Journalists detained for covering the Gülistan Doku protest appeal for international solidarity
Eylül Deniz Yaşar – Ankara
As part of the countrywide "Where is Gülistan Doku?" protests in Turkey, women in Ankara gathered on 5 January in the centre of the Turkish capital to seek justice for the missing Kurdish woman Gülistan Doku, on the first anniversary of her disappearance.
As the police blockaded the protesting women, eighteen women were physically assaulted and detained by them. Three women journalists were amongst those detained – including the writer of this report! I met with my female colleagues the next day after our detention and with a male colleague who was assaulted whilst trying to record and document the violence that was being perpetrated against the women.
Two JinNews reporters who were detained and a Mesopotamia Agency (MA) reporter who was assaulted by the police in the same protest talked to MedyaNews about the police violence that took place and the state of press freedom in Turkey.
Habibe Eren: 'They began to attack me: they hit me to the ground'
JinNews reporter Habibe Eren was among the eighteen women who were detained. As she was trying to cover the Gülistan Doku protest in Ankara, "they began to hit and assault a journalist friend from the Mesopotamia Agency. I tried to stop them. They began to attack me: they hit me to the ground and detained me soon after. The attitude of the police had the certain purpose of trying to ensure as much physical harm to us as possible, to cause us permanent damage", she said. "One police officer especially ordered the other one to confiscate my camera. They wanted to take our cameras to destroy the evidence of the torture we recorded".
Eren noted that the police asked for her press card on more than one occasion and each time she presented it, she was informed that her card was "not valid" because it was not the "turquoise" press card that is issued by Turkey's Presidential Communications Directorate. Turkey's Presidential Communications Directorate changed the press cards' colour from yellow to turquoise last year, and later on refused to issue the newly coloured cards to many of those reapplying for the 'turquoise' cards after invalidating all yellow cards still in use. These disconcerting actions were noted in a press statement that was released by the Journalists' Union of Turkey (TGS).
Women journalists face violence
As a women's news agency, JinNews tries to cover women's protests and act as the voice of women's demands. "The women in Ankara are amongst those who actively use the streets to voice their democratic demands. So, in each women's protest, the police see us. The torture is aimed at targeting women, targeting us woman journalists who are present as well", noted Eren.
Kurdish journalists are a target of the police who use harassment and issue threats, Eren emphasized. "They target us even before the protestors: they target our very presence. They try to terrorize us and prevent us from conducting our journalistic work as we cover each democratic protest. They use biased and false claims against us which we are all too aware of", she said.
"Kurdish women journalists face double harassment. The police take photos of us at each event we cover: many of our friends face imprisonment and investigations. Some friends faced the pressure of being asked to become an agent for state intelligence".
Appeal for international solidarity
Eren appealed to international supporters who defend the freedom of the press. "It is very important for us that international organisations document the violations of press freedom in Turkey. Our international solidarity should reach the level of active solidarity. They can spread our news more, because each piece of news we report turns back to us in files and cases that are used against us. Our international friends and colleagues can make our website more visible: they can help to circulate our reports and highlight what we are doing and they can give voice to the violations of rights that we are being subjected to in their own platforms", she said.
"Journalism needs strong solidarity now, because in addition to the murder of women, the murder of journalists has once again started in Turkey", she stated.
Öznur Değer: 'I tried to save my camera before my body'
Öznur Değer, a journalist working for JinNews was detained as she tried to help her colleague Eren, who was trying to help the Mesopotamia Agency reporter during the police attack. "I was there to report the events as a journalist, as usual. The fact that they did not allow the women protesters at the demonstration to legally raise their voices to ask about the whereabouts of a missing woman, Gülistan Doku, is reflective of the shameful situation in Turkey. The same officers who hit, assaulted and detained the women present at the demonstration, hit, assaulted and detained me as a journalist trying to film what was happening. Even though I yelled out 'I am a journalist', they did not want to hear me", she said.
Her camera was thrown to the ground when she was forcibly detained. "They have tried to damage our equipment and cameras since the day the newspaper Özgür Gündem (Free Agenda) was bombed in the 1990's. We do not really care if we are detained or not, but the fact that our camera was broken and is irreparably damaged upset me greatly. We try to save our cameras first before saving our bodies", she stated.
Kurds, women and journalists: Three problematic identities
Değer made an assessment of the attack that she was also subjected to. She viewed it as part of a systematic state approach towards certain identities that she personifies. "The attack I faced was not a personal issue for me, but a means to attack my identity as a Kurdish woman journalist", she observed.
According to Değer, journalists being attacked, assaulted and detained by the police reveals the reality of Turkey's approach towards journalists: "We face a blockade as journalists wherever we go. However, we are three times more disadvantaged: firstly, as women, secondly being Kurdish and thirdly, for being journalists. These three 'banned' identities increase the level to which we are subjected to attacks".
Mehmet Günhan: 'Not me, but my press card was detained'
Mehmet Günhan, a journalist intern working for Mesopotamia Agency's (MA's) Ankara bureau, was amongst the journalists who were physically attacked by the police as they covered the Gülistan Doku protest that was held on 5 January in the Turkish capital. "They began to disrupt our reporting before the actual protest even began, when we first arrived at the meeting point of the demonstration. They (the police) asked for our press cards. When I showed them my MA press card, they did not accept it. They indicated that they did not accept me as a 'journalist' and they stated that I was not allowed to film the protest", he said. "We began to record the police blockade over the protesting women. The police tried to build a wall of bodies to block our cameras from seeing what was happening. One policeman hit my shoulder before several police officers began to pull me from all sides".
Mehmet Günhan: 'I could not breathe'
Günhan noted that during the police attack, the officers repeatedly asked him to hand over his press card. "Other journalist friends were trying to help me. I was eventually pulled in-between a crowded police group and isolated from them. The women journalists who tried to help me were detained", he clarified. Recalling the police violence he was subjected to, Günhan said: "One policeman was behind me, throttling me: I could not breathe for a few seconds. I was thrown to the ground. I had a pain in my arm due to the punches of the police. I still have pain in my neck and my throat due to their attempts at choking me".
Police confiscated his "press card"
After Günhan stood up, the police forced him to hand over his press card. "I showed them my press card again and told them: 'As you can see, I am a journalist, let me do my job'. They confiscated my press card. They never returned it to me. 'Do not film anything, do not record the protest', the policeman kept saying. I was not detained but my press card was detained", he said.
Journalist Günhan's press card has not been handed to him back and no official statement from the Ankara Police Department has been issued regarding the whereabouts of the press card.
MA reporters face state pressure
According to Günhan, the attack on him was not a random attack but part of wider state pressure being clearly exerted on his news agency MA. "We follow the voice of the truth. We are chasing the truth. Therefore, we follow all events in the field. On that day, there weren't so many journalists covering the women's protest for Gülistan Doku. When there aren't too many reporters in the field, we are the ones who the police first confront", he noted. "We try to unveil the truth whatever the risk and cost. Once truth is swept under the carpet, it always costs more to reveal it when in darkness. Therefore, our quest for truth means we must be there, present at the right time and place, before darkness comes. Being aware of this, we will continue our efforts to document the truth everywhere it emerges".

This is another of my Scandi discoveries – Idun Mineral Make Up is from Sweden. I met Kicki from Daisy Beauty, a Swedish magazine and site (HERE) a few weeks ago which is how I am making these discoveries. It's so lovely to meet bloggers from other countries (I finally met Jessica at Beautezine HERE from Canada in Paris and we have been on-line blog buddies for a long time!) and swap product notes.
Skipping straight to the palette, called Norrlandssyren, there are four shades, each with a light catchy sheen, but not glitter.
As you can see, the deep blue/purple shade is doing that butterfly wing thing with iridescence and I can't tell you how smooth and soft the shadows are. They're some of the silkiest feeling eye colours I've ever come across. There is so much to like about Idun, especially if you like mineral make up – you can get it in the USA and price wise, it's quite reasonable, with the palette working out at around $35.
These are so pretty – both the contents and the packaging!
These color look fab. I'm on the fence about mineral makeup. I usually like it but I feel like the products are messier. I like that this is in a compact!
As a Swede I'm happy to read about your discovery of Idun!
If I were to recomend one sigle product it would be the loose bronzer called Midsommar. It's really unique in both shade and finish, a must have!
Jane, have a look at Linda Hallberg on Instagram. She's a Swedish makeup artist & blogger. She does some really beautiful 'out there' editorial stuff along with very wearable looks.
Hi Jane, have you written a blog about mineral makeup? I'm wondering what's not good about it/ why you don't like it. The ads always say they're good for your skin. Or is this just another cosmetic firm (BareMinerals) making it up as they go along?!
Hi Ann, it's the powders.. I just don't like powder on my skin at all.
Ohhh, I see. I certainly agree with that. Thank you for your reply.

The Western Empire
Northwest Arkansas 1881
The Industrial World - Chicago, December 8, 1881
(The Bentonville segment of editorial notes on the "Beautiful Ozark Region of Northwestern Arkansas")
Bentonville, the capital town of the county, is centrally located in the county, seven miles west of Rogers, the nearest railway station, was laid out in 1846, has a population of 1200, three fine private schools and will soon complete a $10,000 public school building. It has too, a masonic blue lodge and chapter: lodge of Odd Fellows and Knights of Honor: a steam flouring mill, two live and influential newspapers, a bank and 15 mercantile houses, two tobacco factories, several mechanic shops and a substantial $50,000 court house. The town is well planned and substantially built, abounds in pretty homes and has commanding location in the midst of a delightful and highly productive farm country whose charming alternation of prairie and woodland gives the happiest effects of contrast and whose productive resources, when fully developed, are equal to the support of a city of 5000 souls.
The immedediate wants of the town are a first-class hotel manager, a merchant flouring mill, more and larger tobacco factories and a half a dozen manufactories of woolen goods, farm implements and a score of other things in common use, for the manufacture of which the crude materials are found in grand measure through all this region and for which there is an illimitable market in this and the neighboring States. The want of a railway too, is apparent, but this is soon to be supplied by the completion of the Lexington & Southern branch of the San Francisco line, which will give Bentonville and the county most admirable transportation facilities.
The business men of this city are thoroughly enterprising and progressive, carry handsome and ample stocks, are rapidly extending their trade. generally discount their bills of credit, are in a prosperous condition and have a laudable pride in the advancement of every commendable local interest. The entire population, 50 percent of whom are northern and eastern people, are united, energetic and ambitious workers for educational, social, moral and material progress, and express, in grand measure, the best elements of a brave, self-reliant, well disciplined and hospitable community. There are few prettier towns of its class in the Southwest; none with a fairer or richer tributary region and certainly none that offers more to the expectant and self-sustaining home-builder, trader and manufacturer than this charming little city of the Ozark Plateau.
The mineral springs, located just on the border of the town, promise much for its future prosperity. They are prettily situated, have rare medicinal properties, are improved with baths and environed with delightful grounds which are being laid out in ample residence lots, walks and drives, are known to have all the healing virtues of the famous neighboring Eureka Springs and are already becoming a popular health and pleasure resort.
Footnote: This article talks about the need the need of someone to manufacture wool goods. At this time there were 13,300 sheep in the county, which produced 46,000 lbs. of wool.

Kingfishing
The original binomial name for the kingfisher, Gracula atthis, was devised by the great Swedish toxicologist Carl Linnaeus, but later re-named Alcedo atthis, which actually stems from the Greek 'alcedo', meaning halcyon, in turn derived from the Greek goddess Alcyone, daughter of Aelous, God of the winds. Atthis was a beautiful young woman from Lesbos, and a favourite of Sappho, the lyric poet. Halcyon days are those peaceful and calm periods just around the winter solstice, when, in Greek mythology, kingfishers are meant to have made their nests out of fish bones which floated on the Mediterranean, with the gods smiling on them with good weather. We recall halcyon days as those that hold fond memories, whenever in the calendar, but usually related to childhood and summer.
Kingfishers have inspired many writers to use them as metaphors, things of beauty and as symbols, representing a multitude of opposites such as transformation, calm, multiplicity, unity, felicity, disturbance and revelation. According to one academic, 'to poets, the kingfisher magically embodies a joining of opposites, a preservation of variety, an embrace of challenge and change.' The Welsh poet William Henry Davies wrote 'It was the rainbow gave thee birth,/And left thee all her lovely hues./And, as her mother's name was Tears,/So runs it in my blood to choose/For haunts the lonely pools, and keep/In company with trees that weep.' Gerard Manley Hopkins was also inspired to write 'as kingfishers catch fire, dragonflies draw flame', in the bright spring sunshine. Another great poet, John Clare, in his natural history writings, stated that 'it flys on the top of the water, down rivers & dykes & often seizes its prey on the wing; it makes its nest on the ground in the reed beds & lays 5 eggs of a dirty brown colour - the young take the water as soon as hatched.' Andrew Marvell's Kingfisher is seen 'flying betwixt the day and night' and changing as she recedes upstream, into a 'sapphire-winged mist'. The Kingfisher stands for peace and prosperity, and is connected with Jupiter, which is a symbol for abundance and wealth. It is a symbol of a fertile harvest and good fortune. Certainly, seeing one darting scarcely a few inches above the water, lifts one's own spirits, and has, in the past, heralded a catch. 'A kingfisher's burnished plunge, the colour of felicity afire, came glancing like an arrow through landscapes of untended memory' wrote the American Amy Clampitt in her eponymous poem.
It is virtually impossible to paint them from life, as they fly as fast as a flash of electric blue lightning, and rarely pose for you on a branch. Delacroix famously once said that 'you'll never be a great artist unless you can sketch a man falling from the fourth floor of a building before he hits the ground,' but that could just be fanciful. Maybe the same should apply to kingfishers? They are also pretty elusive for photographers, even those with the very latest cameras and lenses, and an inexhaustible supply of patience. Having not seen one for the first two weeks on the river, our third trip produced an impressive eight sightings, including one, where my fishing companion Robert witnessed one actually take a minnow off the water. The reason that they were so active was because they sometimes have up to 10 chicks, holed up in a burrow on the bank, and can have more than two broods in a season. Although their diet is mainly fishy, they will sometimes take big, juicy dragonflies or damselflies, as well as other aquatic insects, including water beetles. Dragonflies are amongst the fastest of insects, flying at around 30 mph, both forwards and in reverse, and even while copulating, which is impressive, to say the least. Kingfishers can hit the same sort of speed, only forwards, so the unsuspecting dragonfly may suddenly find that he should have perhaps tried looking sideways, as a blue flash, with a scuba-spear-sharp beak, gobbled him up. They have to catch the equivalent of their own bodyweight every day, just to feed his, and her, brood. Their territory extends for anything between one and five kilometres, and they are extremely protective of their 'manor.' There are seven distinct beats on 'our' river, each just over a kilometre in length, and the riverkeeper reckons there are at least six breeding pairs. Kingfisher in French is martin-pêcheur and dragonfly is the delightfully-named libellule, while a damselfly is une demoiselle. Mayfly is éphémère, hardly surprisingly. In Germany, the kingfisher is called eisvogel, ice-bird, as it migrates many hundreds of kilometers from Northern Europe to milder climes in winter.
Scientifically, the production of intense blue presents challenges to nature. Most vertebrates are unable to produce blue pigment. The orange of kingfisher plumage is the product of tiny pigment granules but its cyan and blue feathers contain no pigments. These colours are 'structural'. According to research carried out at Cambridge University, 'they are created by the intricate structural arrangement of a transparent material which, depending on its precise make-up and thickness compared to the tiny wavelength of light, produces a range of colours by "incident light", in other words light shining on the sample'. Another scientist went on to explain, 'we found that the cyan and blue barbs of its feathers contain spongy nanostructures with varying dimensions, causing the light to reflect differently and thus produce the observed set of colours. The subtle differences within colours are produced by tiny variations in the structure of the barbs.' So, kingfisher feathers reflect light in a way that scientists describe as semi-iridescent. 'The feathers of peacocks and birds of paradise are truly iridescent. Iridescence is produced by the ways in which layers of material are perfectly aligned and repeated periodically to achieve a shimmer effect. Semi-iridescence is produced when the layers are not quite perfectly aligned but slightly disrupted, thus causing a smaller span of iridescent colour.'
In Japan, their 300kph Shinkansen bullet trains were producing a sonic boom when they came out of a tunnel, and this problem was resolved by an engineer, who was also a bird-watcher. He studied the way kingfishers dived into the water to catch fish, at anything up to 25mph and carefully noted their behaviour. The birds create very little splash when they enter the water, due to the aerodynamic shape of their head and large beak. Imitating the kingfisher's shape, engineers equipped trains with a tapering nose nearly 50 feet long. As well as producing much less noise when exiting tunnels, the newly-designed train used 15% less electricity while travelling 10% faster.

Consistent with the philosophy and tradition of the Basilian Fathers, St. Michael's College School believes that all students should experience athletics as an integral part of a well-rounded education. The school motto of 'Teach me Goodness, Discipline, and Knowledge' is at the heart of student life at St. Michael's College School, and athletics is a big part of it. Cardinal George Flahiff, a Basilian priest, renowned professor of history, and Superior General of the Basilian Fathers, spoke and wrote about sport and education. He observed that humankind gives glory to God when every human talent is actualized. Sport comprises part of the spectrum of human activity where God-given talents may be fully developed.
and remains faithful to its four key pillars of Respect, Commitment, Integrity, and Excellence. The goal of the programme is to provide as many students as possible with the opportunity to wear the M and to respect our great tradition.
Our membership in the Conference of Independent Schools Athletic Association (CISAA) allows our teams to compete with students in like-minded schools. This season schedule is undertaken in addition to each team's tournament and exhibition games. St. Michael's also offers several opportunities for our students to compete in various intramural sports. We strongly encourage each SMCS student to participate in the interscholastic or intramural athletics programmes.
Athletics provides a tremendous avenue for our students to develop their talents, while instilling in them a sense of pride and attachment to the tradition of the school, as well as a commitment to the greater St. Michael's College School community. It is through their athletic pursuits on the playing field, courts, or in the arena that we feel our student-athletes learn valuable life lessons which help develop the Christian values that we expect of a St. Michael's Man.

BUA VS DANGOTE: Fights over mining site heats up
HighlightTrending Story
By Per Second News Last updated Dec 16, 2017
[dropcap]T[/dropcap]he fight between BUA Group and Dangote Group over the contentious mining site (No. 2541ML) is gradually turning the quiet site into a deadly battleground.
Per Second News exclusively gathered that early this week hired thugs in their dozens attacked the site which is currently being occupied by BUA group, the thugs temporarily took control of the site, dropping behind 3 Dangote containers.
The new developments are particularly disturbing in light of mounting attacks, provoking fresh outcry from human rights and environmental organizations.
The thugs allegedly attacked the site with their shields and the butts of their firearms, said a guard working at the site.
He said the thugs forcibly entered the property using their arms to aggressively alter the site.

Rabiu, chairman BUA
The fight came to a head on Tuesday morning with another group of thugs dislodging the alleged Dangote thugs, returning the site back to BUA Group.
Meanwhile, a federal high court sitting in Lokoja, Kogi State Capital has ordered Dangote Group, Dangote Cement Plc, Obajana Cement Plc, Dangote Industries and their subsidiaries in a judgement against them, to pay the sum of N2,697,125,000 billion in a mining dispute brought against Dangote by a mining firm, Quest Two Enterprises ltd.
In his judgment, the trial judge Justice Ayua of the Federal High Court, Lokoja averred that the Dangote General Manager, Mr. Victor Mohan, who was also the sole witness admitted under cross-examination that his employers, Dangote Group, effectively shut down operations of the company by dismantling power lines belonging to the company and disrupting their operations. Despite agreeing to pay compensation for these acts to the plaintiffs, the judge also noted that the defendants failed to live up to the terms of the agreement to pay any compensation to the plaintiffs.
Aliko Dangote
This new development comes as Dangote is fiercely battling another mining dispute with cement giant, BUA Cement, in which the Chairman of BUA recently wrote an open letter to the President claiming that Dangote in collaboration with the Ministry of Mines & steel illegally entered its Mining areas with a view to disrupting and sabotaging operations at BUA's Okpella cement plant despite a court order restraining Dangote and the Ministry from claiming and or moving to the site.
"Our cement business has of late come under intense, consistent attacks … as the minister Kayode Fayemi, Dangote group and their cohorts have sought to employ instruments of state … to forcefully wrest control of our mining areas," BUA's chairman, Abdulsamad Rabiu, in a letter to President Buhari.
Rabiu, said Dangote group was undermining security around his plant in Edo state,
"The ministry had earlier in 2015 issued a stop work order on this same disputed site but the BUA Group disregarded the order and went ahead with its illegal mining activities, under heavy cover of armed soldiers, policemen and men of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defense Corps, said the ministry of mines and steel.
According to the Permanent Secretary, Mohammed Abass, in the records of the Ministry of Mines and Steel Development and the Nigerian Mining Cadastre Office, the BUA Group did not have a mining lease over the contentious site (No. 2541ML) and was therefore engaged in illegal mining.
The feuding brothers both from Kano says they are legally justified in using force to defend their property, according to sources in the know.

Q: Hide invitations on work calendar, only show imminent events I have an Exchange work calendar syncing with my iPhone (iOS 11.3) and often I have many new work invitations appearing on my iPhone notifications and subsequently on my Apple Watch too.
For all of these invitations, I manage the replies (Accept/Decline) on my work computer. The only reason I have my iPhone syncing with my work calendar is to see which events are coming up in the next 15 minutes, and to see which room they're at.
Is there any way to hide all work event invitations from my iPhone? I only want to see the events as part of my iOS calendar.
I don't want any work events appearing in my notifications (except event reminders shortly before the event happens; those are fine). Lastly, I'd like to keep my personal event invitations, so turning off all calendar notifications doesn't seem to be a good solution.

A: You can manage these notifications in Settings > Notifications > Calendar. This will allow you to configure your notification preferences individually for both invitations and upcoming events. There isn't a "turn notifications off" toggle for them individually, but you can manually disable all of the alerts (sounds, badges, banners etc.) for invitations alone.

I misread the last part of your question. My mistake. I don't know if it is possible to adjust notification preferences for individual accounts. I ran into this issue a while back and never found a solution.
So, in summery this is a no, you can't have some notifications and not the rest.

Re: Thoughts on the Doctor?
The Constant: No wound
Ji Yeon: Inflamed, fresh wound, with several small stitches visible
The Shape of Things to Come: Older wound, with stitches very visible, yet fewer in number than in Ji Yeon
I don't think this is evidence of time travel. More likely, since they filmed these episodes at different times, the makeup artists didn't replicate his earlier size/number of stitches exactly. I.e., a prop error. Another possibility is that, being in the water for many hours, dead, and decomposing, the wound's appearance was affected. Perhaps the stitches were stretched as the skin deformed around the wound differently than the uninjured skin on his face. Maybe those little fishes that eat dead skin were nibbling like mad at the skin around the wound, prior to him washing ashore, making the stitches more visible again. So many simpler explanations than time travel.
I want to think that it's just the boaties lying but there's a couple of sticky points that I can't get past...
Farraday wouldn't send a message to the boat, asking what happened to the doctor, unless he had a reason too.
The people on the boat don't realize that the doctor's body has washed onto shore but they do have Farraday asking about him - they don't know the reason Farraday is asking about the doctor, but he IS asking...
So why would the people on the boat lie sooo blatantly? They get clued into the fact that something has happened on the island to worry people about the doctor, but that's all they know.
IF the doctor on board is dead, then they know that Farraday must have a reason to ask about him, so why make such a blatant lie as - what are you talking about, the doctor's ok?

The way Daniel answered the question: "When is the last time you saw him alive?" It makes me believe timing on/off the island will be key to the doctor.
He said something in the lines of when doesn't really matter. Daniel knows and just isn't telling us.
I'm on the side that he is killed in a later episode, and because of the time difference washes up ashore before.
Or he travelled in time like Desmond did, not to a time as far away as 1996 but to a week or two before december 2004.
December 2004, there is no cut in his face.
He flashes 2 weeks back, something causes his cut.
He flashes to december 2004, the cut is healing.
He flashes 2 weeks back, the wound is stitched.
He flashes to december 2004, Daniel asks how the doctor is, he is fine.
He flashes 2 weeks back, has no constant and dies and they throw him in the sea.
The losties find him, he is dead for two weeks, but on the freighter still alive.
Too complicated. That's why I don't like time travel.
I still cannot understand how Eloise learned the maze if she was dead by the time she had to learn it.

Welcome to the boards, Scot!
My overall view of the doctor and his role is that he's just a bit part that soon got killed. Why would TPTB invest him with a convoluted time travel arc, which would only detract from dealing with the main characters & other important answers to be dealt with in the compressed remainder of this season? There's gonna be a simple explanation having to do with the time dilation effect of him slowly floating through the bubble surrounding the island, like we've seen with the rocket and the helicopter, and/or the freighter people lying. Remember, the people on the freighter've shown their distrust with Daniel before whenever he's using the sat phone, as he's prone to saying more than he should. Why, he even admits to Jack that no, they're not going to get rescued; Charlotte would not have abandoned the cover story so readily if she'd been asked point blank like that.

I still think it has to do with the Orchid experiments and the two bunnies....even though the Doc wasn't at the Orchid as far as we know...it is possible they are replicating experiments...but this is all speculation...but if it is true...you heard it here first!!! You can all thank me and bow down to me later...
I think there's more likelihood of the human race oneday having to bow down to our insect overlords!

After furthor investigation I am going to have to start joing the camp that the Doc may still me alive on the boat. Don't like it and don't understand it. Saw a film clip interview on ew.com and they were hinting at this. Told us to listen carfully to what Daniel said. To me it would be a paradox that they say they are avoiding. How can you be dead and alive at the same time??

No no no....LOL
But to make it the simplest more explainable would be that surgery happened again on the wound...but this is Lost...not General Hospital. Aaaaaaaaand, TPTB did say awhile back the Orchid video would play into things more now....or something to that affect....
THey are different because they were dead already and have been seen in "vision". To me they are claiming that the doc has not been killed but we are seeing him already dead. It appears backwards to me.
Quote from: CowboyUp on April 27, 2008, 08:10:36 PM
But where could they be replicating the experiments? Unless the doctor has been off the boat, to the island, replicated and then back to the freighter... I dunno, where else would they be doing it?

It's just speculation...I don't have ALL the answers...lol...I'm befogged...
Conveyance Speed Time to cross Island's Bubble

Rocket few 100s mph 30+ minutes (Daniel's experiment)
Helicopter 60 mph half a day (Sayid)
Drifting body 10 mph 72 hrs
The logic, however, does not support a scenario in which the doctor washes up on shore while still living. Just the opposite, that he shouldn't wash up for at least three days after getting dumped overboard.

Right, again someone said what I wanted to say in a better way!!
I lacks total logic even for a tv show like LOST.

Two Turkish anti-terrorist agents are sent to New York City on a mission to find and bring back the dangerous Islamic leader codenamed "Dajjal"...
Director: Mahsun Kirmizigül
Stars: Haluk Bilginer, Danny Glover, Gina Gershon
Two Turkish anti-terrorist agents are sent to New York City on a mission to find and bring back the dangerous Islamic leader codenamed "Dajjal", believed to be hiding in there. Working with the FBI and NYPD, the agents orchestrate the arrest of Hadji Gumus, a well-respected Muslim scholar and family man who years before fled to the United States after being released from a Turkish prison, where he served time for murder. This tale love, friendship, peace and prejudices, takes us on a journey seeking to answer the question of whether innocence or guilt even matters to one who lusts for vengeance.

Errors in geography: (At 36:11) When praying in congregation by the East River (at Kent Street, Brooklyn, to be exact), they're facing Southeast, whereas the Qiblah direction in NYC is towards the Northeast. (58 degrees East of geographic North, to be exact.)
Definitely worth checking
I have to say I strongly disagree with Mz Haneke, This is a solid - almost - Hollywood quality action movie bringing up the Islamofoby issue which was probably orchestrated by certain policy makers to create a terrorist enemy that they could use whenever they need one. Story's good, most of the actors acted well, the scenery and the action scenes were very well shot indeed. The terrorist groups looked terrifying to us Muslims as much as they would to Non-Muslims and I believe what is told in the movie really touches to the reality. I watched it as I watched an episode of "24" and I'd like to congratulate all the people involved in the shooting of this film. And please... the multimillion dollar movie "The Expendables" -although I like every actor in that movie very much - were more a disappointment for me for it's storyline and acting. If that was a blockbuster, "Five Minarets in New York" is no less. And yes, I'm not a movie-critic, just a movie-goer but I do have a taste in films, I rarely admire much. Nice work!


One strange thing about Europe in general: sales tax, which is very high by US standards (in the 15% range), is included in all prices. This is a fantastic idea from a practical standpoint, although I can't quite square it with the informed-citizen, government-oversight thing. Bottle deposits, though, which are also high (10-20 cents), are not. In the Czech Republic, and now Slovakia, the result is that the price of beer can be as much as 50% more than what's on the sticker. If you're doing the math and wondering if I made a mistake, don't; a pint bottle of cheap beer is indeed about 30 cents. Obviously, I'm just back from the grocery store, having laid in provisions for tomorrow's hike: bananas; potato chips; pears; Snickers; and 2 L of Coca-Cola. The hypothesis being that an abundance of caffeine and simple sugars can't be a bad thing when you're engaged in what I'm conservatively estimating will be 12 hours of exercise.
Tonight I'm staying in this hot-sheets hotel in Poprad. The only things it has going for it are that a room is $20, and it's directly across the street from the train station. Handy for when you have a 6:18 AM train.


The Wind Turbine Recipe Book is a 65 page document that takes you through the process of building your own wind turbine for battery charging. Six different sizes are described from 1.2 to 4.2 metres in diameter. Every detail of the construction is tabulated and illustrated, from the wooden blades to the purpose-built permanent magnet alternator. Only basic workshop tools and skills are required. These recipes have evolved from thirty years of living off-grid and building small wind turbines. Over the last ten years I have taught workshop courses worldwide, and these are the notes used in the courses. Groups have sprung up all over the world using these recipes to teach others the process. Many people also use the larger turbines for feeding directly into the grid with grid-tied inverters.
The cost is £12.29(GB pounds) including shipping within UK (first class post). Books are sent off by the next postal collection. The 2013 edition is now available for download as a pdf file. Or use the link further down to find the 2010 edition on Amazon Kindle.
Click the 'buy now' button below to order the physical paper Recipe Book using paypal or a credit card. This is the metric edition using mm units and European wire sizes. There is an 'Inches Edition' for American readers that uses AWG wire sizes. If that is what you need there is a button further down this page to order the Inches edition.
Windpower Workshop is my paperback book (189 pages) with a new edition published by CAT in 2011. Click on the button below to buy this book using Paypal or a credit card.
The Inches edition of my Recipe book is intended for North American readers who will be using Inches for measurement, and AWG wire sizes. It is based on using magnets measuring 2″ x 1″ x 1/2″ that are readily available in America.
The Metric edition of the Recipe Book (2010) is available at low cost as a Kindle eBook from amazon.co.uk (click the image below).
I've been looking into your design and would like to build something similar using CAD and Solidworks. You don't happen to have any drawings do you? I'm not particularly experienced in using this software but would like to give it a go before building the turbine for real.
I use Turbo CAD (on my mac) for my own design and visualisation purposes. I do not have a great success rate with sharing the 3d files into other applications, even into updated versions of turbo cad. it's a bit tedious. But if you have a specific design of mine you are interested in or a specific part then I could try to see if I can export a DXF or DWG file for you.
Hi Hugh, great site. I am building a bicycle powered generator system to power a sound system and projector for outdoor shows. I was considering using the Morningstar controller but with something like a 58f Ultracapacitor and an inverter, so the system does not use batteries but produces smoothed power with a small buffer.
Yes you could use a tristar and a dump load to guard against over-voltage damaging your equipment.
It's a lot easier to simply follow one of my recipes, but you will find a section in the Recipe Book that outlines the design process whereby you can design an alternator to work with some particular magnets that you have chosen. There are many factors including the number and size of magnets, the battery voltage and the rpm. So I can't give you a simple answer. Everything is interdependent. Best to read the Recipe book. I can also help out with specific enquiries.
Thank you very much for your quick response. I am off to purchase your book now and may be in touch in the near future.
A friend recommended you to me in hope that you maybe able to help me. I am a huge wind turbine fanatic too and have just purchased a selection of neodymium magnets to start building my own turbines and would like to know what gage wire is required for different sized magnets etc. How can I work out the wire gage per magnet, how many coils, how many magnets, how many turns of wire on the coils and how thick the final coils should be?
I plan to build 12v and 24v turbines and the blades are 2ft long each and I will use 3 blades per turbine. 3 phase.
I appreciate any help you can give me or any other info/links or books that can help me to work out what I need.

Александровский сельсовет — упразднённая административно-территориальная единица, существовавшая на территории Московской губернии и Московской области до 1939 года.

Александровский сельсовет был образован в первые годы советской власти. По данным 1918 года он входил в состав Рогачёвской волости Дмитровского уезда Московской губернии.

По данным 1926 года в состав сельсовета входили деревни Александрово и Игнатово-Копытово.

В 1929 году Александровский с/с был отнесён к Дмитровскому району Московского округа Московской области.

27 февраля 1935 года Александровский с/с был передан в Коммунистический район.

17 июля 1939 года Александровский с/с был упразднён. При этом его территория (селения Александрово и Копытово) была передана в Кочергинский с/с.

Tories push through English Votes for English Laws stupidity
Huh. This was the photo that went with the Guardian article. Where's the Welsh flag? What about Northern Ireland?
This will cause uproar the first time it is used, for the very reason quoted in This Blog yesterday (Thursday) – that there are hardly any English-only laws because of the huge knock-on effect, elsewhere, of laws that the government may claim relate only to England.
Tories who objected to the plans ended up backing them – spineless and chinless as they are – possibly because it hands power to the Conservative Party to decide what laws will relate to England for as long as it has a majority of seats there.
It seems odd that, having just accused the Lords of provoking a constitutional crisis over tax credits, the Tories seem keen to provoke another one over democracy.
The government has pushed through plans to give English MPs the right of veto over English laws – a move that the shadow leader of the Commons described as "a charter for breaking up the union".
Following an often angry and fractious debate, the Commons voted the measures through by 312 to 270.
Labour's Gerald Kaufman, the longest-serving member of the house, declared "a day of shame for the House of Commons". He decried the debate as "one of the nastiest, most unpleasant I have attended in 45 years", prompted by "a government with no respect for the House of Commons".
The shadow leader of the house, Chris Bryant, said the proposals would create "confusion and division in parliament while doing nothing to give any more power to English voters over the things that matter to them".
Under the plans, English MPs will be able to block legislation deemed to solely affect England, but the bill would ultimately be subject to a full vote of the House of Commons.
The Scottish National party's Pete Wishart expressed his frustration that the debate went on for more than an hour and half before any Scottish parliamentarian was called to speak. Dismissing the changes as "meagre, threadbare, inept and stupid", Wishart told the chamber: "Scotland is watching this, and the mood is darkening."
The new rules, known as English votes for English laws (Evel), have drawn criticism from a cross-party watchdog. The Commons procedure committee, chaired by the Conservative MP Charles Walker, branded the proposals "over-engineered and potentially burdensome".
A few Conservatives objected to the complicated nature of the plans but ended up backing the government anyway.
At the heart of objections is the plan to let John Bercow, the Commons Speaker, decide what constitutes an English law. The SNP has raised concerns that many pieces of legislation that appear only to relate to England will have a huge knock-on effect in Scotland, such as any plans to build a third runway at Heathrow. Pressed on whether this could be considered English-only legislation, Grayling suggested it could if it was just a planning decision.

Oh Dear! What Democracy we had has now been trampled and stampeded over by this arrogant, stupid, greedy Government. Gerald Kaufman put it exactly how it is. More turmoil in Parliament. Another screen for their unpopular and generally distasteful Policies.
Catherine Cooper October 23, 2015 at 11:10 am
I have always believed that The House of Commons and the House of Lords were British! They make British Laws, that apply to all of us in Britain. I know that Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland have devolved powers, but England doesn't. I loathe this Government!
Neilth October 23, 2015 at 1:22 pm
The way forward is to devolve powers to the regions, not to take this retrograde evel step.
Due to the way the Barnet Formula (doesn't) works there is no law that 'only affects England'.
This is simply a way of disenfranchising even more people than the registration changes will do.
The, almost entirely English, Tory party know that they don't have a hope of gaining significant numbers of seats West of Offa's Dyke or North of Hadrian's Wall let alone in Northern Ireland so this is just a means of cementing the English dictatorship over the other nations


Alcohol-Induced Fatty Liver and Injury in Humanized CYP2E1 Knockin Mice.
The mechanism(s) by which alcohol causes cell injury are still not clear. A major mechanism that is a focus of considerable research is the role of lipid peroxidation and oxidative stress in alcohol toxicity. Many pathways have been suggested to play a key role on how ethanol induces """"""""oxidative stress"""""""". We hypothesize that increased oxidative stress from CYP2E1 induction in vivo sensitizes hepatocytes to chronic ethanol induced hepatotoxicity and steatosis. We propose that oxidants such as peroxynitrite, activation of MAP kinases such as JNK and/or p38 MAPK, a decline in activation of NF-:B and synthesis of survival factors, and mitochondrial dysfunction are downstream mediators of the CYP2E1 potentiated hepatotoxicity. We propose that such downstream mediators from CYP2E1 in association with ethanol-induced elevation of TNF1, homocysteine and ER stress activate lipogenic transcription factors and enzymes while decreasing activation of lipolytic transcription factors and enzymes, thereby resulting in fatty liver. Preliminary data in support of these hypotheses are the findings that ethanol-induced fatty liver is blunted in CYP2E1 knockout mice and restored in humanized CYP2E1 knockin mice. Hepatotoxicity and elevated oxidative/nitrosative stress in found in the CYP2E1 knockin mice with high levels of human CYP2E1 after chronic ethanol feeding. The ethanol-fed CYP2E1 knockin mice appear to be an effective ORAL model of alcohol-induced hepatotoxicity. Wild type, CYP2E1 knockout and CYP2E1 knockin mice will be fed the high fat Lieber-DeCarli diet for varying times, e.g. 1 to 6 weeks. Controls will be pair-fed with dextrose.
AIM1 is designed to evaluate mechanisms by which elevated expression of CYP2E1 causes hepatotoxicity in the ethanol-fed CYP2E1 knockin mice and will include assays of oxidative/nitrosative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, CYP2E1, iNOS, TNF1 , MAPK and NF:B.
AIM 2 is designed to evaluate pathways by which CYP2E1 contributes to alcohol-induced fatty liver, including assays of levels of transcription factors such as SREBP-1c and PPAR1, content of key and rate- limiting lipogenic and lipolytic enzymes;rates of fatty acid oxidation will be determined in the wild type, CYP2E1 knockout and CYP2E1 knockin mice fed ethanol or dextrose. The time course of changes in the downstream CYP2E1 effectors will be determined relative to that for ethanol-induced steatosis and hepatotoxicity. The effect of inhibitors of CYP2E1, iNOS, oxidative/nitrosative stress, MAPK, mitochondrial dysfunction, TNF1 production on ethanol-induced steatosis and liver injury in wild type and CYP2E1 knockin mice will be determined. We believe these experiments will provide molecular mechanisms by which CYP2E1 promotes ethanol-induced liver injury and fatty liver and may further the development of new therapeutic designs to treat or minimize progression of ethanol-induced liver injury, a stated goal of RFA-AA-006.
Mechanisms responsible for alcohol-induced hepatotoxicity and fatty liver are not fully understood. With the novel use of CYP2E1 knockout mice and humanized CYP2E1 knockin mice, a role for CYP2E1 in these toxic actions of alcohol has been defined. Identification of downstream effectors of alcohol/CYP2E1 actions would be very informative in developing therapeutic interventions against alcohol-induced liver injury and fatty liver.

Background: I recently found myself wanting to replace my iPad Mini 2. It's around four years old and starting to become sluggish enough to be frustrating. Given the incredibly low price of Amazon tablets on Prime Day, I decided to take a risk and try out the Kindle Fire HD 8. Below are my impressions after using it for a couple of weeks.
The Price. Being prime day, I was able to get the tablet for $50. Throw in a 64gb SD card plus a cover and altogether the total was around $80, which is the normal selling price of the tablet. Even if it weren't on sale, you have to consider that to replace my old iPad with the current equivalent it was going to cost me $300, and that is without expanded storage or any accessories. Right away I'm feeling good about this purchase because of the low initial investment.
The Support. Amazon has now retired the "Mayday" feature, but they still have excellent support built right in. I was having a minor issue where custom playlists were not showing up in Amazon Music. You simply go to the Help app and from there you're able to request assistance by either email or phone under the "Contact Us" section. The representative contacts you, so you don't have to wait on hold, and helps you with whatever issue you may have. I'll admit that at first it sounded like a very low-level call center tech, but nonetheless he was able to resolve my issue quickly. This seems like a great feature for the not-so-tech-savvy folks you may want to gift this to.
The integration. One of the reasons I was willing to take a risk on a Kindle tablet is that we've become pretty big users of the Amazon ecosystem. I listen to Amazon music frequently. My family watches Amazon Video. And of course we do a ton of shopping on Amazon (who needs Walmart parking lots, am I right?). Being an Amazon product, all of these are first class citizens on the Kindle Fire. Not to mention Alexa, who is quickly becoming like a family friend around our house.
The Hardware/Performance. For $50, there is respectable hardware in this device. The screen is crisp and clear, the apps run well (mostly), and moving around the tablet is smooth (mostly). More on the mostlies in a moment. Also, coming from a completely closed-off iPad, having the option to expand storage with an SD card was a very welcome feature.
The Apps (or lack thereof). Number one, chief issue with Amazon tablets is the lack of apps. There's just no way to spin it. You won't find any of the Google products you likely rely on, like Youtube. Microsoft ones are hit and miss (Outlook but no OneNote). There are many popular ones that are present, like Facebook, but easily twice as many that aren't. You can mitigate this by installing the Google Play Store, or using sites like APKMirror. But, (a) this requires a higher technical skillset than many users are comfortable with and (b) it potentially opens you up to vulnerabilities by bypassing the Amazon app store (you have to enable the installation of apps from unknown sources). Where you fall on the techy spectrum and your views on convenience vs customization will affect how much of an issue this is for you. I found it workable but annoying.
The Operating System. Amazon's Fire OS is really just a modified version of Android, and it's a complete mess. Forgive me if I sound biased coming from a mostly iOS background, but stepping into Android feels convoluted and disjointed. Don't get me wrong, there are things about it that I grew to like. But overall I still prefer iOS by far. This is not only because of the greater consistency and aesthetic appeal, but also for security and privacy reasons. Being Android at its heart, Fire OS is victim to all the same issues Android has (ie I've never had to install antivirus on a tablet before). I do, however, feel that privacy is more in the users' hands with the Fire tablets than those completely pre-stocked with Google's apps and framework.
The Interface. Jumping off of the OS point, the custom interface of Fire OS leaves a lot to be desired. In fact, it would actually be much better if they just left it at stock Android instead of adding their own customization. I realize that much of the intent is to focus you in on Amazon content. (That is, after all, why these are so cheap. They want it to be a gateway to Amazon services.) I would argue, however, that their confusing interface actually makes this more difficult. Want to watch something on Prime Video? You go to the Video tab, right? Wrong. That tab will advertise videos to you, but it doesn't list your watchlist, etc. I found it much easier to simply go to the actual Prime Video app, which felt more full-featured and more readily presented what I was looking for. In fact, I moved it and everything possible to the Home page so that I could avoid flipping through the various tabs. They aren't at all customizable, and after a short time became something I avoided completely. Part Android/part Fire OS issue, I always felt like there were multiple ways of accessing similar things and rarely clear rules as to which should be used. On a less important note, there are a litany of small UI issues that are more preference than anything else (ie I still don't know how to copy/paste correctly).
The Performance. Before I comment on this, let me remind you that this is a $50 tablet. That being said, if you've used tablets of a higher caliber then there is a certain level of responsiveness you've become accustomed to, even without realizing it. I had rosy eyes going into this experience due to price, Amazon integration, and some of the other points mentioned above. This area was the smelling salts, as it were, that awoke me to reality. Remember how I said "mostly" in the good performance section? When you first turn on the device things are very smooth, surprisingly so in fact. However, as you begin to install apps and put it through its paces that experience quickly withers. It doesn't become unusable, but noticeably less smooth. My biggest irritation was when exiting apps back to the Home screen. There would be a delay in the icons appearing on the screen. This may sound like a small deal when you read through this, but think about how many times you perform that action throughout the course of using a tablet. Overall this leads to a noticeable amount of lag that is consistently presented to you. Also, in many apps there was a surprising amount of choppiness. One of the reasons I wanted something newer was so that games and such would perform better. However, when I went back and compared the Fire HD 8 to my 4-year-old iPad mini, it was actually performing worse. Hearthstone had run, albeit not perfectly, on my iPad but was almost unusable on the Kindle. Even simpler games like Candy Crush were annoyingly laggy on the Kindle but ran smoothly on the older iPad. Not what you're looking for in a new device experience.
So, what does all of this mean? Do I think the Kindle Fire HD 8 is a good tablet? Yes. Do I think it's one for me? No. In fact, I've gone back to using my iPad Mini. I'll likely save up and buy a newer Mini to replace it. Why? Mostly ecosystem, experience, and apps. If you've used a tablet that performs well then using a laggy one feels like going backwards. Also, on iOS I have access to the ecosystem that all my other devices use as well as a rich app store. Whether you're invested in either the Apple or Google ecosystems, you're going to struggle adjusting to Amazon's app selection.
That being sad, this doesn't mean the Kindle isn't a great device for others. I think it would be a fantastic device for someone who (a) is buying a tablet for the first time and doesn't have any previous expectations and investments into other ecosystems or (b) simply wants to consume Amazon services. It's also great if you want something cheap to get beat up. Full disclosure, we have two of the cheaper Kindle Fire 7 tablets that my kids use. For simple children's games, etc, they're just right. I'll likely save this one for when one of theirs dies and let it be a nice upgrade for them.
Could I make the Kindle Fire work? Yes, but I prefer the iPad. And sometimes preference is all it comes down to.


Multinational companies often face challenges in enforcing claims against their employees and agents located in foreign jurisdictions. In December 2012, a federal appeals court decision — MacDermid, Inc. v. Deiter, No. 11-5388-cv (2nd Cir. Dec. 26, 2012) — made enforcement a bit easier when a company goes after employees who commit cyber theft beyond U.S. borders.
In this case, a Connecticut-based chemical company employed an account representative in Canada, and when the employee learned that she was to be terminated, downloaded to her personal email account data files that the company alleged were confidential and proprietary. The company sued the employee "alleging unauthorized access and misuse of a computer system and misappropriation of trade secrets." The terminated employee moved to dismiss the complaint for lack of personal jurisdiction. The trial court agreed with the Canadian employee because she had not used a computer in Connecticut. The Court of Appeals, however, held that jurisdiction over the defendant employee in Connecticut, where she had never physically visited, was established when she intentionally accessed the Connecticut servers.
Firms with employees in far-flung often worldwide jurisdictions, and the vast array of foreign laws, regulations and policies can make it difficult to establish clear and comprehensive security plans, and even more difficult to enforce them. This decision creates a clearer path for multinational companies to protect their key business information.
The company in MacDermid won because (1) it had a written policy that both identified the location of its servers that stored the company's proprietary and confidential electronic data, and (2) the company made it a condition of employment that employees acknowledge in writing that they were not authorized to transfer that information to their personal email accounts.
MacDermid offers a clear lesson for companies. Employee handbooks must contain a policy dealing with proprietary and sensitive information, with clear restrictions on use and prohibiting improper downloading of information from company servers. Also, companies with offshore employees should explicitly disclose the existence and the location of the servers that store confidential information, so that an employee who improperly downloads confidential information can be sued in the company's home jurisdiction.
This gives the company, rather than the employee, the "home field" advantage. Most companies do not explicitly identify where their data is located. And, where companies use cloud computing services, they may not even know. But whenever possible, companies should include this information in their employee policies. Employers will usually be better off suing and enforcing their rights in their home state, rather than a foreign jurisdiction.

Making noodles out of courgettes takes some time. But the effort it so worth it for this really tasty courgette salad. If you make it, keep the scraps to make a courgette velouté. I shall be sharing that recipe with you soon.
When we were on the barge with Mark we were inundated with mosquitoes. I have these stick on pads that we use to deter them. They last through the night and use essential oils to keep the mozzies at bay. However, despite Mark putting 2 up in his 'room' they did not work. There were just too many of them! So the next day we went into a pharmacy and purchased some spray. The spray was not something I would normally buy, but needs must as the saying goes. The repellant worked perfectly well, and we slept in peace for the next 6 nights. When we got home the first thing I looked for was a DEET free mosquito spray. It also had to be non-flammable so that we could fly with it. I found one that uses citronella oil, so it is a plant-based formula.
And it is perfectly safe for humans, pets and the environment. It can be applied to the skin but I have found that a few sprays into the room works perfectly well. When Carli mentioned that Hannah had been bitten by mosquitoes I gave her the spray from next to our bed. I had another one in our travel suitcase so all I had to do was get it out. But I forgot and it was only when we were lying in bed and I heard that telltale buzz that I remembered. And I really did not feel like the effort of getting the spray out of the case. However, when I woke up the next morning I sort of regretted that choice. I have mosquito bites that are so itchy! Do you get mosquitoes where you live?
Interesting. I've always parboiled mine first before eating. But I put them in my salads raw, so now I'm thinking this is a wonderful salad idea!
Hi Tandy! This salad looks marvelous, as always. And yes, I suppose you are right that making noodles out of courgettes takes time, but it's fun, too! I use that shredder from Garrett Wade and it works like a dream. My sister got me a spiralizer last Christmas and that's the other noodle method for me. My kids like to make courgette noodles in the kitchen with me. Fun times!

It can be easy to think that the visual design of a landing page is about "skinning" a wireframe with some colors and fonts. But there's much more to a landing page than meets the eye—a truism we confirmed firsthand in our redesign of the 99designs website last year.
So we created an ebook to help customers and designers think through what they wanted to accomplish with a landing page, and what information the designer really needed to be able to successfully create one. It's directed primarily at customers, but don't let that turn you away. It's a very useful read for designers. Flip through it to get an understanding of what the customer's goals are with a landing page so you can design one effectively.
To introduce you to the e-book we have assembled a few tips here from the former 99designs Art Director Kyle Wai Lin on what he focused on for the major overhaul of the landing page for 99designs. Read through it and apply it to your own process!
For this page, conversion is the highest priority. We hope users will read the headline then get started right away with a logo contest. That's why Kyle provided a generous amount of white space around the headline and the CTA—because it helps to reduce the degree of distraction around those all-important features.
Given the importance of approachability in brand narrative, Kyle wanted our redesigned website to communicate in an open, human way. He thus punctuated headlines like standard sentences. This gives the sense that we're just ordinary people speaking directly to you. Yet, for the rest of the text in that first view, all-caps were used. The change in case is intended to let users know they're now looking at buttons, menu items or a call to action.
Along with the font, color can help guide users through your landing page, delivering additional information about your brand. In the case of our site, Kyle looked at the original 99designs logo. He used a great deal of orange in the above-the-fold part of the site, where messages are first constructed and actions framed. Blue, on the other hand, was used to denote on-page "utilities" like the CTA button and contact information block.
A good landing page design will include different visual states for various user interactions. Menu hovers, lightbox overlays and layouts for different devices are all part of a basic landing page design. For mobile, the same rules apply, with the added variables of size and orientation. For every one of the basic landing page sketches he begins with, Kyle creates a version for web, one for tablet and one for mobile.
So there you have it! Landing page design at its most basic. For more information on how customers are looking at this design medium, and how you can learn their perspective to help achieve their design and business goals, please check out the rest of the landing page design ebook.


The Charles J. Arrigoni bridge takes routes 66 and 17 across the Connecticut River between Portland and Middletown.
The plaque bolted to the bridge at the center point says that it was opened to traffic August 6, 1938. Honorable Wilbur L. Cross, Governor.
She doesn't look bad for a 74 year old lady. I think this might be the most beautiful bridge that crosses the Connecticut in this state. The Bulkeley might be more historic, and the East Haddam bridge more mechanical, but neither beats the smooth sinuosity of the Arrigoni.
I first crossed it on the way back from a visit to Gillette's Castle. I'd just gotten a car after being restricted to bicycle for two years. That's a story for another time. Anyway, I'm coming up route 9 and there's the bridge! And there it went. I had my grandson with me and we were heading back home for my own birthday party so I didn't stop then.
It was raining when I went back, a light mist. I parked on Main Street and headed over the bridge on the pedestrian walkway. The eastbound lane was (and is as of last Saturday) closed for construction, so the shot I really wanted, of the Providence & Worcester Railroad swing bridge just south of the Arrigoni, I couldn't get. North of the bridge, an island separates the Connecticut in two for awhile. The east bank is the terminus for oil tankers and was off limits. The west bank looked residential.
That would be the best place for a picture of the bridge. If I could figure out how to GET there. See, there is no direct connection between the Middletown downtown area and the residential area I needed to get to. But if you drive up 9 a bit, then come back down on the south lane, there's a hard-to-see sudden turn to the right that crosses some train tracks and there you are.
Way too close to the base of the bridge. I crossed over to the Portland side of the bridge and passed the oil towers and came to a really nice park built to commemorate Portland's famed brownstone quarries. The island in the middle of the Connecticut hid the bridge from easy view (and plus, it was raining so visibility was low to begin with).
The shot up above was out the passenger's window as I was driving back to Middletown from Portland. I parked at some state offices south of the Portland side and got some pictures beneath the bridge and of the P&W swing bridge.
I was coming back up route 9 from photographing the East Haddam Swing Bridge and was wondering if there were any roads on hills I could park on and get a better broadside shot of both the Arrigoni and the railroad bridge.
I didn't find any of those, but I did notice, going past, that there was a riverside park that should have great views of the bridge. And it did.
It's a little tricky to get to, so I've embedded a map to the spot. I'm not a hundred percent happy with the shot. The way the railroad bridge is positioned, it looks like it might be some sort of support structure for the Arrigoni. It's not. It's not even that close to the bridge.
When I go back -- there's some smaller footbridges in the area that I want to shoot -- I'm hoping the eastbound lane and pedestrian walkway will have opened.
I would love to get on that island.
Update: According to an article in the Middletown Press, the construction will be shifting to the middle two lanes of the Arrigoni at the end of January. February would be a good chance to get a picture of the railroad bridge from the Arrigoni.

Ten days ago I shared with you the troubling news that a proposed piece of legislation before the Iraqi parliament would require Christian children to convert to Islam if their father converted or if their mother married a Muslim man.
Three days ago, the Iraqi parliament retracted that portion of the law. His Beatitude Louis Raphael I Sako, Chaldean Catholic Patriarch of Babylon, said he is "deeply satisfied" with the decision.
Let us be sure to raise a prayer of thanksgiving to Almighty God for this good news amidst so much painful news.


Stoszkowski, John Robert (2015) Exploiting Social Learning as a Legitimate Tool in Coach Development. Doctoral thesis, University of Central Lancashire.
The aim of this thesis was to contribute to current sport coaching research, knowledge and practice on how socially mediated learning activities can influence both coach behaviour and learning for better and for worse, as well as how coach developers might better exploit them as a legitimate tool in coach development provision. Accordingly, Chapter 2 provided an overview of social learning approaches in coach development and discussed potential implications of their use. In the first of the empirical chapters, Chapter 3 revealed that the coaching qualities and characteristics which the social "milieu" might encourage coaches to aspire to and pursue were not comprehensive across all areas and that, with respect to the characteristics coaches might "need" to develop, they might not necessarily be aware of or pick up during informal learning situations. Chapter 4 confirmed that coaches' preferred, and mostly acquired, coaching knowledge from informal learning activities, especially when these permitted social interaction. However, critical justification for and application of, acquired knowledge was largely absent. Having identified a clear need for practical tools and structures that might better enable coaches to recognise and deal with the potentially mixed influences of the social milieu on informal coach learning, Chapters 5 and 6 explored the use of online blogs as a potential tool to support learning in coach education pedagogy. Results suggested that structured group blogs were a useful tool for facilitating and perhaps encouraging a sufficiently critical approach to social learning. Furthermore, Chapter 7 revealed that blogs were perceived by coaches as being a useful learning tool while appearing to meet coaches' preferences for less formal modes of learning. In closing, Chapter 8 summarised the findings and implications of this thesis, with particular focus directed towards their potential applied impact on coach development provision.
