Defeating Germany's Bayern Munich team 92-77 in the 16th-week match of Turkish Airlines Euroleague game, Anadolu Efes head coach Ergin Ataman shared his thoughts at the post-game press conference:
"Tonight we started the game with a different strategy. We would pressure the ball with Doğuş and Micic. We put pressure on their guards and got them in trouble to run their regular set offense. We closed very well our paint, penetrations with our center, Dunston, and then with Pleiss. With this aggressiveness, we found easy fast break points, transition points and we played perfect offense. We had good shot selection and played perfectly in the first half. We made a lot of passes in halfcourt offense, finding a correct shot every time. In the second half, we got some problems with offensive rebounds. We gave them 10 offensive rebounds and on offense, we missed some easy shots, but after that, with Moerman and James Anderson, they gave us energy on offense with rebounds and penetrations and we broke the game. It is a very important win for us. Bayern has eight victories and is very close to us in the standings. We beat them twice and have a two-win advantage. It is a big step for us, for our playoffs goal…"

Student - July 10, 2018
Student Alliance wants ticket sales point on campus
Student Alliance Wageningen (SAW) has entered discussions with the province of Gelderland, the university and the transport companies in order to realise a sales point for bus tickets on campus.
© Luuk Zegers
As of 24 June, it is not possible to buy a ticket in the bus using cash anymore, only using a debit or credit card. The measure is meant to protect bus drivers from being held up and robbed. However, this can pose problems for international students as not all foreign cards are accepted.
But it is also difficult to buy a bus ticket with cash when not on the bus, says SAW chair Giulia Homs. 'In Wageningen, the only possibility to do so is at the Primera in the town centre. That shop has limited business hours, and besides, most internationals are on campus or at the business park.'
Ticket machine
SAW and the university have therefore started looking for possibilities to start selling tickets at the AH to go or the WUR shop in Forum. 'But the ideal solution would be a ticket machine that accepts cash', says Homs. 'A machine doesn't have business hours.'

They have scheduled events everyday you can join upon your arrival. Whether you will or you were able to attend all events or not, you still pay the same rate for the entrance fee.
Upon entry, you will be given a flyer listing the park's map and their events' timeline:
Bird of Prey Show
During our trip, we were only able to attend the 'Basic Instinct, a Bird of Prey' show. Shows how those particular birds have learned of basic and some survival skills. Indeed surprisingly entertaining and very educational.
Guyu Guyu Corner
Now, if you're like me, you'll love this park's corner, the Guyu Guyu Corner! This is where you can hug and kiss birds (nah, just kidding 😅). But seriously, this is where you can truly encounter them.
Do not worry for all the birds, they are all well kept, and do not smell bad like usual birds. So you can literally hug them. 😂
These are the kinds of birds at the Guyu Guyu corner:
Lake Kelimutu and Lake Nakuru
Another corners from the map are the Lake Kelimutu and Lake Nakuru. They are not actually connected to each other but they are just beside each other.
Lake Kelimutu is where you can feed Pelican birds while in Lake Nakuru is where you can witness the Flamingos bathing happily and are all united. 😅
Mollucas and Eastern Island
In here you can see the best-looking birds in the Park! ♥♥♥ These birds are very attractive in person (sadly, they are far from the allowed picture taking point, so I had to just zoom it in).
The Park is still big to explore however we have an itinerary to follow so we left after 2 hours of touring.

From The Socialist newspaper, 19 January 2011
MPs' expenses scam continues: for workers' MPs on a worker's wage
Dave Nellist (at NSSN lobby of TUC) took only a skilled worker's wage while an MP, photo Suleyman Civi (Click to enlarge)
ON 7 January 2011 the former Labour MP for Bury North, David Chaytor, was sentenced at Southwark Crown Court to 18 months' imprisonment for 'false accounting'.
Councillor Dave Nellist, Socialist Party, Coventry (former Labour MP 1983-1992)
He had pleaded guilty to using a fake tenancy agreement and then claiming just over £20,000 in Parliamentary expenses to pay rent on a house in Westminster which he in fact already owned and on which the mortgage had been paid.
Chaytor had previously failed in the Court of Appeal, together with other politicians, to claim that 'parliamentary privilege' should make him immune from prosecution for fraud.
On 11 January a second (and current) Labour MP, Eric Illsley, pleaded guilty to fraud, involving £14,000 of false claims for his 'second home'. He will be sentenced in February.
Illsley has now said he will resign as an MP, and a by-election will now follow in Barnsley in due course. The police are apparently investigating several other politicians - and two ex-MPs and two peers have already been charged with similar offences to Chaytor and Illsley. But there's more.
Recent press reports now talk about other, possibly new, cases being raised by an MP, who is said to be angry that he was 'unfairly singled out over his own claims', and has 'shopped' two ex-Cabinet ministers and four MPs; three from the Labour Party, two Conservatives and one Liberal Democrat.
The anger and disgust that people, already privileged with high salaries and positions, should then fraudulently claim thousands of pounds of expenses to which they were not entitled, is widespread.
A recent British Social Attitudes survey found that 60% of those questioned thought politicians "almost never" told the truth and only 28% trusted MPs not to fiddle their expenses.
No sympathy
The new rules set up in the wake of recent scandals in Parliament are administered by the Independent Parliamentary Scrutiny Authority; and already some MPs are complaining about it.
Those MPs will clearly have the heartfelt sympathy of tens of thousands of families who have had to challenge benefit decisions, or who now face massive cuts in essential services as part of the biggest austerity programme for generations. Or perhaps not!
MPs are already very privileged, receiving a basic wage almost three times the average. That, and the level of their generous expenses allowances, insulates and isolates them from the normal problems affecting the majority of the people they represent.
The Socialist Party requires all its members elected into public positions, such as MPs, to take the same wage as that of a skilled worker. When myself, Terry Fields and Pat Wall were MPs in the 1980s, that worked out at around 40% of an MP's wage, or the equivalent of £26,000 today.
The 'surplus' was donated to socialist and trade union campaigns and causes, and accounts were regularly published in newsletters to be transparent.
Expenses should only be allowed where clearly necessary to do the job, and again be published and accountable, particularly to the working people locally who had elected that representative.
Much of the protocols of an MP's life, and the privileges lavished on them, are designed to suck them into defence of the system, so that (whether consciously or not) they feel more in common with the rulers than the ruled.
Breaking with those traditions, living in the area that you represent, and on the same wages, facing the same bills and problems as working people in a constituency can go some way to countering those pressures, and start restoring faith that elected, socialist officials would be different.
Only the Socialist Party regularly and consistently argues for that, and has the track record to prove it is not just simply words.

Coronavirus crisis - Finance appeal
The coronavirus crisis has laid bare the class character of society in numerous ways. It is making clear to many that it is the working class that keeps society running, not the CEOs of major corporations.
The results of austerity have been graphically demonstrated as public services strain to cope with the crisis.
The government has now ripped up its 'austerity' mantra and turned to policies that not long ago were denounced as socialist. But after the corona crisis, it will try to make the working class pay for it, by trying to claw back what has been given.
- The Socialist Party's material is more vital than ever, so we can continue to report from workers who are fighting for better health and safety measures, against layoffs, for adequate staffing levels, etc.
- Our 'fighting coronavirus workers' charter', outlines a programme to combat the virus and protect workers' living conditions.
- When the health crisis subsides, we must be ready for the stormy events ahead and the need to arm workers' movements with a socialist programme - one which puts the health and needs of humanity before the profits of a few.
Inevitably, during the crisis we have not been able to sell the Socialist and raise funds in the ways we normally would.
We therefore urgently appeal to all our viewers to donate to our special coronavirus appeal.

text: Digital 6 Winning Social Media Tips for Sports Marketing Success No field is better equipped to take advantage of real-time marketing than the sports industry.By Guest|January 7, 2016 Share By Guest|January 7, 2016 Share No field is better equipped to take advantage of real-time marketing than the sports industry. Whether fans are sharing game-time reactions on social media or checking fantasy team scores, they're constantly connected and engaged while watching their favorite teams. And because excitement peaks in the moment, sports marketers cannot wait several hours, or even a few minutes, after a big play or important win to interact with fans on social media.The exciting game this season between the Denver Broncos and New England Patriots provided a great example of the power of social media to create buzz in real time. The last few minutes of the game were filled with big plays, with the Broncos ultimately taking down the Patriots with a touchdown in overtime. The Broncos marketing team capitalized on the excitement in real time, amplifying the buzz through hashtags like #BeatThePatriots and #BroncosCountry and generating more than 30 percent more Tweets and retweets than the Patriots. Sports are prime opportunities for real-time marketing, because they are essentially a string of unpredictable events happening at a moment's notice. In today's interconnected world, sports fans are engaging online at a similar pace. Smart sports marketers like the Broncos reach fans in the moments they're most likely to be paying attention through the most popular social channels. Here a few tips on how sports marketers can effectively use social marketing to engage and activate fans in the era of constant connectivity.Go where the fans are: Sports fans are captive and engaged at live events, so in-venue visual displays can be a great way to reach fans when they're paying attention most. Sports franchises that have done this successfully aggregate content from fans in real time to be displayed on screen, which personalizes the experience for fans and creates a sense of excitement and community. Additionally, teams can integrate other promotions within the stream of user-generated content to expand reach for marketing materials.This advice also applies to social media sites. Millions of fans watch games from their couches or barstools, and are subsequently interacting on social media in real time. In addition to an in-venue strategy, sports teams should create engaging, real-time content that is appropriate to the channel they're leveraging. For instance, Instagram should be a place for images that share an up-close look at the team during the game or behind-the-scenes, as well as a more personal view into the lives and routines of the players or coaches on off days of play. Twitter can be more of a live feed, where sports marketers react to exciting plays in real time. Create momentum: To successfully drive engagement on social media, sports marketers need to create momentum themselves. Whether it's during a big game or the days leading up to one, sports franchises can encourage engagement by creating hashtags or contests that motivate fans to create relevant content. When fans begin to engage, many of their followers take note and also respond, which ultimately creates excitement and builds the momentum.Set specific goals: Like any marketing tactics, social media marketing can only be effective when brands set specific, measurable goals ahead of time. Do you want to create awareness and expand reach? Or do you want to drive significant engagement? Depending on the goal, your strategy and definition of success will change. For awareness campaigns, pushing branded content to a broad audience of fans should be your strategy. But with an engagement campaign, franchises will need to be more strategic about how they motivate fans to interact. In other words, know what you want and focus your efforts accordingly.Continue Reading Pages: 1 2 Share http://adweek.it/1RmbTgp copy Adweek Adweek

Born to Indian immigrant parents in Canada as Karenjit Kaur Vohra – her real name – Sunny Leone, perhaps, had never dreamt of ending up in the world of erotic entertainment ever. The actress has faced her shared of wrath and hatred owing to her career choices, but never bowed down to pressure. She always marched to the beat of her own drum. The ZEE5 original Karenjit Kaur: The Untold Story is the retracing of this very journey – from a middle-class Sikh girl to an adult industry star before she finally switched to Bollywood.
For someone who was faced the cameras as a porn star at the mere age of 19, she becoming Penthouse magazine's 'Pet of the Year' in 2001 wasn't exactly an achievement of any sorts for her family. Let alone deal with the new identity and brand Karen went on to carve for herself in that circuit. It certainly took a great deal of tension and indifference between Sunny and her parents. But if you believe Sunny, her story has a message for all the youths out there.
"One of the big reasons why I said yes to doing this (the biopic) is if there's a young person out there not necessarily has to follow my actions, but just has the strength inside them to say yes, I'm going to follow my dreams in life and create my own destiny.' That's my message to people out there would be. Is that path going to be easy? Probably not. Are going to hurt people along the way? Maybe, but big success always comes with a lot of tough decisions. Hopefully, somebody out there will watch it and say, yeah, I want to follow my own path'," Sunny told a leading entertainment news portal.
Two decades into her career, Sunny is happily married to Daniel Weber. The couple has three beautiful kids – a daughter Nisha Kaur Weber and twin sons Asher Singh Weber and Noah Singh Weber. On the professional front, the starlet will be next seen in Veeramadevi (Tamil), Password (Nepali) and Tina and Lolo (Hindi). As for the biopic, Karenjit Kaur: The Untold Story, it has been directed by Aditya Datt. The series is available in two seasons and each season consists of 10 episodes.
Season 3 of Karenjit Kaur: The Untold Story is set for a release next month. In the meantime, catch up or binge-watch the series on ZEE5.

Bob Smytherman asks....What does 2016 have in store for those of us living in a leasehold flat?
One of the biggest issues facing many parts of the country this winter has been flooding. The FPRA continues to argue that in responding to this ongoing problem, the Government has forgotten about those of us living in flats. For many years there has been an agreement between the insurance industry and the government to provide flood cover for all homes known as the Statement of Principles. This agreement comes to an end in April, when a new system called Flood Re comes into place. The problem with Flood Re is that it excludes the vast majority of the 4.1 million leasehold homes in England and Wales and will only apply to those living in very small blocks.
According to the insurance industry: "Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and leasehold properties are not included in Flood Re, because there is already an effective and competitive property insurance market covering them. Neither the ABI (Association of British Insurers) nor the Government is currently aware of any evidence to suggest that affordable flood insurance will cease to be widely available for them in the future." However, at the FPRA we believe the reason there is no evidence is because until now the Statement of Principles has applied to flats.
The insurance industry has been lobbying government to adopt Flood Re since 2011 and DEFRA (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) had been persuaded to support a new affordable scheme as part of the Water Act 2014. However, during the passage of the Bill groups like the FPRA, ARMA, the British Property Federation (BPF) CML, Leasehold Knowledge Partnership (LKP) the RICS and others tried to tell the Coalition Government they had things wrong. DEFRA were eventually forced to disclose that neither they nor the ABI had any data to differentiate between the risks faced by houses and leasehold homes. Despite this admission, the Government somehow seemed persuaded that there was a commercial benefit in leasehold insurance. When we met the then DEFRA Minister Lib Dem Dan Rogerson, he apparently thought that because it is the landlord's building, insurance must be a commercial matter, not appreciating that it is the leaseholder who pays 100% of the bill.
The insurance industry has now decided that some leasehold homes should fall under Flood Re so those blocks that fall into Council Tax band H and those with three or fewer flats where the freeholder also lives on the site and leasehold houses can get cheap cover. This simply adds another layer of injustice to an already unfair insurance market for flat owners, who often have to rely on a managing agent to negotiate their premiums which often include significant commissions paid to the agent or landlord. Of course there will be those that say ARMQ-Q and RICS require full disclosure of commissions but I would argue that the only real way to ensure fairness in the system is to ban insurance commissions altogether whether paid direct to the agent or to a third party. This would have the benefit of preventing large managing agents from using commissions to undercut competitors when quoting for property management work.
Just before the election in May, the regulations supporting the Water Act and Flood Re came into force. Flood Re has now been set up as a company to administer the scheme which will become active from April. Until then the Statement of Principles still applies but it will not be long before we find out how much premiums will increase. Given the lack of data, the decision to exclude most leasehold homes from Flood Re is a huge gamble. So far it's not even clear if the mapping systems used by government and the insurance industry are detailed enough to give accurate information on flood risk for some houses.
As well as the Water Act, there is a new Housing & Planning Bill going through Parliament this year. However, despite a spirited attempt to have the Bill amended to facilitate more Commonhold developments there is little in it to benefit leaseholders!
For the FPRA, 2016 will be our 45th year representing the interests of leaseholders and I would like to welcome new FPRA members in 2016 to benefit from the impartial advice provided by our many honorary consultants. We are now planning our next AGM, so do please check out our website for all the latest information and subscribe to our newsletter. We will continue to lobby Government for a better deal for leasehold home owners.

The US dollar is broadly higher, despite the somewhat dovish FOMC statement and better than expected European purchasing managers surveys. Global equity and bond markets are mostly higher. The highlight of the day still lies ahead, but there are 6 developments to note prior to the outcome of the BOE and ECB meetings.
1. Australia's PMI fell sharply to 42.0 from 49.6. It has not been below the 50 boom/bust level for 25 months. Australian equities advanced slightly (0.2%), but were held back by a 0.8% fall in financials amid talk of a deposit levy and an increase in compulsory retirement saving, which may compete with banks for household savings/deposits. A rate cut next week is now as fully discounted as these things get and our expectation of another cut in Q4 is gradually becoming a more common view. The decline in import prices (-0.3% Q2 vs expectations for a 2.0% increase) should further drive home the point that the decline in the Australian dollar is not fueling inflation.
2. China's official manufacturing PMI rose to 50.3 from 50.1 in June. The HSBC confirmed its flash reading of 47.7, down from 48.2. The divergence, while common, is the largest in over a year. While the HSBC measure is more weighted to small business and exporters, the official measure small business sub-index rose to 49.4 from 48.9. We suspect that one of the factors the account for the discrepancy is the HSBC one was conducted earlier and the liquidity squeeze in June weighed on sentiment more. Meanwhile the easing of money market rates, via a CNY34 bln 14-day reverse repo and the official PMI measure helped extend the local stock market advance for the third consecutive session.
3. The euro area PMI rose to 50.3 from the 50.1 flash reading. It is the 4th consecutive increase and is now the highest since mid-2011. The highlights include a stronger German reading (50.7 vs 50.3 flash) and a surprising gain in Italy above 50 (50.4 from 49.1 in June), helped by rising output, new orders and exports. The Dutch also surprised with a rise above 50 (50.8 vs 48.8) Spain disappointed by slipping to 49.8 from 50.0 and France slipped to 49.7 from 49.8 in the flash reading. Markit sticks with its assessment that the data is consistent with a 0.1% expansion in Q3 GDP. The euro is trading almost a cent lower than its post-FOMC peak, though within yesterday's range. Given the risk of dovish comments from Draghi and expectations for another solid, even if not spectacular jobs report tomorrow, we favor a further push lower in the euro Initial support is seen in the $1.3200-10 area, where a break would encourage a test on last week's lows near $1.3135.
4. The UK CIPS rose to 54.6 form 52.9. New orders, exports and employment showed healthy gains. Sterling rose almost a cent on the news, though it remains around 2 cents below last Thursday's high. The $1.5250 area is seen as the near-term ceiling.
5. Japanese shares had their biggest rally in a month, with the Nikkei up 2.5%. It managed to enter, but not fill the gap left from Monday's sharply lower opening. That gap extends to 14114.5. Favorable earnings (e.g. Panasonic), a weaker yen and China's PMI contributed to the equity gains. Separately we note that Japanese investors purchases foreign bonds for the 4th consecutive week (JPY233.2 bln vs JPY601.4 bln the prior week). Foreign investors sold a small amount of Japanese shares (JPY61.8 bln). The dollar is trading at new highs for the week and is approaching JPY99. Resistance is seen in the JPY99.40-60 area.
6. The FOMC statement that refrained from giving fresh hints about the reduction in long-term asset purchases and expressed more concern about low inflation,while characterizing US growth as modest rather than moderate, does not appear to have changed many minds about the likelihood of tapering in September. We do not think that Fed has committed to a Sept move, though the consensus still appears to think so. Today's data, weekly initial jobless claims, PMI/ISM are unlikely to be significant market movers, overshadowed by the BOE/ECB meetings and tomorrow's employment report. Auto sales, while not a market mover, are important as it along with housing is understood to be interest rate sensitive. A modest slowing from the 15.89 mln unit pace in June is expected.

I always enjoy reading Matt Ridley in the Times.
Lord Ridley, as he is correctly known, is a clear headed-thinker on science, the economy and the environment. He's well known as a promoter of shale gas and fracking. In fact he was one of the first people to draw attention to the importance of shale gas, saying in 2011 "shale gas will undoubtedly prove to be a significant new force in the world energy scene, with far-reaching consequences."
Today in the paper he's talking about broadband and the countryside. The government has just decided to halt the rollout of superfast broadband to the last 5% of the population. Big deal? His Lordship certainly thinks so.
It's not just that fast broadband should be considered a vital utility like water and electricity, nor is it just about bridging the gap between poor and rich. Lord Ridley argues that in fact the countryside creates far more output than just farming and forestry (both have to be subsidised anyway). In fact he shows that 98% of the rural economy is not farming or forestry – finance and insurance for example generate twice as much economic impact.
So the countryside matters to the UK economy.
But is the answer for government – actually the taxpayer – to subsidise the eye watering £1 Billion cost of laying down the final 5% of cabling for the remotest communities? in fact there's plenty of evidence that uptake of subsidised fast broadband isn't that high anyway, even when where it is available.
Hold your horses and take a deep breath for a moment!
The world is on the cusp of the 'second machine age': the technological revolution, which is going to deliver exponential changes to the global business environment, and to society. The advent of social media, the sharing economy, zero marginal cost of reproduction, autonomous vehicles, robotics, and AI are simply manifestations of this revolution.
This tech tidal wave is already upon us, folks.
Will we need millions of miles of old fashioned cables costing billions of pounds in the near future?
Not if Google's Project Loon is to be believed.
"Balloon powered internet for everyone" Google reckon. Project Loon is a network of balloons traveling on the edge of space, designed to connect people in rural and remote areas, help fill coverage gaps, and bring people back online after disasters.
So, thousands of tiny balloons, with small repeaters using the latest nanotechnology, floating in the stratosphere, ascending and descending to catch the right wind direction to move to where they are needed.
Google have already quietly trialed this amazing technology above New Zealand, California, and Brazil.
So bye bye old fashioned copper and fibre cable. Far too expensive and impractical.
Let's connect from the sky! This is what's happening in Africa, where they've leapt a generation past old fashioned cables and straight to mobile. And where I live in sunny Monaco the completely wireless internet packs a blistering 1 Gigabits per second. It works beautifully. No cables required at all.
And Google has the money to invest, sitting on $90 Billion. They've got the cash.
So bye bye old fashioned telcos. Who needs BT, Vodafone and AT&T when your device can use What's App (totally secure, and very reliable) and Google's balloons?
Shares in BT, anybody? Or Vodafone? Nah. This tech tsunami's going to wipe those dodos off the face of the FTSE before they've even woken up to what's going on. Can you believe it – the Vodafone signal even drops out in Green Park, and for half of the time on the main train lines?
This isn't the first time I've helped the Chancellor out. Let's pocket that £1 Billion. Sure, let's get the countryside connected. But let's invest it in something that isn't going to be totally obsolete in a few years.

Thank you to our MNA David Birnbaum for taking an interest in this issue. David has taken up the cause of a few emergency services issues very quickly in his mandate out of concern for our residents. His keen interest and quick action is appreciated.
Contrary to what the SQ has stated, Bill 101 does not prohibit English when it comes to public safety as the Montreal Police Department has correctly determined, in large part, in its use of social media. Indeed, there is some question as to whether or not Bill 101 has any jurisdiction at all over the use of Internet communications. Nevertheless, the provincial police has a mandate and duty to communicate, and logically to be understood, by residents of Quebec and visitors to our province. Tweeting in French only is a misinterpretation of their requirements to communicate effectively.
I will follow this dossier closely and next will encourage David to investigate why Transport Quebec is using the same narrow rulebook to exclude any English public safety messages from its enormous digital billboards on autoroutes across Quebec.

Jar of ashes found on WA beach believed to be of Royal Navy chief petty officer
The ashes of what is believed to be a chief petty officer with the Royal Navy, washed up on a Mandurah beach in a glass jar.
Local resident Katie Robinson was walking her dog along Seascapes Beach on Thursday afternoon when she made the discovery.
The ashes were sealed with silicon in a medical test container, which was then attached to the bottom of a glass jar – also sealed with silicon.
The jar also contained a solar light and a note describing its contents.
It read: "Remains of chief petty officer Ken Padgett, Royal Navy. Lived in Auchmithie, Scotland".
Read more:
The note included birth and death details of the petty officer, who passed away in August 2010, at 78 years old.
It also requested that if found, the jar be returned to the ocean.
Ms Robinson said she was going to follow the letter's instructions and throw the jar back into the ocean when the tides were right.
"I actually scattered my sister's ashes here at this beach, because it was one of her favourite spots," she said.
"I'm actually disappointed that I didn't come up with this idea for some of her remains.
"I think it's a brilliant idea for someone who likes the water – and being in the navy all his life obviously he did.
"It's a great way to honour someone's memory.
"I will respect the family and will throw it back into the water and hopefully it will carry it away to some other adventure and some other person will find it and enjoy the pleasure like I did."

Great Camping Food Makes for a Great Camping Trip

Something magical happens when you are camping, apart from creating lasting memories with family and friends; your appetite grows and your enjoyment of food increases tenfold.

Changes in lifestyle could reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease. That was the conclusion of a study conducted by researchers of Heidelberg University's Network Aging Research (NAR), who examined the data from two independent epidemiological studies. Carriers of the ApoE4 genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's may be able to reduce their increased risk of cognitive decline by reducing their cholesterol level, especially if they also suffer from cardiovascular disease. In Germany, approximately 20 percent of the population carries the ApoE4 risk factor. The results of the research were published in "Dementia and Geriatric Cognitive Disorders".
ApoE stands for apolipoprotein E, a protein that plays a critical role in the metabolism of blood lipids. Among other things, it transports cholesterol to nerve cells which the latter require for signal exchange. There are three different genetic variants, or alleles, of the ApoE gene, which contains the blueprint for the ApoE protein. Carriers of the E4 allele, i.e. the ApoE4 genetic variant, have an increased risk of developing Alzheimer's.
Cognitive deficits such as memory lapses can be harbingers of dementia and Alzheimer's but can also occur independently, according to Prof. Dr. Hermann Brenner, Deputy Director of the Network Aging Research (NAR). In the NAR study led by Prof. Brenner at the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ), epidemiologists Dr. Laura Perna and Dr. Ute Mons investigated the extent to which carriers of the E4 allele have a higher risk of cognitive deficits as they age compared to carriers of the other genetic variants. The scientists were particularly interested in the interaction between ApoE4 and cholesterol levels. For their analyses they used blood samples and medical data from two DKFZ epidemiological studies on older adults who also took cognitive tests for memory and concentration capacity. The ESTHER Study included 1,434 individuals over the age of 70, and the KAROLA Study had 366 participants over 50.
The Heidelberg researchers found that the relationship between the ApoE4 risk factor and cognitive deficits, especially memory, was strongest in those with high cholesterol and heart disease. "One possible explanation for the results could be that the brain is especially sensitive to the effects of ApoE4 once it has already been affected by cardiovascular disease and high cholesterol", explains Laura Perna. It is most likely a complex interaction between the various factors. The ApoE4 allele not only increases the risk of Alzheimer's, but is also associated with an increased risk of arteriosclerosis.

The Departed, which is based on the Hong Kong film, Infernal Affairs, was a film I saw when it first came out at the cinemas and thought was amazing, so I'm surprised it's taken me this long to get around to watching the original film that The Departed was based on.
I've seen heaps of Asian films over the years and many of the American remakes, but have always found the originals to be better. So, seeing as how I loved The Departed so much, I was expecting amazing things from the original.
Infernal Affairs follows the very separate lives of two men, though not as separate as they both think. Tony Leung plays Chen Wing-Yan, an undercover cop who has been living with a crime family in Hong Kong for 10 years. Andy Lau plays Lau Kin-Ming, a criminal who has established himself within the Hong Kong police force over the last 10 years and now has a high ranking.
Now, this story gets so complicated with the intertwining stories that it's hard to describe it in only a few sentences. However, I'll just say that these two character's lives interweave throughout the story which keeps you enthralled to the very end.
Even though the storyline is very complicated I never found it got out of hand and was able to retain most of the story in order in my head. However, for the first time ever I have to say that the American remake was better! That's not to say this film wasn't really good, because it was, but The Departed just took what was already good and made it great.
8.5 out of 10 from me!!!

On the HCM Stock Exchange, the VN-Index lost a cumulative 2.38 per cent over the week, closing at 529.49 points on Friday, while the HNX-Index on the Ha Noi Stock Exchange decreased 2.53 per cent during the period, ending the day at 72.31 points.
Pessimistic market outlook prompted many investors to offload shares while securities companies also sold shares pledged as collateral to curtail losses.
Large-cap stocks bore the maximum brunt as most blue chips on both the exchanges plummeted. They were PV Gas (GAS), Vinamilk (VNM), Bao Viet Holdings (BVH), VinGroup (VIC), Vietcombank (VCB) and BIDV Bank (BID) on the HCM City market; Sai Gon-Ha Noi Bank (SHB), Kim Long Securities (KLS), PetroVietnam Construction (PVX), Vinaconex (VCG) and Asia Commercial Bank (ACB) on the Ha Noi bourse.
However, low share prices also attracted plentiful bargains, which pushed the trading volumes up on both the exchanges.
The daily trading volume on the HCM City Exchange rose 7.6 per cent as compared to the previous week, reaching 104.5 million shares worth over VND1.55 trillion (US$73.5 million), while the volume on the Ha Noi market also increased 8.8 per cent, averaging 61.6 million shares, worth VND503.5 million ($23.9 million).
"Complicated developments in the East Sea will continue to be an uncertainty factor for the market in the near future. The market tends to rebound when the Index inches close to 508 points, thanks to bargain fishing, but cautious investor sentiment can lead to a fragile market," noted Nguyen Van Quy, an analyst at FPT Securities Company.
Quy remarked that liquidity had dropped in the last trading sessions and warned that this can be a bad sign for the ongoing recovery trend.
Information regarding nationwide demonstrations by workers to protest China's hostile act in the East Sea created a sense of panic among the local investors and many of them rushed to sell shares in the middle of the week, but steady purchasing by foreign investors cushioned the losses.
During this time, continuous buying by foreign investors was a major support for the market and helped allay investor worries, Quy claimed, adding that foreign buying constituted 20 per cent of the total market volume in several sessions.
Foreign investors bought a net value of VND1.133 trillion ($53.7 million) worth of shares on the HCM City Exchange during the week, focusing on blue chips, such as Hoang Anh Gia Lai Group (HAG), PetroVietnam Drilling and Well Services (PVD), and Hoa Phat Group (HPG).
Foreign investors were also net buyers on the Ha Noi bourse, picking up shares worth a combined total of VND215.1 billion ($10.2 million).
According to many analysts, local investors have overreacted to information on the Viet Nam-China waters dispute, resulting in steep declines in share prices, which led to heavy foreign buying. — VNS

As you probably know, I haven't blogged for awhile. Alot of it had to do with the holidays. Some had to do with sickness (both the kids and myself suffered a nasty stomach virus). And then there were a couple of big snows down here in my neck of the woods in Tennessee.
A big part of my inactivity on Southern-Fried & Horrified during the past couple of weeks was mostly due to the meltdown of Full Moon Press at the end of January. Considering that I had twelve projects in the works with FMP, their sudden collapse meant that more than half of my upcoming publications were suddenly left homeless. Much of my time since FMP's demise has been devoted to damage control; assuring my fans that all was not lost and trying to find a home for those derailed projects.
Although I haven't yet found a home for my Southern horror anthology, Somewhere South of Hell, I have found a new publisher for the Essential Ronald Kelly Collection, which will offer all eight Zebra novels (plus a previously unpublished sequel to Hindsight). Who is this mystery publisher, you might ask? Well, unfortunately, I can't reveal that fact just yet. In the small press, timing and discretion can be a big plus in the success of an upcoming publication. It also has to do with "doing the right thing" when other authors with unannounced projects are involved.
But I do want to share a statement that "Publisher X" has issued to explain a few things. Here it is:
"Dear Ronald Kelly Fans,
Although I am going to remain nameless for now, Ron and I have begun talking about publishing the entire collection of Essential novels. Rest assured these are in good hands and if everyone can be patient while the details are worked out and the tremendous amount of work that is required has begun, it would be greatly appreciated. I know many of you are curious to not only know who will be publishing the Essentials, but how and when as well. The primary reason this is going to remain confidential for now is that I have numerous other projects lined up to be published before starting on the Essentials and it is only fair to the authors and fans of these other works to have each of those official announcements be released to the public beforehand. Plus, as a nice change of pace, the Kelly books will ship soon after their announcement.
Publisher X"
So, as you can see, things aren't as grim and gloomy as they could have been, given the circumstances. Publisher X and I have some great plans for the Essential collection. Sure there is alot of hard work involved, but I think the eventual outcome will be well worth it.
As for my thoughts and reflections on the disasterous Full Moon Press incident, I'll be exploring it in a future blog, so keep an eye open for it.
Right now, I'm just glad to be back in the saddle again... both with blogging and peparing my work for publication. And, of course, a huge thanks to all of you fans and fellow writers out there who have provided me with encouragement and support during the last few weeks. I truly appreciate your helping me through this chaotic and confusing time. Now it's back to business, as usual...

Let me start by saying I have no horse in the race if UK chooses to leave or remain in the EU. I am Irish and currently residing in Switzerland. It is unlikely that Ireland will leave the EU in my lifetime as we have a history of voting for pro EU treaties (sometimes we just keep voting until the "correct" answer is given!). You could say that indirectly I have a horse as Ireland has enjoyed strong reciprocal trading relationships with the UK since we settled our differences, however I don't foresee any damage to that in the coming months regardless of outcome.
Once again however the media has played their usual role of flinging as much poo around the place in hope that something will stick but more importantly for them they will circulate their publications and boost ad revenue. A highly irresponsible way to decide an election but this is the world we live in. This Brexit referendum is becoming quite emotional and aggressive as we hurtle towards the finish line and I would urge most to avoid the newspapers until this is done and take a more calculated approach to their decision.
You could read this and say I'm wrong about this or that, but at the end of the day this is how people come to decisions in a democratic environment, if you don't agree with me or my beliefs that's quite all right by me as it probably means I do not agree with your opinions, but democracy dictates that I have to live with them.
Personally I take a much more sombre approach and with the luxury of not actually having to cast a vote or make a decision I have looked at it from both angles dispassionately.
I believe the notion that has been propagated that if Brexit occurs the UK will be shut out from trade with the EU is utterly false. Yes for a period after the vote their will be a bit of chaos as both importers and exporters seek clarification on where they stand and the terms of trade may suffer on both sides for a while as creditors and debtors will demand payment up front rather than take any risk in the long term. This will of course lend to even more sensational headlines. However, once the dust has settled I tend to believe that people who seek to do business with each other will continue to do so no matter what the set up.
In the interest of fairness I also believe the Brexit camp view that if successful they would enter some kind of Utopian world whereby there exports would suddenly start flying off the shelves again is also utter nonsense. Global trade is not a new phenomenon- the same opportunities and pitfalls will exist on June 24th as did on June 22nd, and it will be up to UK business to adapt and refine products for the market place just like they do know. The notion that it would eliminate inefficiencies and not have to conform to EU rule surrounding products is also crazy as you will still be looking to sell products in to the EU block or did you think you were just going to ignore the world's largest trading bloc?
It is not in the interest of the EU to block transactions with the UK or impose tariffs etc when a considerable number of the member countries have UK as one of their most important trading partners. More importantly if they do such an exercise and are seen to "punish" the UK for simply exercising a democratic freedom that would seem to me as a very foolish endeavor and would certainly turn a few more heads into thinking maybe this EU thing isn't for us either.
Consider the below tables and see how many EU members you can spot in the top 10 nations that export to the UK, more importantly see who is Number one. So Mr. Schauble can throw around passive aggressive comments all he likes but I'm pretty sure the top brass at Volkswagen, BMW and Daimler to name but a few and all the unions that are associated with these organisations might want him to soften his stance a little.
I also reject the notion that In the case of Brexit house prices would collapse 30% as some have been quoted – or I think the chancellor himself picked a number of 10-18% out of his arse at some point. I reject this on a couple of levels.
- No one, and I mean no one has a clue what will happen in the event of Brexit let alone pick how much house prices may or may not fall by
- House prices in the UK have risen steadily over the last 30 years to a point where it is supremely difficult for the average person to get on the ladder so to speak, would it be such a bad thing if house prices fell a little?
- The widely accepted notion that house prices will fall is in my opinion false as in the most recent period of say last ten years growth has largely been fuelled by overseas money entering the UK market due to many factors – rule of law, diversifying revenue streams and most importantly getting their money out of a potentially volatile and dictatorial regime overseas. I cannot see why this would stop, if anything I think it would pick up (don't underestimate the amount of Anti –EU sentiment out there in Europe itself).
- If I were a wealthy European (and I am almost certainly not!) I wouldn't think twice about moving a considerable % of my money into UK assets for diversification purposes. Personally I don't like property as in investment but plenty around me do.
On the issue of the Pound and what might or might not happen to its value I again am totally agnostic or unperturbed.
First of all do not for one second listen to an investment bank who will absolutely be on the front line to benefit from volatility in the pound surrounding this referendum. They get paid to stir the pot and create volatility and will always be on the front line to mop up the blood spill after all is said and done.
Currencies have a way of confounding everyone and also proving everyone both right and wrong on different time frames. Overall I believe the pound will actually get stronger as I genuinely believe there would be more capital inflows into the UK on a case of Brexit, but in the event of a rapid depreciation I think this would provide a nice necessary crutch for UK exporters to fall back on in the potential chaotic scenarios that may exist following the referendum.
Having a look at the UK top exports nothing screams to me as majorly price elastic, UK is not China and does not produce cheap goods that are easily substituted in my humble opinion. Demand for capital type goods will always be there and if anything may slightly tick higher while buyers try to take advantage of a slightly weaker currency thereby allowing the pound to find a natural level.
In respect to immigration it's a tricky one and really has become quite the dominant theme throughout the whole campaign. It's a tricky subject as I only have my own experiences to reflect on in a bubble type environment. I was an immigrant in the UK, worked with many different nationalities from around EU also. However as I was told by a rather racist cabbie once "oh yes mate but you are the good kind of immigrant". Now this guy was actually referring to my skin tone and we needn't go down that road but really the subject of immigration is a highly divisive class issue. No one had a problem with me in my job because I got paid well and contributed large amount of revenue to Her majesty, also I attained my role not because I provided my labour cheaper than the closest UK person but rather because I was better. However the further down the added value chain you go in terms of industry, immigration becomes a highly emotional issue.
I can understand how those in low added value positions can be upset at their jobs been taken by the cheaper alternative, especially if that cheaper alternative happens to be from a different country. The problem itself is actually way more complicated than a simple in or out referendum in my view. And if Cameron really wanted to avoid Brexit I think he could have gone a lot further in the issue of immigration a few years ago and we probably would not be having this referendum at all.
I am a firm believer in free movement of labour. I have been an immigrant in that respect all my life and I have contributed to the country I lived in all through that as well in a positive manner. I currently work in an office with a large number of different nationalities and we get along just fine. Complaining about immigration is like harking back to the days when you could go out have a few pints a bag of chips and still have change for the bus fare home. THOSE DAYS ARE GONE. We all now exist in a more globalised community – learn to engage with it and not fight it. If your job is being replaced by a cheaper means of production well I'm sorry to tell you that is always the case – so has mine and I have had to adapt and deal with it.
It is not immigration that is causing you angst it is a host of other factors that has led to this situation whereby your skills are not valued. Therefore you must change your skills. If you cannot change your skills there are reasons for that too, but it absolutely not the fault of immigrants. Just putting a cap on immigrants or banning them altogether is not going to bring you back to prosperity.
In summary as I always do I congratulate you for reading this far (most don't!). Do I believe that Brexit is a good thing or bad thing? I think that Brexit will not cause the Armageddon like scenarios been thrown around in the press with reckless abandon. Do I think it's the right choice for the UK, yes I probably do. More because I personally do not like what the EU is becoming, I like what it once was – but I do not buy into attempts for further political ties in the future. Europe is a diverse region with many different cultural approaches to life- a one size fits all attitude simply doesn't work in my opinion.
I like free trade
I like free movement of capital and people
I like that a common currency has eliminated a lot of hassle and made cross border transactions easier and set a relative level of prices.
I do not like the thought of a more united Europe politically or the bureaucracy that one would expect from any organisation as large as the EU bloc.
I believe in allowing countries who democratically elect their own government to be able to allow them to govern in the best way for that country, Brexit does not guarantee this would happen either For what it worth.
I do not believe that it is wise to have a governing power of un-elected representatives deciding the fate on many issues from a central point.
Take it from me standing at 6ft 5 and sadly approx. 15 stone – "One size fits all" is almost never the case.
Do I think Brexit will happen ? Probably not, I haven't witnessed many events that I can think of where the majority vote to really change things – usually the status qou wins out by a smidgen. It has been hard for Brexiteers to give any kind of concrete idea of what life would look like the next day should they win as they do not possess a crystal ball. Such a scenario does not lend well to people voting as even if they are fed up with their current situation people often do not want to take the risk that it might get worse (even if they think it will get better)

Due to positive feedback, the coaching team brought back the win-on place for the European Open Championships. This meant an opportunity was given to one handler and dog from each of the heights (small, medium and large) to be automatically selected onto the European Open team after being the top performing dog and handler in a final round held at the Performance Weekend. Natasha Wise with Nedlo Flipping Shiny Pebble, in the large height group; Steven Richardson, who has won this place for two consecutive years, with Ag Ch NoWorries Sweep's Dream, in the medium height group; and Sarah McLean with Milo'd Of Mischief, in the small height group won the coveted spots, and will be joining the rest of the European Open team in Vienna in July.
Team Manager, Mark Laker said "Congratulations to all the handlers who have been selected for this year's teams. It's always a tough decision when there are so many top performing dogs and handlers on the squad. However, the coaching team and I believe we have selected a strong team who can go out to the European Open and the FCI World Championships and win medals."
The teams selected are as follows:
European Open
All competitors at the European Open will get an individual run and be part of a team. Teams will be confirmed nearer the time.
World Championships
T – Team run
I – Individual run
Full results from the performance weekend can be found at http://mobile.firstplaceprocessing.com/. More information on the qualification process for the 2019 squad can be found at www.thekennelclub.org.uk/activities/agility/international-agility-teams/.

Conservatives want to cut even more funding from Environment Canada. You know what, enoughs enough. At a time when weather patterns and flooding and drought and the potential for crazy tornadoes and other weather phenomenon are increasing, we're cutting back on the area of the government that is supposed to keep us informed.
I guess if you're a conservative you don't need fancy pants studies to know the weather. Just read the bible. It's all right there. Sunshine with a chance of locusts. We'd have been warned, but we didn't have any dream-seers with technicolor coats.

Javed Miandad, Wasim Akram say IPL will damage international cricket calendar
Karachi, Apr 19: Two former Pakistan cricket captains Javed Miandad and Wasim Akram have flayed the BCCI-initiated Indian Premier League (IPL), saying it will damage the international cricketŌĆÖs calendar.
They said that international cricketers might even sacrifice their international career to play in IPL for the sake of money.
Miandad said that when the International Cricket Council (ICC) had decided to host the Twenty20 World Championship every alternate year, there was no room for a private league.
ŌĆ£The IPL has already started hurting the international calendar and in the long run it will encourage more private parties and organisations to come in and start their own leagues if they have big money to roll,ŌĆØ the Dawn quoted Miandad as saying.
He said the IPL would create a divide in international cricket and feared players would be willing to sacrifice their international careers to play for more money in the league. ŌĆ£People are comparing the IPL with the Kerry Packer series in the late ŌĆś70s. But these are two totally different things. The Packer series was held when players were paid ridiculously low wages,ŌĆØ added Miandad.
Wasim also raised an alarm in a TV interview, saying that the IPL could prove to be a negative distraction for international players as they could end up preferring to play in private leagues than for their national teams. (ANI)

NEWTON — Mayor Setti Warren on Thursday unveiled an ambitious housing plan for the city that he says will not only provide diverse housing options, but will help preserve the characteristics and values Newton has embodied.
The plan identifies 70 locations across the city as potential development sites, but pinpoints seven as priorities. Some would be mixed-use projects similar to the 68-unit housing and retail complex approved in December for the Austin Street municipal parking lot in Newtonville.
The developments would offer a range of affordable housing options for lower and middle income families, as well as market-rate units.
The sites are privately and publicly owned, and were selected after several community meetings and conversations with each member of the City Council, Warren said.
Top-priority locations include the Marshalls Plaza on Needham Street; the "triangle lot" between Langley and Centre streets in Newton Centre; and the parking lot on Richardson Street by the Massachusetts Turnpike offramp in Newton Corner.
The priority list also includes proposals near the Golda Meir House in Auburndale, where an unused water tower now stands; at the former Parks and Recreation headquarters on Crescent Street; and at Jackson Gardens near the former Aquinas College.
The final priority site is Washington Place in Newtonville, where 171 units are proposed, at least 15 to 20 percent of them affordable.
Warren emphasized during a meeting with the Globe that his plan is a means to "start the conversation" about housing in the city, and while it lays out a blueprint for his vision for Newton's future, it will need buy-in from residents and the City Council in order to take shape.
"This is a recognition that the city is changing, and it's an attempt to preserve what we love about Newton, while giving people of all backgrounds an opportunity to live here," he said. "It would all be in jeopardy if we do nothing."
Warren and his team say the developments would help reinvigorate village centers, provide opportunities for seniors to stay in the city, and attract innovation economy companies by providing nearby housing options.
The plan also calls for zoning amendments to expand options for accessory apartments to be created in single-family homes. It would also raise the requirement of affordable units in developments needing special permits from the current 15 percent to at least 20 percent of the total.
The aim is to reinforce the characteristics that have made Newton desirable, such as diverse neighborhoods with village centers and housing offered at various prices, according to Warren and his team.
Historically, Newton had a mix of housing options that included the estates of Chestnut HIll, mills and housing for their employees in Nonantum and Newton Upper and Lower Falls, and suburban neighborhoods with various price points for middle-income people, including the post-World War II neighborhood of Oak Hill, according to James Freas, associate director of the city's planning department.
That type of diverse housing is giving way to a city where the population is aging, and only the affluent can afford to live, he said.
Figures provided by the city's Planning and Development Department show the current median price to buy a single family home in the city is $1.1 million, up from a median of $855,000 in 2013.
In addition, an inventory of rental properties show that currently there are just four available in the city renting for $1,350, which is 30 percent of the income for someone making $55,000 a year, according to Barney Heath, director for the city's planning department.
For Warren, this issue is personal. He often tells the story of his parents, born in the Bronx and Harlem, New York, who came to Newton and with government veterans housing benefits were able to afford to buy a home in Newtonville where he and his family still reside.
"My whole reason for running for mayor was to make sure every family has that same opportunity to move here," he said.
Not everyone in the city agrees with his strategy.
The Newton Village Alliance is a group formed in opposition to the Austin Street development whose stated mission is to "preserve the character and scale of Newton's villages and residential neighborhoods," among other things, according to its website.
Members have consistently attended community meetings to object to the idea of putting mixed-use, high-density developments in village centers and other locations, arguing that Newton is a city where residents want trees and green space, not more development.
They, as well as other residents not aligned with the group, have also voiced opposition to the Washington Place proposal for the Orr Building at the Corner of Washington and Walnut Streets in Newtonville that is now winding its way through the city's approval process.
But Warren says his second term is committed to finding a way of creating "a foundation of opportunity" in the city after focusing his first term on stabilizing the city's finances and addressing infrastructure and building needs.
His plans go beyond housing. His administration is also looking at transportation policy that not only tries to improves roads and intersections, but also creates a more walkable and bikeable city, he said. And, he's trying to broaden the tax base enticing companies to move to the innovation districts near Needham Street and in Nonantum rather than Cambridge and Boston.
"Beyond great education, what else do we need to look at to make sure people can be self-sustaining here in Newton?" he asked.
Once that is determined, he said, he'll shape policy "to try and move the needle."
