He is an architect, poet, designer and a land art lover. He expresses his passion for creativity, gardens and anamorphose through his natural installation. François Abelanet -" the anamorphiste"- is became famous for his giant installations and he had gained the Guiness World Record in 2013 for the Truck de Ouf in Lyon.
Anamorphosis is the distorted use of the rules of perspective. This system was used from the Renaissance onwards in the art of painting gardens, to accentuate the optical effects linked to deformation, to modify the perception of space, and thus to capture the viewer's attention. Images deformed intentionally by anamorphosis only regain their original proportions if viewed from a specific angle. Thanks to collaboration with the Institut du monde arabe in Paris, a surprising plant anamorphosis by François Abélanet has come to Giarre: it takes the form of a sculpture made up of different-sized plant segments.

Donizetti's Olivo e Pasquale
Donizetti Festival, Bergamo, November 26 - December 23, 2016
Photographs by Rota Gianfranco, courtesy of the Fondazione Donizetti
Alan Jackson saw the performance on November 26 at the recently re-opened Teatro Sociale in Bergamo's "città alta" and has contributed the following.
Bergamo's second offering was the comedy Olivo e Pasquale (a review by Alan of one of their other offerings, Donizetti's Rosmonda d'Inghelterra can be found here). The slight plot tells of the brothers Olivo and Pasquale, the former bad-tempered and authoritarian, the latter easy-going and kind but ineffectual. Olivo plans to marry off his daughter Isabella to a French gentleman Monsieur Le Bross though she, unknown to Olivo, is in love with Camillo who works in Olivo's business. Le Bross turns out to be decent and renounces any claim on Isabella and with the help of the maid Matilde, servant Diego, another Italian merchant Columella, and a ruse to stage a mock double suicide, finally convinces Olivo to bless the union of Isabella and Camillo.
This production proved to be one of those near-perfect evenings that send the audience out on a cloud of elated contentment. Firstly, there was the discovery of a work known to me only through the Bongiovanni recording of the 1980 revival at Barga under Bruno Rigacci. Secondly, the singers were uniformly good with fresh young flexible voices. Thirdly they all looked their parts and could act. Fourthly there was just the sort of detailed direction that I missed in Rosmonda, so that each musical number was filled out with natural stage business that was always entertaining yet never overdone – if this wasn't the work of directorial team operAlchemica (Ugo Giacomazzi and Luigi Di Gangi) then the singers are geniuses. Fifthly, the stage looked delightful, brilliantly coloured costumes filling an acting area framed by a series of equally brilliantly coloured cut-out frames.
While it is obviously unfair to compare a recording with a staged performance, it seemed to be a different work. Which of course it was, as Bergamo used the Neapolitan version rather than the Roman original (both date from 1827). The main differences are: Camillo is now sung by a tenor rather than a mezzo-soprano, to the great benefit of dramatic realism; dialogue replaces recitative; the buffo Pasquale sings and speaks a good deal of Neapolitan dialect. There are a number of musical differences between the two scores. Some arias from the Rome score are cut and there is an extra one for Camillo in the Neapolitan score which alters the relative importance of these two tenors. There are also changes to the introduction and the Act I finale. This new Neapolitan version is no hack job but shows Donizetti revising with due care. As conductor Federico Maria Sardelli says in his programme essay "Donizetti belongs to that category of composers kissed by their Muse, those who, like Vivaldi, Telemann, Schubert, Mendelssohn, compose much and well".
Isabella's final Rondò seemed much more of a showpiece than on the CD (where it strikes me as a bit of a damp squib), but the programme essay makes no mention of changes here. Perhaps it is cut on the CD, I haven't been able to check. But the effect in the theatre was totally different with Laura Giordano's brilliant effortless singing rounding off the evening à la Cenerentola – the situation too is similar as Isabella, dressed in white for her wedding expresses her happiness as well as forgiving her now repentant father. The comparison with La Cenerentola is apt as that opera also has Jacopo Ferretti as librettist, and much in Donizetti's score reminded me of Rossini. In particular, the finale of Act I contains a concertato of typical imitative entries followed by a stretta of confusion reminiscent of those in La Cenerentola or L'italiana in Algeri. But it is not just Donizetti writing in the pervading Rossinian style, he is showing he can equal the older composer at the height of his comic powers.
Olivo is the one character treated as a caricature, almost a pantomime villain. Bruno Taddia relished the role, rightly keeping him over the top. The part is for a basso cantante while his brother Pasquale is a basso buffo. In comparison Filippo Morace was restrained, achieving his comic effects by the subtlety of his gestures. There were three admirable tenors, Pietro Adaino as Camillo, Matteo Macchioni as Le Bross and Edoardo Milletti as Columella. All have young fresh voices capable of encompassing Donizetti's sometimes florid writing and pinging their high notes. The cast was completed by the two servants, Silvia Beltrami as Matilde and Giovanni Romeo as Diego. All these artists kept produced fine comic acting under the inventive direction of operAlchemica without overstepping the mark into slapstick. Sets (including a ship's prow carrying Le Bross that arrived through the backdrop) and costumes were by Sara Sarzi Sartori, Daniela Bertuzzi and Arianna Delgado. Lighting was by Luigi Biondi. The musical edition was by Maria Chiara Bertieri. All deserve our thanks. Bergamo has restored a delightful piece and I don't think it was just the superb performance that made me think that here is a comic opera worthy to join L'elisir, La fille du régiment and Don Pasquale.

Investigating Spatial Dynamics of Isotope in Meteoric Precipitation
Mapping spatio-temporal distribution patterns of isotopic composition (O18, H2) in meteoric precipitation, and investigating their intrinsic connections with atmospheric circulation patterns in the United States.
Data Description
As part of the USNIP (United States Network for Isotopes in Precipitation) program, the precipitation data were collected weekly (roughly) at $77$ monitor sites across the United States for 1989-1994. The dataset includes observations of precipitation amount, sample volume, O18, H2, and deuterium excess values. Missing precipitation amount is filled according to precipitation volume, and when precipitation volume is also absent, it is filled with the average precipitation amount of the same month in the previous year at same sites. In this study, data collected at $76$ sites in the conterminous United States of the total $77$ sites are analysed.
*Preliminary results are added in the report.
Please check the report at http://www.cigi.uiuc.edu/guofeng/cigi/isotope/isotope.pdf for updated progress of this research.

WELLINGTON (MarketWatch) -- Telecom Corp. of New Zealand's (TEL.NZ) plans to spin off its fixed-line infrastructure unit Chorus now only need court approval before they are finalized after shareholders voted in favor of the plan earlier Wednesday.
Telecom announced the plan to spin off the unit earlier in the year, after it won a bid to build 70% of the government's nationwide broadband network.
The company said in a statement Wednesday that it would now move to finalize the demerger, via a court approved scheme of arrangement, by Nov. 30.
"We are very pleased to have received our shareholder' consent for this significant step, and Telecom's focus is now on the swift enactment of the split, along with ensuring both companies are well positioned as New Zealand moves into the fiber future," Telecom Chief Executive Paul Reynolds said.

Staggering and monumental.
This is a film that seems haunted by a sense of (national) guilt which just makes it even more affecting. Also, despite the specificity of the context, it feels both current and universal.
Firstly, the film is really ambitious covering a broad spectrum of issues around what it means to be human and live in a society. It's also brutally cognizant of the degree of hypocrisy that we are all responsible for – both individually and collectively. It repeatedly pits individual ideology against self-interest and the greater good. This all sounds rather bleak but the formal elements keep it from being merely a litany of miserable events piled up on top of each other. Plus, Kaji is a really well-written protagonist. He's both sympathetic and flawed in the way that most humans are. Several times in the course of the film, he trades in his ideals or at least the opportunity for nobility in the interest of pragmatism / his own goals.
I can see the film being criticized for being somewhat repetitive but at least for me, the repetition worked in that it reinforces the ideas that the film is trying to convey. It's mirrored by the repetition in the imagery of groups of people trudging through tough, barren landscapes hoping for a better future. Ultimately, despite the occasional heavy-handedness of the plot, I can't get these images off my mind.

Time Waster Turbo Charge
After my post yesterday about browsing 9gag.com, I decided I should make an even more efficient time waster. Way back in the day, I made an app called "lolz". But a lot has changed since then. Including the emergence of Imgur. Imgur is a service that hosts images for Reddit. And Reddit is the world's most efficient time waster.
Also, Imgur has a nice API, so access to the data seemed pretty easy. Thus, I bring you, the greatest time wasting app of ever.
Here's how I got started.
QML often uses a Model-View-Controller architecture built in. I found that I can take advantage of this by for my app because. Specifically, the imgur app optionally serves up XML. If you have the option to get XML, use it! It makes things go much faster.
So, the heart of the app as it exists today is my XmlListModel. An XmlListModel essentially turns XML into a list of objects or key/value pairs that other QML components can use. So, I made a model like this:
id: imagesXML;
query: "/data/item";
name: "imgURL";
query: "link/string()";
There are 2 parts, the first is the "query". This tells the model what types in the XML to look for. The picture from Imgur are "items" so I tell the model to look inside data tags for item tags.
The second part is a set of XmlRoles. XmlRoles convert the info in the Xml tags into key value pairs for other components to consume. So, I tell it to make a key called "imgURL" that is paired with value of whatever string is stored in the "link" tag. In the imgur API, "link" is a url that goes directly to the image.
But where does the XML come from? Typically, you would use the source property to point the XmlListModel to a url with xml. But this won't work with the imgur API because you need to set a header in the http request that includes your client idea for the API. Well, at least I couldn't figure out how to tell the XmlListModel to set a value in the header.
However, I didn't fret. Instead I used good old javascript XMLHttpRequest to get the XML, and then to set the xml property for the list model. So I made an init() function that runs when the app is ready.
function init()
var req = new XMLHttpRequest();
var location = "https://api.imgur.com/3/gallery/r/funny/time/1.xml";
req.open("GET", location, true);
req.setRequestHeader('Authorization', 'Client-ID xxxxxxxx');
req.onreadystatechange = function()
if (req.readyState == 4)
imagesXML.xml = req.responseText;
activityIndicator.running = false;
activityIndicator.visible = false;
imagesView.visible = true;
This function makes a request, and when it gets a response it sets the XmlListModel's xml property to the responseText. Again, this is very classic AJAXy programming. Then I do a few lines of setting the UI. You may notice that this includes making the imagesView visible. imagesView is the list view that I created to be the view for the model.
visible: false;
id: imagesView;
model: imagesXML;
orientation: Qt.Horizontal;
anchors.fill: parent;
delegate: MouseArea
height: parent.height;
width: root.width;
width: root.width;
height: parent.height;
fillMode: Image.PreserveAspectFit;
source: imgURL;
if(children[0].fillMode == Image.Pad)
children[0].fillMode = Image.PreserveAspectFit;
children[0].fillMode = Image.Pad;
A ListView has 2 key parts. The first part specifies the model for the view using the model property. Easy enough.
The second part is the "delegate". A delegate is the component that you create for each entry in the model. As you can see, I chose to make a MouseArea for each imgurURL. The MouseArea, in turn, contains an Image for displaying the image. The MouseArea is set up so I can do some interactions with the Image as desired. Currently, a tap toggles the Image between resizing to fit the size of the Image and displaying the Image at it's normal size.
The great thing about the ListView is that it is a Flickable. So I get the nice flicking behavior of scrolling the list left and right for free! The ListView does other key things, especially, loading the images on demand. It only loads the images when they are scrolled into view. This saves a lot of network and memory resources.
So, for the next features, I think I shall allow the user to choose a subreddit to browse.

AFL Live Adelaide Crows vs North Melbourne Kangaroos Stream AFL 2016 Seasons Qualifying Final match will be kick off at Adelaide Oval Stadium, North Adelaide, South Australia, Australia, Saturday 10 September 2016 online, 19.40 pm (AEDT) and its broadcast on Channel Seven, Foxtell.
AFL Live Streaming
Adelaide is coming in off their worst performance of the season when they couldn't stand up to West Coast in the last round despite being at home, going down by 29 points. Prior to that, they had won four in a row, but all against bottom ten sides, beating Essendon by 82, Brisbane by 138, Fremantle by 72 and Port by 15.
North lost four in a row on their way into September, all against their fellow finalists. They lost by 14 points to the Bulldogs, 39 points to Hawthorn, 9 points to Sydney, and 37 points to GWS. In these losses, they averaged only 61 points per game.
Both of these ruckmen have been appointed the number one All-Australian ruckman in the league at some stage in their careers, but their recent form has fallen a long way from those standards. Jacobs was embarrassed in Round 23 by West Coast journeyman Jonathon Giles, while Goldstein has been a shadow of himself in the second half of this season due to carrying a leg injury.
If either can recapture their best and give their side first use at the stoppages plus be a presence around the ground, they can shape the game. Goldstein is the more natural goal-kicker and will be looking to push forward, but Jacobs can make him accountable the other way.
After missing a week due to suspension, expect Rory Sloane to be back to his very 'angry' best this week. He nailed the Roos with 13 tackles when they met earlier this year and at $4.25, he's fresh and ready to make amends.
Tex Walker pulled down 10 marks against the Kangaroos in round 1 and even Jonno Patten took 9 against the Roos in round 23. Tex is paying $5 and should be leading from the front and pushing up the ground all night long.
Finally, finish your weekend with an easy triple your money bet with Matt Crouch. Matt who you ask?
Crouch has found the ball 30+ times in four of his last six games and even had 32 on the Roos earlier this year. He'll get the job done here and finish your weekend of finals footy on a high.
Adelaide has won five of the last seven matches between the sides, dating back to the start of 2013. The last six games have gone the way of the home side, with the Crows winning all three between these teams at Adelaide Oval.
Adelaide are +5% POT this season, and 64% ATS (ranked equal first in the league). The Crows have averaged 113 points per game in 2016. They are +15% POT at Adelaide Oval with 10 wins from 12 matches, and are 58% ATS at the venue.
North Melbourne are -13% POT in 2016, ranked 12th in the league. They are 50% ATS, with 64% of matches going under the total match points. North have won four of their eight interstate matches, at -33% POT and 50% ATS. They have lost their last three interstate matches, and four of their last five. The Roos have lost their last seven matches when starting $2 or greater.
It's hard to see this one going anything but the way of the home side. Adelaide got a reality check in the last round after a soft draw, and received a lesson in finals intensity. Expect them to learn from it.
North have struggled for the best part of three months now, and in reality are not one of the best eight teams in the competition. Their early season form has long since dissipated, and they don't have the class nor function to beat the top contenders.
Add in the unrest created by the Kangaroos off-field staff pensioning off veterans like Harvey, Petrie and Firrito, and the instability at North is not going to lead to finals wins.
Adelaide's best is free-flowing attacking footy to the most potent forward-line in the AFL, matched with defensive soundness which keeps the ball trapped in their forward half. North won't be able to match them, and can be expected to drop away late in the game once the result is a foregone conclusion.

As there has been much interest in seeing actual photos of their range I decided to post the pictures I have until the Official Gripping Beast site is launched.
These galleries are not the complete range of figures and due to poor lighting and camera they are not the best pictures in the world and they certainly don't do justice to the high level of painting, however they will give you an idea of the various models and posses.

The exact details of how the compensation process will work have yet to be clarified but the Government has said claims will be processed as quickly as possible and that savers should get their money back within weeks rather than months.
The first €20,887 (about £16,700) will be repaid by the Icelandic compensation scheme with the remainder, up to £50,000, paid by the FSCS here in the UK.
Some reports suggest that savers will not have to lodge a claim and that the FSCS will process everything automatically. However, we spoke to the FSCS this morning and they could not confirm that. They said that practical arrangements of how customers will be compensated have still to be finalised and that it hopes to publish further details for Icesave customers on its website by the close of business on Friday 10 October. It has also set up a dedicated help line for people to call: 0845 730 0131.
I've got more than £50,000 in an Icesave account. Will I get all my money back?
Yes. The FSCS gives 100% protection to the first £50,000 held with a savings provider. Under normal circumstances this would mean savers who have more than £50,000 with the same institution lose the amount above the cap. However, the Government has confirmed that in the case of Icesave customers, it is making an exception and that no one will lose any of their savings.
Again, we are still awaiting clarification on exactly what savers with more than £50,000 in their Icesave account should do, but the FSCS will arrange compensation for the first £50,000 and the Treasury will refund anything above that.
Will I get interest refunded?
This is one question we don't yet know the answer to. The FSCS has not confirmed whether or not Icesave customers will have interest refunded or whether they will get only their capital back. It is hoped that this issue will be addressed when it publishes more details tomorrow.
What about Isas?
There were concerns that savers who have a cash Isa with Icesave would lose the tax-free status of their money but the Treasury has stipulated that this is not the case. If you have a cash Isa with Icesave you will be able to reinvest the entire amount into an Isa with another provider and will not lose the tax break.
What's happened to Kaupthing Edge and Heritable Bank accounts?
The £3billion that is held by British savers in Kaupthing Edge - another Icelandic savings provider - and Heritable Bank - which was owned by the same bank as Icesave, Landsbanki - has been bought by ING, the Dutch banking giant. This means that most people with Heritable and Kaupthing accounts are now customers of its UK savings arm, ING Direct.
This is great news for these savers as it means their savings have now been secured and they will not have to claim their money through the FSCS, following the collapse of Kaupthing and Landsbanki. For more information, read our article ING Direct, from hero to zero and back again.
A minority of Kaupthing and Heritable accounts have not been bought by ING - these are non-internet savings accounts and savers with money in these products will have to claim through the FSCS. As with Icesave customers, the Government has confirmed that all money is safe - the first £50,000 will be repaid through the FSCS with the remainder being paid by the Treasury. This affects around 3,000 people who have accounts with Kaupthing Singer & Friedlander and 100 Heritable Bank customers.
I don't have an account with any of the Icelandic providers, but I'm really worried about the security of my savings. What should I do?
The Icelandic crisis has, not surprisingly, unnerved a lot of people. Fear can generate irrational behaviour, but there really is no need to panic.
Under the terms of the FSCS savings held with an FSA-registered provider are protected up to £50,000 (£100,000 for joint accounts). The fact that the Government has pledged to refund anything above that amount for Icesave customers suggests that it would do the same for other savers were another institution to run into the same problems. However, that is not guaranteed. It is therefore worth spreading your money around if you have more than £50,000 in savings.
The £50,000 protection applies per institution, not per account so you need to ensure that you diversify between different providers - you do not get double the cover if you have two accounts with the same institution. One thing you must watch out for though is providers that share the same FSA registration.
Halifax, Bank of Scotland, Birmingham Midshires and Intelligent Finance, for example are all part of the HBOS group. HBOS also provides the savings accounts for The AA and Saga. All of these brands share the same FSA registration which means that if you had savings accounts with Halifax and Birmingham Midshires only £50,000 would be protected. If on the other hand you had say a Halifax account and an HSBC account, you would have £100,000 of protection.
For more information on which institutions are part of the same group, read our article Who owns who?.
Is there any way I can protect all of my savings and have the money invested with the same provider?
Yes. National Savings & Investments (NS&I) and Northern Rock savings accounts offer total protection, regardless of the amount invested because both institutions are Government-backed. However, their rates are not the best. Northern Rock has withdrawn its leading deals while NS&I cut some of its rates earlier this week. The rate on its Cash Isa, for example, was cut from 4.6% to 4.4% but you can earn 6.67% with Natwest's Cash Isa.
Another option is to invest with an Irish provider as the Irish Government extended its compensation scheme last week - it is now offering a total guarantee on any deposits held by retail savers until September 28 2010. Anglo Irish Bank and Bank of Ireland, which runs the Post Office's savings accounts, both offer products for UK savers. However, despite the 100% protection, savers should still be wary about investing in Irish accounts as there is concern that, with so much money flowing into Ireland on the back of this guarantee, the Government wouldn't actually be able to afford to cover all deposits in the event of the Irish banking system collapsing.
Click here to compare rates on savings accounts.
What protection do I have with an offshore account?
Savers with money in offshore accounts are not protected by the FSCS, as it doesn't cover the Channel Islands. Instead, the protection you get is dependent on the compensation scheme that is in place in the island where your money is held. Jersey for example, doesn't have a compensation scheme, although it announced this week that residents would have their savings protected - but this means that UK savers with money offshore in a Jersey account don't have any cover.
The Isle of Man, on the other hand, does have a compensation scheme which would cover all British savers with money there. Currently, up to 75% of £20,000 is protected, but the Isle of Man Government has announced this week that this is rising to £50,000.
Some British savers have money invested with Landsbanki Guernsey and there is uncertainty as to whether they will get any of it back following the bank's collapse. Guernsey doesn't have a compensation scheme, although it is planning to introduce one later this year or early next - not that this will be any comfort to Landsbanki savers. And while the UK Government has said it will ensure no Icesave customer will lose money now Landsbanki has gone bust, it has not extended this guarantee to British savers with offshore Landsbanki accounts. It is clearly a very worrying time for these people and we have put a call into the Treasury to find out whether or not the Government will guarantee their savings. We will update you on the situation as soon as we receive clarification.

Christmas Tree Shop Sketchy Attempt Today..?
Submitted by BeardedLifter in Shoplifting
My third lift from this store but I have this place down pat. No cameras other than the cosmetics/hair products isles and the rest of the store is free. I swear on my casing the store day a while back I searched the place high and low. My second lift there, I heard a "code 311, John to the front please". But I fucking knew there was no way they got me on cam. Left with what I had without a problem even though I wasn't sure(error I know). Today was going for about $60 worth of shit. Went to a different spot to conceal and I mean, the exact second after I concealed I heard "Code 11 arch wall". So I immediately took the stuff back out and ditched it and left. It sketched me out hardcore. So now twice there's been some kind of code called over the intercom. First time no problem, today didn't wanna risk it. No way it's a coincidence. I don't think this store is very common so maybe some of you wont know what it is, but it's kind of like Home goods. But like a mixture of Homegoods and like a Rite Aid.

Honorable Mentions
J. Thomas Ganzer | @J_Thomas_Ganzer
Miranda says: Nice little werewolf tale. Left on a perfect cliff hanger for the reader to finish in their mind.
Keturah Lamb | @KeturahAbigail
Miranda says: I liked this piece as it was so different and made you think. I read it several times as I felt it had a lot to say about life.
Angora Shade | @AngoraShade
Miranda says: Nice concise piece imagining what it would be like to be in Witness Protection, with the end line giving us a taste of what had put the MC there.
Paul Piatt
Miranda says: This piece just flowed perfectly, the scene was clearly set, and the story unraveled in the dialogue. Clean and concise. Good little tale.
I shook out my towel and used it to wipe my face and rub my hair.
"Pretty rough out there, huh?"
I nodded at him. "Gnarly."
He looked like a perfect hitman. Average height, average build. Plain face, regular haircut. Khaki pants, right hand shoved in a blue windbreaker. Vanilla.
I hated him immediately.
"So, what's it up to?" I asked.
"What's what up to?"
"C'mon. We're both professionals. What's it up to?"
He considered me for a second. "One point two."
"One point two? That high? Nice."
"You've got him worried."
"He oughtta be, the fat prick."
I peeled my wetsuit down to my waist and toweled off my body.
"What's the proof? A million two, there's gotta be proof, right?"
He nodded.
"More than pictures?"
Another nod.
"Fingers? A hand?"
"Head," he mumbled.
I laughed. "My HEAD? He wants you to bring back my head?"
He nodded. "That's what he said."
I covered the distance between us in two big steps. I controlled his gun hand with my left and buried the polymer knife I carried in my wetsuit into his neck with my right. I rode him to the ground and watched his life spurt out on the cold sand. It was over in seconds.
"Let him worry."
Congratulations Winner Paul, and Honorable Mentions J. Thomas, Keturah, and Angora! Don't forget to claim your badges and display them with pride. You certainly earned it!

Other plans include door prizes, a sorting ceremony and classes straight out of Hogwart's School of Magic. Also, enjoy the library's version of Diagon Alley with imaginative games and other great Harry Potter stuff. Open to all ages – for more information, see the Library website, but watch out for those Dementors!

I find that I get a lot of comments and messages about using ASMR for anxiety, depression, and more. I can totally relate with that, and ASMR is an awesome outlet for those things. However, if you're interested, above is a link to a website with real, professional & licensed counselors. You can type to them, or call them! It's actually a really cool service and I use it personally. It costs as low as $35 a week, and you don't have to leave your house to use it. 🙂

(From the USD sports desk)
VERMILLION, S.D. – A 22-3 run in the second half carried the South Dakota men's basketball team to a 93-65 victory over Drake Wednesday night in Vermillion. The Coyotes improve to 8-3 on the season, and a perfect 4-0 inside the Sanford Coyote Sports Center, while Drake falls to 4-4.
Four Coyotes scored in double-digits led by Triston Simpson with 18 points, matching a career-high. Trey Burch-Manning added 17 points, Tyler Hagedorn 16 points and Matt Mooney 14 points as USD shot 56.9 percent from the field.
In a back-and-forth first half featuring 10 lead changes, South Dakota entered the locker room with a 47-43 lead. Midway through the second half, the Coyotes took control of the game utilizing the 22-3 run. South Dakota scored 27 points off 18 Drake turnovers, while dominating the paint with 40 points.
The Bulldogs tallied 24 points in the paint, but had just four in the second half. The Coyotes scored a season-high 11 treys in the contest and had 18 assists on 37-made field goals. Tyler Peterson had a career-best six assists. Burch-Manning nearly had a double-double as he tallied a game-high nine rebounds to go along with his 17 points.
South Dakota remains on its home floor with a 1 p.m. tipoff Sunday against Eastern Washington.

Meta-data analysis results in recommendation of "two-by-two" design
An article on the website of British publication Pharmaceutical Journal says a group of researchers have found that clinical drug trials with a single probability of treatment are inadequate. The scientists' report, in the American publication PLoS One, says these tests fall short especially in estimating the additional benefits that arise from such interactions and propose "the use of two-by-two blind trials, which randomise both treatment and behaviour by varying the probability of receiving active treatment across different participants. This allows the effects of treatment and behaviour, and the interaction between them, to be assessed."
They add that "some treatments can be more effective when patients alter behavioural patterns, such as exercise levels or food intake. And the impact of behavioural effects varies according to how strongly the patient believes that they are receiving the active treatment."
The Pharmaceutical Journal reports that the researchers, led by Sylvain Chassang, a professor of economics and public affairs at Princeton University conducted a meta-analysis of data from six blinded antidepressant trials in which participant-level data were available. The six trials included three for the selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitor paroxetine and three for the tricyclic imipramine. Three of the studies had a high probability of treatment (>65%).
"The results provide strong evidence that the belief that their condition is being treated affects the behaviour of trial participants; in this case, specifically the decision to drop out of a trial. In the case of paroxetine, but not imipramine, there was an interaction between treatment and behavioural changes that enhanced the effectiveness of the drug–patients who were more confident that they were being treated changed their behaviour in a way that made the drug more effective," the Journal says.
"These data show that standard blind trials can fail to account for the full value added when there are interactions between a treatment and behaviour," say the researchers. Known as the "Hawthorne effect," the phenomenon involves the motivations and behaviors of patients who know they are being observed.
The Pharmaceutical Journal article notes that "In their meta-analysis, the researchers highlight behavioural changes, 'whereby a patient's optimistic belief in the therapeutic benefit of a treatment may translate into a potentially observable change in their daily activity.'"
The writers of the paper concede, however, that placebo effects can manifest physiologically. "For example, in chronic pain, placebo effects involve activation of endogenous analgesic (opioidergic) mechanisms. In Parkinson's disease, they involve activation of the dopamine system. In both cases, placebos affect the molecular mechanisms targeted by pharmacological agents," says the Journal.
"In all these cases, two-by-two trials can help evaluate plausible interaction effects between treatment and the patient's physiological response to anticipation of treatment," the researchers write. "In addition, in a number of these domains, especially depression and pain, recent research has identified 'nocebo' effects. These effects are often associated with clinician comments that emphasise the side effects of treatments."
The researchers recommend strongly for obscuring from clinicians a patient's probability of treatment, as well as whether they will actually receive it, during two-by-two trials. In PLoS One, they note that "this ensures both types of trial participant are subject to the same emphasis on possible side effects in discussions with their doctor."

Imagine your life as a camera with a limited supply of memory. Each experience you have and thing you intake takes up space in your memory. The lens of the camera is how you view your life. If you have a negative outlook on life, negative things will happen to you. If you have a positive outlook, then positive things will happen to you. It is that simple!
A quote by Napoleon Hill,
"You are the master of your destiny. You can influence, direct and control your own environment. You can make your life what you want it to be."
Stop reading this RIGHT NOW and take a couple of moments to ask yourself truly, what do you want to be doing with your life? If you aren't doing what you LOVE to do then stop and reevaluate your life for a minute.
I understand if you have been working a job, for years or you have different circumstances but honestly what is holding you back? The fear of failing? Stop making excuses.
"We only get to play this game one time…one life." – Gary Vaynerchuk
You were put on this earth for a reason, everybody was. So do what you love and don't look back.
Recently, I have been taking my own steps forward in my life to following and doing what I love to do. Before I was doing things that I wasn't sincerely passionate about, and I didn't get anywhere. I learned a lot from my previous experiences, but I will talk about that in future posts. However, now I have finally been taking action in following my dreams. My lens on my camera of life has changed, and I now believe that I am the master of my destiny. You should too.
At the end of your life, what is your camera of the snapshot of your life going to hold regret, settling, not doing what you love, or happiness, success, and following your dreams? The choice is yours.

What we asked
We reached out to the local candidates for the state senate and state house races via our editorial page and asked them:
1.) There has been a lot of discussion the past year about the economic situation in Connecticut. For the Democrats, since they hold the governor's office and the General Assembly, what things have been done and are in the pipeline that have improved or will improve the situation and how would you push the efforts even further? And for the Republicans, what has been done incorrectly and if the Republicans take the majority in Hartford, what would you do to improve the state's economic situation?
2.) The past few months has seen discussion about property tax reform in Connecticut—with the Connecticut Conference of Municipalities putting its weight behind reform. First of all, do you think the state is in need of reform… secondly, why do you feel that way and if what can be done if change is needed.
3.) Aside from the above questions, what do you see as the single biggest issue facing the state in the next two years and how would you like it addressed?
Whit Betts
78th District
1.) After 5 1/2 years of one party control taxpayers, businesses, and municipalities have clearly lost confidence in the ability of Gov. Dannel Malloy and Democrat legislators to balance our state budget.
Validating this point are budget projections of a $3 billion deficit for the next two years. This projection follows two consecutive years of the state budget ending the fiscal years with deficits totaling more than $200 million.
One of the Democrat responses to these deficits was to impose on all of us two of the largest tax increases in the history of Connecticut.
Combine the state fiscal budget crisis with the adoption of numerous anti-business laws and regulations and we now understand the reasons for our state losing thousands of jobs and for the dramatic decline in income tax revenue to the state budget.
If in the majority, I would advocate reducing high cost items in the state budget (i.e.. deputy commissioners, high cost managers,), re-negotiate
terms of state labor contracts, outsource some state services and programs to the private sector, and placing a cap on bonding.
Producing a stable and dependable state budget, combined with policies that are support businesses could lead to the growth of jobs and income tax revenue from the private sector.
2.) Yes, there is a need to reform our property tax system. However, the heavy dependence on property taxes could be substantially relieved if the state suspended or eliminated some unfunded mandates imposed on businesses, municipalities, schools, nursing homes, and hospitals.
The financial savings achieved by mandate relief could significantly lower expenses in the budgets of the groups mentioned above, and a portion of the savings could be used to purchase items for capitol projects that may yield additional property tax revenue.
3.) Job growth in the private sector. The great reputation and prosperity our state had back in the 1980s was based on the fact that many large companies – and thousands of their employees – "wanted" to work and live in Connecticut.
Achieving job growth is vital, and meeting this goal will create buyers for our homes, more income to the local and state budgets, and create the momentum needed to make our state an attractive place to live and work.
Krystal Myers
78th District
1.) In order to improve the economic situation in Connecticut, the General Assembly must work in a bi-partisan manner to find solutions that make it easier for small businesses to continue to thrive and expand here. As a lifelong resident of Bristol, my commitment to our community and state is unwavering, and I will work with both parties to move our community as a whole toward a prosperous future. The General Assembly needs to work harder to maintain quality jobs that we currently have in Connecticut, including the thousands of jobs at Sikorsky, Pratt & Whitney, and Electric Boat. We must do more to attract new businesses and employees to our state. Connecticut must invest in our educational system to prepare our students for an expanded job market, which will attract new employers into Connecticut.
2.) Property tax reform in Connecticut is desperately needed. Property taxes continue to go up while social security and employee wages remain stagnant. Our seniors should not have to choose between keeping their home and their medications or putting food on the table. Once elected, I will work tirelessly to change this. Bristol and Plymouth have been short changed by the State of Connecticut for far too long. Connecticut's state government is not living up to its end of the bargain when it comes to municipal and educational aid. I will fight to bolster education dollars and municipal aid back into our district, which will directly help with property taxes.
3.) The single biggest issue facing our state in the next two years will be to maintain and create a thriving workforce. At the same time, we must ensure that every student here receives the quality education they deserve in order to prepare them for a future career in Connecticut.
In order to maintain and create new good paying jobs, Connecticut must foster its efforts in assisting small and medium sized businesses. As state representative, I will spearhead— with my colleagues—legislation to reduce unnecessary burdens on small businesses and entrepreneurs by working to eliminate burdens that restrict our businesses on expanding by revaluating permitting time, and improving how state agencies can work together.
We must also continue to invest in our schools, and support our teachers to ensure that every child receives a quality education. Providing the proper training for the future so that students can adapt toward employment begins with universal pre-K, continues with a properly balanced public education system, and concludes with giving each student the opportunity to attend a college that is affordable, or enter the workforce prepared and well trained. I will fight for continuing support to increase funding for education in our community.

Friday 21st December
There is a shop in Walton called 'Guns, Fun & Camouflage' and never was a shop so inappropriately named. It actually specializes in air-rifles, and ex-army clothing and fishing gear but the linking of Gun and Fun seemed shocking to my mind even before the Sandy Hook massacre.
There has been a bit of a backlash in America too, the home of the Gun, over this latest abomination. Obama trying to reach even a modicum of consensus with the Gun Lobby; shares in Smith & Wesson falling and Republican Senators falling over themselves to condemn lax Gun control. But I suspect that very little will ever change.
Americans have a totally different concept of Freedom than Europeans. In America it is the Freedom of the Individual to – well actually to do whatever their money and power will buy, and let no man stand in their way. In Europe we realise that the Freedom of the Individual must be tempered by the Freedom of the rest of us, let us call it Society (sorry Maggie – but it does exist). I am all for Individual Freedom, so long as the exercising of that Freedom does not impinge on or deny anyone else's Freedom. And that line which one draws is a constantly shifting and wavering one, as the pendulum swings between how much Freedom the individual is allowed and how much should be controlled by everyone else. But in America not only is it considered absolutely a right (not entirely covered by the constitution) but almost an obligation as an American to be able to defend (by owning a Gun) himself and his family from lunatics who are stupid enough to be carrying a Gun.
Almost as stupid as the argument that in order to deter potential Nuclear Attack we must have an even bigger and deadlier Nuclear Arsenal in order to beat the shit out of them too if they dare to annilihate us.
Grow up, the lot of you. Guns are for killing, so stop using them unless you want to wind up dead too.

The Hindu, Sunday Magazine, Feb 15, 2015
Fewer than a dozen hands went up when I asked a room of over 500 Mumbai college girls how many did not have a mobile phone. Given the growing belief that technology, as represented by the many functions of a mobile phone, whether it would
aid the cause of women's safety?
For instance, within a month of the Delhi gang rape in December 2012, a "women's safety" app named "Nirbhaya" was launched. Since then dozens of such apps have been launched around the country. The latest is "Himmat" by the Delhi police, billed as the first integrated women's safety app in India.
Given the increasing rate of rape and sexual assault on women, including minors, will these technological interventions make any difference to women's lives? Delhi and Mumbai have also been promised thousands of closed-circuit cameras in public places to enhance women's safety.
Will Indian women be safer with the government watching over them through closed-circuit cameras and through safety apps on mobile phones? I think not. For no app, no matter how smart or effective, can substitute for the many steps that need to be taken to make women feel secure. Principally, this involves changing a culture where attacking and sexually abusing women is acceptable.
Within the range of apps now available — with names like SmartShehar, VithU, BSafe, Raksha — the majority merely facilitate a quick call for help to the police and/or to relatives/friends in the event of an attack. A woman fearing an attack or when actually attacked (although how a woman surrounded by several men can grab her phone and use the app is anyone's guess) is expected to be saved by the app. Designers of these apps are selling the belief that these apps will enhance women's safety.
That, in fact, is the problem with the apps. For they create the illusion of safety and security without an understanding of the wider context of the persisting lack of safety for women. The conversation around them also fails to accept the reality of class. Apps are available to women with smartphones; these are owned only by 13 per cent of our total population (although there are an estimated 900 million mobile phone connections). And they exclude women without phones or with ordinary phones.
Secondly, these apps can work only if the official state machinery is responsive. Even the single numbers (103, 100) for distress calls do not produce a quick response, or indeed any response. Police apathy, whether you approach a police station or call a number, is virtually a given. Until this changes, the efficacy of any app is greatly limited.
Far more effective is to use technology not just to "protect" women, or give them an easy way to seek help, but to involve them in the process of understanding the issues of safety and danger, and become active participants. An app called SafetiPin, for instance, attempts to do that through its mapping tool. Women can pinpoint areas that they consider unsafe, put down reasons (for instance, dark corners or poor lighting) as well as seek help. An interactive app of this kind allows women to check their surroundings and also encourages them to add to the database so that others are helped. But, ultimately, even this information can make a difference only if the law enforcing machinery and city authorities act on it.
The good news is that women are using mobile technology to help themselves. There are several recent examples. The woman raped in an Uber cab in Delhi photographed the license plate of the cab on her phone, thereby assisting the police to track down the rapist. A young woman on a flight to Bhubaneswar shamed the middle-aged businessman in the seat behind her who tried to grope her by filming him, putting the clips out on YouTube and filing a complaint with the police. Well-known anti-trafficking activist Sunitha Krishnan has circulated an edited version of a shocking video of a gang rape by five men that has been on Whatsapp for some time. She has launched a Twitter campaign #ShameTheRapistCampaign urging people to find and identify the five men seen laughing away as they torture and rape a woman.
New technologies, like smartphones, are empowering and give women considerable autonomy. But in themselves, even if they are loaded with the most efficient apps, they cannot alter the reality of the dangers that women face in the public and private space. The onus should not be put on women to use such technology to keep themselves safe. Technology helps if the state does its job of dealing with crime, and society refuses to be complacent and accept sexual assault as just another crime.

Pete Kaiser – 2015 Kuskokwim 300 Champion!

A Dream Come True!
Pete Kaiser grew up on the runners of a sled dreaming of the day when he might run in the Kuskokwim 300. As time went on he entered and won the other two races of the Kuskokwim 300 Trifecta- The Akiak Dash and the Bogus Creek 150.
Pete's Win today puts him in a class by himself.
1) First Triple Crown Winner (Akiak Dash – Bogus Creek 150 – Kuskokwim 300)
2) First Local Born Winner
He is also the first Local Musher to win the Kuskokwim 300 in 29 years to Win. The last local Champion was Myron Angstman himself in 1986.
Pete offers his congratulations to all of his supporters, both Corporate and Personal. This Win he shares with all of you that make it possible for him to pursue his dreams.
Go Team Kaiser! (Now if you'll pardon me for a bit- I haven't slept since yesterday, so it's NAP TIME and then I'll get the finish photos and videos)
Time to Gear Up! Head on Down!
It's looking like a 5:15 finish or so. Head on down to the River if you are here. If not, try the KYUK Stream. I am not sure if they are going Live this year.
Go Team Kaiser!!
Tales from the Trail – 15 Minute Lead at Kwethluk
Just off the phone with Jenn Peeks. She was at the Kwethluk Checkpoint when Pete and the Team came through. 15 minutes is the number! Team looked excellent and a bit more spunky that Rohn Buser's Team. No official time yet, but a good lead is being built up. It's a nice trail in from Kwethluk and we should see a finish just after 5am.
Last Checkpoint in Sight! Kwethluk and then Mush on Home!
Pete and the Team are doing a fine job on this last section of the Trail. What is really interesting is his trail time- It's virtually identical to his time going outbound!!
Team Kaiser took about 1 hour 20 minutes between Kwethluk and Akiak on the way up and have almost the same time on the way down. This type of speed over long distances will really pay out in the Iditarod, and for the Kusko it really is helping as well.
This has to be such a thrill and I am sure Pete and the Team are very excited. I also know, that of virtually everone I know, Pete keeps an "eye on the prize" so to speak and is very focused on running a fast clean race and keeping everyone behind him. We have seen this time and time again where he will stick to a game plan and keep the battle going until the end.
This isn't the first race he has led, and that leader experience is paying dividends now– Don't get too excited, let's just finish this thing!
The race is far from over and Rohn and Jeff are still just on Pete's heels, but he is holding them off at this point. I am thinking a Race finish between 5:15 and 6:00am at this point.
My analytics shows that a multitude of Team Kaiser Race Fans are tuned in! Thank You for showing your support for this fine young musher! Go Team GO! Go Team Kaiser!!
Go Pete Go! Go Team Go!
It was thought that a person could catch a catnap to ready for the finish line…
That's hardly an option!!
Mr. Kaiser and his Team are now leading the 2015 Kuskokwim 300! Rohn Buser is not giving up without a fight and the two young men and their Teams are battling away as Jeff King maintains his 3rd position about 3 miles behind them. Not far behind Jeff, Tony Browning lies awaiting as well in 4th position. As the three teams pass in front of Akiak, the drama continues on the Kuskokwim. The Finish is going to be a barn burner with 6 Teams coming across in under an hour. I figure the Winner will cross between 5 and 6am at this point.
We are all on the edge of our seats! Join Us! Go Pete Go!!
The battle is hardly over as we have 3 hours of racing in front of us!
Go Team Kaiser!
And We Wait…. Go Pete GO!!
As Pete said in his KYUK Interview and also in our Pre-Race Interview. The Team will go as fast as its able and that will be that. For those of us watching the Tracker though, well, that's easier said than done.
The next 5 to 6 hours will go pretty slow for us as we see the race unfold. The top six teams are within an hour of the leader!
Both Rohn and Pete are now back on the trail and, in a short bit, will be joined by Jeff King.
This, Folks, is why we are all here! It's really not who wins or loses, it's seeing the action and feeling the excitement! Enjoy it as it doesn't get better than this. So many times there is a sure winner. That's never this much fun!
I think back, just last year, when Jeff King himself had to scratch at SAFETY in the Iditarod! Anything can happen in this last 50 miles so enjoy the ride! It's going to be a fun one!!
The story line is great as the reigning Champ is followed closely by the Hometown favorite, but never much out of the reach of the wise old fox, Jeff King.
I'm putting my money on Team Kaiser! Go Pete GO!!

These selected paragraphs distill the contents and give you a quick look inside A Thousand Miles in the Rob Roy Canoe on Rivers and Lakes of Europe:Look inside the book: In the wildest parts of the best rivers the channel is too narrow for oars, or, if wide, it is too shallow for a row-boat, and the tortuous passages, the rocks and banks, the weeds and snags, the milldams, barriers, fallen trees, rapids, whirlpools, and waterfalls that constantly occur on a river winding among hills, make those very parts where the scenery is wildest and best to be quite unapproachable in an open boat, for it would be swamped by the sharp waves, or upset over the sunken rocks which it is utterly impossible for a steersman to see. ...Again, the canoe is safer than a rowing-boat, because you sit so low in it, and never require to shift your place or lose hold of the paddle, while for comfort during long hours, for days and weeks of hard work, it is evidently the best, because you lean all the time against a backboard, and the moment you rest the paddle on your lap you are as much at ease as in an arm-chair, so that, while drifting along with the current or the wind, you can gaze around, and eat or read or chat with the starers on the bank, and yet, in a moment of sudden danger, the hands are at once on the faithful paddle ready for action. Finally, you can lie at full length in the canoe, with the sail as an awning for the sun, or a shelter for rain, and you can sleep in it thus at night, under cover, with an opening for air to leeward, and at least as much room for turning in your bed as sufficed for the great Duke of Wellington, or, if you are tired of the water for a time, you can leave your boat at an inn-it will not be 'eating its head off,' like a horse, or you can send it home or sell it, and take to the road yourself, or sink into the dull old cushions of the 'Premire Classe,' and dream you are seeing the world.
