Struggling Anglo-Swedish drugmaker AstraZeneca said Monday that it will eliminate 1,600 jobs, mostly in the U.S. and United Kingdom, as its new CEO starts a major research and development reorganization.
TRENTON, New Jersey (AP) — Struggling Anglo-Swedish drugmaker AstraZeneca said Monday that it will eliminate 1,600 jobs, mostly in the U.S. and United Kingdom, as its new CEO starts a major research and development reorganization.
The cuts, meant to reduce costs and make research programs more productive, come just weeks after the company reported big drops in revenue and net income for 2012 and forecast continuing difficulties as generic competition hurts sales.
The job reductions amount to nearly 3% of AstraZeneca's 57,200 workers worldwide and are part of moves affecting several major AstraZeneca sites in the U.K., U.S. and Sweden.
Even the global headquarters will be shifted, from London to Cambridge, England, as the company moves many of its scientists near top centers for bioscience research. Rivals have been doing the same, to be near those talent pools and to increase collaborations with scientists at universities and small biotech companies.
The changes, to be made between now and 2016, are expected to produce annual savings of about $190 million by then. They'll result in restructuring charges of $1.4 billion, about $800 million of that likely in cash.
"Given the limited financial benefits, this deal is really about improving science, and the ability to capture innovation and recruit top-tier scientists," Citigroup analyst Mark Dainty wrote to investors. "The pay-off is likely to take several years to be realized but is evidence of sensible organizational change, in our view."
In the U.S., AstraZeneca will scale back its site in Wilmington, Del., by about 1,200 jobs. That includes eliminating 650 positions and shifting 300 others as key functions are transferred to Gaithersburg, Md., home to AstraZeneca's MedImmune subsidiary and research on biologic drugs — injected medicines produced in living cells rather than by mixing chemicals.
AstraZeneca's global medicines development group, which oversees research on both pills and injectable biologic drugs, will move from Wilmington to Gaithersburg, as will the global marketing staff and U.S. sales staff for specialty drugs. Those are complex, very expensive injected medicines for chronic conditions.
Wilmington will still be AstraZeneca's North American headquarters for sales and marketing, with about 2,000 employees remaining. The other 250 jobs being cut in Wilmington include 80 going to a site in Waltham, Mass., and about 170 to other U.S. or overseas locations.
In the U.K., AstraZeneca said most of the corporate and global commercial functions based in London will move to a new $500 million center being built in Cambridge. The company will consolidate all its U.K. pill and biologic drug research in Cambridge, which is known for innovation in the biological sciences and links to key research institutions in London.
"This is a major investment in the future of this company that will enable us to accelerate innovation by improving collaboration, reducing complexity and speeding up decision-making," said CEO Pascal Soriot, who took over last August after his predecessor resigned. "The strategic centers will also allow us to tap into important bioscience hotspots."
The company said its site in Molndal, Sweden, will join Cambridge and Gaithersburg as one of three strategic centers, focusing on developing traditional drugs in pill form.
The three sites will be supported by other AstraZeneca facilities around the world, including the one in Waltham.
Meanwhile, AstraZeneca will end research and development work at Alderly Park in the U.K.. It will move about 1,600 jobs there to a nearby manufacturing facility in Macclesfield, the new center in Cambridge or company sites overseas. The company said at least 700 non-research jobs will remain at Alderly Park, and it will explore options for "a successful future" for that facility.
Like other big drugmakers, AstraZeneca is being squeezed by the weak global economy, government health programs trying to hold down spending, rising research costs and a surge of new generic competition to blockbuster drugs that had brought in billions every year.
In January, AstraZeneca said generic competition in Western Europe and other areas was slashing sales of top sellers including Nexium for severe heartburn, Seroquel IR for schizophrenia and Crestor for high cholesterol. The company's sales dropped to $28 billion last year, from $33.6 billion in 2011, while net income plunged 37%.
So like most of its rivals, AstraZeneca is trying to do more with less staff and improve its success rate in the laboratory and in the expensive patient testing needed to get new drugs approved. The process generally takes a decade or more and costs more than $1 billion per drug, averaging in the costs for hundreds of failed drug candidates.

Церква на честь преподобного Онуфрія Великого — пам'ятка архітектури національного значення в селі Липовий Скиток, найстаріша дерев'яна церква Київщини з тих, що збереглися на своєму первісному місці. Онуфріївська церква була збудована в 1705-06 роках на замовлення єпископа Захарія Корниловича.

Історична довідка

Село Липовий Скиток розташоване за 10 км на північний захід від Василькова, поруч знаходяться села Кожухівка і Данилівка, що туляться в мальовничій долині невеликої річки Бобриця. Назване на честь монастиря (скита), що був тут у XVIII столітті. Зараз село дуже маленьке. Місцевість має досить цікаву історію.

Ось що пише путівник «Дванадцять маршрутів Київщиною»:

«За народними переказами, на території сучасної Данилівки колись було стародавнє місто Данилово, а поряд стояв скит Михайлівського Золотоверхого монастиря. Саме цьому скиту та старим липам, що росли довкола, сучасне село Липовий Скиток завдячує своєю назвою. На початку XVIII ст. Захарій Корнилович, тоді ще ігумен Михайлівський, а пізніше — єпископ Переяславський, заснував Онуфріївський монастир. При ньому збудували дві церкви, одна з яких — Онуфріївська (колишня соборна) — збереглася до наших днів. Ще тут була трапезна церква Св. Захарія, яка не збереглася.

Якщо не враховувати церкви, перенесені у музеї народної архітектури, то храм св. Онуфрія у Липовому Скитку є найстарішим дерев'яним храмом Київщини, адже його збудували ще у 1705 році. Ця струнка трьохбанна будівля передає дух та самобутність давньої архітектури і дуже гармонійно вписується в пейзаж. Здається, що при його створенні одразу ж планувалася наявність саме такої церкви. Хоча, нова огорожа та прибудований до неї вхід-дзвіниця, дещо зменшують це враження.»

1879 року за проектом архітектора Петра Федорова храм було відремонтовано - перекладено, обшито новою шалівкою, добудовано бічні рамена.

Станом на 1913 рік до парафії храму окрім Липового Скитка, належало сусіднє село Данилівка. Кількість парафіян становила 1802 особи. При храмі існувала церковно-парафіяльна 1-класна школа. Настоятелем з 1904 року був Іоан Памфилович Шиманський, псаломником з 1909 року Оверкій Сергійович Мартиненко, проскурницею з 1898 року Марія Миколаївна Завальниківська.

Архітектура

Розташована на невисокому пагорбі. Дерев'яна на кам'яному фундаменті хрестова п'ятизрубна з невеликими прибудовами і притвором із заходу. Центральні зруби накриті спільним дахом, над яким підносяться три купола на гранованих барабанах, увінчані главками (західна главка не збереглася). Стіни горизонтально ошальовані. Будівля відрізняється витонченістю і стрункістю силуету, органічно вписується в пейзаж. Пам'ятник являє собою цікавий зразок українського дерев'яного зодчества.

В інтер'єрі панує XVIII століття. Височенні склепіння, здається, уміщують небеса, під якими тихо сяють дивовижні витвори барокової епохи: царські врата, розписи шафи невизначеного призначення, народні ікони. І навіть сучасні аляповаті розписи не вносять дисонасу в заспокоєну і радісну душу прочанина.

Iceland's 'Rang-tan' ad hits 30m online views and prompts petition
The 'Rang-tan' ad that Iceland has complained it was stopped from airing on TV has received more than 30 million aggregated views across social media after catching the attention of celebrities.
Iceland says it had planned to air a version of Greenpeace animation "Rang-tan", created by Mother, as its Christmas campaign – but was forced to change course after Clearcast said it would be in breach of the BCAP Code on political advertising.
But since tweeting about its problems with airing the ad on TV – which focuses on the environmental impact of palm oil use in foods and its threat to orang-utan habitats – Iceland has reached millions of views of "Rang-tan".
"Rang-tan" has had more than 3.1 million views on YouTube alone, with a total 30 million aggregated views across social media, "predominantly on Twitter and Facebook", according to stats from Mother.
The film has been "reposted by loads of users with a lot of followers", said a spokesperson for the agency, helping it to gain views.
On Twitter, there have been at least 100,000 original posts, with celebrities adding their support for the ad including comedian and TV host James Corden, who tweeted he thinks "everyone should see it".
This commercial was banned from TV for being too political. I think everyone should see it x pic.twitter.com/ns2XnGSnv6
— James Corden (@JKCorden) November 11, 2018
Meanwhile, presenter Julia Bradbury, famed for her love of the great outdoors, tweeted "It's crazy that the @IcelandFoods ad was banned for being 'too political' because it shows how deforestation for palm oil has brought orangutans to the brink of extinction."

Actor Ralf Little tweeted: "Kudos to @IcelandFoods for taking the lead on this important climate issue - palm oil use killing 25 orangutans per day."
Kudos to @IcelandFoods for taking the lead on this important climate issue - palm oil use killing 25 orangutans per day. This advert banned on political grounds. Not sure who they think will be offended, so, feel free to RT. https://t.co/wH5a7XGGsA
— Ralf Little (@RalfLittle) November 9, 2018
Stats from Mother show there have been more than 100,000 original posts on Twitter, while the original Iceland Facebook post with the film has been shared more than half a million times.
Traditional media includes at least 100 TV and radio clips about the ad, as well as 31 UK print newspaper cuttings and 126 online news links.
Iceland marketing director Neil Hayes said: "It's been fantastic to see the story being widely shared and an overwhelmingly positive response for what is a really important message.
"We've been able to reach a huge number of customers without TV advertising, thanks to the level of support from campaigners, celebrities, the media and of course the public.
"We set out to raise awareness of an issue and even though this hasn't happened in the way we'd initially planned, we ultimately managed to share the story far and wide."
Meanwhile, a Change.org petition to encourage the ad to be shown on television has so far topped 621,000 signatures.
Clearcast said its "concerns do not extend to the content or message of the ad", but that it contravenes the prohibition on political advertising because it is "by or on behalf of a body whose objects are wholly or mainly of a political nature".
Iceland will now run a series of 10-second product ads from this Friday (16 November), starting by promoting its palm oil-free luxury mince pies.

Events, Feature, What's On
Tavern Talks January 2019
January 22, 2019 thewinchesterguide Leave a comment
On Thursday evening (24 January) Professor Tim Prentki will be speaking in the latest in the University of Winchester monthly series of Tavern Talks – held upstairs at the St James Tavern at the bottom of the Romsey Road.
Tavern Talks feature short informal talks followed by lively discussion. The evening starts with drinks from 5.30, with the talk itself kicking off at about 6.00pm. Tavern Talkers usually stick around for another drink (or two) downstairs after the discussion finishes at around 7.00.
Entry is free, participation encouraged. All are welcome. No booking required.
Tim will argue that, insofar as we process and perform reality in the same ways in which theatre operates, we might all be said to be 'acting on the world stage' – and will argue that, when our opportunities to develop as social performers and audiences are thwarted, we lose empathy and resort to tribal identities at odds with our cerebral wiring.
Tim is a playwright and the world's first Professor of Theatre for Development, as well as being the author of numerous books on such subjects as Applied Theatre and Popular Theatre in Political Culture.

The University of Winchester's Faculty of Arts has teamed up with St James Tavern at the bottom of Winchester's Romsey Road to launch Tavern Talks, a new series of public conversations aimed at bringing people together to engage in lively discussions about the creative arts and contemporary discourse in the contexts of cultural history and modern politics and society.
These Thursday evening meetings will convene once a month in the upstairs room of the St James Tavern, and will feature short informal talks on intriguing topics designed to prompt further discussion. The evenings will start with drinks from 5.30, with the talks kicking off at about 6.00pm.
There's no charge for entry and everyone is welcome, space permitting.
"We're not planning to lecture people for an hour," said the University's Dean of Arts, Professor Alec Charles. "We're offering something a bit different – something much more social and interactive, an opportunity for everyone to speak, share and learn."
Tavern Talks has now announced the first three events in its autumn/winter programme.
On Thursday 25 October, Professor Peter Billingham will be introducing the idea of 'Putting the Demo into Democracy'. A playwright and the author of many books and articles on theatre, television and music (including recent work on Leonard Cohen and Edward Bond), Professor Billingham will discuss the relationships between democracy and civil disobedience in these politically turbulent times. He will ask how far the limits of conventional democracy might stretch, and under what circumstances demonstrations and acts of civil disobedience might come to seem desirable and necessary.
On Thursday 22 November, Dr Vanessa Harbour will be talking about the issues writers face when 'Writing History as Fiction'. Dr Harbour is a writer whose recent novel Flight was published by Firefly Press in August and was described by the New Statesman as "an adventure mixing horses and Nazis" which balances its "gripping plot" with "real-life inspiration". She will suggest that, as a writer, she aims to create narratives that engage the imagination using voices that are unlikely to have left any written records behind them, as she tells the stories of the invisible characters of history.
On Thursday 24 January, Professor Tim Prentki will propose that, insofar as we process and perform reality in the same ways in which theatre operates, we might all be said to be 'Acting on the World Stage'. Tim Prentki is a playwright and the world's first Professor of Theatre for Development. The author of numerous books on such subjects as Applied Theatre and Popular Theatre in Political Culture, he will argue that, when our opportunities to develop as social performers and audiences are thwarted, we lose empathy and resort to tribal identities at odds with our cerebral wiring.
Tavern Talks are aimed at providing a space for constructive discussion and creative interaction that shifts the emphasis from the fusty to the fun, and welcome all who'd like to take part.

Ryan Reynolds Spoofs Kanye West's 'Saturday Night Live' Rant After Fans Petition for Deadpool to Host the Show
By Nicholas Hautman
Ryan Reynolds, in character as Deadpool, spoofed Kanye West's Saturday Night Live backstage rant in a new video shared on Facebook on Friday, February 19.
In the NSFW video, Reynolds, 39, indirectly addresses the online petition that fans started to get Deadpool to host Saturday Night Live. The Change.org petition already has almost 70,000 signatures — but the profanity-filled video reveals that the superhero isn't a likely candidate to host the NBC show.

"Listen up, Lorne Michaels," Deadpool says in the video, addressing the show's creator. "SNL took my f–king Life of Pablo album without asking. Now I'm bummed. That and Rip Taylor. Fake ass!"

The rant spoofs the audio of West's similar backstage tirade, which leaked online on Wednesday, February 17. During his tantrum, the 38-year-old rapper, who just released his highly anticipated album The Life of Pablo, says, "Look at that s–t. They took my f–kin' stage off SNL without asking me. Now I'm bummed. That and Taylor Swift. Fake ass!"

Gov. Ugwuanyi honours BBN winner Whitemoney
Gov. Ugwuanyi honours BBN winner, Whitemoney
Gov. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State, on Friday, hosted WhiteMoney, with real name Hazel Onoduenyi, the 2021 winner of Big Brother Naija (BBN) Season Six edition.
Receiving the Enugu indigene at the Government House, Ugwuanyi commended him for his uncommon love, humility, godliness and consistency.
The governor said these qualities, consistent with what he described as "Enugu spirit", endeared him to his housemates and the viewing public.
He appreciated God's grace on the Big Brother Naija winner, described him as 'a worthy son of Enugu State, truly representative of the humility, talent, industry, ambition, and Godliness of a true Enugu youth'.
"I call on the teeming Enugu youths to deploy their creative talents and skills to win more laurels for the state," Ugwuanyi advised.
Conferring Whitemoney with the award "Ambassador of Enugu State in Creative Arts", Ugwuanyi described the crown he brought home as "most deserving".
He urged Whitemoney to feel good about his accomplishment.

"We are very proud of you and wish you many more successes.
"In a lighter mood, Mr. Whitemoney, Ndi Enugu, who followed your activities in the house, observed that you spent most of your time in the kitchen.
"While we do not claim to know the reason for that, we, however, decided to provide enough food for dinner as we do not wish to see you visiting the kitchen tonight, the governor said, amid laughter.
Responding, Whitemoney said that "God's grace located him" and thanked the governor for the great honour and warm reception.
He also expressed gratitude to the people of Enugu State and all those who supported him while in the house and promised to uphold the good things which started from the house
"I have never changed, I am still cooking; the level has changed but I have not changed; I am still the same person.
"Thank you so much, Your Excellency, Daddy, I am grateful and I promise to serve this state with all my heart," he said.

Q: How to add pdfTemplateResolver for Thymeleaf configuration in my jhipster application I have an application generated with jhipster, it makes use of Thymeleaf to render email templates. All works nice.
I want to add a pdf generator for which i will to use the thymeleaf templates. So i would like to add a ClassLoaderTemplateResolver. I have this:
@Configuration
public class ThymeleafConfiguration {

  @SuppressWarnings("unused")
  private final Logger log = LoggerFactory.getLogger(ThymeleafConfiguration.class);

  @Bean
  @Description("Thymeleaf template resolver serving HTML 5 emails")
  public ClassLoaderTemplateResolver emailTemplateResolver() {
    ClassLoaderTemplateResolver emailTemplateResolver = new ClassLoaderTemplateResolver();
    emailTemplateResolver.setPrefix("mails/");
    emailTemplateResolver.setSuffix(".html");
    emailTemplateResolver.setTemplateMode("HTML5");
    emailTemplateResolver.setCharacterEncoding(CharEncoding.UTF_8);
    emailTemplateResolver.setOrder(1);
    return emailTemplateResolver;
  }

  @Bean
  @Description("Thymeleaf template resolver serving HTML 5 emails")
  public ClassLoaderTemplateResolver pdfTemplateResolver() {
    ClassLoaderTemplateResolver emailTemplateResolver = new ClassLoaderTemplateResolver();
    emailTemplateResolver.setPrefix("pdf/");
    emailTemplateResolver.setSuffix(".html");
    emailTemplateResolver.setTemplateMode("HTML5");
    emailTemplateResolver.setCharacterEncoding(CharEncoding.UTF_8);
    emailTemplateResolver.setOrder(1);
    return emailTemplateResolver;
  }
}

Which makes it possible to put the templates in a different directory.
What is unclear to me is how do you make sure i get the pdf template resolver for pdf's and the email template resolver for generating emails?

A: Ok it seems both get picked up automatically. Not sure what will happen when a template name is in both places. To avoid that i could add two beans like this:
@Bean
public SpringTemplateEngine emailTemplateEngine() {
    final SpringTemplateEngine engine = new SpringTemplateEngine();
     final Set<TemplateResolver> templateResolvers = new HashSet<TemplateResolver>();
     templateResolvers.add(emailTemplateResolver());
     engine.setTemplateResolvers(templateResolvers);
    return engine;
}

@Bean
public SpringTemplateEngine pdfTemplateEngine() {
    final SpringTemplateEngine engine = new SpringTemplateEngine();
     final Set<TemplateResolver> templateResolvers = new HashSet<TemplateResolver>();
     templateResolvers.add(pdfTemplateResolver());
     engine.setTemplateResolvers(templateResolvers);
    return engine;
}

Singapore, 28 June 2007 - Singapore Press Holdings Limited (SPH) will absorb the Goods and Services Tax (GST) hike of 2 per cent for its suite of newspapers and magazines. The cover prices of its publications will remain unchanged from July 1, 2007.
The company has a stable of 14 newspapers in four languages and over 90 magazine titles in Singapore and the region. The additional cost to SPH of absorbing the 2 per cent GST hike is estimated to be about $4million a year.
Mr Robin Hu, Executive Vice President of Newspaper Services, added, "It should be comforting for our readers to know that they can continue to get a copy of their favourite newspapers at prices no more than what they would pay for their beloved cup of coffee."

Data show how car brand affects speeding
New research by Admiral, a British insurer, based on data from some 300,000 event data recorders (EDRs) has revealed differences in the likelihood of speeding between drivers of different brands of car. BMW and Audi models featured prominently high up on the list of speeders, while at the other end of the spectrum, Skoda cars were found most frequently in the bottom 10%. Several UK insurers offer a discount to drivers who are willing to have an EDR fitted in their car. Drivers can […]
Deaths on US roads increase 8%
Preliminary data released last month by the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) show a 7.7 percent increase in motor vehicle traffic deaths in 2015. An estimated 35,200 people died in 2015, up from the 32,675 reported deaths in 2014. The NHTSA estimate shows 9 out of 10 regions within the United States had increased traffic deaths in 2015. The most significant increases came for pedestrians and bicyclists. "As the economy has improved and (fuel) prices have fallen, more Americans are driving more […]
ETSC statement: Transport safety implications of the UK referendum on EU membership
In a referendum held on 23 June, a majority of citizens of the United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union. The decision, if carried through with the commencement of the Article 50 procedure of the treaty of the EU, may have far-reaching consequences for the areas of policy covered by European Union law, including transport safety. There is currently a great deal of uncertainty about the kind of relationship the UK will have with the remaining member states, and the legal framework that […]
Zero stars for more Indian cars
The latest Indian crash test results from Global NCAP released in May continue to disappoint. All five models were rated as zero star. The Renault Kwid, Maruti Suzuki Celerio, Maruti Suzuki Eeco, Mahindra Scorpio and Hyundai Eon all showed low levels of adult occupant protection. The Renault Kwid was tested in three versions, including one with airbags, but each was rated as zero star for adult safety. Commenting on the latest crash test results, David Ward, Secretary General of Global NCAP said: "The latest […]
India to require daytime lights for motorcycles
India will require new motorcycles to be fitted with headlights that switch on automatically from next year in a bid to improve the visibility and safety of motorcyclists. From April 2017, powered two wheelers will need to automatically switch on the headlight when the ignition switch is turned on. The measure may actually save money once implemented because it effectively removes the need for an on/off switch for the headlights. In Europe, daytime running lights or auto-on headlights are already required on new motorcycles […]
Telematics cut speeding by 97% says UK fleet manager
The introduction of telematics systems in the vehicle fleet of Andrew Page, a distribution company with 900 vehicles, reduced speeding by 97% and crashes by 47% as well as reducing maintenance costs and improving fuel economy according to a report in the Financial Times newspaper. Take-up of telematics systems is increasing, with industry experts expecting them to be integral in all fleets within five and seven years' time. Resistance amongst drivers may also be decreasing, according to the FT. It cited a 2015 survey […]
Ford says Intelligent Speed Assistance proving popular
Ford says 95% of customers are opting for its version of Intelligent Speed Assistance, known as Intelligent Speed Limiter, to be fitted on new Galaxy and S-Max models sold in Europe. The announcement was made at an ETSC event organised together with the Irish Road Safety Authority (RSA) in Dublin in April. Ford says the technology will soon be available on a third model, the Edge four-wheel drive. A new report from the RSA launched at the conference revealed that between 2008 and 2012, […]
Automated vehicles need 'driving tests'
EU rules on safety approvals for new cars will need to be revised to include 'driving tests' for automated and fully-autonomous vehicles according to a new report from the European Transport Safety Council (ETSC). ETSC says the EU is far from answering the many research and regulatory questions that must be considered before automated and autonomous vehicles can be put on sale. The report says the priority must be ensuring that the promised safety benefits are delivered in real world driving. One challenge will […]
Opinion: 100 issues later, what's changed since the first edition of ETSC's Safety Monitor?
Antonio Avenoso, Executive Director There was no email version, not even an email address to write to or website to check for updates. None of the articles were tweeted or shared on facebook as Mark Zuckerberg was only ten years old. Google was not yet a verb. Browsing through the first edition of ETSC's Safety Monitor newsletter this week felt like examining a document from another age. It was published in December 1994, around eighteen months after ETSC was founded 'in response to the […]
Euro NCAP says no progress on quadricycles
Small city cars classified as heavy quadricycles still have 'fundamental' safety problems according to Euro NCAP. The organisation says safety equipment is sparsely fitted to these vehicles and the results show little improvement since the last tests performed in 2014. The crash test results of the selected vehicles – Aixam Crossover GTR, Bajaj Qute, Chatenet CH30 and Microcar M.GO Family – show the standard of protection offered to the driver is still generally very low, leading to serious risks in collisions with other vehicles […]
Europe's car safety framework needs 'overhaul'
Vehicle safety innovations are still benefitting too few road users in Europe due to an over-reliance on a voluntary testing programme rather than regulatory standards, according to a new report by ETSC. For almost twenty years, increases in levels of car safety in Europe have been driven mainly by the voluntary Euro NCAP programme which awards the safest cars with a 5-star rating. But according to new data, only around half of new vehicles sold in 2013 had been awarded 5 stars by Euro […]
Experts underline importance of Seatbelt Reminder Systems in new video
A new film from ETSC calls on the European Commission to require the fitting of Seatbelt Reminder Systems in all passenger seats in new cars when it reviews vehicle safety regulations later this year. The short video highlights the critical importance of seatbelt wearing to prevent serious injury and death and cites research showing that up to a quarter of rear seat passengers are still failing to belt up. Seatbelt Reminder Systems are already required on drivers' seats thanks to the last update to […]
US police data analysis confirms effectiveness of automated emergency braking
Vehicles equipped with automated emergency braking are much less likely to crash into the rear of other vehicles, the US-based Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has found in a study of the feature's effectiveness using police-reported crash data. Systems with automatic braking reduce rear-end crashes by about 40 percent on average. The autobrake systems also greatly reduce injury crashes. "The success of front crash prevention represents a big step toward safer roads," said David Zuby, IIHS chief research officer. "As this technology becomes more […]
Global NCAP accuses Renault of 'serious misrepresentation' of crash tests
Global NCAP, the international network of new car safety assessment programmes, has written to Carlos Ghosn, CEO of Renault after the company ran adverts in Uruguay for the Megane III misleadingly accompanied by a Euro NCAP five star rating. Renault sells a local version of the Megane III in Latin America that has not been tested by Euro NCAP or Latin NCAP. The company does not currently sell a vehicle in Latin America that has received a five star rating from Latin NCAP. In […]
Vehicle type approval shake-up announced
In response to the dieselgate scandal, the European Commission last month proposed major changes to the oversight of the technical environmental and safety compliance checks new car models must undergo before being approved for sale on the European market. The proposal designed, in the Commission's words, 'to correct the flaws in the system' has three stated aims: Reinforce the independence and quality of testing that allows a car to be placed on the market; Introduce an effective market surveillance system to control the conformity […]
Uber trials system for monitoring driver speed, acceleration and braking
The taxi service Uber has announced it is trialling technology to track the speed, acceleration and braking of its drivers using smartphone sensors. The company describes the process as designed to help verify complaints from passengers of poor driving but says it has broader plans to ensure drivers maintain appropriate speeds and are not distracted. The US-based company announced in November that it would create a permanent global safety advisory board to oversee the safety and personal security issues related to the service. ETSC […]
Two-thirds of UK drivers happy with Intelligent Speed Assistance tech
A survey for the UK road safety campaigners Brake has shown that 63% of drivers would be happy for Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA) technology to help prevent them speeding while driving. The survey found 32% of drivers are willing to have a mandatory ISA system that cannot be overridden, while a further 31% would be interested in an overridable form of the system. Several vehicles already on the market, including the Ford S-Max and Volvo XC-90, already have such a feature. Trials have predicted […]
WHO urges governments to require minimum vehicle safety standards
The World Health Organisation (WHO) is calling on governments around the world to apply the UN's most important vehicle safety regulations. In its 2015 Global Status Report on Road Safety (published 19 October) the WHO reveals "worrying data showing that less than half of countries implement minimum standards" and warns that "Governments have a responsibility to take the steps needed to ensure their citizens have access to safe vehicles". Using seven priority vehicle safety standards recommended by Global NCAP, the WHO has carried out […]
Opinion: Has ISA's time finally come?
Antonio Avenoso, Executive Director For years, speed has been recognised as one of the three main contributing factors to deaths on our roads. And for more than a decade, ETSC has been advocating the benefits of Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA), a driver assistance system that a 2014 Norwegian study found to be the 'most effective' in saving lives. We are optimistic that 2016 could prove to be a turning point in wide adoption of the technology. ISA uses a speed sign-recognition video camera and/or […]
Volkswagen announces third party audit of US safety compliance
The Volkswagen Group has said it will commission an outside audit of its compliance with US safety reporting laws following allegations by Bloomberg that it failed to report lawsuits involving safety issues to the US regulator. Bloomberg reviewed 13 random lawsuits filed against Volkswagen in the last 11 years. Volkswagen had reported nine of them to the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Four couldn't be found in the database. They involved one death and three injuries described in lawsuits filed in 2007, […]

Who is the new lawyer on General Hospital? Maysoon Zayid lands GH role
General Hospital introduced a new lawyer last week. Shiloh (Coby Ryan McLaughlin) is determined to find the little boy Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) kept hidden from him. In order to win and get access to the child he believes is his heir, he hired big guns.
While the name of the attorney that would face off against Diane Miller (Carolyn Hennesy) was kept quiet until her debut, the character was described as someone who could definitely go against the famed mob attorney and give her a run for her money.
Maysoon Zayid debuted as Zahra Amir, the attorney hired by Shiloh to take out Willow in court. She may be familiar to some viewers, as she has made a name for herself in the world of comedy. If you aren't sure who Maysoon Zayid is, checking her out is a must!
https://www.instagram.com/p/By-RAwynOMN/
Soap viewers may recognize Maysoon Zayid from As the World Turns where she got her debut. More recently, she went viral when her TED talk got 10 million views.
She was born in America but embraces her Palestinian roots. Maysoon Zayid has cerebral palsy, but that doesn't stop her.
Not only is she an actress, but she is also a humanitarian. She volunteers her time in Palestinian territories and runs art camps for disabled and orphaned children in refugee camps. The programs are almost fully funded by the money she makes from her comedy shows and appearances.
As far as General Hospital goes, Maysoon Zayid's role duration is unknown. It is likely she will stick around as long as the custody battle is going on.
Wiley is not the baby Willow gave birth to and no one besides Brad (Parry Shen) knows it. Shiloh will need an attorney to keep going to bat for him and Zahra Amir is just the person to do it.
General Hospital airs weekdays on ABC.

In the data center you will find USA Based Shared Hosting packages, which are exceptional if you wish to host an unsophisticated blog or portfolio site, or possibly a pretty popular web–store. Our Linux shared hosting packages offers include a 99.9% uptime guarantee, a totally free domain registration and unlimited disk space & traffic allocations. USA Based Linux Semi-dedicated Hosting Packages are offered. Those are the smart choice if you want more power than the usual Linux shared hosting packages pack can provide, yet dedicated servers are too tricky to control and need too much upkeep from you. The semi–dedicated servers come with plenty of CPU and MySQL database storage space allocations, which makes them perfect for popular sites with thousands of month–to–month viewers. For people who want something even more powerful, we provide you with USA Based Linux Dedicated Servers Hosting Packages. By getting a dedicated server, it is also possible to host any web site or web application that you would like, regardless how CPU–intensive or resource–demanding it can be.

KCKCC volleyball All-American to Mo. Western
By ALAN HOSKINS
KANSAS CITY, KAN. ---- Kansas City Kansas Community College All-American Blair Russell will continue her volleyball career at Missouri Western State University in St. Joseph.
An All-Jayhawk and All-District first team selection in helping lead the Lady Blue Devils to the consolation championship of the NJCAA Division II national tournament, Russell is KCKCC's first player to be named to the NJCAA First All-America team.
A December graduate at KCKCC, Russell will transfer immediately and begin classes at MWSU next week.
"I talked to quite a few MIAA schools and had decided to wait until the spring to decide because I had had no time to go visit," said Russell. "But I took a visit to MWSU because it was so close and just loved it – and they had the program I wanted to major in."
"The entire Blue Devil coaching staff is so proud of Blair's achievements both on the court and in the classroom," said KCKCC head coach Mary Bruno. "Her work last spring was the turning point. She worked so hard and it showed by the All-American honors. A leader and great team player, she has the potential to make a major impact at Missouri Western. I just can't wait to see what the next two years hold for her."
Russell, who earned an Associate's degree at KCKCC with a major in Journalism,will major in Convergent Media at MWSU. "I really like photography and video editing," said Russell. By transferring now, her goal is to graduate in December of 2017.
At Missouri Western, Russell will fill the same role she played at KCKCC, outside hitter where she was fifth in the nation in kills (516) and eighth in kills (3.94) per game.
"I was recruited to fill the spot of their outside hitter who graduated," said Russell, who was recruited by head coach Marian Carbin and assistant Signe Mueller. "They really seemed to care about their players and program and think I'll fit right in." Russell is one of two Jayhawk Conference standouts joining the NWMU program this spring. "The setter from Fort Scott also signed," said Russell.
Location-wise, MWSU is a great fit for Russell. Her older sister and a former KCKCC player, Riley, is a nurse in Kansas City while her parents now live in Omaha.
A graduate of Marysville (Kan.) High School where she was a three-sport standout, Russell almost gave up competitive volleyball after injuring her shoulder her freshman year at Tyler Junior College in Tyler, Tex. However, once in contact with Bruno, Russell decided to continue at KCKCC, a decision she calls one of the best of her life. "I had a really good time and am going to miss it," said Russell.

The most requested procedure in cosmetic dentistry is teeth whitening. It is a quick, affective and affordable solution to restore vitality to your smile.
Many factors cause discolouration of the teeth: medications, tea and coffee, red wine, age, excessive brushing, and others that can sometimes be reversed dependant on the cause of discolouration.
Some methods will restore the natural colour of your teeth, while others, like bleaching, can whiten teeth beyond their natural colour and up to 7 shades whiter.
Before deciding which whitening solution is best for you, we recommended that your dentist examines your teeth and gums to check general gum health, thickness of tooth enamel, existing fillings, crowns and veneers, tooth decay and levels of discolouration. They will also determine the best procedure based on your age and diet.
We offer two methods of bleaching; a take-home kit or the in-office whitening.
If take-home bleaching is the chosen option, you'll be provided with a custom made tray, whitening gel and detailed instructions to help you achieve the best results at home. Alternatively, if in-office bleaching is the preferred option, you will need a 2 hour appointment with one of our Oral Therapists.
Bleaching is not recommended for pregnant or lactating women, children under the age of 14 years, or smokers.

Sydney Approves Free Wedding Venues For Gay Couples
By Troy Murphy
Sydney City Council has approved free wedding venue hire for same-sex couples in city-owned parks, halls and community venues for the first 100 days after same-sex marriage is legalised.
This is a win for same-sex couples should marriage be legalised. However, the idea of celebrating equality with inequality doesn't bode well for some.
The initiative was a motion by Labor's Linda Scott, although approved by the Sydney City Council, it was met with debate as some within the council argued for the offer to be extended to all couples in the name of equality.
"This is about equality for every Australian before the law, and it's just not right in my view to say that suddenly now we've won the battle and we're more equal than the rest of the community," Councillor Christine Forster told the ABC.

It was tricky to install and definitely needs 2 or 3 people (heavy) but clearer instructions would be more helpful (i.e. how far apart should the wall bolts be). On first use, the squeak from winding it in and out was awfully loud but after lots of WD40 seemed OK. May Day Bank Holiday was a good test for everything as the weather was so hot!"

"Superb quality and workmanship, easy to fit and well packaged for transportation."
"WHAT APPEARS TO BE A GOOD QUALITY ITEM, DELIVERED PROMPTLY"
"Just what I wanted. Looks great."
"There is an easier way to fit the awning than described in fitting instructions but other than that no problem"
"A well made strong awning, that is everything it said on website."
"The awning is as good as expected. Improvements have been made over the previous model (7 years old) and increased life is expected as a result."
"easy to put up and everything we had hoped for..great product"

Cdn project: swine transport biosecurity
Many industry players are working together to commercialize an automatic swine trailer sterilization system
By Jackie Clark
Farmers and ag researchers have biosecurity top of mind due to the threat of ASF overseas and experiences with porcine epidemic diarrhea (PED). So, a Canadian team is working to safeguard the industry.
When PED "crossed the border into Manitoba, there was a big concern about how in the world it had jumped the border because we have such stringent biosecurity facilities," said Dr. Terry Fonstad, an associate professor and the associate dean of research and partnerships in the college of engineering at the University of Saskatchewan.
"It turned out, they think, that the vector for the transfer was livestock trailers. Although they're being washed and cleaned, just the sheer way that they're designed leaves enough little nooks, crannies and pieces that you cannot get at," he said to Farms.com.
Fonstad's team investigated whether trailers could be effectively cleaned using a hydrovac – which is a combination of a pressure washer and high-powered vacuum, he explained.
"And then, could we make a robot do that," he added.
Graduate students at the university and researchers at the Prairie Swine Centre (PSC) and the Vaccine and Infectious Disease Organization (VIDO) investigated what methods would kill pathogens. The scientists determined that the most resilient swine pathogens died when heated to 75 C for 20 minutes, Fonstad said.
Now, project collaborators are working on the practicalities of applying this knowledge in the industry.
"We're in between discovery and commercialization," he said. The next phase "is about partnering with hydrovac pressure wash, and robotics people."
Researchers are testing the effectiveness of the hydrovac wash followed by "baking" the trailers to the correct temperature for the right amount of time.
"VIDO is going to do field trials to make sure for CFIA and others that this heating of trailers is actually going to (ensure) good biosecurity," Fonstad said. The researchers will use proxy bacteria for field trials so no risk exists of an accidental breakout.
Fonstad and his team are interested in the sterilization process itself, but also in improved trailer design for cleanability and welfare. They also prioritized verification and traceability of swine transport.
"I want to make sure I track those trailers," he said. "I want sensors in that trailer that tell me all the hard-to-heat spots got to the right temperature."
Transport Genie and Be Seen Be Safe are Guelph, Ont.-based companies that are designing sensors that track the surface temperature of the metal during baking and the temperature and humidity in the pig spaces during transport, Fonstad explained.
PSC researchers are contributing design insights to improve animal welfare during transit.
The project is unique in the depth of collaboration between agricultural, engineering, academic, and industry partners.
"We're trying to do the academics required to support the industry needs, and work with the people who are supplying the solutions," Fonstad said. A major contribution came from "our industry advisory group across Canada. We meet twice a year in Winnipeg. They've helped guide the research, which has helped us as researchers and developers not to misstep so much."
The team continues to collaborate with the goal of product commercialization to help the industry.
"It's all about biosecurity, safety of our food supply and economics," he said.
