“Our pilot study provides indirect evidence that lead exposure in women during childbirth can affect the locus-specific DNA methylation status of grandchildren,” said Ruden. “However, the altered DNA methylation profiles of the grandchildren’s blood are apparently normalized during postnatal development. Also, fetal germline exposure to lead apparently has different epigenetic consequences than acute childhood exposure.”

There’s so much bad news about computer security that we sometimes forget to applaud when something good happens.
Let’s change that right now.
Europol has announced the arrest last month of a 25-year-old French man in Thailand, as part of a year long investigation into a notorious gang of hackers and extortionists.
The gang, known as Rex Mundi, has been operating since at least 2012.
As Bleeping Computer reports, Rex Mundi made a name for itself hacking into corporations to steal data, and then blackmailing victims by threatening to release the sensitive information.
Victims of Rex Mundi included Dominos Pizza, which refused to pay a ransom after the the personal details of some 650,000 customers were stolen by the hackers.
The hackers created a website on the dark web for the purposes of disseminating data that they had stolen.
In a statement, Europol detailed an attempted extortion last year which ultimately resulted in the arrest of gang members:
In May 2017 a British-based company was the victim of a cyber-attack during which a large amount of customer data was compromised. The attack was immediately claimed by an organisation called Rex Mundi.
A few days later, the company received a phone call from a French-speaking person explaining that he was a member of Rex Mundi. This person shared a large number of credentials with the company to prove that they had access to the data.
The corporate victim was told that they would have to pay almost EUR 580,000 to prevent customer data from being disclosed, or EUR 825,000 for information on how the hackers breached security. To increase pressure further, the company was told that for every day that it failed to pay, there would be an additional ransom of EUR 210,000.
All payments were to be made in Bitcoin.
The unnamed British firm contacted the UK’s Metropolitan police, who worked with French high-tech crime police and Europol. Within an hour, Europol man aged to link the available information to a French national.
French authorities arrested five people in June 2017. The main suspect admitted his involvement in the extortion, but said he had hired someone else via the dark web to carry out the hack itself.
French Police went on to arrest two hackers in France in October 2017, and the final piece of the jigsaw, also a French national with coding skills, was arrested on 18 May by the Royal Thai Police under a French international arrest warrant.

Holland based PC accessories company "Nexus" has just launched two new hardcore looking CPU coolers they call the XiR-2300 and XiR-3500. Both are very similar in design with the only notable difference being that the XiR-2300 uses aluminum cooling fins whilst the XiR-3500 uses copper.
Both coolers have a copper base along with four 6mm copper heatpipes. A 92mm PWM fan is also included with each of the coolers.
For more information and pictures, take a look at the official product page here.
The Nexus XiR coolers combine some of the most advanced technologies in the market used for CPU coolers. Heat pipes, SkiveTek and ultra-thin fins combined with a real silent temperature controlled fan delivers ultimate performance which has never been this quiet before.
XiR coolers are crafted out of the purest aluminum and copper materials. The heat sink covering the heat pipes and the copper base is made using SkiveTek technology. We have managed to apply the best technologies at the best position on the cooler. And the result is astonishing...


In order to challenge companies like Jio and Airtel, the government telecom company BSNL has launched a new prepaid of Rs 171. It has been reported that in this prepaid pack, the user will be given 2GB 2G / 3G data for every day. The validity of this prepaid pack is 30 days. Users will get unlimited voice calls in this pack and 100 SMS of free each day. If seen, the user will have 60 GB of data in this recharge pack. In this way, the effective price of 1 GB data is Rs 2.85.
According to the report of Telecom Talk, BSNL users who use this Recharge Pack will be able to enjoy free roaming calls in Mumbai and Delhi circles too. It is worth noting that in other prepaid packs of BSNL, users can not enjoy the free calls in these two circles because this telecom company does not work in Delhi-Mumbai. In addition, there is a limit to the unlimited calling facility and no additional data will be available after using 2 GB of data per day.
Recharge pack of Reliance Jio in the same price range is Rs 198. In this, customers get 2 GB 4G data every day for use. Along with unlimited voice calls and 100 SMS every day. The validity of the plan is 28 days. Airtel has a prepaid pack of 199 bucks. It uses 1.4GB data, unlimited voice calling facility and 100 SMS free every day for the subscriber to use. The price of this Airtel prepaid pack is valid for 28 days.
The cost of data in this prepaid pack of BSNL is less than both prepaid packs. By the way, Vodafone recently made its 199 bucks prepaid packs useful to select users. Now, this telecom company is providing 2.8 GB of data every day for the user to use for 28 days.
Last month, BSNL had introduced a special tariff voucher of Rs 19. With the help of this Recharge Pack, you will be able to make an on-net voice call at 15 paise per minute. The fee for off-net calls is 35 paise per minute. Its validity is 54 days. This Recharge pack is for BSNL’s Tamilnadu and Chennai Circle.


Company Partners with Non Profit to Offer Valuable Lessons for High School Students
El Pollo Loco, the nation’s leading fire-grilled chicken chain, today announced its participation in Force In Training™ (FIT) Day, an annual event organized by the California Restaurant Association Foundation (CRAF) to teach high school students practical skills to help land their first job. Led by volunteers from local restaurants in California, the students learn essentials not necessarily taught in school curriculum such as writing resumes, interview skills and tips for applying for jobs. This one-day classroom takeover will be hosted in 53 high schools across the state of California, training close to a total of 3,500 students. FIT Day is a part of ProStart®, a program offered through CRAF that provides restaurant career-exploration and training programs for high school students.


For the past several weeks I’ve been working on my first Jekyll theme called SpaacedOut. Jekyll themes are also used by GitHub Pages as GitHub Pages are actually a Jekyll site under the hood. The theme is responsive and contains a basic look and feel with a menu on the left in a desktop view and the menu collapsed, but available as a slide out, in a mobile view. This will give you an idea of what the theme looks like:
There are two ways to use this theme:
Install Using the SpaacedOut Gem
I have created this theme as a Ruby gem. This means you can use the gem using the bundler from the command line. To use the gem, it’s quite simple. In your Jekyll site, add a line to your
GEMFILE that looks like this:
1 gem 'spaacedout', '~> 1.0', '>= 1.0.1'`
For the most updated version of this, although the above will pull the latest, copy the code found at https://rubygems.org/gems/spaacedout in the right-side menu under
Next, update your
_config.yml to include the SpaacedOut theme like so:
1 theme: spaacedout
If you have another theme or a remote theme, you’ll want to comment that line out using the hash bang (
Next, run the bundler to update your packages. You can do this by running the following command:
1 bundle install
Finally, you should be set to use the new theme. Be sure to either rebuild your Jekyll site locally or push to GitHub pages to rebuild your application.
Install Using Remote Theme
If you can use the remote theme, this is much, much easier. The reason for this is that you don’t have to mess with versions as you’ll always be pulling down the latest. However, you’re also at the mercy of the developer, me in this case, that I won’t push something up that will break your site. Since I’m using remote theme as well, I’ll be sure I minimize disruption as much as possible and will keep the theme readme up to date with any breaking changes. As of now, I hope to never cause breaking changes, but as time passes, it may be possible.
If you are using GitHub pages, there’s very little you need to do to get started using SpaacedOut as a remote theme.


You can skip past the next two step and proceed from there. However, if you are using Jekyll, there’s one initial step you’ll need to perform.
If you are hosting Jekyll elsewhere, you’ll need to install the remote theme gem. This can be accomplished by modifying your
GEMFILE to include the following line:
1 gem "jekyll-remote-theme"
You’ll also need to install this new gem by running the bundler locally:
1 bundle install
The third step in this process is to ensure that your
_config.yml has the following in the plugins section. To ensure that your configuration pulls together all of the settings that are used in the theme, I highly recommend copying the
_config.yml file from the SpaacedOut repository here.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 plugins: - jekyll-avatar - jekyll-feed - jekyll-paginate - jekyll-remote-theme - jekyll-seo-tag - jekyll-sitemap
Finally, update your
_config.yml to include the remote theme like below:
1 remote_theme: jasongaylord/SpaacedOut
As I mentioned in the third step, if you copy the config from the theme, you won’t have to perform any of these steps. This will all just work.
If you have any feedback for me on the theme, notice any bugs, or want to contribute, I’d like to hear from you. Please submit a comment here. Pull requests are welcome so if you find something that needs improving, I’d be happy to review the PR. Fork the theme to get started.

A report today suggests that infighting at Apple is beginning to drive employees to leave as Apple’s upper management, and two development teams, tries to figure out just what to do with iCloud.
Multiple sources claim that Apple is working on its own internal cloud infrastructure — known as ‘Project McQueen’ — that would reduce its dependence on Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Platform and Microsoft Azure. Currently, Apple is spending in excess of $1 billion a year on the patchwork solution that currently houses your iCloud data.
The report highlights heightened tensions and continuous bickering as upper management wants Siri’s development team to adapt the personal assistant to utilize services that fall under the iCloud teams’s banner, like iTunes and iMessage. Doing so would force thousands of engineers in the iCloud division to cede control.
Put simply, should it be forced to cede control of large projects, the iCloud team is starting to feel a bit uneasy about job security at Apple. One engineering manager has reportedly resigned, and the report makes the claim that more are “likely” to follow.
Despite the tumultuous situation, Apple, for now at least, is moving forward with a plan to revamp its cloud services.

A 27-year-old driver died on the way to Guhawati hospital in Assam, India yesterday morning. He was injured when falling boulders struck the tipper truck he was driving at Melong Brak in Samdrupjongkhar on April 7 night.
The incident occurred around 8:30pm when the deceased was ferrying gypsum from Pemagatshel to Samdrupjongkhar.
His friends, after reporting the accident to Pemagatshel police evacuated him to Dewathang hospital. He suffered severe head injuries and excessive bleeding. He was referred to Guwahati hospital yesterday morning.
Samdrupjongkhar police handed over the body to his cousin and the truck owner yesterday.
Sources suspect the boulders that struck him rolled from loosened soil and rocks along the highway because of blasting and widening works.
Police said commuters should avoid travelling along the Melong Brak stretch at night, as it remains foggy.
Meanwhile, a truck driver, Tashi, 37, said that although the highway remains foggy and risky, they have to travel at night as they have to meet the requirement of ferrying 15 truckloads a month.
He also ferries gypsum from Pemagatshel to Samdrupjongkhar.
“Avoiding travels at night would affect us, as we waste time at the frequent roadblocks at Narphung,” Tashi said.
Truck drivers explained they incur a loss of about Nu 25,000 to 30,000 even if they ferry 14 truckloads a month because of not meeting the criteria, adding that they have to rush because they have to wait for about one to two days for the load.

I have pensions in Norway and the UK. I was told that it is possible to transfer the funds between European countries. But what would happen if I leave Europe and never return?
It depends completely on the specifics of your situation, there is no general rule. I am not sure how EU law applies to this situation and it would in any case not cover the years you worked outside of the EU so you might have to deal with each country individually and the relevant bilateral agreements. You also have to make a distinction between different type of pension systems (e.g. state pension vs. employer-funded pension fund).
In general, the best case scenario is that there is (or will be) some sort of bilateral agreement between the country (or countries) in which you worked and the country in which you will retire that would allow you to transfer your rights to a state pension (e.g. if you worked 10 years in country A and 30 in country B, you are deemed to have worked 40 years in country B and can collect a full pension there). Sometimes, there is no agreement so no way to consolidate your pension rights but it's still possible to receive a pension abroad when you retire (so, in your old age, you would get a little something from country A and a little something from country B each month).
In some countries it's also possible to receive a lump sum when you leave (typically this would not cover your contributions to the basic state pension system but only to a supplementary pension, for countries that have this distinction). It would then be up to you to reinvest that money in some way to provide for your pension later on.
Worse case scenario is that there is no way for you to recover anything and you must forfeit your rights unless you are ready to go back to the country when you retire (and even then, without a full career, your pension may very well be very small or even nil).
Now for the specifics, for the UK, the Department for Work and Pensions provides a list of bilateral agreements but not many details beyond that. There is also something called the International Pension Centre but not much luck there either. I haven't been able to find anything useful for Norway. I don't know the EU rules very well but you should be able to consolidate both of these pensions together. Once you reach retirement, you should apply for a pension to the authorities of the EU country in which you worked last.


Gaël Laurans already did a good job explainig the generics, I'll add some UK specific information.
First of all, the government has a page on how to claim the State Pension when you are living abroad. Depending on when you were born you might need to have enough UK NI contribution years to be able to claim at least some pension. I couldn't find a full table of the data, but there is a pension calculator where you can check the amount you will receive (which might be £0).
In short, if you live abroad you need to contact the International Pension Centre and send them the International State Pension Claim Form. They will need to know your foreign bank account details, and will send the pension to that account. Note that if you are no longer a UK resident, depending on the country you live you might also need to pay both UK and local taxes on your pension. Also the amount of pension you receive will not increase if you are not living in the UK, the EEA, Switzerland or one of the eliglble countries.
The previous was about the State Pension. If you also are in some kind of Workplace Pension Scheme (which has become almost mandatory: as an employee you are automatically enrolled, but you can opt out), then you have to check the company where your Pension Scheme is in. They will usually be either able to pay your pension into a foreign account, give the money back in a lump sum, or forward your earnings to one of the Qualifying Recognised Overseas Pension Schemes (QROPS). You have to check the Terms and Conditions of your Scheme to know what applies to you, and what costs you might have.
If you are also enrolled in a private pensions scheme you have to check their conditions as well. Usually they'll have the same conditions as stated before.


So in typical Anna fashion, this year I decided to start a company, graduate from business school (while my fiancé starts business school), move to a new city, AND PLAN A WEDDING all at the same time. CLASSIC move on my part.
I take a lot of pride in being independent and self-sufficient. When it came to wedding planning, I thought Pinterest and I had it all figured out on our own. Until I realized the toll it would take on my TIME and SANITY (which I value. Highly.) As “chill” as I think I am, I’ve learned that one doesn’t just plan a wedding without having one (or one hundred) full-blown mental breakdowns. (Real talk… can Xanax count as my “something blue?”) That’s why if you value your sanity, I suggest you invest in a wedding planner.
Christine Garrison of CMG Events is helping turn my Pinterest boards into reality (she also moonlights as our therapist and spirit guide). I partnered with her to get you the behind-the-scenes juice that wedding planners wish brides knew.
5 secrets wedding planners wish brides knew…
1. In the end, I’ll actually save you money.
Christine: Wedding Planners aren’t just for the rich and famous. Wedding planners are for those who want expert guidance, and everyone needs some. Most people have never planned an event this big for this many people before, and weddings are a breed all their own. We’ll save you money in the long run through our vendor connections, which typically cover our fee. Vendors frequently discount rates for planners they work with often.
Anna: When you realize that every aspect of planning a wedding is 4X the price you thought it would be… it’s tempting to cut the wedding planner when you can just “do it yourself.” Lol. All I can say I’m SO HAPPY I DIDN’T DO THIS. I’d recommend getting an established, well-connected wedding planner for discounts as Christine mentioned – but even if you go with someone green, you’ll save yourself a little time and sanity (worth it. trust me.)
2. I’ll do whatever it takes to make your day perfect.
Christine: Wedding planners have seen it all, the good, the bad and the ugly. No matter how perfectly we plan, something inevitably goes wrong… but we make sure you NEVER know about it.


I’ve dealt with lost groomsmen, the wrong cake being delivered, crying bridesmaids, broken down shuttles, forgotten marriage licenses, ripped pants, missing bridesmaid bouquets… the list goes on and on. Know and trust that we’ll go to great lengths to make sure nothing dampers your day! Keeping some of the day of disasters quiet is one of our best-kept secrets to making sure you can just sit back, relax, and enjoy your day!
Anna: To our groomsmen reading this… do NOT go missing.
3. I want you to stay present on your big day.
Christine: I know everyone says “your wedding day will go by so fast,” but seriously… this is SO TRUE! When the big day gets here, take in every single moment, stop and notice all those around you, and don’t worry about the details (we have those handled). Just live in the moment, because it really will be over in the blink of an eye. I also like to give my couples the pep talk of, “No matter what happens, you get to marry the love of your life.” That puts everything in perspective because at the end of the day that’s all that matters. Don’t let anything ruin your day! I’ve seen brides who have let little things (like a bridesmaid running late, hair and makeup taking too long, someone not showing up, etc.) really affect their mood for the whole day. It makes me so sad because you can’t get this day back.
Anna: Totally – I love this advice. And by the way, your wedding is one day. Marriage is for the rest of your life!
4. Trust me – I’ve done this before.
Christine: Trust us! Trust in your vendors! You hired us for a reason. We’ve done this a time or two and we know what it takes to pull off an amazing wedding (this is what we do for a living.) We love your feedback, but when it comes down to it, trust in our abilities, recommendations, and advice. We only want the best for you!
Anna: Are you saying my fireworks idea isn’t practical?
5. I LOVE what I do.
Christine: I wake up every day excited with that “live for our clients” type of love.


We are so honored you chose us to join you on this journey, and we don’t take it for granted. We give up our weekends gladly to be apart of your special day. It’s not just a job for us – it’s a passion.
Anna: One of my favorite things about Christine is that she’s a self-boss who left the “big corporate” wedding world to take a leap out on her own. She worked long days, faced countless no’s, questioned her choice, and wondered how she was going to make rent. She hustled every single day and flash forward to now – she has teams in SF and LA that that serve all of California and beyond. She built a successful career out of passion, and now leads a team of like-minded women that are taking CMG Events to the next level. Flex, girl.
The CMG Events team! (Christine Garrison is second from the right)
All I know is on my wedding day, if the cake isn’t delivered, I DON’T WANT TO KNOW ABOUT IT. I just want to live in the moment and enjoy the day I marry the love of my life. This year is crazy enough as it is – and I’m so happy we made the choice to work with a wedding planner – so Tracy and I can save our mental energy for the fun stuff.

A Place for Grief : Rethinking Responses to Serena Williams' U.S. Open Performance by Shayna S. Israel
On this day of mourning, I reflect on the power of what it means to grieve. On this day, September 11th, seventeen years ago, I was a little girl from Brooklyn in the library of my high school, 90 miles away from New York City. That summer, I recently moved into the “Girls’ House” of the A Better Chance boarding school program, just outside a suburb of Philadelphia. In that library, like millions of Americans, I watched the towers fall in a plume of ash and smoke. From the hallways, I ran in, to find a TV after I heard the first tower had been hit, and saw the plane hit the second tower. My mouth dropped open. The librarian saw me, came and stood next to me, watching beside me. I could not believe what I was seeing. I felt helpless, from my 90 miles away.
The effects from that day are still rippling. The rolls are increasing by hundreds of applicants each month at the World Trade Center Health Program . Fire Fighters, first responders and recovery workers at Ground Zero are still suffering health and lung disease complications . Nearly 7,000 U.S. soldiers and 800,000 civilians died in the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars . The people who lost their lives in those towers, nearly 3,000.
Years later I returned to New York City. This time working security at Vesey Street at the American Express tower in Lower Manhattan, after graduating college. At the AmEx tower, there is a reflective pool. Surrounding the pool are the faces of the AmEx employees who died that day. From the ceiling there are syncopated falling drops of water. Right above the pool's surface hovering--giant quartz crystal. The onyx colored pool doesn’t allow you to see in, only your reflection behind the placards telling the stories of the lives lost.
We have monuments for a reason. They help us place our mourning—and our anger, too.
In the frenzy following 9/11, there were calls for retribution that drowned out the voices calling out for thorough investigations, healing and rebuilding. People were angry, justifiably angry—and were seeking some locatable place or person on whom to unleash it.
Anger is a tricky thing.


It like all emotions, must go somewhere—and like all emotions, derives from some place good. Emotions, even those inspired by the best intentions, can get corrupted along the way, amplified or misplaced.
Many Arab and Muslim-Americans in the wake of the 9/11 terrorist attacks were targets of over 600 “vigilante attacks and threats” . Many Muslim-Americans began self-policing and working with law enforcement in counterterrorist and de-radicalization initiatives . Yes, there is, like in all communities, a radical fringe wing that does not represent the views and predilections of the group as a whole. The increase in terrorist attacks that the country that has seen since has been in the rise of domestic terrorism by lone gunmen.
Seventeen years later, two wars later, are we safer—and have we fully grieved those we have lost? In some ways, yes. In some ways, we still, as a country have a long way to go.
There are stages to grief. Healing from it is a process. Grief unattended sometimes becomes so bottled that it ferments in to anger.
What have we as Americans not grieved?
The Unite the Right events in Charlottesville, the protests in Ferguson, the Women’s March on Washington, have all shown us that we are still reeling over many of the legacies of injustice in our society. We have shown healthy ways to respond to our grievances. The Black Lives Matter movement offers a multi-race coalition around police brutality; there have been the students from Marjory Stoneman Douglas organizing across the country to bring awareness to gun control; there have been a huge wave of minority candidates running for elected office unequalled in the country’s history including women, LGBTQ, people of color—and Muslim candidates. We have made progress. We have a ways to go.
I talk about 9/11 in a post about the Serena Williams and Naomi Osaka because I want us as a country to make a connection between what happened on that tennis court, at the Arthur Ashe Stadium and how the country deals with anger.
Williams got angry—justifiably angry. Carlos Ramos got testy—justifiably testy. I would argue that he, too, got angry and used a technicality to unleash his anger on an already tense situation. What I want to highlight is: We have two models of how Americans get angry.


Williams' rage was easily locatable, easier to point at. Ramos' rage was more evasive and masked, yet no less forceful in that his call ended Williams' and Osaka's well-matched, high-stakes game. Both Williams and Ramos equally escalated their anger such that the stunning performance by Naomi Osaka was eclipsed. (By the way, one of her returns clocked in at 114mph. Impressive!)
Anger is a need. Nikki Giovanni at the assignation of Dr. Martin Luther King wrote a poem where she questioned the "rightness" in trying to tell a lover how to mourn for a beloved . What Giovanni was bringing into focus is that when we are grieving, not all of us can be composed--someone needs to be angry.
Williams was angry, but according to Juliet Macur, at the wrong time about the right issue. Macur writes, “Let’s be clear: Tennis has a problem with gender equality,” she continues, in writing about Ms. Williams, “She completely had the right message about women’s inequality, but it wasn’t the right time to bring it up” . Macur’s piece is a poignant one to read. It is balanced in its perspective on each of the three persons involved, Williams, Ramos and Osaka.
"When we are grieving, not all of us can be composed--someone needs to be angry."
In an article titled, “How Neko Case Finally Unleashed Her Feminist Rage,” Joe Coscarelli interviews singer Neko Case on her new album “Hell-On," released earlier this summer, where “she confronts challenges and celebrates the power she was able to unlock.” While unlocking righteous feminist outrage, she also unraveled a depth of grief. Last year a fire decimated Case’s village and home in Vermont. Singing helped her process much of her grief. The blaze consumed a barn full of horses, dogs, cats and baby chickens. Case, distraught, described the aftermath of the tragedy—as “a seven-car pileup of emotions” . She’s still reeling from it.


Serena Williams, while justifiably angry, may have, in slamming her racket, demonstrated a visible representation of a “seven-car pileup of emotions.” Her finger wag at Ramos while calling him a thief and asking for him to apologize, may have been a larger plea to have a decade and a half of slights and overt bigotry that she had not fully placed—placed. Her finger wagging was pointing to a need: She wanted her pain recognized.
Anger is a call to transfer tensions from a resulting hurt to a structured, definitive place that can handle it, dissipate it or meet its need.
Ms. Williams has much to grieve. Most recently, after giving birth and all of the emotions that come with it. She suffered life-threatening complications that followed. She may have needed some time to mourn—the trauma to her body, the many years of vociferous commentary about her body--before getting back onto the court. She may have needed an intimate memorial, a place to put her grief.


As more takeaways open to walk-in customers and restaurants look tentatively at reopening from next month, maintaining the highest hygiene standards is imperative, says Garry Rosser, KFE School of Frying Excellence trainer and owner of The Scallop Shell and The Oyster Shell in Bath.
“It’s important to operate hygienically, even without covid. The bottom line is people are coming in and putting their health in our hands so we have a responsibility to make sure those people are safe. And there are many ways we can do that.”
Take your temperatures
I’ve got infrared thermometers so when we first go into work we take our temperatures and ask if anyone has any symptoms. It gives us all peace of mind, knowing no one has any symptoms or a fever, and means we feel relatively safe.
No to gloves
If you touch your face or any part of your body with gloves on, your brain doesn’t automatically tell you to wash your hands. But if you do it without gloves on, your brain tells you to wash them, it’s just instinct. It’s different if you’re using gloves for prep reasons, but for safety reasons I wouldn’t recommend them.
One of the first things I did when I reopened the takeaway was move everything off the work surfaces so they are free from clutter. The microwave, the cans of oil, they were all moved so I could sanitise the full work surface and know that every part is clean.
Stock what you need
Stock less by ordering what you need. Not only will stock rotation be a lot easier, but you’ll find cleaning much easier and quicker too.
Replace your paper checklists and records with a digital system checker. There are lots of simple ones out there (we use iAuditor), they don’t cost a lot of money and they make life a lot easier. All the results are saved to the cloud so you won’t have any paperwork and when the EHO comes in, it’s all there – it can’t get destroyed or lost. I also get an alert if a check hasn’t been done, so I can phone up the takeaway and ask why they haven’t done their safety checks today.
A final sanitise
Once you’ve cleaned down at the end of the day, give everything a final sanitise. The fridge doors, the surfaces, anywhere people have been putting their hands, and re-sanitise as soon as you enter the takeaway the next morning.


Keep teams together
If you’re opening on reduced hours ensure the safety of your staff by keeping the same team members working together. For example, we’re open four days a week so rather than bring 16 back part-time, I’ve got four on full-time so we’re not mixing who we’re working with.

Brandon Forrest returned the opening kickoff 90 yards for a touchdown and it was off to races for the visiting Palisades High Dolphins as they routed University, 31-0, last Friday to take sole possession of first place in the Western League.
Pali is now 3-0 (7-1 on the season) and Venice and Fairfax are both 2-1, after Venice crushed Fairfax 63-32 on Friday.
After Forrest’s TD run, Tommy Meek’s PAT and a 38-yard field goal by Meek gave Pali a 10-0 lead in the first quarter, the question wasn’t whether the Dolphins would win, but rather by how much.
Late in the quarter, the Dolphins drove 55 yards for another touchdown, with quarterback Forrest Brock passing 9 yards to Jared La Violette for the TD, following some good runs by Max Palees, Kenny Cline, Isaias Alegria and Brandon Forrest. Junior Sebastian Burt-Conway kicked the PAT.
After the Wildcats were once again forced to punt, Pali marched 80 yards to score again, this time on a 35-yard pass from Brock to Teddy Suisman. Meek’s PAT pushed the score to 24-0.
The teams went scoreless in the third quarter, and the night’s scoring ended with a 55-yard scoring drive, capped off by Isaias Alegria’s 12-yard dash. (The junior was named offensive player of the game by MaxPreps, after he finished with 61 yards on eight carries.)
Pali’s two key defensive players, Syaire Riley and Noah Ghodooshim, helped make it impossible for the University offense to gain any traction. The two were chosen by MaxPreps as the defensive (Ghodooshim) and overall player (Riley) of the game. Riley was credited with five solo tackles and five assists. Ghodooshim had four tackles and three assists.
It was a lackluster game, especially in the second half, and the Dolphins looked tired. Rightly so, they had defeated rival Venice at home just four days earlier (the game had been moved from October 11 to October 14 because of smoke from brush fires).
“Today was hard,” Palisades Head Coach Tim Hyde told his players after the game, acknowledging the two games in five days.


“I know that.” But he reminded them that no matter who they played, “If you want to win a championship, you have to play 100 percent.”
He told his players they lacked focus and that “You didn’t respect them [University] enough to give them your best.”
Hyde’s team should handily beat Hamilton (1-2) at home this Friday at 7 p.m., followed by a tougher game against Fairfax a week later. Westchester, which lost to Pali in the league opener, walloped Hamilton last Friday, 60-28.
“We have two weeks to go to be undefeated in league,” Hyde said, and then added, “I want a home game in the open division.” (In last year’s eight-team open division playoffs, the Dolphins were ranked seventh and had to travel to second-seed Eagle Rock, losing 24-21.


New Delhi: The new COVID-19 variant Omicron has reached community transmission level in India, said Indian SARS-CoV-2 Consortium on Genomics (INSACOG) on Sunday.
“Omicron is now in community transmission stage in India and has become dominant in multiple metros, where new cases have been rising exponentially”, said INSACOG in its recent bulletin published on Sunday.
The INSACOG reports genomic surveillance of SARS CoV-2 across the country through sequencing of samples from Sentinel sites and also detailed State wise district analysis for some states.
The Genomics research organisation has also said that an infectious sub-variant of Omicron BA.2 lineage has been detected in a considerable fraction in India.
“BA.2 lineage is a substantial fraction in India and S-gene dropout based screening is thus likely to give high false negatives. Tests suitable for PCR based screening applicable to all Omicron lineages have been approved for use”, said the genomics consortium in its bulletin.
Threat level remains unchanged
The INSACOG has said that while most Omicron cases so far have been asymptomatic or mild, hospitalisations and ICU cases have been increasing in the current wave. The threat level remains unchanged.
“The recently reported B.1.640.2 lineage is being monitored. There is no evidence of rapid spread and while it has features of immune escape, it is currently not a variant of concern. So far, no case detected in India”, the bulletin reads further.
The Covid research body has said that at global level, the majority of severe cases and deaths have been in unvaccinated subjects, with high protection associated with vaccination or previous infection.
Meanwhile, India reported over 300,000 new COVID-19 infections for the fourth straight day even though the caseload over the last 24 hours was slightly lower than a day before, data released by the government on Sunday showed.
India reported 333,533 new COVID-19 infections over the past 24 hours with 525 dead, according to the figures released by the government.
India’s total death toll due to COVID-19 now stands at 489,409, the health ministry said. On Saturday, India had reported 337,704 new cases of COVID-19 and 488 dead.
The government in the statement said the recovery rate for infected people currently stands at 93.18 per cent.


Since the start of this year, different parts of the country are under varying degrees of restrictions to contain infections caused by highly transmissible Omicron variant.
India’s capital Delhi has imposed a weekend curfew and even though it was widely expected that Delhi will ease some restrictions, the local government decided on Friday to continue with the curfew.
The federal government said it tested 1.87 million people in the last 24 hours and it planned to continue to expand its testing through the country.

What Employers and Employees Should Know About Proposed Changes to National Minimum Wage and Overtime Regulations
By Andrew H. Dekle, Bouhan Falligant LLP
Special to Savannah Morning News
On July 6, the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) officially published proposed changes to the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) regulations, first announced on June 30. If these new rules become law, they could substantially increase the number of office workers, professionals, and other white-collar employees entitled to receive federal minimum wage protection and overtime pay (compensation at one and one-half times an employee’s regular rate for hours worked in excess of 40 hours per workweek).
Currently, many, but not all, white-collar workers cannot claim the federal minimum wage or overtime because they are exempt from the FLSA’s minimum wage and overtime requirements. The rationale for this exemption is that white-collar employees typically earn more than minimum wage, enjoy above-average fringe benefits, and experience greater opportunities for career advancement than other workers. The DOL exempts some professionals, such as teachers, lawyers, and doctors, regardless of salary. However, most other white-collar workers are exempt only if they receive a predetermined, fixed salary of at least $455 a week (or $23,660 a year) and perform qualifying executive, managerial, administrative, or professional duties identified by the DOL.
If its proposed regulations go into effect as planned, the DOL will raise the current salary threshold for the white-collar exemption from $455 per week to $970 per week (or $50,440 per year). The DOL did not reach this new salary level by simply adjusting the current threshold for inflation (which would result in a weekly salary level of $561). Rather, the DOL wants to set and maintain the exemption threshold at a salary equal to the 40th percentile of weekly earnings for all full-time salaried workers as calculated by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Clearly, the DOL seeks to expand the types of white-collar employees eligible for overtime, not just preserve the status quo, and to encourage employers to hire more workers to avoid paying overtime.
The DOL boasts that its proposal will make 4.7 million white-collar workers eligible for overtime who are currently exempt. That does not mean, however, that 4.7 million Americans will bring home a bigger paycheck.


The DOL projects that 74.7 percent of affected workers (approximately 3.5 million people) will not earn any extra income because they work less than 40 hours per week. Of the 25.3 percent of affected workers actually expected to benefit from the rules change, only 931,000 workers are expected to regularly receive overtime compensation and only 71,000 individuals are expected to receive a salary increase so that they will remain exempt employees. The DOL acknowledges that some employees may lose their salaried status for an hourly wage, may be limited to working 40 hours, or may be denied the option to work remotely because of the challenges associated with tracking hours logged outside of the office.
The DOL conservatively estimates that American businesses will spend more than $254 million just to review the new regulations. In making this projection, the DOL assumed that it would only take businesses one hour to fully understand the change in the law. The DOL made similar calculations to estimate that employers would spend approximately $338 million to implement the new rules. In addition to these compliance costs, the DOL projects that increasing the salary level for the white-collar exemption will transfer more than $1.3 billion from employers to employees in the form of overtime pay.
The DOL’s proposed regulations also invite public comment on changes to the job duties test for the white-collar exemption, such as requiring employees to spend a minimum amount of time performing exempt work.
Businesses concerned about how these proposed regulations might affect their bottom line should:
1) Review current salary levels and job responsibilities to determine how many employees currently qualify for the white-collar exemption and determine which employees, if any, would lose exempt status if the proposed regulations go into effect.
2) Review DOL regulations regarding the computation of overtime for salaried employees and estimate how much overtime would be paid to employees under the new regulations if their current salaries remain unchanged.
3) Consider hiring new employees to avoid paying overtime or reducing staff to cut overall labor costs. Before terminating any employees, however, employers should review the terms of their employment contracts as well as anti-discrimination laws to reduce the chance of wrongful termination lawsuits.
4) Review and update systems for tracking employee time.
5) Monitor the status of the proposed regulations, especially possible changes to the duties test.
The public may comment on the DOL’s proposed regulation until September 4, 2015, at www.dol.gov/whd/overtime/NPRM2015/.


As the DOL seeks to set a national standard for the white-collar exemption, interested Georgians should provide feedback to the DOL to ensure that the needs of our region are considered during the rulemaking process.

Cost of Attendance
A student’s cost of education is made up of both billed costs (tuition and fees) and indirect costs (living expenses, books, and supplies). Students may receive financial aid up to (but not exceeding) their total cost of education each academic year.
The living expense allowance portion of a student’s cost of education is determined based on a survey of currently enrolled students and the US Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics cost of living averages for the Boston metropolitan area. Currently, the living expense allowance is $2,200 per month for students living in an off-campus apartment or home and $900 per month for students living parents or relatives. A more detailed breakdown of the components is available in the Student Loan Handbook. Information on housing options in the Boston area is available here.


BERNARDS TOWNSHIP, NJ - Watchung Hills remains unbeaten after a 3-1 victory over Pingry on Wednesday. Watchung Hills also has wins over Montgomery and Somerville and through the three games the Warriors have outscored opponents 10-2.
“I’m very proud of the effort we gave today,” said WHRHS head coach Brian Figueriedo. “Pingry has an outstanding team and it’s not easy to go there and win and we battled our way through it today and found a way. I’m hoping we can become more consistent for 80 minutes in all aspects of our game, but right now I’m thrilled to be 3-0 to start our season.”
Ava Prisco, Jenna Tobia, and Claudia Ferreira scored for Watchung Hills on assists from Lauren Dolce, Paige Thomas, and Ava Prisco. Rebecca Schell was fierce in goal stopping 13 shots for Watchung Hills.
Watchung Hills next faces Ridge away on Saturday.


Everyone is always looking for the next big thing. A few years back, “craft tea” was supposed to be just that. Boutique tea shops began popping up around the world, and it seemed to have a vibe similar to the rise of third-wave coffee. Kevin Rose, for example, has long been a lover and advocate for tea.
But yesterday Starbucks announced it was closing all of its 300-plus Teavana locations, which may be a harbinger for this niche market. In its earnings report, Starbucks explained that “mall-based Teavana retail stores have been persistently underperforming.”
Despite the fact that business is booming for the coffee giant, the segment that accounts for the 300-plus Teavana stores saw a decrease in revenue compared to 2016, as well as a marked increase in operating loss. In short, tea isn’t the hip moneymaker Starbucks thought it could be. While this case is specific to Starbucks, I myself have anecdotally noticed the decline of hip tea-only vendors, while a market report from September of last year warned that the specialty tea market in the U.S. and Canada was “sluggish.”
Of course, it should be noted that the tea market is huge—in fact, it’s global consumption numbers are much bigger than coffee, according to Statista. But the craft part of it, which has received much fanfare for years, may just not be the next big thing. At least not for Starbucks.


Today one of most importent pair is EURUSD. If You look at the monthly chart, very easy you can notice specific situation.

Size: Don’t put too much importance on trying to perfect the size of a preemie item of clothing. There is a great difference between premature baby sizes and so an item of any size should be suitable for at least one baby. As a general guide premature babies head circumference is roughly the same as their chest circumference. The average premature babies chest measurements are 8”-14”. However clothes of all sizes are needed for preemies, so no matter how big or small your item is it will most likely fit at least one baby.

About Rationally Speaking
Rationally Speaking is a blog maintained by Prof. Massimo Pigliucci, a philosopher at the City University of New York. The blog reflects the Enlightenment figure Marquis de Condorcet's idea of what a public intellectual (yes, we know, that's such a bad word) ought to be: someone who devotes himself to "the tracking down of prejudices in the hiding places where priests, the schools, the government, and all long-established institutions had gathered and protected them."

Maldives / AFP
Maldives police have released 16 journalists arrested during a protest against a perceived government crackdown on press freedom on the politically troubled holiday islands, officials said on Monday. The journalists, which the government said were released late Sunday, have been ordered to report to police for questioning over the demonstration held outside President Abdulla Yameen’s office in the capital Male. “We were told that we disobeyed police orders and they want to question us further,” ZaheenaRasheed, an editor of the private Maldives Independent website, said.
Police used pepper spray to break up Sunday’s protest against the government’s move to criminalise defamation, which media fear will be used to stifle freedom of speech. A draft bill proposes heavy fines and jail terms for offenders.
The government said in a statement the demonstration was broken up because journalists were gathered in “a high security zone, where protesting is prohibited”, adding that the group was detained for 10 hours in total.
Political turmoil in the Maldives has dented its image as a peaceful paradise for well-heeled honeymooners. The Indian Ocean nation adopted multiparty democracy in 2008 after decades of autocratic rule, but has faced international criticism over a recent erosion of rights. Rasheed said the released media met on Monday with US ambassador AtulKeshap, who was visiting from Sri Lanka where he is based.

The Wall Street Journal: Plotting the Best Holiday Shopping Attack
The Wall Street Journal business of fashion reporter, Ray A. Smith, used DynamicAction Retail Index data as the cornerstone of his holiday analysis for his article Plotting the Best Holiday Shopping Attack.
Smith and DynamicAction CMO, Sarah Engel, discussed the shifts in retailing strategy during these high-stakes times, consumer shifts, profit-protecting intelligent promo offerings and what the next few weeks will hold for both shoppers and retailers.
“Shoppers got a taste of this earlier this month as more retailers promoted big discounts earlier than in the past. During the first week of November, the number of online purchases taking advantage of a markdown rose 16% over the same period in 2016, according to retail analytics firm DynamicAction, which analyzed $3.5 billion in online consumer transactions in North America. That compared with a 21% decrease during the first week of November 2016 compared with the first week of November 2015.
….Much of this year’s sales growth was driven by shopping online, where promotions were heavy. On Thanksgiving Day, for example, the number of online orders placed that took advantage of a markdown in North America rose 12% compared with Thanksgiving Day 2016, according to DynamicAction. And there was a 10% decrease in full-priced purchases this year.
Still, consumers can expect to see more and deeper discounts in coming weeks. ‘Retailers are certainly saving their big deals until later,’ said Sarah Engel, chief marketing officer at DynamicAction. ‘Just because they launched some of their promotions earlier, it doesn’t mean consumers won’t get good deals.’ They just may be more targeted and selective.”

: ANYONE TAKING THIS PRODUCT &
: DOES IT WORK? THINKING ABOUT TRYING
: THIS OR ULTIMATE LEAN ROUTINE.
That's funny that's you asked because I was in the same dilema 2 months ago. Here's how I made my decision to go with the Slimsense program. Slimsense makes a fat and sugar blocker which is combined in one bottle for the price of $16.99. Ultimate Lean Routine (ULR) has a fat neutralizer in one bottle for $39.99 Plus you have to buy the carb blocker separately for an additional $19.99! The appetite suppressant and calorie burner are also separate and cost around $90 dollars for both whereas Slimsense's does the same thing in one bottle for $19.99. That's what it came down to for me. Anyway, I've been using it for approx. 2 months with low fat eating and exercise and I've lost a total of 16 pounds. It's been relatively effortless and I'm never hungry. I have a ways to go before I reach my desired weight loss goals but I'll keep you posted.

Today Vodafone announced that they will offer the Samsung F700 exclusively in Germany starting in November .
Samsung announced the F700 back in February. It has a touch screen like the Apple iPhone, but also has a slide-out QWERTY keyboard.
Other features of the Samsung F700 include a 2.78 inch TFT Touch Screen with 440x240px resolution 3G connectivity, 3MP camera, microSD card slot, and media player.Measurements of the Samsung F700 are 104 x 50 x 16.4mm. The iPhone is 5mm thinner, but 10mm wider, and 10mm taller.
The F700 runs the awarding winning Samsung Croix user interface.
The Samsung F700 is a valid iPhone contender. Wi-Fi is missing and of course it is not working with iTunes.
Vodafone is obviously not in a deal with Apple to offer the iPhone. T-Mobile has still not come forward, but it is pretty sure that they will offer the iPhone in Germany.

China superimposes on Maldives
China is now Africa’s largest trading partner, and it offers loans, grants and development deals without the anticorruption strings favored by the United States and Europe. Yet in most of the countries French travels to, Africans complain about inferior Chinese goods and shoddy infrastructure, like the new roads the Chinese have built.
Africans — from government, civil society and ancestral communities — speak about how public officials, engaged in what French calls “gangster capitalism,” are failing to hold Chinese investors accountable. A pervasive lack of transparency ...
French concludes that Chinese migration to the continent falls within a wider tradition of foreign powers establishing spheres of economic influence in Africa, and he doesn’t doubt that China’s political demands on Africa will grow. This is probably true. But if Africa fails to capitalize on its wealth to the benefit of future generations, it won’t be entirely China’s fault.
Assessing the Chinese themselves, Barry adds, “The Chinese come and they want your iron, your bauxite, your petroleum. In return, they’ll deliver you turnkey projects, where they supply the materials, the technology and the labor, with salaries that are mostly not paid in the country and do not contribute to the economy.” China has long financed such projects in places like the Congo and Guinea without regard to their internal affairs, and this has earned the Chinese considerable criticism in much of the rest of the world.
While in Freetown, French met with Joseph Rahall, head of an NGO (non-governmental organization) called Green Scenery, that was engaged in building Sierra Leone’s civil society. Rahall observes, “The Chinese work in a very peculiar manner. They prefer to deal directly with the president and to make a spectacular gesture, and that is that. They don’t go for any public discussion, and they won’t give importance to many international norms, or to civil society, or to principles like democracy. That is the backdrop to some of their big deals in the country – not just iron, but also for oil and timber.” He continues that where the West wags its finger at you, calling your corrupt, the Chinese are there.


This was the so-called “Chinese alternative”; in Rahall’s opinion, you are “stuck between the devil [the West] and the deep blue sea.” This, together with Sierra Leone’s weakness in dealing with domestic corruption, makes for particularly attractive economic opportunities, such as the Timis deal, for China.
“He said the Chinese are coming and they are very enterprising, so you must be careful. I [Boly] told him that the Chinese were predators in the same way that the French were. The only difference is that the Chinese theft is the theft of an office clerk. A long time will go by before you understand what has befallen you.”
And speaking to French, Boly reinforces that image of the Chinese: “China has a means of advancing which is different from that of the West. They are like a boa: it observes its prey quietly, taking its time. In the same way, the Chinese are waiting for a long-term return. They’re waiting for a maximal result.”


Vulcan more than doubles its share price, investors look at travel and hospitality recovery and … your five small caps to watch
This is an older exclusive article for FinFeed subscribers which is now opened up. If you'd like to see new exclusive articles every week, please subscribe to our newsletter.
Vulcan Energy Resources (ASX:VUL | FWB: 6KO) has doubled its share price since its low point in March, when COVID-19 struck global markets.
The company’s recovery on the market, is due to the work it is doing to help the world become a more sustainable place.
When COVID-19 struck, Vulcan’s stock was sold off to as low as 15 cents per share. On Friday it had climbed back up to 36 cents.
Further gains are predicted for the company, with German research house Alster Research setting a price target of $2.45 (€1.45) per share on VUL. Alster stated, this would be “the first time in our company history of 14 years we initiate coverage with a ten-bagger”.
The $15 million capped Vulcan, is attracting increased attention as it seeks to supply the crucial battery material, lithium hydroxide, to the European electric vehicle battery market (EVBM) — the fastest growing EVBM market in the world.
As the European Union has set a goal to become climate neutral by 2050, it’s not a bad space to be.
To achieve climate neutrality in 2050, a European Climate Law has been proposed that would turn the political commitment into a legal obligation and a trigger for investment.
The EU says reaching this target will require action by all sectors of the economy and includes investing in environmentally-friendly technologies, rolling out cleaner, cheaper and healthier forms of private and public transport and decarbonising the energy sector.
Vulcan is extracting lithium from brine using geothermal power, via a process that generates zero net carbon emissions.
Importantly for the company, its investors and Europe’s sustainability targets, the Vulcan Zero Carbon LithiumTM Project became the first negative-carbon lithium project in the world — right in the heart of Europe’s auto and EV battery industry.
Investors look to tourism and hospitality
This week eToro’s Adam Vitesse wrote that “investors are looking to data showing the return of demand for travel, restaurant outings and other consumer categories.


For example, while the number of passengers passing through transport security checkpoints in the US on 24 May was 87% lower than a year earlier, it was more than triple the figure on 14 April.
“Investors are also anticipating more economic stimulus to come in the US and Europe, with the European Union revealing a 750 billion euro plan yesterday after months of negotiations. There are still reasons for caution, however, with all 50 US states in some form of reopening, there are now 17 where the number of coronavirus cases are rising once again.
International stocks to watch
Salesforce (NYSE: CRM)
“Ahead of its Thursday earnings report, Salesforce announced a partnership with Workday to deliver tools aimed at helping companies reopen safely, which sent Salesforce stock up more than 2% in after-hours trading,” Vitesse says.
“Salesforce’s share price is up more than 8% in 2020 so far, as the software and services it provides stand to benefit from companies being forced to digitise their operations with their workforces stuck at home. On the firm’s earnings call, analysts will likely probe company management on how much of the temporary behavioural shift they expect to stick over the long-term. Currently, Wall Street analysts fall heavily in favour of a buy rating on the stock.”
Costco (NASDAQ: COST)
“As with many other grocery stores, Costco found itself on the receiving end of a surge in demand thanks to shoppers stocking up on goods due to the pandemic. Its share price is up 4.1% accordingly, and 27.1% over the past 12 months. The firm reports quarterly earnings today post-market close, investors will be watching for whether demand is maintained now that the initial panic has subsided. Analyst expectations for Costco’s earnings-per-share figure for the quarter have fallen marginally over the past three months, from $2.01 three months ago to $1.92 now.”
Dell Technologies (NYSE: DELL)
“Following HP, rival PC firm Dell reports its own Q1 earnings today. The company’s share price is down roughly in line with the broader market in 2020, but was falling in the run up to the Covid-19 crisis, and is down 31.1% over the past 12 months.


“Similar to HP, while the firm is likely to be benefiting from increased sales of laptops, monitors and other devices while people are stuck working from home, companies are likely to be pulling back on large investment in technology at their offices or for other projects. Currently, seven Wall Street analysts rate Dell as a buy, two as an overweight and 10 as a hold,” Vitesse concluded.
5 Aussie small caps to watch
- Vulcan Resources (ASX:VUL)
Vulcan was up 28.57% on Friday on the back of the release of a Next Small Cap article. The company finished the week at 36 cents
2. GTi Resources (ASX: GTR)
GTR has continued its good form this week, rising 25.71% for the week.
3. DiscovEx Resources (ASX: DCX)
DCX was as high as 75% this week Limited today closed up 75%, based on follow-up work at the Hornet Prospect in the southern Laverton District of Western Australia, which indicates the potential for a major new gold discovery in the region.
4. Drone Shield Limited (ASX:
was as high as 62% following a follow up tender after its DroneGun TacticalTM product was selected as the preferred solution by the European Union police forces.
5. ImpediMed Limited (ASX:IPD)
was as high as 36% and is still riding the wave of proceeds of US$1,140,202 gained pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program under the US Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act.
The best and worst performing sectors
The financial sector is up over 15 per cent, as the big four banks are all doing well with three currently up over 20 per cent. Consumer Discretionary and Communication Services are the next best sectors, as both are up around 6 per cent. The worst sectors include Healthcare, which is currently just in the green, while Materials and Consumer Staples are up over 2 percent at time of writing.
Of the ASX top 100 stocks, Wealth Within’s Dale Gillham says, “Virgin Money rose strongly on Wednesday and Thursday, and is currently up 37 per cent for the week, followed by last week’s worst performer, Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield, which has turned to rise around over 24 per cent so far this week.


That said, I wouldn’t get too excited about this stock just yet. This is followed by three of the big four banks with Westpac, ANZ and NAB all up around 22 per cent so far. The worst performers include Newcrest Mining down over 5 per cent, Northern Star Resources down just under 5 per cent and ResMed, which is down over 3 per cent so far this week.”
So what's next for the Australian share market?
“After showing signs of indecision over the past six weeks, which caused the All Ordinaries Index to move in a sideways pattern, the market has finally chosen a direction, as it moves up, “Gillham says. “While investors want certainty, this is not how the stock market works, as it runs on probability. And while the probability over the past couple of months has indicated the market has been weak, the pendulum has now swung in the right direction, as the market is looking much stronger.
“Over the past two weeks, I indicated that the All Ordinaries Index would pick a direction soon and this week it did just that with a strong rise of over 6 per cent and it is now well above the important resistance level at around 5800 points. Barring any negative news, I expect the current move up to continue over the next few weeks into mid-June and possibly late July. That said, we may see some short-term resistance around 6,200 points over the next two weeks. For those looking to enter the market, it would be wise to take a staged approach rather than a boots and all attitude.”

Salisbury, MD - The Delmarva Shorebirds fell to the Savannah Sand Gnats by the final score of 3-2 on Wednesday night. The Shorebirds put the tying and winning runs in scoring position in the ninth, but Savannah escaped to earn the series win.
Delmarva struck first in the bottom of the first inning. Gregory Lorenzo lined a single to left field, and then he swiped second base. With two outs, Jeff Kemp hit a hard line drive, stopped by a diving L.J. Mazzilli at second base. Kemp reached on an infield single, but Mazzilli's throw was wide of the bag, allowing Lorenzo to score.
Savannah took its own lead in the third inning, doing damage with the bottom of the order. Matt Oberste sliced a ground-rule double to the right field corner. Colton Plaia then smashed an RBI triple to deep right-center. After a popout and walk, Jeff McNeil hit a slow roller to shortstop. Jeff Kemp's throw was high, taking Mancini off the bag. The error allowed Plaia to score on what would have been the final out of the inning.
The Shorebirds knotted the game at two runs apiece in the bottom of the third inning. Lorenzo singled again, and then picked up his second stole base of the game. Jeff Kemp pulled a line drive double to bring home Lorenzo and tie the game 2-2.
The game remained tied until the seventh inning. Delmarva starter Steven Brault settled for a no-decision in his home debut, allowing two runs (one earned). With reliever Dennis Torres on the hill, Savannah reestablished their lead in the seventh. Victor Cruzado led off with a triple, and Dominic Smith gave the Sand Gnats a 3-2 lead with a sacrifice fly.
Delmarva threatened in the ninth inning, but fell one play short of the comeback. With two outs, Mike Yastrzemski singled to right and Gregory Lorenzo reached on a walk. After a double steal, the Shorebirds had the tying run on third and winning run on second. Trey Mancini belted a deep fly ball to center, but Patrick Biondi tracked it down for the final out.
The Shorebirds now host the Charleston RiverDogs for a four-game series starting on Thursday.


Left-hander Mitch Horacek (0-1, 2.89) starts in the series opener against Charleston southpaw Caleb Smith (1-1, 1.26). First pitch is scheduled for 7:05 pm at Perdue Stadium.


Getting up close to a Broadway star can cost you more than $300 a seat for the most popular shows running in New York. But a front row seat on Twitter or Facebook is always free.
The current Broadway season, which comes to a close Sunday at the Tony Awards, featured a robust contingent of stars who used social media to provide fans with a peek behind the curtains. At a time when nearly every musical or play has its own Twitter feed, Facebook page, YouTube channel and Instagram account, many performers brought a personal touch to Broadway's digital clutter.
Holland Taylor, who is appearing in "Ann," her solo show at the Vivian Beaumont Theatre about former Texas Gov. Ann Richards, has tweeted backstage photos of herself with visitors including Bill and Hillary Clinton, and Meryl Streep.
Taylor, an outspoken liberal who has often tweeted her opinions with great passion, said she has toned down the political rhetoric on Twitter for the duration of "Ann" on Broadway.
"I don't want to paint 'Ann' with my emotions. I'm not like her at all. … She was a smart woman and I'm an opinionated loudmouth," Taylor said in a recent phone interview from New York.
The actress said she tweets mostly for the pleasure of other people's virtual company. "I really love it. … I spend most of my time responding directly to other people on Twitter. I've met people that way and I've even brought some of them backstage," she said.
Laura Osnes, nominated for the title role in the revival of "Rodgers & Hammerstein's Cinderella," said she began tweeting a year ago after being encouraged by actor Jeremy Jordan, who recently appeared in the musical "Newsies" and NBC's "Smash."
"People would say it's a good thing to do during Tony season, to expand your fan base. I was hesitant to join. I have a private life and I do value that," Osnes said in a separate interview.
The actress said she mostly limits herself to tweets about "Cinderella," including backstage photos and images from pre-Tony events.
"I recently pulled back on responding [to other people on Twitter] because it makes them feel like they know you," the actress said. "You want to be able to support the people who support you, but it's a fine line. So many people have come to take social media as their meaning in life. Sometimes my encouraging that wasn't the best thing for anybody."
