Federal Reserve chairman Alan Greenspan's speeches at the symposium in Jackson Hole, Wyoming has attracted a number of comments in the mainstream media and the blogosphere, so I won't add to them except to highlight his remarks on the role of asset prices in the economy and in relation to monetary policy-making.
In his speech on 26 August, "Reflections on central banking", he said:
... The determination of global economic activity in recent years has been influenced importantly by capital gains on various types of assets, and the liabilities that finance them. Our forecasts and hence policy are becoming increasingly driven by asset price changes... [T]he growing stability of the world economy over the past decade may have encouraged investors to accept increasingly lower levels of compensation for risk... The lowered risk premiums--the apparent consequence of a long period of economic stability--coupled with greater productivity growth have propelled asset prices higher...
... To some extent, those higher values may be reflecting the increased flexibility and resilience of our economy. But what they perceive as newly abundant liquidity can readily disappear. Any onset of increased investor caution elevates risk premiums and, as a consequence, lowers asset values and promotes the liquidation of the debt that supported higher asset prices. This is the reason that history has not dealt kindly with the aftermath of protracted periods of low risk premiums.
And in his closing remarks on 27 August, he said:
Nearer term, the housing boom will inevitably simmer down. As part of that process, house turnover will decline from currently historic levels, while home price increases will slow and prices could even decrease. As a consequence, home equity extraction will ease and with it some of the strength in personal consumption expenditures. The estimates of how much differ widely...
Debates on the relative merits of asset price targeting also will continue and possibly intensify in the years ahead. The configuration of asset prices is already an integral part of our evaluation of the large array of forces that influence financial stability and economic growth. But given our current state of knowledge, I find it difficult to envision central banks successfully targeting asset prices any time soon. However, I certainly do not rule out that future work could improve our understanding of asset price behavior, and with it, the conduct of monetary policy.

Track and Field legend Usain Bolt has said that whatever the outcome of a possible appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) by the legal team of Jamaican sprint relay teammate Nesta Carter, the two will always remain friends.Jamaica's 4x100m relay team of Bolt, Carter, Asafa Powell, Michael Frater and Dwight Thomas, which won gold at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, China had to hand over the gold medals to the Jamaica Olympic Association (JOA) yesterday.This was after Carter was disqualified by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) from the Games, after retroactively testing positive for the banned substance methylhexaneamine.NO RECENT CONTACTBolt told The Gleaner that he does not know how the other affected members of the team are feeling as he has not spoken with any of them since Wednesday's ruling."I haven't had a discussion with anybody," Bolt said. "I haven't seen anybody in a while, so I guess when we see them, we'll have a discussion."It has been public discussion that Bolt and his teammates may now harbour bad feelings towards Carter, especially since being stripped of the medal means he can no longer claim to have won a 'triple treble' of Olympic gold medals in the 100m and 200m sprints as well as the 4x100m relays.However, Bolt has dismissed this, saying his friendship with Carter is too strong to be affected by the decision."I'm not gonna despise anybody for anything," Bolt said. "Nesta and I are still friends. We came up through the ranks in high school, so we're still friends, and I really don't have a problem with Nesta."Bolt said that all that is on his mind at this moment is continuing to win in 2017, although he has not yet finished planning which meets he will compete in this season."It's all about winning, and that's always my focus. That's what I want," Bolt added. "My calendar's not made up yet, and we're (he and his management team) just taking our time and working our way from there. I'm not sure which race I'll be running yet though."

Zlatan Ibrahimovic discusses MourinhoPogba relationship
Former Manchester United striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic shared his theory on why Jose Mourinho failed to bring out the best out of Paul Pogba at United.Ibrahimovic believes Mourinho's failure to give Pogba confidence was the reason for the breakdown in their relationship during their time together at United.The former Chelsea manager was sacked last month and Pogba has since produced some of his best football in a United shirt since Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was appointed as caretaker manager, scoring five goals and assisting four more in the six matches he has played under the Norwegian.When asked about what changed, Ibrahimovic claimed Pogba is the type of footballer who goes beyond tactical organization and balance and needs to be "free."Solskjaer praises Harry Maguire after Man United's 1-0 win Andrew Smyth – September 14, 2019 Ole Gunnar Solskjaer singled out Harry Maguire for praise after helping Manchester United keep a clean sheet in their 1-0 win over Leicester City."There are these players that need to be free, they need to feel free to do what they are able to do under the disciple of the coach," Ibrahimovic told ESPN FC."Obviously, he has his tactics, he has that, but some players they go above these limits, and you need to let them be free, and I think Paul is one of them.""Paul didn't feel confidence from the coach [Mourinho], and the coach didn't feel confident for Paul.""It's difficult to perform as a player if you don't have confidence from the coach and you don't have that energy, that motivation, and Jose felt the same thing about Paul."
Pandora Goes Curated With Streaming Playlists OnDemand
Pandora Launches Curated Playlists pandora-goes-curated-streaming-playlists-demand Email Facebook Pandora Goes Curated With Streaming Playlists On-Demand Still backed by the sophisticated Music Genome Project, Pandora adds new dimensions of data with "wickedly expert curators"Philip MerrillGRAMMYs Oct 30, 2017 – 4:17 pm Today's announcement that Pandora Premium launched 250 curated playlists turned heads, in part because their streaming service developed without listeners being able to request specific tunes the way people can on Spotify. When Apple Music launched in 2015 it placed a big emphasis on its hip human curators while Pandora seemed to have staked out the machine-driven side of music recommendations.Pandora's algorithmic back end depends on the Music Genome Project — a way to turn one track's musical properties into a set of several hundred descriptive pieces of data. Based on the analytics of each user's personal preferences, Pandora generates radio-like streaming stations to fit each individual listener. This is still true and has resulted in modern peculiarities like when one spouse prefers their hip new music from Spotify while the other spouse favors country music from Pandora. Although Pandora has led the way, all the major streaming services now hope their personalization-math will make visitors want to return and encourage subscribers to pay.The copyright-license fees for on-demand selections are higher than for pre-programmed streams, and this is likely why Pandora's featured playlists are only available on its $9.99-monthly Premium tier. It is also related to Spotify's challenges with its business model, because these higher costs make it harder to be profitable. Pandora is leveraging the new work put in by its "wickedly expert curators" to add new stations for its Free and $4.99-monthly Plus tiers. In terms of math, this is going to get interesting because Pandora's personalization analytics will be getting new data from users' interactions with its human curators' work.In terms of language, Pandora's featured playlists really speak Millennial, and that's fun. So we have new playlists with names like "Heartbreak Reggae," "The TRL Era," and "Flexxx." The wit passes down to free stations with edgy labels like "Keep It Lit," "Hipster Brunch," and "Beast Mode." It can seem fragmented, trying to have something for everybody, but streaming services must grab attention to survive — then learning each individual's preferences narrows down what gets recommended most prominently. So score one for humans. Even math-master Pandora has come around to giving human curators leading roles in answering today's epic question, "What should I stream next?"Pandora Challenges College Students For Social ImpactRead more Twitter News
SimpliSafe home security launches in the UK
Aug 31 • Alexa can tell you if someone breaks into your house CNET Smart Home Post a comment Share your voice 2:29 On the Amazon front, the company teamed with Travelers Insurance last year to offer Echo Dot-centric home security packages in the US. I asked if Amazon had any plans to introduce something similar in the UK, but a spokesperson told me that they couldn't comment on the roadmap.As for Amazon-owned Ring, the company already sells video doorbells and cameras in the UK, but its professionally monitored Ring Alarm security system is still a US-only offering. That stands to change, though, with a Ring spokesperson telling me that Ring Alarm "will be available for the UK later this year."Meanwhile, the team at Abode, makers of one of our top-rated SimpliSafe alternatives, tells CNET that it, too, is working to bring professionally monitored DIY security kits to the UK and to other markets outside of the US by the end of 2019. Whether or not that adds up to enough of a head start to give SimpliSafe the lead it's looking for remains to be seen, but it's shaping up to be the same fascinating fight for customers that we've seen in the US. Per a recent SimpliSafe survey, just 13 percent of UK households already have a professionally monitored security system — which leaves about 23.7 million households up for grabs.Originally published April 2 at 4 a.m. PT.Update, 6:55 a.m. PT: Now includes updated comment from Ring on UK availability of the Ring Alarm security system.

SimpliSafe suggested that the move was in the works this past June, when the company secured a majority investment from the private equity firm Hellman & Friedman valued at $1 billion.A 10-year-old startup based out of Boston, SimpliSafe offers a variety of customizable home security kits. Each uses wireless sensors that you stick up around your home to monitor for things like motion, door openings or the sound of glass breaking, along with optional accessories like smart locks, video doorbells and cloud-connected cameras. Once everything's in place, you'll arm and disarm the system using a keypad, a keychain fob, app controls or by using voice commands via Alexa or Google Assistant. Now, with kits ranging from £279 to £504 currently up for sale on SimpliSafe's UK website, that pitch has made it across the pond. The system requires no contracts and offers 24/7 professional monitoring starting at £13 per month. Make that £20 per month if you want to add in the full suite of features, including app and voice controls, text alerts, cloud storage of your camera footage and video verification of alarms. • CNET Smart Home Smart Home Aug 30 • Battling bot vacs: iRobot Roomba S9+ vs Neato Botvac D7 Connected Tags Aug 31 • The best coffee grinders you can buy right now See All Review • Editors' Choice: SimpliSafe's new system is better than ever 0 SimpliSafe sees opportunity with the move, citing rising burglary rates in the region and calling itself the first company to sell "wireless, self-install technology with the complete protection of professional monitoring" in the UK.That's not to say that SimpliSafe won't face competition.

2 siblings missing as boat sinks in Buriganga
Two siblings went missing as a boat capsized in the Buriganga river at Sadarghat on Friday evening, reports UNB.The victims are Sumi, 18, daughter of Sumit Gazi of Char Kaliganj and her brother Rabiul Gazi, 8.The victims' father said that his wife along with three of their children was going to Sadarghat to board a Barishal-bound launch in the evening, but their boat capsized in the mid-river.Although his wife and elder son managed to swim ashore, his daughter and another son could not, he added.The boat capsized due to strong current in the river as well as waves created by MV Sharuk-1, said Abdur Rajjak, officer-in-charge of Sadarghat naval police station.On information, members of Fire Service and Civil Defence rushed there, he said, adding that divers were searching for the bodies.

Franco Folini/flickrHomeless sleeping on the sidewalk"As soon as the rail opened up, people were coming in the neighborhood that didn't live there," Matamores said.Council Member Karla Cisneros represents District H, which includes the Near Northside.As she spoke to Mayor Sylvester Turner during the city council meeting, she brought up the possibility of creating a civility ordinance for the entire city."What I would like to request of you is to look at the ordinance and to see how we can make it better," Cisneros commented.Turner says he is trying to find comprehensive solutions to the problem.But he warned that if a measure of that kind were applied in all of Houston, the city could risk losing funds from the federal government if it thinks the city is criminalizing homelessness.

Finding a Niche
"Each category is like a little pond where you can be a big fish," says Mary Margaret Gibson, 61, president of Mirrors and Light Gallery (eBay User ID: maam1945), based in The Colony, Texas. Mirrors and Light specializes in unique, artist-made kaleidoscopes and jewelry. "Our plan was to have more and better kaleidoscopes than anybody else out there," says Gibson. "There aren't many who sell kaleidoscopes on a regu-lar basis [on eBay]," or in the volume that Mirrors and Light does. At any particular time, the company typically has 100 or so kaleidoscopes available through eBay for hobbyists, collectors and fans, ranging in price from $700 to $3,500.Because its products are much more expensive than typical eBay merchandise, Mirrors and Light has worked hard to develop a level of trust with buyers, especially the 30 percent of its customer base that is overseas. Gibson knows that overseas customers may be wary of sending several hundred dollars to an unknown seller in another part of the world. To address any reservations, Gibson went so far as to write a book, The Kaleidoscope Collector's Guide. She also communicates frequently with the company's core audience about its artists and products.Gibson explains that the kaleidoscopes being sold are either from private collections, self-representing artists, or a family or broker selling off an estate. And in some cases, Gibson acts as broker, helping research and evaluate individual pieces, and selling kaleidoscopes on eBay for individuals unfamiliar with them.Starting from scratch in 2004, Mirrors and Light expects to hit sales of just under $150,000 in 2006 from its online sales of kaleidoscopes and new jewelry.No LimitsInterestingly, choosing a narrowly defined niche does not prevent those outside your core customer group from buying from you, say Jennifer Basye Sander and Peter Sander, co-authors of Niche and Grow Rich. Rather, as a niche seller, you will have an easier time establishing yourself as the source for a particular type of product and still attract new buyers. For instance, if your niche is vintage Hermès scarves, your products will be presented to buyers who search for that exact phrase as well as to buyers simply looking for "scarves," "vintage" or "Hermès." Creating a niche doesn't limit opportunities; in fact, it often results in more business. You won't limit your buyers, and specializing in a particular product category will frequently make you a preferred seller to your target customers.Scratch That NicheTo zero in on a niche that's not only profitable, but also fits your interests and background, check out these ebay tools.The eBay "Hot List": A report provided by eBay and accessible from the "Sell" area of the site, the "Hot List" (http://pages.ebay.com/sellercentral/whatshot.html) identifies categories with the greatest increase in listings over a certain time period. Because people list more often in a category when demand is increasing, it's a useful gauge of demand, says John Bodine, product manager for eBay Market-place Research.eBay Pulse: For a quick look at what buyers are searching for, eBay Pulse lists the top 10 search terms on the site (http://pulse.ebay.com). If you subscribe to eBay Marketplace Research, you can see the top 20 terms.Keyword Search: Anyone can use this simple tool to search for types of products and see how many are already listed–essentially, how much competition there is. Search completed listings to determine the typical selling price of an item. Most important, say eBay sellers and experts alike, is finding a niche you love.Gold Mine or Land Mine?If you think you've found a winner, ebay marketplace research can give you the following information to help you determine whether your proposed niche will make you rich.Size of The Opportunity: Using eBay Marketplace Research, you can search by product category to find the average selling price of products you're interested in. Then you can check the number of items sold in that same category. Multiply the average selling price by the number of items sold, and divide by the number of months reported (either two or three, depending on your subscription level), and you have the approximate size of the sales opportunity per month, explains Nick Donelson, product manager for eBay Marketplace Research.Trends: You Ultimately want to enter a category with increasing demand and a rising average selling price, says Donelson. You can use eBay Marketplace Research to chart category performance by day or by week and to spot upticks in demand and price.Sales Forecasting: To determine how long it takes for a type of product to sell, look up average selling price and success rate. This will give you a ballpark idea of how long it will take to sell something. For instance, if 200 listings for McDonald's memorabilia ended and 100 items sold, you can infer that 50 percent of the listings in this category are completed. Based on that information, you can opt to drop your price to sell your product faster, or you can expect to have to list your goods twice for them to sell, says Donelson.The cost to subscribe to eBay Marketplace Research varies according to the term length, which ranges from two days to a month. A Fast Pass provides two days of access for $2.99 and up to 60 days of historical sales information. The Basic level costs $9.99 per month for 60 days' worth of data, and the Pro level costs $24.99 per month but provides up to 90 days of historical data and detailed information to help optimize your listings. October 30, 2006 Sure, the flexibility of being able to sell anything and everything on eBay sounds appealing. But specializing–carving out a niche in a particular category or type of product–can yield even greater rewards. For starters, explains Michael Miller, author of Making a Living From Your eBay Business, you'll know your market and your products more thoroughly than you ever could as a generalist. "You can sell on eBay and not specialize, but it's more hobby than business," Miller observes. "The biggest eBay sellers I know do one or two things well." Knowing a lot about one or two areas, vs. knowing only a little about many categories, can make the difference between being profitable and being very profitable.Seeking out what sellsCase in point: Steve Weber, 46, owner of Weber Books (eBay User ID: weber-books), a Falls Church, Virginia, reseller of used books. Although he made $300 or $400 on eBay the first month he began selling from his own bookshelves, Weber's sales took off when he zeroed in on specific types of nonfiction books that were in demand. In 2005, four years after Weber started his business part time, the now full-time enterprise sold $335,000 online–more than 100 times what the business was initially generating. It all came down to finding a niche.At the outset, Weber worked part time in the evenings selling books he no longer needed. "I wasn't an expert in book values," he admits, but he did notice that nonfiction books tended to be more valuable than fiction, and science and math tomes in particular sold for far more than he anticipated. So he began going to library and estate sales–"the two best ways to get inventory"–in search of science and math guides. His efforts paid off when he purchased a box of books at a sale for a whopping $10. In the box was a book titled Curves and Their Properties, which Weber was able to sell for $200."The way to make money is to find a specialty," says Weber. "It's helpful to start with a niche because you can learn a specific product area and you're not re-inventing the wheel all the time–you quickly learn what sells." He recommends that anyone interested in selling books on eBay start with used merchandise because "there's more profit potential."However, Weber cautions that mass market books, such as The DaVinci Code, may not necessarily sell for more than what you paid because there are already so many of them in circulation. On the other hand, more unusual books that appeal to a limited audience may take a little longer to sell on eBay, but they can sell for more (sometimes much more) than the original cover price, even if they're not in pristine condition. With such quirky titles, "condition is not as important as the information they contain," says Weber.Approximately one-third of Weber's time is spent finding books, with big pushes during January and August, the two biggest bookselling months of the year. Each month, he buys at least 5,000 used books to resell, in addition to the new books he's been selling since 2003. Through wholesale sellers online, such as Book Depot (www.bookdepot.com) and Kudzu Books (www.kudzubooks.com), Weber finds that he can buy overstock for 80 percent off retail and then resell the books profitably over the next several months. (You can find more potential product sources in "Finders, Sellers" on page 22.)The strategy has worked for Weber: "I'm making more money than ever," he says, "because I keep getting better and better at [selling certain types of books] within my niche." Free Webinar | Sept. 9: The Entrepreneur's Playbook for Going Global A Well-Oiled Machine Big Fish in a Small Pond Register Now » 11 min read Growing a business sometimes requires thinking outside the box. Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Another advantage niche businesses have is standardi-zation of processes and materials. For example, Weber needs to stock only a few sizes of boxes and packages for shipping his books rather than hundreds of varieties. "Back-end efficiency, such as with packing and shipping, and effectiveness improve with a niche," confirms Miller. You can set up a routine, a type of assembly line, which reduces the time it takes to complete a sale and increases your profitability.Through experience in his category, Weber is also much faster at setting prices. He uses auction-style listings for some hard-to-find books in hopes that bidders will drive the prices up, and he sells others at fixed prices using "Buy It Now" when there is a general agreement about the value of a particular book.Pump Up the VolumeWhile Weber Books expanded from used books into new ones, Curvy Girl Clothing (eBay User ID: curvygirlclothing) has always been about new merchandise. The company focuses on new special-occasion wear for plus-size women, says Laura Poorman, 31, co-founder with her twin sister, Lisa Toton, of the Portland, Or-egon, company. Poorman and Toton began their eBay careers as buyers, with Poorman scouting convertible cars and Toton on the hunt for a wedding ring set. Both found what they were looking for on the site and, inspired by the potential selling opportunities, began discussions about running their own eBay Store filled with stylish plus-size clothing.To amass some inventory, the two headed to Los Angeles' fashion district, near Toton's home, and stocked up on trendy tops, dresses and skirts for women size 16 to 32. In the three-mile area that makes up the fashion district, Poorman and Toton discovered numerous stores willing to sell clothing to them at great prices. "We only had to buy a few items" in each size, says Poorman.Although they didn't have experience selling on eBay, what they did have was knowledge of their market. As curvy women themselves, Poorman says, "We know what's going to work for plus-size women, so we're able to pick better styles." And because they deal only in new merchandise, they can buy in larger volumes rather than offering single items, as with used pieces. "You can buy something [used] for $5 to $20 and sell [it] for $60, but you only have one," she points out, "so it's harder work." Selling used items next to new ones also devalues the new items, which is why Curvy Girl stays focused on its new-clothing niche.The twins started doing business on eBay in summer 2005, and in October, they had their first $10,000 week in sales. By the end of their first year in business, sales are expected to reach $350,000.Poorman says one of the keys to their success thus far is "not losing focus." By establishing their niche and sticking with it, Curvy Girl Clothing is building a brand that draws eBay buyers back regularly because they know exactly what they'll find there. Says Poorman, "People like that we only do plus-size, stylish occasion wear."
Elon Musks Neuralink Hopes to Put Sensors in Human Brains Next Year
July 17, 2019 While we waited for Neuralink to present the progress it's made over the last couple of years in brain-computer interface technology, the New York Times and Bloomberg published information from an early briefing and it's stuff that's straight out of science fiction. The Elon Musk-backed company claims its "sewing machine-like" robot will be able to implant threads deep into a human brain.The results so far come from testing on lab rats implanted with as many as 1,500 electrodes, which, everyone should be warned, may or may not transfer smoothly to work on humans. If it does work, Neuralink says its intention for the technology at first is to do things like help amputees, or restore the ability to see, talk and listen. Of course, as Elon has said previously, he believes that connecting our brains to computers will eventually be the only way to keep up with the progression of artificial intelligence, so while things may start here the plan is for something much more powerful.One big reveal is that it "hopes" to begin working on human subjects as soon as the second quarter of next year. In the picture above, that was shown during the presentation, that small protrusion at the bottom right with the arrow pointing to it, is the size of the thread that it actually hopes to implant.According to the article, its bundles of flexible threads are about one quarter the diameter of a human hair, implanted using needles to avoid blood vessels on the brain's surface. Then the embedded sensors capture information and send it to a receiver (the chip above) on the surface of the skull. From there it transmits wirelessly — Elon Musk said it could Bluetooth the information to your skull. Right now implantation requires drilling holes, but researchers hope in the future they can use lasers to avoid "unpleasant" vibration.The pod itself is worn behind the ear, with the wireless, battery and other hardware in there.Whether or not this can work in humans is, again, still unproven, and also whether or not the wires can hold up over time. Whenever tonight's event at the California Academy of Sciences actually begins, hopefully we'll find out a few more answers. You can watch the livestream embedded below.According to Musk, its current v1 4x4mm chip is capable of 10,000 electrodes with "read and write" capability, which he says is more than 1,000 times the number of the best deep brain interface currently available for Parkinson's treatment.Neuralink president Max Hodak went on to explain why it's embedding sensors directly into the brain, near but not in neurons. Simply, it's the only way to send and receive the information necessary, from "spikes" of activity. A neurosurgeon is also part of the presentation, showing off some videos of the implantation technology, and how its robot can install thousands of wires directly into the brain while avoiding tissue damage and bleeding. Eventually, they'd like to do it without shaving the patient's head, although he acknowledged that the first operations will be more like current deep brain implants.Further presentations explained even more about how all the technology works, and a paper will be released shortly with more data on what they've achieved so far. One note Musk revealed during a Q&A session is that "a monkey has been able to control the computer with its brain," in response to a query about animal testing and the results so far. Less surprising is his assertion that two people with the implants could use them to communicate "telepathically" — once the technology is working two-ways in the brain that's about what we'd expect. Growing a business sometimes requires thinking outside the box. 4 min read Register Now » This story originally appeared on Engadget Free Webinar | Sept. 9: The Entrepreneur's Playbook for Going Global
Recap M6 closed due to trailer detaching from lorry

Re: is or was
The sentence is semantically strange (discussions are not generally considered to consist of 'actions', but rather of statements, etc.), but the correct grammatical form would be: This was an action from THE last discussion.

Navagamuwa named CIO and executive vice president.
Roshan Navagamuwa, who over the past year served as interim CIO, was named CIO and executive vice president of the combined health-industry giant, leading all areas of technology operations and innovation, according to a statement provided by the company. The move is effective immediately.
He will report to the firm's executive vice president and chief operating officer, Jonathan Roberts, the company said.
"We are bringing two world-class IT organizations together as part of this integration," Navagamuwa told the Journal in an email. "While there are opportunities to integrate enterprise systems, the most exciting opportunities are what we can build as a result of the two entities coming together," he said.
He said cloud computing was an enabling factor in the integration process, by helping the firm move quickly to take advantage of both existing and emerging software and services.
Navagamuwa joined CVS in 2012 as vice president of IT for the firm's government business unit. Within three years he became its client services leader.
As CIO, he now oversees an enterprise-technology team made up of a mix of senior IT leaders from both CVS and Aetna. In the months ahead, he will work with Meg McCarthy, executive vice president of operations and technology and former CIO of Aetna, during a transition period to bring together the two firms' IT organizations.
Among other tools, Navagamuwa told the Journal he plans to use big data and analytics to help the firm integrate and deliver care that will be easier to use, while shifting services to be more relevant and personalized and creating platforms that support health-care experts.

Who buys it?
Quite a few comic-book fans come in for titles from Marvel and others. I don't think the multiples are taking it, so that's even better.
How do you display it?
We put it right in the middle of our comic books.
A local newsagent, one close to my home in north London, has just enterprisingly offered us HND, leafleting our road, spreading their net a little further afield.
As well as newspapers, the shop is offering a magazine delivery service. I used to have the same thing when I was growing up when my local in Kent turned up every week with my dose of Marvel comics, Shoot and Roy of the Rovers.
Both my children recently received gift subscriptions for FourFourTwo, 110% Gaming and the excellent First News, and these are among the few things that can tempt them away from the PlayStation and the dreaded Fortnite game.
My younger son's latest subscription copies arrived on the same day during his half-term break, landing on the mat with a resounding thud, thanks to 110%'s welter of free gifts.
He downed the controller and ran to the door, knowing that the delivery was probably for him.
It's a shame our newsagent hadn't delivered before his grandmother had bought him the subscriptions for Christmas, but the leaflet and his reaction show the power of subscriptions for younger readers.
Newsagents pushing magazine deliveries to them will build loyal followers for years to come, getting them into the habit.
With all magazines pushing their own internal subscriber offers, cutting retail out of the chain, and special covers, it's good to see indies taking the initiative.
Right, I'm off to the store to order some newspapers and magazines.

Scalpels, lasers, even robotic arms: They are the tools of American surgeons, who perform 30 million operations a year - everything from life-saving organ transplants and Caesarean sections to cosmetic nose jobs and mole removals. Surgery sometimes takes place in a doctor's office, but most serious procedures are done in hospital operating rooms, where physicians and nurses have access to the best surgical and (if necessary) emergency equipment. No surgery is risk-free. Going to the hospital can be frightening, even under the best of circumstances, because patients must put their lives in the hands of others - often absolute strangers. Patients who participate as partners in managing their care do better: Knowing what to expect, what questions to ask and how to make a hospital stay more pleasant can reduce anxiety and speed healing. In this excerpt from the "Johns Hopkins Family Health Book" (HarperResource, $40), top medical editors and writers take patients through choosing a surgeon, anesthesia and what to expect in a typical surgery. Choosing a surgeon The decision to have surgery should only be made after careful consideration of your options. The first step is to explore the alternatives with your doctor. Questions you should review with your doctor, as well as with the surgeon: Why is the surgery being recommended? Are there alternative forms of treatment that might be tried first? What complications may develop? What is the risk of death from the surgery? How will the surgery improve your health and quality of life? How often are second or third revision surgeries necessary? It may be worthwhile to get a second opinion and, in some cases, your insurance company will insist on a second opinion before approving coverage. The more experienced your surgeon, the lower the risk. A qualified surgeon must be certified by a surgical board that has been approved by the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) and have successfully completed years of residency training in surgery and an examination approved by the ABMS. To find out if your surgeon is board-certified, call the ABMS at 1-800-776-2378. It is equally important to find out whether the surgeon has been subject to discipline, has had his license suspended, or has been the subject of a professional peer review. Most important, make sure your surgeon is affiliated with an accredited health-care facility. If your surgery is in an office or surgical clinic, make sure the doctor you choose has privileges at the local hospital in case an emergency admission is necessary. Whatever the procedure, have a frank discussion with your doctor regarding its risks, the possible outcomes and the changes in your quality of life. Ask for an honest appraisal. Also see if you can speak to people who have had the procedure, and attend a support group meeting, if possible. Anesthesia Most major surgical operations, particularly those involving the abdomen, chest and brain, will require general anesthesia. Regional or local anesthesia may be used for minor surgical procedures. General anesthesia will be administered while you are lying down in the operating room. You will be hooked up to an oxygen monitor and electrocardiograph (ECG) monitor, and a blood pressure cuff will be placed on your arm before the anesthesia is administered intravenously. Immediately after surgery you will remain in the recovery room, where your vital signs will be monitored. Spinal and epidural anesthesia may be used for surgeries that involve the lower half of the body, including Caesarean section, hip and knee surgery, surgery on the foot or leg, hernia repair and some prostate surgery. An epidural involves the injection of local anesthetic into the epidural space around the casing of the spinal cord. A spinal block usually involves a single injection through a lumbar puncture - a needle inserted between the vertebrae in the lower back. A spinal anesthetic takes effect more quickly than epidural anesthesia. Local anesthesia may be administered as a spray, gargle, cotton soak, gel ointment, or eye drop. Local infiltration (injection of an anesthetic with a very small needle) is often used for plastic surgeries, ear and eye procedures, and for stitching small cuts. Before surgery, discuss with your anesthesiologist how the anesthesia will affect you and whether you can choose one drug versus another. Anesthesiologists are also pain-relief experts. Your surgical experience Whatever your condition, there are things you can do to prepare your body and mind for surgery. If you smoke, try to quit. If you cannot quit, at least cut down on your smoking before your surgery to give your lungs an opportunity to increase their capacity to take in oxygen. Tell your doctor if you take birth control pills. You will probably be asked to stop. Tell your doctor if you take aspirin or ibuprofen, as they can inhibit the blood's ability to clot. Consult your doctor about the vitamins you take; ask whether the dosage should be increased. When you go to the hospital, bring items that will make your stay more pleasant, including a toothbrush, toothpaste, hairbrush and slippers. Women and men who suffer from dry skin may want to bring a moisturizer because hospital air tends to be dry. In and out If you are not already in the hospital, you will be admitted the day of the surgery or the night before. Often, admissions procedures take time. To avoid becoming more nervous, bring books and magazines to read or a personal cassette player. Once you have been admitted, the staff doctor or your own doctor will explain the surgery and ask you to sign a form giving your consent. Your anesthesiologist will also meet with you before the surgery. You will have to remove all your clothing and wear only a hospital gown. You will also be asked to remove your watch, rings, earrings and other jewelry as well as dentures, hearing aids, glasses or contact lenses, hairpieces and hairpins. If you wear nail polish, you should remove it. While you are waiting to be taken to the operating room, you will probably receive medication to relax you. Depending on the type of surgery, an operating-room escort will take you in a wheelchair, on a stretcher or in your bed. After your surgery, you will be taken to the recovery room. You may find your throat sore, your mouth dry. You may also have nausea and vomiting. Drinking will exacerbate your nausea, but you can request ice chips. Before you are discharged, ask your doctor or nurse about diet, any limitations in your daily routine, what medication you will be given and what medication you may take to control pain. You should also discuss care of the incision, warning signs of infection, precautions regarding bathing and showering, and followup care. Inquire about any limitations regarding your exercise routine. Blood letting & getting Before 1985 blood was tested only for hepatitis B and syphilis, but now each unit of donated blood undergoes eight tests for infectious diseases, including HIV and hepatitis C. The safest blood of all, however, is still your own. You can begin to donate your own blood up to six weeks before surgery. For example, you might give one unit of blood every week for six weeks before your surgery, because blood can be stored in its liquid form for 42 days.

Can you give me a short summary of The Great Gatsby in about 50 words max?

This is going to be tough. The fact that The Great Gatsby is considered to be a landmark of Western literature is a part of its difficulty. No matter what, any summary of fifty words is going to leave out essential parts and aspects. I am not sure it is possible to encapsulate its greatness and meaning in only fifty words. With this in mind, I think that a summary would have to focus only on Jay Gatsby:
Jay Gatsby is rich. He is in love with the idea that he can make Daisy love him. Gatsby represents new money, while Daisy represents the establishment. Gatsby uses his materialism to influence Daisy. His tale represents the frailty of wealth and popular social acceptance, and the emptiness within both.
With this summary, you lose Nick, Tom, Myrtle, George and Jordan. I am not sure how you can incorporate these essential characters with the fifty word limit. Being able to capture the set up between "old money" and "new money" drove the summary. The emptiness element was another aspect I wanted to include. However, I completely concede that there are some essential elements that are missing when you add the fifty word limit. However, within the structure that seems powerful and strong, there is a frailty, which I think is essential to both the summary and work in general.

Hoek van Holland, here we come !
On Friday morning I loaded my bicycle panniers on the luggage rack (spare parts and two-stroke oil on the left, clothing on the right above the exhaust), and stuck my motorcycle tank case on the tiny Quickly tank with its magnets. The tank case contained the paperwork, and an external power supply for my Garmin Zumo motorcycle navigation unit. Checked the tire pressure, kissed my wife goodbye and left around lunchtime for the worst prepared multi-day trip I had done so far.
The drive from my home to Hoek van Holland is about 120km. With my I-am-driving-on-my-own style that's about 3.5 hours, so not too bad. Halfway, in the middle of some fields, it started to rain. Within 10 minutes I reached some large enough trees, and donned the rain gear. I was very glad I had opted to pick a full-face helmet and not to take an open-faced one, as the rain did not stop until I reached the ferry. The green one and me drew some attention while waiting – the well-known remarks about (older) family who used to own an NSU back in the days, sprinkled with surprise about the fact that I was doing the trip on such a bike with no support unit in tow.
Well, I am not known for being a particularly clever person …

LAKEWOOD — Sketches and schematics of the new Lakewood High School are done, but construction won't start for nearly a year.
The first phase of work originally was set to start in July but has been pushed back to March 2016 so crews aren't stuck working in rainy weather if the project runs long, Superintendent Michael Mack said.
The work includes digging underground retention vaults for water runoff, installing utilities and paving some parking areas and an access road across the property. Those pieces are estimated to cost around $7 million and lay the groundwork for Phase Two, when the high school itself is built at the corner of 172nd Street Northeast and 11th Avenue Northeast.
"I would have liked to have seen some work this summer just so people can say, 'Oh, there it is,' " Mack said. "But I think it's more prudent to wait."
The new high school is being paid for with a $66.8 million bond approved by voters in April 2014. The district originally requested the money for a renovation of the existing high school. The school board decided last year to instead build a new school since the price fit within the bond amount.
Plans call for a tall, glass entryway that will glow for the community like a lighthouse, Mack said. There will be a new performing arts center that can be used for music and drama classes as well as community events.
An auxiliary gym and a practice room for wrestling and gymnastics more than double the space for indoor sports, which currently share one high school gym. The cafeteria is to be expanded with more space and equipment for different food options.
The campus is keeping the same entrances and exits for cars and buses, but a new roundabout planned at the corner of 172nd and 11th could ease traffic by letting people loop around and turn right into the school rather than requiring them to stop during peak traffic times to wait on a left turn, Mack said.
Some of the most important changes in the new high school are related to safety, he said. All classrooms will be located inside of the building and there will be fewer exterior doors, according to the designs.
Currently, the high school has seven portable classrooms and 45 outside doors, making it difficult to control access. The new building also is expected to have safety gates that can lock down different wings of the school.
About 725 students attend Lakewood High School, and the new building is designed to hold 825. It will be about 160,000 square feet. The current building is about 89,000 square feet, but that doesn't include portables and outdoor walkways. The new auxiliary gym and wrestling room also add a lot of square-footage, Mack said.
The goal is to have the high school complete by September 2017 so students can start that school year in the new building. That means next summer will be busy with construction.
"Early June next year, it'll be all hands on deck," Mack said.
From June 2016 until September 2017, crews will be building the new high school next to the current building, which later will be demolished. There may be some traffic and noise disruptions during the 2016-17 school year.
The district posts updates about the new high school online at www.lwsd.wednet.edu.

December 2013 Hammish General Election
The December 2013 General Election in the Commonwealth of Hamland was simulated on the 4th of December 2013 and gave the most seats to the Social Liberal Party. The election occurred at the beginning of Hamland's policies against Jingdao and this meant that the previous government continued due to the crisis. This meant that Duke Sinclair of the PIP remained Prime Minister.
Later that term the Prime Minister died in office leaving the position of Prime Minister to the previous PM; Lord Lewis.
This electoral term was notable for the continuing work on providing a multi-lateral response to the Jingdao threat, the reintroduction of Royal National Bank, being the first election with Neo Patrova as a member alongside a number of international treaties being signed by the Commonwealth. Neo Patrova's entry gave an important boost to the SLP's support helping them win the election.
It was preceded by the November 2013 Hammish General Election and succeeded by the January 2014 Hammish General Election.

There's a time for work, and there's a time for play. Wise words from parents, coaches, teachers — basically any authority figure will tell you to separate these two words. But sometimes, on those rare occasions, you find that you've made all the right choices that allow you to play for a living — so you never have to work again…or you're a dog.

Mr John Dexter blogs about school
As a new head back in January I chose a theme for 2015. We are a church school and the previous head had been at the school 28 years as a deputy then as a head. He often told the children he "loved" them and they genuinely agreed. SO I long pondered on faith, hope and love BUT decided on…..
hopefor a number of reasons but three compellingly convinced me:
1) I genuinely believe we need all need hope, and I ordered a copy of the Banksy shown here -well a copy not the original, for the office. "There is always hope" I wanted it up on the wall to point to and present for anyone who came my way be they upset, coping with tough stuff or on the edge of bad stuff.

Baby Girl A***** has a name! I was so surprised as I totally thought she was going to be Evie or even Josie. Nope, Shelby and the name is just perfect for her! You look at her and she is Shelby, no doubt about it!!! She is so beautiful!!! I know I said all her stats already but, here they are again:
5lbs 60z
So tiny! She was sleeping pretty much the whole time I held her and you would have thought she was a baby doll with how tiny and still she was!!! Adorable!! Mimi is doing awesome, a bit tired but you seriously would never have guessed she just had a baby! I'm so glad that I got to spend some time with her and Shelagh and meet baby Shelby! Emma-Grace was too cute and she was holding Shelby when I got there. Then Jonathan, his parents Gary and Barb and Emma went home. Mimi's brother Mark and his friend Michael came by and then Shelagh. It was nice to just hold Shelby and hang out! Such a little miracle!!! Here are some pictures!

Roger Stone just blew it with the judge
Last week, Judge Amy Berman Jackson gave Roger Stone and his lawyers until today to explain why they never bothered to tell her that Stone was releasing a book about the criminal case against him, which appears to be in violation of his gag order. Stone and his legal team filed a response just now, and suffice it to say that they blew it.
The judge laid out several specific questions about the timing and circumstances of how the book launch came together. In response, Roger Stone's lawyers are insisting that this is merely a newly released edition of an existing book, and that Stone wasn't aware it had been re-released until he found out from a friend that it was newly on sale in bookstores. Okay, unlikely, but theoretically plausible. Then they blew it.
Here's what Roger Stone's lawyers said in conclusion in the lengthy new filing: "There was/is no intention to hide anything. The new introduction, post February 21, 2019, presented a question we tried, obviously clumsily, to address. Having been scolded, we seek only to defend Mr. Stone and move ahead without further ado." Wait, what?
When a federal judge is trying to make a decision about whether to throw you in jail through the end of your trial, and she's already reluctantly given you a few earlier chances, which you also blew, the last thing you want to do is to talk condescendingly to the judge, and belittle her concerns. This court filing sounds like a punk kid trying to look cool after he got in trouble with the teacher. It won't fly.
Roger Stone may be newly emboldened by the fact that his longtime friend and partner in crime Paul Manafort recently received an overly lenient four year sentence from crackpot Judge TS Ellis. But there is no indication that Judge Jackson sees Stone in any sort of sympathetic light. Stone is playing with fire here, and he just blew it. Now we'll find out on Thursday how badly he's blown it, when the judge issues her ruling.

Plot :
Roderica Delamore has a "gift." Cursed with the unwanted ability to hear the thoughts of others, she is dedicated to raising her family's prize thoroughbreds and resigned to living without love. But one man's mind is inexplicably closed to her: a mysterious Irish rogue who may be the lover she has been dreaming of her entire life.
They call Faelan Savigar "the Devil Earl" -- a handsome, impoverished lord damned by dark rumor and whispered innuendo. But the secrets Faelan hides within are what stir Roderica's desire -- and her need to experience the intoxicating ecstasy of his kiss. But be he liar, swindler, or worse, Roderica knows she can have no other -- and she will trust this enigmatic stranger with her life ... and her heart.

Black Ointment is amazing!
I visited Planet Bee in early October and purchased a number of things, including Black Ointment with Propolis. I intended to use it for my winter eczema, to cut down on the use of cortisone creams, which I know are not very good for us. It works wonderfully, and I recently gave it to a friend who had accidentally poured boiling water on her hand -- it eased the pain instantly and the next day her hand was no longer even red!

The report summarises the results of detailed transport network modelling undertaken by Veitch Lister Consulting on behalf of Infrastructure Australia for the 2019 Australian Infrastructure Audit. The modelling was undertaken for the nation's six largest urban conurbations, defined as an extended urban area.
The Walkerston Bypass Project is for a 10-kilometre link between the Peak Downs Highway and the Mackay Ring Road to bypass Walkerston and provide a more efficient link from the northern Bowen Basin to Mackay.
The business case is for duplicating a 10.5km section of the Bruce Highway south of Cairns to create a four-lane highway. It is the third stage of the Cairns Southern Access Corridor program.
The business case involves widening the M1 Pacific Motorway from four to six lanes in each direction, constructing a northbound off ramp from the M1 to Southport – Burleigh Road, upgrading on and off ramps, and upgrading cycling and pedestrian access.
The business case seeks to widen the nine-kilometre section of the M1 Pacific Motorway from six to eight lanes, consolidating on and off ramps, developing managed motorway technology, and extending the South East Busway to Springwood.
This assessment brief outlines the Western Australian Government's proposal to widen a section of the North West Coastal Highway in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. The project will improve the efficiency and safety of freight and other vehicles on the highway by widening the sealed section and creating improved flood immunity to support the operation of wide and heavy vehicles. The Western Australian Government is seeking $143.2 million in Commonwealth funding for the project.
This assessment brief outlines the Queensland Government's plan to modify existing road space for bus lanes to connect high-growth suburbs to the metropolitan public transport network and CBD. The new bus lanes will improve access to jobs, education and services.
This assessment brief outlines the Queensland Government's plan for the core Cross River Rail project. The project will provide the necessary infrastructure to support the transformation of Brisbane into Australia's third internationally competitive city and support critical freight networks. An updated capital cost of $4,445 million was announced publicly by the Queensland Government in late June 2012. The Queensland Government is seeking $3.33 billion of Commonwealth funding for the project.
This assessment brief outlines the Western Australian Government's proposal to build approximately 1.8 kilometres of dual carriageway and undertake a major intersection reconfiguration along the Leach Highway (High Street) in East Fremantle between Carrington Street and the Stirling Highway. The upgrade will reduce delays for freight vehicles, improve road capacity and improve network amenity along a section of urban arterial road. The Western Australian Government is seeking $57.2 million in Commonwealth funding for the project.
This assessment brief outlines the Queensland Government's plan to upgrade the Ipswich Motorway between Rocklea and Darra. The upgrade will improve travel times and reliability for freight travelling on the Ipswich Motorway between Rocklea and Darra. The Rocklea to Darra section of the Ipswich Motorway is the final stage of the six-stage upgrade of the Ipswich Motorway. This is the first time Infrastructure Australia has received a submission for the sixth stage, Rocklea to Darra. The Queensland Government is seeking $558 million in Commonwealth funding for the project.

If you're asking the question, "How long can I safely take diflucan for? then you probably haven't spoken to your doctor yet. Diflucan is a powerful anti fungal drug that should only be taken under the guidance of your doctor. Although diflucan can easily be purchased online it doesn't make it a safe drug that can be taken when you feel you need to take it.
Size of the dosage
Diflucan comes in different strengths, and the course of treatment needs to set by your doctor. If you take the wrong strength for the incorrect amount of time then you can easily create a super fungus in your body that will become difficult to remove.
The Candida yeast mutates into an aggressive fungus, and in this form it can become resistant to anti fungal drugs if they are not taken properly. If the drugs are taken for a too short period of time then the fungus won't be fully killed, and then the surviving fungus will become resistant.
Resistant yeast
Once the Candida yeast becomes resistant it will be almost impossible to treat with any drugs. The yeast will completely take over your body, and your body's friendly bacteria won't be able to keep it under control.
This is the point when doctors can no longer help you as no drugs will be able to treat you. They will only make your infection worse, and make the Candida stronger.
One course should be enough
One course as directed by your doctor should be enough to cure your yeast infection. If it doesn't then there is a reason that your body is allowing the harmless Candida mutate into a fungus. Until you discover the reason you won't be able to cure yourself. If you're seeing your doctor then he/she can rule out any causes such as a health issue or another medication you're taking.
Other causes of chronic yeast infections are poor diet and a weakened immune system. A poor diet that lacks nutrition and is high in sugar and refined carbohydrates will feed the yeast. And a weak immune system will allow the yeast to take over your body without being able to put up a fight.
See your doctor always
If you're thinking about taking diflucan or have been taking it unsupervised it's important you see your doctor. Only a doctor knows what strength to take and for how long.

I am quite certain there are numerous fans of the BERNINA domestic sewing machine reading this, am I right? What's not to love about this amazing piece of technology? I should be hearing crickets right about now because I am aware how valuable the domestic machine is with the ability to acclimate the foot to sewing needs. That incredulous feature enables the crafter to adjust the foot to whatever best suits their sewing situation. Whether one utilizes the 1/4″ foot or the zipper foot, having options is really pretty awesome. Well, BERNINA hasn't stopped there, they have gone the extra distance and now that beautiful feature is incorporated into the BERNINA Longarm.
