 But experts say it is the other essential tasks - establishing the high-tech capabilities necessary to process government insurance subsidies and create online shopping and enrollment for consumers - that could be most vulnerable with such a compressed timetable.
 Overall, the report warned that greater collaboration is needed between Government, businesses and entrepreneurs if the UK is to retain its leading position.

MANHUNT: 2-Year-Old Killed During Texas Home Invasion; Father Shot 9-10 Times
HOUSTON, Texas — Deputies responded to a home invasion at 2806 Trailing Vine early Wednesday where suspects shot three victims.
2-year-old Ivory West Jr. was shot and killed and the two other victims were in surgery. The father, 38, was shot nine to 10 times.
Deputies are still at the scene conducting an investigation with members of the Harris County Sheriff's office.
The suspects are described as two black males, 20-30 years of age.
Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said, "It's a horrible morning. You know we've seen too much loss of life especially with children. Cameron, Maleah, Jasmine just too many and that's just to name a few. And so this is simply unacceptable. As a community we can't accept it."
This is Ivory West Jr.
He is the little boy who was shot and killed this morning, standing next to his dad. His dad was shot 9-10 times. He's in the hospital in critical condition. The sheriff says the motive was robbery. Two suspects at large. #abc13 https://t.co/mBrF3kCF9D pic.twitter.com/NLNP2LBgMh

Brazilian judge rules environmental and rights activists' concerns regarding massive $11bn project must be addressed.
A federal judge in Brazil has suspended construction work on a massive dam in the heart of the Amazon rainforest.
In a statement released on Tuesday, Judge Souza Prudente said that work could only resume on the $11bn, 11,000MW Belo Monte Dam after the indigenous communities living in the area were consulted.
The dam has been condemned by environmentalists and rights activists, who say that it would devastate wildlife and the livelihoods of 40,000 people who live in the area that would be flooded.
The government, however, says the dam will be a source of clean, sustainable energy, and that it will help fuel the country's economy.
The dam would be the world's third largest when completed on the Xingu River that feeds the Amazon.
The court noted that when congress approved the project in 2005, it called for an environmental impact study after the start of the work.
Native communities had been given the right to air their concerns in parliament on the basis of that environmental-impact study.
This was not done, the court said.
It said that the Norte Energia consortium in charge of the project will be able to appeal the decision to a higher court.
Norte Energia told AFP it was awaiting formal notification of the court ruling before responding.
The court said the consortium was liable for a daily fine of $250,000 should it flout the order.
"It's a historic decision for the country and for the native communities," Antonia Melo, coordinator of the Xingu Vivo indigenous movement, said.
About 12,000 workers are due to be working on the dam's constructions, 24 hours a day, by the end of the year. Up to 22,000 are scheduled to be at the site by next year.
Work on the dam began a year ago, despite fierce opposition from local people and environmental activists.
Indigenous groups fear the dam will harm their way of life while environmentalists have warned of deforestation, greenhouse-gas emissions and irreparable damage to the ecosystem.
Belo Monte is expected to flood an area of 500sq km along the Xingu and displace 16,000 people, according to the government, although some non-governmental organisations (NGOs) put the number at 40,000 displaced.
Some 150 indigenous activists recently occupied one of the dam's four construction sites for three weeks to demand that Norte Energia honour commitments made to their communities.
The federal government plans to invest a total $1.2bn to assist the displaced, by the time the dam is completed in 2019.

I arrived in York early on Sunday the 11th November to watch a screening of my short film LOW. I've been before but totally forgot what a really beautiful city it is! The screening went fine, there was a small audience, and my film looked a little dark on account of being degraded to fit the technical specifications of HD (it's an SD film). Anyway, that aside I'm proud it was selected.
One of the highlights for me (besides being nominated in the Best Drama category) was watching HOLLOW by Rob Sorrenti (which later, deservedly won the People's Choice award). Even though I was sat on a beanbag watching this film (not too comfortable) I was totally drawn into this beautifully acted and directed story.
In fact, I was genuinely impressed by the selection and variety of films on offer throughout the whole festival from international and home-grown talent.
There aren't enough short film festivals in the North that celebrate the artform of short filmmaking, SO Aesthetica is one that I would definitely recommend submitting to and visiting in the future. And, in between watching films you get to enjoy a really beautiful city!

We had been staying just up the road from the Aparthotel Silver and so were interested in how this hotel would compare. Its location is pretty convenient: first it's right between Gracia and Fontana stations allowing great access to the metro network, second it's surrounded by restaurants and cinemas, and lastly it's not only walkable to Park Güell, but also just a single block from Casa Vicens, one of Gaudi's houses.
Checking-in wasn't an issue but they did make us surrender the keycard whenever we left the hotel – something which I'm still getting my head around. The lobby is a nice space, narrow with a lounge area with an honesty bar complete with fruit, scotch and other spirits. Theres also a piano(!), newspaper area and internet terminal.
We took the lift up to our room and when we got out the corridors had a 1970s feel to them. Ange and I looked at each other (we do that a lot), dreading what the room would look like. We needn't have worried though, once we opened the door to our room we could see that the owners had significantly renovated the rooms, turning them into true modern aparthotels.
At first glance I wondered what made this room an aparthotel – you had all the basics of a hotel: large room, bathroom, bedside tables and a desk. But the sliding doors along one wall slid apart to reveal a fully stocked kitchenette – very much like the aparthotels we'd stayed at in Budapest (St George & Milford Suites). There was also a locked door behind the sliding panel, just the right size for a washing machine and dryer, but we weren't able to confirm that's what was inside.
We weren't interested in cooking though, so went out to grab some sushi from one of the local restaurants. Just on the corner was a little supermarket, so there's certainly ample opportunity to keep the costs down and cook for yourself.
The sushi bar we went to didn't have a sitting area so we dodged the delivery drivers and headed back with our loot. We decided to be civilised and sit out on the astroturfed deck and dine al fresco. We even decided to use the plates and cutlery in the kitchenette.
The deck was neat: large enough for the table and chairs plus a pair of sun loungers, and even had a clothes line and some pegs – further proof in my eyes that there was a washing machine lurking behind the locked door.
We looked at the dirty plates we'd made and were wondering if would be worth the trip to the supermarket for cleaning supplies when I noticed in one of the cupboards a bag with washing up equipment complete with single serve dish-washing liquid! I also found a large black and white device, about the same proportions as bathroom scales. It required plugging in so I put it to one side but squirrelled away that information.
After lunch we went out and hit the sights. This involved a lot of walking and we arrived back exhausted. After showering I recalled the little machine and pulled it out and plugged it in. There were two positions on the switch and so I tried the first one. The black footprints on the device glowed blue and marbles inside it started moving. It was a foot massager! The second position made the lights go red and the marbles heated up also. Eyes agleam I positioned myself on the device and massaged away the memory of all the steps from my feet.
The next morning we had to head off early for our onwards flights, but luckily the breakfast started at 6am. There were some surprising additions to the standard continental offerings that we'd become used to: slices of potato frittata and some sort of green powder. While it looked like some sort of fine copper oxide fillings, I think it was more likely some sort of seaweed?
In addition was an outdoor eating area, also covered in astroturf. I guess the relentless Barcelona sun would fry anything else or maybe require too much watering.
Anyway, the breakfast was great and it set us up very nicely for the day.
The rooms and lobby have been upgraded really nicely. The hallways still retain their original style.
I'm not a fan of having to surrender the key whenever I leave.
Absolutely: I think it was a great set up for a long term stay in Barcelona – it's far enough away from the centre to get a more community feel, so you really do feel like you're living like a local. And with the facilities you can live as cheaply or as touristy as you want.
Aparthotel Silver supported our Summer 2017: UNESCO tour by providing a complimentary stay. All opinions remain our own.

Comedy Abby's starts March 28 on NBC, and is noteworthy because the show is shot outside. NBC is on board for ten episodes of the multi-cam comedy, which has Natalie Morales as an ex-Marine who opens a bar in her San Diego backyard.
The show shoots on the Universal lot in Los Angeles, behind what was Edie's house on Desperate Housewives. An outdoor shoot has its issues, notes the NY Times, whether it's airplanes zooming above, raccoons helping themselves to craft services, or rain and wind. The set can accommodate a studio audience of around 100.
NBC said it is the first time a multi-cam comedy has been shot outside in front of a live studio audience.
Josh Malmuth, Michael Schur and David Miner are executive producers and Pamela Fryman directed the Abby's pilot.
The cast also includes Nelson Franklin as Abby's landlord, Leonard Ouzts as her bouncer, Jessica Chaffin as a harried neighbor, Kimia Behpoornia as bar manager and Neil Flynn as a regular customer.
We spoke with comedian Ouzts at TCA in January about the show. He said the script hit him right away. "This is good, this is dope," he said after an initial read.
The scripts deftly mix in social issues with "well-written jokes," according to Ouzts. "They put us in a position to look good," he said.
The idea for the show came from a New Orleans bar called Bacchanal, said the NY Times, with a courtyard.

Science Fiction: The 101 Best Novels, 1985-2010: Interesting choices
Science Fiction: The 101 Best Novels, 1985-2010 by Damien Broderick & Paul Di Filippo
Note: You may also be interested in Stuart's reviews of:
Modern Fantasy: The 100 Best Novels, 1946-1987.
Science Fiction: The 100 Best Novels, 1949-1984.
Ever since high school, I've used David Pringle's Science Fiction: 100 Best Novels, 1949-1984 (1985), Modern Fantasy: 100 Best Novels, 1946-1987 (1988), and The Ultimate Guide to Science Fiction (1991) as excellent guides to some of the highest-quality, distinctive, and intelligent books in the SF and fantasy genres. By introducing me to many obscure and underappreciated titles and authors, including a number of UK writers unfamiliar to American fans, Pringle served to broaden my SF and fantasy horizons so much that I will always owe him a debt of gratitude. The only drawback was that he never followed up these volumes with a newer selection of titles, and after high school I became busy with college and work and family and couldn't find the time to read SF much.
Two decades later, Damien Broderick and Paul di Filippo, both SF critics and published authors in their own right, saw an opportunity to fill the gap left by Pringle. Using essentially the same format, they made a selection of their choices for the best SF novels of the next 25 years, taking up the year after Pringle's book ends. Purely by accident, I discovered Science Fiction: The 101 Best Novels, 1985-2010 and bought it on impulse. Since I had been away from the genre for about twenty years, many of the titles were completely unfamiliar to me. It was the perfect primer to catch up with the genre and get motivated to dive back in.
Each entry is 2-3 pages long and describes the author's background and body of work, importance in the genre (or not, in the case of some mainstream authors included here), and a synopsis of the book, complete with quotes, opinions, and unfortunately inexcusable spoilers of major plot points in some cases. I cannot fathom why they need to include spoilers when the book is designed to get people interested in new books to read. Both authors are regular reviewers of SF works, including in The New York Review of Science Fiction and Asimov's Science Fiction, and there is no question that they have read very widely in the genre. Imagine how many books you need to have read to narrow it down to 'just' 101 titles over a 25-year span. They are also extremely enthusiastic about their recommendations, and gleefully describe how special or underappreciated a given title is.
I, too, am a die-hard fan of speculative fiction, especially the more highbrow 'literary' SF that attempts to both entertain, enlighten, and challenge readers and deliver new insights and ideas about the world and what the future might hold. However, I found the writing style of these two reviewers to be way too clever, self-congratulatory, and more purple than Barney the Dinosaur. For example, I have never seen so much use of superfluous and pretentious terms in any book not labeled "literary criticism:" "mimetic," "deracinated," "limned," "re-complicated," "evergreen-deep tropes," and "hieratic numerology" are thrown about with abandon, just to show how incredibly erudite and sophisticated our reviewers really are. Instead of impressing me, it just made me roll my eyes in disgust. One of the best things about the SF genre is that it can be unashamedly intelligent and mind-expanding without being as haughty and elitist as mainstream "literary" writers and critics often are. So it's a shame when two clearly well-read and enthusiastic promoters of the genre feel the need to impress by mimicking the worst excesses of literary criticism. The beauty of David Pringle's books was his ability to describe in concise and clear terms what made a book worth reading without throwing in too much of his own prejudices. There are dozens of examples of irritating writing in Science Fiction: The 101 Best Novels, 1985-2010, and this sample will give you an idea of what I mean:
Lethem's beautifully balanced, metaphorically rich prose propels this blackly jolly fable to a surprising yet satisfying conclusion. By book's end, a sense that the author had accomplished his takeoff taxiing and was now fully in flight for more cosmopolitan cities pervades the pages.
In the end, I read through all the reviews in Science Fiction: The 101 Best Novels, 1985-2010, but used Goodreads and Fantasy Literature as a filter to weed out books that I wasn't sure were quite as amazing as the reviewers suggested. As we all know, no two readers will be able to agree on even a fraction of the books included in a "Best of" list, and in particular I am not sure about the recommendations in this book. However, although I have read at least half of Pringles' SF picks, I have only read a paltry 18 of the 101 books listed below, so I really can't judge how 'on-target' they are. That would depend entirely on each person's individual taste and preferences. From the list, the following titles look attractive and I plan to read them sometime in my lifetime:
This Is the Way the World Ends, The Falling Woman, Soldiers of Paradise, Life During Wartime, The Sea and Summer, Cyteen, Neverness, Grass, Queen of Angels, Barrayar, Stations of the Tide, China Mountain Zhang, Red Mars, A Fire Upon the Deep, Aristoi, Doomsday Book, Parable of the Sower, Ammonite, Brittle Innings, Permutation City, Forever Peace, Revelation Space, The Time Traveler's Wife, River of Gods, Accelerando, Spin, Blindsight, The Yiddish Policeman's Union, The Alchemy of Stone, Zoo City, and The Quantum Thief.

San Francisco's Bar Agricole has definitely got it going on.
The winner of this year's James Beard Award for "Outstanding Restaurant Design," this one-year-old, South of Market Street establishment fairly exudes coolness behind a fortress-like redwood fence that fronts a spacious courtyard for eating al fresco, and an herb garden for use by the kitchen and bar.
The building's warehouse-like facade of concrete and corrugated metal gives way to a long, narrow interior. It's made more inviting by an entire expanse of wall made of reclaimed whiskey barrel oak planks, as well as massive sculptures hanging from the ceiling that look for all the world like swaths of billowing fabric but are really hundreds of glass cylinders fused together.
We expected a youthful, hipster crowd when my husband and I were invited to dine as guests of the restaurant recently. But what we didn't count on were the many middle-aged and beyond diners who also were having a great time over food and drink.
Our server explained that was nothing out of the ordinary for this restaurant. Turns out that Generation Xers and Yers rave about the place so much that their parents can't help but want to check it out, too. How's that for the ultimate sign of cool?
After unfurling denim napkins at our bare wood table, we were all set to order a cocktail. After all, you can't go to a restaurant that's named for a type of rum made from freshly-squeezed sugar cane juice and not order a cocktail. Especially when proprietor-mixologist Thad Vogler is so meticulous about the freshness and precision of his cocktails that he also makes five types of ice to keep them cold.
My husband enjoyed the Ti Punch ($10), a blend of white agricole and lime zest with a delicate pink blush to it. I favored the Sleepyhead ($10), a smooth mix of brandy, mint, lime, sparkling wine and plenty of fresh ginger for a finish with a kick of heat.
The compact, locavore menu by native San Franciscan, Brandon Jew, changes each night.
We shared a starter of marinated local anchovies with a vinegary kick and big, crisp garlic chips that were worth fighting over.
Next, a country-style pork pate ($10) with a rustic texture — perfect for spreading on crunchy slabs of grilled bread with grainy mustard and piquant caper berries.
A vibrant orange sockeye salmon gravlax ($9) was as silky as it gets.
Caramelized slices of roasted beets were piled atop rye bread smeared with horseradish cream ($8) for a can't-miss taste of sweet and fiery.
My husband's entree of rabbit saddle ($32) was super succulent. It's how you wish supermarket pork loin could be. The leg, alongside, was fried. Porcini, scarlet turnips and mustard greens completed this plate that tasted of the forest.
My grilled sardines ($20), which had been cooked in grape leaves, arrived whole and made for messy eating. But it was worth picking through all the tiny bones to enjoy the smoky, rich flesh that lay atop a bed of white beans, avocado and olives.
To clear the palate, our server brought over a soothing pot of herbal tisane ($4), in which steeped lemon verbena, lemon balm, and mint — all grown on the premises.
I can never pass up a crepe cake when I spot it on the menu. This rather regal version ($9) was gilded with cherries and hazelnuts. It was delightfully eggy and custardy with noticeable vanilla flavor. The bruleed top was a nice touch, as was the fact that this towering stack was made up of 35 crepes. Yes, even our server was curious as to the exact number, so she went back to the kitchen to ask and was in awe as much as we were upon hearing the answer.
After all, Bar Agricole aims to please — in the coolest manner possible.
Lovely food! I really love the dessert.
I've never been a big anchovy fan, but "marinated local" are definitely appealing. And ohmygosh … crepe cake!!!!!
You're right, this place has got it.
I'm not a fish fan, but the rabbit and the crepe cake are enough to draw me to this place. How early(late) can one make reservation to know for sure if they would have crepe cake that day?
Awesome review! Sounds like a great place…hipster but not TOO much.
wow! what a fun place! I'm drooling over that dessert!
Mai: According to Bar Agicole's co-proprietor, Thad Vogler, your best bet is to call the restaurant the day before to see if the crepe cake will be on the menu the next day. You can also check the online menu the day you plan on going. Or best yet, go for brunch, as the crepe cake is usually on the menu then.
Tami: The crepe cake at Cafe des Amis in San Francisco is also great. It's a little different — shorter and with more cream in between the crepes, so that the crepes soften and almost become one with the filling. Bar Agricole's has more height and the crepes keep their texture more.
SkinnyGirl: I was over the moon to spy a cocktail with ginger — and especially one in which you could actually taste the real heat of the ginger. Too many ginger cocktails are overly sweetened, deadening the lovely bite of the ginger. Not this one.
where did you get the pictures from? I've been there a couple of times now and had almost all the same dishes but our portions were much much smaller. Interesting that the ones in the picture were much bigger.
Did they know you were a blogger and a reviewer?
oh I re-read your review and see that it was ALL paid for by the restaurant. no wonder it's so glowing and the portions are so huge.
Gen X & Yers have a lot of disposable income but I sometimes wonder about whether they have the equivalent tastebuds though some are quite discerning.
I would order that pork pate with the rustic bread and caperberries in an instant.
Delicious dinner! The crepe cake looks amazing! I have some leftover roasted beets and will make that course for lunch tomorrow, yum.

The range of industrial applications in the area of electrical heating is so diverse and extensive that it is often impossible to fulfil the demands with standardised products. Nonetheless, the cost-conscious technician, engineer and businessman tries to allow for and adhere to certain standardisations in the development and construction of industrial furnaces and thermal plants.
Heating elements and insulation are wearing parts with varying durability depending on load and use. The actual concept, calculation and construction of heating elements have a critical impact on this and are determining factors in future operating costs.
As a leader in the field of electric heating, it is key for us to solve our customers' problems and implement solutions through our own design and development department. Our team of engineers and technicians is ready to help from the initial idea through to the consulting, analysis and design to assembly on site.
For our work, we have modern tools such as CAD construction and calculation programmes for dimensioning or determining heat transfer. For many new applications, we construct prototypes for trials, which are developed through to readiness for series production in co-operation with our customer.


Happy Valentine's Day Weekend! Have I got a fun little contest for you. Have you ever wanted to see your name in a published book? What about help design a character in a book? Well today you can create your own perfect YA book boyfriend! And if I like him enough, I'll incorporate him into a 2018 or 2019 novel and credit you in the Acknowledgments :D Bonus: the winner will receive a signed arc of Girl Against the Universe and a second 2016 release of your choice.
I got this idea from the 80s movie Weird Science, totally notable because Robert Downey Jr. is in it and for some reason wasn't one of the leads. This movie is about a couple of guys trying to make the perfect woman via some sort of Maguffin they hooked up to their computer.
And because it was the 80s, their version of perfection looked sort of like a cross between...Cher and Lita Ford?
However, I am all about being inclusive, so anyone can enter this contest regardless of gender, relationship status, etc.
Don your lab coat and safety goggles and enter the book boyfriend laboratory. You can work by yourself or with a partner. Completed book boyfriends due by Feb 21st.
I will choose my favorite aspiring book boy (or randomly select from my top five favorites if it's too hard to pick) and announce the winner in the comments by the end of the month.
3. I will do my best to incorporate your book boyfriend into a future Paula Stokes novel!!!
Questions? Put them in the comments!
I kind of got very emotionally attached to my character in the very short time I created him and now I'm fiercely protective of him.
Awesome :) Even if he wins, you can take him back if you decide he needs to be in one of your own books. I'm pretty attached to my characters too.
It was weirdly more of a parental protectiveness I had, and even though I'm currently writing a dual pov story with a guy as one of the povs, I'm not too sure how I would write him, so i'd be very trusting *if* i did win.
Still, it's exciting knowing that so many more people created their own and are all probably so amazing, it's hard to choose.
I CAN'T WAIT! This is so cool!
I love YASH!! So many exciting books!!

Snapchat series: Fish where the fish are (University of New Hampshire)
Jun 18, 2015 | Reports, Research, Youth Travel
Recently touted by AdWeek as a "social media darling", Snapchat is becoming the social app of choice by the young set (think Gen Z) and an advertisement platform to watch closely. Set apart from other social networks by its decidedly transient visual and text messaging capacity, Snapchat is also attracting media companies with its Discover channels where fresh content is posted daily – and for a good chunk of change despite the absence of targeting and data for ad sponsors to analyse.
Recognising that getting acquainted with Generation Z will be of importance to those operating in the youth and student travel market, WYSE recently spoke with three organisations who are actively utilising Snapchat to communicate their brands with young people.
In the first of the series we spoke to Jason Boucher, Social Media Manager at the University of New Hampshire (UNH) in the United States, to find out how the institution is benefiting from the Snapchat revolution.
"Fish where the fish are"
WYSE: When did UNH begin using Snapchat and why did you decide to build a presence there?
UNH: We started using Snapchat in September 2014. We wanted to have more personal communication with both current students and perspective students. Snapchat seems to be more of a direct message to our targeted audience; more personal and more fun since we can share photos, text, drawings, and it's all timed.
WYSE: Who is UNH's target audience? What typifies this audience?
UNH: The audience is students and perspective students. Soon, we will transition to also include alumni and the overall community because as students advance and become alumni, it seems smart to stay in touch. As long as Snapchat grows, we should too.
WYSE: Do you have a strategy for attracting followers on Snapchat? How does this strategy differ from other social channels that UNH actively uses?
UNH: We try to post engaging content across many social media platforms, but we use Snapchat to collect content from students (our followers) and then share with the larger audience.
Instead of pushing out content, Snapchat allows content to come to us from across campus. We've had even more success since launching a UNH-specific geofilter. Students have been telling us how much they like it (both through Snapchat and through other social media channels) and they consistently use it in their stories and snaps, which helps UNH extend its reach across social media and helps promote the school and our brand.
We use the My Story feature in Snapchat to communicate and share photos or messages with our followers. Each time a new follower is added, we send an animated GIF snap back from the #UNHSocial team. Snapchat is used to engage students on a more personal level – their daily stories on Snapchat are their daily lives that they've chosen to share with us. It's more intimate in some ways—more personal.
WYSE: How many social media platforms does UNH actively utilise? Which platforms are most popular and why?
UNH: The University of New Hampshire uses more than ten social media platforms almost every day. Our five most popular and most successful platforms are Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and Snapchat. Instagram is steadily growing with more than 100 new followers each month. Snapchat is steady too, but isn't growing as fast as Instagram or Twitter.
WYSE: Is free WiFi readily available on campus- even for non-student visitors?
UNH: Yes. The university provides free WiFi for students, faculty, staff, and guests. It is also available outdoors in many areas and at the recreation and fitness center.
WYSE: Where do you see Snapchat going in the next year? Will it fizzle or sizzle?
UNH: Snapchat keeps growing and adding new features, so I see it sizzling and growing more and more on campus. With a new class coming this autumn, we'll definitely add a lot more followers on our Snapchat, which is called unhstudents. We plan to use our new followers and Snapchat connections going forward to promote events (athletics, lectures, curtailment, news, memes, photos, and contests) on campus and as a way of pushing information to our stakeholders, in this case current students and those recently admitted.
WYSE: Do you think that Snapchat offers something unique or special to the travel industry in terms of marketing?
UNH: Yes. I keep seeing different cities around the world represented on Snapchat with their own channel for a day and with many geofilters, which are illustrations splashed over the photo or video to identify what you're looking at. It's a great way to promote a city and allow people on Snapchat to see what's happening around the globe and get a sense of what life is like elsewhere from individuals instead of businesses or news outlets. Snapchat aggregates content and makes it easy for followers to share and view Our Story no matter who you are, so that's a great way to aggregate content.
WYSE: I recently spent a week with my 15-year old niece and noticed that Snapchat is her go-to messaging app. Do you think it's accurate to say that Snapchat is attractive to fairly young users? Why do you think this is? Is it something to watch as Gen Z grows up?
UNH: It definitely trends younger, but universities are beginning to pay attention and use Snapchat, as the demographics shift. If young folks are using it and they keep using it in college or at university, then it's a no-brainer for a school to have that channel and be able to connect with that audience. I always say, "Fish where the fish are." If they're on Snapchat, then I'll make sure to stay in that pond until it's dry.
About Jason Boucher
Jason Boucher is Social Media Manager at the University of New Hampshire (UNH) in the United States. He oversees the social media activities for the university, working closely with the communications and marketing team to grow social media participation from students, faculty, staff, alumni, prospective students and the local communities that UNH operates within. Jason is an avid proponent of social media and the positive role it can play within higher education.
Founded in 1866, UNH is fully accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges and is home to nearly 1,000 faculty members and more than 14,000 students across its various colleges and schools.

US Woman's Family Kidnapped By Chinese Authorities; Pleads For Their Freedom
New York [US]: A US woman hailing from the state of California has issued pleas for help from local authorities, saying two family members have been detained by Chinese authorities in a city in Northern China due to a spiritual tradition they practice.
"Since November, I have lost touch with my sister and nephew, but it turns out they've been kidnapped by the police," Shuzhi Kang, of Rowland Heights, told The Epoch Times.
The report said that Kang's sister, Shumei, 60, had been living with her 33-year-old son, Gu Zhang, in Gujiao when the arrests were made.
After not hearing from her kin, Shuzhi said another family member told her they were taken by Chinese Communist Party (CCP) police in October last year to detention centres.
The Epoch Times report said that police also seized their apartment and some of their personal property, including their vehicle, computer, and a printer.
"I was heartbroken when I heard that they have been kidnapped by the CCP's police. My tears came down right away," Kang said.
She claimed that her sister is in Gujiao city while her nephew is imprisoned in Taiyuan, the provincial capital located 15 miles away from Gujiao city.
The Chinese authorities reportedly said his arrest was due to his "using cult organisations to break the law." Both mother and son are practitioners of Falun Gong, a spiritual practice that combines meditative exercises and moral teachings.
China's constitution, which cites the leadership of the CCP, states that citizens "enjoy freedom of religious belief" but limits protections for religious practice to "normal religious activities," without defining "normal."
However, 101 Falun Gong practitioners died in 2021 as a result of persecution of their faith, compared with 107 in 2020, according to US State Department's 2021 Report on International Religious Freedom.
Both Minghui and the Falun Dafa Infocentre reported police arrested more than 5,000 practitioners and harassed more than 9,000 others, US State said citing Minghui, a Falun Gong-affiliated publication.

Thread starter Disagreeable
I just saw President Bush standing in front of group of military (again) claiming he started the Iraqi war to "liberate the the Iraqi people." Yesterday, national security adviser Stephen J. Hadley spent a good deal of time claiming that the WMD intelligence was a valid excuse for the invasion! These guys can't get their stories straight. It's no wonder more than half of Americans say Bush isn't honest.
Oh, yeah? Or is that that 10% of the people (LIKE YOURSELF) do 100% of the whining so that equals 50% in your mind (and the minds of all the liberals whose crap you choose to read)?
What you stated is opinion, nothing more. And honey buns, I'm not buying it.

Most everyone else has stopped challenging me and I do love to post these polls!
That's cause you're boring, not because you've convinced anybody. Hate to break it to you, Dis, but you sound like a broken record. You live in this fantasy where everybody is as obsessed with Bush as you are - except in reverse - and it's your duty to convince them otherwise. I've said this time and again: Bush is no genius, and he's managed to screw a lot of things up. But we're still better off with him than Clinton or Kerry. Everyone knows his poll numbers are way down - you're not the only one with a computer, radio or TV, so why do you keep trying to enlighten everyone? It's just annoying.
mp.freelance said:
Thank you this post, mp. It made me laugh.
Your sense of humor is as quirky as you are.
I wondered if you had noticed barely anyone is reading your junk, and no one is responding. Why don't you go do something useful? Surely you could make SOME positive contribution to society...
Oh, they're reading it all right. The board shows how many times posts or threads have been viewed and mine get viewed. Suites me fine if no one responds. I can continue to post my polls showing Bush's slide, articles from real Conservatives who don't agree with him, and Democratic moves to make Republicans either stand by an unpopular President Bush before the election next year or break with him publically
You responded.
Finally I did respond. After seeing all the junk you post and post and post. You are like a dog with a bone...
And I'll continue to post and post about how George W. Bush got us into this quagmire in Iraq. About how Billions of American dollars are being stolen and misspent in Iraq. And all the while hurricane survirors in Florida and on the Gulf Coast are still living in shelters!
Or here's a story about how the Middle East is on the road to democracy:
The US donates $50 million to a fund to promote economic enterprise, half the total donations. Only two (2) Arab countries donated. Where's the love, the appreciation for the US? Link below; my emphasis.
"A U.S.-backed Mideast democracy and development summit ended in rancor Saturday despite adoption of two initiatives that are part of President Bush's push to expand political freedom in a region dominated by monarchies and effective single-party rule."
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20051112/ap_on_re_mi_ea/rice
Dis, I'm sincerely curious - this isn't an ad hominem attack:
Suppose your dream comes true. Republicans are voted out of office. Bush and Cheney are impeached and are replaced with Democrats. We pull out of Iraq. IF things continue their downward spiral regardess, would you hold Democrats as accountable as you hold Bush?
If what things continue in their downward spiral? Iraq?
General unrest - the middle east, terrorism, etc.
IMO, Bush has done serious damage to the reputation of my country. We no longer have any moral grounds to try to tell other people or nations how to conduct their business. If things continue to go wrong in Iraq, yes, I'll lay the blame at his doorstep for a long, long time. I think it will be years before any Administration can repair the damage Bush has done to our relationships with countries that were once our allies and friends, not to mention our enemies. I think his invasion of Iraq is, at least partly, responsible for Iran electing a hard liner recently.
So, are you denying 9/11 was plotted well before Bush was president? Are you saying all the problems in the Middle East didn't exist beforehand? You're taking the easy way out by blaming Bush for all the world's ills.
Shame on you for trying to put words in my mouth. Shame on you for trying to spin a war that has cost us over 2,000 American lives, billions of American dollars and much of our prestige with the world. 9-11 has nothing to do with Iraq. George W. Bush, himself, has said there's no proof Saddam had anything to do with 9-11. Yet he used 9-11, the worst attack ever on our mainland, as an excuse to attack Iraq, just as he continues to use our military as props for his speeches. Apparently that doesn't bother you. I might even be able to live with that if he had managed his war properly. But he hasn't. The Bush Bunch refused to listen to professional soldiers. They sent our troops in without their armored vehicles and undermanned, believing their own hype that the Iraqi people would welcome us with open arms. Their plan was to get in and out quick and cheap. Too many Americans have paid with their lives for the stupidity and miscalculation of these people. No one has been held responsible for the misjudgments! Rumsfeld is still Sec of Def, Wolfowitz has been promoted! And yet Americans continue to die.
Shame on you for trying to put words in my mouth. Shame on you for trying to spin a war that has cost us over 2,000 American lives
Geez, do you realize you sound like a school marm: shame on you for this, shame on you for that...

Whether there was any connection between Iraq and Al-qaeda is irrelevant, since Saddam would have eventually found a way to help them if we'd let him stay in power post-9/11. He'd try to undermine our efforts in the war on terrorism every chance he got. We're better off without him, and that's that. Sure there are other wackos out there, but from a strategic position, the removal of Saddam was the most palatable choice (rather than Syria, Iran, or N. Korea) because he was openly enemy.
kolanuraven
If you're a journalist...you are sure making a lot prophecy on about Saddam "would have" done....how do you know that he would do ' this' or 'that' concerning Al-qaeda or future weapons and attack...
Shame on you for such speculation!! There is an old saying....that you keep your friends close...but your enemies closer!! We kept Saddam close for yrs....but now we've open an ant hill!! And you may or may not know....when you kick open an ant hill.....they just spread out and form more colonies.
Whether there was any connection between Iraq and Al-qaeda is irrelevant, since Saddam would have eventually found a way to help them if we'd let him stay in power post-9/11. He'd try to undermine our efforts in the war on terrorism every chance he got. We're better off without him, and that's that.
It's only irrelevant to those who support Bush blindly. To anyone who thinks our soldiers shouldn't be sent off to die on a President's whim, it's very relavent.
Sure there are other wackos out there, but from a strategic position, the removal of Saddam was the most palatable choice (rather than Syria, Iran, or N. Korea) because he was openly enemy.
So you're a military specialist now? Then why aren't you in uniform if you're so informed about military strategy? North Korea is not our friend, they actually have a nuke program, and thousands of their people die from starvation every year. Yet you say it was better to go after Saddam? Iran is not our friend. They recently elected a hard liner as their leader. They actually have a nuke program. Why didn't Bush go after them?
You know the reason as well as I do: Bush wanted Saddam. He wanted to do something Daddy didn't do. The fact that Iraq sat on huge oil reserves for his pals made it even better.

In 1967, Beryl Burton was in great form and she entered the Otley CC 12 Hour Time trial. In those days, men and women weren't allowed to race together. So to separate them, Beryl Burton started two minutes (as opposed to one minute) behind the fastest man – Mike Mcnamara. It was a ridiculous set up – a 1 minute gap between the mens and womens race provided the legal distinction; but, it gave Beryl a real carrot to chase – a realistic chance to overtake the fastest male time triallist For Mike it was hardly a good situation; he had everything to lose and not much to gain. If he lost to a women, it would do him no favours. On the other hand, if Beryl failed to beat Mike, no harm, after all she was a women and who could expect a women to beat a man?
'would you like a liquorice allsort?
Mike, in gentlemanly, fashion replied 'Ta, love' and promptly ate the sweet as the great female cyclist Beryl Burton swept past.
At the end of the 12 hour race Mike Mcnamara had beaten the 9 year old 12 hour record, finishing with 276.52 miles. However, his record beating ride, was completely overshadowed by Beryl's ride which left her with a total of 277.52 miles, the first time any male road cycling record had been held by a women.
By the way, Beryl was not a full time cyclists, she gained little in the way of sponsorship and had to work full time as well as bringing up a daughter Denise. At one time Beryl worked as a rhubarb picker for a club mate of Morley CC.
Berly Burton died aged 58 in a cycling accident. There is a memorial garden to her in her home town of Morley, near Leeds.
Died in a "cycling accident" is a misrepresentation. She died of heart failure at the end of a training run….. But in another sense, BB is immortal.
I love the story of Beryl overtaking Mike in the 12 hour. For the sake of the historical record, however, I would like to point out a couple of minor inaccuracies.
The BBAR is run over 50, 100 miles and 12 hours for men. The women's version is 25, 50 and 100 miles and Beryl did not need the 12 hour for her BBAR. In 1967 the BBAR was just the BBAR but since 1999 there have been 2 distance and 3 distance versions. The 3 distance BBAR is the same as the old one. The 2 distance version counts only the 2 shorter distances: 25 and 50 miles for women, 50 and 100 miles for men.
Beryl's record, which still stands in spite of the advent of carbon fibre bikes, disk wheels, skin suits, aero helmets and scientific training and nutrition is 277.25 miles, not 277.52. All the other competition records she set have since fallen to better equipped riders, but none of them before the 1990s.
Her daughter's name was Denise.

A: Egypt, New Valley Governorate
How the Diptych Format Was Used for Legal Documents in the Roman Empire
Image Source: archive.org
Diagram of the text layout of the 4 "pages" of the Latin diptych of 198 CE preserved in the Bodleian Library.
An unusually well-preserved diptych dated 198 CE in the Bodleian Library, Oxford, shows how this document format was used for legal documents during the Roman empire.
"The diptych contains the appointment of a guardian for a woman by the prefect of Egypt. The main body of the text inscribed on the wax is in Latin, followed by a subscription written in Greek by an amanuensis on behalf of the woman, who was illiterate. On the outside there are copies of these sections and a list of the names of seven witnesses, all written in ink directly on the wood. The diptych was originally tied shut and sealed with the seals of the witnesses to prevent tampering with the inner text, the authenticated version, while the exterior text remained available for consultation" (Hunt, R.W., The Survival of the Classics, Oxford: Bodleian Library, 1975, no. 32.)
Looking for further information on this diptych, I found a full description by B.P. Grenfell entitled A Latin-Greek Diptych of A.D. 198 in The Bodleian Quarterly Record, 2 (1920) 258-262, from which I quote:
"An admirably preserved Latin diptych with Greek signatures was recently acquired by Professor A. H. Sayce in Cairo and presented by him to the Bodleian (Lat. inscr. 10-11). The two tablets A and B, measure 15 x 12 cm., and are of wood, with holes at the usual places each having on the inside a sunk wax surface measuring 10.5 x 7.4 cm. The interior (pp. 2-3) is inscribed in Latin cursive with an official authorization from the praefect of Egypt on September 23, 198, fo the appointment of a guardian (tutor) for a woman called Mevia Dionysarion, whose signature, written for her in incorrect Greek, is appended. The exterior B (p.4) contains in Latin (1) the names of the seven witnesses customary in Latin documents of this kind, (2) at right angles to the other writing, the beginning of the usual duplicate of the main text. The exterior of A (p. 1) as (1) the end of the duplicate with the signature, (2) the title in Greek. The... diagrams show the arrangement.
"On the exterior of B there was originally a narrow band of wax covering the string which ran through the two central (and larger) holes, and on this the seals of the witnesses were impressed. The impressions have perished, but traces of the indentation left by the string on the wax are preserved.
"The arrangement of the exterior writing in our diptych is the same as that found in two single tablets from Egypt which originally formed parts of Latin diptychs. One of these (Lefebvre, Bull.soc.archéol. d'Alex. xii.39 with plates) is a military diploma of A.D. 94 discovered in the Fayûm, and corresponds to our B, except that wax was not used on the interior; the other is a fragment which I obtained in Cairo and is in the Bodleian (MS. Lat. class.e. 16 (P.); De Ricci, Proc. Soc. Bibl. Arch. xxvi. 195). It is dated A.D. 143, and though the nature of the contents is uncertain, the general arrangement clearly corresponded to that of our A. Evidentaly therefore the order of the exterior writing on our tablet was not uncommon, though the customary arrangement of the exterior writing on a diptych (e.g. Bruns, Fontes, Juris Rom. 98) is just the converse, the list of witnesses being placed on p.1 and the duplicate of the main text on p. 4. Since in the present case the duplicate was too long to be written all on one side, the arrangement adopted may well have been due to the influence of the customary arrangement of a triptych (e.g. Bruns, op. cit. 130), according to which the main text was on pp. 2-3, the list of witnesses on p. 4, the duplicate on p. 5, and pp. 1 and 6 were blank. By tranferring the duplicate to p. 1 the third tablet could be dispensed with, and a desire for economy seems to have led to the rather awkward arrangement of the exterior writing found in our diptych and its parallels...."

Nuclear weaponsB61-11 earth-penetrating weapon tested for first time in seven years
One of the main purposes of the U.S. nuclear stockpile is deterrence, and one important way to assure deterrence is to have a successful surveillance test that shows that the systems in the stockpile work. Sandia's annual surveillance program for each weapon type consists of flight tests, lab tests, and component and material tests. On 20 November 2013, researchers conducted a rocket-driven impact test of the nonnuclear components of the B61-11 earth-penetrating weapon, the first such test in seven years. Flight tests subject the weapon to shock, vibration, temperature, rotation, weather, and more. Sandia pulls random units from the stockpile for tests.
A ground-penetrating bomb, minus its nuclear components, rammed through a target at the remote Coyote Canyon test range last month in Sandia National Laboratories' first such rocket-driven impact test in seven years. Engineers said the Sandia components on the weapon performed as expected.
"Really nice work," said Engineering Sciences Director Justine Johannes, who watched the test at the aerial cable facility on a video monitor with about a dozen others who had worked toward the 20 November test for years.
A Sandia Lab release reports that the Sandia team hoisted the test B61-11, an earth-penetrating weapon, high above the target on a device attached to a rocket sled capable of thousands of pounds of thrust. The motors were lit and the rocket pulled the B61 down into the target.
The test weapon was fitted with instruments to evaluate system performance as it slammed into the target. Senior manager Patrick Sena said the preliminary data showed the test met the requirements of the worst-case conditions the B61 is expected to meet with high reliability. The weapon also was cooled to an internal and external temperature far below 0 degrees Fahrenheit for the test. It had to be de-iced twice before the test as falling rain froze on the casing.
"One of the main purposes of the stockpile is deterrence, so one important way to assure deterrence is to have a successful surveillance test that shows our systems work," Sena said.
Sandia's annual surveillance program for each weapon type consists of flight tests, lab tests, and component and material tests.
Flight tests, the most realistic, subject the test unit to shock, vibration, temperature, rotation, weather and so on. "Data from flight tests is precious because it is from a single shot device," Sena said. Sandia had worked toward the test since March 2010, the end of a hiatus on such testing that was prompted by an October 2008 accident at Sandia's separate 10,000-foot rocket sled track. In the last three years, Sandia rebuilt its ability to run the tests, including reconstructing the firing set system at the aerial cable facility, acquiring new rocket motors and putting a strong emphasis on safety surrounding the test. In addition, it rebuilt a team. Dennis Miller, senior manager for Validation and Qualification, said nearly all the technicians who set up the test had never participated in one before.

ABOUT unseen
Composer Create
RICHARD ALLAIN
"A piece begins as a collection of sounds in my head, each with a different sonic signature to it. The job of composition is to decipher those sounds, work out if they're worth pursuing or not, and somehow transfer them to the page. It can happen from sitting for hours at a desk or a piano, or it can happen driving through town, on a quick lunch break, or in the middle of the night – basically, at any time. I rarely find it easy, and I often re-work pieces for some time after I have 'finished' them...
I guess I have always created music in some way. Some of my earliest memories are of playing single notes on the piano. I remember discovering 'thirds' and thinking they sounded wonderful, before discovering 'tenths' and thinking they sounded even better. By my teens I was writing short chamber and vocal pieces, but in isolation and with no tuition of any kind. When I applied for university, I felt confident enough to submit a portfolio in the hope of studying composition seriously as part of my degree, but I didn't enjoy this aspect of the course and, by the end of it, I was disheartened by the whole thing. I spent the next four years writing and experimenting, again in isolation, but with nothing much to show for it. I then studied to become a teacher and it was a couple of years afterwards that I began to find my voice as composer. I wrote my first serious piece Salve Regina when I was twenty seven, and it sat in a drawer for the next three years before it was premiered."
VIDETE MIRACULUM
A reflection on Thomas Tallis' 'Videte Miraculum'
I found the task of writing a reflection on Tallis's masterpiece a daunting one: even putting aside Tallis's undisputed genius, writing eleven minutes of a cappella music is quite a task for a composer, not to mention the demands it would place on the singers. My inspiration for the falling figure heard in the first few bars is derived from a suspension at the opening of the original, only I have extended it by sharing it antiphonally between parts, diffused into harmonic clusters in the first section although it appears more consonant in the last. The idea for the second section is derived from the original plainsong, with its prominent interval of a fourth, which I have used in the rocking accompaniment figure. The whole piece is built, as is Tallis's, on a cantus firmus – a melody that runs throughout the work creating its tonal and structural framework. In the first and last sections the cantus firmus is shared among the lower voices; in the second, it is heard liberated in the high soprano line. Plainsong separates the three main sections of the work. The harmonic language of the piece reflects the modality of the original, and includes use of false relations, a typically piquant feature of Tallis's own harmonic language. Elements of polychoral writing also pay homage to Tallis. My intention was to create waves of sound that aid contemplation of the text, so that the piece might either be performed in a liturgical setting, or simply connect with the listener purely as a meditation on the original's imagery of redemption, the celestial, and eternity itself.

As the western world fell into darkness, she dared defend the light. Born in 355 CE in the aftermath of Constantine's reign, Hypatia of Alexandria lived in a collapsing Roman Empire, a world where obedience to religious authorities trumped science, where reason and logic threatened the new world order. It was a world on the edge of the Dark Ages, a world deciding the question of science verses religion, freedom verses orthodoxy, tolerance verses hate. For over 40 years Hypatia stood between the dark ages and the light of classical philosophy, arts, and sciences. Though none of her books survived the aggressive book burnings of religious zealots, her legacy remains that of one of the greatest scientists of all time. Student - Teacher Edition features challenging puzzles and study guide questions after every chapter, Plus a detailed timeline, and an extensive suggested reading list.

Hollywood, CA | A Californian woman is suing her own parents for 2 million dollars because she blames her parents for her "ugly genes".
Annabelle Jefferson, 44, believes her parents are fully responsible for her unpleasant physical features which have led to her three divorces and a succession of depressions and psychological troubles.
« There should be government programs to sterilize ugly people or at least make it impossible for them to have kids, » she adds.
Robert Jefferson, 82, and his wife Ruby Jefferson, 76, are being sued by their daughter because she says they shouldn't have been allowed to reproduce in the first place.
Jefferson blames her parents for her succession of unsuccessful marriages which led to a series of psychological problems.
« During my first divorce, my ex-husband told the judge that every morning he saw my face, he felt nauseous and often had to run to the bathroom and puke, » she remembers painfully.
« My last husband was technically blind but regained 40% of his sight after a successful eye surgery. He divorced me the next week, » she recalls.
She also hopes to lobby the state department in the near future to pass legislation on banning people who don't meet decent beauty or aesthetic criteria to be sterilized or not to be allowed to give birth so as to prevent others from suffering as much as she did.
6 Comments on "California woman sues her parents because she is ugly"
Ugly enough to stop a train ??? YUP!!!
Has she sterilized herself yet, I wonder.
Honey, your ugly isn't on the outside, it's on the inside.
She can have a facial surgery and leave her parents alone! She doesn't deserve 2 million dollars, she should give her parens money for taking care of her while she was growing up!
Your reply is the sick part. Won't work because she's adopted? So it might if she wasn't? You are a moron.

Q: Completely remove from history some lines from an old commit I realized that in a old commit I made some modifications to a file that I partially regret and I don't want anyone to see.
The changes for that file in this commit are not all bad, so I need to keep the good ones and this prevents me from simply removing the commit entirely.
My goal is to remove the bad lines completely from history without affecting the good ones. How can this be accomplished?
Thanks
