If you have a strong, deliberate, and melancholic child motivation can be a difficult thing. Getting them to jump in a project and get started is the hardest part, I hope these tips will help you.

This is the last post in our series about motivating our kids. We've already discussed the many reasons throughout their childhood we'll want to motivate them.
To do chores, to do homework, to make plans for their future, to go to church or join a club or be nice. Or pretty much anything.
Before we talk about how to motivate your idealistic little one, let's review some characteristics of the melancholic serious child.
Characteristics of the Serious + Deliberate Melancholic Child:
- introverted
- logical
- analytical
- suspicious
- self-sacrificing
- serious
- hates risk
- fears being wrong
- attentive to detail
- reserved
- cautious and indirect
- private
- negative attitude towards change
- idealistic
- sensitive to injustice
- needs a lot of information and reassurance
- optimizer
- gifted
The biggest problem you'll have with motivating your Strong + Deliberate child is probably getting them to start something. They are such great researchers, thinkers, and analyzers, they often freeze before action.
Perfectionism can be a real struggle with this type of personality, so here are some ways to help motivate them.
Read: How to help your child overcome perfectionism
Help them see the most important
Because Strong + Deliberate children are detailed oriented, they will often see so many things they aren't sure where to focus. They can "major in the minors" very easily and get so bogged down they find it hard to start.
With small children, this might manifest with something as simple as cleaning their room. They might not know where to begin or where to start and it can seem overwhelming.
From a young age, in age appropriate ways, help them learn to not just see the trees, but see the forest. Learn to help them major on the majors and minor on the minors. This will be a lifelong challenge, but you can set them off on the right foot.
Break it into small tasks
If your child already borders on being a "paralyzed perfectionist" the best thing you can do is to help them break larger tasks or project down into small tasks. A big school project can be broken down into steps.
Getting a job, for example, can be broken down into thinking about skills, writing a resume, making a list of potential jobs, and submitting applications.
Help teach your child to think in small steps as opposed to larger steps. While they will want and gather a ton of information, that in itself can make something become even more overwhelming since it'll feel So Big.
Assure them of their capability
The melancholic personality is not a naturally confident one. While they are often very intelligent, gifted even, since they are so idealistic even they fall short of their ideals. They may be the top of their class but consider themselves a failure since they did this or that that wasn't Just Right.
When encouraging them they are capable, be sure give them sincere and specific praise for their achievements. Since they are like self-critical, be sure you are praising them for something authentic, but use any opportunity you can to show them they are capable and can do things well.
My son responds really well when I say, "This is really hard, isn't it? Lucky for you, you can do hard things." If I don't acknowledge it's hard, he'll just use all his effort attempting to convince me he can't do it.
Do not say "don't worry" or "it's nothing to be scared of"
This will not work out in your favor. If they are already worried or fearful, telling them there's nothing to worry about will just make them think you don't understand. Then they will tell you that you're wrong and just don't get it and they'll work harder to make you think it's bad.
Then you'll work even harder to convince them they're overreacting. So they'll go even further to show you that you just don't get it. See how this works?
If you don't want your child to shut down – and you don't – acknowledge their feelings without joining in their pity party. Don't let them over empathize the fear.
Calmly and kindly let them know you get it, but spur them on towards the positive aspects of accomplishment or trying hard.
Brainstorm with, not for them
When your child is reluctant to act, or is feeling overwhelmed, try to help them brainstorm. Ask them questions to draw out their fears, worries, or concerns. If they are feeling overwhelmed or are paralyzed with the desire to do something perfect, help them to break it down.
Ask questions like….
What is the first thing you should do?
What is the worst that could happen?
Why am I feeling anxious right now?
What more information should I gather?
What would make this work even better?
You might find this child digs their heels in and is quite resistant to move. Luckily, they are idealistic, passionate, and have high goals.
With a little help, encouragement, and motivation from you, they're set up to become adults with high standards who fight for what they believe in.

Introduction: Engraving Using a Sandblaster and Vinyl Stencil
I needed a gift for a friend and didn't have a lot of time to make it. I was at Cost Plus World Market for supplies (for another project) and discovered they sell small flasks for about $7. I decided that engraving his initials in it would make for a perfect gift.
TechShop San Jose's vinyl cutter and media blaster made this gift possible.
Step 1: Make a Stencil Using the Vinyl Cutter
Using the Flexistarter software on the PC, I made an outline of the initials. You can use any of the fonts that are loaded on the vinyl cutter PC. I selected a reasonably elegant font and cut the letters on a leftover piece of vinyl I had from another project.
Step 2: Weed the Vinyl and Apply Transfer Paper
Weeding is the process of removing the unwanted parts from your vinyl sticker. Since I wanted to etch the letters but leave the rest of the flask untouched, I just pulled out the letters.
The transfer paper helps to hold everything in place while you position it. I made a horizontal line above the letters to help align it on the flask.
Step 3: Apply the Vinyl Sticker
After peeling the paper off the back of the vinyl I carefully stuck it on the flask. Once it is positioned and stuck down I removed the transfer paper. I reused the transfer paper to protect the back side of the flask for the next step.
Step 4: Sandblast the Flask
Put the whole flask in the media blaster and carefully blast the surface. I held the flask about 12 inches away from the blast nozzle, as the vinyl can get damaged from the intense abrasive blast. After about 45 seconds of blasting, the engraving was done.
The media blaster doesn't photograph well, so all I have is an "after" photo.
Step 5: Remove the Stencil. Clean As Required
Ater carefully removing the vinyl, there was only a tiny bit of residue on the flask from the vinyl adhesive. This rubbed off easily with a clean cloth.

What are the glutathione benefits in skin in skin lightening? Get more insights on glutathione skin whitening pills, supplements, injection, soap and
What are Glutathione Skin Whitening Benefits? Glutathione is a strong antioxidant for cleaning of the liver, removal of toxic substances from the body and sharpening of the brains. Like any other drug side effects, glutathione inhibits production of melanin hence lightens the skin and many people have used as an advantage in getting a fair skin.
This substance can be administered to the body through various forms such as through glutathione injection, glutathione supplement, glutathione pills, and through best skin lightening creams and lotions. As an antioxidant, glutathione is made from three amino acid namely glutamic acid, cysteine and glycine elements that are recommended for detoxifying cells.
Glutathione Skin Whitening Treatment
Glutathione has been discovered as a skin lightening element available in different forms. The main objective for the manufacture of this substance was to cleanse the cells, take off free radicles and boost the body's immunity. Patients who used glutathione were observed to get a fair light and smooth skin.
However, studies revealed that this element also protects the cells from free radicles responsible for melanin production and skin blemishes. This has made most people to use glutathione in the treatment of skin blemishes such as moles, freckles, uneven skin tone, age spot, skin patches, spots, wrinkles and getting a light skin. Therefore it is the best anti-aging product in the market.
Glutathione Skin Whitening Pills
There are many skin whitening pills that are made with reduced glutathione. Such pills can be used by people of different skin complexions such as African Americans, Blacks, Asians and Dark skin people. You are required to keep high levels of glutathione supplements on the body for effective outcome. Among the best glutathione pills for skin lightening in the market include the following:
Benefits of Mosbeau Placenta White Supplement
– Fights & reverses the skin-aging process. It visibly reduces wrinkles and fine lines.
– Stimulates skin cell renewal to revitalize the skin.
– Detoxifies the body with its potent antioxidant ingredients
Glutathione Injection for Skin whitening
When you want to lighten your skin fast overnight go for glutathione injection. This is recommended by dermatologists as the best way of administering glutathione in the body for an effective outcome. Through an injection, glutathione gets directly to your blood stream and is effective immediately.
One way of keeping the glutathione levels high in the body is using supplements and natural ingredients that has high content of the glutathione. Use fresh fruits and vegetables like tomatoes, asparagus, avocados and oranges. Injections are provided in sessions and 15 of them for 15 weeks should show positive outcome.
Glutathione Skin Whitening Soap
Besides skin lightening natural supplements and glutathione pills, glutathione is also found in most the best skin lightening soaps. Glutathione skin lightening soap are ideal for any skin type for all complexions. The antioxidant property of the soap makes it ideal for the healing of skin blemishes such as age spots, freckles, hormonal imbalances and preventing dry skin on face and other parts of the body.
To make the skin bleaching soap more gentle and natural on skin, some natural ingredients such as Soya Oil are used. You are advised to use regularly during body cleaning for effective outcome. Avoid using ordinary bar soap which can cause your skin to dry and become flaky. Apply a moisturizer after using any soap for bathing or taking shower.
Other soaps you can find relevant include; Cyleina Black Pearl, CY Gabriel, Professional Skin Care Formula and RDL Whitening Papaya Soap among others. Remember to check at the ingredients used to make sure it is not only gentle on your skin but also safe to use. Therefore use of glutathione soap is highly recommended compared to hydroquinone skin lightening creams that may not be safe for your skin.
Glutathione Side Effects – Before and After
One of the main danger, risk and side effects for prolonged use of glutathione is preventing the cells production of melanin a substance that gives skin its dark appearance. Therefore glutathione skin whitening is the only side effect associated with continuous use of this element.
Take your glutathione supplements few minutes before meals. Do not use it with liquor or any alcoholic drink. For a clear, glowing and beautiful skin, protect your skin against sun poisoning using sunscreen products of SPF above 30. This must include using long sleeved tops, pants and wide-brimmed hat while you are outdoors or spending in sun.
Skin Whitening Tips on How to get Beautiful Skin
- Take glutathione skin whitening supplements as recommended in the instructions or prescribed by a dermatologist.
- Moisturize your skin besides consumption of your I-glutathione pills or supplements to avoid drying and flaking of your skin.
- Avoid too much sun exposure to prevent sunburn or sun poisoning. Use sunscreen frequently when you are outdoors.
- While exfoliating your skin use soft scrubs that are gentle on skin.
- Keep your skin hydrated by taking sufficient amount of water especially during the day.
- Avoid steamy showers and too hot bathe since they contribute to skin drying and taking off natural oils from the skin.
- Take a balanced diet with more fruits and vegetables.
Glutathione Benefits Vs Hydroquinone
Glutathione not only provides you with a soft smooth fair skin but also detoxify your body and boost the immune system. Prolonged use of glutathione has no severe side effects. Glutathione supplements can be extracted from natural ingredients such as some types of fruits and vegetable.
On the other hand hydroquinone is a chemical substance that has negative side effects in skin. There are some hydroquinone cancer alarms on prolonged use of creams, lotions and soaps that contain this element. Various countries have banned skin care products with hydroquinone element.
Therefore glutathione skin whitening is the most recommended by dermatologist not only for effectiveness but also safety and antioxidant property. Boost your immune as you lighten your skin at ago with one stop product famously known as glutathione.

Netflix Reveals First Glimpse Of The Witcher's Roach
Netflix has revealed the first look of Geralt's horse, Roach, from its upcoming adaptation of The Witcher. If you were worried that Hollywood would replace his trusty steed with a boat, tentacled monster, or animated cartoon, don't worry – it's a horse.
More specifically, it's a brown horse. With some white around the nose part of its face. Maybe it has white parts by its hooves, too? We'll have to wait to find out. And that's about all I have say about Roach for now.
Look for the Witcher (and more Roach!) later this year on Netflix. And if you haven't seen them already, you can take a look at some of the cast members and the poster over here.

text: Alex7 0 · ID: 1 Posted October 8, 2015 Hello everyone, First of all, I would like to say thanks to the team who made this possible and to the admin team which organizes this forum. I have just successfully installed the latest XPEnoboot_DS3615xs_5.2-5592.2 image on a ThinkPad X61T and it works very well. I have a couple of questions: 1. Is there any way to have access to the DSM UI from my notebook's display? I'm guessing that this would involve a video driver to be installed and since DSM is linux based, would the linux driver for this display work? 2. The notebook has a wifi card - however, DSM didn't recognize it and it asks me to plug in a wifi dongle. Is there any way for DSM to recognize the wifi card and use it accordingly? 3. I have access to four USB2.0 ports (including the ones from the ultrabase) and not including the one which has the sandisk 8gb memory card with DSM on it. The notebook also has an expresscard slot which I can turn into 2 esata ports. My question is: is there any way I can make DSM recognize HDDs connected to these external ports as internal disks which can be used as part of the SHR Volume? At the moment, they are recognized as external HDDs. Thank you very much and I look forward to your reply. P.S.: I currently have a DS212j server which works alright but at the time of purchasing there was little support in terms of choosing suitable HDDs and there was also a small number of NAS optimised HDDs. Therefore, the DS is much slower than I expected and is not as flexible as I expected. With several good notebooks laying around, I would like to turn one of them into a flexible NAS - this old thinkpad would be the best choice since it has so many external ports available plus optical drive, plus touch screen and a lot of external LEDs which show its behavior. I would like to upgrade to a 4 bay Synology soon but their price range for anything worth the price hardware wise is huge. This thinkpad an Intel Core 2 Due L7500 processor (1.6 GHz, 4 MB cashe - which still retails at around $200) and 2 GB Ram which I can easily expand to 4 GB for less than £10. It's also a low power CPU at only 17W and the entire system runs at less than 20W at the moment with one HDD. It would hence be the best option for a server and I could easily built a 6 HDD acrylic holder which can sit under the ultra base - hence my will to get this thing working as well as possible. Again, thank you very much and I look forward to your insight. Kind Regards, Alex Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Scambodia: Siem Reap Tourist Traps
Cambodia Tourism Prices at a tourist destination and popular getaway in the Angkor region, Siem Reap has a lot to offer. However, you should be aware of the tourist traps in Siem Reap.
Cambodian Riel
Before going to Siem Reap, you should familiarize yourself with how the local currency works. The local currency in Cambodia is the US dollar. Prices on items will be quoted in US dollars, and you will be required to pay in the US currency. However, any small change you get will be in the local Cambodian Riel. The issue with the local currency is that it cannot be converted into other currency. In effect, the coins will become souvenirs when you leave the country. Be careful of business owners who may want to take advantage of your little knowledge of the local currency.
Chong Kneas Floating Village
Visiting a floating village during your trip in Siem Reap can make for an interesting experience. You should be careful when visiting Chong Kneas floating village since it is one of the tourist traps in the area. Although the person who collects the $ 20 entrance fees makes a lot of money from the high number of tourists who visit the village, the locals do not benefit from the attraction. In the past, tourists would talk directly to boat drivers before taking a floating village tour. The scam introduced by those who collect money at the entrance has left most of the locals in poverty.
City Gems
Most of the tourists who go to Cambodia will buy the precious stones available in the country. Cambodia is known for its wealth in ruby, sapphire and emerald mines. One particular store you should avoid when thinking of buying precious stones is the City Gems. If you do not look at the precious stones keenly, you will only realize later that they sold you a colored glass. This could be a great inconvenience if you happen to have traveled back to your home country. You also will find it difficult replacing the products or getting a refund from the store.
Cultural Village
If you have visited the cultural village in Thailand, you may expect the same experience from the cultural village in Cambodia. The price that foreigners pay to gain access to the cultural village may not be worth it. The village does not have much to offer, and you may end up being bored and disappointed. It would be advisable to spend the $ 12 at the more interesting Angkor Museum.
Shops Near Ankor Wat
The souvenir shops near Angor Wat offer many products, but their prices are quoted in US dollars. The prices are also considerably high, making shopping in this area a rip-off. The bigger shops have higher markups. You should be sure to shop around before buying the souvenir.
Siem Reap Floating Market
Instead of taking a $ 15 guided boat tour in the floating market, you can choose to take the riverboat to Phnom Penh.

Middletown Coffee Co
60-, 64 Lower Mill St, Ballymena BT43 6AH, UK
Editor's Review
As you come into Middletown you can feel the bustle of the coffee community enjoying their brew. The staff welcome you with a smile and a true Ballymena 'hello' as they warm your milk and pour your espresso shot creating a smooth flat white. You will then be offered to choose from the plentiful seating supply in the spacious environment. Whilst there are generally a few seats available you certainly won't be alone in having your fill, as this is the main coffee stop in town, which creates a friendly buzz.
On the coffee menu there is plenty to choose from with different roasts on offer as well as different methods. If you're not yet a coffee lover, Middletown caters for you with six varieties of tea on offer each day and some quality hot chocolate. With plenty on offer for brunch and lunch this makes a great stop off if you're making the trip up North and are needing some caffeine-filled fuel.

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS.MW) - Tiffany shares gained 3 percent after the upscale jewelry and gifts retailer reported increases in both sales and revenue during the second quarter.
The stock climbed $1.13 to close at $37.41.
Second-quarter net earnings rose 26 percent to $41 million, or 28 cents, compared with $32.7 million, or 22 cents a share in the same quarter a year ago.
Analysts polled by Thomson First Call were expecting the New York-based company to report earnings of 24 cents a share, on average.
Quarterly revenue came in at $442.5 million, up 18 percent from the $374 million reported in the year-ago period.
Same-store sales in the company's U.S. stores rose 9 percent in the quarter due to both an increased number of transactions and shoppers spending more on the average sale, Tiffany
"We are pleased and especially encouraged by our U.S. sales growth, which strengthened as the quarter progressed," said Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Michael Kowalski in a statement.
International sales for the second-quarter rose 14 percent to $169 million.
There are signs of economic improvement in the U.S and around the world, Kowalski continued, adding that the company remains comfortable with its earnings outlook for fiscal 2003, which currently pegs earning per share in a $1.33 to $1.38 range.

FALL RIVER, Mass. (AP) — A Massachusetts judge has ordered a new trial for a man who has spent 30 years in prison after being convicted of raping an elderly woman in 1985 based in part on one strand of hair.
WCVB-TV reports that the judge decided Tuesday that testimony by an FBI agent that a hair found in the 78-year-old victim's Springfield home matched George Perrot was faulty.
The U.S. Department of Justice flagged Perrot's case in 2014 as one of hundreds that involved erroneous statements from FBI agents about hair analysis. Microscopic hair analysis has since been found to be far from exact.
Perrot was arrested at 17. He has always denied raping the woman.
Perrot's mother thanked the judge and Perrot's legal team for giving him a "second chance" at life.

The GNU H is what is commonly meant when people are talking about GNU/Hurd systems.
This system has mostly been designed and implemented It works and is usable. For example, these web pages have been rendered on a GNU/Hurd system.
You can try it out for yourself: for getting access, installing Debian GNU/Hurd will probably be the easiest and most feature-complete solution. If you don't have spare hardware to use for doing so, you can also get a shell account on a public Hurd machine. Depending on the things you're going to work on (and on your internet connection), this may be an easy way of getting used to Hurd systems. Installing in a virtual machine is another possibility, see the page about running a Hurd system for the full story. In particular, running a Debian GNU/Hurd QEMU image may be a viable alternative.
it is mostly based on the same sources. It is not an official Debian release, but it is an official Debian GNU/Hurd port release.

So there are reports on that Assange will be kicked out from the embassy within "days or hours".
The British police says there is an arrest warrant on him. What for?
Will they turn him over to the US mafia regime? Will he be executed?
| Fri Apr 05 07:54:14
Those same rumors have been kicking around for months.
"Will they turn him over to the US mafia regime? Will he be executed?"
We can only hope. But seeing as how he and Trump are both Russian assets, and Assange helped Trump get elected, I suspect that he'll get a medal and a seat of honor for Trump's military parade.

The free flow of information should always be applauded.
Give Assange and Snowden the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Stop being such a shitlord. If information dissemination is not carefully managed by our government and media institutions, how will the general public be prevented from supporting the WRONG ideas or voting for the WRONG candidates? Get fucked, incel.

Julian Assange sentenced to 50 weeks in prison, day before facing extradition hearing
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has been sentenced to 50 weeks in prison for violating his bail and going into hiding at the Ecuadorian embassy, seven years ago, a sentence that comes just a day before a hearing is set to take place concerning his extradition to the U.S.
Assange was sentenced on Wednesday after his appearance at London's Southwark Crown Court. After the judge handed the sentence, a group of protesters shouted "shame on you."
He breached his bail back in 2012 amid threats of extradition to Sweden, where he was wanted for questioning over rape and sexual assault allegations.
In a letter read to the court, Assange said he was "struggling with difficult circumstances" and apologized to those who "consider I've disrespected them."
He added: "I did what I thought at the time was the best or perhaps the only thing that I could have done."
Judge Deborah Taylor insisted that Assange deserved near the maximum sentence of one year because of the seriousness of his offense. She rejected calls for leniency because of the nearly seven years he spent in the Ecuadorian Embassy.
The Australian founder of WikiLeaks remained defiant and raised a fist in the air to his supporters as he was taken down to the prison.
Assange has been held in prison since his arrest last month after the Ecuadorian authorities revoked his political asylum and kicked him out of the embassy on April 11.
The government of Ecuador accused WikiLeaks and Assange of meddling in the country's politics.
But the sentence on Wednesday is just a sideshow for Assange, who faces the main battle on Thursday.
He's set to appear at a court hearing on a U.S. extradition request. The U.S. authorities charged Assange with conspiring to break into a Pentagon computer system.
He faces up to five years in a U.S. prison if convicted.

Rapists must not go free
Sweden Reopens Inquiry Into Julian Assange Over Rape Allegations
May 13, 2019
Sweden is resuming its investigation of Julian Assange on rape allegations and will issue a European warrant for his arrest, state prosecutor Eva-Marie Persson said Monday. Assange is currently in a British prison, where he's being punished for eluding a similar warrant in 2012.
Swedish prosecutors had idled their case while Assange was holed up in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London. But with the controversial WikiLeaks founder now in U.K. custody, Persson said, "conditions have changed in the case and I believe that there are again opportunities to push the matter forward."
Persson said her office will seek to extradite Assange — a request that could be enforced after he serves at least half of a 50-week prison term for jumping bail. Acknowledging that the U.S. is seeking Assange's extradition, Persson added that it will be up to British authorities to determine how to prioritize multiple requests for Assange's extradition and/or arrest.
Swedish authorities initially issued an arrest warrant for Assange, who is Australian, over allegations of rape and molestation in August of 2010. Their chance to pursue charges in the case will expire next summer, under Sweden's statute of limitations.
Assange, 47, has previously spoken to Swedish authorities about the sexual assault allegations against him; Persson says new questioning is needed. And she mentioned that her office might speak to Assange by video link in the U.K. — if he agrees.
WikiLeaks issued a statement in response to the case being resumed, saying Sweden is reopening the investigation after facing "considerable political pressure" in the wake of Assange being forced out of Ecuador's embassy.
That pressure, WikiLeaks says, came from the U.S., which has charged Assange with helping former Army intelligence analyst Chelsea Manning crack a password on Department of Defense computers that allowed access to a network of classified documents and communications.
Assange has vowed to fight extradition to the U.S., where his legal team says he could never receive a fair trial.
Earlier this month, a criminal law expert told NPR that, despite adding to his legal complications, Assange could actually benefit from having Sweden involved.
"If Sweden were to make a competing extradition request, then the home secretary [in the U.K.] might choose to give that priority and that could mean that there is at best a delay to the U.S. extradition request," said European Union criminal law expert Anna Bradshaw of Peters & Peters.

Trump will personally crush him!
Assange Indicted Under Espionage Act, Raising First Amendment Issues
WASHINGTON — Julian Assange, the WikiLeaks leader, has been indicted on 17 counts of violating the Espionage Act for his role in obtaining and publishing secret military and diplomatic documents in 2010, the Justice Department announced on Thursday — a novel case that raises profound First Amendment issues.
The new charges were part of an expanded indictment obtained by the Trump administration that significantly raised the stakes of the legal case against Mr. Assange, who is already fighting extradition proceedings in London based on an earlier hacking-related count brought by federal prosecutors in Northern Virginia.
The charges are the latest twist in a career in which Mr. Assange has morphed from a crusader for radical transparency to fugitive from a Swedish sexual assault investigation, to tool of Russia's election interference, to criminal defendant in the United States.
Mr. Assange vaulted to global fame nearly a decade ago as a champion of openness about what governments secretly do. But with this indictment, he has become the target for a case that could open the door to criminalizing activities that are crucial to American investigative journalists who write about national security matters.
The case has nothing to do with Russia's election interference in 2016, when Mr. Assange's organization published Democratic emails stolen by Russia as part of its covert efforts to help elect President Trump. Instead, it focuses on Mr. Assange's role in the leak of hundreds of thousands of State Department cables and military files by the former Army intelligence analyst Chelsea Manning.
Justice Department officials did not explain why they decided to charge Mr. Assange under the Espionage Act — a step also debated within the Obama administration but ultimately not taken. Although the indictment could establish a precedent that deems actions related to obtaining, and in some cases publishing, state secrets to be criminal, the officials sought to minimize the implications for press freedoms.

A bucket of water already awaits you!!!
UK home secretary favors Assange extradition on US warrant
LONDON – British Home Secretary Sajid Javid says he has signed an extradition order that would send imprisoned WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange to the United States if British courts favor the move.
Javid told BBC radio Thursday courts will decide whether Assange must face espionage charges in the U.S.
Assange is scheduled to face an extradition hearing Friday on the U.S. request. A decision is likely months away.
He is serving a 50-week sentence in London's Belmarsh Prison for jumping bail in Britain.
The 47-year-old was too ill to take part in a recent hearing. He is expected to participate in Friday's proceeding via video link.
The US plan to prosecute him for espionage has raised free speech issues. Assange asserts he is a journalist shielded by the First Amendment.

Coach Swot Analysis
Coach has many internal and external factors to consider when coming up with a SWOT analysis. The first strength of Coach that I will elaborate on is their great multi-channel retail network. A multi-channel retailer is a company that sells directly to the public via more than one distribution channel. Coach reaches its consumer through a number of different channels. The easiest to reach of all channels will have to be their store fronts, where the consumer can walk into their stores take a look at the actual product and decide if they would like to purchase the product. Also included in their store front channel would be their wholesale accounts. Their second channel is their mail ordered catalog which usually ships out within a week or two of asking for it. These catalogs will show you Coach's newest line of products where the consumer can look at the pictures of the line and select what item they would like to purchase. In the back of the catalogue you will find all the names of the styles and the prices that you would have to pay to purchase the product. A toll free number is also added on the back so you can call Coach and place an order over the phone so you don't even have to drive to a store to get the bag you want. The third channel Coach offers to their consumers is their online website. Here customers can surf the web to view pictures of the Coach Collections. Using the web is a very smart idea because Coach has the opportunity to offer everything that they make to their customers with the click of a button. Customers can browse the Coach website for women's handbags, accessories, shoes, business and travel bags, and even their product line for men.
Coach's next strength is their extremely strong brand image. Women looking for a new handbag will usually have Coach on the top of their list. Coach is known globally as one of the most luxurious handbags in the market, known for their quality, vibrant colors, and innovative styles. Along...

In this episode, we get into what we didn't discuss in the Haze Craze episode, the makings of a speedy brew day! Most of us love the time we spend working with our gear and ingredients, but most of would still prefer to use less of that valuable time doing it. We also discuss that "homebrew extract taste" that people often reference when tasting a beer that didn't come out right by trying an older extract kit against an all grain version. Afterward, we'll judge a local customer's beer on air.
In our segment about speeding up your brewdays, our main emphasis is that you think about and plan for all the scenarios that will result in a fast turnaround and less chance of mistakes. If you prepare for your brew and get all your gear in place, water ready, ingredients separated as needed, and all you have to do is turn on your heat source and start brewing, you've already saved yourself quite a bit of time. Add in heating during transfers and using a controlled fermentation chamber to help finish chilling and a 6 hour day suddenly ends up being only 4 hours. And that might even be with cleaning!
After that discussion, we cover some of the possiblities of why we occasionally might get that "homebrew taste" that people often refer to when there's just something off in a beer made at home. Sometimes it's fermentation issues, sometimes the recipe is off, and sometimes it's the extract itself. It's hard to say what it is, but we compare some beers to see what we can find.
Finally, a big thanks to Chris Stephens for dropping off a sample of his brewing for us to sample and discuss. We always welcome more submissions for the same. That's why we're here, to help you make better beer. Sometimes, it's easier to just taste the beer you have questions about and discuss it. So, please send in those samples!

Press Release :
The daring and modern lines of Vel Satis have gently evolved with New Vel Satis. The cabin has gained in functionality and elegance. Inside, quality materials and the blending of upholsteries surround each passenger with comfort and refinement. Many of the features already fitted to Vel Satis, such as the parking aid system, the xenon headlamps and the navigation system, have been further developed. The existing range of engines and transmissions is retained, but with more power and torque for the 2.0 Turbo engine and a particulate filter for the 2.2 dCi engine. On sale in France from April 8, 2005, New Vel Satis illustrates the priority allocated by Renault to safety and quality.
Refined exterior design
The new front design incorporates a new grille with chromed strakes, the headlamps, and a redesigned lower air intake. The rear section of the car becomes lighter and more dynamic, with two visible exhaust pipes and crystal-treated rear lamp clusters. The door handles are now chrome-finished on all versions. Two new types of alloy wheel make their appearance, in 17-inch and 18-inch sizes, as well as two new body colours, Marron glacé brown and platinum grey.
The dashboard has been given a more streamlined shape, with some of its parts satin-finished. The instrument dials and needles evoke the world of watchmaking; the wood trim strips are in bird's-eye maple, and the inlays in alder: an unusual combination which expresses discreet luxury, New cloth upholstery (dark charcoal or light grey) and leather (very dark charcoal or tobacco beige) make their appearance. For additional functionality, the centre console separates the driving controls from those concerned with comfort.
The interior lighting has been completely redesigned. The overhead light, which progressively dims to extinction, uses opal glass and satinized chrome. It emphasizes the welcoming nature of the cabin. The reading lamps complement the central overhead light whenever the doors are opened.
On board New Vel Satis, the idea of a 'high class saloon' is given full rein. With 13cm more headroom than the average in this segment, accessibility and interior space remain unequalled, and the seat comfort exceptional. The front seats, power operated and heated, consist of three sections, each of which may be separately adjusted. The driver's seat adjusts over a wide range (6cm in height) and its settings can be memorized. Together with a steering wheel adjustable for both height and reach, this allows the driving position to be very finely adjusted. Much attention has been paid to the ergonomics, notably with the installation of the controls for the new Carminat Navigation and Communication system in the centre console, within easy reach of the driver who can still continue to concentrate on driving.
Efficient and reassuring behaviour on the road Ever since its introduction, the stability and handling of Vel Satis has been universally admired. New Vel Satis carries over the general layout, with MacPherson type suspension at the front and Renault's patented 'trigonal' multi-link arrangement at the rear. This layout ensures remarkable stability in a straight line and when cornering, regardless of weight distribution. This effective and innovative chassis is well served by tyres of generous size (225/55-17 or 245/45-18 according to version), and by a powerful, progressive and fade-resistant braking system (with 324mm discs at the front and 300mm discs at the rear). The speed-sensitive variable-assistance power steering system provides precision of control and ease of driving in all circumstances.
flexibility and driving pleasure Within the range of engines and transmissions for Vel Satis, the two 4-cylinder engines have been further developed. New Vel Satis introduces a development of the 2.0 T engine (F4Rt). This now produces 170hp (125kW) at 5,000rpm, and torque of 270Nm at 3,250rpm. This engine is equipped with a Twin Scroll type turbocharger which benefits both ease of driving and emissions.
The twin-mass flywheel reduces noise and vibration within the kinematic chain. Available with manual or automatic transmission, this engine conforms with Euro 4 emission standards. The 2.2 dCi engine continues to be offered in three versions: 115hp (85kW/320Nm), 140hp with particulate filter (102kW/320Nm) and 150hp (110kW/320Nm).
The particulate filter (a cylinder forming part of the exhaust system) is an emission control system which significantly reduces the emission of unburned particulates. Complementing the catalytic converter, it retains and then neutralizes the particulate emissions using a silicon carbide filtration medium. Any particulates emitted are caught, and then dispersed using a heating effect. Software written into the computer controls the entire filter regeneration operation.
Renault's particulate filter, catalytic in its operation, has the advantage of not needing an additive which must be regularly replenished. In addition, its life is usefully longer than the competition (105,000km instead of 80,000km).
The 3.5 V6 24V engine, a fruit of the Renault- Nissan Alliance, develops 245hp (177Kw) at 6,000rpm and maximum torque of 330Nm at 3,600rpm. At least 85% of maximum torque is available from 1,200rpm, ensuring a high level of flexibility and response. This engine is offered only with a five-speed automatic transmission. This powertrain is notable for its smoothness and quietness of operation, which guarantees real driving pleasure. The 3.0 V6 turbodiesel engine with common rail fuel injection and variable geometry turbocharger develops 130kW (180hp) at 4,400rpm with maximum torque of 350Nm at 1,800rpm. It provides a high level of performance with reduced fuel consumption, and the appeal of a 6-cylinder power unit. Additional engines will appear in the range during 2005 and 2006. New Vel Satis offers a choice of transmissions, manual or automatic.
Highly developed comfort features New Vel Satis benefits from the latest technologies to assist ease of use, such as the Renault card for hands-free access and engine starting.
Within a perimeter of two metres around the car, the detection of the active badge unlocks the doors and the rear hatch. It stores vehicle information (identification, mileage, oil level, tyre pressures, distance remaining to the next service) together with seat and mirror position settings, in its memory. The engine is started, without having to insert the card into its slot, by simultaneously pressing the Start button and the brake pedal.
The parking aid system is now installed at the front as well as the rear of New Vel Satis. It warns the driver of the proximity of unseen obstacles by means of audible 'beeping' which becomes more frequent as the object is approached. This detection distance extends from 20cm out to 1.5 metres from the vehicle. Every time the vehicle is started, the warning sound is switched off as soon as the speed exceeds 15kph for the first time. It remains operational below this threshold speed but within a smaller detection zone (less than 60cm) so that it does not operate needlessly, for example in a traffic jam.
New Vel Satis is equipped with an automatic parking brake. This is automatically applied whenever the engine is switched off, and automatically released when the engine is restarted. It makes some manoeuvres, for example hill starting, easier. The driver has only to pull the control paddle lightly towards him to apply the brake no matter how steep the slope. The brake is released automatically as soon as the vehicle achieves forward motion.
Whenever the parking brake assist is in action, an appropriate message appears on the dashboard display. The freeing of the space normally occupied by the handbrake allows the occupants to be provided with a true central armrest. An audible warning sounds if a door is opened (while the engine is running) and the parking brake has not been applied.
New Vel Satis introduces a new multimedia system which incorporates a latest-generation navigation, a Cabasse Tronic 6CD MP3 4x50W audio system, and a hands-free kit with advanced functions. Voice recognition, a central controller and 6.5-inch (16.5cm) wide colour screen add considerably to the ease of using this system. The menus are more intuitive, and their colours change according to the selected mode: Navigation (brown), Radio (blue) or Telephone (green). The eight loudspeakers relay the sound of the radio, telephone and navigation functions with very high quality.
Carminat Navigation and Communication includes a control and voice recognition system (for navigation and telephoning). It allows the creation of a voice repertoire via the registration of voice imprints (10 for navigation, 40 for telephoning). The registration of more than 60,000 voices makes it possible to recognize all European accents.
The display, and voice recognition and contro are available in seven languages: French, German, English, Italian, Spanish, Dutch and Portuguese.
This new multimedia navigation system is more ergonomic. The most frequently used functions are directly available via a control which falls immediately to hand. The user is provided with many options to personalize the navigation system.

A high-speed rail line connecting Urumqi, the capital of Xinjiang, with the region's Hami prefecture will begin running on November 16, Sina reports, citing the China Railway Corporation. The 710-kilometer line is part of the 1,770-kilometer Lanzhou-Xinjiang high-speed railway that will travel through Gansu province, Qinghai province and Xinjiang.
The trains will initially run at speed of about 200 kilometers per hour, reducing travel time between Urumqi and Hami from five hours to three hours.
A concept photo of the Urumqi High-Speed Railway Station.
The rest of the Lanzhou-Xinjiang railway will be ready to go into operation by the end of 2014, IBTimes reports.
However, the government has even bigger plans for Xinjiang and the country's growing web of train lines. When the Xinjiang portion of the railway is completed, it will be able to connect to the country's already existing train routes, even reaching the country's biggest cities at unprecedented speeds. According to FarWest China, a Xinjiang-focused blog, traveling at speeds averaging 350 kilometers an hour, or roughly 220 mph, the new high-speed railway will allow travel from Urumqi to Beijing in just 12 hours and from Urumqi to Shanghai in fewer than 20, drastically cutting down travel time for journeys that can currently take 40 to 45 hours.
The Lanzhou-Xinjiang portion of the line required around 143 billion yuan in investments. When it becomes fully operational, it will take the crown as the world's longest high-speed rail track.
"The high-speed railway will further improve travel conditions for all ethnic groups in Xinjiang. It will also facilitate the economic and social development in the autonomous region," the CRC said in a statement.
In other HSR news, the Shanghai Railway Bureau announced this weekend that a new high-speed rail link between Shanghai and Changsha will be set to go into operation by the end of 2014. The section is part of the Shanghai-Kunming High-Speed Railway, which is expected to start running in 2017.
China is home to the world's longest high-speed railway network—by the end of 2012, its tracks stretched over a distance of 10,000km. China aims have completed 25,000km of HSR track by the end of 2020.

by Walter Block
Walter Block has for decades been one of the most effective and indefatigable defenders of libertarianism. One feature in his writing stands out, from his classic Defending the Undefendable to the present. He consistently applies the principles of libertarianism to every situation in a bold and original way. Readers of Toward a Libertarian Society, a collection of his articles from lewrockwell.com, will find this feature abundantly on display.
Block believes that libertarianism has three components: foreign policy, economic policy, and policies on personal liberties. He devotes a separate part of the book to each of these components.
In foreign affairs, Block is a resolute non-interventionist. He is an anarchist who rejects the state altogether; but, so long as a state exists, it should confine its foreign policy to defense against invasion. Doing so is in line with the tradition of Washington and John Quincy Adams. In our own day, Ron Paul has been the foremost champion of non-intervention; and Paul has few, if any, more ardent advocates than Walter Block.
In economic policy, Block defends the free market against all types of interference. One issue especially concerns him: the activities of labor unions. Against union advocates, Block emphasizes that wages depend on workers' marginal productivity. Block is equally decisive in macroeconomics. He calls for the total abolition of the Fed.
Block, never one to avoid controversy, argues that much in the contemporary feminist movement is antithetical to libertarianism. Readers will learn his views about abortion, stem-cell research, and punishment theory. He is a firm advocate of the possibility and desirability of political secession.
Reading Toward a Libertarian Society is the equivalent of a college course in libertarianism, taught by a master teacher.

January 9, 2013
Many of you who have gardened in the last few years are familiar with a plant disease called Powdery Mildew. This disease causes a white powder to form on the leaves of the plant. If you grew squashes or roses, you probably saw it on your plants. There is another one of the mildews that you will need to be aware of if you plant impatiens in your flowerbeds.
Downy Mildew is a disease that has been around for years. It has not shown up very often in gardens. In the last year, a particular strain of Downy mildew has attacked impatiens. When it infects impatiens, it causes discoloration of the leaves and ultimately it causes the leaves to fall off. Ultimately, you wind up with just stems of the impatiens. There are sprays that you can use, but they are not effective unless you
Diligently apply them all season. Even then, the disease may start and once it starts, it will decimate the plants.
The reason I am telling you this is that many of the growers are going to drastically cut back on the number of impatiens that they will be growing in 2013. Some growers have decided to stop growing regular impatiens. The reason is economics. If they need to continually spray the plants while they are growing the plants, then any profit they would make from growing the plants is used up by the cost of the fungicide and the cost of its application.
Your first thought may be to make sure to get your impatiens early before the supply runs out. On the surface this may seem like a good idea, but then you will have to do the fungicide treatments of the plants to possibly no avail. It is probably a better idea to think about planting some other shade loving plants until there is an effective way to control this disease.
First off, let me say that this disease does not bother New Guinea Impatiens and Sunpatiens. These plants will grow in partial shade but not the deep shade that you regularly associate with areas that you grow the common impatiens.
You do have choices of plants that you can substitute for impatiens in your gardens. You can plant begonias. Begonias come in many varieties. Some have smaller flowers and some have larger flowers. There are even varieties that are grown for their very colorful and ornate leaves. There are caladiums. Caladiums are a bulb that produces very colorful leaves. There is a plant called Torenia. These produce a very colorful flower. There is lobelia and several other plants that will do well in the shade.
The reason I bring this up now is that you need to decide what you are going to do this spring if you have planted impatiens in the past. You have time to do some research online to find plants that you will like to have in your garden this spring.
Well, that's all for this week. I'll talk to you again next week

You really see nothing wrong with someone creating a Facebook Page mocking a dead teenager? And after reviewing my report and request to have it removed you "were not able to confirm that the specific page you reported violates Facebook's Statement of Rights and Responsibilities"?
Well how about we put aside your Statement of Rights and Responsibilities and appeal to your sense of decency and compassion? How would you feel if this was being done to your child? If someone created a web site and Photoshopped images of your child in the most vile and disgusting ways imaginable?
Would you take it down then?
I resent my request this morning. I know I'm not the only one who has. Put your Statement aside and use your heart.

Module OSX-4009:
Research Project /Dissertation
Module Facts
Run by School of Ocean Sciences
60 Credits or 30 ECTS Credits
Semester 3
Organiser: Dr Jonathan King
Overall aims and purpose
The M.Sc. research project provides students with the necessary resources and time to independently investigate a specific scientific topic (chosen by the student with appropriate guidance of the academic staff). It aims to provide experience of planning, undertaking and reporting an independent research project (supervision available as required).
In the preliminary stages the necessary training will be given to allow students to formulate, plan and ensure the safe working practice of their project. Within this preliminary phase (initial month), students will be required to:
(i) carry out a preliminary desk study (including a critical review of the relevant scientific literature) to enable them to formulate specific investigations for their own project
(ii) produce a project plan in which they identify the scientific question(s), aims and objectives
(iii) perform a risk assessment for their specific project.
The main body of the project will provide a framework for testing a scientific hypothesis of an experimental, computational or observational nature. Where appropriate to the particular research topic, the project will provide experience in field survey work, laboratory practice, operation of analytical equipment and computer modeling. Students will be responsible for managing their time effectively and will receive the freedom to push their independent research in any feasible direction that resources allow.
The final part of the project will focus on developing the skills required for communicating in science. Specifically, at this stage the project module aims to train students to integrate the results from literature searching, experimental, computational and observational scientific research into a single report detailing their research project
Course content
The module will provide students with training and practice in the acquisition of information and data from experimental, observational and computational research and the effective communication of their results. The process of acquiring information will lead to the production of a plan and risk assessment. Students will integrate the various stages of their literature, experimental, computational and observational research into a scientific project report. The bulk of the module will be self-study.
Assessment Criteria
50 - 59% average : Provide a structured report at a basic level of presentation. Show a basic understanding of the methodology and its limitations. Draw unambiguous conclusions from analysis of research results and discuss the conclusions at a rudimentary level. Master of Science

The threat of a spike in electrical rates died a two-pronged death last week.
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission had come under fire for its January decision to allow city power generators to enact a large increase for their rates during peak electrical times. The agency believed the power companies faced steep property taxes when in actuality they received significant abatements. The FERC ruling could have caused city residents' electrical rates to shoot up by 12 percent.
Days after the state Legislature passed a law last week to prevent the planned hike from being passed to those residents, FERC undid its decision.
"I'm glad this misguided rate hike has been reversed and proud that the state took swift action to save ratepayers millions of dollars," state Sen. Michael Gianaris (D-Astoria) said. "Gov. [Andrew] Cuomo deserves thanks for working closely with those of us who were alarmed by the FERC decision to resolve the problem."
For months lawmakers had been fighting FERC's ruling, which could raised rates by 17.5 percent for businesses, Gianaris said. His district contains and lies adjacent to several major power-generating plants in Astoria.
FERC's decision had been opposed by city and state officials. Mayor Michael Bloomberg wrote a letter in March to FERC Chairman John Wellinghoff against the commission's ruling. About a week later, U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) requested a hearing with Wellinghoff. The decision had also been criticized by utility Con Edison. The electric company supplies power but does not generate it and said the rate would interfere with the company's attempts to keep its rates low.
Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver (D-Manhattan) introduced a bill May 6 into the state Assembly that would prevent any of the planned rate increase from FERC to be reflected in consumers' bills.
State Sen. Andrew Lanza (R-Staten Island) introduced a companion bill in the Senate five days later. The bill also set specific rules for how power-generating companies can receive property tax breaks. It passed in the Assembly with 60 votes and two excused and in the Senate by 33 to one with one abstention.
Governor Cuomo signed the bill May 18, at which time it became a law.
By May 20, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission had reversed its decision.

Angry fishermen in the Gulf Coast walked out of a meeting with British Petroleum yesterday following a controversial decision by the oil company. BP announced that it would subtract any money earned by the fishermen in oil spill cleanup from the $20 billion fund set to compensate the spill's victims.
The fishermen said it was literally "pointless" to aid BP with their cleanup in any fashion.
