Kitante Hill School held its golden jubilee last week under the theme,” celebrating 50 years of distinction in service”. The chief guest, Rebecca Kadaga, made a generous donation of Shs. 600 million to boost the school’s development. She said the money was for renovating old buildings and construction of a multipurpose block. The new block will house classes, a library and an administrative block, which will solve the issue of space at the school. Built in 1960, for civil servants’ sons, Kitante Hill has evolved, said Rose Izizinga, the head teacher. Back then it had only 200 students in 2 streams, ranging from S.1 to S.4; but it later attained A-Level status in 1986. The number has also since grown to 1, 600 boys and girls today, because the school became co-ed in 1987. The school has had 6 head teachers, who have nurtured and molded students to achieve in life. The school boasts of old students like FDC chairman-Kizza Besigye, Macdusman Kabega (criminal lawyer), Moses Ssali (Bebe Cool) and Robert Kyagulanyi (Bobi Wine). Izizinga urged the old students to take pride in their school and help at all times. She requested them to make known the Kitante Hill Old Students Association (KIHOSA) as one way of marketing the school. In terms of performance, 80% of Kitante’s students score between division 1 and division 2. In A’ level, 90% are eligible for university and other tertiary institutions; thus a reason to make merry on the school’s 50th celebrations. Kadaga, the deputy speaker of parliament, nevertheless, encouraged teachers to include subjects such as: patriotism, human rights, peace, moral and spiritual values. In a bid to respond to government‘s call of job creation, during the golden jubilee, students exhibited entrepreneurial skills by baking cakes and crafts, such as: bags, mats and earrings. This government founded school, even amidst celebration, has cause to worry. Due to its location on prime land, chances of it expanding are few because of preying investors. Its neighbour, Kitante Primary School, is a fallen victim as part of its land has been sold to investors and construction is already underway.

2009-07-14 Assigned to BOSTON SCIENTIFIC SCIMED, INC. reassignment BOSTON SCIENTIFIC SCIMED, INC. ASSIGNMENT OF ASSIGNORS INTEREST (SEE DOCUMENT FOR DETAILS). Assignors: TEO, TAT-JIN, EDMUNDS, KEVIN D., HASTINGS, ROGER N., PIKUS, MICHAEL J., RICHARDSON, LEONARD B. An imaging core, that is configured and arranged for insertion into a catheter, includes a mirror disposed at a distal end of a rotatable driveshaft; a motor coupled to the driveshaft and including a rotatable magnet and at least two magnetic field windings disposed around at least a portion of the magnet on a rigid slotted material; and at least one fixed transducer positioned between the motor and the rotatable mirror. The driveshaft extends through an aperture in the magnet to allow passage of the driveshaft through the at least one transducer to the rotatable mirror. At least one transducer conductor is electrically coupled to the at least one transducer and in electrical communication with the proximal end of the catheter. At least one motor conductor is electrically coupled to the magnetic field windings and in electrical communication with the proximal end of the catheter. The present invention is directed to the area of intravascular ultrasound imaging systems and methods of making and using the systems. The present invention is also directed to intravascular ultrasound systems that include imaging cores distally positioned within catheters, the imaging cores including motors for rotating the imaging cores, as well as methods of making and using the imaging cores, motors, and intravascular ultrasound systems. FIG. 1 illustrates schematically one embodiment of an IVUS imaging system 100. The IVUS imaging system 100 includes a catheter 102 that is coupleable to a control module 104. The control module 104 may include, for example, a processor 106, a pulse generator 108, a drive unit 110, and one or more displays 112. In at least some embodiments, the pulse generator 108 forms electric pulses that may be input to one or more transducers (312 in FIG. 3) disposed in the catheter 102. In at least some embodiments, mechanical energy from a pullback motor disposed within the drive unit 110 may be used to provide translational movement of an imaging core (306 in FIG. 3) disposed in the catheter 102. In at least some embodiments, electric pulses transmitted from the one or more transducers (312 in FIG. 3) may be input to the processor 106 for processing. In at least some embodiments, the processed electric pulses from the one or more transducers (312 in FIG. 3) may be displayed as one or more images on the one or more displays 112. In at least some embodiments, the processor 106 may also be used to control the functioning of one or more of the other components of the control module 104. For example, the processor 106 may be used to control at least one of the frequency or duration of the electrical pulses transmitted from the pulse generator 108, the rotation rate of the imaging core (306 in FIG. 3) by the drive unit 110, the velocity or length of the pullback of the imaging core (306 in FIG. 3) by the drive unit 110, or one or more properties of one or more images formed on the one or more displays 112. In at least some embodiments, the imaging core 306 may be rotated about a longitudinal axis of the catheter 102. As the imaging core 306 rotates, the one or more transducers 312 emit acoustic pulses in different radial directions. When an emitted acoustic pulse with sufficient energy encounters one or more medium boundaries, such as one or more tissue boundaries, a portion of the emitted acoustic pulse is reflected back to the emitting transducer as an echo pulse. Each echo pulse that reaches a transducer with sufficient energy to be detected is transformed to an electrical signal in the receiving transducer. The one or more transformed electrical signals are transmitted to the control module (104 in FIG. 1) where the processor 106 processes the electrical-signal characteristics to form a displayable image of the imaged region based, at least in part, on a collection of information from each of the acoustic pulses transmitted and the echo pulses received. As the one or more transducers 312 rotate about the longitudinal axis of the catheter 102 emitting acoustic pulses, a plurality of images are formed that collectively form a radial cross-sectional image of a portion of the region surrounding the one or more transducers 312, such as the walls of a blood vessel of interest and the tissue surrounding the blood vessel. In at least some embodiments, the radial cross-sectional image can be displayed on one or more displays (112 in FIG. 1). In at least some embodiments, the drive unit (110 in FIG. 1) is used to provide translational movement to the imaging core 306 within the lumen of the catheter 102 while the catheter 102 remains stationary. For example, the imaging core 306 may be advanced (moved towards the distal end of the catheter 102) or retracted/pulled back (moved towards the proximal end of the catheter 102) within the lumen 304 of the catheter 102 while the catheter 102 remains in a fixed location within patient vasculature (e.g., blood vessels, the heart, and the like). During longitudinal movement (e.g., pullback) of the imaging core 306, an imaging procedure may be performed, wherein a plurality of cross-sectional images are formed along a longitudinal length of patient vasculature. In at least some embodiments, the pullback distance of the imaging core is at least 5 cm. In at least some embodiments, the pullback distance of the imaging core is at least 10 cm. In at least some embodiments, the pullback distance of the imaging core is at least 15 cm. In at least some embodiments, the pullback distance of the imaging core is at least 20 cm. In at least some embodiments, the pullback distance of the imaging core is at least 25 cm. In at least some embodiments, the catheter 102 with one or more transducers 312 mounted to the distal end 208 of the imaging core 306 may be inserted percutaneously into a patient via an accessible blood vessel, such as the femoral artery, at a site remote from the selected portion of the selected region, such as a blood vessel, to be imaged. The catheter 102 may then be advanced through the blood vessels of the patient to the selected imaging site, such as a portion of a selected blood vessel. It is desirable to have uniform rotation of the imaging core 306 during operation. When the catheter 102 is advanced through blood vessels of the patient, the catheter 102 may navigate one or more tortuous regions or one or more narrow regions which may press against one or more portions of the catheter 102 and cause a non-uniform rotation (e.g., a wobble, a vibration, or the like) of the imaging core 306 during operation. Non-uniform rotation may lead to the distortion of a subsequently-generated IVUS image. For example, the subsequently-generated IVUS image may be blurred. In conventional systems, a rotational motor is disposed in a proximal portion of the catheter 302 or in a unit to which the proximal portion of the catheter is attached. Due to the distance between a proximally-positioned rotational motor and an imaging core and the tortuous nature of the vasculature into which the distal end of the catheter is positioned during operation, non-uniform rotation can be difficult to prevent. In at least some embodiments, a motor capable of rotating the imaging core may be disposed on an imaging core positioned in a distal portion of the catheter. Typically, the imaging core has a longitudinal length that is substantially less than a longitudinal length of the catheter. The imaging core also includes one or more transducers. In at least some embodiments, disposing the motor in the imaging core may reduce, or even eliminate non-uniform rotation caused by one or more off-axis forces (e.g., blood vessel walls pressing against portions of the catheter). In at least some embodiments, the motor includes a rotor formed from a permanent magnet. In at least some embodiments, the catheter has an outer diameter that is no greater than one millimeter. It may be the case that the distal end of the catheter 102 is disposed in patient vasculature without having any information regarding the precise location or orientation of the one or more transducers. In at least some embodiments, a sensing device may be disposed in the imaging core for sensing the location or orientation of the one or more transducers. In at least some embodiments, the sensing device includes one or more magnetic sensors. In some embodiments, the sensing device includes a plurality of magnetic sensors located external to the patient. In other embodiments, one or more sensors are positioned within the patient, and a plurality of sensors are positioned external to the patient. Additionally or alternatively, in at least some embodiments, the sensing device measures the amplitude or orientation of the rotating magnet magnetization vector produced by the motor. In at least some embodiments, data from the magnetic sensing device may be input to a drive circuit to provide controlled and uniform rotation of the imaging core (e.g., through a feedback loop). In at least some embodiments, data from the sensing device may also be used to make corrections to data collected during non-uniform rotation of the imaging core. FIG. 4 is a schematic longitudinal cross-sectional view of one embodiment of a distal end of a catheter 402. The catheter 402 includes a sheath 404 and a lumen 406. A rotatable imaging core 408 is disposed in the lumen 406 at the distal end of the catheter 402. In at least some embodiments, the imaging core 408 is surrounded by an sonolucent fluid. In at least some embodiments, the fluid is airless. In at least some embodiments, the fluid has impedance that matches impedance of patient tissue at a target imaging site within the patient. One or more motor conductors 420 electrically couple the motor 412 to the control module (104 in FIG. 1). In at least some embodiments, the one or more of the motor conductors 420 may extend along at least a portion of the longitudinal length of the catheter 402 as shielded electrical cables, such as a coaxial cable, or a twisted pair cable, or the like. One or more transducer conductors 422 electrically couple the one or more transducers 416 to the control module (104 in FIG. 1). In at least some embodiments, the one or more of the catheter conductors 422 may extend along at least a portion of the longitudinal length of the catheter 402 as shielded electrical cables, such as a coaxial cable, or a twisted pair cable, or the like. In at least some embodiments, the outer diameter of the catheter 402 is no greater than 0.042 inches (0.11 cm). In at least some embodiments, the outer diameter of the catheter 402 is no greater than 0.040 inches (0.11 cm). In at least some embodiments, the outer diameter of the catheter 402 is no greater than 0.038 inches (0.10 cm). In at least some embodiments, the outer diameter of the catheter 402 is no greater than 0.036 inches (0.09 cm). In at least some embodiments, the outer diameter of the catheter 402 is no greater than 0.034 inches (0.09 cm). In at least some embodiments, the outer diameter of the catheter 402 is sized to accommodate intracardiac echocardiography systems. The motor 412 includes a rotor 424 and a stator 426. In at least some embodiments, the rotor 424 is a permanent magnet with a longitudinal axis 428 (shown in FIG. 4 as a two-headed arrow) that is parallel to a longitudinal axis of the driveshaft 410. The magnet 424 may be formed from many different magnetic materials suitable for implantation including, for example, neodymium-iron-boron, or the like. One example of a suitable neodymium-iron-boron magnet is available through Hitachi Metals America Ltd, San Jose, Calif. In at least some embodiments, the outer diameter of the magnet 424 is no greater than 0.025 inches (0.06 cm). In at least some embodiments, the outer diameter of the magnet 424 is no greater than 0.022 inches (0.06 cm). In at least some embodiments, the outer diameter of the magnet 424 is no greater than 0.019 inches (0.05 cm). In at least some embodiments, the longitudinal length of the magnet 424 is no greater than 0.13 inches (0.33 cm). In at least some embodiments, the longitudinal length of the magnet 424 is no greater than 0.12 inches (0.30 cm). In at least some embodiments, the longitudinal length of the magnet 424 is no greater than 0.11 inches (0.28 cm). In at least some embodiments, the magnet 424 is cylindrical. In at least some embodiments, the magnet 424 has a magnetization M of no less than 1.4 T. In at least some embodiments, the magnet 424 has a magnetization M of no less than 1.5 T. In at least some embodiments, the magnet 424 has a magnetization M of no less than 1.6 T. In at least some embodiments, the magnet 424 has a magnetization vector that is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the magnet 424. In at least some embodiments, the stator 426 includes at least two perpendicularly-oriented magnetic field windings (502 and 504 in FIG. 5) which provide a rotating magnetic field to produce torque causing rotation of the magnet 424. The stator 426 is provided with power from the control module (104 in FIG. 1) via the one or more motor conductors 420. In at least some embodiments, a sensing device 432 is disposed on the imaging core 408. In at least some embodiments, the sensing device 432 is coupled to the housing 432. In at least some embodiments, the sensing device 432 is configured and arranged to measure the amplitude of the magnetic field in a particular direction. In at least some embodiments, the sensing device 432 uses at least some of the measured information to sense the angular position of the magnet 424. In at least some embodiments, at least some of the measured information obtained by the sensing device 432 is used to control the current provided to the stator 426 by the one or more motor conductors 420. In at least some embodiments, the sensing device 432 can be used to sense the angular position of the mirror 414. In at least some embodiments, the mirror 414 is sandwiched between sonolucent material 434. In at least some embodiments, the sonolucent material is solid or semi-solid. In at least some embodiments, the sonolucent material 434 has impedance that matches the impedance of the sonolucent fluid surrounding the imaging core 408. In at least some embodiments, the sonolucent material 434 is disposed over the mirror 414 such that the mirror 414 and sonolucent material 434 form a structure with an even weight distribution around the driveshaft 410. In at least some embodiments, the sonolucent material 434 is disposed over the mirror 414 such that the mirror 414 and sonolucent material 434 form a cylindrically-shaped structure. In at least some embodiments, the imaging core 108 includes a proximal end cap 436. In at least some embodiments, the proximal end cap 436 provides structure to the proximal portion of the imaging core 108. In at least some embodiments, the proximal end cap 436 is rigid enough to withstand lateral forces (i.e., off-axis forces) typically encountered during normal operation within patient vasculature such that the operation of the motor 412 is not interrupted. In at least some embodiments, a proximal end of the driveshaft 410 contacts the proximal end cap 436. In at least some embodiments, the proximal end cap 436 defines a drag-reducing element 438 for reducing drag caused by the rotating driveshaft 410 contacting the proximal end cap 436. The drag-reducing element 438 can be any suitable device for reducing drag including, for example, one or more bushings, one or more bearings, or the like or combinations thereof. In at least some embodiments, the drag-reducing element 438 facilitates uniformity of rotation of the driveshaft 410. In at least some embodiments, the catheter 402 includes an inner sheath 440 surrounding the imaging core 408. In at least some embodiments, the inner sheath 440 physically contacts at least one of the motor 412 or the one or more transducers 416, but does not physically contact the rotating mirror 414 during normal operation of the imaging core 408. In at least some embodiments, the inner sheath 440 is rigid. In at least some embodiments, the inner sheath 440 is rigid enough to withstand lateral forces (i.e., off-axis forces) typically encountered during normal operation within patient vasculature such that the mirror 414 does not contact the inner sheath 440. In at least some embodiments, the inner sheath 440 is filled with a sonolucent fluid. In at least some embodiments, the sonolucent fluid has impedance that matches the impedance of the sonolucent fluid within the lumen 404 of the catheter 402. In a preferred embodiment, the torque is about the longitudinal axis 428 of the magnet 424 so that the magnet 424 rotates. In order for the torque of the magnet 424 to be about the longitudinal axis 428 of the magnet 424, the magnetic field of the magnetic field windings (i.e., coils of the stator 426) lies in the plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis 428 of the magnet 424, with the field vector rotating about the longitudinal axis 428 of the magnet 424. As discussed above, the stator 426 provides a rotating magnetic field to produce a torque on the magnet 424. The stator 426 may comprise two perpendicularly-oriented magnetic field windings (“windings”) that wrap around the magnet 424 as one or more turns to form a rotating magnetic field. FIG. 5 is a schematic perspective view of one embodiment of the rotating magnet 424 and windings, represented as orthogonal rectangular boxes 502 and 504. Although the windings 502 and 504 are shown as two orthogonal rectangles, it will be understood that the each of the windings 502 and 504 may represent multiple turns of wire which may be spread out to minimize an increase in the outer diameter of the catheter (402 in FIG. 4). When the windings 502 and 504 are spread out, a band of current may be generated instead of the lines of current shown in FIG. 5. In at least some embodiments, the diameter of the wire used to form the windings 502 and 504 is no greater than 0.004 inches (0.010 cm). In at least some embodiments, the diameter of the wire is no greater than 0.003 inches (0.008 cm). In at least some embodiments, the diameter of the wire is no greater than 0.002 inches (0.005 cm). In order for the magnet 424 to rotate about the longitudinal axis 428, the torque must be about the longitudinal axis 428. Therefore, the magnetic field generated by the windings 502 and 504 must lie in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis 428 with a magnetic field vector H for the windings 502 and 504 rotating about the longitudinal (z) axis 430 to torque and rotate the magnet 424. FIG. 5 also shows an x-axis 506 and a y-axis 508 that are orthogonal to each other and to the longitudinal axis 428. As shown in FIG. 5, the magnetization vector M 510 of the magnet 402 is in an x-y plane that is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis 428. H=H x x′+H y y′. where M=magnetization vector of the magnet 424 in Tesla; and V=the magnet 424 volume in m3. where τ=the torque vector in N-m; m=the magnetic moment vector in Tesla-m3; H=the magnetic field vector of the windings 502 and 504 in amp/m; and x=the vector cross product. τ=MV (H y cos(ωt)−H x sin(ωt)) z′. The torque is uniform because the magnetic field is uniformly rotating, since H2=Hx 2+Hy 2 is independent of time, and the Hx and Hy components describe clockwise rotation of the winding magnetic field vector H about the z′ axis. The resulting uniform torque on a symmetric magnet having the magnetization vector M in the x-y plane is an inherent expression of a rotating field electric motor. Thus, the orthogonal fields produce a magnetic field that uniformly rotates about the longitudinal axis 428 at angular speed ω. Under operational conditions, the magnetization vector M of the magnet 424 will follow the winding magnetic field vector H of the windings 502 and 504 with a slip angle that is determined by a system drag torque. When the angular speed c is increased, the drag torque (and the slip angle) increases until the magnet 424 can no longer rotate fast enough to keep up with the magnetic field. where Ix=the current in amps producing the magnetic field component Hx; and Iy=the current in amps producing the magnetic field component Hy. In at least some embodiments, the sensing device 432 may be implemented in digital form. In at least some embodiments, digitally processed data output from the sensing device 432 is used to compute the currents at each point in time to maintain uniform rotation. In at least some embodiments, the digital sensing device 432 may measure more than one component of the magnetic field of the magnet 424 at a given point to fully determine the currents for a given rotational direction. In at least some other embodiments, the sensing device 432 may be implemented in analog form. In at least some embodiments, the analog sensing device 432 includes two magnetic sensors placed 90 degrees apart on the housing (430 in FIG. 4) or elsewhere on the imaging core (408 in FIG. 4). Generally, the magnetic field generated by the magnet 424 is substantially larger than the magnetic field generated by the windings 502 and 504. Thus, the sensors of the sensing device 432 measure the perpendicular components of the magnetization vector M in the x-y plane, relative to the axes passing from the center of the magnet 424 to the sensors. The measured signals can be amplified and fed back to the currents in the windings 502 and 504. If, as shown in the previous equations, the x current is inverted, the magnet 424 rotates clockwise. If the y current is inverted, the magnet 424 rotates counterclockwise. In at least some embodiments, the sensing device 432 includes at least some magnetic sensors located external to the patient. For example, two tri-axial magnetic sensors, including six individual sensors, may measure the x, y, and z components of a rotating magnetic field of the magnet 424 at two locations external to the patient. In at least some embodiments, magnetic field sensing of the rotating magnet 424 is facilitated by sensing only magnetic fields that rotate in phase with the magnet winding drive currents. Data from the external sensors may be inverted to find the x, y, and z coordinates of the rotating magnet (and IVUS transducer), and the spatial orientation of the magnet 424. This data can be used to form a three dimensional image of surrounding tissue (e.g., bends in an artery) during pull back imaging. In at least some embodiments, one or more sensors may be positioned in proximity to the rotating magnet 424 and implantable into the patient, while a plurality of sensors remain external to the patient. The implantable sensor may identify the angular orientation of the rotating magnet 424, and this data may be used to accept only data from the external sensors that have the proper frequency and proper phase angle of the rotating magnet while rejecting data obtained from external sensors with an improper frequency and phase angle, thereby further increasing the signal-to-noise ratio in the external sensor data. The value for P is divided by two because sinusoidal current is employed. However the value for P is also multiplied by two because there are two windings 502 and 504. In at least one experiment, it has been estimated that up to 300 mW of heat is readily dissipated in blood or tissue without perceptibly increasing the temperature of the motor (412 in FIG. 4). In at least one experiment, it has been estimated that heat dissipation increases to several watts when blood is flowing. where N=the number of turns of the windings 502 and 504; D=the winding width in meters (typically the outer diameter of the housing (430 in FIG. 4); and L=the length of the windings 502 and 504 in meters. NI can be analyzed in terms of the power dissipated in the windings 502 and 504. Although theoretical optimization of all parameters is possible, safety limits may be incorporated into design implementation. Inserting the above-mentioned values gives a torque of 4 μN-m=0.4 μm-mm, which is approximately four times larger than an estimated maximum frictional drag on the magnet 424. The corresponding force is about 0.1 gram, or about 30 times the weight of the magnet 424. Although torque may be increased by increasing the magnet radius, it is desirable that the catheter (402 in FIG. 4) be small enough to be disposed in a wide variety of patient vasculature. Additional considerations for insertion of the catheter into patient vasculature may be considered including, for example, the length of the imaging core (408 in FIG. 4) (because the relative stiffness of the imaging core (408 in FIG. 4) may affect maneuverability of the catheter), heat generation, the resistivity of metals at room temperature, and the strength of the materials used to form the magnet 424. In at least some embodiments, up to six amps of current may be utilized by the motor. Thus, in a preferred embodiment, the components of the catheter and imaging core are capable of withstanding up to six amps of current without heating. Low power electronic components are currently available to source six amps of current at low voltage. Additionally, previous studies have shown that flexible stranded leads with an equivalent diameter of approximately 0.015 inches (0.04 cm) can withstand up to six amps of current, while also being capable to fitting through a catheter with a one-millimeter outer diameter. It may be difficult to form the windings 502 and 504. For example, it may be difficult to wind a wire of 0.002 inch (0.005 cm) diameter around a cylindrical surface of a housing (432 in FIG. 4). In at least some embodiments, the windings 502 and 504 are deposited onto a thin film (e.g., a polyimide film, or the like), which is then disposed onto the housing (432 in FIG. 4). For example, one or more types of metals (e.g., copper, silver, gold, or other metals or metal alloys) are deposited onto the thin film, and the thin film is disposed onto the housing (e.g., using one or more adhesives or other types of suitable coupling methods). In alternate embodiments, the housing (430 in FIG. 4) is formed from a ceramic cylinder or extruded polyimide tube, or other material that is suitable for deposition of metal strip lines. A three-dimensional lithography process may be used to deposit and define the windings 502 and 504 on the cylinder. For example, a metal film may be deposited uniformly on an outer surface of the cylinder and a laser may be used to remove undesired metal film from the outer surface of the cylinder, thereby defining the windings 502 and 504. FIG. 6 is a schematic top view of one embodiment of the windings 602 and 604 disposed on a thin film 606. In at least some embodiments, the windings 602 and 604 are disposed on both sides of the thin film 606. In at least some embodiments, the winding 602 is disposed on a first side of the thin film 606 and the winding 604 is disposed on a second side of the thin film 606. In preferred embodiments, the windings 602 and 604 are disposed on the thin film 606 such that when the thin film 606 is disposed around the magnet 424 (or the housing 430), the windings 602 and 604 are offset from one another by 90 degrees. FIG. 7 is a schematic perspective view of one embodiment of a three-phase winding geometry 702 configured and arranged for forming a rotating magnetic field around a magnet (see e.g., 424 in FIG. 4). The three-phase winding 702 includes three arms 704-706 onto which windings can be disposed. In at least some embodiments, multiple windings may utilize a single cylindrical surface of the magnet (424 of FIG. 4) with no cross-overs. Such a winding may occupy a minimal volume in an imaging core. Although other geometries may also form a rotating magnetic field, the three-phase geometry 702 may have the advantages of allowing for a more compact motor construction than other geometries. For a three-phase winding geometry 702, current is driven into two lines with the zero and 120° phase shift of the two terms on the left side of this identity. The sum of the two terms returns on the common line with exactly the correct 240° phase shift on the right side of this equation needed to create the rotating magnetic field. It will be understood that the minus sign indicates that the return current is in the opposite direction of driven current. In at least some embodiments, the arms 704-706 may be supported by a substrate to increase mechanical stability. In at least some embodiments, the arms 704-706 are constructed from a solid metal tube (e.g., a hypotube, or the like), leaving most of the metal in tact, and removing only metal needed to prevent electrical shorting between the lines 704-706. For example, in at least some embodiments, the arms 704-706 are formed from a cylindrical material with a plurality of slits defined along at least a portion of a longitudinal length of the arms 704-706, at least some of the slits separating adjacent windings. FIG. 8 is a schematic side view of one embodiment of a portion of a transducer 802 coupled to a portion of a stator 804. The transducer 802 includes a front face 806 from which acoustic signals can be emitted. The stator 804 includes windings disposed on arms, such as arms 808 and 810 separated from one another by longitudinal slits, such as slit 812 separating arm 808 from arm 810. Transducer conductors 814 electrically couple the transducer 802 to the control module (104 in FIG. 1). In at least some embodiments, the transducer conductors 814 extend along at least a portion of one or more of the slits (such as slit 812) extending along the longitudinal length of the stator 804. It may be an advantage to extend the transducer conductors 814 along one or more of the slits of the stator 804 to potentially reduce the diameter of the imaging core (see e.g., 408 of FIG. 4). In at least some embodiments, at least a portion of the stator 804 extends over at least a portion of the transducer 802. In at least some embodiments, the portion of the stator 804 extending over the portion of the transducer 802 extends such that radial return currents occur far enough distal to the magnet (424 in FIG. 4) to produce only negligible torque on the magnet (424 in FIG. 4). In at least some embodiments, the one or more transducers include a plurality of annuli. In at least some embodiments, at least one of the annuli resonates at a frequency that is different from at least one of the remaining annuli. FIG. 9 is a schematic transverse cross-sectional view of one embodiment of a transducer 902 with a plurality of annuli, such as annulus 904 and annulus 906. In at least some embodiments, the annulus 904 resonates at a different frequency than the annulus 906. wherein the only dependence of torque on the windings is through the product NI. For example, the same result is obtained regardless of whether 0.77 amps flow through windings with 8 turns, or 6.2 amps flow through windings with 1 turn. Heat generation will be the same as long as the total cross-sectional area of the windings is the same. For example, one line two mills high and sixteen mills wide heats equivalent to eight lines two mills high and two mills wide. Accordingly, in at least some embodiments, each winding includes a single turn. It will be understood that the rotating shaft of the motor may be used for other applications, including pumping blood, ablating tissue, providing propulsion to move or steer the distal tip, and the like or combinations thereof. 2. The catheter assembly of claim 1, wherein the imaging core further comprises a proximal hub disposed at the proximal end of the driveshaft, the proximal hub providing structural support proximal to the motor. 3. The catheter assembly of claim 1, wherein the mirror is tilted at an angle such that when an acoustic beam is emitted from the at least one transducer to the mirror, the acoustic beam is redirected in a direction that is not parallel the longitudinal axis of the magnet. 4. The catheter assembly of claim 1, wherein the at least one transducer conductor extends along at least a portion of at least one of the slots defined in the magnetic field windings. 5. The catheter assembly of claim 1, wherein the imaging core further comprises a sensing device, the sensing device configured and arranged for sensing the angular position of the magnet. 6. The catheter assembly of claim 5, wherein the sensing device is configured and arranged to control an amount of current applied to the magnetic field windings using the received angular position of the magnet. 7. The catheter assembly of claim 1, wherein the catheter has a transverse outer diameter that is not greater than one millimeter. 8. The catheter assembly of claim 1, wherein the magnet is disposed in a housing. 9. The catheter assembly of claim 8, wherein the housing is formed from a conductive material with conductivity high enough to levitate the magnet when the magnet rotates at an operational angular velocity. 10. The catheter assembly of claim 8, wherein the magnetic field windings are disposed on a thin film disposed over the housing. 11. The catheter assembly of claim 1, wherein the at least one fixed transducer is mounted to the magnetic field windings. 12. The catheter assembly of claim 1, wherein the magnetic field windings each comprise a single turn of a conductive material. 13. The catheter assembly of claim 1, wherein the mirror comprises a non-planar reflective surface. 14. The catheter assembly of claim 1, wherein the at least one transducer comprises a plurality of annuli, at least one annulus configured and arranged to resonate at a frequency that is different from at least one other annulus. 15. The catheter assembly of claim 1, wherein the mirror is disposed within sonolucent material having impedance that matches patient tissue impedance in proximity to the distal end of the catheter, wherein the sonolucent material is positioned to have an even weight distribution around the driveshaft. 16. The catheter assembly of claim 15, wherein the mirror is disposed within the sonolucent material such that the mirror and the sonolucent material form a cylindrically-shaped structure. 17.

I was prescribed 4 mg 3x a day. I asked my PCP for a prescription for this after doing some research myself. I never did see clear dosage guidelines so my Dr put me on the dose for allergies because use for migraines its off lable. I started it at 4 mg at night and had to go home sick (sleepy) from work the next day! So be very cautious when starting this medicine. I then started taking only 2mg each night and it has worked wonderfully. I had a migraine everyday for about 6 months before trying this and now not one for Months. I feel like I have my life back.

I'm curious, but still greatly happy about one thing. KayKay is Kendra, or a reboot of her. If she's not a reboot, I'm still happy that she didn't move on. It seemed like she wasn't ready to. And I have to say, the part of the game where you team up with her is one of the, hands down, most adorable in any blackwell series. It makes up for her tragic death in Epiphany, because she's become not only stable, but a normal kid again. Not sitting around playing piano because she has to and her parents marriage broke up. You've written a touching story again, Dave. It's not on the level of Blackwell, but you were working on that for years, and a branching/choice driven game is much harder to give punch to on Game 1, if there is to be a sequel. Don't get me wrong, it had punch, but not quite the tearjerking moments of Blackwell. This had more moments where characters showed off how awesome they were, and I genuinely enjoyed that, though. We had two or three in Blackwell (deception and epiphany, mostly), but it was a much more sombre game. I'm on my second playthrough now, but I can't wait for your next project. I don't mind waiting years for it. Another thing about Blackwell ties: early on, it is revealed that Kalash knew about an active Bestower in New York in the recent past, but declined to make contact. Obviously, this is supposed to be a reference to either Rosa or, less likely, Michael Cooper from Epiphany. Thing is, we know that Bestowing passes through bloodlines. The first one we know of in Rosa's line was the uncle of Jocelyn Contis, then Jocelyn, Patricia (apparently one of her parents was supposed to be Jocelyn's cousin), then Lauren and finally Rosa. Michael Cooper states that two of his older siblings were Bestowers with Madeleine as a Spirit Guide before him and that it quickly drove them to their deaths. Now, the reason to mention this is the question of how Jonah got to be a Bestower. Logan doesn't mention any other relatives that acted strange before Jonah did, so this raises the question: are they part of Rosa's line somehow (their spirit guide is the last regular spirit that Rosa and Joey sent on), or Michael's, or a third line? And why were the Unavowed aware of only one Bestower? An unrelated odd thing is how everybody is New York and immediate surroundings falling unconscious at once at the end of Epiphany seemingly had no noticeable impact on society. Nobody even mentions it happening, and while there is a 9/11 memorial on Staten Island, nobody put up a memorial to those killed when the vehicles they were travelling in crashed or they tumbled down the staircase they were walking on. I found a few, some more subtle than others. I thought Jordan seemed familiar then I realized he is the young clerk from the wired abacus. Tony Meltzers office (wish I have yet to gain access to) , most likely a relation to Paul and Charlie, though i can only send KayKay in and its too dark to see anything. - If you tell the General to take Harrison with him, she shoots herself in the head, only the screen fades to black, we hear a gunshot and splash, and when it fades in again she is gone from the boat. The game didn't shy away from showing gore and violence in other scenes, so what was the reason for the censorship? Simply too difficult to animate properly? - The player character looks the exact same regardless of origin. He or she doesn't even modify their outfit over the course of an entire year. Presumably this was done to save effort on sprites, but it still seems strange. married to a woman suggests that he is heterosexual, so it comes a bit out of left field that a male could easily seduce him. Was it the original plan to have the male seduce Jess instead? Did another playthrough where I killed as many opponents as possible. Turned out that only the Fae (hit by fireball from Eli and dissolves) and the Dragon (turns a golden colour and dissolves) get on-screen deaths, everyone else has a fade-to-black or dies offscreen (Jordon). Again, the inconsistency seems strange. Edit: I used Eli for all the missions, presumably Mandana will use her sword if Eli isn't present. I guess they wanted to save on animations again (fade-to-black means not having to show them burned by Eli's fireball or cut up by Mandana's sword), but it still doesn't explain Harrison's suicide. Another little thing: in the bartender prologue, the villain kills Jonah, then Sammy and presumably walks out of the bar. Wouldn't Logan be the most likely third victim, seeing as he was standing outside hoping for Jonah to come out and probably wouldn't have time to get out of range even if he ran away the moment he heard gunshots. Idk,maybe KayKay has entered the bar and saw what happened so she alereted Logan? KayKay only appeared to Logan sometime after Jonah died, it would not have been instantaneous. In Blackwell, Joey only appeared to Rosa after she had tossed her aunt's ashes in the river, so at least a few days passed between Lauren's death and Joey appearing before Rosa.

The reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for the recent string of church fires in East Texas has now been raised to $25,000. Clay Alexander, Tyler Bureau of the Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, said the reward has been raised from $10,000 to $25,000 in hopes it will help authorities stop the church arsons which began last year across the area. Alexander said the two fires that struck the Dover Baptist Church on Texas Highway 110 north and the Clear Springs Missionary Baptist Church Monday night along with two other break-ins at churches nearby were factors in the increase. “The fact is that the general public is how we are going to catch this person. We need any and all information that someone may have or think they have in regard to these fires,” he said. Alexander said the East Texas Church Fire Task Force is meeting this morning in Athens to discuss the case and share information. “We're all spread out so we are getting together to share all the information we have in all of these cases,” he said. The Monday night fires were the latest in a string of fires that have plagued the area beginning in October. Since Jan. 1, there have been a total of nine churches burn and investigators are chasing hundreds of leads in hopes of catching the suspect. Alexander said law enforcement and fire departments need to stress to their community churches to be vigilant and watchful over their properties to keep from becoming a victim. He suggested leaving lights on and if at all possible hiring private security or at the very least having church members take shifts to make sure someone was always at the church. Alexander stressed that if someone sees a person acting suspicious around a church to not confront them but instead call 911 immediately. “Do not confront this person. This person burning these churches is a serial arsonist and we feel anyone who would burn a church like this should be considered extremely dangerous,” he said. Anyone with information is asked to contact the task force at 903-675-0061 and 903-675-0062 or the ATF at 1-888-ATF-FIRE.

Solutré rock, where horses die. Really?! Mankind frequented the place since prehistory. We found here some stone tools dating back 18 000 to 15 000 BC, flints called "bay leaf". Excavations at the end of 19th century revealed a stack of bisons, stags, mammoths' bones, but especially horses' remains: two metres thick on 4000 square metres! You must know the myth of the horses gathered at the highest top of the rock by men, who frightened them. Beasts could only throw themselves into empty space. That's why we found all those bones at this precise place. Nonsense! We disproved this idea since ages. Palaeolithic men simply tore their preys limb from limb at the bottom of the rock!

Even though a computer age equals efficiency, spending most of your day sitting dormant in front of a computer screen can have more of an effect on the body than you think. Other than using our eyes to scan the screen, the most active part of the body is our hands and though it may not feel particularly strenuous our tendons and muscles muscles in the fingers and wrists might have something else to say. According to experts whilst at work we should be sitting up while typing and leaning back a little at the keyboard which allows the spine to stretch. If you don’t have the money to spend on a pricy office chair then get yourself a back support to stop you slouching and invest in a wrist guard or a supportive mouse pad which will give your wrists more support and have also been found to improve posture. If you are sitting in the same position for an extended period of time then get up for two minute every half and hour and take a little stroll around the office and have a good stretch from the tip of the toes to the finger tips. Finger exercises and wrist strengthening will increase the blood flow to your hands and tighten muscles in order to reduce pain. Apparatus such as a resistance band will work extensor muscles and will hone in on certain finger extensor muscles which provide the basis of the the finger strength in healthy hands. Even just a few exercises two times per week will help to improve your range of motion. Working from home: The ground rules The Diet Saboteur- Scales are for fish!

Just when I think that I have enough stock of stationary, quirky décor items, storage equipment and fashion accessories, MINISO opened yet another store. Yes, the fast-growing fashion brand is finally here in Connaught Place, New Delhi too. Guess Miniso is on a run! I believe nothing can ever come in between me and my shopping habits – especially when it comes to creative and fun products. Miniso is primarily a Japnese fashion and lifestyle brand which had been established in Japan in the year 2013. Presently, Miniso has more than 2000 stores across 60 countries and what’s news is that it plans to open more than 210 stores in India by the end of year 2018. The best part about Miniso is that the price starts from 150INR. Isn’t it a fair deal? Have you broken the data cable recently and looking to get yourself a new one? Miniso is probably the best cost-effective and durable solution for you. At least, that’s what I experienced. With products ranging from electronic gadgets to soft toys to stationary to beauty products to hand bags to kitchen utilities. You name it and you find it there, in the cutest form and at a very reasonable price. Coffee Mug with coaster and a spoon for 250INR. It looks perfect at my work station, had been looking for one for quite some time now and BINGO, this is the perfect match. Tooth brush Holder (With Vacuum) worth 150INR and I loved it so much and have already referred this to so many friends. 3. Documents Carrier Pouch with a Mini Pouch worth 150INR and this is one of the coolest things I got from Miniso I guess or may be my obsession for cool stationary says that. You can keep your important documents separately in that pouch and use the mini pouch to keep all those important bills or smaller pieces of paper. 4. Data Cable for 150INR, there are so many colors available for the data cables and I feel the best part about these cables other than the quirky colors is the length. 5. Huggable Soft Toy worth 1200INR but a really big and cute one. 6. Face Towels – A pair of these soft and nice towels worth 150INR. What are you waiting for? Go grab a shopping bag and head towards the nearest Miniso store!

Your height above the terrain and in relation to other aircraft is critically important. The altimeter is an amazing instrument that makes it easy to tell what your altitude is. There are 3 needles on this standard altimeter. The long needles pointing near the 7 moves the fastest and indicates hundreds of feet. The short needles pointing near the 1 indicates thousands and the thin needle pointing near 0 indicates tens of thousands. The altimeter pictured above is indicating 722 feet. The ten-thousands needle is indicating 0. The thousands needle is indicating that the altitude is between 0 and 1 thousand. The most precise needle, indicating hundreds is showing great than 700 feet. Each of the smaller marks indicates 20 more feet, and because it is slightly above the mark for 720 feet I am estimating the extra 2 feet bringing us to 722 feet indicated altitude. How does an altimeter work? The system needs a source of static pressure to operate. This is typically a small hole on the side of the aircraft with a tube leading to the back of the altimeter. As long as the hole is not facing directly into the oncoming air it will provide a good measurement of the air pressure outside. Note the “Aneroid” in the diagram below. This accordion-like vessel holds air pressure constant inside and expands as the air around it (static pressure from outside) decreases in pressure. As the aneroid expands it pushes an arm that turns the needles of the altimeter. The aneroid is often called a diaphragm. When descending the air from outside increases in pressure and the aneroid begins to contract back to its original size. This change is reflected on the altimeter. The Kollsman window displays the altimeter settings in inches of mercury. Simply turn the knob until the correct setting is indicated. In the altimeter picture at the top of this post, 29.93 inches of mercury is set in the window. It is common for new pilots to get confused by the missing hundredths place in the Kollsman window. The marks along the window indicate units of 0.02 inches of mercury. Schaefer Flight in your inbox! Success! You will receive a welcome email within the next few minutes. Please check your inbox.

FALMOUTH — The state Ethics Commission is investigating whether the Falmouth Town Democratic Committee acted as a political action committee during last month’s Democratic primary in Senate District 25. Steve Woods, who was defeated by a 2-1 margin by Cathy Breen in the June 10 primary, filed a formal complaint with the commission seeking the probe. Woods contends the Falmouth committee sabotaged his campaign and that its support of Breen crossed legal boundaries. The Maine Commission on Governmental Ethics and Election Practices voted 3-2 on June 25 to investigate. Woods singled out Pamela Fenrich, chairwoman of the Falmouth Democrats, in particular, as well as Breen, state Rep. Mary Nelson, and other members of the committee. In documents submitted to the Ethics Commission, he contends that the group acted unethically when it used a Voter Activation Network to send out an email endorsing Breen in the days before the election. Although the committee denied that allegation, it was the one element of Woods’ case that appeared to resonate with Ethics Commission members. Woods’ complaint also includes arguments that the support and influence the committee provided to Breen’s campaign, while not in the form of fundraising contributions, were worth tens of thousands of dollars. He said the meeting at which the group voted to endorse Breen was a sham, and notice of the meeting was given only to Breen’s supporters. And he asserts that Breen and her supporters illegally campaigned at the polls on June 10. “The various elements representing a conflict of interest are significant,” Woods said. Breen on Tuesday shrugged off concerns about the investigation. Woods, owner of a Falmouth-based marketing company and former chairman of the Yarmouth Town Council, ran unsuccessfully for U.S. Senate in 2012 and for governor in 2013. Last week, he released a year-old memorandum of understanding between himself and the Maine Democratic Party showing he agreed to drop out of the 2014 gubernatorial campaign when U.S. Rep. Mike Michaud entered the race. Woods said party leaders violated a neutrality clause in the agreement by supporting Breen in the primary. Despite his conflicts with Democrats both in Falmouth and at the state level, Woods this week called himself a “proud” Democrat. And he said he’s not looking for the secretary of state to overturn the primary election results. He said he sought the investigation because he wants to improve the political process. This story was edited on July 3 to reflect that Steve Woods is no longer chairman of the Yarmouth Town Council. He resigned from that post on June 11.

About Chicago Cycles and Motorsports My life has been motorcycles. From my first KX80 dirt bike to first my M Class the day I turned 18 on my VN750 to the day my mom wanted to throw me out for coming home on my first R-6 (and everything in between!), it’s more than my passion. It’s in my blood. I was lucky enough to get my start in this industry at Chicago Cycles on Western Avenue in late 2001. I stuck around when we sold the shop in 2004 and moved to a new location on Touhy Avenue. Many of our customers got to see my passion firsthand in helping everyone have the lifestyle only a motorcycle can bring. It was a sad day in 2010 when we had to close the doors on such a great Chicago landmark. I went on to run Fox River Harley Davidson. Being in a smaller store allowed me to really build a family style sales force as well as see how lives change on the back of a bike. Now that I’ve experienced both worlds, it’s allowed me to do something I’ve always talked about doing: Bring back Chicago Cycles and give customers great bikes at great prices with the feeling that you’re not just a number, but a member of the family. So stop in for a cold drink, a bag of popcorn and a familiar face. You won’t go wrong with Chicago Cycles & Motorsports. Hope to see you soon! —Big Ed Contact us now at 708-231-4096 for more details!

Animal Friends suggests that the Animal Protection Act should ban experiments on primates: It is prohibited to use farmed primates for experiments and import of primates and their young from the wild for experiments. Explanation: Primate research to date has shown that monkeys have the ability to solve complex problems, have complex ways of communicating and have excellent abilities of remembering past events and anticipating future ones. They use their intelligence primarily in order to shape and understand their relationships with others within their social groups, just like people. The experiments on monkeys showed that when they are prevented from the contact and support of the group, and when they are isolated in small cages, they experience mental breakdown and deep suffering, just like people. Even though no law says that they have to be used, it has become normal to test new medicine on them, as well as some other substances. They are being given lethal doses, most often by force feeding, in order to discover the impact on their bodies, even though their bodies react differently than humans' do. Primates are also used for neurological and other medicine and psychological research. Scientists deliberately damage parts of their brain in a rough attempt to mimic Parkinson's or Alzheimer's disease, then they force them to repeat various tasks, sometimes "motivating" them by confiscating their food or water. The monkeys are often infected with various diseases that they would never contract themselves, as they are not typical for their kind. Crucial physiological differences mean that by carrying out experiments on monkeys we are learning only about them, and not about us, so it's not a surprise that decades of experimenting on primates in so many areas have not resulted in finding any new medicine. Experiments on primates have no room in a modern, civilised society. Even though, as far as we know, there are no experiments being conducted on monkeys currently in Croatia, we think that the Act should prohibit experimenting on primates and prohibit the import of primates and their young from the wild for scientific experiments. Considering the necessity for the Animal Protection Act to protect the interest of animals and their rights to life without suffering and pain, we consider it essential for the Ministry of Agriculture to ensure, through legal provisions, wider animal protection by law and clearly ban experiments on primates. The proposal from Animal Friends for this change to the Animal Protection Act is from the year 2012, and it is a supplement of the same proposal which Animal Friends presented during the making of the Animal Protection Act in 2006.

Champion trainer Paul Nicholls has landed his first ever Grand National winner in a thriller of a race, as seasoned campaigner Neptune Collonges stayed on best of all to land National Hunt racing’s greatest prize, under jockey Daryl Jacob. 16/1 shot Sunnyhillboy, under jockey Richie McLernon, set off for home in the 2012 Grand National and looked for a time to be the likely winner, but Neptune Collonges stayed on bravely to land the race by the tightest winning margin in the race’s long history – a nose. Nicholls, the newest Grand National winning trainer, said: “He’s probably the best horse we’ve run in the race. “He’s got great form, he’s been placed in Gold Cups, he stays, he’s genuine and Daryl gave him a fantastic ride when you analyse where he went… it’s absolutely brilliant. The Grand National result effectively ends Nicky Henderson’s hopes of becoming Champion trainer, in what has been an intense battle, full of twists and turns. In winning the 2012 Grand National, Neptune Collonges becomes only the third grey horse to land the Aintree showpiece race, after The Lamb in 1868 and 1871, and Nicolaus Silver in 1961. Neptune Collonges was sent off a 33/1 chance, but the big story in the run up to the 2012 Grand National was the Ted Walsh trained Seabass, who was backed down from as big as 25/1 to be sent off as the 8/1 joint favorite under the talented Katie Walsh. There may have been serious stamina doubts about the horse, but Seabass and Katie Walsh put in a strong effort to finish third – the best ever performance for a female jockey. Last year’s Grand National winner Ballabriggs put in a gallant effort to finish sixth. Some sad news also emerged from the 2012 Grand National, as last month’s Cheltenham Gold Cup hero Synchronised fell at Becher’s Brook early in the race and did not survive the fall. The other fatality was According To Pete. Jockey Noel Fehily was taken to hospital with a suspected broken leg. April 14, 2012 - Offer valid as of date published. T&Cs apply.

March 30, 2018—For weeks, an oil spill has been poisoning a large site in the basin of the Magdalena, a major river in Colombia. A state-owned oil company, that conservationists say is responsible for the spill, reports that 550 barrels have been lost. But environmental activists place the volume at 24,000 barrels—almost a million gallons. The spill has also impacted the Sogamoso and Lizama rivers. Reports put animal deaths at 2,400. Over 1,200 animals have been rescued. Residents have lost their water supply. And some who depend upon fishing have lost their livelihood. Several people have been relocated or become sick due to oil contamination. Activists allege the oil company was too slow to react. Environment officials are investigating the incident.

On Thursday, April 4, the Forney Messenger hosted a Meet the Candidate forum in conjunction with the city’s upcoming mayoral and city council elections. As well as being open for the public to attend, the event was broadcast via a Facebook Live event on the Forney Messenger Inc. Facebook page. Through this broadcast, it became evident that many citizens are unaware of the City of Forney’s current park and recreation plan as well as the transportation plan. This article will address the City’s park plans, and readers can look forward to a future article that will highlight the City’s thoroughfare plans. For a rapidly growing community such as Forney, parks and recreational areas are highly important. Forney is comprised of a wide variety of people groups, but the majority of Forney residents enjoy outdoor activities regardless of their demographic. According to the National Survey on Recreation and the Environment, within the top ten outdoor activities for Texas residents are walking, outdoor family gatherings, attending outdoor sports events, viewing/photographing natural scenery, and picnicking. These are just a sampling of the options to which Forney residents already have access through our parks and recreation system.

The Blue Jays got to Yankees starter Sonny Gray in the second inning, as Devon Travis and Curtis Granderson each had RBI singled, followed by a three-run homer from Justin Smoak to make it 5-0. Gray was pulled after just two innings, his second straight dismal outing, as he allowed five runs on six hits and two walks, with four strikeouts, to fall to 5-7 with a 5.85 ERA. That was basically all Toronto needed, as the Yankees only got a pair of runs courtesy of Aaron Hicks, who hit a solo homer in the third and walked with the bases loaded in the fifth. This was the Yankees’ 10th straight victory and it completed a four-game sweep of Tampa Bay. The Yankees and Devil Rays were tied at two heading into the ninth inning, when the Yankees rallied against Roberto Hernandez. Chuck Knoblauch was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded, followed by a two-run single by Derek Jeter to make it 5-2, which was all for Hernandez. With Scott Aldred in for Tampa Bay, Tino Martinez ripped a three-run double, and he scored on a Jorge Posada single to make it 9-2. David Wells started this one for the Yankees, as he went five innings, allowing a run on four hits and three walks, with four strikeouts. Mike Stanton, who came on to get the final out of the eighth and stayed on for the ninth, earned the win to improve to 4-0 in 1998. Where they stand: The 2018 Yankees fell to 56-29 on Friday night and are now nine games off the pace of the 1998 Yankees, who were 65-20 through 85 games.

Five Hand Washing Myths to Scrub Away for Good! Try to tell the average individual they are not washing their hands correctly and chances are they will take great offense. Nevertheless, a study carried out in 2013 showed that a rather worrying 95% of people are in fact guilty of not washing their hands ‘properly’ – that being, in accordance with official guidelines. In terms of the reason why, much of it of course comes down to both ignorance and laziness, but at the same time there are millions of people who believe they are getting the job done properly, when they are in fact not. There are so many myths and untruths when it comes to hand washing that it is somewhat inevitable that many people will have fallen into inadequate hygiene regimes, without even realising it. Unfortunately, this just isn’t the case at all as plenty of scientific research has shown that it is important to scrub hands using soap for between 20 and 30 seconds for the job to be done properly. What must be remembered is that it is not only about removing visible dirt – it’s also about removing germs. One of the most widespread myths of all, it’s assumed by millions these days that just as long as hand sanitiser is used on a regular basis, hand washing practices can be put on a backseat. In reality however, hand sanitisers are supposed to be used as something as an additional supplement to hand washing, or in instances where hand washing is fundamentally impossible. Hand sanitisers are great at killing many germs and bacteria, but there are some they simply cannot tackle alone. Logic might tell you that hotter water would do a better job when it comes to cleaning hands – logic would also be wrong. Extensive studies have shown that there’s really no beneficial difference between washing your hands in tepid water and scrubbing them under painfully hot water. In fact, the fact that hot water is known to damage the skin and leave it more susceptible to attacks from germs and bacteria means that using water that’s too hot could in fact be counterproductive. Not true at all, for the simple reason that it is almost impossible to get literally 100% of the nasties off your hands while washing them in the first place, meaning that the more time they spend damp, the more time there is for the germs and bacteria to grow and spread. Faster drying means cleaner hands – it’s as simple as that. Last but not least, this is a subject that has been debated ever since hot air hand dryers were invented, though evidence suggests there’s actually little to no difference between the two whatsoever. Instead, it all comes down to how thoroughly the hands are washed in the first place and how quickly they are dried afterwards.

Sorry I don’t have a letter this week. The computer is jank and the drive isn’t working when I plug it in. It was a good week. The district leaders had a meeting so I was with the other district leader`s comp and he is brand new. We had to go contacting and it was really cool to see what I know in Spanish and what I need to improve on because I was the only one who talked since he was so new. Best part of Christmas was talking with the fam for sure! New Year’s was good. We had to go in early but some members brought us some food, which was so nice! Language is coming along. I feel like I can understand a lot, but speaking is the hard thing for me. I think I’m doing pretty good. I always want to be moving forward. I think I’m ok, but I just want to be better. I just need to keep trying and learning. Love you guys. Have a great week!

Being a Major League Baseball player is an amazing life filled with top of line equipment, chartered flights, and big paychecks. Being a minor league ball player seems slightly less enthralling. Being a Major League Baseball player is an amazing life filled with top-of-the-line equipment, chartered flights, and big paychecks. Being a minor league ball player seems slightly less enthralling. Yankees minor leaguer Jake Hernandez gave a glimpse into the life of a minor leaguer on Thursday when he tweeted out a check he received from the New York Yankees for 75¢. Hernandez later deleted the tweet, because it is never wise to give your home address or any banking information to the internet, even if you are showing everyone how you don't have much to steal. Being a minor leaguer does have its perks though, as Hernandez got to meet beloved Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez, which has got to be worth something.

Yesterday I went out for dinner with a friend, and on our way to the restaurant we stopped by a cute store called Lykke! And I bought something I never thought I would buy.. I would love to have these jackets in my closet! Got something in the mail today. A couple of weeks ago I decided to start a new project. I don’t think I’ve been even close to a sewing machine since jr. high, but let’s give it the old college try shall we? Top & shorts H&M blazer BikBok scarf Acne. I didn’t have time for outfit pictures yesterday, but this is what I wore. Spent the day with a friend and I had a really great time. I realized that I don’t do that often enough. Hang out with friends I mean. May sound weird, but I often distance myself from everyone and just spend time alone at home. That’s the way it’s been since July. A lot of things have happened and I guess I just shut everyone out. But things are going to change! At least I’m going to try. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not like I don’t like spending time with other people, but the last couple of months have been really hard for me and I like to deal with things alone. I’ve often experienced that sharing my problems with other people only makes things worse.. It’s supposed to be the other way around, right? Well, yesterday was a really good day and that made me realize that every day should be this good. Something need to change. Today I finally got the Acne Canada scarf in the color Wine Tasting <3 It’s PERFECT! Thank you Acne Studios in Bergen for shipping it to me. My mom loved it, even though she thought it was a little pricy. Oh well, it’s my money :-D So what do you think? I got something very pretty in the mail today, hihi! Guess what? Oh my God, I just have to tell you something. I went straight from work to Elixia today (no, I didn’t hit my head), and I beat my old record on the treadmill by faaar! I’ve never run for more than 5km but today I ran 10km. Sporty Spice! I never thought I could do it so I was SO proud of myself. I’m so happy about the presents my parents got me; Smashbox Photo Finish foundation primer, YSL Faux Cils mascara and YSL Touche Éclat. YSL Faux Cils is THE BEST mascara, no joke! And I can’t wait to try the Smashbox primer. I mean, Marie Claire did say that it’s one of the products that will change your life! It was also voted «Best of Sephora» in 2008, so my expectations are sky high. The pool area at the Luxor hotel in Vegas. After having the house all to myself for two whole weeks, it actually feels good to have my parents back home. Don’t get me wrong, I actually like being alone (haha, is that awful?), I’m just really sick of making my own dinner.. Seriously, I’ve had the same thing for dinner every day for a week now. My parents have been on vacation in Crete for two weeks. LUCKY! Makes me want to go on vacation right away. Who’s in? They did get me some things from the taxfree shop, though, so I guess I can’t complain. I’ll show you what I got tomorrow, promise! Dress H&M heels random store in LA. I decided to dress up today. Not that I’m going anywhere, but sometimes it’s fun to walk around the house in heels. Atleast I think so!

Started as a result of knowing that there are many beautiful reasons to visit this wonderfully immense country. A lot of things could be said about Moscow – that it’s the largest city in Russia, 12 million to be exact. Large enough to be it’s own country. Most people who live outside of Moscow say it’s another world all together. It has the same population of Norway and Switzerland combined. Or Portugal and Estonia. Or Finland and Denmark, it’s just damn big. This grand city also boasts the largest number of billionaires in the world (84 and counting). In 1904 a tornado touched down (unusual event for Russia) and destroyed several villages were Moscow is today. It destroyed trees that were hundreds of years old in the Sokolniki area. The largest library in all of Europe is in Moscow with over 43 million objects like maps, sheet music, sound recordings, rare books, dissertations, newspapers and the list goes on. But my favorite thing is the fact when you’re on the Metro heading toward the city center you will hear a male voice announcing the stations in Moscow Metro, and a female voice when leaving the city center. And then again, male voice when moving in a clockwise direction, and female when against it. Pretty Cool, да? I will leave with a couple of photos and posts I’ve done on Moscow to visit as well here, here, and here.

June 7th -2018 marked a very special moment for Muslims of Vancouver. On Thursday for the first time a sitting Premier visited a Mosque for iftar with the Muslim Community in BC. Iftar is a practice of the Prophet Muhammed (PBUH) when muslims break their day long fasting since dawn by eating and drinking at the sunset. Premier John Horgan was welcomed at the mosque by long time Vancouver residents who were part of the Mosque since the 6o’s like Br. Ihsan Malik and Br. Jamil Chaudhry. Br Shaukat Khan President of Pakistan Canada Association was glad to welcome the premier at the Al-Jamia Masjid. Vancouver City Councillor Andrea Reimer expressed her appreciation of being welcome by the mosque. At the call of Adhan- Muslim call to prayer the Premier joined the congregation by breaking the day long fast with a date and falooda- a milk drink served with Rooh Afza syrup which is a common drink at iftar tables. The Premier also took part in the Maghreb-sunset prayers.

Notice: The business of the enterprise must be non-limiting and non-prohibited in China. ² For enterprise which starts or terminates its business in middle of a financial yearthe above value should be calculated on base of the actual operating period. According to the tax regulation (2017) No.43, for Small Low-Profit Enterprise the tax rate of corporate income tax is reduced from 25% to 20%, and additionally only half of the profit before tax is subject to corporate income tax. The above tax incentive really helps reduce taxburden of Small Low-Profit Enterprise significantly. Small Low-Profit Enterprises can use the related tax incentive by the quarterly corporate income tax declaration in practice without any permission from tax authority, but they should provide the information about “number of employees, total assets” etc. on the corporate income tax declaration form and by the annual corporate income tax assessment.Usually there is no need for tax filing extra at tax authority.

I almost forgot to mention about the new Nvu extension: Site Manager Extender 0.2, but a quick glimpse on Daniel's post prompted me that it deserves an entry. The extension mainly adds (a little bit of) much needed functionality to the inbuilt site manager. I'm an newbee to Nvu so thanks for making the tutorial xpi's available. What I don't understand is how I can access the tutorials once I install them using tools/extensions/install and then restarting nvu. How can I view the tutorials? My email is rolfecms@gmail.com and thanks for your help!

EDISON TOWNSHIP, N.J. — Racist campaign mailers attacking two Asian school board candidates and demanding to “Make Edison Great Again” are circulating throughout a New Jersey township, but so far no one is taking credit. Edison Township residents received the anonymous mailers Wednesday, NJ101.5FM reported. The mailers evoke the campaign slogan of President Donald Trump while claiming Chinese and Indian residents are “taking over” the town. School board candidates Jerry Shi and Falguni Patel are featured on the campaign mailers with “deport” stamps on their pictures. The ads are in violation of state election law, because they do not identify who paid for them. Patel, a Democratic committeewoman and immigration lawyer, said she’s disgusted by the pamphlets. Edison Township has a large Asian-American community, many of them Chinese and Indian immigrants. More than 45 per cent of Edison Township was born abroad, and about a quarter of the township was born in India. Democratic Councilwoman Sapana Shah said that community relationships have improved in recent years, but she’s often overheard racially motivated complaints around the township.

I once had to work with someone who called themselves a leader. They had an innumerable set of poor leadership skills. For this reason I am immensely grateful I got the chance to work with them because I learned so much. I learned more than almost any book I've ever read on the topic. One of the traits this person possessed was that everything in their eyes was a doomsday crisis. She was consistently unstable in her ability to manage things not going well, from the smallest to the largest deviations from target. Her reaction was the same regardless of the real impact of the issue and everything turned into an emotional fire drill with endless meetings, phone calls, and what she called "remediations." This leadership style was demoralizing for the team. Not only that, eventually, no one knew what were actually the important problems to work on. And then finally no one really believed or respected her. This is bad "leadership". As a leader there should be nearly nothing that can rock your boat. Your even keel and level headed approach to solving problems is what your team needs. Your team will draw strength from your strength and your strength is demonstrated most when you are faced with undesirable situations from the smallest to the largest. While you are not crying wolf share this everywhere and sign up for a weekly short post to bolster your leadership skills.

Airtel is offering the data roll over option for their broadband subscribers which allows them to carry forward upto 1000GB of unused data to the next month. Bharti Airtel has announced a ‘Data Rollover’ facility for its home broadband customers. With this perk, all unused monthly data will be carried forward and added to the data benefit of the next billing cycle. Airtel customers can accumulate up to 1000 GB data on their broadband account, which will be automatically carry forwarded or “rolled-over” to the next month. Users can also track their data usage and balance using the MyAirtel App. The company has said that customers will need to check if they are eligible for the data roll-over offer on the MyAirtel App. Airtel claims that it has 2.1 million home broadband users across the country, and boasts of being the second biggest ISP for home networks. Airtel introduced the data rollover offer for their postpaid subscribers back in July this year. The users can accumulate a maximum of 200GB under the offer and it is only valid for the base data plan that the consumer has.

You knew it was coming. It was only a matter of time. The more lopsided the final scores were getting, the more likely this scenario was going to play out. I’m referring to the Cleveland Cavaliers getting complacent, assuming all they had to do was roll the balls onto the court and they’d be victorious. We saw it an infuriatingly high amount of times in the regular season, but there didn’t seem to be any evidence of it so far this playoffs.

Strengths that Google can leverage to keep Facebook away from the lion’s share of Ad revenues. You would also look out for enemy’s army weak points and would create weapons strategy to exploit them . Google has immense advantages still available to it because it is the ruler of an empire and a defender. Facebook is making far too many mistakes. In my opinion it has become complacent in area such as privacy and spam, which is probably the most important to an end user. The privacy issues at Facebook are inspiring tonnes of articles on how Facebook is invading the privacy of the its user. Even though I said that Facebook has probably more advantage with privacy than Google because of its business model it is negating the advantage. Read here for such an article on privacy crisis. Too many privacy issues and inept handling by Facebook is really playing havoc with Facebook’s brand image. People are scared to share personal information on Facebook with friends because of the privacy concern. This is a direct threat to Facebook’s main business ( of attracting more users to its fold). Ad targeting in Gmail is fully automated, and no humans read your email in order to target advertisements or related information. This type of automated scanning is how many email services, not just Gmail, provide features like spam filtering and spell checking. Ads are selected for relevance and served by Google computers using the same contextual advertising technology that powers Google’s AdSense program. Facebook has been constantly attacked by malwares, spams and their threats are growing everyday. Unless Facebook really correct this issue , I believe a new product “TightBook” with water tight privacy features may replace “Facebook”. Already “Path” with its tighter policy controls and limited number of friends is proving a good Facebook rival. Maybe its time for Google to buy Path and develop this as weapon against Facebook. In Summary here is how I think, Google can win over Facebook. Buy or create a program similar to Facebook with a “Different brand name” ( not Google) or under a different company ( cannibalize). Who wins the Ad revenue race in the long run -> Facebook / Google? In terms of search, there’s no doubt that Google is still king. However, Facebook search is geared more on the exactness of the query. This is why it’s troubling to Google. No surprise they launched Google plus. In the end, people are going to prefer the “Facebook” platform for search. It’s just a matter of time. i truly agree with u.Anything which has got human touch will be more successful.We r social beings and isolation is not what we need.Facebook helps us to connect with people worldwide bt a powerful networking site like google would not let it go so easily .Recently i heard that google is going to commence a new networking site to compete with facebook. The race has already started. Google has launched a product called as Google plus. It is going to be interesting for sure. Let us see. Its great to have you here. Keep coming back. A big ship takes time to sink. We can replace Google with MS and FB with Google and see what happened to Microsoft.It was so much powerful and had so much clout. Now what is it , unable to bring out even an improved OS? Technologies are disruptive and the changes they bring in can turn around situations were quickly. If Google was a croc and FB was a frog then why did Google needed to crackle like a frog. Something suspicious here? It is a testament to the fact that FB is threat because Google has copied FB like idea and now call its own. Its too early to say demise of FB. Till now FB has 750 + m subscriber and Google managed to get only 10+ m . Not much of a damage to FB. I see the +1 as a way for users to counter the paid results – BUT, we all know that most +1 votes will come from users who want +1 for themselves, have a solid network of similarly motivated friends, and can get those friends to click things on request. The results will, therefore, be skewed. It would have been better if search engines had remained neutral and let people slug it out with useful content and organic “popularity.” I can’t go so far as to say they’ve made themselves obsolete, but I find the results less useful than they were a decade ago. I’ve often argued for a mandatory “Why do you like/dislike this?” upon voting. It’s hard enough to get people to click little stars and “Like” icons, and reciprocity makes it about as meaningful as a nod to a stranger or a passing “hey, how’s it going?” while you keep walking, not really caring about the answer. That’s not “social.” Granted, the occasional passing “Like” is a nicer way than “Poke” to say, “Hey, can’t stop to chat now, but wanted to let you know I was thinking of you and noticed you posted something mildly interesting…” There’s value in that – sometimes, that’s all it takes to get a “blah” day off to a smiling start. But when overused in the meaningless sense, it means nothing. No one could have put it better than you. I find it difficult to understand + 1 at this point in time. Is Google so much troubled by its own result set that it needs people to tell if they like it. As with any system, if it is built into their search result, it can be misused and if not, what is the point ? Like is a nice way to really add your opinion to a discussion or a video. But the concept is taken and no one would be able to reinvent it. As they say “Sorry but the seat has been taken “. Never ask a creative writer silly captcha questions like, “Is fire hot or cold?” That’s just…asking for trouble. When I use a search engine, I do not WANT the “human touch.” That should come from the pages that are indexed, and I have felt a bit betrayed ever since search engines started accepting payment for better placement, or more hits, or whatever. They are becoming less relevant to me as time goes by. I want technical excellence and Boolean search logic from the robotic spiders that crawl our tangled human web. For social interaction, I want a social tool – I want one that facilitates real, meaningful, human connections and interactions. I have been disappointed in Web 2.0’s insistence on relying on middle-school tactics like ratings and rumors, as if we cannot think for ourselves or express a coherent thought that cannot be summed up by one to five stars or a “Like” button. I want connections that are easy to find, based on my search criteria – and easy to lose when they babble nothing but numbers and stats and self-aggrandizement, but add nothing new to the conversation. If someone’s happy talking to themself all day, I’m happy to let him. Google, Facebook…another pretty face will come along, one day, and they will be largely forgotten. Been to Alta Vista, lately? The captcha is not for picking up your brain ;). Its just to test people if they know this much as well( seeing the cramming in school , people would believe fire is cold :). I think you raised a very pertinent point here. Your demand from search engine and social networks are clear and distinct. While a search engine should provide us with unbiased data based on multiple “mathematical ” factors , social interactions should be driven by end user. I think that is the perfect positioning and it is the place where Google is having a problem. According to me adding +1 to the pack is an illogical step. Also facebook is having so much trouble addressing privacy issues that now it is suffering from declining user base. The likes buttons should also be made meaningful where you are forced to tell why do you like something(wherever possible). Thanks for being a part of discussion and hope to see you back. It’s interesting, Ashvini, that we see this same old scenario that’s played out for centuries unfold in the internet age. I still remember just a decade ago when Yahoo and Microsoft were the kings of the online world, but now they’re quickly becoming irrelevant. Who would have thought that some geeky kid would launch The Facebook in his dorm room and have it be the powerhouse it is today. There will always be some kid out there with a dream we haven’t thought of that will become a roaring tiger poised to take on the latest internet giant. Oh Yes. It is the same old story of war told in a new settings of internet world. Always the old order is challenged( and often replaced) by the the new order . I am very keen to see how it turns out. I recently read a news about Google’s failed attempt to partner with Facebook. I guess they’re already seeing the big threat from Facebook. Advertisers seem to be realizing the effectiveness of putting their ads on Facebook. Great post and I love the military analogy. And despite some of the other comments I like you don’t see this as a short term war. Facebook may level off but go away that is a very strong statement. Like you say the human touch it really couldn’t even be conceived until facebook came along and people are loving it. As a matter of fact it’s not a novelty anymore as much as a mainstream medium for people to connect and the more mainstream it becomes look out Google! I think it will get real interesting when facebook introduces it’s own search engine I believe that will happen someday soon and then we will see. By the way Ashvini you write some great post this is not an affiliate link I would not do that but you should take advantage of this great blogging community I am apart of called TSA http://www.tsamastery.com/community. Today I heard the news about Eric Schimdt ruing the fact that Facebook did not partner with Google. So here Google made a great decision to make Facebook an ally but FB turned it down . Interesting isn’t it. Let us see how it goes . I really appreciate your telling me about the community. I am going to join today and search for you there :)). Facebook is temporary, Myspace is renovated, LinkedIn moving to high, Twitter is stable at 9th position, orkut lost fame, and slowly facebook also comes down. I am reminded of the times when people used to say “Google” cannot beat Microsoft. Times have changed so much. It is too early to dismiss Facebook though Google is still like a startup. Let us see what happens next . Fighting for internet supremacy that is the idea but we will have to wait and see Ashvini and with advertsiing i think Google has a better chance as Google proves to be evil when it comes to adsense. I would agree on many points in this, though I am a personal fan of both I think they both should be using their strengths rather than pitching against each other. Facebook is slowly dominating many of realms it still remains primarily as a social networking tool. But then, to each its own! Welcome to my blog and thanks for commenting. What you have said is so true. They need to work on their own strengths. However the main contention area is the ad revenue which will witness more fight in the years to come. I think they are 2 different beasts though. The battle isn’t for the users, whenever we need information we search on google, whenever we want to talk to our friends we (use the phone or meet them) use facebook. But the battle is for the advertisers. Like you said facebook is a lot easier to understand and set up. Google takes skill, knowledge and a lot more work. But once you learn google they have more traffic and a very sofisticated algorithm that rewards the persistant. I don’t know who will win, but it is like a dragon fighting a titan. I agree with what you have said. The battle is tough and it is going take a lot of twists and turns before winner is decided. One more outcome could be that they never cross each other paths or develop new ways of revenue making. Let us enjoy the battle of two giants. @Daniel M. Wood: I agree: Facebook and Google are battling not over users, but advertisers. The two are not quite apples and oranges, since each is either trying to or has the potential to integrate what the other does best (search, social). Granted, Facebook will never rule search; Google however may catch up to social. In the next 3-5 years, I predict Facebook will stop growing. It’s only natural that other players will come on the social scene to challenge Facebook. If you think about Facebook’s birth, it was new, fresh, and cool because it was for students, namely college students. It was exclusive: you had to have a .edu email address. When those students’ parents and teachers started joining, when they graduated college and found their coworkers friending them, the network changed. The crowd may demand a new cool kids’ club when Facebook gets too saturated with the general. I agree with many point bro, anyway I have to make some consideration. I often hear “I’m off from fb for 1, 2, or more days” more often than first. Also, I often see many of my fb friends profile that are not updated for many days. Also there’s need to consider the spam factor which fb is full. These can be all important signal that make see a change of trend by users and that could lead a declining interest over facebook.

Cerebral visual impairment (CVI) is a major cause of low vision in children due to impairment in projection and/or interpretation of the visual input in the brain. Although acquired causes for CVI are well known, genetic causes underlying CVI are largely unidentified. DNAs of 25 patients with CVI and intellectual disability, but without acquired (eg, perinatal) damage, were investigated by whole-exome sequencing. The data were analyzed for de novo, autosomal-recessive, and X-linked variants, and subsequently classified into known, candidate, or unlikely to be associated with CVI. This classification was based on the Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man database, literature reports, variant characteristics, and functional relevance of the gene. After classification, variants in four genes known to be associated with CVI (AHDC1, NGLY1, NR2F1, PGAP1) in 5 patients (20%) were identified, establishing a conclusive genetic diagnosis for CVI. In addition, in 11 patients (44%) with CVI, variants in one or more candidate genes were identified (ACP6, AMOT, ARHGEF10L, ATP6V1A, DCAF6, DLG4, GABRB2, GRIN1, GRIN2B, KCNQ3, KCTD19, RERE, SLC1A1, SLC25A16, SLC35A2, SOX5, UFSP2, UHMK1, ZFP30). Our findings show that diverse genetic causes underlie CVI, some of which will provide insight into the biology underlying this disease process.

From having french cuisine to modern Italian cuisine recently, life has been pretty interesting for me. Pizzolo Restaurant serves Italian fares ranging from appetisers to desserts and main course in between. Located at the new revamped Atria Shopping Gallery in Damansara Jaya, I've had the opportunity to dine at this Italian eatery last week. Check out what we had below. The eatery itself had a really bright coloured frontage, with a menu that showcases Pizzolo's creative and innovative creations. They do not serve your usual traditional Italian fare, going the modern contemporary route instead. Inside the decor gives a comfortable vibe, warmly lit and pleasing to the eye. Do remember to check out their wine selections on the mezzanine while you're there, where a carefully curated selection of over 60 types of affordable varieties are available. We kicked off our meal with salad, the Chilled Tomato, Watermelon and Feta salad which is marked as chef's recommendation. I find it to be a refreshing appetizer as the creamy feta cheese gave a contrasting flavour and texture to the fruity watermelon cuts. If anything, the sour dressing did somewhat whet our appetite for the subsequent dishes. Yummy seared scallops served on a plate of fresh salad greens, with accompanying avocado tartar sauce, now this is one great starter. On top of each of the tasty fresh pan-seared scallops were a dash of black tobiko and orange ebiko roe, going really well together. A generous serving of Italian Clam Chowder was served next. Inside the chowder I could taste the texture of the clams as they came in a bigger than usual size. Pretty good stuff, going well with the accompanying buttered toast. Spoilt for choice, we get to choose from eight main pasta dishes off Pizzolo's menu. Diners can have different variant of pasta types such as spaghetti, cannelloni, linguini, fettuccini, ravioli, lasagna just to name a few. We tried their Sea Clams Linguini, which had a tangy, refreshing taste. The seafood aglio olio pasta was a perfect fit with the sea clams. Hand made, Pizzolo's range of Signature Handmade Pizzas were specially prepared in a gas fired oven to give that perfect crispy golden crust with generous amounts of meat and toppings. I really like the Roast Lamb Shoulder Pizza as there were lots of juicy lamb chunks, onion rings and fresh herbs to give out that intense delicious flavour. Love the crispy thin crusts used. The South Texas Barbecue Chicken pizza offers a delectable combination of smoky BBQ sauce drizzled over chicken meat, black olives, red capsicum, green capsicum and red chillies. Not my perfect choice of ingredients but it does give lots of strong flavours. Good for those who like their pizza to have that smoked taste. We ended our rather filling meal over at Pizzolo with some sweet dessert in the form of the Italian Crepe With Whipped Cream & Artisanal Ice Cream. Not a bad ending, love the ice cream, not so the crepe. Do check them out the next time you're in the vicinity of Damansara Jaya. Located inside the Atria Shopping Gallery's side entrance, you can't miss the huge colourful signage of Pizzolo Restaurant, serving modern Italian cuisine. Quite creative food. I hope it taste as good as it looks! Love your shot of the linguini...and the chef too! My girl loves Italian. We have on every nice place here. The food presentation is superb! love to drop by to taste their scallops and clam linguini. have't eat my lunch, so this post really makes me hungry. Love to try it some day. Drooling.. the food looks so superbly yummy! Wanna go eat.. It's an interesting restaurant concept, from the environment to the food presentation. You are making me drooling! OMG.. the food look so good!! That seared scallops just makes me hungry! The restaurant looks so colorful and the food is super tempting to me!! Scallop and the Roast Lamb was my favorite!! I like the environment, the food looked yummy!! The restaurant look so classy from your picture. The price are slightly higher compared to others, but worth a try. Yum feta in food equals great, very Italian feel, lots of options to choose from. You can never go wrong when it comes to Italianese. Very classy environment.

Cisco has announced it will buy the online conference provider WebEx Communications for $3.2 billion, to sell collaboration tools to small and medium businesses. Cisco will use WebEx's technology services to build a stronger combination of communications and collaboration platforms for business customers, said Cisco chief development officer Charles Giancarlo. WebEx markets its technology as a subscription-based service that lets companies hold real-time or asynchronous data conferences over the Internet, and share Web-based documents and workspaces, using its WebOffice hosted applications suite . The boards of directors at both companies have approved the deal, so the merger now has to clear antitrust regulations in the US and abroad. Cisco said it expects the deal to close by the end of the fourth quarter.

I don’t know how we even got a loan on our house. I’m pretty sure it’s FHA, but there were all kinds of things wrong with it. One specific problem is exposed, unpainted wood around the frame of the garage door. That’s bugged me ever since we moved in, but I never did anything about it. Now that the facing above the garage is all fresh-painted, though, it stands out even more. So when I got home from work yesterday I took down the weather-stripping, scraped loose the old, gloppy, tearing caulk along the edges, and scraped and sanded all the old paint job to prep it for new paint. I didn’t actually do any painting, though, because I had to get cleaned up for dinner. D–‘s mom came into town (they’re heading to Texas for a family reunion over the weekend), so we all went out to dinner at Texas Roadhouse. Afterward, they came back to the house and she played with AB. I spent most of the evening running back and forth to the office, still setting up my newly rebuilt computer. Our guests left around 9:45, and T– pointed out that we had a new My Name is Earl and a new Office to watch. I pointed out that, now that file server was back up, we had a lot of stuff to watch, but she wanted to watch the new stuff. We finished the Office opener, and then headed to bed around 10:30.

The revenue increase from 2.96 billion rand to 3.13 billion rand is attributable to a three per cent increase in the average yield and a two per cent growth in occupancy for the six months ended 31 December 2014. Earnings per share (EPS) and headline EPS rose from 34.3 cents to 37.6 cents for the period. [DATA COM:Comair LTD.] said that while the declining oil price benefitted the group, the nine per cent average weakening of the US dollar- rand exchange rate affected 48 per cent of costs. Also, the cash balance for the company stood at 688 million rand in December 2014 after 149 million rand was used to purchase five Boeing 737-400’s while 73 million rand was used for early settlement of aircraft and simulator funding. Comair explained that the domestic passenger market remains below the 2008 peak volume and it does not anticipate any near-term recover in local consumer spending. “While -the decline in the oil price has provided welcome relief, we are of the view that it will increase in the second half of the year. The current swap price in the market for the 12 months ahead is averaging 65 to 75 US dollars per barrel, indicating market expectations of a recovery in the price of oil,” added the airline. The group believes that the ongoing upgrades to its fleet remains the best solution to the expected recovery in the fuel price along with improved customer propositions and advanced technology-driven operating processes to maintain a healthy lead over competitors. “Our travel business, flight training facility, catering business and airport lounges also show opportunities for further growth,” continued the statement.

Hi everyone.... I just had an idea when looking over other ppl's thoughts on this whole age of Sammy Jo thing.. I guess the network will be aiming the new series at a younger demographic, trying to reel in their desired audience while keeping us old schoolers involved... so how about this as a possible idea. In a Trey Callaway interview he said something about anything being possible in the Quantum Leap universe as far as Sammy Jo suiting the Jennifer Garner 'Alias' age group. And this whole thing of Sam meeting Sammy Jo on her school playing field? We've allll figured out that she's going to be 'too old' to cater to the Alias crowd.. So, I think it's plausible that a younger Sammy Jo goes looking for her father. That she gets drafted for the job at an earlier period in her life than where she'd be at 20 years after we lost Sam (this 20 yrs after thing being another term connected to the series) and bought upto the future.. Ok. Maybe a ridiculous idea, maybe not... but a fun one to think about . I look forward to any comments! I had never thought of the corporate sponsor before...good idea with that! Very true...since I don't happen to see many parallel hybrid super computers around. I'm resurrecting this post since i wasn't here when it was started, and I wanna contribute . Talking about the 1/2 sister thing, thats really plausible. In "The Leap Back" where Sam and Al switch and Sam is back in the present, Donna could have had a daughter (named Samantha or something to keep the "Sam Beckett" name going in the movie/show) after her and Sam's night together in that ep. Let me calculate this...Samantha would've been born in June of 2000. If the new movie (which may not happen anymore) is 20-25 years after they lost Sam. The "Samantha" character would fit that Alias demographic. Of course, she would inherit Sam's brains, just as Sammy Jo did, so she could have the same schooling history as her father. She would be the one to develop a new theory of her own to travel in time in order to find her father and bring him home. Samantha from "The Leap Back" would be the new leaper, Al would remain the observer as he did with Sam, and Sammy Jo could replace Gooshie, since we lost Dennis Wolfberg 11 years ago. That's the seemingly perfect scenario in my opinion. Very very interesting stuff this. I also love the idea of Sam having anouther daughter, Samantha Beckett. I installed a skylight in my apartment.... The people who live above me are furious! another sam. my God and we thought after sam beckett got a pulitizer for waiting for godot there would be no other becketts. forgot to tell you being i'm 25.5, i'll be searching for sam, ok? just joking. wish i could sometimes. he's such a sweet guy, too bad he's fictional and second, taken by donna. Logan: I already have a job. David North: Lumberjack? Eighteen grand a year? Logan: Eighteen five. And I haven't had to kill anybody. Logan: Right about now I am.

It is not uncommon for employment contracts to contain restrictive covenants such as non-compete or non-solicitation clauses. Non-compete clauses typically prevent an employee from working for an employer’s competitors after a work relationship has ended; whereas a non-solicitation clause prevents an employee from contacting a former employer’s clients in order to do business with them. Non-competition clauses are usually only enforceable in exceptional circumstances, as they are generally considered to be too restrictive. Non-solicitation clauses are preferable as they can typically provide the protection needed by an employer without infringing on the rights of an employee. While the difference between a non-solicitation and a non-compete clause may seem simple, the line can sometimes become blurred. The Ontario Court of Appeal recently addressed this blurring of lines. One month after the Employee left work at the Employer to start at the New Agency, the Employer brought an action claiming, amongst other things, the Employee was in breach of the employment contract’s non-solicitation clause by soliciting business from four former customers of the Employee, something the New Agency encouraged her to do. Employers should be aware of what types of restrictive clauses they include in their employment contracts, if any. Where such clauses are included, their scope must be reasonable and carefully drafted, or they may be struck out or may be unenforceable if a dispute over the language of a contract arises. If cautiously worded, non-solicitation clauses may be upheld and sufficient to protect an employer’s proprietary interest. In contrast, even if well-drafted, a non-competition clause is generally warranted only in exceptional circumstances. Overly broad clauses are less likely to be enforced. The employment lawyers at Grosman Gale Fletcher Hopkins LLP have years of experience drafting and reviewing employment contracts. We can help create an employment contract that is straight-forward, clear and more likely to be upheld in Court, should litigation ensue. Contact us online or by phone at 416-364-9599 for any workplace related questions, including questions about employment agreements and restrictive covenants such as non-compete and non-solicitation clauses. Employees should only enter into an employment contract with both eyes open, in a fully informed manner, and only after obtaining independent legal advice from a knowledgeable employment lawyer. The consequences of signing a contract without a lawyer reviewing it can be significant and grave. Employees should always have an experienced lawyer review any proposed contract, before signing, particularly one containing restrictive covenants. The employee should be fully aware of his/her rights and any potential restrictions that may attach following the dissolution of an employment relationship. The lawyers at Grosman Gale Fletcher Hopkins LLP have been advising employees for more than 30 years. We have reviewed thousands of employment contracts and have helped employees protect their rights in the workplace. If you would like us to review your employment contract, or any other document that your employer or prospective employer would like you to sign, contact us online or by phone at 416-364-9599.

I Wikipedia everything. It’s a helpful point of reference for any subject at hand and makes me an instant expert on just about anything. So naturally, when I first gained a curiosity about the wines of Long Island, step one was to see what Wiki had to say. Turns out though, it’s not much. Afforded little more than a paragraph along with a mere two links to sub-subjects given an even smaller nod, there wasn’t a whole lot to be gleaned. As someone who’s taken more than my fair share of Jitney rides out east, I knew that couldn’t be it. We always pass beautiful rolling fields packed with grape vines. Every wine bar in Manhattan even seems to have an offering from its nautical neighbor! Exit out of the Wiki page and fast forward eight years, several fancy certifications and a whole lot of research, I’ve learned quite a bit about this burgeoning American wine region. Only 40 years young, some producers on Long Island are already competing with wineries elsewhere in the globe that have been producing wine for centuries. Beyond that, it has an extremely unique terroir — terroir is a concept that celebrates different expressions in a wine that are derived from differences in the land where the grapes are grown. The land here has soils formed in a glacial outwash from the retreat of the Wisconsin-age glaciers of 10,000 years ago. That is important because the ability of this unique soil to naturally drain excess water while also moderating a water-holding capacity allows the vineyards to simultaneously control and limit the impact of summer rains and droughts all while maintaining quality. That is really good when a severe drought can be immediately followed by torrential rains like what California is experiencing right now. The climate on Long Island can be pretty gnarly. It is the most extreme kind of maritime with the Atlantic Ocean to the south and the Long Island Sound at a maximum north to south distance of 23 miles — in many cases, it’s less. This means there can be months of drought or rain so relentless it rots an entire vineyard. As if that isn’t enough to contend with, there are always the hurricanes! Luckily for those curious to learn more, Eileen M. Duffy, the editor of Edible East End and Edible Long Island magazines, turned her interest for Long Island wine into a true love affair. With her new book, “Behind the Bottle: The Rise of Wine on Long Island,” she guides us through everything we need to know about Long Island. Profiling owners, winemakers, and personalities from around the country and the world, Behind the Bottle is a fun and intriguing look at the people who have made Long Island into one of the hottest wine regions in the country. Ok. So they make wine on Long Island. Where exactly does it come from? We all know it’s a big area and typically the first thoughts are of beaches and share houses. Is there a particular region that’s best for growing grapes? The majority of the vineyards are on the East End of Long Island with a concentration on the North Fork, both historically agricultural land. When the first wine grapes were planted in 1973, most of the North Fork was still being farmed. The soil is rich and the weather is moderated by the surrounding waters. What got you so interested in Long Island wine? I was always into food and wine. The Long Island wine thing started in the late ’90s which was when I moved out to the East End. And started in earnest when I began writing for a community weekly on the North Fork in 2003. It must be an interesting place to make wine. What are three things most people don’t know about wines from out on the eastern shores of Long Island? Even though Long Island Wine Country is over 40 years old, people are still discovering that we make wine out here. So that’s a big one. The other two are that it’s available in all price ranges and styles. And it goes without saying, it’s also really good. What was the process of writing the book like? Were you able to taste a lot of local wine offerings? How did you balance working on two magazines and a book simultaneously? Luckily, my magazine job keeps me tasting local wine all the time. It’s my beat, what can I say? To write the book, I set up interviews with the winemakers, we spent about two hours together each, and then I was able to write from my notes and from my 10 years of experience. I’m not sure how I balanced it really. I just kept plugging away. What was your professional journey like leading up to writing for Edible East End and Edible Long Island magazines, and when did your passion for food and beverage begin? The food thing definitely started in my mother’s kitchen. She loved to eat and try new recipes and she let me cook whatever I wanted. It was kind of an after-school activity. Lots of baking. And then one of my first jobs was in a restaurant. I worked in fine dining restaurants as a server or a manager right through college and graduate school (where I studied English). And then in 2002 my ex and I bought Six Corners — a wine shop in Westhampton Beach. What are some of the best wines Long Island produces? I want to make sure I’m ordering right at my dinner spot tonight! I don’t have favorites and would never identify one wine as the best, because it’s easy to find a Long Island wine for any occasion. Looking for something fresh and beachy? We’ve got affordable sauvignon blanc and rosé (the 2014 First Label Sauvignon Blanc from Raphael recently got 92 points from the Wine Advocate and the 2014 Bouquet Rosé got 90 points). Want to try some quality merlot to go with some Long Island Duck? Check out what the members of the Long Island Merlot Alliance are producing, and merlot from the rest of the region. You can get a drink-now wine like the 2013 or 2014 Bridge Lane Red (available in a box that holds four bottles for $40) or step it up a bit with the 2010 Nine Barrels Reserve Merlot from Shinn Estate Vineyard. That wine will also benefit from years in the cellar. What is your favorite Montauk restaurant dish and which wine would you pair it with? If I’m in Montauk, I head directly for Duryea’s Lobster Deck. I love the relaxed atmosphere and you can bring your own wine. I love high acid chardonnay with a bit of oak, or no oak, with lobster. Good choices are the deliciously fresh 2014 Mattebella Chardonnay made by Eric Fry of Lenz or any of the elegant oaked chardonnays from Sherwood House. Winemaker Gilles Martin’s French roots really shine through. What are some of the key things to keep in mind for pairing food and wine? First of all, there are not right and wrong answers. Drink what you like, put ice in it, whatever. Winemakers don’t care, they are just happy you’re drinking wine. But there are some pairings that really sing. Although some will argue with me, as I said above, I love a non-California style chardonnay with lobster. The acid really cuts through the amount of butter I like to put on it. If you feel like eating something heavy in cooler weather get some heavier wine with more tannins and more oak. If you feel like having something lighter in warmer weather… see the answer to the next question. Why do you think rosé is so prevalent in the summer time? Is that a fairly long standing tradition? It’s about the balance. Let’s pretend wine is chocolate. What kind of chocolate do you want to eat in the summer? Molten chocolate cake? A steaming cup of cocoa? Nope, you’re going for some chocolate sorbet or one of those delicious chocolate pudding pops while you’re sitting in the sun. Did I just compare rosé to pudding pops? I think I did. I’m headed out East this weekend for a BBQ — which wine should I bring if I want to drink local? I’m going to go off the reservation and tell you to get some beer. Montauk Brewing Company is two blocks away from the Montauk Beach House. Now that’s local. Guest Written by Vanessa Price. Currently the Metro New York District Manager for Maisons Marques & Domaines/Champagne Louis Roederer, Vanessa’s passion for wine began in her hometown of Louisville, KY. After earning her bachelor’s degree in philosophy from the University of Louisville, Price traded in Plato for Pinot as she moved to New York to open Balon, a wine bar/bistro focusing on esoteric appellations of the world. Her next stop was The American Sommelier Association, where she helped update course textbooks and class structure and eventually went on to become an instructor. A few years ago, Price moved to the distributor level, taking a position in sales at Empire Merchants.

The Business Trend Survey by the Employers Association of America shows several distinctions for the Northeast region in regulatory compliance, investment and staffing. Results from this comprehensive survey of 1,242 organizations, covering 2,814 employer locations and 45 US states, indicate that the majority of executives surveyed remain optimistic for 2016, are confident they will award pay increases, will provide a heightened emphasis on recruiting, and plan to increase training budgets that focus on developing their existing employees. See summary of national data here. "Here in the Northeast, we certainly understand that regulatory compliance is a concern and we are heartened to see more companies looking to increase staff," states Meredith Wise, President of the Employers Association of the NorthEast. "We are also encouraged by the commitment of businesses in the Northeast to technology, processes and people." 1. Regulatory compliance is a bigger concern. In comparison to the national average, Northeast companies view the cost of regulatory compliance as a greater challenge, both in the short term and long term. The data shows 32% of the Northeast regional responses expressing concern in the short term vs. 27% of the national responses. On a long-term basis, 42% of the Northeast regional responses see regulatory compliance as a serious challenge whereas nationally the average checks in at 34%. 2. There is a greater commitment to invest in technology, processes and people. There appears to be a greater consensus on the part of Northeastern business to invest in technology equipment, lean and other process improvements as well as invest in training. All measures were responded to more favorably and at a higher rate than in comparison to the national norms. Overall, 70% of executives surveyed in the Northeast said they would be making new investments in people, facilities and/or equipment in 2016 vs. only 62% nationally. While the majority of surveyed executives indicated that they would be increasing staff in 2016, a greater percentage of Northeastern executives -- 59%) --plan on adding staff when compared to the national norm of 52%.

Students who are new to online learning may, at first, find this type of learning a little disorientating since they are used to a physical space and the physical presence of a teacher. Some may also make the mistake of thinking that online learning requires less of an effort but in fact it is quite difficult for students to motivate themselves to study at their own convenience. This can all be made a little easier with preparing them for learning English online. When introducing students to an online course you should first provide guidelines on the requirements needed, both in terms of hardware/software and in terms of computer skills. This will provide students who are not so computer savvy with an opportunity to brush up on their skills before starting the course and to ask any questions they might have beforehand. You might also want to provide a walk-through worksheet or document that goes through step-by-step the technical tasks that might be required of them. Maybe you have been using the same online course of software for years but to some people it may be completely new. If you find it difficult to get into the mindset of a beginner, it might be useful to approach a student who you think might have difficulties and offer to coach them so you can see where the biggest problems lie. Once you have developed a handout, you might want to schedule one or two orientation sessions that combine teaching computer basics and becoming familiar with the online course. This way you can see if there is anything essential that your handout is missing. An orientation session also provides a way of introducing yourself to your students and if it is a group activity provides a way of developing a community. Whether you are teaching online or offline, you will also want to explain to your students how their self-paced learning fits into the other course activities you do. You should explain how lessons, discussions, lectures can be combined with the self-paced online course to achieve their learning outcomes. The students should see that the course isn’t an optional add-on but fundamental to reinforcing what is being taught by the teacher. Since students know how long lessons instructed by a teacher are, you should provide a guideline time for how long an online unit should take, so that students can easily at this into their schedule. You might even want to provide students with a schedule or plan that features the online course so students can see where the online course fits in. An advantage of online learning is that students must learn to read texts extremely carefully. While students might find this difficult at first it encourages them to learn and study independently as well as make decisions more quickly because they don’t have a teacher to rely on for clarification. – a basic description of the online task, e.g. please complete the listening task of unit 2, you will listen to three speakers talking about their jobs and then have to answer true of false questions based on what you have heard. – how it relates to the rest of the course and their learning outcomes, e.g. this will enable you to listen to and understand vocabulary related to professions. – how long the task should take and when it should be done by, e.g. it shouldn’t take you any longer than 30 minutes to complete and I would like you to finish it for next lesson. – what to do if they have technical problems and what to do if they have task-related problems, e.g. if you have technical problems, please contact the technical support and if you have problems completing the task, please send me a message. You should also be clear about how much participation you require from students and what weighting this could have on their overall grade. A gentle reminder from you before a task is due should encourage students to keep up with their online course activities. By talking about the exercises and activities contained within an online course, students will be able to see, that even though they are studying on their own, they are not alone. A teacher might want to set aside time either within the lesson, or a few minutes after the lesson to go through the correct answers of an online course. This will eliminate any technical or computer-related issues fairly quickly and will help students to see where they went wrong and improve for next time. And there we have it, if you’ve followed all these tips, you should have successfully prepared students for online learning and make the most of a blended approach to learning. Additionally, our e=learning program, Learn English, can be combined with traditional instructional teaching using our textbooks to achieve this blended learning approach.

Discussions about artificial intelligence (AI) invoke blank stares or robot take-over fears. We’ve created a caricature that inhibits real conversation and actually diminishes what AI is already doing for us in our everyday routines. Think about it. It’s choosing our next song on Spotify; it’s Google crawling the internet for the best search results; or it’s Facebook working to squash fake news. In other words, the robots are already here. Hollywood has fun scaring us with world dominating machines whose mental capacity grows well beyond any human's, but the reality of AI is, it’s been the not-so-scary backbone of innovation for decades. Om Malik explains AI as “augmented intelligence” that “offers the possibility of winnowing an increasing number of inputs and options in a way that humans can’t manage without a helping hand.” So, as data gets more and more unwieldy, AI is the power that helps us tame it. That definition also puts into perspective several of the companies and products you interact with everyday. And this effectively describes the proprietary backbone of TrendKite, the Insight Engine. This Insight Engine is a machine learning technology that detects patterns among the equivalent of 3 million days of coverage. To give you perspective, this technology scans and analyzes about 500,000 articles per minute. A task that is humanly impossible...and imagine the incredible data points, retrieved and organized specifically based on the user’s needs. Public relations and artificial intelligence are rarely ever mentioned in the same sentence, and currently, they aren’t even in the same conversations. In fact, less than 3% of news stories that discuss the PR industry also mention AI. But the use of AI isn’t going anywhere. McKinsey predicts that every industry will be touched by AI, with as much as 45% of tasks currently performed by people being automated using existing technologies. And for PR mainstream, that technology is TrendKite. The idea of artificial intelligence is the same as is in other products and industries that rely on it. TrendKite is taking the commands given, analyzing incredible amounts of data, and producing [reports] based on the results. Yes, this research and analysis has been done in the past without the use of software or AI, but as bloggers, journalist, and publications multiply exponentially, it’s impossible for PR pros to stay on top of every article, every engagement, and every trend across one or multiple industries. But it doesn’t stop there. Just as you see suggested products on Amazon, or search terms in Google, TrendKite takes in data and uses it to give suggestions within your PR strategy. An example of how TrendKite is using AI to reshape PR, is a feature called ‘Spike Alerts’. Spike Alerts is laser focused on analyzing data sources based on user input, then it tracks trends in press coverage, alerting the PR pro to anomalies. The resulting alert provides actionable data, with strategic information, the PR pro can act upon. So, instead of a barrage of “results”, the AI working behind the scenes in Spike Alerts is actually doing something for the user. But, there is no lack of work for today’s PR pros, software or not, because it’s not all robots. As you go a level deeper into the products backed by artificial intelligence, you realize the human element can’t be replaced. And actually, human acumen combined with computer intelligence can be the most effective scenario. This is what is described as intelligence amplification (IA). It’s the idea that even as Spotify curates your perfect playlist, you have to give it some structure, tell it your likes and dislikes, so the user receives the desired output. It’s the same, even more necessary idea with PR analytics. TrendKite lets the PR professional harness data unlike ever before; it’s changing the way industry pros analyze and report. But the output doesn’t tell the right story until someone gives it the parameters to investigate and evaluate. The fascinating thing about AI is the mystery surrounding it, and the fear it’s coming after our jobs. But the real world story is, it’s already here, changing the way you listen to music, search the web, and digest news. And as for your job, at TrendKite, we’re working to give the PR pro more power than they’ve ever had before, harnessing AI in an entirely new way, in an industry that hasn’t seen this kind of human and machine interaction.

Eva has a penchant for doses of poetry in her film, poetry that originates from her writing background. And for this, her film has left me with the thought of the evening. Her character cannot move one from her break-up because she needs to seek out and digest the past before she can deal with the future. While the line is familiar and perhaps bordering on insipid, the storyteling in the film fully justifies it. The film is simply a break-up film. And it makes no secret about its personal element because Eva has put her pictures right at the beginning of the film. It was pictures of her and her ex-girlfriend with melancholic music overlaying the sparse montage. While it did remind me of 'London-Londres', her previous short, I tried to watch this with an open mind. A vulnerable, doe-eyed Korean girl Gina (Eva, you must widen your nationality taste pallete) meets a random guy in a restaurant. The guy has obvious interests in her, for he tolerates all her drunken antics and mannerisms. Visually, the casting has told a fair portion of the story. I felt the guy looked very nerdy and obviously a bad candidate for her affections, even if she was bisexual. The fact that she was gay made it even more comic. The actress then went on to deliver a rivetting break-up aftermath act. Like a schizophrenic, she slouches her body against the sofa looking grim most of the time. But at certain moments, she straightens up for a certain reflexive actions, mostly related to 'bottoming-up' her drink. Then, there was the gritty crying portion. Locked within the noisy ambience of the restaurant, is an emotional outburst that you can see but cant really hear. Directorially, I think it is her style not to over-sentimentalise the scene. There was in fact a certain naturalistic distancing in the presentation. Like London-Londres, there also a rehash of the issue of issue of alienation in a foreign place. In a bar scene later, we see the same pair leaning at a corner while we also catch patches of non-black hair in the background and foreground. And the Asian restaurant ambience is replaced by a Western pub bustle. I am suddenly reminded that she now feels doubly alienated. But unfortunately, the film does not deal with this adequately enough. It also feels that it comes from something personal rather something necessited by the flow of storytelling. In a blue-tinted scene at a bridge (or walkway), the girl finally decides to break loose from the clingy guy and walk off. This is in fact a repeat of the opening scene. For me, it felt like her statement about 'dealing with the past before the future' was given a visual representation. Same actions (her walking off), different implications. So, it nicely gives the film a natural structure without trying to resolve the emotional mess the film has taken us through.

A pediatric sports medicine specialist says that to prevent youth sports injuries we need to "think like Sweden" in setting as a goal zero youth sports injuries; use protective equipment such as properly fitted and maintained helmets, mouthguards, and goggles; and recognize that education is not enough to change the cultural and physical environment of youth sports, but requires active implementation of sports safety best practices at the grass roots level. A former college soccer player with a history of multiple undiagnosed concussions talks about her attempt to strengthen her state's youth concussion safety law. As part of the Inter-Association Consensus Statement on Best Practices for Sports Medicine Management for Secondary Schools and Colleges, the task force developed a set of 10 principles to guide administration of sports medicine-athletic training services in order to provide athlete-centered medicine. . One of the things I try to do every day is carve out time to keep up with what people are saying on Twitter, and occasionally throwing in my two-cents worth. For those of you reading this blog who follow MomsTEAM on Twitter, it won't come as any big surprise that concussions in sports seems to be the topic that most often lights up the youth sports Twittersphere. But as anyone active on Twitter also knows, condensing one's thoughts into 140 character "tweets" is often a challenge, and can sometimes leave a lot to be desired, especially when one is talking about a subject as complex as concussions. Last night was one of those times. As anyone active on Twitter knows, condensing one's thoughts into 140 character "tweets" is often a challenge, especially when one is talking about a subject as complex as concussions. Last night was one of those times. As readers of this space well know, MomsTEAM and I have long advocated that the best way to help keep our kids playing interscholastic sports is for schools to hire certified athletic trainers (ATs). Years before sport concussions took over as the predominant youth sports safety issue of the 21st centry, we were highlighting the critical and unique role that ATs play in recognizing, evaluating and managing concussions. Knowing that MomsTEAM's long advocacy for more certified athletic trainers in the nation's schools, and a powerful video explaining just why ATs are so critical to youth sports safety, are making a difference is not only gratifying, but with only 42% of high schools in the country having access to ATs, MomsTEAM's work is far from done. Leading youth sports safety expert, Kevin Guskiewicz, PhD, ATC, explains how a certified athletic trainer (AT) is the "quarterback" of a school's sports medicine team, and why he predicts that the percentage of U.S. high schools that have an athletic trainer will increase in the coming years.

Welcome to Scooters and Sequins and thanks for stopping by. I’m a London College of Fashion graduate and former magazine journalist, Scooters and Sequins is the perfect creative outlet for me to share my love of style, kids info and connect with other mums doing their thing in this minefield called motherhood. London born and bred with two (mostly) wonderful and (sometimes) bickering children who constantly make me laugh and keep me busy. When I’m not watching my daughter perform yet another cartwheel or listening to my son explain what a nutmeg is (apparently not just a spice but also a football term- who knew??!), I love to find some ‘me’ time whether it’s 15 minutes quiet time browsing Pintrest or catching up with friends. Being a working mum means life is busy but certainly never boring! Since becoming a mum 9 years ago, life isn’t the same but I seriously wouldn’t change a thing. One thing that has dominated my life as a mum is scooters or rather the presence of them in my hallway, on the pavements and parks!! As my husband has often said ‘the Micro scooter inventor must be raking it in’ because the scooters are everywhere! Despite having my children, I have still maintained my love of fashion and style. When I can I love to take a trip to nearby Portobello Market for the shopping, food and people watching. Having recently organised my wardrobe, I realised I have a serious thing for sequins but I promise it’s tasteful not tacky! So, it seemed only natural to call my blog Scooters and Sequins. Hope you enjoy what you see and please leave your comments.

I am somewhat of a climber and received great amusement with your article by Mr. Duro, titled "A Climber's Bestiary," but with one of the puns included therein I am troubled. In short, what in Hell means "Franklin" in the expression "Arete Franklin"? The Oxford English Dict. I have consulted, moreover the Merriam Webster's Third and Second Internationals, in desperation the Random House, and even Mrs. Byrnes' Dictionary yet, but none offer a hint about a useage that would explicate the signification of "Franklin." All I find is that a "Franklin" is kind of some bailiff or land steward. With puzzlement, I am supposing that this reference denotes some of Mr. Ben Franklin's preachy homilies (driving "victims to paroxysms of self-destructive guilt") such as for example "Penny-wise, pounds foolish." Means "furry and dark" a reference to some Freudian "Black beast" perhaps? Is the ice axe a reference to the murder weapon on Trotsky used? Could we then be referring to preachy moralizers in general? Wonderfully abstruse things like the above keep me back for more. Keep up the good work! Wetamoo, whose extravagantly feminine presence was described by Mary Rowlandson after her captivity among Wetamoo's people, led 300 warriors to aid the Wampanoag chief King Philip in his unsuccessful war against the English, 1675-76.

US president Donald Trump’s investment in the west Clare golf resort of Doonbeg has yet to make a profit despite a 30 per cent jump in revenues to €6.5 million, according to accounts just filed. Figures for the Trump-owned TIGL Ireland Enterprises Ltd for 2016 show that it continues to make operating losses, although these almost halved in that year to to €807,090. Joe Russell, who is general manager of the venue, said it was the best year’s trading since the full resort facilities opened in 2006. And he added that revenues had jumped a further 10 per cent in the year just passed. He said that the golf operation enjoyed “record green fee business and a steady flow of new members”, while there was also renewed interest in the resort’s property operation. The accounts show that €3.1 million was ploughed into the resort firm in 2016 by the Trump organisation on top of €5.5 million the previous year. Mr Russell attributed the jump in revenues in 2016 to improvements brought about by the Trump investment, and the strength of the Trump brand internationally, together with an improving economy. Ireland’s reputation as a safe destination and high levels of hospitality were also cited. Mr Russell said that while the resort operation performed strongly in 2017, it would incur “a small loss in 2017 largely due to ongoing investment and capital expenditure improvements”. He said the resort is targeting to make a profit this year. Ongoing investment in the course contributed to pre-tax losses of €2.2 million in 2016, 14 per cent lower than the €2.57 million in losses sustained in 2015. Mr Trump resigned as a board member of TIGL Ireland Enterprises Ltd days prior to being sworn in as US president last January. However, the accounts confirm that the US president retains his 100 per cent shareholding in the Doonbeg company. In December, the resort secured planning permission for its coastal protection work plan from Clare Co Council, though the decision is expected to be appealed to An Bord Pleanála by objectors. Mr Russell said that the coastal protection works are “critical to the future of this business, its growth, sustainability and economic impact locally and in the region”.

In June of this summer I was sitting in a Labour Parliamentary office in the early days of the party’s leadership conflict. On the morning of the 15th June, veteran left-winger Jeremy Corbyn won a last minute spot on the leadership ballot paper. Fast forward to September: Corbyn had defied almost every odd to become the new Labour leader, bringing with him a fresh proposition of far-left policies that Britain has, in recent times become foreign to. This article will discuss Corbyn’s plans for student finances, a policy area that was a major mechanism for rallying support in his campaign. Following this there will be a brief analysis of what each party leader is trying to achieve with their separate actions, and a conclusion on why I feel Corbyn is a potentially reckless force on the higher education system. What does Corbyn’s success mean? By the time the 66-year-old even has chance to become Prime Minister in May 2020 most of you reading this will (sadly) no longer be students, therefore Corbyn’s changes cannot even make a dint in your £27,000 debt. Depressing realisations aside, Corbyn’s student fees policy stands proudly as a direct opposition to the Coalition’s decision in 2010. In case you somehow aren’t aware of what that decision was, the Tory-LibDem marriage that came to power in the turn of a new century boosted student fees to a whopping £9000 per year. This means us students are paying three times the amount that those who began their studies just a few years ago were paying. Seem fair? To easiest way to analyse Corbyn’s plans is by breaking our fees down into two parts: maintenance payments and tuition payments. Labour’s new proposition is to scrap tuition fees entirely, a radical change from Ed Miliband’s suggestion of merely reducing them by £3000 per year. Forgive me if I’m being cynical here, but aren’t decisions like this not just a tad but rather extremely idealistic? Mr Corbyn himself has admitted that his changes would cost £10.1bn, a monumental charge to implement on Britain’s economy. So where, then, does the veteran left-winger aim to fund such changes? In an unsurprising forecast, Corbyn plans to impose higher taxes on wealthier households. In initial plans laid out in July, the leader suggested increasing national insurance to 7% for those who earn over £50,000 per year. Although this is nothing but good news for the student population, is it fair that just because someone earns above this amount they should give a greater portion away? Especially, that is, when percentage taxation already exists to ensure that someone who earns more puts more back into society (or so the story goes). Moving away from tuition fees, Corbyn also laid out plans to bring back maintenance grants. To put this debate into context, one of the Conservatives’ policies in their first all-blue budget since 1996 announced plans for the abolishment of maintenance grants from September 2017. True to form, Corbyn’s policies aim to reverse these changes made by the Tories in what seems to be a hero-of-the-students decision to gain support. But whose policy is best? As long as a larger loan is given to students to ensure everybody can still have the same university experience, do we really need the maintenance grant? Especially when it is a perhaps naïve assumption that just because a couple earn over a certain amount of money they will provide more funds for their child. In addition to this, many universities, Liverpool being a prime example, already have several bursaries given away each year to students of lower income families. There is, however, a natural conflict of opinion amongst students and those involved in higher education on this particular matter. It is worth interjecting here with a brief analysis of what each party leader is trying to achieve with their decisions on student payments. Since John Major’s questionable decision in 1992 to turn thirty-five Polytechnic Colleges into university-status institutions, the number of people applying to, partaking in, and completing degree programmes has rocketed. This has led, unsurprisingly, to a shortage in jobs for graduates of even the highest calibre, who are now relying on extra curricular activities and exceptional social skills to set them apart from the competition. So what effect does each party have on this? If we look at the Tories’ intentions, David Cameron seems to be trying to deter eighteen and nineteen-year-olds from the idea that a university degree is their only gateway to the career ladder, encouraging apprenticeships and vocational courses in the recent Conservative Conference in Manchester. Cameron is intending to achieve this by implementing off-putting high tuition fees on Britain’s students. Fees which currently stand at £9000 could potentially be raised to £12,000 per year for top institutions. Corbyn’s policies for Labour, on the other hand, serve to reduce the financial burden of going to university, leaving very little to discourage eighteen and nineteen-year-olds from going through the higher education system. In my opinion this will have a devastating impact, deepening the already perilous depths of the post-graduate job pool. Although Corbyn is quite right in his opinion that paying £9000 for a year of education is astoundingly high, his own intentions for fees have a devastating potential that is often skipped over by the student masses. So what does it all mean? Well, for now it means nothing unless Labour come into power in 2020. But support for these changes among left-wing activists and groups like Young Labour has been substantial. There must, however, be acknowledgement that Corbyn’s plans for student payments are idealistic and, in my eyes, operate in a far-left mindset that simply does not exist in Britain any more. Am I fond of Jeremy Corbyn’s policies? Not particularly. There are some proposals of his that I agree with, especially his decision to campaign thoroughly to remain in the E.U. in the looming referendum. His action on student payments is simply not one of these policies, however, and I think the divide he has created even within his own party shows the backwardness of his ideas. This opinion is not one echoed by the majority of students across the country; most are in favour of Corbyn’s policies and will probably be the reason he gets into power, if he ever does. But it is worth considering the divide that the sixty-six-year-old has caused in the country and his own party. Labour’s main hope of seizing power in 2020 seems to be to show unity against the Tory government. Is Corbyn really the man to do this, when many of his party’s former main players see Labour’s values as being very separate from its leader’s?

Charting the limits of linguistic complexity opens up new perspectives for researching both language and the human mind. This project focusses on inflectional morphology, which is the systematic manipulation of word forms to express grammatical meaning. As a uniquely linguistic and uniquely human component of communication, morphology stands to reveal otherwise inaccessible aspects of cognition. Morphological systems introduce an extra layer of structure in between meaning and its expression. This layer may operate at cross purposes to functional distinctions, attaining in some languages an astonishing degree of complexity. Such apparently arbitrary distinctions in form (inflection classes, irregularity and similar phenomena) are the particular focus of this project. They are a key resource for understanding mental processes as they represent an unconscious and yet highly structured autonomous system. The project core is a comprehensive typological and historical investigation of morphological complexity (surveying 200 languages), with input from psycholinguistic and computational methodology. Such an interdisciplinary approach has not been attempted before. A deeper understanding of morphological complexity, a component of language which is free of the functional, physiological and sociological constraints that normally shape other linguistic structures, promises to advance both linguistic theory in particular, and the cognitive sciences as a whole.

Life insurance and mortgages can be a tricky thing, there are so many options so many opinions out there it is hard to know what you need for your own individual situation. It can be tricky trying to figure out all the ins and outs to make sure you are getting the coverage that you and your family need. That is why you need to have someone in your corner that you can trust, and who knows what they are doing. Thankfully I have Chad from Golife to help answer some of the questions you lovely readers had! Why do I need additional/separate life insurance if I have some provided through my work? Work place benefits are great and an important part of ones financial plan. The issue for most individuals is that the life insurance provided at work usually only covers 1-2X ones annual income. Most individuals require 10-15X their income to protect income and eliminate debts (including the mortgage), which means a potential shortfall in protection if one only has coverage through work. The biggest risk to solely relying on coverage at work is if you leave your plan. Changing jobs and employers is common and every time you switch jobs you run the risk of ending up with no coverage or having to apply for new personal plan at an older age, resulting in higher costs. An even bigger risk is if your health changes, you may not qualify for future coverage at all. Work place coverage gives you the option to get more life insurance than the minimum 1-2X offered (usually maxed at $500,000 of coverage) but you will have to go through underwriting. Given the financial protection that is at stake for those you love, in most cases a personal life insurance policy makes sense. Is there a way to get private life insurance if your spouse engages in “risky sports“ like rock climbing or backcountry skiing? For those who engage in “riskier” sports and hobbies there is usually an additional questionnaire that is required with your application. This helps provide disclosure about the activities and to see if a modified price is required or not. Insurance company’s will often have different views on certain activities and hobbies, so it is important to apply with the one that will give you the best offer given the riskier activity. For activities like “Rock Climbing or Back Country Skiing” some companies will increase the premium given the higher level of risk, others may exclude the activity, meaning you won’t be covered if you died doing the listed sport or activity. I have seen policies with an investment portion and I’m wondering if it’s growth is worth it, will I get pay out when I’m ready to retire. How do I find out how it’s performing? Life insurance policies that have an “investment” or “cash value” competent to them are permanent or participating policies. The first question to ask yourself is “Why am I getting life insurance?” It’s important to always make sure you are getting the right amount of coverage and then find which type of policy best meets your needs. If you are wanting to pay of debts and protect income then Term insurance is often the better choice. Permanent life insurance can be very effective for estate planning and tax efficiency, though needs to be carefully considered and set up properly given premiums are significantly more than term insurance. The cash value or investment growth inside a permanent policy can be worth it, especially for those individuals looking for a more “conservative” investment approach. Most permanent policies are designed to be “long term” investments so only consider them as an “investment” if you have at least a 15-20 year time horizon. There are basically two categories of permanent life insurance, Universal Life or UL and Participating or Whole Life insurance. The government made changes to these policies last year and participating policies are looking more attractive than Universal Life but it is recommended to speak with an advisor before making a decision. Investment returns and performance of the policy are reported in an annual statement that is required to be sent to you. Each insurance company will also have additional information, often online, that you can access. Will we need to pay taxes on the money paid out, if it is paid out? Life insurance proceeds are paid out as a tax free, lump sum payment to your named beneficiary. Life insurance benefits are also paid out quickly, often within 7 business days of the paper work being completed. The promptness is due to the fact that underwriting, at least for a personally owned policy, is completed upfront at the time of the application. Would it be better to have the money go to me if there are tax implications for non-spouse beneficiaries? Life insurance benefits are still tax free even when paid to a beneficiary who is not a spouse. Benefits are tax free even if they are paid to child, spouse, friend or other family member. How does one decide if purchasing life insurance for their child is beneficial? I have considered it but unsure it’s worth the extra money – if they were diagnosed with a chronic illness in the future would the cost change? Would the plan be valid for their entire life or only until they are 18? Great question and often on the minds of many parents. For what it is worth, as a parent and advisor, I have a policy for each of my children. Think of life insurance for a child to be like a “Swiss army knife” – you may use it for education, travel, down payment or financial protection. Securing the future insurability of our children is a good thing. Our health can change, it can be out of our control and having some coverage could be helpful to those we love in the future. Most premiums for permanent life insurance for children are guaranteed at the time of the policy is purchased. This means that even if the health of the child changes premiums will remain the same. Permanent plans for children stay in affect past age 18 and usually go till age 100. Juvenile insurance plans are one of the only financial tools that you can transfer from parent to child with no tax implications. Parents can be the owners of the life insurance policy for as long as they want. Parents control when it is the right time to give ownership over to the child. Life insurance policies for children give parents the control of when they see it being the right time to give their child financial control. With “in trust for accounts”, at age 18 the child gets control of the savings account. With juvenile insurance plans, parents get to decide when the right time to hand over the money is! RESPs are still the best way to save for education so don’t be talked into a juvenile policy to be the main funding source for education. The plan may supplement education but RESPs will be the primary source. A rough guide I have always used is that 75% of my kids savings goes towards RESP and other savings and 25% towards a juvenile policy. So if I was saving $100 – $75 RESP and $25 life insurance policy. Remember, what you set up for your first child you may need to do for more children in the future! With so many different people, families and needs out there it is essential to make sure you are talking to someone who is knowledgeable. Checking out the experts over at Golife.ca is a great first step. Life insurance is important, it isn’t the most glamourous or interesting part of adulthood but it is essential to make sure you and your family are taken care of. No matter what the universe throws at you, with a little preparation and some insurance and you will make it through with a smile.

The thing about treating arthritis is you’d better do it. If you’re not lucky enough to have a form that readily responds to treatment or if you didn’t get early treatment, your arthritis will progress and create an incrementally worse situation for you. Given that we’re discussing arthritis, we’re talking loss of mobility somewhere, maybe in your legs or hands, and pain. Treatment considerations for arthritis fall into three general categories: lifestyle changes, medication and surgery. Let’s review each. The best time to enact lifestyle changes is before you’re struggling to return to normalcy. Exercise is a lifelong habit that will improve the quality and extend the quantity of your life. For starters, exercise maintains and improves muscle tone. It also strengths your bones and cartilage. This will reduce pain, fatigue and stiffness over the long term. Exercise should include a tolerable level of aerobic activity, flexibility exercises to sustain your range of motion and strength training to maintain and improve your muscle tone. Physical therapy is another component; massage, heat and ice application, splints and other treatments are important in maintaining blood flow, mobility and positioning as stiffness and deformity increase over time. Using medication for arthritis is a very delicate act. Many if not most arthritics are aging and may have other medical issues. Medications in these settings have risks for side effects and drug interactions, including kidney, liver and heart damage, stroke, ulcers and bleeding. Any medications should be coordinated with your physician. Typical over-the-counter (OTC) medical regimens begin with acetaminophen, then move to NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents such as ibuprofen, aspirin or naproxen). When OTCs don’t work, your doctor may prescribe medicines, including steroids and other medications called biologics, immunosuppressants and DMARDs (disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs). These drugs all are effective in certain patients but can have serious side effects. Surgery is an option if and when other therapies haven’t worked and if the patient is healthy enough to have it. There are two primary options. Arthroplasty rebuilds the joint, and joint replacement starts from scratch. Let’s start back where I’ll always hope you start: prevention. Here are some lifestyle change tips for holding off the onset of arthritis or slowing down its advance. If you are overweight, do what you can to slim down. Weight loss significantly reduces joint pain in the legs and feet. Eat a healthy diet full of fruits and vegetables. Among other things, a rich supply of vitamin E yields benefits you’ll need. Also eat foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids (e.g., salmon, mackerel, herring, flaxseed, canola oil, soybeans and soybean oil, pumpkin seeds, and walnuts). Sleeping eight to 10 hours a night and taking naps during the day can help you both prevent and recover from flare-ups more quickly. Try stress-reducing activities, such as meditation, yoga or tai chi. Change your home to make activities easier (e.g., grab bars in the shower, the tub, and near the toilet). Consider capsaicin cream over your painful joints. Typically expect improvement after three to seven days if it’s going to help. If and when you develop arthritis, it’s going to be a tough time. Get ahead of the challenge and take care of yourself in advance. Feel free to ask questions or leave comments.

A nearby project for the same loyal client as ‘Bellevue Hills 1’ in one of the most highly developed streets in the Eastern Suburbs. Massive ‘neighbourly’ challenges dominated with large apartment buildings surrounding the site. Site void areas were employed to bring natural light into wet area spaces below the excavated site levels. A single apartment per level with central lift access provided the feeling of a penthouse style apartment on every level. Large covered terraces on the east provide sheltered entertainment areas while capturing the quality harbour views available from the site. Intensive privacy requirements to neighbouring properties provided an opportunity to enhance the facades with privacy screens, planting and glazing forms. Concrete and masonry, along with limestone internal flooring provides extensive thermal mass throughout for winter sun storage and a cool environment in summer.

Cricket and financial markets have a rich, intertwined history, from Vincent back to Waugh/Warne, Lillee/Marsh and Keith Miller. So, I don't think we necessarily need a new cricket market, but let's make one anyway, and refresh my financial maths and linear algebra at the same time. Cricket, especially its shortened forms, is seemingly becoming a batsman's game. Bats are bigger, fields are smaller, fielding and bowling restrictions make it difficult to pressure the batsmen, players are fitter and the game is more professional than it has ever been. The trend towards bigger scores is shown clearly in men's One-day International (ODI) cricket. The following chart shows the yearly average score each team scored when batting first in an ODI*, with the black line (ODIAll) being the average of all games in that year. The "Associate" line refers to Associate cricket teams that played games the International Cricket Council (ICC) deemed worthy enough to have ODI status, and also those World XI, Asia XI and Africa XI matches that were in vogue about 10 years ago and were also given ODI status. Individual Associate nations did not play enough games to create enough meaningful data for this analysis. *Only innings that went for 50-overs, or where the team was bowled out, were counted so as to take out the influence of rain. In our financial market, each of the series above is a stock, whose value is that team's average ODI score batting first in that year. The ODIAll series is the index for this particular stock market (like the S&P 500 or All Ordinaries). The upward trend in ODIAll is clear, and the following shows ODIAll data with an exponential fit. An exponential fit is what you would expect if the stock was growing with continuously compounding interest. The fit is pretty good (R2 = 0.8). The other dots are the country data and show the scatter (and noise) in the data set. I've gone back to 1980, as before then there were few games played annually. Such trends are evident in other sports, but not all sports are as focused on increasing scores. Premier League football shows no such scoring trend, total home runs in Major League Baseball ebbs and flows depending on a number of factors including the amount of steroids being taken, but there has been a steady increase in strike outs over the last 20 years. Let's do some maths. What we want to do is determine in which teams we should invest. We don't necessarily want to invest in the teams that regularly produce the highest scores. We want to pick the teams that are improving - that is, their stock prices are going up so we'll get a good return. For instance, Australia has been dominant in ODI cricket for some time; it may not be a good investment if it can not continue to grow its already large yearly average. On the other hand, Associate teams are playing more ODI cricket and Bangladesh is ever improving, perhaps they would be better investments, although likely to be more risky than an established team. Maybe we'd be better off just buying the ODIAll Index. Yes, I did it in Excel, and yes I realise that if I was any sort of data analyst I would have done it in R, but if you can't go 80% of the way towards solving the problem in Excel, it's not a problem worth solving. The following chart shows the average percentage return and standard deviation of each country's yearly stock price. On average, Australia increases its price by ~1%, with a standard deviation (risk) of 8%. Interestingly, South Africa, for a similar risk, has a ~2% return. Bangladesh is the BRIC of this market, rapidly improving over the last few years, but with a relatively high risk. The Associates are far too risky to invest in just yet. To determine your portfolio, you don't just need the risk/return values, but we also need to know whether an increase in one country's stock will cause an increase (or decrease) in another. This is measured by covariance. In our case, the prices of all countries are generally moving upwards over time, however there are some interesting pairs of countries that move together in the same direction (Sri Lanka and New Zealand) and in the opposite direction (Zimbabwe and Bangladesh). I suspect a lot of this is noise. In any case, by knowing that an increase in one stock price will likely see a decrease in another, you can minimise the overall risk of your portfolio by hedging. The next thing we need is the Capital Market Line (CML). In any market, there may be what is known as a "risk-free asset" - an asset which gives a guaranteed return with no risk. In financial modelling, government bonds assume the role of risk-free asset, as they have a known return and as the government has almost zero chance of default, are assumed risk-free. The CML is the line drawn from the point of the risk-free asset (on the y-axis) such that it is tangent to the efficient frontier. The intercept point is known as the market portfolio. Along the CML, your portfolio contains various amounts of the risk-free asset and the market portfolio (the risky asset). There is no real equivalent to a risk-free asset in this market, so I've assumed it to be 0.5%, which is, at time of writing, about the price of a German 10-year government bond (this market is based in Germany, for no particularly good reason. Perhaps a German financier, tired of his team being ranked between Gibraltar and the Isle of Man, wanted some fun). The market portfolio allows you to short sell; that is, sell stock you don't currently own. Perhaps you've borrowed it and sold it on. But you have to buy it back to give it back to the person from whom you borrowed it. You'd do this if you were expecting the price to drop so you would be buying it back at a lower price than you sold it, or as in our scenario, as a hedge. You can also determine the optimal portfolio if short-selling is not allowed, and the minimum risk portfolio. The weightings are below. Essentially, if you don't mind a bit of risk, buy Bangladesh and South Africa. If you want a bit more safety, replace Bangladesh with Australia. How are these portfolios going in 2016 (at Feb 14)? Well, noting that some of the teams have yet to play this year (so I have assumed they have a 0% return), if you'd bought the ODIAll index, you'd be up 7%, the minimum risk portfolio is down 0.9%, the no-short-selling portfolio is down 7.6% and the market portfolio is down 13.1%. This is inline with the amount of risk in each portfolio, but not a good result. Still, the year is young. Would I ever use this technique to develop a portfolio for such a market? I don't think so. This method weights a team's return from 1981 to 1982 the same as the 2009 to 2010 return. In cricket, I suspect you need to look recent form as opposed to historic, and be more specific with regards who each team is playing, and where. There's probably not enough data for the correlations and covariances to really mean anything either. Can the ODIAll Index continue to increase? This market is much like a real financial market - you can not expand forever in a world of limited resources. It has to come to an end at some point. There are ways, however, that teams could attempt to increase their own prices in the short-term. Australia, which has traditionally been very poor at playing nations it doesn't deem good enough to take the field with, could actually start to play some games against Bangladesh, Zimbabwe and the Associates; the financial markets analogy would be a company outsourcing its manufacturing to countries where they don't pay their workers well. This approach would not necessarily work for teams like India and Sri Lanka, who have been plundering week bowling attacks and bolstering their averages for some time. But at least they are attempting to grow the game, perhaps cognisant of the fact that for long periods of time they were also not particularly good (some Australia, as a foundation Test nation, never really had to think about). It will be interesting to see if India continues to do this as they take over the ICC. The Big 3 would do well to remember that they are big because of the international market and that it should be nurtured. To the (previous)-ICC's credit, the international ODI market has liberalised since around 2005, with more countries playing games with ODI status. However, it remains to be seen whether you'll ever be able to buy stock in individual Associate nations in our market. Many things could influence this market in the future. How regulated is it going to become? Will the number of nations playing ODIs grow or shrink? Where will technology trend, what rule changes are going to come in? Or will ODI cricket die in the face of T20 cricket?

A technical audit involves the detailed examination of the operating records and data of a cement factory over the preceding years. From this operational performance indexes are calculated and compared with the international performance benchmarks for similar factories, kilns and processes. Exactly what the Whitehopleman benchmarking service provides to subscribers. However, a technical audits goes further. The examination of the records is carried out on-site and the underlying causes for any shortfall in performance are immediately investigated as part of the technical audit process. The aspects of the operation where improvement efforts should be focused are identified and recommendations on potential improvement projects are included in the technical audit report. A technical audit therefore combines Whitehopleman’s benchmarking and performance investigation services into one project and produces immediate results. After completion of the technical audit and making recommendations Whitehopleman is happy to work with the client cement companies to implement the improvement plans, monitor the pace of improvement and keep the projects on target and schedule.

For the young residents living in Germany’s largest collective housing estate for migrants and asylum seekers, the endless boredom of an unsettled limbo is ever present. Located on the edge of the small town of Lebach-Jabach, near the border with Luxembourg and France, these lodgings are known as the Lager. In German, the Lager translates to ‘holiday camp.’ This word is also similar to another German word, Konzentrationslager, or ‘concentration camp’. Officially, the Lager is a temporary stopping point, where residents are allowed to remain for no longer than one year before being moved to other long-term accommodation. Yet, Stefanie Zofia Schulz regularly encountered residents who had been waiting in this ‘preliminary settlement’ for over fifteen years. For many of the children, the Lager is the only home they have ever known. Schulz sensitively documents the day-to-day malaise of these youngsters growing up as ‘tolerated’ people, stranded in this drab housing estate. They are not allowed to legally stay in the country, nor are they able to go anywhere else safely. The Lager - although the birthplace of some - is home to none.
