"I really am seriously downsizing "
Well it's definitely strictly mono only, so won't be usable with stereo records without spoiling them.
That looks a lot like a Ronette stylus to me - so, almost certainly yes. I think it's a crystal cartridge - so, if there is any output (!) it might be a bit high. Start with the volume low.
This is an early original Ronette crystal cartridge.
If it is working, and if it is the high-output version, it will be worth its weight in gold! However, the high-output version will not really be suitable for the Bush SRP31.
Thanks for replies and judging by your responses this looks to be a High Output so will opt for a Ronette 105 which if I recall is a medium output. Only issue now is remembering how to link up the 4 pin ends into two pairs.
Bear in mind what Techman says - it is strictly mono only. A repro stereo version 105 is available. It sounds ok but looks rather crude compared to the original. With a bit of care the body of a new cartridge will fit into the carrier of the old one which makes it look a lot better and allows it to fit better into arms that use a single screw fixing. Even if the cartridge does not work it is worth keeping it for that reason.
If you are using the repro 105 the pins for each channel are diagonally opposed. Not the first way you would try connecting itif you did not know!
Thanks Paul for refreshing my memory on the pin connection. Have an original 105 so will install. Have heard on this site that the repro version is a bit disappointing.
I have found the repro one to be ok. It needs 5g or so tracking weight but sounds fine. I bought a Goldring NOS one a while ago and the repro is better than that, possibly because the NOS one had deteriorated. It came from South Africa so I doubt that damp would have been a problem.
You need to do some modifications to the repro one to fit it into the original holder but it is worth it as it looks much better. In particular the selector knob on the repro is very crudely made. If you want to go down that route I can post the modifications needed.
The "newly" manufactured Ronette reproduction versions were made in Italy around 10 years ago. The first release was crystal and then ceramic ("ceramica"). In my opinion these sound thinner than the original Dutch made Collaro/Ronettes from the mid 1950s onwards. These were some of the finest crystal type ever made and have proven to be resilient and long lasting.
It might have been me defaming the Italian repro - I didn't like it. But that's not to say it won't suit a different RP.
I would be interested to know the history of the Ronette cartridges. The one I bought was in a Goldring/Ronette box. Will this actually be one of the Dutch ones?
Decca (or more likely Garrard, on their behalf) made a headshell specially for the Ronette crystal stereo cartridge. Pretty, isn't it? Sounds nice too.
Have heard on this site that the repro version is a bit disappointing.
I'm going to have to be brutally honest about these repro Ronette cartridges. I was nearly going to say they're total junk and should go straight in the nearest bin, but perhaps that's too 'brutal'. A few years ago I repaired a record player for someone and they also wanted a new stereo compatible cartridge fitting in place of an old Garrard GC8. They ordered and supplied the replacement cartridge for me to fit and it was one of these 105 copies. I didn't know how bad these were at the time and under the same circumstances now, I would never recommend anyone to buy or fit one. They may have the necessary technology to pick out the two channels and feed them to a stereo amplifier but they have the same lack of vertical compliance as the original mono only versions. On a heavily modulated test single it jumped on heavy bass and sounded worse than the old GC8 it replaced. You only have to look at the construction to note that the 'all-in-one' metal stylus arm is the same as the old mono version, so far as I can tell, anyway.
It all depends on how you value your records. It is a debatable subject as regards to exactly how much damage is done to a stereo record by playing it with a non-compatible cartridge, and how many times you'd have to play it with one before the damage would be audible on a basic standard recordplayer. A hi-fi enthusiast with a good quality system and finely tuned ears would probably be able to detect the damage after the record was played just the once with a non-compliant cartridge. The other point to note is that if you have a collection of records bought second hand from auctions and boot sales, then you wouldn't know what these records have previously been played on, and you may just accept the obvious crackle and distortion as just being an old worn record, rather than the fact it was played in the past on an old record player with a non-stereo compatible cartridge. It's really up to the individual, if you've got mint and valuable records, then these should really be played on a quality hi-fi system and NOT a standard recordplayer. If you've just got a stack of random well used and well played old records that you're not too worried about, then just get on and play them and enjoy them and don't worry too much about cartridges, compliance, and tracking weight etc. - the choice is yours at the end of the day.
The NOS stereo Ronette I bought has the identical stylus to the repro one.
I think that Techman makes a good point. These were never high compliance hi-fi cartridges and will have chewed up records when new. The technology is 60 years old or so and we should expect that sort of performance from them. If you want to get an old record player going again and looking original, that is fine but don't expect too much from them and don't play any LP you value on them.
My wife had/has a nice Marconi record player from the early 70s (I say has because it is still in our loft) It has a ceramic cartridge from the era which will have higher compliance than a turnover cartridge like the Ronette but you can still hear the wear when the records are played on proper hi-fi. By contrast my records of the same age which have always been played using a magnetic cartridge have no perceptible wear at all.
There seems to be mixed reviews on the Ronette reproduction, I bought one about 18 months ago and I found it to be absolutely useless you could see the grooves changing shade as the stylus chewed it's way through the vinyl.
I haven't bothered to by another.
I have bought two of these Ronette copy cartridges over the last few years, one stereo and the other mono.Both have been absolutely useless. I thought the first one was maybe faulty, and threw it out, but then foolishly bought another. Both had virtually no compliance, and on heavily modulated records jumped badly. Definitely wouldn't recommend them.
That was the first stereo cartridge I had back in 1958 ( I think it was ).
The records which I played with it still sounded OK on vastly superior systems I acquired in subsequent years.
The stylus fitted to the repros is dire, when compared to an original 105 stylus it can be seen that the metal shank is made from much thicker, and therefore stiffer, material. Also the quality of the tips is variable.
The rubber block on the original 105 and BF40 cartridges were very soft and pliant, in fact too much so, as many of them have disappeared up into the body of the cartridge. This, plus the very thin shank of the original stylus made for very compliant cartridges which performed well and were highly regarded in their time. Alas, the same cannot be said of the modern copies. As Electrogram has said, the quality of the tips is also questionable. On the 105 cartridge I bought, the reproduction was so bad, I thought the 78 and LP styli had been transposed.

ZAMBIA and Zimbabwe plan on selling US$440 million in equity stakes in the Batoka hydropower plants that form the centrepiece of the proposed US$4 billion dam that will straddle their border.
This is according to a document published by Ernst & Young Advisory Services Pty Limited, the countries' adviser. The Batoka Gorge hydropower project on the Zambezi River between the Kariba Dam and Victoria Falls will produce 2 400 megawatts of power once complete — more than either nation's current generation capacity. The African Development Bank is also advising the governments on the project, which might start producing electricity from 2023.


My co-worker once commented that I could be making the same amount of money working as a part-time nutritionist for fewer hours than I work as an early childhood educator.
When I decided to pursue a career in nutrition when I was in college it wasn't for the money, and now, when I am working in child development to pursue another passion of mine in the same place that my baby daughter attends "school," it isn't for the money either.
In a similar vein, I recently received an opportunity to work an additional childcare role on the weekends. While I am grateful for the extra income it provides, I would surely be happy if it provided more! But again, I'm not doing it primarily for the money. Yes, I want and need the extra income, but in addition to that, I've noticed my entire week is more energized and centered with this additional weekend shift. I feel blessed to be able to play this vital role in my community. I am happy to help and I am grateful for the lovely families I meet.
Our society places a lot of value on money. There are a lot of messages we receive, even subliminally.
Sometimes it's good to take a step back and ask ourselves: What truly makes us happy?

FlipTrends reveals feminine hygiene category grows 7 times
Thanks to Bollywood movies, several government and non-government programmes that have promoted menstrual hygiene through health awareness schemes, the product awareness of feminine hygiene products has expanded drastically in the county. However, awareness is only one step in the road to adoption. Enabled by Flipkart, access to such feminine hygiene products has been possible in the most remote markets. The category has grown by more than 4x in the last 3 months, with 5x growth in Tier 2 cities. Over the last year, the category has grown 7 times. Consumers are consistently buying women hygiene products on Flipkart, due to good selection, deal offerings and discreet packaging provided.
North takes the lead – Emerges 1st in terms of demand
The highest demand for hygiene products is from North and East regions of India, with Punjab, Haryana and UP contributing to more than half of the demand generation. There has been a 4x growth across all regions so far this year, with North growing 5x. East region contributes around 20%. The top 10 cities in terms of demand are: Ludhiana, Jalandhar, New Delhi, Assandh, Muzaffarnagar, Bathinda, Karnal, Kolkata, Bangalore and Patiala.
Takers for sustainable products on the rise
Environment conscious women have been opting for ecofriendly alternatives which has resulted in higher demand for ecofriendly brands such as Sirona and Pee-Buddy on the platform. Apart from cost effectiveness, minimal waste generation is one of the major driving factors behind the increasing adoption of alternatives to sanitary napkins such as menstrual cups and reusable cloth pads.
Sanitary Pads still the most sought-after product
Flipkart's FlipTrends reveal a 5x growth in the purchase of feminine hygiene products in the last 3 months on the platform. Out of the myriad products available in the menstrual hygiene category on Flipkart, the conventional sanitary pads still account for 80%. When it comes to tampons and menstrual cups, the cities which predominantly feature are from Tier 1 and metros: Kolkata, New Delhi, Bangalore, Ghaziabad, Patna, Pune, Amritsar, Ambala and Mumbai and Burdwan. Intimate care products (intimate wash, etc.), urination devices and menstrual cups see most takers after sanitary napkins. Known brands such as Whisper, Stayfree are still market leaders.

Good Bye Facebook – Hello Life!
Why would we do that? Well, the very principle of Wake Up! Message and why we initially opened a Facebook account is in essence the very reason for also closing it again… We know this may sound a bit odd at first. Simply put, we do not really support the way Facebook is being used and run, it's not idea of such a platform that concerns us, but more it's application.


I made Jennifer's boat neck top and LOVE it. I saw it and just knew I had to make it asap. First I had to go through some sewing machine difficulties, before getting into a good sewing place.
I've finally decided that my machine will not shir–I tried everything. It does NOT like elastic in its bobbin case. So sad, because it caused me to say some really mean and harsh things to her.(I did make this little sundress last year, but had to hand pull the elastic thread to get it to gather~ a total pain!) This left me with no other choice than to have a sewing affair with my friend's machine~an affair that may have to continue for a bit longer until I get shirring out of my system. Look! Shirred fabric! It was like magic~especially after adding some steam.
I made a few alterations to the top, that now, I'm wishing I hadn't. First, I don't like things close to my neck (I hate turtlenecks!) and decided to make more of a downward curve around the neck, then went further and also cut a slit in the front. Now the slit keeps opening and that is irritating too.Maybe I'll put a button on it to keep it closed. I don't know….
Now I want to make Heather Ross's Sundress and this Most Flattering Shirt Dress. I'm even looking at some of my old tops that could use some shirring.
This entry was posted in Clothing, Sewing and tagged clothes, Sewing, shirring, shirt, top. Bookmark the permalink.
Cute top! I am experimenting with shirring, too – making Heather Ross' Sundress. For your top's front slit (which I actually love as is), maybe another closure option is to make an inside liner for the placket area with some fusible interfacing and the same or complimentary fabric?


Taste, touch, sound, smell, sight: We've singled out some of our favourite hotels that stand out for their gastronomy, views and enriching experiences that make guests feel truly alive.
Dubrovnik is a destination that won't disappoint. Sights such as the fairytale-like fortress and the beautifully preserved Baroque, Gothic and Renaissance churches make this city on the sparkling Adriatic a feast for the eyes. For the most dazzling views of all, take a panoramic cable-car ride over the atmospheric, UNESCO World Heritage listed Old Town within its sturdy 16th-Century walls.
Adriatic Luxury Hotels all ooze character and, with their combination of stunning Dubrovnik locations, luxury interiors and glorious views, delight on every level.
With sea vistas from every room, fresh contemporary décor and sunset views from all its restaurants, the Hotel Dubrovnik Palace is a visual treat. But its appeal goes further; the air is deliciously scented by the neighbouring pine forest, while the gleaming spa with its steam bath, Finnish sauna, two outdoor freshwater pools and deeply comforting treatments is the place to rejuvenate as you soak in views stretching as far as the Elaphite Islands.
The Villa Orsula Dubrovnik, meanwhile, appeals to the palate with its gourmet Peruvian Adriatic fusion cuisine, served in the dreamy setting of a sea-view terrace draped with vines and perfumed by the fragrant gardens.
Alternatively, with its intoxicating combination of sea and Old Town views, the Hotel Excelsior Dubrovnik is an iconic and sumptuous place to stay within a 1913 royal villa, with a rich history of regal and celebrity guests ranging from Queen Elizabeth II to Elizabeth Taylor.
The Hotel Bellevue Dubrovnik also has an incredibly striking setting – this time on a 30-metre-high cliff on Miramare Bay, giving you the feeling you're aboard an ocean liner. Floor-to-ceiling windows make the most of its truly cinematic panoramas of the Dalmatian coast, whether from its sleek accommodation, the cossetting spa or the restaurants, including Vapor, recommended by The Michelin Guide for the second consecutive year.
It's all about location at the super-intimate Sala's Camp in a gloriously secluded area of Kenya's Masai Mara, very close to the border with Tanzania and hence offering to-die-for views of the Serengeti National Park. But what really fires up the senses is the camp's front-row position for witnessing the world-famous annual wildebeest migration, which roars past between June and September. Other sensory temptations are bush breakfasts as dawn rises over the plains, sundowners around a roaring fire, home-cooked dinners under the shimmering night sky, and snuggling up with a hot-water bottle in your chic safari tent, lulled into a richly deserved sleep by the sounds of the night all around you.
It's the setting that truly shines at The Ritz-Carlton Ras Al Khaimah, Al Wadi Desert. Cocooned in your pool villa in this secluded resort, you'll have the feeling of having escaped from reality into a world of discreet luxury and utter tranquillity. But it's not about zoning out; bespoke itineraries sure to captivate the senses include falconry, archery, nature drives and astronomy sessions under the glittering clear skies. And the dining is suitably spectacular – choose to feast on Arabic cuisine among the sand dunes or enjoy a tailor-made private dinner in an Arabian-style watchtower overlooking the desert. And for light bites there's also the rooftop Moon Bar – the perfect spot for sunset views and stargazing.
A member of Relais & Châteaux, Calabash Luxury Boutique Hotel is home to two of the best restaurants in Grenada as well as a spa offering blissful holistic treatments and wellbeing practices including yoga. For dining, alternate between Rhodes at Calabash with its inventive modern global dining based on local ingredients such as shrimp, marlin, lobster and Grenadian chocolate, and the Beach Club with its more casual menu including the likes of butterfish burger and seafood tapas. Breakfast is a sensation too – choose between dining on the balcony of your suite or on the beach with your toes tucked into that warm white sand.


There are just two months left until the start of the new tax year on April 6, making now the time to use up this year's ISA allowance, if you haven't already done so.
You can invest up to £11,280 into an ISA, of which up to £5,640 can be put into a cash ISA. The remaining sum, or even the full £11,280 if you prefer, can be invested in a stocks and shares ISA.
According to our recent MoneySupermarket poll, 52% of you still of you still haven't used your full ISA allowance for this year – but if you fail to before April 5, you'll never have the opportunity again as it can't be carried over into the next tax year.
But if you're still not sure whether you need a cash ISA, here are five good reasons why you should open one.
There are not many circumstances in which you can beat the taxman. But investing in an ISA is one of them.
Unlike a standard savings account, if you save money into a cash ISA, any interest you earn will not be taxed.
For example, on a standard savings account paying an annual equivalent rate (AER) of 2.00%, a basic rate taxpayer (20%) would only receive 1.60%. A higher rate taxpayer (40%) would earn even less at 1.20% and an additional rate taxpayer (50%) would get just 1.00%.
But with a cash ISA all parties would receive the full 2.00% AER.
If you opt for a stocks and shares ISA, any profits from investments are free of Capital Gains Tax (CGT). However, you will pay tax on dividends paid by shares in an ISA as they are automatically taxed at source by 10%.
Many people mistakenly believe that if you open a cash ISA you have to lock your money away for several years.
But cash ISAs are similar to standard savings accounts in that you can choose between an easy access cash ISA or a fixed rate cash ISA.
Easy access cash ISAs are ideal if you want to get instant access to your money whenever you need it. This means you can also move your money to a better-paying cash ISA at any time – providing your new ISA allows transfers in. Ask your new provider to do this for you so that you don't lose your ISA's tax-free status.
Do be aware though that if you have paid in your full ISA allowance and then withdraw money, you can't later top it back up, as you have already used up your allowance.
This also applies to smaller amounts. Let's say you have paid in £5,000 and later withdraw £1,000. You won't now be able to pay that £1,000 back into your ISA because this would take you over your current allowance of £5,640. Instead, you would only be able to pay in £640.
Right now, one of the best paying easy access cash ISAs is the Cheshire Building Society's ISA Saver paying 2.50% AER including a 2.00% bonus until 31 July 2014. Be prepared to move your money to another cash ISA after this period as the interest rate will drop as soon as the bonus expires. The ISA allows you to make as many withdrawals as you need to, penalty-free.
One drawback of the account is that it can only be operated by post. If you'd prefer an online option, the Barclays Loyalty Reward ISA pays 2.28% AER including a 0.25% bonus for 12 months. Again, you can make as many penalty-free withdrawals as you need to. But be aware you must be a Barclays current account holder or have saved at least £500 with the bank to qualify for the ISA.
In theory, if you choose a fixed rate ISA instead, you should earn a higher rate of interest as you will be locking away your money for a year or more. But at the moment, that's not necessarily the case.
The market-leading one-year fixed rate cash ISA is from the Mansfield Building Society, paying only 2.25% AER. And Santander's two-year cash ISA pays 2.50% AER – the same as the Cheshire Building Society easy access cash ISA. However, in this case the interest rate is fixed, not variable.
For further options, head over to our comparison service.
From April 6, 2013, you'll be able to keep even more of your savings away from the clutches of the taxman. That's because the annual ISA allowance will rise to £11,520 and again, up to half of this (£5,760) can go into a cash ISA.
But when you pay in your new bigger allowance will also count. If you pay it in on the first day of the new tax year on April 6 (to the Cheshire Building Society's cash ISA paying 2.50% AER), you will earn £144 in interest over the year. But if you wait until this time next year to pay in your allowance (so on February 6, 2014) you would have earned a measly £23.75 in interest.
You'll benefit even more if you act now to use this year's ISA allowance – and then top it up with your new one as soon as the 2013-14 tax year begins.
For example, if you put this tax year's allowance of £5,640 into the same Cheshire cash ISA on Wednesday, February 6, and then paid in your new ISA allowance of £5,760 in two months' time (on April 6) when the new tax year starts – a year later you would have accumulated £308.84 in interest.
But if you put this year's allowance of £5,640 into the same ISA on February 6 and didn't pay next year's allowance in until February 6, 2014, you would have earned only £188.59 in interest.
Paying in the full ISA allowance in one lump sum may be more fruitful but it isn't an affordable option for everybody. Fortunately, many cash ISAs will allow you to open them with as little as £1 – the Barclays Loyalty Reward ISA mentioned above is one example. Easy access cash ISAs also allow you to add to your funds whenever you can afford to.
Fixed rate cash ISAs are more restricting, however, as once you have paid in your initial deposit you usually can't make further deposits later on.
If you have never dabbled in the stock market before and fancy giving it a whirl, a stocks and shares ISA is a great place to start. You can put a range of investments into a stocks and shares ISA including individual company shares, funds holding shares or bonds, investment trusts, open ended investment companies (oeics) and exchange traded funds (ETFs). Head over to our stocks and shares ISA page for more information.
It's a good idea to speak to an Independent Financial Advisor (IFA) first, as he or she should be able to help you to choose the right investments for you. You will need to pay for this advice though.
Remember also that investing is not for the faint-hearted as there is a risk you may not get back as much as you paid in. However, on the flipside, you could get back a much higher return than simply saving into a cash ISA.
Putting away your money for five years or more will help your investments regain any falls that are made.

Q: Iphone-Display Records from and NsMutable Array Suppose i have a NSMutableArray with 20 objects.
On my viewDidLoad i want to show first 10 records, and click on a UIButton say NextButton i want to show the remaining records.
And when i click back it should go back to 10 records which was first shown on viewDidLoad.

A: You should divide yourMainArray as two arrays. After that you fill up elements into arrays and implement code as you want.
    NSMutableArray *arrayFirst10 = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
    NSMutableArray *arraySecond10 = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];

    for(int i=0;i<10;i++)

      [arrayFirst10 addObject:[yourMainArray objectAtIndex:i]];
    }

    for(int i=10;i<20;i++)
    {
      [arraySecond10 addObject:[yourMainArray objectAtIndex:i]];
    }

Try like this. It will be helpful to you.

NYPD's Fearmongers Are Arguing It's More Useful to Spy on 2nd Graders than Disrupt Real Plots
February 28, 2012 /4 Comments/in Intelligence, Terrorism /by emptywheel
Chuck Schumer, the NYDN, and the NYPost keep up their attacks on the AP's exposure of the NYPD's spying program. Increasingly, NYPD's fearmongers are getting cornered on the question of efficacy.
Schumer, rarely a courageous man, made full use of the passive when he tried to claim everyone knew the spying program makes NY safer.
There is nothing wrong with the NYPD collecting and assessing publicly available information from New York, New Jersey, the other 48 states or around the world in the effort to prevent another terror attack like 9/11. In fact, it is widely understood that the NYPD's actions have kept us safer. Looking at public information and following leads is perfectly acceptable as long as any one group, in its entirety, is not targeted based only on its religious or ethnic affiliation. [my emphasis]
Nevermind that the NYPD uses techniques–like informants and permanent cameras–that aren't exactly available to the public. Nevermind that Schumer's backing himself into a corner with his new caveat that profiling is okay so long as not the entire ethnic group is profiled (though arguably, they are).
Schumer proves unable to say, in the affirmative, that he knows this makes NY safer. And he ought to consider that question seriously.
More offensive is the NYPost's insinuation that the AP is just in this for a Pulitzer.
Columbia is also where they keep the Pulitzers in the off-season; American journalism's most treasured self-affirmation program is more or less run from the university's J-school. Since the awards are soon to be presented, and since the AP's lust for one is almost comically transparent, its show-the-flag campus visit is wholly unsurprising.
Strip away the emotive rhetoric and what's left is a series of stories over several weeks that show pretty clearly that the NYPD works very hard to keep the city safe — operating an aggressive and imaginative program, but staying well within both the law and the bounds of post-9/11 propriety from beginning to end.
Perspective matters.
At least twice in the decade before the NYPD program began, Islamist sleeper agents attacked New York City. The first time, six people died; the second, thousands.
Since then, the department has disrupted a number of Islamist-initiated plots; there is no way of telling how many more were never undertaken because the city is so aggressively anti-terrorist. And there have been no terror-related fatalities since 9/11.
That could change tomorrow — presumably the AP's Pulitzer prospects would tail off sharply if it did — but that would prove only that there are no guarantees in counterterrorism.
Here, the NYPost is just flat out wrong–or should be.
If there were a terrorist attack tomorrow, the inevitable commission would finally give the NYPD spying program the scrutiny it needs, scrutiny which the AP has tried to offer. And that commission will discover that the NYPD has spent its time spying on girls' and grade schools, hunting out Muslims at Jewish businesses, scamming whitewater rafting trips off of taxpayers.
Sure, such efforts have led to hyped busts of folks it took 31 months for the NYPD to coach how to drill holes into a pipe. Such busts only discredit Mayor Bloomberg, Ray Kelly, and ultimately everyone defending this program.
What those efforts didn't find were the real terrorist attacks. They didn't find Najibullah Zazi and they didn't find Faisal Shahzad–even though both were right under their nose. As the AP reported in December, the NYPD had both the mosque where Najibullah Zazi prayed and the Muslim Students Association where his accomplice, Adis Medunjanin, studied, under surveillance. But they missed that plot.
When New York undercover officers and informants were infiltrating a mosque in 2006, they failed to notice the increasingly radical sentiments of a young man who prayed there. Police also kept tabs on a Muslim student group at a local collage, but missed a member's growing anti-Americanism.
Those two men, Najibullah Zazi at the mosque and Adis Medunjanin at the school, would go on to be accused of plotting a subway bombing that officials have called the most serious terrorist threat to the United States since Sept. 11, 2001.
Worse, when the NYPD tried to catch up to the FBI's good work on the case, it ended up tipping Zazi off to the investigation, making it harder to find Zazi's accomplices.
Media reports quoting anonymous FBI officials have suggested the NYPD botched the case when it showed a picture of Najibullah Zazi, the Denver shuttle-bus driver at the heart of the investigation, to Ahmed Afzali, a Queens Imam and sometime police informant. Afzali, the reports say, first called Zazi's father Mohammed, then Najibullah himself, alerting them to the probe. The FBI, which had been monitoring the calls, was then forced to move immediately to arrest the Zazis — much sooner than it had planned.
When Zazi traveled to New York ahead of the anniversary of 9/11, the FBI as a precaution alerted the NYPD. That's when officers from the NYPD's intelligence unit consulted Afzali. "It looks like they did this on their own initiative — they really trusted this Imam," says the law-enforcement official. "But if they'd consulted with the bureau first, they'd have been told not to talk to anybody."
The NYPD was in Zazi's mosque, but it took the FBI to find the plot.
And as I reported last week, the NYPD also profiled the mosque that Mohammad Younis, the man whose hawala Faisal Shahzad used to fund his attack on Times Square.
On April 10, 2010, Mohammad Younis, of Centereach, NY, met with Faisal Shahzad at the Ronkonkoma train station and gave him $7,000 in cash. That money went to buy fertilizer, propane, and gasoline that Shahzad used to build a bomb he tried to set off in Times Square three weeks later–the last real Islamic terrorist attack launched on New York City.
It turns out the NYPD's profiling efforts got within 3 miles of Younis' house. They profiled his house of worship, the Islamic Association of Long Island. They profiled about 10 businesses in his community–though they focused on the halal restaurants, not the 7-11 where Younis used to work or the Lowes where he worked at the time he met with Shahzad. They also profiled a mosque and an auto repair shop in Ronkonkoma, the town where Shahzad met with Younis.
They never found Younis or his hawala activities, which he did not operate for profit.
It took an alert vendor, Duane Jackson, to prevent Shahzad's attack.
And then consider the possibility that the next big terrorist attack won't come from a mosque or a hawala. We're only calling the New Year's Day attack on a mosque–in which 70 people were praying–a "hate crime" and not a terrorist attack because the attacker, Ray Lazier Lengend, proved just as incompetent as most of the young men caught in NYPD's stings. The NYPD missed Lengend, too.
If the next terrorist attack comes not from a Muslim but a white supremacist like MLK Bomber Kevin Harpham, who made his violent intent clear in chat rooms, or a Timothy McVeigh, the commission that investigates the attack will look back at all the time and money NYPD wasted profiling Muslim grade schools and talk about the missed opportunity. It will note that, even now, it was clear all that spying had already missed the most significant attacks in the city. And the commission will note that the NYPD should have been looking for terrroists, not Muslims.
Mike Bloomberg, Chuck Schumer, the NYPost, the NYDN, and especially Ray Kelly ought to consider whether they'll be defending this program then.

lysias says:
The New York Post is owned by Rupert Murdoch's News International. The New York Daily News is owned by Mort Zuckerman.
Who is Chuck Schumer owned by?
Anybody know whether a private person can sue for the recovery of the funds used for this program in a qui tam suite under the False Claims Act? After all, this money was supposedly to be used to fight drug crimes, and that pretty clearly is not what the money was used for.
What Constitution? says:
Maybe the NYPD is on to something here. After all, if they monitor all the Muslims, that should really put a dent in Muslims' propensity for being Terrorists, right? And by a parity of reasoning, if they raised the legal driving age for Asians to, say, 19, we could cut down on the havoc caused by Asians' known propensity for being lousy drivers. And let's not forget left handers — they're pretty suspect. And to save money, we could reassign all the groups to specific locales … let's see, Japanese to internment camps, Jews to ghettos. You know, on reflection, these things have plenty of precedent! So what's the problem? And besides, since We Live in Dangerous Times, why not just microchip everybody so they can just be tracked and monitored? The only beneficiaries of a police "comprehensive stakeout and monitor operation" are the donut shops, isn't that right? Think of how many DeVry grads could be matriculated into gainful employment as "monitors" on a 5- or 10-to-1 surveillance program on the whole populace? Talk about Jobs, Jobs, Jobs!

Justice Dept. reviews complaints over NYPD spying
prostratedragon says:
The backing of NYPD spying on Muslims and also its support by Murdoch and others of similar ilk has been noted over in the UK, in the context of the suddenly re-boiling pot of the various newspaper spying investigations (allegations of tips from police, six-figure retainers on p.i.s, warnings to murder suspects, and the revelation that the actual number of people found in ledgers as possible hacking victims was literally over 100 times greater than the police had claimed is your warm-up).
The article mentions a prize to AP: as the link shows, that is a George Polk Award, to four AP reporters who have been bringing forth the NYPD spying story these last months. Another Polk winner in this year's class is the late Anthony Shadid.

The Big Sick is an uproariously funny comedy that had to tread a very difficult line since a major portion of the film takes place in a hospital and has one of the major characters in a coma. A film written by and starring Kumail Nanjiani ("Silicon Valley"), directed by Michael Showalter (Wet Hot American Summer), and produced by Judd Apatow (Trainwreck) should, on those names alone, have enough buy-in to get lovers of comedy into the theater. Once in the theater, though, this movie will surprise audiences with its tenderness and heart and then leave them straining to hear lines as laughter fills the auditorium. A tone-perfect, Apatow-style rom-COM, The Big Sick will be the summer date movie that has everyone falling out of their seats.
"The Honor Farm" wants to simultaneously be a coming of age story and a horror story, but cannot overcome its bland mediocrity. It's not focused enough to sustain interest, but it's short enough to not walk out on. That's the deceptive brilliance of the film; at under 80 minutes, by the time you realize just how meaningless the story is, it quickly comes to an end.

Green roof at Toronto City Hall is a hidden downtown escape
Atop City Hall sits a sanctuary that's hidden from the bustle of Nathan Phillips Square below.
While it's not located at the very apex of either curved towers, this secluded green space sits on City Hall's spacecraft-entrance of a podium, just past the winding ceremonial ramp that leads from the square to the garden's southern section.
The ceremonial ramp leads from Nathan Phillips Square to the City Hall podium green roof.
Open year round, Toronto's largest publicly accessible green roof was unveiled back in 2010 when the entire square was in the baby stages of its revitalization. It was a dramatic transformation from the grey landscape that was there before.
The green roof is a secluded retreat on top of City Hall.
Pre-dating the nine-jet water fountain feature and geometric glassy theatre stage, the 35,000-square-foot award-winning space serves as a lookout point and nature getaway at the same time.
At 35,000 square feet, the green space provides a great view of Nathan Phillips Square.
On any given warm day you'll find people sitting, often solo, on the minimalist ipe wood benches scattered around the roof. There are few better ways to escape the daily grind of municipal politics than sunbathing amidst beds of new blooms.
Not only is the green roof a visual reprieve for urban eyes, it's commendably practical as well.
The green roof acts provides thermal and sound insulation for City Hall.
Designed by the green-centric firm PLANT Architects, the trays of pre-grown plants forming the lawn improves — among many other things — the thermal and sound insulation at City Hall (muffling any angry yelling coming from inside council chambers).
A path rounds the side of City Hall and you leads you through the garden.
The modular system also helps boost habitat space for insects and birds — and indeed you'll probably spot several sparrows nestling comfortably in the linear fields of reed grass and the sedum mosaic.
Open year round, the rooftop's variety of blooming plants changes per season.
Follow the paved courtyard that curves around the chamber and you'll be able to see the fields shift from orange and yellow in the south to pinks and purples in the north, inspired by the textured colour blocks of Polyphony (1932) by Bauhaus visionary Paul Klee.
At night the light columns give the podium green roof a subtle glow that can be seen from neighbouring buildings.

Five years at USA Today
LAS VEGAS -- Terence Crawford, already a two-division world titleholder and the 2014 fighter of the year, has been hailed by many as America's next big boxing star.
He went a long way toward living up to those lofty accolades after taking apart Viktor Postol in a masterful performance. Crawford won by unanimous decision and unified two junior welterweight world titles before 7,027 on Saturday night at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.
Crawford and Postol, both undefeated titleholders in their primes, were universally regarded as the two best 140-pounders in the world coming into the fight. With the victory, Crawford staked his indisputable claim to division supremacy and set himself up for much bigger business, possibly against Manny Pacquiao.
Crawford, who scored two knockdowns in the fifth round, won going away on all three scorecards: 118-107, 118-107 and 117-108. ESPN.com also scored the fight 118-107 for Crawford, who figures to rise on the mythical pound-for-pound list with this performance.

"I just stick to what I know, boxing," Crawford said. "Everybody kept saying I was running from him, but that wasn't true. I asked for the fight.
"I feel like I get better every fight. Viktor Postol is a great champion and he was dodged for a reason, but I ain't the type to duck and dodge anyone."
The victory was huge for Crawford (29-0, 20 KOs). Going into the bout, Top Rank promoter Bob Arum said the winner would be one of two leading candidates, along with welterweight titleholder Jessie Vargas (27-1, 10 KOs), to land a pay-per-view main event against Pacquiao, who is coming out of a brief retirement, on Nov. 5 at the Thomas & Mack Center.
Postol had no answers for Crawford on Saturday.
"I thought it was a good fight between two technicians, but he was quicker than me," Postol said through a translator. "He is one of the best fighters in the world. I just didn't have the answers for him."
Freddie Roach, Postol's trainer, said: "He was just too fast for us. I was surprised how fast and how good he was. I'm very impressed with his talent."
Crawford took time to gloat over the win, praising his trainer, Brian McIntyre.
"Freddie Roach and Postol said that Freddie would outcoach my coach, but you tell 'em who got outcoached tonight," Crawford said.

Added McIntyre: "The game plan was to keep Postol's legs moving, and that took away his jab and right hand. And they told me I wasn't on Freddie Roach's level. ... I had the better fighter."
The fight began slowly as both men looked to get a sense of each other. But Postol, who is 5-foot-11 and held a 3-inch height advantage, appeared to tower over Crawford, who struggled to find his range early. Crawford, 28, of Omaha, Nebraska, fired plenty of jabs, but virtually all of them missed because he could not get inside the longer Postol.
After three technical rounds, the action heated up in the fourth, when Crawford seemed to hurt Postol, 32, of Ukraine, with a hard left hand to the head, bringing to life the pro-Crawford crowd, which began to chant, "Omaha! Omaha!"
Crawford, who retained his title for the third time, appeared to have figured out Postol by the fifth round. He landed a left hand that forced Postol (28-1, 12 KOs) to touch the mat with his right knee for a knockdown. Later in the round, Crawford landed a powerful left hand that sent him into the ropes and forced him to touch his gloves to the mat to keep his balance; referee Tony Weeks called another knockdown.
After the round, McIntyre told Crawford, "He ain't got no legs no more, he ain't got no legs after that knockdown."
The fifth round was the turning point of the fight. Before that round, all three judges had the fight 38-38. Then Crawford won all but one round on one card the rest of the fight.
"I caught my rhythm and I knew everything I would do from there on (after the fifth round)," Crawford said. "He's the type of fighter that has to be set to punch, so I kept his feet moving, kept him off balance. Every time I connect with a solid shot, I was hurting him."
Valdez demolishes Rueda in two rounds, wins title
Crawford, who switched from right-handed to southpaw early in the fight, rocked Postol with a left hand in the sixth round -- another clear round Crawford won.
"I went southpaw and took his jab away," Crawford said. "I jabbed over his jab. My right hand caught his jab."
Crawford continued to dominate at the start of the eighth round, when he landed a clean right hand to drive Postol back. Later in the round, he knocked Postol off balance with a hard jab and then landed another flurry of shots, including a left hand, that nearly dropped him.
Crawford nearly dropped Postol again in the ninth round with a left hand.
A frustrated Postol, who made $675,000, resorted to rabbit punching in the 11th round. He nailed Crawford with a right hand behind the head, for which Postol was penalized one point, merely adding to Crawford's overwhelming advantage.
As Crawford, who earned $1.3 million, toyed with Postol in the 12th round, he taunted him, stuck his tongue out and also lashed him with hard punches, eliciting roars from the crowd as the fight ended. HBO will replay the pay-per-view fight next Saturday at 10:15 p.m. ET/PT.
Crawford was going for a knockout in the final round as he strafed Postol, who knocked out Lucas Matthysse in the 10th round to win a vacant title in a big upset in October and was making his first defense.
"He told me 'come on,' so I said, 'Let's go' and he retreated," Crawford said.
After the fight, talk quickly turned to the possible showdown with Pacquiao (58-6-2, 38 KOs), the Filipino great and boxing's only eight-division titleholder.
"If Bob Arum wants that fight and my coaches want that fight, that's something we'll talk about later," Crawford said. "I let my coaches handle that. I am a fighter and I will fight anybody. I'm happy and I'm about to go on vacation. We not worried about Manny Pacquiao right now."
But Crawford made one thing clear -- if the fight happens, he will insist that Pacquiao, who has been fighting as a welterweight for years, come down in weight to challenge him for his title belts at junior welterweight.
"It will be at 140," Crawford said.

BRUSSELS (AP) — Two men have been charged with offenses related to the Brussels bombings, and three others have been detained in Brussels in connection to the Paris attacks, Belgian authorities said Tuesday.
The Belgian Federal Prosecutor's office said the two who have been charged, identified only as Smail F. and Ibrahim F., were involved in renting an apartment in the Etterbeek area of Brussels that served as a hideout for the bomber who attacked the Brussels subway on March 22 as well as a suspected accomplice.
It said the detention of the three related to the Paris attacks followed a morning search in Uccle, an upscale district of the Belgian capital. A judge will decide Wednesday whether the three people should remain in custody, it said. It said no further information would be made public about the search.
Brussels was home to many of the attackers who struck the French capital Nov. 13, killing 130 victims. According to Belgian and French investigators, the same cell was behind the March 22 suicide bombings that killed 32 victims at the Brussels Airport and in the Brussels subway.
An investigating magistrate on Monday ordered Smail F., born in 1984, and Ibrahim F., born in 1988, held on charges of participating in the activities of a terrorist group, terrorist murder and attempted terrorist murder as perpetrators, co-perpetrators or accomplices, the prosecutors' office said in a statement.
Prosecutors could not immediately be reached for further comment, but state-run RTBF broadcasting, citing information form unspecified sources, reported the two suspects were brothers, and that the older sibling had rented the apartment on the Rue des Casernes, while the younger brother helped empty and clean it following the attacks.
Belgian police searched the Etterbeek apartment Saturday but found no weapons or explosives.
The statement from prosecutors said the investigation "is continuing actively day and night."

Il Lockheed AC-130, noto anche come Angelo della Morte (Death Angel), è un quadrimotore a turboelica impiegato come cannoniera volante pesantemente armata per l'attacco al suolo, in servizio presso l'United States Air Force dalla fine degli anni sessanta fino ai giorni nostri. L'aereo è una variante del C-130 da trasporto costruito dalla Lockheed e viene convertito dalla Boeing in cannoniera.

Il velivolo è in dotazione solo all'USAF che lo ha impiegato nella guerra del Vietnam e nella guerra del Golfo, dove peraltro uno di questi aerei è stato abbattuto. Durante la guerra del Vietnam furono persi 6 AC 130.

Attualmente sono in servizio due versioni denominate AC-130H Spectre e AC-130U Spooky. Gli armamenti di bordo sono di diverso tipo e variano da un cannone Gatling da 20 mm fino a un obice da 105 mm. L'equipaggio è composto da dodici o tredici persone, tra cui 5 sono ufficiali (due piloti, navigatore, ufficiale addetto alla guerra elettronica e direttore del tiro) affiancati da altri membri dell'equipaggio che ricoprono i ruoli di tecnico di bordo, operatori alle console elettroniche e armieri.

Le cannoniere AC-130 vengono utilizzate per il Close Air Support (CAS), l'interdizione aerea e per la protezione delle forze. Il ruolo CAS consiste nel supporto alle forze di terra, scorta ai convogli e operazioni nelle aree urbane. Le missioni di interdizione aerea sono condotte contro obiettivi pre pianificati in profondità o contro bersagli di opportunità. Le missioni di "force protection" includono la difesa delle basi aeree e di altre installazioni. Le squadriglie di AC 130 sono basate a Hurlburt Field nel nord-ovest della Florida e sono parte dell'Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC), parte dello Special Operations Command (SOCOM).

Storia

Durante la Guerra del Vietnam, fu selezionato il C-130 Hercules per rimpiazzare l'AC-47 Gunship I (derivato dal C-47 Skytrain e noto come Spooky o Puff the Magic Dragon) grazie alla sua maggiore autonomia e capacità di trasportare munizioni.

Nel 1967, il velivolo JC-130A USAF 54-1626 fu selezionato per la conversione al prototipo di cannoniera AC-130A. Le modifiche vennero introdotte in quell'anno presso la Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, dalla Aeronautical Systems Division. Venne installato al portellone anteriore un sistema a visione diretta night vision telescope, un precursore dei moderni forward looking infrared (FLIR) nella parte anteriore del carrello sinistro e sul lato sinistro alcuni cannoni Gatling fissi puntati verso il basso e all'indietro. Il Wing Commander dell'USAF realizzò manualmente presso il laboratorio avionico della base, un prototipo del sistema di calcolo e controllo analogico per il tiro. Le prove in volo con il prototipo si svolsero inizialmente presso la base Eglin Air Force Base, seguite da ulteriori modifiche e campagne di prova. Nel mese di settembre 1967, l'aereo venne certificato "pronto al combattimento" e inviato in volo alla base Nha Trang Air Base, nel Vietnam del sud, per seguire un programma di test per 90 giorni. In seguito ai successi registrati durante le prove, venne costruito un piccolo numero di AC-130A equipaggiati in modo similare e con un sistema di controllo del tiro prodotto in serie. La cannoniera 54-1626 originale è esposta al museo dell'USAF.

Seneca College Gets Faster Insights from Disparate Data with Augmented Analytics
The Opportunity: Create A Data-Driven Organization to Improve Student Success
Seneca College of Applied Arts and Technology is one of the largest colleges is Canada with 10 campuses across the greater Toronto area and 26,500 full-time and 70,000 part-time students. Cristian Durca, Director of Information Solutions, manages all of Seneca's software applications, including campus solutions, learning management systems, and internal finance and HR applications. He was looking for a way to improve access to data and get faster insights from all systems to enhance effectiveness of the business groups and deliver ad hoc reporting to the executive level. Data enables the college to improve student success by understanding the evolution of students from application to graduation and beyond.
Challenges: Time to Insights, Ad hoc Query, and Disparate Data
Seneca's data challenges were extensive: the BI reporting system tied to their ERP implementation had canned reports not relevant to their business, it was difficult to customize content, and it took a days to create and publish even one report to production.
In addition, executives frequently had ad hoc requests for information that required a fast way to analyze many data elements and explore different metrics on the spot with them. And each department had specific requirements for the performance metrics they wanted to track that required a flexible way to visualize data.
Finally, data is located in multiple source systems, including their ERP, the learning management system, as well as cloud and custom applications. Without a centralized data warehouse, their next analytics system needed to connect to all their data sources.
"With Tellius automated data discovery, we've cut down the time to analyze data and present answers to executives and department administrators from days to minutes."
– Cristian Durca, Director of Information Solutions, Seneca College
Why Tellius
Augmented Analytics. Cristian's team saw the software automatically discover insights from data that the system was not trained on. In addition, search-driven analytics would enable business users to get answers quickly and without help from IT.
Architecture. The Tellius architecture offered the fast performance they were looking for with in-memory data processing, allowed them to connect and bring data together from multiple sources, and could scale well beyond their target of 100s of GB of data.
Ease of use. It was very easy for Cristian's team to build presentations with data visualizations quickly and with little training. It was also easy for the executives and department heads to interact with the data and get answers to their own questions.
"Tellius improves data access for business users and analysts, easily answering new questions and revealing new insights with little or no training."
Augmented Analytics for the Win
Automated key driver analysis was critical to helping Cristian's team optimize the student admission process. Within minutes of data analysis, the software revealed which parts of the process was lagging behind, which areas were doing well, and which students were most likely to enroll. The findings were eventually confirmed by the business and was a win for the team.
Automated data discovery will be increasingly important to Seneca as they bring more data from disparate sources into their analysis. Augmented analytics will enable them to easily identify patterns and anomalies hidden in their data across the student journey to help them improve the student experience.
Search-driven analytics is key to building a data-driven culture at Seneca. In addition to the interactive dashboards and reports that every department uses to monitor their key performance metrics, BI search gives administrators and executives a way to quickly answer new questions on their own.

Steven and his best friend Russell are back!
When Russell's dog, Rodney Rodent, jumps into a mural to chase a demonic-looking gnome and disappears, the Flint Future Detectives are on the case. With the secret password (Bow-wow-wow yippee yo yippee yay!) Steven, Richelle, and Russell enter the mural too, only to find the mysterious Mr. Chickee on the other side. To find a way out, the detectives must complete a mission--finding Rodney Rodent. And that means they're in some wild adventure!
As Steven says, "I second that emotion."

Ladies Who Punch
Courageous women change history and remould our culture. For centuries, rebel ladies have been punching up, fighting for freedoms and equality, challenging the world order. Today, the next generation continue the fight, boldly marching, banners flying, into a brighter future.
And yet, women's contributions are routinely marginalised, squeezed aside by the usual cast of pale, male and stale characters. Determined to redress the balance, veteran journalist and author Yasmin Alibhai-Brown sets lesser-known names alongside the most famous, celebrating fifty daring, courageous, indomitable women. There's Anne Lister, the lesbian landowner; Sophia Singh, the forgotten suffragette; detective superintendent Shabnam Chaudhri, the first Asian/Muslim to hold that role in the Met; and Harriet Wistrich, the superlative human rights lawyer. There's Reni Eddo-Lodge, Caroline Criado Perez, Shazia Mirza; the list goes on.
Featuring interviews with the women themselves, this refreshing compendium of fearless ladies is a fortifying tonic, reviving the stories of women lost to history and cheering on those who will lead the way to a more equal tomorrow.
A brilliant collection of women of our time and in the past.
– Mishal Husain
This fantastic book is a true celebration of revolutionary women of all ages, backgrounds and concerns. Told with passion, heartfelt sincerity and thought-provoking insight, Ladies Who Punch gives us a welcome reminder that, though we've come a long way in the fight for equality, our work is not yet done.
