Several recent spatial analyses conclude the strong positive association typically found between neighborhood concentrated disadvantage and crime in cross-sectional studies significantly differs across neighborhoods. It is possible this spatial variation is due to within-neighborhood dynamics of continuity and change, as suggested by ecological theories of neighborhood crime.
How do people feel when they benefit from an unfair reward distribution? Equity theory predicts negative emotion in response to over-reward, but sociological research using referential standards of justice drawn from status-value theory repeatedly finds positive emotional responses to over-reward.
In conversational storytelling, the recipients are expected to show affiliation with the emotional stance displayed by the storytellers. We investigated emotional arousal-related autonomic nervous system responses in tellers and recipients of conversational stories. The data consist of 20 recordings of 45- to 60-minute dyadic conversations between female university and polytechnic students. Conversations were videotaped and analyzed by means of conversation analysis (CA), with a special emphasis on the verbal and nonverbal displays of affiliation in storytelling.
I tackle some major criticisms addressed to Pierre Bourdieu's notion of habitus by foregrounding its affinities with Ludwig Wittgenstein's notion of rule-following. To this end, I first clarify the character of the habitus as a theoretical device, and then elucidate what features of Wittgenstein's analysis Bourdieu found of interest from a methodological viewpoint. To vindicate this reading, I contend that Wittgenstein's discussion of rule-following was meant to unearth the internal connection between rules and the performative activities whereby rules are brought into life.
This article is about behavioral variation in genocide. Research frequently suggests that violent behaviors can be explained by or treated as synonymous with ethnic categories. This literature also tends to pre-group actors as perpetrators, victims, or bystanders for research purposes. However, evidence that individuals cross boundaries from killing to desistance and saving throughout genocide indicates that the relationship between behaviors and categories is often in flux.

I bought an oil slick stem top cap. Matches my Supacaz bar ends (that came with my Supacaz handlebar tape). The problem I encountered was glare from the stem cap on sunny days, it's super shinny! It became distracting, even when wearing polarized sun glasses. I took mine off. I suggest you pick another color, not the oil slick.
I was going crazy looking for a stem cap for my bike and finally stumbled upon this offering from Supacaz. I like that it is a simple clean design and of course matches my bar end plugs, most aftermarket or custom caps just don't work for me.
I installed the black top cap on my Eddy Merckx Blockhaus 67 and could not be happier. I bought my bike at a local shop and was fitted for it which included switching out the stem and cap, unfortunately the chrome cap they gave me did not go well with my blackred paint with white accents and I've been going crazy trying to find a replacement that didn't look either cheap or overstated. Thankfully I happened upon this website and found the Supacaz top cap, it's a relatively simple design but very pleasing to look at and it ties in nicely with my end plugs & bar tape (Supacaz of course).

Suke Quto sits within the Guji zone of Sidamo in the south of Ethiopia, surrounded by mountains and covered by dense forest. After a brush fire more than a decade ago Tesfaye Bekele started Suke Quto farm as a project to help with forest conservation. He distributed shade tree seedlings along with seeds of Ethiopian heirloom coffee varieties like Wolisho and Kurume to 150 members of the community that worked to replant the forest. These growers are paid a premium to bring only the ripest cherries to Suke Quto farm for processing. At the farm they do washed, natural processing and also a honey process, which is quite rare for Ethiopia.

Even thought the immediate response to the words 'comeback album' is followed with rolled eyes and cynical remarks, opinions will change when one cranks out Demmamussabebonk. Being the first Snuff record since their 'breakup, back in 1992, after a three-year hiatus and a slight lineup change is just what they needed, because this album rocks! With a new guitarist, the songs on Demmamussabebonk are a lot faster, tighter and more complex without losing their energy and quick wit for which they're known. Not only are Snuff the forefathers of thrashy pop-punk, but they can still kick it with all the younger bands who try to sound like them.

We have exciting news to share! We are releasing Demisto v4.5 today for both enterprise customers and community users. The release is packed with new features suggested to us by our community of customers, partners, and independent users. The new features help you:
- Achieve control of incident response processes on the go
- Engage end users for scalable data collection and incident enrichment
- Simplify development of integrations and automation scripts
- Customize incident triage and categorization during ingestion
and much more!
Here is a brief overview of the pixie-dust that Demisto v4.5 blows into the wind:
Mobile App: Keep Response Running
In today's fast-moving security world, every second that an incident festers in your system is a dangerous second. Demisto's mobile-first experience for Android and iOS enable you to positively affect the state of your SOC even when you don't have access to your Demisto web app.
- Dashboards: You can view standard Demisto dashboards (SLA, System Health, Incidents etc.) as well as create custom mobile-friendly dashboards so that you always have access to critical SOC data.
- Incident summaries: Summaries and task lists for every incident are within your sight with the mobile app. You can also create custom incident summary layouts for the mobile-app that highlight critical context that you need when you're remote.
- Tasks: The Tasks tab for each incident help you assign specific tasks to your team members, choose quick investigation options, and manually mark tasks as complete. Including this task approval in the mobile app allows Demisto playbooks to run even when security analysts are not at the helm.
- Incident actions: Rather than replicating a fully-fledged Demisto web app on mobile, the mobile app empowers you to execute 'just enough' and let the web app take the baton from there. In terms of incident actions, you can assign the incident to an analyst, set incident severity, change the incident type, and close the incident from the mobile app.
If you have a Demisto support account, you can view more product documentation about the mobile app here.
Communication Tasks: Bringing Automation to the End User
While Demisto playbooks unify unique and granular intelligence from security products, we can always do more to provide security teams with all the data they need for investigation. With Demisto v4.5, we have introduced communication tasks that can be built into playbooks to send surveys to Demisto users and external users for data collection and enrichment. This information can be used for analysis and act as inputs for subsequent playbook tasks as well. Here are a few examples of communication tasks in Demisto today:
- Ask Tasks: These are conditional 'one-question' surveys, the answers to which will determine how the playbook will proceed.
- Data Collection Task: These are more detailed surveys that relevant users can access through a link sent to their email. All responses to the survey are stored in incident context, enabling you to use the data as inputs for playbook tasks.
The communication tasks are fully customizable, allowing you to set the email subject and body, question formats, task type, frequency of sending the questionnaire, and more. The screenshot below shows a daily status report that you can send to analysts and transfer knowledge during shift changes in your SOC.
If you want an early preview of how communication tasks work, we had some fun with them last week and you can try it out.
If you have a Demisto support account, you can view more product documentation about communication tasks here.
PyCharm Add-on: Simplifying Integration Development
Demisto's extensible integration network has always been the primary lifeblood of our platform. To further simplify third-party integration and script development, Demisto v4.5 debuts an add-on for PyCharm and enables users to author Python content for Demisto directly in PyCharm. Here are some highlights of what you can accomplish with the Demisto add-on for PyCharm:
- Leverage PyCharm capabilities: Take advantage of smart code completion, error highlighting, and quick navigation to accelerate development of third-party integrations and scripts in Demisto.
- Console flexibility: Choose between running scripts locally in PyCharm or running them in Demisto and having the results display in PyCharm.
- End-to-end development: Create new Python/YML files, edit existing files, and export files to Demisto.
- Remote execution: Execute Demisto integration/automation commands in PyCharm and have results display in PyCharm.
If you have a Demisto support account, you can view more product documentation about the PyCharm add-on here.
Pre-process Rules: Customizing Incident Triage
There's no dearth of data in security today but extracting the 'right' data from all that 'big' data is the challenge teams always grapple with. Demisto v4.5 introduces pre-process rules using which you can perform UI-based triage of incidents as they are ingested into Demisto. You can create rules for specific incidents that accomplish actions when it meets certain criteria. Some illustrative actions are given below:
- Dropping the incident (if you find it to be a duplicate incident)
- Linking the incident to another incident already in your environment
- Linking the incident and closing it
- Running a pre-processing script on the incident
For example, in the screenshot below, the pre-processing rule drops a phishing incident if the email subject is identical to an older incident in the system. The older incident is then updated with this duplicate information.
If you have a Demisto support account, you can view more product documentation about pre-process rules here.
Additional Release Highlights
Other features in Demisto v4.5 include:
- These are a few of my favorite thi- I mean, incidents: You can mark incidents as favorites (denoted by a star icon) to easily identify and access them in the future.
- More slice and dice: You can filter active incidents by your favorites, the incidents you own, and the incidents you participated in, enabling you to quickly home in on the data that matters to you.
- Back to the future: Going back in time, really?! Well, kind of. The new taskReopen command lets you reopen a playbook task by specifying its task ID. You still can't un-own those jeans, we're afraid.
- Completing each other's sandwiches: When you select an automation for a playbook task, the automation's description will now auto-populate in the task description. You can still edit this description to your liking, but now you have a solid and speedy start.
If you're an existing Demisto Community Edition user, we hope you've enjoyed your time with DBot so far and that these enhancements will help further improve your security operations. If you haven't tried Demisto yet, we hope these new features are the nudge that sends you SOARing!
For more details about the features in Demisto v4.5, you can view the release notes on our support portal (if you have a Demisto support account).
We invite you to upgrade to Demisto v4.5 by downloading our new Community Edition. We'd love it if you gave us your honest feedback on the #demisto-discussions Slack channel or by emailing email@example.com.

[dropcap]E[/dropcap]ngland looked like on course for getting three points against Russia in their opening group match, but they were led down by a late goal. This denied them an opportunity to open a major tournament with a victory. Roy Hodgson's team will certainly feel hard done by after having dominated Russia for much of the game. The result leaves them with the need for three points without any fail when they take on Wales and the odds favour an English victory. Chris Coleman's team were a surprise qualifier for the Euro 2016, but they began the campaign with a 2-1 win over Slovakia.
This fine victory has put them top of group A and they can potentially go into the game against England are looking for just in draw. England, though, need to get a win in order to stay alive in the tournament. Gareth Bale may have been the easy and obvious target for the opposition in the opening match, but the brilliant Real Madrid winger came up with a goal to ensure that Wales started the campaign in positive fashion.
One of the positives for England will be the form of Wayne Rooney, who was impeccable against Russia. Likewise, Hodgson will contemplate the possibility of resting Harry Kane, who looked weary and tired throughout the game. Kane is coming on the back of a long and hard campaign with Tottenham. After having performed exceptionally well up until now, the Tottenham striker is in danger of losing his position to Jamie Vardy for the game against Wales.
Coleman is unlikely to make many changes to the starting line-up that won convincingly against Slovakia. The race to qualify for the last 16 round of the competition is heating up and the arrival of Vardy to the starting line-up may be the crucial element that pushes England towards their first win.

Since its introduction in 1991, the Marshall CT classification has become largely accepted for its descriptive and predictive value. For example, the IMPACT (International Mission for Prognosis and Analysis of Clinical Trial in TBI) prognostic model applies the Marshall CT score for 6-month outcome prediction in patients with moderate to severe TBI 1).
The Marshall CT classification was, however, not designed for outcome prediction, and in 2005, Maas et al redesigned it for 6-month mortality prediction, resulting in the Rotterdam CT score 2).

Testimonials for Gloria Todor
Mary Kirchner - Prospect Park10/25/2017
"I have used Gloria Todor for three real estate transactions and in each (both buying and selling homes) she has guided me through the process in a clear and helpful way. She responds quickly to my questions and anticipates questions before I even ask them. She and Doug went to the inspections when I could not attend and offered to help me understand the inspection report. I cannot say enough good things about Gloria and Doug. They make a great team."
Mary Kirchner - Aston, PA Listing09/12/2017
"Doug Durren and Gloria Todor are wonderful agents. Before finding Doug and Gloria, I worked with 2 different agents. One agent was not very knowledgeable and needed to check and get back to me on most questions I had. The second agent would rarely return my phone calls. I searched for an agent online for someone who had construction experience and I found Doug and Gloria. They helped me find a house and Doug was able to point out major issues and what would be minor issues in the home. Gloria walked me through all of the paperwork. They are a fabulous team. They responded to my emails, texts, and phone calls ASAP and never made me feel like I was asking a dumb question. I used them to buy and sell my last house and am currently using them to purchase my next home. I would recommend them to anyone!"
Cheryl - Yeadon08/01/2017
"Gloria Todor was excellent she was extremely helpful and knowledgeable about my needs. I enjoyed working with her and will highly recommend her. I'm looking forward to working with her in the future."

"Both Doug and Gloria exceeded all expectations for an excellent realtor.

Anne Coughlan, Clifton Heights (Buyer)

After waking up early and working all day, my guard is finally down in the evenings. It's comfort time. It's not just bedtime, but the whole evening from start to finish. Most relapses occur just before bed but sometimes it can occur throughout the evening. I'm vulnerable when I am tired and falling asleep. I'm also vulnerable when I am not doing the things I am supposed to do in the evening, usually down to procrastination. I conclude that evening urges come down to loneliness and habit. I am so used to doing the routine that it simply happens. Doing what I am supposed to do during evenings do put me in a happier mood, which makes it easier to deal with the urges.
Evenings used to be the hardest time to fight the urges, but not anymore. Because I now use the evenings as free time to improve myself or spend time with friends, as opposed to wasting time on the internet, it has been easier to deal with the evening. I also now write down what I plan on doing the next day, which gives me a sense that I need to sleep.
What I have discovered is relapsing in the evening makes a morning urge harder to fight. Relapsing in the morning, makes evening urges easier to resist.
Get up and start the day. This always sounds easy to do but incredibly difficult to execute, for everyone not just myself. If I am hungover, I am more vulnerable to relapse. The effects of a hangover mixed with urges is a hard cocktail to swallow. Depression often follows suit once relapsed as I stay in bed all day.
Mornings are now harder than evenings. Evenings used to be harder because I was procrastinating and not doing anything productive. The problem with mornings is that I am so used to masturbating and watching explicit material as a method of waking up. Another problem is that I wake up in the perfect environment, all I need now is a phone or tablet. Waking up sluggish, realising how incredibly comfortable my bed is and how silly it would be to leave such a perfect place. Only to realise I have to get up to do stuff, but I cannot. This is when I usually get up and get my phone to start the relapse process. Afterwards getting up isn't as hard as it was before.
What is so bizarre to me about morning urges is that morning duties shuts down urges. Duties such as getting up, using the toilet, brushing my teeth and washing my face. It's that initial getting out of bed that is always hard. It's hard for me and hard for the average person. Being so used to using explicit material as a stimulus for getting up has caused mornings to be a popular time to relapse.

After you've started taking the steps to optimize your body's
systems and they have made the "switch" from building and maintaining
fat to discarding it and actually using the foods you put into it more efficiently so they're not stored as fat you can move on to optimize your diet
and eating habits. You should be able to eat foods you enjoy
without reservation. Even while trying to lose weight! Limiting the
amount of food you eat or any kind of portion control should NEVER be
done. It only leads to constant cravings , discomfort and vicious
cycles of obsession with food and diets. There's a lot of guilt
(overeating,cheating on a diet) and negativity (failure to lose
weight,I'm not good at this,I have no will power) that go along with
it that are destructive to self esteem and self image. It can also lead to the
failure of any weight loss attempts. You should be able to eat
as much as you like of foods you enjoy.
Implementing change in your diet should be done gradually. Change is stressful on the body and the mind. Start slowly. Do not stop eating all your favorite things in one day. Start by omitting the foods that are really bad for you one day a week and build up. For instance, no processed foods on Monday. The following week add Tuesday to that routine. Have a no meat dinner night... Foods are habit forming and habits can be broken. We create our own habits by repeating behaviors. We are a blank slate that responds to input. Likes, dislikes, and habits. You can reprogram all of that. Consistently repeating the behaviors you choose will make them habits eventually. You can make the choice to stop eating potato chips for instance and replace them with a healthy alternative potato salad (boiled sliced potato, fresh diced tomato, fresh sliced onion) with lemon olive oil dressing (lemon juice, olive oil, salt) ,no mayo. If you do that consistently your body will forget about the chips, you will no longer crave them. You will start to look forward to the potato salad instead...you'll crave that instead of the chips. A much healthier choice. Easier for your body to process, much more nutritious, lower in calories. If it's done gradually enough and the foods you really need to avoid are replaced with things you really enjoy there will come a time you won't even care that they're gone. You can enjoy other foods...foods that are better for you and less likely to add to weight issues. You'll wind up looking forward to them as much as you look forward to eating the foods you do now. Once you're at a healthy weight,and have a good balance and have gotten into the habit of rotating your foods, you will be able to enjoy all the foods you like without worries. You'll even be able to snack on chips occasionally without going overboard. Chances are you won't want to though, having reprogramed your tastebuds and the areas of your brain that retain memories of food/taste/pleasure you won't find them as appealing.
Avoid television
As humans we are very visual creatures. We respond to images. When we are presented with an image areas of our brain are stimulated leading to a literal physical reaction to what we have seen. Memories are accessed including taste, scent,and emotions.... evoking a strong response. When watching television you are bombarded with images of food and suggestion. Both have a powerful impact. Read a book, work on a hobby, or develop a new interest. Avoid activities that are going to " trigger" eating.

PSC to policemen: stop carrying handbags, others for VIPs
Police Service Commission (PSC) has warned officers on escort duty with Very Important Personalities (VIPs) to stop carrying their handbags and umbrellas.
The commission, which described the act as an insult to the Police, noted that it would start arresting police operatives on illegal escort duty.
It stated that it would deploy its men to airports and highways to apprehend errant policemen.
The commission chairman, Chief Mike Okiro, in Abuja yesterday, said: "It is an insult to the police uniform for policemen to engage in 'domestic duty' or carry handbags for VIPs.
"The PSC had worked out a blueprint of the class of dignitaries that should enjoy special police protection with specific duties of the policemen spelt out.
"To stem the tide, we have worked out a blueprint of the class of VIPs that should enjoy the privilege of attaching police officers to provide VIP protection with their specific duties clearly spelt out. The matter is awaiting the consent of the relevant authorities before we can start its implementation.
"Once the operation is fully planned out, the Provost-Marshal of the Police and the staff of the PSC will operate jointly and be stationed at domestic airports and some highways to arrest and discipline officers who embark on illegal escorts or guards."
The PSC chairman also debunked the alleged lopsidedness in the senior police officers' promotions.

Fresh homemade pasta is a classic of Italian cuisine! For many it is a ritual that is handed down from generation to generation, it is a childhood memory, at home; it is a moment of celebration with family or friends. Before moving to Vancouver I had no idea how to make fresh egg pasta, in Italy you can buy Fresh Pasta at the super market or even better at the local deli.
When I moved here I was really fascinated by all the Italian women, friends of my mother-in-law and not, who invariably made fresh pasta for the family. There is a lot to admire in these women because they really had to learn in an era without Google, without internet!
My mother-in-law told me that the first time she made the pasta she simply put some flour on the table, a few eggs and started to knead, naturally without weighing … all by eye. When I also started making pasta, it was when I really became passionate about cooking. There is nothing more satisfying, in my opinion, than fresh pasta, eggs and flour. And nothing more delicious than a nice plate of tagliatelle with a good ragu '.
Now the passion I have for Fresh Pasta I like to pass it on to the ladies and gentlemen that come at my cooking classes. The class on fresh pasta is one of the most requested. My clients / friends are also fascinated by being able to create something precious only with the use of eggs and flour and of course lots of love. We make pasta, ravioli, lasagne, tagliatelle, fettuccine, spaghetti alla chitarra, tortelli, tortellini, agnolotti, cannelloni and whoever has the most 'put it. My recipe is very simple, for 1 egg is 100 grams of flour.
- 5 eggs
- 500 grams all purpose flour
- A sprinkle of love
Place the flour on a board or in a bowl. Make a well in the centre and crack the eggs into it. Beat the eggs with a fork until smooth. Using the tips of your fingers, mix the eggs with the flour, incorporating a little at a time, until everything is combined. Knead the pieces of dough together – with a bit of work and some love and attention they'll all bind together to give you one big, smooth lump of dough!
You can also make your dough in a food processor if you've got one. Just put everything in, whiz until the flour looks like breadcrumbs, then tip the mixture on to your work surface and bring the dough together into one lump, using your hands.
Once you've made your dough you need to knead and work it with your hands to develop the gluten in the flour, otherwise your pasta will be flabby and soft when you cook it, instead of springy and al dente.
There's no secret to kneading. You just have to bash the dough about a bit with your hands, squashing it into the table, reshaping it, pulling it, stretching it, squashing it again. You'll know when to stop – it's when your pasta starts to feel smooth and silky instead of rough and floury. Then all you need to do is wrap it in cling film and put it in the fridge to rest for at least half an hour before you use it. Make sure the cling film covers it well or it will dry out and go crusty round the edges (this will give you crusty lumps through your pasta when you roll it out, and nobody likes crusty lumps!).
Dust your work surface with some flour, take a lump of pasta dough the size of a large orange and press it out flat with your fingertips. Set the pasta machine at its widest setting – and roll the lump of pasta dough through it. Lightly dust the pasta with flour if it sticks at all. Click the machine down a setting and roll the pasta dough through again. Fold the pasta in half, click the pasta machine back up to the widest setting and roll the dough through again. Repeat this process five or six times. It might seem like you're getting nowhere, but in fact you're working the dough, and once you've folded it and fed it through the rollers a few times, you'll feel the difference. It'll be smooth as silk and this means you're making wicked pasta!
Now it's time to roll the dough out properly, working it through all the settings on the machine, from the widest down to around the narrowest. Lightly dust both sides of the pasta with a little flour every time you run it through. When you've got down to the narrowest setting, to give yourself a tidy sheet of pasta, fold the pasta in half lengthways, then in half again, then in half again once more until you've got a square-ish piece of dough. Turn it 90 degrees and feed it through the machine at the widest setting. As you roll it down through the settings for the last time, you should end up with a lovely rectangular silky sheet of dough with straight sides – just like a real pro! If your dough is a little cracked at the edges, fold it in half just once, click the machine back two settings and feed it through again. That should sort things out. Whether you're rolling by hand or by machine you'll need to know when to stop. If you're making pasta like tagliatelle, lasagne or stracchi you'll need to roll the pasta down to between the thickness of a beer mat and a playing card; if you're making a stuffed pasta like ravioli or tortellini, you'll need to roll it down slightly thinner or to the point where you can clearly see your hand or lines of newsprint through it.
Once you've rolled your pasta the way you want it, you need to shape or cut it straight away. Pasta dries much quicker than you think so whatever recipe you're doing, don't leave it more than a minute or two before cutting or shaping it. You can lay over a damp clean tea towel which will stop it from drying. Buon Appetito

As the U.S. Supreme Court prepares to issue what is expected to be a ruling allowing same sex marriage to be legal nationwide, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is warning Texas County Clerks not to issue marriage licenses to same sex couples until he has had the opportunity to 'provide direction and clarity,' on the issue, News Radio 1200 WOAI reports.
"I remain prayerful that the Court will heed millennia of family tradition, Judeo-Christian instruction and common sense, and will respect the role of the states," Paxton said. "But whatever the ruling, I would recommend that all County Clerks and Justices of the Peace wait for direction from this office about the meaning of the Court's opinion and the right of Texans under the law."
Neel Lane, who is the lawyer for the two same sex couples who have been fighting for the right to marry in Texas, says the only 'direction' that Paxton needs to give to County Clerks is to tell them to obey the law.
"Attorneys General aren't supposed to be in the business of praying, but in the business of interpreting the law, and in this case, the Supreme Court is going to be quite clear when it rules. Clerks should not delay any further."

Tatical AnalysisEdit
- Weaponising the Periodic Table: The Allied superweapon, the Proton Collider launches several packets of protons at relativistic speeds, devastating everything they hit.
- Precision P Strike: The Proton Collider is set to fire each of its shots at a different specified target; the commander can choose to concentrate the shots on a single area, or spread out the proton shots for widespread destruction.
- Chain Reaction: In addition to the destruction of the immediate target area, the Proton Collider's shots cause a catalyst effect, with any buildings struck by the initial impact exploding, spreading the catalyst effect to other nearby structures and damaging them. If used on a densely packed base, it can turn the entire base into a smoldering ruin.
- Up to speed: While devastating, the Proton Collider requires some time to accelerate its particles to the speed that gives them their destructive impacts, during which it must be protected.
WWIII Operational History EditThe concept of the collider, a particle accelerator that would collide particles with other particles at extremely high velocities, already existed by 1960. By the early sixties, the first colliders had been constructed, and the Allies had drawn up plans for the construction of what was to be the world's largest collider at the CERN (European Organisation for Nuclear Research) laboratory, situated in Geneva.
Work had barely begun on the proposed Proton Collider when the project was abruptly interrupted in late 1965, when the Soviets invaded Switzerland. Though Geneva didn't fall, the attack spooked the Allied Nations, who subsequently relocated CERN's scientists to the supposedly safer Greek island of Mykonos. There, the scientists continued their research, and it was decided that the Proton Collider would be constructed in Mykonos instead.
As the name would indicate, the original purpose of the Proton Collider was to collide protons and ions at relativistic velocities, around 99.995% of the speed of light. Shortly after the relocation to Mykonos, the Allied military took an interest in the Proton Collider project. Construction of the underground facility went unimpeded, with construction finished in record time thanks to additional support from the Allied Corps of Engineers, which lent their expertise and technology. The scientists were allowed to use the facility for their own research purposes, but at the same time an additional structure was constructed on top of the underground collider.This structure would be called into action when the Soviets attacked Mykonos, with the intent of capturing the research of the parallel Paris Project, which was also located on Mykonos. Though the Paris Project's research was lost, the success of the Proton Collider in the destruction of the Soviet base further enthused the Allied military, which began to deploy additional Proton Colliders around the globe.
In military operation, the Proton Collider basically works by firing off multiple bursts of hydrogen at relativistic speeds up into the atmosphere, where the protons are then redirected towards their target by ground based gravametric lensing projectors.
Though part of the energy of the protons is lost before they even reach their target due to air resistance, the effect is still devastating,powerful enough to level entire city blocks. Upon colliding with their targets, the resultant deceleration of the protons releases an immeasurable amount of heat. The resultant transferral of energy to nearby material results in a massive thermalisation and vaporisation of any nearby material, creating a chain of heat and pressure based shock waves, making the Proton Collider especially devastating to densely packed areas.
Post-War Operational History Edit
During WWIII, Proton Colliders were hardwired to fire every shot it had at one area, to prevent hijackings mid-firing cycle. In wake of recent tactical revelations, Allied command has seen fit to remove this failsafe after seeing that the chances of a mid-firing hijacking were so remote as to be nonexistent, allowing Commanders to target each shot individually.
Behind The Scenes Edit
- EA possibly took inspiration from the "Ragnarok Complex" of CnC Europe for the Proton Collider. A render gallery is available here.

Ruth 3.1–5; 4.13–17
Mark 12.38–44
…spiritual brokenness affects our lives and the lives of others. We have found, however, that God is eager to bless us even in our spiritual brokenness. (from Soul Repair)
"The past is a foreign country: they do things differently there."
That's the opening line of a 1953 novel called The Go-Between. It's a brilliant opening line for a novel and for a sermon. We must always remember when we read the scriptures that the past is a foreign country. They did things differently there. We're going to see that as we look at our scripture passages today.
Firstly, widows: in an age with no social security, no pension, they could be in a precarious position.
The readings for this week and last draw our attention to the plight of widows in biblical times. We have Naomi and Ruth, husbandless and childless, forced to eke out a living gleaning grain from the fields that hadn't been gathered by the men working there; and also forced to plot and plan to ensure that Boaz noticed Ruth. This is more than a romantic story; it is a matter of life and death for Ruth and Naomi.
And in today's Gospel Reading, we have the widow who had fallen on hard times, whose offering is two small coins, each worth only about six minutes' work. Her offering is practically worthless. But it was all she had.
And don't forget that last week we heard Psalm 146, which proclaims that
The Lord keeps faith for ever,
giving food to the hungry,
justice to the poor,
freedom to captives…
comforting widows and orphans,
protecting the stranger…
The scriptures of the Old and New Testaments proclaim that God seeks justice for the widow, the orphan and all who are being failed by the society they live in.
Then the scribes: last week we mentioned the scribe Ezra who was active at the time of the return from the Babylonian Exile, in the 530s BC. Ezra was
skilled in the law of Moses (Ezra 7.6)
and he
had set his heart to study the law of the Lord, and to do it, and to teach the statutes and ordinances in Israel. (Ezra 7.10)
But in this foreign country we call 'the past', they did things differently. Ezra wasn't just someone who knew and taught his bible; he was also what we would think of as an official of the government. The two roles were not separated in this time. Today, we do separate them and we call them 'religious' and 'secular' or 'church' and 'state'. Back in the days of Jesus, they wouldn't have understood what we mean by separating them out. Remember, the past is a foreign country.
So we can see that a scribe had authority in far more areas than any minister or priest in Australia today.
One of those areas that a scribe may have been involved in was acting as guarantor for a widow's house, so she could keep living there. It seems though that some may have charged so much for this service that the widow became destitute.
So a scribe may appear to be a righteous man, helping poor widows; in reality, he may be grasping and greedy. (Not all scribes were like this, of course. We came across a scribe last week who was 'not far from the kingdom of God'.)
Jesus condemned the way the scribes defrauded widows in no uncertain terms. He said:
Beware of the scribes who like to walk around in long robes, and to be greeted with respect in the marketplaces, and to have the best seats in the synagogues and places of honour at banquets! They devour widows' houses and for the sake of appearance say long prayers. They will receive the greater condemnation.
'They devour widows' houses…' 'Devour' is a violent word, which conjures up the picture of wolves or lions tearing at the flesh of a small animal. A widow doesn't stand a chance when a scribe gets her scent.
And this is the context in which we hear about the widow and her paltry offering.
We can imagine the story in our mind's eye. We see the rich people, the people of power, ostentatiously putting their wads of $100 dollar notes in the offering. We see them competing to outdo one another in their very public giving. They each want the honour of being the one who gives the most.
Then this poor widow comes along. Perhaps she's a young widow, maybe she still has children holding her skirts, we just don't know. Her offering is practically worthless.
People are watching. The kinder ones might turn their faces away, and pretend they've found something interesting on the ground. Others swap knowing looks with each other, or they scoff openly.
Jesus says,
Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put in more than all those who are contributing to the treasury. For all of them have contributed out of their abundance; but she out of her poverty has put in everything she had, all she had to live on. (Mark 12.43–44)
She had put in all she had. She had given everything.
What did Jesus mean? Most of us will hear Jesus commending the widow. But is he really? Might he not be just observing what is going on?
When you look at what Jesus says, he is not praising the woman. He's just telling it like it is. There is no overt commendation, even though that's what we usually assume Jesus is doing.
Perhaps Jesus really is just making a disinterested comment. Why not?
Wait a minute, though: Does Jesus even 'do' disinterested?
Friends, we can be sure that Jesus doesn't make disinterested comments, particularly about widows or others who fail to 'get ahead in society', and for one very good reason. It's there in Psalm 146:
The Lord keeps faith for ever,…
comforting widows and orphans…
And Jesus is Lord. He is the Lord of heaven and earth. He is God in human skin living a fully human life. Jesus keeps faith for ever. He doesn't look upon widows with disinterest.
Jesus is concerned about the widow. When he points her out to the disciples, it is with compassion. She is a widow in a time when scribes would cheat widows out of anything they could, and devour whatever was available. All the while, they appeared pious and holy on the outside.
Really, what the scribes were doing was a particularly vicious form of spiritual abuse. We hear a lot about abuse, for example domestic abuse; spiritual abuse exists too. It is the use of religious power to limit the freedom of other people, or even to harm them.
This widow was placing her offering in the Temple treasury. She gave two coins, all she had. She was making herself—and possibly her family—destitute.
Was Jesus commending her? Or was he looking on her with compassion?
Think what it would mean if Jesus were to commend the widow. He would be giving support to the abusive system that robbed her in the first place, and left her with only two tiny coins. Surely, he was looking on her with compassion, as he looked upon the scribes with—what?—exasperation? anger?
It is a misuse of this scripture to make it about stewardship and giving. It is about spiritual abuse. It is wrong not to condemn the behaviour of 'televangelists' and others who profit by encouraging people to give beyond their means.
Stewardship of our time, talents and money is vitally important. We are to give freely, regularly, generously, even at times sacrificially; but we are not to ignore spiritual abuse when it occurs. This widow was being abused.
Jesus brings grace and freedom, not bondage. He has compassion on the poor, and criticises those who withhold money from them. In the foreign country we call the past, it was scribes who did this; scribes were religious figures, but also had power in what we think of the 'political' realm.
That's why the Church must be involved wherever vulnerable people are disadvantaged.
We are the body of Christ. Our mission is the ever-new mission of Christ. It is to go and do likewise. It is to help people's hearts to sing to in the freedom of Christ, the peace of God and with joy in the Holy Spirit.

Ray Black, Tanner Scott, and Matt Strahm on Learning and Developing Their Sliders
Pitchers learn and develop different pitches, and they do so at varying stages of their lives and careers. It might be a curveball in high school, a cutter in college, or a changeup in A-ball. Sometimes the addition or refinement is a natural progression — graduating from Pitching 101 to advanced course work — and often it's a matter of necessity. In order to get hitters out as the quality of competition improves, a pitcher needs to optimize his repertoire.
In this installment of the series, we'll hear from three pitchers — Ray Black, Tanner Scott, and Matt Strahm— on how they learned and developed their sliders.
Ray Black, San Francisco Giants
"When I was in high school, I had the privilege of working with Andy Ashby, who is pretty much a legend around Wilkes-Barre. We messed around a little bit with a slider at the time, but I really started developing it more coming back from my Tommy John surgery. I blew out my senior year.
"My curveball was too big, too loopy, and easy to distinguish. I think I was throwing it almost 20 mph slower than my fastball. When you're younger, you see this big breaking ball, somebody is diving out of the way, and you're like, 'Man, that's nasty.' But when you get up to the higher levels, you realize it's more deception; it's not just movement. I tried to develop a slider like a cutter. That's what I think when I throw my slider: cutter. If I don't, I always end up trying to make it bigger than it should be. I need to try to keep it tight, keep it small.
"It's been a development pitch for me. I've kind of toyed with it a little bit over the years. Steve Kline is a guy who has helped me a lot with it. I worked with him in Augusta, my first year of Low-A [2014] and then I was with him again in Richmond [2016]. He always messed around, throwing cutters to hitters during batting practice. I watched the way he held it, and kind of picked it up off of him.
"I talked to Sergio Romo about it a few years ago. He's able to throw his the same way, yet manipulate it differently. He can throw a tight one, a big one, he can slow one down. That's what I try to do. It's a little bit of a manipulation with the wrist. I don't really ever change my arm speed or my aggression. When I try to back off is when I get in trouble. I hate it when people say, 'Just throw it over for a strike, nice and easy.' When you start messing with slowing your mechanics down — slowing down your arm speed to throw a pitch for a strike— good hitters are going to recognize that."
Tanner Scott, Baltimore Orioles
"I started working on a slider when I first got into pro ball. Before that I was curveball. But it wasn't really a curveball; it just spun. When I was starting in Double-A, and doing three innings at a time, is when I really developed my slider. That's when I really got the feel for it.
"The grip I use is one that Alan Mills taught me. It's very basic. My middle finger is a little off the seam. It's on it so that I can feel it, but not on top of it. I've also learned to manipulate my slider. It's about my release point with my fingers, how I finish the pitch. I can make it breaks two ways. One has more depth and the other is more side to side.
"I guess I do (have a high spin rate on my slider), but I don't like to look at numbers. I try not to get all analytical. This is a numbers game, yeah. And the numbers do show, but I don't even like looking back at the radar gun to see how hard the pitch was. When I was younger I'd throw a pitch and look, but over time you learn that whatever number, you can't get mad about it. If you see a number you don't like, and try to throw harder … there's no point to that. Same with my slider. I just need to throw it like I know I can throw it."
Matt Strahm, San Diego Padres
"I wasn't allowed to throw a breaking ball until I was 15 or 16 years old. My dad just wouldn't let me. My slider is more recent. I'd been curveball, but Dave Eiland liked my arm action for a slider. Same thing when I got over here [from the Royals]. It plays off my fastball better. A curveball is a pitch that is going to go up out of my hand, and a slider is going to explode out of my hand. They've told me here that my fastball explodes out of my hand, so this gives me a pitch that is much like my fastball until the very end.
"I started to develop it a little bit in Kansas City, but my knee injury in 2017 kind of put an end to that. Getting traded over here was a little blessing in disguise, to get with Balls [pitching coach Darren Balsley]. He kind of sharpened it up. He made it a legit swing-and-miss pitch for me.
"Something that helped it click was A.J. Ellis explaining to me — this was last year — the term 'kill slider.' That really stuck with me. It helped me throw my slider as a swing-and-miss pitch, versus trying to place it somewhere. A.J. said to just throw the hell out of it, and I was like, 'All right.' I did, and ever since I've kind of had that feeling for it. I basically take my four-seam and rotate the baseball — maybe 25 degrees? — and let it rip.
"I've had guys tell me they cross the seam on the slider, or that they try to hook the horseshoe on their slider. I want to feel both of my fingertips — my pointer and my middle finger — on the baseball, so I can really pull on those. I think fastball, fastball, fastball, and then I think, 'Pull my fingers into the ground.' That's what gets the spin for me."

cornishmaid replied to cornishmaid's topic in Sheffield History & ExpatsHi , thanks but the house was demolished around 1980 , so any street view or current maps just shows the flats that were built when the terrace of about ten houses was demolished .

cornishmaid posted a topic in Sheffield History & ExpatsI was born in Sheffield , Derbyshire lane in 1947 spent much of my childhood and youth in and around the city but now live in Cornwall . My maternal grandparents lived on Albert Road , Meersbrook , number 178 . Their home was one of a terrace which has the river running at the bottom of the garden , and looked over towards the park . The terrace was demolished around 1980 ish , flats built on the land and my very elderly late grandparents were rehoused on Cambridge Road, off Kent Road . I have a couple of very precious photos of the back of the terrace but sadly I have none of the front , I know its a long shot but I wondered if anyone happened to have any photos of the terrace which was just after the rounded corner shop where Brooklyn Road went down to the right , thank you . Edited to add that I have searched Pictures Sheffield , no joy .
Searching for a photo
cornishmaid replied to cornishmaid's topic in Sheffield History & ExpatsThanks , I did have a look there a few years ago , will search again .

My Nanan and Grandad lived for most of their married life at number 178 Albert Road Sheffield .The terrace of houses was demolished in the late 70`s , and new houses built on the plot . I have no photos of the inside or outside of their house and would love to see one of the terrace whilst I can still see ! Thanks a lot
Who remembers Stooers
cornishmaid replied to cliff1's topic in Sheffield History & ExpatsI remember the one on Valley Road , Nanan used to send me for loose butter, I can smell that shop now , smelled of parafin and moth balls The money shutes mesmorised me , a little cylinder shaped pot where the money was placed before whizzing across the shop to the office where a stern looking man sat and did the books, can also remember broken biscuits
Lowedges rd school 56till mid 60s
cornishmaid replied to mondeo blade's topic in Sheffield History & ExpatsI went there from 1957 , can remember a horrible maths teacher who would scream if you got it wrong and scream if you asked for help, I hated him with a passion . I also went to the Annexe in Greenhill Village , no happy memories from there either, just of it being freezing cold in winter !
Is this place in my dreams or real ?
cornishmaid replied to cornishmaid's topic in Sheffield History & ExpatsThank you so very much ! I went onto the website at Sheffield Library , found a photo taken in 1959 of Paradise Square, thats definately the one and a couple of streets around too , happy memories, thanks , Kate
Is this place in my dreams or real ?
cornishmaid replied to cornishmaid's topic in Sheffield History & ExpatsThank you, I`ll do a google search of those address`s and see if any ring a bell although the city has changed beyond belief since I left in 1980 !
Is this place in my dreams or real ?
cornishmaid posted a topic in Sheffield History & ExpatsI think it was around 1962/3/4 , when I was in my mid teens , that I had some time to waste in the city centre before meeting my sister . I have this place firmly fixed in my mind but as I now live in Cornwall , I cant get back to look for it ! It was, I think , behind the City Hall sort of area, maybe the Cathedral , a sort of sloping downwards square where there had been little workshops at one time, an industrial place where I think some of the Little Mesters had their workshops . Can anyone enlighten me as to where exactly this was, if indeed it did exsist ! Thank you , Kate
Smary , I can really empathise with this , my family all supported the Owls , except for Grandad who was a firm Blades man, oh the stormy seas we used to endure !!
I`m in Cornwall , born and bred in Sheffield but lived here, near Looe for 30 years and an Owls supporter too !
Are old people bleeding the country dry?
cornishmaid replied to Green Web's topic in General DiscussionsMy husband and I are in mid 60`s , both of us have worked and paid into the sytem for very many years . Alongside work , I have raised my children and also carry out volunteer work , two days per week . I think the title of this post is diabolical , you will be our age one day and I hope that nobody makes you feel worthless .
What books do you remember from childhood?
cornishmaid replied to Bloomdido's topic in General DiscussionsI remember one about a little black boy called Epaninandos ( sp ) loved it ! Kate
Can you think of anything I`ve missed please
cornishmaid posted a topic in Sheffield Pet OwnersOur cat has been missing for 8 days now , we live in Cornwall so I know nobody here can help, but just wondered if there was any more I could do that I havent already done ? Thomas is a one year old castrated male black cat, very friendly and adventurous . He has never before strayed , he is microchipped . So far , we have put posters up all around our village, in the shop, pub and post office too . Have rung all the Vets , council , police , Cats Protection , had a local radio appeal and put an ad in the local paper . The headmaster of the village school has put a photo and appeal in the weekly newsletter for us, have asked the postie and bin men, we have searched and searched, its like he has vanished . What I did want to ask is , when a cat is farm bred from semi ferrals , is it common for them to go walk about, is it in their genes ? Thomas seemed to be quite happy to be a garden cat but was also a prolific hunter and I am now wondering if he outgrew the garden , we are in a smallish village surrounded by fields where there are loads of rabbits . I always thought it was entire males who strayed, but wondering if this applies to castrated ones too ?
What are your opinions on my song please?
cornishmaid replied to m26uk's topic in Entertainment ChatI liked it , but I loved the Will Young - think I`d better leave right now , exellent !

Care and Share Food Bank for Southern Colorado is holding "drive-thru style" food distributions at its headquarters for the holidays.
Three more are scheduled: Dec. 14, Jan. 4 and Jan. 18, all from 3 to 6 p.m. (first come, first served). Those in need can receive fresh and frozen foods from the United States Department of Agriculture, along with staple items.
The food bank is located at 2605 Preamble Point, just east of the Powers Boulevard and Constitution Avenue intersection.
"While it isn't standard practice for Care and Share to distribute food to individuals and families directly from the distribution center, this will lessen the impact of operations and the transportation fleet," reads a statement from the food bank. "It will allow Care and Share to distribute food in a timely manner."

It seems like I spend a lot of time talking about privilege. Describing it, discussing it, debating whether a situation is due to privilege, or just coincidence. But what really strikes me is how polarizing a concept it is, and how negatively people react to it. I'm not sure the negative reaction is warranted, and I think the fault for that is multi-sourced.
Privilege, once you've stripped away all the politics and all the trappings and all the accusations, is the basic idea that some element of who you are can make your place in the world a little softer or a little harder than it might have been otherwise. It doesn't mean some people are guaranteed a hard or an easy experience at all.
Take, for example, one of the most common privileges: race. You cannot escape the advantage of being part of the dominant racial power structure. People see my white face and they make certain assumptions about me, and don't make others. It is less likely that I'll be followed in a store as a suspected shoplifter, and less likely that I'll be assumed to be on welfare, than if I were black or Latina. I can put a scarf on to cover a bad hair day without being assumed a terrorist, which might happen if I were Middle Eastern. I am not fetishized as 'exotic' because of the shape of my eyes or the color of my skin -- a daily reality for most non-white women, but especially for those of Asian descent. If I am chosen over an equally qualified applicant for a job, I don't hear the whispers that I only got the job because the company 'needed more color diversity'.
Finally, it's more likely that I'll be expected to have disposable income, AND I am closer to the 'beauty norm' my society embraces, so advertising is targeted to me, with models that match my own skin tone and vocal intonations. This means that I'm surrounded by idealized beauty, and that idealized beauty (save the obligatory 'multicultural' token models) looks like the people in my own family. I get the constant, subtle reinforcement of the message that I am of the dominant paradigm.
On the other hand, I fall to the opposite side of one of the other common privileges: gender. I can expect to be paid less than an equally qualified male applicant for the same job. My medical care is a matter of national public debate. What I escape in assumptions that what I've earned is based on 'ethnic diversity' I reap in whispers that I slept my way up the ladder or only got a position because the company 'needed more gender diversity'. I am more likely to be a victim of rape or domestic violence, which colors my interactions with men, my relationship model, and my personal habits. I have never voluntarily lived in a first-floor apartment, have even paid more or chosen a less-desirable location to avoid it, because of the possibility of peeping toms, or intruders coming through a window. When I began college, I received messages from every direction, telling me how to avoid rape, an overwhelming chorus of voices: Don't relax. Don't trust. Above all, remember that you are never safe.
More people, my first year of college, told me how to avoid being raped by a friend or a stranger than told me how to choose classes, develop study habits, find an internship, and work with my professors for my own success. I am told, daily, to spend an incredible amount of time, money, and energy on the fact that I have no right to expect to be respected or even safe and must work harder to secure these things for myself.
Are these examples universal? No, absolutely not. Am I guaranteed higher wages based on my skin and lower ones based on my gender, regardless of what I do? No, of course not. I can do things to change my lot. I can become aggressive about pursuing compensation, work harder and longer hours, and prove my worth. If I look or dress a certain way, I'll reap the same assumptions about welfare or shoplifting. But the essence of privilege is that, all else being equal, certain things provide an advantage. Two people of different skin colors, born in the same city to parents of equal socioeconomic status, educated in the same schools, wearing the same clothes, achieving the same grades and working equally hard, SHOULD expect the world to treat them the same way, and receive the same rewards. But they can't expect that, because it doesn't happen. A man and a woman who put equal work into school and their professional lives, who are equally qualified and competent, should expect equal respect and compensation. But they can't expect that, because it doesn't happen.
And the next part is important: the fact that it doesn't happen doesn't mean anything about them personally. Having privilege doesn't make you a racist. It doesn't make you a sexist. It doesn't make you homophobic, classist, ableist, or any other form of bigot. It says absolutely nothing about YOU except your demographics. Privilege is about where you fall when it comes to institutionalized barriers to success, not how you treat other people, whether you've worked for what you've got, whether you've ever consciously discriminated against another person. It means that the system tilted towards you in certain circumstances, and whether you chose to or not, you received certain advantages with that tilt. Most of those advantages boil down to not having had to put extra time, money, and energy into things other people spend a lot to overcome.
To check your own privilege is not admitting you had it easy. It's admitting that you could have had it harder, and that some people did. It's admitting that your perspective is informed by a system that's spent your entire life (and decades before you were born) affirming that the center of the 'normal' bell curve is arranged around an ideal that shares certain traits with you. Most of all, it's admitting that you acknowledge the barriers you never had to scale, and saying you want to tear those down, so that those who work as hard as you do can earn the same rewards.
And almost no one falls on the 'privileged' side of the equation universally. I am a white, straight, able-bodied college-educated middle-class thirty-something overweight pagan woman who suffers from chronic depression. Sometimes the world isn't fair to me. Sometimes it's fairer than I've earned. The privilege that affects my perspective is layered and nuanced, and I don't always pick it out, but like most people I'm pretty quick to see my own disadvantages.
Of course, this brings me to the final question: what do you DO about it? You learn to acknowledge it gracefully, you learn to listen when someone points out an advantage to you, and you stop to consider whether your perspective is based on institutional advantages. When you find yourself without privilege, you learn to call it out without necessarily attacking the people who have it -- instead remembering that its *existence* is the enemy, not its *beneficiaries*.
Most of all, when you find yourself *with* privilege, you work to end it, not by dragging yourself down or placing artificial barriers but by working to remove those barriers for others. My clearest example of this is that two groups of people worked to give women the vote: Women who stood up fearlessly and demanded it, and men who stood beside them and used their own voting privilege to extend it. No one thought to say that men shouldn't have the vote; removing privilege should not disenfranchise or harm those born to it. My life shouldn't get harder as barriers for others are removed, but the resulting fair competition should make us ALL stronger and faster.

Social Media Business Videos
Social Media Business Videos and creating content, are key to marketing. YouTube, Instagram, Facebook and other platforms are powerful ways to spread a message. However entrepreneurs, artists, musicians etc. are (or should be) focused on their core business and might struggle building capacity, or finding the time to create content for their social media channels. That is where Tyton Productions comes to the rescue because we have a video unit that produces high quality social media video at costs way below typical production houses. We don't intend to create the next soapie or television series, just windows into our clients' business.
Behind every successful person, business or artist is a compelling story. We help our clients tell that story: who are they? what do they do? what drives them? how can they help? what are their products and services? etc. because that is what will allow them to connect meaningfully to their market.
Typically this includes artists creating an in-studio video of their performance, or a business doing a show-and-tell of their company. But don't take our word for it, have a look at the examples above and let us know how we can help!

25th January 2011, Munich
Australian Wool Innovation (AWI) is to launch its new MerinoPerform PRO fabric innovation at the ISPO international sports trade show in Munich, Germany next month.
According to AWI, MerinoPerform PRO is a new knitted fabric technology made entirely of Merino wool, which uniquely transfers both vapour and sweat away from the body, enabling the wearer to stay comfortably cool and dry during exercise.
"Ideal for base-layer garments aimed at low to high activity sports, this innovation has been developed from a unique double-face 100% Merino fabric. During the initial phases of exercise, the inner layer of the Merino fabric absorbs moisture vapour thereby creating a drier micro-climate. Any sweat is efficiently absorbed by the fabric's outer layer where it quickly evaporates, leaving the wearer cooler and drier," a spokesperson for AWI said recently.
Made from an entirely natural fibre, merino wool, this new high performance innovation is also said to be ideal for consumers who are seeking an eco-friendly product.
"MerinoPerform PRO is a new fabric technology, designed to deliver the highest levels of comfort and performance during sports and outdoor activities, all year round and in all climates," the Australian company said.
At ISPO, AWI will also be showcasing a range of commercially available fabrics from the global MerinoPerform supply base, including MerinoPerform Next to Skin and MerinoPerform Advantage fabrics. For anyone at ISPO seeking information about merino fibre, AWI says it will have substantial technical information available on its stand.
As well as providing information on the specifications of its MerinoPerform technology, AWI also provides sourcing information for the entire supply chain and general advice on all aspects of working with Merino.

Lee Wei Ling: Lesson from LKY
"Let's not miss the chance to learn the lessons Papa's death taught us about ourselves," Lee Wei Ling said in her eulogy to her father.
Calling Westerners "the white man", she said, "Never be impressed by the white man who thinks he is superior to you. We are no less and probably more capable than he is. If Papa and his Old Guard colleagues did not believe that, they would not have fought for independence and built up this country."
Lee Wei Ling should say that to her brother and in Parliament to help the super talents have some confidence in themselves and in Singaporeans, and not be worshipping foreigners like God. See the mad scramble to hunt for foreign talents whenever a CEO position is left empty? Take a guess who will be the next CEO of SGX. No prize for the correct answer. I think the decision has probably been made and it would not be a daft Sinkie.
The generation of founding fathers of modern Singapore was made up of men and women of confidence, who believed in themselves and in Singaporeans, that we could build this country into a better place for Singaporeans. And they were not proud men and women that were blinded by their pride not to accept foreign help. Foreign help would be welcomed when a situation called for it, not calling for foreign help in every situation. Singapore was practically built with the hands of the founding fathers who believed in themselves and in Singaporeans. Foreigners were welcomed to teach and train us at times when we did not have the expertise, not to take over and rule us. We learn to walk and to run on our own, not forever holding on to a foreign crutch. Talented foreigners should be welcomed to compliment us, not to supplant us and replace us.
Look at the present bunch and ask yourself if they believe in themselves and in Singaporeans? Look at how they tremble in the presence of foreigners, how they go gaga in the presence of foreigners, how they faint when a position is vacant and how they scramble to find a foreigner to fill it up quickly. Look at how silly they look in the presence of foreigners who could con them into giving them millions and billions to do whatever they want.
Lee Wei Ling must instruct them to read her papa's biography, make it compulsory reading, and to learn from him about believing in themselves, don't shrink or shrivel in front of foreigners, and like Heng Swee Kiat said, to look at the foreigners in their eyes, wear high heels if needed, classical LKY teaching. Actually it is about confidence and not how tall you are. Did they learn anything from him? Wei Ling, better be quick before they bring in another foreigner to sit at SGX.

Please DONT talk COCK.
If the Old Man cannot inspired his children and Proteges to be as ggod as himself or surpassed him, THERE IS NO NEED FOR ANYONE ELSE TO MAKE ANY CALLINGS.
Time to forget him and let's move on.
Cannot and should not stay in the Shadow of the Departed and carry a useless baggage.
Got to have the Talented Younger Ones to move ahead.

I used to quote......
Love Yourself Be Kind To Others!
How about this......
Love Singaporeans Be Kind To Others!
Seriously, after looking at the
massive massive Qs round the
clock outside Parliament House to
pay respect to founding PM and the
massive massive crowds along the
funeral route under heavy rain,
it is really time NOW that we
start to treasure and love
Yes NOW! We must treasure and
love Singaporeans!
Start a new national slogan
Yes! LOVE SINGAPOREANS!

The old man is no God and would not do all the right things. There were good things and the not good things. That is why many are still grateful to him while some would hate him.
Just like political philosophies, we must be able to shift out the good from the bad, retain the good and throw away the bad. It is childish to throw a basket of apples away when a few are bad.
In relationship, your friends would not be angels, they come with warts and all. I have friends from both sides of the equation, but would not discard them because of some differences.
Be unhappy and angry with the old man for the bad things he did, but be grateful for the good things he did as well.

Lessons from LKY.
Enough already.
Get a life of your own.
You are not Lee Kuan Yew.
And there is very little that you can learn from him.
Better you learn to look after your elderly parents.
Because Lee Kuan Yew and PAP is not doing much to look after your old parents.

"This is the basic structure for every financial Ponzi I've studied.
Either the adviser or the custodian were ultimately under SINGULAR control, or the adviser had some form of influence over the custodian.
And amazingly in the tsunami of reporting that followed the Madoff and Stanford Ponzi scandals, none I saw focused on this key factor."

Dont know what Leegacy Redbean has found in the Old Man.
However, I do know that he had used up every possible ways to grow the Sin Economy and had to resort to the Vice Industry as the Final Engine of Growth.
And as if that is not enough, he imports cheap labours and his Son imports the Well to do to settle here. The Younger Lee has no qualm to have the Sinkies inform that he covets to have more billionaires to settle in Sin.
Supposing the Father and Son Team rule Sin for the Next 2 or 3 Decades, what do You think will happen to Singaporeans?

About the Artist
I received my college degree in Germany. I practiced architecture both in Germany and the United States before pursuing my Art interest as North Haven Community School's Art teacher for seven years. My interest in ceramics and my architectural education led me to experiment with clay hand building techniques, resulting in the use of clay slabs for both sculptures as well as wall art murals.
All ceramic pieces are created and fired in my studio space adjacent to my gallery on North Haven Island, Maine.
