IRVINE, Calif., June 11, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Cerna Home Care, a provider of senior care services has released "Onhand Assistance." Onhand Assistance is a smartwatch for seniors, enabling them to age in place safely and affordably. Onhand Assistance was developed for seniors living alone and their concerned family members who worry about them. The stylish wearable device provides fall detection, fall notification, vitals monitoring, cellular communication, and medication reminders - in addition to life saving calls and care.
Falls are the leading cause of fatal injury and the most common cause of nonfatal trauma-related hospital admissions among older adults. Seniors home alone are prone to dangers like falling and medical emergencies, or they may need some type of assistance. Onhand Assistance helps lessen the need for expensive personal caregivers and avoids time consuming ambulance trips to the hospital due to false alarms. Family members monitor their loved one through the Onhand Assistance smartphone app. Seniors, their friends and their families benefit by being better connected inexpensively and effectively.
Cerna Home Care's Founder and CEO, Nick Payzant, explains, "There are many devices on the market for seniors that contact a call center with the push of a button. However, there are none combining cell phone features, auto fall detection, automatic calling, medication reminders, vitals monitoring and GPS location monitoring. Onhand Assistance sends family members alerts via the smartphone app. It also calls and dispatches a senior care professional (not a call center employee that may have no experience with senior care) who can administer a full range of care services at home or can help determine if emergency personnel is needed."
Cerna Home Care knows firsthand seniors want a discrete solution that doesn't look like a medical alert device. Seniors also want the option to reach people they know that can come to their home if needed, as opposed to a call center where a stranger doesn't have any familiarity with them.
Onhand Assistance Features:
? Fall detection and Automatic SOS Alert
? SOS Distress Button
? Two-way Calling
? GPS Tracking and History Displacement
? Heart Rate Monitor
? Medication reminders
? Safe Zone Set-up
? Push Button Family Calling
"The Onhand Assistance smartwatch solution fills the gaps in today's wearable medical alert devices. In caring for the elderly, we listened to family members, care recipients, hospitals and rehab centers asking for a more robust way to be connected and safe," said Payzant.
More information is available at www.onhandassistance.com
Cerna Home Care, headquartered in Irvine, CA, is a home care and nursing services company specializing in services for the elderly. Cerna has a comprehensive range of services to help elders stay in their homes. The assistance ranges from help with transfers, meals, bathing, grooming, and attending doctors' appointments, to dietary needs, family caregiver coaching, housing evaluation and much more.

I can't say I've ever had the pleasure of dancing up a storm at Jewel's Catch One in LA and sadly I never will–it closed in 2015. I suspect a lot of you are in the same boat, but fortunately, we can get pretty close to the Catch One experience, which spanned over four decades, by taking in writer-director C. Fitz's documentary, Jewel's Catch One.
So what's so special about this particular nightclub? A number of things, from reportedly being the oldest black-owned club in the U.S. to its status as being the "unofficial Studio 54 of the West Coast." But more impressive than that, I believe, was its reputation for being a fantastic gay club that welcomed all, which was only made possible through the work of its founder and owner, Jewel Thais-Williams. A force of nature of a woman and an out lesbian, Jewel was not only a smart business owner but a civil rights leader who tackled racism, police harassment, the AIDS crisis and homophobia, all of which converged at Catch One.
In 1973, it was unthinkable that a poor black lesbian would be able to buy her own business and compete with white male owners. But with just $500 to her name, Jewel bought the downstairs portion of the corner she would come to dominate. By 1975, she owned the entire building, having bought the upstairs part she would name the Catch One. In those early days, Jewel put in so many hours that she actually ended up sleeping on the club's pool table.
The Catch One opened its doors to everyone at a time when people were often denied entry elsewhere because of race, gender, sexual orientation and so on. It quickly gained a reputation for being the go-to place for the black gay community in Los Angeles. Unfortunately, with that reputation came the attention of the cops, who would visit the club every night.
Still, by the end of the '70s, the club was extremely popular. Talent like that of DJ Billy Long's cemented the Catch One's status of being "the" place to dance. During its heyday, it was normal to see 1,600-1,700 people packed in there, well-exceeding regulations. And you better believe almost every single one of those folks were dressed to impress.
You know who probably didn't want to stand out, though? The many celebrities that attended. Featured in the documentary are interviews with the likes of Sharon Stone, Sandra Bernhard, Bonnie Pointer, Jenifer Lewis and more. Most famous, however, were Madonna's visits (it's been said Catch One was where she learned how to vogue). She even booked the venue to host the release party for her 2000 album Music.
While the '70s were good to the Catch One, the '80s were the start of a dark period, both for the club and Jewel. From '79 to '86, Jewel had been using drugs and drinking heavily. Then in 1985, the club was the victim of arson, and it would take two years to reopen. But the biggest hit by far was the AIDS crisis that rocked the gay community.
The AIDS crisis literally took patrons away from the Catch One. It was during these most difficult of times that Jewel really stepped up. She kept men off the streets, fed them and just generally provided comfort and a safe space. She also did a lot of fundraising for the black gay community, which was overwhelmingly overlooked, and in 1985 co-founded the Minority AIDS Project. She also co-founded Rue's House with her wife, Rue Thais-Williams (also interviewed for the documentary), in 1989, which sheltered women and children with AIDS or who were HIV-positive.
The '90s would see Jewel spread her attention yet again. At the age of 56, she pursued studies in Chinese medicine so she could work as a healer. In 2001, she established the Village Health Foundation right next door to the club. The clinic is a not-for-profit that doesn't turn anyone away. Also nearby the club was a vegan restaurant Jewel opened up in the late 2000s that has since closed.
What of the club in the 2000s? Well, it never really recaptured the heights of its gay glory days. The age limit was lowered to 18 and near its end, it was more popular amongst lesbians than gay men. Even so, it was Jewel's decision to rent the space out to other party promoters that kept the business going. Still, the club continued to play an important part in the community as queer organizers regularly met there.
But in 2015, Jewel decided it was time to finally say "goodbye" to Catch One. Her focus is now primarily on the clinic, even though her wife hopes that being 77-years-old, she might finally think about retiring. Something tells me that's not going to happen.
That's a lot of loving and living that C. Fitz has managed to pack into one documentary, but it's done brilliantly.

Woman charged for third false 911 call in 2014
EDWARDSVILLE — A rural Granite City woman was charged Tuesday in Madison County Circuit Court with a felony charge of disorderly conduct, according to a release from Madison County Sheriff Robert J. Hertz.
Jennifer Richter, 39 of Miracle Ave. in Granite City was charged after the sheriff's office responded to her residence in reference to Richter calling 911 and reporting underage alcohol consumption in the home. Deputies met with occupants in the home and determined the claim to be false, the release said.
Deputies then searched the area around Richter's home and found her walking in the roadway. Deputies met with Richter and found her to be intoxicated, the release said. Richter was taken into custody for making a false report through the 911 emergency system.
Richter was previously arrested by the Madison County Sheriff's Office for similar false 911 reports on Sept. 2, 2014, and again on Sept. 5, 2014.
Richter was transported to the Madison County Jail where she were held pending a formal review of facts by the Madison County State's Attorney's Office. The felony warrant and information was issued by Judge Richard Tognarelli, who set Richter's bond at $10,000.

The definitive fiduciary rule guide for advisors
This story was originally published by Investopedia.
With so much in flux around the fiduciary rule ― Will the Department of Labor rescind it? Will the SEC create its own standard? Will Congress intervene? ― advisors could be forgiven for being uncertain about where things stand.
Here then, is a breakdown of the essentials, from where the industry has been to where it's going next.
The Department of Labor's fiduciary rule was originally scheduled to be phased in from April 10, 2017 to January 1, 2018. Full implementation of the remaining elements of the rule has been pushed back to July 1, 2019. The Labor Department, meanwhile, is conducting a review that President Trump ordered earlier this year.
The rule expands the "investment advice fiduciary" definition under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. If this sweeping regulation (1,023 pages in length) is not stopped outright, it will automatically elevate all financial professionals who work with retirement plans or provide retirement planning advice to the level of a fiduciary, bound legally and ethically to meet the standards of that status. While the new rules are likely to have at least some impact on all financial advisors, it is expected that those who work on commission, such as brokers and insurance agents, will be impacted the most.
The Labor Department's definition of a fiduciary demand is that advisors act in the best interests of their clients, and put their clients' interests above their own. It leaves no room for advisors to conceal any potential conflict of interest, and states that all fees and commissions must be clearly disclosed in dollar form to clients. The definition has been expanded to include any professional making a recommendation or solicitation — and not simply giving ongoing advice. Previously, only advisors who were charging a fee for service either hourly or as a percentage of account holdings on retirement plans were considered fiduciaries.
Fiduciary is a much higher level of accountability than the suitability standard previously required of financial salespersons, such as brokers, planners and insurance agents, who work with retirement plans and accounts. Suitability meant that as long as an investment recommendation met a client's defined need and objective, it was deemed appropriate. Now, financial professionals are legally obligated to put their clients' interests first rather than simply finding suitable investments. The new rule could therefore eliminate many commission structures that govern the industry.
Advisors who wish to continue working on commission will need to provide clients with a disclosure agreement, called a best interest contract exemption, in circumstances where a conflict of interest could exist (such as, the advisor receiving a higher commission or special bonus for selling a certain product). This is to guarantee that the advisor is working unconditionally in the best interest of the client. All compensation that is paid to the fiduciary must be clearly spelled out as well.
Covered retirement plans include:
- Defined-contribution plans: four types of 401(k) plans, 403(b) plans, employee stock ownership plans, Simplified Employee Pension (SEP) plans and savings incentive match plans (simple IRA)
- Defined-benefit plans: pension plans or those that promises a certain payment to the participant as defined by the plan document
- Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs)
- If a customer calls a financial advisor and requests a specific product or investment, that does not constitute financial advice.
- Financial advisors can provide education to clients, such as general investment advice based on a person's age or income, and it also does not constitute financial advice.
- Taxable transactional accounts or accounts funded with after-tax dollars are not considered retirement plans, even if the funds are personally earmarked for retirement savings.
Originally, the Labor Department regulated the quality of financial advice surrounding retirement under ERISA. Enacted in 1974, ERISA had never been revised to reflect changes in retirement savings trends, particularly the shift from defined benefit plans to defined contribution plans, and the huge growth in IRAs.
A set of reforms was proposed back in 2010, but it was quickly withdrawn in 2011 after fierce protest from the financial industry regarding regulatory costs, liability costs and client concerns.
Five years later, the financial industry was put on notice in 2015 that the landscape was going to change. A major overhaul was proposed by President Obama on February 23, 2015. "Today, I'm calling on the Department of Labor to update the rules and requirements that retirement advisors put the best interests of their clients above their own financial interests," Obama said. "It's a very simple principle: You want to give financial advice, you've got to put your client's interests first."
The Labor Department proposed its new regulations on April 14, 2016. This time around, the Office of Budget and Management approved the rule in record time, while President Obama endorsed and fast-tracked its implementation. The final rulings were issued on April 6, 2016. Before finalizing the ruling, the Labor Department held four days of public hearings. While the final version was being hammered out, the rule was known as the fiduciary standard. In January 2017 during the first session of Congress of the year, a bill was introduced by Rep. Joe Wilson (R-S.C.) to delay the actual start of the fiduciary rule for two years.
There's little doubt that the 40-year-old ERISA rules were overdue for a change, and many industry groups have already jumped onboard with the new plan, including the CFP Board, the FPA, and NAPFA. Supporters applauded the new rule, saying it should increase and streamline transparency for investors, make conversations easier for advisors entertaining changes, and most of all, prevent abuses on the part of financial advisors, such as excessive commissions and investment churning for reasons of compensation. A 2015 report by the White House Council of Economic Advisers found that biased advice drained $17 billion a year from retirement accounts.
However, the department's regulation has met with staunch opposition from other professionals, including brokers and planners. Some advisors and brokers would rather be held to a suitability standard than a fiduciary standard because the latter will cost them money – in lost commissions and the added expense of compliance. The stricter fiduciary standards could cost the financial services industry an estimated $2.4 billion per year by eliminating conflicts of interest like front-end load commissions and mutual fund 12b-1 fees paid to wealth management and advisory firms.
While the best interest contract exemptions would permit broker-dealers and insurance companies to provide plan participants with fiduciary advice while still receiving commissions, many professionals fear the conflict-of-interest yardstick would essentially eliminate commissions. This in turn would force financial advisors to create or shift fees onto individuals, and could price many middle- and lower-market investors out of the market, the regulation's critics argue.
Three lawsuits have been filed against the rule. The one that has drawn the most attention was filed in June 2016 by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, SIFMA and the Financial Services Roundtable in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas. The basis of the suit is that the Obama administration did not have authorization to take the action it did in endorsing and fast-tracking the legislation. Some lawmakers also believe the Labor Department itself is reaching beyond its jurisdiction by targeting IRAs. Precedent dictates Congress alone has approval power regarding a consumer's right to sue.
Some critics suggest the new fiduciary rule makes no difference anyway. Those observers say consumers will still be subject to being cheated by "bad actors." For example, complying with the new rule will require more paperwork. Paperwork, critics say, is a great place to hide a scam and then later say the customer signed and knew what he or she was signing.
The Labor Department continues to defend the rule in multiple lawsuits in 2017.
After the department officially announced the 60-day delay to the rule's applicability, a "Retirement Ripoff Counter" was unveiled by Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka. Partnering with Americans for Financial Reform and the Consumer Federation of America, their counter attempts to highlight the "...cost to Americans of saving for retirement without the fiduciary rule, starting from Feb. 03, 2017." The press release from Americans for Financial Reform states, "Every day that conflicted advice continues costs them [Americans] $46 million a day, $1.9 million per hour, and $532 a second."
The regulation is expected to increase compliance costs, especially in the broker-dealer world. Fee-only advisors and RIAs are expected to see increases in their compliance costs as well.
The fiduciary rule could be tough on smaller, independent broker dealers and RIA firms. They may not have the financial resources to invest in the technology and the compliance expertise to meet all of the requirements. Thus, it won't be surprising to see some of these smaller firms merge with or be acquired by larger companies. The brokerage operations of MetLife and AIG have already been sold off in anticipation of these rules and the related costs.
Advisors and registered reps who dabble in terms of advising 401(k) plans may be forced out of that business by their broker-dealers due to the new compliance aspects. This could reduce the number of advisors who serve smaller plans. That's what happened in the U.K. after the country passed similar regulations in 2011; since then, the number of financial advisors there has dropped by about 22.5%.
Ameriprise CEO Jim Cracchiolo said, "The regulatory environment will likely lead to consolidation within the industry, which we already see. Independent advisors or independent broker-dealers may lack the resources or the scale to navigate the changes required, and seek a strong partner."
Annuity vendors also will have to disclose their commissions to clients, which could significantly reduce sales of these products in many cases. These vehicles have been the source of major controversy among industry experts and regulators for decades, as they usually pay very high commissions to the agents selling them, and come with an array of charges and fees that can significantly reduce the returns that clients earn with them.
The main impact is anticipated to be connected with IRAs, since these vehicles are often handled at brokerages. In particular, rollovers from 401(k) plans to IRAs will certainly come under scrutiny. There have been many instances reported in the financial press (and likely tens of thousands more in reality) about advisors suggesting rollovers to IRAs, even though it may not have been in the client's best interest ― either in terms of moving the client's money out of a low-cost company retirement plan that offered solid investment choices or in terms of the types of high-cost investments recommended in the new IRA.
The Labor Department has also released answers to common questions they've received about the new rules in the form of FAQs, which address topics from investments to advisor compensation.
As if there wasn't enough confusion among advisors and clients about the new plan, the SEC has projected proposing its own set of fiduciary rules in April 2017. It is likely any new SEC rules would extend beyond retirement accounts and govern the way in which RIAs and brokers treat clients in all dealings, mandating that the client's interests must come first in all cases. Former SEC Chairwoman Mary Jo White has indicated that she supports non-governmental, third-party examinations of investment advisors. FINRA would be an example of such a third party.
A major concern of many advisors and brokers will likely be whether or not a new set of SEC rules will be consistent with the existing Labor Department fiduciary rules. In the event of conflicting rules, financial advisors may find it difficult to follow the proper course of action.
If advisors and their firms are now faced with a second set of regulations that is decidedly different than the Labor Department rules, the costs of compliance and the manpower needed also could drive some smaller broker-dealers out of the business.

Dozens of MIGRANTS in CARAVAN stuck at US-Mexico border, angry with USA!
The carven that wanted to get into the United States got a lot of attention back when President tweeted about it and calling for stricter border security.
Now that wave of migrants has reached the US-Mexico border but have been barred from entering the US through its border.
According the official number about 150 people are in the caravan, many of whom have children with them. They are at the US-Mexico border crossing which is located near San Diego.
It is still to be known if they will be allowed to get in or not, but the group seems to be staying put and seems determined to get into the US.
This caravan is called a threat to the safety of the US by President Donald Trump.
This group has been put on the chopping block after Trump used them frequently to propose the need for stricter immigration laws.
In a tweet he said, 'The migrant 'caravan' that is openly defying our border show weak & ineffective U.S. immigration laws are. Yet Democrats like Jon Tester continue to support the open border agenda – Tester even voted to protect the Sanctuary Cities. We need lawmakers who will put America First.'
He then sent the National Guard to keep the people from crossing over the border.
The US is obliged by its law to hear the asylum applications, however, majority of people from Central America are rejected.
One of the group claimed that no one has been processed by the relevant authorities.
In a statement, CBP Commissioner Kevin McAleenan said that 'we have reached capacity at the San Ysidro port of entry.'
'Those individuals may need to wait in Mexico as CBP officers work to process those already within our facilities.'
'We can build a base in Iraq in under a week. We can't process 200 refugees. I don't believe it,' Nicole Ramos told the Associated Press news agency.

A child prodigy turned concert pianist, composer, conductor and teacher, Cervantes studied in Paris, but thereafter his life was centred on Cuba. This set of Danzas Cubanas is his best-known work. It can be heard as a collection of Latin ragtime, ranging from jazzy to lyrical, from humorous to deeply emotional. Certainly the habanera, this most famous of the Cuban dances, was the seed of the tango—so this is the proto-tango, which would eventually lead to the sweet creations of Carlos Gardel—think of Mi Buenos Aires querido, or Por una cabeza. Also, you might recognize echoes of the witty piano music of Louis Moreau Gottschalk.
The numbers are sensual, sentimental, even melodramatic, but one thing they are not is boring. This is light music without pretence, but light as Chopin's mazurkas or Schubert's waltzes are: predictable yet inventive. It's like attending a Cuban Schubertiade! The music is built on quite standard moves, and each piece has a standard structure of two 16-bar sections. The rhythms are infectious; even the title Danzas cubanas (say it aloud!) sets a torn, swaying rhythm. The sunny, carefree atmosphere of La Isla Grande rules. The ordering of the pieces sustains the interest throughout; this is not one of those collections where the most attractive numbers go at the beginning and end, and the middle stows all the boring rest!
I doubt that many of these melodies will sink into your heart forever, but all are good while they last. The names of the pieces are colorful and descriptive: Yes, forever; It has to be; Weep no more; Cold showers; Don't touch me and so on. Knowing the name often gives a new view on the music. The names set up the plot; the music becomes like an accompaniment to a silent movie.
The playing is idiomatic, embossed, aristocratic and well-judged. The pianist excellently conveys the smile in the music and the subtle humor of the composer. You'll feel the sadness of Farewell to Cuba, the wit of Cri-cri (Rustling of Petticoats), the reluctance of Decision, the serenity of Amen. Spiritual union is almost a romance by Tchaikovsky. The playing is well articulated and expressive without overloading.
All in all, I find this an excellent background disc, as cheering as a good tropical cocktail but this is not a disc for concentrated listening, at least not for its entire length. © 2012 MusicWeb International Read complete review
If you like the piano music of Louis Moreau Gottschalk or Ernesto Nazareth, you'll love hearing this.
It's all a lot of merry fun, and Álvaro Cendoya is a marvelous caretaker for the (very rare) music, with a cheerful disposition and the ability to bring out all the diversity and complexity of the Afro-Caribbean rhythms. This may be an album of trifles, but it's a lovely one at that, and comes with a quality booklet note, excellent clear sound, computer database info which supplies multiple translations for some tracks, and one of my very favorite Naxos cover designs…It's not exactly Chopin, then, or even Moszkowski, but a good time will be had by all. © 2012 MusicWeb International Read complete review

On The Amazing Race 5, Charla Faddoul (along with her cousin Mirna Hindoyian) proved that just because she's small doesn't mean she's not a force to be reckoned with. At 4 feet tall (due to a form of dwarfism), she carried a 55-lb. side of beef half a mile and survived a run-in with an electric fence. Now she's back on Battle of the Network Reality Stars (premiering tonight at 9 pm/ET), Bravo's newly revamped version of the '70s series. TVGuide.com gave Charla a ring to talk about her stellar jousting skills and the never-say-die attitude she displayed while facing Swan winner Rachel Love-Fraser.
TVGuide.com: What are you doing these days?
Charla Faddoul: I manage sporting-goods outlets. I was doing this before I got on The Amazing Race, and basically I'm doing it afterward, too. Sometimes when I have some free time I do a couple of things here and there, like Battle of the Network Reality Stars.
TVGuide.com: You also recently had free time to do an episode of The Comeback.
Charla: Did you see it? It was fun; it was a good episode.
TVGuide.com: How did it come about?
Charla: [Executive producer] Michael Patrick King called me up and asked me if I would be interested in being in The Comeback, and he said that if I accepted they were going to write a script just for me. That was very awesome. I loved it! It was very fun working with Lisa Kudrow; she's very nice.
TVGuide.com: On The Comeback, you played a version of yourself who had her own reality show [titled "The Little Assistant"]. Is that something you'd ever consider?
Charla: Yeah, I would, actually. My agent is looking into something like that for my own reality show, and she talked to some producers, so if it happens, I would love [it]. I think it would be very interesting.
TVGuide.com: Would you actually like to do a show where you're a different person's "little assistant" each week, or something else?
Charla: Anything that's interesting and fun. I like to do courageous things. It was kind of interesting to be someone's assistant [as she was on Comeback] and see what their reaction is, and how things work out and how things happen in the end.
TVGuide.com: I saw the first episode of Battle of the Network Reality Stars and thought it was great!
Charla: You did? Now you can tell me what happens. I [haven't] watched it yet.
TVGuide.com: The first episode has you jousting, but then your team decides to eliminate you anyway. What's up with that?
Charla: That jousting was tough! When I came off of [the platform], my body was literally shaking and the next day I had bruises all over my body. Literally, for a week my body was in so much pain — but I just kept going on. I was not willing to give up. A lot of people took a few hits and said, "That's it, I'm coming down," but I gave it my all. What hurt me, after doing all that, was my team voting me off. That was such a disappointment to me. I felt that they didn't see anything I did for the team.
TVGuide.com: It seemed like they totally underestimated you.
Charla: It threw me off because usually I go into something and give it my all and people don't usually say ,"Good job," [but] then [think], "We've got to get her off right now."
TVGuide.com: Did they not watch The Amazing Race? Did they not see how tough you were?
Charla: I guess not. There was a girl on that team from Temptation Island, and she didn't really do much. She was flirting with another guy and [the team] ended up letting her stay. I'm not about flirting; I'm about playing my game. In these types of games, you kind of have to flirt and play those sissy games that make it interesting for TV.
TVGuide.com: Did you ever watch the original Battle of the Network Stars?
Charla: They sent a tape and I was able to watch the version from 1976, which was the year I was born. It was interesting.
TVGuide.com: Was participating in it what you had expected?
Charla: It was a little different. [In the original] they were having so much fun. It wasn't all backstabbing, it was a completely different atmosphere. It was like Farrah Fawcett and all these big stars just having fun. [Our show] is going to be a phenomenal show for the whole six weeks that it's on, with a lot of twists and turns and exciting moments. It's all just great.

Game of coups
In the blood-soaked history of Bangladesh, this week marks the 40th anniversary of a particularly dark and grim episode. On 7 November 1975, dozens of army officers of were killed by mutinous jawans. The mutiny was orchestrated by Lt Col Abu Taher, who was retired from services a few years earlier and at that time was a key leader of the radical Jatiya Samajtantrik Dal. The mutineers killed Brigadier Khaled Mosharraf, who had instigated a coup few days earlier against the regime of Khondaker Moshtaq Ahmed, in power since the bloody putsch of 15 August that killed President Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and most of his family. Amid the confusion caused by Mosharraf's manoeuvres against the 'killer majors', four senior Awami League leaders — including Tajuddin Ahmed, the country's first prime minister who led the war effort in 1971 when Mujib was interned in Pakistan — were assassinated in the central jail, allegedly with the consent of President Moshtaq. The chaos and carnage of 7 November, coming on the heels of the August massacre and the jail killing, threatened to put the very existence of Bangladesh at risk.
Fortunately, Taher's mutiny proves short-lived as the army rallied behind Major General Ziaur Rahman.
This post isn't about revisiting our coup-prone history or explaining it. Rather, using the ideas of Naunihal Singh, an American political scientist, I want to discuss why some of those coups were more successful than others, and what they might tell us about the present day Bangladesh.
Mr Singh's recent book Seizing Power: the strategic logic of military coups is a major contribution to the literature on military coup. His thesis is summarised in this review of the book:
Coup attempts are best understood as coordination games, or "situations in which each individual has an incentive to do what others are doing, and therefore each individual's choices are based on his or her beliefs about the likely actions of others." Instead of thinking about coups as battles (e.g., the side with the greatest military power will win) or coups as elections (e.g., the side with the most public support will win), Singh pushes us to think of coup success as being driven by coup-makers' ability to get others to believe that their coup attempt will be successful.
How do coup-makers convince others their coup attempt will be successful? They convince military actors that the success of the coup has the support of almost everybody in the military and that any possible resistance is minor.
(Emphasis: mine).
Let's think about the events of 1975 through the prism of Singh's analysis.
In the morning of 15 August 1975, radio blared the news of Mujib's death while tanks roamed the streets of Dhaka. There was no resistance against the coupmakers. Surviving senior officers like Major General Shafiullah have pleaded over the years that there was nothing they could do to save the president. Perhaps they are right. Perhaps not. But Singh's logic tells us that once Mujib and family were dead and one of his senior ministers appeared as the leader of the new order, the killer majors succeeded in getting others to believe that their coup attempt was successful. After that, toppling the Moshtaq regime would require a counter-coup.
Khaled Mosharraf's counter-coup and Taher's counter-counter-coup failed because both failed to get others to believe that their respective coup attempts would be successful. Khaled negotiated for hours with the majors and ultimately let them go while the jail killings happened. His aims were never made public, and he was vulnerable to the accusation of ushering in a Mujibist restoration or being a puppet of Indian hegemony. In Taher's case, ordinary soldiers chose as their leader Zia, who did not share Taher's politics.
By the same logic, Zia succeeded in restoring order and consolidating power because of his ability to get others to believe that he would be successful. It is ironic that Zia's political heirs spend so much energy in trying to elevate Zia's 1971 role while his detractors try to portray him as the arch-villain of 1975. A less blinkered view of history would be that the political importance of the March radio broadcast from Chittagong was the rank and not the person holding it — that it was a major of Pakistan army telling the world, in English, that a war of resistance against the Pakistanis had begun. It may well have been another major in Kalurghat that day in 1971, and things probably wouldn't have been all that different.
Not so after 7 November 1975, when Zia, and only Zia, could get others — initially the army, then the bureaucracy, the urban elite and foreign donors, and eventually the entire nation — that he would be successful in preserving Bangladesh's existence. A more mature political discourse would acknowledge Zia as the hero of 1975.
The Zia regime did face a number of coup attempts, the last one ending his life in May 1981. His successor as military strongman-turned-politician, Lt Gen HM Ershad, faced no coup threat, and the only time the army disobeyed him was when he asked it to put down a student-led urban uprising. That uprising ended his regime. The army rank-and-file was drawn from the same socioeconomic class whence the university students came from. Any given captain in charge of firing on the demonstrations might well have had a cousin in his target. The army chose to accept civilian leadership than use large scale violence against civilians.
The need to avoid large scale violence against civilians was used as a key motivation for Lt Gen Moeen U Ahmed's power grab in January 2007. Ultimately, the 1/11 experiment failed because Moeen and his backers were outplayed by Mrs Hasina Wajed and Mrs Khaleda Zia. But the initial coup attempt succeeded because Moeen and others like Major General Masud Uddin Chowdhury could get others to believe that their coup attempt would be successful.
In the winter of 2013-14, many in our political class expected a coup, but it didn't eventuate. Why?
One argument is that the army has been 'funded to forget' about coups — as Victor Mallet put it in the Financial Times in April 2015. The FT is paywalled, so let me quote the choice bits:
"Zia's strategy is to bring in the army," says one leading Bangladeshi analyst who asks not to be named for fear of reprisals. "You ratchet up the level of violence to the extent that the army feels compelled to restore order.
"Hasina, understanding that . . . is giving [the military], all sorts of toys — buying them MiGs or submarines and allocating cantonments [residential areas]. She is creating an appetite [within] the army that future governments will find very hard to feed. Nothing they are asking for is being denied."
Bangladesh is buying subsidised weapons from China and Russia and its annual defence budget has doubled in the past six years to more than $2bn, although official defence spending remains a fairly modest 1.4 per cent of gross domestic product.
The government says the 260,000-strong army has no interest staging a coup d'état and benefits from being the largest contributor to UN peacekeeping forces around the world. "This is something the army wouldn't like to tarnish," says HT Imam, a minister and one of Ms Hasina's advisers.
Mahbubur Rahman, an opposition BNP leader and a former army chief, defends the army's professionalism and says it would nowadays intervene in politics only out of patriotism and if national security was threatened.
But he also agrees that the Hasina government is providing financial and other inducements to keep the armed forces on its side, not least through a generous policy of promotions for senior officers. When he was army chief there was only one lieutenant-general — himself — whereas now there are six, he says.
"This government has really expanded the army, by manpower, firepower, and equipment. There are a lot of welfare projects for the army," he says. "The pay is better."
Like some of the BNP's leaders, independent analysts have concluded that Ms Hasina has outwitted Ms Zia — at least for the time being — partly by co-opting every branch of the security forces from the main military intelligence agency to the Rapid Action Battalion, an elite anti-crime and anti-terror unit accused of atrocities against the opposition.
According to Singh's analysis, however, it's not the largesse as such that made a coup less likely. Rather, given the largesse, the crucial factor might be the inability of any would be coupmaker to convince anyone else in the army that collectively the forces would be better off with a coup.
Further, there is another factor that may be less well understood. With the advent of the Rapid Action Battalion, the army as such need not be at risk of being pitted against the civilian populace. For example, think about the events of Matijheel in May 2013. The army rank-and-file is drawn from the same socioeconomic class whence the Hefazot gatherers came. Any given captain in charge of firing on the gathering might well have had a cousin in his target. The thing is, the army was never called to disperse the mob in Shapla Chattar. Rather, it was a particular unit of RAB that was deployed. The conjecture is that the routine RAB posting of majors and colonels act as a screening device for the government to determine which officers and their men can be trusted for such sensitive assignments. The whole army need never be involved in any political mess. Indeed, by toppling the current government, any would-be coupmaker would put the army squarely in the middle of a political mess. How would any coupmaker then convince anyone else to support his power grab?
That is, according to Singh's analysis, a coup is less likely today because of the coup-makers' inability to get others to believe that their coup attempt will be successful.
There are so many things depressing about today's Bangladesh. At least one upside is that a repeat of 1975 is less likely.

Great to see you writing again, Jyoti bhai. A very good set of posts.

Although guest blogging has been getting a lot of bad press lately for its spammy inclinations, it can also be the beginning of a symbiotic relationship between blog owner and guest blogger. If you are an advocate of morally acceptable SEO tactics, then you should benefit from finding good guest blogging opportunities.
In the race for search engine optimization, all bloggers and website owners know that getting a link from reputable or widely popular blogs also ups their own site in traffic and respectability. And one way to get those links is through guest blogs. But applying to be a guest blogger is not as easy as writing a post for your own blog. There are two hurdles you have to overcome: first, to find out which blogs in your niche are the most popular, the dominant players, the often talked about; and second, which is the more difficult task, to convince the owners to accept youa s a guest blogger because you write quality content posts that will add value to their blog.
The most well-known method for finding authority blogs in your niche is to do the Google search. But aside from your main keyword, use a combination of words related to your niche. Then follow with the usual "guest post†but don't limit yourself to it. You can type in "write for usâ€, "become a contributor†or "guest posting guidelines†as these will indicate that the blog is accepting guest bloggers. Strong blogs have a community of engaged readers, an active social media presence and lots of comments, shares and likes. Eliminate article directories and content mills and take time to read the blog's contents. Do they provide useful and unique content and are they compelling reads?
The challenge here is competing with all the other guest bloggers in your field who have almost certainly applied, too.
So, how do you find good guest blogging opportunities before the others do?
Here are some great tools:
Buzzsumo is where you can find the most shared content relating to your niche, the key influencers and how the competition is doing. For guest bloggers, this is very useful. All you do is type in your keyword, unselect all types on the left-hand side except "Guest Posts†and begin your search. The results will show the top content being shared on social media, the blog sites and the authors.
Most guest bloggers looking for websites to post in are not aware that Twitter is a very powerful tool for searching. It contains tons of information and is often more current than Google. By typing in the keyword or keyword related terms and following them with "guest postâ€, you get the top content. Its Advanced Search feature allows you to filter your search by date range, hashtags, words and phrases, and authors.
The great thing about Alltop is, the websites and blogs featured in it are the top ones on the internet. Alltop is a website that aggregates the latest news and information from these highest ranking blogs and websites in their niche. Search for a topic by typing in your keyword and you get the headlines of the most recent articles and news from websites and blogs. For example, search for "social media†and you get that day's post on Mashable and TechCrunch.
It will probably be difficult to get into these big players' websites and many of them may not even accept guest posts. But for those that do, try anyway, if you think what you're offering is quality content.

While I was attempting to make the bed this morning Jazz and Jewel were helping as only cats can. (clicking on any of the photos will make them larger)
The garden continues to give me joy. I know I said I wouldn't put any more photos of daffodils up, but I lied.
I love the carpet of fallen camellia petals. Some fell naturally and some were helped on their way by king parrots like the one so skillfully concealed in the next photo.
And a little more Jazz, looking very silly, on top of the fridge. Regrettably this is probably one of his favourite places in the house. From there he scurries behind the kitchen cupboards. It is disconcerting to say the least to walk past a purring cupboard.

Thinking about Quartz countertops for your kitchen? Do your homework before you jump on the bandwagon. While Quartz has been the de facto countertop standard since last year, the tides have quickly turned as a tsunami of industry issues snowballed to cripple the quartz market.
Over the years, green practices have evolved to better find a solution to our single-use, mass-waste society. It seems that the latest trend in the world of green solutions, circular economy, is the answer we've been looking for.
As the Quartz industry spirals indefinitely out of control, the design world looks for alternatives that are not commodities caught up in a war of trade and arrogance. Simultaneously, countertop fabricators and millworkers alike are looking for materials that are unfettered with cost uncertainty and impending penalties on already installed materials. Companies are scrambling to set up quartz manufacturing here in the US, but the reality is that there are already suitable alternatives here.
We have pulled together a list of some great alternatives to quartz that are beautiful, have exceptional performance and will get you ahead of the surfacing design curve and out of the quartz quandary.
Pardon our stars, but why the **** are you still using quartz for your countertops?! It's time to use PaperStone, and we'll tell you why.
The latest on the quartz tariff saga. Grab some aspirin - you're about to have a serious headache.
As the cult following Game of Thrones amps up to its epic conclusion, with warring factions fighting for survival and hoping to emerge the victor, we thought it coincided nicely with the rise of sintered stone in our market. We partnered with our friends over at Modern Surfaces to discuss the rise of sintered stone.
And just when I thought surfacing was pretty boring, this Quartz countertop thing is blowing up!
An industry that rests on its laurels and has largely been running to the bank in a boom construction market for the last 7+ years, has had to stop and smell the roses. And those are some thorny roses.
While the latest quartz tariffs may be shutting down manufacturers worldwide, the manufacturers in China are savvy. They are not going to shut their doors. Not going to toss up their hands and say "That was fun while it lasted." No, they are looking for a workaround. And the language in the anti-dumping ruling accommodates it.

Hated my makeup trial
Sooo its 26 days to go today! I had my makeup trial & hair last night! And I hated my makeup!! she said we'd go for a vintage look red lips etc. & i hated it. I made her change the red lipstick but I hated everything else as well. What should I do? Even h2b said I didn't look like me and he thought it was a lot of makeup.
I get that you need a lot for the photos but I didn't like it! and I dunno what to do now? I'm really worried about paying another £70+ pounds for it done on the day & then having to wash it all off and doing it myself x
MrsF14 Posts: 131
I hated 2 make up trials I had and thought I looked like a clown! I ended up doing my own make up and was complimented on the day, by people who didn't know it was a diy job!
im pretty confident in applying my make up and I'm very particular in how I want to look.
I know people say you need a lot of make up for photographs however I think this is not really the case as long as you have a good base and define your eyes and lips well with colours that suit.
Was a vintage look the one you wanted? Are you confident doing your own make up?0
NearlyMrsHunter Posts: 29
Make-up really is such a personal thing, and very few of us regularly have someone else doing it for us! It must be so difficult, especially if you have a unique idea in your head of how you want to look. I think if you're paying a premium you should be able to have as many trials as necessary for the artist to 'get' your idea. If you're confident in doing it yourself then go for it. I know several brides who have done their own make-up. I'm not so good with it, so I will need help (industrial help!). As far as photography goes, it's just about making sure your skin colour is even and matt. Even then, I think it's such a shame when you see beautiful brides with their freckles or beauty marks covered completely. Why don't you ask your photographer what they actually need? Did the make-up girl refuse to do any more?0

I got married in August and my first makeup trial I absolutely hated I looked like a drag queen / clown so decided not to go with that makeup artist but was in complete panic mode as I had similar amount of time to you to my wedding day and it was a Sunday when I decided not to use her so was unable to do anything. On the Monday I phoned the salon where my friend got hers done and made an appointment then and there for my wedding day and for the trial on Saturday after the Monday which I loved (luckily)
Try not to panic but get onto other makeup artists this week and get a trial booked in as soon as you can0
Thanks ladies. i wanted something vintage but I'm very fair and didn't expect her to use so much bronzer particularly with it being a winter wedding and she used so much eyeliner etc! It wasn't that it was badly done- someone else may have loved it! It just wasn't me and i didn't really like any of it? She did a fab job of my bridesmaid and I have emailed her about changing things and explaining how I feel? But she's yet to reply. When we went to my hen do I got several compliments on my makeup & was told that I should just do it myself! So I'm still in two minds, as I don't really have any spare cash at the moment for a retrial or a new trial xxx0
Jessica20 Posts: 22
You could go to a make up counter and ask for a trial to get some ideas and then do it yourself with new products? I know Bobbi Brown, MAC and Laura Mercier offer this, so I'm sure other brands will do too if you prefer one over another?0
Bridalmakeupbyjuliet Posts: 358
You must communicate with her and tell her what you disliked about the makeup do that changes can get made.
Out if interest where is your wedding? Maybe I can recommend someone incase you decide to go elsewhere. Juliet x0
That's an excellent suggestion Jessica20, Im a big fan of mac products- always nicking my MOHs. Lol. I have emailed her and she has suggested coming earlier on the day? I just feel a bit panicked about it as I'm running out of time. X0
Hydrogirl Posts: 809
why not find a look u want - by going to boots makeup counters and take photos, similarly take photos of how u like ur skin and ask for a new trial - if she gets it wrong the second time (with photos of how it should be) then get a new MUA or do it yourself (i done my own after a Benefit lesson and i think it looked fine - my trials also made me look like a drag queen!)0
AbigailBrooksMUA Posts: 1
As Juliet says, it's absolutely vital that you let her know what you didn't like about the makeup and how you would like it to be changed. I would recommend either going back to her for another trial or approaching another makeup artist for a trial. They may even give you a discounted price on this if you explain what happened.
Do let me know if I can help, I'm a makeup artist from Buckinghamshire.
Good luck!0

Good Morning Ladies,
Have you sorted out the hair and make up? I am still trying to sort it out ... I saw an advert on eventbrite about a Bridal Afternoon tea, a company called Kvision is hosting a afternoon tea with hair and makeup trial, isn't it amazing? Tickets are a bit expensive, but it is the same price as a makeup an hair trial, plus you can invite 2 friends to be there with you and enjoy a girly afternoon tea. Last thing, they are also hosting a photo shooting at the same event, and I read that you can even chose to have a boudoir photo shooting... Very cool, I look forward to this event! If you fancy get a look at their website: http://www.kvisionphoto.co.uk/#!bridal-afternoon-tea/c10uc
Good lucky!

Wireframe Design to WordPress
Converting Wireframe Design to WordPress
A lot of business owners have a good idea of how their site design will look online and create PDF's or imagery to articulate their designs into WordPress. If you are a business owner and have a clear idea of how your wireframe design looks then I can convert it into reusable WordPress templates, or simply design all of the elements with editable areas.
Ideas for Wireframe Designs
It's a good idea to create a series of PDF's joined together – each pdf can be laid out as you would scroll down the page. Your wireframe can contain rough elements so that it can be understood easily – For example – You could create a simple box and just write text area inside. The content doesn't have to be 100% accurate, just the placement of the element on the page.
Software for Wireframing
There are many ways you can create your design and a lot of people will try to do this in Word. This is a clumsy solution and you'll be fighting with elements on the page – trying to switch off alignment or simply not being able to drag your frames or design elements around the screen.
Take a look at the following online resources:
Balsamiq – Offers a great way to drag and drop elements from a menu, easy and quick!
MockFlow – Great for mobile designs and includes a free membership option with limitations.
WordPress Design Structure
Most WordPress websites have a similar structure:
Home Page – Encapsulates all of your content and offers the presentation of your business.
Information Pages – Provides more permanent info about your business with About Us, Privacy, Contact pages etc. Pages can be laid out differently, so wireframing is ideal for how each page will look.
News or Blog Pages – Every business should or will have an area to add their latest news. Those 'posts' can be categorised by subject matter and have their own category page.
Archive Page – Contains access to the history of articles – January 2019, February 2019 etc and links to access them.
Search Results Page – Allows anybody to search the site and find things quicker.
Your Wireframe Ideas
If you have a design or idea of how website should look and want it converted to WordPress, please get in touch!

On the fourth day the Games came to Ibrox, emerging from the indoor arenas into the bright lights of the big stadia. The pool at Tollcross has been busy, the Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre heaving and the stands at the velodrome packed tight but nothing has compared with this.
They sold 186,000 tickets for the sevens, split between four sessions. The noise was like nothing else that has been heard here yet, so loud it was almost painful for ears grown accustomed to the sound of smaller crowds in smaller venues. "Bada-ba-dada-ba-dada-da-dum," come the drums over the sound system, followed by the low oompahs of the brass. "Here they come! It's the Cook Islands! And Barbados!" And, hard as this may be to believe, 40,000 people start to scream and shout and stamp their feet. Twelve hours later, at the far end of a long day, the tournament had a fine finale. South Africa beat New Zealand 17-12, thanks to two tries from Seabelo Senatla and a third from Cecil Afrika.
The International Rugby Board's chief executive, Brett Gosper, spoke this week about the pressure on sevens "to get it right" when the sport makes its Olympic debut in Rio in 2016. The year after those Games are over, the International Olympic Committee will vote on whether to include it in the 2024 edition. In Glasgow the organisers got it right, in an utterly, gloriously, bonkers way.
It has been one weekend-long party in the west of the city. On Saturday they had a marriage proposal in the middle of the pitch. James Collette, a soldier just back from Afghanistan, had arranged it all with the organisers beforehand. He and his girlfriend, Lucy Sargison, were called down to the pitch to take part in a quiz. Her first question was: 'Will you marry me?' Luckily, she knew the right answer.
At one point on Sunday morning there was a 40,000-strong sing-a-long of Sweet Caroline. It is one of those rare instances when all the gimcracks and gimmicks – the ear-splitting soundtrack, the drunk blokes running in human hamster wheels, the big screen invitations to play the bongos or kiss the person next to you – only add to the occasion. Not that the atmosphere particularly needed the artificial enhancement, what with Scotland playing England in plate semi-finals.
Some of the Scottish fans, like the weather, reverted to stereotype and the warm welcome offered to the English athletes elsewhere did not extend to the rugby field. The Scots were supporting anyone – everyone – else. They took a particular shine to Uganda, who took a 10-minute lap of honour after being battered 32-0 by Canada. Between them they must have shaken hands with every single person in the front row of seats.
England beat Scotland, though they considered a place in the plate final a poor prize. It was a shame more was not at stake but all three home nations were knocked out in the quarters. Scotland were stuffed by South Africa. So the spectators adopted the Samoans, who lost the bronze medal match to Australia but beat England along the way, thanks to a superb try by Sam Lio Lolo.
Wales managed to lose to Australia despite being 19-0 up at half-time. They were still ahead when the klaxon went but Australia managed to travel the length of the field and score in the corner, transporting one poor Welsh fan from a fit of giddy celebration to an explosion of foulmouthed cursing in the space of a few seconds. A similar thing happened to his team in the plate final, only this time it was England's captain, Philip Burgess, who scored in overtime to win the game.
Sevens can do that. Its speed is one of the many qualities that make it so suitable for a multi-sport tournament, along with its simplicity, spectacularity and popularity with corporate sponsors. Like T20 cricket, sSevens cuts away a lot of the aspects that the connoisseurs like and leaves behind the bits that casual fans love.
The IOC, and possibly the IRB, would probably be even happier if they could make the game still more appealing to the general public by getting some famous names involved – other than Billy Ocean, whose son was playing here for Barbados (yes, the going got tough, no, the tough did not get going – they shipped 248 points in five games) – more the likes of Stuart Hogg and Sean Lamont, two of the more marketable Scottish players, who were both in the squad here. It will be interesting to see how many more stars from the 15-a-side game are tempted to switch across and join the specialists in the run-up to Rio.
Any who do will find it harder to adjust than Jonah Lomu, Christian Cullen and David Campese did when they turned out for sevens' debuts at the Games at Kuala Lumpur in 1998. These days there is little to choose between the top teams, whose players are all honed by their experiences on the world sevens circuit. Samoa, Kenya and Canada are all strong sides and, minnows aside, most of the teams here seemed capable of beating each other – with one exception. The All Blacks had become the closest thing to an irresistible force in all of sport. Going into the final their record in the Commonwealth Games read played 30, won 30. And then they met South Africa and the superb Senatla.

With New England's recent heatwave, residential swimming pools have been a topical subject among our friends and clients. Not only do they offer convenient, inviting relief from the summer heat, they also provide homeowners with a focal point for outdoor living and entertaining.
There are myriad options for pool design, and we take our cues from several sources. Because the pool is an extension of the home, we first consider the building's architectural character. We then look at the outdoor topography for any space restrictions, and whether the area lends itself to a certain shape or design. If we envision a more organic feel, the pool may take on a free-form shape to blend with the outdoor environment. Alternately, if the space calls for a more traditional or sleek look, we may recommend a rectangular design.
When appropriate, we may also include an infinity design where the water flows freely over the edges. These vanishing edges give the visual impression that the pool has no boundaries – or is magically connected to the nearby ocean.
If the homeowner has an extended family with children or grandparents, we often design the pool with a wide entry and gentle pitch for easy access.
For all designs, we recommend using gunite for its exceptional versatility. Gunite is a mixture of sand and cement shot through a hose and does not produce seams like traditional, poured concrete.
No matter the size or shape of the pool, it is important to create an inviting common gathering space to be enjoyed day or night. That means judicious consideration of hardscaping, lighting, and congregation areas. To merge the indoor and outdoor living space, we use bluestone edges or coping to blend in with the adjacent patio or terrace.
We also carefully select the pool's lighting, which sets an important tone, particularly in the evening. Including fun and welcoming gathering spots – such as hot tubs and fire pits – helps transform the pool area into the optimal summer gathering space.
Water features are also meaningful elements – both aesthetically and from a functional standpoint. For example, within an urban setting or dense courtyard, the soothing sounds of waterfalls or jet sprays help create a sense of relaxation and privacy.
A well-designed pool area can transform any outdoor living space into a summer oasis. Whether lounging our entertaining, a pool and its surrounding outdoor space provide homeowners with a wonderful sensory experience – and a welcome relief from the summer heat.

Kia Carnival MPV Is Coming To India To Challenge Toyota Innova
Measuring above 5 meters in length, the Carnival will be significantly bigger than the Toyota Innova Crysta.
We informed you earlier that Kia Motors is considering the Grand Carnival MPV for the Indian market. According to AutoCarIndia, the big MPV will be a part of Kia's India line-up by 2020. For people not in the known, Kia had showcased the Carnival MPV at the 2018 Delhi Auto Expo where it received positive response from visitors. In fact, Kia Motors believes that the MPV could achieve over 1000 units monthly sales in India.
This 5-door premium MPV is available in multiple seating configurations – seven, eight, nine and eleven -in global markets. For Indian market, Kia is likely to launch the seven-seat version with focus mostly on middle-seat comfort. Speaking to ACI, Sun Wook Hwang, senior general manager, marketing and PR, Kia Motors India, said, "In India, buyers are mainly chauffeur-driven. In the US and domestic market, there are many luxury features for the driver and co-driver. (For India) We want to setup luxury features in the second row, like a business-class seat." In global markets, the Kia Carnival also gets captain seats for the middle row with retractable footrests. It is expected that the same variant could arrive in India as well.
Measuring above 5 meters in length, the Carnival will be significantly bigger than the Toyota Innova Crysta. While the Korean MPV is 5,115mm long, 1,985mm wide and 1,735mm in height, the Japanese counterpart is 4,735mm in length, 1,830mm in width and 1,795mm in height. The report further suggests that the Carnival would cost around Rs 2-3 lakh more than the Innova Crysta. The Innova cost around Rs 19 lakh on-road, while the Carnival could be priced around Rs 22 lakh. Moreover, the Korean MPV will be loaded with several high-end tech features like dual sunroof, 3-zone climate control, multiple airbags and multiple USB charging ports. Also See – Kia Carnival MPV – What To Expect?
In international markets, the Kia Carnival MPV is available with two engine options – 2.2-litre turbocharged diesel and Lambda II 3.3 MPI petrol. India-spec model will come with the turbocharged diesel engine that produces 196bhp and 441Nm of torque; however, the final spec could be different. Before Carnival, Kia will launch a 5-seater premium SUV based on the SP concept and a sub-4 meter SUV on the new Santro's platform.

Hydro Extrusions is a world leader in producing innovative aluminium solutions with net sales worth around 43 billion NOK. The company employs 23,000 people worldwide in more than 40 countries and is headquartered in Oslo, Norway.
Chronologic's relationship with Hydro started in 2000 with what was then Sapa Group, a partnership between Hydro ASA and Orkla ASA. In July 2017 Hydro bought out Orkla ASA's share and brought Sapa into Hydro Extrusions.
In the UK, the Hydro Extruded Solutions division includes Hydro Components UK and Hydro Extrusion UK which employ 1,300 staff across 6 locations.
Hydro design and manufacture extruded aluminium products used in a wide range of industries including construction, automotive and transportation.
As well as manufacturing they are also committed to recycling. The remelt plant in Tibshelf, Derbyshire takes in waste aluminium created by their other plants and produces 19,000 tonnes of high quality extrusion billet a year.
Our workforce management system is used on a number of their UK sites.
Delivering value through long term relationships
The Chronologic Workforce Management System collects and processes time and attendance data using RFID proximity terminals and fobs for clocking in.
Chronologic's relationship with what was then Sapa started in 2000, when we acquired a company that had previously provided a division of Sapa with a system. We continued to provide system extensions and support for a number of years until a reorganisation at Sapa led to an alternative system being put in place.
After further reorganisations and acquisitions, Sapa's time and attendance needs had moved on, they now required a more sophisticated and intelligent system. We were asked back in to quote for a solution, for the now much larger organisation.
The Chronologic team successfully implemented the new system and since then several new sites have been added as Sapa continued to acquire more companies. The Tibshelf plant for example, employs 160 people who use 3 clocking in terminals. The Rotherham site with 105 employees has 2 terminals; 2 sites in Newcastle have 4 terminals installed for 113 employees.
Faster payroll preparation
The workforce management solution provided for Hydro includes the ability to export the payroll hours, including shift allowances, for direct import into the Earnie payroll system. The flexibility of the Chronologic system enabled this to be achieved easily.
Automating the processing of payroll data has saved many hours which the manual keying in of payroll data had previously taken, as well as virtually eliminating any calculation or transcription errors.
Tailored to an organisation's needs
One of the major benefits to Hydro Extruded Solutions of our workforce management system is the ease with which it can be tailored in-house to accommodate shift changes for example.
The easy reporting and transparency of operation has made the continued use of the system and extension to the new sites the obvious way forward.

Zakat Foundation of America employees and volunteers attended and completed SkyRise Chicago, a charity event in which participants climb all flights of stairs in the Willis Tower.
The event, for which Zakat Foundation was one of the sponsors, raised money for the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab. The Lab, formerly the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago (RIC), is the global leader in physical medicine and rehabilitation and has been ranked the "No. 1 Rehabilitation Hospital in America" by U.S. News & World Report every year since 1991.
Upon opening in March 2017, the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab became the first-ever "translational" research hospital in which clinicians, scientists, innovators and technologists work together in the same space, surrounding patients, discovering new approaches and applying (or "translating") research real time.
Supporting the AbilityLab through SkyRise Chicago is one of the ways Zakat Foundation contributes to improving health and wellness in the United States and abroad.

A tourist attraction in Northumberland which has fought a lengthy battle for signs to draw in visitors looks set to be knocked back again.
The Barn at Beal near Holy Island has sought since 2008 to be allowed to have signs in an effort to increase the number of people visiting, with two applications and two planning appeals knocked back.
Tomorrow night, county councillors are being recommended to refuse the attraction's third bid, despite support from local councillors and residents, amid claims they would pose a safety risk and be an "intrusive addition to an otherwise natural landscape."
The attraction, run by Beal farmer Rod Smith and based on the road to Holy Island, aims to give visitors an insight into the farming industry.
In 2008, Mr Smith applied to the now defunct Berwick Borough Council for permission for roadside sides on his own land.
With the council dragging its heels on making a decision, the farmer went ahead and put the signs up, not wanting to miss out on visitors over the tourist season.
That November, the council rejected the attraction's proposal, although Mr Smith refused to take the signs down. An appeal was lodged but dismissed, with the farmer having to remove them.
The farmer was later refused retrospective planning permission for a sign in a cart at the side of the A1 by Northumberland County Council, sparking another appeal. Again he lost.
Mr Smith's third bid seeks advertisement consent for three signs on the A1.
Kyloe Parish Council has raised no objection and according to county council papers "would like to see this application approved."
The same report adds: It is a business which serves both locals and tourism. These are well designed signs to direct people to
the Barn at Beal."
A further ten letters of support have been lodged with the county council, with their authors saying the signs are well designed and in keeping with the area, claiming the attraction provides employment for local people and supports local tourism.
They furthermore say the signs would not compromise road safety or be distracting for drivers but would improve safety by clearly directing drivers.
County council highways officers have raised no objections.
However, the Highways Agency has objected to one of the signs, claiming it "would be a safety concern and un-necessary."
Planning officers are recommending refusal of the application on the basis that two of the signs would "substantially harm the amenity of the area through being an intrusive addition to an otherwise natural landscape."
They also say one of the signs would "substantially harm public safety through creating a distraction for drivers on the A1 Trunk Road."
The council's North area planning committee will decide the application tomorrow night.
Mr Smith declined to comment ahead of the meeting.

f/b-EVAR, still far from EVAR
Increased awareness of risks associated with radiation exposure to surgical staff challenge current endovascular methods for treatment of complicated aortic aneurysms.
A retrospective cohort study of 63 EVAR and 63 f/b-EVAR from 2012-2015 at Uppsala University shows that f/b-EVAR procedures are far more complex than conventional EVAR.
The study result shows a remarkably linear relation between number of branched vessel catheterisations and parameters such as use of fluoroscopy, blood-loss, need for intensive care, and anaesthesia and procedure duration. For example, a complete two-vessel f-EVAR lasts on average for 359 minutes (5h 59min), uses 72 minutes of fluoroscopy, and has a total blood loss of 1100ml. Each additional branch catheterisation equals an average of another 98 minutes (1h 38min) procedure duration, 27 minutes of fluoroscopy and 400ml of blood loss.
More about this and the LGF approach to reduce the f/b-EVAR challenges will be presented at the Veith Symposium in New York. Wednesday the 15th of November at 10:42, session 41 in the Trianon Ballroom Hilton Hotel.

As humans societies have evolved from hunter-gatherers into civilized societies, there have been substantial changes in relations between men and women, with perhaps one of a few remaining biological constants being that both adult women and men must have sexual intercourse for human procreation to happen.
Humans have been compared to other species in terms of sexual behavior.
New types of relationships formed; it was possible for people to live together without marrying and without children.
Generally, during much of recorded history of humans in civilization, and into the Middle Ages in Europe, weddings were seen as business arrangements between families, while romance was something that happened outside of marriage discreetly, such as covert meetings.These people will have dates on a regular basis, and they may or may not be having sexual relations.
