Midfielder Amr El-Sulaya is fit for Tuesday's match against Vita Club of the DR Congo (Photo: Ahly's official website)
Ahly is ready and fully focused on beating rivals Vita Club of the DR Congo on Tuesday, according to the team’s football director Sayed Abdel-Hafiz.
The Reds’ trio winger Taher Mohamed Taher, midfielder Amr El-Sulaya, and right-back Mohamed Hani were declared ready for the anticipated match against the Congolese side in the 4th round of the African Champions League’s group stage tomorrow.
“The team is ready for the Vita Club match. We are fully focused and serious about winning,” Abdel-Hafiz was quoted as saying by Ahly’s official website on Monday.
“We traveled to the DR Congo with no other choice but to win the game. We have full confidence in our players and their abilities and experiences to handle such difficult situations,” he added.
Ahly must beat Vita Club in Kinshasa to secure a place in the prestigious tournament's quarterfinals, after the disappointing 2-2 draw at Cairo International Stadium in the 3rd round of the Group A games last week.
Ahly are currently in third place in Group A, sharing the same four points with Vita Club, who are in second place, after both teams played three games in the group stage so far.
Meanwhile, Tanzanian side Simba S.C are in the driving seat of Group A with 7 points, while Al-Merrikh of Sudan are in the tail with only one point.
“Everything is stable here. Everyone is doing their best to return to Cairo with the match’s three points,” the football director added.
“The trio are ready for Tuesday’s game and will be available for Monday’s training,” the team's doctor, Ahmed Abul Ela, explained.
Taher had suffered from a bruised ankle; El-Sulaya complained of fatigue, while Hani was knocked in the face in Sunday’s training session.
But, Ahly will still have to do in the game Tuesday without influential left-back Ali Maaloul, who is facing up to three more weeks on the sidelines after aggravating a hamstring injury sustained last month.

In late 2007 Google officially announced that so-called paid links are outside its webmaster guidelines, and asked webmasters to report paid links they find on the Web via a special form. Fast forward to 2011 and you’d expect that paid links are long gone, like stuffing meta keyword tags or inflating keyword density on page. They aren’t.
There is even a surge of interest in buying links after many large brands have been caught using this technique successfully to manipulate Google’s algorithm for months.
These large brands are not alone; indeed, even Google itself has been sponsoring sites that link to it without using the nofollow attribute required by the Google webmaster guidelines. So it’s no wonder that in this world where some people are more equal than others, many webmasters resort to buying links from text link brokers who are still more or less openly selling them.
Personally I was both buying and selling links prior to the 2007 announcement and let it go when it became apparent that it’s not a white hat SEO tactic. I may have been a little naive back then, but I assumed that links to advertisers you approve of are like editorial links; after all, you agree willingly to link to sites you have checked before. Google doesn’t think so though, as this way just the sites with the richest owners would succeeded in Google.
I can smell paid links from afar, while many webmasters fail to notice them even on their own sites.
Many people do not even know of the nofollow attribute, or that you have to use it on your ads. Others can seemingly get away with it because they are too huge to get penalised or have enough real links. Nonetheless, some large and renowned sites have been penalised for paid links in 2011 already.
Sometimes it depends on the amount of bad press. If you manage to make the New York Times aware of a large brand that buys or sells links, you might force Google to take action.
In the above mentioned example, where Google itself appears to buy links among dozens of others, nobody even cared about it. So apparently, depending on who you are and how you do it, paid links can work for you. Ironically, even those companies that have been caught and got penalised for paid links did get so many editorial links from the press and the blogosphere after getting busted that they probably don’t need to buy links anymore anyway.
In some countries or industries, paid links are so widespread that you’ll get outranked without them.
On the other hand, it’s a risky technique which you don’t have to use in most cases, or better still you can mimic its effects without breaking the rules. The best example of an exception has been paid directories. Sponsoring events seems to be another exception, as in the example cited above where Google has utilised sponsored links itself.
The paid links definition seems to be quite straightforward and easy to grasp, but when you think about it for a while you’ll notice that it’s far less obvious in many situations. Also, sometimes the paid link definition is not enough. What about paid content, for example? Last but not least, paid links are OK when they are used for PPC.

- Official: Selling Paid Links Can Hurt Your PageRank Or Rankings On Google
So while it seems that the paid links definition itself is not so obvious, the question of whether you buy links or not is a bit more complex. Search marketers have dealt with it for a few years now, and there is still a lot of disagreement in the SEO industry about paid links. The voices in favour of paid links seem to be outnumbered, but that’s just in public.
When it comes to the actual SEO practice my impression is that it’s rather the other way around. Most people don’t admit it, but they are doing paid links. Until Google finds a way to detect ”link intent”, we will have have to deal with this issue.
To even understand both positions you need to take a closer look at what’s at stake when it comes to paid links. Some deeper analysis has been done by some search bloggers.

- “Pushed” SEO Case Studies – Does “Old-School” SEO Still Work?
The pros and cons of using paid links as an SEO tactic are evident you’d think but there is even disagreement in the industry when it comes to link building as a whole. Some consider it ”paid links” as well.
I guess they argue in favor of allowing paid links, but I think they rather make Google limit link building altogether in the webmaster guidelines. In any case, it’s intriguing to witness the on-going discussion and wide variety of opinions present in the SEO arena.

Google Buying or Selling Links
Why would Google itself buy or sell links? Is it at all possible? It seems yes, it happened again and again in the past and I was quite disenchanted when I discovered a high Pagerank site that has a ”sponsors” link to Google without the nofollow attribute, and hidden anchor text on top of that – another breach of the guidelines.
In the best case scenario, Google employees who have no clue about SEO and their own guidelines have made a mistake. In the worst case, Google itself does not have to adhere to its own guidelines.

- Google Buys Links with Hidden Anchor Text
- Google Japan Buys Dirty Pay-Per-Post Links
- Google Gives Free PR8 Links to Paid Partners, and Doesn’t Follow Their Own Guidelines
Who sells or buys links?
The question who sells or buys links is wrong. The more apt one is: who does not sell or buy links? Sometimes it appears that most people do it and I am the only idiot who does not. If you want to stick completely to white hat SEO techniques, you’ll end up frustrated sooner or later with the competition who does not have such lofty ideals. Also, just the few cases where links been bought or sold admittedly show that “everybody” does it: big brands and news media are no exception.

Paid link SEO techniques
Do you want to buy or sell links? Well, think twice. Also consider similar tactics that at the end of the day have a similar effect but where the links are not directly paid. On the other hand, in cases where the competition does paid links and ranks with it without getting a penalty even a year after you have reported them to Google, you may have no choice.
Try everything else first though. Paid links are just a short cut and not a sustainable long term SEO strategy. It’s just an SEO tactic or technique that happens to work. Next day it might not work anymore. Better you prepare for tomorrow today, rather than just focusing on current results.

Do you really need paid links? Personally I’m a firm believer in the “link love” concept. It’s a very suitable metaphor. When it comes to love the more you give away the more you get. It works perfectly on the Web; the more you give away, the more you get in return, be it content, software or just links itself.
You have to give to get. So the money is spent indirectly. You spend it on the stuff you give away, and therefore you get the links. You can spend time or money to get links – you don’t have to do it by actually paying webmasters to link to you. Why not fund something else, then send out a press release about it and get interviewed as being the generous contributor?

CAJON PASS (KABC) -- A cement truck barreled out of control and landed on top of a vehicle in the Cajon Pass Tuesday night, killing two people inside the vehicle and injuring three others.
The crash happened around 11:30 p.m. at the 15 Freeway near the Highway 138 exit. The truck carrying wet cement was leaving a Caltrans construction site when it lost control for an unknown reason and failed to stop at an intersection.
The truck crashed into a PT Cruiser heading westbound on Highway 138. The PT Cruiser was pushed into a drainage ditch and smashed into barriers outside a gas station. The truck ended up on top of the PT Cruiser. It took firefighters several hours to extricate the victims, CHP Officer Ryan Dallin said.
Officials say five young people, including at least one minor, were inside the car at the time. Two people were pronounced dead at the scene, including the driver, 18-year-old Nicole Brittney Lyle, who they say just graduated from Serrano High School in Phelan, and 16-year-old John Anthony Cabrera Jr., who attended the same school.
"It's too much to describe. They're both amazing people. It's like losing a little brother... He's the funniest little kid, and Nicole was so awesome, just happy all the time," Adam Brown, a friend of the victims, said.
Brown says he had just said goodbye to Cabrera, who was on a late night trip to the beach.
"He said, 'yeah, dude, I'll see you later, we're going to the beach right now,'", Brown said.
Three other victims were taken to the hospital with major injuries. They were identified as Michael Baker, 20, Shane Gretzner, 19, and David Castaneda, whose age was unknown. Details on their conditions were not immediately released.
A vigil was scheduled in honor of the victims at Serrano High School at 7 p.m. Wednesday.
The truck driver, Sonja Aida, 54, was not injured in the crash.
"This is a tragic, tragic event for Caltrans and the construction community," Caltrans spokeswoman Joy Sepulveda said. "Our subcontractor working on the I-15 paving project in the Cajon Pass was involved, and we're just saddened. Our hearts go out to the families."
Greg Reiss of Phelan says his two kids were friends with the victims who were killed in the crash. He says his kids received the tragic news Wednesday morning.
"They're heartbroken right now, you know, because they've known these kids their whole lives," Reiss said.
The cause of the crash remains under investigation.
"Right now, they're investigating whether it may have been a mechanical issue or not. The truck was unable to stop at the stop sign," California Highway Patrol Sgt. Ed Casillas said.
There have been numerous crashes in the exact area where the fatal collision occurred over the years, according to local residents. In hopes of preventing more collisions, residents say pylons were installed.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

The starting point for the calculation of child support is the tax returns for the year prior to commencement of your divorce. However, this is just the starting point as there are several factors which may lead the Court to enhance or adjust a party’s income when it considers the proper amount of child support. For instance, Courts may also look to your most recent pay stubs or your year to date income. The reason the Court will consider the current year’s income is that there may be a dramatic change in earnings from the filing of your latest tax return. There are two quick examples that demonstrate using last year’s tax return would be inadequate or unjustified. First, if you unexpectedly lose your job after your tax return has been filed. Clearly the award based on employment that you no longer have will be unduly burdensome to which you are set up to fail and be held in contempt of a court order. It must be remembered that this loss of income must be unexpected, such as your company downsized or terminated your department.
The Court will look into the facts and circumstances of a loss of employment to determine if it was involuntarily or if was initiated in order to avoid a proper order of support. If you lost your job through no fault of your own the Court will take that into consideration when calculating child support. If, however, you purposefully lost your job, by quitting or taking another job to lower your income, the Court may impute income to you in order to make up the difference in what your proper support obligation should be. This also comes into play when the non-custodial parent owns his/her own business and the tax returns do not adequately reflect the party’s true income for child support calculations.
The opposite is also true. For if you receive a significant pay raise after your taxes are filed then you may not be paying enough child support.
When calculating child support the Court will also investigate whether the non-custodial parent receives a bonus. Such bonuses may be reflected on pay stubs or in an employment contract. The Court will include these bonuses to the child support calculation. Just some of the other factors the Court will consider are: (1) investment income; (2) workers’ compensation benefits; (3) disability benefits; (4) veteran’s benefits; (5) pension and retirement benefits; (6) fellowships and stipends; and (7) annuity payments.
Additionally, the Court will consider the lifestyle of the child prior to commencement as it will attempt to maintain as close a lifestyle of the child as possible.
In sum, remember that while there the Court will start with the previous year’s tax returns and apply the Child Support Standards Act, there are also many considerations that will be considered to award the proper child support award as the courts take very seriously the best interests of the children.

This is a grate story with a hoped-for happily-ever-after. If New York police, and Twitter sleuths, can find this couple.
On Sunday afternoon, they were found.
So here’s the story:
Police initially said it was outside the Times Square subway station, the crossroads of the world. It wasn’t. It was Central Park. But that doesn’t matter much. So, a man proposes just before midnight Friday, Nov. 30 while standing on a subway grate. Maybe the entrance to the subway is where they met. And, it is a cold day and every New Yorker knows plenty of warm air rises up from below. But it could be an unfortunate location to be holding something very small because if dropped, well, the item could be lost forever to subterranean New York.
In the video, the man can be seen proposing, the couple appears to embrace when the ring falls. Stunned, they both react when he gets on the street, then she; he even lies down to try to retrieve it from inside the grate. Unsuccessfully.
We now know the couple was John Drennan and Daniella Anthony.
Enter the New York Police Department Special Operations officers.
“WANTED for dropping his fiancée’s ring in @TimesSquareNYC! She said Yes – but he was so excited that he dropped the ring in a grate. Our @NYPDSpecialops officers rescued it & would like to return it to the happy couple. Help us find them? ? call 800-577-TIPS @NYPDTIPS @NYPDMTN”
Likely having other things to do, NYPD officers nonetheless retrieved the ring and even polished it up.
“Here’s a photo of the ring our officers recovered (and cleaned!) Call 1-800-577-TIPS or DM @NYPDTips if you know the happy couple so we can return it to them!”
Anxious to find the couple, the NYPD early Sunday afternoon shared some additional, and clearer, images of the couple.
“We still haven’t found our “almost engaged” couple WANTED for dropping their ring in Times Square. Here are some more photos, does anyone recognize them? For a fairy-tale ending, call 800-577-TIPS or DM @NYPDTips. ?”
The story has some “hopeless romantics” just as anxious as the NYPD to find the almost-engaged couple.
At around 1:30 p.m., the NYPD made an announcement:
“We would like to thank everyone who shared this story! The (now) happy couple is back in their home country, but thanks to your retweets they heard we were looking for them! We’re making arrangements to get them their ring back. Congratulations!”

The cancer industry is a sham. The “pink ribbon” cancer non-profits are a hoax. Breast cancer “detection” often gives false positives. Chemotherapy is poison that actually causes more cancer, not less, and many people are being treated for “cancer” when they never had cancer to begin with. These are just some of the basic truths about cancer that more and more people are now coming to realize.
Today, I’m bringing you a special edition of the Health Ranger Report where I discuss the world’s most amazing anti-cancer foods that work BETTER than chemotherapy, but without the negative side effects or high cost. These are all foods you can find at your local grocery store.
Click here to listen to my special report right now on YouTube (or watch it below).
Or click here to take the cancer risk quiz that can help you determine your risk of being diagnosed with cancer.
You Don’t Have to be Afraid of Cancer Anymore
From the book entitled, “You Don’t Have to be Afraid of Cancer Anymore” by Bill Sardi:
Remarkable and unexpected developments now make it possible to place the greatest cancer-blocking molecules directly into the hands of patients so that cancer prevention can be effectively practiced for the very first time. What’s more, the most potent anti-cancer treatments can be employed at home, without a doctor’s prescription. These include simple remedies such as vitamin D (sunshine), rice bran, flaxseed oil, Brussels’ sprouts, folic acid pill, red wine molecules and garlic cloves, which outperform the best chemotherapy drugs.
You may be surprised to learn that there are no proven anti-cancer agents that can safely be prescribed to prevent cancer, that is, until now. Concurrently, the cancer industry is in a state of chaos and uncertainty. It has begun to doubt itself. “Doctors now wonder whether many women diagnosed with breast cancer could skip chemotherapy altogether. ‘It’s a slightly uncomfortable time,’ says one cancer specialist.
Powerful medicines found in foods work better than expensive, toxic cancer drugs
From the book, “Foods That Fight Cancer, Preventing Cancer through Diet” by Richard Beliveau and Denis Gingras, we learn that foods deliver powerful anti-cancer nutrients to the bloodstream.
These plant-based nutrients exhibit the following cellular properties:
Tumoral invasion and metastasis inhibition
Growth factor receptor inhibition
Inflammatory enzyme (COX-2) inhibition
Transcription factors inhibition
Chemotherapy medication resistance inhibition
Blood clotting inhibition
Immune system modulation
Cellular signal cascade inhibition
Toxicity toward cancer cells
Cancer cell cytoskeleton perturbation
Toxin metabolic action inhibition via Phase I (cytochrome P450)
Toxin detoxification activation via Phase II
The principal groups of phytochemicals found in fruits and vegetables
Sulfur compounds (sulfides)

Religion for atheists : a non-believer's guide to the uses of religion (2012 original; edició 2012)
Detalls de l'obra
Religion for Atheists: A Non-Believer's Guide to the Uses of Religion de Alain De Botton (2012)
What if religions are neither all true nor all nonsense? The long-running and often boring debate between believers and non-believers is finally moved forward by Alain de Botton's inspiring book, which boldly argues that the supernatural claims of religion are entirely false--but that it still has some very important things to teach the secular world. Religion for Atheists suggests that rather than mocking religion, agnostics and atheists should instead steal from it--because the world's religions are packed with good ideas on how we might live and arrange our societies. Blending deep respect with total impiety, de Botton (a non-believer himself) proposes that we look to religion for insights into how to, among other concerns, build a sense of community, make our relationships last, overcome feelings of envy and inadequacy, inspire travel and reconnect with the natural world.--From publisher description.

Senior Executive Vice President of Transformation, Enablement, and Customer Experience & Enterprise Chair, Women at TD
Compliance Business Oversight Manager, TD
Vice President, Diversity & Inclusion, TD Bank Group
Recognizing intersectionality and forging gender equity are ingrained in TD’s workplace culture, as told by three of its inspiring women leaders.
This International Women’s Day (IWD) — as we celebrate women’s achievements, raise awareness about discrimination, and take action to drive gender parity — activists around the world, from global brands to grassroots groups, are focusing on this year’s IWD theme: #EmbraceEquity.
Equity is notably different from equality. It’s time to recognize that equal opportunities aren’t enough, because people start from different places — and true inclusion and belonging require equitable action and a deep understanding of intersectionality.
This work is happening at all levels of society, including in the workplace and at organizations like TD Bank Group (TD), a Canadian multinational banking and financial institution. When it comes to supporting diversity, equity and inclusion, including gender equity, we all need to be part of the solution — allies included.
Intersectionality, a term coined by civil rights advocate and scholar Kimberle Crenshaw, refers to the interconnected nature of social identities such as race, gender, and sexual orientation and how they can overlap and impact people’s experiences, including different layers of discrimination and inequality.
“Intersectionality to me is recognizing that people’s social identities can overlap and acknowledging that everyone has their own unique experience,” says Grace Lawani, Compliance Business Oversight Manager at TD. “I don’t fit into a particular box, so sometimes we have to create these boxes ourselves. For instance, I identify as Black, as a woman, and as a newcomer to Canada, and so my experience is unique to myself.”
TD’s leadership team understands the importance of recognizing intersectionality and has created a workplace culture that strongly embraces diversity. “TD wants you to bring your true, authentic self to work,” says Lawani. It’s a win-win situation, she notes — employees are able to define themselves and to thrive in an accepting and diverse culture while TD benefits by having colleagues who are able to show up as the best versions of themselves.
Fostering inclusive workplaces
“At TD, we believe in the power of diverse and inclusive teams, and that inclusive workplaces ultimately bring the best out of everyone. Representation matters. Our aim is for our colleagues and customers to see themselves reflected at TD, including within senior leadership levels.” says Diana Lee, Global Head of Diversity and Inclusion at TD. “Both equity and intersectionality are vital to diversity and inclusion efforts.”
As a leader, Lee has always been an advocate of the Women at TD area of focus and network. She also recognizes that it’s just a piece of the puzzle, intersecting with TD’s broader diversity and inclusion efforts, including those focused on Black Experiences, Visibile Minorities/Minorities, Indigenous Peoples, People with Disabilities/Individuals with Disabilities, the 2SLGBTQ+ community, and Veterans.
“We’ve established programs and training to promote understanding of equity and intersectionality, and emphasize the importance of accountability and active allyship,” says Lee. “Ultimately, training and awareness are the first steps — it’s vital that our actions drive inclusion and equity, and that’s our focus at TD.”
Influencing positive change
For Christine Morris, Senior Executive Vice President of Transformation, Enablement, and Customer Experience at TD and Enterprise Chair of Women at TD, championing change within the organization began as a natural result of her personal story — but evolved as her learning and understanding of intersectionality expanded.
“The role of Enterprise Chair of Women at TD means a lot to me,” she says. “When I first came in as Chair, I wanted to make sure I could make a meaningful impact. A large part of the role is being a leader in the space, setting an example in how I work and interact with colleagues, and ensuring that I’m supporting other women as they navigate their own journeys. The more I worked in the portfolio, the more I realized that everyone has a differing experience, person to person, woman to woman. Even though my experiences might not be the same as everyone else’s, I see this as an opportunity to broaden my responsibility to community members and be an active ally.”
Having grown and evolved in her own role, Morris’ focus is on supporting women across TD and at all levels.
A history of success and support
Across TD, embracing equity is part of the bank’s DNA. From understanding intersectionality to promoting positive change in the organization to making sure everyone has a seat at the table, the organization is leading the way in creating a more diverse, inclusive, and equitable workplace.
We strive to embed diversity and inclusion, which are core to the TD culture, across all dimensions of our business.Diana Lee
“Organizations, including TD, have a responsibility to create a work environment where all colleagues can bring their best selves to work and perform at their peak,” says Morris. “If organizations neglect to recognize this, employees can fall into exclusion and diverse perspectives and opinions can be missed. Diversity of perspectives, experiences, and opinions only makes a business better.”

Off to Bandipur, tiger, tiger, can you burn a little brighter?
Here’s my favourite shot from Bandipur ….
Bandipur has always been one of my favourite areas…and what once used to be “Prakruthi” restaurant has now morphed into the Bandipur property of JLR . Almost every room there has a beautifully painted wildlife mural .
Well, since I can do a bit of “swalpa adjust maadi” with
Alas, this time I am not going just to see what I can see. Usually, that’s what I do. And I come back happy with whatever I saw, but never a glimpse of any stripes…..Then, I was told by someone, when I said that I had never seen a tiger in south India: “You lack focus. You are too happy and contented with what you see, so you will never see a tiger.”
OK, this time, focus, focus, focus. Ever since
So having once cancelled my train ticket for today, I went back and bought a bus ticket for tomorrow, and I am FOCUSSSSSSING as I go off. Wish me luck everyone. I have a great fear that these other tiger-sighting characters are swifty exhausting the April 2008 Tiger-Sighting Quota before I arrive there, and will do the usual “The tiger was sighted HERE yesterday” or “Look! Tiger Scat!” (That’s a polite and technical way of referring to
tiger shit tiger waste-products.) I even had one naturalist who enthused, “OH! It’s FRESH and STEAMING!!!” as if it was a fragrant breakfast dish of idlies that he had found.
I don’t want tiger claw marks, I don’t want pug marks. I don’t want to listen to other people’s tiger-sighting stories. I WANT MY OWN TIGER SIGHTING IN SOUTH INDIA. This means YOU, you tiger hiding in the forests of Bandipur. Come on out you coquette, I want to see if you actually do exist, or are a piece of these other people’s fevered imaginations….
Want to see some of my Bandipur posts?

You don't opposite sex partners to have a child. As long as the couple love the child, that's love and it is more than suffice to raise a child to be an adult.
i don't think its a problem for gays, lesbians, or transsexuals to adopt or bare a child. in my opinion, its good to have a child also. because many children in this world don't have parents and they need love. parents love. although sometimes ppl would care bout who is their parents but its not a problem. the most important thing for the child is care and love from parents. for gays, lesbians, or transsexuals who are really able to bare or adopt a child, so why not have. make sure you can really afford everything for a child and care them. give them love....
i don't find anything wrong with that they still have the rights and skills to raise children and people have no right to tell them other wise they let kids (under 16 witch is agent the law) so i don't find a problem with them having kids of there own there are kids with no homes that are up for adaption who want homes ...i don't think they would mind ether ( the kids) but the adoption center maybe but i really don't find ANYTHING WONG with it and i also think they should be aloud!!!
starfire1036 (May 03, 2008)
No anybody should a child if they want one but still because there any one of those ways it will be very hard for the child you know either they will become gay or lesbian or whatever or they will think thats natural and have problems like kids picking on him it will be alot of stress for the child i think.

In polling conducted among 50,000 English-speaking developers, OS X has been found to be in active use with more coders than Linux for the second consecutive year. The respondent pool favoring OS X has grown from 18.7 percent of the user base in 2013, with nearly linear growth to 26.2 percent this year.
Linux provider Red Hat and Samsung Electronics America today announced a strategic alliance to deliver the next generation of mobile solutions for the enterprise. The partnership will fuse Samsung's mobile device portfolio with Red Hat's open source middleware, mobile and cloud technologies to deliver mobile solutions that enable rapid development and integration of enterprise applications for organizations.
Microsoft is bringing its Visual Studio suite to more platforms, the company announced at its Build conference keynote today. Visual Studio Code is a lightweight version of the long-standing code editing suite, with the new cross-platform version being made available in preview not only for Windows, but also OS X and Linux systems, and as a free download to developers.
Researchers have discovered a critical flaw in the backbone of HTTPS-protected traffic, and it is an exploit that has potentially existed for decades. The flaw exists in approximately 36 percent of websites that use HTTPS, and miscreants are able to intercept and modify data passing between a vulnerable browser and a susceptible site. At the moment, OS X and iOS Safari and Chrome are vulnerable to the attack, as are virtually all Android devices ever produced, plus all browsers on Linux.
Civilization isn't the first strategy series in video gaming, but it is probably the most enduring. Since the series' introduction in 1991, countless players have been stormed by barbarians, built the pyramids, and been nuked into oblivion (because of a coding bug) by the Indians. This year, the Firaxis-developed series launched a sequel to both Civilization V and the well-regarded Alpha Centauri in the form of Civilization: Beyond Earth available on OS X, Windows, and Linux. How many hours of your life will this one take?
Because of the accessibility of game design tools, independently-produced games are springing up on every platform. There's certainly no shortage of dungeon crawlers, roguelikes, or turn-based strategy games today. That doesn't mean, though, that Sproggiwood, by Freehold Games, should be overlooked. This turn-based roguelike has the player explore dungeons inspired by Finnish mythology, bringing peace to the land of Sprog.
Linux users of the Ubuntu variety can now watch Netflix without hacks or workarounds. The ability to stream Netflix comes with the latest build of the Chrome browser for the operating system, for up-to-date Ubuntu users. Netflix also confirmed that subscription fees for users wanting to stream 4K Ultra HD video are increasing.
A new bug may have a greater potential for harm than April's Heartbleed vulnerability, according to reports. The "Shellshock" vulnerability in Bash, a Unix shell typically used in Linux systems as well as in OS X, apparently allows for code held in environment variables to be executed within the shell as soon as it is invoked, potentially allowing for the control of affected systems to be taken over by another user.
In August 2012, a team from Uber Entertainment launched a kickStarter campaign, aiming to raise $900,000 to make a new real-time strategy game called Planetary Annihilation. After two years of work and raising over $2.2 million, as well as other funds via "early access," the game is finally released outside of beta, and gamers can finally try out what backers have been playing for some time during the game's development.
Google has released Chrome 37 for Windows, Mac, and Linux. The biggest change affects only Windows users, in the form of DirectWrite support for better font rendering. Previously, Chrome for Windows depended on the Graphics Device Interface, and Google explains that the change "required extensive re-architecting and streamlining of Chrome's font rendering engine."

"Even though they're closely related genetically and live close to each other geographically, still there are big differences in the average number of copies in these populations," Dominy said. "So we felt like geography and relatedness are not driving these differences. It's got to be diet."
For Dominy and his coauthors, the finding goes beyond the mouth. In pondering human origins, Dominy said, anthropologists have long been stumped by the sudden, nearly simultaneous increases in our brain size, body size, and geographic range, while other apes changed little. Early humans simply must have found some source of better nutrition to make it all possible, they reasoned.
"That's the big mystery of paleoanthropology," Dominy said. "What changed" Why did our earliest human ancestors deviate from the pattern we see in living apes to evolve this incredibly large brain, which is very energetically expensive to maintain, and to become a much more efficient bipedal organism""
For years, the answer was thought to be the growing importance of meat in the diet, as early humans learned to hunt. But, Dominy pointed out, "Even when you look at modern human hunter-gatherers, meat is a relatively small fraction of their diet. They cooperate with language, use nets; they have poisoned arrows, even, and still it's not that easy to hunt meat. To think that, two to four million years ago, a small-brained, awkwardly bipedal animal could efficiently acquire meat, even by scavenging, just doesn't make a whole lot of sense."
Some anthropologists have begun to suspect the new source of food consisted of starches, stored by plants in the form of underground tubers and bulbs--wild versions of modern-day foods like carrots, potatoes, and onions. Once early humans learned

The Military Pro Bono Project is looking for our assistance to provide pro bono representation to service members in family law matters. The Project helps those who are sacrificing greatly for their country by moving pro bono referrals straight from military law offices to willing-and-able private sector lawyer volunteers throughout the country. Extended American military missions overseas have generated unprecedented civil-law challenges for service members, many of whom have left family, home, and job for years at a time to serve their country in Iraq, Afghanistan, and other locations.
resources available to you on line to provide assistance in your
representation of the military personnel. There is also no
continuing obligation once you provide the agreed upon
representation. You can also call for more information and then
decide not to take the case. Cases currently in need of
pro bono assistance are available on the Project's website, www.militaryprobono.org.
All the cases are screened by a supervising military attorney and then by Jason Vail, Project Director, Military Pro Bono Project the head of the Military Project with the ABA. You may contact Jason directly at 312.988.5783 or firstname.lastname@example.org.

The doors of Ventura Centrale are officially opening today and the 17 design installations are about to broaden your horizons, just like you would expect them to.
“I wanted to create a platform to showcase what was happening now in order to give the conoissor-audience an appetite for what could and would be happening tomorrow,” said Margriet Vollenber, founder and art director at Ventura Projects.
Celebrating a decade from their first event in Milan, the Dutch - turned international - phenomenon is capable of bringing forward thinking designers together with their visions which are capable of speaking to people’s hearts and minds. At LUXOS, we have taken a sneak peek on what’s inside the dismissed warehouses right next to the Central Train Station and these are the exhibits we strongly recommend you to visit.
Dai Nippon Printing - DNP
The debut of the Tokyo based printing company during Milan Design Week does not go unnoticed. Walking inside the warehouse, you will be amazed by the number of colourful material hanging from the ceiling. They feature the Komon pattern, a popular technique that is used ever since the Edo period and that is now endangered because of the deterioration and damage of the stencil patterns. With a 140 years history, DNP contributes to society by leveraging diverse information and printing formats that communicate both traditional and contemporary values.
The flying dishman - designed (ironically enough) by Dutch artist Joep van Lieshout - is made of recycled plastic entirely. CEO Bülent Yokus says this has been nominated as one of the most sustainable products during design week. The lounge island features a cosy, entirely sustainable, bed. For the environment, but also for you. “We believe that luxury is about having the time to enjoy the good things of life” says Yokus. Sit on one of those and take a deep breath.
Get your ticket and wait to confess your recycling sinns inside of the confession booth. In the meantime, walk inside the space recreated by luminous cables to disconnect entirely from reality. Once you are done filling up your card, which is for questioning bad design, head to the sinn council and handle your card to see what comes next.
If FREITAG helps you disconnect from reality, Marteen Baas makes you feel overwhelmed by how much we think and say. Follow the “I think” signs and enter the multimedia dark room to walk out and write what you think that was. Sounds complex? It is, but all that matters is “I think it was art” and that “I was in Milan.”
When entering the Lensvelt’s warehouse, dedicated to the Amsterdam-based furniture brand, your attention will be immediately captured by the beautiful lines, colours and shapes of chairs, couches, tables and lightings. However, it is only when taking a closer look at the FIVE table - taking centre stage in the space - that you understand how truly adaptable design can be. Featuring 5 colourful legs, this table is like a construction box that applies itself in different configurations based on the number of people, or on the unevenness of the floor.
We could go on explaining how Rapt Studio entertained us with #tellmemore, or how Humanscale developed ergonomy on the stage and how Tides feel connected with the universe, but it would be going too far. Ventura Centrale needs to be experienced in person and we highly recommend you do so.

Why do we have to do aural tests?
Aural training, sometimes called ear training, is essential to learning in music education because it helps students to develop their musical perception, memory, understanding and discrimination. Aural skills inform all aspects of musicianship, they help with the memorization of music and promote more stylish, convincing musical performances.
What are the differences between ABRSM and Trinity aural tests?
The two principal music performance examining boards in the UK are the ABRSM and Trinity College London. Both boards test candidates' aural awareness in addition to playing and singing.
Aural Tests are compulsory for ABRSM exams, but for Trinity College London exams, aural is one of two tests you will make from a choice of four at Grades 1–5: Sight Reading, Aural, Improvisation and Musical Knowledge. At Grades 6–8 the candidate must do Sight Reading but may then choose either Aural or Improvisation.
The format of the aural tests differs between ABRSM and Trinity in several respects. The two main differences are:
- Trinity uses a single phrase or piece of music around which several questions are focused, whereas ABRSM uses different musical extracts within the same set of tests for a candidate.
- ABSRM tests require some sung responses at each grade, whereas Trinity aural tests do not.
You can read our individual grades guides for a comparison of the ABRSM and Trinity aural tests at each grade.
What if I don't know the answer to a question in an exam?
It you don't know the answer to one of the aural test questions, such as 'Is this piece in 2 time or 3 time?' (as in Trinity Grade 1) it is worth having a guess because, in this case, you have a 50/50 chance of being right!
What if I lack confidence singing or clapping in an exam?
If you are unsure in the sort of test where you are asked to sing notes from a stave (as in ABRSM Grades 4 and 5) it is best to have a go because you will probably be able to get the notes partly right.
In tests where the examiner plays a phrase and you have to sing it back, as in ABRSM Grades 1–3, you should have a go – do not hesitate or you will remember even less. Some credit will be given for a mostly correct attempt. You could ask for the phrase to be repeated but it is reasonable to expect that this will be reflected in your mark.
It is never a good idea to decline to do a test. Some people are sensitive about singing, believing that they are no good at it, but this is not the time to be shy because if you do not respond you cannot expect to be awarded any mark at all for that particular part of the aural tests.
How do aural tests help students become better musicians?
Aural testing in exams promotes the development of aural skills because it encourages teachers to focus on them, and motivates students to improve their listening abilities. It is important to develop aural skills because they help musicians at all levels to become more discerning in the way they play, sing and listen to music.
A widely accepted theory of learning and perception is that discussing a concept promotes perception and understanding. Aural perception and musical understanding are both essential if an exam candidate is to play or sing well and gain their best possible marks.
As an example, an inexperienced music student will almost certainly begin playing the whole of a piece at the same dynamic level (loudness). Once her attention is drawn to variations between loud and quiet and she has the opportunity to talk about it, she begins to notice this more and more in music she listens to, particularly when the teacher demonstrates. She then starts to be able to apply it in her own playing, with the guidance of her teacher.
Good music teachers also make students aware of how the music they play is constructed, in other words they talk through how the piece or song begins and then explore what the composer did next with the musical material. Understanding the structure of music helps enormously with learning it and with remembering it securely. Part of developing aural skills is learning to listen with increasing understanding of the structure of music.
How do aural tests contribute to learning?
Promoting musical understanding and perception is the basis on which aural testing forms a part of most exams. Answering questions on how music is played and constructed necessitates prior preparation that will have helped to further the student's all-round musical development, producing even better results when performing.
The really important part of aural testing is the teaching and learning that goes before it. It is very important for students to have experienced listening to music with understanding, so teaching will ideally be based on verbal explanation as well as simply listening to lots of examples. Many students have music lessons that are too short for the teacher to fully cover this important aspect of learning and also it is the one thing that students cannot easily practise at home. This is the idea behind E-Music Maestro Aural Test Training, a web-based resource that teaches as well as tests musical perception and understanding and allows the student to practise at home. When using Aural Test Training students not only have the chance to test their musical perception, but also hear explanations as to why a particular answer is correct. They hear lots of examples and find out correct descriptions of what is happening in the music.


Since 2003, the European Week of Regions and Cities has been giving cities and regions the opportunity to display their actions, confirming the importance of the local and regional level for the governance of the European Union. This year, the event will take place from 7th to 10th October in Brussels. Local events will run from September to November all over Europe.
Like every year, Energy Cities is organising some interesting debates and workshops, to make sure best practices and projects of local governments in transition get all the attention they deserve. We hope to see you there!
8 October 2019, 11:30 – 13:00
This interactive session will present how multi-level collaboration can unlock the potential for local climate action to shape a greener Europe. Two roundtables will discuss lessons learnt from two approaches to local projects: “municipal climate partnerships” and “smart cities”. Participants will share experiences and challenges of supporting communities through these approaches.
9 October 2019, 9:00 – 16:00
Organised in the framework of the Horizon 2020 PROSPECT project and the Covenant of Mayors initiative, this event will provide you with useful tips & tricks to successfully transform a city’s sustainable energy and climate action plans into actions.
The day after, the participants will visit two public buildings that went through energy retrofitting: one school and a foundry turned into a cultural centre!
10 October 2019, 11:30 – 13:00
There are many paths towards reaching energy, climate and circularity goals, but one solution in particular stands out: district heating networks can become modern vectors of territorial energy integration and sector coupling. This workshop will focus on the role of high efficient district heating networks, facilitating the exchange of emerging expertise and knowledge on their deployment and modernisation.
10 October 2019, 9:00 – 16:00
The MED Efficient Buildings Community developed, tested and disseminates practical tools and methodologies at the service of local and regional public authorities. During this Mediterranean Energy Debate, public officials will have the chance to learn how to better design, implement and finance efficiency measures in public buildings and neighbourhoods around the Mediterranean.

Caldera by Rogerseller Oval Semi Inset Basin in Emperador Grey
Product InformationInspired by the irregular shapes that result from earth’s greatest enigmatic processes, the asymmetric Caldera Oval Semi Inset basin mimics the shape that’s created when a volcanic crater is formed after the collapse of an emptied magma chamber. Characterised by expressed crisp peaks that plunge into an elegant depression below the earth’s surface, the shape lends itself perfectly to semi-inset installations.
The basin is made from solid natural stone in Emperador Grey, which is incredibly strong, highly resistant to heat, and comes complete with a matching free flow waste cover.
Please note that due to the natural stone used, each basin will reveal unique mineral patterns. The basin is asymmetric and can only be installed in one direction.
Please Note: A protective sealant is applied to the marble to aid with porosity and contact with foreign substances – this will need to be reapplied over time when/if a visual change in appearance becomes apparent. Rogerseller recommends reapplication of protective sealant every 12 months, depending on use. Product to product will vary considerably in colour, shade & texture due the natural origins of the material.

This full relief full body exercise book details a multi-disciplinary approach that has proven success and tells exactly what to do. The steps involve exercise, diet, supplements, mind-body work, and drugs when necessary.


Beechnuts, high in protein and fat, are the primary fall and winter food for many forest wildlife species including Red, Gray and Flying Squirrels, Eastern Chipmunks, Black Bears, Blue Jays, Tufted Titmice, Wild Turkeys, and Ruffed and Spruce Grouse. The dependence of these animals on this food source makes them vulnerable to the American Beech’s cyclical nut production.
In the Northeast, American Beech (Fagus grandifolia) mast crops (amount of beechnuts produced by beech trees) have a two-year cycle: one year they produce an overabundance of nuts and the following year very few. Among other animals, Black Bears rely on these nuts to sustain themselves over the winter. That a bear’s nutritional health affects its reproductive health was documented in a study in Maine that showed that the mean proportion of female bears producing cubs decreased to 22% when a denning period followed a poor beechnut crop. During denning periods following good beechnut production, 80% of the productively available females produced cubs.
Many American Beech trees in the Northeast suffer from Beech Bark Disease which has seriously compromised their ability to produce nuts. Invasive scale insects (Cryptococcus fagisuga) invade a tree. Through a presently unknown mechanism, excessive feeding by these insects causes two different fungi (Neonectria faginata and Neonectria ditissima) to produce annual cankers on the bark of the tree. This disease decreases nut production, and eventually lesions around the tree girdle it and causes the tree’s death. The diminishing number of healthy beech trees will have a significant effect on consumers of beechnuts as well as a broad array of other organisms.

Congratulations to “Deb” – the first person to correctly identify the subject of the most recent Mystery Photo as young Eastern Black Walnuts!
Eastern Black Walnuts (Juglans nigra) produce abundant tiny male flowers on long, dangling, finger-like catkins. Female flowers, located on the same tree as male flowers, are fewer in number and are slightly larger. Being wind-pollinated, Black Walnut produces female flowers with stigmas (the top-most, pollen-receiving structures) which have a large surface area designed to catch pollen drifting in the wind. (These are the “rabbit ears.”) The stigmas often persist while the fruit matures — they are barely visible on the left walnut in photo.
By September, the walnuts will have matured. They then fall to the ground where their outer husk slowly decays. The fruits are well-known for leaching chemicals into the soil that inhibit the growth of other plants, an interaction known as “allelopathy” (literally meaning “making your neighbor sick”).

Beaked Hazelnut (Corylus cornuta), a multi-stemmed shrub, is named for its fruit — a nut with a tubular husk (a modified leaf known as an involucre) that extends at least an inch beyond the nut, resembling a beak. The surface of the involucre is covered with fine filaments that can irritate the skin. The fruit grows individually as well as in clusters. There are two species of hazel in the Northeast. The other, American Hazel (Corylus americana), lacks the prolonged husk and instead has a short involucre with fringed edges.
The nuts of Beaked Hazelnut may be roasted and eaten — they ripen in August and September. One must be quick to harvest them, however, as they are highly sought after by Ruffed Grouse, Hairy Woodpeckers, Blue Jays, White-tailed Deer and squirrels, due to being rich in protein and fat. Most (99 percent) of the hazelnuts consumed by the U.S. are from a European species of hazel and are grown in Oregon.

Coronavirus Coloring Pages: The Powerful Method to Deal with COVID-19 Stress in Children
Nowadays, more and more adults are suffering from mental disorders, let alone children. The ups and downs of social life during the last year are the reason for it. The psyche is not able to withstand prolonged isolation. In fact, in some cases, safety measures cause more damage to human health than the virus itself. Still, we are apt to deal with it. The best way to get over children's fear of coming down with the virus is to face it. And it would be better to deal with it on the covid 19 coloring pages only.
How a Coronavirus Coloring Book Can Reduce Stress?
It is human nature to be afraid of the unknown stuff – and the pandemic is a kind of it. Kids have no idea what COVID 19 is. They fantasize about it too much. Thus, children create an illusion that provokes emotional tension. You can help them! A virus coloring sheet is a good way to have a lively time while in isolation.
- The virus is no longer a monster. Children start to perceive a virus as a casual thing one can have contact with. In our case – on health coloring sheets. Seeing COVID as a cartoon image, kids stop imagining it as something terrible. Besides, adults should clarify it. It is better to tell your child about all the dangers of COVID infection but draw it mildly. Also, avoid showing anxiety. If a child has a so-called contact with the virus, the stress level goes down. The term contact means being aware of the ways of virus spreading, changes it can cause in our body, etc.
- Raise a child's awareness. When engaged in painting on a hospital coloring page, a kid becomes more interested in the topic. That is a great opportunity to speak about health. You may talk about healthcare in general since that is the very moment to keep a conversation going. One may start speaking about the importance of doctors in our lives. Step by step put the matter on a sound educational basis. Speak on such topics as healthy lifestyle, sport, etc. Children have a mind to ask questions as a rule. One can comprehend a wide range of themes while painting on a virus coloring sheet.
- There is no need to get bored. Isolation or hospitalization is languishing and disturbing, especially in a child's imagination. Nevertheless, you have a chance to make things better. Thanks to covid 19 coloring pages, you can kill two birds with one stone – pass the time and deal with fears. Kids are interested in everything going on. The coronavirus is the buzzword of the day in their perception. Subsequently, a coronavirus coloring book hits the nail on the head. You may speak seriously about sensitive issues.
In general, you have a lot of reasons to say thank you to coronavirus helpers coloring pages.
What are the Benefits of Children's Coloring Books?
- While painting an object, a child expands his knowledge of the shape, color. It also develops observation skills. Talk about the purpose or properties and qualities of what the child paints. Thus, you broaden a kid`s horizons.
- One improves fine motor skills when coloring, which positively affects thinking processes. You may raise the bar. As the child grows up, the number of small details on coloring pages should be increased. And it works well with all kinds of paintings. It does not matter what your child is going to paint – choose the difficulty level according to the age.
- Children's emotional-volitional sphere develops. A kid needs to try very hard so as not to go beyond the boundaries of the drawing. That is a complex task for them. One needs to learn how to control the pressure of the pencil so as not to tear the paper. Coloring develops perseverance in children too.
- Coloring pages are the way to learn the basics of fine arts. That is a whole world of creativity. Children learn to match colors and critically evaluate the result. In such a way, they advance artistic taste. Сovid 19 coloring pages distract from problems and bring them pleasure. Isn't it the very tool to help children during pandemic times?
- Coloring pages can greatly help deal with kids' anxiety.
There are plenty of ways to deal with stress. But it is very important to recognize it in the first place. Your little ones are also scared because of Covid-19. Don't think they can't understand the situation.

Aunlaz is a term used for a short dagger of English Infantry in the 14th C. The dagger we have depicted here is based on a 14th C, example from the collection of the Royal Armouries in Leeds. This dagger style is depicted in art and example from the early medieval period right through to the 16th C. this is a classic weapon of the medieval soldier.
While the original of this dagger is attributed as possibly English in origin by the Royal Armouries, many examples of this style appear in art, from the earliest we have found in the Hrabanus Maurus Monte Cassino, written in the second quarter of the 11th C., and seen in the famous Maciejowski Bible where it is depicted in several of the Battle scenes being employed by soldiers and Knights.
This style of fighting knife was popular throughout Europe and the H shaped hilt developed into the famous Holbien daggers of the Renaissance period. The hilt is crafted with hand formed steel guard and pommel and a stained hard wood grip.

What is cholesterol?
Cholesterol is being talked about a lot these days, and almost all the reports are confusing. They make “cholesterol” sound like a really bad thing to have. They don’t tell you that your own body manufactures cholesterol in the liver.
According to Taber’s Cyclopedic Medical Dictionary, cholesterol “is synthesized in the liver and is a normal constituent of bile....It is important in metabolism serving as a precursor to various steroid hormones (e.g., sex hormones, adrenal corticoids).”
What causes High Cholesterol?
Some people are inclined to manufacture more cholesterol than needed, for genetic reasons. It runs in the family. In other cases, too much cholesterol can be caused by a diet too heavy in the wrong kinds of fats, combined with too little exercise to burn up the calories, and being overweight.
Weight loss, changes in diet, and getting brisk exercise can go a long way to maintaining wellness.
What is blood pressure?
Blood pressure is basically a simple thing. Your doctor measures it to determine how strongly the blood is pumping through your veins. This gives the doctor a general idea of the health of your veins and heart. Most of the time, this system works perfectly, but a few things can cause difficulties.
If your results are high, it’s called high blood pressure, or hypertension.
If your veins accumulate debris, the inside of the “hose” is narrowed at that spot. The heart then has to work harder to force your blood through the narrowed area. This increases the pressure in your vascular system, and causes an extra strain on your heart, just as it does with a garden hose.
In most cases you won’t notice any symptoms of this condition. Your blood vessels won’t swell noticeably; there won’t be any bruising, and certainly no pain. You might notice a slightly faster heart beat, but probably not. This is why you need your doctor to test your blood pressure.
This is why it’s very important to support and maintain a normal healthy blood pressure.

Two severed legs found near a Connecticut train station earlier this month were from a homeless man last seen in May, and testing continues on two arms found nearby, authorities said Monday.
DNA testing by the state crime lab showed the legs discovered in New Haven on July 15 were those of 54-year-old Ray Roberson, said Officer David Hartman, the New Haven police spokesman.
The legs were found in thick foliage along the fence line of the State Street train station. The two arms, which did not have hands attached, were found in a plastic bag in the same area later the same day. Police said DNA tests on the arms are pending.
"This case is being investigated as a homicide although there is no indication yet as to where the homicide or dismemberments occurred," Hartman said in a statement.
Police are expected to release more details on the case at a news conference Monday afternoon.
Roberson had a mostly minor criminal record that included a 2012 felony conviction for violating a protective order, according to state court records. In that case, he was also convicted of violating the terms of a probation-like release program called conditional discharge and was sentenced to seven months in jail. Details of those convictions weren't immediately available.
He also had several other convictions for breach of peace and disorderly conduct, and had a pending breach of peace case in which he missed a June 17 court date.
DNA from the legs matched a DNA profile of Roberson that was in state offender databases, police said.
Authorities have not found any other body parts in the investigation, Hartman said.
