In the encounter with a high-sensitive horse, another entrance is taken, as it were; through your emotional world you get the chance to test your own deeper knowledge, to adjust, to deal with situations in your life, to become your own conductor, to come back home to yourself and to feel what it is like to just "TO BE".
The non-verbal communication in the attitude and image of these horses reflects their nature, reflects what is in you, and what is needed for your growth.
to free your body from the excess ballast of the day and the physical impediments you carry. 'meeting yourself through the highly sensitive horse'.
This can vary from a body or foot massage (reflex), tuning, dancing ... to walking / being in nature, working with Tobacco.
Massages help you achieve a better overall flow and activate the self-healing ability of the body. Your body indicates where you need additional support at that moment.
Juanita has developed her own unique approach through her years of experience in many massage techniques. Like no other she feels where pain points have attached themselves in your body and she will release them effectively so that the energy can flow freely again. Juanita is a certified masseuse and foot reflexologist and has also received numerous training in all kinds of bodywork. More about individual treatments with Juanita can be found under Shamanic Body Touch.
All horses have their own story. We start with a conversation and together we make an inner journey to a new vision for your situation, followed by a healing integration work 'Body awareness' with body massage and / or foot reflexology, a purification ceremony (tobacco) to release excess tension and enable deeper grounding. to make. Then comes the encounter with your soul horse.
We invite you to forward a specific question in advance to gain more insight into this and to be able to integrate it.
Horses are big and powerful. They automatically attract attention. Because of their size and strength they can impress considerably with this work, and in this way form a natural opportunity to overcome fear during this weekend. These sessions with the horses are a wonderful metaphor for other challenging or intimidating situations in "real" life.
Mirroring horses, they are social beings. Interactions and relationships are literally of vital importance to them. they are very sensitive to non-verbal communication and will respond to the most subtle signal in the here and now during our presence. These responses provide us, people, information, feedback on our ways of responding and how we stand in life. This allows you to really receive and learn from the feedback you receive during this session. The lessons you receive help you to communicate and to receive your inner leader.
We all have our story, our version, our interpretation. These horses do not know your story, they deal with what is there, with what actually happens during the Retreat. Horses do not mirror your story, but what is going on here and now.
Because of this we come to the essence more quickly, the core of the matter. You literally and figuratively can no longer ignore it: what horses mirror in the communication is inescapable and real. Horses respond from intuition or a "gut feeling". More and more neurological studies show that the ability to give meaning to information from intuition leads to making good and well-founded decisions.


Violent crimes in schools haven't gotten worse, they've only gotten more attention, which is a step in the right direction.
From third graders bringing handguns to class for protection to teens opening fire on a crowd of students they were having issues with, students are using violence and guns to solve their problems.
A teenager at a suburban Cleveland high school opened fire on a group of students, ultimately killing three and injuring two others on Feb. 27.
While reading the many accounts on the Internet, and as the mother of two teens, I had déjà vu.
Violence occurs in schools so frequently, that it seems to take a high body count or something freakish for us to pay attention. We've seen it all. We've become a calloused and desensitized nation.
But we wept for children we didn't know in 1999 when two misguided young men at Columbine laid siege to their high school. They killed 12 students and one teacher and wounded 21 others before killing themselves. I can still picture the parents and friends of the dead weeping inconsolably on the television.
We learned about those students who died. They weren't just nameless faces, they became people we knew.
It made us realize what happened at Columbine could happen anywhere, even to our children in our schools.
Though there have been other, deadlier school tragedies since Columbine, such as the Virginia Tech massacre in 2007, it seems that everything else pales in comparison to the heartbreak at Columbine.
The most recent data collected by the School Associated Violent Deaths Surveillance Study was from July 1, 2009, through June 30, 2010. During that period there were 33 school-associated violent deaths in elementary and secondary schools in the United States.
After a tragedy like Columbine you might think that nothing so horrendous would ever happen again, yet the violence continues.
Since the shooters were bullied, the event spawned campaigns against bullying.
In a study the Secret Service conducted a year after Columbine, they found that of 37 school shooters up to that time, roughly two-thirds had suffered from some sort of bullying.
But blame was pointed in every direction after Columbine.
Music, violent films, teen use of anti-depressants and violent video games were among the scrutinized culprits.
Video games already had a rating system in place for five years before the "Doom" video game players went "Mortal Kombat" on their classmates. Movies and music had rating systems long before that.
"Dark" bands like Rammstein and Marilyn Manson were especially ripped apart in headlines as devil worshippers.
Our family has never committed a violent crime and we love those bands.
There have always been bullies. There have always been mind-boggling, senseless crimes with and without guns.
In fact, one of the top four massacres at a school took place in 1929 when a disgruntled school board member blew up an elementary school in Michigan. He was upset about losing his farm. This was long before video games and death metal.
We need to continue to pay attention and educate. Ignorance is not bliss; it's a massacre waiting to happen.

Q: How to return middle bits from random number generator? I have a random_rand() function which produces a random number between 0 and RANDOM_RAND_MAX. RANDOM_RAND_MAX is defined to be 65535.
I would like to use the middle bits from the result of random_rand() instead of lowest-order bits so that I can make the randomiztion better.
Could you please show me a quick way to do this.
Thanks

A: That's naughty.
Linear congruential generators work in such a way that the "most random" part comprises the lower order bits. A very famous IBM implementation of rand a couple of decades ago swapped the highest and lowest bits round after a drawing as a final flourish - this was found to completely ruin the generator!
So keep things simple. Generate your random number and extract the least significant bits using the % operator or a bitwise &: although this introduces statistical bias, the effects are no worse than the generator itself.
Whatever you end up doing, always run some statistical checks on your generator to make sure it has adequate statistical properties. At the time of writing, the generation scheme that seems to be the "best one" is the Mersenne Twister.
(If you really want the middle bits, then use a mixture of the bitwise right shift operator >> and &.)

A: result = (random_rand() >> 4) & 0xff

This shifts the whole result right by four bits (destroying the first four bit) and then logically-AND's the result with binary 0000000011111111 so only the next 8 bits are taken.
But when you need to resort to such dirty hacks to improve the quality of your pseudorandom number generator, you should rather consider to use a better PRNG instead. The mersenne twister, for example, is a very good tradeoff between performance and quality.

Revenge of the scorpion bots
Small Business Column
Elaine Pofeldt
Buck Ennis
RoboFun's Laura Allen (center) wows judges Jill Kaplan (left), Erik Ipsen and Elaine Pofeldt (right) with her students' motion-detecting Lego creature.
Laura Allen has made it her mission to keep local youngsters from being bored by teaching them 21st-century skills like robotics and Claymation. Ms. Allen, who previously directed the computer department at the Buckley School in Manhattan, keeps them busy with preschool and after-school programs and day camps at the Upper West Side location of her Manhattan business, RoboFun, and in classes in nine local public schools.
"I think our kids are overprogrammed and don't have time for doing and making things," said Ms. Allen.
Audience-choice award
Armed with a "scorpion bot" that her students had built from Legos, Ms. Allen won first place for her company in the third annual Crain's New York Business Perfect Pitch Competition, held at Columbia Business School on Nov. 16.
The competition's prize is a mention in Crain's New York Business and a bottle of wine. Seven small businesses competed in the live event, designed to show participants how to catch the eye of the media. The judges were Jill Kaplan, publisher of Crain's, Erik Ipsen, deputy managing editor, and me, a contributing editor. RoboFun also won the audience-choice vote.Ms. Allen impressed the judging team with her vision for the business, which she is considering franchising. She has built the 15-person firm to about $1.5 million in annual revenue in five years.
Props help
The second-prize winner was V&M (Vintage and Modern), an online marketplace for vintage furniture, antiques, art and jewelry, with about $4 million in annual sales. Under the leadership of founder Loren Brill, Sweet Loren's, the third-place winner, has secured distribution for its ready-to-bake desserts in stores such as Whole Foods Markets.
In the first round of the contest, the competitors videotaped "elevator pitches," offering the judges a quick overview of their businesses. After the contest, the judges offered some advice to those seeking media coverage—such as a suggestion to bring props, as Ms. Allen did. Here are some other tips:Know who you're pitching. Crain's requires financial information on the businesses it covers, so competitors who came prepared to disclose this data cleared one key hurdle. "We are very vigilant about understanding what your revenue model looks like," explained Ms. Kaplan.Tell a great story. Talis Lin, an executive vice president at V&M, caught the judges' attention by mentioning customers such as Nicole Miller and the site's sale of rare photos by film director Stanley Kubrick. This type of information, when woven into the subject line of an email pitch, can grab an editor's attention.Explain how you're different. Leah Abraham, who represented Ristorante Settepani, which has two locations in Manhattan, intrigued the judges by mentioning her work with a food historian on the menu. Showcase a strong team. Because of Hurricane Sandy, R. Adam Smith, chief executive of V&M, could not attend the event. Mr. Lin, his well-prepared substitute, held up under tough grilling on the business's financials. "That showed me the strength of the team," said Ms. Kaplan.

Paul's Travail: A Reintroduction to Galatians A commentary that tackles the hard questions.
6x9" paperback; 309pp. + front matter.
In this fresh look at a beloved book, Tim Gallant develops a reading that follows the unified thread of Paul's chain of argument. Showing sensitivity both to the coherence of Scripture and to the freshness of the apocalyptic new creation brought about by Jesus the Messiah, Paul's Travail weaves rigorous exegetical work, a strong sense of biblical theology and typology, and experienced pastoral sense into one harmonious whole.
Paul's Travail is available as a digital bundle (PDF, Kindle, epub); projected release date for the paperback format is Nov 25, 2013.
Detailed work with cryptic and difficult passages, particularly 3:10–13 (which is handled not only with lengthy discussion in the exposition, but also by a 20 page appendix).
Frank discussion of other difficult issues raised in Galatians, such as: What does Paul mean when he speaks of the Galatians being severed from Christ and fallen from grace? What is "the law of Christ"? Why does Paul say that through the law, he died to the law? Why is Paul so filled with angst?
An appendix comparing Galatians to Jesus' Farewell Discourse in John 13–17.
Extensive integration with Acts, showing the fundamental coherence between Paul's earliest letter and Luke's much-maligned work.
Detailed excurses on important questions such as the Greek phrase pistis Christou ("faith in Christ" vs "the faith[fulness] of Christ").
About the author—Tim Gallant grew up as a preacher's kid in Western Canada, where he fell in love with reading, writing and music creation. He graduated with honors from Mid-America Reformed Seminary in 2000. Along with pastoral and other leadership roles, Tim has written seven published books, spoken at numerous conferences and camps, and lives in the Nashville area with his wife Kristi and a horde of children.


Tired of sitting around and watching movies with a pint of ale, Stephanie has been at me for the past couple months to get out and do something different. So when she came up with the idea of going to Canada's Wonderland for their annual Halloween Haunt, it was tough to resist. The Halloween Haunt occurs on weekends throughout October from 7pm until midnight, where most of the rides are open… with the addition of haunted houses, mazes, and people dressed in costumes running around scaring everyone in their path.
So last night, Stephanie, my brother Jason, his wife Kelly, and I went out for an unbelieveable steak dinner at The Keg steakhouse in Vaughan, right near the park. Lesson #1 – Don't load up on food before going on roller coasters. The first ride we chose was Top Gun (now known as Flight Deck). This is hands-down the most stomach churning coaster in the park. Lesson #2 – Don't have beer with dinner before riding roller coasters. The first time I rode this roller coaster, the lineup was about 2 hours long, whereas, this time it was only only 25 minutes – the longest line we'd stand in all night long. We had 3.5 hours to fit in as many rides as humanly possible.
After Top Gun, we hit The Great Canadian Minebuster, The Fly, Wild Beast, Dragon Fire, Thunder Run, and Vortex. After each ride, we complained how sick we felt and that we needed to take a breather before the next one, but the lure of zero lineups was just too much. We were definitely feeling the pain today. Lesson #3 – more than 10 minutes between roller coaster rides. I woke up this morning feeling like I had a dozen drinks last night. Pounding headache, queezy stomach, and quite dizzy. I guess I have to remind myself now and again, that I'm not 20 years old anymore… lesson learned.

8 Perfect Card Games for Preschoolers
Your preschooler doesn't need a Poker face to reap the rewards of playing cards.
Standard packs and specialty games open up opportunities to identify colours, shapes and numbers, develop hand dexterity, take turns, stay focused, make decisions, follow rules and be a good loser.
Depending on the game, your preschooler might need snappy reflexes or a solid memory to ace a friendly competition. Plus, there's the good old-fashioned benefit of screen-free family time.
Card games are a winning way to bring siblings, parents and grandparents together, and once your preschooler gets the hang of a game, they might not want to stop!
To kick things off, here are 8 card games that bring fun and learning to the table.
Standard 52-card pack games
Snap – ages 3+
Snap is a classic game of winner takes all, and it involves players discarding a card, one-by-one, into a central pile. The first player to notice two matching cards yells, "Snap!" and wins the pile.
Play continues until all cards are won, and along the way, your preschooler practises their visual discrimination – which allows them to distinguish a three of spades from a three of clubs, and sets them up for reading and writing success.
Concentration (or Memory) – ages 3+
As its names suggest, this game is all about focus and remembering, and it also encourages number and symbol recognition.
Once the deck is shuffled and all cards are spread face-down on the table, gameplay is a cinch. Players take turns flipping over two cards at a time. If you get a match, the pair is yours. Non-matches are flipped back over, and the player with the most pairs at the end wins.
Go Fish – ages 4+
This game ups the ante with card-holding. Players are dealt five or seven cards, and take turns asking if another player has a card type they need to make a match. For example, if they hold a three, they'll say, "Daddy, please give me your threes."
If Daddy has one or more threes, he hands the card/s over for all to see, and the 'catcher' gets to fish for another card from him or someone else. As long as they're catching, they can keep fishing.
If Daddy doesn't have a three, he says "Go Fish!" and the non-catcher draws a card from the central pile.
Usually, you have to match four cards to win a 'book' and the player with the most books on the table wins the game, but matching pairs gives your preschooler more chances to hook some books before the cards run out.
Old Maid – ages 4+
This game royally challenges your preschooler's matching, pairing and number-recognition skills, and teaches them to lose with grace.
First, a Queen is removed from the pack. The deck is then dealt out, and players look for pairs in their hands. All pairs are put down on the table, and if you have three-of-a-kind, two of them go down.
Everyone then takes turns inviting the player on their left, then right, to choose one card from their hand (sight unseen). Pairs are put down as they happen, and play continues until all the cards have been paired, and one unlucky player is left holding the Old Maid.
Silly Monkey is a modern take on Old Maid, and all the classic games have been rebooted, so you can play them with custom-designed decks.
Specialty card games
UNO junior – ages 3+
UNO is an enduring favourite for schoolkids, and this version simplifies the gameplay for under fives. Your child has to match classic UNO colours and new numbered animals, and the game won't get boring, because it has three skill levels in one pack.
Heads Talk, Tails Walk – ages 3+
This gigglesome game develops your preschooler's visual perception and reasoning skills as they match card halves, but mostly, it's a great excuse to make silly animal sounds and movements when the head and tail cards don't match. Giddy-up, horse-monkeys!
Zingo! Bingo with a Zing – ages 4+
Zingo! is a genius way for your pre-reader or early reader to learn sight words. A bingo machine dispenses picture and word tiles, and the winner is the first player to fill their challenge card with the matching tiles and yell, "ZINGO!".
Spot it! Animals Jr. – ages 4+
Spot it! games think outside the square with round cards, and this junior version exercises your child's observational and cognitive skills as they play zoo-seeker for a day. Your preschooler has to focus on finding each animal's one true match, and they'll encounter new game modes and animal names as they play.
Woolworths, EdResources, Amazon and other toy and game retailers stock these card games, and here, we bring you the best board games for kids.

We were meant to go to Santa Barbara for winter break, but our plans fell through, and at the last minute, we were scrambling for a place to go, that didn't involve booking a flight. I started looking at lots of hotels with indoor pools, in beautiful locations or interesting cities, within a day's drive from New York. I found alot, and am going to document them all here (not all in this post--I'll spread them out)...As I've said before, as long as there's a pool, and good food, we are happy. I love the look of this deco pool, at the Fairmont Chateau Laurier, in Ottawa. Another place we have been to, and love, and isn't quite as far as Ottawa, is the Omni Bedford Springs, in Pennsylvania. It's about 4 1/2 hours from NYC, and has an indoor pool that uses their mineral springs water. I believe this was the first indoor pool in the country. I'll do a post about later this week, when I have access to all of my pictures. Right now we're in Binghamton, visiting Grandma, and I'm without wireless. We're driving to Quebec today, to stay at the Chateau Montebello, which looks amazing. I'll report back on Tuesday.
Sounds like a pretty amazing place. Is the indoor pool mentioned built like that lap pool in the picture?

Chrissy Teigen and John Legend's Summer Vacation Album With Luna and Miles
Little jet-setters! Chrissy Teigen and John Legend love taking their little ones on vacation.
The model, 33, and EGOT winner, 40, kicked off summer 2019 with a June trip to Italy. From truffle-hunting to pasta-making with Luna, 3, and Miles, 13 months, the couple documented their week of European activities on social media.
The Cravings cookbook author even shared a video of her daughter on their plane ride, captioned, "Luna has the very strong belief that only girls can be beautiful and only boys can be cute." In the funny footage, Luna argued that she is "not cute ever." Instead, she said that she's "beautiful," explaining to her parents that her little brother is "cute."
While her baby brother is still too little to share his opinion on the subject, Miles entertained Teigen's Instagram followers in other ways. While on vacation, the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model shared multiple moments of her son nearing a very major milestone — walking!
"I think some's gonna take his first steps in Italy," the Lip Sync Battle cohost captioned a sweet shot of Miles crawling. "Oh dear."
She added, "Soon!" alongside a pic of the toddler standing up while holding onto a table.
Legend spoke to Us Weekly exclusively that same month about how close his son is to being on the move. "It'll be any day now," the "All of Me" singer told Us in June. "He's, like, flirting with it every day, but he hasn't fully taken a step on his own."
The songwriter and his brood, who embarked on another trip in July, are always entertaining. Keep scrolling for an inside look at their summer 2019 vacations.

Home Citizens' Voice
Pakistan Treats Baloch People As Children of Lesser God
The tumultuous history of Balochistan has left a lasting mark on the province, with residents feeling marginalized
by Noor ul Huda Sikandar
in Citizens' Voice
For decades on end, the people of Balochistan have had their unique social identity and rich cultural history overlooked or oversimplified in the Pakistani mainstream. The quintessential example of this is last year's hit song 'Wajah' by the pop sensation Shehzad Roy. Under the overarching — almost malevolently ubiquitous — façade, the song tried desperately to present Balochistan as a breath-taking land of gorgeous landscapes.
While it most certainly is that, there lies a deeper and bloodier truth which has been grossly plastered over by the contours of hyper-capitalism, as evidenced by the corporate commodification of the song itself in a great show of pizzazz. This oversight can be attributed, in part, to the tumultuous and volatile history of the province, which dates back to the partition of the subcontinent and the incredibly mismanaged mess left over by the empire. Then again, this should come as no surprise as the post-colonial shadows of the Raj tend to haunt almost every corner of the subcontinent.
During this period, the question of whether Balochistan should align with Pakistan or India sparked fervent debate and contention. The ruler of the province, Mir Ahmad Yar Khan, who himself served as an agent of the British Intelligence Service (talk about colonial shadows) was thus abetted in his assumption of the Khanate of Kalat by the Raj to counter growing left-wing sentiments within the province which were conveniently labelled as "Neo-Marxist" out of a fear of the increasingly influential Russia, ultimately made the decision to join Pakistan with the assistance of Muhammad Ali Jinnah, who had served as his legal aid in the early 1940s.
However, the incorporation of Balochistan into Pakistan was not without its challenges and complications. Many within the province opposed the decision and advocated for independence, leading to numerous armed conflicts over the subsequent years.
One prime example of this being the widespread, and commonly reported, exclusion of the local Baloch workforce in the China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), with either Chinese or migrant Pakistani workers being favoured more often than not.
One group that has consistently and vocally opposed Pakistani rule is the Balochistan Liberation Army, a left-wing or what the British would call "Marxist" organization that has been active in the province since the turn of the 21st century. With 2021 and 2022 being the years the BLA has been at its most active, it is necessary to shed a more pertinent light on not only the groups history which can be traced back to the Baloch ethnonationalist insurgency movements on the 70's. A key aspect the mainstream media needs further to focus upon with respect to the BLA itself is to not constellate it with other terror and insurgent groups operating within the country, but to rather contrast it's ideals and history to these organisations to formulate a cognition of an enemy which has claimed the lives of dozens, if not hundreds, of citizens this last year alone.
Another solution is for the Pakistani government to address the longstanding grievances of the Baloch people alongside the cultural and sociological complexities specific to the region, which simply cannot be solved by blanket policies applicable to other parts of the country but rather to have individual, specifically tailored frameworks to amplify development within the region.
The tumultuous history of Balochistan has left a lasting and indelible mark on the province, with numerous residents feeling marginalized and oppressed by the Pakistani government and thus paving the way for extremist sentiments to arise. The lack of infrastructure and economic development in the region has only served to exacerbate these issues, leaving many in the province feeling left behind and forgotten.
One prime example of this being the widespread, and commonly reported, exclusion of the local Baloch workforce in the China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), with either Chinese or migrant Pakistani workers being favoured more often than not. What was once promised to be a cornerstone of Baloch economic development has mostly just been a 46-billion-dollar venture which has done all but alleviate the plight of the Baloch people. An example of this being the fact that the corridor itself has caused a mini migrant crisis in Balochistan due to its displacement of multiple homes, villages, and rural lands.
However, there are those who believe that there are solutions to the issues facing the province that could potentially lead to a lasting peace. One potential solution is to grant the province greater autonomy, giving the Baloch people more agency in their own affairs. This could involve increasing representation of the province in the national government and devolving more power and resources to the local level. A rudimentary first step could be capacity building measures to ensure the increased involvement of Baloch people in both provincial and federal mega projects such as the China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC).
This could involve working with local leaders to identify and address the specific challenges facing the province, such as a lack of access to education, healthcare, and other basic services.
Furthermore, a more practical understanding of the hierarchal dynamics of the province would be pivotal as this would pave a way for non-Baloch public office holders posted in the province to understand the complexities of the region and address its problems in a much more holistic manner. Thus, Baloch exposure to the mainstream which adequately delves into its culture, its history and its problems is pivotal.
Ultimately, achieving a lasting peace in Balochistan will require a joint effort by both the Pakistani government and the people of the province. By working together and addressing the root causes of the problem, identifying its contemporary prevalence, and dealing with it both contextually and appropriately and most important of all being cognizant and aware of the various issues which plague the region and not just glossing over them.
At the end of the day, this land with its exuberant culture, stunning landscapes and rich history is that but also much more than that. It's not simply a fairy-tale land tucked far away from the ever-present issues of a more ethno-Punjabi Pakistan, but it is Pakistan and its problems are without a doubt Pakistan's problems.

Noor Ul Huda Sikandar is a second year law student at King's College London.


For the past few weeks, I have been enjoying Dr. Ashok Goel's Design Intelligence Lab workshop. The discussions have been terrific, and we are working toward a rather interesting taxonomy and theory of intelligence.
A part of this workshop is that we are working our way through Marvin Minsky's latest book, The Emotion Machine. Last week, we discovered the second chapter of the book, Attachment and Goals, wherein Dr. Minsky suggests that we acquire new goals and societial learning from our imprimers, those with whom we form attachments.
This set me thinking: are programs "happy"?
* Does your email program then feel (in its own sense) some computational pride at the correct categorization of your email?
* Would an emotional email program be a better, more efficient one?
* Would we even notice?
Of these questions, I think I'm bothered most by the last one.

Mantle announces launch of its hybrid metal AM system for toolmaking
Mantle's new AM system features the P-200 AM machine and F-200 sintering furnace (Courtesy Mantle)
Mantle, headquartered in San Francisco, California, USA, has announced the commercial launch and availability of its metal Additive Manufacturing system developed specifically for the toolmaking sector. Designed to simplify the production of mould and tool components, Mantle's AM process is said to reduce the time it takes to create tooling by eliminating or reducing many of the operations traditionally required to make precise, durable steel tool components.
Mantle uses its proprietary TrueShape technology – a hybrid material extrusion (MEX), CNC and sinter-based process. The system includes its P-200 Additive Manufacturing machine, built on a CNC platform, that integrates building and machining to produce parts with the accuracy and surface finish required for tooling. The P-200 machine has a build volume of 200 mm x 200 mm x 150 mm.
A sintering stage follows using the company's F-200 furnace. This furnace can sinter multiple parts and will support multiple AM machines. Mantle offers two tool steel materials, H13 and P2X (a steel comparable to P20), said to be durable, stable, and perform like traditional tool steels with secondary operations like machining, polishing, coating, and laser welding.
The commercial launch of the Mantle system follows a successful delivery of beta systems to a number of customers. One of these was Westminster Tool, a precision mould maker based in Plainfield, Connecticut, USA, which installed a beta system and is integrating it into its mould-making operations.
"Mantle far surpasses any additive metal technology that we have seen previously," stated Ray Coombs, president and founder of Westminster Tool. "The precision and quality we get off the printer allow us to bypass many of our internal manufacturing processes, which gives us an advantage in providing a better, faster product for our customers."
Hillary Thomas, Westminster Tool vice president, added, "There is a massive skills gap in the injection mould-making industry. Mantle's technology is so simple to use that, with minimal training, we can have someone operating and running this machine. Mantle will help Westminster Tool change how we do business."

Other beta customers include Fathom Manufacturing, one of North America's largest on-demand digital manufacturing platforms, which is reported to have reduced its toolmaking time by 45% with components made by Mantle's technology. Fathom reduced its toolmaking operations from 200 hours to 110 hours by eliminating or reducing several operations, including CNC milling, EDM and polishing.

Tessy Plastics, a global contract manufacturer specialising in injection moulding and custom automated assembly solutions, surpassed 1.25 million cycles on a production mould built with Mantle components. The mould, which makes deodorant packaging, contains both Mantle H13 and P2X tool steel components and is said to demonstrate the durability of Mantle's steels in a demanding production environment. Tessy Plastics achieved time savings of 60%, from 150 hours to 60 hours.

Snapchat app that lets its users send the ephemeral photo and video messages – announced on Wednesday that the messaging app will now guide users to resources provided by the Election Commission of India. This comes a day before the first phase of 2019 Lok Sabha elections starts.
Beginning 28 March, Indian users received a message from Team Snapchat and also had access to filters prompting them to check their online voter roll before the deadline. From 10 April, Snapchat users will start getting a message which will prompt them to look up when their Lok Sabha constituency goes to polls. The messaging app will also send a Snap in each state which includes a link to polling location information which is hosted on the Electoral Commission of India s official portal.
Besides these reminders, Snapchat said that the company has also rolled out a variety of creative tools that include filters, lenses, Bitmoji, stickers, and snap map integration, particularly for the elections this year. This will enable the Snapchat users to use filters and lenses to share their take on issues related to the elections with friends.
The company has introduced a new feature called Snap Map which allows users to share their location on the app itself. This will be a new way for the Indian community to check their online voter roll and also check when their state constituency is going to polls, encouraging the users to vote with a link to the polling location as well.
Moreover, Snapchat in partnership with YLAC India (Young Leaders for Active Citizenship) is organising a geo-filter competition in a bid to encourage voter engagement along with expression for the state elections in Delhi and Mumbai.
Furthermore, the platform in collaboration with news media and content partners like The Wire, HuffPost India and Brut India which will be providing curated shows, stories and providing election coverage along with analysis. These will also capture on-ground voter sentiment in the country.
It is important to note that Snapchat does not have a consequential share of the country s nearly half-a-billion internet user base, which is mainly grabbed by Google and Facebook. Snapchat has rolled out four local languages including Hindi, Punjabi, Marathi and Gujarati, localised filters, lenses, along with stickers on popular festivals like Holi, and for IPL teams in a bid to attract woo more users in the country.
Snapchat s focus on India began after the messaging app s global user base dived; the platform lost 3 million users in the first leg of 2018, as per reports. This was when Facebook rolled out Snapchat s flagship feature Stories into all the platform it owns including Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp and Messenger. The company is also facing cut-throat competition from the Chinese app, TikTok which has garnered immense popularity in the country in a short span of time.


It is just the perfect phone that leaves your phone the same way without giving it a scratch or making it malfunction or leaving any damage on it when it falls off your hand or into the drain water and you retrieve it back.
So, this was what happened. My Oppo 1107 fell into the drain water (it was quite deep). Someone put her hand into the drain water and searched for it till she found it. When she brought it out, we immediately removed the battery of the phone. For less than two days, we put the phone under the sun. When I eventually inserted the battery, I was surprised to see my phone in perfect working condition.
PICK OPPO PHONES AND NEVER WORRY ABOUT THE PHONE MALFUNCTIONING!


I first met Eunice when I was a college student. She was looking for someone to help her figure out how to improve on the Special Olympics swimming program. Problematic during the inaugural 1968 Special Olympics Games, Eunice sought me out after learning that I had spent most of that summer conducting swimming clinics in the riot torn inter-cities of America. It was a turbulent time, a time of highs and lows when hope, doubt and fear were all mixed in together.
My generation, eager to take part in the remaking of America sought out those who inspired and motivated us. For me that person is Eunice Kennedy Shriver. A phone call and an invitation to join Eunice in Hyannis Port began what has become a life long dialogue in how to make the Special Olympics better. It is a journey that has no end. Eunice thank you for sharing your vision, your dedication, your passion. These qualities, so freely given are a gift to all of us. You have opened the eyes of millions to the possibility of the human spirit. You have done this as a leader, mentor, wife, Mother and Friend. I share in the joy of celebrating you for all that you have done for so many.
Donna De Varona, an Olympic swimmer and gold medalist rejoins the International Board of Directors and is currently serving as a member of the Sports sub-committee of the New York City Urban Initiative Advisory Committee, charged with developing and delivering innovative urban programs that will increase awareness and enhance the overall penetration of Special Olympics in New York City. As an Olympic athlete, De Varona was the youngest swimmer to compete at the 1960 Summer Olympics, and in the 1964 Olympics she won gold medals in the 400 meter individual medley and as a member of the 400 meter freestyle relay. De Varona has been a significant and powerful force in the fight for equal rights for women. She broke a gender barrier in 1965 when she signed a contract with ABC and became the first female sportscaster in television history.

Biografía
Nació en la prefectura de Ishikawa, su primera gran acción militar fue entre 1918 y 1920 como oficial comandante del 57.º Regimiento, en 1921 fue asignado al Cuartel Central de Recursos Técnicos y fue un Investigador Militar en funciones. Desde 1921 hasta 1923 fue jefe del Curso de Preparatoria en la Academia Militar, y posteriormente fue asignado al Cuerpo de Inspección General de Entrenamiento Militar. Entre 1923 y 1924 fue el representante del Ejército en la Sociedad de Naciones, y nuevamente fue asignado al Cuerpo de Inspección General de Entrenamiento Militar entre 1924 y 1925.

En 1925, se convirtió en oficial comandante de la Segunda Brigada; en 1926 fue comandante de la Fortaleza de la Bahía de Tokio. En 1927, se convirtió en comandante del Colegio de Guerra, y en 1928 fue inspector general interino de Entrenamiento Militar. Finalmente en 1929 se convirtió en comandante oficial general de la División de Guardia Imperial.

En 1930 fue nombrado comandante en jefe del Ejército Chosen en Corea. Al día siguiente del incidente de Mukden, ordenó la reorganización de la 20.ª División del Ejército Imperial, formándose la 39.ª Brigada Mixta. El gabinete japonés, sin embargo, estaba en desacuerdo con el ejército, sospechando que el incidente fue un acto conspirativo creado por los oficiales del ejército japonés. Hayashi ordenó, sin autorización del Emperador de Japón, la movilización de la 39.ª Brigada Mixta hacia Manchuria. El gabinete concedió finalmente la acción militar y el movimiento de la brigada desde Corea, y fue autorizado el 22 de septiembre de 1930.

Tras su comando en Corea, Hayashi fue inspector general de Entrenamiento Militar y estuvo destinado en el Consejo Supremo de Guerra desde 1932 hasta 1934. Desde 1934 hasta 1935 fue Ministro de Guerra, y desde 1935 hasta 1936 volvió al Consejo Supremo de Guerra.

Hayashi apoyó a Sadao Araki, junto con Shigeru Honjo quien era comandante del Ejército Kwantung. La facción Toseiha del Ejército Imperial Japonés tuvo una victoria en enero de 1934 cuando el general Araki fue forzado a retirarse, tras los excesos del Ejército Kwantung, y fue reemplazado por el General Hayashi. La lucha entre las facciones Toseiha y Kodaha continuaron con menor intensidad hasta el inicio de la guerra en el Norte de China en febrero de 1936. Fue un simpatizante de la doctrina de Fumimaro Konoe, de tendencia derechista y detractor de los militaristas que apoyaban la democracia y el rol del Emperador con un grupo de asesores y contra los militaristas radicales de izquierda.

En 1936, Hayashi se retiró del ejército y se convirtió en el 33.er primer ministro de Japón durante 1937, por unos cuatro meses. Entre 1940 y 1941 fue Consejero Privado. Falleció en 1943.

Open to all levels, a class that focuses on introducing students to a flowing (or vinyasa) practice that connects movement and breath. Beginning with an easy warm up, sun salutations, and a series of poses including balances, twists, and inversions, designed to increase flexibility, balance, and an overall sense of well-being. There will always be modifications, so you can work at the level best suited for you. Good for most levels.
Using the soft candlelight, you'll flow through a yin yoga practice. Yin yoga is often described as the other half of a yoga practice. A yin yoga practice is a slower, deeper practice affecting the connective tissues of the body. Yin Yoga utilizes fewer poses during the practice, holding the pose for up to 5 minutes, it is more along the lines of a gentle practice.
This class combines gentle postures, stretches, and restorative poses to increase body awareness and mindfulness skills. Appropriate for individuals who are new to yoga, have physical concerns, or would like a slower paced class.
Class will focus on gentle Yoga movement and relaxation to help you unwind from your day. Classes may include a mixture of Hatha, Yin and Restorative Yoga poses, Essential Oils, Sounds Healing and iRest® meditation. This style of Yoga is designed to help provide that physical and mental balance to prevent stress and anxiety, through the use of props that allow you to hold poses longer, giving you all the benefits of deep, passive stretching and deep relaxation. Reiki may also be requested if students are interested. No Yoga experience needed.
Join us for a weekly celebration of yoga's spiritual dimension where the definitions of sanctuary meet yoga's union of mind, body, and spirit. Sanctuary Yoga seeks to provide an open, safe and supportive environment where every body and soul is encouraged to explore life's spiritual dimension through reflections, meditation, breathing exercises and the physical practice of yoga. All levels of yoga and spiritual development are welcome! Ignite and inspire yourself and those around you!
Class is designed for all levels of yoga students, come prepared to have some fun, laugh, rock out to all genres of music, but get a serious workout. Class is constructed to build strength and less about extreme flexibility, it will challenge you but modifications will be offered for all levels of practitioner's. So come have fun, choose to challenge yourself or not, but you will walk away with a smile on your face and feel invigorated.
In the ancient wisdom and contemplative traditions, three major centers of "intelligence" (body/movement, heart/connection, and head/insight) has been identified. True spiritual awakening occurs on all these centers, with a balanced and wholistic effect, that is grounded in daily life.
With this view in mind, meditative practices of wondering ancient sufi Darvishes of Persia, and Shakti school of classical Tantra will be practiced in our meditation sessions. These meditative practices could include; Breathing techniques, visualization, different forms of chanting, dancing, whirling, movement and silent meditation. Attempts will be made to working with all the 3 centers in each session.
Qigong can be described as a mind-body-spirit practice that improves one's mental and physical health by integrating posture, movement, breathing technique, self-massage, sound, and focused intent. There are likely thousands of qigong styles, schools, traditions, forms, and lineages, each with practical applications and different theories about Qi ("subtle breath" or "vital energy") and Gong ("skill cultivated through steady practice"). The mission of the National Qigong Association is to help each individual find a path that best supports their personal goals, and to evolve this amazing energetic science.
Qigong opens the flow of energy in meridians used in acupuncture and Chinese medicine. It enhances our ability to feel the Life Force underlying the physical world and to deepen our communication with it.
Physically, slow gentle qigong movements warm tendons, ligaments, and muscles; tonify vital organs and connective tissue; and promote circulation of body fluids (blood, synovial, lymph). Thousands of studies have shown qigong effective in helping to heal life challenges ranging from high blood pressure and chronic illness to emotional frustration, mental stress, and spiritual crisis.
*Class will not involve movement, Restorative poses will be suggested for your maximum relaxation during class.
*Dress comfortably and bring an extra layer and socks for your comfort.
*Props will be provided unless you'd like to bring your own.
iRest stands for Integrative Restoration.
Based on the ancient teachings of meditation, iRest is an evidence-based transformative practice that leads to psychological, physical, and spiritual healing and well-being. Its practice is integrative as it heals the various unresolved issues and traumas that are present in your body and mind, and restorative as it enables you to recognize your innate peace of mind that is always present amidst all changing circumstances of life. iRest provides you with tools to help you relax deeply, release stress, increase resiliency, improve your interpersonal relationships and provide you with greater mastery and control in your life. iRest nourishes noble qualities such as joy, peacefulness, empathy, forgiveness, patience and loving kindness toward yourself and others, and supports you to resolve issues such as insomnia, anxiety, fear and depression.

World War II survivors and others gather around an engraved stone plaque as it is unveiled during the dedication of the Kålaguak Memorial in Tiyan, Barrigada on Tuesday, July 9, 2019. The memorial was established to remember those who died in the area during the dark times of World War II, especially the CHamoru people who were forced to manually build an airstrip in the area, under the rule of occupational Japanese forces.

Francisco Leon Guerrero Castro, 88, said he still vividly remembers that day during the war when his friend died right before his eyes. It was after an attack on the airfield that the Japanese forced him, and thousands of others, to build.
"That memory still lingers in me today," Castro said on Tuesday at the site of the airfield where his friend he only knows as "Juan from Familian Robat" and many others died "some 76 or 77 years ago."
Castro, as a teen, was among thousands of children, women and men who were forced to build the Kalaguac Airfield in Barrigada by hand. The site is now part of the international airport.
That Japanese airfield became one of the targets of U.S. aerial attacks, he said.
"In one of the attacks...a dear friend of mine who was only about two years older than I, was hit badly not too many feet away from me and having known that he was injured, I crawled to where he was and I did my best to comfort him but to no avail. He died shortly and that occurrence lasted in my mind a long whole," Castro said.

More: Survivors and residents honor memories of Mañengon
Castro, who will turn 89 on Oct. 26, was the honored speaker at Tuesday's unveiling of the Kalaguak Memorial in Tiyan, Barrigada.
The memorial was in honor of residents who, according to Castro, labored so hard, suffered and died 76 or more years ago in the construction of the former Japanese military airfield.
At the ceremony, Castro also shared the story of how his family defied the Japanese's order to march to Mañengon, and instead hid out and survived in the jungles until the American forces landed on Guam.
75th anniversary of liberation
The Kalaguac memorial in Barrigada is one of the added memorial events this year, for the 75th anniversary of Guam's liberation from Japanese occupation during the war.
"The Japanese forced people to construct the airfield by hand," Barrigada Mayor June Blas said. "Thousands suffered here and hundreds died as well."
Other World War II survivors from Barrigada and other parts of the island joined Castro, as well as government officials led by Lt. Gov. Josh Tenorio and senators, at the ceremony.
The newly unveiled structure in the shape of a latte stone, with water fountain, towers over the crowd.
Mayors' Council of Guam executive director Angel Sablan said he hopes that 75 years or more from now, people will continue to tell the stories of heroism during the war.
The Barrigada memorial will be followed by the Asinan Memorial ceremony in Yona-Chalan Pago Bridge at 4 p.m. on Thursday, and by the Mangilao Memorial ceremony at the Mangilao Mayor's Office at 10 a.m. on Friday.

Change management and developing the right values/beliefs/tradition within a firm is and has been a challenge for all organizations out there. They may struggle to bring/encourage right leadership to achieve high economic and social goals. This makes me ponder: what qualities the leader should have/cultivate. Yes, it is not at all a new topic for discussion but in most of the blogs/websites, you will find random stuff which sometimes can be delusional. Therefore, here, I would first try to en-list the myths surrounding leadership and then will move onto the traits a modern-day leader should possess/cultivate.
3) Show favoritism: People, sometimes, do favor certain member(s) in their team unconsciously. And that's okay. But one should learn to identify such trait as it can lead to unsatisfactory team results and many times sends a wrong message to others. Give equal chance to all and the one who deserves and is the best-fit for the position would eventually win in the end.
a) Ek teer se do nishan: By following deadlines, you (with some effort) can find your weak areas or the areas where you need assistance. One, without any second thought, should look for friend(s)/ acquaintance(s) who can help him in such areas. By doing so, not only you are saving your precious time but you also, will be able to focus more on your strengths (which will increase your productivity many folds) and in the meantime, would learn and improve your weaknesses by other's input.
b) Mann ki shanti: If someone says to me that he doesn't meet deadlines and yet, remains happy, then he is the most stupid being, you will ever find. Anyway, doing things on time, give not only eternal-peace but also boost your self-confidence. For example: In case you find yourself troubled and puzzled due to workplace stress (at first time around) and still manage to meet the deadline, then when you feel the same next time, you would already be knowing (from your past experience) that you can handle this. Thus you feel more relax and happy ever-after.
c) Added Bonus: You would be bindaas and your life(and job)-expectancy may increase.
2) Indulge with your peers at personal level: We (including me) sometimes, tend to forget the importance of a relationship. Believe me, it works like wonder, infact, it is the real deal. More importantly, they will be your right and left hands. They will cheer you up when you are depressed, they will feel confident around you, they will follow you, believe you. And I think that's best compliment for any person in a leadership role. Thus prevailing harmony all around.
What I recommend: The term "Leader" should not only be used for CEOs, COOs, CFOs, or Managers, to say the least. Instead, people should try to use/learn such qualities in/from their day-to-day routine. One must try to take leadership roles in his/her relationship with spouse, parents, children, brothers, sisters, peers, and friends, in order to lead a successful and contain life.

COVID-19 laid bare the inequities in Higher Education. Now, we risk losing an entire generation
When COVID-19 peaked in the Northeast, my home state of New Jersey moved into lockdown, including remote instruction for the state college and university systems. This educational shift, the virus's disproportionate impact on Black and brown communities, and economic dislocation have had enormous impacts on the aspirations of students from low-income families who seek the transformational power of higher education.
For many families living below the poverty line in New Jersey and across the country, public universities and community colleges offer opportunity: to be the first in the family to receive a college education and to take a step up the ladder of social mobility. Today, one-fifth of college students nationally come from low-income backgrounds, and more than half are first-generation students — many of whom rely on public education institutions to transform their lives and the lives of their families. Even as economic mobility has decreased in the U.S. and higher education has become increasingly unaffordable, higher education continues to play a critical role in the American dream.
COVID-19 has been distinctly destructive to those dreams for first-generation college students.
Let's talk first about the educational disruption: many American families have simple access to high-speed internet connections, data, and technology, but low-income students don't necessarily have these resources. With an unanticipated pivot to remote instruction, some of my students found themselves unable to maintain the bandwidth for live Zoom discussions, were forced to share a single device among a family of learners, and struggled to complete essays and exams on cell phones. Some broadband companies touted their resources for low-income students, but many students found these putative offers difficult to access or hollow. Institutions tried to step in with laptop loaner programs and digital hotspots, but you can imagine how difficult it was to roll out these services with skeleton staffs on campus, students scattered, and iffy transportation networks. By the time we were able to contact students, assess their needs, communicate those needs to the appropriate administrator, and deliver the equipment, weeks of learning were lost.
Educational disruption, however, was not simply an issue of technology needs. Most of my low-income students work 30 hours a week or more. Not only do they not benefit from financial support from their families, they often are part of their family's earning community, particularly in times of crisis. The economic fallout from COVID-19 was exactly that crisis: it forced numerous college-age students from low-income families to put their family's financial needs ahead of their education. Imagine how challenging it was for these students to attempt to complete the second half of the Spring '20 academic semester while serving as their family's sole breadwinner, trying to make ends meet with hourly jobs at Big Box stores or as freelancers with Amazon and Uber.
Other students, those who were not themselves essential workers, found different responsibilities on their plates beginning in March. As their parents or extended families continued to work outside the home and even took on more hours, these first-generation college students juggled their education alongside child or elder care. One young woman in my class found herself solely responsible for her three young cousins; Zoom classes and homework needed to wait. Another entered our online classroom shaken by a difficult conversation, urging his ailing grandmother who was having difficulty breathing to go to the hospital. She ultimately was hospitalized with COVID-19 and recovered, but his class participation and concentration that day was hardly on par with his pre-COVID excellence. These families were not unsupportive of the educational dreams of their children, but day-to-day reality and a lack of understanding of the demands of higher education from those who have never been to college produced an environment in which educational success was enormously challenging.
As we begin the fall semester, leaders are focused on the challenging but short-term questions surrounding reopening schools: Can schools safely open? Will teachers return? Can students learn? Trump insists. Governors worry. Superintendents and college presidents try to respond and implement two-weeks delays or lockdowns. There's limited money, endless need, and no simple or clear answers.
What awaits the young people or returning students who aspire to higher education in order to reshape their lives? Cuts, uncertainty, and lack of decisive planning.
Many institutions, including the state colleges in New Jersey, have implemented cost-cutting measures. Rutgers University ratified cuts, and St Peter's, a private, Jesuit institution with a history of serving underrepresented students in New Jersey, announced furloughs of 45 employees. Despite these cuts (and the concomitant reduction in services students can expect), most public institutions have not reduced tuition. At least one N.J. public institution voted to raise tuition for 2020-2021 by 3.5 percent. Frankly, the institutions need the funds.
Funding issues, politics, and guesswork underscore the uncertainty about reopening plans as well. K-12 and higher-ed institutions have delayed re-openings, pivoted online, and then pivoted back to some version of face-to-face instruction. Sometimes with only days' notice, students and families are expected to adjust and adapt. For low-income families in precarious circumstances, for first-generation students needing to navigate a balance between the demands of school and work, the constantly shifting ground of higher education is deadly quicksand.
In March, we shifted to remote instruction, faced economic disaster, and witnessed a pandemic for which we were unprepared. COVID-19 exposed the inequities in higher education that experts have been sounding the alarm about for decades. As we approached September, we had months to plan for how to make higher education work in this perilous climate, but we failed.
Today, we simply don't have a plan to support our vulnerable yet promising next generation of college graduates. We aren't ready to help them learn as they grapple with work, family, and illness. We don't have the systems in place to support their dreams. The transformational power of higher education could be another casualty of the coronavirus in New Jersey and the U.S.
Now is the time for a focus on long-term solutions.
We can continue to think short-term, pass the buck, focus on two weeks at a time, and hope and pray that the virus and the economic disruption it wrought will disappear after election day. If policymakers and educational leaders don't seize the day to make the systemic, long-term changes we need, it isn't the virus that will disappear in November. Instead, it will be the hopes and dreams of a generation of young people, whose educational aspirations will have been dashed, not just by COVID, but by our unwillingness to support the transformational power of American education.
There's still some time. Carpe diem, leaders, legislators, funders, educators.

Bob has a long history of delivering effective solutions to business problems. He has extensive experience gained in senior management and consultancy positions in the public sector, manufacturing, marketing and service organisations.
Jean has been involved in the industry since 1975 as co-founder of the Electric Vehicle Development Group and Director of the EU funded hybrid vehicle programme. She assists with the development of renewable energy technology projects.
GMS was set up to focus on Green Technology in automotive & marine technologies, particularly electric drive systems and associated components.
GMS has spent over 10 years designing, developing and refining electric motors for the light vehicle market that are efficient, powerful and cost effective.
Green MotorSport Limited now manufactures and sells its own brand in house designed liquid cooled electric motor together with all other components required for an electric drive train solution.
Green MotorSport has all the necessary expertise to supply and support every aspect of drive train related technology including motors, cooling systems, batteries, battery management systems, display systems, and associated electrical equipment.
Green MotorSport Limited (GMS) Company was founded by Gordon Foat on the 4th July 2001 and is based in Woking Surrey in the UK. GMS is the first company specifically set up to research "Green motor sport".
From 2001 – 2005 the company was focused on education and demonstration of renewables and ev technology with the aim to bring zero carbon technologies into motor sport. The company demonstrated zero emission DC air-cooled drive train technologies to universities and business in an attempt to gather people's interest in the subject. In 2005 the company was featured on prime time television in over 200 countries worldwide as the main feature on CNN News with the global challenges program.
2008 – 2010 The company developed a new kind of liquid cooled electric motor more suitable than the DC brushed technology. As battery technology improved and run times increased the company focused on design and production methods to reduce the costs and increase motor reliability.
In 2009 the company launched its first liquid cooled motor prototype designed for karting and lightweight vehicles, ready for our planned series of high performance kart races.
In 2010 the company launched its first mass production liquid cooled motor called the GMS M1, followed a year later with the first twin drive electric powertrain called the GMS Dual Powertrain designed for heavier vehicles. The company's efforts were recognised by the Royal Family at the Royal Bath and West show collecting a first prize from Her Royal Highness The Countess of Wessex GCVO for sustainable transport.
In 2011 Green MotorSport entered the World's First electric car rally called WAVE (World Advanced Vehicle Expedition, collecting 3 first prizes for its efforts.
In 2012 work began on a new range of exciting motor developments. The new cost effective motor prototype design was designed, based on our own Technology. The company continued to invest in of the electric motorsport technology. GMS joined the WAVE rally once again in 2012, and on return, Gordon Foat was presented with the People and Environment award 2012 for Sustainable sport.
In 2013 GMS continued its efforts in refining electric vehicle support technology, and again participated in WAVE, collecting battery charging awards as well as gaining a world record with the WAVE group for the largest number of electric cars ever parade in Luzern Switzerland.
In 2014 the company entered two cars into the WAVE rally. The company used the WAVE to test and evaluate its new generation motor. With the new motor installed in our electric buggy we used WAVE as a public proving ground to gather reliability and performance data that adds credibility for our claims for our latest product offering. We are currently finalising all aspects of protection for our technology before the planned product launch, which is scheduled for late summer 2014.
The company will also continue to refine its drive train and associated technology for future niche electric car production companies.

GRETNA, La. (AP) - A New Orleans-area financial planner has been accused of stealing nearly $360,000 from a 78-year-old client.
The Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office said that Benjamin Bourgeois, 52, was booked on charges including theft, bank fraud, and exploitation of the infirm, which involves taking advantage of elderly people, those with disabilities and others.
Capt. Jason Rivarde said investigators believe the Harvey resident used $359,000 the woman gave him last year for investments to pay off his own personal debts and living expenses. The Gretna resident had been Bourgeois' client for a decade.
CBD Wealth Management in Metairie said in a statement that the company has fired Bourgeois.
Bourgeois was jailed Thursday on a $145,000 bond.


Landmark Holy Place of Islam: Masjid Qiblatain (Masjid of Two Prayer Directions) ~ Islam My Ultimate Decision .
New religions take time to mature and cement their basic foundations. When Allah chose Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), a pious, respectful and trusted man from one of the leading tribes of Makkah to be His last prophet through whom the last of the divine religions, Islam, was to be sent to the mankind, the pagans of Makkah were the most intolerable and hostile audience the Prophet of Allah had to face. Therefore, the Divine messages trickled down slowly and it took some 23 years to complete the religion as Islam solidified its position unto the disbelievers and nonbelievers.
Initially, when the five prayers were made obligatory for the Muslims, the prayer direction or the Qibla (in Arabic) was chosen to be the Masjid Al Aqsa in the holy lands located on a hill in the Old City of Jerusalem that for thousands of years has been venerated as a holy site, in Judaism and Christianity and from thence by Islam too. Right from the early days of Islam, Muslim's Qibla remained the direction of Masjid Al Aqsa for over 13 years, that is from 610 CE until 623 CE. However, seventeen months after the migration of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) from Makkah to Medina the Qiblah became oriented towards the Ka'aba, Masjid Al Haraam, in Makkah.
When the Muslims came to Medina and started praying in the direction of Masjid Al Aqsa, equally revered by the Jews and which also the direction of their prayers, the Jews initially rejoiced the fact that the Prophet of Islam had to take their sacred city as a Qibla. And it was also thought by the Muslims that by having a common Qibla, the two religions would foster religious harmony and cordial relations in future. But as the spread of Islam started to gain momentum, the Jews of Medina felt threatened of losing their religious identity and as a retaliation started to mock the Muslims for not having a Qibla of their own. "Muhammad claims that his is an independent religion and his law supersedes all previous laws, but he does not yet have an independent 'qiblah' and offers his prayers facing the 'qiblah' of the Jews".
This started hurting the Prophet of Allah and he would invariably go out at night and look towards the Heavens for a Divine command regarding the Qibla for Muslims.

UPDATE 1-MetroPCS urges shareholders to vote for amended T-Mobile deal
April 15 (Reuters) - MetroPCS Communications amended the terms for its proposed merger with Deutsche Telekom unit T-Mobile USA, and asked shareholders to vote for the deal.
The move follows Deutsche Telekom sweetening its offer last Wednesday, bowing to pressure from activists and proxy advisory firms.
MetroPCS's shares, which closed at $11.52 on the New York Stock Exchange on Friday, were down 2 percent in premarket trading.
The amendment "significantly improves" the value of the proposed combination for shareholders, MetroPCS's board said in a statement.
The new terms include reducing the combined company debt by $3.8 billion to $11.2 billion and lowering the interest rate on the debt by 50 basis points.
As a part of its sweetened offer, Deutsche Telekom has expanded the lock-up period - when it is prohibited from publicly selling shares in the company - by 12 months to 18 months.
