Born in Los Angeles, Ken Salter has been at the frontier of entertainment technology and art for over 25 years. With engineering degrees from UC Berkeley and UCLA, Ken worked for Disney Imagineering developing new technologies for theme park rides. He has numerous patents on ride and entertainment technology. He co-owns a company which manufactures large sculptures, using digital techniques, for some of the world's most successful artists. His interest in fractals and emergence originated in 2000 after reading several books on chaos and complexity science.
Ken was diagnosed with Parkinsons Disease in 2008 at the age of 46. One of the benefits of this disease is that changes in brain chemistry enhance creativity and awaken artistic abilities (see article). Accordingly, Ken showed his first piece, "Chaotic Fractal Generator" at San Francisco's Exploratorium in 2013.
Ken views reality from a systems perspective and is skeptical of faith. The concept of emergence reinforces his worldview that intricate systems that appear to be designed need no creator. He is particularly interested in the nature of consciousness as an emergent phenomenon.

Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service and West Mercia police are concerned over the growing number of arson attacks on empty commercial buildings.
Derek Taylor the arson reduction officer said "Since 27th October 2011 there have been four Arson attacks on empty commercial properties in the Oakengates, St Georges, Donnington and Dawley areas of Telford".
West Mercia Police and Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service are offering advice on how to prevent empty properties becoming targets of arson and theft.
"Owners of these types of properties are requested to reduce the risk to their buildings and land from being used for antisocial behaviour/crime and illegal fly tipping by following a few simple rules" said Derek.
Continue to maintain the building and perimeter fences - it is obvious that if you don't care about your building, then why should someone else?
If anyone has any information about these crimes they are asked to contact West Mercia Police on 101 (the new non-emergency number) or Crime Stoppers on 0800 555 111.

At least 150 Tiger IIs were present, nearly a third of total production, and most were lost during the course of the offensive.


Hee, hee. Very cute, but what if the lakers draft him? then you have to change again.
Could he be the best prospect ever?
i would not go that far. imho he is the best 17yo player i can remember in the last 20y in europe.
Can you imagine if the Celtics got the next truly great player with any one of these Nets picks?
I might just lose it.
He pretty much writes that Steph Curry is MVP because he is extraordinarily skilled despite not being athletic thus skill is as valuable as athleticism. Doncic is obviously really really skilled, but the difference between Doncic's blanket high level skill and Stephs high level skill is that Steph had a single transcendent skill, shooting. He is the greatest to ever do it. He then developed a truly elite skill in his ball-handling.
Doncic seems really well rounded and can develop many elite skill akin to Stephs handle. He is also a good athlete. Problem is, in order to be the best ever, you need to be able to do something better than anyone else can.
Lebron is the greatest athlete in the NBA combined with an elite BBIQ.
Steve Nash was the best passer in the league combined with elite shooting.
Dirk was the best shooting big man ever.
so what can Doncic do that no one can stop him from doing. He seems like he will be able to be very good in [dang] near every area, but where is his superlative skill? what can he do that he will be unstoppable in doing?
Doncic will be very good in the superlative, he will be unstoppable in being very good.
Seriously now, you make some good points about the article. I also did not like that the author did not define precisely what he means by 'prospect' and 'best prospect' (btw, he defined 'ever' as the last 30 years). Sloppy argumentation.
I really like this kid. I've posted about him before. Here is a link to him playing against OKC this past October.
Say what you will about Euro league talent, but he's playing real NBA players in this clip. Sure it's not his best game but you can see the skills and it's 2 years before he will be able to play in the nba. He can make an active roster now and given two years of development and conditioning he will be ready top play real minutes from day one. He's going to be really good player but if he has a grownth spurt he'll be a monster.
doncic is 17 years old. let's wait and see.
I think the top 3 of the draft will be very interesting. There is a case to be made that he could be the top pick. I have him 2 or 3rd depending on his athletic ability and Michael Porter Jr. not wanting to bend his knees on D. I flip flop on these two depending on the day it seems. I think both are behind and engaged Ayton. Ayton offers much more engaged than either prospect.
Anyways, will be looking to watch this kid more over the coming year.
This time he clinched the game in Kazan, Russia with a step-through layup.
He finished with 5 points, 7 rebounds, 11 assists. 11 assist here in Europe mean something like 15 assists in NBA.
By the way I'm neither Real Madrid fan nor Slovenian but it impossible not to be impressed, so I'm here sharing info about him.
11 assists is a ton. European scorers have stricter requirements for assists than NBA scorers. And in only 24 minutes of playing time -- every day I just want Doncic even more.
Yes, another huge game from Doncic. He's owned the game without having to score too much. TP Detour for reporting before. I don't like Real Madrid at all either (being polite in this ), but it is very hard not to be excited about the kid's future.
So ahead of Porzingis in terms of upside at this age.

What do you say taking chances?
Chance is also a name. I think it's sort of an odd name.
Hmm. That could be offensive….
We had one chance, one try before it was done for good. She pulled me into her arms and locked the door. The pounding on the other side was ignored.
"Stay with me." She whispered.
It's much easier to give chances to find them. They work like a strange, karma-based currency. A 'fair chance', a 'fat chance' – all sorts of chances to be given and to be taken.
She shifted from foot to foot, shiver ever so lightly. Her breath came out in shuddering puffs in the cold air and the wind buffeted her clothes and her feathers. Yes, she had wings, but she had never flown before today. With one final breath, she threw herself into space, wings snapping open.
At this point in my life, as I have a few months left of college and a wonderful boyfriend and a lot of potential… I must take chances. That's all there really is to do. Screw finding the perfect fit of where I should live, what I should do, and who I should be. Gotta take those chances and have faith that something amazing with come of them.
This is my chance. I've auditioned for five different plays here before, but that was when I was a freshman and no one knew me. I've gotten more familiar with the department now, not to mention I've declared my major so now they know I'm one of them. I really hope I don't screw this up. Wish me luck.


We spoke Ginny on an early morning in the centre of Amsterdam. This businesswoman knows her way to success and doesn't mind some color in her interior. Read al about what drives this beauty and what makes her happy in life.
I love to wake up feeling inspired and relaxed with no appointments in my agenda and bright, sunny and warm weather.
Where would you ever wish to wake-up?
There's still so much traveling to do in my life. I would love to wake up in a little coastal village in Italy or somewhere in Buenos Aires. Waking up on another planet seems cool too, but maybe literally aiming for the stars isn't going to happen in this lifetime.
What is your favorite interior piece and why?
Definitely my Juno Calypso photo-print with a passe-partout and gold frame. It fits the picture so well, I could look at it all day long.
I think the drive to help people to do what they love. I was looking for my purpose for years, since your twenties are a decade of a lot of soul-searching and having no idea what the hell to do with life.
It wasn't so much as an epiphany, but more something I discovered during the years of having Vacature Via Ginny. The need to help people eventually was a very logic result of something I probably unconsciously knew for years.
My friends would describe me as a fun. silly, creative and kind person who's always up for a good time!
What gives you the most energy while working?
Succes stories. People taking the time to tell us they found their dream job through Vacature Via Ginny. That's what it's all about. Being able to participate in a persons happiness is such a fulfilling occupation.
You're now writing a book, how do you experience writing?
Wow, well it definitely is one hell of a rollercoaster! I could never expect it to be this interesting. You go from writing hours and hours one day to having zero inspiration for days.
You'll get frustrated easily, because each writing process is unique and it will most likely not go the way you planned haha. It get's me way outside my comfort zone which makes it an awesome thing to experience.
I learn a lot about writing as well as myself by going through this process.
Your book is about finding your dream job/succes, is there a key to succes in life?
I don't think there is just one key that fits the lock. It's about accepting, knowing what drives you, and overall being happy with what you do.
Succes isn't about expensive watches, a big house or an Instagram account with millions of followers and sponsorships. Succes is being happy with yourself and your life and knowing that nothing is perfect nor it ever will be.
If you would have any other career, what would that be?
It would be in music. I worked in the music business for years before starting Vacature Via Ginny and it's something I really really love.
If New York calls, I'm outta here in a heartbeat!
When the people I love are happy and healthy and when ambitious and fun plans fall into place. And literally every time the sun is shining.


As the next semester starts, parents and teachers will be collaborating for ways to best serve their children and students. The BSCSD does this through five active PTAs and a High School Parent Teacher Student Association (PTSA).
School Board member Jason Fernau says the PTAs/PTSA are signing up members to keep parents an active presence in school affairs.
Relevant forms are available at initial meetings and events, through Facebook and on the district website. Meetings are typically monthly or bi-monthly and provide annual calendars with a schedule.
"We meet pretty regularly depending on what's going on and there's quite a bit going on lately," said Fernau.
Already a "Welcome Back" dinner has been held by the Milton Terrace PTA to encourage membership and engagement, while other chapters have advertised Meet the Teacher nights.
Meetings will be especially important in the weeks ahead as the school does outreach to inform voters about the upcoming referendum on high school and middle school renovations in Ballston Spa, expected to cost $24 million and have a net tax impact on the average home assessed at $235,000 of about $11.60 per year, starting in 2021.
Malta Avenue High School PTSA will meet at 6:30 p.m. Sept. 25.
Milton Terrace PTA meets at 6:30 p.m. Oct. 11.
Wood Road PTA meets at 7 p.m. Oct. 16.
Gordon Creek PTA meets at 3 p.m. Oct 17.
Ballston Spa Middle School PTA meets at 6:30 p.m. Nov. 7.
The wider body of the PTA Council meeting will be held at 6:30 p.m. Oct. 2, where information for the next year's meetings, as well as other events, can be obtained.
Joining is also a good way to keep educated on resources available to parents and guardians, such as an upcoming Financial Aid Information Night scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Sept. 27.

Home > RAE & Resources > Spotlight > HKU Coordinating Two of Five Projects in Latest Round of RGC's Theme-based Research Scheme
HKU is participating in all five projects funded in the seventh round of the prestigious Theme-based Research Scheme (TRS) and coordinating two of these large-scale projects. TRS is a major grant scheme of the Research Grants Council (RGC) that aims to focus academic research efforts on themes of strategic importance to the long-term development of Hong Kong.
A total budget valued at HK$83.3M (including on-costs) for a period of five years was awarded to the following two HKU-led projects under the themes of Promoting Good Health and Advancing Emerging Research and Innovations Important to Hong Kong respectively.
Translational Studies for Elucidating the Tumor Heterogeneity and Molecular Evolution in Metastatic Gastrointestinal Tract Cancers for Personalized Medicine
Project Coordinator: Professor M.L. Lung, Department of Clinical Oncology
Approved funding: HK$33.3M
Cancer is the number one cause of deaths in Hong Kong. Metastatic cancers – those that spread to a different part of the body from where they started – are the most difficult to treat. "Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in the blood can be used as a biomarker to monitor the metastatic cancer," Professor Lung explained. "Advances in CTC technologies now allow us to use patients' blood specimens to monitor treatment effectiveness and investigate the fundamental basis of metastasis and drug resistance development. Since blood-taking is non-invasive compared to surgical biopsies, closer and more frequent monitoring can be achieved, which allows earlier detection of cancer recurrence or spread and provides information needed to determine the best possible treatment to improve the survival and quality of life of patients." The project is expected to assist clinicians in identifying targeted drugs and treatment for gastrointestinal tract cancer patients, as well as to serve as a model for other cancer types.
Project Coordinator Professor Maria Lung
"Our team is a synergistic group of basic scientists, bioengineers, bioinformaticians and clinicians who have a longstanding collaboration in different aspects of esophageal cancer studies," Professor Lung said. "The collaborative and multidisciplinary effort is important in creating a greater impact from this TRS project."
Big Data for Smart and Personalized Air Pollution Monitoring and Health Management
Project Coordinator: Professor V.O.K. Li, Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering
Approved funding: HK$50M
"This project develops big data technologies to enable the generation of smart (real-time and interactive) and personalized air quality information, alerts and advice to improve the health and well-being of individual citizens, creating new business opportunities and a competitive advantage for the IT and healthcare industry in Hong Kong, as well as informing the government on related public policies," Professor Li said.
Project Coordinator Professor Victor Li
The interdisciplinary project team, jointly led by Professor Victor Li and Dr. Jacqueline Lam, consists of local and international experts from eleven disciplines. "The collaboration with our key partner, Cambridge University, under the HKU-Cambridge Clean Energy and Environment Research Platform has been instrumental in the success of this TRS bid," Professor Li said. "This project is the first step in our plan to develop an interdisciplinary research centre based on our engineering-driven, evidence-based and societal-empowering paradigm. We also plan to recruit high calibre research students to take part in this project through the upcoming HKU-Cambridge PhD Pathway. Our interdisciplinary big data framework will be transferrable to other cities aspiring for smart, happy and healthy living. In the next five years, we anticipate producing impactful research results and technologies that greatly benefit Hong Kong and beyond."
Recent results in other competitive funding schemes
Apart from the TRS, HKU has also performed very well in the 2017–18 funding round of the Humanities and Social Sciences Prestigious Fellowship Scheme (HSSPFS). Of the five applications funded, HKU received the largest share, with total funding of HK$1.784M (excluding on-costs) awarded to two projects on early childhood development and learning and urban development in the Pearl River Delta. Since the scheme began in 2012–13, HKU has the highest cumulative number of fellowships and largest funding amount of any UGC-funded institution. In addition, HKU was awarded total funding of HK$138.155M (excluding on-costs) for 198 projects in the 2017–18 General Research Fund (GRF), and HK$16M for 27 approved projects in the Early Career Scheme (ECS).

Eudrillus Eugeniae, more commonly known as the African nightcrawler, originated in tropical areas of West African and have adapted in additional tepid areas all over the globe. It is a cherished composting worm for its worm manure known as worm castings or vermicast which is equal in size and structure to mice dung. This worm casting contrasting to others for the most part when using the correct bedding material can in point of fact be used in a fertilizer or seed spreader to cast out onto ones yard.
The development of plants and their roots has revealed some amazing results due to the biological composition as well as the number of beneficial aerobic microorganisms using castings. Employment of this product has in addition been revealed to make plants, whether flowers, vegetable, shrubs or trees, to be less receptacle to diseases. The exact cause for this is not so far known, however some theorize that it goes to survival of the strongest being vermicast generally speaking churn out much improved plants.
This type is a warm temperate earthworm requiring a least possible temperature of 60 degrees Fahrenheit in order to survive. African nightcrawlers are generally productive at composting in addition to reproduction at a temperature hovering around 78 degrees Fahrenheit nonetheless room temperature of around 70 degrees is sufficient for them. The African nightcrawler can live at temperatures of up to 110 degrees Fahrenheit in the shade as long as there is moving air on top of the surface.
Unlike other worms taking a 30 days for the cocoons, to hatch, the African nightcrawler eggs can emerge in 12 days under the proper environmental setting. The eggs are similar in size and shape of a tomato seed starting out as an olive shade when initially laid, changing to a darker bronze as they mature preceding to hatching.
Under proficient circumstances, an indivdual can count on a median of 3 to 4 nightcrawlers to emerge for every egg capsule while all adolecent nightcrawler laying anywhere from two cocoons a week to a dozen per week depending on the environment in which they are bred.
Being this is a larger earthworm, it does take more time to reach maturity, fundamentally five months. The African nightcrawler obtains a span of six to eight inches in eight months time with some exceeding this length over an additional 30 to 60 days to to a size of up to 10 inches.
African nightcrawlers have turned out to be a favorite for fishermen from spring through fall and specially during the warmer months. Being this worm cannot be chilled or it will die, it survives well in tepid lakes and ponds, outliving the majority of other worms. A further advantage over mainly other worms purchased at bait stores is the reality the others are chilled, hence sending the other worms into shock going from a chilled temperature to the warmer water.
Since African night crawlers will not endure in a chilled environment without deadly injury being done within a few hours, live bait machines and most bait suppliers do not support this earthworm. This leaves the majority of enthusiastic fishermen at a deficit as those that have fished with this earthworm find it a favorite friend.
Contrasting to some other composting worms, this species does not do as well in a worm farm with vegetable leftovers and cardboard. It does exceptionally well as a dung worm and will engulf damp torn newspapers. A further bedding material used for this earthworm is Sphagnum peat moss which is generally available.
If you are raising African night crawlers for fishing, we have found the finest way to beef them up is to apply Purina Worm Chow as both the major feed supply or a supplement. Our findings have also found that the application of this particular worm food has benefited our earthworm reproduction by mounting the cocoon laying ratio for every worm. Environmental conditions also will perform an crucial role on the cocoon laying ratio.
Bruce Galle has been referred to as " Master Wormologist" by Outdoor Life Magazine." He offers valuable information on African Nightcrawlers from his Red Worms For Sale site.

Microsoft E3 Conference Review!
June 11, 2017 Steven Stackhouse gaming One comment
Lets get this out-of-the-way, if you wanted to make a drinking game this would have been the conference to do so. If felt like the words 60 frames per second and 4k (which was the first thing on-screen) were said almost in every sentence. That doesn't take away from how great this conference was! Lets get into what was announced and shown off today.
Coming out the gates swinging, Head of Xbox, Phil Spencer, made it official, the new addition to the Xbox family will be known as Xbox One X. Personally, it sounds a little bit similar to the S model but I digress. Referred to as the most powerful console ever made Xbox One X (XBX) will play in native 4K at a solid 60 FPS, and it will also be the first console to be liquid cooled. After all this was announced it became a tad repetitive, but hearing about how powerful this console is it was very surprising to hear that XBX will be the "smallest Xbox ever!". Now all of this can be yours on November 7th for a measly $499.00 and for most of us that's a bit expensive but you'll be saving money on accessories because all Xbox One accessories will be compatible with the XBX at launch! Not only is it strong, it's also going to be making older games look great including games from the original Xbox! To the delight of the fans the backward compatibility program will now include original Xbox games!
How do you follow-up such a huge announcement? With the statement "Let's see what this monster can do!" Immediately showing off the power of the XBX with a dependent game like Forza. Forza Motorsports 7 was announced alongside a new Porsche model (2018 911 GT2RS), back to the game for me nothing has really changed. Forza has always been a beautiful game, but now the have added small enhancements to the formula; such as, "Dynamic Puddles" that grow when there is rain on the tracks, and more shakiness to car parts such as windshield wipers, intake hoses, etc. Like I said nothing really changes with Forza.
When it comes to looks and graphics this conference was 2nd to none. Everything was shown off on the new XBX so everything looked beautiful, and speaking of beautiful Metro Exodus was announced. It looked amazing! A stunning postapocalyptic world that makes the old metro's look boring, crazy zombie/monster animals just like before, but better looking and more diverse. I can't wait to play the next installment to the Metro series. Metro was followed up quickly by one of my favorite franchises.
Ubisoft took a year off of the Assassins Creed series due to the repetitiveness of the games, which were very buggy and yearly installment made them feel very stale. The worst kept game at E3 was officially announced as Assassins Creed Origins. Just as previous leaks have said it will be set in ancient Egypt and you will play as the first Assassin in the brotherhood. This new AC looks great just like previous installments where the world is diverse and thriving. Very lively NPC's walk the streets and interact to your character. New RPG elements have been added including some sort of leveling system and being able to loot dead enemies for their gear. With a October 27 2017 release date you can be sure I'll be playing this game! Now from such a beloved franchise to a much newer game.
Player Unknown Battlegrounds has hit the PC world by storm. If you guys are familiar with Arma and DayZ you'll get the concept of this game. A battle royal where your thrown into a multiplayer world where everyone wants to kill you. It will now be available exclusively on Xbox late 2017! Similar to this is The Darwin Project is another battle royal game and just like Player Unknown will be Xbox exclusive.
In a world where many people are wanting to play with their friends, but find they don't have the same console. Game companies have tried to accommodate for that problem. Games like Rocket League have become cross-platform from Xbox One to PC and PS4 to PC, but now a new competitor enters this field. A game with one of the largest player bases will now be able to connect all of their players together. Minecraft will be the first of its kind by connecting all of its players together from PS4, Xbox, mobile, PC and everything else! So we look forward to see what other games will be able to actually hit the complete cross-platform capability that Minecraft has! Along with all of this Minecraft will be adding a new HD update playfully named the "Super Duper Graphics Pack" which is essentially a 4K graphics pack! Minecraft just got fun again!
A lot of side scrolling/pixellated games were announced in 2 particular games, were The Last Night and The Artful Escape. The Last Night was much more pixellated and looked to be set in a futuristic Tokyo or other similar large city. While The Last Night seem more set on being a cartoon 3D Side scrolling platformer, and very psychedelic. I personally am not very into these kind of games but if I had to pick one the later would be my choice.
Tons of other games were announced including ones we saw last year. Cuphead, which is a game that feels like your playing in a 1930's cartoon, finally got announced for a September 29, 2017 release. While one of my favorite games from last year's E3 Sea of Thieves, which is a cartoon pirate simulator, is slated for an early 2018 launch. Much more was shown this year including exploring caves, digging up buried treasures, and different kinds of enemies. You can even board enemy ships by launching yourself through a cannon! You can be sure that the Frankenculture group will be made!
With the resurgence of Dragon Ball in America, a new Street Fighter style fighting game named Dragon Ball Fighterz made its world premiere! It looked really fun especially if you're into DB. It looks like the old Marvel vs Capcom games. I'm looking forward to it, and it's also looking at a 2018 launch. A very Super Mario 64 style platformer named Super Luckys Tail also had it's world premiere. You play as a cute fox in a cute and fun 3D world its look playful, fun and very promising!
Tons and tons more games were announce! Life is Strange 2 will be launching its first episode on August 31st, Crackdown 3 will be out November 7th, and another one of my favorite's of the show Middle Earth, Shadow of War will be out October 10th 2017! I'm not usually into Microsoft's conferences, but they did great this year!
Other games from the ID@Xbox program were quickly gone over, but Xbox still shows its huge support of the indie dev groups out there. It's nice to see the little companies out there get noticed from groups that made great games like Hello Neighbor and the funny Conan Exiles to other games and there's a TON!
The last game they showed off was a new IP that was originally shown yesterday at the EA conference. Bioware's Anthem! This game is said to really show off the power of the XBX which I stated before really made every game at the conference look amazing, but this one looks like James Cameron's Avatar meets Destiny. The environments in this game are breath-taking. From an insane lighting storm at the end to amazing god rays swinging through trees. Now I say meets Destiny for a reason and personally it seems very influenced by it. From loot pick ups, different classes, and fire team-esqe groups. I'm very excited to see what other information we're going to be getting on this one!
There is so much that came from this conference and I'm sure there is much more to see! With E3 continuing tonight and the next couple days, we cannot wait to see what's to come next! Tell us what you're thinking so far and what you're most excited for!

3 Questions For PLAYERS Champion Rory McIlroy
Jordan Thomas

With a final-round 70, Rory McIlroy claimed a one-shot victory over Jim Furyk at The PLAYERS Championship.
McIlroy finished his four rounds at TPC Sawgrass on 16-under par to secure his 15th career PGA Tour title. The victory earned the 29-year old native of Holywood, Northern Ireland $2,225,000 and 600 FedExCup points.
Afterwards, McIlroy met with the media in the press room at the TPC Sawgrass Resort. Here are a few pulls from the back and forth.
This week's 3 Questions for the Winner is powered by Taylormade Golf, the brand Rory McIlroy trusted to win the PLAYERS Championship.
THE MEANING OF VICTORY
Going through what you've been through today and over the course of the start of the year, just what does this win mean to you?

RORY MCILROY: Yeah, it means a lot. You know, I knew today was going to be difficult just by looking at the forecast. But the good thing is it wasn't just difficult for me, it was difficult for everyone else.
I thought anything in the 60s today was probably going to get it done for me, and I didn't quite get to that number, but I needed to show a lot of character out there, too, over through 4, double bogeyed 4, hit it in the water, and I think all the experiences I've had over the last few weeks in terms of trying to win and not getting over the line definitely helped me today.
Maybe if I hadn't have had those experiences, I wouldn't be sitting up here with this trophy, so I'm thankful and grateful for those experiences I've had this year. Yes, it would have been nice to maybe get another win, but it sort of made it all worth it, the fact that this win has come at this golf tournament, a tournament where Sawgrass and I didn't have the greatest relationship starting off, and I'm very thankful to the PGA TOUR for putting it back to March. That was very helpful for me. Thank you.
Yeah, I think — I'm just really proud of myself, the way I played the last few holes, especially after bogeying the 14th from the middle of the fairway. The second shot on 15 to set up that birdie putt was the best shot of the day by far. And then how I played the last few holes, I birdied 16, kept telling myself on the way to the 17th tee, just make three more good swings.
That's all you need to do, make a good swing in here, two good swings at the last, and this thing is yours, and to step up and make those three good swings, it's very satisfying knowing that it's in there when it needs to be. Very proud, very honored to be able to call myself a PLAYERS champion, a tournament I haven't won before, so great to obviously add to the CV.
COMPARING CURRENT FORM TO PEAK RORY
This is not the first time in your career that you've had an extended stretch of good play. How would you compare your confidence sitting right here versus perhaps 2012 or 2014 or some of those other high points?

RORY MCILROY: Similar — I don't know if I like the word confidence. I like just I'm comfortable. I'm very comfortable with where everything is. And yes, confidence comes from that, or I don't know what comes first, but I've sort of simplified everything.
I'm working on really one thing in my golf swing. I sort of haven't — I literally — I do some practice around the short game area when I get to tournaments. I've done very little at home, and it's probably the best my short game has ever been.
I'm not saying that I don't practice, but I'm saying that I feel like I've figured out a way to manage my time better and what needs addressed and what doesn't. So yeah, I'm comfortable.
I go back to 2012, yes, I won five times, but I think I missed five cuts that year. 2014, I had the wins — yeah, in terms of just the run of golf, I think this is the best start to a year I've probably made, and I think I'm on a really good path, and I just want to keep going. I think — I guess what I'm trying to say is I'm confident in the path that I'm on.
So yeah, I'm as confident as I ever have been with that.
EYEING THE MASTERS
You're already the betting favorite for the Masters. Do you feel like you might have to do anything different to manage the buildup between now and April?
RORY MCILROY: No, just keep doing the same thing. I feel like I've managed the first six weeks or six tournaments of the year very well, even with some noise around me, whether it is, he can't close, he can't plays on Sundays, blah, blah, blah.
I've just got to do my thing, and if I go and I concentrate on me, control what I can do, good golf and good attitude takes care of the rest. And if I go to Augusta with a similar golf game to what I have now and the attitude I've shown over the first few weeks of the year, I think I'll have a great chance.

The Eight Stages of Eating a Burrito
It's time. You have to sit down for this; its the moment you've been waiting for all day. It came at an unexpected moment, but your mental preparation has made you ready. It has arrived. You look down, slowly peel back the oversized blanket that it came bundled up in, and revel in the overwhelming joy that takes over. It's beautiful. You made this. This is yours – it looks just like you. The soft, glowing, warm exterior, pudgy and soft underneath. You bring it close, smell its freshness, and take a bite. This is your burrito.
Recent, unreleased studies conducted at University of Colorado at Boulder show that there are eight definitive stages in the process of eating a certified Chipotle brand burrito. UC Boulder was chosen as the test site since students at the school consume the most burritos per hours of smoking weed than anywhere in the country, and at any given point 93% of the student body is "totally down for some Chipotle, bro". We at the Punch Bowl have gotten wind of these eight burrito-eating stages, and we've released them here.
The craving stage occurs one to two hours before burrito consumption, and consists of an intense withdrawal from the subject's previous Chipotle experience. It is almost always accompanied by either what subjects call being "totally baked" or equivalently having "an irrational paranoia of black people."
The next phase of burrito eating is Preparation, which occurs once the subjects have made their way to the restaurant. During this phase, subjects try to pile as much filling into their burrito as possible. It is not uncommon for subjects to erupt in a fit of anger when the tortilla breaks during the wrapping process, spilling the carefully selected filling items all over the counter.
This, the shortest of the phases, occurs between the time of receipt of the burrito and first bite. Salivary glands contract, eyes grow wide, and heart rate increases. It is not to be confused with the more common source of these symptoms, "seeing a girl."
The euphoria stage consists of the pure, childlike joy of satisfying hunger with the juicy infant-sized bundle of chicken-filled joy custom-built before one's very eyes. As one subject noted, "nothing, absolutely nothing beats going Pac-Man on a burrito the size of your face". This sentiment was largely shared by the rest of the group.
Soon after euphoria, however, comes doubt. After eating two-thirds of the burrito, subjects start to feel full and lethargic, and rate of burrito consumption decreases exponentially. Citing both mental and physical blockage, subjects overwhelmingly expressed hesitancy that they could finish their dish at all.
Second Wind
Aside from Euphoria, perhaps the most uplifting phase of burrito eating is the second wind that follows Doubt. Subjects feel a rush of confidence in their eating ability, as if a tiny Moses has parted the Habanero salsa sea in their stomachs, leaving just enough room for the nibbled remnants of the burrito still left.
Almost immediately after the Second Wind comes Regret. The lethargy returns worse than before and is accompanied by many of the symptoms shared by users of Pepto-Bismol: headache, nausea, indigestion, upset stomach, and a citation for abuse of over-the-counter medication.
This one's self-explanatory.

Q: angularjs material design and flex layout I have created three layouts with flex=44,flex=20 and flex=44.
Basically 3 columns on the page.

I want to change the flex value or infact merge two flex and make it as one.
Is it possible to achieve from the controllers?

A: You need to keep the flex-value in the scope of the controller:
app.controller("MyCtrl", function ($scope) {
    $scope.flex1 = function () { return 44; };
    $scope.flex2 = function () { return 20; };
    $scope.flex3 = function () { return 44; };

    $scope.showFlex = function (n) {
      // your condition whether the flex-ed div should be shown goes in here
      return true;
    }
});

Your HTML should look like this:

The waiting period can be the most trying, the most painful and the longest period of your life no matter how short it may be. At least it seems that way maybe because of the times I have encountered His most deafening silence. But even in the waiting I know I'm not alone. Read Romans 8:22- 25. With that being said I am sure my true character is being revealed. Waiting for God's answer to prayer knowing what we do now about how He does answer, knowing what we deserve , and that He will provide more than enough we should focus on what we are gaining from this waiting period. Surely it will teach us patience, it will test our endurance, and will sometimes shake our faith. (I know mine has been.) But it's all in the name of Love. God knows best and He is smarter than us. He knows that even if we are in the right place at the right time, we will still miss our blessing if we're not in the right frame of mind. Read James 1:2-4.
As uncomfortable as it may be the longer the waiting, the more we will appreciate and value whatever it is we have been waiting for. I mentioned already in UnAnswered Prayer that I have been waiting for God to answer a prayer. I can tell you some prayers I have had He has answered exactly the way I had hoped for and quickly. This prayer like some others He is still revealing.
Although I admit that sometimes I want to rush things by trying to move ahead and I get impatient with Him and want to say, "God, this is good enough what about this.?", I know that He has my best intentions in mind and wants to abundantly bless me. Knowing He wants to abundantly bless me isn't something I have always believed. Because of feeling I don't deserve it but as said before Who says we deserve anything God graciously gives.
Are you believing God for something and in the waiting.?
While you are there believe God for more than enough. If it's a house. Instead of asking God for 2,000 square feet believe Him for 3,000. He is a God of more than enough. I don't understand His purpose for making me wait but I am not going to put a deadline on my prayers or limit Him. God is infinite for a reason and even though I don't understand, I trust His will completely.
While you are waiting keep believeing in Him and keep serving. It may be in your service to Him you will see His answer unfolding and feel His love.
This waiting will make us wiser and help us to realize things that we did not realize before by gaining discernment when something is not good for us, even though it looks good, sounds good, or feels good. Whether I get exactly what I pray for, more than what I pray for, or just gain wisdom from the waiting period, I know I am not waiting in vain. Even a lesson learned is still a blessing because wisdom gained is priceless. God is faithful through it all.
So I leave you with this encouragement that is also meant for me.
Don't give up! Wait for what God is preparing for you. Don't let this waiting period discourage you. Hang on to His word until it manifests in your life. BECAUSE! I Believe God has a harvest ahead!


Business Networking Breakfast Friday 22nd February 2013 TOPIC: Securing Democracy, Securing Business – A Prosperous South Africa for All! SPEAKER: Marius Fransman Please attached list of delegates.
Marius Fransman – the South African Deputy Minister of International Relations and Co-operation and the Chairperson of the African National Congress in the Western Cape province.
Address by Deputy Minister Marius Fransman at the Ubuntu Business Breakfast in Cape Town on, 22 February 2013, on the theme: Securing Democracy, Securing Business- Building a prosperous South Africa For All.
First and foremost I would like to express my sincere appreciation to, Mr Chaplain, for extending an invitation to me to speak at this important gathering of South Africans from different backgrounds, who are passionate about the development of our country. It is indeed an honour to be counted amongst the great speakers who spoke in your previous events. Most important, I would like to acknowledge the excellent work that the Ubuntu Foundation is doing in this country.
"One of the sayings in our country is Ubuntu – the essence of being human. Ubuntu speaks particularly about the fact that you can't exist as a human being in isolation. It speaks about our interconnectedness. You can't be human all by yourself, and when you have this quality – Ubuntu – you are known for your generosity. We think of ourselves far too frequently as just individuals, separated from one another, whereas you are connected and what you do affects the whole World. When you do well, it spreads out; it is for the whole of humanity".
All I'm saying is simply this: that all mankind is tied together; all life is interrelated, and we are all caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly. For some strange reason I can never be what I ought to be until you are what you ought to be. And you can never be what you ought to be until I am what I ought to be — this is the interrelated structure of reality.
The topic of today's breakfast is: Securing Democracy, Securing Business- Building a prosperous South Africa For All. This is an important and timely topic, because it makes us to stop and take stock of where we have come from and how far we have travelled as a nation in terms of creation of partnerships for the sustainable democracy. In order to do justice to the topic, we may as well ask ourselves the following philosophical questions (1) is it the only duty of the government to secure democracy or government, business and civil society;(2) What should be the relationship between the government and business in a democratic state (3) Does business have a role in a democratic state;(4) from our own experience, what has been the role of business in our democratic transition. I would like to urge you put these questions at the back of your minds within the context of Ubuntu as I proceed with the discussion.
If there is a nation in this world that understands and appreciates the importance of business in building democracy, that is South African. In casting an eye over South Africa's recent history, is the scale and growing sophistication of the business response to the key challenges facing the country, which continues to be one of the key ingredients in the fundamental transformation of the nation.
At the time when apartheid state was reluctant to entertain any idea of talks with the African National Congress and other liberation movements, as you would recall, it was business, through the spirit of Ubuntu, that initiated a series of consultations that contributed to the country's unfolding transition by, for example, responding to the living conditions of black South Africans in the 1970s; by brokering the first contacts between liberation movements in exile in the 1980s; by facilitating the National Peace Accord and the CODESA negotiations and the Multi Party Negotiation Process in the early 1990s; and by initiating and supporting a wide range of development programmes.
During those times, men like Christo Nel, Leon Cohen and Mike Saunders were keen to see business actively involved in the interaction between the apartheid government, beleaguered by a devaluing Rand and international sanctions, and the increasingly visible United Democratic Front (followed by the Mass Democratic Movement) as the internal arm of the banned African National Congress (ANC).
Some members of the business sector had already begun to hold meetings with progressive political leaders and had joined a group of prominent South Africans who travelled to Dakar in West Africa in 1987 to make contact with leaders of the ANC. However much the government railed, the course was set. The foundations of the apartheid status quo had cracked beyond repair. In anticipation of the intense process of social dialogue and transformation that would inevitably follow, essentially to accelerate the process of dialogue – the Consultative Business Movement (CBM) was established.
The story of the NBI and its role following South Africa's first democratic election is powerfully illustrated by three very different examples of its products – organisations and projects that have their origins in the NBI but – in the case of two of them at any rate – have taken flight on their own.
The first example is the establishment of Business Against Crime, as a response to the high levels of crime and violence that were prevalent in the latter half of the 1990s.
The second example is the establishment of the Business Trust in 1999, at the time of the second democratic elections. The Trust was formed to demonstrate business's continued commitment to South Africa's new democracy, and to ensure that the business connection to government at the highest level was maintained as Nelson Mandela handed over to Thabo Mbeki as president of the country.
Unlike the first two examples, the third project overviewed has not become a separate organisation. Nevertheless, the remarkable success of the Colleges Collaboration Fund (working in the vital but neglected field of further education and training), reflects a different mode of institutionalising the work of the NBI and sustaining the impact.
I have deliberately focused extensively on the historical role that the South African business played in the transition in order to demonstrate the power and the potential of business in building a better South African for all. This also sought to remind ourselves the lesson that our transition was a shared responsibility and this is what many people forget including business itself, and as a result, when something goes wrong stakeholders are quick to blame one another instead of sharing responsibilities. Marikana is a case in point here. In as much as our past success was our shared responsibility, our future should also be a shared responsibility.
In spite of the many challenges facing our country, South Africa remains one of the most competitive places to do business in the world. We have one of the best policy environments in the developing world. Let me mention an example to substantiate my statement. According to the World Economic Forum's 2010-11 Global Competitiveness Report, of the BRICS countries, South Africa is the easiest place to open a business, requiring on average the least number of steps and days to open a business. I am specifically mentioning BRICS because we will be hosting the fifth BRICS Summit in few weeks time from now and we are inviting all South African business to make use of the opportunity of our membership of this group to grow their business.
This leads us to the point wherein we should ask ourselves, what has been the role of the post-apartheid democratic government in securing democracy and business and how far we have gone. In spite of the huge challenges facing our country, the record of achievements speaks on behalf of the Government of South African with regard to securing democracy. As we speak today, we have one of the most advanced constitutions in the world. This constitution as you know was a product of a social contract we have had between the state and civil society and amongst former adversaries. It was a constitution based on the spirit of compromise and consensus.
In terms of financial accountability, South Africa ranks second out of 100 countries for the transparency and accountability of its budget processes, according to the latest Open Budget Index Survey by the Washington-based International Budget Partnership.
South Africa scored 90 points out of a possible 100 points in the Open Budget Index report of 2012, standing out as one of only six countries worldwide that releases extensive budget information to the legislature and the public in general.
The African democracy institute, Idasa, works in partnership with the International Budget Partnership on the Open Budget Index. Produced by independent experts, it is the only independent, comparative and regular measure of budget transparency and accountability in the world.
· South Africa scores 71 (out of 100) for overall governance.
· South Africa scores higher than the regional average for Southern Africa which is 59.
· South Africa scores higher than the continental average which is 51.
· South Africa receives its highest score in the Human Development category (77) and its lowest score in the Sustainable Economic Opportunity category (62).
Our recent report released by the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva is also something to be proud of as a nation trying to secure democracy. The report commended South Africa for its commitment to human rights and improving the lives of its citizens, and for the delivery of basic services such as housing, health and education.
In addition, South Africa was also praised for its leading role in the UN Human Rights Council, especially with regards the rights of gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and intersex persons.
From the foreign policy front of which we are custodian as the Ministry of International Relations and Cooperation (DIRCO), it is crucial to mention that our foreign policy is predicated on the Ubuntu diplomacy which is outlined in the Freedom Charter declaration which was adopted in the year 1955. The charter states that "South Africa shall strive to maintain world peace and the settlement of all international disputes by negotiation- not war".
In this regard, South Africa has always regarded Africa as the centerpiece of its foreign policy, and is mobilising a significant amount of resources towards the socio-economic awakening of the continent, peace-making and peace-building, as well as post-conflict reconstruction and development.
This is essential for us to ensure sound economic integration to enhance socio-economic conditions of our people, which is fundamental to our national interest.
For us to strengthen our African agenda, we have a responsibility to promote unity within our continent. We have successfully realised our objective in countries such as Sudan and South Sudan. In this regard, countries such as Madagascar will continue to receive our devoted attention based on our efforts of a better Africa and a better life for all.
Our economic diplomacy in the African continent has seen a significant increase in number of South African companies operating in the continent. These companies, in the spirit of Ubuntu, continue to shape the economic landscape of the continent by creating jobs and therefore contributing to the much needed economic development of the continent. They are indeed the important stakeholders in our foreign policy vision of creating a better Africa in a better world.
According to Consultancy African Intelligence, by 2008, South African companies had put US$ 8.5 billion into the sub-continent, more than any other African country. Investment has occurred in a number of economic sectors and has gone beyond the traditional Southern African markets, spreading into West, East and even Central Africa, in most cases with much success.
To the credit of South African companies, they have also ventured into investments that traditional investors from the Global North never dared to explore as they were deemed to be risky. This is clearly something we need to celebrate as it demonstrates that the better life for all transcend our borders within the spirit of Ubuntu, which simply means, I am because you are.
We gladly welcome recommendations and observations made the National Development Plan on how we should conduct our relations with other countries in the world and enhance our status in the global politics.
Those are some of a few achievements made during the last 18 years of our democracy and the way ahead is long. However, we should not be complacent since we remain one of the most unequal societies in the world. South Africa constantly ranks among the most unequal nations of the world. The richest 10 percent of the population earn just over 51 percent of the country's total income. That means the other 90 percent of the population share only 49 percent of what is earned in South Africa. The poorest 20 percent receive less than 1.5 percent. The implications of these figures are not good for the Government and business.
"We cannot continue to live in an island wealth surrounded by a sea of poverty"
Allow me to refer extensively to an article published recently in the business report by Pierre Heistein who is the convener of UCT's Applied Economics. "Inequality is economically inefficient. Regardless of how much the superrich are able to buy, there is a limit to how much of their wealth they can practically use. A centralisation of wealth from the majority to a select few results in a decrease of overall demand.
It slows the circulation of money and spending, and ultimately decreases the number of jobs being created.
It also leads to political instability. When a country is characterised by an extremely rich minority and a poor majority, the richer elite inevitably has greater control over the leadership and is able to steer it to meet its own interests.
Indeed these are societies whose economies remain archaic and extractive as opposed to inclusive and innovative. Conversely countries that have developed the necessary strong governance (political and economic) institutions that allow for innovation and creative destruction (of old ways of doing things) these are the countries that thrived. Similarly businesses that have also refused to change the business models – innovative destruction will lag behind creating more inequality and by implication implosion.
The mining industry and agricultural industries are a case in point where the industry continues to use outdated extractive business models creating major inequality and hence the subsequent strikes. The area of unrest has the highest income disparity. Hence, despite the economic framework and institutions in place business initially when the strike broke out rather than trying to build a partnership with workers and government in order to find an innovative and sustainable solution, it spoke past government and workers.
Thankfully we have moved beyond that. However if we want to ensure the prevention of future Marikanas and farmworker strikes in other industries all parties must begin to play its role together.
Government must ensure that it creates an enabling environment for business to prosper through strong institutions.
Business and labour must recognise that it must change its sometimes archaic business models and allow for innovation and creative destruction in order to move forward and address inequality.
Solving inequality is not about making the rich poorer. It is about preserving a system whereby a sufficient income gap exists to allow an incentive for innovation, hard work, risk taking and wealth creation, but where the pursuit of wealth is inclusive of all those involved in building it.
There is empirical evidence that poverty and unjust inequality are sources of global threats to peace and stability. For us to sustain our hard won democracy and development, it is imperative to always embrace the spirit of Ubuntu in everything we do, including how we do our business in our country and elsewhere.
One of the British famous poets, John Donne, once made the following observations: "No man is an Island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main… And then he goes on toward the end to say: any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee." And by believing this, by living out this fact, we will be able to remain awake through a great revolution.
In conclusion ladies and gentlemen I want to believe that as social partners that is business, government and labour, we today again begin to find in ourselves the same substantive resolve of Ubuntu we experienced in the in the 80's and 90's between those businesses I spoke about earlier. We should encourage such social partnership that brought down the apartheid system and ushered in our democracy to come to the party again and help us to address our current economic disparities.
