The only shopping I enjoy more than thrifting is shopping at local craft markets. It just so happens my favourite market was this weekend! I bought the cutest print, I can't help myself, I love good wall art. The only issue is that now I need a frame. No frame? No problem! In comes my trusty thrift store to save the day. I waltzed in and found the perfect one right off the bat. All I had to do was see past the ugly picture that was in it. I wish I had taken a before photo, but just imagine something unoriginal and generic glued to foam board.
A little muscle and $10 later my print has a home. Now all I have to do is find wall space to hang it.
While on my way to the frame section I quickly scanned the jewellery case. I found the cutest JCrew double necklace. Did I need it? Heck no, but it was $8.00 so instead of standing around having a mental debate I just bought it.

Leading Polished Casual Fondue Restaurant Opens Third Restaurant in Mexico City Located in Pedregal
The Melting Pot Restaurants, Inc., the world's premier fondue restaurant and a leading polished casual dining franchise, announced today that it is actively seeking qualified area developers to expand its brand footprint in Mexico. The Tampa, Fla.-based company's plans for expansion come on the heels of the opening of The Melting Pot's third restaurant in Mexico City in late August, located in Pedregral at Avenida de las Fuentes 425.
As part of its international expansion plans, The Melting Pot aims to develop at least five additional locations in Mexico and is targeting cities such as Mexico City, Guadalajara, Puebla, Monterrey, Cancun and Los Cabos for future growth. In addition to Pedregal, the company operates two restaurants in Mexico City, which opened in Satelite and Interlomas in 2011 and 2012, respectively.
"The Melting Pot has experienced great success in Mexico and now is the first time in the last five years that we have offered development opportunities in the country," said Dan Stone, chief business and people development officer for Front Burner Brands. "We want to continue to build on the momentum we've experienced and look forward to partnering with qualified area developers who can help us expand our brand presence within Mexico City as well as other key growth markets throughout the country."
The Melting Pot operates more than 125 restaurants across 35 U.S. states, Canada, Mexico, Southeast Asia, and the United Arab Emirates, and has more than 15 locations in development internationally. The concept is known for offering an assortment of flavorful fondue cooking styles and a variety of unique entrées served with signature dipping sauces. The menu features a variety of à la carte selections, highlighting customizable options that invite guests to enjoy one, two, three or more courses as they select any combination of individually-priced cheese fondues, salads, entrées and chocolate fondues.
In addition to Mexico, the top fondue franchise is focused on expanding its international footprint in select markets across Brazil, Canada, China, India, Japan and South Korea. Earlier this year, The Melting Pot announced the opening of its first restaurant in Jakarta, Indonesia and most recently its first Middle Eastern location in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The company also plans to open its first restaurant in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia before the end of 2015.
The Melting Pot was recently ranked No. 1 among 40 casual-dining restaurant chains in Nation's Restaurant News' 2015 Consumer Picks report, up from No. 6 out of 38 concepts last year. The Melting Pot ranked first in four out of 10 overall attribute categories, achieving top scores in cleanliness, service, atmosphere and craveability.
To further fuel its global development plans, the company is actively seeking qualified franchisees and will host a franchising webinar on Thursday, Oct. 15 at 10 a.m. (CDT).

To learn more about ownership opportunities with The Melting Pot, contact Dan Stone, chief business and people development officer for The Melting Pot, at 800-783-0867 ext. 108.
The Melting Pot is seeking area developers with restaurant or hospitality experience who can commit to a minimum development agreement of three or more restaurants. Franchisee candidates or groups should have access to a minimum of $3 million USD in capital. At least one of the franchise owners must be fluent in English. Depending on the real estate site selected, franchisees of The Melting Pot in the United States can expect the total investment for one restaurant to be approximately $959,000 to $1,436,000 USD. The initial franchise fee is $50,000 USD per unit and there is a one-time training fee of $50,000 USD.

Council Tax Reduction Changes 1 April 2016
From 1 April 2016 all working age households will be required to pay a minimum of 20% towards their Council Tax.
Changes to Council Tax Reduction effective from 1 April 2016
From 1 April 2016, there will be two changes to how the Council calculate your Council Tax Reduction.
A new Working Age Council Tax Reduction Scheme will come into effect requiring all working age households, including those currently in receipt of; job seekers allowance, income support and employment and support allowance to pay a minimum of 20% towards their Council Tax.
Council Tax Reductions for Self Employed applicants will be calculated using the UK minimum wage as a Minimum Income Floor (MIF) when calculating any entitlement. This means, for any self-employed person applying for council tax reduction the council will assume a Gross Weekly Income of at least the minimum wage multiplied by 35 hours.
Why are we doing this?
From 1 April 2013, Council Tax Benefit was abolished and every Council had to replace it with a local Council Tax Reduction scheme. At this time Central Government, who previously funded Council Tax Benefit in full also reduced the funding available for local Council Tax Reduction schemes leaving Local Authorities having to fund the shortfall.
The Council Tax Reduction scheme introduced was agreed by all authorities in East Sussex and since then we have continued to work together on this county-wide scheme. Due to continued cuts in Government funding and a need to strike an appropriate balance between protecting those on low incomes and still maintaining essential services it has been decided that from 1 April 2016 less support will be provided by the scheme. These changes were approved at Full Council on 14 December 2015
How much will I have to pay?
We have provided calculations below to give you an idea of how much 20% of your Council Tax bill could be, based on the average Council Tax rate for the district. However if you are also affected by the changes to how Self-employed income is treated then the amount you will pay is likely to be more. Unfortunately we are unable to give you an idea as how much extra you will be required to pay at this time as your personal circumstances effect this part of the calculation.

17. What is the Exceptional Hardship fund?
Council Tax is a local tax on domestic properties which the Council set based on a property's valuation band. Each home is placed in one of eight valuation bands based on its value at 1st April 1991 or equivalent value for properties constructed after this date.
The Council is responsible for collecting Council Tax and this money helps fund local services, provided by Rother District Council, East Sussex County Council, Sussex Police and Crime Commissioner and East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service.
For more information on Council Tax, please see our Council Tax page.
2. Who has to pay Council Tax?
Council Tax is usually paid by the occupier(s) of a property. The full tax assumes that there are at least two adults living in the property. If there is only one occupant, they are eligible for a single person discount of 25%. Council tax is also paid by the property owner where the property is unoccupied.
3. What is Council Tax Reduction?
Council Tax Reduction helps people who have a low income pay their Council Tax. It replaced Council Tax Benefit with effect from 1 April 2013.
4. Why was Council Tax Benefit replaced by Council Tax Reduction?
From 1 April 2013 Council Tax Benefit was abolished and every Council had to replace it with a new local Council Tax Reduction Scheme for working age residents. Support for Pensioners is maintained by national rules
Central Government previously funded Council Tax Benefit in full but from April 2013, the Government has reduced the funding available for local Council Tax Reduction schemes. This funding does not increase, even if more people claim or the Council Tax charge increases.
5. 'Working age household': What do you mean by this?
For the purpose of the Council Tax Reduction Scheme, Working age is anybody who has not reached the qualifying age for state Pension Credit
6. Why do these changes not affect pensioners?
The Government have stated that low‐income pensioners who receive support with
Council Tax cannot be expected to increase their income through paid work. Therefore support for Pensioners is maintained by national rules set by parliament.
7. Who decided Rother's 2016-17 working age scheme?
Rother District Council consulted with its residents from 27 July 2015, through to Wednesday 23 September 2015. The consultation was accessible on the Council's website.
Invitations to take part in the consultation were also sent to more than 20,000 Rother District residents through 'My Alerts' emails, the Rother Citizens Panel membership plus direct contact was made with local voluntary advice organisations. Based on the results of the Consultation Rother Districts Full Council approved the scheme for 2016/17 on 14 December 2015.
8. I've never paid Council Tax before. Is there an easy way to make payments?
The Council's preferred method of payment is by direct debit. You can pay on either the 8th, 17th or 25th of the month and payment may be over 10 or 12 months. Direct debit is the simplest way to pay, as once you've set it up, there's no need to remember your payments each month. You can also set up a direct debit if you have a basic bank account. A direct debit instruction will be included with your Council Tax bill.
9. Are there other ways of paying Council Tax?
Your Council Tax bill lists all the ways you can pay but none are as easy as Direct Debit. Alternative methods of payment can also be found on our Methods of Payment page.
10. I'm on benefits and I can't afford to pay anything. How will I manage?
We strongly advise anyone with financial problems to contact Rother District Citizens Advice Bureau (CAB) who can provide guidance and support to help you manage your money.
The CAB offices are located at Bank Chambers, Buckhurst Road, Bexhill on Sea, East Sussex TN40 1QF. They can be contacted by phone on 01424 215055 or 01424 734549. Details on the advice provided by Rother District CAB can also be found on their website at www.citizensadvice1066.co.uk.
12. What happens if I don't pay my Council Tax ?
It is important that you contact the Council as soon as possible if you are experiencing problems in paying your Council Tax.
In the interests of all Council Taxpayers, the Council has to take recovery action if payments are not received by the due dates. This action will result in the cancellation of the instalment facility and lead to legal action for the recovery of the total amount outstanding.
If such action is necessary then this will result in additional costs of £100.00 relating to the issuing of a Court Summons and obtaining a Liability Order. If the Council is granted a Liability Order by the Magistrates then the Council may seek to recover the outstanding debt from you by an attachment to your earnings or benefits or your case may be passed to an enforcement agent (previously called a bailiff) who may take control of your goods to secure payment of the debt. If your case is passed to an enforcement agent then an additional fee of £75.00 will become due immediately to them and if the enforcement agent should have to visit you then a further fee of at least £235.00 will be payable.
13. What is the Minimum Income Floor (MIF) and how will it affect my Council Tax Reduction?
Rother's local working age Council Tax Reduction Scheme includes a Minimum Income Floor (MIF) if you are self-employed and your business has been running for more than 12 months.
The Minimum Income Floor is an assumed level of earnings and is based on the minimum amount that we would expect an employed person to receive in similar circumstances.
It is calculated using the National Minimum Wage for your age group, multiplied by 35 hours. It also includes a notional deduction for tax and national insurance.
If your self-employed earnings are below the Minimum Income Floor we have calculated for you, we will use the Minimum Income Floor to work out your entitlement
14. What if I am self-employed on a part time or seasonal basis?
The Minimum Income Floor included within Rother's Scheme does not make an allowance for part time or seasonal work. Therefore it will be based on a minimum of 35 hours regardless of how many hours you actually work.
15. What is the National Minimum Wage?
The National Minimum Wage is the minimum wage per hour a worker is entitled to in the United Kingdom. These rates are reviewed yearly by the government and are advised by the independent Low Pay Commission. The rates from April 2016 are detailed below.
18 - 20 £5.30
21 - 24 £6.70
25 and over £7.20
16. I think that my Council Tax Reduction entitlement is incorrect. How do I appeal?
You should write to the Councils Revenues and Benefits Department stating why you think the decision is wrong. We will look at your claim again and write to you with our decision. If we do not respond to you within 2 months, or if you are still aggrieved by the decision you may appeal to the Valuation Tribunal. Please visit www.valuationtribunal.gov.uk and follow the instructions there on how to appeal.
17. What is the Exceptional Hardship fund?
An exceptional hardship fund has been set up as part of the new Council Tax Reduction scheme to assist applicants who are facing 'exceptional hardship' The fund has been created to provide further assistance where an applicant is in receipt of Council Tax Reduction. There is no statutory right to payments from the fund as its operation will be at the total discretion of the Council. All applicants will be expected to engage with the Council and undertake the full application process. Failure to do so will inevitably mean that no payment will be made.

At Rudyard Kipling Primary we believe that children learn best when the curriculum is challenging, exciting and relevant to all. Our 'deep learning' approach to curriculum planning ensures a creative and cross-curricular approach to learning and teaching. Wherever possible all areas of the curriculum are taught through topics which ensures that learning is meaningful and children have opportunities to practise skills in context. We ensure that every term each year group has a 'stunning start, marvellous middle and fantastic finish'.
We aim to provide a broad, balanced and coherent curriculum, which covers National Curriculum requirements and promotes the intellectual, spiritual, moral, aesthetic, physical, social and emotional development of all pupils.
There is a termly opportunity when parents are invited to attend 'Topic Chats' to find out about the learning planned for their child. Teachers also produce an information sheet (Topic overview), for parents that is available at that time.
The curriculum at Rudyard Kipling Primary School is based on the statutory National Curriculum framework for Key Stages 1 and 2. The framework can be accessed here.
In our Literacy sessions, we use an approach called 'Talk for Writing (TfW). TfW is powerful because it enables children to imitate the language they need for a particular topic orally before reading and analysing it and then writing their own version. To find out more about Talk for Writing, click this link. To build robust and flexible spelling strategies, we take an approach called 'No Nonsense Spelling'. Find out more here.

Phonics and Reading Schemes
At Rudyard Kipling, we follow the Letters & Sounds phonics programme and Bug Club reading scheme.

In our English lessons, we use the 'Talk for Writing' approach. We believe this is an excellent way to approach writing as it enables children to imitate the language they need for a particular topic orally before reading and analysing it and then writing their own version. Our children, from Reception to Year 6, explore fiction and non-fiction through the process of imitating, innovating and finally inventing.

Real-Time Reporting Ignites Debate
Story Utilities
Also in this article
- Real-Time Reporting Ignites Debate
- Page 2
Much of the industry is firmly opposed to real-time reporting of a new consolidated audit trail, but regulators continue to hint that a real-time component might still be included when the Securities and Exchange Commission rolls out its CAT proposal in the next few months.
At a conference hosted by the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association, David Shillman, associate director of the SEC's Division of Trading and Markets, called CAT the agency's "number one" priority.
While a real-time reporting requirement would mean extensive technology upgrades, he said it could still be feasible.
"If a real-time audit trail were approved by the Commission, monitoring technologies could be developed," Shillman said.
At the same conference, Gregg Berman, senior adviser to the director of the Division of Trading and Markets, was even more enthusiastic. He said the SEC had sought information regarding the availability of real-time tools and found the necessary technology for monitoring is available.
"We were quite pleased to find that it is possible for us to procure systems, databases and applications that will enable us to read, monitor and analyze the same low-latency trade-and-quote feeds that many of the most sophisticated market participants use today," Berman said.
Such systems would allow the SEC to observe every trade, every quote and every cancel, at just about the same time and in the same way that other market participants do, according to Berman. He said that while markets are complex, they are not inscrutable.
Others are not so sure real-time reporting would be a good idea. Many in the industry feel it would be excessively expensive and would add little value for regulators, since illegal market activity probably could not be identified until after the fact anyway.
Some in the industry feel it would be impossible to spot in real time any activity not so egregious that it would be caught today anyway.
"Real time is the worst time," said Chris Concannon, a partner with electronic trading firm Virtu Financial and former head of U.S. transaction services at Nasdaq OMX. "In order to recognize manipulation, you have to look at patterns of activity over time."

Sinn Fein president Gerry Adams has been slammed after claiming Thomas 'Slab' Murphy" had been treated "unfairly" and is a "good republican".
Murphy (66), an alleged former IRA chief of staff, was earlier this week convicted on nine charges of tax evasion after a 32-day trial in Dublin.
Fianna Fáil Leader Micheál Martin said Mr Adams' defence of Murphy showed that Sinn Fein are "not fit for government".
Deputy Martin commented, "Gerry Adams' statement is absolutely extraordinary and further emphasises the fact that Sinn Féin is not fit for Government. This response is completely consistent with how Sinn Féin leadership has behaved in a string of cases in recent times. They are more interested in protecting their own than respecting and enforcing the rule of law.
"Gerry Adams' delayed response shines a light on how important Slab Murphy continues to be to the Sinn Fein project.
"It is incredible that Adams would concentrate on the unfairness of this case when it took the Criminal Assets Bureau to carry out this investigation in the first place. CAB does not normally investigate routine non-payment of tax.
"Decent republicans are tax compliant.
"This is yet another example of Adams not facing up to the paramilitary criminality that is ongoing in parts of the North and border counties.
"His comments, when read alongside the recent independent report into paramilitary activity in the North, provide a chilling insight into how Mr Adams and his organisation do their business".
During Murphy's trial the three judges were told how he had significant dealings in cattle and land and received farming grants, but failed to submit tax returns for nine years.
The prosecution was brought after an investigation by the Irish Criminal Assets Bureau (CAB).
Murphy, who lives at Ballybinaby, Hackballscross, County Louth, on a farm that straddles the border with Northern Ireland, had denied the charges.
He was remanded on continuing bail until February when he will be sentenced.

MFL at Alston Primary school
At Alston Primary School, we support the view that learning a modern foreign language is an entitlement for all Key Stage 2 pupils during their time at the school, starting in Year 3.
We are committed to the principle that learning another language is appropriate for all children, whatever their ability, disability or special needs and we believe that many children really enjoy learning to speak another language. We also consider that the early acquisition of a foreign language facilitates the learning of other foreign languages later in life.
Aims and Objectives
The aim of MFL is to enrich learning for all pupils and to develop confidence and competence to teach MFL for teachers.
•To increase an interest in learning other languages and about different cultures.
•To develop speaking and listening, reading and writing in a foreign language.
•To increase their awareness of other cultures through learning about different countries & their people, and working with materials from different countries and community.
•To develop positive attitudes towards the learning of foreign languages generally;

What happens when you watch the 10:30 pm show of a movie like this ?? – – – – it ends in hysteria and headache!
But you see, I had to watch the movie, I just had to. And what it confirmed was, my absolute and accurate prediction – that it was going to be exactly as bad as it was! So yay!
But, what I have a problem with is not the underlying basic story / concept of undying love, rather how it was portrayed in the film.
I mean, what is it with movies like this that try and place its characters in a near real modern day setting and then make the same characters larger than life in a manner that one cannot even remotely relate to them….?
Take Shah Rukh Khan for example. He is 47 and plays a 25 year old for half the movie. I think even Hrithik Roshan will not be able to pass for a 25 year old anymore. So i ask WHY? Its not convincing, it doesn't fit and it just interferes with the viewer's movie experience. What's the point if we have to do all the imagination!
Unless maybe you are as attentive to detail as Aamir Khan, who being as old as SRK, managed to play an engineering student with such conviction that everyone applauded the effort. I mean right from his look, to his demeanor, to his acting – – everything lent so well to the brilliant story that it was. I know, I know – AK and SRK are poles apart and have very different cinematic personalities, but, they are both still actors and the underlying premise for both remains the same, no matter what roles they do.
And its not that SRK can't act, or can't portray a character perfectly. Swades / Chak de India are two of his most brilliant films. But it seems like his superstar image is always overshadowing the character he plays and that really kills it.
Ok, so about the movie then. It was too predictable. There were too many signature SRK scenes (walking away with backpack especially, which seems to weigh nothing) that looked like I had seen them before.
Katrina Kaif wasn't so bad, but that's about it. Ofcourse, she has a fabulous wardrobe.
Anushka Sharma is overdoing her "young / tomboyish / oh i've been there done that / super cool dilli girl / enthusiasm pumped to the core / fallen in love and reformed" role. She should stop. Before it ends up in overkill. Also, her character is a little irritating – and I don't understand how a 38 year old man can be interested in the 21 year old girl who has brains not enough to figure that when you jump in a lake somewhere in Ladakh, the water is bound to be icy!
Also, one would think that maybe it was high time that the movie makers got the "army" angle correct. But no, they must still use it only to portray the macho-ism of their hero. After all, woh hero hai bhai! Woh apne desh ke liye thodi lad raha tha…..woh to Sir Jesus ko challenge karne ke liye bharti hua tha.
And that brings me to my next question – usko bharti kisne kiya? The man did not know english, most likely had an interrupted education (which is why he was working multiple odd job shifts in London, else his multi millionaire girlfriend could have given him an office job..no?), was 25 when he saw Katrina Kaif and fell in love, 28 when he returned to India – – so how did he get into the army?? On the one month speed english course his girlfriend gave him??
All I ask for is a little authenticity.
Sigh….it wasn't over until it was over…….jab tak thi jaan, jab tak thi jaan…..

Another installment of: What happened to the rest of the World? This time: Africa!
After the war Africa was split into three separate nations - The United African States, the Saharan Confederacy and Egypt. UAS and SC have a tenative peace but luckily a large buffer zone through which there are dangerous animals, thick jungles and deserts keeps them from war. Egypt rose to massive power in the region due to the gulanite that appeared there, as well as a plethora of other precious minerals. They trade with the UAS and SC as well as with Ara-Casti in Asia, lower European towns and as far away as Australia. The desolate island of Ladanashi is believe to sit on a massive vein of gulanite guarded by the largest colony of Volge on the planet.
If people are interested I can expand on the areas.

There is a diversity of oxidation reactions in which C=C bonds add oxygen or are cleaved to the oxygenated products. Whenever oxygen adds to C=C bonds, the products are Epoxides or 1,2-diols. Some of the most significant reactions of alkenes comprise oxidation. Whenever we discuss of oxidation, we generally mean reactions which form carbon-oxygen bonds. (Halogens are the oxidizing agents and the addition of a halogen molecule across a double bond is generally an oxidation as well.) Oxidations are specifically significant as most of the common functional groups include oxygen, and alkene oxidations are some of the best techniques for introducing oxygen into organic molecules.

The epoxide is three-membered cyclic ether, as well termed as an oxirane or oxacyclopropane. Epoxides are important synthetic intermediates employed for transforming alkenes to a variety of other functional groups. The alkene is transformed to an epoxide via a peroxyacid, a carboxylic acid that consists of an additional oxygen atom in a -O-O- (peroxy) linkage.
Fig: Conversion of alkenes to Epoxides
The epoxidation of an alkene is obviously an oxidation, as oxygen atom is added. Peroxyacids are extremely selective oxidizing agents. A peroxyacid epoxidizes the alkene via a concerted electrophilic reaction in which some bonds are broken and some others are formed at similar time. Beginning by the alkene and the peroxyacid, a one-step reaction provides the epoxide and the acid directly, devoid of any intermediates. The reaction procedure is a single step (concerted) transfer of an oxygen atom to the C=C. For illustration, by employing peroxycarboxylic acids like m-chloroperbenzoic acid (MCPBA), perbenzoic acid or peracetic acid, 2,3-dimethyl-2-butene is transformed to the respective epoxide.
Fig: Example of epoxidation
Similar to hydrogen peroxide, H2O2, peroxycarboxylic acids are oxidizing agents and are frequently employed for that purpose. Peroxycarboxylic acids are usually unstable and should be stored in the cold or, rather, be ready as required. The significant exception is 3-chloroperoxybenzoic acid, a remarkably stable crystalline solid now available commercially. This reagent gives a simple and expedient one-step route to Epoxides.

Conversion of alkenes to syn-1,2-diols (hydroxylation):
Alkenes are oxidized readily through potassium permanganate, KMnO4; however the products based on the reaction conditions. Cold dilute potassium permanganate reacts by double bonds to provide vicinal diols that are generally known as glycols.
Fig: Hydroxylation
Reaction conditions require to be cautiously controlled. Outcomes are variable and generally low. The reaction takes place by syn addition and is thought to comprise an intermediate cyclic manganate ester which is rapidly hydrolyzed.
Fig: Conversion of alkenes to syn-1,2-diols
The cis-diol can be isolated from the osmate ester by H2S, however a more convenient (and less expensive) process comprises the combination of hydrogen peroxide by a catalytic amount of osmium tetroxide. The osmate ester is made up however is transformed via the peroxide to the cis-diol. Osmium tetroxide is continually regenerated, in such a way that merely a small amount need be utilized.
Fig: Isolation of cis-diol
Whenever more concentrated solutions of potassium permanganate are employed in the oxidation of alkenes, the initially made glycol is oxidized further. The product is a mixture of ketones or carboxylic acids, based on the extent of replacement of the double bond.
Fig: Potassium permanganate used in the oxidation of alkenes
This is not a general reaction in organic synthesis as the results are generally low. Oxidative cleavage of the double bond can usually be acquired in better yield via reaction with ozone.
Ozonolysis of alkenes (oxidative cleavage):
The reactions of alkenes by ozone are generally carried out via passing ozone-containing air via a solution of the alkene in an inert solvent at low temperatures (generally-80oC). Reaction is fast and completion of reaction is found out by testing the effluent gas with potassium iodide. Unreacted ozone reacts to provide iodine. Appropriate solvents for Ozonization comprise methylene chloride, alcohol and ethylacetate. The primary made addition product, the molonozonide, rearranges fast, even at low temperatures, to the ozonide structure:
Fig: Ozonolysis of alkenes
In several cases polymeric structures are obtained. Some of the ozonides, particularly the polymeric structures, decompose by explosive violence on heating; therefore, the ozonides are usually not isolated however are decomposed directly to the desired products. Hydrolysis with water takes place readily to provide carbonyl compounds and hydrogen peroxide.
Fig: Hydrolysis with water
Aldehydes are oxidized via hydrogen peroxide to carboxylic acids. Therefore, reductions are often employed in decomposing the ozonides. These conditions comprise zinc dust and acetic acid, catalytic hydrogenation and dimethyl sulphide.
Fig: Aldehydes oxidized by hydrogen peroxide
The treatment of ozonide by sodium borohydride provides the corresponding alcohols.

|Funds of Funds
Funds of hedge funds (FoHF) invest in existing funds or managed accounts run by different managers. The first worldwide FoHF, leveraged capital holdings, was set up in 1969 by Georges Coulon Karlweis for the Banque Privée Edmond de Rothschild. The strategy of FoHFs is to decrease the volatility of investing in a single hedge fund by diversifying into a portfolio of funds and managers.
Funds of hedge funds are considered less risky than alternative investment strategies. For example, FoHF managers can freely select the portfolio strategies they use. FoHF managers are therefore able to allocate their funds to a single strategy (single-strategy funds of hedge funds) or to various strategies (multistrategy funds of hedge funds).
Worldwide, the number of FoHFs has increased dramatically over the last decade. In 1990, according to hedge fund research (HFR), there were about 80 FoHFs; by 2000, that number had increased to 538.
By the end of 2006, the amount had more than quadrupled to 2221, primarily due to high demand from institutional investors who prefer FoHFs for their first hedge fund allocation. About 70% of FoHFs use leverage, but mainly to finance backup solutions, not for investment purposes. Figure 1 shows the typical investment process of a FoHF.
We can classify FoHFs according to their management concepts into the following industry typical classes:
- Index concept
- Qualitative concept
- Quantitative concept
Funds following the index concept invest in up to 100 individual hedge funds, with the aim of tracking the risk/return profile of the entire hedge fund field. Managers using this concept believe their selection skills will lead to long-term outperformance and minimize blow-up risk. The index approach is characterized by simplicity, clear investment rules, and significant diversification to safeguard investors from managerial risks.
Funds following the quantitative concept, hold up to 50 funds, and attempt to quantify their weight and style allocations based on models. Many statistically uncorrelated hedge funds may thus be combined in one portfolio. Quantitative managers try to generate additional value through selection and active optimization of different hedge fund style allocations.
The qualitative concept is characterized by limiting the portfolio to a maximum of 20 hedge funds selected through thorough due diligence and rigid qualitative monitoring of portfolio positions.
Managers following this approach do not see any additional value in past hedge fund performance. They aim to generate value by sound diversification of different performance strategies. Due diligence and monitoring, however, are large expenses for these managers.
Lhabitant and Learned (2003) note that most funds of funds hold between 15 and 40 underlying hedge funds, but a portfolio consisting of 5–10 would provide most of the diversification benefits.
Lhabitant (2006) also shows that as the number of hedge funds increases, the beta of the portfolio also increases. Kat (2004) shows that FoHFs provide skewness protection while offering diversification through a basket of hedge funds.
Subscription and exit solutions are possible in the hedge fund universe on at least a monthly basis. Fothergill and Coke (2001) have shown that most FoHFs do not charge an entry fee. However, if third parties such as brokers or banks are involved in the sale of shares, there is usually a sales fee and a yearly performance fee.
Hedge fund lock-up periods, during which investors cannot take money out of the fund, must also be considered by investors. According to an AIMA study, 70% of FoHFs require a lock-up period of at least 6 months. The other 30% usually have an individual lock-up period. The minimum investment in a FoHF ranges from U.S. $50,000 to $250,000.
One of the major disadvantages of investing in FoHFs is the additional fee level compared to an allocation in single hedge funds. Typically, FoHFs charge a combination fee, consisting of either a 1.5% management fee with no performance fee, or a 1.0% management fee combined with a 10% performance fee.
We assume that the pressure on FoHF fees will increase in the coming years, and we expect they will ultimately decrease to a management fee of between 0.70 and 1.00%, with no performance fee.
The literature thus far has found mixed results regarding FoHF performance versus individual hedge fund performance. Brown et al. (2004), for example, find that individual hedge funds dominate funds of funds on an after-fee return basis or a Sharpe ratio basis.
Based on an empirical analysis of 907 FoHFs, Capocci and Hübner (2006), however, find empirical evidence of performance persistence, and show that the Sharpe ratio is the most suitable measure.
According to Fung and Hsieh (2000), FoHF performance does not depend on various biases (survivorship bias, self-selection bias, instant history bias) because
- they also include hedge funds, which are not found in any database,
- they feature data on hedge funds that have ceased to operate, and
- their historical track records do not include the performance of any new funds they may have invested in.
The market for FoHF can be divided into small (up to U.S. $500 million in assets under management [AUM]), medium ($501 million to $1 billion AUM), and large (over $1 billion AUM). The large category only comprises about 10% of all FoHFs.
Risk-averse investors tend to invest in large funds of funds with a high degree of diversification. Investors aiming for high returns or an outperformance of strategy indices may opt for smaller, specialized funds of hedge funds.
The large fund of funds model has the following advantages:
- Investment resources to select and analyze managers from a large database
- The potential to diversify by selecting various managers
- A better negotiation position for individual hedge fund fees
- The capital to equip new managers with seed money
- Decreasing fixed administration costs
- Lower entrepreneurial risk for investors
The advantages of FoHFs generally are their established market reputation and long track record based on long-term hedge fund investment. However, there are several disadvantages that should not be ignored, such as:
- Difficulty in optimally allocating large sums of capital
- Potentially suboptimal manager allocation to guarantee future investment capacity
- A tendency to overdiversify
- Difficulty in actively allocating within specific strategies
- A practical inability to invest in niche strategies or very tight strategies (quasiclosed)

I was talking to my friend Paloma about the recent articles about water and how its source seems to be from asteroids. This inspired me to do the image here as we were thinking we have the asteroids inside of us. This image is about what i was seeing as I was thinking about the birth of water and the journey it has made.
You can read more of Paloma's thoughts on the recent astrology here which is the Google translation in English.
I am going to the Baltic Sea today to put my toes in the water and read Anatomy of the Spirit by Caroline Myss (recommended to me by Yuko).

Well, that was pretty amusing. I attended a concert of opera scenes yesterday evening, given by the chorus. Many of them are friends of mine so it was a combination of support for colleagues, curiosity and a free ticket. Never a bad thing.
Afterwards, I was chatting with a couple of women who eventually asked whether I was a singer too, and if so, was I a member of the chorus? I said no, I was a soloist, and they asked if they would have seen me in anything.
Turns out they have between them seen just about everything I have done here, but totally failed to believe it was me each time! (Yes, I *did* check whether they had eyesight problems, to forestall any snark comments...).
Slightly weird being in a profession where one is delighted not to have been recognised!
(They are now both coming to my next performance of Eugene Onegin - which they praised to the skies even before I let on that I was singing in it (thank goodness) as they said they still weren't convinced that I could possibly be the little old lady they remembered...)

Sunday, November 2, 2014
Before THE MONUMENTS MEN came out last year, I was interested in seeing it just because it had such an amazing cast. But then the word after it came out was that it disappointed. So I figured I'd wait to see it on cable. Which is what I did a few nights ago.
And, I didn't find it disappointing at all. Like any film based on fact, there are a few implausible or unlikely moments enhanced (probably) by a screenwriter's (or director's or producer's) imagination, or need to embellish a basically less dramatic story than most movie plots.
But for my taste, that didn't matter much. My expectations were low, so I expected to watch a bit of it and then turn it off and go to bed. But, it drew me in, as any good movie needs to do to keep your attention, and mostly that was because of what attracted me to the idea of this flick in the first place...
...the fact that this really happened—that the Nazis were determined to steal much of the great art of Europe, or held in Europe at the time, and destroy the rest and that a handful of men managed to save most of it—and the marvelous cast. The movie's worth watching for Bill Murray's contribution alone.
He has become one of the most watchable movie stars in history, and his few scenes in this flick are some of his most understatedly moving and endearing ever. George Clooney is always watchable and usually engaging and this role is no exception. Bob Baliban does the best work he's ever done, in my opinion. And John Goodman manages to do his thing while not seeming to be in his own movie but rather a part of this top-of-their-game ensemble.
Everyone else is terrific as well, the one exception perhaps being Kate Blanchett as what I think the movie makers intended to be a nerdy yet coquettish French woman, but comes across as an actress in the wrong movie. Don't get me wrong, she has her moments of great acting, as always, but she is totally unconvincing, to me, as the French character she's trying to portray.
But as aide from the being miscast and a few anomalies for the time and circumstance, THE MONUMENTS MEN was totally worth watching for me, for the history lesson and for the rest of the acting.

I really looked forward to seeing this film because of the interesting story and ended up very disappointed. I have no fault with the actors but the directing and script didn't do this fascinating story justice. I plan on reading the book. - Bob

I think for me it was the opposite Bob, which often happens, that is, I had such low expectations that when the acting started sucking me in I went with it and ended up digging the overall experience...someone should do a study (someone probably has) on how expectations factor into taste and opinions and judgments of movies etc....

Summary Edit
Hirotaka Wakamatsu meets with his basketball team for their usual lunch meeting. After they discuss various club related topics, the discussion always ends with their biggest problem of all- Yuzuki Seo. After many ideas, they conclude that they fastest way they can get her to change is to make her get a boyfriend. Wakamatsu is the one chosen to be her boyfriend, completely surprising him. However, after all the boys jeer her, she runs away without saying a word.
Wakamatsu shares this with Umetarou Nozaki later on. Nozaki concludes that just like an elementary school boy, she ran away from embarrassment when it came to her own romance. Nozaki deduces that this is the perfect time for Wakamatsu's revenge—since she is not good with romance, he should confess to her and make her uncomfortable for a change. Although Wakamatsu is elated at a chance to get even, he realizes that he doesn't want his first confession to be to her.
The next day on the train, Wakamatsu accidentally confesses to Yuzuki, asking her to also go out with him. Seeing her so ill at ease, he tries to come up with other nice things to say about her, but he doesn't say much. She runs off before he can say anything else. Although he tries to see her all day, he is unable to find her. He despairingly tells Nozaki this the same evening. Nozaki comforts him that he may have missed his chance to get even, but it's okay. Wakamatsu then tells him they have plans to go to the movies later on.
After the movie, Wakamatsu again tells Seo-senpai he likes her. She suddenly backs away from him. After he tells her it was a joke, she laughingly comes closer again. He realizes that this is the part about her that he really likes and decides not to share this weakness with the rest of the basketball team.

Amidst the celebration of Senator Edward Kennedy (D-MA) came the startling news that the University's endowment has lost 22% of its value, or $8.1 billion, in the four months from June 30-October 31. That performance dramatically underperformed the overall market, which declined 18% over the same time period, as measured by the Dow Jones Industrial Average. The most that the endowment had ever declined in a single calendar year was 12.2 percent in 1974. At that time, according to an email send to the Council of Deans by University President Drew Gilpin Faust, the "endowment stood at less than $1 billion and funded a much less significant proportion of University operations."
The unprecedented decline in endowment assets signals that the Harvard Management Company maintained a portfolio of considerable risk, even as financial clouds began to gather, undermining credit markets and plunging the world into global recession. It is but the latest in a series of high-profile controversies for HMC, which came under fire for paying its six highest-paid managers a combined $107.5 million in 2003 and from students for its investments in Petrochina in 2005 (leading HMC to divest, but only after the investment reaped huge gains).
In a departure from the traditional tight-lipped attitude regarding endowment returns, Faust sent an email to the Deans of all schools with a mid-year update and what the decline in assets would mean for the University and its schools. The email is excerpted below.
"As has been reported, the value of the University's endowment was $36.9 billion on June 30, 2008, the end of the last fiscal year. Since then, the severe turmoil in the world's financial markets has affected all major asset classes in which the endowment is invested.
While historically Harvard has reported investment returns only at the end of the fiscal year, in the current extraordinary circumstances we believe it is critical that our efforts to plan responsibly be informed by a more widely shared understanding of what we expect.
The Harvard Management Company…has calculated investment losses of approximately 22 percent from July 1 through October 31. Yet even that sobering figure is unlikely to capture the full extent of actual losses for this period, because it does not reflect fully updated valuations in certain externally managed asset classes, most notably private equity and real estate…With those considerations in mind, and in view of the uncertain outlook ahead, we continue to plan for a scenario in which our endowment is down 30 percent in value for the year…Since [1974], there have been only three years of negative performance, with returns ranging from -0.5 percent to -3 percent. We will of course hope to do better this year than we are now planning, but we need to plan with a clear-eyed view of the reality that confronts us, as best we can gauge it.
Income distributed from the endowment now funds roughly 35 percent of the University's overall operating budget, and some of our Schools rely on endowment income to cover more than 50 percent of their expenses. The prospect of significant endowment losses therefore has major implications for our budgets and planning…The implications will differ in degree from school to school and department to department. But all of us will need not merely to contemplate changes at the margins, but to take a more fundamental look at how to align our spending with revenues that will be significantly reduced from what we had imagined just a few months ago.
In so fluid and unpredictable a financial environment, it is particularly important to maximize our flexibility…Toward that end, we are planning to take advantage of Harvard's strong credit ratings to increase the University's flexible cash resources in the near term…
Given our planning assumption about endowment losses and our desire to buffer the near-term impact to a reasonable extent, we also expect that we will be spending a higher percentage of the endowment next year than we have in the recent past."

I step through my front door. Another work day has concluded and the first thing I think about is sitting down, soon followed by how many hours till I get me time. Meaning, how many hours 'till the kids are in bed, until I get to have an hour and half to myself before I set the alarm for another grinding day at work.
Guilt ensues after I look at this thing called fatherhood as just an hour glass waiting to be turned.

13 arrested on May 1 as thousands of Papuans demand independence
Viva News - May 1, 2012
The protesters held a long-march around Manokwari city carrying hundreds of Morning Star flags the symbol of Papuan independence as a call for and demand on the Indonesian government to immediately restore the sovereignty and independence of the Papuan nation.
According to the demonstrators, the dialogue offered by President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono is not a solution to resolve all the problems in Papua. Although the Morning Star flag was flown openly, police took no action whatsoever.
The long-march began at the Papuan Traditional Council (DAP) office on Jl. Trikora Wosi then proceeded through Jl. Yos Sudarso and Jl. Merdeka and ended in Kwawi. Traffic in Manokwari city was totally paralyzed by the protest action.
13 arrested
The Morning Star flag was also flown during a protest at the grave of Papuan figure They H Eluay in Sentani, Jayapura. In the end police moved in and pulled down the flags after deploying troops and a Barracuda armored vehicle. As many as 13 people were arrested and taken in for questioning by the Jayapura municipal police.
Papua regional police spokesperson Assistant Superintendent Yohanes Nugroho Wicaksono, when sought for confirmation as he was taking part in securing a protest in the vicinity of Imbi Park in Jayapura city, confirmed the arrests. "Yes, there were 13 people arrested because they flew flags that were similar to the Morning Star, but there status is still as witnesses", he said.
According to Wicaksono, actions in which the Morning Star flag was flown took place in several Papuan regencies including Manokwari, Biak, Sorong, Jayapura and Jayapura city, in which thousands demanded Papuan independence.
"The protest actions in these regencies definitely had no permits, because the organisations that held the actions, are not registered with the National Unity and Social Protection Agency (Kesbang Linmas), but we still tolerated them, as long as they did not disturb the public order", he asserted.
Flying the Morning Star flag is in fact a criminal violation, although the only people arrested were those in Sentani. "In other areas meanwhile, it is currently under investigation", he added.
The protest actions were still continuing as this report was filed. (umi)

Growing up in the shadow of 9-11, CJ, 13 and Max, 12, give away their concert proceeds to help vets in need
Like most boys their age, brothers CJ and Max Teas spend their days shuttling from middle school to baseball practice. But it's the end of the day when they work the hardest.
The brothers rock out at least an hour a night in the family s Charlotte, North Carolina, guest bedroom turned music studio, rehearsing with their band. They play to crowds at area restaurants and festivals, but don't earn a dime. The boys give away everything they make.
Before moving to Charlotte two years ago, CJ, now 13, and Max, now 12, grew up in a town devastated by the 9/11 attacks. Middletown, New Jersey, lost 37 first responders and residents that day, more victims per capita than any other town in the state.
So the brothers grew up hearing about loss, terrorism and the veterans serving in the wars that grew out of the 9/11 attacks. They felt a strong need to do something.
"We've been raised to give back," CJ says. "The feeling you get when you do it is the reward, and we thought it would be special to help the veterans that have helped our country."
CJ is the more outspoken of the two, but he takes a backseat to his younger brother Max, 12, when the two perform on stage in their band, called CJ and Brother Max. They formed the band two years ago, after winning a bet with their dad, Christopher, a Wall Street executive who commutes between New York and North Carolina.
"Our parents have always played rock music, and then we started playing Guitar Hero and our dad promised he'd buy us guitars if we got to expert level." They did.
Their specialty is music made long before they were born. They count Guns N' Roses, Mötley Crüe and Def Leppard as their musical idols. Last summer, they met guitarist Ryan Roxie, who has played with Alice Cooper. "This world needs more heroes, especially guitar heroes," Roxie tells PEOPLE. "I think what CJ and Max are doing for veterans is not only inspiring to kids their own age, it's inspiring to all of us."
The brothers performed more than a dozen concerts last summer, donating all their performance fees and tips to The Patriot Charities, a nonprofit that raises money for wounded military heroes and their families.
"We are amazed at the caring and commitment of CJ and his brother Max at such a young age," says Dana Bradley, president of The Patriot Charities.
Helping a Veteran with PTSD
So far, the boys have donated $4,500 to pay for a specially trained service dog for a veteran who has suffered from PTSD. They presented "Tiger" to retired Army gunner Angela Simpson late last year.
Simpson, a 31-year-old single mother of three, has suffered from PTSD since witnessing a violent explosion while serving in Iraq in 2008. "The only thing I remember was seeing a big black puff of smoke," she tells PEOPLE. One of her platoon leaders was severely hurt, and Simpson has struggled emotionally ever since.
"I have nightmares, panic attacks and anxiety attacks," she says. Buts Tiger has helped with all of that, and she is grateful to CJ and Max for their gift.
"I think they're amazing," Simpson tells PEOPLE. "I couldn t stop hugging them. They are incredible young men to just come up with the idea to start a band and help veterans. What young child does that? They are going to go on to help a lot of people and do a lot of amazing things."
CJ and Max were overwhelmed the night they presented Tiger to Angela. "It was an unexplainable feeling. It was an amazing feeling to know this has helped somebody in such a big way," CJ says.
Now that they see the huge need, they just want to do more.
"One dog helps one person, but there are huge waiting lists to provide service dogs," Max says.
So along with the help of their parents, the boys are planning a tour for this summer and hope to raise money to buy more service dogs and to help veterans in other ways.
"I'm happy they found something they love to do," says their mom, Jennifer, an at-home mom. When the boys aren't rehearsing or playing, CJ, an eighth-grader, is busy as a varsity wrestler, and Max, in seventh grade, does kickboxing.
"I love just listening to them," Jennifer says. "I sit on the stairs outside the room and just listen. It makes me so happy that they've found something they love in the music and have found a way to use it to give back. As a parent, I couldn't be prouder."

Considering a trip to Madurai, the home of the renowned Meenakshi temple? Here's what to do in Madurai, besides temple hopping.
As the third largest city of Tamil Nadu, Madurai is a city known for its historical and cultural significance, the first association with the city being the acclaimed Meenakshi Amman Temple. In fact, the city has been constructed in the form of a lotus around the Meenakshi Amman temple.
An ancient city with a rich cultural and architectural heritage, it is called the 'Athens of the east'; but Madurai, arguably, has as much as history as Athens itself. The Greeks traded with the then Pandya kingdom from the 3rd to the 10th century B.C.
While there are thousands of articles about Madurai on the Internet, what they cannot provide is the pride that a resident feels when he lifts his chest high and claims, "Maduraikkaranda!" ( I am a proud Madurai-ite!)
While most visitors to the city come on account of the Meenakshi temple, Madurai has some lesser known attractions that are usually overlooked; rather, they are not given much importance. But as a Madurai-ite by birth and by living, I would like to highlight those.
A few tips for the first time visitor to Madurai
The typical hustle and bustle associated with a place of pilgrimage is ever-present. Yes, it can be a harsh sensory overload if you are a first-time visitor. Finding time and space to yourself in Madurai, immediately, can be tough indeed. Rest and Rejuvenation (R&R) should be first on order as soon as you set foot here.
- For starters, the roads leading to the Meenakshi Amman temple are beautifully designed such that, if you are dropped anywhere in the heart of the town, you can choose to walk in a random path as it will ultimately lead to the temple. From there, you can trace your way to your destination easily.
- Choose to enter the Meenakshi temple through the north gate entrance especially in the mornings. It is the least crowded one. The east and south will be packed because they are considered auspicious.
- There is much more to Madurai than just temples. It is known as a city that never sleeps ('Thoonganagaram') owing to its many businesses that stay round the clock. It is relatively safe on this account. However, there is no night life as such and it is better not to wander/ shop during late night hours.
- Madurai is a politically active area for many parties, so it is not unusual to face traffic diversions and market shut-downs on occasion.
- The city gets hot and dusty during peak summer. Petty thefts and pick-pocketing occurs in crowded locations – as with most busy pilgrimage destinations, be cautious!
- Beware of guides, many of whom are or claim to be tailors who offer a visit to the textile shops to have the best view of the temple. It is possible that this could be a way to get you to look at and force you to buy goods in that shop.
- What rocks the most in Madurai is the food. You can visit the city just to eat. It is in fact quite hard to decide where to begin describing food in Madurai. You start a typical day with steaming-hot feather-soft idlis and crisp brown dosas from any of the thousands of roadside eateries. Skip drinking water at these pavement joints though.
Madurai beyond Meenakshi
Even though Madurai is best associated with the Meenakshi temple, there are many more interesting things to do in this city. After all, it was on global travel map thousands of years ago. Here are some ways to spend your time in Madurai.
- Madurai is surrounded by mountains of historic significance and cultural importance – Nagamalai, Yaanaimalai, Samanarmalai to name a few. The city's outskirts are a granite rich resource. Besides scenic spots for a drive, they also offer splendid views of the city.
- Considered a major textile centre, Madurai is famous for its cotton fabrics and batiks. Many streets are lined with shops selling fabrics and ready-made clothing as well as jewellery. It is an ideal place to buy some of the traditional craft products of Tamil Nadu.
- Madurai's bullion bazaar is Asia's largest. You can find numerous shops starting from small gold merchants to big branded showrooms.
- Madurai's Gandhi Museum has the dress with blood stains that Gandhiji wore when he was shot. It is in this city that Gandhiji turned to simplicity in costume, i.e. not wearing a shirt and to wearing Khadi clothes. Rani Mangammal's palace was turned into the Gandhi museum.
- The temple city is a hub of the South Indian art and culture – not only from Tamil Nadu but the entire South Indian region. Being a witness to the evolution of Carnatic music from the 16th century, the city boasts of a rich legacy of music with famous Carnatic musicians like the legendary M.S.Subbulakshmi and Madurai Mani Iyer. Take in a temple concert in this ancient city.
- There is a famous saying in Madurai, "Even a donkey which roams around Madurai will never leave the city!" Of course, it has little to no infrastructure in comparison with the major metros and water scarcity does exist at certain times, alongside other issues such as bad roads, power failures and so on. But these are minuscule when compared to what it offers – the fun, divinity, contentment, and a kind of satisfaction you get on visiting my Madurai.

CapeTalk's Kieno Kammies spoke to Ibrahim Josephs, the father of 23-year-old Toufeeq Josephs who was gunned down at the Engen garage across the Mount Nelson in Cape Town on Saturday.…
"When I got there my son was lying on the floor, deceased," says Josephs. "I didn't panic, because of the spiritual relationship I have with Allah. He controlled me. I know what life is all about. I didn't go wild. My spirituality made me a strong father!"
"That guy's mother gave birth to a Satan! You are not allowed to kill another person; the creation of Allah!"

text: As far as I know this book is the last one in the Otherkin trilogy. Even though it is the last one, I am not sad. The ending was open, happy and satisfying. This book was about Dez and her group figuring out the twist and turns of the tribunal plus battling a new enemy, Orgoli. As Dez fights Orgoli, she learns about herself and finally finds out who she truly is. This book was never boring, but at times I found it hard to pick up. This is not because it was boring, but because I was not happy with the decisions that Dez was making. In the end I think that Dez handled everything fine and I no longer need to yell at the book in frustration. I recommend this book to anyone who liked the animorph series or likes animals.

ALBUM REVIEW: Twin Atlantic – Great Divide
Scottish rockers, Twin Atlantic have quickly risen through the ranks since forming in 2007. Bagging support slots with some massive names in the industry, including fellow Scots Biffy Clyro and pop punk icons Blink 182. Not bad for the bragging rights at all.
Now with the release of their latest album 'Great Divide', we get a glimpse into just how far the outfit has come since those early days of playing tiny bars around Scotland.
The new record captures the maturity and talent that seemingly keeps growing among the group. 'Great Divide' swings in and out of these big riff driven, upbeat rock anthems, particularly displayed in the monstrous sounding track 'Cell Mate' to the more mellow and heartfelt ballads take 'Oceans' in an effortless fashion.
There appears to be almost a complexity to the whole outlook on it, more of an intricacy to the way the catchy guitar riffs are transitioned into huge solos that intertwine with pounding drums and these occasional, subtle yet enough to stand out, piano pieces that give a refined feel to it. It all combines to aid this much more mature sounding Twin Atlantic from anything I can remember previously.
This isn't to say they have abandoned any of their traditional catchy, bob your head along to factor. It's one of them that's still hard not to get drawn into, you'll find yourself unknowingly joining in with the chorus of one of the album's singles; 'Brothers and Sisters' every bloody time. The new complexity hasn't by any means obscured any of the accessibility of the band, however it has made them sound more like a proper rock outfit, rather than a "pop – rock" sort of thing, if you will.

To the Editor:
In "State of the Unions" (column, Dec. 24), Paul Krugman says unions died when the corporations declared war on them. The unions committed suicide when they abandoned the reason unions once existed: workers and bosses have contradictory interests.
Union executives adopted the philosophy of what was once known as company unionism, the unity of business, government officials and unions in the national interest, but the viewpoint gained power after World War II.
Now it's the notion that drives every union. That idea serves union bosses who encourage members to see the union as a vending machine rather than a social movement of solidarity and direct action, setting up the union bosses like priests and the members the flock; but it does obvious harm to the rank and file who witness their leaders selling them out over and again — to preserve the industry, to serve the nation, or for the good of the union.

Title: The Burning Red Author: Deby Email: email@example.com Rating: PG-13 I think Summary: he's back Genre: L/R Archive: sure, just let me know where & please keep my name & email on it. Thank ya very much! :) Chapter 2 Scott's jaw clenches so tightly he sees stars as he stares at the man before him. Coming outside to see Logan walking up the drive with a knapsack slung over his back had shocked him and he was more upset to -not- see his bike then he was to see Logan. "A TRAIN?!? How is it that it hit the bike and not YOU??" Scott jabs his finger into the other man's chest, accusingly. Logan smiles tightly, mockingly, his eyes glittering as he growls, "I wasn't on it, but the person who was, well, he didn't fare any better then the bike." Leaning closer to Scott, he grounds out in a low warning, "Now let it go at that." Turning his back on the seething man, Logan walks to the mansion, his mind focusing on more important matters. Like finding Rogue. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Rogue stood at the door of Professor Xavier's office, hand raised to knock when she heard a voice, 'Come in Rogue.' Despite her anguish, she can't help a small smile escape at his welcome. Entering the large office, Rogue stands before the desk, looking at the kind face of the Professor when the dam breaks. The kindness that this man has shown her is overwhelming and the emotional events of the last hour come crashing down on her. Collapsing into one of the large leather seats at his desk, Rogue struggles to get ahold of her emotions, knowing that he is waiting for her to speak. Finally clamping her teeth down on her lower lip she looks up at him, slightly embarassed by her outburst. "Sir, I'm sorry for that, I just.... I ...." She thrusts the crumpled letter in her hands toward him. "I got this today." Xavier reaches forward and takes the paper, smoothing it out so he can read it. Sorrow fills his eyes as he looks up at Rogue. "I am so sorry for you Rogue, if there is anything I or anyone here can help you with, please tell me. Are you going to return to Mississippi to see your Mother?" Rogue looks down and shrugs slightly, "I don't know, Sir. I... I feel I need to but I'm scared." Her hands begin to tremble again and she stuffs them under her legs, trapping them against the seat. "My Father, he was very angry when they found out about...." Her voice fades off and she shrugs again. "Rogue, you know deep inside you want to go, I think you should. It is the only way you can put your past to rest. You need to..." He is interrupted when the door flings open and slams shut violently. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Logan had asked everyone he saw on the school grounds about Rogue and no one seemed to know where she was. Growing increasingly impatient, he stalks to the Professor's office and bursts through the door, a demand to Rogue's location dying on his lips when he sees her. His forward momentum is halted at the sight of her. She's matured into a lovely woman in the years he's been gone but he notices a definate sadness about her right now. "Hello Logan, I see you've returned safely." Xavier smiles a welcome to him, seemingly undisturbed by the interruption. He manuvers his chair around the desk and pauses beside Rogue, leaning over to place a hand on her shoulder, "Rogue, just go with what is in your heart." He straightens and nods at Logan on his way out. Exiting the room he sends a thought out to Logan, 'She needs you right now.' Closing the door, Logan slowly walks to where Rogue is still sitting. She hadn't looked up at him when he came in and he was worried. 'What is wrong?' he wonders as he sits down beside her. "Hey kid." He whispers. Rogue finallly looks up at him and he's shocked to see her red rimmed eyes and tear stained face. Moving his chair closer to hers, he rests his hand on her shoulder. "What's wrong, Rogue?" She swallows painfully around the lump in her throat and whispers, "I have to go back home. My Momma is dyin'." Closing her eyes, she leans forward to rest her head on her knees and stifles back a sob. With a low groan, Logan pulls her up into his lap and cradles her close to his chest. Stroking her back with a large hand, his touch soothing as she sniffles and whispers, "I'm scared to go back Logan, what are they going to say if I show up?" Rocking her gently side to side, he whispers against her hair, "I dunno, but I'll be there with you. I'm not leaving you out of my sight again. I made a promise and I've come back to keep that promise. If you'll let me." ---TBC---

Goldert of Gueberschwihr
The Goldert of Gueberschwihr is the only locality in Alsace where the geological substratum is composed solely of marine oolithic limestone. The soil of this Grand Cru is deep and relatively rich and fertile. The altitude of the Goldert is between 250m and 350m, the slope of average gradient is oriented east, south-east and enjoys an appreciable amount of sunshine of around 1370 hours from April to September. The village of Gueberschwihr benefits from late maturation always guaranteeing wines with well balanced acidity.
Traditionally, a lot of gewürztraminer and muscat were planted on the Goldert, which has a reputation for producing wines, in all vintages, with great finesse, lots of body and a slightly less pronounced bouquet. Our Domaine produces very little muscat and gewürztraminer. The muscat is made up of 20% ottonel and 80% muscat Alsace (small grapes).

Trouble was, they had not. It is an alarming departure for a side who had apparently erased regular collapses from their resume.
The verdict Test matches in the UAE are known for speeding up on the last two days, but this was extreme.
South Africa made short work of Bangladesh early on the final day of the first Test to complete a 333-run victory at Potchefstroom. The remaining two were done in less than four. Pakistan had luck on their side with the reviews as both Ali and Shafiq survived confident appeals.
Nuwan Pradeep (0) was the final batsmen to be dismissed when Hasan Ali (1-21) castled him with only Niroshan Dickwella (40 not out) showing some fight in helping Sri Lanka post 138 and set a target of 136 runs for Pakistan in the final innings. Kumar Sangakkara, then captain, asked Herath if he could make it in time. No Misbah-ul-Haq, or Younis Khan?
He walked out to bat in the 29th over of Day 1 when Sri Lanka were precariously placed at 61/3.
Herath took 23 wickets against Pakistan in 2014 - a world record in a two-match series, and he said he had no clue why he was continually so successful against the nation. He had taken 29 matches for his first 100 wickets, 18 for his second 100 and 22 for his third 100. They achieved it, somehow, with a little to spare. These equal the most such hauls taken by any left-arm spinner against an opposition.
"I have no idea how long he is going to play, but I am sure he will do what he can for the team". He is supportive to me and the players, with what he has learnt from cricket. Yet, we can hardly take our eyes off him when he bats.More news: Celebrities hit out at Trump's Puerto Rico tweets
More news: Benjamin Mendy's season in doubt after confirmation of ACL injury
More news: Nintendo Creators Program puts an end to YouTube livestreaming
That the legend - or "wily old fox" as Chandimal also called him - did.
Most wickets after 84 Tests.
At Stumps on Day 3, Pakistan were 266-4 with Ali holding fort against a probing spin-attack and are 153 runs adrift of Sri Lanka's first inning total of 419. While most of the other Sri Lankan batsmen succumbed to the extreme conditions, Chandimal continued his marathon innings with a rock-solid defence and a monk-like temperament.
Now it was just a matter of time as to when the last wicket would fall.
"[Niroshan] Dickwella was outstanding in the second innings to get us to the 140 mark".
Sri Lanka took tea on 403-7, then the end came quickly. Sarfraz Ahmed (16*) and Haris Sohail though, played with application and technique to guide them to the break. But that he once won a Test for Sri Lanka using a gimmick variation he had devised at school when playing indoors with a tennis ball, underscores how fascinating his career has been. They had the game sealed when Dilruwan Perera dismissed Yasir Shah. "We all know Pakistan are a very good team".
"Then when the third umpire said it was a no ball, everyone was upset, especially Dilruwan". I was so happy with the remarkable achievement (400 wickets).
