A spokesman of Agriculture Department said that National Agriculture Insurance Scheme (NAIS) would remain applicable for maize, paddy and potato crops during the current Kharif season, besides the scheme would also be introduced for ginger crop of Sirmaur district on experimental basis. The decision was taken in a meeting of State level Crop Coordination Committee held under the chairmanship of Additional Chief Secretary, Agriculture.
He said that those farmers who were interested to take loan on maize, paddy, potato and ginger crops during the Kharif season could insure their crops by 30th September, 2012 and added that the scheme was mandatory for such farmers. He further said that the scheme was optional for non-loanee farmers, for whom the last date for insurance was 31 July, 2012.
He said that this scheme had proved beneficial to farmers in compensating for the losses incurred on account of natural calamities and other causes. He said that the insurance cover on general coverage for maize crop was Rs.15,900 and maximum Rs. 29,700 per hectare, Rs. 12,200 and Rs. 22,900 respectively for paddy, Rs. 1,00 ,400 for potato and Rs. 3,87,200 per hectare for ginger. The rate of premium according to the insurance cover on maize was 2.50 percent and 4.60 percent, 2.50 percent and 5.20 percent for paddy, 1.80 percent on potato and 5.10 percent on ginger. 50 percent subsidy on premium was being given to small and marginal farmers, he added.
He urged the farmers to avail the benefits of the scheme and added that they could contact the nearest Primary Agriculture Cooperative Sabhas, Rural and Commercial Banks or Agriculture Extension Officers, Agriculture Development Officers or Block level officers of the department for getting their crops insured.


The way cash is raised to run political campaigns is resulting in "shocking" levels of corruption, Australians are being warned.
Singtel Optus has been fined $25,000 in the NSW Land and Environment Court after failing to disclose thousands of dollars worth of political donations.
Singtel Optus has written to the Australian Electoral Commission demanding answers about rival Telstra's failure to describe events and fundraisers as "donations" and suggesting it might not need to lodge its own disclosures.
Paying to attend a function with a politician may not be caught under the nation's disclosure laws.
Singtel Optus is facing criminal charges and fines after failing to disclose thousands of dollars worth of donations to Liberal and Labor when submitting planning applications for telecommunications sites in Thredbo and Perisher ahead of the ski season.
Social researcher Rebecca Huntley says the major parties have a history of ignoring mainstream voter opinion.
The Herald reported on Monday that the NSW Treasurer did not declare a donation made by his former law firm, which has donated thousands of dollars to the Liberal Party.
The NSW Treasurer's former law firm has donated thousands of dollars to the Liberal Party.
The Opposition is calling on Mark McGowan to repay $12,000 in taxpayer funds he used to fly to Sydney for a meeting with the NSW government, meetings with retired politicians and a fundraiser for NSW Labor.

Prospects - Devils & Otherwise
New Jersey Devils Prospect Update
By GilmourGuy93 Apr 2, 2012, 12:00pm EDT
Share All sharing options for: New Jersey Devils Prospect Update
Its prospect update time and below you will find statistical updates for Devils prospects playing in the AHL, ECHL, CHL and NCAA. I also have some other news and notes after the jump.
(Note that for OHL players (Wedgewood, Boucher) the numbers above represent their playoff statistics.)
ECHL Playoffs Begin: Starting this week, the ECHL playoffs kick off and Maxime Clermont, who just returned from an injury, will try to help the Kalamazoo Wings in their opening round series vs. the Wheeling Nailers. Kalamazoo is currently the 3rd seed in the Eastern Conference. Clermont, will likely find himself as the backup for the series, but remember that he started last year's QMJHL playoffs as the backup and had a fantastic run in the playoffs that almost led his team past the heavily favored Saint John Sea Dogs. If he can raise the level of his game again, he can be a factor for the WIngs.
Wolhberg Signs ELC: Noticed by many on Capgeek.com and then reported by the Devils themselves, David Wohlberg has signed an entry level contract with the team, which starts next season. The contract is a two-way deal and would have a $600,000 cap hit/NHL salary.
Now that Wohlberg has inked his contract....What about Corbin McPherson? Per the CBA the Devils have until August 15th to sign McPherson to an ELC otherwise he would become a free agent. I fully expect something to be completed sooner rather than later, but I hope the Devils don't wait too long. Two years ago, it seems the Devils let Mark Fayne become a free agent as they signed him to a contract almost a week past the 8/15 date. (Note that I am aware that the Devils may have already signed him and just reported it late, that's certainly a possibility) Imagine if another team had been looking at him back then?
College Free Agents: After the first two rounds of the Frozen Four, many teams were elimanted from contention, ending their season. Thus, a small frenzy of activity took place last week. Two of the big names that have chosen homes are; Forward JT Brown from the University of Minnesota-Duluth signed with the Tampa Bay Lightning and forward Spencer Abbott from the University of Maine signed with the Toronto Maple Leafs. If you are interested in seeing which college players are signing pro contracts and which teams they are going to, check out this link at CollegeHockeyInc.com.
CHL/NCAA Player Update: The highly talented Sarnia Sting was knowcked out of the OHL playoffs, losing their opening round series four games to two to the Saginaw Spirit. This means Reid Boucher's first professional hockey season comes to a close. Boucher ended the year with 28 goals in 67 games and will head back to Sarnia again next season.
After dropping the first two games of the series, the Plymouth Whalers, led behind Scott Wedgewood won four straight games to defeat the Guelph Storm. Wedgewood ended the series with a .929 save percentage after struggling in the first two games in the series. Plymouth now faces the Kitchener Rangers in the second round. Last year Plymouth upset Kitchener largely because of Wedgewood so I am sure they are looking to return the favor this year.
Seth Helgeson's Minnesota Golden Gophers had a bye last week as they prepare for Thursday night's Frozen Four matchup against Boston College. The game is scheduled to start at 8pm and right now it looks like it will be on ESPN2.
Albany Is Hanging On For A Playoff Spot....Barely: After a week where they went 2-1, Albany finds itself in 12th place in the Eastern Conference. Being five points out with six games to go is a tough task, and jumping four teams to make it happen makes that task nearly impossible.
Check out the 'Playoff Primer' page on the AHL website for more information.
That's it for this week; please leave any prospect related questions or comments below. Thanks for reading and sound off below!

0:00 We're finally ready to insert some outside content into LayOut.
0:05 But before we add our model, let's take a minute and do quick overview of working with pages as we'll be adding, editing and duplicating pages in the next few lessons.
0:15 We already know we can add pages and navigate through them using the toolbar.
0:20 But now we're going to look at the 'Pages' settings window itself.
0:24 If it's not showing already, open and expand the 'Pages' window.
0:29 We can view our pages as either a list with names or thumbnails.
0:34 Let's keep it on a list for now as we're going to continue to add names to help us keep everything organized.
0:40 Let's look briefly at how to change the page order.
0:43 We can do this by dragging and dropping or right-clicking and selecting move up or down.
0:49 We can also choose which pages to show in presentations.
0:53 If the little computer screen icon is deselected than when you're ready to present your LayOut document, those pages won't show.
1:01 Lastly, we can duplicate pages – which is handy, seeing as once we add our model, we can easily duplicate a page to save from having to re-insert the model a second time.


In a large mixing bowl, add the grated carrot, chopped walnuts, sultanas, sea salt, baking powder and brown rice flour and mix till combined.
In a separate mixing bowl, beat the eggs then add the vanilla powder or bean paste and mix into the dry mixture until thoroughly combined. Then pipe into your 12-hole donut tray ¾ of the way up. Bake in a pre-heated oven on the middle shelf for 20 minutes.
To make the cream cheese frosting, in a mixing bowl add the cream cheese together with the custard powder, agave nectar and lemon juice. Beat until smooth. Place into a piping bag and leave to chill in the fridge.
Remove the carrot cake donuts from the oven after 20 minutes. After 5 minutes carefully insert a sharp knife around the edge to release the donuts. Leave on a wire rack until cooled.
When the donuts have cooled, pipe the cream cheese frosting on top and sprinkle with a touch of cinnamon powder and chopped walnuts.
LISA'S TIP – If you want to keep this dairy free, you can use dairy free cream cheese.


Skip ahead to the end.
Please do not misunderstand; I am not so naive as to imagine results are not important – certainly results are very important – but the journey cannot be dismissed, and that is where intention lies.
Intention absolutely requires decision making – you may not accept any substitutes because there are no substitutes. Your intentions are created by your decisions, and you are responsible for them. NOTE: I am well-aware "not choosing is a choice" but here's the newsflash on that: that is the decision, that is the intention – you absolutely intended to let someone else make the decision so you would not have to – and you are STILL responsible.
Once you have made decisions, and set intentions, you must plot your course to manifestation – this is not capricious – and despite its importance, you should endeavor to enjoy every step along the way. Your journey is too important to follow blindly to its conclusion, and what you learn along the way will be invaluable.
HAVE AN ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE!!!
No matter how difficult the path you trod may be at any given time, you must be grateful for every step you are fortunate enough to take. When you win, say thank you. When you do not win, learn from the challenge and be thankful for the lesson. Recognize The Universe is always listening; the more gratitude you express, the more reasons to be grateful you will find you have.
We are on the backside of the Summer Season; the astro-weather continues to be strong, and we are headed into August anticipating both a lunar and solar eclipse – we may often feel completely super-charged or utterly at sea – TAKE HEART! There is nothing happening you cannot handle, either by direct action or laying low, because as always, you are stronger than you think. This is your time to shine. Be wild, be brave, be crazy, be happy, be safe, be well – and enjoy the weekend!!

Would QE3 Benefit Tiny Tim?
A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens is one of the most famous novels in modern history. The story takes place in early to mid 1800s England and is about a mean-spirited, miserly old man named Ebenezer Scrooge, and his clerk Bob Cratchit. Cratchit has to beg and plead for a day off on Christmas and he can barely afford a decent Christmas dinner for his family. Mr. Scrooge has a strong distaste for Christmas, often repeating "bah humbug!" to any reference to the holiday.
One night Mr. Scrooge is visited by the ghost of his deceased business partner, who warns him to change his ways. He is subsequently visited by three different ghosts who persuade him to become a better person and to embrace the Christmas spirit.
There is also a famous scene in the book where one of the ghosts introduces Bob Cratchit's youngest son, Tiny Tim, who is seriously ill but cannot receive treatment due to Scrooge's unwillingness to pay Cratchit a decent wage.
Eventually Mr. Scrooge sees the errors of his ways and decides to start treating his employees better.
But the main question is with such blatant poverty, why didn't Victorian-era England use quantitative easing? Would that have helped Tiny Tim and Bob Cratchit?
Although Bob Cratchit apparently did not own any assets, his employer Ebenezer Scrooge is sure to have benefited from the rising value in his real estate and stock holdings.
Would this have trickled down to Tiny Tim?
Nothing benefits the poor and working class more than a stable currency. With a stable currency Bob Cratchit could afford to purchase inexpensive coal to warm his home. Food and clothing prices would be stabilized, and with his meager savings he could earn some decent interest without incurring major risks.
In my opinion, there is nothing more sacrilege and Scrooge-like than devaluing the currency. Debasing the currency directly increases the assets of the wealthy and steals from the poor and working class. It increases the prices of all commodities including heat, electric, oil, gas, student loans, and medical care.
What we are witnessing in the world today is nothing more than a robbery of the poor.
External heat and cold had little influence on Scrooge. No warmth could warm, no wintry weather chill him. No wind that blew was bitterer than he, no falling snow was more intent upon its purpose, no pelting rain less open to entreaty.
I'm sad to say, but I actually graduated from the same high school as Janet Yellen, in Brooklyn.
Of my fifteen good friends that graduated with me in 1997, do you know how many were able to purchase a home in the same neighborhood that we grew up in?
Asset prices have been artificially inflated to the moon.

The drum tower (Gulou)
Photos and description
Gulou (Drum tower) was a mandatory build for each city. No exception was and Luoyang. During the reign of Emperor Zhu-Izzone in the construction of the Palace for the Emperor's brother, the building was built the Drum tower.
The drum tower in the distant past was a two-story building made of wood and tiles, which was thrown across the street Eastern Avenue in old town Luoyang. After the construction of the Drum Tower was installed 25 reels. The main drum represented the entire calendar year, and the remaining 24 - was like 24 periods of the sun - Chi.
All reels have been preserved to our days. The rest were destroyed during the war. "Surviving" the bell stands on a pedestal. It shows you the image of chrysanthemums, the ancient dragon birds Phoenix plum color and also the scheme of trigrams. A four-foot preserved since the war the bell is now silent, but somehow, his skillful casting sincerely never ceases to impress visitors of the city of Luoyang.
In the halls Drum tower organized a small exhibition devoted to the measurement of time in ancient China, and every half hour there are live drums. From the height of the Drum tower offers a magnificent view of the city. And located between the towers, the courtyard acts as a starting point for sightseeing tours by rickshaws.

its always at these moments that i re-evaluate what sort of make-up scheme i should do. and it comes back to the same thing: nothing. i mean, i bought some silver eyeshadow for $2.00. A small indulgence in the world of self-appearance techniques. But in a week, will i still be wearing it? doubtful. but for today, i'll be new woman. Jet black hair, thick lashes, silver lids. and a tad of burts bees honey lip balm. dye has splattered all over my untanned shoulders and in two placed on the blue jeans. i didnt wear gloves, so my middle finger on the left hand looks diseased in a blackish-yellow sort of way. built to spill on the boom box. leaves blowing around outside in the wind. ifrit and KT napping on and in the cat condo, respectively.
im off ot the dayspa today at 2:20. 2 clients so far. not a great day, but i will get to see my Dave afterward.
No books to read on the commute up. I just finished Jonathan ames- Wake Up, Sir!

5th Annual Babypalooza Creates Connection and Resources Despite Pandemic
The 5th annual Babypalooza went virtual this year to prioritize the health and safety of families and children but still provided a fun and engaging opportunity to create connection and provide access to resources. Over 350 people registered for this year's event with the first 100 receiving a new backpack style diaper bag full of resource information and free items from this year's community partners. The online opportunity allowed families from not only the local area but further away to participate and benefit from the day's offerings.
All of the events were accessible on the new Bester Community of Hope app. Parents and caregivers had a wide variety of opportunities to participate including live sessions on topics such as early childhood behaviors, pre-k readiness, and parenting in a pandemic. "This is the first time in months I've been able to talk with other parents about how hard this is. I've gotten some really great ideas", said one mother.
Families were invited to participate in a morning playgroup hosted by the HUB at USMH. The HUB at USMH hosts weekly groups via Zoom for parents with young children highlighting ways parents can foster healthy growth and development while having fun with their little ones. Several families participated including one mother who joined from the neonatal intensive care unit with her infant. Two virtual Parent Cafes were held with one geared specifically towards fathers. Parent Cafes, a program designed by Be Strong Families, are organized gatherings for parents and caregivers to have meaningful conversations with each other about the joys and challenges of raising children. On Saturday, the virtual room was full and the connection was felt by all. BCOH staff and event organizer, Kerry Fair, stated, "Babypalooza is one of our favorite events and it is always wonderful to see the same children year after year watching them grow. This year, we wanted to focus on their health and safety but still bring a quality event that connects parents with resources and supports that are so incredibly needed right now."
Several partners such as the Washington County Free Library, Safe Kids Washington County, and The Children's Doctor recorded short videos on a variety of topics that are available on the Bester Community of Hope YouTube channel. Director, Jen Younker, shared information on perinatal and postnatal mental health touching on the signs and symptoms, how to find support, and how to give support to a parent who may be struggling during pregnancy or after giving birth. A variety of stories being read by authors and local faces were also available on the YouTube channel for families to listen to with their children.
In addition, the Maryland Food Bank delivered 5,890 pounds of fresh produce such as cabbage, carrots, potatoes, and apples that were handed out in a drive thru food give-a-way. Hand sanitizer, manufactured by San Mar Family and Community Services, was given out as well as school supplies and handmade blankets donated by community partners. "This is such a blessing. Thank you so much for doing this!" said one parent who picked up food and other items.
The event ended with a live game show where registered contestants played to win prizes such as a new pack and play, car seat, and book bundles by playing a variety of games. Contestants laughed and had fun answering trivia questions, guessing celebrity babies, and filling in missing nursery song lyrics. "Wow, you guys touch on everything!" was one mother's response to the day's events while another added "I loved everything this year and the live videos were a hit! I can't wait until next year."
Bester Community of Hope is a community initiative of San Mar Family & Community Services, focused on strengthening and improving outcomes for families who live in the South End of Hagerstown, Maryland. This effort is made possible by the significant support and collaboration of the Washington County Department of Social Services, and their focus on prevention and upstream efforts as a way to make a collective impact for families. Strategic neighborhood programs and efforts are made possible by philanthropic support from the Alice Virginia and David W. Fletcher Foundation.

Q: Unable to connect to any servers Cassandra2 Using Datastax 4.8.11 Cassandra 2.1.17 on Ubuntu 14.04
Everything was working fine but suddenly not. cqlsh unable to connect to server.
I am successfully starting dse and datastax-agent and they are running fine, including cassandra.
@ubuntu:~$ cqlsh
    Connection error: ('Unable to connect to any servers', {'192.168.254.143': error(113, "Tried connecting to [('192.168.254.143', 9042)]. Last error: No route to host")})

Tried below but did not help
$ sudo service netwrok-manager restart

I think this has to do with DHCP - my VM IP is changing and does not match the IP in Cassandra config (how to make static IP?). I tried cqlsh providing it new IP : cqlsh 192.168.254.146 9160. I tried both ports 9160 (rpc_port) and 9042 (native_transport_port) both don't work (which one to use?). But the error msg is different now "Connection refused" (instead of no route to host).
Thanks

A: In your cassandra.yaml file in the places where you specify the ip address:
'listen_address', rpc_address' and 'seeds' you do not have to specify the port.
Just enter the ip address.
Also make sure all the ports required by cassandra are open
Run the following command on terminal
iptables -I INPUT 1 -p tcp --dport 9042 -j ACCEPT

do this for the following ports: 9042,7000,7001,7199,9042,9160

Did You See This?
Joe Dante's Favorites, the Badalamenti Sound, Equality in Hollywood
Short Takes — Sep 16, 2016
Over at The Quietus, director Joe Dante selects his thirteen favorite films, including David Lynch's Mulholland Dr., Preston Sturges's Sullivan's Travels, and Ernst Lubitsch's To Be or Not to Be.
Angelo Badalamenti sits down with Vulture to share stories about five songs from David Lynch's Twin Peaks. Recalling the composition of the show's haunting and evocative main theme, Badalamenti says, "Three opening notes, that's all it took. That little motif just had that magic and we lucked on that sound. I was getting letters from all kinds of musicians and top guys in the business, asking, 'What is that?' We never really disclosed it."
Roman Polanski and Olivier Assayas will collaborate on an adaptation of Delphine de Vigan's 2008 novel Based on a True Story.
In celebration of the Robert Aldrich retrospective at New York's Metrograph theater, the Village Voice's Melissa Anderson writes on the iconoclastic director: "If any one quality unites Aldrich's variegated oeuvre, it is fury, which abounds not only in his action pictures and revisionist westerns (like Ulzana's Raid from 1972) but also his weepies (or, in the case of Sister George, screechies), noirs (whether apocalyptic or reconstructed), and barbed portraits of stardom."
With several films by and about African Americans set to be released this fall, the New York Times's Manohla Dargis and A. O. Scott discuss the current state of racial inclusion in Hollywood. "Early in their history, the movies were greeted as the great equalizer, a democratic ideal in beautiful celluloid, a mass medium for the masses," writes Dargis. "That's a reassuring fantasy, because, as anyone who watches an old Hollywood movie knows, most movies didn't speak to everyone equally. They still don't, despite occasional efforts to change."
Spike Lee's debut feature, She's Gotta Have It, is being made into a ten-part Netflix series, which Lee himself will direct.
A series of videos made in conjunction with this year's Toronto International Film Festival features Mia Hansen-Love describing one of her favorite films, Eric Rohmer's The Green Ray, and Agnès Varda (below) discussing women in film.

And so the season ends... - The Invincible M.A.E.
I keep trying to write my end of season post, but I spent all day at a convention yesterday and then I was too tired to write anything.
I'm really glad I was at Game 6 (with tattermuffin, yay!) because I got to see them one last time, and we got to cheer them one last time. I think the boys were kind of dazed, but some of them did raise their sticks and I saw Ehrhoff give his away to somebody. I got kind of teary when we were doing that, but in kind of a happy way, because it was sort of remembering/feeling the whole season all at once.
I've actually been pretty happy/optimistic since my 10 episode Veronica Mars marathon on Thursday. :P Only one team out of thirty gets to win the Cup every year, and we had a good shot this year. Like, I know the whole point every season is to win the Cup, but I guess I have more of an "appreciate the journey" approach to the whole thing.
To watch the Sharks completely on in games this season was nothing short of amazing. However, as Kelly Hrudey remarked earlier this season, the Sharks are either the best team in the league or the worst team in the league. Inconsistency was a theme over the course of the season, and I think something that's just part of the territory when you have a very young team. Could they have won the series? Certainly. But that's hockey, and just sports in general. Just because you can beat a team doesn't mean that you will.
I think that ultimately what I'm most mad about this playoffs is that Cheech was taken out in Game 1, and yet again didn't get the chance to play at his full capacity for the second year in a row. Boo.
Anyway, should be a good conference finals and SCF coming up! Despite the presence of Pronger and Selanne, I'm throwing in my support for the Ducks for the rest of the playoffs. I still have a soft spot for the team from 2003, and I still love Giguere the Hissy Fit Thrower, and Andy McDonald the Intrepid Turkey Vaccinator.
FEAR NOT!!! WHILE ONE SET OF GREAT WESTERN CANADIAN EYEBROWS HAS TRAGICALLY FALLEN, ANOTHER SHALL RISE AND REPRESENT!!!! ALL WILL BE RIGHTED, MAE!!


A short well written romance with nice storyline and plot. I would have liked it to be longer to get the depth of the story and characters more developed. It has potential be more. An instant love and attraction romance between the lumberjack and the citygirl. Absolutely great chemistry and passion between them. It is steamy and enjoyable to read. A fast paced story that has potential to be more but it is captivating and a quick read.

Why Iron is Important
Iron Deficiency's Negative Impact on Child Learning
Posted by Pharmics on 18th Jan 2023
There are several ways that a lack of iron in the bloodstream can impact people negatively, and children are no exception to this reality. One particular area where increasing research is showing that negative outcomes can take place: The realm of iron deficiency and iron deficiency anemia, which can impact kids along with adults.
At Pharmics Inc., we're proud to offer quality iron supplements that assist to overcome iron deficiency in numerous individuals, including many children. What has recent research shown about the impact of low iron levels on child education and test scores, and how can parents ensure their children have the ideal levels of iron to avoid these risks? Here's a simple primer.
Recent research was performed by a group at the Rochester School of Medicine in New York, aiming to determine whether kids with iron deficiency had lower test scores and learning results than those with proper iron levels. The study examined over 5,000 children ages 6-16, 3% of whom were known to be iron deficient at the time of the study.
The results of the study were notable: Kids with iron deficiency, whether or not it included anemia, were over twice as likely to have below-average math test scores than children with normal iron levels. And while study organizers cautioned that this data shows association, and not necessarily cause and effect, the implication is clear: Iron levels may play a role in learning and academic success.
Role of Diet in Acceptable Iron Levels
For parents, one of the simplest and most important steps to take is ensuring that their children have access to a diet that meets the recommended daily allowance of iron. This means eating foods high in iron, including red meats, fish, legumes and fortified cereal. Low-acid juices also help to facilitate absorption of iron from other sources in the diet.
In addition, vitamin C should be part of a healthy diet for children. Recent data shows that vitamin C can help promote better absorption of iron from many sources, further increasing the chances that kids can hit their recommended daily allowance over the course of any given day.
Iron Supplementation
For some children, however, even with careful attention to dietary intake and monitoring of Iron-rich foods, Iron supplementation may be necessary to hit the recommended daily allowance of iron. Here at Pharmics Inc., we offer a variety of child-friendly and doctor approved iron supplements, helping kids who are dealing with even severe levels of deficiency to get the iron they need for optimal health and mental performance.
By being aware of the potential risks associated with iron deficiency, and taking the necessary steps to ensure their kids are getting the proper iron levels they need, parents can help give their children a healthy start in life.
For more information about iron supplementation and its role in child health and cognitive performance, please contact us at Pharmics Inc. We're proud to assist with questions you may have about our products or how they'll benefit you or your children.
Check with your physician before taking an iron supplement or giving an iron supplement to an infant or any child.
*WARNING: Accidental overdose of iron containing products is a leading cause of fatal poisoning in children under 6. Keep iron containing products out of the reach of children. In case of accidental overdose, call a doctor or poison control center immediately.

Danny is from a small Midwestern town. He's very out going and enthusiastic and he's always eager to make new friends and is constantly trying to get his friends involved in physical activities. His favourite physical activity is baseball and if no one wants to play he is always ready and willing to make up a new game to play.
Roy is from the big city. He's a poet and he knows it, he likes to rhyme all the time and puts his talent to good use by writing original songs for The Space Coasters. When Roy gets in one of his creative moods he won't let anyone or anything disturb him until he's finished composing his latest song. Roy likes to encourage his friends to exercise their creativity, but Roy's favourite thing to do is to show his friends movies and cartoons on his pocket TV.

Today we meet the ever fun and rambunctious Jacob.
Lord Somers Camp and Power House > Meet a Member > Today we meet the ever fun and rambunctious Jacob.
Jacob was a Dark Blue grouper in 2011 and counts himself lucky to have been originally nominated at all for the program – "my Senior School Co-ordinator didn't know anything about the organisation and could have very easily ignored it as it crossed his desk or picked someone else." The Big Camp experience must have left a good impression as Jacob has not been able to stay away since. He has attended all the community camps and was even on the committee for both Mirabel and VSK. He has also been a valued member of the MAX team the past few years and is currently filling the role of Executive Officer at the upcoming ATLAS camp this September.
Though known for his quirky charisma and disposition for clowning around whilst at camp, Jacob is a hard worker when the pressure is on. A little-known titbit about Jacob is he was a ball kid at the Australian Open for a few years in his youth, sharing the court with many of the Tennis world's greats including Federer, Nadal, Djokovic, Murry, Williams, Sharapova….list goes on!
In the real world, Jacob holds a degree in Aerospace engineering and works at an aviation maintenance company where he works on Air Force fighter jet parts.

The album comprises tracks recorded in two sessions for the BBC Radio 1 Sound of the 70s programme. The first four tracks were recorded on 5 February 1973; the rest were recorded on 3 December 1973.
All but one track appeared on the album Queen; the exception is "Ogre Battle" which appeared on Queen II. However, the versions featured on At the Beeb are different from the original versions, being closer to the songs as performed live. This is most notable on "Ogre Battle", as it starts right away with its riff (without any long intro), does not have any effects that the version on Queen II has and sounds much less polished. The BBC version of "Ogre Battle" did originally have a long intro featuring a grand guitar build up. It was not used for this release, allegedly because the original tape was damaged.

Housing history
The University of Georgia has housed students on campus since 1806. The first building on campus, Old College, which was modeled after Connecticut Hall at Yale University, served as a residence hall and classroom area for UGA's very first students. This was 21 years after the University of Georgia was founded.
Josiah Meigs, UGA's first president, was quoted as saying that there were no finer accommodations for students in the land than at the University of Georgia (Augusta Chronicle). We hold ourselves to the expectations of our campus founding fathers to this day.
The University of Georgia is Founded
The University of Georgia is founded in 1785 as the United States' first state-chartered university.

Lumpkin House
The descendants of Gov. Lumpkin donated to UGA a sizable portion of land south of the ravine in which Sanford Stadium now sits. Among the conditions of the donation was the provision that the Lumpkin House—used as a men's dormitory until 1932—remain intact at its current location in perpetuity. Any attempt to remove or demolish the house will result in a large section of today's South Campus being returned to the heirs of the Lumpkin family.

Where the Cleantech Companies Are
By Jonathan Rothwell and Mark Muro
We've been working on a database of "clean economy" companies and jobs, meaning those involved in producing goods and services that improve the environment. (Look for that in a few months). As always, though, we are preoccupied with the spatial distribution of these firms and their workforce: where and how they cluster. Which is why we were delighted to see that the Guardian newspaper and its partner the Cleantech Group seem to share the same interest as we discovered when we came across their interesting Global Cleantech 100 list.
To compile the list, the Guardian and Cleantech Group asked hundreds of experts from around the world to name the 100 companies likely to make the largest impact on the market in the next decade. In doing so, researchers limited their list to independent, for-profit cleantech companies that aren't listed on a major stock exchange.
What did they find when the nominations came in? First, their list of future-leaning companies yielded up an intriguing census of the exotic segments and niches that look ready to create the next low-carbon economy: concentrated solar systems, smart grid applications, cellulosic ethanol production, synthetic genomics, algae biodiesel, carbon-negative cement.
But beyond that, the list also revealed that the next generation of hot cleantech firms is highly concentrated in California and a few other areas. Check out the U.S. portion of the Guardian's dot map:
That's pretty cool, huh? Of the 58 U.S. based companies listed on the Cleantech 100 list, almost all of them are headquartered in large metropolitan areas. Moreover, the metro orientation is hyper-concentrated in very specific places. Just four metropolitan areas—San Francisco, San Jose, Boston, and Los Angeles, in that order—are home two-thirds of these companies: 39 of the 58. New York, San Diego, and Chicago are the only other metros with more than two firms. It just goes to show the power of place. Innovative firms—in cleantech especially—really do seem to cluster together.
In our next post, we'll share some thoughts on what explains this concentration.
The Avenue, Metro Policy, the Guardian, Cleantech Group


Its going to be a cover for a box of tissues, and it will live in our living room :) We are decorating the room purple and cream and I had the perfect colours in my stash! I love the granny stitch and I'm finding making this very relaxing <3 I think I will make one to match our bedroom next! Pictures of it completed will probably have to be posted when I get my internet back!
I'm going to make this a regular feature! The theme for this one is LOVE!
I want all of these items! Which is your favourite?
This is what I'm in the middle of making right now!
Its going to be a headband :) I think it's so pretty! The pattern can be found here. I have made a couple of changes, one to the main headband and then I made one of the flowers smaller. It was quite a confusing pattern to follow but used very simple techniques so I managed to decipher it in the end!
All I've got left to do is sew it all together so look out for the finished post in a few days!
It's to celebrate having so many followers! Originally it was going to be celebrating 50 followers, but I have 82 now, which is so exciting!
First, you get 5 small skeins of different kinds of yarns from KnitPicks. Personally I like all of them, but the reason I'm sharing these with you is because they are all easy care, and hopefully you've never tried them before and can use something new!

Both front- and all-wheel drive available
Three solid powertrains
Standard advanced safety features
Logical infotainment
Gets pricey quickly
T5, T6 engines can be thirsty
Premium fuel only
Buying tip
To keep the price in check, stick with either the Momentum or R-Design powered by either the T5 or T6; both are well-equipped and plenty luxurious, and they won't break the bank the way an Inscription with a T8 can. Oh, and get the air suspension - it's cosseting ride is impressively serene even over the worst pavement.
See Full 2020 Volvo XC60 Specs »
The 2020 Volvo XC60 delivers all the feel and substance of a luxury car, without any ostentatious attitude.
Since its divorce from Ford, Volvo has revamped its line of vehicles, with a heavy emphasis on SUVs. The 2020 Volvo XC60, now two years out from its introduction, hits a sweet spot for luxury crossovers in price, performance, and prowess.
Last year, a new front-wheel-drive model joined the ranks for buyers lucky enough not to need the all-weather capability of all-wheel drive. This year, the new model is a bit more exciting: the Polestar Engineered XC60 is priced more than $20,000 over the top-shelf Inscription trim, but comes nearly fully loaded with 415 battery-aided horsepower.
Also new: a standard digital gauge cluster across the board, a bigger battery for plug-in hybrids, and refined safety equipment.
Review continues below
With the 2020 XC60, Volvo shows off a breadth of performance and convincing luxury trappings. We rate it a 7.3 out of 10. (Read more about how we rate cars.)
What's most notable about the XC60 is a sense of occasion. It's a crossover that is sharply dressed, well-built, calm in its demeanor. There's no garishness, no loudmouthed styling.
The XC60 doesn't deviate from the family dress code. Its styling is familiar to anyone who has seen a XC90, including the signature headlights up front and the vertical taillights out back. It's a clean look, and one that's now clearly Volvo.
Three powertrains are available on the XC60. Base models get what Volvo calls the T5, which is a 2.0-liter turbo-4 that makes a healthy 250 horsepower. It's available with either front- or all-wheel drive and mates to an 8-speed automatic.
If that's not quite enough go juice, the T6 setup takes the turbo 2.0-liter and adds a supercharger; the result is 316 horsepower and brisk acceleration, exclusively paired with all-wheel drive and the 8-speed automatic.
Volvo's most powerful and efficient powertrain is also on tap. This one is known as the T8 and pumps out 400 horsepower and 495 pound-feet of torque via a hybrid gas-electric setup that marries an 87-horsepower electric motor to the T6 4-cylinder. There's also an 11.6-kwh battery to provide the necessary electrons. The result of all this wizardry is both fast and economical: there's up to 17 miles of electric-only range and a total of 400 horsepower to play with. It's not cheap, though.
Whatever engine you get, the 2020 Volvo XC60 rides and drives with the same sense of refinement that's suggested by the styling and interior. And it'll only be improved if you opt for the optional air suspension.
Volvo offers the 2020 XC60 in three trims: Momentum, R-Design, and Inscription. The base Momentum includes leather upholstery, power-adjusting seats, a power liftgate, and a 9.0-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The latest driver-assist safety features are also standard; this includes automatic emergency braking and lane-departure warnings.
From all angles, the XC60 is handsome and debonair, a luxury car without the usual snobbishness.
We've been smitten with Volvo's styling direction for some time now. It's elegant, tasteful, impressive without being overbearing. Garnering two points for its sumptuous interior and another point for its pleasing exterior, the XC60 gets an 8 out of 10 for style.
The interior impresses us most. Everywhere you look and touch the materials are of high quality; there's no swaths of black plastic here. It is spa-like in its serenity. Though it doesn't have the emphasis on technology that the Q5 has, it still puts a vertically-oriented 9.0-inch touchscreen front and center. We found it easy to use, especially compared to some frustrating systems.
The body sits upright yet rounded. It looks bigger than it is, especially with that tall grille up front and the vertical lights out back. Its tidy dimensions means there's no mistaking it for the big-boy XC90, though.
Four potent and robust powertrains give the Volvo XC60 a thoroughly diversified personality.
With three powertrains on hand to choose from, the Volvo XC60 leaves no driver wanting more. We give it a 7 for performance for its drivetrain and its composed ride.
All three options begin with the same 2.0-liter turbo-4 . The T5 doesn't add anything else to that formula, while the T6 adds a supercharger. The T8 adds to the T6 setup an electric motor and an 11.6-kwh battery. All three come paired with an 8-speed automatic.
We haven't driven the T5, so we can't speak as to whether its 250 horsepower is enough to adequately motivate the two-ton XC60. But because it's the cheapest powertrain—and the only one available with front-drive—we imagine it will prove to be the more popular of the three engines here.
The T6 musters 316 horsepower and is the one we've driven the most. Thanks to the unique use of both a turbocharger and a supercharger, we found power comes on early and sticks around. Driven rationally this is a quiet and effortless motor, disappearing into the background and never calling attention to itself. There's enough horsepower here to overcome the Volvo's heft; the T6 doesn't feel as burdened as it does in the heavier XC90.
The T8 is Volvo's performance hybrid. With its 11.6-kwh battery and 87-hp electric motor, it will run for 17 miles on pure electric power; from there the battery and electric motor together augment the gas engine for up to 59 MPGe combined. Its 400 horsepower and 472 lb-ft of torque makes it the quickest powertrain in the XC60 stable.
An air suspension is available on all but the base trim. It can raise or lower the car based on the situation, and offers three different drive modes to select from. Of the three—Eco, Comfort, Dynamic—Comfort matches with the XC60's demeanor the best, bringing a sweet tune to damping, steering, and throttle adjustments.
For the rare occasions that the Volvo scrambles up a mountainside, the off-road mode slightly increases ground clearance, engages hill-descent control, slows throttle and steering responses to better stalk through off-road passages.
The normal T8 is a surprising performer in itself, but a new Polestar Engineered version promises downright high performance. It's only a mild boost in power, just 15 extra horses, for a total of 415 hp. Revised engine mapping and other software upgrades mean this version will accelerate to 60 mph in about five seconds. The Polestar edition also gets 22-way adjustable shocks and bigger brakes, as well as 21-inch wheels stuffed in under wider wheel arches (with 22s available). It's a high-performance vehicle, from an unlikely source, in an unlikely body style—and it's exceedingly rare.
Comfort & Quality
The XC60 earns high marks for its unwavering attention to detail and all-day comfort.
The Volvo XC60 is a jack of all trades, but it is particularly adept at hauling passengers and cargo in supreme comfort. For its high quality materials and spaciousness for both people and things, we give it a 9 out of 10.
The XC60 can carry up to five people, as there's no third row—which is nothing to complain about in a car this size. Due to the upright style, there's plenty of head room for everyone, both front and back.
Front seats are incredibly comfortable, with good bolstering that isn't excessive and just the right amount of cushion for sinking into. On higher trims, seats can be both heated and cooled; these optional chairs can massage as well. A lower center console gives an impression of roominess and makes for a nice place to rest your elbow. The lack of knobs and buttons give the cabin an uncluttered look.
The back seat isn't a penalty box for those who didn't call shotgun in time. Four-zone climate control is on the options sheet and gives all outboard passengers control of their microclimate; heated seats are also available for the rear outboard positions.
Behind the second row the XC60 offers up about 30 cubic feet of cargo space. Fold it down and 50 cubic feet is available.
Plenty of little details throughout the interior speak to Volvo's push upmarket, including premium audio, soft-touch materials, and even a crystal-capped gearshift.
Impressive IIHS crash scores and a full roster of active-safety features make the XC60 a reassuringly safe crossover.
Volvo believes safety is its prime directive, and it shows in the XC60. Based on both standard safety equipment as well as crash-test scores, we award the XC60 three points, for a total of 8 out of 10. (Read more about how we rate cars.)
First, crash-test scores: the IIHS gave the XC60 a 'Good' rating—their top mark—for all the categories they test for. The NHTSA has not yet done their testing.
Active-safety features that come standard on the XC60 include automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warnings, and roadside recognition. Optional features include Pilot Assist, an adaptive cruise control system that can steer the car autonomously for short durations on well-marked highways, keep within its lane, and maintain a set following distance. Blind-spot monitors are also optional, as are parking sensors and a surround-view camera system.
Though the pillars are thick, the formal, upright profile that defines the XC60's silhouette provides for great sightlines all the way around. Both passengers and the driver have excellent outward visibility.

The well-equipped XC60 will impress even the most discerning luxury customers.
Like any good luxury car, the Volvo XC60 comes well-equipped and offers plenty of indulgences to further up the ante. For all this we give it an 8 out of 10.
Base models, known as Momentum, start at $41,790 after destination and are generously well equipped. Standard features include leather upholstery, Bluetooth, keyless ignition, a power liftgate, rear parking sensors, a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster, and 18-inch wheels.
R-Design is the middle child and adds 19-inch wheels, glossy black trim for a more sporting touch, and nappa leather seats with front thigh extenders. Navigation becomes standard. Stiffer springs and sport-tuned chassis mean the R-Design can back up its sporty demeanor. An R-Design costs $48,490.
Inscriptions are the high-zoot models. They add driftwood trim, four-zone climate control, chrome touches for a luxury look, and signature LED lighting. You'll pay at least $48,490 for one of these.
The new Polestar Engineered models are by far the priciest—but also the fastest. With their power boost and re-tuned computers, five-second sprints to sixty are the norm for this flavor of XC60. Besides the powertrain, there's also 21-inch wheels, Bowers and Wilkins audio, and a head-up display. Expect to shell out $70,495 for one.
The infotainment on all trims is handled by a standard 9.0-inch touchscreen with smartphone compatibility. We're happy this is standard; it's a great system, perhaps one of the best in the market. Logical and intuitive, we hope other automakers are taking a hard look at this software.
Opting for one of the optional engines will run up the bill quickly. The T6 is a roughly $3,400 upgrade; the T8, an eye-watering $14,000.
A penchant for premium is one of the only drawbacks of Volvo's otherwise impressive crossover.
Despite the hybridized T8, fuel economy isn't one of the top reasons to buy an XC60; some of this can be blamed on that two-ton-plus curb weight. We give the XC60 a 4 out of 10 on our scale.
Front-drive models with the T5 are rated at 22 mpg city, 29 highway, 24 combined. It's the best out of the XC60's gas engines but still nothing too great relative to the class. With all-wheel drive these numbers fall to 20/27/23 mpg. A T6 is rated at 19/27/22 mpg.
T8-equipped models are better, but steep prices conspire to keep them out of reach for most buyers. With a full battery, 17 miles of range is possible and garners a 58-MPGe rating; when working alongside the gas engine, fuel economy is 26 mpg combined. Premium fuel is required for all engines.

Q: Get img thumbnails from Yahoo! Screen Video Player (not older webplayer) I am trying to get yahoo! screen video's image thumbs to embed on my website like we can easily do in other websites ( Get img thumbnails from Vimeo?, How do I get a YouTube video thumbnail from the YouTube API?, etc.).
There used to be a sugestion: Get thumbnail image for Yahoo video? (python) but it doesn't seem to work now with the new Yahoo! Screen.
Some quick searching on the Internets led me to Y!'s very own online help: http://help.yahoo.com/l/in/yahoo/video/using/using005.html;_ylt=Aj3rNfbhKBNyXODHGK5ONSo1qXtG
According to which, all I have to do is Copy the thumbnail code under the Share tab. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find any thumbnail code under the Share tab.
I also couldn't find any Y!Screen api on http://developer.yahoo.com/everything.html that could help me with this... ideas?

A: Using YQL for cross domain data scraping along with jQuery is the solution that works.
Some of it is sound, some of it is hackish, but that's what scraping is all about I suppose.
The basis for this method was not done by me, but by using a tutorial for Facebook titled
Create a Facebook-style Link Preview Using jQuery & YQL written by Jocelyn Stretton.
Included in the modified JavaScript which serves as a starting point, you will have access and understand how to retrieve the following:
1. Yahoo! Screen Video Webpage Title
2. Yahoo! Screen Thumbnail URL Link
3. Yahoo! Screen Video URL Link
4. Scrape Other meta Tag Content
5. Yahoo Screen Video Embed Code provided by the Yahoo Screen Player itself.
