A retired two-star admiral and former Trump Administration nominee repeatedly solicited and accepted gifts from military contractor Leonard Glenn "Fat Leonard" Francis, and used his position as commodore of Destroyer Squadron 15 to benefit Francis' company, according to a letter of censure released Friday.
The letter, signed by Secretary of the Navy Richard Spencer, details events from 2007 to 2009 when Rear Adm. Mark C. Montgomery accepted meals and hotel stays for himself and his family, while providing Francis with information about ship movements and the names of other officers he could invite to his lavish dinners.
The retired flag officer also lied to Navy investigators in January, when he submitted a written statement denying his involvement with Francis, the letter says.
Last June, President Trump nominated Montgomery for an administrative position at the U.S. Agency for International Development. That nomination was withdrawn just before the Navy announced his censure.
Although announced in November, the details of Montgomery's graft were only made public on Friday, in response to a Freedom of Information Act request from The San Diego Union-Tribune and other media organizations.
According to Navy investigators cited in the letter, Montgomery accepted gifts of meals and hotel stays in excess of $6,000 and helped Francis plan a lavish $32,000 dinner at the Pierre II restaurant in Hong Kong. Montgomery even signed a menu commemorating the event, the Navy says.
During the summer of 2007, Montgomery intervened on behalf of Francis' company and arranged for two Navy warships to accept fuel from Francis' company that had originally been declined.
Minutes after the company, Glenn Defense Marine Asia (GDMA) was notified of Montgomery's action, someone from the company, whose name was redacted from the letter -- perhaps Francis -- said of him in a comment "Top shelf friendship!! Ha Ha!!"
That October, Montgomery provided Francis with advance notice that a Navy ship would be visiting Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia, a port Francis controlled. In exchange, he asked Francis to put his family up in a Hong Kong hotel the next month. Francis arranged for an upgraded room, for which GDMA paid $2,609.
In the spring of 2008, Francis and GDMA paid almost $2,000 for Montgomery's stay at the Hong Kong Grand Hyatt, the letter says. Just before his hotel stay, Montgomery gave Francis five-months notice of the Navy's plans to visit Cambodia and Vietnam, the document states.
In December of 2008, Francis and GDMA again paid for a hotel upgrade for Montgomery and his family, this time in Singapore. When offered the $1,600 upgrade, Montgomery said he would be "thrilled" to take it, Spencer's letter says.
Francis, also known as "Fat Leonard" because of his size, was a Malaysian defense contractor who provided husbanding services for Navy ships in the western Pacific for more than 20 years.
His criminal enterprise ensnared dozens of naval officers. As many as 200 were investigated by the Navy. Beginning with his arrest in a San Diego hotel room in 2013, the Justice Department began unraveling Francis' web, one string at a time.
Among those in thrall to Francis was John Beliveau II, an Navy Criminal Investigative Service agent who served as the contractor's "mole", helping him keep one step ahead of authorities. In 2016, Beliveau was sentenced to 12 years in prison.
Other officers, accused of less serious offenses, received significantly lighter sentences. Those whose actions did not rise to the level of federal prosecution were turned over to the Navy for potential prosecution under military law.
Montgomery's censure is unlikely to quell the critique that the Navy has gone easy on its own. A Navy spokesman declined to comment on the Navy's decision not to prosecute Montgomery under the Uniform Code of Military Justice.
The Justice Department could not be reached for comment late Friday to discuss its decision not to pursue criminal charges against Montgomery.
Francis' tactic was to cozy up to naval officers as a friend, find out their weaknesses and then exploit them. He plied officers with cash, fine dining, travel and high-dollar prostitutes across Asia.
In a deposition in a military courtroom this summer, Francis said the investment was worthwhile. Officers would provide him with information about ship movements and information about other officers he might be able to target for his conspiracy.
Others would provide proprietary information from his competitors in the region, allowing him to tailor his bids for lucrative husbanding contracts. He was also able to corrupt those in charge of approving those contracts.
Francis would then overcharge Navy ships for services in port by inflating the amount of sewage his company removed from ships, for instance, or having his employees produce fake invoices from non-existent sub-contractors -- all in an effort to squeeze the Navy for millions of dollars in overcharges.
Francis pleaded guilty in 2015 to bilking the Navy for $35 million. He is cooperating with prosecutors while he awaits sentencing. He is battling stage four cancer and living under house arrest somewhere in San Diego County.
Montgomery, who is retired, will not face any further consequences for his graft while on active duty, save the stain on his record and the revocation of his end of tour award from his time as the commander of Destroyer Squadron 15.
Many officers from the Navy's Seventh Fleet await trial in San Diego. In total, 33 individuals have been charged in the conspiracy, with 22 pleading guilty. Navy Captain Jeffrey Breslau, the former lead public affairs officer for the U.S. Pacific Fleet, was the latest. He pleaded guilty last month.
Montgomery was the sixth admiral to be censured by the Navy. Two others were charged with crimes. Rear Adm. Robert Gilbeau was sentenced in 2017 to 18 months in prison. He was released last month. The other, Rear Adm. Bruce Loveless, is among the Seventh Fleet officers awaiting trial.

Another step to further recognize the importance of REIT in the existing financial market. It is going to be a tool as important to bond for balancing portfolio.
Short sellers are right but they are worrying
Soros cashed out his investment in Gold related. Jim is considering to reassess his short position in US stocks. They insist the world economy is in problem. However, never before all major central banks QEs are holding the markets or even create bigger bubble in years to come.
Personally, we feel that it is going to be low rate, low growth and mild inflation period for many years. But stocks and REITs will going up much more before a real fall. No one knows when it is going to come but I don't think in between 1 to 3 years.
CIMB – Buy on weakness as profit stabilised
Slight improved in revenue but profit increased to EPS 10 cents. We think is a good result and will continue be our top 3 picks of the year.
We added MBSB, EIG, OCB and TWREIT last week
We continue to buy in weakness. Mainly focused into MBSB. If price drop below RM 0.80 again. We will be more aggressive in accumulation.
How to reduce cost of living in Malaysia?
Reduce interest, reduce tariff, increase spending, easy loan for first time house buyer, reduce car tax, increase minimum income & etc. All mentioned are not structural approaches when the basic income driven mechanism is knowledge and skills. Cost is forever trending high due to universal rule of inflation. Increase main stream income is the only solution.
When above 60% household income below RM 6,000 per month. Merely 2 millions tax payers with income more than RM 3,500 for 30 millions population. The main street low income structure is obvious.
The key is education our ministers and politicians. Structural change of mid to long term fiscal spending on education and R&D. Excluding privates schools and colleges. Why we need another tallest tower when we can also increase spending in education? Doesn't spending in building quality education as compararive to infrastructure spending? We need massive educational related fiscal spending as catch up.
KHIND – consistent result with innovative small ideas
We like KHIND as we have personally used it's products. Innovative and reliable. With the consistent result for many quarters that we have monitored. We will increase our holding slowly.
MNRB returned to quarterly profit
For many past quarters that MNRB has slipped into red. 1st quarter of current financial year brought good news with back to normalise profit. EPS 14.5 is consider a good result. We would like to see improvement from next 2 quarters before we issue a buy call back again.
Tim visited to China and opening R&D by end 2016
Tim's move will ensure this big market segment for IPhone. We.see it positive with IPhone 7 launching soon. We believe a strong competition of Samsung Galaxy 7 will make Apple pick up more to get technically closer to all. Though I am a Samsung fan with particular in Note 7. But I think Apple IPhone 7 should do well. We long Apple shares since USD 107 for short term strength.
We will increase equities investment ratio
Our model is there is no crash ahead. But low rate, slow grow and mild inflation will be the scenario. Thus, we cut down our hedge and cash. We will move more focus into equities with stable business and trading under NTA.

The Club can confirm that Stephen Humphrys and George Williams have joined Rochdale and St Johnstone, respectively, on loan for the remainder of the season.
Humphrys made his senior debut for Fulham last season, appearing three times before joining Shrewsbury Town in January, where he went on to score twice.
Rochdale currently sit 23rd in the Sky Bet League One standings, and Humphrys could be in line to make his debut in Saturday's trip to Northampton Town.
Williams recently recovered from injury to score a brace in the PL2 against Reading at Craven Cottage, taking his tally to four goals and one assist for the season.
The Wales international has 17 First Team Fulham appearances to his names, and took in a spell at former club MK Dons in both 2014/15 and 2016/17.
Now north of the border, Williams joins a Saints side sitting eighth in the Scottish Premiership, with their next outing taking them to Hearts on Saturday.

- The uniqueness of food service compared to other FM services
- What you can gain by using a global food service specialist
- How Compass International Client Programme can deliver a "glocalised" food service
At home and at work our food choices define more than just our tastes: they talk about who we are, our beliefs and vision of the world.
Food is about local identity (the food we grow up with becomes a part of ourselves that we take with us wherever we go) but also, as we define our vision of the world, we adapt our food choices to it: our religion or our relationship with our planet, for instance, both impact greatly on our food decisions in ways that are often felt very strongly.
Besides which, there are health choices which force many of us to avoid some foods in favour of others.
In short, food has a unique value and strong moral implications which are less strongly felt in other FM services, where standards – however high – are more universally accepted and require less local knowledge and attention to individual sensitivity.
If you are providing food service for staff around the globe, you'll be well aware of all these elements and you know what you can gain by paying attention to local and individual food needs: more satisfied staff who are happy to use your food service facility, and more productive employees who will be aiding both retention and attraction
That is why a global organisation should "glocalise" its food offer and treat food as a separate service delivered by a global food specialist who willunderstand and appreciate culture-specific needs, support you with local knowledge and bring solutions backed by the power of its global scale. This can improve user experience, employee engagement and deliver savings in all areas of food service.
If you would like to begin the conversation about how Compass International Clients Programme can help your organisation deliver a global food service with a local focus, you can call Jeroen Kurvers on+31 655 86 05 13

All Access has listed Beyoncé's new single '7/11' to impact Urban formats on November 25th (one day after the 'Platinum Edition' re-release drops in stores). The song has been deemed similar to sounding like 'Partition' and serves as one of two new cuts featured on her repackaged self-titled re-release.
The track is helmed by 'Drunk In Love' producer Detail, Bobby Johnson and Beyoncé. Hopefully, the plan is for '7/11' to rise on Urban and then send it to Pop so it can crossover. It would be amazing if she debuted it at the upcoming American Music Awards but unfortunately, Beyoncé has become too good to fully promote her singles and I can't see it getting a video but at least we get something new to enjoy.

Pretty Reckless fans stoked about the band's upcoming U.S. spring tour can whet their appetite with video footage from their TV appearance last night on 'Conan.' The chart-topping New York alt-rockers punched out their single 'Take Me Down,' which hit No. 1 on Billboard's Rock Chart upon its release last summer.
Blabbermouth reports on March 1 the "Heaven Knows" hitmakers treated the popular TBS late night talk show's studio audience to a pumped up 4:08 minute version of the song. "Take Me Down" is the lead single from Taylor Momsen and company's third studio Who You Selling For, which hit shelves Oct. 21, 2016 via Razor & Tie.
Backed by an imported three-piece vocal harmony section for the national TV appearance, the ex-Gossip Girl star leads the band through a crunching live performance of the "Sympathy for the Devil" inspired track and oozes rock star cool as she launches into the first verse, singing, "Waiting at these crossroads/Forever and a day/On a guy/To buy/My soul."
Who You Selling For is available in here CD, vinyl and digital formats. Fans can check out footage from the 'Conan' show performance above.
The Pretty Reckless released an official video for their follow up single "Oh My God" last month. The band recently announced they will team with Soundgarden for select dates on the grunge pioneer's upcoming spring tour, which kicks off April 28 in Tampa, Florida, at Amalie Arena.
The Pretty Reckless will launch their headlining 2017 world tour with dates in South America, Mexico, North America, Europe and the U.K. The first leg kicks off March 7 in Curitiba, Brazil, at Teatro Positivo and wraps up March 18 in Mexico City as part of the 2017 line up of Vive Latino Festival.
Their U.S. spring romp begins with a sold out show April 25 in Boston at Paradise Rock Club. The cross-country trek will include numerous festivals before wrapping up May 27 in San Antonio, Texas, at AT&T Center as part of River City Rock Fest.
Tickets for select Pretty Reckless dates are available at AXS. For all the latest details on The Pretty Reckless, click here.

I love black tea with unusual combinations of spices, so I was very excited to try Arabian Kismet from Swallowtail Tea. This is a blend based around orange pekoe special Assam black tea with added sage and cardamom.
The full flavors of the black tea itself pair perfectly with the fresh and earthy sage, and the sweet and mellow cardamom. This is one of those teas that will work for any occasion. It has classic black tea for those staunch pekoe drinkers and a little bit of spice for chai lovers. But without the classic chai spices like cinnamon and ginger, this tea is much more versatile and unexpected.
Sage always makes me think of Thanksgiving, so this feels very much like a fall tea to me. The cardamom helps that image, bringing up spicy visions of the upcoming winter spice cookies. This tea smells like a classic kitchen or herb garden, but its flavor combination in a tea blend is a new and exciting change of pace for me. Great for breakfast or afternoon, or anytime you want to feel a little cozy and a little dreamy.
Here's the scoop!

Where to Buy: Swallowtail Tea
This delightful blend of Assam, sage, and cardamom might make you believe in Kismet after all.

Marshmallow Assam from 52Teas. . . .
Let's talk about campfires for a sec. (Stay with me, this is going somewhere.)
It's a summer night. You're sitting around a crackling fire with friends. Lightning bugs are buzzing around, filling the dusk with a whimsical twinkly glow. The smoky woodsiness of the fire fills the air, and you're blessed out on late-summer good vibes.
And what else has to be there? (This isn't an easy one, friends.) Toasted marshmallows, of COURSE. And what do you do when you can't be living in this midsummer fairytale? You sip this tea, of course.
This Assam is bold and malty, as they should be– but it also perfectly captures the perfect, spun-sugar-vanilla flavor of marshmallows. Beyond that, it brings that delightfully toasted, starchy flavor of a toasted marshmallow straight to the surface (especially when served with cream) in a way that's way more layered than just aspddinf vanilla to a tea and calling it "marshmallow". 52 Teas has truly knocked it out of the park with this one. If you're a marshmallow lover (or a campfire enthusiast, as I so clearly am), this one needs to live in your cabinet!

Mayfair by Bruu Tea. . .A Monthly Tea Subscription Box
This tea came from the February 2017 Tea Club box from Bruu Tea. Unfortunately I got a little backlogged due to a hellish couple of months. While this tea is not for sale on the website, it may be in the near future.
Thanks to the card I have a little more information on this blend:
A careful blend of Assam and Kenyan black teas are mixed with a sprinkle of calming Safflower petals to produce a wonderful, full bodied tasting tea with a slight mellow astringency. It's a high-class breakfast tea that should be savoured and enjoyed. Origin: Assam, India (2016 2nd flush) and Kericho, Kenya (2016) grown 6500ft above sea level.
Opening the packet I see the leaves are small and loosely chopped with bright red safflower petals scattered throughout. It bares a strong, sour wood scent.
Brewing Instructions: 1tsp – 100C – 3 minutes
Once steeped the tea is burnt red/orange in colour and bares a sour wood scent, similar to it's raw form.
The first few sips reveal a rich body with some sourness and a dry finish. Pleasant enough without milk nor sweetener.
The dry aftertaste increases to become moderate, which is perhaps the most negative aspect of the tea. The sour wood is nice though and has some natural sweetness.
It's a nice, strong tea but I think a splash of milk is probably for the best. It's too dry for me but the strength is desirable so it just needs a little help to be a great tea. This would be perfect for a breakfast tea.
Here's the scoop!

Nutty Healthy Butter Pecan Tea Hand Crafted by BlendBee. . .Pecan Assam
This blend is interesting…and healthy! I like healthy teas, who doesn't? The product description says that it includes black tea, milk thistle seed, dandelion root, eleuthero root, and butter pecan flavor. I was really curious about what all these healthy ingredients do and what they would taste like. Apparently, milk thistle seed is mild and nutty and detoxes, dandelion root is earthy and nutty and also is good for detoxing, and eleuthero root is mild and sweet and is good for detoxification as well. My assessment: this tea is great if you're looking to detox and also seems to be a good source of energy.
Smelling the dry leaf, I could definitely smell the nuttiness from the herbs and flavoring. Smelling the brewed liquid, marzipan came to mind. I am going to attribute that to butter pecan flavoring. I would describe this tea as woodsy, nutty, light, sweet, and buttery. I think it definitely embraced butter pecan flavor, but also added to it with the sweet and nutty flavors of the herbs.
It's really interesting because healthy teas do not generally taste good. Oftentimes they taste quite medicinal and you kind of have to gulp them down and then move on. With this blend, I actually enjoyed drinking it. The sweet, nutty, and buttery flavors reminded me of butter pecan ice cream with a hint of woodsy herbs. I definitely recommend this blend whether you are looking for a healthy concoction to drink or not. If you are looking for a detox tea, this is definitely one of the better tasting options for sure. But, if you just want something yummy to give you a boost of energy, this tea with deliver.
Here's the scoop!
Leaf Type: Black Tea
Where to Buy: BlendBee
Filled with roots & seeds designed to help cleanse your body and soul. This butter pecan infused Black Assam Tea will be the perfect go to tea after a night of fun, or anytime you want a pick me up.

The reasons to buy a Kia Optima at Kia of Auburn are short and sweet just like the new Kia Optima!
Why buy a Kia Optima at Kia of Auburn? Find out today!
The size and status of mid-size family sedans have grown in recent times, but only a few of them flaunt a thrilling experience and bold styling as the 2019 Kia Optima. Walk into any Kia dealer in Auburn especially Kia of Auburn and you will find this lavish and appealing Kia sedan ready for you to discover and explore today! The new Kia Optima is a an overall wonderful new Kia, but there's nothing wrong in settling for a lower version if price is a concern for you. Besides the common gas-powered model, the 2018 Kia Optima also comes in hybrid and plug-in hybrid models. If you are considering an investment in this car, you are on the right track. Here are a few reasons why you should give this new Kia in Auburn a try.
The 2018 Kia Optima looks expensive, but it's pretty affordable in reality. The car manufacturer has always enjoyed a good reputation in the market for providing well-equipped vehicles with a modest price tag. The 2018 Kia Optima sticks to this philosophy and comes with features that you won't expect to have in a car of this kind of price. Just like the new Kia Optima in Auburn the 2018 version has appealed to car buyers because of its roomy interiors. Both drivers and passengers can enjoy huge legroom, plush seats, and an airy cabin—all of which are laudable aspects of the car. With refined ergonomics and luxurious feel, the 2018 Kia Optima is the car you need for a smooth ride.
The 2018 Kia Optima comes with a standard 2.4-liter engine, which should be fine for most car buyers. But if you are looking for more power, then you have two options to select from: the top-level 2.0-liter turbo paired with a six-speed automatic and the 1.6-liter turbocharged engine with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. The upgraded UVO infotainment system in 2018 Kia Optima is considered the best in the industry. The system allows you to connect your smartphone in all trim levels of the vehicle. It also features a 7-inch touchscreen enabled with USB and Bluetooth connectivity to safe and seamless use of apps.

The Chowla conjecture asserts that all non-trivial correlations of the Liouville function are asymptotically negligible; for instance, it asserts that
as for any fixed natural number . This conjecture remains open, though there are a number of partial results (e.g. these two previous results of Matomaki, Radziwill, and myself).
A natural generalisation of Chowla's conjecture was proposed by Elliott. For simplicity we will only consider Elliott's conjecture for the pair correlations
For such correlations, the conjecture was that one had
as for any natural number , as long as was a completely multiplicative function with magnitude bounded by , and such that
for any Dirichlet character and any real number . In the language of "pretentious number theory", as developed by Granville and Soundararajan, the hypothesis (2) asserts that the completely multiplicative function does not "pretend" to be like the completely multiplicative function for any character and real number . A condition of this form is necessary; for instance, if is precisely equal to and has period , then is equal to as and (1) clearly fails. The prime number theorem in arithmetic progressions implies that the Liouville function obeys (2), and so the Elliott conjecture contains the Chowla conjecture as a special case.
As it turns out, Elliott's conjecture is false as stated, with the counterexample having the property that "pretends" locally to be the function for in various intervals , where and go to infinity in a certain prescribed sense. See this paper of Matomaki, Radziwill, and myself for details. However, we view this as a technicality, and continue to believe that certain "repaired" versions of Elliott's conjecture still hold. For instance, our counterexample does not apply when is restricted to be real-valued rather than complex, and we believe that Elliott's conjecture is valid in this setting. Returning to the complex-valued case, we still expect the asymptotic (1) provided that the condition (2) is replaced by the stronger condition
as for all fixed Dirichlet characters . In our paper we supported this claim by establishing a certain "averaged" version of this conjecture; see that paper for further details. (See also this recent paper of Frantzikinakis and Host which establishes a different averaged version of this conjecture.)
One can make a stronger "non-asymptotic" version of this corrected Elliott conjecture, in which the parameter does not go to infinity, or equivalently that the function is permitted to depend on :
Conjecture 1 (Non-asymptotic Elliott conjecture) Let , let be sufficiently large depending on , and let be sufficiently large depending on . Suppose that is a completely multiplicative function with magnitude bounded by , such that
for all Dirichlet characters of period at most . Then one has
for all natural numbers .
The -dependent factor in the constraint is necessary, as can be seen by considering the completely multiplicative function (for instance). Again, the results in my previous paper with Matomaki and Radziwill can be viewed as establishing an averaged version of this conjecture.
Meanwhile, we have the following conjecture that is the focus of the Polymath5 project:
Conjecture 2 (Erdös discrepancy conjecture) For any function , the discrepancy
is infinite.
It is instructive to compute some near-counterexamples to Conjecture 2 that illustrate the difficulty of the Erdös discrepancy problem. The first near-counterexample is that of a non-principal Dirichlet character that takes values in rather than . For this function, one has from the complete multiplicativity of that
If denotes the period of , then has mean zero on every interval of length , and thus
Thus has bounded discrepancy.
Of course, this is not a true counterexample to Conjecture 2 because can take the value . Let us now consider the following variant example, which is the simplest member of a family of examples studied by Borwein, Choi, and Coons. Let be the non-principal Dirichlet character of period (thus equals when , when , and when ), and define the completely multiplicative function by setting when and . This is about the simplest modification one can make to the previous near-counterexample to eliminate the zeroes. Now consider the sum
with for some large . Writing with coprime to and at most , we can write this sum as
Now observe that . The function has mean zero on every interval of length three, and is equal to mod , and thus
for every , and thus
Thus also has unbounded discrepancy, but only barely so (it grows logarithmically in ). These examples suggest that the main "enemy" to proving Conjecture 2 comes from completely multiplicative functions that somehow "pretend" to be like a Dirichlet character but do not vanish at the zeroes of that character. (Indeed, the special case of Conjecture 2 when is completely multiplicative is already open, appears to be an important subcase.)
All of these conjectures remain open. However, I would like to record in this blog post the following striking connection, illustrating the power of the Elliott conjecture (particularly in its nonasymptotic formulation):
Theorem 3 (Elliott conjecture implies unbounded discrepancy) Conjecture 1 implies Conjecture 2.
The argument relies heavily on two observations that were previously made in connection with the Polymath5 project. The first is a Fourier-analytic reduction that replaces the Erdos Discrepancy Problem with an averaged version for completely multiplicative functions . An application of Cauchy-Schwarz then shows that any counterexample to that version will violate the conclusion of Conjecture 1, so if one assumes that conjecture then must pretend to be like a function of the form . One then uses (a generalisation) of a second argument from Polymath5 to rule out this case, basically by reducing matters to a more complicated version of the Borwein-Choi-Coons analysis. Details are provided below the fold.
There is some hope that the Chowla and Elliott conjectures can be attacked, as the parity barrier which is so impervious to attack for the twin prime conjecture seems to be more permeable in this setting. (For instance, in my previous post I raised a possible approach, based on establishing expander properties of a certain random graph, which seems to get around the parity problem, in principle at least.)
(Update, Sep 25: fixed some treatment of error terms, following a suggestion of Andrew Granville.)

Power transmission at higher voltages has become very essential in recent times due to ever growing demand of efficient transmission and distribution of power. One of the major hurdles in power apparatus is identification, classification and localization of incipient discharges in insulation structures, during the operation of power apparatus. Hence, the present talk would provide details of UHF technique adopted to identify, classify and localize the discharges occurring in the insulation structures.

The background of the study is the importance of vocabulary as one of language knowledge that should be mastered by the students in learning English. One of strategies to master vocabulary is using English movie. English movie is an audio visual medium giving students a chance to expand their ability and to develop their English skill. When students see an object or an action, their curiosity to know the vocabulary may be increased. When the vocabulary is discovered, it is learned very fast. When the activity has been done by the students continually, it will influence their vocabulary power. The objective of this study was to respond the question ofhow much the influence of students' frequency of watching English movies to their vocabulary power at Eleventh grade of Language study program of MA NU Banat Kudus in the academic year of 2012/2013 is. This study used a quantitative approach with one predictor regression analysis. Regression analysis was used to investigate whether the raising of variable dependent could be influenced by the raising of variable independent. It was conducted at Eleventh grade students in Language study program of MA NU Banat Kudus in the academic year of 2012/2013. The total of subjectwere 45 students. The data were collected by questionnaire and test. The result of this study showed that the correlationwasrxy:0. 814, so the determination of index correlation was r2 (0. 814)2 = 0. 663.It meant that the influence of variable X (the frequency of watching English movies) to variable Y (students' vocabulary power) was 66. 3%. The regression similarity was Y = 0.777X + 7. 1493926164 so, it could be predictedif variable X increase 1 value, so variable Y will increase 0. 777 values and the result of regression analysis was Freg= 84. 70. In other word, it could be concluded that there was significant influence of the frequency of watching English movies to students' vocabulary power. It was shown by Freg= 84. 70 >Ftable for significant level 5% = 4. 07. Therefore, Ha: there was influence of frequency of watching English movies was accepted, and Hi: there was no influence of frequency of watching English movies was denied.

Ridgman Trophy Ten Bell Striking Competition 2010
The judges were Paul and Kate Flavell from Kingston-upon-Thames, this being the fourth time in its 23 year history that they have been asked to judge the competition.
In his opening remarks Paul said that they had expected a high general standard of ringing by all teams on these nice new bells and that this had been confirmed by the practice touch of the first team. They had therefore marked to an appropriately high standard. Each row had been awarded two marks if well struck, one if there had been a clip or a rushed lead, or zero for two clips or worse. Given the test piece of 200 changes, the maximum score was 400. Kate then went through the teams in the order of ringing.
The scores for the top three teams were reserved until the end of the judging to maintain the suspense.
Team 1
Peterborough Diocesan Guild
Practice had been impressive and the test piece had improved after a nervous start. An "almost method mistake (amm)" had been recovered very quickly. A good, competitive, disciplined performance that set a good standard for the competition.
Team 2
Lincoln Diocesan Guild
Practice had been much faster than for the first team. The test piece had struggled to settle in and a crunch early on had made this more difficult and maintained a level of nervousness which incurred more faults. Improved towards the end.
Team 3
Bedfordshire Association
They made very good use of the practice time with a good long stretch of opening rounds in which the rhythm had settled. The leading had been uneven at first but had settled and was exceptionally good by the end of the test piece. The ringing had been a little unsettled by an amm.
Team 4
Essex Association
They made good use of the practice and then the test piece was a little slower. A method mistake in the second lead took some time to recover, but did recover well so that the third and fifth leads were excellent.
Team 5
Hertford County Association
The practice was very impressive. The test piece had a good opening but seemed to be affected a little by nerves. Two method mistakes were recovered very quickly and the ringing settled into a good and consistent rhythm.
Team 6
Suffolk Guild
The start had been nervous and unsettled but the test piece improved into a nice rhythm, picking up occasional faults through strung-out backstrokes leading to seemingly early handstroke leads. Altogether a good and disciplined piece of ringing.
Team 7
Ely Diocesan Association
They set off briskly but the ringing appeared edgy and nervous, method trips taking some changes to correct. There were a couple of method mistakes and the ringing never quite settled, although it improved in the last lead.
Team 8
Norwich Diocesan Association
Good opening rounds and a nice speed. Collected some faults from rushed leads. Good ringing with no method trips.
Team 9
Cambridge University Guild
The test piece took time to settle, it appeared that not all wanted to ring at the same speed. Some method trips and uneven leading. The test piece improved and eventually settled at a uniform speed.
The Ridgman Trophy was presented by Bill Ridgman to John Peverett who received it on behalf of the Hertfordshire County Association.
Alan Winter as chairman of the organising committee thanked Paul and Kate for their thoughtful and helpful comments, and thanked the Church of St Mary the Great and the Society of Cambridge Youths for the invitation to hold the competition here. He complimented the church and the local ringers on the recent recast and re-hang and he hoped that all present would agree that a superb result had been achieved.
Finally a provisional invitation was given by members of the Suffolk Guild to hold the competition at St Mary-le-Tower, Ipswich (35 cwt) on the third Saturday in June 2010.
The Committee had discussed the method to be rung and had agreed provisionally on Grandsire Caters.

Nothing lasts forever, or so the saying goes. Eventually, it will be time to move to a new apartment, get a new car and look for a new job – you can't hang on to any of those things forever!
But how long should you hang on to your credit card? Like most financial decisions, the answer depends on a lot of factors. If you're not sure how to think this through, take a look at the details below – the Nerds are happy to help you out!
If you want to, you can (and maybe should) keep a credit card indefinitely
First, it's important to understand that you can keep your credit card indefinitely if you really want to. As long as you're using the card regularly and keeping your account in good standing, your issuer probably won't close it for you. If you like your card and want to keep using it, go right ahead.
In fact, there's good reason to be wary of closing a credit card, even if you're not using it. Canceling a card can have a negative impact on your credit score because you'll be instantly trimming your available credit. If you're carrying a balance on other cards, your credit utilization ratio will shoot up. This could hurt the 30% of your credit score that's determined by amounts owed.
Nerd note: It's a common misconception that closing a credit card you've had for a long time will immediately shorten the length of your credit history. A closed account with positive information could stay on your credit report for up to 10 years, so it's unlikely that you'll see the average of your accounts plummet. However, it's important to keep up with good credit habits. When the old account does disappear from your credit report, you'll want to have built up lots of other positive information to replace it.
The case for closing a card from time-to-time
Although you could hurt your credit score by closing a credit card, that doesn't mean there's never a good reason to do it.
For example, if you have a card that you're not using and it's charging you an annual fee, it's not worthwhile to hold onto the card. It's costing you money, and you're not able to counterbalance the expense by racking up big rewards. If this card has a high credit limit, you can minimize the impact to your credit score by paying off the balances on your other cards before canceling it. That way, your credit utilization ratio will stay in check, despite the cut to your available credit.
There's also something to be said for canceling cards you don't use and that have small credit limits (like retail credit cards, for instance). Keeping track of a bunch of cards starts to become a challenge over time, especially in an era of concern about fraud and identity theft. Getting rid of a few low-limit cards shouldn't affect your credit very much and could provide some peace of mind.
If you do choose to cancel a card, be sure it's paid in full and you've redeemed all available rewards before calling your issuer's customer service line. Otherwise, closing the account will be difficult, and you might end up forfeiting valuable points or miles.
The bottom line: how long is too long to keep a card?
The upshot to all of this? There's no such thing as "too long" to keep a credit card. If you're happy with your card and getting a lot of value out of the rewards, there's no harm in sticking with it. Likewise, if you've stopped using a card and it doesn't charge an annual fee, in most cases it's preferable to keep the account open.
But just remember that there are cards coming to the market all the time. Once a year or so, it's a good idea to look around at what's out there. You might find that something new trumps the card you've been loyal to for years. Also, you should reevaluate what you need from a credit card as your financial and personal life changes. A card that once fit your lifestyle perfectly might not be ideal five years later.
Be sure to check in with the Nerds often – we're always here to help you find the credit card that's right for you!

There are some things in this world which are uniquely American, like apple pie, inventing jazz, and using up most of the world's energy. And now you can add one more item to the list: the wake and bake. Though getting high before you even change out of your PJ's might seem like the most natural behavior in the world to an American stoner, it turns we like it a lot more than our pothead brothers and sisters in other nations.
A new report from the Global Drug Survey released last week gives a full, almost absurdly comprehensive breakdown of the world's cannabis use. Among the report's many discoveries was the revelation regarding baking after waking. It turns out that here in the home of the brave, 21.9 percent of weed users use their weed within one hour of waking up in the morning. For those who might have hit the pipe one too many times before breakfast today, that's roughly one in five potheads who are waking and baking on the regular.
By comparison, only 10.3 percent of stoners in the UK hit their spliffs within an hour of waking. Only 4.8 percent of Icelandish peoples get elevated that early in the day and in the Netherlands, which practically invented permissive weed-smoking, only 3.6 percent of ganja enthusiasts get with it.
A few countries came somewhat close to America in their wake and bake habits. 14.9 percent of Canadian, 15.9 percent of Greek, and 18.4 percent of Mexicans like a bowl of something other than Cheerios for breakfast.
The GDS arrives at their data using what they call the "world's largest drug survey," soliciting information from over 115,000 people in more than 50 nations. The 121 page report contains a couple of other cool factoids about current global cannabis use, including the statistic that most people worldwide still smoke "normal weed," as opposed to the "high potency herbal" you'll find in an average Denver pot shop.
Another American-specific cannabis fact is that, in addition to having one of the highest stoner populations in the world, we also have less interest in cutting down on our smoking than potheads in almost any other country. The study asked cannabis users if they plan to use less cannabis in the next year. Only 22.2 percent of American weed smokers said they would, the second lowest rate after Argentina. Meanwhile, nearly half the stoners in Denmark and Poland want to smoke less in the near future, with 44 and 37.6 percent, respectively, saying they want to cut down soon. Maybe that's because they haven't tried waking and baking.

The Ultra-Zombot 6000, also known as the Mega Zombot 6000 is a Zombot machine built by Dr. Zomboss that first appeared in the E3 trailer for Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare as a boss, but didn't actually make it into the final game. It is then seen in its sequel on Z-Tech Factory as an environment modifier and on Zombopolis as the final objective/boss.
The Zombot is known to appear frequently throughout the Garden Warfare series. It was first seen in the E3 trailer for Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare as a boss. It was then seen as a destroyed head in the zombies spawn on Cactus Canyon. Next, it can be seen as a battered head in Jewel Junction on a train. Finally, it can be seen in the background in Crash Course which is the last time you'll see the Zombot in Garden Warfare.
In Garden Warfare 2, it makes several more major appearances. In Z-Tech Factory, copies of this Zombot are being mass-produced on some form of an assembly line, being taken headless out of a hole in the ground with a claw, taken by the claw to a concrete platform and deposited on it, and then having its head attached before blasting off into the sky. However, if enough time has passed, the Zombot appears to malfunction and step off of the platform. If this occurs, it becomes a hazard, as it will walk in a predetermined pattern around the map. Plants and zombies who touch it directly will either be thrown back and lose much of their health or simply be instantly vanquished. It will also pause from time to time to shoot balls of energy at any plant or zombie in its sight. Next, in Zombopolis, it is being prepared for launch, to battle against the plants and serve as a devastating ally for the zombies.
Overall, it can be assumed that the case is that either there's more than one Zombot, and/or it's the same model (as can be seen in Z-Tech Factory).
- Its model is different from the Zombot in Plants vs. Zombies, as it has an enclosed head and shoots out lasers.
- In the Junkyard section of Zombopolis a severed head of the Zombot can be seen among other damaged mechanical objects. This head is similar to the Easter eggs of his severed head in the original Garden Warfare, but has blue eyes instead of yellow eyes.
- In Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare, a number of Easter eggs are seen of his head.

The MRI NO2 Nitric Oxide Story
MRI NO2® is the biggest innovation in sports nutrition since its creator, Ed Byrd, cofounder of EAS®, introduced creatine back in 1993. NO2, the Growth Enhancing Hemodilator™, generates nitric oxide to boost functional muscle strength, to provide full body recovery and to supercharge nutrient uptake into muscle cells. All while reducing inflammation. Plus, you get what's being referred to in gyms across America as the "Perpetual Pump."
MRI NO2 is the first of an exciting new category of muscle-enhancers known as hemodilators®. NO2 has the unique ability to perpetually sustain the flow of muscle-building agents to skeletal muscle.

Kenny Chesney is a name that should need no introduction in the country music world. As one of the biggest, most successful artists in his genre, Kenny has a reputation for being one of the best live acts you will ever see and he has a highly impressive back catalogue of music.
Admittedly, I haven't committed to Kenny's music that much, not through lack of interest but just simply haven't got around to it yet so you can imagine my curiosity and equally my joy when he released his double live album Live In No Shoes Nation.
I do love a live album, although it does make me crave going to a concert but I guess that is part of the idea.
I thoroughly enjoyed this album and it has made me want to invest in more Kenny music. As I said, this album made me want to be there, at all the shows featured. This double album features 30 songs played live across various shows over the last ten years featuring some of his best loved hits and some wonderful collaborations with Eric Church, Mac McAnally, Grace Potter, Dave Matthews, Zac Brown Band, Old Dominion, David Lee Murphy and Taylor Swift.
Each song for me was an education into Kenny's music. Some I knew and already loved such as the anthemic American Kids which is so addictive and often gets put on repeat in my house on the studio version but the live version is so fun, especially hearing an eager crowd sing back, which happens on every song as you can probably imagine.
With the above mentioned collaborations, it was exciting to hear the amount of cheers for Taylor Swift when she joins Kenny on stage for Big Star. This is a great collaboration and as a big fan of Taylor's it made me miss her shows as well as crave Kenny's.
Stand out moments were songs Boston, Flora – Bama, Big Star, Save It For A Rainy Day, American Kids, Down The Road, do you know what? All of it, all of it was an incredible surprise and as I said an education for me to Kenny's music.
Purchase Live in No Shoes Nation by Kenny Chesney here
A live album well worth a listen as should get you up on your feet and buzzing and no doubt booking Kenny's next tour should you have the opportunity.

One of my absolute favorite things is decorating for the holidays. I usually decorate for most of them and I try my best not to go overboard (except maybe at Christmas), but there's just something about decorating for Halloween and fall. I love all of the pumpkins, jack-o-lanterns, fall leaves, and cotton bolls. This cocktail is an essential fall cocktail. Sweet pumpkin and cinnamon, delicious RumChata, and vanilla flavored liqueur. It's like a fall dessert in a glass.
Yield: 1 cocktailAuthor: LouLou SucrePrint Recipe
Jack-O-Lantern Martini
- 2 ounces vodka
- 2 ounces RumChata
- 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree
- 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon + more for sprinkling on top
- 1 ounce Liqueur 43
- Add all ingredients to a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake vigorously for a minute and pour into a chilled martini glass. Sprinkle a small amount of cinnamon on top for garnish.

Today so far has been learning about foreshortening and above and below perspectives. These are my attempts as I followed along MikeyMegaMega here. Who, other than a fascination with large breasted women from the videos I watched, was extremely insightful about his technique and made it a breeze to get into it straight away and since I had been starring at a man make huge tits for an hour I decided to try a small nude, which I don't normally do.
I've had a tough couple of days as I missed my chance to go to Vegas to see my younger brother perhaps for the last time before I move home back to New Zealand. It depends whether we're up here for the holidays of not but if I am he said he would visit and that's a great feeling. I just made him his birthday present but haven't told him what it is yet.
I hope he likes it. I make a little bit of money selling stickers and shirts per month that once in a while I get to treat myself to a new hat or shirt or shoes through paypal. So I made and bought him this with that money. It's Lenin in Communist colours. He commissioned me to a painting of it but it won't be done in time so I decided he might want to wear the art instead of just looking at it. I love wearing my own designs over corporate logos and fandom pieces because it makes me feel unique and just a minor designer at heart.
I've been upped on prazosin for ptsd nightmares. Childhood-adult abuse isn't a joke. Now I take two or three mgs a day–I'm not sure. I forget honestly. I've got 19 bottles of meds to look at tonight and I can't even remember if I took this mornings meds. I just know I'm sleeping until twelve most days after waking to feed the girls.
I had an interesting conversation with my psych though. Apparently only seeing one person once or twice per week isn't a whole lot of human contact and isn't healthy but I don't know how to remedy that when I have so little money.
I have a mensa membership so I thought I might do the breakfast with them and see what they're like. I wasn't a huge fan of them when I joined the first time. I got a perfect score on my I.Q. battery and they were still condescending. I broke the damned test so it couldn't give a proper reading by maxing it out and they're like there's only one score that qualifies you for the coveted membership. I do like the card though. Makes you feel like a triple A member.
Oh on some good news I'm down almost three pounds and if it keeps going I may be able to go on a mild stimulant to help me stop binge eating when I feel like punishing myself.
Okay this is completely random. But I designed a new type of (I think–information is hard to come by through wikipedia and theses) nuclear reactor using single domain micromagnetics using hexaferrum eplison ferrite steel. Basically you compress the ferrite until it change atomic structure and it gains addition atoms which is where the radioactivity comes from. Plus because its a magnetic material if you surround it by pyrolytic carbon (which repels both poles equally) you'll get forced movement, so you get the spin needed to traverse graphene wiring to gather energy like a regular generator, but these are as small as physically possible so you could replace battery and be scaled up to any size to produce any amount. You just need vastly more pco than rotational material. You can also coat it in SiO4 (quartz) to keep it contained and warmer in space travel/durable.
But all you need is 13 GPa to compress the ferrite into hexaferrum, carbon has a GPa rating of 26 and you us diamond toppers and stoppers on the bottom and they have a rating of 542 GPa so that the whole thing is contained. And the greatest thing is if the thing opens it reverts back to ferrite and loses it radioactivity very quickly meaning no/less chance for damage to the environment and the user.
I got so annoyed at people ignoring me that I put the chemical break down on a hat and wear it around town. So far no ones guess what it is, but it'll be in the Asimov comic since the whole point of the comic is to expand on my designs.
I even sent what I had to Marc Gibson at Nasa but he ignored me since I'm self taught and could be wrong. Or perhaps scrapping his email wasn't the way to go, haha. Who knows. Who cares.
The inner binding agent between the ferrite atoms are carbon. You may not be able to tell by the white squares but they a 12 phase or two 6 phase generators since you use both sides of the domain at once or you end up with single domain micromagnets over time as one side invariably breaks down before the other. This way they break down closer together if the half lives of the atoms is relatively closed (based on atom diameter/circumference).
Ugh I'm so bored. I wish to create to my potential.
Have a wonderful night.

Having gold in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is pretty important if you're into the collection aspects of the game. The Smash Bros. vault has plenty of things to purchase with the gold that you earn in-game with things like music, costumes, and support items being sold for the currency.
The good news is that you can earn gold by playing just about every mode in Smash Bros. Ultimate. Classic Mode, World of Light, Smash Mode, Online, or Spirit Board will all earn you gold when you complete matches.
There are some ways to get more gold in these modes. In Classic Mode you'll earn more gold the higher the intensity level is. When farming gold in Classic Mode in Smash Bros. Ultimate, we found that 5.0 was a good starting point to get a nice number of coins for the time spent.
In World of Light you'll earn plenty of coins for Spirit Battles. The same goes for the Spirit Board. Both of these single player modes will net you a nice purse if you complete them. In World of Light it's pretty easy to outmatch the CPU with an overpowered party so the game does penalize you a bit if you do that. Try to use a less powerful party and you'll earn way more gold when the match is done.
Online matches is yet another way to get gold in Smash Bros. Ultimate. Though the way you go about doing it is a little bit different than other ways. You'll actually need to win matches to get another player's Smash Tag and then you can sell them from the Records option in the Vault Menu.
You will earn gold from playing Smash Mode as well. Every round that you play against either a computer or human opponent will earn you gold. After every match you'll see how much you earned for your time. The final way that you can get more Gold in Smash Bros. Ultimate is to complete milestone challenges. These challenges can be found in the Vault as well and each game mode will offer different tasks and rewards. Some of these rewards are gold coins.
For example: Removing an obstacle in World of Light will complete a challenge and get you 2000 Gold Coins. In Classic Mode, clearing it with an Intensity level of 3.0 or higher is a challenge that will get you 2500 Gold Coins.
At the end of the day, if earning gold is your objective you should always be trying to play at higher difficulty when you have the option to, to earn more gold for your time.
This Vault menu option is the big pink option on the main circular menu. At the bottom right of this menu you will find the Shop with a shopping cart icon. Open it up and you'll see what's for sale and what you can spend all that hard earned gold on.

text: I picked up an old Genesis recently. It has been refinished (originally it was wine red), had a neck repair, etc. The pickups were swapped out, but the electronics seem to be original. Oddly, the headstock was covered with leather, perhaps to hide the headstock repair. There's a matching leather pickguard, too. But the strangest thing is the back of the headstock: it is stamped "USA" and has a 7-digit serial number that I cannot verify on any Epiphone serial number website. What's going on here? Is it a prototype? I read an interview with Jim Walker (the designer of the Genesis) in which he said that a few prototypes were made in Kalamazoo, then the blueprints were shipped off to Japan for mass production. Can anyone offer some insight into this mystery? Thanks in advance...Gene

Track: 3rd Gear Drill Dozer Acquired! | Game: Drill Dozer | Composer: Go Ichinose, Satoshi Nohara.
In 2006 Gamefreak decided to give the action platformer genre a spin.They came up with a game equal parts Pokémon and Megaman... all badass! Oh wait, I'm talking about the soundtrack for this hidden gem of the GBA. Drill Dozer, produced by Junichi Masuda and directed by Ken Sugimori, the game bears no resemblance at all to the franchise that made them famous. This song is extracted from the moment when Jill (the Protagonist) collects the third gear for her Drill Dozer (The Machine), making the duo an unstoppable force against The Skullkers (The Antagonists).
Forgotten Cadences examines the less celebrated, but always unusual sounds of video game music.
