In 1980 Oliviero Tognoli, an Aluminium and Steel industrialist, approached 5 or 6 financial service banks in Switzerland with the prospect of moving cash from the United States to Switzerland. This money was allegedly from the proceeds of aluminium and steel sales in the USA. He elicited the services of many Swiss bankers for this exercise, including Enrico Rossini, who owned a company called Traex SA Financial and Broker Services. Traex was on the same floor as Consultfin, the company Palazzolo was approached to be Chairman of in 1981. In the Pizza Connection, Tognoli knew all the players.

By U3A Calpe on	 5th February 2018 Peter's Curious Corner
Perhaps we're older than we think.
The recent discovery in Israel of a fossilized jawbone has been accepted as undoubtedly Homo Sapiens, but its age at about 180,000 years old has astonished the experts, because this is some 80,000 years earlier than previous evidence suggested for our journey out of Africa. This date is also being suggested by recent research into the mitochondrial evidence of the cells of DNA from people all over the world.
What a dilemma!
Three years ago, two Indian women from the State of Assam, one Hindu, one Muslim, gave birth in the same hospital to boys at exactly the same time. Each was given to the wrong mother. Despite doubts at the time hospital authorities refused to accept the mistake. Now a privately made DNA test confirms the mothers' doubts. Only one problem. The three-year-old boys have bonded with their 'parents', their environment and religion and do not want to leave them. The decision by both families to accept this must have been very difficult. Was it the right one?
Two minutes to midnight – a good title for a novel?
Not so. They are the hands of the "Domesday Clock" which tells us how near we are to the apocalypse that will bring about the end of the world. They have not been so close to Midnight since the first H bomb tests in the 60's'
Water under the bridge?
A huge waterspout, a phenomenon rarely seen in Britain was observed recently off the Dorset coast.
You think it's been cold in the UK this winter?
Parts of New Hampshire (USA) have experienced temperatures as low as minus 34 degrees. Photographs show boiling water poured from a kettle immediately turned to snow.
Keep on looking!
A large 'diamond' ring, assumed to be costume jewellery, was bought at a car boot sale in Isleworth for £10 thirty years ago and worn almost every day since. It has been identified as a 19th century 26 carat cushion shaped white diamond. Much to the astonishment of the owner Sotheby's valued it at £350,000. It subsequently exceeded this amount at auction.
All strung up!
Engineers at a small British Internet provider have successfully made a broadband connection over 6to7 feet using wet string soaked in salt. They admitted it had no commercial application.
Quite amazing!
Born at Leicester's Glenfield hospital last December, a baby with her heart on the outside of her body because she had no sternum to hold it in. Experts say that this is an extremely rare but not unknown occurrence. The first operation of this kind in the UK was successfully carried out.
Rasputin would have liked this one!
Don't hold your breath, but Haemophilia which has devastated several Royal Families over the years may soon be a thing of the past. It may soon be possible, using the latest gene therapy, to eliminate the specific gene responsible from all known current carriers.
Einstein proved right, again.
On August 17th last year, Astronomers detected the flash of a huge burst of gamma rays which they eventually traced to the merger of two neutron stars, (stars formed by the collapse of extremely dense and massive stars), their source 130 million light years away across our galaxy. But it was a red-letter day for the followers of Albert Einstein who had predicted years ago that these rare events should produce gravitational waves or ripples in the fabric of spacetime. These ripples were detected for the first time. It was also possible to analyse the spectrum of the gamma rays, indicating the presence of iron, gold and other heavy metals, indicating that our own Periodic Table may be common throughout the Universe.

NBER Report: The American Dream Is Dead
By Kristin Caliendo | Friday, 31 January 2014 07:26 AM
The place in which you live may be killing the American Dream, according to a new study by the National Bureau of Economic Research, suggesting that America may not be the land of opportunity.
Inequality is inhibiting the opportunity for upward mobility in the United States particularly in communities in the South.
On average, a 10 percentile increase in parent income is associated with a 3.4 percentile increase in a child's income
Editor's Note: Secret '250% Calendar' Exposed — Free Video
However, the probability that a child reaches the top 20 percent of the national income distribution from a family in the bottom 20 percent varies from 4.4 percent in Charlotte, N.C., to 12.9 percent in San Jose, Calif.
The researchers found that the mobility gap cannot be attributed to local tax and spending decisions, local school quality or local area colleges and tuition. Labor markets also didn't matter.
Instead, the mobility gap is influenced on five pertinent factors:
1.	Race. Less upward mobility happens to occur in densely black populations, the researchers note. It is a rich-poor issue rather than a black-white issue, as children of all races from areas with large black populations have less upward mobility.
2.	Segregation. The researchers found that upward mobility is hurt by racial segregation, income segregation and sprawl. Higher-income people are less willing to invest in things like public transportation, which tend to isolate the poor from opportunities such as good schools and jobs. The lack of transportation keeps the poor yet another step away from the American Dream and getting out of impoverished areas.
3.	Social Capital. Chances for upward mobility increase when living around the middle class, as strong networks of better jobs, schools, religious groups and civic groups provide Americans a safety net. Strong religious beliefs are very strongly positively correlated with upward mobility, while crime rates are negatively correlated with mobility.
4.	Inequality. The top 1 percent getting even richer didn't have an effect on the bottom 99 percent, according to the study. The bigger the gap, the less mobility within the 99 percent. The smaller the gap, the more mobility.
5.	Family Structure. The study suggests that of all the factors, family structure is the most important for upward mobility. Upward mobility is more likely in committed, two-parent households.
According to The Atlantic, Americans living in San Jose, Salt Lake City and Pittsburg are living out the dream, but the dream has failed to include those living in Atlanta, Raleigh, N.C., Charlotte, Indianapolis, Detroit and Jacksonville, Fla., who are "licked before they can begin."
America needs to take a closer look at countries such as Denmark, Finland and Sweden, as the American Dream is alive and well overseas.
"There are more neighborhoods where poverty is more concentrated and wealth is more concentrated," Patrick Sharkey, a sociology professor at New York University who helped lead the study, tells Reuters.
When considering the power of American cities, Sharkey notes, "it's a trend that makes us think that cities will become less of an engine for economic mobility if they keep trending toward a scenario where the rich live in separate communities from the poor."

To avoid confusion it is usually best to wait and amend a return after the IRS and/or State has accepted the original return and you have received your refund, if applicable.
First, PRINT a copy of the originally filed return (both Federal and State, if applicable); this will be your only record of the return as it was filed once you make the corrections for the amendment. This can be done in the Online return by clicking the My Return button in the top right corner, choosing Print Center and then clicking Return in the window that appears. Choose the number of copies you want and click the blue Print button. Desktop users click File, Print Return and make the appropriate selection in the window that appears. If this is a new return (i.e. you did not originally file through TaxAct from this account), first enter the information so the return mirrors what is shown on your originally filed, printed copy and then follow the steps below to complete the amended return.
Return to the Q&A interview and modify/add/delete the information that needs amending. Keep in mind that items adjusted on the Federal return may automatically transfer information to the State return. Make a note of each item you are changing and the reason for each change as you will need these notes to complete Form 1040X.
NOTE: Amendments can not be completed on smaller devices, like a tablet.
From within your TaxAct return (Online or Desktop), click on the Filing tab.
The program will proceed with the interview questions for you to complete the amended return. You may have already completed those steps listed to print the return and modify/add/delete information if you have followed all of the instructions at the start of this email. At the end of the process you will be prompted to print Form 1040X, and the mailing address for the form will be provided.
If you receive an error when accessing Amend Federal Return that states you must first complete the filing steps prior to amending the return, go to the Filing tab and click Print Return. You will need to go all the way through this process until it actually prints the return (you do not need to print on paper, just clicking to view it is sufficient). Once you do this, you can go back to the Filing tab and click Amend Federal Return to continue.
The amended return, Form 1040X, will need to be printed when completed and mailed to the IRS. Attach any accompanying documents that may be required. These would be any forms created in the return due to the changes made, or any documentation that would support the changes made (e.g. corrected W-2 form). Amended returns cannot be e-filed.
From within your TaxAct return (Online or Desktop), click on the State tab and then click the name of the state on the left side of the screen, directly below the Basic Info tab.
Click Amended Return and the program will proceed with the interview questions for you to complete the amended return. Note: If you do not see the Amended Return option listed on the first screen, please choose Miscellaneous Topics as it may be located under that section. You may have already completed those steps listed to print the return and modify/add/delete information if you have followed all of the instructions at the start of this email.
With most states, at the end of the process you will be prompted to print the amended form and will be provided with the mailing address to send the form. If you are not prompted to print your amended return, you will need to click on the Filing tab and proceed through the Mail Paper Return steps to print and mail your amended return.
To file the amended return, for most states you must mail a paper return. If the state allows electronic filing of the amended return, this option will be available in the filing steps. Note there will be a separate charge for electronically filing the amendment as it is a separate return.
For additional instructions and mailing addresses, please see the IRS Instructions for Form 1040X.
Normal processing time for Form 1040X is up to 16 weeks from the IRS receipt date. Please see Amended Tax Return FAQs for additional information.
You can track your Federal amended return using the IRS Where's My Amended Return? tool.
You may need to verify with your state whether amending the federal return necessitates that you also amend your state return. Click here for steps to Amend Your State Return.

BBC to hold "public showcase" of 4K Commonwealth Games coverage
By Pete Hayman 2014-06-26T10:13:46Z News
BBC Research and Development plans live broadcast of "certain elements" of the Games in 4K at Glasgow Science Centre
The World Cup had been expected to be the sporting event at which we found out if Ultra HD 4K TV would realise its potential, but now it seems the 2014 Commonwealth Games might take that honour instead.
In what could be a "watershed moment in the history of broadcasting", the BBC's R&D department will be broadcasting "certain elements" of the Games live in 4K to a public showcase in Glasgow.
MORE: Ultra HD 4K TV reviews, news and all you need to know
For the duration of the Commonwealth Games (23rd July to 3rd August), you'll be able to head along to Glasgow Science Centre and watch live coverage of the action in Ultra-High Definition.
The BBC has said there will also be a range of other demonstrations from partners and collaborators as part of the showcase, although further details are yet to be confirmed by the corporation.
Meanwhile, the BBC's Commonwealth Games UHD broadcast will become the first major event to be "produced and distributed entirely over Internet Protocol (IP) networks".
It will be delivered using an "initial version" of what BBC R&D believes will become the future system for broadcasting – taking advantage of the growing speed and availability of internet networks.
BBC R&D will be working in conjunction with a number of partners to ensure this system provides the necessary benefits to the TV industry and audiences at home, including new forms of content.
An "Augmented Video Player" is one example of this, where IP technologies allow greater production data and metadata to be sent with video/audio feeds, offering richer, more interactive content.

BBC R&D controller Matthew Postgate said: "We may well look back at this trial as a watershed moment in the history of broadcasting.
"By proving for the first time that complex events can be created and delivered completely over IP technology, we're opening up a world of possibilities to programme makers and the wider industry."
The news comes after the BBC revealed details of its trial Ultra HD 4K broadcasts from the World Cup in Brazil, using both digital terrestrial TV and IP to achieve an "end-to-end live UHD broadcast".
Meanwhile, Sony is providing some of the limited opportunities to catch the World Cup in 4K on these shores, with the screening of highlights packages at a number of retail stores nationwide.

I am just an amateur photographer with a camera, but persistence pays. It took me a long time to learn that often only every 50th photo turns out nicely. In the end, the effort is worth it. Here are some of my photos – a mixture of effort, patience and of course luck. Also check out my galleries at 500px.com/nilscordes.
Given that I am an entomologist, it's probably no surprise that the majority of my photos are of insects. Their world is just an incredible microcosm. My favorite lens for documenting it: Canon EF 100mm f2.8 L Macro IS.
Birds and mammals pose a particular challenge for me. Iit feels like I just can never get close enough to them to get a good shot. If I do, it turns out an impressive encounter. My favorite lens: Canon EF 70-200mm f4 L IS.
Life can be found anywhere, from a meadow to the big city. Colours, patterns, hidden stories – sometimes I think that any cheap snapshot is some kind of peek into nature's daily grind.

Doubts raised over Malcolm Turnbull's new home affairs ministry
By David Wroe and James Massola
Updated July 19, 2017 — 12.40am first published July 18, 2017 — 6.13pm

Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull's plan to create a home affairs ministry has met with mixed responses as experts welcomed strengthened oversight of intelligence agencies but questioned how much improvement to national security the changes will yield.
Mr Turnbull unveiled on Tuesday his long-awaited plans for the ministry (based on Britain's Home Office), which will be headed by Immigration Minister Peter Dutton and bring together ASIO, the Australian Federal Police, the Australian Border Force and other agencies.
Crucially, the attorney-general will continue to sign ASIO warrants under the new arrangements, allaying fears that protections for Australians under the rule of law could be eroded.
The major security agencies will also remain statutory bodies with legislation that ensures their independence.

Mr Turnbull said the announcement was the "result of years of planning and research", though there has been no formal review that has guided the proposal – the most significant aspect of which is that it merges domestic national security with border security.
Stressing the current system was working but improvements could be made, he said that "we need these reforms not because the system is broken but because our security environment is evolving quickly.
"It is becoming more complex, it is likely to remain so for the foreseeable future. We need a better structure to meet the challenge of the times. And that is why we're adopting a model which is closer to the British Home Office than the large-scale American Homeland Security Department," he said.
ASIO, the AFP and Border Force will all answer to Mr Dutton, but he will be supported by current Justice Minister Michael Keenan and a second junior minister who handles immigration.
Former Defence and ASIO head Dennis Richardson said ASIO should not be hindered by answering to the home affairs minister while still having warrants signed by the attorney-general. Credit:Andrew Meares
A 2015 government review into counter-terrorism arrangements dismissed a US-style "super-agency" but acknowledged a small, flexible co-ordinating ministry could provide leadership.
Mr Turnbull said the planned arrangement would be small enough to provide that role.
A separate review of the intelligence community by former Foreign Affairs head Michael L'Estrange, released on Tuesday, did not recommend a home affairs ministry, though Mr Turnbull said this had not been the review's job.
That review did recommend the creation of an Office of National Intelligence which would co-ordinate foreign intelligence gathering and would be a souped-up version of the current Office of National Assessments, which largely analyses foreign intelligence.
Mr Turnbull said the government would adopt that recommendation as well as strengthening the independence of the Australian Signals Directorate – the Defence Department's cyber spies – by making the organisation a separate statutory body.
Expert responses to the announcement varied from critical to cautiously optimistic but generally did not signal any great benefits to the home affairs arrangement.
Allan Gyngell, a former head of the Office of National Assessments and now a professor at the Australian National University, said a first assessment suggested "several positive dimensions including better co-ordination of foreign intelligence activities through an Office of National Intelligence and improvements to the way in which warrants are issued".
Regarding whether bringing agencies under the home affairs portfolio would improve co-ordination and policy direction on national security, Professor Gyngell said: "I sort of buy that. I don't think it's going to be transformative but it's a plausible way of addressing co-ordination gaps and so on."
Dennis Richardson, the recently retired head of the Defence Department who has previously headed ASIO, said merging Immigration with the domestic intelligence and security agencies "could give some marginal improvements in relation to what information immigration [officials] might bring".
He said ASIO should not be hindered by answering to the home affairs minister while still having warrants signed by the attorney-general.
Australian Strategic Policy Institute head Peter Jennings said that beyond terrorism, more co-ordination was needed in the areas of cyber-security, critical infrastructure and protection against foreign influence.
"There's a lot of work to do to get organisational details sorted," he said. "I think the government has to very quickly set out in a discussion paper the sort of strategic picture they have in mind for the home office. That's not really done with one press release."
Michael Wesley, an international security expert at ANU said: "So my question is: Where is the evidence that this would be an actual improvement?"
Nick O'Brien, a former counter-terrorism police chief now at Charles Sturt University, said: "I think we've been extraordinarily well served by our police and security agencies ... Why would you change a system that's worked so well?"
The changes are to be finalised by June 30, 2018 – subject to approval of the national security committee of cabinet – with Mr Dutton to work with Senator Brandis in bedding down the changes.

You can request a demo and see all the available instruments you can trade.
Normal dealing spreads can go even lower than 1 pip depending on market liquidity.
No Fees and Commissions are charged to customers who trade on the regular fixed spread or variable spread feeds. The ECN Premiere fee carries a $10 round turn commission per standard lot of 100,000 units of the underlying or base currency.
Minimum transaction size is 1,000 units of the base currency (that is, a micro lot). Customers can also trade mini lots (10,000 base currency units) or standard lots (100,000 base currency units) all in the same account. Minimum account size is US$250.
Clients have the ability to execute trades directly from real time streaming bid/ask quotes. Live prices are continuously published to clients via the trading platform MT4, and traders can at any time click on the current bid or offer and instantaneously execute a trade under normal market conditions. Prices are updated automatically as market conditions dictate. More importantly, we publish the same prices to the all our clients, which allows any client to deal on the available price for any given currency pair.
Executing a trade via the Internet is a simple two-step process. Simply enter the number of lots and then click on the bid (buy) or offer (sell) for the currency pair you wish to trade – your deal is automatically executed. The MetaTrader software automatically calculates the initial margin requirement based upon the notional amount of the deal, and if sufficient funds are available in your account, will accept the transaction. Deals are confirmed normally within one second, and the system instantaneously updates both your open position and calculates your current P&L.
An order with restrictions on the maximum price to be paid or the minimum price to be received.
If a trader is long USD/CHF at 1.4627, a limit order would be entered to sell dollars above that price, for example, at 1.4800.
Order type whereby an open position is automatically liquidated at a specific price. Often used to minimize exposure to losses if the market moves against a trader's position.
If the trader above is long USD at 1.4627, a stop loss order could be left at 1.4549, in case the dollar depreciates below 1.4549.
As a rule, sell stops are filled on our bid, and buy stops are filled on our offer price. This allows us to fill client stop orders at the rate they requested in almost every case. In the rare instance that the market gaps over a requested rate, the stop is filled at the best available price. This is an important point for traders who are accustomed to being filled on sell stops when the offer reaches the requested order rate. For example, if a stop order is placed to sell USD/CHF at 1.4549, the trader will be filled when the bid reaches 1.4549 (i.e. the bid/offer is 1.4549/54).
A contingent order providing that one part of the order is cancelled if the other part is executed. This is a particularly useful order type in that it allows traders to execute specific trading strategies based on technical analysis – without having to watch the market tick by tick.
As above, with the trader long USD/CHF at 1.4627, a typical OCO order would be a stop loss at 1.4562 and a limit (take profit) at 1.4700. If one part of the order is filled, the other is automatically cancelled.
Orders remain open until they are triggered or cancelled.
As a rule, sell stops are filled on our bid, and buy stops are filled on our offer. This allows us to fill client stop orders at the rate they requested in almost every case. In the rare instance that the market gaps over a requested rate, the stop is filled at the best available price. This is an important point for traders who are accustomed to being filled on sell stops when the offer reaches the requested order rate. For example, if a stop order is placed to sell USD/CHF at 1.4549, the trader will be filled when the bid reaches 1.4549 (i.e. the bid/offer is 1.4549/54).
All GTC orders remain open until they are triggered or cancelled.
Orders left pending at close of trading on Friday at 1700 ET or placed over the weekend are subject to a gap open on Sunday evening when trading at 1700 ET. For both stop loss and limit orders – if your order is triggered due to news, events or other fundamental factors, it will not be executed over the weekend. Your order WILL be executed at the prevailing price when the trading desk opens Sunday. Because of the additional gap risk involved, you may want to reconsider leaving open orders over the weekend.
The Initial Margin Requirement is 0.2%.
If you do not have adequate funds available to enter a new position, you will receive an "insufficient margin funds" message when attempting to deal.
If the Unrealized P&L of your net total open position falls below your account balance, your trading account is under margined and all your open positions may be liquidated. To avoid liquidation of your positions, do not use your entire account balance as margin for open positions. Instead, leave enough funds in your account to withstand a market movement against your open positions. We suggest you always use stop loss orders to limit your downside risk when trading.
Please contact us if you wish at any time to use a lower degree of leverage or otherwise adjust the margin settings in your account.
A rollover is the simultaneous closing of an open position for today's value date and the opening of the same position for the next day's value date at a price reflecting the interest rate differential between the two currencies.
All open positions are automatically rolled over to the next day's value date following the close of NY trading at 1700 ET.
Clients have the opportunity to earn interest on rollovers, depending on the direction of their positions and interest rate differential between the two currencies involved. For example, US interest rates are higher than Japan's, so if a trader is long USD/JPY (i.e. holding dollars), they will earn interest on the roll. Conversely, if a trader is short USD/JPY (i.e. holding yen) they will pay interest on the rollover.
The spot forex market is traded on a two-day value date. For example, for trades executed on Monday, the value date is Wednesday. However, if a position is opened on Monday and held overnight (remains open after 1700 ET), the value date is now Thursday. The exception is a position opened and held overnight on Wednesday. The normal value date would be Saturday; because banks are closed on Saturday the value date is actually the following Monday.

DNA damage is known to drive mutations and cell toxicity, both of which promote cancer and aging.

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) NIEHS Superfund Research Program (SRP) Center uncovered a mechanism that may explain how N-Nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) can lead to DNA damage and cancer in mice.
NDMA can contaminate drinking water from ineffective containment of chemical waste and is also produced as an unintended byproduct of certain wastewater treatment processes. NDMA can lead to DNA damage, such as structural changes or mutations, which can be repaired by the enzyme Alkyladenine DNA glycosylase (AAG).
The team, led by former MIT SRP trainee and 2020 Wetterhahn Award winner Jennifer Kay, Ph.D., discovered that mice with low levels of AAG had more DNA mutations and cancer when exposed to NDMA. However, in mice with high levels of AAG, NDMA exposure led to tissue damage and cell death in the liver.
The authors explained that both reduced and elevated levels of AAG had a significant impact on whether cells can survive DNA damage, and that AAG levels may tip the balance between susceptibility to cancer and tissue damage. They added that AAG levels may be a useful biological marker for susceptibility to NDMA-induced cancer and may inform precision medicine to treat cancer, but additional studies are needed to understand this mechanism.
The basic science from the MIT study sheds light on the mechanisms that may underpin the Massachusetts DPH findings.
In a report, released a few days after the MIT study was published, the Massachusetts Department of Public Health (DPH) found an association between NDMA exposure during pregnancy and development of childhood cancer. This report is an outcome of an investigation launched in the 1990s after a cluster of 22 children from Wilmington, Massachusetts, were diagnosed with cancer.
Wilmington is home to the Olin Chemical Superfund Site, which has over 20 million gallons of waste contaminated with NDMA that spreads underground and contaminates the public water supply of nearby communities. In 2017, in response to community concerns, the MIT SRP Center was founded with a focus on finding public health solutions to the problem of NDMA exposure.
The team, led by MIT SRP Center Director Bevin Engelward, Ph.D., and Community Engagement Core leader Kathleen Vandiver, Ph.D., is working closely with Wilmington residents to understand their needs and to translate their research findings into ways that will improve public health. For example, they are compiling a collection of videos that document the community's experience and the urgency to address NDMA contamination.
The MIT study and the Massachusetts DPH report were also featured in a recent NIEHS Environmental Factor article.


You face is suddenly looking a lot like a problem of Metaphysics, Kant.
The Ship of Theseus is a classic thought experiment about mereology (the study of how things relate to their parts). It asks if a ship were slowly replaced, part by part, until the entire ship were made of new planks, whether or not it would still be the same ship.


Description: While we were busy getting Android to parity with iOS, iOS kept moving ahead — so we did too!
The next big feature that we needed to add was the "Home" screen. The average ClassPass user checks their accounts an average of four times a day. We knew that we could help them get to what and where they needed faster and with less frustration. We also wanted to offer our users more customized content based on their previous behaviors.
Now when you open the app, and there's a class scheduled within the next 14 hours, we show a map and all the important info about the class on an "Upcoming" card. New features, like "Book it again", were added to make re-booking recent classes a snap. We also improved our "Recommended for you" class suggestions so they more closely aligned with where, when, and how people are working out. Having customized suggestions makes it a cinch to book directly from the Home screen cutting out unnecessary precious taps. We also updated the top level navigation, giving more prominence to Favorites and Profile, which were previously hidden in the old navigation. No more digging to find schedules from favorite studios. We also added sets of curated classes that are easily editable so we can add new lists at anytime.
There's no slowing Android down at this point!
For more details about the launch, check out the ClassPass blog.


DAVID LEE reminds you that a major conference is taking place today (Tuesday 24th) at the National Galleries of Scotland, The Mound, Edinburgh.
LIFE SCIENCES IN SCOTLAND: REALISING THE MANUFACTURING POTENTIAL will examine the challenges faced by Scotland's life sciences sector in turning research excellence into tangible economic benefits. Scotland's life sciences sector is recognised for its great track record in research and development (R&D) and in developing intellectual property. But it is weaker when it comes to getting products to the manufacturing stage.
Deputy First Minister John Swinney will address the issue of how manufacturing capacity can be strengthened in life sciences and other key economic sectors.
Peter Williamson will explain the key role of the NHS as a customer for life sciences products, while delegates will also hear how continuous manufacturing – making products "in a straight line" rather than in a series of different processes – could revolutionise life sciences manufacturing.
The event, sponsored by Irvine Bay Regeneration Company and chaired by Scott Johnstone of the Scottish Lifesciences Association, follows a more generic life sciences conference last year.
The conference begins at 8.30am and there is normally a delegate fee of £120.00+VAT. Contact 0131-311-7237.

Eat like a Hobbit at Thalia Hall's 'Lord of the Rings'-themed dinners and movie screenings
Zach Long
Posted: Friday February 23 2018, 5:19 PM
Have you ever dreamed about feasting like a Hobbit at an outdoor celebration in the Shire? If you can't afford a ticket to New Zealand to dine at a recreation of Hobbiton's Green Dragon Pub, you're in luck—Thalia Hall is hosting a series of screenings of the Lord of the Rings trilogy films that can be paired with a Middle Earth-inspired dinner menu. Beginning with The Fellowship of the Ring, Thalia Hall will screen one part of the trilogy each night from March 20 to 22 at 7pm—you can snag a ticket for the movie and purchase an optional dinner package to enjoy while you're watching Frodo's journey to Mount Doom.
Unlike the promotional Hobbit-themed menu that Denny's served, which included dishes like Bilbo's Breakfast Feast and Smaug's Fire Burger, Thalia Hall's interpretation of Lord of the Rings cuisine channels the utensil-free fare of a Medieval Times restaurant. The Middle Earth-Times tray will include a smoked turkey leg, potato soup, a "Lembas bread" baguette and a glass of Hopewell Brewing Company's Prancing Pony ale. Plus, the first 25 guests to purchase the dinner package each night will receive a commemorative Dusek's beer mug.
Tickets to each of the Lord of the Rings screenings are $5 and can be purchased via Thalia Hall's website. The dinner package (which includes food, a beer and a ticket to the movie) will cost you $30.
If you haven't rewatched Peter Jackson's classic trilogy recently, this series of dinners and movie screenings seems like a precious opportunity to spend a few hours with the Fellowship.

General Manager | Kampala Serena Hotel receives the Kampala Serena hotel award in Seychelles.
World Travel Awards 2015 — At the just concluded Africa & Indian Ocean Gala Ceremony, Kampala Serena Hotel was once again recognized out of five nominees as the overall winner of Uganda's Leading Hotels' category of the 2015 World Travel Awards.
Established in 1993 to recognize and reward outstanding achievements within the global travel industry, the World Travel Awards™ is the most prestigious, comprehensive and sought after awards programme in the global travel and tourism industry and so to be voted a World Travel Award™ winner for four years running is an accolade we are very PROUD of as a market leader in hotel services in Uganda.
Also taking home prizes were our sister properties; Lake Victoria Serena Resort for Uganda's Leading Suite, Nairobi Serena Hotel for Kenya's Leading Hotel 2015 and Kigali Serena Hotel for Rwanda's Leading Hotel 2015.
The winners at the World Travel Awards (WTA) Africa & Indian Ocean 2015 were unveiled at the Kempsinki Seychelles Resort Baie Lazare in a ceremony hosted by the former Miss Seychelles, Sherlyn Furneau and Presenter Galen Bresson.
The Seychelles Minister of Tourism & Culture Alain St Ange in his speech told the travel industry that it was time for Africa to stand together and be counted despite all the challenges that were facing the sector.
He also said that Africa's rich tourism products remain the world's admiration but regrettably, the continent was only able to net close to 5% of the travelers globally and so challenged the industry to showcase their best destinations.
While also urging the tourism stakeholders across the continent to work together in growing tourism business, the Kenyan Commerce and Tourism Principal Secretary Dr Ibrahim Mohammed added that Africa is our next frontier and this is the time for us as a continent to leverage on each other's strength, synergize on our varied expertise for the betterment of the sector.

The Big Moon, Portland Arms, Cambridge, 24 September 2017
There was a definite anticipation in the air for a sold-out gig on a warm Sunday evening at the Portland. It meant that the room was already full for the spirited support band Get Inuit, a four-piece from Kent combining mercurial lyrics with some stop-start rock. With a clear American surf-pop influence of three part harmonies and a good-time vibe they won the audience over immediately. The highlight was the catchy surrealism of 'All My Friends' (…all my friends are dead, their corpses lie in bed…) and the slowburn intro of 'Barbituates', soon kicking into some serious loud guitar pounding.
The Big Moon are riding high, flying the flag for guitar bands at the Mercury Prize with their sublime album 'Love In The 4th Dimension' nominated and a great performance of 'Cupid' at the award show. Taking the stage with a backdrop of a large blue moon, we knew we were in safe hands as soon as 'Silent Movie Susie' opened the set with its soundwall opening and that three-voice descending hookline. Songwriter Juliette Jackson has put together a set of songs that seem to breathe new life into the basic guitar-band formula in a similar way to the first Franz Ferdinand album.
In a live situation the relaxed onstage chemistry between the four players extends out into the audience and we all share in the good times. There were new songs never played before, a bonkers cover of 'Total Eclipse Of The Heart' and Fern Ford had the difficult task of swapping between drums and the occasional atmospheric keyboards, all adding depth and resonance to the show.
The final one word titled 'tetralogy(?)' of 'Cupid', 'Formidable', 'Bonfire' (complete with an invasion into the crowd..) and 'Sucker' rounded it all off in style. A great night, I think it will not be in the intimate surroundings of the Portland the next time The Big Moon come to town….

Destructive money circulation companies are certainly difficult to sell and a franchise is much more so. Typically we have to tell individuals their best choice might be an organized closing.

New Trump stimulus idea: A payroll tax cut?
AllahpunditPosted at 4:01 pm on August 20, 2019
I laughed when I got to the part of this Times story where "Administration officials said the idea had not been pushed with Mr. Trump and tried to tamp talk of it down." I can just imagine how the chatter about a payroll tax cut got started in the Oval Office:
"If Powell doesn't cut rates and we end up in a recession, I'm finished next year. We need a stimulus! Gimme ideas, now."
"We've already cut income taxes, Mr. President. There's always the payroll tax, I guess, but—"
"Payroll tax! Great idea. Let's start pushing cuts."
"No, wait. There are like eight different reasons why Pelosi would never–"
"Payroll tax cuts!"
Too late!
President Trump on working to solve economic concerns: "Payroll tax is something that we think about and a lot of people would like to see that" https://t.co/LKwvtZnflM pic.twitter.com/aHbjgX3q0x
— CNN Politics (@CNNPolitics) August 20, 2019
Why would Trump's advisors be more cautious than he is in advertising a payroll tax cut proposal? For the simple reason that (a) Pelosi won't lift a finger to help Trump goose the economy, knowing how that would help him in 2020, and, more importantly, (b) she can actually turn this around on Trump and use it as leverage to showcase unpopular parts of the GOP's own agenda. Presumably POTUS understands the first point and thinks that he can use Pelosi's refusal as electoral fodder against the Dems: "We proposed a tax cut that would directly benefit the middle class, not the rich. Democrats normally love the idea of cutting the payroll tax. But Pelosi turned us down because she doesn't care about you!" And it's true, incidentally, that Democrats typically prefer cutting the payroll tax to cutting income taxes since the payroll tax is regressive. In a vacuum, they'd be interested in this idea.
But we're not in a vacuum, we're 14 months out from an election in which Trump's chances rest almost entirely on the pillar of economic growth. If that pillar starts to crumble, Nancy Pelosi isn't racing in to reinforce it with a payroll tax stimulus. And, contra Trump's suspicions, I don't think it'd be easy to scapegoat her for refusing either. She'd have a salable argument against cutting payroll taxes, namely, that doing so would increase the risk that entitlements will be underfunded. We must save Social Security and Medicare! Then she'd go on offense, using Trump's payroll tax proposal to refocus public attention on the less progressive tax initiatives the White House has championed in the past. Rick Newman sees it coming:
Pelosi and her fellow Dems would probably embrace the idea of a payroll tax—then ask Trump for a bunch of concessions he couldn't possibly agree to. In exchange for Trump's payroll tax, Democrats would need to show their own political base they got something to help their own election odds in 2020. What might that be?
They could agree to a payroll tax cut in exchange for rolling back the 2017 tax cuts for businesses and the wealthy. Or they could ask for a more aggressive estate tax and use the money raised to fund social programs. Or they could insist that the $10,000 cap on the deductibility of state and local income taxes, which hit Democratic states harder than Republican ones, be repealed. They could ask for all of those things.
Trump would say no to all of that, of course. The point here is to stimulate the economy by putting more money into the hands of taxpayers to spend, he'd note, not to take it out of the hands of the rich and deposit it into the Treasury. Nonetheless, lefties would use the debate to revisit all sorts of unpleasant trivia about the 2017 tax cuts that undercut Trump's populist image:
If Trump wanted a 2020-friendly tax cut that disproportionately boosted middle and lower incomes, that was a viable option. Instead average tax cut for the bottom 20% of earners was $40, next 20% was $320, and $780 for the middle 20%. The top 1% got $32k. https://t.co/G1U5DF5IqK
— Benjy Sarlin (@BenjySarlin) August 20, 2019
Not only would Trump not end up getting his payroll tax cut, he'd end up with a snoutful of damaging Democratic messaging on tax policy for his trouble. Even if, against all odds, he managed to work something out with Pelosi, there's no guarantee that he wouldn't change his mind halfway through negotiations after Hannity or whoever started complaining loudly about the concessions he made to get a deal. And if that happened, with Trump walking away from a deal suddenly, Pelosi would then be able to argue that he's the one ultimately who didn't care enough about the middle class to make payroll tax cuts happen, not her.
His advisors see all of this coming from a mile away, which is why they're eager to tell reporters that this idea isn't seriously being pushed. Trump himself seems less concerned.
I wonder how he would react if Pelosi offered him a payroll tax cut in exchange for universal background checks on gun purchases. That'd be hugely risky on her part since both prongs of that deal would be very popular; if Trump agreed, he'd get a double shot of goodwill from the electorate, making it a huge miscalculation by Dems. The gamble on her part would be that he's too afraid of disappointing his most populist fans on gun rights to agree to a deal like that and thus would rule out a measure that enjoys 90 percent popularity across the country. If/when he did, Pelosi would have a double whammy to use against him: "We were willing to work with the president to help the middle class but apparently he cares more about letting people buy guns without accountability than he does about putting money back in the pockets of the middle class." Here he is this afternoon sounding more skeptical about expanding background checks after sounding much more enthusiastic two weeks ago.

Day 7 #HAWMC
November 7, 2016 by Editor
How did you choose to start advocating for breast cancer?
I don't remember ever making a conscious decision to become an advocate; it's something that has evolved over time. I think for many of us who have assumed this role the trigger is something that has happened to us or someone we love – something which we want to change and make better. Our advocacy evolves at the moment when it is no longer about us, but also about all of those who are affected in the same way.
For me, my advocacy was born in the moment when I realised that fertility preservation should have been on the agenda with my oncology team. The decision to initiate fertility preservation must be made quickly before cancer treatment begins. The sense of urgency, the stress of the cancer diagnosis, and insufficient support and information meant I didn't feel I had time to explore my fertility options before treatment began. This ultimately had a negative effect on my emotional and psychological healing from cancer.
While it was too late for me to do something to preserve my own fertility, it wasn't too late for other young women. I started to speak at events, write articles, and talk to whomever would listen that this was an issue that all young women with a diagnosis of breast cancer should be informed about. I co-authored a booklet on Breast Cancer and Fertility to provide patients with the information and support they need to make informed decisions about their reproductive choices when facing a diagnosis of breast cancer. All these many years later, I still can't believe there is a need to continue this advocacy. While it's improved for some, there is still no co-ordinated plan for discussing fertility and providing options for young women in Ireland. That makes me sad and angry, and so my advocacy continues.
How about you? What started you on your own advocacy journey?

It really wasn't a decision. I was new in this state,recovering from spine surgery, far from my beloved CA doctors. My best friend in central CA had died of breast cancer.
The doctor on the phone seemed to be laughing at something perhaps heard before I answered. Her laughing voice said: There was cancer. She told me to go to a certain surgeon "We use him all the time." It wasn't my idea of a good reason, but I went.
I fed all my scared hours into the laptop. Then there were a few good hours to feed in: A couple of wonderful radiation therapists who were like pals to me, a woman in a crowded waiting room who looked at my paper work and said: You got the GOOD doctor. I wanted good things for people who had a less encouraging experience.
I found someone to confide in–two someones, really. And along the way I re-learned a fascination with the medical world that started in high school, was revived working for CAP, and nourished by digging into research. Now, mornings like this when I wake up with so much more to write, I feel alive.

Q: Matplotlib bar chart for number of occurrences I want to make a bar chart for the number of occurrences for a list. More specifically, I start with a list like:
>>> print(some_list)
[2, 3, 10, 5, 20, 34, 50, 10, 10 ... ]

This list is basically integers within the range of [0, 2470]. What I want to do is plot the number of occurrences for each integer. The code that I wrote is:
from collections import Counter

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import pandas as pd

sorted_list = sorted(some_list)
sorted_counted = Counter(sorted_list)

range_length = list(range(max(some_list))) # Get the largest value to get the range.
data_series = {}

for i in range_length:
    data_series[i] = 0 # Initialize series so that we have a template and we just have to fill in the values.

for key, value in sorted_counted.items():
    data_series[key] = value

data_series = pd.Series(data_series)
x_values = data_series.shape[0]

plt.bar(x_values, data_series.values)
plt.show()

When I run this code I get the following plot:

which isn't what I'm looking for.
The plot that I'm expecting has the $x$ values are the values in [0, 2740] and the $y$ values should be the number of occurrences for each integer value. It should look like a reversed exponential graph.
What's the problem with my code? Thanks in advance.

A: The line x_values = data_series.shape[0] is causing problems: this turns your x_values into the first dimension of data_series (a single value), which is not what you want. Try x_values = data_series.index instead which will give you a list of the all the integers up to the highest one occurring.
To show it's generalizable, here's what I got using a Poisson distribution.
from collections import Counter

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd

some_list = np.random.poisson(500, 2470).tolist()

sorted_list = sorted(some_list)
sorted_counted = Counter(sorted_list)

Is This Deceit Taken?
by Amy Alkon
I'm a 54-year-old single man. I've discovered a troubling and apparently rampant trend among people around my age doing online dating — women not being honest about their age. I think the women doing this include the woman I started seeing, whom I otherwise like a lot. She listed her age as 55 but recently got flustered recalling the year she graduated from high school. I got suspicious and looked her up on people finder sites, which list her age as 57. Should I tell her, "Hey, I've been doing a little detective work, and your numbers don't add up"?
—Just Trying To Find An Honest Woman
After a certain point — the French tactfully call it "un certain age" — a woman's birthday tends to come but once every two or three years. Sure, there are women who aren't willing to compromise their ethics just to shave off a few years: my glamorous grandma, for example, who was 31 until the day she died — at 90.
I'm always a little surprised when anybody's surprised that somebody they met on the Internet lied about something. In fact, as I advise in my new book, "Good Manners for Nice People Who Sometimes Say F*ck," everyone on the Internet should be assumed to be lying about everything until proven otherwise. In other words, consider yourself lucky that she's female. And a mammal.
I write often about our evolutionary imperatives, like how men evolved to lust after healthy, fertile women — all the better to help them pass on their genes. The features men consider beautiful — like youth, unwrinkled skin, and an hourglass figure — are actually indicators of a woman's fertility. And the older and further away a woman gets from peak fertility the more these features fade and the less desirable she becomes to men. Sure, a woman may grow wiser with age, and she may be a perfectly wonderful and kind person, but as I note in my book, "The penis is not a philanthropic organization and will not get hard because a woman bought a homeless guy a sandwich."
You could tell this woman you've caught her in a lie — if your goal is embarrassing her into liking you more. But it isn't like she said she was 30 and turned out to be bumping up against 60. By the way, it isn't just women who engage in attractiveness-improving fibbery. In the male camp, the lies include flashy cars beyond one's means, liberal interpretations of 6'1", Rogaine and the poor man's Rogaine, spray-on "hair."
And the reality is, whenever you think you could get serious with a person, you need to look at her character over time — comparing what she says with what she does — to figure out whether she's trustworthy. As you're doing that with this woman, consider taking a counterintuitive approach — calling up a little compassion for where she's coming from. Chances are, she only lied because she figured out where all the honest women are: home alone being 57 instead of having a man like you spirit them off for a romantic weekend at Club Med Guantanamo to waterboard them about their real birthdate.
Selfish Allergy
I have a friend I see about once a week, and all she ever does is vent about her various dating problems. The 10 percent of the time we actually discuss my life or anything else, she seems bored. I want to tell her I feel like she's monopolizing our friendship with her love life, but I'm not sure how.
You couldn't be a better friend to her, unless, of course, you could have yourself reincarnated as a giant ear.
This isn't friendship; it's therapy without the copay. The question is, has she always been this way? Even a true friend can go through periods of being needy, moody, selfish, or otherwise hard to be around. That friend probably just needs a heads-up, like, "I know you've been on edge about your whole dating situation, but I've been feeling kind of bad that you never seem interested in what's going on with me."
"I'm feeling bad" appeals to their sympathy, which, economist Adam Smith noted, motivates us to try to ease others' discomfort or suffering. Tagging the problem to the "dating situation" suggests that they're a little wrapped up in their problem rather than that they, personally, are the problem. If, however, a person is narcissistic — truly self-absorbed — and if that's always been their orientation, there's probably no transforming them from a talker into a listener (not without duct-taping them to a chair and gagging them with a pair of old tube socks).

Brewers expect to break attendance mark today
September 19, 2007 By WRN Contributor
Sometime today (Wednesday), the Milwaukee Brewers are expected to set a franchise record for season attendance, eclipsing the mark set in 2001 when Miller Park first opened for business.
Through 74 home games this season, the Brewers have averaged 35,230 fans per game and have 28 sellouts. They're 12th in attendance among all Major League teams.
The lucky fan who purchases ticket number 2,811,042 will be asked to come to the Miller Park Box Office this afternoon to be presented with a prize package including a game-worn Robin Yount jersey, a Geoff Jenkins game-used bat, a team autographed baseball, four tickets to the 2008 Home Opener and an official Brewers cap.

We purchased this Graco soother center after our Fisher Price swing completely died on us. If I turn the hand weel Demo Fisher Price Swing. Use Distance Search to find Ads based on where you are and how far you want to travel. The swing we used with our first baby had seen better days it was a basic, bottom of the line swing , so when I found out we were expecting baby number two I was excited to get a few new goodies for our bundle of joy. No wonder my son still loves this swing, it does everything!
Since i went into labor early, my fiance went out and bought the swing for me right after i had her and suprised me with it, I fell in love instantly! I remember when my sister was a baby, we had this swing that you wound up this handle and then gave it a little push and it swung for awhile and then you wound it up again. And they move, they don't start to get weight down as the baby get heavery they keep the same speed. I am a 2nd time mom - I wish I'd had this with my first child! Wind up swings Oh, no, not for my houseguest! Newer Post Older Post Home.
My next favorite feature of the swing is the versitility. Maybe if I wasn't so overtired, I would have noticed the reviews that urged shoppers to stay away. Very good used condition. We received this swing as a shower gift and it turns out to be my absolute favorite piece of baby equipment! Not in Stock Amazon Price Buy. I loved that it could plug in.

Apple shows off 59 new emojis launching this fall
Here's EVERY PS4 game in the Black Friday 2018 sale
by Kara Saunders | November 20, 2018 | 02:27
We scrubbed early Black Friday ads from Best Buy, Target, Walmart, Newegg and more to find the most essential video game deals for the holiday. But Black Friday definitely does not discriminate on that front, which just means that many more brand new releases at absurdly good values.
For buyers looking for a PS4 and Spider-Man bundle, major retailers are offering some great deals.
As per a report by Polygon, PS4 1TB Spider-Man console bundle, PlayStation VR Creed: Rise to Glory and Superhot bundle, PlayStation VR Astro Bot Rescue Mission and Moss bundle and Xbox One S 1TB Minecraft Creator bundle have all been stacked at USD 100 off and now selling at USD 199.99, USD 249.99, USD 199.99 and USD 199.99 respectively. Five years on from the launch of the original PS4, and Sony has announced that it sold a whopping 86.1 million consoles, and as many as 777.9 games. Again, specific numbers aren't provided here, but for reference, Sony's latest financial report recorded 34.3 million PlayStation Plus subscriber as of September 30, 2018.
So is that the best possible deal?
If you don't want the above two games or the Move controllers, there are several other deals on a variety of bundles at many retailers.
At a very nice price, Astro Bot Rescue Mission makes up the only best VR game that is in place now. "Also, join the online community of Minecraft builders and players with a 14-day Xbox Live Gold trial". They typically retail for $60.
Note: Black Friday sales are time limited.
In North America the deal is sweeter - for the duration of the event you can get 12 months for $39.99 instead of $59.99.
Speaking of Uncharted 4 and GameStop, A Thief's End is also available right now at GameStop for $15, 25% off the asking price. Numerous controllers are already around that price, so it may be worth opting for the Xbox Live Gold membership, or picking one of the alternate color controllers, to make the best saving. $299For $299, Walmart is offering a choice of Xbox One S 1TB console with either PUBG, Battlefield V, National Basketball Association 2K19, or Forza Horizon 4 with two bonus controllers and a free copy of either Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, or Fallout 76.

Q: How to run scenarios in calabash android without reset I want to run a feature file containing different szenarios. Without a reset after each szenario.
I tried to run this test by command line with 'RESET_BETWEEN_SCENARIOS' tag.
RESET_BETWEEN_SCENARIOS=0 calabash-android run

doesn't work.
I tried to uncomment ('#') some lines in app_life_cycle_hooks.rb file:
require 'calabash-android/management/adb'
require 'calabash-android/operations'

Before do |scenario|
 #start_test_server_in_background
end

After do |scenario|
 if scenario.failed?
 screenshot_embed
end
#shutdown_test_server
end

doesn't work.
I tried to uncomment die following lines in app_installation_hooks.rb
uninstall_apps
install_app(ENV['TEST_APP_PATH'])
install_app(ENV['APP_PATH'])

doesn't work.

A: Got it.
I removed (by comment) this line in app_installation_hooks.rb
uninstall_apps

and this lines in app_life_cycle_hooks.rb
start_test_server_in_background
shutdown_test_server

I created a file start_server.rb in /step_definitions defined a custom step:
Given /^I started the server$/ do
 start_test_server_in_background
end

which I used in my first scenario
Scenario: S1
Given I started the server
...

I run this by my .sh script (in shell) including the run statement
calabash-android run PATH_TO_APK


This relinks the server login "test" with the the Northwind database user "test". The sp_change_users_login stored procedure can also perform an update of all orphaned users with the "auto_fix" parameter but this is not recommended because SQL Server attempts to match logins and users by name. For most cases this works; however, if the wrong login is associated with a user, a user may have incorrect permissions.
