Sony XB650BT
Sony has been around since 1946 and is one of the most recognizable brands in the world today. From creating the world's first portable music device, the Walkman in the 1970s, to creating computer devices and video recorders, this brand has paved the way for the electronics industry to blossom. They are often the first to introduce new technology and their line-up today includes items like televisions, robots, cameras, speakers, the PlayStation video gaming console and, of course, headphones.
Today we're going to look at the Sony XB650BT headphones. This seemingly random combination of letters and numbers in the title of this product actually serves a purpose. 'XB' refers to the Xtra Bass technology that the company has outfitted these headphones with. '650' is the product number and 'BT' refers to the fact that these employ Bluetooth technology. Sony's Xtra Bass series extends beyond just headphones, too. They also offer speakers that utilize their XB technology as well, ensuring they're able to provide a bass-heavy listening experience to consumers in more ways than just through their headphone line up.
Let's take a deeper look into what these headphones have to offer and if that XB technology is all it's cracked up to be.
-Great for music with a lot of bass
-Long battery life
-Simple pairing process
-Charges quickly
-Relatively inexpensive
-No distortion at maximum volume
-Can feel snug after extended use
-Short charging cord
-No dedicated headphone jack
-Microphone not the greatest quality

Today I thought I would share Alex's 3 top favourite books so far.
This one isn't much of a fav now – but it was huge when we first brought him home: Perfect Pets from the Bright Baby series. This is a touch and feel book that goes over various pets that one may have and has tactile sections for the child to tough – the goldfish scales are really cool! We have quite a few of the Bright Baby books and Alex really enjoys all of them.
Panda Bear, Panda Bear, What Do You See? by Bill Martin Jr and Eric Carle. This fun book goes over all different wild animals, seeing what they might see – in the end it is a dreaming child watching over them. I like to say it with a bouncy rhythm. I just love all Eric Carle books – I think it is the nostalgic feelings I get from remembering reading them as a child myself – especially The Very Hungry Caterpillar!
And last by not least – Bunny's Noisy Book by Margaret Wise Brown. This has to be Alex's all time favourite so far. He sits very still while you read it to him. He is also now doing some of the actions that I put into the book like stretching, scratching etc. It really is just a cute, well written story by an amazing author.
One that I'm newly fond of too is Sometimes I Like to Curl up in a Ball by Vicki Churchill and Charles Fuge. We have it out from the library right now – but I have to get our own copy – it is just adorable.
What is your child's favourite book?

Zero Procrastination online course by Karen Kingston
August 4, 2019 - August 25, 2019160.00AUD
This 21-day online course will teach you how to restructure your life top down, overcome procrastination, and get things done.
An important feature in the life of any high achiever, spiritual seeker, or anyone genuinely wishing to make a difference in this world, is to go through a phase of Zero Procrastination from time to time as an exercise in building willpower. This means working through the backlog of things you need to do, and doing every single one of them.
Procrastination falls into the "anything unfinished" category of clutter and, like other more tangible types of clutter, it can weigh you down and hold you back. When you finally get moving and just do it, major reservoirs of energy are unlocked. You discover it actually takes more energy NOT to do something than to engage your will, roll up your sleeves, and get on with it.
Who the course is for
This course is for people who have already done a fair amount of basic clutter clearing and feel ready to step up to the next level of excellence in whatever they do. If you still have a lot of clutter clearing to do, it would be best to take Karen's Fast Track Clutter Clearing course first. However, it is also possible to take the Zero Procrastination course without having taken any of her other courses, if you decide that this is the best starting point for you.
How the course is structured
The course will be spread over a 21-day period, allowing three days for the completion of each of the seven steps, so that if life gets busy you will still be able to keep up, and whichever world time zone you live in, you will be able to participate with ease. To get the most from the course, it is recommended that you make a post to the message board every three days to report on the progress you have made or ask any questions you may have.
The course content will be tailored to the participants taking it. It will consist entirely of text posts, with the option to upload photos, and you will be able to log on at any time of the day or night to read and make posts.

What is OpenMDAO?
OpenMDAO is an open-source high-performance computing platform for efficient optimization, written in Python. It helps you perform design optimization at least 10 times faster, via the use of state-of-the-art techniques and efficient parallelization.
Why Use OpenMDAO?
The OpenMDAO project is focused on supporting gradient-based optimization with analytic derivatives. This allows you to explore design spaces with hundreds or thousands of design variables very fast. The framework also has a number of parallel computing features that can work with gradient-free optimization, mixed-integer nonlinear programming, and traditional design space exploration.

Naylor}, Doi = {10.1007/s00158-019-02211-z}, Journal = {Structural and Multidisciplinary Optimization}, Month = {April}, Number = {4}, Pages = {1075--1104}, Title = {{OpenMDAO}: An open-source framework for multidisciplinary design, analysis, and optimization}, Volume = {59}, Year = {2019}}
Getting Started with OpenMDAO
Installation Instructions:
From your python environment (we recommend Anaconda), just type:
>> pip install openmdao[all]
Sample Optimization File
Here is a simple example run file to get you started running your first optimization. Copy the following code into a file named paraboloid_min.py:
import openmdao.api as om # build the model prob = om.Problem() indeps = prob.model.add_subsystem('indeps', om.IndepVarComp()) indeps.add_output('x', 3.0) indeps.add_output('y', -4.0) prob.model.add_subsystem('paraboloid', om.ExecComp('f = (x-3)**2 + x*y + (y+4)**2 - 3')) prob.model.connect('indeps.x', 'paraboloid.x') prob.model.connect('indeps.y', 'paraboloid.y') prob.driver = om.ScipyOptimizeDriver() prob.driver.options['optimizer'] = 'SLSQP' prob.model.add_design_var('indeps.x', lower=-50, upper=50) prob.model.add_design_var('indeps.y', lower=-50, upper=50) prob.model.add_objective('paraboloid.f') prob.setup() prob.run_driver() # minimum value print(prob['paraboloid.f']) # location of the minimum print(prob['indeps.x']) print(prob['indeps.y'])
Then, to run the file, simply type:
>> python paraboloid_min.py
If all works as planned, results should appear as such:
Optimization terminated successfully. (Exit mode 0)
Current function value: -27.333333333333336
Iterations: 5
Function evaluations: 6
Gradient evaluations: 5

Kaingo has 6 charming chalets...
Kaingo Camp: Our full report
The well-established Kaingo Camp overlooks the Luangwa River from beneath an old grove of ebony trees. Owned by Derek Shenton and his family, it's one of the few independent camps remaining in South Luangwa National Park. Derek, and his engaging wife Jules, live in Lusaka and are very involved in running the camp, visiting frequently and sometimes helping out with the guiding.
There are six brick-and-thatch chalets at Kaingo, five standard and one family chalet, all of which have uninterrupted river views and their own private deck built over the river, where a light lunch is often served.
The chalets were renovated in 2017 and now have large stone verandas outside under a reed shade roof, with a day bed scattered with cushions, and a table and chairs. Decorated in light cream and blue tones, with locally designed Tribal Textiles fabrics, the chalets feature thatched roofs, stone floors with woven rugs, and sliding pale wood and mesh doors, providing plenty of light into the spacious rooms.
Furniture, from the large wooden shelving unit to the chunky headboards, is locally made, and the very comfortable beds – either twin or king-sized – are covered with cream and blue bedcovers, and surrounded by walk-in mosquito nets.
Solar-powered lamps are placed on dressing tables beside the beds, and in the cupboard you'll find African-print dressing gowns, a wooden box to lock away your valuables plus mosquito repellant and insect spray for the room, plus a whistle, for attracting attention in case of an emergency. On the walls are framed black-and-white photos, taken by Jules, a keen wildlife photographer.
Each chalet has an en-suite bathroom with a shower, flushing toilet and basin, with hot water available all day, while outside under shady trees is a secluded outdoor bath.
The family chalet, also extensively updated in 2017, is set slightly further away from the main area, under a grove of towering Natal mahogany trees. Overlooking the river, the spacious master bedroom has an en-suite bathroom with indoor and outdoor showers and a separate bathtub. An inter-leading door connects the bedroom to the lounge and a separate cloakroom, which makes for either a roomy relaxation area for couples, or a children's bedroom - for family bookings, there is space for up to 4 single beds in this area, though we think it works best with just 3.
With it's own private butler, plus optional private dining and private vehicle access, it's designed to cater for either couples looking for a more exclusive experience or to families or a group of friends.
Towards the river are private shaded decks that overlook the river, one for each chalet. Comfortable chairs and a table make these a great spot to sit and watch the river activity during the afternoon siesta.
Kaingo's lounge and dining area, locally known as a chitenge, has a thatched roof and open sides with an airy and cool feel to it. At its heart is an amazing bar crafted from the huge trunk of an ancient leadwood tree – which has been in the camp since we first visited in 1995. A sofa and light-coloured directors' chairs are arranged around a coffee table set with wildlife books and magazines, and to one side is a large wooden dining table, which is lit by lanterns at night. Just outside is the campfire, where tea and coffee are served in the early morning. A short distance behind the chitenge is a little curio shop.
Below the chitenge, built out over the river, is the lounge deck, a lovely, spacious spot with a number of comfortable chairs and sofas, several nature books, and a telescope for observing the birds and any animals along the riverbank.
Unlike most safari camps, Kaingo usually operates three activities per day. These include game drives (day and night) and walking safaris, all run by excellent guides.
There is a high density of game and birdlife in the Kaingo area, which you can enjoy from open-topped 4WD vehicles. Derek has also personally seen to grading the roads in their area, which makes for a smoother ride than usual on game drives. For keen photographers, Kaingo provides clamp stabilisers, beanbags and camera dust covers on the vehicles, and they never take more than two guests per row of seats – so you're guaranteed a 'window' seat. (Their vehicles typically have three rows with three seats in each, but the middle seat in each row is usually empty, and handy as a place to put 'kit'.)
The area around Kaingo Camp is fantastic for game, and on our most recent visit, in September 2017, we saw plenty of elephant, buffalo, puku, kudu, and lion (including the large 'Hollywood' pride, so called because they have been the focus of so many nature documentaries). Particular highlights included watching two leopards fighting over an impala kill, and three young lion cubs learning to play fight with each other.
Kaingo Camp also has a number of stunning photographic hides, which will form the basis of your third activity. These include the carmine bee-eater hide (best in September and October), which is normally a boat moored in front of a carmine colony. There is also the two-tier hippo hide, built into the riverbank beside a deep hippo-filled pool, as well as the elephant hide, overlooking a spot where elephants often cross the Luangwa River. On our last visit, a further 'mobile hide' had been set up overlooking a natural waterhole just back from the main riverbed, where we watched white-fronted bee-eaters hawking for insects, and a huge breeding herd of elephants intimidating a mischievous group of baboons. These hides help to make Kaingo a really good choice for photographers; indeed, we're told that a BBC cameraman who spent ten days in their hippo hide said it was the best hide he'd ever used for filming.
The Elephant Hide Star Bed, for exclusive use of Kaingo's guests, is a wonderful viewing platform just next to a main elephant crossing point. Sometimes visited during the day to watch the elephants, it's more commonly used for sleep outs – a magical experience, and one we'll never forget! From your bed up on a wooden platform high in a tree, you'll lie under your mosquito net, listening to the whooping hyena, chorus of cicadas and elephants munching. Then wake in the morning to ground hornbills 'banging their drums'. Speak to us if you'd like to include this experience in your visit.
Since 2007, Derek and Jules have been working in collaboration with Mrs Hilda Hampondo on the Hanada Project, which helps orphans and vulnerable children in the Mfuwe area. Over the years, the project has resulted in the completion of a pre-school and a vegetable garden, which supplies the children with one good meal a day. The orphanage is now run in conjunction with Project Luangwa, a collaboration between several camps in the area, and visits to the projects are also an option from camp.
The Kaingo Camp team is very flexible about activities. If there's a particular hide that you want to visit, or activity that you want to do, then it is important that you make this clear to the managers when you arrive … and chat with them about when this can be arranged.
Note that Kaingo combines naturally with its sister camp, Mwamba Bushcamp, which is only a morning's walk or game drive away.
Our viewIf there is a 'cookie-cutter template' for a safari camp, Derek and Jules have always ignored it; Kaingo operates with a style of its own – which we find a refreshing change. It's a welcoming camp, very informal and with a very relaxed feel. We've found the service to be personal, the guides engaging and knowledgeable, and the game activities well organised and productive. We love having three activities a day, and the enthusiasm that goes into these, and the hides add an extra dimension to a safari here, especially for keen photographers.
Location: South Luangwa National Park, Zambia
Ideal length of stay: We recommend a minimum of 3 nights, although 5–8 nights would be ideal for a combined stay at Kaingo and its sister camp, Mwamba Bushcamp – and possibly a sleep-out night.
Directions: Fly to Mfuwe airport and transfer by road to camp. The drive, partly through villages and partly through the national park, takes approximately three hours.
Accessible by: Fly-and-Transfer
Key personnel
Owner: Derek & Jules Shenton
Food & drink
Usual board basis: Full Board
Food quality: We've visited Kaingo Camp many times, most recently in September 2017, and each time their food has been very good. The kitchen is able to cater for vegetarian and vegan requests, as well as a range of dietary requirements. We particularly like the fact that they grow most of their own fruit and vegetables on their private property in Mfuwe, which means it is delivered fresh to the camp on a regular basis.
Breakfast, usually tea, coffee, fruit and freshly baked pancakes or muffins, is served around the campfire before the early-morning activity.
Brunch is served on your return, around 11.00am, and is generally served buffet style. As well as continental breakfast options, including French toast with home-made chocolate peanut butter, we were able to choose from a chickpea and date salad, chicken and vegetable skewers, pork sausages and grilled tomatoes, cherry tomato quiche and fish cakes with a herby dipping sauce.
Afternoon tea, with freshly baked cake or scones, and often a savoury option, along with a choice of tea, coffee or homemade iced rooibos tea, is served on the lounge deck, before heading out on your evening game activity.
In the evening, there are drinks at the leadwood bar before dinner at around 8.30pm. Served from a set menu, a refreshing chilled pea and mint soup to start with was ideal, given the heat of the day, and was followed with jerk chicken breasts, served with crushed garlic potatoes and green beans. For dessert we enjoyed a brandy chocolate cake with fresh orange and crème fraîche.
Dining style: Group Meals
Dining locations: Indoor and Outdoor Dining
Cost of meal e.g. lunch: Included
Drinks included: Filtered drinking water, soft and alcoholic drinks are included at Kaingo Camp.
Further dining info: Room service is not available.
Special interests
Birdwatching: The main deck at Kaingo and your private deck looking over the Luangwa River are great spots for birdwatching in Zambia. Between September and October, you can spot thousands of carmine bee-eaters from a special hide located below a nest site in the riverbank.See more ideas for Birdwatching in Zambia
Photography holidays: With specialist hides for carmine bee-eaters, hippos, elephants and general wildlife, Kaingo is ideal for photography holidays in Zambia. Their vehicles have beanbags and dust covers, and the guides have been trained how to position vehicles with photographers in mind.See more ideas for Photography holidays in Zambia
Wildlife safaris: Kaingo is in an area of South Luangwa National Park with high densities of more common species, as well as endemics such as Crawshay's zebra, Cookson's wildebeest and Thornicroft giraffe, making this an excellent spot for wildlife safaris in Zambia.See more ideas for Wildlife safaris in Zambia
Attitude towards children: Kaingo is happy to consider children over the age of 10 who are sensible and well-behaved.. Families with children under 12 years are required to have their own private vehicle, and the under-12s are not permitted to join walking safaris.
Property's age restrictions: Kaingo Camp prefers children over 10 years of age.
Special activities & services: Children receive a Kaingo Kids activity booklet on arrival.
Equipment: Kaingo has a dedicated family chalet, which can accommodate a family of up to six people.
Generally recommended for children: This is a wild camp that is better suited to older children, due to the activities on offer.
Notes: Children will need to be constantly supervised by their parents as the camp is on the edge of the Luangwa River – often with steep drops – and is not fenced, so animals do roam through.
Power supply: Solar Power
Power supply notes: Kaingo has a back-up generator on site. UK-style 3-pin sockets are located in each of the rooms for charging batteries.
Communications: This is a bush camp so you should consider yourself out of communication for the duration of your stay. There is no cellphone reception, but Kaingo has a phone and internet for office use, which can be used by guests in an emergency.
TV & radio: There are no radios or TV's here.
Water supply: Borehole
Water supply notes: Showers, baths and handbasins are plumbed in with hot and cold water available. There are flush toilets in each bathroom.
Supporting education for Zimbabwe's orphans
Translated as 'place of the leopard', Kiango Camp is known for the well-established network of photographic hides, offering outstanding game concentrations while keeping away from mass tourism. With a history of three generations of wildlife conservation in Southern Africa, the owners of Kiango Camp made supporting the local community is a top priority.
Project Hanada is perhaps the leading light of the camp's commitment to responsible tourism, which involved building a pre-school to help the orphans in the Mfuwe region. Funded directly by the owners and supplemented by guest donations, the project consisted of three phases - sinking a well for clean drinking water, constructing an office building, a long-drop toilet and a place for the children to play and eat. The camp owners also donated their tailor to teach several local ladies how to make items to sell at a local craft market, thus generating an ongoing source of income for the project and employment.
To maintain consistent funding for the project, in 2009 Kiango Camp partnered up with other like-minded lodges to form Project Luangwa. The charity oversees multiple community projects such as the building of schools and sponsoring of children in need, and is funded by the conservation and community levy charged by the participating lodges.
Project Luangwa has a policy of encouraging the community to manage their own projects to decrease reliance on aid. Therefore, the final stage of the Hanada Project consisted in making sure the community can run a business to support a pre-school for orphans and vulnerable children. Seven sewing machines have been provided and local ladies have formed a committee and plan to make items for sale such as school uniforms and other clothing.
Today, Hanada is totally managed and further developed by the community under the guidance of His Highness Chief Mnkhanya.
Health & safety
Malarial protection recommended: Yes
Medical care: The closest doctor is in Mfuwe (1¼ hours' fast drive away). For emergencies Kaingo has links to a flying-doctor service.
Canoe transfer warning: Canoe river crossings are arranged on transfers between Kaingo Camp and Tafika or Nsefu camps. Guests, assisted by the Kaingo team, will transfer across the Luangwa River on a canoe taking 1-3 minutes. Please be aware that no life jackets are provided for this crossing.
Dangerous animals: High Risk
Security measures: Guests are not allowed to walk around alone after dark and are escorted to their chalets at night. There is a whistle next to each bed in case of an emergency.
Fire safety: There are fire extinguishers in the main area, kitchen, and behind each chalet. Fire hoses are also dotted around the site.
Disabled access: On Request
Laundry facilities: A complimentary laundry service is included, except for ladies' underwear, for which washing powder is provided in the bathrooms.
Money: No exchange facilities are offered.
Accepted payment on location: The camp is unable to take card payments. Payments for any extras may be made in cash; ideally in Zambian kwacha, but US dollars,UK pounds and euros are also accepted.

While renter's insurance can be critical in protecting your tenants in the event of a fire or break-in, a surprising number of renters choose to forgo renter's insurance. This is often due to the fact that tenants do not realize how costly it can be to replace their belongings in the event of a fire or robbery, and it can also be due to a misconception amongst renters that their landlord's homeowners insurance will cover them in such an incidence; however, this is not the case.
Why It's Important
By requiring that your tenants have insurance, you will not only be helping to ensure that they are protected, but you will also be helping to protect yourself in the event that a break-in, fire, or natural disaster occurs. If you currently do not require your tenants to possess renter's insurance, we will be discussing over the course of our next two posts the reasons why it is important that you do so.
It Reduces The Threat of Lawsuits
Perhaps the most important reason for landlords to require their tenants to have renter's insurance is that this will protect them from a lawsuit. Unfortunately, if there is a fire or break-in at your rental property, this may leave you vulnerable to being sued by your tenants if they do not have insurance. After discovering that their belongings are not covered by your homeowner's insurance, many tenants may try to come after you for damages. However, if you require all of your tenants to have renter's insurance, this will mitigate the threat of lawsuits as tenants will be covered by their insurance.
Additionally, if your tenants do not have insurance you may also be vulnerable to being sued if a tenant's guest becomes injured on your property. Without an insurance company to file a claim against, the injured party may try to come after you for the costs of their medical bills. Renter's insurance then ensures that you and your tenants are protected no matter what happens.
Requiring tenants at all of your rental properties to possess renter's insurance is critical in protecting you from the threat of a costly lawsuit. Keep reading to find out more about the reasons why it is critical that your renters have insurance. If you would to like to discuss your options for tenant insurance please call us at 561-732-9305 our quoting hours are Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 5:30 PM.

Tools We Use - Zoho CRM
By Joel Baglien, VP Business Development
June 25, 2018
TOOLS WE USE - ZohoCRM
Zoho has developed a great online CRM – it is both easy to use and can be highly customized.
Zoho (https://www.zoho.com) provides a suite of online tools including a CRM app that we started using at High Monkey about three years ago. We had previously used other CRM tools and each of them had limitations around usability, customization, and reporting. What we found with ZohoCRM was a more intuitive interface, the ability to easily customize only what we needed, and reporting that both made sense and was customizable. In this blog post, I will introduce you to the two primary areas that sales teams in most organizations will spend a majority of their time . . . Leads and Opportunities.
First, a couple of definitions that we use at High Monkey (your organization's interpretation may vary).
A Contact is a person from an organization that may have expressed interest, dropped off a business card at an event, opted in to your mailing list, or filled out an online form. We use Contacts as a 'catch-all' of bare-bones information about people or organizations – a repository of unrefined data.
A Lead is a person with whom we may have had a conversation or about whom some research has happened (e.g. – LinkedIn, website, search, etc.) as a way of 'vetting' whether the person could become a client. Leads are where we track initial phone and email contacts with a person or 'reaches' into an organization. We spend a lot of time working with Leads.
An Opportunity is an individual who is at a more serious stage of conversation or consultation, and who is likely to receive a proposal of some kind in the future (i.e. – you can almost smell the money 😊). Opportunities are assigned an anticipated close date, so they require daily or weekly monitoring, nurturing, and updating.
Let's start with Leads.
To view Leads, the ZohoCRM global navigation bar lets you customize for the links you use most often. You can select a pre-defined view of leads or you can easily create a custom view (for example – a view of only those Leads that are assigned to you). If you are part of a sales team, you can share custom views that you create.
ZohoCRM remembers the last view of leads you were using however, Leads can be sorted dynamically by column headers. The small up arrow next to the column name means the Ascending or an A-Z view has been selected – naturally there is a Descending (Z-A) view to help you find what you need quickly.
Creating a new lead is as easy as clicking a '+' button on the top right of the Leads page.
Leads can be populated from a list by importing a CSV file and mapping the fields to those in ZohoCRM.
When creating a new lead, it will automatically be assigned to the person who creates it. You can change the 'Lead Owner' by selecting another person from your sales team. Fill out a handful of information fields on the 'Create Lead' page and save. That's it.
Clicking on a Lead name takes you to a Lead detail page for that person. You can edit any of the primary information about the person, the Lead Owner, or Lead Status. An additional level of editing is available for field such as details, address, and description information about the Lead
Two of the most useful data fields for individual Leads are Notes and Open Activities.
Each Lead provides a text area titled 'Add a note . . .' Notes are simple keyboard entry or cut and paste. The latter is helpful if you want to add the text of an email or pre-existing text (OneNote or another text source). Notes are automatically date and time stamped and display the most recent note first.
ZohoCRM allows you the option to create a follow up Task for any Lead and you can view all your Tasks in the 'ACTIVITES' area within ZohoCRM. The 'Open Activities' area is where you can set reminder Tasks for yourself to follow up with a Lead.
When you create a Task, it receives a descriptive name in the 'Subject' field, a due date, a priority, and an owner. The 'Priority' and 'Owner' fields allow you to select from customized drop-down lists. Reminders can also be set for each Task and they can repeat daily, weekly, etc. as either pop-ups or email alerts.
Moving on to Opportunities
While you can create an Opportunity directly in ZohoCRM, the most efficient way to create an Opportunity is to convert a Lead that you have nurturing. In the Leads view. It's a simple process of clicking on the Lead name and selecting the green 'Convert' button on the Lead page.
The 'Convert Lead' screen is shown below. Noteworthy actions in the conversion process are:
• Both a New Account and a New Contact are created when you convert a Lead.
• During the conversion process you can edit the 'Opportunity Name', add information to the 'Closing Date', 'Stage', and 'Contact Role' fields.
• The new Opportunity is assigned an Owner – this could be you or someone on your sales team.
You will see a confirmation screen if the conversion is successful and the Opportunity will be available to view and work with in ZohoCRM's Opportunities area.
The benefit of converting a Lead to an Opportunity is that the Lead becomes associated as the Contact Person and all previous Notes move forward with the Opportunity.
Within ZohoCRM, the process of editing an Opportunity and creating follow up Tasks, follows the same process and rules as Leads.
The primary difference between a Lead and an Opportunity is the 'Stage' information. You can change the Stage by clicking on one of the circles – this process allows you to move an Opportunity through the process until it becomes 'Closed Won' (YAY!) or 'Closed Lost' (BOO!). Hovering your mouse cursor over a Stage circle will display a caption for the Stage as shown below for 'Closed Won'. The 'Discovery Call' Stage is selected.
Let's Go Home
Working backward, ZohoCRM also provides a very 'Data-Rich' Home Page
The ZohoCRM Home Page allows you to add and arrange content widgets (ZohoCRM calls them 'Components'). As head of Sales for High Monkey, I have the following Components displaying on my Home Page: Open Tasks, Todays Leads, Closing This Month, Pipeline by Stage, Pipeline by Probability, Leads by Status, Sales by Account, Opportunities by Type, and YTD Closes.
Each component is clickable and allows you to drill-down into the data. For example, the YTD Closes Component provides me with a detailed view of closes for each member of the High Monkey sales team with information about the Account Name (Client), the Opportunity Name, and Expected Revenue.
ZohoCRM provides a simple tool to add Components or create custom views of data within the Home Page. Other data fields, lists, templates, can be easily edited within ZohoCRM and are immediately shared with a sales team because of ZohoCRM's online subscription model.
I know this overview of ZohoCRM just scratches the surface of what you can do. ZohoCRM meets our needs very well at a reasonable subscription price-point. If you are exploring CRM systems, ZohoCRM is worth a serious look.

AuSin, is the Abel function for the primary elementary function known as sin.
AuSin is inverse function of SuSin, \(~\mathrm{AuSin}=\mathrm{SuSin}^{-1}\)
\(g=\mathrm{AuSin}~ ~\) is solution of the Abel equation
As \(\mathrm{SuSin}(1)=1\), the inverse function at unity is also unity;
Then, \(\mathrm{AuSin}(\pi/2)=\mathrm{AuSin}(\arcsin(1))=\mathrm{AuSin}(1)-1=0\)
Both the explicit plot of ArcSin and its map are symmetric with respect to reflection from the line \(x=\pi/2~\):
Expansion at \(\pi/2\)
Expansion at \(\pi/2\) has the following form:
\(\displaystyle \mathrm{AuSin}\left( \frac{\pi}{2}+t \right) = \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} b_n t^{2n}\)
The first coefficients \(b\) of this expansion are evaluated in the table below:
\(\displaystyle \begin{array}{cc} n & b_n\\ 1 & 2.29163807440958 \\ 2 & 1.96043852439688 \\ 3 & 1.07862851256147 \\ 4 & 0.59622997993395 \\ 5 & 0.28333997139829 \\ 6 & 0.14193261194548 \\ 7 & 0.06423734271234 \\ 8 & 0.03026687705508 \\ 9 & 0.01351721250427 \\ \end{array} \)
More coefficient are supplied in the Discussion. The series converges at \(~|t|\!<\!\pi/2~\). The map of approximation of AuTra with the truncated expansion with 40 terms is shown in the figure that is not yet loaded.
This expansion is good for evaluation of \(\mathrm{AuSin}(z)\) at \(\displaystyle \left| \frac \pi 2 - z \right|<1\)
with 40 terms taken into account, the truncated series returns of order of 14 significant figures.
\(\displaystyle G_M(z)=\frac{3}{z^2}+\frac{5}{6} \ln(z)+ \sum_{m=1}^M c_m z^{2m} \)
Substitution of \(g(z)=G_M(z)+O(z^{2M+2})\) into the Abel equation with the transfer function sin
determines the coefficients \(c_1\), \(c_2\), ..These coefficients can be calculated with the substitution of the expansion to the Abel equation and the straightforward asymptotic analysis.
The first coefficients \(c\) are shown in the table below
\( \displaystyle\begin{array}{ccccccccccc} c_1 & c_2 & c_3& c_4& c_5& c_6 \\ \frac{79}{1050} & \frac{29}{2625} & \frac{91543}{36382500} & \frac{18222899}{28378350000} & \frac{88627739}{573024375000}& \frac{3899439883}{142468185234375} \end{array} \)
Then, function \(G\) can be evaluated with
\(\displaystyle G(z)=\lim_{k\rightarrow \infty} G_M\big(\sin^k(z)\big)-k\)
While \(G_M\) is asymptotic solution of the Abel equation with sin as the transfer function, the limit does not depend on \(M\); although, the rate of convergence improves with the increase of \(M\).
Then, thigough this \(G\), the Abel sin appears as
in such a way that \(\mathrm{AuSin}(\pi/2)=0\) ; the constant \(G(\pi/2)\approx 2.089622719729524\)
Function AuSin has sense of number of iterates of sin, begining with \(\pi/2\), required in order to get value of argument. However, the number of these iterates has no need to be integer.
The numerical implementation of AuSin with the algorithm above is stored as ausin.cin. The area of agreement of this implementation with that of function SuSin is seen from the complex map of function \(\mathcal A(z)=\mathrm{SuSin}\big( \mathrm{AuSin}(z) \big)\) This map is not yet loaded.
The numerical implementation reproduces the relation \(\mathrm{AuSin}(\pi\!-\!z)\!=\!\mathrm{AuSin}(z)\) with 14 decimal figures at least within range \(\displaystyle \left| \frac{\pi}{2} - z \right| < \frac{\pi}{2} \)
Range of validity
In order to show the range of validity of relation
\( \mathrm{SuSin}\big(\mathrm{AuSin}(z)\big)=z\)
the map of the left hans side of this equation is shown, while the equation holds, in the figure at right (to be loaded) in the plane \(z\!=\!x\!+\!\mathrm i y\)
This map appears as a rectangular grid. The range of validity is bounded, surrounded by the lines
These lines are also drawn.
Iterations or sin
WIth SuSin and AuSin, Iterations of sin can be presented in the following way:
In this expression, the umber \(n\) of iteration has no need to be integer; sin cam be iterated even complex number of times.

Bouncing Baby, cradles and rockers
Entertaining your baby isn"t always a walk in the park - in particular when you"re a little on the sleepy side. Fortunately, a baby bouncer from our spectrum is a simple go-to when you need a bit of a rest. Your little wriggler can be popped in a baby bouncer chair from day one thanks to its supportive back and head cushioning. Pick from seats and rockers by brands like Fisher Price and Chicco that bob backwards and forwards or laterally to soothe your baby.
A baby bouncer chair is made to completely support baby's developing spine. Straps preserve them safe and sound while they gently bounce to their very own tune or rock themselves to sleeping. Every chair features cosy padding and addresses so baby can feel as comfy because they would during cuddle period. Don"t worry about those unavoidable spills and dribbles - seats with removable covers could be easily cleaned ready for baby"s up coming bouncing session. Take your pick from cradle styles and sit-up options that can be utilised at different levels of your kid"s development.
[amazon_link asins="B01D36EZIU,B01128SQYK,B014W3LR16,B01ABUN4RY,B01MZH0DKM,B019XSJTB0,B074ZP7X6P,B00E3RKEMU" template="ProductCarousel" store="madeforkids-21" marketplace="UK" link_id="5b1aeec6-b521-11e8-b6e8-81568b5acd55"]
What"s more, a good baby rocker is a lot more than just a jiggling equipment. Overhanging mobiles help to entertain your baby with going and touchable things. Bouncers with soft playthings attached mean they are able to bop plus a few friends. Similarly, options that attach to your door frame bring a whole different dimension to playtime. Baby can kick their legs and spring along with their heart's content whilst having the entire view of the area. Once your little one gets a lttle bit older, it could be time to help them on their method with a baby walker
Baby chairs, rockers and bouncers could be a godsend in the 1st six months or so of your baby's lifestyle.
In the first days, these seats give a secure and cosy place for your newborn to lie, relax and nap, and so are portable enough to go around the house if you want to have a shower or produce a cuppa.
As he ages, the activity of the seat could keep him stimulated or rock him to sleep, and several have toys and extra features to entertain him.
What to spend
You don't need to spend a fortune on a baby seat.
A simple bouncy seat that's activated simply by your baby's movements can cost less than £15, although they have a tendency to be a bit more expensive if you would like additional features just like a toy arch.
If you prefer a chair that rocks, swings or vibrates, be prepared to spend from £50.
The most expensive seats can cost up to £250, but have designer styling and a lot of extras.
Key features
There are two basic types of baby seat from which to choose.
The simplest sort includes a flexible metal frame that responds to your baby's movements, bouncing gently along.
The other type is operated by batteries or electricity, and moves automatically.
You can even buy seats that allow your baby to lie on his back in a reclined position, or on his front for tummy time.
Basic bouncers are low-priced, light and portable, but do depend on your baby to go.
The battery-powered models are best for soothing your child or sending him to sleep without relying on his movements.
Some have a selection of speeds or sensations, for instance mimicking a car ride or perhaps a swing.
These have a tendency to be a little heavier and bulkier, and may drain countless batteries.
Baby bouncers have a good reclined seat that is suitable for young babies who can't sit independently.
Some have a choice of recline positions, and even turn into an upright chair that's well suited for toddlers.
Look for a seat that is comfortably padded so your baby feels snug and secure.
Removable, washable addresses are an edge, too.
It's important that your child seat has a durable harness to prevent your baby wriggling out.
This can be a three-point harness, with straps over his shoulders and between his legs, or a five-point harness that also offers waist straps.
Five-point harnesses are better but extra limiting to your baby as he grows. Look for adjustable straps that you can suit to his size.
Various baby seats have more features made to stimulate or soothe your child.
Included in these are toy arches, music and light capabilities, and even Bluetooth in order to take up your baby's favourite MP3 tracks through the seat.
They also can be found in a huge selection of colours and models, so that you can choose the one which coordinates together with your nursery décor, matches your interior design, or is bright and appealing for your child.
There are a couple of other styles of seat that are suited to young babies.
Among these is a good moulded rubber chair that looks somewhat like a potty, designed for babies who may support their brain (from about four months).
The seat moulds to your baby's condition to hold him in the seat.
You can even buy seats that allow your child to lie on his back in a reclined position, or on his front for tummy time.
Need to know
In recent years there were a number of critical injuries to babies using seats, rockers or bouncers.
To keep your child safe it is best to utilize the safety harness, under no circumstances keep him unattended in the seat, don't make it around together with your baby in it, and never put it on a raised surface.
You should stop using this sort of seat whenever your baby can sit by himself or reaches a specific weight.
Simple baby bouncers have a flexible metallic frame and move in response to your baby's movements.
Battery or electric seats rock, swing or vibrate independently.
Many chairs have extra features just like toy bars, sounds and lights.
[easyazon_link identifier="B00IVNEFCM" locale="US" tag="kiddies01-20"]Fisher-Price Baby Bouncer, Luminosity[/easyazon_link]A [easyazon_link identifier="B000LXQVA4" locale="US" tag="kiddies01-20"]child bouncer[/easyazon_link] is usually a wonderful asset for any moms and dad as well as for that child. It is usually quite assuring to understand that your little 1 is safely strapped in and having a good time at the precise very same time. It can genuinely permit mum or father to get on with whatever else they would like to do.
< br/ > You"ll discover varied sort of infant bouncer, probably even more typical than a chair bouncer is really a door bouncer. This sort generally hangs from a door and also the kid is strapped into it in an upright position, a bit like a bungee jump. It really is, as an outcome just suitable for a child old adequate to hold the weight of its direct by itself.
For that younger baby it really is far much better to use something that enables the kid to lie flat while it is happily bouncing. The chair bouncer sits on the flooring and has a versatile base which permits the flexibility to allow the bounce.
One of the far more standard variations is the Kid Bjorn starter version which is simply the seat with no frills whatsoever. Then it is possible to get designs that are operated by battery that are more expensive or by hand that are less high priced.
< br/ > If you want to have the ability to take it around with you, you should take a look at a single which could be folded extremely quickly to put in the boot of an automobile or handled public transport.
< br/ > Probably the perfect name brand name that produce them is Fisher Price. For a child girl, their Believe Pink Child Bouncer is an outstanding item. All the models from Fisher Price have tiny toys and sound makers attached that make it a backyard at the same time as a simple baby rocker.
Other brands that remain in this market tend to end up being the exact same ones that make prams, pushchairs, strollers and buggies. Expect to see trustworthy names like O"Baby, Graco and Cosatto when you"re out browsing for your infant bouncer.

Oversized Clocks For Walls – When you've decided the specific position to insert the screw to the wall, with a hand drill and a tiny drill bit, drill a tiny hole into the wall making sure that you drill through the stud. Next, once you drilled your tiny hole to the wall, then insert your large wood screw. Be sure to twist the screw in just far enough so the head of the screw sticks out of the wall enough to encourage the clock.
On the flip side, there are some cases where the stud behind the wall is not found in a position where you would like to hang out your timepiece. In this situation, the remedy for this is using what is known as a screw anchor.
These screw anchors are available in plastic and metal. There are styles of screw anchors out there for a number of wall hanging projects. These screw backpacks come in various shapes and sizes. Depending on how much fat your wall clock is will determine what style and size screw anchor will be essential to hang your clock.

The workers at the local hardware or home improvement store will have the knowledge to help you determine exactly which type of screw anchor is suitable for your clock hanging situation. Simply tell them precisely what you plan to do. Once you've decided what sort of screw anchor to utilize, drill an appropriate size hole to the wall.
Always be sure you account for the position of the hanger on the rear of the clock if placing your clock hanging screw. When you've inserted the correct screw anchor to the wall, with a twist attached and sticking out from the wall one-quarter to one-half inch, gently hang your clock. Make certain that your clock is securely in place.

SAOTOME Katsumoto interview, August 2009, part 1

Tokyo, the capital city of Japan, became a battlefield from the end of November, 1944. Normally, a "battlefield" is a place where bloody soldiers fight the enemy. And since Japan is surrounded by ocean on all sides, up until that time all her battlefields had been in far away places. I suppose Japan was similar to England in that respect. With the advent of the B-29 bombers, however, these battlefields were immediately relocated to the home islands. This happened about the end of November 1944. From that time, and beginning with Tokyo, the eerie sound of air raid sirens never ceased ringing out in our towns. The war ended the very next year. I was twelve years old at the time. My family lived in the Shitamachi area and I was in my first year of junior high school. I was only twelve, but my birthday came early in the year. In reality, however, our education was finished. We never really went to school. Even children that young were expected to work for the country as part of the "Student Mobilization Program." I was sent to work in a steel mill. But there were air raids day and night so we couldn't really even work. That's how I spent my days until March 10, 1945. I have a picture here... This is me in the center. You can see how young I am. And this is my brother. He was a soldier. Pretty much everyone in their twenties was a soldier. Here's my mother and sister... There aren't many pictures like this, but anyway that's me in those days. --Where was your father at the time?-- My father was with us, but he wasn't healthy. He couldn't work most days. --What part of Shitamachi did you live in?-- We lived in the Terashima-cho neighborhood of Mukojima. It's next to the Tamanoi neighborhood, which was made famous in Nagai Kafu's novel "Bokutokidan." Tamanoi was completely burned out by the raids. Anyway, we lived right next to there in Terashima-cho. --Had you seen any B-29s before March 10?-- Oh, of course. The B-29s began to appear from November 1, 1944. There was a reconnaissance mission that day. The plane looked about the size of a fountain pen's tip. Kind of like this... It was flying very high at 10,000 meters. ...and flew straight on... The planes had four engines, so they trailed four clouds behind them. At first I thought it looked like four individual rockets. Reconnaissance missions like this were flown repeatedly for awhile. They were taking pictures from 10,000 meters in preparation for the coming attacks. At 10,000 meters, there was nothing the Japanese side could do. Anti-aircraft cannons and fighters were useless. All we could do was watch them fly overhead. Everyone knew actual air raids would begin soon, so during this time a lot of people moved to the country. Many houses were empty. We knew it was dangerous too, but there was nothing to do because we'd all been born in Tokyo and had nowhere to go. So we ended up staying in Shitamachi and experiencing all the raids that happened prior to March 10 as well as everything that came after that. Of course, most air raid survivors now tend to be even older than I am. Most of them have already passed on.... --Could you describe what happened on March 10?-- Well, it's difficult to describe simply. After all, 100,000 people died in a single night... I don't even like to say it so simply: "100,000 people died..." Each of those are individuals. Just a few hours before death, they'd all been talking and sighing with family members in their small homes. Each one of them had a unique life and personality. Never before in history... in the history of warfare... had such a large number of people been killed in such a short amount of time. It was truly an historically unprecedented event.

A decent night of sleep is essential for feeling rested and refreshed. Achieving great sleep starts with proper sleep hygiene.
"To achieve better sleep at home, it's important to practice sleep hygiene," said Chris McCarthy with the Sleep Center at Pascack Valley Medical Center. "Just like how oral hygiene gives you good oral health, proper sleep hygiene can set you up for better sleep."
Proper sleep hygiene includes:
- Getting to bed early and giving yourself the opportunity to get a full eight hours of sleep
- Setting a cool climate
- Sticking to a routine
- Keeping the room dark
- Removing all electronics and/or distractions (TV, cell phones, tablets, laptops, work materials)
Being aware of your diet is also a component of sleep health.
"If you have reflux or there are certain foods, such as spicier foods, that typically bother you, try not to eat those later in the day or try avoiding them altogether," said McCarthy. "Also, watch your caffeine intake and try not to drink any after lunchtime."
Alcohol consumption can cause individuals to have disruptive sleep as well.
"Since alcohol is a depressant, it helps you fall asleep quicker but ends up disrupting your sleep," said McCarthy. "Studies have shown that the second half of your sleep is very fragmented after drinking alcohol. Even having a few glasses of wine at dinner can interrupt your sleep pattern. If you drink alcohol during the hours leading up to bedtime and have been experiencing sleep issues, try cutting back or completely eliminating it."
Even with practicing proper sleep hygiene, some individuals still have trouble sleeping and could be affected by a sleep disorder. The Sleep Center at Pascack Valley Medical Center is a certified sleep center that treats a full spectrum of sleep disorders.
"The most common disorders we treat are obstructive sleep apnea, restless leg syndrome, periodic limb movement and insomnia," said McCarthy.
Patients are typically referred to the Sleep Center by their primary care physician. If you do not have a physician referral, you can be evaluated be a sleep specialist at the Sleep Center who will perform specific testing to determine if you can benefit from treatment.
The Sleep Center works with a wide variety of patients, many who experience sleep issues due to other health problems.
"We work with a lot of individuals who are overweight but are wanting to live a healthier lifestyle," said McCarthy. "If you are wanting to be healthier, consider sleep as a part of your overall lifestyle change. When you are sleep deprived, there are hormones that can get out of balance, in particular the hormone that tells your brain when you are full and should stop eating. Work on living a healthier lifestyle by making sleep a priority."
If you are practicing proper sleep hygiene but still aren't sleeping well, talk to your primary care physician about taking the next steps. To learn more about the Sleep Center at Pascack Valley, visit pascackmedicalcenter.com/services/sleep-center or call 201-383-1082.

NEW YORK, Sept 19 (Reuters) – The unveiling Wednesday of the details of a new rule making New York the first state to require aspiring lawyers to perform free legal work in order to be admitted to the bar has quieted concerns of law school administrators that it would be costly to implement.
The regulation, first proposed by Chief Judge Jonathan Lippman in May, requires law students to perform 50 hours of pro bono work between their first year of law school and the time they apply for a license.
Over the summer, officials from law schools across the country had worried that if existing programs like clinics and internships did not qualify, schools would be forced to hastily implement new ones, taxing limited resources.
But under the new rule, pro bono service is defined as providing "law-related" services to low-income people, non-profit organizations, civil rights groups or any government entity and allows such clinics to count toward the requirement, even though students typically receive academic credit for those programs.
"It's much better than it could have been," said the dean of Cornell Law School, Stewart Schwab.

Feminist Seminar: Sohoon Lee, Politics of informal bargaining: border and care labour in South Korea
April 25, 2018 @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm
This seminar is co-sponsored by the Race, Ethnicity, and Immigration Workshop
Discussant: Fidan Elcioglu (U of Toronto)
Although South Korea has no designated labour migration scheme for care work, migrant women comprise a substantial proportion of the country's informal care workforce. Only a small fraction of the migrant care workers have their employment registered with the Ministry of Employment and Labor while the majority "prefer" finding their jobs through unofficial routes and working informally. This paper examines the meaning of public intervention in informal employment for migrant care workers by focusing on the politics of their labour. By comparing the stories of workers who are on temporary and long-term visas, the paper analyses what informality politics mean for migrant care workers who negotiate with their citizen-employers in the presence or the absence of the state.
Bio. Sohoon Lee is a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Department of Sociology, University of Toronto. Her postdoctoral research project explores the 'informal' politics between the migrant care workers and their employers in the liminal space of immigration, social protection and labour. Building upon her PhD thesis, she is currently working on a book manuscript on the temporality of ethno-kinship migration in South Korea through a combination of ethnography, in-depth personal and group interviews and analysis of laws and policies. Her research interests also include multicultural (damunhwa) policies in South Korea, return migrants and bottom-up development in Indonesia, and NGO-Trade Union relationship in migrant movement in South Korea. She has also undertaken consultancies with UN Women, Friedrich-Ebert- Stiftung (FES), and other NGOs to write on topics of migrant domestic workers, intersectionality and discrimination and labour rights protections in South Korea.

Many men notice as they age that sex just isn't want it used to be. Worse yet, some men assume that's just an inevitable aspect of growing older, and don't take advantage of proven male enhancement methods to maintain youthful sex lives. Many men and women unfortunately accept decreasing sexual frequency, performance, and pleasure as just a fact of life as they age. But men can maintain their vigor and stamina longer than ever before, and don't have to accept poor performance or low sexual frequency as an inevitable aspect of aging.
Here are just a few of the sexual challenges that older men may be facing:
Achieving and maintaining an erection. As some men age, they find it increasingly difficult to achieve and maintain a satisfying erection. While there are some well-known prescriptions that address this issue, they can come with unwanted side effects, and fail to address other sexual dysfunctions. It's better to seek an all-natural male enhancement supplement that can address many other sexual health issues, in addition to delivering harder erections.
Loss of stamina. Older men may struggle to last as long in bed as they used to, which can be frustrating for their sexual partners. Some may even find that they are experiencing early ejaculation for the first time. Loss of stamina can go hand-in-hand with other aspects of aging, since sexual health is so closely tied to overall body health, and stress, fatigue, and muscle soreness can all negatively impact stamina.
Lack of libido. As men age, testosterone and other sex hormones naturally decrease in the body, and this can severely affect a man's sexual desire. The average testosterone levels in men peak at 18 years of age and decline until 60, when they stabilize at a low level. Not only does low testosterone inhibit libido, but it can increase the refractory period significantly, lowering the frequency of sexual activity even when there is no decrease in desire. Unfortunately, most women experience an increase in libido as they age, and this can cause tension within relationships. Many men seek out male enhancement products solely to increase libido.
Weaker ejaculation and lower sperm count. Of course, many older men are not concerned about sperm count, but all men want to experience powerful ejaculation during orgasm. Semen volume decreases after the early 30s, which can disappoint both men and women who associate strong ejaculations with sexual satisfaction and intense orgasms. In addition, many men feel more sexually confident when they ejaculate a large amount; it visually reinforces the dramatic feeling of their orgasm, and attests to their virility.
Prostate health. Finally, of course, as men age they need to be increasingly vigilant about the health of the prostate to prevent diseases and maintain vitality. Men should have their prostate checked every few years when they are younger, and yearly after the age of 40. Not coincidentally, frequent sex is one proven method to keep the prostate healthy and lower the risk of cancer.
Men who want to maintain healthy sex lives into old age should always take care of their overall health. Developing good habits when younger is always a good idea. Avoid cigarettes, exercise regularly, reduce alcohol consumption, maintain a healthy body weight, and stick to a good diet with lots of fruits and vegetables in order to ensure not just good sex, but good cognition and lowered risk of disease throughout your life.
But for those men who want an extra boost, there are male enhancement supplements on the market today that will address not just one, but ALL of these potential problems. Supplements can help men of any age achieve harder erections, reduce premature ejaculation and increase sexual stamina, boost desire, increase ejaculate volume, and even protect the prostate. Furthermore, men can get all these benefits with all-natural herbs and vitamins, and not risk the potential side effects of many of those expensive prescription medications. Men can now naturally and safely protect their physical and sexual health for their whole lives, and take control over the aging process.


text: 2016 'Most Important Year For Antimicrobial Resistance In Our Lifetime' – WHO Official 23/05/2016 by William New, Intellectual Property Watch 1 Comment Share this:Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to email this to a friend (Opens in new window)Click to print (Opens in new window)This year is profoundly important in humanity's future ability to stave off resistance to antibiotics and other medicines, a top World Health Organization official said on the eve of this week's annual World Health Assembly. "This may be the most important year for AMR [antimicrobial resistance] that we've had in our lifetime," Keiji Fukuda, WHO assistant director-general and special representative for antimicrobial resistance, told a pre-WHA gathering at the Graduate Institute yesterday. "This is one of the issues that can be seen as a fundamental social threat," he said, referencing climate change as another example. "We are talking health, but we are also talking beyond health." While the AMR issue is not up for a decision by this week's WHA (running from 23-28 May), there will be discussions among member states and stakeholders. "This Assembly is a way to address the issues," he said. Fukuda said two papers on the issue are being presented this week, and are available, but did not provide specifics. Details will be added here as soon as they are known. [Update:] One paper may be a new report [pdf] on antimicrobial resistance issued this month that sets out the United Kingdom Review on Antimicrobial Resistance's final recommendations to tackle AMR in a global way. The Review on Antimicrobial Resistance was chaired by Jim O'Neill, international economist, and was sponsored by the UK government and the Wellcome Trust. "This is one of those issues that is not going to get better unless the right level of attention is brought to bear and is sustained over time," he said. The issue is entering the highest profile spotlight this year as there will be a High-Level Meeting at the heads of state level at next September's annual United Nations General Assembly. In addition, Fukuda said this issue is different from many others in that it will touch each person directly. Everyone will have family members, friends or themselves they are concerned about. "This is an issue that every single person will be worried about," he said. The scientific issue is that around the world, many infectious microbes are becoming resistance to medicines that we have. The most threatening are the bacterial so can refer to it as antibiotic resistance, but there are also concerns about viral infections, he said. The problem with AMR is that consumers "don't use these medicines very well," said Fukuda. Overuse or incorrect use lead to bacteria developing resistance, and once they are resistant to all available antibiotics, anyone who gets infected will be out of treatment options until the world comes up with a next generation of medicines [sentence clarified]. "It's clear there a huge number of issues in AMR," Fukuda told Intellectual Property Watch afterward. The question is how they are going to be put together. This will be led by the UN in New York, as it will consider a high-level political declaration next September, only the third in its history related to public health (first two were on HIV/AIDS and non-communicable diseases). Fukuda mentioned WHO's efforts to work with other key agencies, naming the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) in Paris, and the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) in Rome. On research and development, Fukuda said it is too early to analyse the intellectual property rights issues, but that broadly, the issue is how to keep up a level of R&D, and what is going to sustain it over the decades to come.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – This St. Patrick's Day, more Americans will be toasting with a dram of high-end Irish Whiskey, according to the Distilled Spirits Council.
With the booming consumer interest in brown spirits, Irish Whiskey has seen substantial growth over the last decade. In 2016, Irish Whiskey volumes were up 18.7 percent to 3.8 million cases and revenues were up an impressive 19.8 percent to $795 million.
The Council reports that much of this growth is fueled by the rise of high-end and super premium Irish Whiskeys, which grew an astounding 736 percent and 3456 percent, respectively, since 2002.
"Increased growth of premium Irish Whiskey reflects the upward trend of adult consumers' interest in luxury spirits products," said Distilled Spirits Council Senior Vice President Frank Coleman.
"Irish Whiskey's smooth flavor profile makes it particularly appealing to adult consumers who are new to the whiskey category," Coleman added.
Alongside approachability, Irish Whiskey is benefitting from thriving cocktail culture in cities across the country. The unique and versatile flavor of Irish Whiskey has been recognized by leading mixologists and has made its way into innovative and artisan cocktail menus.
Jack McGarry, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of The Dead Rabbit, which was recently awarded the World's Best Bar, says they are thrilled to see the increasing popularity of Irish Whiskey in the United States.
McGarry stated, "As proud sons of Ireland, we have long championed our homeland's spirit at The Dead Rabbit, especially beginning with our second menu. Our very broad array of cocktails using Irish Whiskey showcase the fact that it is eminently mixable and versatile, from refreshing aperitifs to spirit-forward sippers for any time of year. Of course, Irish whiskey is a fine and approachable dram on its own."
Below are some favorite Irish Whiskey cocktail recipes from The Dead Rabbit and JUNOON:

Hastings apartment fire ruled arson
The overnight fire at a Hastings apartment building was intentionally set, according to the State Fire Marshal's Office.
The fire at 314 E. 7th Street was ruled arson and one person was taken into emergency protective custody.
Hastings Police were first called out to the multi-unit residence around 12:30 a.m. Friday for a disturbance and reported yelling going on.
HPD Captain Mike Doremus said officers were talking to a female residence, who they said was acting strange, when the officers smelt smoke. The woman told the police she had started her apartment on fire.
She was taken to Mary Lanning Healthcare for evaluation.
Hastings Fire & Rescue were called out to the scene about 15 minutes after the initial call to police. They were told that officers could see flames coming from inside the apartment.
According to the report filed by Hastings firefighters, the fire was confined to the ground level apartment and a stairwell leading up to the second floor.
Six people were in the building and were evacuated.
Hastings Fire officials said nobody was injured, though a cat was killed.
