Dance your life was the slogan of Isadora Ducan: "My art is precisely an effort to express in gesture and movement the reality of my being. In front of the public, who came in crowds to my representations, I never hesitated. I gave them the most secret impulsions of my soul. From the beginning, all I did was to dance my life." Ducan, recognized as the founder of modern dance, moved to Paris from the United States in 1900, and danced barefoot in ample tunics, inspired by the arts of Ancient Greece and refusing the rigid discipline of traditional ballet. Negating herself to be filmed, she became an inspiration to many artists, most prominently Antoine Bourdelle who would use her as a model for one of his major works, the bas-relieves of the Champs-Elysées Theatre.
It is these inter-influences, these inter-dependences, that the Paris Museum of Contemporary Art – the Centre Georges Pompidou, near your Hotel Louvre Marsollier, which we visited last year on another occasion – chose to explore in its current exhibition. How is dancing a prime material for the visual artist, and how are paintings made into dance? From 1900 to 2012, a series of unexpected relationships and collaborations are presented to the spectator in three chronological and thematic sections: dance as self-expression, dance and abstraction, dance and performance.
Over 450 works of arts, from Matisse's gigantic fresco, The Dance of Paris, to Olafur Eliason's games of space and light illustrate the arts' preoccupation with volume, light, weight, gravity and movement. Many live performances and movie projections (Vidéodanse) accompany the exhibition, keeping alive the idea that dance is the body as art and art as a body.

I want to take a brief break from Gannett coverage (I'm under slept, having stayed up half the night watching Montana returns roll in.) Last week I appeared in my first virtual Q&A, at a Wired event in our new Second Life digs. The topic, naturally, was crowdsourcing in general and how Linden Lab – the company behind SL – has used crowdsourcing to great advantage. It was great fun, and the audience asked several thoughtful questions, such as Mordant Kepler, who wondered whether minimum wage laws should apply in crowdsourcing. My reply, somewhat abbreviated:
I think there are policy frameworks that we haven't begun to work out. If I'm a turker in Bangladesh, what's my minimum wage? If it's in US dollars and the requesting company is incorporated here, I think the answer would be our minimum wage, but I'm not even sure you could enforce minimum wage on piecework like that, which explains why some people are -- rightfully -- worried about crowdsourcing's implications.
If that sounds like a long-winded way of saying, dunno, you're not far from the mark. In my defense, no one else knows either. But I think we're just seeing the start of this debate. At any rate, read all this and more on the Wired game blog. The beautiful thing about virtual public speaking is that it generates an automatic transcript.

films i watched....
on my recent trip to Auckland on the plane (stopover in hong kong so there and back = 4 flights)
Walk the line - superb....phoenix nails cash and resse witherspoon's oscar was well worthy!
Jarhead - I really enjoyed this...Jake Gylenhall is becoming one of my favourite actors
Goodnight and good luck - amazing movie...captures the period superbly and the acting is immense
shopgirl - quirky romance movie with claire danes and steve martin. I thought it was a beautiful film and made me want to marry claire danes even more!
Domino - something of nothing....passed a few hours but was not that good
Prime - chick flick with uma thurman that was quite pleasant...even had me a bit choked up at the end (must have been the lack of sleep and gallons of wine i drank)
Derailed - suspense with clive owen and jenifer aniston....some pretty raw moments and edge of your seat stuff at times...dodgy ending though
in her shoes - another chick flick with cameron diaz...not too bad, quite funny in parts
I've only seen Jarhead from that list
But yes, I liked it very much
Goodnight is the best film on that list.

If you've never been to a shabu-shabu or hotpot then leave all your preconceived notions at the door, Cocary Shabu Shabu is not your typical BBQ place. A mix of Chinese hotpot and Japanese shabu shabu, Cocary makes BBQ a much more arduous task. Instead of picking your meats and seafood from the menu, they make you stand up and pick the plates off some industrial size window fridges (4 in fact). And for just about $2 to $3 a plate, pick you meats, your seafood, your vegetables, your fruits, your condiments, and desserts of choice. And the rest is all up to you.
This is not where you just worry about cooking the meat to your liking, it's picking you grilling items plus boiling items too. In the middle of the grill comes a pot full of boiling soup, and with much Iron Chef-like style, go ahead and practice that skill and harness it with the mixing of your ingredients to come up with either a boom or a bust.
Beef, lamb, pork, chicken, salmon, button mushrooms, squid, prawns on the buttered grill? Sure! Tofu, quail eggs, rice noodles, corn on the cob, fish balls, crab, and clams in the hotpot? Why not? The possibilities are endless. In fact let's not leave Cocary without trying something out of our usual realm of comfort picks.
We, and by that I meant I, tried the pork intestines. Chewy, the usual acquired taste, nevertheless I thought it was okay. It was even good when I actually cooked it perfectly. The century egg is actually a favorite of mine, but not to the rest of the group. Although this one was not completely preserved to the black color I wanted but I have missed it terribly so it was a great delight devouring this plate all by myself.
And there's dessert. The taro flan has always been my go-to here; it's smooth, creamy, and with light yet obvious taro flavor. I had two, hurray diet.
We were slightly unsuccessful with flavoring our broth but it was definitely an experience I'd love a repeat of. It has been a VERY long time since I've had hotpot or shabu shabu so every bite had to linger much longer in the mouth. Whew. I was sweating bullets, but I wouldn't mind slinging that towel on my shoulder just to come back again.

Along with the computer and antibiotics, air conditioning is considered one of the most important discoveries of the 20th century. The ability to control temperature, humidity, dust and fumes in a variety of agricultural, commercial and industrial processes has a major effect on human comfort and performance.
It is therefore not surprising that the principles which form the basis of air conditioning are a crucial part of many engineering and science based courses. As we move further into the 21st century the need to reduce the power consumption, ozone and greenhouse gas emissions from air conditioning plant, further increases the requirement for study in this area.
PA Hiton Ltd was the first company to design and manufacture an air conditioning unit specifically for teaching purposes and we believe that our current product range maintains our position as market leader.
The Hilton A660 Air Conditioning Laboratory Unit is an expandable teaching and experimental unit that enables students to thermodynamically investigate the basic air conditioning processes of heating, cooling, humidification, de-humidification and air movement that are of fundamental importance to undergraduate engineers.
The addition of optional upgrades, which may be added at any stage in the units extensive life, allow students to investigate air re-circulation and mixing, computer monitoring, dynamic humidity and temperature control and the environmental control of a test chamber.
A661B Recirculation Duct Upgrade for A660 Base Unit allows the proportion of recirculated air to be varied and its effect upon the energy requirements for air conditioning to be investigated. Additional psychrometric measuring points supplied allow the enthalpy of two-mixed streams to be investigated.
Addition of the PID Control Upgrade A660C (Must be preceded by A661B) allows investigation of the individual and combined effects of Proportional, Integral and Derivative control of temperature and humidity and the components that are required for the process. Additional software allows the process to be computer controlled and monitored as in a Building Energy Management System.
A660D (Must be preceded by A661B) adds considerable realism to the air conditioning process by providing a significant volume that may be heated cooled and humidified either under manual control or by PID control with the addition of the A660C upgrade.
For studying the parameters influencing air flow in ducts and the methods of designing and commissioning such systems.

Olive & Beatrix: The Not-So-Itty-Bitty Spiders
What I've also noticed about Frances and Gloria is that they like to read both a large variety of materials, but that what they read is also on a variety of reading levels. Just because they can read harder books doesn't mean that is the best thing for them every day. That's why we love the Branches series by Scholastic - there is something satisfying about completing a book in one sitting. I find that Frances and Gloria still are building their reading stamina, and can get discouraged when they tackle longer books. They can build fluency in reading, no matter what they read.
I was so lucky to get this new title in the Branches series during the Cybils review process. I instantly fell in love with Olive and Beatrix, and so did the girls. I bet you will too!!
Olive and Beatrix are twins. The story is told from Olive's point of view. She sounds fairly matter of fact as she notes "Beatrix make look like an ordinary girl, but she's not. She is a witch." (p. 2). Olive breezes right on to point out that "I may also look like an ordinary girl. That's because I am. I'm not a witch at all." (p. 3) These twins are not identical, but Olive is okay with that. Each page of this particular spread has a picture of one of the girls with some important things pointed out. While Beatrix has a talking pet pig and a "head full of tricks", Olive has pet bugs and a "head full of smarts". Even from the introduction, you can tell that Olive doesn't feel that Beatrix's talents outpace her own.
By the way, the whole becoming a witch thing? Olive explains that Beatrix is a witch because she was born precisely at midnight on a full moon. Needless to say, Olive was not. But instead of magic spells and tricks, Olive loves science. She and her best friend Eddie are always working on a project. While they are experimenting, though, Beatrix is always playing tricks on them and causing their ideas to go haywire.
Olive and Eddie get tired of Beatrix's mischief and decide to play a trick of their own. They know that Beatrix is afraid of spiders, so they plan to dump a whole pile of them on Beatrix. And their plan works perfectly! The problem comes when that gaggle of spiders runs through a growth potion Beatrix had conjured up. It takes all of them to help contain the not-so-itty-bitty spiders!
As I mentioned before, these twins are very different. Olive is confident in her science and her brain. Olive has Eddie, and their friendship seems collaborative and supportive. Olive operates very differently than Beatrix. I wouldn't exactly say that Beatrix is the bad guy here, but it's pretty clear that she doesn't have close friends like Eddie. She has her talking pig, Houston, who comments on the action wryly - when Beatrix is screaming, covered in spiders, Houston calmly steps over to Beatrix's dropped phone and announces to the caller "Miss Beatrix will have to call you back." (p. 14) - but that's all she has. Beatrix seems bossier, not as friendly. It takes some effort for her to work with Eddie and Olive to deal with her overgrown spiders. Even then she peppers her dialogue with insults ("Step aside, dull skulls!" (p. 37)) I will be interested to see how these girls' relationship progresses through the series - will they learn to meet in the middle? Become friends, even? We'll have to wait and see.
One of the things I love most about the Branches group of titles is the diversity of text and illustration within each book. In The Not-So-Itty-Bitty Spiders , there is such a great mix of text and illustration, keeping readers on their toes. Even though there is only a line or two of actual text on each page, Stadelmann incorporates text throughout the illustrations too. There is a map to examine, with captions to help the reader get situated. There is dialogue in many of the pictures too, giving this a graphic novel feel. Readers are absorbing the plot and characterization without spending a lot of time on the text. It makes the book feel breezy, not onerous.
And this brings me back to my original thoughts about reading. Frances and I are reading Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets out loud. As we all know about the Harry Potter books, each chapter can take a long time to read. We read for twenty minutes, and maybe get through five pages. So it's fun to be able to read something like this, too. The Branches series also can successfully tempt the reluctant reader with a book that is a chapter book, yet there is a manageable amount of text for them. The reading level assigned by Scholastic is Grade 2, but I can see the plot appealing to a much wider range of readers.
I love the illustrations in this book too. The palette is a little dark and moody - greens, grays, and purples - which keeps it from feeling too girly. It is attractive to girls, with the twin sister angle, but would also appeal to boys with the magic and science emphasis (and I haven't yet mentioned the cool inventions Olive and Eddie come up with!). The illustrations have a good deal of humor in them as the three join forces. Magic and science don't always work well together, and that is evident in their adventures! Both Beatrix and Olive wear comfortable clothes for what they need to do - tunics, leggings, and no-muss hair styles. These are can-do girls and they'll take charge!
This is a series that we will definitely be watching. I can't wait to see what else happens to these twins. I am so glad it was nominated for a Cybil award so we could read it.

"While financial advice can be valuable, it is not a necessary condition for all savings and investments that are suited to people's individual needs and circumstances. For example, Catmarked products and stakeholder pensions are products whose standards mean that investors should be able to get a good deal without needing to pay for financial advice." – Treasury economic secretary Melanie Johnson.
This quote is taken from a letter that was publicised in Money Marketing. Following hard on the heels on the announcement that stakeholder pensions can be sold outside the current polarisation regime, IFAs should be in no doubt as to the Government's agenda. It is desperate for stakeholder pensions to work even if this means they are flogged on the high street without any advice at all.
This thought should be enough to frighten the life out of anyone who understands the complex nature of pensions. Although some aspects have been simplified by the new regime, the overall structure is still incredibly complex. There is a wide range of issues that will not be covered by decision trees. For example:
What impact will the proposed contribution have on the minimum income guarantee?
Should all the investor's pension arrangements be considered?
Should the contribution be carried back and should it be used to mop up any remaining unused relief?
For those wanting to contribute the maximum, can they utilise earnings in the last five years to achieve higher contributions?
Do existing AVC arrangements give entitlement to tax-free cash?
Should the investor contract out?
Do older investors understand the implications of investing for a short period and buying an annuity when rates are at historically low levels?
Has the tax position of both spouses been evaluated?
Would the investor be better off using an existing personal pension for life cover and incapacity benefits?
Do the default fund and any associated lifestyle options make sense?
Should the investor use an Isa instead?
Does the stakeholder pension provide good value relative to personal pensions?
Although the low income and low premium end of the market will not be affected by many of these issues and may be able to get by without any advice, the vast majority of people who will take out a stakeholder or personal pension will need advice on these issues. The potential for misbuying is enormous. This will be complicated because most investors will probably believe they have received advice unless hawkers of stakeholder pensions are required to declare verbally and in writing that they have not provided any advice.
Some idea of the problems that can arise can be gleaned from the fallout that followed the last Government-inspired "sign 'em up" campaign that followed the introduction of personal pensions in 1988. Apart from the problems associated with opt-outs and transfers, considerable problems still persist with many contracted-out cases.
Back in the 1980s, the irresistible combination of the 2 per cent incentive payment, annuity rate assumptions based on 10 per cent interest, single-premium charges and reversionary bonus rates of over 12 per cent meant that advice was in many respects simpler than it will be for stakeholder pensions.
As a result, males aged under 45 and females aged under 40 were signed up en masse into with-profits arrangements, secure in the belief that the odds in their favour were so good that they could not possibly lose out.
Since then, gilt yields and with-profits reversionary bonus rates have collapsed to such an extent that anyone who used a with-profits personal pension to contract out may now be struggling to beat Serps. This represents the best possible example of why investors will always need advice, irrespective of how good the structure of a product may appear.
Against this sort of background and the lacklustre performance of Cat-standard Isas, one is left wondering why the Government and the FSA are making it so easy to sell stakeholder pensions. One thought that comes to mind is that the Government may simply be reacting to the lead it is getting from those companies which have staked their whole pension strategy on stakeholder pensions. This could explain why Cat-standard Isas, where there are relatively few advice issues, were not treated in the same way as stakeholder pensions.
If anything, there was a stronger case for leaving stakeholder pensions within the polarisation regime than Cat-standard Isas. A cynic might argue that the actual decision had little to do with providing a secure framework and more to do with doing what the distributors asked for. After all, Autif was against any change for Cat-standard Isas while the banking arm of the ABI was in favour of taking stakeholder pensions out of polarisation.
Having said that, maybe Johnson is doing IFAs a favour in providing a subtle hint to anyone requiring advice – if you want advice, then a stakeholder pension is the wrong place to find it.
Now that policy fees and exit charges have disappeared from the personal pension scene, comparisons between stakeholder and personal pensions are very similar to the Catmarked and non-Catmarked Isa position. This being the case, it is difficult to see why any IFA should be concerned by comments such as these. After all, they do not have to use stakeholder pensions and the PIA has set out the rules for recommending personal pensions.
All IFAs have to do is to justify that any personal pension recommendation is at least as suitable as a stakeholder pension.
It is that simple. They must simply make sure they recommend personal pensions that are clearly differentiated from and add real value above that provided by stakeholder pensions. Let the defections begin.

I have been playing Slime Rancher for a couple of days now and have beaten the game unlocking the end credits. (Day 100+) After hearing about the Vaults of treasure left behind I set out to find them. I found all 3 and opened 2 but when I arrived at the last vault door I realized I didn't have a Slime key to open it! (I've also opened every other gate/vault door in the game) Realizing that I didn't have a Slime key to the last available door for me to open I then spent the next 30min-1hr+ retracing my steps across the areas where I had already fed the Gordos that give you Slime keys. I even looked on the internet to see if there was anything I missed. In the end I went across ALL of the Gordo positions hoping to find a key that I may have missed, but to no avail. I'm not sure if I missed one of them and it despawned or something, but I am 100% positive I checked all Gordo locations and found nothing. So now I'm stuck with one last treasure room that I literally can't get into. Please help!
Just wanted to say I love the game and look forward to future updates, keep up the good work :)

Revealed: 2014 Audi RS5 Cabriolet – Detroit 2013 – Kelley Blue Book
Revealed: 2014 Audi RS5 Cabriolet – Detroit 2013
Originally presented at the 2012 Paris Auto Show last fall, the new Audi RS5 Cabriolet makes its first appearance in full U.S. trim at Detroit. On sale here in the spring as a 2014 model, this high-velocity drop-top offers the same kind of scintillating performance as Audi's electrifying RS 5 Coupe but puts an al fresco spin on the formula.

Like its hard-shelled sibling, the 2014 Audi RS 5 Cabriolet boasts an edgier look to match its more potent powertrain and ultra-spec suspension. In addition to a multi-layer power soft top that deploys in 15-17 seconds at the touch of a button and tucks neatly under an integrated hard tonneau, the RS 5 Cabriolet gets several unique cosmetic tweaks. Up front, they consist of minor changes to the grille and fascia detailing complemented by the fitment of lightweight aluminum fenders.
The rear transition is more apparent, bringing revamped quarter panels, a unique fascia/diffuser, twin elliptical exhaust outlets, a fixed-position matte-carbon decklid spoiler in place of the RS 5 Coupe's retractable unit and revamped LED taillamps.
Inside, the Audi RS 5 Cabriolet's driver-centric cabin reprises the look of the RS 5 Coupe with chrome, carbon fiber and aluminum accent elements setting off a basic black motif that includes a flat-bottom multifunction steering wheel, deeply bolstered sport buckets trimmed in Nappa leather and Alcantara and alloy sport pedals. When the aft quarters are not occupied, the rear seatbacks can be flipped down to add a touch more practicality to the mix.
Sole powertrain for the 2014 Audi RS 5 Cabriolet is the 4.2-liter/450-horsepower naturally aspirated V8 backed by a 7-speed paddle-shiftable S-tronic dual-clutch automatic transmission. Shipping power to all four corners via the latest version of Audi's famed Quattro all-wheel drive system, that combo can take the RS 5 Cabriolet from 0-60 mph in 4.9 seconds and on to an electronically limited top end of 174 mph.
To ensure that motive might is put to best use, the new RS 5 Cabriolet gets bespoke structural reinforcing as well as a full sport suspension with unique stability control mapping and Audi Drive Select function configurability. More demanding enthusiasts can upgrade the car's bigger standard brakes with carbon ceramic units, swap its 19-inch forged alloys and 265/35 high-performance tires for 275/30 rubber on 20-inch wheels and opt for Audi's sport suspension with Dynamic Ride Control.
Pricing for the 2014 Audi RS 5 Cabriolet will be announced closer to its official on-sale date.

Here are our top tips, tricks and secrets of the Motorola Moto X.
How to get the Nexus 5 interface on the Moto X
One of the slight disappointments of the Moto X is that it does not have the Google Experience interface used in the Nexus 5. Instead, it has the plain old 'normal' Android KitKat interface used in the Nexus 4.
There is a way to unlock the Google Experience UI in the Moto X, though. You just need to download a special apk installer file that acts as a loader for the launcher (which is actually already on the phone). Android Police has the file. And we've tried it. It works.
Transfer it to the phone's internal memory then use ES File Explorer (or another file manager app) to find and run it. Once installed, when you press the home button you'll be given the choice of which launcher UI to use.
Don't try to remove the back cover
One of the key design differences between the Moto G and the Moto X is that the X has a non-removable backplate, despite being pretty similar in terms of how it's made. Having foolishly tried to see if the back does come off our Moto X, we can confirm that the rear is glued down.
It's part of the reason why it feels a bit nicer in-hand than the Moto G, without any of the creakiness of that cheaper one.
How to turn off Active Display
The Moto X's OLED display means the phone can use its Active Display feature without killing the phone battery. However, it does have an impact on stamina.
You can turn Active Display off completely in Settings > Active Display. There's a tick box for the feature that acts as a global switch for the notification.
How to customise Active Display notifications
If you don't want to kill Active Display completely but do want to reduce the amount of battery it drains, you can manually select the notifications that make Active Display fire up. This handily lets you remove any email accounts that are mostly spam, and any notifications you simply don't care about.
We recommend turning off game notifications as they are mostly nonsense messages to try and get you playing again. You'll find the checklist of Active Display apps in Settings > Active Display > Manage notification types.
Get the Google keyboard for faster typing
One of the first tweaks to make with the Moto X is the keyboard. The Android keyboard that comes pre-installed just isn't quite good enough in our book. However, the very similar Google keyboard (free from Google Play) is. It offers gesture typing, the one big omission from the 'Android' version.
If you don't like either, other keyboards worth checking out include Touchpal (free), Swiftkey and Swype. However, we're happy with the Google tapper.
Essential apps to download
The Moto X is not loaded with apps fresh out of the box. Part of its strategy is to keeps things simple, virtually guaranteeing good performance and a nice, clean UI.
It does mean you'll need to download a bunch of apps to get going, though. Our top picks include Whatsapp, Facebook, BBC iPlayer, Spotify, Flipboard and TuneInRadio. They're all free (although some offer paid-for premium versions).

Penalties for repeated convictions for possession of marijuana would be dramatically reduced under a measure working its way through the Louisiana House. Repeat offenders -- those convicted only of marijuana possession -- also would no longer face sentencing as habitual offenders.
House Bill 103, by Rep. Austin Badon, would drop the maximum penalty for a second conviction to one year and cut 18 years off the highest sentence for all additional convictions.
The committee unanimously agreed to send the bill to the House floor.
Badon and other supporters of the measure argued that reducing the penalties is not just a moral issue but a move that could save taxpayers money because the state will no longer be paying to keep pot smokers behind bars for long stretches.
"They're clogging up the jails right now and the taxpayers have to pay for it," he said.
Those found guilty of first offense possession of marijuana can now be sentenced to a $500 fine, six months in jail or both. Those penalties rise to five years in prison and a $250 to $2,000 fine for a second offense and up to 20 years in prison and the possibility of a $5,000 fine for each additional conviction.
Badon's bill keeps the sentence for first offenses in place but scales back the penalties for subsequent ones. A second conviction would no longer be a felony and would be punishable by up to a year in jail, up to $500 in fines or both. Subsequent convictions would be punishable by up to two years in jail, a fine of up to $2,000 or both.
The version of the bill sent to the House would also prevent individuals from being sentenced as a habitual offender if all their convictions are for marijuana possession. State law allows those convicted of three or more felonies to be given lengthier sentences.
The reduced sentences originally would have applied to sentences for possession of synthetic marijuana as well. However, that provision was removed by an amendment to the bill.
District attorneys raised several issues they had with the bill as they appeared before the committee. Of particular concern was a provision that would allow those already serving sentences for possession to seek "reconsideration" from a judge to shorten their prison time.
That could strain the resources of prosecutors, who would have to review those cases, and the court system as a whole, Louisiana District Attorneys Association Executive Director Pete Adams said.
"It's a massive cost to the court system, massive tie up of trial and docket time," Adams said.
Badon said that was a small price to pay.
"We've heard a lot about reconsideration, it just bothers me that the sentiment is not to allow people to have a fair judgment on their prior sentence after this bill would have passed," Badon said. "We want to leave them in jail away from their families, away from their employment simply because it would cost more money and they'd have to hire more staff."
District attorneys said they also worried that a lack of harsh sentences for repeat offenders could cause problems. Avoyelles Parish District Attorney Charles Riddle
The more than hour-long discussion of the bill veered off the topic of sentencing at several points and into a discussion marijuana at several points and into Louisiana's large prison population and the racial disparities in incarceration.
"There's a lot of people incarcerated in this state and 80 percent of them look like me, that's the reality of it," said Rep. Terry Landry, a former superintendent of the Louisiana State Police, who is black.
Other committee members spoke out against harsh sentences for personal use of marijuana.
"I don't smoke, I've never smoked, but if you want to go to your house and smoke marijuana that's your business as far as I'm concerned," Rep. Dalton Honore, D-Baton Rouge, said.
He later suggested that opposition to that position was based mainly on concern about public perception.
"If you let the persons in this room vote - give them a secret ballot - the majority of persons in this room today will vote for this bill," Honore said.

Comedian Kevin Hart, who has recently appeared in The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Little Fockers and Scary Movie 3, has formally filed for divorce from his wife of nearly eight years, Torrei.
The legal docs state that the couple was married on May 22, 2003, and separated on February 5, 2010.
The former couple have two children, 5 year old daughter, Heavenly, and a son, Hendricks, who is 3.
Hart cites irreconcilable differences for the split, and is seeking joint custody of the children. Kevin is asking the court to not give any spousal support to Torrei.
The 31-year-old is also asking that his estranged wife not be allowed to leave the state of California with their children without his permission or a court order.

So you've got some criticism back from your writer's group or your beta readers, and now you don't know what to do. How do you know what advice to take and what to leave behind? How do you know what will help and what will harm?
For starters, there are two main flubs you'll want to consciously avoid making:
This can happen if you consciously or subconsciously think you know more than all your reviewers (in which case, why did you choose them?), or if you are too sentimental about your work and just cannot emotionally handle making a needed change. Another possibility is that you're looking at the changes you need to make and saying to yourself, "It's too much work. What I have is good enough." Do you really want it to be good enough, or do you want it to be good? Chances are, you want it to be good.
Giving your work completely over to your reviewers and trusting them over your own sense of the work is going to get you in trouble. Your reviewers bring their own vision to your work, and if their vision doesn't line up with your vision, you need to recognize that and stay true to what you are trying to accomplish. You can't make everyone happy, but you can make you happy. YOU have to love your book. You are the one who is going to send it off to agents and fight for it against all the rejection slips that are bound to pile up. You have to believe in your book more than anyone else does. If the changes you are making are going to make you not love your book or not believe in your book, don't make them.
So how do you walk the line between the two extremes? How do you know which changes will be best for your story? Here are some ideas to consider:
- If you never have before, pick up a book on story structure, outlining, story theory, or revisions. There are a lot of them out there. A good understanding of what makes a story appeal to your reader will help you see the ways your novel works and the ways it does not—which will help you interpret the feedback you've received.Here are some titles I've found helpful.
– Wired for Story by Lisa Crone
– Rock Your Plot or Rock Your Revisions by Cathy Yardley
– Structuring Your Novel or Outlining Your Novel by K.M. Weiland
- There's power in numbers. If multiple reviewers are all in agreement that, for example, character Z is unnecessary, then either character Z probably is unnecessary and should be removed OR you have failed to show the significance of character Z and you need to figure out how to do that. Either way something needs to change regarding character Z. The direction you take your changes is up to you, but multiple people saying the same thing is a red flag that there's something amiss.
- One person's opinion is just one person's opinion. You should consider these singular insights carefully in case your reviewer noticed something everyone else missed, and you can always poll your other reviewers if something someone said is particularly troublesome… but don't change everything to please just one person. If you AGREE with the reviewer, maybe she found a gaping plot hole, then you will want do something about that—but a lot of the things that these insights will bring up are just options. Seeing them helps you expand your sense of possibilities, which may help you find the right path when you're making the truly necessary changes…. but don't try to turn your book into something you never intended it to be just because one of your reviewers has a different vision than you do.
- Ask yourself: How would the change you're considering affect your plot? Does it make your protagonist more or less invested in the outcome of the plot? Does it help keep the tension growing throughout your story? Does it make your protagonist's actions more or less important to outcome of the plot? Overall, is this a change that would benefit your story on a plot-level?
- Ask yourself: How would the change you're considering affect your theme? Does it provide your character with an example that might change the way she thinks about the world and more specifically about her immediate issue? How does that affect your character's motives? Does this change affect what your story is about overall? Is that what you want? Overall, is this a change that would play into your story's theme?
- A note on grammar. If you've got some discrepancies between you and your reviewers about how to punctuate your sentences or the meaning of a word, do yourself a favor and don't just assume the other person is right (or vice versa). Look it up. There are lots of grammar resources available online, and a quick internet search will tell you what you need to know.

Life, Above All
- Tom Dawson
- 20 April 2011
Director Oliver Schmitz succeeds in making this more than just another 'issues movie'
(tbc) 100min
Set in the South African township of Elandsdoorn outside Johannesburg, this forceful coming-of-age drama concerns a 12-year-old girl, Chanda, (Khomotso Manyaka), whom we first meet helping arrange the funeral of her baby sister. Her drunken father Jonah (Aubrey Poolo) has cleared out of the house and the condition of her HIV-positive mother Lillian (Lerato Mvelase) is fast deteriorating. The God-fearing locals, who believe that AIDS is a form of divine punishment, however, increasingly ostracize Chanda's family.
In adapting Allan Stratton's novel Chanda's Secrets, director Oliver Schmitz and screenwriter Dennis Foon ensure that Life, Above All doesn't become an earnest 'issues' film. Impressively shot on HD video, it conveys a vivid sense of a community, while ensuring the focus remains on Chanda's own experiences: important here is her loyal friendship with another stigmatised figure, the child prostitute Esther (Keaobaka Makanyane). The non-professional Manyaka is outstanding in the lead role of the truth-seeking girl, who boldly dares to confront the bigotry of the adult world, and the stirring resolution feels hard earned rather than manufactured.
Selected release from Fri 27 May.

Hardly worth having the contest now.ReplyDelete
Just let's give Spain the cup. They need a bit of cheering up right now.
PS: This is the tournament that will not be graced by anyone from the UK/English government, isn't it? One wonders how they will cope without one of Mr Hunt's ministers there.
They haven't, I see, managed to persuade the EFA to stay away. I wonder if Ukraine will still go to their Olympics...

For the benefit of the Scottish Labour party's greetin-faced unionists, shouldn't three of these scores be amended:ReplyDelete
France 0-1 Britain
Sweden 0-1 Britain
Britain 1-0 Ukraine
You just have to apply the same logic here as they did with those memorable events of last summer. They weren't English riots, they were 'British' riots.
After all the 'excitement' of the Jubilee 'celebrations' and the Olympic torch ceremony, I'm not sure how much more of this lukewarm afterglow of 'We're all in it together' I can take. As ever, it's ABE for me but if there is any justice, which occasionally there is in football, it's got to be Spain, but to be beat Netherlands in the final, 3-1.

It is a double whammy for Naveen Jindal.
One, the government capped the subsidised LPG cylinder sales at six per year as against his requirement of more than one a day; and now Stakeholders Empowerment Services (SES), a proxy advisory firm, has asked institutional shareholders of Jindal Steel and Power to not allow him to raise his own salary.
How do you think he can pay for the cooking gas he badly requires for whatever reasons?
A proposal to revise the salaries of whole-time directors of JSPL will be put before shareholders in the company's AGM on Wednesday, according to a report in the Economic Times. It is this plan that has come under attack from SES.
The advisory firm has circulated a note on the proposal in response to the media reports that Jindal was the highest paid executive-Rs 73-odd crore-in the country in 2011-12, the ET report said.
SES said Jindal got 92 percent of all the payments made to the entire board and his payment is around "25 times the pay of the next highest paid director, Vikrant Gujral", according to the ET report.
SES has said this is a corporate governance issue. The company's salary policy is not transparent, it has said.
The development is bringing back into focus the issue of CEO salaries in India. There are no laws in the country that links CEO salaries to his company's performance. The fact that most of the Indian companies are family-run and have promoters as CEOs adds to the opaqueness.
As pointed out by SES, there is an issue of conflict of interest if the board revises the remuneration of its whole-time directors. In JSPL's case, Jindal is also a whole-time director.
A suggestion towards scrutinising CEO salaries recently came from SEBI Chairman UK Sinha, when he said the market regulator may ask companies to set up remuneration committees headed by independent directors.
However, it remains to be seen how effective this move will be. JSPL has no such panel in place, according to the ET report.
Until SEBI comes out with a concrete plan, intervention of such activist advisory firms are likely to be the most effective.

Being a recent college grad can be an overwhelming experience, but having a degree like construction management can lead to a direct career path that offers financial stability and room for growth. Sundt Project Engineer Dominic Nelson and Field Engineer Daniel Kovach chimed in with their thoughts on the value of their construction management degrees.
Construction management degrees allow individuals the opportunity to explore multiple aspects of the building process.
"I have always been fascinated with architecture and design, but knew that I wanted to be more hands on in the process of building, so I decided to try out construction management. I enjoy the business and engineering sides that a degree in construction management allows you to experience without locking you into a certain avenue of design or business," said Dominic.
"After researching the industry and the many different routes I could take, I decided I wanted to learn more about the construction side rather than the business side," Daniel noted.
What was their take on how the construction management degree prepared them for their roles at Sundt?
"Classes that helped me included Small Business Management, Leadership Cohort, and my Senior Capstone Project. Each of these classes, while different, taught core values behind being an effective leader, communicator, and business developer/entrepreneur," Dominic stated on his personal experience.
"I took all kinds of classes to help prepare me for this role with Sundt and I really credit that to the Construction Program at CSU. I took estimating classes, schedule classes, CAD design classes, MEP classes, and many others," added Daniel.
Are you a construction management student? Sundt recruits aspiring young professionals through its College Connection Center. If you are interested in working at Sundt contact Mike Morales or follow us on our Sundt College Connections LinkedIn page.

I met up the other week with this adorable couple, and their precious son Henry, at two of my favorite places in the Akron area – downtown Hudson and the Cuyahoga Valley in Peninsula. They kept telling me that they were NOT photogenic people, but with their natural good looks and their obvious affection for each other, I think that I would beg to differ. 😉 So put together fabulous shoot locations with a gorgeous couple (and babe!), and you get some rockin' engagement shots. Here are a few of my favorites from the afternoon.
You guys are a wonderful couple! Best of luck with the rest of your planning for your Mexico nuptials!

Is an Emmy Award next for New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio ?
The mayor made a cameo as himself in Sunday night's episode of CBS' "The Good Wife," a legal and political drama set in Chicago.
During the episode, a character played by actor Nathan Lane is riding in a New York City taxi. De Blasio loudly extolls the city's virtues in a commercial shown on a loop on the cab's back-seat television.
This prompts Lane to ask his cab driver to turn off the video, saying "the mayor won't stop talking."
It's de Blasio's first acting job since taking office. He has described himself as an "intense" fan of the show.
"The Good Wife" is loosely inspired by another New York Democrat, former Gov. Eliot Spitzer.

Crop Protection Chemicals Market in Latin America 2015-2019
|TechNavio (Infiniti Research Ltd.)
|英文 95 Pages
|作物保護用化学薬品のラテンアメリカ市場:2015年〜2019年 Crop Protection Chemicals Market in Latin America 2015-2019
|出版日: 2016年01月06日
|ページ情報: 英文 95 Pages
Technavioa's market research analyst predicts the crop protection chemicals market in LATAM to witness moderate growth at a CAGR of around 7% during the forecast period. The increased farming of biofuel crops in Latin American countries is driving the growth of this market. Biofuels are sourced from energy crops that comprise wheat, soybean, corn, rapeseed, and sugarcane. APAC, Latin America, and MEA are expected to drive the demand for biofuels reducing the dependence on conventional fuels and their imports.
The increased regulations on the usage of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) is anticipated to fuel the growth of the market during the forecast period. POPs are chemicals that are resistant to environmental degradation and accumulate in the food chain. The 2001 Stockholm Convention onA Persistent Organic Pollutants banned the use of POPs, such as DDT, and any kind of insecticide and pesticide that can act as a pollutant for agricultural purposes as they pose severe risks to human and animal health. This initiative has led to the use of environmentally friendly insecticides that can undergo biodegradation and have minimal impact on the environment such as pyrethrums and pyrethroids.
The synthetic crop protection chemicals dominated the market with a share of 92% during 2014. These chemicals can be further classified as organophosphate pesticides, carbamate pesticides, organochlorine insecticides, and pyrethroids.
The report offers an analysis of each of the following segments and discusses its impact on the overall market growth -
The herbicides segment dominated the market during 2014, with a market share of around 46%. The report predicts the herbicides segment to reach a market value of around USD 8 billion by the end of 2019. The expanding agricultural industry especially in Brazil, Argentina, and Chile, is driving the growth of this segment.
The report offers an analysis of each of the following segments and discusses its impact on the overall market growth -
Cereals and grains accounted for nearly 46% of the overall market during 2014. The rapid change in the diet pattern of people across the world has propelled the growth of this segment.
The report offers an analysis of each of the following segments and discusses its impact on the overall market growth.
The crop protection chemicals market in LATAM is dominated by international vendors. The introduction of energy-efficient agricultural technologies in developing countries is spurring the market growth. The competitive environment in this market is expected to intensify further due to an increase in product/service extensions, technological innovations, and mergers. The report anticipates international vendors to grow inorganically by acquiring regional or local vendors during the forecast period.
The leading vendors in the market are -
Other prominent vendors in the market include ADAMA, Arysta LifeScience, FMC, Marrone Bio Innovations, Novozymes, Nufarm, and Sumitomo Chemical.

We bought a tray of kiwifruits as my daughter loves them. Unfortunately, but not surprisingly, they were over ripe (i know, i know, thats what you get when you buy a tray).
I was already planning to cook some muffins with my daughter so i decided instead to make kiwifruit muffins. I did a quick online search and actually there are quite a few recipes out there so I perused and decided what ingredients I would use.
I wanted to make them on the healthy side so i used part wholemeal flour and natural yoghurt.
The final product I thought was delicious, they didn't rise much so the muffin was quite dense but very moist and still soft. My only criticism is the sugar - i used 1/2 cup as often kiwifruit is on the tart side but in this case 1/4 cup would have been sufficient.
My husband took them to work (so that i didn't eat too many!) and he said he had a mixed response, some loved them but they were not to every ones taste.
Mini Kiwifruit Muffins Recipe (makes 36 mini muffins)

What an unusual flavor! I'm trying to thinknabout whether vie tried a kiwifruit flavored cake before or not! :)ReplyDelete
That was such a nice way to use your ripe kiwis. They look delicious!ReplyDelete
These really sound delicious. Kiwis are difficult to find at this time of year but I think I know a market where might be able to get them. I really want to bake these. They are unusual enough to be interesting. I hope you have a great day. Blessings...MaryReplyDelete

Pathway from UNSW JD to Oxford BCL or MLF
UNSW Law and Oxford University Faculty of Law have signed a memorandum of understanding to give UNSW JD students the opportunity to graduate with two internationally recognised qualifications in just three and a half years. Students will spend 2.5 years at UNSW and 1 year at Oxford.
Oxford University's highly regarded Bachelor of Civil Law (BCL) and Masters in Law and Finance (MLF) will be open to applications from UNSW JD students in their fourth semester of study at UNSW. Successful applicants will complete their fifth semester at UNSW and then undertake a full academic year at Oxford.
On completion, students will be entitled to receive a Juris Doctor (JD) from UNSW and a Bachelor of Civil Law (BCL) or Masters in Law and Finance (MLF) from Oxford University.
Oxford BCL
The Bachelor of Civil Law (BCL) is a world-renowned taught postgraduate course in law, designed to serve outstanding law students from common law backgrounds.
Oxford MLF
The Masters in Law and Finance (MLF) was launched in October 2010. It is jointly taught with the Saïd Business School, and offers outstanding students with a legal background the opportunity to integrate the study of finance with advanced legal study.
UNSW JD students may apply to Oxford for the BCL or MLF during their fourth semester of study at UNSW (usually second semester of second year).
Applications for the BCL or MLF will be based on four semesters of academic results in the UNSW JD, and will be assessed on the regular BCL and MLF admissions criteria, without preference over other candidates for admission. Offers of admission will be conditional upon the student's results in courses undertaken in their fifth semester at UNSW. Students must have completed all core courses in the JD at UNSW by the end of their fifth semester.
Applications will be due in January for commencement at Oxford the following September following completion of five semesters of the JD at UNSW.
Application dates for the Oxford BCL/MLF degrees can be found on the Oxford University website.
On successful completion of the BCL or MLF at Oxford, UNSW will normally award the JD degree by granting students one semester (24 UOC) of credit in electives, therefore requiring no further study at UNSW.
Students will pay regular tuition and other applicable fees to the University they are attending and will be responsible for all living, travel, insurance, and ancillary costs in connection with their studies. Students will be entitled to apply for bursaries, scholarships or other financial aid offered by the University they are attending in a particular year and for which they are otherwise eligible, including all scholarships provided by the Oxford Law Faculty for which students from UNSW are ordinarily eligible.
Further information
Students interested in applying for the Oxford BCL/MLF degrees can consult Professor Brendan Edgeworth for advice.
If you have any further questions, please contact UNSW Law Student Services email@example.com or on 02 9385 2264.

• Performance buttons with visual feedback Backlit multi-colour soft-touch 'dice' buttons, ideal for performing Cue point and looping functions, provide constant visual feedback of their status. • Default set-up for Serato Scratch Live Dicer is pre-programmed to take advantage of the cue point and looping functions in Serato Scratch Live, including 'Hot Cues', 'Auto Roll' and 'Loop Roll'.
Novation DICER Cue Point & Looping Control for the Digital DJ Serato Scratch Live has a new partner: The Novation Dicer. Developed with Serato, this palm-sized cue point and looping controller has been designed to fit exactly where you need it: on your turntables, CDJs, mixer or laptop. Dicer always ships in pairs - one for each side. Plug Dicer in, slot it on your turntable/CDJ, and you can instantly set cue points and use them to trigger 'Hot Cues'. Or, flip Dicer into 'Auto-Loop' or 'Loop Roll' modes, to trigger loops, or 'roll' sections of the track to create climaxes, drops and glitchy breaks. Each 'mode' illuminates Dicer's pads a different colour, so you can instantly see what mode the pads in, even in dark clubs and venues. The forthcoming Scratch Live 2.1 update will automatically map the Dicer to these functions and provide full LED feedback - red for Hot Cues, green for Loop Roll, and amber for Auto-Loop. Dicer can control all cue-point and looping functions in the current version of Serato Scratch Live 2.0. This requires you to simply 'learn' cue-point and looping to Dicer's pads, using Scratch Live's MIDI-learn function. The public beta of Scratch Live 2.1 is available now, click here for details. Dicer's buttons can also 'learn' other software functions. So, you can assign different FX to the pads, or trigger samples over the top of your mix, or even browse tracks in your iTunes library! Dicer was designed by Novation in collaboration with Ean Golden - DJ and curator of DJ Tech Tools. Ean came up with the concept of a controller that fits on the turntable, and his contribution has been crucial in helping Novation design and develop Dicer. Dicer does not come with its own software, it works in conjunction with Serato Scratch Live or other DJ software such as Traktor Scratch Pro.

I already showed you the Glinda palette here, and I was unable to resist her darker and smoker counterpart for too long. Behold,Theodora:
Included with the palette are a Super Saturated gloss pencil, an instructional card, and a 24/7 eyeliner pencil.
The back:
Theodora is largely comprised of neutral browns with a couple fun contrasting colors.
Swatches came out closer to the real coloring than the palette pictures did.
Once again I am impressed with Urban Decay's latest release. Theodora has a beautiful combination of shades in a pretty package. Most of the eyeshadows (except the black side of Spell) are rich and smooth to apply. The lip color is not really me, but I love that they included it to complete the look. I hope to get a couple looks with each palette up in the next week.

PISCATAWAY, NJ – Piscataway, N.J. has been a hotbed for athletics. And while most of the athletes in town have gone on and had success at the pro ranks for football in the NFL like Malcolm Jenkins (Saints and Eagles), Kyle Wilson (Jets and Saints), Anthony Davis (49ers), and others, a new young star right now is finding success in something else, judo.
Meet Colton Brown, a 24 year-old judoka who recently punched his ticket to the 2016 Summer Olympic Games in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil.
The road to Rio has been a long one for the 90kg (198-pound) 6-foot-1 Brown. Originally playing the dominant sport in town, football, donning the black and gold like many before and after him as a kid, Brown broke his leg and never put on the pads and helmet again.
So how did Brown get into judo, which isn't exactly a trendy sport of choice in Piscataway. It is all because of his father, Jeff, who competed in the sport himself.
"Judo isn't very popular in Piscataway, but it is extremely popular worldwide," said Brown to TAPinto Piscataway, who lived in town until he graduated from PHS in 2009 before heading off to San Jose State on scholarship to advance his judo skills. "My dad [who still lives there] forced me to do judo after I sustained an injury playing Pop Warner Football and gained a bit of weight.
"When I started at the age of 11, I was terrible," he said. "I had no enthusiasm to do it and I would try to purposely lose matches. I did this with the hope that my dad would get fed up and take me out of the sport, but that didn't happen."
But then something clicked.
"About a year later, I found myself at the Junior National Championships down in Florida actually enjoying myself," Brown said. "I ended up winning that tournament and then watching the Summer Olympics later that month. I remember staying up late to watch the man who is now my coach, Jimmy Pedro, win a Bronze Medal (at the 2004 Olympics in Athens, Greece). That was the moment that I realized that I wanted to compete at the highest level possible in the sport."
Brown first learned from the great Yoshiada Yonezuka, or Coach "Yone", a two-time United States Olympic Team coach at the Cranford Karate and Judo Center for six years. And instead of going to college right away, Yone encouraged him to go to Japan and train at Nihon University, spending four tough months on the other side of the world without knowing how to speak the native language.
"I trained six-to-seven hours per day which was the hardest experience of my life," Brown said.
But in addition to his experience in Japan, Brown actually got to help train the 2012 U.S. Judo Olympic team, which gave him the inside track to possibly compete for Team U.S.A. this year in 2016.
"I got the opportunity to go to the Olympics in 2012 (in London) as a training partner and 2016 Olympic hopeful," Brown added. "That experience changed my life and made me want to go to the Olympics (and compete) even more than ever before."
Even as the youngest member of the six-member U.S. Judo Team along with (Kayla Harrison, Marti Malloy, Angelica Delgado, Travis Stevens, and Nick Delpopolo), Brown is well decorated, finding success in a sport he cared little for when he first started. There were too many accomplishments for him to even remember.
"I've made two Junior World Teams, two Senior World Teams, three Pan American Teams," he said. "I am a five-time senior national medalist, eight-time World Cup medalist, Silver medalist at the (2016) Pan American Championships, Gold medalist at the Junior Pan Am Championships, [and a three-time NCAA national champion and captain at San Jose State among others]."
Coach Yone, who was obviously one of Brown's biggest inspirations and one who believed in him passed away in October of 2014. But another man, his dad, is Brown's biggest inspiration who changed his life forever.
"I talk to my father on the phone every day no matter where I am and he coaches me and talks me through hard times," Brown said. "He stays up until 4 a.m. to watch me when I am competing overseas. He has never missed one of my matches and is willing to support me in every way possible.
"When I was younger, I wanted to be just like my father, and nothing has changed. He is the biggest reason that I have gotten this far in judo. When I am tired during training, I think of him and what he would do in that situation and it gets me through it. He is the definition of hard work."
Brown is currently in the final stages of training and working hard up in Boston but still occasionally returns to Piscataway any chance he gets.
And of course, just like every athlete who makes the trip to Brazil, Brown wants to return home with a medal.
"I feel the best I've ever felt," said Brown who is officially ranked as the No. 27 judoka in his weight class in the world and No. 1 in the U.S.A. "I just want to push myself to be the best possible version of myself (at the Olympics) I think with that mentality, the results will come."
He also can't wait to represent his country, his state, and his hometown of Piscataway in South America. And the residents of the town can't wait to cheer him on.
"It means the world to me to be able to represent my country at the highest level possible," Brown said. "I am not longer just competing for myself, there is a bigger purpose.
"I love the town of Piscataway. It always amazes me that such a small town always seems to produce such great athletes. It's great to know that I have an entire town of family and friends supporting me as I prepare to compete at the highest event on Earth."
For those who are unaware of what judo is, according to olympic.org, "Judo is derived from Jui-jitsu, the hand-to-hand combat technique of ancient samurai warriors. It involves throwing opponents to the floor and holding them into submission."
The 2016 Summer Olympics runs from Aug. 5-21 with judo spanning from the 6th-12th.

The man purse is a reality boys so just get over it, realize that often times you have as much crap as us chicks so just put it somewhere already! The messenger bag is a completely acceptable option that your boys will just have to deal with. Hell, they probably own one, take it out, dance around with it in front of the mirror and then let their insecurity overshadow their need and put it back in the closet.
This style of bag is not only a lifesaver for men, but it is my personal purse of choice on days when both of hands are extremely needed. For most people, especially women with babies, this is an everyday occurrence. Stop the ugly bag madness and pick up a stylish and completely functional messenger bag for yourself!!!
The reality is that we will always have stuff, lots and lots of stuff. The day when they make a wallet that folds up from a tote to the size of your back pocket will be a glorious occasion. I will be the first to tell the world of this miraculous product, but until then you are forced to look stylishly secure carrying around this universally awesome bag. Don't be scared, pick a material that suits your needs and style capability. Vinyl is a great choice for the more casual man while this camel leather works for a more evolved (male) fashionista. Either way, remember that your buddy that makes fun of you probably still has his mother shopping for him:)

IKEA joined Europe's ongoing horsemeat scandal Monday after Czech inspectors announced finding equine DNA in "Kottbullar," the furniture retailer's famous Swedish meatballs.
Czech officials say they detected the horsemeat before the meatballs went on sale locally.
But meatballs from the tainted batch were also sent to Slovakia, Ireland, Hungary, France, Portugal, the Netherlands, Belgium, Spain, Italy, Greece, Cyprus and the U.K.
An IKEA spokeswoman said all meatballs from that batch were immediately removed from shelves. She also said IKEA had tested its food products two weeks ago and found no traces of horsemeat.
IKEA sells its meatballs cooked in store cafeterias or frozen in 1kg (2.2 pound) take-home bags. About 760kg (1675 pounds) were reportedly pulled before going on sale.
The company is now conducting independent tests to verify the Czech inspectors' results. Meanwhile, all IKEA Sweden stores will stop serving meatballs due to "potential worries among our customers."
Read more about the European horsemeat scandal.
And why it might not be that big of a deal.
