Everyday driver...Luxury hot rod-2020 M340I Xdrive
By bwing2003 on Wednesday, December 18, 2019I had a Msport 328 xdrive before this and it was my favorite car.. After a few weeks I have a new favorite. Everything from the drive train to the interior is a great improvement. The engine begs to be driven hard and I love to let it do so. With the new sound insulation you have to constantly check your speed to make sure your not going 20 over. Exhaust note is like music and the new exterior looks fast standing still. Without the new M3 on the road yet this is by far the best sports sedan on the road. It's ease of driveability and daily use might just make it better than the M3 when it arrives.

Huge improvement over the last generation 3 series
By Drew on Sunday, September 01, 2019This is my 3rd BMW; I had a 2007 E90 generation and a 2015 F30 generation car. The 2007 was an amazing car with excellent handling and power. The 2015, however, was a huge disappointment with its lethargic turbo engine, imprecise and light steering, and a bouncy suspension that felt more like a Lexus ES. Fortunately, the 2019 G20 BMW 3 series feels a lot more like the 2007 than the 2015. The standard suspension feels taut, but not too firm. The 330i's engine is more refined, even though it's still a turbo 4-cylinder. The power delivery feels more consistent with no perceivable lag, just like a non-turbo 6-cylinder engine of decades past. The steering is still a bit too light for my taste, but is definitely more precise and transmits decent road feel. Also, the car does feel bigger than my old 2007 and perhaps not as "tossable" in curves. But for a bigger car, it's still a competent sports sedan. Finally, I love the interior design, quality and materials of the 2019. Absolutely improved over the past BMWs and makes the car feel luxurious now and worth the price point. The exterior design, on the other hand, is perhaps a downside. But that's very subjective. The tech is amazing too. iDrive is a huge improvement in the 2019, with your choice of both touchscreen or knob interfaces. The larger touchscreen is very handy when used with Apple CarPlay, while the knob can also come in handy to zoom a map while driving. The digital gauges does take a bit getting used to, and I do hope BMW will implement an ability to change the gauge design from the odd shape it is now to more traditional circular gauges. The only big complaint I have with this car is the driving aid tools, which can be a bit intrusive. Lane keep assist in particular has been extremely annoying and inaccurate. I had to turn Lane Keep Assist off.

Excellent all-round car
By Kevin on Sunday, July 21, 2019Own the 330i xDrive version without the M-Sport Package on 18" wheels with all-season run-flat tires. The ride is much better than either my 2017 Audi TTS or 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLA250 4Matic. It is the quietest car I've ever owned. Fuel economy is also the best of any car I've had and I averaged 36.4 MPG on a 450 mile road trip. Since I am still breaking in the engine I have not revved it past 4000 rpm, but it feels strong, though not as strong as the 2.0 liter turbo four in my Audi. Steering feel is a bit on the heavy side which is what I like. I ordered the car with the tan leather interior and Harman Kardon sound system. The Harman Kardon sounds great after I set the equalizer to my preferences and adjusted the sound so it was not so front speaker biased. The tan leather is attractive and offers a nice contrast to the black interior pieces. The car is roomy, well built and attractively styled. I have gotten complements on the car's appearance from everyone who has looked at it and my wife loves it.

Friday Email: 05 February 2016
Every Friday morning our lead analyst Mark Riding sends out his weekly run-down and upcoming events in the investor calendar, like this one:
That was a strange and volatile week in which dollar weakness demonstrated the effect that it can have for resources stocks on Thursday with Anglo American rising 19.95%, Glencore, 15.97%, Antofagasta, 15.97%, BHP Billiton, 10.79% and Rio Tinto 10.27% in a single days trading. The main stock indices are trading at around about where they were this time last week.
In company news Royal Dutch Shell (RDS) and GlaxoSmithkline cofirmed their dividend intentions over the next one and two financial years respectively. RDS have produced what they would hope to be numbers that indicate a bottom or near bottom for their industry as all of the cutbacks globally slowly kick in over the next year or so. With an historic yield of 8%, investors are partially hedged from continued dollar strength or weakness provided they can pay the dividend which their diversified business suggests that they can. If the dollar strengthens, the value of the dividend to sterling investors rises. If the dollar weakens, well, we saw what happened yesterday; capital appreciation as RDS rose 6.1% amidst the falling dollar. The past week was another week of steady dividend increases or dividends being held at last years level. Still no evidence of pressure on dividends with no reductions or cuts this week. The first big test will come next week when Rio Tinto announces its final results on Thursday.
Last week provided us with a look at what has happened to some dollar denominated dividends over the past year as we convert them into sterling.
Astra Zeneca's dividend was held but showed a rise in sterling terms of 9.6%
Royal Dutch Shell's dividend was held but showed a rise in sterling terms of 5.6%
BP's dividend was held but showed a rise in sterling terms of 8.4%
Smith & Nephew's dividend was increased by 4% in dollar terms and showed a rise in sterling terms of 8.8%
It is interesting to note the effect of timing as Astra pay a big final dividend that came at a good time for sterling investors.
In spite of these dividend rises most investors will be hoping for more dollar weakness if yesterdays share price rises are anything to go by as they seek to recover from the trauma of big capital losses in the past few years, particularly in the resource sectors.
The Friday email is delivered to over 20,000 subscriber's every week, and remains a widely read run-down of recent events and what investors can expect in the week ahead written by our chief analyst Mark Riding.
It's included as part of the free DividendMax trial.
Read next: 29 January 2016
The market is currently volatile, although overall, it has been an up week for the first time this year with the FTSE 100 currently trading at around the 6000 mark. The past week saw little in the way of corporate reporting with the highlight being another housebuilder Crest Nicholson who increased their full year dividend by 38%. Slightly worrying for Diageo shareholders was the move to increase its interim dividend by only 5% after three consecutive years of 9% increases. We are maintaining our final dividend forecast, which will give an increase for the year as a whole of just over 7%. If the rate of increase of 5% becomes the norm, then they look stretched on a PE of over 20x. This morning ENTU reported their results and declared a dividend of 2.67p making for a total dividend for the year of 5.34p against a share price of 56p. They said in their results statement:

It used to be only the health nuts who went around munching 'bird seed'. Now the nutritional value of seeds is out in the mainstream and everyone knows their flax seed from their chia. Incorporating them into your diet is easy and they add delicious flavour to both sweet and savoury dishes. For economical good sense, hunt them down in the more reasonably priced oriental grocery stores, make up your own mixtures, toast them in your own oven, and grind them up at home. Keep bulk buys of seeds or seed products in your freezer to keep the oils from going rancid. Here are some birdie num num ideas to play with:
SESAME SEEDS: The most reasonably priced are found in The Chinese Supermarket and you can buy either white or black sesame seeds. These nutritious little seeds are key to flavouring dishes from all over the world, and sesame oil and sesame paste (tahini) are essential to the taste and texture of many classic dishes.
ALL PURPOSE SESAME SEASONING: Toast 2 cups of hulled, white sesame seeds on a medium hot, cast iron pan, stirring until they are golden brown. Allow to cool. Grind a cup of the toasted seeds in your grinder and add to the unground seeds. Season with a little Himalayan salt to achieve the saltiness you like. Pop in a glass jar and keep on the table to sprinkle over anything that could do with a little extra oomph - mashed avo; cream cheese sarmies; sliced tomato; steamed veggies; mashed potato; salads and so on.
SUNFLOWER SEEDS: Stuffed with amino acids and good oils, keep bulk sunflower seeds in your freezer and a jar of it in your fridge for everyday use. They are the most reasonably priced of all the seeds, apart from flax seed, and a little goes a long way. Grind up and add to morning porridge; soak half a cupful in water and then add to smoothies; pop the soaked seeds in your food processor to make yummy herby spreads. Here's my favourite sunflower seed nibble:
SALTY SUNFLOWER NIBBLE: Toast 2 cups of sunflower seeds in a medium hot, cast iron pan, stirring until they have started to go golden. Then add 1 tablespoon of soy sauce to the pan and turn off the heat. The sauce will dry up and be absorbed by the toasted seeds. Stir well, coating the seeds, and when cool, pop into a glass jar. When the craving for something salty hits, munch a handful. Too good!
PUMPKIN SEEDS: These dark green seeds are bursting with nutrition and look really classy on any dish. They are favoured in cereals, as they give good long-lasting energy. Make up a jar of honey cinnamon seed crush and sprinkle over breakfast cereals or serve as a quick snack when kids are waiting impatiently for supper.
HONEY CINNAMON SEED CRUSH: Place 2 cups of pumpkin seeds in a cast iron pan on a medium heat to toast, and keep stirring them. Just before done, add this mixture which you have ready in a little bowl: 1 tablespoon coconut oil; 1 tablespoon honey or syrup; 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Stir around, coating the seeds with the aromatic mixture – about a minute. Leave to cool, then crush the seeds roughly. This sweet, spicy mix is delicious with yoghurt, on fresh bread and butter, on oats porridge, or simply scooped up for a quick pick me up.
CHIA SEEDS: These magical little seeds have all the omega three oils that you need. Hunt down the best prices and check the price per 100 grams – it is generally cheaper in bigger packs. Keep in a jar in the cupboard and each morning shake two tablespoon into a 250 ml glass jar, then add water. Shake well, then open the lid and stir well with a chop stick. Put the lid on and leave to gel up – this takes about 30 minutes. This gel can keep in the fridge for up to 5 days, just use what you need until it's finished.
CHIA SEED MANGO DELIGHT: Place 1 cup of soaked cashew nuts (or sunflower seeds) in your blender with 1/2 cup of water and blend until you have a nice thick cream. Make up the delight in tall dessert glasses, starting off with a layer of cashew nut cream, a layer of chia seed gel, then pureed mango on top. You can finish off with grated black chocolate. Oh yes!

December 2015
People v Prince Franklin Tsetse Dec 30, 2015
On November 25, 2015, a jury found Defendant Prince Franklin Tsetse guilty of first degree murder of victim Kimberly Robertson, with special circumstances for murder in the commission of rape.
On April 4, 2014, victim Kimberly Robertson went out with her boyfriend and friends to a bar in Oakland. While there, they drank multiple drinks and eventually Robertson and her boyfriend argued whether or not she could drive his car back to his apartment, where she planned on staying that evening. Their friends believed neither should be driving and they called for a cab. When the cab arrived, victim Robertson refused to leave. Eventually, the cab took off without either of them in it.
People v Gregory Hall Dec 22, 2015
On December 22, 2015, a jury found defendant Gregory Hall guilty of first degree murder with enhancements for the 2012 killing of 67-year-old victim Michael Bradley.
On June 14, 2012, Michael Bradley was discovered by neighbors inside his home lying on his back, in a pool of blood. Neighbors grew concerned when the victim, a prominent artist who was well-liked in the neighborhood, had not been seen for days. When investigators from the Oakland Police Department arrived on scene, they observed a trail of blood leading from the victim's body to the kitchen as well as a freshly-cut electrical cord in the center of the blood trail inside the kitchen.
People v Dante Roberson Dec 22, 2015
On December 9, 2015 a jury found Defendant Dante Roberson guilty of felony child abuse, and found true the enhancement that he personally inflicted great bodily injury on a child under the age of five.
The 2-1/2 year old child was in the care of his biological father, Defendant Dante Roberson, when he received glove-type burns to both hands, consistent with forcible submersion into a hot liquid. The injuries to the child affected both his hands, with crisp lines of demarcation and no splash marks.
People v Joseph Sullivan Dec 16, 2015
On December 14, 2015, a jury found defendant Joseph Sullivan guilty of kidnapping to commit a sex crime, forcible rape, and forcible oral copulation, with aggravated kidnapping enhancements.
On June 16, 2015, around 11:30pm, Defendant Sullivan picked up the victim in Oakland for a date. Defendant Sullivan began punching the victim, however, when things did not go as planned. The victim unsuccessfully attempted to jump out of the car while the defendant drove in Oakland to escape. He then drove the victim approximately 17 miles away to Hayward, as he pinned her down by her neck on the center console, and demanded she get naked.
DA Announces $25.95 Million Settlement with Comcast Cable Communications LLC for Violations Dec 15, 2015
Alameda County District Attorney Nancy E. O'Malley and Attorney General Kamala D. Harris today announced a settlement with Comcast Cable Communications LLC ("Comcast") to resolve allegations that Comcast unlawfully disposed of hazardous waste and material, and discarded records without rendering private customer information unreadable. As part of the settlement, Comcast will pay a total of $25.95 million in penalties, costs, compliance measures and environmental projects. The settlement and proposed judgment, filed in Alameda County Superior Court, requires approval from the court before becoming final.
"Today's settlement represents a victory in California's ongoing efforts to ensure that hazardous waste is disposed of in a safe, legal and environmentally sustainable manner," states Alameda County DA Nancy E. O'Malley.
"Not only will my office pursue all necessary legal action against entities that pollute our environment, but we will also use all legal means to ensure California's consumers' private information is protected. My office will continue to work together with state and local agencies to investigate and prosecute violations against our environment."
Restitution In Excess of $330,000 Paid to Victims of Wage Theft Dec 10, 2015
Oakland, CA -- Today, Alameda County District Attorney Nancy E. O'Malley announced that her office has secured restitution for the victims in the Calvin Harris prosecution. Payment of $339,347.89 was made to nine victims at the defendant's sentencing hearing.
"I am pleased to announce that the victims in this matter have been reimbursed in full for their financial losses. My office is steadfast in our commitment to ensuring that victims of all crimes receive the restitution owed to them," stated DA O'Malley.
"We remain diligent in enforcing the laws that are in place to protect the rights of workers and employee, as one of the most fundamental of those is the right to be paid a full and fair wage for the work that they do," she said.
In February, 2015, the DA's Office secured eight felony convictions against licensed electrical contractor, Calvin Harris (Harris Electric), for failing to pay his employees the prevailing wage and for filing false documents to hide his illegal conduct. The violations of the law occurred over the course of four years.
DA O'Malley Announces Partnership to Provide Housing to Victims of Trafficking Dec 8, 2015
Alameda County District Attorney's Office and Catholic Charities of the East Bay to Partner in Creating Safe Homes for Child Victims of Commercial Sexual Exploitation
OAKLAND, CA – Today, Alameda County District Attorney Nancy E. O'Malley joined Bishop Michael C. Barber, SJ, and Chuck Fernandez, Chief Executive Officer of Catholic Charities of the East Bay, to announce a new initiative to create homes for child victims of sexual exploitation and trafficking. Alameda County is one of the nation's high intensity locations of child sex trafficking. In an effort to battle this criminal enterprise, the ground-breaking partnership will provide safe and secure housing for the young victims to recover, heal and thrive.
District Attorney Nancy O'Malley said, "Children who are the victims of sexual exploitation and trafficking are in vital need of safe and secure housing. The lack of such housing in our community and across the state is of grave concern. Catholic Charities of the East Bay and Bishop Barber are stepping up to meet the basic needs of young women who have been trafficked.

Whether you're bilingual in German, are considering learning German, or fall somewhere in between, know that German is among the most worthwhile of the world's languages. Speaking German grants access to a wealth of dynamic German or bilingual jobs in a variety of sectors. As of 2015, over 15.4 million people were learning German worldwide, according to the Goethe Institute's Deutsch als Fremdsprache 2015 (German as a foreign language) worldwide survey. After fifteen years of decline, German learning is on the rise again. Of all countries studied, emerging markets such as Brazil, China and India show the greatest increase of inhabitants learning German. For motivation to follow suit and gain access to all that German can offer in terms of employment, enjoy the following recap of thriving German industries and avenues to access them. From bilingual jobs with German companies in the US, to opportunities to travel to Germany for work or study. If you want to learn German skills, processes and business culture, there are plenty of ways to travel and improve or apply your German.
The crucial role that Germany plays in the European and global economies is undeniable. At $3.3 trillion, Germany has the fourth largest economy in the world and the largest in Europe. Touting one of the highest per capita global incomes (and a minimum of 6 weeks vacation time), you'll find Germans citizens traveling throughout the globe. With those facts in mind, it's natural to wonder about German products and specialties. You might even consider participating in one of its thriving industries.
Germany is renowned for innovation and engineering, and its investments in research and development are surpassed only by Japan and South Korea. Perhaps the most well-known sector of the German economy is the automotive industry. Manufacturing mid-range and luxury cars of superior quality is one of Germany's fortes, including the brands BMW, Daimler, Volkswagen, Audi, Porsche and Opel. In addition to automobiles, the electrical and electronic engineering industries produce high-tech goods and appliances like those manufactured by the multinational engineering and electronics company Bosch. Likewise, Siemens is the largest manufacturing and electronics conglomerate in Europe. True to Germany's long history of scientific prowess, the largest and one of the oldest chemical companies in the world, BASF, is headquartered in Ludwigshafen. BASF is active globally with service in 190 countries. Germany touches more of the world's goods than any of its neighbors in the European Union, and many Germans are employed moving goods in the logistics industry. Considering its production of high-priced exports, it's no wonder Germany's economy flourishes and developing markets clamor to learn German.
While the industries that Germany excels in are quite technical, don't let that intimidate your language-learning efforts. Not every position requires fluency, and many just require basic German. In fact, English-speakers can seek positions at one of the 1100 divisions of German companies in the US, including subsidiaries of some of those listed above. According to the 2017 German American Business Outlook Assessment conducted yearly by the German American Chambers of commerce, 99% of German companies plan to continue allocating strategic attention to their US divisions, and many plan on increasing their focus on the US. Similarly, 98% of respondents forecasted continued success in American business. Of the German companies questioned, 85% expected to take on new employees. However, hiring efforts are complicated by the fact that 69% of the companies have trouble finding skilled labor. According to the German American Business Outlook's Annual Survey of Firms in the US for 2017:
"German companies advocate for a continuous investment in the optimization of apprenticeship infrastructure in the US in the coming years. German and US companies alike are willing to engage and invest in sustainable programs that are suited to train workers according to the reality in the company or on the shop floor."
Germany's investment in apprenticeship infrastructure should serve as motivation to pursue employment in these sectors–or even convince you to add proficient German to your resume, or learn to converse (better) with future German colleagues.
On the other hand, if already planning to join the German workforce and get a true taste of German business culture, or if you're seeking to improve or learn the language while immersed, embarking on a stay or new life in Germany has never been easier. The European Blue Card program enabled easier access for non-Europeans to obtain work permits in 2012. As of 2017, an applicant must have a job offer with a minimum salary of EUR 50,800 in order to apply for a Blue Card in Germany. This required salary is lower for positions with a shortage of workers: currently, Germany is in need of several types of engineers and IT specialists. Those qualified in the fields of healthcare, human services and manufacturing positions are also in short supply. Teaching English is another viable option.
For those not yet in the workforce or those who prefer to study again, traveling to Germany to study is an enticing option. For fellow Europeans, the ERASMUS programs facilitate studying in Germany. Those outside of Europe can enroll in a German language school like the Goethe Institut or Berlitz, or locate one of the many programs that begin in English and transition to German. International degree programs that don't require knowledge of German are also available. Once you study, extending your stay to begin working isn't difficult.
CORE Languages is certain that German is a language of the future that will make you a more competitive candidate at home or abroad. Whatever the case may be, we wish you viel Glück with learning German and on the path to German or bilingual jobs!

A patient care technician resume, like any other resume, must have a lot of information. That includes an occupational history and skills, employment records, certification and licensing information, as well as personal statements. If you are searching for a job with this position, a patient care technician resume can be of great help.
Resumes can be tailored to fit the needs of different employers. That is why it is very important to put some time and effort into writing your resume. No employer will work with someone who is not professional, so don't hesitate to spend time on it.
You should make sure that the resume matches the job description you are applying for. Some jobs require a different type of resume than others. Make sure that your resume matches the job description, and you will get a better response rate. It is not always necessary to use the same resume for every job you apply for.
In this medical field, the most important thing you need to look for in your resume is that it includes your name and contact information. Your contact information is the one thing that is going to really show employers that you are interested in the job. Once you have it, you can find other ways to let them know that you are the person they are looking for.
Another thing you want to remember when writing your resume is to include all of the relevant information that is needed to support your job description. That means getting the name of the hospital and the staff. By doing this, you will be much more likely to get interviews for the job.
The position you are applying for will have some requirements for certifications. Make sure that you list them all, so that you are clear on what they are asking for. Also, you may want to list additional credentials such as a current license, or things that you have taken.
When it comes to resumes for medical center and health care providers, the information you want to include is yours. You do not have to let anyone else write it. Tell what you have to offer.
Other things to include are your training, education, training, and education, whether you are a registered nurse, a registered practical nurse, or a certified nurse's aide. Include where you received your training, too. If you are working with an academic institution, put their name and the address.

Puddle Jumper
by Bob Valleau
12/25/2009 / Humor
The other day, I saw a little girl hopping down the sidewalk, holding onto her mother's hand. It had just rained and the air was cold. But the weather didn't seem to bother the girl who was wearing a light jacket and bright yellow boots that appeared to be on the wrong feet. The little girl giggled while jumping in puddles along the way. At one point, she splashed a big puddle and got all wet. She started to cry, and her mom swooped her up into her arms.
As I watched this carefree girl and mom make their way past me, I couldn't help but think of my own childhood days. I, too, remember playing in the rain and not worrying about a thing.
After they were no longer in my sight, I decided to stomp a puddle in front of me. Somehow, it didn't feel quite the same like it did when I was a kid. Not only did I feel silly, but now I had a wet sock inside my wet shoe, and I just knew I was going to catch a cold.
Maybe the key to living a worry-free life is having someone who will take care of you no matter what. If that is the case, then I want my mommy.

Hello, sports fans! Well, as you can see, we're up to our butts in winter. This isn't really the best time to be going outdoors and looking at nature, but that certainly doesn't stop it from happening. In fact, with the exception of migrating birds, nearly every creature found here during the rest of the year is still here in one form or another, either under or above the blanket of snow. Herbaceous (non-woody) plants might look dead, but not only are their dead bits decomposing and enriching the soil, but in many ways they aren't even dead. The flowers of annual plants, which live for only one year, have become seeds, which are currently riding out the winter in hopes of germinating come springtime.
Perennials, which re-grow every year, are still present underground in the form of roots and tubers. Insects are, for the most part, in egg or pupa form, their parents having long since died. While the furrowed bark of older trees makes an optimal and easy spot for young insects to winter, egg cases can also be found on outlying twigs, shrub stems, and in fact on almost any exposed plant remains above the snow. Often insects will specialize their egg-laying habits to one plant species.
One especially interesting form of insect wintering involves "galls," or small round growths on plants, stems and twigs. For example, the larvae of certain species of gall wasps burrow into oak twigs when they hatch and, through a process not quite fully understood, induce the tree to produce a growth in which the larvae survive the winter. They can feed on the interior tissues of the gall while at the same time being protected from most environmental effects. They are not, however, protected from other insect species that know that there are juicy, nourishing grubs inside.
Speaking of trees, let's talk about those for a while. I think that when people get their pictures taken they should say "trees" instead of "cheese." Try it next time. Cheese is great and all, but without trees humanity would still be slime on a rock. As far as organisms that endure through the winter go, trees are the most visible and helpful of them all. An old tree is an ecosystem unto itself throughout the year, with or without leaves. Not all broadleaf trees are blessed with gorgeous architecture when their leaves fall, but Knox is chock full of ones that are: the pillar-like tulip tree at the southwest corner of Alumni Hall, the spreading white oak between Post Hall and the quads, the bald cypress between Beta and TKE whose trunk tapers off to a perfect point—ah! Glory. The bald cypress, of which there are two others in front of SMC, is particularly interesting in that it is one of very few conifers that drop their leaves in winter. Its relatives — pines, spruces, firs, hemlocks — can be seen all over campus still wearing their spiny coats, photosynthesizing away while the slow-growing broadleaves lie dormant.
Trees provide a home not only for insect species riding out the winter in relative immobility, but also for highly active mammals such as Knox's ubiquitous squirrels. These live for the most part in nest-like "dreys," which can be seen in the upper, outer branches of trees that have lost their leaves. Squirrels spend most of their time searching for nuts and acorns that they buried in the warmer months when such things were abundant. You can trace their spastic activities by following their tracks in the snow. The only times when their tracks are invisible is when there is no snow or, much worse, when the snow is frozen over. In this case, there are only two ways in which campus squirrels can reach the ground: when we break through the ice with our own footprints or when the warm steam tunnels running from building to building melt all of the ice and snow above them.

Councillor Julie McManus from Bidston ward came down and sat
with me before the annual meeting of Wirral's Foodbank last week. She told me she was off
to feed the homeless and other hungry people in Hamilton Square. Here is her
report on just one hungry family:
'The grandfather brought in his coat a little boy who must
have been under 2 years old. As we fed the hungry, the little boy's mouth
opened and closed like a little bird in the nest crying out for food. I fed him
with mashed shepherd's pie, teaspoonful by teaspoonful. Grandad was embarrassed.
'As we also had cake that had been donated and the little boy
was obviously still hungry I said we'll now have cake. The little bird-like
mouth turned to asking "cake, cake, cake". And so it was. The little boy took his
fill of the beautiful cake donated to Feeding Birkenhead.'

On this second episode of ID the Future, Dr. Brian Mattson and Jay Friesen of Dead Reckoning discuss scrutiny of the intelligent design movement with Casey Luskin. They trace opposition not only to alternate worldviews, but also to science historian Thomas Kuhn's insight that new science paradigms will inevitably face strong resistance from adherents to older theories. Luskin notes progress in recent critiques of Darwinism published in mainstream science literature.

The first lick in our example 2 uses the A minor scale. Blackmore would often play a scale in a sequenced pattern similiar to what Baroque composers played. So, this sounds a lot like something from a piece by Bach or Vivaldi. After dramatically climbing up the scale, we change positions, add some hammer-ons, pull-offs, and slides on the way back down that suggest Blackmore's slippery, sliding, soloing technique.
This sort of lick is very influential especially among shred guitarists, but also rock player in general.

The Emergence of Polarized Trust
47 Pages Posted: 25 Aug 2014
Date Written: August 21, 2014
Our main argument is that ordinary Americans are increasingly polarized, but not in their policy preferences or their ideology. Decades of research suggest that ordinary Americans do not tend to hold their policy preferences strongly (Converse 1964) and are "innocent of ideology" to borrow Herbert McClosky's (1964) wonderful turn of phrase. Looking for polarization in Americans' policy preferences or their ideological predispositions is almost sure not to turn up much (but see Abramowitz 2010 on health care). Rather, our focus is on the effects of a very recent, but different, development in public opinion: the polarization of trust in government. This form of polarization is a central support to the gridlocked politics that contemporary Washington produces. The public did not create polarization in Washington, but it does allow it to persist.

An artist from Jiangsu Women's Traditional Orchestra performs at the Cairo Opera House in Cairo, Egypt, April 8, 2019. At Egypt's renowned Cairo Opera House, a Chinese musical band played traditional Chinese and Egyptian music on Monday, winning applause of the audience. The show was part of the seventh edition of the Damanhour International Folk Festival, which lasts to April 11. (Xinhua/Wu Huiwo)
by Ahmed Shafiq, Zhao Jiasong
CAIRO, April 8 (Xinhua) -- At Egypt's renowned Cairo Opera House, a Chinese musical band played traditional Chinese and Egyptian music on Monday, winning applause of the audience.
The show was part of the sixth edition of the Damanhour International Folklore Festival, which lasts from April 6 to 11.
The festival, which hosts 26 Arab and foreign bands from 13 countries, extended for the first time from Beheira province in Delta to Cairo and Alexandria.
The open air theatre at the Cairo Opera House was packed with Chinese and Egyptian audiences who enjoyed the festive and famed Chinese folk melodies performed by artists from Jiangsu Women's Traditional Orchestra, which is the first professional women orchestra that performs traditional Chinese folk music.
The famous band has previously played in countries, including the Neitherlands, Australia, Lebanon, and Morocco.
Ghada Ahmed, 15-year-old student who plays piano, said it was her first time watching a live Chinese musical show.
"I'm a musician and I really admired what the Chinese band has performed," said the girl, who came to the concert with her parents.
Ahmed said there are many similarities between the Egyptian and Chinese music as they use similar instruments and musical scales.
Her father, Ahmed Mahmoud, who learns Chinese at the Chinese Cultural Center in Cairo, said he liked the performance of an old Egyptian musical piece.
"They Chinese artists played the piece skillfully. It was a pure Egyptian music with a Chinese soul," Mahmoud said.
The man added that the performance showed that music is a common language between different cultures and a strong bridge linking the people of the globe.
Cultural exchanges benefited from China and Egypt upgrading their relations to a comprehensive strategic partnership in 2014, with artists, cultural and musical delegations paying mutual visits.
Through such moves, both countries want to boost friendly ties and enhance mutual understandings and future development.
Ge Chengli, deputy director-general of Lianyungang's Culture, Radio, Television and Tourism Bureau, said the orchestra's participation in the festival is meant to enhance cooperation between China and Egypt.
"We're able to know more about the Chinese culture and the Egyptian audience can know what Chinese folk music is like," he told Xinhua. "Through folk music, we can tell the story of China to the world."
He added that the performance is meaningful under China's Belt and Road Initiative, stressing that Egypt is one of the most important Belt and Road countries.
Yan Yan, chief performer of the orchestra, said the music and songs performed at the festival are well-known in China, such as the Jasmine Flower.
"We can feel the passion of the audience. We hope to study more Chinese folk music, in order to make our performance more joyful for the audience," she told Xinhua.

Medical cyclotron is a machine used in the medical imaging and research field to make relatively short lived radioisotopes. Cyclotron is a particle accelerator. It is an electrically powered machine that produces a beam of charged that is then further used in medical, industrial and research processes. A cyclotron machine takes the hybrid atom (these are hydrogen that make up water except they have a negative charge) and accelerate it to very high speed. When this procedure has enough energy, the energy is spent into a target where the reaction is taken. The new element that is produced with the strike of positive ion and neutron is radioactive element that is used for the treatment in medical research. The major isotope that is used for the cyclotron is fluorine-18. Its ability to decay itself to produce positrons, which is used around the world for Positron Emission Tomography and PET scans. PET scans are used for the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. With the product obtained from a cyclotron, we can produce a wide variety of isotopes of our interest for medical imaging such as iodine-123, Technetium-99m and Gallium-67. The advantage of using cyclotron rather than buying isotopes for medical application is that as the isotopes has short half-life period. By the time an isotope reaches its destination it covers its half-life. However, by having a cyclotron in the medical facility it not only reduces the cost but also, increase the number of scans to the patients in a given day. The medical facility that used cyclotron is required to be built with extensive safety such as multiple levels of shielding, monitoring and protection to ensure safe operations.
Medical Cyclotron Market: Drivers and Restraints

Shayda Bastani Rad haunted by hitman's gun
Shayda Bastani Rad haunted by hitman's gun
June 08, 2009 12:00am
WITH her former fiance shot dead at 29 and her new lover fighting for his life, Shayda Bastani Rad has seen more violence and tragedy in her 23 years than anyone should see in their lifetime.
Ms Bastani was recovering at home last night after being shot through the thigh when a hitman tried to kill her boyfriend Fadi Ibrahim, the brother of Kings Cross identity John and former bikie Sam.
Mr Ibrahim, 35, remained in a critical condition after undergoing his fourth round of surgery for five gunshot wounds to the stomach, arms and chest suffered as the couple sat in his black Lamborghini outside his Castle Cove home about 10.30pm Friday.
Roger Rogerson: Kings Cross' great survivour a cut above
While the Ibrahim family's lawyer Stephen Alexander went to extreme lengths to protect Ms Bastani's identity, The Daily Telegraph can reveal the young woman's lengthy involvement in the underworld violence involving the Ibrahim clan.
Now dating Fadi Ibrahim, the stunning brunette was previously engaged to one of his close friends Faouzi Abou Jibal.
Gallery: Pictures from the scene
He was shot dead while on the run for his role in the murder of Fat Pizza funnyman George Nassour's brother Robin Nassour.
Mr Nassour was stabbed in the basement carpark of a Chiswick apartment. It followed a dispute with Michael Ibrahim outside the DCM nightclub, owned by his brother John Ibrahim, on New Year's Eve 2006.
While Michael Ibrahim is serving 6½ years for the killing, Abou Jibal was never sentenced over the killing
Special section: Inside Sydney's bikie bloodshed
He was found dead in a Lakemba park with a single gunshot to his back in May 2006.
Ibrahim's cousins Mouhamed Tajjour and Sleiman Tajjour were jailed for Mr Nassour's manslaughter last year.
Silencer used in shooting attack
Court records reveal Ms Bastani identified the knife used to kill Mr Nassour as the one she purchased on eBay as a gift for her fiance in December 2005.
A source close to the family said yesterday Ms Bastani was suffering nightmares after Friday's shooting.
John Ibrahim and Underbelly 3
"She is freaking out," the source said. "She is a nice person, a young girl. She is petrified."
John Ibrahim visited Royal North Shore Hospital to see his brother Fadi, surrounded by a heavy entourage of men.
In a statement on his behalf, Mr Alexander said his client expressed "gratitude and sincere thanks" to hospital staff and sought to "dispel speculation there will be retaliation by, or on behalf of, the Ibrahim family".
"My client has absolute faith in the police investigation and is confident that the police will bring the perpetrators to justice."
In relation to that statement, Middle East organised crime squad commander Superintendent Deb Wallace said: "Police are encouraged by the comments and will work with the family. We haven't identified anyone that we would identify as a suspect.
"For now we are just gathering as much forensic evidence as we can."
The youngest of the four, Fadi Ibrahim has, until now, been considered the less conspicuous of the Ibrahim brothers.
Sam Ibrahim, 48, was the former president of the Nomads outlaw motorcycle group before the gang split in 2007, forming Notorious. Fadi Ibrahim was shot at close range by a lone shooter armed with a silenced weapon as he sat in the driver's seat of the Lamborghini by his girlfriend's side.
It is believed the gunman had been lying in wait on the Castle Cove golf course.
A 17-year-old resident reported hearing Ms Bastani scream for help to save her boyfriend's life , before calling an ambulance.

New York Knicks coaching search: Ranking top 5 candidates from Budenholzer to Larrañaga
Of the 11 candidates the Knicks have interviewed to become their next head coach, some have extensive NBA coaching experience while others have none at all. Some are assistant coaches considered rising stars in the sport, while others have spent more time as a television analyst than on a sideline since their playing days ended.
While the candidates they've spoken to have different backgrounds and perspectives, Knicks president Steve Mills and general manager Scott Perry made it clear what they're looking for.
After firing Jeff Hornacek after the Knicks' season finale, Mills and Perry said they would like to find a defensive-minded coach that can improve accountability and communication, and who is willing to work with all parts of the organization.
Story continues below video.
They also need a coach who's adept at player development, something the rebuilding Knicks will be doing extensively for the next couple seasons, next year especially.
And it sounds like the Knicks could be making a selection soon. A league source confirmed to NorthJersey.com that all the candidates have been interviewed.
Some candidates at the start of the search were considered frontrunners, including Mark Jackson. But his tumultuous ending with the Warriors seems to be hurting him this time around.
Others, like Mike Budenholzer, emerged as top candidates late.
So of the candidates the Knicks have spoken to, how do they rank in terms of what the Knicks need?
Here's NorthJersey.com's ranking of the top-five candidates:
1. Mike Budenholzer
Budenholzer makes the most sense to become the next Knicks head coach. He's had success as a head coach in the NBA, leading the Atlanta Hawks to a 213-197 record with four playoff appearances over five years as their head coach. And that came after he spent 17 years as an assistant coach on Gregg Popovich's staff with the San Antonio Spurs.
He's a bright offensive mind whose teams have played well defensively, and he's also been lauded for his ability to develop players.
The Hawks ranked among the NBA's top-five teams in defensive rating in three of Budenholzer's four seasons in Atlanta. Of course, he also had the players who could play well defensively, and it would be incumbent on Mills and Perry to get him the necessary talent.
Still, Budenholzer, the 2015 Coach of the Year, has shown his system worked.
It also doesn't hurt that Budenholzer helped revitalize Tim Hardaway Jr.'s career with Hardaway went to Atlanta.
But one big problem could stand in the Knicks' way: The Milwaukee Bucks.
They're going to be looking for a new coach. With one of the NBA's top young stars in Giannis Antetokounmpo, Milwaukee's already a contender. That might be a more appealing coaching job.
2. David Fizdale
Fizdale is a highly touted young coach whose had a lot of success in his time as the head coach of the Memphis Grizzlies. He led Memphis to a 43-39 record and a playoff appearance in his first season, before getting fired 19 games into this past season reportedly following a rift with Marc Gasol.
Fizdale previously spent eight years on Erik Spoelstra's staff in Miami, helping the Heat win two championships.
His disagreement with Gasol aside, Fizdale relates to players well and got the Grizzlies to buy into his system.
Fizdale will be an NBA head coach again. Whether it's with the Knicks remains to be seen.
3. Jerry Stackhouse
Stackhouse became a hot candidate pretty quickly. He was among the first candidates the Knicks spoke to and the 43-year-old has also interviewed with the Orlando Magic and Charlotte Hornets.
His candidacy is more unique since he doesn't have much NBA coaching experience.
After a 19-year playing career, Stackhouse joined Dwane Casey's coaching staff with the Toronto Raptors. He then became the head coach of Toronto's G-League affiliate, Raptors 905, and found success quickly, leading the team to a G-League championship his first year.
But there are plenty of people in the NBA who believe Stackhouse is prepared to become an NBA head coach.
"He's very, very close to an ideal candidate," said P.J. Carlesimo, who coached Stackhouse with the Brooklyn Nets in 2012-13. "Not just for a Knick job, but for any job that opens up, I think. I'm not saying he's done paying his dues or anything like that, but he's already very well prepared."
Carlesimo pointed to Stackhouse's successful playing career, ability to develop players, hold them accountable and his overall character as reasons why he is a qualified candidate.
4. David Blatt
Blatt's first stint as an NBA head coach was tumultuous, but one thing is certain: He's a good coach.
Blatt has had a ton of success coaching overseas, and his experience coaching European players is valuable since the Knicks have three on their roster, two of whom are considered cornerstone pieces.
The Knicks would also be getting a coach with NBA experience. Blatt went 83-40 with the Cleveland Cavaliers, leading them to an Eastern Conference championship his first season. Blatt, 58, was fired during his second season reportedly because of a bad relationship with LeBron James.
Blatt might get another chance with the Knicks. He was a teammates at Princeton with both Mills and Craig Robinson, the team's VP of player development.
Blatt's relationship with James, though, presents some concern. He apparently got along with the rest of the Cavaliers, but not relating well to the world's best player hurt him. Plus, James has a strong influence throughout the NBA. It's possible free agents (in 2019 when the Knicks have cap space) would be wary of signing up to play for Blatt.
But Blatt's success as a coach should outweigh one bad relationship, even if that relationship was with LeBron James.
5. Jay Larrañaga
Larrañaga is considered a rising coaching star. The son of Miami men's basketball coach Jim Larrañaga, Jay has been an assistant with the Boston Celtics since 2012 and is now considered Brad Stevens' lead assistant.
Stevens isn't a bad coach to learn from.
He does have some head coaching, though it's in the G-League. He coached the Erie Bayhawks for two seasons, amassing a 60-40 record with a pair of playoff appearances.
As far as player development goes, look at the way Terry Rozier, Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown have played this season. Larrañaga certainly played a big part in that.

Press Release
Catalyst Biosciences Announces Preclinical Proof-of-Concept Data of Gene Therapy Candidate CB 2679d-GT for the Treatment of Hemophilia B
Results show a four-fold reduction in bleeding time for CB 2679d-GT and a three-fold improvement in clotting activity when compared with an AAV-encoding Padua vector
Data presented at the 12th Annual
"These results are encouraging and demonstrate preclinical proof-of-concept for CB 2679d-GT, a gene therapy candidate encoding our engineered Factor IX as a potential new treatment for hemophilia B," said
The 20-week preclinical study compared the activity of CB 2679d-GT with that of an AAV-encoding FIX-R338L Padua (FIX-Padua) in hemophilia B mice. Treatment with both CB 2679d-GT and FIX-Padua showed a reduced clotting time within the first week that remained stable up to the 20-week study endpoint. CB 2679d-GT demonstrated a statistically significant, three-fold improvement in clotting activity (p <0.04), compared with FIX-Padua. Furthermore, when evaluated at 20 weeks, there was a four-fold reduction in bleeding time after treatment with CB 2679d-GT compared to FIX-Padua at both the 5x109 vg/mouse (p < 0.01) and the 1x1010 vg/mouse (p < 0.01) dose levels. These results suggest that CB 2679d-GT exhibits a superior hemostatic potency when compared with FIX-Padua.
A copy of the poster can be accessed on the Events and Presentations section of the Catalyst website.
Catalyst is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing novel medicines to address hematology indications. Catalyst is focused on the field of hemostasis, including the subcutaneous prophylaxis of hemophilia and facilitating surgery in individuals with hemophilia.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties.
