Umm, I have a question... Does anyone know how to make album art covers for the iPod Touch? I just bought one yesterday and now I'm trying to sort my music library and album art for all my shiznit would be great. :D
Meme! I can't remember on whose journal I saw this last:
You are in a mall when the zombies attack. You have:
1. one weapon.
2. one song blasting on the speakers.
3. one famous person to fight alongside you.
1. Dude, the Elder Wand. But only if I am its true master, mwahahahaha.
2. Snakes on a Plane by Cobra Starship. So catchy! And snakes are totally like zombies.
3. SamandDean because they're, like, one entity, you can't have one without the other.
Will post big_bang_hd art later. Now I must go and teach my sister how to dive. OMG. *makes a face*

Marian Price Media Blackout
Saturday May 04, 2013 11:17 by Brian Clarke - AllVoices
Two Year British Political Internment
On March 14th, 2013 Provisional Sinn Féin MLAs Jennifer McCann and Sean Lynch, met with Vice royal Theresa Villiers, regarding the continued internment of Marian Price and called for the immediate release of Marian Price according to MLA Jennifer McCann. Since that time there has been a complete media print blackout on the political internment of Marian Price.
Marian Price News Blackout
On March 14th, 2013 Provisional Sinn Féin MLAs Jennifer McCann and Sean Lynch, met with Vice royal Theresa Villiers, regarding the continued internment of Marian Price and called for the immediate release of Marian Price according to MLA Jennifer McCann.
Ms. McCann said, “The meeting followed a visit that Martin McGuinness and myself had recently with Marian Price and the presentation made by Martin at her parole hearing last week.
At the meeting with Theresa Villiers, Martin Guinness made it clear, that Ms Price was not a threat to the public and that she should be released without further delay.
I gave a detailed account of the deteriorating condition of Marian Price's health, which has been added to by the recent death of her sister Dolours Price.
I also challenged the decision to re-imposing her life term licence especially given that she was granted bail and urged Theresa Villiers, to accept that Ms Price is entitled to due legal process. She should be tried in a court of law or released.”
Since this statement was made public, there has been a news blackout with regard to Marian Price, with all written material published censored. A Google search will confirm this. Inter agency communiques on Marian Price are also being manipulated, along with material on both Twitter and Facebook. It is the responsibility of ethical news agencies to investigate this matter immediately and confirm the welfare of Marian Price publicly, as there considerable public concern for Marian's welfare and the exercise may be further punishment to the many people concerned worldwide.
Media Blackouts like political internment are act of war that neither belong ina genuine democracy or in peace time. The Irish peace process has been considerably undermined by the British Tory Government since coming to power.
According to Wikipedia a Media blackout refers to the censorship of news related to a certain topic, particularly in mass media, for any reason. A media blackout may be voluntary, or may in some countries be enforced by the government or state. The latter case is controversial in peacetime, as some regard it as a human rights violation and repression of free speech. Press blackout is a similar phrase, but refers specifically to printed media.
Media blackouts are used, in particular, in times of declared war, to keep useful intelligence from the enemy. In some cases formal censorship is used, in others the news media are usually keen to support their country voluntarily as in the UK system in the Second World War.
Historical Media Blackouts
Some examples of media blackout would include the media bans of southern Japan during the droppings of the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and the lack of independent media correspondence from Iraq during the Persian Gulf War.
During World War II, the US Office of Censorship sent messages to newspapers and radio stations, which were acted on by recipients, asking them not to report any sightings or explosions of fire balloons, so the Japanese would have no information on the balloons' effectiveness when planning future actions. As a result the Japanese learned the fate of only one of their bombs, which landed in Wyoming, but failed to explode. The Japanese stopped all launches after less than six months.
The press blackout in the U.S. was lifted after the first deaths from fire balloons, to ensure that the public was warned, though public knowledge of the threat could have possibly prevented the deaths. News of the loss of over 4,000 lives when UK ship RMS Lancastria was sunk during the war was voluntarily suppressed to prevent it affecting civilian morale, but was published after it became known overseas.
Contemporary Media Blackouts
A media blackout was used during the 2005 New York City transit strike to allow for more effective contract negotiation between the two sides of the dispute. Most typically, the more freedom of the press that any particular country has, and the more sensational the story, the more likely it is that at least one news organization will ignore the "blackout" and run the story.
The 2008 abduction of Canadian journalist Mellissa Fung was given a media blackout to assure her safe return. All media sources obliged making the Canadian public unaware of the fate of Fung.
In 2008, the fact that Prince Harry of Wales, third in line to the British throne, was serving on active duty in Afghanistan was subject to a blackout in the British media for his own safety. He was brought home early after the blackout was broken by foreign media.
On June 22, 2009, when news came that New York Times reporter David Rohde had escaped from his Taliban captors, few knew he had even been kidnapped, because for the seven months he and two Afghan colleagues were in the Taliban's hands, The Times kept that information under wraps. Out of concern for the reporter's safety,
The Times asked other major news organizations to do the same;NPR was among dozens of news outlets that did not report on the kidnapping at the urging of Rohde's colleagues. Kelly McBride, who teaches ethics to journalists at the Poynter Institute, says she was "really astounded" by the media blackout. "I find it a little disturbing, because it makes me wonder what else 40 international news organizations have agreed not to tell the public," she tells NPR's Melissa Block. McBride says the blackout could hurt the credibility of news organizations. "I don't think we do ourselves any favors long term for our credibility when we have a total news blackout on something that's clearly of interest to the public," she says.
In 2009, on the 20th anniversary of Tiananmen Square protests of 1989, a number of social media websites were made in accessible and foreign television reception disrupted in China.
Some media critics have questioned whether the 2000 Wichita Massacre received little to no coverage in the mainstream media due to political correctness regarding the race of the perpetrators and the victims. Such critics also cite the 2007 Murders of Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom in Knoxville, Tennessee.
On January 18, 2012, Wikipedia itself participated in a media blackout to protest SOPA."

The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), on Sunday in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital advised the Federal Government tell Nigerians through mapped out policies and programmes how it would revive the country’s economy.
Ayuba Wabba, the NLC President, told NAN that well defined policies should be formulated to address the various economic challenges confronting the nation.
“The challenge in the economy is obviously monumental, if you look at all the indices in the economy, you will know that we are actually in for difficult time.
“The continuous depreciation of the currency in recent times at the parallel market and the downward trend in the global oil price, call for re-think.
“I think it is time for us to be determined as a people, and I think it is important for our political leaders to look at other options of how to respond to these issues.
“We need very sound economic policies that will address the country’s challenges, and part of it is to diversify our sources of revenue.”
Wabba urged the government to fashion out ways of boosting internal revenue, adding that it should include payment of tax for any goods purchased. “I have said on different occasions that it is only Nigerian workers that are paying the correct taxes to government coffers.
“The multinational companies and the political leaders who are making billions of naira are not paying the correct taxes. “I think it is time for government to take the issue of taxation seriously, if you have stocked monies in the banks, you need to pay taxes on the monies.
“We need to pay all manner of taxes just like in some other parts of the world, where people are paying tax on everything purchased because it will generate revenue internally.”
He, however, said that there were a lot of loop holes in the process of tax collection in the country, which needed to be corrected.
The NLC president said that the importation of unnecessary products into the country had put pressure on the country’s currency. “This is because we need dollars to import such products and this has put high demand on foreign exchange.
“I think, we need to prioritise what we need to import as a country in the economic policy of government. “Anything we can produce in Nigeria, there is no need to import it but rather encourage our local manufacturing companies to produce it instead of relying solely on importation.
“This is going to reduce pressure on the demand for foreign currency, including the issue of the importation of refined oil products.
“This is because one area that takes the large chunk of our foreign exchange is the continuous importation of refined oil products.”
Wabba urged the government to accord priority to agriculture as well as exploit solid minerals that were in abundance in the country.
He said this would create market opportunities for some of the products to be exported, as well as boost the nation’s economy.

Depression, Anxiety & Christian Spirituality
"my soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death"
Over the last decade I've had seasons of real struggle with the wellbeing of my mind. Depression and anxiety have been very real, very dark realities for me on a regular basis during this time and I've learnt a huge amount about myself, the body and intimacy with God through it all. Only recently have I discovered there are genetic dietary roots to the issues I've faced in this area which has helped my mind hugely when they come in my present. But for almost 8 years I lived without that knowledge, deeply frustrated and confused to why I would go under the heavy weight for sometimes months at a time.
What I'm going to share with you in this post is what I learn't when I was utterly disoriented by a struggle that flew in the face of my faith, my love for Jesus and my own mind. Depression and anxiety can strike the most faithful christian and have no prejudice for character, strength or age. It's entirely possible to be intimate with Jesus through it all and they're not always manifestations of our inner selves or circumstances. Even when they are, they're still safely in the bounds of a healthy christian spirituality if we know how to navigate it well.
Jesus himself was called 'The Man of Sorrows' by Isaiah and suffered constant strain at the hands of the religious leaders of his day. We read in Matthew that he was depressed and anxious almost to death before his crucifixion. Paul experienced this same overwhelming fear and anxiety in Asia and even talked about his "daily anxiety for the church" in his discourse on how his suffering qualifies him to be an apostle. Just as the bible talks about not sinning in our anger, we can also be free from sin in our moments of depression and anxiety. Jesus said, "In this world you will have trouble, but take heart!I have overcome the world!" (John 16:33).
So, here are four ways I've learnt to "fear not" and to allow Jesus to overcome in the midst of my troubles.
1. Anxiety & depression do not equate to, nor are they necessarily the result of, seperation from god.
Jesus himself suffered from a bout of despairing depression at least once. In the garden of Gethsemane we find Jesus, desperate under the weight of sorrow in foreseeing his gruesome death actually asking God to make a way out for him. This is the incarnate Word we're talking about here who for this very reason came to the earth. If Jesus can be God, perfect and willing and still experience circumstantial depression and still be pleasing to God, then so can we, and if Christ himself can experience that then we know it's also not the result of God's presence leaving us. We can undoubtably make decisions that lead us into dark places, but even there we can find the beauty and tender grace of Jesus. Friend, you are not alone.
2. Anxiety & depression are not forever.
One of the most liberating things I ever heard someone teach on anxiety was to let it wash over you, don't fight it, just let it happen. Practicing that in my life began an empowering change. Often, fighting the onslaught of these emotions can be more exhausting than the emotions themselves. Remind yourself that it will pass, it has before and it will again. I am a personal testimony that even months and years of the darkest nights will pass eventually and if that's not enough, don't forget that Jesus rose from his grave and so will you.
3. Worshipping God in that place is not denial or escapism, its true freedom.
In the dark night of the mind one of the hardest things to do is worship God but it's the most powerful medicine in our spiritual cabinet. The Psalms are full of these moments and Jesus himself did the same in Gethsemane when he simply prayed "Not my will Father, but yours be done." What worship does is tell our circumstances who they have to submit to. Sometimes it changes the fabric of those very circumstances and sometimes it doesn't but in the least it sings with the poet Micah "Do not gloat over me O my enemies, though I fall I shall rise again, though I sit in darkness the Lord will be a light to me" (7:8). Many times, as I've forced myself to simply declare who God is I have had a peace flow through me. A simple way to start this is to say, "God, you are the God of my every breath and thought. You are the God of my anxiety, the God of my night, the God of my emotions. You are not limited by what I feel, I worship you as the Lord of all of it."
4. The presence of joy does not NECESSITATE the absence of anxiety.
The presence of the Holy Spirit within us is not in the absence of ourselves and the fruit of the Spirit is not in the absence of our natural human emotions. Just because you're experiencing grief, pain, depression or anxiety in your physical body doesn't mean you can't experience the fruits of the Spirit in your own spirit. Those fruits are a permanent promise which entered our reality through Pentecost. This was the biggest game changer for my anxiety attacks last year. I began to pause and seek inwardly the peace of his Spirit that was already there and amidst that anxiety I would refuse to talk or think about it as part of my identity. What is more true than my feelings is the promise of Christ that he is within me, and though he himself knows sorrow and grief, it was never in the absence of joy and peace. Strangely enough, and I am a testimony to this, it's entirely possible to live in the tension of both.
So, we don't have to fear our dark nights of the soul as some kind of mark against our spirituality. In fact, we could even see it as our "sharing with Christ in his suffering in order that we may share in his glory", our sorrow to the point of death connects us with Jesus and creates intimacy with him if we will allow it to. We can share with him that now we can understand even just a taste of what the cross must have been like for him and we can worship him through that moment. We should never seek or glorify these moments of darkness in our spiritual walks but we don't need to fear them as something strange or unexpected either.

Once again, we are knocking on the door of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for another bailout. Once again, we are required to inject Rs400 billion into the power sector as we did back in 2013.
Why are we stuck in this vicious cycle despite consistent economic expansion over the last many years? Why do we get sucked into the so-called debt trap time and again? Why does every government have to take loans to keep the economy going? As per the IMF’s latest mission report, we need to generate more revenues and focus on overdue structural reforms, particularly those concerning state-owned enterprises (SOEs), to not only stabilise the economy but also foster sustained and inclusive growth.
Cumulative losses of SOEs, including PIA, Pakistan Steel Mills, PTV and Railways, over the last five years have surpassed Rs1 trillion. With its overall losses of Rs400bn, PIA alone is costing the exchequer Rs2bn a month.
SOEs suffer mainly because of two reasons. First, unlike private enterprises concerned solely with financial profitability, SOEs are supposed to participate in other socio-economic activities, such as job creation, provision of subsidised products and services and development of competitive priority markets. Second, instead of the chain of command, SOEs are controlled by more than one entity. Consequently, their management struggles to achieve conflicting objectives set by these multifarious stakeholders.
The value of some sovereign wealth funds exceeds even the sponsoring country’s GDP
To counteract, governments can either put SOEs up for sale or create an effective autonomous structure driven by an incentive-based performance evaluation system. While conventional privatisation has been on the cards for addressing SOEs’ woes, the PTI-led government has explicitly eliminated it as an option. In its manifesto, the party had voiced its intentions of revamping SOEs by “creating a [sovereign] wealth fund, [ensuing] aggressive de-politicisation, and through effective performance management of capable and autonomous leadership”.
Before debating how this “wealth fund” can be a cure-all for SOEs, we need to understand what it actually is. The Sovereign Wealth Fund Institute (SWFI) states: “A sovereign wealth fund is a state-owned investment fund or entity that is commonly established from balance-of-payments surpluses, official foreign currency operations, the proceeds of privatisations, governmental transfer payments, fiscal surpluses, and/or receipts resulting from resource exports.” In short, it’s a model many countries employ to make more money out of the money they have made through investing the surpluses in lucrative options (commodity and non-commodity) sans politics.
Currently, these funds are valued at over $8tr or about 9.5 per cent of the global GDP. Mostly made from petro-revenues (54pc), there are non-commodity funds as well. The value of some funds even exceeds the sponsoring country’s GDP — for example, Timor-Leste Petroleum Fund.
The level of transparency, management, investment strategies and outlook vary recognisably. In spite of all differences, one key aspect remains the same. Each of these funds has been created from governmental surpluses. With dwindling foreign exchange reserves and growing deficits, Pakistan is facing a shortfall of $12bn. With no surpluses in foreign reserves, and no petro-revenues, it will be a feat to create a sovereign wealth fund.
However, it is nothing that hasn’t been attempted before. During its vigorous SOE reforms, Vietnam created State Capital Investment Corporation (SCIC), a similar sovereign wealth fund with primary objectives“to represent the state capital interests in enterprises and invest in key sectors and essential industries with a view to strengthening the dominant role of the state sector while respecting market rules.” SCIC was created to disentangle regulatory and ownership functions of state, and to make SOEs responsible for their own actions — the two problems mentioned before.
Albeit similar in their objectives, the two types of funds differ significantly. SOEs that Vietnam equitised for SCIC were not debt-ridden and loss-making. According to the Mekong Private Sector Development Facility (IFC-MPDF) survey, Vietnamese SOEs were tasked to make“no loss, only a little profit”. But for Pakistani SOEs running cumulative losses of Rs1tr, making no loss doesn’t seem to be on the agenda.
Equitising these loss-ridden SOEs and putting them under private management give the government the best of both worlds. It will offload the losses from the state’s balance sheet and enable the management to independently divest loss-making stakes, downsize and integrate — all without any blame on the welfare state of Pakistan.
Yavar Moini, financial-sector expert at the World Bank Group, put it best: “[this fund] would represent a paradigm shift away from the state acting as an (often inefficient) operator of enterprises to an investor deploying its resources more efficiently, seeking better governance and expecting commercial returns”. Nonetheless, this paradigm shift can only be realised if the fund thus created capitalises on state patronage and asset availability with creativity and efficacy that is typical of the private sector. If successful, this will signal Pakistan’s economic maturity to the world and will fulfil the PTI’s promise of change.
Fortune favours the bold, but aspirations must not betray reality. Vietnamese may have gotten it right with their fund, but there are a few funds that lack transparency and independence — for example, Malaysian Khazanah. Charged with corruption allegations and misappropriation of funds, its management failed to operate independent of politics. Marred with institutional corruption, crony capitalism and political influence, Pakistan can relate to this a bit too well.
Cognisant of Pakistan’s socio-economic situation, the creation of an independent sovereign wealth fund will pose a plethora of problems. Shunning political meddling, nepotism and crony capitalism for efficient management, explicit regulations, performance-based incentives, professionalism, transparency and innovative business approach is needed.

Electrochemical model based fault diagnosis of lithium ion battery
A gradient free function optimization technique, namely particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm, is utilized in parameter identification of the electrochemical model of a Lithium-Ion battery having a LiCoO 2 chemistry. Battery electrochemical model parameters are subject to change under severe or abusive operating conditions resulting in, for example, Navy over-discharged battery, 24-hr over-discharged battery, and over-charged battery. It is important for a battery management system to have these parameters changes fully captured in a bank of battery models that can be used to monitor battery conditions in real time. In this work, PSO methodology has been used to identify four electrochemical model parameters that exhibit significant variations under severe operating conditions. The identified battery models were validated by comparing the model output voltage with the experimental output voltage for the stated operating conditions. These identified conditions of the battery were then used to monitor condition of the battery that can aid the battery management system (BMS) in improving overall performance. An adaptive estimation technique, namely multiple model adaptive estimation (MMAE) method, was implemented for this purpose. In this estimation algorithm, all the identified models were simulated for a battery current input profile extracted from the hybrid pulse power characterization (HPPC) cycle simulation of a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV). A partial differential algebraic equation (PDAE) observer was utilized to obtain the estimated voltage, which was used to generate the residuals. Analysis of these residuals through MMAE provided the probability of matching the current battery operating condition to that of one of the identified models. Simulation results show that the proposed model based method offered an accurate and effective fault diagnosis of the battery conditions. This type of fault diagnosis, which is based on the models capturing true physics of the battery electrochemistry, can lead to a more accurate and robust battery fault diagnosis and help BMS take appropriate steps to prevent battery operation in any of the stated severe or abusive conditions.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY
An inspiring, well presented, engaging presentation. It has a flexible format for discussion and questions, accessible that didn’t clash with work. It was good that Dr Tickoo explored challenges OTs face working in the field of sexuality- provided realism.
Dr. Sakshi helped me realize how sex can and should feel. She also helped me and my husband understand different ways we can continue having sex. I definitely recommend her services to any who have been having troubles enjoying intimacy and sex with their partners and themselves!
Nobody wanted to talk about sex with an amputated 26yr old woman which is what led me to Dr. Tickoo. Her approach was practical and effective. She helped me reconnect with my sensuality and how to get back to dating and relationships. She is compassionate, friendly, and disability inclusive and doesn't judge you for who you are.
Sexuality is rarely talked about in occupational therapy practice in India and I needed guidance for my patient. Even with one session, I was able to learn more about my patient and set up a treatment plan. Dr. Sakshi is patient, resourceful, and excellently taught me about sexuality and related occupations.

When the sushi was set in front of us, the rolls and sushi/sashimi pieces were in an okay arrangement, but the shape of the rolls and pieces of fish over rice were not what we would expect from a well trained sushi chef.
The taste of the sushi was also bland...the sashimi tasted almost watery with little flavor, and the textures between the different types of fish were hard to discern.
One thing that did not sit well with me. While we were eating, the sushi chefs started cleaning the back area, even though they were open for a few more hours. They placed large pieces of plastic over the fish, instead of wrapping each piece separately. They also started mopping the floor in their area while people were still eating at the sushi bar.
We'll have to just keep looking.

In celebration of the 40th anniversary of the Woodstock festival an abundance of events and a flood of products are expected. First there is the expanded and remastered Michael Wadleigh documentary Woodstock: 3 days of Peace and Music, now out on Blu-ray, which includes an interview with Martin Scorsese. Rhino is releasing a six-CD box set, Woodstock 40 Years On: Back to Yasgur’s Farm, with previously unreleased recordings. On August 14th the History channel is premiering a rockumentary, Woodstock: Now & Then, and there is even an upcoming comedy film from Ang Lee Taking Woodstock. Beyond the media, several books are also expected. Festival producer Michael Lang has two books out. One’s a memoir, The Road to Woodstock (Ecco, 2009), and the other is a deluxe limited edition put out by Genesis Publications entitled the Woodstock Experience. Mike Evans and Paul Kingsbury’s Woodstock: Three Days That Rocked the World (Sterling, 2009) also tells the tale of what went on from August 15-18th, 1969. Some of it is summarized as “three days of mud and electric shocks.” Mickey is quoted as saying “It was the worst we ever played” and Bobby just remembers the “great blue spark about the size of a baseball” that lifted him off his feet. Even amidst all the myth making the zeitgeist can be cruel.
The hard look at the recording industry that one sees in Steve Knopper’s Appetite for Self Destruction: The Spectacular Crash of the Record Industry in the Digital Age, published earlier this year by Free Press, continues with Greg Kot’s Ripped: How the Wired Generation Revolutionized Music (Scribner, 2009). Readers will find commentary on the major labels but also predictions on the future activities of bands and the use of music to sell concert tickets rather than recordings. Kot quotes Wilco’s Jeff Tweedy: “In some weird way everything will be like the Grateful Dead.”
Tabla maestro Zakir Hussain, who has collaborated many times with Mickey Hart, has given a very personal interview to Arminta Wallace published in the Irish Times (see http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/features/2009/0615/1224248842569.html)
He talks about the global musical journey that he has taken from Mumbai to California. It’s a journey that continues through performances with the Masters of Percussion, bringing Indian percussion to a wider world. He says, “worthwhile musical collaboration is always marked by this exchange of energy.”
We’re still breathlessly awaiting the acting credits to appear for the upcoming film Home Before Daylight: My Life on the Road With the Grateful Dead. Adapted from Steve Parish’s 2003 biography, the film’s announced production team should prove stellar with Parish and Michael Grais as producers, direction by Allan Arkush, and music coordination by Bob Weir. Grais, who is also writing the screenplay, previously produced the Jerry Lee Lewis music bio Great Balls of Fire. Parish’s book co-written with journalist Joe Layden (St. Martin’s Press, 2003) got terrific reviews for its intimate first person narrative about music and friendship.

I'm sure I'm not alone in having a 'Pile of Shame' i.e. clothes that I am avoiding dealing with. Mine doubles as my ironing basket but half the contents are clothes that I don't wear but haven't the heart to send to the Op Shop.
Clearing it out was one of my holiday tasks but I hate ironing so much that despite the pile getting in my way for the last 4 months, I hadn't touched it until now.
Lurking in there was a top I'd totally forgotten. I made it last summer and never reviewed it. This is sadly destined for the Op Shop.
I should have known this wasn't going to suit me from the pattern pic - there is a lot going on and it looks very big. But for some reason I loved the idea of it and I loved it on the model. After making it - I think it is gorgeous but it is a bit too weird at the back for me and it's a difficult look to carry off.
My version is in a hammered silk satin which looks very similar to the pattern fabric but isn't quite as drapey. Drapey would be better.
I made a few changes. I had to take a lot of width out of the front and back, including the bottom pieces- it was humungous! But that meant that the pleats got sewn in to the bottom. It would look better if they were free as per the pattern, but then I had pleats on the tummy and a bustle on the bottom and it wasn't a good look.
I like the detailing of the pattern - these sewn on ruched strips down the side are great. It isn't a quick to make top - there's quite a bit of work involved and the top and the bottom hem bands are lined.
But the bustle.... it didn't look so ... well... bustley.... on the pattern envelope. The back and the front almost look like they come from different tops.
Ah well, you win some... you lose some. Hope someone fossicking through the Op Shop that this ends up in likes this top and gives it a home.
I have similar feelings about Vogue Donna Karan pattern 1175, although I was so intrigued by it I still bought it. It looks hard to wear. It would look dreadful on me made in a taffeta, but I have a slight obsession with trying it in a black jersey, with added sleeves. That would make it drapey rather than sticking out. Does anyone think that could work?

Irish men hurt in Melbourne attack
Two Irish men are fighting for their lives after they were attacked in Australia.
Police in Melbourne arrested a suspect about three hours after the savage assault in the early hours of this morning.
They said the two men received life-threatening head injuries during the incident at a residential address in Lynedoch Avenue, in the St Kilda East area of the city.
“Both men, aged in their 30s, were taken to the Alfred hospital,” said a spokesman.
“Police arrested a third man at the Alfred, where he was being treated for non life-threatening injuries, around 4.30am.
“He remains under armed guard at the hospital.”
It is understood the pair may have been assaulted with a hammer at the boarding house where they lived.
They are in a serious but stable condition in hospital.
The Department of Foreign Affairs is providing consular assistance to the men’s families.
Elsewhere, an Irish man is recovering in hospital after he was injured in a shooting in Spain.
The victim, who is believed to be a Dubliner in his late 20s, was shot in a bar in Torremolinos, on the Costa Del Sol, last night.
The Department of Foreign Affairs said it is aware of the incident but that consular assistance has not been requested.


UNCG heads to rival Elon on Saturday for televised contest
UNCG (5-20, 5-9 SoCon) at Elon (11-15, 5-10 SoCon)
Alumni Gym • Elon, N.C.
Feb. 19, 2011 • Game 26 • 8 p.m.
TV: SportsSouth/ESPN3 (Tom Werme & Daymeon Fishback)
Radio: WCOG 1320-AM (Scott Pryzwansky & Rick Duckett)
LiveStats: UNCGSpartans.com (via ElonPhoenix.com)
• After facing its seventh ACC foe of the season in Miami on Tuesday, UNCG returns to Southern Conference action on Saturday as the Spartans make the short trip to rival Elon for an 8 p.m. contest in Alumni Gym. The game will be televised on SportsSouth.
• The Phoenix lead the all-time series against the Spartans, 16-13, dating back to the 1971-72 season. In a span from 2007-10, UNCG won seven games in a row over Elon, but the Phoenix have claimed the last two meetings. Earlier this season. The Spartans fell to Elon, 80-65, in the Greensboro Coliseum on Jan. 10, as Brian Cole led UNCG with 15 points. That loss capped off UNCG's 0-15 start to begin the season. After that loss, UNCG won four of its next five games, with the only loss coming to Chattanooga in triple overtime.
• On Tuesday, the Spartans fell at home to Miami (Fla.) in their final nonconference game of the season, 78-58. UNCG led by three late in the first half, but the Hurricanes took a seven point halftime lead en route to winning by 20. Kyle Randall led the Spartans with 13 points, while Aloysius Henry chipped in a dozen.
• The Phoenix come into the contest at 11-15 overall and 5-10 in the SoCon after defeating The Citadel, 79-72, last Saturday. That win snapped Elon's five-game losing streak that dated back to Jan. 22. The Phoenix currently sit just a half game behind the Spartans for fourth place in the North Division.
• On Saturday afternoon, the Spartans travel to College of Charleston and fell to the Cougars, 87-69. The game was tight throughout the first 24 minutes as the teams were tied and swapped the lead 14 times combined, but CofC went on a 26-6 over a 10+ minute span to seize control of the game. Trevis Simpson led UNCG with 17 points, while Brandon Evans had 14 points, all in the first half.
• The scoring for UNCG this season seems to come from a different scorer every night. The Spartans have had an amazing seven different players score 23 or more points in a single game this season. Korey Van Dussen and Trevis Simpson have scored 33 in a game, while Brandon Evans and Aaron Brackett have added 28 in contests this year. Aloysius Henry had 26 in a game, Cole had 24 points against Citadel and Kyle Randall scored 23 earlier this season.
• UNCG has four scorers who average double figure points. Simpson leads the team at 11.2 ppg (despite starting in only three games, while Kyle Randall (10.4), Brandon Evans (10.3) and Aloysius Henry (10.1) are also in double figures. Korey Van Dussen isn't far behind as he averages 9.5 points per game.
• UNCG was winless in its first 15 outings this season after facing six ACC opponents and very tough teams in Richmond and VCU. The 0-15 start by the Spartans marked the worst start in school history, breaking the record set by the 1967-68 and 1968-69 teams, which both started 0-7.

It’s one of the most famous and best-loved mini-motorcycles in the world. Many of today’s adult riders and professional racers had their first ever powered two wheel experience on this legendary model. And 40 years after making its world debut in the US market, the timeless PW50 – affectionately known as the “PeeWee”– is still as popular as ever.
By the late 1970s Yamaha riders had won three World Motocross Championships, that created a massive increase in demand for the company’s YZ off road race bikes. And at the same time Yamaha’s designers set about designing a new kind of mini-bike for younger kids who wanted to emulate their motocross racing heroes. The PW50 had arrived.
Easy to operate, fun to ride and simple to maintain, the PW50 continues to make motorcycling accessible to each new generation of young children aged 4-7 years. With a reliable 50cc 2-stroke engine and fully automatic transmission for ‘twist-and-go’ operation, this is the ideal first bike – and a throttle limiter enables parents to limit the top speed to suit the rider’s age and experience.
40 years on and the PW50 is still a favourite choice for kids and grown-ups all over the world. Featuring the same original design but in Yamaha Icon Blue, this iconic mini-bike is built to give you years of trouble-free enjoyment. Many PW50’s have lived with the same family for generations, creating fantastic memories that will last forever – and with over 380,000 units sold in more than 150 countries, this “Little Giant” has created a legacy to be proud of.

Pioneering jazz singer and lyricist Jon Hendricks died at a New York City hospital in United States. His daughter, Aria Hendricks, confirmed that the 96 year legendary singer breathed his last yesterday.
Hendricks found fame in the 1950s and ’60s teaming with Dave Lambert and Annie Ross. The Jazz singer wrote the lyrics to existing Basie songs, and the three recorded their own voices in layers instead of using backup singers.
The trio’s first album, “Sing a Song of Basie,” won acclaim for its use of vocalese, in which the voices mimic the instrumental parts. Others experimented with vocalese before Hendricks, but he is widely regarded as the father of the spirited singing style for popularising it.
After the group broke up in 1962, he pursued a solo career in London, worked as a jazz critic in San Francisco and released several solo albums.
He was born on September 16, 1921, in Newark, Ohio.

Lexie was crazy as hell, and Jinx was even crazier to entertain her. Overall, a decent read, but it took far too long to get to the climax.
I enjoyed the 1960s all-girls boarding school setting, and the incorporation of current events during this time. It was supposedly a simpler time, which I believe made the plot simplistic also. How can Jinx not realize she was being manipulated by a cunning, disturbed, hypersexualized rich girl, used to having everything and everyone she desired?
I guess being 18 and naive will make you overlook details like that.


Muskingum men suffer OAC road setback
UNIVERSITY HEIGHTS -— The Muskingum University men's basketball team suffered an 88-79 loss to John Carroll University in Ohio Athletic Conference hardwood action on Saturday afternoon.
With the OAC road setback, the Muskies slip to 2-4 overall and 0-3 in OAC play. John Carroll improves its mark to 4-3 overall and 1-2 in the OAC.
John Carroll started the game with a 20-6 burst, thanks to a three-pointer by Sean Flannery at the 14:16 mark. Junior Cameron Miller brought the Muskies back within 11 points of the Blue Streaks (31-20) with 7:03 remaining. Thanks to a bucket from Flannery, John Carroll used a 13-5 spurt to pull away from Muskingum (44-25) at the 3:05 juncture. In the final three minutes of play, Muskingum outscored the Blue Streaks (6-3) making it 47-32 at the half.
In the second half, MU senior Jalen Paige sank a jumper to close the gap to eight points (51-43) after an 11-4 Muskie burst with 16:20 to go. The teams traded baskets up to the 13:53 mark when Connor Fitzgerald buried a three-pointer to give the Blue Streaks a 13-point cushion (62-49) with 13:53 left in the game.
The Muskies continued to fight as senior Devon Peart drained a shot to decrease John Carroll's advantage to eight points (72-64) with 5:56 to go. Senior Brandon Keyes drilled a bucket with 1:34 on the clock, bringing Muskingum within seven points of John Carroll (81-74).
Keyes notched an impressive double-double with 20 points and 17 rebounds to pace the Muskingum effort, with junior Marcus Dempsey leading the Muskies’ scoring with 25 points along with four rebounds.
Peart chipped in with 12 points, two assists and Paige tallied 11 points in the OAC road setback.
Muskingum finished 29-for-64 (45.3%) from the field and 7-for-28 from the arc (25.0%) for the game.
Jimmy Berger led John Carroll in scoring with a game-high 30 points while Greg Parella had 14 points, and Jackson Sartain collected13 points.
NEXT - Muskingum hoss Kenyon College on Wednesday at 7 p.m.


We are infinitely perplexed by debates that arise between camps that should seemingly be in agreement and that are ostensibly working towards the same ends. Of late we have observed an artificially two-sided, black-and-white, green-and-brown debate over edible landscapes vs. ornamental ones. The most die-hard of edible landscape proponents insist that ornamental landscapes are wasteful and useless and that any available greenspace one has should be devoted to growing one’s own food. “Productive landscapes” they refer to them as. And so it goes that productive = good; ornamental = bad. In a flaccid attempt at infusing pop culture into the debate, one blogger went so far as to describe ornamental landscapes as “so ’80s,” in essence ignoring the 4,000+ year history of ornamental gardens. The whole debate recalls the native vs. non-native one in which native = good and non-native = weedy and bad. Black and white, green and brown, with us or against us.
Prairie-inspired front-yard landscape in Plano, TX
But what of those grey areas, and the proverbial areas of the color that green mixed with brown make? What of an ornamental landscape that is chock-full of pollinator-attracting perennials that provide food for the suffering monarch population? What of Perovskia atriplicifolia / Russian Sage, which, while not native to the US, blooms endlessly from June to October, attracts a staggering swath of pollinating bees, is remarkably drought-tolerant, and is completely non-invasive? Within these artificially two-sided debates, there is no room for these questions. It is as if, in an effort to bolster the validity of one’s mission – be it edibles, native plants, government spending, etc. – we feel compelled to eliminate the grey areas altogether, as they may weaken our respective missions or agendas. As a result, people working towards the same end of reducing the impact of humans on the environment are pitted against each other in a debate that shouldn’t be. The truth of the matter is that some people want to grow their own food, and some simply don’t (there’s nothing wrong with purchasing your produce from the farmers’ market, is there?). Some want a wild, all-native landscape, and some want something tidier while still including plants that will attract wildlife. Why we insist on diluting the validity of the sustainability movement through these artificially black-and-white arguments is beyond us.

A quality-based scheme for web testing
|R. Ramler, J. Altmann. A quality-based scheme for web testing. 5, 2002.|
|Buch||Proc. 24th Int. Conf. on Software Engineering (ICSE 2002)|
Quality aspects - or non-functional aspects - play a crucial role for systems on the World Wide Web. Consequently, there is high demand to address these aspects methodically and systematically in testing. This paper presents an approach for organizing tests that take the importance of quality aspects for Web projects into account. Three dimensions are proposed along which tests can be arranged: quality, features, and phases. Together, these three dimensions describe a scheme that is used to structure and categorize tests, e.g., for test planning, test case design, test execution, or test effort estimation.


Russia Restarts Oil Freeze Talks With Saudi Arabia: Reports
Russia is opening up to an agreement with other major oil producers to freeze output, in a bid to boost crude prices, according to media reports on Monday. Alexander Novak, Russia's energy minister, said his country is consulting with Saudi Arabia and other producers to jointly cap production "if necessary," Arabic newspaper Asharq al-Awsat reported. "We are cooperating in the framework of consultations regarding the oil market with OPEC countries and producers from outside the organisation, and are determined to continue dialogue to achieve market stability," Novak said, according to Reuters, which cited Asharq al-Awsat. The comments come after Saudi Arabia last week signaled it was considering measures to lift prices following a selloff in oil futures. The idea of a production freeze was also pitched earlier this year, but was quashed in April when Iran refused to get onboard with the plan. Oil prices rallied to a three-week high on Monday, with West Texas Intermediate crude rising 1.4% to $45.12 a barrel.

Aclaimed Guitar Educator and Director of the UCLA Jazz Guitar Department, Wolf Marshall celebrates the career of his good friend, Pat Martino.
Pat Martino is an individual of whom it truly can be said, “he was destined to make music.” Like his musical brethren in that regard, Beethoven, Debussy, Stravinsky, Coltrane
I first met Pat in 1976 when his recent Muse masterpiece Consciousness was still igniting fires on LA’s jazz
Released a couple of years earlier the album held a lot of musicians in awe. “Impressions,” “Along Came Betty” and his original composition “On the Stairs” were ear-catching straight ahead hard-bop performances that showcased the ferocity of his unflagging technique and powerful attack, while “Passata on Guitar” and Joni Mitchell’s “Both Sides, Now” revealed a gentler introspective Martino purveying atypical sonorities in the chord-melody vein. The program, rounded out by “Willow,” a rare trio recording and the decidedly out (in the most ingratiating sense of the word) “Consciousness,” was enough to draw LA’s finest guitar players and jazz cognoscenti from their comfortable havens and stand in line at the Lighthouse jazz venue on the Hermosa Beach pier. Pat was then touring as a bandleader in anticipation of his Starbright record and had a stellar group that included bassist Jeff Berlin, pianist Gil Goldstein and drummer Anton Fig, legends all. He and I began a lifelong friendship that week that was enhanced and nurtured by his regular visits to LA in the late ‘70s.
He enjoyed the flood of transcriptions I shared with him, that were my Rosetta Stone of jazz guitar, meticulously done in pen-and-ink calligraphy (I was, among many things, a professional copyist at the Local 47 Musician’s Union), as well as numerous discussions into the wee hours about anything and everything from tone spaces, Elliott Carter’s dissonance and avant-garde music (which I studied at UCLA) to mathematics, espresso coffee, octave displacement and the changes to “Road Song” and “Giant Steps.” He wound up commissioning me to produce his copyrighted lead sheets and a transcription of “Prelude,” covering Starbright and Joyous Lake albums for the Library of Congress. I was rewarded many times over through contact and friendship with Pat.
Moreover, I learned how jazz happened on the guitar fingerboard by scouring the over 250 pages of Pat’s improvisations as leader and sideman I had transcribed by 1978.
It pleased me to no end when I discovered while visiting Pat in 1993 that some of these scribblings were helpful to his musical recovery from amnesia following brain surgery in 1980.
I was further gratified that Pat contributed his testimonial to my Best of Jazz Guitar book and then shared deeper musical insights while I was writing Best of Pat Martino.

As official GDP data showed Britain flirting with a 'triple dip recession', we take yet another look at whether we are really 'all in this together'.
For this post our focus is on how the Tory party's policy of 'austerity' is reflected in the unemployment rates in parliamentary constituencies around the country. Data from a report by the House of Commons Library, released in January 2013, shows that vast swathes of the country have low unemployment. Austerity is not so hard if you have a job. A wage freeze is far less austere than moving from a salary to the dole. So with all the vast swathes of low unemployment, where is the high unemployment and who is actually paying the price of austerity?
The data in this report reveals the unemployment rates in each parliamentary constituency. This shows just 10 Tory MPs and 4 Lib-Dem MPs have unemployment rates higher than 5%. While the unemployment rate is higher than 5% in 137 Labour MPs' constituencies.
(In the graph above,for example, the 11th Tory constituency has an unemployment rate of 4.8%)
The talk of 'one nation' being 'in it together', combined with the reality that the debts of the country are being paid by those with the least, piles injury on insult.
Claims that our financial services industry gave Britain a special economic boost, deserving massive pay&bonuses, even more massive subsidy, and inane regulation, are simply not true.
Comparing the GDPs of France, Italy, and Germany (who did not proudly boast a bloated financial sector) with the UK shows that far from the Financial Services industry powering Britain ahead of our competitors, we just meandered along with the rest of them until disaster came.
What our dependence on banks meant, together with the hollowing out of our other industries, was that when the crash came we crashed faster and further and harder.
In truth 'austerity' is a wealth protection scheme, designed to avoid those who took wealth out during the reckless boom having to put it back during the ensuing crisis. Austerity means those who necked the champagne don't have to pick up the tab.
This policy of austerity is being inflicted by the Conservative party, who failed to win the last election having gained the votes of less than one in four registered voters. (The maths: Conservative party took 36.1% of votes cast. Turnout in 2010 was 65.1% of voters. Conservatives took 0.361 x 0.651 = 23.5% of registered voters, less than one in four).
The government survives because of the support of the Liberal-Democrats. If the Lib-Dems walk away then the government falls and an election will follow:
|2010 UK Parliament Election Results http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Parliament2010UK.svg|
Sadly, far from withdrawing support the Lib-Dems have played Mr.Christian to the Tory Captain Bligh of "Mutiny on the Bounty" legend (much maligned though Bligh was). "Mr.Christian" Lib-Dem ministers are sent out to apply austerity to the backs of ripped-off Britons, leaving their Tory masters in their cabins plotting their courses. With the stern earnestness of men on the verge of a panic attack Lib-Dems push austerity on television, radio, and all other public platforms. Their best defence for posterity will be that they didn't understand what they were saying. After all, they never expected to be in the front seat let alone the driving seat. They should take this rare opportunity in power to note they are not only by the steering wheel, but also the handbrake.
David Cameron does not have the power to dissolve Parliament even if he wanted to. The Queen has too much sense to use the power she has to dissolve Parliament. The only person who has what it takes to precipitate a new election is Nick Clegg.
Clegg certainly has the look of Mr.Christian about him. Of course, ejecting Captain Bligh didn't end well for the historical Mr.Christian either. While Bligh continued on with promotion, honours, and a governor's mansion.

Last year, I came up with an idea for a goal-call-based charity at my school, Marist College, inspired by Florida Panthers’ announcer Randy Moller.
And it’s still ridiculous.
If you’re unfamiliar with it, I did a piece on this site last year as well, which you can find here.
To summarize: I call my school’s hockey games on the radio with a couple of friends. Much like Randy Moller did in his play-by-play days, we shout pop culture references and quotes after we score. We take suggestions on what to shout on Twitter (@RantSessionsMAR), Facebook and such, and for every suggestion of a reference to use, we forward a dollar to Hodgkin’s lymphoma research.
We do so in honor of our team’s captain, Austin King. Kinger was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma two years ago, causing him to miss the season. After a hard battle, he managed to not only beat the disease, but return to the team and develop into one of their best players and leaders.
His physical transformation has been remarkable. In an interview he did with one of the members of our radio crew Matt McNamara, King admitted that it took him several months to feel like himself. He was weak from chemotherapy and needed to build up his strength. But two years later, he has become one of the toughest guys on the squad. It takes a lot to knock him off the puck. He is a tenacious forechecker, a hard hitter and currently, one of the hottest scorers on the roster.
In a limited time-frame last season, we managed to raise $150 thanks to 150 suggestions from 25 different people.
This season, we have raised $92 on 92 suggestions from 32 different people. That’s over just one semester, with nine more games still to go. We are on pace to exceed last year’s total, and we have already gotten more people involved this year than last.
The results have been hilarious.
I’ve said this before, but I will reiterate: this is a very silly idea. When I explain to people what it is we do, I get a lot of sideways glances. But when people hear our videos, they really seem to like it. Randy Moller was extremely popular around the league, and it’s easy to see why. It’s fun, it gets the audience involved in the broadcast and who wouldn’t love someone swallowing their pride to shout “do a little dance, make a little love, get down tonight” on a hot mic?
Somehow, someway, we got the attention the man himself, Randy Moller. He is a class act all around and has been far more supportive of our efforts than he has had to be.
— Randy Moller (@HeyRedDeer) March 30, 2016
— Randy Moller (@HeyRedDeer) October 2, 2016
Moller is one of the game’s best, so his backing means the world. His on-ice interview with Jagr after passing Messier on the scoring list? Priceless.
Why do this particular idea, you might ask? We do this to get experience broadcasting hockey games, yes. My partners, Matt McNamara and Rob DeLuca, are both seniors majoring in sports communication like myself. But we are not simply doing this to build a reel.
We do this to raise money for Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Our donations are a small drop in the bucket, but they count for something.
We do this so that parents can hear a broadcast of their kid. The odds are that Marist is not serving as the gateway to the NHL. But for their four years of school, these guys should feel like college athletes. Their parents should be able to see and hear them play. We started airing our games in real time on Facebook Live, and we’ve heard feedback from parents and families watching from miles away. That means the world to us.
We do this for the boys on the team. They play off-campus for a club sport. The school does not exactly put their weight behind promoting or covering the team, as to be expected for a club sport. Shirts with their sport on it are not sold in the bookstore like they are for basketball, football or even rugby (yes, rugby). Before we came along, going on-location to the local rink to broadcast games, either live or on delay, was not even a consideration for the radio or television clubs.
This team deserves recognition. Not because they are the best team in the world or anything, but man, are they likable.
They skate with ferocity and are unafraid to stick up for teammates. They are a fast team with a young core. None of the defensemen are seniors, and they are already talented puck-movers. For the second season in a row, the leading goal scorer is a freshman. It is so easy to get behind these guys for being what they are- scrappy, energetic and confident.
Marist’s goaltending is superb. Starter and co-captain Justin Larkin’s save percentage on breakaways has to be incredibly high, as his flexibility allows him to cover the entire netmouth with ease.
“Scoring on a deke on Justin is almost impossible,” teammate and defenseman Vinny Masters told us.
In a game against one of the best teams in the region William Patterson, Larkin stopped 57 of 60 shots in a narrow 3-2 loss. Despite it being a losing effort, it was a crowning achievement for the senior, very nearly outdueling currently the #1 ranked goaltender in ACHA D2, Jordan Hulahan. His composure, lateral movement and rebound control make him a very tough goalie to solve.
Technically the second-stringer given the number of starts, Matt Atwell has been equally hard to beat. Atwell has squared off against teams like Lehigh (last year’s national runner-up) and Boston College (Northeast region’s second-winningest team) and has emerged with a .932 save percentage in six games. Technically, that gives him the seventh-best save percentage in ACHA D2.
Even third-stringer Ty Crump made some huge saves in his lone start this season, a 3-2 win over Rider. All three goalies are seniors, and I contest they could all be starters anywhere else in the division. To have them all on one roster is pretty impressive.
These names probably mean nothing to you, the average reader outside of the Marist community. But they mean the world to us. This is our team. Coming from a school where athletic support from a student perspective is not exactly the biggest deal, it’s refreshing to have a team so easy to root for and so clearly passionate about what they do. And we want so badly for people to share what we feel every time we walk into the rink.
We love when one of our goaltenders stands on their head because they can steal a game against anyone (I’m quite proud of my catchphrase “Larceny by Larkin!” Catchy, eh?). We get excited anytime we see the electric combination of Austin King and Justin Genga start up the ice on a 2-on-1. We know the little ins, outs and tendencies of every player and following them on a year-round basis makes us feel like we’re a part of something.
And this charity has helped us get closer to them and build an audience on their behalf. People want to participate. They want to follow their progress. And to be frank, it’s a radio broadcast of a club hockey team. It would be wrong to take it too seriously.
The Marist Hockey Moller Goal Calls for Hodgkin’s Lymphoma costs nothing but time. All donations off suggestions come out of our pockets (mine, Matt’s and Rob’s). Plus, all suggestions are considered a donation. There is no such thing as a bad suggestion.
Trust me. I’ve had to scream “My anaconda don’t want none unless you got buns, hun!” in a crowded arena. We’ll take anything.
So in the spirit of holiday giving, I implore you to tweet at and follow @RantSessionsMAR, the name of our show on WMAR Marist Radio. Check out our goal calls on YouTube. We also have a couple of interviews with some of the players that are hilarious. Like “The Rant Sessions” on Facebook to get updates on our live broadcasts.
This is one of the easiest means of supporting a charity as can be. It’s also one of the most fun.
Many thanks to:
-My broadcast partners Matt McNamara and Rob DeLuca, for giving time, energy and your best effort. Also thanks to Jake Dziubla, special guest color man.
-Head coach Mike Beck and team managers Madison, Molly and Eric for your support and allowed access.
-Team captains Austin King and Justin Larkin.
-Players Nick Rudzewick, Max “Ocho” Henry, Lucas Milbank, Vinny Masters and Andy Vovk for joining us on “The Rant Sessions” and providing some of the best interviews ever.
-The 32 people that have sent in suggestions, and everyone who has tuned into a broadcast or a show. You have made our jobs fun.
To make a donation, go to Lymphoma.org. To make a suggestion, tweet @RantSessionsMAR, or comment on Facebook or Youtube.

All the highlights from the final week of the DPC in Eastern Europe, including our Lower Division tiebreaker.
CIS has always been a region to watch for thrilling Dota, many consider it one of the strongest regions in the DPC. After watching the region through Season 2, it’s clear to see why.
We break down all the action across the final week of Eastern European series in both divisions.
Team Empire came back with a vengeance in Week 6. Smashing both their series and forcing a 2nd/3rd place tiebreaker. Game 1 saw a neck and neck battle through the lanes with the kills flying fast on both sides. Arslan “xannii” Shadzhanov was standing in for Zaur “Cooman” Shakhmurzayev on the HellRaisers side. Unfortunately, xannii’s Faceless Void pick just couldn’t keep up with Alexey “Smiling Knight” Sviridov’s Troll Warlord in the farm, and as the game moved out of the mid-point, Empire were able to snatch the advantage and run with it straight to a 43-minute victory.
After the first map, Game 2 looked like a walk in the park for Team Empire, who got the most out of the lanes, building into a strong 13k lead by the 30-minute mark. At 45-minutes, Empire made our first-place seed taste defeat, bringing HellRaiser’s overall score down to 6-1.
Empire’s second series saw them go head-to-head with Trident Clan in two quick stomps that both ended in Empire’s favor in under 30-minutes. With two victories in Week 6 under their belt. Team Empire climbed two spots on the ladder to tie with Fantastic Five in second place.
But the result spelled the end for Trident. They fell earlier in the week when they faced off against B8. Dendi and the boys swiftly gained the upper hand over Trident in Game 1. Alimzhan “watson” Islambekov put on a real show on Phantom Lancer, going 15/0/7 by the game’s end. At 38-minutes, the first map belonged to B8. Game 2 was an even quicker affair, as B8 snowballed to a speedy 20-minute finish to take the series. Trident Clan end Season 2 on 0-7, coming in at last place.
Prosti Esli and NoTechies also played their final series in Week 6. The two clashed in a three-game series that saw Prosti sweep the first game out from No Techies after taking the aegis at 26-minutes.
But NT found their feet again by Game 2, Vladislav “DkFogas” Frolov had an amusingly good game on Pudge this map. He was sitting at 12/3/13 by the time NoTechies took the win at 35-minutes to equalize the series.
Then Game 3 saw Timur “layme” Magomedov take a core Riki, something we’ve seen a few times this season in the Lower Division. The choice certainly worked out for the team, and NT stomped their way to the win at 27-minutes, taking double the kills of Prost Esli on the way. However, the win does not save NoTechies from the bottom of the ladder. They finish the season in 7th place, while Prosti Esli take 5th, one spot above B8.

2nd/3rd place Tiebreaker – Team Empire vs Fantastic Five
? Lower Division TIEBREAKERS time! ?
Join us to see if Team Empire or Fantastic Five will take 2nd place and advance to Upper Division in the next DPC season! ?
— ESL Dota2 (@ESLDota2) May 23, 2021
It was a slow start to Game 1 of our tiebreaker clash between Team Empire and Fantastic Five.
F5 took first blood at 4-minutes, but it was Empire who were building the gold lead through the lanes. By 11-min, Empire had a 5k gold advantage and were ahead in the kills. F5 were not down for the count, bringing things back and slimming down Empire’s gold lead before taking the Dire’s top t1 tower.
Still, Empire didn’t look phased. Pushing into the Rosh pit at 18-minutes to take the aegis for Gleb “depressed kid” Ziryanov’s Templar Assassin. At 22-minutes they were 10k ahead of Fantastic Five in the net worth, with plenty of map control to keep pushing their advantage.
Askold did manage to waste some time, taking three of Empire’s heroes on a merry dance around the bottom lane trees before the 25-minute mark. But it didn’t slow them down much. A second successful Rosh at 27-minutes put an aegis back on depressed kid’s belt, and it was just all downhill for Fantastic Five from there. Empire took the bottom barracks at 29-minutes. They were 23k in the net worth with 23-kills on the board at this point. It was all over for F5 just 5-minutes later. The first map of the series belonged to Empire.
Game 2 saw Team Empire take an Invoker for depressed kid, with Vladislav “Petushara” Kozlovsky on Axe. While F5 put Viktor “SuperNova” Galichkin on Viper and took the Phantom Assassin for Dinar “Rari” Sharipov.
It was another slow start. But this time Empire took first blood as the clock passed 5-minutes. F5 didn’t take their first kill until 15-minutes. By then, Empire had a 6k lead and 14-kills under their belts.
Fantastic Five did their best to hold out, but Empire were dominating. They had 40-kills on the board at 40-minutes and had already taken the middle barracks. Petushara was absolutely on fire this map. He went 20/2/16 on Axe in a truly impressive showing, putting almost half of his team’s kills on the board. At 44-minutes Team Empire closed the win, taking the series and the second spot on the ladder.
Fantastic Five end the season in 3rd place, with a final count of 5 wins and 2 losses.

Team Spirit and ExTREMUM opened our week in the Upper Division with a two-game series that saw Spirit come out on top. Illya “Yatoro” Mulyarchuk was almost unstoppable on Ursa. Slotting a Sange and Yasha by the 20-minute mark and packing a Blink Dagger too, EXTR only managed to bring him down once, with Evgenii “Chu” Makarov’s Hoodwink burning through his aegis at 15-minutes. But there wasn’t much EXTREMUM could do to slow Spirit’s assault, and the GG came out at 31-minutes. The second map was a blitz to the win for Team Spirit, who shut it down at 28-minutes, 25-kills up on EXTR.
The loss leaves EXTREMUM 0-7 for the season, coming in at 8th. Team Spirit take our second place on the ladder, just beneath the undefeated top seed, Virtus.pro.VP have earned enough points across both DPC seasons to officially qualify for TI 10. Making them our second team to earn a slot, after Evil Geniuses.
Our week closed with the clash between Natus`Vincere and PuckChamp. The Bo3 saw Na`Vi take the first game with a commanding win, ending it in 22-minutes. Their snowball offense left PuckChamp scrambling. Only managing to put 9-kills on the board.
But PuckChamp came into our second map looking in much finer form. Allthough Na`Vi managed to swing a small gold advantage their way at a few points, they never built a meaningful lead. As a result, PuckChamp overran them once things hit the midgame. Andrei “meLes” Romanov caused plenty of problems for Na`Vi on his Sand King, his quick disables and initiations to take 17-assists as well as 9-kills of his own. PC took this Game 2 in a 28-minutes.
It looked like Na`Vi were well and truly shaken by Game 3. This time it was them who struggled to put kills on the board, only managing a total of 7. PuckChamp racked up 29-kills as they rolled to their 35-minute win taking the game with a 20k lead in the net worth.
Na`Vi’s defeat bumps them down to 6th place in the standings, just above Winstrike Team. Keeping them safe from relegation. While PuckChamp take our 5th spot on the ladder at the end of Season 2.

Highlight Series: AS Monaco Gambit vs PuckChamp
AS Monaco Gambit will get a second chance to prove themselves at a Major event. Earning the Wild Card spot after taking out Team Unique in their series to knock them down to 4th place.
Game 1 saw some good back and forth, with Unique managing to hold a small lead through the mid-game. They were pulling ahead in the kills too, pushing into a successful Rosh attempt. Until Kiyalbek “dream`” Tayirov swooped in to steal their aegis for his Arc Warden at 26-minutes. Then he did it again just 9-minutes later. The first map was all over at 40-minutes.
Then, ASM.GMB came into Game 2 determined to take the series. They got the most out of the laning phase, which helped dream` slot a Desolator by 11-min for his Phantom Assassin, leading the net worth. And although Vladimir “No[o]ne” Minenko had a bit of a hard time in the early game, he still managed to help secure 17-assists for his team on Magnus.
It was AS Monaco Gambit’s game. They shut down Unique at 32-minutes to nab themselves their slot at the Major.

BEIJING (AP) — Global stock markets and U.S. futures tumbled Monday after Wall Street fell for a third straight week and investors were rattled by U.S.-Chinese tension over technology and security and a rise in British coronavirus infections.
London and Frankfurt opened lower and Shanghai, Hong Kong and Seoul retreated. Japanese markets were closed for a holiday.
On Friday, Wall Street’s benchmark S&P 500 lost 1.1%, led by a sell-off of tech companies that led this year’s rebound. Investors worry they might have become to expensive.
Market momentum shifted after the Federal Reserve said last week the U.S. economic outlook is uncertain. Growth in some industries has slowed after additional unemployment benefits that supported consumer spending expired. Lawmakers have yet to agree on a new support package ahead of elections for president, Congress and some Senate seats.
“With 43 days to the U.S. election, fingers crossed may be what little one can do when it comes to the fiscal stimulus hopes,” said Jingyi Pan of IG in a report.
