Swaffham girls battle well
PUBLISHED: 13:46 05 March 2008 | UPDATED: 10:47 08 July 2010
THE very first girls' U15 match to be played at Swaffham's North Pickenham Road ground saw an amalgamation of mainly Swaffham and Holt girls take on the might of Basford.
THE very first girls' U15 match to be played at Swaffham's North Pickenham Road ground saw an amalgamation of mainly Swaffham and Holt girls take on the might of Basford.
This was the first competitive match for some of the 'Swaffholt' girls against a well-established side amalgamated from the Basildon and Rochford clubs.
From the kick-off Swaffholt were soon into their stride showing no fear of their well-drilled opponents and from good work in the backs and strong support from the forwards they were first to score, Emily being driven over in the corner to claim the touchdown.
Basford replied with a try of their own and then only failed to score more points due to Swaffholt's organised defence and strong tackling.
Katie fed Charlie, who saw the space in front of her, held off the tackler long enough to feed Leslie who ran half the length of the pitch to score Swaffholt's second try.
Sometime during this phase of play Basford lost another player to injury and this prompted their coach to request the rest of the game to be played with 11 players a side and uncontested scrums.
This proved to be the turning point of the match, negating Swaffholt's obvious supremacy in the set-piece and allowing Basford's stronger players to play in the backs resulting in several miss-matches which they soon turned into points, scoring a further four tries without reply while Swaffholt experimented with several less experienced players, the final score being 25-10 to Basford.
Katie Parke (Swaffham) was named as girl of the game.

Volunteer Opportunity
Interested in Volunteering for the 2020 American Eel Migration Project? This is CURB's 7th year of participation in this research program organized by the NY State Department of Environmental Conservation. CURB is one of 15 sites located along the Hudson River that will be sampling for eels using a fyke nest stationed in their marsh. American eels migrate from the Sargasso Sea (where they are born) to the Hudson River in search of freshwater tributaries. They typically arrive in late February as glass eels (1 yr old American eels), and the migration continues through May. This program was developed in order to track the population of American eels in the Hudson River.
Volunteers assist staff with their daily eel counts on afternoons on Tuesdays through Thursdays from 3:30-4:30pm and Fridays from 2-3pm. Sampling includes wading out to the fyke net in waders, emptying the net into a bucket, counting and weighing the glass eels, and collecting weather and water quality data. The entire sampling process takes about an hour to complete. Volunteers must be ages 14+. Typically volunteers will choose one day per week and then come in on that day throughout the duration of the project (13 weeks). All equipment (waders, gloves, etc.) is provided. FREE. For more info or to sign-up, contact Outreach Coordinator Jason Muller at email@example.com. More info about being a volunteer HERE. CURB is on the riverfront at 35 Alexander St, one block north of the Yonkers train station.

Israeli fighter pilots attacked at least two sites belonging to the Iranian Quds Force in Syria on Sunday, reportedly for the second time in less than 24 hours.
We have started striking Iranian Quds targets in Syrian territory. We warn the Syrian Armed Forces against attempting to harm Israeli forces or territory.
— Israel Defense Forces (@IDF) January 20, 2019
The air strike, carried out Sunday night, came in response to a missile attack earlier in the day, aimed at the Golan Heights from Syria. Israel's Iron Dome anti-missile aerial defense system intercepted the missile.
The Syrian missile was fired at Israel after an air strike — presumably by Israel — was aimed at two sites, one near Damascus airport and a second site near al-Kiswah, both identified as weapons depots linked to the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps. Syria blamed Israel for the initial attack as well, although the IDF made no comment.
"We have a permanent policy: To strike at the Iranian entrenchment in Syria and hurt whoever tries to hurt us," Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu subsequently said in a comment on the situation when asked about the attack by reporters during his visit to Chad earlier in the day.
"This policy does not change whether I am in Israel or on an historic visit to Chad. This policy is permanent."
Shortly after Israeli Air Force pilots carried out the second attack, the IDF announced the ski resort at Mount Hermon would be closed to visitors on Monday. Israelis living in the Golan Heights, however, were told to continue their usual routine, unless they received further instructions from Home Front Command.

Great Product, Great Customer Support
Main Point -- I highly recommend Jitterbit to anyone who needs to integrate with NetSuite. It's fast, easy, and the support you get is second-to-none. Background --- I am a Middleware Engineer and have been using Jitterbit for about 2 years to integrate NetSuite, SalesForce, and postgres databases. Reasons for Recommendation --- Ease of Use - After the initial implementation of a project (which took about a month), I am now able to use what I learned and deploy new projects within 2 weeks. On average, a week (to give time for testing). Customer Support - If ever I get stuck or if there is a bug, I contact support immediately. This is because I know they are willing to jump on a call and jump on a web conference to get to the bottom of any issue I may have. At my company, I'm the only guy who does these integrations, but with Jitterbit support, I feel like I am part of a team. Flexibility - I don't just use Jitterbit for integrations; I use it for other projects as well. Big example, I need to create deep-copies of data in the postgres database. These rows will have many associations, and those associations will have associations, etc. With Jitterbit, I can easily create deep-copies of the data, easier than I used to with pure coding. Constant Improvements - The biggest improvement I have seen is Jitterbit's ability to use NetSuite saved searches to grab data. This allows the business side to generate the exact data they want to integrate.

The grant will enable Elizabeth to travel to northern India and Nepal to visit sites significant in the life of the Buddha and the history of the Indian Buddhist tradition. The goal of this project is to deepen her understanding of the early Indian Buddhist tradition while observing and experiencing the phenomenon of contemporary global Buddhist pilgrimage. The experience will enhance the full range of the classes she teaches in Asian religions.
NEH Enduring Questions grant for course development
Middlebury College was recently awarded a grant from the Enduring Questions program of the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), which will enable development and implementation of a sophomore-level course focused on the enduring question "What is the good life and how do I live it?". The grant leadership team consists of Patricia Zupan (Italian), Brett Millier (English and American Literatures), Deborah Evans (American Studies), and Jonathan Miller-Lan (Education Studies). Campus-wide discussion about the sophomore-year experience contributed to the evolution of this project; the new Commons-based course will be taught at least twice during each of the next three years by the four project leaders as well as by other faculty who will participate in developing the common syllabus. A testament to the efforts of the project leaders is the fact that NEH has posted a copy of Middlebury's proposal on the Enduring Questions website as one of the samples that this year's applicants may want to consult. http://www.neh.gov/files/grants/middlebury_college_course_on_what_is_the_goiod_life.pdf
Susan Watson receives NSF grant
Susan Watson(Physics) and collaborators at Harvard University have been awarded a grant from the National Science Foundation's Physics at the Information Frontier (PIF) program to conduct research in the field of quantum information processing, in which the unusual features of quantum physics are harnessed to allow the rapid encoding and manipulation of information. The team of researchers will exploit the unique properties of carbon nanotubes, which are themselves newly understood and are a forefront area of fundamental physics, to create and investigate quantum bits – the fundamental building blocks of quantum computation. Over the course of three years, at least 6 undergraduates will be involved in this research effort. Project title: Carbon-based long-coherence quantum bit.
Major Equipment Grant for Lake Research
The National Science Foundation has awarded a Major Research Instrumentation grant to Middlebury College for acquisition of an integrated system of instrumentation to be used in lake-studies research conducted by faculty and students.
Under the direction of geology professors Patricia Manley and Thomas Manley, this grant will fund purchase of a multi-beam sonar system and an acoustic Doppler current profiler.
This equipment will be mounted on the College's new research vessel, currently under construction, but can be transferrable for use by other vessels in the region. This new system will expand the range of research and curricular projects on Lake Champlain, involving other members of the geology department as well as faculty in biology and environmental chemistry

WELL, THE OLD game show is back, and Julie Elrod, who owns the American Academy of Martial Arts with her husband, Ron, is being featured in an episode of "To Tell the Truth."
For those not familiar with the original, the show features three people - one with a real claim to fame and two imposters who try to pass themselves off as that person. A panel of celebrities asks questions and tries to smoke out the imposters.
The imposters can lie, but the "real" person must tell the truth. Elrod, one of the highest ranking Ninja women in the country, will be the one who has to tell the truth.
"It should be kind of fun," she said.
Elrod had applied to be on "Survivor," the reality show that was such a huge hit during the summer. She didn't make the cut for that show, but one of her martial arts students sent the video Elrod has made for "Survivor" to "To Tell the Truth."
"They liked the concept that I was a Ninja mom," said Elrod, mother of Wyatt, 11, and Cami, 9.
When contacted last week, Elrod said she was being flown to California on Friday to tape the show at NBC studios in Burbank. She was to return today. She did not know when the show will air.
Elrod discovered Ninja, a 900-year-old martial art from Japan, when she took a class in college. Many years later, she is writing and publishing a series of children's books that will focus on the moral aspects of martial arts. The books will be sold at martial arts centers across the country, she said. The Academy of Martial Arts on Route 108 is one of the largest Ninjutsu schools in the world, Elrod said, with 460 students, most from Ellicott City.
'Nutcracker on Ice'
"Nutcracker on Ice," put on by the Columbia Figure Skating Club at the Columbia Ice Rink on Thunderhill Road, has become a fun local holiday tradition. This year, the show will be at 4:45 p.m. and 6 p.m. Dec. 10 and 17.
More than 100 skaters, including about 85 children, will perform. Nearly all are from Howard County.
Skaters from Ellicott City and Elkridge include Anna Maria Baker, Kelly Balkin, Allison Barber, Megan Burleigh, Laura Burrows, Stephanie Burrows, Brendan Carr, Caitlin Carr, Lisa Caton, Sophia Chien, Beth Davidson, Laura Dattaro, Sarah Eddy, Meryl Eddy, Stephen Eddy.
Also, Sarah Franks, Beth Hackman, Amy Jordan, Katherine Khatibi, Alexandra Klinedinst, Erica Koenig, Tara Messing, Erin Maskell, Laura Maskell, Katie Penyak, Amanda Pleasant, Jessica Rohrer, Russ Rzemien, Sara Shirvan, Samantha Tomarchio, Julie Tsai, Ashley Virtue, Catherine Wisniewski and Ellen Woodcock.
Tickets are $6.50. Children to age 3 get in free. Information: Donna Burrows, 410-461-9948, or Beth Dattaro, 410-799-5356.

Barnet Council is one of six London boroughs to win grant funding for green spaces in the Mayor of London's new Green Capital grant.
Barnet Council has been awarded £324,000 to help renovate Silkstream Valley parks, Silkstream Park and Montrose Playing Fields. The development of these green spaces will include two new playgrounds, new facilities for sports such as basketball, parkour and tennis, a café, events spaces and more.
In a separate development, Barnet Council was also awarded funding of nearly £80,000 from the Environment Agency Water Environment Improvement Fund to go towards the river restoration element of the Silk Stream & Montrose Parks project.
As well as providing new facilities, the improvements will also supplement the environment. The developments will reduce risk of flood from River Brent by naturalising the river banks, along with tree planting and wildlife habitats, all of which will also encourage increased biodiversity.
The bids for both sets of funding were developed and submitted by landscape architect, Jon Sheaff, on behalf of Regional Enterprise Ltd, Barnet Council's joint venture with Capita.
Chairman of the Environment Committee, Councillor Dean Cohen, said: "We're thrilled to be chosen as one of the six boroughs to receive a share of this grant.
"We're excited to use this opportunity to do our part in the wider scheme of improving London's environment, as well as giving Barnet's residents and visitors more facilities to enjoy."
"We're also delighted to have received separate, additional funding from the Environment Agency – funding that will play a huge part in helping to renovate two of our parks."

We've pedalled well into 2019 now and after the somewhat pain staking process of heading back to work, it's time to start thinking about our goals for the year. One of your New Year's resolutions might be to improve your health, exercise more, or get back on your bike, but sticking to it might not be so easy.
Here at The Bicycle Hub we want to give you a hand getting back on the saddle, so we've put together a list of all the reasons of how cycling can improve your health in 2019…
Many of us simply don't have the time to take on extra activities like going to the gym or to fitness classes. Whether it's work, children or a different aspect of life holding you back, it's important to find a type of exercise that works in your schedule.
Many of us have a commute that could easily be cycled, and if you're driving through a town in rush hour you might even beat the standstill queues. Plus, if you usually walk to work, you'll get there faster! By cycling to work, you're not only getting in some exercise but also reducing your carbon footprint and not producing the pollution that you would driving a car.
If you don't have a commute that can easily be cycled, it's quite easy to get out on a bike if you can find a spare half an hour. The NHS recommends that we do 150 minutes of aerobic exercise a week, so you can always try getting out for 30 minutes every weekday or just 22 minutes if you want to get out 7 days a week.
Cycling is best done outdoors and spending some time outside every day is proven to be great for your physical health. Fresh air helps clear your airways and clean your lungs, and it can also help you digest food more effectively, improve blood pressure and strengthen the immune system. Fresh air is also great for your mental health and can give you more energy. Research shows that being surrounded by nature increases energy in 90% of people.
The average person burns 450 to 750 calories per hour of cycling, so if you're aiming to head out for just 30 minutes every day you can burn over 200 extra calories. If your New Year's resolution is all about shifting the pounds then cycling is a great, low impact way to do that. To know that you're riding at the right pace, you should aim for the kind of speed that leaves you out of breath but still able to have a conversation. The best bit about burning extra calories is that, if you're not looking to lose weight, you can enjoy more guilt-free snacks!
Alongside burning calories through cycling, you're bound to build some muscle and tone up. Your quads, glutes and calf muscles are all going to get stronger, and if you frequently stand in the saddle, your arms and shoulders should get a good workout too. The more muscle mass you build, the easier it is to burn fat too.
Getting a good night's sleep is essential because sleep and health are closely related. Our bodies need a well-deserved rest, so they can conserve energy, slow down our heart rate and breathing and regulate our temperatures. It's recommended that adults need around 8 hours each night, and cycling can help you hit that target.
Physical activity is tiring and if you're tired at the end of the day you're naturally more likely to get to sleep quickly, but scientists have suggested another reason behind the fact that exercise helps you sleep better. The reduction in anxiety that exercise facilitates can also help you sleep as anxiety is one of the main causes of insomnia. Exercise also helps you avoid weight gain with age, which is another form of sleep dysfunction as it can cause sleep apnoea.
Reducing anxiety isn't the only way that cycling can help to improve your mental wellbeing. Almost every form of exercise causes the release of adrenalin and endorphins, which boosts your mood. If you're new to cycling, it can also boost your self-esteem as this often comes with trying new things.
Another thing that can come with cycling is an increased social circle which improves confidence and increases happiness. It's not only a great way to get the family out and about, you can become a member of the Cycling UK Member Group. We even have a group in the local area called the Cheltenham CTC.

Bringing another post into "Architecture I like" and this time, I'd like to highlight Oslo opera house. This contemporary building in the center of Oslo is significant due to its interesting structure as an iceberg. The roof of the building consists of angles leading up to a large plaza where people can enjoy the panoramic views of Oslo. The building is beautifully crafted with marbles and showcase the minimalist and modern designs of Nordic country.

Someone Knows My Name
Author: Lawrence Hill
Year: 2007
Genre: Historical Fiction
Rating: 1
Oh, 2007. What a good year for the literary world.
Told in stunning and heartbreaking detail, Someone Knows My Name is a beautiful story of a young African woman ripped from her homeland and forced into slavery. Although this topic is a common enough one, Lawrence Hill takes a different angle: Aminata, or Meena, is a Black Loyalist. Hill portrays a beautiful story in an impeccably written format, giving us a treasure to enjoy no matter how many times we read it.
The story begins in the tiny African village of Bayo, where Aminata lived with her parents happily. She is the daughter of two different tribes, and because her parents learned different languages, Aminata is able to speak both Fula and Bamanankan. She often accompanies her mother to different villages in her profession of midwifery, and on one such occasion, tragedy struck. Aminata is kidnapped and taken to the coast in a long, horror-filled march.
She boards a boat for the terrible crossing to America, the description of which is covered in mud, darkness, blood, and despair. During this time, we see Aminata's gentle innocence slowly disappear, and she speaks with a clear, mature voice throughout the entire book. Aminata is greatly wronged throughout the story; her first child is stolen and sold after only a few months of nursing, and her husband is perpetually lost to her, always working on a different plantation. Her second child is stolen by a white couple and is lost to her. She is beaten, nearly raped, and always being abused. But she keeps her mind and her intelligence.
The story follows Aminata from Bayo to Canada, her story always resonating in beautiful descriptions. Her character changes throughout the book, but as her father says in the beginning of the book, "Strength stays forever." The strength that her parents passed to her remains, and even if she weeps in despair, she always stands back up. She is a heroine truly worth knowing. Even when she escapes to the north, she knows that she is not safe, and must always fight for her freedom. And we weep in grief or cheer in triumph as her story unfolds.
The boo runs a little lengthy at 470 pages, but the entire story relates a true world. With many books, there are too many emotional descriptions and not enough about the setting, but Someone Knows My Name does not fall into that category. The world of the Americas in the 18th century becomes clear and real to us, and we see enough of it to feel as if we are actually there alongside Aminata. Hill creates a beautiful cast of characters, from Chekura's determined nature to Georgia's mothering knowledge to Solomon Lindo's mercurial disposition. They feel real, as if one can really reach out and touch them.
All the while, I longed for Aminata to return to Bayo and her innocent childhood, just as she did. However, my mind tracked with hers; when she discovered that even by returning to her homeland, she could never regain the world with her parents she had known, I felt a dull aching in my heart. A longing unfulfilled. For when we want something, we want it the way we picture it, not the way it will actually be.
Because it's the winner of the Commonwealth Writer's Prize, Someone Knows My Name should be available in most places. It is on eBooks, and I don't know how much it costs on the Kindle, but on the nook, it's very affordable. In paper copy, which is what I am fortunate enough to possess (:D), it is about $15.00, but I got it for $10.00 because it was on sale. But you should get your hands on this book as soon as you can; it's really amazing to read and experience.
That's it for today, ladies and gentlemen. Happy reading, my pageturners!
So geographers, in Afric-maps,
With savage-pictures fill their gaps;
And o'er uninhabitable downs
Place elephants for want of towns.
--Jonathan Swift

While aging often includes a relinquishing of our former physical abilities, I believe it also includes the development of new and lasting memories, capabilities, and wisdom.
The View from Here
Little did we know that within a few weeks, the rise of COVID-19 would force us to revisit this question.
In the midst of all of this change and societal chaos, the church is standing tall.
When we reflect on our life stories, it often becomes clear that God had a bigger plan in mind.
The Bible is replete with examples of partnerships and exhortations to work together in all things.
I would urge us to face these challenges with the full knowledge that the God we serve continues to have everything under control.
Our church is praying, reading Scripture, and practicing other spiritual disciplines, historical and new, transforming our lives and communities for Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit.
When I served as senior pastor in a local church, one of my favorite Sundays each year was "Friendship Sunday."
Have we ever wondered what younger generations think about us? What do they think we view as important? What do they hear us say?
The Savior has come and is coming again. In our foolishness, as we wait for this return, we often put our sights on the material idols of our day.
If we are honest, remembering those incarcerated "as if we were bound with them" is an instruction that many of us would rather forget.
I await the day when my grandchildren see the stone at our home and ask me, "Why did your Trinity colleagues send you off with that verse?"
Broad as well as focused learning is required as young people prepare for their lives and callings.
Some ministers prefer this dual-focused role; they find their "other job" is an opportunity for evangelism, connecting to the real world, or a better use of their varied set of gifts.
We live in an often confusing, ever shifting, and broken world. We see changes happening dramatically in seemingly accelerated ways. How ought the church to respond?
One of the five desired futures expressed in our denominational ministry plan, Our Journey 2020, focuses on collaboration.
While the person you meet in the grocery store may not recognize the denominational name "Christian Reformed Church in North America," you can find common ground by simply saying your church is part of the Christian church.
We need men and women of God who understand the times in which we live and can show us how to give witness to the faith we have in Christ.
Can you imagine an entire church, congregation, or denomination "doing" discipleship?
I don't actually know any people from the Amish tradition and faith, I do have a perception of them. I picture people wearing old-fashioned clothes and driving a horse and buggy. I think of them as being "set apart" and I also admire their resolve.
That perception makes me wonder how others perceive the Christian Reformed Church.
We celebrate a God whose love became incarnate in a manger 2,000 years ago and who continues to sustain us today as a stream sustains a tree.
Earlier this year, synod encouraged denominational ministries to honor the 400th anniversary of the Synod of Dort, which met between 1618-19 in the city of Dordrecht in the Netherlands.
Those who attended Inspire 2017 were privileged to view a video that showed multiple speakers reciting the Apostles Creed. With each speaker voicing a single phrase, the compiled results provided an amazing testimony of belief, made all the more significant because the speakers were primarily children, teens, and adults with disabilities.

From Nik Nok Media's Website:
Amanda Konkin founded Nik Nok Media in January 2011 as an outlet for producing interesting, creative and cost efficient productions that transcend traditional modes of artistic creation. Nik Nok Media develops projects across media platforms and aims to integrate aspects of theatre, film, and digital media in interesting ways.
AWS Creative was hired to create the corporate identity for Nik Nok Media, and we couldn't be happier with how it turned out. The folks at Nik Nok were looking for something fun and inviting, but still had that professional edge, and wouldn't you know it, that's exactly what we're all about at AWS Creative. From the bright vibrant colors, to the bubbly and effervescent design, Nik Nok Media allowed us to let loose and really earn that "Creative" we tack on to the end of our moniker.
Not only have we worked with them to develop their own website and branding, but we've also had the pleasure to work on several projects to date, including The Matrix Rebooted and How I Learned to Drive. Nik Nok Media is an endless source of creative inspiration, and we look forward to working with them on all of their projects in the future!

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Bear Stearns Cos. Inc. went on life support Friday, forced to accept an extraordinary bailout package after being deserted by the clients and counterparties at the heart of the 85 year-old Wall Street firm's business.
Triggering a sell-off throughout the financial sector, Bear shares slumped 47% to $30, their biggest one-day drop in at least two decades.
Bear said the financial support is a bridge to a more permanent solution. Several analysts predicted the firm will likely be acquired quickly by a stronger bank or broker to stop its troubles triggering broader problems in the financial system.
"The financial system supervisors are attempting to prevent this company's problems and the perception of problems from rippling through the system to other financial players," David Hendler, an analyst at CreditSights, wrote in a note to investors. "Given Bear Stearns' huge impact in the mortgage, derivatives and funding markets, we sense that a salvation acquisition is the most likely possibility."
Bear's crisis is the latest sign that the U.S. financial system is cracking under the weight of a global credit crunch that was sparked by last year's subprime mortgage meltdown. The Fed has slashed interest rates and central banks have injected roughly $1 trillion into the banking system since then, but the crunch continues.
The Fed's decision to bail out a brokerage firm recalls other financial crises in which authorities tried to limit turmoil by propping up institutions including Penn Central, Continental Illinois, Orange County, California and hedge fund Long-Term Capital Management.
"What is different this time is that the dominoes are falling in so many different sectors, markets, industries and countries -- all at the same time and there is yet no end in sight," said Sherry Cooper, chief economist at BMO Capital Markets.
Bear's situation turned dire this week by growing concerns that it's struggling to trade with some counterparties. Some market participants have been worried about Bear's exposure to the dwindling mortgage business and its holdings of securities backed by home loans.
Trading is the lifeblood of brokerage firms, so when counterparties pull back trouble often ensues.
"Our liquidity position in the last 24 hours had significantly deteriorated," Alan Schwartz, chief executive at Bear, said in a statement. "We took this important step to restore confidence in us in the marketplace, strengthen our liquidity and allow us to continue normal operations."
In announcing the dramatic plan, J.P. Morgan
The New York Fed said its board unanimously backed the plan. "The Federal Reserve is monitoring market developments closely and will continue to provide liquidity as necessary to promote the orderly functioning of the financial system."
J.P. Morgan also said it's working with Bear to secure permanent financing or "other alternatives" for the brokerage firm.
"Bear needs to raise $3-to-$5 billion of equity within the next couple of days to address concerns; it needs support or firms will withdraw from doing business with Bear," Egan Jones analysts wrote in a Friday research report. "Bear shares are down again today, this time because of concerns about viability [banks are insisting on higher margin levels]," they concluded.
Junk warning
Standard & Poor's and Fitch Ratings slashed their ratings on Bear to BBB, one level above junk status, and warned that more downgrades could follow. Moody's Investors Service cut to Baa1, which is also close to junk levels, and warned of another possible downgrade.
Bear built a business focused on originating mortgages and repackaging them into mortgage-backed securities and collateralized debt obligations, reaping profits from the full spectrum of the real-estate financing process.
But when the subprime-fueled mortgage crisis took hold last year, "Bear did not get out of the way fast enough," as Dick Bove, an analyst at Punk Ziegel & Co., put it in a research note to clients earlier this week.
"Consequently, its balance sheet, its business operations, and its reputation were all hurt badly. One key result of this is that the firm's borrowing costs rose sharply according to reports," Bove wrote.
He added that because the broadening credit crunch has undermined Bear's business model, the firm may end up being acquired.
Achilles heel
Schwartz said late Monday that Bear wasn't facing liquidity problems and the firm was able to meet requests for cash from clients and counterparties. But that changed quickly as the week progressed and the market became more concerned about the firm.
By Thursday, Bear was facing a rash of cash calls from hedge fund clients, counterparties in the important "repo" financing market and similar demands on derivatives trades.
Then counterparties which Bear relied on to provide financing on its collateral pulled that support, triggering the firm's liquidity crisis and pushing it into the arms of the Fed.
"Even though the company's stated liquidity was robust, the lack of counterparty willingness to trade was its Achilles heel," CreditSight's Hendler said.
J.P. Morgan is Bear's clearing agent for its collateral, so the bank already knew what type of assets the brokerage firm held to back its loans. That made it easier for J.P. Morgan to step in quickly and help Bear access the Fed's emergency funding.

The Yarlung Valley is located in the middle of the Yarlung Tsangpo River valley. As the "cradle of Tibetan civilization", it contains numerous important castles, monasteries, temples, meditation caves, peaks, and stupas. The first palace in Tibet, the first temple in Tibet, the mausoleum of Srongtsen Gampo, you can find them all there. Lhasa, Tsetang, Gyantse, Shigatse, this trip will lead you to main cities of Tibet Autonomous Region. The world-known attractions, like the Potala Palace, Jokhang Temple, Sera Monastery, and the holy lake Yamdrotso, are all included in this itinerary. Besides, tourists can visit the Tibetan Incense and Engraving workshops in Nyemo county, and you will learn the Tibetan culture more deeply.
Daily ItineraryCollapse Expand
This is the first day in Tibet. Your guide will greet you at Lhasa Gonggar Airport/Railway Station and transfer you to the lovely hotel. It usually takes around 1.5 hours to drive from Lhasa Airport to downtown Lhasa and takes about 20mins from Lhasa Railway Station. Tourists could have a look at Yarlung Tsangpo River, the largest and longest river in Tibet on their way to the hotel. After check-in, you can have a good rest first. And if you feel like going out, you can wander around the city. But just remember that don't take too much stuff, try to go with a light pack. Meanwhile, drink some more water, do not move strenuously. It's really useful to get acclimatized to the high altitude.
Stay overnight in Lhasa
After rest one night, today you will recover sufficiently to launch your Lhasa city tour, with close contact with Lhasa, which is the political, economic, cultural, communication and tourism center of Tibet with a history over 1300 years.
At first, you will go to the Potala Palace, which is the symbolic place of Lhasa and also the winter palace of the Dalai Lama. It was built by the 33rd great king of Tibet - Songtsen Gangpo in the 7th century. The gilded burial stupas of former Dalai Lamas and meditation Cave of the 33rd great king are the most worth seeing in Potala Palace.
After lunch, you are going to Jokhang Temple, which was founded at the same time and by the same king as Potala Palace. From outside, you can see many pilgrims making prostrating in front of the temple. From inside, you can see the statue of Buddha Sakyamuni at his age of 12.
Barkhor street is the next destination that women love a lot. Because it's a famous busy walking street where they can go shopping. There are many distinctive shops and stalls that sell different Tibetan stuff, like handicrafts, Thangka, and so on. Except for shopping, tourists can also join the Kora with pilgrims and locals, to explore Tibetan religious culture more deeply.
You can go to visit the Tibetan handicraft art or Tibetan Traditional Medicine center if time is enough. You can also watch the Tibetan Culture Show in the evening for USD60 per person at your own expense.
Stay overnight in Lhasa
In the morning, you are heading to Drak Yerpa, a place maybe not that famous but with its advantage. It consists of a monastery and several ancient meditation caves. Some arrow holes on the cliffs are believed to prove that the legendary hero Ling Gesar had visited this valley.
In the afternoon, you will pay a visit to Sera Monastery, which is one of the "great three" Gelug monasteries of Tibet. Monks debate from 3pm to 5pm. It's exciting, even if you don't understand what they are talking about at all. If the debate is not your type, you can also see the three sand Mandalas and colorful Rock Painting of Buddha inside the monastery. Besides, the sight in the Sera monastery is splendid because you can see roses around. That's why people also call it "the court of wild rose."
Stay overnight in Lhasa
Today you will leave Lhasa and head to the next city. After Samye, Trandruk, and Yumbulakang, finally, you will arrive Tsetang and spend one night there.
Samye Monastery was founded in the 8th century. That time was called "the Tubo Dynasty" in Tibet. And it's the first monastery that tonsured monks lived in.
Trandruk Monastery, the first Buddhist monastery in Tibetan history, was founded by Srongtsen Gampo and Wen Cheng princess. There is one priceless treasure in this monastery. It's a Tangka that made of pearls and gems, attracts Buddhists come to worship.
Yumbulakang Palace, with a history more than 2100 years, is the first palace in Tibet. It stands on the slope of a hill and was reputed to be the palace of Tibetan first king, Nyatri Tsanpo.
Stay overnight in Tsetang
Today you will go to Gyantse via Chongye.
Chongye Burial Mounds is located in Chongye county, there are only 9 mausoleums you can see now. The most famous one is the mausoleum of Srongtsen Gampo. Chongye county has a moderate climate and good scenery, and it was Srongtse Gampo's hometown. People believed that's why Srongtsen Gampo chose here to sleep forever.
On the way to Gyantse, you can have a glimpse of Yamdroktso Lake. This is the holy lake surrounded by plenty of snow-capped mountains. And special views of Holy Mount Nyenchen Khangsar ( 7191m)---the highest mountain near Lhasa, comes out later soon.
You will see the Karola Glacier when we pass it on the roadside. After hanging pray flag at Simila Mountain pass, we will arrive at Gyantse, the third largest city in Tibet after Lhasa and Shigatse.
Stay overnight in Gyantse
After breakfast, we shall visit Pelkor Monastery with Gyantse Kumbum and then see the Gyantse Fortress from a distance.
Gyantse Dzong, the hero city that witnesses the history of the fierce fighting. It was 1904, British troops started to attack China here, and Tibetan people defended for their homeland with simple weapons. The bloody war lasted for more than three months. This is also the basic story of the famous movie named "Red River Valley".
The last spot of the day is Shalu monastery, the only monastery in Tibet that combines Tibetan and Chinese styles in its design.
Then we will start to go to Shigatse. It normally takes one and a half hours to drive from Gyantse to Shigatse, where we may visit the traditional barley mill and have the unique sights of barley field (in summer).
Stay overnight in Shigatse
In the morning, drive to visit the Tashilhunpo Monastery which is founded by the First Dalai Lama in 1447, the monastery's structure was expanded by the Fourth and successive Panchen Lamas. Tashilhunpo is the seat of the Panchen Lama since the Fourth Panchen Lama took charge in the monastery, and there are now nearly 800 lamas.
After that, we transfer to Yungdrungling Monastery. It is one of the few remaining Bon Monasteries in Tibet. Often referred to as the original religion of Tibet, Bon came about during the 11th century. The Monastery is rather small but in a wonderful setting with only a few monks to maintain the many valuable Bon writings. This is a great side trip when traveling between Lhasa and Shigatse.
Today's sightseeing will end on visiting the Tibetan Incense Workshop in Nyemo. There still keeps a natural way to make incense and this intact craftsmanship can trace back to 1300 years ago, which is listed as state-level intangible cultural heritage. Walking along streams and bridges, there are many spots for visitors to experience its procedures.
Stay overnight in Lhasa

Hi, We would be interested by the M06 tour from the Sat 14th of Oct to the Sat 21st of Oct. Is it possible during this period ? What would be the total cost / person for this tour ? I understood that this cost is including the daily accomodation, the daily breakfast, the cost for the car + driver, the cost for the guide and the cost for the Tibet tourism permit. Am I right ? For the time being, we didn't book yet any flight ticket and we didn't start the process for getting the Chinese visa, waiting for more visibility from your side regarding the details for this trip (total cost, approval of the period and lead time for getting all the documents). Thank you for your reply. Best Regards Frederic LIBAUD
Dear Libaud,
Yes, it's definitely possible to take our 8 Days Lhasa Yarlung Valley Shigatse Tour on 14th Oct as it's a private tour and quite flexible, so you could start it based on your schedule.
I will send you the quotation of it with detailed service inclusions and exclusions shortly by email.

The May 13th, 2013 mid-term elections in the Philippines will not only decide whether the current liberal administration strengthens its mandate for the next three years. What is more, it is a preview of the 2016 presidential contest, and of whether the good governance reforms of the administration will last beyond the current administration.
The Liberal Party put all their eggs in one basket: that these elections are an endorsement of President Aquino's administration.
In 2010 the Philippines elected President Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III with a historically large landslide, on an anti-corruption, anti-poverty platform. His administration has been credited with real successes in the fight against corruption, such as the impeachment of former Chief Justice Renato Corona and the court case against Aquino's predecessor Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo. At the same time the economy has picked up in a spectacular way.
This is reflected in Aquino's satisfaction ratings, which in March were a net +59 (up 4 points from December 2012), and his Cabinet has a good net satisfaction rating of +26. But Aquino is seeking to strengthen his mandate with a stronger majority in the Senate (where half of the 24 seats are up for grabs), and maintaining his strong position in the House of Representatives (where all seats are at stake). The mid-term elections also include local races in the country's 80 provinces, 143 cities and 1,491 municipalities.
Confidence in this administration is high, but many in business wonder whether the anti-corruption and liberalization drive continues after 2016, when a new President will be elected (Aquino is only allowed one six-year term). Current front runner is Vice President Jejomar Binay, former mayor of Makati City, who is not precisely famous for his good governance record. A candidate who is more in line with Aquino's policies would be Liberal Party (LP) leader Manuel "Mar" Roxas. President Aquino has been very vocal in recommending Roxas, his 2010 running mate. Roxas has not yet declared his plans for 2016.
Corruption is slowly fading, on the national level at least, but has not yet received a knock-out blow. The economy has picked up, but the benefits take time to trickle down to the poorest Filipinos, and structural liberal reforms have so far been piecemeal. A competition law and a freedom of information law, seen as "signature legislation" for the LP as well as for Aquino himself, are yet to be adopted.
Following the success of the adoption of the Reproductive Health law, despite massive opposition of the Catholic Church hierarchy, the public is looking for more reforms, and Aquino needs all the help he can get.
Binay and Roxas already had a close fight for the vice presidency in 2010, with Binay narrowly winning. Binay now entered the mid-term elections with his own slate of senatorial candidates: the UNA coalition of parties, formed together with former President Joseph "Erap" Estrada, who was ousted on plunder charges in 2001, and Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile, who was already a minister under Marcos and who has donned more political colors in his career than a fireworks display. Nominally UNA is "not in opposition" to the President, but a victory of the UNA coalition would be seen as a defeat for Aquino.
The President's men responded with their own coalition, "Team PNoy," thereby raising the stakes. The message is clear: if you want the "straight path" of the President to continue you have to vote for Team PNoy. And a defeat for UNA would take much gloss off Binay, who has so far enjoyed high approval ratings, using his cushy job mainly for public relations purposes.
Taking a backseat
In this election the interests of the Liberal Party itself took a backseat. The Team PNoy slate of 12 candidates contains only 3 from LP, only one of whom (the President's cousin Bam Aquino) stands a good chance of being elected. Some of the other Team PNoy candidates are even erstwhile opponents of LP, but they pledged to support the President's policies. Among some of the rank-and-file of LP the make-up of the Team PNoy coalition understandably raised eyebrows, to say the least. (Read: How Team PNoy ran its campaign)
Yet a victory of Team PNoy together with LP holding on to crucial seats in Congress and among governors and mayors, would give LP a headstart in the final half of Aquino's term and for the 2016 presidential elections. The victory might also get liberal Senator and campaign leader Franklin Drilon elected as Senate President, which would be a great boon to the administration, replacing the wily Enrile.
Binay however is an excellent strategist, and in the initial election surveys after the forming of UNA their candidates occupied most of the 12 Senate seats that are up for election. But the picture changed, particularly when President Aquino personally joined the fray, and in the latest polls 9 out of 12 are for Team PNoy with several liberal Team PNoy candidates on the verge of breaking into the "magic 12." The personal ratings for Binay and Ponce Enrile are down. (Read: UNA: The opposition that's not quite)
And in the most eye-catching local race between UNA and Team PNoy, for mayor of old Manila, former President Estrada's challenge to incumbent liberal mayor Alfredo Lim may not be as easy a success as was earlier predicted.
Another issue is whether the elections will be plagued by corruption and violence, as they have often been in the past. So far the violence has come from the communist insurgency, more than among rival candidates. The pro-active stance of the Commission for Elections appears to have some effect.
There is everything to play for on May 13th, and much is at stake. - Rappler.com

Svarog was the the god of the sun and sky, and the son of Praamzius, then leader of the Dievas pantheon, son of the primordial god Rod. Svarog eventually succeeded to Praamzius.[5]
In Slavs myths, Svarog, as the smith god, forged the world.[3]
Mating with Lada, he sired Perun,[6] Svantovit, Kalvis, Stribog, Svarozvich, Milda and Ursula.
Early years
Svarog attributed shares of his power to his sons, but Perun and Svantovit usurped their other brothers' share of powers to gain their father's favor, ultimately turning on each other, with Svarog refusing to involve himself.[6] Perun managed to obtain the largest share of power.[5]
In 980 AD, king Vladimir the Great converted to Christianity. The Dievas were forced back to Svarga,[6] as Svarog determined it was in the Dievas' best interest to return to their native realm and cut off most ties with the Earth realm.[5]
In 1000 AD, Svarog attended the Council of Godheads meeting to discussed the threat of the Third Host of the Celestials.[4]
Modern days
He attended another Sky-Fathers meeting in Asgard when Thanos assembled the Infinity Gauntlet. The Godheads convened to unite their peoples' might to battle him, but were soon trapped in Asgard as the Bifrost was shattered by Thanos in a burst of rage.[1]
Powers and Abilities
Svarog presumably possesses the conventional physical attributes of the Dievas.
He can control the weather[citation needed] and summon thunderstorms,[citation needed] but he can also carry the power of the sun in his hammer,[citation needed] enabling him to generate great light and heat on the level of a small sun.[citation needed] The purifying effects of which are detrimental to beings of dark intent, such as demons and zombies.[citation needed] Svarog can also strike the Earth with bursts of light and heat.[citation needed] He can cast spells and create inter-dimensional access points to other dimensions.[citation needed] He can bestow shares of his power on at least his sons.[6][5] In ancient times, Svarog could bind Perun into an amulet and ascend into the heavens on a celestial horse-drawn chariot created from flame.[citation needed]
Svarog carries a mystical hammer, which he uses to channel his power through and direct the precision of his power.[citation needed] He was seen to carry a mass.[1]

Chloe Bennet is ready for an Initiation.
In this exclusive featurette, the actress opens up about lending her voice-acting talents to a new version of Daisy Johnson, aka Quake, in Marvel Rising: Initiation, a new animated web series from Marvel's new Marvel Rising initiative.
For Bennet, known for playing Daisy Johnson/Quake on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., not only is it "a dream come true" to play "Daisy Johnson in cartoon form," but she also explains how honored she is to be part of this web series that features multiple female superheroes.
"It's such an empowering thing for young females to watch," she explains in the video, below. "I think it's really fun to see a movie filled with so many unique female characters. That's something that I didn't have growing up, and I think that's what resonates so much with people."
Check it out:
Marvel Rising is what Marvel is describing as its "multi-platform animated franchise with a focus on inclusivity, empowerment, and relatability for a tween audience." Its first offering, Marvel Rising: Initiation, is a series of six animated shorts that are available to watch in one compiled video online.
It will be followed by an animated feature film called Marvel Rising: Secret Warriors, which will premiere this fall on the Disney Channel.
