Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha (born April 21, 1975, in Worcester, Massachusetts) is a U.S. /Canadian poet, writer, educator and social activist. Their writing and performance art focuses on documenting the stories of queer and trans people of color, abuse survivors, mixed-race people and diasporic South Asians and Sri Lankans. A central concern of their work is the interconnection of systems of colonialism, abuse and violence. They are also a writer and organizer within the disability justice movement.

They are queer, non-binary, and disabled.

Personal life
Piepzna-Samarasinha was raised in Worcester, Massachusetts and are of Burgher/Tamil Sri Lankan and Irish/Roma ascent. They have lived in Brooklyn, Oakland, and Toronto and currently reside in South Seattle, Duwamish territories.

They are non-binary and use she and they pronouns. In comparison to climate activist Greta Thunberg, they have described themself as "an autistic femme."

Education
Piepzna-Samarasinha graduated from Eugene Lang College The New School for Liberal Arts in New York City in 1997. They received their Master of Fine Arts from Mills College.

Career

Healing
Piepzna-Samarashinha is a member of Bad Ass Visionary Healers, a California-based activist healing collective and has an "intuitive counseling" practice, Brownstargirl Tarot. they has been involved in organizing healing justice practice spaces at the Allied Media Conference, Safetyfest  and other spaces.

Performance art
Piepzna-Samarasinha has been performing spoken word since 1998.

As a spoken word artist they have performed widely in the United States, Canada and Sri Lanka and have been featured at Bar 13, Michelle Tea's RADAR Reading Series, The Loft, Buddies in Bad Times Theatre, as well as at universities including Yale, Sarah Lawrence, Oberlin, Swarthmore and the University of Southern California.

In 2001, frustrated with the racism of the local white-dominated queer and trans poetry scene and the homophobia in the local poetry spaces for people of color, they began Browngirlworld, a reading series with the goal of creating a poetry and performance space for queer and trans people of color. Initially held weekly, the event became a biannual, large-scale poetry event  in partnership with the Toronto Women's Bookstore, bringing artists such as Mango Tribe and D'Lo.

Piepzna-Samarasinha began teaching writing to queer, trans and Two Spirit youth at Supporting Our Youth Toronto's Pink Ink program.

In 2004, inspired by radical Asian and Pacific Islander American (APIA) arts and poetry youth education programs at the APIA Spoken Word Summit, Piepzna-Samarasinha and Gein Wong started the Asian Arts Freedom School.

The following year, Piepzna-Samarasinha traveled to the San Francisco Bay Area to study poetry with Suheir Hammad at Voices of Our Nations, an experience they credit with changing their life as a writer.

In 2006, Piepzna-Samarasinha wrote and premiered their first one-woman show, Grown Woman Show, in which they discuss being "a queer girl of Sri Lankan descent" who is a survivor of incest perpetrated by their mother. Grown Woman Show has since been performed at the National Queer Arts Festival, Swarthmore College, Yale University, Reed College, and McGill University.

Later that year, Piepzna-Samarasinha met Ctheirry Galette on Friendster and created Mangos With Chili with the goal of creating an annual tour of performance artists who are queer and trans people of color.

Piepzna-Samarasinha is also involved with the biannual Asian Pacific Islander Spoken Word and Poetry Summit.

They were the 2009-2010 Artist in Residence at UC Berkeley's June Jordan's Poetry for the People. From 2009 to the present, they has been a commissioned performer with Sins Invalid, the national performance organization of queer people with disabilities and chronic illnesses.

While in Toronto, with Syrus Marcus Ware, they co-created Performance.Disability.Art (PDA), a performance based disability arts collective. Through PDA, the pair co-curated Crip Your World: an Intergalactic Mad, Sick and Disabled Extravaganza for Mayworks Festival.

Teaching
In 2001, Piepzna-Samarasinha taught writing to LGBTQ youth at Supporting Our Youth Toronto (SOY) through the Pink Ink program. This included working with the zine 10 Reasons to Riot which won Best Zine in Toronto in 2006.  For this work they were awarded the Community Service to Youth Award from the City of Toronto in 2004.

In 2005, along with Gein Wong, co-founded the Asian Arts Freedom School, a community-controlled school teaching writing, performance and radical education on Asian/Pacific Islander history to youth. They were also involved with The Canadian Sri Lankan Women's Action Network, an activist group seeking to promote peace with justice through a feminist lens to end Sri Lanka's 24 year civil war.

In 2007, they moved back to the U.S. and studied community-based poetic teaching through University of California Berkeley's June Jordan's Poetry for the People (P4P) Program, culminating in teaching for and being P4P's visiting writer from 2009 to 2010. She has taught in living rooms and college campuses and everywhere in between, and loves and believes in the delicious liberation of places to learn and live freely outside traditional school systems.

Writing
Piepzna-Samarasinha has published nine books independently, been included in ten anthologies, and edited two anthologies. Their work has also appeared in Yes, Vice, Room, Autostraddle, ColorLines, NOW, Xtra, Bitch,  theirizons and other publications.

The Challenge - Have You Got What It Takes?


Why parents should spend less money on toys. Take vacation instead!
I've always spend money on travelling than physical things, and parents should do the same with their kids! Parents have been wasting money on toys and according to a study by Oliver James, they should be spending their money on holiday instead.
I can't disagree with that! So what kind of holiday is best for children?
Crucially, however, that does not mean that the holiday is waste on them. "Children see the world differently," explains James, "through consumption for example: the way that French cafes have Orangina instead of Fanta is fascinating to kids, and details like that will sick with them for long after the holiday ends.
It's like giving a two year old a present and she'll get absorbed in the box instead. It's similar with children and travel. We should let them explore their own ways of finding wonder in their surrounds.
Holiday remove us physically from our highly pressured everyday lives where everyone's focused on meeting targets. They are times when everyone can relax and be playful together.
Of course, toys are all about play too. Or they should be. But then the days of the cheerful board game are over. Increasingly modern toys put distance between family members, removing children to their own room, screen and insular worlds.
The play Oliver is talking about is collaborative. It is also silly, not education, and it is. A Crucial human experience for children especially, but for adults too. Without it, life is very empty and lacking in joy.
That is what children value, James argues. It is certainly what they remember, long after the latest toy lands up as landfill. But memories won't.


Peppermint Puff's Blog: Sugar & Vice Review: Bones Bones Bones!
While reviewing my newest piece of Sugar & Vice jewellery I realised I still hadn't written or posted a review for the bone earrings and necklace I had bought a while back. At this point I can't remember exact postage times, however It was pretty fast!
This necklace actually came about when they posted their halloween items and I asked if they would or could create bone themed jewellery, sparkly bone jewellery! And low and behold a few days later some gorgeous sparkly bone jewellery appeared in their shop. I bought some earrings and a necklace.
The necklace has 7 bones on it which hang from a chain, I really love how realistic the bone shapes are but are also feel comical and unique. I love the way they sit on the neck.
Something else I love about this necklace which i forgot to photograph is if you flip it around the backs of the bones are white and you can wear it that way too! Making this necklace two in one! Glitter for nights out and white for a more realistic mono feel!
All Sugar & Vice necklaces have little engraved tags, what I really liked about this one was the tag was bone shaped! Which I thought was such a nice little extra touch!
Amazing service, if you are a Facebook fan a lot (if not all) interaction will come from Sarah who is hands down the most legit woman I think maybe ever.
Hope this was helpful! I really can't recommend them enough!

Showing Off, Showing Up: Studies of Hype, Heightened Performance, and Cultural Power (Hardcover)
By Laurie Frederik (Editor), Kimberley Bell Marra (Editor), Catherine A. Schuler (Editor)
The interdisciplinary essays in Showing Off, Showing Up examine acts of showing, a particular species of performance that relies on competition and judgment, active spectatorship, embodied excess, and exposure of core values and hidden truths. Acts of showing highlight those dimensions of performance that can most manipulate spectators and consumers, often through over-the-top heightening and skewing of presentation. Many forms of showing and of heightened performance, however, operate more enigmatically and covertly while still profoundly affecting the social world, even if our reactions to them are initially flippant or unconcerned because "it's just a show." Examining a wide range of examples—from dog shows to competitive dancing to carnivals to striptease, the essays illuminate how such events variously foster competition, exaggerate a characteristic, and reveal hidden truths. There is as much to be learned about the power of showing through subtlety and underlying intentionality as through overt display. The book's theoretical introduction and 12 essays by leading scholars reveal how diverse, particularly efficacious genres of showing are theoretically connected and why they merit more concerted attention, especially in the 21st century.
Laurie Frederik is Associate Professor in the School of Theatre, Dance, and Performance Studies and Director of the Latin American Studies Center at the University of Maryland.
Kim Marra is Professor of Theatre Arts and American Studies at the University of Iowa.
Catherine Schuler is Associate Professor of Women's Studies at the University of Maryland.

"From top to bottom, the pieces of Showing Off, Showing Up are compelling, well-researched, and stand at the forefront of performance studies scholarship and hold the potential to move the field forward in very significant ways. It will find an appreciative audience with scholars and students in the field."
— Jonathan Chambers, Bowling Green State University
"Showing Off, Showing Up: Studies of Hype, Heightened Performance, and Cultural Power sets out to both theorize the often-used theatrical verb "to show" and its many grammatical variants. Coeditors Laurie Frederik, Kim Marra, and Catherine Schuler assemble a wide collection of scholars, all of whom investigate compelling examples of "showing" in theatre and performance... the varied archives and rich theorizations of the individual essays make this a worthwhile resource for scholars studying animal performance, dance, clothing and costuming, tourism, advertising, theatre's publics, performance as state power, or performance and sexuality, among other topics." - Tom Robson, Theatre Journal

My Colon Detox Plus Review (2023) – Best Colon Cleanser
Colon Cleansers & Detox
It's time for my Colon Detox Plus review, a supplement whose name speaks for itself.
It's a colon cleanser – in fact, it's probably the best one out there:
excellent (and safe) ingredients
works extremely fast (15 days)
really cheap
So all in all – it makes the best detox/colon supplement I know.
But let me explain you in detail why, in the following lines.
Note: This review is based on my opinion + research on Colon Detox Plus.
Why It's The #1 Detox/Colon Cleanser
#1 – How It Works & Producer
#5 – Side Effects (10 out of 10)
#6 – Price (10 out of 10)
My Verdict – Worth Or Not?
Full Name: Colon Detox Plus by Vita Post
Product Type: Colon Cleansing Supplement
Best Actual Price: About $24/bottle
However, you can also get it for around $16/bottle.
It's also available in retailers, but for a higher price (and it's most likely a fake version).
Designed For: Detoxing and cleansing your body – it works in 15 days:
eliminates toxins
reduces unhealthy buildup
improves your digestive system and intestines
It's an excellent option if you want a potent (but easy) detox.
My Rating: 9.50 out of 10 – It's the best rated product from this category
Recommended?: For sure – it make the best detox/colon cleanser I know:
extremely positive results in most people
almost no side effects
very affordable for its quality
So it's a supplement I would definitely advise you to try.
How To Get It Cheaper
Here's a way to get this supplement for about $16 per bottle, instead of $24.
Use code FIVE$61404893 to get 5% off.
Go for the "3 + 1 free bottles" pack.
In this way, you pay for 3 bottles and also receive 1 for free.
If you make the calculations, this means around $16 per bottle – which is a really low price.
That's why it's a lot more worth buying a larger quantity than a single bottle.
Get the lowest price for
Colon Detox Plus here
Excellent formula based on natural ingredients
Most of its ingredients are herbs
You only have to take it for 15 days
Very positive user reviews
Minimal risk of side effects (very safe product)
Price is extremely low
What I Didn't Like About It
A lot of fake versions sold online
Original version is only available on its official website
Only ships in about 25 countries
Colon Detox Plus makes the best supplement from this category, I already said it.
But that's mostly because of its unique features.
It's one of the few products that brings out the best from all colon cleansers:
Very strong yet gentle effect
Extremely low rate of side effects
Great results in most people
Natural-based (and unique) formula
Incredibly low price
In other words – it has the best quality/price ratio among all colon cleansers.
Since it's also extremely affordable, what else could you wish from a product of this type?
So honestly, I definitely advise you to give it a try.
If you want a good detox supplement – this one is by far the best.
Here are some general info you need to know about this supplement:
how exactly it works
what issues it's designed for
who is its producer
1. How It Works
This product's mechanism of action is pretty simple.
It works by detoxing your body from residues, toxins and harmful substances:
improves digestion and general health
cleanses your blood
promotes a healthier body
Now – Colon Detox Plus is better than most colon cleansers because of its ingredients.
It's based on herbs and natural substances.
For this reason – it doesn't cause the regular side effects of detox supplements.
In fact, that's its biggest advantage and one of the top reasons why I recommend it.
So in terms of effect – it's very strong yet gentle.
What could you want more from a detox supplement?
2. Company Behind
Colon Detox Plus is made by a brand called Vita Post.
This company changed its name quite recently, as it used to be called Vita Balance.
However, its legal name seems to be still the old one.
Now – in terms of reputation, Vita Post/Balance is awesome:
lots of health products in their portofolio
most of them have an excellent quality (for a very low price)
they also have lots of positive opinions
Honestly, this brand offers a cheaper alternative to supplements with a long history on the market.
Those are extremely expensive, given their long-term reputation.
However, Vita Post/Balance's products have about the same formulas – but they cost a lot less.
That's why I'm a big fan of their supplements.
I have actually recommended many of them and I had an excellent feedback from my readers.
So in terms of trustworthiness, I would definitely recommend this brand.
As I said – Colon Detox Plus has an excellent formula:
also contains calcium
In fact, its biggest quality is that it's based on natural ingredients and herbal extracts.
On the other hand – most detox supplements have a lot more harsh formulas.
Obviously, they also have a high rate of side effects.
But Colon Detox Plus works really well, while being extremely safe.
That's a main reason why I'm such a big fan of its formula.
Now – let's take a look at its 2 groups of ingredients.
1. Calcium Carbonate (200 mg)
There were a few studies conducted on calcium regarded colon health:
protects against polyps development
reduces the risk of colon cancer [1]
speeds up detoxification process
Besides, there's one more interesting fact.
Calcium's benefits for colon seem to last long after you stop taking it as a supplement.
In other words, you get a long-term protection effect.
That's definitely extremely helpful for everyone.
2. Proprietary Blend (500 mg)
This is the actual responsible for the detoxification process.
Now, this blend is a mix of 11 ingredients (herbs and probiotics):
Oat Staw – it's based on fibers than reduce constipation.
Alfalfa – improves digestion and detoxification.
Psyllium Husk – supports intestinal hydration and health. [2]
Rhubarb Root – promotes a healthy digestion and cleanse.
Gentian Root – it's an antioxidant that promotes detoxification.
Aloe Vera – improves bowel movements, digestion and colon health. [3]
Cascara Sagrada Bark – cleanses the body and boosts digestion.
Goldenseal Root – it's a gentle colon cleanser.
Buckthorn Bark – it's one of the best herbs of digestion and detoxification.
Bentonite – it's one of the top detox ingredients.
Lactobacillus Acidophilus – it's a probiotic than improves digestion and colon health. [4]
All in all, this blend looks amazing in terms of colon cleanse/detox.
The only thing I don't like about it is that there are no individual doses.
But even so – the overall dose is quite high (500 mg).
So the 11 ingredients inside the blend probably have some (at least) decent doses.
Colon Detox Plus has an excellent formula that is extremely safe.
Plus – it's based on natural compounds, so it's very gentle to your body.
So all in all, I would say its ingredients are completely worth it.
Let me give you some details about this product's consistency and use.
1. The Pills
Colon Detox Plus is designed as vegetable capsules.
The pills themselves look pretty normal, so they are quite easy to swallow:
average dimensions
gelatin cover
yellowish powder inside
In other words, you shouldn't have a hard time taking these pills.
2. The Dosage
Unlike most detox supplements, this product has a very detailed dosage.
Shortly, you only need to take it for 15 days (per cure):
Start with 2 capsules with your first meal.
If your body tolerates this dose, add 2 more capsules with the last meal.
If not, stick to 2 capsules/day.
Continue this schedule for 15 days.
Repeat the process every 2 months (for best results).
Now – things are pretty simple with this supplement.
It doesn't require you to take it for months before you see any results.
Instead, it comes with some very clear instructions regarding the period of treatment.
To me, that's a really good sign that it's extremely legitimate and high-quality.
I always look at a supplement's user feedback to see how it really works.
Now, Colon Detox Plus doesn't have a lot of different opinions.
However – I did find a couple ones.
Note: I only analyzed authentic reviews, not promotional/fake ones.
1. What People Say
Firstly, this supplement is sold on several retailers – but not in the original version.
That's why there's no point considering the reviews there.
I did find some related to the original product, but they weren't written by actual users.
For this reason, I decided to look over the reviews from its official website:
there are over 20 different reviews
most of them have 4-5 stars
all users have verified their purchases
Now – Colon Detox Plus' official website allows you to write your own review.
However, you have to verify your purchase first (using your order number).
Honestly, this seems extremely fair to me – and it's a proof that all the reviews there are written by real buyers.
So let's see what most users say about Colon Detox Plus:
Many claim their digestion improved a lot.
Others say the followed the detox cure and they felt a lot better.
A few others state it's great for a colon cleanse.
Some even say they used it for 15 days every 2 months and their health improved.
Now, I couldn't find too many complaints on this product.
Considering it has pretty few reviews overall, that's quite normal.
But this doesn't mean that it's perfect – no supplement is.
Still – all in all, I think its customer feedback speaks for itself and the supplement works really well.
Colon Detox Plus seems to have a very positive user feedback.
So in terms of detox/colon cleanse, I would definitely recommend it.
It's one of the best products you can get, in terms of quality/price.
One of the best things about Colon Detox Plus is its safety.
That's because it has a minimal rate of side effects – and a very small risk:
no complaints about side reactions
formula itself is very gentle
Now, colon cleansers/detox products are a pretty dangerous category of supplements.
That's because they tend to have some harsh formulas.
Consequently – they also cause side effects pretty often.
But that's where Colon Detox Plus is different (due to its herbal-based formula).
So this is one of the main reasons why I recommend it.
If you want a strong but gentle colon cleanser, it's the best.
One of the best things about this supplement is its quality/price.
Compared to other colon supplements, it's extremely affordable.
But let me give you more details on this.
As I said – Colon Detox Plus is only available on its official page in the original version.
You can also find it in some retailers, but the version is clearly fake.
That's why I advise you to buy it ONLY from its official website.
Now – here are its full pricing options:
Single bottle costs $24.80.
There are a lot of discounts for larger quantities.
In the best case, you can get it for about $16/bottle.
Honestly, $16 for one bottle is extremely little for a detox supplements.
There are many products that cost well over $50 (for less than a monthly supply).
Besides, many of them don't have a great formula/quality.
That's why Colon Detox Plus is several cuts above.
2. Worth Or Not?
It's definitely worth it.
In terms of quality/price, it's impossible to beat by other supplements.
That's why I consider it probably the best colon cleanser out there.
It works really well while having a very small price.
So what could you wish for more?
Colon Detox Plus is extremely cheap for its quality.
So in terms of pricing, I would definitely recommend it at any time.
Here's how I would sum up my view on this supplement.
1. Extremely Natural
One of Colon Detox Plus' biggest advantages is its formula:
based on herbal extracts
high but decent doses
no risk of side reactions
Since it has a natural formulation, it's suitable for everyone.
That's what I call a potent but gentle supplement.
2. Very Safe
As I said, this supplement has a pretty herbal formulation.
This explains why its rate of side reactions is extremely low.
In fact – I personally haven't found any complaints at this chapter.
However, most detox products have some major issues here.
3. Extremely Cheap
Considering its quality, Colon Detox Plus is incredibly affordable:
a bottle costs about $24
for a larger quantity, you can get it for around $16
Again – most colon cleansers cost well over $50/bottle.
So this supplement is extremely cheap, despite its great quality.
Short answer: Definitely worth it.
It's probably the best detox/colon cleanse supplement I know:
Based on some very natural ingredients.
Incredibly low rate of side effects.
Works great in most cases.
Really affordable for its quality.
Now – there are lots of users that swear by this product.
However, it's by no means perfect.
It's only available in about 25 countries worldwide and it's sold in fake versions outside its website.
That's why I advise you to pay a lot of attention where you buy it from.
Other than that, Colon Detox Plus is an amazing supplement and I totally recommend it.
If you want to make the most of your money and get a strong but safe detox, it's the best.
So I'm sure you will buy it the second and third time as well!

8 thoughts on "My Colon Detox Plus Review (2023) – Best Colon Cleanser"
Trese says:
I wonder why the brand renamed? I mean… somehow it's sketchy to me. Nevertheless, it's undeniable how the product works really well. Based on studies, it was said the detoxifying can prevent cancer–and I'm betting on that because in our family, there is a high chance to acquire cancer of any kind. Unfortunately, we already lost a lot of our relatives and family members on cancer and so we would do everything in our power to prevent any more loss. By now, using this product as instructed is something I do religiously and until now, I have yet to experience any discomfort. Basically, it is very easy to use and it can be considered cheap! Thank you for the review, Olly!

'Hey Trese, this is Angelica. I am also not privy with the reason but it certainly happens all the time both for good and bad brands. Nonetheless, we like to look into its components, price, results, and other important information before judging. Moreover, the change in name does not erase the fact that the company produces some good products.
I'm sorry and our condolences to you and your family. Until now, cancer still has no cure but that's not the end of the world because we can still find ways to prevent it. I'm just glad that you find Colon Detox Plus a good and effective product. We appreciate your feedback and experience so thank you for that. Stay healthy and safe!
Hands down the best detoxing product that I have tried. No adverse effect and very good result. Given its performance that I have experienced for the past year already, I can say that it is a staple supplement (at least every two months) in my shelf. On the other hand, can you recommend me a probiotic product? I really like your page and given the result of this product which you recommend, you just earned yourself a fan! Not really a fan but a follower somewhat because I would certainly still continue doing my own research.
Hi there Una! Thank you so much for commenting your feedback on this product. So happy that you found a good product from our recommendations. We are flattered that you feel that way to our articles/blog and it's the best if you will also do your own research–just make sure that what you are reading contains the correct information. As for a probiotic, I think you should first start looking into this guide on how to choose the right probiotics before choosing or looking into this list of best probiotics supplements just so you know what fits you most. I hope you find this useful!

I really regret not searching more about this product, Olly. I bought it not knowing that I should not have purchased it from the Amazon. It's really unfortunate because I spent a lot for it and there is nothing that I can do because the seller won't even reply to me now. The first time, they are proactive in replies like before shipping the products, when I was inquiring. But now that I am asking for a refund, they are nowhere to be found. I am only inbox zoned. I already reported them on Amazon customer service but there is no update about it. What happened really sucks and I don't want anyone to have a repeat of what happened to me.
Hey Aa, I'm Angelica. This seems to be a common occurrence, nowadays. In particular, the seller not replying situation is something that frequently happens. I'm sorry and that's quite bad because it really feels as if the amazon is a place unregulated. On the other hand, it cannot be avoided because someone, somewhere, somehow will really think of something to scam or cheat others. I admire your care for others and I really hope that this experience doesn't daunt you from trying again.
Juris N. says:
I really loved everything about this product because of its formula. Found it while searching the web for a good detoxifying product. I'm obese and I plan to change lifestyle and with that include detoxifying in my routine. Just when I'm about to give up, I came across this. I know that using natural products is an option but I will really feel better using products like Colon Detox Plus because it is mixed and created by the professional. Also personally, I do not know how to and I feel like it will be more effective. It's high time that I think about my future and my health. Once I have tried this, I'll be sure to get back here and update this comment of mine. THanks!
What's up Juris? We appreciate that you've shared your experience here. Though I am not body shaming, it's important we also keep our self healthy–not sexy or thin or fat but healthy. I really admire you for choosing what's best for you and having the guts to do so. Hopefully, you maintain the same determination you have now until the end. Control and discipline can surely help you in this department. In fact, we found this really good diet plan that you might want to try out. Dieting is not always easy but you can make it doable for sure.

COTS Transform-Based DSP Claims Speed Record
Claiming to be the industry's fastest commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) real-time, transform-based digital signal processor, Butterfly BDSP91V24 can perform a 1K complex fast Fourier transform in 41 µs at 80 MHz. It can also process 8- to 24-bit data in real-time using a multi-port data-flow structure that frees users from having to externally multiplex data, thus increasing throughput and lowering system component count.In addition, the transform-based DSP supports block floating-point processing on-chip, enabling it to perform automatic scaling or to accept user scaling factors for input data scaling. The result is precision reportedly rivaling that of true floating-point DSPs combined with the speed of fixed-point DSPs.Supporting block-oriented algorithms and array processing, BDSP91V24 DSP is a pin-compatible, 3.3V version of the BDSP9124, which can perform FFT, arithmetic and logical operations on high-speed data streams of unlimited array size. The chip is available in a 352-pin super BGA and as die.

Bellizzi Irpino è una frazione di Avellino di 842 abitanti, già comune autonomo fino al 1938.

È situata alla periferia meridionale di Avellino a 3 km dal centro cittadino, si posa su una collina ai piedi del monte Faliesi, a 392 m s.l.m., confina ad est con il comune di Aiello del Sabato, a sud con il comune di Contrada e a nord col Rione san Tommaso di Avellino. È raggiungibile attraverso la strada statale che collega Avellino a Salerno detta via dei Due Principati.

Anticamente denominato il Casale delle Bellezze, qui i Caracciolo ospitavano i cugini regnanti delle Due Sicilie che da Napoli venivano ad Avellino.

Piccolo villaggio abitato per lo più da contadini e mastri operai addetti all'edilizia, si reggeva su un'economia prevalentemente agricola, e malgrado ripetuti tentativi di accorpamento al comune capoluogo già avviati nel corso del XIX secolo, conservò la sua autonomia municipale fino al 1938. Con Regio Decreto del 12 luglio 1938, il comune di Bellizzi, che all'epoca contava 864 abitanti, risultante mancante "di mezzi per provvedere adeguatamente ai pubblici servizi" fu aggregato a quello di Avellino. A pagina 593 del Giornale degli economisti e annali di economia, Volume 53 del 1938, veniva indicato, con la sua superficie di tre ettari, come il comune più piccolo d'Italia. Con la nascita delle circoscrizioni previste dalla legge 278/1976 fu inserito nella VII Circoscrizione della città di Avellino, insieme alle limitrofe contrade S.Oronzo e Cretazzo.

Nei pressi della frazione è posto il penitenziario di Avellino, un carcere di massima sicurezza.

Via Giancola è la stradina principale di Bellizzi Irpino, dove tra l'altro c'è l'ex municipio (poi sede della circoscrizione) e la chiesa di Santa Maria di Costantinopoli. Di fronte alla Chiesa di Santa Maria di Costantinopoli si trova la Chiesa del Purgatorio, sede dell'omonima Confraternita fondata l'8 dicembre 1865 dal fervore religioso di 18 confratelli e consorelle.
Il nome "Anime del Purgatorio" nasceva dall'abitudine, diffusa tra alcuni confratelli, di lasciare, dopo la morte, consistenti lasciti perché la Congrega pregasse per le loro anime, così da garantire loro l'accesso al Paradiso. L'assoluta mancanza nel corso del Medio Evo di qualsiasi forma di assistenza pubblica e delle più elementari garanzie specialmente per la parte più disagiata delle collettività, in gran parte perdurata fino a tempi abbastanza recenti, ed al tempo stesso il bisogno di ben operare per amore e timore di Dio, furono le principali motivazioni che indussero i cristiani ad associarsi per aiutarsi reciprocamente..

Nella zona superiore di Bellizzi sono situati dei prefabbricati atti ad ospitare gli sfollati del terremoto dell'Irpinia del 1980, tuttora sono abitati.

La frazione è circondata da noccioleti, su cui si basa l'agricoltura della zona.

Le tradizioni folkloristiche di questo paesino sono legate al Palio della botte, di cui Bellizzi si aggiudicò la competizione inaugurale del 1998, ( con il nome storico di "Bellezze". Altri successi sono stati conseguiti negli anni 2000, 2010, 2013, 2014, 2016 e 2018, detenendo insieme alla Contrada Tuoppolo, il record di 7 vittorie)   e, soprattutto alla rappresentazione carnevalesca Zeza, nonché alla processione in onore di Santa Maria di Costantinopoli, tenuta la prima domenica di Settembre, durante la quale la statua della Madonna è portata a spalla lungo il paese.

La Zeza di Bellizzi nel 2012 ha compiuto 400 anni. A differenze delle Zeze diffuse nella provincia di Avellino, quella di Bellizzi ha due particolarità: innanzitutto è l'unico gruppo folk della città capoluogo ed inoltre, almeno a detta di Roberto De Simone, antropologo e studioso delle tradizioni popolari, è la depositaria del testo più autentico all'originale francese, risalente al XVI secolo. Roberto De Simone si ispirò proprio alla Zeza di Bellizzi per scrivere la sua 'Gatta Cenerentola'. I figuranti, come da tradizione, sono solo maschi. Le donne collaborano alla preparazione dei tradizionali abiti.

Alle tradizioni bellizzane appartiene anche la scampagnata "fuori porta", che si tiene nel giorno di Pasquetta, presso la località San Raffaele, nel comune di Aiello del Sabato, presso i giardini e il tempietto, al Santo dedicato, della villa Cerullo.

Nel 1956 la S.F.I. (Società Filoviaria Irpina) collegò la frazione di Bellizzi Irpino al centro del comune capoluogo istituendo la sua terza autolinea filoviaria. I filobus rimasero funzionanti fino al novembre 1973, quando furono sostituiti dagli autobus urbani..

Nel mese di gennaio 2014 hanno avuto inizio i lavori di ristrutturazione della Piazza centrale della frazione, Piazza Napoli (già Piazza Roma), sede del palazzo scolastico. Nel 1931 l'allora podestà Evaristo Cerullo aveva dotato la piazza di un monumento funebre dedicato alla memoria di Arnaldo Mussolini, successivamente rimosso.

L'aria salubre della collina su cui sorge Bellizzi Irpino, ricordata (aria buona) a pag.142 della Istorica descrizione del Regno di Napoli (1823, Giuseppe Maria Alfano) nonché la sua posizione soleggiata, ne fecero sede, nel ventennio fascista, di una colonia elioterapica per bambini.

Storia

L'abitato odierno di Bellizzi Irpino è ricompreso, secondo gli studi dello storico Francesco Scandone, nella contrada rurale che durante il Medioevo veniva chiamata Alipergo (o Ipergo, Ripergo, Alabergo) il cui significato è "Colle di betulle" ("Albarus""Albulus" = pioppo bianco, "Berg" voce germanica = collina). L'ipotesi dello storico si basa su un documento del 1100 nel quale si cita un territorio sito nella località Alipergo, confinante con la "via pubblica Salernitana", la strada che, muovendo dalla Porta Maggiore di Avellino, dopo aver attraversato il fondovalle del Fenestrelle e la collina di San Tommaso si innestava sulla "Via Antica salernitana" proveniente dall'Abellinum romana (odierna Atripalda) nei pressi dell'odierno carcere.
La parola "pergo", oltre che dal germanico, può derivare dal latino "pergamus" o dal greco "pergamos" : tanto fa intendere la possibile presenza, in punto strategico, di un'altura fortificata, un presidio militare, lo stesso che hanno utilizzato i Borboni fino a metà dell'800 come deposito di polveri da sparo, tanto è vero che alla periferia nord della frazione c'è una zona che tuttora si chiama "Polverista", proprio perché c'era la polveriera dei Borboni, con una struttura ancora esistente.
La nascita del Casale avvenne a metà del secolo XVI. L'insediamento fu voluto dalla nobildonna italo-spagnola Maria de Cardona, feudataria di Avellino, per favorire lo "sviluppo agricolo" di quelle zone. Il progetto venne realizzato con l'immigrazione di 16 nuclei familiari, provenienti dalla limitrofa Aiello del Sabato, e tutti con il cognome Iannaccone. Nella numerazione dei fuochi (famiglie) del 1561, il Casale di Bellizzi risultava essere di 18 fuochi, per un totale di circa 90 persone. Di lì a poco il Casale venne elevato al rango di "Universitas", di cui si trova traccia in una documentazione del 1578 a proposito di un contenzioso aperto con il Portolano (esattore) di Avellino che pretendeva una contribuzione troppo onerosa.
Nel 1581, la città di Avellino con il Casale delle Bellezze, veniva acquistato da Marino Caracciolo, in nome di sua moglie Crisostoma Carafa. Uno dei primi baroni della "piccola università" di Bellizzi fu il conte veneziano Maiolino Bisaccioni, un personaggio di spicco della corte dei Caracciolo : cavaliere, poeta, letterato, storico, animatore di rappresentazioni teatrali. Il "baronato" nel 1626 veniva venduto al "magnifico" Giovanni Balzarano di Sarno.
Il "baronato di Bellizzi" appartenne alla famiglia Balzarano fino a metà Settecento, quando passò alla famiglia Brescia.
Il casale di Bellizzi dalla fine del 1500 alla prima metà del 1600 ebbe uno costante crescita demografica. Da 15 fuochi del 1561, passò a 28 nel 1595 e a 33 nel 1648. Purtroppo la peste del 1656 bloccò questa fase positiva per cui nel 1669 venivano registrati solo 25 fuochi.
La gestione della "piccola Università", fin dalle origini, fu sempre precaria e difficile. La comunità, che continuava a chiedere sgravi fiscali a causa del grave stato di povertà (li cittadini di detto Casale stanno ridotti all'ultimo delle miserie, mancando loro il necessario et molti per la loro povertà non tengono ne meno uno saccone dove dormire, dormendono sopra le tavole et ne li pagliari) nel 1705, anno di fondazione della confraternita laica sotto il titolo del "Purgatorio", aveva raggiunto le 185 unità.
Dal catasto del 1752 risultano 75 nuclei familiari per un totale di circa 350 abitanti. Si trattava in gran parte di "bracciali", tuttavia, la presenza di 10 "maccaronari" lascia pensare ad una ben consolidata tradizione artigianale in questo settore. Solo 15 famiglie abitavano in "case a fitto", che, in gran parte, appartenevano al barone di Bellizzi D. Giuseppe Brescia. Nel casale abitavano due sacerdoti: don Nicola Imbimbo, l'arciprete e don Pasquale Iannaccone. Il ceppo familiare più rappresentato era quello degli, "Iannaccone" con 14 unità, seguito dagli, "Urciuoli" (5 unità). Circa il 70% delle famiglie possedeva piccoli fondi agricoli. Tuttavia solo 5 famiglie potevano essere qualificate come "benestanti".
In gran parte l'economia del casale era basata sull'agricoltura, tant'è che nel 1759 venne istituito un "monte frumentario"', per aiutare i contadini in difficoltà nei periodi della semina. La benemerita istituzione a metà Ottocento era insufficiente a soddisfare le richieste, per cui nel 1846 venne creato un secondo Monte Frumentario.
La chiesa di S. Maria di Costantinopoli non aveva grosse rendite: un territorio di sei moggi ed una quindicina di capitali dati a censo; tuttavia essa riuscì sempre ad avere un assetto dignitoso grazie soprattutto al concorso dei cittadini del casale, come nel 1854, quando la comunità raccolse l'appello dell'arciprete Pellegrino Valente e, a costo di non pochi sacrifici, rìuscì a ristrutturare totalmente la chiesa.
Anche nel corso del XX secolo la chiesa fu ristrutturata più volte grazie alla generosa autotassazione degli abitanti, con coinvolgimento anche delle comunità di emigranti nel Nuovo Mondo.
Apposite lapidi poste nell'ingresso della Chiesa elencano i nominativi dei benefattori.
Nella prima metà dei '900, con la soppressione del "Comune" di Bellizzi (1938), la comunità è passata sotto la giurisdizione di Avellino.

Etimologia del nome

Il toponimo "Bellizzi", secondo gli storici del passato, sarebbe sinonimo di "luogo di piaceri, di bellezze, di diporto etc ;".
Essi immaginarono l'esistenza di antiche ville, dove risiedeva la "nobiltà avellinese". In realtà non esiste alcuna documentazione o testimonianza archeologica che possa fare da supporto a queste ipotesì. Non è improbabile che il toponimo possa invece derivare dal nome personale latino "Bellicius- Bellitius"".
Esso, come altri antichi "prediali" (nomi di territori derivanti dal nome del proprietario del fondo) si è tramandato anche dopo la penetrazione longobarda nelle nostre regioni, anche se non ha conservato il nome originario, verosimilmente "Bellizziano".
Secondo altre ricostruzioni il toponimo Bellezze è la traduzione della parola Pulcheria, dal latino pulcher,a,um (bello/a). La parola "Pulcheria" potrebbe avere un legame con Santa Pulcheria, imperatrice di Costantinopoli che diffuse il culto mariano nel mondo. Proprio alla Madonna di Costantinopoli è dedicata la Chiesa madre di Bellizzi Irpino.

Q: Swift 3: Split string into Array of Int I'm trying to split string into Array Of integers:
let stringNumbers = "1 2 10"
var arrayIntegers = stringNumbers.characters.flatMap{Int(String($0))}

But my problem is I'm getting this output:
[1, 2, 1, 0]

When I should be getting this output:
[1, 2, 10]

What I'm doing wrong?
I'll really appreciate your help.

A: Use this
let stringNumbers = "1 2 10"
let array = stringNumbers.components(separatedBy: " ")
let intArray = array.map { Int($0)!} // [1, 2, 10]

A: You are converting the individual characters of the strings into numbers. First the 1, then the space, then the 2, then the space, then the 1, and lastly the 0. If course converting the space gives a nil with is filtered out by using flatMap.
You can do:
let stringNumbers = "1 2 10"
var arrayIntegers = stringNumbers.components(separatedBy: " ").flatMap { Int($0) }

This splits the original string into an array of strings (separated by a space) and then maps those into integers.

A: In Swift 5 it is:
let stringNumbers = "1 2 10"
var arrayIntegers = stringNumbers.split(separator: " ").compactMap { Int($0) }

British Army Germany · "Building Bridges - Strengthening interoperability"British and German soldiers from Minden-based German-British Amphibious Engineer Battalion 130 took part in a capability demonstration in Ingolstadt for NATO allies and European partners. The Battalion, including British soldiers from 23 Amphibious Engineer Squadron RE, deployed their M3 amphibious rigs and other engineer equipment by rail, the first time for many personnel who quickly learned the skills under the watchful eye of trained movement specialists. Captain Henry Brown, Operations Officer for the Battalion emphasised the multi-national role of the demonstration. "It was a great opportunity for us to deploy our equipment by rail, the first time we have done this in a while, so re-learning that capability was good. The Battalion has deployed with two amphibious Squadrons and provides an opportunity, not just to showcase our capability but to train alongside our allies and partners."The Battalion was officially formed on 1 Oct 2021 but joint training happened before then. "23 Amph Engr Sqn is now integrated into the Battalion and we think we have introduced our British flavour into our operations. Language differences can still be a challenge here and there but on the water we act as one entity with adoptive hand signal and other procedures."Both nations operate the M3 rig which is used individually as a ferry or joined together to create a bridge for military vehicles to cross, including Main Battle Tanks and other heavy equipment. The UK and Germany are the only nations within NATO to have the bridging capability.

Fire in Hong Kong Apartment Building Kills Seven, Injures 11
In this photo provided by China's Xinhua News Agency, fire fighters and police officers investigate a fire scene in Hong Kong, Sunday, Nov. 15, 2020. City authorities said a fire in a crowded residential district in Hong Kong has "caused a number of deaths and injuries". (Lui Siu Wai/Xinhua News Agency via AP)
By ZEN SOO Associated Press
HONG KONG (AP) — Authorities in Hong Kong said at least seven people were killed and 11 injured in a fire at an apartment building that may have started at a gathering of people from the city's Nepalese community.
The blaze broke out Sunday night in Yau Ma Tei, a usually bustling area in Kowloon packed with old apartment blocks, shops and businesses.
The apartment where the fire started may have been operating as an unlicensed restaurant, according to the area's district council member, Leslie Chan. Chan said the dead and injured were from the Nepalese community.
Local media reports said people in the restaurant were celebrating Diwali, a Hindu festival, as well as a birthday when the blaze occurred. Candles set soundproofing materials on fire, according to the media reports.
Many Nepalese live in the area and work in Hong Kong's finance, retail and security businesses.
The Hong Kong government said four men and three women died. It said the ages of those killed and injured were between 8 and 48.
Fire officials said at a news conference early Monday that the cause of the blaze was still unknown. The building lacked a sprinkler system and people were trapped in the back of the kitchen, according to fire services department officer Cheung Kwong-yuen.
The apartment in the low-rise building had some of its windows blown out and the exterior walls were charred with soot. The building was cordoned off Monday while police stood guard.
Chan said the district council is providing assistance to people evacuated from the building and some will need to stay temporarily in hostels while the fire is investigated.
Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam issued a statement shortly after midnight saying she was "deeply saddened that the fire in Yau Ma Tei last night caused a number of deaths and injuries." She also visited the site of the fire on Monday morning.
Local media said the fire was the deadliest since a 2011 blaze that killed nine people.
The incident highlights fire safety issues in older buildings in the city, home to some of the world's most expensive real estate. Deadly fires used to be a regular occurrence in Hong Kong, one of the world's most densely populated cities, but have dwindled in recent years as the government implemented stricter fire safety measures.
This story has been corrected to show that the ages of the victims were between 8 and 48, not 8 and 38., and to show that 11 people were injured in the fire, not 12.

It also identifies the drivers and restraints for this market with insights on trends, opportunities, and challenges.
Over the last decade, the Internet has exhibited utmost growth and trend change over the use of online content. The ever-evolving Internet has resulted in growing Internet traffic, content richness, and the resultant network complexities in managing efficient content delivery to users. To counter these Internet limitations and content delivery drawbacks, CDNs have evolved.
The CDN is one of the fastest revenue generating market for the existing as well as for the new players. Rapid explosion of web-based content, mainly online music, online video, online transaction-based services, has enhanced the demand for CDNs. Nowadays, online content is growing at a rapid rate from content providing businesses as well as due to individuals who have started posting or uploading their content online to share with their peers. As the Internet traffic load increases, it becomes difficult to manage such huge traffic and provide Quality of Service (QoS) to the end user. Due to increasing demand for QoS, new players are entering this market with their network structure for network optimization. This increase in the number of new entrants results into intense competition for the new as well as for the existing leaders. Content providers have to choose between different CDN providers for achieving better QoS for their clients.
MarketsandMarkets has broadly segmented the CDN Market by solutions: CDN delivery, CDN analytics and monitoring, encoding and Digital Rights Management (DRM), transparent caching, video CMS, and online video solution; by service providers: commercial Peer-to-Peer (P2P) CDN, free CDN, Telco CDN, and traditional commercial CDN; by organization size: Small and Medium Businesses (SMBs) and large enterprises; by verticals: advertising, media and entertainment, gaming, e-commerce, Internet service providers, mobile service providers, consumer electronics, online music retailers, healthcare, higher education, government, and others; by regions: North America (NA), Latin America (LA), Europe, Asia-Pacific (APAC), and Middle East and Africa (MEA).
MarketsandMarkets believes that the pricing pressure and content providers' internal CDNs initiatives are the major issues in the CDN market. These challenges are increasing the pressure on CDN vendors to provide CDN services at low cost.
The Content Delivery Networks (CDN) Market is estimated to grow from $3.71billion in 2014 to $12.16 billion by 2019, at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 26.3% from 2014 to 2019. In terms of regions, NA is expected to be the biggest market in terms of revenue contribution while Asia Pacific (APAC) is expected to experience increased market traction with high CAGRs, in due course.

Feds charge 601 people in health care fraud, opioid crackdown
By Linda Trischitta
Authorities charge 601 people in health care fraud, opioid crackdown. Federal authorities call it the largest health care fraud crackdown in history. Among the people charged are 165 doctors, nurses and other licensed medical professionals.
Federal authorities have charged 601 people across the country, including 124 in South Florida, in what they called the largest crackdown in history on health care fraud.
South Florida retains its notorious ranking of two decades as a leading region for such cases. Prosecutors in the Southern District of Florida filed charges against 20 percent of the total defendants announced and said they were responsible for $337 million in false billings.
"The numbers are really staggering," Benjamin Greenberg, U.S. attorney for the southern district of Florida said Thursday at a Miami press conference.
Nationwide, various schemes involved $2 billion in losses because of fraud. Among those facing prosecution were 76 doctors, the U.S. Department of Justice said.
In South Florida, defendants in 59 cases were charged in May and June.

Illegal activities occurred around substance abuse treatment; distribution of opioids, money laundering, check cashing and billings to Medicare, prosecutors said.
Sober homes and treatment centers in Broward and Palm Beach counties have been a focus of investigators, Greenberg said.
"Most of the residential sober homes and treatment facilities abide by the law and help people. But unfortunately there are small minorities that don't, who are engaged in a particularly pernicious type of fraud that can actually cause physical harm to those most in need of treatment," he said.
Shimon Richmond, special agent in charge of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Inspector General in Miami, said, "We can't investigate and prosecute our way out of this. ... It's addressing the mindset that makes fraud OK throughout the South Florida environment, that looks at kickbacks as an acceptable way to run a business or to make money or supplement someone's income in a difficult situation."
A look at South Floridians charged in health care fraud, opioid crackdown
By Juan Ortega
Among the 59 cases described by the U.S. Attorney's Office, Southern District of Florida:
-- Dr. Arman Abovyan of Boca Raton, former medical director of Reflections Treatment Center in Margate and Journey to Recovery in Boca Raton, and Tina Marie Barbuto, of Boca Raton, a licensed mental health counselor and former clinical director at Reflections Treatment Center, were indicted this month with conspiracy to distribute and dispense controlled substances, and two counts, distribution of controlled substances, outside the course of medical practice, prosecutors said.
-- Kenneth Rivera-Kolb, a former physician from Largo, was indicted this month for conspiracy to distribute controlled substances in connection with his former role as medical director at Angel's Recovery, a substance treatment facility in Palm Beach County.
-- Christopher Liva of Boca Raton, Elaina Liva of Pompano Beach, former owners of Pop's Pharmacy in Deerfield Beach, and pharmacist Stephen Chalker of Wellington were indicted this month on one count of conspiracy to commit health care fraud.

-- Anthony Jackson of Lantana was sentenced to 42 months in prison after pleading guilty on June 21 to conspiracy to commit health care fraud. A former certified addiction counselor at Reflections Treatment Center in Margate and owner of Pantherview Sober Home in Boynton Beach, he was ordered to pay $5,122,886 in restitution.
-- Kenneth Bailynson of West Palm Beach, owner of Good Decisions Sober Living in West Palm Beach along with employees Stephanie Curran of Lake Worth, Dr. Mark Agresti of Palm Beach and Matthew Noel of Louisville, Ky. were indicted this month, charged with conspiracy to commit healthcare and wire fraud and money laundering. Prosecutors allege patients were illegally recruited; kickbacks were paid and health care benefit programs were billed for urine testing that was not necessary. The business submitted claims of approximately $106 million and received payments of about $31 million.

-- Evelio Suarez of Miramar was charged this month with conspiracy to commit money laundering, bribing a bank employee and obstructing justice. He allegedly controlled three check cashing stores in Hialeah that cashed nearly $500 million in checks. Checks were allegedly funded by heathcare, mortgage and ID theft tax refund frauds. Checks had been written to people who did not appear at the stores,had their identities stolen or were paid to flee to Cuba, prosecutors said.
Also Thursday in Washington, D.C. U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced the health care fraud and opioid crackdown with U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Alex Azar and other officials.
Much of the fraud is linked to the opioid crisis.

"In many cases, doctors, nurses, and pharmacists take advantage of people suffering from drug addiction in order to line their pockets," Sessions said.
"The perpetrators really are despicable and greedy people," Azar said.
There are an average of 115 opioid-related overdose deaths each day, Greenberg said, attributing the number to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In South Florida in 2016, 596 people died of opioid overdoses in Palm Beach County and 582 in Broward County, according to medical examiners' statistics.

PBA Group remains as lean and fast as a startup
It moved steadfastly from distribution to manufacturing, designing and now to training
Mon, Apr 17, 2017 - 5:50 AM
Chai Hung Yinchaihyn@sph.com.sg@ChaiHungYinBT
Mr Yap: "We don't try to jump, we don't try to skip the stages, we try to move through each stage very quickly."

FROM distributing mechanical and automation products to now manufacturing its own products using advanced manufacturing, PBA Group has grown by leaps and bounds in its 30 years of history.
Now, it has set up a training centre to help other small and medium enterprises (SMEs) like itself join the Industry 4.0 revolution.
Derrick Yap, chief executive officer of PBA Group, said the company's transformation was done progressively by taking small steps each time the company moved up the value chain.
Mr Yap told The Business Times: "We didn't feel just doing distribution is a viable business model. I thought this kind (of work) has very little value-add, especially (when) the Internet and web-selling started to take off, it means the world is becoming borderless. I thought distributors would serve less and less purpose."
The company then went into having its own product range by undertaking research and development (R&D) to build machines like robotics.
Mr Yap said: "We took up the challenge and we were quite brave to move into another new field, but (we were) not completely diversified, (we were still) related to the field we were used to. From there, we went one step further and again one step further."
Thus, from buying and selling products, it moved into contract manufacturing, and then designing and then component manufacturing.
Mr Yap felt that instead of assembling other people's components, the company should build and own the intellectual property (IP) for the components, which it did.
He said: "Then we are able to give customers a complete solution. Now we can use the parts that we distribute, assemble into a plate where we machine design the entire module with our engineers, use components that we own and (for which) we have IP, into a solution for our customers."
Besides making strides vertically, it has also expanded its footprint horizontally and geographically.
From the industrial space, it moved into the aerospace industry and has also made a mark in regional countries like Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines, China and Taiwan.
Said Mr Yap: "It is the same logic . . . that we progressed vertically and horizontally step-by-step.
"We don't try to jump, we don't try to skip the stages, we try to move through each stage very quickly. Many people say we still have the speed of a startup, even though we are established."
Although it is now a 500-strong company, it strives to be as lean as a startup, and is still nimble, active and quick to respond to changes.
Said Mr Yap: "That is done by empowering all the individuals and managers so that they can react very fast."
The company's staff are hands on and passionate, and have a great sense of ownership about the business.
He added: "We tend to run in such a way that we only tell you where we want to go. How you go there is your path. So people have a lot of leeway. It's kind of like in a startup."
Mr Yap is aware of the competition in the global arena and has decided that advanced manufacturing is the way to go, which has enabled it to reap a lower production cost per unit in Singapore than its China factory.
Its smart factory here is able to manufacture in "high-mix, low-volume" - ie many different products in small batches - even in a limited space of 5,000 sq ft.
He said: "If your production line is highly automated, the cost of your product is the cost of the equipment amortised over x number of years over x number of products you are producing in that production line.
"If my equipment cost is the same in Singapore, Malaysia and China, then it won't really matter where my factory is anymore."
The initial phase of adopting new technologies has not been easy but the company persevered. It has gone through the early stage and is now reaping a lot of benefits from automation.
Mr Yap said: "For us, I would like to think that it didn't last as long as other companies would have to go through because we already have all the engineers in-house.
"The only difficult part was we had to choose long-term profit over short -term profit. We had to choose to incur all the costs, we had to choose to not provide solutions to external customers but use our engineers to provide solutions internally."
Now, the group also has a training arm, Robotics Application Centre of Excellence (RACE), to drive Industry 4.0 change in Singapore and the region, as well as groom robotics engineers. It conducts robotics courses at various levels, for policymakers, business owners, educators to professional practitioners.

This Is the Modern Anti-Vaccine Movement
By Vincent Iannelli, MD / November 4, 2018 / #crazymothers, anti-vaccine heroes, anti-vaccine movement, anti-vaccine talking points, autistic, Big Pharma, Bob Sears, cherry picking, conspiracy theories, deaths from vaccine-preventable diseases, forced vaccination, graphs, Hillary Simpson, history of the anti-vaccine movement, holocaust, Jim Meehan, Leicester, measles outbreaks, Meryl Dorey, modern anti-vaccine movement, pro-choice vaccines, rape, regret, Sarah Pope, shedding, shedding season, Sherri Tenpenny, vaccine choice
We often like to think that we know how anti-vaccine folks think.
They are just scared and trying to do the right thing for their kids, right? Just like all of the rest of us?
Maybe some of them…
Of course, you can't group all anti-vaccine folks together, as many vaccine-hesitant or on-the-fence parents are truly just scared about the things they see and read about vaccines.
But they should know what they are getting into when they follow their favorite anti-vaccine hero, celebrity or Facebook group.
The modern anti-vaccine movement goes far deeper than worries about possible vaccine side effects.
Don't believe me?
Hillary Simpson may not share the anti-Semitic views of one of her admins, but many of her followers do…
It is hopefully clear to everyone by now that the modern anti-vaccine movement:
exploits tragedies
exploits parents who's children have died of vaccine-preventable diseases
exploits parents who's children have conditions that have nothing to do with vaccines
makes dangerous recommendations, from skipping RhoGAM and vitamin K to making homemade baby formula
invokes the Holocaust as often as possible
hurts autistic people
pushes alternative treatments, including advising people to avoid getting conventional treatment for cancer!
Why should this family have to come out and give an explanation for how their child died?
After a 4-month-old died of bacterial meningitis, anti-vaccine folks pushed the idea that it was a vaccine injury instead of an infection.
An anti-vaccine parenting group helped spread misinformation about this baby's death.
And they push their views that everything is a vaccine injury on everyone, even though most folks understand that vaccines are not associated with SIDS, shaken baby syndrome, autism, and most other things.
To be clear, there is no connection between vaccines and acute flaccid myelitis, no matter how hard anti-vaccine folks are trying to make one.
Award winning?
Sure, everyone and everything in anti-vaccine world is the very best, except if they are, then why are they trying so hard to convince you of that… So maybe you will agree with some of their more far-out claims, suggestions, and conspiracy theories?
Learn the risks of following bad advice.
After all, it's one thing to consider skipping or delaying your child's vaccines when you think you can get away with hiding in the herd or to buy some essential oils and supplements, but are you really going to say no to chemotherapy if your child has cancer? Brandy Vaughan seems to think you should.
If there is a RISK, there must be a CHOICE.
Do you think it is okay to put infants who are too young to be vaccinated at risk for measles and other vaccine-preventable diseases because you don't like the choices you have been given between getting your kids vaccinated and protected or keeping them out of school?
What about the parents of the kid who is being treated for cancer who gets exposed to chicken pox because someone else made the choice to not vaccinate their kid? Do you think that's fair?
The modern anti-vaccine movement is only about choice when it is about their choices and doesn't seem to care about the risks their unvaccinated kids pose to others.
Believe it or not, the modern anti-vaccine movement also equates getting vaccinated with rape…
Meryl Dorey has also claimed that vaccination is rape.
What else do most folks in the modern anti-vaccine movement believe?
They believe that:
vaccines don't work, but are somehow still able to cause shedding for long periods of time
vaccines are poison and full of toxins
vaccines have no benefits and always cause injury
diseases like measles and chicken pox are good for you
And of course, they believe that vaccine advocates are behind a big conspiracy, are lying to you, and are trying to force everyone to get vaccinated.
Is that what you believe?
Some nurses and doctors are refusing to get a flu shot and have to wear masks at work.
Even though these and every other anti-vaccine point you have heard has already been refuted a thousand times already.
The RhoGAM shot helps prevent hemolytic disease of the newborn. It is not a vaccine and is not part of a Big Pharma profit ploy…
Do you believe in chemtrails or that Bill Gates has a plan to depopulate the world using vaccines?
"As a result, multiple breakouts of measles have occurred throughout different parts of the Western world, infecting dozens of patients and even causing deaths."

If you do, understand that you have been fooled by the propaganda of the modern anti-vaccine movement. If you don't, understand that many of the folks in your anti-vaccine groups probably do.

Paul Westwood
It is logical fallacy to presume that anti-vaxxers are represented by there worst examples. It is the equivalent of concluding no scientific studies are valid, because of the current reproducibility crisis.
What would happen if science was being used more for business interests, then the real benefit of citizens? In a world where far more people die of prescribed opiod addictions, than measles, is it really surprising that people distrust the research that facilitated its approval?
It is also possible to be irrationally afraid of the anti-vaccine crowd. But if you are vaccinated, they really can't harm you.

Subject: Silver Prices Today Have Ben Bernanke to Thank

Silver Prices Today Have Ben Bernanke to Thank
By Tony Daltorio, Contributing Writer, Money Morning • September 19, 2013
Thanks to that "party animal" Ben Bernanke, silver prices today are enjoying a nice bounce.
That's because the U.S. Federal Reserve chairman, along with the other members at the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting yesterday, decided to keep the quantitative easing (QE3) flowing steady with $85 billion of bond buying per month.
After the Fed announcement, silver prices rallied by 5.5% to more than $23 an ounce. That's the precious metal's biggest one-day gain since June 28.
Kit Juckes, global strategist for SocGen, said in a report quoted by Bloomberg, "Bernanke had threatened to take away the punch bowl and bring the QE party to an end. But he's changed his mind, found more happy juice, and told us all to 'Party on, dude!'"
The FOMC said in a statement it would wait for "more evidence that [economic] progress will be sustained before adjusting the pace of its purchases" and pointed to recent upward moves in interest rates as "restraining economic growth."
Bernanke continued to send mixed messages about tapering, though, which eventually could hurt silver prices.
On the one hand, the Fed chairman said the decision to not taper was a "precautionary step" because the Fed was still worried about U.S. economic growth. The Fed in June downgraded its outlook on growth for 2013 to 2.3% from 2.5% and for 2014 to 3% from 3.3%.
But Bernanke also said that even if the economic data continued along its present path, a taper could come "possibly later this year."
Money Morning Nails It
The Fed's decision to keep the QE3 train running full speed caught most of Wall Street's analysts off guard, most of whom were expecting a token $10 billion taper move.
But Money Morning Chief Investment Strategist Keith Fitz-Gerald was not surprised at all. For months, he has told anyone who would listen that the Fed would do nothing.
"The [financial] markets have become so addicted to cheap stimulus that I don't believe Bernanke has the guts to take his foot off the proverbial gas pedal," Fitz-Gerald said in June.
The Federal Reserve's loose money policies are one reason we remain bullish on silver prices today.
Yet there is a more behind the strength in silver than just the Fed's money-printing policies…

This is a terminal fix that will "fix" nothing. The economy is in flames, hidden by mirrors, and if you don't have metals, you don't want to think about the future.
