After you receive a conviction in a criminal trial, as a Florida defendant, you have 30 days to decide whether or not to file a direct appeal. If you decide that you would like to do so and have grounds for an appeal, then you will want to hire a skilled and competent Orlando appeals attorney to represent you in your case. Contact Halscott Megaro PA for the legal guidance you need!
A direct appeal is an appeal order of a three-judge court that grants or denies an injunction that can be taken directly to a higher court. In Florida, these direct appeals are filed with a district court of appeal. Normally, direct appeals are only useful if the individual who was convicted of a crime entered a plea of not guilty. In cases in which the individual entered a guilty or no contest plea, the chances for an appeal are very low. | https://www.appealslawgroup.com/appeals-attorney/direct-appeals/ | 2018-10-15T17:09:11 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |

When searching for a cheap or last-minute flight, our top places are Google Flights, Airfare Watchdog, and The Flight Deal. Read on to discover why, and get plenty of other suggestions for finding flights that won't break the bank.
Best overall: Google Flights
Google does not necessarily always have the cheapest flights, though it usually get pretty darn close. What it does do is offer travelers the best cross-section of cheap flights to specific destinations, as well as the opportunity to compare destination prices if you’re debating where you’d like to go.
Google Flights pulls from a variety of sources when assembling fares, and it does it fast. Other sites can spend a minute or more loading results, which on its face might not seem important. But flight shopping is a time consuming process, so Google’s speediness is much appreciated when it comes to overall time-saving, particularly if it’s just one of several sites you’re using to price-check (which it should be).
Speed aside, Google’s other great virtue is its “Explore” feature. Say you know you want to visit Southeast Asia, but you haven’t completely nailed down where, exactly, you’d like to go. Google allows huge amounts of flexibility when you’re in the early stages of planning a trip, letting you select entire months as a departure date and entire continents as destinations. From there, you can click around and see which cities and countries are the cheapest to fly into. It’s amazing how wildly results vary, which you might not have known had you not seen it displayed on the map. Google will suggest a list of popular destinations, but travelers can also click around the map and check out prices in real time, with readily available links to airline sites.
Keep in mind that Google does not include Southwest in its search results, so be sure to check that separately when traveling domestic (and occasionally, international).
Best for when you’re down to go anywhere: Airfare Watchdog
If your answer to the question “Where do you want to go on vacation?” is “I don’t know, where do YOU want to go?,” then Airfare Watchdog is for you. One of the site’s defining characteristics is its “Today’s Top Fares” feature, which displays, you guessed it, the top 50 cheapest fares available at any given moment. It’s also very good with comparisons, allowing you to contrast dates, departure and arrival cities and even deals from select airlines, like Southwest and JetBlue, which are often not included on other sites’ roundups.
Best for when your dates are flexible: The Flight Deal
If you have even the faintest whiff of wanderlust, stay away from The Flight Deal. You can follow it on Twitter for a constant onslaught of jaw-dropping deals, or head to the website, where you can search for flights based on your departure city. The Flight Deal will put all sorts of travel ideas in your head that you didn’t even know you had, which is terrible if you have a limited number of vacation days but great if you’re actively looking to take a trip.
To do this, the Flight Deal uses something called the ITA Software Matrix Airfare Search, an initially intimidating-looking search engine that calls for the entry of a variety of codes. Don’t be scared, though. The site not only provides the codes, but breaks down how to use them, and it’s actually not that complicated. Once you’ve identified the flight you want to take, bop on over to the airline’s website, where you can snag your absurdly cheap flight. Another major bonus is that you can build layover requests into your search, if you’re the type of voracious traveler who wants to see an extra city on your way to somewhere else.

Best app for finding cheap flights: Hopper
Hopper had already distinguished itself as one of the most reliable apps on which to track flight prices, but recently, it’s become even more handy: In May, the company announced that it would begin partnering with airlines to offer Secret Fares, driving down the price of flights by as much as 35 percent compared to similar services. Hopper says its mobile platform makes airlines more apt to drop their prices, and the logic goes that if one airline does it, others tend to follow suit. This warring over prices might not be great for carriers, but it’s definitely good for consumers, who obviously benefit from the race to price down.
Secret Fares aside, Hopper has always excelled at advising travelers when to buy tickets, which it does by collecting an enormous amount of data that it uses to examine trends over time. The app is also easy to use, with color-coded date boxes laying out an entire years’ worth of fares. A downside is that unlike with, say, Google Flights, you can’t see exact fares over the course of a month, and instead must click a specific date to see the price. Remember also that the app excludes fares from both Southwest and Delta, so it’s not entirely comprehensive.
Best email list: Scott’s Cheap Flights
Airlines screw up a lot, and when they do, Scott Keyes is on it. His email list sends subscribers multiple alerts each day, notifying aspiring vacationers about the deals he uncovers while trawling the internet for multiple hours each day. Keyes does it so you don’t have to, and his efforts always pay off. Regular subscribers can expect notifications of round-trip tickets for shockingly low rates multiple times per day, and premium subscribers ($39 per year) hear about deals even faster, as well as dirt cheap deals that disappear within hours (or minutes) of being posted. If you’re not already a subscriber, you might want to fix that now.
Best fail safe site: Momondo
Momondo has a lot going for it, though perhaps it’s most important feature is its incredible ability to turn up the cheapest fares 95 percent of the time. It pulls this off by searching nearly every airline, online travel agency (OTA) and travel booking site out there, ultimately culling information from around 600 different sources.
But not only is Momondo incredibly comprehensive, it’s also very straightforward to use. Skeptical users have the option of comparing results to those found on Priceline, Travelocity, Expedia, CheapOair and JustFly, though it’s unlikely that their results will wind up being better. Momondo itself breaks down results into useful categories: for to continue the payment process.
The downside to Momondo is it can take its sweet time loading, though perhaps while it’s doing that you can think about all the money you’re sure to save by using it.
Best airline prone to great deals: JetBlue
This depends entirely on where you plan to fly (for trips to Europe, check out Norwegian Air), but as far as domestic and some international flights to the Caribbean and Latin America go, JetBlue is hard to beat. They are also prone to having positively killer sales if you’re diligent about keeping an eye on their website or Twitter handle, @JetBlueCheeps, or make a habit of visiting their website at jetblue.com/deals. While you’re there, be sure to check out their vacation deals as well, which are often a steal.
Best site for rewards: Expedia
Expedia does an adequate job pulling flight deals, but where it really shines is its rewards program. Users earn up to four points for every dollar spent on travel (including flights, hotel stays, and car rentals), but the best part is watching the points rack up by buying those things in bundles. What’s more, Expedia allows travelers to triple-dip rewards points. Not only will you get the points from the site itself, but you’ll also get your points through your airline frequent flyer program and your credit card. Triple win!
Best site for when you also need a car or hotel: Hotwire
Oftentimes when you travel, you’re not just looking for a flight, but will need a hotel and rental car, too. Enter Hotwire. Just input your travel dates and the site will return with a single figure for your entire vacation, which eliminates a lot of the stressful guesswork and dreaded math that traveling on a budget requires. | https://www.argentinemen.com/2018/10/looking-for-cheap-flights-sites-and.html | 2018-10-15T16:43:30 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |

By Chicpaul Becerra, U.S. Army Garrison-Pohakuloa Public AffairsJuly 14, 2008
POHAKULOA TRAINING AREA, Hawaii - No one knows about fires and emergencies better than the firefighters and emergency medical technicians here.The U.S. Army recently selected Pohakuloa Training Area (PTA) Fire and Emergency Services as the Army Fire Department of the Year 2007 (small department category). "These firefighters are the best, and it's nice that (they) are recognized for the work that they do here," said Eric Moller, deputy fire chief and acting garrison fire chief, PTA Fire and Emergency Services. He said the fire department responded to 900 emergency calls last year and saved 38 lives. "PTA's Fire and Emergency Services personnel have been supporting PTA and the Big Island communities over the years, doing lots of EMS (emergency medical services) and assisting in car crashes," Moller said. "Our firefighters put a lot of effort and professionalism (in their job)." Steve Coloma, acting captain, PTA Fire and Emergency Services, amplified on the department's mission. "We do an array of fire and emergency operations - from structural fires and damages, crash fields, wildland fires, search and rescue missions, and emergency medical responses - with ambulances," Coloma said. PTA has 21 firefighters/emergency medical technicians who remain prepared for all types of responses on a daily basis. "Besides identifying daily tasks and assigned apparatus equipment, we also do a lot of mental preparations every day," Coloma said. "... We keep ourselves prepared by continuing to check our apparatus and equipment, and reviewing certain procedures based on our certification levels." Coloma also stressed physical fitness. "We do one-and-a-half hours to two hours of working out each day. We do wildland pack training, which consists of 45 minutes of activities with 45 pounds of gear on our backs." To receive the prestigious award, PTA's Fire and Emergency Services had to pass a rigorous Department of the Army-level selection board. The board was especially competitive as each of the nominations represented outstanding service and accomplishments, according to Maj. Gen. John MacDonald, deputy commanding general, Installation Management Command (IMCOM). The candidates who were selected will represent the Army before the Department of Defense (DoD) selection panel at the DoD Awards Banquet in August. Brig. Gen. Dennis Rogers, director of Operations and Facilities, IMCOM, had much praise for PTA Fire and Emergency Services in a letter addressed to Moller. "Your department's accomplishments ensure the type of service our Soldiers, civilians and their families deserve, and truly provide an organization for other Army Fire and Emergency Services departments to emulate," Rogers wrote. "The comprehensive and professional fire and emergency medical services you provide to the Army, Air Force and Marine live-fire training area on the Big Island of Hawaii is commendable. "Your department is truly top notch ... and is a key element in making (PTA) one of the Army's finest installations."

Networking integrator, NetStar, has won a $500,000 tender with NSW-based Wodonga TAFE to upgrade its PABX telephony system with a Nortel IP PBX. It would be responsible for the integration of the data network and services that would connect more than 400 staff and students, senior account manager, Hayden Dunne, said.
"We have been trying to push further into the TAFE sector and we have seen a significant amount of business in that market," he said. "This project is an integral platform for us to go forward and build on that success."
The Nortel IP telephony solution was compatible with other systems and offered additional services including instant messaging, file sharing and video conferencing, Nortel Asia-Pacific chief convergence architect, Mick Regan, said.
The system will be completely implemented by the end of October. | https://www.arnnet.com.au/article/143563/netstar_scores_new_500_000_tafe_deal/ | 2018-10-15T17:09:22 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |
From the artist: "In the early 1990’s short dumping was a fact of life in Northern Liberties. The massive Burk Brothers Tannery, which occupied the area that is now Liberty Lands, was a favorite destination for people dumping construction debris and old tires. One night our neighbor tried to chase off some dumpers and was shot at, so he decided to leave them alone. Burk Brothers had closed in the 1970s, after which a small part of the building was occupied by Discmakers, manufacturers of red vinyl records, until the mid 1990s."

Come See Us for Emergency Dentistry in Ashland
As dental professionals, let us tell you, dental emergencies happen all the time, and they are never…ever convenient. They are nearly impossible to plan for, which leaves a lot of people at a loss on what to do when something unexpected happens to their smile. While it’s nearly impossible to prevent all dental emergencies, you can be prepared when one happens. If you or a loved one find yourselves in the middle of a dental emergency, you only need to remember one thing: call Premier Care Dental.
Our entire team has literally handled hundreds of dental emergencies over the years, so whether you have suffered a knocked out tooth or damaged dental work, you can trust us to take care of you. We do our best to see emergency patients the exact same day that they call in, so if you’re in pain, we won’t leave you waiting. We’ll get you in and do whatever we can to solve your problem. If we can’t provide a permanent solution in the time we have, we’ll at least take away your pain and schedule a quick follow-up visit.
Common Dental Emergencies
The team at Premier Care Dental is ready and able to handle the following emergencies and more:
- Knocked out teeth
- Partially dislodged teeth
- Chipped, cracked, or broken teeth
- Severe toothache
- Abscessed tooth
- Damaged dental work
- Object stuck between the teeth
- Injury to the lips, gums, or jaw
- Pain or swelling in the face
If you suspect that you have broken any bones in addition to your dental injury, or if you can’t stop bleeding after 10 minutes, please head straight to your local emergency room first. Only give us a call after you have been cleared to leave. And, if you’re in any kind of pain and are uncertain whether or not your situation is an emergency, just give us a call regardless, and we’ll be happy to let you know what you should do next.
What to Do About a Knocked Out Tooth
For all of the dental emergencies listed above, you need to call us as soon as you can, but a knocked out tooth is particularly time sensitive. The following tips will make it more likely that we can replant your natural tooth:
- Try to see us a soon as possible after the tooth has been knocked out. Within two hours of the initial injury is ideal.
- When picking up a knocked out tooth, only touch the crown and never the root.
- Gently rinse it off with some warm water.
- Try to put it back into its original socket and hold it in place by keeping your mouth closed.
- If this doesn’t work, place the tooth in a container of milk or saltwater. It must stay wet until you can see us!
- Use a clean rag or gauze to control any bleeding.
- A cold compress can manage any pain or swelling on the face.
- You can also take an over-the-counter medicine to control pain, but avoid aspirin as this could actually make bleeding worse. | https://www.ashlandoregondentists.com/emergency-dentistry.html | 2018-10-15T18:09:52 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [

Amy Clements claims individual bronze to lead Britain’s women to team gold in Doha
The second IAU 50km World Championships in the Qatar capital of Doha on Friday (November 11) was a resounding success for the Great Britain teams, as the women gained gold medals and the men secured silver behind USA.
The women’s race turned out to be an exciting affair. Run in conjunction with the men’s event on an evening of 27°C with a relative humidity of 45% when the race got underway, it was difficult for the GB team managers, Walter Hill and David Lowes, to know exactly what was needed going into the final few circuits.
In a race won by Kenya’s Risper Kimaiyo in 3:22:45, Britain’s Amy Clements ran a stellar race throughout to clock 3:26:17 for third. The Briton was up to second with a lap remaining and although faltering slightly on that circuit which allowed a resurgent Nele Alder-Baerens of Germany to nudge past, it was a meritorious performance to secure a bronze medal that set up the team for their crowning glory.
She said: “The race was relentless physically and mentally to be honest, I felt good and think I paced it pretty well. My expectations coming into the race were slightly unclear, but this has given me great confidence for future races and I’m really happy to get on the podium.”
In fifth was Rebecca Hilland, who clocked 3:34:08 after a tough experience over the second half of the course with stomach problems and dizziness. Samantha Amend completed the team scoring with her seventh place finish of 3:35:36, while Hannah Oldroyd clocked 3:35:57 for eighth having ran conservatively for most of the race but finishing strongly.
In the men’s event, Andrew Davies was best of the Brits as he clocked 2:58:35 for fifth and said: “My race plan went really well and I was relying on people coming back to me. Although most did, some of the US runners were just too strong. I had a worry early in the race with a sore right Achilles, but luckily this didn’t develop into anything and I found the course and temperature to be not a problem.”
The race saw the US fill the first two spots, with Anthony Migliozzi a clear winner clocking 2:54:02 from team-mate Tyler Andrews with 2:56:04 and Zimbabwean Colleen Makaza with 2:56:58.
Behind Davies came Michael Kallenberg in sixth with 2:59:30, which improved his position and time from the previous year.
With excellent team packing, Ross Houston completed the podium trio in seventh place with 3:01:34 after a controlled race, while Stuart Robinson, although not a team counter, battled well to finish 12th in 3:13:42 despite his quads tightening which compromised his running gait in the later stages. | https://www.athleticsweekly.com/featured/gb-teams-gold-silver-iau-50km-world-championships-53488/ | 2018-10-15T17:36:21 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |

Patti is a very sweet, wonderful 3 month old kitten girl. She was born with a congenital spinal defect that causes her to be incontinent. I hate writing those words because I know they pretty much guarantee you will stop reading and move on with your day. But Patti deserves love and affection like any other kitten, and she hopes you won’t click away or pass over her story of courage.
Patti was found on the side of the road in Cedar Park, alone, with no mom cat or siblings, at only 4wks of age. She was underweight and obviously had been abandoned for some time. The person that found her brought her to TLAC where she was going to be euthanised unless APA could save her. APA’s bottle baby program stepped in and saved her life.
It was immediately discovered that something was wrong with Patti – she was dragging her right leg. Throughout the next weeks Patti would sometimes drag her legs, or do a cute little “bunny hop” to move around, but her rear end was definitely weak/damaged. X-rays were done and we found that she has a congenital defect that causes hind-end weakness and an inability to hold her stool or urine.
Despite her condition Patti is a happy, healthy kitten. She plays, loves the company of people, is sweet, friendly, gentle and affectionate. She has an upbeat disposition and doesn’t let her handicap get her down. She loves children and other cats. She has a great personality, is well-behaved, brave, takes all of this all in stride, and still plays like a happy, confident kitten! Patti is not in the least bit shy. She entertains herself by hopping around like a bunny with her toys, but prefers to play with other cats or people.
Patti’s foster can’t keep her any longer, so we need a long-term foster that can care for her until we find her forever home. The medical team is working to firm up her stool some (its a little soft) so she can wear diapers to minimize mess. Currently her foster uses puppy pee pads and wet wipes to keep her clean as well as regular bathing (she loves to play in the tub :), and makes sure she is in a confined area (a large dog crate works best) when they aren’t home.
Patti is the perfect example of the kind of animal most people say “no way, I can’t handle that”, but that APA says “yes we can save her life!” Please help us continue saving special-needs animals like Patti by stepping forward to foster or adopt her today.
Email email hidden; JavaScript is required for more information or to foster or adopt sweet little Patti!
Patti is such a sweet and wonderful girl, and I KNOW there is some special angel out there who is ready to welcome her into their home!!
Meanwhile, can any donations be made to ensure her happy and comfortable care?
I just wanted to let you know that I DID read the entire story. Unfortunately there is nothing i can do about it, because first of all, Austin is my home still, but i no longer live there, and second, my parents would probably kill me if I came home with yet another animal. But i really do have an open heart for animals that arent perfect like everyone else. They all deserve a good home; they dont deserve to be euthanized. I love what you guys do!
I will ask around to see you would be interested in helping patti who is an angel looking for love. I will pray for her and I BELEIVE she will be fostered because Austin is a town with soooo many good hearted people that someone will come forward. I have 3 dogs already but will ask around. please keep us posted on her progress and a home found for patti.
Thank you so much everyone for your kind words of support for Patti. We have found her a new foster who is picking her up this weekend! Keep your fingers crossed that everything will work out with her new foster home, and keep spreading the word to help find Patti an adopter!
Thank you!
I just wanted to tell everyone out there who might be looking for a kitten to keep an open mind and consider Patti. We rescued a small doggie and immediately realized she had excitable/submissive urination issues. We were not sure about keeping her (we had just moved into our brand new home!) but she was so sweet we decided to give her a chance. After a few months of experimenting with different diapers and ways to make her less excited/nervous (i.e. we tell all human visitors before they enter the home to not lean over her to pet her but to ignore her for a few minutes, sit down on the floor and wait for her to approach them) we came to a point where we could avoid most situations that might make her tinkle. She’s been with us for a year and a half and now we rarely have a ‘wet incident’… even though she doesn’t wear diapers any more! We now only focus on her fantastic qualities: super-smart, well behaved, loving, sweet friend to the entire family. We are now willing to take a chance again and are looking to adopt a second rescue dog! Give Patti a chance! | https://www.austinpetsalive.org/09/patti-the-kitten-needs-a-hero/ | 2018-10-15T17:39:30 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [

We’re so excited to announce an event that we’ve been planning with our new partner, CAG- Austin Subaru: Pedal for Puppies, an urban bike ride whose route is the shape of a puppy head.
The event will take place on November 13th at 8:30 am at Austin Subaru. We’ll be having a party and adoption event during and after the race.
Sign up online before or on September 30, 2010 for $25. All registrations from October 1, 2010 to October 31, 2010 will be $35. November 1st to November 13th will be $40. Anyone who registers before 11/12 receives a performance tech t-shirt (thanks to Austin Fit Magazine!) and all will be invited to share the food and drink we’re setting up for the party at Austin Subaru.
This event marks the first with a special new partner of ours, CAG – Austin Subaru. This is a long-term partnership, but they have a short-term goal this year: raise $20,000 to sponsor the Behavior Rehabilitation Center (dubbed our “naughty dog center”) at our new building.
We’re so happy that our new building is going to allow us to take on dogs we had a hard time helping in the past: non-aggressive dogs who never received training, are usually high-energy, and have found ways to amuse themselves that aren’t particularly “appropriate” (like Curly, whose idea of fun at adoption sites was jumping out of his pen and stealing purses or pulling down pants).
We’re really excited about our partnership with CAG-Austin Subaru, who is committed to helping end the needless killing of homeless dogs and cats in our community. Stay tuned for more announcements on how they are helping save Austin’s pets!
Thank you to Jack & Adams Bicycles, Austin Fit Magazine, and Austin’s Pizza for also being a part of Pedal for Puppies.
I recently bought a bike at Bicycle Sport Shop near my home. Their actual address is 9900 W. Parmer, Austin, TX 78717 and their phone # is 637-6890 – I think that they have more than one location in Austin, I think that if someone from APA! would contact them, they might let us put some marketing materials in their store – maybe a sign-up sheet for the Pedal For Puppies. Then maybe we could get more people to sign up for this event. Just a thought.
I would love to ride but I am such a novice that I don’t think I could make it the whole 25 K.
Good luck. | https://www.austinpetsalive.org/09/pedal-for-puppies/ | 2018-10-15T18:18:33 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |
5/29/2018 8:26 est Filed to: Porsche Accidents By: Bradley Brownell Comment Dashcam footage out of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia yesterday shows a careless driver in a Malaysian-built Proton weaving through traffic at breakneck speeds ultimately ending with the passing car smashing into the race-inspired Porsche and both cars ending up in the barrier. It's clear to see what the driver of the Proton was attempting to do here, but it was an utter failure in the long run. From the perspective of the camera car, they'd come up from the left hand lane behind the GT3 RS, and attempted to pass the Porsche (in the slow lane) by shifting over to the right one lane, directly in front of the camera car. At the same time, a fourth car was entering that lane from further right, closing down two lanes in short order. While I don't really know Malaysian traffic laws, I'm forced to assume the Proton driver will be the one charged at fault. According to Carscoops.com, the driver of the Proton does not … [Read more...] about Porsche 991 GT3 RS Taken Out By Weaving Proton Driver

2019 Porsche 911 GT3 RS Track Test Review: The indomitable track rat
Mark Webber is sitting across from me in the driver's seat of a new Porsche 911 GT3 RS, trademark grin wide on his semi-bearded face. "Good, right?" Webber had been at the Nurburgring the week before when Lars Kern set a new record at the Nordschleife for naturally-aspirated production cars, breaking the notorious seven minute mark and coming in at 6:56.4. So, yeah, it's good. I had just got a full-on taste of the car for myself at the Nurburgring Grand Prix course, circling the 3.1-mile circuit a dozen times. My blood was already up, and then I asked F1 and Le Mans champ Webber to take me around in a "Lizard green" Weissach model. Two incredibly swift laps — in a light rain — and then we pull back into the pits. Heat radiates off the Michelin Cup 2 tires and the titanium rear pipes glow despite the 45 degree temps and light rain in the Eiffel mountains. "The car just gives you such confidence," Webber is saying, "whether you're a weekend warrior or one of us." By one … [Read more...] about 2019 Porsche 911 GT3 RS Track Test Review: The indomitable track rat
Porsche 911 GT3 RS: Driven
Er, yeah, so, spoiler alert: it's quite good. The new Porsche 911 GT3 RS, of second-gen 991 generation, is here. And it'll stay here until the next-generation 911 (the 992) knocks the current 911 out of production next year. The accessibility stuff first: it's £141,346 and not strictly limited in numbers, per se, but you'll know how it is if you've tried to get one: there won't be enough. There's a Weissach Pack (28kg lighter) coming later too. Production is limited by supplier deals and how many Porsche can squeeze down the line while fulfilling other 911 orders, plus the fact that its emissions mean it's homologated for 1,000 units in the EU this year (registered before September), before it'll have to be fitted with a petrol particulate filter (which later on it will be). Right. That sorted, now the interesting bits. The GT3 RS is, in a way, a GT2 RS but with a naturally-aspirated motor. Suspension is, like the 2, rose/heim/rod end bearing jointed, for immense precision. The … [Read more...] about Porsche 911 GT3 RS: Driven
Porsche 911 GT3 RS Clocks 6:56.4 on the Nurburgring Nordschleife
The 991.2 Porsche 11 GT3 RS made its debut barely a month ago and already, the track beast has set a lap time of 6:56.4 on the Nürburgring Nordschleife.The GT3 RS is one of only three production sports cars from Porsche to lap the ‘Ring in under seven minutes. The 918 Spyder recorded a time of 6:57 back in 2013, and the 911 GT2 RS became the quickest production car to hit the Nürburgring by achieving a time of 6:47.03 last year.Porsche works race driver Kévin Estre piloted the GT3 RS to its impressive new lap time. The car came in 24 seconds quicker around the ‘Ring than its predecessor.Packing a 4.0-liter flat-six, the GT3 RS makes 520 hp and 346 lb-ft of torque. It’s paired exclusively to a seven-speed PDK dual-clutch automatic, and according to Porsche, can hit 60 mph in just 3.0 seconds. Top speed is 193 mph.The GT3 RS borrows its aero and lightweighting technologies from the standard GT3 while also tacking on a magnesium roof and … [Read more...] about Porsche 911 GT3 RS Clocks 6:56.4 on the Nurburgring Nordschleife

Former IndyCar racer Martin Plowman tested a Power Maxed Racing Vauxhall Astra at Donington Park last week.
The former single-seater man, who has raced most recently in the British GT Championship, sampled the two-litre turbocharged car on Thursday, and he was joined on track by former championship runner-up Sam Tordoff. Tordoff had sampled an AmD Tuning Audi S3 earlier in the week.
Plowman, 30, said: "I'm surprised by how easy I found the transition from a rear-wheel-drive GT car to a front wheel drive touring car: I expected it to be a bigger challenge.
"Essentially the fundamentals of racing and driving fast are the same leaving fewer nuances to master.
"The main difference is the amount of rotation needed into the corner, I had to rotate the touring car more and square the corner off, and then be more patient on the power.
"What I noticed is how the BTCC car can take kerbs: it's like they don't exist."
Plowman is thought to be looking at a switch to the BTCC series in the future, while Tordoff has sampled a couple of cars as he evaluates his 2018 options.
Tordoff, the 2016 BTCC runner-up, said: "I was impressed with the Power Maxed Racing team and the car - it is a hungry up-and-coming team and there is a desire to perform there.
."
Power Maxed Racing, which ran Tom Chilton and Jack Sears Trophy winner Senna Proctor in 2017, has yet to reveal its driver line-up for next season.

Predict future developments at an early stage and identify meaningful patterns
The importance and amount of data has increased significantly over the past years. One of the biggest challenges in the automotive industry is the intelligent evaluation and use of large amounts of data.
Analytical approaches are taking an increasingly important role in making decisions to improve forecast accuracy. In addition, due to the current discrepancy between planned and additional costs, there is a need for optimization in the planning process.
Predictive analytics is a comprehensive analysis of historical data that examines “what is likely to happen.” Algorithms are used to predict further development. For example, customer behavior and possible sales per customer can be forecasted and direct measures can be made.
The interplay of different analytics tools enables the prediction of future developments. In this way, for example, an expensive assembly breakdown can be anticipated and prevented with countermeasures. In addition, the focus is on the processing and integration of data from different business areas, since only a holistic view reveals the cross-links between individual areas. For example, after-sales data can be used to identify the wear of components and eliminate weak points in product development.
The classical data analysis is complemented by the prediction of events. On this basis, future developments can be identified at an early stage, and meaningful patterns and dependencies can be identified quickly and easily. Predictive Analytics already represents a decisive competitive advantage for experts.
Typical challenges in predictive analytics are:
BearingPoint has already successfully completed numerous predictive analytics projects and has extensive process and implementation experience in the automotive industry.
An overview of the large flow of data is necessary. For an effective evaluation and use of the data, clear visualization and preparation is paramount.
With the help of visual analytics, business users can extract knowledge from data and intuitively discover trends and developments. The aim of visual analytics methods is to gain insights from extremely large and complex data sets and to make them easily understandable. The approach combines the strengths of automatic data analysis with human abilities to quickly capture patterns or trends visually. For example, within the framework of warranty management, possible causes of engine damage per series can be processed using the visual analytics tools. The visualization provides deeper insights and new findings in cause analysis to develop the fastest possible countermeasures.
The visualization of large amounts of data provides unexpected insights and the following advantages:
The next step in data and analytics is the opening of data science methods for the business user. Many analytics tools have developed a very high level of maturity with immense automation. This also allows untrained users without any IT knowledge, such as engineers or a parts list manager, to independently design ad hoc analyses and experiments. In addition to self-service BI, where own reports can be created, statistical models are used in self-service analytics to identify new patterns. This democratization will make it possible to rapidly react to changes in priorities. For repetitive tasks, business users can flexibly reshape certain data and find quick answers to questions.

I've had a couple of these for a year now and many externals before. No failures. As someone who's worked at a large chain store (not this one) its worth remembering that how the store unloads stock can effect the device. The store i worked at didn't have pallets in the semi and everything was unloaded by hand with a few exceptions. A lot of tossing of merchandise was a normal occurrence. Needless to say i never buy electronics there. Think about this before you slag some device manufacturer.
This is the 2nd time I’ve bought a Seagate product. Both have been a big disappointment. This 8TB one lasted less than 5 months, and all my backed up data is now inaccessible. NEVER AGAIN will I get Seagate.
Have about eight of these, put all my media onto it for Plex that my family and I use.
Never had an issue, works flawlessly.
I had bought two of these over a period of 1 year, and the first one had read/write errors while copying files, the second one was a complete and utter waste. Died on me on 3rd day of use (had the ticking sound).
Further more for their warranty does not support data recovery or one way shipping, you have to pay for everything to utilize the warranty. They only send you a new drive.
This drive also goes on SALE during various times in the year, do not buy it regardless. They have a high failure rate that's why they go on sale, no one who has dealt with Seagate product buys another.
The parts are made and assembled in China and Thailand.
If you are a PS4 user looking to expand your storage, please don't buy this drive. Apparently the maximum capacity drive you can use with a PS4 is 8TB, but for some reason, when you plug this into your PS4, it will display as 8.01TB, and will refuse to be formatted. Stay away from this one.
BF Sale excellent transfer speed 90-160 MB/s
Best HD I had
I have a few external HD's now and this is the first product I bought from Seagate and to be frank I'm disappointed. First time trying to save a large directory (over 8 GB of data) the drive crashed on me. After multiple tries of trying to fix it (via recommended instructions from Seagate website) I finally got frustrated and have now sent it back to Seagate to get a replacement via their 2 year warranty. We'll see how this replacement does, but I probably won't be buying another Seagate product.
An absolute waste of money. I've owned several hard drives and this is unquestionably the worst I've ever owned. You're better off spending the money on a paperweight that actually actually looks nice rather than this hunk of plastic.
I can't stress it any more, do NOT buy this drive.
Slower to write to than a USB drive. Average write is 24MB/s far below what the drive should be capable of. If it's storage you want, then this works well - if you want to wait for hours and hours to transfer wiles - this is great too - but if you need files from this drive on a regular basis - skip it and go for another drive.
Good Drive. Slow transfer speeds caused by USB cable supplied. Replaced from another device and transfer speeds shot up to 90+ MBs. Cable is funny one with regular USB at one end and double head at the other
I got 3 drives and after copying 2tb I read it back, lost files, cannot read, system freezes. Tried diagnostics, found errors. Copy files onto second drive, and similar story, lost files, errors. SMART reports uncorrectable errors. I'm not sure about the 3rd drive. I'm really disappointed. Speed is good, but once you write to it, you should double check if data is there. The system is self repairing, but if data is lost it cannot recover.
This computer is terrible the only reason my rating is high is because they are watching. there is something wrong with this computer please don't get it you will be in serious danger. Just remember if you get this computer just please please be careful. I think they are coming for me I haven't slept in days I need help please don't get this computer. I am in danger I beg of you use this to decide against this computer there is something wrong with it They know where I am but it's not to late for you please pick any other computer or better yet a different site. It's not to late.
I've only had this for a day but very happy with it so far. Hits peak write speeds of 190mb/sec and runs quite cool - Max 47 C.
My HD utility says it has a Barracuda drive inside (not the expected Archive) with 4 platters. Very impressive!
If you buy this on sale you should be very happy with it. I've owned lots of hard drives over the last 20 years and surprisingly the only 2 that have failed were WD Green 2TB drives.
I have now tried two of these with a Mac. Both instantly became unreadable after following the directions precisely on how to reformat for Mac use.
Literally just bought this drive on VIP Thursday (Black Friday Sale Price). So far no problems however, while transferring data on windows 10 using USB 3.0, I only got a max rate of 30 MB/sec so, I tried it on my Windows 7 and got a max rate of 145-55 MB/sec, the problem is not the hard drive, but my PC. Good value for the price so far...
It's on sale now from November 23 to 30 for 179.99 (good deal) and it says there there is a household limit of 5 in this advertisement. Well I went to the store today (Nov 23) and they would only sell me one only. Not only that, you can't go to the store shelves and pick one up, you have to go to the cashier and they go to this locked cabinet at the front of the store and pull one out. The manager said it says limit of one on the fine print of the the flyer, but I just got the Black Friday flyer from the store today and nowhere does it list the Seagate Drive on the flyer. So anyways, the store is the one on the Hamilton Mountain in Ontario off of Stone Church Road. I just had to write this review to call out the store BS because it's ridiculous how they lied and wasted my time.
The Dashbord to be downloaded from Seagate does not work. I have attempted to download the Mircosoft VC Redirect 2010 SP1 (x86) software (which one need to operate a Seagate Dashboard) only to discover that it works only for XP and Windows 7.0 All attempts were NIL for windows 10. Then I discovered that in Windows 10 one can go into settings and there one can program Windows 10 to automatically make back-ups for different Back-up drives. I am very disappointed (I lost a lot of time figuring out why the Dasboard does not work). On one of the Seagate Screens they say that the Dashbord for Windows 10 is under construction and that one should check later. The one for Mac exists. Hard to understand the Strategy of Seagate to let down their Windows based customers.
Just bought my second Seagate 8TB ext drive/hub; have had the first for 3-4 months, can't really say about long term durability yet; don't use the drives every day. Plugged the drive into the computer and immediately copied several directories with about 80GB of data to the external drive. Started at a transfer rate of about 45 MB/sec, then increased over the first 30 seconds up to 80-90 MB/sec and from there on fluctuated between 80 to 136 MB/sec. A second transfer of about 4.6 GB had a consistent transfer rate of 120 MB/sec. This is very similar performance to what I get on my WD MyBook external drives.
I have seen several reviewers complain that this drive is slow; this has NOT been my experience! It is important to remember that USB 3.0 seems to be a cranky kind of a data transfer standard, and that transfer rates vary depending on the size and type of file! I find that with large numbers of small files such as image files about 1 MB or smaller, the transfer rate will slow right down, occasionally into the single digit range, and that the transfer speed seems to be faster with larger image files such as DSLR RAW files or movie files. I have seen this happen with the WD MyBook drives as well, so it's not unique to Seagate.
This drive has an indicator light (the new WD 8TB MyBook does NOT have one), but it is of limited use; the light level fluctuates slowly bright/dim during data transfers, remains on constantly when the drive is active but not transferring data, and shuts off when the unit goes into sleep mode.
The only cons I can see with this drive are:
1 - Not really an 8 TB drive. Under "properties" in windows, it only lists the capacity as 7.27 TB, which is significantly less than advertised. This is actually the same as my WD Mybook 8TB drive; its capacity also reads in windows as 7.27 TB, so not unique to Seagate.
2 - One other reviewer mentioned the case design; it is very narrow and therefore a little unstable and prone to falling over.
Overall, a pretty good drive so far; if it lasts as well as my WD drives it will be an excellent value for money.
I bought 2 of these, one worked fine, the other one gives me constant CRC errors and runs ridiculously slow. I tried to copy 4tb worth of files from my old drive into the new one and Windows estimates it will take about 50.3 days to complete the job.
Have never had any problems with Seagate hard drives. Used them the last 15 years or so.
Bought this about 5 months ago and now the hard drive is dead.
I got this during Boxing Day sales, totally worth it! It has been running for 2 months or so running 24/7 attached to my NAS server and there have been no issues.
i plugged it in and a few seconds later it connected....the speed is very good and its very quiet....got it on sale which is better
Nothing of merit to note - it functions well, quick reads but slow writes (normal for an SMR drive). I use it as a media backup so it definitely serves it's purpose. The hub is attractive and the soft-white logo is not too bright or distracting. I would purchase another without question. Especially good based on the Boxing Day sale price I paid (lowest I'd ever seen for 8TB).
For the price I paid, one hundred forty off regular price, very good value for money.
This hard drive has a lot of storage space with a very very very slow transfer speed. The speed is less than 30 Mbps. It is unbelievable slow for an USB 3 hard drive.If you don't mind the slow speed it will be OK. I am very upset with the slow speed so that I return it to Best buy. I give it three stars. One star is for Best buy good return policy. Thank you Best buy.
I used this in a NAS server. I connected it to the USB3 port on my ZOTAC CI320. This is fully compatible with ntfs-3g and I am also using NFS & Samba to share this drive. Please note that this drive uses shingled magnetic recording (SMR), Over gigabit I consistently got 31MB/s writing to the drive. I did not reformat the drive as ext4 instead I used the default ntfs pre-formatted file system since I was uncertain if Linux could create a 8TB partition and format it. I'm pretty sure nothing bad will happen ....
I can't comment on it's reliability yet. Since I only got it for a week at the time of writing this review. But I already filled it up with my backups.
Transfer speeds ranges depending on which USB port I connect it to. If I connect to a USB2 port, i get around 20-30MB/s. If I connect it to a USB3 port, I get around 70-85MB/s.
It does its job well (so far) which is backing up my data.
So far, all 5 drives are functioning fine. The design of the case is very poor as the rubber feet suggest you should stand the drive upright as shown in the picture - however if the drive tips over while powered on, expect it to live a very short life. Lay the drive on it's side or use it internally.
If you buy this drive, be very gentle with it or risk it failing.
This HDD actually has around 7.27 TB, pretty far from 8.0. I expected around 7.5-7.7 but to have almost a whole TB less than advertised is pretty dumb.
Also, the transfer speed is very slow compared to other devices with 3.0 connection; I get less than 30 MB per second... horrible for something as large scale as 8 TB. I had almost 100 MB/s on my last 3 TB HDD and need to upgrade because of storage requirements. Anyways, in summary, the storage is good if you KNOW you're getting 7.27 TB and less than 30 MB/s transfer speed.
Pro:
I like the hub idea, and this has a lot of storage.
Con:
It is slow.
Also, it is very unreliable. After 2 weeks, the transfer speed dropped significantly, and files starts to disappear.
Seagate tends to fail quite often for me, so I think I will go with other brands from now on.
As I own over 12 various external hard drives, I must say this is the best one so far. Quick and easy to use with no issues.
Amazing how the online store suddenly has stock on these only a day after being sold out from the Boxing Day sale.
I got one in November, and initially, I like the size it held, and the hub feature was a nice touch. The only downside was the slow transfer speed, but overall, I was happy with it.
Then, less than a week latter, the transfer speed dropped significantly. I try it on 2 computers, and it is the same. A day or two latter, files I had put in there disappeared, and I cannot find them at all.
Luckily, it all happened within 30 days, so I was able to return it for a full refund, but I probably will stay away from Seagate from now on, as I have a 1 in 4 success ratio with the company.
Bought the original 8 TB Seagate Backup Plus drive in September and started backing up my PC files and then tried working with my wife's MacBook. Made the drive inaccessible to both file systems after extensive back and forth with Seagate Tech support, it was finally decided to send it back for repair. Got the new drive in about 10 days.
What I like most about it is the two USB ports on the drive...I can plug in my little WD Passport drive and copy files at the same time. It's almost like the old SCSI daisy chain without the hassle.
Super fast and massive storage for all my children's old videos and pictures. So good I bought a second one for my wife's MacBook (only 4 TB though). Formatted for HFS and so far so good!
I bought several of these (6) 8 TB USB hard drives a month ago. Two have already failed. They die without warning, give a code 43, and will not reconnect with your computer.
If you buy this model, you can expect it to fail at any time.
I have had (and still have them) several Western Digital hard drives through the years, and none of them have ever failed me. I will never buy another Seagate external hard drive.
I don't care about Cloud and I don't use it but this item is great as a backup drive. No fuss to install and no fuss to backup. Simple, quick and easy and 8 TB at a great price (well bought it on Black Friday so got a great deal).
It only has 7.2 tb....
I've been running this for a week or two. Huge amounts of space and running quickly and bug free so far. Very happy with the purchase so far!
Had this HDD for two weeks and it died on me. Would not recommend this HDD to anyone.". | https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product/seagate-seagate-backup-plus-hub-8tb-3-5-usb-3-0-external-desktop-hard-drive-stel8000100-stel8000100/10453010.aspx? | 2018-10-15T17:34:55 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |

I’m so happy to have Brandi from Yee Wittle Things here today to share about some of her favourite holiday memories, traditions, and activities. Yee Wittle Things is a well-loved Canadian lifestyle blog covering recipes, family-friendly reviews, giveaway and more. If you’re looking for the scoop on the latest product or a scrumptious new recipe, you’re definitely going to want to follow her for inspiration!
Thank you so much Brandi for taking the time to answer some questions about how you celebrate the holidays at home with your family. I’m so happy to get to know you more today and appreciate you sharing about yourself with our readers.
Let’s get right into it!
The holidays are such a wonderful time of year, do you have a special Christmas memory that stands out?
Every Christmas seems to have presented itself with a new special memory, but I do take comfort in the extra special memories that included my grandparents being a part of the Christmas holidays when they were still with us. I wish my kids could have experienced those same memories with them.
What holiday traditions does your family have?
We decorate the tree and the house together, do Christmas baking together, watch the Santa Claus Parade, enjoy the Holiday Train passing through and take a drive along the festival of lights in a neighbouring city each year. We also have wooden Advent calendar that we open each day leading up to Christmas. The best tradition though? My dad dressing up as Santa and visiting the kids at our house before Christmas Day each year. It’s a memory they will always cherish as they get older.
In your opinion, what is the true meaning of Christmas?
Without a doubt, the true meaning of Christmas for us is family. Being around loved ones to celebrate and come together during a time that is so festive and full of cheer before the year ends and a new year begins.
Do you host during the holidays?
It is tradition that we spend Christmas at my parents each year. My mom is an amazing host and takes pride in her cooking (which she is equally amazing at!). She always makes sure there is a goodie tray full of her best baked goods to snack on, as well as the mandatory shrimp ring (we LOVE shrimp) and other finger foods, leading up to the big dinner. Lots of snacks, beverages and festive decorations make for a great hosted holiday.
What are your favourite kinds of gifts to give?
I love to give gifts that I have heard someone casually mention throughout the year – something that someone really wants, but doesn’t necessarily want to buy themselves or have the means to buy. I really try to match the gifts to their individual personality. I also love quirky gifts!
How would you describe your holiday decor style?
Traditional. I love warmth and comfort during the holidays, as well as nostalgia. There is no doubt that my holiday décor style reflects that. A mix of things new and passed down. I like my holiday décor to evoke happy memories of past holidays spent with loved ones who are no longer with us.
And what about wrapping? Do you go all out, or grab the cutest gift bag and you’re done?
I like to mix up the wrapping paper I use. I try to take my time to wrap gifts neatly and with thought. That doesn’t always fare so well for me when wrapping odd-shaped gifts though! A gift tag and a bow always adorn the top. Rarely do I use gift bags and tissue paper for holiday gifts. I usually reserve that for those odd-shaped gifts I can’t seem to wrap perfectly!
You’re such an amazing cook and baker (check out her recipes!) – I’ve got to ask, do you like to bake during the holidays?
I LOVE baking during the holidays. I love baking in general, so I get really excited to get my holiday baking started each year. I like making a variety of different things like chocolate cherry thumbprint cookies, gingerbread cookies, lemon loaf, shortbread, chocolate chowmein clusters, and many more. I don’t think there is a baked good I don’t like, so I like a variety!
Are there any holiday activities that you and your family love to do?
We love the traditional activities such as tobagganing, making snowmen, snow angels, driving and walking around to view the festive lights, writing letters to Santa, and listening to holiday music just to name a few.
Lastly, what are five items on your Christmas wish list this year?
I don’t really ask for anything to be honest. I am not really someone who “wants” things, as I am the type of person who prefers and LOVES to watch others receive gifts. I love the act of gift-giving more than gift-receiving. As cheesy as it sounds to say, I can’t really think of 5 things that I want on my wish list. Seeing my family happy is the best gift for me of all.
You can connect with Brandi Yee on her blog, Yee Wittle Things and across social media on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
Girl, I’m bookmarking the recipe for your Chocolate Cherry Thumbing Cookies asap! They look sooooo good. I love how you described your holiday decor style, I can definitely relate to having a more traditional, nostalgic decor style. I love opening up our ornament boxes and pulling out all the gems each year – some older than me! Thank you for sharing some of your favourite things about the holidays with us today. xx, Emily

New Zealand vs. England series-decider ODI betting
Fifth ODI – 10:30am local time on Saturday, June 20, 2015 at the Riverside Ground, Chester-le-Street
England – $2.00 at
New Zealand – $1.90 at Crownbet.com
SINCE when was England and New Zealand a recipe for some of the most scintillating one-day cricket in recent memory?
This series was supposed to confirm the Kiwis’ rise to the big leagues while the host side simply tried to avoid the kind of embarrassment they suffered at the 2015 ICC Cricket World Cup.
But the Brits haven’t been scrappy, or battling, or doggedly competitive. They’ve been downright good to watch..
It was England’s highest-ever successful run chase in One Day Internationals, and it puts them in a strong position to win their first home series in three years.
Results aside, it’s the fearless, daring brand of cricket on display that has English fans most excited. They have now scored 300+ in four consecutive games – something they had never done before this series – and each of their top seven batsmen is striking at better than 95 runs per 100 balls faced.
Although a few of the same names are there, this side as a whole is unrecognisable from the one which failed to even scare the knockout rounds of the World Cup a few months ago.
Former England spinner Graeme Swann had special praise for the captain, Morgan, who came out of CWC 2015 under enormous pressure after managing just 90 runs in five outings.
“I don’t believe I’ve just seen that. Even the staunchest England fans wouldn’t have given them much hope there,” Swann said on BBC’s Test Match Special after the game.
“Eoin Morgan has gone through hell in the last year with the bat, and bounced back incredibly well. Joe Root has been overshadowed by him, yet he’s scored an unbeaten century at more than a run a ball.
“England haven’t been ahead of the game in one-day cricket for a long time, but they’ve taken stock and aped New Zealand completely.”
Nevertheless, most online bookmakers have New Zealand ($1.90 at CrownBet) as the slight favourites to bounce back in Durham this weekend and clinch what has been a breathtaking ODI series.
It’s hard to bet against the World Cup finalists, whose burgeoning talent base and devil-may-care approach has seen them become every neutral’s second-favourite team over the past year or so.
There’s very little wrong in the batting department. Even though the likes of Brendon McCullum, Martin Guptill and Grant Elliott weren’t at their fluid best in Nottingham, only one player (Luke Ronchi) in the Black Caps’ top seven failed to pass 35 runs in what would usually be considered a very healthy total of 7/349.
But the Kiwis have definitely felt the absence of star left-arm quick Trent Boult, who was ruled out of the series with a back injury after pulling up sore from the win at Kennington Oval last week.
Having watched every one of his bowlers concede at least seven runs per over in match four, New Zealand head coach Mike Hesson admitted his attack would have to be much more focused if they wished to turn the tables on Saturday.
“You’ve got to take wickets or create pressure – or ultimately you do both,” Hesson told the press after Wednesday’s loss.
“We struggled to create a succession of dot balls. We struggled to create a succession of overs that didn’t go for boundaries.
“We were both full and short, it wasn’t just one. It’s quite a young bowling attack in many ways and it was a good lesson for us.”
England and NZ ODI squads
England: Eoin Morgan (C), Sam Billings, Jos Buttler, Steven Finn, Alex Hales, Craig Overton, Jamie Overton, Adil Rashid, Joe Root, Jason Roy, Ben Stokes, James Taylor, David Willey, Mark Wood
New Zealand: Brendon McCullum (C), Grant Elliott, Martin Guptill, Matt Henry, Andrew Mathieson, Mitchell McClenaghan, Nathan McCullum, Luke Ronchi, Mitchell Santner, Tim Southee, Ross Taylor, Ben Wheeler, Kane Williamson
Match predictions
Result – England to win ($2.00 at Sportsbet)
Highest first 15 overs – England ($2.03 at)
Highest opening partnership – England ($2.00 at Luxbet.com)
Even with the home side high on confidence, most online sportsbooks have the Kiwis as slender favourites in the key ODI match betting markets. While the neutrals will surely be rooting for the visitors, we reckon England is every chance to keep the good times rolling at Chester-le-Street.
Although the prices are pretty tight across the board, there is a little bit of value to be had in the first innings batting odds. Hales and Roy have at least matched McCullum and Guptill as an opening pair thus far, so anything over $2 for the England duo to outscore their Kiwi counterparts is well worth a punt.
ENG vs NZ best batsman odds
England – Eoin Morgan ($4.75 at)
With consecutive scores of 50, 88, 71 and 113 this series, the Irish-born skipper epitomises England’s remarkable turnaround since that disastrous 2015 World Cup. In this kind of touch, he’s one of the most dangerous batsmen in world cricket.
New Zealand – Kane Williamson ($3.85 at William Hill)
At just 24 years of age, Williamson is already the cornerstone of this emerging New Zealand team. The Kiwi number three has posted two 90s and a century in the last three games, so you can’t look past him on pure form.
Value bets for top team bowler
England – Ben Stokes ($5.00 at)
Although still finding his feet in international cricket, Stokes is already being pegged as the man to pick up where Andrew Flintoff left off. Six wickets in the last three games makes him one of England’s most consistent contributors with the ball in hand.
New Zealand – Tim Southee ($3.75 at Sportsbet.com)
With Boult, Adam Milne and Corey Anderson all out injured, 26-year-old Southee is the old hand in a very green Black Caps attacks. His form has been scratchy in 2015, but figures of 3/44 in the third ODI at Southampton showed that he’s still a real threat against the top and the tail alike.

Synthetic Bacteria Drive New Ingestible Gut Sensor
What would you be willing to swallow?” The researchers at MIT.
The entire device sits in a capsule-shaped cylinder about 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) long. The prototype device was equipped with a 2.7-volt battery that is estimated to offer 1.5 months use.
Initial tests found the device accurately detected the presence of blood in the stomach of pigs, and the researchers have already developed two more bacterial sensors pointing to other potential future diagnostic uses.
This sensor will be eventually used in lieu of colonoscopies, allowing patients to simply swallow a large pill for a day (and, yes, then excrete it) to monitor the health of their GI tract.
It would be interesting to see how it will reduce the size of the capsule sensor and examine how long these engineered bacterial cells can survive.

Aston Villa's signing of John Terry last summer raised a few eyebrows.
The decorated former Chelsea and England skipper was signed up by Steve Bruce to add steel and experience to the Villa defence.
Terry turned 37 in December and rumours are rife that he could return to Villa as assistant to managerial favourite Thierry Henry.
Here's what his managers had to say about him:
Claudio Ranieri
Claudio Ranieri was Chelsea manager whilst Terry was breaking through to the first team between 2000 and 2004.
"At this moment John is the captain when Marcel Desailly is not around, and for me it was an easy decision even though he is so young."
"He is a leader - a leader inside. John may be young but he can transmit something from inside.
"This is a quality of character that is only in some players, not all.
"Some men just have this ability to deal with the responsibility - and in my opinion John is one of them."
"He is the iron man - and I've said before that he can be for Chelsea what Tony Adams was for Arsenal.
Avram Grant
Following Mourinho's first spell in charge, Avram Grant became Chelsea manager from September 2007 until May 2008.
"John likes to fight and he's very passionate about the national team...but he's not a child, he knows what he's doing."
"He was great all season.
"He respects everybody, he's good with people"
Luiz Felipe Scolari
Luiz Felipe Scolari was Chelsea manager between July 2008 and February 2009.
"He is a good player, he is a captain and he is a man who can sometimes change the game on the pitch, because he is a strong man."
'John is captain and he is a very good player.
"For John Terry, dying on the field would be glory. You would need to kill him and maybe even then he would still play.
"I was supportive of him (Terry), of course. And I am sure two or three other players could say the same."
Carlo Ancelotti
Carlo Ancelotti was Chelsea manager from June 2009 until May 2011.
.
"There is no room for second place; there can only be room for us."
Andre Villas-Boas
Andre Villas-Boas was Chelsea manager between June 2011 and March 2012.
"He has grown in terms of performance. He's a reference point for this team. It shows his character and strength and personality – his effort for the collective is extraordinary.
"He is a fantastic player, his talent and commitment are never in doubt.
"John's condition is fantastic and we have seen great, great performances from him.
"His level of performance has increased. His commitment and concentration has increased as well."
Roberto Di Matteo
Roberto Di Matteo led Chelsea to Champions League Glory before losing his job in November 2012.
“JT is a fantastic player for this club and our team, he has got many qualities"
“He was a leader in the dressing room, he was the reference point for many players, especially many new players. He represented the true feelings of Chelsea.
"It's going to take a bit of time for somebody to step in and take that kind of role.
"I'm not sure if ever somebody will be able to do so, but certainly taking on the captaincy role and being that important for the team.”
Rafael Benitez
Rafael Benitez managed Chelsea between November 2012 and May 2013.
"He's a good professional, a good player and doing well and he's working hard. I cannot do anything else, just bring the best from him."
Jose Mourinho
Jose Mourinho's second spell as Chelsea manager began in June 2013 and lasted until December 2015.
"When I came, I came with that question mark: "Which John am I going to find? What can he do? Can he improve? Can he become close to the John I know?"
"And last season was phenomenal. Phenomenal. I think the best season.
"Certainly a couple of years ago, he disappeared. A couple of injuries, one or two managers that stopped believing in him at the club, bringing in other defenders that they thought would be John's replacement.
"And especially in the season before I came, which was Rafael Benitez's season, I thought "this guy's finished" because he's not playing finals, he's not playing in big matches. I thought he was in trouble.
"His career was a bit up and down and he was not playing regularly. In the last two years, he is playing every game and in the standard he was playing from 2004-07.
“What is the difference? His happiness, when you are happy and feel confident it is easier. I think he knows the way I trust him. I think he feels very confident, very happy and is playing very well.
“Only very few people can play 100 games in the Champions League for the same club. He may not have been captain in all those games, but surely in most of them.
"He’s an historic player and will go down in the history of the club.”
Guus Hiddink
Guus Hiddink was Chelsea manager from December 2015 until July 2016.
.”
“John is one of the key players: he has been one of the key players, and is still.”
Antonio Conte
John Terry played under the current Chelsea manager, Antonio Conte, for one season.
“Last season he was incredible, He didn’t play a lot but his commitment was incredible."
“He helped me a lot in the changing room and used the right words in the right moment.
“For sure with Terry, we are talking about a player with a great experience.
"For us it was a big loss. I tried to keep him for another season but he wanted to play more.
“I understood this and I wish to him the best for him and his family."
Steve Bruce
Steve Bruce brought Terry to Aston Villa on a free transfer in July 2017.
"John Terry is a natural leader of men on and off the pitch. He is a wonderful footballer but what he has brought to the dressing room is important.
"He knows what it is like to play at the top level.
"The youngsters can learn from him, Glenn Whelan and Mile Jedinak.
"He still trains and looks after himself.
“That’s the reason why he is playing at the level he is.
“John doesn't drink any more, he has his own dietitian. He still has that pride." | https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/john-terry-aston-villa-avfc-14531431 | 2018-10-15T17:15:23 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [

Caretaker manager Craig Madden has ruled himself out of the running to become Micky Mellon's permanent successor at Fleetwood.
Mellon was unexpectedly sacked on Saturday evening following the Cod Army's FA Cup exit at the hands of Aldershot, their third successive defeat in all competitions, although they remain seventh in npower League Two.
Formerly Mellon's number two, Madden is preparing the squad for Saturday's home game with Southend and, despite encouraging words from chairman Andy Pilley, he is accepting no assurances over his future.
"The chairman has said he doesn't want me to go and is happy with the backroom staff, but we'll have to see what happens," he told the Blackpool Gazette. "A new manager may very well want to bring in his own number two.
"We had a meeting with the chairman on Monday and he told us that people have applied already.
"He told us there is no timeframe. He will sift through the applications and will take his time. He said he would keep us up to speed. I wasn't tempted. Being a manager isn't me and I'm happy to concentrate on the coaching side.
"It was made clear at the meeting that somebody new is going to come in and I honestly hadn't thought about going for it myself."
Madden revealed Mellon's departure had unsettled members of the playing staff.
He added: "I think it came as a shock to everyone. The lads were very flat, which wasn't a surprise because some of them had worked with Micky since the Blue Square North days. Some of the lads who have played at a higher level have seen all this before but it's never nice." | https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/national-sport/being-a-manager-isnt-me-says-354819 | 2018-10-15T18:09:28 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |

How To Do Competitor Analysis?
Market analysis and competitor analysis is very important when you want to start a business. Knowing about your competitors helps you understand the market better, customers closely and forecast demand.
Businesses that cannot take risks or cannot afford to do R&D has to have competitor analysis to learn market trends in detail. This becomes the only way to stand out in the competition for these companies.
Here is our process of doing competitor analysis which can be followed by any business regardless of the industry they operate.
Step 1: Identify current and future competitors in market
Firstly, list down all the players in your industry. For instance let’s say you are selling sweatshirts in India, you need to know who all are in the same business, both branded and unbranded.
You have to maintain a list of competitors, updated frequently. Take 20 mins everyday to browse through web and take a brief look at others website, social media pages, listings, etc. and see if you can find anybody else in your market.
We use SimilerWeb to keep a track on websites operating in the same industry. Doing this, we get to know who are the key players in the industry, how they rank, how they are presenting themselves and their worth.
Step 2: SWOT
Now that you know your competitors name and website address, it’s time to dig a little further in understanding their strategy. Work out their strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. This will also be an opportunity for you to understand the market better.
Try to figure out their core strengths, for example if they are having a great social media presence, actively posting and interacting with their followers on a daily basis, make a note of them in bullets. Similarly, do the same for their weakness, opportunities and threats and note it down.
Here is how you get started! Google a competitor’s name and find where they are present. List all the channels down, get into each of these and see how active they are, analyze your worth of being present there and how their audience is reacting. Then look into their brand as a whole in terms of quality, communication, sales, support, rating and conversion strategy.
Step 3: Look into opportunities
Now that we know strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of our competitors, we will try to find patterns and figure out opportunities to sell our business.
If they have a strong presence on Facebook and are selling their products by paid promotions and advertising, figure out the products and services they are marketing through these channels. For example, if the sales is good but the quality of the creatives could be better, you can do it and kickstart your campaigns. Also, if they haven’t tapped into a channel where you think your target audience spend their time, plan to be present there as soon as possible.
Our methodology is simple. We use Whatrunswhere and check for all the things our competitors are doing. In addition, we talk to our TG and understand where they spend time on internet, at what time they specifically spend their time and what would they like to consume. Then we plan to give them what they like, when they want, in the way they like it.
Step 4: Strategy
This is the most important step. Coming up with a strategy that helps in competing with people who are already in the market from a long time is very difficult, keeping in mind how difficult it is to be consistent for small companies.
There are two ways to approach in planning your strategy. One by following exactly what your competitors are doing and slowly grow by improving your presentable’s. Second approach is to make something out of the box, put more effort and grow in a faster rate (FYI it’s harder than it sounds).
Come up with weekly roadmaps that explain what you need to do, timelines to execute them, purpose and realistic targets you need to achieve. Put it on a paper and keep a check on them as you achieve.
We usually do it in spreadsheets. We list down the tasks that needs to be carried on a daily basis, set goals and timelines for achieving it. After that we prioritize our work based on the deliverables. For example, if we have to send out newsletter on a Friday, we generate content on Monday, design creatives on Wednesday, make the template by Thursday and schedule it.
Consider using Gantt chart to track how you are doing in terms of meeting deadlines and see if you can optimize your workflow for better performance.
Step 5: Compare and Improve
Monitor your progress at regular intervals of time. Set equal time frames where you check momentum of all your competitors and see where you stand in comparison to them. If you are doing better than your last interval, you are doing things right, otherwise you need to rethink your strategies.
For every action, there is always an equal and opposite reaction. Your competitors will also be watching you and reacting. So make sure that you do these things on a regular basis. Keep looking for new competitors, go through the above steps again and again.
Here is a secret that we found out with time. All the companies do their initial competitor analysis, but won’t keep it as a repetitive process. They’ll think they are doing better than their competitors, when the other company will have figured out a better way and implemented it.
So, don’t forget to keep those 20 minutes on your calendar every day for doing this.
Happy analyzing! | https://www.bizinventive.com/how-to-do-competitor-analysis/ | 2018-10-15T17:52:41 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [

In an interview with Collider, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige was asked about the possibility of a return of the Fantastic Four home to Marvel and a Marvel Cinematic Universe outing. It’s a fair question, given that whilst the company that currently owns the film rights 20th Century Fox, though those rights can be complicated at times, enjoy pretty good luck with the X-Men franchise, their attempts with Fantastic Four have been, well….see the above.
Feige, however, seems to suggest that there is still no Marvel’s First Family in the MCU’s future,.
However, it is interesting that he suggests there’s no frosty ground between the two companies, especially given the long reported rumours of Marvel Comics CEO Ike Perlmutter‘s desire to not see anything Fantastic Four related in the offices or comics while Fox have the rights, that the characters could appear, but not under the Fantastic Four title. But then, Perlmutter and Feige had their own reported falling out.
Also, I think his comments in regards to Fox’s success rate with all the Marvel properties they own is generous to say the least, as they’ve only really achieved success commercially and critically with the X-Men franchise.
His comments would imply that as yet, Fox are still interested in keeping in the Fantastic Four business, and that no discussions of a shared deal like Marvel Studios has with Sony for Spider-Man is on the cards. | https://www.bleedingcool.com/2017/05/12/kevin-feige-confirms-still-no-mcu-fantastic-four-planned/ | 2018-10-15T17:57:42 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [

"Never forget!"

It all started when my original HDD failed. In order to preserve some cash, and what seemed to be a perfectly decent computer, I decided to purchase a new hard drive and install an operating system. The drive that I bought was a Western Digital Scorpio Blue (WD3200BEVE) which I am confident is compatible with my computer. I physically installed it, check to make sure that my computer was recognizing it, then booted from my optical drive in order to install Windows XP from the Dell XP CD that came from with the computer. It all seemed to work fine until I had to reboot, at which point I started getting a bunch of IO errors, and of course when I attempted to boot from the HDD, it failed.
Then, being worried that I had larger problems than just the HDD, I decided to put a copy of Ubuntu onto a flash drive and run it from that (which is what I am currently working with as I write this email). That settled me because it seemed that the computer itself was working fine (video card, memory, processor). I then decided to try to insall Ubuntu to the HDD so that I could boot from there, and at least be taking a step in the right direction. This also worked just fine, until I was instructed to restart. Unfortunately I encountered errors again, and when I attempted to boot from HDD, I was given the message :
error : out of disk
grub rescue>
I am currently able to save information to the hard drive, and reopen it. It stays there when I shut down and reboot too, so although it could be something wrong with the hardware I purchased, I doubt it. I suspect that there may be a problem with my BIOS, however I am unsure of how to update it at this point. I don't know what to do at this point

TRAIT – TRAIning Transversal: supporting career development and research is an ERASMUS+ project – Strategic partnership in VET field.
In the future, creativity, the ability to think laterally, adaptability and other transversal skills will be valued more than the specific bodies of knowledge that schools have traditionally taught.
Strategic framework for European cooperation in education and training – ET 2020.
Drawing inspiration from this vision, TRAIT has got three priorities.
It is going to:
- develop basic and transversal skills using innovative methods;
- improve the professional curricula of VET teachers and trainers;
- promote high quality work-based VET.
To match its priorities, the project is going to design, implement and disseminate two intellectual outputs:
- one research analysis on how the selected six transversal skills – interpersonal communication, learning to learn, social and civic competences, sense of initiative and entrepreneurship, cultural awareness and expression, ethical values and sustainable development – are represented in the work-field.
- One blended learning toolkit mixing three different combined approaches and made-up of three different sub-outputs: 1. an online e-learning platform; 2. a manual of transversal skills; 3. a face-to-face training material including methods and techniques to apply the key concepts of the six transversal skills in direct workshops with the learners.
TRAIT is all this and much more.

In today’s fast-changing world, a climate that welcomes diversity and inclusion should not be an afterthought. A decisive, analytical, independent and aggressive leadership is essential. However, companies also need nurturing, flexible, collaborative, patient and empathetic leaders. Dynamic businesses should be able to combine both masculine and feminine leadership traits. Thus, in a nutshell, there is a need for more women in the C-Suite in order to propel companies to greater heights.
Women in the C-Suite Reality Check: Looking at the Numbers
Ideally, diversity and inclusion should become a natural foundation of a company’s leadership and culture. However, the numbers tell us a different story. Out of the Fortune 500 companies, the total number of CEOs went down from 32 to 24 just a year ago. With only about 5 percent of the executive leadership positions allotted to women, one can’t help but ask—Why are there few women in the C-Suite?
When joining the workforce at an entry level, men and women start on equal footing. However, the pipeline of female talent begins to decline in middle management. Based on the 2018 data of S&P 500 companies, female executives among mid-level managers make up only 36 percent of the roster and 26.5 percent for the senior level management.
More Women in the C-Suite Can Help Close the Gap
According to the World Economic Forum Report on The Global Gender Gap Report of 2017, it will take 217 years to close the pay disparity and workplace opportunities between male and female workers. Plus, at the rate we are going, the overall global gender gap can close in 61 years in Western Europe, 62 years in South Asia, 79 years in the Caribbean and Latin America, 102 years in Sub-Saharan Africa, 128 years in Eastern Europe and Central Asia, 157 years in the Middle East and North Africa, 161 years in the Pacific and East Asia, and 168 years in North America.
Clearly, there is an undeniable call to invest in more effort to close the gaping workplace gender disparity.
Businesses Advocating for Women in Leadership—Yes to More Women in the C-Suite!
Industries and businesses are becoming aware of the growing gender gap. More so, companies are now recognizing the need to tap on the strengths and qualities of a female executive to bring in a distinct leadership brand into the board. Additionally, more women in leadership encourage a culture that values equality, diversity and more open communication. Consequently, having more women in the C-Suite will encourage more women in leadership roles.
Here are some of the businesses boldly stepping up to advocate for more women in the C-Suite Level:
One Big Step for Mankind, One Bold Move for Women in the C-Suite
Gender diversity doesn’t only benefit the company’s culture. Equality in gender can also future-proof the business. Research shows that companies with more female leaders are 20 percent more innovative than companies with all-male leaders.
Notably, a female brain has higher connectivity between the brain’s left and right hemispheres. This neurological composition allows women to be more intuitive and analytical. On the other hand, a man’s brain is hardwired to take action and execute tasks.
The stark differences in behavior and leadership styles between men and women are complementary. When harnessed accordingly, both leadership styles of men and women can help businesses address a host of issues and bring more benefits to the workplace. Hence, why not start by taking a bold collective step in having more women in the C-suite of existing companies? | https://www.boldbusiness.com/human-achievement/women-c-suite-top-companies-promoting-women/ | 2018-10-15T18:21:58 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [

Lyra McCauley, current Scribe of the Alliance, is the only one who can decode magic hidden in the recently retrieved ancient texts written by her ancestors, the first four Scribes. Information in those writings can help Lyra locate the four missing keystones, which will restore power to the Alliance and allow overthrow of the Dark Realm. With peace restored, she and her beloved, Cullen, could finally marry.
Time is short with the Black Dragon’s Dark Realm increasing attacks to avenge the death of his heir. Many innocent lives are lost. Alliance residents are forced into hiding. Magicals and blue dragons follow leadership of the Imperial Dragon and the other three Guardians into battle to defend the Alliance.
While Lyra unlocks the ancient magic, she opens herself up to scribal powers from her ancestors. She alone can fight the deadliest of the Dark Realm’s forces–the cimafa stealth dragons–but at a cost. The energy flux threatens her health and ability to learn where to find the missing keystones. Can Lyra overcome this shrewd tactic of the Black Dragon to decimate the Alliance?

Quintessence: Enchanted Bookstore Legend Five (an Epic Fantasy Romance) (Enchanted Bookstore Legends Book 5)
Marsha A. Moore
(10 Reviews)
Genre: Romance | Fantasy | Teen & Young Adult
Barbaric Dark Realm warfare threatens to overtake all Dragonspeir lands, including the Alliance. Lyra McCauley, the fifth Scribe of the Alliance, finds herself in a desperate competition to gather four missing keystones. Those amulets of the four natural elements guarantee victory for the side possessing them. The Dark Realm’s alchemist, Eburscon, beats her to finding the water gem, the Pearl of Pendola. Three more keystones remain: the fluorite containing earth energy, the moonstone of the sky, and the fiery, dangerous Emtori Ruby.
The powerful gems, stolen centuries ago, channel astral energies and can restore much-needed Alliance power–the last hope. The wizard, Cullen, who is Lyra’s beloved, relies on Alliance magic for his immortality and will perish if the land falls to the Dark Realm.
Lyra uses her rare magical energies of quintessence and the Staurolite, governor of the four natural elements, to guide her to the hidden keystones. However, greed and power drive opponents, who challenge her in close pursuit, planning to destroy the Alliance, or to claim the power of quintessence for themselves.
The Dark Realm captures the ten-year-old Alliance seer, Kessa. Her abilities can give them information about the locations of the keystones, complicating Lyra’s plans. Will her love, allegiance, and quintessence allow her to save Cullen, Kessa, and the Alliance before the Dark Realm claims all of Dragonspeir?

A evening in new york

Short Story by: Neutrastaff
Oh, and I changed a few names around as well, well they're mostly right but I shorted names alittle as I didn't want to include too much, as it is a bit of a personal story even if it is mostly fiction.
I wake up around noon in my white hotel room. Today, I feel really bad. What's the problem, well the problem is that the person I loved, the one person who I fell in love a few years ago who told
me she loved me back, who I secretly married who was pregnant with our child, she's no longer here. Long story short she never made it out of the delivery room and I lost both her and our son. This
was pretty recent actually, how do I feel you ask, well how the **** do you think I feel, pretty damn terrible.
Anyway, I get changed, into some brown baggy jogging pants with a large t shirt along with my long brown hooded robe I started wearing. I sometimes look like a Jedi from the star wars movies though my hood is a lot larger, expands to my shoulders and you can only see my mouth. I grab a pair of flip flops and head down the hall, hop on an elevator and arrive on the hotel bottom floor. As I head toward the lobby I pass by one of the people at the counter, a man who tells you where the rooms are. "Good afternoon, Master Oneil", I hear him say to me. "Hey, good afternoon", I speak back being polite, even though I still feel like mess. "Master, you know...we all here feel your lost and we're all sorry that you are going through this tough time", he says remorsefully. "It's alright", I say not wanting him to worry, course he probably just said that just to make me feel better but you know I didn't want to be rude, after all people do call me 'the good gentleman' now. "I'll be heading out for awhile", I say to the guy, "please tell me if anyone calls or leaves any messages". "Yes, master", he says optimistically.
I am here in New York City for a few days. I have some special business that I need to take care of so I just decided to stay for about three/four days. So I decide to take a walk around a few city blocks. I want to clear my head of things so I go around and look at a few places around the city. I remember around two days ago I payed a visit to the 9/11 fountain monument, which I though was a nice exhibit, so beautiful, well I like city fountains anyway but of course this one was special. Anyway, today I spend time going around central park, I bring along a small group of my personal bodyguards so I won't...you know...get too disturbed, though it seems that I'm the one making a scene it seems with all these people following me. Central park is beautiful, I mean I spot people painting, children playing, couples being together on the bridges, people riding bikes together. I see mimes making tales out of themselves, vendors selling hotdogs, it's a clear beautiful day today, so nice. I look to the sky (I can't help but wonder if she and he can see me from down here).
So it's pretty late, around seven. The sun's going down and the sky's glowing pale orange with darkness in the distance. I arrive back at the hotel and go through the lobby. I go back to the person at the counter who looks up noticing me. "Good evening, master", he says. "Hello", I say enthusiastically, "anyone call for me, any news". "Yes sir", he says, "there was a woman who came by an hour ago looking for you". "A woman", I ask curiously. "Yes sir", he responds, "it was a very small woman, about four feet and maybe four/five inches, she had long black hair and was wearing a black dress asking for you". "Hmm, I see", I say, "did she say she was coming back". "Yes, I told her that you'd be back in a little while. She told me that she would come back around an hour", he says. "Good, very good son", I say.
Waiting for this woman, I decide to wait for her at the lobby. I go to where the fancy lamps and couches and big soft chairs are and have a seat. The lighting for this area is very beautiful as the red glow creates a twilight effect, I love it. I find a reader's digest book on the counter and look through it. "Would you like something, master. A drink or something to eat", ask one of my personal assistance. "No, thanks", I respond still looking through the book. Around an hour later I hear someone coming and look up to see who it is. It's a short woman, four feet tall and a few inches she's pretty tiny. She does have long black hair, a black dress and black heels. I wonder if this is the woman that the person at the counter mentioned which I'm pretty sure she is. The left half of her face is hidden with her hair. After seeing her face I know exactly who this woman is.
"Hey sis", I say to her as she comes to me. "Hey Staff, I came here looking for you and what do I not find, YOU!", she says sarcastically. Oh, I'll tell you a little about her. This tiny woman is my little sister, Rin. You see Rin is obviously very short and she does sort of look like a little kid. However she's in her late twenties, in fact she's only four years younger then me. Let me tell you this real quick also, you know what this girl use to do in her early twenties, back then when she went to a movie she would by the child's tickets lying about her age and because of the way she looks she actually got away with that mess, use to piss me off, she was too cheap to pay a full price so she bought the child's tickets. Then when there was an R rated movie she would make me come and say I was her dad (that's right even though I'm only four years older) and she'd do the same thing, she'd get the discount while I had to pay for an adult ticket. Oh and on a side note, we don't have the same last name anymore, I changed mine years ago (long story).
"Well, I'm here now",
"Where did you go",
"Just around the block",
"Remember I was coming today",
"Oh yeah, you did say you was going to stop by, didn't you",
"So how do you feel",
"Terrible, could barely function. I do all I can to take my mind off stuff but I just can't".
She walks behind me and wraps her arms around me holding me, "I know it's rough. And it's going to be rough for awhile. You know something, me, J and Rochelle are around for a reason, you need to stop by and see us more, we barely get to see you nowadays, you need to come by and see your family more often". "I know that", I say to her, "it's just...my work lately. I'm doing a lot more now then I did a few years ago". "Staff, come see us", she says.
A minute later me and Rin head for the revolving doors out the hotel. "Shall we, my dear", I say to her. "We shall", she says with a smile. Me and Rin go outside past the revolving doors and on the sidewalk where we grab a taxi. My personal guards don't accompany us inside the taxi, though some tail us in their own security car, it would just feel more normal if we rode in a taxi like normal folks just this once. We head to a night club, more of my personal bodyguards await us, helping Rin and me out the taxi. "All the preparations are in order, master", one of the bodyguards tells me. "Excellent", I replied. "See, look at that. You are so popular now, people call you master now. Course I know you earned that title, but still it makes it seem like your too good to see us anymore back at home", Rin tells me. "You know that's not true, Rin", I tell her, "I just been busy as I told you". "Mm Hm", she responds.
Me and Rin head into the club together. It's more of a lounge club, a place to relax and enjoy your stay, not one of those extreme nightclubs like you would see on Jersey Shore, speaking of which you know Rin sort of reminds me of Snooki a bit, short, tanned skin, long black hair. Anyway, me and Rin step inside and sit at one of the long curved bench-like seats. The room is large, dark but has blue lights and small lit candles on the tables. There's not many people inside, as I rented out most of the club tonight for just me and Rin though I allow a few people to step in. There's a woman in a blue dress singing on top of a piano who I get mesmerized by, not attracted to her, but just the surreal atmosphere kind of got to me. Rin orders a glass of wine, I just order orange juice (that's right, alcohol isn't my thing). I look around tapping the table. The woman later takes a break and goes back stage.
"Hey, why don't you go up there",
"What, go up there",
"Yes you always wanted to be a singer. I know you've been singing small time, don't you want to get up there".
"I'm an R&B singer, Staff, I don't do clubs like this,I mean, I always wanted to...".
"Well here's your chance, come on, go, there's not that many people here".
"No, Staff",
"Go!",
"Fine, I'll go. But you introduce me",
"Wha...",
"That's right, I'll only go up there if you introduce me",
"Darn it, Rin! Alright, whatever. know what your going to sing",
"Yeah, I guess".
Me and Rin get up and move back to the side of the club making our way to the stage. People speak to one another backstage and such making adjustments. They speak to the guy on the piano and the jazz band that's playing telling them stuff about what music they have to play. I make my way on stage and greet the few people around. I then turn to the small crowd and speak to everyone present.
"Good evening", I say to them, "I never done this before so I'll make this short. My name is Staff and I'd like to introduce you to my sister, Rin. She'll be singing a song for you tonight, she doesn't sing at places like this too often so don't pressure her to much. So here she is, my sister, Rin".
The small crowd claps as Rin steps on stage smiling holding her hands together. I step away and let her take the microphone. I step backstage as she speaks. "Hey everyone", she says, "I guess I'll be singing 'This Bitter Earth', not the one by Dinah Washington, but the Deborah Cox version". So the lights get adjusted and the jazz band starts playing. I step back and watch. Rin begins to sing. She sings the first words "...this bitter earth", and does nothing but get better. It's such a deep song and I can't believe such a short tiny little woman can sing like that, guess in a way big things do come in small packages. She pretty much sings her heart out and by the time she was finished the small crowd are more then pleases roaring in applause. Afterwards I come back out on stage, me and Rin hug one another.
Some time later, me and Rin go around the city block at night, yes this time we're accompanied by my protection team (in a large city like this no telling who could rob you and such, gotta be careful). We go to a flower shop, which surprised me as you wouldn't expect a flower shop to be in a large city. I buy Rin some red flowers wrapped up. "Thank you kindly", she tells me as I hand them to her. We spend time walking around. "Take that hood off", she tells me. "Let me see the left side of your face", I tell her.
"You know I can't do that, especially here",
"There aren't too many people around to see what your hiding, besides you know it doesn't bother me, in fact I like that mark on you, you know I always thought it was beautiful",
"I know you do, but other people don't",
"Alright, you don't have to", I tell her, "but that's nothing to be ashamed of".
I wrap my arm around her and she leans her head on me. We go back to the hotel together with my entourage of bodyguards. "That will be all for tonight", I tell them. "Yes, master", one guard says to me. I dismiss them and me and Rin head upstairs. She decided to get a room of her own though I offered her to share with me. She was like "I need my own space" and all of that, and I'm just like "whatever" (yeah, we still do the teenage talk every once in a while). Anyway, me and Rin head up by elevator and I escort her to her room. "I'll see you later", she says to me. "Alright, night", I say. "Night", she speaks back. We kiss each other on the cheek and I head back down slowly to my room down the hall which i reflect on the day.
As I head on all I can seem to think of is "I wish you were here. Why did you have to leave me alone". Oh excuse me, you probably don't feel like hearing me rant, do you? I just can't seem to stop thinking of her, I miss her so much. All I can think of is her, and our son that we never got to raise together. As I get to my room I lean against the wall beside it. I don't realize it at the time but I sink to the floor and just chill for a while thinking of them. The woman I loved, our child. I know they wouldn't want me to feel this way, but it's not like I can get over this overnight you know. I think I'm going to think about them for a while like this. I just don't want to be alone without someone beside me. "Oh well", I quietly say to myself. I eventually head back inside my room. Looking out the window. I find snacks and drinks set out for me on the counter that a chambermaid brought in while I was out earlier. "I'll get that tomorrow", I say to myself. I change and head for bed. I curl up in it. I imagine holding the pillow, is like holding her. "Lai", I say, "Lai, goodnight".
This is a good story. I feel like it could be the first chapter to a novel. It makes me want to know more about Staff's past and what his future is going to end up being.

Do you have a little one at home who’s football mad? Whether they’re the next Harry Kane or they caught World Cup fever, find out how you can create a football themed bedroom without breaking the bank.
Football Features
Choose a feature as a focal point for the bedroom. This is likely to be the space you spend the most money on but even this doesn’t have to be a big spend. If you’re looking to make a statement we recommend creating a feature wall. If you’re a fan of subtlety, why not focus on the carpet? Suppliers like Artificial Grass Direct can provide the perfect cut of artificial grass as a cheap and easy to install feature that is playful but not garish. Installing artificial grass as a carpet substitute provides a vibrant and tactile base for you to theme the rest of the room around. Alternatively, you can add artificial grass accents to a feature wall for a splash of colour and to create the illusion of depth.
Walls
It’s up to you just how football mad you’re willing to go with the bedroom. If you’ve got the money to spend there are plenty of football themed wallpapers on the market; from simple patterns or player motifs, all the way to prints of actual stadiums. We recommend browsing websites like Murals Wallpaper or even Wayfair for something a bit more out there.
Accessories
Any bedroom can be football themed with the right accessories so don’t worry if your budget isn’t big enough to factor in wallpaper. With enough dedication, you can find a whole host of football accessories online. We recommend accessories like football themed bedding, lampshades, posters, and even fairy lights! For something sentimental why not buy your little one their favourite team’s football shirt in an adult size and frame it for a fun bedroom accessory for now and a cool ‘vintage’ gift for later?
Something Unique
Want something that’s really going to make the room stand out? Or perhaps you’re just after a little something special to tie it all together? Try your luck on handmade craft sites like Etsy. Even if you’re not sure exactly what it is you want, simply searching the term “football” (or “soccer” to widen results) uncovers plenty of treasure. You can narrow your search by home and living if you like. You’ll find anything from stickers and prints all the way to bunting, balls, and personalised trophies.

LOS ANGELES — Every day, millions of cellphone users take photos of their friends, families, pets—even themselves. Soon those cellphone self portraits may include images of their own blood cells, made possible through a microscope attachment on their mobile device.
Cellphones use is becoming increasingly widespread in Africa and other parts of the developing world. Although access to cellphones has become easier, access to medical care remains elusive in many of these poor, remote areas.
Enter the newest cellphone upgrade: The Cellophone Microscope. This device uses a small tube that attaches to the cell phone to create a microscope, which uses the phone’s camera for imaging. The Cellophone can capture microbes and bacteria in fluid samples, which could prove to be a revolutionary concept for the developing world where high-powered microscopes are unavailable.
Cellophone is being developed by a team of researchers led by Professor Aydogan Ozcan of the electrical engineering department at the University of California, Los Angeles. Professor Ozcan’s telemedicine work focuses on replacing expensive lab technology with accessible and economical health solutions. The Cellophone is a prime example: the device costs about $10 and uses computer code, instead of pricey lenses, to create the microscope function.
Cellophone can take images of blood, urine, and saliva samples with the simple technology of a cell phone. The Cellophone works by sliding the fluid sample into the device, just like a memory stick. Using the phone’s camera, the image of the cells is captured and processed with computer code, instead of processing an image through a series of lenses like traditional microscopes. Professor. Ozcan says the micro-sized shadows of bacteria show a distinct texture that allow for identification and mapping of an image by using his “reconstruction algorithms” for processing. With special lighting and the phone’s camera, these images are effectively captured and sent via multimedia file to a laptop for processing, with results returned via text file. In the future, Professor Ozcan says these images will be processed on site if smartphone technology power increases.
Indeed, smartphone technology is grabbing headlines in other health news, like when a computer scientist revealed he wrote an application for the iPhone that acts as a stethoscope. Others, like Professor Ramesh Raskar of Massachusetts Institute of Technology Media Labs, are targeting the high-quality screens of cell phones for telemedicine work. Professor Raskar’s device is called the Near Eye Tool for Refractive Assessment (Netra), which gives the user a personalized eye prescription. Netra, like Cellophone, is a clip-on device, but instead of imaging fluid samples, it diagnoses eye conditions.
Netra’s clip-on lens attaches to the front of the cellphone display, and when users look through, they should see two lines, one red, one green, on the screen. If the two colored lines match up, the user’s vision is in fine condition, but if not, the user taps the phone cursor buttons until they align. This test can be repeated with different configurations to determine how a user’s eyes focus and if they need corrective eyewear.
Professor Raskar says this technology test could be an ideal solution for developing countries because it doesn’t require the user to carry a set of trial lenses and reading charts.
Professors Raskar and Ozcan both believe cellphone technology offers a new way to experience healthcare, and that future software applications and mobile development will continue to assist in global health challenges.
“The cell phone holds huge promise,” said Professor Ozcan. “It has become like a Swiss-army knife.”

Foster believes no-deal Brexit 'likeliest outcome' - report
The head of Northern Irish party Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) Arlene Foster believes that a no-deal Brexit is the "likeliest outcome" following last week's "hostile and difficult" meeting with European Union's Chief Brexit negotiator Michael Barnier.
According to the leaked email by an adviser involved in the Brexit talks seen by The Observer paper, Foster had dinner with the leader of the Conservative Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) Ashley Fox during which she expressed deep disappointment about her meeting with Barnier and said that the DUP "were ready for a no-deal scenario, which she now believed was the likeliest one.”
The official said in the email that it was not clear whether Foster was the government or informing if of her plans. | https://www.breakingthenews.net/foster-believes-no-deal-brexit-likeliest-outcome-report/news/details/45203508 | 2018-10-15T18:20:41 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [

The larger-than-life Kings Cross identity trying to win The Everest
Max Whitby, long and lean and only 17 years old, bursts through the doors of the Texas Tavern in Kings Cross, shoots down the stairs and into the bottom bar with the afternoon sun streaming in behind him.
“Where is he?” he growls.

If he finds the bloke he’s looking for, he’ll belt him into the middle of next week.
It’s Easter,1968, and Whitby has come down from the bush to groom his boss’s cattle at the Royal Easter Show. When he arrived, he found them wallowing in their own shit; all that hard work preparing them before they’d been loaded into the truck had been for nothing.
The bloke who was supposed to care for them said to meet him at the Texas Tavern.
“Where the f...k is he?” Whitby huffs again.
Standing at the bar is a middle-aged Texan-born American in an immaculate suit cradling a scotch and soda. His name is Bernie Houghton, who owns the Texas Tavern and the Bourbon and Beefsteak on Darlinghurst Road. He’s a bootlegger, a restaurateur and a suspected CIA operative.
Houghton takes one look at Whitby. He likes what he sees.
“Give him a job,” he says.
“Right away,” Whitby recalls, “Bernie became the main influence in my life. He was a collector of lost souls, and I was one of them. I was washing dishes at the Texas Tavern that night — and I never looked back.”

This was supposed to be a story about racing but it’s actually about Sydney and how she once rolled.
It’s about Kings Cross in the 1960s and 1970s and all its Runyonesque characters: the crims and the coppers, the prostitutes and the premiers, the drag queens and US soldiers coming off the ships from the Vietnam War looking to get loose.
It’s about the nightclubs that didn’t have front doors because the bars went 24-7, with doormen in dinner suits bouncing pissed blokes down the steps with one hand while serving breakfast to those still going with the other.
It’s also about a kid from Bangalow on the NSW northern rivers who was abandoned by his mum and dad and then raised by his grandparents; who became a ward of the state, bouncing around boys’ homes and foster homes; who went from washing dishes to becoming a self-made multimillionaire and successful stockbroker; who currently owns more than 120 horses, including 2004 Cox Plate winner Savabeel; who shares one of the $600,000 slots in today’s $13 million The Everest at Royal Randwick.
So maybe this story is about racing.
Whitby, who shares the slot with Black Caviar owners Neil Werrett and Colin Madden, will fire up the Kris Lees-trained Graff in the 1200-metre race.
It’s taken some time to find the lightly raced colt.
Whitby didn’t want Vega Magic, his horse from last year that should’ve beaten Redzel if not for a horrific ride from Craig Williams. He wanted Menari — before he broke down. He wanted Chautauqua — before he was retired because he wouldn’t leave the barriers.
He was eyeing off other horses but reckons he missed out because of an underlying snobbery from owners who wanted to link with more “dignified” slotholders, which includes leading breeders and casinos and betting operators and global racing operations.
“Mate, I’m just a knockabout from Bangalow,” Whitby laughs.

Does he ever feel like racing’s elite look down their nose at him because of his humble beginnings?
“Of course, I do,” he says. “I know what some of them say under their breath – and I don’t give a f..k. I love it. Mate, I’m going alright. I’m not fighting with anybody. I can buy what I want, drink what I want. I’m a knockabout and proud of it. Doesn’t bother me at all. When they get to know me, I’m pretty good fun. You work in Kings Cross for a hundred years, you tend to be a bit human.”
He’s certainly that.
Racing people know Whitby, 68, as the larger-than-life character with slicked-back silver hair who wears colourful suits with a starched shirt collar. Tinted horn-rimmed glasses complete the picture of a man not to be played.
He’s a legendary punter who struggles to find a bookie who will take him on. “I don’t do form,” he says. “I bet late, and I bet big.”
Over a very long lunch at China Doll at Woolloomooloo Wharf last week, Whitby describes a world and life that seems like something out of a movie — or Runyon’s Guys and Dolls.
As soon as he could leave school at 14, he was out the door — “Like Zoom Top out of box eight” — and hitch-hiked to North Queensland, sleeping in graveyards and strangers' sheds. He was his own man long before he was one.
“Hungry,” he says. “It made me hungry.”
Working for Houghton, he never had a day off and quickly climbed his way up the ranks of the empire. Whitby, like most people, simply called Houghton “the Old Man”.
“I’m going to send you downtown,” the Old Man said to him in 1970.

He paid for Whitby to have his teeth straightened, put him in an expensive dinner suit and sent him to Harpoon Harry’s Tavern on George Street.
“I had a liquor licence before I could legally drink,” Whitby chuckles. “It was never dull in our world. You’d be serving steak diane, then knocking blokes out, all in a dinner suit. We’d rub shoulders with international acts like Burl Ives, Shirley Bassey, Jose Feliciano, Carlotta … Bernie liked theatre, he liked colour, he knew interesting people attracted interesting people.”
Whitby stayed with the Old Man until 1977, spending time in Melbourne for a while after he was “tapped on the shoulder” and advised to leave Sydney, although he doesn’t elaborate why. He started dealing in gold bullion, and then stockbroking and trading, before the stock market crashed in 1987 and he went back to working for Houghton.
“I knew you’d come home one day,” the Old Man said to him.
Coming home meant looking after the Bourbon and Beefsteak. In January 1999, Australian cricketer Ricky Ponting appeared on the front page of the Sun-Herald standing outside the bar with his arms around an unknown woman and sporting a black eye after getting in a fight.
Security had called Whitby to ask if they should bounce the biggest name in Australian cricket out the door — and they did.
“I got the call about 4am,” he recalls. “It’s very important in our world that we have control.”
Rebuilding his wealth through the stock exchange gave him the bank needed to buy and race horses. He teamed with legendary New Zealand trainer Graeme Rogerson to win the Cox Plate with Savabeel, and still retains shares in him at stud.
“I like the bloke,” he says of Rogerson. “He’s a pusher and a shover and if you get inside he’s got a heart that big. But he’s fearless.”
Best Rogey story?
“At Rogey’s father’s funeral, from the pulpit, he goes, ‘Now all you people here. You know those books you sign as you come in? Make sure you put your email addresses in them because you might want to buy a horse’.”
He likes Rogerson because he knows where he stands with him. Whitby is renowned in the racing industry for putting his hand in his pocket when someone needs help. But he can’t cop someone taking what they don’t deserve.
“I’ve been paying somebody something my whole life,” he says. “That’s what pissed me off as a 12-year-old kid when I was a ward of the state. When I found out people were getting paid to look after me, it poisoned me. I never had any love in my life. Until I met Jen.”
First love: Max with wife Jen, whom he met on his 21st birthday.
He met Jennifer at Harpoon Harry’s on his 21st birthday. When he got tapped on the shoulder and forced out of town, they married in Kirribilli and drove south.
“She never swore,” Whitby says. “But when she did she’d look at me and say, ‘Listen, you’re not at f..king work now’. I got very lucky with her.”
Just over a year ago, Jen felt a twinge in her back. She thought she’d pulled a muscle but an MRI scan revealed the devastating truth: it was cancer. “It started in her pelvis and went right through her,” Whitby says.
When he won the Cox Plate, nobody was happier than her. “She loved Cox Plate Day because it was what we had been building towards for so long,” he says.
The race Whitby has wanted to win the most, though, is the Grafton Cup; for many reasons and not least because he grew up in the area.
He’s had a handful of favourites over the years, and even had one scratched at the barrier, but it’s always eluded him.
In July, he had First Crush, which is trained by Chris Munce, the former jockey who piloted Savabeel to his Cox Plate win.
Whitby wasn’t in Grafton when they jumped. He was in Sydney because Jen was too sick.
“We won the Cup, honey,” he told her but she was too medicated to understand.
Ten days later, Jen died. Whitby and his family, including daughters Kate and Elisha, scattered her ashes into Sydney Harbour on Sunday.
Sadly, nothing lasts forever.
The Cross barely resembles its former self. Any minute now, The Bourbon will be turned into apartments. The Texas Tavern is long gone and now a fancy Greek restaurant. Harpoon Harry’s burned down decades ago.

Houghton died in 2000. Whitby fought council to ensure a bust was erected in Fitzroy Gardens, not far from the front doors of The Bourbon, in honour of him.
“Jen often said, ‘Other than making a man of you, Bernie taught you the world’,” Whitby says.
The party might have slowed but it doesn’t have to end. If Graff salutes today, there will be no shortage of people wanting to buy Whitby a beer. He's easy to have one with.
As our lunch starts to wind up, some of the heavy hitters from a leading European stable, who have been eating at another restaurant, walk past.
“Max, why don’t you come to our box tomorrow at the races?” one of them asks.
“All good, mate,” Whitby says politely. “I’ve got my own.”

Teaching Philosophy
The works of Immanuel Kant contributed greatly to both my research focus and my teaching philosophy. When I first read Kant’s 1784 essay “What is Enlightenment?,” I was taken aback with its powerful endorsement of critical thinking and what to me seemed like logic for universal education. I came to similar conclusions over two hundred years later. Everyone can benefit from higher education and moreover, the purpose of education is to teach students to value critical inquiry. As a history professor, my goal is to inform and empower my students. This means introducing them to new information, but also equipping them with the tools needed to ask tough questions and to find creative solutions. As such, my three goals for the classroom are to promote the study of diversity, to develop critical thinking and writing skills (as associated with Writing Across the Curriculum), and to enhance the use of technology in the humanities.
I encourage students to make connections with the past and develop critical thinking skills through active learning. When I lecture, I use the Socratic method to keep students engaged. I ask questions to lead students to complex conclusions. Rather than detailing, for instance, the various implications of the Black Plague on European demographics in the fourteenth century, I ask students to describe the effects of such a loss in infrastructural, political, religious, and cultural terms. After such a discussion, I give students certain historical examples to reinforce our discussion. Most of my classes incorporate primary and secondary source readings that become the fodder for group discussions as well. In my upper division courses, I have students lead discussions, so they can practice their work through their own critical analysis as well as become better leaders in general. On occasion, I also incorporate historical simulations into the classroom. For example, in my Age of Enlightenment course, we built a feudal society from the “state of nature” — a phrase with great significance for Thomas Hobbes and Jean-Jacques Rousseau. Each student acted as a family unit, made choices when faced with disease, famine, and war. They ultimately developed a fully functioning feudal order. As we moved through the Age of Enlightenment, we returned to our simulation to emphasize issues like wealth disparity and political economy, religious fanaticism and religious toleration, and the theory of natural rights all set against the backdrop of the Christian feudal order. These methods encourage active learning, which is necessary for students to engage with the material, to think critically, and to empathize with people of different cultural backgrounds.
I plan lectures, design in-class activities, and create assignments that stress critical thinking, writing, and the use of technology. For example, in my Modern European history course at SUNY Adirondack, I had students examine the origins of the French Revolution. In order to emphasize the complex and sometimes non-linear nature of cause and effect, students identified ten events, people, ideas, and trends that led to the revolutionary rupture in 1789. Students then used Timeline JS to create visually stimulating and interactive timelines that included imagery and explanatory text. My teaching philosophy aims to inform students and prepare them for their post-collegiate lives. This assignment encouraged students to think about chronology in critical terms, but it also taught them how to use a new digital tool. In the spring of 2017, one of my students graduated and got a job where she uses Timeline JS to develop timelines for her company's purposes. By bringing technology into the history class, we can teach an appreciation for the past as well as teach new skills that have direct and obvious value in a competitive job market.
I won the Joe Richardson Award for Excellence in Teaching at Florida State University for my focus on cross-cultural diversity, critical thinking and persuasive writing, and the application of technology in the history classroom. What my experience has taught me thus far is that teaching is a life-long learning process and I enjoy learning about pedagogy and experimenting with new teaching approaches.
Human life, without knowledge of history is nothing other than a perpetual childhood, nay, a permanent obscurity and darkness. | https://www.bryanbanksphd.com/teaching-1 | 2018-10-15T18:11:58 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |

The riser arm is a popular place to put a Shower Caddy as it keeps your toiletries neatly tucked out of the way – the Shower Caddy blends in with the riser, looking like it came as part of the kit. That said, all Shower Accessories in the range look great together so you can mix and match to find the right style.

Business loans are a form of debt financing which allows businesses to source funds without giving up ownership. A loan will generally consist of principal and interest components, with the principal reflecting the amount borrowed and the interest the return demanded by the lender for the risk assumed.
Loans may also be secured or unsecured. With a secured loan, the borrower will pledge collateral or security for the loan (such as inventory, equipment or property). Unsecured loans do not require any specific collateral or security, but will involve a general claim against the lenders assets or even a personal guarantee. Visit to learn more about this type of financing.
Loans can be tailored to the individual requirements of the business. Lenders can provide flexibility regarding size, term, interest payments and collateral or security.
To learn more about how business loans can help your business, contact a BusinessFinance.com.au consultant today.Contact Us | https://www.businessfinance.com.au/business-loans | 2018-10-15T18:04:39 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |
Australia’s aviation safety authority recorded a stunning – and so far unexplained – surge in the number of recorded turbulence incidents at the end of last year.
While turbulence does tend to see seasonal increases in the warmer months, the chart below shows the extraordinary nature of the increase between October and December last year, when turbulence events were 64.5% higher than the same period the previous year.
The number of turbulence related injuries is also up with 20 injuries recorded between October and December, well above the five year average of 6.45. Here’s the chart, provided to Business Insider by the Australian Transport Safety Bureau:
Turbulence affects flights when air masses moving at different speeds and temperatures collide – typically involving warm air rising from the ground and cold air descending from above. Last summer was warmer than average for Australia but not the hottest on record, which was 2012-13. The ATSB says it doesn’t have any theory on what’s behind the increase but will continue to monitor it closely.
According to ATSB data for the five-year period between 2009 and 2013, there were 677 turbulence occurrences on flights in, to or from Australia.
During the same period 197 minor injuries and two serious injuries to passengers and cabin crew were reported.
Severe turbulence injuries reported in October 2013 included four passengers on a flight bound for New Zealand reported a head injury, a fractured neck vertebra, and a sprained hand.
In another turbulence event the ATSB reported a Qantas 767 flight in November last year between Sydney and Melbourne experienced two minutes of serious turbulence, several passengers were struck in the head and injured by a laptop.
The United States Federal Aviation Administration estimates that the cost to the worldwide aviation industry of turbulence injuries is over $US100 million annually.

South Korea is pulling out all the stops for the upcoming inter-Korean summit this week where President Moon Jae-in will meet with Kim Jong Un for the first time – and the food they will be eating will be fraught with symbolism.
Friday’s summit follows Kim making an unexpected trip to Beijing and precedes a much-awaited planned summit with President Donald Trump. It will take place in the “truce village” of Panmunjom in the Korean Demilitarized Zone.
There have only been two such summits since the start of the Korean War in 1950, with both held during the reign of Kim’s father, Kim Jong Il.
As the summit follows a year of extreme tension between the Koreas, it carries high expectations: South Korean officials are reportedly aiming for a peace treaty between the two countries by the end of the summit.
The South Korean President’s official residence, also known as the Blue House, released the menu and sample photos of what the two leaders will be eating on Tuesday..
Sea bream and steamed crab — a typical combo in Korean food.ise is sending a chef from Pyongyang to make on the day of the summit with a special noodle-making machine.
The chef will install the special machine in Panmunjom and deliver the noodles straight to the banquet when he’s done making them, the Blue House said.
A mango mousse — with the map of a unified Korea on top — hidden inside a hard chocolate dome, which the diner can knock apart with a tiny hammer. According to the Blue House, the mango mouse symbolises warm inter-Korean relations breaking through a hard shell.
Japan lodged a formal complaint with South Korea about about the map printed on this dessert because it features a set of islands to which both countries have laid overlapping claims.
Tea made with mushrooms from the Baekdudaegan mountain range, which runs from North to South Korea, and orange from South Korea’s southernmost Jeju island. The tea is meant to symbolise the hope that the energy of peace will run from Baekdudaegan to Jeju.

- JPMorgan Chase made a splash with its now-legendary Sapphire reserve credit card, thanks in part to figuring out what millennials wanted in a premium card.
- Pam Codispoti, who led the Sapphire team, told Bloomberg Businessweek that affluent millennials didn’t dislike credit cards, they just wanted something marketed toward them and not their parents.
- After interviewing young spenders across the country, Codispoti and team realised a product featuring flexible travel and dining rewards would be a hit.
When JPMorgan Chase first launched its now-legendary Chase Sapphire Reserve credit card, it had enough confidence to forego any formal marketing and rely on word of mouth – despite chasing a demographic, affluent millennials, that supposedly hated credit cards.
That’s because JPMorgan’s Sapphire team, led by Pam Codispoti, had cracked the code on millennials and credit cards. They realised young spenders didn’t loathe credit cards, they just didn’t have much interest in having products that were made and marketed for their parents shoved down their throat.
“What they were looking for was something different than what the market had to offer at the time,” Codispoti, who has been promoted to oversee JPMorgan’s retail bank branch network, told Bloomberg Businessweek’s Jennifer Surane. “They weren’t interested in their father’s credit card.”
After interviewing millennials across America, they realised that the cohort craved flexible travel and dining rewards.
So JPMorgan packaged unprecedented rewards – a $US300 travel credit, an eye-popping 100,000-point sign-up bonus, lush bonus points for travel and dining spending – with a broad array of airline, hotel, and restaurant partners to redeem them with, making a hefty $US450 annual fee seem like a worthwhile investment.
The fallout has by now been well documented: Millennials responded so enthusiastically that JPMorgan temporarily ran out of the metal core feature in the card. JPMorgan booked a $US200 million loss in the last quarter of 2016 thanks to the card – which it expects to recoup by retaining customers over the long haul – and subsequently cut the sign-up bonus in half.
And American Express, which considered the card a direct attack on its Platinum credit card, and a slew of other card issuers scrambled to match the Sapphire Reserve.

Compare that to the image from Google Maps that was taken a while before Monday’s storm.
If you zoom in a little closer on the new images, you can see just how severe that damage is.
Here is Briarwood Elementary School, one of two elementary schools severely damaged in the storm. It has a purple badge, marking the highest level of damage, which is described as “Total destruction of a large section of building or entire building.”
Here is Plaza Towers Elementary, where 7 children were found dead and a number of children had to be pulled from the rubble.
Check out the Google Crisis Map to see the damage for yourself, and try comparing with the regular satellite images in Google Maps. Time Magazine also has a great comparison of before and after images.

It now appears the shift was a blip. The past three years have all but erased a 10-year decline in driving that began in 2004; in both 2015 and 2016, vehicle miles traveled, or VMT, per capita rose by more than 2 percent, a higher rate than at any time in the past quarter-century.
Basically, we're driving as much (per person) as we were in 2000, and the rate is rising. But a meaningful, long-term shift is occurring in driving patterns, as a new paper by Michael Sivak and Brandon Schoettle of the University of Michigan makes clear. Urban driving is up 33 percent in that time; rural driving has fallen 12 percent..
This jibes with a trend I wrote about in April: The miles of road lanes classified as urban is increasing while the miles of road lanes classified as rural is decreasing. But part of that shift, as Tony Dutzik, a senior policy analyst at the Frontier Group, pointed out to me then, can be explained by the ongoing classification battles that occur on the exurban fringes of growing cities, where rural roads become urban as cities expand. When a busy "rural" interstate in an Austin, Texas, exurb gets reclassified, it may shift more drivers from the "rural" to "urban" category than it does residents. Dutzik has previously shown that rural VMT decline can in large part be attributed to these boundary changes. (To make matters more complicated, the criteria vary from state to state.)
And yet: The divergence is a little too large to boil down to terminology. Sivak and Schoettle put forth four questions for future research: What characteristics of new urban arrivals might influence their driving habits? How have urban and rural economies diverged? Who drives in which places and why? And how has the internet changed driving needs, particularly in rural areas?
We know that urban growth—especially over the past few years—has been concentrated in sprawling Sun Belt metropolises, so it would make sense for driving to outpace urban population growth. Other culprits to look out for: the metropolitan character of the ongoing economic recovery (urban driving is also more likely to involve commuting), declining transit use, the (almost exclusively urban) rise of ride-hail companies, and the big mystery of how e-commerce affects driving (warehouses where consumer goods are stored, boxed, and shipped are increasingly urban).
What's going on here? Something to ponder on your next long drive. | https://www.businessinsider.com/why-urban-america-is-driving-more-2017-7 | 2018-10-15T18:36:43 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |

YouTube revamps streaming music service
[SAN FRANCISCO] YouTube is launching a revamped, standalone streaming music service as part of an effort to step up competition against fast-growing rivals like Spotify and Apple Music.
The new YouTube Music is set to launch next week in the United States, Australia, New Zealand, Mexico and South Korea, with more markets coming online soon.
The move enables the Google-owned service to separate its paid, premium video plan from the music service, offering a variety of free and paid options.
The free, ad-supported version of the music service will be available along with an ad-free subscription membership at US$9.99 per month.
The standalone music service, which will be two dollars more expensive than its current plan, includes "a reimagined mobile app and brand new desktop player" along with "thousands of playlists, the official versions of millions of songs, albums, artist radio and more." YouTube will offer the "premium" streaming music as a standalone, or in combination with its original video plan, which is being rebranded as YouTube Premium from YouTube Red.
The video service, which includes shows like Karate Kid-inspired "Cobra Kai," will be priced at US$11.99 and include ad-free music.
The move by YouTube comes following a splashy stock market debut by Swedish-based Spotify, which claims 75 million paying subscribers and another 99 million monthly users on its free, advertising-supported tier.
Apple chief executive Tim Cook said in a recent Bloomberg interview that the company has 50 million paid and trial subscribers on its music service, which launched in 2015 and does not have an equivalent free tier.

Tom Hanks' 'Factory Man' Tackles American Economic Woes With HBO Miniseries
It's not really deniable at this point in time that Tom Hanks is an American treasure. So it makes sense, I guess, that Hanks' next project is thoroughly rooted in American economic issues. Hanks' next project is Factory Man , a miniseries for HBO being adapted from a book of the same name. Ready to get into the nitty gritty narrative of job outsourcing? Hanks is.
According to Deadline it's Playtone — the production company Hanks and producer Gary Goetzman run together — is producing the project. They brought you That Thing You Do!, Mamma Mia, Cloud Atlas, Where the Wild Things Are, Game Change, and many more, and now they're bringing you the miniseries adaptation of Beth Macy's New York Times Bestseller Factory Man: How One Furniture Maker Battled Offshoring, Stayed Local — And Helped Save An American Town.
The Amazon description of the book seems to indicate it's telling a pretty familiar.

Although a large number of varieties of English in Asia have gained recognition as independent varieties, this has not been the case for Hong Kong English (HKE) (Jenkins, 2015: 162). The city has a low level of affiliation towards HKE (Jenkins, 2015: 167) and often laments its ever-falling standard of English (Leung, 2015). There exists a phenomenon of ‘linguistic schizophrenia’ – the community may recognise that a local variety of English exists and conform to its features in practice, but it still looks to native varieties as the norm and views local features as evidence of deteriorating language standards (Kachru, 1983: 118). | https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/english-today/article/factors-affecting-the-acceptability-of-grammatical-features-of-hong-kong-english/CF60F6DFD993AC8BFE4A991BDD7FCDAE | 2018-10-15T17:54:50 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |

A blog that brings you Canfor news and achievements in the world of lumber, pulp, paper and green energy.
This year marks a special milestone for our company. In 1938 co-founders and brothers-in-law John G. Prentice and L.L.G. “Poldi” Bentley formed Pacific Veneer, a furniture and paneling veneer company on the banks of the Fraser River. The company was on a steady path for growth and eventually was renamed to Canadian Forest Products Limited in 1947.
We are proud of our history and what the company has become today; this includes the rich past that each of our acquisitions have brought to the One Canfor story. While we remember where we came from, we also look forward to the future, and celebrate our 80th anniversary.
The biggest change we’ve seen in the last five years since our 75th anniversary is in regards to our significant growth in the US South with the acquisitions of Southern Lumber, Beadles and Balfour and Anthony Forest Products Company. Our presence in the US South now spans 14 operations across six states.
In British Columbia, we acquired Wynndel Box and Lumber Ltd. in Wynndel, BC and opened two additional pellet plants in Northern BC.
Continuing our interests in growth and expanding our clean energy business stream, we signed a joint venture agreement with Licella Fuels in 2016 to investigate whether Licella’s technology can economically convert wood biomass and pulp mill streams into biocrude that can be used to produce next generation biofuels and biochemicals.
I wish to thank all employees, both past and present, for their dedication to Canfor. It is only through teamwork, determination and steadfastness that we are where we are today. I am very proud of this company and look forward to further growth and success in the future.

ROME, December 9 – Inter Milan president Massimo Moratti has warned coach Rafael Benitez that failure is not an option at the Club World Cup next week.Inter leave for Abu Dhabi on Friday and play their first match next Wednesday against either hosts Al-Wahda or Seongnam Ilhwa of South Korea.
But with last season’s treble winners sitting a lowly fifth in Serie A, 10 points behind bitter city rivals AC Milan, and having finished second to Tottenham in their Champions League group following Tuesday’s 3-0 defeat at Werder Bremen, Moratti has told Benitez to show his mettle.
"I don’t want to create problems either before or during the Club World Cup but after we’ll see," he said.
"Benitez has to have character because otherwise we won’t win a competition like the Club World Cup.
"Psychologically I felt bad about the defeat (to Bremen) but I didn’t say anything to the players.
"When you lose you feel betrayed but that doesn’t mean I think the players did it on purpose.
"I think we don’t have enough character to overcome obstacles."
Last season character was one of Inter’s main strengths under now departed boss Jose Mourinho and Moratti clearly expects something similar from Benitez’s team.
"We’ll pick ourselves up because we have an important appointment," he said.
"We need great psychological support so that the players start doing what they were doing before.
"Benitez) needs to take hold of the team and make everything function like clockwork."
That last point sounded like a direct referrence to Mourinho who was well-known for his meticulous preparation, even planning training sessions to run for exactly 90 minutes.
Benitez has pointed often to a lengthy injury list as his team has struggled this season but Brazilian full-back Maicon, who has been injured for more than a month, claims that should not be an excuse.
"The problem is not injuries, we have a huge squad with great players," he said.
"Injuries can’t be an excuse. I don’t know what the problem is but we’ll try to find it so we stop messing up." | https://www.capitalfm.co.ke/sports/2010/12/09/benitez-walking-a-tight-rope/ | 2018-10-15T16:49:42 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |

Las reseñas más útiles sobre B2W Estimate
Bid2Win Estimating Software User Review
Comentarios: Having used multiple estimating packages including Harddollar, HCS, Success, MCACES, and MCII, this program is by far the most user-friendly and feature-rich system in the commercial marketplace today, in my opinion. Additionally, the Bid2Win Software Engineers are eager to hear of user-identified feature requests and incorporate them into the software as new feature updates. We have used the system for 10 years, now, and have been very satisfied with the stability, speed, ease of use, minimal learning curve, and scalability of the program. I would give the software a 9.2 out of 10 and would raise the rating to 9.8 out of 10 if the Cons posted above were addressed.
Puntos a favor:
Our company is a heavy/highway general contractor that self-performs removals, earthwork, bridges and retaining walls, underground utilities, asphalt paving and concrete paving. We investigated other options prior to commiting to the purchase of Bid2Win, choosing it because of its intuitive, tabbed user-interface and the ability to construct reusable task templates for any kind of work imaginable. The following bullets give an overview of the features available:
- User defined work categories / sub categories
- User defined labor classification / burden database
- User defined equipment classification / rates database
- Unlimited task template creation for repetitive work items
- Tabbed costing interface for calculating costs / markups / and bid pricing
- Markup distribution strategy tab for spreading costs to maximize project cash flow
- Automatic bond cost table
- Microsoft SQL server-based for unlimited concurrent user access (multiple estimators work at the same time)
Puntos en contra:
- Weak export of costs and resources to Critical Path Method scheduling software (i.e. Export to Microsoft Project, not Primavera)
- Only basic implementation of Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) subcontractor assignments (still requires additional spreadsheet work outside of the program to get a complete analysis of DBE participation)

A man is being hailed a hero after moving with remarkable speed to save a pensioner on an escalator in east China's Shandong province.
The incident, caught on CCTV camera, occurred on Jan. 6 when an older woman lost her balance on an escalator in a real estate registration center in Yantai.
In the blink of an eye, a clerk from behind a desk sprinted to the moving staircase to help the woman.
People’s Daily China reports “it took him no more than three seconds from seeing to saving the old lady.”
The man has been identified as Yu Haohan. "I was working when I heard the commotion over there," Yu said, according to Channel News Asia. "I turned around, and saw that an elderly woman or man had fallen on the escalator."
Although he works at the real estate registration center, Yu served as a soldier for eight years, Channel News Asia reports. He also took part in relief work after an 8.0-magnitude earthquake hit southwest China's Sichuan province in 2013.
"Subconsciously, I knew I should offer my help if a person is injured or in need of help. I think that's what one should do," he said.

IN BRIEF, THE LATEST CARGO AIRLINE INDUSTRY NEWS.
Cargolux adds two new Africa destinations
The Luxembourg based all cargo carrier Cargolux, continues with its operational expansion into Africa. The airline announced last week that it is adding two new destinations. One is to Douala, Cameroon and the other to Lubumbashi, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The Lubumbashi service commences on 15 September and Douala follows as of 3. October. Both destinations will be served on a once weekly basis. Lubumbashi flights depart LUX Friday evenings and return via JNB, NBO and London-Stansted (STN) to LUX by Sunday midday.
The Doula flight leaves LUX Wednesday afternoon and routes via Bamako and returns to LUX by Thursday late morning. Cargolux state that they see good potential for growth in both regions. The DRC has a flourishing copper and cobalt mining industry which is centred around Lubumbashi. Cameroon has Central Africa’s largest seaport and exports large amounts of fruits, coffee, cocoa, metal, oil and timber. With the addition of both cities, CV now offers services to 35 African destinations.
Logistic Training Center present in South Germany
The Germany-based Logistic Training Center which has its headoffice in Neu-Isenburg, near Frankfurt Airport, has now branched out into Southern Germany. They have opened a new training centre at Stuttgart Airport which is headed by Thomas Huchler who brings extensive experience and know-how in the logistics branch after having held positions with various logistics companies, in particular with EMO-Trans.
Huchler has in the past coached many management members of quite a few well-known logistics entities. He spent many years in the USA and is also fluent in English as well as German. He will be an important addition to the LTC team in Stuttgart and it is expected that he will, among others, concentrate on and steer activities in training methods for Sales, Management and Personnel development.
TACA inaugurates U.S. to South America
Lima, Peru based Trans America Airlines (TACA Peru) has initiated direct Lima to Miami flights using an Airbus A330-200 freighter. This is the carrier’s first operation into the United States. In total, four flights per week will operate through Miami with cargo also from Bogota, Buenos Aires and Medellin. TACA Peru also operates various passenger flights throughout South America and the Caribbean from its central hub in Lima.
Cargo operations between Afghanistan and India back on track
CargoForwarder Global reported in an earlier edition on the plans being set-up for the inauguration of an Afghanistan - India air cargo service. Flights commenced as of mid-June 2017 but were suspended again for almost three weeks due to no dedicated carrier being on hand to offer continuity. Flight route planning was from Delhi to Kabul for up to four monthly cargo flights. The suspension was because the Afghanistan national carrier, Ariana, had suspended flights on the sector. The new route, which was agreed upon by both governments as is seen as being an important trade lane for the future is now back on line with services having been agreed with Kabul-based Kam Air using Boeing 737 equipment. There are still ground operational issues such as proper warehousing facilities at Kabul, which have to be sorted out before the service can be seen as being optimal.
Jettainer gets new Operations Director
Frankfurt-based Jettainer which worldwide manages around 90,000 Unit Load Devices (ULD’s), has appointed Frank Muehlenkamp as their new Director of Operations. Muehlenkamp will take over responsibility for the total management and maintenance of the company’s containers and aircraft pallets which are used by a total of twenty-four airlines across the globe.
Mr Muehlenkamp startet his career with Lufthansa in the Ground Operations Department in Frankfurt and after a short sojourn with Augsburg Airways, he moved back to Lufthansa where he has held several positions in the ground and flight operations departments in Germany, the United States and Europe.
Single AOC planned for Atlas & Southern Air
Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings (AAWH), which is the mother company of Atlas Air, acquired Southern Air Holdings, the parent company of Southern Air, which is another all-cargo carrier, at the end of the first quarter of 2016. The acquisition cost AAWH around US$110 million and it is said that the plan is to fuse both Atlas Air and Southern Air into one common entity. Before this can be achieved, the company must agree with the unions (Teamsters) on a common labour agreement. Discussions in this direction have it seems already started.
Once things are sorted out, Atlas plans that both carriers should operate by early 2018 under a single operators certificate (SOC). Whether this is achievable depends on how fast both companies can be merged.
B757F capacity increase for First Air
Canadian carrier First Air is looking at leasing in ad-hoc cargo capacity in the form of a B757 freighter to better serve their Kuuijuag destination situated in Quebec. The plan is to lease in a once-a-month B757 service into Kuuijuag from fellow Canadian operator Cargojet Airways. This would be in addition to First Air’s B737 services to the city which presently operate from Montreal.
ABC gains QEP accreditation
AirBridgeCargo has achieved Envirotainer QEP accreditation at its central global hub Moscow Sheremetyevo Airport and in Dallas, Texas. DFW is one of the carrier’s six destinations served in the U.S. Swedish ULD provider Envirotainer created its Qualified Envirotainer Provider Training and Quality Program (QEP) to recognize forwarders and airlines which demonstrate their ability to properly manage temp sensitive shipments in accordance with Good Distribution Practices (GDP).
Fedor Novikov, Director Pharma, Global at AirBridgeCargo, commented: “QEP accreditation is one of the benchmarks we and our customers recognize as being very important as we grow pharma volumes across our network.” Chris Fore, Compliance Manager at Envirotainer, said: “AirBridgeCargo clearly realizes its responsibility to its customers in terms of delivering a quality product to the end user - a patient. QEP accreditation sends a strong message about the high standards the airline is committed to delivering.”

By Pat Hutchinson, District Manager, Newtownabbey CAB
Q: I am 55 and have a personal pension which I am thinking of accessing. What are my options and is there anything I need to be aware of?
A: New pension rules came into effect on April 6, 2015. You now have more freedom over how you take money from your pension pot. More people will be able to draw money from their pension funds instead of buying an annuity and for those already doing so, or planning to do so, to draw money more flexibly and with less of a tax charge.
The feature that most people seem to be celebrating is the abolition of the so-called “death tax”, the current 55% tax charge on unspent savings belonging to anyone drawing their pension who dies over the age of 75.
The changes only affect you if:
• You are 55 or over,
• You have a pension based on how much has been paid into your pot (a defined contribution pension – this could be an occupational pension or a personal pension)
As part of the new legislation the government has introduced a new service called Pension Wise offering free, impartial guidance for those thinking of accessing their pensions. Face-to-face appointments with a trained pension guidance specialist are available through Newtownabbey CAB.
These appointments will cover:
• The different ways you can take money from your pot
• What each option means for your circumstances – in particular, how taking money from your pension may affect tax you pay, benefits you receive and debts that you owe.
• Next steps you can take and where to go for further information.
Things to be aware of:
Putting more flexibility into the system, and allowing people to leave unspent funds to their loved ones is bound to make pension saving more attractive.
The most important thing to be aware of is that these pension reforms apply only to people who qualify to take their pension - in other words, those who are over the age of 55.
• For further information or to book a Pension Wise appointment call 028 9085 2069. For non-Pension Wise queries you can get free, confidential and independent advice from your nearest CAB – go to or visit Newtownabbey Citizens Advice Bureau, Dunanney Centre, Rathmullan Drive, Rathcoole, Newtownabbey, BT37 9DQ.
Telephone advice is available 9am – 4pm each day on 028 9085 2271 (Lunch: 1 - 1:30pm). Email advice is available by contacting enewtownabbey@citizensadvice.co.uk | https://www.carrickfergustimes.co.uk/news/advice-pension-wise-offers-impartial-guidance-1-6777537 | 2018-10-15T18:14:46 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |

Ron Adams is swapping his Elvis Presley sequined jumpsuit for a flashy Rat Pack tuxedo when he performs at the annual Red Dress Gala this month.
At the glitzy affair that raises money for the Cayman Heart Fund, Adams will be channelling Dean Martin in a show that promises the “best of the Rat Pack”.
He will be appearing with Dave Seering, who plays Frank Sinatra, and Rodney Wilson as Sammy Davis Junior.
The show will reflect what used to happen when the über-cool and famous members of the Rat Pack had their own individual shows in Las Vegas in the ‘50s and ‘60s and the impromptu performances that would ensue when they crashed one another’s shows.
Adam’s entertainment company has been doing the Rat Pack Tribute show for about 18 months and it’s earning rave reviews.
“The Rat Pack Tribute show is very, very popular,” said Adams.
He has performed as Elvis twice in Cayman and thought he would shake things up a bit for next month’s performance and introduce the Rat Pack show to Cayman.
And while no-one will contest that Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jr could hold a tune or two, a lot of the enjoyment of the Rat Pack came from watching the banter and jokes between the group. Adams promises his tribute show will be have plenty of that.
“Frank Sinatra would play at the Sands [hotel in Las Vegas] and when Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr had their own gigs, when they finished, they’d go over to Frank’s show because that started later. They would come over and jump up on stage and cut it up with him. That’s exactly what we will be doing,” said Adams.
“It’s all off the cuff. We all work together really well,” he added.
The Rat Pack and their entourage will be travelling in style after a friend loaned them a private jet to get to Cayman and they’ll be spending a few days here, enjoying the weather and meeting some new and old pals.
Adams and his fellow Rat Packers won’t be the only people providing Hollywood glamour at this year’s gala – the entire event has an Oscar theme this year and everyone is being encouraged to dress up as a Hollywood star.
The best dressed Oscar couple will win three nights at the Hard Rock Resort Hollywood in Florida, courtesy of Cayman Airways and Hard Rock Café Grand Cayman.
There will also be several silent auction items up for grabs, including a three-day cruise on Carnival Imagination, a trip for two on Cayman Airways to Miami Ritz-Carlton in South Beach, a Reef Resort Residential Club Package in Cayman, a one-night spa stay at the Westin Causarina Cayman Islands, paintings by CE Whitney, Maureen Lazarus, Avril Ward and Nick O’Neil, as well as fabulous jewellery items and spa and gym services.
A few tickets still remain. They cost $150 per person or $1,350 per table of 10. To book a ticket, email [email protected] or call 916-6324 or 925-1860. | https://www.caymancompass.com/2013/02/01/rat-pack-will-headline-oscar-gala/ | 2018-10-15T16:38:35 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |
Workers at hundreds of Quebec daycare centres go on strike
More than 21,000 children impacted by day-long strike at Quebec early childhood education centres
Thousands of Quebec parents have been forced to find alternative childcare today as workers at 400 non-profit daycare centres across the province are on strike.
More than 21,000 children will be impacted by the day-long strike at early childhood education centres (CPEs) across Quebec.
- Child-care workers at 400 daycares vote in favour of strike mandate
- Quebec daycares threaten closures over cuts to provincial funding
Negotiations between the provincial government and the CSN, the labour federation representing about 11,000 workers at the CPEs, stalled last Thursday and have not picked up since.
At around 10 a.m., more than 1,000 protesters gathered at Place des Arts in Montreal. More than 2,000 workers were also expected to picket in front of about 107 facilities across the city.
Québec solidaire members Amir Khadir and Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois are expected to be among those striking in Montreal.
Workers are also protesting at various places in Quebec City throughout the day, and in other cities in Quebec including Sherbrooke and Rouyn-Noranda.

Changes to retirement plan cause concern
Representatives from both sides have blamed each other for the impasse, with each side accusing the other of being inflexible.
The CSN has accused Quebec of putting impossible demands on the workers.
Quebec's Ministry of Families wants to push the age of retirement from 60 to 61 or for employees to pay part of future deficits in the retirement system.
For Wylma Cobb, who has been an early childhood educator since 1980, the retirement issue is of particular importance.
She's been on leave for two years due to a knee injury, but pushed through the pain to stand alongside her fellow CPE workers in protest of the government's inaction.
"We have lots of extra training in this," Cobb said. "We promote values and choice We're not [just] standing around watching kids all day."
For older daycare workers, being forced to work an extra year before they can retire can be physically taxing.
"To interact with children, you're down at their level, and it's up and down continually all day, oftentimes having to pick children up," said Jeff Begley, a CSN spokesperson.
Budget cuts impact services, workers say
The union has also criticized the government for making budget cuts since 2014.
Class sizes have grown at certain CPEs and some services, including laundry and speech therapy, have been cut.
"We used to have help," said Michele Charron, who has worked at a CPE in Pointe-Saint-Charles for six years. "Our workload has increased."
The union has been without a collective agreement for three years.
The ministry, meanwhile, has blamed the union for "sticking to its positions," and said it was willing to negotiate "day and night" if necessary.
Parents and children affected
Some parents support the strike, but are still inconvenienced by its impact.
Lukian told CBC Daybreak's Mike Finnerty that she supports the educators because she sees "the effort that goes into their day-to-day" operations.
She added she believes it's important to support them because they are also educating infants.
Parents do not want to see their children's care diminish because of budget cuts, Lukian said.
Next steps
The daycare workers are expected to go back to work on Tuesday to celebrate Halloween with the children.
"We aren't happy about this," Labrie said. "We would rather be at work, we would rather receive our salary than be on strike today."
Labrie said about 10 subjects are still on the negotiation table.
"The ministry has to unblock the mandate so we can continue our work and conclude this collective agreement," she said.
