Best Ab Exercises from Around the World
Jay Sullivan
How It Works
To summer-ize your waistline in record time, take this around-the-globe tour of the top tummy toners. Do two sets of each move, completing all 10 in any order to target your abs from every angle. (Or pick a few to add middle-whittling power to your regular routine.) All you'll need is a single two-pound dumbbell and a resistance band — and a credit card for that dream bikini you'll be wearing all summer!

Black Panther
It seems Chadwick Boseman's appearance in Captain America: Civil War made more than a lasting impression, because his standalone movie is easily one of the most anticipated superhero flicks of 2018. After the death of his father, T'Challa (Boseman) returns home to the isolated African nation of Wakanda, where he must take his rightful throne as King and face up with old enemies bent on taking his place.

The film also stars Jennifer Jason Leigh, Gina Rodriguez, Sonoya Mizuno, and Tessa Thompson.
Release date: March
Tomb Raider
Lara Croft is back in a reboot of the film franchise that once starred Angelina Jolie. Now, a much-younger Lara (Oscar winner Alicia Vikander) goes on an epic expedition to complete her missing father's (Dominic West) research only to uncover an ancient secret in a mythical island.

Ready Player One
Based on Ernest Cline's 2011 bestseller of the same name, Ready Player One is set in the year 2045, with a chaotic world on the brink of collapse.

The pressure is on for the Star Wars franchise as it continues to expand its universe with more standalone stories.

Meets with PMN Moms in Pinas
And then I started blogging. Blogging introduced me to a lot of people who I now consider special people, friends really. Those people would include the Pinay moms of PMN. And I did get to meet with them during our vacation in Manila this year. What can I say, 'wow!'. And here I am sharing the fun photos.
Chateau, Annamanila, Jane, Sexymom, Noemi and I with the kids and my hubby at The Old Spaghetti House to celebrate the birthday of Sexymom. I just happened to dial Sexymom's number and then she invited us to come, gatecrashers we are:D
Here was the fun part, we got lost! Read the story here.
And then again, with more PMN moms at Burgoo, The Podium. I love this restaurant because the kids get to draw on their prepared-for-drawings table cloths; complete with crayons. And of course, the food! You should try the seafood salad, yummy.
Who were present? Sexymom, Noemi, Cookie, Rowena, Rachel (who travelled from a long, long far away Batangas - thanks, Rach for the thoughtful gifts for the kids), Feng, Lynn, and Teacherjulie.
And the kids were there, too -- Cookie's bubbly bundles and Rowena's very shy and clingy cuties, hehehe. MC got busy with Adi and Gaby while IC decided to stick with Papa. I think IC suddenly found it too much! Let me tell you, it was great meeting them. They were my blogging family, I would like to ask them to adopt me, ahahaha. We had a fun time exchanging stories, taking photos, and picking from and/or tasting each other's food, and sharing the box of chocolate that escaped my mom's notice :D I am really sorry I missed Megamom, Lady Cess, Mayi and Annalyn.
And yes, I would love to meet with them again -- with the kids, please! I hope then we could talk longer :D It is really refreshing to be laughing together, not simply giggling in front of the computer!

What is a Swiss Swirl Ice Cream Cake? It is chocolate cake that has whipped cream rolled up inside it (this is where the swirl part comes from) layered on top (though built upside-down!) of ice cream! The challenge included making the cake, whipped cream, ice cream and fudge sauce all from scratch!
The July 2010 Daring Bakers' challenge was hosted by Sunita of Sunita's world – life and food. Sunita challenged everyone to make an ice-cream filled Swiss roll that's then used to make a bombe with hot fudge. Her recipe is based on an ice cream cake recipe from Taste of Home.
First of all, many of the recipes in this challenge call for caster sugar, which, according to the DB website, "Caster sugar is finely ground granulated sugar. It can also be found as "superfine sugar", "fruit sugar" or "quick dissolving sugar". If you can't find it, you can make your own by whizzing some regular granulated sugar in the food processor or blender."
I, of course, could not find anywhere that sold caster sugar, so I made my own from granulated sugar. I would like to see exactly what caster sugar looks like compared to regular sugar.
Anyway, the cake was pretty easy to make, though I had some trouble removing the parchment paper from the back of it, so I had to do some patchwork, but it all worked out in the end.
The sugar that is used for the whipped cream and the vanilla ice cream (which is really just frozen whipped cream) is vanilla sugar, which (as said in the instructions) is ground sugar and vanilla pod pieces. You can make vanilla sugar anytime by adding scraped vanilla pods (leftover from other recipes) in with granulated sugar. Then you can use that instead of granulated sugar and vanilla extract in any recipe such as cookies or cake.
I made a half recipe of everything, since I know that I'll probably be the one eating it all! So, I used half the whipped cream for the filling in the cake and froze the rest for the vanilla ice cream part. It worked out perfectly.
The chocolate ice cream was simple but took much longer to freeze than the vanilla. I think if I make it again, I'll try whipping it up a bit and then putting it in the freezer since the vanilla was whipped first and then frozen and still worked. It was interesting to make an egg-less ice cream and one that can just be put in the freezer and just stirred every so often rather than using an ice cream machine or some other way of spinning the base. It is a good thing to know in case I ever find myself in need of egg-less ice cream again!
The chocolate fudge sauce that goes in between the ice cream layers (this is not a dessert for someone on a diet!) was also easy to make. Just put all ingredients in the pot and whisk/cook until thick and bubbly.
Altogether, this was a pretty simple challenge, but you really have to be patient and allow for cooling, chilling, and freezing time of all of the components/layers. Since I tasted all of the components individually as I went along, I am sure that it will all be worth it when it is all frozen together! (after 24 hours…) I just tried all of the components frozen together, and they are good. I ended up with more vanilla ice cream than chocolate, but since the cake is chocolate, it ended up being a good balance.
Swiss roll ice cream cake (inspired by the recipe of the same name from the Taste of Home website)
Preparation time– 10 minutes
Baking time– 10-12 minutes
Rolling and cooling time– at least 30 minutes
Filling-5-8 minutes
Filling and rolling– 5-10 minutes
The Swiss rolls-
6 medium sized eggs
1 C / 225 gms caster sugar /8 oz+ extra for rolling
6 tblsp / 45gms/ a pinch over 1.5 oz of all purpose (plain) flour + 5 tblsp/40gm /a pinch under 1.5 oz of natural unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted together
2 tblsp /30ml / 1 fl oz of boiling water
a little oil for brushing the pans
For the filling-
2C / 500 mls/ 16 fl oz of whipping cream
1 vanilla pod, cut into small pieces of about ½ cm (or 1 tsp vanilla extract)
5 tblsp / 70gms/2.5oz of caster sugar
- Pre-heat the oven at 200 deg C /400 deg F approximately. Brush the baking pans ( 11 inches by 9 inches ) with a little oil and line with greaseproof baking paper. If you have just one pan, bake one cake and then let the pan cool completely before using it for the next cake.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the eggs and sugar and beat till very thick; when the beaters are lifted, it should leave a trail on the surface for at least 10 seconds.
- Add the flour mixture, in three batches and fold in gently with a spatula. Fold in the water.
- Divide the mixture among the two baking pans and spread it out evenly, into the corners of the pans.
- Place a pan in the center of the pre heated oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes or till the center is springy to the touch.
- Spread a kitchen towel on the counter and sprinkle a little caster sugar over it.
- Turn the cake on to the towel and peel away the baking paper. Trim any crisp edges.
- Starting from one of the shorter sides, start to make a roll with the towel going inside. Cool the wrapped roll on a rack, seam side down.
- Repeat the same for the next cake as well.
- Grind together the vanilla pieces and sugar in a food processor till nicely mixed together. If you are using vanilla extract, just grind the sugar on its own and then add the sugar and extract to the cream.
- In a large bowl, add the cream and vanilla-sugar mixture and beat till very thick.
- Divide the cream mixture between the completely cooled cakes.
- Open the rolls and spread the cream mixture, making sure it does not go right to the edges (a border of ½ an inch should be fine).
- Roll the cakes up again, this time without the towel. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill in the fridge till needed, seam side down.
The vanilla ice cream-
Preparation time-5 minutes+freezing
I have made the ice cream without an ice cream maker.
2 and ½ C / 625 ml / 20 fl oz of whipping cream
1 vanilla bean, minced or 1 tsp/ 5 ml/ .15 fl oz vanilla extract
½ C / 115gms/ 4 oz of granulated sugar
Grind together the sugar and vanilla in a food processor. In a mixing bowl, add the cream and vanilla –sugar mixture and whisk lightly till everything is mixed together. If you are using the vanilla extract, grind the sugar on its own and then and the sugar along with the vanilla extract to the cream.
Pour into a freezer friendly container and freeze till firm around the edges. Remove from the freezer, beat till smooth and return to the freezer. Do this 3-4 times and then set completely.
The Hot fudge sauce- I made this just after adding the layer of vanilla ice cream to the cake.
Preparation time-2 minutes
Cooking time-2 minutes
1 C / 230gms/ 8 oz of caster sugar
3 tblsp / 24gms/1.5 oz of natural unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tblsp /15gms/ 1 oz of cornflour/cornstarch
1 and ½ C /355ml /12 fl oz of water
1 tblsp /14gms/ 1 oz butter
1 tsp/5 ml / .15 fl oz vanilla extract
- In a small saucepan, whisk together the sugar, cocoa powder, cornflour and water.
- Place the pan over heat, and stir constantly, till it begins to thicken and is smooth (for about 2 minutes).
- Remove from heat and mix in the butter and vanilla. Keep aside to cool .
The chocolate ice cream-
Preparation time– 5 minutes + freezing
2C/ 500 ml whipping cream
1 C/230gms/8 oz caster sugar
3 tblsp/ 24 gms/1.5 oz of natural unsweetened cocoa powder
- Grind together the sugar and the cocoa powder in a food processor .
- In a saucepan, add all the ingredients and whisk lightly.
- Place the pan over heat and keep stirring till it begins to bubble around the edges.
- Remove from heat and cool completely before transferring to a freezer friendly container till firm around the edges. If you are using an ice cream maker, churn the ice cream according to the manufacturer's instruction, after the mixture has cooled completely.
- Remove from the freezer, beat till smooth and return to the freezer. Do this 3-4 times and then set completely.
- Cut the Swiss rolls into 20 equal slices ( approximately 2 cms each ).
- Cover the bottom and sides of the bowl in which you are going to set the dessert with cling film/plastic wrap.
- Arrange two slices at the bottom of the pan, with their seam sides facing each other. Arrange the Swiss roll slices up the bowl, with the seam sides facing away from the bottom, to cover the sides of the bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and freeze till the slices are firm (at least 30 minutes).
- Soften the vanilla ice cream. Take the bowl out of the freezer, remove the cling film cover and add the ice cream on top of the cake slices. Spread it out to cover the bottom and sides of the bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and freeze till firm ( at least 1 hour)
- Add the fudge sauce over the vanilla ice cream, cover and freeze till firm . ( at least an hour)
- Soften the chocolate ice cream and spread it over the fudge sauce. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4-5 hours till completely set .
- Remove the plastic cover, and place the serving plate on top of the bowl. Turn it upside down and remove the bowl and the plastic lining. If the bowl does not come away easily, wipe the outsides of the bowl with a kitchen towel dampened with hot water. The bowl will come away easily.
- Keep the cake out of the freezer for at least 10 minutes before slicing, depending on how hot your region is. Slice with a sharp knife, dipped in hot water.

Here we see, yet again, that Randall Munroe is not good with kids. We first saw it with comic 441:
Wait, what? The woman in panel 1 is saying "Don't panic" over and over? Say what you will about pregnancy, but one thing I don't think is true about giving birth is that it comes as a surprise. It's not like you are feeling sick so you go to the doctor and he goes "woah, hey, we are going to have to do some surgery here" and then you get anaesthesia and then a few hours later the doctor is like "Yep, just as we thought! You were nine months pregnant, so here is your baby!" Because then I think an appropriate response would be "don't panic, oh shit what am I going to do, don't panic."
As I said, that is not usually what happens; usually you are aware of it ahead of time, and so any panicing is before the birth, not "after the time when your baby is able to stand up and say 'BABY!' like the little dude is doing in panel 1."
Actually, that's unfair. I don't think the baby is saying "BABY!" in panel 1, I think that's supposed to be a label. But of course, that brings up two related, worse problems: 1, The fact that readers are disagreeing as to what it is means that Randall has failed to communicate through visual means what he wanted. He could have used speech bubbles - not exactly new territory - and then we could have seen that this text was not meant as speech. Just a simple, straightforward suggestion.
The other problem, of course, is that his art is so shitty that he has to point out what a baby is because his baby is literally just a scaled down version of every other friggin character he draws.
Anyway, this comic was made by a dumb person and contains very dumb people, and i pity them all.
tomorrow, if I have time, I am going to write a review of the (several years old) Dinosaur Comics book (alternate link), just so that you see that I can write negative things about stuff I usually like.
On the subject of things you can buy from TopatoCo, what the fuck is up with this? One internet cookie to the person who can explain it to my satisfaction. Keep in mind: The size of this poster must also be explained.
Holy crap, Penny Arcade has a friggin video series? That's crazy. Totally crazy. I feel like Penny Arcade is just this unstoppable behemoth of creation, just making and producing more and more and more every day, taking over various field and drawing all human creative potential into their icy grip. That said, I totally suggest you check it out - it's only 3 videos so far, about 20 or 25 minutes of total video, so not overwhelming. And they are promising weekly updates, so I for one will try to keep up.
No one has yet offered to buy me a Winter Holidays present! This is tragic. You already know what I want, but if you are a poor person and still want to buy me a gift you should buy me one of these. Hell, the cheapest thing on TopatoCo is still something I would want to have. Now GO! go buy me gifts, all of you! I don't see why this hasn't worked already.

Q: I read that auto accidents in Washington state have decreased, as have accident-related deaths. But my insurance premium just went up 15 percent. What's going on?
A: As Washington state's insurance regulator, we do our best to hold down insurance costs. But there are things other than accident rates that can affect your auto insurance premiums. Theft rates, auto glass costs, health care costs (for injuries in a crash) can all play a role. So can the fact that modern vehicles, with more airbags, high-strength steel and sophisticated safety features can be more expensive to repair.
Rates are driven by insurers' actual claim payments, administration costs and the company's cost and loss projections for the near future.

As all you will already know, the port scanning allows us to know what doors are open, and accordingly what services are active. Nmap uses different methods of scanning, among which, for example, the SYN scan, TCP connect (), FIN scan, and so on. each of these methods needs powers of root, except the TCP connect ().
This is the technique of simpler scanning, feasible with any program that tries a connection toward a host. if the connection goes to good end, it means that the door is open. this tecnique is based on the "THREE WAY HANDSHAKE", that is illustrated funziunder.
this technique is the more easy to find, any non blind administrator and every circumferentor of intrusions that is defined such it would make suspicious itself to see the same host that connects itself to a lot of doors.
# nmap -St host
SYN SCAN (or Half-open scan)
This type of scan effects a " half connection ".
a packet is sent with the flag SYN active: if the server responds with a flag SYN and ACK active it means that the door is open; the attacker now will send a packet with the flag RST, so it won't complete the connection. if the server responds with the flags ACK and RST, the door it is closed. in comparison to the preceding one, for the attacker this technique has the advantage that not all the servers record the attempts of connection not gone to good end.
# nmap - sS host
With this technique an attacker is able to know what handed UDPs are open. the operation is enough simple. the attacker sends a packet UDP of 0 byte; if the door is open he will not have any answer, otherwise it will receive a packet ICMP port unreacheble. this type of scanning is very slow since many systems use a contained suggestion in the RFC 1812 that it limits the amount of the error messages ICMP. on the systems Windows this problem doesn't introduce him since Microsoft has not followed the suggestion, allowing the attacker a faster scanning.
# nmap -sU host
the Window scan serves to determine if a door is filtered or less and even if it is open.
this type of scanning founds itself on an anomaly of the dimension of the window TCP. among the systems vulnerabilities to this leak we find many by-products of BSD but not only: FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, OS/2, MacOS, SunOS 4.x, Amiga, BeOS.
# nmap - sW host
Now we will analyze the methods of more insidious scan or the FIN scan, the Xmas Tree and the Null scan. I say more insidious because it is more difficult that these could be logged. as the preceding Window scan these techniques don't work on systems Microsoft.
the attacker sends a packet with the Flag Fin active, if the door is open the attacker will recive nothing , if instead the door were closed the attacker will receive a packet with the active Flag RST.
# nmap - sF host
This time the active flags are 3: FIN, URG, PUSH. if the attacker doesn't receive anything the door is open. if he receives a RST the door is closed.
# nmap - sX host
The operation is identical to the two precedents (nothing = open; RST = closed).
the packet that the attacker sends won't have any active flag
# nmap -sN host

Ha! I am the maker of comic threads now! Why exactly we need to make these threads when there's a tag-board is kind of questionable...however!
This "Peace Keeper" thing sounds interesting...but they actually may have appeared in the comic before, or at least been mentioned, and I was the super noob who forgot. That's happened to me before. Anyway, it sounds like the Templar don't like them and vice versa...but in that case wouldn't it kind of be ripping off Hellsing? And that was something about Hellsing that I, personally, didn't like, to. Two organizations with similar goals not only forming a rivalry, but willing to kill each other on sight...to me it seems a little dumb. Hopefully this isn't like that.

I kill you in the name of peace.
If I hadn't grown up to be a video game reviewer, I think my second choice may have been an Assassin. After all, I am a qualified marksman, and I even won a couple trophies in archery when I was in High School. I have disposed of countless rodents, insects and arachnids with Ruthless Efficiency and a Callous Disregard for life.
[image1]And just think of the perks! You make your own hours, possess your own arsenal of death, and blood stains are easy to get out. You can tell mysterious, cool cover stories to dates, and your customers never, ever, turn up later to complain. Plus all the hashish you can eat.
Which is probably why I've had so much fun taking on the job in Assassin's Creed. This beautiful, sprawling sandbox title turns the Crusades of the twelfth century into your personal playground of murder.
King Richard seeks to capture Jerusalem for the greater glory of the Christian church and the Pope has assured him that his victory over the heathens in Acre made baby Jesus smile. The sultan Saladin, on the other hand, is not smiling in the slightest as he tries to defend his homeland from the infidel dogs who are making Muhammad angrier than a Danish cartoon.
Meanwhile, the mysterious Templars seek to pull the hidden puppet strings and control the world for themselves, so that centuries later, they can fake the moon landings, run the world bank, and kill the electric car.
[image2]And you, a simple bartender in year 2012, are caught in the middle. Wait, what? As crazy as that sounds, you'll actually spend most of the game as your distant past relative, Altaïr, who was the leading assassin of the day. Held against your will by the Abstergo corporation, you are forced to relive your great-great-great-great-grandassassin's memories, which are still stored in your DNA and can be accesses through the miracle of modern science known as the Animus.
While you'll spend some time exploring your small prison in the laboratory, trying to solve the riddle of your incarceration, you'll spend the vast majority of your time exploring the dusty streets and cities of the ancient Middle East. And I do not exaggerate when I say these are the most beautiful, fully realized cities that have yet to grace a video game, from the wooden docks to the vaulted ceiling of a grand bazaar and the towering heights of a cathedral cross. I got your next-gen right here.
Use your uncanny climbing skills to ascend a tower or minaret, reach a vantage point (one of the game's many optional goals), and prepare to have your breath taken away. The vast expanses of Damascus and Jerusalem spread out beneath you, basking in the dappled, glowing sunlight. You will be momentarily stunned when you realize that every building, every street, every mosque and church spire you can see is really there, waiting for you.
[image3]Then you leap, gracefully landing (hopefully) in one of the many conveniently placed hay carts that dot the city, cushioning your falls and providing handy concealment. Hay is the assassin's best friend. Your dives aren't your only graceful moves either. Whether you're running, jumping, scaling a wall, or artfully dispatching an enemy, your precise agility would leave a panther hanging his feline head in shame.
The city is truly your playground, as you wander and unravel the politics of the day seeking the latest soft, fleshy target of the Assassin's Guild. All your primary victims, by the way, are real historical figures. Assorted mandatory and optional side missions can also aid you in your goal. Pick the pocket of a courier to gain valuable information, or rescue a citizen from corrupt guards and their friends may come to your aid, helping you to sneak into a castle or tackling guards that may be chasing you. A weaker mission type has you collecting flags, Tony Hawk style (for the completionist, there are hundreds of hidden flags), and there isn't quite enough variety, but hey, they're optional, right?
I wanted to complete them all, however, just to give me a side task while I played around, exploring the nooks and crannies of every city. Assassin's Creed has been getting some mixed reviews, and I know why. You can take some people to a park, and they'll come back an hour later with the information that it has 1.2 miles of path, a regular slide, a twisty slide, and some swings. But they won't have actually played on the slide, enjoyed a sunny day, taken off their shoes to run through the grass, or climbed the tree that they forgot to catalog. The goal of Assassin's Creed is to play the game, not get to the end.
[image4]That doesn't mean that there's no room for improvement. The game could use some more depth, both in missions and perhaps an economy, allowing more interaction with the many markets, which are only currently there for show. The assassinations themselves could also use some more alternatives. While you can investigate for information about your target and how to get to him, the kills always work out the same way. There's no puzzle elements to the killing, and often no way to devise a stealth kill, like you can in the Hitman series. Instead, you just stab them, usually in public, and then flee…
Flee back into those glorious city streets and across the rooftops to sound your barbaric "Yawp!", because that's where this game really shines.

Father issues plea for missing UF student
Pedro Bravo charged with murder of Christian Aguilar
SWEETWATER, Fla. – The father of Christian Aguilar, the University of Florida student who was last seen more than a week ago, issued a plea for help finding his body.
Carlos Aguilar asked for the FBI to aid in the search in a statement issued Monday.
"Do not give up on my son. We need the FBI to join the search for Christian. We need his body to be found to create a solid case and make sure Pedro never walks outside of a jail cell," Carlos Aguilar said in a statement.
Aguilar asked the University of Florida to help disseminate information about the case to students. He said some students were unaware of it when they received flyers about the case.
"Someone on campus may have seen Pedro's truck or my son. Someone on campus may have the key to finding his body," Carlos Aguilar said in the statement.
Christian Aguilar was last seen September 20. Gainesville police charged Pedro Bravo, Aguilar's friend and former Doral Academy classmate, with his murder on Friday. Bravo had previously been charged with depriving a victim of medical treatment.
Investigators said Bravo confessed to beating Aguilar after they confronted him with new evidence, including the discovery of blood in Bravo's vehicle and Aguilar's backpack inside a suitcase in Bravo's closet.
Bravo was denied bond Saturday and has been on suicide watch. He is being kept in the Alachua County jail's medical unit under close observation.
The Gainesville Police Department's Mounted Patrol Unit and members of Texas EquuSearch joined the search for the missing University of Florida student Sunday afternoon.
Anyone who may have captured the SUV on video is asked to call police at 352-393-7670.

At Governors State University, all Principal Investigators must complete training and a disclosure form prior to proposal submission and update regularly to remain in compliance.
The faculty and staff at GSU are pursuing an increasing number of sponsored research activities. The university plans to increase externally sponsored funding through contracts, grants and extramural funding. As sponsored research activities grow in sophistication and complexity, it becomes necessary to comply with federal regulations regarding significant financial conflicts of interest in research and educational activities.
A significant financial conflict of interest - FCOI - means a significant financial interest that could directly and significantly affect the design, conduct or reporting of research or educational activities. Faculty and staff of the university have the obligation to scrupulously maintain the objectivity of their research and educational activities by avoiding any financial conflicts of interest. GSU developed Policy 68 to protect the integrity of externally sponsored research and educational activities and to comply with federal regulations.The purpose of this policy is to promote objectivity in externally funded research and educational activities by establishing standards that provide a reasonable expectation that the design, conduct and reporting of research and educational activities funded under external grants or cooperative agreements will be free from bias resulting from the investigator (including the investigator's spouse and dependent children) having significant financial conflicts of interest.
How often do I complete the FCOI form and CITI training to stay in compliance?

CBS Local – A man in Dublin has worked photoshop magic to make it appear as if his baby daughter were in perilous situations. To someone on the outside, a quick view at Stephen Crowley's Instagram might lead one to tip him for worst father of the year.
Obviously, that's not the case. Crowley uses these photoshops of his daughter, Hannah, for the comedic effect. He thought it'd be a funny, innocuous prank and hopes it'll help raise awareness for "Be The Match," a bone marrow registry that connects donors with people in need.
A post shared by Stephen Crowley (@steecrowley) on
Hannah has been diagnosed with a rare immune disorder and spent six months in the hospital receiving chemotherapy and a bone marrow transplant.
"She's lots of fun and has a great sense of humor given what she's been through so far," Crowley said. "Because we missed out on so much normal stuff of the first year, we take tons of photos now."
Cooking up a storm (before everyone goes crazy, don't worry, the oven clock is set wrong, she isn't actually still awake at 9.35pm)
A post shared by Stephen Crowley (@steecrowley) on
Out of 27 million worldwide donors, there were reportedly only three suitable for Hannah, who's health is 'improving.'

San Francisco fire officials say a 10-year-old girl has died in a fire that raced through a Treasure Island apartment complex early Saturday.
Officials say when firefighters arrived at the complex around 12:15 a.m. Saturday they found flames roaring out of the two-story building.
Fire Department Deputy Chief of Operations Mark Gonzalez told KTVU-TV ( https://bit.ly/XPvVSZ ) that the family of the girl told firefighters that she was trapped inside their second floor apartment.
Gonzalez says firefighters tried to rescue the girl, but could not get to her. Two firefighters suffered minor injuries in the rescue attempt.
The name of the girl has not been released.
The American Red Cross says the fire displaced 22 people, including eleven children.

Los Angeles Clippers head coach Vinny Del Negro has been vocal about his team's intensity this season.
He wanted nuts. Well, he got nuts.
If a 129-97 mauling of the Pistons wasn't enough for the Clippers, DeAndre Jordan nailed down a massive dunk on Pistons guard Brandon Knight that demoralized Detroit and set social media ablaze.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
With 4:30 left in the second quarter, Clippers point guard Chris Paul found Jordan open in the paint for the monster alley-oop and the foul.
The face Jordan made after the dunk has already inspired memes. The dunk photo has already been called "a crime scene" and "embarrassing." The dunk has even influenced a series of photoshopped pictorials. The havoc extended to Knight's Wikipedia page, which read, "On March 10, 2013, Knight died in a game vs. the Los Angeles Clippers. The cause of death was determined to be DeAndre Jordan."
Check out the video below to see the dunk and "the face":
Hours after the game and into the next morning, the tweets continued.
"Tonight Brandon Knight made me embarrassed to be from Detroit," New York Jets wide receiver Braylon Edwards tweeted. "DeAndre Jordan's dunk was the best other than Vince (Carter) over the 7 footer."
"DeAndre Jordan!!!! Dayyyuummmm!! Dunk of the year," Lebron James tweeted.
Some journalists were a bit more impartial and gave the much smaller Knight some credit.
"Brandon Knight should have gotten out of the way, but as a rule I'll take the guys who aren't afraid to get dunked on over the guys who are," The National Post's Bruce Arthur tweeted.
After the game, Jordan's teammates were still in shock.
''That was the best dunk of the year and the best I've seen in person,'' Clippers star Blake Griffin said.
Last month, Knight was the victim of another thrashing. The Cavs and reigning rookie of the year Kyrie Irving crossed over during the Rising Stars Challenge in what can only be called ankle shattering.
What are your thoughts? Is Jordan's dunk the best this season? Should Knight be embarrassed?

The Slanch Report caught Orestes Destrade getting a little distracted during the replay of the Phillies-Brewers contest on Thursday's Baseball Tonight. The objet du distraction: Jayson Werth's mother,.
Destrade goes onto to describe her as "young looking" between fapping noises and hoping Werth hits more homers so they can keep cutting away to his mom.
According to Werth's wikipedia page his mom, Kim, was quite the athlete in her day, participating in the Olympic trials for the 100 meter and the long jump. Also, her father and uncle were both Major Leaguers, Werth's birth father was a minor leaguer and her current husband, Dennis Werth, played 3 years of big league ball, so she's a baseball gal through and through.
Well, that's settles it. Destrade need only draw coverage for the next Cougar Track Meet and forget about all this unnecessary baseball stuff.

Frank Deford has always been infatuated with vivacious young tennis stars, so it's not surprising he'd offer his take on the recent ITF grunt ban considerations with a creepy I'm-typing-this-pantsless approach. SportressofBlogitude gives the porny rundown on Deford's latest column.
Deford enjoys the "spots of noise" emitted when two sinewy young ladies battle it out on the tennis court and he can't understand why the ITF is labeling them distractions. With that in mind, he offers up this little paragraph that could easily be mistaken for a passage from a Johanna Lindsey romance novel:
Senhorita Larcher de Brito is more of a shrieker, as was Ms. Sharapova. And, for those connoisseurs of the art, Ms. Seles hit her shots with a double-barrelled wail. Sort of: ee-ee. Actually, I always thought the best grunter of all was a Romanian player named Virginia Ruzici, of the 1970s, whose shriek reminded one and all, vicariously, of ecstasy.
Color me steamy. And just to cap off the awkwardness of his piece, he goes all "Finding Forrester" in the kicker:
Give me a good grunt on the tennis court any day, even if it isn't really a grunt. Listen, I may not remember much about the sounds of sport of thirty years ago, but the sensual cries of the long-forgotten Ruzici still sound like music to my ears. Ah, and at Wimbledon Monday, young Michelle Larcher de Brito defiantly declared: "Nobody can tell me to stop grunting!"
Hey, as they say on the links: "You da girl!"
Punch the keys, for God's sake, Frank. But please don't ejaculate on them.
Not that I want confirmation, but I'm pretty sure Frank Deford Had An Erection When He Wrote This [SportressofBlogitude]

Is Public Education Provided to All Children Only Out Of Moral Obligation?
It's the 21st century and public education debates are quite common. With conversations ranging from private versus public charter schools to magnet versus baccalaureate schools, the conversation rarely includes the underlying issues of race and class in education in America. School choice has become a welcomed addition to the capitalistic society in which we live. This leads me to question whether all children, despite their race, class, gender, or socioeconomic status, should have high

As well as being able to make calls from mobile phones which won't have been confiscated, foreign visitors to North Korea will soon be able to browse the Internet.
Foreign residents of Pyongyang were informed that an Internet service would launch by 1 March. The service will be provided by Koryolink—a joint venture between Korea Post and Telecommunications Corporation and Egypt's Orascom Telecom.
The policy only covers those from outside the country—as could have been easily predicted, citizens of the country are still barred from making international calls and accessing the Internet. As such the move is likely to be entirely centered around generating revenue from tourism and not a result of Eric Schmidt's recent visit to the country.
"I think this policy is just a simple trick to earn foreign currency," said Eunkyoung Kwon, manager of International Affairs at Open North Korea, to NK News.
"Pyongyang knows it is inevitable that tourists will upload pictures and blogs after their visits, so the only difference with this move is that it just changes when visitors can release this information. By allowing foreigners to use the Internet during their trips they can correspondingly attract more tourists, but for the people the Internet remains banned."
A pricing structure has yet to be announced, however AP reports that those interested in using the service should be able to start purchasing monthly mobile Internet data plans in the next week or so for use with a USB modem or with an existing SIM card.
It is not known whether (or, more realistically, how many) restrictions will be placed on browsing sites.

MWC 15 Special
Following yesterday's news that the recent Zune player software update features an indication for phone devices support, the new Zune player software carries another secret: It's language localized! While Microsoft has neither unveiled any plans yet to sell its Zune hardware outside the U.S. nor is the Zune player software available from the German Zune.net website, it can be downloaded from the U.S. English website anyway. However, if the Zune player software is installed on a non-English PC (in this case a German Windows Vista PC, other languages aren't confirmed yet but are most likely), all dialogues change to German, immediately after the installation was started:
Also the Zune player software itself is localized now and features a German UI:
However, at this point it's not possible anymore to log-into a Zune.net account because this feature was left (normally it's located in the upper right corner, next to the close/resize buttons) which also means that there is no Zune marketplace displayed anymore. Most likely it's suppressed only and can be easily activated by Microsoft as soon as the Zune player software hits international markets officially.
But what does a localized Zune player software mean? Well, it doesn't makes sense for Microsoft to localize a software for a product which isn't designed or intend to be on sale internationally. And therefore it either means that the Zune HD (player hardware) will finally hit other countries in addition to the U.S. sooner than later or - which might be more reasonable - Microsoft prepares for an international Zune service launch for other devices than the Zune HD which are - most likely - some phone devices. If the latest rumors are true, Windows Mobile 7 will support Zune and Zune is a combination of hardware and services. So if a Windows Mobile 7 smartphone has Zune features built-in, it also needs the Zune player for media synchronization. At this point it's not said that a localized Zune player will also bring back the Zune marketplace (which allows to buy and download songs, videos and applications) but even without the Zune marketplace, a working sync solution is required if Windows Mobile devices will indeed include Zune features.
In any case, next month's Mobile World Congress in Barcelona (from where the::unwired will report from live) should give us the answers.
UPDATE: It's confirmed that the new Zune player software supports German, Spanish, Italian and French out of the box (but interestingly not UK English). Nevertheless, these are indeed the most common European languages with which Windows Mobile 7 is expected to be launched first, according to a recent DigiTimes article. Is this the missing piece which proves that Windows Mobile 7 will be announced on next month's Mobile World Congress and that Windows Mobile 7 will support Microsoft Zune features?

Applications are invited for Junior Research Fellow at RGCB
The Rajiv Gandhi Centre for Biotechnology (RGCB) is a growing phenomenon. Located in Thiruvananthapuram, the capital city of Kerala, RGCB began in 1990 amongst humble surroundings as a small charitable society called the Centre for Development of Education, Science and Technology (C-DEST). In 1991, recognizing its potential, the C-DEST was made a "Grant-in-Aid" institute of the Government of Kerala and renamed as Rajiv Gandhi Centre for Development of Education, Science and Technology (RGC-DEST), becoming the first institute in the country to be named after Sri Rajiv Gandhi, former Prime Minster of India. On April 18, 1994 the Government of Kerala took a landmark decision to restructure the institute into a comprehensive biotechnology center and thus was created the Rajiv Gandhi Centre for Biotechnology.

One last thought about reality. With reality weight-loss TV shows running amuck on the airwaves these days, it's no wonder that clients and members expect quick results.
Contestants on shows like "The Biggest Loser," which returned to the airwaves this fall, easily drop 40, 60, 80, even 100 or more pounds in just a matter of months. Granted, they spend four to six hours doing cardio and explosive interval weight-training with a dedicated personal trainer and usually only eat 1,200 to 1,800 calories a day, but that's not nearly as exciting to show on TV as dramatic weigh-ins and flashy challenges where contestants have to zip line across a ravine or bet the odds with a magic vending machine full of calories, money and one-pound passes for the aforementioned dramatic weigh-in.
Then there's "Celebrity Fit Club," which shows a group of B-list (and C-list and D-list) celebrities attempting to get back in shape, usually after a long hiatus from eating right, exercising and being active in their profession. Although the show is typically focused more on drama than weight loss, some celebrities have made radical changes to their lives and bodies, but not without the help of a doctor, psychotherapist and a drill sergeant/personal trainer/verbal abuser like Sgt. Harvey. Now tell me, what normal people have those resources at their disposal?
And, don't even get me started on past (thank goodness) shows like "Extreme Makeover" and "The Swan" that used drastic measures to "improve" people's looks.
Don't get me wrong. I appreciate that these shows promote health and fitness. Many club owners say that this type of TV programming inspires people to get fit, and they come to health clubs to help them do it. I applaud anything that gets people into a regular workout regimen. But — and this is a big but — what happens when these inspired TV watchers start working out for 30 minutes a day and realize that exercise can be tough, that it takes time, dedication, sweat and heavy breathing? And, if they don't have a support system, a workout buddy or a trainer to keep their spirits up, they're probably going to quit. As a fitness professional and a member of society, I hear this from my friends, family, clients and co-workers darn near every day: "Why am I not losing weight more quickly?"
As club owners and facility operators, we as an industry need to take the best from reality TV shows and combat the notion that losing weight and getting fit is quick and easy. Yes, for most of us in the industry, fitness is fun and enjoyable. But for people who haven't been active in 20 years, it's painful, and it takes time to build habits.
Take the momentum created from these shows and funnel it into real results for you and your members. Create programming that addresses members' needs and sets realistic expectations. Emphasize short-term and long-term goal-setting and help clients set rewards to stay motivated as they progress. Heck, even consider showing these reality TV shows in your facility, then hold a discussion afterwards with your members.
I have to admit that I do enjoy watching reality TV, sometimes even the trashy stuff. It's entertaining and, at times, it can be moving. "The Biggest Loser" has definitely picked my rear up from the couch a time or two. And, for the magazine, I've interviewed a few people who are contestants, personalities or who work behind the scenes on these shows, and I know that they only have the best interests at heart. They want to make America healthy. And so do you.
So, set the record straight. Grab hold of the weight-loss reality TV momentum, bring it into your club, and show members how great real results are.
