Nobody likes that unsettling feeling when you turn on your kitchen tap only to get a stream of cloudy, fizzy water. It's something that's happened to nearly everyone, no matter where you live, and it can't help but make you wonder if your water's clean enough to drink - and just who exactly is monitoring it.
For New Yorkers, the question of clean water is a worry-free one, for the most part. New York State water is among the cleanest in the nation. But sometimes it's not the water source itself that building and unit owners have to worry about; it's what happens to the water as it travels through city pipes or into plumbing systems. Any number of things can happen to water as it traverses those systems, but luckily, there are a lot of options available for managing, purifying and keeping the drinking water in your building safe.
According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), better than 90 percent of water systems in the United States meet its standards for tap water quality. The system that services New York City is one of those. New Yorkers' water comes from a network of 19 reservoirs and three controlled lakes in a nearly 2,000-square-mile watershed north of the city. The vast majority of that water comes from the Catskill/Delaware System, with a smaller portion coming from the Croton System upstate. A very small percentage comes from wells. All told, the New York City reservoir systems provide an average of 1.3 billion gallons of drinking water to more than eight million residents daily.
The City of New York's Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) collects well over a thousand water samples each month to monitor quality and safety at fixed sampling stations throughout the city. Workers test for a number of contaminants based on guidelines established by the EPA and the New York State Department of Health. Information is collected on bacteria, chlorine levels, pH, inorganic and organic pollutants, odor, and more.
One important thing to remember, according to the EPA, is that there is no such thing as "naturally" pure water; all water contains impurities. The trick is to maintain safe, low levels of impurities, which is exactly what the city and state test for each month.

For the past few weeks we have planned on gathering equipment that we wanted to use such as instruments and gear for our library music production.
Our pre-production plan helped us to have a set list of equipment and mic placements so that we could quickly get set up and plan for recording sessions for the time ahead.
Mic's used
Percussions (SM57 Dynamic)
Ambient Mic (Behringer C2 Pair & AKG D112)
Vocal Mic (U87 Condenser)
Guitar Amp Mic (C414)
Equipment used
Guitars: Epiphone Les Paul Guitar, Yamaha Bass
Midi: Akai MPK49 (keyboard)
Gear: DI Box, Raven JLM Preamp (BA500,LA500A)
Mic Stand & Music Stand
XLR / ¼ Jack Leads
For certain percussions we have decided upon sampling them such as snares and cymbals to get a more live feel and to produce our own samples that we can work with in the near future.
For Jordans track we incorporated the use of an ambient mic and a close range mic to capture percussions such as a snares and some cymbal scrapes. For more eerie ambient tracks such as Josh's we chose more controlled ways of handling percussion properties such as the timbre and lenghts. We hard some very weird sounds such as cymbal hits and cymbal scrapes to capture some more metallic sounds for Josh's track.
We decided on some microphone placements such as the X-Y on the stereo tracks and the standard Dynamic and Condenser setup to capture more aggressive transient sounds. These tracks were routed through a junction box into the LA500A preamp.
For our library music project one of the main instruments we used were an electric guitar and bass. For that we used the Raven BA500 pre-amp to capture a direct input signal into our DAW. We used this method to get a clean and un-affected sound, however to reach our desired emotion/mood for this track we used Guitar Rig by Native Instruments to custom make the different sounds for the different guitar and bass tracks.
We wanted to use Outboard gear such as FX pedals to get a more analog sound but we decided on the use of software rigs to emulate it since we could switch between different sounds on the fly and experiment with different moods.
The sounds that we recorded ranged from musical progressions to weird string scratches. For the most part, the built in preamp worked as intended but some problems such as hardware latency caused some recordings to be difficult but for the most part, it was solved after we froze some tracks or initiated a system restart.
We also wrote a risk assessment plan incase any problems did arise which was fortunate since a guitar string snapped and we quickly replaced it. Another issue that arose was the 1/4 input jack was loose which created cuts and crackles in the recording. However after trouble shooting and pre-planning we did prepare and the replacement of cables was quickly resolved.
We have also used a midi keyboard to input midi data for some of our tracks. Most notably we used the keyboard to capture musical ideas that could be transferred between the piano and guitar so that composing music would be easier since we had an overview of what feel of the music would sound like before actually layering any instruments into it. The midi keyboard was also used in conjunction with Kontakt 5 to provide some sampler instruments such as an e-piano.
Some problems also arose since kontakt is generally a taxing on the CPU, we frozen the track before creating new track so that there were no crackling or input latency from inputting more midi tracks.
Since most of us arent muscially trained and so, we knew the use of midi would be a quick way to jot ideas and we had even taken pictures of chords so that we knew the progressions we were playing incase we ever needed to re-record. This was used in both the guitar and keyboard so that we could get visual representation rather than writing the chords down since it was faster and easier to read.
Below is Jordan's track which incorporates all the aspects above using both in the box and outboard gear to create the track.

Austin Daye was looking for a first-round guarantee. He still doesn't have one, but the Gonzaga sophomore forward is willing to take the risk by staying in the draft.
Gonzaga coach Mark Few said Monday that he spoke with Daye, just 40 minutes before the 5 p.m. ET deadline to withdraw, and Daye told him he wasn't returning to school.
"We're excited for Austin. It's what he wants to do," Few said in a news release. "He was great to coach and was a great teammate. He will be missed."
Daye worked out Monday morning with the New York Knicks, who are unlikely to select him since the Knicks select at No. 8. Daye has also worked out for New Jersey (11), Charlotte (12), Phoenix (14) and Detroit (15).
The 6-foot-10 Daye is considered one of the most skilled players in the draft, but questions about his toughness and ability to take the pounding of the NBA have dogged him throughout the draft process. His father, Darren, played in the NBA for the Boston Celtics.
Daye becomes the third Bulldogs player to enter the NBA draft early, joining Paul Rogers in 1997 and Adam Morrison in 2006. Both left their junior seasons.
Daye averaged 12.7 points and 5.8 rebounds per game as a sophomore. He averaged 10.5 points and 4.7 rebounds as a freshman.
Losing Daye is a hit for Gonzaga, which already was losing seniors Jeremy Pargo, Josh Heytvelt and Micah Downs. But Gonzaga does bring back guards Matt Bouldin, Steven Gray and Demetri Goodson, who all contributed plenty during the Zags' run to the Sweet 16 this past season. Few said he expects a collection of players, including small forward Kelly Olynyk out of Canada to spell some of Daye's minutes and frontcourt scoring.

Branding an ambitious online marketplace
Summary: Lack of professionalism and standards used to define Romania's repairmen market. That is, until Ajusto showed up. We helped build the differentiators and the brand for this ambitious start-up, and the demand for its services surpassed all expectations immediately after launch.
Our client wanted to build a repairmen marketplace for Bucharest, Romania's capital city. Initially, they only envisaged an online platform that looked good and communicated well, since most of the existing competitors (about 60 of them) had been created by repairmen themselves and lacked these basic elements. However, following a qualitative and desk research, we identified the real market opportunity: people needed (and were prepared to pay for) high work and behaviour standards before anything else.
Calling for a repairman in Romania is a tricky business. Many of them do not show up on time, the work they do is often unreliable, and the initial price usually increases as the project progresses. Moreover, independent repairmen do not issue invoices and ask to be paid in cash or, if they work for a firm, they still expect a cash tip. Therefore, Romanians prefer to call on a relative or acquaintance, because they feel they cannot rely on repairmen they do not know. But handy relatives do not always come handy.
So, what do Romanians do then? Well, sometimes they are lucky enough to get a referral from a friend, one that's also available when needed. The other, more frequent case, is that they collect horror stories.
Therefore, our brand strategy completed our client's business strategy with the critical differentiators that everyone silently wished for:
The name we created – Ajusto – combines the ideas of adjustment (repair), help (aiuto in Italian) and the right thing to do, by the law and by standards (just). The slogan clarifies the positioning: By the rules, not by ear (Romanian: După standard, nu după ureche). This slogan became a social media hashtag. The logo states the brand scope: repairs and adjustments for the household.
orders were placed on
Ajusto.ro three months
after launch
The demand for Ajusto's services was so high so fast, that the platform, launched in beta, had to halt its promotional efforts for a while, and recruit more handymen. Finding enough of the right professionals was in fact the greatest challenge and Ajusto had to supplement its recruitment team with new members to achieve the critical number of handymen before resuming their marketing efforts.
Launched in September 2016, Ajusto aimed to reach 300 orders by year-end. It did more than double that before Christmas, and things could not look more promising for them in the new year.

|Kansas State
LINCOLN — Nebraska enhanced its position Saturday to play for a conference championship next month — and perhaps a whole lot more next year.
The Huskers' 41-15 dismantling of fifth-ranked Kansas State on a picture-perfect November afternoon left Nebraska needing to win at Colorado on Nov. 26 to punch its ticket for the Dec. 4 Big 12 Conference championship game in San Antonio.
The victory, coupled with third-ranked Tennessee's loss to Arkansas, could reward the Nos. 6 and 7 Huskers with a big jump in the ratings today. To a man, the Nebraska's players said Saturday that they are not worried about where they might fit into the national picture and the race for the Sugar Bowl, where the title is to be decided Jan. 4.
But the Huskers agree that their national title hopes, seemingly non-existent after last month's loss at Texas, are improving week by week.
"Three weeks ago, we thought we were out of it," Husker linebacker Carlos Polk said. "Now, it's starting to become more of a reality. But we know we have to take care of our side of it before we can even think about that."
The Huskers took care of previously unbeaten Kansas State in such dominant fashion that not even a school-record 10 fumbles — three of which were lost — made a difference in the outcome. The Huskers, with quarterback Eric Crouch leading the way with 158 yards on 27 carries, finished with 378 yards against the country's No. 2 defense.
Nebraska, which came into the game fourth nationally in total defense, matched its average yield by limiting Kansas State to 234 yards. The Huskers forced four fumbles, intercepted a pass, sacked Wildcats' quarterback Jonathan Beasley and Adam Helm five times and harassed the pair into a 7-of-29 passing performance.
"We got a lot of pressure on them, and I think that took a toll, "said Husker rover back Mike Brown, who intercepted a pass, recovered a fumble and finished with six tackles in his final home game at Memorial Stadium. "We kept putting the pressure on them, and things started happening."
In addition to sending the seniors out with a win in their final home appearance, Nebraska's win before a 233rd consecutive sellout crowd of 77,744 allowed the Huskers to:
Improve to 9-1 overall and 6-1 in the Big 12's North Division. A victory over Colorado would make Nebraska the division's representative in the Big 12 title game regardless of what Kansas State does in its final game against Missouri. The Wildcats, also 9-1 and 6-1, could earn a repeat trip to the championship game with a win over Missouri and a Nebraska loss at Colorado.
Extend their streak of nine-win seasons to 31, a continuing NCAA record. Nebraska also won for the seventh straight time at home and for the 16th time in a row at Memorial Stadium against Kansas State. The Wildcats, who snapped Nebraska's 29-game winning streak in the series with last season's 40-30 win in Manhattan, will have to wait until the next century to end its string of losses in Lincoln that stretches back to 1968.
Snap Kansas State's 21-game conference winning streak and the Wildcats' string of 10 straight Big 12 road wins.
Gain their first win over a higher-ranked team since 1994, when a No. 3 Nebraska team defeated a No. 2 Colorado team at home. The win also finished off the Huskers' 23rd unbeaten home season, seven of which have occurred this decade.
All that might be secondary to what Nebraska did to polish its image as a national championship contender. It took on a grimy tinge in the 24-20 loss at Texas, and wasn't helped by a lethargic first-half effort in an Oct. 30 game at Kansas. But in its last 10 quarters, Nebraska has outscored Kansas, Texas A&M and Kansas State 102-23 and outyarded the trio 1,105 to 501.
"The Texas loss was tremendously tough on us," Nebraska Coach Frank Solich said. "We felt a little uneasy going into the Kansas game as far as where we were emotionally. But to their credit, when it caved in on them in the first half against Kansas, they had the fight and they had the character to stand up and get it done.
"That was a big turning point for that football team. From that moment on, they've played tremendously well and tremendously hard."
Where Nebraska fits into the national championship picture, Solich said, is of no concern at this point.
"I'll see where this game plays into it when the voters vote and they tabulate it all," Solich said. "I think we're playing well right now, but there are other teams around the country that are playing well. Hopefully, the system will put the two best teams in the national championship game, whoever that might be."
The Huskers displayed a national championship-caliber defensive performance against Kansas State. Twelve of the Wildcats' 16 offensive possessions lasted no more than four plays, and Kansas State was 3 of 15 on third-down conversions. Two plays — a 55-yard pass from Beasley to Quincy Morgan and a 29-yarder from Helm to Morgan — accounted for more than a third of the Wildcats' offensive output.
Nebraska's ability to hold Kansas State without a first down in the first 13 minutes of the third quarter proved critical in the Huskers' protection of the 24-9 lead they carried out of halftime.
The Wildcats went three-and-out on their first three possessions of the second half, then were unsuccessful on a fake punt near midfield on their fourth.
"We knew they were a second-half team, and that's something we harped on during halftime," Brown said. "They're a team that seems to play better when they're down. We really wanted to come out in the second half and give them no hope at all.
"When we came out and established ourselves right there, it was almost like they felt they had no shot and it was too much for them."
The Huskers sealed Kansas State's fate with a 17-point fourth quarter that featured a 30-yard field goal by Josh Brown, a 46-yard scoring run by Dahrran Diedrick and linebacker Eric Johnson's 15-yard return for a touchdown after Helm fumbled when he was sacked by Kyle Vanden Bosch.
Brown set up the first two scores in the final quarter, forcing and recovering a Helm fumble that led to Brown's field goal. On Kansas State's next possession, Brown intercepted at the Wildcats' 46-yard line and Diedrick scored on the next play.
Diedrick, who started the game as Nebraska's No. 3 I-back, finished with 93 yards on 14 carries in his most significant contribution of the season. He got his chance after Dan Alexander and Correll Buckhalter lost first-quarter fumbles, with Alexander's occurring on the opening play from scrimmage at the Nebraska 28-yard line.
That marked the second straight week Nebraska fumbled on the first play of the game. And for the second straight week, the defense and Vanden Bosch stepped up to keep the game scoreless. The defense held on downs, and Vanden Bosch blocked Jamie Rheem's 40-yard field-goal attempt to snap a string of 15 straight successful kicks.
Vanden Bosch also blocked two field goals last week, including one after Texas A&M failed to convert after recovering Bobby Newcombe's game-opening fumble.
"Like I said last week, the biggest play of the game right there," Brown said. "They were in our backyard again, but it was weird. I had this feeling like it was going to happen again when they lined up for that field goal. He's just one of those guys who gives everything he has on every single play."
Crouch, who set a school record for carries by a quarterback, got Nebraska's first touchdown on a 30-yard run with 6:05 left in the first quarter. The Huskers squandered a chance to drop Kansas State in a deep hole, forcing a fumble on the kickoff that Ralph Brown returned to the Wildcats' 1-yard line.
Buckhalter fumbled on the first play, but Nebraska managed to get two points out of the deal when Randy Stella blocked Mike Ronsick's punt out of the end zone. Nebraska took the ensuing free kick and drove 73 yards in 11 plays, with Crouch getting the touchdown on an 18-yard run 41 seconds before the end of the period.
"He's a pretty elusive guy," Kansas State linebacker Ben Leber said. "He's extremely fast. He's got so many threats. He's probably the toughest quarterback we've faced."
Kansas State trimmed Nebraska's lead to 16-6 when Beasley capped a seven-play, 53-yard drive with a 1-yard sneak. The Huskers countered by moving 62 yards in 14 plays, with Willie Miller getting the touchdown on a 4-yard run. The score came two plays after Crouch, being spun to the ground by Kansas State defensive end Darren Howard, managed to get off a 14-yard completion to tight end Tracy Wistrom.
"I didn't know Eric got hit until someone told me later on that he did," said Wistrom, who had four catches for 68 yards. "I wouldn't have known that he did because he threw a perfect ball."
Crouch finished the game with 69 yards passing, completing 8 of 17. One of the completions was to himself on a ball that was batted into the air. It resulted in a 14-yard loss.
Kansas State cut Nebraska's lead to 24-9 by getting a 35-yard field-goal from Rheem with 25 seconds left in the half. Being up by 15 points hardly had the Huskers in a comfort zone against a Kansas State team that had wiped out 21-point deficits in comeback victories over Iowa State and Oklahoma State.
"We knew they couldn't play four quarters with Nebraska, that we were just too physical for them," Polk said. "We came out in the second half knowing we were going to have to dominate. We knew that first defensive stand was going to be an important one, and I think we deflated them when we made them go three-and-out on that first series."
That set a tone that Kansas State was unable to overcome. In the end, a game that was expected to be a down-to-the-wire battle turned into one where Brown was signing autographs for fans with a minute and half to play.
"No way did I expect that," he said. "I was expecting a tough, four-quarter game. At the same time, I knew we were capable of putting on a dominating performance. And we did."
In doing so, the Huskers sent a message that they're not out of the title race.
"We need some things to fall into place," Crouch said. "But we know what we're capable of doing if we just focus on the things that we can control."

Each year, people across the country vow to change their current lifestyles in an attempt to become healthier. So, every year people across the UK pledge a New Year's resolution in an attempt to change their lifestyle for the better. However, some resolutions are more likely to be achieved than others.
YouGov conducted a survey throughout 2016 which revealed that 63% of Brits planned to make a New Year's resolution. Despite this, it was said that only 8% of people actually kept their New Year's resolutions. In fact, 32% admitted they usually break their resolution by the end of January. Here, we take a look at some of the most common New Year's resolutions, and investigate how achievable they actually are.
The Quest to Quit Smoking
In 2016, research showed that around 15.8% of adults smoked in the UK, which equates to around 7.6 million of the population. However, these figures do in fact show a significant decline in the number of smokers across the UK when compared to previous years.
Since the 2007 ban, smoking has become less common and evidence has proved that more people have made an effort to quit. Around half of the 2.3 million people using e-cigarettes say they use them to quit smoking, and 22% of them vape because they believe it is less harmful than smoking cigarettes.
According to The Telegraph, 9% of New Year's resolutions made across the UK are to stop smoking. However, the report also said that half of those who set New Year's resolutions had their doubts about not sticking to it.
New Year, New Physique
After a month of festivities, joining a gym in the quest to lose weight is a very common resolution. The Telegraph reported that this New Year's resolution to exercise more was most common in 2017 at 38%. Come the New Year, many people want to get rid of the Christmas bulge fast, which is why many set new fitness goals and exercise more.
As of May 2017, around one in every seven people was a member of a gym across the country. January is said to be one of the busiest months for UK gyms. In fact, according to Google Trends, searches for 'gyms' and 'gym memberships' have peaked in January every year for the past five years. January 2017 exceeded every year previous, with 405,280 searches for 'gyms' and 120,760 searches for 'gym memberships' proving this to be a very common resolution.
Whether the aim is to lose a few pounds or to simply improve fitness levels, the New Year is usually a fresh start for those looking to work on their physique or even starting early to work towards their goals for their summer holidays, it is always evident that January motivation is everywhere.
Despite this, evidence shows that this motivation is only temporary, looking at the months of February and March each year, research show that interest seems to significantly drop. Now that social media has claimed such a large influence in the fitness industry through the likes of bloggers, those resolving to exercise more and reach their fitness goals have access to more inspiration and encouragement.
Diets, workouts and workout supplements are becoming increasingly pushed out across social media through the likes of personal trainers, fitness enthusiasts and dieticians. They use Instagram and social media apps alike to encourage their followers, as public figures and fitness influencers, to shout about their favourite workout routines, diet plans and choice of protein shakes, drinks and supplements — which helps encourage people to achieve their goals and not give up.
Dry January
Dry January is a very common New Year's resolution. Plus, it is a New Year's resolution that only needs to last one month, therefore making this resolution seem more achievable. Dry January, or drinking less alcohol in general, has proven to be one of the most popular New Year's resolutions. According to The Telegraph, 12% of resolution-makers wanted to drink less alcohol in the coming year — and according to AlcoholPolicy.net, one in six Brits attempted to have a month off alcohol in 2016, which included 26,000 official sign-ups. The media provides plenty of exposure and encouragement to participants, with 1,549 media mentions of the initiatives in the UK in 2016, too.
Social media also helps to provide a stronger indication around the popularity and user engagement of the campaign, with the official Facebook page acquiring 46,000 likes. To date, Instagram has been host to 70,487 posts associated with #dryjanuary and 9,363 posts for #dryjan.
According to AlcoholConcern.org.uk, 49% of Dry January participants said they lost weight during the month-long period, whilst 62% said they had better sleep and more energy as a result. 79% said they saved money!
New Diets
Diets are carried out throughout the year by Brits, with two thirds of people admitting that they are on a diet 'most of the time' — however, how successful are New Year diets?
There is no real surprise that diet-related New Year's resolutions are second on the list for the UK, with exercising and setting new fitness goals topping the list. In the same article from The Telegraph, 33% of resolutions made were to lose weight and 32% were to eat more healthily. This is significantly more common amongst women than men; according to YouGov, 36% of women and over a quarter of men (26%) aim to eat more healthily.
In order to achieve better results, rather than a temporary fix, it is recommended that you choose a diet that becomes a lifestyle change. Veganism is just one example — supported by the Veganuary campaign that runs every January and encourages people to go vegan for one month. In January 2017, over 60,000 people signed up to Veganuary, a 260% growth on the previous year. This campaign looks to be achieving its aim too — with a 350% increase in the number of vegans now living in the UK.
Whatever resolution you choose to commit to, all resolutions require hardwork. Whether it is to do with your health and fitness, or even improving your family, social and work life; always set out a realistic resolution so that you can make it a reality. Stay motivated and you'll soon see the benefits of your lifestyle change. Even though, most people struggle to see their New Year's resolution through, stay strong and become a part of that 8% that are successful!

mythailandtours.com that Thailand is, much can be expected in terms of breathtaking natural beauty from many of its various tourist areas, from the most popular to the lesser known but equally destination. One of these spots is that the Krabi province in the southern part of this beautiful Kingdom. This particular destination is an all-in-one traveler's paradise, offering tranquil
Inland attractions, relaxing beach experience, along with its traditional magnificent sceneries. Historical buildings, marinas and yacht havens, museums and monuments, parks and natural attractions, religious sites, as well as theatres and concert halls, will make your Krabi tours encounter one of the best Thai travel that you will ever have.
As a backgrounder, you may wish to consider some of the next choice places in this regal Thai province:
Lanta Old Town
This particular area in Krabi, located on the east coast of Lanta Island, has just one irresistible charm, a way of life which has remained unchanged for the past 100 years, providing people an chance to have a glimpse of its occupants have lived their lives here in the past. Vast majority of homes and shops alike are still built on stilts. Today, an increasing number of Westerners have settled with Thai-Buddhist, Thai-Chinese, Thai-Muslim, and Chao-Lai (Sea Gypsy) inhabitants that inhabit the 100 year old teak-wood-lined roads.
Covering an area of 134 square km, this national park is constituted mainly of mountains and deep slopes, together with the plain places to be located only in a beach during its southern area. Most areas of the national park is made up of 35% incline, with the exception of the center part that's made up of 50% incline. The height of this geographical feature starts from 100 meters, using the highest peak at 488 meters above sea level.
The Lighthouse
Located across the conclusion of the west shore of Mu Koh Lanta National Park, The Lighthouse provides a panoramic view of the southernmost aspect of this island, being seated at a place which may be accessed only by scaling a three kilometer mountainous dirt passing. It is also an superb vantage point for viewing sunsets, wherein you may also have a fantastic view of the shore.
The Krabi Contemporary Art Museum
The Krabi Contemporary Art Museum is just one of the museums in Southeast Asia home the most varied and different art bits. More importantly, this tradition is a testament to the transformation of traditional Thai painting using its slow assimilation of Western influence. It's but one of the many museums in Thailand which serves as a venue for Thai artist displaying their masterpieces which has over time has become a medium for handling social, political, cultural, and even ecological issues.

Program summary
Reality Bites: Our Boys
8:00pm Tuesday, 10 February
Welcome to Canterbury Boys High, Prime Minister John Howard's old school and the setting for a compelling four-part documentary series, Our Boys, screening on ABC TV from Tuesday February 10 at 8pm.
Our Boys follows the lives of five teenage students and their teachers at this cash-strapped government school in south-west Sydney.
Filmed over a school year, it tells the personal stories of today's public education system - a school 'starved of funds', boys 'at risk' and teachers going far beyond their traditional classroom roles.
Canterbury Boys has a rich mix of nationalities - 90 per cent of the boys come from non-English speaking backgrounds. Many are refugees or come from disadvantaged homes.
This week, cheeky, disruptive 15 year-old Filipe Mahe from Tonga has slipped through the net. He's made it into Year 9 without being able to read or write.
Through the year, the magnitude of his problem is revealed. Teachers, frustrated by his poor attendance and bad behaviour, realise that behind Filipe's tough exterior and flamboyant antics is a seriously depressed boy with a tragic past. But the school has neither the staff nor money to give him the intensive remedial teaching he needs.
Filipe, however, has a great talent. He's a beautiful dancer. Encouraged by the school, he takes the lead role in a Polynesian inter-school dancing competition. With his confidence boosted, the episode follows the efforts of Head Welfare teacher Kevin Bolten to get outside help, as Filipe slowly overcomes his shame to reveal a heartbreaking desire to learn to read.
Production Details
Our Boys is a Maidstone Films production, in association with ABC TV. Financed by the Film Finance Corporation, Australia. The producer and director is Kerry Brewster. The co-producer and editor is Andrea Lang. The executive producers are Dasha Ross and David Jowsey.
Rating: PG

LABOUR party bosses refused Kezia Dugdale permission to take part in the reality TV show I'm A Celebrity … Get Me Out Of Here!, the new Scottish Labour leader said.
Richard Leonard, who was elected to the top job on Saturday, said his predecessor had sought permission from Labour leaders before heading to the Australian jungle.
But he added his understanding was that the party had not agreed to it.
Labour MSPs at Holyrood will now have to consider if the former leader, who dramatically quit the job in August, should be suspended or not.
UK Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has already said that this would not be appropriate, arguing it was Ms Dugdale's choice to take part in the TV programme, which also includes boxer Amir Khan, Boris Johnson's father Stanley and The Saturdays' singer Vanessa White.
But Mr Leonard made clear that the party in Scotland would consider imposing such a sanction.
He told BBC Radio Scotland's Good Morning Scotland programme: "I've said over the weekend that we need to consider it and I've also expressed my own personal disappointment that that was a decision she has chosen to make.
"There are issues, not just the fact that she is there and the kind of programme it is and people's view of that, there is also a question about whether she got permission to do it."
Pressed on whether Ms Dugdale had been given the party's backing to take part in the show, he stated: "My understanding is she sought permission and wasn't given permission."
Mr Leonard added: "There is going to need to be a proper discussion about it, the circumstances around it and whether it is appropriate to take action or not.
"I am not persuaded the immediate step that the Labour Party needs to take is to suspend Kezia from membership of the Labour Party but I do think we need to have a discussion about it."
Ms Dugdale remains an MSP for the Lothians region, and her decision to take part in the programme prompted an angry reaction from many within the party
Fellow Labour MSP Neil Findlay described the move as "utterly ludicrous".
He said: "We have a situation where we're in the run-up to the budget in Scotland, where local government is on its knees, where the NHS is showing pressures like never before, when people's living standards are falling and they expect their MPs, MSPs, councillors, elected representatives, to be in fighting on their behalf and I don't think people would expect them to jet off around the world and sit around the camp fire eating a kangaroo's appendage.
"I think it demeans politics when people get involved in that."
But Ms Dugdale's partner, the SNP MSP Jenny Gilruth, claimed the former Labour leader was being bullied by some of those in the party.
Ms Gilruth said on Twitter: "I see @scottishlabour have developed their own unique take on the final day of #AntiBullyingWeek. Huge props, comrades! #TeamKez."
Mr Leonard said: "There was certainly a strong reaction on social media when the news broke on Saturday morning and feelings are running high about it, there's no question about it."

Detection of Cardiac SarcoidosisA Balancing Act Between Symptoms and Imaging Findings

Sarcoidosis is a rare granulomatous disorder that is associated with myocardial damage in approximately 20% of individuals, yet the cardiac involvement is only rarely evident clinically. The mechanism of myocardial damage could be a direct result of active inflammation or due to the development of myocardial scar as the inflammation heals. Myocardial damage might also occur secondary to side effects of corticosteroid treatment itself or due to potentially unrelated processes such as myocardial infarction.
Regardless of the exact nature of the myocardial damage that occurs in patients with sarcoidosis, it is believed to be associated with a significantly increased risk of death and life-threatening arrhythmias (1) even in the absence of overt signs of cardiac involvement such as the presence of symptoms or a reduction in left ventricular ejection fraction (2). Unfortunately, because cardiac sarcoidosis is a patchy disorder that often involves only small amounts of the myocardium, commonly used cardiac tests such as the electrocardiogram (ECG), echocardiogram (echo), myocardial perfusion imaging, and even endomyocardial biopsy have a poor diagnostic sensitivity (3). Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR), because of its ability to accurately identify even small areas of myocardial damage based on the presence of late gadolinium enhancement (LGE), can readily identify individuals with cardiac sarcoidosis or its associated myocardial damage (4). Recent studies have also suggested that cardiac F(18)-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (PET) may be similarly useful (5). Cardiac PET may have the additional value of being an imaging-based biomarker of inflammation that can be observed to assess for treatment response (6).
The Heart Rhythm Society recently published an expert consensus document in which CMR and PET play a central role in the diagnosis and management of patients with suspected cardiac sarcoidosis (7). According to this document, it is suggested that all patients with sarcoidosis should be screened with a history, ECG, and echo. Those with a significant abnormality on any of these examinations should be referred for CMR or PET to further evaluate for cardiac involvement and to help identify those at highest risk for sudden cardiac death.
In this issue of iJACC, Kouranos et al. (8) present data from a cohort of 321 patients with biopsy-proven extracardiac sarcoidosis who underwent a comprehensive screening program that included history, ECG, echo, event monitoring, and CMR to evaluate for cardiac involvement. This study represents the largest cohort published to date with regard to the evaluation of possible cardiac sarcoidosis. Thirty percent of patients in this cohort were diagnosed with cardiac sarcoidosis according to Heart Rhythm Society criteria. Ninety-seven percent of these patients were identified by the presence of LGE on CMR. The high diagnostic performance of CMR in this setting, however, is not surprising because the Heart Rhythm Society criteria include the presence of LGE as evidence of cardiac sarcoidosis. Similar to previously described cohorts, the presence of cardiac symptoms, ECG, event monitoring, and echo each independently had a poor sensitivity for the detection of cardiac sarcoidosis. When these tests were combined, the sensitivity for detecting cardiac sarcoidosis increased significantly but at the expense of a substantial decrease in diagnostic specificity.
The cohort was followed up for a median of 7 years, and 7.2% of individuals reached a composite endpoint that included death, life-threatening arrhythmias, unplanned hospitalization for heart failure, and cardiac transplantation (8). The presence of LGE was an independent predictor of the composite endpoint. When nonsustained ventricular tachycardia was also included as part of the composite endpoint, the hazard ratio was 5.68. In fact, those with LGE had a >25% event rate during the follow-up period that translates into an annualized rate of nearly 4% per year. Although these findings convincingly illustrate (similar to several previous studies) the utility of CMR for risk-stratifying patients with suspected cardiac sarcoidosis, the strength of the current data is somewhat limited by the fact that 9 subjects lost to follow-up had to be excluded from analysis. It must also be noted that all patients included in the cohort were white, and it is unknown if the findings from the current study would be applicable to other ethnicities.
The clinical utility of LGE imaging is well established in a variety of clinical scenarios; however, it is worrisome that in this study (8) in which CMR was performed at experienced centers, the interobserver agreement for identifying LGE for the purpose of detecting cardiac sarcoidosis was somewhat limited, with a κ of 0.78. If CMR is going to be used as a screening test for the detection of cardiac sarcoidosis, the development of analysis tools to help improve the interobserver agreement for the detection and quantification of LGE will be needed. Furthermore, the relatively high cost and lack of availability of CMR at most hospital centers may make it less well suited to serve as a screening test. Although the current study and several others strongly suggest that a "standard" echo may not be a particularly helpful test in the evaluation of and screening for cardiac sarcoidosis, newer echo approaches such as measuring global longitudinal strain may accurately identify patients with sarcoidosis who have LGE (9). Perhaps the ideal screening tool would be the use of a yet-to-be-discovered serum biomarker.
A particular strength of this study is that Kouranos et al. (8) attempt to place the imaging findings into the context of patient symptoms and ECG abnormalities. In fact, they convincingly show that CMR is a particularly useful tool in patients with sarcoidosis who have either an ECG abnormality or symptoms such as chest pain, palpitations, pre-syncope, syncope, or heart failure. In these patients, the presence of LGE was a powerful predictor of significant cardiac events. Conversely, although LGE could be found in asymptomatic patients who had no significant symptoms or ECG abnormalities, its presence was not an independent predictor of adverse events. It is unclear if these individuals were at risk for other cardiovascular complications such as the development of left ventricular dysfunction, atrial arrhythmias, or cardiac symptoms. The current data suggest that the proposed Heart Rhythm Society strategy of screening patients with sarcoidosis who have a history and ECG followed by advanced imaging only in those with an abnormality would adequately differentiate those patients who are at risk for death, life-threatening arrhythmias, unplanned hospitalization for heart failure, or cardiac transplantation. However, such a strategy may not identify lower risk patients who have myocardial damage in the absence of symptoms or ECG that could potentially still derive other benefits from medical therapy. Importantly, the current data also suggest that the Heart Rhythm Society recommendation to screen all patients with "standard" echo might not be as helpful as we would hope, in the absence of advanced measurements such as global longitudinal strain.
Although this study (8) adds significantly to the existing data regarding the role of CMR for the detection of cardiac sarcoidosis and provides important insights into potential cardiac screening strategies for patients with sarcoidosis, several important questions remain: How often should patients with sarcoidosis undergo screening for cardiac involvement? Which patients with LGE should receive an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator? Who should be treated with immunosuppressive therapy and for what duration? How should patients with cardiac sarcoidosis be monitored for treatment response? While we await the answers to these questions, the current literature seems to suggest that the use of CMR as a first-line imaging test for the detection of myocardial damage in patients with sarcoidosis may be reasonable if performed at an experienced CMR center.

Microsoft is overhauling its Edge web browser and it will be based on the open source Chromium browser. Microsoft is also bringing the new Edge browser to desktop Linux however the Linux release might be a bit delayed.
Microsoft's Internet Explorer once dominated the browser market share, but it lost its dominance in the last decade to Google's Chrome.
Microsoft tried to gain its lost position by creating Edge, a brand new web browser built with EdgeHTML and Chakra engine. It was tightly integrated with Microsoft's digital assistant Cortana and Windows 10.
However, it still could not bring the crown home and as of today, it stands at the fourth position in desktop browser usage share.
Lately, Microsoft decided to give Edge an overhaul by rebasing it on open source Chromium project. Google's Chrome browser is also based on Chromium. Chromium is also available as a standalone web browser and some Linux distributions use it at as the default search engine.
The new Microsoft Edge web browser on Linux
After initial reluctance and uncertainties, it seems that Microsoft is finally going to bring the new Edge browser to Linux.
In its annual developer conference Microsoft Ignite, the session on Edge Browser mentions that it is coming to Linux in future.
The new Edge browser will be available on 15th January 2020 but I think that the Linux release will be delayed.
Is Microsoft Edge coming to Linux really a big deal?
What's the big deal with Microsoft Edge coming to Linux? Don't we have plenty of web browsers available for Linux already? I think it has to do with the 'Microsoft Linux rivalry' (if there is such a thing). If Microsoft does anything for Linux, specially desktop Linux, it becomes a news.
I also think that Edge on Linux has mutual benefits for Microsoft and for Linux users. Here's why.
What's in it for Microsoft?
When Google launched its Chrome browser in 2008, no one had thought that it will dominate the market in just a few years. But why would a search engine put so much of energy behind a 'free web browser'?
The answer is that Google is a search engine and it wants more people using its search engine and other services so that it can earn revenue from the ad services. With Chrome, Google is the default search engine. On other browsers like Firefox and Safari, Google pays hundreds of millions to be kept as the default web browser. Without Chrome, Google would have to rely entirely on the other browsers.
Microsoft too has a search engine named Bing. The Internet Explorer and Edge use Bing as the default search engine. If Edge is used by more users, it improves the chances of bringing more users to Bing. More Bing users is something Microsoft would love to have.
What's in it for Linux users?
I see a couple of benefits for desktop Linux users. With Edge, you can use some Microsoft specific products on Linux. For example, Microsoft's streaming gaming service xCloud maybe available on the Edge browser only.
Another benefit is an improved Netflix experience on Linux. Of course, you can use Chrome or Firefox for watching Netflix on Linux but you might not be getting the full HD or ultra HD streaming.
As far as I know, the Full HD and Ultra HD Netflix streaming is only available on Microsoft Edge. This means you can 'Netflix and chill' in HD with Edge on Linux.
What do you think?
What's your feeling about Microsoft Edge coming to Linux? Will you be using it when it is available for Linux? Do share your views in the comment section below.

One of the disadvantages of having a true bluewater boat is that the ports are smaller and higher up, limiting your vision while sitting on the settees. This evening we were hanging out in the salon with the ports open when we heard the distinctive chain rattle of a boat dropping his anchor at what sounded awfully close. "That sounds pretty close," I said and Tim agreed while hurrying up the companionway to find that indeed the boat was very close. Tim proceeded to make a few loud comments to the skipper about how maybe he was too close and it turns out that the skipper had no engine because he had run over someone's rode and had it wrapped around his prop. Having no steerage and having the wind climbing well into the high teens again, he was dropping his anchor in an attempt to stop the drift which, of course, caused it to head directly toward our boat as it swung. We grabbed the fenders we keep on deck just for that purpose, but this was a Hunter 45 and it was too fast and too heavy so Kintala has a new scratch down the port side that will need to be buffed out. Meanwhile, the Hunter continued down the lane and became hopelessly tangled up in the boat whose anchor he had snagged, leaving that boat with no option but letting the anchor go and moving to a new spot with their spare anchor, hoping to retrieve theirs in the morning. He is now to our stern and is crosswise to everyone else in the harbor because he has the other boat's anchor holding his stern into the wind, and his own anchor holding his bow downwind. He also happens to be pointed directly at our new friends in their Mainship trawler. This is a beautiful harbor, but it's very small and very tight. It's going to be a long night waiting for the next ball down the alley.

Discover the Benefits of Solving Puzzles
Playing and solving puzzles on a regular basis has many benefits. There are so many positives about playing these games. They boost our general knowledge, increase our vocabulary and improve our logic skills.
Crosswords and codewords are great for improving your vocabulary and spelling
Whether you are learning a new language or trying to improve your own, crosswords and codewords are a great source of new words. The clues tell you much about how the word is to be used, too. One of the huge advantages of solving crosswords and codewords, it forces you to get the spelling right. If it isn't correct , you have to think about it until it is, because the word won't fit into the squares or won't let the connecting words make sense, and you can't successfully complete the puzzle.
Playing puzzles helps your problem solving skills
There are many problems that we are just unable to solve, however, a puzzle does not have to be one of them. It is a great feeling when you realise you have cracked the first word in a codeword, filled all the squares of a crossword, or all the numbers of the Sudoku have fallen into place. As fomer US President Abraham Lincoln once said, "Nothing valuable can be lost by taking time…", and perseverance is often the key to puzzling success.
Help kids learn with a games-based approach
Puzzles definitely have a place in the classroom. I remember years ago attended a teachers' conference. At one of the sessions, the facilitator (who was a teacher at an all-boys school), said "Boys love quizzes…" Think of it as reverse psychology. If you say to your English class of Year 9 boys that "Today we are going to complete an exercise, turn to page 23 in your textbook…" expect to get a certain response, which I can pretty much guarantee will be a general lack of enthusiasm. However, if you say "Today we are going to play a vocabulary game on our iPads, they will see things in a completely different light. Once you introduce them to codewords, they will (potentially) be hooked, and you will have the satisfaction of knowing they are learning something. They may even want to continue their puzzling pursuits after class!
Change your thinking for different types of puzzles
There is a huge variety of puzzles, and they each require you to think differently. A standard crossword makes you think of a word, based on its definition, and how it is spelt. Sudoku require you to use your logical thinking skills to place the numbers correctly in the puzzle grid. General knowledge crosswords use trivia quiz-style clues which will either require you to mentally search your existing generally knowledge to try and recall the answer, or failing that, to think laterally about the potential sources where you might find it, and then go and track it down. The difference between a general knowledge crossword and a trivia quiz, the squares you have filled in give you more clues along the way
Puzzling improves work performance
A brain that is active and stimulated by puzzles is a brain that will function well at work. The better your brain works in one area the more likely it is to spill over into different areas of your life. Your thinking will be more clear and much faster than it was.
Puzzles for good brain health
Focusing your attention on a puzzle can help you to keep anxiety at bay or at least to take the edge off it. Concentrating on fact and data will help keep your emotional side under control. Doing puzzles on a regular basis is known to have an effect on warding off Alzheimer's and dementia. An active brain is much healthier and less likely to be affected by the disease. Play your favourite puzzles and keep the threat at bay. You can choose to play them on your own, or you may wish to solve them with a group of friends or form a club.
Solving puzzles give you a feeling of satisfaction
Doesn't it feel fantastic when you complete a puzzle or trivia quiz? It gives me a good feeling for the whole day. I am ready to challenge myself again in the next one. Puzzlers who can see that they are getting better with each attempt will be more likely to keep at it until they complete the whole puzzle.
Puzzles are portable
Puzzles are extremely portable, especially in the digital age, in which we now live. All you need to do is pack your iPad or laptop and you have a wealth of puzzles to solve at your fingertips, wherever you are.
Puzzles are just pure fun!
What else do we need to say? There are so many benefits that puzzling provides to people of all ages. However, you don't have look far for a good reason to solve a puzzle. The main reason we do them is that they are just a lot of fun!

Rear panel of the device are made of glass, in addition, on the rear panel is a fingerprint scanner, an LED flash and dual camera.
The front panel has a cutout in the display and a small chin at the bottom. Of course, when it comes to budget devices, Vivo and OPPO, there is the presence of chin justified the price. In the case of OnePlus 6 want to see a more slim bottom frame, by analogy with the iPhone X. However, thank you for this.
All will be available in 3 colors: matte black, glossy black and white. Each color is very interesting. In particular we can note the glossy black, which creates an even more premium device. In addition, at night the back panel is made not of metal but of glass, which has passed special processing.

Orlando Pirates head coach Milutin 'Micho' Sredojevic has urged his charges to remain grounded following their latest win in the Premier Soccer League (PSL).
The Buccaneers secured a hard-fought 2-1 victory over relegation-threatened Free State Stars in an encounter which was played at the Orlando Stadium on Saturday night.
The victory saw Bucs extend their lead at the top of the league standings and Micho stated that they will treat their remaining games like cup finals.
"I told them we need to open the three doors of hell. It was not easy playing against Bidvest Wits, winning, against Black Leopards winning and today winning (against Stars)," Sredojevic told SuperSport TV.
Pirates are now six points clear of second-placed Mamelodi Sundowns, who have three games in hand.
"I need to give credit to the players we have opened. Now we're seeing on the horizon the doors of heaven," the 49-year-old tactician continued.
Sundowns, who are the defending champions, were in action in the Caf Champions League against Al Ahly on Saturday in Egypt.
Sredojevic stressed the importance of their final three league games which are against Maritzburg United, Cape Town City and Polokwane City.
"But our feet are still on the ground and we respect all the opponents we will play against, Maritzburg United (are) fighting relegation, Cape Town City and the last match against Polokwane City here (at the Orlando Stadium)," he added.
Pirates will clinch their maiden PSL title since 2012 if they win their last three games and Sundowns drop points in their final six matches.
"The mathematics is simple; ours is to take every match as it comes and take every match as a cup final," the former Al Hilal Omdurman coach concluded.
Bucs' next game is against Maritzburg at the Harry Gwala Stadium on Saturday, April 24, while Sundowns are scheduled to face SuperSport United at the Loftus Versfeld Stadium on Wednesday, April 17.

Reading quotes is in decline, it is a fact. This is really worrying because it means that future leaders are also declining since the skills or knowledge that reading gives you are necessary to strengthen a personality of a relevant person.
The minimal badges make designs much cleaner and more recognizable. The key to designing a minimal logo is the strategic use of white space.
Some important features that you should take note are: the functionality of the logo and how it interacts with your audience; the inclusion of minimal colors and one or two fonts. we have put together an exhaustive list of quotes about creative design that includes more than 20 best design quotes for the inspiration.
What You Have to Know?
What is the design? what is it for? and what is relation of quotes and creative design? Surely more than once you have asked yourself these questions. Learn from the teachers and let yourself be inspired.
Design as a discipline has encouraged interesting theoretical reflections, from which we always have the rescued quotes. Who doesn't like a good date? Quotes inspire, educate, motivate, synthesize and reaffirm opinions. We have rescued 10, which we hope will make you think, debate and, more importantly, be a better designer.
To observe is, without a doubt, the most important of the techniques to be inspired by graphic design , as well as art in general. Creativity is found everywhere, and observing our surroundings we can acquire ideas of small details. It is important to constantly observe, but not wanting to force, find ideas for new projects .
Advertising posters, posters and papers attached to the walls can be a great inspiration. What design techniques have other designers employed? What techniques would you have used in your case? What are the aspects that stand out the most? Which could be improved?
Best Quotes About Creative Designs
Another technique to be inspired by graphic design is to collect. Postcards, pamphlets, magazine pages, advertising brochures … All of them contain colors, images, drawings, typographies and many ideas. Maybe at first they don't inspire you much creativity, but checking them from time to time, at different times, can help you acquire ideas that at first might not have occurred to you .
Here we are listing some of the most popular quotes about creative designs.
- "You can't use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have." — Maya Angelou, author, poet, civil rights activist
- "Design adds value faster than it adds costs." — Joel Spolsky, web programmer, writer, and creator of Trello
- "The public is more familiar with bad design than good design. It is, in effect, conditioned to prefer bad design, because that is what
- it lives with. The new becomes threatening, the old reassuring." — Paul Rand, graphic designer
- "Designers are meant to be loved, not to be understood." — Margaret Oscar, designer
- "Make it simple, but significant." — Don Draper, fictional character on Mad Men
- "Don't bunt. Aim out of the ballpark. Aim for the company of immortals." — David Ogilvy, advertising tycoon, known as the "Father of Advertising"
- "Every great design begins with an even better story." — Lorinda Mamo, designer
- "Design creates culture. Culture shapes values. Values determine the future." — Robert L. Peters, designer and author
- "The function of design is letting design function." — Micha Commeren, designer
- "Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works." — Steve Jobs, co-founder of Apple, Inc.
- "The more I deal with the work as something that is my own, as something that is personal, the more successful it is." — Marian Bantjes, designer and author
- "Design is not a single object or dimension. Design is messy and complex." — Natasha Jen, designer and educator
Clippings and assemblies from images found in magazines are also a very effective technique to be inspired by graphic design. They will help you discover new ideas, new color combinations and innovative combinations of concepts .
Getting Inspiration
Drawing constantly is also essential. It is not necessary to be an expert in drawing to be a professional graphic designer, but it is, without a doubt, a very effective technique to be inspired by graphic design. You can try different drawing techniques and invent new fonts . Saving all the drawings , even if the result is not professional, can also be of great inspiration in the future.
On the other hand, it is also highly recommended to take a notebook everywhere and write any ideas you can think of. You can also use it to make sketches and drawings. In this way you can motivate yourself to learn more about the creative designs.
