NEXT JANUARY FRANCIS DUNNERY WILL BE RETURNING TO THE UK FOR A SHORT SERIES OF DATES – AT EACH OF WHICH HIS NEW BAND WILL PERFORM THE IT BITES ALBUM ONCE AROUND THE WORLD, IN FULL.
Upon its original 1988 release, the band's second album began its thirty year journey as a cult classic… Commercially, in its day it failed to 'hit home' – having managed to confound critics and wider public alike, who'd invested in the misdirection of Virgin's marketing of the band, and written them off as mere pop cannon-fodder. The album was progressive, detailed and intricate – hardly surprising to those who had been paying more than cursory attention, or had seen the band's live shows. On it Dunnery and his bandmates managed to scratch away the pop sheen to reveal a purer form and, three decades on, it stands as testament to a hugely imaginative and fully committed group of musicians. In this new interview with The Mouth Magazine Dunnery speaks from his home in America, discussing the original version of Once Around The World, and explaining why he is revisiting it…

Manatees are now classified as "threatened," which means they are no longer thought to be in imminent danger of extinction.
FLORIDA – After decades of efforts to restore the population of manatees in the Caribbean and Florida, US officials have reported success, declaring that the lumbering sea cows are no longer an endangered species.
The bulky sea cows are now classified as "threatened," which means that they are protected under the Endangered Species Act but are no longer thought to be in imminent danger of extinction.
The decision applies to the Antillean manatee, found in the Greater and Lesser Antilles, Puerto Rico, Mexico, Central America, and northern South America.
It also applies to West Indian manatees, which includes the Florida manatee subspecies, found in the south-eastern United States.
According to the US Fish and Wildlife Service's acting director Jim Kurth: "While there is still more work to be done to fully recover manatee populations, particularly in the Caribbean, manatee numbers are increasing and we are actively working with partners to address threats.
Last year, when the proposed change in status for manatees was announced, some experts warned that the long-protected sea cows were still vulnerable to a variety of issues including climate change, pollution, and loss of habitat.
The Fish and Wildlife Service statement nevertheless emphasized that the decision "will not diminish any existing federal protections that will continue to play a vital role in the recovery of the species.
"The manatee will also continue to be protected under the Marine Mammal Protection Act," it added.
Manatees were among the first creatures listed on the Endangered Species Protection Act of 1966, along with American alligators, red wolves, grizzly bears and whooping cranes.


Buchan, Alexander Comyn, earl of [S] (d. before 14 March 1290). Earl from 1244, and one of the six guardians of the realm from 1286 till his death. In youth, he was involved in many of the turbulent acts of his family, including the ravaging of the lands of the Bissets in 1242, and the violent seizure of the young Alexander III in 1257. During the minority of Alexander III he and his relatives repeatedly clashed with the supporters of Alan Durward in their efforts to control the council, but a compromise was reached in 1258; and thereafter Alexander appears more as a loyal and effective agent of the king. In 1264 he led the punishment of those in the Isles and Caithness who had supported the king of Norway in his campaign of 1263; and became constable of Scotland by 1275. He died just before the crisis of 1290. From being a disturber of order in his youth, he had become a respected elder statesman.

These 5 Mascaras can add VOLUMES to your look.
Every woman loves mascara! Even if you don't have anything else on your eyes, mascara does the trick and opens them up to give a glamorous finish. But with so many of them on the market, how do you know which one is right for you? There are mascaras for separation and for length, for curl and for definition. There are curved wands and straight wands, waterproof formulas and lash-coating formulas, what's a girl to do??? So we researched, asked around, (women is a good place to start), and also tried them out to see which 5 make it to the top of the list and why. Here is our list of top 5, so go ahead and find out which one(s) are for you!
When you want to skip wearing false lashes because the mascara does the trick for you.
The #1-selling prestige mascara in America and certainly across Sephora worldwide, this formula thickens, lengthens, and curls after just one coat for the most luscious, dramatic, and volumized lashes possible.
For lashes on the thinner side.
This mascara delivers instant lash drama in a single coat without any clumping or flaking throughout the day. The curvy wand lifts while the brush coats each lash to give the illusion of longer, thicker eye lashes.
The affordable L'Oreal Paris Voluminous Mascara in Carbon Black is the perfect shade of black, and it really lifts and separates each lash.
Kim Kardashian and her makeup artist Mario Dedivanovic swear by this mascara. If it's good for them, it's good for us!
If you have sensitive eyes, then this one is for you.
This formula does not irritate eyes and gives long, feathery yet natural-looking lashes. No smudging or clumping which is a must. Easy to remove. Overall, a great product!
It's smudge-proof, lengthens and adds volume in three strokes or less.
Another best seller! The curvy brush places the most volume at the hard-to-reach centre lash line, and the defining tip styles lashes for major drama.
Now that you know which mascaras are highly recommended, which one will you get? Make a choice, bat those lashes and send us your reviews.


One of the most entertaining parts of the Wreck `Em drift day at Meihan Sports Land was of course the men in the two S15s, who of course were Kuroi-san from M-Bros and Nakamura-san from Team Burst & DMAX.
Consistency is an understatement. The level of proximity these guys maintained lap after lap in their 400+PS cars was absolutely mindblowing, there is no other way to put it. Check out Nakamura-sans wing gliding along the top of the wall.


A lot has happened regarding my bronchiectasis recently, so I need to write about it here to learn more about the medication I'm on and what it might be doing to me.
I posted on this a couple of weeks ago, and that was an update on my first important post on the subject. But last time I wrote about an 'acute exacerbation', as the literature has it, of my condition, and what I believed was its cause. As it turned out, I was completely wrong. My doctor thought it might be viral, while I was privately convinced it wasn't. I was given a doctor's certificate and told to take a couple of days off, because I could benefit from the rest and because I might be infectious. I reluctantly did so, but was back at work the next day when I noticed a missed private call on my phone. It took me another day to respond, and it turned out to be my doctor telling me that my sputum tested positively for two viruses, influenza A and a human rhinovirus. Oh dear. I had to take more time off work, and my doctor told me not to worry about the antibiotics (it was a small course and I'd finished them anyway) and gave me a puffer with 60 doses of Alvesco®, which is ciclesonide, a synthetic corticosteroid which 'prevents the release of substances in the body that cause inflammation', according to this website. This was on top of the ingestible steroids, the subject of my previous post, though I didn't go into detail about those pills, which I'll rectify shortly. He also gave me a nasal spray for my rhinovirus, and arranged for me to have a consultation with a professor of Chesty Things at the RAH Chest Clinic.
So I'd like to look more carefully now at the medication I've been prescribed, apart from the antibiotics.
Firstly, Panafcortelone®, 30 white tablets each containing 25mg of prednisolone, an anti-inflammatory steroid much like ciclesonide. The worry about steroids is that they can interact with other medications to our detriment. They can also weaken our immune systems under some circumstances. I must say, though, that I've never yet had an adverse reaction to any medication I've taken. There's quite a list of ailments that can be adversely affected by steroid use, no matter whether it's prednisolone, ciclesonide or any other steroid, it seems. However, they shouldn't be confused with anabolic steroids, notoriously misused by athletes.
Avamys is used to treat symptoms of allergic rhinitis including stuffy, runny or itchy nose, sneezing, and watery, itchy or red eyes. The effects are usually felt within the first day, although some people will not feel the effects until several days after first taking it.
I took this medication regularly as prescribed for 5 or 6 days, then dropped off, as I obviously felt a lot better. It contains 30 sprays, and I wasn't told to keep taking it to the end, as far as I can recall. The leaflet says that 'once symptoms are controlled you may be able to decrease your dose to one spray in each nostril per day [down from 2]'. However it says elsewhere: 'Do not stop using Amavys or change the dose without first checking with your doctor'. So I'll try to keep taking it, though I don't feel that I need it. My symptoms have always been mild compared to the description above.
An anticholinergic agent is a substance that blocks the neurotransmitter acetylcholine in the central and the peripheral nervous system. Anticholinergics inhibit parasympathetic nerve impulses by selectively blocking the binding of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine to its receptor in nerve cells. The nerve fibers of the parasympathetic system are responsible for the involuntary movement of smooth muscles present in the gastrointestinal tract, urinary tract, lungs, etc. Anticholinergics are divided into three categories in accordance with their specific targets in the central and/or peripheral nervous system: antimuscarinic agents, ganglionic blockers, and neuromuscular blockers.
Tiotropium is described as a muscarinic receptor antagonist (MRA), which means that it blocks the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor, found in the cell membranes of some neurons and other cells. Muscarinic receptors are divided into types, and the one I'm concerned with is the M3 receptor, which plays a role in bronchoconstriction.
Theophylline is a type of medicine called a xanthine bronchodilator. It is used to open the airways.
Theophylline causes the muscles surrounding the airways to relax by a mechanism that is not fully understood. This allows the airways in the lungs to open.
In conditions where the airways tighten, such as asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD, eg emphysema and chronic bronchitis), it is difficult for air to get in and out of the lungs. By opening the airways, theophylline makes it easier to breathe.
So all these medications are to help me breathe easier, but of course I'm hoping to be cured, and the professor, a lively and interesting gentleman, informed me that my lung function test, like the previous one earlier this year, came up very positively. That's to say, my lung functionality is above average even for a normal person, so I'm really not having any difficulty breathing at all, I think… In fact, the professor mentioned a lung capacity of 106%, which doesn't make much sense to me, and I forgot to ask for clarification (I've never given a student more than 100% for any test I've given them).
In any case I'm to go back to him around April for another consultation, by which time all these medicaments will be consumed. I think the hope is that some of the blocked areas as revealed on my CT scan will be a little less blocked. So maybe there'll be another CT scan in the pipeline. The professor took me on a tour of my lungs via the previous scan, pointing out that because the whole of the right lung is affected by little blockages all through it, no operation would be possible, as might be the case if it was one localised very badly blocked region. presumably he was talking about an operation to remove a section of the lung. The left lung is not affected at all, which is apparently quite unusual.
Anyway, I'm always the optimist, and I'm hoping that maybe I can yet be cleared of all this gunk, and so cured.
Thanks Akshay for your interesting comments – I'll respond a little more fully soon.
I have recently been diagnosed with bronchiectasis. We are currently looking into Ayurvedic therapies.
I don't have any previous history of smoking, TB or pneumonia. I have no other medical conditions besides the bronchiectasis.
I have had cough for a very long time, however doctors were unable to determine the cause for this.
Starting from the end of 2014, I started expelling phlegm. Then in May 2015, I started coughing blood. This continued for a week.
When I went to see the doctor, he was prescribed a 10-day antibiotic course and referred to a pulmonologist. The pulmonologist performed a bronchoscopy and found E. Coli cultures, while also diagnosing me with bronchiectasis. The pulmonologist started another round of antibiotics for 5 weeks (the course ended in the third week of July).
After this course, the blood in phlegm disappeared but the coughing and expelling of phlegm continued.
However, starting in the last week of September, I again started expelling phlegm covered with blood. We saw the pulmonologist during the first week of October, and he began a 21-day anti-fungal regime, which I currently taking. Again blood in phlegm started from Oct. 10th and pulmonologist has put me on two anti-bio. I am also on two puffers which I will have to take regularly. I am terrified of this recurring infection.
I too am an Indian and looking for Ayurvedic treatment but as you said "Ayurveda has become commercialized and everyone claims having medicines for everything." It is hard to find right one.


You've probably read somewhere (maybe even from one of our articles) about how Inbound, for a HealthTech company like yours, is a long-term healthcare B2B marketing strategy with a high ROI. Then you should have a general idea of how much it can cost.
But how much of your budget should you allot for your HealthTech company's Inbound Marketing? Your business has goals and needs that differ from others in your industry. Therefore, determining the right amount of Inbound budget requires some self-reflection.
We have some pointers that will empower you to set the wheels of Inbound Marketing budgeting in motion–so grab your pen or pencil and get ready take some notes.
If you're all set, let's get started!
To keep everything simple, you can group your budget into 3 major categories: Creating Content, Spending on Software, and Testing and Optimization.
Creating Content: If you thought having a writer who can produce your blog posts was enough for your company's web content, that's not true! In reality, you need more than just a person who can write to have good content. Your team should not only include a skilled writer but also a crafty Content Strategist, Designer, and Developer. With strategic planning, designing, developing, and producing, your content will be a reputable source for your website visitors in no time. In terms of your marketing budget, this category should take up a large portion of it.
Spending on Software: Managing an Inbound campaign includes tasks such as lead scoring and nurturing, posting regularly on social media, automating emails, and more. These tasks can get pretty burdensome without a software or an online platform that helps you carry them out. Fortunately for you, there are powerful platforms like HubSpot that helps you manage your healthcare B2B marketing campaign, focusing mostly on Inbound. The pricing structure for such software or online platform typically comes in tiers, with the basic packages starting around $200 /month. In comparison to creating content, spendings on management software will take up a smaller part of your budget.
Testing and Optimization: It's after you create your content and finish setting up your healthcare B2B marketing management software that analytics kicks in. This is where you start running to your home base. Along with that infamous SEO, there's multivariate testing, conversion rate optimization, and every other "zation" words that you would find in a dictionary. We recommend that you hire a Wiz to handle this workspace since it could end up being quite a headache. A good portion of the budget from this category will overlap with that of Spending on Software.
You have two choices: building an Inbound team internally or partnering with an outside growth-consulting agency. Your decision on which one to try out should be based on the skillset and resources of your marketing department. In terms of price, it is easy to think that creating a team within the company would be more affordable–but that isn't always the case. According to an article on HubSpot, even the most basic Inbound Marketing team can cost over $120,000 in salary alone.
People often say that a business should allocate 4-8% of its annual revenue to marketing. If you want a successful campaign, it would be best if you set aside at least a quarter of your total marketing budget for Inbound.
You can carry out some simple maths to figure out how much money you can set aside for Inbound marketing. For instance, if your Healthcare company's gross revenue is $2 million, you'd expect to invest about $40,000 into Inbound. If you belong to a business that generates $60 million, your budget for Inbound would come to about $1.2 million.
Inbound is truly a worthwhile investment if you take into account the ROI it can generate for your company. According to a report from Social Media B2B.com, businesses that regularly put up blog posts and practice good Inbound produce 67% more leads than companies that don't. Though Inbound isn't the only asset that can scale a company, it plays an important role in growing any type of business.
That's it! Now you're ready to start drafting an Inbound Marketing budget for your HealthTech company! Yes, there's still a lot of research you must carry out, but you'll certainly get through it. We promise.
A strategy well thought-out will be the key to the success of your Inbound campaign. Whether you build your own team of Inbound experts or partner with an agency that can help you, we wish you the best of luck. Happy Inbounding!

This is a summary of how I do my antenna modeling and this post includes an example of a 20m vertical with a rigid counterpoise.
1. Install the modeling tool 4NEC2 which is available at http://home.ict.nl/~arivoors/ . I run XP and Vista and have no problems with the program. I hope you do not either.
2. I have posted an example file at my documents at the following link. Go to the link and download the model file and save it to your pc where you can find it later. Save it as a plain text file.
Because, when this antenna resonates is close to 25ohms, this implies that you have a 2:1 balun like the budipole TRSB and it is set to 2:1.
4. Lets run it. Select Calculate->Nec Output data then select a frequency sweep from 13 to 15MHz.
Geometry shows a vertical with a loading coil set mid way.
Sweep shows resonance at 14.05MHz, which is very nice for PSK.
The antenna pattern shows a modest directional pattern, with a lower takeoff angle than can be obtained with a dipole at any reasonable height.
NDipoleArmsR=3 Configuration - Number of Dipole arms on the Red side of the dipole, zero to as many as you want. These things (link), In general you want to get the coil away from the versatee. I think this leads to a better pattern but I cant prove it.
Indicate the type of whips you are using, I use a long whip for the vertical, more is better. and a short or normal whip for the counterpoise, the long one places a lot of torque on the versatee.
These are angles in degrees, 0 is horizontal, 90 is straight up, so you can see the red (R) arm is up, and the black (B) is horizontal. You can specify what ever angles you want. 0 & 0 makes a horizontal dipole!
OK, these numbers are solved for by the program once you decide what resonant frequency you want. Rounded to the integer, they indicate where to tap the coil. I can not promise the solved solution will be bang on but this is a starting point.
This specifies the number of inches each whip is pushed in by. Usually I set 0, but in the budipole examples some times the documents specify a few inches here and there.
These specify the number of extended whip segments.
The items below are fixed and relate to the geometry of the system components.
K=0 Fixed = controls geometry at feed, usually set to 0, binary input select 0 or 1 only.
OK this parameter is rather nutty, but it controls the geometry details at the versatee, I'm not sure how to explain it, 0 is the right value.
These are the calculated parameters of the model based on your inputs and the fixed values above.
So, you should be able to adjust the number of accessory arms, the whip types, the angles of the arms etc.
The trick is getting it to solve for the tap positions. You do this with the following solver in 4NEC2.
Above is the solution for 14MHz resonance. How about 7.07MHz?
The model predicts red Coil 42 from the whip end, i.e. the entire coil, and the black 31.6 turns from the whip.
I'll have to give this a try outside and see how close it is to reality I expect some adjustmnts to the model will be needed. Only through doing enough if these I'm learning through trial and error how the model needs to be set for things like the wire diameter whcich has a profound effect on the predictions.

10-11 March, Moscow
The first thing we noticed in Moscow was the milder weather – it couldn't have been less than zero as we pulled into the railway station and located the driver who was waiting to pick us up. It took a while to locate our hotel, which had a particularly unassuming exterior, the entrance to which looked like nothing more than the back alley of a run-down apartment block. Walking up the four flights of stairs, we were both curious as to what we'd gotten ourselves into until we opened the door to the small, boutique hotel that was simple but …
8-9 March, Kazan and Train 1 to Moscow
We had chosen to stop over in Kazan to break up the long journey and to see the world-heritage listed Kremlin. At the end of our three-night train trip, we were glad to have made this choice, as another 12 hours on the train to Moscow probably would have been too much for us to endure.
2-3 March, Train 263 and Irkutsk
Train 263 to Irkutsk was very different to our previous train but just as comfortable. This time we had a four-berth cabin to ourselves, but no private bathroom. On the train we had our first encounter with the Russian language but were not yet prepared with any phrases to talk to the provodnitsa. It took a while for everyone to get themselves and their luggage on the train. Some passengers were carrying not only their bags but also boxes of other things that they struggled to fit into the small luggage compartments. Once everyone had finally boarded we were on …
28 February – 1 March, Ulaanbaatar
As expected, the first thing that hit us as we stepped off the train was the temperature: -16°C. Wearing a jacket, thermals, thick pants, a woolen jumper, a scarf and a beanie, I was almost over-prepared and quickly realised that it wasn't the cold itself that would get to me but the sweat from overheating, which rapidly turned cold. Despite the temperature, the sun was shining, the sky was blue and there was no breeze whatsoever so it wasn't as unpleasant as we were expecting and was instantly refreshing after being in a stuffy train carriage.
26-27 February, Train K23 Beijing to Ulaanbaatar
We woke at 5.30am and peered outside at the snow-covered ground, on Beijing's second day of snow for the winter. Down at the hotel lobby, with no taxis in sight, we tried to explain that we had booked a taxi the night before however our plea for assistance was met with deaf ears as we were told "it's too early for taxis" and "that's your problem". Although we had left plenty of time to get to the station we both started to panic a little after waiting around for 15 minutes. The porter went out onto the road in the …

There are several individuals that have been with each other for a long time and approach to stay that way indefinitely.

Q: Why is System.Web.Routing added in "compilation" section in default MVC3 project web.config? When I create a new project using "ASP.NET MVC3 Web Application" template in Visual Studio 2010 I get a project with web.config that among other stuff has this in <system.web><compilation><assemblies>
<add assembly="System.Web.Routing, Version=4.0.0.0,
      Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />

Now this section controls the list of assemblies that are referenced during ASP.NET precompilation - the process that turns .aspx, .ascx and .cshtml files into .NET assemblies.
Those files are used for "views" and typically contain code for displaying web page elements. I've carefully looked through the contents of System.Web.Routing namespace and I can't find anything there that would be useful in a "view".
What's the purpose of referencing System.Web.Routing in <compilation> section of web.config?

Emed > News > Blackmores Donates Research Funds to Sydney University
Blackmores Donates Research Funds to Sydney University
Blackmores, one of Australias most recognisable vitamin brands, has donated $1.3 million to the University of Sydney to fund research into the effectiveness of natural treatments such as acupuncture, herbs and meditation.
To be known as the Maurice Blackmore Chair in Integrative Medicine, the research is expected to run for five years with the aim to educate student doctors about natural medicines and how they interact with conventional treatments.
While not a lot of money initially, this can be viewed as a win for medicine (both orthodox and natural) and health care in this country.
Not only does this promote understanding between the two forms of medicine, it goes part of the way in reducing potential interactions between pharmaceuticals, herbs, vitamins and minerals.
What is clear is that the use of natural medicines is on the rise in Australia, with two thirds of us utilising some form of natural medicine per year. Additionally Australians spend more than $3.5 billion each year on natural medicines and related therapies. The natural medicine industry is worth $3.5 billion and is expected to grow to $4.6 billion in 2017-18.
The dean of the Sydney University Medical School, Bruce Robinson, said doctors could no longer dismiss complementary medicines and noted:
"I think it's important we at least have our graduates leave with a basic understanding of what some of these alternative preparations might do and how they might interact with the other medicines they prescribe."
Marcus Blackmore stated that "The beautiful thing is the university and Blackmores Institute have a shared vision about healthier, happier Australians. It's a very patient-oriented approach to what we're trying to do."
It was the University of Sydney who approached Blackmores (not the other way around) about the partnership and said the donation came without any strings attached.
"We are the ones who make all the decisions about who's appointed to the chair and what research we undertake," Professor Robinson said. The agreement with Blackmores is one of being at an "arm's length".
They will instead collaborate with international partners in Canada, China and Asia and proposed schools in the USA and UK".
The research will not test Blackmores products with the aim of proving the products efficacy and Blackmores itself has no say into how the studies are conducted.
By money being invested into research, particularly into the orthodox side of medicine, a more complete understanding between the two forms of health care can be established. This allows a comprehensive treatment plan to be established allowing an optimal health outcome for the individual.
After all, should this not be the primary aim of our health care system – a healthy population?

I'm a British writer of supernatural horror and thrillers. As of 2017 I have been writing professionally for twenty one years. Along the way, I've been fortunate to see three of my novels accumulate five literary awards between them, and against all of the odds, one of my novels will soon be a major motion picture too. The Guardian newspaper once said that I "excel at making nightmares real", so if you like stories of psychological, occult, and folk horror, my books may ring your horror bells. You can try a free book of mine at Amazon and also download a free full length book at my website: www.adamlgnevill.com.
When not writing I'm often walking beside the sea where I live in Devon, England. Occasionally, I swim in it too. I seem to spend half of my life reading, and I love films too.

Get rid of that dull orange DRL look and upgrade to these pure white LED DRL bulbs. Sold as a pair (left/right). These bulbs make a huge visual appearance change for such a simple product.
Install is simple, no cutting or splicing wires needed. Just turn your wheels in to give yourself room. Remove the clips and pull back the wheel guard. Locate the stock bulb and twist to unlock and remove it. Disconnect the adapter from the bulb and plug into the new bulb. Turn on the car to test if bulb is working, if not remove bulb and rotate 180 deg to change the polarity. Once confirmed just reverse the process and your done. These bulbs can be a very tight fit due to the O-ring size. In some cases removing the O-ring on the bulb socket can help installation.


Canada Goose coats saw a big jump in sales in 2013. It happened after American model Kate Upton wore one of the company's coats over her swimsuit in a photo that appeared in the U.S. magazine Sports Illustrated.
Over the years, more famous people and their fans have also chose to wear the fur-lined coats. Canada Goose coats can now sell for up to $1,000.

Pelicans Power Rankings: Week 3
By nikkoewan@nicobaguio Nov 19, 2013, 11:26am CST
Share All sharing options for: Pelicans Power Rankings: Week 3
1. SBNation by Jason Patt - 15 (Last Week: 18)
Ryan Anderson returned the lineup after missing the first couple of weeks with a broken toe, and the sharpshooting big man made his presence felt in a beat down of the Philadelphia 76ers. In just 27 minutes, Anderson tallied 26 points while knocking down 6-of-10 from beyond the arc.
2. NBA.com by John Schuhmann - 16 (Last Week: 19)
The loss of Greg Stiemsma (out 6-8 weeks with a sprained MCL) will make a bad defense worse, but the addition of Ryan Anderson (who scored 26 points in his debut on Saturday) will make a good offense even better. The Pelicans' ultimate offensive lineup of Jrue Holiday, Eric Gordon, Tyreke Evans, Anderson and Anthony Davis scored 20 points in less than six minutes against the Sixers.
3. ESPN by Marc Stein - 15 (Last Week: 18)
For all the justifiable raves about the big steps Anthony Davis has taken, there's really only one guy on the Pels' roster who can loosen up the D and make The Unibrow's life easier. You saw it Saturday night when Ryan Anderson made his floor-spacing return from a broken toe with six quick 3s against Philly.
4. Yahoo! Sports by Marc J. Spears - 18 (Last Week: 18)
Ryan Anderson scored 26 points, including six 3-pointers, in his return from a broken toe last Saturday against the Sixers.
5. CBS Sports by Matt Moore - 17 (Last Week: 17)
You guys gotta stop. Watching you swing between good and terrible is making me nauseous.
6. USA Today - 18 (Last Week: 13)
Ryan Anderson came back and immediately scored 26 points. They will be able to use him.
7. Bleacher Report by Tyler Conway - 14 (Last Week: 17)
Ryan Anderson's return makes the Pelicans' offense very intriguing. He nailed six three-pointers and produced 26 points in his season debut, guiding his squad to a 135-98 rout over the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday.
8. Hoops World by Moke Hamilton - 21 (Last Week: 19)
We'd like to see more of the pace, space and speed the Pelicans exhibited in Saturday night's 135-98 mauling of the Sixers, but such is life with a young team. Anthony Davis (20.9 points, 11 rebounds, 3.6 blocks and 2.1 steals) needs consistent help and Jrue Holiday's turnovers are still extremely high.
9. Sports Illustrated by Matt Dollinger -20 (Last Week: 19)
In his first game of the season, Ryan Anderson scored 26 points in 26 minutes off the bench to spark New Orleans' blowout of the 76ers. Another key reserve, Tyreke Evans, has produced back-to-back solid games after a rocky start with his new team.
10. ProBasketballTalk by Kurt Helin - 17 (Last Week: 15)
Ryan Anderson returned from his toe injury Saturday night and put up a quick 26 points. It's easy to see why Rockets fans covet him but this outing showed why New Orleans needs him to space the floor, too.
11. ESPN Hollinger Power Rankings - 15th (Rating: 99.881)
I decided to add the Hollinger Power Rankings so we'll have a purely numerical power rankings. I've always been fond of the HPR because of the uniqueness of the methodology.
It's another confusing week again with some writers getting excited about the arrival of Ryan Anderson (with increase as high as 3) or they're just looking at the results of this week -- which were two horrible losses and one impressive victory. With Ryan Anderson coming back in the fold and two winnable games in the coming week, there's a chance that we can see ALL of this rankings finally agreeing on something. Fingers crossed that Anderson doesn't have any setback in his rehab.

We investigate the environmental impacts of Russia's World Trade Organization (WTO) accession with a computable general equilibrium model incorporating imperfectly competitive firms, foreign direct investment and endogenous productivity. The WTO accession affects CO2 emissions through technique (−), composition (+) and scale (+) effects. We consider three complementary policies to limit CO2 emissions: cap and trade, emission intensity standards, and energy efficiency standards. With imperfectly competitive firms, gains from WTO accession result with any of these policies.
Russia's natural endowments have, based on production and export of raw materials, been a key driver of economic growth in the current millennium. As a legacy of the Soviet period, many industries are characterized by high resource usage, very high-energy intensities, and obsolete production processes.
The quality of environmental conditions in Russia is inadequate in about 15 percent of the country's territory: according to Rosgidromet (2013), in 138 cities that accounts for 57 percent of the urban population, the level of air pollution is characterized as high or very high. The main sources of air pollution are particulate matter, sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxide linked primarily to fossil fuel combustion (International Finance Corporation (IFC), 2008).
Russia is currently the world's fourth largest emitter of greenhouse gas emissions. While Russia ratified the Kyoto Protocol in 2004, it has so far refused to commit to the internationally binding post-Kyoto commitments. Nonetheless, Russia is still pursuing a national greenhouse gas emission reduction program of between 15 percent and 25 percent from 1990 emission levels by 2020, as well as a broader set of policies for sustainable development (Ministry of Natural Resources and the Environment of the Russian Federation, 2014). Along with the emission-reduction targets, the Russian government emphasizes the need for increased investments in energy and resource efficiency (Ministry of Energy of the Russian Federation, 2010), cleaner technologies, recycling and reuse of wastes.
Against this background, Russia's WTO accession has engendered concerns about potentially negative environmental impacts. The WTO accession is a comprehensive process that involves multiple reforms including maximum tariff commitments on goods, non-protective application of standards and norms, market access for foreign suppliers of services, rules on trade-related investment measures, and limitations on trade-distorting agricultural subsidies. Such comprehensive changes in policies and institutions are likely to lead to considerable changes in the structure of the economy. The structural changes can have complex impacts on the environment that are very difficult to predict based on theory. Using the terminology of Grossman and Krueger (1993), the potential environmental impacts can be decomposed into: (i) a composition effect, namely inter-industry impacts along the lines of comparative advantage (toward or away from dirty industries) and competitive pressures that could shift output toward more efficient firms and lower input use; (ii) a scale effect due to output changes induced by trade liberalization; and (iii) a technique effect, due to the use of more efficient imported technology (which could reduce input use and emissions), changes in process efficiency, and changes in fuel mix.
Given that the Russian Federation's Program on Environmental Protection 2012–2020 emphasizes the need for environmental policies to accompany economic growth to achieve sustainable development, policy makers in Russia are concerned about the environmental effects of the WTO accession, and may wish to implement regulation in order to mitigate potentially negative implications for the environment.
In our forthcoming paper, Böhringer et al (2015) we address the question of the economic and environmental impact of Russia's WTO accession. We extend a 10-region, 30-sector computable general equilibrium model of the Russian economy (Rutherford and Tarr, 2010) by incorporating emissions data, and by allowing inter-fuel substitution in production and consumption activities. There is substantial and growing econometric evidence that greater access to business services increases productivity in the firms that use these business services. Our model, by allowing for imperfectly competitive goods and business service sectors (i.e. an IRTS model), captures these endogenous productivity effects. We show that this is crucial for the policy conclusions.
Acknowledging the endogeneity of environmental policy with trade liberalization, and the stated objective of the Russian government to reduce CO2 emissions, our analysis goes beyond an isolated impact assessment of Russia's WTO accession. More specifically, we combine the policy changes of the WTO accession with three alternate environmental regulations designed to reduce CO2 emissions: market-based cap and trade, emission intensity standards, and energy efficiency standards.
A simulation of the cap and trade regulation imposes a 20 percent reduction of CO2 emissions in Russia through a system of tradable emission rights (or equivalently a nation-wide CO2 tax). In the case of uniform emission intensity standards, we require that all sectors and regions, except for fossil fuels sectors (coal, crude oil, and gas), uniformly reduce the intensity of their CO2 emissions per unit of the value of output produced. We solve for the uniform reduction in the intensity of CO2 emissions so that a twenty percent reduction in CO2 emissions is achieved. In the case of uniform energy efficiency standards, we require that, in all regions, all sectors except electricity and fossil fuel production equiproportionaly reduce their use of gas, refined oil and electricity. We solve for the uniform reduction in the use of energy inputs such that a twenty percent reduction in CO2 emissions is achieved.
Using our IRTS model, we find that WTO accession alone will increase environmental pollution in Russia (a 4.3 percent increase of the CO2 emissions, see Table 1). We estimate an expansion of dirty industries in Russia: ferrous and non-ferrous metallurgy, chemical industry, coal extraction, oil refinery, and electricity production (for more industry-level details see Böhringer et al., 2015). Our decomposition shows that the negative effect on the environment of the composition effect (especially the relative expansion of dirty industries; accounts for 1 percent increase) and the expansion of output (scale effect; accounts for 4.9 percent increase) dominate the positive impact on the environment of the technique effect (which includes importing new, more efficient technologies, processes and services; accounts for a 1.6 percent decrease in the CO2 emissions).
Source: Böhringer et al. (2015).
In Table 1, we show the economy-wide estimated gains for all seven scenarios. In particular, our cap and trade policy costs 1.4 of consumption since without additional environmental regulation, the estimated overall Russian economy average welfare gain from the WTO accession is 8.6 percent of consumption. Rutherford and Tarr (2008) reveal that the source of the largest gains is the reduction in barriers against foreign investors in services – accounting for about 70 percent of the total gains. In our model, new service providers increase the productivity of sectors that use services. Russian commitments to reduce barriers against multinational service providers could allow multinationals to obtain greater after-tax returns on their investments in Russia and thus initially create positive profits. This could induce the multinationals to increase foreign direct investment to supply the Russian market until the additional entry restores a zero-profit equilibrium. Although we find that there is some decline in the number of purely Russian owned businesses serving the service markets, on balance there will be additional service providers. Russian users of business services will then have an improved access to the providers of services in areas like telecommunication, banking, insurance, transportation and other business services.
In our paper, we consider environmental impacts of Russia's WTO accession with a 10-region, 30-sector computable general equilibrium model of the Russian economy incorporating imperfectly competitive firms, foreign direct investment and endogenous productivity. We find that cap and trade is the most efficient policy for CO2 emissions. Emission intensity standards are less efficient than cap and trade in part since there is no incentive to switch sectors. The switch to clean industries (the composition effect) is much weaker with imposition of emission intensity standards than under emissions trading, since all sectors must reduce the intensity of their emissions uniformly, even if they start with fewer emissions per ruble of output. Then switching production to clean industries does not help to achieve the regulatory target. We find that the costs of emission intensity standards are drastically lower than the costs of energy efficiency standards, judged on the basis of carbon emissions alone.
Our simulations could help authorities to design policies that minimize the economy-wide costs of achieving a given level of emission reduction, and thereby address political resistance to environmental regulation.

Anyone know why James Heath does not appear on the Mizuno Staff ? Rediculously good golfer , exceptional Amateur career, very sound swing indeed!
Thought James Heath was Titleist? I know he was injured and had some time off after Belgium knock-out tournament. Bumped into him last year and had a chat with him as he used to play some comps at my old course so recognized him and introduced myself. Really nice down to earth guy.

Q: generalized formula for automating 2D line graph view port using glOrtho Based on the dynamic data, I need to draw a 2D line graph dynamically using openGL. Since, the data varies, the final drawing of the graph also needs to be adjusted such that both X-axis's and Y-axis's max and min values should be viewed. I tried several ways using glortho, could any one suggest me the formula for this,
My x-axis max value is 10,000.0f and Y-axis max value is 64,468.0f
                 (assume x-axis n y-axis min val are around 1.0f)
glOrtho(-0.0,Winwidth,0.0,Winheight,0.0f,1.0f);

if I use above parameters I'm unable to view max and min values of the graph
glOrtho(-1.0f,maxXval,1.0,maxYval,0.0f,1.0f);

the above one works fine when max values are large,
what if the maxvalues are less then 1 for the above example, then the viewing area is being clipped because left value is 1 and similarly, bottom value is 1?

A: How about
glOrtho(minXvalue, maxXvalue, minYvalue, maxYvalue, -1, 1);

In Richmond Hill, dementia-tailored worship 'stirs the soul'
A small Toronto-area not-for-profit is partnering with an Anglican church to provide worship services tailored to people suffering from dementia.
Since December 2017, Memory Lane Home Living, an initiative formed to provide a home for a small number of women with dementia to live together, has been offering dementia-friendly services together with St. Mary's Anglican Church, Richmond Hill, Ont.
Every Friday afternoon, about a dozen people—dementia-sufferers and their caregivers—gather at the church for a hot lunch, followed by an hour or less of hymns and other music, prayers, short conversations and Bible stories. Most of the services are led by Tom McCormick, a non-denominational chaplain at a local long-term care home; the Rev. Matt McMillan, parish priest at St. Mary's, often assists and sometimes leads; and Ron Wilson, an occasional lay minister at a Presbyterian church, handles the music.
Conventional church services can be challenging to people with dementia, says Mona Lancaster, founder and director of Memory Lane Home Living. But the services at St. Mary's offer a simple format, with their easily recognizable hymns and short talks—"levels of activity that come in five-minute clusters," as McMillan puts it.
Lancaster got the idea while visiting her own mother, who was suffering from dementia while she lived in a long-term care home. A session of hymn-singing offered by the home to the residents seemed to bring about a noticeable change in their demeanour.
"That's when I noticed everybody coming alive," she says.
Lancaster was struck by the scarcity of community spiritual activities tailored to dementia-sufferers who are living at home. Last September, she approached McCormick and Wilson, who were already well-known locally for their ministry with the elderly, about giving dementia-friendly services in a church. They liked the idea, and soon thereafter Lancaster proposed the idea to St. Mary's.
McMillan says the church liked her idea of a service tailored for dementia-sufferers in the community. St. Mary's was also able to offer the lunch before the service as part of an existing outreach program that it runs with a local service agency: every Friday, people with mental illnesses learn to cook at the church and provide a free community meal.
People with dementia remain emotional beings, Lancaster says, despite the decline they're experiencing in some areas of cognition, and they are often very responsive to music. Sometimes she'll see a participant in the service seems to want to leave, and then suddenly become engaged when the singing starts.
"The mother will say to her daughter, as soon as she gets in the chapel, 'When are we going?' and then the music starts, and she stops completely and she listens to the music—she doesn't say another word, or else she'll sing the songs with us," Lancaster says. "You can see there is some therapy to it all."
The religious content of the services, Lancaster says, addresses a need of dementia-sufferers that she believes our health care system largely ignores. Recently, she says, gerontologists have begun to recognize the value of integrating spiritual practice into care for people with dementia in an approach called procedural and emotional religious activity therapy (PERAT). Studies on PERAT, she says, have shown that religious activities like singing hymns and reciting prayers can reduce behavioural problems in people with dementia, and increase their quality of life by encouraging them to be more mentally active and focused—reducing, for example, the tendency they sometimes show to aimlessly wander.
Moreover, Lancaster says, spiritual care—care that encourages people to explore subjects like the meaning of life, purpose and the transcendent—is vital to helping dementia-sufferers, as well as their caregivers and loved ones, process the suffering dealt by dementia.
"These people are going through a loss—in some ways, the onset of this disease is a palliative moment for them," she says. "They know that life is finite and…there's no supports out there" that address their spirituality.
The social element, she says, also meets a spiritual need—both for dementia-sufferers and the caregivers who come with them—because love and caring are closely bound up with spirituality and purpose.
"The idea of meeting in these little groups is to really try and create connection," she says. "God didn't mean for us to live alone. He would have stopped at Adam if he thought that was good enough."
The services often draw on prayers, hymns and memories that participants would have encountered from their early life, since these older memories often persist longest in people with dementia.
It's remarkable, McMillan says, how—even though some participants may not to communicate it in words—the services affect them.
"Memories connected to the earliest points in their spiritual journey, when touched, when scratched, when explored, bring back feelings of joy, of life, of love, of things that put a little bounce in their step," he says. "They're tapping their toes when they're in their wheelchair, or they sort of smile and sparkle at the end of the time together…It just sort of stirs the soul."
Lancaster says she's hoping to offer more services for people with dementia in the future, including another program involving music, exercise and conversation. This program, although non-religious, will also be offered in September at another Richmond Hill Anglican church, St. John the Baptist Community Church (Light on the Hill).

Lion King Character Posters Reveal Best Look At Timon, Pumbaa & More
by Taylor Charendoff
New The Lion King character posters have been released along with a new TV spot, and they reveal the best look at Timon, Pumbaa and other characters so far. The world has been patiently waiting for the premiere of Disney's latest remake of their classically animated movie, and now fans can finally see what some of their favourite characters will look like in this new era of 3D animation and CGI.
The Lion King brings the 1994 classic, from what's referred to as the Disney Renaissance, to the 21st century. The Disney Renaissance refers to the era that some fans consider to be Disney's best, spanning the ten year period from 1989-1999. Going with a more realistic approach, and in a fashion that screams modernity, Disney has opted to use photo-realistic animation to recreate the characters, so that they look as real as possible. The new film was directed by Jon Favreau, and includes an all-star cast, with Donald Glover (also known by his stage name Childish Gambino) as Simba, Beyoncé Knowles-Carter as Nala, Seth Rogen as Pumbaa, and John Oliver as Zazu, to name a few.

Fans can now get a glimpse of their anthropomorphic animal friends in a new TV spot released today by Walt Disney Studios, along with photos of the rest of the cast. The character posters show what each character looks like in their new 3D form, and how Disney's animation team was able to transform the characters into realistic looking animals, while still making them recognizable to fans of the original. Take a look at the TV spot and posters below.
Click the button below to view this gallery.
The TV spot recreates a classic scene from the 1994 original, with Rafiki (John Kani) holding a young Simba in the air, with a red mixture smeared across his forehead. As in the original, the iconic "Ah Zabenya" song can be heard as Rafiki lifts Simba into the air, showing off the newborn king to the rest of the animals of the African savanna. Mufasa's (James Earl Jones) voice can be heard giving his son important advice, which signals back to the original plot: "You must remember who you are, the one true king."
The Lion King remake hasn't even come out yet, and already some are predicting it will be Disney's biggest film of the year. While their other classic live-action remake of Aladdin has met with mixed reviews from critics and responses from fans, The Lion King is expected to do much better, especially at the box office. Criticism surrounding the film suggests that the remake doesn't exactly offer anything new, besides visually. In terms of story, the direction seems to be aiming in the way of authenticity. Disney has been surprising fans lately by weaving social commentary into some of their other remakes, so one will have to wait and see if they decide to switch things up or not.
The Lion King is one of Disney's most beloved films, with a host of fans from different age groups, so the remake will be an event kids and adults can both enjoy. With the premiere date quickly approaching, original and new fans alike will get to see the classic tale transformed worldwide. And based on how the new TV spot and character posters look, it doesn't seem likely that Disney's new The Lion King film will disappoint.

Q: How to assign value to a pandas dataframe, when subset by complex index and boolean based conditions? I would like to replace values in a pandas dataframe, with a complex subsetting pattern.
With the .loc accessor, I was only able to subset by chaining multiple conditions, because some of the conditions are index based. But it seems I can not assign values after such a chain of subsetting.
UPDATE: A further problem is caused by the duplicated indicies. I have updated the example accordingly.
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd

df = pd.DataFrame({'a': ['foo'] * 10 + ['bar'] * 10, 'b': range(20)}, index=pd.date_range('2019-01-01','2019-01-10').append(pd.date_range('2019-01-01','2019-01-10')))

df.loc[df['a'] == 'foo', 'b'].loc[pd.to_datetime(['2019-01-05','2019-01-09'])] = np.nan

df

Result:
              a     b
2019-01-01  foo     0
2019-01-02  foo     1

I have tried alternative approaches like:
df.loc[df['a'] == 'foo' and df.index.isin(['2019-01-05','2019-01-09']), 'b']

which drops:
ValueError: The truth value of a Series is ambiguous. Use a.empty, a.bool(), a.item(), a.any() or a.all().

Not even this works, as the isin returns an array without the date based indexing:
df['a'] == 'foo' and pd.Series(df.index.isin(['2019-01-05','2019-01-09']))

A: You can do with one .loc chain of loc assignment will be not safe
df.loc[df.index.isin(['2019-01-05','2019-01-09'])&df.a.eq('foo'),'b']=np.nan
