text: Fuzzing nowadays has been commonly modeled as an optimization problem, e.g., maximizing code coverage under a given time budget via typical search-based solutions such as evolutionary algorithms. However, such solutions are widely argued to cause inefficient computing resource usage, i.e., inefficient mutations. To address this issue, two neural program-smoothing-based fuzzers, Neuzz and MTFuzz, have been recently proposed to approximate program branching behaviors via neural network models, which input byte sequences of a seed and output vectors representing program branching behaviors. Moreover, assuming that mutating the bytes with larger gradients can better explore branching behaviors, they develop strategies to mutate such bytes for generating new seeds as test cases. Meanwhile, although they have been shown to be effective in the original papers, they were only evaluated upon a limited dataset. In addition, it is still unclear how their key technical components and whether other factors can impact fuzzing performance. To further investigate neural program-smoothing-based fuzzing, we first construct a large-scale benchmark suite with a total of 28 popular open-source projects. Then, we extensively evaluate Neuzz and MTFuzz on such benchmarks. The evaluation results suggest that their edge coverage performance can be unstable. Moreover, neither neural network models nor mutation strategies can be consistently effective, and the power of their gradient-guidance mechanisms have been compromised. Inspired by such findings, we propose a simplistic technique, PreFuzz, which improves neural program-smoothing-based fuzzers with a resource-efficient edge selection mechanism to enhance their gradient guidance and a probabilistic byte selection mechanism to further boost mutation effectiveness. Our evaluation results indicate that PreFuzz can significantly increase the edge coverage of Neuzz/MTFuzz, and also reveal multiple practical guidelines to advance future research on neural program-smoothing-based fuzzing.

Frank Ocean and Katy Perry are officially an item, at least that’s one rumor floating around the Internet Monday. The pair was photographed together over the weekend arriving at West Hollywood celebrity staple, Chateau Marmont.
Perry and her on-again, off-again boyfriend John Mayer called it quits earlier this month, which we’re sure fueled the rumors, but something bloggers neglected to note is that Mayer and Ocean are boys. The two have collaborated on music in the past: John played guitar on Ocean’s “White”, a track featured on the singer’s Channel Orange album. Ocean returned the favor by lending his vocals to “Wildfire” on Mayer’s last album, Paradise Valley.
While we don’t think Ocean and Perry are dating (Ocean currently has a boyfriend), perhaps they’re planning a future collaboration or plotting on a way to get Mayer and Perry back together again. What do you think?

Loss for Scottish co-op
SCOTLANDS biggest farm requisites co-op made a pre-tax loss of £1.1m in the year to June 30, compared with a profit of more than £500,000 the year before.
The annual report and accounts, issued to the 9000 members of Aberdeen-based North Eastern Farmers, records a 6% rise in turnover to almost £60m, but shows operating profit down from nearly £1m to just £22,000.
In his chairmans statement, John Mackie reports that interest and finance charges of £590,000 and "exceptional items" of £564,000 turned the small operating profit into a loss of £1.1m, reduced to £683,000 by tax credits.
A main area of difficulty had been oat trading and processing. The late harvest in 1993 led the company to buy high-priced supplies through the trade – only to end up with a splendid harvest for local contract growers.
"Finance and storage costs resulted in an escalation of raw material prices, business was lost, and sales growth curtailed," says Mr Mackie. "To add to the stock problem, the 1994 harvest produced a record crop from our contract grown acreage. Grampian Oat Products has suffered from very high raw material prices and an inevitable and substantial trading loss was incurred."
Mr Mackie is bullish about the future and claims substantial new orders, with stock supply and prices now at competitive levels. He also reports that in the core business of supplying farm requisites, pressure on margins intensified and there was an urgent need to reduce overhead costs.
Staff numbers reduced
That had been done by reducing staff numbers and closing centres at Wick, Turriff and Aberdeen, saving about £500,000 a year.
The mild winter and hot summer had not helped the society, reducing sales of porridge oats, farm feeds, and domestic fuel.
The co-op had also written off its worst ever bad debt of £100,000 incurred by a local turkey operation which went into liquidation last January.
Despite the loss-making year, directors have recommended a dividend of 7% (6% last year) but there will be no bonus on trading (1% last time).

As anyone who has lived in Denver for even a short time can attest, summers in the Mile High City can get hot. With temperatures regularly exceeding 90 degrees Fahrenheit, it’s no surprise that many Denver residents rely on air conditioning to keep their homes comfortable during the hottest months of the year. Having a reliable air conditioning system in your home not only keeps you comfortable but can also help you stay healthy and safe during the hottest months of the year. But all air conditioning systems aren’t created equal. Proper sizing is essential for efficient cooling, and an improperly sized system can lead to a host of problems. Professional AC services in Denver can help choose the right AC size for your home. Here we’ll explore why proper sizing is important and how to determine the right size air conditioner for your home
Understanding the impact of AC sizing on cooling efficiency
When it comes to air conditioning, size matters. An air conditioner that is too small for your home will struggle to keep up with demand, leading to inefficient cooling and higher energy bills. On the other hand, an AC unit that is too large will cycle on and off frequently, which can result in temperature swings, increased wear and tear on the unit, and higher energy bills. It is important to learn about different ac sizes and their installation process from ac service providers in Denver before buying an AC.
Factors affecting AC sizing
Several factors can affect the proper sizing of an air conditioning unit in a home such as:
How to determine the right AC size for your home
When it comes to determining the proper size of your air conditioning unit, it’s essential to have a professional HVAC contractor in Denver like Everest Mechanical perform a load calculation. This calculation takes into account all of the factors that can affect AC sizing in your home, including those we discussed earlier, such as climate, home size, insulation, and more.
The load calculation will determine the cooling load of your home, which is the amount of cooling power required to keep your home at a comfortable temperature on the hottest days of the year. Based on this calculation, your HVAC contractor can recommend the proper size of the AC unit for your home.
It’s important to note that choosing a larger AC unit than you need will not necessarily provide better cooling or greater comfort. In fact, an oversized AC unit can lead to several problems, including:
Tips for improving AC efficiency beyond proper sizing
While proper sizing is essential for efficient air conditioning, there are other steps you can take to improve your system’s efficiency. One of the easiest is to keep your air filters clean and replace them regularly. Dirty filters can restrict airflow and reduce efficiency, leading to higher energy bills. You should also schedule regular maintenance for your air conditioning system by professional Denver ac services to ensure that it is running at peak efficiency.
Proper AC sizing is essential for efficient cooling. By working with a professional HVAC contractor to determine the right size air conditioner for your home, you can ensure that your system runs efficiently, keeps you comfortable, and saves you money on energy bills. Don’t overlook this important aspect of home cooling – the right size air conditioner is a key ingredient in a comfortable and efficient home. If you are confused about which size AC will be best for your home, then contact Everest Mechanical now.

- Detoxifies and cleanses – Removes toxins from skin without irritation
- Controls Oil Production – absorbs excess oil and sebum from skin, and balances oil production keeping facial skin balanced and clear.
- Stimulating – the combination of clays, beetroot, papaya and Vitamin B in the mask stimulate the skin to flow better, and offer a fresh and clean facial complexion.
- Soothes dark circles and puffy eyes – the antioxidants in beetroot make it an excellent source to soothe inflamed skin, while revitalizing skin.
To preserve the detoxifying power of beetroot, it comes in powder form. The inherent purifying properties of the beetroot can last several years in this preserved form.
Add water to the beet root powder to activate the mask. Use one teaspoon of the beetroot mask with one teaspoon of water. Mix thoroughly. Apply the mask to face, and allow to remain on face for 8-15 minutes until mask is dry. Rinse.
Kaolin Clay, Bentonite Clay, Beet Powder, Papaya Juice, Pro-Vitamin B5, Vitamin B3.
Beetroot powder is full of antioxidants and phytonutrients. One of the most powerful phytonutrients is called batalain, which is responsible for reducing skin cell damage, removing toxins, eliminating free radicals and reducing skin inflammation. The powerful antioxidants in beetroot detoxify the skin, leaving behind a fresh, cleansed complexion of glowing skin.
Provitamin B5 & Vitamin B3
The B vitamins are most known for keeping the body healthy, functioning and flowing. For the purposes of skin care, they stimulate the skin cells to improve circulation, improve blood flow, and keep skin looking fresh and new.
Most known for its ability to absorb toxins from the skin, bentonite clay acts like a super sponge when applied. It is excellent at attracting molecules and toxins out of your face and into the clay. It is a highly porous substance, that leads to skin clearing, toxin cleansing and a clean, fresher appearance.
Composed mostly of gentle silica, kaolin clay is excellent for sensitive skin due to its ability to soothe easily irritated skin, and skin prone to breakouts and rashes. It removes dead skin cells, while rejuvenating skin. The clay reduces the production of oil and allows the skin to remain clean and dry. Red kaolin clay is most known for its ability to be the most absorbent of all the kaolin clays.
Papaya juice nourishes the skin because it is rich in Vitamin A and the papain enzyme, which is rich in alpha-hydroxy acid that serves as a powerful exfoliator to remove dead skin cells. It reveals a fresh brighter version of skin that evens skin tone and pigmentation.

Yes, the Brood X cicadas are coming to New Jersey. We’ve been telling you that for weeks.
But some experts say the arrival of these noisy red-eyed insects may have been slowed down a bit by the cool temperatures we’ve had during the past week or so.
Other experts, like Rutgers University entomologist George Hamilton, has been saying all along that the cicadas won’t be emerging in big numbers here in the Garden State until late May — another week or two from now — and he’s sticking with that prediction.
“I think we are right on schedule,” Hamilton said in an email on Thursday.
A key factor in the timing is related to soil temperatures, which need to consistently reach 64 degrees before big swarms of cicadas crawl out of the ground, said Anne L. Nielsen, an associate professor and specialist in fruit entomology at Rutgers.
“The soil temperature doesn’t change as fast as our ambient temperature, but if we start getting a lot of warmer days,” the soil will inch its way closer to 64 degrees, Nielsen said. “And we will start seeing them.... We are getting there.”
In late April and early May, New Jersey had a brief taste of summer, with the air temperature soaring into the 80s in many regions of the state. But after that, most days have been cooler than normal for this time of year, according to data from the National Weather Service.
Temperatures returned to near-normal on Thursday, rising into the low 70s in many locations. More of the same is expected through the weekend, and forecasters say we could make a run for 80 degrees by the end of next week. That should help boost the soil temperatures — and bring those Brood X cicadas one step closer to crawling out of the ground in huge droves.
The key soil depth that cicada experts focus on is at 20 centimeters, or about 8 inches below the ground. During the past few days, temperature readings at that depth during the afternoon have been hovering around 56 degrees in North Jersey, 54 to 59 degrees in Central Jersey, 56 in southwestern New Jersey, and 64 to 66 degrees in Atlantic and Cape May counties, according to data from the Rutgers NJ Weather Network.
While the readings in Atlantic and Cape May are at the ideal level needed for cicadas to emerge, the soil temperatures in recent days have not been consistently that warm. And the Brood X cicadas typically don’t emerge in that region of New Jersey.
They are more common in Burlington, Gloucester, Hunterdon, Mercer, Middlesex, Monmouth, Morris, Salem, Somerset and Warren counties.
If you happen to be fascinated by insects, you may have to travel to one of the towns where previous sightings of the Brood X Cicadas have been documented. (The towns are listed in the link above.)
And you probably have to wait another couple of weeks to see these mysterious bugs flock to the trees in big numbers.

Uncle Sam and Lady Liberty: Faces of a Nation
The evolution of two central icons in the American identity is the focus of Uncle Sam and Lady Liberty: Faces of a Nation, opening Feb. 3, 2001 at the Long Island Museum of American Art, History & Carriages.
Featuring color lithographs, posters, political cartoons, drawings and advertising ephemera, the exhibition explores the historical depictions of the nation's best-known personifications: Uncle Sam and Lady Liberty. Organized by the New -York Historical Society, circulated by Museum Presentation Association, and drawn from the New -York Historical Society's collection, the exhibition continues through May 13, 2001.
In times of war and peace, through prosperity and poverty, the figure of Uncle Sam has been a constant of the American political landscape. Legend has it that "Uncle Sam" was the nickname of Samuel Wilson (1766-1854), head of a meat-packing plant in Troy, New York. Shortly after the War of 1812 began, Wilson and Elbert Anderson, a federal agent, supplied meat for the troops. The shipping crates were marked "E.A. - U.S." A workman quipped that it stood for "Uncle Sam" Wilson. The joke quickly circulated among the troops and stuck. (left: James Flagg, Side by Side- Britannia, n.d., Collection of New -York Historical Society)
Uncle Sam was eventually utilized by both the political left and right for different causes, featured in military recruitment posters, and used to sell everything from Ex-Lax to Liberty Bonds. Today the face and name of Uncle Sam is recognized, both at home and abroad, as the face of America.
His female counterpart has undergone several transformations in identity, clothing, and style. Long before we bad the Statue of Liberty in New York Harbor, the Indian Princess symbolized the New World. Over time the Princess became less "native" and more European. Her skin grew lighter, her features became less "Indian," and her dress was adapted to the mode of the moment.
As America matured, the image of Columbia was used to symbolize America, and she was usually depicted wearing a red-white-and-blue dress with a star studded crown. The French Revolution introduced Liberty as the definitive symbol for the overthrow of oppression, and by the end of the 19th century, Lady Liberty became the undisputed female emblem of the United States - as portrayed bearing the torch of freedom by Auguste Bartholdi in the Statue of Liberty.

Québec and Indiana Launch Great Lakes Shipping Partnership
Canada’s Province of Québec and the U.S. State of Indiana plan to launch a new partnership to intensify their collaboration in Great Lakes/St. Lawrence System shipping and maritime economic development.
Québec and Indiana have identified short-sea shipping as a factor of regional economic development that would benefit from greater regional collaboration. They are launching a joint initiative to study opportunities for enhancing shipping routes between the two jurisdictions.
Short-sea shipping facilitates the delivery of supplies along trade routes that have rail and highway capacity constraints and infrastructure challenges. Currently, short-sea shipping accounts for 20% of shipping traffic in St. Lawrence River ports and its development is one of the key priorities of the Québec Maritime Strategy.
Québec and Indiana plan to work together to increase this bilateral and multilateral collaboration on short-sea shipping, and invite other partners from the Great Lakes–St. Lawrence economic region to join them. Areas of collaboration could include industry workshops, exchange of best practices, applied research based on the needs of the shipping industry, as well as joint studies involving collaboration between industry, government and academic institutions.
“Indiana is a significant economic partner of Québec in the Midwest, especially with respect to maritime transportation,” said Québec Minister of International Relations and Francophonie Christine St-Pierre.
“This partnership with Indiana shows that the new Québec Maritime Strategy already has a strong positive impact in our relations with our largest trading partner, the United States. This bodes well for the future, as Québec’s exports to the Midwest have grown by 30% since 2010.”
Indiana currently handles nearly 30 million tons of cargo per year on short-sea shipping movements across the Great Lakes, predominantly consisting of iron ore for the steel mills located in Northwest Indiana.
“The province of Québec and the state of Indiana are connected by more than just water,” said Indiana Lieutenant Governor Sue Ellspermann.
“We share strong manufacturing sectors, robust multimodal transportation systems, and a heavy reliance on Great Lakes shipping. As two of the leading maritime economies on the Great Lakes/St. Lawrence Seaway, Québec and Indiana represent a large part of the business activity generated by shipping in this region. We hope this maritime partnership will lead to increased opportunities for collaboration between our economies.”
Recent studies have shown that for the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence region, maritime transportation accounts for CAD 34 billion in annual economic returns and more than 225,000 jobs.

Elected officials in Basalt heard results Tuesday from a study done on affordable housing. A Denver-based research group looked over wages, housing costs and job growth and delivered mostly negative findings. Aspen Public Radio’s Marci Krivonen reports.
Suzanne Wheeler-DelPiccolo is principal of Basalt Elementary School. She says finding affordable housing is a constant challenge for her staff of teachers.
"When you hire new people, as a principal, I’ve helped people look for apartments and find places to live because it’s that challenging," she says.
She sees the gap widening between what people can afford and what they earn.
"We’ve seen teachers having to move out of the area to find permanent housing. It’s housing where they can raise their families."
Wheeler-DelPiccolo joined the Basalt Affordable Community Housing committee that advises Town Council. The group initiated a study on affordable housing.
David Schwartz of Denver-based Economic and Planning Systems Incorporated studied a three mile area around downtown. He found most Basalt workers don’t live in town, but would like to. The average sales price for a single family home is about $850,000, which is out of reach for most residents.
Perhaps the most surprising finding is the loss of higher paying jobs. Since the recession, Basalt has gained back jobs in industries like retail, agriculture and accommodations. These low wage positions account for 43 percent of the workforce. Conversely, just 125 salary and higher paying jobs were created between 2001 and 2013. Dan Guimond also worked on the study.
"We know that Whole Foods is here and there are a bunch of retail workers and there’s been a bump there. But, overall we’ve seen a loss in jobs in all of the Valley’s economies, but maybe the loss in higher paying jobs was a little more disproportional than I thought it would be (in Basalt)," he says.
The analysis recommends adding 200 affordable units over the next five years. Family-oriented and entry level housing is most needed. In its community housing pool, Basalt has 55 units. Most are deed restricted, meaning there’s caps on rent and sales prices. Six are Town-owned.
The report also suggests reworking a requirement for developers. 35 percent of residential square footage in development projects must be set aside for affordable housing. The Basalt Affordable Community Housing committee is looking into possible changes.

Meet Milèo, the New Skin-Care Line for Face Oil Fanatics
MILÈO OUD ELIXIRS ARE THE NEXT GENERATION OF FACE OILS
by CELIA ELLENBERG, FEBRUARY 6, 2018
“Matthew Milèo found wellness long before the W word became a pervasive part of today’s culture”
Matthew Milèo found wellness long before the W word became a pervasive part of today’s culture. “I got my first Vitamix in 2002!” the California-born entrepreneur proudly reveals of his commitment to healthy eating, yoga, and meditation, which began nearly two decades ago. But a similarly early fascination with luxury tugged at his Zen inclinations, driving him straight to the Chanel beauty counter, where he worked as a visual merchandiser for 10 years. That’s where he developed what he describes as an “obsession” with skin care. Milèo, who grew up between San Francisco and Denmark, got deep into formula research, using his chemistry degree to dissect ingredient labels and even mix up his own solutions and salves for friends and family members. But his homespun projects took a serious turn in 2015 when his godmother was diagnosed with cancer. “The chemo was really damaging her skin,” says Milèo, who began seeking out natural molecules that could both help soothe her irritation and ward off the disease. That’s when he discovered oud. With anti-inflammatory and powerful calming benefits, this ancient essential oil is at the heart of his new knockout skin-care range.
Fragrance fanatics are already well aware of the lure of oud. With a deep, smoky, woody scent, agarwood resin from the Aquilaria tree—which can take 100 years to fully develop— has roots in the Middle East and Southeast Asia, where it is a wildly popular perfume note. But its skin-care properties are slightly less known. After sourcing the “right” kind of oud (a Thai strain that is harvested in small batches and never diluted or mixed with synthetic additives), Milèo began custom-blending curative oil elixirs, mixing his oud with a combination of organic, wild-crafted, and sustainably sourced botanical essences.
“The goal was to create potent—and above all, pure—distillations”
The goal was to create potent—and above all, pure—distillations for his godmother; but Milèo received an eye-opening education along the way. “First of all, you can’t just mix something together at home, and assume that it will smell good—or work,” he admits, debunking a commonly held belief that has helped drive the sales of bespoke beauty products in boutiques (and on certain Etsy stores). Secondly, and perhaps most importantly, Milèo noticed a big problem in the typical skin-care supply chain: Most brands blindly trust their supplier, “which is a mistake,” he says, noting that upon receiving 10 different argan oil samples on one occasion, he discovered 10 different variations in quality, with 10 different levels of efficacy. “That’s why I started doing GC-MS,” he explains of gas chromatography–mass spectrum analysis, a newly popular, and increasingly important, testing method that can quantify the time an ingredient was harvested and how it was distilled, to confirm that it is free of any refinements, chemicals, pesticides, or synthetic enhancements before it makes its way into your skin-care products.
GC-MS testing isn’t uncomplicated (or cheap), but its ability to ensure that the ingredients Milèo has infused into his four watercolor oud elixirs—the clarifying French violet flower leaf in Labyrinthe Vert, the soothing Moroccan blue tansy flower in Maroc D’Azur, the brightening Indian pink lotus flower in Amber Fort, and the detoxifying Corsican golden immortelle flower in Monte D’Oro—are truly unadulterated, and that they work. “I wanted real soil to bottle,” he insists, detailing an uncompromising commitment to ensuring that each ingredient is transported overnight and stocked in glass, never touching volatile plastics.
“I wanted real soil to bottle”
The ultra-reparative Monte D’Oro remains a favorite with Milèo’s godmother. “She says it ushers in a nice state of relaxation,” he reveals, touting the skin tonic’s delicate natural fragrance, the enjoyment of which is part of the product’s appeal. Milèo recommends cupping your hands over your face after evenly applying the oil and taking five deep breaths to multitask its skin-rejuvenating benefits with a shot of aromatherapy. “You can wear it on your pulse points, too!”

The fine could be made public as early as Friday, Sky News reports.
Compared to fines recently doled out for various UK and US' banks involvement in the forex and Libor scandals the fine is relatively small, but it is a significant amount for the FCA.
Last month it handed Clydesdale Bank a £20.7m fine, which was at that time the largest PPI-related penalty in FCA history.
Lloyds Bank was one of the biggest players in the PPI market. The bank has set aside more than £12bn to deal with compensation claims from customers.
Lloyds and the FCA declined to comment.
Just last week the FCA said it was considering changes to rules around PPI, following a Supreme Court ruling in Plevin v Paragon.
The judge ruled that the fact the lender had failed to disclose how much commission it received from selling the PPI products created a “sufficiently extreme inequality of knowledge and understanding” between the two parties.

OCEAN CITY, Md. - A boat captain said his crew got a huge surprise while fishing in the waters of Maryland's Eastern Shore - a great white shark!
Captain Dustin Lorah said they reeled in the shark about 11 miles off the coast of Ocean City.
Lorah told FOX 5 they estimate the shark was about 7 feet long and weighed about 150 pounds.
Lorah has been fishing in Ocean City for almost three decades and runs the fishing charter that caught the great white shark, which was not their intended catch. They ended up releasing the shark back into the water.

Where are the best pools in Iceland? Where are the best hot tubs? What do Icelandic swimming pools offer?
Iceland is filled with natural geothermal water so it should not be surprising that Icelanders love to go to swimming pools and soak in hot tubs. There are pools in pretty much every village and town in Iceland - and sometimes some of them are even located in the middle of nowhere!
Reykjavík has a number of great pools - but this list focuses on the pools in the countryside and doesn't include any pools in Reykjavík. Here you can find a list of the best swimming pools in Reykjavík.
Most of the swimming pools are heated outdoor pools and they most of the time have at least one hot tub nearby as well. The biggest pools have both an indoor and an outdoor pool, various hot tubs and saunas to choose from. All this for an entry fee of around 900 ISK or less! You can even find swimming pools and/or hot tubs with free entry.
You will also find many natural hot springs to bathe in - or geothermal spas such as the Blue Lagoon, Fontana geothermal baths, Mývatn Nature Baths and the Secret Lagoon. What follows is a list of some of my favourite pools and hot tubs in Iceland.
6. Westman Islands Swimming Pool
This swimming pool in the Westman Islands is great to take kids to - or just go with your friends if you want to try out different slides, a climbing wall or enjoy the various massage functions of one of the jacuzzis, such as standing underneath a 'waterfall'. If you still want more exercise, you can work out at the gym there.
The area has an inside pool and 3 hot tubs, a couple of water slides, and a sunbathing pool outside, adjacent to a very popular play pool. The water of the inside pool has 0,9% salt in it, the same as the human body, making it particularly healthy, light and easy to swim in.
5. Akureyri Swimming Pool
This is a very fun swimming pool with 2 great water slides, located in the town of Akureyri, the capital of the North. The pool is ideal for bringing children along that can play in the slides whilst the grown-ups sit by in a hot jacuzzi. There are in fact two outside pools and a third indoor one, an additional splashpool, a steam bath, and sauna. Water temperatures range from 27° to 42°C in the warmest tub.
The area also features a family play area that's open in the summertime. This includes golf, peddle cars and a playground. In short, the area has something for all.
This is a very beautiful swimming pool, located in Selárdalur valley, a short drive outside of Vopnafjörður in the North-East of Iceland. The pool is situated next to a river and is well sheltered from wind. A large wooden terrace makes it excellent for sunbathing. It is without electricity and is not guarded in winter - so at that time of year people bring candles to light it up. The swimming pool gets its water from a nearby hot stream and its temperature is around 30-33°C year round. There are two hot tubs next to the pool, 38°-40°C and 40°-42°C.
3. Hveragerdi - Laugarskard Swimming Pool
(Photo credit Hveragerdi)
This swimming pool is located in the town of Hveragerdi, - around 45 minutes drive from Reykjavik. The pool was once one of the biggest in Iceland and is still among the most popular ones. It is 50 meters long and 12 meters wide and has been used as a backdrop for several music videos, such as the one at the start of this article.
The water constantly runs through it and is heated through natural steam coming from the ground. The architecture of this pool, originally built in in the 1940s is also interesting. The pool is moderately designed and in addition features a warm, shallow sitting pool and a jacuzzi, as well as a natural steambath, a passage parlour and spa.
2. Drangsnes Hot Tubs
My absolute favourite hot tubs in the country can be found in Drangsnes in the Westfjords. Three hot tubs are located by the main road of the town, right by the seaside. There is no entry fee to the hot tubs and they are open 24/7. Across the road is a small changing room, one for males, one for females, including a bathroom - a novelty that was only made in 2011. Before that you had to change your clothes no matter the weather outside.
It is popular to clamber over the rocks into the sea just beside the hot tubs (beware: the rocks are slippery and the sea is FREEZING COLD) but then you can warm right up again in the hot tubs. Also, if you've already made it to Drangsnes, you might as well keep on driving for a couple of more hours until you hit Krossnes, close to Nordurfjordur and Trekyllisvik. The swimming pool in Krossnes is right by the seaside, with a breathtaking view like the one in Hofsos - just slightly more out of the way.
1. Hofsós Swimming Pool
(Image credit: Mike Kelley)
Arguably the most beautiful swimming pool in the country - and with the best view! - the Hofsos pool is located on a hillside by the fjord of Skagafjordur. It gives a great view over the fjord and its islands, notably Drangey, Malmey, as well as the Thordarhofdi peninsula and the mountains on the other side of the fjord, all adding up to a stunning scenery.
Come rain or shine, the vista from the pool is a combination of marvellous different shades of blue; the clear blue colour of the swimming pool itself, the green blue sea, the dark blue of the islands and mountains in the distance, and finally the blueness of the sky on a clear day. The size of the pool is 25x10.5 m and you‘ll have a hot tub to soak in, as well as a steambath and an infrared sauna.
The architecture of both the pool and the surrounding facilities is exemplary, attracting people from all over.

SCALES MOUND — The Scales Mound FFA recently announced several updates in its membership activities.
On Nov. 8 and 9, four members attended the first Build Conference in Decatur. Connor Fosler, Jamie Frey, Eve Nottrott and Cameron Ziarko joined more than 150 other members from Illinois to in developing personal and leadership skills, group sessions and hearing from two keynote speakers who discussed climbing the tallest mountains on each continent and the decision-making involved in being a fire department captain.
On Nov. 14, FFA collected 721 pounds of food from the Scales Mound, Apple Canyon Lake and Galena Territory communities. Students organized themselves into teams and went door-to-door asking for donations to help folks in need.

On Dec. 3, seniors Nic Davis and Sam Townsend competed in the Job Interview Leadership Development Event at Highland Community College in Freeport. In early November, each selected an advertised job to apply for, then created and submitted a resume and cover letter for that identified position. At the contest, Davis and Townsend completed a 10-minute interview for the job position, completed a job application and composed a follow-up letter. Davis placed first, and Townsend placed second. Davis will advance to the district competition April 3.
The next chapter activity will be a poultry Career Development Event on Jan. 7.

ROUGH & REFINED – MITSUBISHI PAJERO
THE RECENT LAUNCH OF TWO ALL-NEW MITSUBISHI PAJERO SPORT VERSIONS AT THE WESBANK SA MOTORING EXPERIENCE AT KYALAMI, MIDRAND, ATTRACTED CONSIDERABLE INTEREST. THIS IS NOT ONLY BECAUSE OF THE PRESENCE OF BRAND AMBASSADOR VICTOR MATFIELD, BUT ALSO BECAUSE MITSUBISHI HAS MANAGED TO BRING TO MARKET A VEHICLE THAT BUILDS ON ITS LEGENDARY STATUS AS THE CHAMPION OF THE DAKAR – THE TOUGHEST ENDURANCE OFFROAD RACE ON THE PLANET – WITH NO FEWER THAN 12 VICTORIES. SEVEN OF THESE WERE IN CONSECUTIVE EVENTS.
Keeping it simple with a 4x2 and a 4x4 model, the new Pajero Sport excels in a number of areas. The stunning new 2.4 turbodiesel is mated to an eight-speed automatic gearbox, thereby presenting a “See if you can do better” challenge to the likes of the Toyota Fortuner and Ford’s Everest.
ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
A high-output 133 kW turbodiesel four-cylinder does duty in both models, and produces 430 Nm of torque to make it a virtually perfect vehicle for towing horseboxes, caravans and heavy trailers (750 kg unbraked).
In addition, the eight-speed gearbox is notewor thy for smooth acceleration at low revs and fairly decent fuel economy which, when driven sensibly, dips under the 8 l/100 km mark, and results in an 800 km range from its generously sized 68 l tank.
The 4x4 version also enjoys the Super Select 4-II 4WD system, providing superb traction in sand and mud, as well as on snow. This is activated by an idiot-proof dial on the console which enables the driver to choose the perfect option – right down to 4WD low with central diff locked for extreme off-road conditions.
SAFETY & LUXURY
Six airbags, active stability and traction control, hill descent control (on the 4x4 version), and a brake system with ABS, EBD and BAS (brake assist) join forces with rear park distance control, while central door locking (automatic at 15 km/h), and seven full-leather seats all point to a vehicle that is much more than a “rough ’n ready” off-roader.
An electrically adjustable driver’s seat, Bluetooth with handsfree voice control, and full automatic dual air-conditioning with rear passenger controls, as well as front-rear and boot power sockets enable the 2017 Pajero Sport to face its rivals on an even footing.
The previous model was rather narrow and upright to my taste, and would not have won any design awards.
The new models, on the other hand, while still large and imposing (as a 4x4 should be), boast a more rounded front and rear, while the very latest LED driving lights add a touch
of class. All the other features one would expect of an upmarket vehicle – such as fully adjustable steering (height and reach), paddle shifts (for overriding the automatic gearbox when required), rear view camera, and 18” alloy wheels (twotone on the 4x4 model), as well as rain-sensing wipers – show that Mitsubishi are serious about making considerable marketing inroads in this segment.
Competitively priced at R569,995 for the 4x2 and R599,995 for the 4x4, Mitsubishi enjoys a price advantage of between R25,000 and R40,000 when compared with similarly specified Fortuners and Everests – explaining why the new Pajero Sport outsold its rivals in Australia while taking numerous accolades along the way, such as a full Austrian NCAP five-star rating. Included in the price is a three-year/100,000 km warranty and a five-year/90,000 km service plan.
With 100 years of history behind them, Mitsubishi at last seems set to return to its former glory as a manufacturer of vehicles that seldom, if ever, break down. The brand has been experiencing tough times of late, and the Pajero Sport could be the model that will once again make Mitsubishi a force to be reckoned with.

I have some time to work on getting some of Miloslav’s videos out this week, so expect to see these coming very soon. Lyric Opera of Chicago bassist and Northeastern Illinois University bass instructor Greg Sarchet has been instrumental in bringing this great artist to Chicago, and I was able to see him perform in late 2005 here in town. Amazing playing from an amazing individual. Expect to hear from him very soon on the blog and the podcast.

|City and County of Denver Celebrates Peak Performers at Annual 5281 Awards
DENVER – Mayor Michael B. Hancock and the Office of Human Resources today hosted the annual 5281 Awards Luncheon. The luncheon honors individual city employees and teams who went above and beyond, taking the extra step to help deliver the Mayor’s vision of a world class city where everyone matters.
On Day One of his administration, Mayor Hancock launched Peak Performance, a new strategic initiative to improve customer service and make city government more efficient and effective. Much of the work of this year’s honorees speaks to the support and success of the initiative to change how local government operates - and they are being recognized for their efforts.
“When my administration first took office, we asked our employees how we could provide better service and get the most value from every dollar spent,” Mayor Hancock said. “The city employees honored here today have exemplified that effort by finding innovative ways to make our city a better place. It’s simply smart business.”
The luncheon was held at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts Seawell Grand Ballroom. The theme of this year’s luncheon is “Inclusivity – creating a place where everyone has a voice and can contribute to the success of this great City.”
In addition to Mayor Hancock, the luncheon featured Office of Human Resources Executive Director Nita Mosby Henry, Councilwoman At-Large Robin Kniech and emerging young leader Dwane Matthews.
“The 5281 Awards Luncheon is a celebration of those employees who shared their ideas, knowledge and perspectives to positively contribute to the City’s vision, and to impact the communities we serve,” explained Henry. “Inclusion intentionally opens the door to allow for those diverse viewpoints to be cultivated.”
Winners are chosen based on the following criteria:
1. They have helped the City reach one or more of the City’s five goals:
- To spur new economic opportunities
- To increase opportunities for Denver’s Kids
- To foster a strong relationship between our residents and Denver’s safety departments and strengthen the safety net to protect our most vulnerable residents
- To transform city government to provide the highest quality services at the lowest possible costs
- To re-energize the city’s commitment to environmental, economic and social sustainability to make Denver the most livable city in America
2. They have exemplified the City’s STARS values:
- Service to Customers
- Respect for self and others
3. Their actions promote Greenprint Denver’s Action Agenda to:
- Improve resource efficiency (fuel/energy, materials, water and natural resources)
- Advance triple bottom line actions (economic, social and environmental) of City activities
- Reduce adverse environmental impacts to air, land and water through:
- Natural resource savings or enhancements
- Energy or fuel efficiencies
- Community improvements
- Greenhouse gas reductions

text: Before starting over for the 10th time on Sunday the big book I wanted to look at this famous chapter which is Dr. Paul’s story. I found this story very moving when I first read it years ago. It was the third edition. They changed the pages and title in the fourth edition because so many were quoting page 449 as gospel. I want to look at how I see this chapter today. Powerful spiritual message.


Research group: Faculty of Engineering Technology/Engineering fluid dynamics
People involved: Arne van Garrel
Research within this group focuses on the following fields:
1. Rotating flow machines
The flow in centrifugal pumps and around windturbine blades is studied experimentally and numerically, with the objective of developing methods for predicting the performance of these machines (such as head, efficiency, cavitation characteristics for pumps and generated power for turbines), and thus developing tools for improving the design of such machines. A rotating test-rig has been developed for experimental studies of the flows in impeller channels.
In Computational Aero-acoustics finite-element methods are developed for computing sound propagation in fluids. The capabilities of these methods are analysed mathematically. Within the field of Experimental Aero-acoustics we study the generation of sound by objects. Furthermore, acoustics in two-phase flows are studied theoretically.
3. Fluid-structure interaction and aero-elasticity
Research on fluid-structure focuses on flowinduced vibrations of compressor valves and on the unsteady motion of bluff bodies, in particular of gas bubbles and solid spheres, induced by vortex shedding. Both numerical and experimental investigations are conducted.

Anit-grazing bill: A cow may cost N2m, says Miyetti Allah
Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association has warned that a cow could cost N2 million if the anti-grazing bill is passed into law in Lagos State.
The Zonal Secretary of Myetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association in the South West, Meikudi Usman, said this during a one-day public hearing organised by the Lagos State House of Assembly.
Usman said rearing cows openly is cheaper than keeping them in one place (Ranching).
He urged the Lagos State government to assist the cow breeders.
He also pleaded with Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu administration to subsidise the cost of raising the cattle in one location.
“If cattle are bred in one place, the price could go up to about N2 million each.
“A Fulani man moves from one place to another to ply his trade, but we have some bad eggs that are causing trouble.”
“The government should allow us to talk to our people that they don’t want our cows to destroy people’s farmland.
“We agreed with some local chiefs in other states that anyone who wants to rear cows in a location should register and should indicate when he is leaving.
“We have met with stakeholders in Ekiti, Ondo and even Oyo states and we reached agreements with them,” he said.
Alhaji Alabi Bamidele Kazeem, the Chairman of Lagos State Butchers Association of Lagos State, also argued that “rearing animals in one location could be expensive”.
He described the bill as “all-embracing and would ensure a symbiotic relationship between cattle rearers and farmers”.

Giant panda Yun Zi prepares to leave San Diego Zoo for China
Zoo's pandas on loan from the Chinese government
A giant panda born at the San Diego Zoo is being sent to China.
The zoo says Yun Zi was crated up and driven to Los Angeles on Thursday in preparation for the flight. His keeper and a veterinarian will accompany him.
The zoo's pandas are on loan from the Chinese government, which decides where zoo-born offspring go after they turn three. Yun Zi turned four in August.
The zoo prepared Yun Zi for the trip by making the special bread the panda will eat in China instead of the kibble used in San Diego. The animal has also been fattened up to deal with the cooler temperatures of the mountains where it'll be living in China.
China is trying to breed and preserve the pandas. Only about 1,600 are believed to remain in the wild.

It is not easy to learn the key question is: futures, its difficulty may not be less than the difficulty of the transaction, this kind of difficult to make a lot of people were forced to study only a period of time, that then is in a state of flow for a long time, but it is difficult to further more in-depth study. The market has its origins in ancient times when people used the term of place to trade in fixed time or place. In the present, the market has two meanings, one is the trading place, such as traditional market, stock market, futures market, etc., another meaning is the general term of trading activity. The word "market" refers not only to a trading venue but also to all transactions.

Every month in Scrapbook Trends Magazine, our Editor-in-Chief Pam Baird selects one designer who demonstrates an award-winning style. In our August 2011 issue, she selected Kazan Clark. Kazan has a detail oriented style with an eye for balance. I took the opportunity to ask her some additional questions so that we could highlight her and her work here on the blog.
Name: Kazan Clark (Pronounced “kuz-un”)
Tell us a little about yourself . . .
I first tried my hand at scrapbooking when my husband and I were married and moved to American from South Africa.
How long have you been making layouts and how did you get your start?
The bug had not quite bitten until I had my first daughter. Then it became a passionate hobby–almost overnight. She turned 7 in July so a little more than seven years and counting.
What are your favorite/essential tools?
I am partial to my Spellbinders die templates and the Grand Calibur die cutting machine. Spellbinders makes Grand die templates which are perfect for scrapbook pages. Cutting and embossing larger shapes with the Grand Calibur machine is super easy too. Other tools that I reach for daily: my Purple Cows paper cutter, Cutter Bees scissors, my Canon printer and a regular inch/centimeter ruler (I love hand stitching on my projects and use a ruler to punch out perfectly spaced holes on my scrapbook pages).
Where do you find inspiration?
Lately Pinterest has been a great source of inspiration to me. I can spend a lot of time browsing categories marveling at the wealth of creativity in the design, fashion and food industries. I am also a magazine-holic. At night I love to read a few pages from a stack of magazines next to my bed. I have pen and paper ready to jot down ideas before I go to sleep
Do you have any craft organization tips?
My friends may laugh because I can be very disorganized however I do like to keep a few things in order to make life a little easier when creating.
Can you share a tip with our readers?
Look at something you love – a flower, picture, design and ask yourself how can you recreate it using the supplies you have. Sometimes creating with the things you have in your home, in a new and innovative way, is just as fun and exciting as owning the latest and greatest product.
We asked Kazan to share a recent layout with us:
We’d like to thank Kazan for giving us a little peek into her designing world! We’re always on the lookout for the next “Award Winning Designer.” Submit your work for a chance to win this prestigious title. You can find our latest calls here!


A recent joint report by the Law Commissions in Britain noted that existing electoral law comprise something like 17 statutes, with 30 different sets of regulations, making it increasingly difficult to access, apply and update.
At the launch of the report, Public Law Commissioner for England & Wales, Nicholas Paines QC, said:
Our reforms will simplify, modernise and rationalise the law. This will make it easier to amend legislation so elections are able to overcome future challenges, and help to maintain confidence in the electoral system.
Proposals made at the culmination of a six-year research and consultation programme include:
- Requiring social media ads of a political bent to state who is footing their bill – bringing them into line with traditional printed election material
- Rationalising the legislation into a single, consistent legislative framework
- Simplifying the paperwork for nominations
- Updated mechanisms for challenges to elections with costs controls
- Simplifying existing election offences
The Northern Ireland Law Commission, which hasn’t functioned since 2015, was unable to participate in the final stages of the project.
It is understood that the Cabinet Office is to publish its interim response ‘in due course’.

Remember the game by Playdead that was released last year called Inside? The game was released on both the Ps4 and Xbox One last year but it looks like the developer is ready to take it one step further.
According to Playdead, their popular game Inside will be making its way to the new Nintendo Switch console. This is not only great news for the Nintendo Switch users but also the fans of the game as this means that the game will now be a portable game thanks to the Switch.
The developer also added that they will be releasing the game for iOS as well. The game did win a few awards when it was released last year. While they did announce the game for this new platform, they did not reveal when the game will be arriving.
Most people believe that we will see the game during the holiday season this year so let’s keep our fingers crossed.

Police say a man released from jail two weeks ago for stealing cars stole another car early this morning, and investigators say this time his crime may cost him his life.
Firefighters also put their own lives on the line to get the man out of the wreck. What used to be a gold Q-35 Infinity turned into a bunch of twisted metal after the early-morning crash on Harmon Street.
Firefighters who responded say the car hit a telephone pole with so much force it split the car in two and the driver, Scott David Trussell, was trapped inside.
Rescue crews went to work to get Trussell out. "We basically removed the car from around the patient," said Capt. Ira Harper of Savannah FD.
Crews had to be careful they didn't make his injuries any worse, and they were concerned about their own safety.
"You have high voltage lines over your head and the utility pole had snapped in two different pieces and it was basically balancing on the car," said Capt. Harper.
After 30 minutes of cutting and moving metal, they got Trussell out. Firefighters say the crash severed his leg and he had many other serious injuries. He's in critical condition and police still don't know if he's going to make it.
Police are still trying to figure out what caused Trussell to crash. What they do know is the car he was driving was stolen, and police say he has a long history of stealing cars.

So our government is sending money to India to put towards the poor and needy. Meanwhile the Indian government is trying to ensure that it's whole population has access to the internet through cheap devices. Does anyone wonder if priorities have got a bit cocked up?
Look, if the Indian government doesn't want to help it's needy, then it's none of our business. If it was then there wouldn't be any exceptions and we would be helping the poor and needy all over the world, including the UK. The fact that we aren't shows that putting money into India is only a method by which British civil servents get to keep their jobs.
