Top 10 power-play takeaways so far
Tom Collins
We are only six days into the NHL season, and while it is way too early to overreact, we can already have a look at power-play time on ice and see if there are any trends that start to emerge.
Of course, much can change. A coach could be trying something for three games, and by next weekend, things could shift completely. For those with weekly add-ons though, it could be worth the risk to pick up players who are getting unexpected minutes with the man advantage and see if they can stick it out for a while. On the flip side, it's a good time to see if there are any players to start expressing a little concern about.
Below are 10 players whose PP ice time has been a surprise — both positive and negative — so far this year.
10. Adrian Kempe
I wrote this before last night's game, hence why Kempe is ranked so low. However, in game one, he made quite the impression in L.A., skating on the top power-play unit with Ilya Kovalchuk, Anze Kopitar, Drew Doughty and Jake Muzzin. At even strength, Kempe is skating on the third line with the likes of Trevor Lewis, Nate Thompson and Kyle Clifford. While Kempe doesn't normally have much value in fantasy, if he can stay — and produce — on that first power-play unit, he could be worth a pickup in deep leagues.
9. Tyson Jost
Jost's average power-play ice time has gone up each year (and last season, it went up every quarter), but now he's found himself on that coveted number one power play. He spent part of last season there, so this shouldn't have come as too much a surprise, but you never know what coaches will do. Last year, Jost wasn't even a power-play option at the start of the season. He should be able to top the 22 points he had last year if he can stay on that top unit.
8. Sam Bennett
Bennett's power-play ice time is noticeable simply because he's not getting any. The last few years, he's at least been on the second unit and averaged anywhere from 1:14 to 1:58 per game. This year, he's averaged only four seconds per game. He's never been a power-play producer, but this is a further indication that he's in the doghouse in Calgary (his overall ice time is down from 14:24 last year to 7:54 this year).
7. Nick Leddy
During the summer months, Ryan Pulock was a sexy pick to have a breakout season, with many hoping that he was going to get more power-play time in New York. However, that hasn't turned out to be the case. Instead, Leddy has been on the ice for about 65 per cent of the Islanders' man-advantage minutes. Leddy is still a must-own in points-only pools, especially with that usage.
There was a debate in the offseason over who was going to man the Flyers top power-play unit. Would it be Wayne Simmonds, who lost the job last year while battling seemingly every injury known to man? Newly-signed James Van Riemsdyk? Travis Konecny, who had the job at the end of last season? Or even Nolan Patrick, the heir to Simmonds' power-play style? In the end, it was Simmonds reclaiming his spot, pushing the other three to the second unit.
5. Evander Kane
Keep in mind that Kane's role could quickly change with Joe Thornton going on the IR for at least a week, but so far, Kane has found himself on the second power-play unit. Probably not ideal for a guy two games into a contract will pay him $7 million a year for seven years. It is important to note that last year, he was on the top power play with the Sharks after he was traded from Buffalo, but that was with Thornton out for the year and no Erik Karlsson. With No. 65 forcing the Sharks to go with three forwards, two defensemen for the top power play, that explains why Kane is the odd man out.
4. Jason Spezza
New Dallas Stars coach Jim Montgomery said this summer that he planned to rotate Spezza onto the top power-play unit throughout the season. That should have alerted fantasy owners that Spezza might have been worth a fantasy pickup. He's started the season on the top unit (but still on the third line at even strength) and picked up two power-play assists in two games to start the season. The Dallas PP is clicking early, so that increase the odds of Spezza staying in that spot.
3. Milan Lucic
It's only been one game, but Lucic playing with Connor McDavid with the man advantage should be big news. It should also put a small dent into Ty Rattie projections, at least for a while. McDavid played 4:17 with the man advantage on Saturday. Lucic was on the ice for 3:13 of that time, while Rattie was at 52 seconds. Lucic scored a power-play goal in that game, so he should stay there for a while as long as he is producing.
Many had Hamilton pegged to be the Canes top power-play option after he was traded from Calgary this summer, but it hasn't turned out that way. While Hamilton has slowly been getting more power-play time, he's still on the second power-play unit and is averaging a total of 1:28 in three games. Justin Faulk, on the other hand, has twice the power-play minutes at 2:54 per game, but the two remain tied in man-advantage points with two.
1. Tyler Bozak
The Blues power play was anemic last season (the second-worst in the league) so it should be no surprise the team is going with a brand-new top power-play unit. In fact, three of the five people on the top group were brought in during the summer (Bozak, Ryan O'Reilly and Pat Maroon). Bozak might be the biggest surprise, playing almost 66 per cent of the Blues power play time so far (almost five minutes a game).
No data at this moment.

Larkin Toad 28: 10-5 Toad, Morrison's, Holderness Road
Does anyone else notice this toad's resemblance to Charlie Hull from The League of Gentlemen, down to the bristling moustache and red and white (Hull Kingston Rovers?) rugby league jersey? Could they possibly be related? Even the location is very League (Iris Krell's fond memories of 'all them Morrison's bags full of sick' that Mrs Levinson's daughter used to hide around the house. 10-5, non-Hullonian reader, refers to a celebrated Challenge Cup victory of Hull KR over Hull FC. 'Sully' on the toad's right side is the great Clive Sullivan. Here is a quick Hull streetcred test for any locally based ('are you local at all?') readers. How many times have you found yourself drinking in a Hull pub with someone who turns out to have been a former Hull KR or Hull FC player? Ever? I once stood having a pee beside Peter 'Flash' Flanagan, let me boast. This toad knows what I'm talking about. What a great toad.
2 comments:
It wasn't until after Flash Flanagan died that I realised the shambling Elvis impersonator often spotted about the old town was once a rugby hero.
Phil Lowe has been landlord of several pubs in the East Riding area, including his current one The Shakespeare in Hedon.

There may be a time when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but
there must never be a time when we fail to protest.
–Elie Wiesel, as
quoted in Survival
and resistance: The Netherlands under Nazi Assault
Powerless? Protest. Treated unjustly? Protest. That's the answer Elie Wiesel suggests in his sentence above. How we protest needs to be carefully considered, but is necessary. It feels like walking on the edge of a sand dune, each step could be the beginning of a fall downwards. Yet, failure to protest, to resist can be even more dangerous. If we don't actively resist where we are going in education today, we'll end up with this reality:
Worksheets and bookwork are safe. I have never been reprimanded for
failure to follow policy as it applies to worksheets distributed in the
classroom. . .Fire up the copy machine … I am book work bound.
Haulin' Net
Comment by Joe
Perhaps, some are already experiencing it. I like what Wes has to say on the subject…
Can any US legislative body ban all digital social networking in schools
and public libraries and stop these technologies from not only becoming
more robust and powerful, but also from being utilized by increasing
numbers of people– students included? No, they can't. Even authoritarian
China cannot stop our web 2.0 enabled conversations and our voices.

When I was younger, I imagined that the human race was evolving, moving as fast as it could to the one point when we would all be connected, when there would no longer be isolated remnants of humans, but a mass of people exchanging/fighting over ideas, constantly interacting. It would be at that time, I imagined, that the end of the world would come. It seemed obvious to my twenty-year old mind that once we all achieved spiritual awareness–or perhaps not–all of us would find ourselves pitched in a war that would divide us down the middle. We see the dichotomies in everything we do, I see the divided nature of humanity
fighting against itself. One group is fighting to ensure one-way, top down, authoritarian control of communication, while another group is fighting to ensure two-way open communication.
Technology then, boils down to communication–access to ideas and expression of those ideas. There may be a time, when authoritarian individuals and governments are fighting to ban social networking. And, the only response may be to be powerless and protest. Fortunately, that
day has not yet come…powerlessness can be powerful beyond measure when the powerless join together and their voices are heard. It makes no sense, and that may be because we're looking at the truth with one eye closed.

President Obama Pushes More Economic Diversity In Higher Ed
A promise to try to attract more low-income students by strengthening relationships with high schools and community colleges, increasing access to advisors and offering more remedial programs, was made by more than 100 colleges and universities, including several in California. President Obama's push for increased of college accessibility as one of his top goals led to those pledges.
Participants who had made commitments to further the effort were invited to the White House by the president. The best way to ensure more economic opportunity is through higher education, said Obama.
"More than ever, a college degree is the surest path to a stable, middle-class life," the president said at the White House summit.
New incentives to push colleges to adopt programs that could reduce costs, such as offering three-year degrees, and proposed expanding an income-based student loan debt repayment plan were called for by the president last summer. Programs to attract low-income students who may not have had much exposure to higher education benefited the president and First Lady Michelle Obama, they both stated.
"I know that there are so many kids out there just like me — kids who have a world of potential, but maybe their parents never went to college or maybe they've never been encouraged to believe they could succeed there," said the first lady, who went to Princeton University and Harvard Law School.
After being contacted by federal officials, several companies and nonprofit groups pledged additional funds for programs. According to Deborah Bial, the group's president, the nonprofit Posse Foundation raised a mammoth $70 million that will provide scholarships to 500 students.
"That would not have happened if the White House didn't call," she said.
Increased diversity had already been made a top goal as claimed by a majority of college officials. However, the president's encouragement is meant to help them work collaboratively.
"We have been working on this problem for a long time, but there are still many challenges," said Claremont McKenna College President, Hiram Chodosh.
As Jason Song of Los Angeles Times reports, about 200 of nearly 1,300 Claremont students are black or Latino. Claremont plans to raise a staggering $100 million for financial aid and to recruit more students from middle- and lower-income families. Additionally, Chodosh said that administrators also plan to study how students perform academically after taking certain programs and classes.
According to officials, Pomona College officials intend to increase the percentage of students who receive Pell grants, which are aimed at lower-income students, and to accept more community college transfers.
The California State University system will spend $8 million to hire 70 more advisors on campuses with an additional $8 million to expand its summer program for incoming freshmen. The Cal States are working with community colleges and the UC system to create a way to track students as they move between their campuses, said Chancellor Timothy P. White.
"We've been talking about reinvigorating our partnerships," White said.

The tragedy of the Middle East rolls on, and it has its source in what Arab leaders have done to their own people. They've lied to them. They've stolen from them. They've consigned them to lives of drudgery and grinding poverty. They've abused them.
Worse, they've destroyed their own children.
On June 29, 2007, Palestinian TV broadcast on a popular children's show, the murder of a favorite children's character: Farfour, a Mickey Mouse-like character. The adorable little girl, who is the show's presenter, ends the show with this statement:
Saraa, child host: Yes, my dear children, we have lost our dearest friend, Farfour. Farfour was martyred while defending his land, the land of his fathers and his forefathers. He was martyred at the hand of the criminals, the murderers, the murderers of innocent children, who killed Iman Hijo, Muhammad Al-Dura, and many others.
Now, just a few days ago, they've created a new character for children to watch, Nahour the Bee. Here's the dialog from the same children's show, featuring Nahoul the Bee, which aired on July 13:
Saraa, child host: Who are you, and where did you come from?
Nahoul the Bee: I am Nahoul.
Saraa: Nahoul who?
Nahoul: I'm Nahoul, Farfour's cousin.
Saraa: What do you want?
Nahoul: I want to continue the path of my cousin Farfour.
Saraa: How do you want to do this?
Nahoul: I want to be in every episode with you on the Pioneers of Tomorrow show, just like Farfour. I want to continue in the path of Farfour – the path of Islam, of heroism, of martyrdom, and of the mujahideen. Me and my friends will follow in the footsteps of Farfour. We will take revenge upon the enemies of Allah, the killer of the prophets and of the innocent children, until we liberate Al-Aqsa from their impurity. We place our trust in Allah.
Saraa: Welcome, Nahoul…

How can there be ANY hope for peace in the Middle East with these kinds of programs airing on Palestinian TV?
After 14 years of living in Israel, I have NEVER seen any kind of program on Israeli television like this. Israeli television goes out of its way to produce programs that foster peaceful attitudes among Israeli children.Â
What the Palestinian leadership has done to Israel is despicable and infuriating. But, what they have done to their own children is far worse.
They dare to speak about Israel with such self-righteousness and indignation, while they steal the future of their children and enslave them to their own political ambitions.

text: Posted on March 26, 2019March 26, 2019 by Mark Goodman Newsletter March 24 2019 WHAT'S HAPPENING : The Ontario greenhouses have started up again. This is a big reason for the very low IN PRODUCE prices on english cucumbers lately. Next up are peppers and tomatoes and you will notice the cheaper price on the locally grown greenhouse varieties. Peppers prices haven't fallen off so quickly because the field grown varieties are still expensive. The prices on broccoli, cauliflower and iceberg lettuce are all more expensive this week. Celery prices are completely out of control and are at the highest ever seen. The reason for most of these high prices is the weather. The growers have all struggled through more rain and wind than usual coupled with lower temperatures. The desert regions are now approaching the end of their season and the transition to the northern region of California. This switch will bring on a new set of issues for growers.. and us as well. WHAT YOU : Use celery sparingly. For recipes use celery root where possible as it is much cheaper. NEED TO KNOW Prices on iceberg lettuce have jumped higher so use more romaine and romaine hearts. THIS WEEK Prices on onions are higher as local supplies are finished and the imports from the USA have a much higher landed cost. Cooking, red and spanish onions have all been affected. Strawberry prices are higher because the Florida season has come to an end. California grown strawberries are great quality – just a bit more expensive than we've seen lately. YOUR : Asparagus, bunched broccoli is cheaper than broccoli crowns, butternut squash is the BEST BUYS cheapest option in hard winter squash, corn, plum tomatoes are the best value in the tomato section for 25lbboxes, grape tomatoes and green zucchini. If you need a larger size green zucchini for grilling buy the 40lb crate zucchini. They are always large and much cheaper than the medium or fancy size 20lb cases. In fruit use blackberries, cantaloupes, clementines, figs, kiwi, lemons, oranges, pineapples and strawberries.

The EncASa Oaxaca 2018 project, which we develop in partnership with the Government of the State of Oaxaca, through its Infrastructure and Sustainable Territory Development Secretary –so called SINFRA–, and the Spanish and Mexican Agencies for International Development Cooperation –so called AECID and AMEXCID respectively–, continues progressing with the goal of bringing access to electricity to 1,000 households and executing a pilot to bring access to water, sanitation and cook stoves to at least 50 ones.
In order to get to know those advances on site, Enrique Toledo –Manager at acciona.org in Mexico– accompanied Jose Navarro –Head of Programmes at AECID–, Fabian Alejandro Vazquez –Undersecretary for Territory Planning at SINFRA–, and Sinai Casillas –Director of Settlements at SINFRA–, to the communities of San Miguel Ecatepec and Lic. Ignacio Martinez Bautista in Oaxaca (Mexico). They visited some homes where demonstrative systems have been installed to give water, sanitation, cooking and electricity services.
Inhabitants of those localities told their stories and explained the improvements in their living conditions and family habits to the visitors. All of them showed their satisfaction with the service, and gave evidence of their identification with the actions as well as the partners of the project, and they expressed their gratitude to them for both having given support and making things easier during the mounting of the systems.
"The lack of electricity, access to drinking water or sanitation systems provokes many problems in our communities. Today, our quality of life is changing by having access to water, sanitation, firewood-saver cook stoves and electricity systems". This was the testimony of the inhabitants of the visited communities.
The access to basic services provided by EncASa Oaxaca impacts positively on the economy, society and environment of the beneficiaries of this action, which is aligned with the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) included in the United Nations' 2030 Agenda.
At acciona.org we work to bring access to energy, water and sanitation to very low-income people who live not being included in any plan of extension of those service, for which we apply technological and managerial innovation criteria. Thus, we contribute to achieve the SDG directly related SDG6 on water & sanitation, SDG7 on sustainable & affordable energy, and SDG9 on resilient infrastructures and promotion of innovation. That contribution is part of the ACCIONA commitment to the SDG's.
We also favour the achievement of other SDG's through the positive impacts of our activity resulting in reduction of poverty, improvement of health, education, equality, work, etc., as well as through the collaborative view with which we execute our actions, such as the public-private partnership for development that carries out EncASa Oaxaca.

Heather's goal is to graduate and work in a body shop---concentrating on the hands-on body repair and/or paint work. In addition to Heather's busy school schedule, she does find the time to be a regular volunteer at a local dog rescue facility.
Tamara Meyers
Tamara attends Lake Technical College in Eustis, FL. It wasn't until Tamara needed auto body work on her personal car that she took interest in the industry. Before then, she worked at a zoo, was a cook and even trained horses. Now her days are spent covered in dust from sanding, but knowing the customer will be thrilled with her work puts a big smile on her face. Tamara is now a student ambassador, giving tours and speaking about the auto collision field.

The past few weeks have witnessed several instances where shareholders have rejected executive compensation packages proposed by bank boards. Is this the dawn of a new era in corporate governance?
Many years ago when I was Business Manager to the Global Head of Treasury at ABN AMRO, the unit submitted its bonus request for that year to the director responsible for the investment banking unit. When he saw the size of the request his acerbic response was; "so what about the shareholders".
It would appear that shareholders around the world are now beginning to ask the same question. From one bank to the next shareholders are venting their displeasure at the size of executive compensation plans—forcing management to revise their payouts.
Recently, Citigroup has had its executive pay plans voted down by its shareholders while the shareholders of UBS revolted against management compensation as well as management actions. Barclays and Credit Suisse have also suffered shareholder revolts and Bank of America seems to be the next in line.
The question is what happens next? How far does this revolt go? Does it stop at the directors or does it cover other highly paid executives and employees further down the corporate hierarchy who in some cases actually earn more than the directors?
If this happens then management has to determine the most appropriate path to take—and they have two basic choices.
In the year at ABN AMRO referred to above we had to go back to the drawing board with the bonus pool and the big decision was whether or not to reduce individual allocations across the board, or, pay the "superstars" to the detriment and at the expense of everyone else. The latter alternative prevailed but it had a negative effect on staff morale and in the long run proved to be counterproductive.
The choice between the superstars and the rest is in effect a choice between banks building strong teams that provide stable results, or, rewarding individualism—a strategy that brings with it greater volatility of both risks and earnings. The current post financial crisis environment definitely favors the former.
The financial crisis has ensured that shareholders will now adopt a more interventionist approach to corporate governance and they have been emboldened by their latest moves—as well as the fact that the Dodd Frank Act specifically grants shareholders a say on executive pay. We can thus be sure that there will be future shareholder rebellions and interventions and that they won't be limited to executive pay.
This will ultimately have implications for business focus, strategy and risk. It should make for very interesting times within the banking industry.

The United Nation Marshal Service (USMS) is a federal law enforcement service within the U.S Department of Justice. It is the oldest American Federal Law-Enforcement Judiciary Act which was founded in the year 1789 to serve the federal court system. US marshals have the broadest arrest authority of all federal law enforcement agents and work in many federal law enforcement situations.
The United States had issued U.S Marshals Commemorative Coin on 29th January 2015. These coins were issued in an occasion to mark the 225th anniversary of the establishment of Nation's first federal law enforcement agency.
The US had issued this coin with the denomination of 5, 1, and Half Dollars. In highest denomination they had minted around 100,000 coins, in 1 dollar they had issued around 500,000 coins and in Half-Dollar they have issued around 750,000 coins.
This half-dollar issued by them depicts U.S Marshal with his horse in the upper left and female U.S Marshal in the lower right on the obverse. The reverse of the coin depicts the lady justice with the scale of justice in her left hand and U.S Marshal Service in her right hand. The copy of United States Constitution is kept next to the lady justice with the stack of school books, handcuffs, and whiskey jug, these objects symbolize well-known area of responsibility in the history of U.S Marshal Service. The obverse of this coin was designed by Joel Iskowitz and engraved by Michal Gaudioso and the reverse of this coin was designed by Susan Gamble and was engraved by Phebe Hemphill.

Come to my house
It is no mansion in the sky
Or where you go when you die
It is a place where I try to keep love alive
And God is always there with me.
Let us be friends while we can
As we journey together in this land
Can we love one another and sing in our heart
Share the bread of God until we must part
To meet again on that far distant shore.
Life is like a river
Water flowing free and always moving onward
With Christ guiding me
Oh sweet Jesus please take my hand
Lead me to the promise land
Never to forsake me as I make my stand
In witness of all my love for thee

Cory Robinson Is New Curator of History at Fort Concho
Cory Robinson has been promoted to curator of history at Fort Concho, taking responsibility for the site's thousands of artifacts, their care and their use in programs and exhibits.
Cory has served Fort Concho for 13 years as a guide and currently as the visitor and volunteer services coordinator. He will assume his new position effective Sept. 1.
A native of Bronte and a graduate of Angelo State University with a degree in history, Robinson earned his master's degree in history from ASU, writing his thesis on a Fort Concho post surgeon, Dr. S.L.S. Smith. Robinson is serving as an adjunct professor of history at Angelo State this fall.
"I have always had a passion for history, especially with material culture," Robinson said, "and I look forward to working with the fort's rich collections to make them more visible to our community and our many guests."
Fort Concho Manager Bob Bluthardt noted Robinson's many accomplishments in displays, research and the creation of dozens of high-quality replica clothing and equipment items. "Many of his creations reflect hours of research and handiwork, looking identical to the original piece," Bluthardt said.
The position Robinson is assuming has been open since 2008, when longtime Curator of Collections Kathy Roland retired.
"Kathy left our collections in good shape," Bluthardt said, "but we needed to move ahead with new acquisitions and programs, so we've broadened the duties and look forward to Cory's enthusiasm and ideas."
Robinson noted he'll have the best of both areas in collections and interpretation/education.
"I enjoy working with history, our guests and our volunteers, and this new position will let me combine them all," he said.

Mobility -- me likey
>> Friday, August 15, 2008
I'll be in Ipoh this weekend for a workshop with a bunch of friends -- we're the facilitators :) In a way, I'm very excited to be on my way to Ipoh (just imagine the travel, fun, & food!!), but on the other hand, a teeney-weeney bit of me is concerned 'bout work...believe it or not.
I'm still lingering on the fact that my life relies sooo much on the internet, particularly the wireless networks! Just imagine, without the wireless network, I won't be able to blog & do all that I enjoy doing online!
Just yesterday, I was at a bus terminal in KL, waiting for my friends to arrive from Kuantan, & I had my laptop. I was just too bored waiting for them, so I pulled out the laptop, thinking of playing some games that I could find in my computer....and voila! "Wireless connectivity available"!! *fuyoh!* Msn came up, movies came up, & I was kept well-entertained :P
Currently, I'm at the hospital for some follow-up, & since yesterday, I learnt the lesson to bring my laptop around :D You'll not believe it that there's FULL BAR wireless connectivitiy in the hospital itself as well!! *faints in surprise* It's SO amazed & excited!
In an hour's time, I'll be leaving to Ipoh! Ah....it'll be another exciting weekend!! *claps & dances in delight* ;) I'll do my best to do a 'coverage' on good food stuff in Ipoh for you all! Stay tuned ;)

HTC Philippines have officially launched the remaining HTC One device in the Philippines, together with two other HTC devices. The HTC One S will be sold in the country with an SRP of Php 24,990. The HTC One S is the HTC One device that sits in the middle of the trio (HTC One X and the One V). A great smartphone running on Android to power you the whole day and give you a great experience when you use it. And if you ask me why HTC did not launch this device together with its rightful brethren, I don't have the answer for that.
Together with the HTC One S that was launched was the HTC Desire V. Not to be late and be way behind the Indian launching of this dual-sim, Android-running smartphone, HTC Philippines prices the smartphone at Php 16,990. Not bad if you are getting the device with dual-sim capability and that amazing Android platform.
Yup! If you are new to these devices simply click on the hyperlinks I made on their names (and for the Desire V, click on the link above) for their specs.

Number 1: My Family and Friends
I completely couldnt survive without them. My lovely Mum and all of the family on my side, and my lovely In-Laws. We have had a tough couple of weeks, as the Blattman's cousin died suddenly aged only 30, and although this is an awful experience, it was nice to see how a family comes together and supports each other,. We did the same when my Grandad died and it is a reminder how family can be the best thing. The picture below is from our wedding (obviously-as much as Id love to wear my dress every day, I dont!) and is of us and our parents (and step-parents)
2. Knitting
How could this not be on my list?!! I love knitting and actually do it every day, it is my addiction and I am never going to give up!!! My name is Sarah and im addicted to knitting. It relaxes me, it calms me, it challenges me and I have met so many new friends from around the world with thanks to my knitting. What more can a girl want?
3. My Wonderful Husband
4. Christmas
I know I know, not more Christmas, but at least it is December this time. I am loving christmas, but I am getting a bit stressed now. I have a few presents still to finish off and still to buy but I am getting stressed, and I hate it. I love this festive time of year and I want to enjoy it. I will share lovely pictures of my christmas tree soon because we have put it up and the Blattcave is looking decidedly festive. I ahve all my lovely candles burning, my nativites up and my tree is twinkly.
5. The Dentist
No I am totally not one of those people who enjoys the dentist. In fact, I am petrified and hate every minute. But the reason that today the dentist makes me happy is that by the end of the afternoon, when I have finished up with the dentist it will be another 6 months till I have to go again!!!

BEMER gives the edge in Sport
Achieve Top Sporting Performance
Improved performance and faster regeneration are convincing factors for the users
For many years BEMER devices have been the constant companions to numerous athletes in competitive and high-performance sports
The proven BEMER application increases micro-circulation & significantly improves the flow characteristics of the blood. Muscle cells receive more oxygen & nutrients. The supply of energy and the removal of metabolic waste are improved. Sports fitness following competitive events can be more rapidly restored.
Prof. Dr. Winfried Banzer from Frankfurt: "Improving microcirculation through BEMER application can have a crucial effect on the fitness level and training program of sportsmen and women."
Professional sportspeople and those involved in recreational sports are always looking for ways in which to optimise their level of fitness and performance. Areas in which athletes expect to benefit include:
- regeneration of the overtaxed body,
- relief from muscle ache,
- healing of strained structures,
- recovery from exhaustion or overtraining syndromes
- healing of sports injuries
The BEMER electromagnetic field therapy system offers athletes a legal, side-effect free way of achieving these goals.
Pulsed electromagnetic impulses, up to an intensity equivalent to the earth's natural magnetic field, are applied to the body. The BEMER signal, developed by the physicist Prof. Dr. Wolf A. Kafka, is different to the impulses generated by other devices on account of its particularly broad frequency spectrum.
In their scientific studies Dr. R. Klopp (institute for Microcirculation in Berlin), Dr. K. Spodaryk (Institute for Rehabilitation in Krakau), Dr. R. Jelinek (Charles University in Prague), Dr. B. Villiger (Swiss Medical Center Bad Ragaz) and the sports scientist H. Mchaelis (Academy for Bioenergetics in Liechtenstein) with Karin Möbes were able to produce significant results as to the effect of BEMER therapy.
Benefits favouring the use of BEMER in sports:
- The sports person will have the benefit of an improved recovery from exertion, as cells under duress can be regenerated and the toxins will be removed rapidly.
- A delay in the onset of muscle ache
- The waste products that are produced during exercise are broken down & removed from muscle and other tissue more effectively.
- Edemas (swellings) are significantly reduced.
- The BEMER treatment stimulates the synthesis and release of repair proteins, involved in tissue repair, dramatically increasing the healing.
By applying BEMER prior to competition/training, the warm-up time is greatly reduced and precious energy is saved.
BEMER optimises Recovery & Performance in Sport
Using BEMER to Optimise Performance & Recovery
Dr. Horst Michaelis – Sports Medicine Doctor & ex-Director of the Academy for Bioenergetics
A number of clinical and experimental studies prove that physical activity will lengthen life expectancy and provide a certain amount of protection from chronic and age related diseases. Every sport we perform includes physical activity (other than Chess maybe), but not all forms of sport correspond to the natural movements of the body. Repeated movements that are unnatural to our physiology will cause deterioration and injury. With the striving toward personal peak performance, sport often leads to excessive physical taxation and exertion.
Intensive training and insufficient regeneration lead to high acidity and to 'over training'. What follows is often a reduction in performance and a higher chance for injuries. Thousands of people per year experience serious sporting accidents in professional training or recreation, including torn muscles, pulled tendons, dislocated joints and broken bones. The result often is time out from training or missing work.
In addition, continued misuse or over-use of certain joints and muscles through injury of others can lead to chronic illness like osteoarthritis.
Effects of BEMER:
Bio electricity and electro-magnetism form the basis of all life. Metabolism, growth, regeneration, healing, etc. are produced and regulated by electro-magnetic mechanisms. The electro-magnetic potential of the nerve- and muscle activity and their secondary metabolic and energetic effects are fundamentally essential for a healthy metabolism. Healthy tissue structures can only be formed and upheld in the presence of sufficient electro-magnetic activity.
For the athlete, the necessary supply of electro-magnetic energy within the organism is reduced in the following manner: 1. Strenuous physical activity can lead to a lack of oxygen (anaerobic metabolism), and therefore to accumulation of lactic acid in the tissues. 2. An injury forces the athlete to become inactive (electro-magnetic energy is created through movement).
The BEMER induces a wide-band low frequency electro-magnetic field with an intensity matching that of natural biological systems and thus improves the energy level without any side effects. Through a multitude of physiological processes, like improved circulation, increased oxygen partial pressure in the blood, anti-traumatic and anti-swelling effects, as well as activation of the synthesis of certain proteins, the body's natural healing- and regeneration powers are increased by about 40%. Quick regeneration has become one of the deciding factors in sports competitions today, where a fraction of a second can be decisive.
BEMER therapy before and after sport activities provides the following advantages for the athlete:
- Highest possible performance, through activation of the cell metabolism
- Optimum preparation for training and competition, through energy conserving warm up
- Decreased risk for injuries, through improved blood circulation in the muscles
- Faster healing of sport injuries
- Prevention of long-term injury effects
- Highest possible performance through activation of metabolism and quicker regeneration
Therapy with the BEMER leads to improved viscosity of the blood, increased circulation and higher oxygen partial pressure in the blood, which brings more oxygen and nutrients to the individual muscle cells. Since cell metabolism is also optimised, these additional energy carriers can be used more efficiently. The cells under duress can be regenerated and detoxified faster (from acid/lactose) and metabolic waste products are broken down and removed from the tissues.
Optimum preparation for training and competition by means of energy conserving warm up: In every sport, a good warm up is the prerequisite for top performance and reduces risk of the injuries. At the same time though, it costs the athlete valuable energy. BEMER warms the muscle tissue and activates metabolism. Therefore, the warm up can be reduced to a discipline-specific minimum and the saved energy is available for the competition itself.
Decreased risk for injuries through improved circulation: Through improved regeneration, especially that of the muscles, hardening of the muscle tissue is prevented and/or decreased. This reduces incidents of torn muscles and ligaments and other related injuries.
Faster healing of sport injuries: By using the intensive applicator on the injury site, traumatised tissue and edema get reduced significantly faster. Also, due to the increased synthesis of repair proteins, a faster healing process is achieved.
Prevention of long-term injury effects: Long term disabilities due to sport injuries are the result of irreversible changes caused by repeated tissue damage. Through quick and complete regeneration of damaged tissue, sport related disabilities and chronic conditions can largely be prevented. BEMER is used in Europe by several professional sports teams and competing athletes, who consider the therapy essential to their continued success.

Sports People & Teams that use BEMER
The BEMER has been implemented by various sports institutes and clinics around the world. It is used by many individual athletes and trainers, both locally and internationally.
Prof. Dr. Dr. Winfried Banzer – Institute of Sports Medicine, University of Frankfurt"Improving microcirculation through BEMER application has a crucial effect on the fitness level and training program of sportsmen and women."
Dr. Beat Villiger – Chief Medical Officer of Swiss Olympic Team
"The advantage of the BEMER Therapy lies in its scientifically-proven effect."
Dr. Horst Michaelis – ex-Director of the academy of Bioenergetics (Sports medicine centre) Swiss Olympic trainer development project coach
"Regeneration is a keyword in all sports disciplines, and with the improved circulation it lessens the warm up period for the athletes; leaving them with more energy for the actual Contest."
The International Federation of Sports Medicine
Experts and researchers in the field of BEMER therapy were invited to discuss the benefits of the BEMER, as an effective tool in sports medicine, by FIMS, the International Federation of Sports Medicine, at their congress during June 2006, ahead of the Olympic Games in 2008.
The following high performance sports people & teams have a decisive advantage by using BEMER:
Swiss Olympic Team
The Swiss Olympic Team officially endorsed the BEMER and 25 BEMER therapy systems accompanied the top Swiss athletes to the Olympic games in Athens 2004 and 2008. This compliments the nine Swiss Olympic medical centres already using the BEMER. BEMER offers an advantage to all 1 400 Swiss competitive athletes who make up the team.
Trans Alp Challenge
The Bemer has also been used to great effect during the week-long Trans-Alp Mountain Bike Competition, one of the most demanding races for this sport as it leads through various alpine countries. This annual event is supported by BEMER in full co-operation with main sponsor Adidas and the response of the bikers to the Bemer support team and the BEMER therapy is overwhelmingly positive. Accidents and injuries are quite frequent during such
Cape Epic Mountain Bike Challenge
BEMER has also made a significant contribution during the Cape Epic Mountain Bike Race. During the Cape Epic, BEMER Therapy was used to treat cyclist's exhaustion, provided regeneration and brought relief and recovery in cases of injuries and wounds. The BEMER Tent was a popular destination for the cyclists. Cyclists with broken skin, damaged joints (especially knees and wrists), broken bones, backaches and cramps were given daily BEMER treatment.
RAAM: Race Across America took place early summer 2016.
BEMER co-sponsored four top level bike riders.
The race lasted only 5 days, traveling 24/7 from Oceanside, California to the Annapolis, Maryland….over 3,000 miles of distance.
Our racers changed places every 17-22 min. throughout the race. The racer would then use the BEMER before and after every leg of their participation.
Early in the race, riders faced 116 degree temps in Arizona on the pavement. The riders feel that BEMER helped them stay hydrated throughout the race.
RAAM was the 'first ever road race in America' assisted by BEMER.
RESULTS, OUR TEAM WON THE RACE in our division of Four Man/Woman teams. However, our team also beat the competitors in the 8 man/woman teams by a 16 minute margin, as well. This is phenomenal.

|Paul MentisGold, World Games Bodybuilding Champion [Greece]Round about 6 weeks before my world championship training preparations, one of the most intense training periods for any athlete, I tore my infraspinatus muscle. My first thoughts were that I would have to terminate my preparations as the medical diagnosis was: Three weeks total rest and administration of antirheumatic and anti-phlogistic medicine. This would have effectively ruined my participation in the World Games in Japan. The situation was critical; I could not move my left arm and hence could not train anymore. As it happened, Mr Ulmer, who owned a Bemer 3000 privately, offered me the use of his Bemer 3000. At this stage of a desperate situation, I was open to "anything" and I gladly accepted the opportunity to undergo Bemer 3000 treatment. The astonishing thing was that I was able to move my left arm after only two therapy sessions and I decided to recommence my training program the very next day. I won the Gold Medal at the World Games in Japan! My winning is not due to the Bemer treatment alone, however no matter how good the training preparation, without the Bemer 3000 I would not have been able to compete at all. The advantages of improved circulation, fast regeneration from a sports injury, improved metabolism and the likely prevention of further injuries let me whole – heartedly recommend the Bemer 3000 Therapy for my own Fitness Studio. Now of course, I use the Bemer 3000 Therapy for myself regularly.

Specifically my muscles, which atrophied after becoming a paraplegic, are getting stronger. The BEMER mat is excellent in supporting the building of muscle. The main reason, however, why the Bemer-mat accompanies me all year round to the wheelchair tennis tournaments, is the fact that I am experiencing much less nerve pain in my legs since I started using the Bemer, and therefore am more able to enjoy life. Less nerve pain for me means also a good night's sleep. Consequently, I feel much more rested in the morning, and can tackle the day's challenges with vigour.

Alex Solutions
Last Updated:
Analyst Coverage: Daniel Howard
Alex Solutions Pty Ltd is an Australian start-up that has its headquarters in Melbourne, Australia. It was founded as recently as 2016, but despite this it has found a global customer base and significant industry recognition.
Alex Solutions
Last Updated: 12th February 2019
Mutable Award: One To Watch 2018
Alex Solutions is, in principle, an enterprise level solution for metadata management. In truth, Alex Solutions is not easy to describe in terms of a single use case. In actuality, the product is well equipped to handle several use cases, including data governance/data stewardship, data cataloguing, and data quality, especially where data lineage and traceability is a requirement. It is available both in-cloud and on-premises.
Customer Quotes
"Alex has helped our governance and data stewardship implementation. We look forward to utilizing Alex more and to add more of its new scanners in the future."
Energy Retailer
"The Scanner Orchestration user interface is very good. The overall user interface consistency was evident and important to support our continued rollout across the bank."
Retail Bank
"We were initially attracted to Alex for the metadata lineage feature, but as we explored further the overall visual interface and depth of features has continued to impress our entire team."
Global Telco
Alex Solutions uses ALEX Intelligent Scanners to collect metadata located throughout your system, then catalogue and profile it within a single platform. These scanners are exposed in the Scanner Marketplace, which allows you to manage any ongoing scanners, view a scan history, and schedule upcoming scans.
ALEX Intelligent Scanners are technology agnostic, meaning that they do not care where or how your metadata is stored. This includes compatibility with a wide range of third party products and formats; a selection of these are shown in Figure 1, and this list is being updated on a regular basis. This means that you can capture metadata from all the different components within your system and catalogue it all in a single location. This is clearly a major boon when it comes to cataloguing, governing, and otherwise just managing the metadata within a complex environment.
In addition to capturing metadata that already exists, Alex Solutions' scanners are able to infer and subsequently generate new metadata which up until now had only existed implicitly, such as in logging information or usage statistics. This can be useful, for example, for identifying patterns in your metadata which have not been stated explicitly and that you may not even know about.
Moreover, you have the option of adding policy rules to the scanning process. When these are utilised, the product's scanners will test incoming metadata to see if it complies with your policy rules and add additional business context to support analysis activities. For example, you could create a policy rule that would automatically flag sensitive data that is insufficiently protected. These scans can also be scheduled to run on existing metadata. An integrated workflow feature is also available to support and track relevant personnel and requests to support appropriate actions on the underlying data.
Similarly, you can leverage your scanners to automatically tag incoming metadata. This can be done deterministically based on business rules, or using pattern recognition via machine learning (also known as 'Intelligent Tagging'). Tags can also be assigned manually after-the-fact within the Data Marketplace, with a full audit history of any edits made.
The Data Marketplace itself is shown in Figure 2. It allows you to access and explore the metadata you have collected via your scans in a variety of different ways. The home page, as you can see in Figure 2, is a dashboard that displays, among other things, a high-level summary of your collected metadata. The "explore" page goes into further detail in this regard, allowing you to view, search and filter your metadata before drilling down to see more detail. Note that all metadata ingested into the platform is indexed to enable highly performant searching and filtering. You are also able to view data flows or data lineage through your system, as well as subsets of those data flows that pertain to a particular data asset (known as a data map). The other tabs in this screenshot – capture, explore, analyse and action – do what their names suggest. For example, the "analyse" option allows you to view a variety of automatically generated analytics regarding your data, including, for example, data usage and compliance analytics.
There are two major business drivers for the adoption of solutions such as Alex. The first relates to leveraging the value of data, and the second to the protection or governance of data. One of the biggest drivers for data governance, and even more so for data cataloguing, is the need to manage all of your data (and therefore all of the metadata) within a complex environment composed of a large and diverse selection of products and tools. For example, particularly with the advent of GDPR, every organisation needs to discover and keep track of its sensitive data. This is much easier, safer and more efficient when you can identify that sensitive data consistently and universally across all of your data assets, rather than requiring a separate implementation for every part of your environment. This is one of the areas in which Alex Solutions excels, allowing you to view – and act on – your system holistically, rather than as a series of silos.
More than that, the quantity and value of data available to organisations is increasing at a rapid pace. According to IDC, it is doubling every two years. This has a number of knock-on effects, but two are particularly pertinent. First, the demand for data and metadata within organisations has increased, to the point that requiring business users to go through IT to be able to access or examine their data is often too slow. This is rapidly making self-service a must-have. Second, when dealing with Big Data, you need a system for automatically curating and profiling it: there is simply too much of it for organising it by hand to be feasible. Alex Solutions addresses both of these issues. For the former, it provides self-service via the data marketplace. For the latter, it features automatic data profiling and intelligent tagging.
The Bottom Line
It's difficult to classify Alex Solutions, because it fits well into several different categories. If you're after a data catalogue, or a metadata management solution, it certainly qualifies. It's a capable product for data governance and data quality, too. In any of these cases, it is certainly worth consideration, particularly if your environment consists of a large number of different products. All in all, it is not a product to be dismissed lightly.

A really exciting day, full of love for the sport, happened a few weeks ago in MBM Biliardi company.
The meeting between the AP Paraplegic Association of Rome, (Italy) and MBM Biliardi took place in the historical headquarter, in the factory situated in Paliano (FR), Italy.
The representatives of the Association, always great lovers of the sport of Billiards, have first visited the production area and showroom, admiring the various stages of production and the creation of a pool table, from the cut of the single parts, accurate and highly technological, to the meticulous and perfect finishing and at last the assembly of parts, until obtaining the amazing result that we usually admire every time we happen to get into a billiards room and play this wonderful sport.
Finally entertained themselves with some representatives of the MBM Biliardi in a thrilling game to the last cue!!
Outcome of match?
A wonderful news for the World of Billiard…

Error: When performing a reconcile or saving edits to a geodatabase, 'Fatal Error' returns
Error Message
ArcMap may fail with a fatal error when saving edits to a geodatabase version or when performing a reconcile. This fatal error may occur with ArcObject applications as well.
The fatal error will not cause data loss or data corruption, but the edit session will loose all the changes since the last successful 'Save Edits' operation.
This specific fatal error only occurs if you have installed ArcGIS 8.1 Service Pack 1 - Geodatabase Patch (Aidt-81SP1-10), or ArcGIS 8.1 Service Pack 1 - Geodatabase Patch v 2 (Aidt-81SP1-13).
The cause of the fatal error is due to a problem in the geodatabase cache with relationship classes used during a reconcile.
The application will not fail on the first reconcile, but it will fail on a second reconcile. For example:
· Two users are editing the same version and one attempts to save the edits a second time, forcing the edit session to be reconciled with the current representation of the version.
· A user reconciles a version with its parent version, and prior to posting, re-reconciles the version because the parent version has been modified.
Solution or Workaround
Download the most recent version of ArcGIS 8.1 Service Pack 1 - Geodatabase Patch (Aidt-81SP1-10). See Related Information below.
This issue has been resolved in ArcGIS Version 8.1.2.

UK mountain bike legend Steve Peat has announced that 2016 will be his last downhill racing season. To talk about it, he made a video in Norway with some lovely riding:
Steve is so much more than a racer, supporting and hosting events like bike jumbles and races, especially in his local community of Sheffield. He's also a tireless proponent of getting kids into cycling.
Here's hoping 2016 is a good year for Peaty. For now, given it's only ten-thirty a.m., we raise a cup of tea to him and look forward to all the things he'll do thereafter.

With my Diclectin prescription officially over by 5 days I can say without hesitation that I'm one of those people who has morning sickness well past 12 weeks.
Had two full throw-up close calls today and am averaging about 12 dry heave sessions per day. I have the full sea sickies all morning and for about 2 hours in the later afternoon.
Will it never end? Have doc appointment on friday and will be begging for more drugs – no question. Hard to function in this state and am on vacation with family next week. Kind of hard to have family dinners when the smell of food leads to the heave ho.

Imperial Beach to Celebrate Military Appreciation Day at Dunes Park on Saturday November 11th!
Oct 29, 2017 10:08PM
By Paul Spear
Imperial Beach will pay tribute to those serving now and those that served in the past at Military Appreciation Day on Saturday November 11th at Dunes Park!
There will be live Music, a Beer Garden and Kids Zone plus all sorts of food and freebies or discounted items for those that are serving or have served in the past.
Veteran's Day, Saturday, November 11, Noon until 4, Dunes Park.
Concert, Cook Out, Kids Zone, Beer Garden, Community Exhibitors.
The Third Annual Imperial Beach Military Appreciation Day is a community-wide fun event, open to everybody. The City of Imperial Beach began the special event in 2015 to recognize our military community members and their families. In 2016, the Imperial Beach Chamber of Commerce, Business Improvement District, and business leaders teamed with the three local Veteran's organizations to continue the tradition. The Fleet Reserve Association Branch 289, Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 5477 and American Legion Post 820 are all major participants in the planning and conduct of this very family oriented celebration.
The music will be great. Bring your chairs and enjoy a full afternoon of live music.
The concert begins at noon with Catie + Kevin in their first performance in Imperial Beach since this summer when their great acoustic concert was halted right after it started at the Farmer's Market due to noise complaints. Great to have them with us and welcome them back to IB! We absolutely guarantee a full performance set this time. Check them out at lionbold.com.
At 1:30, Velvet Cafe performs a set of blues and rock standards that is always inspired and fun! They played last year and it's great to have them back. All time favorite.
At 3:00, we welcome Imperial Beach's own Coral Bells Band to the stage. Their high energy acoustic Americana set list never fails to wow the crowd. Wonderful to have this great band back with us this year. Coralbellsband.com
There may even be a special encore performance to include some IB Veterans, along with actual legitimate musicians, so look for that.
The FRA, VFW and American Legion are joining together in providing the "cook-out" for the event. Hamburgers, hot dogs, etc. Donations graciously accepted.
The Kids Zone will include a bounce house and kids games will be provided by the Boys and Girls Club.
Bull Pen Tavern is providing the beer garden. Special thanks to Evan Penhasi and his great crew for that.
Community exhibitions will include the IB Women's Club, IB Historical Society, South Bay Urgent Care (flu shots available on site!) and many others.
Please join us as we recognize and celebrate the important contributions of our IB military community. It will be a fun afternoon for the entire family!

Company Cars Still a Big Draw, Despite Lack of Driver Understanding of BiK Tax – OSV Reveal
55% of new cars registered in the UK are Fleet Cars
Half of interviewed employees would consider an otherwise unappealing job if it had the right company car
51% of company car drivers don't understand Benefit in Kind (BiK) tax
When looking to find fresh talent, it seems that company cars are still the best bet for businesses, according to new research by OSV. The data shows that 49% of interviewees would even consider accepting a job that didn't otherwise appeal, if a car that they couldn't afford privately came as part of the package. In spite of this, more than half (51%) of those interviewed admitted that they still didn't understand the Benefit in Kind (BiK) tax regulations in relation to company car use, which came into force more than a year ago (April 2017).
In fact, the research, which took in the views of company car users, shows that 53% of them still believe that company car tax is based purely on the cost of the new car. In reality, a full range of other factors apply, including the vehicle's fuel type. 30% of respondents had no idea whether the choice of electric, diesel, petrol or hybrid vehicles would impact upon their BiK rate, when a 4% surcharge applies to diesel cars and a much lower rate can be gained by low-emission cars, such as those fuelled by electric.
Another BiK factor that continues to cause driver confusion is usage – more than half (54%) of drivers were not aware that part-time use could lower their BiK rate. A further 29% said that they couldn't explain how company cars impact upon their taxes at all and just accepted what came out of their pay packet.
Regardless of all this confusion in relation to the implication of company car use, more than a quarter (27%) of drivers have declined a job offer where there was no company car included, showing just what a powerful tool cars can be for securing the right talent for a business.
OSV joint company director, Andrew Kirkley comments: 'Company cars have always been one of the top employee perks and it's interesting to see how businesses can use that to secure the best talent. However, it is a bit of a worry that there's such confusion over what company car use can mean for employees.
'The BiK regulations aren't the easiest to understand, but it's really important that drivers try to get their heads around the facts if they wish to avoid paying more than they need to. 55% of new cars registered in the UK are fleet cars, and businesses will often give employees a choice of motors, but that decision could have really big implications for driver's wallets. By choosing a diesel over a hybrid, for example, they could be significantly out of pocket in the long run. Remembering to declare part-time use could also affect a driver's outgoings.
'Having a company car can really make financial sense, but you have to make sure that you get the best deal for you, and understanding BiK is integral to that.'
