Our resident Acupuncturist Nicky Thomas has been sharing tips and information about how to stay healthy during Spring.
"when the warmth of the sun returns and life pushes forth with great vitality".
The liver will benefit from a de-congesting diet rich in green leafy vegetables. Apple cider vinegar is beneficial too because of its sour taste and nutritional benefits. In general, think green, as well as light, nutritionally-packed and easily digestible, as this will maximise your energy for growth, just like plants in spring stretching up and out up from the nourishment in their roots. Other foods that help to cleanse the liver include: garlic, apples, avocado, broccoli, lemons and limes, turmeric, cabbage and walnuts.
Other ways of easing stress or negative emotions during Spring are by gardening, as this is very grounding; taking up a creative pursuit or dancing; practising yoga, qi gong or tai chi; or learning a new skill. All of these activities help to keep our energy flowing in healthy and creative ways.
If you like more information about how acupuncture or acupressure massage might help you, please contact Nicky on 07583-291616 or see more information on her profile page.

Edinburgh Fringe Archives: 2014
I originally didn't want to return to the Kilderkin in 2014. After a tough 2013 and the struggle to get an audience due to it being a fair walk from anywhere, I was planning my next move.
While my show idea was still forming, I'd been looking at other options. This was the same year that Freestival had set itself up as a third free programme of shows in Edinburgh.
I sent them an email and asked if I could do a solo show with them, which at the time was going to be something about trivia and weird facts. I didn't hear anything back for a while and wanted to start getting things organised, so applied to the Free Fringe. And sure enough, I was offered the same time-slot at the Kilderkin.
By the time I'd accepted the offer and had come up with the concept of How To Win A Pub Quiz, I received an email from Freestival to say that my application had been denied but they would reconsider another application if I applied for a two-hander. And that was fair enough. At the time, I'd not really done enough to justify a solo show for a promotion that really needed their first fringe to be a success. I hold no grudges about it and get on well with all those involved. And everything worked out for the best.
Well, for me that is. The new promotion would only last two Fringes, before vanishing completely after 2015. Fair play to them for giving it a go though; they were like a much more organised and competent version of the Rebel Fringe.
As I've no doubt written on here before, the concept of HTWAPQ all came together pretty 'organically', so to speak. My giant squid material made me want to do a show about trivia, and a pub quiz would allow me to bring everything together quite nicely.
What helped massively when planning the show was that I knew exactly what the Kilderkin room was like and the technical capabilities.
What also helped me develop the show was living in London. I could try bits out at the numerous open mic gigs, and then also knew the circuit there well enough to book previews. I honestly don't think I would have been able to develop the show in the same way, if at all, if I'd moved to Manchester a couple of years earlier. London provided me with countless development opportunities that I didn't have to drive for two hours to try out.
After my first preview I did at the Roadhouse in Birmingham, I knew I had something on my hands. And it wasn't just my set list. Aah. I thank you.
Not all the material worked and I think I dropped a fair amount of it, but there was definitely something encouraging there.
My main goal of the 2014 Fringe was to just get an audience every day that was in double figures. I hadn't gone in the Edinburgh Fringe brochure again during this year. Although I'd actually meant to, but hadn't decided to until quite late; and if I recall correctly, the application system had changed and I didn't have time to figure it out. This meant that I had to rely on flyering and the Free Fringe booklet for audience.
I was delighted that I achieved my goal of getting at least ten people in to see every show. And at the weekends, I sometimes I even had a full room. Not only that, but having a full room made the show operated on a different level entirely. There was one Sunday when everything seemed to click into place, with the material, the quiz and the riffing off an audience all coming together so amazingly well that it gave me a buzz that lasted for a good few hours afterwards.
But it was the smaller crowds that really gave me a chance to experiment and figure out exactly how everything worked without any pressure.
For accommodation, I was staying on a new build estate about half-way down Leith Walk. The flat was really nice, with two bedrooms with two bathrooms – one was an en suite. I was sharing a flat with Deech for the third year, with Paul Dance maintaining our tradition of having a flatmate called Paul. We were going to take it in turns to spend a week on an inflatable mattress in the living room, only Paul had a back injury; so me and Deech had to split it between us.
The other memory that springs to mind for the 2014 flat, is that Paul had decided to cook an egg after getting back late one night. I was woken up the next day by someone knocking on my door and said there'd been a gas leak in the block of flats. Anyway, it turns out that Paul had left the gas on for a mere seven hours or so. I was feeling a little groggy on my way to the venue, possibly psychologically, with visions of collapsing during my show. But it turned out to be possibly the very best of the run mentioned above.
It was a great Fringe and felt like a significant step in the right direction. I even got a nice review from Copstick at the Scotsman. What did put a dampener on things was in the final HTWAPQ of the run. I'd been battling the lurgy for much of the final week. And in my final show, my brain seemed to fail me, I was a bit all over the place, and it didn't go so well. But this didn't take away from all the other positives that the 2014 run had brought.
This was also the year of the seven-hour train delay on the journey home. It still remains one of my favourite train journeys, mainly due to Twitter interactions with all the other comedians also stuck on there.
When I returned to the day job, I received some awful news. My manager told me she was leaving and that I was being promoted to her position. This would consume so much of my time and energy over the next five years. It would also signal the end of this particular care-free era of my life that I'd enjoyed so much. I would be getting more money but with it came more responsibilities that I really could have done without.

Q: EJS only showing entire mongo schema, won't display specific data from it I am trying to display some data from a mongodb database with EJS and I can only seem to get it to display the entire schema. For example:
router.get("/", function(req, res){
Prices.find({name: "prices"}, function(err, allPrices){
    if(err){
        console.log(err);
    } else {
        res.render("landing", {prices: allPrices});
    }
});
});

When I call that in the landing.ejs as <%= prices %>, it will show the entire schema, which looks like this:
"{ _id: 5a5a475cff999121ec26c1f6, btcPrice: 14237.96986743, ethPrice: 1400.34789518, ltcPrice: 248.07011243, dashPrice: 1094.17162755, name: 'prices', __v: 0 }"
Now when I try to just get a specific part such as <%= prices.btcPrice %>, it doesn't show anything. What am I doing wrong here?

A: I think you are returning an array with more than one document , in that case you can loop over your prices object with forEach loop and check price like
 <% prices.forEach(function(el,index){ %>
 <h2> <%= prices.btcPrice %> <h2>
 <% }) %>

Let's Talk Design Debt: What is it and what could it cost me?
Imagine with me for a second. You're a non-technical founder with an awesome B2B SaaS concept. You know you need to hire a developer to build your software product and you've heard no one wants to invest in your startup until you have something built, so you go straight to the developer or dev shop your friend recommended.
The developer takes your money and your requirements and gets to work. You communicate back and forth on requirements and technical constraints that you kind of understand and you've made decisions to the best of your ability based on those conversations. As far as design goes, you've sketched together a few flows and back-of-the-napkin wireframes. Your developer has taken those and interpreted them, making several design decisions when building out the product. $30,000 dollars in and 6 months later, you have a product.
You launch and get some initial interest, but not enough to really get the traction you're looking for. Your customers make some feature requests, so you drop another $50,000 over the next 6 months building out these features. The good news: You've gotten some great features out during that time and as you become more competitive in your feature offering, you're seeing more revenue coming in. You now have a decent-sized customer base.
With all these customers, there's a whole new set of issues. You're seeing loads of support tickets coming in about frustrating workflows, features not working as expected, and errors popping up that customers don't know how to interpret or resolve. Time spent dedicated to supporting customers is skyrocketing, and with it you're having to pay for additional help on customer support and dev. Ouch! You've hit the initial shock of design debt.
Wait, what? (via Giphy)
But that's just the beginning. You start working with your dev team to fix design problems where you can identify them, diverting valuable time from new features and strategic projects.
Finally, you hear about how bringing on a UX designer can help. You spend the time and money to recruit and bring the new designer up to speed. The designer audits the current platform and recommends a redesign, which could take longer than the original build. You're able to get a few new features slipped into the redesign, but the time and effort costs you a year of valuable time just reconfiguring the current foundations instead of making further progress. Meanwhile, you're reeling from excessive churn and damage to your brand's reputation in the market. Bam! You're now encountering the full cost of design debt.
That cost more than expected! (via Giphy)
The vast majority of developers I've worked with (or whose work I've inherited) are not great designers. That might sound like I'm throwing my friends in engineering under the bus (sorry, y'all), but truthfully, the very reason they're amazing developers is why they shouldn't be doing design.
Developers are highly attuned to the technology they work with – constraints, functionality, possibilities. They're superstars at translating defined requirements into working software in the most efficient way possible. Developers thrive on technical language and technical workflows, and oftentimes are too deeply familiar with the tech and the way they've built the platform to really empathize with the experience of a non-technical user.
Designers, on the other hand, are focused on representing the users' perspective. Non-technical users, by and large, don't understand the difference between a 404 error and 500 error. Users often don't see the "clearly labeled" button that developers can quickly point out because of the hundreds of hours they've spent building the corresponding workflows.
This focus on the users' experience, enhanced through conducting user research enables SaaS product designers to design data structures, workflows, navigation, layout, in-app messaging, and interactions that intuitively make sense to users. One of the common misconceptions is that UX designers are brought in to make the UI look pretty. While designers certainly take pride in aesthetic excellence and in delivering delight, it's far from the only deliverable. In essence, UX designers define the details of the requirements that a developer will build, told from a user's point of view.
Cost to change a design over time (Hint: it costs a lot more once it's built!)
UX designers are the architects and developers are the builders. Imagine jumping straight to hiring a construction crew to build your new skyscraper with no architect involved in the process until the first 15 stories have been completed. The analogy breaks down to an extent in that software is an iterative process. But iterations can be extremely expensive if the right people aren't involved at the right time.
So, what's the alternate scenario? What's the recommendation? Bring in design support early, before dev starts building. An hour of a senior designer's time is much less expensive than an hour each multiplied by the multiple developers it will take to build out the design.
There will always be some design debt that accrues in an iterative Agile SaaS environment, but working with an experienced design partner, like Trailmerge, at the outset and over the long-term can help you dramatically reduce the severity of support needs and rework at a time when you want to be focused on growth.

Description The Siberian tiger (Panthera tigris altaica), also known as the Amur tiger, is a tiger subspecies inhabiting mainly the Sikhote Alin mountain region with a small population in southwest Primorye Province in the Russian Far East. In 2005, there were 331393 adult and subadult Amur tigers in this region, with a breeding adult population of about 250 individuals. The population had been stable for more than a decade due to intensive conservation efforts, but partial surveys conducted after 2005 indicate that the Russian tiger population was declining. By 2015, the Siberian tiger population has increased to 480540 individuals in the Russian Far East, including 100 cubs.

What are we measuring? A critique of range of motion methods currently in use for Dupuytren's disease and recommendations for practice.
Pratt AL., Ball C.
BACKGROUND: Range of motion is the most frequently reported measure used in practice to evaluate outcomes. A goniometer is the most reliable tool to assess range of motion yet, the lack of consistency in reporting prevents comparison between studies. The aim of this study is to identify how range of motion is currently assessed and reported in Dupuytren's disease literature. Following analysis recommendations for practice will be made to enable consistency in future studies for comparability. This paper highlights the variation in range of motion reporting in Dupuytren's disease. METHODS: A Participants, Intervention, Comparison, Outcomes and Study design format was used for the search strategy and search terms. Surgery, needle fasciotomy or collagenase injection for primary or recurrent Dupuytren's disease in adults were included if outcomes were monitored using range of motion to record change. A literature search was performed in May 2013 using subject heading and free-text terms to also capture electronic publications ahead of print. In total 638 publications were identified and following screening 90 articles met the inclusion criteria. Data was extracted and entered onto a spreadsheet for analysis. A thematic analysis was carried out to establish any duplication, resulting in the final range of motion measures identified. RESULTS: Range of motion measurement lacked clarity, with goniometry reportedly used in only 43 of the 90 studies, 16 stated the use of a range of motion protocol. A total of 24 different descriptors were identified describing range of motion in the 90 studies. While some studies reported active range of motion, others reported passive or were unclear. Eight of the 24 categories were identified through thematic analysis as possibly describing the same measure, 'lack of joint extension' and accounted for the most frequently used. CONCLUSIONS: Published studies lacked clarity in reporting range of motion, preventing data comparison and meta-analysis. Percentage change lacks context and without access to raw data, does not allow direct comparison of baseline characteristics. A clear description of what is being measured within each study was required. It is recommended that range of motion measuring and reporting for Dupuytren's disease requires consistency to address issues that fall into 3 main categories: Definition of terms, Protocol statement, Outcome reporting.

De Joodse begraafplaats aan de Hescheweg net buiten de Nederlandse stad Oss was een van de twee Joodse begraafplaatsen in de regio, naast de Joodse begraafplaats van Geffen. De Joodse begraafplaats aan de Heescheweg is in gebruik vanaf 1888.

De stad Oss is bekend vanwege de Unox-fabriek. Hier waren de meeste Joden ook werkzaam. De Joden hebben een grote bijdrage geleverd aan de industrialisatie van de stad. Er is een synagoge aan de Smalstraat, welke werd ingewijd in 1959.

Op de begraafplaats aan de Heescheweg staan 142 grafstenen. Vandaag de dag is in Oss een gemeente van de Zionisten en van de Nederlands Israëlitische Gemeente.

In de Tweede Wereldoorlog lieten 280 Joden uit Oss het leven. Voor hen is een gedenkteken opgericht op de begraafplaats.

As with many of Shakespeare's works, the plot is universal. A warrior - Macbeth - encounters three witches who predict that one day he will be king. Unable to resist the temptation, Macbeth and his wife secretly murder the king and claim the crown. To hold onto power they will kill anyone who stands in their way, even their best friend. But their evil comes back to haunt them as ghosts and witches rise against them and a good warrior escapes their clutches to claim revenge for the slaughter of his family. The Macbeths meet a just and terrible end that is amplified by madness and despair. A new king is crowned, but will the witches return and sow further seeds of ambition and evil?

I tried to go five days without creating any waste. This is what happened.
Writer Sunny Montgomery poses with 4 pounds of garbage, which, according to a 2013 EPA report, is the amount of waste generated per person every day in America.
As an American adult, every day I generate about 4 pounds of garbage, according to a 2013 EPA report. But that report is wrong. I'm an eco-conscious gal. I recycle. I compost. I remember my canvas tote bags when I grocery shop sometimes. OK, rarely. Still, 4 pounds? That couldn't be right.
So I decided to challenge myself. I would try to go five days without generating any trash that would wind up in a landfill. An exercise in waste awareness, if you will.
These were the rules: During that time, I could not put any object into a trash can. I could not purchase or procure any object that would eventually go to the landfill. I could recycle or repurpose my waste, but only in earnest. For example, opting for a Styrofoam to-go cup, pretending I'd later craft it into a night light, did not count. And finally, I could not ask another person to toss trash for me.
I knew it would require some effort. But what I did not know was, well, a lot.
Minutes into day one, I was forced to make my first sacrifice. Bleary-eyed, I stumbled into the bathroom and reached for the cotton balls which I use with toner every morning to clean my face. Cotton, I would soon learn, takes between one and five months to decompose — though likely longer in a landfill.
Landfills are not designed to break down waste. Within the 3,091 active landfills in the U.S., trash is packed into mounds and sealed under rubber and clay and over a plastic liner, I read in Live Science's "What Happens in a Landfill." Those barriers prevent the garbage from seeping out — and oxygen and moisture, necessary for decomposition, from getting in.
Regardless, the cotton ball was trash. So instead, I splashed my face with water.
My next quandary came while preparing breakfast: fried eggs and a sliced peach. The shells and peach pit could be composted, but what about that fruit sticker? Fruit stickers, I learned, are made using paper, plastic and glue. They are not recyclable, compostable or edible, a question that a surprising number of people ask online. The best hope for a fruit sticker is to be repurposed as art, so onto my Nalgene bottle it went.
The best way to avoid them altogether? Shop at a farmers market.
The next issue arose when I noticed my stick of butter was almost gone, causing me to wonder, from what is butter wrapper even made? Spatula in one hand, smartphone in the other, again I Googled.
The answer is silicone-coated parchment paper — not recyclable. However, it can be repurposed into muffin liners, or folded, frozen and later used to grease pans. For me, a baker who rarely plans ahead, this was practical.
Coffee, I was relieved to discover, posed no problems — that morning, at least. My pot features a reusable filter, though paper coffee filters are compostable. But that cardboard cup from your local coffee shop? Most (99.75 percent, to be exact) are not recyclable due to a thin plastic lining that cannot be separated from the paper. So bring a travel mug, or commit to crafting that night light.
I was prepared to think outside the trash bin when it came to cleaning up after my dog, but I was not prepared for the labor-intensive alternative.
DoodyCalls, a company that collects dog droppings across 22 states, estimates that the 78.2 million dogs living in the U.S collectively produce more than 10 million tons of waste each year. The issue with not picking up poop, or with burying it, is that it contains bacteria and potentially parasites, which find their way into groundwater.
The EPA recommends flushing it down the commode. But composting is also an option as long as it's done in a way that destroys any potential pathogens. This requires the right blend of air, water, organic matter and microbes, a recipe that the USDA conveniently provides in its online brochure, "Composting Dog Waste."
So for five days, instead of wrapping Red Dog's doo in a plastic bag and tossing it in the trash, whenever we went for walks I would carry a small spade which I used to carry Red's poop back to my compost pit — only a little awkward.
I work in a newsroom. For most of my day, I sit at a desk and type, occasionally scrawling reminders, numbers or quotes onto sticky notes — which are recyclable. However, not recyclable? Paper towels. According to Business Insider's "Here's why you should stop trying to recycle your used paper towels" article, paper towels are often made from recycled paper. "By the time the paper's been reincarnated as a napkin or tissue, the fibers are too short to be used again," the story reads.
Moreover, The New York Times reports that paper towels comprise 20-40 percent of the waste from an office building.
Paper towels can be composted, I learned. But rather than keeping a compost collection on my desk, I thought I would just avoid paper towels altogether. Yet every time I washed my hands, I found myself mindlessly reaching for the paper towels, and, indeed, I had to pack several wads home.
The same was true for snacks. Fruit meant packing home peels and cores. But what about a protein bar's plastic wrapper or the plastic bag containing an afternoon snack of mixed nuts? Determining from what materials these products are made was an arduous task. I researched for hours with no definitive answer.
The best I could gather is that snack wrappers for everything from protein bars to candy bars to cheese are most likely made from one of two materials: low-density polyethylene or polypropylene. Unable to read one more online article or sift through one more forum, I called Chattanooga's Public Works Department to find out if these plastics are recyclable.
Nope, Harry Strickland, general supervisor over curbside recycling, told me. And neither are ironing boards, diapers or grass clippings, he continued. "For some reason, we see a lot of those things curbside," he said.
I'd already learned enough from my waste-free week to know that grocery shopping was not going to be as simple as limiting my list to produce and items packaged in recyclable containers.
First, there was that fruit sticker business. Then, there was the realization that I had no idea how certain products were made.
Fruit and vegetables are compostable, as long as you avoid that fruit sticker and those plastic produce bags, which are made from polyethylene, the same non-recyclable material as snack wrappers and grocery bags.
Bread bags, too, are made from that same low-density plastic and cannot be recycled. But they can be reused to pack lunches, collect compost scraps or pack shoes or toiletries for traveling.
A salad dressing bottle, or any plastic container, can be recycled as long as its bottom is stamped with a number "1" or "2." But their plastic lids are commonly made from heavier plastic. If they were stamped with a number, it would be a "5," denoting a type of plastic that is often collected curbside, but not in Chattanooga.
Milk cartons and fruit juice cartons, though wax-lined, are still recyclable.
Of course, I forgot my canvas tote bags and had to carry my loose groceries in my arms, lest I give in to the plastic bag. Plastic bag statistics are somber. Numbers compiled by Waste Management Company state that Americans use 100 billion plastic bags each year — only 1 percent of which will be returned for recycling. The rest wind up in landfills where they take more than 500 years to decompose.
In Chattanooga, the only two plastic bag drop-off centers I found were Publix and Walmart Supercenters. And the good news? These centers also accept produce bags and bread bags.
Technically, a receipt can be recycled. However, 94 percent of receipts are made using a chemical called Bisphenol A, or BPA. According to the American Cancer Society, BPA may be harmful to one's health. Consequently, the ACS advises against recycling or composting receipts, which can contaminate other paper products.
The more I was learned, it seemed, the less I knew.
I had known my challenge would require some effort. I had not known that going waste-free would be the easy part. The hard part was all the in-depth online research to understand how products and packaging are made. According to Frontier Group, an organization dedicated to building a cleaner, healthier America, about 30 percent of all U.S. garbage is packaging.
I had never thought so critically about my consumption. It was eye-opening and exhausting.
At home that Friday evening, I emptied my overflowing kitchen compost. I started a load of laundry and pulled the clump of lint from the dryer — garbage, I knew, unless, of course, I spun it into thread or turned it into hamster bedding. Instead, I chucked it into the trash can.
Every year, Americans produce 230 millions pounds of garbage, more than 30 percent of the total trash generated worldwide. But the onus to waste less, I have now learned, cannot only be on the consumer. Companies must find a way to create more recyclable products with less packaging.
Still, we have all contributed to this crisis, one cotton ball, one fruit sticker, one careless clump of lint at a time.


Scuba diving VS Budget, which destination to choose ?
The choice of a future diving trip is often a headache for divers. Unless you have a clear idea, it is not uncommon to look for and hesitate for several months until the time you decide. So if you are fond of discovery, new adventures, and your wallet is one of the main criteria, Tribloo offers you these few destinations to choose according to your budget !
Some tips to avoid blowing up the budget !
During your search for a destination for your next dive trip, it is important to ask yourself the right questions so that you are neither disappointed by the location nor by a budget surprise. It is essential to ensure that the chosen period corresponds to the right season on site. You can sometimes try the off-season bet but you have to keep in mind that it will be hit or miss. Be sure to check when you take a package, especially the famous lines that tell you what is included and what is not. Do you have to pay for part of the meals or are they included ? Tourist taxes, visas, nitrox, diving equipment, drinks, tips, transfers... a careful check is necessary to plan your expenses as well as possible. Finally, find out about the local cost of living, especially if you have to pay for some of the meals and drinks on site.
To help you find the right destination, Tribloo recommends a few in order of price, off-flight. For international flights, fares may vary greatly depending on the periods chosen (e. g. high and low season, outside or during school holidays, etc.).
What budget for my diving trip ?
With a quality/price ratio that defies all competition, but also its proximity to Europe for a total change of scenery, Egypt is one of the preferred destinations for divers from the old continent, but also from all over the world. What diver didn't dream of diving once in the Red Sea? Whether it is for a stay in a hotel in one of the seaside resorts such as Hurghada, El Qsueir, Safaga or Marsa Alam, with unlimited diving packages, or for a cruise on the most beautiful Egyptian sites, from the Sinai to the reefs of St-John's, Egypt offers stays for all budgets !
Despite its remoteness and fairly expensive flight tickets, Madagascar remains an excellent diving destination at a reduced rate. The cost of living being extremely low, your stay will only cost you a few hundred euros for a week of diving with quality services. Of course it is possible to find much higher quality packages. Madagascar is a magical place where you will discover a generous Nature with encounters that you will remember all your life.
Among the most fashionable tropical destinations, the Philippines is one of the most affordable, especially in Southeast Asia in the famous Coral Triangle, renowned for hosting the world's greatest marine biodiversity. The archipelago of 7107 islands is full of attractive diving spots, each more attractive than the next. And even if the trip is long, airline tickets can be very affordable by looking carefully!
In Central America and the Caribbean, Mexico is probably one of the most attractive diving destinations. With a very diversified offer, divers are seduced: beautiful colorful immersions on the coral reefs, a sensational encounter with bullsharks, the exploration of legendary cenotes, or snorkeling sessions with whale sharks... you won't get bored in Mexico!
Lost in the middle of the Indian Ocean, the Maldivian atolls are part of the "To do list" of most divers on the planet. Their postcard landscapes, but above all their amazing seabed make the Maldives one of the most beautiful diving destinations. You can see almost everything from schools of fish at each corner of the reef, to multiple species of sharks, including whale sharks, manta rays, but also a multitude of small species that will appeal to macro enthusiasts. Although there is no shortage of hotels and diving centres in the Maldives, the best option is a liveaboard to dive on the most beautiful sites.
Bordered by both the Atlantic and Indian Ocean waters, South Africa is a dream destination for divers looking for thrills. It is one of the best places to meet many species of great sharks such as tigers, bullsharks, sand tiger sharks, hammers, oceanic... or the great white shark ! But it is also the site of one of the most impressive gatherings on the planet.... Every year, sardines gather in the millions and move up the east coast of the country, attracting a multitude of predators for an unrestrained hunt... This is the Sardine Run !
Still in the Coral Triangle, the great island of Sulawesi is one of the favorite destinations for divers from all over the world. It must be said that there are absolutely incredible seabeds, with both colourful sites on superb drop offs full of life, and vast sandy stretches... It must be said that it is the world's referral for lovers of strange creatures. With in the foreground, the Lembeh Strait, considered as the Mecca of muck-diving !
Made famous by the naturalist Charles Darwin, where he made many observations that allowed him to support his theory of evolution, the Galapagos is a true open-air museum of nature. A trip that allows you to touch with your finger one of the great paradises of our planet, populated by many species that can only be found on these islands.
So, do you have an idea for your future diving trip? Perhaps you will choose one of these excellent destinations. Maybe another one... The choice is vast and that's good !


Starting in early March, 2017, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada will begin accepting permanent resident applications for the Atlantic Immigration Pilot programs. In 2017, a total of up to 2000 applications, which include the skilled worker and any family member coming with them, will be accepted for these programs.
In an innovative first, employers will be required to work with settlement service provider organizations to help newcomers to Canada integrate into their new communities in Atlantic Canada so they stay there long-term and help grow the economy in the region.
Often, economic immigrants that come to Canada don't necessarily have a job offer or a settlement plan in place before they arrive. Under this Pilot, every principal applicant will come to Atlantic Canada with a job offer and an individualized settlement plan for themself and their family, connecting them to services known to support successful integration.
Once a designated employer finds a skilled immigrant who meets their employment needs and the program criteria, they will need to first offer them a job.
In many cases a Labour Market Impact Assessment is needed for immigration purposes to show that no Canadian worker is available to do the job. To help address the pressing labour market needs of the Atlantic region, employers will not need to get a Labour Market Impact Assessment for jobs they offer to skilled workers under these new pilot programs.
After accepting the job, the employer will connect the skilled immigrant with a designated settlement service provider organization for a needs assessment and to develop a settlement plan. Employers will also support the long-term integration of the newcomer and their family so they can reach the goals of their settlement plan once they arrive in Canada.
Starting in March 2017, employers that need to fill an immediate job vacancy will also have access to a temporary work permit so the skilled immigrant and their family can come to Canada right away. To qualify for this temporary work permit, the skilled immigrants will need a valid job offer, a letter from the province and a commitment to apply for permanent residence within 90 days of the temporary work permit application.
To help determine the success of the Pilot, ongoing reporting by employers, settlement service provider organizations and provinces to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada will be in place. Details on reporting requirements will be available later in 2017.
The Atlantic provinces are now accepting applications from employers that would like to hire skilled immigrants under the Pilot. Employers with locations in multiple Atlantic provinces will require separate a designation for each province.
To become designated, employers must meet certain requirements, including a commitment to support the newcomer and their family as they integrate into their new life in Atlantic Canada.
Employers can visit the websites below for information on how to apply to become a designated employer under the Pilot.


The 'Ride & Drive' is a popular field demonstration at Ag in Motion, and 2018 was no different. This year, farmers, spray applicators and machinery dealers alike had the chance to make side-by-side comparisons of new sprayer models from New Holland, Apache, RoGator and Case IH. Spencer Myers of AgDealer.com gives you a quick rundown of this feature demonstration and what you might have missed at the July show.

Lighthouse keeper opens the most remote cafe in Scotland
By carasulieman -
By Rebecca Jamieson
VISITORS to Cape Wrath, one of the most remote areas in Scotland, will now be able to enjoy a nice cup of tea when they reach their secluded holiday destination.
Customers will face a ferry ride and a three-hour trek up a stony path before they reach the most isolated café in Scotland.
But visiting the café – which is situated in a lighthouse on a cliff top – will be worth it for the stunning views.
Lighthouse keeper John Ure plans to sell teas, coffees and sandwiches next month once the visitors start arriving.
He said: "It must have the best views of any café.
"You regularly see whales and dolphins in the sea below and we get visits from sea and golden eagles.
"There are also lots of red deer, badgers and foxes."
Cape Wrath is the most northwesterly point in Scotland, and boasts Britain's highest sea cliffs.
John and his wife Kay, both 54, are Cape Wrath's only official residents.
When they moved in and set up home with their six spaniels, the lighthouse was derelict.
But they share their neighbourhood with the Ministry of Defence who use the area as an army bombing range for two weeks every year.
John added: "We will have to close the café a couple of weeks a year when they bomb the area."
Despite this, more than 2000 tourists visit Cape Wrath every year.
The lighthouse was built by Robert Stevenson – grandfather of the famous Treasure Island author.
It was built in 1828 and remains a working lighthouse, although it is now remotely monitored from Edinburgh.
John said: "It's a great location and it was my idea to open a café. There can't be many like it."
Director of The Museum of Scottish Lighthouses in Fraserburgh, Virginia Mayes-Wright, said: "The café is even more good reason to visit Cape Wrath."

This is lovely – what traveller could resist? I have a friend on Arran – it's miles from this place, but it's an excuse to go to Scotland!

If readers google Cape Wrath LIghthouse you will find some amazing photos. Wow, this place is amazing! I'd love to go. It would end up being a pretty expensive cup of tea, though.

Dear John and Kay U,
I heard all about your new cafe venture on the radio yesterday. This fits in nicely with our plan to 'do' Caithness and Sutherland this summer, after visiting several islands in Orkney….. I will tell everyone I meet about this cafe. My late father, Ernest Booth, certainly went as far as the lighthouse, in a Land Rover, I believe, 50 years ago or so, when he worked with the Institute of Seaweed Research.
His various adventures, recounted to us children, have had the effect of sending me north, where I now live, in Unst. I have also been very many times to Orkney, and was there again last month, in 4 different islands….
All good wishes for your venture.

Just a simple enquiry please. My late grandfather often told me many years ago that one of our ancestors was the Lighthouse Keeper on Cape Wrath. Over the past year or so I nave been investigating our family history and find there was a GG Grandmother of mine named Dolina Dingwall (1803 – 1886), whose father was Alexander Dingwall, mother Christian (Christina?) McKay from Durness. Dolina migrated to Australia on the ill-fated fever ship 'Ticonderoga' in 1852.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. David White

II was a relief Light Keeper on Cape Wrath Lighthouse approx.1971. Eric was the Principal Keeper. I worked on many other Lighthouses including The Bass Rock. I then moved to the MV HESPERUS lighthouse supply ship. I live in Canada now and maybe someday I will return for a coffee at the Cafe. Anyone who remembers me can contact me at [email protected]

Where would be the best place to stay if you were planning to visit the lighthouse?
Mike Farrall November 26, 2013 at 6:15 pm
Hello Christina
Am convinced someone has already replied to this request – only sorry I've only just seen it. The obvious places to stay would be around Durness and the surrounding area but there is a place a couple of miles from the lighthouse at Kearvaig. This is a bothy maintained by the Mountain Bothy Association and which is free to stay at for the odd night and is absolutely breathtaking. The following adress will take you to a series of photo's detailing the renovation of the bothy over several years.

Hope this of interest.

DANA White has stirred things up on social media plenty of times. But he's never seen a reaction like this.
The UFC boss has been floored by the response he's seen since sharing a video of Keaton Jones, a young boy who spoke out in gut-wrenching fashion against the bullying he's suffering at a Tennessee school.
The vision, which shows Keaton with tears streaming down his face as he talks about being too scared to go to lunch, is incredibly moving.
"Why do they bully? What's the point of it? Why do you find joy in taking innocent people and finding a way to be mean to them? It's not OK," Keaton says.
"They made fun of my nose. They call me ugly. They say I have no friends. (They) poured milk on me and put ham down my clothes, threw bread at me.
"I don't like that they do it to me and I sure don't like that they do it to other people because it's not OK. Some people are different, they don't need to be criticised about it. It's not their fault.
The original video, posted by Keaton's mother on Facebook, has been viewed more than 18 million times.
The vision struck a nerve with notable figures across the sports world, including two UFC champions.
"This video really touched my heart," added welterweight champ Tyron Woodley. "It's not wrong to be different. We all are beautifully and wonderfully made.
There was also an outpouring of support — and incredible offers — from the entertainment world as Keaton went from bullied teen to one of the most popular kids on the internet.
Actor Chris Evans, AKA Captain America, invited Keaton to attend the premiere of the Avengers in Los Angeles.
Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown and Suits star Patrick J. Adams also gave Keaton a shout out.
After seeing the video the Tennessee college football team pledged they would be visiting the local school to spend the day with Jones.
The teams quarterback Jarrett Guarantano was one of the first players to reach out and today, got the opportunity to meet and spend some time with the inspirational youngster.
Guarantano even called Jones the "little brother I always wanted".

The Oryx and Crake is a dystopian novel by Margaret Atwood. The book is set soon after a pandemic has killed many of the world's population. The novel takes place on a remote island in the Arctic Ocean where Jimmy, an animal lover and amateur scientist, lives with his best friend, Toby.
The Oryx and Crake begin with Jimmy reminiscing about his childhood as he looks for oryxes to photograph for his book on endangered species. He describes his idyllic life in an unnamed country similar to Canada and how he met Toby at school when they were both children.
He also talks about how his father was murdered when he was young, so the family moved away from their small-town home to live with relatives in the city. Jimmy meets Crake when they are both teenagers at a party where Crake introduces him to meat pie and ice cream cake that tastes like custard but doesn't melt like regular ice cream.
Furthermore, Jimmy falls in love with Crake immediately because he's intelligent, handsome, and funny, but it turns out that Crake isn't interested in Jimmy; he wants to sleep with him so he can get his DNA sample.
The main characters are Jimmy, Snowman, and Crake. Jimmy is a young genius who creates a cure for cancer when he is just a kid. Snowman is Jimmy's best friend, and Crake is an eccentric genius who later becomes the leader of an underground society called 'God's Gardeners.'
The plot follows Snowman as he tries to uncover his past by following clues left by Crake. He ends up meeting Jimmy, another survivor who isn't sure what has happened either. After some searching, they both find themselves at The Green Place, where they meet Oryx, another survivor who helps them understand what happened in the past.

Access to Mental Health Services Could Transform Rural Health Care
July 27, 2015; High Plains Public Radio
United Methodist Health Ministry Fund (UMHMF) is dedicated to improving rural health care by using the ideas of locals about how the system might be changed to work better. The fund's president, Kim Moore, says that change to those rural health systems is inevitable—"and if it isn't guided by the people in the communities and their friends around the state who love and care for rural Kansas—instead it's allowed to happen by external factors—the results may be a really poor health care system in much of our rural and frontier areas." So the fund's board asked rural health providers for transformational ideas to fund.
One such project is located in Clark County, where two small hospitals cater to communities with fewer than 1000 residents. Debbie Bruner heads one of these, Minneola District Hospital and its rural health clinic, and according to her, the need for mental health services as part of good primary care presents itself daily.
"A lot of your chronic conditions coexist with some type of a mental health issue that's going on," Bruner said. "Especially with your diabetics and your COPDs (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), where it's altered their lifestyle, a lot of times you will see depression coincide with that medical condition." But right now, the closest mental health clinic is 40 miles away.
Clinical director Travis Hamrick thinks having a mental health specialist right in Clark County would make a big difference in managing the chronic illnesses that not only land people in the hospital but also impoverish them. "For folks with diabetes, it takes a lot of coping skills to be able to manage that disorder," Hamrick said. "You've got to be able to make your doctor's appointments. You've got to be able to check your blood sugar levels. You've got to be able to take your medications consistently. Somebody with an emotional disorder or depression, at times they become hopeless or helpless and they just stop taking their medications."
In the other small town, nearby Ashland, the Ashland Health Center's medical director, Dan Shuman, said that in a relatively small community there's also an embarrassment factor, an additional reason for integration of the service into primary care.
"Part of the benefit of having it integrated into the primary care side is when you show up, you just show up to the clinic," he said. "You can privately talk to the front desk and tell them who you're here to see, and once you walk back, nobody knows who you're seeing."
UMHMF's grant is only a temporary fix, but it may allow the hospitals to demonstrate cost-effectiveness and better health outcomes, which may help persuade Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurers to pay for the model more long-term.—Ruth McCambridge

West must accept Moscow's demands
Says Putin as he lays conditions for talks to end Ukraine war; EU tentatively agrees $60 price cap on Russian seaborne oil
Sat Dec 3, 2022 12:00 AM Last update on: Sat Dec 3, 2022 12:32 AM
Russian President Vladimir Putin is "open to negotiations" on Ukraine but the West must accept Moscow's demands, the Kremlin said yesterday, a day after US President Joe Biden said he was willing to talk if Putin were looking for a way to end the war.
Speaking after talks on Thursday at the White House with French President Emmanuel Macron, Biden said he was ready to speak with Putin "if in fact there is an interest in him deciding he's looking for a way to end the war", adding the Russian leader "hasn't done that yet".
Biden has not spoken directly with Putin since Russia invaded Ukraine on Feb. 24. In March, Biden branded Putin a "butcher" who "cannot stay in power".
Now, after more than nine months of fighting and with winter tightening its grip, Western countries are trying to boost aid for Ukraine as it reels from Russian missile and drone attacks targeting key energy infrastructure that have left millions without heating, electricity and water.
Fighting is raging in eastern Ukraine, with the town of Bakhmut the main target of Moscow's artillery attacks, while Russian forces in the southern Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions remain on the defensive, Ukraine's General Staff said in its latest battlefield update.
In a bid to reduce the money available for Moscow's war effort, the European Union has tentatively agreed to a $60 a barrel price cap on Russian seaborne oil, diplomats said. The measure will need to be approved by all EU governments in a written procedure by Friday.
In Moscow's first public response to Biden's overture, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters: "The president of the Russian Federation has always been, is and remains open to negotiations in order to ensure our interests."
However, Peskov said the US refusal to recognise annexed territory in Ukraine as Russian was hindering a search for ways to end the war. Moscow has previously sought sweeping security guarantees including a reversal of Nato's eastern expansion.
"What did President Biden say in fact? He said that negotiations are possible only after Putin leaves Ukraine," Peskov told reporters, adding Moscow was "certainly" not ready to accept those conditions.
Putin told German Chancellor Olaf Scholz in a phone call yesterday that the Western line on Ukraine was "destructive" and urged Berlin to rethink its approach, the Kremlin said.
In Berlin's readout on the call, Scholz's spokesperson said the chancellor had condemned Russian air strikes against civilian infrastructure and called for a diplomatic solution to the war "including a withdrawal of Russian troops".
Separately, the German government confirmed it was preparing to deliver seven Gepard tanks to Ukraine, adding to the 30 air-defence tanks already being used to fight Russian forces.
Biden and Macron said in a joint statement after their talks on Thursday they were determined to hold Russia to account "for widely documented atrocities and war crimes, committed both by its regular armed forces and by its proxies" in Ukraine.
Russia's foreign ministry said on Friday it was "outraged" by a statement from the French foreign ministry that supported European Union plans to create a tribunal on possible crimes committed by Moscow in Ukraine.
On the ground, three people were killed and seven wounded in Russian shelling of the southern Ukrainian region of Kherson over the past 24 hours, the regional governor said yesterday.
Meanwhile, Russian-installed officials in Donetsk said three people had died yesterday after Ukrainian forces shelled the eastern Ukrainian city.
In a grisly development, several Ukrainian embassies abroad received "bloody packages" containing animal eyes, Ukraine's foreign ministry said yesterday after a series of letter bombs were sent to sites in Spain including Kyiv's embassy in Madrid.

Anns a' Ghiblean ochd ceud deug, ochdad 's a h-aon (1881), bha an Constabal Seumas MacDhaibhidh a' coimhead an t-soithich, an India, agus i a' dol a-steach a Chala Mhelbourne ann an Astràilia. 'S e Albannach a bh' ann an MacDhaibhidh, agus bha e air ùr-ghluasad gu Astràilia. Fhad 's a bha an India a' seòladh seachad air, bha am poileasman a' leughadh a' Scotsman. Agus bha alt sa phàipear-naidheachd mun Ferret, agus mar a chaidh i à fianais ann an Alba.
Chunnaic Seumas gun robh an India coltach ris a' Ferret. Chùm e a shùil oirre. Chuir e fios do na ceannardan aige. Chaidh oifigearan cusbainn air bòrd, agus chunnaic iad ainm eile fon ainm 'India' air a cliathaich.
Dh'fheuch MacEanraig agus a chompanaich ri teicheadh ach fhuaireadh grèim orra, agus chaidh iad don chùirt anns an Iuchar, agus grunn chasaidean orra, – foill, co-fheall, atharrachadh ainm soithich is eile. Bha an triùir a bh' air cùl a' ghnothaich – MacEanraig, Uallas agus Wright (co-dhiù, sin na h-ainmean a thug iad don chùirt!) – air dithis eile fhastadh ann an Glaschu.
Thug fear dhiubh – Griffin, an t-àrd-einnseanair – fianais nan aghaidh. Bha am fear eile, Watkins, am prìomh-oifigear seòlaidh, air an soitheach fhàgail ann an Cape Town. Agus rinn an triùir a bha fo chasaid stòiridh mu Watkins, feuch gum biodh iad air an tomhas neoichiontach. Seo mar a tha an Australasian Sketcher ga mhìneachadh.
Thuirt an neach-lagha dìon, a' bruidhinn às leth MhicEanraig, gun robh MacEanraig air an soitheach fhaighinn airson Watkins. Bha Watkins ag obair airson Riaghaltas Pheru. Bha Peru agus Chile ri cogadh an aghaidh a chèile. Bha Chile air bacadh a chur air luingeas ann am puirt Pheru. Chaidh am Ferret fhastadh airson a bhith a' briseadh tron bhacadh agus luchd de dh'armachd a thoirt a Pheru. A h-uile rud a thachair às dèidh làimh, thuirt am fear-lagha, bha sin dìreach airson an fhìrinn a chleith bho Riaghaltas Chile. Cha robh MacEanraig ri foill. Bha e an làn-dùil am Ferret a thoirt air ais a dh'Alba air neo a cheannach airson sùim a chaidh aontachadh ro làimh de sheachd mìle not.
Cha do ghabh an diùraidh ri sin. Cho-dhùin iad nach robh an triùir ciontach de bhith ri foill an aghaidh Companaidh Rèile na Gàidhealtachd. Ach fhuair iad ciontach iad de bhith a' feuchainn ri foill a dhèanamh air daoine ann am Melbourne a bha am beachd am Ferret a cheannach agus de bhith ri foill an aghaidh Coimiseanair na Cusbainn. Fhuair MacEanraig seachd bliadhna sa phrìosan. Fhuair Uallas seachd bliadhna cuideachd, agus Wright trì bliadhna gu leth.
Cha do thill am Ferret a dh'Alba. Cheannaich fear ann an Adelaide i agus chuir e a seann ainm air ais oirre. Bha i ag obair timcheall costa Astràilia a Deas. Ann an naoi ceud deug 's a ceithir (1904) thug i taic do long Nirribheach a chaidh air a' chladach. Thug i a h-uile duine gu sàbhailteachd.
Sia bliadhn' deug às dèidh sin, chaidh am Ferret air na creagan ann an stoirm anns an dearbh àite. An turas seo, cha robh duine faisg airson cobhair a dhèanamh orra agus b' fheudar don chriutha còig cilemeatair a choiseachd gu sàbhailteachd. Agus b' e sin e airson a' Ferret. Cha do sheòl i tuilleadh.
Faclan na Litreach: cusbainn: customs; neach-lagha dìon: defence lawyer; Nirribheach: Norwegian.
Abairtean na Litreach: an Constabal Seumas MacDhaibhidh: Constable James Davidson; bha e air ùr-ghluasad gu Astràilia: he had just moved to Australia; mar a chaidh i à fianais: how she disappeared; dh'fheuch MacEanraig agus a chompanaich ri teicheadh:Henderson and his companions attempted to flee; grunn chasaidean: several charges; foill, co-fheall, atharrachadh ainm soithich:fraud, conspiracy, changing the name of a vessel; bha am prìomh-oifigear seòlaidh air an soitheach fhàgail: the sailing master had left the vessel; rinn an triùir a bha fo chasaid stòiridh: the three accused made a story; feuch gum biodh iad air an tomhas neoichiontach: in an attempt to be found not guilty; bha Chile air bacadh a chur air luingeas ann am puirt Pheru:Chile had placed a shipping blockade on Peru's ports; luchd de dh'armachd: a cargo of weaponry; dìreach airson an fhìrinn a chleith bho:just to hide the truth from; bha e an làn-dùil X a thoirt air ais a dh'Alba air neo a cheannach airson sùim a chaidh aontachadh ro làimh:he totally expected to take X back to Scotland or to buy it for a sum that was agreed beforehand; cha do ghabh an diùraidh ri:the jury didn't accept; fhuair iad ciontach iad de bhith a' feuchainn ri foill a dhèanamh air daoine: they found them guilty of attempting to defraud people; chuir e a seann ainm air ais oirre: he gave her her old name back; gun robh e ri foill: that he was involved in deceipt; ann an stoirm anns an dearbh àite: in a storm in the same place; airson cobhair a dhèanamh orra: to help them; b' fheudar don chriutha còig cilemeatair a choiseachd : the crew had to walk five km.
Puing-chànain na Litreach: bha am poileasman a' leughadh a' Scotsman: the policeman was reading the Scotsman. It's interesting that the old Gaelic dictionaries of Dwelly's time and before do not carry poileas or anything similar for 'police'. Maor-sìth is probably the most common translation at that time. Poileas seems to have come into the language since that time, most likely as a loanword from English, influenced by the Scots pronunciation 'polis'. Poileas can mean both a single officer, and a police force. If we want to be specific about a single officer, we can use poileasman or oifigear (poilis).
Gnàthas-cainnt na Litreach: Thug fear dhiubh – Griffin, an t-àrd-einnseanair – fianais nan aghaidh: One of them – Griffin, the chief engineer, gave evidence against them.

In response to the conflict in Ukraine, RTP's founder, Leonid Boguslavsky – who holds Russian and Canadian citizenship – shares this statement:
"Seeing what is happening in Ukraine, I cannot remain silent. I feel deeply that this catastrophic and unjustified tragedy must end. I believe that invention and entrepreneurship should be used to build a new, better world – one with more joy and less suffering. That is why I have devoted more than 20 years of my life to supporting innovation globally.
"I have no political ties to Russia.

KUALA LUMPUR (Nikkei Markets) -- Top Glove, the world's largest rubber gloves maker, plans to spend 100 million ringgit ($25.5 million) to build a plant in Vietnam as China operations cost escalates amid robust global demand, its chairman said Friday.
"Production cost in China is not cheap anymore," Lim Wee Chai said at a news conference. "The cost of gas is 30% higher than Malaysia."
The company is looking at 20 acres in Vietnam to build the new plant, which will have 10 production lines that will mostly crank out vinyl gloves, Lim said.
Top Glove, which currently manufactures about 52 billion pieces annually in plants located in Malaysia, Thailand and China, is building new factories and acquiring other companies in an ambitious bid to capture 30% of global market share. By 2019, it aims to have 40 factories producing more than 64 billion gloves every year.
Meanwhile, it is gradually converting its boilers in China plant to be gas-fired from coal to meet pollution curbing rules. The cost of converting the boilers average at about 2 million ringgit each, Lim said.
"I think it is good to move away from China to Vietnam because the cost of running business in China is much more expensive now," said UOB Kay Hian's analyst Chan Jit Hoong. "In the next one-to-two years, (the move) would be good for the company as its intention is to move vinyl production there."
The company also plans to launch its own condom brand 'Top Feel' by end of this year, Lim said. The condom factory is expected to begin production in the second half of the year.
The bulk of condom production will be as original equipment manufacturing for other brands, while Top Glove's own brand will account for only up to 20% of total output, Lim said.
The company is expected to target existing customers who are also involved in condom business, UOB's Chan said. "It will be an OEM player and the business is still relatively small at this juncture," he added.
Earlier Friday, Top Glove said it signed a pact with a consortium of eight lenders for $310 million unsecured syndicated credit facility to help finance the 1.37 billion ringgit ($349.3 million) acquisition of surgical glove maker Aspion.
The consortium, led by Citibank, includes Bank of Tokyo Mitsubishi UFJ, Hong Leong Bank, Mizuho Bank, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corp, BNP Paribas, Bangkok Bank and Bank of China.
"Moving forward, we expect Top Glove to record sequentially-stronger quarters ahead," Walter AW, CIMB Investment Bank's analyst wrote in a note to clients, after the company Thursday reported a 31.3% jump in fiscal second quarter net profit to 109.01 million ringgit on the back of record-high sales volume. He expects Aspion's contributions to start reflecting on Top Glove's earnings from the fiscal third quarter, and kept Add call with a target price of 10.80 ringgit as the company is likely to benefit from strong global demand for rubber gloves, higher capacity and potential margin expansion from economies of scale.
Top Glove shares ended down 0.5% at 9.80 ringgit apiece on Friday, while the benchmark FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI closed 0.1% higher.
