Ah yes, finally someone doing this! I've always thought it would be awesome if you could get a KDR stat too. cause even if you lose with bad teammates you still might have done really well and it's never reflected in the limited wargame statcard

Natalie and Guy 10.07.15
On Friday 10th July after much planning and preparation, Natalie and Guy became husband and wife, cheered on by family and friends in a beautiful courtyard wedding in front of the barn at Herons farm.
As an overwhelmed Natalie walked up the aisle to meet an equally teary Guy the couple took their 1st kiss and were announced Mr and Mrs Barker,
confetti flying it was of to the main lawn for a group photo before returning for arrival drinks. In pride of place in the courtyard was Guys old vintage land rover laden with bunting, hosting kegs of real ale on its wings and pimms on tap sat near by on giant whisky barrels for guests to help themselves.
Inside the barn rows of tables were laid for a "posh picnic", red checkered table runners set the scene with lovely moss covered boxes of flowers and brightly coloured napkins matching the bunting and lanterns to give a radiant summer feel.
As the carafe's of cucumber gin english garden cocktail were placed down, the food began to flow
Sliced honey roast Ham
Tian of crab and avocado
Crispy smoked salmon 'scotch' egg
Chedder, Ale Chutney and Sage Tarlet
Richly Dressed Red Onion Coleslaw
Potato Salad 'french style'
Asparagus, maple smoked bacon and goats cheese salad
Green leaf, cucumber and yellow tomato salad
Followed by a Trio of stunning deserts
Mini scones with clotted cream and strawberry jam preserve, Pimms Jelly with raspberry spheres and a chocolate, salt caramel tart.
Outside tea and coffee awaited full and happy guests and garden games were put out for afternoon fun in the late sunshine,the land rover now turning into a fabulous photo booth, with comical props for all to enjoy.
Back into the barn and Natalie and Guy were now ready to cut their wedding cake, a delicious 3 tiered naked lemon cake, followed by an eagerly awaited 1st dance.
Cake served and pulled pork baps devoured everyone was set to dane the night away!
Congratulations to you both, what an amazing day! and an absolute pleasure to have been their to share it with you

Good things come in small chassis
Olympus has announced the world's smallest camera with inter-changeable lenses – the Olympus PEN E-PM1 Mini. Besides being a mouthful, the slick little snapper features a 12-megapixel sensor, full manual control, 1080i video capture and a host of lenses to choose from. The camera's sell is that it provide DSLR-like photo quality in your pocket – and at a pretty reasonable $500 (Rs.23,000).
Last week Apple icon Steve Jobs handed in his resignation as CEO of the world's most valuable company. Though Jobs, who has suffered serious ill health in recent years, has taken up position as chairman of the board, speculation is rife about whether the company can continue its creative and business winning streak. The stock markets seem to think not, as shares in Sony and Nokia rose after the news of Jobs' departure. Meanwhile Tim Cook, Apple's respected but quiet chief operating officer, is now in the spotlight, and the upcoming launch of the iPhone 5 will be the first test of whether he has enough of Jobs' trademark charisma to keep the market inspired.
Belle amie
Nokia aren't giving up on Symbian just yet. The Espoo-based company launched 3 new handsets – Nokia 600, 700 and 701 – all of which run the latest Symbian, Belle. The new OS is a bold attempt to bridge the gap between Symbian and its rivals, with a notification bar much like Android, in addition to 6 separate home-screens. Belle also supports NFC (Near Field Communication), a wireless protocol that enables transactions and data exchange. The 3 devices will be released worldwide in the next few weeks.
Tid bits
In other tech news this week, Microsoft announced that front-facing cameras in their smartphones will be fully integrated with Skype in the upcoming "Mango" update. Good to see Microsoft's $9.5 billion purchase is already producing fruit.
RIM confirmed last week's speculation (including on GQIndia.com) and confirmed the release of BBM Music. RIM has promised to expand the service into Asia later this year.

LTE is rapidly becoming the standard of choice for mobile network operators around the world. The reliability of an LTE network hinges on its eNodeB hardware that links the network to the users' devices. Conventional eNodeBs are straining to meet the exploding demand for data. Altiostar is the mobile telecommunication industry's first provider of Network Function Virtualization (NFV) C-RAN with Ethernet fronthaul. Altiostar's remarkable approach enables more widespread deployment of the C-RAN architecture to support today's software and data-intensive requirements. To maximize reliability and deliver a quality user experience, Altiostar needed an NFV platform that offered carrier grade availability while using open source software, could scale to support a large eNodeB cluster, and was optimized for Intel® hardware for fast data path and ultra low latency call processing. Altiostar didn't want to build this unique platform by themselves.
Wind River® Titanium Server, the comprehensive software platform for NFV, met all of Altiostar's requirements. Titanium Server enables an NFV infrastructure to achieve the "always on" reliability and high performance that telecommunication networks demand. In addition, by leveraging proven, commercial off-the-shelf software, Altiostar helped significantly drive down the total cost of ownership for its customers. By selecting Wind River® Titanium Server, a fully integrated and optimized platform, Altiostar was able to speed time-to-market and deliver a dependable product that helped mobile network operators expand their LTE networks quickly and efficiently, in the most feature-rich and cost-effective way.

18 And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the noise of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw it, they removed, and stood afar off.
19 And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear: but let not God speak with us, lest we die.
20 And Moses said unto the people, Fear not: for God is come to prove you, and that his fear may be before your faces, that ye sin not.
21 And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God was.
K.J.V. Bible Text
My Thoughts:
When God came down upon the mountain and the people saw the thundering and lightning, they ran away and stood far off. They told Moses that they were afraid to hear God speak "lest we die". They told Moses to speak to them instead and although the scripture does not, at least in this Bible version explicitly say so, I presume they wanted Moses to relay to them the word of God.
Moses told the people not to be afraid. This passage in the scripture: "…, Fear not: for God is come to prove you, and that his fear may be before your faces, that ye sin not," seems to say to me that God wanted them to have some fear so that they would be unwilling to sin and have the fearfulness of God's wrath brought upon them.
Moses, who had by this time had many conversations with God, went into the thick darkness that was around God and drew near.
Yet, although Moses had been in many prior conversations with God, I do not recall God making such a dramatic appearance before. Surely, even Moses was—if not actually frightened—at least greatly awed by the awesome display that accompanied the arrival of the Lord.

Delopmental Genocide
The 2002 paper, "An Account of the Theory of Genocide" attempts to identify types of genocide, and to fill holes in the U.N.'s Genocide Convention of 1948. The most notable omission of the convention was "politicide"--the killing of human groups because of political affiliation. In order to come up with a more comprehensive description of genocide, the paper describes five major types of genocide: Progressive (towards the 'classless' society), Reactionary (towards the 'racially pure' state or 'common marketisation' of the world), Developmental (eliminating 'backward' peoples and their economies), Retributive (taking revenge), and hegemonic (seizing and holding power.)
Developmental genocide has become an increasing threat in recent decades as the growing demands of the industrial countries for raw materials has led to an ever increasing exploitation of resources in developing countries--often on indigenous lands. Resource Rebels, by Al Gedicks, documents the destruction of indigenous peoples, their habitats, and livelihoods by mining and oil companies.
From the Brazilian rain forests to the Australian outback, mining and drilling operations have brought with them military occupation, systematic human rights abuses, mass killings, arbitrary executions, and destruction of food supply. Between 1900 and 1957, Brazil alone lost more than 80 tribes. Total native population dropped from a million to less than 200,000. Anthropologist John Bodley lays the blame on resource exploitation;
The disappearance of tribal cultures over much of the world in the past 150 years can be seen as the direct result of government policies designed to facilitate the exploitation of tribal resources for the health of industrial civilization.
Gedicks describes the process of developmental genocide;
It involves a dehumanization of those who stand in the way of the economic exploitation of valuable resources. The basic element of this process involves a degradation of the victim, implying their inferiority or worthlessness. Native communities who occupy lands containing untapped resources are frequently described as "primitive," "savages" or "obstacles." From the perspective of the "members of the culture of consumption," it follows that if another culture's resources appear to be underexploited, this is all the justification needed to take those resources.An illustrative case study published by MiningWatch Canada details the mining operations of the Canadian company, Goldcorp. Through a series of mergers and acquisitions, Goldorp has become the third largest gold producer in North America, with mines in Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico and the United States.
In its worldwide operations, Goldcorp has run up a record of union busting, disregard of native votes against the mines, toxic waste spills, depletion of local water sources, evasion of taxes, and violent repression of dissent. Goldcorp prides itself on being a "low cost" producer, but low production costs have come with a high human cost.
Goldcorp's Alumberra mine in Argentina, one of the world's largest and lowest cost gold, silver, and copper operations, has drained local rivers, forcing people to abandon their farmlands. Numerous environmental problems have been documented, including the spillage of 21,000 kg of ammonium nitrate, clouds of powder from mine blasts, containing heavy metal pollutants that afflict populated areas, and leaks containing high levels of arsenic, cadmium, copper, mercury, selenium and strontium. Mine operations have caused desertification, sickness, and the destruction of the local social and economic fabric.
At the Amapari mine in Brazil, Goldcorp received a ten year tax holiday from the government, while using its partner, Peak Gold Inc., as a "loss leader" company, allowing Goldcorp to declare an operating loss at the mine. More serious has been the crackdown on small scale, indigenous miners, garimpeiros, who mine to make their own living. In 2000, there were an estimated 700,000 garimpeiros in Brazil. Goldcorp has come into conflict with the garimpeiros in the Amapari mine. Goldcorp has not revealed what methods it has used to deal with the garimpeiros.
In Guatemala, Golldcorp's Marlin mine ran into serious opposition from the indigenous population in the region. Protests against the mine resulted in two deaths and numerous injuries. The residents of indigenous villages in Sipicapa organized a referendum using the International Labor Organization's Convention 169, which affirms the right of indigenous communities to be consulted before industrial activities take place on their land. The referendum resulted in an overwhelming rejection of the mine. Unwilling to accept the will of the people, the company filed an unconstitutionality suit as well as an appeal against the referendum. In May, 2007, the Guatemalan Constitutional Court ruled that the referendum was unconstitutional, although observers suggested that the ruling was influenced by political, economic and commercial interests.
Goldcorp's San Martin mine in Honduras has been criticized by natives as being so exploitative they have likened it to a new form of colonialism. Local environmental activists accuse the mine of drying up water resources needed for crops and villages. The mine's heap leeching techniques, in which diluted cyanide is sprayed over huge piles of quarried rock to separate the microscopic flecks of gold has resulted in the poisoning of streams and groundwater with toxic heavy metals. Since mining began nearby villages have experienced skin problems, hair loss, increasing numbers of miscarriages, and birth defects. Independent testing has confirmed the presence of dangerous levels of heavy metals in the local population, but the Honduran government has so far refused to officially release the results of the tests. The District Attorney for the Environment issued warrants against the company, claiming that the mine was a threat to the health of local inhabitants, only to have them ignored.
Although Goldcorp denies that pollution from the mine has caused these illnesses, environmental studies of Goldcorp's Marigold mine in the U.S. cast serious doubt over these claims. In November, 2006, Great Basin Mine Watch and Earthworks reported that Goldcorp's predecessor, Glamis Gold, had been caught seriously under-reporting mercury pollution from the mine. The company was forced to revise it's report of mercury releases eight thousand percent for 2003 and six thousand percent for 2002. In northern Canada, the costs of cleaning pollution from abandoned mines are expected to run over half a billion dollars, dwarfing the $150 million in royalties collected by the government.
Worse are the human rights problems that result from mining projects in developing nations. A 2005 Canadian Parliamentary Committee studied well documented cases of death threats, assassinations, toxic accidents and destruction of protected areas that mining companies have been implicated in. Although the committee recommended new laws that would hold companies accountable for these abuses, the government has yet to act.
Abuses such as these are a chronic problem around the world. Mining expert Roger Moody claims that the root cause of this intensified assault against native peoples has been a "radical shift" away from financing mining projects backed by shareholders and state enterprises toward those bankrolled by multilateral development agencies and regional banks. In 1997 alone, the World Bank Group lent $987 million for mining projects. Resistance to these projects results in increasing repression by the national governments involved. The result is a viscous circle; half of the debts in Third World states come from the purchase of weapons which are used in part to crush resistance to multinational development projects. The foreign corporations extract the wealth, leaving the local governments with little except debt and devastated environments.

Magic of the Moon Spell No. 1 (Magic Moon Water)
Leave a jug of spring water out in the light of the Full Moon. This water is excellent for washing your face to impart beauty and purity and can also be used to energetically cleanse crystals and imbue them with the magic of the Full Moon.
Magic of the Moon Spell No. 2 (Prosperity Spell)
What you need:
Silver coin
Cauldron or pot
Half fill the pot with water and drop a silver coin into it. Position the pot or cauldron so the light of the Full Moon shines onto the water. Gently sweep your hands above the surface, symbolically gathering up the Moon's silver.
While you are gathering the Moon's silver, say:
La Luna, beautiful Lady of the Moon, bring to me your wealth right soon. Fill my hands with silver and gold. All you give, my hands can hold.
Repeat this chant three times. When you are finished, pour the water upon the Earth. This is most effective done during the Full Moon.

The thrilling first week of the Tour de France will be cranked up a notch Wednesday when the race prepares for the first serious climbs.
But ahead of Thursday's potentially hazardous racing terrain hosts an appetizer to the Pyreneean stages this weekend, Robbie McEwen and Company will be more determined than ever to finally dispute a bunch sprint.
Since the start of the race, McEwen - a 12-time stage winner - and his fellow fast men have picked up crumbs where they would normally have hoped to be dining on the main prize of a stage win.
The first stage was an uphill finish and ruled most of the sprinters out, the second stage was won by sprinter Thor Hushovd after he was led to the line past all his rivals, and the third stage saw Frenchman Samuel Dumoulin win a sprint against American William Krischkorn after a successful four-man breakaway.
Coming after Tuesday's fourth stage time trial, the fifth stage, at 232 km, is the longest of the race and will take the peloton over mainly flat terrain from Cholet to Chateauroux.
Breakaways are a certainty, but the main bunch is unlikely to keep a tighter leash on the frontrunners than they did on Monday.
Changeable wind conditions, the determination of the breakaway and a rather lax attitude from the sprinters' teams combined to make sure Hushovd and McEwen were left without a chance of victory.
American Christian Vande Velde admitted the lack of cohesion among the sprinters teams, who normally work together to bring back the escapees, had been doomed because of the weather - and lack of cooperation.
"It's a case of cat and mouse and who's going to put their guys up there first," he told AFP. "They left it too late and there wasn't enough cohesion left in the peloton to bring it back. If you don't bring it back before (the break benefits from) the tailwind, you're not going to bring it back."

I have a Qt Windows app (developed in QtCreator) that I'd like to create a windows install CD. Does QtCreator have a feature that makes this possible? Or do I have to use NSIS ? Please help.
- Nkumar
You can also check out the Qt Installer framework, this lets you make cross-platform installers.
Qt Creator doesn't do installers. NSIS or WiX are probably your best bets here.
For windows you can use one of these:
Prepare your installer and then burn in to CD. You can also add an autorun.inf file to make the installer start automagically :) Although i heard that microsoft is planing to disable the autorun feature due to security reasons.
If you're developing cross-platform versions then each linux distribution has it's own installation systems.
For example:
Debian,Ubuntu ... - *.deb Redhat,openSuse, .. - *.rpm

I have some weird phobias, and I readily admit it. I am terrified of Tatoo from Fantasy Island and have been since before I can remember. I am also scared to death of mice. However, my son loves mice. I am not sure if he likes them because he likes them or because he is fascinated with them because of my phobia. Either way, his fascination grosses me out, and I cannot get past it.
My fear of mice goes as far back as junior high when I ended up in a cabin at summer camp infested with them. The multiple boxes of mouse poisoning should have been the first clue that something was wrong. The first night was so horrible. It started shortly after lights out when someone complained that something ran across her arm. Then something ran across someone else's legs. The circus continued through the night and ended with all of us huddled in just a few of the beds and exhausted. A few days later, one of the girls discovered a dead mouse in her bed. Not too long after that experience, I was cleaning the rabbit barn at my house and went to throw a box of straw on the strawberry patch when a whole family came out with it and ran across my feet. Ever since, I have had an immense fear of the small creatures.
Now jump forward to the present. I know we had a mouse in the house a few years ago, and it was caught within five minutes of the discovery, and the cupboard that it came through has been pretty much unused since. I haven't seen any evidence of mice in the house, so I have tried to put it out of my mind.
Well, I had misplaced something, like I often do. It had been so long since I needed this particular item that after much searching, I thought that maybe I had put it in that cupboard. So I opened the cupboard, and I saw an overturned mouse trap, screamed, and promptly shut the cupboard. Later, I took my packing tape and taped the cupboard shut. Yes I know it seems like I went quite overboard, but I couldn't help it. When my husband got home a few days later, I asked him to dispose of the mouse and set a new trap while I stayed about two rooms away. I could tell he thought I was being ridiculous especially when it turned out that the mouse was very dead as in it may have been there for a year, maybe longer.
Since the incident, my husband sprayed foam where he thought it may have come through and set another trap which I made him check the other day. My son, however, has been having a field day with teasing him mama about what he believes to be a silly little fear. He has chased me with toy mice, talked about how he wants pet mice, and just harasses me whenever he gets a chance.
I guess I should be glad that my fear has not transferred to him, but at the same time, I am a little miffed that he has no sympathy for me whatsoever. It wouldn't surprise me to find a toy pest in my bed one of these days. I love him though, even if he is a little stinker, and I am glad that he can joke about it instead of being a scaredy cat like me!

sorryyoufeeluncomfortable presents:
Thurs 19 April - Sunday 20 May
Preview event: Sat 21 Apr 6-9pm with live performances by Imani Robinson and Jacob V Joyce
As part of Glasgow International 2018 Supported Programme
Halima Haruna, Jacob V Joyce, Christopher Kirubi, Mayfly Mutyambizi, Rabz Lansiquot & Imani Robinson.
sorryyoufeeluncomfortable is a London-based collective that creates intentional spaces for deep study, conversation and multi-disciplinary art-making.
(BUT) WHAT ARE YOU DOING ABOUT WHITE SUPREMACY? includes multi-disciplinary work from 6 Black artists, writers and makers: Christopher Kirubi, Halima Haruna, Rabz Lansiquot, Mayfly Mutyambizi, Imani Robinson & Jacob V Joyce. Artists will respond in lose or direct ways to the title question, for example, they may invert the question in order to ask: "What is white supremacy doing to you?", or they may suggest that as Black artists, to make work of any subject matter, or of none at all, is to resist, to survive and to "do something". The title (BUT) WHAT ARE YOU DOING ABOUT WHITE SUPREMACY? acts both as a refusal (you come here expecting me to tell you what to do, but I only show you my art and make you see what you already know) and an acknowledgement that we are forced to share our lives with white supremacy. The question looms and it persists... the question is tiresome... the question is discomforting.
The static exhibition will be supported by a programme of conversations, workshops and performances, exploring how these questions and provocations manifest in our lives and in our work. The programme will include the second iteration of SYFU's Black Film, British Cinema programme of shorts, and a conversation with SYFU Founder and Mentor, artist Barby Asante about her project Baldwin's Nigger: Reloaded.
A Note on Curation
SYFU take pride in working in an artist-led, deeply collaborative way. Collective members Imani Robinson and Rabz Lansiquot will lead on the curation of this exhibition, doing our utmost to ensure that the works are able to stand alone, and that they are also in conversation with each other, creating an exhibition that is greater than the sum of its parts.
Full events programme is available at www.manystudios.co.uk/syfuevents
sorryyoufeeluncomfortable is a collective of thinkers and makers based in London. Formed out of the 2014 project Baldwin's Nigger Reloaded, initiated by artist Barby Asante and curator Teresa Cisneros, SYFU has presented work at ICA, 198 Contemporary Arts and Learning, Wellcome Collection, Tate Exchange, The Showroom and Iniva in London, as well as BALTIC (Newcastle), KVS (Brussels), Nottingham Contemporary (Nottingham) and Framer Framed (Amsterdam).
Rabz Lansiquot is a filmmaker, programmer & DJ. Her work is informed by Black liberatory thought, Black queer studies, and lived experience, seeking to highlight the nuances of marginalised experience, and move beyond representation, to liberation.
Imani Robinson is an organiser, writer and curator. Her work focuses on resistance, liberation and Blackness in the aesthetic, poetic, material, psychological and philosophical realms. Imani works to build radical consciousness through art, popular education and dialogue and is currently completing an MA in Research Architecture at Goldsmiths, UoL.

ON TRANSLATION - learning to become untranslatable, becoming the lacuna (the gap), to be beyond translation
the heft is not 'translatability' as in 'replaceability', but in being unknown, not being replaceable / commensurable with another
to resist translation is to resist being subsumed into the processes and logics of racialisation and capitalist exploitation.
to remain not as the Other in relation to a separate body, but to be internal/opaque, to look inside, to avert the gaze inwards…
we formations:
a manual based directly on the personally transcribed script of an Act of Xala. A method of appropriating methods of 'becoming untranslatable' whilst being a world that demands translatability from me.
this manual will be based a series of instructions for bodily movement that in themselves will resist translation.
goal of the exercise:
how to use the performative which is frequently linked with forms of exposing injustices; we hope to turn the performance into an instrument of concealment by inscribing the methods within the film.
Join us for an 45 min excerpt of Ousmane Sembene's film Xala, followed by a collective performance and a roundtable discussion.

Marshawn Lynch's reinstatement is underway as he seeks to play for the Oakland Raiders. If Marshawn Lynch unretires, he immediately becomes a member of the Seattle Seahawks again, but it appears very clear that he doesn't plan to return to the franchise. This would mean that Seahawks general manager John Schneider has some tough decisions in front of him, as he has to decide what to do with Lynch's contract and whether to force a Raiders trade to take place.
A report by KIRO 7 out of Seattle confirms the reinstatement process is underway and that Lynch is indeed hoping to play for the Raiders. This isn't a surprise in itself, as the worst kept secret of the NFL offseason was that Lynch wasn't quite finished with his NFL career. Many Marshawn Lynch-Raiders rumors have gained traction on social media over the past month, possibly providing the Pro Bowl running back with a chance to play in front of his hometown crowd.
As previously reported by the Inquisitr, there have been New England Patriots rumors suggesting the team would be open to signing Lynch as a free agent as well. The Patriots have already been linked to Adrian Peterson and Jamaal Charles in NFL free agency, but there is also a contract on the table to LaGarrette Blount that he hasn't signed yet. While many fans are still asking how old is Marshawn Lynch, Patriots general manager and head coach Bill Belichick has made a career out of finding overlooked veterans to fill key roles.
So what happens next? For anything to take place between the Seattle Seahawks and Oakland Raiders, the Marshawn Lynch reinstatement process has to be completed first. There typically isn't much that would stop the commissioner's office from putting a player back on the active list, even though NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has had frustrations in dealing with Lynch in the past. Once Lynch is officially reinstated, he will again become a member of the Seattle Seahawks. Would Beast Mode possibly consider a return to CenturyLink Field?
With two years still left on his contract in Seattle, the team could conceivably force him to play out the deal. He already received a signing bonus that the team has to count against the salary cap over the four-year span of his contract. The Seahawks could decide to simply cut him loose or force another franchise to offer draft pick compensation in order to get him. The problem for Schneider is that he has very little leverage to work with, especially given the prior Oakland Raiders rumors stating that the two sides have not entered negotiations.
There is going to be a lot of new Marshawn Lynch news as the weekend approaches, including a possible decision from the commissioner's office about his return. This doesn't mean that a deal with a new team would happen right away, as the Seattle Seahawks would have to first release him. At that point, Lynch would go on waivers, giving other teams a chance to claim him and pay the duration of his current contract. That deal is an expensive one, though, especially when it is for a veteran running back. That's why so many people are asking "how old is Marshawn Lynch" on social media.
The answer to Marshawn Lynch's age is that he turns 31 a bit later in April. That would make him "old" for a running back, which typically means a big pay cut when it comes to contract offers. It is unclear how much money he could command in free agency, but that number is hurt due to Adrian Peterson, Jamaal Charles, and LeGarrette Blount all still being available. Should one or two of them sign before the Oakland Raiders can react, then Lynch's contract might just go up in value over the next week.
While there is no explicit news about the NFL acting on this latest bit of news, the whole process shouldn't take that long if Lynch is intent on playing again. Following that bit of NFL news, the ball will then be with Seahawks general manager John Schneider, as he has to wade through the tough choice of cutting a player under contract or suffering some bad publicity. Marshawn Lynch's reinstatement would allow these Seattle Seahawks rumors to run their course, likely with the Oakland Raiders having a new running back to replace Latavius Murray.

Purpose: :
In a previous report, we showed that intravitreal injections of bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) 24 h before ischemia induce a significant protection against ischemia/reperfusion damage. The aim of the present work was to analyze the effect of LPS on light-induced damage.
Methods: :
Male Wistar rats were intravitreously injected with 3 µg LPS in one eye and vehicle in the contralateral eye. One day after injections, rats were placed for 24 h in an open white acrylic box of 60 cm x 60 cm x 60 cm with 12 halogen lamps (12 V 50 W each) located on top. White light spectrum was used, and lighting level was 12,000 lux. The lighting box was kept in an air-conditioned room, and temperature was monitored and maintained at 24°C. All the animals received food and water ad libitum. Subsequently, 7 or 14 days after light exposure, rats were subjected to electroretinography and histological analysis
Results: :
Constant light for 24 h induced a significant decrease in scotopic ERG a- and b-wave amplitude. The light-induced decrease in both a- and b-wave amplitude was significantly lower in eyes treated with 3µg LPS both at 7 and 14 days after light exposure. Moreover, significant alterations in the outer nuclear and the outer plexiform layers and the pigment epithelium were observed in eyes exposed to constant light. The injection of LPS reduced light-induced photoreceptor degeneration and protected the outer plexiform layer and the pigment epithelium.
Conclusions: :
For the first time, these results indicate that LPS provides functional and histological protection against the deleterious effects of constant light.

Drew Students: Thank You, Benefactors
Annual luncheon pairs students with donors.
March 2017 – For some Drew University students, the generosity of a benefactor enables them to study abroad. For others, it means being able to sign up for an interesting course, accept a faraway internship, advance a research project or simply pay tuition.
At an annual celebration of benefactors, such students met the people whose gifts propelled their education. More than 100 attended the event, which featured remarks from President MaryAnn Baenninger, Theological School Dean Javier Viera and senior Marley Crank, a Baldwin Honors and Civic Scholar majoring in international relations and Spanish.
Crank, who has had three internships and three study abroad experiences as an undergraduate, credited benefactors for paving the way. "The support has allowed me to have the full college experience I yearned for," she said. Here's a closer look at the event.

Not Leather Weather12:11 AM
I ditched the comforts of my sneakers and cotton trousers to give way to my inner Joan Jett persona. I used to own a huge vintage leather jacket/boots/pants collection, all in different colors and in perfect condition. How i transitioned into wearing more comfy and light clothes, i can no longer remember. I guess when i sold them online i never got to restock that side of my wardrobe. Here I am now, re-visiting an old friend and I think I still got it. Maybe.
As a kid, i used to believe that in one of my past lives, I was a female rockstar. The era where it was still shocking for girls to wear all black and be bold. I still strongly believe so. I'm a very, very old and experienced soul.
Choker from my shop: @shop.diybyeva for only 120.00 <3
The cold beverage helps, i shit you not. :p
What i wore: Fake Friends top; vintage leather pants; Zara boots; Forever 21 hat; choker by me
With the pretty intense summer weather, its ridiculous to even go out wearing pants, how much more all black, leather clothes? I guess I have no valid reason for wearing such other than 'because i can.'
That's it!!! I'm almost done posting my draft posts until I can finally put up real time photos haha.
Til next time guys! Drop a comment down below. xx

beyond high standards: supporting the common core to improve student learning
A White Paper by Kathleen Porter Magee for the Stand for Children Leadership Center
Standards have been at the center of the education reform movement in America for almost three decades. Beginning in the early 1980s, state leaders began to take seriously the task of defining what students should know and be able to do in all schools, in order to help ensure that all students were held to equally rigorous standards. In so doing, they created the academic standards that would become the foundation upon which state accountability and assessments, teacher and principal evaluations, and classroom-level curriculum and instruction would be built.
Since then, every state has articulated content standards for at least four core content areas—English language arts, math, science, and social studies—and often more. These standards list the knowledge that states expect students to learn and the skills they expect students to master at each grade level. These standards are—or should be—the targets to which state assessments are aligned; the basis upon which curricula, textbooks, and instruction are created; and the targets to which students, teachers, and leaders are held accountable.
However, the fact that this work was done in every state does not mean it was done well. Analyses of the quality of state standards have found few that are clear, comprehensive, and grade-appropriate. Far too many state standards are vague, fail to prioritize essential content and skills, or include serious content gaps and omissions, making it unlikely that students across a state are held accountable for learning the same material. In fact, reports released over the past decade by both the American Federation of Teachers and the Thomas B. Fordham Institute show that state standards range from the clear, comprehensive, and rigorous, to the poorly organized, vague, and weak, with the overall average for the nation ending up, perhaps unsurprisingly, somewhere in the middle.
The rest of this paper is available as a PDF download:
Kathleen Porter-Magee is the Senior Director of the High Quality Standards Program at the Thomas B. Fordham Institute and a Bernard Lee Schwartz Policy Fellow, where she leads the Institute's work on state, national, and international standards evaluation and analysis.

A California doctor was arrested Tuesday on a warrant accusing him of possessing about 1,000 images of child pornography on a computer he used at work.
Dr. Pete Thomas, of Coastline Podiatry in Santa Ana, Orange County, turned himself in to a judge when an arrest warrant was issued for him, Santa Ana police Cpl. Anthony Bertagna said.
The judge sent Thomas to police, where he surrendered himself and was booked on one count of felony possession of child pornography, Bertagna said. He was out on $50,000 bail Tuesday night.
Read more from NBCLosAngeles.com
Thomas, 58, of Long Beach, came under suspicion when a computer technician spotted the questionable material on his computer while installing new printing software on the office's system, Bertagna said.
Some images allegedly depict children from 7 years old to their early teens engaging in sex acts with other minors or adults, Bertagna said.
Police don't believe Thomas had any contact with the children in the photos.

- Classics booking agent, Todd Jones, in front of the locked-down club.
Now that Classics has closed, in the words of former business manager Sean Becker, it leaves the city's wanting nightclub scene even more wanting.
On July 13, property owner Carolyn Jenkins evicted the business that had bumbled along financially for the past year, missing several months' worth of rent payments.
The all-ages hardcore club at 5943 Delmonico Drive was widely considered one of the top three live music venues in Colorado Springs. Without it, the area's screamo, death metal and hardcore bands, and their hundreds of fans, must rebound in a city with few other options.
"The music scene is on pause," says Todd Jones, who, with his girlfriend Heather Williams, booked bands at Classics for the past year.
Jones, whose local production company is called Stick It To Ya Entertainment, says the bar shut down with little warning, leaving him with 2 months of scheduled concerts to move to area venues like The Black Sheep and Union Station. He has had to cancel 15 shows since the Sheriff's Office locked Classics' doors with his music equipment inside.
This Thursday, business owner Lester Becker and his son Sean Becker, will meet with property manager Nor'Wood Development to negotiate a removal of Jones' and others' belongings from the interior of Classics. Jenkins' agent at Nor'Wood declined to comment for this story.
Jones credits his business for attracting sizable crowds to Classics in the last few months that it was open. On a good night, the bar would bring in 250 people to see a five-band set, charging $10 at the door. Often, newer bands would get their start there; Jones invited unsigned acts to play without sending in a demo CD.
"We were rocking this town hard," Jones says. "We were the metal bar in town."
But Sean Becker says it simply was not enough to keep Classics afloat. The financial troubles began last June, when the business first missed a rent payment of $4,100. Becker says that layoffs at Rockrimmon Boulevard's Hewlett-Packard plant last summer killed off his happy-hour crowd. The COSMIX closure of the southbound I-25 exit to Rockrimmon, he adds, made the strip mall where the nightclub was nearly inaccessible.
"It was a dead center," he says.
When the Beckers bought Classics in March 2003, they agreed to a rigid lease that increased their rent by a couple hundred dollars every six months. When the Beckers took over, they paid $3,700 per month. By the time Classics closed, their rent had gone up $600, to $4,300 per month. Because the Beckers initially envisioned a booming nightclub, paying the escalating rent seemed feasible.
But they soon realized that Classics was sinking. They worked to sell the business last spring, but the plan never came to fruition. Becker began pulling in investors, but Classics was evicted just days before he could ensure their support, he says.
Lester Becker owes more than $136,000 to Jenkins in missed rent payments, late fees, and rental costs for the remainder of the lease, which will expire in 2008. He took out a mortgage on his home and may file for bankruptcy.
"I have to take the blame," he says.

An English In Kentucky
Monday October 22nd 2012
Tim Candler
A Tweet permits no more than one hundred and forty
characters. And here, included in the definition of "character" is
a tap on the space bar or any of those keys that are not letters.
On the one side it probably prevents rambling, it offers a chance to
concentrate thought, and I guess it's a minimalism, which has also been called ABC Art,
sound bite, bumper sticker and that range of carelessness that passes
for insight in minds dominated by terror of nuance, or fear of
answerless-ness, or nervousness around learning and therefore powered
almost completely by tribal allegiance. And in terms
of my own judgment of Twitter, better perhaps to simply say, I am glad
neither of the Wittgenstein's or Russell are alive to see what jolly
good fun it is.
All the same, in my own explorations of idea
through language, I have recently been much influenced by what a wise man
once called "the four page sentence." And here, included in so lengthy
a definition of long-windedness, is the wide range of facial and eye
movements offered by the word 'yawn' when the word 'yawn' is not used to
strictly mean an aspect of involuntary pandiculation. Of course,
"long-windedness," is also what both the Wittgenstein's and Russell were
trying to reduce in their attempt to define language as containing a greater
usefulness. And interestingly enough, Noam Chomsky averages a couple
of Tweets a day. But in the end language is a perception. Like
hearing, eyesight and touch. Which naturally is a point of view many
find too disabling to agree with.

Ann and I did not always have it
so nice as you kids see us having it now.
In college, we were so poor that we lived
in only a single basement apartment, rather than
in several large homes,
and I even had to sell my stocks so that we could
pay our bills.
We were so poor that we were forced
to eat regular tuna, from a can,
and also pasta that was not the right height of pasta.

Currently there are two types of 3D TVs available on the market:
- Active
- Passive
Active 3D TVs work by alternately displaying a frame for the left eye and right eye in sync with the 3D glasses. The active 3D glasses ensure that each eye only sees the picture it is meant to see by simultaneously blacking out one eye then the other. This is all done at a rate of at least 120 times per second so that the person wearing the glasses in unaware that this is happening.
Active shutter glasses are typically powered by a battery and are generally are a little heavier than the passive glasses.
Sony, Samsung, Panasonic and LG manufacture active 3D TVs.
Passive 3DTV
Passive 3D TVs work by simultaneously displaying the frame for both eyes at the same time. The passive glasses are able to discern between the two frames and ensure each eye sees the picture it is supposed to see. Passive glasses are the same type of glasses that are used at most movie theatres in North America. In fact, you can use the glasses you get at the movie theatre with passive 3D TVs.
One of the disadvantages of passive 3D TVs is that since the TV must display both images at the same time, the resolution of the picture is halved. Therefore passive 3D TVs are unable to display full HD 3D picture quality.
Currently LG and Vizio are the only companies that manufacture passive 3D TVs. Passive 3D TVs just started hitting the market in Q4 2010.

From those appropriations there has been apportioned to North Carolina a total of 16,270,690.68. There will be no more funds apportionad to North Carolina unless Congress should make additional appropria-tions for that purpose. There are a number of bills pending providing for additional appropriations, but as yet none of these has passed. The secretary of agriculture, in his last annual report, recommended that ad-ditional appropriations be made to continue the policy of federal aid already inaugurated.
