Refinance Boom OverPublished June 18th, 2009 in Economy
The decline in interest rates and more importantly in mortgage rates have been able to prop up the ailing US economy a little bit. But it seems that the short lived mortgage refinancing boom is over and will no longer be able to offer any support :
Keep in mind that the most recent data suggests that bond sentiment is extremely bearish.

When Jack Ma and his colleagues sat down in 2001 to lay out Alibaba's defining values, they named them after a martial arts technique drawn from Ma's love of kung fu novels and their heroic themes.
But the corporate culture of China's biggest e-commerce company also draws heavily from Western values in a mix of East and West that Ma dubbed 'Hupan culture' after the apartment block in Hangzhou where he set up his business.
These core values, now named the 'Six Vein Spirit Sword' - customer first, teamwork, embrace change, integrity, passion and commitment - shaped Alibaba Group Holding, which began as an online bulletin board for companies in Ma's Hupan Huayuan apartment complex in eastern China.
Alibaba's aspirations helped it grow from just 18 employees to more than 20,000 today. Along the way, it knocked eBay Inc out of China and is now preparing for a U.S. stock listing that could be the biggest tech IPO to date.

Maha Bodhi Ta Htaung
So, we spent the morning in Monywa visiting Bodhi TahTaung (see Bodhi Tahtaung) and viewing the giant Standing Buddha statue (see Lakyun Setkyar Buddha). And then, Kyaw Thin Latt from WCS (see Growth Bands), who was leading the excursion and is a devout Buddhist, suggested that we visit the Maha Bodhi Ta Htaung monastery. This is where the Venerable Sayadaw U Narada was abbot when all the bodhi trees were planted and the giant statues were built. I thought this was a fantastic idea. Next thing I knew, we were in the bedroom of the deceased abbot sitting on the floor with the head monk flipping through photo albums of the statue construction and looking at pictures of all of the dignitaries (e.g. Senior General Than Shwe) that had visited. I still can't believe this happened (thx, Latt).

The fee of the rhinoplasty course of action will vary enormously from area to region, city to city and doctor to medical doctor black rhinoplasty. Equally as in almost any area, together with drugs, you'll find teams and folks that present lower price, functions for giant volume consumer bases on very low budgets and higher price tag operations to superstar professional medical personalities prepared to pay back astronomical prices. Right after accomplishing investigation beforehand and paying attention to revealed reports on cosmetic surgery, a single can easily discover the names of plastic surgeons while in the Southern California space, or any place, who've labored on famous stars. Having said that, regardless of what your spending budget and tactic, you can save dollars by exploring the subject, building an informed final decision and consulting with quite a few medical doctors or teams until eventually you find the a single who will make you really feel relaxed, and who's charging what you are ready to shell out to the treatment.
Only mentioned, without the need of honing in over a distinct locale or naming a particular health care provider, rhinoplasty prices should range between at least $3,000 to not more than $12,000. This is certainly the fee of employing the surgeon only – you will discover a range of other service fees concerned while in the method despite who performs the get the job done and in which it really is executed. The amount of work important can also be a predominant component within the ultimate price tag.
By making use of this straightforward cost investigation, dividing the full amount of cash put in on rhinoplasty cost about numerous several years compiled by the American Modern society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) and arriving at an average total expense, just about every rhinoplasty executed in the usa averages out to close to $4,500. That full appraisal consists of the surgeon, the anesthesiologist, the facility charge and any other prices that a certain doctor or team of doctors may possibly charge. In the event your estimate from a medical professional you have got consulted with is substantially reduced compared to normal, ensure to request inquiries and inquire to speak with previous purchasers. Locate out if this man contains a philanthropic approach to medicine. Find out if there have at any time been lawsuits filed versus him. Continue to keep inquiring until eventually you allow or until finally you really feel comfortable sufficient to continue even further from the partnership. Just like anything else in life – if it seems much too superior to get real, it always is.
In general, unless of course your rhinoplasty treatment is from the most nominal type, maybe a little bump or advancement being taken off or altered, you are likely to need to have to generally be asleep for the process and that necessitates the talent of a excellent anesthesiologist. Ordinarily, if you use your health care provider, you do not have a decision around the anesthesiologist – you merely make use of the one particular he is obtained on his employees or the just one that he is most at ease doing work with. On the whole, an anesthesiologist should really demand around $700 to help keep you properly asleep with the time necessary for that procedure. Make sure to tell all people you talk to in case you have any allergies to any medicines or should you be currently getting any medicines because they may perhaps unfavorably connect with the anesthesia.
Despite where by the health practitioner as well as anesthesiologist are going to carry out the surgical procedures, there will be considered a cost with the facility. This cost incorporates and nurses or other team essential for that treatment, tools and materials for use as well as facility's normal overhead. In case the perform need to be carried out within a hospital, there is destined to be a better demand involved compared to rate billed to get a easier workplace course of action. Ultimately, this cost will incorporate any expenses concerned within the expected restoration after the medical procedures. If a small method has actually been done plus a community anesthetic was administered the client may possibly be up, walking around, emotion fantastic and prepared to leave following a final assessment via the surgeon. Even so, should the get the job done was more advanced, if an anesthetic was important to continue to keep the affected individual asleep for several several hours, and when the suffering quotient is predicted being better because of to your nature of your issue staying resolved, it will be numerous extra several hours prior to the patient is examined and allowed to go away. These factors will have an impact on the ability charge and may be fully reviewed beforehand.
In a few scenarios, the health care provider might offer a deal cost. If this will make you unpleasant for just about any explanation or if the whole cost to the get the job done that you are requesting doesn't experience suitable, ask for the breakdown. If his breakdown will not conform with these averages, or if his explanations do absolutely nothing to allay your fears, get a next impression.

Biblical principles sneak up everywhere to me: usually it's literature, but today, it's contemporary psychology.
From Australian psychologist Lea Waters' talk on positive psychology.
There are various negative psychological states that characterise mental illness:
When psychologists try to help people in such states, should they focus on the burden or the blessing? (Dealing with the negative state or encouraging positive attitudes.) Waters' answer is BOTH.
Positive Psychology:
She calls these attitudes "an armour against life's challenges."
Excuse me while I mentally connect each one to a facet of Christianity: Hope in God's Plan, Trusting in God's Goodness (through anything), Expecting and Undergoing Trials and Tribulations, Giving Thanks to God, Persevering in Obedience and Resisting Sin, Compassion. And are we not told to put on the armour of God? The assurance that if God is for us, none can be against us – not even the dark forces of hell.
Furthermore, that question of whether we focus on the burden or the blessing, and the answer being, "both." When we recognise the burden of our complete depravity (sinfulness) AND the blessing of God's complete goodness and sacrifice for our sakes we are much closer to the untouchable armour that is the joy of grace accepted.
Modern psychology just corroborated the truth of the gospel and Christian living.
Her talk is here:

Working with Seam 2.1-SNAPSHOT and GWT 1.5M2 (with EJb3/jboss 4.2 backend).
To start off with a bang - JPA (hibernate) annotated beans are working!!! Yes, you can now use annotated entity beans as regular POJO's with Seam and GWT.
p.s. I really do *not* like the annotation approach and preferred the orm.xml deployment descriptor approach to keep the POJO truly clean and free from decoration with annotation behaviours -- but there are some problems with the hibernate orm.xml implementation that they 'lack resources' to correct, so whatever; use the actually supported annotation approach.
I unfortunately still not sure how to post code to blogger (need a full project, just sharing snippets is insufficient), but before you start jumping in too far here are the caveats:
- Long and Date fields do not work as of 5/1/2008. GWT changed the behaviour of Longs in Milestone 2 of GWT 1.5, and the Seam guys haven't modified to support this yet -- it is, afterall, still a milestone release of GWT. http://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBSEAM-2935
- Arrays do not work as of 5/1/2008. This confuses me - Seam 2.0.0.GA and GWT 1.4.60 arrays worked fine, not sure why this is now broken. http://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBSEAM-2933
- Lists (genericized) now do work, and can be used as an alternative to the broken array implementation.
- You can implement entitybean/pojo/DTO's that use the Long and Date fields, but when you RPC those fields you will get errors. You can test with your DTO and List
as long as you do not actually use Long and Date fields (leave them blank/null).
Someone reminded me about something I've taken for granted - no, I am not using JNDI lookups. This is direct, session bean with Seam annotation exposed directly with the Seam-GWT remoting implementation to the GWT client. No middle JSF layer or JNDI layer or tomcat/servlet layer -- GWT web talking to EJB3/Seam server.
Still working on a more full example, have fun till then!

Product no.: 15025Manufacturer: Celestron
too expensive?
add to cart
The Celestron Firstscope is an official product from the International Year of Astronomy 2009, and is ideal for a fun introduction to astronomy.
The Celestron Special Product for the International Year of Astronomy 2009:
In 1609, the Italian scientist Galileo Galilei first turned a telescope to the night sky and opened the door to exploring the wonders of the heavens. This fascination has continued to keep humanity under its spell for the last 400 years. UNESCO has declared this anniversary the 'International Year of Astronomy 2009'. Celestron can now offer you the official telescope for this occasion, the FirstScope 76, which is more than able to provide anyone with their first personal impression of the wonders of the universe!
A high-quality Newtonian telescope at an incredibly low price:
The Celestron FirstScope is a Newtonian reflecting telescope of Dobsonian design. A reflecting telescope collects the light from celestial objects via a combination of specially curved mirrors and guides it into an eyepiece, where it is then further magnified. The large 76mm diameter of the main mirror of the FirstScope enables enough light to be collected for even observing some of the fainter objects in the night sky, such as galaxies and gas nebulae. The focal length is the distance traversed by the light within the telescope's optical tube as it is reflected by the mirrors. Despite its compact design, the Celestron FirstScope 76 has an impressive 300mm focal length.
Get started right away with the included accessories
The FirstScope is equipped with two eyepieces of 20 and 4mm focal length, providing magnifications of 15X or 75X. The telescope's focuser accepts 1.25" eyepieces, which are standard in amateur astronomy. To determine the magnification power of eyepieces, you simply divide the focal length of the telescope by the focal length of the eyepiece concerned.
A mount for anyone to use
The Celestron FirstScope 76 has a stable Dobsonian table top mount with clutches on both axes, allowing easy and very accurate pointing of the telescope. With an incredibly affordable price, a two-year warranty and recognition as a worldwide 'official product' for the International Year of Astronomy, Celestron´s stylish and powerful FirstScope 76 is your key to successfully exploring the skies above us!
Star chart software is included for orientating yourself in the night sky
This is a special version of Celestron's Redshift 7 software - full feature planetarium software with activated printer option enabling the user to also put together and print out star charts with the help of the large number of stored astronomical objects. Note also the practical optional accessory pack for the FirstScope.
Celebrate with astronomy lovers all over the world and secure this unique souvenir:
If you look at the Celestron 76 FirstScope you will see that it was appointed as the 'Official Product' of the Year of Astronomy by the 'International Astronomical Union' committee. It is a wonderful decorative keepsake for everyone involved in astronomy.
As the name implies, the 'FirstScope' is ideal for anyone who would like to point a telescope at the night sky for the first time. It is extremely easy to observe with! Simply move the optical tube by hand in the direction of celestial object you would like to observe, so navigating the FirstScope across the sky. The detailed user manual helps everyone to quickly begin successful observing.
You can now immerse yourself in the fascinating universe
The telescope's ease of use should not hide the fact that you have acquired a powerful optical instrument with the FirstScope 76. The optics are of high quality and are mounted on a stable base making the telescope ideal for magnified observing of the Moon, planets and terrestrial objects. It can even show the brightest galaxies and gas clouds far out into the universe. The eyepieces included allow magnifications of 15X and 75X. Due to the low weight of less than 2kg, the Celestron FirstScope 76 is also an ideal companion when travelling. Whether you are camping in the wilderness or relaxing under the stars in your own garden - the FirstScope can always be near at hand as it is so easy to transport, erect and stow away. You can use the Celestron FirstScope for starting on a fascinating journey across the night sky with your family. The craters of the Moon, the rings of Saturn, the moons of Jupiter, the Andromeda Galaxy - the FirstScope can crisply and clearly show you all these remote objects.
The advantages in a nutshell:
With this telescope, you can have the basic equipment for taking your first steps in observing the night sky. We especially recommend the accessory package aimed at the FirstScope which, just with the additional eyepieces alone, creates much greater latitude in your exploration of the universe.
You can obtain further information at the website http://www.celestron.com/astronomy/celestron-firstscope-telescope.html of the manufacturer.
Note: The Celestron FirstScope is of course no substitute for the telescopes that we usually recommend as suitable for getting into astronomy, from around 200 Euros! But it is an innovative product and can be highly recommended at this low price! Perfect for the garden table on the terrace, for children and adults.
(Eric Benesch)
With its fast f5 focal ratio, this small telescope is particularly suitable for observing at low magnifications. Objects can be easily located with the 20mm eyepiece, whereas it is often difficult for beginners using longer focal length-instruments.
The Dobsonian mounted telescope is more compact and robust than other telescopes in this price range. However, this simple telescope is not suitable for planetary observing at higher magnifications. You will need to spend a little more money for this and purchase, for example, a 114/900 telescope:
114mm telescope

Dear fans of Hash It Out With Jane,
You may have noticed that over the past year, new episodes of this fun, naughty, and educational podcast have been few and far between. Lack of edgy topics to discuss and groovy people to interview are not to blame. I simply don't have the time anymore.
Through this podcast I have joyfully been promoting and supporting artists, educators, entrepreneurs, musicians, and other movers and shakers out there with and without disabilities, for the past four years. It has been a hugely rewarding labor of love.
Now, it's time for me to move on. I am retiring from podcasting. This is not something to be sad about. The reason I don't have time to podcast anymore is because of the abundance of exciting opportunities becoming available to me!
One of the reasons I started Hash It Out With Jane is because I believe people with disabilities need to create our own quality media, in every form, because Hollywood just never seems to get it right…or get 'us' right, I should say. While I am not at liberty to spill the beans on all my new undertakings at this time, my work will continue to support inclusive media and challenge societal norms.
The final episode of Hash It Out With Jane will post on Monday, June 9th. My beautiful and talented co-host is….Gaelynn Lea Tressler, winner of NPR's Tiny Desk Contest!
In closing, I want to give a big, wet, sloppy, heartfelt thank you to everyone who helped make this podcast a huge success. Go download all your favorite episodes now because I will not be renewing my Podomatic subscription, where they are hosted.
Love always,

Double Knitting Fun
Last fall I was lucky enough to take a double knitting class in person with Lucy Neatby. When I saw that she was teaching the Foundations of Double Knitting on Craftsy, I couldn't resist and treated myself to the class.
Three patterns are included with the class; a cell phone cozy, a larger bag with a pocket and a pair of socks. I decided to use a ball of my hand dyed wool for the cell phone cozy. It was a bit of a trick to get the skein wound without Luca getting tangled up in the wool. At one point he was swinging from the swift!
This bag is not knit in the round but back and forth with one colour. The trick is keeping the front and back layers separated into a tube and not to getting any of the sts connected which joins the two layers together.
This is a great project to start double knitting. It is small, usable and gives you practice working the stitches and fixing your mistakes. In my case I joined the layers together FIVE times and I am not new to double knitting. This was a good refresher project for me and a good reminder that you have to pay close attention to your stitches. The above picture is what your knitting should look like on the inside if things are going well - not joined :) I had just fixed a mistake that's why my needle is out of my work.
I decided to hand felt my little bag this morning. This was the first time that I have felted something without the washer or dryer. It only took about 10 mins and was super easy. I hung it outside to dry, added a button to it and used it tonight on my walk.

Lots On the Needles
I think I've gotten overly ambitious. Here are 6 skeins of yarn, patterns and started projects that are currently in my knitting bag and I am waiting for 2 more Lucy Neatby patterns to arrive at my lys. These were supposed to be my May projects. This is a classic case of thinking I knit faster than I actually do! I think a more accurate description of 3 lace weight shawls, a sweater, pair of mitts and a fair isle hat would be my summer projects.
In an attempt to make some progress I got together with some friends and we worked on the lace shawl that we are all knitting together.
This our progress so far. It has certainly been a project full of learning opportunities to say the least and we are just past the bottom edging. We're really hoping the body of this shawl knits up problem free to make up for the stree the edging caused!
I had to share this last picture with you. Luca has decided that my knitting bag is a great napping place. He has good taste. He is snuggled up to a skein of alpaca!

Happy weekend Knitters!
I have been enjoying the wonderful weather, gardening, visiting with friends and knitting. Weekends don't get much better than this.
This is a new skein of Rainbow Lopi, an alpaca/merino/bamboo blend that I got from Ziraldo Alpacas when Debbie was the guest demonstrator at our guild meeting on Wed night. I am hoping to cast on tonight for either a pair of mitts or a cowl. There is only 105 yds so I may have to get creative. I was wondering about knitting mitts and doing the cuffs in a different yarn. Any other ideas??

Patons Next Steps Eight Fair Isle Knitting - Third Finished Project!
For those of you who are new to this blog, let me catch you up on my year long knitting adventure. At the beginning of the year I had this great idea to knit my way through every pattern in this Patons pattern book.
The third knitting project from this book is finished! The sweater is called "My First Fair Isle Sweater". While this was not my first time knitting a fair isle sweater I loved knitting this pattern. The large needles and yarn and the easy to follow colour work pattern make it quick knit and an easy pattern for a beginner fair isle knitter.
Let's take a look at how this sweater came together.
4.5mm and 5.5mm circular needles
Patons Classic Wool Roving - Pumpkin, Aran, Yellow, Grey, Cloverleaf
This sweater is knit from the bottom up with the body knit in the round until you reach the armholes - no seams to worry about!
The sleeves are each knit seperately then joined to the body of the sweater to begin the fun part - the fair isle colour work!
Again, when knitting the colour work pattern you are working in the round and you are knitting from an easy to follow chart and you are only knitting with two colours in each round. One thing to note if you have had some experience knitting from charts on a flat piece of knitting where you read RS rows right to left and WS rows left to right, when you are knitting from a chart in the round you will always read each row of your chart from the right to left.
Knitting this sweater pattern introduces us to the technique of "stranding" our non working colour along the back of our work. As you are knitting along from the chart you want to keep in mind that you don't want to carry your non working colour any more than 5 sts across the back of your work to prevent excessively long "floats" that may catch as you are putting the sweater on and off. You also want to keep this stranded yarn loose to keep your knitting lying flat without any puckering. The picture below shows you the inside of the sweater. As you can see, our floats (the non working yarn) are short strands covering 3, 4 or 5 knit sts then it is "caught" by the working yarn to prevent those long floats. Example, we have just finished knitting with the yellow to knit a circle. Now our chart is telling us to knit 8 white sts. We will knit 4 white sts, pick up the yellow wool and loosley lay it across your working white yarn and continue knitting the next 4 white sts. Then pick up the yellow and begin the next circle.
and before you know it you have a finished sweater!
If reading this has you thinking you would like to give fair isle knitting a try but you don't want to jump right in with a sweater, take a look at the first two projects from the book. If anyone is interested in knitting the headband or the cowl and has questions or needs some help along the way leave me a comment or send me an email and I will be glad to help you!
Happy Fair Isle Knitting and a big thank you to my model!!

Three Days with Lucy Neatby!
At the beginning of May, one of our local yarn stores, The Wool Boutique hosted 3 days of knitting classes taught by the amazing Lucy Neatby!
The first day of class was a full day learning about short rows and the various techniques we can use to knit short rows, when and how to pick up those wrapped sts and ways short rows can be used in our knitting. Lots of great info.
The next morning was all about picking up stitches and knitting bands and buttonholes!
Would you think this would end up as a buttonhole?
It does! Lucy calls these Magic Buttonholes and they really are magic.
Then the afternoon was all about steeks and cutting your knitting. This is always a lot of fun and a little nerve wracking when you pick up those scissors to make that first cut!
The last day of classes was all about knitting toe up socks. This was the easiest way I have ever started a toe up sock. We did the toe in garter stitch but it can also be knit in stocking st.
This is the after thought heel in progress.
What an amazing three days! If you ever have a chance to go to one of Lucy's classes, GO! She has a great teaching style and so much knitting knowledge to share!

There was lots and lots of shopping available,
we were able to eat our lunch outside and enjoy the warm Spring weather and show off our morning purchases,
and this is the yarn that I came home with. It was a great way to spend a Saturday :)

Not-So-Elementary Bee Mystery
Detectives sift clues in the case of the missing insects
The disappearance of large numbers of U.S. honeybees is so odd that it's attracted Ian Lipkin. Since last fall, beekeepers in at least 35 states have reported colonies that shrank rapidly for no apparent reason. Adult bees just go missing, leaving behind young bees in need of tending. This colony-collapse disorder (CCD), as it's now called, has got bee researchers coast to coast stirred up and looking for causes and remedies.

Aid Forms in Mail, Board Says
The College Scholarship Service of the College Board, which this month distributed 15 million financial-aid forms to 40,000 high schools, colleges, and agencies, last week urged parents and students to fill out the application forms as quickly as possible.
The printing of student-aid forms was delayed more than two months because the federal government was late in issuing guidelines for the Pell Grant and National Direct Student Loan programs.
"We're afraid that because the forms were not there, people will think the money's not there," said Dan Hall, dean of admissions and financial aid at the University of Chicago and an official of the College Scholarship Service.
Mr. Hall said that more than $15 billion in public and private aid is available to help students attending college next September. About 50 percent of all students attending college receive financial aid, he said.
The news about proposed reductions in federal student aid has frightened many families, said George Hanford, president of The College Board, and the delayed distribution of forms has only added to their fears.
Officials of the organization added that every application completed is a strong "message to Congress" that Americans still demand full funding for student-aid programs.
The first round of budget negotiations for the fiscal year 1984 will begin in February after the President presents his budget proposals to the Congress.--sr

Wow, looks a bit like a Christmas wreath doesn't it? This is one of the jewels on the block Dec 7th at Christie's Magnificent Jewels auction.
Betsy Bloomingdale was the wife of Alfred Bloomingdale, a world traveler, socialite and philanthropist. She died last summer at the age of 93 years old.
This beautiful necklace she owned by Harry Winston is expected to go for $400,000-$600,000.
What an elegant woman, and what a fun name! Betsy. Short for Elizabeth? I don't believe I have ever met a Betsy in my lifetime.
What a dresser even in her later years!

Today, "War Wolf 2" has broken the new record of China's box office, is expected to reach the peak of 4 billion peak, but rave reviews, morale expansion of public opinion, it seems more and more tolerant of the transaction. Cheng Hao released microblogging yesterday said: saying that political is not correct, I think the war wolf 2 general ah, the action line is still far away, but it is really no plot.
Although this sentence expresses the voice of some people, but after all, with the whole environment of the wind direction, so a time vocal opposition, everyone has condemned this rub hot behavior, more users Yan: What is the Thunder? As an Internet veteran, I am afraid it is difficult to think of the Thunder actually in this way reproduced in the masses of vision.
But the most concerned about the Thunder is not the matter, recently, Tencent download tool QQ whirlwind announced the official stop operation, the specific service time as of September 6, 9 years of service time, Tencent finally abandoned this has been shaking download Service market star products, but also means that Thunder has become the last survivor.
The Internet industry has always been left to the king, but if only one alone, but not necessarily a good thing, because there will be a prerequisite for this situation, either the formation of a complete monopoly market, or become a sunset industry, Legal sanctions are difficult to occur, the latter is the inevitable result of the times change.
"The deceased," but the Thunder who was vested in the interests of those who may not be better, boil all the competitors, dominate the country, and ultimately found the market has long been the river, this mood must have some taste with chewing wax.
More critical is that the demand for download services is gradually reduced, the last wall of the Thunder will not fall, when the fall is a problem, especially the download business of the Thunder, will fall into what situation?
Laugh the last may not be able to win, it may be a lose-lose
Fengyun fourteen, Thunder's competitors have never been less, and now only lonely, somewhat lonely.
2002 self-styled for the Internet returnees the third generation of Zou Shenglong and Cheng Hao, co-founded in Shenzhen, the three generations of limited technology development company, which is the predecessor of the Thunder.
But the company will be the direction of the business as a download service, the Thunder has been late for 5 years, when Hou Yantang's Internet Express has occupied 80% of the market share.
Fortunately, Zou Shenglong and Cheng Hao on the advantages of positioning the product more clearly, coupled with Hou Yantang addicted to the game, no time to update the Internet Express this embarrassing reason, Thunder clinging after the thigh in 2006 ushered in the rapid development of the new era.
But fortune and fortune, followed by the unpredictable anti-Thunder alliance, in the Huajun and Zhang He led by the leader, the emergence of many potential enemies.
This matter through the settlement after the settlement, the Thunder to achieve the latecomers, but eventually ushered in a real rival, that is, Tencent single-handedly support the QQ whirlwind.
2008 on-line, the cyclone download with minimalist style of the page to grab a lot of Thunder users, and offline download service, cloud playback and lower service fees make QQ whirlwind more attractive, especially with Tencent this Tree of help, as if a pair of "mine" and rally.
From the year the network of ants, express and other products have been praised hegemony, alternating the situation of the situation, the Internet early download service market is indeed called "blossom" and the Thunder with excellent strength to the last, is already lucky The
Moreover, QQ whirlwind of the biggest adversary farewell, in fact, also brought real benefits to the Thunder.
On the one hand, QQ cyclone users will be the majority of the influx of Thunder in the final camp, the number of members for the reduction in the number of Thunder, this is undoubtedly the biggest cheap, but also to reduce the corresponding decline in the speed of the Thunder download business for the company transition For a little time.
On the other hand, the market demand for download services is not reduced, but that does not mean that the industry will be completely gone, a dominance is much better than dividing the market.
Of course, can not be ignored as the industry's last survivors of the situation and sadness.
One, Thunder alone against a backward industry decline, it is inevitable powerless.
Download service is a special product in the popularization process of the Internet, corresponding to the specific situation of network instability and resource dispersion at that time. However, the progress of the times has already shaken the existence of the download tool.
Including video sites, clients, cloud and browser download plug-ins, including products, while meeting the resources and download the user needs, Thunder this special download tool function will weaken accordingly.
Two, Thunder download their own problems make the user experience poor, exacerbated the loss of members and downloads.
To the latest Thunder 9, for example, this set of browser, download, advertising in a product, although the interface is more concise, but open the right side of the browser window will be forced to play the Thunder video platform information, advertising, this Experience with the user simply download the tool very different needs, is undoubtedly in the self-destruction products.
Lenovo struggling to climb the PC industry boss position, but in the impact of the mobile Internet, had to embark on the revival of the road, and the End of the World community as a BBS last line of defense, has become synonymous with backward products, Thunder is also This part of the decline, the status of the industry to destroy the value of the last resort to support the download tool precarious.
Thunder download this wall, the collapse may be only a matter of time
From the rise of the video site, offline download demand has been weakened until the mobile Internet era, the industry was suffering from the disaster, only a hard support of the Thunder. In other words, once the Thunder off the download service, it means that purely download tools completely out of the Internet arena, annihilation in the trend of replacement. Will this scene be a reality?
In this issue, in fact, should not only look at QQ whirlwind outage early warning, after all, under the Tencent, by the marginalization of products to be cut off, fancy is the overall interests.
Thunder different, to download business fortune, long-term dominate the company's dominant position, according to common sense, Thunder is not a last resort should not come to this step. Moreover, the disappearance of the largest competitors, to a certain extent make up for the market demand to reduce the gap, a dominant advantage to be apparent.
However, in addition to the inherent power of user needs, Thunder's own internal problems and the industry background may be more critical factors.
According to the recent earnings report shows that the number of members to reduce the decline in revenue has become a clear trend. In the fourth quarter of 2016, Thunderline member business income was $ 21.7 million, an increase of 9.5%, down 8.2% qoq, mainly due to the decline in the number of members. As of December 31, 2016, the number of members was 4.97 million, the previous quarter was 5.14 million, the same period in 2015 to 5.02 million.
This is the status quo to the first quarter of this year even more, it is learned that membership income of 20.8 million US dollars, down 6.0%, down 4.2%, and as of March 31, 2017, the number of members of 4.08 million, the previous quarter of 4.18 million People, the same period last year to 449 million people. This shows that the Thunder's main business has reached a serious decline in the point, and the company's annual loss is even more doubt whether to support the continuation of the download service.
On the one hand, the net loss from continuing operations in 2016 was $ 24 million, with a net loss of $ 2.4 million in 2015. By the first quarter of this year, the net loss was $ 6.715 million, compared with $ 5.534 million for the same period last year.
On the other hand, as of December 31, 2016, cash held cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $ 381.5 million, compared with $ 432.1 million at the end of 2015, to $ 379 million as of March 31, , Is one of the few companies that have exceeded the valuation of cash flow.
All in all, the Thunder core business is damaged, but also spend a lot of money to seek transformation, which may mean that its own has been in the download service marginalization.
The gradual reduction in the business needs of the download service is, to a large extent, influenced by industry trends driven by technology-driven and product changes, but at a higher perspective, it is also a microcosm of the decline in tool products.
At the beginning of the Internet, to meet the rigid needs of the market, has been the birth of an early number of tools and applications, after years of accumulation, they hold tens of millions of users, and the user's activity, retention rates are high quality, A member.
However, from the user value into the commercial interests of the economic laws, it is clearly not applicable to these most fit "run out of the standard tool products, bear the high cost of the same time always difficult to find ways to achieve, but also because of the lack of advertising Based and make this most realistic model has been counterbalanced.
In general, the PC era has appeared in the "tool will die" rumors of the atmosphere, and now the download service is also facing this long-term product dilemma.
Thus, the disappearance of the Thunder download may be just a matter of time.
If you lose the download business, how to survive the Thunder?
In fact, few people care about the fall of life, commercial replacement is even more so, for the already marginalized products or companies, perhaps only love can be Talk, Thunder is also true
But in addition to the macro point of view of a company in the ups and downs of the ups and downs of the Internet that can not be ignored is the role of the enterprise itself in the play, like tool products to seek a platform or community transformation, both survival and exploration, but also the courage to explore. In this point, the Thunder is undoubtedly the reaction of half a beat, a number of business extension is not homeopathic, is about raid, the lack of direction.
2006 and 2007, Thunder has launched a dog search and Thunder to see, both in the past for a long time to become the most important core business. Followed by web games, mobile phone software, security assistants, game acceleration and other fields, Thunder also have to cover, but also including game acceleration, cloud storage, online video playback and other cloud technology.
Standing at the time point of view, these products as an extension of the download service products, in fact, there is no mistake at all, especially the Thunder derived member system, to a large extent support the company's profit source.
But on the one hand, we see the Thunder of these projects are basically only in the beginning of the smash hit, in the end are basically bleak end, even like Thunderbolt these products also infringed the user's basic privacy, which once again illustrates the Thunder from a Tools into the platform of the hardship.
On the other hand, the spirit of the Thunder launched a new product at the same time, but missed the best time to influence the future development, as Cheng Hao said, Thunder has faced three opportunities are browser, streaming media, mobile phone applications Store, which is the most parody is the mobile application store, because the Thunder on the phone should be born to the application store.
Have to say, download the service to lose the market may be the trend, but the Thunder veterans have had a lot of opportunities, the company out of the tool positioning, but the reality is not as people wish, recovering Zou Shenglong significant responsibility.
But now Chen Lei command, right transfer, for the Thunder will re-set swoop, cast another situation, the outside world has a new look. In particular, its single-handedly cultivated star domain CDN, is gradually becoming the starting point of the transformation of the Thunder and the new forces of business, which may mean to give up the download business Thunder, there are new options.
Thunder's first quarter results show that Internet value-added revenue (including cloud computing) for 15 million US dollars, an increase of 20.6%, growth of 14.0%, of which cloud computing revenue grew 86.5%, growth of 36.3%. And from the business point of view, cloud computing for seven consecutive quarters of high-speed growth, is to promote the total revenue to maintain five consecutive quarters of the main driving force for continuous growth.
To last year's live outlet, for example, as from the Thunder out of the technology companies, star domain CDN has both Thunder in the cloud computing accumulation, can also be directly for the Thunder in the C-end countless users, so that the distribution node has hundreds of millions of choice The
Thus, in access to millet, love and other first-class top-level customers, the star domain CDN has gradually harvested the panda live, street, tentacle TV, bilibili, big friends VR, flag and many other live business customers.
Of course, in the field of CDN, the Thunder can only be considered a rising star, net places, blue floods and other traditional enterprises will inevitably become difficult to cross the obstacles, but the traditional business decline in the case, perhaps this is the only life-saving straw.
Internet in China over the years through the ups and downs, Thunder can be regarded as a rare witness, and for a technology-based company, most people are happy to see the Thunder back to the technical positioning, rather than a blind Follow the trend.

Friday July 17th, 2009 saw the ground breaking for the long anticipated Bornean Sun Bear Conservation Centre (BSBCC), which will be adjacent to the famous Sepilok Orangutan Centre, 14 miles outside of Sandakan, Sabah. The event marked the commencement of construction of the first phase of BSBCC, which aims to provide rehabilitation and care for captive Sun Bears, and will be the first of its kind in Sabah.
The ceremony itself was as innovative as the concept of BSBCC promises to be. After two heartfelt speeches from YB Datuk Masidi Manjun and Cynthia Ong, four Bobohizans (traditional Kadazan Dusun healers/high priestesses) entered the center of a human circle to perform a ritual for the spirits to cleanse the area of past activities and prepare it for new life, protection and hope for the Sun Bears and the Centre.

Breaking the Story: The Fight for and Transformative Power of Hard Truths
At a time of skepticism about the news media, Farrow has become one of the world's most prominent investigative reporters. In an affecting, uncensored talk, he pulls back the curtain on the old-school, scrappy detective work that allowed him to break some of the biggest stories in recent memory, the obstacles that have forced him and other journalists to put everything on the line to fight for the truth, and the seismic cultural impact of his stories.
The Sexual Abuse Reckoning
Farrow has been one of the foremost reporters documenting the culture of silence and impunity around sexual misconduct, in Hollywood and beyond. As industry after industry attempts to confront long-unexamined demons in this area, Farrow offers a blueprint of the "dos" and "don'ts" of efforts to create accountability, and discusses the poignant personal stories of abuse, in his family and beyond, that led him to report so passionately on the topic.
The Power of the Next Generation
As a youth activist The New York Times once called "the youngest old guy in the room," Ronan Farrow has years of experience bridging the divide between old school institutions – from the US government to major corporations – and a restless generation empowered by rapidly changing technology. Using examples and moving personal stories drawn from around the world, Farrow takes an affecting, rebellious look at the challenges of connecting with the next generation.
Building the Modern Humanitarian and Global Citizen
Too many organizations adopt splashy causes and fail to affect meaningful change – and too many people are left disillusioned and skeptical of their ability to make a difference. Ronan Farrow has witnessed the worst and the best of humanitarian and development efforts. He looks at how to confront the uncertainty and presents powerful illustrations of organizations and individuals revitalizing themselves as global citizens who are willing to take action on the world's greatest challenges.
Ronan Farrow in the news
Winner of the 2018 Pulitzer Prize for Public Service, the 2018 George Polk Award, and named one of TIME"s "100 Most Influential People of 2018," Ronan Farrow's views are in high demand in the media. Follow his latest appearances here.

Investigative reporter RONAN FARROW was both awarded the 2018 Pulitzer Prize for Public Service and named to TIME's "100 Most Influential People of 2018" for his culture-shifting reporting for The New Yorker on Harvey Weinstein, sexual harassment, and abuse of power. Awarded along with Megan Twohey and Jodi Kantor of The New York Times, the Pulitzer Prize committee recognized Farrow's, "explosive, impactful journalism... spurring a worldwide reckoning about sexual abuse of women," and as the TIME tribute cited, "Their hard work and impeccable journalism have changed attitudes, behavior, conversations, norms, laws and policies, yielding enormous personal and public good." Beyond his grounbreaking work with The New Yorker, Farrow has also signed an exclusive three-year deal with HBOto develop and be featured in a series of investigative documentary specials, and just released a book War on Peace, which is a harrowing exploration of the collapse of American diplomacy. The book was an instant Amazon and New York Times #1 Bestseller, and Farrow has been making headlines in virtually every major outlet as he's been sought-out for interviews by The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, ABC's Good Morning America, CBS' This Morning, TIME, The New Yorker, SLATE, NPR, Preet Bharara's podcast and more, shedding light on everything from Tillerson's short-lived tenure as Secretary of State to lessons on investigative journalism. He has taken his powerful message to audiences nationwide, delivering compelling speeches at Colgate Univerisrty, Globoforce's WorkHuman 2018, Gonzaga University, and more. His recent commencement address at Loyola Marymount University made headlines in The Washington Post, Forbes, TIME, Fast Company, and more, thanks to his inspiring message on rising up and trusting your inner voice.
Ronan Farrow wins the Pulitzer Prize for Public Service
Investigative reporter RONAN FARROW was awarded the 2018 Pulitzer Prize for Public Service for his culture-shifting reporting for The New Yorker on Harvey Weinstein, sexual harassment, and abuse of power. Awarded along with Megan Twohey and Jodi Kantor of The New York Times, the Pulitzer Prize committee recognized the journalists', "explosive, impactful journalism that exposed powerful and wealthy sexual predators, including allegations against one of Hollywood's most influential producers, bringing them to account for long-suppressed allegations of coercion, brutality and victim silencing, thus spurring a worldwide reckoning about sexual abuse of women." Farrow's first article for The New Yorker, a seven-thousand-word investigation, shared the stories of multiple women who were assaulted by the film executive and served as a lightning rod for the important conversation surrounding workplace harassment and abuse of power. Farrow's initial article was followed up with several subsequent New Yorker pieces, and Farrow has spoken up and shed light on the sobering details surrounding his investigations on NPR, Rachel Maddow, ABC This Week, and more, providing powerful commentary on his reporting and its implications. He has taken his powerful message to audiences nationwide, discussing the standards of journalism and impact and future of the Me Too movement at Globoforce's WorkHuman 2018, Youngstown State University, Gonzaga University, and Colgate, inspiring tweets of praise such as: "Great to listen to @RonanFarrow at the #LibertyAward. Stunning keynote!"; "Re-inspired to make the world a better place by keynote @RonanFarrow"; "Keynote @LibertyAward by the great and courageous journalist and fighter for the freedom of press @RonanFarrow." Dedicated to sharing the stories of those who are often silenced, Farrow also just signed an exclusive three-year deal with HBO to develop an investigative docu-series.
Up Close and Personal with Ronan Farrow
An influential journalist and an award-winning voice of the Millennial generation RONAN FARROW dropped by HWA recently and we met the man behind the spotlight. Ronan shared personal stories from his life and career - from lessons learned in a multi-cultural/multi-race family of 14 to having a first-hand and very personal understanding of the disenfranchised, to the people and experiences that shaped his spirit for public service - our team was engaged and inspired by all that he shared.Watch Ronan's HWA Chat >>
Ronan Farrow breaks major story in The New Yorker
After a 10-month investigation, award-winning journalist RONAN FARROW broke a major story in The New Yorker: "From Aggressive Overtures to Sexual Assault: Harvey Weinstein's Accusers Tell Their Stories." An in-depth piece that shares the stories of multiple women who were assaulted by the film executive, The New Yorker piece is a lightning rod for the important conversation surrounding workplace harassment and abuse of power. Farrow's initial article was followed up with two other crucial New Yorker pieces, "Harvey Weinstein's Army of Spies" and "Harvey Weinstein's Secret Settlements," chronicling the media mogul's efforts to suppress allegations of harassment and assault. Farrow has shed light on the sobering details surrounding the Weinstein story in interviews on NPR, Rachel Maddow and ABC This Week, providing powerful commentary on his reporting and its implications and covering topics as crucial and varied as abuse of power, ongoing allegations of sexual harassment across the country, the standards of journalism, and more.Watch Ronan Farrow on Rachel Maddow >>
Ronan Farrow shines a spotlight on #Undercovered stories
As an NBC News investigative correspondent, RONAN FARROW dives into the world's most compelling, under-reported stories as the founder and front man of the Today Show's "Undercovered." A fascinating series that combines traditional journalism with innovative crowd-sourced story selection, Ronan takes suggestions from viewers who have a story they think needs more coverage and dives in with true investigative-style reporting. Having shed light on everything from new approaches to battling heroin addiction, to the dark side of the movie industry and toxic chemicals found in California's water supply, Farrow has an uncanny ability to capture the heart of a story, drawing out the personalities, facts and impacts of issues that go largely unnoticed in mainstream news. With a clear and engaging reporting style, Farrow's messages speak to a wide audience. As one viewer recently tweeted: "@RonanFarrow when I expect 100% , you give me 200%. Great report!"Watch Ronan Farrow's latest Undercovered segment >>
Ronan Farrow is an influential voice in government and media, helping traditional institutions address the frustrations – and tap the promise – of a new generation. Forbes Magazine has twice named him one of the "30 Under 30" most influential people in law and policy, a contest he has gone on to judge. Last month he won the world's most prestigious journalist award, the Pulitzer Prize, for his reporting on sexual harassment by Harvey Weinstein. In April he published a new book, War on Peace: The End of Diplomacy and the Decline of American Influence, which gives a unique insight into US foreign policy, and what many describe as US resignation in global leadership. In this book, Farrow interviews all of America's former living secretary of state.
Farrow served as a State Department diplomat in Afghanistan and Pakistan, and reported to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton as the United States' first special adviser for global youth during the Arab Spring revolutions. Farrow is a Yale Law School educated attorney and a member of the New York Bar, and attended Oxford University as a Rhodes Scholar.

I was hoping for a beacon of light in a dark place from Manchester Press. A bagel oasis in an otherwise bagel desert of this lost continent. We rocked up, on the brink of slightly hungover starvation, around 2:05 on a rainy Saturday afternoon, and maybe that was a mistake. We were confronted with a harsh reality: a line for bagels that actually rivals that on a Saturday morning at Bagel Boss.
We got seats at the bar after waiting about 25 minutes in the rain outside and decided on the reuben on sesame and the B.L.A.T. on poppy. Tracking down a server was another task, though. Harder than choosing from some delicious sounding sandwich options. We managed to flag one down, and although he looked a bit bewildered, it seemed like we were in business.
Until the bagels showed up with the wrong seeds per sandwich. :(
No worries really, because we planned to share each one. What killed me most in Manchester Press was watching so many weirdos use forks and knives to eat their bagels. Seriously weird. I cannot bring myself to use a fork and knife on a bagel, unless it's halved and hiding under an eggs benedict situation with gooey yolk and delicious hollandaise... I'm daydreaming off subject.
We chopped these bad boys in half and got to it. The reuben was a delicious mess of creamy thousand island, swiss, sauerkraut, tomato (why?) and two thick slices of pastrami. I mean, I'm definitely biased towards NYC pastrami, and this wasn't that. But was it a good sandwich? Yes.
I love how Aussies have turned B.L.T.s into B.L.A.T.s. It makes for a weird sounding acronym if you sound it out, but the addition of avocado it just what a bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich needs to turn up the "I'm full" factor. This one was tasty and definitely enhanced by the addition of a cranberry, plum and chili relish. That was a nice touch.
The bagels themselves were OK actually. They weren't the best, but I've certainly had worse, even in the States. They weren't Bagel Boss or H+H, but they weren't Dunkin' Donuts either. The sesame even had just a bit of a crunch to the crust, which was unexpected and enjoyable. Did I ever tell you about the time I left a shoe (one shoe, black creeper style with leopard accents) at H+H on the UES and they put it in a brown bag and saved it for me until I could get a friend to bizarrely go and retrieve it? Yeah, that happened.
We both enjoyed our sandwiches and coffees ($33 k? That's what we're dealing with here. Two slices of pastrami on that sandwich for $13 or something. And that's reasonable for Melbourne.) and I guess I'd say Manchester Press lived up to its hype. I wouldn't want to wait 25 minutes in the rain again for it, though. Maybe if it was sunny and warm out I'd wait again. Maybe.
Manchester Press: 8 Rankins Lane, Melbourne, Vic. 3000. (03) 9600 4054


text: Newman plays the Reiger Organ in the Recital Hall of The Department Of Music at The State University Of New York at Purchase. The recording is very good for its time and still stands up to more recent recordings. On a few tracks you can hear the idiosyncracies of this particular organ but they don't detract from this recording, they only make it interesting. The only real drawbacks to this recording would probably be for fans of extensive liner notes, because for one thing, does not discuss any of the chorales as he does the other pieces on this disc, the notes are only three panels long, and not only are BWV numbers not listed on the chorales (hence why I didn't/couldn't list them here), but the numbers on the recording are misidentified as S.### works by either Newman or the record company. Still, since this was the first Bach organ album I ever obtained (in 1989), it's still worth it for the music.

I had something similar to this for the first time when visiting friends in Cape Town. They were made using pre-cooked frozen mussels in the half shell, which cuts down on the preparation a little. This version is made with fresh live mussels.
the mussels in their half shells on the grill tray, and using a teaspoon, dress each one first with a bit of the melted garlic butter and then with a sprinkling of grated parmesan.
I hand selected two dozen large mussels from my favourite fish monger at the covered market in Oxford (Haymans Fisheries) during my lunch break. As an appetizer, allow about 6 large mussels per person.
Simply put the mussels in a pot with a lid with about 50ml of boiling water for 5 mins or so, or until all the mussels have opened. Allow them to cool enough to be able to be handled.
To prepare the garlic butter, put 2 or 3 large cloves of crushed garlic in a small bowl with about 50g of butter in the microwave for about 30 seconds or until the butter has just melted. Grate about 50g of fresh parmesan cheese.
Pre-heat the grill, then remove half of the shell from each mussel and using a small knife, detach the cooked mussel from the remaining half of the shell. Lay
Place them under the hot grill for no more than 3 or 4 minutes before transferring them to a serving dish and passing them around to your guests. Guaranteed to make you hungrier.

Bury Council's changes to bin collection : UPDATE
I would like to thank those people that have contacted me with their concerns about the Council's proposed changes to the grey bin collection.
Some of the feedback I have received so far includes:-
* some people do not have the full complement of recycling bins so as it stands they will not be able to put recyclable waste that is currently going into the grey bin into an alternative;
* there are concerns that by reducing the grey bin collection this will increase rates of fly tipping;
* those with larger families will be adversely affected, and those with young children who are still using nappies will not be able to cope with a three weekly grey bin collection;
* in some areas there are already existing issues with vermin and there is a feeling that the change will only make the situation worse;
* people who recycle already do not believe they will be able to recycle any further as their recycling bins are full;
* some people have commented that they will be able to cope with the change as they have capacity in their grey bin and the increased collection rates of the blue and green bins (from 4 to 3 weeks) will assist;
I think it is important to acknowledge that we have many different types of households in Bury all of which will have different issues. For example we have 25,000 single households and another 25,000 households with only two occupants. Obviously the change will not affect these households as much as people with larger families, very young children or those who live in flats that share communal bins.
There are approximately two and half months before the changes take place on 6 October 2014.
I want to get as many views as I can from members of the public in relation to how they think the changes can be implemented effectively, taking into account the issues that have been raised with me.
I will be monitoring the situation closely and holding the Council to account for ensuring the new system is implemented in a way which is sensitive to the needs of households and has minimum impact on the community.
