And overall they are disgusted by the idea of nerf guns for girls. Usually whenever there is an awesome product boys buy and that product releases a female line they stop buying. Lego has released one. But for some reason I wasn't into Lego anymore the second they released the Friends line. Maybe it's because everyone thought I was gay every time I bought a lego set, Lego friends or galaxy squad it didn't matter. Or maybe I've outgrown it but I just refuse to buy anymore sets. Also if anyone who works at nerf is listening please make guns with shells and shell ejecting.

They don't care that some girls will buy regular Nerf guns. All they see is the fact that to a large number of girls who think the products they have are unappealing and creating a line of traditionally female oriented colors will open up a previously untapped market. At the end of the day the people who are offended by this have way too small of a presence to affect their marketing.

Rebelle and Zombie Strike are both lines that are attempting to appeal to a different mindset of play. They both are geared towards role play and imagination, and less about tactics and strategy. Personally this appeals to me and fits with my play style as a 32 year old who plays with my own children and organizes nerf battles with local youth of various experience and skill level. People new to the hobby (perhaps the target market of both of these lines) acclamate better with easy to load and operate blasters that look cool and are fun to use. As they get more familiar to nerf, they progress to the bigger stuff. Someone who gets into nerf because of rebelle or zombie strike may very well get hooked on the NSE style as well. Think of it as a "gateway drug" perhaps.

Anyway, I personally have more fun causally messing around with small low capacity easy to load blasters on any given day, so there is a lot of appeal to the assortment of rebelle and ZS blasters coming down the line. I don't see it as a "weakened" approach to nerf at all, simply a different mindset that appeals to different people in different ways. firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-5518908358030099316.post-68080496670065449802013-07-22T12:02:37.979+10:002013-07-22T12:02:37.979+10:00This is classic Gender Studies 101.

My main problem with the entire line is the color scheme. First of all girls who are young and are into pink wouldn't play with Nerf. However, the only girls I know and have seen so far that are into Nerf would rather by dual weilding Rapidstrikes in full tac gear. Also let's compare the two argubly most powerful blasters of Rebelle and Zombiestrike. Huge slam fire revolver vs. small enough shotgun that holds up to 12 darts at once and fires then 3 at a time. While the Rebelle crossbow would be a decent sidearm, if it wasn't so huge. They focused way to much on the bow arms. They are entirely for the looks and would get in the way. Where is your empowerment now? If you want to be equal to everyone else then go buy a Rapidstrike and paint it. The Rebelle line has little power and focuses on looks. This is almost stating that girls care more about looks then power. Look at Zombiestrike it has terrible looks and low capacity. However it is supposed to be sidearms so far. I mean who carries around a 100 round clip assult rifle with a RoF of 10 rounds per second in the Zombie Apoc. Any way back on the subject of Rebelle, the name, it sounds a lot like Rebel. So along with the attitude stuff on the ad it sounds like this line is for girls who don't like the sterotype, but wait we have pink and purple blasters that look better then they proform. If done right this line could be great in both a preformance view and ethicly. It could be blasters that aren't colored pink and had equal preformance versus the Elite line.

There is not a single example of the eye protection being used. Seriously, it's just in bad taste if you make eye protection and then always show it off as being on their hair because it's "hip."

Just wait until a 10 year old girl gets hit in the eye at point blank while wearing the glasses on her hair because people care more about being hip than safe.

I feel that the fact that these blasters aren't repaints or redesigns of current blaster technology but a step back to single shot blasters (mainly) IS a handicap. Like Nerf is saying that women couldn't handle a stampede, so we have to make ones they can, and so they know it we painted them pink and unnecessarily made them look like bows. email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-5518908358030099316.post-35723370591375676742013-07-20T02:16:10.329+10:002013-07-20T02:16:10.329+10:00I don't know about that.

Yeah, that.

This is a Nike ad, but for Nerf.

Absolutely nothing wrong with it. It will be interesting to see if they offer higher capacity blasters in this line later on. As it is presumably more of an investment, it makes sense to learn what works and what doesn't from this initial launch before launching a pink N-Strike line, or the equivalent. But if they determine it will sell, I'm sure they'll do it. Don't overreact to them not having high cap blasters out from the get-go, this whole thing is about marketing, and marketing encompasses a lot more than just advertisements.Boildownhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-5518908358030099316.post-37258596871780284702013-07-20T01:05:54.418+10:002013-07-20T01:05:54.418+10:00The girls are hot.

I am a better shot that any of my brothers and was also a faster runner than any of them and it wasn't because I felt the need to prove a point or represent female empowerment. I was just, to be honest, better!!!

I dont mind the advert, I see what it's trying to do but I just think we need to be accepted as liking the things we do without having to help us express ourselves when we actually don't need it in the first place. I would find it insulting if I received a handicap or special praise for my achievements just because I was a woman. I like the Rebelle blasters, but I would have liked them even if they were painted green and called "Zombie Strike" :-)firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-5518908358030099316.post-3758412338966853422013-07-20T00:57:36.422+10:002013-07-20T00:57:36.422+10:00Wow Pocket, that's some thought provoking stuf...Wow Pocket, that's some thought provoking stuff. It is interesting to see how Rebelle is marketed and you've pointed out things I wouldn't have noticed till now. This isnt about feminism or sexism, it's about marketing and if that's the feedback they received from their focus groups and testing, then that's what will sell blasters so why would you not follow that line?

In regards to whether boys want to feel empowered too, I think so. This Rebelle ad reminded me of those anti bullying types of campaigns with the close ups of the faces and the powerful messages being said. I think this would work with guys as well.

Great piece though, and why I always come back to Urban Taggers as my email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-5518908358030099316.post-87987447724498458412013-07-20T00:25:26.013+10:002013-07-20T00:25:26.013+10:00I have a very critical opinion of the Nerf Rebelle...I have a very critical opinion of the Nerf Rebelle series. I can only hope that women find it as insulting as I see it to be. Here in the United States, The Supreme Court ruled that 'separate but equal is still discrimination.' I believe this is just another example of that being forgotten today.
What exactly was wrong with yellow Nerf guns? "Girls don't like yellow"? So, offer blasters in different colors. I hate the yellow or even worse the blue and white, like Nerf cops. You (the author) see empowerment for women. But here is what I see:
Boys are marketed the stampede based on capacity and rate of fire. Functional traits that make it a superior Nerf weapon.
The girls are marketed low capacity, low rate of fire, possibly even lower powered blasters. Why? Because they are pink and stylish and 'empowering'. In all honesty, who would buy any of these Rebelle one shot blasters when things like the Stryfe, Rapidstrike, and Rough Cut are on the market at competitive prices. Maybe the "Sweet Revenge" because its an improvement over the Strong Arms and Mavericks, but only in the sense that you might be able to shoot it one handed. Notice that when compared to the "male" versions the Sweet Revenge still has one dart less capacity. I cannot imagine any mechanical reason the Maverick could have a six dart drum but the Sweet Revenge can't.
What do I find empowering in a Nerf blaster as a man? An 18 round magazine. A 35 round drum magazine. I don't care what color the darts are, what color the blasters are, what color the mags are, I care about capability, and getting the most of it per U.S. Dollar.
All ad campaigns like this do, is further the stereotype that women and girls do not, and that they should not, care about competitive capabilities in the face of fashion and style. That's not empowerment thats just brainwashing. By targeting young girls with this mindset it only says, "Hey ladies don't aspire to be competitive with your male counter parts. Aspire to be pink and pretty and just a little less effective then men." After all being nonthreatening will make it easier for young women to find themselves good husbands. Right? I'm not reading between the lines, or envisioning some conspiracy. This message is written right on the schematics of these new blasters themselves. Does a single blaster in the Rebelle Line use Nerf's magazine system? No. Why would girls need those? Besides they are ugly, and big, and orange right? Do any of them introduce a new high capacity dart storage system that is quick change? No. In fact, the highest capacity girls can apparently have is 6 darts in the Guardian Crossbow. When I go into a Nerf war I carry a Stryfe with a 6 dart mag as a BACKUP blaster.
I am sorry if my opinion is inflammatory. I see this type of thing happening more and more around me and it makes me sick that no one stands up and calls these ad campaigns what they are. Just a thinly veiled attempt to teach the next generation of women not to be as good as men, not to even consider it. This is just meant to teach young girls that they are welcome to come into the Nerf world, as long as that promise to only take the pretty and low capacity blasters and leave the real fire power to the men. As long as they stay separate, we promise they will still be "equal".
If market research says girls don't like Nerf N-strike colors, just release new ones. There is no gender implication in the monicker "N-strike" I see no reason not to strive to include women in that established Nerf Identity. Nerfers always love new color releases, I myself would kill for a red Stampede. Then women could join the community and men established in the community could all go collector-nuts for the new color lines. firstname.lastname@example.com

Ebola virus has five identified subtypes. Among them, three subtypes of the five have been associated with
large Ebola haemorrhagic fever (EHF) outbreaks in Africa: Ebola-Zaire, Ebola-Sudan and Ebola-Bundibugyo. Ebola is introduced
into the human population through close contact with the blood, secretions, organs or other bodily fluids of infected animals.
Diagnosis of Ebola virus disease can be achieved with antibody-capture enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA),
antigen detection tests and real-time RT-PCR.
PCR is the best diagnostic test for use in human samples such as serum and plasma since it provides fast and accurate results and is highly sensitive and specific for detecting Ebola virus RNA.
The AccuPower® EBOV Real-Time RT-PCR Kit is an in vitro diagnostic kit designed for the detection of Zaire ebolavirus RNA
in human samples such as serum and plasma through real-time PCR using ExiStation™ Molecular Diagnostic System or Exicycler™ 96.

As a previous post noted, CDC is considering a medical diagnosis for wandering. At The Wall Street Journal, Shirley Wang reports on the ensuing debate:
But the potential recommendation is garnering controversy from some autism advocates. The Autistic Self Advocacy Network and others are petitioning against the CDC's stance because say that medicalizing the behavior could lead to increased and unnecessary restraint or seclusion of these individuals.
"The intention here is good," says Ari Ne'eman, president of the Autistic Self Advocacy Network. "You've got people here who have wandered off and maybe get injured or even died. But they [the CDC] haven't really thought through the unintended consequences."
Having wandering as a diagnostic code will allow researchers to better gather information and characterize the problem and addresses families' difficulties getting reimbursement for certain services, such as tracking devices, for instance, according to the CDC's Coleen Boyle, acting director of the National Center on Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities.
Health Blog Bonus: If you really want to get into the weeds about the debate, check out this transcript from a recent meeting of the Interagency Autism Coordinating Meeting (the wandering discussion begins on p. 11).

I've been gone from the blog....and when I'm gone from the fat blog it usually means that I'm not doing so well. This past week has been bad. Really bad. Every time I lose and get to a certain point, I gain it back within a few days. I have an out of town trip starting today and I get back on Sunday. I'm going to get through the weekend of southern fried food and start, once again, when I get back.

Word comes that Ford rocked the most recent J.D. Power and Associates new-vehicle quality rankings. I honestly never thought I'd be reading that. If the word "Toyota" or "Honda" were in that sentence instead of "Ford," I'd believe it. Frankly, I can bet I wouldn't be writing about it. But Ford? I'm impressed. Here are some stats to get your head around: Ford won more J.D. Power honors than any other automaker. Ford, Lincoln, Mazda and Mercury all had segment winners. Ford, Lincoln, Mercury and Jaguar brands finished in the top 10 nameplates. Ford's Wixom Assembly Plant received a Platinum award for world's best-quality performance. Volvo's S80 had a top-three showing in the midsize premium car category. Perhaps the best news for Ford is that several of its newest vehicles were among the industry's best performers. Toyota slipped two notches, and the Camry didn't get a top-three mention (what is this, Opposite Land?). General Motors and Mercedes each had three top-ranked models. Honda had two. But the spotlight belonged to the folks in Dearborn. Good job, Ford. Now, for your own sake, keep the momentum going. http://www.thecarconnection.com/Auto_News/...173.A12455.html Problem-plagued Ford Motor Co. has gotten another critical endorsement, this one from the 2007 Vehicle Satisfaction Awards, an annual measure of quality and customer service. The automaker's Lincoln luxury brand narrowly lost a four-way shoot-out, slipping into second, just behind Nissan's highline Infiniti brand, announced the market research firm, AutoPacific, Inc. Meanwhile, Lincoln's new MKX crossover was named top-ranked truck, while the Ford division's new Edge crossover was best in its category.

He Made Us Laugh
Mel Brooks was born on June 28, 1926. He is an American film director, screenwriter, composer, lyricist, comedian, actor and producer. He is best known as a creator of broad film farces and comic parodies.
He began his career as a stand-up comic and as a writer for the early TV variety show Your Show of Shows. He became well known as part of the comedy duo with Carl Reiner, The 2000 Year Old Man.
In middle age he became one of the most successful film directors of the 1970s, with many of his films being among the top ten money makers of the year that they were released. His most well known films include The Producers, The Twelve Chairs, Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, Silent Movie, High Anxiety, History of the World, Part I, Spaceballs and Robin Hood: Men in Tights.
More recently he has had a smash hit on Broadway with the musical adaptation of his first film, The Producers. He was married to the actress Anne Bancroft from 1964 until her death in 2005.
The Short List
Brooks is a member of the short list of entertainers with the distinction of having won an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar and a Tony award.
He received the 41st AFI Life Achievement Award in June 2013. Three of his films ranked in the American Film Institute's list of the top 100 comedy films of all-time, all of which ranked in the top 20 of the list: Blazing Saddles at number 6, The Producers at number 11, and Young Frankenstein at number 13.
On December 5, 2009 Brooks was one of five recipients of the 2009 Kennedy Center Honors at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D. C.
On April 23, 2010 Brooks was awarded the 2,406th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
The List of Works Goes On and On
The body of Brooks' work is enormous. Film, stage, television, recordings all have been his artistic playground.
These works never failed to make one laugh sometimes until the tears were rolling one's cheeks.
So, What Is His Value to the Human Race?
Just that ability to have people laugh. Laughter helps keep one healthy and happy. Mel Brooks in producing that laughter for humankind has done us all a wonderful service.
And, of course, he had a cast of characters all around him to help make this all happen. No one does anything of significance without others to aid them. However, it is the force of personality and the inspiration of one individual that forges the product – whatever that final ware might be – horseshoes or laughter.
So, What Is Your Value to the Human Race?
Have you helped someone laugh today? Of course, that may not be you talent. Then what is your talent? Develop your endowment until you become useful, first to yourself, then to your sibling human beings.
Make the best horseshoe you can.

|Promoting HIV Risk Reduction Among African American Men
|Brief Summary
|This study will test the effectiveness of a brief clinic-based program designed to promote the correct use of condoms among young African-American men newly diagnosed with a sexually transmitted disease.
|Detailed Description
Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), including HIV infections, are most commonly spread through unprotected sexual intercourse. STDs are a major health concern, especially among young ethnic minorities in the United States. The rate of STDs is significantly greater in urban areas where ethnic minorities, particularly African-American males, are commonly represented. Despite this knowledge, safe sexual practices, including correct condom use, are not the norm among minority males. It is believed that educational outreach designed to motivate and inform on the correct use of condoms will be effective in encouraging safer sex practices. This study will test the effectiveness of a brief clinic-based program designed to promote the correct use of condoms among young African-American men newly diagnosed with an STD.
Participants in this single blind study will be randomly assigned to an experimental or control group. Upon being diagnosed with an STD, men in both groups will receive standard of care follow-up treatment. Men in the experimental group will also receive a one-on-one educational session on condom use. The educational session will be led by a health educator and will last about 30 minutes, depending on the existing skills and learning abilities of the participants. Using information provided by the participants on past experience with condoms, the health educator will attempt to correct misunderstandings about and problems with condom use. Upon enrollment, all men will respond to a series of pre-recorded questions and will be required to demonstrate their ability to apply condoms to a penile model. The same questions and procedure will be repeated 3 months later.

Doup Leno Lace Sampling
Well, my sample didn't do exactly what I'd hoped. My intent is to design yardage from which to make some lace curtains. But even when the piece is backlit, the white weft overpowers the really interesting things happening in the warp.
To de-emphasize the weft, I did a little bit using sewing thread and then with monofilament. Here the warp pairs dancing with each other are really apparent. I notice that it shows a little better when one set of warps is a lighter color. This gives me the idea to try using white as part of the warp instead of in the weft. This will be fodder for the next sample.
But as for the current sample, it will just become a nice scarf.

British Islamist Urges Followers To Take Welfare to Fund Jihad Against Great Britain
Radical Islamist Anjem Choudary from England is urging fellow Muslims to take welfare (as he does) to fund the jihad against England.
This is the same British Islamist who burned a US flag on 9-11 at the US Embassy and who held a mock Osama Bin Laden funeral at the US embassy in May 2011.
Radical Islamists, led by Anjem Choudary, chanted "US Is a Terrorist State" and burn an American Flag… in London at a 9-11 protest.
Now Choudary is urging followers to destroy Great Britain by taking welfare.
The Telegraph reported:
Anjem Choudary was secretly filmed mocking non-Muslims for working in 9-5 jobs their whole lives, and told followers that some revered Islamic figures had only ever worked one or two days a year.
"The rest of the year they were busy with jihad [holy war] and things like that," he said. "People will say, 'Ah, but you are not working'.
"But the normal situation is for you to take money from the kuffar [non-believers].
"So we take Jihad Seeker's Allowance. You need to get support."
He went on to tell a 30-strong crowd: "We are going to take England — the Muslims are coming."
Ridiculing the daily lives of UK workers, Choudary said: "You find people are busy working the whole of their life. They wake up at 7 o'clock. They go to work at 9 o'clock.
"They work for eight, nine hours a day. They come home at 7 o'clock, watch EastEnders, sleep, and they do that for 40 years of their life. That is called slavery."
Choudary, a father-of-four, claims more than £25,000 a year in benefits, £8,000 more than the take-home pay of some soldiers fighting the Taliban in Afghanistan, according to the Sun, which covertly filmed the preacher at three meetings.

Sunday 24th April
An equinox is an astronomical event in which the plane of Earth's equator passes through the center of the Sun, which occurs twice each year, around 20 March and 23 September. On an equinox, day and night are of approximately equal duration all over the planet. The name is derived from the Latin aequus (equal) and nox (night), because at the equinox the night and day are nearly equally long.
Climb Catalunya has been the Castle´s preferred overseas climbing holiday partner for many years. With our shared commitment to sustainability and sustainable travel Climb Catlunya offer an opportunity for you to climb in the sun and connect with nature whilst minimising the ecological footprint of your holiday.
Climb Catalunya offer discounted trips for people travelling by land, have an organic garden that provides food produce for their groups and have launched the first sustainability focused climbers refuge in Spain.
People gathered around the fire to sing songs led by the Castle Choir whilst children made recycled musical instruments and helped to hang cider soaked toast in the apple trees for birds. A Wassail is a traditional celebration of orchards, the rituals performed help to ensure a good and plentiful harvest for the coming year.
What's a Disco Soup?!?
The Castle Café is looking for a chef who is passionate about sustainable vegetarian and vegan food and will be excited about working with our existing kitchen team and our garden team to produce great value, healthy food for hungry climbers!
You should:
Like the proverbial pig in muck, I've taken a genuine liking to jumping in the compost bins at the Castle during my garden apprenticeship. It's a place to witness first hand the circle of life as scraps from the cafe and climbers rots and turns magically into dark rich compost that we then use to grow delicious new vegetables in.
We are in the season of autumnal abundance, with harvests occurring all over London's gardens, growing sites and city farms. Hedgerows are plentiful and trees are laden with sweet fruits ready for the picking. Yet in many gardens around the city a great deal of fruit falls to the ground every year simply to return to the earth rather than feeding people. At the same time as this natural supply is ready to drop, the UK is importing apples and pears from countries as diverse as France, New Zealand and the South Africa.
For over ten years The Castle has organised climbing holidays in Northern Spain with Climb Catalunya. Catalunya is graced with excellent weather and a wide variety of crags from adventurous multi-pitch, hard-core tufa-filled caves and friendly single-pitch venues all in the midst of stunning scenery.

Today I had an opportunity
I was invited to speak to the elementary principals at their meeting today, on the subject of Strong Libraries = Strong Schools. I was SO excited about this opportunity, y'all. I just wanted to do it justice.
I am passionate about libraries and librarians. I had a captive audience. BUT...my goal was to make a positive difference, not just not bore them.
I had a PowerPoint--a short one--about 10 slides. Mostly quotes on pictures. A few with a few sentences. None text heavy.
I had a library swag bag for each of the principals that I handed out at the very end of my short presentation.
Each bag contained:
A bottled water: because libraries with certified librarians are VITAL, not an "extra"
A LARGE chocolate bar: because reading for pleasure is so very sweet and we make that happen. We create a love of reading, a culture of literacy in our schools.
A hand sanitizer: because we reach EVERY person in our schools
A bookmark: because I want to know what THEY are reading. Are they reading to their students? Are they reading for pleasure? The bookmarks are ones I made especially for this event. They said Strong Libraries = Strong Schools
Nacogdoches ISD (heart) School Libraries
I am really happy with how the meeting went. I sincerely hope that I will be invited back because I certainly have more to say on this subject!
I am feeling SO good about today y'all!

Barney Frank, Massachusetts 4th District U.S. Congressman, is making headlines outside of Massachusetts for his recent display of chutzpa regarding General Motor's. Apparently the company's decision to close several plants around the country, was ok with Mr. Frank until it was one in his own district. Frank, who is up for re-election in 2010, called General Motor's CEO, Henderson, and bluntly demanded that the GM plant scheduled for closure in his district remain open. Apparently, E. Thomas McClanahan, a columnist for the Star, felt that Mr. Frank overstepped a bit. (One would think) However, his opinion was based upon promises from President Obama that once the Government owned control of businesses, specifically the auto makers, there would be no intervention. Either Barney didn't get the memo, or this was a given from the get-go – certain "High-Profile" controlling members of Congress would be able to play fast and loose with Government Owned Entities, demanding that CEO's (who's jobs now depend upon the whims of the administration and certain members of Congress), do their bidding.
Frank is not the only Member of Congress protesting plan closings in their districts; Lamar Alexander a Republican Representative from Tennessee, blasted Frank over his meddling with GM – a plant is scheduled to close in Alexander's District, and he noted that all congressmen would be fighting for their districts and plant closings, however, he did not call and "explain" the importance of keeping his districts' plant open – unlike Mr. Frank.
Video Here:
Barney Frank, who is directly linked to the meltdown of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mack which led to the entire financial crisis, is seeking re-election in the 4th district. District residents will have the opportunity to send a message of fiscal restraint to Washington, help their own district (little is being done to alleviate the pain of the 4th district, which relies heavily on the fishing industry and has one of the highest unemployment rates in the state), and the rest of the country. Earl Sholley, a graduate of the University of Scranton, the University of Massachusetts who also studied at the University of Madrid, Spain, served in the Peach Corp. as well as the U.S. Army. A business owner for over 24 years, Mr. Sholley will challenge Frank for a second time in 2010. Mr. Sholley , ran against Frank in 2008, and although Mr. Frank won the district, Mr. Sholley gained a foothold, garnering not only all the Republican votes, but a percentage of the Independent voters in the district. 2008 was not a friendly year toward any Republican and the 4th districts' high percentage of voters are designated as "unenrolled" will make the 2010 campaign intersting. Therefore, Mr. Frank may have to actually campaign in his district, with the outcome, this time, uncertain. Therefore, to the irate editorial columnist at the Kansas City Star: take Heart, there is hope in Massachusetts that real Change is possible. A return to fiscal sanity and less Federal intervention – for more information on Mr. Sholley, visit Sholley For Congress.

Two Maldivians were arrested by the Police Special Task Force (STF) on charges of possessing 1,925 ecstasy pills with a street value of more than Rs.10 million during a raid at Nadimala in Dehiwala last night.
The STF said this was the largest quantity of such pills it had detected.
It said the two Maldivians had imported the pills from The Netherlands through a courier service.
The suspects aged 19 and 25 were residing at apartments in Kalubowila and Dehiwala.
The arrests were made on a tip off while they were on their way to sell the pills to customers.
The STF said it believed that apart from selling these pills in Sri Lanka, the suspects were exporting them to other countries as well.
The raid was conducted by personnel led by STF Organized Crimes Unit OIC Chief Inspector Nadeeka Silva on the instructions of STF Commandant Senior DIG M.R. Lateef.
The suspects were handed over to the Police Narcotic Bureau.(Darshana Sanjeewa)

Innu may hunt caribou despite ban
Simeon Tshakapesh, Innu band chief in Natuashish, says he will continue to hunt George River caribou despite a five-year ban announced by the provincial government on Monday.
He said that mining and exploration are more disruptive to the herd than aboriginal hunting.
"If they're so sincere about the George River herd in Newfoundland and Labrador, especially the Labrador coast, I think they should stop the ... mining and exploration," Tshakapesh said.
Despite the moratorium on the herd, Tshakapesh said he will continue to hunt unless government takes similar measures with explorative mining in the area.
"I wouldn't hunt if they say, 'Okay, we want to save the caribou herd, we're going to shut all the exploration, mining companies, and other projects — we're going to shut it down for the next five years,'" he said.
Caribou hunt important to culture
Prote Poker, grand chief of the Innu Nation, said that the ban is unjustified and it is a threat to their way of life.
"We've been talking to our elders, and they did not agree to a total ban on our people," Proker told the St. John's Telegram. "We always favour conservation, but a total ban is not justified."
Proker will be meeting with staff and elders on Tuesday afternoon to discuss the ban.
According to Tshakapesh, banning the hunt will disrupt the culture of the Innu people in Labrador.
"If people want to hunt, they will hunt. I've got no authority to say, 'don't hunt, don't eat.' I have no authority to that," he said.
Environment and Conservation Minister Tom Hedderson said that the ban is about conservation, and anyone caught hunting the caribou will be charged.
"We leave it to our enforcement officers ... they know how to deal with this sort of a thing, and literally anyone that's taking caribou in Labrador now are doing it against the law," said Hedderson.
Aboriginal hunting rights not clear cut
If the Innu to continue hunting the George River caribou herd, a judge will have to decide what takes precedence: aboriginal rights or conservation.
The Supreme Court of Canada decided aboriginal people have hunting rights, but even those rights have certain limitations.
Aboriginal Affairs Minister Felix Collins said that the law applies to everyone, and that includes aboriginal people.
"We have no choice in this situation but to enforce this ban," Collins said. "The herd is under tremendous pressure."
Sandra Gogal, a lawyer who specializes in aboriginal law, said that there is not a clear-cut line where conservation and rights are concerned.
"Aboriginal rights are not absolute, and they may be lawfully infringed if the infringement is aimed at conservation measures," Gogal said.
If the issue went to court, it would be the government making its case as much as the Innu.
"You know if it was challenged, then the Crown is going to have to justify whether or not there was a valid conservation objective."
Government has threatened to charge Innu hunters in the past, but in the rare cases it does, the charges do not often stick.
The provincial government announced a five-year hunting ban on Monday due to the drastic population drop of the herd.

Health Benefits of cashew nut
Nothing can beat this healthy snack for become part of your healthy diet. Cashew nut is a kidney shaped seed that almost exposed to the element that attached right below cashew apple. Cashew apple is a native plants in the coastal area of northeastern Brazil. In this article we will offer some information on the health benefits of cashew nut.
Health Benefits of cashew nuts
The monounsaturated fats
Cashew nuts have low fat content, compared to other form of nuts. Approximately 82% of cashew's fats are unsaturated fatty acid. and 66% of that 82% fats are heart healthy monounsaturated fat which similar to what found in olive oil. Research on the effect at patients with diabetes show that monounsaturated fat can be added to low fat diet. The effect is lowering of triglycerides level in the patient's bloodstream. Triglycerides is a form of fat which associated with elevated risk of heart attack.
Thus having low monounsaturated fat like one provided by cashew nuts would benefits your body.
Love and crazy for your heart ? Go nuts.
Love your heart ? Go nuts. Not only low fat and monounsaturated fat contents of cashew nuts are good for diabetes it's also benefit your heart too.
Based on study published by the British Journal of Nutrition. Nuts and cashew nuts are identified as the highest source of antioxidant content. The study also suggest that their antioxidant contents might be the key for the health benefits of cashew nuts to your heart and overall circulation system.
The high antioxidant content of cashew nut might also explain the result seen in previous study about dramatic decrease of death risk from cardiovascular and coronary heart disease observed in women. The research subject routinely consume cashew and other nuts including peanut butter. The total death rate decreased by 11 to 19% for nut/peanut butter intake once every week and 1-4 times per week.
Thus long story short, if you love your heart and want to live longer. Go nuts. handful of cashews, peanut butter at least 4 times a week. To enjoy one of the wonderful health benefits of cashew nuts

There is a common phrase –accidents happen. At the end of the day accidents can't always be avoided. They can occur at any time and to anyone. This applies to all types of accidents whether it is an auto accident, boating accident, or trucking accident.
Trucking accidents are historically more complex than your typical auto accident because they often involve collisions with large commercial vehicles such as tractor trailers. As a result, these accidents often leave involved parties with extensive injuries.
If you or a loved one is a victim of a trucking accident due to someone else's negligence then you deserve compensation for your lost wages. The personal injury lawyers at the Law Office of Nathan W. Carter, Esq in Lancaster, PA are experienced in handling all types of auto accidents including trucking accidents. When you choose our law firm to take on your case you'll receive personal attention from the start. Call (717) 513-9893 to discuss your options for your personal injury case!

Attached is the link to Superior's downloadable inventory lists for all your SUPERIOR THREADS!!
These are obviously for the truly anal thread lovers...and guess what? I have friends who sit and inventory every spool of thread they have! Sheez...I just go to my cabinet and hope and pray I haven't given the one I want away! I hope the overly obsessive of you enjoy these spreadsheets and inventory lists! Personally, I want to have a WALL OF THREAD, don't you? I would like to sit down and sew and not have to worry about not having the right thread. Buy one or two spools a month I always say. No one can have too much thread!
I highly recommend the new Magnifico, Fantastico, and Twist threads. Our class has been using them with wonderful success on many different machines, even one old Singer (but don't worry, she finally bought a new Pfaff! She said now she feels like she has been sewing on a covered wagon. What a difference a new machine makes.)
I also recommend the So Fine #40 variegated. It is a polyester that has many of the same colors as King Tut. If you are ever doubtful about what color thread to use on a particular quilt, So Fine #40 makes a great piecing thread. It is a 40 wt., but not too fat to piece with.
You can use our inventory list to keep track of your personal thread supply, business inventory, or to plan for your next order.
In order to open the files, you will need software to open Microsoft Excel files or Adobe PDF files.

Amy has a master's degree in secondary education and has taught math at a public charter high school.
On the surface, solving quadratic inequalities using two binomials sounds like a dry and boring topic. And, it might be, but knowing how to do this is useful in the real world. Say you work at a circus and need to figure out when one ball is underneath another ball when you throw each ball into the air; you can use what you learn in this video lesson to find the answer.
To begin, let's review some important terms. A quadratic inequality is an inequality where, after moving all your terms to one side, you end up with a quadratic on the one side, like this:
What do we know about quadratic expressions? We know that, in general, a quadratic has three terms in it: a term with a squared variable, a term with a single variable, and a term with only a number. The squared variable term is the part that makes the expression a quadratic.
We also know that a quadratic expression can also have less than three terms. As long as it has the squared variable term, then it is a quadratic. Because we have two sides to our inequality, our original problem can have terms on both sides. As long as you end up with a quadratic after moving all your terms to one side, you are working with a quadratic inequality. The inequality below, for example, is also a quadratic inequality.
We will use this inequality to show the two easy parts to solving quadratic inequalities.
If our first quadratic expression tells us the path of the first ball, and the second quadratic expression tells us the path of our second ball, then solving the inequality will tell us when our first ball is underneath the second ball.
So, now let's see how to go about solving this inequality.
The first part of the solution is to move everything to the left side. We will use algebra skills to do this. We will subtract and add the terms on the right side to both sides of the equations as needed to clear the right side. We look at what we have on the right side. We have a -6 and a -x^2 term. To move the -x^2 term, we add it to both sides and combine like terms. To move the -6 term, we add it to both sides as well and combine like terms. Like terms are terms with the same variable and same exponent. After doing this, we end up with a zero on the right side. On the left we have -x^2 + 5x + 6.
We have moved all our terms to one side, and we now have one combined quadratic to solve for. After this first part, we are ready for part two, which is solving the combined quadratic for zero and getting our answer.
To finish solving our quadratic inequality, we need to solve the combined quadratic for zero by temporarily changing the inequality sign into an equal sign. We can use what we know about factoring quadratics to find our zeroes. Our quadratic factors into this:
After factoring, to find our zeroes, we set each factor equal to zero, and solve for the variable. We set the first factor, -x - 1, equal to zero to find the first zero. Solving for x, we add 1 to both sides to get -x = 1. We then multiply by -1 on both sides to get x = -1 for our first zero. We set our second factor, x - 6, equal to zero to find the second zero. We then add 6 to both sides to get x = 6 as our next zero. Our zeroes are located where x is -1 and 6.
From the zeroes that we have just found, we will now label a number of ranges based on the number of zeroes. In our case, we have a range where x < -1, another range where x is > -1 and x < 6, and a third where x > 6.
Our correct answer is one of these ranges. To figure out which range is the correct answer, we can graph our combined quadratic or think about the properties of quadratics. What we want to do is to find the range or ranges where our combined quadratic fits the inequality. For our problem, we need to find the parts where the quadratic is less than zero.
Let's think about the properties of quadratics. We know that if the x^2 term is negative, the quadratic is a parabola that opens downward. If the parabola opens downward, then the parts below zero are the parts that are outside the two zeroes or the area outside the middle area. So, our answer is the ranges of x < -1 and x > 6. Our answer has two ranges, and that's okay. Our answer tells us that when x < -1 or x > 6, our first ball is under our second ball.
We have used less than and greater than symbols since our inequality problem uses a less than symbol instead of a less than or equal to symbol. If it had an inequality sign with an 'or equal' part, then our answer ranges would use the symbol with the 'or equal' part as well.
We can summarize the steps we took to solving quadratic inequalities using two binomials to these:
Solving these types of problems is not difficult and is useful for finding out real-world solutions, such as our two balls circus scenario.

Zachary's little sister
It's been a while since we've posted anything, so here's a very special picture of Zachary's little sister.
This morning Victoria was moving around with her little hands balled up into fists in front of her. She gave us a big yawn as if to show how bored she was with the whole procedure. She's measuring big so we're expecting a very healthy baby come June.

Leopards end the suspense
By JACK HILL III / Staff Correspondent
SMITHSBURG - With its pressure defense and speedy guards, the Smithsburg girls basketball team likes things to be fast and quick on the court.
Wednesday night, they included the scoreboard in that process.
The No. 4 Leopards scored the first 21 points of the game, holding North Hagerstown scoreless for 10 1/2 minutes to win 71-25 in the Monocacy Valley Athletic League.
"We just came out and played a full-court game," Smithsburg coach Jimmy Powell said. "We used our pressure defense to cause a lot of turnovers tonight. We were playing good team basketball tonight as we saw the open players and passed the ball to them extremely well."
Smithsburg (13-2, 9-2) stayed 1 1/2 games behind Walkersville in the league standings and dealt North's slim title hopes a fatal blow all in the same night.

Academically I know there are reasons to hold it- total security (under £75k with each institution) and liquidity- but I just hate it. Here's why:
At the moment, for a simple example, you might deposit £100k with a bank. They might pay you 0.1% interest, maybe as much as 0.5%pa if you're lucky. At the same time they don't just use this money to lend out at, say, 2% interest and keep the 1.9% difference. They 'multiply up' the amount they can lend based on your deposit and make many times that. Barely any of this money goes to you- it goes to running vast corporations, paying massive bonuses and returns to shareholders.
They have a license to print money. At the same time they have brought the world to the brink of ruin, plunged public finances around the world into a mess and have merrily bounced back to making record profits.
I don't want my money to be any part of that.
Depositing your money with banks is actually a bit risky. If the bank goes bust then you should lose your money. This should give the bank an incentive to be careful with your money so that they attract deposits. As things are they can be as risky as they like (as long as they get licensed) and still attract savers because of the Financial Services Compensation Scheme which guarantees deposits up to £75k. This just strikes me as a totally unfair subsidy to incredibly profitable institutions.
But it either involves locking your money away (so negating one of the reasons to hold cash in the first place) or complicated routines with current accounts. I keep considering the complicated routines (MoneySavingExpert is excellent for this info) but can't bring myself to do it. I tot-up that it might be worth a few hundred pounds a year to do it but it's hassle I don't need and it would still be supporting the banks.
At these rates you are losing money next to the rising cost of living each year. Guaranteed.
Fair enough, everything but cash will go up and down in value over time and you stand a chance of getting back less than you originally invest, but at least this gives you a shot at keeping up with inflation.
I'm not sure why but I, and most people, are far happier to spend cash savings than even totally liquid investments. Maybe it's just the feeling that cash isn't doing anything at all these days whereas investments have a purpose, but whatever the reason it does seem to be the case. If I want my savings to be there for the medium to long term I don't want to be tempted out of them.
Here the money is invested directly into companies around the world- when they make profits (as they tend to) you are directly rewarded. Like cash the money is almost totally liquid (it takes about 10 days to withdraw) and costs nothing to invest or withdraw. While the Lower Risk ('Conservative') Fund has dropped in value occasionally (as you would expect from any legitimate investment) it has returned over 20% over the last five years, easily outpacing cash and inflation. The higher risk funds have performed significantly better.
It takes less time to set up than a new savings account and no time at all to run. While the investments will track up and down in value your money is secure as EZ ISA and all the organisations we use are fully FCA regulated.
