Cerebral palsy is a neurological disorder that affects the normal life and development of affected kids. Although there is no cure for this condition, stem cell therapy trials show positive outcomes of brain development and improved quality of life. In India, a Mumbai-based hospital provides stem cell treatment for kids affected with cerebral palsy.
Cerebral Palsy – How it affects normal life?
Cerebral palsy is usually caused by abnormal brain development or brain injury occurred prior to birth. In rare cases, it occurs during birth complications which accounts to 10% of cerebral palsy cases. This condition causes physical impairment – affect the muscles and the ability to control them, the movement of arms, legs and face, stiffness and pain in the limbs restricting the normal functions of the limbs and causes awkward positions. The fluctuation of muscle contractions in the patients cause trembling and shaking of limbs.
Kids with cerebral palsy may find it difficult to walk, sit or tie their shoe laces. Some may even find it difficult to grasp objects or raise their hands. What we consider as normal day-to-day activity seems like a milestone achievement in the lives of patients affected with cerebral palsy.
The severity of this condition varies depending on the degree of injury; one patient might experience complete paralysis and need constant care while other might have slight movement and require minimum assistance. They undergo extensive physiotherapy and occupational therapy sessions to cope with everyday routine.
In the last two decades, researchers have identified numerous potential therapeutic applications of stem cells. At present, there is a wide array of clinical trials happening across the world using stem cell therapy to treat genetic, metabolic and blood related conditions. In the recent times, there are various studies conducted to see if the stem cells have potential to improve the lives of patients who are affected with neurodegenerative disorders.
Researchers believe that stem cell therapy can be used to treat neurological disorders like autism, cerebral palsy and muscular dystrophy. The therapy involves injecting the patient's own stem cells into their body which can help in the rejuvenation of brain cells, thus controlling the severity of the symptoms. Usually, the stem cells are extracted from the patient's bone marrow and injected near the brain and spinal cord so that the cells can quickly heal the injured region of the brain. In some clinical trials, umbilical cord stem cells of the patients are preferred as scientists believe these young and pristine stem cells have better chance.
Recently, a clinical trial for cerebral palsy was conducted by Duke University in North Carolina, United States using umbilical cord blood stem cells. LifeCell has released 3 of the preserved cord blood units to the respective families in order participate in the trial.
Till date, LifeCell has released many umbilical cord stem cell samples for transplants. Click here to know more about our transplant matrix.
According to 'The Hindu', Neurogen Brain and Spine Institute (NBSI), a Mumbai based facility provided stem cell therapy to an 8 year old boy, Narayana. He underwent 2 sessions of stem cell transplant on November 2014 and September 2015 using his own stem cells. Dr. Alok Srivastav, Director of NBSI mentioned that the boy's stiffness has reduced and the IQ levels have improved. Although, it is not a cure, the therapy helps in managing the symptoms of cerebral palsy. He believes that stem cell therapy can help the patients lead a better life. The boy's physiotherapist said that the treatment results are amazing for Narayana.

Aiming towards the power system of the future
Connecting renewable forms of energy to the grid involves challenges that Fingrid tackles with R&D projects. New solutions are used to ensure the security of the energy supply and cost-effectiveness during the global energy revolution.
Aurora pyramids – the world's northernmost virtual power plant
Tourism company Hullu Poro is introducing a virtual power plant service in Kittilä to enable connections to reserve markets, which balance out electricity generation and consumption. The Aurora Pyramids suites have recently been connected to the service. The solution helps support sustainable development, but the company also benefits financially.
Solar electricity in every home?
The writer is a non-fiction author and inventor who does a lot of teaching and expert work in the energy industry. Janne Käpylehto has also worked with mathematical software at NASA. Janne likes to sail his floating sauna to Tallinn in the summer and make ice carousels in the winter.
What is inertia?
The increase in renewable energy and the connection of wind and solar power to the grid have raised discussion about the concept of inertia. Fingrid's Senior Expert Minna Laasonen explains what's going on.
On behalf of the environment
Solar power is completely emission-free electricity, which means that using it reduces carbon dioxide emissions. Providing the chance to charge an electric car encourages cleaner transport. Fingrid now has both.
Sustainability with electric cars
Finland is also beginning to notice the benefit of electric transport.
Utilising open data in the energy market
More accurate device and load-specific consumption profiles and different types of open data will make it possible to optimise dimensioning of the existing energy system in the most economically feasible manner. The starting points for utilising open data in the energy market are very attractive, as nearly all customers have electricity meters that can be read in real time.
The house of Kaija Niskala, Service Manager for energy accounting and guarantees of origin, sports solar panels on its roof, producing electricity not only for her family but also for others.

Container freight rates expected to continue rising
Posted by Admin on October 27, 2003 0 Comment
THERE is more good news for container shipping lines as more industry research points to a sustained recovery of freight rates through at least 2004, aided in a large part by the 'China effect'.
In its latest supply and demand report, Containerisation International said freight rates on the dominant legs of the world's top trade lanes are expected to continue rising at least through the end of 2004.
In a prelude to the peak summer months, second quarter freight rates on the Asia to Europe trade jumped 42% over the same period last year on the back of westbound utilization rates averaging 81% over the first half this year. This is expected to rise to 96% over the second half.
While this brought average rates on the trade up to US$1,570 per TEU, the report noted that this level is only now reaching the levels last seen before the slump of the first quarter of 2002. Utilization rates are expected to remain similarly buoyant through 2004.
"As freight rate levels drive ocean carrier profitability, the industry looks set for further recovery," it said.
Much of the industry's recovering health has been a product of China's extraordinary growth, which saw its exports climb more than 32% over the first nine months this year, compared to a year earlier to US$307.7 billion while imports were up a full 40.5% to US$298.6 billion.
Calling this the 'China effect' the report's author Matthew Beddow said: "Whilst the extraordinary growth in exports from China at the beginning of last year caught everyone by surprise, we believe that this year's predictions are much more reliable."
Last year's surprise was due to the expectation among industry watchers that cargo growth would continue to be dominated primarily by consumer demand.
"The effects of offshoring, involving the transfer of production overseas, in this case to China, were not clearly quantifiable. The picture today is very different, enabling analysts to predict the future much more accurately," he said.
Executive managing director of international consulting at Global Insights and a contributor to the report, Ben Hackett commented: "Historically, it was always a safe bet to use the rule of thumb that, for the G7 countries, GDP growth x 2.5 equated growth in trade.
"For the Asian tigers, we tended towards a factor of 4. During a recession, the measure became less clear. But all of that has had to be adjusted now, to help explain what has been happening in China."The report also noted that the China effect has not only affected services to and from Asia but the other major trades as well. Citing the 10 new transpacific services which deployed over 50 additional vessels on the Pacific to cater for this year's peak season, the report said this move helped to soak up surplus tonnage that could otherwise have been dumped in other trades, such as the transatlantic.
"Without this, maintaining a sensible balance between supply and demand in these other trades would have been impossible, and freight rates would have fallen," it concluded.
And despite the additional tonnage put on the transpacific, the report noted that the average eastbound vessel utilisation during the first half this year remained respectable at around 84%. This level is expected to be maintained through 2004. Westbound utilization, however, currently languishes at around 36%.


DNV GL Fuel Fighter drove in to a second place during the 2018 Shell Eco-marathon in Europe. The results from the competition was enough to beat all the other cars in Shell Eco-marathon Asia and America, which led us to become the second most fuel efficient car in the world in the UrbanConcept Battery-electric class.
Yes, you read right. If the car drove on gasoline instead of electric batteries, it would need 0.3 L of gasoline to drive from NTNU in Trondheim, and all the way down to Oslo. The overall distance is 500 km. This all melts down to an energy efficiency of 176 km/kWh.
DNV GL Fuel Fighter is not only about trying to make the best and most fuel efficient car. We are so much more than just that. DNV GL Fuel Fighter is a group of 40 students who are celebrating Halloween together, racing in Go Karts, shooting at each other with Lazer Tag and much, much more. The team is more like a group of friends.
On the other side, you will gain tremendous amounts of knowledge while being a part of the team. If you think you need to have a lot of background experience and knowledge, you're wrong. The team consist of student from multiple different studies, years and backgrounds. Even students from first year. We don't expect you to be an expert on the field, or even to know how to build a car. The only expectation we have for the members is that they have to be willing to learn and be dedicated to the work.
Do you want to join the DNV GL Fuel Fighter team? We will take in new members in January 2019 and August 2019. Keep track with us on our homepage or on social media if you want to be kept updated.
Unsure if you want to join or not? If you are uncertain, ask yourself this: Are you a student who want to get a unique experience with engineering, teamwork, meet plenty of new friends and maybe do some marketing or work with the homepage? If the answer is "Yes", then you should apply.


Ok, so I'm a little bit late getting this out there, but WOW this was a brilliant pre wedding photo shoot I shot back in the summer in the fields and nature reserve around Gosfield. It stars Shannon & Scott two absolutely lovely people, such a great couple.
They are actually married now, they got married in October at The White Hart in Great Yeldham, but I will blog about that another time.
I had noticed the wheat fields some weeks previously and thought they would make a great location for a couples shoot, I also wanted to photograph when there would be some nice light. As any portrait photographer will tell you, nice light, great location, and good looking couple are all the key ingredients for some wonderful portrait photos. So the time chosen was around an hour before sunset, known as the golden hour to photographers.
Shannon and Scott were both very relaxed in front of the camera and without a doubt they both had fun and enjoyed the experience.
I hope you like the photos, please feel free to share this post or to write a comment in the box below.


Email Design & Coding (Marketo) for the Military Officer's Association of America's (MOAA) on-boarding series.
MOAA supports officers from the junior to senior ranks, and presented us with the challenge of designing two sets of emails to best reach the full spectrum of their members. We completely revamped their former template style in favor of high-impact colors to distinguish their emails, and altered content to best appeal to each segment.


I've been familiar with Furless Cosmetics for a while now and own their Pro Brush Set as part of my makeup kit so when they contacted me asking to send me some goodies, obviously i jumped at the chance.
After talking with Coralie she decided to send a Black Beauty Brush Set for review and also a Perfectly Pink Brush Set as a giveaway item (stay tuned for info). They contain slightly different brush selections but essentially both are complete travel sets each with 8 brushes and a sturdy case.
Thinking it would take 80 days to get here, Jules Verne style, i was super surprised when the sets arrived in less than 10 days.
The Black Beauty Brush Set has shiny black handles and a gorgeous aqua tip. Use this set to create any look on the go - throw in your bag for holidays and travel.
Pretty much in love with this case. It zips the entire way around and just feels so nice.
The zipper doesn't catch or snag and the brushes are held securely in place with perfectly sized spaces.
The inside feels like a tough weave nylon so would wipe clean if you put brushes in there dirty.
Super chic and simple, i'd probably use it for other brushes, too.
At first i thought this brush was fairly small for a powder brush but its actually a really nice size for both full face applications and smaller areas, too.
Worked well for powder foundation and setting powders.
Also great for bronzing, blush and highlighting.
Picks up product easily and makes easy work of blending.
I loved this one for cheek contour, it was just the right size, density and softness. Easy to get a defined line and great for blending.
A little small for blush use for my liking but some might like it for that.
Also great for controlled bronzer application.
Didn't like this for BB/ tinted moisturizer application as i felt it absorbed too much of the product and i prefer a fluffier brush for that.
For a higher coverage foundation i really liked it, really easy to get in around the nose, hairline and eyes.
Applied under eye concealer really quickly and easily.
I never like using this style of brush for eyeshadow so i didn't even bother trying that.
I did, however, like it for under eye concealer and setting.
Great size for nose contour, too.
At first i thought this felt too concealer like to be good for packing on color but... i was wrong.
Worked well for regular eyeshadows and pigments.
Picks up plenty of product and applies really smoothly.
The stiffness is great for controlled highlight application under the brow.
Very similar to the Anastasia Small Angled Cut Brush, my favorite for brows.
Easy to define brows and do small hair-like brush strokes.
Also great for gel eyeliner and made really easy work of application.
Strangely i also applied my lip tar with it because i prefer flat or angled liner brushes for that instead of lip brushes. Much easier to get a crisp line and applies quicker.
Definitely a lot smaller than what i'd usually use.
Very easy to blend with for a transition shade or a more defined crease application.
Great size for defining lower lashes too.
Also works well for nose contour & highlight because of its size.
Not usually my preferred brush to use with gel liner but it actually worked really well.
Stiff enough to make a sharp line but soft enough for eye use.
Great for a really thin, sharp line right up to a thicker cat eye.
Really impressed with this travel kit and managed to do my entire face using only these brushes.
Although a few aren't ordinarily the brushes i'd use for certain tasks, thats not to say others wouldn't love them, its really all personal preference on these because the quality certainly isn't lacking.
I already loved this brand and i'm always surprised that they're not more popular. Although they're an Australian brand their brushes always seem to arrive really quickly (the 2 packages i've received from them at least) and the pricing is comparable to Sigma.
I'd recommend these to beginners, beauty junkies and professionals because of how easy they make things and how well they've lasted me previously.


Star Wars, the worldwide movie phenomenon, released its 8th theatrical instalment on December 15. The Last Jedi will be by far the greatest box-office success of the year, but at what cost?
Does this most bankable franchise deliver for moviegoers? Will loyal fans who grew up dreaming of becoming Jedis feel appreciated?
Also, this film has a decidedly intentional stance on religion and tradition — but does that work?
Good review. My family and I have abandoned the PC Star Wars universe and have not spent any $ on it for quite a while. I am content with 4/5/6 and will watch them again for the 50th time shortly. Also, the Zahn novels and X-Wing Rogue Squadron books (et al) are a good alternative to these new, shallow flics.
I enjoyed Star Wars. It's the first time I found myself in a cinema with leather seats and lazyboy controls. Crashed out after Princess Leah was sucked into space, and woke up with the end credits rolling. So refreshing! The bonus is my brother and kids loved it, and I didn't get exposed to a bunch of leftist pantheistic malarkey. 3 stars.
As far as I'm concerned the Star Wars saga ended when Disney bought it. The first 3 movies were about adventure & coming of age. The 3 prequels were about politics & treaties – interesting for fans of the series but generally boring. Since then it's been Star Wars: SJW – absolute crap.
I went with my kids (some of them), I had too, I was obliged because I am a man.
I know this series can be appreciated by women and girls but it usually isn't, at least the girls and women I hang out with. I have 10 kids, 4 boys, 6 girls, I took some of them to this film and my daughter didn't like it at all. She likes action movies, Thor, Avengers etc. Just not this one.
I want films to be made for men again. Things exploding, good action, good acting, good stories, good fights (not gory though) I don't mind seeing women as the heroes once in a while BUT ALL THE TIME NOW??? I cant take it.
All the bad guys basically were white-British (European) men. All the good guys were a diverse mixture of everything under the sun.
I no longer attend movies created in Hollywood!
Ben, my wife and I went to see the Darkest Hour today. It is an excellent movie, great acting, great cinematography, great sets, and great lines. I disagree with you that the Blade Runner will be the best movie of 2017 (which I saw), but, rather, Darkest Hour, which is also so appropriate for our dark times. Watching Darkest Hour gave me a better understanding of how desperate the times were then. I like the line by Churchill dismissing someone as "a sheep in sheep's clothing", which sadly is applicable to so many politicians in our time.
Probably will not receive many accolades from the left, because they likely will hate the movie. On December 18th, President Trump invited lawmakers to the White House for a screening of Darkest Hour. Such a screening would never have happened under the previous president. In fact when Obama became president he had a bust of Churchill in the Oval Office sent back to Britain. President Donald Trump restored the bust of Winston Churchill to the Oval Office immediately after assuming the presidency.
After the last Star Wars debacle, I'm not spending my money on this franchise anymore. I found it to be disappointing #SCHLOCK last time, and I'm not investing another centime.

I'm forever writing down lists of things to do. On a daily basis I try to write down (and tick) the things I did for that particular day. It gives me a peace of mind that I did something for that day, no matter how small it is.
So when it comes to budgeting, I write down my "needs" first and later the "wants".
For instance, a need is my rent. Then there's my car finance and groceries. Under my groceries list, I'd have needs for my two-year-old daughter first, like her porridge and nappies. I even set an amount/ budget for groceries. Let's say, if the groceries amount is R700 then I buy the needs first, which is my little girl's items like the nappies.
Since I'm doing freelance work now (I was retrenched in March), I've decided that my child going to crèche (nursery school) is a want. She's therefore staying at home with me until I better my income.
That was the important part for me the past few months – to identify the "wants" from the "needs". Sometimes a "want" can seem like a "need".
Since I've been unemployed, I've also made arrangements with my bank on how I will pay off my car finance.
I'm paying lesser than the instalment for three months, but I have to pay back the arrears when I get back on my feet. This is important because it affects my credit record at the end of the day.
It's always important to have money left over to use for unforeseen circumstances, like travelling to an unexpected job interview, for example.
Another unexpected thing that might come up, especially in Winter is the need to go to the pharmacy to get medicine.
You must decide what is deemed as an emergency (unforeseen circumstance) that you will use your "left over" money for.
I've realised that with this that I want to save money and in the end pay off my debt, it all has to do with my mindset. My mindset determines what's important and what's less important.
How do you do your budget? And in what ways do you save money?
Budgeting is not my strong suit but it's so important! I wish I was better at it!

Illinois ranks high in economic development projects
By Steve Eighinger Herald-Whig
Posted: Mar. 18, 2018 12:01 am
For the second straight year, Illinois ranks third in the nation for its number of economic development projects.
Site Selection magazine's annual Governor's Cup awards indicate that Illinois ranks behind only Texas and Ohio. The publication ranks all 50 states according to their success in attracting capital investment projects that meet such criteria as a minimal investment of $1 million, creation of 50 or more jobs, and new facility construction or floor space of at least 20,000 square feet.
"We are constantly in contact with new companies looking to expand or locate within Illinois," said CEO Mark Peterson of Intersect Illinois, a statewide private economic development organization, in a news release.
Intersect Illinois collaborates with multiple economic development organizations throughout the state.
"The excitement and optimism about the potential that exists within our boarders is palpable," Peterson said. "We will continue to work with our partners to capitalize on our accomplishments and bring more success to Illinois."
The top 10 states in the number of economic development projects for 2017 were:
1. Texas, 594 projects.
2. Ohio, 467.
3. Illinois, 419.
4. Georgia, 281.
5. North Carolina, 274.
6. California, 262.
7. Kentucky, 248.
8. Pennsylvania, 285.
9. Virginia, 164.
10. Indiana, 162.
(Note: Missouri had 129.)

We had a great time at the Farmer's Market. Met some wonderful people. Learned a lot. And even sold a bit of soap. Her is our tea party themed booth, close up.
Other than the bunting not a lot of sewing got done last week. This week my sisters, one from Austin the other from Cupertino are flying in with there families. So not a lot of sewing will get done this week either. So I'm taking a little blogging break. I'll be back in a week.
Feel free to link up with your progress though. I'll catch up when things slow down.
Your display looks great. Hope you at least made back the cost of the vender fee. Have fun with the family, we'll see you next Monday!
Great looking display! Have a wonderful time!
Have a fun week with family.
Great display! I really need to make me a bunting! Enjoy your family time!

SUB.CO to launch new subsea cable between Oman and Australia
24 October 2019 | Natalie Bannerman
SUB.CO has announced it has selected Subcom to build a new international subsea cable system that will directly connect Muscat, Oman to Perth, Australia.
The new system, called Oman Australia Cable (OAC), will be the only express cable continental Australia and EMEA, delivering the first secure, diverse and low latency route between the two continents.
Designed as a three fibre pair system, OAC has th option to upgrade to four fibre pairs based on demand and will span approximately 9,700km with additional branching units designed to extend the system into Salalah, Oman and Djibouti sometime in the future.
"I am delighted to be building a new, express route providing diversity and low latency between Australia and EMEA, while at the same time avoiding some of the challenges associated with building through the shallows of the Sunda Strait and busy South China Sea," said Bevan Slattery (pictured), founder of SUB.CO. "For me, the Oman Australia Cable is the final piece of an important puzzle to improve Australia's resiliency and recognises the growing importance of Oman in becoming the new "Cloud hub" in EMEA."
As illustrated in the route map OAC will not pass through the Sunda Strait or South China Sea, avoiding many of the issues experienced by other cable in the area. As such OAC will form part of a new "Great Southern Route" between continental US, Australia and EMEA.
The new express route comes in response to the growing investment being made in Perth in submarine cables and cloud hosting facilities. This year alone, three new submarine cable systems have been completed (ASC, Indigo West and Indigo Central) and two new major data centre facilities have also been commissioned (NEXTDC P2 and Equinix PE2).
"OAC will be highly complementary to the recent submarine cables between Perth and Singapore as well as Indigo Central, which will be used to extend OAC to Australia's cloud capital, Sydney" added Slattery.
The decision to land the system in Oman was also driven by investment from cloud, network and data centre providers. Muscat in Oman has 15 submarine cables terminating today and will soon have a new Equinix facility being operated under joint venture between Equinix and Omantel.
"Speaking with customers and potential customers, it has become apparent the industry has selected Oman as the key hub for EMEA and the gateway between Asia, the Middle East, Europe and Africa. Having visibility to the upcoming investment by major cloud providers in the region is only going to further enhance Oman's position for the foreseeable future," continued Slattery.
OAC will commence manufacturing later this year and is due to be completed by December 2021.

Categories Tropical Weather
Atlantic Hurricane Season has significantly ramped up recently, thanks to a deep MJO wave moving over the Caribbean region and the Gulf of Mexico. Tropical Storm Fred was the 4th U.S. mainland landfall of the season on Monday. Grace grazed Haiti and disturbed rescue efforts, continues to impact Jamaica, while Henri forms near Bermuda. The main focus is now the Tropical Storm Grace with the potential to become a hurricane before the landfall in the Yucatan Peninsula, then turns towards the Gulf of Mexico late this week.
The general upper-level weather pattern is now very favorable for tropical development, supported by a much above normal warmth of the Atlantic Ocean with the Caribbean Sea and a deep MJO wave aloft.
Fred and Grace both developed in the tropical western Atlantic just a few days after the official release of the recent NOAA seasonal outlook, which warns about an even more active Atlantic Hurricane Season in the coming weeks. After Tropical Storm Fred's landfall in Florida Panhandle, there is now a potentially more dangerous tropical system in focus.
Tropical Storm Grace continues west-northwest across the northern Caribbean, with its center moving along the northern portions of Jamaica resulting in a significant rainfall impact on the country. While Tropical Storm Henri, the 8th system of the season, is ongoing near Bermuda.
Tropical storm conditions are possible over Jamaica and the southern coast of Cuba through Tuesday night, spreading westward to the Cayman Islands and possibly other portions of the southern coast of Cuba through Wednesday morning.
But there is an increased risk of wind, rainfall, and storm surge impacts on the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico Wednesday night and Thursday when Grace moves into much warmer seas of the northwestern Caribbean which will boost the intensity towards the hurricane strength before it makes landfall in the northern Yucatan.
Besides the current tropical activity ongoing, the latest forecast update by NOAA predicts an even higher potential for an above-normal Atlantic hurricane season this year. NOAA's forecast calls for a 65 % probability that a very active period of storms will develop throughout the upcoming peak of the hurricane season, supported by both very warm Atlantic waters and the returning La-Nina.
ATLANTIC HURRICANE SEASON ENTERS VERY ACTIVE MODE
There are three tropical systems ongoing, as the Atlantic hurricane season enters into higher gear recently. Fred made landfall in Florida on Monday, Tropical Storm Grace continues across the northern Caribbean after grazing across Haiti, which suffered a destructive earthquake on Saturday. Heavy rains and floods, unfortunately, brought unnecessary stress to the vulnerable country.
Early this Tuesday, another system has joined the above-normal activity as the 8th tropical storm – Henri has formed near Bermuda. Henry should maintain its intensity over the next few days, but without any significant effect on the land areas. It is currently moving around Bermuda to its south and is forecast to turn north and then east around the island into the open Atlantic.
There are only two other years in the satellite era since 1966 that had 8 Atlantic Basin named storms by August 17th. Those were the most active seasons on record, 2005 and 2020. This might give us a hint of what's coming up for the peak of the Atlantic hurricane season this fall.
The long-term statistics show that around 14 named tropical storms form during a typical Atlantic hurricane season every year. Around 7 of those systems normally become hurricanes with 3 hurricanes also reaching the major strength (a Category 3 or greater).
The seasonal activity normally peaks in two waves when activity ramps up. The first boost in the activity is statistically through the second half of August into early September, when the hurricane season takes a higher gear. Normally a steep increase in the tropical waves moving across the Atlantic occurs, affecting both the Caribbean region and the United States.
The secondary boost in the activity then follows through mid-October. But indeed these are just statistics and the activity might vary a lot and depends on various factors – how warm are the oceanic waters, how is the global circulation (e.g. having El Nino or La Nina), etc.
The tropical activity around the world is one of the more complex meteorological fields, as systems are defined with special conditions combined together that can lead to the development of tropical weather threats for the land and property. The most dangerous part of this activity is landfalls of hurricanes to vulnerable coastal areas every year.
This year, the Atlantic hurricane season has risen quite a concerning potential as the odds are increasing that La Nina will re-emerge again this fall. When such global patterns establish, this often supports weather patterns leading to much above-normal activity and higher potential for US landfall remains, according to NOAA forecast.
And the Atlantic Hurricane Season 2021 has even started more than 10 days before the official dates on June 1st when Tropical Storm Ana formed in the Atlantic. And the recent activity now continues with an impressive and near record-breaking step forward despite a few weeks of zero activity from July 10th to almost August 10th.
Eight named storms have already formed, including the recently born Tropical Storm Henri. Four of those 8 systems made landfall in the US territory, Danny, Claudette, Elsa, and Tropical Storm Fred on Monday.
Soon after almost a month-long period of tropical activity being completely shut down in the Atlantic Basin, the activity has significantly ramped up as we entered mid-August. Thanks to the very warm sea waters coinciding with a major MJO wave* aloft, emerging into the western tropical Atlantic and the Caribbean region from the west.
And such an environment often comes with the MJO wave – see further down for more details on why the MJO is such an important factor in the tropical regions around the world.
VERY WARM TROPICAL ATLANTIC AND DEEP MJO WAVE
The water/sea surface temperatures (SST) across The Atlantic Basin warm up a lot throughout the summer months, often reaching temperatures even above 30 °C in places. With the recent weeks of relatively stable weather, the sea surface temperatures of the whole Atlantic Basin have anomalously warmed up.
These include the Caribbean region, most of the tropical Atlantic, and the Gulf of Mexico. The warmest waters are spread across the western Caribbean region and the majority of the Gulf of Mexico. Temperatures are ranging from around 30 °C in the northwestern Caribbean around Cuba, up to almost 32 °C (90 °F) across most of the Gulf of Mexico.
These temperatures are extremely warm for mid-August and they rise a huge concern for the upcoming Grace and future systems that may eventually turn towards the Gulf Coast. Just this Monday, Tropical Storm Fred, has explosively strengthened in the final hours before landfall in Florida Panhandle. Mainly due to very warm waters over the eastern Gulf.
When we have so warm oceanic waters in place, they often lead to explosive development and very dangerous tropical systems. So the activity during the peak of the Atlantic hurricane season is something we don't want to ignore this year. As anomalously warm waters are a warning signal for the upcoming tropical cyclones that may develop into this part of the tropical region.
The SSTs are very warm especially across the so-called MDR region (Main Development Region). A part of the tropical Atlantic that virtually extends between the Caribbean Sea on the west and Africa to the east. Most of the tropical cyclone formations normally occur in this MDR region.
As we can see from the SSTs above, the Atlantic Basin oceanic waters temperature anomalies are strongly above normal, including across the MDR region. Such temperature anomalies do hint at the strong support for potentially very significant tropical cyclone development in the coming weeks as the Atlantic Hurricane Season peaks.
The weather model trends recently hint that these high sea temperatures will likely further improve in the coming weeks as we head towards the peak of the season. Statistically, these sea temperatures found in August are also quite a typical sign when an active season follows.
The sea surface temperature animation above is showing the Atlantic Basin waters have warmed up a lot recently, which will have a strong effect on the upcoming tropical systems through September and October.
This month, the warm Atlantic waters coincide with a deep MJO wave aloft, that has emerged into the Caribbean region and the Atlantic Ocean from the west. Both Tropical Storms Fred and Grace have gained direct support by these improving upper-level conditions, which allowed them to form and strengthen.
The chart above, provided by Michael J. Ventrice, is showing the current MJO wave** with filtered VP200 anomalies. THE VP stands for Velocity Potential – an indicator of the large-scale divergent flow in the upper levels of the atmosphere over the tropical region. The blue colors support the tropical cyclone development, the red colors are limiting it.
** The MJO wave is an atmospheric wave, known as the Madden-Julian Oscillation. It is moving from west to east and has a major influence on the state of the atmosphere which allows tropical storms or hurricanes to develop. MJO wave circles the Earth in about 30 to 60 days.
When a region is under a deep MJO wave, the general patterns develop a low wind shear environment, leading to more favorable conditions for tropical cyclone development.
TROPICAL STORM FRED MAKES 4TH U.S. LANDFALL OF THE ATLANTIC HURRICANE SEASON
Tropical Storm Fred is the 6th tropical cyclone of the Atlantic Hurricane Season 2021 and was the 4th landfalling system along the United States mainland coast. The landfall was near Cape San Blas in the Florida Panhandle with an upper tropical-storm-force strength on Monday afternoon.
The maximum sustained winds at the time of landfall were 65 mph, so just 9 mph below the threshold for the system to be considered a Category 1 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane scale. Its intensity was boosted in the final hours before reaching Florida as it encountered very warm sea waters beneath.
After landfall, Fred has quickly weakened to a tropical depression due to its interaction with the land and also increasing wind shear across the Southeast US in general. It is now moving towards the Appalachians with a higher forward speed.
Through Wednesday morning, Fred or its remnants will bring heavy rainfall with considerable flash, urban, and isolated river flooding impacts across portions of southeastern Alabama, as well as further northeast across western Georgia into the southern Appalachians.
By the middle of the week, as Fred lifts northward the impact will spread to central Appalachians and Mid-Atlantic. With landslides possible across the mountains of North Carolina and Blue Ridge Escarpment.
The highest amount of rainfall will develop across northern Georgia and western North Carolina, with 4-7 inches over the next 3 days. A swath of heavy rain with potential flooding spread farther northeast across western portions of Virginia, eastern West Virginia to northern Maryland.
A large part of Pennsylvania could see 5-6 inches of rain until Friday. With also some heavy rain and potential flooding across New York. Heavy rains will also be accompanied by strong to locally severe winds.
TROPICAL STORM GRACE WILL BE A HURRICANE BEFORE THREATENS YUCATAN AND THE GULF REGION
Tropical Storm Grace could bring a greater impact to the Caribbean region and also on the Yucatan peninsula by Thursday. As we could see earlier in the water temperature analysis above, the warmest waters are right in the part of the Caribbean where Grace is forecast to arrive on Wednesday.
With around 30 °C (86 °F) near-surface water temperature in this part of the Caribbean, the conditions are prone for an even more robust thunderstorm activity that is feeding the Tropical Storm Grace. The attached Ocean Heat Content (OHC) map below hints these conditions are well enhanced, right where Grace will track over the next 48 hours.
Having the OHC values of 75-100 or more usually results in a strengthening of a tropical system, even an explosive/rapid intensification sometimes occurs. So this needs to be considered as Grace is likely to strengthen into a hurricane before it reaches the Yucatan Peninsula on Thursday morning.
The thunderstorm activity was pretty explosive this Tuesday when Grace was drifting west along the northern coast of Jamaica, impacting southern Cuba as well. With also very healthy upper-level outflow ventilation visible this hints the environmental conditions are supportive of maintaining or further strengthening the system.
The Infrared and water vapor satellite scans above clearly show the explosive nature of storms as the cloud tops temperature is reaching even below -80 °C, gradually strengthening the storm. A relatively slow-moving system is giving a hard time to the impacted lands as heavy rainfall is persistent for a longer period over the same areas.
Now both the strongly supportive MJO wave aloft and the warm Caribbean Sea hint that the environmental and oceanic conditions are becoming more conducive for additional development as the system tracks further west. Keep in mind that the sea waters are extremely warm in this part of the Caribbean.
With Grace emerging into a more divergent upper-level wind flow pattern close to the Yucatan peninsula, it is indeed well possible to reach hurricane strength by the time the cyclone reaches Mexico land in about 36-48 hours. If Grace is upgraded to hurricane strength. it would be the 2nd of the season after hurricane Elsa in early July.
Regardless of the intensity of Grace, there is an increased risk of potentially significant winds, heavy rainfall, and destructive storm surge impacts on the Yucatan Peninsula from Wednesday night through Thursday.
The worst impact on eastern Yucatan will be a significant amount of rain and winds. The eastern portions are already under the Hurrican Warning.
Slow-moving deep convective storms could bring around 6-10 inches (150-250 mm) of rain near the center of the system and winds gusting to around 50-70 mph along the northeastern tip of the peninsula.
Also note that the waters in the western Gulf of Mexico are also extremely warm, with nearly 31 °C. This may help to re-intensify Grace once it is over the peninsula by Friday and impact the Gulf Coast of Mexico or eventually also the far southern Texas near the MEX/TX border.
As we could see from the ensemble ECMWF/GEFS model charts above, chances that Grace takes a more northern track do exist and these need to be closely monitored in the coming days.
FURTHER ACTIVE ATLANTIC HURRICANE SEASON EXPECTED
August is the 3rd month of the Atlantic Hurricane Season, out of normally 6 months in total when tropical cyclones occur every year. As we head into the second half of the season, the activity is the highest. The recent NOAA outlook update is also hinting that an above-normal and very active hurricane season is expected as we continue towards the peak of the hurricane season.
The NOAA forecast update predicts that a 65 % chance of above-average activity remains throughout the peak of the Atlantic hurricane season this year, slightly more than NOAA initially expected. The recent forecast also hints at 15-21 tropical cyclones, also higher than the 13-20 storms from the initial forecast.
The seasonal prediction also hints at the potential that around 7-10 hurricanes could develop, with 5 of those becoming major hurricanes (Category 3 or greater strength). Very similar thinking is also by the CSU forecasters, lead by dr. Phil Klotzbach, who released their updated forecast recently.
Klotzbach's team is predicting 18 named storms (note that those already include the first eight storms) with the Atlantic hurricane season 2021. They are also expecting all the main monitoring parameters to be above average again this year. Around 80 named storm days, 8 hurricanes, and 4 major hurricanes is expected this year.
If we take into account that we already saw 8 named storms so far, this is more than half the seasonal prediction. But we are just about to enter the most active period of the Atlantic hurricane season, which might hint us what's coming over the next months. Even a statistical average from mid-August to the end of November would bring us a higher number of tropical storms than the long-term average activity.
Note that these forecasts by both NOAA and CSU are based on the recent changes in the Pacific Ocean waters as La Nina will likely re-emerge through fall 2021. While also an enhanced west African monsoon is underway this summer.
The more active African monsoon leads to strong tropical waves of thunderstorms that are being pushed west into the eastern Atlantic Ocean and eventually become tropical storms/hurricanes as they travel west towards the Caribbean region and the United States.

}

My model look like this.
 [DataContract]
public class BeneficoryMobileDTO
{
    [DataMember]
    public string status { get; set; }

    [DataMember]
    public string msg { get; set; }

    [DataMember]
    public string code { get; set; }

    [DataMember(Name = "data")]
    public BeneficoryMobileDetailsDTO BeneficoryMobileDetails { get; set; }
}

public class BeneficoryMobileDetailsDTO
{
    //I have removed some property to show things that doesn't work

    //THIS CAN'T BE SERALIZED
    [DataMember(Name = "PriceMap")]
    public dynamic price_map { get; set; }

    //THIS CAN'T BE SERALIZED
    [DataMember(Name = "ServiceMap")]
    public dynamic service_map { get; set; }

    //THIS CAN'T BE SERALIZED
    [DataMember(Name = "LocalInfo")]
    public object LocalInfo { get; set; }

    [DataMember]
    public int benef_id { get; set; }
}

Only LocalInfo , ServiceMap and PriceMap This properties are getting Null values. Everything apart it is serialized.

Pls let me know what i'm doing wrong

A: The cause for your problem are the names of the properties. They can't be directly used in C# as identifiers mustn't begin with a number (identifier-start-character). So a property like this is invalid:
public string 100 { get; set; } // "100" is an invalid property name
// generates compiler error CS1519: Invalid token '100' in class, struct, or interface member declaration

json2csharp (which I didn't know before; really a nice tool!) gives you a hint as it generates the following class:
public class PriceMap
{
    public string __invalid_name__100 { get; set; } // invalid hint
    public string __invalid_name__200 { get; set; }
    // other props omitted
}

What you can do to let the deserialization succeed is annotate these properties (see the documentation) and tell json.net how they should be mapped:
public class PriceMap
{
    [JsonProperty(PropertyName = "100")]
    public string _100 { get; set; }
    [JsonProperty(PropertyName = "200")]
    public string _200 { get; set; }
    // other props omitted
}

Alternative:
You don't have to use the classes like PriceMap etc. that were generated by json2csharp and can stick with dynamic as you already did in your question.
Basically the problem that occurs is just the name of the property. The result is always null, because you told json.net via the DataMember-attribute that it should map the json key "PriceMap" to the property named price_map. This won't work as there is no json key "PriceMap" in your json. Instead it's simply called "price_map". So remove the DataMember-attribute and the property will be mapped correctly.

And as a side-note: there's a cool feature paste JSON as classes which autogenerates the necessary classes for you, if you don't wanna leave Visual Studio:


Like the trailer? Get the full film here.
Hypothesis: Django Unchained offers a fantasy script that will resonate with humanists, but misfires for audiences expecting a masterful composition from Quentin Tarantino.
There's the typical Tarantino flare that pulsates from Django Unchained: The hyperbolic violence, the candid and extended dialogue, bombastic audio, and animated characters that often parallel cartoons. This is the good stuff. This is the stuff that helped Tarantino create his very own style, and almost, his very own genre of film literature. Many of his works are considered, by the Sirloin Furr blog, to contain literary merit: Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown, and Inglorious Bastards. But these mentioned films offer more than style: they present well executed story lines that intermingle the zany characters that are standards in Tarantino's work. And unfortunately, that story line doesn't fully bloom with the same seduction that some of his other works have evoked.
Most of Tarantino's films award the viewers with flawlessly orchestrated visuals. This is a keystone to not only his success, but a major contribution towards achieving literary status. Django Unchained offers these iconic screenshots, which helps give the film an distinct placement within the literary community.
This 4 second moment of Django Unchained is a fraction of a fraction in the 165 minute film. But, it stands as not only one of the most iconic images of the film, but for Tarantino's portfolio. Firstly, the scene erupts with frisson, when Django, launches the tattered blanket from his shoulders, and displays his chiseled back like a triumphant boxer. But even beyond the instant visual, the scene is symbolically driven, with Django's actions speaking vibrantly like a shackled man being granted freedom. This moment perfectly reflects the rewarding sensation of achieving freedom, and offers a very realistic sensation for its audience, which is what literature is all about.
Tarantino's other talent is his absorbing dialogue. His characters often recite these loaded, emotional, and magnetic strings of dialogue, that perfectly presents every complex modicum of entangled emotions in each of his scenes. And what makes this talent so important is that the personal divide between movie viewer and witness disappears. The viewer transcends from passively viewing the film, to actively becoming a member within the scene. And Calvin Candie's (Leonardo DiCaprio) scene, where he confronts Django and Dr. Shultz, embodies tension, fear, suspense, and anxiety, a web of emotional terror that blankets the viewer with an authentic reflection of a cruel and monstrous slave-owner.
Keeping focus for 165 minutes is a challenge. But indepth stories, fascinating characters, and sublime presentations can help conceal the challenge. Goodfellas is considered by a few critics to be the shortest 3 hour film they've ever seen. And it's for good reason, it has fascinating characters, absorbing stories, and has dancing cinematography that tango's with the viewer through the entire ride. Tarantino has experience building a long film that provides these caveats, but unfortunately, they just aren't there in Django Unchained. The story is an interesting revenge, history piece, but when broken down to its cinematic DNA, it is a "find a missing person" case. Great films can be made with this plot line, but it is too one-dimensional for a nearly 3 hour movie.
Although the editing is the film's biggest issue, it is a LARGE issue. Scenes drag on, characters sit silently, and the camera doesn't feel like it always knows where it should be looking. These aren't pandemic throughout the film, but they are serious issues that would be expected from a film student, and not an auteur. And the issue with these missteps is how it impacts the viewing experience. These scenes don't carry the emotional frisson, disrupting the film's ability to transition the viewer into the world of the film. This seriously impairs Django Unchained from becoming literary merit.
Films like Django Unchained stand in literary limbo. Between its visuals and dialogue, but inadequate editing, there just enough reason to merit the film as literature, as there is to dismiss its credibility. There is no right answer, as all of these observations are absorbed subjectively. But as far as Sirloin Furr is concerned, although Django Unchained offers impressive and transcending monologues and iconic visuals, its not polished enough to fulfill literary merit. It provides enough creativity and skill to provide valuable guidance for aspiring film-makers, and it is another diverse piece of solid entertainment for Quentin Tarantino's portfolio. But its inadequate editing doom the film's rhythm, and breaks away from the audience too many times during its 165 minute showtime.

What Does "Rat Park" Teach Us About Addiction?
Lloyd I. Sederer, MD
How many of us, during clinical encounters with patients, focus on their families, their social communities, their sources of human contact and support?
RESEARCH UPDATE
Dr Sederer is Adjunct Professor, Department of Epidemiology, Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health, Distinguished Psychiatrist Advisor to the New York State Office of Mental Health (OMH) and Director, Columbia Psychiatry Media.
We owe to American psychologist, Dr Bruce Alexander, the understanding that addiction is about far more than any drug. That a person, or animal in his studies, is an active ingredient in their interaction with a drug. To stand a chance beating the opioid and other drug epidemics we have, we will be far better equipped if we follow his lead.
Alexander's experiments, in the 1970s, have come to be called the "Rat Park.1 Researchers had already proved that when rats were placed in a cage, all alone, with no other community of rats, and offered two water bottles-one filled with water and the other with heroin or cocaine-the rats would repetitively drink from the drug-laced bottles until they all overdosed and died. Like pigeons pressing a pleasure lever, they were relentless, until their bodies and brains were overcome, and they died.
But Alexander wondered: is this about the drug or might it be related to the setting they were in? To test his hypothesis, he put rats in "rat parks," where they were among others and free to roam and play, to socialize and to have sex. And they were given the same access to the same two types of drug laced bottles. When inhabiting a "rat park," they remarkably preferred the plain water. Even when they did imbibe from the drug-filled bottle, they did so intermittently, not obsessively, and never overdosed. A social community beat the power of drugs.
I believe that the biggest problem with the powerful, ubiquitous psychoactive drugs (meaning those that work on our brains and minds), is that they are so effective. In immediate and powerful ways, they change how we feel, think, relate, and behave. Or transport us away from loneliness and isolation. That is why we use them! It is also why campaigns of "just saying no" are naïve and ineffective, and why the dilemma of drug-taking, legal and illicit, has become one of the most dominant societal dilemmas we face in the 21st century.
The rates of overdose deaths, especially but not only from opioids, in this country continue to climb. In my earlier article, I described how prescribing clinicians can help people stay alive-until they enter an effective, individually shaped, recovery program.2 This article means to convey that there is a totally low-tech way of enabling people with addiction to (figuratively) prefer to ingest water rather than addicting drugs.
What we can do, a needed and effective approach, derives from what has Alexander taught us. Humans, not just rats, need to be part of a community, encouraged to relate and experience the support of others. This is about as basic a psychological truth as exists, yet does it find application in clinicians' offices?
Do we ask questions like: Who do you care about in your life? Who cares about you? When was the last time you spent time with people who are good for you-instead of those who hurt you and foster your drug taking?
These questions may lead to others, such as: Who can you call or spend time with in the next couple of days? What gives you pause in calling or making the kind of human contact needed to enable recovery? What do you imagine these people would think and feel if you did make contact? How might that encounter go-where it was not about asking for help, or money, but instead simply, and most importantly, about re-igniting their friendship, their attachment to you, and their wish for your life to go well? Their interest is one way to achieve the dignity, purpose, meaning, and life of contribution so critical to the hard work of recovery.
And so on, as the conversation may continue.
The science of medicine, with the exceptional value it attributes to symptoms, diagnoses, and evidence-based therapies, has had the unintended effect of eclipsing what we know and can do about the benefits of human interaction and attachment.
Please understand, I have been in practice for a long time. I am not naïve about the complexities of human relationships and the fears and challenges they present. Perhaps that is one reason we eschew the questions I offer above. They open essential doors, but that means we clinicians, not just our patients, have to pass through those doors as well.
Mother Theresa, not someone often quoted in medical journals, said, "If you want to change the world, go home and love your family." I think the Beatles said the same thing. And when we see people and families who are keeping their emotional heads above the often roiling waters of everyday life, who are not compulsively imbibing on drug-laced concoctions, or pathologically gambling or playing video games and the like, we will see that they lead their lives in the light of relationships, in human parks, not alone.

In college, I co-founded a support group that provides encouragement, empowerment, and advocacy to students with chronic pain or illness that interrupts daily life. STRONG is a club that functions as a support group, providing a tremendous source of strength for participating students with physical and mental illnesses and disabilities.
Every person in our club had some type of invisible disability. Named after the phrase we all so often hear, we decided to host an event called "but you don't look sick." We determined that we wanted the event to be a five-day display. How would we visibly show others our very invisible disabilities?
One of the most impactful things we did was post photos that we took of ourselves that included makeup, trying to depict what the pain would look like if you could see it. We also put up photos that displayed STRONG's co-founder with her ostomy and photos that showed how anxiety affects the body physically — in the stomach, chest and head, among others. We also decided to put up quotes, both inspirational and ones that demonstrated the realities of living with illness. We had members write their stories and made collections of things that were helpful to say and things that were unhelpful.
We collected our prescription bottles for months and put them all over the display. We posted our answers to questions like, "How does your illness affect you every day? How does your life look different from your peers?" and "how do you want to be supported by your peers?" Members only shared their names with their responses when they wanted to and felt comfortable disclosing.
So far, our "But you don't look sick" displays have been held annually, for two years so far. Sharing our stories gave us power. It gave us the space to declare our truths and to let others know how we felt and how we desired to be treated in a society that often discredits our pain and makes us feel less than because of our differences. Your story matters; your story is important. If you have the time and support, share it with others in whatever way you can. The world needs your story.
What do you wish people understood about life with an invisible disability?
A 20-something who loves ice cream, dancing badly, and is trying to find the balance between wild and peaceful. Struggling with chronic pain and illness is difficult, but together–we are STRONG.

This is the question related to a 30yr old married and started career 5yrs back and want to take insurance and plan for retirement.
His monthly expenditure is around 25k and he is expecting a kid by march 2011. He has some fixed assets (few acres of land and house) which he is going to get from his parents after them, which are worth 3-4 crores (current value).
How should he plan for his retirement and insurance considering these assets?
He is planning to take insurance (term) for about 60lakhs and doing retirement planning to create wealth of around 2 crores by the time he retires. He doesn't have any liability such as loan other than family.
Now my question is does he require that much insurance and also does he require to create that much corpus for his retirement when we consider the fixed assets he has at the moment. I mean do we consider these fixed assets for the future requirement corpus after retirement?
Another very good explanation from you. Thanks for your inputs. I had the same opinion about insurance with regards to fixed assets.
By the way coming to my question on Jeevan Anand: I've already taken enough term insurance from Aegon Religare online policy. I'm a kind of risk taking person and dont want compare it with LIC in terms of trust and claim ratio as this is new company. I took this risk because even if the claim fails it doesn't bother my family much because we have enough financial support apart from that. If I surrender my policy, whatever amount I get will be fully invested in equity and even future premiums will be diverted to full equity. So, in this case I think it is not wise to continue with the policy. May be I should make it paid up as you suggested. Still evaluating the options, yet to decide on that.
Thanks again for your inputs for my previous question.
Your question whether we should consider the fixed assets for the future requirement like retirement funding is a good one. This is legacy passed on to us by our parents and we should consider it for our and the family's welfare.
Actually many people miss this point completely when they are thinking about retirement planning.
When I tell many individuals that why are you so worried about your retirement fund/corpus when it has already been created today only by your parents (in the form of legacy they would be leaving behind);for a moment they are taken aback. This is funny but you will realise that in the Indian society; the middle class and richer class, a large number of people really don't have to worry about retirement. We are a 'savers' nation unlike the 'spenders' in the western society and we end up creating more wealth than we require/need for retirement.
The typical retirement calculators and planning usually miss out on this point.
This goal of retirement is generally overfed and the aim of protecting economic value through insurance is hugely underfed! Treating insurance as an expense typically leads to this situation.We think that if we buy more insurance it will impact our future needs negatively as the returns on a insurance product are lesser than the similar pure investment options. If we live normal life then we want to create and leave behind a large estate but while buying insurance we are very narrow in our approach.
So should your friend buy insurance if he is already having so much wealth left for him by the parents? The answer is a definite yes. Through this mechanism he will be protecting his future income and the consequent wealth creation which he will do if he lives a full life.
It is good that you have asked this querry because I was going to write on the similar lines on your querry about surrendering your Jeevan Anand plan. Surrendering it and putting the same money split into a term and a debt portfolio— does it really improve the situation, not necessarily. And moreover if you are thinking of buying the term plans from LIC only(because of 'trust', 'claim ratio' type factors) then the term+debt portfolio does not result in any benefits at all. You have to see the larger context of where this premium money and also rest of the savings are being placed to understand correctly.


I started learning about the wonders of CBD after researching the use of the oil for a loved one with debilitating pain. I discovered that this natural product is not only helping people with pain, but also inflammation, anxiety, seizures, insomnia, and many more health issues. In the process, I was introduced to BioCare and decided to use their CBD oils and products for myself. There are a lot of choices out there and I quickly learned that all CBD oil is not created equal and quality definitely matters. Benefiting first hand from these CBD products has empowered me to share, educate, and help others experience the healing powers of CBD for themselves. I invite you to try CBD BioCare and join me on my mission to tell more people about this amazing natural alternative for better health and quality of life.

Home Sports Football PL: Tottenham Hotspur v Arsenal preview
PL: Tottenham Hotspur v Arsenal preview
SuperSport viewers on DStv can look forward to a classic Premier League rivalry, as Tottenham Hotspur host North London rivals Arsenal on the evening of Sunday 16 January 2022.
DStv is the only true home of football in Africa, offering a range and depth of action that no other rival can match – it's literally 'Unbeatable Football'! If you're going to spend your money on something, it may as well be on the best football in the world.
Both Spurs and the Gunners clubs are looking to step up their level of performance and this meeting on Sunday evening is set to be another full-blooded affair.
"Football is all about details and when you come close to the final step, details are so important," said Spurs goalkeeper Hugo Lloris. "We know that we have the manager who can help the team improve in those details. [Manager] Antonio Conte's CV talks by itself. He's bringing his energy, his football approach but also, mainly, his mentality. He has the winning culture in his DNA."
Arsenal's Mikel Arteta, meanwhile, has been impressed by the progress made by Brazilian forward Gabriel Martinelli this season: "He trains incredibly hard, he is always willing to do more and he is not scared or afraid to take risks – and that is what I like about him. You cannot play every action at 100mph, it is impossible. It is not very efficient for you because you burn yourself out after a few minutes, and then you're just chasing a situation and not reading exactly what is needed. Gabi is doing much better at that."
Harry Kane – The England captain has an outstanding record in this fixture, but more than anything he will be looking to help Tottenham gain some revenge over their hated rivals after a humiliating defeat at the Emirates Stadium in the first half of the season.
Gabriel Martinelli – The Brazilian youngster has become one of the leaders of Arsenal's attack, and the improvement in his finishing has been highly impressive. He will endear himself even more to Gunners fans if he can score against Spurs on Sunday.

In head-to-head stats, Tottenham and Arsenal have met in 204 matches across all competitions since their first clash back in 1896. The Gunners have claimed 84 wins compared to 66 for Spurs, while 54 games have been drawn.
When the teams met earlier in this Premier League season, at the Emirates Stadium in September 2021, Arsenal claimed a 3-1 home win thanks to goals from Emile Smith Rowe, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Bukayo Saka.
Battles to watch
Antonio Conte v Mikel Arteta – Conte is the more experienced and decorated manager, but Arteta will be hoping his side's improving form in the back end of 2021 translates to a Premier League 'double' over their rivals.
Hugo Lloris v Gabriel Martinelli – Tottenham's French goalkeeper will be looking to keep a clean sheet in the North London derby, while Arsenal forward Martinelli presents a clear threat to that ambition with his rapidly-improving finishing.
Son Heung-min v Ben White – Arsenal centre-back White has established himself as a key man in the heart of defence, but he will face a stiff test of his concentration against the intelligent movement and pace of Son.
