Investigators tested endobronchial coils designed to improve breathing for patients with severe emphysema.
Coils implanted into the lungs may improve exercise tolerance for patients with severe emphysema, according to a study that involved Northwestern Medicine investigators, but more research is needed to determine which patients will respond best to the treatment.
Emphysema is a chronic respiratory disease in which air sacs in the lungs are over-inflated, making it difficult to breath. The endobronchial coils tested in the study are made of metal wires and implanted into the lung to compress diseased tissue and open surrounding airways to improve breathing.
Ravi Kalhan, MD, '06 GME, associate professor of Medicine in the Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care and of Preventive Medicine, was a co-author of the recent study.
In the study, 315 patients from 26 study sites around the world were randomly assigned to receive either the coils plus usual care or usual care alone. Forty percent of patients in the coil group improved exercise capacity significantly, compared to about 27 percent of patients who did not have the coils.
In future research, Kalhan and colleagues at Northwestern will continue to study chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
This research was funded by PneumRx Inc., the manufacturer of the coils.


If you want to see growth then this is needed.
It separates people who see growth from those who don't.
It positions you on the path toward success and achievement.
It's hard to do but worth it.
If you want your blog to grow then be consistent in posting. The key is consistency.
How do you stay consistent in posting?
I blog every morning as a part of my daily devotions. I did miss the fourth though.
great job. being consistent is key.
Having learned this lesson the hard way, I completely agree. I traveled a lot in the past three weeks and blogging became a "back burner" item in my life. That was neither wise nor fair to readers.
Now I'm back on and won't make that mistake again!
Great to hear your back. I hope your travels went well. At least people like me knew you where gone and might not be posting as much. I have made the same mistake. Thank you for sharing.
After three years of on and off blogging, I've finally learned the secret for me. It's to treat it as a class. I regularly teach two Bible studies a week. Now I'm taking a break from teaching locally for five or six months and I just tell myself I need to write my blog twice a week just like I'd prepare for a class. It's working – I'm even posting more that two times a week sometimes!
What a great strategy. Getting in the habit of writing and posting is so important. Have you seen a difference since you started posting more consistently? Thank you for stopping by and reading. Looking forward to checking out your blog.
It's only been a few weeks but, yes, I have – although I've stopped checking my stats now because I want to protect myself from discouragement, obsession, insecurity, pride, or anything else that might come along through constant stats checking! I'm going to limit it to once a week on Sundays. I'm actually excited about blogging this time so really appreciate all these posts you have on blogging.
Not checking your stats is a good idea. I try and stay away from the numbers and focus on writing and adding value to the people who read my blog. I'm looking forward to seeing your progress as the weeks/months go by.
Thanks for letting me know, Dan – I found it in the spam section and unspammed it.
Your welcome. Looking forward to following your blog.
You might need to figure out how to allow my comments to come through. Or keep checking your spam box for my comments. Because I commented again and the same thing happened. So the comment should be in your spam?
Thanks, Dan. I don't know why they're going into spam – especially after I unspammed the first one. I tried to approve it directly from spam this time so I'll see if that works. At any rate, thanks for taking the time to let me know. This is the first time a regular commenter has gone into spam so I'll have to work out the kinks I guess.
No problem, I wish I could provide a solution but don't know the cause or how to fix the issue. Its not a big problem though. Are you on any social media sites? If so maybe we can connect their and it might be easier to communicate.

American Superconductor partly relocates its manufacturing from China to Romania (2014)
American Superconductor partly relocates its manufacturing from China to Romania
Nine O'Clock March 20, 2014
The American Superconductor company will open a factory at Timisoara, where it will relocate part of the manufacturing of components for wind turbines from its current operations in China, Mediafax reports. Under the plan, "the transfer of the production capacity of control systems for customers outside China will move from the company factory in Suzhou, China, to a new production facility in Timisoara, Romania," reads a document sent by American Superconductor to the American stock exchange. The Romanian factory should become operational during the fiscal year 2014, which begins in April. While the facilities in China will continue to produce for the Chinese market, their personnel will be reduced following the opening of the new manufacturing centre in Romania. American Superconductor plans to close a factory in Wisconsin and relocate the production to Massachusetts, where it already has options and also the company HQ. Following these measures, American Superconductor expects to cut its costs by USD 3 M each year, starting with the fourth quarter of the next fiscal year. The restructuring plan will affect up to 120 employees in China. The number of jobs that will be cut will reach approximately 5-10 pc of the total staff registered in December.
AMSC is headquartered In Devens west of Boston, Massachusetts with operations in Asia, Australia, Europe and North America. It specializes in the design and manufacture of power systems and superconducting wire and owns AMSC Windtech in Klagenfurt, Austria.

Turkey urges world to back efforts in Syria's north
Amid Turkey's imminent peace operation into northern Syria, Ankara is urging the international community to assist its efforts to
stabilize the conflict-hit region.
In an op-ed on The Washington Post, Turkish Communications Director Fahrettin Altun said the U.S. has borne the brunt of the anti-ISIL campaign for a long while.
"Turkey, which has NATO's second-largest army, is willing and able to take the lead now and drive it home, bringing millions of refugees back to Syria in the process," Altun wrote.
"At this critical juncture, the international community must rally behind Turkey's rebuilding and stabilization efforts," he added.
Since 2016, Turkey's Euphrates Shield and Olive Branch operations in northwestern Syria have liberated the region from YPG/PKK and ISIL terrorists, making it possible for Syrians who fled the violence to return home.
Turkey has long decried the threat from terrorists east of the Euphrates in northern Syria, pledging military action to prevent the formation of a "terrorist corridor" there.
Altun said Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and his U.S. counterpart Donald Trump agreed to transfer the leadership of the anti-ISIL campaign to Ankara.
"The Turkish military, together with the Free Syrian Army, will cross the Turkish-Syrian border shortly," he said.
Turkey has long called for the U.S. to partner with it in the fight against ISIL, a terrorist group Ankara has worked to root out, arresting and deporting its members within Turkey.
'YPG threat'
Altun also asserted that the partnership of the U.S. with terror group PKK's Syrian affiliate YPG has been dubbed as "tactical" by American officials, adding that Trump's decision to pull forces back from northern Syria "reflects that view."
"Like the United States, Turkey does not go abroad in search of monsters to destroy. But when monsters attempt to knock down our doors and harm our citizens, we have to respond," Altun wrote.
He asserted that Turkey just aims to eliminate a long-stating threat by the YPG terror group and liberate Syrians "from the yoke of armed thugs."
He also highlighted Turkey's role in the wake of ISIL attacks, saying the country was the first to fight ISIL terrorists in war-torn Syria.
"Our country also helped the Free Syrian Army keep thousands of Islamic State militants behind bars for years," he said. "It is in our interest to preserve what the United States has accomplished, and to ensure that history does not repeat itself."
He also warned YPG terrorists to defect without delay if they are interested in fighting ISIL. In the event of fighting the Turkish military, Altun said Turkey will "have no choice but to stop them from disrupting" its anti-ISILfight.
"The world has a vested interest in the success of the fight against Islamic State under Turkey's leadership," Altun said, adding that U.S. troops in Syria deserve to return home and the locals, forced into exile by the YPG, get to return to their lands.
The senior official also praised the planned safe zone in northern Syria, saying it is good for Europe because it will address violence and instability in Syria, which he said were the root causes of illegal immigration and radicalization.
"Finally, the plan helps Turkey shelter innocent people from a known terrorist organization," he wrote.
Citing Erdoğan's speech on the safe zone at the UN General Assembly last month, Altun said up to 2 million Syrians will volunteer to live in a 20-mile secure area spanning from the Euphrates River to the Syria-Iraq border.
Turkey's past experiences
"If the safe zone's southern border reaches the Deir ez Zor-Raqqa line, that number could reach 3 million, including refugees currently in Europe," he added.
He said Turkey will build on its past experiences in northern Syria to keep the safe zone secure and stable and believes Syrians are equipped to govern themselves through elected local councils.
He warned that ISIL might re-emerge if local representation is not backed in northern Syria.
"In predominantly Kurdish areas, such as Afrin, Turkey oversaw the creation of local governing bodies with a Kurdish majority. The same will go for predominantly Kurdish parts of northeastern Syria.
"Our goal is to supplement those steps with international infrastructure investment for schools, hospitals and housing," he wrote.

Blake Shelton Praises Craig Morgan's New Single About Loss of Son: 'This Song Deserves to Be No. 1'
By Gayle Thompson - September 10, 2019 02:41 pm EDT
Country superstar Blake Shelton is speaking out about Craig Morgan's powerful new single, "The Father, My Son and the Holy Ghost," written about the loss of Morgan's son, Jerry. Morgan released the song a couple weeks ago, with the poignant tune capturing the attention of plenty of fans, including Shelton, who is doing his part to get the song to the top of the charts.
I would gladly give up my spot on country radio to get this song on.. Wow @cmorganmusic you blow me away brother.. There's nothing easy or fun about writing a song like this but sometimes it's just something you gotta do. https://t.co/QXJ2wiZ4cI
— Blake Shelton (@blakeshelton) September 9, 2019
"I would gladly give up my spot on country radio to get this song on," Shelton tweeted. "Wow [Craig Morgan], you blow me away brother. There's nothing easy or fun about writing a song like this but sometimes it's just something you gotta do."
When one of Shelton's followers said, "This could possibly be the best song written in decades. Wow," Shelton replied by saying, "I agree.. THIS is why I love country music."
Several hours later, Shelton returned, encouraging fans to do their part to get "The Father, My Son and the Holy Ghost" up the charts.
"Come on everybody this song deserves to be number 1 at least on iTunes," Shelton urged. "Tweet your friends, tag the song. All people need to do is hear it once. They will want to own it. This song deserves to be recognized."
Later, the "Hell Right" singer shared a screen shot of "My Father, The Son and The Holy Ghost" sitting at No. 75 on iTunes, encouraging fans to use social media to help the song up the charts.
"Lets go everyone," Shelton posted. "Tweet your favorite artist to retweet.. 74 spots to go.. We can do this. This is what country music is all about!!!"

Morgan wrote the song about the tragic loss of his son, Jerry, who passed away at just 19 years old in a drowning accident.
"It was very tough to write," Morgan acknowledged on Fox & Friends. "It's tough to perform. In fact, it wasn't my choice to do this. It just happened, and I do it. I had a very dear friend tell me that you must sing this song. An Opry member told me that. And I hope that through this song, I can encourage other people to stick with their faith, and make it work."

Here we will discuss the ingredients needed for a laptop for Solidworks. We will focus on the best laptop for SolidWorks, because of the much needed mobility for everyone from freelancers to professional CAD designer, illustrators etc. SolidWorks due to its industry-wide reputation & fundamental design has become the unofficial de facto for AutoCAD software benchmarks.
So let's dive straight in and talk about criteria. SolidWorks design is so refined, it caters to a large user-base. From newbies to advance modelers and engineers, SolidWorks has a massive following. And that's one of the things any person thinking of buying a laptop for SolidWorks needs to think about. What's the use? For educationists and newbies, a single core processor (>1.8 GHz) with 4GB of RAM is enough to get the software up and running.
Typical Specifications: 17.3" Screen 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7 2.80 GHz If you want to be mobile and take your CAD gear with you, pick a laptop with a bigger screen, such as this one.
Typical Specifications: 15.6" Anti Glare Full HD Intel Core i7-5600U at 2.60GHz 8GB RAM, 128GB SSD The 15.5" display is a 3K multi-touch display with a 2880×1620 resolution with a tiny 720p camera on its top. The battery life is amazing even for CADing and the performance as always lives up to the Lenovo promise.
Typical Specifications: Intel Core i7-4720HQ 3.6 GHz Processor 8 GB DDR3L SDRAM 1 TB 7200 rpm Hard Drive CADing is smooth even when you're animating and simulating thanks to the dual-core Intel i7.
What to look for in the Best Laptop for Solidworks?
As was mentioned in quite detail previously, part modelling in Solidworks is sequential process that banks on a single core. So if majority of your work revolves around part modelling, choosing a multi-core CPU with a higher clock speed per core is more important than just looking to increase the number of cores. Actually, feature tree in Solidworks is sequential in nature and therefore your CPU must start at the top and work its way down the tree. You cannot allocate one core to start from the top while the other core starts solving from bottom to top. This is because the second core would not know what to work on since the first core hasn't finished its job. This calls for a single threaded frequency load and that's where CPU frequency (clock speed) plays its part. Look for Turbo Boost technology in laptop processors as this allows you to overclock CPU cores individually allocating resources to the core that needs them most.
Working with assemblies necessitates the use of resources culled from the best available options in hardware. It requires RAM, CPU and Hard drive to work in tandem and to run smoothly. Once you load an assembly you must have enough ram to handle all the parts without having the RAM to look for space in virtual memory. Similarly the RAM needs to be provided with parts quickly to load the assembly so having a SSD will make this process much faster compared to having the parts loaded from a HDD.
Working on a lot of parts and assembly drawings requires multiple cores since it is a multi-threaded task. Looking for multi core processors in this case is the best option. Solidwork drawing assigns each core a different drawing view and since each drawing sheet generally has more than three views, it would serve you better to have a quad core processor instead of investing in a dual core option. Multicore threading technology is a must so more threads can be allocated to the drawing process. Hence a quad core CPU with Hyper-Threading will outperform a dual core CPU.
Both Rendering and simulation are core churning operations so the more cores you have the faster results you are expected to get. I have read a lot of posts alluding to the fact that most people believe rendering is performed by GPU when it is primarily a CPU based process. Some modern rendering programs take advantage of the GPU at times but that does hold not true for majority of the programs. This is normally done by utilizing the GPU's cores to aid the CPU in rendering processes. When we say rendering is a multi-threaded operation that means it will utilize more than one processor at a time. You can also opt for multiple CPUs depending on the motherboard. If this is your area of interest and you need a quick return on your investment then go for a multi-threaded CPU with turbo boost technology.
For information on GPUs please refer to the previous article here.
Dell Precision M6800 – The Mammoth!
This is a mammoth in the laptop arena by every measure. CADing is a very pleasant experience taking into account the Quad-core Intel i7. Referring to the last article, you know "why Intel!" With that Quad-core processor you get the option of clocking speeds varying from 2.0 – 3.1 GHz. A 2GB GDDR5 AMD card (yes, I know) accompanies the board coupled with 32GB of RAM. The performance as always a Dell trademark is exceptional with a smooth wheezing feeling to all animations and motion-blur renders. The amount of RAM and the number of CPU cores would prove rather handy to those who are responsible for part assemblies because of the size of datasets and bulk of calculations. The simulations & virtual tours/walkthroughs would benefit most from the amount of RAM whereas the rendering itself will be handsomely entertained by the CPU/GPU duo.
A 17.3" screen with 1600*900 resolution and a 720p camera are certainly nice to have. As far as mobility is concerned, personally this is not too small for CADing. If you want to be mobile and take your CAD gear with you, the screen size is not a reason to cry about. 750G's of storage, Wifi, Bluetooth 4.0 and the Dell Precision tag complete the package.
Lenovo ThinkPad W550s – The T-Rex!
Lenovo has always been a personal favorite. The fact that their dual core configurations can compete with the quad cores of others never ceases to amaze me. It's always a delight to meet an IBM engineer or a fellow IBM-er/supporter, we're all geeky and we love our blue ThinkVantage button, a true ThinkPad trade mark. In this edition, Lenovo spit out a 2.6 Dual core i7 from Intel, with an NVIDIA Quadro K2100M with a clock of 2GHz. 16 GB RAM and 512 GB SSD handsomely accommodate resource-intensive tasks.
The 15.5" display is a 3K multi-touch display with a 2880×1620 resolution with a tiny 720p camera on its top. The battery life is amazing even for CADing and the performance as always lives up to the Lenovo promise. One of the things that I personally appreciate about IBM is the fact that IBM doesn't really care about design and feel as much as they do about reliability. Even performance is second. Reliability is the number one factor for IBM machines. Following this, the body is bulky and the design is economical. The fact that the CPU cannot be upgraded is the only reason why This IBM follows the Dell instead of preceding it.
MSI GP60 Leopard – The workhorse!
This is the economical option for power. CADing is smooth even when you're animating and simulating thanks to the Dual-core Intel i5. With that dual-core processor you get a clocking speeds of 2.9, with Turbo© by Intel – 3.5 GHz. A 2GB NVIDIA GPU supports the board coupled with 8GB of RAM. The performance was what one expects from MSI, top notch. The amount of RAM and the number of CPU cores would prove rather handy to those who are responsible for part assemblies because of the size of datasets and bulk of calculations. The simulations & virtual tours/walkthroughs would benefit from the modest-but-adequate amount of RAM whereas the rendering itself will be handsomely entertained by the CPU/GPU duo.
A 17.3" screen with 1920×1080 non-reflective resolution is a good to have. Like I said before, as far as mobility is concerned, personally this is not too small for CADing. If you want to be mobile and take your CAD gear with you, the screen size is not a reason to cry about. 1TB of storage, SSD optional of course. A few things to note are that this laptop is included for those low on budget, so that they may get the needed gear and start CADing. Extra options are available which can be accessed from the following link. But in this price, this is one of the best options to CAD around on.
I would go for Lenovo W550s if I had the choice of selecting one. It is cheaper compared to other models available in the market whilst not compromising on performance. My needs dictate part modelling to a major extent with a mere requirement for simulation and rendering needs but don't get me wrong, this stills works stupendously fast during these modules as well. Fortunately I haven't been to the insane world of animations otherwise those of you who intend on pursuing this field with your new laptop feel free to invest in a better laptop.
This leaves us with an option for a custom solution. Generally speaking there are very few people who go for this option and are mostly those who either work for a quite big firm or expect a huge return in investment that allows them to afford these machines easily. At the end of the day it is your need that would dictate which specifications you would like to have your laptop made from but for most people like myself out there who enjoy modelling on a daily basis, Lenovo W550s is the best laptop for Solidworks.

Cape Union Mart is a well-established retailer operating for more than eight decades.
Cape Union Mart is one of South Africa's oldest retail stores, with a history stretching back to 1933. The company was founded by Philip Krawitz in Cape Town, with its first store opening on Mostert Street. It was originally an army and navy store, supplying a wide product range and other utilities. Given its ideal location, the store became popular with passing whaling ships, fishermen and troops, especially throughout the war years. The company earned a reputation for offering friendly service, in addition to its extensive range. Following the war, Arthur Krawitz took over the reigns of the business from his father. Under his leadership, the business continued to prosper and became the destination store for consumers looking to buy clothing that would be suitable for overseas travels, particularly in winter. Cape Union Mart continues to be managed by the Krawitz family, with Philip J. Krawitz taking over in the 1970s and ushering in the third generation of the family at the helm. By 1993, Cape Union Mart had opened stores in Gauteng, Botswana and Namibia. In 2011, Andre Labuschagne was appointed as the first non-family-member CEO of the company.
Cape Union Mart has continued to build on its 84-year reputation and is known today for supplying quality outdoor and adventure clothing for men, women and children, as well as other gear, and accessories. The company stocks a variety of well-known brands such as Go-Pro, Salomon, Garmin, Merrell and more. Cape Union Mart also has its own brand, KWay, which it purchased from a small manufacturer in 1981. KWay has since grown into one of the country's most recognised outdoor brands and demonstrates its quality by being the clothes sponsor for South African teams of Everest climbers. The brand continues to be produced locally. There are currently 140 stores operating in Southern Africa and the company employs over 2,000 loyal workers – some of whom have been working there for 30 years. The company prides itself on having never retrenched employees. The business has also expanded to launch the Old Khaki and Poetry brands of aspirational fashion clothing, which initially started as product lines within Cape Union Mart, but now exist as standalone stores.
Cape Union Mart was the first company to import international clothing brands such as Levi's Jeans and Gore-Tex clothing to South Africa.

Italian Hockey League, Unterland vs Valdifiemme for the title of the best seven games – FISG
Thalia Twitty 10 months ago 2 min read
It is finally time to take the final chapter on IHL, which comes after a long break thanks to the early finish of the semi-finals. Unterland and Fiemme are back on track to play for the title and see who will succeed at Caldaro, and they will do so after 9 and 11 days of rest, respectively. A useful time for coaches to work better on tactics and for players to get back to the top in the face of a challenge that promises to be shining. The two teams have so far been the great reigning champions of the season, and they've also found a near-obvious path to the playoffs, so they deserve to play for the title as well given the quality and depth of their two rosters.
After two consecutive Italian Cups, Unterland also wants to put on the billboard the "Big Goal", that title that eluded him last season. South Tyrolean showed everyone their firepower by taking down an opponent as tough as Pergine, beating them in their last two semi-final matches 16 to 1. It's a very clear sign of how the Hallfors got into the right shape in this period and are preparing in their best form. Conditions for a very subtle challenge. Nobody can boast more depth than Unterland, capable of running steadily and winning in four lines, focusing on many young but quality players and the ability to make a difference. Among the lineups, substitute Steiner, having played Giovannilli in the first quarter-final, provided the solidity to the defensive department who knows they have a strong goalkeeper behind them.
READ Postponement of the ninth day. Tresino Escape, Forte dei Marmi Lift - OA Sport
Perhaps the only thing South Tyrolans lack is experience, an element that Fiemme never lacks in the most ways, on the contrary. Erwin Kostner's squad is made up of players even over the years but they haven't given up an inch yet. Buying a Czech mocha, set during the current season, has been an icing on an attack that he knows can't be stopped at times. It's hard to find a weakness in this Fiemme, who manages to find great material from so many elements of his team: it will be important for Trentino to be able to respond to the frenetic pace of the Cavaliers, but also for them the depth of the team is certainly an important advantage. There's also a great balance in the previous four seasons (two in the regular season, two in the main round), which ended with two wins each.

Robin Lehner, Isles' new goalie, battled addiction, bipolar disorder
Islanders goalie Robin Lehner, who joined the team in free agency, recently opened up about his battles with mental health and addiction issues. On Thursday, he spoke about looking forward to his new team and a new season in light of those issues. (Credit: Newsday / Yeong-Ung Yang)
Updated September 13, 2018 2:22 PM
On the very first day of training camp, before even one practice, the Islanders' new goalie felt as if he had already made it through the most grueling part of the season. Robin Lehner shed the burdens he had been secretly carrying for years. He announced that he has bipolar disorder along with problems with addiction and he vowed to finally play a season while sober.
"It's just my reality, my truth," he said during media day Thursday at Northwell Health Ice Center. "A lot of things happened this summer and obviously I'm starting over in a new organization. I had to take a step backward to take a few forward."
Here is what happened this summer: Lehner acknowledged that he had a breakdown last season with the Sabres, having had suicidal thoughts and realizing, "I could not stand being alone in my brain." He went through alcohol rehab and swore off the pills he had taken when drinking wasn't enough. He signed as a free agent with a team desperate for goaltending help. He had heart-to-heart talks with new general manager Lou Lamoriello and new coach Barry Trotz.
Then Lehner brought a thunderclap to the first official day in the Islanders' new, post-John Tavares era when he told his story in a lengthy essay in The Athletic then explained it some more to the media.
"It was extremely hard," he said of his decision to go public. "The main reason I did it was, hopefully, I will help someone else, maybe someone in the league, maybe someone out there. It has been an emotional couple of days, but I feel good to have it out, ready to move forward and prepare for a fun season."
How much fun it will be remains to be seen, given the state of the Islanders and the nature of his condition. The 27-year-old from Gothenburg, Sweden — a husband and father of two young children — will start with the first workout Friday and take it from there.
The Islanders' season will depend a lot on how much they can rely on their goalie. Lehner has shown flashes with the Senators and Sabres, but many teams shied away from him because of what they saw was a hot temper and itchy personality. It turns out there were reasons for him being the way he was. "I've never felt better in my life," he said Thursday. "Finally, I got diagnosed with something and I got medication for it."
A goalie is a team's backbone, especially a team that has lost its superstar and was not so hot to begin with. For starters, though, the team is telling Lehner it has his back. "Hockey is a safe place once you get in the [locker] room," defenseman Thomas Hickey said. "It's going to be on us as teammates to help him out and make sure he's doing OK because I can't imagine going through those things. It's going to help him to have all of us on his side."
Lehner's revelation was the top topic in Trotz' first formal news conference. "To me, it shows strength," the coach said. "I know how I've been, I know Lou's values and the organizational values that are now in place, it's about the person first. If you get the person to be the best person he can be, he's going to be a better player."
Understanding from up above is a sign that a renowned disciplinarian like Lamoriello has a big heart. True, he has gone gruffly over the top in his rationalization about having lost Tavares, repeatedly saying, "Great players win some games, but great teams win championships"--as if you have to choose one or the other. Lou knows better. His success was built on great players such as Martin Brodeur and Scott Stevens.
But, as Matt Martin said after having played under Lamoriello in Toronto, "He is all about his players, all for his players . . .And every once in a while, you'll get a smile out of him."
Now, Lamoriello is fully backing a huge goalie ("Very intimidating," new teammate Anthony Beauvillier said, smiling) who is determined to finally be happy. "This is a day-to-day battle for me," Lehner said. "I'm looking forward to it."

Dhaka, Oct 18 (UNB) – BNP senior leader Nazrul Islam Khan on Thursday warned that those who go away from the national unity will throw themselves into the rubbish bin.
"Jatiya Oikyafront was formed together with our party. This unity will be extended and strengthened further. The government is now carrying out propaganda against the front leaders to mislead people," he said.
Sammilita Chhatra Forum arranged the programme at the Jatiya Press Club demanding BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia's release from jail.
Three days after BNP formed a new alliance, Jatiya Oikyafront, two partners of its old alliance 20-party, NAP and NDP, announced to quit the coalition accusing the party of deviating from its moral position.
Nazrul, a BNP standing committee member and 20-party coordinator, said they forged the greater unity to make their movement for 'restoration' of democracy stronger.
He said most opposition parties are now making similar demands for holding the next polls under a non-party administration by dissolving the parliament to save the country from misrule.
The BNP leader urged people of all walks of life to get ready for making sacrifice for 'restoration' of democracy in the country.
Dhaka, Oct 18 (UNB) – Newly formed Jatiya Oikyafront leader Dr Kamal Hossain on Thursday briefed foreign diplomats stationed in Dhaka about their demands, goals and position on the next general election.
Initially, BNP secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir welcomed the diplomats and introduced the Oikyafront leaders at a city hotel.
Later, Dr Kamal Hossain read out a written copy of their party's seven-point demand and 11 objectives, and then replied to different questions by the diplomats.
However, the Oikyafront leaders did not formally brief reporters about the outcome of the meeting.
Talking to reporters, BNP standing committee member Moudud Ahmed said Dr Kamal Hossain informed the foreign envoys about their alliance's demands and goals and replied to their questions.
BNP standing committee member Dr Abdul Moyeen Khan said Kamal Hossain told the diplomats that their alliance wants to restore democracy and voting rights, and ensure a fair and credible election so that people get a chance to elect their representatives as per their choice.
BNP organising secretary Shama Obaid said diplomats from around 25 countries, including the USA, the UK, EU, Canada, India, Pakistan, Chain, Japan, France, Germany, Switzerland, Denmark, Greece, Turkey, Vietnam and Norway joined the briefing.
A Gono Forum leader, who was present at the meeting, wishing anonymity, said Dr Kamal Hossain told the diplomats that their alliance wants the government to ensure a level-playing field and congenial atmosphere for holding the next election with the participation of all parties.
As a diplomat wanted to know the name of chief of the Oikyafront, the noted jurist said their alliance is run by a joint leadership.
Replying to another question, the noted jurist said the parliament members will decide who will be the Prime Minister from their alliance if it wins the polls.
Asked whether the party will join the polls if BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia is not freed from jail, Kamal Hossain said they want all political prisoners to be released before the announcement of the election schedule for holding the election in a credible and acceptable manner, the Gono Forum leader added.
Apart from Kamal and Fakhrul, BNP standing committee members Khandaker Mosharraf Hossain, Moudud Ahmed, Jamiruddin Sircar, Rafiqul Islam Mia, Dr Abdul Moyeen Khan, Mirza Abbas, Nazrul Islam Khan, Amir Khosru Mahmud Chowdhury, JSD present ASM Abdur Rob, vice president Tania Rob, general secretary Abdul Malek Ratan, Nagorik Oikya convener Mahmudur Rahman Manna, Gano Forum executive president Subrata Chowdhury, general secretary Mostafa Mohsin Montu, Dr Zafrullah Chowdhury, former adviser to the army-backed caretaker government Barrister Mainul Husein and former vice president of Dhaka University Central Students' Union (Ducsu) Sultan Mohammad Mansur Ahmed were present .
Earlier on Tuesday, the Oikya Front leaders at a meeting at JSD president ASM Abdur Rob's Uttara residence decided to hold a rally in Sylhet on October 23.
On October 13, BNP together with Dr Kamal-led Jatiya Oikya Prokriya, JSD and Nagorik Oikya launched the Jatiy Oikyafront to press for their seven-point demand, including holding the next polls under a non-party administration.
Dhaka, Oct 18 (UNB) –The schedule for the next parliamentary election will be announced in the first week of November, said Election Commission Secretary Helal Uddin Ahmed on Thursday.
Dhaka, Oct 17 (UNB) - Newly formed Jatiya Oikya Front will brief foreign diplomats stationed in Dhaka at a city hotel on Thursday afternoon about the country's latest political situation.
The decision was taken at a meeting of the Oikya Front leaders held at BNP chairperson's Gulshan office on Wednesday night, said BNP standing committee member Khandaker Mosharraf Hossain.
Besides, the BNP leader said, the Oikya Front leaders decided to hold public rallies in Chattogram on October 27 and in Rajshahi on October 30 after their maiden rally in Sylhet on October 23.
Mosharraf said they will offer fateha at the shrines of Hazrat Shahjalal (R) and Shah Paran (R) in Sylhet on October 23, and then hold a public rally in the city.
He said their local leaders are in discussions with the local administration over holding the rally in Sylhet.
The BNP leader said they have decided to form a liaison committee of the Oikya Front, and the names of its members will be announced within a day or two.
The meeting that began around 9pm continued for over an hour. It was the first meeting of the Oikya Front leaders at any office of BNP since its formation.
Apart from Mosharraf, BNP standing committee member Moudud Ahmed, JSD vice president Tania Rob, general secretary Abdul Malek Ratan, Nagorik Oikya convener Mahmudur Rahman Manna, Gano Forum executive president Subrata Chowdhury, general secretary Mostafa Mohsin Montu, Dr Zafrullah Chowdhury, former adviser to the army-backed caretaker government Barrister Mainul Husein and former vice president of Dhaka University Central Students' Union (Ducsu) Sultan Mohammad Mansur Ahmed were present at the meeting.
On October 13, BNP together with Dr Kama-led Jatiya Oikya Prokriya, JSD and Nagorik Oikya launched the Jatiy Oikya Front to press for their seven-point demand, including holding the next polls under a non-party administration.
Dhaka, Oct 17 (UNB) – A new political platform, Movement for Justice, started its journey on Wednesday with an aim to forge national unity to end the politics of division and vengeance.
Sanaul Haque Niru, chief coordinator of the platform and also a former Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal leader, came up with the announcement of the new platform's launch at the Jatiya Press Club.
He said they want to get involved with Dr Kamal Hossain-led Jatiya Oikya Front to bring a qualitative change in politics.
Niru was expelled from the JCD in the 80s before the election to Dhaka University Central Students' Union (Ducsu).
Dr Kamal Hossain was scheduled to address the launching programme as the chief guest, but he could not join it due to his illness.
He said the state now cannot see the real problem as it has now become sick and got affected with cataract.
Former adviser to the army-backed caretaker government Barrister Mainul Husein said the government is getting frightened following formation of Jatiya Oikya Front under the leadership of Dr Kamal Hossain.
He warned that the government may put its strong effort to frustrate the Oikya Front's move to bring a change.
Husein strongly opposed the filing a treason case against a freedom fighter like Dr Zafrullah even after he sought apology for his comment about the Army Chief.
He claimed that there is now no rule of law in the country as politicians are now least bothered about it since their main focus is to plunder public money.

Massachusetts student who raped 2 girls escapes jail term
A Massachusetts student suspected of sexually assaulting two unconscious classmates will not serve jail time or have to register as a sex offender, receiving probation for what his attorney called "a mistake."
David Becker, 18, was charged with two counts of rape and one count of indecent assault after he allegedly penetrated two 18-year-old girls with his finger while they were unconscious, according to court documents viewed by MassLive.com.
The two East Longmeadow High School seniors were intoxicated when they fell asleep in a bed at a party at a classmate's house party and allegedly woke to Becker sexually assaulting them on April 2.
Allegations of what occurred that night made their way around the school, eventually catching the attention of a school resource officer and then the police.
Becker denied touching one of the victims and said he thought that what he did to the other young woman was OK because she did not stop him, a police report obtained by WWLP said.
One of the victims told cops that she heard Becker had assaulted other girls in the past and was referred to as "David the Rapist," MassLive.com wrote.
Thomas Rooke, Becker's attorney, said both allegations were false. He also noted his client was a three-sport athlete, did community service and wants to continue his education.

Though prosecutors recommended two years in prison after charging him with rape, Becker received two years' probation.
He must remain drug and alcohol free, submit to evaluation for sex offender treatment and stay away from the two young women.
Becker can serve out the terms of probation in Ohio, where he wrote on his now-deleted Facebook he planned to attend college.
The University of Dayton, where Becker listed as the school he planned to attend, tweeteed on Monday: "David Becker will not be attending the University of Dayton as a student this year."
Becker is also not required to register as a sex offender.
"We all made mistakes when we were 17, 18, 19 years old, and we shouldn't be branded for life with a felony offense and branded a sex offender," Rooke said. "Putting this kid in jail for two years would have destroyed this kid's life."
Many were outraged to learn of Becker's sentence, taking to social media to vent their frustrations at the perceived leniency afforded to young men accused of sexual assault.
"Of course, we wouldn't want his youthful mistake to haunt him for the rest of his life like, yanno(sic), his F****** VICTIMS," one person wrote on Facebook.
"This crap makes me want to scream," another person wrote. "How are there so many judges that think rape isn't a big deal?!"

Another posted: "Let's introduce yet another rapist to the world. It seems people (kids, and judges alike) have learned little from Brock Turner. More raping of drunk girls. More 'privilege acquittals.'"
Turner, a former Stanford student and athlete, was sentenced to six months in June for sexually assaulting a woman behind a dumpster. He had faced a minimum of two years for the three felonies he was convicted of, but Santa Clara County Judge Aaron Persky cited his youth and lack of a criminal record in his considerably light sentence.
Persky, who continues to face a slew of criticism for the lenient sentence handed down to Turner, recused himself last week from making his first major decision in another sex case, filing a ruling that he saw publicity about a child pornography case that would compromise his impartiality, Mercury News reported.


Here the situation is similar with China in many ways. The Indian army also numerous, due to the large number of the population, although the army inferior to the Chinese experience and level of education. In recent years, the economy and technology in India are developing literally giant strides, Indian experts were allowed in addition to its own development to create weapons of the latest Russian technologies. This is — another country with a nuclear arsenal.
In terms of the number of personnel — the very largest army in the world, it has two and a half million people with the ability to call five percent of the population, which amounts to sixty million — a figure due to the high population of the country, comparable only with India. As you know, China has a lot of military arrangements and agreements with Russia, which significantly increases its military potential. Do not forget about the fact that China — a nuclear power, has adopted a nuclear weapon. Currently, the active growth of the economy can be the key to China's output in the first place, but now they are third among the strongest and most powerful armies in the world.

Utah State knocks off Boise State to make MWC semifinals for the first time

Boise State Broncos guard Chandler Hutchison celebrates as the Broncos pull ahead early in the game against the Utah State Aggies during the Mountain West Conference basketball tournament in Las Vegas on Thursday, March 8, 2018.

LAS VEGAS — For the first time ever, the Utah State basketball team is headed to the semifinals of the Mountain West Conference Tournament after the Aggies knocked off favored Boise State 78-75 Thursday night at Thomas & Mack Center.
The Aggies (17-16) came back from another slow start — they trailed by as many as 13 in the first half against the league's No. 2 seed — to advance to Friday's semis where they'll take on New Mexico at 9:30 p.m. MT.
The Aggies, who had come from behind to beat Colorado State in the first round, got a terrific performance from Sam Merrill, a sophomore guard from Bountiful, who scored a game-high 28 points with 7 of 10 from 3-point range. Merrill hit the biggest bucket of the game, a 3-pointer from out front with 32 seconds left to give the Aggies a four-point lead.
"We had the big possession at the end and there was no doubt where we were going," said USU coach Tim Duryea. "We were going to get the ball in his hands."
Merrill came off a screen near the top of the key and fired up the three that swished and gave the Aggies their largest lead of the game.
"That last shot I'd taken it a million times and made it quite a few times," said Merrill. "We hadn't run (the play) yet during the game, so I had a feeling it would be open and came up and shot it confidently."
There was still plenty of drama after Merrill's shot as Zach Haney cut the lead to two with a follow-up basket with 24 seconds left. Then on the inbounds, Merrill threw it away, only to make a steal on the Broncos inbounds, before the ball ended up in two players hands for a jump ball, giving Boise State possession.
The Broncos set up a play for their best player Chandler Hutchison, who drove down the lane but missed a 12-footer. Koby McEwen corralled the rebound and was fouled but he only made one of two with 7.6 seconds left.
Boise had one last chance, but Hutchison's 3-point try bounced away, giving the Aggies an unexpected victory.
The Broncos have been on the NCAA bubble for much of the season, but are obviously out now with a 23-8 record that will likely land them in the NIT.
They came out smoking by hitting their first six shots, including four 3-pointers to take a 16-7 lead and stretched it to 36-23 before the Aggies closed within eight at the half as Merrill hit a 3-pointer in the final seconds.
"Sam made a big 3 before half and gave us a little bit of momentum going into the locker room," said Duryea.
Boise still led by 10 at 51-41 when Merrill went on his own scoring spree after a basket by Diogo with seven points in less than a minute as the Aggies pulled within one.
From there the game was tight the rest of the way and the game was tied at 73 after a McEwen 3-pointer with 1:38 left. Then came Merrill's big 3-pointer after Dwayne Brown made one of two free throws.
Besides Merrill's 28 points, McEwen added 14 points and eight rebounds and Brown chipped in 10.
Boise was led by guard Lexus Williams, the team's fourth-leading scorer, who scored a season-high 24 points. Hutchison, who had to sit out 13 minutes of the first half because of two fouls, scored 14 and Chris Sengfelder and Justinian Jessup each had 11.
The Aggies had the T&M crowd on their side as the game came down to the wire, as the New Mexico and Wyoming fans, waiting for their game after the USU-BSU contest, obviously wanted to get rid of the higher-seeded Broncos.
McEwen said the Aggie players noticed the fans on their side and though he appreciated it, also acted a little offended.
"We knew why they were doing that," he said. "But they don't want to see us."
The Aggies say they're not content just to get past the quarterfinals.
"This is the farthest we've been in our five years in the league, it's been a grind for us," said Duryea. "Winning a quarterfinal game is great, it's a step in the process, but it's not the end goal. The goal for us is to win the tournament."
If the Aggies win Friday, they'll play in the MWC finals Saturday at 4 p.m. MT.

Incoming Senate Democratic Leader Audrey Gibson (D-Jacksonville) on Friday said she was stunned by the ongoing inability of the Republican legislative leadership to reach an agreement with the Seminole Tribe over gaming in Florida, and alarmed by the suggestion of an expensive special session to deal with the unresolved issue.
At issue is the sudden announcement last night by incoming Senate President Bill Galvano that a special session might be required due to a loss of revenue should the Republican legislative leadership continue to reach an impasse with the Seminole Tribe over gaming.
But as Senator Gibson noted, not only was there ample time in the first month of session to resolve any issues, but little information was made available to lawmakers warning them that the collapse of negotiations would threaten the state spending plan for the coming year.
"This should have been resolved before we adjourned," said the incoming Leader. "One full year after talks began on an agreement with the Seminoles, the subject was barely discussed until the last days of session when the budget conference was convened, too late for any real chance to pass a bill. So not only does last night's announcement underscore the lack of transparency as the budget was assembled, but the need for a solid agreement before any calls for a special session potentially costing hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars are issued.

Leading men's accessories brand Hook & Albert is partnering with Dallas artist Kyle Steed, the man behind murals at Sixty Vines Dallas, Oak Cliff Coffee, and Trinity Strand Trail, for the its first-ever artist collaboration.
"Having our corporate headquarters in Dallas, most of our office has been in contact with some part of Kyle's work," says co-founder Adam Schoenberg. "We're fans and supporters of creative minds, and more important, incredible people. Kyle checks both of those boxes."
Schoenberg, with his longtime friend and partner Cory Rosenberg, launched the Dallas-based label in 2011 to fill a void in the market for functional, stylish accessories for men.
Today, Hook & Albert is best known for small leather goods and travel bags, most notably The Garment Weekender Bag, which caught the eyes of fashion editors across the country when it was introduced several years ago and has since become a brand hero.
While Steed's graphic, black-and-white collection is a departure for the brand, it's right at home with Hook & Albert's streamlined aesthetic. Steed, who describes his style as "minimal and abstract," was immediately drawn to the project.
"I'm drawn to the elegance and simplicity of the brand," says Steed. "When Hook & Albert asked me to collaborate, I was super excited. They were so open to letting me work freely and conceptualize without restraints."
The Kyle Steed Collection features hand-painted weekender bags, dopp kits, briefcases, wallets, card holders and glasses cases, priced from $100-$1,200.

Abuelaish Izzeldin
Izzeldin Abuelaish, often referred to as "the Gaza Doctor" in foreign media, is a Palestinian medical doctor and infertility specialist who has dedicated his life to peace in the conflict between Israel and Palestine.
Born and raised in the Jabalia refugee camp in the Gaza Strip, Dr. Abuelaish has overcome many personal hardships, including poverty and violence, to become one of the most outspoken, prominent and beloved researchers, educators and public speakers on peace and development in the Middle East. His personal doctrine is that hate is not a response to war. Rather, open communication, understanding and compassion are the tools to bridge the divide between Israeli and Palestinian interests. From a young age, Dr. Abuelaish set his sights on becoming a doctor and studied hard to achieve his dream, despite having to work outside his profession to support both himself and his family. He eventually garnered a scholarship to attend medical school at the University of Cairo. Following this, he obtained a diploma in Obstetrics and Gynecology with the Ministry of Health in Saudi Arabia in collaboration with the Institute of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of London. He later completed a residency in obstetrics and gynecology at Saroka Hospital in Israel, followed by further study in fetal medicine and genetics at V. Buzzi Hospital in Milan, Italy and Erasme Hospital in Brussels, Belgium. He then went on to earn his Master's degree in Public Health, Health Policy and Management at Harvard University. Dr. Abuelaish was the first Palestinian doctor to receive a staff position at an Israeli hospital. For many years, he worked as a senior researcher at the Gertner Institute in Sheba hospital in Israel.

Kim Tae Woo's agency responded about his father-in-law appeared on the Blue House website	in News

Kim Tae Woo's agency responded about his father-in-law appeared on the Blue House website
Kim Tae-woo got 'debts' (debts too, I was a herd). Kim Dae-woo, a 26-year-old man who lent money to his father, said he had not received it.
On the 13th, the bill on the National People 's Petition petition on the 13th of the day said, "I am accusing the god Kim Tae - woo, the father of Kim Oeo, the wife of Wife Kim Ari."
The author claimed that his father borrowed money from an apartment loan in 1992 and lent money to his father, but he did not receive it. The author's house eventually passed on to the auction, and the author's family added that Kim OO had to go into the ring house of the Yeonnam-dong where he lived.
The author who claimed that Kim OO escaped to the US while his father was working in Andong complained at that time and recently Kim OO has come to Korea from the US but he is not suspending the prosecution. He insisted that he did not meet them.
The author said, "I have experienced many bad experiences that I would not have experienced until I lived in Daldong, and I hate Seoul so much that I hate it. "Kim Tae-woo and Kim Ae-ri are urging Kim OO to contact him, and promise that he has not been able to keep for 26 years. .
On the other hand, god Kim Taewoo is married in 2011 and has 1 male and 2 female.
Next is the Blue House National Petition.
Kim OO, in 1992, asked my father to buy a nightclub in Seoul and asked him to borrow money as an investment, but he refused several times that he did not have any money. But he kept asking me to borrow money and he said that he did not keep the money. So now he wants to borrow your house as a security and ask him to borrow it.
In the endless rejection, my father made a loan from 'Choheung Mutual Savings Depository' as an apartment collateral. As soon as he got the loan, Kim OO took the money to the loading river OO and took it out. One or two months after I borrowed the money, the principal is not even given.
So why do not you give me money? Kim OO says that now the company is in a lawsuit with Konkuk University.
I waited and contacted that the apartment was going to be auctioned. So I told him that Abuji went to the Kim OO office in Yangjae-dong, Seoul and went to the auction house to find my house. You are here.
Eventually, the auction came in, and I remember that my house had a red ticket stuck at my house, and then I moved to an apartment where the apartment moved. I remember when I was young, but my dad went with a red tag, and I saw a red tag on the TV and household appliances in the house, and I told my mother that she should not take it off.
So, I was living in that house for 9 months while I was living in that house for 9 months. My father asked me to go home several times and visited Seoul several times. I did not want to ask for it but I did not find it. I will move in the month. It was a very nice mansion and it was a three-story house. Kim OO lived on the second and third floors, and the first floor was ringed, and when I got there, I lived without gas range at first. My father had to commute to the Kim OO office from time to time to find the house somehow, and he stayed there and monitored it.
Meanwhile, Kim OO made a food company in Andong, and his father and Kim OO's Load River OO reside at Andong factory. While my father was living in Andong, I moved out of my house and we moved away. . So, our family of four made a dowry in the inn room. At that time, I was in the second grade of elementary school, and I remember going to the back door at the inn and going to school.
After all, I went to the Kim OO company and started to get angry. At that time, Kim OO gave me 10 million won for the money, and asked me to get a house where I would get a monthly rent of 100 million won. So at the end of November, 1994, I went to a villa in Donggyo-dong, and I moved to elementary school.
However, I did not pay a monthly rent after moving, and I received a monthly salary of two million won for one year and six months working in Andong. We had to cut off the school that we did not have money, and because I was away from the school, I went to school in a voyage car. While my father was working in Andong, Kim OO flew mainly to the United States.
At that time, my parents, who had no way at the moment, arranged their house and got 3,000,000 won to go down to Busan to save the room. Kim OO and the rivers OO were sued by the eastern subdivision. The river OO was investigated, but the victim was the victim and all actions were directed by Kim OO. At that time, Kim OO was accused of escaping Han Sangtae, I thought Kim OO had recently come to Korea from the United States, but I do not think he was suspected of prosecution.
I have contacted Kim OO through my acquaintance in Seoul, who know all of these facts several times.
I have had many bad experiences that I could not experience from going to Seoul to living in Daldongne, so I hate Seoul so much that I hate it. There are too many bad memories of sexual harassment and similarities at a young age. It is because of the lack of money for the head of a family living well. I have to invest .. I do it quickly. I'll pay you back soon. I'll give you the house as a security loan. Let me make an urgent complaint. I would like to punish Kim OO, who has been steadily buying fraudulently for the rest of his life.
My child was like that and I lived well. My house was broken and my mother had a sore job from day to day. My house was day, night, girl and me and my sister. I had to be a mother since I was 8 years old. I can not tell because my parents know it is hard even if there is hard work, and after I have suffered so hard, I have bought my house right now, and my mother will be knocked down by cerebral hemorrhage.
It was the 4th blood cancer, and I received the 3 month sentence, but did not give up until the end and saved my mother.
My father worked in the evening and I sleep 1-2 hours a day. I went to school by going to school and nursing my mother in the ward for over a year. My mother is paraplegic in the upper right half. I did not have the university that I wanted, and my dream had to be folded, and the house that I bought at that time was eventually a house full of debt, not a whole house, .
There was that house, so my mom could have cured it. Until it became a body, the money that was earned by bones became eventually ill, and the hospital which had not been able to go for several million won came to hospital bill of a few billion and there was no insurance at the time. However, the child of the Kim OO con artists is living so well, and I am so angry that my house still lives hard.
Even now, I hope Kim OO will find the house and apologize to my father sincerely.
Kim Tae Woo and Kim Ae Lee should contact Kim OO, and if you are a promise you have not kept for 26 years, please keep it now. If you want to be a parent who is not ashamed of your child, please be sure. I have a child with three children and I have no choice but to be a father who does not show up on the face of such a child.

If you run a small business, there's never enough time in the day to get everything done, and often one of the main casualties is invoicing your customers. It's just such a chore to drag up your invoicing program or service and set out all the details, and then locate the address to send it to and so on. Huge drag.
Have you seen Monty Python and the Holy Grail? I'd feel a bit shocked if you haven't, actually. If you've pondered how a swallow could carry a coconut, then you've likely wished you had two halves of a coconut so that you sound like you're riding a horse. While we can't exactly tote around a coconut all day for a bit of comic relief, it can be attached to our modes of transportation for an added dab of hilarity.
Electronic music is both entrancing, and very difficult to make. While the purists who believe that classical music is the only "real" music (they do exist, and they're quite serious), music like electronica has its own method to madness, and technical skill. If you've ever taken interest in this kind of music, and wanted to dabble in it, then playing with an analog synth might be fun.
There aren't a lot of ways you can show how weird you are without getting arrested, except perhaps for singing loudly in train carriages.

We all know the age of the robot is coming, what with Asimo, Aibo, QRIO and the rest. The thing about them all, though, is they're just a bit intimidating. Watching Asimo skip, run and swivel is rather like watching a Terminator kitten romping about just before it turns on you with eyes blazing.

Learning how to play an instrument can be pretty difficult. Let's say you pick a stringed instrument.

Will there be a backlash? Will people become so fed up with being constantly tethered to a communication device, phone, computer, wireless network, satellite tracking system that they'll rebel and move 'off-grid' en masse? There's probably already a movement building amongst certain elements of society, social hermits, radiation sensitive souls and the like, and it's inevitable that it will grow over time.
