ACCC Confirms Lime E-Scooters Were Not As Safe As Promoted
By Charlie Brown
In Cybershack News
The ACCC has accepted a court enforceable undertaking following the agreement that Lime E-Scooters misrepresented "…the safety of a product…".
Here is the press release from the ACCC.
Lime e-scooters undertakes to address concerns about safety misrepresentations
ACCC – 17 June 2020
https://www.accc.gov.au/media-release/lime-e-scooters-undertakes-to-address-concerns-about-safety-misrepresentations
The ACCC has accepted a court-enforceable undertaking from e-scooter rental company Lime Network Pty Ltd (Lime) to address the ACCC's concerns regarding misrepresentations about the safety of its Generation 2 (Gen 2) model of e‑scooters and to comply with its product safety reporting obligations.
The ACCC considers Lime misrepresented to consumers that its Gen 2 e-scooters were safe to use when in fact it did not disclose to consumers a safety issue it was aware of.
In certain circumstances, Lime's Gen 2 e-scooters would apply excessive brake force, or locking, occurring on the front wheel, causing it to stop suddenly. Serious injuries suffered by consumers as a result included broken bones, damaged teeth, cuts and abrasions.
"Misrepresenting the safety of a product can have very serious consequences," ACCC Commissioner Sarah Court said.
"Businesses must disclose known issues so that consumers can take extra precautions if they still choose to use the products."
The ACCC was also concerned that Lime failed to comply with mandatory injury reporting requirements on at least 50 occasions for injuries arising from Gen 2 e-scooters in Australia and outside Australia.
"All businesses are reminded that if a person has suffered a serious injury, illness or death associated with using their product either in or outside Australia, they must report it under the provisions of the Australian Consumer Law," Ms Court said.
Lime also failed to notify the Commonwealth Minister about the firmware updates Lime applied to its Gen 2 e-scooters in February and March 2019 which specifically fixed the safety issue, as required by product safety laws.
"The ACCC considers that Lime was required to give written notice to the Commonwealth Minister within two days of applying each firmware update, because this was effectively action to recall the Gen 2-e-scooters."
"Notifying the Government of such incidents, and action taken to specifically address a product safety hazard is a vital part of our product safety regime," Ms Court said.
Lime has acknowledged its conduct was likely to have contravened the Australian Consumer Law, and has admitted that each time it failed to report a serious injury to the Commonwealth Minister it breached its Australian Consumer Law reporting obligations.
Lime suspended its e-scooter operations in Australia in March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the public health measures imposed by governments.
If Lime recommences its operations in Australia, it has also undertaken to supply only Gen 3 or other later models of e-scooters for hire, to address any safety issues or defects affecting its e‑scooters and to implement a comprehensive compliance program.
A copy of the undertaking is available at Lime Network Pty Ltd.
Lime is the Australian subsidiary of Neutron Holdings Inc. (Neutron), which provides dockless bicycle and e-scooter rentals to metropolitan areas and universities around the world. Users locate, unlock and pay to hire the devices via Lime's smartphone application.
In Australia, Lime has offered its Gen 2 e-scooters for hire in the following locations:
· Brisbane, from 16 November 2018 to 23 March 2020;
· Adelaide, from 15 February 2019 to 14 April 2019; and
· Victoria's Monash University Clayton campus, from 7 to 14 November 2018 for a trial period, with the e-scooters remaining available for use on campus until 10 December 2018.
In addition, Lime has offered its newer Generation 3 (Gen 3) model e-scooters for hire in Brisbane, from 11 February 2020 to 23 March 2020.
The Gen 3 e-scooter has a different design to the Gen 2 e-scooter, and is equipped with both an electronic brake on the rear wheel as well as a mechanical drum brake on the front wheel. Lime has advised the ACCC that Gen 3 e-scooters do not run firmware ever known to be affected by the issues experienced with Gen 2 e-scooters.
The circumstances in which Gen 2 e-scooters would experience the sudden stopping issue included when users rode downhill at top speed, or hit a pothole or other obstacle.
Lime has also agreed to publish a statement about the terms of the undertaking and the ACCC's concerns with its conduct.

Radio frequency interference is universally regarded to be a major problem in high quality audio and video replay. As all cables act as antenna and attract RFI, it was vital to provide an affordable solution to this problem whilst maintaining neutrality within the cable design.
All IsoTek cables are built by hand to extremely high standards. Elite Mains Cables provide a solution without sacrifice to the audio signal. Three high-grade cores of annealed Oxygen Free Copper conductors are encased in a highly flexible PVC inner sheath surrounded by a braided screen. This earthed screen forms an active RF shield around the inner cores. The effect is a reduction in the background mush within the system, producing a more open airy sound with a greater sense of high frequency detail. Rated at 16A, makes this cable ideal for all components especially power amplifiers, power supplies and of course mains conditioning devices. The Elite Mains Cable also features IsoTeks unique 24ct gold deep cryogenically treated IEC connector. This allows for maximum power transfer, long-term reliability and performance.

Wu Yuanbi, a 53-year-old woman, from Chongqing, China, has recently performed surgery on herself, with a common kitchen knife.
Wu, who works as a migrant worker, has been suffering from a chronic condition known as Budd-Chiari syndrome, for the last 13 years. This causes her stomach to gradually fill up with large quantities of fluid, rendering her unable to work and making id difficult to perform even the most simple tasks. Back in 2002, Wu and her family used all their life savings to pay for a medical procedure in which doctors removed 25 liters of fluid from her belly. Unfortunately, a relapse of the condition followed, and the woman found herself in need of a second surgery. However, she and her family were too poor to pay the 50,000 yuan ($7,686) fee, so Wu Yuanbi was forced to do something truly shocking.
A clinic in the town of Naftalan, 160 miles noth-west of Azerbaijan's capital of Baku, has found a therapeutic use for its abundant quantities of crude oil.
Azerbaijan is one of the world's leading oil exporters, and in the country's western plains "black gold" has been seeping out of the ground for centuries. In fact, they have so much of the stuff, that in the town of Naftalan, they use the excess crude oil as a cure for various illnesses. It all goes down at the famous Naftalan Clinic, where people from all over the former Soviet Union and even from the Emirates and Europe come to treat various skin diseases, rheumatism, arthritis and even their nerves with crude oil. Doctors here say their miraculous oil therapy is used to trat up to 100 different conditions.
The most popular treatment at Naftalan is the crude oil bath. Patients lower their bodies into 35 gallons of crude oil, at a temperature of 40 degrees. Many of them say the warm oil relaxes their joints and they'd love to spend more than 10 minutes soaked in black oil, but since it contains almost 50% naphthalene, a hydrocarbon deemed potentially carcinogenic by EU regulations, longer sessions could be hazardous to their health. The clinic's doctors claim millions of people have been treated at Naftalan over the years, and none of them have suffered any complications, as a result. Still, to be on the safe side they limit the sessions to 10 minutes, and no more than a bath per day, during a 10-day treatment.
Most doctors claim tobacco smoke causes serious diseases, but at the Griya Balur clinic, in Indonesia, it's used as a cure for cancer, autism or emphysema.
In most western countries, a clinic that uses tobacco as a remedy would have been closed down immediately, but in the city of Jakarta, it's one of the busiest treatment centers. People suffering from serious illnesses, some ironically caused by years of smoking, come to Gryia Balur searching for miraculous cures associated with tobacco smoke. Its founder, Dr Gretha Zahar told AFP that she has treated over 60,000 people from all over the world, in the last ten years.
The treatment for cancer or emphysema sufferers includes blowing smoke from "divine cigarettes" infused with "nanotechnology", through a tube, to remove cancer-causing "free radicals". Smoke is blown into the mouth, nose and ears of the patients. Zahar claims that smoking actually manipulates the mercury found in tobacco cigarettes, curing deadly diseases and even slowing down the aging process. On her website, she says her theories don't need to be published in medical journals or subjected to clinical tests, and that she doesn't have the financial resources to "fight Western medical scientists".
Christmas is a time for parents to be happy for their children's excitement. But this doesn't apply to Ray and Tina Cleveland, as their daughter Holly is suffering from a rare disease that causes her heart to stop and leaves her breathless for about 30 seconds, when she gets over excited.
This is two-year-old Holly's first Christmas since she was diagnosed with the disease and both her parents are very worried, even though they were assured the toddler's heart will always start beating again. In fact they put up the Christmas tree and started "celebrating" early so that little Holly could get used to all the excitement gradually.
"We even put our tree up early to try and get her used to the twinkly lights before they started appearing everywhere. It's heartbreaking to see her little face light up and then have to immediately calm her down again. I've even avoided asking her what present she wants because I don't want her to get too excited when she sees it," Holly's mother, Tina, explains.
A German toymaker has designed a series of cuddly toys, each suffering from serious mental illnesses like depression and hallucination.
36-year-old Martin Kittsteiner, from Hamburg, says the idea to create the bizarre toys started from a joke between him and his girlfriend, who has a lot of stuffed toys, but he soon started to see the potential of the idea. Each of his cuddly toys has its own disease and symptoms, and comes with a medical history, referral letter and treatment plan. Martin hopes his unique creations will help families with children suffering from mental illnesses.
You can order your very own mentally ill toy from Martin Kittsteiner's website, for $40 each. There, you can also play a mini-game and try to diagnose the toys' problems.
Ten-month-old Lei Lei, also known as the "Michelin baby", has become somewhat of an Internet celebrity after photos of him were published on a Chinese government site.
The young boy had scientists scratching their heads, when he was brought to the hospital, earlier this month, on account of a fever. At just ten months, he weighs a whopping 20 kilograms, about the average weight of a normal six year-old. He is currently in a hospital, undergoing some tests that will hopefully reveal some hints about his abnormal size and weight.
Lel Lei's parents say the boy has quite an appetite, and that he spends most of his days juts breast-feeding and sleeping. He also instinctively puts everything he touches into his mouth, and tries to munch on it.
The Michelin Baby is just the tip of the iceberg, as the obesity problem because more and more serious in China. As the country's economy keeps growing, millions of people are becoming sedentary and developing weight problems. Over 60 million Chinese are obese, and over 200 million are overweight.
You could say it happened just like in Disney's "Little Mermaid", only in this real life case, the mermaid needed a little help from a surgeon.
The appropriately named Milagros Cerron, is a Peruvian girl,born with a rare condition, known as sirenomelia, or "mermaid syndrome", which left her legs bound together, fro her heels, all the way to her groin.
The Little Mermaid, as she is known, in her native Peru, has just turned six years old, and she has made great progress. Dr. Luis Rubio, head of the surgical team that managed to separate Milagros' legs, and rebuild her knees, hips and ankles, said she was doing very well, physically, but that she still has a long way to go.
The young girl, who's name means "miracles", in Spanish, has suffered three major operations, in the last five years, and she will need to have her urinary and sexual organs reconstructed, in two years.
Sirenomelia is a rare congenital defect that occurs in one out of 70,000 births, and causes death in the vast majority of cases. There is just one other case, 17 year old American, Tiffany York, who has undergone successful separation surgery, before.
Hemophilia is a serious condition,and over 2,000 Romanians suffer from it. To draw some attention to the hardships the 2,000 Romanians suffering from this disease, have to go through every day, the Romanian Association for the Problems of Hemophilia colored the water fountains, in the center of Bucharest, bloody red.
Passers-by did in fact notice the red water flowing in the fountains, but it's going to take a lot more than this to inspire them to help hemophilia victims.

1. Create a dynamic region
2. Create a bounded taskflow with a single blank page (used for reset) and add to the dynamic region as default region
3. add other taskflows as you need and add command links to the left side
4. Enjoy...

Q: Mac OS 10.9 asks for MAS password after reboot I've recently installed Mac OS 10.9 (fresh installation) on a Macbook Pro Mid 2010 and restored my user folder via a Time Machine backup. If I restart my Mac, my Wallpaper gets reverted to default and I have to enter the MAS password for almost every Application I want to start (which I've bought via MAS, of course).
Is there a reason why my Wallpaper gets reverted and I have to enter my MAS password if I want to start a MAS Application after every reboot? Is there a problem with permissions on my home folder?

A: It sounds like a virus, however it may be a permission error, which means that the application is probably not able to write the password (or wallpaper) to disk.
If it is a permission error, it is easily fixed
Go to Disk Utility, this can be found in your applications folder under Utilities.
Click on your disk, (the second one below the technical name, it usually says Macintosh HD) and click the First Aid tab, you may need to click verify disk permissions before you click the Repair Disk Permissions button. Depending on what is causing the problem, you may need to also click verify disk and then repair disk.
Hope I helped!

Any film about a killer shark will inevitably be compared to "Jaws" (usually unfavorably, which is probably why we don't see many of them). But "The Shallows," in which Blake Lively is pestered by a shark near a picturesque Mexican beach, dares to invoke the sacred memory of Hollywood's first summer blockbuster and comes away from it looking pretty good. Stripped to its bare essentials by screenwriter Anthony Jaswinski and directed with tense efficiency by Jaume Collet-Serra ("Run All Night," "Orphan"), it's a no-frills woman-vs.-nature thriller that renews our national fear of sharks while making a strong case for Blake Lively as an action heroine.
Lively plays Nancy, a Texas surfer (yes, they have them) who has come to Mexico to find a secluded beach spoken of by her late mother. With her traveling companion hungover back at the hotel, Nancy makes her way alone to the beach, which not one but two locals refuse to tell her the name of. (This should be a red flag.) While surfing, Nancy suffers a serious but non-life-threatening injury, takes refuge on a tiny rock island, and realizes she's in even worse trouble: between her rock and the shore are a couple hundred feet of ocean and at least one very hungry shark.
And that's about it, storywise. Other elements include a few other humans, a seagull, some jellyfish, stinging coral, a floating whale carcass, and a GoPro camera attached to the shark-bitten remains of a surfer's helmet, but the film refuses to be distracted by any of them. Laser-focused on building suspense and fear, the film is barely interested in the backstory or character attributes of its protagonist, let alone secondary details. No, it's essentially a one-woman show, and Lively carries it off with grit, resourcefulness (Nancy is a medical student, thank goodness), emotion, and the appropriate amount of being terrified. Collet-Serra expertly keeps us breathless through it all, delivering a B movie that can swim competitively with the main attractions.
B (1 hr., 26 min.; PG-13, some rather graphic violent images, but it only says the F-word once, so it avoids the R rating.)

World War One Battlefield Tactics Essay
The First World War witnessed an appalling number of casualties. Due partly to this fact, some historians, developed the perception that commanders on both sides depended on only one disastrous approach to breaking the stalemate. These historians attributed the loss of life to the reliance on soldiers charging across no-man's land only to be mowed down by enemy machineguns. The accuracy of this, however, is fallacious because both the German's and Allies developed and used a variety of tactics during the war. The main reason for battlefield success and eventual victory by the Allies came from the transformation of battlefield tactics; nevertheless, moral played a major role by greatly affecting the development of new tactics and the final outcome of the war.
Tactics during the early stages of the war led to the massacre of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and a huge loss in moral by the Allies. Originally the Allies employed Napoleonic Era tactics that relied heavily on infantry lining up shoulder to shoulder and advancing across open fields. The French further claimed that if they attacked with superior moral they could overcome any foe. Due to the widespread utilization of machine guns and long-range rifles, these tactics resulted in enormous casualties. The French and British, as well, continued to funnel soldiers into failed offensives, even if the battle resulted in little or no gain, which further led to a decline in moral. With thousands of soldiers' dead, the armies could not continue to fight with these tactics or the armies would cease to exist or soldiers would refuse to continue to fight.
When Allied soldiers began to refuse to return to the front lines their officers, in response, made compromises to retain what little moral still lingered, because if they failed the Germans' could possibly overrun allied positions. Initially, officers attempted to reason with the soldiers to get them to return to the front lines. These officers claimed that the German's would subjugate France to a similar punishment that Russia received in the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk. The soldiers concurred with their officers and agreed to return to the front lines (Smith 190). The French High Command, however, did not value the treatment of enlisted soldiers as equals and order the executions of a number of the mutineers. The French Command, also, decided that the prudent decision to stop impending mutinies would be to prohibit "any new large-scale offensive…" (Smith 195). With the comprehension that moral could collapse further the Allies turned to a handful of new tactics to minimize the number of deaths that occurred and build moral.
From observations from the battlefield and experimentation the Allies developed a number of tactics that allowed them to gain substantially more ground than in the past while reducing the number of casualties. To reduce wastage, the number of soldiers killed during a normal day, the French adopted the use of "difeme en...

2022 Will Be The Year Of Agile Operations
Sagi Eliyahu
Much attention has been paid this year to the promise of innovative technologies such as low-code/no-code, APIs, and automation. Seriously, everybody's talking about citizen development. Everyone's talking about efficiency. Everyone's talking about automating workflows. Some are even talking about composability.
Speaking last month at the Gartner IT Symposium, Gartner analyst Milind Govekar predicted that, come 2025, at least 70% of all new apps will be built via no-code using "composable techniques."
There's a very real reason this is so exciting—but it's something the hype has sort of overlooked. The potential of no-code, automation, and composability goes beyond "citizen development" or "eliminating manual work" or increasing efficiency.
It promises to do for entire organizations what the "Cloud" did for product development teams 10 or so years ago.
Moving to the Cloud allowed product and development teams to finally begin operating in a true agile fashion, not only managing their tasks in an agile way, but actually delivering their software when they wanted to and in a true iterative way.
No-code, automation, composability? These things make it possible for entire organizations to operate in a true agile fashion.
Call it agile operations.
I don't mean these innovations make possible agile project management (as in sprints, Scrum or Kanban). We already have that.
What I'm talking about is extending everywhere inside an organization—from ops teams to developers—the ability to deliver solutions and fix problems in an iterative, incremental, adaptive, fundamentally agile way. The ability to deliver, at the end of each iterative segment of the cycle, a version of the solution you're working on, implement feedback, and then repeat that process over and over until you have the most effective, elegant version of the solution possible.
As Simon Sinek has put it, agile is the secret to unlocking "unimaginable innovation." Today's most innovative companies are operating in an agile way. (SpaceX may be the most incredible example, with Elon Musk's 5-step process for rigorous operations, which he detailed in his now famous tour of Starbase.)
Yet operating in a rigorously agile way is not something that most operations teams in Sales, Support, Finance, Legal, HR and others are able to do today. They haven't had the tech. But just as the Cloud allowed product and engineering teams to realize the "agile promise," composability is the architecture that will enable operations teams to do the same.
This is the next era in digital transformation. The last decade was all about Cloud transformation. The next one will be about agile transformation. And it will change everything.
Agile operations have been years in the making.
Agile is a concept that dates all the way back to 1950. That's around when Toyota embraced agile methodologies in the development of its now famous Toyota Production System—which, btw, helped Toyota become the most effective and profitable car manufacturer in the world for a long time.
But whereas agile methodologies have long been fundamental to manufacturing, they didn't impact other sectors—such as software development—until the 2010s. Until that point, developers had abided by what's known as the Waterfall method, which mandates a strictly linear, stage-by-stage development process in which both the end-product and the plan for building it is designed rigorously and completely in advance. Sort of the way one builds a house. The project then proceeds downstream, from stage to stage, team to team, until it is finished, at which time it can be delivered to the customer.
Some projects require a Waterfall approach. You can't build a house in an agile way. There are real physical-world dependencies that must accounted for in a certain order. You've got to finish the plumbing before you put in the flooring, etc.
Before the Cloud, software was the same way. There was a final release date before which you would have to "burn" the software on a CD and ship it to the stores for consumers to buy it (see Windows 95 frenzy). Still, the cost of change in software is much cheaper than the cost of changing things in the physical world, which makes an iterative approach very appealing. But without the option to deliver the software in an agile way, software developers were stuck with Waterfall. This came at a cost. Products took longer than they should have to reach customers, because they required extensive planning, design, and testing for as many edge cases as one could come up with. But with testing really only occurring at the end of a project, user feedback and bugs would often be caught too late to redress efficiently. Sometimes, bugs torpedoed projects at the finish line, losing companies lots of money and time.
But developers didn't have any other choice. We just didn't have the tech. It's hard to be agile when the software you want to iterate on comes via CD-rom.
But then came the Cloud, and everything changed. Suddenly, we had a delivery mechanism and an architecture conducive to agile development—that could turn agile from mere theory to something we could put into practice.
The results were revolutionary. Today, we take both the Cloud and agile possibilities for granted. Just about every software company pushes updates and improvements to their products weekly or in some cases daily—and consumers don't even think twice about it. (Heck, even Tesla's cars get over-the-air updates now.)
Before the Cloud, software development was an area of the enterprise brimming with potential, just waiting for the right kind of technology that would allow it to explode and finally realize its own promise. Software developers wanted to move faster and more strategically. And they knew they could. They just needed the architecture.
Ops departments, business teams—they have that same potential today. Most non-developer initiatives still abide by Waterfall-adjacent strategies. Actually, these teams have it even worse than developers did, because most remain dependent on IT for any kind of process improvement or solution. (And the solutions they're eventually given require all kinds of forced changes in behavior to realize any value, which makes iterating impossible.) Processes they depend on proceed on someone else's schedule. Non-developer teams may as well be living in the on-prem days.
By empowering these teams to build their own solutions, and to leverage innovative capabilities on their own terms, composability allows non-developer teams self-determination and independence.
Or, agility.
Agility starts, in this sense, with agency.
And that's the thing. We have the power—right freaking now—to grant non-developer teams that agency. To extend to every segment of an organization the ability to take their creative and problem solving destinies into their own hands just as developers did in the Cloud transformation. And to begin realizing the same kind of ridiculous ROI and improved efficiency and performance that software developers realized when they were able to take more control over their own timeline thanks to the Cloud.
I see it happen with the companies we work with at Tonkean every day. It's a matter, really, of extending agile concepts from product innovation to process innovation.
Whereas agile development transformed how we build products, agile operations will transform how we build companies. We'll have better, more capable companies as a result.
So that's one reason why the agile transformation is exciting. Another is what agile operations will make possible for us as a society. By expanding who inside organizations can participate in the problem solving process, agile operations could facilitate the next big leap. (Or, the next chapter in digital transformation.) Because big leaps don't come from individual innovations. They come from extending the ability to innovate to whole new categories of people. Today, only a small number of people inside any given organization can build new things, or tangibly achieve technological progress. What happens when we increase that number exponentially?
We're about to find out. What we've seen so far is just the tip of the iceberg.

This is my favourite therapy… and as I love to photograph I wanted to try to get it!
And I'm pretty sure I nailed it. Well at least I know that the people there will know it. I wonder how it comes across if you don't get it… or if you don't understand. Maybe you have to be in the middle of us to understand 🙂 maybe it's all in my head. In all cases I love it. I love them.


This book deals with how we can learn to live within our planet's boundaries. With astonishing photographs and in depth commentary, it serves as an inspiration for action. We face a turning point in human history and the state of the Earth. We must bend the curves of global environmental change that are propelling us towards catastrophic risks. Nothing less than the world as we know it is at stake. With a fundamental shift in mindset, humanity can succeed in a transition to global sustainability.
Over the past 10,000 years, we have lived on a stable planet with extraordinarily favorable environmental conditions. In that time, we have developed tools that have let us grow at an astonishing rate, from handheld axes to moderndayindustrial machines and fossil fuels. We have dumped chemical pollution into our planet's waters and skies, and cut down its forests. And yet, our resilient planet has bounced back from these assaults, while continuing to provide ecosystem services such as food, clean water, and clean air.
But the next ten years could prove to be the turning point for our seemingly healthy planet. We may have stretched Earth's resilience to its breaking point.
Over the past 50 years, our unsustainable ways of living have begun to put immense pressure on the planetary processes that support our wellbeing and economic development. Loss of biodiversity, erosion of the world's soils, and thesteady pressures of climate change are only a few of the clues that some of the planet's support systems may be close to failure.
These systems all show the same pattern, whether it's the steady upward growth of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, the disappearance of the rainforest wiped out by agricultural lands, or the plunging numbers of species that survive the onslaught of industrial fishing boats that put food on our tables while emptying the seas. These curves are climbing ever closer toward tipping points that spell ecological disaster – and disaster for humanity.
We need to find ways to "bend" these curves away from such global risks. And we need to do it now, in what may be the most decisive decade in human history on planet Earth. This book is about deepening the insights of our social-ecological predicament as a source of hope and innovation. We need nothing less than a great transformation of societies in the world, and we believe it is possible.


So I had a lovely Christmas and did very well on the present front!
What girl who's a little obsessed with colour doesn't like a bit of Kate Spade?
I'm also rather chuffed with my Indie Secret Santa gifts which were sent to me by the lovely Helen Macdonald of Jolly Good Studio.
The Sam Osborne calendar I'd been lusting after!
And a lovely little teapot necklace!
I also got some of the books from my Christmas list. My favourite of which has to be Beci Orpin's Find and Keep. I spent the whole of yesterday evening devouring it!
My husband also bought me a beautiful notebook from Smythson (which you can see in the fist picture). I'm determined to use it every day rather than saving it for "best" - a bit nervous about starting though!

Food anticipatory activity on a calorie-restricted diet is independent of Sirt1
Assali, Dina R. and Hsu, Cynthia T. and Gunapala, Keith M. and Aguayo, Antonio and McBurney, Michael and Steele, Andrew D. (2018) Food anticipatory activity on a calorie-restricted diet is independent of Sirt1. PLoS ONE, 13 (6). Art. No. e0199586. ISSN 1932-6203. PMCID PMC6016907. https://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:20180702-090755831
Postscript (S1 Fig. Testing FAA in tyrosine hydroxylase Cre deletion mutants of Sirt1) - Supplemental Material
MS Excel (S1 Dataset. Behavior, body weight, and food intake for each mouse line used in this study) - Supplemental Material
A number of studies have demonstrated that the Sirtuin family member, Sirt1, is a key integrator of growth, metabolism, and lifespan. Sirt1 directly interacts with and deacetylates key regulators of the circadian clock, positioning it to be an important link between feeding and circadian rhythms. In fact, one study suggests that Sirt1 is necessary for behavioral anticipation of limited daily food availability, a circadian process termed food anticipatory activity (FAA). In their study, mice overexpressing Sirt1 had enhanced FAA, while mice lacking Sirt1 had little to no FAA. Based on the supposition that Sirt1 was indeed required for FAA, we sought to use Sirt1 deletion to map the neural circuitry responsible for FAA. We began by inactivating Sirt1 using the cell-type specific Cre-driver lines proopiomelanocortin, but after observing no effect on body weight loss or FAA we then moved on to more broadly neuronal Cre drivers Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II and nestin. As neither of these neuronal deletions of Sirt1 had impaired FAA, we then tested 1) a broad postnatal tamoxifen-inducible deletion, 2) a complete, developmental knockout of Sirt1, and 3) a gene replacement, catalytically inactive, form of Sirt1; but all of these mice had FAA similar to controls. Therefore, our findings suggest that FAA is completely independent of Sirt1.

Dark Parables: The Little Mermaid and the Purple Tide Collector's Edition #BigFishGames
Thank you to Big Fish Games for providing a complimentary game code to facilitate this PC game review. All opinions expressed are my own.
Being a casual gamer, I am a huge fan of Big Fish Games. They have such a vast inventory of PC games for people like me, who only have time to play once a week (or sometimes less). I have played many different hidden objects games before, but this new release, Dark Parables: The Little Mermaid and the Purple Tide Collector's Edition, has been my favorite thus far.
For this game, I played in "casual" mode, which let's me ask for hints and allows me to use a map that indicates in which locations I still have pending business. The game is quite intricate. There are multiple buildings and many different rooms to unlock in each one. The hidden objects portion is split into two facets. There are hidden objects throughout the regular game areas for which you can earn achievement awards when you find them and there are hidden object mini games. In the mini games, you must search for pieces of three objects and when you've found all the pieces, the fractured objects reassemble and then join together to make one item you need for the game. Much of the game is collecting objects to access another key item or to unlock more content. For myself, I did not find the hidden object mini games to be extremely challenging, but there were always 1 to 3 objects per game that were a challenge to find.
In addition to the hidden object games, there are a variety of mini games. Usually, the hidden object games are what I enjoy the most, but this game offers mini games that I found to be quite unique and challenging because they mostly involve problem-solving. See the example below . . .
As you can see, the graphics are quite beautiful for this game, which adds to the magic. The storyline is about a detective (yourself) who finds herself in a fantasy world with mermaids, man-eating eels, and sorcery. I would say it took me approximately 6 hours to play this game from start to finish. During the last two hours I had 3 children glued to my side because they started watching me and got hooked by this game. In my opinion, young children might be frightened by the eel and some of the evil-doers, but I think a child who is 9 or 10 years old or older would enjoy this game as much as an adult.
I also want to point out that my Windows tablet with an Atom processor ran this game just fine, although it was much easier to find the hidden objects on a 22" monitor than on a 10" screen.
If you have some time to kill at night or on the weekends, I highly recommend this game. It was quite entertaining all-around. You can try Dark Parables: The Little Mermaid and the Purple Tide Collector's Edition for free and then purchase the full version if you like it at www.BigFishGames.com.

The Handy American Government Answer Book
How Washington, Politics, and Elections Work
Misiroglu, Gina Renée
"The stakes have never been higher: national security, civil liberties, the economy, the future of the republic. Yet few outside Washington actually understand how our government and political system should work, much less how it actually operates. On one level, it's a complex, interlocking world veiled in power brokering, bureaucracy, and big money. On another, it's the biggest, richest, most influential organization in the world, for better or worse. Understanding how modern America is managed and governed is more vital than ever, but television, radio, newspapers, and social media frequently aim to spin, seduce, and sell product rather than serve anything resembling the truth. Filling the breach and answering basic questions about how our very complex government operates and what it promises, [this book] takes a comprehensive look at the systems, people, and policies that comprise American democracy, providing much-needed clarity to the current political drama. This informative book traces the historic development of the government, the functions of each branch of government, and how they work together. It provides clear and concise definitions of who does what and why. Written in an entertaining, reader-friendly, question-and-answer format, [this book] deciphers the news behind the headlines through well-researched answers to nearly 800 common questions. This handy primer also includes numerous illustrations, graphs, tables, a helpful bibliography, and an extensive index, adding to its usefulness. In the midst of the overheated rhetoric of the moment and the fast-changing, crisis-dominated world, a well-informed citizenry armed with [this book] is the best defense against political and corporate chicanery!"--Amazon.com.

The Metatag Drupal module finally brings a ton of SEO tools to OSU Drupal 7. Unfortunately the default tokens for page title creation need some tweaking. Here's a list of the tokens and defaults I've been using.
The default token for user nodes uses "username" rather than "preferred name". Preferred name field allows for educational credentials such as Phd, MPH, RD, MS and whatnot. Because the default would make a page title of Eric Smith | College of Public Health and Human Sciences | Oregon State University the following tokens will create a page title of Eric Smith, PhD, RD | College of Public Health and Human Sciences | Oregon State University. While this may seem just a matter of faculty vanity – with a name as generic as "Eric Smith" it would be better for search if the credentials are included.
Due to top book page of a group not displaying a page title the metatag book page defaults don't display the group name in the page title. Thus if you have "Internships" as the group name the actually page title will display as " | College of Public Health and Human Sciences | Oregon State University". Not good.
Two options to fix this.
Just enter the page title by hand on the actual node – rather than change the default. Theoretically you'll not have many organic groups in your overall site.
Unfortunately I've not found the correct parent page order token to fill in all the correct page titles within a book… or at least not in the correct order. The most specific part of the page title should be to the far left of the title – followed successively by more encompassing levels until reaching unit then university. For some bizarre reason there doesn't seem to be a token of the correct order of things.

Coronation Street: Sol Heras to exit as Ryan Connor
Love rat Ryan will leave "for the time being" later this summer, says a spokesperson for the ITV soap
By David Brown
Sunday, 21st July 2013 at 5:35 pm
Sol Heras is to depart the cobbles in the coming months after his character, Ryan Connor, leaves town. Coronation Street publicity manager Alison Sinclair confirmed the news earlier today when she tweeted: "Ryan will leave Weatherfield for the time being – end of the summer".
Heras, 25, joined the ITV soap in 2012 after taking over the role of Ryan from Ben Thompson. Since his reintroduction, Ryan has been involved in several high-profile storylines: last year, mum Michelle (Kym Lomas) caught him snorting cocaine in the Rovers toilets, while earlier in 2013, he embarked on an affair with Katy Armstrong (Georgia May Foote).
The actor today admitted that he will miss his screen mother: "Kym is one of my best friends on the show. She took me under her wing and we've become best friends. She's ace, we talk all the time. And with Ryan being Michelle's son there's a chance he could come back."
But in an interview with the Daily Star on Sunday, Heras admitted that he has come in for some flak thanks to the actions of his character: "I get a lot of people shouting at me asking why I'm so mean to Chesney. Guys congratulate me on having a gorgeous girlfriend but other people moan and say I should leave her alone. I was on a golf course recently and the lady behind the bar refused to serve me. She said 'You're an a**ehole. I can't serve you'."

Yuvan Nikolayevich Shestalov ;(1937-2011) was a Mansi writer from Russia.

Life and work
Shestalov was born 22 June 1937 in Kamratka village, Beryozovsky District, Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug.

Shestalov is arguably the best known author in the Mansi language although he mostly wrote in Russian. His work in Mansi and Russian has been widely translated and he worked actively to preserve his native language and culture. He also became a laureate of several Soviet and Russian literary prizes.

The first poetic book by Yu. Shestalov in the Mansi language "Makem At" ("Breath of the Earth") was published in 1958 in Tyumen. The first really successful work was "The Pagan Poem" (1971), in which the author tried to translate into the language of poetry the ritual culture of his people with its actions and multi-layered spiritual content.

After the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1991, he converted to shamanism.

Shestalov died on 5 November 2011, aged 75.

Recently I heard the average smartphone user is never more than three feet away from his or her phone. There is no judgment on this, but it does play into our need as consumer and B2B market researchers to expand our thinking on how we deliver surveys to respondents.
• Increased analysis options brought forth by 'Big Data'.
Looking forward it is easy to see that certain target groups are better suited to desktop surveys. If you believe your audience prefers "traditional" online studies then flag their records to receive this method only. Conversely, if they are more mobile friendly then invite them via their smartphones. If tradeshows are in your marketing mix then tablet based surveys are the better approach.
A few channel specific notes: online surveys are best suited if your project requires extensive logic, grid questions; higher-order methods such as max-diff or conjoint; or is more than 10 questions. Mobile surveys must be optimized for the typical smartphone user experience. An article in the April 2014 issue of Quirk's highlights data on completion rates by screen size. Mobile surveys have a significantly lower completion rate than do online surveys (59% vs. 76% for online). Simplify and shorten your survey if you are going mobile.
There was a time when I would not have thought about designing surveys for multiple platforms. Those days are history. We most now take into account the platform we expect respondents to use and tailor our survey to meet it. This shift will also lead us to question the notion there is one survey to rule them all – less visual real estate will likely lead to shorter, more bite-sized surveys – perfect for when we are waiting for latte.

Q: How to Parse Json with an url in Android Studio i have this Json
{'information':  [{"id_module":"123456","adresse_mac":"0.0.0.1","mot_de_passe":"mdp123"}]}

and i would like to put the "adresse mac" into a string using the url but i really don't know how to do this so if someone can help me it would be awesome.I did lot of research but the tutorials i found are bad.I'am a beginner it's my first app so just be tolerant
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    StrictMode.setThreadPolicy(new StrictMode.ThreadPolicy.Builder()
            .detectAll()
            .penaltyLog()
            .penaltyDialog()
            .build());

    StrictMode.setVmPolicy(new StrictMode.VmPolicy.Builder().detectAll()
            .penaltyLog()
            .build());

    JSONObject json = null;
    String str = "";
    HttpResponse response;
    HttpClient myClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
    HttpPost myConnection = new HttpPost("the url i want");
}
    public void parseJson(String jsonString)
    {
        try
        {
            JSONObject json = new JSONObject(jsonString);
            JSONArray userdetails = json.getJSONArray("information");
            for (int i=0; i<userdetails.length(); i++)
            {
                JSONObject user = userdetails.getJSONObject(i);
                String address = user.getString("id_module");
                String name = user.getString("mot_de_passe");
                String userid = user.getString("adresse_mac");

                TextView url = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.url);
                url.setText(userid);

            }
        }
        catch (Exception e) {}

    }

A: If you are getting this JSON data from the url, I suggest you must use JSONParser class for parsing JSON. There are many methods to parse a JSON string. I personally use JSONParser. Google JSONParser.java and get it downloaded and copy into your source folder. Import JSONparser class into your activity, mostly if I am getting data from a URL using the internet I use Asynctask for parsing from url.
Here is AsyncTask
for calling AsyncTask use new Class_Name().execute();
class Class_Name extends AsyncTask<String, String, String> {

    // JSON parser class
    JSONParser jsonParser = new JSONParser();

    // testing on Emulator:
    private String _URL = "Your_URL";

    @Override
    protected void onPreExecute() {
        super.onPreExecute();

    }

    @Override
    protected String doInBackground(String... args) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        // Check for success tag
        int success;
                    try {
            // Building Parameters if parameter present

            List<NameValuePair> params = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>();

            params.add(new BasicNameValuePair("Pram1", param1));

            Log.d("request!", "starting");

            // Posting user data to script
            JSONObject json = jsonParser.makeHttpRequest(_URL, "POST",
                    params);

            // full json response
            Log.d("get data", json.toString());

            int id_module = json.getInt("id_module");
            String adresse_mac = json.getString("adresse_mac");
            String mot_de_passe = json.getString("mot_de_passe");

        } catch (JSONException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        return null;

    }

    /**
     * After completing background task Dismiss the progress dialog
     * **/
    protected void onPostExecute(String file_url) {
        // dismiss the dialog once product deleted
        }

}

Codelord

A: Try this code
    try {
        JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject("");

Kolkata: Railway Board chairman Ashwani Lohani on Sunday hinted at a change in flexi-fare system in premium trains, saying there will be some tweaking which will benefit both passengers and railways.
Lohani, who earlier headed Air India, said flexi pricing structure works well in competitive transportation like the airlines, where private operators vie with each other to increase occupancy.
But when it comes to trains, the Indian Railways is the only passenger service operator and flexi-fare system may not be conducive for passengers, the Railway Board chairman said.
In the present flexi-fare system, train fares go up as soon as a certain number of seats are booked in premium trains. "There will be some tweaking in some areas which will be beneficial to both passengers and the railways," Lohani said.
Railway minister Piyush Goyal had earlier said that instead of flexi-fares, a dynamic pricing system was being considered where discounts could be given during off season.
The fares would automatically adjust through artificial intelligence, algorithms or technology, to help trains have more occupancy, thus maximising revenues, the minister had said.
On a visit to the city to review progress of work in Eastern, South Eastern and Metro Railways, the chairman said that overall punctuality of passenger trains stood at 70 to 75 percent.
"While punctuality is an issue, safety is also of great concern and we have laid utmost stress on track maintenance and repairs," he said.
Stating that track maintenance work leads to delay in train movement, he said this is a vicious circle but safety is foremost and has been given priority over punctuality.
Lohani, an officer with the Indian Railway Service of Mechanical Engineers, who was brought back from Air India to head the Railway Board in August 2017 after a string of accidents, assured that once track maintenance work has been streamlined and safety issues are taken care of, punctuality of trains would rise.


I'm confused with the registration and members thingy. So if you register, you are registering to the iclan website right, and that means you can post messages across different websites created with iclan? So what is the members thing? How do I add a iclan user to the members list.Am I adding the iclan user or just "a guy" to the members list? If so, what does it mean, is the member a part of my clan or smthing? And then I can add him to the roster?
For a member to join your clan, he/she needs an account so first, he/she needs to register to iClan Websites.
Then after this, he/she can now click the Apply button or Join button on your website to be a member of your clan website.

Trouble Preferred(1948)
FOR Trouble Preferred (1948) YOU CAN
At the Los Angeles Police Academy, Dale Kent and Madge Walker are undergoing six weeks of intensive instruction as part of their training to become police officers. Lieutenant Rod Brooks handles classroom instruction as well as advising them on the firing range. Sergeant Hazel Craine finds the women an apartment in her building and they move in together so that they can help each other make it through the course. Eventually, Dale and Madge are among seven who graduate, but must serve a further probationary period before they are fully accepted as officers. Rod and Hazel are reassigned to accompany the new recruits to Juvenile Division, and Dale and Madge, who had been expecting exciting assignments, are soon bored by the office routine. At lunch one day, the women attempt to foil a pickpocket but end up arresting the victim instead of the thief, prompting Sgt. Craine to warn them that they are "on borrowed time." Later, Rod takes them along to interview a woman, Virginia Evans, who appears to have attempted suicide, but Virginia resists their offers of help. Marge suspects that Virginia may have a baby somewhere and, when they go to her rooming house, they find a six-month-old boy being looked after by the male apartment manager. After the women establish that Virginia had mistakenly taken roach powder instead of calcium powder and therefore had not attempted suicide, Rod instructs them to take the baby to a hospital. Instead, they take him home with them, and when Hazel discovers the boy, they convince her to let them try to find the baby's father. They attempt to trick Virginia into revealing the father's name, but all they learn is that his name may be "Ed" and that he works for a trucking company. After Rod and Hazel allow Dale and Madge to interview various "Eds," they find Ed Poole, for whom Virginia had worked as a secretary until she met boxer Hal "Tuffy" Tucker, whom she married. Ed has not seen Virginia for several months, but when the women take him to see Virginia at the hospital, he tells her that he will find a place for her and the baby. Virginia informs the women that she broke up with Tuffy over a year before but he did not show up for the divorce hearing and does not know about their baby. Rod and Dale trace Tuffy to a gym, where he is training and encounter his manager, Charlie, and girl friend Hilary. To trap Tuffy, Dale poses as a potential manager but Hilary and Tuffy become involved in a fight over her attentions. Later, Dale tricks Tuffy into coming to their apartment, and Rod tips off Hilary that Tuffy is "breaking training" with Dale. Hilary goes to the apartment, and after causing a big scene, breaks up with Tuffy. Ed, posing as Dale's boy friend, then arrives and threatens Tuffy. Dale shouts for the police, who arrive in the persons of Roy and Madge. They all adjourn to the gym so that Ed can fight Tuffy in the ring. Between rounds, both groups exhort their fighters, and Hazel shows up with Virginia and the baby. Eventually, Ed knocks Tuffy out, the first fight he has ever lost. Manager Charlie then advises Tuffy to retire and he reunites with Virginia and the baby. Dale and Madge look forward to a long career on the force.

RELEASE DAY! WIND RIVER LAWMAN by Lindsay McKenna
WIND RIVER LAWMAN by Lindsay McKenna
Wind River Valley Series
The new novel from the bestselling author of Lone Rider.
Sometimes the war comes to you . . .
After serving as a Navy medic, Dawson Callahan is back in the States and ready to start over. Leaving his native Texas, he heads for the wide open spaces of Wyoming, where he finds work as a wrangler. True, he'll mainly be wrangling chickens—and wrangling Sarah Carter's granny, who's still spry, but in need of a little caregiving. But ranch work is ranch work, and it's hard to turn down a job offer from the beautiful Sheriff Carter—especially when she deputizes him as one of her lawmen.
Sarah loves her grandmother, but with her law enforcement career keeping her busy, they could both use some help from a strong, steady man. And policing Lincoln County has only gotten tougher since a merciless drug lord arrived in the area. When Sarah takes a bullet on the job, it's Dawson who comes to her rescue—and though they both thought they left war behind in Afghanistan, they'll do whatever it takes to protect what's theirs, even if it means facing down traumas they've buried for years. Because love isn't for the faint of heart . . .
Sarah's eyes widened. There on her personal computer the next morning, was a resume for the ad she'd placed! She quickly scanned the email.
'My name is Dawson Callaway. Enclosed is my resume' for your job.'
She sat at her office chair in her own small home that was a block from the courthouse building where the Sheriff's department was located. It was seven a.m. and she was due to go to work at eight a.m. The only thing good about being the sheriff is that she wasn't on a shift schedule, which she hated, but had done for too many years earlier. Trying to quell her excitement, she opened up the file that said: RESUME' on it.
Leaning down, looking at her Apple McIntosh laptop screen, she watched the resume' open up. As she rapidly scanned it, her heart beat a little harder in her chest. This man was a Texas born ranch wrangler, thirty years old, single and had been in the US Navy as a combat corpsman for over ten years before his enlistment was up.
What were the chances? Sarah let out a soft sigh escape from between her lips, staring at the resume', reading it again. Making sure she didn't miss anything. This sounded too good to be true. Was it? In her business as Sheriff, she saw the dregs and the worst of society. Not the best. Without thinking, she touched the screen with her fingertips. Dawson Callaway sounded perfect for the job but she cautioned herself. First, when she got to work she'd run a thorough research on him via law enforcement channels. There was no way she wanted a felon or someone with a bad teen background, working with her dearly beloved grandmother. No way. That was first. Next, after ruthlessly researching his background for law breaking issues, Sarah would contact a friend she had at the Pentagon. He would get her the man's DD-214 and that would fill in another huge blank about his entire military service, what kind of discharge he got, and if he had any issues within that time frame. People lied all the time. Or they told half truths or half lies, thinking it was all right. And it wasn't. She wanted to know everything about this Texan (if indeed he had been born in Amarillo, Texas) before setting up a meeting with him to pursue the possibility of being hired as Gertie's assistant.
She wished she had a photo of him. So, she ran a Google search on him and came up with nothing. That was strange. Most people nowadays had a social media account, and he had no Facebook page, not Twitter account…no…nothing. That raised a red flag up to a point. He was a US Navy medic, a combat trained one, assigned to a Marine Corps company. She was intimately familiar with the Corps because she'd joined at age 18 and left at age 22, but not before serving over in Afghanistan in Helmund Province, one of the most dangerous areas to have a deployment. Yes, every squad in a company had a Navy combat corpsman assigned to them. So that part fit and was accurate.
Sitting back, she wiped her face with her hands, feeling the weight and stress on her shoulders. Funny how she could let the stress in her Sheriff's side slide off and it was much less troublesome, than family stress. Family was personal as it got and Sarah understood why it was taking a toll on her. She dearly loved Gertie. And she wanted to protect her and find someone who was damn near an angel in quality, mentality and very compassionate, to aid her. And she knew just how long the odds were of finding a man like that.
Her mind canted to the past, to the Navy corpsman in their squad. He was kind, quiet and listened a lot, but didn't say much. Most of the ones she'd met in those years in the Corps, were all like that. They were someone you'd want at your side if you were bleeding out, knowing you were going to die. There was a streak of compassion in them, a humanity, that Sarah rarely found in anyone but the medical first responder world whether an EMT, paramedic or combat corpsman. There was no question that those in the medical service field were a certain personality type. She hoped with all her heart that Callaway possessed that same kind of personality, but she'd only find out if he passed the first series of rigorous searches. What did he look like? She was dying to find out because she had a knack for reading faces.

BACK COVER COPY:
Plucked from the depths of hell, former military sniper Reno Manchahi was hired by the government to kill a thief, but he had a mission of his own. Descended from a family of shape-shifters, Reno vowed to get the revenge he'd thirsted for all these years. But his assignment went awry when his target turned out to be a powerful seductress, a woman who risked everything to fight a potent evil.
They had a combustible connection, yet he struggled to reveal the truth about himself–his Apache upbringing, his Jaguar pride, his death plot. Soon, Reno had to transform himself into a true hero, accept this new love and conquer the enemy that threatened them all. He had to become a Warrior for the Light….
CHAPTER 1 of Unforgiven by Lindsay McKenna
One shot…one kill. The sixteen pound sledge hammer came down with such fierce power that the granite boulder beneath, shattered instantly. A spray of glittering mica exploded into the air and sparkled momentarily around the man who wielded the tool as if it were a weapon. Sweat ran in rivulets down Reno Manchahi's drawn, intense looking face. Naked from the waist up, the hot July sun beating down on his back, he hefted the sledge hammer skyward once more. Muscles in his thick forearms leaped and biceps bulged. Even his breath was focused on the boulder. In his mind's eye, he pictured Army General Robert Hampton's fleshy, arrogant fifty-year old features on the rock's surface. Air exploded from between this thinned lips as he brought the avenging hammer downward. The boulder pulverized beneath his funneled hatred. One shot….one kill…..
Nostrils flaring, he inhaled the dank, humid heat and drew it deep into his massive lungs. The only way he felt alive was to picture Hampton on every rock face he destroyed. Revenge allowed Reno to endure his imprisonment at a US Navy brig near San Diego, California. Sweat soaked his shoulder length black hair. Droplets of sweat were flung in all directions as the crack of his sledge hammer claimed a third boulder victim. Mouth taut, Reno moved to the next boulder. The other prisoners in the stone yard gave him a wide birth. They always did. They instinctively felt his simmering hatred, the revenge that was palpable in his cinnamon colored eyes, was more than skin deep. And they whispered he was different.
Reno enjoyed being a loner for good reason. He came from a medicine family of shape shifters. The genes of his heritage was to be able to turn from human into a jaguar at will. But even with this secret and power had not protected him–or his family. What life did he have left? His wife, Ilona, and his three year old daughter, Sarah, were dead. Murdered by Army General Hampton in their former home on USMC base in Camp Pendleton, California. The lusting sonofabitch had stalked his Hungarian born wife while he was deployed to Afghanistan to hunt down Taliban. Bitterness thrummed through Reno as he savagely pushed the toe of his scarred leather boot against several smaller pieces of gray granite that were in his way. A massive black and white striated granite boulder stood in front of him. The prisoners, all military, knew he'd want the big ones. They were happy to give them to Manchahi. They wanted him to take his rage out on the rocks–not on them. Everyone avoided him because he was 'different'.
