National Payments Plan (NPP) - 'e-Day' – 19th September 2014
The National Payments Plan (NPP) was launched in April 2013 and aims at making savings of €1bn annually to the Irish economy by increasing the use of electronic forms of payment such as debit cards and electronic banking. Ireland continues to rely heavily on cash and other paper payment instruments, and lags significantly behind our European peers in the use of more efficient electronic payment instruments. Increased use of more efficient payment methods would be expected to lead to increased competitiveness, efficiency and security.
e-Day, set for the 19th of September 2014, is the date from which Government Departments, Local Authorities and State Agencies will no longer use cheques in their dealings with businesses. According to the NPP, the particular focus of e-Day is to encourage SMEs to migrate from cheque usage as they are either issuers or receivers of more than 60% of all cheques in Ireland. A shift from cheques to electronic as a preferred method of payment will result in reduced costs and improved cash-flow for the overall business sector.
The e-Day cheque reduction initiative is one of the recommendations contained in the National Payments Plan.

Changes in Condom Use within Adolescents' Relationships: Demographic and Relational Factors and Self-Reported Motivations for Change
Christine M. Flanigan, Bowling Green State University
Wendy D. Manning, Bowling Green State University
Peggy C. Giordano, Bowling Green State University
Monica A. Longmore, Bowling Green State University
Ku, Sonenstein, and Pleck's (1994) "sawtooth hypothesis" posits that condom use decreases within a relationship, but then increases again at the start of a new relationship. Researchers typically measure change in condom use over time by comparing condom use at first sex and most recent sex. We rely on a direct measure that asks respondents about the change in condom use over the course of their relationship. Using the Toledo Adolescent Relationships Study to study recent dating relationships (N=522), we find 16% reported an increase, 33% reported a decrease, and 50% reported that their condom use stayed the same. We use multinomial logistic regression to compare groups reporting these three patterns of condom use, with demographic and relational factors as predictors. In addition, we will analyze self-reported reasons for change in condom use.

Samsung looks to innovative S9 camera to energize Galaxy S smartphone salesFebruary 25, 2018Samsung is packing its main innovative push into the cameras of its latest flagship Galaxy S devices. With the new super slow motion video capture, Samsung has improved on previous industry attempts to commercialize this feature. The Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus are strong handset designs which evolve from 2017's excellent S8. They are markedly different in camera quality and display size from the two to three year old smartphones potential customers own now which should boost upgrades. However, consumers may delay purchase because of rising flagship prices.
Samsung re-launches its signature innovation brand with Note 8 smartphoneAugust 23, 2017The Galaxy Note 8 demonstrates Samsung's confidence in its design expertise because of the strong similarities between the Note 8 and the Galaxy S8 and S8+. Samsung's decision to launch the Note across all regions means the Note 8 should be the most successful Note smartphone for at least three years. IHS Markit expects the Note 8 Bill of Materials (BOM) cost will exceed those of all previous generations of Note models from Samsung.
Samsung seeks to reestablish its reputation for innovation with "infinity display" Galaxy S8March 29, 2017The S8 and S8+ are visibly differentiated smartphones because of their large Samsung displays, tiny bezels, and fast chipsets which all play to Samsung group's competitive strengths. Samsung's initial Bixby AI implementation falls short of its goal of being a comprehensive AI assistant because of weak app integration and limited voice compatibility. Provided Samsung can manufacture sufficient volumes of S8 and S8 + smartphones, and has no new reliability issues, the S8 will be a success for Samsung. The strong industrial design will support the Samsung brand and provide a foundation for Samsung's ecosystem ambitions with VR, Bixby AI, and enterprise offerings.
Samsung S7 range evolution, not revolution, is at the heart of improved 2016 revenuesJuly 28, 2016Samsung announced its Q1'16 earnings results today, 50.94 trillion KRW revenue and 8.14 trillion KRW operating profit which makes 16.0% operating margin rate. The handset business of Samsung has been showing constant growth in unit volumes. However, both revenue and operating profit have declined. Mobile division which includes handset business unit recorded 26.07 trillion KRW in revenue. Operating profit of IM(IT and Mobile) group recorded 4.32 trillion KRW, which makes 16.3% operating margin. This is the highest operating margin since Q3'14.
MWC 2016: Smartphone and Smart Accessory AnalysisMarch 17, 2016At MWC 2016, the major leading smartphone makers launched new flagship smartphones as well as a new range of VR 360 degree smart accessory cameras. Including, Samsung's Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge; Xiaomi Mi5; and notably LG's G5 with a modular expansion capability; and Alcatel's Idol 4S which is bundled with a VR headset .Subscribers Only
LG's modular G5 smartphone & smart accessories will energize channel partners with new profit opportunitiesFebruary 21, 2016IHS believes LG must take radical steps such as these to make its smartphone business stand out, because unless LG succeeds with the G5, VR camera and smart accessories, on LG's old trajectory IHS forecasted LG's smartphone shipments would decline 3% in 2016. Key to LG's differentiation will be its modular smartphone hardware, not VR. No other current smartphone maker has anything similar. Importantly, the modular smart accessories offer LG ways to generate profits adjacent to the commoditizing smartphone market.
Samsung's Gear 360 VR camera will be a halo product which will boost Galaxy S7 smartphone salesFebruary 21, 2016Gear 360 is a marketing vehicle for the Galaxy S7, as well as Samsung's Gear VR headset. IHS expects Samsung smartphones will outsell the Gear 360 by over one thousand times this year. In a mature smartphone market, smartphone makers compete with their older selves to drive consumers to upgrade their existing smartphones.
Mid and Low-end Smartphone drove the shipment growth of SamsungNovember 02, 2015Samsung grew revenue and profit in Q3 2015 on the back of improving mid and low end smartphone shipments. M Business unit which includes smartphone business posted 26.61 trillion Korean won (KRW) revenue in Q3'15. This is up 8% YoY and 2% QoQ. Operating profit was 2.4 trillion KRW, which reflects 9% of margin rate.Subscribers Only
Orange's new smartphone will drive 4G adoption in EuropeSeptember 02, 2015Mobile operator Orange has launched a range of new smartphone aimed at lowering the barrier to entry to 4G.

Samsung's long awaited Tizen launch will not ruffle Google's feathersJanuary 16, 2015Samsung is finally launching a smartphone powered by its homemade operating system, Tizen. Samsung is launching the Z1 exclusively in India. Unusually for an OS launch product, the Z1 does not feature high-end hardware to show off the new software. Despite the launch, IHS does not believe that Tizen will make a significant impact on the smartphone market. It is much more likely that Tizen's impact will be felt in the wearables market.Subscribers Only
Samsung on the defensive embarks on cost cutting initiativesNovember 19, 2014Samsung has announced two moves aimed at reducing its cost base as it struggles to maintain its level of profitability and its market share. Samsung is moving more manufacturing to Vietnam and reducing the number of different devices in its portfolio next year. Samsung has come under intense pressure from low cost smartphone brands such as Xiaomi and Micromax in emerging markets which has stalled its growth.Subscribers Only
Sony is in stuck in the "Smartphone Catch-22", which all OEMs must navigateSeptember 18, 2014Japanese consumer electronics manufacturer Sony drastically lowered its financial outlook, increasing the loss it expects to make this financial year to 230 billion yen (approximately $2.15bn or €1.65bn). This is an increase of 180bn yen (approximately $1.67bn or €1.3bn) and Sony attributed the entire change to its mobile business unit. Sony now finds itself stuck in a "catch-22" situation where the prospects of it being successful at either the high-end of the smartphone market or the low-end are slim.Subscribers Only
Samsung's first Tizen smartphone is the first step to an Android divorceJune 13, 2014Samsung launched the Samsung Z smartphone in Russia. While Samsung's first Tizen smartphone is small scale, the move demonstrates how Samsung is seeking to reduce its dependency on Android. There are numerous challenges for Samsung, not least creating an app ecosystem which makes Tizen a compelling smartphone.


text: The Chamber joined Supervisor London Breed, City Attorney Dennis Herrera and other civic leaders Wednesday to rally against graffiti and the problems it poses for local businesses. Graffiti costs taxpayers nearly $20 million per year, and Supervisor London Breed introduced legislation to overhaul the city's graffiti policies, which currently penalize the victims rather than the vandals. "Graffiti is particularly harmful to local business and property owners that strive to maintain clean storefronts and whom are required to remove graffiti within 30 days or face fines," said Chamber Public Policy Director and San Francisco Graffiti Advisory Board Member Dee Dee Workman.

Do you want to become a data scientist, a data engineer or an analytics manager? Or do you want to be immersed in statistics, in mathematics, and in computer science?
Then Project SPARTA could open the door to endless opportunities for you.
What is Project SPARTA, you may ask? Well, the Development Academy of the Philippines (DAP) in partnership with the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) has come up with a project dubbed, "Smarter Philippines Through Data Analytics R&D, Training and Adoption" or SPARTA.
According to , Project SPARTA aims to establish the necessary online education, research and development mechanisms and infrastructure to develop the industry of data science and analytics and to mainstream it in both the private and public sectors.
Remember the movie of 300 men who went against hordes and hordes of enemies to defend their homeland from invaders? In some ways, this movie is kind of similar to the DAP-DOST project.
Like the Spartans in the movie, who went through rigorous training in order to achieve their military prowess and discipline, Project SPARTA also aims to capacitate at least 30,000 Filipinos in the fields of data science and analytics.
Even the official logo of Project SPARTA is quite similar to that of the shield carried by the heroes in the movie.
During Project SPARTA's grand launch on Monday at the Green Sun Hotel in Makati City, Science and Technology Secretary Fortunato Dela Pena said they would initially prioritize to train people from government, the academe, and those from the business process outsourcing or BPO who might be affected by the emergence of artificial intelligence.
The project would run for three years, with a total budget of P50.84 million. The DAP has been tapped to carry out the training to build competency in data analytics.
To help you in this noble endeavor of utilizing data-driven technologies for the good of the country, are the DOST's Philippine Council for Industry, Energy, and Emerging Technology Research and Development (DOST-PCIERD), data science powerhouse and development partner Analytics Association of the Philippines, and online learning platform Coursebank.
Project SPARTA scholars can take courses on various fields of data science and analytics through learning pathways. Courses include learnings to become a data associate, a data steward, a data engineer, a data scientist, a data analyst, and an analytics manager.
Just register and apply for a scholarship by visiting here. https://coursebank.ph/login?next=/sparta/register/
After logging into your Coursebank account, applicants can apply to the SPARTA scholarship through the "SPARTA" link in the navigation bar at the top of any Coursebank page or through the "SPARTA Profile" link in their user menu.
Just explore each pathway and the courses available for enrollment.
Don't worry, because for scholars, it is free. Project SPARTA is a fully funded project by the partners. After completing each course and learning pathway, you get a certificate of completion from DAP.
To know more, just visit Project SPARTA's official site. https://sparta.dap.edu.ph/
In today's local and global markets, the most valuable resource is no longer oil, but data. Research shows a foreseen demand of data science and analytics workers in the Philippines in the coming years. The Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) projects that 340,880 data science and analytics or DSA workers will be needed in the Philippines alone by 2022.
"Data can fast-track Philippine growth, in every aspect. In the ease of doing business, for instance, we could do many things using data," Dela Pena said.
He also encouraged those who would take and finish the courses to share their knowledge and what they have learned back with the data science community for an even accelerated pace of nation-building. After all, data science as a very promising field depends on knowledge-sharing. (PIA NCR)

Sonya Wadsworth, 41, (pictured outside Manchester Magistrates' Court yesterday) deliberately let her dog Tyson off the lead and encouraged it to bite Varun Ditta
A woman who trained her Staffordshire Terrier as a 'weapon' to maul an Asian shopkeeper during a racist attack has been ordered to pay him £150 in compensation.
Sonya Wadsworth, 41, deliberately let her dog Tyson off the lead and encouraged it to bite Varun Ditta when she was confronted for putting children's sweets in her coat pocket.
The animal sank its teeth into Mr Ditta's thigh as Wadsworth laughed and said: 'Haha you can't do anything to me. My dog will bite you, P***. Go home.'
She also called him a 'P*** b******,' manhandled Mr Ditta's work colleague and said: 'What are you doing here? Go back to your own country.'
Mr Ditta was wearing thick jeans but suffered bite marks on his left leg as a result of the attack
Later when asked about the attack, Wadsworth from Wythenshawe, Manchester, claimed the animal was acting in 'self-defence' and added: 'My dog was just scared at seeing his mummy assaulted.'
Tyson has died since the attack on August 28 last year.
At Manchester Magistrates' Court, Wadsworth was also ordered to complete 300 hours unpaid work after being convicted of racially aggravated common assault, racially aggravated harassment and having a dog dangerously out of control.
She was also ordered to pay costs of £620.
The animal (right) sank its teeth into Mr Ditta's thigh as Wadsworth (left) laughed and said: 'Haha you can't do anything to me. My dog will bite you, P***. Go home'
The incident happened at 3pm when Mr Ditta, known usually as Jimmy, and his colleague Mansoor Wahid who is nicknamed Max were working at the Around A Pound Plus store in Wythenshawe.
Mr Ditta said: 'I was working at the back of the shop putting drinks on the shelves whilst Max was on the tills.
'I started to hear Max and Sonya arguing with each other because she did some shoplifting.
'When I heard this I came toward them and asked what happened but she was using abusive language to Max. She was saying 'you are a P***. What are you doing here? Go back to your own country.'
'Max was saying she had been shoplifting. He was saying she had to pay or put the items back but she was being aggressive.'
Wadsworth took sweets out of her pocket and threw them at Mr Wahid, according to Mr Ditta.
'She was being very aggressive and using abusive words and calling us 'P***s',' he said.
'Max kept saying 'stop this Sonya. I don't need a fight with you. Just go home now'.'
Later when asked about the attack, Wadsworth from Wythenshawe, Manchester, claimed the the dog was acting in 'self-defence' and added: 'My dog was just scared at seeing his mummy assaulted
Mr Wahid then came around from behind the counter and Wadsworth grabbed him by the collar of his shirt.
'She had a dog which was tied to a pole outside the shop and she unleashed it,' he said. 'The dog was definitely trained and she was holding the lead of the dog and using it as a weapon.
'The dog was always very aggressive. When customers came into the shop they mentioned the dog being aggressive outside. It would bark at customers as they came in the shop.
'This was a dangerous dog and it was making me and Max feel that it was about to attack. Sonya was laughing and encouraging the dog to bite me.
Tyson has died since the attack on August 28 last year
'I think the dog was trained and letting it go and then pulling it back by the lead then letting it go again meant 'go and bite him'.'
He continued: 'The dog bit me on the left thigh. I was wearing thick jeans and I've still got a deep bite mark from it. I was outside the shop asking her to go home. She was drunk that day and I just wanted her to leave.
'She was laughing 'Haha, you can't do anything to me my dog will bite you - P*** go home'. I was just thinking 'why is she doing this?' It made me upset and fearful.'
Wadsworth denied wrongdoing. A probation report read to the court said: 'She has occupied her time since this incident in terms of her doing a lot of voluntary work.
'She spoke of setting up a gardening business, attending college and completing a plumbing and gas qualification.'
Defence lawyer Nnamdi Inegbo said in mitigation: 'Sonya still finds it difficult even at this late stage to accept your colleagues findings but never the less she will respect and appreciate the predicament she finds herself in.
'The dog is no longer with us. I believe it had a brain tumour therefore it was felt to put him out of pain was in everyone's best interest and it was put to sleep.
'She is now using her time productively using her time to engage with community with volunteer work. There's another side to Sonya.
'She would say the dog was acting somewhat strangely leading up to what happened.
'Ultimately she did not have full control as much as she would have liked with the dog.'

The Boarshurst Band will be undertaking a special Whit Friday Challenge this year as they look to help raise funds for the 11 individual villages that host a contest on the Saddleworth circuit.
MD James Garlick told 4BR: "We were saddened to here that some of the villages were struggling to find the money to run their events and offer prize money. This seemed a great way after our success of our innovative 'Jingle Bells Challenge' to help raise some funds for those contests.
Thousands of musicians will descend on Saddleworth in the 14th June, so we hope they will dig deep into their pockets and help the Saddleworth Area keep this amazing tradition going for many years to come."
High costs
James told 4BR that he was informed that the costs associated with running the famous contests has increased dramatically in the past few years, with the Greenfield contest alone reportedly costing around £9,000 to stage.
He added: "This event has taken place every year for over 100 years with 119 brass bands taking part last year — coming from all around the world.
There are 11 contests in total and the total prize money from them is £31,580 — money that is a huge benefit and lifeline to competitors. All that and its free!"
All you have to do
For the Whit Friday Challenge all you have to do is post a video of you, your band, ensemble or group playing a march of your choice.
James said: "The video can be an old or new production and you have to do is share your post far and wide, challenge 3 of your friends and please, please donate at least £5 to the Whit Friday Challenge GoFundMe page (don't forget to share the link to those that you challenge).
Let's show everyone what we can do when we work together: All donations will be spread equally amongst the 11 Saddleworth Contests!"

Choosing the best cosmetic dentist for you and your family will ensure that you will always get excellent results and experience on all your procedures. Dentists are all trained vigorously for several years and they have all prepared for all their patient's needs. Although this is already a given, you still need to check which is the best dentist for you based on the type of procedure you require. Now, when looking for your permanent dentist, here are a few tips that you can consider that will help you land yourself a good dentist and dental clinic.
Get referrals - Referrals are much like recommendations. If your friends and family recommend a specific dentist when you ask them for referrals, you can be sure that they can vouch for the dentist's performance and services. Upon getting the name, you can do a background check through the dentist's website or you can even go the office and schedule a consultation.
The Right Services for You - Check and research for the services offered by the dentist. If possible, it would be best to get a dentist that can offer more as this will mean that you will only need this dentist for all the possible procedures you may have in the future.
Results and Testimonials - Reviews and testimonials are important factors when choosing your dentist. If other people can say something good about the dentist or their experience, this means that you can do to. Aside from reading review and client feedback, you can also look at before and after pictures or procedures they have done.
Check Their Credentials - If you have the name of the dentist that you'd like to research about, then you can use it to check if they have attended school together with the professional organizations they are a part of.
Make a Consultation Appointment - As part of your dentist shortlisting, you need to visit the actual dental office and schedule a consultation. Through consultation, you will understand the services they offer and basically what you will need as their patient.
Make Sure You're Comfortable - Your comfortability should be a priority when looking for your dentist. If you feel that you are being taken cared for properly by the dentist and his or her staff, this is a good indication that you have a nice dental future with them.

Welcoming new and familiar smiles.
It's important for your children to receive proper dental care to ensure they grow up with healthy and strong teeth. They'll also get into the habit of brushing and flossing their own teeth, which will reduce their risk of cavities and tooth decay.
Call Donetta to make a dentist appointment for your child:
Fluoride treatments
Nitrous oxide (laughing gas)
Going to the dentist can be a scary experience for some children. Our caring staff wants your child to feel at home when they visit us, which is why we strive to provide a comfortable atmosphere in our office.
If your child is afraid of having dental work done, we can help calm their nerves through the use of nitrous oxide, or laughing gas. This way they can have a bright smile without feeling scared.

3 Jan 2018: Economy and SME Financing News
The latest data from EDB showed that Singapore's factory output rose 5.3% in Nov 2017 on a yoy basis. Most segments recorded a rise in their outputs, like the electronics manufacturing which has been the main driver of growth for the economy in 2017. Although the growth rate was under the 8.1% increase expected by economists, this was mainly attributed to a fall in biomedical manufacturing output which is typically volatile. If biomedical manufacturing output was excluded, the growth rate would have been 13.9%.
The growth sectors were the semiconductors, computer peripherals and infocomms, consumer electronics, precision engineering segments. The chemicals cluster also recorded growth. Besides biomedical manufacturing, the land transport and marine and offshore engineering segments also did poorly.
The relevant report can be found at the website of the Economic Development Board (EDB), Singapore.
The EDB report showed that the growth of the manufacturing sector had been strong in 2017. Is your SME enjoying the momentum of the expansion in factory output? Are you anticipating more customer orders, preparing for more production and/or consume more raw materials? We certainly hope that is the case for your SME. Maybe you are thinking about financing options like working capital loans or invoice financing/factoring. We will be glad to have a discussion with you on the options for simple and affordable financing for your SME.
At IFS Capital Limited, we understand that all businesses are different in their needs and characteristics. That is why we are happy to explore financing options that meet the unique needs of your SME.
Why not drop us a note by clicking this form here and we can discuss this in further detail with you.

Intense Warranty FAQ
Here are the warranty-related questions most frequently asked by Intense customers. If you can't find an answer to your question here, please get in touch with us at firstname.lastname@example.com or call 01454 550343.
How long is the Intense warranty?
- 5-year limited warranty on carbon frames (except Downhill frames)
- 3-year limited warranty on carbon Downhill frames
- 3-year limited warranty on XC and Trail aluminium frames
- 2-year limited warranty on aluminium Downhill and Freeride frames
- 1-year limited warranty on paintwork
Please note the above timeframes apply only to bike bought after 01/10/2015.
What's covered by the Intense warranty?
Intense products are warranted against defects in materials or workmanship from the day of purchase for the timelines listed above – for the original purchaser only. This means that we will repair, replace or refund (at our discretion) your Intense bike if, during normal use, an issue arises as a result of a manufacturing defect.
What's not covered by the Intense warranty?
The Intense warranty does not cover any defects due to damage caused by: accident; improper care; improper assembly; normal wear and tear; natural fading of colours and materials over time or with use; abrasion; abuse; alteration; collision; crash or misuse, including any use of the frame for riding conditions other than those specified for the frame by Intense Cycles.
The frame warranty is void if the bike's frame, fork or components are modified. The paint warranty is void if damage results from the use of strong solvents or adhesives on the frame.
Why isn't wear and tear covered under the warranty?
Simply put, we ride bikes enough to know that wear and tear is a way of life on the trails and that the scuffs and dinks our bikes take in pursuit of speed aren't due to manufacturing issues. While we understand the frustration of a new bike showing signs of wear, we prefer to think of this as adding to our bike's character.
Can I make a warranty claim regardless of where I bought my Intense bike?
The warranty is valid only on items purchased through the Intense Cycles UK website or an authorised Intense retailer and is available only to the original purchaser with a valid proof of purchase.
The warranty is not valid for customers purchasing from the UK but living in any country other than the UK and Ireland.
If you purchase your Intense bike abroad, or through a non-UK based retailer, you cannot make a warranty claim in the UK, even if the retailer is an authorised Intense dealer in its own country.
Intense does not warranty any purchases made through eBay, Amazon or other consumer resale sites.
How do I begin the warranty process?
All warranty claims for Intense products should be made via email using the procedure outlined below. Please refer to the information at the top of this page to help guide you through the warranty process.
Limited warranty exclusions and limitations
Components other than the Intense frame, such as handlebars, headsets, wheels, brakes, chains, cranks, pedals, gears, suspension components, derailleurs, seats, seatposts, bearings, etc., are covered by their respective manufacturers' warranties. To make a claim on a component please complete the Intense warranty claim form below.
The Intense Cycles Limited Warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, abuse, improper assembly, improper maintenance, alteration, collision, crash or misuse, including any use of the frame for riding conditions other than those specified for the frame by Intense Cycles. This warranty is void in its entirety by any modification of the frame, fork, or components.
Paint is covered for manufacturing defects one year from point of purchase. This does not include damage caused by strong solvents or adhesives used on the frame
This Intense Cycles Limited Warranty provides the sole remedy, and it replaces any warranty that might otherwise be implied or imposed by law or custom. All oral representations and all implied warranties, including but not limited to any warranty of fitness for a particular purpose, warranty of merchantability, or warranty created by course of dealing or usage of trade, are expressly disclaimed to the greatest extent permitted by law. If any implied warranties cannot be disclaimed, they shall last no longer than the term of the Limited Warranty stated above, and any remedy is limited to the repair or replacement of defective parts with those of equal or greater value at the sole discretion of Intense Cycles.
In no event shall Intense Cycles be held responsible for direct, indirect or consequential damages, including, without limitation, damages for personal injury, death, property damage, or economic losses, whether based on contract, warranty, negligence, product liability or any other theory. Warranty claims made outside the country of purchase may be subject to fees and different terms or restrictions. This Limited Warranty gives you specific legal rights. Some countries and states do not allow limits to be imposed on the term of an implied warranty or upon consequential damages, and the parties' rights may vary from country to country and from state to state.
Intense Cycles is not responsible for any damages to you or others arising from riding, transporting or other use of your bicycle. In the event that your frame breaks or malfunctions, Intense Cycles shall have no liability or obligation beyond the repair or replacement of your frame pursuant to the terms outlined in the warranty.
Product Life Cycle
Bicycles are not indestructible, and every Intense frameset has a useful product life cycle. The length of that useful product life cycle will vary depending on the construction and the materials of the frameset, maintenance and care the frameset receives, and the amount and type of use the frameset is subject to over its life. The more you ride – and the harder you ride – the more frequently you should have your bicycle professionally inspected and maintained. Read your owner's manual for recommended service intervals and procedures.
Intense recommends that a competent bike technician inspects the frame for stress and other perils at least annually, as well as any time the bike has been involved in a crash or subjected to significant loads, even if no damage is apparent. Crashes, overloads and repeated stresses can cause small fractures and other hidden damage that may lead to catastrophic failure. Signs of an impending frame failure may be apparent in the form of cracks, fracture lines, deformation, dents, squeaks and other indicators of abnormality, but in some cases damage cannot be seen, felt or heard. Safety checks are important to prevent accidents, injuries and failure of an Intense frameset. Never ride on a bicycle that is damaged or in need of maintenance, repair or adjustment. A broken or misadjusted part can cause stress and eventual failure of that part or other parts. For example, a single loose or broken spoke can lead to wheel failure and a catastrophic crash.
Cycling is a Dangerous Activity
All forms of cycling present inherent risks of injury that the rider must assume, and a bicycle cannot protect you in an accident. Always wear a helmet and when needed other protective gear. Do not ride in the dark or during limited visibility without proper lights. Some countries, states or cities have specific requirements for lights and other equipment. Check before travelling with your bicycle. You must make your own decisions about your skills and the level of risk you are willing to confront. Do not ride beyond your ability or the designated limits of your bicycle. If you are not sure of the limits or condition of your bicycle, emails us at firstname.lastname@example.com or call 01454 550343.

Congress activists protest against government apathy towards farmers in Madhya PradeshBy ANI
Sunday, February 13, 2011
BHOPAL - Activists of the Congress party staged a demonstration in Bhopal on Sunday to protest against the neglect of farmers by the state government.
Farmers and agriculturalists in Madhya Pradesh have in the past few months been caught in an inescapable whirlpool of drought conditions, rising prices and abject poverty.
Consequently, farmer suicides in the region have gone up.
Shouting slogans, hundreds of protestors took to the streets of Bhopal demanding 'justice' for the pitiable plight of farmers in the region.
"We are protesting the farce that is being done by the state government with regard to the farmers' issue. Hundreds of farmers have committed suicide till now. They are not being given adequate compensation. Somebody with huge tracts of land is being given merely Rs 500," said P.C. Sharma, former Congress legislator of Madhya Pradesh.
"Till now, Rs. 450crores have been released by the Central government to resolve the issue. But this money is not being channeled among the farmers. Now, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Chouhan is sitting on a fast to demand more money. Can't a government, with an overdraft of Rs.62,000 crores distribute Rs.2000 crores among the farmers?" he added.
Congress activists also alleged that government apathy was the root cause of the sharp hike observed in the number of farmer suicides.
A defiant Sharma further maintained that the Congress would continue their struggle for the rights of farmers.
"We will continue to protest against this farce. We will go to jail. But we will continue our struggle for the rights of farmers," Sharma said.
According to the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) of India, 8,360 farmers have committed suicide since 2005.
Madhya Pradesh is among the top five states in suicides by farmers.
Besides being stung by higher production costs due to inflation and lower profits, farmers have been facing a number of climatic and socio-economic problems in the region, including heavy rainfall, harassment by moneylenders, inability to repay debts following crop loss, and water scarcity, among others.

Urban agriculture in shrinking American cities
Zhang, Chiyuan
MetadataShow full item record
Historically, community gardens have served to provide food during wartime or periods of economic depression. Today, in addition to fresh and healthy produce, community gardens provide many other economical, social and environmental benefits. Many industrial cities have suffered severe damage to their economic base and lost at least 20 percent of their residents since half a century ago. Shrinking cities have become an issue that challenges the conventional planning orthodoxies assuming a constant-growth reality that no longer existed. There is a general understanding of how urban agriculture can benefit participants, neighborhoods, and communities. However, there are not many studies that particularly focus on urban agriculture and its association with stabilizing and revitalizing neighborhoods in shrinking cities. The purpose of this article is to understand the motivations and justifications of establishing urban agriculture in shrinking cities and how urban agriculture is perceived as economic and social tools for revitalizing the neighborhoods and reshaping the cityscapes through comparative case studies of Detroit and Cleveland.

Vacationing with Thingbeard
So the nerd farm has been officially shuttered up of late for our traditional Halloween vacation. Which means we not only haven't had time to write anything, we've barely had time to read any funnybooks, either. Normally, we'd just post a picture with the headline "Gone Fishin'" or some such. But his week saw the release of a comic that made us so happy we had to at least say a few words on its behalf…
Fantastic Four: Grand Design 1
by Tom Scioli
First of all, this comic is awesome and DENSE. Scioli's working around a 25-panel grid (!), packing every page with as much information as it can hold.
It's insanity. The series works, ostensibly, along the same lines as Ed Piskor's recently-completed X-Men: Grand Design, but taking the idea even further. Scioli's making smart changes to the backstory that make the FF richer characters, and tying them into all of Jack Kirby's Marvel cosmology, dating back beyond prehistory into the very birth of the universe. It's great stuff, and normally I'd be more than happy to track all the tiny details he's incorporated, and how he's changed things around (like, he's made Johnny Storm more of a juvenile delinquent, and it's HIS idea to steal the rocket ship that sends them on their fateful journey through the Cosmic Rays).
But like I said, I'm on vacation.
So I'm not going to do that.
What I AM going to do, though, is direct your attention to one particular panel from the page above:
That's right. Tom Scioli has now put the nerd farm's personal favorite Fantastic Four gag into print.
Oh, I'm so happy.

Oil futures surged on Wednesday, after Russia said it was discussing the possibility of co-operation with OPEC, fanning hopes that a deal was in the works to reduce oversupply that sent prices the lowest levels in a dozen years last week, Reuters reported.

UGANDA: Are you buying air or land? Beware of conmen
'Buying air', or how not to invest in land in Uganda
KAMPALA, Uganda, April 6 (Thomson Reuters Foundation) – The sign is ubiquitous: six words that are painted on walls and homes across Uganda, like a national motto, from quiet banana groves to the frenetic capital Kampala.
"This plot is not for sale."
The words are as much to inform the unwary as they are to deter the conmen, who sometimes collude with land officials to obtain fake titles.
The sign is meant to ward off "quack brokers", said Vincent Kirabo, an ex-teacher turned businessman in Kampala. He is referring to people who sell land while the true owners are away, often using counterfeit titles.
"It has entered the language now," he said. "People call it 'buying air'."
Ten years ago, Kirabo returned from studying in Britain to find some of his land had been sold using forged documents, and had passed through the hands of several innocent buyers. The court case to reclaim his property is still dragging on.
That is why he painted a "not for sale" sign on the perimeter wall of another piece of his land in Kampala. He also hired a guard to sleep there.
Nearby, Rachel Namaganda scrubs cooking pots outside her tin-roofed house. The magic words, with a phone number, are scrawled next to her door too.
Namaganda usually sells banana pancakes in town. But, during a recent crackdown on vendors, she went back to her village. While there, she heard that her Kampala house was up for sale.
"That's why I wrote those words," she said, nodding at the door. "If someone knows that you are not around, they can sell your property."
Andrew Bashaija is the judge who heads the land division at the High Court. He told the Thomson Reuters Foundation that fraud is "rampant".
"Most of the cases we handle here – I can say 75 percent-plus – are fraud-related cases," he said. "We have instances where officers in the land registry, unfortunately, are involved in the same fraud."
He gave examples where titles were transferred rapidly between several people, passing land on to third parties and covering for the initial forgery.
"Sometimes there are two, three, four minutes in between those successive transfers," said Bashaija. "It raises red flags."
Other legal experts also suspect collusion between conmen and officials.
"When you look at the forged titles, sometimes it even has the seal of the land office," said George Musisi, a lawyer at the Foundation for Human Rights Initiative, a charity that offers legal aid services.
The authorities have taken some steps. The commissioner of land registration, who is suspended, is facing prosecution over claims that she registered land to the wrong owners in 2011.
And a public enquiry, which has spent a year probing land policies and practices, has heard numerous reports of fraud.
Dennis Obbo, a spokesman for the land ministry, said fake titles "come from outside the system,", although he conceded that on occasion agents would "collude with individuals within [the land offices]".
He said a computerized land registry had dramatically reduced fraud: 752,000 land titles have been entered into the system, with the process scheduled to complete in a year.
He said the government also plans to register land brokers, though no law is in place for that.
"Any person can become a broker in Uganda … They handle documents of clients that are worth billions and billions of shillings, yet we don't know them, they are not registered."
Fake land titles are one of the many tricks conmen use to dupe potential buyers, said Geoffrey Tumusiime, a broker. In some cases, conmen masquerade as elderly family members or pretend to be local officials to witness the transaction.
"He brings an old man and says this is my father. He makes an agreement, and when you come in you find this person is not the owner."
Disputes also arise when the landowner dies and family members squabble over the inheritance. Michael Wanyeera, a local council chairman in a poor part of Kampala, dealt with one such incident.
"One side said they didn't want the land to be sold, and the other one said that we want to sell it," he said.
Eventually some family members sold the land behind the others' backs.
And going to court, as Vincent Kirabo found, is a slow and costly process. In 2017, a judicial committee found there were 22,413 pending land cases, of which 6,669 had been in the court system for at least two years.
As pressure on land increases, especially in Kampala and surrounding districts, more Ugandans are painting "this plot is not for sale" on their property to protect it.
"This is the problem these days," said Wanyeera. "One plot has two land titles, three land titles, and you fail to know which is the real one."
"Those signposts that are written, they are written in fear." (Reporting by Liam Taylor, Editing by Robert Carmichael.

Heartstream by Tom Pollock
I took a break from the dystopian anthology I've been reading (Wastelands: The New Apocolypse edited by John Joseph Adams) to jump headfirst into this new YA thriller by Tom Pollock. I hadn't previously read anything by Tom but the premise sounded intriguing and I've been thirsting for a good thriller again already after cutting my teeth on A Good Girls Guide to Murder and then The Girl in Red a bit more recently (I'm also noticing a certain colour aesthetic it seems.) I'm already just under 200 pages through despite starting it just last night and I can't wait to see just where it goes.
What did you recently finish reading?
Queen of Air and Darkness by Cassandra Clare
I ended up really enjoying this despite the amount of time it took me to actually get through (6 months) it was worth it though and the audiobook being narrated by James Masters was a bonus. You can check out my spoiler-free review here.
The Paper and Hearts Society by Lucy Powrie
This was such a lovely sweet book, I found it a little predictable but enjoyed it no less for it. Heartwarming and lovely. Review coming soon.

If open/close or restrict access dates are set for a resource or activity and then the items are imported into a new course, the dates set in the previous course are kept. Ex: Teacher has full list of activities that have open and close dates. Some may have Restrict Access dates as well. Teacher wants to move all activities into next semester's course which starts six months after original course. Teacher imports content into new course. Teacher must go through to each individual activity and update open and close dates, restrict access dates, etc.
1. Add activities to course with open, close and restrict access dates
2. Create second course with a separate start date (ex: six months later)
3. Import activities into second course
4. Activities keep old open, close and restrict access dates even though they are in the past because second course has a start date that was six months later
Desired behavior: Option during import to have all dates (open, close, restrict access, etc.) update based off course start date of course importing into. This would be effecting resources with Restrict Access dates as well.
Old Forum discussion - https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=225779
Sidenote #1: I've had one crafty teacher who backups the course and edits XML file using a python script to update all the activity dates at once. Then re-packages and restores. It works for him but clearly he would prefer if it did it during normal import or restore.
Sidenote #2: I've seen and heard people talk about this in the past but wasn't able to find a tracker. If it's a duplicate, oops

text: snap! We kid, we kid; the Samsung SCH-C210's magnesium and fiberglass-reinforced body should be able to stand up to the best punishment we can toss at it. As you might recall, a candybar bearing this very form was officially announced at 3GSM as the Ultra Edition 5.9, but the difference here is that the SCH-C210 is a CDMA handset destined for Korea's own SK Telecom. Features include a 2 megapixel cam, Bluetooth, media player, built-in dictionary, and something called a "pop-pin touch keypad" that vibrates the phone ever so gently when the user presses a key as a means of feedback. Needless to say, we'll never see this particular variant of the Ultra Edition 5.9 in the US, but with any luck, we imagine we should be able to get our hands on the GSM version at some point.

Trump's OPEC tweets mix fear and delusion
Bloomberg News,
Trump Puts Price Pressure on OPEC Ahead of Meeting
There is a lot to unpack in U.S. President Donald Trump's latest missive on the complex subject of oil prices and restrictive commodity agreements:
First, there's the timing. I'm loath to read the president's Twitter habits like the entrails of some unfortunate creature. But it sure feels like he gets antsy about oil when prices move up sharply, especially in the vicinity of US$75 – US$80 a barrel:
That this has coincided with the run-up to midterm elections – just 47 days away – probably hasn't helped. The Cook Political Report lists 67 House races that are most competitive, leaning either Republican or Democratic or being toss-ups. Of these, no less than 64 last voted for a Republican representative. And, as I wrote here along with my colleague Elaine He, many of these races are in regions where voters tend to drive more than average and earn less than average, making higher pump prices a particularly sore point. It also probably doesn't help that Trump is watching ever more of the president's men being ensnared in Robert Mueller's investigation and faces the potential unraveling of what had looked like a locked-down Supreme Court appointment.
And it really doesn't help that the White House shares a large part of the responsibility for where oil prices are right now.
Despite the president's repeated assertions, OPEC is not a monopoly and never has been. The fact it had to co-opt Russia in order to claw back some of the pricing lost in the recent crash is the surest sign of this.
And while the U.S. does protect some of the countries of the Middle East, Trump's somewhat unpredictable approach to foreign policy means no ally can be as sure of the American-led order as they once were (see this). Threatening those same countries with "we will remember" in the same tweet kind of exposes this.
Most importantly, the U.S. certainly doesn't protect one Middle Eastern country in particular, Iran. Trump's decision to pull out of the nuclear agreement with Tehran and reimpose sanctions is the single biggest factor behind oil's current strength, with Iran's oil exports having dropped by almost a third since April.
The other big supply shock roiling prices concerns Venezuela, where falling oil output is both a casualty and contributor in the country's economic collapse. Trump has reportedly discussed potential military intervention there, which, given the recent history of such ventures, one imagines wouldn't necessarily stabilize things. And forgive me if you know this already, but Venezuela isn't in the Middle East.
In short, it's complicated: America's fractious domestic politics and unpredictable foreign stance are intersecting with Saudi Arabia's delicate balancing act, and all against oil's usual Jackson Pollock-ish backdrop of geopolitics and economics. Blaming OPEC is nice and, importantly, fits well inside 280 characters. But it isn't reality.
This doesn't include races categorized as "likely" Republican or Democratic, which the Cook Political Report also deem "competitive". These add up to another 38 races.
