SANNE has invited Bedell Cristin to jointly host a technical panel discussion on the key benefits of the recently approved Jersey International Savings Plans.
The event, to be held at the Law Society in Chancery Lane, will include a presentation from Nancy Chien, chairman of the Jersey Pensions Association and partner at leading Channel Island Law firm, Bedell Cristin. Nancy will speak about the new offering which will enable multi-national companies, as well as family offices, to set up flexible savings plans for their employees. The new law for ISPs in Jersey came into force on 1 January 2019 and they have already attracted a great deal of attention from employers around the world.
Also attending the technical discussion from SANNE are Vicki Aston, Director, Corporate Services and Associate Directors Gavin Snarey and Kim Luce. Their global experience will make this an informative and dynamic discussion and they are delighted to be working with Bedell Cristin on this knowledge-sharing event.
The invitation only roundtable will be held on Wednesday 27 March 2019 at The Law Society, London. | 2019-04-23T01:06:14 | https://www.bailiwickexpress.com/jsy/connect/media-releases/sanne-hosts-technical-roundtable-bedell-cristin-jersey-international-savings-plans/ |
Greenwich councillors got their first look tonight of what a possible Docklands Light Railway extension to Thamesmead could look like when transport representatives made their annual appearance before a scrutiny committee.
The mayor’s transport agency is currently investigating different routes across the Thames between Beckton and Thamesmead. An extension to Thamesmead has been demanded since the DLR opened over 30 years ago, with better connections seen as vital to revitalising the isolated new town.
A London Overground extension is also a possibility, while work on reviving the Greenwich Waterfront Transit bus route – scrapped by Boris Johnson in 2008 – is also under way.
Outlining plans for better transport connections around Thamesmead, TfL community partnerships lead Gary Nolan said: “It’s sometimes called DLR to Thamesmead, but we don’t want to pre-empt it.” The plans are being assessed as part of a new City Hall planning framework for the area.
He showed councillors a map outlining two routes for a DLR connection across the Thames – one running north of its Beckton depot with a station at Armada Riverside, where 4,500 new homes are planned, the other to the south.
The southern route has an additional station at Thamesmead West, while both routes reach a station at Thamesmead Central – in the town centre – and then a stop at Thamesmead Moorings. A southern option runs towards Abbey Wood station, while an eastern route runs to Yarnton Way and onto Belvedere.
The presentation was given the night before housing association Peabody announced it had signed a deal with developer Lendlease for an £8 billion, 11,500 home development at Thamesmead Waterfront, centred around a DLR station, suggesting the northern option is the preferred one.
Intriguingly, on the north side of the Thames, the DLR is also shown running north beyond Beckton. Documents submitted as part of the Silvertown Tunnel planning inquiry in 2016 suggested that a DLR link to Thamesmead could come from as far north as Ilford or Barking, and even run onto Bexleyheath.
Possibilities are also shown for a London Overground extension. The current Gospel Oak to Barking route is being extended to Barking Riverside, and there has been pressure on TfL to continue the link south of the river. This map shows a route to another Thamesmead Central station – roughly close to Gallions Reach Health Centre – with possibilities of routes back to Plumstead, to Abbey Wood, or onto Belvedere.
The Plumstead route is notable as it would – in theory – allow TfL to run trains to and from Clapham Junction, through Charlton, Lewisham and Denmark Hill, completing another loop around inner London. But local political backing so far seems to be for a route to Erith or Abbey Wood.
The Waterfront Transit route would run from Woolwich, Plumstead Road and Plumstead station via Western Way, Central Way, Thamesmead town centre, Carlyle Road and Harrow Manor Way with routes to Abbey Wood and onto Belvedere. One possibility was that it could run to Slade Green, Nolan said.
“We need to show we’ve considered a range of options,” Nolan told councillors about the whole package of possibilities.
However, councillors asked few questions about these developments, with none asking Nolan to talk them through the map. Charlton Labour councillor Linda Perks asked about the possibility of a road crossing, saying “it was important to keep options open”. Nolan told her mayor Sadiq Khan was aiming for a “balanced approach” on crossings.
Eltham North Conservative councillor Charlie Davis asked about the Waterfront Transit revival, with Nolan saying the current focus was on linking Woolwich and Abbey Wood.
Nolan also told councillors that building a Bakerloo Line extension to Catford all in one go was “still an option”, after recent plans had indicated only a first phase – to Lewisham – would be built.
“We talked about a phase one and a phase two… [but] it’s still on our range of possibilities,” he said.
He also talked about plans to replace the DLR’s entire fleet of trains from 2023/2024, with the new trains featuring on-board real time information and mobile charging points.
Last night’s scrutiny session saw representatives from TfL, Southeastern and Network Rail give presentations to Greenwich councillors and take questions from them.

The Closing the Gap Clearinghouse was established by the Council of Australian Governments (COAG) to bring together evidence-based research on overcoming disadvantage for Indigenous Australians. The Clearinghouse provides access to a collection of information on what works to improve Indigenous people's lives across the building blocks of early childhood and schooling, economic participation, health and safe communities. The Clearinghouse not only collects, but also systematically analyses and synthesises this evidence. This paper provides policy makers with key findings about what works and assesses the gaps in the evidence. It also sets out progress of the Clearinghouse towards its objectives in its first year of operation. | 2019-04-22T02:21:12 | https://pp.aihw.gov.au/reports/indigenous-australians/what-works-to-overcome-indigenous-disadvantage-200/contents/table-of-contents |
Albury Court Hotel – Great Place!
We were in Key West for our 5th Anniversary. We had not made plans and we’re just going day by day. We found this place on our second day and stayed two nights. The room was very nice and clean. Hubby loved the breakfast spread. It was close enough to all the spots. We were on our Harley so parking was easy.
Can’t wait till our next trip! | 2019-04-26T02:11:45 | https://www.historickeywestinns.com/reviews/albury-court-hotel-inn-key-west-near-duval-street-old-town-location-hemingway-house-mallory-harbor-beach-vacation-anniversary-wedding-honeymoon-celebration-bachelor-party-comfortable-affordable-ro-141/ |

* I discovered Emerald Balance about a year ago and have been hooked on it ever since. I drink it simply mixed with water, and though the taste took a little getting used to (it just tastes very 'green') I enjoy it now. If I miss having a glass for a few days in a row, I can really notice the drop in energy. I feel better taking it, my digestive system is happier and the gentle energy boost is perfect for me.
* This is a great product. After taking it for a couple weeks I have really noticed a difference in energy and health. You can add a little estivia if the taste is too bitter. I think the taste is like a green tea.
* I'd been looking for a good green supplement to add to my morning drink - this is absolutely the best. The green tea taste is fabulous - mixes beautifully - very smooth. It's the best green supplement I've tasted.
* I used to blend this in with my protein shakes to "regulate your pH levels when on a high protein diet" but couldn't stand the taste. My chick found the half empty container and mixed a scoop with her soy milk and ice; Now I'm ordering it every other week for her, she loves it. Good anti-oxidant, but strange minty taste. They make a chocolate flavor also. | 2019-04-18T18:19:19 | https://www4.netrition.com/cgi/customer_review.cgi?group_key=3262&see_limited_group_reviews=true |
Since I am continuing to think about the school massacre it brings back to mind my thoughts about more extensive mental health screenings and help in the schools. As a society we seem to be headed down a path of increasing mental illness. People are angry and have no idea what to do with that anger. Taking a weapon and using it on innocent people has become the way to express that anger and frustration.
The mediation center that I will be volunteering for also has a program that teaches conflict resolution in the schools. This will not solve the whole problem but is a step in the right direction.
History tells us that there was brutality in the past and discrimination and violence. I hoped that we were growing and learning but it seems I was wrong. Unkindness is growing and having compassion is not the norm. There may have been some bullying when I was in grade school and high school but I don’t ever remember it becoming a major issue. (of course that was over 60 years ago) I wish I knew what could be done to help but I don’t have any more answers than anyone else. | 2019-04-24T18:04:19 | https://worrylessjourney.com/2018/02/17/we-seem-to-have-learned-nothing/ |

Grace Hopper is a hero and an inspiration to Naval Officers and Information Technology professionals globally. Born in 1906, Hopper graduated with a Ph.D. in Mathematics from Yale in 1934. In 1940, she attempted to enlist to join the WWII effort but was rejected by the military because she was considered by the Navy too old. She elected instead to join the US Navy Reserve. Upon completion of training, where she was top of her class, Hopper was assigned to the Bureau of Ships and Computation Project at Harvard University.
Hopper spent a large portion of her career working at Harvard on various Navy contracts. She first worked on the Mark I computer, and later joined the Eckert Mauchly Corporation where she developed the compiler. A compiler converts code language based on words into computer code, and served as a foundation for modern computer programming. In 1959, Hopper participated in the CODASYL consortium that developed COBOL, the first computing language that used English words. Hopper retired in 1971, but was recalled to Active Duty. Hopper finally retired as a Rear-Admiral in 1986.
In 1981, Hopper was profiled in the San Diego Union. In the profile, she said “A motto that has stuck with me is: ‘A ship in port is safe. But that’s not what ships were built for.’’” The original iteration of this quote is attributed to author John A. Shedd who in 1928 released a collection of saying in his collection “Salt from My Attack.” While Shedd might have been the original, Hopper’s incredible career and leadership led our decision to feature her on our Heritage Collection Mug.
Hopper is also attributed to terms ‘bug’ and ‘debugging’. When working on the Mark II Computer, Hopper and her teammates found a moth in the computer that was hampering its operation; by removing the moth, Hopper declared she was ‘debugging’ the machine. | 2019-04-25T08:38:34 | https://anchorcoffeeroasters.com/blogs/news/safe-harbor-the-story-of-grace-hopper |

Be mindful about shutting lights off when you leave a room. If you have a forgetful family member or roommate, paste reminders on the switchplates or consider installing motion-detector switches.
ADVANCED: Replace your bulbs with CFLs or LEDs.
Install Energy Star ceiling fans in the rooms you use most often. They’ll help keep you cool in the summer while your AC works less or not at all. In the winter, switch them to turn clockwise to circulate the warm air rising up to the ceiling back down into the room.
ADVANCED: Go with a white roof or install a green roof, which will prevent heat loss through the roof in winter and cool your home down in the summer.
The refrigerator is one of the biggest energy-users in your home, and if it was built before 1993, it’s a huge energy hog. Clean the coils on your fridge every six months to keep it running efficiently, and take up unused space with jugs of water, which will hold in the cold better. Eliminate a second refrigerator, if you have one.
Washing clothes in cold water gets them just as clean as hot, and cuts your washer’s energy use in half. Drying your clothes on an outdoor line or indoor rack can save around $100 in energy costs every year.
ADVANCED: Water and energy use are intertwined: producing energy uses water, and providing clean drinking water requires energy. Take steps to conserve water everywhere in your home.
Appliances use 20 percent of the energy in the average US home. When it’s time to buy new appliances, look for the most efficient Energy Star model you can find. The biggest energy hogs in a home are usually the refrigerator (particularly if it was built before 1993) and clothes dryer.
Adding an insulating cover to your water heater can reduce heat loss by 24-45 percent. Also, turn your water heater down by ten degrees, if possible. If half of US households did so, it would prevent 239 tons of greenhouse gas emissions.
ADVANCED: Upgrade to a tankless or solar water heater, and save 14% off your energy bill. And while you’re in your garage, consider buying a super-efficient car or, better yet, a bike.
Replacing windows is often the least cost-effective step you can take to save energy, so seal air leaks around doors and windows instead with caulk and weatherstripping. Also, consider putting up insulating curtains, pasting low-e film to the window glass, and installing storm windows or plastic window films to further cut down on heat loss in winter.
ADVANCED: Get a RESNET or Home Performance with Energy Star audit to help pinpoint your biggest energy losses.
Nearly half of US homes already have a programmable thermostat. Dig out that owner’s manual and learn how to use yours to maximize the efficiency of your heating and cooling systems. Program your thermostat to turn itself down or off when you’re sleeping or are at work or school.
ADVANCED: Set a winter target of 68°F when you’re at home and 55°F when you’re away. Set a summer target of 78°F when you’re at home and 82°F when you’re away.
Using your dishwasher instead of washing dishes by hand can save water, but if you let the drying cycle run, you’re wasting energy and money. Skip the drying cycle and let your dishes air dry. Newer, more effective and efficient dishwashers allow you to skip the step of pre-rinsing your dishes before you load them in the dishwasher.
ADVANCED: Run your dishwasher (and your clothes washer, for that matter) at night, during off-peak hours. It’s our country’s peak demand that determines the expansion of dirty coal-fired power plants.
Save 5%: Eliminate "Phantom Load"
ADVANCED: Use a Kill-A-Watt meter to measure the energy use of appliances and gadgets, even when they’re turned off. You can also keep track of your home’s entire energy use with a whole-house energy monitor.
FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL INCENTIVES: Search energy.gov/savings to find tax incentives and rebates for your renewable and energy efficiency home improvements.
HOME STAR: Proposed legislation would create a “Home Star” program, providing rebate incentives to the American public to encourage Home Performance with Energy Star audits, energy-efficient retrofits, and the purchase of efficient appliances. At press time, Home Star legislation was included in the July 2010 Clean Energy Jobs and Oil Company Accountability Act. | 2019-04-26T07:40:18 | https://www.greenamerica.org/green-living/10-easiest-ways-cut-your-energy-use-half |

This collection was named by Henry Holland as 'Pastel Punks' which I feel sums up the collection very well. He has used the skinhead uniform of a buttoned up shirt with high waisted bleached jeans and suspenders. But the aesthetic it creates is actually very cute due to the colour palette and details such as the bleached jeans looking like clouds.
It also highlights on the safari trend with the oversized leopard print and python skin, which i think worked great in the pastel leopard dresses.
I think this collection is very fun as always and very london in its style. | 2019-04-22T20:57:00 | http://illustratingstyle.blogspot.com/2011/09/house-of-holland-ss-2012-london.html |

Fan favorites collide at this Saturday’s ‘UFC on ESPN+ 1’ event when “12 Gauge” Paige VanZant returns to take on TUF 26 standout, Rachael Ostovich.
VanZant vs Ostovich at this Saturday’s UFC on ESPN+ 1 event.
VanZant (7-4) returns after almost one year away from competition after suffering a broken arm during a bout against Jessica-Rose Clark at UFC Fight Night 124. The 24-year-old is keen to show the world what she is capable of at 125-pounds after a 4-2 run at 115-pounds in which she picked up impressive wins over Felice Herrig, Bec Rawlings, Alex Chambers and Kailin Curran, but losing by way of submissions to Rose Namajunas and Michelle Waterson.
Ostovich (4-4) is 1-1 since making her UFC debut, picking up a first-round submission win over Karine Gevorgyan, but losing by way of a submission to Montana De La Rosa. The 27-year-old, who was coached by Justin Gaethje on The Ultimate Fighter 26, made headlines late last year after finding herself victim of and publicly speaking about her domestic abuse.
UFC on ESPN+ 1 takes place this Saturday January 19 from the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, United States. The main card featuring VanZant vs. Ostovivch will be aired live on ESPN+ from 10pm EST.
All these darn pay services that one has to subscribe to just to watch the fights is driving me nuts. At least ESPN+ is one of the more affordable ones but I feel like they’re nickle and diming us to death.
You got it right this time, buddy ! | 2019-04-18T19:04:52 | http://wmmarankings.com/paige-vanzant-vs-rachael-ostovich-flyweight-bout-this-saturday-ufc-on-espn-1-main-card-10pm-et-live-on-espn/ |
First Line: The farm-to-market road was vacant, the day's traffic settled and tucked away as the big red sun dropped below the horizon.
Sonny Burton now has only one arm, thanks to Bonnie Parker. Losing the shoot-out with the infamous Bonnie and Clyde in such a way meant his retirement from the Texas Rangers, and he's finding it hard to acclimate to his new life.
Then Aldo Hernandez, a hospital janitor, asks for Sonny's help. Aldo's young daughter has gotten mixed up with two brothers who are involved in a series of robberies. He knows that type of life means death, and he wants his girl back before that happens. Sonny agrees to help, but he finds his attention divided. You see, someone in the area has started killing young women and leaving their bodies out in the fields for the crows to feast upon.
Having really enjoyed Larry Sweazy's Marjorie Trumaine mysteries set in 1960s North Dakota, I didn't hesitate to pick up A Thousand Falling Crows. It's one of the best decisions I've made so far this year. Sweazy's lean, poetic writing style is so evocative of the Depression and the Dust Bowl that I felt as though I were following along with Sonny every step of the way.
Sonny Burton is a sort of Everyman, struggling with all the changes in his life, with loneliness, and with his lack of relationships. He's a man without a safety net, and just as we see him reaching the end of the long, dark slide that leads to eating his gun, two things happen: Aldo Hernandez reaches out for help, and so does Blue, a mangy stray hound with a broken leg.
Sweazy has written the compelling story of a lonely man who finds a reason to get busy living. As he tracks down Aldo's daughter, Carmen, we see her life from her point of view. As he is forced to live with Blue, we see him coming out of his shell of loneliness. The excellent mystery the author has crafted almost comes as an afterthought in my mind because of the strength of the book's characters and setting.
And above it all is a Greek chorus of crows, letting us see it all from their vantage point. If you haven't sampled Larry D. Sweazy's writing, I hope you change that as soon as you possibly can. I did, and now I want to read everything he's ever written.
I really like the time period and setting for this one, Cathy! And what an interesting perspective for the story, too. It sounds as though Sweazy has done an effective job of showing the lifestyles of the times, too. little wonder you enjoyed it.
I ate it up with a spoon, Margot!
OK, I just went and purchased this book. This book speaks to too many aspects of my life. My parents grew up in the Texas Panhandle and so would have been there during this time period as children. My father worked with the Rangers, but wasn't one himself. And my grandparents and parents spoke so vividly about the Dust Bowl time. Yep, I need to read this.
I wondered if it would strike a chord with you, Kay. I hope you enjoy it.
I just picked up A Thousand Falling Crows at the library yesterday. Currently I am reading See Also Deception and enjoying it very much. I was very taken with the character of Margorie Trumaine in the first book See Also Murder. Thanks for introducing me to this wonderful author through your reviews.
You're welcome, Lynn. I hope you enjoy reading about Sonny Burton just as much.
So this is set in Texas during the Great Depression? Kind of like Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath era.
I love Marjorie Tremaine so I may like this book. It's going on the TBR gigantic list.
I think you'll enjoy it, Kathy. | 2019-04-25T02:31:23 | https://www.kittlingbooks.com/2017/02/a-thousand-falling-crows-by-larry-d.html |

As one who has helped create and launch multiple new association initiatives (some of which failed miserably), I can only say amen to this piece of advice from Harrison and Mary!
Boy, was I wrong! By trying to launch them all at one time, we stretched out staffing and promotion too thin. Within a year, all five services died from a lack of subscriptions.
Later, when I was starting my association management company, a company asked me to do some project work that involved research and writing product literature.
To get some advice on pricing the project, I called a friend of mine who was president of an advertising agency.
He told me to divide the projects into individual components and estimate the time it would take to complete each component.
You may want to share this advice with staff and/or board the next time they suggest launching a new project that won’t take that much time or effort! | 2019-04-22T13:57:06 | http://www.scdgroup.net/2013/08/new-association-initiatives-take-more.html |

This is the second of two parts on the history of evolutionary theory. Last week, I discussed the gene-eyed view of evolution that came to dominate evolutionary theory of the 20th century. In the 1960s, this view hardened into a dogma, and provoked a reaction, in recognition of the many cooperative networks in nature that are difficult to explain in terms of “kin selection,” the only recourse of the Selfish Gene. In Part Two, below, I continue with the science of multilevel selection (MLS), and talk about why aging is a tough nut to crack. Clearly the selfish gene paradigm is inadequate to explain aging. MLS provides a formal test for deciding whether a given trait can evolve via group selection, and according to these criteria, aging should not be able to evolve.
What is missing from both systems is ecology. When species’ interpendence is taken into account, it becomes possible to understand aging and many other cases where individuals sacrifice their own fitness to the community.
We left off last week with kin selection, which is the only source of cooperative behavior that is recognized from the selfish gene perspective. The science of kin selection was formalized by W. D. Hamilton in 1964 (part 1, part 2).
Just a few years after Hamilton, another young Brit named George Price expanded Hamilton’s rule, using math developed by Fisher himself. Price’s contribution was to realize that a gene might be shared not just by brothers and cousins, but many distant relatives, and perhaps some unrelated individuals as well. He read about the controversy surrounding group selection, and he proposed to resolve the question with statistical analysis. The result was the Price Equation.
Following Fisher’s idea, Price imagined a large population of a single species that remained constant from one generation to the next. What Price added was to divide the population into cooperative groups. An altruistic gene, in Price’s model, would give the individual in which it appeared a disadvantage compared to others in that group that might not carry the altruistic gene. But the group as a whole would thrive in competition with other groups, based on the number of copies of the altruistic gene that appeared in group members. In other words, a cooperative gene is conceived as increasing the fitness of a group in proportion to how many members of the group have that gene. This benefits the group in competition with other groups. However, within each group, some individuals have the gene and others do not. The individuals who carry the cooperative gene are at a disadvantage relative to selfish individuals within the same group that do not carry the gene.
The Price Equation applies analysis strictly by Fisher’s rules to to this situation, and it measures the balance between individual selection and group selection that can determine the fate of an altruistic gene.
Fig 1a. This is the model of Fisher. Genes increase or decrease in frequency over time within a population of fixed total size.
Fig 1b. This is the model of Price. Two things are going on simultaneously. Genes increase or decrease in frequency within each population based on their individual effects. Meanwhile, some groups are growing at the expense of other groups, based on the aggregate group effects of these same genes.
The form of the Price Equation may be something that only a statistician can love. But the conclusions are actually quite sensible and intuitive. In the competition between selfishness and altruism, how do we know which will come out on top?
The story of Price’s life is wonderfully colorful and tragically fated. Price did not live to see his ideas spawn a cooperative cult within evolutionary biology, expanding to become a formidable and respected minority in the 21st Century. It was David Sloan Wilson, a graduate student at Harvard and later a professor at Binghamton, who picked up the Price Equation and built his career promoting and popularizing the idea of group selection, citing hundreds of examples of cooperation in nature that are not well-explained by Hamilton’s Rule, and establishing the plausibility of Price’s model in explaining these. Wilson promotes the science of multi-level selection (MLS) based on a dynamic balance between evolution operating simultaneously at the level of the individual, and larger communities, groups and ecosystems.
This would seem to be an inclusive position. Why should it inspire such controversy? Wilson has been extra-cautious in establishing the scientific basis for multi-level selection. Nevertheless, he has become a lightning rod for charges that group selection is a fallacious idea, and that the science of MLS somehow lacks legitimacy. Richard Dawkins, in particular, has become a vituperative antagonist of Wilson’s work.
Aging shows many characteristics that indicate an evolved adaptation – most notably that the genetic basis for aging is hundreds of millions of years old, and seems to have been conserved from microbes to man. But aging offers no selective advantage to the individual. In fact, getting old, losing your fertility and dying can only decrease your individual fitness. So evolution of aging is a prime candidate for explanation in terms of MLS. Maybe aging evolved because of its benefit to the community.
So it is natural to apply Price’s criteria. Do we expect group selection or individual selection to predominate in the case of aging?
The cost to the individual is high. (This was the surprising conclusion of a survey of mammals and birds by Daniel Promislow in 1991, and confirmed later by Ricklefsand Bonduriansky with very different methodology.) Though few animals in the wild drop dead of old age, there are many that begin to lose their competitive edge with age, and they succumb to predators or parasites from which young animals escape. In other words, individual selection against aging is expected to be very strong. Strike one.
The benefit to the group is hard to measure in the short run. It comes from maintaining population diversity, and enhancing opportunities for reproduction, so that in the long run the population can evolve faster. But before we even get to the “long run”, aging has a significant barrier to overcome in the short run, and in the short run, the genetic basis for aging ought to be disappearing more and more from each successive generation. Strike two.
The group that benefits from aging is not well-confined to others that carry the genes for aging. Far from it. The only benefit from aging and programmed death is to open a space in the niche, and there is no guarantee that the individual who grows to fill that space will even be of the same species, let alone that it should carry the same gene for aging. In the SG perspective and the MLS perspective alike, an altruistic trait can evolve only to the extent that the benefits of that trait accrue to others who carry that trait, and this is not the case with aging. Strike three.
And so, as an explanation for the evolution of aging MLS strikes out.
The critical omission in the analyses of all three scientists, Fisher, Hamilton and Price, is the volatility of population size, based on interactions among different species. Population dynamics is the key to understanding why nature provides so many stunning examples of cooperation, and how the “cheater problem” has been avoided. This was the insight of Michael Gilpin, a mathematical physicist who turned his attention to the problem of group selection in the mid-1970s. At a time when computer models were already in common use among physicists but not yet among biologists, Gilpin brilliantly exploited the crude computational resources of the day to build a more sophisticated and general model than Fisher or Hamilton or Price. His 1975 monograph, called Group Selection in Predator- Prey Communities, challenged fundamental assumptions of evolutionary theory, and created a model that is far more consonant with biological reality. Gilpin’s work remains poorly understood and its significance unappreciated to this day.
The essence of Gilpin’s message was that the best strategy for individual success is to eat more and transform the biomass of your food into your own offspring, which take over the population. This strategy leads at the individual level to success, and at the group level it leads to rapid population growth. The catch is that “food” is also biological. Whatever your species is eating will suffer a decline as you try to eat more and more, and simultaneously your numbers are growing and growing. As your species prospers, your food species goes into decline.
Here’s the punch line: Exponential mathematics makes this process rapid and dramatic. One generation there’s plenty of food, the next generation there is no food at all. The process of ecosystem collapse is very rapid. It is a powerful Darwinian force, a fitting counter-balance to the raw strength of selection for selfishness.
If you evolve to maximize your individual fitness, your children will starve. This insight changes the landscape of evolutionary biology, and remains unappreciated to this day.
And what of the argument that ecosystems are stable and slow to change? By all appearances they provide a constant biological background in which species may evolve slowly, one at a time.
The answer is that ecosystems are only stable because they are evolved to be stable. If every individual were behaving selfishly, as Fisher postulated, then stable ecosystems would be an impossibility. The stable ecosystems that we see only exist because, long ago, individual selection has been balanced by group selection at the level of the entire ecosystem, severely constraining individual selfishness.
Virtually all of evolutionary theory is rooted in a paradigm where you can separate what happens in a single generation, and then think of multi-generation evolution as if it were an iteration of this single-generation process, over and over again. Another part of the paradigm is that you can think about one trait evolving in one species apart from its effect on other traits and other species. Not that anyone believes these things are literally true, but it is widely assumed that they are a rough-and-ready first approximation, a good start for a theory that can afford to refine itself later on, at a different level of detail. This turns out not to be true. Ecological interactions must be included from the get-go, or we get a very distorted picture of how evolution works.
Aging contributes to taming population dynamics, to slowing the exponential growth, and to softening the inevitable population crashes that follow. This is not a slow, long-term benefit (like population diversity), but an immediate and powerful force, providing protection against a danger that would otherwise wipe out a species in just a few generations’ time. It is a powerful and tangible group-level benefit that simply is not captured in the world-view of the Price Equation.
Beyond aging, there are many other coooperative traits for which you might wonder, how could they have evolved “uphill” in the face of strong individual selection against them? The answer is that the whole system of evolution has evolved to avoid rewarding individuals that exploit resources unsustainably. This is part of the story of evolution of evolvability.
The way that evolution works is not what we naively imagined in the early 20th Century, but the dynamic of evolution itself has evolved to be far more sophisticated and subtle.
This is a “just-so” story–a search for adaptation where common sense suggests the “trait” in question is a byproduct. Aging is the result of a vast aggregation of biological processes that amount to simple “wearing out” of a body. Why must there be a “reason”? See SJ Gould and Niles Eldredge’s classic article, “The spandrels of San Marco”.
Your theory only makes a significant difference in curbing the population if the number of children is low for the species in question. If the number of children is high, then the parent generation is small relative to the overall population, in which case aging-related death would hardly slow growth. Now … most species have many offspring, so your theory seems unlikely. No? | 2019-04-23T10:35:52 | http://hplusmagazine.com/2013/11/27/the-selfish-gene-cant-explain-aging-but-neither-can-multi-level-selection-part-2/ |

Today this couple has made a vow, cut a covenant, created a new family and brought their lives together to become one. As time passes many things happen that can stress the commitment and cause this beautiful memorable day and the passion you felt to fade a bit. So I have asked you two to find a chest or box capable of being locked. It had to be able to hold a bottle of wine and some goblets. As well as a copy of the vows you made today and a hand written note expressing your promise to love and support each other. Any other pictures or sentimental items can be included.
Whenever your marriage has come to need refreshing I ask that before you make any irrational decisions that you both, as a couple, open the chest, drink the wine together, and then venture off into separate rooms to read and reflect upon the vows that you wrote to one another on your wedding day. As you read the vows, please reflect upon the reasons you fell in love with each other. We pray that your love will endure all obstacles placed in your path and that there will never be a reason for you open this chest except to celebrate your 50th wedding anniversary! | 2019-04-22T16:34:58 | http://4vows.com/vows-contract/the-infinity-chest-wedding-ceremony/ |
A Muslim cleric has been awarded a medal from the Russian Orthodox Church for the first time in its history. Mufti Talgat Tadzhuddin was recognised for his work in strengthening ties between the two faiths.
The Daniil Moskovsky medal is awarded to people who have helped revive religious life among Russians.
Tadzhuddin, who has been described as “the first Muslim of Russia”, heads the official association of Russian Muslims.
Being the supreme Mufti of Russia, he is known to have a close relationship with the Russian Orthodox Church. He played an active role in the Chechnya conflict settlement.
Being a pacifist, the Mufti has tried to distance Islam from extremist and radical ideologies which are often associated with terrorism. | 2019-04-19T20:29:42 | https://www.rt.com/news/orthodox-church-award-for-muslim-cleric/ |

With a current market cap of $105 million, Otto has room for significant upside upon exploration success.
Otto Energy (ASX:OEL) recently started work on build-out facilities to bring its Lightning Well into production in the Gulf Coast program in Matagorda County, Texas.
With the Lightning discovery well having been perforated and a flow test undertaken, results show that the well will flow strongly with a condensate yield substantially exceeding Otto’s pre-drill estimates.
Otto Energy (OEL) will shortly commence production from its second successful discovery in the US Gulf of Mexico – Lightning, onshore Texas.
We estimate this will approximately double production and reduce risk through diversification of production.
In addition, OEL has an exciting low-risk exploration program underway with reputable JV partner Hilcorp with a further five wells to be drilled this year.
Finally, another high impact target could be drilled next year in Alaska.
The share price has pulled back due to the high impact Winx exploration well in Alaska proving to be uncommercial, and the smaller target Don Julio 2 well in Texas also unsuccessful.
However, data from the production test at the Lightning Texas discovery was significantly better than expected.
We model a potential 100 Bcf gas reserve and 4 million barrels of oil condensate (20.7 million barrels of oil equivalent; 5.9 mmboe for OEL’s 28.5% NRI share).
We have removed Winx & the Alaskan western blocks from our valuation (-2.7 cents per share).
We have now incorporated Lightning in our forecasts for the first time (valuation 1.6 cents, previously 0.8 cents, both 60% risked).
Our Sum of the Parts valuation is reduced from A$195 million (7.7 cents per share) to A$149 million (5.8 cps).
However, with an active exploration program and re-rating potential as increased production and cash flow de-risk the company, we apply a 20% premium to our valuation.
Our price target is $0.07 (previously $0.09 per share). We reiterate our “Speculative Buy” recommendation.
• Reserves statement and first production from Lightning – next quarter (upside to our 60% risked valuation).
• Drill results on five further wells with Hilcorp in the Gulf of Mexico, mostly lower risk, higher probability targets of 3-8m barrels (100% basis). OEL share 37.5%. Success rate so far is 33% (1 out of 3).
• Further exploration in the Alaska North Slope Central blocks eg Talitha (900mmbbls oil in place).
• Possible new JVs (low risk, quick to production).
Otto Energy Ltd (ASX:OEL) is a focused on conventional oil plays in proven petroleum provinces. | 2019-04-18T10:17:23 | https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/217060/otto-energy-retains-speculative-buy-recommendation-from-phillipcapital-217060.html |

After his "Game of Thrones" cameo was widely panned by critics and viewers, it appeared the singer briefly deleted his Twitter account.
It looks like Ed Sheeran's stepping back from Twitter after his cameo on "Game of Thrones."
His unnamed role in the series premiere Sunday mainly had him singing and handing food over to Arya Stark.
Critics largely panned his role, calling it "a dud" and "far too distracting to be really worthwhile."
Many on Twitter agreed, though in less kind terms.
And for a while on Monday night it looked like Sheeran deleted his Twitter account. By Tuesday morning, it was reactivated but the account had minimal followers and it was missing the past few years of tweets.
Earlier this month, Sheeran said he was going to stop reading comments on Twitter, saying the site was only full of people saying mean things. | 2019-04-21T16:38:58 | https://www.newsy.com/stories/mean-tweets-might-have-caused-ed-sheeran-to-delete-twitter/ |

She is cute, gorgeous and mesmerizes everyone with her grace and charm, yet she is very humble and down to earth. A tête-à-tête with this wonderful young lady during her re looking photo shoot to discuss her views about life and its unexpected twists and turns.
How did you become an actress? Tell us how it all began.
I’m very provincial I come from a simple family, simple means that my parents are very down to earth. For me, being an actress was not so much a dream but science fiction.
When I was 7, I saw a theatre play on TV and totally fell in love with this new world. I really wanted to play like the people I saw. I asked my father who was a Classical Literature teacher to give me the book of Le Malade Imaginaire from Molière and i decided to do a play with my schoolmates. The result was a terrible improvisation but by then i was completely hooked on Theatre.
I went to Theatre class and did Modern Literature too because my parents were uncertain about my future. In Khâgnes (it’s a specific class very difficult in France), a teacher said to me that my place was not there but on a stage.
So heart in my hand I went off to Paris; where I had my first casting for a web series, and I was fortunate to get the part. I meet many interesting people on the set, and as luck would have it I got parts in short and feature films. Then I found myself a good agent.
Tell us something about your character in the film?
She’s a teenager who wants to commit suicide. She’s really deep, full of anger and lacks confidence. It was really hard to feel, act like Sarah because she’s really close to how I was as a teenager. I had mixed emotions playing this role, It was both terrifying and exciting at the same time, as old memories came flooding back.
If you could have any part from any movie/TV series, who would you want to be?
Why did you get into charity work?
It was obvious, I like helping people and try to do my best to make people happy. I’m really sure that happiness and joy are the most important things in life. Even if there are problems, even if everything is bad, I try to feel happy, I try to find joy in little moments and things.
It depends, that’s why I like to be an actress, as every day is totally different.
The days, I’m on a shoot I wake up very early in the morning, It usually goes on till the end of the day, then I go back home to rest or I go to an event or a screening.
When I’m not at a shoot, I have appointments and castings.
I also like to write, to learn many different things like new acting techniques or many things that have no links to my job. I’m very curious, so I can stay hours on the Internet or by reading books to find an answer about my existentialism questions. Sometimes I find the answer, sometimes not, but being curious is very enriching for my wild mind.
Many things, I laugh all the time! It’s often about little things in the subway, the street, there is a lot of cute and funny moments in life. I like comedy with Louis de Funès, Pierre Richard, I adore Saturday Night Live and Woody Allen comedy.
Can you tell us about one of the happiest moments in your life?
I was on the set of Le Quepa sur La Vilni directed by Yann Le Quellec, which I shot with the famous French singer Christophe he performed a concert for us on the little village square, it was poetic, magic and moving. Even the donkey of the movie was touched.
What daily ritual that you perform makes you feel the safest, and why?
Do you go to fashion shows?
Yes I love fashion, and I adore fashion shows because it’s like a little play with no words, I like clothes that tell a story.
How do you feel about today’s photo shoot with Fashion world?
It is fantastic, I feel happy and beautiful in the amazing dresses, I like the very good energy of the team!
I love the stunning different looks created by the makeup and hair stylists.
My feet, classical dance and high heels are not the best thing for my poor little feet!
My education I think and maybe because I come from Alsace, people are really linked to the earth. But I also have “la tête dans les étoiles”!

Tutorial – Add Favicon to Blogger – It Works For Bobbi!
Published on March 15, 2011 by Bobbi-Jo G.
What? A new tutorial? Do you still do those? Yes. Yes I do. I’ve been amazed by how busy I’ve been, but I’m SO excited to share what I’ve just learned with all of you! How to create and insert your OWN favicon into your blog or website!
Do you see my little icon there? THAT is what I have wanted to know how to do for SO LONG, and I had no clue just how easy it would be. Now I’m going to walk YOU through how to do this yourself! It will really make your blog or website your OWN and help it to stand out that much more. Okay, let’s get started!
1. Create your own icon. This can be any image in any square size. Remember, because it is going to be shrunk down quite small (16px by 16px) you will want to keep the design simple. You can design your icon in Photoshop, or use a photo or image that you already have! I created a new document, named it “Favicon” and sized it to 1″X1″ at 300 dpi to make designing it easier.
If you don’t have Photoshop, you can google “Favicon Generator” to find a free website that will resize your image to the right size for you. Handy dandy!
3. Now you will need to upload your image to some place like photobucket, flickr, picasa…wherever. You’ll need to get a URL for your favicon. I upload mine to photobucket.
Where it says “URL OF YOUR PICTURE” , you should input the direct URL of your favicon that you copied from Photobucket or wherever! That’s it! You should now see your little icon appear next to your URL and on your tabs, etc. It’s so fun to customize your blog this way. And it’s really easy!

Record number of 140 participants and 53 teans at NTNU for NCPC2009!
NTNU teams also claim the top three spot in the national competion, with the top team placing third (4th last year) in the NCPC (Nordic Collegiate Programming Contest) out of 138 student teams!
NCPC is part of the ACM International Collegiate Programming Contest .
Again, all the five Nordic countries (Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden) participated at the same time, making it a true Nordic event!
"Today was a truly amazing day. Together we arranged a competition with 192 teams competing in 12 different sites in 5 different countries in 3 different time zones. At the same time another 229 teams took part in the online version of NCPC through UVa Online Judge. In other words, more than 400 teams all over the world benefited from the excellent work we have done. THANK YOU for making NCPC 2009 a great event!
I'm especially happy that we have active sites in all Nordic countries and most major university cities. We also increased the number of teams with more than 40 teams compared to last year. Trondheim had an impressive 53 teams, that is more than half a world finals! How did you manage to order and serve 150 pizzas?
no team solved all problems (except for three teams on UVa, the fastest solving all 10 problems after 2 hours and 43 minutes...).
You are great. Let the feeling of a stunning achievement soak in and have a really nice Sunday. I hope to see many of you in Nürnberg in November otherwise I'll be in touch after NWERC about NCPC 2010. Until then, have a great time! .. "
solved were given out during the contest.
a record number of 37 teams!
Intense focus was in order.
From Solution and prize ceremony.
to the non-student Top 6 teams.
We had an exciting competition with many really good teams and it seems like all contestants were very happy. It is especially pleasing that we had some new sites, although no new ones from Norway. I hope some more Norwegian sites, like University of Tromsø and some of the Norwegian University Colleges will join us next year.

Rosana Broadway stage show is uniquely beautiful and rich in culture, with spectacular and extravagant costumes, stunningly convincing all transvestites or lady boys, stage settings, international standard light and sound system and so much more. The first and only International Cabaret Show in Cambodia, Rosana Broadway combined of music, dances, cabaret, lady boys and beautiful costume presentations become one of the greatest transvestite cabaret performances in Asia. Bright lights, glitz and glamour. Rosana Broadway certainly doesn’t come close to under-delivering if you measured its success and entertainment value by the number of sequins on show.
Rosana Broadway has dozens of dancers and performers and the choreographed show is filled with impressive sets, extravagant costumes, singing (well, lip-syncing), dancing, and general merriment. The show is partly cultural and and partly outlandish — while it is widely known that all of the cast members are or once were boys, the website gives no hint about the performers’ transgender status, and many of the TripAdvisor reviews seem to miss the point entirely. In Siem Reap, Rosana Broadway is known as the biggest ladyboy (katuoey in Khmer) show in the country. Both terms are not particularly polite, but it’s hard to describe one of the show’s main draws without using them.
The evening features traditional songs and dances from many Asian cultures, and transgender performers are the star of the show. The exception is the Cambodia Apsara dance, which is done entirely by biologically female performers at the behest of the Ministry of Culture. More impressive is the Hanuman, or monkey king, dance involving weapons and choreographed tumbling. Other acts include a Japanese love ballad and a traditional Chinese tune.
Show for you, Rosana Broadway is your show !, Enjoy our famous Cambodian Traditional Dance and International Cabaret Show which provides a unique mix of entertainment on stage. Our Stunning Performers are trained by a Professional Choreographer to bring you several varieties of dancing, with magnificent costumes to sweep you away on a magical and musical journey of song and dance.
Let’s our international show to entertain for your private party, corporate dinner, wedding party or Christmas/New Year event. With years of experience, the professional and beautiful performers can adapt the shows to suit to your parties with any space or themes. Your event will be an instant success with the amazing talents of the stars to entertain you and your guests.

Derby weekend! It's an event around here in Louisville - that's for sure.
& Mother Nature totally cooperated this year with the most perfect weather.
She actually started being kind on Friday, on our Oaks Day.
I don't go to the races but you still feel the vibe in the air. Plus, my new office is less then 2 miles from the track & I'm not even joking when I say I could smell Bourbon in the air.
Instead of Oaks, I had photos on Friday.
I got to meet up with one of the kiddos from my youth group & his sweet momma. She didn't schedule any senior pictures for him because he didn't want to do any, but she wanted just a few pictures of him for his graduation party. So I met up with them at his high school to grab a couple. I actually was only with him for 15 minutes & got 20 shots & they are some of my favorites I've done.
His mom text me at the end & said he actually enjoyed it. I told her that everyone always dreads it, but in the end, they walk away feeling like a super model. As they should.
& speaking of super models, how did Kate leave the hospital looking amazing? I bet every new mom sort of hated her in that moment.
She really is a Princess, isn't she?
Saturday also started with Ricky a little miffed at me.
So when he got to the biggest nest, he wanted me to stand there with the brick so I could get them before any escaped.
OK... let's stop here a second. Maybe my husband doesn't know me well. But I'm the girl who literally carries spiders in my hands to take them outside so they don't get hurt. I'm the person who does whatever I can to let bugs go back to their bug families & live happily ever after.
so how did he expect me to take a brick & smash worms??!?!?
After Ricky gave me a lecture about how he was saving the trees, which I applaud, we got cleaned up & headed over to his sisters for a Derby party. Now, I'd like to say I had some sort of knowledge of horses to know who was going to win, but I just got lucky pulling out a horse name of a cup... & it was the favorite. I didn't even know who the favorite was at this point.
I'm not sure if she loved me the same after my horse won! YAHHOOO!!!!!!!
I ended up winning $40 ... which I said would at least get me a week's worth of drinks at Starbucks. I'll take it.
It's always good to see family... & loved that our nephew, Michael's son, was there. He is just the cutest little guy!!! His smile melts me.
Sunday had us taking that $40 winning & heading to see The Avengers!
So another end to a busy weekend... the weather was perfect... got to see family... I was a winner... & superheroes were involved... it was a definite thumbs up weekend.
Did you see The Avengers? or any movie?
Did you have a Derby Winner?
she looked gorgeous. i was way too excited for that baby to get here. i can't wait for the name (hoping for elle, hehe).
It sounds like you had a great weekend! Love the senior picture! He's a cutie.
I didn't know she had the baby. Thanks for the update!
lol, sounds like a good weekend minus the brick/killing/bugs/ew.
I cannot stop laughing about your bag worm story! Although just imagining it makes me want to vomit. If spiders or ANY insect is in my house, it's death to them. But if they're outside, happily doing their thing, I totally avoid stepping on them.
Yay for winning money! I had a bet going with my sister (loser buys ice cream), and I chose American Pharoah too!
haha your bag worm story cracked me up! I'm the same way though... will not harm a fly!
this statement.......with Robert Downy Jr, Chris Evans & Chris Hemsworth... like it matters what the story is....SO true!!!
I don't understand how Kate looked so perfect AGAIN just after giving birth. Bless her, she really can't ever look like a hot mess and this is no exception. Congrats on the Derby winnings!
Girlfriend, you are so right... how does Kate leave the hospital looking like a million bucks?!!! If only I looked that good after 8 hours of restful sleep, haha!
I want to know how Kate leaves the hospital so quickly. Did she even spend the night?? Is it just Americans that stay multiple nights?
I've never heard of bag worms but they sound disgusting!
Cory is so mad that we haven't seen Avengers yet. I don't remember seeing the first one but he swears we have. They all just start running together!
Bahahaha... "bag worm killer!" That's awesome! How gross!!!!! | 2019-04-23T16:50:48 | http://www.knitbygodshand.com/2015/05/the-weekend-that-i-was-winner.html |

In keeping with his usual panache, director Roger Peace has recreated the period with perfect heart and soul. It is an evening of song after song of vintage hits, punctuated with deliciously corny gags like the use of toilet plungers as microphones, a rousing audience participation number, and even a singing jingle for a Mercury Turnpike cruiser, a car which was discontinued in 1959.
It is not quite as mindless as it seems. It takes talent, teamwork and precision to make it work, and Peace has assembled a superlative ensemble cast.
Gab Desmond is smooth as Frankie, the group’s front man. With his chipmunk cheek, Michael Daniel Murphy’s Sparky is a scene stealing delight. Chris Barillaro is a nebbish Jinx with an incredible vocal range and Jonathan Petterson is a clumsy and forlorn Smudge who you can’t help but dig. They harmonize the boo-shoo-do-wop melodies beautifully and each shines in his solo routine with standout renditions of tunes such as Cry, Perfidia, Sixteen Tons and Chain Gang.
The Ed Sullivan show in three minutes is the showstopper of the evening, (for those in the audience who remember Ed Sullivan).
The production is enhanced with rear screen projections designed by George Allister and video animations by Eva Civjanovic which navigate the musical’s narrative. The choreography is so hep hurts, and for this show that is praise, not a put down. Kudos too to musical director, pianist David Terriault, Mike de Mais on bass, and Parker Bert on drums.
Forever Plaid is a fleeting return to the past, a time warp, a reminder not only of how much the music has changed since the 50s, but about how the greying audiences who are the main market for offerings like this are fading as well. | 2019-04-20T03:23:08 | http://www.themetropolitain.ca/articles/view/1497 |
MRRs had 2 athletes entered into the Half Marathon. Kenny Wilson and Michelle Donaldson-Slater.
Both ran a brilliant race at Glasgow Great Scottish Run.
There was typical Scottish weather, but that wouldn’t have bothered our 2 runners.
Kenny Wilson finished 7th overall, a superb achievement with a time of – 67.37, over a minute pb.
Very well done to both runners. It was awesome to watch a big race on TV and see people you know and run with racing.
Good to see an absolute running legend in the bottom pic, but who’s that with Kenny? | 2019-04-21T22:27:35 | https://morayroadrunners.com/running/great-scottish-run/ |

Ryuichi Sakamoto and Carsten Nicolai aka Alva Noto are working on the soundtrack for Alejandro G Iñárritu’s new film The Revenant. Based on Michael Punke’s novel, it’s Iñárritu’s follow-up to Birdman, his 2014 film which featured a score consisting mostly of Antonio Sanchez’s solo drumming. The Revenant is set in the 1880s and stars Leonardo DiCaprio as a bear attack victim left abandoned in the American wilderness. Sakamoto and his longtime collaborator Nicolai will also be working alongside Bryce Dessner on the score.
The Revenant will be premiered on 25 December, with its worldwide release following on 8 January 2016. Sakamoto and Nicolai’s soundtrack will be released digitally by Milan Records on 25 December and as a CD in late January.

WASHINGTON, D.C.New telehealth gadgets and applications are popping up every day, but physicians are usually still left with the same old questions about them: Do they work? Will I get sued? And can I get paid?The answers to those questions may be coming as soon as Thursday in the form of a new physician payment schedule, according to a panel by the Internet Innovation Alliance. And if it answers the outlying questions satisfactorily, panelists said 2018 could become the year when telemedicine moves into the mainstream.”This has been an incredible year for digital medicine,” said Sylvia Trujillo, senior Washington counsel at the American Medical Association, during the panel. “It will likely go down in the books as the turning point for digital transformations, in my opinion.”Trujillo pointed to pending changes in the physician fee schedule, more flexibility at the Department of Veterans Affairs to bring virtual care into patients’ homes, and new laws lifting restrictions around Medicare reimbursement for telehealth. | 2019-04-23T22:18:26 | https://www.healthcareguys.com/newscenter/with-cms-new-physician-fee-schedule-on-the-way-2018-could-be-a-turning-point-for-telemedicine/ |

Although shoulder and joint replacement is less common than knee or hip replacement, it is still just as successful in relieving joint pain. If nonsurgical treatments like medications and activity changes are no longer helpful for relieving pain, you may want to consider shoulder joint replacement surgery. Joint replacement surgery is safe and effective procedure to relieve pain and help you resume everyday activities.
In shoulder replacement surgery, the damaged parts of the shoulder are removed and replaces with artificial components, called prosthesis. The treatment options are either replacement of just the head of the humerus bone (ball), or replacement of both the hall and the socket (glenoid).
Shoulder replacement surgery is highly technical. It should be performed by a surgical team with experience in this procedure. The procedure to replace your shoulder joint with an artificial device usually takes about 2 hours. After surgery, you will be moved to the recovery room, where you will remain for several hours while your recovery from anesthesia is monitored.
Your medical team will give you several doses of antibiotics to prevent infection. Most patients are able to eat solid food and get out of bed the day after surgery. After surgery, you will feel some pain. This is a natural part of the healing process. Your doctor and nurses will work to reduce your pain, which can help you recover from surgery faster.
Most shoulder surgery patients can resume their normal activities within a few months. Your surgeon will discuss this specifically with you. The success of your surgery will depend largely on how well you follow your surgeon’s instructions at home during the first few weeks after surgery.
Visit you doctor to find out if this surgery would be right for you. | 2019-04-20T17:03:27 | https://practicepartners.org/blogspost/total-shoulder-joint-replacement/ |
Despite the overly reassuring (and quite possibly fanciful) statements coming out of Egypt's MOH this year (see Egyptian MOH Statement: No Bird Flu Cases Since Last Summer) the expectation is many - perhaps even most - human avian flu infections go undetected.
It's a phenomenon we've seen repeated in China with H7N9, where estimates (see Lancet: Clinical Severity Of Human H7N9 Infection) ran from 12 to 200 times the official number of cases, to the United States where Swine variant flu infections in 2012 (see CID Journal: Estimates Of Human Infection From H3N2v (Jul 2011-Apr 2012)) were estimated 200 times greater than reported.
Similarly, Saudi Arabia has reported 1285 MERS infections to date, yet a seroprevalence study published last April in the Lancet (see Presence of Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus antibodies in Saudi Arabia: a nationwide, cross-sectional, serological study by Drosten & Memish et al., projected 44 951 (95% CI 26 971–71 922) individuals older than 15 years might be seropositive for MERS-CoV in Saudi Arabia.
None of these are actual head counts, yet based on the limited serological studies that have been done and some calculations way above my pay grade, the numbers are probably reasonable extrapolations.
Last year Egypt reported roughly 160 H5N1 cases, four time more than in any twelve month period before. These represented only those sick enough to be hospitalized, and lucky enough to be tested. Presumably some number were only mildly ill, were misdiagnosed, or otherwise lost in the shuffle.
Last year we also saw evidence that the H5N1 virus in Egypt - which has been poorly controlled for a decade - had developed some `mammalian' mutations (see Eurosurveillance: Emergence Of A Novel Cluster of H5N1 Clade 2.2.1.2) that might have made it easier for the virus to jump to humans.
Over the years we've seen several analyses indicating that most of the poultry vaccines in use have been ineffective (see A Paltry Poultry Vaccine) and may only have hidden signs of infection in poultry, allowing viruses to spread and mutate.
All of which brings us to an EID Journal study, published today, that suggests there may have been tens (perhaps, hundreds) of thousands of human H5N1 infections in Egypt over the past decade.
If true, it would dramatically lower the CFR (Case Fatality Rate) for the virus (a good thing), but it would aslo indicate the virus is more human adapted than previously thought (a not-so good thing).
The authors base this assumption on a limited serological study that found antibodies for H5 in roughly 2% of the people tested. Even more remarkably, this study found 5.6% to 7.5% seroprevlance of antibodies to H9N2, an even less commonly reported human infection.
I've only excerpted the abstract, along with a few choice selections from this lengthy, data-rich, and fascinating report. It is well worth reading in its entirety.
In Egypt, avian influenza A subtype H5N1 and H9N2 viruses are enzootic in poultry. The control plan devised by veterinary authorities in Egypt to prevent infections in poultry focused mainly on vaccination and ultimately failed. Recently, widespread H5N1 infections in poultry and a substantial increase in the number of human cases of H5N1 infection were observed. We summarize surveillance data from 2009 through 2014 and show that avian influenza viruses are established in poultry in Egypt and are continuously evolving genetically and antigenically. We also discuss the epidemiology of human infection with avian influenza in Egypt and describe how the true burden of disease is underestimated. We discuss the failures of relying on vaccinating poultry as the sole intervention tool. We conclude by highlighting the key components that need to be included in a new strategy to control avian influenza infections in poultry and humans in Egypt.
An unprecedented increase in the number of human infections with the highly pathogenic avian influenza A(H5N1) virus was observed in Egypt during the 2014–15 winter season. The World Health Organization reported that 31 cases were confirmed in 2014, of which 27 were in persons infected as of September (1). The Ministry of Health and Population in Egypt confirmed 31 cases in 2014 and 88 in January and February 2015. Thus, the official number of cases during September 2014–February 2015 was 114, including 36 deaths. Furthermore, in February 2015, the first human case of subtype H9N2 virus infection in Egypt was reported. These events compelled national and international authorities to examine the reasons behind the increase in human infections and implement control measures.
In Egypt, the number of reported human cases of avian influenza infection appears to be underestimated. An underestimation might result in an overestimation of the case-fatality rate, but it would certainly underestimate the extent of human infection with avian influenza viruses. Results from a controlled, serologic cohort study of persons in Egypt exposed and not exposed to poultry estimated the seroprevalence of antibodies against H5N1 (titers >80) at 2% (19).
If this seroprevalence were to be extrapolated to the entire poultry-exposed population in Egypt, the true number of infections would amount to several hundred thousand. These figures are even more striking when it comes to human infection with H9N2 viruses. The seroprevalence of H9N2 antibodies detected in the same cohort study (19) ranged from 5.6% to 7.5%, whereas just 1 case of H9N2 infection was reported.
H5N1 viruses elicit a poor humoral immune response, providing low antibody titers that typically fade over a short period (20,21). Thus, relying on serologic testing to detect prevalence or incidence of infection can yield underestimated results.
3) the poultry vaccination program is failing.
However, our perspective was limited to the data available through our surveillance program, which might not be representative of the epizootiology of avian influenza virus in Egypt. Regardless of the causes of the recent increase in human H5N1 cases, this situation evolved because of the ineffective control strategy that was implemented. Controlling the situation requires a One Health approach, but certainly the greater share of responsibility now lies with the veterinary side.

I saw this film and was pleasantly surprised. I didn't expect a "B-rate" film to capture and hold my attention the method this one did. I happened to be skipping through channels when I saw the uniforms and cavalry and before I knew it, I had seen the entire movie. It's a nice storyline about how a tiny group of troops went vs the grain during a rough period in our country's history. I've seen Don Johnson in a lot of various roles throughout the years and I think this was one of his greatest roles. Its a easy story with a satisfied ending but I would definitely suggest anyone see it-especially if you are an animal lover.
The actors (both human and animal) were well cast. The direction of this TV movie was excellent. The film depicted a humane aspect of the military.The troops started out with some conflict of personalities and became a "team". They had one goal: SAVE THE HORSES. The horses chosen for these roles were well trained and were superb animals.Before watching this film, I had a high regard for General Douglas MacArthur. The notification given in the movie shows other side of the fight hero; one not so favorable.The compassion shown by the Calvery soldier to his partner (the horse) was extremely emotional. He was ready to give his life for his "partner". The soldier looked upon the mount as an equal and treated the animal with dignity. I was unaware that when the troops and horses went into battle, they were a team; one depending on the another for their survival. The horse was trained to manoeuvre and reply to protect his rider. This is a part of history that remains a secret to most people.
This is the first movie I have seen that accurately depicts the U.S. Units Horse Cavalry during this time period.My father was a trooper in the cavalry during this time period, as an orderly to General Patton (then colonel), other cavalry man.My father's stories reflected this closeness of a trooper and his horse.The movie was also accurate in uniforms, saddles, and tack, along with the handling of the horses.Don Johnson's roll of the Sergeant was remarkable, one of his greatest performances.I would suggest this movie to anyone interested in a missed part of our history, and to anyone just wanting to see a very nice movie. | 2019-04-25T02:53:36 | https://similarmovies.net/movies-like-in-pursuit-of-honor-1995-similar |

Japanese Episode AG 087: "Shinpi! Uchuu kara Kita Pokemon!?"
American Episode 359: "Crazy as a Lunatone"
One night, a comet can be seen streaking through the sky toward a small town. The meteorite lands as Ken and Mary, the two members of the PFC, arrive at the crater created by the shooting star. The two are excited to see a Lunatone come out of the rock and attempt to capture the pokemon, but it is able to get away. Later, Satoshi and his friends stop by Valley Town on their way to Minamo City. There, they notice that everyone in the town is acting strange, as if they are possessed by something. Satoshi-tachi decide to sneak around the Pokemon Center in order to find out what's wrong, but they bump into the Rocket-Dan instead! Both groups stumble across Lunatone, who, according to Nyasu, started controlling the minds of the townspeople because it was scared. Lunatone is weakened now and needs to be placed under a full moon in order to regain its energy, so Satoshi and his friends decide to help. According to Joi, who has broken free of Lunatone's spell, a full moon is scheduled for that night! However, because of the unique landscape surrounding the town, the moon cannot be viewed from the streets, meaning Satoshi-tachi will have to transport the Lunatone to a place called Bakuuda Hill if they want to expose it to the moonlight. The gang carries the pokemon, evading the PFC along the way, all the way to the hill. Suddenly, the Rocket-Dan attack! The PFC also arrives and sends the Rocket-Dan blasting off before setting their sights on Lunatone. Fortunately, Lunatone has absorbed enough of the moon's rays to regain its strength and wastes no time in sending the PFC blasting off. Now that Lunatone is better, Valley Town can return to normal, and so our heroes resume their journey to Minamo City.
Well, this episode was pretty so-so. I mean, it started off well enough, but then it just went into the cookie cutter "let's help a random pokemon for no reason" plot that this show reuses over and over again. There were some great parts - the PFC and their Game Boy Advance SP, their mistaken capture of Hasubrero, Satoshi-tachi running away from Joi, the fact that Takeshi has a picture of the tanned Joi from the Orange Islands for no reason - but the rest was just meh.
Lunatone has a different voice in the dub as it does in the Japanese version. You win some, you lose some.
Then, after the episode's title screen, a second is cut from the shot of the valley.
Basically, 4Kids changed 19:19 (7:19pm) into 11:54pm. Now the best reason I can come up for this change is because the Japanese version shows a 24-hour clock, and 4Kids thought that American kids wouldn't be able to handle that. The thing is, the times aren't equivalent, and the time in the dubbed version doesn't make any sense when you consider that the moon rises way before midnight in most places in the world. The 7:19pm in the Japanese version is much more realistic. | 2019-04-26T12:09:42 | http://dogasu.bulbagarden.net/comparisons/houen/ep087.html |
Bruins can’t cool off the Chill!
The Austin Bruins traveled east to Coulee Region Wisconsin to take on the Coulee Region Chill on Thanksgiving Day. The Bruins split their games at Riverside Arena this past weekend against the Chill. On Friday night the Bruins won 5-2, on Saturday night the Bruins lost in overtime 4-3. Jordan Greenberg has 7 points in his last five games and has continued to spark the offense night after night. Jeremy Finger and Trevor Waldoch will both be participating in the Top Prospects tournament in Boston Massachusetts, December 5-7. Both will be competing for team Weight named after former National Hockey League star Doug Weight. The team is comprised of the top prospects in each division in the league. The first period from the Onalaska Omni Center play was even. The Chill outshot the Bruins 9-8 in the first period as the contest was scoreless after one period. The middle period the Chill scored less than a minute in as Zack Frischmon scored his 17th of the season. The Chill continued to work hard as Lucas Dillon scored before the end of the period. The Bruins peppered goaltender Aaron Davis with 28 shots through two periods of play. At the second intermission the Coulee Region Chill led 2-0. The final period James Dickinson scored for the Bruins on the power play assisting on the tally was Chase McDonald. The Chill went right back to work as Berkley Scott scored for the Chill. Next it was Jake Useldinger who scored for the Chill. The Chill then added one more from Jake Useldinger as the Chill went on to win with a final score of 5-1.The Bruins are back in action at Riverside arena on December 4th and 5th as they take on the Alexandria Blizzard. On Friday night the puck drops at 7:30 and on Saturday night the puck drops at 7:00. Bring the family down to Riverside Arena and check out the game.

Wellhaven just bought our hospital earlier this year. So far, we've been promised a lot and gotten nothing except budget cuts, forced change in suppliers and products, and large staff turnover (some by choice, some not). Part-time staff gets no benefits aside from pet benefits, which aren't great...no holiday pay, no sick time, (actually, no PTO of any sort), and no healthcare (I realize the latter is not uncommon). So far, I'm unimpressed.
Wellhaven purchased our well-established clinic with the promise of maintaining our vision, culture, and integrity while helping us update and modernize our facility. While they did create a new beautifully updated clinic, they drove away an extremely close knit and loyal staff with unmet promises, little communication, extremely poor leadership, and no mentorship and turned it into your typical big box establishment "firing" and driving away our most loyal clients.
Working at WellHaven has been an excellent experience. A noble cause of helping pets everywhere while simultaneously being surrounded by hardworking, creative and fun people! Each day you have the opportunity to learn, grow and solve complex problems. Startups are fun!
Challenge profession to think outside the box. Can have a happy sustainable career in this profession.
A lot of flexibility to do the right thing. Focus on doctor, team happiness to ensure that pet parents will have the best interactions. Opening the pet parents to a mutual relationship based on trust and encouragement to be a responsible pet parent. All along providing quality medical preventive care for pets.
Exciting, new, provide support for those in the hospital, so everyone can lead better lives.
Starting from scratch, helping to mold a new culture, not reinvent the wheel but make it better. Requires leaning in and rolling with the changes. Growth, improvement is not easy, but worth it.
Great company. The best group of people I've ever worked with!
Working with the freedom to make meaningful changes in the daily lives of our team members. There is a well supported leadership structure that allows us to put the hospitals at the center of our focus. Everyone at WellHaven has a positive attitude about the future of veterinary medicine and what we can do to continue to improve the lives of pets. I am able to share the passion I have for what I do and use my experience to consult with numerous hospitals. Decisions are made with a collaborate effort so we can all agree what is best for WellHaven moving forward. Don't miss an opportunity to join us if it presents itself to you.
We all want to work somewhere that we can make a difference in. At WellHaven, being a start up means that you get that opportunity to help create the culture and the processes. It also means that you have to be agile and willing to put in the work. A coworker recently said, that here we have to figure out whats to solve problems. If you want someone to tell you what to do and how to do it, this isn't the place for you. We really are looking for people that can come to the table with solutions and follow through. The reward is to be able to see the changes and the impacts we have on people and pets. That's why WellHaven is awesome. I definitely recommend this company!
A new start-up veterinary CHAIN, which started out and grew too fast, thus upper management has no idea what they are doing, mid management is “toxic”, and in hospital management lacks structure. Less than favorable client relations (all about P and L) Awful benefits for staff pets (the corporation actually MAKES MONEY off of their employees).
I love the view this company takes on women in leadership roles- they fully support and encourage women in every level of the company! There is even a group called Women of Wellhaven that gets together to brainstorm how to better encourage women in the workplace.
Ask a question about working or interviewing at WellHaven Pet Health. Our community is ready to answer. | 2019-04-21T18:16:05 | https://www.indeed.com/cmp/Wellhaven-Pet-Health/reviews |
The good and bad sides of the digital revolution – Digital Business Insights!
Written by John Sheridan on April 1, 2018 . Posted in Insights.
The digital revolution continues to challenge the societies we live in. For better or worse. Connecting us to information and each other, fostering community and collaboration, but at the same time destroying jobs, and capturing personal data for manipulation, propaganda and control.
You want to win an election? Shift attention like a matador? Feed the gullible? Well, now you can.
This is where we now live. In a polarised world. Both good and bad. Brokered by Email, SMS. Google. Facebook. Instagram. Twitter and the rest.
The digital revolution is reshaping the world at a scale never seen before and everyone is involved. Spooks. Politicians. Criminals. Gangsters. Corporates. Businesses. Individuals and organisations of all kinds.
Digital disruption is remorseless and destructive, and is predicted to eliminate 50% of jobs during the next twenty years.
Over twenty technologies and vendors of various kinds ranging through 5G, Blockchain, IoT, AI, Robots, Drones, VR, AR, BIM, GPS, satellites, Digital ID, 3D printing, nanotech, cloud services, Amazon, Google, Uber, Freelancer, Airbnb and so on are causing this affect, all knocking on the front door at the same time.
Some are knocking louder than others, some are knocking together and some want to come in right now.
New jobs are being created, but the combined effect of these technologies is net job destruction and replacement, not by other jobs, but by software in various forms. Human effort replaced by software.
The signs are there. The evidence is everywhere.
Politicians don’t understand it and they don’t like this disruption happening on their watch. Job loss and disruption is bad news for politicians.
So they deny it. Deliver platitudes. Talk about something else. Manipulate the facts. They fudge the figures = standard operating practice for politicians. They worry about their short term future = the next election, and do nothing useful about the longer term implications of what is steadily becoming inevitable.
In Australia, unemployment and underemployment is 20% already in 2018, with ever more people moving to contracts, self employment, part time, freelance, occasional and Centrelink.
The technologies are here. The genies won’t go back in the bottle and they all have big teeth.
We can’t stop them. But with careful consideration, we can get them working for us not against us, soften the impacts and manage the change.
For which, we need to do two things.
One, understand what is causing the disruption, which sectors and categories are threatened by which technologies, which sectors are safer than others, why it is happening, when it is happening, what new skills may help and what the upside is, if any.
Clarity offers options. Options offer control of destiny. We are then able to make wiser decisions.
And we need to recognise and understand the interconnected fact of digital technology. “1”s and “0’s”. Wires and wireless.
It all joins up. Social. Economic. Environmental. Political. Ethical. Personal.
Which creates a new range of interconnections, challenging silo thinking, “frogs in wells” and the “narrow thinking”, “my job” way we view the world we live in.
In a joined up, interconnected world – which we now inhabit – we need joined up, interconnected thinking that doesn’t stop at the door, the fence or even the border and you won’t find that in any government or corporate “department”, ministerial department or any of the small cupboards we live our lives within.
“It’s more than my jobs worth”. “It’s not our core business”. “It’s none of my business.” And so on.
Of course, not everyone is blind to new interconnected opportunities.
The data generated from connection is being harvested for good and for bad as well. Cambridge Analytics are only doing what the spooks have been doing for years. Along with Google, Facebook and any large organisation with lots of data.
Blockchain may be our protection against this misuse of personal data. We’ll see.
But the digital revolution continues and the disruption rolls on.
There are roughly 2.3 million organisations in Australia, employing over 12 million people.
About 2.4 million people are currently unemployed or underemployed looking for work or more work, with a lot more destined to join them because of digital disruption and job loss.
And disruptive technology affects just about every one of the 2.3 million organisations and every individual in some way.
Technologies are tools. Each technology enhances or extends existing human capabilities in some way, our senses, our brain and our body.
It’s the same in our businesses and organisations. Technology automates processes and activities within an organisation to increase efficiency, productivity and effectiveness. We are now getting particularly good at this.
As mentioned, over twenty technologies and vendors of various kinds ranging through 5G, Blockchain, IoT, AI, Robots, Drones, VR, AR, BIM, GPS, satellites, Digital ID, 3D printing, cloud services, Amazon, Google, Uber, Freelancer, Airbnb and so on are now helping to enhance or replace humans in some way.
This can be in a practical process or activity (hand), design activity (eye) or a thinking activity (brain). If it can be automated it will be.
And processes and activities that are repetitive offer the best, short-term opportunity for automation and replacement.
We have all witnessed the impacts of robotisation on manufacturing. And mining. We are now beginning to see the impact of robotisation on other sectors, such as wholesale and agriculture with different results.
Over time, the wholesale industry will lose jobs. Agriculture will gain jobs.
Wholesale can be fully automated. Box shifting. For as long as humans are cheaper than robots the transition will be postponed. And an interim step will be making humans “act like robots” with wrist controllers managing activity in the warehouse, measuring efficiency, comparing workers and replacing workers not up to target with new workers.
Cyborgs. Who can and will be fully replaced by robots once the cost benefit merits the decision. Wholesale employs just over half a million people in Australia.
Each disruptive technology affects sectors and categories in different ways.
But it is in the service industries that process and activity automation in its latest incarnation (AI) will hit hardest and soonest. Jobs in rental and real estate, administrative services, finance and insurance, professional services and public administration are all under threat.
Which adds up to about 5 million people challenged by one technology.
As a principle, “Middle person” jobs can and will be replaced by Artificial Intelligence (AI). It’s just a matter of time. Any person who sits between you and a vendor without adding significant value will be replaced with technology.
Financial advice, mortgage advice and insurance advice from AI is already far more reliable, fair, balanced and trustworthy than advice from human advisors who look after their vested interests first, not yours.
The Royal Commission into banking and insurance is providing lots of examples of vested interest, manipulation and corruption. These advisors are ripe for replacement.
The same is true in rental and real estate. Replacement.
These “middle person” jobs will be replaced by AI, better able to manage the real interests of buyers and sellers, not the interests of the agent – the “middle person”, who is only interested in listings and quick sales = commission, no matter what they might say to your face.
But the real estate industry is cushioned for now. For in Australia, the interests of News Ltd and Fairfax, who own Realestate.com and Domain support an industry that is effectively a “dead man walking”. For now.
None will give up their commercial advantage willingly. But they are fighting a rearguard action that will ultimately end in defeat.
As you can appreciate there is a lot to gain and a lot to lose in this disruptive transition.
Jobs will continue to steadily disappear. The speed at which they do will be a result of the struggle between the old world and the new. Between vested interest and innovation.
Over 2 million people are employed in the three levels of public administration in Australia, paid for by taxes.
They produce nothing. All politicians talk about the need to reduce “red tape” but they never do. A wide range of existing and new technologies could reduce the size of the public service tomorrow, but this is unlikely to happen.
For obvious reasons. Campbell Newman tried in Queensland and lost the next election. Political expediency protects the public service for now. Until the money runs out and treasury can no longer cover the payroll.
Because it all joins up, and a steadily decreasing workforce generates less tax.
So it is hardly the time to be giving tax breaks to big business in Australia. We need all the tax income we can get.
Some industry sectors include a mixture of safe and threatened business categories.
Administrative services and professional services have categories in both camps.
Where creativity, experience and insight are important to a business category and the category deals with a workflow of unique challenges eg engineering, veterinary, architecture, design and surveying – the category is safe.
Where processes can be automated easily eg legal services, accounting and taxation processing, clerical services and employment services, the category is under threat.
We estimate from our 50,000 surveys across all categories and sectors, that 9 of the 19 industry sectors are seriously challenged with another 2 partially challenged. And those 11 sectors are the major employing sectors, representing about 5-6 million jobs.
Now, not all those jobs will disappear. And those jobs are not all under threat tomorrow. But threat is on the way.
This is the scale of the issue that we face. It is a big deal.
Some sectors are better off than others.
Construction is one of those. We have a huge investment in brick, stone and wooden houses in Australia, all of which need renovation, fixing and improving from time to time. And construction employs a lot of people. Over a million.
Agriculture is another interesting sector in Australia, dominated by “mum and dad farmers” (93%). And technology continues to enhance the sector not threaten it.
The main threat to “mum and dad farmers” is not appreciating the value of the data they gather on their farms. Especially if added to the data from the farm next door, and all the farms in the valley and the region.
Farmers have to collaborate to capture, own and manage data for their individual and collective interests, and not allow it to be captured, aggregated and used by a farm management system, cloud provider for its interests.
Agricultural data will become increasingly valuable as we witness the impacts of climate change on the oceans, rivers, estuaries, farms, properties and regions across the country.
Working with their industry associations, farmers need to collectively own and manage this data for themselves, their children, grandchildren and the towns and regions they live in. Then farmers will be able to manage future threats to work and jobs, and leverage new opportunities sustainably.
The retail industry in Australia is challenged from outside, by Amazon and a growing range of other online retailers.
The only safe space in retail is in “fresh” fruit and vegetables, fish and meat, convenience = local or fast delivery, big things and specialisation. The battle between commodity retailers (anything in a box) and online retailers has only just begun.
We have mapped the impacts of over 20 technologies on 484 business categories and the results vary widely in timing, the degree of protection by vested interests and existing business relationships, and room to pivot, adapt and change.
Understanding the digitally disrupted world of work and jobs makes answering that question a lot easier.
That’s the passive picture. If we just let it happen to us. If we just react as things happen.
But what if we act positively and with vision? Now.
What if we have a plan?
What if we build a wider foundation of productive industries in Australia?
What if we increase value in these productive industries? How do we add value? How do we increase exports and profitability?
Because, we don’t have to just let the digital revolution happen TO us. We can use the digital tools to make it happen FOR us.
We are blessed with a wide range of productive industries in Australia that we have barely begun to work on – agriculture, arts and recreation, information media and communications, education and manufacturing as well as medical and health, mining services, waste management, defence, smart trades and some professional services.
Each of these sectors and categories represents an opportunity to add value, through better matching of R&D with production, through design, through branding and advertising.
We have become good at shipping “dirt, meat and wheat” out the door. Now we have to get good at adding value. Matching R&D with business. Branding. Exporting.
There are always opportunities to increase exports from Australia.
We have the “brain power”. And we have plenty of resources to add value to. Manufacturers, producers and services with world class capability.
We just need the focus and the willpower.
These R&D and creative industry jobs = STEAM are what we need to invest in as a nation to create a more resilient, better paid and sustainable environment for us, our kids and grandkids to work in.
Not push them towards the lower paid, no future, replaceable jobs in retail, personal services and health and social assistance services.
Or mislead them into industry sectors and categories that are about to change forever because of digital disruption.
We have to invest in productive industries, building a range of new branded, products and services for the world.
Connect Australian businesses with others in other countries to grow trade.
The India-Australia groups for energy, water, environment, manufacturing, smart cities, agricultural and food and METS in the RED Toolbox – https://theredtoolbox.org are places where Australian and Indian businesses, councils, states and other organisations can discuss trade and opportunity.
Vision. Decision. And off we go.
The tools are there for us to do it.
But not everybody is ready, willing or able to change.
This issue is beyond politics. And politicians are ill informed, slow and ill placed to do much about these issues, tied to the election cycle as they are.
Leadership will have to come from individuals, businesses, local and state government, utilities, corporates and other organisations willing to act.
Even today, access to reliable, affordable, high-speed connectivity (the foundation for a digital future) is a problem in our country. It is available in the cities and suburbs (mostly), but not across every remote, regional and rural area of our land. Through lack of vision and decision, we have created a second class.
Through lack of vision and decision, we are talking about giving the most profitable companies in our country tax breaks, when we should be investing that money in supporting productive industries.
The challenge to Australia and the world is from the disruptive technologies that will impact every industry sector.
We know what they are. We know what they are doing.
Other countries around the world are responding faster than we are.
But very few of them have the richness in assets and resources that we have to work with. So we have no excuse.
Vision and decision. Partnership and action.
Become a RED Toolbox partner and collectively, let’s see what we can do. | 2019-04-24T00:28:35 | https://www.db-insights.com/?p=91 |
Preston Howard and Carson Walter, two high school students were hired this summer through the Nex-Generation Round-up for Youth, Inc. grant to work at the USD 298 Board Office. This internship allowed assistance with the newly established Paw Print Store, support with the Summer Food Program at Lincoln Elementary School and general help at the board office.
The board office has offered this internship during the summer for the past three years. This year two interns were hired to fill this vacancy to cover the large variety of jobs needing to be done.
Carson and Preston worked on different projects throughout the summer. Carson assisted more on the office side of things: collecting and sending mail, creating and distributing flyers, copying enrollment papers and making packets to mail out and checking in supplies for the upcoming school year.
Preston started off the summer preparing the Paw Print store to be opened at the end of June. He painted the store, built the clothing racks, and took inventory of the clothes. The grand opening of the store was on June 25, 2018. Preston helped with the summer food program at Lincoln Elementary School. He also contributed in the office by checking in packages, answering phone calls and shredding old documents.
Preston and Carson first heard of the internship at the Fort Hays Career Expo last school year. The application period opened in March. They both submitted a cover letter, a resume and were interviewed.
“Carson and Preston were a wonderful addition to the board office this summer. They brought with them daily an eagerness to assist with anything asked of them and contributed a youthful sense of humor at a horribly busy time of year. The workload that descends annually in summer months in the form of mountains of paper work, closing out the fiscal year; creating the budget for the upcoming year, state reports, ordering teacher supplies in anticipation of another school year, etc. these students remind board office staff why they ‘do what they do’ every year. Their professional assistance was appreciated and their energy wonderful”, said Greta Obermueller. | 2019-04-18T22:58:56 | http://www.usd298.com/article/55309?org=district |
As the eighth most populous nation in the world, with a moderate Muslim population that largely welcomes cooperation with the West, Bangladesh has a warming relationship with the United States – yet not one so close as to give Washington significant leverage.
Sheikh Hasina’s Awami League won an incredible 288 seats in the 300-seat parliament in the December 30 election, with opposition leader Khaleda Zia — her bitter nemesis for decades – in jail on charges her opponents say are politically motivated while the press faces draconian new restrictions.
She has also earned widespread praise in Washington for taking in more than 700,000 Rohingya refugees who fled from neighbouring Myanmar in a brutal campaign the United States has called ethnic cleansing – stopping the crisis from become more regional in dimension.
“The United States is the largest bilateral investor and largest trading market,” he said. “The US will need to show that it is not business as usual, or otherwise it sends a totally wrong signal. | 2019-04-19T16:29:03 | http://orangenews9.com/us-charts-careful-course-on-bangladesh-after-criticizing-vote/ |

Geraldine Hooper was born into comfortable circumstances on 30th March 1841 and baptised at Hemington Church near Hardington Park, Somerset. Her father was descended from the Marian martyr John Hooper, the Bishop of Gloucester and Worcester and remarkably she later married a man who was descended from probably the most famous of all Marian martyrs, Thomas Cranmer, Archbishop of Canterbury.
At seventeen Geraldine was in danger of becoming one of the spoilt favourites of fashion, but then something happened to her that changed everything. Her biographer says, “It is neither possible nor desirable to enter into the particulars of the trials that at this time were permitted to encompass this lovely and loving young creature.”I am sure it was possible, but I suspect that she didn’t want to associate her friend with scandal. According to Jean Field, who wrote a book called ‘Landor’ about the poet Walter Savage Landor; at 16 Geraldine was befriended by a neighbour, a Mrs Yescombe. Clearly, Geraldine became very attached to Mrs Yescombe who seems to have introduced her into society. Yescombe introduced her to Landor, saying that Geraldine had been cruelly treated by her parents and needed help, so he gave Mrs Yescombe a considerable sum of money only to find out later that it was a hoax. We will never know the true story, but I believe Geraldine did not know what was going on; she was a loving, trusting, naïve girl who was herself duped. She must have felt completely betrayed.
She was taken by a friend to a Bible reading given by William Haslam (see this website), who was a curate of the Parish at that time. What she heard made her realise that, “I can’t come here and go on with worldly society; I must give up one or the other.” She began to help Haslam at his street meetings, particularly by leading the singing, but also by inviting people in the street to come and listen to him, by helping to keep order and by following up people who gave their lives to the Lord at the meetings. Towards the end of 1861 Hooper began an early morning prayer-meeting for the poor before they started work. In the summer of 1862, with Haslam away for six weeks, she took on all the visiting, classes and meetings at his church in Avon Street.
She used to visit regularly the poor area of Holloway in Bath and one day someone lent her a kitchen from which she began gospel meetings with a few of the locals. Mrs Haslam was with her and was startled at her gifting in this area. The numbers grew and she soon needed to find a bigger place, so she moved her meetings to the Temperance Hall, Widcombe, and over time people from all parts of the city attended her meetings. Large numbers were converted and a band of Christian helpers soon gathered around her.
Remember that in 1861 women preachers were uncommon and many were prejudiced against them. In 1862 Hooper became ill and had to leave the city for her health. She seems to have been beset by illness quite frequently, but her biographer does not indicate what was wrong.
William Haslam wrote about Hooper in the second of his two autobiographical books called ‘Yet not I.’ He said, “Geraldine Hooper was indeed eminently useful to me. The cheerful readiness with which she acceded to my wishes and the wonderful ability and success with which she accomplished what she undertook, were truly astonishing.” In September 1863 Haslam and his family left Bath to take up the parishes of Buckenham and Hassingham, a few miles east of Norwich. From the first Sunday revival broke out and they had meetings every day for the next eight months. Into this environment came Hooper in December of that year. In his biography he says, “At this critical time, who should offer us a visit, but Miss Geraldine Hooper from Bath. After we left that place, she took up our mantle and went forward with a double portion of our spirit, and with much more result.”’ These are significant words from a man who led revival in several parts of the United Kingdom during his lifetime. I believe that she did literally that. Haslam seems to have been her mentor and it is likely that he prayed for a double portion for Hooper when he left Bath. The UK had been in revival since 1859 and so she was ministering in an atmosphere of revival; she also had an incredible heritage and had worked with and received a double portion from a great revivalist. Small wonder she ministered in such power.
Hooper had come to Norfolk for a rest, but she had little of that. Mrs Haslam asked her to speak at a barn meeting; she had never spoken to so many people, but William Haslam says, “Her address was like kindling a fresh fire and a very bright and warm one it was. The people became wild with admiration and their eagerness to hear her was intense. Her fame spread so rapidly that the Norwich papers took up the subject.”Hooper and Mrs Haslam would conduct many meetings in barns that would be full to bursting. Haslam describes a scene he witnessed, “One evening at the end of January, as I was returning home on a clear and frosty night, I could hear singing, though I was nearly a mile from my house. On approaching nearer I could distinguish the tune and thought I could hear Miss Hooper’s voice. Hastening forward I was astonished at the scene before me. It was a bright moonlit night, with snow on the ground and a cold north-east wind. In spite of this there was a very large concourse of people standing in rapt attention, listening to the preaching.
Hooper left Norfolk in February; there were 1,800 at her final meeting and they contributed something from their meagre income towards the gift of a gold watch to thank her for the work she had done among them. At the end of the meeting many went away crying at the thought of her leaving. Norfolk was the beginning of her wider ministry that took her to many parts of England. For the next eight years she preached around 4,000 times and visited many towns, speaking to thousands at a time. In most of the venues there were not enough seats to satisfy the hungry crowds. Sometimes she would arrange a 4.00am meeting for those who were locked out of her evening gathering. Many, many people came to know Jesus as their Saviour, although there are no records as to numbers because Hooper never kept any records. Her ministry was extraordinarily successful; one of the places that benefited a great deal was Luton and the surrounding area.
On one visit she spoke to 7,000 people, covered in a space between two large factories. She went on to Dunstable from Luton and a long report of the meetings is made by the Dunstable Borough Gazette on 12th May 1866. In it they report that, “These anticipations have been more than realised, and the feeling is that last Sunday, Monday and Tuesday must be marked as red letter days in our history.” Around 4,000 attended the meetings. The reporter described Hooper as eloquent, clear, original, fervent and earnest. The same paper reported that over 7,000 came to her meetings in July of the same year.
The newspapers carried reports of several of her meetings and some printed verbatim accounts of her sermons, a few of which can be read in her biography. Mrs Guinness warns that the verbatim accounts are not completely reliable and they can never give over the sense of power and anointing that were on her words.
She was just full of the love of Jesus and people could not fail to notice it and be drawn to her and to the Jesus she spoke about.
In October 1868 Hooper married evangelist Henry Dening. At first they lived in Ottery St Mary, Devon; where her husband combined his evangelistic work with those of a farmer. He later realised that he needed to be an evangelist full time, so he gave up farming and they moved back to Bath to live in her old childhood house in Green Park. They had a very happy marriage, Henry being a gifted man in his own right, and they were able to minister together well. Marriage filled a hole in Geraldine’s (I will call her Geraldine from now on to avoid confusion) life in that she had been quite lonely; never being in one place long enough to form good friendships. In 1870 she gave birth to a daughter.
In 1870 they built a Mission Hall that seated 1,000 people called St James’s Hall. This was a good base for their work in Bath and it was often filled to bursting when they had their many meetings there. However, this did bring up a difficult issue which was the question of whether they should form a church to look after all their adherents. Before her marriage Geraldine believed that it was unscriptural for a woman to lead a church, but now she was married the situation was different. Once they decided they were called to an itinerant ministry, they chose not to form a church, but rather urged their people to attend a converted ministry, it did not matter which denomination.
What is it about the work of the Lord that drives people to an early death? Many of the healing evangelists in America died in their fifties or early sixties and there are many other examples. On the one hand our bodies are ‘temples’ and so we have a duty to not abuse them; so it is ungodly if we drive ourselves to a state where our bodies break down. Anyone who has been involved in a ministry that sees the sick healed or people coming to Christ knows what a charge you get out of it. I can easily see how someone who sees thousands giving their lives to Christ wants to go on and on, but is that godly? Would not more people come to the Lord over forty or fifty years, if one worked at half speed, rather than over ten years at full speed? On the other hand one has to ask whether there was an anointing from the Lord for these ten years and then He was going to take His hand away. Did Geraldine know that she had a set time and so she had to do as much as possible in that time period?
In her last months Geraldine certainly knew that she was not going to live much longer. She often said that she did not expect to see her little girl grow up and that her training would not devolve on her. Her death came as a shock and a surprise to many, but not to her. On July 30th, 1872 she developed symptoms on her face of a disease called Erysipelas. This is a streptococcal infection that today is easily treated with antibiotics, but of course they did not have any in 1872. It would not normally cause death but Geraldine had the added complication of a low immune system due to her frequent illnesses. The doctors thought that she would recover, but she told her husband immediately on getting the illness that she wouldn’t. The inflammation went to the eyes and she became blind, then to the brain. A few days later she went to be with her Lord.
Many thousands came to see Geraldine to her final resting place in Locksbrook Cemetary in Bath. She was an extraordinary woman who did much to extend the Kingdom of God and her death was a tragic loss to the Body of Christ. What might she have done had she lived? Going back to the question of was she ungodly, driving herself when she knew that her body was not strong enough? I do not know the answer in Geraldine’s case, but generally speaking we must look after our bodies and I would say that being driven is not normally a godly attribute.
If you would like to read more about Geraldine Hooper then ask your library for ‘She Spake of Him’ by Mrs Grattan Guinness. We are fortunate that Mrs Guinness has included many eyewitness accounts that give a good idea of what Geraldine was like and how she ministered. Another book that mentions her is William Haslam’s second half of his autobiography ‘Yet not I,’ published in 1897. | 2019-04-19T20:35:36 | http://ukwells.org/revivalists/geraldine-hooper |

People should serve God loyally whatever their present circumstances may be.
When a person becomes a Christian, that person receives new life in his spirit (John 3:5-7). However, most of the circumstances in that person’s existing life do not usually change. For example, that person may be rich or poor. They may be married or unmarried. They still do the same kind of work; they still live in the same place.
Every person desires better circumstances. And of course a Christian hopes and prays for circumstances where he can serve God better.
James worried about some Christians who were trying to improve their lives. They were moving to a different town in order to make profits. But they were not asking God what he wanted them to do. Instead, they were proud because of the success that they expected (James 4:13-16).
Often we desire things that God does not want us to have. But even if we desire good things, we may still not receive them. Or, like Job, we must wait to receive them (James 5:11).
So in the meantime, we must serve God loyally in our present circumstances. Our circumstances may change, and then we will have to serve God in new circumstances. God has permitted this situation so that we can serve him in it. He will even use our troubles and difficulties to teach us and to help us (Hebrews 12:5-11). | 2019-04-25T23:41:09 | http://usefulbible.com/1corinthians/rule-for-everyone-circumstances.htm |
Scott & Harrill Residence Halls-haunted??
Scott and Harrill Residence Halls may seem like just two more dorms on the campus of Western Carolina University. However, each building has a reputation for being haunted because of some mysterious events that occurred in the past. Current and prospective students of WCU should keep these stories in mind when they select a dorm in which to live. The early 1990s was the time that Scott Hall began its conversion to "the dark side." During this time, it is said that a female student hung herself in the East Wing of the building. Her motives for suicide are not known, but the legend lives on. The floor was closed for many years afterwards because numerous people reported to have seen the young lady there. Unusual happenings in the dorm occurred as well, such as bathroom lights going on and off randomly, doors opening and closing when no one is there, and water running for no reason. The spirit of this young lady still seems to reside in Scott Hall, so residents and visitors should exercise caution there. The fifth floor of Harrill Hall has a similar history of unusual occurrences. According to legend, a girl died of an asthma attack while having a sleepover with her boyfriend. Unfortunately, she suffocated in her sleep. Her ghost is now said to haunt the fifth floor of Harrill, along with the building's elevators. The elevators sometimes open only on the first and fifth floors, but other times they open on all floors when no one is aboard. People on the fifth floor have reported strange occurrences and the feeling of being watched, as well. This girl seems to have influenced numerous parts of Harrill Hall, of which the WCU community should take note. So, just what makes a certain place "haunted"? Writers Brad and Sherry Hansen Steiger provide some insight about how to tell if a location might be one to avoid. According to the Steigers, "signs of a haunted building include knocks and rappings throughout the building, doors opening and slamming, cold drafts, and ghostly figures." They continue, "Genuine haunted houses soak up emotional unpleasantness from their former occupants." Locations with these characteristics should caution visitors that some unusual things happen inside. The residents of a particular building have much to do with whether it is haunted. "Almost any place could be haunted since most places have lots of human emotion in them," say the Steigers. "Hauntings occur from a merging of two figures: the original occupants in the past merge with the new occupants in the present day," they continue. "Collective emotions or thought processes of people who have lived somewhere in the past may have intensely 'charged' the psychic atmosphere of the place," say the Steigers. As a result, whether a location is haunted depends largely on the people that spend time there. The Steigers also provide information on ghosts. "Ghosts could be manifestations of past events that resurface in the present day." However, ghosts are nothing to be concerned about, as the Steigers detail, "There is nothing paranormal about seeing a ghost; once we figure out the emotions behind a ghost, it is easy to 'de-haunt' a certain place." Although many people think of ghosts negatively, the Steigers suggest that they are not as frightening or awful as society may believe. Whether in residence halls on the campus of Western Carolina University or in any other building, strange things happen to people. However, wouldn't life be so much more boring and uneventful if nothing ever changed from day to day? While the reports from Scott, Harrill, and society are not always happy-go-lucky, the events that occur there certainly keep people on their toes. | 2019-04-26T02:02:06 | http://www.westerncarolinian.com/news/view.php/417062/Scott-amp-Harrill-Residence-Halls-haunte |

Description In this hands-on day course you will learn about the principles of, and tools for, assessing data quality and reviewing disclosure risk in numeric data sources. Data assessment is extremely useful whether it is for wishing to create a high quality data for publishing, thereby supporting the transparency and replication agenda (e.g. to meet funder or journal policy), or simply to check unknown data that has been accessed for reuse. The requirements of the GDPR when processing and de-identifying data benefit from quick examination, using tools where possible.
The course will introduce the key elements of data quality and disclosure risk, including: file checks, data and metadata checks, and direct and indirect identifiers. The day makes use of two tools to undertake review. The first is QAMyData that automatically assesses elements of quality, such as missingness, duplication, outliers and direct identifiers. A user can specify and set thresholds in the QAMYData tool, to indicate what one is prepared to accept (i.e. no missing data or data must be fully labelled). Issues are identified in both a summary and detailed report. The second tool is SDCMicro, a practical tool for checking disclosure risk through examining combinations of key variables.
Know how to install QAMyData and SDCMicro on their own computers. | 2019-04-22T06:29:40 | https://www.ninedtp.ac.uk/event/assessing-data-quality-disclosure-risk-numeric-data/ |
I remember this ride well. It is a cornerstone of sorts for what I seek in cycling adventure. It was originally published on December 15th, 2008 for drunkcyclist.com. It was close to 200 miles in all. About half dirt and about half uphill as it went. I’m not sure what the kids are copyrighting this type of ride these days, but it was a mix of dirt and pavement laid across long and lonely roads.
After a lazy mid-day start in Flagstaff, I pedaled down Lake Mary road to arrive in Strawberry two hours past due, six hours into the remains of the day. The sun was on the wane, yet my ambition was not. I grabbed coffee and a plate of french fries to-go from a local diner, and got back on the road. Indeed, I was tired, but the allure of the unknown kept me going. The point of these experiences is to see what limits are out there anyway, right? I descended a very surreal “Burtonian” dirt road off of the massive canyon that separates Fossil Creek and the Verde river from the rest of the world. The destination I had in mind for the night was the extinct power plant establishment of Childs on northern side of the Verde river.
The road is cut out from the canyon cliffside and is a common route for tango-trash and wilderness buffs to descend on the Verde. The terrain is incredibly rugged. Without lights, I was riding into an abyss along the faint glow of a dirt road illuminated by moonlight. The glowing haze of the Irving power plant, upriver from Childs on Fossil Creek loomed off my right shoulder, far below. With the vague outline of a dirt road, and a goal of reaching Childs, as probability would have it, I missed the turn through the darkness. Instead, long, dark and silent climbs flowed into long black descents until miles later the lights of Camp Verde, Cottonwood and Jerome came into view, far off in the distance. I was far from where I wanted to be, but at last, it was the end of my effort for the day. I spent that night hidden under a Juniper off the side of the road staring off towards the lights to the west until I fell asleep.
120 miles down by morning, I back-tracked to Childs as originally planned. Arriving there half way into the second day, I had lost precious time. The grand idea was to cross the verde river at Childs and continue south on various jeep roads through Bloody Basin, eventually making it to Phoenix. I gave myself a narrow window of 3.5 days to make this happen. Due to the errant routing of the night before, I was too far down on time and my want of uncharted wandering was up against the truth of exhaustion and time. Still, I walked a yard into the freezing Verde not sure what the choice should be. There, freezing, I looked at the 60 yards left yet to cross, and the massive unknown terrain that lay ahead, and I knew then that I was to quietly bow out. I spent the rest of the day lounging in the warmth of the hot springs. The next day would be as hard as the first.
That evening, the weather turned, bringing on more questioning. Soon after lying down with the sun, I felt the beginnings of the storm with subtle drops of rain. The gusts soon followed. Earlier in the day, I noted an option for circumstances such as these. My reluctance to use it vanished as the rain & wind evolved into storm and deluge. Through a cut gap in the fence of the now defunct Childs hydro-electric Power plant, enough of an overhanging roof remained and concrete walkway remained. I would hunker down for the night, atop the foundation of Arizona’s eerie history.
The plant sits on top of three canals that are now dry. Their dead travertine leading out to the Verde. They are one of few things remaining after the decommissioning of Childs in the late 90’s. What remains is tagged, smashed, bent or burned proper white trash style. Nothing left to decay honorably. I peered through a welded strap steel door barrier, through a broken portal window to see a podium illuminated by ambient light in the center of a large room. A dull green wall, full of gauges top to bottom, stood just beyond the podium. I imagined whomever, standing there every day, jotting down the numbers, drinking coffee, contemplating nothing. Monitoring, then clocking out for the day. I half expected some horrifying face to come screaming at me from the other side of that jagged glass portal. With the storm, the setting was ripe for creepy thoughts, and there wasn’t a soul around. nobody knew I was there. Outside, on the front walkway of the power station, where I would sleep, I found aged spiral bound annual charts and log sheets from the days of Childs’ existence. 1973, 1952… Endless records of wattages and flow rates. That night, I managed to stay dry along side broke glass, and long abandoned paperwork. Somewhere in the middle of my fearful thoughts, the creaking doors, the howling chain link fence, the rain and the gusting wind, I slept well. I was having a grand adventure after all.
The morning arrived with a tinge of a common sulking sensation in my chest. My time for adventure was winding down and my path now, was focused on the return ride home to Flagstaff. As I climbed away from the river and my original plan, I was able to spy a limited view of the road that continued on the other side of the river. It disappeared up into the massive terrain the belies Bloody Basin and Phoenix beyond. The ridgelines were massive and far. I trudged on in the opposite direction in satisfying defeat. I was happy to let it go.
I climbed back out on the roads I came in on. I knew what to expect. An hour to summit just the first ridge out of Childs. Less than 2 miles of unbelievable up. The next climb, out towards Camp Verde again was another two hours easy. The journey out would take the majority of the day. Supplies on low, I pedaled towards home. Civilization slowly gained traction into the wilderness I pedaled from. I dined on a burger at a Camp Verde cafe. I made it to Montezuma’s Well by mid day, and then, the final, long, monotonous drag toward the cold of my high altitude home. I would arrive to the door I left three days prior, by day’s end, satisfied , sore, and exhausted. Full of the usual options, compromises and focus on survival, this time, my execution of ability and judgement was a little better than the last. There’s always tweaks to gear, food, supplies, timing. The devil is in the details, and from this effort, I look forward to next, as usual. | 2019-04-26T16:18:49 | http://superissimo.com/gnomes-monstercross/ |

The fatal wreck happened on November 14.
A lawsuit has been filed against the driver and the bus company, Teague VIP Express, involved in the fatal crash in Mississippi. The bus was travelling from Huntsville to Tunica, Mississippi when it crashed in severe weather, resulting in 2 deaths and 44 injuries.
The lawsuit was filed by George Nance and Hassie Nance, who are both residents of Madison County. The suit claims the driver was going too fast for the weather conditions and that the accident report showed the driver, Robin Vance, did not have a valid licence.
The Mississippi Highway Patrol would not release the completed crash report, because it contains victims' personal information. They did say the bus was not going over the posted speed limit, but was possibly going too fast for the road conditions.
The suit claims the bus had a known history of out-of-service defects. The Federal Motor Coach Association showed the company as a whole had 13 violations since February of 2017, which included problems with the steering systems of a bus. We don't know if this specific bus had violations.
Josh Wright, the attorney who filed the lawsuit, said a crash like this should never happen. He filed the suit in Alabama, he said, because nearly everyone on board the bus was from Alabama.
Wright said a commercial driver whose license is suspended should never be able to get behind the wheel and transport people. He also said it's 100 percent up to the driver to be safe in whatever the conditions are and that this didn't happen here. | 2019-04-23T07:00:27 | https://www.waaytv.com/content/news/Lawsuit-filed-against-driver-and-bus-company-involved-in-fatal-crash-in-MS-501584591.html |
Meet Daniel, the South Bay native behind M1SK and the new Hermosa Beach mural.
I was conceived on Broadway in Redondo and I remember when you could drive up the Strand on Pier Ave.
I am the founder and owner of M1SK. Our business is unique because we make apparel strictly for Southern Californians. So when we are designing something we aren’t concerned if someone from Michigan will like it.
I Feel we promote a sense of community and local pride. We recently just finished up the new mural on 13th and Hermosa.
I’ve gained 10 pounds since being at the mural site on 13th for the past two weeks drinking Hoppy giant schooners of beer at Tower 12 for the price of pint from during the hours of 3 to 4. Waterman‘s treats good as well.
M1SK’s Annual Hey Turkey Day art show of course. It’s the day before Thanksgiving and everyone comes out to look at cool stuff on the walls and while drinking local beer. The IronMan is pretty ok as well.
We’ve designed stuff for our brothers and sisters outside of the South Bay and plan to spread the good news to the greater Los Angeles area and Orange County.
It’s the best little part of this Great Big Country, my whole family lives here and I have lifelong friends here….It’s home.

Leasing is often misunderstood by drivers who haven’t been through the process. It’s a simple process that makes a lot of sense once you fully understand how it works, and it’s a great option for many drivers. Buying is easier to understand since it’s something most drivers have done in their lifetime, but the long list of benefits associated with leasing isn’t fully recognized by car owners. Before you sign on the dotted line to buy that new car, educate yourself on the many benefits of leasing vs. buying.
When you drive a new car off the lot after buying it, you don’t know what the cost of ownership might be. You’re already thousands of dollars in the hole after driving it off the lot thanks to depreciation. Now you worry about what happens when your warranties are over, and what you might have to pay out of pocket to purchase a new car when this one no longer works for you. With a lease, you know your car will always be covered under warranty because you turn it in before the warranties are up. You know you won’t be upside down when you buy a new car, and you know it won’t cost you anything else.
The only con to this is if you drive more than the allotted mileage. Most leases allow you to drive anywhere from 9,000 to 15,000 miles per year with an agreement you’ll pay approximately $.20 per mile for any additional mile. It adds up fast, and it can cost thousands of dollars when your lease is up if you exceed your mileage. This makes leasing a great option for people who don’t spend much time in their car, and it’s not a great option for drivers who do.
When you buy a car, your monthly payment is enough to equal the entire purchase price of the vehicle as well as taxes, fees, and interest. When you lease a car, your payments equal the amount of depreciation of the vehicle and little else. For example, let’s say you want to purchase a $60,000 vehicle. The monthly payment before you consider interest on your 5-year loan is already $1000 per month to purchase. If the lease offer allows you to drive away for $600 per month with excellent credit, you’re paying approximately 25% of the value of the vehicle and cutting your payment almost in half.
It’s a great way to afford a bigger and/or more expensive vehicle. The monthly payment is less, you don’t owe money on your vehicle when you turn it in, and you get to drive away without being upside down and unable to get out of your lease.
No one loves driving an old car, but everyone loves to get a new car. If you lease, you will guarantee yourself a new car every two to three years when your lease is up. This comes without the hassle of finding a new car you can afford based on how much you owe on your current vehicle. You’ll always drive a new car, and that offers substantial peace of mind.
Driving a new car that’s always under warranty is a big draw. However, it’s driving a car that’s not going to leave you in a financial bind that makes leasing a wise decision. If you keep low miles on a car, you should consider this a more viable option. | 2019-04-21T02:11:57 | https://www.zooomr.com/long-island-used-bmw-i8-for-sale/ |
