MARK O'Haire (@MarkOHaire) has browed Friday's Euro 2016 qualifying card to pick out the best bets on a busy night of international football.
Slovenia v Lithuania | Friday 19.45 | Sky Sports Interactive
Slovenia know victories over Lithuania and San Marino in their final two qualifiers would put them in pole position for a top-two finish should Switzerland falter in Estonia. The Lads hold head-to-head advantage over the Swiss and should at least have guaranteed a play-off place come Friday night.
Srecko Katanec's men have gone 29 games without recording a draw (W12-D0-L17) but their recent form suggest they should have no trouble brushing aside Lithuania in the delightful Slovenian capital of Ljubljana. Since 2012, the Lads have W8-D1-L5 when hosting opposition sides.
That return looks all the more imposing when taking into account Slovenia's home results in their last eight outings –W6-D0-L2. Only England (2-3) and Colombia (0-1) have left the country with a win with Katanec's troops earning victories over Albania, Canada, Norway, Switzerland, San Marino and Estonia.
Of course, that's not the most fearsome list of guests to visit but most impressively, all six wins came alongside a clean sheet. Taking only home qualifying matches into account, Slovenia have won five of their last six – all 'to nil' – with that England fixture the anomaly. A repeat is rated an eve-money chance by Boylesports and well worth an interest against the shot-shy visitors.
Slovenia beat Lithuania 2-0 away in the reverse fixture – the start of a W1-D1-L7 run for Igoris Pankratjevas' visitors. In their last outing, the National Team conceded a goal to San Marino (their only win in that nine-match sequence) – it was the minnows' first goal away since 2001 – and goes to show just how poor Lithuania are.
The travellers have failed to net in their last six away games, five of which were defeats. Going back to 2011, Lithuania have W2-D1-L7 of their qualifiers on the road with each defeat also coming 'to nil'. No player in the squad has managed more than five international goals and no player plies their trade in Europe's top leagues.
Slovakia v Belarus | Friday 19.45 | Sky Sports Interactive
Two games ago Slovakia were sure-fire automatic qualifiers for Euro 2016 but a solitary point from crucial clashes against Spain and Ukraine have delayed what seems to be the inevitable. Should the National Team beat Belarus on Friday night, they'll book their place at Euro 2016.
Surprise Last 16 qualifiers at the 2010 World Cup, Slovakia went on to win just seven of 20 meaningful matches in failed attempts to reach Euro 2012 and the 2014 World Cup. That was until Jan Kozak's appointment in August 2013 with the new boss sparking the side's reinvention and realising the potential of a talented and experienced squad.
Under Kozak, the National Team won six successive qualifiers, beating Spain along the way, to top Group C and put Slovakia on the cusp of qualification. Recalled goalkeeper Matus Kozacik has excelled whilst the likes of captain Marek Hamsik, Martin Skrtel, Jan Durica and Juraj Kucka have matured and led the group with solid displays to match their club exploits.
Nine different goalscorers have contributed to Slovakia's campaign and they should have enough nous and guile to unlock a stubborn Belarus side on Friday night. The National Team have W12-D1-L2 in their last 15 matches including friendlies with eight clean sheets kept and six of those victories by a margin of two goals or more.
Bet365 are allowing us back the hosts at 21/20 off a -1 Asian Handicap start and that holds plenty of appeal. Should Slovakia win by a solitary goal, we'll get our cash back. But should they win by two or more goals, we'll have ourselves a winner.
Belarus have been beaten in six of their last 10 fixtures as well as seven of their last 11 on the road. In qualifying matches Belarus have W1-D1-L6 away from Minsk and whilst only three of those defeats were by two or more goals, Aleksandr Khatskevich's visitors have plenty of injury concerns.
The head coach said, "Sergei Kornilenko can't help the team and there are concerns over the fitness of Aleksandr Hleb. Timofei Kalachev also has problems, while Igor Shitov was limited to just light training on Monday. There is a shortage of players but we won't call people up just to make up the numbers."
Slovakia should win here and we'll profit with a comfortable success.
Lichtenstein v Sweden | Friday 19.45 | Sky Sports Interactive
This might need a bit of persuading but stay with me, I'm suggesting Lichtenstein are value off a +2.5 start on the Asian Handicap line at 7/8 with 888. Should Sweden win by three goals or more in Vaduz, the bet is a loser. But should the minnows stay within two goals, draw or bag a highly unlikely victory, we win.
I've watched Sweden many a time over the past few years and more often than not I've been a tad disappointed by their progress. For yonks they were superb Both Teams To Score material but too often than not, they've failed to deliver when it's really mattered and their September qualifiers have really hit Erik Hamren's side for six.
The Swedish boss and star Zlatan Ibrahimovic both described their back-to-back losses to Russia (0-1 away) and Austria (1-4 at home) as 'disastrous' and they're not wrong. The Blue-Yellow were appalling in Moscow and cut to ribbons when Group G leaders Austria came to Stockholm. It means the Swedes must now try and salve third-place, realistically.
Games against Lichtenstein and Moldova give the Blue-Yellow a great opportunity to seal a play-off place but I don't see the visitors blowing either away. Of course, Sweden will dominate the ball on Friday night and the focus in training this week has been on speed in attack with full-backs looking to get crosses into the box early.
But Lichtenstein are well versed in defending deep and frustrating bigger, more powerful and well renowned nations. The hosts have already held Montenegro to a 0-0 draw in Vaduz and although they were spanked 7-0 by a revitalised Russia, the home side have only lost by three or more goals in five of their past 18 qualifying matches in the capital.
Sweden claimed top honours in the summer's European U21 Championship and have Zlatan primed and ready but they've run out winners by three or more goals just twice on their travels since 2007, a run of 50 fixtures. One of those victories came at San Marino whilst Moldova (x2), Kazakhstan, Faroe Islands and Malta have all stayed with two goals of the Blue Yellow during that sample.
Switzerland v San Marino | Friday 19.45 | Sky Sports Interactive
If my previous selection requires a wee bit of faith, my final pick might make you laugh. But hey, hold on in there…
San Marino +5.5 on the Asian Handicap is offered at the downright stupid price of 860/1000 with Ladbrokes – in decimals that's 1.86 – and believe it or not, it's a bet that I fancy on Friday night.
In their last away day, the no-hopers scored their first goal on the road in 14 years (losing 1-2 in Estonia) sparking jubilant scenes of celebration. They'll not stop Switzerland getting the three points that'll seal Euro 2016 qualification but recent form suggests they can give the final score a bit of respectability.
For our bet to win we need San Marino to lose by five or fewer goals. A Swiss victory by six or more goals will see the selection sunk. And the minnows have stayed within five goals of their opponents in nine of their last 12 matches.
And since an 11-0 annihilation in the Netherlands back in 2011, San Marino have lost by five goals or fewer in eight of their 10 away qualifiers. Throw in the fact that Switzerland have scored six goals or more in a match just once since 1992 and I reckon we've a nice little handicap bet to cheer on.
Best Bets
Slovenia v Lithuania – Slovenia to win 'to nil' (1/1 Boylesports)
Slovakia v Belarus – Slovakia -1 Asian Handicap (21/20 Bet365)
Lichtenstein v Sweden – Lichtenstein +2.5 Asian Handicap (7/8 888)
San Marino v Switzerland – San Marino +5.5 Asian Handicap (1.86 Ladbrokes)
Fancy England At 3/1 And Some Cash?
Paddy Power are 1/8 that England beat Estonia on Friday night. But if you're a new customer you'll get 3/1!
Fancy it? If so take the offer, email us at firstname.lastname@example.com and we'll offer the chance to win a cash prize.

The Reviews for the Get Fitt Mindfulness Training
Thank you for running such an enjoyable and invaluable talk. I was totally captured from start to finish and could not stop taking notes because I did not want to miss out on anything.
I really enjoyed your ease of delivery which was further enhanced by your confident and laid back presence and your ability to keep the room totally attentive, alert and engaged. This does not often happen in these type of presentations.
I have since started practicing the Techniques and found the practical aspect of the talk very impactful.
The Get Fitt Mindfulness Training helped to confirm, reinforce and give even deeper meaning and empowered my value system. And now I am ready and I can take my life to the next level.
was brilliant, just what I needed.''
Since the training I have been practising the simple techniques a few times daily - and noticed an increase in good things occurring!
I had recently been grappling with some of the issues you raised - In particular how I could override old emotional patterns.
I was so pleased to hear about a way to take control and have been applying the simple techniques since the talk.
The way that you communicated the various solutions via the short exercises was very helpful and easy to follow. I am very interested in empowerment and have read stuff about gaining empowerment but it never quite hit the mark (no pun intended!) in the way that your session did.
The Get Fitt Mindfulness Training was very enjoyable and the discussions which came out of it were very stimulating.I could have spent the whole day just listening to you and doing more short exercises.
I really loved the technique sessions and your explanation of the processes.
I know that you said you thought you spoke for too long. But I liked the fact that you spent a lot of time giving background information before the short exercises because it put the exercises into context.
Also the background information answered many questions that I had/gaps in my general understanding.
and the simplicity of the practices.''
We so often fail to understand the power of the mind.The Get Fitt Mindfulness Training really inspired me.
You are a great speaker with wonderful knowledge and experience to share.
Thank you so much.
training it was wonderful.''
''I like the reference you made to the ocean as we are the fish swimming in pure potential. I have been using this as a visualization since. ''
The Get Fitt Mindfulness Training provided a good balance of talk and interaction, and I felt very comfortable asking questions and participating. ''
I particularly enjoyed the practical side of the Training .
Mark kept the training simple, which was great. I want to know more.
I will remember it.''

Neptune is the planet that rules Pisces, the mystical water sign. Neptune takes about one hundred sixty-five years to travel through all twelve signs of the zodiac, and it remains in each sign for about fourteen years. And so Neptune is like Pluto; it defines a generation.
Depending on where Neptune falls in your personal chart, which can be found at astro.com you will be easily influenced by ideals and fantasies. The placement shows what an entire generation idealizes and has trouble being realistic about because the dreams and illusions of perfection get in its way.
Neptune energy is not rational in any way; instead, it operates on a subconscious level. It is connected to dreams, intuition, psychic abilities, and deep emotions. The broad brush of the planet's influence determines what a generation of people finds pleasing and desirable. For example, with the exception of the retrograde periods, Neptune was in Scorpio from December 1955 until November 1970. Those who came of age in this time frame were focused on transition. It was a period of great transformation—the traditions of the fifties dissolved into a passion for the new and experimental, and in many respects the worldview shifted. During this time our most inspired and impactful leaders—Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., JFK, Malcolm X, and Robert Kennedy were all assassinated, events emblematic of the transitions in American society. Everyone born during this time was deeply transformed by these deaths and the civil unrest of the time.
Neptune also impacts us personally, determining our ability to dream, create, and escape reality. As the ruler of Pisces, Neptune's placement in our chart can also influence our spiritual nature, how we handle problems, and how we relate with others. For instance, Pisces is the zodiac sign that absorbs everything like sponge. Those born under the sign of Pisces blend their energy with that of others unaware of their doing so, and this is the impact of Neptune. Neptune's energies pull us into the deep, subconscious mind where our egos disappear. A great deal of self-exploration (I suggest meditation or hypnosis) is required to access the deep oceans within us. It is arguably easier to identify what Neptune is up on a large scale, just turn your attention to how the group consciousness of the time is presenting.

Not only is it bad enough when as an employer you get an Employment Tribunal Claim, but now it would seem that you can never be too sure as to the extent of that claim. In the case of TGWU v Safeway Stores the Employment Appeal Tribunal gave authority for the notion that it will almost always be permissable to amend a Claim to introduce a new legal cause of action. This is where the new legal action relies on already pleaded facts (in the Claim Form) even if that new cause of action is out of time. You can read the case here.
As an employer it would be prudent to carefully review any Claim Forms you receive to ascertain whether there are any facts which may give rise to additional legal causes of action just so you do not get caught out.

No daubing of his bloody brow or teeth-gnashing would be required.
I just had to make sure #3 Son arrived at school on time to turn water into wine, heal the sick and enjoy a lovely supper, before being carted off for crucifixion.
Moments before I took he and The Stylist to meet their "fate", I decided a vintage nightie was just the thing to blend into the crowd.
Here's the wee laddie spreading the love ... oh so solemnly, before he was left holding up his cross.
It so happens that's the local cop shop in the background and they didn't intervene so I guess they weren't too concerned about children "nailing" each other to crosses on school grounds.
Oh yes, a rather see-through nightie, but what is underneath?
I can't date them all precisely, but they mainly originate from the 1930s.
I started my collection about three years ago, snapping up bargains on eBay and Etsy before the prices got out of hand and too silly for my small budget.
I continue to marvel at the hand-stitched embellishment on this silk cape.
Imagine the hours it took to make it!
That's it for today, would you like me to treat you to a tour of my slips and scanties in a future post?
Oh I'm sure you would!
It's #3 Son's 12th birthday tomorrow, then I'm planning on having a blog catch up, doing some sewing and scrounging as many choccie crumbs as I can!
What are your plans?
Molti baci,
Desiree xoxo

I got this lipstick ages ago, after Fleur de Force mentioned it on her Youtube channel.
The lipstick itself is very moisturising, its got a glossy finish.
It smells bloody amazing!
Overall , thumbs up.
I have to say, this is probably my most used lipstick.
I wouldn't say its my favourite, but because its cheap I don't mind using it all the time.
The colours really flattering.
I would defiantly be buying this again when I finish it.

I flew to California to visit our granddaughter. I had no time for blogs. Lots of baby time. I loved that.
Then my brother died and I haven't had the heart to write anything.
His full name was David Randall Montague Risser. He was the oldest of five children, but as the first he got loaded down with a lot of names. He was always called Randy and I never got a good explanation as to why he wasn't called David or named Randall first if that was what they were going to call him. He was David to most everyone else and Randy to us.
Randy was plagued off and on with major health issues. He hated that and did as many outdoor and physical things he could possibly do to compensate. We went to Yosemite and my grandfather's cabin a lot. My father was fond of hiking. Randy loved that so much he took it a step farther and started going on very long hikes. My parents would drop him and a companion off at one campground on a Friday and pick him up at another one 100 miles away on Sunday afternoon.
Randy had my dad's sense of humor. He liked to tease and they both found things funny that other people didn't. Every time Randy drove the long trip to Calico, he would stop at a diner. For some reason he started requesting a Green Death. They, of course didn't have a Green Death, because Randy had made it up. Naturally they asked what that was and Randy said it was a lime soda and chocolate ice cream float.
I know. You are thinking, Yuck! But he persisted. Finally, when he asked AGAIN if they had a Green Death, they DID! They had managed to find lime soda and then Randy had a Green Death on every visit from then on.
Randy went on to earn his PhD in Anthropology at UC Davis, even after becoming horribly sick a few months after collecting fruit flies in South America for genetics studies. During summers he parlayed his love of the outdoors into a Ranger position at Mount Rainier in Washington. He had to learn to use ice axes and crampons and used to regale us with stories about walking on glaciers, having to safely navigate a crevasse and rescuing hikers. Back in the Sixties Rangers were called Tree Pigs.
Randy and his wife Jeanne took many jobs in Universities all over the United States until he discovered an interest in epidemiology. He went back to school and got a Master's degree (if you are counting, that is one BS, two Master's and one PhD) and ended up in Texas at the Texas Cancer Registry in Austin. His son Darwin was raised there.
Randy had several very serious illnesses and came back from every one. This took a toll on him, however. His most recent issue was a serious liver disease that would eventually require a new liver. They hoped to keep him going so long, that it wouldn't be an issue, but he took a turn for the worse. I asked him about a partial transplant, because I was willing to be tested for a match, but that wasn't the part he needed. Someone would have to die to give him the liver he needed.
Translants are a scary thing. Rarely does a healthy person get a transplant. You have to be sick enough to get on the list, but not so sick that they don't think you can survive the surgery. Randy went from being too well and too sick a few times. Last month, he was well enough and a liver became available and they didn't have long to decide. Randy and Jeanne decided the risk of the surgery was a better chance than the certainty of a rapidly failing liver and went for the surgery.
The surgery was a success and the liver started working right away. Randy turned back to being pink and said he loved his liver. He spoke to his wife about what they would do when he was finally healthy again. They were going to take their son to Mt Rainier. He hadn't been born when they were there. Then the doctors had to go back in to fix an issue, then another came up, and another. The liver was working fine, but complications arose and this time Randy couldn't fight his way through. He died fighting with all he had. Jeanne had been by his side, working with him all their married life and his son had just gotten married. There were things he wanted to do.
Sadly, this was one obstacle he wasn't able to overcome.
This summer Jeanne will take his son and daughter-in-law back to Mt. Rainier, the place he loved above all others. He still has friends from his hiking, college and Ranger days. Those that can, will meet this summer and Jeanne can show Dar all the places Randy had spoke of showing him. He can meet the friends that helped to make Randy the man he became and hear the stories of his father before he was born. None of us knew our parents in their youth, but illnesses had taken their toll on Randy before Dar was born. He never knew the man that could hike 100 miles in three days or rescue hikers in a snowstorm on top of a glacier. The one that would volunteer to live in a sweat box of an antique trailer hunched over a rocky hole in the sandy desert. Because he was interested and he found it fun.
They will hike to Randy's favorite places and tell stories around the campfire. Dar and Michal will learn about the man they never knew and the man they loved all the way to the end. I'm sure it will be fun and fascinating and heartbreaking. I'm going to be there.
I was at my son's house when my brother Roland called me with the sad news. I was away from home and it was hard to bear. We all had been so hopeful. The next night for dinner, my son Travis fixed a special dessert. We all had our first taste of Green Death. It was pretty good. And sort of gross. It made me cry.

"Mike worked closely with us to develop a comprehensive plan for our entire property. The master plan allows us to take a phased approach to the construction, implementing different areas of focus as funds become available. The first project was a major one, consisting of the design and construction of a large bluestone patio, fieldstone retaining wall and outdoor kitchen. Mike assisted us in the sifting through the design and material options and helped us make appropriate selections that complement our home and site design. Mike managed the project construction very effectively as well, a difficult task in a town known for challenging regulations. The project was handled very efficiently and was completed just prior to a large planned event. We have tremendously enjoyed every moment on our new patio and are looking forward to working with Mike on the next phase of the plan."

Australia has long been on my list of places to visit and this past November we finally had the chance to go. Our primary reason for visiting was to attend a family wedding but we filled our itinerary to the brim and managed to visit 4 different cities during our 2 week trip. Traveling abroad with a toddler can be a test of your organization skills, patience and adaptability but it's well worth it!
Mom tips:
1. Car seats and boosters are required in all cars except taxis. Here is a resource on the current car seat requirements.
2. Be sure to print a packing list. I like this one from Independent Traveler because it allows you to customize the list with your own items.
3. Keep all your travel documents organized and readily available. I uploaded all our hotel confirmations, flight info, car rental rental info, etc. into TripIt.
4. The flight from LAX to SYD was around 14 hours. We chose to fly out of LAX at 10 PM so our kiddo would be asleep for the first half of the flight.
5. I packed a bunch of different snacks and toys/activities in Parker's backpack.The biggest hits for him at this age were: crocodile dentist (no batteries, no sound, no small pieces that can fall under a seat), play doh, hot wheels, iPad loaded with episodes of Wild Kratts (don't forget headphones!), travel fishing game, and a Magic Ink mess free coloring book.
Our first stop was in Sydney where we explored Bondi Beach, the Opera House, the Sydney Bridge and visited family. We only spent 2 short days in Sydney but managed to see quite a lot. Sydney has a metro system that makes it easy to get around but we chose to rent a car since we were traveling with so many people. Driving on the "wrong" side of the road was an adventure!
[We roll deep.]
[Dessert at Max Brenner with family.]
After a couple of days in Sydney, we flew to Melbourne where we spent time prepping for Henry & Ngoc's wedding. Mostly we just hung out at their beautiful home and they put my wedding planning/crafting skills to work. Tuan was very busy running around fulfilling his groomsman duties so Parker was my hot date for the wedding.
After the wedding, we hopped on a flight to my favorite part of the trip, Hamilton Island! Hamilton Island was a lush tropical dream. The island is small and everyone gets around on buggies (golf carts). We stayed at a rental called The Cowries which was surrounded by lush trees and a lot of fruit bats.
[The first thing we did once we settled in was jump into the pool!]
[We hosted a BBQ at the house for all our friends and family and watched the bats as they swooped by the deck.]
[Parker and I at Catseye Beach.]
[Parker loved the Bougainvillea Pool which is located right next to Catseye Beach. The whole island was very kid-friendly.]
[Wild lorakeets and cockatoos can be seen everywhere on the island and they are very people friendly. This little guy flew right up to our table as we were having lunch along the marina.]
[Sleeping koala at WILD LIFE Hamilton Island.]
[Car seats are required for kids on the buggies! We were unprepared for this but luckily the owners of The Cowries had two on hand.]
[Us at Whitehaven Beach. The ride out was very choppy but the beautiful sands and water made up for the rough ride.]
[There's a tiny jelly fish commonly found in the water around Whitehaven Beach that can do some serious harm so these very classy sting suits were included in our cruise package.]
After our time on the island was over, we returned to Melbourne and departed on a 2 day road trip on the Great Ocean Road. The Great Ocean Road took us through a handful of charming little towns along the coast. We made pit stops to hike, see waterfalls, farms and tide pools. We also saw giant ants, ferns that were taller than me, wild koalas, parrots and lots of sheep and cows. The road is very windy so if you get motion sickness easily, take some dramamine.
[Erskine Falls]
[Going off trail.]
[Watch out for snakes!]
[The green rolling hills in Apollo Bay were covered in herds of sheep. It reminded me so much of Ireland.]
[Exploring the Merengo Reefs Marine Sanctuary.]
[Tide pooling with Parker. Of course he fell into a big tide pool right as we were about for dinner in town.]
[The view from Seafarer's Getaway. This was a gorgeous property with rolling hills behind it and rolling waves in front of it.]
[The parrots along the Kennet River Koala Walk were very aggressive. This one landed on Parker's head! Once we got passed the birds, we managed to spot one wild koala sitting in the Eucalyptus trees. You know what koalas do in the wild? The same thing they do at the zoo. Sleep.]
[We wrapped up our road trip with a stop to the Twelve Apostles. Such an incredible sight and well worth the driving time.]
On our last day in Melbourne, we ate and walked our way through downtown. We rode around on the free trolley, visited Victoria market to buy souvenirs and had a fantastic steak dinner along the river.
[Hot chocolate with fairy floss from #.]
[I was busy taking pictures of food while Tuan was busy parenting.]
[We spotted this orange vespa in front of a boutique and Parker HAD TO sit on it.]
[Graffiti lane]
[Downtown was decked out in holiday decor. Can you spot Parker being a creep?]
Our trip home was a disaster due to United Airlines making us miss our flight. Thanks a lot, United! We were rebooked with Quantas and had to fly from SYD to SFO to LAX. In total, it took nearly 30 hours for us to get back to San Diego. Parker was a trooper and did well on all the flights. In fact, he told me that his favorite part of the trip was all the plane rides. Where should we go next?

Animal Angles: Frogs' Friends
by Ruth Tenzer Feldman
Frogs have amphibian classmates—Eastern red-backed salamanders (Plethodon cinereus)—whose eating habits help them, and perhaps us too, to survive.
The bad news is that Eastern red-backed salamanders are also threatened, like frogs, by acid rain and global warming. Like all Plethodons, they live on land, have no lungs, and breathe through moist skin. Acid rain lowers the sodium content of soil, making it harder for the red-backed salamanders to get the amount of sodium they need to survive. With less sodium, these salamanders excrete water so that they can maintain the right sodium-to-water ratio in their bodies. That dries their skin and makes it harder for oxygen to pass through. Global warming also dries out the soil, making it still harder for them to breathe.
The good news is that Eastern red-backed salamanders eat leaf-fragmenting animals, such as beetles. Leaf fragmenters break leaves into smaller bits, making it easier—with the help of fungi and bacteria—for the leaves to decompose and release carbon into the air as carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas. Leaf fragmenters also eat the nitrogen-rich parts of leaves. By eating leaf fragmenters, Eastern red-backed salamanders slow the leaf decomposition process and help to keep nitrogen on the forest floor, too.
More good news: Eastern red-backed salamanders are still the most abundant terrestrial vertebrates in the northeastern United States. They thrive in forests over 80 years old. According to Richard Wyman, who studies them at the E.N. Huyck Preserve in Rensselaerville, NY, there are 18 billion red-backed salamanders in New York State alone. Dr. Wyman estimates that they keep 400 million tons of carbon on New York's forest floors every year!
- decomposition:
- The decaying or rotting of something.
- excrete:
- To discharge from the blood, tissues, or organs.
- greenhouse gas:
- Any of the atmospheric gases that contribute to the greenhouse effect.
- terrestrial:
- Living or growing on land.
- Draw a food web that shows the relationship between the organisms mentioned in this article.
[anno: Students' food webs should have arrows that point from beetles to plants. Arrows should point from red-backed salamanders to beetles. Students might include an arrow from humans to red-backed salamanders, which would represent pollution or forest decimation harming the red-backed salamanders.]
- Describe three consequences of an increase in acid rain falling on an old forest where the red-backed salamander lives.
[anno: Answers may vary but could include that the amount of carbon dioxide would increase because more red-backed salamanders would die and stop eating beetles. Species that eat the red-backed salamanders would also suffer. If the salamanders die, there would be fewer beetles eaten, and there would be fewer nitrogen-rich leaves left for other plants and animals to feed upon.]

The Coolest Feature
Smart Fix validation is probably the most interesting feature in the XML editor of XMLSpy, one of the flagship pieces of the MissionToolkit. With Smart Fix, in addition to reporting comprehensive information about validation errors, XMLSpy enumerates the possible corrections for fixing those errors and will make the required changes automatically, based on your selection.
But wait... What is XML Spy?
XMLSpy abstracts away the complexity of working with XML-based technologies through its intuitive user interface and rich variety of XML editing views and options. Five synchronized XML editing views allow you to work with any XML technology in a way that best suits the complexity of the document and your preferences, for instance, if you prefer to develop in a text view, graphical view, or switch back and forth between the two.
And one other new feature around XML Spy in this release is the ability to embed XSDs in WSDL documents in XMLSpy.
Map Force Supports SQL Stored Procedures
Here's a bit about MapForce, the other flagship piece of the MissionToolkit:
To use MapForce, simply open data sources and targets as mapping components, drop in data processing functions from the customizable libraries, and then drag connecting lines between the nodes you wish to associate. Mapping output is created in real-time.
The new stored procedures support allows you to start a data mapping project as:
- Input components (for stored procedures that provide results)
- Output components (for stored procedures that insert or update data in a database)
- Data processing function calls (allowing users to provide input data, execute the stored procedure, and read/map the output data to other components)
Finally, some of the other new features include:
- An API that allows developers to integrate XMLSpy, MapForce, StyleVision, and Authentic functionality seamlessly in custom Java applications for Windows.
- Watermarks XML, SQL database, and XBRL content in StyleVision - the visual designer for XSLT and reports.
So if any of these tools and features have intrigued you, you shoud go here and look for the fully-functional 30-day trial further down this page.

Last week, Lulu was amused to read that Petaling Jaya Selatan (PJS) Umno division members staged a "peaceful demonstration" at the PJS 2 toll plaza at Kampung Medan in Jalan Kelang Lama to protest against toll rates.
Umno fellas carrying banners and cardboard placards with the words ''Shutdown the Toll Plaza,'' ''Don't Want Toll,'' and ''No More Toll" shouting Hapuskan Toll (Get rid of the toll)? This is the sort of thing that people who "dont love the government" do. Not UMNO fellas.
Immediately, their protest prompted a reaction from the Cabinet.
The Cabinet, which will meet on Wednesday for its weekly meeting, is expected to discuss toll rates.[Other protests's prompt reaction are usually delivered by FRU. Kinda unfair, isnt it?]
This was said by Works Minister Datuk Mohd Zin Mohamed when asked if the Government would consider reducing or abolishing tolls which motorists say are burdening them, especially with the economic downturn.
"I will talk about it (toll rates) after the Cabinet meet on Wednesday," he said when asked to comment on calls by certain quarters to abolish the New Pantai Expressway toll.
And you know what?
Toll collection at the Kuala Lumpur-bound toll plaza at PJS2 on the New Pantai Expressway (NPE) has been abolished from midnight last night.Lulu wonders if those UMNO idiots leading the protests already knew that the abolishment was in the works.
The Cabinet decided to do away with the RM1.60 toll last week, said Works Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Zin Mohamed yesterday.
"The decision by the Cabinet was a consequence of the Works Ministry's memorandum to abolish the toll. Since tomorrow is Valentine's Day, it is also the Government's way to show love to the rakyat," he said during the announcement ceremony of the abolishment.
Lulu finds it a bit hard to believe that within less than a week, a compensation package could be discussed and agreed upon.
and Lulu wonders, how much was the compensation package? What was traded off?
Lulu is really disgusted.
and you know what?
Lulu thinks, if the police were to raid these PJS Umno division fellas office, Lulu would not be surprised if they'd find OSA-classified documents regarding this toll. Lulu wishes someone would.

"It's so underreported and people are scared that if they call and complain about a police officer, they think every other police officer is going to be then out to get them."
—Chief Bernadette DiPino of the Sarasota Police Department in Florida
|Adapted from a Photo by Alexandre Dulaunoy.
By Matt Sedensky and Nomaan Merchant
Flashing lights pierced the black of night, and the big white letters made clear it was the police. The woman pulled over was a daycare worker in her 50s headed home after playing dominoes with friends. She felt she had nothing to hide, so when the Oklahoma City officer accused her of erratic driving, she did as directed.
She would later tell a judge she was splayed outside the patrol car for a pat-down, made to lift her shirt to prove she wasn't hiding anything, then to pull down her pants when the officer still wasn't convinced. He shined his flashlight between her legs, she said, then ordered her to sit in the squad car and face him as he towered above. His gun in sight, she said she pleaded "No, sir" as he unzipped his fly and exposed himself with a hurried directive.
"Come on," the woman, identified in police reports as J.L., said she was told before she began giving him oral sex. "I don't have all night."
The accusations are undoubtedly jolting, and yet they reflect a betrayal of the badge that has been repeated time and again across the country.
In a yearlong investigation of sexual misconduct by U.S. law enforcement, The Associated Press uncovered about 1,000 officers who lost their badges in a six-year period for rape, sodomy and other sexual assault; sex crimes that included possession of child pornography; or sexual misconduct such as propositioning citizens or having consensual but prohibited on-duty intercourse.
The number is unquestionably an undercount because it represents only those officers whose licenses to work in law enforcement were revoked, and not all states take such action. California and New York — with several of the nation's largest law enforcement agencies — offered no records because they have no statewide system to decertify officers for misconduct. And even among states that provided records, some reported no officers removed for sexual misdeeds even though cases were identified via news stories or court records.
"It's happening probably in every law enforcement agency across the country," said Chief Bernadette DiPino of the Sarasota Police Department in Florida, who helped study the problem for the International Association of Chiefs of Police. "It's so underreported and people are scared that if they call and complain about a police officer, they think every other police officer is going to be then out to get them."
Even as cases around the country have sparked a national conversation about excessive force by police, sexual misconduct by officers has largely escaped widespread notice due to a patchwork of laws, piecemeal reporting and victims frequently reluctant to come forward because of their vulnerabilities — they often are young, poor, struggling with addiction or plagued by their own checkered pasts.
In interviews, lawyers and even police chiefs told the AP that some departments also stay quiet about improprieties to limit liability, allowing bad officers to quietly resign, keep their certification and sometimes jump to other jobs.
The officers involved in such wrongdoing represent a tiny fraction of the hundreds of thousands whose jobs are to serve and protect. But their actions have an outsized impact — miring departments in litigation that leads to costly settlements, crippling relationships with an already wary public and scarring victims with a special brand of fear.
"My God," J.L. said she thought as she eyed the officer's holstered gun, "he's going to kill me."
The AP does not name alleged victims of sexual assault without their consent, and J.L. declined to be interviewed. She was let go after the traffic stop without any charges. She reported her accusations immediately, but it was months before the investigation was done and the breadth of the allegations known.
She is one of 13 women who say they were victimized by the officer, a former college football standout named Daniel Holtzclaw. The fired cop, 28, has pleaded not guilty to a host of charges, and his family posted online that "the truth of his innocence will be shown in court." Each of his accusers is expected to testify in the trial that begins Monday, including one who was 17 when she said the officer pulled down her pink cotton shorts and raped her on her mother's front porch.
But on a June night last year, it was J.L.'s story that unleashed a larger search for clues.

That was the subject heading of an email I received recently.
It was a mail from Joyee, a visitor to my blog. She had written to me previously to asked for tips on decorating a cake with sugarpaste as she wanted to make one for her son's year old birthday.
All I did was to share some of my past experience on how to give sugarpaste the ''tender loving care'' needed to give the cake a smooth finish.
She wrote to thank me for the tips and attached some photos of the beautiful cake she made. Joyee did a wonderful job of decorating a two tier cake with Anpanman figurines, insects and fencings. I tell you, for a first timer, she blew me away.
So appreciative is she that she had to send me 'Thank You' pressie. It was a pack of Basler Lackerli cookies which she had asked her husband to bring back for me from Switzerland. She had read from one of my earlier posting
that I have not tasted the real cookie before and to quote from what she wrote on the gift card: "Here's a treat for you to show my appreciation". Wow! It is really a great treat. The cookie is really good. It is sweet, but not cloying sweet and it has the nicest citrusy flavor from the dried citron.
I just want to say to Joyee again, you are the one that made it happen, not me. You have a hidden talent which you are just discovering.
Okay now to the cookies. Hmmm...comparing what I have made to this, I would say I am pretty close to it in taste except mine was sweeter from the too thick sugar glazing ontop (a comment that was also given by my niece). It is addictive! For me, the chewiness just makes me want to eat one, two and then three cookie. Thank you Joyee.
Here is the Real McCoy
The cookie. You can see that the sugar glazing is much thinner than mine.

Toms River Approves Purchase Plan for Camp Albocondo
Toms River Council members have approved a proposed plan to purchase the former Camp Albocondo campground property from the Trust for Public Land.
That's after previous plans from the Toms River Superintendent of Schools and the Board of Education as well as the Town Council itself fell through. Under this proposal, the township will pay $2.2 million of the property's $4.1 million price tag through its Open Spaces Fund. The remainder of the bill will be paid for by Ocean County.
Kathy Haake with the Trust for Public Land says the site is absolutely vital to the health of the Barnegat Bay.
"25 percent of the fresh water that goes into the Barnegat Bay comes from the Toms River, and this property borders the Toms River," Haake said. "It makes a lot of sense to see this property preserved."
Haake says the site has been appraised at $5.9 million, but the TPL is only asking the township to match its original purchase price. The Ocean County Natural Lands Trust Fund Advisory Committee will consider the county's part of the agreement at its next meeting on April 24, 2014.

(PRWEB) February 2, 2005
The Central Nebraska Film Festival concluded January 29th with the controversial documentary Â416Â winning both the Feature Film Award and Audience Award! Â416Â is a documentary by Omaha filmmaker Jim Fields that explores the issue of same sex marriage and civil rights for gay couples in Nebraska. The movieÂs title comes from the Nebraska 2000 ballot initiative 416 which states that: Âonly marriage between a man and a woman shall be valid or recognized in Nebraska. The uniting of two persons of the same sex in a civil union, domestic partnership or other similar same-sex relationship shall not be valid or recognized in NebraskaÂ. Passed into law by Nebraska voters in the 2000 elections, initiative 416 was the most extreme and comprehensive Defense of Marriage Amendment created in the United States.
Patrick ReaÂs suspenseful film ÂHell to Pay about a lonely housewife who gets revenge against her rude husband by making a voodoo doll took home the Best Short Film Award. A film graduate of the University of Kansas, Patrick Rea has been making short films and videos for the last six years.

#1973: Marine Links Serco Red Switch ATC to Inmarsat Uninterruptible Track, MH 370 Game of Drag and Drop
Plum City – (AbelDanger.net). United States Marine Field McConnell has linked Serco director Maureen Baginski's apparent development of Red Switch Networks for hijack air traffic control (ATC) to uninterruptible tracking devices allegedly used by Inmarsat, Boeing and Honeywell during a MH 370 drag-and-drop computer game at the McCormick School of Engineering, Northwestern University (cf. Unabomb!), Chicago on March 8, 2014.
McConnell alleges that Serco air traffic control agents operated the Red Switch Network so that players in the game could track real and virtual MH 370 assets as they were dragged and dropped along Inmarsat's 10,000 km arc and see if they could keep the search teams hunting until the public and the airlines lost interest and backed the ICAO's phony demand for real-time tracking.

"Airlines seek real-time aircraft tracking after MH370 mystery: U.N. official
KUALA LUMPUR Mon May 26, 2014 3:25am EDT
United Nations »
Aerospace & Defense »
(Reuters) – Major airlines want real-time tracking for commercial aircraft following the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines (MASM.KL) flight MH370 and cost is not a concern, a senior official with the United Nations' aviation agency said on Monday.
The mystery surrounding MH370, which vanished en route to China, has sparked a global drive for a system that would enable controllers to pinpoint the exact route and last location of an aircraft. A nearly three-month-long international search has so far failed to find any trace of the Malaysian plane.
Members of the International Civil Aviation Organization's (ICAO) governing council agreed earlier this month on the need for global tracking, although they did not commit to a binding solution or timeline.
Instead, the global airline industry group, International Air Transport Association (IATA), agreed to come up with proposals for better tracking by the end of September. IATA said its members would implement measures voluntarily, before any rules were in place.
"In principle the community has agreed. There's no question this is something we need to do," Nancy Graham, director of ICAO's Air Navigation Bureau, told reporters in Kuala Lumpur.
"We are developing the voluntary path and a rule for the future. We intend to have regulation to support that globally."
Asked whether the cost of implementing new standards was a stumbling block for airlines, Graham said: "Not at all, they're absolutely in solidarity. There's no price you can put on safety or certainty on where the aircraft are."
Graham was speaking at the start of a two-day experts' conference sponsored by Malaysia's government on real-time monitoring of flight data. The meeting will not decide on flight-tracking reforms, but could generate new proposals.
Experts say the technology to implement real-time tracking is available and relatively simple, but some aspects have raised concerns about data privacy from pilots, aircraft manufacturers and airlines.
Inmarsat Group, a satellite company whose data helped track MH370, has offered to provide airlines with tracking at no cost. Rival firms such as Iridium Communications (IRDM.O), however, say outfitting a jet with the tracking system could cost more than $100,000.
Malaysian investigators suspect someone shut off MH370's data links making the plane impossible to track, prompting Prime Minister Najib Razak to call for the ICAO to adopt real-time tracking of civilian aircraft.
The flight, a Boeing (BA.N) 777 jet, vanished from civilian radar screens less than an hour after take-off from Kuala Lumpur en route to Beijing on March 8.
Based on a complex analysis of satellite signals, MH370 is believed to have crashed in the southern Indian Ocean off Australia. But no trace has been found since it went missing with 239 people on board, despite the most intensive search in commercial aviation history.
Graham said ownership and protection of flight data were among the issues that needed to be ironed out before a global tracking system was put in place. "Aviation is the first global business and in global businesses you have to determine where the lines of boundary are," she said.
A European proposal to increase the maximum amount of recording time on cockpit voice recorders to 20 hours from two hours ran into opposition from Airbus (AIR.PA) and pilot groups.
Some pilots expressed concerns about longer recordings, saying they could be misused by employers, released without their authorization or used in court without their permission.
If found, the voice recorders on MH370 will contain recordings of only the last two hours of the flight, which would be several hours after the plane disappeared from radar off Malaysia's east coast.
Malaysia's minister of communications, Ahmad Shabery Cheek, told the conference that regulators and the industry needed to find a better balance between privacy and safety.
"(It's) between allowing a pilot the ability to shut down electronic components in emergencies, or mitigating that power. These are issues we will also have to consider in trying to come to a standard," he said.
Graham denied there had been a lack of urgency in implementing flight-tracking reforms following the 2009 crash of an Air France (AIRF.PA) jetliner in the Atlantic Ocean, and said tracking would not have prevented the MH370 disaster.
"Global tracking would not have prevented this incident," she said. "We don't know right now what caused this accident."

Opportunities at the intersection of game theory and computer science
"A small band of economists and computer scientists, unified by an appreciation for mathematical beauty and a common vision, is amassing at Northwestern University. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to join this elite group in the time-honored search for truth, beauty, and science. The fate of the Internet and global electronic commerce rests in the balance."
Rarely do recruitment posters for PhD programs parody movie trailers — but then again, rarely has a new group garnered the excitement that the newly formed Economics Group in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science has generated over the past year.
The group bridges the gap between two fields that have long shared many similarities — even a founder. In the 1940s and 1950s the work of noted mathematician John von Neumann gave rise to both computer science and game theory. Now, as the Internet provides new challenges to old theories and an entirely new way to observe human interaction, the two fields are increasingly intertwined.
At McCormick, three new hires have made this intersection between game theory and computer science a considerable strength. Leveraging the historic prominence of the Kellogg School of Management's work in game theory, the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) looks to assume leadership in this quickly developing field.
As Nicole Immorlica, assistant professor, settles into her new position at McCormick this fall, she joins Jason Hartline, assistant professor, and Lance Fortnow, professor of electrical engineering and computer science, to form the new Economics Group at McCormick. Also key to the development of the group is Rakesh Vohra, the John K. and Helen Kellogg Professor of Managerial Economics and Decision Sciences at Kellogg. Thanks to a joint appointment in EECS, Vohra links that department to Kellogg, which has been a leader in game theory for decades. The success of Kellogg's faculty in this area should help the interaction flourish.
"We have the largest group of people doing game theory at any one institution in the world," says Vohra. "This new area helps cement Northwestern's reputation in game theory. This is a growing field, and we now have a substantial strength that we didn't have before."
"MDA Wins Key U.S. Aviation Contract
Richmond, B.C. – MacDonald, Dettwiler and Associates Ltd. (TSE: MDA) announced today the company has been awarded a contract by the United States Air Force to develop a system to be used by specialists at Air Force bases to design Instrument Approach Procedures (IAPs).
IAPs are published instructions to pilots specifying a series of aircraft maneuvers that must be executed for the aircraft to transition safely from an en route airway to a runway final approach when flying by instruments. MDA's system ingests digital terrain and elevation data, air navigation data (such as the locations of navigation aids, runways, buildings and towers) to build and display a virtual model of the physical environment surrounding an airport. It then develops the complex surfaces that define a safe approach corridor for any of the dozens of IAP variants, and determines whether any of the defined surfaces are penetrated by terrain or man-made obstacles. It flags these incursions to the operator, who can quickly modify the approach procedure through a drag-and-drop user interface.
This initial award, valued at $2.9 million (CDN), consists of a fixed price element to develop, integrate, and test the system. The next phase will include installation, government testing, and operator training. The contract includes an option for the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to adapt the system for their needs. The U.S. Air Force also has options to field the successful system at up to 108 air bases around the world, and to award T&M support contracts for up to 8 years. MDA plans to team up with Air Navigation Data (AND) of Ottawa to offer a custom solution, based on AND's "Final Approach" product.
MDA President and CEO Daniel Friedmann said: "This is a significant project for MDA that has the potential to improve the safety of air transportation for many other air forces and civil aviation authorities world wide."

McConnell may speak about these issues at the Van Zandt County Veterans Memorial in Texas on Monday May 26 where organizers have invited him back after his speech last year (see video).
Soon after his Memorial Day speech, McConnell will start work on the video where he will show Abel Danger's theory of what profile was flown by Captain Zaharie and his MH Flight 370 crew as they were dragged from their en route airway and dropped on Diego Garcia on March 8, 2014.

Great to see the mhorrigotii getting some love again :) I'm still hoping to see some Sicklekin Daemons at some pointReplyDeleteReplies
I know, I know... I did start building one, but I was less than happy with the result so It's been shelved for now. Gotta get back to it eventually and see if the conversion can be salvaged somehow.Delete
Im following your blog since a couple of month and i really enjoy your conversions. Your creativity is always an inspiration. Maybe at the end of this year im able to start my own warband. Keep it up my friend.
Love it.ReplyDelete
Truly original.
I´m not sure about the spear, pistol, one arm combo though
Just my 2 centsReplies
Um. In retrospect no... But it's all painted now so not much to do about it. Guess he uses the spear like a billiard cue, with the sickle arm as a brace?Delete

85 Market Center DriveCollierville, TN 38107
Sale Amount: $4.1 million
Sale Date: Nov. 5, 2015
A McDonald's restaurant at the southeast corner of Highland Street and Southern Avenue is moving forward.
Local McDonald's franchisee Century Management Inc. has applied for a $1.2 million building permit for the new restaurant, which will replace an existing McDonald's just across Highland.
FedEx has decided not to renew a lease at a prominent East Memphis office building.
FedEx Services is not renewing a roughly 11,000-square-foot lease at the 189,644-square-foot Renaissance Center office building at 1715 Aaron Brenner Drive that expires Oct. 1. Employees affected by the decision will be moved to FedEx facilities, part of a broader consolidation and efficiency plan the company has been pursuing.
Super Submarine Sandwich Shop is moving along with its plans to relocate from its longstanding location on the Highland Avenue strip near the University of Memphis.
A $141,000 building permit has been applied with the city-county Office of Construction Code Enforcement for the interior and exterior remodel of the old Captain D's restaurant space at 3316 Summer Ave.
Two mainstay retail businesses on the Highland strip, Super Submarine Sandwich Shop and smoking accessory and gift shop Whatever, have about six months to find new locales.
That's because the property owner of 612 S. Highland St. is under contract to sell the 9,628-square-foot strip center to a new owner that will allegedly raze it.

Dear Maria and Rick,
If you will allow me, I wanted to share with you some of the Zentangle Christmas Eggs I made recently. I am not a CZT (yet - maybe someday) but Zentangle has changed my life. I am a long time Pysanky artist and most recently have been inspired by your gift of Zentangle.
Thank you so much for this wonderful gift and for inspiring so many lives.
Thank you so much for sharing your inspiration!
