Brewers 3, Reds 2: Ryan Braun doubled in the go-ahead run in the eighth inning as host Milwaukee came from behind to finish off a three-game sweep of Cincinnati.
Carlos Gomez hit a solo homer in the sixth and tied it with an RBI single in the eighth for the Brewers, who bounced back against the Reds following a three-game slide.
The Reds have dropped four in a row after winning 15 of their previous 16 games.
Cincinnati staked Mat Latos to a 2-0 lead in the third inning, when Dioner Navarro came up with a runner on and drove a 2-1 offering from Randy Wolf just over the left-field wall for his first homer of the season.
Latos allowed one run on three hits in seven innings, striking out eight and walking one before leaving with the lead.
The Reds brought on newcomer Jonathan Broxton (1-1) to protect the one-run edge but the burly right-hander surrendered three straight two-out hits to cough up the lead. Gomezâs single to center plated Norichika Aoki with the tying run and Braun followed by driving a double to center for his 75th RBI.
John Axford (4-6) picked up the win in relief and Jim Henderson worked the ninth for his second save.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Navarro could soon be bumped, as the Reds are expected to activate C Devin Mesoraco off the DL on Thursday. ⦠Cincinnati announced that it will retire Hall of Famer Barry Larkinâs No. 11 in a ceremony on Aug. 25. ⦠The Reds continue their road trip with the start of a four-game series at the Chicago Cubs on Thursday while the Brewers get a day off before beginning a six-game trip at Houston.

ABOUT THE SPEAKERRobert Palmer - Campaign leader, Global Witness
Robert Palmer investigates how the financial system facilitates corruption and other crimes.
Why you should listen
Robert Palmer is the Banks and Corruption Campaign Leader for Global Witness, whose founder Charmian Gooch won the TED Prize in 2014. The Nobel-prize nominated organization is dedicated to breaking the links between natural resources, conflict and corruption.
Palmer has led a number of high profile investigations. These include exposing how corrupt Nigerian politicians used British high street banks to move bribe money; uncovering which global banks held $65 billion of Libyan government funds; and organizing an undercover sting to show how corrupt officials can move suspect funds into the U.S. with the help of New York lawyers.
Palmer is an expert in the global anti-money laundering framework and helps to develop practical policy solutions to improve its effectiveness. He helps to lead a global coalition of civil society groups campaigning for an end to the abuse of the financial system by corrupt officials. This has led to new transparency laws in the UK and EU to tackle anonymously owned companies.

Meet the hosts of TEDxAarhus 2017: Emma Holtet & Philip Morley!
Emma Elisabeth Holtet
Freelance writer & Actor
Emma Elisabeth Holtet has worked with theatre for almost a decade. She trained to be an actor at the London School of Dramatic Art, has a bachelor in Theatre Studies from Copenhagen University and was a founding member of the award winning fringe theatre group Circonflex.
In 2014 she traveled to Greenland to create and direct two plays in a series entitled "Greenlandic Voices" telling the real-life stories of 15 young Inuit actors and their lives in a modern Arctic society. The shows played in theatres across Greenland and Theatre Grob in Copenhagen.
Emma spent a total of 1,5 years north of the Polar Circle, living in both Aasiaat and Qaanaaq. She was the owner of 21 sled dogs and spent her free time driving out on the sea ice exploring the surrounding islands.
A year ago, she moved back to Denmark and is currently living in Aarhus where she is finishing a bachelor in Innovation and Entrepreneurship, whilst working for local companies and creative projects – combining her passion for arts and business.
Recently we had a chat with Emma and Philip about their expectations. Check it out in the video!
Philip Morley
Creative Director
Philip is an British creative living in Aarhus at the moment, after working with advertising all over the world. He describes his job as "helping companies explain what they do, how they do it and why they do it", and swears by analogous tools for doing it.
He's also gone through several Edward de Bono lateral thinking courses, proving his creative mindset.
From at a young age wanting to be a pscychiatrist, Philip has always been interested in thinking, and this interest brought him all over the world working with advertising.
Almost always working as a freelancer, he's not in it for the money – rather he's doing the thing that he enjoys, and trying to convice others that they need what he has to offer, even if they don't initially think they want it.
So far, it's going quite well – Philip has helped industry giants such as Arla and Schulstad communicate their messages. This goes hand in hand with his special interest in the "infrastructure of things", for instance meaning that with a bakery he works on the level of ingredients rather than bread.
The stories are simply better, and the competition less, because everybody wants to do the more glamourous stuff. This entusiasm has brought him many places and now also to the TEDx stage.
Philip was a speaker at TEDxAarhus 2016, so he knows all about what this year's speakers are going through. View his talk here!

Title: Hydrodynamics and elastodynamics of flagellated bacteria
Abstract: Bacteria are ubiquitous on Earth and perform many vital roles in addition to being responsible for a variety of diseases. Locomotion allows the bacterium to explore the environment to find nutrient-rich locations and is also crucial in the formation of large colonies, known as biofilms, on solid surfaces immersed in the fluid. Many bacteria swim by turning corkscrew-shaped flagella. This can be studied computationally by considering hydrodynamic forces acting on the bacterium as the flagellum rotates. Using a boundary element method to solve the Stokes flow equations, it is found that details of the shape of the cell and flagellum affect both swimming efficiency and attraction of the swimmer towards flat no-slip surfaces. For example, simulations show that relatively small changes in cell elongation or flagellum length could make the difference between an affinity for swimming near surfaces and a repulsion. A new model is introduced for considering elastic behaviour in the bacterial hook that links the flagellar filament to the motor in the cell body. This model, based on Kirchhoff rod theory, predicts upper and lower bounds on the hook stiffness for effective swimming as well as the possibility of more complex behaviours such as cell reorientation and dynamic modification of surface accumulation.

In keeping with its mission, the Roswell Museum and Art Center concentrates primarily on the art and history of the American Southwest, but occasionally we present work from different regions. One of these opportunities is Pennsylvania Impressionists, curated by the James A. Michener Art Museum in Doylestown, Pennsylvania.
March 30, 2018, 9:00 AM - August 12, 2018, 5:00 PM @ Roswell Museum and Art Center
During his tenure as a war art correspondent in the 1940s, Hurd began painting larger, finished works with watercolor, using the medium as a portable alternative to egg tempera. After World War II, Hurd continued creating larger watercolor paintings, and continued producing sketches and studies for later works. With their fluid, informal lines and energetic brushwork, Hurd's works on paper offer an intimate, gestural foil to his egg tempera paintings.
Drawn from the permanent collection, Peter Hurd on Paper invites viewers to explore the Roswell Museum and Art Center's holdings of studies and finished watercolor paintings. Scheduled to be on view during the exhibition Magical and Real: Henriette Wyeth and Peter Hurd, A Retrospective, this installation is both a continuation of that show and an independent exhibition that can be enjoyed on its own. Learn more about Hurd's working methods while exploring a range of his works. for more information call 575-624-6744.

Nothing like a friggen cars with friggen laser beams on them!A concept car called the Audi Sport Quattro was introduced last September at the Frankfurt International Motor Show. Since then Audi has tweaked the concept slightly and is calling the new version the Audi Sport Quattro Concept Laserlight. The German brand intends to reveal it during the Consumer Electronics Show, next week in Las Vegas.
Among the updates are:
- A high resolution TFT screen that replaces the speedometer;
- A real-time navigation map;
- A more intuitive MMI multimedia system.
The real kicker is the headlight system comprised of laser diodes that can brighten up to 500 meters ahead of the vehicle without blinding oncoming drivers. The lasers will be used for the high beams while the low beams will still make use of Audi's LED-based Matrix Beam system.
Plugin Hybrid Coupe
Its engine is still a 4.0-liter V8 biturbo engine making 560 horsepower, connected to a lithium ion electric motor that adds 150 horsepower. An eight-speed tiptronic transmission completes the setup. Together they deliver 700 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque.

President Obama paused on his trip through Los Angeles on Wednesday to sit for wide-ranging questions on housing and mortgage finance policy.
But the live-streamed discussion was less notable for the content — the president broke little news, and fielded no hardball questions — than for the medium: the real estate listings website Zillow, known more for estimating home values than political coverage.
The exchange, which had the feel of a digital town hall meeting, highlighted both the rapidly shifting digital media landscape and the rising prominence of specialized websites such as Zillow, which is based in Seattle but has operations in Irvine and San Francisco.
Real estate information companies like Zillow — including Trulia and Redfin — have expanded well beyond listings and into sophisticated data mining and analysis of national and regional markets. Traditional media organizations routinely cover data releases from the companies and cite their economists. The companies make money through advertising and directing leads to real estate agents and lenders. Redfin, unlike the others, employs its own agents.

Queen Mary Case Translation Programme
14 October 2010
Translation [*] by Mina Wang [**]
The appellant [Seller] 2 appealed the Shijiazhuang Intermediate People's Court decision on the dispute in international sale of goods between [Buyer] at the first instance and [Seller] 1, defendant at the first instance.
The first instance judge(s) at the Intermediate People's Court found that [Buyer] and [Seller] 2 agreed in the form of an English "pro-forma invoice" to purchase sheet glass FOB. [Buyer] purchased sheet glass of 4mm and 2.7mm thicknesses from [Seller] 2. The total area of sheet glass was 183,285 square meters packed in 50 containers. The total cost was US$213,894. It was agreed that:
|in wood crates with paddings between every sheet
|load onto ship within 25 days of receiving 30% down payment
|Uploading Port:
|Tianjin, China
|Offloading Port:
|Sokhna, Egypt
|30% down payment through electronic transfer within 7 days of signing the pro-form invoice, made payable to Shijiazhuang [Seller] 1; the balance is to be paid before the goods leave the factory.
The pro-forma invoice was signed "Geng" where the seller signature was to appear. There was no official stamp or Chinese signature.
In total, [Buyer] paid to [Seller] 1 and [Seller] 2 US$226,782.45 in the following installments:
|21 Feb 2007
|- US$ 64,048 was paid to [Seller] 1
|26 Mar 2007
|- US$ 17,436.25 was paid to [Seller] 1
|15 Apr 2007
|- US$ 17,456.20 was paid to [Seller] 1
|16 Apr 2007
|- US$ 42,880 was paid to [Seller] 1
|3 May 2007
|- US$ 25,416.25 was paid to [Seller] 1
|16 May 2007
|- US$ 54,625.55 was paid to [Seller] 1
|5 Jul 2007
|- US$ 4,920 was paid to [Seller] 2
Upon receiving the payments, [Seller] 1 made a total of RMB 1,758,839.61 to [Seller] 2 in the following installments:
|27 Feb 2007
|5 Mar 2007
|29 Mar 2007
|18 Apr 2007
|19 Apr 2007
|12 May 2007
|19 May 2007
On 16 Apr 2007, 10 May 2007, 5 July 2007, and 19 July 2007, [Seller] 1 and [Seller] 2 shipped to [Buyer] a total of 181,125 m2 of sheet glass packed in 500 crates in 55 containers.
When the abovementioned shipments arrived at the destination port, [Buyer] discovered that the packaging was of poor quality. And the glass sheets were broken and did not meet the specifications under the contract. On 13 Aug 2007, [Buyer] reported the incident to the local police at the port.
On 8 Jul, 16 Jul and 18 Aug 2007, the Egyptian port authority issued three "Notice of Rejection of Goods" to [Buyer] informing the company that upon laboratory testing the goods were rejected because of their non-compliance with relevant national requirements and Egyptian standards.
From 13 to 16 Sep 2007, [Buyer] requested SGS Egypt to test all goods. On 17 Sep 2007, SGS Egypt issued a test report stating:
|The total defect rate was 91.3276%
|The thicknesses of the sheet glass were 2.1mm, 22mm, 2.5mm, 3.1mm and 3.2mm, whereas [Buyer] purchased glass of 2.7mm and 4mm thicknesses. The difference exceeds an allowable margin of error of 0.02mm.
|Failed the deformation test.
|Failed wave band index and corrugation test.
|The glass contained AZS stone and nepheline that could cause the glass to shatter. The glass surface showed signs of corrosion.
[Buyer] emailed [Seller] 2 on 12 Sep 2007 and 16 Dec 2007 regarding the above matter. [Buyer] also sent photos showing product defects and SGS test reports to [Seller] 1 and [Seller] 2. [Buyer] brought proceedings in the Intermediate People's Court after the parties failed to reach a negotiated settlement.
Further, [Seller] 2 testified that "I, together with Meng Liu, being the agent of [Buyer], prepared export documents for the four batches of shipments. All documents and data were prepared by Meng Liu and me before sending to [Seller] 1 for them to stamp before export. We received all payments from [Buyer] and shipped the goods as required by them."
The Intermediate People's Court found at the first instance:
1. Applicable law.
The claimant and respondent reside and operate their businesses respectively in Egypt and the People's Republic of China, both of which are contracting states to the UN Convention on International Sale of Goods ('CISG'). The parties have not agreed on the applicable law. Further, this case concerns disputes arising from international sale of goods. Therefore, CISG applies to this case.
2. The parties are in a binding agreement regarding the sale of goods.
Whilst [Seller] 2 denied that he signed the "pro-forma invoice" and [Buyer] did not sign it, this is immaterial to the finding of a binding agreement in this case for the following reasons:
|Art 11 CISG provides that "A contract of sale need not be concluded in or evidenced by writing and is not subject to any other requirement as to form. It may be proved by any means, including witnesses." Whether a contract for sale exists in this case does not depend on whether the contract is in writing.
|Both parties have performed their obligations under the agreement with the goods having been delivered and full payment for the goods made.
|Both parties have agreed on the terms of the "pro-forma invoice". The bill of lading, container load plan, commercial invoice and manufacturer's certificate were admitted into evidence. The evidence showed the quantity, the price, the number of packages and the type of the goods are essentially the same as those agreed on the face of the "pro-forma invoice". The sum of [Buyer]'s first payment to [Seller] 1 was equal to the 30% down payment required by the "pro-forma invoice". [Buyer] and [Seller] 2 also delivered their respective performance in the similar manner as described on the "pro-forma invoice".
3. The court supports [Seller] 1's claim that it should not be held responsible because it was an export agent.
[Seller] 1 did not sign the "pro-forma invoice". The "pro-form invoice" only specified the seller Great Wall Glass Co Ltd (signed Geng) and the buyer [Buyer]. Both [Seller] 1 and [Buyer] knew that [Seller] 1 was the export agent of the seller. [Buyer] contended that [Seller] 1 was not an agent because it did not provide a written agency agreement. The court does not find this contention to be well supported.
4. The goods delivered by [Seller] 2 did not conform to the quality and specifications the parties had agreed upon.
The parties specifically agreed that the thicknesses of the sheet glass were to be 2.7mm and 4mm. However, SGS' test report revealed that the variation of thicknesses in the delivered sheet glass exceeded the allowable margin of error. Therefore, the goods delivered did not fit the description. [Buyer] also adduced into evidence the notices of rejection of goods issued by Egyptian port authority, which showed non-compliance with relevant Egyptian standards and national requirements. [Seller] 2 did not rebut the above evidence. Therefore, it was satisfactorily proved to the court that the goods delivered had serious quality defects and did not meet the requisite standards.
[Seller] 2 and [Seller] 1 contended the validity of the test results on the basis that [Buyer] conducted the test unilaterally. To this, [Buyer] argued that the parties had no prior agreement on which testing authority to use or whether testing must be done jointly. Nor does CISG impose any specific requirement on this matter. Therefore, [Buyer] was entitled to engage a globally recognized testing authority such as SGS. The court agrees with [Buyer] on this point.
5. The seller's liability in lack of conformity.
Art 36 CISG provides that:
"(1) The seller is liable in accordance with the contract and this Convention for any lack of conformity which exists at the time when the risk passes to the buyer, even though the lack of conformity becomes apparent only after that time.
(2) The seller is also liable for any lack of conformity which occurs after the time indicated in the preceding paragraph and which is due to a breach of any of his obligations, including a breach of any guarantee that for a period of time the goods will remain fit for their ordinary purpose or for some particular purpose or will retain specified qualities or characteristics."
It is clear under this article that [Seller] 2 's liability to losses caused by delivering non-conforming goods does not dissolve at the time the risk passes to the buyer. [Buyer] sought compensation for shipment cost of US$88,700. The court cannot support this claim because the documentary evidence was not certified or notarized, thus containing formal defect. [Buyer] also sought to recover the loss on purchase price caused by fluctuation in exchange rates, which the court supports.
According to CISG Articles 35, 36, 49, 81 and 84, the court has made a decision as follows:
|The defendant [Seller] 2 is to return all purchase price US$226,782.45 (that is RMB1,548,924.13 at the exchange rate of USD 1 = RMB 6.83, being the rate on the day on which the proceeding commenced);
|The defendant [Seller] 2 is to compensate the plaintiff [Buyer] the loss caused by fluctuation in exchange rates, being RMB 156,479.89 (based on the difference between the exchange rate on 17 September 2007 and that on the day on which the proceeding commenced).
|[Seller] 2 is to pay for the translation cost for this matter, being the sum of RMB1,617 which the plaintiff had paid.
|The court does not support any other claims [Buyer] has made.
|Cost order.

Too many fishermen spoiling the stream
Montana State Roundup
Published March 1, 2001 | March 2001 issue
Montana's streams are filled with troutand fishermen, a bone of contention to many sports-minded residents.
The popularity of the state's trout fishing has increased dramatically over the past few years. For example, from 1989 to 1999 the total number of Beaverhead River "angler days," that is the total number of days spent on the river by all anglers, nearly doubled to 34,000.
The Montana Fish and Game Commission has proposed several commercial-free zones on two of the state's busiest rivers to give residents a leg up on accessibility to their favorite fishing spots. In addition, the commission proposed a weekly Citizen's Day during the peak seasons, which would close stretches of rivers to out-of-staters on Saturdays in summer and fall. Fishing outfitters don't dispute the need to limit the number of fishermen, but believe the numbers should be split between residents and nonresidents.

Summerlin® Ranks #6 In Sales On National List Of Master-Planned Communities
The mid-year review by RCLCO notes Downtown Summerlin a draw for new home buyers
Summerlin® marked the first half of 2015 with strong new home sales, topping last year's numbers through June 2014 by 32 percent. Summerlin is the only Nevada community on the top 10 list, according to a report recently released by real estate consultant RCLCO. The national 2015 mid‐year review ranked Summerlin sixth overall as compared to Summerlin's 2014 mid‐year ranking of 13. RCLCO notes overall new home sales activity within master‐planned communities is up throughout the western US. The firm cites the opening and draw of Downtown Summerlin® for Summerlin's strong performance, crediting, in part, immediate access to major retail and entertainment options as a difference maker for homebuyers.
"This national report illustrates what we've known all along," said Kevin Orrock, president of Summerlin. "The Southern Nevada economy is continuing to recover and our numbers are proof positive of that. Along with last October's opening of our highly anticipated regional retail destination, Downtown Summerlin, and the opening of several new neighborhoods and community amenities, Summerlin continues to attract homebuyers seeking the community's hallmark quality lifestyle. We are proud to be the only Nevada master‐planned community in the top 10 on the list."
From January to June 2015, Summerlin offered 17 neighborhoods in three villages, with more than 80 floor plans showcasing 40 model homes and home prices ranging from the high $200,000s to more than $2 million. New Summerlin amenities this year include a public indoor‐aquatic center in the southern end of the community, a fourth community center with outdoor pool and an additional community park in The Paseos village. Downtown Summerlin, the 106‐acre fashion, dining and entertainment center continues to add a variety of restaurants and retail stores to its line‐up. The first residential neighborhood in the Downtown Summerlin area, The Constellation, is under construction with an opening date slated for early 2016.
"The quality and abundance of Summerlin amenities has always been an important draw for this community," said Peggy Chandler, senior vice president, Summerlin. "Along with a wide variety of beautiful home designs and price points for nearly every budget, Summerlin offers a lifestyle unique to Southern Nevada. Not only do we require our home builders to include outdoor living space with the use of courtyards, covered balconies and rooftop decks, we incorporate outdoor living in every neighborhood with trails, parks and beautiful streetscapes that encourage people to walk, run, bike and play."
According to Orrock, Summerlin is easily considered one of the country's most compelling real estate success stories, achieving #1 ranking in national home sales as early as 1992, just a few years after development began. Summerlin achieved the #1 ranking 11 times between 1992 and 2003, remaining on the top 10 list from 2004 to 2007. "This mid‐ year report is a true reflection of an economy coming back, and more significantly, how a community, even in its 25th year of development, continues to take shape as the premier master‐planned community in Southern Nevada," said Orrock.
About Summerlin:
Developed by The Howard Hughes Corporation, Summerlin began to take shape in 1990 and has ranked in the country's top 10 bestselling master-planned communities for nearly two decades. Located along the western rim of the Las Vegas valley, Summerlin encompasses 22,500 acres with approximately 6,000 acres still remaining to accommodate future growth within the master plan. The community is currently home to more than 100,000 residents who enjoy an unparalleled list of amenities. These include more than 150 neighborhood and village parks, more than 150 completed miles of trails, 22 public and private schools, 14 houses of worship, nine golf courses, shopping centers, medical and cultural facilities, business parks and dozens of actively selling floor plans. Homes are available in a variety of styles – from single-family homes to townhomes and condominiums– priced from the $300,000s to more than $1 million. Custom homesites in The Ridges are priced from the $400,000s. Luxury apartment homes offer monthly rents starting from the $900s. Visit www.summerlin.com for more information.

There are only a few certainties in life, and one is that the majority of the corporate and enterprise user base of BlackBerry is going to transition over to Windows Phone in the near future.
In fact, the UK, often said to be BlackBerry's most important market, is already doing so.
Microsoft's mobile platform is seeing a much increased adoption from business users. In fact, the UK police has apparently decide that BlackBerry devices are not enough for their needs. So instead of choosing Android or iOS, they have taken the Windows Phone route.
This report states that Cambridgeshire Constabulary believes that Windows Phone is the perfect replacement for their needs, and has already made the plans to switch public.
In the words of Ian Bell, head of ITC at Cambridgeshire Constabulary:
"The security hasn't been right with Windows Phone in the past, but it absolutely is now. Mobile device management providers have worked their socks off to be ready for 8.1 Phone release, and with the new encryption and new application VPN, it makes this platform become viable from a public sector perspective, while it probably never had been in the past. It is enterprise-ready as far as we are concerned."
It appears that the decision was made right after Microsoft made some announcements at BUILD 2014, and the department will be providing employees some 8,000 Windows Phone handsets in the next couple of months.
And not just the most affordable ones too — the frontline staff will be getting the Nokia Lumia 1520 phablets, while executives are in line to get the Lumia 930 smartphones. A few Lumia 635 smartphones are also in the mix.
All in a good day's work for Microsoft, then, eh?

A Pennsylvania judge ruled Friday that only one additional woman who has accused Bill Cosby of sexual assault may testify against him in his upcoming trial, dealing a setback to the lone viable criminal case against the entertainer.
Prosecutors were hoping the testimony of 13 alleged victims would help persuade a jury that Cosby was guilty of assaulting another woman at his estate near Philadelphia in 2004.
But only one of the 13 women — known in court filings as Prior Alleged Victim Six — will be permitted to testify when the trial gets underway this spring, Judge Steven T. O'Neill said.
Cosby, 79, who is free on $1-million bail, is facing three counts of aggravated indecent sexual assault for a 2004 incident at his Pennsylvania home involving former Temple University basketball staff member Andrea Constand.
It is the only alleged instance of sexual assault — among the more than 50 women who've accused Cosby in interviews and civil suits — in which the statute of limitations has not expired.
Prosecutors, however, had argued the women's accounts established a pattern of prior bad acts — that Cosby essentially had a method of behavior the jury should consider — as they sought to bolster their case.
The prosecution and Cosby's attorneys battled in a tense two-day hearing in December. Montgomery County Dist. Atty. Kevin Steele argued that the women's accusations demonstrated a modus operandi, and the defense team, led by Brian McMonagle, said such claims were both specious and irrelevant.
O'Neill did not offer a reason for the ruling. Key to the defense's argument was that the instances occurred too long ago to adequately defend (Pennsylvania law looks at time as a factor in whether to permit such testimony). Many of the other alleged instances happened in the 1970s and 1980s, while the accusation involving Prior Alleged Victim 6 was comparatively recent; the incident in question occurred in 1996.
According to court filings, Prior Alleged Victim No. 6 said she came to know Cosby in 1990, at age 29, and had gone to his hotel and home six years later in the hope of receiving professional advice. She claims he offered her a pill and ordered her to take it, then proceeded to violate her sexually.
Two years ago, the woman whose account aligns with that filing appeared at a news conference organized by Los Angeles-based attorney Gloria Allred. In an emotional statement, the woman, who identified herself only as Kacey, said she was working for Cosby's agent when she was invited to his hotel room and given a pill, then woke up next to a naked Cosby.
"I no longer have to feel alone with this secret," she said in a statement as she explained her state of mind.
Friday's ruling was a modest surprise to some experts, who thought Steele might prevail in getting the judge to admit the testimony of a few, but not many, of the 13 women.
"It's very difficult to introduce prior criminal acts," said Dennis McAndrews, a former prosecutor and longtime legal expert in Pennsylvania. "I thought they might get more than one but not many more — something closer to three or four."
The testimony of other accusers is considered crucial to the case. Many experts believe Constand's testimony on its own is legally vulnerable because of her delay in coming forward and several inconsistencies in her account, which the defense will seek to exploit.
McAndrews said the case against Cosby was "a little weaker" than it was before Friday's ruling, when the possibility existed that multiple accusers could be allowed to testify. But he said that the prosecution still had Constand, Prior Alleged Victim Six and Cosby's own deposition to rely on. The judge had earlier ruled the Cosby deposition, in a civil case filed by Constand more than a decade ago, would be admissible.
Friday's ruling was the latest development in a case that began 14 months ago, when the newly elected Steele — who had run on a prosecute-Cosby platform — filed charges against the comedian just before the statute of limitations on Constand's case was set to expire. O'Neill has said he wants the trial to start no later than June.
Many victims-rights and women's groups have rallied around the case as the best chance for Cosby to face justice. They also have said they wish for other victims to have their day in court.
Steele issued a statement suggesting the upside of the decision.
"[It] is important," he said, "as the jury will now be allowed to assess evidence that is relevant to establishing a common plan, scheme and design of sexual abuse."

Executive Summary
The United Kingdom will leave the European Union on 29 March 2019. The Government is advancing a detailed proposal for a principled and practical Brexit. At its core, it is a package that strikes a new and fair balance of rights and obligations. One that the Government hopes will yield a redoubling of effort in the negotiations, as the UK and the EU work together to develop and agree the framework for the future relationship this autumn.
Author: Ted Galen Carpenter, a senior fellow in defense and foreign policy studies at the Cato Institute and a contributing editor at The American Conservative.
The upcoming summit between President Donald Trump and Russia's Vladimir Putin affords an opportunity to relearn the requirements of effective diplomacy. If handled poorly, though, it will underscore the adverse consequences of Washington's rigid approach to world affairs.

Nationalist and populist parties are alive and kicking in Europe. Nationalist/populist parties (most, but not all, are from the far right) remain strong in Europe and could benefit from the current disarray in the European Union. Deep-rooted and popular concerns remain about illegal migration and the concentration of power in Brussels, compounded by poor governance in some European countries and disillusionment with traditional political parties. Economic problems continue in many European countries, as do concerns about globalization.
The U.S. Proposal : Elimination of all tariffs on automobile imports on both sides and removal of non-tariff barriers, such as regulations on the size of rear mirrors. The proposal however has strings attached: The German companies must commit to invest and create more jobs in the US.
While nations like North Korea and China take advantage of Trumpian chaos to improve their position in the international order, Europe remains paralyzed. European foreign policy, particularly toward great powers, remains dependent on the American position. The European Union as a whole has no integrated or coherent strategy for managing relations with great powers, while the EU member states usually don't take a geo-strategic approach either.
The Trump administration has crafted a draft bill ordered by the president that would declare America's abandonment of World Trade Organization rules. The bill essentially provides President Donald Trump who has argued for a better position for the U.S. in big trade pacts a license to raise U.S. tariffs at will, without congressional consent and largely outside of the international rules governed by the WTO.

A somewhat motley crew, the eleven-strong team here at The Great Projects are all a close knit bunch. Possessing a passion for both wildlife and travel, it is pretty easy to come in to work day to day and promote what we believe are completely unique and life changing experiences!
Being a relatively young and fresh team, we're all able to bring boundless energy and enthusiasm to our roles on a day to day basis. We love to travel and we love to talk about travel – an essential part of working here we believe!
Please see below to find a little more out about each individual.
Nikita - Senior Travel Consultant
Nikita has been a member of the team for a few years, ever since she volunteered with The Great Projects herself in February 2014, and has now visited 8 projects, including The Samboja Lestari Project, The Namibia Wildlife Sanctuary, and The Great Turtle Project - which are 3 of our most popular options! Therefore she can often offer advice based on first-hand experience and is always happy to help those preparing to get involved with a project themselves.
Since she can remember, she has always had a love for animals of any sort (though a bit of a wimp when it comes to spiders) and loves to immerse herself in different cultures – especially when it comes to trying new food!
Though she's already ticked off a number of projects on her to do list, I don't think there will ever be an end to it, as she is determined to see as much of the world as possible in her lifetime, and will always be drawn to destinations where she can help an animal cause over anywhere else.
Hannah - Travel Consultant
Hannah joined the team in 2018 following some time travelling. Her favourite destinations so far include Italy, New Zealand and Zimbabwe, but she has many more on her bucket list.
She loves exploring and photographing new landscapes and wildlife, as well as meeting people from all over the world through her travels.
She has already taken part in one volunteering project, but with a passion for animal conservation, particularly with big cats and marine wildlife, she is sure that she will volunteer with more projects in the future.
Leanne - Content Marketing & Social Media Assistant
Adding to the team in 2016, Leanne joined us off the back of a trip to both Japan and Hong Kong, where she was lucky enough to meet the wild monkeys that inhabit the 10 Thousand Buddhas Monastery. An avid traveller, Leanne has seen just about every country in Europe and plans to expand on her adventures further afield too, with our Great Orangutan and Pygmy Elephant Project in Malaysia being her dream trip.
Since working with The Great Projects, Leanne has managed to tick another destination off of her list, visiting both the Sloth Conservation and Wildlife Experience and the Costa Rica Turtle Conservation Experience - why not read about her experiences by clicking here?
When she's not travelling, Leanne is a keen writer, and you can get to know her through our blog and our social media pages!
Georgia - Marketing Assistant
Georgia joined our team here at the Great Projects in early 2018. With her two biggest passions in life being animal welfare and travelling, she has managed to get 24 countries under her belt, including two volunteering trips, with no plans of stopping there.
In 2016 Georgia volunteered with The Great Projects at the Namibia Wildlife Sanctuary and after an incredible experience, plans to visit more of the projects. She is especially keen to aid turtle conservation on one of the sea turtle conservation projects.
Environmentally conscious and a lover of all animals, Georgia hopes to promote and raise awareness of wildlife conservation, animal welfare and responsible tourism.
Demi - Marketing & Administrative Assistant
Demi our newest member of The Great Projects, has always had a love and passion for animals and wildlife, and has always wanted to help make a difference.
With places such as Indonesia, India, Maldives, Sri Lanka on her bucket list, she is keen to travel and explore all that these beautiful places have to offer, including meeting the Elephants, Sea Turtles and especially interacting with the Orangutans.
Since starting with The Great Projects, Demi has expressed an interest in some of our most popular trips such as The Great Elephant Project in Sri Lanka, Sea Turtle Conservation in Costa Rica and The Great Orangutan Project in Borneo and hopes that one day she too can volunteer to help the communities involved.
Kate - Volunteer Coordinator
Kate has always had a passion for conservation, travel and primates. This has taken her on a number of adventures working on tropical research and conservation projects in West Africa, Indonesia, South America, and at a primate rehabilitation centre for chimpanzees in southern Spain.
It was after her first trip to Sulawesi, Indonesia at the age of 18 to volunteer on a conservation and tropical biodiversity research project that Kate decided to study Ecology at the University of Edinburgh. Fast forward to now and she has developed a range of practical experience and knowledge working on projects ranging from re-establishing forest in Peru, aiding in the care and rehabilitation of captive chimpanzees in Spain, to researching Mangrove biodiversity and bird species in Tanzania.
She is now excited to return to Indonesia, the country which confirmed her love of travel and conservation, to be our Volunteer Coordinator at The Samboja Lestari Orangutan Volunteer Project in Borneo for her third year.
Michael - Managing Director
Michael has been Managing Director of The Great Projects since 2011. His deep-seated love for travel and wildlife began many years ago after spending time in South Africa's Northern and Eastern Capes. Since then he has travelled all around the world but done most of his travelling through Africa and South-East Asia, where he has worked to set up conservation projects and support existing charities or NGOs in their conservation efforts.
While he is now based mostly within the UK office he still makes time to visit and see the progress of the different projects. In the coming years he hopes to continue to support and work with passionate people at all of the projects as well as develop new and exciting volunteer opportunities when and where they are needed.
Andrew - Director
Andrew became involved with The Great Projects in 2011 when he invested in the business to allow it to expand to include the many new and exciting projects we now offer with many more to come!
Intending initially for it to be a hands-off investment, Andrew quickly got caught up in the excitement of the projects and working to make their aims a reality. Andrew brings his many years of experience of running companies to us to help the team develop the business in a professional and stable way, offering his time for free. Andrew has travelled to many places for both business and pleasure but frequently recounts his experience with Harriet in Borneo. They were visiting the route for our Orangutan and Tribes Voluntour and as they were approaching the lodge, in the trees right on the river bank were two wild orangutans. Seeing them in their natural habitat for the first time had a profound effect and remains one of Andrew's favourite travel experiences.
Andrew is looking forward to overseeing the development of our latest projects and in particular hopes to visit The Great Tiger Project to see the big cats in the wild.
David - Accounts
David is in charge of the accounts at The Great Projects. He helps in the supervision of money and ensures that all the accommodation and logistics are paid for before volunteers travel.
He likes to make sure that all volunteer's money goes to exactly where it is supposed to and put their minds completely at ease!
Miranda - Administration
Miranda joined The Great Projects team in 2012 to help with Company administration as Andrews PA.
She quickly shared the appreciation for the different projects and conservation work carried out by the Company and has expressed interest in several trips including The Great Orangutan and Elephant Project in Malaysia.
Despite having limited travelling experiences Miranda has conveyed interest in combining a holiday experience with volunteering in the near future.

Where's the best place you've ever stayed?
It has to be Six Senses Laamu in the Maldives. If I had to describe paradise then this would be it. I was lucky enough to stay in my own luxury beach villa and had my own butler. The food is amazing and it makes it even more special when you are sitting in the biggest overwater restaurant in the Maldives, watching the sun set.
What's your oddest travel moment?
A few years ago I visited Sentosa Island in Singapore. Our hotel had kindly prepared a picnic for us and we found a quiet spot under a tree to relax and eat our lunch. However every time we reached into the bag of food, things were disappearing quite quickly. I heard a noise and quickly turned around to find a little monkey with one of my sandwiches in his hand scurrying towards the tree!
Have you had a perfect travel moment?
Yes, when I swam with wild dolphins in Australia. I love wildlife and actually cried when I got the chance to dive off a boat into the ocean with 15 or more dolphins. I can't explain the feeling, but it was truly magical.
What are your suitcase essentials?
It has to be mosquito repellent, because of my sweet blood, and my camera, because I love sharing the memories.
Where's next on your wishlist?
Rio de Janeiro is top of my list, I really want to see Christ the Redeemer, plus I would love to experience a carnival there. I would also like to visit Bali and some more Maldivian islands.
"Fantastic customer service and help from Cardiff branch, specifically Hayley Wintle.... I will definitely recommend Kuoni to any friends and family and everyone I know in the army. "

Fruits contain nutritional value and are naturally low in fat, sodium, and calories. As a part of overall healthy diet, consuming diet rich fruits and vegetables reduces the risk of heart disease, protect against certain types of cancer, and so on.
And as summer is here, it's a perfect opportunity to enjoy a bounty of delicious, fresh fruits. Fruits that are juicy and tart seem to be the most naturally cooling effect on the body. I wouldn't want to go in-depth on the health benefits of eating fruits because there are many and we all know that eating fruits is as healthy as drinking water to stay hydrated. However, here are some common summer fruits, as well as the health benefits that are associated with it:
- Pineapples: Contains antioxidants that protect the body against diseases.
- Watermelons: Can help treat kidney, bladder and other digestive problems. Also great for digestion and weight loss.
- Apricots: High in Beta carotene, which gets converted to Vitamin A by the body
- Cherries: Contain diuretic properties, as well as Vitamin C
- Mangoes: Rich in Vitamin C & E & also contain potassium, iron & nicotinic acid
- Papayas: Great for weight loss and can also help in improving digestion.
- Peaches: Can reduce anemia, fatigue as well as high cholesterol
Eating Fruits the Right Way:
Consuming fruits whenever you feel like is not very healthy. To get the most out of eating fruits, here are some correct ways to eating fruits:
- Eating fruits between meals is good. Do not immediately eat them after or before meals
- Eat one fruit at a time. For instance, if you're eating watermelon, don't eat mangoes at the same time. This is because different fruits have different nutritional benefits, different antioxidants, and so on. Having said that, a BIG NO to fruit chats!
- Eat fresh fruits. Don't preserve them in your refrigerator for consuming it later
- Eating a fruit is better than juice. Fruits contain fiber, which is good for the stomach
Fruits for Those Who Hit the Gym
For someone who hits the gym on a daily basis, eating fruits before workout will yield maximum nutritional effect. Here are some pre and post workout fruits you can eat:
Pre workout fruits: Guavas, Banana, Apples
Post workout, you can have the same fruits as mentioned above along with meals like milk and cereals/oats, dried fruit and nuts, eggs and toast, etc. Consume any regular meal that contains lean protein, starch, and vegetables to restore the energy lost.

Having a swimming pool at home is a matter of great pride for a lot of people. Having a pool isn't easy work but if someone has one that's up and running, you can bet whatever you want on the fact that they have to do a lot to constantly maintain it. However, if you do have a pool, you deserve to boast about it after all that you do and you should do whatever you can to make the most of it.
A great way to show off your pool while improving its aesthetic appeal is to fence it using glass instead of steel railings or wooden planks. You can check out glass balustrades at https://www.nu-lite.com.au and see why they go so well with pools for yourself. Here are some reasons why you'll want these around your precious pool as well.
They're Safe
Unlike traditional fences that require gaps in them for visibility, glass balustrades are 100% see through with 0% gaps. Gaps can be dangerous since things can fall through them and children can use them to climb the fence, which defeats the purpose of there being a fence in the first place. This makes glass balustrades much safer.
They Don't Block The View
Imagine sitting by your pool with a nice cool drink on a hot summer day but barely being able to see your pool through your fence. With glass pool fencing, you're never going to have this problem whether you're by the pool or inside it.
Easy to Clean
Glass can get very nasty water stains all over it that just look straight up awful. However, if you give your glass pool fencing a wipe every time it's wet and keep it clean in general, you won't let these stains develop in the first place.

Hansson's First Career Goal Lifts Stars to 5-4 WinDec 16, 2017
Three Stars:
CEDAR PARK, Texas - In a back-and-forth contest featuring both teams coughing up leads and 76 combined shots on net it was Niklas Hansson who ended the night with the overtime-winner to lift the Texas Stars to a 5-4 win over the Cleveland Monsters on Saturday night at H-E-B Center at Cedar Park.
Hansson buried a rebound chance for the first goal of his career after Curtis McKenzie was denied on a 2-on-1 rush midway through the extra frame. The goal improved the Stars' record to a league-best 6-0 in overtime this season.
Sam Vigneault tallied a pair of goals for the Monsters in the loss, including a power-play tip-in goal with three minutes left in regulation to force overtime.
Texas (17-10-0-1) won four of their five games on their homestand and opens up a three-game road trip Wednesday against the Ontario Reign at 9 p.m. CST.
Tied at two entering the third, Andrew Bodnarchuk pushed Texas in front when his centering pass from behind the net deflected off the skate of Cleveland goaltender Matiss Kivlenieks and in the net for his third of the season just 44 seconds into the third. Andre Benoit tied things up again for the Monsters (8-10-3-2) with a point shot through traffic that deflected off the post at 5:01, but 13 seconds later, Matt Mangene made it a 4-3 Texas lead on a loose puck in the slot.
Vigneault opened up the scoring 4:55 into the game tapping in his own rebound to give the Monsters a 1-0 lead for his first of the game. Roope Hintz responded with just over five minutes remaining in the first on a loose puck in the goal crease from a Denis Gurianov shot, but Cleveland made it a 2-1 advantage on the power play when Nick Moutrey's crossing pass deflected into the net off a skate.
In the second, Sheldon Dries forced a turnover behind the Monsters' net at 6:52 and set up Mark McNeill for a one-timer goal in the slot for his fifth of the season.
Landon Bow stopped 40 of 44 shots in net to earn his 11th win of the season, and made two key stops on Cleveland's Calvin Thurkauf and Moutrey in the third to preserve the Stars one-goal lead at the time. The rookie netminder also shut down Sonny Milano on a partial breakaway late in the third to maintain the tie score.
Kivlenieks suffered the loss, stopping 27 of 32.
Cleveland finished 2-for-5 on the power play. Texas went 0-for-4. It was the Stars' third straight win over the Monsters this season.

Good Cause 2.0 ~ how social media empowers giving [1]
In the advent of web 2.0 technology (that's all the Facebook, Twitter,Foursquare, and a plethora of other social media networks), it was just a matter of time when online communities started to use it to promote social causes. Ranging from searching for blood donors in the neighborhood, to more serious causes of helping keep young African girls in school, to empower them as solid foundation of communities to alleviate poverty, break the cycle of injustice and gender inequality, and reduce the spreading HIV/AIDS.
So how exactly does it work? Here is another example from the newly created Crowdrise (please also see my previous post on the same subject), as appeared in Social ROI.
Crowdrise was founded by Hollywood actor Edward Norton and three partners, who saw a powerful link between social media and giving back.
Crowdrise aims to make raising money for a cause not just easy, but also fun. Setting up a page to support something you care about takes less than a minute. Then, friends and family can be invited to be sponsors by donating any amount of money, large or small. You don't have to run a marathon. You can volunteer at a soup kitchen or do whatever strikes your fancy. But Ms. Wittenberg, who has already sent her e-mail to 33,000 runners based in the United States and will soon send one to the 27,000 or so based elsewhere, hopes that anyone running in New York on Nov. 7 will use Crowdrise to do it for charity.

Somehow, the first post of a new blog is always the most difficult. I guess the title of this post is the "birth cry", hah!
I do have a great deal of enthusiasm for this relatively new career. And thank goodness for that, because it (maybe) makes up a bit for the lack of experience.
I think I learn best by putting my thoughts, questions and confusions into writing. Don't be looking for an outpouring of words, though. NOT true to the spirit of blogging, I probably won't post regularly and I may well revise or delete messages as my thinking changes.
Or not! Let's see what happens ...

Kīlauea Volcano's East Rift Zone: 31 Years and Still Erupting. Jan. 3, 2014, marks the 31st anniversary of Kīlauea Volcano's ongoing East Rift Zone eruption. During its first three years, spectacular lava fountains spewed episodically from the Pu'u 'Ō'ō vent. Since then, nearly continuous lava effusion has built a vast plain of pāhoehoe lava that stretches from the volcano's rift zone to the sea. Although the eruption has produced dramatic lava flows in past years, it has been relatively subdued in recent years, with mostly steady, but unusually weak, activity. Tim Orr, a geologist with the USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory, will review highlights from the past 31 years and talk about recent developments on the volcano's East Rift Zone. Part of Hawai'i Volcanoes' ongoing After Dark in the Park series. Free.

Napoleon's Egypt: Invading The Middle East, by Juan Cole, read by Grover Gardner
I found this book greatly disappointing. As someone interested in military history and more than a little bit fond of reading about the Middle East [1], I wanted to read a military history of the invasion of Egypt by Napoleon's army. Not only did I want this, but I expected it as well. Alas, my expectations were not met, not by a long shot. So, instead of listening to a well-crafted military history about an interesting time where Napoleon and the French Directory threw away centuries of alliance with the Ottoman Empire in order to engage in an abortive invasion of Egypt and Syria as an imperial possession to help with the conquest of India from Great Britain, this book tediously and repetitively discusses matters of anti-imperialist rhetoric and the sexual and religious interests of Frenchmen and Egyptians and Ottoman notables and so on. This is not a worthless or useless book, but it is definitely a frustrating book if one does not share the mindlessly hostile anti-imperialist view of the author, who appears to view any sort of empire as an evil, and any sort of move by Western nations to seek their own interests as illegitimate by definition. Needless to say, I take issue with that.
In terms of its contents, the book takes a generally chronological view of Napoleon's excursion in Egypt, from the conception of the invasion to its execution and closing with Napoleon's surprising escape and the return of French troops in a state of some disgrace. The book spends surprisingly little time talking about Napoleon's invasion of Syria, despite its importance, and does not spend a great deal of time talking about the efforts of the French to conquer Upper Egypt. What instead happens is a lot of discussion about the different willingness of various groups to make peace and work with the French, often based on confessional grounds. Throughout the book, for example, the author shows the Coptic Christians of Egypt as well as Greeks as being more friendly to the French than many of the local Muslims, showing that Ottoman Egypt was by no means the tolerant realm to Christians that it is often argued at by contemporary Muslim apologists. It is the author's strange obsession with odalisques and public women (i.e. prostitutes) and their relations with French soldiers and the way that women were judged as suitable mistresses that marks much of the content of this book, and while that is likely to improve the book's sales it makes the book no more edifying or historically worthwhile.
If you enjoy books that make fun of the hypocrisy of imperial rhetoric and that show Napoleon in a less than flattering light, there are ways that you may enjoy this particular book. If you want to read large amounts of material from the diaries and letters of soldiers and Muslim clerics that show the uneasy accommodations and playing both ends against the middle that took place and the way that women served as unwilling pawns and go-betweens and currency in the exchanges of the time, there is much here that shows this book to meet the contemporary interest in war and society. If you are looking for an account that shows the finding of and translation of the Rosetta Stone, or that shows the military operations of Napoleon and his subordinates and enemies in great detail, this book will likely be somewhat of a disappointment as it was to me. More so than most books, a book like this one is likely to require the proper set of expectations in order to be fully enjoyed. Many contemporary histories like this one simply lack an interest in the historical questions that many readers and listeners are most interested in, and that leads to a great disconnect between the two, as people study what others simply do not greatly care about and that is indeed offensive and partisan in its approach.

In the March 4th municipal election, Santa Feans will have a chance to join the ranks of states and cities across the nation that have opted for Clean Elections public financing.
On the ballot is Charter Amendment 4, which if passed, would set in motion a process for establishing public financing before May 2010.
Albuquerque voters adopted Clean Elections in 2005 by a staggering 69% to 31% margin. The new system was employed successfully for the first time by candidates in last October's City Council elections.
An in-depth analysis of the Santa Fe charter amendment is in today's Santa Fe New Mexican. In it, newly elected Albuquerque City Councilor Rey Garduño nails the case for Clean Elections public financing:
"I support it because … no developer-driven, corporate-driven, money-driven, special-interest candidate can hold sway over someone else."
That concern should resonate with Santa Feans who find their quality of life under increasing assault by big developers and now Big Oil.
After a series of high-level corruption scandals, Arizona adopted Clean Elections public financing and used it for the first time in 2000. Governor Janet Napolitano was elected in 2002, and re-elected in 2006, using the system.
The state of New Mexico put in place public financing of campaigns for the Public Regulation Commission starting with the 2006 election. Last year, public financing for statewide judicial offices – the Supreme Court and Court of Appeals — was passed.
Clean Elections legislation for statewide executive offices was recommended by the state's Ethics Reform Task Force in 2007 and introduced in the House during the recently concluded legislative session (House Bill 564). Despite polling data showing 70% plus support for the reform, resistance from a bipartisan group of key legislative leaders succeeded in bottling the measure up in committee.
For more information on the Clean Elections fight, take a look at the Common Cause New Mexico website.
