HIGHLAND PARK, NJ - The mother of the 14-year-old accused of killing her newborn in Highland Park this week has been charged with two counts of endangering the welfare of a child in the second degree and one count of tampering with physical evidence in the fourth degree. The woman, 35, of Highland Park, was arrested after the death of a newborn baby on April 16, 2018.
Middlesex County Prosecutor Andrew C. Carey and Chief Stephen Rizco of the Highland Park Police Department announced the arrest and charges in a press release issued today.
The investigation by Detective Sean McGraw of the Highland Park Police Department and Detective Erik Larsen of the Middlesex County Prosecutor's Office has determined that the woman on two occasions endangered the welfare of a child because she neglected to seek medical attention for her daughter. She also has been accused of tampering with evidence where a crime was committed.
The woman's name is being withheld at this time in order to protect the identity of her juvenile daughter.
The police were alerted on April 16, 2018, that a newborn was discovered outside of a residence on Lincoln Avenue in the borough. The infant was rushed to Robert Wood University Hospital in New Brunswick where the baby was pronounced dead, says the release.
The investigation is active and continuing. Anyone with information is asked to call Detective McGraw at (732) 572-3800 or Detective Larsen at (732) 745-3263.
As is the case with all criminal defendants, the charges against the woman are merely accusations and she is presumed innocent until proven guilty.

One of the most dramatic offerings from Fall 2011 is Estee Lauder's Modern Mercury Collection, particularly the Pure Color Illuminating Powder Gelee in Modern Mercury ($40). The texture is a very soft powder with pigment that seems to absolutely leap onto your applicator. The shimmer is a strong pearl tone that has an unbelievable dimension and shine.
At first I assumed that this multidimensional wave of shimmer was an overspray. I think I'm wrong. We've dug down pretty far and that's the color still. It's shockingly pretty if you love pearly shimmer.
Although the word "Gelee" is used in the product name, the powder block is firm and has not "gel bouncy give" of the Chanel Illusion D'Ombre gel eyeshadows released this Fall. Rather, the powder pan bears a closer resemblance to Chanel's Ombres Perlees eyeshadows released for Spring 2011.
Estee Lauder's Modern Mercury Illuminating Powder Gelee is more than a highlighter. Rather, it deposits a layer of soft peach color. In fact, Estee Lauder's Modern Mercury adds enough opaque color to the cheeks with the lightest of brushstrokes to act as a subtle blush on pale skin tones. Today, I wore it as a soft blush/highlighter alone on my NC15/20 Chanel Cameo skintone. Why did I think this was a highlighter?
Here are comparisons with Estee Lauder's Modern Mercury Illuminating Powder Gelee with a few highlighters in my collection. First, Modern Mercury is much more opaque than the very sheer fairy-dust Estee Lauder Pure Color Night that was a very limited release last year. I played with swatches from the two lightest shades from Chanel's Ombres Perlees palette (the white and the peach/pink as marked, below). Of all of my powders, I found that Modern Mercury bore the closest resemblance to the Chanel Ombres Perlees. In addition, I've swatched Nars Albatross, which is not as shimmery or pearly as Modern Mercury. Finally, I've added Chanel's Pearl Glow from the recent Le Blanc release. I found that Chanel's Pearl Glow as more transparent, more gold pearly and had a harder pan texture compared to Modern Mercury.
Because comparisons for highlighters are hard to capture, I did several different swatches under different lighting conditions. Here, in sun:
Indoors with flash:
It takes almost no effort to build up the peach color that you see in these swatches. Indeed, that color is what you get with the lightest touch of this very soft, high shimmer pigment.
On the left, Liz is wearing Burberry Tangerine alone on her cheeks and no eyeshadow (complete breakdown is here). On the right, she added Estee Lauder Pure Color Illuminating Powder Gelee in Modern Mercury to her upper cheeks and her eyelids. You can see how much more color is on her cheeks and her upper lids:
You can see the added color:
Yes, Liz also changed her lip color (more on that in another post).
Overall, I have to love Estee Lauder Pure Color Illuminating Powder Gelee, properly applied. It's a very pretty, light-reflective highlighter/blush on my fair skin tone. It gives a very beautiful glow. In addition, Modern Mercury does a lovely job of building up without being frosty. As with anything this pearly, too many layers will give a metallic effect so proceed with a single layer at a time.
The texture is a bit miraculous. Modern Mercury's texture is extremely finely milled. Extremely. The pigment virtually leaps onto your brush or finger effortlessly. As I mentioned above, the experience is a bit like the texture of the Chanel Ombres Perlees.
As with any highlighter, those with larger pores will wish to proceed with some caution. Unlike some other highlighters, Modern Mercury is not sheer but rather gives a warm peachy glow. Adjust your blush accordingly.
Bottom line: Pumped up gorgeous.

Great post! I NEEEEED to go see it in person!
It looks a bit too dark for me as a highlight, but I think this would look gorgeous all over the lids. =)
It looks so gorgeous! How much does it contains? 🙂
The sales lady helping me at Nordstroms said it was indeed sparkly all the way through and not an overspray. It's possible I squeaked a bit in a joy.
I was so disappointed about this – it's far too dark for me as a highlighter, so I had to let it go to live with someone who has darker skin. Sigh.
I also like to use perlees de chanel in white as a cheek highlighter!! I just ordered my Ombres Tissees from the Aquarelles de Chanel collection… I cant wait to get it!!! It looks awesome.
You know Amy, I was really curious to see if you were going to buy/review this product. I was playing with it during the Nordy's anniversary sale at the counter and just stopped short of buying it. I have been thinking about it for the last several weeks since swatching it on my hand/cheeks and I'm definitely going to pick this up. I think for $40 and the amount of product, it's a win for sure. If you haven't seen this beauty in person – go look! I heard that it's an LE as well (not sure if you heard the same…). Thanks again for the lovely review!
Thank you for confirming my need for this product – pay day can't come soon enough.
I smiled when I saw that you showed two of Les Ombres Perleés with the highlighters. I've used all of the pink and almost all of the white–not just on my eyes–but on my cheek bones as well! If Chanel had come out with a full size of the pink, I would have snatched it up in a nano-second.
Does the Chanel Ombres Tissées Beiges from Les Aquarelles compare at all?
Not even close, JillZ. The pink Ombre Perlée is magic 🙂
Eileen have you used the Illusion D'Ombre in Emerville? It is very close to the pink from the Ombre Perlee (just a little peachier). I tried it on my cheeks as a highlighter and thought it looked pretty good. And since the Illusion D'Ombre are part of the permanant line they may come out with one that is more pink :)….fingers crossed.
I'm so in love with this product! I think I may have to cave 😉
I bought this because I liked it very much and I was really curious about your opinion about it 🙂 I am only sorry I missed the Pure night highlighter, that one looks amazing too… maybe someday there will be something similar available, if this will be the case, please let us know about it. Thank you for your excellent reviews.
Love Liz's lip in the second photo!
Hi Amy,
I am just curious how this compared to Guerlain's limited edition sublime Inca poweder that came out this summer.
BTW, love your new layout with the new pics.
I really like the finish to the Estee Lauder's Modern Mercury Collection
I saw this in the store and found it so beautiful but I thought I really do not need another highlighter so I did not buy it. I went home and went to see it you had reviewed it and to my surprise yes! What a great review and yes it is so much more than a highlighter I ran back to the store the next day and let them put some of the tester on my face the salespersoon even put it onder my eyebrows just like Liz's (he did this totally on is own I did not tell him to) and as a blush on my cheeks as well. I got the last one in stock and I am so happy with it and greatfull to you for posting this great review!
This is so gorgeous!!!!!
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.

Tyler Cowen had a post yesterday on the basic irrationality of viewing General Motors and Chrysler as "American" and Toyota and Honda as "Japanese."
He points out that not only do Toyota and Honda manufacture cars in the United States, but these are publicly traded firms. Americans can — and do — own shares in both firms, and could own more if we wanted to. Conversely, an "American" company like Apple actually does very little production in the United States. Nestle is "Swiss" but it's a giant multinational corporation and Switzerland is a small country so the vast majority of its operations are elsewhere.
What I find interesting, however, is not so much how irrational it is to attribute nationality to a business enterprise but how much nationality really does seem to matter. For example, the oil business is an global business. And the six "supermajor" firms are all global firms. But the CEO of Royal Dutch/Shell is Dutch. The CEO of Total is French. The CEO of BP is British. And the CEOs of ConocoPhillips and ExxonMobil are Americans. It's a bit hard to understand why a competitive international labor market would work out that way. And beyond CEO nationality, local norms seem to make a big difference. The CEO of Total earns way less money than the CEOs of the other supermajors and to a first approximation the reason is that he's French, and French CEOs just don't get paid very well. More broadly, European and Japanese executives earn less money than American executives, with British executives in the middle. I recall that one of the issues with the DaimlerChrysler merger was that the executive pay scales were totally out of whack.
Beyond CEOs, Nestle has 15 directors. Of them one is Indian, one is Swiss/American, seven are Swiss, and the rest are from other European countries. But there's nothing especially "European" — and certainly nothing Swiss — about the company's actual operations. They earn a lot of money in Europe, but the majority of their revenue is from outside of Europe, and there's production all over the world. It's also totally normal for large multinational firms to be disproportionately owned by shareholders located in their "home country" and home continent.
Corporate nationality, in other words, doesn't matter. But it seems as if it actually does. And for somewhat mysterious reasons.

A smattering of snow lay sprinkled on the ground.
The sky was ice blue and IT WAS COLD!
Outside all was still and silent. Indoors nothing stirred, and there was absolute quiet except for the faint ticking of the clock and the chattering of my teeth. Huddled into my warmest dressing gown, I listened intently, but there was no tell-tale cat noise to herald the imperious demand for breakfast or attention.
The indentation on the sofa where Lucie normally curls up to sleep, was empty. I looked around........
No sign...........
I checked beneath tables and the armoire............
Still no sign!
Perhaps she had reluctantly ventured into the cold crisp morning to answer the call of nature?
I opened the door a crack; letting in a blast of chill air. But the little trail of paw prints in the dusting of snow led in one direction only - Indoors!!
Could she be behind the sofa? I leaned across, but there was no little grey shadow to be seen. Then I paused...........
I thought I could detect a faint whiff..........
that distinctive aroma of cat breath that betrays the diet of fish, and sadly birds and frogs that Lucie has consumed over the years.
I lowered my gaze and peered downwards, finding myself staring into a dark recess between the sofa back and the cushions, where unexpectedly from the darkness, two green eyes stared upwards at me.
Buried deep below the cushions at the back of the sofa, Lucie remained motionless - only the grey smudge of her face visible; her breath inaudible, unwilling to draw attention to her warm, snug, secret hiding place.
Closer inspection revealed a little furry grey triangle of bottom sticking out from beneath the cushion and wedged into the sofa arm.
I left her alone and the slight rumbling sound of purring soon followed, before a louder noise disturbed the stillness of the morning, as only Lucie's contented snores divulged her slumbering presence, as she snuggled deep below the cushions, dreaming like me perhaps, of warmer sunny days.

A Note from 826 National CEO Gerald Richards | Nerdymates Blog
826 centers offer a variety of inventive programs that provide under-resourced students, ages 6-18, with opportunities to explore their creativity and improve their writing skills. How do we do it?
Mr. Richards has a BA in Film Studies from Wesleyan University and an MFA in Writing from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
Last year our eight centers worked with more than 31,000 students with the help of 5,000 volunteers. Our centers are places of learning and places of fun. Seldom do we hear those two words in the same sentence, however, with 826 those words are used together all the time. At 826 we aim to do the same for young people across the country. Our hope is to inspire our nation's youth to become better writers and encourage volunteers to spend time supporting the young people in their community.
Below, please find a note from 826 National CEO, Gerald Richards, about the organization. And join us on Facebook, Twitter, Google+, and LinkedIn to support writing!
If you live in one of the cities where there is an 826 National chapter—San Francisco, New York, Los Angeles, Washington D.C., Seattle, why not try these Ann Arbor/Detroit, Chicago, or Boston—you may have already walked by one of our centers without knowing it. You may have wondered aloud why there's a superhero store selling capes in Park Slope or spy supplies being sold in Wicker Park or Bigfoot research gear being sold in Boston. Our whimsically-themed storefronts act as gateways to the neighborhood and entice students into a space where they can readily get help with their homework or spend time writing and get help from adult volunteers willing to lend a hand.
Get Nerdymates It's free
Nerdymates is currently participating in a national competition sponsored by the American Business Journals measuring social media engagement on Facebook, Twitter, Google+, and LinkedIn. We are competing in the "Large" category due to the size of our social network. The winner of the #SocialMadness competition will have the opportunity to designate a charity to receive a $10,000 donation.
that makes sure everything you type is clear, effective, and mistake-free.
About the Author
Step into one of our centers and you may find students writing short stories about the importance of food in their lives, crafting a love poem to a pet, or the script to a zombie superhero movie. Our goal is to get kids to have fun, cultivate a love of writing and in the process build their confidence and self-esteem. All of this is done by bringing volunteers from the community in to work with our students 1 to 1—and sometimes 2 to 1. We understand the importance of community involvement in helping our students succeed.
We've chosen to donate the prize money (should we be lucky enough to win the contest!) to an awesome local organization called 826 National. 826 National offers a variety of inventive programs that provide under-resourced students, ages 6-18, with opportunities to explore their creativity and improve their writing skills.
Gerald Richards is the Chief Executive Officer of 826 National. With twenty years of management and development experience at national nonprofit organizations, including the Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship where he served as the Executive Director of the Bay Area office, Gerald is a respected trainer and sought after speaker on topics of youth and education access.
Nerdymates is a must-have
writing app
I have always loved to write. I think it's the unbridled power of creation that did it for me. The ideas are yours, the places they take you are of your own making, the people you imagine are people you want to know (or wish you knew), and the world that springs into life is the one you create. That world may last one page, or one thousand, but it is forever yours. The real joy is in the sense of accomplishment and sense of pride when you can say "I wrote this." That's a part of the magic of the 826 National network of creative writing and after-school tutoring centers—that creativity and sense of pride that every student involved with our programs feels.
It's always a pleasure to encounter another organization that loves writing and language like we do. We are excited that Nerdymates is helping to foster that in a world where LOL and SYL seem to be the norm, and emoticons replace writing how we really feel. We hope you'll join us in that love, check out an 826 National center in a city near you and hopefully volunteer. You'll be glad you did and have fun doing good.

Eager and full of energy, about 350 ZooMontana members of all ages showed up Friday afternoon to greet the two latest additions to the zoo's family: sister Siberian tigers Jasmine and Sophie.
The big cats arrived by truck late last month from Dade City's Wild Things, an eco-tourism zoo in Florida, but still had not been officially shown off to the public.
On Friday, members of the zoo got a special sneak peek of the roughly 2-year-old felines. The zoo's director and several volunteers were present to answer questions.
"How do you tell them apart?" one child asked volunteer Julie Zimmerman. The question was a popular one.
Although the cats are roughly the same size, Jasmine is a lighter shade of orange and features more stripes. She also has a small scrape on her nose. Sophie, on the other hand, is more outgoing, said Zimmerman, who has been volunteering at the zoo since 2004.
As kids looked on, mesmerized by the giant creatures and their stripes, the two cats stared back, looking perhaps just as curious.
Another volunteer, Pat Donnelly, commented on it as she walked past.
"These tigers are having more fun than the kids," she said.
The arrival of the tigers comes after Prince, the Zoo's beloved Siberian, died of lung cancer in March. He was 18 years old.
The zoo's director said the acquisition came quickly. After hearing about Prince's death, "They contacted us and said 'We've got these animals, ' " Ewelt said.
Ewelt said they were initially looking at a tiger in Oregon, but that Sophie and Jasmine were a better fit.
It was only a couple months after the Florida zoo decided to donate the two sisters that they were loaded onto the back of a climate-controlled truck and were Billings bound.
"You never know what you're passing on the highway."
RBC Wealth Management in Billings footed the shipping costs, which hovered around $4,000, Ewelt said.
When they arrived in May, Jasmine and Sophie were housed in a separate area of the zoo, while preparations were made for them to be moved to their habitat.
On Monday, the cats finally made the transition.
Although the weather was much warmer in Florida, Ewelt said the cats haven't had too much issue adjusting. As Siberians, he said, it's in their nature.
He added that they're looking forward to this winter, when they will get to see Jasmine and Sophie play in the snow for the first time.
Mychael and Jennifer Hoffman brought their two kids — Payton, 5, and Mason, 4 — to the zoo on Friday after receiving an email about the event.
They came earlier in the day, stayed for four hours, left and then came back to see the tigers, Jennifer said.
Jennifer said her kids loved Prince. "Literally, since the day Prince died, they've been crying."
They were looking forward to meeting the new tigers ever since they heard about them a month ago. "They've both been very excited," Mychael said.
"They are really cool," said Payton, who will be a first-grader at Elder Grove in the fall.
While Payton was reluctant to call favorites so soon, for her younger brother Mason, it wasn't a problem; the answer was simple: Jasmine.
"She has more stripes," he reasoned.
In the coming weeks, Ewelt said the zoo plans to fix a few cracked glass panes around their habitat. He said the funding for which will come from ExxonMobil, one of the exhibit's sponsors.
He said in the future they hope to be in the financial position to provide a portion of their proceeds to conservation efforts, but for now, their conservation efforts come in the form of education.
He was touching on a question that volunteer Julie Zimmerman posed a little later:
"How are you going to get kids to care about tiger conservation if they've never seen one?"
The public will get the chance to see the tigers tomorrow. The zoo opens at 10 a.m. Tickets are $7 for adults, $4 for children 3-15 and free for kids 2 and under. There are also discounts for seniors and military members.

I just saw the original movie on youtube for the first time ever, but I still remember how this demo used to send shivers down my spine when I saw it back then. The demo contains only a few stills from the movie in combination with the "Walking in the Air" song, but it manages to capture the sad story perfectly in those few stills, hence my thumb-up.

The Beautiful Doogee F3 Images And Specs Leaked: MT6753 + 2.5D Glass + Back Cover Options
by Jun 1, 2015 9:41 pm25
Doogee is now an established affordable smartphone maker and we have seen a lot of interesting offerings from the company in the past few years. Today, we have come across a huge leak about the upcoming Doogee flagship smartphone, the Doogee F3, which will be the company's flagship for the year 2015.
From the pictures leaked, we can see that the Doogee F3 is one of the best looking handsets from the company till date. The company has taken some inspiration from existing flagships in the market and then have made its own set of additions. So, the phone features a beautiful 2.5D glass up front on its 5-inch display with a special cutting metal frame around it.
But what's interesting is that the company will be offering multiple back cover material options including bamboo and wood apart from the standard gorilla glass cover. This seems to be a great way to attract customers who would like to customize their smartphones. Overall, the pictures show a premium and well built device with a smooth design.
As for the specs, our source says that it will have upper-mid range configuration. So, the Doogee F3 will come with the new MT6753 octa-core chipset clocked at 1.5GHz along with multiple RAM options. So, users can choose between 1GB to 4GB RAM for their device. Naturally, the price will differ according to the RAM configuration.
The best part about the device is that sports a compact 5-inch display. Our readers were always wondering whether they would ever see a worthy 5-inch flagship and looks like Doogee F3 is built exactly for these kind of users. Moreover, the 2.5D glass on top of the display up front and the possible full HD 1080p resolution will make sure that the phone's display is top quality. What's more, it is said that the F3 will have just 1mm bezels, making the display even more attractive.
As for the camera, our source says that the phone will feature a 13MP shooter (either Sony IMX214 or Samsung ISOCELL Sensor). Up front, expect an 8MP OV camera. The battery should be around 3150mAh which is pretty decent for a flagship device. But, it will most likely support fast charge. There will be 16GB storage on board with a MicroSD card slot (most likely!).
For software, Doogee is said to be porting MIUI 6, CM11, CM12.1 ROM for this device, even ubuntu for the F3. But the basic model will run on Android 5.1 Lollipop OS. There will be two SIM card slots (One Micro, One Regular) and will support dual SIM dual standby. Naturally, being a high-end flagship, the phone supports all 4G LTE network bands. Exact supported bands will most likely be revealed later.
Doogee F3 is also said to come with a special voice control feature to open up preset apps right from standby. It will be available in two different colors, pearl white and ocean blue and will most likely launch by August 2015.
Well, this was an extensive leak about the upcoming Doogee flagship, but there are still some questions that needs to be answered like the supported 4G bands as well as the pricing. Still, from what we have heard till now, the Doogee F3 looks like a great device, with a solid design and powerful specs.
So, do you like the leaked Doogee F3 model?

Hey all, sorry for my absence of the past week -- it's been a crazy week in the HipHiker household. I have a whole bunch of photos to share though, so I'm hoping to get some of those posted in the next couple of days.
In other news, I'm also blogging over at Creative Weblogging's Outdoor Weblog. Please stop on by and let me know what you think. I'm looking for some hiking travel advice, and I've posted my question over there.... I'm curious to see some recommendations!

We woke up before the sun and hit the open road to Winnipeg.
Today was the day that my big brother (one of two), Hudson, started his journey to Nunavut!
We were lucky enough to catch him on his way up there and spent a few hours entertaining him and removing him from the reality that lies ahead.
He left his girlfriend and their two children this morning for an opportunity that will bring them all better and brighter lives in just a few short months.
For us Woodworth's (my maiden name), leaving the comfort and familiarity of the Annapolis Valley is not an easy task. So, the fact that he is not only leaving the place that he knows so well but also his family for a few months is a brave move.
Here's hoping he loves it and that time flies for both him and his family!
(Excuse the "can't see - too bright" faces)

WILMINGTON, N.C. (WKRC) - Even alligators are struggling to deal with the frigid temperatures that swept through most of the U.S. this winter.
They stick their noses up through the ice to survive.
"It's interesting to see them poke their noses up and are able to breathe and be perfectly fine so they're doing this as a mechanism so that if it freezes over they can still breathe but just an absolute amazing survival technique," George Howard told WECT.
Howard, who works at the Shallotte River Swamp Park in Wilmington, came across the fascinating site for the first time.
"I looked around and I was like 'hmmm, what is that poking up out of the water?'"
Howard says the gators lower their body temperature and metabolism under water to survive.
"These guys are diehard just amazing survivors and this is just one more example of that," he said.

This is one that came up as similar to Ojojojo so I checked it out too. Ojojojo is a lot more of a heartwarming type comedy/gag manga where Houkago Play is…well some type of comedy but I personally got very few laughs out of it. I try to keep my feeling about something towards the end but there isn't much to say about this one. I guess it was kind of popular among the otaku since the girlfriend has gotten several statues made. Continue readingby
Tag Archives: Black comedy
Needless is a show I bypassed when it came out but decided to give it a chance recently. Not even sure why I bypassed it before since dystopian future type of stuff usually draws me in.
The story takes place in a future where a Third World War has taken place. A war that has brought worldwide chaos and also creates room for a new species known as Needless. Needless are humans who have contracted a 'disease' that allows them to wield new powers that mankind could only dream of. They're able to control gravity, telekenesis, adapting, elementals and several other powers that you only see in comic books. Continue readingby
Black Lagoon (Burakku Ragūn)
Action, gunshots, more action, more gunshots, stuff blows up, more gunshots, KABOOM! Black Lagoon has action on top of action but is it the type of action you want to see?
Picture this. You're Rokuro Okajima who works a 9-5 job though in Japan that might be more like 5am-9pm. You hate your job, your life and everything around you. Then you get kidnapped. Instead of trying to escape, you become part of the kidnappers group. You are now Rock the pirate. Continue readingby
Welcome to the NHK (N.H.K. ni Yōkoso!)
Welcome to the NHK is a show I ignored before but decided I should give it a chance. Within the gaming community there is a lot of depression. I think maybe 50% or more, of the people I've come across in game development have dealt with some type of issue or still are. I also used to deal with a few people who had issues before I even got into game development.
The story revolves around Tatushiro Sato, a university dropout and entering his fourth year of unemployment. A hikikomori who came to the conclusion that this happened through some kind of conspiracy. One day, by chance (or so he thought), he met Misaki Nakahara, a girl who claims she will cure him of being a hikikomori. He agrees to her conditions though not willingly. Enter Kaoru Yamazaki, his best friend and neighbor. Kaoru seems to be the one he counts on the most though he has his issues too, he's a hardcore overbearing otaku but he's actually the most stable character (scary isn't it?) Tatushiro also gets wrapped up in other people's issues too which lead to some interesting situations. Continue readingby
I'm a history buff for those who don't know, and the Prohibition era and Great Depression are two of my favorite periods in time. Smuggling, alcohol, speakeasys, gangsters…all of it. That's why Baccano! has been on my list for a while. Just took me a while to get around to it.
The show starts off with a story being told. The vice president of the Daily Days newspaper, Gustav St. Germain, and his assistant, Carol, are investigating a series of strange events. The events range from 1711 to the 1930s. There are 4 different storylines going on and about 20 characters. Gustav has Carol trying to pick a main character while telling the story.
In Chicago in the 1930s, the Flying Pussyfoot, a transcontinental train starts it's journey. One that will leave a trail of blood across the country. In New York, you have a scientist and his assistant looking for missing bottles of an immortality elixir. You have a war between mafia factions on board the Flying Pussyfoot. Then in 1711, on board the Advena Avis, you have alchemists who are learning the cost of being immortal. Did you get all that? Continue readingby
Samurai Champloo (Samurai Chanpurū)
Cowboy Bebop, Space Dandy, Cowboy Bebop: Heaven's Door, and Samurai Champloo. What is the common thread? They were all directed by Shinichirō Watanabe. Like Cowboy Bebop, I bypassed this one at first and not even sure why but after watching Cowboy Bebop, I just had to go back and watch it.
This show again has the same episodic style of the other Watanabe shows though there are a few 2 parters, and just like the others there is a musical theme. In Samurai Champloo it's hip hop. There's a samurai who has a lacky who beatboxes for him, a group of travelling guys who rap and a bunch of other characters who pick up a mic. Some of the scene transitions are actual record scratches. You even have a few hip hop references too. Who knew that the Edo period had so much soul. Continue readingby

These scanning electron microscope (SEM) images are of thin films of gold (Au) deposited by thermal evaporation onto the soft polymer polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), also known as Plexiglass. The thickness of the deposited Au films were less than 100 nm. The Au films peeled up in various places when heated due to stress related to differences in thermal expansion of the two materials.
This last image was artificially colored with Adobe Photoshop.

As you can imagine, it was very late when we set out of the apartment to look for something to eat. Just as well we were in the centre, so lots of places were still open and like I'd mentioned in previous posts, it was Saturday. The town was buzzing with people. There was a very pleasant atmosphere.
We walked through the pedestrianised streets, turning down an alleyway instinctively, and found ourselves on Rúa do Franco. There were lots of restaurants here; no doubt, it was very popular with tourists. Still, it was too late to risk going too far away, taking into the account the time.
The restaurant we found ourselves in was Petiscos do Cardeal. Yes, that's right and no, it's got nothing to do with cars. It was full; they had a small terrace, which was also full. We waited for a bit and were soon shown a table. The time was past 11pm and they were still serving.
You know, I searched and searched, through my hard disks, through my mobile phone, and I still can't believe I didn't take any photos here! Perhaps I was just too knackered.
I remember we decided to have tapas: "gambas al ajillo", "tortilla cachonda", "pulpo a la gallega", grilled baby squid, mushrooms, and the family weren't full so they ordered some more.
The service was good, the staff were friendly and efficient. But, to be honest, I can't remember if I liked the food much or not. I don't think it was bad, but probably not great either or I would have remembered. What I do remember, however, is that the bill came up to €40+, so it wasn't cheap.
|Bold black cat
No, it's got nothing to do with the restaurant, but it belongs to our apartment host. It would have jumped into our apartment if we'd let it, but no way! Windows were closed whenever we left.
Look out for the next few restaurant reviews!

SOUTHINGTON - The Main Street Community Foundation has provided the United Way of Southington with a $40,000 grant to help them continue to support Senior Transportation Services.
The grant, which comes from the Bradley Henry Barnes & Leila Upson Barnes Memorial Trust, is known as the "Southington-Community Well Being Grant." This was set up "to support the health and wellbeing of Southington residents," according to Kate Kerchaert, program officer for the Main Street Community Foundation.
"Last year, we set aside $100,000 to attract new organizations to apply. We are awarding that money to the United Way; LISA, Inc.; Neighbor Brigade, which helps neighbors dealing with short term crisis; and the Early Childhood Collaborative of Southington," added Kerchaert.
United Way of Southington plans on using the grant to market and promote its Senior Transportation Services.
"They are one of the agencies we fund on a yearly basis," said Jack Eisenman, executive director. "Senior Transportation Services provides rides for people ages 55 or above from a couple of different towns but the money we give will all go to benefit Southington residents. In North America, we don't always treat our elderly as well as in other parts of the world. This service allows our older residents to be able to shop, make medical appointments and visit loved ones."
Kerchaert pointed out that the local Calendar House does a good job in providing rides for local seniors, but that the demand for this service exceeds what they alone can provide.
Marc Pelletier, president of United Way of Southington, said this is something special that the community has been enjoying very much.
"We have had a long relationship with this program; we have been funding it for 20 years. We'll be reaching out to the senior center, which has a good handle on who needs rides. From what I've heard there are probably 100 rides each month that they are unable to provide. This is a wonderful town, but its needs are growing. This will go a long way to put a dent in that number," said Pelletier.
Nancy Morrissey of Senior Transportation Services added that their program used to receive federal funding; however, they lost that grant in June of 2015. The Main Street Community Foundation grant will help them to recoup that loss, at least locally.
"We provide one on one, door to door service," she said. "Seniors will be picked up in the driver's personal car and they will wait for people while they are having their appointments."
Eisenman noted that United Way of Southington plans to reach out to local veterans in an effort to find new volunteer drivers.

By "massively complicated" you mean "harder than the simplest case." Haskell's do-notation makes the "state of the world" implicit, and performing the desugaring makes it explicit again -- but then that state isn't really "the state of the word"... Sorry or my heckling. You gave a fine answer, to the standard question. However, I propose mandating that all such questions asked on the haskell-beginners list are answered with "Haskell's purity solves everything" -- but on haskell-cafe they should get "Haskell's purity solves everything, but read Sabry's paper on What is a Purely Functional Language, because it's really more subtle than that." Cheers, Ben.

CITY HALL — The City Council on Tuesday approved adding $252,000 to a contract with a firm designing exterior renovations to the vacant building slated to house the Museum of Neon Art.
The City Council last year approved a highly subsidized deal with the Los Angeles-based nonprofit museum to move into the city-owned building at 216 S. Brand Blvd. across from the Americana at Brand.
While the initial agreement was inked in September 2009, the groups still have to finalize a lease for the property.
Under a proposed 15-year lease, the city would pledge up to $1 million in redevelopment funds to help renovate the vacant building.

Processor Upgrading
Computers processors sometimes may be upgraded to improve the performance of your computer, which includes the increase in the computer speed and faster accessibility of files and programs. When upgrading your computer processors are some factors to consider before proceeding with the upgrade
Socket CompatibilityWhen buying a processor ensure that it is compatible with the motherboard sockets, otherwise your processor amy not function if they are not inline with each other. Check the computer motherboard insertion slot before buying your processor
Processor Speed and Bus SpeedWhen upgrading your computer processor ensure that you buy the right processor with the right speed supported by the bus speed otherwise your processor may not function
Processor external data bus has to be compatible with your current motherboard and without compatible you will have difficult time upgrading the processor
When upgrading the processor one has to consider the Bios Support, if your processor is not supported by the Bios then you will not upgrade the processor which means it has to be supported by the computer Bios. Other factors to consider include computer voltage and the cache type which is supported by the processor you want to upgrade
Cost of the processorYou will have to shop around to look for the best deal when buying your computer processor for upgrade. The costly the processor the higher it will cost you to upgrade your computer hence shop around to find a suitable price for a quality processor

January 5, 2013
We had a great winter break- the kids really had fun visiting all of our scattered family in the region, and doing family things; this week was back to school time, but Friday I left early for a little extra bit of winter break fun. We took the kids bowling for the first time! After initial apprehension ("if I drop the ball will it break me" and "where'd the ball go will it come back???") they settled in and had a blast!
We bumper bowled, which definitely helped me the most (and yet you can see I barely topped our "two handed terror", Lara, and Jake, who needed to cradle the ball in a big hug and used a ramp to roll it down), but Ms. 42roads crushed us all. I am posting the scores for posterity, and hoping they vanish into some Interweb black hole.
It was great, they really got into cheering for the ball, using wiggly body english to try to twist the ball into place, and got super psyched for spares and strikes. Jakey's favorite parts were when the electronic scoring sheet would tell the next person it was their turn, and at how the "nice robots" would clear and restock the pins. Really though, his favorite part was the balls coming back, as if by magic.
Bowling- an awesome winter activity enjoyed by all!

So happy you are back in Bloggosphere! The bowling outing does look like super fun. And, of course, the kids look amazing. Very smart of you to think of going bowling - totally forgotten thing nowadays, isn't it?

text: WASHINGTON (AP) -- For all the differences between the sexes, here's one that might stir up debate in the teacher's lounge: Boys learn more from men and girls learn more from women. That's the upshot of a provocative study by Thomas Dee, an associate professor of economics at Swarthmore College and visiting scholar at Stanford University. His study was to appear today in Education Next, a quarterly journal published by the Hoover Institution. Vetted and approved by peer reviewers, Dee's research faces a fight for acceptance. Some leading education advocates dispute his conclusions and the way in which he reached them. But Dee says his research supports his point, that gender matters when it comes to learning. Specifically, as he describes it, having a teacher of the opposite sex hurts a student's academic progress. "We should be thinking more carefully about why," he said. Dee warns against drawing fast conclusions based on his work. He is not endorsing single-sex education, or any other policy. Rather, he hopes his work will spur more research into gender's effect and what to do about it. His study comes as the proportion of male teachers is at its lowest level in 40 years. Roughly 80 percent of teachers in U.S. public schools are women. Dee's study is based on a nationally representative survey of nearly 25,000 eighth-graders that was conducted by the Education Department in 1988. Though dated, the survey is the most comprehensive look at students in middle school, when gender gaps emerge, Dee said. He examined test scores as well as self-reported perceptions by teachers and students. Dee found that having a female teacher instead of a male teacher raised the achievement of girls and lowered that of boys in science, social studies and English. Looked at the other way, when a man led the class, boys did better and girls did worse. The study found switching up teachers actually could narrow achievement gaps between boys and girls, but one gender would gain at the expense of the other. Dee also contends that gender influences attitudes. For example, with a female teacher, boys were more likely to be seen as disruptive. Girls were less likely to be considered inattentive or disorderly. In a class taught by a man, girls were more likely to say the subject was not useful for their future. They were less likely to look forward to the class or to ask questions.

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has urged the party to "come together" and reach out to the country following his decisive victory.
He said he now wants to concentrate on setting out policies on how Labour planned to achieve social justice.
Speaking to the Press Association shortly after winning the leadership election, Mr Corbyn said: "I want to raise the vision of what kind of society we could be.
Jeremy Corbyn said he now wants to concentrate on setting out policies on how Labour planned to achieve social justice
"We will start with education, and there will be more to come. I want to bring all sections of the party together."
Mr Corbyn said he was grateful for the support he received in the leadership vote, highlighting the "huge" turnout for the contest with Owen Smith.
One of the immediate issues is how members of the shadow cabinet will be elected.
Mr Corbyn said he will be holding discussions with colleagues, adding there was a need to change the structure of the party's executive to reflect the increase in membership over the past year.
He said he was confident of regaining the support of Labour MPs who have been criticising his leadership, but would not speculate on how many would agree to serve in the shadow cabinet.
Asked if he hoped he would not face another leadership challenge before the general election, he said wanted all sections of the party to concentrate on policies to fight back against the government.

The cover that I have chosen to feature this week will be The Last Echo by Kimberly Derting which is the third book in The Body Finder series and is due to come out in April, 2012. The 14th to be exact and i am really looking forward to this next book.
The third cover will be sticking to the theme of the last two which were flowers. So here it is :)
I absolutely LOVE the colour of this one and it matches the blue and pink ones below.
I love the way the light shines just right through them and the pattern makes them seem very elegant. The black background is just perfect and any other colour just wouldn't work with these flowers.
I am really looking forward to this book and the cover is gorgeous once again.

Europe's emissions trading scheme expands to new heights
|Feb 24 2012
|VERTIC Blog >> Environment
Grete Luxbacher, London
As of 1 January 2012 aircraft operators with flights originating or terminating at airports within the European Community must participate in the European Greenhouse Gas Emission Allowance Trading Scheme (EU ETS). The EU ETS has been in place for energy intensive industrial installations since 2005, and is now the first market-based trading scheme to include emissions from aviation activities. As the expansion covers all incoming and outgoing flights, non-EU states have begun questioning its international legitimacy. Do the monitoring, reporting and verification procedures for the expanded emissions trading scheme shed any light on their concerns?
EU Emissions Trading Scheme
The EU ETS is an EU-wide carbon market, covering 11,000 industrial installations based within the 27 EU member states and three European Economic Area (EEA) member states (Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway). These installations account for approximately 50% of the EU's carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. The scheme aims to reduce these emissions in a cost-effective manner by 8% from 1990 levels during the 2008 to 2012 period, in line with EU obligations under the Kyoto Protocol. After the expiration of the first Kyoto Protocol commitment period this year, the EU ETS aims to cut GHG emissions by a further 21% from 2005 levels by 2020.
Under the scheme, each country sets an emissions limit and allocates allowances to individual installations that have obtained the necessary GHG emissions permit. Under the scheme's compliance cycle, an installation's emissions must be monitored, reported and verified. Once this process is complete, each installation must surrender the corresponding number of emission allowances to the competent authority of the member state.
Climate Change & Aviation in the EU
For the 2008 to 2012 period, the EU seems to be on track to meet their GHG emission reduction targets under the Kyoto Protocol, coming in at 17.9% below base year levels. Furthermore, the EU also seems to be on track for meeting its goal of reducing domestic emissions by 20% below 1990 levels by 2020. As the EU is on track to meet all of these targets, why did it decide to add aviation activities to the EU ETS?
Currently, emissions from aviation activities account for approximately 3% of the EU's GHG emissions. However, this figure is set to rise. While other emissions have decreased, aviation emissions have experienced a rapid increase, having doubled from 1990 levels. Emissions from aviation activities are not only on the rise in Europe, they are rising globally. It is estimated that by 2020 emissions from aviation will be 70% higher than 2005 levels. In 2010 the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) received a mandate to work towards a global solution to decrease aviation emissions.
Despite this, the EU proceeded with its own plan while not ruling out the option of future collaboration for a global solution with ICAO or other international bodies. The EU formally announced the addition of aviation emissions to the EU ETS in January 2009. The first trading period to include aviation emissions began at the start of this year and will end in 2013. This trading period is set to reduce EU aviation emissions by 3% compared to the average level between 2005 and 2006, equivalent to a 97% cap on what is known as 'historical emissions'. The next trading period (2013 to 2020) is set reduce aviation emissions by a further 2%, capping emissions at 95% of this historical level.
From the outside looking in
Numerous non-EU countries have spoken out against the expansion of the EU scheme, arguing instead in favour of a solution through the ICAO. A major concern for these countries is the fact that if a flight originates at an EU airport and terminates in Beijing, the emissions from the entire flight are counted, not just those emitted in EU airspace. This has led to calls from countries such as the US, Russia, and China over infringement of sovereignty as they claim the EU is imposing its laws in other countries. When the EU ETS monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV) process is examined in detail, there are a number of elements which indeed seem to reflect these concerns.
The EU ETS MRV process for both stationary installations and aviation activities is known as 'the compliance cycle' and is outlined in Directives 2003/87/EC and 2008/101/EC. While the MRV processes are similar, there are several additional verification provisions for aircraft operators. The compliance cycle begins with the annual monitoring of an installation's or aircraft's GHG emissions. These emissions are monitored via a plan approved by their member state's competent authority. Aircraft operators not based in the EU are assigned a member state, known as an administering member state, to which they will report. Each installation and aircraft operator must then compile and submit an annual report detailing their activities and emissions by 31 March of the following year. This report must be verified through an independent EU-accredited verifier prior to submission.
The verification process includes the strategic analysis of activities, an on-site analysis for stationary installations, a risk analysis, the actual verification, and both an internal verification report and a verification report outlining the methodology and opinion of the verifier. There are several additional verification provisions for aviation activities falling under the scope of the EU ETS. These provisions include the confirmation by the verifier that all aviation activities falling under the scope of the EU ETS have been accounted for and the uniformity of fuel consumption and purchase data. To clarify any confusion that may occur, the EU ETS Compliance Forum published detailed non-binding guidance for aviation verifiers.
Once verification is complete, installations and aircraft operators have until 30 April to surrender allowances covering their emissions, thereby completing the compliance cycle. One allowance is the equivalent of one tonne of CO2 emitted by an installation. If an installation emits more than their allowances cover, they have the option of buying surplus allowances from other installations on the carbon market. Those installations that do not hand over the correct number of allowances will be charged EUR 100 per tonne of CO2 not covered. Aircraft operators who fail to pay for excess emissions could also face an EU-wide ban.
Throughout the verification process, the verifier considers the national laws and legal framework of the administering member state, not those of the state that the aircraft operator is based. Aviation companies on the outside of the EU looking in therefore have to accept that they will be assigned to an EU state, and that they will have their compliance judged against this state's laws. For some countries in which these airlines are based, this could seem like a step too far away from their right to sovereignty.
Trade War?
Indeed, the addition of aviation emissions from flights originating or terminating at any airport within the EU has been highly controversial. While numerous countries have spoken out against the inclusion, China has gone further and banned its airlines from paying any charges without government consent. Furthermore, several airlines from the United States brought the matter to the European Court of Justice (ECJ). However, the ECJ ruled in favour of the EU ETS asserting that it did not infringe on sovereignty as it was in line with international law.
The major complaints from both the air industry and governments include the previously mentioned sovereignty infringement and the possibility of higher costs for both airlines and customers. Thomson Reuters Point Carbon has estimated that by 2020 the addition of aviation to the EU ETS could cost airlines EUR 9 billion. The EU asserts that consumer costs will be minimal, even if the extra costs are reflected in the ticket prices. It predicts that by 2020 there could be a possible increase of EUR 1.8 and EUR 9 for domestic EU flights, while international flights would obviously have higher prices dependent upon the length of the trip and carbon prices.
In recent weeks the media has been speculating as to the possibility of a trade war between EU and non-EU countries. Events came to a head this week, when 23 non-EU countries including China, Russia and the US met in Moscow to discuss possible courses of action. These countries issued a declaration, which laid out possible actions including the prohibition of airlines from participating in the scheme, a review of the open sky agreements, and possible fees for EU airlines when flying in non-EU airspace. Russia even put forward the possibility of reducing the availability of permits that allow EU airlines to use the airspace over Siberia. All of these countries also endorsed finding a global solution through ICAO.
Despite the controversy, the EU has stood by its assertion that the addition of aviation emissions to the EU ETS is not only legal, but is currently the most cost-efficient and environmentally beneficial solution. It also emphasizes the fact that if a global initiative were created it would suspend this portion of the scheme.

A persistent pooch named Sissy showed that love has no boundaries when she escaped from her backyard in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and wandered many blocks to find her owner, who was recovering from cancer-related surgery in the hospital.
Nancy Franck had been in the hospital for a week recovering from surgery to treat her uterine cancer. That Saturday seemed like any other other the hospital, but instead it was a day Franck got the surprise of her life.
Early that morning, Nancy's husband, Dale, had let their two miniature schnauzers — Sissy and Barney — out to do their business. But Sissy never returned. Dale was worried sick, but Sissy was on a mission. The dog walked almost 20 blocks to nearby Mercy Medical Center and proceeded to enter the hospital doors and make her way through the hospital lobby. That's where a hospital security officer found here and got Dale's name and number from Sissy's tag.
Dale was relieved to find the missing dog but shocked and curious how she could have found her way to the hospital.
"The only thing I could think of was that Sissy used to ride with me to pick up my wife from work next door to the hospital," Dale told Yahoo News. "But we've never walked that route before."
Hospital security cameras capture the moment Sissy walked right in through the front doors and headed toward the lobby to find her mom.
And don't worry, Sissy's story has a happy ending. When Dale and Nancy's daughter, Sarah Wood, arrived at the hospital to pick up her parents' dog, she was granted permission to bring Sissy up to see her mom.
Nancy told reporters that it gave her a big boost just to see and talk to her sweet dog.
Now that's love.

'Jerk Ribs' Video from Kelis' album 'Food' - released 21 April 2014 on Ninja Tune.http://iamkelis.com
We first posted "Jerk Ribs," Kelis's first collaboration with the TV On The Radio production mastermind Dave Sitek, 10 months ago, when it was still called "Call On Me." The percussive soul-funk workout is now the cornerstone of Food, Kelis's forthcoming Sitek-produced album, and now it has an appropriately sunny video. The clip mostly has Kelis getting glammed up for photoshoots and then posing in said photoshoots, which is honestly probably how she spends a lot of her life. My favorite part is where she thinks she sees a bug and sort of veers her head away. There's also a nice interaction with a giraffe. -- Stereogum
