WASHINGTON (Sept. 4, 2013)—National Geographic has formed a new Travel Group that consolidates all of the 125-year-old Society's travel assets, including National Geographic Traveler magazine, National Geographic Expeditions, photo workshops and seminars, travel books, maps, apps, digital travel content and travel community. The new group is led by Lynn Cutter, executive vice president, National Geographic Travel.
"National Geographic has built up vast travel assets over the years, from our compelling travel editorial content to our unique access to people and places around the world to our thriving National Geographic Expeditions business," says Lynn Cutter. "By bringing together our publishing, expeditions and digital teams, we believe National Geographic Travel can harness these extraordinary resources and extend our leadership in authentic, meaningful and engaging travel."
The group's efforts are resonating with travelers. Expeditions' sales have increased by 80 percent in the past two years, traffic to the website is up 30 percent in the past 12 months, and the social travel community has doubled in the last year. Proceeds from all travel programs and products support the Society's aim of increasing global understanding through exploration, education and scientific research.
At a time when many media companies are moving away from print products, National Geographic is reinvesting in National Geographic Traveler magazine — increasing trim size, using heavier paper stock and unveiling a bold redesign with the October issue that allows for richer photography and a cleaner reader experience. The enhanced product will feature new columns from celebrated voices like Andrew Evans, National Geographic Traveler's Digital Nomad; Chris Elliott, one of America's best-known consumer travel experts; and leading sustainability expert Costas Christ, who will write a new column, "Trending." The redesign extends to the digital iPad/tablet version.
Keith Bellows, editor-in-chief of National Geographic Traveler and senior vice president of National Geographic Travel, leads the editorial vision for the group, and notes that, "National Geographic is a brand that inspires us to reach beyond our front doors to explore the planet and everything on it. Traveler is for real travelers and has long been driven by great photography and storytelling and an emphasis on culture, experience and authenticity. These are the principles that drive all of National Geographic Travel."
The National Geographic Society has long been an innovative leader in the travel space, pioneering initiatives such as the prestigious 25-year-old Traveler photo contest; the Traveler Writers Series, one-on-one live interviews with the world's best travel writers; the Places of a Lifetime series of magazine issues, apps and coffee-table books; the Apple-design award-winning National Parks app; and the "Travelers of the Year" program, which recognizes those who travel with purpose and to make a difference in the lives of others.
New hire Andy Coleman, vice president of digital travel, joined National Geographic Travel to shape strategy for creating a comprehensive travel experience for users. The new digital team rebranded all travel social media under one name, NatGeoTravel, across Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Tumblr. Among drivers of the digital and social growth are "Best of the World Weekly" destinations hand-picked by National Geographic Travel editors; daily "Travel 365" photos; tips from the field in the "Intelligent Travel" blogs; and programs like Digital Nomad, which has Andrew Evans traveling the globe and sharing stories in real-time through his Digital Nomad blog, Facebook and @WheresAndrew Twitter feed. The nomad franchise continues to expand with the addition of Urban Insider Annie Fitzsimmons.
Contributors such as Evans and Elliott will appear throughout National Geographic Travel properties. For example, Evans writes a column for the magazine, contributes daily posts and videos on his Digital Nomad blog, will take part in October's signature 125th Anniversary "125 Years of Exploration" private jet trip and wrote the introduction to the new book, "Four Seasons of Travel" (Oct. 15, 2013). Elliott, in addition to his column, is also the author of a new book, "How to be the World's Smartest Traveler" (March 4, 2014).

A lack of trophies will not ruffle David William Moyes on his unveiling as the manager of Manchester United. He represents the astute option in attempting to keep Sir Alex Ferguson's impossible succession as seamless as possible.
The Everton manager offers loyalty, continuity, an eye for a player and a playing style more attractive than he is given credit for at Goodison, where it depends on the resources he has available.
That is a net spend of roughly £800,000 per season over the past five years. Ferguson the former shop steward will have appreciated many other traits in Moyes's long journey through the ranks aside from an interest in golf and horses.
A fierce work ethic is one. The then 38-year-old was driving from Preston to Bristol to scout the Rovers striker Nathan Ellington on Wednesday, 13 March, 2002 when he took a call from Everton's chairman, Bill Kenwright, asking if he was interested in replacing Walter Smith.
Moyes continued to the game, drove from Bristol to London, convinced Kenwright he was the man in talks lasting until 5am, then headed back to take training with Preston North End on Thursday morning. That Thursday night he breezed into Goodison Park, christened Everton the people's club on Merseyside – to the immediate irritation of Liverpool – and began the process of restoring pride to a forlorn institution.
His industry has not diminished over 11 years. Goodison looks no different, which shows the board has failed to match their manager's drive. But Moyes has rebuilt Everton from within, lowering the average age of the squad, replenishing it on modest means and helping to establish a youth system that flourishes despite Liverpool, United and Manchester City spending millions to entice players away. On Wednesday he finished training at Finch Farm, Everton's £8m training complex with the youth academy on-site, a Moyes instruction, before being driven by his brother and agent, Kenny, to London to watch Chelsea versus Tottenham, Chelsea being Everton's opponents on the final day of the season and not another job opportunity.
An emphasis on youth development and playing youngsters – though there is often no other choice at Everton – will add to the appeal for United. So too Moyes's prudent, considered transfer acumen. At his first board meeting as Everton's manager, Moyes told directors they had erred with an aged transfer policy and needed to start again.
He inherited a squad including David Ginola and Paul Gascoigne, who was gone within the week, although Moyes delayed the transfer to Burnley until after his old club Preston had played them. Fortunately, Everton had Wayne Rooney exploding through. His sale to United sickened Everton yet stabilised its finances and though Moyes went to court over allegations in Rooney's autobiography, since retracted, the pair made their peace several years ago.
Everton's standing in the Premier League is light years away from what Moyes inherited 11 years ago. In the 10 seasons before Moyes's first full campaign, in charge Everton finished 13th, 17th, 15th, sixth, 15th, 17th, 14th, 13th, 16th and 15th. In the 10 years since they have finished seventh, 17th, fourth, 11th, sixth, fifth, fifth, eighth, seventh and sixth, providing Everton remain where they are – above Liverpool for the second successive season – over the final two matches of the campaign.
Moyes insisted after Sunday's Merseyside derby that the parochial spat with Liverpool counted for nothing and that only European football mattered. His body language suggested otherwise. To remain above the wealthier neighbours, who have spent almost £50m under Brendan Rodgers alone, does constitute achievement for Everton. Moyes has detractors at Goodison, no doubt, and the FA Cup quarter-final humbling by Wigan appeared a breaking point for many after a trophy-less reign and 45 visits to United, Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea without a win.
The following week, in typical Everton style, champions Manchester City were beaten with 10 men. Moyes punched the air towards the Gwladys Street stand on the final whistle. It may not have been entirely celebratory given the Wigan fallout.
The Everton manager is progressive and analytical. The football his team played in the first half of this season was arguably the finest witnessed at Goodison since the 1980s, before his pre-season warning over a lack of depth proved prescient. He is also one of the last "old-school" managers, who values the traditions of a club, keeps a protective arm over old players in trouble and is far from the gruff Scot he can often appear in television interviews.
"I'm quite embarrassed," Moyes told a few journalists he took out for a 10-year anniversary dinner last year. "I'm not coming in here with a couple of trophies to show people but I hope people have seen a good level of progression and improvement. It is very hard to be a manager of Arsenal or Manchester United for 10 years but they have chances of trophies which keep that going. To be at a club like Everton for 10 years is quite a tough thing to do. I don't feel under-rated. I just feel that, in life, if you do your job well people will say 'come on'. You get what you deserve."
He deserves the opportunity, and the resources, to answer doubts about his trophy-winning potential. It is to Everton's detriment it will not be with them.

Three proposals currently being considered for the $50 million Glendale-Hyperion bridge improvement project now include bike lanes on the 1,200-foot-long span linking Atwater Village and Silver Lake. But in order to make room for bikes, motorists might be squeezed into fewer lanes. Only one proposal calls for keeping all of the four existing traffic lanes. The other proposals envision only three lanes for motor vehicles, with one northbound lanes for traffic headed downhill into Atwater and two southbound lanes for motor vehicles traveling uphill into Silver Lake and Los Feliz. During a recent meeting of the Atwater Village Neighborhood Council, some residents and council members contemplated which neighborhood might fare worse if traffic is forced to be funneled through fewer lanes under a lane reducing road diet.
"I would be very worried for Glendale Boulevard businesses [in Atwater]," said one neighborhood resident at the meeting. "If you are going to have two car lanes [into Silver Lake] and only one [into Atwater], that's really going to prevent and really cut down business. I think the council should be concerned about that."
But one Atwater council member said Silver Lake might have more to lose in the form of increased traffic congestion as evening traffic on Hyperion would be squeezed down to two lanes as it hits the bridge. "It would probably worsen traffic in the Silver Lake area," he said. "For folks who live in Silver Lake, I think they would find it awful."
The Atwater council like others in the area are being asked to weigh in on the proposals before the city makes a final decision. How would eliminating a lane on the bridge impact traffic flow and congestion on surrounding streets? Know one knows for sure and the city is currently conducting a traffic study that will also be taken into account as the three proposals are evaluated.
The proposal that keeps two traffic lanes in each direction – as well as two bike lanes – includes a single sidewalk only on one side of the span, raising fears that pedestrians would simply walk in the bike lane or gutter. Many who expressed their opinions at last week's meeting seemed to prefer the proposal that included two sidewalks and two bike lanes. But providing room for sidewalks on both sides of the bridge – as well as leaving enough for bike lanes, buffer zones and a median strip – means a lane of traffic gets squeezed out.
"Something has to give," said Segio Lambarri, Government Relations Chair of the Atwater Neighborhood Council, which will eventually have to vote on which proposal it favors. "Either we lose a [traffic] lane or we lose a sidewalk."
But some persons – primarily cycling and pedestrian advocates – said losing a traffic lane would not be so bad. Eric Bruins, with the Los Angeles County Bicycle Coalition, argued that the loss of a northbound traffic lane into Atwater won't have a big impact on traffic counts because a long stretch of the road between Atwater and Silver Lake does not have signals, allowing traffic to flow freely. In fact, the reduction in northbound lanes might help slow down speeding traffic into Atwater, Bruins said. "It may actually calm the traffic going downhill going into Atwater Village," he said.
Others who favored the three-traffic lane option said the combination of sidewalks on both sides of the bridge and bike lanes would only strengthen ties and encourage pedestrian traffic between Atwater and Silver Lake. "We need to start connecting two cool communities," said activist Tomas O'Grady.

Hunger Reads: The Dangers In A Polarized Congress and The Campaign to Steal Ohio
So you're stuck in line at Chipotle, bored, behind on your news-reading—yet not exactly jonesing for another rehash of the headlines. Enter the Hunger Reads, our daily compendium of the political stories we think you'll actually enjoy reading. (At least more than reading the take-out menu over and over.)
_A Congress Too Polarized to Protect Itself, Bloomberg _
Even the Federal Election Commission, itself a parody of gridlock, takes the law into its own hands. If you wonder what legislation led to the explosion of undisclosed campaign donations to shadowy groups, the answer is "none." In fact, the McCain-Feingold legislation, passed in 2002, requires disclosure of such contributions, and the Supreme Court's Citizens United ruling explicitly presumed that disclosure would inhibit corruption. The FEC, however, had issued its own "interpretation of law" in 2007 that quietly gutted the law's requirements. The effects of congressional inaction radiate well beyond Washington. We have previously cited the economic costs of gridlock, including the blow to recovery delivered by last year's debt-ceiling debacle, a black eye self- administered by the House of Representatives. Similarly, congressional gridlock delayed a Federal Aviation Administration reauthorization bill last year, costing the government $300 million in airline tas and leaving 4,000 federal workers furloughed for two weeks. Tens of thousands of private-sector construction workers went without work or pay as well.>
When ideology and incompetence combined to weigh down a House highway bill this year, state and local governments across the nation paid a price in stalled projects, heightened uncertainty and decaying infrastructure.
The Campaign to Steal Ohio, Alec MacGillis, The New Republic
Ever since Mitt Romney closed the gap in many swing states, it has become clear that the 2012 election could hinge on Ohio. And if the margin there is narrow, scrutiny will fall on the voting process—especially in cities, which contain large African American populations and where accusations of both voter fraud and voter suppression are most intense. Stainbrook sits on the board that oversees elections in Lucas County, which encompasses Toledo and is the fifth-largest county in the state. Should things get messy on Election Day, it will be obscure local officials like him who'll make key decisions about who gets to vote and who doesn't. After drifting away from the music business in the 1990s, Stainbrook rose through the ranks of GOP politics in the county where he grew up, enlisting the help of tattooed, pierced pals from the Toledo club scene to get himself elected chairman of the local GOP. The elections board on which he now serves is made up of two Republicans and two Democrats, but over the past year, Stainbrook has carried out something of a coup. He oversaw a personnel purge in the office and installed a sometime girlfriend, Meghan Gallagher, as director. She got the job over the objections of a former Republican elections employee, who alerted the Ohio secretary of state's office that Gallagher had been arrested in 2002 for allegedly stealing Oxycontin from a patient's purse in a hospital room. Local Democrats also pointed out that, in 2008, Gallagher had been part of a group of Republicans who filmed voters as they entered polling booths in heavily minority districts—ostensibly to safeguard against voter fraud.

Last night, I got the FAL to the level it needed to be so that I could use select fire. And it was awesome. The fire rate on it is pretty slow on full auto, but it is much better than trying to spam the left click button on semi auto. The best part is that on Hardcore, it rifle essentally kills in one it. Basically a fully auto sniper rifle.
I ended up having a couple of my best games last night where I had close to 30 kills and around 10ish deaths. I never get near 30 kills in a match usually, especially with the score ending at 75.
Overall, I quite like this weapon. Now I think I am going to have to unlock it with my next prestige so I can use it all the way through the level.

National News Roundup
Most of the national reports on elementary and secondary education in America have neglected to address the "human and social factors" that affect children, according to the National Association of Social Workers Inc., whose 100,000 members serve school-age youths.
Summarizing the findings of a national survey of 500 social workers from 30 states, the group argues that "the interpersonal factors which contribute to excellence, and those human and social forces which may interfere with the attainment of excellence for all students have been largely overlooked. We submit that this view, as set forth, guarantees the failure of attempted reforms."
The report, "The Human Factor: A Key to Excellence in Education," outlines major "life forces"--such as teen-age suicide, depression, emotional disturbances, the rise of single-parent families, drug abuse, and child abuse and neglect--that social workers surveyed said constitute the greatest threats to educational excellence.
To overcome them, the report calls for stronger school-community collaboration, strengthened pupil services, increased parental involvement, and an emphasis on ear-ly intervention and prevention. The group also urges the development of strategies to overcome "barriers to excellence" erected by families, students, and schools, as well as communities, legislation, and funding patterns.

Sixty-nine percent of the 1,010 American workers recently polled by the National Committee on Pay Equity, a coalition of women's, civil-rights, and labor groups, said they believe women are not paid as fairly as men, and four out of five of the respondents said they support the concept of pay equity.
The survey, which the group says is the first to isolate views on the issue of pay equity, showed that "grassroots support of pay equity is strong and growing," according to Claudia Wayne, executive director of the Washington-based coalition. The poll was conducted in November by the Boston-based polling firm of Marttila and Kiley Inc.
"The poll shows that women and men care very much about fairness," Ms. Wayne said. "Their voices can no longer be ignored."
Among the survey's other findings: In unprompted responses, both men and women most frequently pointed to discrimination as the primary cause of the wage gap; 83 percent of the respondents said they think the wage gap is a serious problem that should be corrected; and 76 percent said the predominantly female teaching occupation is underpaid.

However family members encouraged me to go ahead, and yesterday the three girls came with me to choose a pup from a litter of collie pups born on a farm in Co. Antrim. So here he is: Finn at 9 weeks and 3 days old!
Both parents were working collies and half the litter had gone when we got there.... but the picture below was in the ad, and to me shows a truckload of healthy happy pups!
And of course home we came with a pup.... Finn!
There were only 4 pups left when we got there. Choosing was really hard, but I was warming towards this boy, when he then ran over and flopped down beside me and plonked his head in my lap... well that was it - he was sold!
Of course I didn't tell the farmer that I was so confident that I'd take a pup, that I had a first vet's appointment booked before we even left to see the litter!
And another round the living room
However there was another surprise - as Amy (my son Colin's girlfriend) decided she would go back up for the last bitch in the litter. Kerry had sent her photos when we were there....
They called in on the way home and Finn was very pleased to see her. This is Pixie ....
But two puppies are even harder to photograph well than one!
And finally Amy took her exhausted pup home.
And Finn settled into his bed for the night and we didn't hear another peep out of him til I went to check on him! Awww..... (Wonder how Pixie slept?)

Love Alters
Posted in Uncategorized on March 18, 2015| Leave a Comment »
Once again I've had the pleasure of discovering more about another writer who sparks my imagination with her new anthology, Love Alters, and her adventures trekking throughout South America with her husband and young children. Read on to learn more about Michelle Tupy, her writing, and her adventures.
Talk about living a life outside the box, Michelle Tupy, author of Love Alters, certainly accomplishes that on many fronts. What a pleasure it's been to connect with Michelle and learn about her work and her unique lifestyle. A content writer, ghostwriter, and self-confessed lover of words, Michelle, her husband and two young children are currently travelling throughout South America on an adventure and learning experience of a lifetime.
Interviewer: Debbie McClure
Q In your latest book, Love Alters, you write about the many ways people connect and fall in love. What inspired you to produce this book?
A In truth, it was my own love story which got the ball rolling. It was a story I had been meaning to write for quite a while but I didn't have enough substance to pen a whole book. While browsing a second-hand bookstore in Canada I stumbled…

Won't You Be My Neighbor? (PG-13)
Through archival footage of Rogers both on and off the set of his iconic show, as well as interviews with his family, friends and former crew members, Won't You Be My Neighbor? draws a flattering yet complex portrait of its subject, who died of cancer in 2003. As complimentary as Won't You Be My Neighbor? is, it's not hagiographic. Rogers, we're told, really was "like that" in real life -- slow, patient, kind. But he, too, was human, and he struggled with issues of self-esteem and even depression.
"What we see and hear on the screen is part of who we become," he insisted. In the face of political turmoil, it's tempting to throw up our hands and declare that there's just nothing we can do. But Rogers might insist that there is something we can do (besides vote): We can treat the people around us with dignity and respect. We can be good neighbors.

This unique modern birdhouse collection by Douglas Barnhard is inspired by contemporary home designs from 20th century.
These eye-catching birdhouses take inspiration from a mixture of mid-century architecture combined with California skate and surf culture. Each modern birdhouse has also been personally handcrafted by Barnhard himself in his Santa Cruz-based home decor design shop Sourgrass, and was constructed from high-end and re-purposed wooden materials locally bought and sourced from the surrounding area.
Besides being pleasant to look at, the work of Barnhard also stands out for its attention to detail. A noted stand out is the double birdhouse model, with its matching floor to ceiling windows and slanted metal roofs, that really makes these birdhouses feel more like miniature homes.

Paul Kedrosky points to a fascinating study that was written about in the New York Times magazine this weekend (it figures that the one time I put aside the mag without reading it, it will have a fascinating story in it), which looked at the theory of "cumulative advantage." This is also known as the Matthew effect — from the bible passage Paul quotes in his post — or the "rich get richer" effect.
Simply put, the theory is that if someone is popular — for whatever reason, be it real talent or just blind luck — he or she is likely to become even more popular, since people tend to gravitate towards things that are already perceived as being popular. In the study that is written up in the NYT magazine, a team set up a website where more than 14,000 participants signed up and were asked to listen to, rate and — if they chose — download songs by bands they had never heard of. Some of the participants saw only the names of the songs and bands, while others also saw how many times the songs had been downloaded by previous participants.
The results showed clear evidence of cumulative advantage, says one of the authors of the study:
In all the social-influence worlds, the most popular songs were much more popular (and the least popular songs were less popular) than in the independent condition.
At the same time, however, the particular songs that became hits were different in different worlds, just as cumulative-advantage theory would predict.
As the author notes, this kind of social influence — which might as well be called the Digg effect — "didn't just make the hits bigger; it also made them more unpredictable." And that definitely complicates the tendency to believe in the wisdom of crowds when it comes to music or just about anything else.
"Even if you think most people are tasteless or ignorant, it's natural to believe that successful songs, movies, books and artists are somehow "better,†… if only because "that's what the market wanted.â€
What our results suggest, however, is that because what people like depends on what they think other people like, what the market "wants†at any point in time can depend very sensitively on its own history: there is no sense in which it simply "reveals†what people wanted all along."
As Ethan at blackrimglasses.com points out, this is also known as a "power law distribution" and can be seen in all kinds of behaviour, both online and off.

In the midst of an expanding vortex of ideas at last weekend's Humanity Plus conference I retreated to a quiet corner for a couple of minutes to let my mind catch its breath. I found myself sitting across from a 19 year old geek (in the endearing sense of the word) whose body looked like it had led a sedentary life under fluorescent lights. After a day and a half of fascinating lectures on subjects ranging from cutting edge AI to nanotech and living forever, I wondered what peaked the interest of this fellow human from an emerging generation. Expecting another comment about the implications of being able to instantly modify mouse behavior by shining colored beams of light directly into its brain (which is extremely cool), I took pause with his reply. "Myostatin inhibitors" Myostatin is a protein that helps to break down muscles to ensure they don't become too large. Myostatin inhibitors dumb down its activity allowing muscles to become larger. The pharmaceutical company, Wyeth, has developed and antibody that performs this function but is not yet on the market.
I asked this kid why he felt he needed that. His reply, "So I can have bigger muscles." Me- "But, you can already to that without myostatin inhibitors." He- "Yes, but then I would have to work at it." We continued our conversation as I made a mental note to never hire this person.
As we grow older the gratification that one experiences from taking care of one's body is indescribable. It must be experienced. I have a hard time believing that the biotech or the cogtech world could ever simulate the mental fortitude or awareness that emerges from physical activity. Gently pushing the body beyond its comfort zone and learning to manage it with breath is to commune with all aspects of existence.
As we face our own physical limitations, our drive and fortitude to expand beyond those limitations grows. This resonates through every aspect of our lives. The superficial gains of exercise, such as reduced risk of disease, increased longevity and youthful bodies, pale in comparison to the depth of character that emerges from it. What precious traits of humanity will be unknowingly sacrificed as we evolve our world to effortlessly achieve more and more of what we consider an ideal?by

Fast Market Research recommends "Poland Consumer Electronics Report Q2 2014" from Business Monitor International, now available
Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/05/2014 -- Poland's consumer electronics market is expected to exhibit solid growth over the medium term, underpinned by a strong consumption story and demand growth in key device categories. There is, however, risk to the downside as a result of the deteriorating security situation in neighbouring Ukraine. However, our core scenario is for continued growth in consumer electronics spending, as we forecast a CAGR of 3.6% 2014-2018. We expect outperforming device categories will be smartphones, tablets and smart TV sets, driven by new technologies, consumers seeking choice and low prices offered by foreign and domestic chains. Meanwhile, we retain our bearish outlook for digital camera and notebook volumes in the short term, with these device categories under pressure from smartphone and tablet cannibalisation respectively.
View Full Report Details and Table of Contents
Headline Expenditure Projections
- Computer Hardware Sales: US$3.8bn in 2013 to US$3.7bn in 2014, -2.9% in US dollar terms. Unit growth is strong, but with consumers increasingly opting for low-cost sub-PLN600 tablets value growth is more subdued.
- Handset Sales: US$3.90bn in 2013 to US$3.93bn in 2014, +0.6% in US dollar terms. The market is forecast to exhibit slower growth in 2014 after the boom in smartphone volumes in 2012 and 2013, with price pressures in the Android ecosystem an additional squeeze on value growth.
- AV Sales: US$1.5bn in 2013to US$1.6bn in 2014, +5.2% in US dollar terms. Forecast in US dollar terms unchanged, with growth areas including HD TV, 3D and smart TV.
Key Trends & Developments
The smartphone market in Poland expanded rapidly in 2012 and 2013, with strong growth in volume and value terms. The availability of a wider variety of mid-range Android smartphones from 2012 was critical to a deepening of the market, and BMI expects continued competition in 2014 from Chinese Android vendors expanding internationally. Samsung Electronics and LG capitalised on market growth in 2012 and 2013, but we expect them to face stronger competition from Huawei, ZTE and Lenovo in 2014, which could affect their market shares and margins. One interesting feature of the Polish smartphone market is the popularity of Windows Phone handsets, where they reportedly enjoy a double-digit share of sales in the smartphone market.

Tuning package for two hybrids include suspension lowering, large-rim wheels and aerodynamic skirts all around.
Tuning a hybrid?
Why not?
Well, have a look at the photos here - they can be pretty convincing. It's hard to say that the optics tuning done by Kenstyle here doesn't improve the looks of the rather pedestrian Honda Insight and Toyota Prius models.
Of course, no mention of any tinkering under the hood. It's certainly a technical challenge to try to squeeze more power out of a complex hybrid set-up.
The tuning done here is mostly an eye-pleasing endeavor, although the suspension lowering, the large wheels and the aerodynamic paneling likely help improve road grip and handling. And they certainly make these two hybrids a more assertive visual presence on the street.
Definitely something to consider for those enviro-happy Hollywood stars so keen on hybrids. Other petrolheads can still dream of their favorite German diesels to placate their green-conscience.
There's always something for everyone.

Prep Basketball: Bulldogs end regular season with victory over Odyssey

KINGMAN – While many of his Kingman High School boys basketball teammates were celebrating with friends and family Wednesday night, Elijah Howery could be found deep in thought.
The senior had just scored a team-high 15 points in a 50-44 win over No. 34 ranked Odyssey Institute, but his mind was on a much bigger accomplishment.
"I still can't even believe it," Howery said. "For four years, everyone has been waiting for this moment – to go to state. It's feels great. It feels so good."
Bulldogs head coach Nick Juby shared those same feelings as he's looked forward to this day since he took over the helm before the 2015-16 season.
"It feels really great – it's awesome," Juby said. "This has been three years in the making. It's something we've been working towards. … I couldn't be happier. I'll be smiling for a week – or at least a couple of days. Then my brain will be, 'Alright, it's time to get locked in again.'"
No. 27 ranked Kingman (9-9, 5-5 3A West Region) guaranteed itself a bid to the 3A State Tournament by finishing third in the standings. While a loss to the Minotaurs (3-15, 2-8) wouldn't have knocked them out of postseason play, it was important to end the season on a high note.
"The guys didn't have any quit in them," Juby said. "They gutted it out. They're brothers. They're bonded for life. I couldn't be more proud of them to go out with a win on Senior Night."
It wasn't easy though, as the Bulldogs started off slow and fell into an early 17-10 hole after the first quarter. Kingman quickly recovered with a strong second quarter, but Odyssey continued to find a way to stay within striking distance.
"You have to give it to Odyssey – they were hitting a lot of shots," Juby said. "Once we took the lead at halftime, I said 'Hey, we got this guys.' We made the free throws we needed to make. I couldn't be more proud of them."
The Bulldogs went 4-for-6 from the charity stripe in the fourth quarter, and it proved to be the difference-maker as the Minotaurs inched within two, 46-44, at the 1:08 mark. But Howery made two at the line and then senior Christian Demme's basket sealed the win.
Howery was the lone Bulldog to finish in double figures, while Tobias Bagby scored eight and Tucker Humble added seven points. Seniors Anthony Siyuja (five points), Quanah Quasula (three points) and Demme (two points) also contributed for Kingman.
The Bulldogs find out their state opponent when brackets are announced at 4:30 p.m. Saturday. No matter where Kingman is headed, Juby is ready to make the trip.
"I don't care if I have to go to Mars or the moon, I'll go wherever we have to go because we're going to the state tournament," he said. "I'm excited. It'll be next Wednesday and it'll be fun because you never know how that bracket will shake out for us. It could be quite favorable."

Review: Nasty - The Prodigy
Can the Prodigy revive punk in 2015?
W!ZARD News AuthorTweet
After a six year absence, The Prodigy have returned in an effort to revive what they feel is the failing rave scene. Their latest single nasty does go some way in proving that punk is not dead. At first listen it does just sound like being shouted at by a drunk who thinks you're nasty whilst being pummelled with a fair amount of bass, but (perhaps against my better judgement) I begin to yield a certain grudging respect to the song. Amidst all the fury, the fragmentary yells and occasionally bonkers sound effects, there was definitely something worth admiring.
The track opens in a deceptively simple way, before exploding into full throttle as an echoing voice yells "so raw!". Just as you're about to question what this actually means, we're into the chorus, mainly consisting of angry cries of "NASTY, NASTY!". At first I stubbornly believed there was nothing clever about screaming a song's title at the listener, and perhaps there isn't, but the aggression is addictively genuine.
In the transition sections there's a stomping percussive thud, and as the song develops there's some rather odd sound effects. One of them is a whistling sound akin to a spaceship hovering above the studio, whilst a siren-like wail can be heard later on, presumably to restore order amongst the 'nasty' people. After the second chorus there is another baffling cry of "I ain't no tourist", before an odd string synth briefly adds an air of unexpected grandeur to the song.
It feels like it's all over in a flash, and the listener is left somewhat taken aback and slightly confused, especially if you've not listened to any of The Prodigy's songs before. It's certainly an acquired taste, and listening to a whole album of it would probably be rather exhausting and marginally painful. But for an adrenaline fuelled 4 minutes, you can't really go wrong with 'Nasty'.

Today's Gospel: Luke 12, 8-12 – St. Teresa of Jesus
St. Teresa of Avila lived a long life, and one filled with adventure. But that adventurous spirit also came with a price. As she traveled around her native Spain opening convents devoted to simple living and prayer, she consistently faced persecution from the status quo, including several run-ins with the Inquisition. The establishment felt that her call for simplicity in praying to Jesus was more of a temptation from the Devil than inspiration from the Divine.
Yet, Theresa persisted in her work and, consequently, had a profound influence on both those of her time and on us today. Surely, she took to heart Jesus's teaching in Luke on how to remain courageous under persecution — that to continue to acknowledge your love of Him even when others disagree with you is the greatest recognition of the Holy Spirit one can muster.
As I enter into the final month of my first pregnancy, my excitement about the arrival of my twin boys grows along with my trepidation about my ability to handle this whole motherhood thing. How will I manage two babies at once? What do I do when something goes wrong? What if loved ones and well-wishers give me advice that I don't want to take or don't agree with? I imagine that what I can do when faced with these fears is to follow St. Theresa's example and listen to my heart. If I keep Jesus and the Holy Spirit at the center of my life, then, as Theresa believed, everything else will take care of itself.
In what areas of your life do you need to release control and allow the Holy Spirit to teach you what to do?
Jesus, it isn't always easy to let go of control and wait for you and the Holy Spirit to show me the way. Please help me to slow down and hear in my heart your quiet wisdom and guidance.

The blacks, those magnificent examples of the African race who have conserved their racial purity by a lack of affinity with washing, have seen their patch invaded by a different kind of slave: The Portuguese. the black is indolent and fanciful, he spends his money on frivolity and drink; the European comes from a tradition of working and saving which follows him to this corner of America and drives him to get ahead.

DELAWARE, OHIO – Barbara S. Andereck, Ph.D., the Jacob S. Zook Professor of Physics and Astronomy, has been appointed as Ohio Wesleyan University's interim dean of academic affairs for the 2012-2013 academic year.
Andereck, a member of the Ohio Wesleyan faculty since 1985, will fill in for Charles L. Stinemetz, Ph.D., who has been appointed interim provost while the university conducts a national search to replace Provost David O. Robbins, Ph.D.
Robbins, the Homer C. Lucas University Professor of Psychology, joined the Ohio Wesleyan faculty in 1973 and has served as provost since 2005. He announced earlier this year his wishes to step down as provost to conclude his career as an active member of the teaching faculty.
Stinemetz, who appointed Andereck as interim dean, said she is exceptionally qualified for the role.
"For more than 25 years, Barbara has been in integral part of the Ohio Wesleyan community," Stinemetz said. "She is an inspiring role model for OWU students and colleagues alike. She is an innovative teacher, committed to providing a thorough and meaningful educational experience for every student fortunate enough to enter her classroom."
During her tenure at Ohio Wesleyan, Andereck has served on several standing faculty committees: University Governance, Academic Policy, and Teaching and Learning. She was chair of the Department of Physics and Astronomy from 1995 to 2001, served on the planning committee of the Schimmel/Conrades Science Center, and held various offices of the Ohio Section of the American Physical Society for a decade.
In 2006, Andereck was named associate dean of academic affairs for assessment and accreditation. In the same year, she was selected as a member of the Peer Review Corps of the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association. She guided Ohio Wesleyan through the self-study process for the institution's 2009 re-accreditation. She currently serves on the Institutional Action Council of the Higher Learning Commission, reviewing and approving requests and related reports for commission action. She earned her doctorate from Rutgers University.
Stinemetz was appointed acting provost on a temporary basis in fall 2011 and will serve as interim provost for the full 2012-2013 academic year. He has served as dean of academic affairs since he joined Ohio Wesleyan in 2006. His accomplishments include serving as co-chair of the group that developed the academic component of the university's institutional strategic plan and chair of the OWU Connection curricular plan committee.
An Ohio Wesleyan alumnus, he also has helped to reorganize or restructure the university's Sagan Academic Resource Center, Office of the Registrar, and Office of International and Off-Campus Programs. Stinemetz earned his doctorate from The Ohio State University.
Ohio Wesleyan President Rock Jones, Ph.D., said the university is fortunate to have both Stinemetz and Andereck to continue to advance the university's curriculum and to support students and faculty.
"We're excited to have an educational administrator of Chuck's caliber serving as interim provost," Jones said, "and his appointing Barbara as interim dean of academic affairs ensures that Ohio Wesleyan will continue to benefit from excellent leadership in its academic program. Both Chuck and Barbara are committed to supporting the work of the faculty and to offering an innovative liberal arts curriculum that prepares students for global leadership."

Ohio Wesleyan University is one of the nation's premier small, private universities, with more than 90 undergraduate majors, sequences, and courses of study, and 23 NCAA Division III varsity sports. Located in Delaware, Ohio, just minutes north of Ohio's capital and largest city, Columbus, the university combines a globally focused curriculum with off-campus learning and leadership opportunities that translate classroom theory into real-world practice. OWU's close-knit community of 1,850 students represents 47 states and 57 countries. Ohio Wesleyan was named to the 2012 President's Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll with distinction, is featured in the book "Colleges That Change Lives," and is included on the "best colleges" lists of U.S. News & World Report and The Princeton Review.

It was a busy morning. The plan was to be open for an hour before we head on a field trip to our local museum to check out the fossils. But before I opened I wanted to make some fossil cookies to surprise the children.
I prepped the dough in the school kitchen then went in to the classroom to find
something to use to make fossil impressions in each ball.
When I returned I was surprised to see the silly dinosaurs leaving their own
impressions in the dough.
Of course T-Rex couldn't help himself and needed to take a bite.

Dirty Little Secrets is about a girl who gets cornered by circumstance and has to think her way out. It's a fascinating, quick read that unfurls over a very short span of time, and the chapters give an hour by hour account of Lucy's ordeal.
The author does a marvelous job of portraying the heartbreak that comes along with having a parent who loves possessions more than her child. It's pitch perfect developmentally. Lucy's reached a stage where she realizes she's so far from being the center of her mother's world that she's practically a speck on the horizon, dwarfed by her mother's obsession with junk. She's carved out a little space in the house for herself. She avoids her mother--and wishes she felt more affection for her. But here are her thoughts when her mother accuses her of misplacing a pair of scissors:
It always came down to trying to find the right answer in a game where I didn't know any of the rules. If I didn't help look for the thing I supposedly lost, she'd be mad. If I touched any of her stuff, she'd be mad. It was just a question of what was going to make her less mad at any given moment. The exhaustion I always felt in these situations began creeping into my bones.Hoarding Disorder isn't actually in the DSM-IV, the diagnostic manual of mental disorders. However, it might be included in the DSM V, which is slated to come out in 2013 (there has to be sufficient research to justify Hoarding as a disorder separate from OCD). The proposed criteria for Hoarding Disorder pretty much nail the behavioral profile of Lucy's mother:
- Persistent difficulty discarding or parting with possessions, regardless of the value others may attribute to these possessions.
- This difficulty is due to strong urges to save items and/or distress associated with discarding.
- The symptoms result in the accumulation of a large number of possessions that fill up and clutter active living areas of the home or workplace to the extent that their intended use is no longer possible. If all living areas are uncluttered, it is only because of the interventions of third parties (e.g., family members, cleaners, authorities).
- The symptoms cause clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning (including maintaining a safe environment for self and others).
And wow, are they problematic.
I often talk with parents about their relationship with their children. We talk about how the conflict and behaviors on either side have actually damaged that parent-child bond, and we strategize about how to repair it. In Dirty Little Secrets, the author paints a picture of what it's like when that bond is almost completely corroded. Lucy feels its absence; she knows it should be there. But her mother's mental illness has eaten holes all the way through it, worn it away until there's nothing really there except a few good memories.
This is the story of a girl who feels utterly trapped, both physically and emotionally. How she gets herself untrapped is quite a ride. Some of Lucy's decisions seem extreme, maybe even controversial--but they make complete sense because the author delves so deeply into her perspective.
Have you read this book? What did you think of it? Have you read other books that included a parent with a severe mental illness? How was it handled?

Elephone P7000 Pioneer Review including sample photos, Antutu and gameplay videos
by Jun 11, 2015 10:24 am11
It has been just over a week now since I received my Gold Elephone P7000 and I have been using it as my daily driver, to give you all a real world review, if you have not already done so, you can check out my unboxing video via the link below.
The phone has a nice weight to it, not too heavy that it is a burden but not too light that it feels cheap, the gold colour is a nice almost matt finish that is pleasant to the eye and gives a stylish premium feel to the phone rather than being over the top and 'blingey'
On the front of the phone you will find the home button that features Harlequin lighting (more about this later in the review), proximity sensor, ear piece and 5mp front facing camera.
The bottom of the chassis has a small hole for the microphone and left and right holes drilled for speakers, with the rear case removed there is a small table that says 3D sound, whilst gaming the sound was very clear and has a decent amount of volume.
The rear of the phone is where you will find the fingerprint scanner, as well as the 13mp Sony camera and LED flash, the left side of the chassis has the volume rocker, whilst the right hand side has the power button.
When it comes to holding the phone I can pretty much reach all 4 corners one handed, but for users with smaller hands this won't be so easy, however two handed operation is also very comfortable, making the 5.5" screen an option that you will love if you are coming from a smaller screen size (my daily runner is a galaxy S5 but I now find myself looking at its 5.1" screen and seeing a phone that seems too small), gaming and web browsing are very enjoyable at 5.5″ much more so than my S5.
Initially after unboxing and having a quick play with the phone, I ran in to a problem 🙁 I tried to update the phone OTA as it showed new software was waiting, unfortunately the update did not work and an error message was given to say that wireless updates had been disabled.
After a little bit of searching and a message to Elephone things were back on track, the version of firmware that shipped on my phone was not compatible with OTA upgrades and I had to download and install a newer firmware via flash tools.
Before I updated the OS the first application that I fired up was AnTuTu v5.7.1 the phone gave a respectable score of 42628, something that improved with the software tweaks that Elephone released in the newest Rom, giving a score of 44963! a nice improvement putting the phone ahead of phones costing a fair chunk of change more.
Once installed it was time to have a quick play with the phone, my first impressions, it was very responsive and the screen very clear with no signs of light bleed through that has been a problem on other China phones.
I then set about installing apps and games, this was made al lot easier as the google play store comes pre-installed.
The Ui is pretty much stock android 5.0 and is nice and quick, transitions are smooth and apps launch quickly.
Elephone are really backing the development of custom roms for the P7000 and currently have a version of Vibe UI 2.5 available
as well as a port of CM12 that is nearing release,
something that should really help to get more devs on board and give users a great choice.
I have yet to install and try the Vibe rom but it does look very nice and apart from lack of capacitive key illumination and finger print unlock (and a few bugs here and there) is fully working including a full brightness levels for the screen (this is great news as it means that Elephone should be able to get full brightness on their rom as well).
The fingerprint unlock (something that I never use on my S5 due to the inaccurate and annoying swipe motion required) works great and is as accurate as my wives iPhone 6, it allows up to 5 fingerprints to be registered (something I would suggest is to set up left and right fingerprint unlock so that you can get in to it whilst holding the phone in either hand).
Off screen gestures are also useful, double tap to unlock is a personal favourite, as is drawing letters on screen to access functions such as camera and emails etc (my iPhone friends are more than a bit jealous of this).
Gps is very strong with initial lock on mine taking under 5 seconds whilst outside (found 19 of 22 satellites), I use Gps with maps a lot for work and it is very accurate and I would say faster than the S5, it is great to see that Mediatek have finally got GPS sorted in their latest soc's
Another nice feature is the Harlequin lighting option for the home button, this can be customised to flash in a variety of colours dependant on the application that has a notification coming in.
The camera on the P7000 is a Sony IMX214 unit and preforms really well, with fast and accurate focus lock.
Colour rendition is not bad and the pictures are sharp and detailed, hopefully with new firmware releases this will continue to improve, the camera on the phone has proven pedigree in other handsets and can produce great results.
Low light images are not bad either with decent illumination from the bright rear mounted LED ensuring graining is kept to a minimum.
I decided to give the P7000 a thrash at a couple of graphically intensive games that throw a lot of pixels at the screen and really punish weaker phones.
Real Racing 3 (a game that runs ok but not great on my galaxy S5), with great graphics and high levels of detail the game runs very smoothly and looks stunning, I need to play through a little further to get some quicker cars to see how the frame rates hold up, but for now I must say that the phone has impressed me on this one.
Asphalt 8 Airborne also runs really well making my S5 look very slow in comparison, gameplay is fast and smooth with no slow down or hesitation at all even when lots of cars are on screen.
If you want a phone to game, on the P7000 can handle anything that you can currently throw at it.
Battery life on the P7000 is really good, easily lasting a day with moderate to heavy usage.
My opinion of the phone is that it is well built and comes with a great specification for the price, the fact that Elephone include a flip case, tempered glass screen etc in the box is a really nice treat and will save you having to make the decision to save money or protect your phone (should save more than a few screens as well), something that I have done in the past to my detriment.
If your looking for a phone that packs a real punch in the performance stakes, without costing the earth, you could do a lot worse than the P7000

The U.S. Treasury Department says that the U.S. has signed intergovernmental agreements with both Canada and Hungary to implement the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act, or FATCA, in an effort to discourage offshore tax evasion.
The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) is a controversial piece of U.S. legislation that will impose potentially burdensome reporting requirements on U.S. taxpayers and on "foreign financial institutions". Under FATCA, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) could withhold 30% of all gross proceeds of a fund or investment where the end investor fails to prove they do not have a U.S. tax liability. The stated purpose of the legislation is to stop tax haven abuse by U.S. citizens and is a reincarnation of the Levin Bill slipped through by the Senate Tax Committee.
FATCA has provoked controversy abroad with foreign governments and banks, as well as U.S.-born expatriates and dual citizens, who have been finding it difficult to open accounts and do business at many banks.
In an effort to alleviate the concerns of foreign governments about their own bank secrecy laws, the Treasury Department has been negotiating a series of intergovernmental agreements under which it also agrees to share information about their citizens and residents who have accounts at U.S. banks.
The latest agreements were signed this week with the governments of Canada and Hungary. Agreements with Italy and Mauritius to exchange tax information were also recently assigned since December, the Treasury announced. So far, the U.S. has signed 22 intergovernmental agreements and has 12 agreements in substance to date.
Governments have two options for complying with FATCA. They can either permit their foreign financial institutions to enter into agreements with the IRS or they can themselves enter into one of two alternative Model IGAs with the U.S. Under a Model 1 agreement, FFIs report the relevant information to their respective governments, which then relay that information to the IRS. In contrast, a Model 2 agreement allows FFIs to provide relevant information to the IRS themselves, with government-to-government cooperation serving to facilitate reporting when necessary to overcome specific legal impediments.
Each of the countries in the Thursday's announcement—Canada, Hungary, Italy, and Mauritius—signed reciprocal Model 1 agreements. This means that the U.S. will also provide tax information to these governments regarding individuals and entities from their jurisdictions with accounts in the United States.
The US Treasury Department's FATCA page is here.
Guidance and FAQs from AIMA
Guidance on FATCA is available from the Alternative Investment Management Association (AIMA). It was published on 23 May 2013 and the link is here.
