A man died in police custody on 7 July after he was detained for 'breaching the peace'. Greater Manchester Police arrived at Andre Moura's property in Oldham at about 11.30pm on 6 July, following reports of a domestic disturbance.
But video footage shot by a neighbour shows police admitting to kneeing Moura in the head while restraining him. Footage filmed by a neighbour during Moura's arrest was published by the Manchester Evening News. In it, Moura can be heard screaming "help" and "help me" several times. The neighbour, Barry Lee Martin, later confronts a police officer. Martin says; "You just kneed him about several times", To which the officer replies; "Yeah, I know pal".
Pointing at the officers, Martin then says; "Three of you had hold of him and he kneed him several times". And the same officer responds; "Tell that lad to do one inside. He's shouting all sorts".
At the end of the video, Martin reports his concerns to a second police officer on the street, saying the officers had Moura "up against the wall", But the officer responds to Martin by stating; "But you don't know what they're dealing with though do you?… Go inside for me".
Moura screams throughout the video.

300km on a mountain bike in Africa
Ride Sierre Leone
November 2020, open dates | Sierra Leone
A human adventure, a sporting challenge which has an impact
Where love for sports unites people and makes a difference.
RuntheWorld and Street Child present the cycling challenge of 300km by Street Child in West Africa, in Sierra Leone. For the first time this year, an unforgettable experience awaits you.
As well as experiencing countries and cultures different to your own, you will discover a parallel reality full of surprises and emotions.
In tropical surroundings, you will discover the projects of one of the more active NGOs in the area, you will meet a new group of friends united by the same cause- that is one experience that no cyclist would want to miss.
It is not about the destination, it is about the journey. Street Child's Ride in Sierra Leone is for experienced cyclists, given that they will cycle around 80km a day. Come alone, with your partner or your colleagues. At whatever scale you want, transform it into a collective or even a corporate challenge. We offer you a complete package which covers the greatest costs of your stay. What will make a real difference is the fundraising campaign that you will do around your experience.
Your goal: raise 1500€ of donations in support of your trip. Street Child will help you advertise this fantastic event and you will see the positive impact in person.
The Experience
A united, supportive group overcoming challenges to contribute to change. This is what it feels like pedalling for Street Child in Sierra Leone. Now, you can live it and dive into a trip which will change you forever.
The Cause
7 days of travel - 4 of them cycling
After landing in Freetown, Sierra Leone, you will be welcomed by the Street Child staff and will travel to Bo. Today is the day to choose your bike and visit the project. Your first morning in Sierra Leone will consist of getting to know the local Street Child team. We will assign you a bicycle and our incredible local mechanic, Karim, will prepare everything for you to start the craziest bike ride of your life. You will take part in an informative initiation and security session by the Street Child team before your first visit to one of the projects in Bo.
On your first day of cycling you will head out from Bo towards Yele and will include a project visit en route. Cycle on hard-packed mud roads. On arrival in Yele, you'll be greeted by the village chief and the local community. You will sleep in basic accommodation, sufficient for regaining energy to continue the adventure.
Head out from Yele to Makeni, enjoy really quiet, lightly undulating rural roads. That night you'll stay with the local community hosted in the home of one of the locals.
You'll start day 4 with a project visit in Makeni before cranking it up a gear to cycle on hilly and challenging terrain with views of Makeni's beautiful mountain range. You will be staying in basic accommodation.
The longest day on the bike but definitely the most magical. Starting at the crack of dawn, you'll ride through the northernmost chiefdoms towards the finish line in Kambia.
You have now completed the challenge. Today you can relax on the beach. Sit back, relax and enjoy the beautiful sands of BUREH BEACH. You deserve it! You can also choose to extend your trip further and stay at the stunning coastal retreat of Tokeh beach on a bed and breakfast basis.
Now it's time to say goodbye. Today you will prepare to fly home from Lungi airport and reflect on this unique life adventure.
Those who have already had the experience
From Nepal to Guatemala, through Madagascar and Sierra Leone, they share their experiences.
Live the experience for €740
Reserve your place and launch your fundraising campaign
Share with your friends and reach your target of €1500.
Street Child doesn't make any profit on the organization of your visit. Without even meeting you, will be the best ambassador for all of the programs that you are going to visit.

American Beauty Cosmetics "fully supports the development and global acceptance of non-animal testing alternatives.

To test products for irritants, allergens, product efficacy, ingredient preservation and stability, and package compatibility, American Beauty Cosmetics relies heavily on collaboration of experts across toxicology, microbiology, environmental chemistry, manufacturing and engineering sciences.

Ladies, there is no need to limit yourselves. We can be just as dapper as the handsome suited gentlemen out there. Once again our favorite childhood boy band beaux never fails to leave an imprint of adolescent memories on our hearts or in this case on our nails.
- A white or cream polish (Essie's Sand Tropez)
- Any metallic polish (preferably blue or green) (Essie's Trophy Wife or Essie's Aruba Blue)
- Black polish or Black Nail Art Pen
- Dotting tool
- Scissors
- Tape
Step 1: After prepping your nails, polish on 2 coats of your preferred white or cream colored polish.
Step 2: Using small pieces of tape, place them at angles from your cuticles creating an upside down triangle.
Step 3: Apply 2 coats of your metallic color and allow the nail polish to dry.
Step 4: Use your black polish/nail art pen to outline the metallic color on your nails.
Step 5: Create 2 black lines parallel to the metallic outlines forming a smaller triangle. You can leave the design as is, but if you're feeling a bit more on the creative side, continue to steps 6-8.
Step 6: Paint a horizontal X on your nail as a guide for your bow-tie.
Step 7: Use your dotting tool to fill in both sides of the X with your metallic color. Also add 2-3 dots going down your nail vertically.
Step 8: To clean up the design, go over the X once more with the black polish and close off the sides. Create black dots on top of the previous metallic dots for buttons.
Before you know it, you'll be creating nail art like the pros. Stay tuned for next week's Style Play Polish, and don't forget to tag us on Instagram @LoveBrownSugar with your Suit & Tie inspired looks!

Thank you for inquiring about the Bridge Device.
Here is some preliminary information to review. After reviewing, let's schedule a time to speak about your program.
The BRIDGE® is an FDA cleared peripheral nerve field stimulator that targets cranial nerve branches in the external ear. It is being used to ease the symptoms of opioid withdrawal as patients transition to MAT, taper down on prescription opioids, and stop taking opioids all together. A reduction in COWS score is observed in as little as 10 minutes. Studies show an ~85% reduction in opioid withdrawal symptoms within one hour and a 88.8% success rate in transitioning to Vivitrol via outpatient clinics. Each device is active for 5 days allowing for a comfortable detox experience and immediate, productive engagement in treatment.
Here are video links to review.

Book of Mormon, Irreverent, Uproarious Entertainment
by Becky Auer
I knew that The Book of Mormon set record highs for Broadway ticket prices, won nine
Tony Awards, and garnered in rave reviews from theatre critics, so when the opportunity
arose, I had to go see this musical for myself.
I have seen many musicals and I can say without hesitation that The Book of Mormon
THE BOOK OF MORMON First National
Tour Company (c) Joan Marcus, 2013
was the most witty and crude, heartwarming and hilarious musical I've been to.
I'd think that Mormons must be skeptical when they hear this show was written by the
South Park creators, and for good reason. The duo is well-known for their slapstick vulgarity
and has left no religion, politician, or celebrity spared. But while the show gives a serious
ribbing to some of Mormonism's quirkier beliefs, a non-Mormon leaves the show with the
feeling that, in general, Mormons are enthusiastic, sincere, good-hearted, and somewhat
naive people who also believe some strange things. And don't we all?!
This show follows a pair of energetic Mormon missionaries who get sent to Uganda. They
start off with all the answers, ready to free the world from suffering. However, they are soon
confronted with the harsh reality of Ugandan life like AIDS, warlords, famine and struggle to
make their message applicable to the challenges facing the locals. When their idealistic
mindset clashes with real life, they are forced to think hard about the meaning of religion and to
'improvise' to make things work. The result is loads of thought-provoking interaction and
non-stop laughter. One moment you're in tears laughing, the next moment your jaw is hanging
open and the next you're in the feel-good musical of the century.
THE BOOK OF MORMON First National Tour
Mark Evans, Derrick Williams
(c) Joan Marcus, 2013
There is a lot of shock factor. But most of it is deeply connected to the messages the musical
aims to get across. Watching a tribe of Africans dancing around the stage cursing God might
sound like nonsense at first glance, but the things they're saying give a lot of insight into a
worldview that contrasts sharply with that of the young missionaries. When an African man
leaps in front of two missionaries giving a first discussion and sings at the top of his lungs, "I
have maggots in my scrotum," it serves not just for shock factor, but also to suggest the
seeming irrelevance of their message in solving his real-life problems.
Many Mormons worry that their religion is misrepresented in the musical, and would probably
have mixed feelings on the way it's portrayed. The writers did nail Mormon culture, from the
enthusiasm of young missionaries ("Two By Two") to the Mormon guilt complex ("Spooky
Mormon Hell Dream"). Of course the writers take the unique aspects of Mormon culture and
exaggerate them to the 'nth' degree.
From the very first number ("Hello"), the audience completely falls in love with the missionaries,
and gets to see the mission experience through their eyes. Many people have negative feelings
towards missionaries knocking on their doors. But after walking for a couple hours in the
missionaries' shoes, one leaves with a greater sense of their desire to 'do good' and of the
discomfort they too feel when knocking on strangers' doors.
This show is about religion in general, and Mormonism is just the vessel. It's about going out to
THE BOOK OF MORMON First National Tour
Phyre Hawkins, Mark Evans, Christopher John O'Neill
(c) Joan Marcus, 2013
change the world when you're young and enthusiastic and realizing that things are a lot more
complicated than you thought. It's about how belief can unite people, give hope and inspiration.
In the end, the message is that no matter how silly a religion may sound, it's the good it inspires
in people that really counts.
I'd say this show is definitely not for everyone. But if you have thick skin and don't mind the
edginess, seeing this show may be one of the most entertaining nights of your life. For those
choosing not to see it, rest assured that it's a more thoughtful show than you might have
assumed, even with all the profanity.
Deciding to attend? You can still catch the show from today thru April 7, 2013 at the Benedum Center. Tickets available HERE.

It's easy to make fun of the often absurd world of social media influencers. While delivering 11 times higher return on investment (ROI) than traditional marketing, influencers have taken over the world, and the companies who are hesitant to jump on the influencer marketing bandwagon are missing out.
The concept of an "influencer" may seem abstract to some marketers, but influencer marketing has become increasingly complex over the last few years. Companies need to know how to simultaneously leverage the right levels of influencers to maximize their brand awareness and drive the greatest results. Here's how it works.
It's like getting a recommendation from a close friend who cares.
While some companies have dismissed influencers as superficial or not important, your potential customers have real and authentic relationships with them through social media. Product tutorials and endorsements from trusted sources are influencing people to buy things on social media and influencers carry more weight with customers than anyone could have previously imagined.
Influencers are EXPERTS. They offer deep expertise in a specific area. When a beauty influencer features a makeup brand that she uses every day, her followers are going to trust that she uses "the best products" because they trust her recommendations are authentic. Influencers gain the trust of their followers by bringing them into their inner circle and sharing their lives while using the products.
Influencers are CONNECTED. It's not always about the number of followers on a platform. Social media influencers, including nano- and micro-influencers, have higher engagement rates of quality followers. This deep level of interactivity builds relationships and is critical to why social influencers are so valuable to any marketing strategy: it's a platform of trusted fans that facilitates a receptiveness to a brand.
Influencers are AUTHENTIC. The best social influencers are authentic; they have a passion for a brand or product, which shows in what they endorse or recommend to their followers. To their target audience, they are the authority in whatever niche they're occupying. They'll tell it like it is with no filter.
Seeing is believing…
Ok, you believe you need influencers, but where do you start? It's time to find fans of your product or brand. The biggest challenge for most marketers today is finding relevant influencers, people who believe in their brand.
To be successful in influencer marketing, you can't work with just anyone on social media. You need to find the influencers who would actually believe in your product or service. If they love your product, they will talk about it to their audience in a way that is authentic. If you interact, engage, and help promote them, they will be brand promoters for life.
When looking for influencers, you also want to consider the following:
- How do they interact with their fans when not promoting content. What types of comments do they write back to their fans?
- What is their content style? How do they create content and does it align with where your brand is going?
- What have you done to engage with them? Influencer marketing is a two-way street, so you can't expect to get what you aren't willing to give.
PeakActivity has an incredible social media marketing team that can get in touch with the right influencers for your business. They've done it for a bunch of companies with a crazy amount of success. No, for real, they know what they're doing. Visit our website to learn more.

Backstreet's back, alright! Yep, the Backstreet Boys are back again with a new single, Don't Go Breaking My Heart.
The Backstreet Boys —comprised of Nick Carter, Kevin Richardson, AJ McLean, Howie D and Brian Littrell — have been teasing something social media for the past four days. Starting with a silhouette of the group, they then shared the band together on a photo shoot. Finally, they shared a video clip of them standing in front of some lights as a piano plays in the background.
The group later took to social media to announce that all the teasing was counting down to the announcement of their new single Don't Go Breaking My Heart.
"Excuse the dad joke but… we're back," they wrote. "NEW BACKSTREET BOYS SINGLE DON'T GO BREAKING MY HEART OUT MAY 17TH."
The Backstreet Boys' new single is the group's first new music since their 2013 album, In a World Like This, which reached Number 16 on the Official Albums Chart. That album saw the group team up with their old collaborators Max Martin and Kristian Lundin, both of whom helped the group achieve a string of hits in the 90s, including their 1999 Number 1 single I Want It That Way.
The Backstreet Boys will release Don't Go Breaking My Heart this Friday, 17 May.
View the Backstreet Boys' full chart history here, including 16 UK Top 10 singles.

Claim Processing: Traditional vs. MedBen
MedBen claims processing starts and ends like traditional claim processing. It's what we do in between that makes the difference.
Data Analysis to Maximize Your Plan Potential
It's one thing to promise lower costs, and another to prove it. That's why MedBen provides clients with measurable and actionable reports that show not only how we help you reduce your health care spending, but reveal opportunities for future savings.
With our secure online dashboard, you can spot risks, study trends and identify opportunities for improving care and reducing costs. The dashboard gives you ready access to plan data, while benchmarking capabilities allow you to compare your plan performance against regional and national norms.
Coverage Strategies
Benefits managers are extolling "innovative" new ideas to lower their clients' health care costs. We agree that they are great ideas… so much so, many MedBen clients have had these alternative coverage strategies in place for years and already benefit from healthier employee populations and reduced coverage costs.
Reference-Based Pricing
Direct Contracting
Bundled Payment Services
Stop-Loss: More Choice, Better Protection
Stop-loss provides added financial protections to make self-funding even more appealing. A stop-loss carrier serves as a safety net for catastrophic claims and balances quality coverage with cost considerations.
MedBen offers stop-loss independence. We shop multiple carriers to ensure that clients retain the desired level of specific and aggregate protection, and negotiate the best possible rates.

text: The new-generation global navigation satellite system (GNSS) satellites are committed to providing multi-frequency signals for establishing improved positioning, navigation and timing (PNT) services, including GPS Block IIF satellites, Galileo satellites, GLONASS-K satellites and BDS-2/BDS-3 satellites. The joint usage of multi-frequency signals draws increasing attention from the GNSS community. However, the satellite clocks provided by the international GNSS service (IGS) are a lumped term of frequency-independent physical clock errors, and frequency-dependent code and carrier phase hardware delays at the satellite. The current precise satellite clock products are generated based on specific observations, such as L1/L2 ionospheric-free (IF) combined code and carrier phase observations for GPS. The inconsistency among signal-dependent biases within a satellite results in the inadequacy of the current L1/L2 IF satellite clock products for the GPS precise point positioning (PPP) involving L5 signal. This study focuses on the consistent use of satellite clocks for GPS triple-frequency PPP. We can first estimate the inter-frequency clock bias (IFCB), and then, convert the L1/L2 IF satellite clocks into the desired satellite clocks for triple-frequency PPP by combining them with the estimated IFCBs. However, there are various types of triple-frequency PPP models, including the PPP model with L1/L2 and L1/L5 dual-frequency IF combinations (IF-PPP1), the PPP model using the triple-frequency observations integrated into a single IF combination (IF-PPP2), and the PPP model based on the uncombined (UC) observations (UC-PPP). In addition, for the IF-PPP2, there is an infinite number of triple-frequency IF combinations with only two conditions, namely removing the first-order ionospheric delay and keeping the geometric distance unchanged. Therefore, we should estimate various types of IFCBs to implement the triple-frequency PPP processing, according to the differentrequirements of users. Definitely, this will increase the workload of satellite clock providers and multi-frequency PPP users. A unified IFCB estimation approach, which can be applied to various triple-frequency PPP models, is needed. If we can know the relationship among different types of IFCBs, all of them can be obtained by converting only a set of estimated IFCBs, such as L1/L5 IF IFCBs (difference between L1/L5 and L1/L2 IF satellite clocks). In this study, we have rigorously derived the mathematical conversion formula. Thus, the satellite clocks for various types of triple-frequency PPP models can be derived by combining a set of current precise satellite clock products with only a set of IFCBs. The multi-frequency integration becomes easy. Although our investigation is based on GPS data, the relevant theory and approach can also be applied to BDS.

It has been hard to fill up my rain barrels this summer. Mother Nature gave her all in May and early June and has been very stingy since.
My daughter is a good handyman (handyperson?) like your granddaughters. She's one reason I bought my little 1920's house; I was depending on her help with the upkeep. She does what she can, but she's so busy that I rarely can snare her. You're a lucky woman woman to have those two granddaughters there to help.ReplyDelete

John Chuckman
"Benjamin Netanyahu 'rejects' Donald Trump's comments on Muslims and says Israel 'respects all citizens' rights'"
That last is a laughable, lawyer-crafted, courtroom statement since Israel in fact keeps about 5 million non-citizens in a state of perpetual bondage.
I suspect The Independent has the quote slightly wrong also.
What Netanyahu said must have been something along these lines:
"Israel rejects Donald Trump's comments on Muslims because Israel just shoots them in the streets."
Oh please, even publishing this man's words is sickening.
Netanyahu is personally responsible for killing thousands of Muslims.
And leaving thousands homeless.
He holds thousands in jail without due process.
He abuses millions daily with check-points and limits on movement.
He steals homes and farms regularly.
I am no admirer of Trump, but compared to Netanyahu, a genuinely evil man, he seems almost wholesome.
I feel pretty sure that Netanyahu makes this effort, not just as another cheap opportunity to speak from momentary ethical high ground, but because Trump is the one candidate Israel actually fears since he does not depend on campaign contributions from lobbies like the extremely powerful one with which Israel keeps most of Washington's pathetic politicians in line.

Liverpool are also without Fabio Aurelio who is still recovering from an achilles problem and David Ngog also picked up a knock but may still be available for Roy to select on Sunday.
As pictured new signing Raul Meireles was also training with the rest of the boys so could most certainly feature in this difficult clash against the Blues.
Not forgetting too for the Reds that Joe Cole still has one match left on his ban for receiving his red card at the start of the season.
Birmingham also have a couple of injury worries and ex Arsenal man Alexander Hleb was supposed to be ruled out but after further reports suggesting that Alex McLeish may indeed utilise the winger within the 90minutes this weekend, we could see him play after all.
Parnaby and Phillips are two other players who are unavailable for the Birmingham boss but he has the pick of the rest of his fully fit squad.
Last season Liverpool's two games against the Blues proved tough and both ended in score draws. With the added controversy of the David Ngog penalty, Sunday's game will be far from a simple one for Roy's boys.
Birmingham will definitely be up for it and are more than capable of getting something like a 2-1 win over us and it worries me because i always feel looking at the Birmingham side that they will score. Although a draw would be acceptable you have to feel that Liverpool must go for the win. There will be harder away trips to come so capitalizing on the ones where the highest points tally is achievable is a sensible plan of action in my eyes.
Not sure how Roy is going to set up but you can almost guarantee it will be Torres leading the line. Would be very nice to get a glimpse at Meireles and i would also like to see Maxi Rodriguez start the game as we haven't really had to chance to get a good match out of him yet at this early stage of the season.

First Things First
At the scene of your accident, it's vitally important that you record as much information about it as possible: Be sure to get names and contact information for the other parties involved. If you can, take pictures. You never know when any of these things might come in handy down the road.
The first thing you should do immediately following your car or motorcycle accident is see a doctor. Even if you doubt the severity of your injury, there's no sense in gambling with your safety and future health. Besides that, the information gained from your doctor appointment may prove crucial in your claim for personal injury damages.
How Much Is Your Case Worth?
A serious vehicle accident can cause injuries so severe that you find yourself entitled to thousands of dollars in damages. Lost wages, steep medical bills, and continued pain and suffering can add stress to what is already a difficult situation. With over two decades of personal injury experience backing him up, attorney Joe Brad Brock will hold negligent drivers and insurance companies accountable on your behalf.
Added Complications for Motorcyclists
Recovering damages for motorcycle accidents can be tricky due to the difficulty of determining causation. While another driver may be held responsible, a crash can sometimes occur due to a defective part, such as one that might cause a speed wobble. Injuries may also result from an improperly designed or constructed helmet. Since motorcycle accidents are uniquely challenging to litigate, speedy consultation with an experienced attorney is even more critical upon their occurrence.
Joe Brad offers experienced legal representation to any Texas resident struggling with auto or motorcycle accident injuries. Contact The Law Office of Joe Brad Brock right away to schedule your free consultation.

Here's an acronym that's probably new to you – DaaS – Device as a Service. When it comes to phone systems, that's not something you'd expect to hear, and this is yet another sign of how times are changing. As with my last series, this is based on a recent announcement by a well-known vendor, but as always, the vendor isn't my focus. In this case, the vendor should be familiar – Polycom. Not only is Polycom a large, well-established vendor, but the company is by far, the largest independent telephony player. As such, when they make a move like this, decision-makers need to take notice.
Of course, it wasn't so long ago that Polycom was almost absorbed by Mitel, which would have created a chain reaction across the business communications ecosystem. Before continuing with my analysis, this sidebar merits commentary, as it also speaks to how the telephony landscape is shifting. While Polycom is also strong with video phones and video conferencing solutions, telephony is their strong suit, and folding into Mitel would have likely taken the leading blue-chip vendor off the table.
If you're currently in the market to upgrade or replace your phone system, Polycom is the safest choice outside of going with an integrated UC solution that includes telephony. Beyond Polycom, there's a pretty big drop-off in quality from pure-play telephony vendors – and that scenario warrants a separate analysis – and it speaks to how the IP phone space has been evolving. I recently presented a Ziff Davis webinar on the latest innovations in telephony, and that's largely driven by the changing role of telephony, and that needs to be understood to make good decisions for your business.
Thinking differently about what drives value for telephony
First off, phone systems have shifted from hardware to software, and then from Capex to Opex. This is actually good news for decision-makers, as the investment is less onerous, and there's more flexibility now in terms of scenarios for making a change. Secondly, with the rise of the cloud and hosted VoIP services, businesses have choices beyond a premise-based phone system. Of course, some businesses want to own and operate telephony, but that position is getting harder to defend for all kinds of reasons.
What's really important here is how the value driver for telephony has shifted from the endpoint to the network, and with that, applications are increasingly based in the cloud. At face value, it may appear that phones are now passive endpoints, but that's where the innovation I've been writing about comes into play. Some businesses may be happy just using IP phones for telephony, but many of those applications go beyond that, especially when your palette has expanded to Unified Communications.
When it comes to supporting a fuller set of features that go beyond telephony, endpoints start to matter more. Supporting basic telephony is largely a commodity now, and businesses don't need to spend much on phones to get that. In fact, they can dispense with desk phones entirely, relying instead on mobility, soft phones and PC-based VoIP services. This may not provide true business-grade telephony, but for some businesses, it addresses their needs for voice.
Why you should pay attention to what Polycom is doing
That's not the norm today, but as the workforce trends younger, there's a fundamental shift occurring in terms of how people both communicate and collaborate. Aside from work modes becoming mobile-centric, they're also becoming messaging-centric, often at the expense of voice. While telephony traffic has been steadily migrating from the desk phone to wireless devices, overall volumes of voice activity are being surpassed by a variety of messaging-based applications. For some time now, I've been saying that messaging is the new voice, and with come fundamental implications for your technology investments.
As these transitions gain momentum, decision-makers have to think more carefully about the role of both voice and telephony in the business. The real-time nature of voice ensures it will continue to have essential business value, but its utility is no longer tied to the phone system. Furthermore, as telephony becomes more integrated with UC, the utility of desk phones is no longer restricted to only voice.
Vendors like Polycom are certainly well-attuned to these changes, but many businesses are still thinking in legacy terms. That's the impetus for writing this post, as businesses have some catching up to do here, not just for how desk phones are evolving, but also for how decision-makers think about what really drives business value. To better understand that, my next post will explain DaaS, why Polycom is doing this, and how this represents a new form of value for decision-makers.

Lee Stutely was introduced to wheelchair rugby when she worked as an Auxiliary Nurse in the North West Regional Spinal Centre, based in Southport, UK. Seeing the impact sport had on her patients' rehabilitation and outlook on life after injury, she became actively involved with wheelchair rugby.
Initially volunteering as nursing support for the GBWR Development Team in 2006, this led to Lee also setting up a wheelchair rugby club – West Coast Crash – in 2006, which is based out of the Spinal Centre. In 2009 she became part of the nursing support staff to the GBWR Elite Team and her involvement with GBWR has continued to develop in the years that followed.
Since 2013 Lee has worked full-time for GBWR, supporting not only the Elite Team but also the "grassroots" of the sport where she currently runs GBWR's domestic league competition and events.
Lee is now the Team Manager and continues to provide nursing support to the GBWR Elite Team; Tokyo 2020 will be her fourth Paralympic Games.

"This design process is akin to a geological development that takes place in the earth's crust"
The history of salt is interwoven in many stories in written narratives, from the Bible to Greek mythology. Salt has always been considered of great worth, cherished and highly esteemed. The ability to preserve and to impede decay, as well as maintain life has given salt a broad metaphorical importance and position, which began to fade away in the last 100 years. Salt has become inexpensive and easy to obtain. For centuries, salt was one of the most sought-after natural resources in human history, gaining a vital position with the shift to raise animals for meat rather than kill wild ones. Similar to us, animals also needs salt. When humans began to domesticate and raise wild animals like sheep and goats for their meat, the industry of salt production was firmly settled. Cattle became a backbone for food, consuming huge quantities of grain and salt. To illustrate the need for large amounts of salt, just one cow needs as much as ten times the amount of salt a human requires. Inevitably salt gained a great symbolic importance and economic value. Simultaneously to researching literature about salt and the Dead Sea area, I began experimenting with NaCl in my studio, trying to design a process in which the wasted NaCl could be useful and beneficial to use in a design process as a mass, expecting to achieve a different state from the way the raw material currently exists – very fine particles, in an ordered pattern extending to a microscopic solid crystal. If the process can turn a great number of crystals into a rigid mass which creates concentrated, solid surfaces from pure NaCl, new design possibilities can be formed, with the potential of turning large quantities of salt, otherwise wasted, to practical products.With the intent ambition of achieving a solid mass of pure NaCl, the experiments I conducted consisted of sea salt - a pure NaCl in its solid state, within a process of heating the crystals to their melting point. Reaching the alteration in state from solid crystals to liquid, the liquid was then altered back again to its solid condition in a new form. The experiments were a series of trials in which each test led to conclusions which had an effect on the next experiment.

THE year was 1967 and the world was changing fast. It was the start of a revolution in which society could express its feelings in a way it had never before. It was the age of long-haired hippies, the raised fist signifying the black power movement, riots protesting the Vietnam war, young people smoking marijuana as their recreational activity of choice, and virtually anything else that went against the grain of the accepted norm.
It was the era of The Beatles, Martin Luther King, Robert Francis Kennedy, and of course Muhammad Ali. JFK and Malcolm X had been assassinated earlier in the decade, and in 1968, MLK and RFK were to follow. Much later, John Lennon would meet a similar fate. But perhaps the man at the greatest risk, the one despised more than any other person walking the face of the earth escaped the violent destiny that had befell the others. But Ali did pay a heavy price, when on April 28, 1967 he refused to take the oath to serve in the United States military. He was immediately stripped of his world heavyweight title while having his boxing licence revoked.

In Italy, Irina Bokova highlights the role of culture and creativity for resilience
On 22 July 2017, in the context of the visit of the Director-General to Italy, Irina Bokova participated in the Scientific Committee Meeting of the Aristide Merloni Foudnation, to discuss recent initiatives in response to the impact of the major earthquake that hit the center of Italy in 2016. On this occasion, the Director-General insisted that UNESCO's approach never dissociates stones and buildings from the local communities and social fabrics.
Irina Bokova also highlighted recent UNESCO achievements in the response to emergencies and disaster risk preparedness. "In UNESCO we refer to the notion of "recovery" and not "rebuilding" because this is not only about saving stones and monuments – the role of culture is to sustain social life, enhance cohesion and accelerate rebirth." The Director-General thanked the Government of Italy for its essential advocacy role in the recognition of culture as an enabler of sustainable development, for the creation of the task force #unite4heritage, and for the expertise of the Italian Carabinieri.
The Director-General also took part as a guest of honor in the think-tank meeting of the Aristide Metrloni Foundation gathering international and Italian economists, intellectuals and entrepreneurs, under the chairmanship of Mr. Enrico Letta President of the Scientific Committee of the Foundation and Dean of the School of international Affairs of Sciences Po Paris, to discuss about the relaunch of economic activities in the region following the devastating earthquake and investments to devise a new economic, social and cultural map of the territory. "We do not need rhetorics for those territories damaged by the earthquake, we need concrete action" said Mr. Enrico Letta President of the Scientific Committee of the Foundation and Dean of the School of international Affairs of Sciences Po - Paris. Also attending Mr. Romano Prodi, former Prime Minister of Italy; Mr. Francesco Merloni, the President of the Aristide Merloni Foundation; and Mr. Daniel Gros, Director of the Center for European Policy Studies.
In concluding her visit to Italy, the Director-General opened the exhibition "Tavola Aurea" which finds in Fabriano its permanent home after being exposed all over the world, from US to Japan. The work is an installation of 116 white ceramic dishes, one for each Creative City of UNESCO.
