which is an object of type 'undefined' that indicates an uninitialized value — that is, a value hasn't even been assigned yet. We'll talk about variables later, but in JavaScript it is possible to declare a variable without assigning a value to it. If you do this, the variable's type is
JavaScript has a boolean type, with possible values
true and
false (both of which are keywords). Any value can be converted to a boolean according to the following rules:
false, ``, the empty string (
null, and
undefinedall become
- all other values become
You can perform this conversion explicitly using the
Boolean() function:
> Boolean("")
> Boolean(234)
However, this is rarely necessary, as JavaScript will silently perform this conversion when it expects a boolean, such as in an
if statement (see below). For this reason, we sometimes speak simply of "true values" and "false values," meaning values that become
true and
false, respectively, when converted to booleans. Alternatively, such values can be called "truthy" and "falsy", respectively.
Boolean operations such as
&& (logical and),
|| (logical or), and
! (logical not) are supported; see below.
New variables in JavaScript are declared using the
var keyword:
var a;
var name = "simon";
If you declare a variable without assigning any value to it, its type is
An important difference from other languages like Java is that in JavaScript, blocks do not have scope; only functions have scope. So if a variable is defined using
var in a compound statement (for example inside an
if control structure), it will be visible to the entire function.
下面这段测试代码就是测试上面这段话讲的, javascript没有scope, 意思就是即使是在局部定义的变量(比如for里面), 该变量还是能够在全局访问到, 测试如下:
#! /usr/bin/env node for (var i = 0; i < 5; i++) { //Will execute 5 times var local_var = i * 17; } console.log("i = " + i); console.log("local_var = " + local_var); //outputs: i = 5 local_var = 68
JavaScript's numeric operators are
/ and
% - which is the remainder operator. Values are assigned using
=, and there are also compound assignment statements such as
+= and
-=. These extend out to
x = x operator y.
x += 5
x = x + 5
You can use
++ and
-- to increment and decrement respectively. These can be used as prefix or postfix operators.
+ operator also does string concatenation:
> "hello" + " world"
hello world
If you add a string to a number (or other value) everything is converted in to a string first. This might catch you out:
> "3" + 4 + 5
> 3 + 4 + "5"
Adding an empty string to something is a useful way of converting it.
Comparisons in JavaScript can be made using
<= and
>=. These work for both strings and numbers. Equality is a little less straightforward. The double-equals operator performs type coercion (强制类型转换) if you give it different types, with sometimes interesting results:
> "dog" == "dog"
> 1 == true
To avoid type coercion, use the triple-equals operator:
> 1 === true
> true === true
There are also
!= and
!== operators.
JavaScript also has bitwise operations. If you want to use them, they're there.
关于比较我自己再插几句话:关于 (
===) 和 (
==)的区别, 三个等号的(===)在比较的时候不进行类型转换, ===两边要相等当且仅当两边的类型相同value相等. 而两个等号(==)的比较 则会进行强制类型转换, 也就是上面看到的那个例子.

Offers over £299,995 - Mortgage funding available
Deceptively large home set in two acres of land, cleverly designed to take full advantage of the beautiful mountain and sea views
Property Description
Pimborough Fields is a very well presented, three bedroom, detached villa, located approximately five miles off the main road from Fort William to Mallaig, in the direction of Glenuig. It is an individual and deceptively large property sitting on just over two acres of land, with a commanding, elevated position overlooking stunning mountain and sea views. Stylishly presented throughout, the subjects of sale have been maintained to a high standard by the current owners, and as such offer accommodation in walk in condition.
Built less than five years ago and presented over two floors the property is designed to take full advantage of the surrounding scenery. One of the most outstanding features of the property is the surprise you get as your journey upstairs; as you approach the first floor the space opens to a huge living room, with an abundance of light filling the room from patio doors which catch your breath as they expose
the wonderful, panoramic sea and mountain views.
What a treat to relax on the sofa and stare out at the wonders of the Scottish coastline. The room has been cleverly divided into zones by the current owners, with dedicated communal, reading and craft spaces. As you enter the property you are greeted by a
welcoming hall, which leads to all ground floor apartments, including a sizable kitchen diner, again with patio doors spilling out onto a decked patio area, where you can enjoy the unspoiled view. Off the kitchen is a handy utility area, with back door access. There is a family bathroom, two bedrooms and an understairs cupboard on this floor. You will find another bedroom upstairs, which is currently used as an office, with a modern en-suite shower room, and fitted wardrobes, with access to the loft.
Externally, the drive way is laid to gravel, and there is ample parking space for numerous vehicles. The two acre plot is bordered by a lovely burn, and provides a safe environment for animals and kids to play in. The garden is mostly laid to lawn and is easily maintained,
benefitting from a sunny aspect, depending on the time of day.
This property would make a most lovely family home and also lends itself perfectly to a holiday home or holiday rental, taking advantage of the all year round self-catering opportunity that the area offers.
Extras (Included in the sale): Oil central heating, double glazing, ramp access at rear of property, integrated dishwasher, large gas Lamona hob, with electric oven and extractor hood included in the sale.

Enjoy our interview with her, you don't want to miss the tips she gave!
- Can you introduce yourself to us?
Hello, My name is Adetuke Morgan. I'm a Graduate of Economics from the University of Nottingham, UK, however, I don't work in my field of study. I am a Saxophonist, Lifestyle Blogger, Award Winning Food Photographer, Writer, Content Creator, Natural Hair Rocker, Food & Theatre Lover with wanderlust who enjoys acting, modeling and doing voice-overs.
- How long have you been writing?
I started writing in a journal every day in late 2007
- How long have you been freelancing?
The first article I got paid for went up on the Brand's Website on March 22nd, 2015, so almost 2 years.
- In the course of your freelancing, what are some of the challenges you faced and how did you overcome them?
I wrote 5 articles every month for a brand for about 5 months. The first 2 months were great as I received payment promptly. By the third month, there were delays and it took about 5 months for me to receive what I was owed. I don't know if it was the fault of the brand or the fault of their digital agency but I am glad that wasn't my sole source of income. I had to follow up and send loads of reminder emails before the payment was received.
- What are your favourite tools for working?
Microsoft word, Google Docs, Dropbox & Adobe Lightroom
- Tell us about your blog tukequest.com
It is a lifestyle blog that I started on the 8th of February 2014.

I love my blog and the opportunities it has brought my way.
- How do you motivate yourself to write?
A lot of my readers and followers motivate me when they send random emails or see me in public and show excitement and genuine happiness. I am also motivated by the drive to succeed and leave a legacy, other people's achievements and listening to empowering and encouraging music and messages. Hanging out and talking to people in my industry, hearing about their challenges and how they have overcome them also motivates me as I know things can only get better.
- What is something you've learnt about freelancing that others can learn also from?
Don't burn bridges even when you are treated unfairly. Also, don't put out substandard work when you are working pro bono. Your articles are a way of selling your market so let the quality be high at all times.
- Tell us about one of your works/write-ups you consider as your favourite.
I only publish articles I am happy with so I am proud to show off all my write-ups in the features section of my blog. I am particularly proud of the #JoziWithGoogle series on Bella Naija as I was churning out articles every night for 6 nights with high-quality images which I sometimes edited after an intense day of activities. It wasn't easy as I was writing while others were sleeping or partying but I was determined to do justice to that opportunity.
- What is your best writing tip?
Hit Publish. I heard this phrase from Okechukwu Ofili at a writer's workshop at Protea Hotel in April 2014. He said even if you are scared of what the reaction to your article will be, or you are not sure if it is good enough, still publish it because the feedback and experience can only help you get better.
- What is your best freelancing tip?
Don't look down on anyone you meet, you never know where your next job or opportunity will come from. Don't procrastinate, be disciplined enough to meet your deadlines.

text: About 5 times now, I've noticed the TV Out application has launched, and I see the little TV icon up in the notification curtain. I have no idea how it opens, but when it does I have no audio. If I plug in headphones, I get audio through them. After headphone removal, there is still no audio from the external speaker. Also, I don't see any way of closing it. It sometimes closes on its own, but I usually wind up rebooting the phone. Anyone know how to close this app and keep it from launching? Does it automatically launch when the proper cable is inserted, or do you manually launch it.

Alex Koleszar
Alex Koleszar completed roughly 30 canvases in oil from ages 11 to 14. Years later at a personal crisis point, he rededicated himself to his art as part of his physical and emotional recovery. His work — a unique fusion of realism and surrealism reflecting his reverence for the works of Dali and Magritte — which quickly began being collected across the United States and Europe, consistently reflects the times and mirrors his inner-most feelings. One such piece, "A Poison Tree," created in response to the September 11 tragedy, was sold before it was even completed. With a passion not only for art, but also politics, Alex's work often deals with critical issues, including works in response to the Enron scandal ("The Great Leveler"), the rush to war during the Bush Administration ("Bosch Americana"), and to potential motives for war ("The Point of War") as well as others addressing key issues of addiction and recovery ("Ceci N'est Pas Une Pipe" and "The Committee"). http://www.ajkart.me/

One constant reminder that they all seem to recommend moms do is take time for ourselves. Time for myself? What is that?! I'm kidding. Sort of.
With M working 90-100 hours a week normally, I don't get a moment of peace until all my 3 little bugs are in bed at night. No quiet in the bathroom, either! However, when M is home, he is really supportive of giving me some alone time. And I so appreciate it!
The day after we got home from vacation I headed up to the outlets. I needed to pick up something for Kate so figured I might do some looking for myself. After all, I was alone.
My favorite store is Ann Taylor and when I walked in I was quite nostalgic. I used to buy all my suits there when I was in the professional world. Then I bought all my clothes there when I was teaching. Now that I wear t-shirts appliqued with spit up and jeans every day, I don't buy so much there. Maybe 1 or 2 shirts a year. So sad.
Walking in I admired all the suits and dresses that I have no reason to wear. The gorgeous materials and styles were calling my name. I couldn't even pretend I would have somewhere to wear them to. But as I worked my way through the store I started to find lots of things that I could wear throughout the day. Lots of it! Before I knew it, my arms were completely full and someone was offering to take the clothes and put them in a fitting room for me. It was a good thing she did. In 5 more minutes, my arms were full again! Wow, I never feel like I can find anything when all the kids are with me. This was like shopping used to be before I had kids!
This is what the dressing room looked like when I walked in:
I should mention that I took these pics with my phone and they weren't the greatest. However, there were piles and piles of clothes in that room! And the fact that I was able to try them all on, while taking my time was... priceless!
I ended up spending almost $300 and didn't feel an ounce of guilt about it.
Here's the weird part. The entire 45 minute drive there, I was feeling guilty for leaving the girls. I am literally with them all day every day so I couldn't understand why I felt guilty. But I did. A lot. Mommy guilt is a fierce thing. Once I stood in the dressing room with new clothes on, the guilt dissipated. I was finally feeling a bit like my old self. Happy, free, and shopping!
Seriously, a little alone time really can make you feel so much better! I went back home on a shopping high and refreshed. I was ready to handle whatever flung itself on me when I walked through the door. And that just happened to be 2 cute toddlers and a baby!

So Innisfree have so many different skincare ranges where each range is formulated for specific skin types and concerns and each of them have the usual line of Korean products like creams, emulsions, toners, essences etc.
The Green Tea range is my personal favourite and it comes in 4 sets – Green Tea Fresh, Green Tea Balancing and Green Tea Moisture and Green Tea Seed Range.
Green Tea balancing is the range for combination skin! It's got ingredients like green tea extracts (70%) and plant derived butters that are supposed to balance the oily parts and dry parts of the skin while still protecting it.
Quantity: 50ml
Price: $18
Ingredients: The Green Tea Extract (69.5%), Propanediol, Glycerin, Cyclopentasiloxane, Cetyl Ethylhexanoate, Pentaerythrityl Tetraethylhexanoate, Cyclohexasiloxane, Hydrogenated Poly(C6-14 Olefin), Orchid Extract, Cocoa Seed Butter, Camellia Leaf Extract, Prickly Pear Extract, Tangerine Peel Extract, Tangerine Extract, Orange Extract, Grapefruit Extract, Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Extract, Shea Butter, Betaine, C12-20 Alkyl Glucoside, C14-22 Alcohol, Glyceryl Stearate, Lauric Acid, Myristic Acid, Behenyl Alcohol, Sodium Polyacrylate, Stearic Acid, Arachidyl Glucoside, Arachidyl Alcohol, Palmitic Acid, PPG-5-Laureth-5, Hydrogenated Polydecene, Carbomer, Tromethamine, Disodium EDTA, Ethylhexylglycerin, 1,2-Hexanediol, Fragrance
Free from Parabens, Mineral oil, imidazolidinyl Urea, synthetic colorants. This product is Vegan and Cruelty Free!
Where do I even start with this cream? I'm a fangirl really. First up – No parabens, mineral oil, or alcohol denat. Not just in this cream but that's pretty much the case for most of their products if not all. The alcohols you see in the ingredient list are fatty alcohols that are actually good for the skin. It comes in a cute little green tub with 50 ml of product which I think is fabulous. The texture of this cream is very light, whipped- like but it is very moisturizing. This cream definitely leaves a dewy finish on the skin but also works beautifully under makeup. If you're more on the oily side then you'd prefer using this at night and get the lotion version of this for daytime. However, sometimes it's a real treat to apply it in the morning as well or under a super drying foundation. This cream has the most amazing smell. It has a herbal/fresh/garden/spring like scent to it which makes me feel refreshed every time I use it. I won't say it's overpowering at all though.
This makes my skin moisturized from within. It is seriously hydrating but also completely sinks into the skin leaving behind a dewy finish. It keeps my skin hydrated all day and night. When I wake up, my face does look a little too glowy bordering on greasy but it's just the extra oil that my skin produces and not the actual product. Once I cleanse my face in the morning, my skin looks well hydrated. It also layers with other products pretty well. It is usually the last step in my routine but I do occasionally use the Laneige WaterSleeping mask over this moisturizer and they work well together giving me amazing results.
This cream is so so gentle on my skin! When I had the weird blotchy reaction to a toner I used, this cream calmed my skin down and stopped the itchy feeling right away. It doesn't aggravate any spots or redness. I love all the ingredients in it and it is genuinely great for combination skin because my dry skin patches are looking much better lately. I have been using this cream every single day since I got it a month ago and I will probably repurchase it when I run out. If not the balancing version, I'd like to try the Green Tea Seed Cream which is very popular as well. It's crazy that I generously use this stuff every night, sometimes morning as well but it looks like I've just started using it. It's safe to say that I'm not parting with this product anytime soon.
Note: Innisfree is a Cruelty Free brand in Korea where this product is made but it sells in China.

West Wycombe Park is a country house near the village of West Wycombe in Buckinghamshire, England, built between 1740 and 1800. It was conceived as a pleasure palace for the 18th-century libertine and dilettante Sir Francis Dashwood, 2nd Baronet. The house is a long rectangle with four façades that are columned and pedimented, three theatrically so. The house encapsulates the entire progression of British 18th-century architecture from early idiosyncratic Palladian to the Neoclassical, although anomalies in the design of the house also make it architecturally unique. The mansion is set within an 18th-century landscaped park containing many small temples and follies, which act as satellites to the greater temple, the house.

Dublin, March 13, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Wireless Mesh Network Market by Component (Physical Appliances, Mesh Platform, Services), Mesh Design (Infrastructure and Ad-Hoc), Radio Frequency, Applications (Disaster Management, Smart Manufacturing), and Region - Global Forecast to 2022" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The Global Wireless Mesh Network Market Size is Expected to Grow from USD 3.89 Billion in 2017 to USD 7.44 Billion By 2022, at a CAGR of 13.8%
The growing adoption of smart connected devices across various industry verticals, rapid demand in bandwidth requirement, and reduction in cost of connected devices are some of the factors driving the wireless mesh network market. Need for consistent and stable network is one of the biggest and most important reasons that is resulting in the growth of wireless mesh network market. However, data security and privacy concerns are said to be the major restraining factor for the growth of this market.
The ad-hoc mesh network design is a peer-to-peer network where end stations function as routing nodes. This network is created as per the need without requirement of a prior complex network design and planning. In ad-hoc network design when access points come in a range, they automatically identify themselves and set up links to each other to form a network. Each access point in the network is in communication with various access points and could route traffic between any different access points on the network.
The 2.4 GHz band is used by microwaves, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth devices, cordless phones, and other wireless devices. It is a relatively short wavelength permit signal that can easily navigate obstructions. By leveraging wave characteristics, the wireless devices in this network can transmit large amounts of data rapidly, making the 2.4 GHz band faster and less susceptible to interference.
North America is expected to hold the largest market share in the wireless mesh network market during the forecast period. The adoption of Internet of Things (IoT) across various industry verticals is driving the wireless mesh network market in this region. For instance, since 2012, the US has been incorporating smart solutions into industries, such as energy and utilities, industrial automation, intelligent buildings and infrastructure, and public safety. Most of the smart city projects in the US are near completion; thus, the country is expected to witness a low growth rate in the smart cities space in the years to come.

"Arise like a lion to serve your Creator in the morning" (Shulchan Aruch 1,1)
At the moment I am unsure about how to serve my Creator. So maybe this is why I have difficulties getting up in the morning?
Without going into too many details… I am stuck between orthodox and reform Judaism. The only thing I know now is, that Judaism it has to be.
At first I really thought I could live orthodox at some future point in my life. You know, you read books, you become intrigued, it seems like the only "original" version of the whole thing. You don't question. You are a sponge. But then questions start (at least when you continue to live in a non-Jewish environment). What is the reason for … ? Question from yourself, but mostly from others. On the one hand it is a good thing. It forces you to research what you do to be able to explain the nuances, to find out what you can honestly defend. It forces you to define yourself and your faith.
On the other hand, it makes you explain and sometimes defend positions, that are just plain ridiculous, outdates or very narrow-minded. And this is the basis for my current state of confusion. How is it that the comunity has become so judgemental? So obsessed with outer appearances? So fearful of interaction?
At that point, I met my first serious non-orthodox Jews. Not these "yeah, well, I'm just not practising, so call me reform Jew". Really committed to Judaism, but also engaged with the world, open, willing to think about the reasons for a commandment and to maybe reject some age-old minhag (custom) that is no longer applicable to modern times. Halacha means walking, walking stands for movement, adapting to changing terrain. We can critically examine our traditions and reject things that come from a different time. Society (also gentile society) evolves. So should we. This seems to be the basic approach of the conservative movement.
But I have yet to meet a real conservative Jew here. We have a liberal community here and I have been to their services. They are kind and open, wonderful people. But when I sit in their services,sometimes I feel like the only person who kows what's going on. And that's just sad. At other times they read things together in unison in transation and I feel like in a church. Orthodox services are wonderful, like coming home. But I cannot really connect to the people, cannot really share their world view.
So where do I belong? Nowhere?

Howdy! Whadda know! It's Megan's birthday weekend! This time around, her birthday falls on the Saturday of a holiday weekend - how cool is that? So, to celebrate, I'm waking her up at 4am to get on a plane to Rhode Island - yay! Actually, one of the main reasons for this trip is to get Katie to 3 new states: Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine. We should be able to do it without too much driving over the course of 4 days, while still being able to see some cool stuff. At the end of the trip, we'll actually get home at a reasonable hour - then perhaps Megan can get some sleep! Happy Birthday, love!

Why Cebu Is A Promising Area For Global Investments
Friday, May 30, 2008 [ sunstar.com.ph ]
The House committee on economic affairs believes that Cebu is a promising area for future global investments, especially since the province is the "hub" of three major potential products in the country.
Committee members, however, admitted having apprehensions about the effects of the US economic slowdown, wage hike and oil price increases on local businesses.
The committee, which convened yesterday to conduct an ocular inspection and consultative meeting with locators of Cebu Mistumi Industries Inc. in Danao City to learn more about special economic zones, identified Cebu's three major potential products as the gun industry (in Danao), shipbuilding (in Balamban) and information technology (IT) infrastructure.
Rep. Roilo Golez of Parañaque City explained that Danao's "home-grown and growing" gun industry is one of Cebu's advantages since other areas cannot easily replicate it.
He also lauded Tsuneishi Heavy Industries that can build a bulk carrier in about 45 days and the Aboitiz-owned FBMA Marine Inc., which produces world-class boats for international clients, including the British Navy.
"If Tsuneishi and (South Korea's) Hanjin (Heavy Industries and Construction) in Subic will work together, the Philippines will become the fourth largest shipbuilding (industry) in the world, (next to) China, Japan and Korea. It used to be Norway, Poland, US and England. Now, we are very much in the picture," he said.
"Cebu is contributing to the Philippines (becoming) a major shipbuilder."
Having a good IT infrastructure, Golez said, enables hundreds of workers to work in call centers and animation development. He noted that Cebu "has a very good connection" with the foreign movie industry with the presence of Bigfoot Entertainment facilities here.
"I think the committee is not the only one eyeing Cebu as a priority area (for development), but also future investments of companies," he said.
Committee Chairman Ramon "Red" Durano VI (Cebu, 5th district) admitted that the body is aware of the apprehensions of the business sector to invest, expand or hire more workers with the looming US recession and the increases in oil prices and wages.
The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) reported that Philippine companies are shelving plans to expand and hire more due to these factors.
This was based on a survey of 1,258 firms among the country's top 7,000 companies. The results showed fierce competition and weak demand as "key risks to business activity" from March to May.
"We are trying to come up with resolutions to tackle these. We will be having hearings to discuss how we can deal with these (factors)," Durano said in a news conference.
The House committee on economic affairs asked the management of Cebu Mitsumi Industries Inc. for recommendations on how the government can help industries.
Initially, Cebu Mitsumi director and corporate secretary Januario Seno asked the government to bring back the incentives that used to be extended to companies that put up facilities in the countryside, as well as to lower power rates. (NRC)

Lukas Sedlak, the Blue Jackets' fourth-line center, went down with an ankle injury during practice Monday and, according to the team, he will be out for six weeks. Although this is by no means a crippling loss, the Jackets are not deep down the middle and their roster will have to contort to make up for Sedlak's absence.
Cough … Matt Duchene … cough, cough. Cough.
Coming off back-to-back losses, one would surmise the Jackets are at least giving a passing thought to finding some help via a signing or a trade. They have a nice team, they know it, and they do not want to be chasing the field when autumn turns to winter. Center depth is important. Can it be padded?
Such a question leads, inevitably, back to Colorado's Duchene, who has been on the trading block for at least seven months. Duchene is a top-line center. He is not the same strata as Connor McDavid, Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, et al., but he's a No. 1 and, as such, a premium commodity.
Blue Jackets general manager Jarmo Kekalainen has made his pitch to Avalanche general manager Joe Sakic. In fact, more than a few general managers have made a pitch for Duchene. Sakic is asking for a healthy return and, it seems clear, his plan is to wait until he gets what he seeks.
The Duchene situation is regular fodder for in-studio yammer fests. Just this past week on "Hockey Night in Canada", scoopmeister Elliotte Friedman said "frustration with Duchene is growing a bit" because the lead-up to the inevitable trade is dragging on like "The Walking Dead." The standard thinking was that Duchene would be traded before training camp. Even Duchene figured as much. Now, we're closing in on November.
Nick Kypreos of "Hockey Night in Canada" said Sakic is looking for a current player, a draft pick and a blue-chip prospect for Duchene. Longtime Avalanche beat writer Adrian Dater writes that Sakic is looking for "at minimum a real good defenseman and/or a real good defensive prospect and probably a draft pick and/or another prospect."
We can only speculate on what constitutes the Jackets' offer, which is gathering dust on the proverbial table. Defenseman Ryan Murray has long been linked to rumors, as has rookie forward Sonny Milano. There has to be a draft pick in there. (Would you give up Murray, Milano and a first-rounder for Duchene?)
After Sedlak went down Monday, Kekalainen was asked whether he was thinking about doing anything — and he immediately went into the "we're always looking to make the team better" routine, which I took as a sign that he figured his questioner was asking about Duchene.
In any case, Kekalainen feels no more impetus to pad his center-ice position now than he did in March, April, May, June, July, August, September or last week.
The Jackets are going to slide Zac Dalpe from wing to center on the fourth line. Dalpe is a natural center. They are also thinking of taking a look at rookie Pierre-Luc Dubois in the middle. Dubois may or may not be a natural center — it depends on the month — but the Jackets have him at center in their long-term plans, they like his game right now and they are not afraid to give him some experience in the pivot.
Adding Duchene makes some sense: The Jackets' forward corps improves if he's on top and every other center moves down a notch. But at what price? That is the question. Duchene will be a unrestricted free agent in 2019, and without assurances that he'll stick around beyond then, Sakic's asking price is steep. It is crafted for the desperate, be it the buyer or the seller.

The first of three Wildcats fouled out, but not before he broke up a Sullivan County fast break. A few moments later, two Lincoln College players slid across the floor to smother a loose ball like soldiers hurling themselves on a live grenade.
On Saturday, Nov. 1, Lincoln College trailed by as many as 20 points in the opening half as they battled the No. 5 team in the nation in the season opener.
A brand new championship banner was unfurled on the far wall of the sparkling gym. The Bristol Boys & Girls Club gym hasn't even been opened to the public, yet they unlocked their doors for the defending Region XXI champs.
On the floor, the next generation was fighting to live up to those high expectations.
"They fought the whole game, and that's kind of the stamp for Lincoln College teams," said Wildcat coach Preston Beverly. "We're just fighters."
How did it turn out? Not bad for a team that has only two sophomores on its roster.
Lincoln cut the lead to single digits with just over six minutes to go. In the final minute of the game, rookie guard Foday Sankaray converted a three pointer from the left side to pull the Wildcats within 10.
Sullivan County CC is a preseason favorite on the short list of national contenders, but the Wildcats matched them step for step in their first collegiate games. If it wasn't for 18 missed free throws, Lincoln might have pulled off the upset.
"We are a little banged up, but we really stepped up," said Beverly. The coach believes that this winter will be characterized by the same competitiveness that put the small, Southington college on the map last year. "We were down 20 at one point, but we were able to cut it to single digits. That heart and fight is going to be our strength."
Sullivan County posted three players in double digits, but that was matched by Lincoln's top shooters. Freshman forward Austin Mofunanyo paced the attack with 19 points and 11 rebounds. Rookie guard Derrick Wilson added 16 points, four assists, and three steals. Wayne Weir came off the bench to scored 12 points, and forward Joshua Gause added nine points with seven rebounds.
The team shot 28-for-46 from the floor (43.8 percent) and held that percentage from beyond the arc with seven three pointers in 16 attempts.
"The good thing is that all those mistakes we made today are all correctable," said the coach. "It isn't like we don't have the talent because we do. We definitely have the heart and desire. Now it's just some Xs and Os stuff. As a coach, that's what you want to see."
For local fans, there will be even more opportunities to follow the local squad with a number of home games at the new Bristol facility on West Street. A few of the games will still be played at Courtside in Harwinton, but Beverly said that the partnership with the Bristol Boys & Girls Club has given his program a home.
"They've been so great with us, and we've really built a good partnership with them," he said. "Last summer, we had a bunch of our student-athletes and members of our student body serve as mentors. We've chaperoned some of their dances, too. We really feel like this is a great relationship for both organizations."
Of course, it's the basketball that keeps fans coming. The Wildcats expect to continue to out-rebound and out-hustle regional teams. Beverly isn't counting out a return to the national games.
"I think we're just going to see how the region plays out," he said. "The key for us will be to maintain that togetherness that we saw in the second half today. They are a really close group, but it's a long season. We played over 30 games last season, and we're hoping to do the same this year."
Winter is already heating up at Lincoln College, and Beverly urges local sports fans to see what all the hype is about.
"We're an exciting team to watch," he said. "We care about each other. We're involved in the community, and it's fun because we keep playing no matter what."
Lincoln College fall to Sullivan County

September 13, 2004NVO Summer School1 Exploring VO Registries, Resources and Software with The NVO DataScope and Other VO Tools Tom McGlynn NASA/GSFC T HE US N ATIONAL V IRTUAL O BSERVATORY
September 13, 2004NVO Summer School2 Summary Discovery –Using the DataScope –Types of data resources and major sites –Browsing the data Access –How do we get it –Protocols Analysis –How do we use data –What programs are available –Standardized formats
September 13, 2004NVO Summer School3 What do astronomers want? Information on a particular source or sources –Is this candidate source object for a GRB extended? Could the X-ray flux for this source have background contamination? What is the radio flux of this source? Are there any nearby SNRs? Information on a class of sources –Which of these are QSOs? What is the average X-ray flux of the B-stars in the sample? Analysis of a given sample –Which of these stars have a common proper motion? How does a principal components analysis break down the sample? Analysis of correlated data –What are the brightest objects in the SDSS that do not show up in 2MASS (or vice versa)? Is there a statistical excess of IR flux at the positions of this sample of X-ray sources?
September 13, 2004NVO Summer School4 Resource Discovery Do you know if data is available? Are there resources in addition to the ones you know about? How do we select among multiple resources? VO registries are appropriate for answering these kinds of questions.
September 13, 2004NVO Summer School5 Starting the DataScope The NVO DataScope uses the VO registry to search for existing data at many sites. –Finds out what resources might be appropriate –Queries them –Organizes the results Start the DataScope Look at: A well studied source: 3C 273 A much less observed source: the last BATSE gamma-ray burst with RA/Dec of 06 40 55 -04 48.5 The DataScope caches information, so we can reuse the results from the last time someone tried this query.
Only required field User can select type of resources to be displayed. Starting the DataScope
September 13, 2004NVO Summer School7 What do we get? Cone searches – queries of positional catalogs Simple Image access – queries of archives of images or image generation services Some prominent resources: –NED: extracts information about extragalactic sources from the literature and publshed catalogs. Images are available as an SIA service and data about each source can be extracted using as a VOTable. –SIMBAD: Similar to NED but covering all objects. –ADS: links to astronomical literature. The ADS provides a pseudo-conesearch which gives articles that are related to given areas on the sky. –VizieR: the basic reference resource for thousands of astronomical catalogs mostly describing objects. The registry currently only has a few of the many catalogs in VizieR. –NASA Domain Archives: IR: IPAC provides image and cone search data for 2MASS and space based IR missions. Optical/UV: MAST provides image services for the DSS1 and 2 and cone search capabilities for the datasets archived in MAST. Most (all?) cone searches are linked to preview and/or archival data. High-energy: The HEASARC provides cone search services for its archive holdings with links to the data archives. Many object catalogs are also served with considerable overlap with VizieR. Microwave: The LAMBDA archive supports MAP and some other microwave datasets but is not yet indexed in the registry –SkyView: provides an image service which takes existing survey data and resamples and mosaics to get the image specified by the user. All spectral regimes from radio through gamma-ray are supported. SkyView provides an SIA service to its higher resolution datasets. –SDSS: a large multicolor optical CCD survey of unprecedented depth. Sloan data is avialable through cone and SkyNode services –GSC2.2/USNO: Deep all sky optical surveys based upon Schmidt plate data. These datasets are available through redundant though not usually mirror cone-search services. –ADIL: A library of astronomical images from all wavelenths but especially in the radio. Both an image and cone search query is supported. –CADC: Support for a number of ground and space observatories. Not all CADC datasets are currently available on the Web. –Mission specific archives: Chandra, XMM, NTT, …
Near 3c273
Starting an uncached query near the last BATSE Burst Trigger
After a minute we have searched about 250 resources in total.
After 3 minutes the search is pretty much done. There are many fewer observations that for a popular target like 3c273.
Many resources did not return data.
September 13, 2004NVO Summer School13 DataScope results organization Image archives (SIAP services) –Organized by wavelength Catalogs(cone search) –Queries of catalogs of observations Organized by wavelength –Queries of catalogs of objects Organized by object type –Other queries Queries that didnt return information
September 13, 2004NVO Summer School14 Browsing DataScope results Find resources that have information Look at full metadata for resources –Help documentation Quick look images –Look at images in the SIAP results First image is displayed by default but all quicklook data is accessible. –Look at catalog results for obervations and objects Link to archives and ADS –Click on HST observation link Click on Data links at the beginning of each line –Note the HEASARC and MAST IUE links Only the MAST link points to data since that is the Optical/UV domain archive. –Click on the ROSPUBLC observations and then on Data to get to the HEASARC archive. –Click on the ADS link and then on any of the bibcodes –These use non-VO methods to access archives but work is proceeding on agreeing on standards.
Registry Metadata for the DSS1 SkyView resource

September 13, 2004NVO Summer School25 Some concerns Duplicate resources –HEASARC and MAST IUE catalogs –Multiple USNO catalogs –ADIL as SIAP and Cone search Obsolete and superseded resources Too many resources?
September 13, 2004NVO Summer School26 Getting the data Three major VO protocols… –Cone search CGI simple positional query with VOTable result –Simple Image (Spectral) Access CGI initial query gives VOTable with URLs listing available datasets (data likely to be in FITS) –SkyNode SOAP VOQL (SQL-like) query with SOAP response. Not used in DataScope (yet!)
September 13, 2004NVO Summer School27 Access using DataScope VOTable and FITS data may be retrieved or sent to analysis tools Select resources by clicking on appropriate checkboxes. –Go into SIA (SSA) resources with multiple entries to select desired observations. –Select catalog queries or single element SIA (SSA) resources using top- level checkbox To download resources click on TAR selected resources …. –All resources are combined into a single tar file. … or send the data directly to Aladin or OASIS –May be limits on the number of datasets that can be sent Individual VOTables can be sent to VOPlot or VOStat Need to make more analysis tools available
September 13, 2004NVO Summer School28 Data Analysis Successful data analysis requires agreed standards for the meaning of the data. FITS WCS for image data VOTables with UCDs VOQL results Discipline standards (optical, IR, x-ray) UCDs may address this at lowest level. Probably the hardest part of the VO.
September 13, 2004NVO Summer School29 Image analysis using Aladin Select a few images and object catalogs and Start Aladin. Image overlays Object identification Guide stars Catalog cross-correlation
September 13, 2004NVO Summer School31 Image analysis using OASIS Similar to Aladin
September 13, 2004NVO Summer School32 Using fv and DS9 Data can easily be used in local software tools By setting appropriate handlers for FITS data, FITS viewers may be invoked automatically
Downloading a FITS file from NED into fv
September 13, 2004NVO Summer School34 Conclusions DataScope illustrates access to myriad VO-enabled data resources VO doesnt replace existing systems, it enhances their grasp and availability. There is a long way to go yet

|Lava fields from the road
|The trail look like a ghost path up this cinder cone
This is 750,000 acres of land which has experienced intermittent lava flows starting 15,000 years ago and ending 2,000 years ago. Shoshone oral traditions indicate that some of their ancestors witnessed some of the last eruptions. We drove along Route 20 where we could see what looked like fields of rough, black rock, interspersed with lava that had grasses and other plants growing on it. We spent an hour or more driving through the park (we love the Senior Lifetime National Parks Pass - Tom calls it the Golden Geezer pass).
|The landscapes can be eerily beautiful
|This outcropping is about the size of a house
|That is a big RV, to give you a sense of the landscape
|One can see why people who had only seen the moon
through telescopes thought the moon might be like this
Rather like Capitol Reef, there were not very many people at this park although as I recall, they said about 250,000 people visit it in a year. In the winter groups of school kids snowshoe into the park.
|Lava with lichens growing on it
Being in this park reminded me of our family visit to Hawaii in 1993. My mother, who had been diagnosed with terminal lung cancer, invited her adult children to join her in Hawaii. We took a day trip to the Big Island to helicopter over an erupting volcano. From the helicopter we could gaze into the molten magma through holes in the lava fields and feel the heat. We flew over the coast where erupting hunks of lava exploded and created steam as they hit the ocean water. It felt primeval.
Our trip to Craters of the Moon meant that we spent our 'down day' driving about four hours there and back to Sun Valley, but the dramatic scenery was worth it.
We ate dinner at the Pioneer Saloon in Ketchum, which everyone said must be experienced. It is a steak and potato place - Tom had the steak, I had the potato which was GIGANTIC. There was a mix of tourists and locals with lots of animal heads on the walls, including several mule deer trophies with 29 to 43 points (I know, odd numbers - the racks looked a bit deformed and were not matched on the two sides).
|Can you see the double rainbow effect?
|Birds were soaring below us and landing
on almost vertical rock faces
The next day we drove to Salt Lake City. We detoured slightly to Twin Falls, Idaho to see where the Snake River goes over the Shoshone Falls. The day we were there the flow was a little below average at 3000 cubic feet per second. The falls are 212 feet high, higher than Niagara Falls, but with much less water flowing over them. There is a dam above the falls to generate electric energy (and regulate the flow below the falls) just like in Idaho Falls. You can go on a website to learn the current river flow, and to see real-time video to determine if the water flow is sufficient to pay the $3 fee to get into the park and walk down to the overlook.
The falls are high enough that salmon and sturgeon can go no further up the Snake River, and before there were big dams lower down the Snake, this was a great fishing area for Native Americans.
Below is the view looking down the river from the same platform - you can see the power plant at the right edge of the photo to get some perspective.
|View to the west (downstream) of Shoshone Falls
As we drove to the park we passed a wide variety of homes. There were two massive homes with big fences and elaborate landscaping in the middle of relatively modest homes. As we crossed the river I took a photo out the window of the valley a few miles below the falls. It looks idyllic and you can see some of a golf course.
|Twin Falls bridge
We continued on to Salt Lake City. As Susie's husband, Henry, said, you drive about an hour through the suburbs of Salt Lake before you actually arrive in the city. We again benefited from a free room, this time at a Marriott right downtown as a gift from my friend, Karen.
It was Sunday night in Salt Lake City. We ate at the highly recommended Bambara at the Hotel Monaco, just a block from our hotel (thanks Nancy, for the recommendation). We then walked a few blocks up the hill to explore Temple Square. Brigham Young established the location in 1847 and the city streets are numbered from the square - 100 S. Street (1 block south) or 300 W. Street (3 blocks west) with an occasional 4th S. Street thrown in to keep you on your toes. So an address might be 3220 300 S. St., a bit confusing at first.
Temple Square holds the Tabernacle (where the Mormon Tabernacle Choir performs), the Temple, an Assembly Hall (which we entered briefly, just before 9 pm), the Family History Library, two visitors centers and gardens and statues. Lots of tourists, primarily Asian, were taking photos, and outside the Square there were a number of polite beggars. They would 'bless us' even if we didn't give them anything. I didn't carry my camera with me that night, so I have no photos.
As we walked back to the hotel we passed a large grocery store below the street level, not something you see in every downtown. Earlier we had passed an upscale shopping center behind doors, and Brigham Young's house, where each of his many (some report 55) wives had their own quarters. The population of Salt Lake City itself is only about 190,000, but there are around 2.4 million along the 120 mile corridor from Brigham City to Nephi including Ogden and Provo. The National Security Agency recently built a mega Data Center in Bluffdale, and the Kennecott Mine at Bingham Canyon is humongous and can be seen from the highway miles away. It still produces copper, gold, silver and molybdenum.
We never saw the Great Salt Lake, which is saltier than the ocean and getting ever saltier because while three rivers flow in, no rivers flow out. It loses water only by evaporation. Despite the salinity, it is an enormous sanctuary for water birds. Monday morning we chose to tour the Capitol Building, which I'll tell you about in my next post.

This year, we are again serving as a community partner to the Ann Arbor Film Festival, introducing next Thursday's screening of Eadweard Muybridge, Zoopraxographer the 1975 essay-film by Thom Andersen about the early pioneer of motion pictures.
Thursday, March 27, 3:00pm Michigan Theater Screening Room
This is a 35mm print, newly restored by the UCLA Film & Television Archive.
"Thom Andersen's first feature announced the arrival of one of America's most significant documentary auteurs. Eadweard Muybridge, Zoopraxographer is at once a biography of Muybridge, a re-animation of his historic sequential photographs, and an inspired examination of their philosophical implications." –Ross Lipman
"The Ann Arbor Film Festival is the longest-running independent and experimental film festival in North America, established in 1963. Internationally recognized as a premiere forum for independent filmmakers and artists, each year's festival engages audiences with remarkable cinematic experiences. The six-day festival presents 40 programs with more than 180 films from over 20 countries of all lengths and genres, including experimental, animation, documentary, fiction, and performance-based works."
