PETER ODEMWINGIE saved West Brom from a fifth successive defeat to leave Aston Villa heartbroken – and still just above the drop zone.
Until the Nigerian hitman pounced with just seven minutes remaining, Paul Lambert's visitors were on course for their first victory in six games.
Stunning first-half strikes from Christian Benteke and Gabby Agbonlahor put relegation-threatened Villa firmly in control.
But in keeping with their dreadful form of late, the Villans were unable to hang on to the three points which would have lifted them up to the giddy heights of 15th place.
And that was particularly harsh on Charles N'Zogbia, who before being subbed had been truly inspirational in arguably his club's finest display since they won at Liverpool in mid-December.
Now Villa boss Lambert has a serious decision to make regarding the tricky Frenchman.
Does he include his potential match-winner in this week's League Cup semi-final, second-leg with League Two Bradford, when his side attempt to claw back a 3-1 deficit?
Or should he wrap up N'Zogbia and ensure he is fit and well for the rather more important task of retaining the club's Premier League status?
After all, as West Brom keeper Ben Foster had warned before this red-hot clash, Villa are not too big to go down.
Not that the ex-England international or his Baggies team-mates should be concerning themselves with their rivals at present, given their own shocking sequence of late.
Yes, they began 14 points and 11 places better off than the Villans but they began here with their boss Steve Clarke facing the biggest crisis of first spell as a full-blown manager.
If conceding three times in the final nine minutes to crash at Reading last weekend was not bad enough, they had then been beaten in the FA Cup by Queens Park Rangers in midweek.
No better way, then, to get back on track than to give your free-falling neighbours a thumping. At least that would have the plan going into the 124th derby between these two clubs, which kicked off at a typically frenetic pace.
Villa's cause was not helped by the early loss of Nathan Baker, forcing Lambert into an unwanted re-shuffle.
Yet rather than have a detrimental effect, it did just the opposite – as within seven minutes they took the lead with their first meaningful attack.
What a strike it was, too. When N'Zogbia passed to Benteke there seemed no threat whatsoever.
But in contrast to his recent shocking form in front of goal, the claret and blue hitman swivelled before unleashing a right-foot rocket past Foster.
That completely transformed the mood at The Hawthorns as the already bruised Baggies were shell-shocked, Villa suddenly brimming with rare confidence.
Ron Vlaar was inches away from doubling the lead before Agbonlahor, following another N'Zogbia through ball, did just that in the 32nd minute.
Again Foster stood no chance, Agbonlahor coolly racing clear to convert under the advancing Albion keeper.
A poor situation nearly nosedived further for Foster and Co before the break when sub Eric Lichaj missed a sitter after more superb work from N'Zogbia.
Had that gone in, Villa would have been out of sight.
As it was, they were pegged back just five minutes into the second half.
Odemwingie and Romelu Lukaku were thecreators, setting up skipper Chris Brunt, who slammed home from the edge of the box.
After that an equaliser always seemed on the cards – although it did not arrive until the 84th minute, with Odemwingie stabbing in Gareth McAuley's knock down.

Just two days after it emerged Yahoo was reportedly tapping its data to boost search engine results, business review site Yelp is giving its own site a bit of a spit-shine.
Though the fresh look is yet to be pushed live, it will better emphasize the community-contributed content, while also pushing photos of businesses "front and center", as Yelp puts it. This means that rather than being greeted by a small thumbnail at first, you can choose from six large images instead.
Moreover, the user review highlights feature now surfaces the best menu items, prices and other key information, such as whether a bar only sells wine. Finally, the user reviews' column width has been reduced and font size has also been given a tweak to make it easier to read, while displaying larger photos and pushing them in-line underneath the text.


Are you interested in studying engineering? If so, definitely check out "Mines" as a possibility! Colorado School of Mines is gorgeous—set amid the mountains in Golden, Colorado. Mines is very selective, but to boost your chances of getting admitted—apply EARLY. Applications are rolling and your final target date should be November 1st (that means all testing should be completed by October if possible) Mines will accept an "unofficial" test score (which a student sends by fax) for a November sitting of the SAT or ACT ahead of the official scores, but it's crucial to stay on top of this! After November 15th, perfectly viable candidates are typically waitlisted.
Mines is known for generous merit scholarships, so students should keep taking SAT/ACT's all the way through November of senior year to boost scholarship amounts. They are looking for a high amount of academic rigor (AP Calculus, AP Physics, AP Chemistry is the norm) and many students end up paying Colorado's "in state" tuition rate once scholarships are awarded. Mines does not consider SAT Subject tests.
Mines would not be a good school to apply to unless you are absolutely sure that studying math & science is your goal, as there are no "liberal arts" options on campus. Having said that, the students we talked to and observed at Mines appeared to be hard-working, happy, ambitious & well balanced people and the collaborative (rather than competitive) nature of life on campus was obvious! In fact, most students we talked to expressed surprise initially at how social this campus is!
Mines boasts a 32% female population, which for an engineering school (sadly) is quite high. There are many professional women's organizations on campus such as the Society of Women Engineers, etc. and we definitely noticed a lot of camaraderie & integration between men & women across all ethnicities. This school is into serious teamwork!
Corporations are dying to get Mines students for paid internships, and they pay them well! There's a big Career Day every year—companies flock to Golden to recruit interns & employees— prior to that event, Mines students get plenty of prep from the Career Office for skills like interviewing, resume building & overall professional expectations.
Growth is obvious on this campus where they have a brand new football stadium, ballroom dancing classes, a crew team and a spanking new dining hall— The Periodic Table! They also have a gorgeous field house & physical education is required of all students for 4 semesters— the reason is simple: they want to make sure students have physical outlets to release stress. Academics on this campus are TOUGH and everyone goes through the same core curriculum so you can always get help. As a matter of fact, Mines has 140 hours per week of FREE tutoring available, and they say most people will likely need it. One more interesting tidbit about Mines—they are known for their International Studies emphasis along with the sciences.

Q: Specify device width in HTTP request header In Python, I could customize the user-agent and send the request with some mobile type user-agent. However not all sites detects mobile request based on user-agent type.
For example, some sites renders same HTML but different CSS by using media query ('@media ...(max-width: 300px)...').
Is there anyway I can customize the request header to specify the device width to emulate mobile device as much as possible? Or is there any other solution for it?
headers = {'User-Agent' : <MOBILE_USER_AGENT>}
request = urllib2.Request(<URL>, None, headers)
html = urllib2.urlopen(request).read()

A: Media queries are handled by the renderer. The content that is returned by the server doesn't change.
As such, media queries don't have anything to do with HTTP request headers.
Doesn't look like you're rendering anything here, though.

Studies have shown pre-surgical checkups are important for optimal recovery. Dr. Rahman is skilled in performing pre-surgical evaluations and medical clearances to help New York City patients of all ages achieve the best possible outcomes following surgery.
What is a medical clearance checkup?
A pre-surgical checkup is an exam that takes place prior to planned surgery and which is aimed at evaluating your health and addressing existing issues to help ensure your surgery and recovery periods are as safe and uneventful as possible. It can involve screening exams, blood work, urinalysis, and other evaluations as well as a general assessment of your physical health and well-being.
Why are medical clearance checkups important?
Studies have shown having a physical exam prior to undergoing surgery can help shorten your post-surgery recovery time as well as limit the amount of time you may need to spend in the hospital if you're having in-patient surgery, plus it can help reduce your risks of complications during and after surgery. In most cases, surgery is prescribed by a specialist who may not have an awareness of all your underlying medical issues that could contribute to complications, poor outcomes or problems during recovery. Having a pre-surgical exam can be an important step in avoiding all these issues and ensuring a better outcome overall.
When should I schedule my pre-surgical appointment?
Most pre-surgical appointments take place within a couple of weeks of the surgery. That provides plenty of time for lab testing and other tests to take place, and it also gives an up-to-the-minute "snapshot" of your overall health and wellness. You can discuss the timing of your pre-surgical exam with the doctor who's performing the surgery to ensure the best scheduling.
How will my surgeon get my results?
Our office can forward the results of any testing or examinations directly to your surgeon. If an steps or treatments need to be performed prior to surgery, we'll work with your doctor to implement a plan of care tailored to your pre-surgery needs.

Q: Flask-SqlAlchemy insert extremely slow after load large amount of data I have  a table with about 200k records. I'm trying to insert abount 20 records in batch with Flask-SqlAlchemy. It takes about 20ms normally, but when I load all the records from the table before insertion, it takes about 1000ms(50x slower). Why?
from models import LocationMap, db
import random
import time
# the last line 'db.session.commit()' will be extremely slow when I uncomment this line.
#known_locations = LocationMap.query.all()
for i in range(10):
    loc = LocationMap()
    loc.longitude = 0 #location_batch[i + j][0]
    loc.latitude = random.random() #location_batch[i + j][1]
    loc.country = 'test'
    loc.province = 'test2'
    loc.city = 'test3'
    loc.district = 'test4'
    loc.township = 'test5'
    db.session.add(loc)

st = time.time()
db.session.commit()
print(time.time() - st)

A: I think it has to do with tracking / state of instances, references, identity map etc. In other words - I think the reason is mainly how similar ORM's work (sqlalchemy is not tiny ORM). This is why these types of tools are inferior in performance when working with large datasets. But they have very powerful functionality.
I will try to explain with an example:
locations = LocationMap.query.all()
locations[0].country = 'new value1'
locations[1].country = 'new value2'
for i in range(10):
    # ... db.session.add(loc)

db.session.commit()

What's going to happen? Yes - we will have not only inserts. We will also have 2 updates(new value1, new value2). Because Session has a references to all objects. And now let's try to remove selected instances from a Session:
locations = LocationMap.query.all()
db.session.expunge_all()
# your code here... for i in range(10):

You'll see that operation takes ~20ms(normal time). Also you can remove specific object from a Session:
locations = LocationMap.query.all()
for l in locations:
    # if we don't need reference anymore
    db.session.expunge(l)

Otherwise, you can say no to ORM if performance is critical to you.


Recently, I've been thinking that Canfield just isn't a complex enough solitaire game. I've designed patient devil to provide you with more options that you'll feel that you just don't want to take.
The aim of the game is to get all of the cards from the pack to the four foundations. They will vary between (& within) games. Continuous ranking is allowed.
Take a shuffled pack without jokers and deal seven cards face down into the reserve. Beside this, deal one card face up to form the first foundation, then four cards face up in separate piles beneath to form the tableau. Keep the remaining cards aside as your stock.
The foundations are built up by suit in ascending order (A, 2, 3, &c.) As long as its suit is not yet represented in the foundations, at any point you may move a card to the foundation; from there, the suit is built up as usual. There is no requirement that the value of any of the new foundations match those already present. Be careful not to do this too soon — you don't want to find yourself trapped later on.
The cards from the reserve can be played directly to the foundation or can build down on the tableau. One of your first goals should be to clear the cards from the reserve.
The tableau is built down in descending order, regardless suit or colour (i.e. you may build any Q on any K, &c.). Cards may be moved individually or in blocks between the four piles of the tableau. If you have an empty space, it may be filled with any card.
If you're otherwise unable to make a move, deal the top three cards of the stock into a single waste pile. You can play the top card of the waste pile to either the foundations or the tableau.
Once the stock is exhausted, you may turn over the waste pile to produce a new stock. Do not shuffle the cards. You may do this as often as you please, though you may find yourself at a dead end regardless!
You'll find the game slightly easier to win than Canfield (though I've yet to calculate the likelihood of winning), though it will regularly feel like you've made a choice that'll upset the game later. Either way, keep going until you fill the foundations or find that you're unable to progress!
Let me know in the comments how you find the game — or otherwise what your favourite patience games are!
Protected: Here is an axe. I'll tell you how to use it.
I cannot remember when I first played chess. Early memories include losing to Dad very often, playing an exciting animated computer version where capturing pieces fought the captured, and peculiar rules variants I created based on Monty Python and the Holy Grail – especially the rules for Sir Not-Appearing-In-This-Film. Ever since I learned its rules, its been a game I've held an interest in but never held much skill.
My strategy game of choice (on an elliptical cycle, partially based on cash revenue) tends to be Magic: The Gathering. I enjoy its flexibility, the freedom and creativity in creating a deck from collectable trading cards, and the silly, silly things I can sometimes do. Whilst I have often tried to sell my father the tactical and strategic strengths of MTG, he struggles to see it. It's probably because my major draw is the creativity inherent in the game.Magic is a game of breaking rules, chess one of applying them.
That being said, I do enjoy subverting these rules. I like playing unorthodox openings. I like winning.
I don't win very often.
I've gotten better recently, through a course of Chessmaster lessons and reading a book on better chess*, and now can just edge out my father (who rarely practises these days).
I can beat my dad because I want to. I invest more because the opponent is important.
I should really learn to invest more when I want to.

Ph.D., 2007, University of Illinois - Chicago
Experimental Condensed Matter Physics
uc5j@Virginia.EDU
My research is focused on a branch of physics, commonly known as condensed matter physics, which is essentially the study of physical properties of matter in their liquid or solid state employing the principles of quantum as well as statistical mechanics. My research interest lies in the experimental investigations of various solid state systems which exhibit novel electronic and magnetic properties, such as cuprate high temperature superconductors, colossal magneto resistive manganites, different transition metal dichalcogenides hosting charge density wave (CDW) as well as metal insulator (MI) transition and a number of narrow band gap semiconductors displaying unique topological and thermoelectric properties.
Typically, crystals in solid state systems are formed due to periodic arrangement of atoms and when such crystals are formed, the so-called core electrons, remain tightly attached to their respective atomic nuclei and do not play any major role to determine their physical properties. However, the valence electrons, i.e., the outermost ones, are loosely bound to their nuclei and hence, have the liberty to move around the crystals. It is the collective dynamics of these valence electrons (typically on the order of Avogadro's number~1023), which are responsible for majority of the interesting properties of these materials.
In my research, I employ an experimental probe, known as Angle Resolved Photoemission Spectroscopy (ARPES), which is based on light-matter interaction. In ARPES, a photon strikes a sample, from which an electron is ejected as a consequence. Using modern electrostatic analyzers, energy w and momentum k of the ejected electron are simultaneously measured and from such measurements one can immediately obtain w, k information concerning the electronic state inside the sample, i.e. the band structure, via conservation laws for energy and momentum. In complex materials, such k-resolved information is often crucial because, in general, the interactions have strong k dependence. The knowledge of w dependence is also vital since it provides information on the dynamics of these interactions. By adding a Mott detector to the electron analyzer, it is possible to acquire knowledge of the electronic spin textures. In a nutshell, ARPES together with its advanced forms provides the complete set of quantum numbers of an electron in a solid, i.e. energy, momentum and spin. Such a comprehensive knowledge of electronic structure in a material is extremely valuable since they not only determine the bonding among atoms and the resulting atomic structure and lattice vibrations; but also the electrical, thermal, optical, mechanical, magnetic, and chemical properties.
Some of the current research topics are (i) spectroscopic characterization of pseudogap and strange metal phase of BISCO 2212 high temperature superconductors, (ii) investigation of different phases in intercalated transition metal dichalcogenides undergoing disorder-driven CDW quantum phase transition, (iii) exploring novel physics due to interconnection between strong electronic correlation and spin-orbit interactions in 5-d transition metal oxides, (iv) investigation of MI transition NiS(2-x)Sex.

HANSARD 1803–2005 → 1910s → 1915 → May 1915 → 13 May 1915 → Commons Sitting → ORAL ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS.
MILITARY USE OF SCHOOLS (LIVERPOOL).
asked the President of the Board of Education whether he is aware that at least six schools in Liverpool have been taken over by the military authorities, with the result that the scholars have only one long session per day; whether he is aware that only the top floor of the Midland Adelphi Hotel is now being occupied by the military authorities; and whether he will take action, in co-operation with those responsible, to secure that the whole of the hotel in question, together with other similar buildings, may be utilised to ensure that the education of the children of the working men of Liverpool may not be prejudiced through the continuance of the present arrangements?
Four existing schools and three new buildings in Liverpool are being used 1805 as military hospitals. The scholars are attending four other schools on the double shift system, no suitable temporary accommodation being available. I do not know for what, if any, military purposes the Midland Adelphi Hotel is being used. The Committee, which my right hon. Friend appointed to deal with the matter, inspected a number of buildings in Liverpool, the use of which for military hospitals instead of schools was suggested, but they all proved unsuitable. The use of the Midland Adelphi Hotel was not suggested, but we will see whether the suggestion has been considered.
Is the right hon. Gentleman aware, that there are many buildings used only one day a week—I mean churches and chapels—in Liverpool and elsewhere which might be used for the military authorities?
All these matters are being carefully considered.

Oh, how I wish my camera would accurately convey the tone of this room. Simply close your eyes and imagine droves of zombies a la The Walking Dead. And then you'll witness the exact color in all it's rotting glory. Do you see it?? Isn't it wretched???
To make matters worse, the doorway of our hangout room is all that you see as you walk down our main hallway. It's directly at the end. The focal point, if you will. And for three long months, I gritted my teeth every time I walked past.
Here is the space the last time I showed it to you. We'd changed out the carpet and window and simply plopped down our stuff….
And now the room looks like this….
We still have a ways to go. I need to accessorize more to add warmth and softness, add a round mirror to the wall next to the window, new coffee table eventually, more couch pillows, floor pillows, etc. But, at least it's no longer reminiscent of the un-dead.
The soft grey color was actually an attempt to color-match the grey paint that runs throughout the main areas of the house. It came out close… but not close enough to act as touch-up paint for the existing color, unfortunately. So, I decided that rather than waste that gallon of paint, I'd simply use it in this room. Since it'll act as another common space (when it's not a guest room), I thought that extending the main house color into this space would be a nice transition.
You may recognize these curtains as the flanking shower curtains from our last house. The height, pattern, and color work PERFECTLY in this space. I pretty much jumped around in excitement for the first few days after hanging them. And the thing is… I simply used the same shower curtain rings from our previous bathroom to hang them. Even though they're stainless steel, thus, don't match the oil-rubbed bronze rod, they look super cool and sleek. I initially thought that I'd use them as a placeholder until I found something new, but they're staying. Because I love them. And they're awesome. I guess you never know until you try.
This painting is another piece of art created by my mother-in-law Mac. It was displayed in the master bedroom of our last house. To create this piece, she glued foam letters onto the canvas, painted it green, then went crazy splatter painting it in other various tones of green. So super cool.
We still have this blank wall, which is where we're putting the TV. I'll have another post for that.
Now, it blends in and is much less offensive. And one more glamour shot for the road….
I love how my painstakingly refinished mid-century table looks in this room. It adds serious character and richness. Worth every frustrating moment if you ask me. I simply swapped out the lamp from Lucas's room and it fits perfectly in the space. It adds some curvy contrast to all the straight lines going on.
I have to say that I'm really happy with the direction that this room is headed. I have a few fun projects in store for the space, and once we get my mid-century media stand situated, I'll have another update for the TV portion of this space.
Yes, that was a modified Dumb and Dumber quote.
Those who know me well, accept the fact that in the warm-weather months I speak fluent Dumb and Dumber (which seasonally transitions mid-November to fluent Elf). It just is.
Anyhoo, not gonna lie… I definitely burned off all of the cookie-calories I consumed while stress-eating over this thing throughout the dual-refinishing process, and it was worth EVERY SECOND. I've learned so stinkin' much throughout this process, and finally have a result I'm satisfied with.
So, let's start with a quick recap for any newbies. I purchased these drool-worthy mid-century tables for a steal at Goodwill.
The problem was that their finishes had seen better days.
Happily, I was able to salvage the original finish on the smallest table by using mayonnaise to remove water rings. That guy now lives in our tri-functional room….
I began work on the coffee table (which is still not finished), but ended up switching gears to the larger end table. I stripped the table with chemical stripper, then stained and finished the table with a water-based poly… which ended up being a HUGE mistake resulting in bubbles and brush strokes galore (and a pathetic-ugly-crying-Christina).
So, it was onto attempt número dos. After my cries for advice were answered by several sweet folks, I came to terms with the fact that I would have to re-strip the table. Check out the comments from my previous two posts for the specific advice given.
Once the table was fully stripped, I decided to use Formby's Tung Oil.
This was a product recommended by several awesome folks (including Beck), so I figured I'd give it a go. After a short deliberation, I decided to apply the Tung Oil sans stain to bring out the natural tones of the wood… Problem??? I don't think I properly prepped the top of the table… My fear of over-stripping the wood (being that this was my second go-around) had prevented me from removing all the film. With the first coat of Tung oil, the top looked mottled and ashy. NOT the look I was going for. And I realized that I should've stained the table first. I just really liked that look so much better. I didn't take a picture of this part as my frustration got the best of me. Thus, grabbing my camera slipped my mind. But, take my advice… Do a good job stripping the first ('er, second) time. You won't regret it.
At this point, I went inside, ate another cookie, repeated the mantra "At least I only have to strip the top. At least I only have to strip the top…" then decided to risk sanding the top of the table. I say "risk" because of the thin veneer that I was so scared to sand through. I didn't want to use the stripper again because my understanding was that tung oil penetrates the wood so I figured that if I wanted an evenly stained top, I'd need to sand. I very, very carefully sanded with 220 grit sandpaper on my orbital sander. And I DID IT. I sanded just enough to allow the stain to evenly penetrate but before I went through the veneer.
The wood took the stain much more readily this go-around, which resulted in a slightly darker finish than before, but I'm okay with that. It looks rich and luscious while still boasting a mid-century flair. If the table were a person, he'd totally be swinging his flowing locks back and forth in slow motion as Hungry Eyes plays softly in the background.
…cleaned with tack cloth, and applied a second coat. I repeated this process again on the entire table, then two more times on just the top and drawer until I had an even finish all over. I still think the the base could use one last coat, just to add a tad of extra gloss, so I may still do that. But I guess that's the beauty of this stuff. You can add layers to enhance as needed. Applying the tung oil was a process because of the long dry time (12 hours between coats per the instructions), but really it was easy and quick to apply aside from that. And totally worth it. I wish I had known about this stuff the first time around.
In any case, now my table is now glossy and done (please excuse the weird lighting in these pics… I think I chose an interesting time of day to shoot them)….
And check out the top!! The damaged spot is a smidge darker than the rest of the top, but that's the only difference. It feels smooth as can be….
Amazing to me, especially being that the top started off here….
Remember how I questioned whether I'd even be able to stain the table because the damage went so deeply into the wood??
The fact that I was able to salvage that inlaid detailing on the top makes me absolutely over the moon.
I was thinking of selling the table once I was finished, but after all the work I put in, this little guy feels like part of the family. I'm THAT attached. So, I'm gonna hang onto him and let him live in our totally mis-matched, not nearly decorated No Man's Land for a while until I figure out a permanent space for him.
And I must name him. For some reason he feels like an "Earl". Maybe we'll just go with that.
5. How many cookies it takes for me to survive refinishing a table twice within a short period of time (twelve).
Nice, right??? So, on that Hallmark note, I end this post.
What DIY adventures have y'all taken on where you nearly (but didn't) throw in the towel?


A beautifully designed mirror frame dating from the early 20th Century. Some minor damage to the plaster as per the photographs. A good sized mirror that is classic and timeless. A must have addition at this price.
£10 delivery to most parts of mainland UK.
This mirror has no major age (circa 1980's) but we liked the size the design and the detail. We repainted the frame in a flat black paint then distressed the finish to bring some of the underlying frame colours through and highlight the ornate detail.
We think it now offers a very good sized mirror, in a contemporary finish with an antique detailing nod. Excellent value for money, given the size and weight.
A gorgeous original French mirror in a heavy solid oak frame dating from circa 1880-1900. Beautiful design to the frame and decorative top. Both the frame and mirror plate are original. The frame has been refinished in Farrow & Ball Off Black to give it a real contemporary chic twist. The mirror plate has some areas of foxing which adds greatly to it's provenance and appeal, without reducing it's usability in any way.
A gorgeous French mirror and frame dating from circa 1880-1900. Beautiful design to the frame and patina on the original mirror. Some damage to the plaster-work detailing, as in the photographs. This just adds to the charm and heritage of being used and loved by the ever so stylish, from French history.
A perfect bedroom or living room mirror.


DAMAI was formed in 1998 and we are proud to say that it has made significant diferences in the lives of those who have approached us. Damai strives to bring the disabled back into the society and don't want them to be seen as a burden to anyone including their own families.
The association set up in 1998 by two disabled persons,V.Murugeswaran, 39, and M.Manoharan, 54, has benefited more than 1,000 disabled persons in Malaysia through its activities. With the help of the disabled, about 300 disabled people who lacked self confidence and harboured negative outlook in life have been transformed into independent and confident souls.
Damai is non-profitable organization representing Malaysian Disabled from all walks of life. Damai has been managed by the disabled themselves for the past twenty years and DAMAI have helped thousands of disabled and non-disabled in various aspects.
We provide our members with vocational skills which indirectly assist them in the realm of financial skills. It is also to be noted that the main function of Damai is on rehabilitation and teach the disabled on how to live independently, as such we have limited programme in realm of financial skills.
The disabled people should not stay at home but come out and learn to be self-independent. At Damai we help disabled individual to cope with their disabilities. Since its inception, Damai has helped numerous disable individuals to improve their lives. At the Damai Training Centre, we provide computer classes, wheelchair workshop besides helping them to seek employment and also provide opportunity to those who qualified to undergo leadership training abroad.


I was surprised and pleased to receive a comment from Pamela Georgiou that she had located the articles I had produced about Newman's Farm which she had found interesting as she was writing a book about her husband's childhood in Cyprus.
Pamela's husband, a Greek Cypriot, lived in the north of Cyprus and his father had worked for the Newman family at the farm and Nico also remembered them from his childhood when he accompanied his father to the farm.
I was advised that the book had been published on Kindle, Kobo and iBook. I downloaded it on Kindle through Amazon and proceeded to read all about Nico and his childhood escapades. It is a very interesting account of life in Cyprus post WW2 and the way in which people coped during those times when it was difficult to find work to feed and clothe a family.
Nico was a very adventurous boy, hence his nickname by his sisters of "Naughty Nico". He got into all sorts of scrapes and incidents and now looks back on those days with fond memories, as has been written by his wife. Pamela has said that she had heard so much about her husband's childhood that she felt compelled to write a book about it.
I was very interested in the section which recalled the time Nico's father worked at Newman's Farm and his association with Mr Charles (the son of the original founders Philip and Evelyn Newman). Nico also accompanied his father to the farm and earned a little pocket money doing odd jobs for the Newmans, he also remembers the family and the animals.
This is a delightful and humorous short story through the eyes of a child of the time and well worth a read. It is not currently available as a paperback. Pamela was also able to make contact with our own Richard Chamberlain and has included some of his photographs in the book which were taken at the time of Nico's childhood.
When I first had contact with Pamela I put her in touch with Pat Newman, the grand-daughter of Philip and Evelyn Newman who built a house and started the farm, where they lived from 1922 to 1959, Pat was the daughter of Charlie Newman and was born at the time the family still lived at the farm although she was only 1 year old when the family returned to the UK.
Newman's Farm has long gone and part of it is now the site of The Chinese House Restaurant. The remains of the original farmhouse which eventually were reduced to a single storey, is still part of the restaurant, although very different to how it would have been back in those earlier years. The land at the rear of the farmhouse which went down to the sea is now part of a military base.
Pamela and her husband, together with his sister met up with Pat Newman and her husband Fred and found that they lived within a couple of miles of each other in the London area and they spent a very emotional, yet happy, afternoon together. Pat is always very keen to meet people who remember her father so I am sure she was very pleased to meet up with Pamela, Nico and his sister and to hear some of the memories about her origins.
To purchase and download the Kindle edition go to Amazon UK and search for Naughty Nico by Pamela Georgiou.

Newsroom India flexible space market to cross 50 mill sq.ft. by 2023
India flexible space market to cross 50 mill sq.ft. by 2023
Optimism remains for the future of flexible workspaces
Arundhati Bakshi Dighe
Sukriti Kumar
Mumbai, 9th November 2020: JLL today launched a report titled JLL's "Reimagine Flexspaces A 360⁰ view" which highlights that the current market penetration of flex spaces into India's total office stock stands at 3.0%. The country is expected to witness deeper penetration, throughout 2021 and beyond, the flex space market is forecast to grow at a slower pace and more organically. Irrespective of several short-term disruptions and challenges, increased demand from large enterprises, will support the growth of the flex space market to more than 50 mn sq. ft. by 2023. It is anticipated that flexible space will grow by an average of around 15-20% per annum over the next three-to-four years, although this trajectory will not be linear.
Previously expected levels of new investment are unlikely to be seen, as operators look to solidify their existing operations and it is likely that certain operators will not be able to weather the storm.
"Flex space operators have changed the face of commercial real estate with their innovative offerings. This market is projected to grow at a steady pace throughout 2021 and beyond. Resultantly, the market penetration of flex spaces into total office space is likely to see a gradual increase from the current 3.0% to 4.2% by 2023. We expect this growth to continue, driven by demand, profitability and return-profile for investors, albeit at a slower pace resulting from the impact of COVID-19." said Ramesh Nair, CEO & Country Head (India), JLL. "Technology is advancing at an exponential pace and will play a major role in the future of workplaces. In this era, operators that utilize technology to enable the creation of a safer and better work experience will have a competitive edge" he further added
As corporates return to the workplace, they are likely to further leverage flexible space to reduce capital expenditure and create cost savings, while allowing for split teams and de-densification requirements. Developments that initially drove the growth of the flex market, like the focus on utilizing workplaces to boost productivity and drive dynamic work cultures, enhance emphasis on employee health etc., will continue to influence the next phase in India.
"While the flex-space market more than tripled in the last 3 years, the momentum going ahead will be relatively slower. Players are likely to tread cautiously, and the overall market is expected to expand 1.5 times from the current size. At the same time, demand for flexible space is likely to remain resilient and we expect the size of the flex space market to cross 50 mn sq. ft. by 2023 led by increased demand from larger enterprises," Dr Samantak Das, Chief Economist and Head of Research & REIS, JLL India.
At present, Bengaluru and Delhi NCR together account for more than 50% of the flex space stock in India, with Bengaluru housing around 10.6 mn sq. ft. of such spaces. Hyderabad with 4.5 mn sq. ft. and Mumbai with 4.3 mn sq. ft. of flex office stock follow. According to JLL, Hyderabad and Pune are currently among the fastest-growing markets in the country.
In the commercial real estate space, flex spaces have become synonymous with adaptability. As preferences evolve, a range of flexible space options have taken shape to suit changing business needs, including remote working. To respond to the current disruption, and to lay the groundwork to deal with what may be permanent changes for the industry, flex space operators have been agile and are recalibrating their business strategies. They are now laying a greater emphasis on profitability and evolving strategies to ensure stable occupancy levels in their flex space centres.
Large enterprises to drive demand
The densification trend that had emerged over the last decade will likely reverse with enterprises leaning on flexible office space to relax space density. Large enterprises might also look at splitting up their offices to reduce commute times and dependence on public transport. However, with expected economic uncertainty, companies will be hesitant to commit large capital to real estate.
In terms of strategy, leasing directly to a third-party flexible space operator is the most widely adopted model. A partnership model allows both landlords and operators to leverage each other's strengths. There are several ways to implement a partnership, with revenue shares and management contracts being the most common. Under the revenue share option, both parties split the upside. In the case of a management contract, the operator gets a fixed payment, while the landlord assumes all the leasing risk and enjoys the upside. Despite the benefits of this approach, partnerships are relatively less common in India for now.
The entry of more than 300 flex space operators into the country helped commoditize the market. Prior to the pandemic, most of these operators were focused on attaining scale and capturing market share. However, the availability of capital, in the current scenario, will be a challenge. Players who have embarked on aggressive growth so far will find themselves strapped for capital. In such a scenario, the market is likely to witness consolidation activity driven by larger operators with financial wherewithal acquiring smaller ones.
Flexible workplaces will continue to be a major influence on the future direction of the Indian office market. There will be an even greater focus on providing customized office space solutions and demand for flexible space will not only return but increase, as occupiers embrace the core plus flex model more widely. Despite the massive disruption from the impact of COVID-19, the future of flexible workspaces will remain optimistic.

Most authors report that antiepileptic drugs provide complete control for more than half of all patients with epilepsy, and reduce the number of seizures in another 20–30 percent. The remaining 20 percent do not respond to current medications and their condition is termed "intractable" or "refractory to treatment." Some of these people may have other treatment options, such as surgery, or (in children) the ketogenic diet. Reports in the medical literature suggest between 75 and 80 percent of patients with idiopathic, generalized epilepsy have reliable, long term control of seizures on currently available drugs. Some patient surveys, however, show larger percentages of people continuing to have seizures, although they may describe their condition as being under control. Selection bias (clinic-based survey respondents may be more severely affected) may have some bearing on these different results; also, physicians and patients may have different interpretations of control.

The U.S. Senate Election and Israel
Scott Brown's victory means new leeway for Netanyahu
By Marc Tracy
January 20, 2010 • 1:00 PM

As you've probably heard, in a special election yesterday for Ted Kennedy's Massachusetts Senate seat, Republican Scott Brown defeated Democrat Martha Coakley, providing Republicans with a filibuster-smashing 41-seat minority that threatens to derail Democrats' plans for health-care reform.
So … good or bad for the Jews?
Domestically, to the extent that (to paraphrase Norman Podhoretz) most Jews are liberals, it obviously hurts: that 41st seat dramatically weakens Democrats' ability to pass progressive bills, starting—though by no means ending—with health care reform. As New York Jewish Week blogger James Besser notes, though, most Jewish groups were not playing much of a role in the health care fight anyway. And, of course, not all Jews are liberals: the Republican Jewish Coalition rejoiced at last night's outcome.
As for Israel, President Obama's newly weakened domestic position (both structurally, in the Senate, and politically, with last night's results confirming a perception of declining popularity) will likely force him to soften his earlier position that Israel crack down on settlement construction as a prelude to peace talks. "Does anybody really think," asks Besser, "an administration that could lose its congressional majority in November and is besieged on a number of fronts is going to pick a fight with the pro-Israel lobby over new U.S. peace initiatives that are unlikely to go anyplace, anyway?"
And Haaretz columnist Aluf Benn credits Benjamin Netanyahu's canny playing of the U.S. domestic political situation:
No Israeli politician matches his steps to the political goings-on in the U.S. as much as Netanyahu. He dragged out negotiations over the settlement freeze and then decided it would last for 10 months and end in September—just in time for U.S. Congressional elections in which Democrats are expected to suffer heavy losses. Netanyahu understood he must withstand the pressure until his right-wing supporters recapture a position of power on Capitol Hill and work to rein in the White House's political activities.
Benn concludes: "If Obama's popularity continues to dive and the Republicans recapture at least one of the houses of Congress in November, Netanyahu and his partners will be able to breathe deep and continue expanding settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem."

Copyright Protection for your Brand when Trademark Protection is Unavailable
By King and Wood on June 25, 2010
Posted in Intellectual Property
By Kenneth Choy, Partner, King & Wood – Hong Kong
At times, an international company may find that their application for registration of a trademark is rejected by the Chinese Trademark Office. When this happens and all administrative appeals are exhausted, are there alternative means of brand protection available in China?
One alternative may be found in the Chinese Copyright Law. Article 3 of the Copyright Law of the People's Republic of China (Revised in 2010) provides copyright protection to written works, photographic works, sketches and other graphic works. The purpose of copyright law is intended to protect expressions of ideas and concepts for promotion and development of literary, artistic and scientific works.
On the other hand, trademark laws are commercial devices intended to provide trademark holders with the exclusive right to use a trademark to distinguish his goods and services from other traders to prevent public confusion. Although copyright law is intended to enhance art, culture and the sciences, and not protect brand owners, the law is sufficiently broad to offer a brand owner limited protection in some situations.
A word or simple phrase may be protected as a trademark but it may not be adequately expressed to obtain copyright protection. Unless a word phrase is comprehensive enough to express a thought, idea or concept, chances are it may not be protected by copyright. On the other hand, copyright does recognize photographic work, sketches and other graphic works as protectable works. Use of artistic designs, patterns, logos, devices, photographs or other artistic works alone or in conjunction with word marks as trademarks may allow a brand owner to be protected by the copyright law in China.
There are differences between the two types of intellectual property laws. Trademark protection may be of indefinite duration so long as the trademark holder continues to use the trademark to identify itself as the source of the covered goods and services and pays the necessary maintenance fees. On the other hand, where the copyright is held by the individual author, protection generally lasts the author's life plus 50 years following his death. If the right is held by a legal entity, protection is for 50 years after its first publication. Trademark protection is tied to the specific mark for the class of goods and services for which the trademark is registered. Copyright protection is not so limited but covers usage of the protected work in different mediums and for different purposes. Copyright protection extends to translations and modifications of the protected work while trademark protection is tied to the registered mark itself.
The differences in protection reflect the differences in the purposes of the two sets of laws. Yet, the overlap between these laws may give brand owners limited protection in situations where protection of trademark law is unavailable. To be protected, brand owners must understand the intentions and purposes of copyright law and create works that fall within its protection.

End of year report: Memorial Regional Health improved financial position, decreased employee turnover in 2022
News News | Dec 7, 2022
Jennifer Riley
Memorial Regional Health
October marked one full year since being named CEO of Memorial Regional Health. We have had a busy year and made some very positive changes. When I became CEO, I said I had two priorities — our people and our finances. It is impossible to run a health care organization without good people, and you cannot recruit and retain good people without strong finances.
Our financial position is much stronger as we near the end of the year. We started the year with only 20 days of operating cash in the bank, and I am happy to report that we will end 2022 with nearly 55 days of operating cash. It is a healthier cash position than we have had in a long time, and we will continue to make that a focus in 2023.
In order to recruit and retain good people, I knew we needed to turn our attention to the culture at MRH. To gauge how we are doing with our culture, we survey our employees annually. This year over 75% of our employees took the survey, and the question that saw the biggest increase was regarding how satisfied the employee is with MRH as a place to work. Over 87% answered that they were satisfied — up from 69% last year. We've also seen a 12% decrease in employee turnover this year, from an abysmal 42% in 2021 to 30% as of October 2022. This is a good start but our goal for 2023 is to reduce turnover to no more than 23%.
Heading into 2023, we recognize that the economy is a concern for everyone. We will be giving 2.5% cost of living raises to staff in December of this year, and we are budgeting for a 3% cost of living increase in 2023. We also are not raising the cost our employees will pay for their health insurance, despite a 13% increase from the insurance company. MRH will absorb this increase.
Our financial goals for 2023 include increasing our operating cash to 65 days and reducing our days in accounts receivable. Our quality goals will continue to track measures that directly impact patients like readmission rates and hospital acquired infections (which is at 0% for 2022).
My first year as CEO has gone by quickly, and I'm excited about the direction we are headed. As always, I welcome your calls and feedback. Since this is my last communication this year, I wish you all Happy Holidays, a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Jennifer Riley is the chief executive officer at Memorial Regional Health.

Amazon to launch free TV channels on Prime Video?
By Becky Roberts
The US company has posted a 'head of free-to-air TV and advertising' job advert.
Watch out European broadcasters, Amazon looks to be gearing up to launch free channels on its Prime Video service.
The US company is advertising a London-based 'head of free-to-air TV and advertising' job role, as spotted by This Is Money. The strong implication is it plans to delve into free-to-air commercial broadcasting - at least in the UK.

Any new free channels would likely be supported by adverts and would expand on Amazon's existing (albeit limited) ad-supported TV offering, which is available to Prime subscribers forking out £79 a year for the retailer's streaming service.
According to the This Is Money report, Amazon says it wants to expand the number of channels on offer, possibly by striking agreements with European broadcasters.
Naturally this would give commercial channels such as ITV, Channel 4 and Channel another rival.
With Amazon recently bagging exclusive rights to livestream 20 Premier League matches per season from 2019, it's already loosened Sky and BT's stranglehold - are the country's longest-established broadcasters next?
