Interchangeable batteries to 'electrify' Dutch inland navigation
by Mariska Buitendijk | Jun 3, 2020 | News | 0 comments
With exchangeable batteries it is possible to operate barges electrically on a larger scale. They do not need to be plugged in for a long time, but can place a new battery on board during loading and unloading and continue their journey.
This idea has been embraced by ING, energy and technical service provider ENGIE, maritime technology company Wärtsilä and the Port of Rotterdam Authority. Beer brewer Heineken has already agreed to use the new energy system to transport beer. It is expected that the first fully electric barge can be commissioned before the end of the year.
A new company has been set up to take care of everything: Zero Emission Services (ZES). This company will ensure that ships will soon be able to change batteries, so-called ZESPacks, at several locations in the Netherlands. ZESPacks look like containers and can be transported in the cargo hold of the ship. With two of these types of batteries on board, a ship can travel approximately 50 to 100 kilometres.
To make it easier for barge operators to sign-on to the concept, a "pay-per-use" financing model has been developed. In this way, ZES charges only for the cost of consumed renewable energy plus a rental fee for the battery container, so the skipper's operating costs remain competitive. However, vessels must be equipped with an electric propulsion line.
The first electric ship will sail from Heineken's brewery in Zoeterwoude to the port in Moerdijk. The first battery charging point will be on this route. In Moerdijk, Heineken will collect beer in order to ship it further to the port of Rotterdam, for example.
ZES is still looking into the possibilities for loading points for the Amsterdam-Rotterdam-Antwerp route and a connection to Nijmegen. The first phase of the project involves a total investment of 20 million euros. Several parties have already shown interest in the new system.
Eventually ZES wants to move the entire inland shipping sector to emission-free sailing. 'We'll start with batteries, but if hydrogen becomes cheaper in the future, the containers with hydrogen technology will be able to supply electricity in the same way,' explains ZES director Willem Dedden.

Eric Smith will enter his third season as the recruiting coordinator for the Youngstown State baseball program in 2018-19. He was promoted to the top assistant position on Head Coach Dan Bertolini's coaching staff following the 2017-18 campaign.
Most recently in 2018, the Penguins surpassed the previous season's win totals with 18 overall wins and 10 league victories. The 18 total wins were the program's most since 2010 and the Penguins swept a league opponent for the first time since 2012 when they won three straight over UIC in late March. With a first-round win over Oakland, YSU also notched its first Horizon League Tournament victory since it won the championship in 2014.
In Smith's second season as the primary hitting coach, the Penguins hit 44 home runs as a team, which ranked second in the league and as the third most in a single season in school history. It also marked the first time in school history they have hit at least 40 homers in back-to-back seasons after hitting 50 in 2017.
The Penguins drew a Horizon League-best 272 walks in 2018, shattering the previous school record of 234 that was set in 2013. YSU also stole 86 stolen bases, which ranked second in the Horizon League and tied for the second most in a single season in school history. It marked the first time the Penguins stole at least 80 bases in a season since 1998.
In 2018, Trey Bridis had 13 home runs, Blaze Glenn had 11 and Andrew Kendrick hit nine. It marked just the second time in school history that three Penguins hit at least nine home runs in a season and the first time that two Penguins hit at least 11 in the same year.
Smith saw five of his hitters garner postseason Horizon League honors in 2018. Trey Bridis was named First-Team All-Horizon League while Blaze Glenn and Jeff Wehler were named to the league's second team. In addition, Wehler, Nick LaBrasca and Lucas Nasonti were each voted to the All-Freshman Team. Additionally, Bridis was named a National Player of the Week by Collegiate Baseball and the Horizon League Co-Batter of the Week on May 14 after he batted .500 and slugged 1.042 while hitting four home runs for the week.
Bridis finished the season ranked in the top 10 of the Horizon League in eight different offensive categories while Glenn was in the top 10 of nine categories. Glenn also reached base in 46 consecutive games from Feb. 24 through May 15, which was believed to be the longest streak in the country when it ended. Kendrick finished his career with a school record 30 home runs, and 26 of those came in the two years with Smith as his hitting coach.
In addition to organizing recruiting efforts for a large number of newcomers, Smith helped the Penguins make a big jump offensively as their primary hitting coach in 2017. Youngstown State averaged almost a full run more per game than in 2016 and averaged more runs per game than in five of the previous six seasons. YSU batted 31 points higher and hit an eye-popping 38 more home runs than in 2016. After the regular season, only three teams in the country had improved their home run total from 2016 more than Youngstown State.
YSU had two batters be named a national player of the week during the season. Andrew Kendrick was recognized nationally by several media outlets after he hit five home runs and posted 11 RBIs during the opening weekend. Lorenzo Arcuri was a National Player of the Week by Collegiate Baseball on March 13 after he hit three home runs at Morehead State.
Kendrick went on to smash the previous school record for home runs in a season with 17, which was five more than any other Penguin had hit in program history. Sophomore outfielder/designated hitter Kyle Benyo and junior outfielder Trey Bridis both hit eight home runs after each had just one in 2016.
Smith also works defensively with the outfielders and catchers, and YSU set a new school record with a .966 fielding percentage in 2017.
Smith was an assistant coach at Eastern Kentucky in 2016, and he has five additional years of experience coaching at the Division I level. He has coached 19 players who have gone on to play professional baseball and one player who has reached the Major Leagues.
With Smith on the staff in 2016, Eastern Kentucky hit 66 home runs and batted .290 as a team. Mandy Alvarez led the nation in hits per game and was named the Co-Ohio Valley Conference Player of the Year. Kyle Nowlin, a First-Team All-OVC selection, tied for second among the country's leaders with 21 home runs. Alvarez was a 17th-round draft pick by the New York Yankees, and Nowlin was a 21st-round selection by the Oakland Athletics.
EKU beat two SEC teams for the first time in program history in Smith's season on staff, beating No. 13 Mississippi State and No. 28 Kentucky.
In addition to working with EKU's hitters, Smith directed the Colonels' camps and community service outreach program.
Smith spent the 2013-15 seasons as an assistant coach at Division II Philadelphia University as the program's recruiting coordinator and assistant coach. During his first season, the Rams reached the playoffs for the first time in six years.
Smith got his start in coaching at his alma mater, Mount St. Mary's, during the 2008-10 seasons. He served as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator for the Mountaineers and helped the 2008 squad make the NCAA Tournament for the first time in program history and play No. 1 North Carolina. Mount St. Mary's was also strong academically with Smith on the staff, ranking in the top 10 percent in the country in team GPA.
Smith graduated from Mount St. Mary's in 2007 with a bachelor's degree in business. He and his wife, Amanda, live in Akron.
Shane Davis, a Youngstown native, is in his first season as the pitching coach for the Youngstown State baseball program in 2018-19.
After playing collegiately at Eastern Michigan, Davis joined the Eagles as an assistant before moving on to coach at Cleveland State and Western Illinois. He and Head Coach Dan Bertolini were teammates at Poland Seminary High School in 2002.
Most recently, Davis served as the pitching coach and recruiting coordinator at Western Illinois from 2012-2017. During his time with the Leathernecks, he coached a pair of pitchers who were selected in the Major League Baseball Draft.
After recording a school-record nine saves, Brian Loconsole was selected in the 20th round of 2013 MLB Draft by the Los Angeles Angels. Tyler Willman, who became the first WIU pitcher to receive first-team all-conference honors since 2006, was selected in the 12th round of the 2014 draft by the San Francisco Giants.
Under Davis' guidance, senior Tyler Owings became the program's all-time saves leader and earned Second Team All-Summit League honors in 2015 while true freshman Ian Koch was named to the league's second team in 2016.
During the 2014 season, Davis' pitchers earned four Summit League 'Pitcher of the Week' honors, the most in program history. He also played a major role in the development of Aaron Michel, who was named a Louisville Slugger Freshman All-American and finished the 2013 season with a school-record 1.23 ERA.
During his first season in Macomb, Davis served as the recruiting coordinator and aided in the recruitment of several players who became major contributors as freshmen for the Leathernecks in 2012.
Prior to joining the Western Illinois staff, Davis spent two seasons as an assistant coach at Cleveland State. He helped coordinate the Vikings' recruiting efforts in the Midwest while also assisting with summer ball placement, travel and scheduling. He also served as an associate scout for the Texas Rangers after Cleveland State's baseball program was dropped in May of 2011.
Davis arrived at Cleveland State after serving as an assistant coach at the United States Air Force Academy, where he worked primarily with the bullpen and catchers, while also assisting with hitters. During his stint at Air Force, the team's catchers ranked first or second in the Mountain West Conference in every defensive category.
Davis has also served as the co-head coach of the Stark County Terriers, an elite 18-and-under summer league team that qualified for the ABCA Midland regional. He also coached the Varsity Shop Training Center Bullets, an 18-and-under team based out of Detroit, during the summer of 2008.
Additionally, he we worked as an assistant coach at his alma mater Eastern Michigan in 2008, coaching outfielders and assisting with hitters. He also served as a student assistant at EMU in 2007, working with pitchers and catchers.
During his time at EMU, he was part of a coaching staff that went 36-12 in the Mid-American Conference, including a regular season championship and tournament runner-up finish in 2007. The group won the MAC West Division title and the MAC tournament championship in 2008 to earn a berth in the Ann Arbor Regional.
Davis was a four-year letterwinner as a catcher for Eastern Michigan, graduating in 2007 with a Bachelor's degree in Secondary Education. He earned his master's degree in Communication from Western Illinois in 2015.

The start of Spring seems as good a time as any to highlight some new bands for your delectation, Getintothis' Steven Doherty has his ear to the ground.
If a band described themselves as: "The Coronation Street theme tune played on flutes by angry children", you would normally roll your eyes and move on.
However, as anyone who has heard Brighton's Squid would agree, they would struggle to think of a better analogy to try and describe them.
Latest single Houseplants is the best example of their strange, captivating racket, and could be the song to catapult them into a larger audience.
With flashes of LCD Soundsystem, early Foals, thrashing guitars and almost jazz-like interludes, it's the most barking four and a bit minutes of 2019 so far bar none.
On the back of already receiving airplay on 6 Music, the band are to be soon all over the place at festivals and the like in the summer.
With support slots including the full Viagra Boys UK tour (with a local date at Shipping Forecast on May 22) and an even more intriguing Sunday afternoon slot supporting Our Girl at Birkenhead Library on June 2, which is already looking like one of those I-was-there moments, even so early in their career.
It would be remiss, lazy and just plain wrong to call Melts 'the next Irish big thing' just because they are the latest in an increasingly perfectly formed band to come off the massive conveyor belt they seem to have these days in Dublin.
(Although they have supported Fontaines DC and are set to support The Murder Capital in Dublin in May, so maybe not that lazy).
Formed in late 2017, Melts are not as shouty-in-your-face as their peers, there's more of a psych-rock feel to them. Two corking singles in, both last year's epic Skyward and recent follow-up Echoes have garnered some glowing reviews for their relentless, hypnotic feel, thumping bass-lines abound.
Hopefully some local dates are to follow shortly as based on the evidence of the two singles (and indeed In Person, Skyward's B-side which evokes a very Echo And The Bunnymen aura), these have the makings of something very special indeed.
And speaking of coming from Ireland and supporting Fontaines DC (as they are on their about- to-start UK tour), Just Mustard are last but by no means least.
The Dundalk five-piece released debut album Wednesday last May and have organically been building momentum in all the right places since then.
Some may call them a return to the days of shoe-gaze, and it is easy to see they have been somewhat influenced by the likes of My Bloody Valentine et al, albeit with a sufficiently interesting twist.
At times hard to decipher and sounding move live than a usual debut album does, the record is an eight track volley, all noise and ideas, harsh and acidic.
As well as the coveted Fontaines DC support, they will be also appearing locally over the May Bank Holiday at Sound City and should be on your shortlist.

Saudi Minister of Defense Visits Pakistan
Agence France Presse (AFP) ISPR Saudi Press Agency (SPA)12.01.2016 KSA
Saudi Deputy Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz, Second Deputy Premier and Minister of Defense arrived Sunday in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan at the invitation of the Pakistani government, Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported.
Upon arrival at Jorgan Air Base Airport in Islamabad, he was received by Pakistani Defense Minister Khawaja Asif; Advisor to the Prime Minister for Foreign Affairs Sartaj Aziz, and number of officials.
He was also received by Saudi Ambassador to Pakistan Abdullah Al-Zahrani.
The official delegation accompanying the Deputy Crown Prince includes Minister of State and Cabinet's Member Dr. Musaed Al-Aiban; Minister of Culture and Information Dr. Adel Altoraifi and a number of officials.
Prince Mohammed bin Salman is the second top Saudi official to visit Pakistan in a week amid growing tension with Iran over Shiite cleric Nimr al-Nimr's recent execution.
"Muhammad Bin Abdullah Al-Ayish, Assistant Defense Minister for Military Affairs, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, visited General Headquarters and called on Chief of Army Staff General Raheel Sharif," the ISPR said in a statement last week.
"Matters related to regional security and bilateral defense collaboration including training exchanges came under discussion," it said.
The visits came after Saudi Arabia and several of its allies announced the severing or downgrading of diplomatic relations with Shiite powerhouse Iran.
Pakistan, a predominantly Sunni state, also has a large Shiite population.
Pakistani Army Chief General Raheel Sharif has reiterated that any threat to Saudi Arabia's territorial integrity will evoke a response from Islamabad.
General Sharif had in November 2015 travelled to Saudi Arabia for talks with Saudi King Salman on counter-terrorism cooperation. He also met with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Naif and Deputy Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

Despising Private Home-Based Homeschooling Education and Contorting Rights: A Review of Robin West's "A Tale of Two Rights"
July 10, 2016 /in Volume 32, Issue 3/by Brian D. Ray, Ph.D.
PERSPECTIVES – News and Comments1
Brian D. Ray
National Home Education Research Institute, Salem, Oregon
A person must read what certain academics professors write to grasp the full animus that some people have against parents directing the education of their own children. The extent to which some academics go to twist and turn philosophical and legal concepts against home education is sometimes rather astounding. One example is professor West's conception of civil "rights to enter" and "rights to exit" (West, 2014).
To understand West, one must know that she thinks the U.S. Congress and state legislatures "create rights" and should do so, and it is good that they do so. West holds the following:
Some of our most newly created civil rights, generally created by Congress and state legislatures rather than announced by courts, in effect extend to individuals [sic] various rights to enter civil society, or some civil project close to its core. I call these civil rights "rights to enter" – these include, for example, the right to a high quality and public education, the right to purchase health insurance at affordable costs, the right to a safe home and neighborhood free of gun violence, the right to nurture a newborn or sick family member while not losing one's job, the right to marry whom one loves regardless of sex …" (p. 894-895).
She likes these rights. Further, West believes that "These civil "rights to enter," … exemplify … a new idea that invites participation in a radically transformed civil society" (p. 896).
On the other hand, professor West writes about the evils of various "rights to exit." A taste of her thoughts can be found when she says that she identifies and criticizes
… a cluster of constitutional rights, which I argue do tremendous and generally unreckoned harm to civil Society … At the heart of the new paradigm of constitutional rights that I believe these rights exemplify is a "right to exit." On this conception of individual rights, a constitutional right is a right to "opt out" of some central public or civic project. ….. The particular exit rights that I enumerate – that is, the rights to exit from the benefits and responsibilities of public projects, including public education, publicly funded policing, civil rights commitments, and public health projects – harm civil society in profound ways not appreciated by rights critics in the 1970s and 1980s. (p. 893-894).
To develop her negative critique of parents being in charge of their own children's education, West develops her view of why the U.S. Supreme Court has made bad decisions regarding the Second Amendment (e.g., District of Columbia v. Heller) and claims that the Court has created a bad "… newfound constitutional right to own and use lethal weapons" (p. 895). She works hard to argue that "When coupled with the resulting stand your ground laws, Heller essentially grants a right to privatize the policing function of the civil state" (p. 899). The professor claims that this allows citizens to "exit" the right of the group to use and expect police to protect them from harm; she holds that this is a bad thing.
Likewise, West claims that legislatures and court decisions have essentially created the right of parents to "exit" the extremely important and essential social project that is tax-funded, state-controlled, public schooling. She believes that this is a bad thing.
The first thing many people will notice is that professor West believes it is good for elected lawmakers to create rights. This is a very different viewpoint from that of the founders of the United States and those who think that the Declaration of Independence and Constitution are the best representation of how the United States should operate. That is, the founders and these documents recognized rights given by a Creator and did not think that they, humans, were creating rights. West's view is also different from worldviews such as classical liberalism and Christianity.
Second, the West likes the idea of legislators using their power to "radically transform society." She is eager for herself and others of her philosophical-religious viewpoint to use others to change society and its beliefs to conform to her beliefs.
A clearly problematic aspect of West's understanding of state-run (public) schooling is that without it the United States would be a notably worse place than it is and would be a much less civil place. She never offers a foundation for such claims about tax-funded and government-controlled education and its effects on this nation. She apparently assumes that all of her readers agree with this unsupported implicit assertion. She never addresses the high rates of literacy in the United States before the advocates of statist education won their way. She never addresses the effectiveness of home-based education, privately funded schooling, apprenticeships, and on-the-job training that was the norm before state-school advocates got their way with the majority of children in the United States.
On this note, West also does not present the rates of illiteracy, drug abuse, alcohol abuse, bullying, child abuse, out-of-wedlock births, venereal diseases, and incarceration in the United States after 120 years of the large majority of children being taught, trained, and indoctrinated in statist public schools that she zealously promotes.
Fourth, professor West implies that families who practice homeschooling are pulling out of, or exiting, statist education and she is ignoring the reality of the U.S. situation regarding the education/schooling of children. That is, for most of the history of United States before the Supreme Court decision Pierce v. Society of Sisters in 1925, and for the 91 years since then, no parent has been required to use statist schools for their children. That is, parents have had to choose to opt in and go sign up their children at the local government public school. They did not and do not have to opt out of or exit public schools. When their son or daughter reaches age 6 or so, they have three choices: continue home educating them, enroll them in a private school, or enroll them in a statist public school. On this note, each state, by its constitution or some law, must only offer or make tax-funded government schools available for children. It is neither necessary nor required for parents to use statist schools.
he view of West and others of her persuasion is that if parents do not subject their children to the teaching, training, and indoctrination of statist schools then the parent is opting out of a necessary "social compact" (p. 910) that would make the United States a better place. West does not, however, offer empirical evidence that children not being indoctrinated by government schools is worse for the children or society.
West claims that Americans "… do not have a constitutional right to a high quality public education …" (p. 910) but do have a right to not subject their children to indoctrination by the State and homeschool them; and she bemoans both the first non-right and the second right. She clearly despises the idea that American parents are able to use "… curricular material of their own making …" and "… not … subject their children to …" public schools (p. 901).
Like others, this law professor clearly does not trust Americans to choose to voluntarily fund the education of their neighbors' children if the neighbors are too poor to purchase basic curriculum materials for homeschooling or to enroll their children in a low-cost private school. West wants the state to continue to force all Americans to pay for the education of all children. She apparently thinks that Americans are too selfish to volitionally help their neighbors in need.
West claims that homeschooling one's children is anti-Constitutional (p. 911) and that if too many families home educate then "… the idea of civil society itself, is seriously eroded" (p. 911). Further, by homeschooling and not opting one's children into statist schools, "… citizen-focused norms of liberalism and tolerance integral to the public curriculum are undermined" (p. 911). Again, she offers no empirical evidence to support any of these claims. (First, however, she would have to define her terms and convince her readers that her definitions are good and noble.)
In sum, one can see that thinkers like professor West believe that parent-led privately funded education is a bane to society, whether in the United States or elsewhere. With her claims of damage to society by parents and children homeschooling, however, she offers no empirical evidence to support such claims of damage. (In fact, much evidence exists that home education is good for society, as compared to the effects of state-run schooling (Murphy, 2012; Ray, 2013.) One can be sure, however, that West's philosophical-religious legal views are being passed on to more and more law students who will become some of the nation's legislators, judges, policymakers, and law professors. Whether those who think home education is good for children like it or not, influencers like professor West who despise parent-led home-based private homeschooling education are constantly on the move to try to suppress it.

Gordon Ramsay's Home-Made Raspberry Soufflé is often a delicious meal created from raspberries, eggs and Amaretto biscuits.
2. For the jam, mix together 1 c. raspberries, ¾ c. sugar and vanilla within a saucepan at medium heat until it reaches a thick consistency. Sift lots of people in order to remove seeds and set jam from the fridge so that you can cool down.
4. Take leftover raspberries and pour brandy over them. Set aside.
5. Crumble the amaretto biscuits. Set aside.
6. In a bowl, mix together 3 egg yolks, 1/4 c. sugar, and flour. Whisk.
7. Pour the cream mixture that had been brought to your boil to the same bowl and whisk again.
8. Pour the full mixture back to a saucepan and cook until it thickens. Once it thickens, pour it into another bowl and into the fridge to cool down.
9. Brush the insides of ramekins with butter, put from the grated chocolate and swish the ramekins around so it sticks towards the sides.
11. Put egg whites and ½ c. sugar into another bowl and mix until many experts have completely whipped. Stir within the whipped mixture in to the jam/pastry mixture. Set aside.

An event on Thursday at the Woodrow Wilson Center featured fascinating analysis of the uneasy state of science and environmental journalism. The panelists were (pictured, left to right): Seth Borenstein of the AP, Elizabeth Shogren of NPR, Jan Schaffer of J-Lab, and Peter Dykstra, formerly of CNN.
Borenstein set the tone: "The journalism business is like Detroit. We're getting it worse and we're getting it faster."
Examples from the other panelists and audience members drove home this point: The L.A. Times' D.C. bureau has closed. NPR has had big layoffs. Content-sharing agreements between former rival newspapers are increasingly happening, quite a change from the old days, when every paper and reporter wanted the scoop. Many bosses/editors see the environment as a "marginal beat." The Baltimore Sun has gone from three environment reporters to one. The Boston Globe has terminated its Health and Science section and now environment stories are placed in the Features section.
The was a lot of talk about how niche publications are taking the place of mainstream ones. For example, interested readers and experts can get more information about global warming than ever before from online sources such as Climate Wire, Mother Nature News, and Grist. But an average Joe still needs mainstream media reporters to pluck the most important news away from these niche publications because he won't go to Climate Wire (either because he doesn't know about it or won't pay for the pricey subscription). For more on this, there's a powerful new study by Pew about the growing importance of niche reporters in Washington D.C.
I could go on, but I'll mention one other point. The panel was about the future of environmental journalism. So what will environmental journalists be covering? Borenstein said it will be pork, waste, and stupid spending; and land mines left for Obama by the previous administration.
Shogren said programs in the economic stimulus package will provide endless stories. Will the electric grid get any smarter? Will people change the way they use electricity? How will the country decide to curtail our greenhouse gas emissions? What will happen with cap-and-trade money? Do climate bills fail because they look like pork? What will be the impacts of climate change?
The full two-hour Webcast of the event will be up soon here and a more in-depth article on last week's event appears online at the Columbia Journalism Review.

Agency Agita Lurks at Advertising Week
By Suzanne Vranica Dow Jones Newswires
At this year's Advertising Week gathering in New York, attendees will get a heavy dose of discussion about the future of marketing and how new technologies such as artificial intelligence and voice assistants may transform marketing.
But beneath the promises of an exciting tomorrow, attendees at the schmoozefest will also be confronting the enormous pressures facing the agencies at the heart of the business of advertising.
The world's biggest advertising companies, such as WPP PLC and Interpublic Group of Cos., are dealing with the slowest revenue growth since the recession and tumbling stock prices. Lackluster growth has brought broader concerns about the health of the agency business into sharp relief, with pressures coming from the pullback in spending from belt-tightening industries such as consumer package goods, the dramatic evolution of technology, and the emergence of new competitors.
As Google and Facebook continue to dominate digital advertising, the technology behemoths aren't escaping criticism themselves, as marketers look for more assurances about the effectiveness and quality of online ads.
On top of that, the very idea of convincing someone to buy a product using advertising is also being called into question, as consumers increasingly block disruptive ads and turn to the plethora of new commercial-free entertainment options.
"As an advertiser, I must tell you ads are dead," read a recent tweet from Lou Paskalis, senior vice president of media and investment for Bank of America. "The future is about things people want, not things they have to endure."
Mr. Paskalis says that marketing now must be "engineered to be relevant in order to engage an audience."
The festival is expected to tackle many of these thorny issues, as thousands of advertising, marketing, technology and media executives descend on Manhattan for the 14th annual Advertising Week conference, which will include 2 40 seminars, 52 workshops and countless parties.
One panel, entitled " Advertising Needs a Rebrand," is expected to discuss how agencies can shed the perception that they are "big, slow, expensive and only know television." Another will explore the hypothesis that agencies will cease to exist and try to explain what the future of the agency business looks like.
These are likely to be must-attend events for agency executives. Why? Collectively, WPP, Omnicom Group Inc., Interpublic, Publicis Groupe SA and Havas SA had organic global revenue growth of 0.7% in the second quarter, the worst performance since 2009, according to Brian Wieser, a senior research analyst at Pivotal Research Group.
Beside softening financial outlooks, marketers are continuing to push to reduce the fees they pay for agency services and some are pressing the firms for structural changes that can help foster better collaboration between sister agencies within the same sprawling ad empires.
Executives from Facebook and Google will also be in attendance, and the shadow of the "duopoly" will hang heavy over many discussions and strategy sessions. Last year, the two companies sucked up 77 cents of each new dollar spent on U.S. digital marketing thanks to the power of their ad targeting, and their dominance isn't slowing down. Last week, eMarketer raised its forecast for this year, estimating Facebook and Google will account for 63% of total U.S. digital ad spending.
On Monday, Facebook's vice president of global marketing solutions, Carolyn Everson, is expected to talk about how video is changing marketing, while Google's head of advertising and commerce, Sridhar Ramaswamy, will speak on Wednesday about the future of commerce.
On Wednesday, a panel dubbed " Minding the Machines" will discuss solving the tech industry's transparency issues from brand safety and the problems with measurement. The discussion is expected to include executives from ad buyer GroupM, Oath and Verizon Communications.
Although Facebook and Google have taken steps to improve their ad measuring processes and have put more safeguards in place to make sure ads don't appear near controversial content, marketers still have concerns.
A new study of marketing chiefs, expected to be released publicly on Tuesday, found that 72% of CMOs have concerns about safety and controls with their digital ad placements and are facing pressure internally to fix the issue. Roughly half of the 316 marketers who participated in the online survey said they are developing new guidelines to ensure ads are placed on appropriate sites, according to the study, which was commissioned by the CMO Council, a marketing trade group, and Dow Jones, parent of The Wall Street Journal. It was conducted late this summer.
On Tuesday, Mastercard's CMO, Raja Rajamannar will tackle the broader topic of how brands can reach consumers when there are over 600 million devices running ad-blocking software during a panel entitled: "Storytelling Is Dead."
It may be much-needed advice for companies that are struggling to figure out their next move as anti-advertising sentiment spreads. For example, several advertising trade groups united earlier this month to protest Apple's move to block advertisers from collecting certain data that helps them target ads to Apple device users.
Despite the litany of issues facing Madison Avenue, Mr. Wieser says don't write off storied agencies just yet. He believes they will find ways to evolve and reinvent.
"They are more like cockroaches than dinosaurs," he said.

Q: How to get Jenkins run same thing as "Inspect Code" does in Android Studio As we all know that we have Android Lint which can be integrated with Jenkins and helps us to verify our code per commit or per day.
But Lint is not the exact same thing with what we can do in Android Studio -> Analyze -> Inspect Code, which gives us a lot more warnings, and some of them are quite useful.
For instance, Unused Symbols, we may sometimes change the entire function which calls another and in the new implementation, we forget to make this call. If the target function belongs to the same file then you may notice that tiny yellow line, or you may not. What if it belongs to another file and the changed function was the only user of it?
Is there anyway to either make Lint be able to fire those warnings, or make Jenkins be able to run this "Inspect Code", collect results and break build when necessary? Doing this would be more efficient and reliable because we can't guarantee that everyone in the team is always run inspection locally.

Barcelona Opening Slowly / Dispatch From Isolation # 67
May 28, 2020 Artists
Barcelona, Spain has begun the process of re-opening the city from the confines of Covid-19. Lluis Olive, a frequent BSA collaborator tells us that phase I of re-opening includes bars and restaurants but only at 50% of their capacity. Stores under 400 square meters are also allowed to re-open. Groups up to 15 individuals are permitted to gather in public as well. For him this is a welcome relief for much needed open air.

And what does a street art fan and photographer do when you let him outside after weeks stuck in his home? That's right, he captures the voice of the artists in the public sphere.
Here Mr. Olive shares a few shots on the streets of Barcelona – artists' view on the pandemic.

It was around this time that Graham began to collect old shrub and climbing rose varieties, many of which had fallen out of favour, because they only flowered once during the season.
In June, the roses are accompanied by striking spires of white foxgloves. The gardens show historic, rare and contemporary roses, growing in unison with complimentary plants like foxgloves, salvia, campanulas, iris, daisies, nepeta and anemones. The centres of the borders are a mass of soft blues, pinks and whites, whilst stronger yellows, oranges and dark pinks draw your eye along the length of the border. While at Hillings, he in turn influenced fellow employee, Peter Beales, my next entry!
Planting schemes were based on form, foliage and texture, as well as flower colour. The northern section of the walled garden, with its wide paths, is deliberately planted with a cool colour palette to provide a counterpoint to the central rose garden.
He is also the holder of the National Collection of Rosa Species, holding more than types of wild species roses in Britain. It also has a two acre display garden, a gift shop with garden supplies, tools, books and rose-related products, and a licensed tea room and restaurant. The rose Graham Thomas is on the left of the walk and is the climbing form. The roses are displayed along paths and arches, including the iron St Albans Walkway, comprising of four arched walkways, jamcx yahoo dating joined together at the centre of a six metre gazebo.

Our Amazing Pioneers
Resources on "Understanding Singapore in the Past and Present"

This page supports students, teachers, and parents in Understanding Singapore in the Past and Present. It provides supplementary information on the book series, Our Amazing Pioneers.
Who were these amazing pioneers, who travelled from distant lands to search for adventure and fortune in Singapore? You will discover our pioneers' inspiring stories and learn how they made a difference to Singapore through their hard work, service, and sacrifice.
Who was Tan Tock Seng?
Tan Tock Seng was born in Malacca in 1798. When he was in his early twenties, he sailed to Singapore and arrived shortly after Sir Stamford Raffles established a British trading outpost. Tock Seng was one of the earliest immigrants in Singapore. He sold vegetables, fruits, and poultry. Within eight years, he opened a shop at Boat Quay. He eventually became a wealthy businessman and landowner.
He was often asked to settle disputes between Chinese migrants. This earned him the title of "Captain of the Chinese". He also became the first Asian to be appointed Justice of the Peace. He was a founding leader of the Hokkien Huay Kuan. The Huay Kuan helped Chinese migrants to find work and places to stay. He also gave money to build Thian Hock Keng, the temple at Telok Ayer Street.
A kind-hearted merchant named Cham Chan Sang started a hospital fund by leaving behind some money when he passed away in 1844. To make the hospital a reality, Tock Seng added more money from his own pocket. With community support, the foundation stone for "The Chinese Pauper's Hospital" was laid at its original location at Pearl's Hill. Today, this hospital is known as Tan Tock Seng Hospital.
In 1850, Tan Tock Seng passed away from an unknown disease. He was only 52 years old.
Who was Tan Kim Seng?
Tan Kim Seng was born in 1806 in Malacca. He came to Singapore when he was old enough to be married. He soon set up Kim Seng & Company and joined the Singapore Chamber of Commerce. Kim Seng traded in spices and commodities, and never in opium, a damaging drug. He eventually became the richest man in Singapore and Malacca.
Tan Kim Seng gave generously to the community. He started the first Chinese school in Singapore. He built Kim Seng Road, connecting River Valley Road to Havelock Road, for public use. He also built a bridge, Kim Seng Bridge. When Tan Tock Seng passed away, Kim Seng stepped up to lead Tan Tock Seng Hospital. He was also made Justice of the Peace.
In the 1800s, there were many riots in Singapore. During the riots, Kim Seng and Teochew merchant Seah Eu Chin were called upon by the British authorities to help bring about peace.
Kim Seng donated a large sum of money to the government to bring a more dependable fresh water supply to town. In fact, Chinatown is informally referred to as "Bullock Cart Water" in Chinese because water was brought into town on bullock carts.
However, the waterworks were unfortunately not completed while Kim Seng was still alive. The British marked his generous donation by dedicating a water fountain to his memory.
Who was Naraina Pillai?
Naraina Pillai is credited with building the Sri Mariamman Temple. Photograph taken by Shawn Seah.
Not much is known about Naraina Pillai, but from what is known, he came to Singapore with Sir Stamford Raffles. Naraina Pillai first worked as a coin inspector, but later went into business. He was a building contractor and cotton merchant.
Although he lost everything in a fire, Naraina Pillai made a comeback through grit, hard work, and the kindness of others. To give back to society, he built what later became Sri Mariamman temple and served the Indian community as a community leader. He is remembered today in the form of Pillai Road.
There was a statue of Naraina Pillai that once stood along the bank of the Singapore River.
What occasion was it that led to the making of Naraina Pillai's statue? It was the occasion when Singapore marked 200 years since Sir Stamford Raffles landed in Singapore. The statue of Naraina Pillai, as well as other amazing pioneers like Sang Nila Utama and Tan Tock Seng, shows that the Singapore we know today was built by many communities and different people over the years.
Everyone has a part to play in building a better Singapore.
Who was Tan Seng Poh?
Artist's impression of an opium pipe. Illustrated by Jeyasoorya and commissioned by Shawn Seah.
Tan Seng Poh (ca. 1828 – 1879) was an important Teochew merchant and community leader. The son of the Kapitan Cina (leader of the Chinese) of Perak in Malaya, he came to Singapore when he was nine years old to accompany his sister. She married the "King of Gambier and Pepper", Seah Eu Chin.
Seng Poh stayed and studied in Singapore and worked for his brother-in-law, rising from an assistant to the manager of the firm. While he successfully bought and sold cotton and tea, he also traded harmful vices, such as opium, which were legal under British rule. (Today, opium and other harmful substances are illegal in Singapore. These undesirable substances hurt families and destroy lives.)
In the later part of his life, Seng Poh gave back to society. He raised money for charitable causes. He worked on improving the city for almost a decade. He maintained peace and order in Singapore.
Seng Poh passed away in 1879 after many years of service.
He is remembered in street names as well as in the name of a park, Seng Poh Garden. Located along Seng Poh Road at Tiong Bahru, Seng Poh Garden is a popular attraction today with a sculpture called Dancing Girl. From certain angles, the girl looks like a swan, ready to take flight and soar.
There is another interesting fact about the street names at Tiong Bahru. There is a street called Eu Chin Street, perpendicular to Seng Poh Road, and close to Seng Poh Garden.
Eu Chin Street is named after Seah Eu Chin. He was none other than Seng Poh's brother-in-law!
Who was Ngeow Cher Seong?
Kerongsang. Illustrated by Jeyasoorya and commissioned by Shawn Seah.
Ngeow Cher Seong (1910–1977) was a Hakka migrant from China who made good in Singapore and settled down to start a family. His silversmithing business was ruined when the Japanese invaded Singapore. Cher Seong was detained by the Japanese, but was released after a few weeks, as they must have determined that he had nothing to do with supporting the war in China.
However, picking himself up after the Occupation, and learning goldsmithing skills from the Indian community, Cher Seong and his family overcame many hardships. Throughout his life, he had a close working relationship with the Indian community.
The Ngeow family started taking more and more jobs from the Indian community, specialising in the Batu Pahat style of Indian jewellery. Batu Pahat Indian jewellery broadly refers to traditional Indian-style jewellery. Cher Seong worked closely with Indians, especially craftsmen, in the operation of his business.
He also took on commissioned work from Peranakan families, to produce customised jewellery. Peranakan jewellery was individually handcrafted by skilled craftsmen and often featured intricate details.
Eventually, Ngeow Cher Seong passed away in 1977, aged 67.
Who was Syed Omar bin Ali Aljunied?
Born in Hadramaut in Yemen in 1792, Syed Omar travelled to Southeast Asia when he was 24 years old. He first settled in Palembang, Sumatra, before coming to Singapore with his uncle soon after Singapore was founded. He tapped into a regional network of traders stretching from the Red Sea to the Malay Archipelago.
Syed Omar enjoyed the Malay rulers' trust because he was a direct descendant of the Prophet Mohammad, which brought him the title of Prince of the Malays. The Muslim community also looked up to him as a holy man.
Even as he prospered from trade and property investments, he also gave back to society, bridging between different faiths and cultures. He commissioned the first mosque in Singapore, the Masjid Omar Kampong Melaka in 1820. He also donated land for St Andrew's Cathedral and the Chinese Pauper Hospital, which eventually became known as Tan Tock Seng Hospital.
Syed Omar passed away in 1852, but his name lives on.
Who was Syed Mohamed Alsagoff?
Born in Singapore to a prominent family, Syed Mohamed Alsagoff eventually became a leader of the Muslim community. Because of his mother, Princess Raja Sitti, he was considered of Bugis royal descent. He was a talented merchant, owning and running many companies including Alsagoff and Company, the Singapore Steam Ship Company and the Straits Cycle and Motor Company.
Syed Mohamed contributed to Singapore in many ways, including serving on the Municipal Commission, donating money to charitable causes, and even starting a school in his family home.
After his passing in 1906, the Alsagoff Arab School that bears his family name was started.
Who was Edwin Tessensohn?
Edwin Tessensohn (1855–1926) arrived in Singapore when he was 15. He worked in the shipping industry, linking East and West, and later opened his own firm.
Tessensohn enjoyed cricket and tennis. He was later elected president of the Singapore Recreation Club, formed by a group of Eurasians in 1883, and served a total of 25 years.
At the time, many Eurasians felt the need for an association to protect their interests and promote their advancement. Tessensohn became patron of the Eurasian Literary Association, which organised lectures, debates and classes. Later, the Eurasian Association was founded and Tessensohn became a committee member and patron.
Tessensohn actively participated with the Singapore Volunteer Corps. During World War I, the Eurasians were keen to support the war effort and Tessensohn, among others, proposed forming a Eurasian Company. Eventually, the Eurasian Company was set up in 1918 with 100 members. Tessensohn was later appointed to the advisory committee.
Tessensohn was also appointed a municipal commissioner and Justice of the Peace. His dedication to public service led to his appointment as the first Eurasian member of the Legislative Council of the Straits Settlements in 1923.
Tessensohn passed away in 1926, but his legacy of leadership and service lives on.

He led Teochew clan leaders to form the Ngee Ann Kongsi, a welfare organisation that supported the needs of Teochew migrants. He also supported Tan Tock Seng Hospital. When there were riots, he helped bring peace. For contributing to law and order, he was appointed Justice of the Peace, Grand Juror and magistrate.
He passed away in 1883, aged 78, one of Singapore's oldest inhabitants then.

Who was Seah Liang Seah?
The second son of Teochew leader Seah Eu Chin, Seah Liang Seah (1850–1925) was born in Singapore. When he was a child, Liang Seah studied Chinese with a private tutor under his father's supervision and learnt English at St. Joseph's Institution.
At the age of 17, Seah Liang Seah got married, after which he became an assistant in Eu Chin & Co., his father's company. He worked for many years as his father's secretary.
In 1883, Seah Liang Seah was appointed a member of the Legislative Council. He was the first Singapore-born Chinese appointed. In August 1900, Seah Liang Seah and other prominent Straits Chinese, Tan Jiak Kim, Dr Lim Boon Keng, and Sir Song Ong Siang among them, founded the Straits Chinese British Association (SCBA). This association has lasted till today, and is now named the Peranakan Association Singapore.

Берестове́ — село в Україні, у Берестівській сільській громаді Бердянського району Запорізької області. Населення становить 2287 осіб.

Географія
Село Берестове знаходиться на березі річки Берестова, нижче за течією примикає село Троїцьке. По селу протікає кілька пересихаючих струмків з загатами. Через село проходить автомобільна дорога .

Історія
В X—XI ст. ст. на території Берестового протягом тривалого часу перебували кочові племена. Від тих часів збереглися 14 кам'яних баб.

Село засноване у 1801 році державними селянами — переселенцями з
Полтавської та Чернігівської губерній, які спорудили свої оселі біля невеликої річки. Від заростей береста вздовж берегів здобула назву річка, а за її найменуванням — і село. Тоді ж на берегах річок Берестової та Берди, у яку впадає Берестова, засновано невеликі хутори Довбин, Ланців, Тристанові і Сачки, що мали по 5—7 дворів кожний. У 1806 році в Берестовому вже налічувалося 1846 жителів, у тому числі 1005 чоловіків та 841 жінка.

До 1833 року першопоселенці користувалися такою кількістю землі, яку могли обробити, оскільки вільних ділянок було ще багато. До села прибували все нові й нові групи переселенців, серед них — багато втікачів від кріпацтва з північних губерній України. У зв'язку зі зростанням населення кількість вільних ділянок землі швидко зменшувалась, а 1833 року, коли село стало волосним центром, землю поділили на ревізькі душі; Берестове об'єдналося з навколишніми хуторами в одну земельну общину.

У перші десятиріччя XIX ст. в господарстві селян переважало тваринництво, розводили головним чином овець. Зростання промислових міст після реформи 1861 року посилювало попит на сільськогосподарські продукти, у першу чергу на хліб. У Берестовому, як і в інших селах, головним напрямком господарства стало рільництво, насамперед вирощування пшениці на продаж.

За даними перепису 1886 року в селі налічувалося 1332 двори, проживало близько 10 тис. чоловік, що входили до складу двох общин: Берестівської та Вибоєвської.

Напередодні першої світової війни Берестове було великим селом, де у 2012 дворах проживало 18,6 тис. жителів. Забудова його проходила безпланово, роботи по впорядкуванню не проводилися. Тільки три десятки багатіїв спорудили цегляні будинки, криті черепицею. Переважна більшість селян ставила хати з саману, вкриваючи їх соломою. Садів навколо осель не було, лише в низинних місцях понад річкою з давніх часів збереглися берестові порослі.

Селяни здебільшого обходилися примітивними саморобними меблями, простим домотканим одягом і взуттям власного виготовлення. У невеликих приватних крамницях, що існували в селі, біднота купувала лише сіль, гас, сірники та інші найнеобхідніші речі.

Медична допомога для селян була майже недоступною. Протягом ста років у селі не було ніяких медичних закладів, серед населення ширились епідемічні захворювання. Наприклад, у 1899 році від різних хвороб померло 383 чоловіка, у тому числі 243 дитини. Земську лікарню на 12 ліжок відкрито лише на початку XX ст. Працювали у ній лікар, 2 фельдшери й акушерка. Лікарня обслуговувала дільницю з населенням понад ЗО тис. чоловік. Не дивно, що середня тривалість життя селян Берестового на цей час становила 21,2 року.

Відкрите 1854 року однокласне міністерське училище охоплювало всього 133 учні. На клопотання Берестівської общини за рішенням Бердянських повітових земських зборів восени 1876 року в селі відкрили друге однокласне земське училище, а через два роки — третє. 1900 року, коли в селі налічувалося 14 тис. жителів, навчалося лише 563 учні, 1478 дітей шкільного віку залишалося поза школою. Протягом 1900—1905 рр. земство відкрило в селі ще три початкові однокласні школи, у всіх школах вчилося менше половини дітей. Та більшість з них через півроку залишала школу, бо кожній трудовій сім'ї потрібні були робочі руки.

Трудящі Берестового примножували, розвивали самобутню народну культуру. Майстерні вишивальниці прикрашали чудовими візерунками рушники, сорочки тощо. Родини гончарів виготовляли розмальовані миски, глечики, горщики, макітри, дитячі іграшки.

На початку 1925 року в селі налічувалося 2393 двори, де проживало 13,6 тис. чоловік.

Населення
Згідно з переписом УРСР 1989 року чисельність наявного населення села становила 2971 особа, з яких 1316 чоловіків та 1655 жінок.

За переписом населення України 2001 року в селі мешкало 2800 осіб.

Learning the marketing secrets of Squid Game
Tay Ling
Vice President, TBA Hong Kong
South Korean drama Squid Game has become a surprise global phenomenon, drawing more than 110 million viewers and becoming the most popular series on Netflix since its mid-September release. But why was it so resoundingly successful? The answer to that question offers many valuable lessons for marketers seeking to increase campaign ROI.
1. Its basic ingredients resonated with audiences
Break down Squid Game to its basic moving parts, and you're left with universally relatable things such as childhood games, personal actions and consequences, and the struggle to learn lessons from those consequences and improve as people – to salvage positives from negatives. There's no need to explain such things at length; audience members instantly understand the themes, identify with characters, and invest in the story.
Learn about the background and common characteristics of your target audience
Use your audience knowledge to devise a theme or themes that reflects what they have in common
Develop content around the theme(s), including immersive experiences that amplify their resonance
Example: OPPO at ChinaJoy 2021
At ChinaJoy 2021, the OPPO booth's 'Case Closed' exhibition invited visitors to join an immersive mini escape room game designed around OPPO products. Participants searched for clues at check-in points hidden in a display of limited-edition products and backdrops of famous animation scenes. Their correct or incorrect solutions to the mystery triggered different special effects. The 'Case Closed' zone also physically debuted customised mobile phones and other limited products, ensuring that it would attract a constant stream of fans.
Example: HP Indonesia – Play to Progress virtual launch
With Indonesia in lockdown, HP Indonesia's online launch of HP's OMEN 16 and Victus 16 gaming PCs created a challenge of bringing the event's excitement and engagement to a housebound audience of gamers, media and partners. The launch was accordingly developed as a virtual interactive 'choose your own adventure' affair, enriched with product commentary from professional gamers and key HP Indonesia staff, AR content, Q&A opportunities, and a lucky draw.
Primed by an online pre-event campaign, guests were greeted to the platform and introduced to its gamified format by a holographic emcee. Scanning a QR code unlocked the launch in the form of a personalised video journey through different product experiences. As in a game, visitors' own choices would determine their route through the story.

Further examples include the recent HP Malaysia – Virtual Partners event, which featured an AR virtual scavenger hunt game; and the Mother Tongue Languages Symposium 2021, featuring an 'online quest mode' in the form of a story-based interactive digital game for Gen Alpha visitors.
2. It got everybody talking
A true sign that Squid Game had struck a chord was that the viewer experience didn't end with the roll of the final credits; instead, everybody who saw the show talked about it with friends, family and colleagues. 'Easter eggs' hidden throughout the episodes reinforced viewers' compulsion to scrutinise, speculate and discuss every detail of the programme. Many scenes even generated popular social media memes, helping the programme go viral as people attempted to find the 'source material'.
The word-of-mouth marketing ensured a steady flow of new viewers, all wanting to find out themselves what all the excitement was about.
Make your campaign unique, surprising and even humorous. No trend was ever kicked off by a completely predictable campaign.
Up-to-date content marketing shows younger audience members that the brand actually understands their needs and point of view.
Example: Gucci memes to the young
In 2017, luxury fashion brand Gucci began using memes in a marketing effort to connect with a younger generation of consumers. The brand even devised a 'TFWGucci' hashtag, in which TFW stands for 'the feeling when'. A Renaissance painting was employed as a final touch to make the meme viral, whilst supporting Gucci's image as a paragon of luxurious high style.
Example: Escape Room Experience at Midea Pop-up Store
A gamified pop-up store in Chengdu was at the core of a 2021 campaign to engage a young, tech-savvy audience with the Midea brand. Inside the store, visitors were introduced to a new promotional character, 'M Bo', by searching for clues amid Midea products and apps to restore its lost memories. Winners were entered into a gift draw.
Extensive online content was integral to the pop-up store experience. It included an online promotional game on Midea's WeChat H5 page, and KOLs from tech, gaming and other popular channels on platforms including Weibo, Douyin, Kwai, Youku and iQiyi. During the broadcast of the live experience, the KOLs enabled online fans to interact with Escape Room users by voting on their actions.
In all, the pop-up store and online campaign gained over 150 million impressions, as well as more than 140 million livestream views. More than 95% of participants were from the targeted '35 years old or under' audience group.
3. The visuals were memorable
Nobody who has watched even one episode of Squid Game is likely to forget the experience soon. Much of its staying power is down to visually striking scenes, costumes and scenery, all of which also did their part to arouse audiences' curiosity.
Marketing lesson
Content is king, so it makes sense to guarantee the impact of your content marketing with striking visuals. Visual storytelling also brings your marketing message to life.
Example: CENTRESTAGE
The 2021 edition of this premier Hong Kong fashion event gained more raves than ever thanks to an innovative fusion of physical and virtual elements. On the runway, XR technology was combined with a creative show to create an impactful and especially immersive experience. For online viewers, the show was livestreamed through the CENTRESTAGE website, Facebook and Instagram, enhanced with added AR effects for yet another layer of experience.
Source from HKTDC YouTube channel
Squid Game may be the latest Netflix sensation, but its success is underpinned by a truly classical approach to delivering a story. Its makers have taken care to know their audience, respond to what the audience regards as meaningful, and do it all in an original way that lends itself to striking imagery.
If it worked for Squid Game, it is a timely reminder of what will work for a successful marketing campaign.


When Lauren was 14 weeks pregnant she learned that Brighton has Down syndrome. Then at 22 weeks pregnant, the Mansours learned that Brighton was not growing at a typical rate (this is known as IUGR - Intrauterine Growth Restriction). Because of IUGR and complications with the blood flow from the umbilical cord, Brighton and his twin sister were born 8 weeks premature.
Brighton turned 2 on October 1st and he is home now with his family. Brighton was using oxygen 24/7 up until early September to help his underdeveloped lungs but because he has gained so much physical strength his doctors have recently been able to take him off the oxygen, thanks in part to all the therapies he's received. He also requires a G-tube for feeding because of his low muscle tone, which caused aspiration during bottle feeds, and he's still learning to eat by mouth, as it takes a lot of coordination and strength. Brighton continues to go to Children's in Warren for outpatient physical, occupational, and feeding therapies 3 days a week. The Mansours find their appointments at Children's comforting and look forward to seeing Brighton's therapists each week. They are working toward helping Brighton gain more independence, sitting up on his own and moving about with crawling.

Kinetic Classic. The No 1 seller in the ProKennex line for 8 straight years.
Adding a second energy soucre makes the difference. All racquets have a single energy source, the frame. ProKennex has developed a proven second energy source through its patented Kinetic System. The term "Kinetic Explosion," used to define the incomparable energy release that takes place in the Kinetic Series racquets, shot after shot, accurately describes the impact the technology is having on consumers. ProKennex feels a deep commitment to helping players with their game while at the same time increasing the longevity of their playing ability.With 56% incident of tennis elbow among tennis players, the market for this technology is in demand.
Kinetic Technology: It's all about kinetic energy. As you swing the Kinetic racquet forward, tiny elements of kinetic mass, housed in dozens of chambers around the racquet head, are storing energy.
When the ball hits the strings, the strings flex and the ball compresses. The ball speed drops to zero. The ball and strings are now loaded with energy.
Finally, the racquet frame flexes backward as your swing continues. Going with the flow, the ball assumes the racquet's forward speed.
Forces are now in place to set off a scientifically calculated Kinetic reaction.
The ball and strings now start releasing their stored energy causing the ball to go faster than the racquet. At this momegy release from the ball and strings triggers the kinetic mass. It explodes forward in all 100 chambers. This activated mass joins with the mass of the racquet to increase the area of efficiency of the hitting surface and magnify the possi ls after you've hit the ball? That ripple of vibration? The Kinetic System virtually eliminates this sensation. Once the ball leaves the strings, the tiny elements of kinetic mass actively damp this now-useless energy. This vibration is absorbed as it attempts to work its way through layers of active kinetic mass. The vibration energy is efficiently quieted. You'll notice a huge reduction in wear and tear on your body and an increase in the efficiency as a player.

As you approach age 65 – and, presumably, retirement – there is action required from you as it relates to Medicare. As a reminder, Medicare is a federal program that provides hospital insurance and some medical insurance to older Americans and those under sixty-five with certain disabilities.
Medicare is comprised of four different parts, A through D. Medicare parts A and B are sometimes called "original Medicare" and provide the bulk of the plan's medical coverage.
Medicare Part A provides coverage if you're ever admitted to the hospital. Part A also provides limited coverage for skilled nursing services and long-term care hospital stays and hospice service.
Medicare Part A has no monthly premiums. This coverage is "free" to you because over the course of your working career you paid taxes for this coverage. Because of this, you should "opt in" for at least Part A, at minimum.
Medicare Part B provides coverage for your more mundane medical needs (i.e. preventative care including checkups, lab tests, X-rays, mental health services, flu shots, etc.) as well as basic medical equipment including crutches, canes, oxygen equipment, wheelchair/scooters, and ambulance services.
The cost of Medicare Part B is correlated to your household monthly income. The standard or base premium for 2019 is $135.50/month, not including co-pays for office visits. If you are collecting Social Security, that amount would be deducted from your monthly benefit. If you are not yet collecting Social Security, you will receive a monthly invoice for the premium.
For calculating your actual premium, Medicare looks at your Modified Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI) from two years ago. Based upon that figure, your premium could be higher than $135.50/month.
When you retire, obviously your income will be substantially less than it was while you were working. Because Medicare looks at your income from two years ago to calculate your premium, this might cause concern.
Retiring qualifies as having "stopped working or reduced your work hours". Requesting that your income be adjusted requires submitting a form (SSA-44 a "life changing event") along with all the pertinent documentation to prove that you have, in fact, stopped working.
Next Week: Retirement And Medicare, Part Two. Check back for a look at Medicare Part C and D and how they can impact your retirement plans.
