Биография
Соли Ашурходжаевич Раджабов родился  в Ходженте Ходжентского уезда Самаркандской области Туркестанского генерал-губернаторства Российской империи (с 1936 года — Ленинабад, ныне Худжанд, Согдийская область, Республика Таджикистан) в семье кустаря-сапожника , таджика по происхождению Ашурходжа Раджабова . После учёбы в начальной советской школе в Ходженте, затем в школе-интернате в Ташкенте: «Вскоре пионервожатому отряда С. Раджабову довелось увидеть человека, чьё имя носил отряд. Это случилось летом 1925 года. Несколько мальчиков и среди них 13-летний Соли сидели у арыка и ели размоченный в воде хлеб. Мимо проехали всадники. У арыка <…> предложили прокатиться <…> повезли их через базар Панчшанбе к ж/д станции. У вокзала <…> толпа встретила поезд. Из вагона вышел человек в очках, в каракулевой шапке, произнес речь и уехал. Это был М. И. Калинин, <…> Прошел год. Однажды летом Соли предложил: «Поедем на вокзал, как тогда» <…> стали ждать поезда и человека в очках с бородкой. Но поезд не приехал, человек в очках не появился. <…> медленно подкатил товарный, ребята залезли в товарняк <…> Проснувшись утром, увидели перед собой людей в черных шинелях — Комиссия по борьбе с детской беспризорностью и безнадзорностью <…> детей, даже не выслушав, увезли в Ташкент и поместили в интернат. Так С. А. Раджабов попал в Ташкентский интернат  в Арпопояне, который стал его настоящей жизненной школой, началом биографии» В 1922 году вступил в Детскую коммунистическую организацию, с 1925 по 1940 годы был членом ВЛКСМ.

Wang, L and Lin, M (2008) A novel cell wall-anchored peptidoglycan hydrolase (autolysin), IspC, essential for Listeria monocytogenes virulence: genetic and proteomic analysis. Microbiology (Reading, Engl.) 154:1900-13
We have recently concluded that a Listeria monocytogenes 86 kDa immunogenic surface protein, IspC, is a cell wall-anchored peptidoglycan hydrolase (autolysin), capable of degrading the cell wall peptidoglycan of the bacterium itself. To determine if this enzyme has any biological functions and/or plays a role in virulence, we in-frame-deleted the ispC gene from the L. monocytogenes chromosome. This DeltaispC mutant exhibited complete abrogation of expression of IspC and displayed no defects in in vitro growth, colony and microscopic morphologies, or biochemical characteristics. Lack of IspC led to attenuated virulence in mice, evidenced by a significant reduction in bacterial counts in livers and brains and no mortality compared with the wild-type. Furthermore, the data from assays using various eukaryotic cells for adhesion, invasion, actin tail formation, plaque formation and intracellular growth indicated that the mutant was severely attenuated in virulence in a cell culture model in a cell type-dependent manner. The findings that (i) the mutant was impaired for adhesion to certain eukaryotic cells, and (ii) both purified IspC and its C-terminal cell wall-binding domain were capable of binding sheep choroid plexus (SCP) epithelial cells and Vero cells, supported the role of IspC as an adhesin in virulence. The DeltaispC mutant exhibited a marked defect in adhesion to and invasion of SCP cells but not human brain microvascular endothelial cells (HBMEC), suggesting that IspC is necessary for crossing the blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier. Proteomic and immunological analysis showed a reduced surface expression of some known or putative virulence factors (e.g. ActA, InlC2 and a flagellin homologue, FlaA) due to IspC deficiency. Altogether, this study demonstrates that IspC, expressed as a minor autolysin in vitro, is not important for cell division or separation but is essential for full virulence of L. monocytogenes in vivo.

Formula One: Renault driver Kevin Magnussen's car catches fire
Renault driver Kevin Magnussen's car is engulfed in flames at the pit during the first free practice session of the Formula One Malaysia Grand Prix in Sepang on Sept 30, 2016. PHOTO: AFP

http://str.sg/4NBR
SEPANG (AFP) - Renault said they were working frantically to get Kevin Magnussen out for second free practice after a dramatic pit-lane fire at the Malaysian Grand Prix on Friday.
Magnussen, who had returned with smoke coming from his engine cover after just one lap of the morning's first practice session, was forced to leap to safety when fire broke out outside the Renault garage.
Pit crew were quickly on the scene with extinguishers, but with fuel spilling out across hot engine parts, the flames reappeared several times and the session was red-flagged after just 11 minutes as smoke filled the air and foam and powder from extinguishers covered the pit lane.
We were expecting it to be hot, but not that hot! My crew were great dealing with the fire and getting the car back into action👏 #MalaysiaGP pic.twitter.com/8oW5y3UKfv
— Kevin Magnussen (@KevinMagnussen) September 30, 2016
Renault technical chief Nick Chester said his mechanics were pushing to prepare the car - which amazingly was not badly damaged - in the 21/2 hours between sessions.
"We had a fuel leak from a breather," Chester told Sky Sports television. "We were running the tank full. Everyone is OK, which is the main thing.
"Fortunately the car doesn't seem to be too badly damaged, and we will try to get him out for FP2. There's a fair bit of work to do, but we'll try."
When the session got back under way after a 15-minute delay, the Mercedes of Nico Rosberg set the fastest time ahead of his team-mate Lewis Hamilton.
The second Renault of Jolyon Palmer by contrast had a trouble-free 90 minute practice to be 19th on the timing sheets.


The era of LPVOs (low-powered variable optics) is upon us. And there's a lot of good options out there. The Vortex Razor HD is one such option. Especially when the new version that was released featured a decent reduction in weight. The Razor is one of the few scopes on the market with a decent daylight-visible reticle. Granted, the battery life isn't amazing when you're on 11, the highest setting. So it shouldn't be treated exactly like a red dot. But if the battery dies, you've still got an etched reticle and very clear glass.
The Razor HD-E is second focal plane.
The Razor is built like a tank with a standard 30mm tube. The Razor HD is built with low-profile capped windage and elevation turrets. Capped turrets are very handy for rigorous activities. The turrets offer 50 MOA of adjustment with a single turn while you're zero-resetting the optic.
Every Razor HD-E we sell includes the Switchview throw lever by Vortex. Something we believe every LPVO should include. Normally sold for $60.
Every Razor HD-E we ship includes the Switchview throw lever.
The caps help prevent the turrets from shifting during rigorous activity.
Positive click turrets. Shown with caps removed.
When you're done zeroing, you simply remove the hex screw to re-zero the turret.
How does the weight of the Vortex Razor 1-6 HD-E compare to the Vudu?
The Razor is 21.5oz, and the Vudu is 20.1oz.
Which Geissele Scope mount do you recommend for this?
The 1.93, or the Super Precision Extended length. 30mm, obviously.
Is the illuminated center dot bright enough on a sunny day?
Yes. Which is rare to find with an LPVO these days. But the battery doesn't last long and then the dot dims once the battery drops.

Plan International was founded over 75 years ago with a mission to promote and protect the rights of children. The organisation was set up by British journalist John Langdon-Davies and refugee worker Eric Muggeridge in 1937, with the original aim to provide food, accommodation and education to children whose lives had been disrupted by the Spanish Civil War. Langdon-Davies conceived the idea of a personal relationship between a child and a sponsor – a model that puts the child at the centre, and remains the core of what we do. Today, Plan International is a global organisation that is active in over 70 countries to advance children's rights and equality for girls. Who We Are We work with communities around the world to end the cycle of poverty for children. We work with communities around the world to end the cycle of poverty for children. Founded over 70 years ago, Plan is a nearly $800 million organization often ranked among the top 10 international development agencies by reputation, size and scope. We work side-by-side with communities in 50 developing countries to end the cycle of poverty for children, developing solutions to ensure long-term sustainability. Our level of community engagement, long-term outlook and constant focus on the needs and priorities of children is unique among international development organizations. Our solutions are designed up-front to be owned by communities for generations to come and range from clean water and health care programs, to education projects and child protection initiatives. Community by community, Plan works to promise futures that are worthy of all children's potential. Our Vision Our vision is of a world in which all children realize their full potential in societies that respect people's rights and dignity. Our Mission Plan strives to achieve lasting improvements in the quality of life of vulnerable children in developing countries by: Enabling children, their families and their communities to meet basic needs and to increase their ability to participate in and benefit from their societies; Fostering relationships to increase understanding and unity among peoples of different cultures and countries; and Promoting the rights and interests of the world's children.

'Genocide Day': Thousands of Rohingya rally in Bangladesh camps
Refugees in Bangladesh camps demand rights and citizenship on second anniversary of exodus after Myanmar crackdown.
Thousands of Rohingya refugees have marked the second anniversary of their exodus into Bangladesh by rallying and praying as they demand Myanmar grant them citizenship and other rights before they agree to return.
Almost 200,000 Rohingya participated in a peaceful gathering, which was attended by UN officials, at the Kutupalong camp in Bangladesh's Cox's Bazar on Sunday, police officer Zakir Hassan told AFP news agency.
Children, hijab-wearing women, and men wearing long lungis shouted: "God is great, long live Rohingya" as they marched in the heart of the world's largest refugee camp to commemorate what they described as "Genocide Day".
Some carried placards and banners, reading "Never again! Rohingya genocide remembrance day" and "Restore our citizenship".
On August 25, 2017, nearly 740,000 Muslim-majority Rohingya fled Rakhine State for Bangladesh - joining 200,000 already there - after Myanmar's armed forces launched a brutal crackdown following attacks on security posts.
Sunday's rally came days after a second failed attempt to repatriate the refugees, which saw not a single Rohingya turn up to return across the border.
"We want to tell the world that we want our rights back, we want citizenship, we want our homes and land back," Mohib Ullah, one of the organisers of Sunday's protest, told the Associated Press news agency. "Myanmar is our country. We are Rohingya."
"I have come here to seek justice for the murder of my two sons. I will continue to seek justice till my last breath," 50-year-old Tayaba Khatun told AFP as tears rolled down her cheeks.
'Long-term problem'
On Saturday, Bangladesh police said they shot dead two refugees during a gunfight in a camp after the pair were accused of killing a ruling party official.
Nearly a million Rohingya live in squalid camps in southeast Bangladesh.
Al Jazeera's Stefanie Dekker, reporting from the Kutupalong refugee camp, said: "The scale of this camp is like nothing you have ever seen. It has roughly the same population as Islamabad or Oslo."
"A city of refugees, but without the infrastructure needed to cope," she added.
The Rohingya, a mainly Muslim minority, are not recognised as an ethnic group in Myanmar, despite having lived there for generations. They have been denied citizenship and are rendered stateless.
Bangladesh and Myanmar signed a repatriation deal in November 2017, with a plan to return the refugees within two years.
Bangladesh, with the help of the UN refugee agency, attempted to start the repatriation of 3,450 Rohingya on Thursday for a second time after the last attempt in November, but none agreed to go back voluntarily.
"They asked if we wanted to go back to Myanmar, I said no. They asked me why. I told them that our homes were burned, our family members were raped and killed. This is why we suffered to come here. How can we go back without knowing that we will be safe?" Noor Hossain told Al Jazeera.
Rohingya leader Mohib Ullah said the stateless minority wanted to return home, but only after they were granted citizenship, their security was ensured and they were allowed to settle back in their villages.
"We have asked the Burmese government for dialogue. But we haven't got any response from them yet," Ullah told the rally.
Al Jazeera's Dekker said many were too "terrified and traumatised" to go back.
Rohingya refugees hesitant to return to Myanmar
"There are reports that most of the homes of these people have been razed to the ground by the authorities, that other structures have been put up in their place, so where will they be going back to?" she said.
"These are the issues that haven't been addressed and I think many people tell you realistically that this is going to be a long-term problem for Bangladesh and potentially the region."
'Genocidal intent'
A UN-established investigation last year recommended the prosecution of Myanmar's top military commanders on charges of genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity for the crackdown on the Rohingya.
Myanmar dismissed the allegations.
On Thursday, the UN Independent International Fact-Finding Mission on Myanmar released a new report concluding that rapes of Rohingya women by Myanmar's security forces were systemic and demonstrated an intent to commit genocide.
The report said the discrimination Myanmar practised against the Rohingya in peacetime aggravated the sexual violence towards them during times of conflict.
The UN has called the Rohingya crisis a "textbook example of ethnic cleansing".
"The Rohingya genocide is the last step in the continuity of persecution and a deliberate campaign of terror, violence, killings and rape waged against our people that began decades ago," the UK-based Arakan Rohingya National Organisation (ARNO) said in a statement on Sunday.
"Today, we remember and honour all those who were killed as heroes and martyrs. We will remember them forever."
What is Myanmar offering the Rohingya to return home?


Kachin Independence Army (KIA) troops clashed with the Burma Army in Hpakant Township of Kachin State, according to Lt-Col Tang Seng of KIA Battalion 6.
He estimated that at least five battalions from the Burma Army, also known as the Tatmadaw, entered KIA-controlled areas.
"We did not negotiate with them, they would not accept that even if we tried, as we have no ceasefire agreement," he said.
The KIA's bilateral ceasefire with the government broke down in 2011.
The Irrawaddy was unable to reach the Burma Army or speak to people on the ground to confirm the KIA's reports.
Clashes between the KIA and the Tatmadaw had simmered down after government troops launched a large-scale offensive in December last year and seized the strategically important KIA base Gideon and two other mountain posts.
The National League for Democracy-led government will hold the second round of its Union Peace Conference, also known as the 21st Century Panglong peace conference, next week.
Although State Counselor Daw Aung San Suu Kyi said that all ethnic armed groups would be invited attend, it is unclear in what capacity.
The KIA had previously suggested that if the organization was invited as an "observer" to the peace conference it would not attend.


The rapid growth in the automotive industry, especially the premium automotive segment had propelled the demand for high-value automotive sun-visors. High priced automotive interiors are installed in premium cars which are not offered in other vehicle segments. The high sales of premium vehicles in developed economies due to ongoing trend of premiumization among consumers. This will result in increasing production of premium automotive interior parts for luxury cars. The high growth in the sales of premium cars will further boost the demand for high-value automotive sun visor applications. Therefore, the increasing demand for premium vehicles will drive the growth of automotive sun visor market. The global automotive sun visor market size will grow by over USD 212.5 million during 2019-2023.
A sun visor blocks direct sunlight and helps to prolong the life of the vehicle's electronic components. Therefore, to enhance driving experience provided by sun visors in expected to drive the market growth.
The automotive sun visor manufacturers need to design sun visor to match the dimension required by the consumers which incur R&D cost and pose a challenge for automotive sun visor vendors.

Major Chinese Tech Company Gets License to Test Self-Driving Cars
Chinese tech company Baidu have obtained five license plates to test self-driving cars in the country's capital.
By Jessica Miley
Baidu's units would push for self-driving development Baidu
China's largest search engine, Baidu, have been granted a temporary license to test self-driving vehicles on public roads. Temporary license plates assigned to self-driving cars in China come in three levels ranging from T1-T5.
Baidu has reportedly obtained three T5 plates. Cars in this category are required to possess exhaustive abilities including cognition and traffic law compliance, route execution, and emergency execution. China has invested heavily in self-driving technology and have quickly added legislation in place regarding testing after the sector expanded rapidly.
We are honored to be a part of a major milestone in #AutonomousDriving history today in receiving the first-ever permits for Autonomous Driving Road Testing in #Beijing! To mark the occasion, the 5 newly-licensed @ApolloPlatform cars hit the road for a #testdrive! #mobility pic.twitter.com/Zx5o2IVSpt
— Baidu Inc. (@Baidu_Inc) March 22, 2018
Strict testing conditions
Cars are restricted to be tested only on designated roads. These 33 roads which roughly total 105 km are all 10km from the city center of Beijing. Any car undergoing testing must have also previously completed more than 5,000km of drive time at a closed test site.
Beijing hosts a closed 13.3-hectare area in the Haidian District for this testing. "With supportive policies, we believe that Beijing will become a rising hub for the autonomous driving industry," Baidu Vice-President Zhao Cheng said.
In addition to the cars high level of technology, every self-driving car must have a driver who can take over control of the vehicle at any stage. These test drivers must have at least 50 hours of self-driving training before being able to test cars on public streets.
Baidu are not along in their pus for developing self-driving vehicles. Testing of cars has started in Shanghai backed by the Chinese electric vehicle startup NIO and state-owned automaker SAIC Motor.
Self-driving fatality halts testing
Plans to expand testing programs comes on the back of news that an Uber self-driving car hit and killed a pedestrian in Tempe, Arizona in the United States last week. The car was reported traveling at 64 kmh and did not slow down or swerve to avoid collision with the pedestrian.
There was a safety driver present at the time of the collision. Dashcam footage released this week of the incident show that the driver was not paying attention to the road at the time of the impact.
The fatality is believed to the first reported death of a self-driving car. The crash is being investigated by the National Transportation Safety Board but the local police chief involved has already commented, "Uber would likely not be at fault in this incident."
Self-Driving Uber Car Involved in Arizona Pedestrian Death
Uber has temporarily suspended its self-driving testing program in the wake of the crash and other self-driving companies have followed suit. Toyota has paused its autonomous vehicle testing telling online press, "Because Toyota Research Institute (TRI) feels the incident may have an emotional effect on its test drivers, TRI has decided to temporarily pause its own Chauffeur mode testing on public roads."
Apollo invests 1.5bn in self-drivng tech
China seems determined to push forward with self-driving vehicle development in the global race to perfect the technology. Baidu have spread their chances of being involved in the leading company by setting up a $1.5 billion autonomous driving fund called Apollo.
"Apollo provides an open, reliable and secure software platform for its partners to develop their own autonomous driving systems through on-vehicle and hardware platforms," said the company's website. The company has already created 80 partnerships and have hopes for fully autonomous vehicles to hit the road before 2020.

11 Things Your Lips Say About You
A quick look at your lip print can reveal a whole lot.
By Samantha Lefave
Your lip print is more useful than leaving behind a sexy stain on your Starbucks cup or leaving a this-is-so-embarrassing mark on your nephew's cute chubby cheeks. In fact, they actually reveal a ton about your personality. And since we're as curious as a smelly cat (Friends reference—anyone?), we tapped lipsologist Ariana/Anna Snodgrass, a Jilly Eddy-certified lipsologist, to find out just how much our lips are really saying.
So go and layer on your favorite shade (for ultrasoft lips, we're obsessed with GLAMGLOWs new Lip Duo—a fizzy lip treatment for exfoliation, and lip balm for tons of moisture), grab a piece of paper and pucker up. Then take a look at the list below to find out what your kisser says.
First there's your shape to consider...
Open in the Center, But Closed on the Sides:
You're open to new experiences and love to find random of-the-moment adventures. If you notice your print is really open—more than1.5 inches tall and 2.25 inches wide, if we're getting technical—consider yourself the life of the party that everyone wants to be around.
Open Corners:
You're easily bored and need to keep busy in order to feel satisfied. You may enjoy bouncing from task to task, rather than finishing one thing before moving on to the next, because it keeps your brain stimulated and moving in all different directions.
Square or Rectangle:
More than anything, you really love to nurture others (hello, mom of the year!). Which makes sense, since everyone likes to turn to you when working out a big problem. People tend to gravitate toward you because you're grounded and often considered reliable—nobody can accuse you of blowing off an important event...or even ditching your weekly workout with the girls.
Oval or Round:
You're a diplomat or peacekeeper (not the ones in Hunger Games, mind you), and try to avoid conflict at all cost. Some might say you're a bit of a push-over, but we say you're just really good at seeing things from everyone's point of view before making a decision. You're a pro at diffusing tense situations, and likely find time in your day to meditate, as you know how beneficial it can be.
Triangle:
If you've ever doubted your ability to lead a team, well, stop that right now. You're really good at recognizing talent in others, and can foster that talent to create a productive, nurturing work environment. Take a closer look at your upper lip, too—if it's fuller than the bottom, you're also a great listener. More fullness on the bottom means you tend to be very generous and give back to the community.
Wavy:
Your lip print doesn't fit into one particular shape, which speaks volumes about your creativity. You love to think outside the box, and aren't afraid to try something crazy on the off-chance it just might succeed.
And then size (yep, it really does matter)...
If your print is small (1-1.75" wide, .75-1.06" high):
You're a very detail-oriented woman, and pay close attention to deadlines. You thrive on projects that require a close watch on budget (you may or may not secretly jump for joy when you come under it), and are careful when making any big-time decisions.
If your print is medium-sized (1.75-2.25" wide, .875-1.75" high):
Hey there, busy lady! You love having a million balls to juggle, and are a pro at keeping each one in the air. Multitasking might as well be your middle name, so you may feel a little lost when there aren't a lot of things to tackle on your to-do list.
If your print is large (2.25-3" wide, 1.5-3" high):
Go big or go home is your life motto. If you can't do it right the first time, you don't want to do it at all. Throwing big events or taking the lead on a noteworthy project at work excites you, as you like to give the proper care and attention large-scale commitments require.
If your top lip is fuller than the bottom:
You're a great listener, but don't have time for long-winded rants or explanations—you'd rather just get to the point and find a solution quickly. And if you notice fine, white lines appearing on your upper lip and trickling down vertically, then take note—those are called spirit lines, and they signal a strong spiritual side or a feeling of personal connection to something "bigger" than yourself.
If your bottom lip is fuller than the top:
Generosity is your middle name, and it's not just about financially giving for you—sharing your ideas, thoughts, skills, and resources is just as important.Oh, and pay attention to those little white lines you took note of before—they can also signal stress. If they trickle horizontally (rather than vertically) from the center of the lower lip and travel outward, then you're likely dealing with a lot of stress (same goes for a dark outline around your lips. If you see it, you're overwhelmed and need to slow down before taking on more work).
The good news is that it's stress you can control, so sit back and evaluate the best steps you can take toward finding a solution. If those same horizontal lines are appearing on your upper lip though, take a deep breath. That's stress you don't have a lot of control over, so there may be something happening that you need to work on worrying about less.

Designed to be sandwiched between a V-Mount camera and battery or mounted on a V-Dock, the MD-NBV, has five (5) D-Taps and allows you to power accessories such as onboard monitors, lights, wireless receivers, media recorders, signal converters, etc. Max draw from each D-Tap is 24W/2A (each D-Tap independently fused), and total Max draw is 120W/10A.
The P-V2 V-Mount adaptor plate converts most cameras to a V-Mount battery interface. Multiple mounting holes fit virtually all professional video cameras as well as many manufacturers' monitors, hard drives, test instruments and more. The P-V2 has a 2 pin D-Tap on the side for powering an on-board camera light or accessories. As part of IDX's Dig-View feature, digital battery data from the ELITE and E-HL9 can be transferred through the P-V2 to viewfinders of compatible cameras.
As a variation of the popular P-V2 Plate series, the P-V212 provides to the 12VDC output and includes dual D-Taps – one positioned on each side: one 2-Pin D-Tap for regulated 12VDC output and a second D-Tap for unregulated battery throughput (lights, HDD recorder, etc.).


Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia. It takes a devastating toll on patients and family members, who are usually the caregivers. Current drugs only treat symptoms of AD, not its causes.
FIU researchers are studying a new approach to treating Alzheimer's using nanotechnology aimed at reducing the inflammation in the brain.
"Current drugs affect neuro-transmitters in the brain. However, inflammation is still clearly present in patients with AD—and seems to be a root cause," says Madhavan Nair, associate dean for biomedical research and vice president for nanotechnology at Herbert Wertheim College of Medicine.
According to the Alzheimer's Association, more than 5 million Americans are living with Alzheimer's; someone in the U.S. develops the disease every 66 seconds; and it is the 6th leading cause of death in the United States – killing more people than breast cancer and prostate cancer combined. June is Alzheimer's and Brain Awareness Month.
Nair and his team will target brain cells called microglia and will use his FIU patented MENs (magneto electric nanoparticles) carrier system for the specific delivery and sustained release of two anti-inflammatory drugs, Withaferin A and CRID3, into those cells.
"We are hoping that this will inhibit the neuroinflammatory response in microglia and thus help to improve cognitive function in AD patients," Nair says. The study is funded by a $224,643 grant from the Florida Department of Health.
Although scientists are not sure what causes cell death and tissue loss in the Alzheimer's brain, they suspect plaques and tangles are to blame. The plaques form when protein pieces called beta-amyloid clump together between nerve cells (neurons) in the brain. Investigators in Nair's lab are using sophisticated technology –bioinformatic tools and 3-D structure of beta-amyloid – to find the binding site of these anti-inflammatory drugs on beta-amyloid.
These studies could translate into new therapies in the treatment of Alzheimer's.

Hot on the heels of their 2015 Sydney Festival hit PUNCTURE, FORM Dance Projects and Sydney Festival present the world-premiere of CHAMPIONS, a genre-defying new Australian dance work, directed by choreographer Martin del Amo.
CHAMPIONS features an all-female dream team of 11 contemporary dancers in an epic, adrenaline-fuelled choreographic match. Drawing surprising parallels between football and contemporary dance, the piece reveals unexpected insights into the fundamentals of athletic and artistic performance.
Choreographic inspiration for CHAMPIONS has been derived from a highly physical set of soccer drills, tactics studies, pre-game warm up rituals, on-field victory dances and the performative experience of triumph and defeat.
Under the direction of Martin del Amo, one of Australia's most innovative independent choreographers, CHAMPIONS celebrates the talents of elite performers and harnesses the energy and enthusiasm of sport fans. The production also combines pre-show analysis, backstage interviews and running commentary from Channel Seven sports presenter, Mel McLaughlin.
As part of their research for the work, del Amo and the dancers attended a series of training sessions with The Western Sydney Wanderers W-League and consulted with coaches, physiotherapists and athletes. Regular training sessions were held by footballer and performer, Ahilan Ratnamohan, to fuel a strongly football-inspired movement vocabulary.
The powerful all-female cast of CHAMPIONS challenges long-held expectations of who qualifies as dance/sports 'champions' in a culture that underpays and generally under-appreciates, the achievements of female performers both in sports and in the arts.
Del Amo and the dancers are joined in the creation of this this large-scale dance work by an impressive team of artistic collaborators, all of whom are acclaimed in their respective fields.
CHAMPIONS is testament to the adventurous, risk-taking and open-minded approach to collaboration that characterises the independent dance sector making work in Australia today. It promises audiences an exciting, unusual and ultimately unforgettable, viewing experience.

Henry Schein Now Accepting Applications For The Third Annual Henry Schein Cares Medal
by Henry Schein Inc.
Henry Schein, Inc. (Nasdaq: HSIC) announced today that it is accepting applications for the third annual Henry Schein Cares Medal program. The program recognizes organizations from the fields of oral health, animal health, and medicine that demonstrate excellence in expanding access to care for the underserved. The application deadline is midnight Eastern time on October 5, 2017.
The Henry Schein Cares Medal is an initiative of Henry Schein Cares, the company's global corporate social responsibility program. Through Henry Schein Cares, the company uses its resources to support health care professionals around the world who provide care for those who would otherwise receive little or no medical attention.
"We are pleased to accept applications for the third annual Henry Schein Cares Medal program so that we may share the stories and celebrate the work of the people and organizations whose commitment to expanding access to care so closely mirrors our own," said Stanley M. Bergman, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Henry Schein. "The positive impact each applicant has on its community should serve as an example for others to emulate, and strengthens Team Schein's resolve to 'help health happen' across the U.S. and around the world."
A panel of expert judges from the medical, philanthropy, social entrepreneurship, and business sectors will select three finalists among applicants from the fields of oral health, animal health, and medicine. In each category, a gold, silver, and bronze medalist will be chosen. Each medalist will receive a cash award, in the following amounts: $15,000 for gold, $10,000 for silver, and $5,000 for bronze, through the support of the Henry Schein Cares Foundation, Inc. In addition to the cash awards, each finalist will receive $10,000 worth of product from Henry Schein, Inc.
"We at Henry Schein understand that public health is better protected when those who care for underserved and at-risk communities receive the support they need to fulfill their mission," said Jennifer Kim Field, Vice President, Corporate Social Responsibility for Henry Schein, and Executive Director, Henry Schein Cares Foundation. "Henry Schein and the Henry Schein Cares Foundation have long championed care providers who dedicate their time and talent to helping others, and we believe the financial grant and product donation each Henry Schein Cares Medal winner receives will enhance their ability to deliver high-quality medical treatment to the people and animals who need it most."
To be considered a candidate for this award, applicants must be a nonprofit organization or trust that is tax-exempt under IRS Section 501(c)(3) and that is a public charity. The applicant should demonstrate that the program has expanded access to health care for the underserved in a novel and innovative way that is measurable and quantifiable. For the oral health and medical categories, emphasis will be placed on expanding access to health care for children (birth to age 18), although all efforts to expand access to care will be considered.
Programs also should:
involve an established multi-disciplinary team that demonstrates the expertise needed for a comprehensive solution to expand access to care;
demonstrate potential for replication and large-scale impact; and
include a business plan or demonstration of financial sustainability.

Q: Laravel filesystem get file URL directly after upload Is there a way to get the path of the file you uploaded directly after you upload it so you won't have to write the whole URL in the response, my approach is certainly not correct because what if in the future we might want to save in another filesystem disk which is not in storage, i want to return the specific URL.

Snowball's Chance is a wildly scathing, landmark novel by New York author John Reed. Written in lower Manhattan, near Ground Zero, in the three weeks following September 11, Reed's story is surprisingly populated, not by Americans and Islamists, but by a motley array of farm and woodland animals who act out American history and its fallout. Reed's novel addresses the events of last year concisely and precisely to target the follies of today's entrepreneurs and religionists alike.
George Orwell's Animal Farm told a wry and sardonic fable of communism in a dystopic collective farm. Snowball's Chance parodies Orwell by firing a broadside at the casino economy and the culture of the good life. In a brilliantly conceived and executed riposte to the marketplace's unthinking cheerleaders, Reed's Snowball, the Pig ousted from the Animal Farm for rationality, returns to bring marketeering to the farm.
At first Snowball's regime prospers: heated stalls, running water, and a window for each animal. The farm moves away from its agricultural roots as Snowball and his team of educated Goats recreate Animal Farm as Animal Fair, replete with citizen performers and criminal sideshows.
With clarity, style, and humor, Reed takes on the legacy of Orwell's famous novel and the boardrooms of the transnational corporations. In doing so he spins a book that is witty, readable, and better targeted than a "precision" bomb. Continuing a tradition which extends from Aesop to Art Spiegelman, Snowball's Chance uses a playful fiction to ask very serious and often dangerous questions.


You have just ordered a box of delicious pizza, topped with cheese, pepperoni, bacon, and olives, and as your cat is greedily prying at your food, it might strike you whether to pamper it or not with it. Well to your disappointment, the answer this time is a NO, as the various ingredients present in pizza is said harmful to your cat. Though a tiny morsel would not affect your cat at the very instant, it is still better to avoid it entirely as it will do no good to it.
Garlic and onion which form the main ingredients of pizza, as well as its sauce, are considered toxic to cats, resulting in immense damage.
The several toppings that pizza comes along with like pepperoni and sausage is high in salt, which in turn is harmful to felines, also resulting in sodium toxicity when consumed in excess amounts.
Its high cheese content may hurt the digestive system of cats, particularly those that are lactose intolerant.
The bread or crusts of pizza are also not good enough since they are made up of yeast and even high in carbohydrates, is difficult for your kitty to digest.
If your cat shows any abnormal symptoms after having even a little bit of pizza, do not delay in taking it to a veterinarian.

Magnus Abe: When Osinbajo was announced as APC vice presidential candidate, Amaechi went into shock and doctor had to treat him
My attention has been drawn to an interview granted by the minister of transportation, Rt Hon Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi. In the interview widely publicized by the daily post and several online media houses. In the said interview the minister was said to have among issues raised therein described me as a "betrayer and an ingrate."
Nigerians are aware that Mr. Amaechi has been calling me names for the past two years and in keeping with my personal values and upbringing, I have refrained from joining issues with him in the public domain. However, it has become imperative that I set the records straight on the issues raised by the minister so that Nigerians will know the truth.
First, the minister said the justice of the case today demands that the Riverine part of the state should produce the governor.
Let me again place on record that it was the same Amaechi who called the entire leadership of the Ogoni nation to several meetings to promise the Ogoni people the same Governorship for the same the same reason . All spectrum of the Ogoni including the supreme council of Ogoni traditional rulers, Mosop, Kagote, the church leaders council, the Academia are all aware of the Minister's commitment. He has told the Ogoni people on several occasions that they were the poorest and most marginalised group in Rivers state.
He said the reason they have never gotten the governorship position is because they have never succeeded in making enough noise.
He held closed door meetings with Ogoni leaders and made these promises more than four times during his tenure.
When he changed his mind on what justice in Rivers state demands, he simply moved on to hold the same kind of meeting and make the same promise to the Riverine people.
The minister asked if I am popular why did I go to court? My response is that I learnt from the case of _*Rotimi Amaechi Vs INEC*_ that when the rich and powerful, those who have absolute control of the party machinery, are after you it is only the courts that can help you. So I simply followed in Amaechi's footsteps. If that meant he was not popular, then that is what it still means today.
Mr. Amaechi said I fell ill when he picked Dakuku over me in 2015 I should answer honestly that I did not fall ill. Indeed Mr. Amaechi himself will recollect that Rivers youths almost set the Government house on fire, and that I came out to address them and went on air to appeal for calm. He can also remember that I arranged a meeting of Ogoni leaders who met with him in the aftermath of that decision. No doctor attended to me.
But he will also remember that when Prof. Osinbajo was announced as vice presidential candidate of the APC, he went into shock and a doctor had to be brought in to treat him. He was placed on drip all night to stabilise him. That was why he assumed that I would have also require medication. We all react differently to shock.
I am glad that Amaechi can still remember that myself and Wike attended meetings with him in an effort to support him to be governor. Whatever transpired between him and Dr Odili, I am glad Dr. Odili is still alive and he is in a better position than myself to discuss Mr. Amaechi's loyalty.
But let me remind Mr Amaechi that he is not to me what Dr. Odili was to him. I have never been on Mr. Amaechi's personal staff. I have never lived in his boys quarters. Our political partnership started in the house of Assembly to which I sponsored myself and Dr. Odili sponsored him. So I do not owe him the kind of loyalty that he owes Dr. Odili. How well he discharged that loyalty in the face of power is between him, Dr. Odili and God.
Lastly, let me repeat once again, that I was elected minority leader of the Rivers State house of Assembly by members of the minority caucus of the house. I was appointed commissioner of information by Dr. Peter Odili. Dr Odili himself called me after my appointment and told me in the presence of two witnesses ( the then deputy Governor and the SSG) that my appointment was one he made by himself out of conviction that I would do well and he was not influenced by anyone in giving me that appointment.
Yes, the Minister as Governor appointed me as SSG and supported me to go to the senate. I thank him for the privilege, but I did not lobby for the job, and served with total commitment, and discharged my responsibilities faithfully and to the best of my ability.
I never went to the Minister sobbing for NDDC Job, and he knows that talk of me and the Governorship predates and postdates NDDC
Most importantly none of this was done on the precondition that I would not attempt to be governor.
I really must appeal to the minister to take it easy. All is too transient in life to habour so much pettiness and hatred.
Nigeria is a democracy and I have a constitutional right to aspire to a position for which to the best of my knowledge he is not in contention.
The APC is not a personal estate of anyone, it is a political party and I am playing by the rules. He should try to understand the rules so we can play together.

The common stereotype that older workers are less productive than their younger colleagues is a complete myth, new research has found.
A review of published research carried out by Essex Business School at the University of Essex on behalf of the charity Age UK found little evidence to back up engrained stereotypes of older workers when it came to productivity, health, commitment or flexibility.
While many employers viewed older workers as being less productive than their younger counterparts, older workers emerged as being just as motivated and willing to work flexibly as younger colleagues.
In fact, she said, older people are often faster at carrying out complex tasks that allow them to draw on their contextual knowledge and years of work experience. While bottom line speed may deteriorate, the overall efficacy of older people offsets any impact to productivity.
The findings are borne out by two separate studies of car manufacturers in German - the country with the largest ageing population in Europe, where four out of 10 workers are aged between 60 and 64.
Older workers at Mercedes Benz were found to be more productive and make fewer errors than younger workers, while BMW found that its 'Today for Tomorrow' programme, which set up a production line staffed entirely by older workers, improved productivity by seven per cent over the first year, matching that staffed only by younger workers.
The number of people aged between 50 and 64 in employment in the UK has increased by nearly two million over the past 15 years, while the number over the retirement age of 65 is approaching one million. Meanwhile, the proportion of Americans aged 65 and older in the workforce rose from 12 per cent in 1990 to 16 per cent in 2010.
However in one regard, at least, older workers are at a disadvantage. According to a separate study by Canada Life Group Insurance, workers in their early 50s are at a much higher risk of succumbing to excessive stress and weight gain, with four out of 10 of those aged between 51 and 55 believing that they have experienced illness as a direct result of work-related stress.

Dr. Elaine's desire as an author is to make a difference in the world and in the lives and relationships of those who read her books, her articles, or use her iPhone app Baby Massage Basics, so all families will thrive, not merely survive. She envisions a world where all children are nurtured and loved, and securely attached, in a joyful household, where trust is established within a loving, supportive home, so the first relationship that is developed lays the foundation for all relationships that follow.
Our children live in a quick-paced society where taking a moment to be with oneself, and not with a tablet or a smart phone, is not the norm. Education should touch the whole child, not merely the 3 r's – reading, writing, and arithmetic. Scientific research has shown that when a child is in a quiet alert state, learning occurs most readily. 7 Strategies for Raising Calm, Inspired, & Successful Children combines the knowledge of neuroscience with a smorgasbord of fun, easy, relaxing, tension-reducing and awareness-building activities that can be done on a daily basis.
Goals will be easier to achieve and success realized when a child can breathe away tension, laugh away hurt, dance away upset, touch away disconnect, affirm to believe, and be mindful to observe, attend to patterns of thoughts, feelings, sensations, and act from awareness.
What's more, parents, caregivers, and educators will benefit by using these strategies for their own well-being too.
