Check Out A Blueprint For A Jaeger, One Of Pacific Rim’s Massive Robots
By David Wharton | 7 years ago
Pacific Rim pretty much had us at hello here at GFR’s secret orbital headquarters. Honestly, it would have my attention simply thanks to the involvement of Guillermo del Toro. But it was also written by Travis Beacham, who penned one of my favorite unproduced screenplays ever (a steampunk/dark fantasy detective story called A Killing on Carnival Row). When you add in the fact that the movie involves giant robots punching giant sea monsters in the face, they’re really just running up the score at that point. Now the Pacific Rim marketing campaign has unleashed another dose of awesome: a blueprint for one of the flick’s massive robotic war machines, called “Jaegers.” (You can click for an embiggened version.)
The blueprints were released by the “Pan Pacific Defense Corps,” which I imagine is a fancy way of saying “badass giant robot pilots.” We’ll be seeing different models of the “Jaegers,” but this model goes by the slightly perplexing name of the “Gipsy Danger.” Okay, that name does make it slightly less badass, but since it’s a giant, monster-fighting robot, it’s got plenty of badassery to spare. At any rate, if you’ve got the materials and a couple of billion dollars, you should have no trouble building one of these for yourself.
The blueprints are part of the Pacific Rim viral campaign that kicked off today with a video “test” of the Kaiju Emergency Alert System and a letter recruiting new Jaeger pilots. You can bet we’ll see a lot more in the next few weeks as we lead up to the release of the first official trailer, likely attached to The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey.
Pacific Rim opens in theaters on July 12, 2013.

Employee smelling of alcohol unfairly dismissed
Home » Blog » Employee smelling of alcohol unfairly dismissed
Many employers will assume that there may be grounds for dismissal when an employee attends work smelling of alcohol. However, in the recent case of McElory v Cambridgeshire Community Services NHS Trust, an Employment Tribunal has held that the dismissal of an employee without notice after attending work smelling of alcohol was unfair.
The employee, Mr McElory was employed by the NHS Cambridge Community Services as a health care assistant.
In August 2013, a colleague informed Mr McElory’s line manager that Mr McElroy smelt of alcohol. His line manager then interviewed him and had the same view. Mr McElroy was suspended pending an investigation and the matters were referred to the Trust’s occupational health department.
The Trust’s disciplinary policy stated that being unfit for work because of alcohol consumption was an example of gross misconduct. It referred to the Trust’s Substance Misuse Policy which interpreted this to mean that the employee was unable to function effectively at work. The Substance Misuse Policy did not ban drinking alcohol shortly before coming to work but recommended that employees avoid doing this. It also stated that an employee disagreeing with a medical diagnosis or refusing medical help would not be grounds for disciplinary action but unacceptable standards of work would be dealt with under the disciplinary policy.
Mr McElory denied coming to work under the influence of alcohol and explained that the smell staff had detected was his aftershave. The investigation found that a number of other members of staff had smelt alcohol on Mr McElory on previous occasions but that no one had any concerns regarding his behaviour or that he had been acting drunk.
The Trust received an occupational health report stating that Mr McElory was fit for work and that any further concerns should be dealt with under the Trust’s Substance Misuse Policy. Mr McElory’s line manager then became aware that he had been admitted to hospital with oesophagitis which she was aware could be connected to excessive alcohol consumption. His line manager then sent specific questions to Occupational Health and asked Mr McElory to attend a further occupational health assessment but he refused to attend. Following a re-scheduled disciplinary hearing Mr McElory was dismissed.
Mr McElory appealed the dismissal but was unsuccessful so issued a claim of unfair dismissal in the Employment Tribunal.
The Tribunal found that a reasonable employer would not have found Mr McElroy was unfit for work as there was no evidence to show that he had been incapable of carrying out his duties. The reasons for the dismissal included the Trust’s findings concerning the alcohol and the employee’s failure to attend the second occupational health appointment. The failure to attend the occupational health appointment was not an allegation put to the employee before the disciplinary hearing. The Tribunal found that a reasonable employer would not see it as fair to find an allegation proved when it had never been identified to the employee, particularly where it was a serious allegation that may amount to gross misconduct. Further, where a dismissal letter indicated that a request to meet occupational health again was intended to be a supportive, the reasonable employer would have taken into account the fact that the Substance Misuse Policy provided that refusal to participate in such a step would not, in itself, be a reason for disciplinary action.
This case demonstrates the need for employers to ensure that they follow their internal policies and procedures.

Festival of Trees exceeds expectations
News, Top Stories
By David J. Coehrs - dcoehrs@aimmediamidwest.com
A total of 184 people attended Friday’s Sugar Plum Ball, where decorated Christmas trees were auctioned.
Kathy Shaw, CEO/director of Triangular Processing Inc., adjusts the decorations on one of 30 trees auctioned last week during the countywide inaugural Festival of Trees event held at St. Caspar Catholic Church in Wauseon.
A holiday fundraiser destined to become a Yuletide tradition raised thousands of dollars to benefit Fulton County’s developmentally disabled.
The inaugural Festival of Trees, held Nov. 20-23 at St. Caspar Catholic Church in Wauseon, exceeded all hopes for success, Triangular Processing Inc. CEO/Director Kathy Shaw said. She said the four-day event attracted hundreds of people and shone a light on both the acceptance of those with disabilities and the glow of the Christmas season.
“People see it as a community event,” Shaw said. “They like that it benefits the individuals with disabilities, but they also like that it’s something to bring all of us together in Fulton County around the holidays. I think people want that warm and fuzzy feeling.
“It’s taken off like gangbusters. The whole event has exceeded my expectations.”
Following an opening tree-lighting ceremony attended Nov. 20 by more than 100 people, and an after-hours networking and social reception the next day, 184 people attended the Sugar Plum Ball last Friday. Participating in the auction of 30 theme-decorated Christmas trees with minimum bids of $250, they raised $18,000. Tree themes included the Ohio State and Michigan football programs, firefighters, a nutcracker tree, and a glass tree.
Each tree retailed for about $350 without decorations, so “even if they started at the minimum bid they’re getting more than their money’s worth,” Shaw said.
At a children’s breakfast with Santa Claus on Saturday, 190 meals were served.
The total net proceeds of the events were not available at press time.
The purpose of Festival of Trees was to raise money for non-profit Triangular Processing to assist with services to individual disabilities that are government-mandated but not entirely covered by federal funding. The proceeds will benefit day programming, community employment, transportation, the Special Olympics, and recreational events, among other needs.
Shaw said proceeds will also offset the cost of paying Triangular Processing workers a minimum wage. She said paying employees with Medicaid dollars is prohibited.
“We just don’t get enough government funding to cover everything that we have to do,” she said.
Festival of Trees Committee co-chair Mary Stefko said she couldn’t have been more satisfied with the events’ outcomes.
“I was blown away by the community all coming together to support every event every night and Saturday morning,” she said.
Sponsorships from North Star Bluescope Steel, First Federal Bank, Farmers and Merchants State Bank, Andres, O’Neil and Lowe Insurance Co., and Shultz, Huber, and Associates ensured the occasion’s success, Shaw said.
“They did this for TPI, but they also did it for the Fulton County community because they knew that this was going to be more than a fundraising event,” she said.

Paul Reynolds, along with four other cancer survivors, cycled from Land’s End to John o’ Groats with Bums on Bikes. The 53-year-old beat the illness in 2009.
He said: “It was an absolute joy. Cornwall and Devon were really tough because you’re continually climbing.”
Disaster struck as the team entered Scotland when Paul hit a pothole and was catapulted over his handlebars, breaking two ribs and dislocating a finger. But incredibly he was soon back on the bike, via Dumfries A&E, to finish the 870-mile challenge.
Paul was amazed at the generosity of people they met on the way.
“We chatted to a lady in a car park whose cousin had just died of bowel cancer,” he said. “That afternoon she went online and donated £100. Everywhere we went, people thanked us for talking openly about a disease which is usually taboo. It was very moving.”

The Fujifilm X-T30 is more compact and affordable than the X-T3, but it's just as powerful
By Marcus Wong & Ng Chong Seng - on 14 Mar 2019, 2:00pm
Page 1 of 1 - Fujifilm’s new X-T30 camera is both versatile and powerful
Fujifilm’s new X-T30 camera is both versatile and powerful
Fujifilm has just announced that its X-T30 digital camera will be released on March 20, 2019.
As with the X-T20 before it, the X-T30 will sport the latest image sensor and processor in Fujifilm’s lineup, which at the moment is the 26.1MP 4th Generation X-Trans CMOS 4 image sensor and X Processor 4 image processor pair we first experienced on the still-quite-new X-T3. This combination allows the camera to have a lowest native ISO sensitivity of 160, and a new AF system with 2.16 million phase detection points covering the entire frame. The low limit for the phase detection AF system has also been greatly expanded from +0.5EV to -3EV, which means you can now get accurate autofocus in dimmer lighting.
Like the X-T3, the X-T30 allows you to activate Sports Viewfinder mode, which shoots pictures within a cropped area representing about 16.6MP marked within the viewfinder. The X-T30 also does high-speed continuous shooting at up to 30fps using the electronic shutter (1.25x crop). At 8fps in full-res, the camera can sustain 18 RAW or 90 JPEG frames.
Also new is a Face Select function that lets you set priority on a particular person’s face so focus stays on him or her even if there are multiple faces in the frame. For beginners looking for a point-and-shoot experience, there's an Advanced SR Auto mode that promises intelligent, fully-automatic shooting.
The X-T30 gains more advanced video functions, too. The camera will actually record in 6K (6,240 x 3,510), then downsamples to 4K UHD resolution to maintain a high quality footage. It also supports the DCI 4K format (17:9 ratio) for users striving for a more cinematic look.
Eye tracking works in video mode as well, so you don't need to worry about keeping faces in focus. Like the X-T3, the X-T30 allows you to apply Fujifilm’s Film Simulation modes while recording video, so you can easily get the look you want without extensive grading in post. 4K/30p video can be recorded at 4:2:0 8-bit to the SD card, and F-Log recording is also supported. 4:2:2 10-bit output is possible via the HDMI port. The X-T30 also has a 3-inch, 2-way tilting LCD monitor and a single SD card slot. Unlike the X-T3 though, the X-T30 doesn't sport a weather-sealed body.
Finally, the X-T30 is available in three colors: the standard black and silver, and a new "charcoal silver". The new colorway is expected to arrive later in May.
(On a related note, Fujifilm has told us that many of the X-T30's advancements will be coming to the X-T3 via a firmware update sometime in April. Firmware version 3.0.0 for the X-T3 will improve the camera's face and eye-tracking performance, enable Face Select using the touch panel or AF lever, and allow for more seamless phase detection AF when working with long distances.)
And here's the recommended retail prices for the X-T30 camera (and lens kits):
X-T30 body: S$1,399
X-T30 + XC15-45mm: S$1,549
X-T30 + XF18-55mm: S$1,999

Jacinta calls for calm in face of nephew’s death
Alice Springs residents held a protest outside the town's police station on Sunday after the fatal shooting of 19-year-old Kumanjayi Walker in Yuendumu on Saturday evening. Picture: EMMA MURRAY
by GARY SHIPWAY, gary.shipway@news.com.au
15th Nov 2019 9:01 AM
INDIGENOUS Alice Springs councillor Jacinta Price has told of the heartache of losing her nephew in a tragic shooting in Yuendumu, but has been scathing of protesters, who she says were jumping on a bandwagon and using the death for their own political means.
Kumanjayi Walker was shot by police about 7.15pm on Saturday and died a few hours later but the family was not told about his death until the next day.
Due to the closure of the health clinic because of attacks on staff members he did not receive immediate medical attention outside of first aid.
Ms Price was with her mother Bess Price, a traditional woman from the Warlpiri tribe of Yuendumu 293km northwest of Alice Springs, at the protest in front of the Alice Springs police station, appealing for calm in the face of the hostile protest.
Jacinta Price said her family have had a public meeting with police at Yuendumu with family members expressed their sadness and anger. Picture Gary Ramage
Writing on Facebook Ms Price said: "In these sad times we want peace in our communities as we seek justice."
She also revealed a relative of the dead teenager is a police officer at Yuendumu.
"My cousin, who is the uncle of our deceased nephew, is to be commended for his handling of these circumstances as a police officer at Yuendumu," she wrote.
"He is working tirelessly with family to support them as best as he can throughout the investigation and while family seek answers."

Ms Price said her family have had a public meeting with police at Yuendumu.
"Their meeting was respectfully conducted even as members of my family openly expressed their sadness and anger," she said.
"We are all of the understanding that an investigation is currently underway and family will be working with Police to put the pieces of this situation together."
Earlier the same day a clearly distressed Ms Price live streamed scenes from the angry protest opposite the Alice Springs police station.
She told protesters to "leave this situation" and to go away.
"You're not going to be at his funeral … go and let our family deal with this," she told protesters.
"It's not your family and you've got no shame.
"Go away and let Aboriginal people deal with it instead of you mob interfering.
"You are the ones yelling and causing division in our communities. You're the ones yelling at us and we're standing here grieving. It's our family not yours.
"You mob are only interested in jumping up and down and creating a circus."
Staring down a screaming protester Ms Price stood firm.
"It's our family and we would like to deal with it our way … it was our Warlpri family member who was killed," she said.
"This is what happens when protesters get hold of a situation that doesn't even belong to them.
"We're a grieving family and there is no respect being shown for the fact that we would like to get to the bottom of this situation without division in our community being created.
"I'm sick of protesters in my community. I'm sick of protesters using aboriginal and our circumstances for their own political means.
"This is all they are good for standing out in front of places shouting, but what are they doing?
"It's my nephew that we will be burying in a couple of days."

10 Quotes About Christ For Christmas: Ready Your Heart For The Season
Story Behind Willie Nelson’s Christmas Song ‘Pretty Paper’
By Mel Johnson on December 16, 2016
christmas • inspirational
Well-known singer-songwriter Willie Nelson wrote a Christmas song that has become a classic which many other artists have covered. The Blaze reveals the moving story behind Willie Nelson’s Christmas song ‘Pretty Paper’.
The refrain of "Pretty Paper" says:
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
Wrap your presents to your darling from you
Pretty pencils to write I love you
The backstory to this song is very moving. The Dallas News reports that in the 1960’s Nelson was walking around the streets of downtown Fort Worth, Texas when he saw a disabled street vendor hawking his wares of colorful papers, pencils, and ribbons.
"Pretty papers!" the man called out. "Pretty ribbons!"
RELATED: 92-year-old wrote a song for Willie Nelson and she’s hearing it for the first time
Nelson was struck by the sad scene of the vendor, whose legs were amputated above the knees, calling out his wares to no avail. The song continues:
Crowded street, busy feet, hustle by him
Downtown shoppers, Christmas is nigh
There he sits all alone on the sidewalk
Hoping that you won’t pass him by
The scene inspired him to write the popular Christmas song, but now Nelson is again using this experience as inspiration for a creative project.
Listen to Willie Nelson’s Christmas song ‘Pretty Paper’ below:
Nelson is working on a novel titled Pretty Paper which provides further background to the story of the disabled street vendor. The novel also includes Nelson's own story of being a struggling musician in the 1960's in Fort Worth.
The novel was recently released in time for Christmas.

Retro refrigerator "Made by Champions" donated
At today's press conference held at the Velenje Gallery which has hosted the "Gorenje with a Vision" exhibition since the start of this summer, the handball club Gorenje Velenje presented the expectations and goals for the new season of the national championship which starts tomorrow. Targets and expectations were also discussed by the team's new members Darko Cingesar, Mitja Nosan, and Luka Dobelšek. They wrapped up the conference by donating a Gorenje retro refrigerator "Made by Champions" which was manufactured with the help of the handball players.
This year's kick-off press conference of the Gorenje Velenje handball club started and ended on a different note as usual – if nothing else, because it was set at the Velenje Gallery. Members of the press, handball players, and club management first took a tour of the exhibition "Gorenje with a Vision", a joint effort by the institute Maribor ECOC 2012, Velenje Gallery, and Gorenje, and a part of the network project "Wow, industry". The exhibition presents the creativity of Gorenje's manufacturing through time, manifest in direct visual communication between the consumers and the industrial design, marketing communication, and visual identity of the company. Presentation of expectations and goals for the new season was concluded by donation of a Gorenje Retro refrigerator "Made by Champions" which was manufactured in May this year with the help of the handball players after they had won the national championship title, during their tour of the Velenje shop floor.
The club's general manager Tomaž Juršič, coach Branko Tamše, team captain Marko Bezjak, and all newly signed players Darko Cingesar, Mitja Nosan, and Luka Dobelšek, said that their goal was to stay where they left off last year, i.e. to defend the title of the national champion. Coach Branko Tamše also explained that »the title is harder to defend than to chase, as every game is a chapter unto itself. One can get burned easily, and we do not want such burns.« Their goals this year include a high ranking in the Champions League.
Luka Dobelšek, returning to the team after four years, commented: »I am back where I have seen my best years of competition. I have not yet won a national championship title with Gorenje and I am excited about the prospects to do so this year.«

Vinh Hoan USA, Inc. Recalls Siluriformes Fish Products Due To Failure To Comply With FSIS Import Requirements
Class I Recall 079-2017
Health Risk: High Jun 28, 2017

WASHINGTON, June 28, 2017–Vinh Hoan USA, Inc., a Tustin, Calif. firm, is recalling approximately 84,000 pounds of imported frozen Swai fillet products that were distributed into U.S. commerce without meeting federal requirements, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today.
The frozen Swai fillets were produced on various dates between Dec. 16, 2016 and Jan. 7, 2017. The following products are subject to recall: [View Labels (PDF Only)]
15-lb. cases containing “MEKONG MASTER Frozen Swai Fillet,” with lot code VN 147 VI 1355 and “BEST BEFORE” dates of “12162018,” “12172018” and “12192018."
15-lb. cases containing “MEKONG MASTER Frozen Swai Fillet,” with lot code VN 147 VI 1351 and “BEST BEFORE” dates of “12232018,” “12242018” and “12252018.”
The products subject to recall do not bear the USDA mark of inspection. These items were shipped to wholesale locations in Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri and Wisconsin.
The problem was discovered when the import establishment notified FSIS personnel of Swai products entering U.S. commerce without meeting FSIS regulatory requirements for imported Siluriformes. The products were imported from Vietnam and failed to comply with FSIS requirements concerning residue sampling and testing prior to entry into U.S. commerce.
There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about a reaction should contact a healthcare provider.
Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them. These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.
FSIS routinely conducts recall effectiveness checks to verify recalling firms notify their customers of the recall and that steps are taken to make certain that the product is no longer available to consumers. When available, the retail distribution list(s) will be posted on the FSIS website at www.fsis.usda.gov/recalls.
Consumers and members of the media with questions about the recall can contact Max Basch, Vice President of Sales, Vinh Hoan USA, Inc., at (714) 573-3458.
Consumers with food safety questions can "Ask Karen," the FSIS virtual representative available 24 hours a day at AskKaren.gov or via smartphone at m.askkaren.gov.

Volunteer for GAIA
A society which respects animal life contributes to a respect for the weak and vulnerable in general. Our campaigns, rigorously documented and backed up with facts, aim to gradually reduce violence and cruelty against animals. Here is an overview.
Fur farming
GAIA works to stop fur farming in Belgium, and acts as a member of the Fur Free Alliance to fight the fur industry elsewhere in the world.
Each year throughout the world fur production is responsible for the suffering and death of tens of millions of foxes, mink, chinchillas, raccoons, beavers and other animals. They are raised in cages and then gassed, anally electrocuted, drowned, beaten, or killed by other means in order to make coats, collars and other accessories.
Boycott-cot
The restricted space and environmental impoverishment in traditional battery cages deprive hens of their natural behaviour, provoke frustration and consequently numerous behavioural abnormalities.
GAIA asks consumers, supermarkets and food brands to encourage farmers to invest in farming systems without cages, by choosing to source their eggs from alternative systems (free-range or on the ground). These choices will determine the future for 5 million chickens each year for the next decade.
Battery cage rabbits
The intensive farming of rabbits in battery cages poses serious animal welfare questions. Few of us may imagine countless rabbits rotting in battery cages like those for laying hens. Yet, most rabbits are raised in such establishments – 500, 000 rabbits each year in Belgium alone. High mortality rates characterise the industry: more than 25% of rabbits die before slaughter.
GAIA calls for a ban on rabbit battery farming. Alternatives such as enriched cage systems allow rabbits to live in an improved, more stimulating environment, less uncomfortable and more suited to their basic needs.
Stemming the tide of cats
When it comes to cats, 1 + 1 = 6, and sometimes more than twice a year. "Letting nature take its course" often simply amounts to 36 cats in the space of 16 months ... and their subsequent death.
Overcrowded shelters can no longer cope with the influx of abandoned and found cats. Each year, more than 10,000 cats are euthanised owing to lack of space. Furthermore, these tragic statistics do not take into account all the unwanted animals, which are coldly disposed of in private, in numerous households.
GAIA calls for a legal framework and appropriate legislation to make the sterilisation of cats (feral and domestic) systematic in order to drastically reduce the number of cats killed, abandoned or euthanised.
The horse on your plate
Primarily destined for export, mainly to Europe, the meat from South American horses is served up to Belgian consumers. Belgium plays a major role in the importation and consumption of horse meat from the American continent.
GAIA asks supermarkets to fully take their responsibility for this trade: they must stop selling horse meat from countries where the traceability and welfare of animals cannot be guaranteed. We also encourage consumers to say no to horse meat, especially from third countries.
Force feeding for foie gras
Belgium is one of the few European countries producing foie gras. Tens of thousands of ducks are force-fed every year in our country. In France (the world’s number one producer), almost 40 million birds are force-fed annually, mostly ducks but also geese.
GAIA calls for a ban on force-feeding ducks in Belgium, and encourages consumers to give up the habit of consuming foie gras during the holiday season.
Slaughter without stunning
Each day hundreds of animals are slaughtered without prior stunning day in Belgian slaughterhouses. More than 40,000 sheep suffer the same fate every year on the occasion of the religious festival of Sacrifice.
Not surprisingly, cutting an animal’s throat without prior stunning causes severe and prolonged suffering, which in some cases lasts up to 14 minutes before the animal dies. These facts fly in the face of the legal obligation to prevent "any avoidable pain or suffering" at the time of killing.
GAIA calls on political leaders to put an end to the exception in the law which states that any animal to be slaughtered must be stunned beforehand unless a religious rite is invoked.
Pig breeding operations must consider the basic needs of their animals. In particular, GAIA urges prohibition of the surgical castration of piglets. Fattening pigs and sows should also have more room to move. They need to be able to forage and to lie down without discomfort.
This harsh reality concerns the vast majority of the 11 million pigs raised each year in Belgium, and the 600,000 breeding sows.
Respect for the urban pigeon
Despite its uselessness and violence, the most common means of controlling pigeon populations in cities and towns remains the capture and slaughter of pigeons.
In contrast, contraceptive pigeon lofts are an ethical and effective alternative to control the large number of urban pigeons. GAIA encourages cities and towns to stop catching and killing pigeons and to implement pigeon contraceptive lofts instead.
Each year in Belgium alone, more than 600,000 animals are used in scientific laboratories. They are subjected to all kinds of tests: toxicity, basic research, etc. The researchers defend these tests, claiming that animal experimentation is still necessary. But is it really?
GAIA demands a truly ambitious policy in favour of alternative methods to animal experimentation, which would spare countless thousands of animals a lifetime of suffering in the name of science.

Sony Open to press on in spite of weather threat
By Allyson Blair | January 10, 2020 at 9:38 PM HST - Updated January 11 at 10:45 AM
HONOLULU, Hawaii (HawaiiNewsNow) - Despite the thunderstorm chances and flood watches, organizers of the Sony Open say they're going into the weekend full steam ahead.
While golfers work the greens -- Wade Stettner is close by.
“Just basically monitoring the radar across the islands,” he said.
As the tour’s personal meteorologist, it’s his job to warn everyone what’s coming.
“Especially if there’s any downpours. Or any threats of lightning. I’ll let them know ahead of time,” said Stettner.
On the course, Friday’s windy and often wet conditions tested the most skilled players, and kept crowds sparse.
“It’s a bummer,” said Jeri Yamada. “Because all of these people are local. We want to make money.”
At concession stands, Yamada estimates business is down by half compared to previous years.
But says she’s holding out hope fans are willing to brave the rain this weekend.
People we talked to who showed up today weren’t disappointed.
“It was awesome,” said Gary Hiram. “I’m amazed that the pros can still play in the inclement weather.”
Their advice for tomorrow:
“I would say come prepared,” said Hiram.
Stettner said, “I would definitely say bring a rain jacket. Actually by this weekend umbrellas will be fine because it’s not going to be quite as windy.”

Kidney Failure Can Complicate Long-Term Outcomes in Children Receiving Solid-Organ Transplants
Rebecca Ruebner, MD
Children who undergo transplants of solid organs have a high risk of developing advanced kidney disease, according to a new national study. Among these children, the highest risk is in those receiving lung or intestinal transplants, followed by heart and then liver transplants. The researchers say their findings reinforce the importance of continued screening of kidney function in pediatric transplant recipients.
Kidney disease risk factors different for children who receive solid-organ transplants
“We found that the risk patterns for kidney disease are different among patients who receive solid-organ transplants as children, compared to adult transplant recipients,” said pediatric nephrologist Rebecca L. Ruebner, MD, of The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. “Because chronic and end-stage kidney disease carry high burdens of mortality and serious illness, it is important to take preventive measures to slow or prevent disease progression.”
Ruebner is the first author of a study published online today in Pediatrics. The senior author is Susan L. Furth, MD, PhD, chief of Nephrology at Children’s Hospital.
Study identifies risk of advanced kidney disease among pediatric solid-organ recipients over two decades
Using data from the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients, the study team analyzed records of 16,600 pediatric patients who received solid-organ transplants (liver, heart, lung, intestine, and heart-lung) from 1990 to 2010 across the U.S. This was the first pediatric study to compare the relative incidence of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) by type of organ transplant. It was also the first analysis to identify the risk of advanced kidney disease among pediatric solid-organ recipients over a 20-year period.
In this two-decade national cohort, the researchers found that ESKD occurred in 3 percent of pediatric solid-organ recipients, with the highest risk of ESKD among those who received lung transplants or intestinal transplants. Patients who received liver transplants as children had the lowest rate of ESKD.
In contrast, adult liver transplant recipients are known to have the highest risk of ESKD and adult lung transplant recipients have lower risks of ESKD. For both children and adults, intestinal transplantation carries higher risks of ESKD.
“Although the overall incidence of end-stage kidney disease was only 3 percent, the broader burden of chronic kidney disease is much higher in this population of pediatric transplant recipients,” said Ruebner. “Children with chronic kidney disease experience a steady decline in kidney function, so we recommend that pediatric healthcare providers carefully follow post-transplant patients to detect any early signs of kidney problems, with early referral, if necessary, to a pediatric nephrologist.”
The National Institutes of Health supported this research (grants DK078737, DK066174, DK078688-01, DK093556). Other support came from the National Kidney Foundation/Amgen KDOQI Research Fellowship and the Nephcure Foundation–American Society of Nephrology Research Grant.
In addition to Ruebner and Furth, other co-authors were Michelle R. Denburg, MD, MSCE, of Children’s Hospital; and Peter P. Reese, MD, MSCE, and Peter L. Abt, MD, both of the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania.
“End-Stage Kidney Disease after Pediatric Non-Renal Solid Organ Transplantation,” Pediatrics, published online Oct. 14, 2013, to appear in Nov. 2013 print issue.

It's a Gold for Calm Harm at the DBA Design Effectiveness Awards!
Last night, some of team HMA headed to the big smoke to attend the DBA Design Effectiveness Awards at the Royal Horticultural Hall. We found out back in March that Calm Harm – the app we created with mental health charity stem4 to help teenagers resist or manage the urge to self-harm – had been shortlisted for an award. On the night, we would find out if that award was of the Bronze, Silver or Gold variety… And we were ecstatic to find out that it was a Gold!
Photographs courtesy of Oleg at Event Photographer London.
The DBA Design Effectiveness Awards are not about the design itself but about the difference the design makes, and the design of the Calm Harm app has been instrumental in the results achieved. Whilst it has been designed for a clear, focussed target audience, the ability for the user to personalise the experience ensures that it also has a wider appeal and can support those with self-harm urges across a large demographic. It has been downloaded over 930,000 times worldwide and is featured on the NHS App Library, with an efficacy rating of 93% which is attributed to a high percentage of users reporting a reduction in the urge to self-harm after completing an exercise. Find out more about the co-creation process we went through with Calm Harm here.
Out of all 59 award winners, 8 of those were awarded Gold. Other Gold winners included fantastic design projects for Quorn and Anglian Water. You can find a full list of winners here and highlights from the night here.
HMA is taking part in the GiG Malta Half Marathon to raise money for stem4!

Hello LosLunas
ACLU says US will miss deadline to reunite migrant families
National and Regional
ACLU says...
SAN DIEGO (AP) – The American Civil Liberties Union said it appears the Trump administration will miss Tuesday's court-ordered deadline to reunite scores of young migrant children with their parents.
The ACLU said late Sunday that the administration provided it with a list of 102 children under 5 and that it "appears likely that less than half will be reunited" by the deadline.
The Justice Department asked U.S. District Judge Dana Sabraw for more time last week, but the judge on Friday did not grant a blanket extension, saying only that he would consider certain exceptions.
He told the two sides to discuss possible exceptions and report back to him on Monday.
More than 2,000 children in all were forcibly separated from their parents at the Mexican border this spring under the Trump administration's zero-tolerance policy on illegally entering the country. While parents were prosecuted, children were placed in the custody of the Health and Human Services Department.
President Donald Trump reversed course on June 20 amid an international outcry and said families should remain together.
On June 26, Sabraw set deadlines of Tuesday to reunite children under 5 with their families and July 26 for older children. Sabraw, who was appointed by Republican President George W. Bush, wrote that the "situation has reached a crisis level" and that the "chaotic circumstances" were of the government's own making.
ACLU attorney Lee Gelernt said Monday that a judge can impose sanctions, usually fines, for failure to meet the deadline but that the organization is not pressing for that at this time. He said the ACLU instead wants a detailed explanation of when all families will be reunited.
"At this point what we need is very specific, concrete steps," he said.
Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar said Thursday there were "under 3,000" children separated from their parents. Previously, he said 2,047.
"It's extremely disappointing that the Trump administration looks like it will fail to reunite even half the children under 5 with their parent," Gelernt said. "These kids have already suffered so much because of this policy, and every extra day apart just adds to that pain."

The group said the administration provided it with a list of 102 children under 5 years old who must be reunited by Tuesday under an order by U.S. District Judge Dana Sabraw in San Diego.

U.S. District Judge Dana Sabraw ordered the Justice Department to share a list of the 101 children by Saturday afternoon with the American Civil Liberties Union, which successfully sued the administration to force the young children and families to be reunited by Tuesday.

In an extract of his autobiography, Thinking Out Loud, obtained by The Sun, Rio explained that Rebecca had told her best friend Lisa that she didn't want him to be alone. "Rebecca told Lisa something in the final weeks of her life. Months later Lisa told me what it was . . . ," Rio wrote. "It kills me to think of Rio with a new partner, Lisa, you know it does. Of course it does. 'But you know what kills me even more? Thinking of him alone and lonely. If I don't make it, Lisa, I don't want Rio to be miserable. I want him to be happy'."
Rio said it was his wife Rebecca's wish for him to find love again
Rebecca passed away aged 34 in May 2015 after a battle with breast cancer. It was revealed that Rio was dating former TOWIE star Kate earlier this year and it appears things are becoming serious between the pair.
STORY: Rio Ferdinand and girlfriend Kate Wright do couple's workout
Earlier this month Kate, 26, revealed she was stepping out of the spotlight in order to focus on her relationship with Rio and his three children Lorenz, Tate and Tia. "I'm taking a step back from the public eye," Kate told The Sun. "I want to keep my life private as I lived my previous relationship on TOWIE. My priority right now is Rio and the family."
Decent day with the fam ❤️
A post shared by Rio Ferdinand (@rioferdy5) on Aug 19, 2017 at 2:18am PDT
Rio's girlfriend Kate Wright joined him on a family holiday in August
Rio opened up aboutlife as a single dad in a HELLO! magazine column earlier this year, saying: "We men are quite ignorant about women who stay at home and look after the family; we see that as not being a job. But it's a hard job. I always used to take my kids to school if I was there, but would wake up ten minutes before we had to go and they were already showered, fed and dressed; all I had to do was put them in the car and drive them there."

2012 Mitsubishi i Electric Car Owners Speak Up: Pros And Cons
Antony Ingram July 19, 2012 Comment Now!
There might not be many on U.S. roads--less than a thousand in total--but Mitsubishi's 'i' electric car is one of the few all-electric cars on sale at the moment, and has a small, dedicated band of owners only too happy to sing its praises.
Someone has to, that's for sure, as reviews for the little electric bubble haven't been overly positive.
But what do owners actually think of the car they use day-to-day? What would they keep, and what would they change?
We've scoured the owner forums to find a selection of the most common pros and cons for drivers of the 'i'.
The range doesn't seem to matter
One of the heaviest criticisms of the 'i' has been its low range. Some reviews have baulked at figures of under 60 miles in certain driving conditions.
While that's no doubt off-putting for some electric car fans and might be hindering sales, the inevitable truth is that if you can live with this sort of range, then it really isn't a problem. Wherever owners are charging, they're clearly finding the car's range suitable to meet their needs.
Sure, it's not the only car for many owners, but it covers their most frequent journeys just fine. And some owners are still getting over 70 miles just fine.
Positive vibes?
Some people might be a little self-conscious about driving the car about, but many owners seem to find that reactions vary between the positive and the indifferent--rarely anything truly negative.
That applies to both the looks and the electric propulsion. The looks do a good job of drawing people in, at which point they find out it's electric, and the questions start. Some are shocked by the limited range, others impressed by just how cheap it is to "fill" the car with electricity...
It's pretty energy-efficient...
The Mitsubishi 'i' may not have the greatest range of any EV currently on sale, but it still sits up at the top of the EPA's "fuel" efficiency list, on 112 miles per gallon equivalent. That's indicative of how little energy it takes to move a small, relatively lightweight car on narrow tires.
Some owners have even quantified this by measuring power draw and regeneration. In one thread on the MyiMiEV.com forum, users have measured the current at different points on the energy meter. One user, JoeS, took readings of 45A at the first third, 95A at the second, and 154A at the maximum.
2012 Mitsubishi i - First Drive, U.S.-spec MiEV
In regeneration, the maximum is 50A, but JoeS points out that in the extra-regeneration "B" mode on the gear selector, lifting off completely registered 104A--so the 'i's regeneration effect is quite strong, at two thirds of the power it can put out.
It also doesn't use much energy when rolling--another user, Wee John, recorded only 70 amps of current at 77 mph. So as with any car, it's the acceleration (and up-hill roads) that really uses the energy, while constant travel on flat ground can be quite efficient.
In fact, the car uses so little energy at around 20mph on flat ground, you could theoretically drive around 500 miles!
Many are buying off the lot, for a discount
It's not the same for all owners, but there seems to be a theme that 'i' buyers are ordering cars, getting bored of waiting for delivery, and then buying cars off the dealer lot.
In many cases, this isn't much of a problem anyway, as slow sales means some dealers are struggling to shift the cars--and plenty of buyers are getting hold of the car for $1,000 (or more) under MSRP.
Few call it the 'i'!
We all know it, even if few of us admit it: 'i' is a stupid name for a car. It gets lost in lines of text, it sends computer grammar-checkers crazy, and it even sounds odd when dropped into a spoken sentence.
'i-MiEV' (pronounced eye-meev) isn't much better, but it's easier to say, more distinctive when written and above all, it's what many of the owners seem to call it--regardless of their locale.
It's difficult getting cars...
For those near a dealer that sells the i(...MiEV), it's great getting those discounted cars. But for some, like those in some midwest states, there's no such thing as a nearby dealer. With the best will in the world, it's hard to go out and buy a car that you have to travel hundreds of miles to even test drive.
Generally positive
As you can see, from an owner's perspective there's not a great deal to dislike. i-MiEV owners, as with many other electric car owners, seem to be fairly educated on their purchase and the Mitsubishi is meeting their expectations.
Do you own, or regularly drive a 2012 Mitsubishi 'i', or are you interested in owning one? Let us know your thoughts below.

As 2018 Nissan Leaf arrives, data on US electric-car market offers reality check
John Voelcker September 5, 2017 Comment Now!
This evening, the 2018 Nissan Leaf electric car will make its long-awaited debut at events in Tokyo, Las Vegas, and elsewhere around the world.
The Leaf remains the world's highest-volume electric car, with more than 280,000 of the first-generation cars delivered since December 2011 (112,000 of those in the U.S.).
That number, however, is considerably lower than the rosy forecasts issued by Nissan's then-CEO Carlos Ghosn before the car was introduced.
DON'T MISS: 2018 Nissan Leaf teaser: electric car will 'amaze your senses'
The Leaf, in fact, points to the many deep challenges facing all automakers as they move more aggressively into battery-electric vehicles.
Those range from consumer education to battery durability, and extend even into areas like the need for nationwide DC fast-charging networks.
So a set of statistics from Edmunds on the state of electric cars in the U.S. provides a good reality check on the eve of the Leaf launch.
Teaser for 2018 Nissan Leaf debuting in 2017
Battery-electric vehicles, those with only a battery to power them, remain at less than 1 percent of the U.S. new-car market.
They represented 0.1 percent back in 2012; so far this year, they make up 0.6 percent of all new vehicles purchased.
But when you add in both conventional and plug-in hybrids, the share has stayed constant: 3.5 percent in 2012, 3.3 percent so far in 2017.

That said, vehicles from one single manufacturer make up almost half the US market for electric cars from all makers.
That would be Tesla, whose Model S and Model X together represented 47.5 percent of the all-electric vehicles sold so far this year, according to Edmunds' data.
This year, the Chevrolet Bolt EV has displaced the Nissan Leaf as the third best-selling electric car; the 238-mile electric hatchback had its best-ever month in August, while the 107-mile Leaf dropped to fourth place.
Teaser for 2018 Nissan Leaf debuting on September 6, 2017
Tesla is located in California, which has led the U.S. for half a century—and sometimes the world—in reducing vehicle emissions and improving energy efficiency.
That state's buyers may have crossed a tipping point of sorts, as the state's share of overall U.S. electric-car sales has actually risen.
Five years ago, Californians bought 41 percent of the all-electric cars sold in the U.S. The total number of such sales is far higher now, but now 56 percent of them are sold in California.

Finally, electric cars continue to be purchased largely by men, although the share of female buyers is rising slightly.
Three of four EV buyers were men five years ago; now that proportion has fallen to 71 percent.
As for the 2018 Nissan Leaf itself, Jessica Caldwell, Edmunds' executive director of industry analysis, believes it will benefit from this year's launch of the Tesla Model 3, as well as a longer-range BMW i3.

And, she suggests, debuting Nissan's ProPilot Assist in the Leaf will give it a tech-forward image that shows what technologies will appear in more mainstream cars in years to come.
"The new Nissan Leaf will continue to offer one of the least expensive and practical ways to own a pure electric car," adds senior editor Ed Hellwig.
While the new 2018 Leaf may not match the 238-mile range of the Chevy Bolt EV, "if the Leaf delivers even a mdoest bump over its current range, it will be enough to get the attention of most mainstream EV shoppers."
Hellwig adds that the new Leaf's less-polarizing design should be a plus in appealing to those more mainstream buyers.
The 2018 Leaf will be unveiled tonight at 9 pm Eastern / 6 pm Pacific time.

Ann Arbor Observer: Life After Sears
According to Ann Arbor Observer,
The Sears store at Briarwood quietly closed its doors late in 2018, the final chapter in the department store's seventy-eight-year history in Ann Arbor. In the final days, most shoppers were looking for bargains. Few lamented its closing.
Spenser Allaway of Green Street Advisors, a commercial real estate research and consulting firm, says that though a lot of malls get into trouble when Sears--and even worse, a second anchor store--closes, malls in areas with a healthy regional economy, high employment, good incomes, and a growing population will make it.
"A Class A mall, like Briarwood, it should do fine," says Allaway. "It's got solid demographics, and there's really no nearby competing malls. The key will be to find new tenants that meet the needs of its shoppers."
"More experiential retailers, such as restaurants and high-end movie theaters with reclining seats that serve beer, say from a local brewery--that could really work," says Saunders. Other possibilities, he says, include gyms, grocery stores, and even apartments.
Employees at Briarwood stores say they've heard rumors about a high-end movie theater as well as more restaurants and specialty stores. At Williams-Sonoma, workers mention other possibilities, including a megachurch. Others talk about a post office or maybe a Nordstrom. A few have other ideas too.

Election Update: Prop 23 Defeated; Industry Chimes In
The first time that a population has voted on climate change

Californians have voted "no" on Proposition 23. With about 11 percent of precincts reporting as of 10 p.m. Pacific Time, results show 59 percent of the state have said "no" to Prop 23 -- and to the wishes of oil companies like Valero and Tesoro.
Prop 23 would have suspended AB 32, The Global Warming Solutions Act of of 2006, California's landmark clean air legislation. AB 32 requires that greenhouse gas emission levels in the state be cut to 1990 levels by 2020, and is slated to begin in 2012.
Proposition 23, if enacted by voters, would have frozen the provisions of AB 32 until California's unemployment rate dropped to 5.5 percent or less for four consecutive quarters.
But AB 32 will survive.
And now we'll see if greentech can improve Califonia's 12.4 percent unemployment situation and help clear the air in a state in which a majority of residents live in a county with substandard air quality.
We've written extensively on this crucial California ballot initiative: Prop 23 Would Black Out Solar For SunRun, Arnold Lashes Out at Valero, Prop 23 Opponents, AB 32 Slap Fight From the California Gubernatorial Candidates and The National and Environmental Impact of California's Proposition 23, as well as Elvis Costello and Jackson Browne on Prop 23.
Sunil Paul, investor and activist, suggested that Prop 23 is the first time that a population has voted on climate change.
AB 32 could also help the United States compete with China and Europe, both of which are aggressively pursuing this growth market. In 2010, the greentech market was about $10 billion. By 2020, it will could grow to $80 billion.
In voting down Prop 23, Californians rejected the job-loss scare tactics and questionable arguments of Texas oil companies.
But all is not unicorns and rainbows in California greentech.
Prop 23's frontal assault on AB 32 has been defeated. But a stealthier attack on greentech progress and evidence of California voter's split personality has survived. Prop 26 looks to have passed -- and that proposition requires that certain fees charged by state and local governments be approved by a two-thirds majority of voters or lawmakers, just like taxes. It could protect polluters who might have had to pay fees for the cleanup of toxic sites.
And while we're reporting on California politics: Democrat Jerry Brown is leading Republican Meg Whitman and her $141 million out-of-pocket campaign. Democrat Senator Boxer was declared the winner over Republican challenger Carly Fiorina.
And no legalized and taxed marijuana in California -- Prop 19 was defeated.
The industry is somewhat elated. Here are some comments that have rolled in:
ESolar (solar thermal) CEO John Van Scoter:
"The growing number of green jobs is a testament to the power and momentum of the industry, and we at eSolar are pleased to see California voters support clean technology innovation. As California continues to lead the nation in energy policy and investment, concentrating solar thermal power will play a major role in the deployment of renewable energy, and eSolar looks forward to bringing our projects online."
OriginOil (algae) CEO Riggs Eckelberry:
"Clean technology is California's newest boom industry, akin to the aerospace and high-tech industries that literally built our modern state into the G-8-sized powerhouse that it is today…AB 32 maintains the market certainty needed for investment, research and development of inventions, as well as jobs. Since its passage, clean tech venture capital in California has skyrocketed. That’s something we need to reinforce, not cut back on."
REC Solar CEO Angiolo Laviziano:
“Today we stand at the epicenter of the clean energy economy, and we thank the voters of California for supporting the continued growth of a stable and sustainable business environment,” said Angiolo Laviziano, chief executive officer of REC Solar in San Luis Obispo. “Companies like ours have installed hundreds of megawatts of clean, powerful solar energy, with thousands more to come, and it’s only a fraction of activity driven by the nearly $10 billion in investment capital than has flowed into California’s green technology sector. We are excited to keep the momentum moving forward.”
Tioga Energy (renewable services) CEO Paul Detering:
Renewable energy development is crucial to the evolution and growth of California’s economy, and we’re pleased that voters supported that growth in striking down Prop 23…With Prop 23’s attempt at undercutting clean energy industries now behind us, California can build on its position as a world leader in clean energy. We at Tioga Energy are excited to be a part of that momentum.”
Vote Solar:
“There were a thousand and one reasons to oppose this harmful big-oil ballot measure. Prop 23 posed a serious threat to new economic opportunity, to green innovation, to public health, to our environment, to our ability to compete in the global marketplace,” said Rosalind Jackson of Vote Solar. “I’m proud that Californians of all political leanings found a reason to join together in defense of our landmark climate change law and the brighter future it entails.”
AWS Truepower
“The election outcome has ramifications for the nation, not just California, with the vote to keep AB 32 alive,” said Dr. Bruce Bailey, president and CEO of AWS Truepower. “The state’s most substantive environmental law, AB 32 is a much-needed pillar of confidence for clean energy and climate regulation with its powers of influence on federal policy direction. Beyond local job creation, the law extends a level of assurance across the U.S. that there will be demand for clean tech products and services.”
Sharp Solar
"Today, solar power in California won a big battle with the defeat of Proposition 23," said Eric Hafter, senior vice president, Sharp Solar Energy Solutions Group, a division of Sharp Electronics Corp. "This was an important step forward to a clean energy future and will certainly have a positive impact on the solar industry in California. Green technology is not only important for our environment but it also helps create jobs, improve our infrastructure, and reduce our dependence on fossil fuels. We at Sharp look forward to working with the State's new leadership to continue to advance solar energy sector and additional green initiatives that protect our natural resources."

IFRC embraces road safety at annual meeting
Home/News/Events/IFRC embraces road safety at annual meeting
This year, the annual General Assembly of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent National Societies was special to those working within the Global Road Safety Partnership. The 187 Red Cross and Red Crescent National Societies officially endorsed a common global agreement that recognized road safety as a man-made crisis with a humanitarian dimension. This alone was enough to draw smiles on the faces of the staff working with the 11-year old partnership, yet, those smiles only told half of the story. The potential effect of this agreement seemed to go beyond what many had expected.
“The results of the meetings this week are even better than we could have hoped for, and I honestly think could become a marker point in global road safety progress when we look back on it in a few years’ time,” commented Andrew Pearce, CEO of the Global Road Safety Partnership, in a letter addressed to his team.
Pearce thanked his staff, all Road Safety partners, members, and friends for this achievement.
“There is also recognition that there is a common global reference centre for road safety for the International Federation called the Global Road Safety Partnership. It did not happen by chance, it came because of the consistent teamwork and performance of the whole of our team, our staff, our partners, and members and the Red Cross Red Crescent National Societies with which we have been working,” he added
The General Assembly had brought together 187 national societies from around the world. They met between 22 and 25 November 2011, to discuss international priorities for the organization. Yet this year, road safety was an important item on the agenda driven higher by the commemoration of the Decade of Action for Road Safety.
“Road Safety is no longer a technical problem; it is not a transport problem; it is a community, man-made problem,” said Ibrahim Osman, deputy Secretary General of the Federation during the plenary session on Road Safety. “It is about prevention and reducing human suffering. This is a global problem, like Malaria. It is a service and not just an opportunity and it can become a success story for all of us in this world.”
The subject captured the attention of the different National Societies attending the workshop. Representatives of societies from Yemen, Vietnam, Iraq, Cambodia, Egypt, Namibia, Mexico, Ethiopia, Jamaica, Bangladesh, Ukraine, Poland, and others, including a high income country like Belgium all commended the need for a global framework addressing road safety and pledged to integrate Road Safety within their national plans.
“Road crashes take the lives of 1.3 million people every year, that is almost the same death toll as natural disasters, with the same consequences and injuries,” said a delegate of the Russian Red Cross. “This disaster should be confronted with vigorous legislations and engagement.”
Other societies echoed this spirit. “We already have a road safety strategy in place; we can share knowledge so that we build a road safety culture. I will try to build it in my society,” said a delegate from Portugal.
Everyone also agreed on the urgency of the problem. “It is not going to be reduced if we do not do something about it now,” said a Mexican delegate.
What these societies have been calling for found its way to the final IFRC report. The Federation acknowledged the relevance and importance of this issue by including it within its activities and following up with a series of recommendations. The federation approved the common framework for action as well as the pledge to road safety. It recommended supporting the proposal to submit “a joint commitment between National Societies and governments on road safety” to the International Conference. The Federation will have to report on the implementation of this commitment at the next General Assembly in 2013.
Since resolution 64/255 on road Safety was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly, this achievement seems to be another milestone in the history of GRSP.
“It is, of course, a milestone that needs following up with a lot of hard work,” said Pearce.

St. Louis Car Accident Injuries : Vocal Cord Paralysis
By Christopher Hoffmann on April 25, 2016
Vocal cord paralysis is a serious injury that is not very common and can take a long time to get diagnosed.
The most common car accident injuries are bone injuries, lacerations, back injuries, and internal organ injuries. Vocal cord paralysis is a serious injury that is not very common and can take a long time to get diagnosed.
How Does Vocal Cord Paralysis Happen?
There are two muscles called vocal cords in the larynx or the voice box. When these cords vibrate, the voice is produced. These cords also protect the trachea by covering it and making sure that food and liquid do not enter the windpipe into the lungs.
There are a number of reasons how vocal cord paralysis can take place. In a car accident, any trauma or injury to the neck or chest can result in damage to the vocal cords. When one or both of the vocal cords are not able to move to produce sound, the result is vocal cord paralysis.
Unilateral and Bilateral Paralysis
There are two types of vocal cord paralysis:
Unilateral – Unilateral vocal cord paralysis is the most common vocal cord paralysis and happens when only one of the vocal cords has limited movement or is paralyzed.
Bilateral – Bilateral vocal cord paralysis is when both the vocal cords are paralyzed and are halfway between open and closed.
Symptoms of Vocal Cord Paralysis
Vocal cord paralysis can be difficult to detect. A person suffering from vocal cord paralysis could suffer from the condition for weeks before diagnosis. The signs and symptoms of vocal cord paralysis include:
hoarseness or breathy voice
limitations in pitch and sound
choking while eating food
breathing issues
trouble while swallowing
Because many of these symptoms also appear when a person has a cold or respiratory infection, vocal cord paralysis can be difficult to diagnose. If choking occurs frequently, consult a doctor immediately as food and liquid could enter the lungs and lead to pneumonia.
Treatment for Vocal Cord Paralysis
Vocal cord paralysis is usually detected by using a laryngoscope or an endoscope through the mouth or nose.
Treatment of vocal cord paralysis depends upon its severity and cause. Mild cases are usually treated with medication and voice therapy with a speech-language pathologist. The pathologist may recommend certain exercises to improve breathing and strengthening of the cords. For cases that require surgery, a tracheotomy is performed to reposition the vocal cords, replace damaged nerves, insert structural implants of the affected cord, or inject fat or collagen in the affected cord.
St. Louis Car Wreck Attorney
Even with surgery, there is no guarantee a person will recover his or her original voice. Surgery and treatment can be traumatic, painful, and stressful. Vocal cord paralysis victims usually suffer a loss of earnings as well. Adequate financial compensation is required for a car accident victim to recover fully. If you have been harmed by a negligent driver, consult with a St. Louis car wreck attorney. Call The Hoffmann Law Firm, L.L.C. at (314) 361-4242 for a free consultation.

Yet Another 48 Hours
CHICAGO – Kumail Nanjiani is reaching the next level of stardom. Recently, he was the best thing in the rebooted “MIB: International” (as a cartoon sprite), and now he is the only reason to indulge in “Stuber.” Kumail portrays a nervy UBER driver named Stu (get it?), and upholds everything about the buddy movie that is enjoyable. The rest of it, including his buddy Dave Bautista, land with a dull thud.

CHICAGO – Character actor Jonah Hill has just scored behind the camera. As writer/director of a authentic look back at the “Mid90s” he went back to his inner source of growing up in that 1990s time, skateboarding with his buds and experiencing the teenage life. The story never blinks, as the teens are authentic and the situations they get in even more so.

Yet those simple lessons keep being broken up by the excess of more, the values of which are in the documentary “Generation Wealth.”

- Jo Tinsley
Travel and curiosity can often lead us to new places we'd like to call home. Jo Tinsley, editor of the Ernest Journal and namesake of our own Tinsley the Tote Pack, took some time during a photoshoot with us to muse over what it is to arrive at the unknown and grow your home.
Words by Jo Tinsley | Photography by Jim Marsden
Often, it can be tempting to focus on great adventures and journeys and not what it feels like when you actually reach a destination and settle for a while. I find that it takes time to connect to a new place, and to find meaning in the day-to-day. I moved to Brighton two and a half years ago, and it’s taken me about this long to put down roots. For me, it’s been about establishing routines and rituals: running along the seafront, swimming between the piers, combing the shingle for hagstones (pebbles with natural holes bored through them, said to bring luck), walking down to the beach on a Sunday evening to watch starlings swirl around the pier like smoke.
My work – as an author and travel writer, founder of Ernest Journal and editor of Waterfront, a magazine celebrating our connection with water for Canal & River Trust – easily becomes overwhelming. And so each weekend, I shake off the tension by spending time outdoors: exploring trails and Sussex curios, ticking off sections of the South Downs Way (a long distance path that threads along the spine of a chalk ridge), expanding the orbit around my new home a little further each week. Sometimes I go with friends, but often I’m on my own: recharging on nature, just me and my squeaky left hiking boot.
The geology of Sussex feels completely new to me. I grew up in the Pennines; I’m used to gritstone and granite, heather moorlands, reservoirs. Sussex is chalky: crumbling cliffs and dry valleys, flint strewn fields, figures etched into the slopes, and pale mud that clogs up my hiking boots. It even sounds dissimilar from anywhere I’ve ever lived: skylarks rising over downland; the rasp of waves on flint pebbles; the strange calls of lapwings.
To settle in with the landscape, I find myself returning to the same places, getting a feel for them in different weathers and seasons. I’ve walked and re-walked the meanders of the River Cuckmere countless times, watching geese grazing on the flats and stomping up to the rolling downs, which are topped with wind-bent trees. I’ve returned time and again to Hastings Old Town, picking up kiln-roasted salmon from the Rock-A-Nore smokehouse, wandering around the black wooden sheds used to store fishing gear, browsing through the thoughtfully-chosen books at Hare and Hawthorn, taking a ride on the East Hill Cliff Railway.
I’ve always had a fidgety energy and a million ideas. While long walks calm my racing mind and take the edge off the constant chatter, cold water presses the reset button. I swim in the sea, rivers and lidos to manage anxiety, a reoccurring challenge that, at its mildest, can make me feel floaty and not ‘in the room’, and at its worst pushes me towards panic attacks. Cold water snaps me back to reality and shakes off whatever’s occupying my mind. I’ve become addicted to this immersion; when you spend your days regulating your energy, it’s such a relief to relinquish yourself to the water.
Recently, I’ve moved into my own space: a little attic flat with views of the sea. I’ve filled it with plants and pictures that mean something to me: a framed nautical chart of the Discovery Islands in Canada, which I kayaked around for issue five of Ernest; paintings by local artists Eric Ravilious and Sybil Andrews; maps of places I desperately want to visit such as Lofoten in Norway, the Faroe Islands, Iceland’s Westfjords.
Right now, it’s the tail end of a long winter and I’m restless. The early part of my year teems with deadlines; the days are too short. It’s a time for nesting, setting intentions, staring at OS maps. Come late spring, I’ll start to stretch the working day: a 7am walk over the Downs to Saltdean Lido for a swim before heading to the studio; an evening amble to Lewes to do a few bracing lengths in the spring-fed Pells Pool. It’s these small steps – these simple rituals – that help bed me into a place, allow me to find some emotional stillness, and give me the energy to plan the next great adventure.

Control Line Airplanes
Think control line airplanes are mere toys on a string? You might want to re-think that... I mean really, do you have what it takes to hold on to a string with a hunk of metal screaming 200 mph at the other end?
Can you use your propeller to snip the streamer from your opponent's plane? How bout landing 0n a miniature Carrier-Deck like full scale fighters? Once you've seen these guys in action you'll definitely realize they're much more than a toy planes on a string!
Brief History of Control Line Planes
During the summer of 1940 a character by the name of Jim Walker busted onto the scene at the National Model Airplane meet in Chicago.
He whipped out his U-Control Fireball in the midst of this free flight event. This was the first time the crowd had seen an airplane with an internal combustion engine flying on the end of a string!
Jim patented his U-Control system and The American Junior Aircraft Company immediately began selling kits for the infamous A-J Fireball.
The advertisements claimed that the plane could be ready for flight in less than six hours. The Fireball was a huge success sparking the beginning of a new era of model aviation.
To the right is a full page ad from the 1940 September issue of Model Airplane News. This image was taken from American Junior Classics Website. By the way, thats an excellent website to visit if youre looking for a history lesson about model aviation. Jim was quite an extraordinary guy!
How do control line airplanes work?
The lines on a control line airplane serve two purposes. This first and obvious purpose is to confine the airplanes flight path to a radius or hemisphere around the pilot.
The second function is to control the movement of the control surfaces, more specifically the elevator.
Most control line systems have two lines which are connected to opposite sides of a control handle. When the pilot rotates his wrist, one line is retracted while the other is extended.
The lines are connected to a bell-crank which in turn controls the elevator via a push rod. A third line is often used to control the carburetor of the engine.
Fédération Aéronautique Internationale
The FAI holds international contests for all areas of aviation. Section F2 of the FAI defines the rules for international competition of control line airplanes.
The subdivisions of FAI F2 include F2A Speed, F2B Precision Aerobatics, F2C Team Racing, and F2D Combat..
Control Line Airplanes Built for Speed!
Can you ]imagine hanging on to the other end of the line attached to an airplane going over 200 mph?
Thats what happens when you get a hold of a FAI F2A control line model that is purely built for speed!
Most control line speed models are really weird looking contraptions that really dont much look like an airplane at all. They have one really long and narrow wing in order to minimize the drag of the control line itself.
Another way to reduce drag on control line airplanes is the use of only one control line instead of the conventional two lines. The control surface is manipulated by twisting this single line.
These type of speed models typically don't have any landing gear. They are attached to a frame with a set of wheels called a dolly for take off.
When the airplanes gains enough speed it lifts up off of the dolly. You can see a picture of a control line speed model on its dolly in the picture above taken from Australian Control Line Nostalgia.
During competition, the control handles are normally tethered to a stationary pole or pylon at the very center of the flying circle. This is to prevent the pilot from cheating by helping the model along by whipping their arm.
Stunt Competition F2B Aerobatics
Precision aerobatic or stunt competitions for control line airplanes is conducted in a similar manner as RC pattern competitions. Each pilot performs a set of maneuvers and their performance is scored by a set of judges.
3rd place 2006 USA F2B Team
Stunt control line airplanes tend to be fairly large with wingspans up reaching up to 5 feet. They can be powered an IC engine or electric motor.
Control line airplanes designed for aerobatic competition most always have a set of flaps that act in the opposite direction of the elevator. This gives the pilot much more authority over the pitch of the aircraft while performing the various maneuvers.
You'll also find that pilots tend to put an extraordinary amount of effort into to the covering and appearance of their stunt planes.
Since judging is sometimes subjective, they feel that a nice looking plane may help their flight scores. As you can see in AMA competition rules, a score is actually given for the appearance of the airplane!
Control Line Team Racing
F2C racing is a race from start to finish with the goal being to complete a set number of laps before the opponent. Its much like a NASCAR race with passing, pit stops and the whole nine yards!
It can get quite interesting with two pilots battling it out in the center circle lap after lap. Trying to maneuver their plane to victory while not stepping on one another or getting their lines tangled can be tricky!
When the fuel runs out it's amazing how quickly the pit crew guy can catch the plane, refuel it, start the engine, and make adjustments. They really do give the NASCAR guys a run for the money thats for sure.
There are several classes of control line racing. The Rat Race class is the fastest and can be very physically demanding. Then there is Slow Rat Race with profile type planes. The Mouse Race is for the small control line airplanes.
Theres even 1/2A Scale racing where the models have to be a profile type scale rendition of an actual Goodyear Racer or Formula I Racer.
F2D Control Line Combat
Control line combat is intense. Expect a lot of collisions with parts and pieces flying everywhere. The pilots are required to wear helmets if that tells you anything
.
A ribbon is attached to the back of each plane. The objective is to cut the ribbon off the opponents plane with the propeller of your plane. The plane who scores the most cuts wins the contest.
Most combat planes are flying wings with .25 size engines. They're built with very cheap foam or balsa wood for obvious reasons. It's not uncommon to bring a half dozen or more planes to a single contest!
Navy Carrier-Deck Competitions
In my opinion, this is the coolest of all the control line competitions. The idea came about by a bunch of Navy guys back in the 50s. Each plane is a miniature version of actual carrier aircraft and must land and take off from a miniature aircraft carrier with arrestor lines!
Not only must the airplane land and take off from the carrier, it must be able to fly both fast and slow. The pilot is first scored on how quickly the aircraft can complete the first 7 laps. Its all about speed!
The pilot will then signal the judges when he is ready to begin his 7 slow flight laps. The pilot utilizes flaps and throttle (additional control lines) to fly the plane as slowly as possible without the nose exceeding a 60 degree angle. The score for the low speed portion of the contest is determined by dividing the average high speed by the average low speed then multiplying by 10.
Then comes the fun part, landing on the carrier deck! The carrier deck is complete with a series of arrestor lines which are supported by sandbags. The aircraft much snag one of the arrestor lines with its arresting hook. Points are deducted if the landing is anything other than a perfect 3-point landing.

Closure Moves To JavaScript
Written by Alex Denham
Google's Closure compiler is now available in pure JavaScript, and no longer needs Java to run. The new experimental release runs under NodeJS with support for some popular build tools.
The Closure Compiler compiles JavaScript into compact, high-performance code. It removes dead code and rewrites and minimizes what's left so that it downloads and runs quickly. It also checks syntax, variable references, and types, and warns about common JavaScript pitfalls. Nearly every web front end at Google uses it.
The new version supports new features in ES2015, such as let, const, arrow functions. The compiler also checks syntax, correct use of types, and provides warnings of potential problems.
Writing about the new release on the Google Developer blog, Google's Sam Thorogood said that this isn't a rewrite of Closure in JavaScript, adding:
"Instead, we compile the Java source to JS to run under Node, or even inside a plain old browser."
The JavaScript version is currently experimental, and may not perform in the same way as the native Java version. The Closure team will be working to improve and support it over time.
In order to use the new version, you'll need to add it as a dependency in a project via NPM. Alternatively, you can use it with the Gulp streaming build system. This would involve using gulp.src() or equivalents to load your JavaScript before it can be compiled, according to Thorogood, who said that as the compiler runs in pure JavaScript, it can't load or save files from your file system directly.

1. Teams are responsible for marking out pitches.
2. Teams are required to ensure the changing rooms are left in a clean and tidy condition.
3. The cleaning deposits must be paid at the beginning of each season, or before a one-off booking. If the changing rooms are left untidy the cost of any contractor cleaning required in addition to the weekly cleaning effected by the Hound Parish Council cleaning staff, will be deducted from the cleaning deposit and teams will be unable to use the facilities until the difference has been paid.
4. Teams are to provide fixtures a minimum of 1 month in advance. If teams require to train on the field, the parish office must be advised.
5. Failure to advise the parish office of using the pitch for training or for a game outside of the agreed usage dates, may result in the withdrawal of agreement for the use of the pitch.

War on Calculators
Howard Owen
This article bashes TI, but it's really about relegating handheld graphing calculators to the scrap heap of history. The author asks why expensive calculators are the standard in schools when there are free or nearly free alternatives. One company providing educationally focussed apps is highlighted, indeed promoted, Desmos. This company has apparently been making some headway getting their app accepted on a trial basis for a Texas standardized test. The app is available for free on Android and iOS and looks to be a capable grapher.
I know the discussion of mobile apps vs real calculators has been a perennial here. What do you think about the article and app?
Refer to the other thread

RE: War on Calculators
Excellent article. I'm in favor of the $20 scientific calculator in the hands of students.
I wonder about smartphone apps, iPads, etc in the classroom since this could make cheating so much easier.

Think your high school age kid is learning math? Ha! They're really learning operation of a TI-83/84 calculator from a TI-84 calculator instructor, who conveniently has all the necessary TI-84-based teaching materials to hand. This is all good, because your child will need to be well-prepared with TI-84 skills when exam time comes.
What if you aren't thrilled with the 84? Well, when you think about it, a parent giving a child an NSpire in this situation is making poor choices (tried that). (A Prime, of course, would mean that it is time to call Social Services.) On the other hand, would you prefer that your child be taught math, in a calculator-agnostic way? Well, someone in the education business is going to need new qualifications. And, frankly, nobody wants that. Unless, of course, parents start looking at the logic of a free app vs. a $100+ calculator.

I have seen the future & its name is Desmos (or something similar).

I would prefer to see kids using calculators in class than using mobile phone applications (kicking and screaming, futilely, against that abbreviation "app" !!!) because of the potential distractions of the phone. Plus, there is something satisfying about a key click! But calculators are for people who understand how to do math already. Just like spelling checkers are for people who CAN spell, not for those who cannot -- relying on technology rather than one's brain is a bit of a cop-out. As far as when to introduce them -- four-bangers only until the principles of +-*/ have been mastered. Scientific -- when understanding of trig etc. is solid. Now -- if any of these TI machines, or bless their hearts, Casio, Sharp, dare we hope, HP, can be set so that only specific functions can be used until the student has "passed" a standard, that would be one way of introducing the technology at an appropriate time. Let's face it, one would not be allowed to use more advanced apparatus in a laboratory, say, for instance, a nuclear magnetic resonance spectrophotometer, without knowing how to prepare a sample, what the scan would deliver, and how to interpret a spectrum. So -- do the same for calculators!
David Hayden
There are some serious practical concerns. First, remember that that "free" app requires a cell phone that costs $50/month. What if some kids can't afford it? Now I realize that nearly everyone older than 11 has a smartphone today, but still.
Second, most schools forbid the use of cell phones by students. They are simply too distracting. So the alternative is what? Tablets in the classroom? Now the "free" app requires the district to buy a tablet. And a charging station. And train the tech people to support them.
Third, in a classroom environment, it's absolutely 100% essential that the tools work every time for every student. In a 40 or 50 minute class, the teacher can't afford to spend even 5 minutes with the kid whose app took a crap, or whose tablet ran out of power, or has a cracked screen because the last kid sat on it.
So it's true that an app is a whole lot better than a calculator but the infratructure needed for it not trivial. We will definitely get there soon though.
To me, the article looked like an ad for Desmos. Maybe the "special advertisement" disclaimer got truncated from the online version

A cell phone does not cost $50 a month. You can buy a low-end phone (or a used flagship from a few years ago) for well under $100 and then never activate it with cellular service. There's no monthly fee if you just want to use it on wifi. You can even make calls with services like Google Hangouts.
For example, I do this with my Galaxy S2. It works great as a web camera, and simpler apps run just fine on it, despite it being over 4 years old.

I keep a no-contract, never registered AT&T Go Phone in my car as a backup. The Alcatel One. It was only $20 (on sale), runs Android has standalone GPS, even an FM radio! I can use it immediately for 911 calls and can register it by calling 611 with a credit card. Running Free42 on it makes it into an awesome calculator for the price. Downloading maps in advanced gives me a full function mapping GPS with no need for any connectivity.
Before I came across the Alcatel I had another $20 (on sale) Windows Lumia 520 phone that did all the above too, but the calculator emulation choices were slim as were all the other apps.
It's totally amazing what $20 can buy.

The TI-84 line has essentially remained stagnant at the technological level for about 3 decades and has still not come down in price. If graphing calculators today were to cost $30 dollars, I don't think anyone would care if they were being used in the classroom as that is relatively cheap.

GraphNCalc83 for the iPhone and iPad is a great alternative to the TI graphing calculators. It is a reimagining of the TI style calculator with a touch interface. Pinch to zoom, swipe to scroll and tap to trace. All with a fluid real time display- it fully leverages the 64 bit maths, large memory and speedy Arm processors in the iDevices. Don't want to pay for a phone? It runs on iPod Touch and iPad too.

I walked through the back-to-school isle at my local Target last weekend, and there was a wall of TI calculators. I even bought an 84+CE to play with because it was 30% (or so) off.
But it's pretty disgusting that there wasn't a single HP calculator there. There were a few Casios. HP seems to have done spectacularly well at losing in the market to competitors, on many fronts.
---James, who still uses his HP-55 and -16C regularly
At least a separate graphing calculator can't be used to text or otherwise communicate in an irrelevant manner like a smartphone can (can it?)
But as for TI -- I acquired a TI-89 Titanium model just to play with it and found it a real struggle. Having grown up learning that to calculate the sin of 29 degrees one could press the number 29 and then hit the sin key, and get an answer immediately, the TI system was dreadful. One has to spell it out as Sin(29) and then hit Enter. Not Efficient. Long live HP!
The Ti-89 certainly can seem awkward (because it is), but the trig functions are a second shift function (still not the most efficient either) and you do not have to spell our SIN unless you really want to do things the hardest way.
I used to be down on the Ti-89, but I have seen an expert 89 user show me how efficient he was with his 89. So despite Mike Morrow's comments and others here, I was forced to acknowledge it was a decent calculator. No, it is not superior nor even equal to an Hp 50G, but most people do not really use their high end calculators for high end calculating.
In addition, if you do not learn RPN, the Hp 50G's algebraic mode isn't any better than using a Ti-89 aside from the trig functions are not second functions buried under a menu, and a more readable screen.
07-26-2016, 04:07 PM (This post was last modified: 07-26-2016 04:39 PM by Toby.)
Having recently emerged from the secondary education system in the UK, I thought I might give a perspective on the use of calculators in classrooms as I have experienced them.
In the UK (apart from Scotland, which I think has broadly similar qualifications of different names), all people take qualifications called GCSEs when they are 16, after which most people go on to study A-Levels, which they take exams for at age 18 (until last year and still in some subjects until the specifications change, the exams are split such that some are taken at age 17 as well).
All of these exams are conducted under the same rules set by JCQ (the Joint Council for Qualifications)(See here for the full document), which importantly forbid calculators that are designed or adapted to offer symbolic algebra manipulation, symbolic differentiation or integration, or communication with other machines or the internet, or from having retrievable information stored in them.
In my experience, most people use the Casio fx-83GT PLUS (£5) or fx-85GT PLUS (£6) and variations thereof or (especially once they are doing A-Level Further Maths) Casio fx-991ES PLUS (£15.90). These are all non-graphing scientific models with fairly unpleasant mushy keyboards, and especially in the case of the fx-991ES PLUS, quite a few features, almost all of which are separated into separate modes, which can tend to make them a pain to use. (As if algebraic entry wasn't time consuming enough!) Luckily, only the basic scientific functions (trig., exp., etc.) are ever really required. A very few people get graphing calculators such as the TI-84, but these are the exception, and the students tend to have come from education systems in other countries. (I once knew someone from Germany that had a monster of a TI Voyage 200, only to be told it wasn't allowed because of its CAS) Thanks to me, there were a few people walking around with the WP-34s, but the potential for serial communication (which would require someone to go into the exam room with a load of wires and computer etc, while being supervised) and maybe the fact that it was a modified calculator seemed to spook the relevant people, so we were advised against using them for exams.
In my experience of the pure modules of the Further Mathematics and Mathematics courses, curve sketching is generally done by hand, as are computations using matrices, vectors, complex numbers and integration (even definite integration, as they want exact answers). Most of the emphasis is proving things to be true, manually finding series expansions, and giving exact answers, so calculators are rarely required.
We did occasionally use tools such as Desmos, Geogebra and Autograph for demonstrations, and are sometimes advised to use Desmos in particular if we are really stuck. All students in my classes had smartphones. My school also used to have a site licence for Mathematica, but stopped paying because it was deemed too expensive given that only a handful of students used it.
In the statistics and mechanics modules of the Maths and Further Maths Courses, there is more emphasis (at least in my experience) on calculating things and giving inexact answers, however for mechanics problems, we are advised to only use the calculator to give final answers, working symbolically until that point. In statistics modules we are expected to use mathematical tables. This is possibly partly because the calculators we are expected to use do not feature much in the way of statistical distributions, and also because in the exams, use of the provided tables is likely expected.
In general, where more advanced calculator features allow a quick way to get an answer, workings out are awarded marks in the exams, so any such features are relegated to merely being a quick way to check the answers given.
I'm not sure how this compares to other education systems, but I would certainly say that we are taught Mathematics really quite well. For those interested, specifications for the Maths and Further Maths courses from two of the main exam boards can be found at the links below. (The boards award the same level qualification, and I think the Mathematics courses have to meet certain government standards with regards to content, whereas the content of Further Mathematics courses are (from what I have heard) less prescriptively regulated.)
OCR Exam Board Specification
Edexcel Exam Board Specification
Note that these specifications will soon be out of date, as AS exams (taken as part of an A-Level at at age 17) are being phased out, as are (apparently) modular courses, yet I imagine that the content and teaching methods will be similar.

3 BI Lessons from Online Humor Network Cheezburger
The Mashup > Big Data > 3 BI Lessons from Online Humor Network Cheezburger
A quick glance at Google Trends data confirms that Big Data–at least as a marketing phrase–is at its peak. Over the past year the phrase has skyrocketed in popularity, most likely thanks to searchers both curious about what Big Data means, and how they should approach data management when information has more volume, variety and velocity than ever before.
But analyst firm Gartner is quick to condition users that with great technology investment, comes great responsibility. Gartner found that almost three-quarters of Business Intelligence (BI) projects fail, and that only 30 percent of projects will have successfully aligned business objectives and measures by the end of next year. So how can organizations work to ensure their BI investment is as successful as possible?
I recently had the opportunity to chat with Loren Bast, Director of Business Intelligence at online humor network Cheezburger. Cheezburger invested in a new BI tool because it was unable to keep up with the amount of data it was producing across its popular humor websites such as I Can Has Cheezburger and FAIL Blog.
I asked Bast how he would have managed the project differently if he could start again. He said in an ideal world, he would have focused more on the following three things:
#1 Even with Big Data, the Small Stuff Matters — When Cheezburger introduces new data sources to its BI tools today, it ensures that the data is accurate and valid by comparing against legacy systems and closely looking at each feed before reporting is automated. But at first, this wasn’t always the case.
“We would spend a ton of time analyzing one month or three months’ worth of data, only to realize the data we were looking at wasn’t exactly what we were looking for,” says Bast.
From the beginning, organizations should invest in both people and technology to ensure that the data being analyzed is, in fact, accurate and as intended.
#2 Act as Internal Consultants When Preparing Reports — KPI-bloat was a real issue for the Cheezburger team when they started being inundated with report requests. But Bast and his department found value in not just selecting the best performance indicators, but working directly with product and engineering teams to ensure the reporting will lead to positive actions for the business.
“Now, we always ask if something valuable to the business is going to come out of the report,” says Bast. “If we can’t agree on a clear answer to that question, we just won’t build the report.”
#3 Be a Leader, Increase Buy-In — Finally, the last point Bast shared to me was a bit unexpected–when when he introduced it less than a year ago. The BI department at Cheezburger sends out daily reports on its data, but Bast had the idea to add a section at the top that focused more on the possible issues behind the data, and opened the floor for commentary from other stakeholders.
For an online business where things change daily, the new “Insanely Insightful Commentary” section is now one of the more important catalysts for action in the company today. “Opening up the conversation gets the most productive chatter going,” says Bast. But this makes sense–BI is at it best when it provides action, not just analysis. Bast simply opened the door.
For Cheezburger, improving on these three areas has allowed the organization to become what Bast calls a “service group” of the Cheezburger business–helping not only analyze its data, but direct the organization to invest more time and resources into what’s working the most.

Reflection of sunlight and glare from large solar parks
AdminSeptember 18, 2013News No comments
TÜV Rheinland has developed a new test program for studying the reflection of sunlight by modules in large photovoltaic plants. The reflection of sunlight by the glass of the solar modules is measured in the laboratory and the risks of glare over the entire year are determined for the purpose of selecting the location of a solar plant. For calculating possible glare, TÜV Rheinland employs software internally developed for providing project planners, installers and investors of photovoltaic systems comprehensive security when selecting locations.
Unpleasant reflections and glaring sunlight from large solar parks can jeopardise passing traffic. This must be especially kept in mind with main thoroughfares and in the vicinity of airports. The issue can already be precisely examined in advance of installation. In the individual case an analysis will be absolutely necessary in order to obtain construction approval.
Such independent 'glare assessments' can provide greater security to facility operators. In a procedure recognised by the German Accreditation Body, and based on DIN 5034-2 ('Daylight in Interiors; Principles'), experts from TÜV Rheinland investigate times, duration and frequency of the immissions by the light that would be reflected by the planned solar facility over the entire year, in all directions. On the basis of these results it is then possible not only to optimise the location selection and orientation of the systems, but also to include any anti-glare measures during the planning phase. Expensive rectifications or even litigation can then be ideally ruled out in advance.
With its additional lab studies TÜV Rheinland goes one step further, however: analyses in the lab determine the angle-dependent coefficient of reflection of the glass surfaces of solar modules, which is then used in calculating the maximum irradiance of the reflections for the planned project.
TÜV Rheinland will be presenting this innovative simulation procedure at the 28th international EU PVSEC 2013 in Paris.

TÜV Rheinland: hailstorm test for solar collectors and photovoltaic modules
At its Cologne Solar Centre TÜV Rheinland is offering a more stringent hailstorm test for solar collectors and photovoltaic modules. The test with a 35-millimetre sphere and four times higher energy represents particular stress levels.
Global climatic changes are increasingly resulting in damage from severe storms, with far-reaching effects. More stringent testing therefore provides greater information and certainty on product quality, particularly under hailstorm conditions. The new hailstorm test rig is already recognised by the German Accreditation Body (DAkkS).
Effective immediately, photovoltaic modules and solar collectors, as well as other industrial products, can be bombarded with 35-millimetre hailstones impacting at a speed of 27.2 metres per second. Initial tests have already been successfully concluded on solar collectors.
The 35-millimetre stones have nearly three times the mass of 25-millimetre stones, and carry nearly four times the kinetic energy. Insurers and project planners are right to insist more and more on the tougher testing, since damage to solar systems from hailstorms has considerably increased over past years.
National reality also play an important role. In Switzerland and Austria building damage from hail has become more frequent in recent years. In response to the resulting increasing regulatory costs, Swiss insurance companies now require stricter hail testing for PV modules and solar collectors. In this case, the previous IEC standard test of hail class 2 (25 mm) should be replaced by testing with hail class 3 (35 mm). The resulting new test conditions also bring about a shift in category from T0 to T1 on the internationally recognised TORRO scale (for registering the intensity of tornadoes and strong winds).
9th Energy Saving Exhibition “SAVENERGY 2013” (Nicosia 20 - 22September 2013)
The Cyprus Employers & Industrialists Federation (OEB) announces the organization of the 9th Energy Saving Exhibition “SAVENERGY 2013” which will take place at the Cyprus International Fair grounds (EXPO) in Nicosia between the 20th and 22th of September 2013.

Oleh Zarubinsky MP : Ukraine should adopt European trends and it is 40-50 percent of renewable energy in 10-15 years
AdminSeptember 04, 2013Comments, Markets, News No comments
Ukraine's government has been proposed to increase the share of renewable energy in the energy balance of the country as part of improving the Energy Strategy 2030. This initiative was put forward by First Deputy Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Fuel and Energy Sector, Nuclear Policy and Nuclear Safety Oleh Zarubinsky MP.
"I have turned to Prime Minister Mykola Azarov and Minister of Energy and Coal Industry Eduard Stavytsky as a member of the board of the Ministry of Energy and Coal Industry that this strategy - for it's not concrete, not a law or code - increase the share of green energy," the MP told Ukrinform.
"The share of renewable energy sources, including thanks to my law on the 'green tariff', has grown nearly 4 times in two years. I would like someone to show where there is still such progress," the politician continued. According to him, "this pace should not only be slowed down, but built up."
"If we are talking about the European path, we should adopt European trends, and it is 40-50 percent of renewable energy in 10-15 years, when it comes, for example, about Germany and the Nordic countries," Zarubinsky noted.
According to him, currently the share of renewable energy in the energy balance does not reach 1 percent. "Therefore, it is necessary to invest in the Sun, wind, hydro-electric power stations - in the energy, associated with the renewable sources, and not with what the 'mother nature' has given," the MP stressed.
As reported, in late July the government approved the updated Energy Strategy of Ukraine 2030. The text of the document has not yet been made public.
In the baseline scenario it has been assumed that by 2030, solar, wind and small hydro power plants will generate 13 billion kW/h of electricity compared to 0.8 billion kW/h in 2012. After the adoption of the document, it was proposed to increase this figure three times to about 40 billion kW/h.
According to experts, the development of renewable energy at a faster rate carries risks of technological stability of the integrated energy system. European countries, including Germany and Spain, have already reduced subsidies for renewable energy. The Czech Republic, due to the threat of a trouble-free operation of the network, reduced the tariff for such generation two-fold. At the same time, in the country after the introduction of 1,600 MW of "green generation" in 2011, electricity rose in price by 13 percent for households and 25-28 percent - for the industry.

AdminSeptember 03, 2013Fairs, Markets No comments
Over 230 companies from nine countries worldwide will take part in the international construction expo Budpragres 2013 that will be held in Minsk on 10-13 September, BelTA learnt from the organizing committee.
The participants include construction companies and organizations from Belarus, Russia, Ukraine, Lithuania, Latvia, Poland, Germany, Austria and Turkey. The companies will be able to showcase their best products during the expo.
Local companies that are set to participate in the expo include the Management Company of the Zabudova Holding Company, RosEvroGroup, Coswick, and others. Amkodor, Zhlobin Mechanical Plant Dnieper, Minsk Motor Plant and other producers of special-purpose machines will demonstrate their novelties on the open-air ground that covers about 3,000 square meters.
The collective booth of the Architecture and Construction Ministry will feature leading industrial companies and research facilities, like Granit, Molodechno Metal-Structures Plant and other industry players.
The organizing committee noted that the expo is held against the background of new government-initiated approaches to housing construction in Belarus. “More rented homes, commercial housing and low-rise detached houses will be built in the country. More houses will be erected in the suburbs of big cities. These houses should have the optimal number of floors, be energy-efficient and cost-effective. The emphasis will be made on rationality, energy- and resource- efficiency, optimal architectural forms and a high level of industrialization,” the organizers of the event said. They emphasized that the expo will feature a broad variety of construction materials, technologies, heating equipment, special machinery, lighting equipment and protective gear.
The business program of the exhibition includes a seminar on sectional and panoramic gates and handling equipment, specialized seminars on pumps and pumping stations used in heating, air conditioning, water supply, fire fighting, water drainage and land reclamation and sections on innovative construction materials and technologies in Belarus. There are plans to hold a training session on sales techniques and a conference to discuss sale of doors. The purpose of the conference is to review the situation in the market of doors, identify new market trends, analyze the market structure and capacity, export potential of Belarusian manufacturers and make projections for the short-term period. Last year about 50 representatives of manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers took part in the conference.
Representatives of the State Committee for Science and Technology will take part in the business part of the forum. They will present reports on new construction technologies and materials.
Budpragres is Belarus’ biggest construction exhibition. In 2012 it gathered 350 companies from 11 countries, including Belarus, Germany, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Russia, Turkey, Ukraine, Finland, Czechia and Switzerland.
The forum is organized by Minskexpo with assistance of the Architecture and Construction Ministry of Belarus.

Power-One’s AURORA TRIO inverters used in one of the largest solar parks in Lithuania
AdminSeptember 03, 2013Press release No comments
Power-One, a member of the ABB Group and the world’s second largest designer and manufacturer of photovoltaic inverters, today announced that UAB SOLAR LT, a Lithuanian provider of technical equipment and services, chose Power-One’s popular three-phase, 1,000V DC AURORA TRIO-27.6 and AURORA TRIO-20.0 string inverters for a 1.5MW solar park near Oranai, Lithuania. The solar park is the first PV installation in the Southwestern Suvalkija region and one of the largest solar plants in the country.
UAB SOLAR LT installed more than 6,224 solar modules in an area of 3.98 ha. The company used 48 Power-One AURORA TRIO-27.6 string inverters and one AURORA TRIO-20.0. The inverters are especially suited for commercial use with an efficiency of up to 98.3 percent, two independent MPP trackers as well as an output of 27.6kW and 20.0kW respectively. Connected to the grid in mid-May 2013, the plant has already produced more than 781 MWh of clean energy, equaling the energy consumption of approximately 200 Lithuanian three-person households as well as CO² savings of almost 431 tons.
In Lithuania the energy market depends highly on imported fossils fuels since it has only small domestic oil and gas deposits in the Western part of the country and in the Baltic Sea. Furthermore, the nuclear power plant Ignalina, which covered nearly one third of Lithuania’s energy needs, was closed in 2009. As a result, the government is currently working to increase the share of renewable energy sources to 23 percent of overall energy consumption by 2020.
“We are delighted to be one of the first Lithuanian companies deploying Power-One string-inverters,” said Zilvinas Skardzius from UAB SOLAR LT. “Due to their wide input voltage range they were the perfect choice for this region with its comparatively low solar irradiation.”
“This exciting project gave us the opportunity to support UAB SOLAR LT in their pioneer work for PV energy in this region,” added Gerhard Schackert, Sales Director Northern EMEA at Power-One. “It is very impressive how the company strives to promote solar energy projects in Lithuania and we are looking forward to supporting them further.”
RENSEF, Renewable Energy Systems and Energy Efficiency Exhibition, in Antalya during 31st October - 3rd November 2013.
It seems that Antalya is a rising star, an attractive meeting point for the Renewable Energy Systems Industry. Especially the interest of the solar industry is very high. According to the statistics of TEIAS Antalya consumes the 3.03 % of the total energy consumption in turkey with 5.223.958 KWh. On the other hand it produces the 3,75% of the energy production with a total of 1977 MW power in the province.
Antalya had hosted more than 11.000.000 tourists in more than 2.000 hotels with bed capacity of 550.000. If you consider that an ordinary hotel is consuming around 3 MW of energy every month... you can guess how much the hoteliers are paying to the electricity providers. More than 100.000 greenhouses are producing vegetables in the province together with 3.500.000 tons of biowaste.
Visit in 31st October - 3rd November 2013 in Antalya in RENSEF exhibition.

Efficacy of mitomycin-c on success of primary external DCR surgery
Author Details: Ram Kumar, Richa Shrivastava
Purpose: to evaluate effectiveness of mitomycin-C (MMC) application intraoperatively in cases of primary external dacryocystorhinostomy (EXT-DCR).
Materials and Methods: a total of 96 patients with primary acquired nasolacrimal duct obstruction (PANLDO) were included in a prospective, double-masked, randomized, controlled trial. 50% of patients underwent conventional DCR and 50% underwent intraoperative MMC (0.2mg/ml) application for 5 minutes in the standard DCR procedure. Patients were regularly followed-up. Final outcome at one year of follow-up was used to define success of the surgery. Both subjective decrease in watering and objective patency on syringing were assessed.
Both the patients and the researchers who were assessing the study outcomes were masked to treatment group.
Results: Mean age (SD) of patient was 43.88 (10.51) years. Success rate achieved with DCR procedure with MMC was 97.92% compared to 91.67% with DCR alone. No local or systemic side effects of MMC were found. The success rate was greater in the MMC group than the control group.
Conclusions: Adjunctive intraoperative MMC application with standard DCR surgery has a higher success rate than standard DCR surgery alone. Further larger, randomized studies are needed to confirm these findings.
Keywords: Dacryocystorhinostomy, Mitomycin C, Nasolacrimal duct obstruction.

5 Facts You Should Know About the UAE’s New Logo
Are These Dubai’s Weirdest Guinness World Records?!
Yep, it’s a fact – Dubai loves breaking Guinness World Records. Our city is famous for being home to the world’s tallest building, the tallest tower in the world, the world’s first indoor ski slope, the world’s biggest mall – but have you heard of the other, slightly weird, Guinness World Records that Dubai holds?
1. World’s largest synchronised car dance
Thought dancing was just for humans? Think again. Dubai Police managed to bag the Guinness World Record for largest synchronised car dance, as part of National Day celebrations.
2. Most sand moved with a teaspoon in 30 seconds
Yes, there is actually a world record for this and of course it would happen in our desert. The most sand moved with a teaspoon in 30 seconds is 194 ml.
3. World’s largest puzzle completed underwater
Not sure how this is even possible, but we’re definitely going to try beating this one! The Dubai Police also managed to complete the world’s largest underwater puzzle, which measured 168 metres squared!
4. World’s largest gathering of people dressed as nurses
Yes it’s true, and no, it wasn’t during Halloween. The Dubai Health Authority managed to get 691 people together, all dressed as nurses back in 2014.
5. World’s largest cup of hot tea
Karak chai, anyone? The Guinness World Record for the largest cup of hot tea was just achieved earlier this year at Global Village! The 3.6 metre high tea cup had 5,000 litres of tea, and was 85 degrees Celsius!
6. World’s largest human maze
In the run up to the launch of the latest Maze Runner film, Novo Cinemas rounded up 301 people to create the world’s largest human maze!
7. World’s tallest chocolate sculpture
The world’s tallest chocolate sculpture is a 13.52 metre tall replica of the world’s tallest building – the Burj Khalifa! It was unveiled at Dubai International Airport, and was made entirely of Belgian chocolate.. yumm!
8. World’s longest gold chain
Yep, we’re not surprised the world’s longest gold chain is made in Dubai, but can you guess how long it is?! Made entirely of 22-carat gold, the chain measures 5.5 km! That’s more than 6 times the size of the Burj Khalifa!
9. World’s fastest game of ‘Operation’
Definitely one of the weirdest Guinness World Records Dubai holds. The fastest time ever to complete a game of Operation is 21.87 seconds – and it took place at Global Village. Think you can beat it?
10. Most burpees in 24 hours (Female)
Not sure why anyone would try to beat this, but Dubai also holds the Guinness World Records for most burpees in 24 hours! Eva Clarke (somehow) managed to do 12,003 burpees at the Dubai Autodrome, to raise money for charity.
11. World’s largest flower arrangement
..and it’s shaped like an airplane! The Guinness World Record for World’s largest floral installation was achieved by Dubai Miracle Garden just two years ago, as they created an incredible Emirates A380 Airbus using over 500,000 flowers!

Harrison graduate Ally Ross halfway to Women's City title

WEST LAFAYETTE — For 17 holes Saturday afternoon, Harrison graduate Ally Ross was dominating the Women's City golf field.
Despite a 90-minute rain delay and a shotgun start that the weather forced, Ross played 4-under-par on the West Lafayette Golf and Country Club course. But not even a 7 on her final hole could diminish an outstanding round for the Butler University sophomore.
Ross' 1-under-par 72 was good enough for a three-shot lead over four-time defending champion Samantha Hatter. If that edge wasn't enough, the final 18 holes of the Women's City tournament will be played, weather permitting, on Ross' former high school course at Coyote Crossing.
Ross, Hatter and Megan Donahue (78) will tee off at 12:48 p.m. Abigail Carlson fired a 79 to claim fourth place.
"I feel really good," Ross said in anticipation of playing again at Coyote Crossing. "I want to shoot an all right score tomorrow, keep it consistent, maybe do a little better than today."
Ross had no inkling before teeing off mid-afternoon that she would fire one of the best competitive rounds in her young career.
"I was feeling kind of average," she said. "I was making birdies and bogeys, kind of up and down at the beginning. Then I started to hit some good drives and short wedge shots."
It also helped that the unexpected rain didn't change the course conditions noticeably.
"It wasn't really that wet out there and it wasn't too hot so I feel it was pretty good golf weather," Ross said.
Ross' freshman season with the Butler women's golf team helped her already solid game improve. A four-year letterwinner at Harrison, Ross earned All-State honors as a senior, a season that also saw her finish second in the North Central Conference while helping the Raiders to a runner-up finish as well.
She played in five of Butler's 10 tournaments this past season, posting a scoring average of 83.58 in her 12 rounds. Her best round was a 6-over-par 78 in the opening round of the Lady Boilermaker Invitational.
"I definitely improved my short game while I was at Butler," Ross said. "I looked up to the underclassmen. I wasn't used to a really strong team so it was really good to learn from other players on my team."
For a few minutes Saturday, Hatter was in her usual spot atop the Women's City field. The fast pace of play, Hatter said, helped make her round enjoyable.
"For a lot of golfers shotgun is better because you're going out there with no pressure," Hatter said. "No one's watching, just hit it and move on.
"Shotgun spreads everyone out. We all start at the same time and get done at the same time. It speeds up golf tournaments tremendously and it's fun to do it."

Fur, fluff and pom-poms put the shaggy into shoes

Hannah Marriott
They have been compared to Norfolk terriers, the cast of Fraggle Rock and Andre Agassi’s mullet, but the hair-balls everyone in fashion is talking about right now are, in fact, next season’s most-wanted shoes – and they cost an eye-watering £1,230.
The guinea pig-like princetown slippers are the showpiece of Gucci’s autumn/winter 2015 collection, the first from the brand’s new creative director, Alessandro Michele. In the February showing of the collection, which also included subtly shaggy footwear – ghillie lace-ups decorated with pom-poms, clogs and loafers with tufts of fur escaping at the heel – Michele eschewed the Italian megabrand’s trademark glitz in favour of geeky, Wes Anderson chic, and won rapturous applause from the fashion industry in the process.
“There is something ridiculous about a shoe that needs to be combed,” says Susie Lau, of the fashion blog Style Bubble, “but there’s been so much enthusiasm about what Michele is doing that the editors are eager to wear their support. I have no doubt the shoes will pop up in their various incarnations around fashion week come September. Although perhaps not in the rain.”
Though Gucci is the most high-profile example, other designers are also encasing fashionable feet in fluff next season. At Margiela’s autumn/winter show, models wore high heels that recalled Oscar the Grouch and Yogi Bear. There were Elmo-like court shoes at Dolce and Gabbana and fuzzy black sandals at Ferragamo, while a rash of pom-poms has popped up on shoes by Miu Miu and Sophia Webster, and across Jimmy Choo’s entire 2016 cruise collection.
The fact that the fashion industry is finding new ways to use fur will disturb the many who are concerned about its use in fashion – and already, high-street retailers are offering faux takes, free of animal cruelty and at much less extortionate prices.
Asos’s shoe department is a fluffy riot of pastel pom-poms, affixed to the toes of plimsolls and the straps of sandals. The head of accessories design, Aisling McKeefry, says the company’s love affair with fake fluff began last autumn. “At the time, I was really obsessed with Grand Budapest Hotel and all things Wes Anderson,” she says. “So we made a shoe called Say You Do in pink velvet with a pom-pom on the toe and it sold brilliantly. We realised we were on to something and tried pom-poms on more shoes and shapes, in strange unexpected places.”
Asos sells sandals covered with strips of faux fur and faux fur-lined sliders. “There’s one with a yellow T-bar – like the honey monster has landed on your foot – that I just can’t imagine us doing nine months ago, but taste levels seem to move on so quickly. Some of the pom-poms that felt really out there to me last season now seem quite tame.”
There has been a shift away from minimalism and the more classic footwear styles over the past few seasons; customers have more confidence to wear shoes with a sense of humour, or pieces which will become collectible items.
At luxury online retailer matchesfashion.com, Sophia Webster’s pom-pom heels and the shearling lined clogs from Alvaro are “spearheading that kooky, eccentric trend that has emerged(this season), which the fluffy shoe is a key part of”, says Cassie Smart, the company’s footwear buyer.
Though autumn/winter 2015 offers the most widespread use of outlandish fluff on shoes yet, the trend’s origins can be traced to the ever-influential Celine, which in 2013 showed fur-lined Birkenstock sandals and oversized bright yellow fluffy high heels that brought to mind Big Bird. Then, only the bravest dipped their toes into the trend; now the appeal has broadened, as minimalism wanes and the kind of cultivated eccentricity seen at Gucci becomes ever more mainstream. “Customers have more confidence to wear shoes with a sense of humour,”says Smart.

Markets Stay in ‘Risk Off’ Mode; Riksbank Hikes Rates, BoE Stands Pat
Market sentiment remained subdued yesterday, with major global stock indices being a see of red. Apart from the less-dovish-than-expected FOMC decision, the increasing likelihood over a partial US government shutdown tonight may have also weighed on investors’ morale. Among the G10 currencies, SEK was the big winner after the Riksbank increase rates for the first time since 2011. The pound remained unfazed after the BoE’s own rate decision.
Fed Decision and US Politics Weigh on Investor Sentiment
The dollar traded lower against all but one of the other G10 currencies on Thursday, with the main winners being SEK, JPY and CHF in that order. The only currency that failed to gain against the greenback was CAD, with USD/CAD found virtually unchanged this morning.
The greenback came under strong selling interest yesterday, with no apparent reason. However, the broader risk appetite remained subdued, with major global indices being a sea of red. The negative sentiment rolled over into the Asian day Friday, with Japan’s Nikkei 225 and China’s Shanghai Composite closing their sessions 1.11% and 0.79% down respectively.
As we noted yesterday, the not-so-dovish Fed decision triggered a “flight to safety” market reaction. Although the Committee revised down the number of hikes it expects throughout 2019 from 3 to 2, this was still well above market consensus, which is still not pricing in even a single quarter-point increase. As we noted in the past, higher interest rates mean higher borrowing costs for companies, something that could erode their profitability and that’s why investors abandon stocks and instead seek shelter to safer assets, like the yen.
On top of concerns over the Fed’s future policy plans, developments in the US political scene may have also weighed on investors’ morale. The House of Representatives voted in favor of funding President Trump’s border wall yesterday, but this is expected to be rejected by Senate tonight, just hours before a deadline, after which the government will partially shut down. Trump insisted that he will only sign a bill including wall funding, but senators have made it clear that they will not divert from their position. If they fail to find common ground up until tonight, nine government departments will close.
USD/JPY – Technical Outlook
Huge yen-buying activity was seen yesterday during the US trading session. As the equity markets are deeply in the red, investors are trying to find safe-havens to put their money in. This is where the yen has been coming in over the past few days. From the technical side, USD/JPY has been on a slide lower since Monday. Even the medium-term upside support line taken from the low of the 29th of May was not able to withhold the bears, as they rushed through that line with confidence. Yesterday’s strong sell-off led to a drop below the 111.00 level and the pair found support near the 110.81 hurdle, from which it pushed back up. Even though we may see a bit of further correction, still, the near-term outlook remains bearish.
If USD/JPY struggles to overcome the 111.35 barrier, this could mean that the pair is not able to correct more than that. Such a move may invite the bears again, so that they could drive USD/JPY back down. If that happens, the pair could easily move to re-test yesterday’s low at 110.81. Slightly below lies another potential area of support near the 110.35 level, marked by the low of the 7th of September.
On the upside, if USD/JPY gets back above the 111.70 barrier, this might clear the path towards the next potential area of resistance at 111.95, a break of which could lead the pair higher to the 112.25 level. This level acted as a strong support zone between the beginning of November and the middle of this week, when it finally got broken. Now it could take the role of being a strong resistance.
SEK Rallies on Riksbank Hike, GBP Untouched After BoE
Yesterday’s big winner was SEK, which surged following the Riksbank’s decision to raise rates to -0.25% from -0.50%, the first increase since 2011. Although in previous statements the Bank has clearly noted that interest rates will be raised either in December or February, the softness in latest inflation and GDP data may have prompted some, including us, to abandon hopes that Swedish policymakers could push the hiking button at this gathering.
Thus, the move may have came as a surprise and that’s why SEK surged, although it could be characterized as a “dovish hike” given the downgrade in the Bank’s inflation and interest rate projections. According to the statement, the next rate rise will probably occur during the second half of 2019, while after this, the forecast indicates approximately two rate rises per year.
As for our view, although SEK could continue gaining for a while more, we remain skeptical over its longer-term performance. We prefer to continue monitoring the core CPIF inflation metric, which excludes energy, in order to assess the likelihood and the timing of the next rate increase by the world’s oldest central bank. In the end of 2019, the core CPIF is projected to be +1.9% yoy, but the last time we saw the rate at such a high level was back in September 2017. Now, it stands at +1.4% yoy. Therefore, signs of weakness or a failure of this metric to pick up could worry policymakers, who may eventually decide to push back the timing of when they could act next.
Passing the ball to the pound, this currency traded slightly higher against its US counterpart, but this has nothing to do with the BoE decision. Actually, the event passed largely unnoticed. The Bank decided to keep interest rates unchanged at +0.75% via a 9-0 vote, repeating that an ongoing tightening would be appropriate at a gradual pace and to a limited extend.
Officials also maintained the view that whatever form Brexit takes, the Bank’s response could be in either direction, meaning that they could hit the hiking button even after a disorderly divorce from the EU. However, although this point proved positive for the pound at the November meeting, it may have been balanced out by the assessment that since the previous meeting, the near-term outlook for global growth has softened and downside risks to growth have increased, as well as by the view that inflation is likely to fall below 2% in coming months due to the slide in oil prices. Policymakers also noted that Brexit uncertainties have intensified considerably since the Committee’s last meeting.
In our view, the muted reaction of the pound shows that GBP-traders keep their gaze fixed on the political landscape, and only that. Whatever forecasts and signals the BoE provides, everything could change after the 29th of March. With May struggling to get any concessions from Brussels, investors remain concerned that in the delayed vote, scheduled for the week starting on the 14th of January, the Parliament will reject the existing Brexit accord. Adding to that, yesterday, the government removed from its guidance to companies the description of a no-deal case as “unlikely”, and instead referred to just a “no deal scenario”. So, having all that in mind, we stick to our guns that uncertainty is likely keep the pound under pressure, and any rallies limited and short-lived.
USD/SEK – Technical Outlook
Yesterday, after the Swedish central bank’s rate hike, the krona strengthened against a basket of currencies. The US dollar was no exception, as the Bank’s announcement pushed USD/SEK strongly to the downside. The pair managed to reach a low, near the 8.925 area, from which it retraced back up slightly, in order to end the day above the lower side of the range that USD/SEK had been trading in since the beginning of November. Even though yesterday’s slide in the pair could be seen as a bearish indication for the near-term outlook, the fact that USD/SEK got back above the lower bound of the previously-mentioned range puts us in a more cautious position, hence why we will take a cautiously-bearish stand for now.
Another drop below the lower side of the range, which is at around 8.963, may invite more bears to the table and the rate could slide towards yesterday’s lows at 8.925. If that area is not able to withstand the bear-pressure, its break may lead to a further drop of USD/SEK to its next potential support zone, at the 8.883 hurdle, marked near the low of the 16th of October.
Alternatively, if USD/SEK fails to go ahead with breaking the lower bound of the range, but instead, makes a push higher and breaks above 9.005, this may be an opportunity for the bulls to step in and recapture some of yesterday’s lost grounds. We could then target the 9.036 obstacle, a break of which could lead towards the 9.082 level, which was the intraday swing low of the 19th of December and the intraday swing high of the 18th of the same month.
As for Today’s Events
In the UK, we have the final GDP for Q3, which is expected to confirm its preliminary estate and show that the UK economy accelerated to +0.6% qoq from +0.4% in Q2. That said, we don’t expect this release to attract any attention. After all, we already have models and data suggesting how the economy may have performed after that quarter. The NIESR GDP tracker suggests that economic growth is set to slow to +0.4% qoq in the last quarter of 2018, while the monthly GDP for October revealed a +0.1% mom growth after the flat readings in August and September.
We also get final GDP data for Q3 from the US, as well as personal income and spending for November, which are always accompanied by the core PCE index, the Fed’s favorite inflation metric. The US final GDP is expected to confirm the second estimate of 3.5% qoq SAAR, while both income and spending are expected to have slowed down. As for the core PCE rate, it is expected to have ticked up to +1.9% yoy from +1.8% yoy, which is likely to prompt market participants upwardly adjust their expectations with regards to future interest rates by the Fed.
From Canada, we get the monthly GDP and retail sales, both for October. GDP is expected to have rebounded to +0.2% mom from -0.1% mom, while retail sales are expected to have accelerated somewhat in both headline and core terms.

J/70 world championship ready to rock in San Francisco
|By j70
Italy features five teams including the reigning European Champions Claudia Rossi on Petite Terrible and last year’s world runner-up Carlo Alberini on Calvi Network. Spotlights already on the next J/70 World’s edition to be hosted in Porto Cervo.
San Francisco, CA (September 27, 2016) – The 3rd edition of the J/70 World Championship gets underway today. Hosted by the St. Francis Yacht Club this is the second occasion the championship has been held in the United States as next year’s edition will be contested in Italy (Porto Cervo, Sardinia, September 12-16, 2017 ).
Nearly 80 boats have entered with over 20 nations represented. Racing will be intense with a world class array of tacticians guiding their skilled owner/drivers through the five days racing scheduled. Starting and finishing guns will echo across the Berkley Circle racecourse, an area of San Francisco Bay to the northeast (and leeward) of Alcatraz Island which is located on shallow, tide-protected waters, out of the slippery influence of the swiftest-flowing current that rake the Bay’s deeper waters . The weather has an air of unpredictability providing so far ‘a little’ damp conditions.
A glance at the 2016 Alcatel J/70 Worlds entry list reveals star-studded boats from 15 nations, including J/70 World Champions Tim Healy (Helly Hansen) and Julian Fernandez Neckelmann (Flojito Y Cooperando); J/70 North American Champions Jud Smith (Africa) and Joe Bardenheier (Muse); as well as the outgoing World runner up Carlo Alberini’ Calvi Network (two-time winner at Key West Race Week) and the current continental champions Claudia Rossi on Petite Terrible. Additionally, this impressive list also includes world-class tacticians such as John Kostecki, Olympic medal and the Volvo Ocean Race winner, as well as Bill Hardesty and Paul Cayard who is joining Alberini’s Italian team on Calvi Network-Econsulting. An impressive company to keep for a class that just started sailing in 2012, and before San Francisco’s edition has only held two previous world championships, first in Newport, Rhode Island (2014) and then in La Rochelle, France (2015). And spotlights are already on next year’s Italian event to be hosted in Porto Cervo where model sailing conditions, world-class talent, top-level race management and unbelievable socials will all come together to result in a World Championship worthy of the fastest-growing fleet around.
To follow the Alcatel J/70 World Championship 2016, title sponsor Alcatel has been supplying smartphones to each boat that will be used as onboard trackers to report real-time positions, facilitating a state-of-the-art virtual spectator experience for those ashore.

Auguste Lecerf was one of the ablest 'reformed' theologians of the twentieth century. His lectures at the University of Paris were praised for their succinctness, controversial skill and deep learning. His Introduction to Reformed Dogmatics was incomplete at the time of his death in 1943.
The first two volumes, translated here, entitled De la Nature de la Connaissance Religieuse and De Fondement et de la Specification de la Connaissance Religieuse, stand on their own and form a major contribution to theology. Part I discusses the nature of religious knowledge whereas Part II concentrates on the question of apologetics in Calvinism whist exploring philosophy and dogma. Lecerf's work forms a profound study of the nature and basis of religious knowledge and offers a valuable critique of European philosophy from the standpoint of authentic or classical Calvinism. The work has become an influential and widely regarded Calvinist work, and is valued for its penetrating insights and strong Biblical emphasis.
Anyone with an interest in Calvinism should remember the enigmatic words of the visitor to Lecerf's door in 1930 who introduced himself with these words: "M. Lecerf is a unique personality, they say, he is in fact the last of the Calvinists and when he dies the type will be extinct. So whatever happens, do not fail to pay him a visit.".

Candle (from Earth into a Black Hole) is a scented, white candle which burns down over 12 hours. The candle creates a journey through space via smell; as if taking off from Earth, journeying to the Moon, the Sun, Mars, Jupiter, the stars, all the way into a Black Hole. The candle is formed of 23 layers, each containing a unique scent reflecting each place or planet. The Clouds and Troposphere smell like ‘water, humidity, wet basement, washed towels’ and the Ozone like ‘the clean smell after a thunder storm.’ The Moon is scented like ‘burnt gunpowder’ and Titan, Saturn’s Moon with ‘sweet and bitter almonds, cherry, slight benzene.’ Mars, an ‘old penny’.

Gamma Ray Bursts are the brightest explosions in the universe, which burn with a luminosity 100 billion times that of our sun. The confetti cannons created for '100 Billion Suns' contain 3,216 pieces of paper whose colours correspond to each of these cosmic events. Every burst of confetti creates a miniature explosion of all of these vast explosions, in just under a second.
Cannons were set off at regular intervals during the vernissage of the 54th Venice Biennale at a series of unspecified locations around Venice, from major piazzas to the smallest back streets. Each explosion is documented in a photographic archive, showing a unique perspective of Venice during the opening days of the Biennale: 100 Billion Suns (Venice)

Three digital films on DVD
Installation view from The Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, Fort Worth, Texas
Sound recordings from three glaciers in Iceland, pressed into three records, cast, and frozen with the meltwater from each of these glaciers, and played on three turntables until they completely melt. The records were played once and now exist as three digital films. The turntables begin playing together, and for the first ten minutes as the needles trace their way around, the sounds from each glacier merge in and out with the sounds the ice itself creates. The needle catches on the last loop, and the records play for nearly two hours, until completely melted.

An underwater microphone lead into Jökulsárlón lagoon - an outlet glacial lagoon of Vatnajökull, filled with icebergs - connected to an amplifier, and a mobile-phone, which created a live phone line to the glacier. The number +44(0)7757001122 could be called from any telephone in the world, the listener put through to Vatnajökull. A white neon sign of the phone number hung in the gallery space. The work now exists as an archive of that event.

Katie Paterson has become known for her multidisciplinary and conceptually-driven work with an emphasis on nature, ecology, geology and cosmology. Many of her poetic installations have been the result of intensive research and collaboration with specialists as diverse as astronomers, geneticists, nanotechnologists, jewelers and firework manufacturers.
Among recent works are: Totality (2016), a mirrorball reflecting every solar eclipse seen from earth; Hollow (2016), a commission for University of Bristol, made in collaboration with architects Zeller & Moye, permanently installed in the historic Royal Fort Gardens: a miniature forest of all the world’s forests, including over 10,000 unique tree species spanning millions of years telling the history of the planet through the immensity of tree specimens in microcosm; Fossil Necklace (2013), a necklace comprised of 170 carved, rounded fossils, spanning geological time; Second Moon (2013), a work that tracks the cyclical journey of a fragment of the moon as it circles the Earth, via airfreight courier, on a man-made year-long commercial orbit; All the Dead Stars (2009), a large map documenting the locations of 27,000 dead stars known to humanity; Light bulb to Simulate Moonlight (2009), an incandescent bulb designed to transmit wavelength properties identical to those of moonlight; and History of Darkness (ongoing), a slide archive of darkness captured at different times and places throughout the universe and spanning billions of years. As Erica Burton, curator at Modern Art Oxford, wrote at the time of a solo exhibition in 2008, “Katie Paterson’s work engages with the landscape, as a physical entity and as an idea. Drawing on our experience of the natural world, she creates an expanded sense of reality beyond the purely visible.”
Katie Paterson, Earth Moon Earth, 2007
Earth-Moon-Earth (E.M.E) is a form of radio transmission whereby messages are sent in Morse code from earth, reflected from the surface of the moon, and then received back on earth. The moon reflects only part of the information back – some is absorbed in its shadows, ‘lost’ in its craters. For this work Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata was translated into morse code and sent to the moon via E.M.E. Returning to earth fragmented by the moon's surface, it has been re-translated into a new score, the gaps and absences becoming intervals and rests. In the exhibition space the new 'moon–altered' score plays on a self-playing grand piano.
Katie Paterson (born 1981, Glasgow, Scotland) received her BA from Edinburgh College of Art, Edinburgh, United Kingdom in 2004 and her MFA from the Slade School of Fine Art in London, United Kingdom in 2007.

Paterson has participated in group exhibitions at the Royal Museums Greenwich, London, UK (2019); the Columbus Museum of Art, Columbus, OH and the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Humlebaek, Denmark (2018); the Wexner Center for the Arts, Columbus, OH (2017); the Henry Moore Institute, Leeds, UK and OCAT, Shanghai, China (2016); the Guggenheim Museum, New York, NY (2015); the Power Plant, Toronto, Canada; the Art Institute of Chicago, Chicago, IL; the Renaissance Society, Chicago, IL; the Hayward Gallery, London, UK; and Turner Contemporary, Margate, UK. Her work has also been featured in the 2017 Yokohama Triennale, Japan; 11th Gwangju Biennale, Gwangju, South Korea, 2016; Whitstable Biennial 2010, Whitstable, UK; PERFORMA 09, New York, NY; and Altermodern: Tate Triennial 2009, Tate Britain, London, UK.
She has been the recipient of the John Florent Stone Fellowship at Edinburgh College of Art, and was the Leverhulme Artist in Residence in the Astrophysics Group at the University College London for the academic year 2010-2011. Her work can be found in public collections including the Art Institute of Chicago, Chicago, IL; the Art Gallery of New South Wales, Australia; Berkeley Art Museum, Berkeley, CA; FRAC, Franche-Comté, France; the Musee D’Art Classique de Mougins, France; the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Philadelphia, PA; the Redtory Museum of Contemporary Art, Guanghzhou, China; the Solomon R.

Supplier to provide more than 50 titles to market-leading operator
Premium slots and table games provider Habanero has launched in Romania for the first time with Winbet, the country’s leading operator.
Signed as a continuation of the hugely successful partnership agreed with EGT Ukraine last year, the deal sees EGT’s Winbet brand integrate 58 of Habanero’s innovative slot and table games certified by Romania’s gambling authority (ONJN).
The latest in a succession of market entries for Habanero as part of its ambitious plans for European expansion, the company has signed a string of partnerships with leading operators across Europe in the past 12 months, including Croatia, Lithuania, Georgia, the UK and Portugal.

Boris Johnson: British Government working very hard on Flybe rescue
Tuesday, January 14, 2020 - 10:19 AM
The Government is “working very hard to do what we can” to save airline Flybe, Boris Johnson has said.
But the British Prime Minister warned there are “limits” to what a government is allowed to do to help individual companies.
Chancellor Sajid Javid will hold talks with the business and transport secretaries to discuss if the loss-making regional carrier can defer paying this year’s estimated air passenger duty (APD) bill of £106m (€123.8m) for three years or whether the tax should be cut for all domestic flights, according to multiple reports.
Airlines claim APD restricts connectivity and passenger growth.
Passengers on domestic flights pay £26 (€30) in APD for a return trip, with higher rates for longer flights and premium cabins.
The tax is expected to be worth £3.7bn (€4.3bn) to the Treasury in 2019/20.
If Flybe collapses, it would be the second UK airline to fail in four months, after Thomas Cook went bust in September.
Asked if he intends to save Flybe, Mr Johnson told the BBC: “It’s not for Government to step in and save companies that simply run into trouble.
“But be in no doubt that we see the importance of Flybe in delivering connectivity across the whole United Kingdom.
(PA Graphics)
“It’s very important, for instance, where I was yesterday in Northern Ireland, and we’re working very hard.
“I can’t go into commercially confidential discussions.
“We’re working very hard to do what we can, but obviously people will understand that there are limits, commercially, to what a government can do to rescue any particular firm.
“But what we will do is ensure that we have the regional connectivity that this country needs.”
Shadow chancellor John McDonnell claimed “bailing out a company through a tax cut across the industry is not the way forward”.
He went on: “Working with the company and unions, the Government should look at targeted assistance to support routes judged on economic, environmental and social grounds.”
Flybe continues to provide great service and connectivity for our customers while ensuring they can continue to travel as planned. We don’t comment on rumour or speculation.
— Flybe ✈ (@flybe) January 12, 2020
Flybe was bought by a consortium consisting of Virgin Atlantic, Stobart Group and Cyrus Capital in February 2019 following poor financial results.
The consortium, known as Connect Airways, paid just £2.2 million for Flybe’s assets but pledged to inject cash into the airline to turn it around.
The holding of rescue talks with the Government over the weekend indicates the financing requirements have become greater than expected.
The airline is Europe’s largest regional carrier, flying around nine million passengers a year to 170 destinations across the continent.
It has a major presence at UK airports such as Aberdeen, Belfast City, Manchester and Southampton.
The airline began as Jersey European Airways in 1979, operating regional flights from Jersey.
Its route network grew and it was rebranded British European in 2000, before becoming Flybe in 2002.

Crucifixion Or Cruci-Fiction
Book title: Crucifixion Or Cruci-Fiction
SYMPATHY FOR JESUS:
SYMPATHY FOR JESUS
works in a mysterious way. He inspires the soldiers to think that the
victim is "dead already" so as not to break his legs, but at the same
time inspires another to lance him on the side1 with a
spear, and . . .
. . FORTHWITH came there out blood and watery."
(HOLY BIBLE) John
It is a
Blessing of God that when the human body cannot endure further pain or
agony, unconsciousness supervenes. But immobility, fatigue and the
un-natural stance on the cross2 must have slowed down the blood-circulation. The lancing
came to the rescue. By "blood-letting", the circulation could regain
its rhythm. We are assured in the Encyclopedia Biblica, under article
"cross," column 960, that "Jesus was alive when the spear was thrust".
This also confirms the statement of John that the flow of "water and
blood" was instantaneous. In his own words he says: "FORTHWITH" —
stralght-away, immediately, which was a sure sign that Jesus was ALIVE!
the "Water and the Blood"? Dr. W.B. Primrose, a Senior Anaesthetist of
the Glasgow Royal Infirmary, gave his expert opinion: In the "Thinkers
Digest", London, Winter 1949 issue, he said that "THE WATER WAS A
RESULT OF THE NERVOUS UPSET OF THE BLOOD VESSELS LOCALLY DUE TO THE
OVER-STIMULATING EFFECT OF THE SCOURGING BY STAVES". This may be an
extreme case, but so was his sweating, like "great drops of blood,
falling down to the ground", when Jesus was in agony in the Garden
of Gethsemane. Medical authorities also confirm the latter phenomenon.
1. The "side" of his body and not the front.
2. See at the end of this book for illustration reproduced from
"A Campus Crusade" publication where a "born-again" cultist
after 1000 hours study of the cruci-FICTlON is inspired to draw that
caricature of Jesus.
EVANGELISTS DIFFER
Gospel-writers are not unanimous regarding the time when Jesus was
hoisted onto the cross. But John tells us that Jesus (pbuh) was still
before Pilate in the praeto-rium at 12 noon: ".
. . and about the sixth hour (Hebrew time), he saith unto
the Jews, Behold, your King!" — (John
19:14). And after
much wrangling he was handed over for crucifixion. Imagine the
disorderly mob, the heavy cross which Jesus himself is supposed to have
been loaded with. The long climb to Gol’gotha could never have been
accomplished in minutes. And the saddling, the tying and the lifting
must have taken some time. On TV shots, they can do it all in 30
seconds! But we know that in real life it does not happen that fast.
The author of John's Gospel failed to record the time when "Jesus
gave up the ghost" (John 19:30), but the synoptists seem to be agreed that it was
around the "ninth hour", meaning 3 p.m.
Farrar, in his "Life of Christ", says on page 421, that "JESUS
WAS ON THE CROSS FOR ONLY THREE HOURS — WHEN TAKEN DOWN".
PONTIUS PILATE MARVELS
told in the Gospels, in varying terms, that between the "sixth" and the
"ninth" hours, there was THUNDER, an ECLIPSE and an EARTHQUAKE! —
Without purpose? No, to disperse the sadistic mob after their enjoyment
of a Roman holiday. To enable the hands of mercy, his "secret" and
faithful disciples, to come to his succour.
of Arimathe'a together with a sympathetic Roman centurion who had
declared: "Truly this man was the Son of God" (Mark
15:39), went to Pilate to claim the body of
Jesus, and:
"Pilate
marvelled if he were already dead, and to him the centurion, he
asked him whether he had been any while dead."
(HOLY BIBLE) Mark
the reason for Pilate's amazement? Why did he marvel? He knew from
experience that normally no man would die within 3 hours on the cross,
unless the "crurifragium" was resorted to, which was not done
in the case of Jesus; unlike in that of his "crossmates", who were
given the treatment because they were still ALIVE!
REASON FOR MARVELLING
stands to reason, that if a man faces a firing squad, and shots are
fired into his body, and he dies, there would be nothing to "marvel"
about. If a person is taken to the gallows and is hanged, and he dies,
there is nothing to "marvel" about. But should they survive, after our
common knowledge expects them to die, then there is much to MARVEL
about. Conversely, Pilate expects that Jesus should be ALIVE on the
cross, and not dead as he is being told, therefore his marvelling is
only but natural. He had no special reason for verifying whether Jesus
was dead or alive. If he was ALIVE — so what? Had he not found Jesus
innocent of the charges levelled against him by the Jews? Did his wife
not warn him against doing any harm to "that just man"? Was he not
blackmailed into surrendering to Jewish clamour? So if Jesus was alive
— Good Luck to him. Pilate grants permission for Joseph to have the

brethren!" 1 (in preference to his own mother
and his uterinal brothers and sisters), were nowhere in sight when he
was most in need. His "secret" disciples, Joseph of Arimathe'a and
Nicodemus, would never have been heard of had it not been for Jesus'
ordeal. And they were the only persons to handle the body of Jesus,
with Mary Magdalene and the other Mary(s)
2 as the only spectators.
satisfy the religious scruples of the Jews — the burial bath, the
anointing and the shrouding — would well-nigh have taken more than two
hours. If there were any signs of life in the limp body, no one was
foolish enough to shout to the retreating curiosity mongers: "He is
ALIVE! He is ALIVE! They knew that the Jews would then make doubly sure
that that life was snuffed out.

Kassy's Kause Home Page
Feeling Alone?
We Speak Spanish
About Kassy
The Kause
On December 1, 2014 Kassy got married and had many dreams and plans. As we know sometimes things don't always work out that way. December 30, 2014 Kassy was asked if she was pregnant since she seemed more exhausted then usual and hungrier then usual. She soon after found out she in fact was expecting. We were all extremely happy to find out this exciting news! Kassy was one of the seven children who expressed the most excitement of one day getting married and having a baby of her own.
Very early into her pregnancy she had shared being more tired then usual, unable to sleep, very sick and in pain a lot. Symptoms we believed to be normal for her first trimester in her pregnancy. Along with pregnancy hormones we also noticed her mood swings from being emotional to quickly irritable. Again believing this to be normal. It took an affect on her because she would feel guilty of how she would react to some situations.
Unfortunately, we were wrong...March 22, 2015 after a long, stressful and emotional night our beloved Kassy took her own life. Leaving family, friends and loved ones confused, in shock and hurt. Many of us not understanding what could have led her to take that action. Some of us had just spoken to her the day before. Had discussed so many plans for the days ahead. After examining and learning about Kassys feelings during her pregnancy we learned about Perinatal Depression. It caused this huge turmoil in her mind that took her to a very sad and dark place. Although she had many that loved her she didn't think anyone could understand her inner feelings of confusion and worrisome. If she or ourselves would have known the signs we would have known how to help her.
Here she was the third daughter in the family who was having a baby and experiencing feelings neither her sisters or I ever experienced. She felt alone, ashamed and scared. We look back now and realized the signs. We, her family strive to bring attention and awareness to the different types of depression that can appear during pregnancy. We have learned that the rapid increase in hormone levels during pregnancy can disrupt brain chemistry and sometimes lead to depression. Kassy had no history of depression. As we have learned now, depression don't discriminate on age, race or social life style.
All those that knew her knew she was happy—a lively young women with dreams, goals and plans for the future. She always put others before herself. She loved to help people. We continue to do as she would if she were here. This is how Kassy's Kause was born. We hope that through this we can help other women, who may be experiencing these feelings, educate themselves and those around them. We want people to learn the signs and be able to catch these red flags before it's too late. Especially the partners, they would be the first to see them. We want to express the importance of listening to a woman when they are pregnant. They sometimes are asking for help if we listen between the lines. Kassy had expressed concern several times during her pregnancy. She would ask, "if she will eventually feel normal again". Those were her own words We feel it's important to inform future mothers that they are normal and not alone when experiencing those inner feelings. They should contact their provider, speak to someone and ask for help.

Coastal Carolina football displaced by hurricane, a story that resonates with Cajuns
By: Andrew Clay
LAFAYETTE (KATC) — As Louisiana prepares to host Coastal Carolina Saturday, there is an understanding that there is something bigger going on. The Chanticleers remain displaced by Hurricane Florence and have spent the last week living in Jacksonville, Florida.
This weekend Louisiana Athletics will collect donations to send back with Coastal to aide victims of the storm. But when will the team return to Myrtle Beach? As long as campus remains closed the team will stay on the road.
Currently more than 200 players, staff members and even some pets are living out of a hotel in Jacksonville. The team practices locally preparing for Saturday night’s game. This week the team will travel to Baton Rouge ahead of the game game.
The reality Coastal Carolina is living is a familiar story many Cajuns know too well. Nearly 80 players on Louisiana’s roster are from Louisiana, including a dozen from New Orleans. Senior defensive back Corey Turner recalls being displaced by Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
“It was tough,” he said Wednesday about moving to Atlanta after the storm. “We had to move away from home for a year. No place to go for a year. My family had to rebuild and it was really tough, but we made it through.”

Considering divorce?
If a person wishes to terminate his or her marriage, he or she may file for a divorce. In a divorce proceeding, the court will terminate the marriage and determine the rights and responsibilities of the divorcing parties regarding child custody, child visitation, child support and spousal support (alimony). The court will also redistribute marital assets.
Depending on where you reside and where your assets are, the division of property can be a very simple or very complex process. Disputes often arise during this phase of a divorce if the two parties disagree as to who should receive which assets or property.
Finding a divorce lawyer who is experienced and reliable can reduce your stress and help you make the best choices possible. A good divorce lawyer should be a problem solver who is skilled at negotiation and possesses a solid trial background. If both parties are open to alternative dispute resolution, such as arbitration or mediation, finding a lawyer experienced in collaborative divorce or divorce mediation would be beneficial.
Divorce lawyers also handle child custody issues, including multi-state and international child custody situations. Some divorce lawyers may be certified by their states as being family law specialists. Certification often requires that a lawyer meet certain experience and educational criteria.
Legal Custody: A parent with legal custody has the right to decide on the child's upbringing, education, and medical care. A court may grant legal custody to one parent (sole legal custody) or both parents (joint legal custody).
Separate Property: Property acquired before marriage or during the marriage as a gift or inheritance, or bought during marriage with separate property.

Re: Full Cast List for KINGDOM HEARTS ? Back Cover revealed
so were right on aca and ira but how did you guys guess right on the master of masters being ray chase is beyond me
Guardian of Light
Somehow I'm missing Gula on that list, lol.
Taochan
Can't reprise Kari but can be Chirithy.
gosoxtim said:
Voice actors can manipulate their voice in order to get it to sound different from their normal voice, or voices of other characters. Many guessed Ray Chase as the MoM because it was a bit obvious lol.
I LOVE ALL OF THEM. The acting in the English Dub was incredible!
Sonicfan2525
OMFG RAY CHASE AS THE MASTER!? HOW DID I MISS THIS!?
The voice of Noctis is in a Kingdom Hearts game. We are coming full circle now.
speaking of lara jill miller you can really hear kari when Chirithy talks
Because we are just that good at guessing? (nah it was obvious)
I like that we were all right about Matthew Mercer and Travis Willingham.
Also plz start onepunch Luxu jokes guys
And I slid Gula in. I forgot him because I was thinking about how we reported about him before and was happy I could write it from memory but...forgot in the end.
Master Spockanort said:
still no one guess ava yet and Chirithy was nice surpise to kari voice lol
Re: Full cast list for KINGDOM HEARTS ? Back Cover revealed!
In Japan, The Master is voiced by Joseph Joestar.
Over here, The Master is voiced by Noctis.
Imma start making a whole lot of jokes with this.
what are you guys even talking about with kairi?
Afaik she was only voiced by Hayden, Alyson Stoner and Ariel Winter (Young Kairi)
Muke said:
Kari, not Kairi, lol.
She's a character from Digimon if I recall correctly.
No, no.
Kari:
lol not kairi it kari no extra i in the name kari is digidestined of digimon if you seen the english dub show her name is kari or hikari in japan
Okay, thought it was a typo XDD Thanks for clearing that up, lol
Heh, Ira is both Levi from Attack on Titan and Leorio from Hunter X Hunter.
Nomura taking back Versus XIII one voice at a time (I'm kidding). The clear jab at FFXV with the box art was one thing, but Ray Chase and Matthew Mercer makes this all the more ironic xD
it funny though i like them in these roles then the ffxv role they had not saying there ffxv roles were bad it just there roles are much better
CrystalRaine
Never heard of her before, but Isabela Moner is a seriously talented young lady. Hard to believe she was only a baby when KH1 was released! Man I feel old...

Beermann, Frank
The Conductor Frank Beermann has distinguished himself internationally both on the concert platform and through his many CD recordings.
His insatiable curiosity for new, undiscovered repertoire and interest in re- interpretation of core repertoire have won him numerous awards and prizes.
A core component of the conductor's repertoire are the works of Richard Wagner. His interpretations of Tristan and Isolde, Tannhäuser, Lohengrin, Das Rheingold, Die Walküre and Siegfried in the Minden Wagner projects were rapturously received by local and international press alike.
Writing in the magazine Crescendo’s special 2015 Echo Klassik Awards edition, Eleonore Büning wrote:” Frank Beermann is one of the best Wagner conductors of our time”.
His CD recordings, encompassing as much standard repertoire as they do rediscovered and contemporary works, have received multiple awards, most notably the Echo Klassik in 2009 and 2015.
Frank Beermann has in recent years devoted himself more intently to the great symphonic works of Richard Strauss, Gustav Mahler and in particular Anton Bruckner. He was thus rapidly able to add the “completed” 9th symphony including its reconstructed 4th movement to his repertoire.
Over the past 10 years, he has conducted full cycles of the symphonic works by Beethoven, Brahms, Schubert, Schumann, Mahler (except the 8th symphony) and Strauss, as well as the complete Mozart piano concertos with Matthias Kirschnereit and the Bamberger Sinfonikern; he is currently working on the complete Mozart Symphonies in a new concert series for the Hamm Klassiksommer , with performances spread out over several years.
From 2007 to 2016, Frank Beermann was Generalmusikdirektor of the Theater Chemnitz and Principal conductor of the Robert-Schumann-Philharmonie.
Recent national and international engagements have included his debuts with the Athens National Orchestra, the Aalto Theater Essen, the Philharmonia Orchestra London and the Staatstheater Stuttgart.
Plans for his 18/19 season include productions of Die Fledermaus and Ariadne auf Naxos at the Opéra de Lausanne and the Leningrad Symphony by Shostakovich with the Athens State Orchestra.
In September 2018, Frank Beermann completes the acclaimed “Ring” cycle in Minden, an ambitious project initiated in 2015 under his artistic direction and which has met with unanimous critical acclaim. Two full cycles are planned for 2019.

Trying Physical Therapy First For Low Back Pain May Curb Use Of Opioids
Patti Neighmond
Though Americans spend an estimated $80 billion to $100 billion each year in hopes of easing their aching backs, the evidence is mounting that many pricey standard treatments — including surgery and spinal injections — are often ineffective and can even worsen and prolong the problem.
A study published Wednesday in the journal Health Services Research suggests trying physical therapy first may at least ease the strain on the patient's wallet in the long term — and also curb reliance on opioid painkillers, which carry their own risks.
Patients in the study had "significantly lower out-of-pocket costs — on the average, $500 — when they visited a physical therapist first," says Bianca Frogner, a health economist at the University of Washington.
Ineffective Treatment Often Prescribed For Lower Back Pain, Report Says
The researchers, from the University of Washington in Seattle and George Washington University in Washington, D.C., analyzed more than 150,000 commercial health insurance claims filed between 2009 and 2013 in six northwestern states. They checked the files of patients who had a new diagnosis of low back pain, comparing the insurance claims of people who had received physical therapy before seeing their family doctor or a specialist to those of people who received PT at a later date, or not at all.
The study wasn't designed to look directly at how well physical therapy ameliorates pain. Instead, the researchers wanted to see if physical therapy reduced overall health care costs and patient outlay related to back pain — including the number of opioid prescriptions and the number of advanced imaging tests like MRIs and CT scans, as well as hospitalizations and ER visits.
It turned out that patients who saw a physical therapist before trying other treatments had an 89 percent lower probability of eventually needing an opioid prescription, a 28 percent lower probability of having any advanced imaging services, and a 15 percent lower probability of making one or more ER visits.
Overall, patients saw "significantly lower out-of-pocket costs — on the average, $500 — when they visited a physical therapist first," says Bianca Frogner, a health economist at the University of Washington, and lead author on the study.
"People who get trained in physical therapy have very specialized knowledge about pain management," she says, "especially with the musculoskeletal system. They might actually understand this pain better than the average family physician."
It's also worth noting, she says, that some patients who could benefit from physical therapy don't get it, because of health insurance restrictions, or because they lack insurance, or the co-payments are too high.
Kenneth Harwood, a coauthor of the study and a physical therapist who directs the program in health care quality at George Washington University, says PT can diminish a patient's pain by physically moving the joints of the back, knee, or hip through a full range of motion, thereby decreasing the stiffness and immobility patients might feel.
The therapists can also guide patients through exercise regimens that strengthen muscles and help patients develop control over movements, including posture, he says.
Pain In The Back? Exercise May Help You Learn Not To Feel It
The study did find an unexplained 19 percent higher probability of eventual hospitalization among patients who received physical therapy before other medical care. Researchers didn't have the cause of each hospitalization in their dataset, but Frogner says it may have been, in many cases, the result of other co-morbid conditions associated with low back pain — such as obesity or diabetes.
"It could also be that the physical therapist was able to identify more serious problems on the first visit, and refer patients on to more specialized care," she says.
Among those whose first treatment was physical therapy the scientists found a dramatic decrease in the likelihood of being prescribed opioids for pain.
In an era of pervasive opioid prescriptions, Frogner says, anything that can be done to reduce the number of opioids in circulation is worth considering.
Lost Art Of Bending Over: How Other Cultures Spare Their Spines
"We need to look for better ways to help patients manage the current pain they have and prevent it from coming back in the future" says Frogner, adding that physical therapists "are well positioned to provide ideas on exercises, movement and ways of living to prevent the pain from getting worse — and hopefully from ever coming back, once it's gone."
Pain specialist Dr. Mark Bicket, with Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, who was not affiliated with the study, says the findings align with the American Pain Society's recommendations to provide noninvasive treatment — including heat, massage, acupuncture and physical therapy — as the first line of defense against low back pain.

2019 Convergence
Garcia, Rosero named First Team All-SCIAC
LA VERNE, Calif. — La Verne's Guarina Garcia and Stephanie Rosero have been named to the 2017 First Team Women's Water Polo All-SCIAC as voted by the conference's head coaches. It is the second year in a row the duo has been tabbed First Team.
After taking the SCIAC by the storm last year when the Leopards had the best season in program history, Garcia and Rosero picked up right where they left off, even with scouting reports designed to stop them.
Rosero, a senior from South Gate, led the Leopards with 61 goals and dished out 20 assists, playing the point on offense. She also drew 17 exclusions and recorded 30 steals.
Garcia was a force all over the pool. She tallied 47 goals and a team-leading 30 assists on offense while drawing 32 ejections. The Puerto Rico native also swiped an incredible 83 steals on defense.
The Leopards finished with another winning season and finished third in the SCIAC with a chance to win the championship heading into the championship tournament. La Verne also notched wins over upper-division foes Azusa Pacific and Cal State Monterey Bay.

Does charity begin in Wisconsin? Not for philanthropists who see more value in aiding impoverished people abroad
The "effective altruism" movement argues that donors get more for their money by helping the most impoverished people.
Does charity begin in Wisconsin? Not for philanthropists who see more value in aiding impoverished people abroad The "effective altruism" movement argues that donors get more for their money by helping the most impoverished people. Check out this story on jsonline.com: https://jsonl.in/2BTEOH3
David D. Haynes, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Published 2:52 p.m. CT Dec. 21, 2017 | Updated 1:10 p.m. CT Dec. 31, 2018
Should we be asking more of the charitable organizations we support? The "effective altruism" movement would say yes.(Photo: Getty Images)
What you'll learn if you read this story
"Give close to home." That's long been thought to be good advice for philanthropy. But the "effective altruism" movement challenges that notion. The most efficient giving is giving that can help the most people at the lowest cost, adherents argue. Think mosquito nets to prevent malaria for impoverished people in Africa. These charities often work in the world's poorest nations — not necessarily in the U.S.
Editor's note: This article was originally published in December 2017. It has been updated.
The biggest charitable giver in the U.S. is not Bill Gates or the Walton family or even Mark Zuckerberg.
It’s you.
Last year, individual Americans gave 70% of all charitable gifts. They gave $287 billion to churches, arts groups, programs to help the poor and a myriad of other causes, according to the Giving Institute, a Chicago-based philanthropic organization.
But how much good did those dollars really do? Do we know? And what if more of that money was channeled to charities that had the evidence to back up their work?
A decade ago, Holden Karnofsky and Elie Hassenfeld were wondering the same things. By 2007, the two young hedge fund analysts were ready to give away some of the money they had earned but couldn’t figure out what organizations were having the biggest impact. Karnofsky and Hassenfeld were trying to answer two deceptively simple questions: What do charities do with donors’ money? What’s the evidence that their activities help people?

RELATED: Trump's 2017 tax bill will probably mean billions less in donations for charities this year
Frustrated that so few charities could provide hard evidence, Karnofsky and Hassenfeld left their jobs and founded GiveWell, which evaluates charities based on rigorous, evidence-based vetting.
Each year, GiveWell recommends just a handful of top charities — only eight in 2018, all working in poor nations. Think malaria prevention and deworming programs in sub-Saharan Africa. Or cash transfers with no strings attached for desperately poor people in Kenya and Uganda.
GiveWell's approach is one part of the larger "effective altruism" movement. The idea: Donors should only give to projects that do the most social good and do that work as efficiently as possible. Popular among young, wealthy technocrats in Silicon Valley, two of the most prominent advocates of this approach are Dustin Moskovitz, one of the founders of Facebook, and his wife, Cari Tuna. They are doling out a big chunk of their multi-billion-dollar fortune through their Good Ventures foundation.
GiveWell demands hard evidence that the organizations it recommends are effective (usually relying on academic studies to prove it); makes sure they are cost-effective; evaluates whether the group is transparent both with GiveWell and the public; and figures out whether the charity has room to accept more donor money to increase capacity.
What about giving closer to home, you say? The folks at GiveWell won’t necessarily tell you not to make those donations. But they will argue that your dollar goes further when you pay for things that save lives in impoverished countries. Insecticide-treated mosquito nets are one example.
For $5 a net, the Against Malaria Foundation can help reduce the death toll from this terrible disease, which still kills a half million people a year, according to the World Health Organization. Against Malaria has a proven, evidence-based track record, said Isabel Arjmand, a research analyst with San Francisco-based GiveWell. “Every six months, they go door-to-door and survey 5% of the people who received a net to check to see if they still have the net and are using it,” she told me when I reported this article in late 2017.
In July of that year, GiveWell gave an “incubation grant” to Charity Science Health, another organization working in the developing world. Charity Science sends text messages to parents in India to remind them to immunize their children. “There is some evidence that that increases the immunization rate,” Arjmand said. “We provided some funding to them, and we plan to follow them as they scale up and gather more information about the effect of their program.”
The most enthusiastic adherents of effective altruism, such as Princeton ethicist Peter Singer, might say “no” to operas or symphonies, “no” to early childhood educational programs for poor kids in the U.S., “no” to helping the homeless in Milwaukee. They believe strongly that donors can do more good by helping the poor overseas.
Writing in the Washington Post in 2015, Singer argued: “Many people think that we can’t argue about our fundamental values. In the language of the day, it just depends on your ‘passion.’ But passion is a poor guide.” He has been particularly critical of groups such as Make-A-Wish Foundation.
But such narrow, techie empiricism has prompted pointed criticism.
Writing in the Stanford Social Innovation Review in 2013, two critics, including the chief executive at the watchdog group, Charity Navigator, called GiveWell’s approach “defective altruism,” “bizarre” and “insulting.” Taken to its logical conclusion, they wrote, all sorts of worthy causes would never be funded.
Such an approach also would leave behind much of what we commonly think of as “good work” in Milwaukee. It would mean supporting only causes that can be measured rigorously, even if some worthy ideas can’t be tested by randomized trials.
It also ignores a very human element of giving. Passion for a cause — and empathy for people in need — can be powerful motivators. What if some people need to feel a human connection to give? What if metrics aren't enough?
“Different strokes for different folks,” is how Marybeth Budisch put it in our 2017 interview. Now retired, she was director of donor services for the Greater Milwaukee Foundation, which evaluates the impact of charitable groups locally for people who give through the foundation.
“Some of our donors are passionate about the arts in Milwaukee, and so that's where they should give," she said. "We have other donors who give abroad because that's where their passion is.”
Julie Divjak, director of community impact at the United Way of Greater Milwaukee and Waukesha County, said the United Way thoroughly vets all its member agencies. She noted: “In Milwaukee, some problems, such as infant mortality, rival those of third world countries. A lot of these issues are not exclusive to the developing world.”
Whether it’s “right” or not, many of us do place a higher value on helping those in need in our own backyards. And so for many of us, it won’t make sense to give only where the metrics say we should.
“I think we should be celebrating that people are giving, period,” said Bob Sorge, president of the Madison Community Foundation who said he personally supports a charity that does inexpensive but effective eye surgeries abroad.
“Educate them," Sorge said of donors. "Don’t judge them.”
Still, there are lessons to learn from GiveWell’s work and from effective altruism.
We should demand more accountability and transparency from all charities, whether they are working in Milwaukee or Bangladesh. Can they back up their claims with hard evidence? If not, why not? And if not, should we support them?
Let's return to that statistic: $287 billion. What if more of it was spent more effectively?
In its original business plan (still available on GiveWell’s website), the founders outlined an ambitious idea: They wanted to change the world of charitable giving.
By rigorously evaluating charities, they proposed to redirect dollars to where they would do the most good and encourage competition to “find the best ways of improving the world.”
“We don’t expect to reach all of or even most donors in the short term,” they wrote. “But … helping just a portion of them to give better could dwarf the impact of the world’s largest foundations.”
That remains a worthy goal.

How to evaluate a charitable group
• Be proactive. Take the time to kick the tires and understand what the charity does. "If you are waiting for charities to call you or send you mailers, we think you are rewarding fundraising," said Isabel Arjmand of GiveWell.
• Ask organizations to make the case for why their programs work. Ask for evidence to prove they are having an impact.
• Try to determine if the organization can handle more funding productively.
• Check back regularly to see if the organization met its commitments.
• Vet the charity on Charity Navigator, an online charity watchdog, and Guidestar, an online clearinghouse for information and data about nonprofits. That can be a good place to start narrowing down your giving options, said Andrea Ogden, philanthropic adviser at the Greater Milwaukee Foundation.
• Visit the charity's website and review its annual report and financials. Generally speaking, administrative and fundraising costs should be less than 20% of total expenses. But higher numbers aren't necessarily a troubling sign; GiveWell cautions against paying too much attention to the "overhead ratio." Marybeth Budisch of the Greater Milwaukee Foundation said, "It's really up to the donors. If they're OK with that being a little bit higher, there might be a value in that, such as helping a young nonprofit to grow."
• How much did the charity spend to raise money? What was its contributed income divided by total fundraising expenses? Is the organization using a firm or does it have a full-time development director?
• Board governance. How many members of the board are family members? Are any members paid? The president and CEO should not be the president of the board.
• Is the group registered as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit? If they don't have that tax status, that's a red flag.
• Do a Google search to see if there has been any recent news about the charity.
• Be wary of mailed solicitations from groups you don't recognize; be especially wary of emailed solicitations, which may be scams or attempts to infect your computer.
• If you give using a credit card or give through online organizations, be aware of fees. "We've seen fees upwards of 12% on some," Budisch said.
• Does the charity acknowledge your gift? If not, that's a telling sign for some donors.

Madison foundation launches database
The Madison Community Foundation planted a stake in the ground for transparency in late 2017 when it launched its Greater Madison Nonprofit Directory, which tracks more than 6,000 organizations in Dane, Columbia, Green, Iowa and Sauk counties. The searchable database is powered by Guidestar, the national clearinghouse for basic information about nonprofits.
“I’m not saying this will answer everybody’s questions about programs or effectiveness,” said President Bob Sorge. “As we look ahead, we will be digging deeper and adding more metrics.” He said donors value the foundation’s knowledge of nonprofits and this was a way to “share some of that knowledge with them and help them make more informed decisions about their giving."

Things Opening (vinyl LP)
Lori Goldston [see all titles]
This new album by the American cellist offers an appreciation of her talents as both a composer and performer, in a unique and elegant style reflecting her many inspirations, from baroque music to Americana and experimental music.
Lori Goldston's approach to the violoncello is true and immediate. Describing herself as “classically trained and rigorously de-trained”, Goldston indeed defies all conformities of genre, style and technique. Her playing reflects as much of Baroque as it does of American roots or experimental traditions. It is elegant, gritty, restless, delicate, irreverent, utterly pure. This album comprises of two parts, highlighting Goldston as both a distinct composer as well as a many-faceted performer. The first side holds a suite of songs written by Goldston to accompany the poems of Melinda Mueller, while the second features pieces written for Goldston by Jessika Kenney, Satchel Henneman and Julio Lopezhiler.
Recorded live by Mell Dettmer at the Chapel Performance Space and at Studio Soli in Seattle WA, 2018.
Classically trained and rigorously de-trained, possessor of a restless, semi-feral spirit, Lori Goldston (born 1963 in the State of New York, lives and works in Seattle) is a cellist, composer, improvisor, producer, writer and teacher from Seattle. Her voice as a cellist, amplified or acoustic, is full, textured, committed and original. A relentless inquirer, she wanders recklessly across borders that separate genre, discipline, time and geography, performing in clubs, cafes, galleries, arenas, concert halls, sheds, ceremonies, barbecues, and stadiums.
Current and former collaborators and/or bosses include Earth, Nirvana, Mirah, Jessika Kenney, Ilan Volkov, Eyvind Kang, Stuart Dempster, David Byrne, Terry Riley, Jherek Bischoff, Malcom Goldstein, Matana Roberts, Dana Reason, Lonnie Holley, Cat Power, Ellen Fullman, Mike Gamble, Mik Quantius, Embryo, Secret Chiefs 3, Marisa Anderson, Trey Gunn and Pat Mastelotto, Ô Paon, Tara Jane O'Neil, Natacha Atlas, Broken Water, Ed Pias, Byron Au Young, Christian Rizzo, Threnody Ensemble, Cynthia Hopkins, 33 Fainting Spells, Vanessa Renwick, Mark Mitchell and Lynn Shelton.

“Fake News”? You Bet! Local Television Station Airs Altered Clip Of President Trump
January 10, 2019 By Conn Williamson
The ideological battle zone that is Seattle just got a little more intense, if radicals shouting down each other at city council meetings satisfies the definition of escalating polarization. Somewhere between Skid Row and the prevarications of Jeff Bezos, fact is being insufferably distorted by opinion.
With no requirement for further hate and vitriol within the Pacific Northwest model of public debate bordering on civil unrest, local Fox television affiliate KCPQ-TV threw gasoline on the epic dumpster fire of debate by broadcasting an altered video of President Trump’s Tuesday speech during a newscast, reports talk show host Todd Herman of Mynorthwest.com and KTTH-AM.
Side By side Comparison Thanks To The Todd Herman ShowAn employee was immediately fired in the wake of the scandal, hinting that either the worker acted alone and deliberately changed and aired a clip of Trump’s address, or shared the video from another source. This is juvenile stuff at best, meant for the vapid playgrounds of the social networks and insatiable smartphone junkies. Either way, the entire incident is an egregious violation of FCC community standards governing the treatment and dissemination of information by broadcast entities. Currently, television and radio organizations are required to have a public file mandated by the federal government on hand which includes such documentation applying to station licenses and authorizations, broadcast tower patterns, political advertising campaigns, public commentary, and a list of programming which serves the community. It will be interesting to note if individuals will visit the studio location and demand to view the contents of KCPQ’s file, a right that is afforded to citizens.
The television station is owned by Tribune media, and ironically carries content falling under the umbrella of the 21st Century Fox Rupert Murdoch empire, which is best known for originating the controversial Fox News cable channel.
In what is believed to be the first instance during the modern political era of a non-cable mainstream news source exposing the audience to obvious felonious and doctored imagery, the question remains when will the next incredulous version of a video hijack a traditional news broadcast? As the current controversy surrounds the questionable integrity of social networks in delivering balanced content, the importance of traditional news syndicates remaining unbiased is crucial in maintaining short-term sanctity, while preserving the fundamental building blocks of truth. As society stumbles and wavers with the proliferation of highly subjective information relentlessly broadcast through a variety of effective methods, the hyperbole of the CNN’s, MSNBC’s and to a lesser extent, Fox News, threaten to forever alter the concept of truth.
Aided by the faster than light word of mouth intoxicant of F***book and Twitter, hysteria is quickly replacing reality as the basic understanding of the world is clouded by instant gratification and reasonable perspective is obscured by emotion. As the online communities dissect and process the latest viral controversy, the desperate comparisons with the Jim Acosta baning incident, merely reflect the dire circumstances afflicting the pulse of a nation held prisoner by the need to jack-in, and allow the mind to be stimulated by a self-driving vehicle.
Unfortunately, it is all about perception, as the social networks are perceived by many as viable sources of information and worthy of attaining a journalistic status. Even though the brain children of Zuckerberg and Dorsey do not have to follow the same protocol as broadcast consortiums, when it comes to the sharing information or administering political advertising accounts, the influence of digital informational nodes has led users to the cusp of the rabbit hole and there is no turning back. As the frantic dash to establish political advertising policy in promoting transparency resounds throughout the online world, the old school dinosaurs of mono-vacuum tubes face the inevitable predicament in giving viewers the ultimate power. The easiest way to circumnavigate biased newsrooms is to change the channel.

Volunteers chip in across DeSoto County in aftermath of two destructive tornadoes
Local In MS
by: Brad Broders
DESOTO COUNTY, Miss. (localmemphis.com) – Strangers are helping neighbors and those living in north Mississippi communities, two days after two tornadoes barreled through DeSoto County.
According to Mississippi leaders, Saturday morning’s EF-1 and EF-2 – with winds up to 120 miles per hour damaged more than 200 homes and mobile homes, destroying 15 and causing major damage to 57 others.
Two people were also injured – but not seriously – in the storms, which primarily affected the Love community south of Hernando, MS and the Olive Branch, MS community of Lewisburg.
Volunteers spent the day offering help and providing for those in need.
A Southern Baptist Convention Disaster Relief team provided assistance with bulldozers and chainsaws on Bethel Road, as they rolled in Monday morning and went right to work.
“People in need,” Harry Floate said.
That’s why Floate and other volunteers said they answered the call.
“We’ve got good Christian people that take care of the people in the community,” Floate said.
The storms Saturday blew over trees, toppled sheds, and left a mess behind, which is why families receiving the volunteer help were so thankful.
“Knowing that we’ve got help, got someone to help take care of my mother-in-law, it’s means a lot,” Shanna Redwine said.
That gratitude is evident across Desoto County communities, including Lewisburg near Olive Branch. That’s where the tornado destroyed structures, turned over trailers, and flung debris into trees.
“Something about disasters just brings people close together and it’s just been fantastic,” Desoto County Emergency Management Deputy Director Josh Harper said. “We’ve been just inundated with donations.”
Monday, those at OB Pizza Company dropped off pies, an American Red Cross team provided supplies, and staff at the Hampton Inn in Hernando welcomed 40 affected families at discounted rates – including Quincy Randle’s. Randle and his son took shelter in a ditch as the storm blew over him on Robertson Gin Road Saturday morning.
“It is unbelievable,” Randle said. “It really makes a person realize what a hometown is really all about.”

Voxware's simple implementation can help companies to deliver during holidays
Aug 28, 2014 Voice, Retail Ed Holden Comments (0)
Voxware, the independent Voice application company, has announced that retailers who select the company's Cloud-based Voice software by October will be fully operational before the peak holiday season.
Voxware implementation is complete in 30 days or less, and warehouses can train seasonal hires to use the solution within hours. Voxware's Voice automation technology can help companies see accuracy improve to over 99.99%.
Get up and running quickly before the holidays: While many technology solutions require lengthy implementations, Voxware's Voice management suite can be easily integrated in under 30 days. Since the technology is offered as a Cloud-based solution, Voxware hosts and manages everything from databases to servers to automatic updates. As a result, companies who deploy Voxware do not need to worry about building their own supporting infrastructure.
Rapidly train new and temporary hires: With Voxware, new hires are trained in hours and fully independent by the end of their first shift. Smiffy's, a UK-based distributor of costumes and fancy dress, is implementing Voxware in August knowing that they will be fully functional before the company's peak season in October. "Not only are we confident that Voxware will increase speed and safety in our facility, but we're also confident that our team will be fully proficient in no time at all," says Ross Johnson, Head of Operations for Smiffy's.
Avoid costly errors that drive away customers: The importance of accuracy during the holiday season cannot be overstated. According to a Voxware survey, 29% of respondents will abandon shopping with a retailer after receiving just a single incorrect order. During the holiday season, the stakes rise: in that same survey, 68% of respondents reported that their expectations for correct and on-time delivery are higher during the holiday season.
Voxware's Cloud-based Voice automation solution is the first of its kind to help companies increase operational efficiency and improve accuracy in the warehouse without the costs associated with server hardware and maintenance. Additionally, the straightforward subscription-based pricing model further reduces the cost of ownership by eliminating the need for an enormous upfront investment and ensuring that there are no surprises.
"Retailers will want to implement technology now to help them get through the busiest time of year without a hitch. The Voxware Cloud VMS solution can help companies improve their warehouse speed, accuracy, and efficiency with minimal interruption," says Keith Phillips, President and CEO at Voxware.

ZDNet: Linux finds another buddy: Novell
Feb 26, 2000, 02:22 (2 Talkback[s])
(Other stories by Scott Berinato)
"After nearly two years of talk, the Provo, Utah, company plans to pull the trigger on a broad Linux strategy at its BrainShare user conference in Salt Lake City next month."
"The centerpiece will be Novell's release of NDS (Novell Directory Services) eDirectory for Linux. The company plans to open some of that code base for the Linux community under its own open-source license, according to sources familiar with the plans."
"Novell (Nasdaq:NOVL) is also developing a Linux version of its GroupWise groupware, although the product may not be ready for a BrainShare launch, sources said. Parts of that GroupWise code, along with any other Linux-based code Novell develops, will be available under Novell's open-source license, the sources added."
"Novell's endorsement will add more enterprise legitimacy to Linux by providing the open-source platform with a full-scale enterprise directory service for the first time."

480 Glendale officer suspended after punching driver during traffic stop
A Glendale police officer will be suspended for nearly a full work week after an allegation of excessive use of force during a traffic stop earlier this year.
The original recommended suspension for Officer Matthew Salyers was 40 hours, but he appealed first to the police chief and again to the City Personnel Board. Glendale City Manager Kevin Phelps made the final decision Tuesday.
Salyers' suspension goes back to a traffic stop he and his partner made in March. The driver, 57-year-old Angelo Carrillo Sr., was pulled over for failing to signal, police say.
Both officers' had body cameras that were recording.
Salyers' partner requested Carillo's driver's license. According to the police report, Carrillo said he did not have one. The officer then asked for another form of ID. Although he was required by law to show the officers his ID, he refused to.
"The driver said that he was not going to show me his ID, and said that he did not do anything wrong," Salyers' partner wrote in his report.
That's when Salyers' partner informed Carrillo, who was sitting in the running car, that he was going to be arrested. Salyers' partner was standing at the driver's side while Salyers was on the passenger side.
Police say Carrillo resisted arrest and started to struggle with Salyers' partner. That's when Salyers got into the car and "delivered closed hand strikes to Carrillo's face …."
"I could hear Officer Salyers yelling for the subject to stop resisting, and could hear what sounded like Officer Salyers delivering fist strikes to the subject," Salyers' partner wrote, explaining that Carrillo "was still resisting and fighting by trying to pull his arms away from both of us …."
Carrillo needed stitches. Salyers requested paramedics respond to take care of his injuries.
Video from Salyers' body camera shows the entire incident, which lasted less than a minute and ended with Carrillo in cuffs on the ground. Salyers got into the car on the passenger side and went all the way across to where Carrillo was sitting behind the wheel.
A few minutes after the altercation, Salyers took digital pictures of Carrillo's injuries as he sat handcuffed in the back of the patrol vehicle.

I have two recommendations to make for video games that came out in July of 1989: First Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade: The Graphic Adventure Game. First, it’s the only adventure game I’m aware of that allows you punch out Hitler at the cost of your own life. Second, it’s the bridge between the primitive adventure games of Maniac Mansion and the more advanced adventure games of The Secret of Monkey Island that Lucasfilm games would be known for when they fully transitioned to LucasArts. Secondly, to the best of my searching, the Willow Arcade game came out in American in July of 1989. This is notable because it illustrates the perils of adapting films to video games at the time. I’m sure that when Capcom bought the license to Willow arcade games they thought they would have the next Star Wars series on their hands. But due to long development times by the time they actually released the game, Willow was pretty much a faded memory. Secondly, the Willow arcade game is a really good arcade game that had RPG elements (leveling up, buying gear, etc) in an arcade game. You almost never saw that at the time and it’s an interesting Path’s Not Taken game.

My mother was a Days of our Lives superfan, that damn theme haunts my mom and reminds me of her getting home to watch a vcr recorded (later tivo) episode. I remember hating it so much, however Passions got me hooked as a 10 year old boy with its insane side plots. It became something that my family (outside of my dad who wouldnt watch “pussy soap opera shit” Sometimes my brother and I would watch the show by ourselves after am episode of Dragonball Z. I knew cousins, friends, uncles and aunts who loved the show. I eventually fell off as a tennager and my parents splitting, I still have many fond memories. 20 years later, my brother and I can still sing that damn theme song.
I just watched Weekend at Bernie’s a week or two ago and while it was worth it to me to watch it again (for example when I was 10, the 22 to 25-year-old protagonist seemed old and Bernie seemed quaie-elderly. As someone who recently hit 40 that is no longer the case) because it’s filled with nostalgia (the first quarter basically stars pre-Giuliani New York!) for me but I cannot recommend anyone under the age of 20 ever watch the film. But if you’re up for a nostalgia trip, the film though is super peak 80’s; the house, the tech (The Fumbling around with the answering machine and randomly hitting buttons to result in your voice being recorded after you already picked up is it actually fairly believable for the 1989 tech I remember) the clothes, the fashion, the music, the stereotypes (how many 80’s cliché’s can you spot in the party scene alone? I spotted; 1980’s gays, 1980’s bodybuilders, 1980’s new ager, 1980’s funny drunk, 1980’s tennis players. Virtually every character in the party scene could easily be a 1980’s costume party today) and it contains 1989’s JR’s platonic ideal of beach bikini girl. I think this is an “HBO re-watch film” in that the bulk of people who remember it watched it over and over and over again on HBO, mainly because it was on. What is the worst movie that you have seen at least ten times? Weekend at Bernie’s may be that for me.
PS. I thought there was a Friends quote about WAB that goes something like, “Anyone want to watch Weekend at Bernie’s? It’s on HBO, Cinemax and Showtime? Come on! Dead guy getting hit in the crotch thirty or forty times!” but my google fu shows nothing.
1989 JR was 100% sold on watching Lethal Weapon 2 solely based on seeing some HBO behind the scene making-of commercial in which they showed how the exploding toilet scene was done. “It’s a toilet that EXPLODES!” was all my mind could focus on. This is definitely the start of the films getting much lighter in tone though. I can’t imagine the “eating a gun” scene appearing in any of these films other than one.
Earnest Goes to Splash Mountain. I’ve heard Chris talk about this for years now. Eff it, I’m gonna watch it this week. Anyone else want to give it a view? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATiqSR8JqrA
The first episode of Seinfeld was in July of 1989 and the last episode of Night Court was in May of 1992. This means that they were contemporary shows for almost three years. “But… but… but NO!” screams my brain. “That can’t be true!” Of course one era of TV blends into another but even though I haven’t watched an episode of Seinfeld in 20 years it still seems vaguely contemporary in a way that Night Court seems equally a dinosaur from long long ago so it’s bizarre to me that they were contemporary to each other for almost three years.
So everything from Warner and NBC is going to be set up on their own streaming service? Other than The Good Place I don’t think they have a single thing I watch. One of the best non-fiction pop culture books I ever read was about the Must-See-TV period of NBC and at the tail end they had one CEO talking to his replacement and say something like, “My legacy is going to be Seinfeld, Friends, and ER. Your legacy is going to be fat people crying,” this being a reference to the new CEO’s highest rated show, “The Biggest Looser.” I wonder when, not if, but when, we’ll see one of the big four networks end.
Name your three favorite Seinfeld episodes of all time. Don’t over think it, just go!
I’m often tempted to buy used DVD collections of some of my old favorite TV shows to do a really deep dive into their commentary tracks and special features but I moved four years ago and got rid of a ton of DVD’s because I didn’t have time to watch their commentary tracks and special features back then and I’m even busier now then I was then so….. Let me live vicariously free-time billionaires! What does your DVD collection look like? What series have you done the biggest deep dive into all the special features of?
I haven’t watched Seinfeld in 20 years but I have super fond memories of it and it’s probably the only 30 year old show I’d consider doing a re-watch of. What is the oldest show you now, as of this moment, think is worth at least considering to re-watch the entire run of?
What are the best Comedians in Cars episodes of all time?
Is there a decent documentary or book about the making of Seinfeld?
My biggest memory of Mega Man 2 does not involve the game at all. In the summer of 1989 I was probably more into Nintendo than at any other time in my life. Nintendo dominated every schoolyard discussion and I was at an age when I could sit down cross legged in front of a TV and be absolutely transfixed by the incredible 8 bit graphics for hour after hour. And then that Summer I was sent to my grandmother’s for a few weeks. Without my NES. Oh, I was happy to see Grandma EO and thanks to vacations like that I got to spend time in my childhood riding horses, going camping, working on a farm, making some Native American friends (Grandma was close to a rez) and fishing in a creek. I really did all of that with her and my cousins and those times with Grandma EO were as close as anyone in the 1980’s could get to a Mark Twain-like time of childhood exploration. Looking back I wished I would have appreciated it more. But that’s 40 year old me looking back. At the time even after a day spent catching the biggest fish of my life with a grasshopper leg, a feat I was so proud of that I froze that fish and took it to show and tell for three years in a row (true story), I still urgently wished I had my NES. But while I wasn’t allowed to bring my Nintendo to Grandma’s, I was allowed to bring Nintendo Power and I can remember pouring over those magazines night after night. And none more so than the Mega Man 2 issue. I don’t think I had ever even heard of Mega Man before but I poured over map after map for hours about a game I had never played and then I imagined myself playing Mega Man 2 instead of, you know, appreciating that I was as close as I could ever hope to having a real life childhood adventure that very week. So when people say youth is wasted on the young? That. That’s the type of shit they mean when they say that.
What is the best example of NES game music re-mixed?
It’s funny Sarah mentioned Alyson Hannigan’s voice. I’ve been rewatching Veronica Mars and she pops up in one episode in season one (after Buffy ended) and another in season two (after Mother started) and I noticed her voice changed between them. Seems she used the cutesy voice more in Buffy (and much more in American Pie) than Mother and now I don’t know if I actually know what she sounds like. Everything has been a lie!
Sebastian Moreno says:
I hate I Love You, Beth Cooper. I watched for two reasons. One, if it’s worse than another Chris Columbus film i.e. Pixels. Two, because of Mathew Buck (Film Brain) saw it and hated it. And I can see why.
Like, Paul Rust played an extremely unlikable dude. Very entitled, creepy, I don’t find him charming. Two, the bad jokes. The poor executions of dark humor which comes off as mean spirited and the offensive gay jokes. Like, why the constant if it matters the guys best friend is gay or not. And the constant pressure from every character to force him to come out of closet, just, gah.
There are ways to certain jokes right. I refer to Bad Santa as an example. At least what jokes it had were in purpose because everyone was fucked up on purpose. I Love You, Beth Cooper does not have that excuse. I hated everybody! What kills me though is that Chris Columbus hates this movie himself. Apparently David O. Russell was supposed to direct. Yeah, THAT dude. The Silver Linings Playbook dude! But he left and Columbus took over at the eleventh hour.
And I completely get why. You like it, Sarah, fine, not judging you. For me, it’s just so repulsive to watch.
I remember the night Michael Jackson died, “Bruno” was on Conan’s Tonight Show. I think Conan’s show taped at like 6pm Western time, so by then everybody knew he died. So everybody feels weird, and out comes effin’ Bruno being gross n shit.
…I had a book and tape [or record] set around 1989-ish, that I’m pretty sure mom bought me at Phar-Mor, that was Peter Rabbit and the Tar Baby. I was six, and didn’t understand the wrongness of the tar baby.
Compared to the rest of Jerry’s girlfriends, Laura was ooof. So homely. It’s crazy how we saw the Seinfeld pilot, and we didn’t get regular Seinfeld for nearly another year, May 31, 1990, that would never happen today. My first Seinfeld was the one with Elaine’s dad and Jerry’s jacket getting damaged, late summer of 1991.
I was ok with that poor editing in the beginning of 1999 segment b/c it was about jerry.
I remember thinking that Jason Biggs was so cute around that time, and 20 years later, and I’m like why.
I used to love Good Eats, but I kinda got tired of Alton’s know-it-all attitude, and I feel like he kinda looks down on his fans too. Emeril’s live show was gaining heat around this time in ’99 too.
I just remember about the sy-fy renaming was that someone on like, televison without pity mistook it for the word “stir fry”.
Moleman In The Morning says:
Good Moleman to you,
Bringing up Moon reminded me of a night when my gf was out of town, and I decided to do a double feature of Moon and Ryan Reynolds’ Buried. Unfortunately, when I went to go microwave some popcorn, I realize that I was all out. Being a small canadian city, grocery stores were all closed at 1:30 in the morning, so my only choice was the gas station a few blocks away.
Now, we’d just recently had an ice storm, and the sidewalks were a solid sheet of ice, and ontop of that, the gas station was up a hill. It took me about a half hour to walk what would have normally taken 5 min.
So I get there, and I cannot find any microwave popcorn. After about 5 min of me scouring the small area where it should be, I hear the small woman maning the station by herself hesitantly ask, “can I help you find something?”. I say I’m looking for microwave popcorn, and she comes over and pulls out a pack from what I can only assume is a pocket dimension, since I hadn’t seen it at all.
As I buy it and am leaving, I hear I somewhat relieved sigh from behind me. I realize while sliding home, that she must have been terrified of the 6’6 scruffy looking behemoth walking into her business at 2am on a dead silent night and staring at the snacks like I was Jason Voorhees.
I went home and had a lovely night watching the movies, and feeling terrible for scaring her so badly.
Great ep as per the norm
I do have to say how much I hate American Pie , and its a legit dislike
soooo story time
I went to a buddy’s house to spend the night , we were playing video games, my folks went to the movies to see American Pie as per the sugestion of my buddy who then worked at a movie theater, so we were playing WCW/NWO Revenge, my mom calls up and said how much they loved the movie , and when she got home she was going to bake me an apple pie… me having not seen the movie was clueless, my buddy then told me about the pie scene and i was so upset almost threw up as i can loudly hear my folks laughing, It was a sick joke, then when it came to VHS i reneted it …and i just couldnt enjoy it as i ddidnt find it funny one bit …however Eugene Levy makes everything funny, and I love Tara Reid as bland as she is.
love both Weekend at Bernie movies, Reno 911 is top notch , Bruno sux as I dislike Sacha Baron Cohen i stood and cheered durin Sweeny Todd when he was killed, hes never been for me
but this was a fun 30/20/10 i adore this show, keep up the grerat work , my podcast does the same sometimes but we take 1 full year ( starting in 1990) and run down bits of what happened in pop culture,movies, tech and tv but we deep dive into what was going on in the video game world at that time

English Premier League 2018-19: Jurgen Klopp Vows Liverpool Won't Be Haunted by Chelsea Ghosts
Agency News PTI| Apr 13, 2019 12:56 PM IST
Jurgen Klopp (Photo Credit: PTI)
Liverpool, April 13: Jurgen Klopp says Liverpool will not be haunted by their Premier League title collapse five years ago when they face Chelsea in another seismic showdown on Sunday. Liverpool are chasing their first English top-flight title since 1990. A victory over the Blues at Anfield would be a big step toward that dream. But Chelsea stirs some extremely unpleasant memories for everyone connected with the Premier League leaders.
Back in 2014, Liverpool, then managed by Brendan Rodgers, sat top of the table when they were beaten 2-0 by Chelsea at Anfield in a match made famous by a costly slip from Steven Gerrard that gifted a goal to Demba Ba.
That painful loss came at a similar stage of the campaign and current title rivals Manchester City went on to lift the trophy by two points.
With Liverpool sitting two points clear of City, who have a game in hand, there is just as much at stake for the Reds in their latest meeting with Chelsea. Few Liverpool players remain from that game and Klopp is adamant that past failures will be a burden for this generation.
"I'm not sure that's in anyone's mind. You can tell all the fans out there to ignore it. It has nothing to do with us. It is a completely different story," Klopp said. "It's all about the game on Sunday. Anyone who wants to talk to any of my players about what happened years ago, don't do it. We want to write our own history. It Was Not Nerves, Says Liverpool Coach Jurgen Klopp After Draw With West Ham United.
"I'm not nervous. I feel the intensity of the competition, but we see the positivity of the moment. "We want to make the next step because it's not over yet. We try to encourage them to play 'big balls' football. We will make mistakes and we have to deal with them."
For all Klopp's optimism, Liverpool have not beaten Chelsea at Anfield in their past eight encounters, a barren run that includes a 2-1 League Cup defeat this season inspired by Eden Hazard's superb late winner. Klopp is well aware of the threat posed by Hazard, who is in fine form after scoring sublime goals against West Ham and Brighton recently.
- 'Big targets' -
"Hazard is in very good shape. On his day he can be the world's best," he said. "In a one-on-one situation you can't defend him. If he plays his best game we have to live with that. "But he has to play against us as well. We have to stop a few passes to him, read the game and react a bit quicker."
By the time Liverpool kick off on Sunday, they will find themselves knocked down to second place if City win at Crystal Palace a few hours earlier. But if City slip up in south London, Liverpool can stretch their lead by beating Chelsea in the last major obstacle on their road to the title, with four eminently winnable games remaining.
"We have to create the power of Anfield and use it," Klopp said. "We have only big games now. We have really big targets, that is clear. We have to fight for it."
Chelsea are determined to spoil Liverpool's title ambitions again as they cling to third place in a tense struggle to qualify for the Champions League via a top four finish. Liverpool Coach Jurgen Klopp Defends Alisson Transfer Fee.
Blues captain Cesar Azpilicueta played in the 2014 upset in a team that included current Liverpool star Mohamed Salah, who was given extra motivation to beat his old club when a group of Chelsea supporters were filmed chanting racist abuse the about Egyptian in midweek.
"It was a few years ago, but we went there and they had the party ready because they were smashing every team at Anfield," Azpilicueta said.
"We enjoyed that day and hopefully we can replicate it on Sunday."

You Know You Are Trio Paso Obsessed When...
Photo Courtesy of ABC
The Paso Trio. The Trio Paso. The non-Paso according to Grumpy Len. Clearly, he wasn't paying attention. Whatever you want to call it, it was kind of a masterpiece, and a big part of that masterpiece was due to the energy brought by Tristan to the number along with the chemistry he had with Kellie and Derek. It was believable, passionate, intense, dark, and sexy as hell, and yes, we admit to being a little obsessed by it. And in true MacManus style, it told a story. Granted, Derek created the story, but it's questionable if it would have been told so well without our favorite leading man bringing his presence to the stage.
So we decided we are both a little bit obsessed with this dance - to the extent that we decided that it made sense to tell you all about that. Therefore, we give you "Ten Reasons Why You Know You're Obsessed with the Paso Trio" - SWAT and Shakes style.
1. You can’t get these words out of your head – and you remember the exact time they were spoken about the Paso Doble: “It’s about being as big as possible…and about kicking as much...ass as possible.” The Trio Paso was definitely a déjà vu moment. When Tristan said those prophetic words to Nancy Grace, we had no idea how appropriate they would be in Season 16. Anybody want to argue about the kicking ass stuff that went on Week 8, Season 16?
2. Instead of humming “Don’t Worry, Be Happy” by Bobby McFerrin, you happily hum (and whistle) “Unstoppable” by E. S. Posthumus. There’s nothing like a pounding, driving rhythm to say, “Good morning everybody. Lovely day, isn’t it? Want syrup or strawberries on your waffles?”
3. You don’t even have to think about the theme, the story, the characters, or the plot. Ladies and Gentleman, this was a story of danger, passion, intensity, and maybe just a little (or a lot) of lust. Not that I would ever think about lust and naughty things like that in terms of a dance. Nope. Not me.
4. You stand in front of your mirror for an indecently long time just thinking that at any time now that sucker is going to splinter apart and Tristan MacManus is going to step through and whisk you off to the dark underworld where who knows what will happen. I’m sure a dark underworld has an upside…
5. You are considering wearing only black from now on.
6. The words “Welcome. Come on into me world” have taken on a whole new meaning.
7. You wouldn’t mind dancing with Derek as long as Tristan was involved. In fact, it might be kind of hot.
8. You wouldn't mind dancing with Kellie as long was Tristan was involved. What the heck. It’s time to be wild and crazy for once.
9. After seeing the darkness of the “other side” you have a whole new respect for “The Devil Went Down To Georgia.” Mephistopheles returned but with a new kind of hotness minus the excessive makeup but with the guyliner and the smoldering dark contact lenses that make the female hormones do interesting things. Talk about loving the bad boys.
10. You told your husband that from now on when you watch DWTS you expect for your entire family room to be filled with fog. Just for atmosphere. Besides, in this little fantasy world you never know who might appear out of the fog.
1.The word “stalk” no longer pertains to obsessed jilted ex-lovers or green vegetables. It now is synonymous with Tristan MacManus and all of that machismo.
2.“Unstoppable” by E.S. Posthumus has now become your anthem. Not only is it the first thing you hear in your head every morning, but it's also on your iPod as your workout music. Forget “Eye of the Tiger” and pretending you are training for a marathon. “Unstoppable” gives you that epic “I'm running into battle with my sword of truth” kind of feeling....very inspirational...or crazy...whichever.
3.You realize the naked truth about your possible addictive tendencies that may have never surfaced until now.“ Just one more time” does you no good when you spend your entire evening wearing down your computer fan while watching the Paso over and over and over.
4. We realize that for such a sweet, lovable guy, Tristan really is the best at playing a true “Bad Boy” to the fullest. Generally I'm all for using “The Force” for the good of mankind and all that...but um....if Tristan has anything to do with the dark side, well then I only have one thing to say. Sign. Me. Up.
5. You're secretly hoping that your makeup mirror falls off of the counter and smashes so Evil Tristan will pop out and exclaim “Welcome. Come on into me world”. And they say breaking a mirror was seven years bad luck. Come to think of it seven is also Tristan's lucky number.
6. Tristan and those damn little details really have a big impact on you. The way he uses his hands to create just that extra bit of artistic macabre. The strength of his posture yet the darkness of his demeanor as he approaches Derek as they come through the mirror. It's pure, dark perfection.
7. You strain your eyes way to hard trying to envision what Tristan is doing when he goes off to the side for Kellie and Derek's dance. He backs off of the set so smoothly and then reappears as if he never left his stance in the first place. Is he just standing there on the sidelines still in character and waiting to stalk his prey - or what? I want to know.
8. Tristan is the King of the Trio dance, the Paso Doble, and the Guyliner. He's also the King of Darkness in this dance, and he also just happens to also be the Lord High Executioner of Bedhead....uh....I just need some sleep.
9. You're waiting for Kellie to come to her senses during the dance and let the Irish Prince of Black Contact Lenses overcome her and leave Derek to wander around in the fog all by himself.
10. You still - even after watching the freakin' thing on You Tube at least 100 times - sit there will your mouth hanging open because you still have no words to describe how it makes you feel. A drool bucket helps in this case. Remember we have some sparkly green ones in stock for dire times like these.
The End. You're probably happy about that, too, but don't worry, we'll be back soon with more ridiculousness.
Kellan
There are some epic moments in this one. I had to smile at the images of the fog creeping into your family room, the constant replay of this dance, those darn contact lenses. Nice job again.
NJA
That song is very much addictive. I don't think I had ever heard it before last Monday and now it won't go out of my head. Great post, S and S.

Founders Matthew Malin and Andrew Goetz talk about how science and sustainability influence all parts of their modern apothecary brand, from the design of their minimalist packaging to the interior of their newest store.
Q: What is your green philosophy?
A: "We have always focused our efforts on natural ingredients-those tried and true ingredients that you would have found in an apothecary more than 100 years ago. Today, technology and modern science allow us to manipulate pure ingredients, like peppermint oil and lavender, so they perform better and won't irritate sensitive skin. So essentially, we combine the best from nature and technology to create the most effective products."
Q: Where do your ingredients come from?
A: "We do our best to source the finest-grade, highest-level and most cutting-edge ingredients locally or as close to New York, our home base, as possible. In doing so, we support our community and lessen our carbon footprint."
Q: Do you use parabens or chemical preservatives?
A: "Currently, our products are free of parabens. We strive to use naturally-derived preservatives that maximize a product's shelf life and protect it from any potentially harmful bacteria and fungus that can easily be introduced by a dirty finger."
Q: What else have you eliminated from your formulas?
A: "Since we began, we have always avoided potential irritants, including waxes, silicones, and traditional oils-ingredients that clog pores and sit on the surface of the skin where they never fully penetrate and often attract dirt. We also don't use harsh detergents, colorants, dyes and synthetic perfumes, or even sunscreens in creams as these substances can cause irritation. We do offer sunscreens for individuals who choose to use them"
Q: What is the shelf life of your products?
A: "A minimum of two years when stored at room temperature and tightly sealed in between applications. Our paraben-free preservative system wards off any fungus or bacteria naturally, so you don't have to keep your (MALIN + GOETZ) products in the refrigerator to maintain shelf life."
Q: How does your packaging reflect your green philosophy?
A: "Since the launch of our business, we have purposefully used as little packaging as possible, and only the kind that is recyclable. This is not only eco-friendly, but it also eliminates costs associated with excessive manufacturing. We appreciate the clean, simple, classic lines of our bottles, which are produced locally, and recall the look of chemists' from a century ago."
Q: What else have you done to reduce your carbon footprint?
A: "In addition to our ingredients, we work with local manufacturers to create our formulas and thereby lessen our carbon footprint by not needing to shipping across large distances. Our manufacturers are in nearby Connecticut, New Jersey, and Long Island, New York. Our second Manhattan store on West 82nd Street and Amsterdam Avenue in New York was built with wood reclaimed from a Long Island Gold Coast mansion that had been demolished. We were lucky to salvage some beautiful French carved oak panels and reinterpret them in a fresh modern way for our chic apothecary."
Q: Are all products 100% recyclable?
A: "Of course. All of our packaging is recyclable, and most is biodegradable. We recommend taking your empties to a recycling center, or you can drop them off at any of our two stores in Manhattan and we'll do it for you."
Q: Do you test on animals?
A: "We have never tested on animals and do not plan to ever do so. We are pretty big dog-lovers. In fact, a whole portion of our website is dedicated to our ‘Product Hounds' or our customer's best friends. Of course, our mascots, Bob and Junior are there, too."
Q: What is the difference between natural and organic, and which best describes your brand?
A: "There is a lot of debate today on what exactly constitutes natural versus organic. We consider ourselves to be natural, since we start with the most trusted natural ingredients and enhance their performance without relying on unnecessary chemicals or preservatives that could potentially harm you and the environment."

Market-based policies work to fight climate change, from India to Jamaica
The economic foundation at the heart of conservative political philosophy is that markets are the best way to allocate the bulk of society's resources.
That faith in markets explains the Republican Party's preference for, say, private medical insurance over a government-run American health system. And it informs their push to loosen regulations that have governed big banks since the 2009 financial crisis.
This emphasis on markets is also on display in many policies that conservative parties across the globe are enacting to address climate change. Climate change may be a partisan issue in the United States, but numerous surveys of other countries reveal that tackling climate change is not incompatible with conservative principles.
Conservative governments with a strong climate record
Across Europe, Conservatives have gotten behind cap and trade, a market-based system for reducing carbon emissions.
The European Emission Trading system, passed by the European Commission in 2005 with support across the ideological spectrum, sets limits on the continent's annual carbon emissions. Companies that pollute more may purchase carbon rights from those who find innovative ways to reduce their own emissions, capping total pollution while giving individual firms the freedom to buy and sell their share.
The cap-and-trade strategy was first put into practice in the United States in 1990, under President George Bush, to combat acid rain.
In Germany, an industrial powerhouse, Chancellor Angela Merkel of the center-right Christian Democratic party, has strongly supported a comprehensive climate law that would combine cap and trade, tax incentives for renewable energy and major investments in energy efficiency.
To be fair, the political spectrum in Europe skews left. But conservatives in more right-leaning countries are fighting climate change, too.
India's hard-right Prime Minister Narendra Modi - leader of the world's largest democracy - is a strong proponent of renewable energy. While his administration maintains support for the coal industry, solar production is set to increase five-fold in India by 2022.
And Chilean President Sebastian Pinera, who holds strong conservative views on many social issues, has nonetheless embraced some of the most stringent climate goals in Latin America.
According to the Climate Action Tracker, which monitors countries' progress toward reducing carbon emissions, Chile will generate 65% of its electricity from renewable energy by 2035, and has imposed strict new energy efficiency standards on manufacturing, mining and transportation.
In Jamaica, the Labour Party - the island's conservative party - has endorsed a new "climate accelerator." Backed by billionaire Richard Branson and the Inter-American Development Bank, the initiative aims to make this vulnerable region more resilient by attracting financing to scale up renewable energy, build low-carbon infrastructure and increase investments in green technology.
Climate change is a market failure
I am an environmental economist, but it doesn't require advanced training in economics to recognize the basic principles underlying all these conservative-backed environmental policies.
The first is conservative faith that financial markets can adapt and innovate to address today's climate challenge.
There's evidence for this belief. Renewable power - which was economically unviable just a decade ago - is so affordable now because governments and companies around the world have invested immensely in solar and wind. What is expensive today can be made cheap tomorrow if governments put the right incentives in place.
The second basis for the climate policies conservatives worldwide support is an understanding that, under certain circumstances, markets can and do fail.
Markets function properly only under certain conditions.
First, the harmful impacts of producing a given good - which economists call "negative externalities" - cannot hurt anyone other than the producers and consumers of that good. There must also be clear and enforceable property rights over every good in the marketplace.
When these bedrock principles are violated, market breakdown ensues.
Take air pollution, for example. When a chemical factory that produces a cleaning product releases toxic fumes, the cost of that pollution - the negative externality - is not borne exclusively by the buyer or seller of that product. Everyone who inhales the fumes suffers.
Yet because no one owns the "property rights" to the atmosphere, no one can hold the chemical factory or its clients legally responsible for contaminated air.
This is market failure. And in the environmental realm, it is the norm.
Every coal plant or natural gas field that emits the greenhouse gases that drives climate change free of charge is violating the fundamental principle of well-functioning markets.
Policies like Europe's cap and trade system or Britain's carbon tax, which will soon require companies pay a fee for every unit of pollution they emit, are designed to fix this problem.
Global outliers
Not all conservatives embrace market-based environmental policies, of course.
Republicans in the U.S. voted overwhelmingly against a proposed carbon tax in 2016. Then-House Majority Whip Steve Scalise said it would be "detrimental to American families and businesses."
Australia's conservative party, which won a surprise victory in May's national election, is propelling the country backwards on climate. A few years ago, they repealed a 2010 carbon tax. Now the country's new prime minister, Scott Morrison, is reducing the emission-reduction target Australia signed onto in the Paris climate accords and renewing his government's commitment to the coal industry.
Brazil's far-right President Jair Bolsonaro, too, has rolled back his country's strict environmental regulations. That's left the Amazon rainforest open to deforestation and fire.
The current governments of the United States, Australia and Brazil are global outliers who defy overwhelming basic economics and overwhelming scientific evidence that climate change is one of the gravest risks facing humanity.
From Jamaica to India, rightist leaders have shown confidence that with the right incentives companies can and will innovate to transform the economy in a more sustainable direction.

Atrial Fibrillation is an abnormal rhythm or quivering of the heart caused by irregular beating of the atria. This condition of heart can lead to stroke, blood clots, heart failure and other heart related issues. The symptoms include fainting, chest pain, shortness of breath and heart palpitations.
Atrial fibrillation, if left untreated doubles the risk of heart related deaths and stokes in humans. Treatment for atrial fibrillation includes rhythm control, heart rate control, preventing heart failure and blood clots. But treatment and medication doesn’t work in all cases. In that case, surgical procedure is conducted to destroy the heart tissue in the area that is causing erratic electrical signals and restore the heart to a normal rhythm either by using catheters or during an open heart surgery.
Growing number of atrial fibrillation cases all over the globe is the major factor driving this market. Lower treatment costs and reimbursement policies are expected to drive the market. Favourable regulations and increasing preference for surgeries are also driving the market. However, lack of awareness about surgeries or health risks posed by atrial fibrillation among the people suffering from the issue and availability of several pharmaceutical alternatives are restraining the market.

American Express to restate 04, 05 results; no earnings hit
Published: Apr 6, 2006 6:54 a.m. ET
LONDON (MarketWatch) -- American Express Co. AXP, +0.74% said it's restating 2004 and 2005 results for reclassifications of certain revenue, expense items. American Express said the move won't hurt earnings in those years, but the revised figures reduce 2005 revenue by $199 million and reduce 2004 revenue by $67 million. Expenses fall by the same amounts. The changes, which will be reflected in results starting in 2006, are due to changes including having certain fee payments to Corporate Card clients and Global Network Services joint venture partners as reductions to discount revenue, previously classified as increases to other expenses.

US Stocks Close Modestly Higher As Euro-Zone Worries Ease
By Donna Kardos
Published: Jan 11, 2011 4:17 p.m. ET
DonnaKardos
NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- U.S. stocks rose Tuesday as worries over euro-zone debt eased, although a shaky start to the earnings season limited the climb.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average advanced 34.43 points, or 0.30%, to 11671.88. Hewlett-Packard was among the measure's best performers, up 1.3%, after UBS raised its rating on the stock to "buy" from "neutral."
But Alcoa declined 1%. The aluminum giant kicked off the earnings-reporting season with a swing to a fourth-quarter profit on rising demand and prices for aluminum, but its sales growth wasn't as strong as expected.
The Dow was also weighed down by its telecommunications components, with Verizon Communications down 1.6% and AT&T off 1.5%. The slump came as Verizon Wireless unwrapped its version of Apple's iPhone, ending AT&T's exclusive hold over the blockbuster smartphone.
The Nasdaq Composite rose 9.03, or 0.33%, to 2716.83. The Standard & Poor's 500 index added 4.73, or 0.37%, to 1274.48, with its energy sector leading the advance as crude-oil futures topped $91 a barrel. Among the sector's gainers, Chevron climbed 1.6% and Halliburton added 3.2%.
Tuesday's stock gains came as investors were encouraged to see the European Central Bank step in to buy under-pressure euro-area government bonds for the second consecutive day. Also, Japanese Finance Minister Yoshihiko Noda said Tokyo may buy more than 20% of the securities issued by the European Financial Stability Facility in its initial round. The announcement follows reports that China is ready to buy 4 billion euros to 5 billion euros of Portuguese debt.
"The news today was good in that it's not just the Europeans on their own that are dealing with it, that there are other nations in the world -- the Japanese today -- that realize it's not in their interest to have this situation get worse," said Aaron Gurwitz, chief investment officer at Barclays Wealth. "It looks like Europe will manage to muddle through these problems."
Earlier in the session, U.S. stock indexes had been up more on the easing euro-zone concerns. Traders said stocks pared their gains in part because investors began getting jittery about leaving some of their bigger bets in the market ahead of an expected snowstorm.
"People are just taking profits because they're not going to come in tomorrow," said Dave Rovelli, managing director of U.S. Equity Trading at Canaccord Adams.
Among stocks in focus, Supervalu tumbled 12%. The supermarket company swung to a fiscal third-quarter loss as it posted $252 million of write-downs and weaker sales and margins. The company cut its full-year guidance and issued current-quarter estimates below analysts' views.
Talbots lost 17%. The women's apparel retailer reduced its fiscal fourth-quarter earnings estimate on worse-than-expected preliminary sales figures, owing to a dropoff that began in the second half of December.
Sears Holdings jumped 6.3%. The retailer projected fourth-quarter earnings above analysts' expectations, though it also said its domestic same-store sales continued to decline during December.

Sheraton Princess Kaiulani Prepares to Unveil Te Moana Nui Dinner Show
When the curtain is raised on Friday, August 28, the Te Moana Nui Polynesian show at the Sheraton Princess Kaiulani will feature enhanced costumes and choreography, even a customized number for the hotel – a tribute to Princess Kaiulani, as well as an upgraded dinner buffet at Pikake Terrace.
The hotel has renewed its partnership with Hawaii’s premier entertainment company, Tihati Productions, to bring back a signature Polynesian show to the hotel.
Te Moana Nui, which is scheduled to be in the Ainahau Showroom on Sundays, Wednesdays and Fridays, takes guests on a Polynesian journey where the history and culture of the Pacific come alive.
Te Moana Nui brings to life stories of the Pacific Islands and her people. The dinner and stage show will allow visitors to experience the sights, sounds and traditions of Hawaii, told as never before.
Complementing Tihati’s modernizations to the show, Sheraton Princess Kaiulani Chef Chris Kirksey is introducing a new menu at Pikake Terrace on August 28.
The upgraded buffet begins with an assortment of chilled items such as sushi rolls, ahi poke, lomi lomi salmon, ginger and shoyu-marinated tofu, peel ‘n eat shrimp, a salad bar with a variety of toppings, and tropical fruits.
Hot items include rosemary salt crusted prime rib with au jus and horseradish, steamed crab legs, huli huli chicken, kalua pork, seared Korean-style beef, grilled mahi mahi, vegetables, Okinawan sweet potato and steamed rice.
Dessert selections include tropical fruits with haupia, coconut mousse with macadamia nuts, passion fruit cake, chocolate banana bread pudding and a build-your-own sundae bar.
“Te Moana Nui is more than just a dinner and a show – it’s an experience that allows our visitors to be fully immersed in Hawaii’s distinctive culture, through cuisine, song and dance,” said Fred Orr, general manager, Sheraton Princess Kaiulani.
“Many of our visitors remark to us that our history sets Hawaii apart from the rest of the world, and we thought that Te Moana Nui would be the perfect venue to share our culture.”
The hotel was home to “Creation, A Polynesian Journey,” a Tihati-produced show which enjoyed a long, successful run in the Ainahau Showroom for nearly three decades.
“It feels like a homecoming for all of us at Tiahti Productions,” said Afatia Thompson, president, Tihati Productions.
“Our ohana feels very at home at the Sheraton Princess Kaiulani and the Ainahau Showroom and we look forward to telling the great stories of our islands in a place we call home.”
Dinner and show cost $105 per adult and $78.75 for children ages 5 to 12. For the cocktail show, the cost is $60 per person, and $45 for children between the ages of 5 and 12. Prices include tax and gratuity.
The Sheraton Princess Kaiulani is also offering a deluxe dinner and show package, which includes a plated prime rib dinner and table service, as well as a mixed cocktail.

Springfield Installs First Bike Lanes
MassBike's work in Springfield is paying off! Over the weekend, Springfield installed its first continuous bike lane in the city on Plumtree Road, in the East Forest Park neighborhood. The striped bike lane is one mile long and provides a connection from Western New England University to destinations such as Sixteen Acres Center, a commercial district with restaurants and shopping, and a number of parks and ponds.
Last month, MassBike and the City of Springfield hosted a public meeting and information session to give neighborhood residents the opportunity to learn more about the bike lane project on Plumtree Road. It proved to be a productive meeting, and the end result is the implementation of a quality bicycle facility—the first of its kind—in the City of Springfield.
This exciting project would not be possible without the leadership of two key individuals: Al Chwalek, Executive Engineer of Springfield Department of Public Works, and Chris Cignoli, Springfield's City Engineer.
This work has been made possible through MassBike’s involvement in Live Well Springfield, a coalition of community organizations, including Partners for a Healthier Community, the Pioneer Valley Planning Commission, and the City of Springfield. The city's first bike lane is a direct result of that work. Read more about our efforts here.

Heavy Duty - Over 15,000 kg
Denso Marston Eliminate Fork Lift Truck Use With Trolley Handling Tug
Thermal cooling systems manufacturer Denso Marston has invested in an electric trolley handling tug as part of a drive to improve health and safety measures on the factory floor at its UK facility in Shipley.
The move, part of a global programme initiated by parent company Denso Corporation, has completely eliminated the need for fork lift trucks in an area of the factory where pedestrian activity is high.
“Our operation has evolved, and is undergoing a process of change in terms of creating a safer working environment” explain Denso Marston’s HSE Officer Graham Baldwin.
“The decision to address our handling equipment has been part of a bigger picture to remove fork lifts from all production areas, so as to create a safer working environment for our valued workforce.”
The electric tug has been put to work within Denso Marston’s Press Shop department, where press tools and waste materials need to be transferred within a restricted working area.
Graham says more: “The logistics of the area where handling equipment is needed requires a flexible piece of kit. In addition to health and safety considerations, we needed a device than can easily move a load up to 5,000 kg as well as operate within small turning circles.”
MasterMover recommended its MT10/560 MasterTug to fulfil Denso’s handling requirements. Pedestrian-operated, the MasterTug range generates all the traction it needs using a coupling system, which transfers load weight to a drive wheel to create an effective and easily operable piece of machinery. The MT10/560 can manoeuvre loads up to 5,600 kg on castors, or 22,400 kg on rails, and significantly improves safety in a pedestrianised working environment.
Andy Owen, MasterMover MD explains more: “We designed the MasterTug as a solution that has the capability to increase productivity and reduce manual handling. It’s a powerful, compact tug that’s very simple to use. It heightens personal safety and significantly reduces the risk of accidents in the workplace.”
Graham again: “The tug has met all our expectations, both operationally and with regard to health and safety.
"In fact, we’ve been so impressed that we plan to review the tug’s suitability for use in other production and logistical departments with a mind to purchase further machines.”
Medium Range - Electric Tugs To Move Up To 6,000 kg

Nick Minaj Featured on DJ Mustard’s “Don’t Hurt Me” — Best Lyrics and Where to Listen
By Tom Barnes
Nicki Minaj has taken a bit of a step back from music since dropping The Pinkprint back in 2014. But, when confronted with the right track, she's found the time to drop some bars every now and then.
Thursday, Queen Minaj appeared on DJ Mustard's newly released "Don't Hurt Me" alongside R&B singer Jeremih.
Over two verses, a pre-hook and a hook she offers up the latest in a long line of Minaj sexual innuendos, relaying how she just wants to get her "cake ate." She also drops some bars about the current NBA Finals matchup, showing some respect for LeBron James and the Cavaliers: "Even if you was Curry, bitch, there's still a LeBron."
Minaj's fans have been eating up every word.
Weaves off to the Queen.
Currently, the track is only available in full via Tidal, but you can listen to Minaj's verses isolated below, courtesy of @NickiLatestNews.

More people are happily living alone so how did I get lumbered with this lot?
Mirror columnist Fiona Phillips on the growing number of people living the single life, whether attached or not - and how jealous she is of them

Having, over the years, tried to convince long-term boyfriends that the secret of exciting, long-lasting relationships is never to live together, I am rather smugly satisfied to see that others have finally caught up with my once ground-breaking theory.
It seems I was not alone, after all, in believing that the slow descent of a passionate love affair from luscious liaisons to lardy bellies, once-a-week baths and wearing of novelty slippers, breeds contempt.
Living alone is now one of the fastest-growing social trends, the news of which has slightly irked me because I seem to have somehow acquired a husband , two children and a mortgage on a family house along the way.
This, however, has only served to strengthen my belief in the eternal excitement of living alone.
It doesn’t mean I want to leave my husband and children. In fact, in typically unselfish and thoughtful fashion, I want life to be more exciting for them.
For instance, if they lived in a separate abode, they would not be subjected to my continual drive for orderliness and help with mind-numbingly mundane household chores, and I would never have to pick up a wet towel, stray underpants or sort wandering socks into pairs ever again.
The habitual annoyance over my husband’s very presence would be transformed into the breathless anticipation of dressing up for weekly candlelight suppers in his new abode.
The children could flit between the two pads, knowing we’re all more together when we’re more apart.
The theory is that there are now more people living solo in their 40s and 50s because they’ve either dumped an unsuitable partner or are waiting for the right ‘One’ to come along.
I don’t think that’s necessarily true for everyone. There are people who’d rather live with a nightly dose of The One Show viewed solo than with the tired routine of putting up with the ‘The One’ for ever.
There’s far less stigma attached to being single than there used to be, so fewer of us feel pressured into the quest for permanent coupledom.
Some people just don’t want to live with other people. They never did believe the happily ever after fairy tale and they’re increasingly not prepared to live the lie.
The actress Helena Bonham Carter and movie director Tim Burton, who have two children and live in separate houses, are proof that the only way is not necessarily ethics based on a 1950s dream of happy families.
They’ve been happily together, but apart, for 13 years.
What’s that? They’ve split up? He’s been seeing someone else? And it’s rumoured she has too? Oh.

What do you mean by the 'stomatal apparatus'?
Stomatal apparatus refers to the stomata along with its nearby guard cells and other associated cells.
What are the main organs of the respiratory system?
The main organs of the human respiratory system are nostrils, trachea, bronchi and lungs.
What happens during cellular respiration?
During cellular respiration, the food is broken down in presence of oxygen into carbon dioxide and water to give energy.
Why does the breathing becomes faster while doing exercise?
Breathing becomes faster during exercise because more oxygen is inhaled and supplied to the cells. This increases the rate of breakdown of food and gives more energy that is needed for exercise.

Trace the path of oxygen in humans during respiration by filling in the blanks with the main organs of the respiratory system: Nostrils and nasal cavity →__________ → __________ → lungs → __________ → __________ → cells
Path of oxygen in humans during respiration:
Nostrils and nasal cavity → pharynx → trachea and bronchi → lungs → bronchioles and alveoli → blood → cells.
The substance present in blood which transpotrs oxygen is _________
The substance present in blood which transports oxygen is haemoglobin.
What chemical reaction occurs during anaerobic respiration in yeast?
The chemical reaction that occurs during anaerobic respiration in yeast is:
Glucose →No Oxygen Alcohol + Carbon dioxide + Energy
An athlete suffers from muscular cramps while running a race. How can you help him overcome the cramps?
The cramps can be overcome by massaging the affected part or having hot water bath. These methods increase the blood circulation and the supply of oxygen in the body.
Name and explain in one sentence each, the two main processes of respiration.
The two main processes of respiration are as follows:
Breathing or external respiration: This is the process of taking in oxygen-rich air and giving out carbon dioxide-rich air.
Cellular respiration or internal respiration: This is the process of breakdown of food in the presence of oxygen into carbon dioxide and water to release energy.
How does exchange of gases occur in the following:
(a) fish
(b) cockroach
(a) Fish: The exchange of gases in fishes takes place through gills. Gills have large number of filaments supplied with thin blood capillaries. Water enters through the mouth and passes over the gills. Oxygen is absorbed by blood in the capillaries and carbon dioxide is given out through its walls.
(b) Cockroach: The exchange of gases takes place through spiracles. Oxygen-rich air enters the body through spiracles and reaches all parts of the body via trachea (respiratory tube). Trachea is further branched into tracheoles.
How do the nostrils contribute to the process of breathing?
When we breathe in air, it passes through our nostrils. The slimy mucus present in it moistens the air. The inner lining of nose secretes mucus. The blood circulating in the nose makes the air warm. The mucus and hair present in the nostril catch the dirt, dust and disease-causing germs. Thus, they cannot enter respiratory system.
Draw a labelled diagram of the apparatus you will use to show that heat is produced during respiration in seeds. Why are two flasks used in the experiment?
Two flasks are used in the experiment (one containing the germinating seeds and other containing the boiled seeds) to show that heat is produced during respiration. Respiration occurs in germinating seeds, but not in boiled seeds. The thermometer inserted in the flask containing germinating seeds shows higher temperature than the one inserted in the flask containing boiled seeds. This shows heat is produced during respiration.
What happens to the air breathed in, once it reaches the lungs?
Once the air is breathed in, it reaches the lungs and passes in to bronchioles (small tubes). At the end of bronchioles, tiny air sacs called alveoli are present. Air from bronchioles reaches the alveoli. Alveoli are surrounded by blood vessels. Here, exchange of gases between blood and air sacs takes place. The oxygen present in the breathed air enters the blood present in blood vessels and carbon dioxide present in the blood goes out into the alveoli. Thus, exchange of gases takes place in the air once it reaches the lungs.
Explain, with the help of a diagram, the structure of human lungs, and how exchange of gases occurs in the lungs.
Human lungs consist of small tubes, bronchioles and tiny air sacs known as alveoli (about 300 million in each lung).
Exchange of gases in lungs:
The air breathed in reaches the air sacs that are surrounded by blood vessels. These blood vessels transfer the oxygen present in the air to the blood. The carbon dioxide present in the blood passes to the air sacs.
How are combustion and cellular respiration similar to each other? In what ways are they different?
Combustion and cellular respiration are similar to each other because at the end of both processes heat and energy are released.
Differences between them:
Combustion Respiration
It is a fast process. It is a slow process.
It takes place only at high temperature. It takes place at body temperature.
It can happen anywhere. It can take place only in living cells.
It is a single-step process, and energy is released in the form of heat and light. It is a multi-step process, and energy is stored in the form of ATP.
How will you show that exhaled air has more carbon dioxide than inhaled air?
Carbon dioxide turns lime water milky. Based on this principle, experiment can be designed to show that exhaled air has more carbon dioxide than inhaled air.
Take two test tubes half filled with lime water.
With the help of glass tubes, clips and stoppers having two holes, set up an apparatus as shown below:
The middle rubber tube is used to breath in and out through the mouth.
Suck air through the rubber tube and open clip X and close clip Y. The inhaled air passes through the lime water present in test tube A. Now, exhale through the tube again and close clip X and open clip Y. The exhaled air passes through the lime water in test tube B.
The lime water in test tube B turns milky. This shows that exhaled air has more carbon dioxide.
What is the difference between breathing and cellular respiration?
Differences between breathing and cellular respiration:
Breathing Cellular Respiration
It is a physical process in which exchange of gases takes place. It does not involve any chemical reaction. It is oxidation of food, thus involves a chemical reaction.
It occurs outside the cells. It occurs inside the cells.
No energy is liberated in the process. Energy is liberated during the process.
What is anaerobic respiration? Does it occur in the human body also?
The breakdown of glucose to obtain energy in the absence of oxygen to give carbon dioxide and alcohol is termed as anaerobic respiration. Several organisms such as yeast and bacteria can live without oxygen as they carry out anaerobic respiration.
Yes, anaerobic respiration occurs in the human body also. During strenuous activities, body needs more energy but cannot get enough oxygen. Thus, anaerobic respiration occurs in the muscle cells to provide additional energy.
Why do we sometimes suffer from muscle cramps while exercising?
Cramps occur while exercising because of accumulation of lactic acid in the muscle cells. During exercise, body needs more energy, but it cannot get more oxygen for oxidation of food and for providing energy. The additional energy in muscle cells is provided by anaerobic respiration in which partial breakdown of glucose into lactic acid takes place. This lactic acid accumulates in muscle cells and causes cramps.
Is it wise to sleep under a tree
(a) during the day
(b) at night
Give reasons
(a) It is wise to sleep under a tree during the day. During day, plants take up carbon dioxide for photosynthesis and give out oxygen. Humans require oxygen for respiration. Therefore, while sleeping under a tree during daytime, one gets oxygen-rich air.
(b) On the other hand, during night, plants also respire. They take up oxygen and give out carbon dioxide. Therefore, if one sleeps under a tree during night, he/she will get oxygen-deficient air.
A person put warm water in an aquarium, thinking that the fish would be more comfortable in it. However, the fish died. What can be the reason for this?
(HINT: the solubility of a gas in water goes down as its temperature increases)
A fish needs the dissolved oxygen in water for respiration. Upon an increase in temperature, the solubility of oxygen in water decreases. The fish cannot get enough oxygen for respiration and hence dies.
When you run, your breathing becomes faster as you need more oxygen. But why does your rate of heartbeat also increase?
Body needs more oxygen during running and oxygen is carried by blood to all the parts of the body. Heart needs to pump more blood, carrying oxygen, to all the body parts during running. In order to supply more blood, the heart rate also increases during running.
Why do plants not need a respiratory system?
Plants have tiny pores called stomata on the surface of their leaves and stems. The exchange of gases in plants occurs through these pores. Thus, they do not need a respiratory system.
If you hold your breath for some time and then release it, you have to breathe heavily after that. Why?
The supply of oxygen in the body is withheld if we hold our breath. Body needs oxygen for oxidation of food in order to provide energy for all other processes. Holding our breath cuts down the supply of oxygen. After releasing it, we need to breathe heavily in order to take more oxygen which is needed by our body.
Why do you think we yawn when we are sleepy or drowsy?
When we are sleepy or drowsy, we need more energy and hence more oxygen. In order to draw more oxygen, we yawn.
Why do mountaineers climbing high mountains carry oxygen cylinders with them?
As one goes up from plains to mountains, the amount of oxygen present in the air decreases. On mountains, one cannot get enough oxygen through the normal breathing process. Thus, mountaineers need to carry oxygen cylinders with them to get continuous supply of oxygen.

Theresa Worden, Program Officer
Visit one of Maryland’s Busiest Waterways on June 2
“Across three months of programming, Kent County witnessed an explosion of 39 free public humanities and arts program presented by more than 20 community partners. Hosted by local churches, businesses, storefronts, art galleries, environmental groups and government agencies, these programs included lectures, exhibitions, walking tours, poster contests, book discussions, school field trips and oral history projects. This wide-ranging and grassroots approach to fostering civic dialogue created a moment for the community to pause and reflect – to consider together its diverse work experiences and shared economic histories while also discussing the county’s economic potential and planning policies moving forward.”
Barbara Foster, Vice President, G.A.R. Post #25 Sumner Hall, Chestertown, MD, Host Site, Museum on Main Street
“The Smithsonian exhibit, Key Ingredients: America By Food, has left the building but not the community. We got a glimpse of what we can do and how we can bring the community together around a common goal. From this day forward, the sky is now the limit for DCHS.”
Carol Lacy ~ Dorchester County Historical Society, Cambridge, MD, Host Site, Museum on Main Street
“[The Museums on Main Street] project was a win-win for the University and community. It enhanced student learning; they gained the ability to explore divisive topics from multiple angles and viewpoints, developed the skills needed to create engaging visual and audio displays, and cultivated an aptitude for envisioning a tangible project from inception through completion, all the while involving them in the local community.”
Kara Rogers Thomas ~ Frostburg State University faculty, and Board Member at Spruce Forest Artisan Village, Grantsville, MD Host Site, Museum on Main Street
“It was wonderful for us to be able to facilitate this occurrence for it demonstrated to key community stakeholders the power of our museum as an anchor in an old town that is working to draw people downtown and it demonstrated the value of working together on large initiatives.”
Michael Dixon ~ The Historical Society of Cecil County, Elkton, MD, Host Site, Museum on Main Street
“The opportunity to host the Smithsonian’s “The Way We Worked” exhibition allowed Sumner Hall to develop meaningful companion exhibits that can remain open to the public in the future. Exhibitions across the county were co-curated by community tradition-bearers, scholars, and college students, empowering citizens of diverse backgrounds to work together to tell their own often-untold stories.”
“We were very proud to have been chosen to partner with the Maryland Humanities on this exhibit project. Small museums, such as ours…are generally not able to field programs of this scope. Maryland Humanities has truly given us an opportunity to bring a nationally recognized program to the City of Bowie and Prince Georges County and have made it easy to reach and stretch and accomplish something that we’ve never done before on this level in our small museum system. The support of Maryland Humanities both financially and professionally is invaluable to us.”
Pam Williams ~ Belair Manison, City of Bowie Museums, Bowie, MD, Host Site, Museum on Main Street
“The Smithsonian connection gave us new credibility. We were able to track attendance and we’ve seen a continued rise in weekend activity. Based on increased attendance numbers, we’ve decided to keep the museum open year round. Using our guest book, our gung-ho membership chair was able to double the membership in the Friends organization. This enhanced our treasury by a substantial amount and identified many new volunteers.”
Dorry Norris ~ Washington County Rural Heritage Museum, Boonesboro, MD Host Site, Museum on Main Street
“The project definitely raised the visibility of our organization in western Maryland. Spruce Forest Artisan Village has become a fixture in Garrett County, but it does become taken for granted. This project gave local residents a new reason to make the effort to make a return visit to the Village. Moreover, the programs hosted by the adjacent Penn Alps Restaurant helped us in reaching a new audience.”
Kara Rogers Thomas ~ Frostburg State University faculty, and Board Member at Spruce Forest Artisan Village, Grantsville, MD, Host Site, Museum on Main Street
“Although “Fences” are down, the reverberations of our initiative are still resonating. The web of collaboration is clearly active. Many “reached across the fence.” Our community is all the stronger for it. The exhibition boasts the largest attendance of any seven week display on campus with a visitor count of over 1,050. Add to that the rich programming amounting to over 25 events which saw attendance again well over 1,000 participants. What is remarkable is the cross section of interest groups and individuals who attended from the three-county area of southern Maryland and beyond. In essence, the rich mosaic that formed attracted a broad range of people and opened a rare exchange of ideas. We witnessed epiphanies!”
Mary Braun ~ Director of the Boyden Gallery, St. Mary’s College, St. Mary’s City, MD Host Site, Museum on Main Street

Senate County Executives Series Senator Don Hutchinson
Senate County Executives Series Senator Sidney Kramer
Senate County Executives Series Senator Dennis Rasmussen
Unsung Senators Celebration Senator Gwendolyn Britt
Maryland Senate Democrats
Baltimore City Celebration Series Senator Clarence Blount
Recognized by colleagues for his measured and principled demeanor, Senator Clarence W. Blount represented Baltimore City in the Maryland State Senate from 1971-2003.
Few individuals who’ve walked the halls of the Maryland Senate did so with as much distinction as did Clarence W. Blount. The son of sharecroppers on the east coast of North Carolina, Blount grew up extremely poor in material possessions and he lost his mother at the tender age of five. Many would have gone down a much different path, but Blount persevered through these difficult circumstances and grew into a man that many would later aspire to become.
Unable to read or count, Blount moved to Baltimore at the age of ten and started school for the very first time. Despite this disadvantage, Blount worked hard and achieved success in his studies. Graduating from Frederick Douglass High School at the advanced age of twenty-one, Blount then entered Morgan State College. His college education was quickly deferred however as he was quickly drafted into service in the United States Army in 1942. A member of the segregated 92nd Infantry Buffalo Division, Blount saw combat in World War II and earned a battlefield commission for removing deadly mines from a river passage in Italy.
After honorably completing his military service, Blount returned home to finish his education. He reentered Morgan State College and graduated in 1950 with a bachelor’s degree in political science. He then began his career in education that would see him serve as a teacher, a principal, and a mentor to countless young people in Baltimore and beyond.
Continuing his call to service, Blount embarked on a different avenue to serve when he was elected to the Maryland Senate in 1970. Representing Maryland’s 41st State Senate District, his legislative career was long and storied. Known for his tireless support of education funding, Blount was a champion not just of his beloved Historically Black Colleges and Universities but of all students throughout Maryland.
Because of his hard work and life of service to his country and community, Blount left his state truly changed and improved. His legacy as a legislator and as a leader for Baltimore City continues to endure.

Study: Consumers want more sandwich variety
CHICAGO — With expectations highest among people aged 18 to 24, diners want more variety in sandwiches, according to Sandwich Consumer Trend Report, a new study from foodservice industry consultant Technomic.
Only 52% of consumers polled were satisfied with the variety of sandwiches available at sub shops and delis, while only 42% were satisfied with the sandwich offerings at full-service restaurants. Eighteen- to 24-year-olds were least satisfied, at 44% and 40%, respectively.
More than four out of five consumers said the quality of meat (86%), freshness of ingredients (84%), and quality of bread (81%) have the most impact in making a good sandwich.
• Eighty-one percent of consumers have purchased a sandwich away from home at least once in the past 60 days. Among these consumers, 93% eat at least one sandwich a week, and 59% say they eat at least three sandwiches a week.
• Seventy-seven percent of consumers surveyed said they had eaten a hamburger in the past 60 days, while 57% said they had eaten deli sandwiches, 52% had eaten tacos or burritos and 47% had consumed sub sandwiches.
• More than four in five consumers say quality and taste drive their selection of where to purchase a sandwich for both lunch (84%) and dinner (82%). Overall value and price round out the top three traffic drivers, with more than seven in 10 consumers citing each as a reason for choosing a specific restaurant for lunch and dinner sandwich purchases.
• Most consumers (77%) report that customization and quantity of ingredients (75%) are crucial factors to creating a good sandwich.
“Due to the high versatility and saturation of the sandwich market, it is important for operators to stay abreast of current trends and evolving consumer needs,” said Darren Tristano, executive vice-president. “To improve in the area of variety, operators and suppliers may want to consider offering a wider range of sandwich ingredients, developing signature sandwich offerings, and allowing guests to customize their sandwiches.”

Marketers Say Proving ROI More Important Than Brand Awareness Metrics
by Laurie Sullivan @lauriesullivan, December 2, 2016
Marketing budgets rose slightly in 2016 compared with 2015, but the latest findings from a benchmark study suggest that CEOs still lack a strong commitment to digital advertising and marketing.
The insight comes from CMOs and CIOs who participated in the Leapfrog 2016 CMO Digital Benchmark Study. In fact, three out of four said the CEOs at their respective companies have not been sold on the idea. The Leapfrog Marketing Institute surveyed about 198 executives at companies with more than 3,000 employees and $1 billion in annual sales.
The lack of buy-in from CEOs to improve on trends like mobile and omnichannel strategies push CMOs and CIOs harder to prove return on investment. Researchers Randy Spratt, former EVP, CIO and CTO of McKesson; Fred Ehle, former VP of customer strategy for McDonald’s USA; and Jim Carey, adjunct professor at Northwestern University, found that for marketers proving return on investment remains twice as important as brand awareness metrics.
Only one-third of executives participating in the study report that the C-suite executives at their respective companies are highly committed to the company's digital transformation. About one-quarter of executives state that the C-suite views customer-centric strategies are extremely important.
Delivering on omnichannel experiences remains more for technology executives compared with marketers in 2016, a reversal from 2015, per the Leapfrog benchmark report. Some 79% of technology executives said it was either "extremely important" or "Important," compared with 73% of marketers.
Despite stellar reports this holiday season from Adobe Digital Insights and IBM as well as comScore, which reported 89 million consumers visited online retailers via mobile devices on Cyber Monday, 55% of Leapfrog survey respondents said mobile continues to be their weakest sales channel.
Mobile also remains the only sales channel in which marketers reported a meaningful lift -- 55% in 2016 versus 42% in 2015.
Both sides of the fence report that they are executing on omnichannel customer experiences at 70% in 2016 -- up from 46% in 2015 for marketing; and 68%, up from 50%, respectively, for technology executives.
Marketers’ satisfaction level at 38% is lower than technology executives at 62% when it comes to using digital and mobile channels to drive sales.

2 comments about "Marketers Say Proving ROI More Important Than Brand Awareness Metrics".
Ed Papazian from Media Dynamics Inc, December 2, 2016 at 2:34 p.m.
Of course determining ROI trumps brand awareness as the latter is merely a stepping stone to the former. Why should there even be a choice? Both are needed, in their proper place.
John Grono from GAP Research, December 3, 2016 at 2:17 a.m.
Brand awareness is a potential INPUT into measuring ROI (the Output).
While it may seem odd that I called it as a 'potential' input, that's what it actully is. Without brand awareness, you do not have a significant brand or significant sales. But just having brand awareness does not guarantee sales or brand success.
One small example that I worked on years ago. Australia's leading toilet paper brand was slipping and being beaten by new (more contemporary and cheaper) entrants. The one guaranteed metric the client has was their brand tracker and in particular brand awareness, and their favourite was prompter brand awareness. In fiev years of data it tracked 97 to 100% - proving that every Australian ... well you know what I mean.
When we did the analysis, there was no correlation between brand awareness and sales. In fact as the brand was tanking you could infer that, if anything, it had an inverse effect - the higher the brand awareness the more likley sales would soften.
It was being swamped by product (3-sheet vs 2-sheet), its price premium, reduced stockists and facings, and aggressive price and promotion support by its competitors.

Overview of unscheduled bleeding with Implanon NXT
By sa | February 17, 2016 | 0
A 19-year-old woman attends complaining of irregular PV bleeding over the last three-to-four months. The bleeds are not painful or heavy but can last for days at a time. They are more brown than red in colour but she also continues to have what she characterises as her “period”, which is a heavier, shorter bleed that seems to occur on a monthly basis. The additional bleeds require she wears a sanitary liner most days and she is feeling some irritation around the vulva as a result of this.
Of note in her past medical history, she became sexually active at the age of 17 and has had two partners in the previous six months. She uses an Implanon NXT device for contraception, which was inserted in a family planning clinic around five months ago, and tries to use condoms for STI prevention as well.
She is not taking any other medications (in particular nothing that may have caused induction of the cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) hepatic isoenzymes) and had a negative pregnancy test at the time of her Implanon NXT placement. The device is palpable under the skin of her upper arm.
As unscheduled bleeding is a common side-effect of Implanon NXT it is decided — after discussing this and other possible treatment options with the patient — to try adding in some additional progestogen to see if that helps resolve the problem. She takes a prescription for 10mg dydrogesterone PO to be taken daily but she returns in four weeks to say there has been no improvement.
After further discussion, it is decided to do a bimanual, PV and speculum exam, which reveals a healthy cervix with a noticeable ectropion. A NAAT (nucleic acid amplification test) swab is taken from the area of the cervix, as well as a separate NAAT swab from the lower vagina to screen for chlamydia and gonorrhoea.
One week later, a negative chlamydia/gonorrhoea result is received from the National Virus Reference Laboratory and the patient is contacted. The unscheduled bleeding is now very unlikely to be the result of pathology and further interventions to try and resolve the unscheduled bleeding are offered. The patient agrees to take a different supplemental progestogen — in this instance, 75mg desogestrel (known as the progestogen-only contraceptive hormone pills Cerazette or Azalia). After a few weeks she phones to say she has noticed much less unscheduled bleeding and is content to continue wearing her implant.
Unexpected, unscheduled or ‘breakthrough’ bleeding is a common side-effect of many hormonal contraceptives.
The three-year subdermal contraceptive implant Implanon NXT is often associated with this unpleasant and worrying side-effect. Irregular bleeding was the most frequently reported adverse drug event and the most common reason for discontinuing treatment of the implant in clinical trials. Implanon NXT contains a 68mg reservoir of etonogestrel, which is a synthetic progestogen (or ‘progestin’). It is the chief active metabolite of desogestrel progestin.
The etonogestrel is released from the device through a rate-limiting ethylene membrane at a level of approximately 60-70µg per day after the initial insertion — but this drops to 30-40µg daily release after the first six weeks of use. Etonogestrel causes complete ovulatory suppression by inhibiting the LH rise that precipitates egg release and thus provides excellent protection against pregnancy.
While many other hormonal contraceptives also create an anovulant state in the user, the Implanon NXT is unique because unlike those other contraceptive options, there is no potential for user error (ie, no pills to remember, no injections to return for).
This makes Implanon NXT the most reliable contraceptive choice available in the world today (fewer failures are associated with Implanon NXT use than either vasectomy or tubal ligation).
Unscheduled PV bleeding
Younger women seem to suffer more commonly from unscheduled bleeding than older users of the implant. They may be more susceptible to breakthrough bleeding because of the relative immaturity of their uterine lining. Older Implanon wearers experience much less additional bleeding.
Some Implanon NXT users become completely amenorrhoeic during some or all of the three years while others have regular, predictable bleeding.
The majority of Implanon NXT users will experience some form of bleed disruption and so pre-insertion counselling around this issue is essential to avoid unnecessary anxiety and early discontinuation.
The exact mechanisms of unscheduled bleeding associated with hormonal contraception are unknown. In a healthy menstruating woman there is an organised response to the drop in
circulating progesterone at the end of the luteal phase of the natural cycle.
This progesterone drop triggers normal menstruation.
For women using progestin-only contraceptives, bleeding occurs in a sporadic fashion from irregularly-distributed, abnormally-enlarged and fragile capillaries and venules embedded in a collapsed stroma.
Course Principal: Certificate and Diploma in Women’s Health, ICGP. Unscheduled bleeding may be an indicator of disease. Often, the only symptom of chlamydia or gonorrhoea infection at the cervix is irregular bleeding
There is superficial blood vessel fragility as well as local changes in endometrial steroid response, structural integrity and tissue perfusion, all of which may play a role in the pathogenesis of breakthrough bleeding.
Implanon NXT is notable for unscheduled bleeding. It may be that the relatively mild amount of progestin released from the device, while being more than adequate to block ovulation, is often too weak to inhibit endometrial shedding and can allow a lot of unscheduled bleeding in some users.
This is why it is often useful to trial a course of supplemental progestin to help promote a higher systemic level and hopefully prevent the breakthrough bleeding.
Alternatively, higher-dose IM progestin (as found in the 150mg medroxyprogesterone acetate injection known as Depo-Provera) may be offered before Implanon NXT insertion to help minimise the potential for breakthrough bleeding.
As the etonogestrel in Implanon NXT is a metabolite of desogestrel progestin, desogestrel tablets (as found in the pills Cerazette and Azalia) are frequently prescribed to try and suppress breakthrough during implant use.
Other treatment options (a discussion of which can be found on the UK Faculty of Sexual and Reproductive Health document Management of Unscheduled Bleeding in Women Using Hormonal Contraception) include: mefenamic acid, doxycycline and most effective of all, any combined oestrogen and progestin hormonal contraceptive.
Oestrogen is a powerful endometrial-binding hormone and if not contraindicated for use can help improve compliance with new implant users.
Other causes of unscheduled PV bleeding in women with an Implanon NXT
While it is most likely that breakthrough bleeding in a new Implanon NXT user is as a result of the progestin hormone itself, other possible causes must be considered and excluded in a timely fashion.
Prof John Guillebaud reminds us in his book Contraception Today to consider the many ‘D’s of breakthrough bleeding for women on hormonal contraceptives. Those that apply to implant wearers include:
Disorders of pregnancy
1. Drug interactions
Breakthrough bleeding may occur in Implanon NXT wearers as a result of drug interaction. Etonogestrel progestin is a substrate of the CYP3A4 oxidase system and so is susceptible to induction of this system. Many medications are inducers of CYP3A4 and increase the metabolism of etonogestrel, including: Some anticonvulsants including topiramate, barbiturates, St John’s wort, nevirapine antiretrovirals and rifampin.
Concomitant use of these medications can result in pregnancy in Implanon NXT users and so alternative contraceptives should be offered.
They may also create new or worsening breakthrough bleeding, which might alert the prescriber to a conflict. Other medications have been linked to reduction in the effectiveness of progestin contraception by an alternate mechanism.
Protease inhibitors such as modafinil, as indicated for narcolepsy and mycophenolate anti-rejection drugs, can reduce the plasma concentrations of etonogestrel so the use of Implanon NXT is contraindicated in women on these medications.
(Conversely, CYP3A4 inhibitors decrease the clearance of etonogestrel and increase plasma concentrations, thus raising the likelihood of progestin-related side effects. Oral antifungals like fluconazole and itraconazole may have this effect.)
2. Disorders of pregnancy
While Implanon NXT is the most effective contraceptive available, it is not 100 per cent guaranteed and the possibility of a bleed in early pregnancy should be considered, no matter how remote.
It may even have been a situation where the patient was already pregnant when she attended for the insertion of her device — it is important to consider this possibility and perhaps try and out rule with a urinary pregnancy test before insertions.
Bear in mind that the urinary pregnancy tests available to most GPs do not reliably confirm a pregnancy within three weeks of the last unprotected intercourse.
3. Disease
Unscheduled bleeding may be an indicator of disease. Often, the only symptom of chlamydia or gonorrhoea infection at the cervix is irregular bleeding.
In fact, most women who are infected with chlamydia and many who are infected with gonorrhoea are completely asymptomatic, so a high index of suspicion is important when treating sexually-active people.
Women under 25 years and those with recent new partners are considered higher risk and should always be offered NAAT testing to be safe.
Other pathologies of the reproductive system may coexist in Implanon NXT wearers and so breakthrough bleeding that does not respond to hormonal manipulation within three-to-four months should be investigated by bimanual pelvic exam and inspection of the cervix.
Cervical polyps and uterine fibroids are possible causes of
unscheduled bleeding, as is cervical carcinoma.
The majority of Implanon NXT users will experience some form of bleed disruption and so pre-insertion counselling around this issue is essential to avoid unnecessary anxiety and early discontinuation
The CervicalCheck programme does not begin until age 25 but cervical carcinoma may develop before this age and direct visualisation of the cervix is essential when assessing someone who has been sexually active and is experiencing breakthrough bleeding.
If the cervix appears suspicious in any way, referral to a colposcopy unit is advised — the taking of a smear test is not advised nor will it in any way help diagnose the possible causes of unscheduled bleeding.
The smear test is only powered to detect microscopic changes in the cervical nuclei that may predict future carcinoma.
It is not a diagnostic tool for period problems, STIs, pelvic pain or breakthrough bleeding, although many patients believe it is.
In summary, most unscheduled PV bleeding in Implanon NXT wearers is caused by the relatively low dose of the progestin that emerges from the implant and is usually correctable with one of a variety of additional medications.

John Wick Chapter 3: Parabellum
Directed by Chad Stahelski
Starring Keanu Reeves
Review by Jon Kissel
The subtitle of the third John Wick installment, Parabellum, is Latin for ‘prepare for war’ and is majestically intoned by Ian McShane’s Winston at a pivotal moment. A viewer might assume that the war takes place in the film itself, but it’s instead mere skirmishes and more preparation in a franchise that started strong and has since become plotless and clogged with borrowed mythology. Maybe the war will come in John Wick 4 upon its release in 2021, or maybe in subsequent sequels after that one. I’ll never know because after the drudgery and repetition of a franchise that has wholly turned itself over to video-game action and episodic filmmaking, I say goodbye to Mr. Wick.
Best of the 2010's, Part I
The 2010's as a decade personally represent the crystallization of a hobby that's grown to take up more and more of my life. That hobby is capital-A amateur film criticism, as manifested by a well-maintained Letterboxd page and the thousands of words and dozens of hours of podcasts on this website. So why did I write almost 1200 reviews over that period of time? More importantly, why didn't I take seriously that guy that Bryan and I met at Ebertfest who wanted to promote our website? Where would we be now if that guy turned us towards writing with an environmentally-conscious message? Would climate change be solved by now? We'll never know.
Directed by Jonathan Levine
Starring Charlize Theron and Seth Rogen
While romantic comedies are in the midst of a comeback thanks to Netflix’s finely tuned algorithm, Long Shot aims its genre attempt at the world of politics at a time when no script can match the absurdity of the real world. The film not only asks the viewer to imagine something like a return to governmental normalcy, but it also proposes Charlize Theron and Seth Rogen as a credible couple. These are big requests, one of which the film pretends doesn’t exist and the other it constantly interrogates. Jonathan Levine, a deft director who knows his way around the line between drama and comedy, accomplishes some of what he needed to with Long Shot, a film that entertains but doesn’t elevate.
Directed by Josh Cooley
Starring Tom Hanks, Annie Potts, and Tony Hale
The tortuous world lurking under the glossy surface of Toy Story gets taken out once again for more puzzling philosophical questions. Already appearing to be immortal and indestructible, the toys in Pixar’s flagship franchise now seem to be borne out of the slightest humanization, such that a box of googly eyes are the equivalent of god breathing life into Adam dozens of times over. Toy Story 4, like the previous entries, implies endless and interminable torture in the lightest possible package. The animation has never looked more realistic as the animate inanimate objects of the film struggle with a new kid to entertain and the redefinition of their existences. Just don’t think about it too hard.
Faces Places
Directed by Agnes Varda and JR
Review by Jon Kissel
Documentaries are rarely served by the documentarians themselves appearing in front of the camera. Overheated navel-gazing ensues, or less irritatingly, they fail by being less interesting than the subject they’re filming. The exception to this is Agnes Varda, a distinctive and unique presence who is welcome to talk about herself onscreen for as long as she wants. In her beautiful Faces Places, the iconic French director teams up with youthful photographer JR for a trip through a lesser-seen France, far away from the streets of Paris. The unlikely duo bring joy wherever they go, both to the blue-collar inhabitants of the countryside and to the viewer.
Fighting With My Family
Directed by Stephen Merchant
Starring Florence Pugh, Jack Lowdon, and Vince Vaughn
WWE Studios making a biopic about one of its wrestlers immediately stinks of corporate propaganda, and Fighting With My Family doesn’t allay those concerns. Famous past and present wrestlers like The Rock and Big Show make cameo appearances, and there’s little sense of the seamier side of the business as exposed in Beyond the Mat. The film also seems to misunderstand the matches themselves, pretending that they can be won with grit and determination instead of predetermined outcomes based on who management is promoting this week. However, with a strong cast and some subversive moments, Fighting With My Family is nonetheless an entertaining sports flick. The true story of pro wrestler Paige’s emergence from a hardscrabble English life to the lights of the WWE is an amusing charmer that’s more perceptive and warm-hearted than it needed to be.
Directed by Olivia Wilde
Starring Beanie Feldstein and Kaitlyn Dever
Earlier review by Drew Landry
Liz Lemon from 30 Rock spent an episode traveling back home for a high school reunion that didn’t go as she thought it would. She imagined herself as bullied and overlooked, but her misremembered talent for the perfectly cutting remark meant that she was the bully, pushing her peers into plastic surgery clinics and therapy couches with her emotional brutality. Olivia Wilde’s directorial debut finds her own teenage Liz Lemon in Beanie Feldstein’s Molly, a valedictorian who passed on partying to focus on her accomplishments and developed an antipathy towards her less disciplined classmates. With best friend and cohort in teetotaling Amy (Kaitlyn Dever) by her side, who needed all these drunks and skanks who were surely going to peak in their teenage years? Booksmart hilariously follows Molly and Amy as their worldview is turned upside-down in their final days of high school. In this gender and ambition-flipped Superbad for a new generation, the bittersweet emotionality is replicated and the jokes are updated for current sensibilities, losing nothing in their potency.
Directed by David F. Sandberg
Starring Zachary Levi, Asher Angel, and Jack Dylan Grazer
Review by Jon Kissel
DC comics movies continue to operate in the shadows of the Marvel juggernaut, but they’ve at least figured out how to avoid critical derision. Wonder Woman took stirring advantage of its place as the first female-led superhero film of the previous ten years, and Aquaman used a mythic, anything-goes approach to bludgeon its audience into awed submission. Both went back to the well-trod heroism well and left Zach Snyder’s overwrought approach, grasping futilely for insight, behind. With Shazam, DC continues its embrace of adolescent filmmaking with some old-fashioned wish fulfillment, while retaining, in pieces, the violent and dark tone from Snyder’s earlier output. This collision produces whiplash and makes it impossible for the very different parts of Shazam to work in harmony.
Directed by Chris Butler
Starring Hugh Jackman and Zach Galifinakis
Laika Studios suffered its biggest failure with Missing Link, an unjust treatment by the moviegoing public for a group of true artisans. The stop-motion animators, increasingly backed up by the largesse of CEO Travis Knight’s father and Nike founder Phil Knight, consistently make beautiful creations and complex stories for the family. Missing Link is no exception, it currently reigns as the biggest box office animated bust of all time. Hopefully, Laika can withstand this blow, because in a sea of CGI, no one else makes movies like they do. Missing Link isn’t up to the standard Laika has set by previous greats and personal favorites Paranorman and Kubo and the Two Strings, but there’s still plenty here to warrant success instead of historical failure.
Directed by Todd Haynes
Starring Julianne Moore, Dennis Quaid, and Dennis Haysbert
One of the most indelible images from Mad Men occurred in an episode where Don Draper takes new wife Megan to try out a Howard Johnson chain in upstate New York. He raves about the sherbet, and a serving is brought to Megan in all its unnatural orange glory. The color of the dessert leaps off the screen, though its brightness doesn’t stop Megan from discarding it after a single, disagreeable bite. Those colors are all over a film that may well have inspired Mad Men, Todd Haynes’ Far From Heaven. In its 1950’s setting of wealthy Connecticut, the cars are sparkling pastels, the clothes pop with brightness, and the autumn leaves serve as a tourist advertisement, but all the lives contained within are allowed none of this vibrancy. Haynes’ film is both luxurious and repressed, a clenched fist wrapped in silk that skewers northern self-congratulatory liberalism and looks incredible doing it.

Helmet Add-ons Don't Lower Concussion Risk
There's no magic bullet when it comes to preventing concussions. A new study suggests that the growing popularity of in-helmet add-ons, such as extra padding or external coatings, do little to reduce the angular force associated with concussions.
While something of a cottage industry, in-helmet add-ons have popped up over the years, fueled by the public's fear of head injuries and their long-term effect on the brain. However, few of these products have undergone even rudimentary biomechanical evaluation, according to experts who carried out the research.
The study will be presented at the upcoming 67th American Academy of Neurology (AAN) Annual Meeting in Washington, DC.
Investigators used an apparatus for impact testing of protective headgear that was modified from the one used by the National Operating Committee on Standards for Athletic Equipment (NOCSAE). It measures both linear and angular kinematics.
They tested four football helmet add-ons:
Guardian Cap (a soft shell layer that fits over the helmet);
UnEqual Technologies' Concussion Reduction Technology (CRT) (inserts made of a strong thin and flexible composite material)
Shockstrips (strips of adhesive foam-like material attached to the outside of the helmet)
Helmet Glide (fluid applied to the outside of the helmet designed to disperse kinetic energy and reduce surface tension)
The researchers outfitted two helmets — a Riddell Revolution Speed and a Xenith X1 — with each of these add-ons and tested them five times from three different heights (1 m, 1.5 m, and 2 m) using a crash test dummy head equipped with measuring instruments.
Measuring Bounce
The researchers were interested in both linear and angular motion.
"I'm measuring the bounce, which is the linear acceleration, and the rotation, which is the angular acceleration," said John Lloyd, PhD, an ergonomist, specialist in biomechanics, and research director, BRAINS Inc. Many concussions involve the rotational force of the head.
Dr John Lloyd
The researchers averaged peak measures of these forces across the five impacts at each height.
The study showed that for three combined add-ons (Guardian Cap, CRT, and Shockstrips), linear acceleration decreased 11% compared with a standard helmet that had no add-ons.
"That's a pretty good reduction in the linear acceleration, but that's not what prevents concussions," said Dr Lloyd. "The point is that it's the angular acceleration that reduces concussion, and these add-ons are not effective at reducing the angular acceleration."
In fact, they reduced angular acceleration by only 2%, according to the study.
The Hemet Glide, which was a prototype, did not fare well in these experiments and won't be on the market, said Dr Lloyd.
Wrong Focus
Helmet designers appear to be focusing on the wrong force when it comes to preventing concussions. They should be measuring angular acceleration, which, although relatively difficult to do, isn't impossible, said Dr Lloyd.
Until now, NOCSAE measured only linear acceleration when testing helmets. However, with new information accumulated by Dr Lloyd and his colleagues, that's about to change.
"The NOCSAE finally accepted that it's important to measure angular acceleration, and they're adding that now to their protocol," he said.
Down the line, there could be an even safer football helmet. Dr Lloyd, who is a motorcycle expert and rides one himself, has been testing his prototype helmet for about 3 years. He's now in the process of patenting it.
His state-of-the-art helmet is made of "shear thickening" materials that harden upon impact. The degree of stiffness depends on the force, but almost immediately upon direct impact, the material returns to its normal state.
At the same time, though, his helmet is designed to protect the brain during, for example, a football tackle where the head is thrown back.
"In the types of impact that produce greater angular acceleration and therefore higher risk of concussion, the materials remain relatively soft, thereby permitting the helmet to move independently of the head, such that the full magnitude of the angular accelerations is not transmitted to the brain," said Dr Lloyd.
In his lab, Dr Lloyd has tested his prototype helmet against a standard Riddell Revolution product and found a 50% reduction in angular acceleration.
"It works much better than any helmet or helmet add-on on the market," he said.
But his fellow researcher, Francis Conidi, DO, founder and chair of Seeing Stars Foundation, a sports concussion organization focused on research and education, doesn't think there will ever be a helmet that completely eliminates concussion risk.
"The only way to prevent concussions is to immobilize the cervical spine, but then you create a new set of problems for the athlete," as the neck needs to move to absorb energy when hit, he told Medscape Medical News.
Add-ons a Waste of Money
The growing choices of add-ons are a waste of money, said Dr Conidi, who is also director of the Florida Center for Headache and Sports Neurology, assistant clinical professor of neurology at the Florida State University College of Medicine, Tallahassee, and team neurologist for the Florida Panthers National Hockey League team.
Helmet add-ons may even increase the risk for concussions by adding weight and mass to the helmet. "When you think about it, it actually adds to the surface area of the helmet, which means there are more potential contact points," especially if the add-ons are on the outside of the helmet, said Dr Conidi.
The add-ons may provide a false sense of security, leading the athlete to take more risks on the field, he said.
Dr Lloyd is research director of BRAINS Inc, which supported the study. Dr Conidi is founder and chair of Seeing Stars Foundation, which supported the study.
To be presented at the 67th American Academy of Neurology (AAN) Annual Meeting, April 18-25, 2015.

Jenelle Evans and David Eason split: Social media playing an important role in daily developments
12th November 2019 1:26 PM ET
Jenelle Evans has been posting photos on daughter Ensley’s Instagram account. Pic credit: MTV
Jenelle Evans announced on October 31 that she was leaving David Eason. She admitted that she had already filed the necessary papers and had moved away from the home they shared. Since that update, she has kept silent, supposedly living in Tennessee and spending time with her children.
But it appears that social media is the key to following this dramatic story as it develops. It has been through social media that David Eason shared that he was only spending time with his animals after Jenelle and the kids left. It was also through Instagram that Jenelle shared her decision to leave.
As it turns out, Jenelle hasn’t posted on her own social media account since late October, but she has posted on her daughter’s Instagram account. Her toddler daughter, Ensley Jolie, has her own page, where new photos have surfaced after Jenelle’s decision to leave. It’s clear that Jenelle is running the account and wants fans to know that she’s doing good.
Being silly 🐻✨
A post shared by Ensley Eason (@ensleyjolie_) on Nov 10, 2019 at 5:39pm PST
David Eason hasn’t said anything about Jenelle posting photos of his daughter on social media, a daughter he supposedly hasn’t seen since Jenelle took her away from their home. According to the restraining order she filed, Jenelle feared for both her life and the life of the kids given David’s collection of guns.

As for David, he’s been using social media to shut down the haters — and also to throw shade at Jenelle. In since-deleted posts, he reportedly called her “stupid”.
Hopefully, Jenelle Evans will speak out soon about her future plans to protect the kids. She was spotted in Tennessee with her ex-boyfriend Nathan Griffith this week, but it appears that their reunion was due to their son Kaiser and there are no plans for them to get back together.

Dwindling tropical rainforests mean lost medicines yet to be discovered in their plants
Walter Suza | Adjunct Assistant Professor of Agronomy, Iowa State University | Via The Conversation
Growing up in Tanzania, I knew that fruit trees were useful. Climbing a mango tree to pick a fruit was a common thing to do when I was hungry, even though at times there were unintended consequences. My failure to resist consuming unripened fruit, for example, caused my stomach to hurt. With such incidents becoming frequent, it was helpful to learn from my mother that consuming the leaves of a particular plant helped alleviate my stomach pain.
This lesson helped me appreciate the medicinal value of plants. However, I also witnessed my family and neighboring farmers clearing the land by slashing and burning unwanted trees and shrubs, seemingly unaware of their medicinal value, to create space for food crops.
But this lack of appreciation for the medicinal value of plants extends beyond my childhood community. As fires continue to burn in the Amazon and land is cleared for agriculture, most of the concerns have focused on the drop in global oxygen production if swaths of the forests disappear. But I’m also worried about the loss of potential medicines that are plentiful in forests and have not yet been discovered. Plants and humans also share many genes, so it may be possible to test various medicines in plants, providing a new strategy for drug testing.
As a plant physiologist, I am interested in plant biodiversity because of the potential to develop more resilient and nutritious crops. I am also interested in plant biodiversity because of its contribution to human health. About 80% of the world population relies on compounds derived from plants for medicines to treat various ailments, such as malaria and cancer, and to suppress pain.
Future medicines may come from plants
One of the greatest challenges in fighting diseases is the emergence of drug resistance that renders treatment ineffective. Physicians have observed drug resistance in the fight against malaria, cancer, tuberculosis and fungal infections. It is likely that drug resistance will emerge with other diseases, forcing researchers to find new medicines.
Plants are a rich source of new and diverse compounds that may prove to have medicinal properties or serve as building blocks for new drugs. And, as tropical rainforests are the largest reservoir of diverse species of plants, preserving biodiversity in tropical forests is important to ensure the supply of medicines of the future.
Plants and new cholesterol-lowering medicines
The goal of my own research is to understand how plants control the production of biochemical compounds called sterols. Humans produce one sterol, called cholesterol, which has functions including formation of testosterone and progesterone - hormones essential for normal body function. By contrast, plants produce a diverse array of sterols, including sitosterol, stigmasterol, campesterol, and cholesterol. These sterols are used for plant growth and defense against stress but also serve as precursors to medicinal compounds such as those found in the Indian Ayurvedic medicinal plant, ashwagandha.
Withania somnifer, known commonly as ashwagandha, manufactures molecules that could be useful for cholesterol medicine.. Wowbobwow12/Wikipedia, CC BY-SA
Humans produce cholesterol through a string of genes, and some of these genes produce proteins that are the target of medicines for treating high cholesterol. Plants also use this collection of genes to make their sterols. In fact, the sterol production systems in plants and humans are so similar that medicines used to treat high cholesterol in people also block sterol production in plant cells.
I am fascinated by the similarities between how humans and plants manufacture sterols, because identifying new medicines that block sterol production in plants might lead to medicines to treat high cholesterol in humans.
New medicines for chronic and pandemic diseases
An example of a gene with medical implications that is present in both plants and humans is NPC1, which controls the transport of cholesterol. However, the protein made by the NPC1 gene is also the doorway through which the Ebola virus infects cells. Since plants contain NPC1 genes, they represent potential systems for developing and testing new medicines to block Ebola.
This will involve identifying new chemical compounds that interfere with plant NPC1. This can be done by extracting chemical compounds from plants and testing whether they can effectively prevent the Ebola virus from infecting cells.
There are many conditions that might benefit from plant research, including high cholesterol, cancer and even infectious diseases such as Ebola, all of which have significant global impact. To treat high cholesterol, medicines called statins are used. Statins may also help to fight cancer. However, not all patients tolerate statins, which means that alternative therapies must be developed.

Tropical rainforests are medicine reservoirs
The need for new medicines to combat heart disease and cancer is dire. A rich and diverse source of chemicals can be found in natural plant products. With knowledge of genes and enzymes that make medicinal compounds in native plant species, scientists can apply genetic engineering approaches to increase their production in a sustainable manner.
Tropical rainforests house vast biodiversity of plants, but this diversity faces significant threat from human activity.
To help students in my genetics and biotechnology class appreciate the value of plants in medical research, I refer to findings from my research on plant sterols. My goal is to help them recognize that many cellular processes are similar between plants and humans. My hope is that, by learning that plants and animals share similar genes and metabolic pathways with health implications, my students will value plants as a source of medicines and become advocates for preservation of plant biodiversity.

Home Economy Etihad Airways to Operate Boeing 787 Dreamliner from Abu Dhabi to Rabat
Etihad Airways to Operate Boeing 787 Dreamliner from Abu Dhabi to Rabat
Rabat - The Boeing 787 Dreamliner, with advanced technology, is coming to the Moroccan capital.
Rabat – The Boeing 787 Dreamliner, with advanced technology, is coming to the Moroccan capital.
This three-class version engine, replacing the Airbus A330-300 currently serving the Abu Dhabi-Rabat route, will begin serving the route October 3.
On May 1 this year, the airline placed the 787 Dreamliner on its daily flights to the kingdom’s commercial hub, Casablanca. The move to place the aircraft on Rabat flights will provide customers travelling on Etihad Airways’ Moroccan routes with full product consistency, the latest inflight technology, and increased cargo capacity to further boost trade.
The Boeing 787, which features 8 private first-class suites, 28 business studios, and 199 economy smart seats, will reinforce Etihad Airway’s commitment to the Moroccan market.
“Morocco is a very important destination on the Etihad network, underscoring the close cultural and commercial ties between the kingdom and the UAE,” said Robin Kamark, chief commercial officer of the Etihad Aviation Group.
“Our flights to Rabat and Casablanca have proved tremendously popular with UAE and Moroccan nationals, and residents. Adding the 787 Dreamliner on all our Moroccan services will now provide our customers flying to both capitals with the same award-winning cabins, innovative seating and products.”
Etihad Airways has been serving Rabat since January 2016, providing the only long-haul link from the city. It will be the only service operated by the 787 Dreamliner from Rabat.
The airline launched its first Abu Dhabi-Casablanca flight on June 2, 2006.
In March 2013, Etihad Airways increased its flights to Casablanca, launching a new daily round-trip flight between Abu Dhabi and Casablanca. In 2016, the airline announced that it would expand its presence in Morocco by launching two new weekly flights between Abu Dhabi and Rabat to provide a direct link between the two capitals.

Bank of England holds base rate at 0.25%
Callum Brodie, News Reporter
The Bank of England today kept the base rate at 0.25% – resisting temptation to make further changes to the rate a month after it fell to a historic low.
The decision to maintain the base rate at 0.25% had been predicted by many economists and it comes just six weeks after the Bank of England cut the rate (which is the official borrowing rate that influences what borrowers pay and savers earn) for the first time in more than seven years.
However, further action by the Bank of England remains very much on the cards. At the time of the previous base rate reduction in August, it said it may cut the base rate later this year. The next base rate announcement is in November.
Earlier today we revealed the various lenders that are yet to pass on the savings to their mortgage customers following the August base rate cut.

We Must Endure 2 Tim 4:3
We Must Endure 2 Tim 4: 3 CLICK TITLE FOR AUDIO
We have to endure some things as Christians. Not all these things we’re going to talk about tonight will come upon you. But if they do, you must endure them. How? By charity. “Charity… endureth all things. Charity never faileth,” [1 Cor 13:7-8]. Jesus endured the cross and the contradiction of sinners against himself, for us [Heb 12:2-3]. Paul endured all things for the elect’s sakes [2 Tim 2:9-13]. In both cases, their motive was charity.
Likewise, we must endure:
Sound doctrine – 2 Tim 4:3 – we are in the age when men can’t endure sound doctrine anymore. Sound doctrine can be hard to take because it is often delivered through rebuke and reproof. Don’t ever grow weary of learning and living by sound doctrine. You endure it by loving God and God’s words [Jn 14:23].
Chastening – Heb 12:5-7 – the Lord chastens us because he loves us. When we love him, we endure his chastening so that he can produce in us the peaceable fruit of righteousness, so that we can be partakers of his holiness [Heb 12:10-11].
Hardness – 2 Tim 2:3 – being a good soldier is hard. When men serve in the Green Berets or Navy Seals or Rangers, they have endured more hardness than most other soldiers can endure. When one of their team is injured, his greatest desire during recovery is to return to the team. There is a bond that develops among the members of the team that makes them willing to endure anything for the sake of their fellow soldiers. We must be the same way in the Lord’s army out of love for our commander and fellow soldiers.
Temptation – Jas 1:12 – everyone has besetting sins. They beat you down like no other sin. The Lord promises the crown of life to you for enduring temptation, because he knows how hard it can be to fight off certain temptations. The crown of life is also given to the tribulation martyrs [Rev 2:10]. The best reason to endure those temptations is that you love the Lord.
Afflictions – 2 Tim 4:5 – afflictions include many causes of suffering. In this case, we’ll deal with health related afflictions. Endure afflictions and keep going for the Lord out of love for his people to whom you minister. Our good friend, Pastor Hank Thompson, endured afflictions with his health his entire ministry due to the burns that he suffered as a child. In his latter years, these afflictions became severe. Nevertheless, he didn’t quit. They said of him, at his funeral, “He preached hard, but he loved hard.” Don’t throw a pity party; endure.
Suffering – 2 Cor 1:5-7 – Paul was intimately acquainted with suffering. He endured it because he loved the Lord and because he loved the people to whom he ministered. He knew that he could console others who were suffering by enduring his own suffering.
Persecutions – 2 Thes 1:3-4 – The Thessalonians endured great persecutions and sufferings as a result of their faith in Christ. But they also abounded in charity. And thus they could endure.
Grief – 1 Pet 2:19 – we haven’t suffered wrongfully in our country. But the day may come that we will. Remember to love those who wrongfully punish you. Remember how Eric Liddell endured the grief of Japanese interment while he was in China as a missionary during WWII. Because he endured his grief by loving his enemies, a young man named Stephen Metcalf, who was interred with him, surrendered to be a missionary. Metcalf served 40 years as a missionary to Japan.
Conclusion: If you are currently suffering under the burden of any of these things, you can endure them through charity. Love the Lord and love others, as he commanded us, so that when these things come upon you, you will endure.

Girlfriend Boyfriend
Monday 11 March 2013, by Jacques Breen
Charting the relationship of three close friends whilst set to the backdrop of a changing political climate in Taiwan. This Golden Horse Award winning drama directed by Ya-Che Yang, succeeds at drawing the viewer into the intimate relationship between these three protagonists, ably performed by Hsiao-chuan Chang (Liam), Gwei Lun-Mei (Mabel) and Rhydian Vaughan (Aaron). Ya-Che Yang’s creative use of extreme close-ups drags the viewer into the personal world space of each of the characters, whilst the driving kaleidoscopic soundtrack carries the viewer through the decades of Taiwan’s democratic reform.
The film’s format of skipping ahead every decade, whilst good in theory, leaves much to be desired in execution. Whilst ostensibly the film covers the political change of Taiwan, the core of the film is the relationship between the three friends. And in each of the decades, just as the drama is about to reach a climax, the film will suddenly skip forward several years, taking away the catharsis and bringing the viewer back to the start of a ’new’ story. The film’s uplifting and humorous first segment paves way for a tragic second and third installment, as the protagonists’ own neurosis and failings are exacerbated by societal pressures. The whole tone and pacing of the film shifts and leaves the viewer having to re-adjust their expectation of where the film is going. And it’s a long film.
Despite it’s failings, this stylish film is impossible to dislike. It’s engrossing low-concept storyline, combined with engaging ’human’ characters and a bittersweet yet uplifting ending will leave you wondering what’s next from this Director who’s been hailed as the next ’Ang Lee’.
Dir: Ya-che Yang, 2012
