Vitamin D deficiency in pregnancy – a failure of public health policy?
In order to understand the extent of serum vitamin D deficiency we measured vitamin D levels in an unselected multi-ethnic population of pregnant women. We report the prevalence of insufficiency and deficiency, explore risk factors and discuss the public health implications. This report may be the first of its kind.
Sample women with sufficient stored serum were randomly selected from among all women who had delivered in year 2008/09. Serum vitamin D levels were determined using liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry). Vitamin D levels were analyzed with respect to ethnicity (as marker for skin tone), calendar quartile, body mass index trimester and parity. Deficiency was defined as < 25 nmol/L, insufficiency 25 - 75 nmol/L, and adequacy > 75 nmol/L.
Three hundred and forty six women were included and represented the total population in terms of skin tone, quartile, BMI, gestation, and parity. Overall, 18% (95% CI: 15% to 23%) of sample women had adequate vitamin D levels; 36% were deficient, 45% insufficient. Among women with dark skin, only 8% (95% CI: 5% to 12%) had adequate levels compared to 43% (95% CI: 33% to 53%) of those with light skin. Obese women were found have significantly lower Vitamin D levels than non-obese women.
Vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency are prevalent year round among pregnant women in northwest London, especially those with darker skin. Existing supplementation guidelines should be supported however; other measures are required to improve status among all women.

MPs To Vote On Cigarette Packaging
MPs are to hold a crunch vote today on controversial plans to introduce plain cigarette packets.
The regulations were discussed and agreed by a committee earlier this week and will now be subject to a free vote on the floor of the House.
The Scottish Government has agreed to consider following any moves made by Westminster.
There have been suggestions that more than 80 Tories could be among those opposing the plans - which critics argue will not prevent people smoking, are being introduced too hastily, and could confuse consumers.
This as reasearch shows more than a third of smokers are putting their loved ones' health at risk by lighting up at home, a study has found.
The findings showed that despite the dangers of passive smoking, the majority of people are more worried about the health of the smoker.
This concern has led to more half of those questioned pleading with the smoker in their lives to quit.
The statistics have been released by the British Heart Foundation, which is urging people to give up the habit and put their families first today, No Smoking Day.
Some 18% of the 2,000 people surveyed wrongly believe that opening windows offers them protection from the harmful effects of cigarette smoke, the research found.
The majority of harmful chemicals in cigarette smoke are invisible and opening a window does little to prevent the harm of passive smoking reaching other people.
Passive smoke leads to an increased risk of coronary heart disease and other health problems such as asthma. Children are particularly at risk and passive smoking appears to more than double the risk of developing bacterial meningitis.
Youngsters who are exposed to smoking in their homes are more than three times more likely to smoke than those who are brought up in smoke-free environments.
Kicking the habit is the single best thing a smoker can do for their health and the health of those around them, said the BHF.
The charity's associate medical director, Dr Mike Knapton, said: "Every week, thousands of children are exposed to passive smoke in enclosed spaces, putting them at greater risk of respiratory infections, asthma, and sudden infant death. Simply opening a window does not protect your children from breathing in harmful chemicals.
"Smoking is not healthy for smokers or for the people around them. If you're a smoker and looking to quit, reach out to your pharmacist or local stop smoking team on No Smoking Day for information and advice. Join the nearly one million smokers in the UK who are expected to quit this No Smoking Day.''

Simon Cowell in hospital having broken his back in a bike accident
"He's doing fine, he's under observation and is in the best possible hands."
Deirdre Molumby
Simon Cowell broke his back over the weekend while test riding his electric bicycle.
The incident occurred on Saturday afternoon in Malibu, California.
Simon's son Eric, his partner Lauren Silverman and Silverman's child by a previous marriage were with Cowell when the accident happened.
Cowell underwent surgery for his back last weekend and is now recovering in a hospital.
A representative for Cowell said: "Simon had a fall from his bike on Saturday afternoon whilst testing his new electric bike in the courtyard at his house in Malibu with his family.
"He hurt his back and was taken to the hospital. He's doing fine, he's under observation and is in the best possible hands."
The rep for the 'America's Got Talent' host also said that he "has broken his back in a number of places."
The hospital in which the surgery took place was not disclosed.
Cowell's overnight, six-hour surgery included placement of a metal rod. Lauren Silverman accompanied him to the hospital and was allowed to briefly visit him.
Simon Cowell will not be participating in this Tuesday or Wednesday's telecasts of 'America's Got Talent'. He will thus miss the first live shows of the series.
Cowell's fellow judges Howie Mandel and Heidi Klum sent him well wishes as did Sofia Vergara.
A post shared by Sofia Vergara (@sofiavergara)
The record exec himself meanwhile seemed in good spirits sharing this "good advice." He thanked all for their kind messages as well as the doctors and nurses at the hospital he is staying in.

The Junior League of Asheville (JLA) invites the Buncombe County community to join in a domestic violence panel hosted at UNC Asheville on March 31, 2016 at 7pm at the Highsmith Student Union Room #159.
Domestic violence is the most widespread form of violence against women in the United States with one in four women experiencing domestic violence during their lifetime. However, the victims of domestic violence are not limited to women; nearly 3 million domestic violence victims every year are men. Though domestic violence is tragic enough in its occurrence, it can also lead to homelessness, absentee parents and a pattern of abuse in children who witness the violence. In Buncombe County alone, around 2,000 women annually experience some form of domestic abuse.
For more information contact The Junior League of Asheville at (828) 254-5608.

Darwin playwright Tessa Rose sheds light on life's dark corners in one-woman show The Daly River Girl
By Stephanie Zillman
Posted Fri 3 Nov 2017 at 1:06am Friday 3 Nov 2017 at 1:06am Fri 3 Nov 2017 at 1:06am
Tessa Rose opens up about her personal life in the one-woman play The Daly River Girl. (ABC News: Stephanie Zillman)
abc.net.au/news/darwin-playwright-sheds-light-on-lifes-dark-corners/9105152
Northern Territory actress and playwright Tessa Rose is laying her life bare on stage.
In a one-woman show about to open in Darwin, audiences will see a personal story that's all too familiar to many.
The Daly River Girl explores painful themes in Rose's life, like being removed from her mother and community, and growing up in a non-Indigenous foster family in Perth.
"The first memory I have is of me screaming, screaming and being dropped off to Family One's house," Rose recalls early in the play.
As a first-time playwright, Rose is using her experience from acting in numerous Sydney Theatre Company productions over her 20-year career, and her performances in popular small-screen series like Redfern Now, Glitch, and Cleverman.
But turning her focus from the stage to the page was not easy at first.
"I started to just write and write and write … get it all out, there was no rhyme or reason to it – I just started with point forms just to get it all out," she said.
"It brought up a lot of emotional pain for me, that's why it's taken so long — four years — and a lot of creative development to get it on the stage."
'I was determined to prove I was a blackfella'
There is also a healthy dose of comedy — like in a scene when Rose's aunt orders the 11-year-old Tessa to go fishing at a billabong in Daly River.
Determined not to show she was afraid of crocodiles, Rose declares: "I was determined to prove I was a blackfella!"
In another scene, Robert Palmer's 1985 classic Addicted to Love blasts from the speakers, and Rose re-enacts a younger version of herself dancing while getting ready for a night on the town, in diamante-encrusted high heels.
"There's laughter and lightness all throughout the play, and also moments with my daughter Tyler that will bring a smile to everyone's face," she said.
"It's not just all doom and gloom.
"Originally I was determined for it to be dark, but after talking it through I realised you need to have the light and shade."
Director Alex Galeazzi explained the play incorporated film, sound and animation.
"They're elements of her life she's gifting to the audience, and it's very theatrical," he said.
"With her dance training, it's so easy to direct Tessa because we understand each other so well.
"And when something's crap, 99 per cent of the time we agree, and it gets cut from the script!"

As another NFL Draft approaches this weekend, I think everyone knows by now that I'm really going to be paying attention one thing above all else: what happens with the running backs.
I'm very interested to see where Saquon Barkley and other top running backs are chosen, and how that trickles down to the rest of the league. It's another important step for the position.
Even though running backs like LeVeon Bell, Ezekiel Elliott and Todd Gurley have had a huge impact on the league in the last couple years, the position continues to remain undervalued in a way that should—and needs—to change.
It's crazy, but since the days of myself, Adrian Peterson and Chris Johnson, salaries for running backs haven't grown at the level that many other positions have.
In fact, things haven't really progressed at all for running backs in the last 10 years, since I signed my big deal with St. Louis back in 2008. And with inflation, and the money being thrown around in the game of football these days, there's no way that you can tell me that my 2008 contract should be rivaling the biggest deals being signed by running backs today.
I don't really understand it, especially because all the positions on a football team—at least to a degree—benefit one another.
The quarterback benefits from the running back and the O-line and the receivers. The receiver benefits from the quarterback and the protection of the offense. The DBs get interceptions because the defensive line puts pressure on the quarterback. We all depend on each other. So it feels like an unfair argument when you treat the running back as a disposable position.
But that's how it's been. It is even more fragmented and segmented when you put it by position. And I think that comes back to the responsibility players have toward their peers, as running backs.
Some guys don't understand that we stand on each other's shoulders, and that the way to help ourselves long-term is to take strong stances. That's how you move the ball forward.
That's why I'm so impressed by Le'Veon Bell, and why I'm in complete agreement with the stance he's taking.
It's a huge risk that Le'Veon is taking, signing these year-to-year deals. At the same time, you need somebody like that that is willing to not only take the risk on himself, but understand how to move and progress this position forward. I think that's what he is trying to do.
If there's anyone who's qualified to do it, it's Le'Veon. Not only is he a three-down back—he is electrifying. He draws attention. He commands the audience. All those things have to be taken into consideration.
If you're the best player on your team—or one of the best in the league, for that matter—you should be looked upon as someone with greater value than what the position is ordinarily worth in the market.
A SEISMIC SHIFT
Look at what happened with Kirk Cousins this offseason. He bet on himself, playing on the franchise tag for a couple seasons, and it got him a fully guaranteed contract.
I think that is another progressive step that we as players needed to see taken, and I was really wowed by Minnesota being willing to go out on that limb.
I hope and I will for certain encourage all players to push their agents toward this idea of getting as much as you can guaranteed. I think the conversation and negotiations need to move forward more in the likeness of what happened with Cousins.
However, I don't think that's something that should be reserved for the quarterback position. It should be considered for any players who are elite and deserving of it. Those guys go out there, play at a very high level, entertaining the world. And any time you have something that is new and groundbreaking like Kirk Cousins was able to pull off, all guys should be able to take advantage of it, if they are worthy of it.
Typically when you're negotiating a contract you're considering a number of things to balance out the numbers you end up with. You look at how they value you as a player, what they have on the salary cap, what's available, what the team's long-term plan is, and the length of time of commitment to the team. It's a combination of all those things.
Of course, the quarterback position is treated a little different. But what is important for all of us to take notice of is when you give the quarterback — or that marquee player — a lion's share of the salary cap, it really hurts the rest of the roster to build a solid team around them. So while Cousins is making a big number each year on this guaranteed deal, because there's not a huge signing bonus attached, it's not that $40-million cap hit you see in some places. Those bonuses can be crippling.
That's why when you look at some of the teams that have risen up in the last several years, outside of the Patriots with Tom Brady, most of the quarterbacks have been on their rookie contracts and the teams have been able to surround them with great talent, because they had the fluidity under their salary cap to build the roster up. It's been a direct result of the cap on draft salaries, which changed everything.
But that doesn't mean everyone but the quarterback should sacrifice after their rookie contract. There has to be a balance. And I believe that starts with job security. Brady has job security in New England, along with great belief and knowledge that the Patriots are going to surround him with high-quality talent. They may not go and sign the big names, but they know exactly what they are looking for on the team, as well as what guys they can bring in to fit their scheme. So there's job security and then there's a promise of future success.
It's a different level of trust than you see elsewhere around the league. So, what would it take for other guys to be able to buy into that? I think, for me, I would have needed to know that, if I don't get that huge signing bonus, a team will at least keep me around long enough to get another bite of the apple on my third contract. There has to be some sort of security in place for a player.
THE RESPONSIBILITY
Back in 2008, when I held out for my contract, it was hard to refute the argument I was making.
I had the yards to back up what I saw as my value. I had a clean bill of health, and I had a clean bill of character, too. The same can be said of Le'Veon. He's got all the talent in the world and good character, too. He's a great representation of a football player for the Steelers and the NFL—not just on Sundays, but every day of the year.
I'm sure he is going to have another battle on his hands, just because that's the way that teams have done business over the years. But for the tide to change back in favor of running backs, someone like Le'Veon has to be willing to force the issue.
Personally, I always kept that in mind and when I negotiated contracts. I looked forward, not only for myself but for the position itself and helping guys. It's a responsibility. When I was in my mid-20s, my contract set the table for the large contracts for the young group of running backs that followed me. When I was 30 years old, signing a good contract in Atlanta, I thought about the next crop of 30-year-old running backs, moving the ball forward.
Assuming Le'Veon can sign a significant contract, I think he'll really set things up for the position to reclaim its worth. Because right behind Le'Veon are guys like Todd, Zeke and Leonard Fournette. Highly drafted running backs that should be due some pretty large contracts when their rookie deals expire over the next several years. They should all know that whatever they sign will be used against the next guy, and that's a massive responsibility.
Everyone has their own individual concerns in their career and in their life. But I would call on those guys to be spokesmen for the position going forward. They could change their own lives, and the lives of the next wave of running backs that come after them, too.

Engineering is over. More Serious stuff to follow. It's a race with endless laps, We know. But,the feeling of completing a checkpoint(DC Effect) should be nevertheless. It's an end of an era. I am very happy that the graduation part is done. But, somehow I still feel that the feeling of "For next 3 years we all are here only(in the college)" which I had in 1st & 2nd year of BE would be preferable over "After next 3 years, who knows who"ll be ending up where?".
Most of the friends going abroad for Masters. Rest want to do MBA. I definitely don't want to do either. So, this feeling of "After next 3 years, who knows who"ll be ending up where?" has advancement called "After next 3 years, what if you'll be ending up nowhere?". I think I have confused this issue enough. For short, I just mean to say I don't even have a remotely possible idea of how I'd perform in coming 3 years, when rest of people are already set to do their best in their respective future career tests.
Uncertainty is something I never enjoy & that's the only thing I am seeing in the near future. But, I look forward to work hard & let's see what happens.
Prepare for the best and the fastest ride.

Joe Pavelski
Despite loss there are positive signs of attitude change on Sharks
By Chelena Goldman
There was so much talk in the offseason about whether or not a culture change would take place in the San Jose Sharks locker room during the 2014-2015 campaign.
Once regular season play started our focus turned more toward what was going on out on the ice, and not so much on what we could speculate was happening behind doors.
However there was a glimmer, a slight hint on Thursday night that maybe there really is a shift taking place in Team Teal's all-around attitude — a shift for the better, as a matter of a fact. It started with the postgame scrums after the Sharks' deflating 5-4 loss.
In my young tenure of sticking a recorder in hockey players' faces, Joe Thornton was always the first Shark available for comment after a game when the dressing room doors opened to the media. Even after a tough loss the then-captain usually didn't show much in the way of aggression when he answered questions on behalf of himself and his team. After a win, he pointed out positives. After a loss, he acknowledged the loss but pointed out things that the team had done well. He was always cordial and said "thank you" when he was done answering questions. But Thornton wasn't the guy to show that there was any tension or anger among the team after letting an early lead slip away or after a crushing loss — except when the LA Kings booted the Sharks from last year's playoffs. That time, Jumbo Joe looked like he was pushing back tears.
This season has started out a bit differently. With no defined leader in the room, you don't really know what player is going to be the first to speak on behalf of the team, or what the general vibe is going to be.
After Thursday night's late-game loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets, rotating alternate captain Joe Pavelski was the first player available to answer questions. Number 8's post game demeanor is usually that of someone who wants to answer questions as painlessly as possible so he can shower and call it a workday. But on Thursday he was incredibly direct and noticeably angry. First words out of his mouth were: "We haven't been good enough." His words had bite when he addressed the Sharks continuing pattern of jumping out to early leads and then letting the opposition creep up and take the lead.
There was no semi-positive look at the four goals that San Jose had scored — two of them being Pavelski's. Instead his comments were that "it sucks losing"and that "no one in here's happy." He addressed entering the second frame of that game with a 2-0 lead and then heading into the second intermission behind Columbus 3-2, punctuating his criticism with: "It's got to be better, it's got to change."
The same attitude was exuded by Logan Couture who took questions next. "Two mistakes that end up in the back of our net. It's as simple as that," he divulged. "The mistakes we've made are things we've gone over for years. A lot of us have been here for many years, and these are mistakes that we shouldn't be making."
Before we jump to any severe conclusion: No, this does not mean that Pavelski is for sure going to be sporting a felt "C" on his sweater by the end of the season, or that Thornton's postgame commentary was the sole reason the Sharks lost games, or that the team has made an overnight attitude adjustment. (Even if there was an immediate change, the Sharks certainly wouldn't let that be known to us writer folk with our laptops and iPhone recorders.) But it shows that there is, possibly, hopefully, the start of a change in the way San Jose attacks its problems. A more collectively aggressive way of improving themselves.
"There's definitely a different feeling in the locker room today," Pavelski verbalized. "We're going to get through it, and I think guys know that. We'll stay together. We'll get it right. It's just about getting it done."
It's no complete revamp, but it's a start.

Since 2011-2012 schools have been allocated Pupil Premium funding for children from low-income families who have been eligible for free school meals in the last six years, or have been looked after continuously for more than six months. Funding has also been allocated for pupils whose parents serve in the armed forces.
Current research suggests:
Disadvantaged children have less developed literacy skills than those from more prosperous households.
By the age of three, children from the most prosperous households have heard 30 million more words than children from disadvantaged household. Children from disadvantaged households are more likely to require speech and language support.
Children from disadvantaged households are more likely to require additional support in personal and social skills and emotional well-being.
These pages provide information on how the school has spent its pupil premium funding and the impact of that expenditure.
For more information please contact the school and ask to speak to our Deputy Head who has responsibility for pupil premium: Mrs Natalie Naylor.
The governor responsible for pupil premium funding: Mrs Jenny Holter
"Pupils who receive the pupil premium are well supported. Funding is used to enhance their learning through employing extra teachers and providing extra support from teaching assistants; this ensures that they have the same opportunities as other pupils."(Ofsted July 2015)
Pupil Premium 2020/21

OR XLVI P1 #164: Report of Captain Edward W. Rogers, 19th NY Btty, March 25, 1865
No. 164. Report of Captain Edward W. Rogers, Nineteenth Battery New York Light Artillery, of operations March 25.1
NINETEENTH NEW YORK BATTERY,
SIR: I have the honor to submit the following report of operations of the Nineteenth New York Battery during the engagement on the 25th instant:
The left and center sections of the battery were in Fort Stedman, while the right section was in camp near Meade's Station. The enemy advanced against our works at about 4.30 a.m. Alarm was given by the pickets; so far as I can ascertain the pickets did not fire a shot. The first intimation my men in Fort Stedman had of the approach of the enemy was the rush and the cheer with which they carried Battery No. 10. The guard on my pieces immediately discharged the guns, which were kept loaded with canister. These were the first shots of any kind that were fired in that vicinity; not a musket had been discharged. Some ten or twelve rounds were fired from my four guns. By that time the force of the enemy that had taken Battery No. 10 had advanced against Fort Stedman from that direction, and rushed into the fort without opposition, as my guns were all in embrasures pointing to the front (an effort to get one of the guns to an embrasure bearing on Battery
No. 10 was unsuccessful for lack of time), and there was nothing to oppose them. As the enemy came into the fort Lieutenant Long (the officer in command of the four guns), seeing that any further attempts at resistance were useless, ordered the men to take care of themselves. The enemy at this time were on three sides of the fort, as well as in it. Lieutenants Long and Moore and twelve enlisted men were captured, and one man was killed. Two of the men captured were known to be wounded. The remainder of the cannoneers (sixteen in number) escaped. Three of the gunners escaped and brought with them their breech sights, which prevented the enemy from using the guns efficiently when they were turned against us.
As soon as the alarm reached camp the horses were harnessed and hitched. The right section, Lieutenant Losee in command, went into position and opened fire on Fort Stedman, now in possession of the enemy. Soon General Tidball arrived, and ordered Lieutenant Losee to place his section in some old work in the brow of the hill and on the right of the road leading to Fort Stedman, a position which commanded Fort Stedman and most of that portion of our line now occupied by the enemy. The enemy had by this time turned against us the guns captured in Fort Stedman, and the fire of Lieutenant Losee's section was directed at the fort until it was silenced. He then directed his fire at different bodies of the enemy's infantry until the engagement was over. This section expended 184 rounds of ammunition, with good effect. As soon as Fort Stedman was retaken detachments were sent to man the guns which had been recaptured. The enemy had spiked one of the guns and temporarily disabled another.
The battery lost 1 private killed, and 2 commissioned officers and 12 enlisted men missing. These were all lost in Fort Stedman.
I am, sir, very respectfully, your obedient servant,
E. W. ROGERS,
Captain, Commanding Nineteenth New York Battery.
Lieutenant GEORGE W. BOOTH,
Actg. Asst. Adjt. General, Artillery Brigade, Ninth Army Corps.

Published by Grace Mcgachy at 5:52am 12th February 2019.
It's very rare to meet the paramedics that saved your life.
But Hester Holman has been able to say thank you to the King's Lynn ambulance crew that rushed to her home in January.
The 47-year-old collapsed in her home during a cardiac arrest.
Hester woke up at her home in Weasenham with what she thought was severe acid reflux.
Her partner, Jim Harper, went to get the heartburn relief she often used, but before Hester could even lift it to her mouth she collapsed.
Jim immediately dialled 999, putting his phone on loud speaker and began CPR.
#ICYMI this week @CarlSmith1973 and crew members from King's Lynn met up with patient, Hester who they had attended in January after she collapsed into cardiac arrest.
Paramedic Gary Smith and student paramedic Jonathon Hall were the first to arrive, with Jonathon taking over CPR until a Lund University Cardiopulmonary Assist System (LUCAS) machine arrived with Carl Smith, critical care paramedic and Tony Chisam, leading operations manager.
The machine replicates chest compressions and allowed the team to continue to treat Hester.
Also on the scene were paramedics Gemma Proudfoot and Dave O'Callaghan.
During their meeting, Gary described the challenges they faced to Hester, who didn't have any memory of the event herself.
"We got the first pulse back at 4.32am, but then we noticed another abnormal rhythm with her heart.
We got that back to normal, and then her blood pressure was elevated."
Although the crews arrived, they made it clear that without Jim's early CPR the outcome could have been very different.
"Early CPR and early defibrillation is key.
It's very rare we get to meet with patients after these calls.
The chance of survival for cardiac arrests in the UK is less than 10%, so it's really great to be here today meeting with Hester and her family."
Hester also found out she went on to have a second cardiac arrest before being transported to the nearest heart attack centre at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital, where a team was waiting for her arrival.
"You're absolutely brilliant, I can't thank you all enough."
Early CPR and defibrillation is key to give us and you the best chance of survival in cases such as Hester's.
Keep an eye out for a special video from the EEAST that will go through the basics of CPR, so we all know what to do in an emergency.

Lia Medjidovna Akhedjakova (en ), née le  à Dniepropetrovsk en URSS, est une actrice soviétique puis russe, distinguée artiste du peuple de la fédération de Russie en 1994.

Biographie
Née à Dniepropetrovsk en RSS d'Ukraine (depuis 1991, dans l'oblast de Dnipropetrovsk en Ukraine), Lia Akhedjakova est élevée dans une famille de théâtre à Maïkop en république d'Adyguée. Elle est diplômée de l'Académie russe des arts du théâtre en 1962. Le public la découvre d'abord dans les rôles travestis au théâtre du jeune spectateur de Moscou. À partir de 1977, elle est actrice du Théâtre Sovremennik.

Un Nika de la meilleure actrice dans un second rôle lui est remis pour la Promesse du ciel d'Eldar Riazanov en 1991 et pour Jouer les victimes de Kirill Serebrennikov en 2006. Un Nika dans la nomination Honneur et Dignité (Честь и достоинство) lui est remis en 2015.

Opposée à l'invasion de l'Ukraine par la Russie de 2022, elle écrit sur Telegram : « J'ai honte de mes concitoyens. […] Comme je suis fatiguée de cette grandeur imaginaire de la Russie. Je veux aller en Ukraine après sa victoire. » Elle subit les critiques du vice-président du conseil municipal de Moscou qui laisse entendre que des mercenaires de la société militaire privée Wagner pourraient perturber la représentation : « Si Akhedjakova est accompagnée sur scène par les « musiciens » [le surnom des mercenaires de Wagner], cela pourrait s'avérer être une sacrée performance. Madame Akhedjakova, êtes-vous fan de Wagner ? » Un théâtre de Saint-Pétersbourg annule ensuite une représentation théâtrale qu'elle devait interpréter. Précédemment, le Théâtre Sovremennik de Moscou a annulé les représentations d'une autre pièce interprétée par la comédienne, après qu'un groupe d'officiers s'est opposé à ses supposées « propagande homosexuelle », « insultes aux anciens combattants » et « incitations à la haine ethnique ». Des militants, habitués à perturber des programmes culturels, ont porté plainte contre le directeur artistique car il visait à « détruire la mémoire de la Grande Guerre patriotique et le faisait avec une méchanceté particulière. »

Guest speaker Tenney urges MTSU business students to 'consistently love' people they lead
by Jimmy W. Hart
Social entrepreneur and author Matt Tenney spent roughly an hour inside a Business and Aerospace Building classroom recently giving a captive audience of MTSU management students his compelling arguments for and answers to their questions about servant leadership.

Tenney, founder and CEO of the Nashville-based marketing firm The Generous Group and author of "Serve to Be Great: Leadership Lessons from a Prison, a Monastery, and a Boardroom," shared his story about getting caught trying to defraud the U.S. government 17 years ago, leading to a five-year prison sentence and an embrace of monastic practices during that time that guide his leadership philosophy.
He believes business leaders can have lasting success "by focusing on serving and inspiring greatness in the people around them," pointing throughout his talk to the example of the late Herb Kelleher, beloved co-founder of Southwest Airlines who died in January and "never laid off an employee."
Dr. Kristie Abston
Dr. Leigh Anne Clark
An upper level principles of management class taught by assistant professor Kristie Abston was joined by a nonprofit class taught by associate professor Leigh Anne Clark to hear Tenney, who told the group a recent study estimated the lifespan of the average S&P 500 company at 20 years.
The reason? Tenney said part of it is that the traditional mindset causes people to go into business with making money as the ultimate motive, even if they care a lot about helping people. In doing so, they lose influence with their employees.
"Making profit the top priority pretty much guarantees the premature death of the organization," he said. "When leaders make profit their top priority, they will either consciously or unconsciously neglect their employees. And when employees are continuously neglected, they become increasingly disengaged over time."
That leads to poor customer service and product quality, and "innovation is much less likely to occur," Tenney added. "The great leaders … see their top priorities like this: Above all else, love employees. … By love, I mean doing whatever we can to improve the long-term well-being of our team members (both professionally and personally)."

Following his talk, Tenney answered a number of student questions, ranging from how to properly show love to employees to determining adequate employee compensation to aligning your values with a prospective employer.
"They key point I want to make is that it's actually much, much better — not just living a happy, fulfilling life, but that it's much better for business — if you prioritize the well-being of the people you work with ahead of short-term metrics like quarterly profits, expenses, and those type of things," Tenney said in an interview before his presentation.
MTSU student Boyd Williamson, a junior management major from Houston, Texas, said it "was fantastic" hearing Tenney's firsthand experience with developing his views on servant leadership. The lecture made him think about reading Tenney's books on mindfulness and "looking more into servant leadership to see what I can do better."
"To have someone to come out and say, 'this is an example, this has actually worked, this is what I've done' … was really cool," Williamson said. "He explained it really well, was clear and concise, but he also had great comments and answered our questions really well."
Williamson said he is open to becoming an entrepreneur or finding a place within management at an established company once he graduates, while understanding that the everchanging economy will likely require him to work at several companies throughout his professional career.
"It means having a mindset about your core values and what you want to stand for and being able to move forward" on your career path, he said.
Professor Jill Austin, chair of the Management Department, said Tenney's insights directly address a primary topic in a class that deals with leadership and leadership strategies.
Dr. Jill Austin
"Anytime they can hear from someone out in the business world doing leadership work and consulting work, we think it's a good thing … to hear the practical experiences that he brings to leadership," she said. "At the Jones College of Business, we like to bring in speakers who do the work that we're speaking about."
"Servant leadership is very much on the minds of leaders today," Austin added. "It's not just about telling people what to do, giving directions and orders, it's about getting a team to work together effectively and efficiently, trusting each other and having the authority to make their own decisions."

Germania has expanded its choice of flights to Beirut. The airline now flies four times a week from Berlin Schönefeld to the Lebanese capital. The route is served on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays and now also on Sundays. The airline operates a Boeing 737-700 for this connection. The flight time is around 4 hours 50 minutes.
The capital city of Lebanon is situated on a peninsula on Saint George Bay in the eastern Mediterranean. The city's backdrop is breathtaking. Mountains up to 3,000 metres in height surround the city towards the country's interior. The climate is Mediterranean. The best time to travel is in the period of April to June and in October and November.
Beirut is lively, dynamic and vibrant. It is estimated that two million people live there. Beirut is one of the Orient's major cities. But not only that. It is a melting pot of religions (Christians and Muslims) and cultures. Its history stretches back 5,000 years and tells of advancement and prosperity but also of natural disasters and wars. Phoenicians, Romans, Arabs, Byzantines, Druze, the Ottoman Empire, and France – all have left their mark. In its chequered history, Beirut has been destroyed and rebuilt so often it has unofficially been given the epithet "the city that never dies". Beirut, in its most recent history exposed to European influences, is today an "Orient for beginners", so to speak, providing a fascinating insight into times long past and unfamiliar worlds.
Soon after the end of the Lebanese civil war in 1991, a huge construction project was begun to rebuild and develop the city. This project continues to shape Beirut today. Modern buildings in the style of Ottoman and French colonial architecture have shot up. The glass architecture of the hotels and apartment buildings dominate the promenade along the Mediterranean Sea. Between the picturesque Ottoman villas from the turn of the last century, dazzling tower buildings reach up to the skies. They are surrounded by mosques and churches situated closely together. The ruins of less splendorous times, though, are still a visible feature of the cityscape. Among the major places of interest in the city are Martyrs' Square, the Cathedral of Saint George (the principal church of the Archdiocese of Beirut), the Sunni Al-Amin Mosque that was inaugurated in 2008, and the National Museum. Beirut's distinctive landmark, the clock tower built in 1934, is on Nejmeh Square, also known as Place de l'Etoile.
A favourite spot and pride of Beirut's citizens is the 4.8-kilometre-long Corniche, the seafront promenade. It is a place to meet and for recreation. If you go on a stroll along the promenade, you should also take the opportunity to see the fascinating Pigeons' Rock, two bizarre and massive yet picturesque rock formations just off Beirut's coast.
The hotels on Beirut's charming Mediterranean bay are places that embody a luxurious European lifestyle. This is where big stars and bands stay when they give concerts in the city. On a stroll through the marina on Zaitunay Bay, you can marvel at the elegant yachts. The white sandy beach on the Mediterranean coast invites visitors to spend time relaxing.
Beirut is an outstanding city in the region, with its culture, shopping facilities, vibrant nightlife and wide variety of recreational options. The universities and publishers, museums and art galleries, theatres and cinemas, plus an impressive concert schedule are all testimony to Beirut's modern and varied cultural life.
Beirut is one of the most open and tolerant cities in the Middle East. Its citizens are communicative and open-minded. They like to go out and enjoy showing visitors their city. The many restaurants, bars and cafés offer an excellent range of food and drinks. Sharing a meal with one another is a bonding element in Lebanon. While sharing a water pipe, or shisha, people enjoy a varied selection of small Lebanese dishes together – called Mezze – and exchange news.
Rafiq Hariri International Airport is located on the southern outskirts of Beirut. Officially certified taxis displaying an airport logo on their sides bring passengers into the city for a fixed fare.

Buhari mourns death of accident victims, spiritual leader
President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday expressed sadness over the death of 19 passengers who met their tragic fate on Thursday in a road accident that occurred on the Kano/Zaria Road.
The President said he was devastated and saddened by the unfortunate tragedy that claimed the lives of passengers who happily left their homes without any idea that it was going to be their last day on earth.
Buhari lamented the frequency of road accidents, which he described as "particularly worrisome and it calls for greater reflection on the importance of safety standards."
"I understand that the accident was blamed on over-speeding and this account worries me deeply"
He advised the drivers to take safety regulations seriously, adding that "they have the responsibility to protect their passengers. It's unfortunate that ours is a country where, despite regular public enlightenment programmes by road safety officials, our recalcitrant drivers treat the issue with indifference," the President lamented.
He added that "adherence to safety standards and regulations can go a long way to protect lives."
He, therefore, extended his condolences to the Government of Kano State and the families of those who died in the accident.

The President also expressed sadness over the death of a leading Muslim Scholar and Imam, Bayero University, Kano (BUK), Ahmad Ibrahim, recalling his noble expositions of the prophetic traditions of Prophet Muhammad (SAW).
President Buhari said Ahmad will be remembered for his impeccable service to Islam and the nation, as well as his passion towards public enlightenment.
"It is really sad news for all of us to learn that our beloved Ahmad is no more. He was a personality of faith, who dedicated his life to Islamic education. His emphasis on the unity of Muslims, good education, and the rights of women will always be remembered. We offer our heartfelt condolences and pray for the eternal repose of his soul," said the President.
In BUK where he taught and led Muslims in prayer for more than 30 years before he, on his own, set up the "Darul Hadith," meaning the home of prophetic traditions, an Islamic Center next door, the news of his death sent shock and gloomy waves across the community and beyond.
President Buhari recalled that the late Imam authored several books in his lifetime, among the latest being his translation of the more than 1,000-year-old "Muwatta Malik," a 1173-page book into Hausa, at which presentation he (President Buhari) was represented.
The President conveyed the nation's condolences to the bereaved family, the Bayero University community, and to his countless students and followers in Kano and in West Africa.

Nigeria Creates Licensing Regime To Regulate Fintechs
Much of Africa is underbanked and Nigeria is determined to do something about it.
Author: Vincent Nwanma
Nigeria's financial regulators took a bold step recently to enforce control of the fledgling fintech industry with the release of guidelines on the operations of payment service banks (PSBs).
The functions of PSBs according to the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) include accepting deposits from individuals and small businesses, offering payments and remittance services through various channels within the country, issuing debit and pre-paid cards on their names.
The central bank explained that they should operate mostly in the rural areas and unbanked locations targeting financially excluded persons. These PSBs are also expected to have at least 25% financial service touch points (defined as locations where a customer can access basic financial service including cash-in, cash-out and transfers/remittances) in such rural areas as periodically defined by the CBN.
They could also enter into direct partnership with card operators, provided that such cards are not eligible for foreign currency transactions, deploy ATMs in some of these areas, as well as deploy point of sale devices.
Organisations that qualify to operate PSBs include banking agents, telcos, retail chains such as supermarkets, postal services providers, fintech companies, financial holding companies, according to the guidelines.
The central bank said the PSBs would be classified into three categories and would have minimum shareholder funds accordingly: five billion naira ($13.9 million) for a Super License; $8.3 million for a Standard License, while those under a Basic License will have either $139,000 or $128,000, depending on the services they offer. The licensing fees for the three categories are $5,600, $2,800, and $278, respectively. The licences are renewable every three years at one-half of the licensing fee, according the guidelines. There is also an application fee that is not refundable.
The main objectives of setting up the PSBs, the central bank said, is to enhance financial inclusion by increasing access to deposit products and payment/remittance services to small businesses, low-income households and other financially excluded entities through high-volume, low-value transactions in a secured technology-driven environment.
Nigeria has a target of achieving a 80% financial inclusion rate by 2020, a massive jump from the 47% rate in 2008.
Ecobank, the African regional lender, said in a November 27 note that while the planned licensing fees are comparatively light (compared with other licensing authorities), ''the minimum shareholder capital requirements are high for Fintech start-ups, which typically have low capital and shoe-string budgets.'' Ecobank argued that enforcing the requirements could raise the barrier for entry, thereby inhibiting fintechs' ability to scale and stifling innovation.
Ecobank added that Nigeria—along with Kenya and South Africa—is one of sub-Saharan Africa's leading innovation centers, with over 65 hubs in the country, and that many of which have start-ups that are developing new digital financial services. It said that the planned new regulations will impact the flow of inward investment into Nigeria's fintech sector as well as the kinds of companies that emerge to serve Nigeria and West African markets.


Gateway has recently re-emerged in the UK as Acer's business-to-business brand and now offers a range of SME- and enterprise-focused notebooks, desktops, monitors, servers and storage via a chain of resellers. We've been looking at the DT70, a tower-format desktop PC powered by the latest Intel CPUs (Core i3/i5/i7) with integrated HD Graphics and DDR3 memory support.
The DT70 is a understated-looking desktop measuring 18cm wide by 44cm deep by 35.2cm high. It's mostly black, with an orange strip on the front housing the power button. At the top there's a raised panel housing four USB 2.0 ports and a pair of audio jacks (microphone, headphone). The side panel is easily removed by undoing a couple of screws at the back, and the internal components are sensibly and tidily arranged. Overall it's a functional and businesslike design.
Our review unit ran Intel's 3.2GHz Core i5-650, which has 4MB of Level 2 cache and includes HD Graphics as part of the CPU package. Core i3 and i7 processors are also available for the DT series. Four DIMM slots support up to 16GB of DDR3 RAM, although our review sample had 4GB (2x2GB). The operating system on our DT70 was Windows 7 Professional, but you can get Home Premium, XP Professional (SP3), Linux (Linpus) or FreeDOS.
There are two externally accessible 5.25in. bays at the front of the machine, one of which was occupied by a multi-format DVD rewriter on our sample. There's also a pair of front-facing 3.5in. bays, both empty in our unit. Inside, facing towards the open side panel, are a further four 3.5in. bays, one of which housed a fast (7,200rpm) 320GB SATA 2 (3Gbps) Seagate hard drive. If you install further drives, the Intel controller supports RAID configurations 0, 1, 5 and 10 for extra performance and data security. All drive bays use a convenient slide-out housing, labelled clearly in green.
There are four expansion slots: one PCI Express 2.0 x16, one PCIE 2.0 x1 and two 5V PCI 2.3 slots — all empty in our review unit. The backplane provides the following ports: six USB 2.0, serial, parallel, two PS/2 (keyboard, mouse), Ethernet (RJ-45), VGA and DVI. There's also a trio of audio connectors to service the on-board Realtek HD audio.
There are only two fans inside the DT70: one for the 300W PSU and one for the processor. In use, the machine ran impressively quietly.
The DT70's Windows Experience Index (WEI) is 4.9 (out of 7.9), the WEI score corresponding to the lowest component rating, which in this case is for Graphics (Desktop performance for Windows Aero). The remaining component scores are all very respectable: 5.2 for Gaming graphics (3D business and gaming graphics performance); 5.5 for Memory (RAM); 5.9 for Primary hard disk (Disk transfer rate); and 6.9 for Processor (Calculations per second).
We also ran Passmark Software's Performance Test 7.0 and compared the results with online scores for desktops with the same CPU/graphics/OS platform. The DT70's overall Passmark Rating of 1,179 compares favourably to a 'class average' of 1,168 for similarly-specified systems in Passmark's database. As with WEI, the strongest subsystem is the processor (CPU Mark of 2,800 versus 2,616) and the weakest is 2D graphics (2D Graphics Mark of 359 versus 459). Overall, the DT70 is a decent performer.
Power consumption is becoming as important a consideration for business buyers as performance these days, and Gateway duly stresses the energy efficiency of the DT series. We examined the system's power consumption when idle and under load using a Voltcraft VC940 Plus multimeter and got the following average figures: 29.2W idling at the Windows 7 desktop; 48.3W running Performance Test 7.0. This quite impressive for a desktop system that performs pretty well too. The system meets Energy Star 5.0 requirements.
Gateway's DT70 is a well-designed business desktop with good physical accessibility, and excellent manageability and security thanks to Intel AMT 5.0 and TPM 1.2 support. It's energy efficient, quiet in operation and powerful enough to handle mainstream business tasks without breaking stride.

The first time I heard of The Dodos in 2010, we called them band of the show. I eventually caught them in 2011, when they toured with Bleeding Rainbow (but back then they were called Reading Rainbow) and saw them again when they toured here in 2013 support of Carrier.
The San Francisco duo is back with Individ, the record is coming out January 27th, via Polyvinyl Records. As usual with these new album releases, the band will be heading out on tour to let people know all about it.
Set to open these 2015 tour dates will be Springtime Carnivore, who we missed last November due to early Winter Hibernation. March is still within my hibernation period, but hopefully it'll be a little warmer than it has been this month (January).

CHRIS BROWN & TYGA
chrisbrownworld.com
Sony music just sent me the preview song "Ayo", the new Chris Brown & Tyga song. The song is a preview from their forthcoming 2015 collaborative album Fan of a Fan 2 (the follow-up to their 2011 album Fan of a Fan).
Although both singers/performers are already established musicians, I can't help but feel that their personal lives have overshadowed everything they've accomplished. For example, Brown's assault of Rihanna and Tyga dating Kylie Jenner (of the Kardashian fame). She's 18 now, right? Obviously, I don't follow these stories that closely. All I know that their focus is on music right now, and that's a good thing.

France's Animali is offering their brand new song "Hysterical Star" song for free. The song is taken from their first EP The Spark, and Three Other Poorly-Produced Pieces of Music.

I found a Settings that lets me select English as the language. However, the app has one or two pages of English, but when it comes to directions, icons, and alerts, none of it is in English. I found it completely useless.
English option does not work. At all.
