Birmingham City: Paul Robinson says loan players 'let down' team
Last updated on .From the section Birmingham
Birmingham captain Paul Robinson says the Championship strugglers' current group of loanees have let them down.
Loanee forwards Federico Macheda and Jordan Ibe, midfielders Albert Rusnak and Emyr Huws, and defenders Tom Thorpe and Tyler Blackett have joined in 2014.
Robinson said: "The first batch of loan players were different class, buying into the gaffer's ethos and the team and what we expected from each other.
"For me, the second lot [2014 signings] have let us down a little bit."
Defender Robinson added: "You don't want anyone out there now not giving 100%. The players that go out there have got to wear that shirt with pride."
The City skipper is currently serving a three-match suspension after receiving 15 yellow cards this season.
The Blues lie 21st in the Championship, above the relegation zone on goal difference.
Since the end of the January transfer window, 12 of Birmingham's 21 league goals have been scored by loan players, including nine for striker Macheda, now the club's top league goalscorer this season.
"The big clubs send these players out for a reason and that's to get first-team football," 35-year-old Robinson continued.
"For me, they've let the gaffer down, they've let us players down, some of them, and they'll just go back to their clubs and get on with it.
"That hurts the most because we're football players and we're brought up to love the game. Do these young kids love the game as much? I don't think so."
Manchester United forward Jesse Lingard scored six goals in 13 appearances for the Blues while on loan earlier this season.
Defensive pairing Dan Burn and Kyle Bartley also impressed as Birmingham enjoyed a 10-match unbeaten run before Burn was recalled by Fulham and Bartley similarly returned to parent club Swansea.
Manager Lee Clark added: "Every loan player that's come here has the ability. That's not the point in what we're saying.
"All the first batch bought into Birmingham City. In the second batch we've had some who have done that as well but there have been others."

Planning & Forecasting in the Age of AI
In the age of AI and algorithms, older modeling techniques fail to incorporate the wide variety of data sources needed to produce precise results.Learn More
Supply chain optimization impacts every industry, from retail to manufacturing, transportation to warehousing. Machine learning and AI bring additional opportunities to tighten supply chain logistics using new sources of data and new techniques that can radically improve operations, most notably at the hyper-local level.
In January 2018, Business Insider found that 42% of organizations surveyed identified supply chain and operations as driving revenue from AI capabilities today.
Optimization of Scheduling, Production, & Display Planning: The adoption of data science and machine lerning techniques allows companies to optimize logistics and determine factors that affect performance, thus increasing productivity. It helps especially built-to-order producers, as AI helps harmonize constraints automatically.
By using embedded technology as part of the Internet of Things, (IoT) companies are better able to understand their customers. The more connected devices that can track and analyze customer movement throughout a facility, the easier it is to understand customer needs and optimize for maximum impact.
Demand Forecasting: Data science and machine learning techniques make it possible to track all the factors that can influence accuracy in demand forecasting at a scale that wouldn't be possible for analysis by humans. Information such as weather or real-time sales can improve warehouse management and self-management of inventory systems.
Effective Selection of Suppliers: In an ideal world, AI systems would analyze big data sets and automatically sort out suppliers according to their delivery performance (e.g., on-time, in-full), their credit scoring, and internal evaluations that then enable people to make better decisions when selecting reliable suppliers, thus improving their customer service.
Automation: When it comes to machine learning and AI in the supply chain, a key step to optimization is automation – removing steps from the process that humans previously had to do manually. This frees up human energy to perform more strategic tasks and develop further system improvements.
Chatbots: Increasingly, companies are turning to AI to deal with frontline supplier issues. Companies are able to reduce the time spent engaging with suppliers, as chatbots can tackle a large portion of common issues and transactions.
The potential gains of AI-powered systems in supply chain operations are huge; currently, data is siloed and hard to leverage. While AI isn't magic and there are challenges to overcome, there are a few key steps that are critical when starting the journey towards Enterprise AI within the supply chain:
Dataiku is the platform democratizing access to data and enabling enterprises to build their own path to AI. Hundreds of companies use Dataiku daily to build, deploy, and monitor predictive data flows.
Specifically, Dataiku can help organizations introduce AI-driven processes into the supply chain by:

Picture from the Ventura County Fire Department's Twitter feed . It was taken inside of a responding truck. Notice the specks of embers visible from the window.
I went back to California to visit my children for the holidays. It was nice to be back but El Nino conditions created cold wet weather during most of my stay. One day during my visit, there were some warm, strong Santa Ana winds. It reminded me of wildfire seasons in the past. Perusing the, I discovered that there was a wildfire burning in Solimar Beach in Ventura County, not very far away from where my daughter lives. This wildfire consumed more than 1,388 acres and forced evacuations of a local campground, with more than 600 firefighters responding to the blaze, according to a Channel 4 news report on December 26, 2015. The fire literally burned all the way to the ocean.
That day, I had also visited a community in Topanga Canyon, close to the Santa Monica National Forest. The terrain was rugged and the winds were gusty as I slowly drove the two lane road up to the community. There had been a deadly fire in the 1960s called the Belair-Brentwood Fire that destroyed many homes and cost people their lives. The current residents were aware of their risks and ad begun working with the California Fire Safe Council using grant funding to work together to lessen their risks as identified in their Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP). They were also interested in working together to create Firewise neighborhoods. Each neighborhood that I visited had a different flavor and different critical needs as well as similar ones that needed to be worked on by homeowners and agencies to reduce wildfire risks to life and property.
You can work together with your neighbors to build a Firewise neighborhood that is more resilient in the event of a wildfire disaster. There are currently 101 active Firewise recognized communities in California, all working towards a common goal of wildfire safety with the California Fire Safe Council acting as the Firewise state liaison and Anne Pandey serving currently as their representative. Learn more by visiting the California Fire Safe Council website or the Firewise website . </p>

Sensor Marketing Expert Organizes and will Chair All-Day June 26 Preconference Session
Naples, FL –December 9, 2017--- Roger Grace, President of Roger Grace Associates, the leading marketing consultancy specializing in Sensors and MEMS has announced the call for abstracts for the all-day June 26, 2018 Sensors Expo pre-conference workshop. The extended abstract dealine is January 17,2018 The session will address Printed/Flexible Stretchable (P/F/S) and Functional Fabric (FF) Sensors from a commercialization perspective to support Internet of Things (IoT) and wearable applications. Mr. Grace will be joined by other world recognized leaders in the P/F/S and FF sensors and electronics area representing organizations from the US, Europe and Asia who will present information on current research and development activities and application opportunities for P/S/T and FF sensors and P/S/T and FF Sensor-based systems issues. The exhibition and technical conference will take place at the McEnery San Jose California Convention Center from June 26-28, 2018.
Mr. Grace stated, "This all-day session is a key and integral part of my "evangelization" of P/F/S and FF sensors. It was developed to help inform and educate the technical, technical management, and business community of the major significance of P/S/T and FF sensor-based technologies and their enabled far- reaching opportunities in IoT and wearable applications from both a current and future perspective. Attendees will be provided with presentations from representatives of leading international organizations representing the entire ecosystem of P/S/T and FF sensors and associated electronics , from research and development to manufacturing, who are in the forefront of bringing new and unique P/S/T and FF technologies to the market. We are expecting that several speakers from leading international research and development organizations and universities will address their efforts on device development and integration issues and future application opportunities. Presentations will address the current and future opportunities for P/F/S and FF sensors and the necessary requirements for them to become commercially viable. Also, to be addressed will be other functional elements of these IoT and wearable systems e.g. batteries, memory/logic as well as packaging and interconnects. Barriers to the successful commercialization and strategies resulting in monetization of P/S/T and FF sensors strategies from perspectives including integration, infrastructure and manufacturing will be addressed. The session will also address the requisite infrastructure of materials, manufacturing and test systems. We expect the attendee to emerge from the session with a good knowledge of where we have come from, where we are, where we're going, and what they need to do to help create a more commercially viable P/S/T and FF sensor industry as well as where they can participate in exploiting current and future major application opportunities for P/S/T sensors." He concluded, "This Sensors Expo 2018 precon session has, to the best of my knowledge, the most highly concentrated and expansive effort to date to exclusively address the topic of P/F/S and FF sensors".
Mr. Cal Groton, Director of Questex, the organizer of the event said, "We decided early on in the creation of the pre-conference program to address IoT and wearables because of its current and future importance in the sensors space. Our decision to bring Roger Grace aboard to develop and chair an all-day pre-conference session was an easy one for us based on Roger's well- deserved reputation in the industry as the a sensors marketing consultant "guru "in addition to his long and successful track record of developing over 25 successful technical conference sessions, many here at Sensors Expo. We are truly gratified that Roger's selection of speakers for his all-day session on printed/flexible/stretchable sensors demonstrates the intent of our exciting conference…that being informing and educating the engineering community as to the power and capability of sensor technology to solve application opportunities. We are looking forward to very successful technical sessions, technical exhibit and especially Roger's star-studded array of speakers in our pre-conference program".
The availability of sensors that can take the shape and work reliably in their imposed complex and demanding working environment has existed for quite some time. Interlink Electronics and Tekscan introduced their flexible sensor product lines in the mid-80's. With the recent popularity of the Internet of Things (IoT), "wearables" (including clothing) and more importantly….disposables…create the need for low-cost single or multiple sensors per system that are small, lightweight and low- power consuming that also can conform to the shape of and survive the environment in which they must operate and are becoming essential. This is especially relevant in the creation of measurement systems which typically rely upon several sensors and their accompanying microcontroller/embedded sensor fusion algorithms that make them "smart" and enable them to address a myriad of IoT applications including environmental/pollution monitoring including air, water, soil and food; fitness; health /ehealth monitoring; agriculture and other applications supporting the "four pillars" of Abundance …the solution….printed/flexible/stretchable sensors and associated electronics and packaging. Recent estimates report the total market for printed/flexible sensors to be $8 billion of the $340 billion flexible electronics market by 2025. With expected unit average sales prices (ASPs) of approximately $0.01 by 2025, this translates into an annual 800-billion-unit volume market…and certainly qualifies as a significant constituent of the trillion sensors initiative.
The US DOD has recently awarded major contracts to organizations to move these two important technologies forward. Headed by MIT, the Advanced Functional Fabrics of America (AFFOA) Program received $75 million in funding matched with $242 from many participating organizations in late April, 2016. In August 2015, the FlexTech Alliance received $75 million from DOD with matching grants of $96 million from organizations to create and manage a flexible hybrid electronics facility in San Jose California.

Women's soccer snaps losing skid in 1-0 win over CofC
October 19, 2017
UNC Wilmington women's soccer picked up its second CAA win of the season Thursday night with a 1-0 over rival College of Charleston.
The Seahawks (6-10-2, 2-5-1 CAA) jumped out to an early 1-0 lead in the third minute thanks to Baley Edwards' third goal of the season. Edwards converted off a rebound from a shot by Serenity Waters.
"It was a corner kick that was redirected by Ren Waters," said Edwards of her goal. "It was a perfect ball into the box and I just slotted it in. It was a perfect service."
The rest of the game went back-and-forth with both teams getting several chances to score. Charleston (8-7-1, 3-4-1) pushed hard at the end but was unable to net the equalizer thanks to some stellar defense from UNCW.
Both teams ended the game with 13 shots apiece. Genevieve Henderson had four saves for the Cougars while Sydney Schneider came up big for the Seahawks with eight saves.
"I thought defensively Baley, Tara (Pak), and Lauren (Ellis) did an absolutely bang-up job along with Sydney to keep Charleston away," said UNCW coach Paul Cairney. "Charleston has scored a lot of goals in the league and to keep them off the scoreboard makes me really proud of our team."
The Seahawks, who had lost three consecutive games by one goal coming into Thursday, were finally able to win a one-goal game.
"We've outshot the other team in almost every game," said Edwards. "I think it finally went our way, which was great for us because we really need the points."
The Seahawks will look to get another CAA win this Sunday when they host Northeastern at UNCW Soccer Stadium.
"We'll take the points, dust ourselves off, do the exact same things we've been doing, recover tomorrow, prepare for Northeastern, and see what happens Sunday," said Cairney.

Apr 26, 2009 - Surfari (Rote, Indonesia)
Stayed the past few days at a camp run by Greg Rogers, Tripp's brother. We had no waves the whole time I was there so didn't get to learn. The resort is Nembrella Beach Resort. Saw a "green flash" sunset for first time ever. This is a phenomena that only happens when sun sets over water on a perfectly clear day. The water takes away colors in the spectrum in reverse order from the air in the atmospher so that ROYGBIV (red, orange, yellow, GREEN, blue, indigo, and violet) dissapears on each end one by water one by air and notice GREEN is in...Jump to full entry

April 16th Kelimutu It is 700kms of winding, rough and steep roads to the other end of the island and the the ferry which might be leaving in 2 days.

Hi Mates,
Recently restored a Rajdoot bike, thread is here, http://www.xbhp.com/talkies/pit-stop...-enclosed.html
The RC expired on 2004. So did the insurance.
- What should I do to renew the RC?
- How to get FC?
- Insurance too - I think I have a little idea on this
- How much would it all cost? Legally.
- Should I register the bike again - Meaning, will the registration number change?
Much Thanks!!

NJ dealer who gave pastor car denounces Quran burn
A New Jersey car dealer who offered a free car to a Florida pastor if he promised not to burn the Quran says he never thought the pastor would do it.
The Rev. Terry Jones claims to have burned the Muslim holy book last month at his church.
A crowd angered by news of Jones' actions stormed a U.N. compound in northern Afghanistan on Friday. Seven foreigners and four protesters were killed.
Jones visited New Jersey in October to collect a new Hyundai Accent but immediately turned it over to a charity that helps battered women.
Ex-New York Giants tackle Brad Benson offered Jones the car in one of his quirky commercials.
Benson calls the Quran burning "deplorable" and says Jones should be held criminally liable for the deaths.

This is a brilliant Saturday Night Live parody of the Amazon Echo, seniors, speech recognition and more. I'm a senior and it made me laugh.
Abbott and Costello: Who's on First
This is William "Bud" Abbott and Lou Costello doing their famous "Who's on First" routine in 1953. Note that this routine was never done line for line exactly the same way which means some of it was improvised. Brilliant. It was done on radio, on stage, and on the newly invented television variety shows.
Abbott and Costello were an American comedy duo who were active in the 1940's and early 1950's.
I both heard and saw this routine numerous times growing up, it's one of the most famous comedy sketches of all time.
I found the video embed on The Kid Should See This this morning and their post is worth reading: Who's on First – Abbott & Costello (1953) as is the Wikipedia post linked to in my first paragraph above which gives some background on the routine.
John Oliver on Fresh Air
John Oliver Is No One's Friend On His New HBO Show
Terry Gross interviews John Oliver on Fresh Air. Brilliant show. Brilliant interview.
Senor Wences on The Ed Sullivan Show
My god, I remember this and it seems just as exceptional and funny now as it did then.
Wenceslao Moreno was Señor Wences, an exceptional Spanish ventriloquist who many of us saw regularly on the Ed Sullivan show. He died in 1999 at age 103.

At Biohazard Trauma & Crime Scene Cleaning we also specialise in the clean up, sanitisation and sterilization or sewage leaks and spills. Sewage spills can devastate a property by flooding the interior with grey water or raw sewage. These clean ups are required when pipes in the ground and even apartment complexes become blocked or cracked, the resulting waste seaps its way through walls, floors and ceilings leaving a property in most cases uninhabitable.
Many sewage cleanups require the removal of walls, flooring and furniture contaminated by the effluent overflow. Our cleaning technicians are trained in the removal of sewage, both sink (grey water) and raw sewage (black water).
Step 1 is to establish the cause of the leak, overflow or blockage before a clean up can be commenced. Once the cause of the sewage leak has been found, it needs to be stopped. This will involve either your local council if underground sewer pipes are the cause or a local plumbing contractor if above ground.
Step 2 is to establish the damage and extent of the sewage, how far has it gone, what is contaminated and is there any immediate danger to residents or occupants. The gases released from sewage can be toxic and harmful to your health and it is recommended that all properties be vacated immediately upon discovery of a sewage leak, spill or flooding.
In most cases, your insurance will cover the clean up caused by busted pipes and sewage damage. The remediation work can take several weeks depending on the extent of damage and location of the sewage spill as well as the duration of the sewage leak. In some cases the sewage leak is slow and occurs over time from a cracked pipe of partially blocked pipe. You will recognise this first by a distinct smelly odour creeping up on you like a bad fart you can't get rid of.
Step 3 is the Sewage clean up. This will include, the removal of flooring such as carpet, tiles and sometimes grinding back of concrete substraight. Once the area has been stripped back to its frame, the sterilization process can begin, swab tests are used to establish if areas are high or low in microbial matter, if the swab reading is not within safe levels, a second sterilization will be required.
Step 4: Cleaning of the air using scrubbers or Ozone generators to remove the bad odour and kill any remaining microbial matter. Note Ozone generators are toxic and will kill pets including fish and reptiles.

Book: Sweet Valley Confidential - Ten Years Later
Author: Francine Pascal
Grade: D+
Recommended To: Sweet Valley High Fans will think they had terrible taste as a pre-teen reader.
Okay, I don't have a problem admitting that I read almost every single Sweet Valley High and Sweet Valley Middle School book that Francine Pascal thought up. I even read the weird Christmas special ones where Elizabeth ran away from home and met the ghosts of past, present and future. I loved these books - and when I found out that Pascal was writing a catch up book "Ten Years Later," I immediately put it on my birthday list.
Thank God I didn't pay for it myself. (Sorry, Mom!) I'm not sure if I just didn't have any discretionary taste as a 13 year old or if the books had a much higher writing quality. Somehow, I think it is the former.
The writing in this book - blew. That's to put it simply and accurately. The sentences were often weird, misshapen blocks of words that I had to read more than once to even figure out what was going on or who was speaking. Okay, I consider myself a prolific reader and fairly smart, so if I can't even figure out what is going on after reading a passage twice - then I want to use the book as firewood.
The storyline was also incredibly disappointing. There are going to be SPOILERS so stop reading now if you don't want to know what happens. Or just skip the bullets - whatever.
- Jessica has stolen Todd from Elizabeth after only sleeping with him once in a drunken one-night stand. That one night stand fueled 5 years of tension and love between them, even though they never slept together again and Jessica got married a few times. They are engaged.
- Elizabeth has fled in a fit of rage to New York where she lives in a shitty apartment and eats take out.
- Elizabeth is FULL OF RAGE, people. She does things like throw her purse on a chair to get relief.
- Jessica is a townie who has stayed in SV to be with her friends (who mostly think she's a big ole slut) and her PR job where she throws parties for pay.
- Elizabeth is obviously a writer, but it is for a crappy "throwaway" magazine that does play reviews.
- Oh, and the brother? He's married but having a affair with a gay dude that I don't remember AT ALL from the books. But, don't worry, at the end when Francine wraps it all up she wishes "that the Wakefields will soon have three son's in law because of a change in the gay marriage laws in California." Oh boy.
The worst part is that the characters haven't actually matured a bit. They all act like they are still in high school. The parts narrated by Jessica have a bunch of extraneous "likes" and "Sos" thrown in just to keep up that valley girl appearance. Francine, you can't possibly expect me to believe that she has gotten ANYWHERE in life or at her job talking like that. No, its like so not possible. I don't care if she works in makeup.
Elizabeth, always the more mature sister - hasn't changed - she is still ridiculously, annoyingly perfect, except now she is also angry. Oh, and she sleeps around too. It is as if Francine just added some swear words, let the twins have sex, and live on their own and then boom! magically they are adults. No. That's not how life works. They still act, speak, and think like teenagers. Also, there's no way that Elizabeth could pay Midtown Manhattan rent with a job at a blog - AND eat take out? I don't think so.
I am so deeply disappointed. I might write some fan fiction and send it to Francine just to show her where she went oh so very wrong in writing this monstrosity. This book felt like my childhood had been ripped to shreds - thank God no one has ever done this to the Boxcar Children.
I hope you enjoyed this post - I would love to hear what you think of SVC - Ten Years Later. Here's what the good people at Goodreads thought.
Happy Reading!!

Alexander Not Rushing to the Rescue
Just when the Seattle Seahawks didn't think it could get any worse, it did.
One day after getting run over by the Kansas City Chiefs, the Seahawks found out that the help they expected will not be on the way. Monday tests on Shaun Alexander's broken left foot showed that the Pro Bowl running back is still another week away from returning.
Instead of playing Monday night against the Oakland Raiders, Alexander is now targeted to return for the Nov. 12 game against St. Louis.
"The medical people are reluctant to give me the green light on Shaun," coach Mike Holmgren said at his Monday press conference. "He is getting better, he's feeling better, and his crack (on his fourth metatarsal bone) has healed a bunch. But they were not ready to hand him over to me this week. It appears that it will be at least another week."
Alexander has already missed four games with the broken bone, but he was cleared to start running last week. Holmgren initially said he'd be back practicing this week.
"I'm a little disappointed he can't play (against the Raiders), but we've been playing without him so it's not that big of a shock," Holmgren said.
In Alexander's absence, the running game has become non-existent. Fill-in Maurice Morris is averaging 45.8 yards per game as the starter, and just 2.9 yards per carry on the season.
Holmgren is unwilling to place the blame solely on Morris's shoulders, saying that the run blocking has also been subpar.
"We're not running the ball the way that we're used to," Holmgren said. "It just is a problem right now that we have to try and fix.
"You can't be one-dimensional in this league, and right now we can't run worth a darn. We're working really hard on that phase of our football this week."
Holmgren admitted that the lackluster ground game has affected his play-calling.
"The strength of our football team is our receivers," he said Monday. "I want to strive for balance, but at the same time I have to make sure I move the football — somehow and some way. So to do that, we have to become more effective in our rushing.
"We've got to work hard at that. We have to make it happen. We have to almost will it to happen right now."
The Seahawks are 3-0 in Alexander's three starts and 1-3 since he got hurt.

Arvind Subramanian of PIIE keeps churning insightful pieces on Indian economy.
This one on trade (pretty dated as it appeared in BS on 10-Jan-14) looks at whether India trades more or less.
He says there is a paradox. India has much higher barriers to trade than is visible in services. But at the same time trades much more given its size compared to its peers. So as Joan Robinson says (which Dr Subramanian quotes very often) ..everything and its opposite is true in India…:-)
A point which he does not cover but strikes this blog is this — Is our services sector so buoyant as we have such high trade barriers on the same? Is it just artificially competitive?

The Gem-A Gem Empathy Award, in association with IJL, is presented for the best use of a precious coral cabochon.
IJL and Gem-A are delighted to announce that IJL visitor and BCU School of Jewellery student designer Bingjie Zhao has won the annual Gem Empathy Award for her Trawling ring design.
Zhao studied for a BA in Jewellery and Objects at BCU School of Jewellery and successfully completed the Gem-A Gemmology Foundation course. She will now continue her studies on the School of Jewellery's Design for Industry course to further her skills.
The long-standing Gem Empathy Award – organised by Gem-A (the Gemmological Association of Great Britain) and hosted by IJL – gives exhibitors and, for the first time in 2019, visitors to International Jewellery London (IJL) the chance to win a specially-selected gemstone.
This year, the Gem Empathy Award was given to the best bespoke jewellery design created for a 12.9 carat precious coral cabochon. Through the competition, Gem-A has sought to highlight the many misconceptions about the use of coral in contemporary jewellery design and explain the many sustainability procedures and laws in place for precious coral.
Alan Hart FGA, CEO, Gem-A: "This competition is all about encouraging IJL attendees to take new and creative approaches to using gemstones. We were incredibly impressed by the standard of this year's entries from across the complete spectrum of IJL visitors and exhibitors, including individuals with and without jewellery design experience. I would like to personally congratulate all the individuals who were shortlisted and our winner, Bingjie Zhao, who will now be able to bring her 'Trawling' ring to life using this year's Gem Empathy gemstone - a 12.9ct precious coral cabochon."
Through her 'Trawling' design, Zhao acknowledges the challenges that face common coral, especially pollution, climate change, trawling and overfishing, which lead to vast levels of coral bleaching, stock depletion and damage to sea life. Due to this, it is even more vital to advocate for the sustainable sourcing of precious corals, like this cabochon, which live in a different ecosystem to endangered coral reefs.
Bingjie Zhao, Gem Empathy Winner 2019, said about her winning design:
"I chose the shape of fish nets and the texture of ropes as elements that represent trawling. I want to raise awareness of trawling problems through this piece of jewellery as well as reference the sustainable source of this precious coral."
Zhao's winning design was chosen from a shortlist of finalists, including Wan-Yi Lin, Eli Zhang, Cathie Osborne and Ioannis Chatzipanagiotou. Her concept design includes the coral cabochon set in 18ct yellow gold with 20 small stones and a single pearl cabochon.
This year's Gem Empathy Award judges were Ruth Faulkner, Editor, Retail Jeweller; Liza Urla, Jewellery Advisor & Founder, Gemologue; Alan Hart FGA, CEO, Gem-A.
Zhao was announced at this year's Gem Empathy Award winner at IJL 2019 on Sunday 1 September on the Gem-A stand. As the winner, she will now receive the coral cabochon and a contribution to bring her piece to life. She will also feature in a future edition of Gem-A's Gems&Jewellery magazine.

It is impossible to have a day that better displayed Kathryn and Sam's love than their Admiral's House wedding. It was a perfect showing of the beauty of the Northwest fall, an intimate day with all of their closes friends, an elegant space and of course their dog Dash. It was truly exactly the celebration they hoped for.
How can you not love a pup with a dress? It's the best combo in the world.
Just about everyone was brought to tears by Kathryn's dad tearing up as he watched "Baby Kathryn" tie the knott.
It was truly the perfect evening.
Thanks again to Kathryn and Sam for letting me be a part of this incredible day. I want to make sure to give a huge thanks to the teams at The Admiral's House for the spectacular venue, Herban Feast for wonderful food, the incredible flowers by Grace & Blooms, paper goods by BONTOP Brand Styling and for Brandon Ghorley for keeping the party going all night long!

Ahead of its Big 10 anniversary sale, Flipkart announced its plan to reduce dependence on smartphone sales by focusing on private brands. The ecommerce biggie is in the middle of developing exclusive products across various product categories, which would go live before the 2017 edition of annual Big Billion sale.
Now we hear that Flipkart-owned Myntra is going to follow the same strategy. The only difference is that Myntra wants to get rid of discounts by placing more emphasis on private labels.
Myntra's CEO Ananth Narayanan believes that utilizing precious funds to enhance own-brands and technology makes more sense than pouring it down on discounts and promotional activities.
Reiterating the fact, Narayanan said,
"Instead of increasing spending only on marketing and discounts, we have decided to invest more in technology and brands. These will help us build moats and improve the bottom line."
The allure of private brands has captured many ecommerce companies' attention. Be it ecommerce giant Amazon or niche fashion etailer Koovs, all are investing heavily in developing their own line of products. And rightly so, because it allows etailers to earn fat margins, operate on their own terms, modify product offerings and maintain control over quality, quantity & delivery.
Offline retailers like Shoppers Stop too has started concentrating on their own brands as it helps to drive the online customer base to their shopping site.
In spite of the many benefits of own-labels, fashion etailer Myntra wants to strike the right balance between private and national brands. The company understands that established brands have a higher customer pull and diverse product portfolio is essential in today's competitive business environment.
"We want to cap the contribution of private labels to a third of our overall business. We want to keep our identity as a multi-brand retailer and not turn into a private label business", said Narayanan
As of now, the company's private brands such as HRX, Roadster, Anouk, and Dressberry account for 23-24% of revenue. By the end of this year, Myntra plans to increase contribution of these brands to 30%.
In order to reduce dependence on discounts, Myntra experimented with full-price sale. As customers equate sale with discounts, the etailer failed to touch its revenue target of Rs. 100 crore. But this hasn't dissuaded Myntra from hosting similar events in the future, albeit with few changes.
Narayanan disclosed,
"One of the things we learnt from the full-price sale was that you need to have a lot more high fashion and exclusive merchandise. That's what customers are looking for when you ask them to pay full-price. Another thing is, the sale should be longer. Because a full-price purchase won't be an impulse purchase, customers like to browse and delay the decision. They want to come back later and see if they feel like buying it."
Would no-discount sale events affect Myntra's customer satisfaction meter negatively? Or would the wide range of private and established brands keep the buyers happy?

Five of the top eight seeds made it through (Hannibal - Mizumono, Revenge - Execution and Breaking Bad - Ozymandias the seeds to miss out), though the top three seeds (The Mentalist - Blue Bird, The Mentalist - My Blue Heaven and Castle - Veritas) have all made it through to the last eight. If you want your episode to stand a chance, make sure that you continue to vote, to share the post: get everyone possible to vote. Your vote will matter. With that in mind, let's proceed...
The rules are as follows:
1. Two episodes go head to head for 24 hours. The episode that emerges as winner will go through to the next round.
2. Vote for your favourite episode, and tell us what you voted for.
3. Tell others about the competition.
4. Be respectful. This is a competition, but be friendly.
We have a massive face-off to begin with. In an all-The Mentalist affair, number one seed 'Blue Bird' faces number two seed 'My Blue Heaven'. Both episodes have been well supported, but one must go out today. Castle's 'Veritas' then goes up against fan favourite Beauty and the Beast, with its 'Catch Me If You Can'. How I Met Your Mother's 'How Your Mother Met Me' then faces Game of Thrones' Red Wedding episode, before we round off the quarter-finals with an all-CW affair: Arrow's second season finale takes on Beauty and the Beast's 'About Last Night'. Some mouth-watering ties today, and it should certainly be interesting to see how results unfold.

Gay Marriage Legislation
From lawbrain.com
Gay marriage legislation refers to the law pertaining to state and federal stance on the marriage between same-sex couples.
Over the past several years, many states have acted to change or clarify their laws to address gay marriage. Some state courts or legislatures have expressly allowed gay marriage; in others, legislatures or voters have acted to disallow gay marriage. The following is a state-by-state summary of current law.
States Permitting Same-Sex Marriages
Massachusetts: The first state in the Union to legalize same-sex marriage. In Goodridge v. Department of Public Health, the Supreme Judical Court left Massachusetts marriage law intact and gave the state government 180 days to take appropriate action. The governor ordered the town clerk to begin issuing marriage licenses on May 17, 2004.
California: Same-sex marriages laws were passed and allowed between June 16, 2008 and November 4, 2008, after the California's Supreme Court held that the statutes that limit marriage by couples of the same sex violated California's constitution; but the California electorate then approved Proposition 8, a voter initiative that reinstated the ban on same-sex marriage as part of the constitution. A federal case concerning Proposition 8, Perry v. Schwarzenegger, is currently being heard. The marriages that were performed during June 16, 2008 through November 4, 2008 are still recognized and legal.
Connecticut: On October 10, 2008, the Connecticut Supreme Court ruled that the Connecticut civil union statute that provided same-sex unions with the same rights and responsibilities as traditional opposite-sex marriages while still differentiating between marriage and civil union violated the equality and liberty provisions of the state's constitution. The state began issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples on November 12, 2008.
Nevada: On May 21, 2009, the Nevada state senate voted a bill into law that would allow same-sex and unmarried couples partnership rights similar to those granted by the state to married couples and they will recognize gay marriage. The Nevada state senate was able to get enough votes to override a veto by the state's Governor.
Iowa: On April 3, 2009, The Iowa Supreme Court issued a decision in Varnum v. Brien holding that an Iowa statute limiting marriage to a union between a man and a woman violated the equal protection clause of Iowa's constitution. The state began allowing same-sex marriages on April 24, 2009.
Vermont: On April 7, 2009, Vermont became the fourth state to legal same-sex marriage throughout the state and the state gathered enough votes to overide the state's Governor Jim Douglas' veto on gay marriage.. The Vermont Legislature legalized gay marriage by a vote of 100 to 49. Vermont legalized civil union only 9 years prior to legalizing same-sex marriage.
District of Columbia: The City Council passed a gay marriage bill 11 to 2 on December 1, 2009. The Archdiocese of Washington opposed the redefinition of marriage based on the church's core teachings. Mayor Adrian Fenty is expected to sign the bill.
States Prohibiting Same-Sex Marriages
Illinois: a marriage between 2 individuals of the same sex is prohibited by statute
Maine: On May 6, 2009, the Maine Governor John Baldacci signed a bill to legalize same-sex marriage less than an hour after the state legislature had given their approval. Voters in the state overturned the law on November 3, 2009, however.
Michigan: by statute, "Marriage is inherently a unique relationship between a man and a woman. As a matter of public policy, this state has a special interest in encouraging, supporting, and protecting that unique relationship in order to promote,
among other goals, the stability and welfare of society and its children. A marriage contracted between individuals of the same sex is invalid in this state."
The Constitution states: "To secure and preserve the benefits of marriage for our society and for future generations of children, the union of one man and one woman in marriage shall be the only agreement recognized as a marriage or similar union for any purpose."
New York: In the state of New York, same-sex marriages from other states and other countries are recognized, but there is no same sex marriage performed throughout the state and oppenents of same-sex marriage have prevented it from being legal in the State of new York.
Texas: The Texas Constitution states that "Marriage in this state shall consist only of the union of one man and one woman", and "This state or a political subdivision of this state may not create or recognize any legal status identical or simlar to marriage". State statute declares "A marriage between persons of the same sex or a civil union is contrary to the public policy of this state and is void in this state."
Utah: Statute decrees "Marriages prohibited and void: between persons of the same sex."
A Constitutional amendment, approved by the electorate on November 2, 2004: "Marriage consists only of the legal union between a man and a woman."
State Recognition of Same-Sex Marriage From Other States
The Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), passed by Congress in 1996 and codified at 1 U.S.C. § 7, expressly grants states the right to refuse to recognize a same-sex marriage performed in another state.
Many legal commentators have argued that DOMA violates the Full Faith and Credit Clause of the United States Constitution, as well as the Equal Protection Clause contained in the 14th Amendment to the US Constitution. Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley has sued the federal government, claiming that DOMA violates the states' right under the 10th Amendment to define and regulate marriage.
The United States Supreme Court has yet to rule on the constitutionality of DOMA, but the Obama administration has stated its opinion that DOMA is discriminatory and should be repealed.
Developments in State Legislation on Same-Sex Marriage
- Hawaii's House of Representatives passed a civil unions bill (House Bill 444) providing same-sex couples the same rights as heterosexual couples. The House of Representatives passed the bill by a 31-20 vote and Governor Linda Lingle has until early July to sign in.[1]
Federal Same-Sex Marriage Legislation
International Same-Sex Marriage Laws
The Supreme Court of Mexico ruled that all same-sex marriages occurring in Mexico City must be recognized nationwide. [2]

Visit The United States Virgin Islands
The United States Virgin Islands (USVI); also called the American Virgin Islands), officially the Virgin Islands of the United States, is a group of islands in the Caribbean and an unincorporated and organized territory of the United States. The islands are geographically part of the Virgin Islands archipelago and are located in the Leeward Islands of the Lesser Antilles.
The U.S. Virgin Islands consists of the main islands of Saint Croix, Saint John, and Saint Thomas, and many other surrounding minor islands. The total land area of the territory is 133.73 square miles (346.36 km2). The territory's capital is Charlotte Amalie on the island of St. Thomas.
Previously known as the Danish West Indies of the Kingdom of Denmark–Norway, they were sold to the United States by Denmark in the Treaty of the Danish West Indies of 1916. They are classified by the United Nations as a Non-Self-Governing Territory, and are currently an organized, unincorporated United States territory. The U.S. Virgin Islands are organized under the 1954 Revised Organic Act of the Virgin Islands and have since held five constitutional conventions. The last and only proposed Constitution, adopted by the Fifth Constitutional Convention of the U.S. Virgin Islands in 2009, was rejected by the U.S. Congress in 2010, which urged the convention to reconvene to address the concerns Congress and the Obama Administration had with the proposed document. The Fifth Constitutional Convention of the U.S. Virgin Islands met in October 2012 to address these concerns, but was not able to produce a revised Constitution before its October 31 deadline.
In 2010 the population was 106,405, and mostly Afro-Caribbean. Tourism and related categories are the primary economic activity, employing a high percentage of the civilian non-farm labor force that totaled 42,752 persons in 2016 (the total non-farm labor force was 48,278 persons). Private sector jobs made up 71 percent of the total workforce. The average private sector salary was $34,088 and the average public sector salary was $52,572.
In a May 2016 report, some 11,000 people were categorized as being involved in some aspect of agriculture in the first half of 2016 but this category makes up a small part of the total economy. (The islands have a significant rum manufacturing sector.) At that time, there were approximately 607 manufacturing jobs and 1,487 natural resource and construction jobs. The single largest employer was the government. In mid-February 2017, the USVI was facing a financial crisis due to a very high debt level of $2 billion and a structural budget deficit of $110 million. Then early August 2017, the U.S. Virgin Islands government was rejected from the bond market.
Tourism, trade, and other service-oriented industries are the primary economic activities, accounting for nearly 60% of the GDP. Approximately 2.5 million tourists per year visit, most arriving on cruise ships. Such visitors do not spend large amounts of money ($146.70 each on average) but as a group, they contributed $339.8 million to the economy in 2012.
However, the travel industry warned in late 2014 that work needs to be done for USVI tourism practices to meet 21st century demands. "The needs of the community and the tourists may be diametrically opposed; however, for tourism to flourish cooperation is a necessity. From reduced energy costs to increased educational opportunities, from improved healthcare to a continued reduction in crime, these and many other challenges must be tackled. There is only now."
Additionally, the islands frequently are a starting point for private yacht charters to the neighboring British Virgin Islands. Euromonitor indicates that over 50 percent of the workforce is employed in some tourism-related work.
-Coki Beach
Coki is St. Thomas's party beach, thronged with families, revelers and beach vendors.
Snorkelers and divers love Coki's underwater clarity and sea creatures. Beach day-trippers enjoy the sand, sunshine and wandering vendors of drinks and snacks, souvenirs, sunscreen and hair-braiding.
-Trunk Bay
The U.S. Postal Service put it on a stamp, Condé Nast Traveler called it one of the top 10 beaches in the world, National Geographic declared it without equal: Trunk Bay. The talc-soft sands, turquoise waters and lush green backdrop of this earthly paradise inspire superlatives in all who see it, while its location within the Virgin Islands National Park ensures it remains free of unsympathetic development.
-Maho Bay
Perched on St John's northern shore, Maho Bay draws families and snorkelers to its calm, shallow waters. It's easily accessible, as you can drive right up to the beach and park on the side of a road lined with groves of coconut palms.
Maho Bay is named after the beach Maho tree, which you can identify by its heart-shaped leaves and bright, yellow flowers. The narrow beach fronts a shallow, sheltered bay that is a popular anchorage for yachts.
St. Croix keeps its distance from the other two U.S. Virgin Islands, with a distinct identity and thriving industry which leaves it less reliant on tourism. Nonetheless there is more than enough to interest beach bums, history buffs and even gourmands.
