India: Rise of dengue fever cases in Bihar following heavy rain October 7 /update 3
Rise of dengue fever cases following heavy rain in Bihar state October 7; flooding to ease in the coming days, weeks
Read all related news alert(s):
India: Death toll from nationwide flooding rises above 2100 Oct. 9 /update 4
India: More than 140 killed following heavy rain and flooding in several northern states October 1 /update 2
India: More than 110 dead following heavy rain and flooding in several northern states September 30 /update 1
Heavy downpour and associated flooding have triggered a sharp rise in dengue cases in Patna (Bihar state), with 231 new reported cases between Friday, September 27, and Saturday, October 5. Since January 2019, 900 cases have been confirmed through the state, including 640 cases in the Patna area.
In Bihar, the death toll due to flooding rose to 97. Parts of the areas of Kankarbagh, Rajendra Nagar, Gardani Bagh, Dak Bungalow, Sk Puri, Patna's low-lying areas were still flooded as of Sunday, October 6. Between Saturday, October 5, and Sunday, October 6, 90 cm (35.4 in) of rain fell over the city.
The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) forecast on Sunday that monsoon rains will retreat from northwestern states after Monday, October 7. The situation should improve in Bihar in the coming days as the waters of Ganga and Punpun rivers recedes. Relief operations are still underway in the affected areas.
Symptoms of dengue fever include fever, headache, muscle and joint pain, fatigue, nausea, and rashes. Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is a potentially deadly complication that is characterized by high fever, the enlargement of the liver, and hemorrhaging.
Heavy rain and flooding are relatively common during the summer monsoon, which usually hits India from July to September.
Over the last decades, deforestation, degradation of water bodies, and climate change have increased the total flood prone area across the country. This year monsoons have already delivered ten percent more rain than the average and are expected to withdraw one month later than usual. According to authorities, 1673 people have been killed nationwide by heavy rain and flooding since June as of Sunday, September 29.
Individuals in the affected areas are advised to monitor local weather reports and to take measures to protect themselves from mosquito bites - e.g. by wearing covering clothing, using insect repellent, and sleeping under mosquito netting or in an air-conditioned room. Avoid areas directly affected by flooding, confirm road conditions and flight reservations before setting out, and adhere to instructions issued by local authorities. Avoid walking or driving through floodwaters; 15 cm (6 in) of running water is enough to knock over an adult.

Team Liquid takes RaidCall D2L title
Team Liquid won the RaidCall D2L after they defeated Team Dignitas in their second encounter of the day. Team Liquid walked away with $5,000 while Dignitas will have to settle for $3,000.
In an all-American grand final, Team Liquid narrowly defeated Team Dignitas 3-2 to secure the RaidCall D2L title and $5,000 in cash. Team Dignitas settled for second and $3,000.
This is the second Dignitas and Liquid's second encounter of the day, the first one being won by Team Dignitas in the Winner Bracket final. Team Liquid came into the grand final from the loser bracket after defeating Team Empire and started the grand final with a one game deficit.
|Dignitas vs Liquid
Game two was a fairly quick affair for Team Liquid. Liquid went for a very pushing and/or split pushing oriented heroes while Dignitas picked to go for individual kills. After picking up a few kills in the early game phase, Liquid quickly grouped up and started mowing down towers after towers. By 26 minutes into the game, Liquid has taken down their first rax and the game was quickly over. Liquid 1-1
In game three, Team Liquid started out dominating the early phase of the game with great initiation heroes such as Batrider and Storm Spirit to force Dignitas to fight. Their dominance lasted for about 25 minutes until Dignitas started poking away on their mistakes and by 44 minutes, the game was dead even. Liquid won a few good fights towards the late game propelled by a good Reverse Polarity steal by ixmike88's Rubick which sealed Team Liquid the win.
Dignitas went to work in game four after losing two straight games to tie up the series at 2-2. Sneyking's Templar Assassin destroyed Puck in the middle and started roaming around the map ganking. Capitalizing on the early lead, Dignitas pushed into Liquid's high ground but Liquid heroes were too underleveled to even defend their final push. Although Dignitas was held back after they got too greedy in killing heroes, a second push ended the game at 24 minutes. The kill score was 16-3.
Despite managing to take down towers very early on, careless plays from Dignitas allowed Liquid to stay in the game and buy time for their Phantom Lancer to farm. Phantom Lancer picked up his Diffusal Blade and Drums at 16 minutes. Dignitas tried to force the teamfight but the Brewmaster and Keeper of the Light is just too good in the early team fights. Liquid took down the Roshan after a long continuous fight and soon after, the game and the championship.

Hi I am emailing because I want advice and support. I have created a website http://www.useyourcommunity.com which is a directory of local community organisations offering services across London. I created this because I realised talking to people that many people did not know which organisations were in their local area and what they were offering. My website has a simple postcode search so all you need to do is type in the first part of your postcode and it will tell you who is in your area. Currently getting 20,000 hits per month. I would welcome advice on where I can add value to what is already available and not duplicate. Should I add more information about mental health? please feel free to comment. I would welcome your advice. Thanks
I used to be in Gresham 2 now I'm out.

Student loans get a bad rep, but for many, they represent the only way to pay for college. It's the ultimate catch-22. Still, one in three borrowers actually regret taking out student loans, and it isn't all that surprising that 46% of millennial borrowers don't want their kids to end up in the same boat.
The silver lining? There are other ways to finance college — you just have to know where to look. Here are some insider hacks for helping your kids prepare for college without student loans.
Be smart with your savings
Melissa Sotudeh, a certified financial planner and director of advisory services at Halpern Financial, said one of the best ways to get into the habit of saving is to make it a line item on your monthly budget. Wherever you start, try increasing your contributions periodically as you gradually get on more solid financial ground.
"At $25 a month, you're definitely not going to be able to cover all four years of even a state school, but what you might have is an amount that will bring even a reasonably priced university into the realm of possibility, and lower what potentially the student might have to borrow," Sotudeh told Student Loan Hero.
Consider these powerful savings vehicles.
529 plans: When it comes to bulking up your kids' college funds — and cutting your dependency on student loans — the 529 is by far your best option. It allows you to put away money for college that will grow tax-free. You also won't be hit with taxes when the time comes to cash in.
"If there's anything I can stress to parents, it's the earlier [you start contributing] the better, because the longer you have the money in there to compound is a tremendous advantage to you as a parent," said Paul Sydlansky, a certified financial planner and founder of Lake Road Advisors. "If you have the ability to put a large lump sum in when the child is born, that's going to make such a larger difference than playing catch up."
The money you put into a 529 plan can be used for a number of qualifying education expenses like tuition, books, and room and board. And if your child ends up getting a scholarship, that money isn't lost. Sydlansky said you can either put their 529 account into another child's name or pay a 10% penalty on the growth and take back the money.
These types of college savings plans vary from state to state, but some states offer an additional tax benefit. In Arkansas, for example, a portion of 529 contributions are tax-deductible.
IRAs: Your retirement savings are, well, for retirement. But if you're in a pinch, Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) could help your child avoid student loans. Under normal circumstances, pulling money out of a traditional IRA before age 59 1/2 translates to a 10% penalty. You'll also be on the hook for paying taxes on that money. Roth IRAs are different in that they're funded with after-tax dollars, so you can actually withdraw your contributions at any time, tax-free — unless you tap your earnings early, in which case you'll be slapped with a 10% penalty.
For both accounts, you can sidestep this penalty if you use your distributions for qualified higher education expenses including tuition, books, supplies and room and board. You just have to spend it on yourself, your spouse, your kids or your grandkids, and the student has to be enrolled in a degree program at least half time.
IRAs have one other built-in benefit: If your child scores enough in grants and scholarships and you don't need your IRA to pay for college, you'll have more money left over for retirement. Unlike 529s, you won't have to pay a penalty to draw on those funds for non-education expenses later down the road.
Regular savings accounts: You won't earn the best return parking your kids' college cash in a regular savings account; the highest yield you can expect these days is 2.25%. You'll also miss out on the tax benefits of a 529 or IRA. However, there is one major perk — you can access it whenever you want penalty-free. And if you've been steadily contributing to it over the course of many years, chances are you've built up a solid stockpile of cash that can be used for any college expenses you want. No restrictions.
Coverdell ESA: If you earn less than $110,000 per year ($220,000 if you file your taxes jointly), a Coverdell Education Savings Account (ESA) can help maximize your savings efforts. You can contribute up to $2,000 per year, which will grow tax-free. You also won't be taxed on distributions, as long as you don't withdraw more than your child's education expenses. But if you tap this money for non-qualified expenses, you'll have to pay income taxes on the earnings and a 10% penalty. Since the contribution limit does cap out, Coverdell ESAs might make for a great supplementary savings vehicle that you kick into on top of, say, a 529 plan.
One other note: The money must be used within 30 days of the beneficiary's 30th birthday. If not, you'll have to take a non-qualified distribution of the leftover money. To avoid this, you could change the beneficiary to another sibling or relative, or roll the money over to a 529 plan, which doesn't have an age limit. (FYI, the age limit doesn't apply to special-needs beneficiaries.)
Hunt for grants and scholarships
Grants tend to be gift aid that's based on financial need. Scholarships, on the other hand, are usually merit-based. Mark Kantrowitz, publisher and vice president of research at SavingForCollege.com, said one of the best places to find them is online. (Fastweb is one of his favorites. You can also find a comprehensive list of sites here.)
"Focus on free," he told Student Loan Hero. "If you have to pay money to get money, it's probably a scam."
The internet isn't your only resource. Kantrowitz pointed to your high school counselor's office or college financial aid office as a great place to search for scholarships. The same goes for private organizations. The Florida PTA, for example, doles out $2,000 scholarships to qualifying high school seniors.
Encourage your child to participate.
Opt for AP courses or dual enrollment opportunities. Advanced Placement (AP) courses allow high school students to take college-level classes, essentially reducing their future college course load — and shaving their tuition costs. To actually earn college credit, the student usually has to score a three out of five on each AP exam, which costs $94 a pop. AP requirements vary from high school to high school.
Dual enrollment is another option that lets students take college classes while still in high school. Requirements, which usually include a GPA minimum, are often set by the high school and the state.
"One benefit of dual enrollment is you can use 529 money to pay for some of the cost, whereas AP tests you can't," said Kantrowitz.
Dual enrollment courses can cost up to $400. Just be sure to check with the college you plan on attending to see if your dual enrollment or AP credits will indeed transfer over.
Consider part-time work."If you want to reduce your debt, one of the best ways to do that is winning scholarships and saving for college," said Kantrowitz. "Every dollar you save, and every dollar you win, is a dollar less you'll have to borrow."
In other words, every little bit helps. Socking away your earnings from a part-time job certainly won't cover all your college expenses, but it could make a nice little dent. Some companies even offer tuition assistance. For part-time employees, Aetna will pay up to $2,500 for courses that are for a degree program or otherwise related to your job or career.
Fill out the FAFSA. The earlier you fill out the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid), the better. Many colleges and states use it to grant financial aid. In fact, roughly 75% of full-time students end up receiving grant aid to help pay for college. Kantrowitz said that grants are generally considered gift aid that's based on financial need, so your FAFSA should be at the top of your to-do list.
Teach basic personal finance
One of the best ways to foster financial independence is to actively teach it to your kids. A 2016 Council for Economic Education study found that students who graduated high school in states that mandated financial education were more likely to have higher credit scores at age 22.
For younger kids, Sotudeh recommended teaching them the concept of spend/save/give. Whether they receive four quarters or $100 — spend some, save some and donate some. It's an exercise designed to reinforce delayed gratification and curb impulsive spending.
"To teach [high school kids] about credit cards, I'd show them how much more something costs if they have a credit card and what the percentage is versus paying for it now," she said.
Budgeting is the other side of the coin. Sotudeh suggested sitting down with your kids as soon as they begin earning an allowance or money from an after-school job. How much are they bringing in? Do they have any bills? The idea is to lay the foundation that you can't spend more than you make; something that'll come in handy once they're living on their own.
When they're preparing to leave the nest for college, crunch some numbers with them so they can see exactly how much further their money will go with a little financial forethought. Buying used textbooks, meal planning and carpooling to class can help them stretch their cash during college and beyond.
Consider community college and state schools
On average, full-time students at public two-year colleges receive more than enough grant aid and federal tax benefits to cover tuition and fees, according to the College Board. Beginning your higher education journey at a community college and knocking out those general education requirements before transferring to a state school could be a powerful way to reduce your college expenses.
If you're set on going directly to a four-year university, Kantrowitz recommended setting your sights on an in-state public college. "You can get just as good a quality education, but for a quarter to a third of the price of a private four-year college," he said.
Ask friends and family to contribute
Don't be afraid to invite family and friends to play a role in your child's future. "What I'm seeing now is people setting up these [529] accounts, then alerting families at gift-giving occasions that they can contribute directly to the plans," said Sotudeh.
It's something your child will be grateful for come high school graduation. The ultimate savings goal, according to Sotudeh, is roughly 80% of estimated college costs. Another option is turning to crowdfunding. Search for "college funds" on platforms like GoFundMe and you'll see thousands of campaigns.
Setting up one for your child directs friends and family to an easy way to donate.
The bottom line
College grads are burdened with more student debt than ever before. Sixty-nine percent of 2018 graduates took out student loans to help cover the bill, and their average debt came in at $29,800. The upside is that scholarships and grants can greatly reduce your debt burden.
Smart saving is equally important, as is getting your children involved.
Paying for college isn't cheap, but some intentional thinking can go a long way in breaking free from student loans.

Centrica plc, the U.K.-based parent company of Direct Energy, partnered with Qatar Petroleum to buy $1 billion in natural gas and crude oil assets in western Canada Monday from Suncor Energy. Direct Energy will now own the production assets to supply 60% of its retail gas customers in North America. Currently, they provide 20% of its own gas. Centrica will operate the business, which is subject to regulatory approval of the Canadian government.
The $1-billion deal is the largest Centrica has ever done in North America. Centrica "wanted Suncor's conventional properties because they are legacy assets and it believes technology such as multistage horizontal fracturing can improve the wells' production," said Wes Morningstar, a Calgary-based senior vice-president with the company, when speaking to The Globe and Mail.
Badar Kahn, CEO of Direct Energy, told the Houston Business Journal, "It [the acquisition] put us in a great footing to carry on growing our business in North America with the confidence that we're managing the risks in the wholesale market."

UML Distilled: A brief guide to the standard object modelling language
(3rd Edition)
by Martin Fowler
UML Distilled is good. It is written carefully and concisely and has been heavily revised to cover UML 2. It is a opinionated book – it presents Martin Fowler's view of UML. This is a good thing. Fowler concentrates on the parts of UML that he has found widely used in the industry, and the most useful in his own work. Fowler is not bound by the UML specification, he also describes "non-normative" diagrams (ie, variations on UML which are not standard but widely used). Fowler often provides his own view on a particular diagram or component. For example, I've often wondered when to use aggregation rather than association in a class diagram. Fowler cleared this up for me:
"Aggregation is strictly meaningless; as a result, I recommend that you ignore it in your own diagrams. If you see it in other people's diagrams, you'll need to dig deeper to find out what they mean by it. Different authors and teams use it for very different purposes."
UML Distilled starts with an introduction about UML's history and aims, and then a rapid look at different development methodologies and where to fit UML into them.
The core of the book covers the following diagrams/specs:
Class Diagrams
Sequence Diagrams
Object Diagrams
Package Diagrams
Deployment Diagrams
Use Cases
State Machine Diagrams
Activity Diagrams
Communication Diagrams
Composite Structures
Component Diagrams
Interaction Overview Diagrams
Timing Diagrams
Class diagrams and sequence diagrams are covered in detail, the other diagrams more briefly. The book is quite short, but gives enough information on each topic to allow you to understand and draw the diagrams. At the end of each chapter, there is a helpful "where to find out more" section and a "when to use this type of diagram" section.
There is also an appendix at the end of the book on changes between various versions of UML.
The book is surprisingly easy to read. Fowler's style is clear and friendly and examples are well chosen.
My only complaint is that perhaps the book could have been a little longer to allow a bit more detail on some of the diagram types. I would have liked to have read a little bit more on object diagrams in particular.
I'd recommend the book to anyone who wants a rapid and concise introduction to or revision of UML 2.
Rating: 9/10

They have more than 12 flavors to choose from (Coconut, Strawberry, Green Apple, Ferrero Rocher, Mascarpone, Tiramisu, Almond, Mango, Green Tea, etc). You don't have to worry because all of them are really rich and yummy. I've tried all of them thanks to owner Kathlenn Gaw. :) I heard that they have new flavors in store for everyone (I have to come back soon and try them)
Aside from the gelato (which costs 95 pesos for the small container and 150 for the bigger one, and 160 for the sugar cone), they have a mix of the gelato and pastries (Al Forno) - Carrot Cake Al Forno with Cream Cheese (Php 195), Banana Walnut (Php 195), and the Molten Chocolate (Php 225).
Lastly, but definitely not the least (because this instantly became my favorite), the Affogato (Php 150) - Coffee Espresso and 2 scoops of gelato of your choice (you mix the espresso with the gelato to have a very delicious drink) XD

|The dynamics of preferential host switching: host phylogeny as a key predictor of parasite prevalence and distribution
Jan Engelstaedter & Nicole Fortuna
Recommended by Lucy Weinert based on reviews by Damien de Vienne and Nathan Medd
Shift or stick? Untangling the signatures of biased host switching, and host-parasite co-speciation
Many emerging diseases arise by parasites switching to new host species, while other parasites seem to remain with same host lineage for very long periods of time, even over timescales where an ancestral host species splits into two or more new species. The ability to understand these dynamics would form an important part of our understanding of infectious disease.
Experiments are clearly important for understanding these processes, but so are comparative studies, investigating the variation...

Scientific Instrumentation
The Scientific Instrumentation programme offered at the Jena University of Applied Sciences is designed to prepare the student for employment in research and development focusing on technical and scientific instruments or processes.The aim is to enable students to design and develop scientific instruments on their own initiative and to manage and coordinate research and development projects.
For more than a century now, Jena has been known as a technological centre specialising in the development and production of scientific instruments. Both the industry and the research institutes based in this city are involved in applied physics, physics technology, optics, precision engineering, measurement technology, sensor engineering, micro- and nanotechnology and medical engineering.
The development of high-tech processes and cutting-edge measurement techniques and instruments are crucial to industrial competitiveness.
The master course Scientific Instrumentation is taught in English language.
The Scientific Instrumentation programme is a postgraduate course of study. It presupposes the completion of the precision engineering or physics engineering Bachelor's degree programmes or other courses of study in physics or engineering sciences.
Mehr Infos zum Studiengang? Besuche die Website!
The programme has been designed to equip students with both the technical and interdisciplinary qualifications necessary for the successful pursuit of their future careers. Apart from contents of the course in physics and engineering science, this also includes the socalled key qualifications. In the first semester in addition to the compulsory modules a selection of postgradual basis modules in the fields of applied physics or precision engineering is offered to bring students from different disciplines up to the same level. In the second semester, students select four fields of specialization from a choice of eight (see above).
The language of instruction is English. In a research internship in semester three the students are introduced into scientific research work. Students are supposed to write their Master's thesis in the fourth semester. The thesis will focus on specific aspects of fundamental research or development in the field of technology and is written at our University of Applied Sciences, at a foreign partner university, at a research institute or in the R&D department of an industrial firm. A thesis is written under the joint scientific supervision of the relevant institution and the University of Applied Sciences Jena. The Master's programme is presented in modular form. Under the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS), students receive a fixed number of credits for every successfully completed teaching module. This system facilitates the recognition of students' coursework, should they change universities in their home country or abroad.

The entry requirement for the Master's degree programme is a university degree with competent final degree grades in physics, science or a scientific engineering discipline whose curriculum covers the subject entry requirements (e.g. physics, physics engineering, microtechnology, precision engineering, mechanical engineering, mechatronics, electrical engineering, electronics ). English proficiency is also mandatory. The postgradual basis modules in semester one are assigned to the students depending on their Bachelor course to bring all the students with their different background to a comparable level.

The King in Yellow by Robert Chambers is in the public domain and can be downloaded here.
The King in Yellow is a collection of short stories and considered classic weird fiction. Lovecraft was inspired by this collection and wrote about it extensively in his essay Supernatural Horror in Literature.
Lovecraft states in Supernatural Horror in Literature, "The King in Yellow, a series of vaguely connected short stories having as a background a monstrous and suppressed book whose perusal brings fright, madness, and spectral tragedy, really achieves notable heights in cosmic fear in spite of uneven interest and a somewhat trivial and affected cultivation of the Gallic studio atmosphere made popular by Du Maurier's Trilby."
The King in Yellow gained popularity last year when the HBO series True Detective referenced it. Some common Lovecraftian tropes are found in this collection:
• a mysterious book with the power to cause insanity: The play The King in Yellow
• an occult symbol with unknown power: the yellow sign
• An otherworldly figure: the mysterious King in Yellow
• a lost place, Carcosa, whose twin suns and strange moons mean that is it not of this earth.
There are 9 stories in this collection, 4 of which reference the King in Yellow, a play that makes people who read it go insane. It's honestly rather baffling why these stories are all together in one volume, the last two having no supernatural elements at all. Chambers spent most of his career churning out popular romance novels, and the last two tales in this collection lean more towards romance than horror. Chambers attended art school in France, and artists and Paris are featured in this collection.
Lovecraft states in Supernatural Horror in Literature, "One cannot help regretting that he did not further develop a vein in which he could easily have become a recognized master."
It is perhaps this difference that makes Chambers work unique as the romantic element gives the tales a haunted feel.
A nice biography of Chambers and his effect on Lovecraft can be found at the Miskatonic University Department of Literature here.
I have read so much about the King in Yellow that finally reading the original tales was a bit of a let down. They are interesting to be sure, but I was still left thinking, "that it?" The KIY mythos has been expanded on so much that I just thought there would be more Don't get me wrong, the tales are very creepy and well written. I think part of the let down is that because the original King is Yellow is old and obscure it gets wrapped into the mystique of the actual King in Yellow mythology. I had the dreamy thought that some great and horrifying knowledge would be revealed to me once I read this collection, and that didn't happen. The first four stories are excellent weird fiction.
The stories in order:
The Repairer of Reputations: a must read. This tale is an excellent example of first person storytelling. It's not until later in the story that I began questioning the mental stability of the narrator, even though there were clues early on that this man did not have all of his marbles.
The Mask: A sculptor discovers a substance that turns living things into marble. Someone reads The King in Yellow. Horror ensues.
In the Court of the Dragon: A churchgoers is disturbed by a creepy organist. "Then I sank into the depths, and I heard the King in Yellow whispering to my soul: "It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God."
The Yellow Sign: This is what Lovecraft feels is Chambers most powerful tale. An artist and his model read the King in Yellow and are accosted by a wormy graveyard watchman.
The Desmoiselle D'Ys: This is a cute supernatural romance tale. The only reference to the King in Yellow is a hunter named Hastur.
The Prophet's Paradise: Weird: not even really a story but a series of short scenes.
The Street of the Four Winds: A short tale that involves cat and a dead person.
The Street of Our Lady of the Fields: eh I couldn't read it.
Rue Baree: Some rich art school boys like a mysterious pretty poor girl they see walking around. It turns awkward when one boy gets drunk and climbs into the window of the girl's room, gets embarrassed, and leaves.
After reading KIY, I researched the Ambrose Bierce stories that first name Hastur and Carcosa. Both stories can be found in his short story collection, Can Such Things be? The last two stories in the book: Haita the Shephard and An Inhabitant of Carcosa are the inspirations for Hastur and Carcosa.I think that besides the name, Inhabitant of Carcosa was more of an inspiration for The Desmoiselle D'Ys plot-wise.
Bottom Line: The first 4 tales should be read if you want to be a weird fiction completest, or if you are planning on writing in this Mythos. The King in Yellow mythos is very sparse, raises more questions than it answers, and has lots of room for expansion.

We are fast approaching the end of the Summer Holidays.
For me it is over, as I am back to work this week. Tom and Elsie still have a week to go but it will be largely spent indoors now as we have well and truly blown the budget.
This week we have done the school uniform, new shoes, bags etc and now we will be living on toast until payday.
Every year I ask myself if it is really necessary for school uniform to be quite so expensive? This year, I am asking why it is compulsory for them to have the schools navy blue sports socks and not the navy blue sports socks from the high street, which are less than half the price? Will the light blue stripe that runs around the top of the school sock make any difference to ability of the child to take part in any sporting activity? Will they become faster, more agile or more able? No. They will simply be the same as everyone else. In theory at least.
I say in theory because as is my experience with all things school related, there are those that comply and those that don't.
"Compulsory" school uniform gets added quite regularly to the do's and don'ts of the school manifesto. In previous years it was largely centred on the actual day-to-day uniform for both boys and girls. However, if you were lucky enough to have boys you were quids in, as boys only required the school blazer and a tie, the rest of the uniform, black trousers, white shirts etc you could buy from any retailer. Bad news though, if you had all girls, as they were required to have the kilt, the blouse, a jumper and a blazer, all with the school logo emblazoned across it. Why? I don't know, just because. It was decided the girls couldn't have plain white blouses, they should have blue blouses and they should have a tiny logo stitched on to the collar of the blouse, this would make them much harder to lose. The girls I mean not the blouses. The school uniform still seems to get lost at an alarming rate.
I have one of each variety, a boy and a girl and so while I can indeed enjoy the luxury of buying Tom's school trousers and shirts from a cheaper high street retailer if I so desire, this luxury is not afforded to me for Elsie.
The other thing that really grates on me is (I have started, so I may as well go for it now), is the that the older you get the more expensive it is. Recently there was much debate when it was discovered that some retailers were charging more for their plus size ranges of the same items. Shock, horror! The shock and horror of it is not really new, retailers by and large will always find a way to stealth more money from the consumer somewhere if they can get away with it and let's be honest, usually they do. I wholeheartedly disagree with the ridiculous notion that more material means more money, it is the biggest load of shit I have ever heard.
I am only just over 5 ft tall but I do not expect to get my trousers cheaper than someone who is 10 inches taller than me. Sometimes just finding some that actually fit is hard enough. So hard in fact that when you do find a pair you are likely to pay well over the odds for them because you wont have to pay to have someone take them up for you.
Charging for big clothes, or bigger clothes is rubbish. One of the biggest cons of the modern age. With every size increment in the school uniform the price goes up, by anything from £1.50 – £3.00 an item. I have told Elsie that I will be strapping her boobs down if they grow anymore. You think I'm joking?
I get the school uniform thing I do and I believe it is important for lots of reasons. I also understand that girls in particular are prone to adjusting school uniforms and so this is being made increasingly hard by way of design. It is also makes it harder for them to manipulate the uniform, for example; there are many types of white blouses for girls and so in an effort to minimize the designer babies from the hand me down have not's they have to wear a school issue blouse. I get it, I do. What I don't get is, why it is so bloody expensive?
In life as with most things there are those that can easily afford and those that struggle to. I, unfortunately, fall in to the latter category and while I realise that a school uniform is important and I do my best to adhere to the school polices when it comes to most things, I do have to question the validity of the navy blue sports sock. This is made all the harder to swallow when you know full well that there will be parents out there who will just flatly refuse to buy the navy blue sport sock or their little darling will refuse to wear the navy blue sport sock and will still be in PE with his/her black Nike ones.
It is not the rebel in me (although I am struggling to keep a lid on her), that doesn't want to get the bloody socks but just the hard-working Mother who can think of many other things she could buy instead. In an email received from the school the other day it stipulated that not only were there additions to the "compulsory" school uniform this year, you would no longer be allowed to wear a coat that wasn't blue or black and in the Winter if you needed to wear a hat, scarf or gloves they should also be blue or black. No bright colours would be acceptable. Now this really does bring out the rebel in me. No bright colours, this is a school not a detention centre. A red scarf will surely not turn everyone in to a raging bull. If it did I would buy one for the idiot that came up with that idea.
Elsie though will not hear of going back to school without the newly required navy sport socks, as all her friends have them and she will not be the only one who doesn't have them, nor do I want her to be but a sport sock is a sport sock. Surely? Not to Elsie, who has been twittering on about these sport socks since the holidays began. I will get a pair just to get some peace and bloody quiet.
I have ordered two pairs of the new navy blue sports socks, a pair each for both Tom and Elsie. Tom, who has made no mention of school all holiday and doesn't even know what month we are in anymore, will have lost his by week 3, as I am sure will most of the boys in his year. That is of course if he remembers to take them with him in the first place.

"The great promise of digital economics was Das große Versprechen der digitalen Ökonomie war, that without mighty middlemen, customer access would be mor democratic, more direct and more transparent."

From 2017 to 2018 0, the Google's display tkp increased by 51% in the United States and the cost per click is up 83 percent, while the click-through rate has decreased by 27 percent. Pretty much the same holds true for customer acquisition costs—the hard currency in the digital marketing.

"Direct to consumer brands". In other words, companies that rely on a direct relationship with their customers and on content and the creation of communities.
As before, when Kircher with founding partner Burkhardt were responsive with an invite to business lunch toward the request of a hungry graphic designer, the Austrian is on his toes with what may be a cardinal fault of digital economics, he seeks to disrupt.
Easier done than said, all you business people need to do is to decide in favor of a platform for your business, that is by all means owned by you, open source and safe to stay in your ownership in the foreseeable future.
A place on popular social media aggregators won't guarantee any of that, keep social media in mind though to drive traffic to a business place owned by you, and create your own community with content and the help of newsletters.
Thereby the execution and design won't necessarily need be contracted to a renowned company, an 18-year-old developer may often be done faster and far more affordable than a renowned company with its administrative overhead. I take it that small businesses in the US are long aware of the effects.
Make sure though that the briefing states for all measurements and tools to be used be open source.

By Mike Bethea, CEO, OTC Solutions
What is PBRI?
The Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) now uses Performance Based Risk Inspection (PBRI) in their efforts to reduce the likelihood of adverse events and compliance issues across the Gulf of Mexico (GOM). The criteria utilized to prioritize facilities targeted for PBRI in the GOM included Production Volumes, Age, Number of Personnel and INC History.
Earlier this year, the Office of Safety Management (OSM) reviewed the latest compliance and incident data (from 2016 and 2017) to identify incident trends across the Gulf. They found 178 crane incidents were reported to BSEE by 30 different operators, highlighting a potential risk associated with cranes and lifting safety. The Agency also issued 103 crane-related incidents of non-compliance (INCs) during the same timeframe.
The review of this data led BSEE to conduct its first PBRI blitz focused on Cranes and Lifting Devices. The PBRI, which was a joint exercise between BSEE and the United States Coast Guard, included 30 production platforms and 10 well operations in the GOM, which were operated by 14 operators. As a result of the findings, BSEE highlighted several concerns, all of which are significant and worthy of review. You can read the full list here.
OTC's perspective on PBRIs
At OTC, we believe the introduction of PBRIs is a smart approach by BSEE. It allows them to directly focus inspection on key areas of concern and to delve deeper than is possible in ordinary inspections. The findings released and subsequent Safety Alerts point to an overall concern that operators must address. This first inspection blitz focused on cranes and lifting devices and OTC expects to see follow-up inspections in the same area. So, at a minimum, operators should inspect and evaluate the condition and compliance of every crane and lifting device in service. OTC inspectors can certainly help with this process.
It stands to reason that Operators are now wondering where future PBRI will focus. Perhaps a better approach than focusing on where BSEE will focus would be to review your own data to identify risk. All Operators collect compliance data. The key to improving safety and compliance is managing that data.
OTC has done some groundwork on this and identified areas of risk based on our own inspection findings in the GOM, so we can guide operators on potential areas of concern. We certainly don't know where BSEE will focus in the future, but we can help operators review their own internal data combined with our inspection data over the past 10 years and recommend embarking on internal PBRI independent of BSEE.
BSSE took the lead on assessing the INC data and determining where to look and what to look at. That leadership should result in operators doing the same, and to be fair, some may do this already. However, not everyone has the resources to manage compliance data and assess for risk in this manner. OTC stands ready to assist Operators with internal PBRI, from data review and management to field inspection and reporting. Call us at today on (985) 727-7400 to find out more about how we can help you with your own PBRI.

Factors to Consider When Choosing ADT Home Security Systems
To ensure protection and security of your family and possessions, you may need to install a home security system. Based on the fact there is a large variety of ADT home security system, choosing the most suitable one can be quite a daunting task. Before settling on an ADT home security system, you may need to look into some tips as will be highlighted here, to make an informed choice.
The cost of the home security system you intend to install is an important factor you may need to put into consideration before making a purchase. You should settle on a home security system that falls within your budget. Price is an important aspect when making a purchase, however, the quality is more important.
The reputation of the brand is also an important aspect you may need to look into when selecting a home security system. Since a brand's reputation tells a lot about the quality of products or services it offers, you should settle on a brand that is reputable when choosing a home security system. Since clients are known to offer honest opinions, having a chat with them will give you a clear picture of the brand's reputation, hence make an informed choice. In as much as the overall rating is important for decision making, it is advisable to go through each individual review before making your choice.
The type of home security system that suits your needs and preferences whether monitored or unmonitored system. Most homeowners prefer the unmonitored home security system due to the fact that it does not have monthly charges, and also have the ability to notify you in case of any suspicious occurrence on your premises. With an unmonitored home security system, you will need to be close to your phone at all times to be able to respond to the notifications on time. A monitored home surveillance security system will assure you of reliability since your house will be kept under watch all through. Before settling on a either a monitored or unmonitored home security system, it is advisable to weigh the pros and cons of each system, and settle on the one that best suits your needs and preferences. When choosing a home security system, you should also consider if you would like a wired or a wireless system.
Lastly, before settling on a home security system, you should also consider what you want to protect. A family, home and possessions are what comes to most people's minds when it comes to security. With this regard, you should undertake a preliminary security assessment to determine the level of security and protection required for your home.

Clingman's Dome - Great Smokey Mountains, TN - 6/16/2017
Clingman's Dome is a popular tourist attraction in The Great Smokey Mountains. It's not technically a hike, but it's definitely great workout to get to it from the parking lot. Round trip from the parking lot to the top of the Dome and back is approx 1.3 miles. However, the entire way up is extremely steep, and will take you some time to get up to. If you are not used to steep inclines for over 0.5 miles then please use the benches along the way to make stops at.
It was a little difficult for us because Jeff was carrying Jolene (about 30-40 lbs if you combine Jolene's weight and all the other gear we packed). I was carrying a 10 lb pack of water and food for the 2 hikes of the day.
Upon getting to the top of the road and arriving at the Dome you will see the cross street for the Appalachian Trail. We actually saw a few hikers that were on the trail for 4 weeks so far, and one father and son duo that were doing a 7 day/ 95-mile hike. The hikers that were on the trail for 4 weeks so far were a true inspiration. They were both 70-year-old women, who were just hiking at their own pace. They had no time frame to complete it (they were hiking about half of the trail). Such an inspiration. I can only hope that I will be in that great of shape at 70 years old to hike the Appalachian trial.
The other hikers we ran into were a father and son duo. The son was probably about 10-13 years old. The dad told us they were doing a 7-day hike on the Appalachian trial. Their excursion was actually almost done, they're stopping point was the Newfound Gap Parking area. So, they were going to be done that day. But he told us they had hiked almost 95 miles. I was so happy to see a father and his son spending this one on one time together out in the wilderness.
The stories that we've heard from so many hikers about their journey and all their past hikes has been my favorite part of this whole experience. I am just in awe of all of it.
But, back to the Dome! To get to the stop it's a spiral walkway, not too steep, and not as long as I originally thought. Make sure to get there early in the morning, we got there at about 9 am. This early you can see the clouds inside the valleys and all the mountains as far as the eye can see. Later in the day, the clouds lift and the views can get obstructed.
We took lots of pictures and videos before heading back down the spiral path and then starting our journey for about 0.25 mile on the Appalachian Trail. The route back to the car (instead of just going back down the paved road) we chose to take the trails. It was amazing, you were literally walking on the peaks of the mountains on the Appalachian trial. It makes me really want to train and work hard to be able to hike the trail and complete it one day.
About a quarter mile in you take a sharp turn to the left and head down another path that will lead you back towards the parking lot. On this path, there were lots of rocks and it was basically a stream instead of a path. They are working on making this trail better so it won't be so wet as you walk thru it. But it's not too bad, just a lite and thin stream along the way. They do maintain it because it had fresh cut grass along the edges.
Once you made it about 0.75 miles down this path there's another fork in trail. There's a sign that will tell you of the may different trails and miles to them, but you will take a left back up to the parking lot. When we got back to the truck we took a mini break. Ate a snack, fed the baby, and got ready to go onto our second hike for the day to Andrew's Bald (in the next blog entry).
But, before that please enjoy the photos from this hike below:

Irene "Granny" or "Nanny" as she was affectionately known by her children and grandchildren was a wonderful lady and the best grandmother anyone could ask for. She loved her family dearly and we meant the world to her. She loved going for rides, going out to eat, working puzzle books and talking on the phone. She enjoyed being around her family any chance she got and her room was literally filled with pictures of all her kids. She always put us first no matter what and never went a day without seeing or talking to us. Granny was a Jehovah's Witness and she loved to read her bible and literature printed by the Witnesses. She began each and every day by reading her daily text. Irene was a joy to be around. She was witty, funny, had a great sense of humor, was always ready with a quick comeback and never met a stranger. No matter what errand you had to run or where you had to go, she was always happy to go along and be your sidekick.
Irene was a loving wife and homemaker to James W. Cogbill for 56 years before his passing on September 5, 2002. They married on April 16, 1946 in Haileyville, Okla. and move to Pine Bluff in 1968. He was the love of her life and even 15 years after his passing, she still loved to talk about himn and tell everyone how many years they were together (which would have been 71 years). She always said she was still married, he was just gone.
Before her health declined, she enjoyed cooking for her family and doing yardwork.
She is survived by her two daughters, Patsy Newby and Jorja Walker (Donald); her three granddaughters, Janna Young (Kevin), Ashley Prather (Todd), and Courtney Eastman (Kennith); great grandchildren, Lindsey Cyr, Lauren Cyr, Adrian Brown Jr. (A.J.), Leigha Prather, Ameila Brown, Sara Wright, Joshua Prather, Anthony Torres and Isabella Eastman. She also leaves behind her faithful companion, her dog Sancho.
Granny will be dearly missed and will leave a loss in our hearts and our family that will never be filled. We were so blessed to have her as our Mother and Granny, she was truly one of a kind and we will forever cherish our memories and the time we spent with her.
Services were private per her request and will be provided by Ralph Robinson and Son.

So, you're off to university for the first time. You have no idea what you'll need once you're there so packing is proving kind of difficult. If you are like most students, the only things you've probably had to pack for was Glasto last year or that dodgy trip to Newquay post GCSE results. Unless you want to give someone else the ultimate power of letting them pack for you (this is obviously tempting), get a pen and some paper and start taking notes.
The most important thing is that you aren't immigrating to Mars. Your home and your possessions will only be a train/bus/car ride away (unless you have moved to the UK from another country to come to university). If you forget anything it's not a disaster.
Sidestep the drama by making a short list that covers everything you'll need before you get to uni. Call it the 'uni essentials checklist' or 'what to bring to university list'. Be prepared and avoid feeling stupid when you unpack on the first night and realise you forgot your electric toothbrush.
These documents are probably some of the most important things you'll need to bring to university. Keep everything in one folder to keep them safe and in one place.
These items are mostly optional but most people have mobile phones and laptops now-a-days. You'll actually be surprised at how many devices you own. The worst thing to do is bring them but forget the power supplies.
Although we now live in a seemingly paperless society, the art of taking notes in lectures can be mastered with a pen and a pad of paper. Getting stationery can be quite therapeutic. You might never use the items below but it's best to be prepared.
Bringing kitchen utensils to university is a great idea but can be quite tricky. Often, everyone in the house brings the same things. Too many pasta strainers, pans and chopping boards will just make your kitchen doubly harder to keep clean. If there are too many plates, bowls, glasses or mugs they will disappear into people's rooms never to see the light of day again. Every supermarket will sell the basics that appear on this list so don't worry too much if you forget anything.
It could even be an idea to wait until you get to your halls and see what everyone already has.
Think about it like you are moving your entire bedroom to another house. This list also includes some handy 'first time away from home' items that you probably won't have considered.
A great tip for helping you settle into your new home is bringing some home comforts with you. Your favourite duvet set, cushion or rug will help your halls feel like home in no time.
All of the below items are nice to have's but don't break the bank if you don't own them already. Practical items like an umbrella just make sense though!
There you have it. Tweet us a photo of your new student digs bedroom when you've unpacked! And make sure you let us know of any essentials you think we've missed out!

Stellar Resources working towards fast tin mining start
A company which suggests its West Coast tin interests could become the next Renison is refocusing for a potential fast start to mining.
Stellar Resources Limited told investors on Thursday it was refocusing this year on "progressing a Heemskirk fast start development strategy, advancing the project towards production".
As well as the Heemskirk fast start strategy, Stellar said the Mt Razorback and St Dizier satellite deposits offered early production options.
It said the work plan for its tin assets near Zeehan included:
- A scoping study on the St Dizer deposit, which had been completed;
- sampling of Razorback tailings, which had been done, with metallurgical testing under way and resource evaluation to follow;
- a Heemskirk resource update, which was under way, with a Heemskirk fast start scoping study, including St Dizier, to follow; and
- a drilling program to define a probable reserve for a Heemskirk fast start project.
Stellar said its "flagship" Heemskirk project was the highest grade undeveloped tin project in Australia and the third highest in the world.
The veteran Renison tin mine on the West Coast is Australia's biggest operating tin mine.
It is 18 kilometres north-east of Heemskirk,
"Heemskirk and Renison share the same ore genesis and geology," Stellar said.
Stellar said the experience of Renison showed "significant opportunity for underground drilling to expand resources".
"Zeehan is a mining community that is very keen to see a new mine developed ...," Stellar told investors.
The Razorback tin mine operated between 1975 and 1978.

Sports News of Sunday, 27 May 2018
Source: GHANAsoccernet.com
Asante Kotoko attacker Fred Frimpong says they are poised to keep up with their recent fine form following their two-match winning run.
The Porcupine Warriors have found their form again in the ongoing Zylofon Cash Premier League after recording back-to-back wins against Bechem United and Elmina Sharks to move up to 6th on the standings.
According to Frimpong, they are eager to keep the momentum in their subsequent games to realise their league title aspirations.
"Before our match against Bechem United, we realised that we were not only losing grounds so far as our title aspiration was concerned, but our numerous fans were also getting impatient with our inconsistent performance in the league.
"The playing body thus resolved to win the remaining matches particularly in the first round, and so far it has been good, despite it not coming easy," Frimpong explained.
"Our match against Sharks was very difficult, but at the end, we managed to restore the smiles to the faces of our fans . The excitement they exhibited clearly speak volumes and we also felt the pressure lifted off our backs, so there is no turning back," he added.
"We know it is not easy, but we are tackling each match we play with all seriousness, hence the need for the fans to keep faith in us with their support, especially during tough matches."
Kotoko will play as guests to Liberty Professionals on Match Day 14 and then host Aduana Stars in Kumasi on Match Day 15.

2017 New Years Resolutions
It's that time of year where it's out with the old and in with the new. As a new year looms fresh with new possibilities, we are filled with good intentions and resolve to do things during the next 12 months that will make our lives better. This year, we say, we're going to stick to our resolutions!
Here are some fun facts about New Years Resolutions. The most popular may sound familiar, as they may be goals you've set (and broken) numerous times before.
Top 10 New Years Resolutions of 2016:
- Lose weight
- Get organized
- Spend less, save more
- Enjoy life to the fullest
- Stay fit and healthy
- Learn something exciting
- Quit smoking

What will 2017's resolutions look like? Probably about the same…(this list is completely unchanged from 2014's most popular resolutions). Of those who usually make New Years Resolutions—45% of all Americans—only about 8% of us end up keeping them. Almost half of us report having "infrequent success" at sticking with our resolutions, and 24% of us never succeed, yet keep trying over and over, every year, to reach our resolution goals.
This year, don't sign that gym contract you know you won't be using come mid-February. Instead, make a resolution that's easy to keep and even more rewarding. Resolve to keep your home bug and pest free. You don't even have to do anything—simply pick up the phone and call Pointe Pest Control. Our professional, highly-trained service experts will assess your home and surroundings, identify any problem areas, and use the safest, most effective treatments possible.

The Lockheed Aircraft company was formed in 1926 and merged with Martin Marietta in 1995 to form Lockheed Martin.
Two brothers Allan and Malcolm Loughead formed the Loughead Aircraft Manufacturing Company in 1912 but folded in 1920 due to the glut of second hand aircraft on the market after WW1.
Allan Loughead, John Northrop, Kenneth Kay and Fred Keeler formed Lockheed Aircraft Company in 1926, the name spelt to prevent mispronunciation. The firs model was the Vega and by 1928 had produced 80 aircraft but the great depression ruined the aircraft market and the company was bought by a group of investors. Allan Loughead had resigned in 1929 after disagreements with the goals of the company.
In the 1930s the company produced the Model 10 Electra, 12 Electra and 14 Super Electra with the Model 14 being used as the basis of the Hudson bomber an early mainstay of the British Royal Air Force.
During WWII the company under the guidance of Clarence (Kelly) Johnson designed and built the twin engined heavy twin engined long range fighter, the P-38 Lightning, this was the only US aircraft to be produced throughout the US involvement in WWII.
Another aircraft developed during WWII was the L-049 Constellation which became a mainstay of many airlines post the war.
The company also has the "Skunk Works" which develop secret aircraft for the US military, these include the U2, SR-71 and F-117 stealth fighter. The name of the works came about because of the location of the design office was originally next to a factory that produced fumes that smelled like a Skunk.
Major military aircraft built by Lockheed have included the F104 Starfighter, C-130 Hercules, C-141 Starlifter and C-5 Galaxy.
Civil aircraft have included the L-188 Electra and L-1011 TriStar. Lockheed did not produce any further civil aircraft after the TriStar.
