A list of the most memorable/terrifying monsters in the horror movie history:
- Crawlers from the movie "The Descent (2006)": Nothing says claustrophobia than being stuck in a small cave with no lights and monsters all around you. These creatures live underground completely adapted to the dark and driven by instinct which doesn't sit well with these group of friends as they are trapped during a cave expedition. The crawlers add to the tension as they hide in the darkness ready to make their move.
- Alien queen from the movie "Aliens (1986)": This is one mom you do not want to mess with as she is 100 feet tall, has acid blood, and an army of alien monsters ready to kill anything that moves. When watching the movie "Aliens" you see Ripley and the gang try to escape the colony based on the planet from the first movie as it is infested with aliens or Xenomorphs. The whole time it makes you think where all these aliens came from that question is answered at the climax as the Alien queen makes her appearance. This creature demonstrates the darkside of motherhood as the mother will do whatever it takes to protect her children.
- The Thing from the movie "The Thing (1982)": Known simply as the Thing, this alien shape shifter serves as the antagonist to R.J. MacReady and his crew throughout the movie. With the ability to copy any living being it comes in contact with it gives a whole the new meaning to the word paranoid as each crew member is left questioning who's who. It also puts time at risk as the crew must find and destroy the creature quickly before the creature can escape affect the rest of the world.
- The Babadook from the movie "The Babadook (2014)": A recent addition to the list we have the Babadook. Although it has a funny name this monster is one you should not underestimate. It uses a children's book to make it's appearance and will never leave once it does. It hides in the darkness and makes you question your own reality as it did for Amelia and her son. It will haunt you for the rest of your life as the movie quotes, "If it's in a word, if it's in a book you can't get rid of the Babadook."
- Brundle Fly from the movie "The Fly (1986)": The horrors of science come alive as the Brundle fly takes the top of the list. Seth Brundle was a brilliant inventor who created teleport pods to revolutionize travel. An accident happens when a fly lands in one of the pods with Brundle and its DNA fuses with him. This creates a hybrid monstrosity as you witness Brundle's hideous transformation from man to fly as well as his mental breakdown as he try to find a cure. From the horrifying appearance to the tragedy that follows you'll never look at flies the same way again.

Author Bio▼▲
The narrative is written very much like extended rhyming song lyrics, telling of a little girl having continuous fun with her daddy. She steps on his feet and lets him dance and twirl her. Together they play tea party, tag, and board games. All too soon the little girl becomes a middle schooler, and Dad has to serve the refreshments during sleepovers and pajama parties. Nevertheless, he finds time to help her with homework, and they still find time to dance, even if just in private. Ultimately, the girl grows up, falls in love, and gets married, and at the wedding, Dad gets one final time to hear his daughter say, "Dance me, Daddy."
Although this book does not quote Scripture, it underscores biblical tenets of family nurturing, parental love, and training up a child in the way she should go. It's a cute, heart-tugging story that adults will relate to even more than the 4- to 7-year-olds at which the book is targeted. The illustrations by Philomena O'Neill are not in glaring colors, but are more subdued in a way that makes one think of looking at a family album. The whole book is quite effective and enjoyable.

I.D. magazine's December issue is out, trumpeting the year's most intriguing products with the extensive "New + Notable 2006." The list lives up to its billing, delivering an impressive showcase of the best design from the past year, and there's a fair sprinkling of TreeHugger throughout the twelve categories. Ranging from the decorative: "Greener Than Grass," the latest rug from German textile designer Mary-Ann Williams; to the functional: Ecopod, the compactor and sorter that can make recycling fun (in the middle, above); to the futuristic: Leaf, the LED lamp designed by Yves Béhar for Herman Miller that we were impressed enough with to cover not once but twice (it's on the right). There's some other stuff we've covered (the Mix LED lamp, Molo's Paper Softseating and Valcucine's new kitchen design) plus some stuff we should have (like Kenmore's latest Elite series washer & dryer, with iPod-generation looks and energy efficiency nearly 50% higher than Energy Star standards and DDCLab's eco-friendly collection of apparel and accessories called [and made from] Cork). Thumb through pages 43 - 115 for plenty more example of the way that great design can change the world, and check out the shout out to our friends at Good magazine on page 119 -- it's all in ::I.D.

In the Nation's Interest
Medicare's Fix Is a Long Wait
By now just about everyone understands that the root cause of the federal government's budget problem is health care, driven mostly by the $555 billion a year Medicare program.
While popular opinion fixates on Social Security as the big "entitlement" problem, health care is by far the bigger cost driver. Between now and 2085, Social Security spending is likely to increase from 4.8 percent of the gross domestic product to 6.4 percent, according to the Congressional Budget Office. That's an increase of 1.6 percentage point in 74 years.
Net health-care spending, meanwhile, is expected to increase from 5.1 percent of GDP to 17.2 percent in 2085, or more than a three-fold leap. CBO says the program will cost taxpayers $903 billion by 2020.
The enormous projected growth in health-care spending has led many elected lawmakers to the obvious conclusion: Forget about everything else, just focus on health care. Such a policy recommendation is airtight, except for one problem: It's wrong.
Here are three reasons why a singular focus on health-care costs will lead to trouble, and why we have to turn elsewhere for immediate answers to our debt problem.
No Consensus
First, we have not yet settled on a likely solution for runaway health-care spending. Far from it. Just about every policy maker has a personal preference, so we are nowhere near a consensus.
Every popular option has flaws. The political left wants a single-payer system -- which sounds good, until you consider that Medicare is a single-payer system, and Medicare is the primary source of the problem.
The political right wants high insurance deductibles, medical savings accounts and consumer choice -- which make sense, until you realize that the big money is in serious illnesses that blow past any conceivable deductible, and those patients are often in no condition to direct care decisions, even ignoring that they don't have medical degrees. Left and right won't find common ground here for years to come, if ever. We can't wait that long.
Measuring Success
Second, even if we thought we had the solution, we wouldn't be able to measure its effects with any accuracy. We can't even measure the apparently straightforward result of cutting Medicare reimbursements because doctors have responded to past reductions in the reimbursement for each diagnosis by making more diagnoses, or making more expensive diagnoses instead of cheaper ones. So imagine what the health- care industry might do if confronted with far more complex changes in the system. The one sure thing is that the estimates would be wrong.
Third, even if we had the solution and we acted today, the savings would arrive many years down the road -- far too late, given the state of the budget and the public debt. The health-care industry is a supertanker, not a powerboat. It will take miles to turn around. Health-care thinkers who have talked about "bending the cost curve" argue that we have built too many hospital beds, bought too much high-tech hardware, such as MRI machines, and trained too many specialists.
Unfortunately, all of those -- even the labor of the specialists -- are fixed costs. We made those investments, and we have to pay them off. Even if we changed our distorted incentives at noon today, the gears of our health-care industrial complex would change us into the lean, compassionate health-care machine that we need only over years, perhaps decades.
Time Running Out
Back in December 2007, CBO estimated that the U.S. public debt would reach 60 percent of the gross domestic product in 2022. That's many economists' notion of a prudent maximum for a nation's debt burden; it's also the proforma limit for members of the European Monetary Union.
Because of the economic paroxysm and the tax cuts and the spending needed to attenuate it, the debt at the end of 2010 already was 62.8 percent, and it continues to grow. So with the debt already in the red zone, we no longer have the luxury of debating our health-care options over port in front of the fire, and then waiting for the analysts to tell us in a decade or so whether our choices have panned out.
We can't possibly bend the health-care cost curve until well after the debt curve must be bent sharply.
So while revamping the health-care system remains necessary in the long run, it's not sufficient in the short run. We need substantial budget savings now to ensure that we even get to the long run.
And that will require putting every part of the budget on the table. Domestic appropriations were cut in the August debtlimit agreement, and many will argue that defense has given enough. We must hit spending as hard as we can again.
And then we will need new revenues, too.
Health care is indeed the big fiscal problem, but we have allowed the problem to grow so large that it can no longer provide the solution we need today.

We are all familiar with the two styles of writing: Outlining and discovery writing. Outlining is really any organized manner of plotting and writing a story. Discovery, on the other hand, is simply writing at its most visceral and creative. These are polar opposites, as are the writers who promote them.
Writers rarely fall under one or the other category, however. It is less outlining vs. discovery and more outlining-discovery. A sort of continuum, as Brandon Sanderson puts it. Each writer fits somewhere up and down that scale. Some part outlining, some part discovery. It is the rare writer who is a purist. Most of us are hybrids.
Oddly though, the ways of mixing discovery and outlining are not discussed very often. So, how does a writer blend these polar opposites? How does a writer dynamically switch from one mode to the other?
A purist outliner will quite nearly detail every last nod and sigh. With footnotes. But we're going to take a step back from that. Create a scene-by-scene breakdown. Answer things like: Where is the scene? Who is in the scene? What are the scene's aimpoints or goals, if any? Purists would go much, much farther. But we're going to stop right here. That's it. Write the scene. Keep your aimpoints in mind. Keep your plot and character details in mind. If you've done research, keep those facts in check. Then just write the scene. Let it flow naturally. Visualize it and write it. If you are visualizing faster than you can write, do not pause. If you get hung up on a piece of the scene, push past it. Leave a little note in brackets to remind you of the part left unfinished. Keep going.
Once you reach the end of the scene, check how you did. Did you meet your aimpoints or goals? Did you keep your facts in check? Did the scene "progress" in the right direction? As the saying goes, the joy is in the journey. How you achieve a scene's objectives is more important than the objectives themselves. This journey is the part you can discovery write.
Discovery writers might be feeling a serious buzz kill, right now. But you don't have to do scene-by-scene. Simply create the over-arching aimpoints for the entire story. Where do your characters start? Where do your characters end? What was their journey? Where does it take place? What is the conflict? What is the resolution? How did it affect your characters? Then let loose. You are free to dream. Unleash all your creativity upon the story, unrestrained and unbound. Yet, directed. Occasionally, stop and examine your work. Make sure you are on track. See that your story is aimed properly. Don't focus on any particular scene. The general direction of the story is what's important.
It is all about visualizing the story. If you need more structure to visualize, do more outlining, research and character detailing. If these get in your way, junk them. Some of us need preparation and guidance. Some of us only need a blank page and a dream.
Let's talk about dreams next time in: Dreaming of Elsewhere

FGBMFI Nepal
Full Gospel Business Men's Fellowship International
The true character of a person is seen not in momentary heroics,
but in the mundane, routine day to day living.
- Francis Kong
From the Francis Kong Archive.
The FGBMFI National Chapter of Nepal.
And my God will meet all your needs
according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus.
- Philippians 4:19
FGBMFI members in Nepal believe in the resurrection of the dead, the eternal happiness of the saved, and the eternal punishment of the lost.
While thinking about this a verse of a poem came to mind...
"The eye's a better pupil
and more willing than the ear,
Fine counsel is confusing,
but example's always clear!"
Nepal FGBMFI members believe in sanctification by the blood of Christ, in personal holiness of heart and life, and in separation from the world.
If you would like to know what else FGBMFI men in Nepal believe, you can Read Our Full Gospel Business Men's Fellowship International Doctrinal Statement!
Another verse of the same poem says...
"I soon can learn to do it
if you'll let me see it done;
I can watch your hands in action,
but your tongue too fast may run."
Lord, let us be "FGBMFI Sermons We See in Nepal!"
Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart,
as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know
that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward.
It is the Lord Christ you are serving.
- Colossians 3:23-24

Oil on stretched canvas - 24x30" (approx. 61 x 76 cm)
This is the final version of the painting done from Vivek Reddy Pottu's photograph. Considerng the number of people that live in India, I would guess that it's very rare to find a stretch of beach that has this few people on it at one time.
I took some freedoms with the sky, particularly the clouds down on the horizon to make it a little more interesting. I'm really liking the movement in the water. And for me this beach just cried out to have something scratched in the sand, so I broke my tradition of always signing in the lower right and "carved it into the sand" at left.

RANCHO CUCAMONGA – What are your chances of saving your home? How do you repair your credit? Do you qualify for a loan modification?
Those are some of the questions the Inland Empire Economic Recovery Corp. plans to answer next Saturday at its Home Foreclosure Prevention Seminar at Central Park.
The event – hosted by the nonprofit housing corporation along with San Bernardino Associated Governments and the city of Rancho Cucamonga – is free and geared for anyone who is going through the foreclosure process or who thinks they might soon go through the foreclosure process.
Interested residents should pre-register online and bring their loan papers on the day of the seminar, said Robert Hooker, executive director of the IEERC.
"The more data they can provide, the faster the process is," Hooker said.
Counselors approved by the U.S. Housing and Urban Department and representatives from banks including Freddie Mac, Chase, HSBC and Bank of America will be there to guide residents through a loan modification process.
"We provide a tremendous amount of education," Hooker said.
The seminars, which help homeowners navigate an often confusing and complicated loan modification process, are perennial events for the IEERC.
Last year, there were eight similar workshops; at least five are planned this year.
About 300 people are expected to attend the Central Park event.
Hooker said the region is still in the thick of the foreclosure crisis. He said the Inland Empire is expected to see 100,000 foreclosures in the next two years.
What: Home Foreclosure Prevention Seminar
When: 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Feb. 20
Where: Rancho Cucamonga Central Park, 11200 Base Line Road
Information: 909-723-8336
Pre-register by visiting www.ieerc.org

She caught his eyes across the room,
Like the blink of a diamond;
With a subtle smile and glass of wine,
She lured him out into the gardens.
In her mind were romantic scenes,
Storybook courtships not unlike Shakespeare's,
She stood at the verandah
And there he was, immaculate.
Her mane of curls teased in the night winds,
Her graceful limbs moved like a dance;
"Are you after my heart?" She smiled.
His finger on her lips, "No, just your skirt."

We made our way west from Katherine stopping to spend the night at Timber Creek, a tiny town (population 556) on the doorstep of Gregory National Park. As we drove along the scenery began to change and boab trees seemed to spring up everywhere. They're an odd looking tree, especially at this time of year, with their bare branches making it look as though the tree is growing upside down with it's roots in the air. Having written that, I realize that we haven't taken a decent photo of one to share with you, and will try to remember to do so.
Other than using it as a base to visit the National Park, there's not a lot going on at Timber Creek. So, when we were told that there was a freshwater crocodile feeding at 5pm at the bridge near where we were camped we headed over. To be honest, we've pretty much had our fill of crocodiles by now, and are both looking forward to being able to put our folding boat in the water and doing some fishing without the fear of becoming lunch ourselves.
Still, it was a nice diversion, and interesting to see the difference in behaviour and stealthiness between the salties and freshwater crocs.
The following morning we headed toward the Western Australia border. We got an early start, aided by the fact that once we reached the border the clocks are turned back another hour and a half for a total of two hours earlier than Melbourne.
The prohibited items are fresh fruits and vegetables, seeds, soil, nuts with shells, bee products, etc. We were expecting the quarantine so had used up any prohibited items before reaching the border. Others could be seen pulled over eating the last of their fruit before the inspection point.
We had been through the WA border via the Nullarbor during our last trip to Western Australia a few years ago, but they were far more thorough here. I've been through international customs areas that were less strict!
Our inspector was all business, but friendly. In addition to being asked if we had any prohibited items, our car and camper were searched. Luckily our camper fridge can be accessed without completely unfolding it and the inspector climbed in and looked through the fridge and kitchen drawers. The pantry can only be accessed once the canvas is opened, but as we weren't asked, it remained closed and wasn't inspected. As I said, we didn't have any prohibited items anyway.

What will you be doing for Christmas lunch / dinner this year? Since we have a Summer Christmas here in South Africa, we like having this kind of meal here :
Cold meats, cold salads and finger snacks. Some years, we enjoy this around a pool, or outdoors and we just bask in the sunlight. For desert, we have trifle.
This is the perfect Christmas meal for our climate and our overall laid back style in sunny SA. I also believe it's a more modern approach to Christmas. Everyone brings a salad or a plate of cold meats and everyone eats together, rather than a single person making the roast and veggies, running up and down all day long.
Speaking of a roast and veggies, this is the more traditional approach to a Christmas meal, isn't it? We don't really do turkey here in South Africa, we rather go with chicken or lamb or pork. Or all three. We don't mind! :)
A traditional meal is awesome as well and I can imagine that my Northern friends prefer this type of dinner in your colder climates. And who doesn't love a good old Christmas pudding?
So, enlighten me; what are you planning in terms of food for the holidays? Is it outdated to have a traditional style meal? Are you health conscious and would you rather have something less fattening or vegetarian or vegan? Or do you still throw in the bird and eat it?
Stay beautiful and be kind to animals,

So You Wanna Watch The Total Eclipse: A Local Guy's Guide To Getting Ready
Turn around bright eyes, every now and then we have a total eclipse of the sun. Well, sort of. Everyone from NASA to Boston Public Radio is talking about this. The last total solar eclipse in this part of the world happened in 1979. So here's everything you need to know about viewing this incredibly rare event happening on August 21st:
1. The actual full eclipse will only be seen in a narrow band running diagonally from Oregon to Charleston, SC., also known as the path of totality. Unfortunately we here in the northeast corridor will only be getting a partial eclipse. For us only about 70% to 60% of the sun will be blocked by the moon. But that doesn't make it's okay to stare at the eclipse! We all know it's dangerous to look directly at the sun, the eclipse doesn't change that. This is because the sun's ultraviolet rays are still raining down during the event. Which is why you need to do one of two things: get some *certified* eclipse glasses or fashion a pinhole viewer, keep reading and I'll explain how.
2. NASA is all over this eclipse and has a vast amount of resources on their website https://eclipse2017.nasa.gov. Trust me, you can spend hours learning about it there. So why don't we have an eclipse every time the moon rotates around Earth? Because space doesn't have OCD, the moon's orbit isn't perfect. It takes a wobbly path around our planet, which means we only get an eclipse when it is dead center between us and the sun. Having a solar eclipse isn't unique to Earth either, a lot of planets experience them including Mars. So go ahead and put seeing that on your bucket list, I'm sure Elon Musk already has.
3. Eclipse viewing glasses aren't just a fashion choice, but you do need to make the right choice! The Chicago Tribune reported that some companies are selling glasses that say they are certified safe, but are really just fakes. Why? Basically the only reason anyone does anything sketchy, profit. Here's the deal - a lot has changed since 1979. As a society we are much more aware and interested in our world and the things, literally, revolving around it. So the demand for eclipse viewing glasses has been very high this year. It's not that eclipses in general are rare, but a total one that is exclusive to the America is. Thus some companies are putting out fake spectacles and at times even producing fake safety reports for them. And that's dangerous because looking at the event without proper glasses could lead to vision problems. This is why we can't have nice things!
4. According to The Tribune, there is a list of verified brands selling the glasses: American Paper Optics (Eclipser), APM Telescopes (Sunfilter Glasses), Baader Planetarium (AstroSolar Silver/Gold Film), Celestron (EclipSmart Glasses & Viewers), DayStar (Solar Glasses), Explore Scientific (Solar Eclipse Sun Catcher Glasses), Lunt Solar Systems (SUNsafe SUNglasses), Meade Instruments (EclipseView Glasses & Viewers), Rainbow Symphony (Eclipse Shades), Seymour Solar (Helios Glasses), Thousand Oaks Optical (Silver-Black Polymer & SolarLite), and TSE 17 (Solar Filter Foil).
5. But if you still can't get yourself a pair of those, try making a pinhole viewer. They're easy and can be made out of things you have around the house. Take a rectangular box, like a cereal box, and place white cardstock at the bottom. In the top cut two holes, cover one with foil. Poke a small pinhole in the foil. When viewing the eclipse keep the event behind you so that the light will stream through the pinhole and onto the white paper inside while you look through the other hole.
Happy Eclipsing

Hubbard's Marina Johns Pass Fishing report
Inshore- Kandra Jolley, from Green Bay, and her friends were fishing under the Johns Passbridge at night the past week and they reported that the snook are aggressive and plentiful. We have included a photo of her large 38 inch snook in our report. They caught the big boy on cut bait on the bottom, but the slot-sized snook are feeding on live white bait and the live pinfish or grunts. We recommend 60lb fluorocarbon with a 3ot hook for these aggressive fish that live in or around the sharp structure. We are also getting plenty of snook around the docks during the day. Their favorite feeding times seem to be the tail end of the outgoing tides right now. Mackerel have started to make an appearance inside the pass again, and many jetty anglers are getting them on small live white bait or by using the Gotcha plugs we sell in our shop. Our favorite size is the 7/8ths ounce with the silver back. The sharks are still around but are thinning out it seems, if you want to land a toothy critter it's best to target them before the water cools off too much.
Near shore- Mackerel are back on the near shore artificial reefs, and we expect the kingfish to follow shortly after. The sailfish seem to be plentiful and aggressive right now we're seeing them often in the 12-16 mile range. On one recent half day we saw 3 different sailfish working around the boat! The grey snapper have been consistent, but the coming cold fronts will have em' chewing right up until the front passes by. Then once the front passes it takes 2-3 days for the waters to calm and clear up before the fish pick back up. The time it takes for the bite to recover depends on the strength of the cold front. The grouper bite seems to be firing up at the 90 foot range. We limited out on our last two ten hour trips aboard our private charter boat.
Offshore- The grouper bite has been great offshore, but unfortunately the red grouper shut down September 16th in federal waters. The snapper are still biting well but as the gulf cools they will get a bit tougher in the deeper water. All summer long the snapper spawn making them aggressive and plentiful of our coast. The jacks and red snapper are a nuisance now offshore since we can't seem to get away from these 'endangered' fish. The best idea is to avoid the artificial wrecks. The cooler water will bring the blackfin tuna back in force to the gulf waters. Also, this makes the gag grouper more aggressive and plentiful closer to shore.
we want to clear up some confusion we have been hearing lately: THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO RED TIDE in our local area or in our fishing areas at all. There hasn't been any in between the beaches and our fishing areas either! We have yet to see a single dead fish and we have yet to have a single verified sighting of red tide locally! There is red tide well to the north of us in the gulf, but it has NOT affected us at all. There is also red tide well to the south of us, but again it has NOT affected us at all! Anyone saying otherwise is just simply fabricating a news story, IT'S NOT TRUE!

Last spring, the Japanese market was burned by fraudulent accounting scandals at firms such as Livedoor and the Murakami Fund, so it isn't surprising that regulators have been inspired to enact new compliance and governance regulations. The Japanese have begun implementing a version modeled after Sarbanes-Oxley. But we don't know whether it will be as onerous as the U.S. version.
Putting your Sox on
The formal title for this Japanese version of corporate governance is known as the Financial Instruments and Exchange Law, but it has been given the nickname J-SOX. It is intended to hold the country's executives accountable while it protects investors through greater transparency. And while it doesn't officially take effect until April of next year, companies are already implementing it. Many IT and accounting companies are already benefiting from the additional revenue as they begin offering services to help with the transition to the new environment.
The Japanese offices of accounting firms such as Ernst & Young, Deloitte, and KPMG are consulting with clients to get them prepared for implementation, while -- according to Forrester Research
That could help smaller consulting firms such as Motley Fool Stock Advisor recommendation Resources Global
Yet Resources Global and other consultants shouldn't necessarily count on J-SOX being the watershed event that Sarbanes-Oxley was. There are some significant differences between the two laws, and while there are some large questions looming about what it all means, it doesn't look as though Japanese companies will be as burdened as their American counterparts were.
We only want to help
J-SOX has four goals for the 3,800 publicly traded Japanese companies: effective and efficient operations, reliable treasury documents, compliance with laws and regulations, and maintaining and safekeeping assets.
Sounds familiar, but implementing them should be different. Whereas U.S. regulations require companies to now disclose any "material" error in reporting, under J-SOX, companies have to report only errors that result in a greater than 5% change in group pre-tax income. Japanese auditors will also be allowed to use company-provided documentation, and while the concept of auditor independence is similar to what it is here, many companies are permitted to and apparently do rely on the influence of their auditors. Moreover, auditors won't have to report back to any government agency on results.
Much of what is being implemented is considered guidelines, with corporate management left to interpret what will be covered. Certainly, such flexibility can have its uses, but one wonders what Bernie Ebbers, Kenneth Lay, or Jeffrey Skilling would have done with such flexibility.
One area, though, where J-SOX is similar to Sarbanes-Oxley is in creating demand for qualified accountants. There is a dearth of accountants in Japan -- only 17,000, according to some estimates -- and there are just 1,300 certified internal auditors. This could pose a challenge to companies, because Japan lacks the CPAs needed to support all of these companies.
It won't be so easy to just hire international auditors with the requisite skills. Most Japan-based companies work in Japanese, so obviously that will be one criterion, but also the corporate culture is not exactly the same. As is the case in many European countries, shareholder interests are secondary to other concerns, including customer satisfaction and employee well-being.
The major instances of fraud and criminal actions that have been uncovered at some Japanese companies should make Japan more willing to adopt western-style corporate governance and oversight. That's not such an issue at foreign-owned companies in Japan, called gaishikei. And companies such as Sony
A clean start
We'll soon have a host of countries with new governance and compliance regulations. Following J-SOX should come K-SOX in South Korea, and there's already C-SOX, Canada's version of Sarbanes-Oxley that went into effect shortly after the U.S. version was enacted.
As capital markets become globalized, investors will look where there is a level playing field. The laws taking effect will reflect the realities and idiosyncrasies of where they are to be enforced, and though Congress debates changes to some of the more onerous aspects of SOX here at home, investors everywhere ought to benefit from the greater transparency that will result.

Norske Skogindustrier ASA, the world's second-largest newsprint maker, will spend A$160 million ($110 million) to revamp mills in Australia and New Zealand.
The company will shut one paper mill at its Tasman plant in New Zealand while refurbish two others, the Lysaker, Norway- based company said in a statement. It aims to reduce annual costs by A$30 million and boost operating margin before deprecation and amortization by 3 to 4 percentage points.
Norske Skog is the sole producer of newsprint and magazine paper in the region, which consumes 1.2 million metric tons of those products. The project should also reduce transportation costs as the rebuilding of a machine in Albury, located in Australia's New South Wales state, will increase capacity by 50,000 tons that is currently produced in New Zealand.
"This project shows our commitment to our customers and our business in the region as it will further enhance our product quality," said Jan Oksum, 54, chief executive of Norske Skog, in the statement. "Furthermore , it will significantly reduce the cost level in the region."
Norske Skog also will book a charge of 230 million kroner ($33 million) this quarter from the closure of the mill and related to unspecific job cuts.
The shares rose 0.75 krone to 115.75 kroner on Friday. They have lost 8.9 percent this year, valuing Norske Skog at 15.4 billion kroner.

Liquid Crystals
Cambridge University Press, Nov 26, 1992 - Science - 460 pages
This is a new and greatly revised edition of Professor Chandrasekhar's classic book Liquid Crystals, first published in 1977. The subject of liquid crystals has grown into an exciting interdisciplinary research field with important practical applications. This book presents a systematic and self-contained treatment of the physics of the different types of thermotropic liquid crystals - the three classical types, nematic, cholesteric and smectic, and the newly discovered discotic type. Included is a description of the structures of these four main types and their polymorphic modifications, their thermodynamical, optical and mechanical properties and their behaviour under external fields. The basic principles underlying the major applications of liquid crystals in display technology and in thermography are also discussed. This book will be of great value to advanced students and researchers in condensed matter physics, chemical physics, materials science and technology with an interest in the physics, chemistry and applications of liquid crystals.

One huge blessing of deputation has been to see family and friends that we normally don't see.
We were in Florida, and going to be close to where Sus lives so we couldn't pass without seeing her! We spent a couple of nights at her duplex and it was a blast!
Ben and I hadn't seen Sus since our wedding in 2001. It was great catching up with her.
We also had fun at the beach, visiting her church, and eating out.
In January we ate at an Argentine restaurant on our way back through.

Jury In Jelani Maraj Rape Case Unable To Reach A Verdict After First Day Of Deliberations
As many of you know, Jelani Maraj, brother of superstar rapper Nicki Minaj, is currently on trial on a charge of predatory sexual assault against a child for allegedly raping his stepdaughter back in 2015. By the end of the first day of deliberations yesterday, the Nassau County jury on duty for Maraj's rape case was unable to reach a verdict!
Despite the victim's graphic testimony as well as that of her younger brother and Maraj's semen that was found in the groin area of the young girl's pajamas there seemed to be insufficient evidence for the jury to convict Maraj. Alternate juror John Labau tells Newsday that even though he thinks Maraj is guilty, he would have acquitted Maraj based on a lack of evidence.
Nassau Assistant District Attorney Emma Slane told the jury to believe the victim's story as it was backed by DNA and two heavily weighted testimonies. The defense attorney told jurors that this was all a plot for Maraj's ex wife to extort him for $25 million and that the woman planted the semen on the girl's underwear.
If Maraj is convicted he faces a maximum sentence of life in prison.

DCLM Daily Manna 17th May 2018 Devotional by Pastor Kumuyi
Topic: Let It Drive You To Pray
Bible Text: 2 Chronicles 20:1-30 (KJV)
Key Verse: "And Jehoshaphat feared, and set himself to seek the LORD, and proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah" (2 Chronicles 20:3).
Message: It is common with human to react with fear and panic during moments of crisis. In their panic, they would make so many frantic efforts in search of a new way out. Hardly does prayer become the first reaction of people in times of crisis. Yet, it is in prayer that the solutions can be found.
DCLM Daily Manna 17th May 2018 Devotional by Pastor Kumuyi
This is why the story of King Jehoshaphat is a challenge to all Christians. He was shaken one morning with the horrifying news of a coalition of great host coming against him. This meant that the life of Jehoshaphat and his entire kingdom were in the brink of extinction. That was enough to make him panic. Instead of allowing his fear to drive him into wrong actions, he allowed the situation to drive him to prayer. He summoned all the citizens to fast and pray, thereby expressing his total trust and confidence in God to grant them deliverance. Thankfully, He did! Jehoshaphat and his people did not raise a sword nor shoot an arrow, yet all their enemies were killed. God fought for them.
Those who do not have absolute confidence in God will react differently when they are faced with similar situations. Some will even get angry with God and murmur against Him. But that will only compound the problem instead of solving it. The best thing to do when situations we do not expect confront us is to pray. In praying, we express our absolute trust in God to handle the situation. If we pray about our circumstances, we will certainly get a miraculous deliverance Jehoshaphat.
DCLM Daily Manna 17th May 2018 Devotional by Pastor Kumuyi – Let It Drive You To Pray
Do not only pray; believe God and act on His Word. Jehoshaphat and the people of Judah did just as the prophet had told them and their faith and obedience were rewarded with great victory. Run to God in prayer; it is the safest place to hide in times of trouble and always.
Thought For The Day: When you have a great need, run to our great God in prayer.
Bible Reading in one Year: 2 Samuel 16-18
Read: DCLM Daily Manna 16th May 2018
DCLM Daily Manna 17th May 2018 was written by Pastor W.F. Kumuyi; is the founder and General Superintendent of the Deeper Life Bible Church situated at KM 42 on the busy Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, Nigeria.

Mini Stichery patterns for ETSY
I have created three stitchery patterns to add to my ETSY store.
The crinoline style lady is a simple little stitchery as my own interpretation of this classic embroidery design.
The Kewpie style doll figure, a bit like the old Carnival dolls from fairs and exhibitions, is a full figure stitchery.
I have also created three Kewpie style doll faces, each with different expressions.
The three patterns have been created as a basic stitchery pattern at a basic price that could be used in many different ways and using many colourways. The patterns come with a page of hints on embroidering, and basic instructions to make up as a banner or flag if desired.
Labels: carnival doll, embroidery, etsy, kewpie, stitchery

I-10 East makeover in very early stages, starting with Tuesday meeting
Starting Tuesday, four meetings will give concerned folks a chance to tell transportation officials what's needed along one of the region's heaviest truck corridors, where crashes and time-hogging congestion is worsening.
Texas Department of Transportation officials are hosting the meetings about Interstate 10 east of downtown Houston at a very early stage of planned improvements. The planning and environmental linkages study is the first step in larger corridor-wide plans between Interstate 69 and Texas 99, also known as the Grand Parkway, in Mont Belvieu.
Meetings start Tuesday at Barbers Hill High School. Officials stressed there are no specific plans, and the meetings are intended to give people a chance to offer opinions about what should and can be done along the freeway corridor.
The study will encompass automobile and truck traffic, as well as alternatives to reduce vehicle use or segregate it, such as installation of HOT lanes, truck-only lanes, bus rapid transit, rail, bicycle and pedestrian upgrades.
TRUCK TROUBLES: Uptick in hazmat spills add to freeway woes
Though not as busy as I-10 west of downtown Houston, the segment east of I-69 is consistently crowded during morning and evening commutes, as well as midday. About 100,000 vehicles per day use the freeway east of Loop 610, though the number drops dramatically to around 33,000 near Texas 99. Truck volumes are highest between the Sam Houston Tollway and Texas 330 near Baytown.
MAJOR CONSTRUCTION: Loop 610 at I-69 near Uptown headed for rebuilding
The study is part of an often decade-long process to redesign a freeway. Officials do not expect to complete the linkages study until Summer 2020, then spend years planning and designing projects.
In the meantime, TxDOT has a number of maintenance projects along the route, including replacement of the bridge at Waco, where many crashes occur due to over-height trucks.

This post is going to kill me. Or make me pull out ALL of my hair. I have now almost completely finished twice, and lost it… twice. So here I am, starting over again.
Last week when I posted about my exciting news with training for a 10K, I was keeping another little piece of information from you. We are moving back to North Carolina!
I don't know if I ever mentioned before that we used to live in Raleigh. Well, actually, Garner. We lived there for about three years from 2009 to 2012 before moving to Madison. A new and fantastic job for Ryan in Charlotte will be bringing us back to the Carolinas!
Being a midwest girl who loves her home state, I never thought I would want to move back south. The heat always got to me so I wasn't disappointed when we moved back to the midwest three years ago. Although I am a little bummed that we are leaving right as the best time of year starts here in The Mitten, I am so excited to be starting this new chapter. I am so happy to be taking this step and laying some roots as a family.
This kind of leads me to my next piece of exciting news. I will be running for the real Lt. Dans in the inaugural Run Forrest Run 5/10K at Notre Dame.
My cousin Lori, who has also become an avid runner in the past year, sent me a link this race and asked me if I would like to run it with her as my "farewell run" before I move. I didn't even hesitate to say yes since it is for a very awesome cause! It is a charity 5/10K run that supports the Gary Sinise Foundation's R.I.S.E. program and wounded hero USMC Sgt. Michael Frazier. I think Gary Sinise is a pretty rad dude and he has done some amazing work with the Wounded Warrior Project and with his own foundation.
She gave me the option of either the 5K or the 10K. While I would LOVE to be able to do the 10K for this race, I am just not ready for one. We chose the 5K since I know I can knock that out easily. Ok, probably not easily but I can do it! 😉
She also told me that the attire was red, white, and blue and I knew that wouldn't be too much of a problem. I already have my blue capris and my NY Giants shorts (that are red, white, and blue) if it is warm enough. But that is unlikely. All I needed was a shirt. While I was out this morning it dawned on me that my veteran husband has a bunch of 82nd shirts that would be perfect! Too bad none of them are here with me. I emailed Ryan saying that I wished I had one of his shirts to wear and after some discussion he convinced me to order one. I am pretty pumped about the one I went with.
The smallest size they had was a medium and it has got to be a men's medium so I am sure I will be swimming in it, but I love it. I a little bit wish I had more red in my outfit, like red pants/shorts instead of blue, but I will survive. Can you tell I am just a tad pumped for this?
So while we are talking about Charlotte and races… I am also registered for my first Color Run of the year! I am also pretty excited about the Shine Tour this year. As soon as we knew that we would be moving to Charlotte, and had a good idea of when we would be there, I went ahead and registered. And can I just say that I am stoked that there will be night races this year? There will be an additional night race sometime this year in Charlotte. Needless to say I signed up for the email on that!
Oh my gosh, I am so happy that I am so excited about my upcoming runs! What are YOUR favorite kinds of races?

NOGALES : Genera controversia permiso a una armería en Tubac
By 16:58:00
Nogales, AZ.- Despite fervent pushback from some neighbors, a Tubac man will be allowed to continue selling firearms from his home after receiving approval from the District 3 Board of Adjustment on Thursday.
The decision came after a contentious meeting during which eight people stood up to express their opinions for and against Robert Gorman's request for the conditional use permit, some arguing that allowing the business could not only pose a security risk, but might disrupt the peaceful community and lower property values in the neighborhood.
Gorman, who transfers and sells a small number of specialty guns from his home in Tubac with a federal firearms license, said he has been operating legally under the supervision of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives for the last 30 years and immediately applied for the conditional use permit when an inspector asked for one earlier this year.
"This is not an illegal operation," he said, explaining that though he has only made nine transfers during the last five years, he is asking for the permit in order to comply with strict federal standards for anyone selling firearms. Gorman added that he rarely has customers pick up guns at his home, usually delivering them during special events in Tucson and that, until the "commotion" that ensued among neighbors after he applied for the permit, very few people were aware of the business. "In actuality, the whole thing getting going here has all been around only one transfer that was done at that place in five years.
And I don't see that changing at all," he said, adding that he only orders guns upon special request and does not keep any inventory on the property or post signage of any kind. "This is my neighborhood too. That's why I've been low key, that's why I want to stay low key. Unfortunately with all the activity this is getting, I'm not low key anymore."
During the Thursday afternoon meeting, Jesse Drake, county community development director, recommended that the board approve Gorman's request because he was in compliance with all necessary legal criteria for a home occupation permit, which she said is a legal requirement for anyone conducting business at a residential property in Santa Cruz County.
"Home occupations are allowed in the code, and there are other home businesses in the neighborhood," she said, noting that many people have guest house rentals or online businesses that also technically require a permit, though they may not realize it, as was the case for Gorman before his last firearms license inspection. She added, however, that though neighbors "didn't even know the business was there until (the hearing) was posted," part of the approval process is based not only on the legality of the application but also the community's response.
The county received 14 letters in support and 13 in opposition to Gorman's request prior to the public hearing, and eight people approached the board on Thursday with questions, concerns and arguments for why they believed their neighbor should or should not be permitted to continue using his home as the location for business transactions.
Pros and cons
Among those who argued against Gorman's permit was neighbor Richard Roth, whose objections included potential traffic in the quiet neighborhood and the fact that guns "can harm and kill people and be used in crimes." Others complained that bringing a commercial business into the residential area could potentially reduce the value of the homes nearby, as potential buyers might be dissuaded from purchasing if they know someone was selling firearms in the neighborhood.
On the other hand, supporters like Tubac resident Earl Wilson, who formerly served on the board of adjustments, reeled at the idea that community members would interfere with someone's right to legally acquire a permit he qualifies for. "All the evidence that has been provided has been quite clear that he has violated absolutely nothing.
He is doing the thing that he likes to do, wants to do, he has not bothered a single neighbor and there should be no reason on earth that he should be denied that," he said. And a few people, such as Mindy Maddock, a Tubac-based Realtor who said she came to the meeting "fully prepared to argue against the conditional permit," changed their minds about the matter after hearing all the details of the case. "I do support Mr. Gorman, and I didn't plan to do it," she quipped.
As Gorman and Drake responded to questions from the board and attempted to address concerns expressed during the public hearing, a few members of the audience continued to call out questions and comments, causing board chair Dean Davis to tell them, "Folks, you're driving me crazy," though he added after the meeting that he appreciated everyone's participation. Davis joined the other two members of the five-person board in attendance – Donald Davidson and Ron Campana – in voting unanimously to approve Gorman's permit, citing his past responsibility and that they could find no reasonable objection.

Abstract : This paper reports the numerical simulation of spin coating for functionalised Carbon Nanotube CNT suspensions. Spin coating is a process commonly used to deposit uniform thin films onto flat substrates by means of high rotation velocity and centrifugal force. The functionalised CNTs modelled in this study were chemically treated in a way such that aggregation was prevented through electrostatic repulsion between CNTs. The functionalised CNTs in the semi-dilute suspensions can be modelled as rigid fibres with their orientation dictated by the flow of the solvent. The evolution of CNT orientations was simulated using a pre-averaged kinetic theory with an appropriate rotary diffusion coefficient accounting for randomising events. A Natural Element strategy with an updated Lagrangian framework was implemented to solve the free-surface problem involving large domain deformation and to avoid numerical problems associated with Finite Element modelling. The model reported herein couples micro-scale CNT orientation with the macro-scopic suspension kinematics and it offers important insights in relation to the final properties of spin-coated CNT films as well as the processing behaviour of CNT suspensions.

Politics of Wednesday, 14 September 2016
Source: adomonline.com
A 41-year-old electrician has picked nomination forms to contest the upcoming general elections on December 7, 2016 as an independent candidate.
Mr. Lawrence Jamil Nkutia from Mafi Akramado in the Volta region said he has the magic wand to solve the energy crisis known in local parlance as dumsor.
The electrician disclosed this after picking his nomination forms at the office of the Electoral Commission in Accra, Tuesday.
In an interview with Adom News' Afia Boakyewaa Yiadom, Mr. Nkutia said he is the "modern day saviour" to bring real change to Ghanaians and save them from the incompetences of the Mahama-led National Democratic Congress (NDC) government.
He indicated that, his decision to contest the elections is due to the mismanagement of the country by successive governments that have ruled Ghana after Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, Ghana's first President.
According to him, Ghana is retrogressing due to economic mismanagement, corruption and lack of honesty on the part of leaders voted into power.
On how he intends to solve the energy problems, Mr. Nkutia said he has a lot of inventions including using solar power to reduce the load on the national electricity grid.
Even at his village where there is no electricity, he claimed he has been able to invent a solar lighting system which lasts up to 12 hours so the people can have power without being on the national grid.
Mr. Nkutia said changing NDC for the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) is no change but the real change is voting massively for him to end what he described as the unbridled corruption in the country.
