The Ministry of Cultural Affairs is responsible for holding events within the
city or commune, and generally keeping the morale of the citizens high.
Those holding this office are encouraged to come up with innovative, fun
events for citizens. If they are successful, we may support them with
custom code.

Once every other year, the Minister of Cultural Affairs may submit one
recorded stage production to the Vesteran World Stage (located on Avechna's
Peak). That play will then generate culture points for the next 2 years, and
the highest rated play in the Basin will receive a bonus. The Minister must
be at the stage located in their respective bard's guild to submit a play.
Productions must be submitted during the first half of the year.

NOTE: During the year of submission, the Minister may change his or her mind
and resubmit different plays.

Aside from unsupported events and theater submissions, this Ministry is
responsible for any Arenas that the city or commune owns.

The commands associated with the Ministry of Cultural Affairs with regard to
arenas are as follows.

Note that these commands will only work on an Arena owned by your city
or commune.

ARENA SHOW <arena>
   - Lets you see information about an Arena. For instance: ARENA SHOW CELEST
     would show New Celest's Arena, assuming it had one.
   - NOW includes a list of those ALLOWED, even before the INIT has occurred.
   - See the end of this help file for an example SHOW.

ARENA SET <arena> FULLNAME <name of Arena>
   - This lets you rename your Arena's full name. This does not affect the name
     that is used for these commands, but the long name, e.g. The
     Klangratch Tournies.

ARENA SET <arena> FEE <fee> [optional: PER LEVEL]
   - With this, you set the fee that your Arena will charge people. If you do
     not include the words 'per level' at the end, the fee you set will be a
     flat fee that will apply equally to everybody. If you include 'per level'
     then the fee you have will be multiplied by the player's level. You will
     end up netting 1/3 of the total fees the players pay, as the winner gets
     2/3 of the fees paid, at least in the case of Duels.

ARENA SETUP <arena> ALLOW <organization / player>
   - By default, your Arena will be able to be used by anyone in the case of
     the various events. Doing this will limit the next event to whichever
     organizations (cities, orders, clans, guilds) you specify. You may also
     specify individuals. You can allow as many organizations and individuals
     as you like.
   - In order to select an Order, use the name of the God.

ARENA SETUP <arena> DISALLOW <organization / player>
   - If you've already set someone or some organization as allowed, this will
     reverse it.

ARENA SETUP <arena> MAXLEVEL <maximum level>
   - Only those whose level is equal to or under the maximum level will be
     able to participate in the next event.

ARENA SETUP <arena> MINLEVEL <minimum level>
   - Only those whose level is equal to or greather than the minimum level
     will be able to participate in the next event.

   - Resets an arena. Kicks everybody in it out and clears off any event.

ARENA WITHDRAW <arena> <amount>
   - Withdraw gold from an Arena.

ARENA DEPOSIT <arena> <amount>
   - Deposit gold in the operating account of an Arena.

INIT <event> <arena>
   - Initializes an event in an Arena. You will want to do any SETUP commands
     on the Arena first. Example: INIT FREEFORALL AVENGER. All players who can
     participate in the event will see a message offering them the chance to
   - Possible events are, providing your Arena is equipped with them:
       freeforall, wargames

START <event> <arena>
   - Begins an event. Example START BAITGAME AVENGER.

Below is an example of what ARENA SHOW displays, and what each field in it

--[Arena #1]------------------------------------------------------------------
   Name:     avenger                   Basename:  arena
   Fullname: the Klangratch Tournies
   Staging:  STAGING_AVENGER           Spectator: SPECTATOR_AVENGER
   Gold:     113733                    Owner:     none
   Lifetime: 32458                     Fee:       5 (per level)

Total Events Held:
   Duels: 16  FFAs: 0  Freezes: 0  Baits: 0

Events and Mods:
   Duel  FFA  Freezetag  Baitgame

Game: Free-for-all
   Max level: 85  Min level: 40
   Estarra Roark

  - Indicates what name you have to refer to the Arena by.

  - Not relevant for mortals.

  - The proper name of the Arena.

  - The god names for the rooms that are the Staging and Spectator for the
    Arena. Not very useful for a mortal but there for the sake of completeness.

  - The amount of gold currently in the Arena's account.

  - The owner of the Arena.

  - Lifetime earnings from that Arena.

  - The fee to use the Arena. It will specify whether it is a per level fee or
    a flat fee.

Total Events Held
  - Keeps track of the total number of events of each type that have been held
    in that Arena.

Events and Mods (Modifications):
  - What events that Arena is able to run, and what modifications, if any, it

Allowed Participants and Groups:

Motor home wiring for brake controller

I am planning to pull a 16 ft car-hauler trailer w/two axle brakes. I have a 2008 40' Phaeton on a Freightliner chasis. Does anyone out there know if there's a place (perhaps under the dash) that has a connection for a brake controller which may go to the dingy receptical (used for the stop/tail lights) at the rear of the coach? Any help is appreciated.

We have a 2006 39' Coachmen on a Custom Freghtliner chassis and it had a plug under the dash for a contoller. I hooked up a controller for aux brakes on a toad. Spent several hours upside down under the dash looking for the plug but finally found it!! It should be located someplace near the steering column and is probably tied up inside of a bundle of wires.!

Tiffin had Freightliner put the plug under the dash behind the instruments. Unfortunately, they did not leave the plug empty. They used at least the power and ground lines for other behind the dash functions. I have the cable colors, and plug configuration, but it is in a .PDF file and I don't know how to attach it in this forum. If you PM me with your email address, I'd be glad to send it to you. Once you locate the plug, you can splice your brake controller into the wires without a problem.

The easiest way to find and access the plug is to remove the screws holding the dash instrument backing in the dash and pull it forward. Beats standing on your head.

Happy and Sad

Isaac Hernández, Self-portrait, oil pastel on paper, 2010.

I’ve been drawing self-portraits for many years. It’s funny, because I don’t look at myself in the mirror very much, other than when I’m drawing a self-portrait. There are many days when I don’t look at myself in the mirror at all. After all, if you don’t shave or comb your hair, you don’t need a mirror. You can wash your face, floss and brush teeth without seeing you.

When I paint a self-portrait, the person in the mirror is a stranger. And since painting occurs very much as meditation for me, that person is often pensive. And those thoughts looks different every time. I’d like to capture silly emotions all the time, but do you know how difficult is to keep a big smile while looking at yourself in the mirror for hours? And with no make up! I invite you to try it.

Some people have given me a hard time for painting myself sad all the time. To them, I dedicate the self-portrait above. What can I say. I’m a happy guy. And I’m a sad guy. I treasure all emotions. I’m happy I’m sad. I couldn’t have painted myself happy without painting myself sad first, see below. Because if we were happy all the time, we would be bored from happiness.

Both portraits are still in progress. I guess everything is always in progress. When it’s over, you die. I’ve tweaked the one on the bottom several times, correcting different elements to make the forced perspective from down below work. Thanks to Libby Smith, who I had as a teacher, it’s easy for me to see what’s wrong in a face, mostly my face. Yes, I know, Libby, the ears need to move a bit lower still and the left eye (the eye on the left which also happens to be my left eye, since it’s a reflection) still needs more work. And the right could use some adjustments too. But I ran out of yellow. I painted until the oil pastel was the size of a grain of rice. I’ll get some more yellow, and I’ll continue working on it once I shave. I will come back to this blog and add the dimensions. Suffice to say that the sad golden portrait below is at least four times larger than the happy blue portrait above. What does it all mean?

Evolution of Self-Portrait. ©2012 Isaac Hernandez

Immediately after I finished the last happy self-portrait I set off to making a new one. I wanted to revisit the idea of having both hands in the picture, so as to take turns painting with one hand and then the other. I did this for the first time in one of my first oil pastel self-portraits; the one that reminds people of Edvard Munch’s The Scream.

I also wanted to use up all the colors that I never use, since I was running out of bright colors anyhow. So I started with pink, purple, black and beige… The sequence above was all done in one day (actually in just over one hour, which is fast for me), on November 2011. Interestingly, I ended the session by drifting to oranges and blues, colors that I tend to use more.

But one thing was different, I left some black showing through; I normally don’t use black at all, except when I painted the black-and-white self portrait, Thinking of Basquiat. And yes, I wanted to make a serious portrait for no particular reason, perhaps to balance the happy one.

I left the drawing in the studio for months. I wanted to continue painting it, but I didn’t. I can make many excuses, but the thing is that I didn’t. Nevertheless, I’ve been busy with many other creative endeavors, including writing The Magical Seaweed play, so I didn’t miss painting terribly (only a lot). But I did wonder whether I was ever going to finish this self-portrait.

Then, on February 11, 2012, after a day in which I felt like people didn’t care for what I had to say, including some of my students in the photography class, I hid in the art studio. I suddenly was in the same mood as the painting I had started over two months ago. I don’t remember ever painting with so much anguish. Below’s the result, although it’s probably not done yet (I ran out of orange!). I won’t touch it much more, as I like the looseness of some of the “brushstrokes”.

Some people don’t like that I paint myself looking sad. Is it because they prefer to think of me as a happy person. Well, I’m a happy person, but I do get sad, and I celebrate that. Besides, it’s easier to be serious than laughing when you’re holding a pose in front of the mirror.

Factors influencing the postoperative use of ...

Title Factors influencing the postoperative use of analgesics in dogs and cats by Canadian veterinarians
Author(s) Susan E. Dohoo, Ian R. Dohoo
Journal The Canadian Veterinary Journal. La Revue Veterinaire Canadienne
Date 1996
Volume 37
Issue 9
Start page 552
End page 556
Abstract Four hundred and seventeen Canadian veterinarians were surveyed to determine their postoperative use of analgesics in dogs and cats following 6 categories of surgeries, and their opinion toward pain perception and perceived complications associated with the postoperative use of potent opioid analgesics. Three hundred and seventeen (76%) returned the questionnaire. An analgesic user was defined as a veterinarian who administers analgesics to at least 50% of dogs or 50% of cats following abdominal surgery, excluding ovariohysterectomy. The veterinarians responding exhibited a bimodal distribution of analgesic use, with 49.5% being defined as analgesic users. These veterinarians tended to use analgesics in 100% of animals following abdominal surgery. Veterinarians defined as analgesic nonusers rarely used postoperative analgesics following any abdominal surgery. Pain perception was defined as the average of pain rankings (on a scale of 1 to 10) following abdominal surgery, or the value for dogs or cats if the veterinarian worked with only 1 of the 2 species. Maximum concern about the risks associated with the postoperative use of potent opioid agonists was defined as the highest ranking assigned to any of the 7 risks evaluated in either dogs or cats. Logistic regression analysis identified the pain perception score and the maximum concern regarding the use of potent opioid agonists in the postoperative period as the 2 factors that distinguished analgesic users from analgesic nonusers. This model correctly classified 68% of veterinarians as analgesic users or nonusers. Linear regression analysis identified gender and the presence of an animal health technologist in the practice as the 2 factors that influenced pain perception by veterinarians. Linear regression analysis identified working with an animal health technologist, graduation within the past 10 years, and attendance at continuing education as factors that influenced maximum concern about the postoperative use of opioid agonists.

Code of Conduct

January 2003 - The original text is in English and is definitive in case of dispute about translations.

The Internet Society's motto, for many years, has been "The Internet is for Everyone." As the Internet continues to penetrate into every corner of human society and of the economy, members of the Internet Society (ISOC) have a responsibility to demonstrate the standards of behaviour that are appropriate to continued growth and beneficial use of the Internet. People designing, building and operating Internet services, or simply using the Internet as a major tool in everyday life and work, need to adopt standards of behaviour like those of any profession. We build bridges and buildings to stand for at least 100 years, resisting natural and man-made disasters as far as possible, and to be useful for applications beyond their original design. Despite its rate of change, the Internet should be the same. Also, it should be deployed for the benefit of individuals and society, and Internet professionals have a consequent personal responsibility. Similarly, people simply using Internet services have a corresponding responsibility to avoid misuse.

The purpose of this code of conduct is to indicate the standard of professional behaviour to which ISOC members aspire, and which is intended to be an example to Internet professionals as a whole. It can be used by members to measure their own behaviour, and as a reference when considering the behaviour of others. The items in the code are intended to be as close as possible to observable or measureable behaviours, rather than requiring subjective or ethical judgement.

The code serves to define a form of professional identity. Although many aspects also apply to every user of the Internet, it is intended to give ISOC members a sense that they belong to a community with shared values and shared responsibilities.

The Code of Conduct

  • When designing, implementing, operating and using Internet technology and services,
  • when formulating or influencing relevant policies, laws, and regulations,
  • and in all professional and personal dealings an ISOC member will
  1. Take all reasonable care to ensure that his or her work and the products of his or her work cause no avoidable danger or physical harm to any person.
  2. Take all reasonable steps to minimise waste of natural resources, damage to the environment, and damage to products of human skill and industry.
  3. If his or her professional advice is not accepted, take all reasonable steps to ensure that all persons neglecting or over-ruling this advice are aware of the possible danger or damage which may result.
  4. Avoid deploying technologies that defeat generally accepted technical principles of the Internet, as documented primarily by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). In particular, avoid technologies that tend to subdivide access to the Internet rather than preserving its universal, unique, and international nature, except as required by security mechanisms mentioned in the next paragraph.
  5. Pay particular attention to the protection of Internet services against disaster and against a physical or electronic attack, and to the protection of the integrity and privacy of stored or transmitted information.
  6. Take all reasonable steps, including education and the wide spreading of knowledge, to ensure the Internet can be available, accessible, and useful to everyone.
  7. Only offer or claim to offer opinions or services that lie within the member's actual knowledge or competence.
  8. In the case of financial or material conflict between personal and professional interests, or between two professional interests, declare this conflict to all interested parties and if appropriate in public.
  9. Respect the generally accepted norms of Internet etiquette for human communications, especially by avoiding communications that are false or are likely to be considered as discourteous, objectionable, malicious, unwanted, or causing unjustified loss of prestige. Avoid fraudulent or deceptive statements.
  10. Respect the rights of all Internet users to privacy of, and freedom of access to, information and communication; promote these rights within the limits of his or her power.
  11. Treat all users and colleagues fairly and on equal terms.
  12. Respect legitimate intellectual property rights, do not plagiarize the work of others, and give credit to the originators of ideas.
  13. Encourage others to follow this code of conduct, and discourage breaches of this code. Offer and accept honest and constructive criticisms of opinions and work as they relate to this code.
  14. Not associate with, and not allow ISOC's name to be associated with, persons or organizations consistently in breach of this code.

Abuchatzeira Associates Claim Cooperation on Taxes

Sources close to Rabbi Yekutiel Abuchatzeira rejected, Sunday, claims by tax authorities that the rabbi did not report 9.5 million shekels in income between 2003 and 2009. The sources told Arutz Sheva that Abuchatzeira "is a modest man who devotes his time to studying Torah and helping others." They said they have receipts to prove their claims that the rabbi transferred the contributions to their targets.

The sources say Rabbi Abutchatzeira opened his door to tax authorities and insisted on full cooperation, handing over all his documents except for what the called a ridiculous reques for 12-year-old children to fill out a financial statement.

Messianic Petition Challenges ‘Christ at the Checkpoint’

Monday, March 03, 2014 |  Israel Today Staff

Please note that those who would like to sign this petition can do so by visiting:

With the third biannual Christ at the Checkpoint conference just a week away, a majority of Israeli Messianic Jews continue to find the event too politically-charged and too undergirded by anti-Semitic themes to be taken seriously as a platform for reconciliation between Israelis and Palestinians, and between Jewish and Arab believers.

While many Messianics are choosing to reserve comment until after Christ at the Checkpoint, others believe the content of the previous two conferences is reason enough to speak out now, and make clear why they simply cannot participate.

The following is a petition circulated by Israeli Messianic academic, author and rabbi, Dr. David Friedman, and signed by many local and foreign Messianic leaders.

It begins with a letter addressing directly the organizers and sponsors of Christ at the Checkpoint:

To the sponsors of the Christ at the Checkpoint (CatC) Conference,

We hope you will give consideration to our objections, and not dismiss them out of hand, given their serious nature.

None of us desire a state of conflict or war between Israelis and Palestinians; however, neither do we desire to see anti-Semitic insinuations at what purports to be a reconciliation effort. And we have seen such via the first two CatC conferences.

If either Rev. Jack Sarah or Rev. Munthar Isaac [the leading organizers of CatC] desire at any point to dialogue with Dr. David Friedman regarding the anti-Semitic contents of previous conferences, such can certainly be arranged. We are saying that wide changes in the CatC approach need to occur, and some contents from past conferences need to be repudiated, in order for the anti-Semitism of past conferences to disappear.

The petition that Israeli Messianic leaders were asked to sign (along with those signatures) reads:

To the sponsors of the Christ at the Checkpoint Conference,

We, the undersigned, will not attend or support the Christ at the Checkpoint Conference because of our assessment of its anti-Semitic content and undertones. We cannot remain silent at a time like this, and as a matter of conscience, we express our serious concern for both the sponsors of this conference, and over the content, message and activities of the past two conferences.

We urge all participants to check their own hearts and minds regarding their attitude towards the Jewish people and the Jewish nation. Anti-Israel politics and political correctness have emerged as focal points of this conference, to which end the state of Israel and the Jewish people have been singled out for constant and severe criticism. The conference sponsors retain connections to pro-jihadist movements or persons, whose political stances threaten the entire Middle East. By retaining such connections, the conference has failed to uphold points #6 and #10 of its own manifesto.

As sincere believers in Messiah Yeshua, we cannot, and we will not, endorse this conference.

Sincerely, and with grave concern,

Dr. and Mrs. David Friedman, Israel
Mr. Elyahu ben Haim, Israel
Mr. Marvin Kramer, J.D., Israel

Resolved questions
pronunciation mistakes

i want to ask specially the non chinese learning chinese what r the pronuonciation mistakes they commit during learning cause i'm making a research about that point ,thank you

For learning: Chinese (Mandarin)
Base language: English
Category: Uncategorized

    Please enter between 2 and 2000 characters.

    Sort by:
    Best Answer - Chosen by Voting
    research eh? well mandarin or rather chinese is a very tonal language. the guide lines for pronunciation is based on 5 tones; 1st tone (high) 2nd tone (rising) 3rd tone (falling + rising) 4th tone (rising) and the 5th tone (neutral). mastering the tones individually is the first step, however that is not enough. the tones are a guideline for how characters sound individually on their own, however in a sentence the tones may change slightly. this is something they don't teach you in class, and its hard to teach without being in an environment which you can pick up these tiny nuances. for example the third tone, may sound more like just a low tone. and the neutral tone comes into play a lot. good luck on your research, there is too much to say. regional difference come into play as well. however if you were to base everything on the concept of standard mandarin it would make it easier.

    My own opinion and short answer.
    I think it depends which countries' pp to learn Chinese.
    For example: if Japanese want to learn Chinese. it's hard for them to pronounce "er" sound.
    Coz they don't have the kind of sound in their language system.
    But write Chinese characters maybe easier for them than other countries.
    On the other hand, maybe Spanish will be easier to pronounce the "er" sound.
    But it'll hard for them to learn writing.
    At the last. I think the "accent" is also a problem for foreigners in pronunciation.
    Hope it's helpful to you.
    Best Rgds.

    I think r sound is same as r sound in English. So if someone can pronounce r in English, it is easy part for them. I saw many er sound's chinese such as 儿， 二， 耳， 而, but it is OK to me.

    I'm not chinese, but I'm also not learning chinese.
    Pronouniation misstakes would probably do everyone. Also in every language.
    The only way to help yourself, ist finding a teacher or Tandem partner via Skype etc. As many you have, the better it would be for you. And these people know about your problem and are not so strict with you, when doing mistakes.

    An other possibility could be this link. But this one can help also a lot of other people. Text to speech.
    With copy and paste, yo put text in the box. Then you choose the appropirate language and then push "say it".

    An other way to learn faster, is to think in that language, when making sentences. You can do this all the time, 24H per day.

    For much more informations, you can check the internet. I found:
    79.000 für pronunciation mistakes +in chinese
    374.000 für pronunciation mistakes +chinese
    350.000 für pronunciation mistakes +with chinese.
    I hope you can find here, some more helpful informations.
    Good bye and goog luck.

    i don't know..because i'm not lerning chinese

    sounding the 'r'. 'l' and q..

    i am chinese,so it's very easy for me to pronounce it.
    but also i find difficulty in distinguish the sound "niu" & "liu".

Academic Programs

Culture and Communication (B.A.)

Curious as to how the images, stories, songs, organizations, media, and technologies created by different global communities can define a culture? If so, our B.A. in culture and communication may be the right major for you.

The program is based on the links between two intellectual premises: our cultural assumptions inform and shape our ability to communicate; and communication is the process through which culture is created, modified, and challenged. To better understand the relationship between these two ideas, you’ll study communicative and cultural practice from a wide variety of perspectives from across the College.

This interdisciplinary program draws primarily from the curricula in the Departments of Communication Studies, Television-Radio, Cinema and Photography, and Organizational Communication, Learning, and Design, as well as departments in all five schools at the College. Majors must complete six core courses including one foundation course for each area of inquiry, satisfy the requirements for a minor in a complementary field, achieve foreign language proficiency, and fulfill the requirements of one of the four areas of inquiry: visual and cinema studies, international/intercultural communication, media and cultural studies, and organizational culture and technology. In addition to your work with the four sponsoring faculties, you’ll take courses in a variety of areas, including English, art history, theater arts, Web development, sociology, business, modern languages and literature, music, and health policy studies.

Study isn’t limited to the classroom. Students will learn the critical thinking, research, and writing skills necessary to tell the stories that matter to them. Faculty members serve as mentors to students eager to take charge of their own learning. You’ll also be encouraged to study abroad to better understand how other cultures communicate.

This multidisciplinary curriculum provides students with a host of diverse and easily transferable skills. The major and minor not only help prepare students for an increasingly complex global culture, but open up a wide, flexible range of options not limited to one communications enterprise or graduate area of study. The culture and communication program is oriented toward jobs of the future, not of the past

The Michael A. Pagliarulo Service Award

Growing up in Prince George’s County, Maryland, I was never a child who could sit still. I was always trying to discover new things, investigating how to do things better, and participating in activities that kept me moving. Thus, when I first encountered the field of physical therapy when I tore my ACL at age of twelve, it was not surprising that I immediately fell in love with the profession. Physical therapy combined everything I ever wanted in a career — the constant learning, the caring for people, and of course, the never sitting still. I knew Ithaca College would foster these aspects; thus, when I was admitted into Ithaca College’s Physical Therapy Program and was granted acceptance into the Martin Luther King Scholars’ Program, a program centered on social justice, I knew that Ithaca College was the right choice for me.

Throughout my collegiate career, moments such as working with my first patient in the on-campus physical therapy clinic, researching healthcare accessibility in Ghana, Ecuador and the Dominican Republic, and learning from coursework that was varied and diverse have shaped who I am. Nevertheless, some of the greatest lessons I learned were through the friends that I made, the professionals who mentored me, and the personal growth that I gained through trying new things. Over the past four years, each of my experiences has been a brick in the foundation of my career. It is my plan that as I continue into the graduate portion of my career that this foundation will allow me to deliver quality care as a physical therapist.

Rwanda scores a first in East Africa with $0.5m phone assembly plant

September 30, 2008 • Mobile and Telecoms

Link Technologies from China has set up a $500,000 phone assembling plant in Rwanda that is producing 200 mobile phones a day.

The company’s president, Edward Yin, told The EastAfrican that it has a capacity to assemble about 600 mobile phones a day.

Mr Yin said the firm will invest $2 million more by the end of the year and added there are plans to establish a radio assembling plant as well.

A-Link Technologies, a digital and technology subsidiary of ChinaLink in Beijing, started operations in May and is assembling five different kinds of Rwandan branded mobile phones.

The relatively cheap mobile phones are assembled from imported materials.

Rwanda becomes the first country in the East African region to set up a mobile phone handset-assembling plant.

Early this month, South Korean electronic goods manufacturer LG said it was planning to establish a Ksh100 million ($1.4 million) mobile phone handset assembly plant in Kenya by next year.

LG said the Nairobi-based company would lead to a reduction in the prices of mobile handsets in Kenya by 15 per cent.

A-Link Technologies has set up its assembly plant at Communications House (ICT Park) in Kacyiru. It was registered in July last year by the Rwanda’s Investment and Export Promotions Agency with a tax exemption on all imported materials.

The company produces a phone brand called Alira. The phone is compatible with GSM technology, which uses replaceable SIM cards. This means it can be used by any communication network that uses GSM technology.

A-Links mobile phones are also the first to be programmed in the local Kinyarwanda language. Kinyarwanda, French and English are the official languages of Rwanda.

“We took the phone’s software to our sister company in China called Research & Development and we re-programmed it to suit the local consumer,” Mr Yin said.

Three men, aged 32, 35, and 27, were arrested yesterday in central London for impersonating a police officer and conspiracy to steal.

They were in custody in a central London police station today pending further inquiries.

Sun Editor: Page 3 will stay 'as it's a good way to sell papers'

The new editor of The Sun has said that Page 3 is will remain in the paper.

David Dinsmore has come under increasing pressure recently from campaigners to stop printing topless pictures in the newspaper.

Speaking on LBC he said that a new exhibition at the British Museum was "far more explicit."

Mr Dinsmore said: "This is Japanese art - Spring Pictures as it's euphemistically called. It's given the editor of the Times the opportunity to put a naked Japanese lady on page 3, which as we know is a good way of selling newspapers."

When challenged on whether page 3 is safe he added: "It is, it is, yes I can tell you that.

"This stuff at the British Museum is far more explicit and raunchy."

Merkel: Russian actions could lead to a catastrophe

German Chancellor Angela Merkel has stepped up her criticism of Russia, saying the country has "exploited Ukraine's weakness instead of acting as a partner for stability."

Speaking in the German parliament, the Chancellor warned that if Russia continues its path, it would be "a catastrophe not just for Ukraine and the EU, but also for Russia."

She said that EU leaders are ready to "take further action" if Russia continues to destabilise the situation.

"The territorial integrity of Ukraine cannot be called into question," she said.

Mrs Merkel said the situation in Ukraine's southern region of Crimea was not comparable to the case of Kosovo in the Balkans.

12 best email marketing tips for professionals

To find out what email marketing tips are trending and showing success with list subscribers, CIO.com spoke with leading email marketing vendors and analysts to come up with this best-of-breed email marketing tactics list.

1. Capture Emails With Double Opt-In

"Using double opt-in forms on websites, blogs, social media pages and anywhere prospective recipients may be looking to stay in touch with you is a must," says Paul Turnbull, product marketing manager at Campaigner. Double opt-in means the system sends a confirmation request to the submitted email address, requiring the owner to take an action-usually click a link in the email-to confirm that they are the email address owner and want to subscribe to the mail list.

2. Reach Consumers Wherever They Are

"In today's highly connected world, consumers want to connect with businesses in a variety of ways: email, social media, mobile and more. As a result, businesses need the ability to reach consumers wherever they are," says Ron Cates, director of new market development at Constant Contact. Outside of using traditional tools to grow your email list, there are many unique and interesting options. These include "placing a sign-up form or guest book at your place of business and adding a Join My Mailing List button to your website and your Facebook page," Cates says. In addition, there are new tools for signing up to stay connected with businesses or organizations from virtually anywhere. For example, Constant Contact offers Text-to-Join, in which users are added to an email list after sending a text message to a designated keyword, and Scan-to-Join, which lets customers join a list by scanning a QR code that a business has placed on a flyer, business card or other printed media, he says.

3. Get Only What You Need

"Think about what information is most valuable for your list and how to capture it in the briefest way possible," Turnbull says. "For example, if geographic location is needed, consider prompting only for zip code instead of street address or phone number." An email address is the only prompt you need, but if you do ask for additional information, he recommends you consider making it optional and give some reason or additional incentive for doing so. "You can also get more info later, either directly or indirectly, after they sign up," he explains.

4. Keep Subject Lines Short and Precise

"Subject lines should be less than 50 characters, and that includes spaces," Cates says. The very best subject lines-the ones that get opened the most every time-are the ones that tell exactly what's in the email. Turnbull agrees that good subject lines should be as brief as possible, accurately reflect what is inside and motivate the recipient to open the message. "Ask yourself if this subject would stand out if it was one of the dozens of unread emails in your inbox," he says.

5. Write Like a Human

Remember that your email subscribers are people too, so don't be afraid to let your personality show. Good writing really matters in marketing, and one of the email marketing tips Cates says can really make a difference in connecting with customers is to write like a human. "Drop all the marketing and sales-speak. Just like social media, one of the great things about email is that it has allowed businesses to speak in a more casual voice with their customers and fans. This means you can be funny and loose in the ways you get your messages across," he explains. "Write to your readers like they're people, not customers or subscribers, because that's exactly what they are."

6. Brand With a Clear Call-To-Action

"Ensure the content in the body of the email is well-branded, contains relevant content and has clear and compelling call-to-action links that are evident early on in the email-above the fold," Turnbull says. "These important links should always be tracked, so those [who] click through (or not) can be potentially targeted in the future."

7. Be Mobile Aware

Econsultancy Research Manager Aliya Zaidi says email is no longer just on a computer-it's also mobile content on smartphones and iPads. As a result, Zaidi's email marketing tips include being aware of how your message is delivered and displayed on different mobile devices. "Think about touchscreens and how you can optimize an email to improve this part of the customer experience," Zaidi says. For some, mobile is read offline, which limits real-time offers in the content, she says. On the other hand, mobile does let you do some things better, such as target by location.

8. Send the Right Message to the Right Person

"It's hard to overestimate how useful a really good list can be-especially when it's been targeted to include the right groups of people," Cates says. People who are interested in only one product or aspect of your business or organization may not always be interested in every part. "Whether you are a pet store that wants to give a coupon to dog owners and not cat owners, or a nonprofit that wants to communicate with previous contributors but not volunteers, having separate lists so that you can tailor your email campaigns is a must," he advises.

9. Get a Real Sense of Your Customer

You need a real sense of where your customers, clients, or supporters fit to effectively segment your lists. Cates' email marketing tips include thinking about what sort of campaigns you plan to send in the future, as well as what your customers want and expect from you. "This can be as easy as sending out a brief survey to find out who wants to be receiving what. Just be clear, and explain why you're asking these questions," he says. This sets expectations up front and will often result in a higher response rate. "Once you know how you want to segment your lists and know how you'll create them, you can work on filling them with subscribers."

10. Use Polls to Gather Data Quickly

If you need more customer data to properly segment lists, Cates recommends the use of a poll as a quick way to get people's opinions on a single topic. For customers, it's visual, it's interesting, and it takes just a second to answer, Cates says. As a result, you can use a poll to "help foster a sense of interaction, since those who answer can see what other customers have picked," he says. "Once you've got a good pool of responses, you can create new lists based on your results."

11. Test: Don't Spray and Pray

"Spray and pray emails will never perform as well as tailored emails to particular contact segments," Turnbull says. He recommends segmentation for creating targeted email campaigns based on behavioral information or other contact data you know about each recipient. Doing so also helps to "determine&the right tactic for each segment," he adds. This can be done through A/B testing, which tracks the performance of two or more entirely different versions of an email message. "You can try a soft-sell message to your most active subscribers while offering a significant discount to those that are less active or haven't clicked lately," he explains.

12. Enrich the Contact Data

While segmentation is effective, Turnbull notes that it is only as flexible as your contact data. He suggests that you look for ways to enrich contact data for purposes of targeting email campaigns by "appending contact data from other sources you have available-for example, CRM databases, website behavioral data, purchase history or other contact historical data."

Choloepus didactylus is listed as Least Concern in view of its wide distribution, presumed large population, its occurrence in a number of protected areas, and because it is unlikely to be declining fast enough to qualify for listing in a threatened category.
2013 Least Concern
2006 Least Concern
1996 Data Deficient

Geographic Range [top]

Range Description: Choloepus didactylus ranges through Venezuela (the delta and south of the Río Orinoco) and the Guianas (French Guiana, Guyana, and Suriname) south into Brazil (Maranhão state west along the Rio Amazonas/Solimões) and west into the upper Amazon Basin of Ecuador and Peru. Its southern limit in the western Amazon of Brazil is unclear. It occurs in the southern departments of Colombia, with its northern limit being the departments of Meta and Guainía. It ranges from sea level up to 2,400 m Asl (Britton 1941).

Population [top]

Population: In French Guiana, C. didactylus has been found at densities of 0.9 animals per hectare (Taube et al. 1999). In the Brazilian Amazon, estimated densities range from 0.13 individuals per hectare (Manaus region) to 0.88 animals per hectare in the flooded forests (Mamirauá Reserve; Queiroz 1995, Chiarello 2008).
Population Trend: Unknown

Habitat and Ecology [top]

Habitat and Ecology: Choloepus didactylus is found in tropical moist lowland and montane forest. Two-toed sloths have nocturnal and solitary habits. Gestation length seems to be approximately 10 months (Eisenberg and Maliniak 1985) but estimates are quite variable.
There is few information on the diet of wild individuals (Chiarello 2008). A rather unusual observation in the Amazon of north-eastern Peru recorded an adult individual descending to the forest floor to feed on a human latrine (Heymann et al. 2011).
Systems: Terrestrial

Use and Trade [top]

Use and Trade: Choloepus didactylus is probably hunted opportunistically, but there is no serious bushmeat trade.

Threats [top]

Major Threat(s): There are no major threats to C. didactylus. Because they are usually found high in the canopy, motionless and virtually invisible, they are not as commonly hunted as armadillos or anteaters, and there are taboos against their consumption by some native groups. They are probably hunted opportunistically, but there is no serious bushmeat trade.

Conservation Actions [top]

Conservation Actions: Choloepus didactylus is present in many protected areas.

VAT Bad Debt Relief
The term "VAT Bad Debt Relief" refers to the relief a person obtains related to an unpaid debt's VAT-element. Due to a current change, such a relief is given not only after the debtor has been proven to be insolvent, but also in respect to any debt that has been unpaid for at least six months.

The reason for VAT Bad Debt Relief is that today it is possible for a business to be forced to pay over VAT at a time when the company has not yet received payment from its customer. Bad debt relief allows such companies to claim a VAT refund.

The conditions for a business to be able to claim and receive VAT Bad Debt Relief are the following:

- the goods and/ or services must have been supplied and the VAT related to these must have been paid

- 6 months must have been passed after the supply-date

- the outstanding amount must have been written down as "bad debt" in the accounting records, and this must appear in the account called "refunds for bad debts"

It should be noted that if a business makes such a bad debt relief claim, it must keep records to be able to show:

- the time and characteristics of the supply, as well as information on the purchaser and consideration (generally, a VAT invoice is used for this purpose)

- the VAT amount, and the appropriate accounting period when the VAT was paid

- payments received for the supply (if it is the case)

- entry details in the account called "refunds for bad debts"
Next Word: Voluntary Liquidatio

As food, though, cupcakes are democratic; everyone gets one. And they are libertarian; individual and independent compared with communal cakes, which may not have enough slices for everyone.

Galtaji temple is dedicated to Sun God and is famous for its natural water springs.

Galtaji Temple

Galtaji Temple, JaipurA pre-historic Hindu pilgrimage site, the Galtaji Temple, is located only 10km away from Jaipur. One of the jewels of Jaipur, the temple complex encompasses natural fresh water springs and 7 holy 'kunds' or water tanks. Among these kunds, the 'Galta Kund', is the holiest one and is believed to never get dry. A spring of pure water flows from the 'Gaumukh', a rock shaped like a cow's head, into the tanks. A spectacular structure, this magnificent temple is built in pink sandstone, amidst low hills, and is structured to look more like a palace or 'haveli' than a traditional temple. The Galta Monkey Temple has a back-drop of gorgeous landscape featuring lush green vegetation, and offers a fascinating view of the city of Jaipur. This temple is famous for the many tribes of monkeys that dwell in this area. The religious hymns and chants, combined with the natural setting, provide a peaceful ambience for anyone who visits there.

Diwan Rao Kriparam, an attendant to Sawai Jai Singh II, in the 18th Century, built the Galtaji Temple.

It is believed that, Saint Galav spent all his life here and performed his 'tapasya' for 100 years. Pleased with his penance, the Gods appeared before him and blessed his place of worship with abundant water. To honour this great 'rishi', a temple was built here and it was named after him. Taking a dip in the natural springs of Galtaji is considered very auspicious and is said to cleanse a person of his sins.

Layout Of The Temple
The Galtaji Temple is located in the Aravalli hills and is bounded by dense trees and bushes. This impressive building is ornamented by painted walls, adorned by rounded roofs and pillars. Apart from the kunds, there are temples of Lord Ram, Lord Krishna and Lord Hanuman situated within the temple complex.

Best Time To Visit
Every year in mid-January, on 'Makar Sankranti', a large crowd of visitors come here to take a dip in the holy kund. Sunset is the best time to visit this gracious temple because, at this time, you can witness a large family of monkeys flocking towards the temple tank, for a bath. The visiting hours for this temple are from sunrise to sunset.

Nearby Tourist Attractions
You can also visit the Krishna Temple, Surya Temple, Balaji Temple and the Sita Ram Temple, situated very near to the Galtaji Temple. Another tourist attraction near this temple is the Sisodia Rani Ka Bagh, which is a magnificent palace and garden.

A reminder of the regality of Rajasthan, the Galtaji Temple has a splendid architecture and is enclosed in natural scenic beauty. This temple, located in a mystical place, is a pleasure for all tourists. The sacred shrine, surrounded by a clan of monkeys, makes this place, eye-catching and interesting, for nature lovers and photographers.

Lavay Smith is internationally recognized as The Queen Of Classic Jazz & Blues in the authentic style of the 1940's and 1950's. Lavay's last album received a prestigious 4 & 1/2 Star review in Downbeat magazine. For quotes and reviews from critics like Bob Blumenthal, Don Heckman, Phil Elwood and Frank-John Hadley. “Lavay is wonderful! She and her band are a breath of fresh air.

Greg's Corner: Greed, Wealth & LEGO

By Greg Harris

It was the word LEGO that caught my eye in the local newspaper. While the national news gets most of the attention, what's happening in my neighborhood is far more critical to my life. And yet when the local news seems to mirror the national news, the impact is magnified.

The article detailed the theft of $30,000 worth of LEGO products. But it was the second paragraph of the article that caused my jaw to drop.

The article went on to identify the alleged thief as my neighbor who lives in the mansion on the hill behind my house. While I don't know the neighbor, the house has always created twinges of jealousy. It's got to be worth at least $3 million and sits on a huge piece of land overlooking the open space reserve that gives it expansive rare rural views of the Silicon Valley.
Greg's Corner

Not only is he clearly rich, but the paper pointed out that he is a Senior Vice President at one of the world's largest technology companies. So why did this guy steal LEGO Mindstorms?

Here's the jaw-dropping part. According to the paper, he would purchase an inexpensive LEGO product, go home and scan the barcode to create a duplicate barcode sticker. Then he returned to the store and covered the real barcode with his homemade one. The result was that he purchased the product for a fraction of its value. The greedy game clearly worked long enough for him to amass $30K worth of stolen inventory, but ultimately he was caught by in-store security cameras.

Here is someone who seemingly had everything, yet "excessive greed" appeared to have led him to break the rules.

We've been thinking a lot about greed lately. Jameco's current catalog features a depression-era image shot by Dorthea Lange that is still relevant today. It depicts an American worker, head down, out of work with his back to the wall. Sadly, with stubbornly high unemployment rates and a struggling economy, American workers continue to be backed against the wall.

It appears to us that "excessive greed" is driving problems both on a local and national level and at the end of the day the people who suffer the most are those who can least afford it.

Jameco plays by the rules and plays for the long-term. We're accountable for our actions. We hold our employees, our vendors and even our customers accountable every day. It's a core value that makes it difficult for us to understand what drives excessive greed.

From my corner of the world, there is only one answer. With the Fall elections in the United States quickly approaching, now is the time to register to vote because voting is the best way for the average citizen to hold someone accountable.

There is nothing more frustrating in life than when people and companies don't play by the rules. Whether it's parking within the lines, or being courteous to a stranger, the world works better when we all follow the rules.

10th Anniversary

For every secret

Detective Lindsay Boxer's long-awaited wedding celebration becomes a distant memory when she is called to investigate a horrendous crime: a badly injured teenage girl is left for dead, and her newborn baby is nowhere to be found. Lindsay discovers that not only is there no trace of the criminals—but that the victim may be keeping secrets as well.

For every lie

At the same time, Assistant District Attorney Yuki Castellano is prosecuting the biggest case of her life—a woman who has been accused of murdering her husband in front of her two young children. Yuki's career rests on a guilty verdict, so when Lindsay finds evidence that could save the defendant, she is forced to choose. Should she trust her best friend or follow her instinct?

There's a different way to die

Lindsay's every move is watched by her new boss, Lieutenant Jackson Brady, and when the pressure to find the baby begins interfering with her new marriage to Joe, she wonders if she'll ever be able to start a family. With James Patterson's white-hot speed and unquenchable action, 10th Anniversary is the most deliciously chilling Women's Murder Club book ever.

Chapter 8

GAINES HELD THE DOOR for Yuki, then followed her into the wood-paneled courtroom. The defense table was empty. There were only half a dozen people in the gallery.

They settled in at the prosecutors' table behind the bar. Yuki straightened her jacket and her hair and then squared her notebook computer with the edge of the table.

"If I get stuck, just smile at me," Yuki said to her second chair.

Gaines grinned, gave her a thumbs-up, and said, "You've heard of Cool Hand Luke? When you see this, it means Cool Hand Yuki."

"Thanks, Nicky."

Yuki was always prepared, but she'd lost a number of cases she had been favored to win. And that losing streak had taken a bite out of her confidence. She'd won her last case, but her opponent had given her a parting shot that still stung.

"What's that, Yuki?" the jerk had said. "Your first win in how long?"

Now she was going up against Philip Hoffman, and she'd lost to him before. Hoffman was no jerk. In fact, he was a gentleman. He wasn't theatrical. He wasn't snide. He was a serious dude, partner in a law firm of the highest order, and he specialized in criminal defense of the wealthy.

Hoffman's client, Dr. Candace Martin, was a well-known heart surgeon who'd killed her philandering louse of a husband.

Candace Martin was pleading not guilty. She said she didn't kill Dennis Martin, but that was a monumental lie. There was enough evidence to convict her a few times over. And yes, the People even had the smoking gun.

Yuk's nervousness faded.

Shei knew her stuff. And she had the evidence to prove it.

The best roast potatoes

It doesn't matter how good your meat or gravy are, if you get the roast potatoes wrong – it's all over. You can make these in advance if you want to and reheat them later, or even just get them up to the stage where they're coated in the fat, then cook them another day.

  • 1.2 kg potatoes, such as Maris Piper or King Edwards, peeled & cut into rough chunks
  • 6 carrots, peeled
  • 6 parsnips, peeled & halved lengthways
  • sea salt
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • olive oil, a few knobs of butter or fat from your turkey/goose, if you have some
  • a few sprigs of fresh rosemary, leaves picked
  • 1 bulb of garlic
  • 1 zest of lemon
  • 2 zest of clementines

Preheat your oven to 220˚C/425˚F/gas 6. Add the potatoes, carrots and parsnips to a large pan of salted boiling water. Cook on a high heat for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the outside of the parsnips and potatoes start to break down slightly. Drain in a colander and leave to steam dry for a couple of minutes, then toss the colander a few times to fluff up the potatoes – this will make them super crispy later on.

Put a large roasting tray on a high heat. Add a couple of lugs of olive oil, the butter or fat – use the fat from your Christmas bird, if you can – and allow it to heat up. Add the rosemary leaves. Break the garlic into unpeeled cloves and add to the tray.

Carefully tip your drained veggies into the tray. Use a fish slice to delicately coat everything in the flavours. Add the lemon and clementine zest with a good pinch of salt and pepper and mix again. Cook in the hot oven for around 45 to 50 minutes, but check them after 35 and jiggle the tray for even cooking. When they're golden and crispy they're perfect and ready to serve.
