A poster presented at the 2012 Global Pulse Researchers Meeting, Kigali, Rwanda- “Transforming Grain-Legume Systems to Enhance Nutrition and Livelihoods”. Abstract: The study aimed to develop nutrient dense bean-based composite flour from beans and six other locally grown vegetables; to analyze its nutritive value and functional properties; to process soup from the developed flour and assess its consumer acceptability. Methodology: Fresh beans were subjected to a combined treatment of soaking, germination, de-hulling, parboiling, drying and milling into flour. Vegetables were subjected to: washing, size reduction, blanching, drying and milling. Flours obtained were mixed in different proportions. The mix was termed “CRSP – KIST – PANAMIX”. Four samples (A, B, C, and D) of the composite flour were formulated using bean, moringa leaves, potato, tomato, carrots, leeks and garlic flours in the ratios of 70:10:8:4:4:2:2 (A), 60:20:8:4:4:2:2 (B), 50:30:8:4:4:2:2 (C), and 40:40:8:4:4:2:2 (D). 15 panellists rated the prepared soups. Functional properties analyzed were bulk density, pH, oil absorption capacity; water absorption capacity and wettability. Results: Functional properties of sample A had 0.88 g/cc, 5.67, 2.4 ml/g, 5.8 ml/g and 50.6 seconds, respectively. Sample B had 0.86 g/cc, 5.45, 2.65 ml/g, 6.5 ml/g and 53 seconds, respectively. Proximate chemical composition of accepted combinations (A and B) of samples viz., ash, ?-carotene, calcium, carbohydrate, crude fat, crude protein, total energy, crude fiber and moisture content were 10.26%, 79.12 mg/100 g, 0.88%, 51.40%, 7.1%, 11.98%, 317.47 Kcal/g, 13.9% and 5.34%, respectively, for Sample A.It was 9.12%, 173.56 mg/100g, 1.06%, 46.26%, 11.00%, 13.825%, 339.34 Kcal/g, 12.42%, and 7.37%, respectively, for Sample B. Final sensory evaluation revealed no significant difference between soups (p<0.05). B was higher in ?-carotene, calcium, crude fat, crude protein and total energy. Significance: Soup made from common dry beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) was acceptable with high nutritional value.

Bice: Justice Daniel Kelly tries to raise money off controversy over his shooting range fundraiser
State Supreme Court Justice Daniel Kelly isn't just defending his decision to hold a fundraiser at a Waukesha County gun range one day after the Molson Coors shooting in Milwaukee last week.
Kelly is doubling down.
On Tuesday, his campaign sent out a fundraising solicitation attacking those who criticized the justice, a conservative appointed by former Republican Gov. Scott Walker, over the timing of the gun range fundraiser.
The email, written by campaign manager Charles Nichols, explained that the fundraiser was hosted by the Wisconsin Firearms Training Center. Nichols wrote the Brookfield shooting range "dedicates itself to providing our fellow Wisconsinites with the tools and training necessary to protect themselves and their families."
Nichols said Kelly's opponent, liberal Dane County Circuit Judge Jill Karofsky, and her allies were making a big deal out of the fact the fundraiser came so soon after the mass shooting. Kelly and Karofsky face off next month.
Last week, 51-year-old Anthony Ferrill shot and killed five co-workers at Molson Coors brewery before killing himself. It was the largest mass shooting in the Milwaukee area since 2012. The fundraiser was held about 26 hours later.
"This is not just an attack on Justice Kelly, this is an attack on everyone who cares about protecting themselves and the innocent people around them," Nichols wrote.
"With a contribution of $25, $50, $100, $250, or more today," he continued, "you can send a powerful message to Judge Karofsky’s allies that you stand with the brave and courageous people who protect themselves and the innocents around them."
The folks at the state Republican Party followed that up with a news release in which it turned the criticism of the fundraiser into an attack on gun owners.
"By launching such a distasteful attack, Karofsky’s allies apparently believe responsible gun-owners and mass murderers are one and the same," said the GOP release.
Of course, Karofsky and her supporters pushed back immediately.
Alanna Conley, spokeswoman for the Dane County judge's campaign, said the judge and her team are praying for the victims in last week's shooting and working to find solutions to the widespread problem of mass shootings.
Conley added Karofsky will uphold the U.S. Constitution and relevant case law, including the 2008 U.S. Supreme Court decision that said the right to bear arms is an individual right, not a collective one. Karofsky had said earlier that she believes that ruling, known as the Heller decision, still allowed communities to pass some gun control measures.
"It’s unfortunate that our politics have descended to this point," Conley said.
Courtney Beyer of the state Democratic Party was more succinct: "We wish Dan Kelly cared about gun violence as much as he does fundraising."
Kelly's response is reminiscent of the way that Supreme Court Justice Brian Hagedorn handled criticism of his past blog posts in which he said a U.S. Supreme Court decision striking down a Texas anti-sodomy law could lead to the legalization of bestiality.
Then-candidate Hagedorn argued that the criticism was actually an attack on his religious beliefs. He is an evangelical Christian.
At the Kelly fundraiser, hosts could give at three levels, including $5,000 for the "50 Cal M2HB" level, a reference to a Browning M2 .50-caliber machine gun.
A $2,500 donation put a supporter at the "25 ACP" level, named for a semi-automatic .25 caliber handgun. A $1,000 donation was the "10 mm" level, referring to a different semi-automatic handgun.
Contributors had the option to shoot at the range and could complete a background check before the fundraiser.

Whether you're annoyed by Valentine's Day or completely enamoured, the month of February reminds us to love. And to appreciate those who love us. I think those are good things.
In this post, I want to share with you two ideas to get you started. If you're a parent, you may like this idea. Basically it's inspiration to write what we appreciate about our kids (or spouse) on little hearts that we post on their bedroom door. Every morning they wake up to a new one. I didn't have any sticky tack, so I decided to just leave notes for them in random places. One of my friends is sewing little felt hearts for holding her messages.
Another idea for this month is found here. It's a free printable with short Scripture verses on love. The idea is to write one down every day. I've read that writing is an important way to process information, so this is brilliant! I took a little pad of coloured paper (all the pink sheets) and put one hole in the corner and tied them together with yarn. At the end, I'll have a cute little book of love reminders. And I'm really not that crafty--so anyone can do it!
There you have it--two ideas to inspire you this month. Enjoy!

The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) returns stunning images of objects from 10 B-LY across the Universe. What if someone asked you "What can Hubble see on real close objects in 'our neighborhood' such as the Moon or Pluto?" The answer may be surprising and is not at all difficult to compute. The purpose of this writeup is to encourage the curious to be only a pocket calculator away from such 'answers' at all times.
How sharp the image can be depends on the diameter of the primary optics (lens or mirror) and wavelength of light being observed. Thus diameter and wavelength combine to determine the "Resolving Power" or minimum angle between two distant objects (such as double stars) that the telescope can just resolve as "being two objects". The resolving angle, called Theta (θ), is expressed in units such as radians, degrees, or arc-sec. The two length measurements need only to be converted to identical units to produce (radian) angles, I like to use inches. For white light the average wavelength is very near 22 millionths of an inch (0.000022 inches). As for Hubble, the 'length' across the primary mirror diameter is 94.5 inches.
In radians, the HST resolving power or angle 'theta' that can be resolved is: (θ) = 1.22λ/d = 1.22* 22E-6/ 94.5 = 0.000000284 radians. So now the physical size of a 'pixel' projected on a distant object [for that telescope] can be determined. All that is needed is distance (30 AU = 2.8E+9 miles) to the object Pluto. The pixel size is = Distance*Theta = 2.8E+9*0.000000284 = 794 miles. Why are units expressed in miles?, pixel size units are the same as the units of the distance to the object, in this example, miles.
I like to think about the resolution angle of a telescope (in radians) being equal to the reciprocal of (No. of λ's) needed to stretch across the diameter of the primary mirror; actually, it is 1/(No. of λ's) needed to stretch across 82% of the mirror diameter.
Pluto is about 1450 miles diameter. So 1450/794 is 1.82 or about 2 pixels. Make a pixel array 2x2 for a total of 4 pixels and light from Pluto will just fill that 'image'. But the circular shape of a Pluto cannot be represented by 4 pixels (actually, 1.822=3.3 sq-pix). Each pixel is a square sensor and can only have one intensity; this means that HST looking at Pluto will have less than 4 pixels of useful information somewhere in the Hubble image array as shown on the Pluto Image below.
An interesting exercise (above) is to draw square arrays or matrices from 2x2 to 10x10 (tic-tac-toe 3x3) and fill in squares to represent a circle. For comparison Epson MX-100 Character Array used a 9x8 dot matrix to create printer ASCII characters; small print plus the minds eye helps reduce 'stair steps' to produce smooth character appearance. A circle is impossible to represent on a single 2x2 pixel image and looks like a (+) on a 3x3 matrix. The 4-corners of the plus in a 3x3 do collect a bit of light which helps the minds eye start to interpret a circular shape. 9x9 Pix begins looking pretty circular in the cartoon diagram.
The right hand image (above) shows the optimum pixel size overlaid on Pluto. Keep in mind that an actual HST pixel array could have larger or smaller pixels than the optimum shown. Likely, the CCD has smaller pixels; It is easy to over-kill a smidge on pixel smallness (more pixels) and difficult to over-kill on resolution (need a larger telescope mirror).
If the pixels were larger, then the resolution HST is capable of would not be realized (hereasy). If the pixels were say 4 times smaller, adjacent pairs of pixels would contain identical information since the telescope could not resolve that smaller radian angle. The diffraction limit bounds useful magnification; more pixels or magnification yields no improvement in an image.
NASA is clever beyond my ability to articulate. Algorithms can superimpose multiple images and dithering (accurately known motion of the image across pixel boundaries) can permit determination of the rough size and color of objects and features to more accuracy than resolution alone would permit from a single image. The 'dithering' technique works because Hubble's pointing accuracy angle is several times better than its resolving angle (θ). Colors can be enhanced. I saw a HST 'movie' of Pluto showing rotation and a dark feature; the image was, of course, blurry and lacking detail but looks extremely spherical. The JWST will image Pluto detail about 4x better than Hubble, but will still be quite limited. We have to wait until 2015 for New Horizons Spacecraft (by JHUAPL for NASA) to return really great pictures of Pluto, given that all goes well. Can't wait...
What about the Moon? An optimum Hubble pixel there is 360 feet square. A license tag would have to be about 0.4 miles tall and over 1 mile wide for Hubble to be able to read the tag number. On the other hand, a full pixel array at the moon distance would be 30,000 by 30,000 pixels or would represent a 900 mega-pixel photo. The moon is so bright an ND filter would probably have to be inserted to protect the CCD array.
θ = 1.22(λ)/d came from Diffraction of light experiments performed by Fraunhoffer. Light from a point source was made to fall on a narrow slit of height (b) and the light passing through the slit was made to fall on a screen located at (S) distance. The light was found to be diffracted into bright and dark regions in a direction perpendicular to the length of the slit. The center region behind the slit was bright and dimmed to zero on each side at a distance of mλ/b where m is any integer ≠zero. If the slit is replaced by circular aperture the expression changes to θ = mλ/d where m is no longer integers. m=1.22 (Lommel#1) is the first minima which yields the resolving power of circular aperture telescopes θ = 1.22λ/d. It is Fraunhoffer diffraction of light that describes the maximum resolving power of any telescope.
There are currently a host of telescopes in orbit that cover the electromagnetic spectrum from x-ray to infrared and very large aperature ground based radio telescopes. Infrared telescopes need a larger aperture (primary mirror) to achieve same resolution as those for visible light because of the longer wavelength of IR light. The James Webb Space telescope (JWST) is scheduled for launch in 2018. The JWST has a 256 Inch segmented mirror made of gold coated beryllium that will reflect wavelengths from 0.6 microns to 27 microns.
Two really neat capabilities of the JWST: 1) From the Wein displacement law one can predict that the JWST will be able to see light from bodies as cold as minus 270 oF (oK = 2898/27). And 2) Infrared (IR) light is not attenuated by dust which will allow JWST to see incredibly more clearly to the 4 million sun monster black hole at the center of our galaxy (Sagittarius A).
When an optical system is advertised as "diffraction limited" it means that the "figure" or shape of the primary is a parabola to an accuracy of 1/4 to 1/10 of a wavelength of light it will be collecting. For Hubble, the 94.5 inch diameter mirror surface was ground and polished parabolic to within about 0.000022/10 or 0.000002 inches (2 millionths of an inch). At least, that was the original plan. The mirror was ground to required accuracy, but the figure was not parabolic which led to the enormous disappointment when Hubble saw 'first light'. As buffs know, a 1st mission to Hubble (on orbit) had a corrective optical element (COSTAR) inserted that made the optical system focus as a parabola. COSTAR has since been replaced.
A telescope cannot do better than diffraction limited optics will produce. But it can do worse. On Earth, 'seeing' affects image quality; choose a high altitude dark sky's away from noise light sources. Seeing can be improved with active corrective mirror surface control; that is being done to help cancel atmospheric disturbance. On orbit location removes atmospheric degradation. I do remember when HST had perturbation problems due to the attitude control system reacting to "in and out" of sunlight heating; that must be totally solved at this point in time. The JWST will have a "sun shade".

A police operation is to try and improve life on a group of streets in Blyth.
Officers from the Blyth Neighbourhood Policing team are working with Safer Northumberland on the ‘12 streets campaign’ in the Cowpen area.
Throughout February and March, the campaign will focus on Wright Street, Beaumont Street, Disraeli Street, Salisbury Street, Gladstone Street, Hambledon Street, Durban Street, Goschen Street, Balfour Street, Maddison Street, Hall Terrace and Hodgson’s Road.
Officers will work closely with the local authority and other key agencies to address issues such as anti-social behaviour, waste accumulation, drug offences, road safety, lighting and rogue landlords.
Blyth Neighbourhood Inspector, Grant Dawson, said: “The 12 streets campaign is a real partnership effort and aims to improve quality of life for residents of Cowpen Quay and make it an even safer place to live in.
“The campaign is a direct result of intelligence gained from the community last year. During the visits officers and cadets talked to residents about key issues of concern and where they would like to see police and partner action.
“We’re committed to not only tackling issues such as waste and fly tipping but getting to the root of the problem and working with our partners to prevent the issues reoccurring.”
“We will be working closely with Safer Northumberland and other key agencies to identify residents who are vulnerable in the community and ensuring they are directed to the right agency and receive the right support.
“Throughout this month residents will see an increased police presence in Cowpen Quay as officers carry out the operation and we encourage anyone who may have concerns or who may be worried about a vulnerable neighbour, relative or friend to speak with an officer face-to-face so we can take appropriate action.”
Northumbria Police and Crime Commissioner, Vera Baird, said: “I welcome this proactive policing from Northumbria Police which is working with partners to tackle issues of great importance to local residents.
“Protecting the vulnerable is an absolute priority for me and I am confident that this project will have a positive impact for our communities in Blyth. I look forward to seeing more projects develop as part of Operation Merlin and wish this campaign every success.”
Northumberland County Councillor Liz Simpson, chair of Safer Northumberland, said “This initiative is all about agencies working together for the long-term benefit of the community.
“It’s important we provide long-term solutions as well as quick fixes, but no one organisation can do everything. That’s why so many agencies have come together to provide a range of support and solutions.”
Local Ward County Councillor Kath Nisbet added: “I know the vast majority of local residents are honest and law-abiding and just want the best for the community.
“Throughout the initiative the council is working in partnership with ICCQ (Improving Croft and Cowpen Quay) street reps and I hope Operation Merlin will make a real difference by targeting the small minority who cause problems and it will make a real positive difference to local people.”

Cities are challenging, both to live in and to define. They are each a unique life form constructed from many smaller ones. For some they are amazing, baffling or frustrating, particularly for the planners and architects responsible for so much of the life that goes on within them. For others, they are a place for living. You may feel alone in the city but you are actually always among others.
Art provides us with various creative methods for engaging with the complexity of urban environments. “We need art,” writes Jane Jacobs in her book The Death and the Life of Great American Cities, “to show us meanings, to illuminate the relationship between the life that each of us embodies and the life outside us.” Owing to the intimate relationship it maintains with its subject matter, Under The Cranes, from the first-time filmmaker Emma-Louise Williams, is a lively and complex portrait of Hackney that does not conform to conventional genres, nor does it attempt to explain or document Hackney in any straightforward manner. Instead it is both an artistic response to the area in film and sound, and an adaptation of a “play for voices” about the East London borough, written by the children’s writer and broadcaster Michael Rosen. The film is also a gentle provocation, challenging the rhetoric of council-led regeneration and development initiatives by choosing to focus on the people and the buildings that are affected by various top-down decision-making processes. This focus resists the possibility of the film becoming perhaps too inward-looking, and allows Hackney’s current situation to be considered alongside those of other places around the UK affected by regeneration projects.
The film is incredibly well researched, disclosing various little-known facts about the past and present of Hackney, including its diverse communities and its history of highly skilled manual labour. The adapted script from Hackney Voices is accompanied by original footage of present-day Hackney and rarely seen archive footage depicting social life and events in the borough. It is also interspersed with poignant musical intervals and shots of paintings made of the area that reflect the artistic nature of Williams’ own response in the film.
In its meticulous research, subject matter, and imaginative, trans-temporal narrative, Under the Cranes recalls the writing of Iain Sinclair, or the films of Patrick Keiller, particularly with the long shots and the static camera. However whereas Sinclair and Keiller both maintain a singular, overarching and authoritative narrator throughout their work, this film maintains the kaleidoscope of Hackney Voices from Rosen’s play. It even brings in more new voices (the old woman who explains, “I used to run the buses during the war… not a lot of people know that” was an addition suggested by Williams).
It was Jane Jacobs who wrote, “Intricate minglings of different uses in cities are not a form of chaos. On the contrary, they represent a complex and highly developed form of order.” Not only is there no master narrator that leads a viewer through this film, Under the Cranes, like the urban environment it seeks to portray, is a delicate “mingling” of diverse components that come together in a similarly complex form of order. The words of Jacobs, “Lively, diverse, intense cities contain the seeds of their own regeneration,” are a fitting epigraph to this film, where spoken words and pictures jostle and interweave in friendly and lively difference.
The editing of sound and images is carefully done and a sophisticated achievement. For example, in one moment from the film, we see archive footage of slum housing from the early 20th Century. At the same time a male narrator recalls the sight of decrepit and falling-down housing, which corresponds with this footage, but suddenly the camera cuts to a present-day shot of the interior of Sutton House and the narrator talks about a man named Burbage building a theatre. At this moment we realise that the voice actually belongs to William Shakespeare, and that we have seamlessly traveled backwards and forwards through time over hundreds of years, simultaneously, in a matter of minutes. The ability to achieve such instantaneous and simultaneous time-space travel is unique to film and brilliantly executed here. It is as the British film artist Tacita Dean explained, “Art on film makes us conscious of the time and space we occupy, and gives us an insight into the nature of time itself.” Chronological time is here revealed to be in fact merely an idea among many others. It is the people in this film, with all their idiosyncratic stories, that are seen to endure.
The film has been accused of being nostalgic, presumably suggesting that the film is in some way delusional (nostalgia in Western cultures was first diagnosed as a psychological illness that inflicted soldiers at war), or that it in some way romanticises Hackney. Beyond the fact that there is nothing romantic about the decrepit buildings, squalid living conditions or fascist, anti-Semitic rallies that feature in the archive footage (as Williams has been keen to emphasise in post-film Q&A sessions), I find such observations about the film to be misjudged. A lot of the archive footage in the film features the lives of working people and their families. When cameras were still a novelty in the everyday lives of ordinary people, they tended to be reserved for celebrations or happy occasions (in fact, they often still are if the pictures on most people’s Facebook profiles account for anything). The early, domestic still-image cameras didn’t work properly unless it was a sunny day, hence giving the misguided perception that it was always sunny, back in those days. It seems unfortunate that the film’s focus on everyday people through its use of the archive might be mistaken for being merely a nostalgic tendency, when it seems more appropriately an attempt to bring working-class people back into the history of what is a working-class area, through a considered use of images.
Nostalgia, as Milan Kundera explained in his novel Ignorance, is precisely the feeling of an unappeased longing to return somewhere. The Welsh, as it happens, have their own word for nostalgia: hiraeth, which has no direct English translation but means, approximately, the longing for a home that no longer exists, or perhaps never did. While Under the Cranes makes emotional and bittersweet references to the past lives of Hackney, it never appears to express longing for a lost past. On the contrary, the film demonstrates how much the past and present are intimately connected. It is critical of the loss of London’s progressive post-war social housing initiatives, and their replacement with profit-driven regeneration projects. But when considered alongside other recent works that document and lament these various and seemingly irreconcilable changes—such as Ian Sinclair’s book Hackney, That Rose Red Empire, and the more recent London Preambulator and The Four Aces—Under the Cranes stands out for its unique form of optimism. Far from nostalgic delusion and longing, there is instead a sense that overcoming struggle is historically part of the fabric of this area. And history is a bit like a London bus: it goes round and round and, as Rosen’s poem reassures us, “It’ll get there today. And it’ll get there tomorrow.”
The next screening of Under the Cranes will be at the Bishopsgate Institute on Wednesday, 13 February 2013 at 7pm. For more information and to arrange a screening of the film, visit underthecranes.blogspot.com, and follow @underthecranes on Twitter.

Rose Bowl Baby2 Stars02-22-2018I'm 5'4" and this dress just overwhelmed me below the waist. It was also too big in the bodice. The design and color seemed fresh in the photo, but too little-girl-like in person. At 45 I feel like I couldn't get away with it. Glad I gave it a try though!How does it fit? Too BigOverall Quality?

That's how many bouts Brian Ebersole and Dennis Hallman have between them in their respective mixed martial arts careers (enough to make them legitimate tough guys). However, throughout all those battles, not once have they crossed paths ... until now.
Ebersole will ride into "The City of Brotherly Love" on an eight-fight win streak, including spoiling Chris Lytle's welterweight title aspirations in his Octagon debut back on Feb. 27.
The longtime veteran drew a tough match-up in his debut with the world's largest fight promotion but made the most of it, knocking off "Lights Out" and winning "Fight of the Night" in the process.
His reward is a bout against the one and only "Superman."
Dennis Hallman has been building his reputation as a knockaround guy since the late 90s, with his most notable wins coming against UFC Hall of Famer and former Welterweight Champion Matt Hughes.
The American boasts 33 career submission wins, two of which came at the expense of Hughes. And although there were brief calls for a third and final fight between the two as their careers seemingly wind to a close, that notion never picked up enough steam to come to fruition.
Instead, Hallman will square off against Ebersole in a scrap of two welterweights who deserve a lot more respect than they're getting.
Ready for war?
UFC 133 is set to go down on August 6, 2011, from the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Vitor Belfort vs. Yoshihiro Akiyama is set for the main card, as well as a middleweight throwdown between Jorge Rivera and Alessio Sakara.
Stay tuned to MMAmania.com for future updates to this still-developing fight card.

Tea, particularly tea leaf, is commonly aforementioned to be sensible for your health. Tea contains substances coupled to a lower risk for heart condition, cancer, and polygenic disease. however keep tea’s healthy boost in perspective, says the Sep 2014 Harvard Men’s Health Watch.
“Tea consumption, particularly tea leaf, might not be the cure, however it is incorporated in Associate in Nursing overall healthy diet with whole grains, fish, fruits and vegetables, and fewer red and processed meat,” says vitality Sun, prof within the Department of Nutrition at the Harvard college of Public Health.
The main health-promoting substances in tea square measure polyphenols, specifically catechins and epicatechins. research laboratory and animal studies say these molecules have anti-inflammatory drug and inhibitor properties. Harvard-led studies of enormous teams of individuals over time have found that tea or low drinkers square measure at lower risk for polygenic disease and probably disorder. low conjointly contains polyphenols.
Now here’s the key caveat: It remains unclear whether or not the tea itself is that the reason behind these edges and, if so, however it works its magic. The studies decide to rule out the likelihood that tea drinkers merely live healthier lifestyles, however it’s troublesome to make sure. That said, tea itself seems to possess no harmful effects apart from a case of the jitters if you drink an excessive amount of caffeinated brew. It fits in utterly well with a wholesome fashion.
One necessary warning: A cup of tea contains solely a few calories. Processed, sugar-sweetened tea beverages square measure loaded with additional calories. “If there square measure any health edges to tea leaf consumption, it’s most likely utterly offset by adding sugar,” Sun says.

Android and Apple iPhone owners would soon be able to play a “The Legend of Zelda” game on their smartphones. Nintendo is developing a game for the two OS and would release the new game after the developer releases the iPhone version of “Animal Crossing” which was initially scheduled for release in April but Nintendo delayed its launch.
Nintendo, which is also the developer of “Pokemon GO,” released in March “The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild,” together with the launch of Nintendo Switch. Other games rolled out by Nintendo include “Super Mario Run” in late 2016 and “Fire Emblem: Heroes” in January. The new installment of “The Legend of Zelda” for the iPhone and Android would be released after the launch of “Animal Crossing” in the second half of 2017, 9TO5Mac reports.
However, The Wall Street Journal, which broke the news about “The Legend of Zelda” game for iOS and Android devices, says the launch date could be flexible. Rumors about the game include it would be a full 3D RPG or something entirely different.
The Nintendo Switch and “The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild” are selling briskly. The game sells for $60, but its price for the iPhone and Android versions is still unknown. MacRumors notes that “The Legend of Zelda” for the iPhone would be the fifth game that Nintendo has developed for iOS and Android gadgets.
The five games were supposed to roll out in March, but only “Fire Emblem: Heroes,” “Super Mario Run,” and “Miitomo” were released according to the Nintendo timetable, CNET reports. Besides the new “The Legend of Zelda” game for iPhone and Android phones, The Pokemon Company also plans to release a new card-game app. Although there are no details about the app, speculations say that the new iPhone game could revolve around real-life trading cards that are also popular with gamers.

Arnold Schwarzenegger revealed last month that he's still hoping to reconcile with estranged wife Maria Shriver. But dining al fresco with a much younger lady might not be the best way to facilitate such a reunion.
Last Friday in Santa Monica, the former governor and sometime two-timer, 65, was snapped laughing and chatting over a cozy dinner with a blond identified by the New York Daily News as Heather Milligan, 38, a physical therapist who counts several professional athletes among her clientele.
The two have plenty in common, what with Milligan dedicating her professional life to physical fitness and Ahnuld achieving stardom by lifting heavy objects with his rippling, Mr. Universe-approved muscles.
Another plus: Milligan appears to be discreet. She deleted a birthday tweet she sent to the actor last July, and when the Daily News called her for comment on the hookup rumors, a receptionist at her Westchester, Calif., practice explained, "She's not going to make herself available. She's not going to talk."
Schwarzenegger's 25-year marriage to Shriver hit the skids in May 2011 amid revelations that he'd fathered a son with the family's housekeeper.

Microsoft has issued a new update for the Skype Universal Windows App today. The Skype Preview UWP is still not widely available, but Insiders can get version 188.8.131.52 with the new release. In terms of changes, they remain limited as we draw close to the GA launch.
Build 184.108.40.206 comes with the expected bug fixes and improvements, but it also lands a feature. Namely, users can now select Skype UWP as one of the applications that can give quick status notifications on the lock screen.
It is hardly a huge changelog, but this one feature alone is excellent. Not least because it means users can now see quickly and more efficiently a Skype notification. It is worth noting that this does not mean Skype Preview UWP can become the default app of choice on lock screen.
Microsoft is launching the Windows 10 Anniversary Update on August 2. With that upgrade the company's Universal Windows Platform will move into full gear. That's when the preview UWP apps will leave the Insider Program and roll out to end users.
Skype as a Universal app is one of the most welcome. Microsoft pissed off most users by splitting Skype services amongst Windows applications. The company announced earlier in the year that it was changing its mind. That means Skype is now rolled into one service with the Anniversary Update.
With the UWP tag, Skype will function equally for users across form factors. Users on PC will get the same Skype as those on Windows 10 Mobile. The Universal Windows Platform also incorporates other Microsoft devices, like HoloLens and Xbox.


The three men described by Russian website Pravda.ru as slain American “mercenaries” were deployed to Ukraine with the Tennessee National Guard in 2018 as part of a multinational training mission to support the Ukrainian military. All three had come back to the US by 2019, the Guard said.
Two of the three remain in the Tennessee National Guard and are in Tennessee, a US official told CNN on Friday, while one of them has left the Guard but is alive and has not been in Ukraine during the 2022 war.
“They are accounted for, safe and not, as the article headline erroneously states, US mercenaries killed in Donetsk People’s Republic,” the Guard said, attributing the information to the office of the Tennessee Adjutant General.
But neither the Telegram posts nor Pravda.ru provided evidence that the flag was in the possession of any American killed in Ukraine this year. It’s possible that the flag, if authentic, was a gift from the prior Tennessee National Guard deployment to Ukraine.

As a church, we want to keep being creative in the ways that we communicate and enjoy the truth of the gospel. We are currently developing a small film project about Jesus’ teaching on the Kingdom of God and we would love your help! In a world that is acquainted with ‘selfies’ and ‘vlogs’ – we know that most of us are happy to video ourselves!!
Could you video yourself on your phone speaking, or reading one of the passages about the Kingdom of God (click here see suggested verses). We would like you to take your films in everyday places; in the supermarket, at the office, at the school gate, in the park.
If you could then send your video to Josh in the office, he will work his creative magic on pulling a film together!
Can’t wait to see what and where you film!


Trying to use the Windows Client 2.8.1 and bootstrap a new controller. I currently have an issue with having to call out the instance-type, but I’m tracking that in another thread. This one is to report the issue that the client has, trying to SSH into the controller during bootstrap.
So assuming I have called out the instance-type in order to avoid the “The requested size for resource…is currently not available in location…” error, I issue the following bootstrap command.
juju bootstrap azure/southcentralus test-controller --credential azure-dev-platform-sub --constraints instance-type=Standard_D2s_v3 --debug
Everything goes great up until Juju tries to connect to the controller instance it just created. I then see the following in the logs…
## This is normal while waiting for the machine to open up network access. 17:44:42 DEBUG juju.provider.common bootstrap.go:615 connection attempt for 126.96.36.199 failed: ssh: connect to host 52.xxx.xxx.20 port 22: Connection timed out
## But once we get connectivity, I get the following ## which repeats until the timeout period is up and the operation fails and rolls back 17:45:44 DEBUG juju.provider.common bootstrap.go:615 connection attempt for 52.xxx.xxx.20 failed: No RSA host key is known for 52.xxx.xxx.20 and you have requested strict checking. Host key verification failed.
Things I’ve tried
- I can manually add the host keys while this is occurring, with no different result
- I can SSH using command line parameters to bypass strict host checking to connect to the host successfully
- I can update my
~/.ssh/configto bypass strict host checking
All these things allow me to connect from my local SSH client, but I assume that the client is using a bundled OpenSSH client which is not reading my local SSH settings. Because none of these produce a successful bootstrap.
I think this is a bug with the Windows client only. But I am not able to try using the Linux or Mac clients. I almost could test using the Linux client by running in a container, but the container is only able to run 2.7.6 right now due to availability of the Linux binary. I suppose I could build the Linux binary into a container, but I don’t have the cycles to do that now.
I’m hoping that someone else can reproduce this on a Windows client to verify this is a bug and not just a problem on my system.

As the owner, you will like to make your home look as attractive as possible. Much like the interior space, where you live in, you need to focus on the outdoor ambience and make it fun, lively and functional. With proper setup and decoration, you will easily be able to transform your outdoor areas such as patio, porch and yard into an amazing space that would allow your family to enjoy sunshine and fresh air. Here are some outdoor space ideas for decoration that will add to the functionality of the space.
Go for bold colors
When decorating the outdoor area, go for bold and vibrant colors. Choose accessories and furniture with bright colors, which can make the space come alive and even make the indoor area inviting for visitors. Do not choose black and darker colors which trap heat and make furniture very hot to sit on. When bright colors are used in outdoor settings, they add gaiety, excitement and fun.
Go for creative lighting
Another of the best outdoor space ideas is to try efficient lighting, which would improve the appeal and mood of your outdoor living area. Although electric bulbs are good for everyday purposes, it is during party occasions that you can try some dramatic ideas by adding candles, torches and lanterns to add some mystery to the environment. This would also help you to highlight the best elements and hide the unattractive parts beneath the shadows. In ordinary situations, let your lights point upwards to highlight your home. If you want a soft glow, point your lights downwards.
Incorporate a water body
If you have a larger outer space, you can also add a water feature which would make the ambience look more calm and elegant. There are amazing cascading waterfalls and even store-purchased fountains that can be added to the external space. You may even hire professionals to make a small pond in the garden area with some colorful fish inside and beautiful saplings planted all around except the front area.
Add an open air kitchen
You can also add an open air kitchen to the outdoor section, which would save innumerable trips to the indoors when you are hosting a party. The kitchen could comprise of a pizza oven, a sink, a grill, a cooking area and even a fridge. This is one of the best outdoor space ideas that can be useful for those who hold outdoor parties often.

Nearly 3,000 kidneys harvested for organ donation are being discarded in spite of thousands of people die waiting for the right kidney for transplantation.
Recent figures reveal that 2,600 to 2,800 kidneys harvested from deceased donors for organ donation were discarded as they were believed to have problems.
However experts say that at least half that number of kidneys could be saved if the system that allocates the kidney improved to match the right kidney to the right recipient at the right time.
Experts say that the current matching process is not efficient as it is based on an outdated matching program and inconclusive tests. "The hardest decision we make in deceased organ transplant is whether to accept a given organ for a given patient. It's all odds, based on information that is incomplete at best", Dr Gabriel Danovitch, the medical director of the kidney transplant program at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center, said.

It is easy for people to criticize others in a public forum where they don’t have to face those they attempt to harass. Unfortunately, this is just another form of harassment and bullying. For instance, take Kim Novak-once a great beauty and beloved star who suffered from both a breakdown and cancer and is 81 years old. What pleasure can anyone take from speaking cruelly about her? Many say “because she is a public figure, we have the right to criticize.” Do we?
What do you think? Is it right to speak unkindly about anyone’s appearance? Is it right to criticize an elderly person because he or she can’t “quip” with those younger than they? Is it okay to berate someone because they goofed up and mispronounced a name? Think of it like this: If you were the object of this type of criticism, how would you feel? Human beings are all basically fragile when it comes to what other people think and say about us. Why be the one to inflict pain on another?
In the case of Kim Novak, she was a trouper for getting up there and making no secret that she was having a problem. Academy Award winner, Matthew McConaughey, was her co-presenter, and he was wonderful, rescuing her beautifully and leaving her with her dignity. Isn’t that something we’d all like to do?

Failures by surgeon and his team led to death in a routine op
A leading surgeon and his team have been severely criticised for "personal and institutional failings" during a minor operation which ended the life of a Co Armagh woman.
A senior coroner described the level of care by the team led by Professor Neil McClure at the Ulster Independent Clinic over two years ago as "substandard".
Lynn Lewis (38) from Ahorey died from a combination of hyponatraemia and haemorrhaging after a relatively routine operation to remove a fibroid from her uterus.
This was the second inquest into the death of a young woman which the leading consultant obstetrician and gynaecologist has been criticised over.
Nurse Janine Murtagh (31) was operated on over 11 years ago by Prof McClure to establish a potential cause of infertility for her.
She died several days later from developing peritionitis from a surgical complication where her bowel was perforated and had gone unnoticed by medical staff.
Senior coroner John Leckey, who also heard Mrs Murtagh's inquest in 2004 and recommended that lessons should be learnt from her death, said yesterday that Mrs Lewis would not have died "if the appropriate measures and precautions had been taken".
His report and findings into the death on July 7, 2011, will be sent to Health Minister Edwin Poots and chief medical officer so that "lessons could be learnt".
He will also be sending his report to all medical directors of Northern Ireland hospitals to highlight the learning points of the case, particularly in relation to the monitoring of fluids introduced during the operation, which caused Mrs Lewis' fatal brain swell.
While Mr Leckey declined to make any comment on "questions of criminal or civil liability", he added: "The candid statement I received on behalf of Professor McClure, Dr Hughes and the Ulster Independent Clinic and the nursing staff speaks for itself... the failings were both personal and institutional."
After the inquest, Mrs Lewis' husband Mark spoke of the family's "bitter disappointment that Lynn was failed in so many ways".
"It is our sincere hope that the systems and individuals who contributed to Lynn's death have learned clear and powerful lessons and that they accept the responsibility they bear for their actions on that dreadful day," he said.
Stephen Murtagh, the husband of Janine Murtagh, who attended throughout Mrs Lewis' inquest, said last night: "The criticisms of the surgeon today and the surgical care are the same as they were nine years ago at Janine's inquest.
"Again, lessons should have been learnt so that no other family goes through what I did and Mrs Lewis' family. What is the coroner going to do about this?"
The inquest also heard of "significant deficiencies in team work and team dynamics when Mrs Lewis was in theatre".
Mr Leckey accepted expert medical evidence that the haemorrhage which Mrs Lewis suffered was "potentially survivable but the untreated hyponatraemia was not".
Individual failings in responsibilities were acknowledged by Prof McClure, anaesthetist Dr Damien Hughes and the Ulster Independent Clinic and nursing staff in a co-signed statement read to the inquest. All parties directly apologised to Mrs Lewis' husband Mark, her parents Jim and Marie Woods and extended family for their individual responsibilities during the operation.
Prof McClure was not present at the inquest's final day yesterday.

out of town tripping
it was my 50th post to wardrobe_remix (yay!) and it felt wonderful. i’m just happy to be part of a community of people who share nothing but love and appreciation for each other’s creativity and passion for fashion (among other things).
so for my 50th post, i went for a 50’s-inspired outfit. with, of course, a more modern flair.
plaid skirt – thrifted
tights – local mall
shoes of utter fabulousness – thrifted
purse – local bazaar
floral scarf – thrifted
cuff – sillymeclothing (local brand)
*oh, and i was glad to have incorporated a scarf in an outfit. i’ve never really done that, except for the usual knitted kind for more practical purposes. i also kinda liked the idea that the only non-knit scarf i own is pink and floral.
the gorgeous scenery was courtesy of the taal volcano (and lake!) in tagaytay. we passed through there on our way to batangas, where we attended my two cousins’ birthday party. it was a fun fun day! i missed going on road trips and taking a million pictures per second.

The Institute of Medicine (IOM) conducted a study in which it estimated that at least 44,000 to 98,000 preventable medical errors that result in death occur in United States hospitals annually. Even the lower figure of 44,000 deaths causes preventable medical errors to rank in the top ten leading causes of death in the United States. Following the release of this report, a large-scale effort to reduce these errors has been undertaken by hospitals nationwide, Indiana hospitals included. It appears to be working because Indiana hospitals saw a decrease in errors from 2008 to 2009.
In the Indianapolis Star article “Indiana’s preventable medical errors fall,” author Daniel Lee notes the overall drop in reported medical errors in the state from 105 errors annually in both 2007 and 2008 to 94 errors in 2009. In part, the decline can be attributed to the Department of Health’s Indiana Pressure Ulcer Initiative, a program aimed at reducing pressure ulcers (also called bed sores). Bed sores decreased by 33% in 2009 to 22 from 33 in 2008. Indiana University Health (formerly Clarian Health) reported the highest number of errors at 18, however, it is also the busiest hospital system in the state. The most common errors were retention of a foreign object (29 instances) and surgery on the incorrect body part (17 instances).

Milwaukee venture capital fund closes on second transaction
- Rich Kirchen
Capital Midwest Fund II, a Milwaukee venture capital fund that invests in Great Lakes region tech and science-related firms, has closed its second deal — Therapeutic Proteins Inc., a Chicago company that develops generic biological drugs.
Capital Midwest Fund ultimately will invest $5 million to $8 million in the company, but Stephen Einhorn, senior partner of the fund, would not disclose the amount of the initial investment.
Therapeutic Proteins is planning to start production by the end of the year on two separate drugs. One drug will be used for treating HIV and kidney failure and another for treating cancer.
The company has a backlog of $20 million in orders, all of them outside the United States, Einhorn said.
The company is awaiting U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval, which will make its products marketable both inside and outside the United States, he said.
“We purchased them because they’re consistent with our fund strategy,” Einhorn said. “They met our criteria — they save time, money and energy.”
Capital Midwest Fund leaders also liked the 20-employee company’s skilled and experienced management team. Therapeutic Proteins is located at the University Technology Park at the Illinois Institute of Technology.
Capital Midwest Fund is led by Einhorn, previously president of Einhorn Associates Inc., Wauwatosa, and Teresa Esser, of Silicon Pastures, a Milwaukee angel investing firm. The fund closed in May its first round of fundraising that totaled $25 million, and has an ultimate goal of raising $100 million.
In May, Capital Midwest Fund closed on its first deal with Hardcore Computer, Rochester, Minn., which created a device to cool computer servers.
Einhorn and Esser have a goal of devoting about half of the fund’s investments to Wisconsin companies.

A group of older people face eviction from their care home after
a high court judge ruled that their human rights had not been
infringed by a decision to close Delamere House in Merseyside.
Lawyers for nine of the 26 residents of the home, which is owned
by private company Southern Cross, challenged the local
authority’s decision, arguing that there had not been proper
consideration of the fact that moving “could be their death” and
that their right to life under the European Convention on Human
Rights had been infringed.
But Mr Justice Silber said that there was “totally inadequate
evidence” to suggest this was the case.
St Helens Council welcomed the ruling and said the case
highlighted the national problem of funding for care homes. A
spokesperson said that the decision to close the home was “made by
the company who own it and was not a council decision”, and that
the council had been making arrangements for new placements for the
Fenella Morris, who appeared for the council, said that spending
too much on Delamere House would have created risks to other
individuals dependent on council services.
She added that Southern Cross had threatened to close the home
within seven days unless the authority met their demand for
£450 per week for each resident. The council’s offer of
£413 was rejected.

Jackson is working on a £3.5m project for Calderdale Metropolitan Borough Council to ease traffic congestion along the A629 towards Halifax town centre.
Once complete, it’s estimated that journey times from the M26 to Halifax town centre will be reduced by 30% for cars, and up to 50% for buses.
The scheme includes widening the existing A629 at Salterhebble Hill into four lanes, installing new traffic lights and improving the facilities for pedestrians and cyclists.
The project also involves installing 500 steel soil nails into the rock surface of the hillside at Salterhebble to support its steep structure. The hill will then be planted up to create a vertical garden which will also help to improve the air quality by absorbing carbon dioxide and nitrogen dioxide.
Calderdale Council’s Cabinet Member for Regeneration and Economic Development, Councillor Barry Collins said: “Our projections estimate that traffic using the A629 will increase by 18 per cent over the next decade and without these improvements the road would be gridlocked for much of the day."
“By improving these links between the M62 and Halifax town centre, from 20 minutes to around 14 minutes, it will become a very attractive place to do business.”
The A629 project is the largest individual scheme in the West Yorkshire Combined Authority’s West Yorkshire Plus Transport Fund programme, which is investing £1 billion over 10 years in more than 30 transport infrastructure schemes across West Yorkshire and York.


Just over a month ago, YouTube dropped a pretty big bomb on the TV streaming service providers by announcing its own service, aptly named YouTube TV. Of course the news dropped mere days after we published my piece comparing the best streaming options out there.
Feeling slighted, I thought it’d be best for me to be the one to tell you all about it.
Jokes aside, YouTube TV is looking to make a name for itself in the TV streaming world currently dominated by services like Netflix, Sling TV, DirecTV Now, Playstation Vue, Amazon and Hulu, and it’s taking some big steps to make sure its service doesn’t fall by the wayside.
What is YouTube TV?
It has been rumored for some time now that Google was going to try and offer some kind of on-demand live streaming service to compete in the market, and YouTube TV is the result of those efforts. Basically, YouTube TV is a monthly subscription-based, contract-free streaming service that will allow users to stream live and On-Demand television programming direct to their smart TV or other capable devices. Subscribers will be able to cancel at any time, and among the many perks of the deal is unlimited DVR space and access to YouTube Red content.
But more on its features in a bit. The real question is: Is YouTube TV going for the throat?
Brass Tacks—It’ll Cost Ya 35 Bucks a Month
Thirty-five bucks a month might sound a bit steep for people who are used to paying $9.99/mo. for Netflix or $11.99/mo. for Hulu’s premium service, but it’s actually pretty comparable to YouTube TV’s direct competition.
From what I can tell, there won’t be any kind of tiered packages like you’ll find with most other streaming services. YouTube TV will cost people $35/mo., won’t come with any kind of contracts, and will offer subscribers access to over 40 channels, including Fox, FX, FXX, FXM, ABC, NBC, the CW,CBS, ESPN, ESPNU, ESPN2, ESPN3, Syfy, Chiller, Nat Geo Wild, FS1, FS2, Big Ten, Free Form, E! and a few others. It will not have access to channels like Viacom, Discovery, A&E, AMC, TBS, TNT or CNN, which I can definitely see being problematic for some.
DirectTV Now offers an introductory package of $35/mo. and includes 60 channels, including FOX News, Comedy Central, MSNBC, CNN, and several others, but that price jumps to $60/mo. after the introductory period. Sling TV offers 40 channels for $25/mo. and a 50-channel package for $40 that includes BET, Food Network, History Channel, BBC America, VICELAND and CNN. PSVue’s bare bones plan is $39.99/mo. and includes 45 channels, including most of what YouTube TV has to offer.
As far as channel selection goes, they’re all about even, give or take a few selections. How valuable YouTube TV is to you really all depends on the kind of channel selection you’re looking for.
The Real Perks
Ok, so it’s no secret that YouTube TV’s channel offerings are going to be average and in line with its price point. For the streaming giant, in a market as competitive and explosive as this, it simply won’t do. There are already quite a few options out there, and if they want to stand out, they have to do something worthy of recognition. And that, friends, is where YouTube TV becomes worth its salt.
You’ll get 40 channels for $35/mo., which in and of itself isn’t bad. But along with that $35 bucks, you’re getting a service that will allow unlimited cloud-based DVR scheduling (which means you’ll never miss another TV show or movie again), and access from six separate accounts.
Perhaps the coolest detail is that each of those accounts will have their own separate and unlimited DVR action. The PSVue offers unlimited DVR space for 30 days, and Sling TV offers 100 hours of cloud-based DVR storage for no extra charge. However, those are the only services that come even remotely close to what YouTube TV is going to do, and even then, they don’t come close at all.
Subscribers will also have access to YouTube Red’s 28 original series, none of which have really made a major impact yet. Nevertheless, it’s stuff that the competition can’t offer.
I’m also a fan of YouTube TV’s viewing platform. It’s sleek, simple, and easy to navigate, but robust in that it offers in-depth features like a search function that’ll even search by themes (like “teen drama” and “time travel”).
What’s the Word, Bird?
All in all, I think YouTube TV is going to be a viable option for people already looking into things like Sling TV and PSVue. I think that it could offer a better array of channels (I mean, it’s owned by Google, for Christ’s sake), but I also think it’s definitely trying to make up for that by offering some pretty cool features that definitely make it stand out.
I think the unlimited cloud-based DVR is awesome, and I think most people would appreciate the idea that you can have six accounts streaming from it at the same time—all with their own DVR.
YouTube TV is now available.
Unsure which streaming service is best for you? We compare Netflix, Amazon, Hulu and more to help you decide.
