Zambia is one of 20 countries that make up the Southern Africa-Indian Ocean Division (SID).
There are 9,591 churches with a membership of 3,227,104 in SID.
Zambia hosted nine young people in 2015 for One Year in Mission, a General Conference initiative for community outreach.
Takila (tah-KEE-lah) is a Global Mission pioneer in the country of Zambia, a country in the Southern Africa-Indian Ocean Division where our Thirteenth Sabbath Offering will be going this quarter.
Who knows what a Global Mission pioneer is? [Let a child answer.] Yes, a pioneer is a person who has volunteered to spend a year or more working in an area where no one knows about Jesus.
Takila went to special meetings to learn how to share Jesus with others. He learned a little bit about the people he would be working with too. He learned that the people believed in witchcraft. They went to the witch doctor when they were sick or when things in their life seemed to be going wrong. The witch doctor would chant some strange words, then throw some charms and old bones onto the ground. Then he would "read" the bones and charms and tell the person what the spirits thought the problem was. Sometimes the problem was an angry ancestor who had not been worshiped properly, or perhaps the witch doctor thought someone had placed a curse on the person, and for a price he would remove the curse. People often tested someone's honesty by placing a curse on them. If the person died, then they were not honest and truthful. But if they lived, then they could be trusted.
Takila was eager to start working for Jesus. He walked to the first village in his new territory and talked to the chief. Then he talked to the people of the village about Jesus. Soon it was time for him to go to the next village. Takila didn't know how far it was to the village, but from what the villagers told him he thought it was quite near. Late in the afternoon Takila started out for the next village.
Takila didn't know it, but the people in the village he was leaving wanted to know if what he had told them was true. So they went to the witch doctor and asked him to call on the lions that lived in the savanna around their village to test Takila's honesty.
As Takila walked along the path to the next village, the sun slipped behind the distant hills. He didn't know how far the village was or where he could stay during the night. As darkness set in, Takila saw lions in the distance. It was their favorite time to hunt. Takila was frightened, but it wouldn't do any good to cry for help, because no person was nearby to come to help him.

Looks like SOMEBODY pigged out over the holidays. "Glee" football stud Cory Monteith was seen sweating profusely under the tutelage of a tough-as-nails trainer at Gold's Gym in Hollywood. An observer remarked that Cory looked like he'd been "inflated." The new larger version of Cory probably didn't agree with the show's producers when he reported back to work, and they ordered him to shape up. He was seen doing a punishing series of jumping jacks and pushups to hasten the process.
he want some free advice?
that picture is from like 3 months ago. you could at least get a recent picture. there are many out there.
He looks better here than now! He's way way too tweeky thin. His body shape is fine especially because Finn is a football player with a bit of doughboy body! Damn Hollywood standards of what's hot/beauty!
By Casonia...Who is going to Win Hells Kitchen? Hope it is not Elisa and hope Paul really rocks it out and Jennifer was not his type from the start and when a man is flirting with other woman his desire was never there to start off with! Tommy speak up dear!
I COULD NEVER GET INTO THE SHOW BUT HAPPY IT IS DOING WELL AND THAT IT MAKES SO MANY PEOPLE HAPPY AND CHEERFUL.
I WOULD NOT KNOW THE MOVIE STARS OF GLEE IF THEY WALKED PASSED ME AND THERE IS SOMETHING ABOUT THE SHOW THAT COMPLETELY TURNS ME OFF AND…I CAN'T PUT MY FINGER ON IT.
By Casonia..Hells kitchen is over and Know Kitchen Nightmare is going to take it place and here comes the hurt words!The world is very weak and can't handle words that hurt there feelings.Blunt and to the point.
People are going to do what they want to do and you just can't stop them..Every one has the right to screw things up.

Aleister Crowley was born October 12, 1875. He was an English occultist, ceremonial magician, poet, painter, novelist, and mountaineer. He founded the religion of Thelema, identifying himself as the prophet entrusted with guiding humanity into the Æon of Horus in the early 20th century. A prolific writer, he published widely over the course of his life. Born to a wealthy family in Royal Leamington Spa, Warwickshire, Crowley rejected his parents' fundamentalist Christian faith to pursue an interest in Western esotericism. He was educated at Trinity College at the University of Cambridge, where he focused his attentions on mountaineering and poetry. Some biographers allege that here he was recruited into a British intelligence agency, further suggesting that he remained a spy throughout his life. In 1898 he joined the esoteric Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, where he was trained in ceremonial magic. Moving to Boleskine House by Loch Ness in Scotland, he went mountaineering in Mexico before studying Hindu and Buddhist practices in India. He married Rose Edith Kelly, and in 1904 they honeymooned in Cairo, Egypt. Crowley declared his followers should "Do what thou wilt" and seek to align themselves with their True Will through the practice of magick. Herein is a treasury of his long-lost writings.

Emirates First Class Review : Bling It On!
I decided to fly Emirates First Class for my 40th birthday trip. Who doesn't want to fly in a private suite on a plane that has a shower and bar for their birthday? Duh!
The only thing that was standing between me and sipping Dom in the Emirates First Class private suite was $47,257.92. I was ready to splurge and all, but #$@* !!!!
There wasn't a snowball's chance in lower Alabama that I could slip that credit card bill past my husband, so I looked into the option of using points.
Emirates is a 1:1 transfer partner with American Express, and we always have a pile of American Express points from our Orange Beach vacation rental company.
I spent a little over 600,000 points for two Emirates First Class tickets from Houston to the Maldives with a stopover in Dubai. There were also fuel charges in the neighborhood of $1700 per person. There are a ton of bloggers out there who do this a lot savvier and cheaper, but I was still proud of only spending points plus $3400! It beats $47K any day.
So I bet your wondering if it was it worth it. The short answer is …. hell yeah it was !!!
Let's start with the Emirates First Class airport lounge. They are non eventful in the U.S. as they use our crappy American lounges, but they are mind blowing amazing in Dubai. The Emirates First Class Lounge covers an entire concourse, and you are treated like royalty.
I wonder what the waffles and bacon looks like ?!
Champagne is flowing everywhere in the Emirates Dubai First Lounge, even at 8 am. Apparently there is also a spa with free treatments and sleeping areas. Like I said, I just wanted a little fruit and cheese before we boarded our plane.
The Emirates First class suite on the A380 and 777 is amazing. I've heard a lot of people say its "blingy" or "ostentatious." I don't know about you, but if Im about to drop 47K then BLING IT ON!
The Emirates first class suite includes a personal mini bar along with an iPad to control everything from your suite door to your movie of choice.
The food in First Class was equally fabulous as the suite. I had never tried caviar, and not surprisingly, I loved it !!
I also am not a huge wine drinker, but I wanted to order a nice glass of red. They sent me a sampling along with a box of Godiva chocolates. What else would you expect in Emirates First Class ?
Honestly, we did not go to the Emirates on board bar as much as you would think during a 16 hour flight. It was too easy and comfortable in our own suite.
The Emirates on board bar is shared with the business class. It was surprisingly very large for a bar on a plane! Emirates also has appetizers, hot and cold, at the bar.
The First Class has its own bar, but its only there in case you want to make your own drink instead of calling the flight attendant. Who does that ?
Even more awesome than the Emirates on board bar, is the First Class Shower. There are actually two showers in First Class, and the experience is "pinch yourself" worthy.
After your first class shower, there are two attendants waiting for you with a cup of hot tea. The shower attendants, appropriately dressed in spa attire, turn the first class bar into a spa like display complete with a waterfall.
Once you return to your suite, there is a nice plate of refreshing fruit waiting for you.
As many of you know, the Emirates onboard shower and onboard bar only exist on the A380. Since we flew with Emirates on 4 different legs, we also had the opportunity to fly on the 777 in First Class.
I can honestly say that the flight attendants were far more friendly and personable on the 777 than the A380. . That's not to say that we had bad service on the A380. The A380 first class flight attendants just seemed to be following the motions more than the attendants on the 777.
Check out our entire trip to Dubai and Maldives !
Very impressed with the points… I just killed 500,000 on 4 first class tickets to Hawaii… Easy to do! Love this post!
Its sad how hard it is to earn 500,000 puts and how easy it is to spend them! Have fun in Hawaii!


Relatives of Brian Terry, the Border Patrol agent who was killed in a shootout with Mexican bandits in December 2010, criticized President Obama for "thinly equipped" Border Patrol agents.
Based on our calculations, she actually overestimates the number of Border Patrol agents compared to square miles. But that's still misleading — and leaves out important context.
Most Border Patrol agents survey areas closer to the Arizona-Mexico border, not the rest of the state. The number of agents per linear mile is much higher.

UN Report Describes 'Terrible' Year for Children in Armed Conflict
VOA News | Published on September 16, 2009
The U.N. Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Children and Armed Conflict says the past year has been terrible for children in war-torn regions. In a report submitted to the U.N. Human Rights Council, the Special Representative highlights the grave situation of child soldiers and other children in a number of conflicts around the world.
On a positive note, the United Nations estimates the number of child soldiers worldwide has fallen to 250,000 compared to 300,000 five years ago.
U.N. Special Representative Radhika Coomaraswamy says during the past year, a significant number of child soldiers were released by the National Liberation Forces in Burundi and more children are to be released in the Central African Republic and the Philippines as a result of active intervention by the United Nations.
But for the most part, she says negative developments far outweigh the positive ones. In particular, Coomaraswamy highlights the plight of child soldiers in ferocious conflicts in Gaza, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Iraq and Afghanistan.
In all of these conflicts, she says child soldiers and other children have suffered high casualty rates and grave violations. Many have become internally displaced.
She says the situation of children in internment camps in Sri Lanka is a matter of real concern.
"We feel that they should be allowed freedom of movement and reunited with their families and given complete access to humanitarian assistance," said Coomaraswamy. "We also feel that former child soldiers should be given assistance and be quickly reunited with their families rather than kept in detention."
In her report to the U.N. Human Rights Council, the special representative catalogues the terrible violations against children in Gaza, noting what they have suffered is beyond words.
She says fighting between government and Hutu rebel groups in the Democratic Republic of Congo has resulted in a great many children being killed and maimed.
She says many children in the North-West Frontier Province of Pakistan have been forcibly recruited by the militants and allegedly trained to become informants, fighters or suicide bombers.
Coomaraswamy says she is also very concerned about the changing nature of conflict, especially in the fight between terrorism and counter terrorism.
"Children, many of them are used as suicide bombers as well as fighters, on the one hand, that girls schools are attacked on the other. But, we also have a situation where large numbers of children are arrested and detained in the counter-terrorism activity," she said. "And, this is of concern to us. We also are concerned about the collateral damage that often results with child victims."
Coomaraswamy says it is critical for the international community to remain steadfast and determined to make those who violate the rights of children be held accountable. She says those who commit these crimes should be punished.

CIGNA FUNDING ENABLES 9HEALTH TO EXPAND MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES IN COLORADO
DENVER – December 17, 2019 – Funding from Cigna (NYSE: CI) will enable 9Health to expand mental health screenings and no-cost counseling to Colorado residents who need mental health care but cannot afford it. 9Health is a 40-year-old not-for-profit that makes mental and physical health prevention accessible for all Coloradans regardless of ability to pay.
"We are grateful to Cigna for their support to expand mental health screenings, education and counseling so that it is available to everyone in Colorado who needs it and, in essence, providing a mental health safety net for Colorado," said Gary Drews, 9Health President and CEO.
In Colorado, one in four adults struggle with mental health issues every year, and poor mental health is a widespread problem in Colorado, especially among women, Hispanics and middle-aged people. Further, many rural communities throughout Colorado experience a lack of healthcare overall and this includes access to mental and behavioral health services. Many Coloradans are often blocked from getting treatment by cost, fears about social perceptions, stigma and difficulty scheduling appointments.
"It's absolutely essential that all Coloradans have access to quality mental health care that's affordable," said John Roble, president of Cigna Mountain States. "Many people neglect their mental health due to a variety of barriers, including shame, stigma and cost. By working together with community organizations like 9Health, Cigna aims to help break down those barriers so that Coloradans can be healthy in both body and mind."
9Health and Cigna will collaborate to create an innovative model that capitalizes on 9Health's deep roots in the community and hundreds of mental health professionals who volunteer their time. Cigna funding will help 9Health provide Coloradans in need of approachable, low-barrier, on-demand mental and behavioral health screenings and services through equitable access, both virtually and on the ground. With Cigna's financial support, 9Health will make the mental health screenings and free counseling available to more Coloradans in need and develop the technical and programmatic foundation to extend these services.
9Health has a trusted, long-standing reputation for affordable, low-barrier preventive health education, screening and tools in Colorado. Since its inception in 1980, 9Health has impacted over 2 million lives across the state. For more information, go to 9healthfair.org.

Vanilla Islands commitments
The Liberté Métisse Festival, a festival which proudly celebrates Réunion's diversity	The Liberté Métisse Festival will be held from 19 to 21 December in the west of Réunion.
Home News Reunion island The Liberté Métisse Festival, a festival which proudly celebrates Réunion's diversity
The fifth edition of the Liberté Métisse festival will begin on Friday 19 December 2014 on the beach in L'Étang-Salé-les-Bains for three days of events to celebrate the island's pride and gratitude for its melting pot of cultures. As a Vanilla Islands event for Réunion, launched by the Réunion Region and organised in partnership with Réunion Island Tourism and the Vanilla Islands, this cultural event is part of the celebrations held on 20 December, a bank holiday in Réunion.
The Liberté Métisse Festival will be held from 19 to 21 December in L'Étang Salé in the west of Réunion. As part of the celebrations for 20 December, a major event which marks the abolition of slavery in Réunion, Liberté Métisse is the perfect opportunity for remembrance and to encourage younger generations to look back on the past. As a festival which brings people together, in true Réunionnais style, it focuses on our society's fundamental values and pays tribute to all those who fought for their freedom.
This fifth edition is resolutely focused on Réunion's diverse culture: music, dance, literature, language, gastronomy, history and more. The island of Réunion is incredibly multi-faceted. This mixture of cultures can be explained by the country's four centuries of history which saw the arrival of people from all over the world (Africa, Asia, Europe, Madagascar). Its cultural and ethnic melting pot make it a unique destination: an island where different traditions and religions exist in harmony and where differences are treasured.
A VANILLA ISLANDS EVENT
As a Vanilla Islands event, Liberté Métisse aims to share the common values of Réunion and the Indian Ocean islands. This event focuses on respect, tolerance, cultural crossover and social integration. The Vanilla Islands of Mayotte, Madagascar, Mauritius, the Seychelles and the Comoros will all be present in the Liberté Métisse village: come and meet them.
ASK FOR THE PROGRAMME!
The event will include thirty concerts with some of Réunion's biggest artists including Ziskakan, Meddy Gerville, Lo Grio, Pix'L, Dominique Barret, Oussanoussava, Benjam, Pat' Jaunes and more. There'll also be plenty of other artistic events for all: guided tours, dance demonstrations, culinary tasting sessions, urban art workshops, plays, conferences, stories, moraingy martial arts, exhibitions, children's events, an artists' market, screenings of short films on the history of Réunion and more.

HR Joins the Tech Revolution
by Arthur Goldstuck Jun 22, 2017
The technology revolution has swept away most vestiges of the old ways of business. But not all. Now the HR department is about to be disrupted, writes ARTHUR GOLDSTUCK.
There is hardly a mainstream business that has not been transformed by technology, yet the management of human resources (HR) remains stuck in early 20th century mode.
This is ironic, considering the massive emphasis placed on young workers and the new generation of job-entrant. The problem is that buzzwords are being used to paper over the cracks in the system. The term "millennial" has become a convenient byword for describing this new kind of employee, despite the fact that the 17-to-37-year-old age group it defines is utterly meaningless.
The result is that, while tremendous effort is made to attract young talent, little is done – outside youth-oriented brands like Google and Facebook – to retain them. Performance measures and reward systems may well be in place, but little is done with the huge amount of data collected in the process, and little effort goes into understanding what makes employees tick, and what contribution HR can make to the business.
Yet, in the age of big data and artificial intelligence, human resources should be given as much emphasis as sales, marketing and the customer experience – currently the obsession of most big businesses.
This gap explains the massive growth of a business like SuccessFactors, which provides human capital management software solutions via the cloud. Listed on the NASDAQ exchange in 2007, it was acquired by SAP in 2011 and now serves more than 6 000 companies and 45-million subscribers across more than 60 industries.
"A lot of people believe on-boarding ends when someone is sitting in their office," said Stefan Ries, chief human resources officer of SAP, opening last week's SuccessFactors SuccessConnect 2017 conference in London. "It doesn't stop there. You need to check it after 30 days, after 60 days, after 90 days."
Ries was brutal in his assessment of the failings of HR. But he was equally frank in what needed to be done, providing a roadmap for businesses that are ready to evolve in the way they manage employees. Even those who have moved from thinking of staff as customers had not caught up to the way other areas of their business were being disrupted.
He outlined the five key elements that matter most in the new HR roadmap:
1. "HR needs to deliver much more experience. Stop calling employers and managers customers; they are consumers. It's not only about employees, but also managers, contingent labour, the retired workforce, as well as new candidates. They all want to have a consumer experience. It's all about usability, simplification and performance. We need to think and act as if we're in a consumer business, and we must be ready for the next big thing: mobile and conversational HR.
2. "We in HR need to measure much more strongly our impact versus the activities we are performing. Within the cloud environment, you need to deliver HR services anytime, anywhere, on any device. If you can't do that, you won't attract talent from the younger generations. We have to understand how cloud services can help us to have high employee engagement and to be a more attractive employer of choice.
3. "We need to continue to get much more fluent in data analytics. We have the tools available. We are hiring data analysts in HR, and that job description didn't exist four or five years ago. Integration of machine learning is very important, but it's not in isolation or separate; it must be fully embedded.
4. "How jealous are we of the finance department? Business loves them because they have the numbers that define the business. We need to work hand in hand with them, and our numbers must be seen as an important business metric. Sales, marketing, finance and HR must all come together to enable us to make the right business decisions.
5. "Social media and social commitment really matters. In the solutions we offer, we must capture the needs of the younger generation. They are much more embedded in the social media environment. These generations have a clear determination in their minds that they need purpose in their jobs. What can they do to help the company make an impact and improve the way we live on this earth? We must continue to invest in corporate social responsibility."
Later, at a media briefing, Ries offered the flip side of the coin: how to look after the older generation that may feel left behind by digital transformation.
"On the one side you've got to listen to the younger generation, but on the other side have to pay attention to other generations. You have customers out there with managers and leaders in their 50s or 60s who may say, 'Why bother?'
"They will bother if they see the benefits, that they have to work for another 10 to 15 years and can experience the advantages of the new approach. And at home they are confronted with the same challenges with kids or in the broader family. The magic word is integration."
A company that seems to have got it right is the venerable automotive brand, Jaguar Land Rover.
"We thought we would have a lot of rejection of the whole concept, so we geared up for putting out fires, and over-supported people through the change," said Jon West, the company's director of manufacturing HR and employee relations.
"Actually, we found that there was a high level of acceptance," he told media at the SuccessConnect conference. "A significant amount of people in the organisation – forty per cent of employees – are older people who've been with us for a long time. But over time we brought in a lot of new people, and they were expecting this new approach. We're lucky we have such well-established, premium brands, and we have to make sure our HR practices do the brands justice."

Few weather systems can beat hurricanes for demonstrating the sheer power of Mother Nature. Because they can be deadly, it is important to understand hurricanes and know how to get ready for them. Here is a basic guide for hurricane safety.
Hurricanes are strong weather systems that form over oceans and that have sustained winds that are greater than 74 miles an hour. They usually form over warm tropical waters as the seawater evaporates and rises into the air causing a lower atmospheric pressure in the area that remains under the rising warm and wet air. Because of the pressure differential, winds form and the earth's rotation causes the winds to swirl, creating the familiar image of a swirling hurricane with a calm eye in the center.
The temperature of surface water must be at least 80 degrees for a hurricane to form, and the speed and direction between winds at the upper and lower parts of the storm must be relatively the same. Storms get stronger the longer they are over warm waters because more seawater can evaporate and create a greater difference in air pressure, which leads to more intense winds.
Hurricane strength is measured on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale, which indicates a storm's intensity from 1 to 5. A storm labeled category 1 has sustained winds between 74 and 95 miles per hour and causes only very minor damage. Category 5 hurricanes have winds in excess of 156 miles per hour and cause catastrophic damage.
What Do I Do Before Hurricane Season?
The images of damage from Hurricane Katrina in 2005 show that hurricanes must be taken seriously. Those who live in coastal areas should pay special attention to hurricanes and prepare themselves for the hurricane season long before it starts, as anywhere between 50 to 100 people die in the United States as a result of hurricanes in any three-year period. Such preparation involves making sure the family has a potential evacuation plan in place and knows where people will go to wait out the storm in case an evacuation is ordered. This plan must also include pets, for not every hurricane shelter will allow pets, and no one wants to show up at a shelter with a cat or dog and find that it cannot stay there with the family.
Hurricane preparedness also involves making sure that there are enough supplies to survive a period of time without electricity and water should the hurricane be devastating enough. Families should have about a week's supply of canned food and bottled water. Other essential materials include batteries and flashlights, a first-aid kit, and copies of important documents like birth certificates and insurance plans.

What Is the Difference Between a Hurricane Watch & a Hurricane Warning?
Fortunately, in this day and age hurricanes no longer take most people off guard. Government officials monitor conditions and issue hurricane watches and warnings if there is a real possibility of a hurricane making landfall. A hurricane watch is issued for a given area when there is a real possibility of hurricane conditions within 36 hours. Hurricane warnings are given when actual hurricane conditions are expected within a 24-hour period.
What Do I Do During a Hurricane Watch/Warning?
Those who have planned ahead need not worry too much once a hurricane watch or warning is issued. During a hurricane watch, outside items such as pool furniture, potted plants, and more should be secured or brought inside. This is also the time to begin boarding up windows or hanging hurricane shutters. It is also the last chance to make sure the family has enough supplies on hand to last through the hurricane and its immediate aftermath. This will also be the time to begin evacuating if an evacuation order is issued.
In a hurricane warning it is important to fill empty containers with water (for drinking) and turn the refrigerator and freezer to their coldest settings. This latter step will help keep perishable food longer once the power goes out. It is also important to pay attention to any government updates via battery-powered radios.
During a hurricane people, should stay away from doors and windows and continue listening to the radio for any updates. It is not safe to leave a building during the storm until the official all clear has been issued, so individuals must not be tempted to go outside if the winds have seemed to die down and no evacuation has been ordered. This may be the eye passing over, after which the winds will resume and be more powerful than before. Should a repair be necessary to preserve life, it should be attempted during the eye of the storm. Again, it must be a real emergency for a person to leave a building to make the repair.
Once the all clear has been officially issued, people may exit buildings and begin to take stock of the damage. No one should touch downed power lines as they may be live, and people can start to clear debris as long as it is not touching one of the lines. People will want to contact friends and family as soon as possible to let them know everyone has survived, and it will also be important to help neighbors. Contact the insurance company and take pictures of any damage to help with claim processing. Continue to pay attention to any governmental updates, as there will be advice on clean up and sometimes curfews are even declared.
Hurricanes and other extreme weather can't be controlled but the damage they cause can be limited. By utilizing this guide and planning ahead you could ensure your family's safety during even the most disastrous weather event.

Local News Story
Thursday, 2 December 2021 ( #1054 )
Flashback: LogiMAT 2018
LogiMAT postponed
Organisers of the LogiMAT trade show, scheduled for 8-10 March 2022, in Stuttgart, have postponed the event until 31 May – 2 June 2022.
EUROEXPO Messe- und Kongress-GmbH has worked closely with exhibitors in making the decision to push back the event in the wake of concerns about COVID-19.
"The current high level of case incidences is unsettling to everyone, including our exhibitors. This is understandable and cannot simply be ignored. That's why we are compelled once more to respond to the situation at hand. Our exhibitors need certainty for their planning, and that's difficult right now," explains Michael Ruchty, exhibition director of LogiMAT Stuttgart. "From today's perspective, it isn't clear whether it will be possible to host the full on-site event in March. The exhibitors would like to see an in-person event, but if vaccination rates remain too low and the resulting strain on hospital capacities leads once more to the introduction of stricter measures, then that's not in the interests of everyone involved. We must do everything we can to ensure that the event lives up to the understandable expectations of on-site exhibitors and visitors. That's why it's not surprising that many exhibitors explicitly support this postponement."
New Asian event added
The Southeast Asian edition of transport logistic and air cargo will take place in Marina Bay Sands, Singapore from 13 - 15 September 2023.
MMI Asia, the regional subsidiary of Messe Munchen (MMG), announced the dates together with key industry stakeholders Changi Airport Group, SATS Ltd and DHL Express. Organisers also signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Singapore Tourism Board.
This edition is the latest in the series of transport logistic and air cargo shows which include India, China, Turkey, the United States and the parent show in Munich.
AntwerpXL delayed
AntwerpXL, the breakbulk and heavy lift event, has been postponed from December 2021 to 4 – 6 October 2022.
The decision has been made in consultation with the community due to the announcement of COVID restrictions in Belgium. The situation looks likely to continue for the weeks ahead, directly impacting Easyfairs' ability to serve the industry in the best possible way.
Sophie McKimm, event manager of AntwerpXL, says: "After the success of the inaugural event, we know how valuable holding an event in person is to the industry. In an industry survey, over 82% of respondents chose a live exhibition similar to previous years as their preferred format for a future event, once safe to do so. We are confident that, with the new dates, we will achieve great success."

Hurley: Is The Patriots' Jimmy Garoppolo-Tom Brady Decision Really Being Revisited? Really?
Filed Under:Bill Belichick, Jimmy Garoppolo, Michael Hurley, New England Patriots, San Francisco 49ers, Sports News, Tom Brady
By Michael Hurley, CBS Boston
BOSTON (CBS) — I'll keep this brief, because … are you kidding me?
Perhaps you are, if "you" in this instance are a Boston sports radio yakker or just a person on Twitter or really anybody alive who wants to relitigate whether the trade of Jimmy Garoppolo was a good or bad thing for the New England Patriots.
Rather than ramble, let's get right to it.
Were the Patriots right to keep Tom Brady and trade Jimmy Garoppolo?
Y. E. S.
OK, story over, thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.
Jimmy Garoppolo, Tom Brady (Photo by Adam Glanzman/Getty Images)
Fine, I'll expound.
Of course, with the Patriots' long-term quarterback situation being a bit of a mystery at the moment, it would be easy to say that the Patriots would be much better off if the ever-handsome James Richard Garoppolo was under contract in New England for the next five years. Technically, that may end up being true.
But to look solely at that matter is to overlook some fairly important details.
Such as … making back-to-back Super Bowls with Tom Brady at quarterback.
Such as winning one of those Super Bowls, and only losing the other one because of a mystifying decision to bench a top defensive back who only would have needed to make one tackle in order for the outcome to have turned out differently.
Obviously, following this team in this market is different than following every other team in every other market. A ridiculous — and I mean ridiculous — run of success spread out over two decades tends to warp perspectives on what is normal and what is not normal. As such, a sixth Super Bowl victory for the Tom Brady-Bill Belichick duo can be brushed aside as "just one title" or some other absolutely foolish descriptor.
Just look down in Tampa, with Brady's new team. That franchise absolutely smells (respectfully) and has smelled for some time. Yet when you walk in the door, what do you see? A big shiny picture with a big fat Lombardi Trophy right in the middle of it:
Brady is in the building 🤩 pic.twitter.com/ujcPCKjuXd
— Tampa Bay Buccaneers (@Buccaneers) July 27, 2020
The Bucs won that Super Bowl at the end of the 2002 season. The Bucs have made it to the playoffs just twice in the 16 seasons that followed, losing their only two playoff games in that span. They haven't even made the playoffs since 2007, which … (checks calendar) … yes, confirmed, was a long time ago.
Yet the Tampa Bay Buccaneers still cherish that one Super Bowl victory from 18 years ago because SUPER BOWL VICTORIES ARE RARE AND ARE WORTH CHERISHING.
The New York Jets and the bulk of their fanbase would probably be willing to sacrifice at least one limb (maybe two) for a shot at winning a Super Bowl, as that moribund franchise hasn't even played in a Super Bowl since 1968. Ask a Jets fan if a trade that preceded back-to-back Super Bowl appearances and one Super Bowl victory was a bad one, and he'll probably throw fists.
At least the Jets have a Super Bowl trophy in a display case somewhere in Florham Park, though. The Bengals, the poor Bills, the Browns, the Cardinals, the Chargers, the Falcons, the Jaguars, the Lions, the Panthers, the Texans, the Titans and the Vikings have never won a Super Bowl. Ever. That's 37.5 percent of the 32-team league. Of those 12 teams, four of them have never even played in a Super Bowl.
That's just one reminder that WINNING A SUPER BOWL IS RARE AND IS WORTH CHERISHING.
The Packers — maybe the most stories franchise in the NFL — has won exactly one championship since Belichick started rewriting history in New England. They've only played in three Super Bowls since 1967, winning two of them. That's the GREEN BAY PACKERS we're talking about.
The Steelers — the league's other superpower — have played in four Super Bowls since 1980, winning two.
Now we're really going to sit here and gripe about something after the Patriots made back-to-back Super Bowls and won the last one, to cap off a stretch of making four Super Bowls in five years and winning three of them?
Stop it. Please.
Would the Patriots have made the Super Bowl in 2017 without Tom Brady? No, they would not have made the Super Bowl in 2017 without Tom Brady. The greatest postseason quarterback of all time had the greatest postseason of his career that year, throwing for 337 yards with three touchdowns and no picks vs. the Titans in the divisional round before throwing for 290 yards and two touchdowns against the Jaguars' top-ranked defense in the conference championship before setting a Super Bowl record with 505 yards and three touchdowns (no picks) in the Super Bowl loss to Philly.
But maybe that year is moot in terms of the Garoppolo trade, as the team could have kept Garoppolo that year and moved on from Brady in the offseason.
Here's a news flash for everyone: IT IS A GOOD THING THAT THE PATRIOTS DID NOT MOVE ON FROM TOM BRADY IN THE OFFSEASON. BECAUSE HE WENT OUT AND WON A SUPER BOWL.
Sure, the Patriots' adaptation of a run-heavy attack late in the year was the main offensive driver toward that championship. No doubt about it, the run game was important.
But the low-scoring Super Bowl vs. the Rams tend to cloud the memories of everyone who witnessed Brady complete over 77 percent of his passes while throwing for 343 yards and a touchdown vs. the Chargers (who were GOOD) in the divisional round. And somehow, some way, just because Brady didn't rack up a thousand touchdown passes and threw one admittedly grisly pick in the end zone, his unbelievable performance in a frigid Kansas City somehow gets forgotten.
After the Chiefs took a 21-17 lead in the middle of the fourth quarter, Brady completed 11 of his 19 passes for 137 yards, including three separate completions on third-and-10 in overtime to suck the souls out of the favored Chiefs.
The third one was pretty nice.
The Patriots' third third-and-10 of overtime. (Screen shot from NFL.com/GamePass)
That was the type of performance that would be held up as a legendary moment for any other sports city. Oil paintings of Brady tossing his helmet in elation would be commissioned. Statues would be built. Murals would adorn sports bar walls.

And instead of remembering Super Bowl LIII as a "boring" game with no offense, the same glorification of a picture-perfect game-winning pass from two of the greatest of all times would probably get some better treatment in terms of memorializing the moment.
Tom Brady concects with Rob Gronkowski to set up the only touchdown of Super Bowl LIII. (GIF from NFL.com/GamePass)
People don't celebrate like that in New England, though. Not anymore. The shock/surprise/elation of winning a championship deadened a bit over the years. Really, that's only natural when it happens as often as it did from 2001-18. It's nobody's fault.
So in New England, it was only a matter of time before we had to "debate" whether the Patriots should have kept Jimmy Garoppolo.
You understand this is madness, yes?
Even leaving aside Brady's post-Garoppolo-trade accomplishments (which is a stupid thing to do, but I'll play along), it's not as if Garoppolo has lit the world on fire. He's been … fine. Sure, he's won a ton, as evidenced by that 25-8 career record as a starting quarterback (playoffs included).
But when Garoppolo first started his winning ways in San Francisco, he threw six touchdowns and five picks in his five starts. He was 1-2 as a starter in 2018, completing under 60 percent of his passes while throwing five picks and three INTs. On a team without a ton of offensive talent, Garoppolo unsurprisingly didn't exactly shine before suffering his torn ACL.
Then came 2019. Garoppolo "went" 13-3 in the regular season and 2-1 in the playoffs. He was not bad. But he was not the engineer of that team by any stretch. The Niners ranked second in the NFL in rushing yards and first in rushing touchdowns. The Niners' defense was suffocating, ranking second in total yards allowed while boasting the league's No. 1 pass defense. Offensively, Raheem Mostert, Matt Breida and Tevin Coleman combined for 1,939 rushing yards and 15 rushing TDs. George Kittle emerged as the best all-around tight end in the NFL. Rookie receiver Deebo Samuel was a huge hit for GM John Lynch. Emmanuel Sanders turned back the clock.
Long story short, the 49ers were loaded. They didn't really need Garoppolo to be great. He had one great regular-season game (317 yards, 4 TDs, 0 INTs at the 5-10-1 Cardinals) and three above-average regular-season games (at New Orleans, at Cincinnati, and another one against the Cardinals). And come playoff time? They didn't even let the man throw the ball.
Garoppolo was 11-for-19 in the divisional round before going a ridiculous 6-for-8 (SIX FOR EIGHT!) in the conference championship.
When they finally needed Garoppolo to lift them with his arm, he went 3-for-11 for 36 yards with an interception and a fourth-down sack to lose the Super Bowl.
Garoppolo? He's fine. But nobody should make him out to be anything more than a scruffy, more handsome version of Kirk Cousins. Both men are absurdly rich for being … OK at quarterbacking.
For anyone bemoaning the Patriots not having Jimmy Garoppolo right now, I ask you this: Do you wish Kirk Cousins was the Patriots' quarterback?

— Michael Hurley (@michaelFhurley) October 22, 2020
It's a "story" this week because Garoppolo is visiting Foxboro, Brady is gone, the Brady succession plan was very bad before the Pats lucked into Cam Newton, and Newton is now struggling. Got it. OK.
But instead of measuring whether the Patriots were smart to keep the greatest quarterback ever and win a Super Bowl, some better questions would be whether the Patriots were smart to slowly erode on offense, forcing Brady to throw passes to Ryan Izzo, Matt LaCosse, Mohamed Sanu, a too-old Ben Watson, and undrafted rookies Jakobi Meyers and Gunner Olszewski in 2019. A better question might be whether the Patriots were wise to essentially spend two years nudging Brady toward the exit, ultimately failing to even try to re-sign him for 2020 or make a late push once free agency actually began.
The way that Tom Brady is playing down in Tampa, with a handful of highly gifted offensive weapons and an organization eager to shape itself around Brady's unparalleled championship drive, it surely is an indication that the quarterback has plenty of NFL life left. While "on pace" stats rarely — if ever — line up with eventual reality, it's nevertheless worth noting that Brady is on pace to throw 13 more touchdowns than he did a year ago. His completion rate has gone up 3.3 percentage points, and his passer rating has jumped by a tick under 10 points.
The man can still sling the pigskin. The fact that he's no longer doing it for the Patriots has just about nothing to do with Jimmy Garoppolo and his million dollar smile.
Questions of mishandling the end of the GOAT's career in New England are more apt in this situation. Likewise, questions about how in the world a Patriots succession plan of Jarrett Stidham and Brian Hoyer was in the cards until Cam Newton fell into their lap ought to be asked. But whether the team failed by getting rid of Jimmy Garoppolo? Come on. If the Patriots turn into every other football team and go a long time without winning another championship, that question will only look more foolish as time goes on.
Perhaps that's too nuanced of a take in a market like this during a week like this, when many observers are getting a little ticked off at the 2-3 Patriots. But it shouldn't be. Unless you want to give this back.

Didn't think so.
OK. Maybe I didn't quite keep that one short. That's my bad. But no, keeping Tom Brady and moving on from Jimmy Garoppolo is not really much of a debate point. Acting like it is worth debating is nothing more than participating in intentional acts of bozoism.
I thank you for your time.

Terminals Pump Station Terminal
East pump station is a location in Fallout: New Vegas, east of NCR sharecropper farms.monorail track system.
2.1 East pump station
2.2 East cistern
This location is of paramount importance to the New California Republic, because it is responsible for filtering the water being pumped along the giant water pipe from Lake Las Vegas and Lake Mead, and then delivering it into the NCR sharecropper farms.[1] The water itself however is being irradiated by the leaking reactor within Vault 34.[2]
The station is easily identifiable thanks to its tower and pipe connections to the main water pipe line and another burrowing towards the sharecropper farms.
The interior consists of an office room used by workers for breaks, storing their personal belongings and preparing for work, together with a control terminal on the desk. The terminal can be fixed with Science 50 and provides information about the water supply, starting Hard Luck Blues. The pump room beyond contains the main pumps together with a variety of toolboxes, but has no major items.
This is one of several locations containing references to Dead Money: There's a large poster advertising the Sierra Madre near the lockers, with two postcards tacked on the board by the computer. There's also a poster advertising Dean Domino's performance in pre-War Vegas.
East cistern
Located next to the front entrance of the pump station, the cistern is similar to the other cisterns with only one room littered with junk, low level loot and in the middle the cistern itself, which can be drank from. Of the low level loot, there are 2 Nuka-Colas and a Fixin' Things by a broken terminal.
Fixin' Things: In the cistern, by the broken terminal.
Hard Luck Blues: The quest to solve the problems with the reactor starts by activating this terminal.
Xbox 360 PC PlayStation 3 The trigger for marking this location as visited is not at or near the door. Instead it is between the East Pump Station itself and the adjacent East Cistern, in the area where the pipe passes between the two building.
Xbox 360 When you try to look at the computer, the image will just be blurry and then when you exit out, all of your scoped weapons (when you zoom in) it will just show a computer screen. This can easily be fixed by resetting the console.
The east pump station appears only in Fallout: New Vegas.
↑ Fallout: New Vegas Official Game Guide Collector's Edition p.315: "[2.21] East Pump Station
This location is of paramount importance to the NCR, because it is responsible for filtering the water being pumped along the giant water pipe from Lake Las Vegas [3.22], and then into the Sharecropper Farms [2.20]. There are actually two buildings: the East Cistern, and the facility itself, plus two nearby Manhole Covers allowing access into the sewers [U2]. Inside the cistern is a Water Tower Valve (allowing you to sip clean water), and a blown-out terminal with a Magazine next to it."

In the 1980s, at the height of the Cold War, a bloody civil war between the socialist-influenced Sandinistas and U.S.- backed Contras ravaged Nicaragua. Despite the danger, thousands of Americans disobeyed White House warnings and descended upon the Central American nation, determined to lend their skills and labor to the revolutionary Sandinista cause.
Using an eclectic mixture of rare archival footage, arresting still photography, and contemporary interviews, American/Sandinista tells the story of a small group of controversial U.S. engineers who went further than anyone expected, and paid the ultimate price.

When a Country is Open, Do They Have Strong Science Too?
As no scientist is an island, the overall scientific enterprise grows stronger when people work together. But, an interesting question emerges from this concept for us to explore: how can we quantify the effect of collaboration on productivity and impact on science?
bibliometrics, publications
Patents and the Relative Citation Ratio: Correlations to Assess NIH Impact
We previously referenced Ioannidis' and Khoury's "PQRST" mnemonic for describing research impact: "P" is productivity, "Q" is quality, "R" is reproducibility, "S" is sharing, and "T" is translation. We wrote several blogs about "P," productivity, focusing on publications, citations, and more recently the relative citation ratio. Now we'll focus on a different kind of "P" for productivity, namely patents (which arguably are also related to "T" for translation). …. Do NIH-supported papers that are cited by patents have a higher Relative Citation Ratio than those that are not cited by patents? As a refresher, the Relative Citation Ratio uses citation rates to measure the influence of a publication at the article level…. We identified 119,674 unique NIH grants that were funded between 1995 and 2007 and that generated at least one publication….

Applications, Resubmissions, and the Relative Citation Ratio
Measuring the impact of NIH grants is an important input in our stewardship of research funding. One metric we can use to look at impact, discussed previously on this blog, is the relative citation ratio (or RCR). This measure – which NIH has made freely available through the iCite tool – aims to go further than just raw numbers of published research findings or citations, by quantifying the impact and influence of a research article both within the context of its research field and benchmarked against publications resulting from NIH R01 awards.
In light of our more recent posts on applications and resubmissions, we'd like to go a step further by looking at long-term bibliometric outcomes as a function of submission number. In other words, are there any observable trends in the impact of publications resulting from an NIH grant funded as an A0, versus those funded as an A1 or A2? And does that answer change when we take into account how much funding each grant received? ….

Following up on the Research Commitment Index as a Tool to Describe Grant Support
Many thanks for your terrific questions and comments to last month's post, Research Commitment Index: A New Tool for Describing Grant Support. I'd like to use this opportunity to address a couple of key points brought up by a number of commenters; in later blogs, we'll focus on other suggestions.
The two points I'd like to address here are: 1) why use log-transformed values when plotting output (annual weighted relative citation ratio, or annual RCR) against input (annual research commitment index, or annual RCI), and 2) what is meant by diminishing returns. ….

Applying the Relative Citation Ratio as a Measure of Grant Productivity
Last April we posted a blog on the measurement of citation metrics as a function of grant funding. We focused on a group of R01 grants and described the association of a "citation percentile" measure with funding. We noted evidence of "diminishing returns" – that is increased levels of funding were associated with decreasing increments of productivity – an observation that has been noted by others as well.
We were gratified by the many comments we received, through the blog and elsewhere. Furthermore, as I noted in a blog last month, our Office of Portfolio Analysis has released data on the "Relative Citation Ratio," (or RCR) a robust field-normalized measure of citation influence of a single grant (and as I mentioned, a measure that is available to you for free).
In the follow-up analysis I'd like to share with you today, we focus on a cohort of 60,447 P01 and R01-equivalent grants (R01, R29, and R37) which were first funded between 1995 and 2009. Through the end of 2014, these grants yielded at least 654,607 papers. We calculated a "weighted RCR" value for each grant, ….

Measuring Impact of NIH-supported Publications with a New Metric: the Relative Citation Ratio
In previous blogs, we talked about citation measures as one metric for scientific productivity. Raw citation counts are inherently problematic – different fields cite at different rates, and citation counts rise and fall in the months to years after a publication appears. Therefore, a number of bibliometric scholars have focused on developing methods that measure citation impact while also accounting for field of study and time of publication. We are pleased to report that on September 6, PLoS Biology published a paper from our NIH colleagues in the Office of Portfolio Analysis on "The Relative Citation Ratio: A New Metric that Uses Citation Rates to Measure Influence at the Article Level." Before we delve into the details and look at some real data, ….

Citations Per Dollar as a Measure of Productivity
NIH grants reflect research investments that we hope will lead to advancement of fundamental knowledge and/or application of that knowledge to efforts to improve health and well-being. In February, we published a blog on the publication impact of NIH funded research. We were gratified to hear your many thoughtful comments and questions. Some of you suggested that we should not only focus on output (e.g. highly cited papers), but also on cost – or as one of you mentioned "citations per dollar." Indeed, my colleagues and I have previously taken a preliminary look at this question in the world of cardiovascular research. Today I'd like to share our exploration of citations per dollar using a sample of R01 grants across NIH's research portfolio. What we found has an interesting policy implication for maximizing NIH's return on investment in research. ….
Publication Impact of NIH-funded Research – A First Look
In a recent PNAS commentary, Daniel Shapiro and Kent Vrana of Pennsylvania State University, argue that "Celebrating R and D expenditures badly misses the point." Instead of focusing on how much money is spent, the research enterprise should instead focus on its outcomes – its discoveries that advance knowledge and lead to improvements in health.
Of course, as we've noted before, measuring research impact is hard, and there is no gold standard. But for now, let's take a look at one measure of productivity, namely the publication of highly-cited papers. Some in the research community suggest that a research paper citation is a nod to the impact and significance of the findings reported in that paper – in other words, more highly-cited papers are indicative of highly regarded and impactful research.
If considering highly-cited papers as a proxy for productivity, it's not enough that we simply count citations, because publication and citation behaviors differ greatly among fields – some fields generate many more citations per paper. ….


Obituary for Sadie Loraine (Nelson) Thompson | Allen Brothers Mortuary, Inc.
Sadie Loraine (Nelson) Thompson, 96, of San Marcos, California, passed away on November 12, 2018, in her home.
A Memorial Service will be held at 11:30 A.M. on Saturday, December 8, 2018, at San Marcos Lutheran Church located at 3419 Grand Ave, San Marcos, CA 92078. Pastor Karla Halvorson will be officiating. Inurnment will follow in the church at the columbarium wall.

We offer Powerfull Key Features
Retail is one of the fastest growing sectors in the world right now. But as the sector grows, so do the problems in managing it. The retail sector is made up of a series of sub-sectors and managing them efficiently is imperative to maintain or increase the profits. Fortunately, ERP in Retail industry could be the solution.
The biggest flaw would be the delay in information propagation, which in turn causes the delay in overall operations and loss of efficiency. Our system seeks and distributes real-time information to all the relevant units, leaving no scope for error or delay.
ERP in retail could play a vital role in customer management and retention. As you know, ERP operates on information; information that can be vital once you analyze it. For instance, you can sort the purchase history of customers and pick the most active ones, showering them reward points.
Inventory management is a very critical problem in retail because both excess inventory and inability to meet the demand can lead to financial losses. Our ERP system ensures you know exactly what is present in your inventory and which items are going to run out of stock. It also tracks the shelf life and notifies if any product is about to expire.
Point-of-Sale System
Our solution now come integrated with the PoS machines (both hardware and software), which is a big reason behind real-time data. In simple words, ERP takes the advantage of PoS machines one step further: all transactional data is reflected immediately not just in the retail outlets, but in the central ERP tool too.
E-Commerce Integration
Like PoS machines, e-commerce integration allows the ERP tool to get access to real-time data about transactions. This data can then be used for inventory management, demand forecasting etc.
This feature allows you to perform analytics on customer trends and past sales. It gives you insights into what products have been popular and what haven't, which helps you in deciding which product you should promote and which you must discard. The various factors associated with sales, like pricing, discounts, sales offers etc., can be improved with ERP.
