Some people have the luck or curse to do what they're supremely good at; and the exercise of that skill gives pleasure, even if the job carries the imminent risk of death. The talent that another man might have for making bombs, James has for finding and silencing them. It's not just his job, it's his vocation. Whether he's stripping a car piece by piece or cutting open a boy's stomach to pull out an IED, James has the instincts, let's say the genius, to do it. "Mission accomplished" is not a Presidential PR phrase, it's a definition of this man at work. It'd be a crime not to apply his expertise to saving lives. James is also in it for the fun. We learn that he has a wife and a baby back home, but Baghdad is where he feels most alive performing a task that could end his life. If defusing bombs isn't a drug for James, it's a stimulant, pure caffeine, his headiest, most essential adrenaline.
A genius makes his own rules; a soldier isn't supposed to. Before examining the suspect car, James doffs his space suit; at this close range it won't offer much protection. ("If I'm gonna die, I'm gonna be comfortable.") More recklessly, he tosses his headset on the ground, so he doesn't have to hear Sanborn's pleas to get the hell out of there. Groups of men have gathered at storefronts, on the balconies and roofs of apartment houses, and James' lone-gunman bravado could jeopardize the mission. But a genius has to stay focused. There's got to be a bomb in here somewhere; ah, under the hood. Though his mates aren't crazy about his methods Sanborn sucker-punches James in the jaw after this little escapade they'll come to appreciate him. "Not very good with people, are you," Eldridge tells James, "but you're a good warrior."
The heart of the film is a half dozen sequences, most of them on bomb-squad detail, one long, terrific one showing the unit holed up with some Brit mercenaries (led by Ralph Fiennes, the star of Bigelow's 1995 futuristic movie Strange Days) fighting off fire from al-Qaeda-in-Iraq types out in the desert. Boal and Bigelow know that there's enough tension in the act of walking up to a bomb and trying to defuse it; they don't have to amp up the suspense with theatrics.
The appearances by some familiar faces Fiennes, Guy Pearce, David Morse are all too brief. But the three leads don't make you long for star power. They're fine: Mackie as the veteran who plays by the book, Geraghty as the subordinate with jumpy nerves, and especially Renner. He's had supporting roles in North Country, 28 Weeks Later and The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, but this is his big chance, and he seizes it. He's ordinary, pudgy-faced, quiet, and at first seems to lack the screen charisma to carry a film. That supposition vanishes in a few minutes, as Renner slowly reveals the strength, confidence and unpredictability of a young Russell Crowe. The merging of actor and character is one of the big things to love about this movie. The other is that its tone, of steely calm, takes its cue from the character it so acutely observes. It's as if James was not only the subject of the movie he made it.
Later I may think of a better depiction of the helplessness and heroism attending the U.S. presence in the war on terrorism, but for now I'll say this one's the tops. (See photos of the Venice Film Festival here.

Manuel Pellegrini's 4-2-2-2 Pt.3
It all started with a tweet…
Sitting at the London Stadium yesterday watching Manuel Pellegrini's West Ham side face Athletico Bilbao in the Betway Cup I found myself watching a side that was morphing from a 4-2-2-2 to a 4-2-3-1 and back again, and it melted my heart. I said to the wife 'this was Pellegrini at his peak with Villarreal', she didn't have a clue.
The game itself started with a freak own goal from record signing, Sébastien Haller, followed by a really well worked goal that saw Iñaki Williams finish from a low cross from West Ham's left. West Ham then shook the cobwebs off and started to control the game and we started to see the tactical influence start to take shape. Declan Rice was the obvious anchor man in the midfield, he would break up play and then lay the ball off to Jack Wilshere, who I will say looked sharp, fit and ready to battle. Felipe Anderson and Manu Lanzini occupied the 'wide' areas of midfield but were swapping positions regularly dragging defenders with them leaving space for Ryan Fredricks and Aaron Cresswell to drive forward from their fullback positions. Pablo Fornals took up a position just off of Haller, dropping into the pockets of space and giving a passing option to Anderson and Lanzini. As the game progressed we saw Fornals drop a bit deeper with Lanzini and Anderson starting to take on the fullbacks as the system changed to 4-2-3-1.
In normal FNFM style, I get to thinking about how I can transfer this in to Football Manager. Part 1 & Part 2 of Pellegrini's 4-2-2-2 are very much Villarreal based, even though I found my posts linked on a West Ham fans forum when fans were looking at how Pellegrini might set up, this will be purely West Ham with the players The Engineer has at his disposal.
First up are the two base tactics:
In FM18 I had lots of success with the wide players playing as inverted wingers on an attack duty but when replicating this tactic earlier in the year the IW-A was not doing what I wanted and after a conversation with @Shrewnaldo who had been replicating the 4-2-2-2 in his Southampton save, he told me that playing the wide players as Advance Playmakers gave him the movement he desired that would leave space for the fullbacks to drive in to.
This system is supposed to keep Anderson and Lanzini with chalk on their boots creating space centrally for Wilshere and Fornals to work their magic. I've kept Rice as a defensive midfielder to provide Balbuena and Diop with a first line of defence.
In the 4-2-2-2 system I have set Lanzini and Anderson to switch positions in the hope that they will drag the opposition defenders with them opening up gaps for other players to take advantage of. In the 4-2-3-1 I have set Lanzini, Fornals and Anderson to swap with each other much like they did yesterday – I haven't tinkered with this in FM19 so it will be interesting to watch how it's displayed in the match engine.
Something else I haven't used in FM19 is Match Plans and having watched the team yesterday change systems without the use of clicking an action I thought I would set something up that interchanges the two tactics at various points in the game. I'm pretty sure this will take some changing but for now I'm going with this:
Well, it turns out that me and Match Plans are not friends. The first game saw the game automatically substitute Jack Wilshere after 12 minutes and then in the second game not only did I get a divergence error my assistant(?) substituted nearly my whole team in the first half…
So for now we'll revert back to manual mode.
This is the attacking phase of the 4-2-2-2, both Lanzini and Anderson move in to narrow areas leaving acres of space for the marauding fullbacks to exploit. You can see how Rice and Wilshere created Pellegrini's 'square' providing plenty of cover if a turnover occurs. Haller is the focal point of the attack with Fornals playing just off him.
With the 4-2-3-1 you can see that the defensive square is replaced with a midfield triangle with Rice at the base, Wilshere in the mix and Fornals playing directly behind Haller. Wingers in FM19 don't tend to stay wide but both Anderson & Lanzini are driving forward rather than running inside which puts pressure on the opposition defenders.
I am going to test these tactics out on my other West Ham save and might see how they work with AC Milan, but if anyone would like this game file just send me a message on Twitter.
I'm looking forward to seeing if Pellegrini plays these systems during the season and with our starting eleven I believe he has the players to make it work. The struggle might come should injuries occur as yesterday when Antonio, Chicharito & Diangana came on they played in a more standard 4-3-3.
To coin a phrase, Pellegrini playing a 4-2-2-2? You love to see it.
Thanks for reading.

Love is in the Air: A Perfect Match
Tom Guerrieri, VP of Financial Reporting, and Eric Richardson, Director of Financial Reporting, agree that the user-friendly, cloud-based accessibility of Wdesk is the perfect match for the culture at Tanger Outlets.
But that's not all Guerrieri loves about Wdesk: "My favorite feature is probably the people that you work with. My Customer Success Manager, [and] the Professional Services Manager that we use for XBRL. They're great people. No matter when you call them, they call you back. So I think customer service is the best part of Wdesk." Al Green said it first—let's stay together! Customer service and accessibility—just two of the many reasons Tanger Outlets is smitten with Wdesk.

War has many victims, and the Iraq Museum has
joined the list. Looters broke into the building
and destroyed or carried off hundreds of thousands
of priceless objects. Many of these treasures had
survived centuries of war and changes in leadership.
"Our history was in that building," said Mazen Ahmad
,who sells eggs near the museum. "It was the soul of Iraq."
It wasn't just the building that suffered.
Thousands of antiques, manuscripts and rare
books were also stolen, as well as stone carvings
of ancient royalty, jewelry pottery and some of
history's earliest writings. Some objects date back
10,000 years.

In this Q&A, David Filmer, head of the mergers and acquisitions team at Harrison Drury, explores the burgeoning alternative finance sector and whether it can be a viable form of finance for your business.
How would you best describe alternative finance and is it becoming more common?
Alternative financing, or AltFi as some are now abbreviating it, is definitely growing in popularity and can be an effective method of funding growth. Alternative finance is a bit an umbrella term as it incorporates different types of lending that are separate from mainstream finance, such as high street banks.
It includes forms of finance such as online crowdfunding, where businesses get finance from many smaller investors, and peer-to-peer lending where those businesses and start-ups seeking funding are matched with investor businesses and wealthy individuals, such as 'business angels'.
Why is it still seen as 'alternative'?
While it has become far more common in the years since the financial crisis in the late noughties, many businesses still lack awareness and understanding of alternative finance, seeing it, wrongly, as a riskier source of investment or a lender of last resort.A 2016 survey by specialist finance provider Together found that the majority of businesses still instinctively go to their bank as a first port of call, with many ceasing their search for funding if they are rejected by those traditional lenders.That said, the UK online alternative finance sector grew by 84% in 2015, facilitating £3.2bn in investments, loans and donations, according to the Cambridge Centre for Alternative Finance, so it is growing exponentially. Perhaps in the not too distant future it will cease to be 'alternative'.
What type of businesses and sectors is it most suited to?
In theory, alternative finance can benefit almost any business in any sector if it has the growth potential and meets the lending criteria. However, certain sectors have been shown to be more suited to (or more likely to be supported by) alternative finance, perhaps because of a lack of availability of traditional finance.
For example, peer-to-peer lending in the property sector grew to £609m in 2015 and accounted for 41% of the total volume in P2P business loans, according to the same Cambridge study mentioned above. Technology and manufacturing were the two other sectors that received the strongest backing from the alternative finance industry.
How effective is alternative finance, especially crowdfunding and peer-to-peer lenders?
Equity-based crowdfunding is becoming an increasingly viable funding method, especially for start-ups and new business projects. Sites such as Crowdcube and Kickstarter are popular with the SME market, especially if there are innovative aspects of a business that are likely to capture the imagination of the public.
In addition, peer-to-peer (P2P) lending matches private investors or businesses with borrower companies. On average, companies using P2P lending tend to be established, profitable companies. The main draw for borrowers is the speed at which they can access funds; P2P lending enables you to get the paperwork through and access cash very quickly.
How do you assess regional funding organisations?
Regional funding organisations are another option for businesses seeking funding, and one advantage to these types of funds is that they often provide support to local sector specialist advisors who can help businesses with their growth.
However, these funding organisations can carry with them certain limitations. For one, the process of accessing such funding can be a relatively drawn-out process, with applicants needing to demonstrate a clear vision for growth or innovation articulated in their business plan, and certain funds can have very specific entry criteria. Where matched funding is required, this can also be prohibitive for some smaller businesses.
Do you expect demand for alternative funding sources to increase in light of the uncertainty around Brexit?
A number of leading industry experts have predicted that alternative funding options will continue to grow in light of uncertainty following the result of the EU referendum. In times of financial uncertainty, banks tend to decrease their lending to small businesses.
The opposite is the case with alternative finance lenders. Such lenders can identify gaps and move fast to provide short-term secured finance. However, until we start to see the outcome of triggering article 50, for now I would not expect much change in the short term to the current position.

By Jordeene B. Lagare – February 12, 2019
from The Manila Times
AC Energy Inc., the energy platform of Ayala Corp., has signed an investment agreement with Phinma Corp. on buying the latter's 26.25-percent stake in subsidiary Phinma Energy Corp.
In separate disclosures on Monday, Ayala Corp. and Phinma Corp. said the deal signed on February 8 covered 1,283,422,198 shares worth P1.7 billion.
This comes exactly a month after both listed firms inked heads of agreement on the transaction, which also involves AC Energy purchasing Phinma parent Philippine Investment Management (Phinma) Inc.'s 24.23-percent interest in Phinma Energy for a combined 51.48-percent stake.
The Ayala-led unit will acquire the total stake via a secondary share sale for approximately P3.42 billion, and also subscribe to 2.632 billion Phinma Energy shares for P1 apiece.
The deal is yet to secure the approval of the Philippine Competition Commission, Securities and Exchange Commission, and the Philippine Stock Exchange; as well as comply with applicable mandatory offer requirements.
The transaction, AC Energy said in its disclosure, is an "important step" for it to meet its goal of generating 5 gigawatts of renewably energy (RE) by 2025.
It noted that Phinma Energy had "significant operating and developmental renewable energy assets, and its large diesel capacity will complement the scaling-up of" its RE projects.
Phinma Corp. said the deal offered "a timely opportunity for the Phinma Group to harness value from a business [that] it established 50 years ago, and which Phinma believes it has grown to the extent it can."
It "believes that it can make meaningful expansions in other sectors, such as education and construction materials, and has elected to sell its shares to AC Energy, which is fully committed to this sector," it added.
The February 8 agreement is the latest signed by the two energy subsidiaries, the first of which was the 2011 deal to build and operate a 244-megawatt coal power plant under the South Luzon Thermal Energy Corp. in Calaca town, Batangas province.
AC Energy has more than $1 billion of invested and committed equity in renewable and thermal energy in the country and the region.
Phinma Energy is into generating and supplying electricity; renewable energy; and resource exploration and development. It has an attributable generation capacity of 472 MW.
Ayala Corp. shares added P2 or 0.22 percent to close at P929 each, while Phinma Energy shares remained flat at P1.32 apiece on Monday.

DreamWorks Animation's 3D flick, based on the popular Troll dolls, will find Timberlake overseeing the creative direction of the movie's tunes and lending his voice to several cuts on the soundtrack (due Sept. 23 on RCA Records). Timberlake and Anna Kendrick will also cover "True Colors" for a scene in the film.
"I have always envisioned bringing the two worlds of film and music together for one epic event [and] couldn't be more excited that they will collide in DreamWorks' Trolls," said Timberlake at the time of the announcement. "This film is very special, the music is going to be very special and I can't wait for everyone to experience it all."

Nathan Fillion Reacts to Stana Katic's Abrupt 'Castle' Exit Amid Tension Rumors April 24
Nathan Fillion has broken his silence following the news that hisCastle costar Stana Katic is leaving the ABC series after eight seasons. PHOTOS: Fictional TV Hometowns
"Castle has been one of the greatest joys of my creative life, and I hope the show continues on for years to come," Fillion, 45, said via Twitter on Tuesday, April 19. "Stana has been my partner all this time, and I thank her for creating the character of Beckett who will live on for all of us as one of the greatest police officers on television."
"I wish her well, and have no doubt she will succeed in everything she pursues," the Firefly alum continued. "She will be missed."
PHOTOS: Celebrity Feuds: The Biggest Ever!
The network confirmed on Monday that Katic, 37, has decided to leave the show over budgetary reasons. However, a source told Us Weekly that there has been fierce tension on set between the two leads.

"Stana Katic and Nathan Fillion completely despise each other. They will not speak when they are off set, and this has been going on for seasons now," the insider told Us. "This season, it got so out of hand they made Stana and Nathan go to couples counseling together."

Fillion's team didn't respond to a request for comment, and Katic's rep told Usthat the star "had absolutely no issues" with Fillion.
Katic and Fillion have starred on the series together since 2009, and there's a possibility that Fillion may still stay on for season 9, although the popular crime procedural has not yet been renewed. Katic, meanwhile, has so far kept mum about her departure from the series.

Jessica Sanchez types away on her phone after attending a gifting suite on Thursday afternoon (January 14) in Beverly Hills, Calif.
The 20-year-old singer swung by the Indulge House private gifting suite and picked up a few beauty products from the Live Ultimate skincare brand.
Speaking with Popdust recently, Jessica dished that she might have a new record deal soon!
"We're talking to a couple major labels. This year, I might jump on some tours. I'm very, very excited," she revealed.
Jessica added, "I'm also working with a couple producers for new music. I'm just ready for the new year. When you go into a major label, a lot is happening, and you don't want to be this little dot in this big industry. You want attention, in a way. I definitely want to make some noise for myself. That's why we did the EP independently. But having the backing of a major label would be amazing."

'Family Guy' Features K-Dramas, SISTAR And HyunA In Recent Episode
Family Guy" was all about the Korean Wave during the first episode of 2016.
Sunday's episode of "Family Guy," titled "Candy, Quahog, Marshmallow," brought the characters of the animated sitcom to South Korea. The title of the episode came from a cover version of HyunA's "Bubble Pop."
The episode satirized Korean television shows and K-pop, as well as South Korean cultural norms.
During "Candy, Quahog, Marshmallow," Peter, Quagmire, Joe, and Clevelend binge watched a Korean drama and decided to travel to South Korea after they were unable to find a VHS tape of the final episode. After getting to Korea, the quintet discovered K-pop, ate Korean food, drank soju, and much more.
SISTAR's "Touch My Body" played on screen multiple times throughout the episode, featuring the members of the K-pop girl group.
At the end of the episode, three of the "Family Guy" characters performed a satirical cover of HyunA's "Bubble Pop."
The episode also referenced Kara, Crayon Pop, and Psy through a variety of dance moves.
Along with exploring Korean pop culture, the episode also mocked the popularity of plastic surgery in South Korea.
While the episode aired and afterwards, fans of K-pop and K-dramas took to Twitter criticizing the episode's mockery of fans of Korean pop culture.

AB - Objectives: The present study was carried out to investigate the in vivo antimycobacterial activity of methanol extract of Alstonia scholaris and Mucuna imbricata in murine model.
Materials and Methods: Female BALB/c mice were infected with the Mycobacterium tuberculosis H 37 Rv suspension. Extracts were administered orally for 2 weeks from 7 th day postinfection at a dose of 200 mg/kg and rifampicin at 20 mg/kg as standard. The synergistic groups were 10 and 100 mg/kg for rifampicin and extract, respectively.
Results: The final body weight of mycobacteria-infected group was significantly reduced (15.41 ± 0.42, P < 0.01), but following treatment with the plant extract plus rifampicin could elevate the body weight. Colony forming unit (CFU) count of lung (8.71 ± 0.01) and spleen (8.59 ± 0.01) was significantly higher in infected and untreated group (P < 0.01). It was observed that activity of the synergistic group displayed powerful and maximum response against tuberculosis (TB) infection with lower CFU counts. Histopathology study showed cells such as lymphocytes, epithelioid, Langhans giant cell, and fibrous tissue proliferation in lungs; depletion of lymphocytes in the spleen.
Conclusions: The data indicate that methanol extract of A. scholaris has potential antimycobacterial activity, and the synergistic group consisting of rifampicin and A. scholaris could be a rational choice for the treatment of TB.

In 2015, homicide rates in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) were four times higher than the world average, making it the most violent region in the world. Mexico in particular ranks amongst the most violent countries in the region, as the levels of violence in the country peaked in 2017, registering more than 29,000 homicides.
At the same time, income inequality has risen, and remains one of the country's biggest societal challenges. The recent earthquake that hit the capital showed in particular the differential impact of shocks on different income groups.
Against this backdrop and building on the unique breadth and depth of expertise of our work in the region, DPA is working to gain better insights into the complex relationship between crime and inequality in Mexico, with a view to improve relevant policy decisions and contribute to a safer and fairer Mexican society.
Our partnership with Oxfam Mexico
DataMex is a collaborative project between Data-Pop Alliance and Oxfam Mexico, officially launched in September 2018, with the objective of influencing the data ecosystem within the framework of the SDGs and 2030 Agenda. The project seeks to develop and enhance data use (big data, small data, open data, official data) to better inform and evaluate public policy in Mexico, with a focus on socioeconomic and gender inequalities, and (in)security.
For more information, please contact: firstname.lastname@example.com
Understanding the impact of crime shocks on individuals' behaviors
Statistics on the direct human and material costs of crime phenomena exist (e.g.: death tolls of crime waves). However, the disruption and recovery dynamics of daily routines of local communities — such as disruption of mobility patterns and economic activity — has yet to be systematically analyzed.
With initial funding from the French Development Agency, DPA started a research line focused on the quantification, at a fine-grain and large scale, of the disruption and recovery dynamics induced by crime across population subgroups. As a result of the first research phase, DPA released the paper "Impact of Crime Shocks Across Gender and Socioeconomic Groups: A Large-Scale Mapping of Behavioral Disruption", available below. The paper was selected to be showcased at the 2018 Data For Good Exchange, organized by Bloomberg in NYC.
DPA is currently expanding this research, with funding from the MIT Sloan Latin America Office and in collaboration with one of the largest Mexican banks. The study places the emphasis on the differentiated effects of crime shocks on population subgroups, as defined by gender, socioeconomic status, and their combination. Research activities are ongoing and results are expected to be published by end of 2019.
For more information, please contact: firstname.lastname@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com
Capacity Building
In October, 2017, Data-Pop Alliance conducted a training in conjunction with the UN Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) in Mexico City. Over three days the more than 40 participants learned to develop and implement Big Data innovation projects, policies, and partnerships in support of sustainable development objectives.

For an item that weighs less than a pound, you can upload all the travel guides, novels, and self-help books you can stand. And, you can even add newspaper and magazine subscriptions so you won't miss a bit of celebrity gossip or news while away. The latest e-book readers have built-in Wi-Fi and 3G capabilities, so you could be drinking a Castle beer at a café in South Africa, upload the most up-to-date safari guide for Kruger National Park, and go on your way within minutes.
The environmental benefits of e-book readers include:
- Carbon emissions from e-books are offset within the first year of use
- Decreasing the overall need for the paper, water, ink and chemical dyes necessary to produce books and magazines as some authors are opting to publish only e-book versions of their latest publications
- Storage, transport, and disposal of e-books are much more environmentally-friendly than book recycling
- Less need for room lighting since some e-book readers come with their own LED backlight that read quite well in dark rooms

Women in Saudi Arabia begin their first-ever election campaign on Sunday, a tentative step toward better representation in the Kingdom's decision-making process.
Around 900 female candidates are standing in next month's municipal election, a poll that also offers a chance to female voters to elect their officials for the first time.
"If we want to develop or reform our country we should put a woman in every decision-making level," says Nassima Al-Sadah, a candidate in Qatif for the Dec. 12 vote.
This will be the first time Saudi women have had a say in who gains office.
While Al-Sadah expressed satisfaction at the number of female candidates, she said "very few" women have registered to vote.
Data cited by the Saudi electoral commission show about 7,000 candidates are vying for seats on the 284 councils.
According to the intekhab.gov.sa elections website, just 130,600 women have signed up to vote, compared to around 10 times that number of male voters.
Aside from transport problems, women say their voter registration was hindered by bureaucratic obstacles and a lack of awareness of the process and its significance.
"I myself had a very difficult time to register", said Sahar Hassan Nasief, an activist in Jeddah who has many friends running as candidates.
She had to go "back and forth and back and forth until I got my name down" but nonetheless encouraged others to make the effort.
"This is one of the first steps for women's rights, a big step for us," said the retired university teacher. "Even my mum who's 95… she too went to register."
There is also disappointment at the performance of the local councils and their limited powers restricted to streets, gardens and garbage.
"I took part in the last round and didn't see any benefit or results," said Sultan Al-Obthani, 35, of Riyadh, who will not vote this time.
Although the voting age has been lowered to 18 from 21 and the proportion of elected council members has increased to two-thirds, winning a seat remains a challenge for women in electorates where male voters vastly outnumber females.
"I cannot predict my chances of winning but I am doing my best," says Safinaz Abu-Alshamat, 33, who plans to campaign through social media in her Makkah district.
In Al-Sadah's Qatif electorate there are only 2,000 registered female votes, meaning she will have to woo the 48,000 men in order to stand a chance.
"It's very, very difficult for us to win and to target our voters," she says.
Khalid Al-Dakhil, an independent political analyst, said he would "of course" consider voting for a woman in the ballot which "should be the first step along the road to democracy."
Elections for the Shoura (Consultative) Council would be the next logical step, he said.
Despite the obstacles, Al-Sadah is confident there will be at least one woman elected next month.
She says her record of community service and activism has built enough trust among men and women to propel her to victory.
"They believe in me," she said.SHOW MORE

Automatic Diagnostic Collection..and Domino 7
Tags :Domino 7
Now I know my good buddy Susan started to talk about this, and only hinted at what was coming. But now that we moved everything internally to Domino 7, it made much more sense to consolidate all the collection from both managed and hosted server to a central repository that could start to analyze for us. Domino 6 did a fine job of collecting the data, and I enjoyed the single place to look for faults. But the ability to analyze them just makes us all smile more.
Now the catch was that I wanted to use the wildcard document to configure everything, but I do not want the Fault Analyzer task running on all the servers. So I did have to create a new config doc just for that server, which isn't what I wanted but works.
Size restrictions of the Faults are not a problem across any of the customers, so we are going with Notes to Notes traffic. No size issues to speak of through router restrictions either. I will put a snapshot of the config (maybe Visio) shortly

76ers fan says he was kicked out of game after showing support to Hong Kong
A Philadelphia 76ers fan says he and his wife were ejected from a game Tuesday night after showing support for pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong. The incident comes amid rising tensions between the NBA and China after Houston Rockets general manager Daryl Morey published a tweet supporting the protesters.
The 76ers said in a statement Wednesday that the fans were removed from the game against the Guangzhou Loong Lions because of "their continuing disruption of the fan experience."
"At last evening's game, following multiple complaints from guests and verbal confrontations with others in attendance, two individuals were warned by Wells Fargo Center staff about their continuing disruption of the fan experience," the statement said. "Ultimately, the decision was made by Wells Fargo Center personnel to remove the guests from the premises, which was accomplished without incident."
Sam Wachs, 33, told CBS Philadelphia that he and his wife brought in several pro-Hong Kong signs and yelled "Free Hong Kong." Wachs was sitting behind the Guangzhou bench when he and his wife held up two signs that read "Free Hong Kong" and "Free HK."
The Philadelphia resident, who lived in Hong Kong for two years, was also wearing a "Free Hong Kong" T-shirt.
Wachs told the Philadelphia Inquirer he felt he needed to "do something" after the controversy unfolded following Morey's tweet. "I don't think the NBA should be bending over backwards to please China," he said.
The NBA is scrambling in its response after a number of Chinese businesses severed ties with the league, which draws a significant audience from China.
However, NBA commissioner Adam Silver came to Morey's defense on Tuesday, defending his right to free speech. "I think as a values-based organization that I want to make it clear that Daryl Morey is supported in terms of his ability to exercise his freedom of expression."

As expected, the guidance note does not attempt to provide comprehensive answers to all questions on the legislation. In particular, it does not provide any further clarity on the meaning of the term "adequate", which is used in some of the key requirements in the substance legislation, nor does it clarify the process that will be used by local tax officials to determine whether a company meets the substance requirements. However, it provides welcome clarification in a number of areas, including the following:
Pure Equity Holding Companies: If a company meets the criteria to be regarded as a pure equity holding company (and therefore subject to less onerous requirements), the guidance note clarifies that passively holding investments and receiving income or gains from them will not be regarded as a "commercial activity". To fall outside the definition of a pure equity holding company, the company would have to carry out real activities, which must be commercial in nature (i.e. directly linked to the sale/exchange of goods or assets or services in pursuit of profit).
Financing and Leasing: The guidance note confirms that intra-group financing is within scope. It also clarifies that the consideration received by the lender must be monetary in nature (i.e. a lending fee or interest) for the lender to fall within this relevant sector (in that sense, the term "consideration" will not be given the meaning that contract lawyers will be familiar with). The guidance note also makes clear that providing trade credit on terms that do not require the debtor to pay interest will not fall within this relevant sector. Lastly, the guidance note helpfully explains that this relevant sector does not extend to the purchase of government bonds or traded debt securities as an investment.
Core Income Generating Activities: Perhaps the most important statement in the guidance note is that a relevant company must perform the core income generating activities that generate its income in any relevant sector in the relevant Crown Dependency. A similar change was recently made to the substance legislation in Jersey. It remains to be seen how this will be interpreted for, by way of example, a bank incorporated in one Crown Dependency that has a branch in another Crown Dependency. The guidance note also provides examples of what the core income generating activities might include for certain relevant sectors.
Direction and Management: The guidance note provides a little more colour on the requirement for relevant companies to be directed and managed in the relevant Crown Dependency.
Employees: The guidance note clarifies that, for the purpose of the substance requirements, the term "employee" is not limited to individuals that are legally employed by the company itself.
Reporting of Information: The guidance note summarises the information that relevant companies will be required to provide in their tax returns regarding the substance requirements.
The guidance note acknowledges that it is a work in progress. In particular, information on IP holding companies, and the reduced substance requirements for pure equity holding companies, will follow in subsequent guidance.
The question of whether a given company derives income from one or more relevant sectors requires a detailed case-by-case legal analysis of the precise factual matrix within which the company operates. Appleby can help you to determine if any of the companies within your group are subject to the substance requirements and, if so, what that means for you. As the only law firm with offices in all three Crown Dependencies, Appleby is uniquely positioned to advise on the differences between the substance legislation in Guernsey, Jersey and the Isle of Man.
If you have any questions, please speak to Alison MacKrill in our Guernsey office, Andrew Weaver in our Jersey office or Garry Manley in our Isle of Man office.

Salmon Cakes
I'm not sure if you new that I had another blog a few years ago, called Healthy Wholesome Me. I posted recipes and gave little nutritional tidbits very much like what I do here. One of the things I'm doing is going back through the archives, updating photos and making improvements to the older recipes. So, today these salmon cakes are kicking off "operation I can't believe I posted that horrible photo," hahahaha! I didn't change much from the original recipe, they're still really easy, tasty and a perfect protein option for breakfast or lunch. Canned salmon is one of the staples that I believe should be in every bariatric pantry, unless of course you have a distaste for it, otherwise it's readily available, affordable and is an excellent real food source of protein that your body will recognize and benefit from, so let's take a look at some of those nutrients.
- Omega 3 fatty acids: These are considered "good fats" and 30% of our caloric intake should come in the form of fats in this category. Omega 3's have shown through research, to protect our heart, prevent stroke, improve lipid patterns, improve blood vessel function, improve other diseases like Chron's, and Rheumatoid Arthritis which are symptoms of immune and inflammatory disorders. Omega 3's have also shown to reduce the risk of mental disorders like depression and Alzheimer's disease.
- High Quality Protein: Protein is an essential component in nutrition. It plays a primary role in building and giving structure to muscle, hair, skin, nails, eyes and our internal organs as well as providing the body with energy, maintaining fluid and sodium balance and building important substances like hemoglobin, hormones and antibodies. In a 4 ounce serving of salmon you will get roughly 26 grams of protein.
- Essential Amino Acids: Essential amino acids are just that, essential to life and MUST be supplied by diet! There are 9 of them and they are Isoleucine, Leucine, Lysine, Methionine, Phenylalanine, Theronine, Tryptophan, Valine and Histidine. Your body can make these in very small amounts but not enough to sustain life and keep you healthy.
- Vitamins: Vitamins only make up 1% of our body composition but are essential for vitality, growth and health. Depletion of vitamins can lead to nutritional disorders and general health problems which everyone is susceptible to, but we as gastric bypass patients will have a life long battle to maintain our vitamin levels due to malabsorption found in bariatric surgery. A few of the vitamins that you can get from salmon contain 3 fat soluble vitamins, Vitamin A, D and E. These three need fats to help them become absorbed and utilized by the body. As you read earlier salmon has an abundance of the good, heart healthy fats for this! The other two vitamins that salmon offers is Vitamin B and B6 both needed to support a healthy hormone balance in women and a functioning nervous system for all. Micro and Macro Minerals: calcium, iron, zinc, magnesium and phosphorous. Each has an important role in bone, muscle, teeth, inflammation, endocrine and immune function.
I hope you will find this recipe a good way to get in all of the listed benefits that salmon can provide you with. I'd love to hear from you after you make your salmon cakes so don't forget to come back here and leave a comment. And if you happen to be on any of the social media platforms use the hashtag #thebariatricdish so I can see it! Have a safe and happy rest of the week!
In health,
salmon cakes
- Prep Time: 0 minutes
- Cook Time: 0 minutes
- Total Time: 0 hours
- Yield: 8 2.2 oz patties 1x
- 2 cans of wild cought salmon.
- 1 egg, whisked
- 2–3 finely chopped green onions
- 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh dill
- 2 tbsp capers (drained)
- 3 tbsp mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp almond flour
- 1 tsp seafood seasoning or Old Bay seasoning
- Salt and pepper
- Drain both cans of salmon and add to a large mixing bowl. Flake apart the salmon.
- Whisk the egg and then add it to the bowl.
- Wash and trim your green onions, slice into small pieces and add to the mixing bowl.
- Remove the fresh dill from the thicker, larger stem. You don't need to remove the dill from the thinner stems. Bunch up the dill tightly and chop it up. When done add it to the bowl of ingredients.
- Add in your measured mayo, almond flour, capers (no liquid) seasoning and salt and pepper.
Mix all the ingredients together and set aside. On the stove, put a couple tablespoons of avocado or olive oil in a skillet, turn up heat to medium and allow the pan to become hot.
Using a large scoop, scoop portions of the salmon mixture from bowl and form into the shape of a patty using your hands. Using caution, gently place the formed patty in the hot pan continuing to do this until all the mixture is gone. You may have to cook them in batches to avoid overcrowding them and add more oil as needed.
Let the cakes brown up, you may need to adjust the heat on your stove to avoid burning them. It's important that you let them fry for a few minutes to allow a "crust" to form so they are easy to flip over and stay intact, you just have to pay attention to them. If you try and flip them before they have a nice golden brown crust they will break. I usually have a small spatula and a fork to help the flipping process since they don't have bread crumbs to help bind them together they are more fragile.
When the patty is done cooking remove it from the hot pan and set on a paper towel. At this time you can serve it up and enjoy or you can put them in a glass storage container and keep them in the refrigerator until you are ready to eat them.
Serving Suggestions:
- as your protein on a bed of green with a delicious dressing or seafood sauce.
- under a poached egg, scrambled egg or fried egg.
- as a salmon cake wrap in butter lettuce with all the "burger" fixins.
- cold right from the refrigerator!

Parramatta Eels 20
Cronulla Sharks 22
5- George Jennings
Right Wing, Parramatta Eels
Just forget his two errors for a minute. Gennings had 18 runs for 176 metres, 2 tackle breaks, 17 tackles (without a miss) in an almost Semi-like performance. Me want more George.
9- Kaysa Pritchard
Hooker, Parramatta Eels
Kaysa's game tonight felt like a bad second date – I just sat there wondering where the magic of last weekend went.
10- Suaia Matagi
Prop, Parramatta Eels
13- Peni Terepo
Lock, Parramatta Eels
Peni Terepo made 40 tackles tonight (missing only 2), and had zero errors; so that's a pass mark in itself for the Butcher. Terepo's attacking game (9 runs for 82 metres) screams "reliable back up".
Knowing what we all knew before kick off regarding the Sharks' injury toll, I'm still a bit confused as to how we lost that game.
I'm sure I'm not alone in calling it for the Eels – if we don't beat the Bulldogs next week you can put a line through us for Season 2018.
Let it not be so.
See you then, sports fans.

Awful news for the Carolina Hurricanes this week, as both forward Jeff Skinner and defenseman Joni Pitkanen have both been diagnosed with concussions and both are expected to be out of the line-up indefinitely. There is no timetable for their return, but the team will follow the protocol for concussions, but I would think they will both miss some significant amount of time with the injury.
Skinner leads the team in pool scoring this season, having 12 goals and 12 assists in 30 games for the Hurricanes, now good enough for 59th overall in pool scoring, which would have him posted in as a 3rd round pick in our 22-team draft this year. He is the only Hurricanes player in the top-100 in pool scoring, as of Thursday afternoon, which doesn't bode well for the team, who have a giant hole to fill offensively.
Pitkanen is the team's leading defenseman in scoring, with 3 goals and 9 assists in 21 games this year, which is good enough for 263rd in pool scoring overall. With a concussion and a long time on the shelf, you know that ranking will drop quite a bit.
With both the team's best forward and defenseman on the shelf, you have to know that things are going to be a whole lot worse for Cam Ward, the team's starting goaltender, who is already having a poor season, statistically. If you can sell your shares in the Hurricanes, now might be a pretty good time to do it.
This is a very polarized set of circumstances in the pool, as Skinner belongs to the last place team of Darren S. and Pitkanen belongs to the pool leader, Wayne H.. I'm sure there are a number of teams in the pool that wish the players were switched, as they try to catch Wayne in the standings, but that isn't going to be the case. Wayne will lose a key piece of his blueline, but it may not be damning enough to make a huge difference to his lead at this point.
At the time of the injury, Wayne holds a 9-point lead on Stacey C. in 2nd, so we'll be keeping a close eye on this race.
