President Muhammadu Buhari has arrived N'Djamena to participate in the Extraordinary Session of the Conference of Heads of State and Government of the Community of Sahel-Saharan States (CEN-SAD).
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the presidential aircraft conveying the president and members of his entourage including some of his personal aides and three state governors landed at the Hassan Djamous International Airport N'Djamena at about 9.40am.

Legit.ng gathers that those at the airport to welcome the president included the ministers of foreign affairs and interior, Geoffrey Onyeama and retired Gen Abdulrahman Dambazau.
Others were minister of defence, retired Brig Gen Mansur Dan Ali; national security adviser to the president, retired Maj Gen Babagana Monguno and the Nigerian charge d'Affaire, Nasiru Waje.
Buhari and other regional leaders would join their host and current chairperson of CEN-SAD Conference, President Idriss Deby Itno, to deliberate on political and security issues, among others.
A statement by presidential spokesman, Malam Garba Shehu, on Friday, April 12 said the leaders would deliberate on state of peace and ways to address multifaceted threats in CEN-SAD area, especially Boko Haram and refugees.
The leaders would make a declaration on the entry into force of CEN-SAD revised treaty intended to fast track the realisation of the objectives of the body.
"During the opening session of the conference, special awards will be given to heads of state and military contingents in Mali, Sudan, Somalia, Central African Republic and in the Lake Chad Basin,'' Shehu further explained.
Created by the Treaty of Tripoli on February 4, 1998, with six founding members, Nigeria joined the current 29-member regional economic community in 2001.
The group seeks mainly to create a free trade area in Africa as well as to "strengthen peace, security and stability, and achieve global economic and social development of its members."
Delegations from 22 member-countries are expected at the extraordinary meeting of CEN-SAD holding at the Radisson Blu Hotel, N'Djamena.
Sudan which is a member of CEN-SAD may not be represented at the meeting following socio-political uncertainties in the country caused by the removal of President Omar Al-Bashir from office by the Sudanese military on Thursday, April 11.
Al-Bashir, had earlier indicated interest to attend the CEN-SAD meeting holding from Friday, April 12 to Saturday, April 13.

Malam Garba Shehu, the president's senior special assistant on media and publicity, confirmed the movement in a statement released in Abuja.

You are a senior at Astoria College
Scenario A – Course Credit
You are a senior at Astoria College and have been denied a tuition refund for a summer course MATH 3325 you thought you dropped. As though the monetary penalty was not enough, you also discover that you have been given a grade of WF (Withdraw Failing) for the course, which is not only hurting the exceptional grade point average (GPA) you have been building for three years, but it is also making admission to the veterinary medicine program to which you want to apply almost impossible. When you contact the school's registrar about the problem, he notes that while you did drop the course, you did so outside of the prescribed calendar date to withdraw without penalty and as a result you are not entitled to neither a refund nor a grade change.
Task: Write a claim letter to the dean of Academic Affairs, Dr. Neville Hodges (5833 University Blvd. Astoria, FL 34103), requesting an adjustment for your tuition and grade. Include relevant details to support your claim.
Scenario B – Banquet Debacle
In January, your organization (create the organization) held its annual awards banquet at the infamous Millennium Hotel in New York City. You, as the president of the organization, made all the arrangements for the event with the hotel's banquet manager, Deborah Vanderbilt, for a private ballroom to accommodate 150 guests. A deposit was paid and the final balance was remitted 5-days prior to your event on February 28, 2019. Two weeks ago you received a past-due notice from the hotel charging that your organization owes an outstanding balance of $600 for food services because your group did not meet the 150 minimum guest requirement for the selected menus, and as a result were charged the additional $4 per person fee. When you called to address the matter with Ms. Vanderbilt, she explained that the information about the minimum guest requirement is printed on the website and in all printed communications for the menus; the information is also on your contract. Your account now runs the risk of being turned over to collections which will cause an embarrassment to the organization and jeopardize any future business dealing with Millennium if not paid.
Task: Write a claim letter to the hotel's Vice President of Operations, Vino Delveccio (9640 E. 52nd St. New York, NY 10024) requesting an adjustment. Include relevant details to support your claim.
Scenario C— Cancelled Subscription
You have been a satisfied subscriber to HypeWear Inc for the past five years. As a subscriber, you receive monthly news and updates about the company, free samples of new products, and discounts on shopping for items online or in store. You have always considered Hype Wear Inc's products to be on the cutting edge. However, in a recent article published in the monthly online newsletter, you learn that one of your favorite products (you name it) will soon be discontinued. As you read the article, you discover several inaccuracies about the product that call into question the company's reasoning to discontinue the product, so you write a letter to bring the inaccuracies to the owner's attention in hopes of changing his mind about cancelling the product. For your efforts, HypeWear Incmysteriously cancels your yearly subscription. You are shocked and deeply saddened that the company has decided to take this particular course of action, particularly since your $75/year subscription is paid in full for the next two years. When you call to inquire about the cancellation, you are given the run around and no real justification for the action which is clearly punitive.
Your task: Write a letter to company CEO, Mr. Ravi Shankar, (300 Fashion Circle, East Rogers Park, IL 60626) requesting an adjustment.
Reminders—All letters should:
• be one page in length (4 paragraphs).
- have visual appeal.
- include all relevant information for the user to make an informed decision.
- appeal to audience's expectations, attitudes, and technical background.
- be delivered to class and uploaded into Blackboard by due dates.
Notes—Review the information presented in Chapter 14 as well as your notes to help you compose your letter. Use the textbook as a guide not as a "template."

Does your employer's 401k match really mean anything?
To me it engenders: "Oh, that's nice, another $4,250 saved for retirement" -- If I can keep it! Who knows if I'll work out at Big Company. $4k isn't really enough of an incentive (assuming they don't axe me). On the other hand - and this is truly psychological rather than economic, a 50% match would feel much more substantial $8500 each year. However, Big Company chooses not to do so.
In general a 25% match is not so much a paternalistic benefit as the minimum contribution a company must make to offset accusations of Top Heavy participation - an accusation federal regulators can make if the Highly Compensated (HC) individuals, who earn more than $80k, participate to a greater degree than the non-HC employees. Top Heavy plans require plans limit contributions by HC participants. It's quite frustrating.
Consider the fact that many companies no longer have the burden of funding pension plans, a 50% match is quite a small cost by comparison. Big Company is trying to become more employee focused, I wonder if anything new will come out.
At this point a 25% match means very little to me. Though I would certainly want a new job offer to offset what I might lose in unvested funds.
Regards, makingourway

Universities are typically very different here. Mine contibutes 8% and requires us to contribute a 1% minimum (which I recently increased to the maximum allowed $15.5k). No matching... that is just the way it is. You do need to be there at least two years to vest the employers contribution which is a good incentive to stay at least that time. Universities have more problem with people quitting than them firing them :)

In short, You are getting hosed. My "Big Company matched Dollar for Dollar to 6%" No pension but at least they throw in a good $15K for me per annum. Take your CEO clients advise and explore alternatives. I am not being a snog but all things being equal more compensation is a Martha Stewart "Good Thing" Also, ditch the "wait to approve thing" Blogging means taking the good with the bad" but never the abusive.

April 1, 2007 – The Canadian Federation of Poets (CFP), have announced the winner of 'Poet of the Year' for year 2006. Internationally acclaimed Indian Poet Nikhil Parekh has bagged yet another coveted honor at the federation. Featured in the federation's 'Poetry Canada' magazine and also elected its 'Indian Chair', Parekh is now 'Poet of the Year' at the Canadian Federation of Poets (FederationofPoets.com)
President of CFP, Tracy Lynn Repchuk attributed this great honor to Parekh primarily because of him being instrumental in seeking the federation National Government exposure and promoting CFP activities in India. Parekh's unceasing attempts of seeking patronage for the CFP, from the Governor General of Canada via several e-mail correspondences with her, bore fruit and brought much jubilation to the federation. The commencement of year 2007 brought ultimate glory to the CFP, when headlines broke of the Her Excellency the Right Honourable Michaelle Jean , Governor General of Canada, officially lending her endorsement and noble patronage to the Federation. This ultimate honor now to CFP consolidates its position all the more of being one of Canada's top Poetry Organization, as it inexhaustibly strives to unite poets from the world and revive the spirit of global poetry.
Nikhil Parekh, is also a double world record holder with Limca Book of Records India, only 2nd in World Rankings to Guinness book. He's entered the book for two prestige records of 'Being India's 1st and only Winner of the EPPIE award for best poetry e-book in history of the EPPIE Awards' and 'Writing most number of letters to and receiving the most number of replies from World Leaders and World Organizations'. Presently, the Indian Chair of the Canadian Federation of Poets, Parekh is also the only Indian Poet to be published in the 'Commonwealth HIV-AIDS Newsletter' for his poem on AIDS Awareness, in alltime history of Commonwealth Newsletters circulated till date.
The poet exclaims his being elected 'Poet of the Year' at the Canadian Federation as one of the most enriching and enlightening achievement of his poetry career. "I can hardly believe that I've been chosen Poet of the Year, an honor bestowed until now mostly to Canadian Poets and I now feel proud to represent my country here. Having won this coveted honor I shall endeavor my best to fulfill the aims of this great organization and shall keep writing poetry from my heart till my very last breath" says an ostensibly triumphant and 29 yr old Parekh.
Who says 'Poets and poetry starve'. Parekh's successes and world records in the world of poetry continue to astound millions across the planet; as they enthuse each dying nerve of the reader with a sparkling new poetic form and exuberance rendered straight from his heart. A visit to his website NikhilParekh.com enables the reader to perpetually transport into a world of poetic fantasy and also sight his numerous accolades/records from world over.
With the announcement from the Canadian Federation of Poets about Nikhil's honors and a 10-book anthology call, the next year proves to be very busy for the CFP, Nikhil, and any poet who is seeking to get published.

This past weekend Santa arrived at Limeridge Mall.
We headed over to the mall to see the incoming mini parade which included Sir Topham Hatt (from Thomas the Tank Engine), a couple of ponies from My Little Pony, as well as a few other characters, bagpipe musicians and mall staff dressed as Santa's helpers handing out fun activity/colouring books for the kids.
I hoisted Alexander on my shoulders so he could get a good view through the crowd. Then I readied my iPhone to take a few pictures and remembered that there was a front facing cam on my new iPhone. So I snapped a couple of quick pictures to test it out.
Then, as things begin to start, it was cute how he was yelling out: "I see Sir Topham Hatt!" at the top of his lungs as the characters began their march far far down the hall.
At that point we knew it was a good idea to take him to this. (We'd debated on attending the Parade in Toronto which was the same day, but the concept of the drive plus the possible 5 hour wait just to get a good spot just wasn't feasible given our schedule of activities and chores for the weekend. This little event was enough to kindle the fun excitement of Christmas without overpowering it with long waits and being stuck in a huge crowd far from the comforts of home)
I took a few pictures of the characters and Santa, but I'd been more eager to see the look of joy that I knew must be plastered on my son's face.
So I switched to the front facing camera and took a few shots.
Ahh - got to love this smile as the various characters are marching by.
And this one, waving at Santa as he passes in front of us.
Got to love Christmas, and, in particular, the excitement and joy my son gets in the various little traditions that we do together which make it that much more special.

Unlike many sites that I have been around, this one is much more welcoming than the last, but it doesn't see much activity, sadly enough. However, I am still happy that I joined, and I am happy to introduce myself as an American with a worldly interest. Due to America's terrible image around the globe, as well as their terrible foreign policy (especially recently), I would like to say that I hate our politicians as much as anyone else in the world does.
Either way, I am an artist from the state of Ohio who makes animations, new media art videos and CGI comics, each on YouTube, privately shared and DeviantArt respectively. I'm that one guy who makes stuff! I couldn't see a URL option on the bar so if you just search "AbandonedIntel" in the US google search I'll be the first result. ^_^
I'm looking forward to further interactions, and to actually speak to real Kurdish nationals. I was hoping to find a consultant to speak to to help me with a Kurdish character I am currently working on, for language, culture, etc. Because being an American who only knows English, there are only so many resources available to me to write so much.
Thank you for all of your time! Hope to speak to you soon!

Our September Stagepass concert with Portland singer-songwriter Laura Gibson was a farewell-for-now, as Gibson has started a graduate program in creative writing at Hunter College in New York. It's an interesting move for an accomplished songwriter like Gibson. Her delicate songs work their way to an emotionally resonant conclusion through a profusion of painterly detail, typically rooted in the rural West and in a slower time. Her last album, La Grande, was inspired by a stay in an historic hotel in the Eastern Oregon town. Some of her best known songs ("Come By Storm," "Hands in Pockets") evoke a longing or waiting through the passing of seasons. Gibson told us that she thinks of her songs like collages with images and details pasted around a feeling or an idea.
In the concert, Gibson was joined for several songs by guitarist Dave Depper and singer Sarah Fennell (of Lost Lander). They played a new song called "Empire Builder," which Gibson wrote on the train to New York. Empire Builder is the name of the Amtrak route between Portland and Chicago, and her own inside joke at moving her base eastward to New York City. The video has full performances of the concert opener, "Damn Sure" and the rousing close, "La Grande."

Gingerbread man
Run, run, as fast as you can, you can't catch me, I'm the Gingerbread Man!
According to the popular fable, the gingerbread man runs away from the old woman who baked him and ends up getting eaten by a fox. Odd fairytale aside, this little treat is an iconic Christmas snack across the world. The great thing about this delicious sweet is that it makes for a fun baking session, especially if you have children to help you decorate. You can make the gingerbread in various shapes like Christmas trees, hearts, stars or, if you have a lot of time at hand, an elaborate house. But the gingerbread man is, perhaps, the cutest form in which to enjoy this festive fare.
Makes 12 big gingerbread men
140g unsalted butter
100g dark muscovado sugar/ brown sugar
3 tbsp golden syrup (or use honey or maple syrup)
350g flour
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
4 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp ground cinnamon
Salt to taste
50g icing sugar
- Pre-heat the oven to 2000C/ 1800C fan/ gas 6. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Melt the butter, sugar and syrup in a pan. Mix the flour, soda, ginger, cinnamon and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Stir in the syrup solution to make a semi-stiff dough. Use a splash of water to bind.
- Roll out dough to about 5mm thickness. Stamp out gingerbread men, re-rolling and pressing the trimmings back together
- and rolling again.
- Place these onto baking sheets. Bake for 12 minutes until golden. Allow to cool.
- To decorate, mix icing sugar with a few drops of water until thick and smooth. Spoon icing into a piping bag, and make eyes and buttons, and a tiny smile onto a gingerbread man.
- Leave to set.
You can store the gingerbread men in an airtight tin for up to one week.

To Whom It May Concern:
I'm long overdue for my June 2009 Letter from the Editor, but I still want to give it to you. I'm going to try bullets to expedite and address some things.
- New opportunities — I've just been so busy with new opportunities associated with this blog that it's been hard to keep up with the regular features. Haven't quite figured out how to balance things as those opportunities grow. I do want to give a shout out to those who have reached out and collaborated with popolio here in Austin – Birds Barbershop, The Pachanga Latino Music Festival, and the GAT5 Summer Sizzle fashion show. The flow of it seems to be occurring in ebbs and flows, so, I guess I will have to deal with really busy peaks and when I have slower valleys, I can play catch-up.
- Deadlines — I want to keep up with the deadlines I've set-up here at popolio. I've been thinking about it. And, I think with features that come from me — things such as MY TOP 10 and Single and Listening I can be a little more flexible and that's fine. One MY TOP 10 a month and that could be any time throughout the month and two Single and Listenings a month, which could also fall at any point. Ideally, I'd want to spread them out throughout the month. Now, Tuesday Tease is timely, so, that has to happen weekly. And, anything that deals with an artist that an artist might be waiting on, regarding those features, I want to work on tighter scheduling. pop quizzes have been pretty much every other Friday. New feature Questions for has been harder to keep up with. I'm always in need of content. So, any artists and/or their representatives out there who want to be featured reach out to me.
- Michael Jackson's death — This is the biggest story of June. It's still unwinding as I type this. I've posted a few posts regarding the King of Pop. And, I'm in the middle of a MY TOP 10 dedicated to him as we speak. So, check out those posts and this month's MY TOP 10.
- The Austin Chronicle's 2009 Best Of Poll – I've tossed my hat in the ring to be voted as "Best Local Blog" in The Chronicle's annual poll. They're actually celebrating 20 years of Best Of. So, Happy Birthday to them. I'm still growing the blog and trying to get the word out, but I don't think I have anything to lose by mounting this campaign. I work hard and I think I write well and present a good blog. I'm about not trying to do what everyone else is doing and doing my own thing. And, if you do similar things because you can't reinvent the wheel every single time, at least you try to give it your own, different angle. And, I'm focused on entertainment not gossip or sensationalism and original content, which is evident by our interviews with local, national, and international artists as well as our pics of local events. So, vote for us in the poll's Media Section.
peace, love & all that jazz

Dear Year 5,
I hope that you enjoyed our trip to The Barbican to watch the London Symphony Orchestra perform "Dreams of Air and Flight" as much as I did.
Your behaviour was excellent, both travelling and whilst at the concert. I think you represented our school values extremely well.
I would now like you to write a review of the concert for me. I am sure that this will be helpful to the London Symphony Orchestra to know what you thought of the concert.
What parts of the concert did you like the best? Why? What bits were most memorable? Was there any music you didn't enjoy? Have you got any questions you would like to ask about the music or the performance? Was the concert what you were expecting? Were there any surprises? Did any of the instruments grab your attention? Would you like to watch the Orchestra perform something else? How did this trip compare to other school trips you have done at school?
I really look forward to reading your replies and I will send a link to the LSO so they can read what you have written!,
Many thanks,
Mrs Schneider
PS, I will put your beautiful bird pictures up on the blog as soon as I get a spare minute! If you would like to sing along at home here is the link to the songs https://soundcloud.com/paul-rissmann/sets/farther/s-bZ3tb

I Saw the Devil- Jee-woon Kim
Oldboy himself has himself a little hobby, he likes to rape, torture and kill bitches. He is kinda like BTK except less of a pussy because he doesn't go to church after. He stops his short bus to help Storm Shadows fiance how has a flat. He decides fuck helping he would rather shatter the window and her face. This of course pisses Storm Shadow off so he goes on a hunt fucking Charles Bronson style. First he straight up fucks up a couple of lowlifes until he finds the right one. He then sets out to make this guy feel the pain he has felt. The thing is how do you make a monster feel? Unless your talking about Frankenstein's monster from The Monster Squad its not that easy. You have to become a monster yourself. I will stop here as the ride is one of the highlights of this.
In conclusion watch this fucking movie. It is damn near perfect. The cinematography is fucking beautiful, I have never seen a naked Asian woman covered in blood and wrapped in plastic look so god damn amazing. The music is spot on and the editing keeps the story flowing more than an anemic on her period. The acting is flawless and well just about everything in this is perfect. We may have it folks the first perfect film of the year. I saw the devil and fucked me real good.

Yes will do that, it may take a little time though When I get a chance I will also do a correction matrix for my I1D3 too but using the actual screen this time.To do this can there be a variation if using DisplayCal instead of HCFR ?
Manni: maybe a typo, but the I1 Pro 2 is Rev E, same for the EFI ES-2000 that actually is an X-rite I1 Pro 2 simply rebadged.
There has been a lot of misinformation and assumptions posted in the thread recently, so after running a few tests I'm going to try to correct a few mistruths...Regarding the i1pro2 driver:1) The driver for the i1pro2 doesn't make any difference for the Autocal, at least here. Both in V11 and V12, the i1pro2 is detected if you leave it on the calibration tile when you select it in the software, irrespective of the driver (2006 or 2009). No idea why that didn't work for me in the past, or why it still doesn't work for some.2) The 2009 driver is installed by Calman, so unless you want to replace the driver with an older version every time you install a new version of Calman, I don't see any reason to revert to the 2006 driver if you're running the latest windows build. The 2009 driver seems to be working just as well as the 2006 one.3) There is no accuracy issue with the 2009 driver here, I have no idea where that comes from, at least with Calman. There might be a bug in Autocal V12, but it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the driver itself.This is with Windows 10 Pro x64 build 1909 and with an i1pro2 REV E. Of course it could be different with older versions of Windows, or with unsupported clones of the i1pro2, but this is what I observe here. If you observe anything different, please list the exact model of your meter and windows version and provide actual measurements, so we can try to see if there are incompatible combinations.Regarding the results of Autocal V12 with the Spyder X:I haven't received a version of Calman supporting the X yet, but I've done some limited tests in Lightspace with my Spyder X unit. It has a 5dE error on white, and a 1-2dE error on red and green (I didn't measure blue). The reading from the Autocal itself show the same errors when you do a log with the i1pro2 and the Spyder X, so there is nothing that suggests that V12 is doing anything wrong with the Spyder X. It just reads what the Spyder X reports and takes it as reality.
@ManniNo correction matrix with DisplayCal?
You can create correction matrix in DisplayCAL or use correction matrix created elsewhere (like HCFR) with it too.
Special note about the X-Rite i1 Display Pro, ColorMunki Display and Spyder4/5 colorimetersThese instruments greatly reduce the amount of work needed to match them to a display because they contain the spectral sensitivities of their filters in hardware, so only a spectrometer reading of the display is needed to create the correction (in contrast to matching other colorimeters to a display, which needs two readings: One with a spectrometer and one with the colorimeter). That means anyone with a particular screen and a spectrometer can create a special Colorimeter Calibration Spectral Set (.ccss) file of that screen for use with those colorimeters, without needing to actually have access to the colorimeter itself.
I was referring to something subtly different. When you create a new session within colorHCFR, it is asked which correction matrix to apply from a predefined list. This list seems to be embedded in the meter (or driver?). For sure it changes with the meter. And it alters significantly the measures. One of them was able to make the spyder measures closer to the reference. I was asking if displaycal does the same and in that case which one Manni selected.

Our group of 28 had our flight from Liverpool to Belfast cancelled
The Under-12 football team, coach and I were returning from a tournament in England. Our flight from Liverpool back to Belfast was cancelled. There were 28 of us altogether and the majority spent the night in the airport waiting to the following day to get another flight. When we got home we had to pay for another coach. I found out that the Consumer Council could help and got in touch with them.
- The Consumer Council investigated and negotiated with the airline on behalf of all involved.
- The airline awarded compensation of almost €7,000 (€250 to each of the party involved).

Praise For…
"The Night Fire offers more than a few incendiary surprises."—Paula L. Woods, Los Angeles Times
"Connelly is the
Raymond Chandler of this generation, and readers will be studying his writing
methods decades from now. He has created another novel that feels authentic on
every level, and the underlying theme of mortality running through the
narrative makes everything in the story more urgent."—Jeff Ayers, Associated Press
"There's something for everyone in this jam-packed
plot: murder, arson, professional rivalry, salty cop talk and noisy domestic
disputes that turn very ugly very quickly. Me, I go for the procedural details:
who does what and how things get done from the minute the cops on shift at the
Hollywood Division are sent to investigate a murder. Connelly is pretty much
the current dean of procedural writers."—Marilyn Stasio, New York Times Book Review
"Breathless action...deep character studies...The Night Fire is Connelly's twenty first
outing with Bosch, but the author has so much more to show us about him. Only
three books in, Ballard has even more fodder for Connelly to uncover. In The Night Fire, Connelly again shows his
mission: strong plots and sturdy characters."—Oline Cogdill, Sun Sentinel
"A virtuoso performance...The
Night Fire glows with the instincts and intelligence Bosch and Ballard
bring to their pursuit of the truth."—Collette Bancroft, Tampa Bay Times
"One of the
greatest crime writers of all time...Connelly continues to deliver winner after
winner, year in and year out...reading one of his books is an
experience unlike anything else the genre has to offer."—Ryan Steck, Crimereads
is without peer when it comes to police procedurals, and once again proves that
he's the modern master of the form."—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"Remarkable narrative legerdemain...Not only has
Connelly created another fully formed series lead in Renée, who has her own
fascinating backstory, but he has also forged a fascinating yin-and-yang
relationship between the old school Harry and the unconventional loner
Renèe...Master chef Connelly has once again combined familiar ingredients into a
new and completely satisfying dish. Connelly is on a roll, with three
consecutive number-one New York Times bestsellers. Don't bet against number
four."—Bill Ott, Booklist (starred review)
manages to top himself with his latest intensely gripping thriller...He
tells a superb tale with an economy of words using a no-nonsense,
fly-on-the-wall style of writing...Fans of this prolific author of crime dramas
and either series will find this best-seller-list-bound novel hard to put down."—Library Journal (starred review)
"Spectacular...Dark Sacred Night is ingenious, frantically suspenseful, and very, very bleak."—Maureen Corrigan, Washington Post
"Readers know that when they pick up a Michael Connelly novel they will get a compelling and well-written dive into the world of crime and law enforcement...What makes Connelly so much better than most crime fiction writers is that his police detectives are human and real. The combination is quality."—Jeff Ayers, Associated Press
"Michael Connelly is superhuman...His hallmark has been his precise, faultless plotting...He's always been especially good when it comes to truly creepy killers, and his denouement here is thrilling."—Charles Finch, USA Today
"It was only last year that Connelly introduced Ballard, a fierce and fascinating new protagonist who instantly emerged as a reader favorite. Bosch, meanwhile, is a grizzled veteran by now; Dark Sacred Night marks the 21st novel to center on him. But fans always finish eager to come back for more."—David Canfield, Entertainment Weekly
"One of the best and most affecting Bosch novels since Mr. Connelly began the Bosch saga in 1992...It seems as is the vulnerable Harry Bosch has met the sympathetic Renée Ballard just in the nick of time."—Tom Nolan, Wall Street Journal

Ask anyone in the Bay Area where to find the best loaf of bread, and chances are you'll hear one word: "Tartine." Founded in 2002 by Chad Robertson and Elisabeth Prueitt, the bakery has (deservedly) garnered what seems like infinite praise, and Robertson is often the primary person associated with San Francisco's artisanal bread renaissance. Now, there are plenty of other great bakers in the Bay: Despite the toast controversy, Josey Baker's dark, flavor-packed loaves are more than just a passing fad. In Oakland, Matt Kreutz slings wood-fired loaves for such fine institutions as A16, Fatted Calf, and Michael Mina. Further north in Berkeley, Eduardo Morell is quietly baking myriad whole grain breads and scones for Berkeley farmers market shoppers; his may be one of the best kept secrets in the East Bay.
While we should all be happy to eat a slice of bread from any of these bakers, let's take a closer look at two of the longer-running artisanal bakeries in the Bay. Which bakes a better classic country loaf?
See also:
Who Makes a Better Burger: S.F.'s Super Duper Burger or Oakland's True Burger?
Who Makes a Better Burrito: S.F.'s Taqueria Cancun or the East Bay's La Mission?
There Will Be Bread: The Newest Development in Food Culture Is Also the Oldest
Tartine Bakery: Country Loaf ($8.50 in store or $11 on Good Eggs for 2.2-pound loaf)
Tartine's country loaf is the bakery's most famous. This gigantic, naturally leavened batard was the first in Tartine's line-up, and was the product of years of testing by Robertson. While it's possible to try and make the bread at home (the recipe is the cornerstone of Robertson's cultish cookbook, Tartine Bread), it is far simpler to wait in line and shell out 11 bucks for a loaf at the bakery. Even better for those of us in the East Bay, it's now possible to order the bread online through Good Eggs, and have it delivered right to your door at dinner time.
It's almost a shame to tear into the deeply browned exterior. The bread crackles and shatters the second a knife hits the crust, sending a smattering of crumbs across the table. Inside, the crumb is open and moist, with a few large tunneling holes peppered through the middle. Small flecks of bran dot the otherwise soft, white interior. A generous bite reveals the recognizable zip of natural leavening and essential sweetness of the wheat. The crust is fully defined and separated from the crumb, with a faintly bitter taste and crisp texture. Toasting is a fine idea for day-old slices--it intensifies the sweetness of the bread and adds a delightful crunch to the otherwise chewy inside. But be careful with the toppings. Butter (and just about anything else) falls easily through those large holes.
Morell's Bread: Country Batard ($5.50 for 20-oz. loaf)
Morell's Bread has been around just as long as Tartine. Originally operating out of the Marin headlands, Morell had been schlepping his bread from the North Bay to sell it in Berkeley. Last fall, he made a permanent move to West Berkeley, where he continues to bake his exceptional whole-grain-focused breads. His country batard is much smaller and less dramatic in appearance than Tartine's, but, with 50% whole grain flour in the mix, it packs a punch.
Like Robertson, Morell exclusively uses a sourdough starter for his breads, giving the interior a distinctive tang. The higher percentage of whole grain flour yields a denser, tighter crumb -- and Morell's bread is nothing like those squat, brick-like whole wheat loaves at old-school natural food stores. Instead, its smaller holes give way to a slightly moist crumb, infused with the marvelously nutty flavor of the wheat. Even bringing a slice up towards the nose reveals the fresh scent of the grain. Stick the a slice of bread in the toaster and the fragrance will permeate the room. Unlike Tartine's open structure, Morell's tighter crumb more readily accepts a smear of butter while retaining its characteristic flavor. Morell's crust is a bit less pronounced than Tartine's; it blends more readily into the structure of the crumb, and a bite of both (even when toasted) has less textural contrast.
As always, it's a close call, but one bread has to win.
Color: Tartine
Crumb: Tartine
Texture: Tartine
Flavor: Morell's
Toastability: Morell's
Value: Tie
Winner: Tartine (by a slim margin)

Clarence Jones
Author(s): Janet Benge
Mr Radio
Returning to Radio HCJB, Clarence brought up the rear as the men rode in the dark along the narrow horse trail carved from the mountainside. Suddenly Clarences horse stumbled and slid over the trails edge, taking him with it. As horse and rider fell toward the canyon floor one thousand feet below, Clarence was not even able to scream. Although born into a devout Christian family, Clarence Jones wasnt interested in religion. It was this Midwesterners ear for music that led him to play trombone at Chicagos Moody Church, where he gave his life to Christ and volunteered for mission work. Clarences work began in Chicago, where he helped pioneer something unheard of-Christian radio broadcasts. Soon God called Clarence to go south with radio. Led to Ecuador, Clarence worked unswervingly to cofound Radio HCJB and the World Radio Missionary Fellowship. His legacy of broadcasting the gospel to the ends of the earth soars on the airwaves today.

AMG Systems' fiber optic transmission system and receivers form core of new network
AMG Systems, the British manufacturer of sophisticated Megapixel cameras and CCTV transmission technology, and Systems Integrator Ibam Systems have completed a vastly enhanced security system within Sharjah's 250-store Sahara Mall in Dubai, UAE.
Liz George, Project Engineer at Ibam Systems, says, "Compared to locally-available fiber transmitters, I found AMG's equipment to be very simple to install. What I personally noticed was that the link between the receiver and transmitter was almost instantaneous once they were powered up. The build quality of the equipment is of a high grade and the whole subrack and housing of the products gives the solution high class visual appearance. The high level of support we received from the AMG team was unexpected and very welcome. I would personally recommend their support and solutions to other Systems Integrators and for any of our future projects requiring fiber solutions."
Mustafa Shibu, Sales Manager at Ibam Systems, says, "AMG Systems' collaboration with Ibam Systems has allowed Ibam to significantly expand and upgrade the security and Public Address infrastructure in the Sahara Mall. In total, there are now 160 cameras throughout the entire complex, 27 of which feature PTZ. Areas covered by the new camera systems include parking lots, walkway's, and entrances and enable us to ensure the safety of the clients and staff of the 250 stores now housed within the complex. For Public Address, the system is divided into multiple zones to provide targeted announcements to different areas."
Leona Hayes, Business Development Manager Middle East, at AMG Group, says, "Our collaboration with Ibam Systems on this large-scale prestigious expansion project went very smoothly. The successful integration of our fiber-based products solidifies the position of Ibam Systems within the region while also increasing exposure of the AMG brand in the important Middle East market."
Ibam Systems is based in Dubai, UAE. Originally set up as a provider of telecom equipment throughout the MEA Region, Ibam has since expanded its operations to cover safety, security, building automation/management systems. The company has executed numerous commercial, healthcare, hospitality, security and residential projects in the UAE.

Three men in France were sentenced to up to 30 months in prison on Wednesday for trying to steal the mobile phones of train passengers by threatening a terror attack over its intercom.
The three men, aged 19 to 23, took control of the intercom on a train travelling through the southern Pyrenees region on November 18, just five days after the attacks in Paris that left 130 dead.
They made a Muslim call to prayer before demanding that passengers hand over their mobile phones or face an attack.
The longest sentence went to a 21-year-old who was also convicted for condoning terrorism after police found pictures of him posing with an assault rifle and "jihadist banner" on his mobile phone.
All three, who come from the southern town of Beziers, claimed they were only joking around on the train.
"It wasn't serious," the main defendant, who was not publicly named, told the court in Perpignan.
"We were just joking around. I have always condemned Daesh (the Islamic State group) and everything that happened in Paris."
It was a "joke in very bad taste by foolish youths," one of their lawyers told the court.
But all three were found guilty of extortion and given prison terms ranging from one year to 30 months.
"This was a train of terror. They knew they were going to scare people," said prosecutor Gael Candela.
"I was paralysed. I immediately thought of a bomb and having my throat cut," one passenger told the court.

by Louis Sachar is a fiction book.It is a fictional story about a boy named Stanley. He is just a regular kid until he is found responsible for a crime he didn??™t commit. Stanley always seems to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Stanley??™s bad luck got him into a correctional camp in Texas. There the warden makes them dig 5 foot holes. First he didn??™t get along with the others campers, but he made one good friend named Zero. Stanley agrees to teach Zero to read in exchange for help digging his holes. The boys at camp did not like them helping each other and they got into a fight. Zero ran away. The counselors decided that he might die out there with no water so they destroyed Zero??™s files. The next day Stanley decided to steal Mr. Sir??™s truck so that he could go and find his friend Zero. While driving he drove into a hole, so he gets out of the truck and starts looking for Zero. As Stanley was walking he saw a rock formation in the shape of God??™s Thumb. This is the place where his grandfather survived after being robbed by ???Kissin??? Kate Barlow. Stanley walks until he finds Zero underneath a boat. Zero survived by eating preserved peaches that had sunk with the boat. Stanley convinces Zero to go with him to God??™s Thumb. Zero is weak and sick. When they get to the mountain they start to climb but Zero is too weak so Stanley carries him. On the top of the mountain they find wild onions and water that seems to have run uphill at the top of the rock formation. After they regained their strength they decided to go back to camp to dig up Kate Barlow??™s treasure. As they walk they are covered by night fall. The boys return to the hole where Stanley digs and finds a suitcase, just as the warden comes. Then a flashlight is shined on them and they see they are covered with yellow spotted lizards. They stay still until the sun rises and the lizards have gone into the shade and away from them. The next morning the warden tries to claim the suitcase for herself. She tells the state attorney general that it is hers. On the side of the suitcase Zero sees Stanley??™s name engraved. He tells the state attorney and Stanley is set free, but he will not go without Zero. Zero is released with Stanley. It turns that Zero??™s real name is Hector Zeroni. When Stanley carried him up the mountain the Zeroni/Yelnats curse was broken. I liked the story. I would recommend it to my friends, but they have all read it already. It is a great story that children of all ages would enjoy it.

Liturgical Colour : White
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, on this Sunday, the second one in the entire season of Easter, we celebrate also the occasion of the Divine Mercy Sunday, which was instituted by Pope St. John Paul II in the year of 2001, after many years since the vision of St. Faustina Kowalska, to whom the Lord appeared in His aspect of Mercy, instructing her to celebrate the Feast of the Divine Mercy on the Second Sunday of Easter.
And she was also instructed to spread the practice of the Divine Mercy Novena, a nine days devotion which lasts in the period between Good Friday, the day when Our Lord Jesus Christ suffered and died for us on the Cross, and that of the Feast of the Divine Mercy itself on this day, the second Sunday of the Easter season. Therefore, we can clearly see the link between what we celebrate on this day with the moment of the Lord's Crucifixion and death, the hour of which, at about 3 pm, is called as the 'Hour of Mercy'.
In this season of Easter, it is most fitting indeed for us to focus our attention of the Lord, the Divine Mercy, as in truth it was the boundless, enduring and ever-present love that God has for each and every one of us sinners and unworthy people, that has allowed Him to extend such a wonderful and gracious mercy towards us. He does not want us to be destroyed and annihilated because of our sinfulness, and therefore, wanted to give us another chance.
That is why there is an emphasis on the work of mercy that Our Lord has done on Good Friday, on the very day when He willingly laid down His life, by bearing the heavy burden of the Cross, so that each and every one of us may be saved from damnation for those sins that we have committed. He loved us all so much that He was willing to lay down His life, as the sacrificial Victim, by Whose death we have been reconciled with God, our loving Father.
The Lord has shown us such great love and mercy, in reaching out to all of us, who are sinners and wicked, and He wants to heal us from all of our brokenness and unworthiness. He Himself showed us all throughout His life and ministry, in how He reached out to the worst of sinners, to those whom the rest of the community had dismissed as being hopeless and unworthy to be saved, like the tax collectors and prostitutes.
And that was what the disciples in our first reading today, taken from the Acts of the Apostles had done, continuing the good works of the Lord's merciful love, by ministering to the poor, the sick and the dying, providing them with both physical and spiritual care, and healing those who were sick by the virtue of the power granted to them by the Lord. And they ministered to the people in various places.
It is what all of us have also been called to do, to follow in the footsteps of the Lord Himself and His disciples, in doing the works of mercy in our daily living. Why is this important, brothers and sisters in Christ? That is because, after all, we must not forget that God has forgiven us all and shown mercy to all of us, despite of our countless and enormous, unimaginably wicked and despicable sins born out of our disobedience against Him.
And if God is willing to forgive us all these wickedness and all the countless wicked things we have done, then we too should show this same mercy towards one another, to all those whom we encounter in our own lives, following what God has first done for us. Otherwise, our faith and our love for God is not complete, as if we do not do what He Himself has done, then how can we truly call ourselves as those who believe in Him?
But many of us have not been able to show mercy in our own actions and deeds in life, especially because we acted in the manner as how St. Thomas the Apostle had done, as mentioned in our Gospel passage today. St. Thomas has shown us all in our Gospel today, his lack of faith and doubt in the Lord's resurrection, and he has always been the skeptical one, to the point of sarcastically commenting before the other disciples that the Lord was leading them all to their death when He was about to go to Jerusalem for His Passion.
And when the disciples saw the Lord and witnessed His resurrection, St. Thomas doubted and refused to believe the words of the other disciples, to the point that he publicly mentioned that he would not believe unless he was able to prove it by his own hands, that the Lord Jesus truly rose from the dead and not just an apparition or a ghost. He wanted to see if the One Who appeared was truly the crucified Christ.
This is exactly what many of us are suffering from as well, this inability to have that genuine faith in God, in His love and in His mercy. And the main reason for this is exactly because of the pride and the hubris, the ego and ambition that are within each and every one of us. It was ego and pride that prevented St. Thomas from acknowledging the truth and the reality of the Lord's resurrection from the dead as he could not accept what might seem to be improbable and illogical to him.
That was how many among the Pharisees, the teachers of the Law and the members of the Sanhedrin, the Jewish High Council also refused to believe in the Lord and in His teachings even though they should have been the ones who would have recognised Him first as the Saviour and Holy One of God. Pride and ego, their refusal to admit their mistakes and shortcomings, caused them to harden their hearts and to close their minds to the Lord.
That was how many of us also refused to accept God's mercy and love in our lives, thinking that we have no need for healing or that we are all good and perfect. But this is where we are exactly very, very wrong brothers and sisters in Christ. All of us are wounded by sin, and by sin we have been corrupted and made unworthy, and unless God's mercy and healing grace come upon us and heal us, we will have no part in God.
And if we close ourselves to God's mercy and love, we will also likely have no mercy and love in ourselves, and our lives will end up very miserable, for to us, everything around us will become filled with fear, with hatred, with jealousy, ego and pride. And we will be drawn even deeper into sin, into defilement and corruption, and eventually, unless God's mercy come towards us and we accept His mercy, we will face nothing else but annihilation.
That is why, all of us on this day, on the great Feast of Our Lord, the Divine Mercy, first of all we must lay ourselves humbly before God, humbling ourselves and dying to our pride and ego, and casting out from ourselves all these stumbling blocks and obstacles that can prevent us from seeking and from receiving God's mercy and forgiveness. And when we have opened ourselves and given ourselves to God's loving mercy, it is when God will complete His merciful works in us.
And then, having received God's mercy and understood the truth and the meaning of His mercy, I am sure that we will be able to appreciate how we should also be loving and be merciful in our lives. Let us not forget that all of us mankind are equally sinful before God, equally wicked and unworthy, and we should show God's mercy and love through our own actions, that more and more people will come to see God, the Divine Mercy through us all.
All of us as Christians are called to follow in the footsteps of Our Lord and His Apostles, who have shown mercy in all things. Let us all be humble, be merciful in everything we say and do, and let us all be role models and guides for each other that we may grow in mercy and love, and draw ever closer to Him, Our Lord, the Divine Mercy, by Whose love we have all been saved. May the grace of God, the Most Divine Mercy remain with us always, now and forevermore. Amen.

Alexandre Dumas: The Man in the Iron Mask
Chapter 19: The Shadow of M. Fouquet.
D'Artagnan, still confused and oppressed by the conversation he had just had with the king, could not resist asking himself if he were really in possession of his senses, if he were really and truly at Vaux; if he, D'Artagnan, were really the captain of the musketeers, and M. Fouquet the owner of the chateau in which Louis XIV. was at that moment partaking of his hospitality. These reflections were not those of a drunken man, although everything was in prodigal profusion at Vaux, and the surintendant's wines had met with a distinguished reception at the fete. The Gascon, however, was a man of calm self-possession; and no sooner did he touch his bright steel blade, than he knew how to adopt morally the cold, keen weapon as his guide of action.

Animal Welfare Approved
Forgive me if you don't see me jumping for joy at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) recent announcement that it intends to limit the use of a specific group of antibiotics in livestock production.
While the FDA's decision to curb the use of cephalosporins in food animal production beginning April 2012 has been hailed as positive step in the right direction, I'd say it's more a shuffle forwards—and a very reluctant one at that.
"We believe this is an imperative step in preserving the effectiveness of this class of important antimicrobials that takes into account the need to protect the health of both humans and animals," said Michael R. Taylor, the FDA's deputy commissioner for foods, in the FDA press release. Now, as regular readers of my post will already know, I am passionate about the urgent need to curb the misuse of antibiotics in intensive farming systems. So what's my problem with the FDA's recent actions? After all, surely this is good news?
As various commentators—including Tom Philpott and Mary McKenna—have already pointed out, I am afraid that cephalosporins are nothing but small fry when it comes to overall antibiotic use in intensive farming. During 2009 alone, the FDA revealed that 80 percent of all antibiotics produced in the U.S. were used for animals—that's an incredible 28,820,000 pounds out of the 36,080,000 pounds produced. Yet cephalosporins amounted to just over 91,000 pounds of this total—less than half of one percent of all antibiotics used in the U.S. The FDA's latest figures also reveal that cephalosporin use has decreased even further during 2010 to just over 51,000 pounds. To make matters even worse, the FDA's announcement is actually a (less strict) rehash of proposals that were first announced in 2008, and which were immediately recalled after the usual uproar from the intensive farming industry lobby.
So what's the real outcome of the FDA's recent action? Well, certainly some positive media fluff for the FDA for appearing to take a stand by banning a minor antibiotic that was clearly already losing favor within the industry, yet a minimal impact on the day-to-day workings of the intensive farming industry. A cozy coincidence? I wish it was.
This rather insignificant move forward comes after a preemptive, giant leap backwards made Dec. 22, 2011, just as most of us were focusing on the upcoming holiday period. Notably without any accompanying press release or media fanfare in this instance, the FDA quietly announced in the Federal Register that it was withdrawing its long-standing intention to compel intensive farms to limit certain uses of the key antibiotics penicillin and tetracyclines for food-producing animals—an objective originally set in motion more than 30 years ago when government FDA scientists first began to fully appreciate the risks to human health from the laissez-faire non-therapeutic use of antibiotics in industrial farming.
We all know the story since then—over the years, the FDA has time and again cowed down to powerful political and legal pressure from the multi-billion dollar intensive farming industry lobby and its paid-up politicians, as antibiotic use in farming continued to spiral out of control in the pursuit of ever-cheaper protein and ever-increasing profit—not to mention the impact of intensification on animal welfare, our health and the environment. In its recent announcement the FDA warns that while it has not "ruled out" future regulatory action, it will instead "focus its efforts for now on the potential for voluntary reform and the promotion of the judicious use of antimicrobials in the interest of public health." I bet Big Ag's CEOs are quaking in their boots.
Voluntary reform? Call me a cynic, but the FDA has got to be kidding. Despite decades of mounting evidence and the emergence of a global scientific consensus that the routine non-therapeutic use of medicinally important antibiotics on industrial farms across the world is leading to the development of life-threatening multiple antibiotic-resistant bacteria, the powerful U.S. intensive farming lobby continues to aggressively dismiss the science and deny any possible risks to human health—just as the tobacco industry did in the 1970s.
While the FDA's announcement of limitations for the use of cephalosporins in food animal production might well be a small step in the right direction, the FDA continues to show that it has no teeth when it comes to ensuring that the intensive farming industry puts human health before profit, so that these vital medicines can remain effective for as long as possible. Even the Government Accountability Office recently concluded that key government agencies—including the FDA—are simply not doing enough to combat the growing threat of antibiotic resistant bacteria to public health, and that "antibiotic use in food animals contributes to the emergence of resistant bacteria that may affect humans." Far from being the proud industry watchdog working on behalf of U.S. citizens, the sad reality is that the FDA is happy to play the role of Big Ag's lapdog.

U.S. Food and Drug Administration Bans Extra-Label Use of Cephalosporin Drugs
Center for Food Safety
The Center for Food Safety (CFS) applauded the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Jan. 4 for pre-releasing its long awaited prohibition on the extra-label use of cephalosporin drugs in food-producing animals. Cephalosporin drugs are an essential tool in both human and animal medicine, but mounting evidence has linked extra-label use of these drugs to the development and spread of cephalosporin-resistant organisms.
"This is a critical win for consumers, food safety advocates and the medical community," said Andrew Kimbrell, executive director for the Center for Food Safety. "But it's high time that FDA wakes up to the dangers that non-therapeutic uses of all antibiotics pose to our health and the safety of our food supply," Kimbrell said.
Cephalosporins are a vitally important class of antibiotics used most often in the treatment of serious Salmonella infections but also used to treat many other serious infections. The announcement Jan. 4 comes more than three years after the FDA first published an order prohibiting for the extra-label uses in food-producing animals of these drugs. That order was then withdrawn by the FDA before it could go into effect, citing the need for additional review of the public comments it received.
In its notice Jan. 4, FDA said that it plans to publish the Final Rule in the Federal Register on Jan. 6 announcing the prohibition of the extra-label use of cephalosporin drugs in food-producing animals. The Final Rule will go into effect 90 days from being published in the Federal Register and FDA will accept public comments for 60 days following the Federal Register notice. FDA's Final Rule will continue to allow approved label uses of these drugs for food producing animals as long as they are done in a safe and effective manner.
"The extra-label ban is just the first of many actions that FDA must make in order to better protect the public from the dangers of antibiotic-resistance," said Paige Tomaselli, staff attorney for the CFS. "Losing the effectiveness of critically important antibiotics as a result of our own misuse would be a catastrophic loss for modern medicine," added Tomaselli.
In August 2010, more than 180,000 citizens sent letters to the FDA responding to the agency's request for comments on rules governing the judicious use of antibiotics on industrial farms. Those letters joined dozens of scientific experts and public interest organizations calling on FDA to tighten oversight and curtail misuse and overuse of antibiotics on industrial farms. In its comments to the FDA, CFS thanked FDA for initiating discussion on the critical issue but expressed deep concern that its measures would not be voluntarily implemented and that regulation mandating immediate action is required instead. Further, in the absence of a clear timeline and strict goals, CFS stressed that the agency's approach lacked the urgency that this critical issue demands.

And while I'm asking questions about required checkboxes, it would also be extremely swell to be able to require a minimum or maximum number of checks. :)
- JotForm SupportNeilVicenteAnswered on May 30, 2011 at 04:38 PM
Hello Robin,
We do not have such a feature available within the Form Builder, but upon searching the web, I found a solution that might work perfectly.
Check this webpage out to see the solution. Do note that it would only be possible to implement if you embedded using source code. That is because custom JavaScript cannot be added onto the form using the Form Builder. The codes will just get stripped out.
So if you used script embed codes, you can just insert those Checkbox Limiter codes to make it work.
- robinowsleyAnswered on May 30, 2011 at 06:59 PM
Thanks, I'll certainly look into that, but is there any particular reason this couldn't just be added as a regular jotform feature? :)
- JotForm SupportliyamAnswered on May 31, 2011 at 03:38 AM
Hello robinowsley,
I have submitted a ticket to the developers for request to add the feature to their todo list. Unfortunately, there can be no specific time frame to when this feature will be implemented as the development team is pretty busy making Jotform better.
Once this feature is implemented, We'll let everyone know.
Thanks and warm regards,
- allanftdAnswered on May 31, 2011 at 03:48 AM
Hi Robin,
Thanks for the feedback. We are actually not closing our doors on the possibility of impementing this feature. In fact, I'm going to help you send this over to our Development Team right now so that they can evaluate the possibility of including this feature on the next upgrade. We'll let you know as soon as updates become available.
If you have any other ideas and suggestions, please do not hesitate to share it with us. Thank you for using JotForm!
- JotForm FounderaytekinAnswered on May 31, 2011 at 04:07 AM
We have added this as a feature request. Thanks.
- magnafineartAnswered on August 14, 2012 at 03:16 PM
Is this feature available yet? I need to limit the number of checkboxes a user can select to 5 out of a possible 25. Just wondering the status on this and if it has been implemented, where is this feature under. Thank you!
- JotForm SupportjonathanAnswered on August 14, 2012 at 04:52 PM
Hi, this feature is not yet available as it is still queued in feature request list.
For the meantime, if such functionality is now a must on your form, you may want to apply the suggested resolution by NeilVicente from this website. This involves using the form source code embed and applying javascript function.
Hope this help. Please inform us if you need assistance applying the suggested resolution.

New Book Today!
Yay! I just got the book Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor. For some reason waterstones classed it as adult fantasy fiction but I'm pretty sure it's a YA book. Anyway it took me half an hour to find it as there, for some reason, was only one person running the branch and they were behind the extremely busy desk.
Anyway, I got it so there should be a review on it in one-two weeks depending on whether I finish it on time.
I already recommend reading it after only reading the first two chapters. The were, beyond amazing. The city of Prague at the beginning was beautiful and astonishing.
Errand requiring immediate attention. Come.
The note was on vellum, pierced by the talons of the almost-crow that delivered it. Karou read the message. 'He never says please', she sighed, but she gathered up her things.
When Brimstone called, she always came.
In general, Karou has managed to keep her two lives in balance. On the one hand, she's a seventeen-year-old art student in Prague; on the other, errand-girl to a monstrous creature who is the closest thing she has to family. Raised half in our world, half in 'Elsewhere', she has never understood Brimstone's dark work – buying teeth from hunters and murderers – nor how she cameinto his keeping. She is a secret even to herself, plagued by the sensation that she isn't whole.
Now the doors to Elsewhere are closing, and Karou must choose between the safety of her human life and the dangers of a war-ravaged world that may hold the answers she has always sought.
It is part of the
Daughter of Smoke and Bone Trilogy by Laini Taylor.

'Happy Wok' on Endangered List as its Delancey Street Space Hits the Market for $13K
For a stretch of retail on borrowed time, 156-164 Delancey Street sure stays fresh with commercial turnover. Indeed, within the last eighteen months, a dollar pizza joint and Coco bubble tea dispensary signed leases. Not to mention, Boost Mobile and Cricket Wireless.
However, one of the stalwarts on this low-rise block might soon fade into the history books. It appears as though the Happy Wok Chinese restaurant is now on the endangered list.
The 650 square-foot space is being pitched in Craigslist real estate listings as a restaurant opportunity with $13,000 per month in rent (plus key) that is "slightly negotiable."
Given all the activity here, it's clear that those bygone plans to sell and redevelop this strip strip are at a standstill. The single-story building straddling 156-164 Delancey Street has been on and off the market several times in recent years. Most recently, in October 2015 for the reduced asking amount of $15 million. That price point was still more than two-fold increase in what Ashkenazy Investments paid four years ago.

I have never been a fan of beef stew. Never, ever, ever. Every year on our birthdays, my mom would let us pick our favourite meal. Every year my brother Tom always picked stew. I always thought he was wasting his choice, because to my mind beef stew was disgusting and shouldn't been consumed on any day of the year, let alone your birthday. (My choice, if you're wondering, was lasagna. Yum.)
Fast forward a few decades. Needless to say, my palate and food choices have become much wider. I've eaten things I would have never dreamed possible in suburban New Jersey in the 1980s. Since I got married, my husband, who likes stew, kept telling me I would like it. I'd look at the component parts in the recipe and figured I'd give it another go. Given that I didn't mind the component parts, surely as an older and wiser woman I would like beef stew.
As I've tried a variety of recipes, both here on Cookbook A Month and on my own, the results have been mixed. While I certainly have moved away from the "I Hate All Beef Stew" opinion, it's never a sure bet that I'll like it.
I'll spare you the suspense: I liked this one! It made the house smell nice on a cold February afternoon, it was from the long-and-slow school of cooking, which I love, and it was delicious. Kudos to the fine butchers at Dring's who not only helped me pick out the correct beef, but also gave me the most excellent tip to make dumplings for the top, which were fantastic.
However– and there's always a however to ruin the fun– while I liked it, the other two-thirds of my family did not. For this stew, you add some lemon peel for the slow cook. They thought the lemon taste was too overwhelming and didn't fit in with beef stew. I disagreed, saying that it made the dish lighter and more interesting. Regardless, it was not a 100 percent success, so I don't know if I'll be making it again.
Too bad.

Around 400 drivers in the Aslef union struck on Friday of last week bringing the Silverlink company's service to a halt. The strike hit London commuter services, including from Milton Keynes and Watford.
Over 90 percent of drivers voted in favour of action over pensions. The union says that past agreements to make pay rises count towards pensions have not been honoured by the company – and that this is seriously eroding the value of its members' pensions.
Mick Whelan, Aslef district organiser, told Socialist Worker, "The strike went wonderfully well. We leafleted Euston station.
"The union has proposed six successive strikes on Fridays, beginning with last week's. We were to meet with management on Monday of this week."
Simon Webber, an Aslef executive member who visited the picket line at Euston station in London, told Socialist Worker, "The strike was 100 percent solid.
"There were a couple of areas where the pensions issue doesn't affect members.
"But when the company refused the union's offer of taking it into binding arbitration, they saw the company for what it is—completely

A comprehensive knowledge of all the factors involved in splicing, both proteins and RNAs, and of their interaction network is crucial for reaching a better understanding of this process and its functions. A large part of relevant information is buried in the literature or collected in various different databases. By hand-curated screenings of literature and databases we retrieved experimentally assessed data on 71 human RNA-binding splicing regulatory proteins and organized them into a database called "SpliceAid-F". For each splicing factor (SF) the database reports its functional domains and its protein and chemical interactors. Furthermore, we collected experimentally validated RNA-SF interactions, including relevant information on the RNA binding sites such as the genes where these sites lie, their genomic coordinates, the splicing effects, experimental procedures, as well as the corresponding bibliographic references. We also collected information from experiments showing no RNA-SF binding, at least in the assayed conditions. In total, SpliceAid-F contains 4227 interactions, 2622 RNA binding sites and 1170 no-binding sites, including information on binding and no-binding specificity in different cellular contexts. Data collected in SpliceAid-F can provide significant information to explain an observed splicing pattern as well as the effect of mutations in functional regulatory elements. ...
