U2 Biography
The band U2 formed in the late 1970's, when Larry Mullen, Jr., still in high school, posted a notice on a public board seeking other musicians with whom to start a band. Paul Hewson ("Bono"), Adam Clayton, Dick Evans, and David Evans ("the Edge") responded and they came together to form a band called the Feedback. The Feedback became the Hype in 1977, but after Dick Evans left to join another band, the musicians settled on the name U2.
By the end of the decade, U2 had garnered the attention of a local manager, and in 1979, U2 released their debut album, titled U2 Three. The album topped the charts, but only in Ireland, where it was available, and while the band appreciated the success in their homeland, they struggled to gain the same level of attention in England and abroad. The single "Another Day," released in 1980, changed all that for the band, however and they found themselves with a contract under Island Records, and a new debut album, Boy, this time properly released. U2 began touring as a supporting act for other successful bands, and Boy finally climbed into the Top 100 of the American charts in the following year. October came next, and the album would become their breakthrough in Britain, reaching nearly into the Top 10. The singles "I Will Follow" and "Gloria" found heavy airplay on MTV in the early part of the decade, and set the stage for their next album.
War (1983) would prove to be the international breakthrough for U2, rising to the top of the charts in both Europe and America. With its strong political message, War's hits such as "Sunday Bloody Sunday" and "New Year's Day" rocketed U2 to superstardom, making the band one of the most popular in the world. The Unforgettable Fire duplicated the success, especially with the chart topping "(Pride) In the Name of Love," and for the rest of the next decade and beyond, U2 would release a string of critically acclaimed and commercially successful albums and singles, such as: The Joshua Tree, Rattle & Hum, Achtung Baby, Zooropa, Pop, "With or Without You," "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For," "Mysterious Ways" and "One." ??
In the new millennium, U2 has continued to release successful albums, including All That You Can't Leave Behind (2000), which earned Grammys for the songs "Walk On" and "Beautiful Day." Also released in the past decade include the albums How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb (2004), another Grammy Award winner, and No Line on the Horizon (2009.) In addition, U2's 2009 tour featured one of the most elaborate and largest concert stage configurations ever seen. The complexity paid off, and the tour became one of most commercially successful of the decade.
U2 was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2005, and to date the band has released twelve studio albums and sold more than one hundred and fifty million records worldwide. U2 has been recognized with more than twenty Grammys so far, and ranks at number twenty-two on Rolling Stone's list of 100 Greatest Artists of All Time. U2 is also politically active, especially in the areas of human rights, and has contributed to such notable philanthropic organizations as Amnesty International, ONE/DATA, Music Rising, and Product Red. U2 continues to perform and tour, and has plans for new album releases in the future.

Chef Julien Tongourian is currently the Chef de Cuisine (Executive Chef) of Robuchon au Dôme at Grand Lisboa in Macau, a Three Michelin-Starred restaurant and aslo the highest rated French restaurant in the Greater China region. In a recent interview with Chef Julien, he shared with Delta Bridges of his amazing experience at Robuchon au Dôme.
Delta Bridges: Robuchon au Dôme is one of the top restaurants in Asia. Honored, 9 years in a roll as a 3 Michelin Starred restaurant. What is your secret in achieving such a success.
Chef Julien Tongourian: I think that success is not earning 3 Michelin Stars but making people happy – making customers happy. It's making them discover an experience in a French high-standard restaurant and I think that's what makes people happy. Performing excellence is either due to the service or the cooking. This is the reason why Michelin guide rewards us three stars.
DB: What is "Fine Dining"? Do you think what Michelin Guide sees as "Fine Dining" matched your definition? Why?
JT: The fine dining restaurant status or stars that we have been awarded is due to our choice of products. We select the best products and the freshest products. We have elaborated recipes, an orchestrated service to perfection, a ballet between the kitchen and the dining area and we continue discovering flavors while playing with textures in the dishes. Our plates need to be nicely set, very precise and most importantly we highlight the product. We really have awesome products, either French or products we can find in Asia, mostly in Japan and few locally. We choose the freshest to make our own cooking – our French cuisine. I think that if we have been awarded 3 stars, it's precisely for the fine dining. This level of excellence gives us precision in work, by all the efforts we make daily to give the best of ourselves, either for lunch or for dinner.
JT: The French cuisine is a cooking of sharing, a cooking of tradition. It's our previous chefs that transmitted us this expertise, so yes, I think that Chinese and Asians in general have the same codes. However, I think that it's more than that now. It's really a question of sharing and excellence of our cooking, of achieving the perfect cooking and seasoning. This represents the French cuisine.
JT: I think that our cooking is close to Chinese cooking regarding the fact that there are several regions and similar techniques, but different recipes. Mr. Robuchon is from Poitou-Charentes and he loves using products from his region such as the butter tassel that we use in our dishes for our clients on a daily basis. Also, recipes like the "Couteaux Royal Hare", which is an emblematical recipe of Mr. Robuchon and a traditional recipe in Poitou-Charentes. Mr. Robuchon doesn't follow a specific cooking. He uses products that belong to his region which is Poitou-Charentes, such as the butter, but his cooking follows an international inspiration according to the places where he has travelled. Basically, it's a typical French cuisine but with added inspiration from his trips.
DB: Can you introduce three signature dishes from Robuchon au Dôme?
JT: In summer, so now we have millefeuille with crab and tomato, which is a millefeuille with tomato slices. We peel the tomato, take out the seeds and it is only plum tomato with crab, seasoned with curry, potato and avocado and watercress. The dish is set in layers with a striped tomato coulis. This is a dish we serve during summer. A dish that really reflects winter is black truffle. For Mr. Robuchon, the truffle pie, which is a pie with a fine dough, very crunchy, with stewed onions, bacon and truffle slices, well-seasoned and quickly baked. This is another winter dish for Mr. Robuchon. Now, we have a signature dish by Mr. Robuchon which is beef and foie gras prepared following the Rossini way. It's foie gras and beef cooked at the same time which we present afterwards in a nice box, smoked at the last minute with beech sawdust.
DB: How to become a successful Chef like you? Can you share some of your life stories?
JT: For me, success involves a lot of work, self-denial and self-examination on an ongoing basis. I must be here every day to listen to my clients, daily, noon and night. I go to the dining area and consider my clients' appreciations, get to know if my clients are happy or not with my work. If I have a new dish, I must know if they have any comments. Basically, it's knowing my clients feedback and putting myself into question every day. It's a daily work and we have two services per day, so that's two self-examinations a day – morning and evening. This is what really makes a good chef or not! But personally, I think that I loved cooking from an early age, I have known that I wanted to become a cook since I was seven. When I was younger, we used to go to a little restaurant to celebrate family birthdays in the city where I used to live and once when I was seven the chef took me to see the kitchen. When we left I told my parents that I wanted to be a restaurant owner.


Bishop's Stortford-based firm Chip & PIN Solutions Ltd, a UK leading provider of card payment services, supports Cub Scouts football finals.
With budgets tight for the local Cub Scout packs football final, things were looking a little grim for the location of the event. That is until local business Chip & PIN Solutions Ltd stepped in and sponsored the event. The competition takes place every year throughout the football season and finals are held in April, but this year, through sponsorship, the finals took place at Woodside Park the home of Bishop's Stortford FC.
In a well-filled stadium the top 4 of the league played 2 semi-finals. In the first semi-final Saxon Orange drew with Viking White 1-1. Penalties had to bring an outcome with Saxon Orange winning 3-2. The second semi-final brought a win for Apache, beating Viking Blue 1-0. Both matches were close battles with a lot of goalmouth excitement.
After the semi-finals, Mohican and Saxon Blue played for the Chip & Pin Wooden Spoon Cup. Both packs were bottom of the league. Saxon Blue won with a 5-1 victory.
The last game of the night was the Chip & Pin Cubs Cub final between Apache and Saxon Orange. Like the league matches between them, this was a very competitive game. In the end the league winners Apache won 2-1.
John Turner of Bishops Stortford FC said "It was a very successful evening".

"Actually, I am looking at it. You know, a lot of people have come to me," said the Long Island Republican, who seems to have reconsidered an August announcement that he was abandoning such a bid. But he remains a little unsure. "To do that, I have to give up the House. I'd have to run all over the state for the next year, when I couldn't be doing much work on homeland security. And I'd have to raise about $30 or $40 million. Maybe to you that's chump change, but to me, that's more than a few bucks," he told Mr. Imus.
But Peter, running for office means you get to be in front of cameras all the time. Surely that means something, too!

UVU's Civil, Computer, Electrical, Mechanical, and Software Engineering Programs Receive Accreditation
Utah Valley University now offers five engineering programs — civil, computer, electrical, mechanical, and software engineering — that are accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission (EAC) of ABET.
UVU's construction management program also received accreditation by the Applied and Natural Science Accreditation Commission (ANSAC) of ABET, and the computer science, information systems, and information technology programs were re-accredited by the Computing Accreditation Commission (CAC) of ABET. In total, UVU now offers nine ABET-accredited programs.
The announcement of the accreditations comes at a critical time when there is an acute demand for more engineers, computer scientists, and construction managers in Utah. Last year, Utah universities together produced more than 3,000 engineers and computer scientists, but there remained approximately 4,000 unfulfilled positions across Utah's workforce. Construction companies are also struggling to find employees to keep up with the ever-increasing need for qualified managers to oversee Utah's continued building expansion.
"One of UVU's long-term strategies is to educate and prepare graduates to meet Utah's workforce needs," said Astrid S. Tuminez, president, Utah Valley University. "From now until 2028, experts project that Utah will need more than 3,600 new engineers per year. UVU's new engineering and computer science programs were designed to help support that need. Since introducing our newest engineering programs (civil, mechanical, and electrical) in 2018, we've seen a 144.33% increase in engineering graduates at UVU."
According to a recent study by the Kem C. Gardner Institute, Utah County's population is projected to reach 1.6 million by 2065 and will almost mirror Salt Lake County's population — 28% of the state's population will live in Utah County.
The study projects 576,000 jobs will be added in Utah County and increase its share of total state employment from 17% to 24% of all state jobs. One-third of the state's new jobs are projected to be in Utah County.
"To be job-ready, the engineering, computer science, and technology graduates of the future must possess not only a good grasp of fundamentals, but they must also be innovative, ethical, good team members, have good communication skills, and exhibit a good understanding of global issues," said Saeed Moaveni, dean of UVU's College of Engineering and Technology. "What sets our programs apart from other engineering and technology programs is our hands-on, real-world approach to engineering and technology education, and encouraging our students to apply and test their practical knowledge against others in professional settings and competitions."

1928 "Lucky Lindy" Candy Box
Sold For: $529
Category: Non-Sports Cards/Sheets/Card Artwork
Exceedingly rare Lucky Lindy candy box issued by the American Novelty Candy Company of Brooklyn, New York, in 1928. This box, which was obviously designed to capitalize on the fame and popularity of Charles Lindbergh following his historic nonstop solo flight over the Atlantic in 1927, is one of the most novel candy containers we have ever seen. After the candy was eaten, the box could be opened up and reassembled into a cardboard toy airplane resembling the Spirit of St. Louis . Lindbergh was a U. S. Air Mail pilot at the time of his incredible achievement and the printing on the plane pays homage to his occupation by reading "Candy Air Mail." A copyright date of 1928 is printed within the design of one of the plane's wheels. Based upon the fact that the illustrated pilot bears little resemblance to Lindbergh, and that Lindbergh's name, other than his nickname, is not specifically mentioned, we can assume that Lindbergh received no royalties from this product. In that way, it is very similar to the more famous "Baby Ruth" candy bars that "just happened" to hit the market after Babe Ruth's rise to national fame. This is the first example of this extremely rare candy box we have ever seen, and we cannot imagine a finer example could possibly exist. The offered box was never sealed and was obviously saved as a sample in the files of the printer or the candy company (a five-digit identification number, written in pencil, appears on one of the interior panels). As such, it remains in extraordinary condition, all the more so given its age, complex design, intended use, and fragile nature. Aside from two small filing holes located, respectively, on the top and bottom flaps, the box is in Near Mint condition. Measures 6.5 x 7.75 inches, flat. Reserve $200. Estimate (open). SOLD FOR $529

In the race to win brands' advertising dollars, social media networks are pushing out updates faster than consumers can hit like, retweet or pin.
In the last few weeks alone, Pinterest improved its guided search, Twitter offered group messaging and Facebook cleaned up its newsfeed (again). Website Magazine details these many updates in our Social Media Mavens channel as well in our new feature, Social Snapshot. To help brands stay even further abreast of what they need to do to make the most of their social pages and efforts, here are four social media updates to make right now.
There are over 200 factors that influence how your site will appear in the organic search results. Some of them have a small influence while others play a major role in the ranking process. Today we are going to talk about 5 factors that can make a significant difference in how you well your website performs in Google.
With more than 200 million monthly active users, 60 million images shared daily, and 1.6 billion daily "likes," Instagram is growing at an astonishing rate and crushing the alternatives when it comes to brand engagement. According to one study from Forrester, Instagram delivers 58 times more engagement per follower than Facebook and 120 times more than Twitter. The opportunities on Instagram are simply too good to ignore.

Apple is fighting Russia's decision to let developers promote alternative payments
By Ryan Daws | 6th December 2021 | TechForge Media
Categories: App Stores, Developer, iOS, Platforms,
Apple is requesting a judicial review of Russia's decision that developers must be allowed to promote alternative payment options.
In August, the country's Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS) issued a warning to Apple that clause 3.1 of the App Store Guidelines – which prohibits iOS app developers from informing in-app users about the possibility to pay for their purchases outside the App Store – breaches Russian antimonopoly legislation.
FAS gave Apple until 30 September "to terminate abusive conduct".
Apple did not comply with the request and the FAS launched legal proceedings against the company in late October. If found guilty, Apple will face a fine based on its turnover.
The company has faced mounting criticism over its iron-clad hold over the App Store. Apple has been accused by regulators and developers of abusing its market position to take a substantial cut of profits.
In 2020, the App Store is expected to have generated sales of around $64 billion.
Last year, Apple reduced its cut of purchases – including in-app purchases – from 30 percent to 15 percent for the vast majority of developers as part of its 'Small Business Program'.
While it's an improvement, many developers still argue that it's an unjustifiable cut of their work. Regulators, for their part, are concerned that the costs are being passed on to consumers.
Apple's spat with Epic Games over Fortnite has gained the majority of headlines about the issue. Apple banned Fortnite from the App Store after Epic Games was found to be offering a discount for items bought off the platform where Apple couldn't take a cut.
In the US, a similar ruling in September gave Apple 90 days to allow third-party developers to promote alternative payment methods. Apple filed an injunction requesting more time – to enable all appeals in the Apple vs Epic case to pan out – but was denied.
However, even if purchases take place away from the App Store, it appears that Apple plans to charge a commission if the transaction started in-app:
What I've come to assume is now in black and white in this filing from Apple: If the injunction goes into effect, Apple seems likely to charge a commission on any transactions that start in the app, even if they are completed on the web. https://t.co/GVoEhiQbFS pic.twitter.com/uyXjAmM1uD
— David Barnard (@drbarnard) December 2, 2021
In its attempt to delay implementing the decision, Apple also notes the "substantial engineering" that it says will be required to support third-party payment systems and features like restoring purchases. However, Apple already supports third-party payment systems in some cases.
Following an agreement reached with the Japan Fair Trade Commission to close its own App Store investigation, Apple agreed to let developers link to external websites for in-app purchases. However, it was limited to just "reader" apps like Spotify, Netflix, and others.
"We have great respect for the Japan Fair Trade Commission and appreciate the work we've done together, which will help developers of reader apps make it easier for users to set up and manage their apps and services, while protecting their privacy and maintaining their trust," said Phil Schiller, Apple Fellow with oversight of the App Store.
At this point, it feels like Apple is just delaying the inevitable. Apple will continue to argue that keeping purchases in the App Store helps to protect users from fraud, but it doesn't seem likely that alone will convince regulators in Russia, the US, and elsewhere.

The observation of 1,194 finless porpoises made through 11,549 km of sighting cruises in the Inland Sea and some ancillary observations provided the following informations. The porpoise migrates annually to and from the Pacific coast mainly through the two passes at the eastern Inland Sea. The highest density (4,900 individuals) is found in April at the beginning of parturition season, and the lowest (1,600) in early winter. The ratios of solitary adults, of solitary calves, and of cows with calf show seasonal fluctuation, and allow the analyses of the seasonality of reproduction. Gestation last for about 11 months. Parturition occurs between April and August with a possible peak in April and May. Most of the cows with calf born in April and May are suspected to leave the Inland Sea in summer months. Weaning occurs from December to June after a nursing period ranging from 6 to 15 months. Pregnancies in two contiguous years are not frequent. A 2-year breeding cycle seems to be most common. Annual production of about 870 calves (both sexes), and gross annual reproductive rate of 17.9% are provisionally estimated for the individuals in the Inland Sea.

The legal community now has its own platform for sharing anonymous data on cybersecurity threats. The forum, the Legal Services Information Sharing and Analysis Organization, launched this Wednesday and should help the legal industry collaborate on and avoid security threats.
As we are fond of reminding our readers, cybersecurity threats are a major issue, threatening everyone from adulterers to government workers to adulterous government lawyers. Law firms are no exception. Eighty out of the 100 largest U.S. firms have been hacked over the past four years according to a report by cybersecurity consulting firm Mandiant.
The LS-ISAO joins a growing list of information sharing forums directed at specific industries. (These are typically referred to as ISACs, for Information Sharing and Analysis Centers.) There are ISACs for the aviation, defense, oil and gas, and financial industries, among others. Many of these ISACs are privately founded to share information about cyber and physical security threats, though some, such as Water-ISAC, are mandated by Congress.
This February, President Obama issued an executive order to encourage the creation of private sector cybersecurity information sharing platforms across more industries. Information sharing is also central to new bills seeking to improve the nation's cybersecurity defenses.
The LS-ISAO promises to provide news and analysis about potential and existing cybersecurity threats. It was established with the help of the Financial Services ISAC. It has been communicating with over 180 law firms, according to the New York Law Journal, though there's no word on how many firms have signed on. Membership is open to any firm that's primarily based in the U.S., Canada, or the U.K., for $8000 annually, whether it's a behemoth or a solo practice.
Law firms may be especially vulnerable to hacking. Since law firms deal with sensitive information both personal and financial, they're the "perfect target" according to Bloomberg Businessweek. And, while they've been warned by the FBI of cybersecurity risks since 2009, many firms still haven't adopted sufficient cybersecurity protections, leading to even greater risks.
In other words, even if firms are informed of risks, they may not have the capabilities to defend against them. Cybersecurity consultant Daniel Garrie told the New York Law Journal that, unlike large actors in the financial sector and other industries, many firms don't have resources in place to deal with threats. According to Bloomberg, the current strategy of many firms is simply to pick up cybersecurity insurance -- a great way to guard against losses, but not much of a firewall for keeping hackers out in the first place.

Berenson: Take Small Steps Now to Lower Medicare Costs
By MARILYN WERBER SERAFINI, Kaiser Health News
With the 2012 election fast coming into focus, Congress is unlikely to alter seniors' beloved Medicare in any fundamental way. But Congress can, and should, take small but important steps now to lower the cost of the program, says Robert Berenson, a physician, health policy researcher and former Medicare official.
Medicare, which covers 47 million seniors and disabled people, has become a flashpoint in the current federal budget debate. And, while there is general agreement about the need to rein in Medicare spending, which consumed 15 percent of the federal budget in 2010, Democrats and Republicans are at odds over how much to cut, and how to do it.
Already, Republican proposals in the House-passed budget resolution have proven unpopular with seniors -- a voting bloc that neither party wants to anger.
In a recent interview with KHN reporter Marilyn Werber Serafini, Berenson outlined several ideas for reducing Medicare spending that don't involve full restructuring of the program but would, he says, help hold at bay the "dire projections" for Medicare's future and buy enough time to figure out how to make accountable care organizations work. His list includes making Medicare more evidence-based in terms of the treatments it covers and determining whether some physician specialties could be paid less. Edited excerpts follow.
Q: Does lowering Medicare spending have to mean fewer benefits and larger costs for seniors and the disabled?
A: There's plenty to do in Medicare that is not about rationing. It's about identifying areas where the program is being abused and going after them. So that means looking at places that spend 10 times more than the average on home health care or hospice care. In some cases, the providers might be innocent, and in some cases, I'm sure it is fraudulent behavior. The Government Accountability Office has identified all kinds of opportunities in that area alone.
Video: Berenson On Controlling Medicare Costs
Watch The Urban Institute's Robert Berenson talk about controlling Medicare costs.
Q: Should physicians be paid less?
A: Some physicians in Medicare are paid $450,000. A lot of [them] would like to [earn] $500,000, so they are not happy to see payment cuts. But if we have a difficult budget problem, do we want to fundamentally change Medicare or do we want to identify some specialties that perhaps could get a little bit less?
Q: Should Congress be charged with making these decisions, as they do now?
A: A major problem is that every time you cut somebody's spending or adopt a new approach to identify overspending, you get somebody who's upset and we have not had a political system that can accommodate that. That's why there is an independent commission or independent board in the law with the view that the Congress is not really able to support those kinds of decisions on its own.
Q: You have said that Medicare spends too much on some services that utilize new technology. Are cutbacks merited?
A: Medicare approves coverage of new technology and pays for it often without any evidence that the new technology is helpful to anybody [or] is better than what already exists. And yet [treatments] frequently -- largely politically driven -- get approved into the program. Not everybody should get a $50,000 cardiac defibrillator. It has specific clinical indications for people who would actually benefit from it. There's a recent article in the Journal of the American Medical Association showing that, about 20 percent of the time, beneficiaries and patients are getting those defibrillators who don't benefit from them. Medicare doesn't have the staff to identify those instances. I know that there's a lot of concern about interfering with doctors' decision-making, but if it's done right, having some requirements that [doctors] follow evidence in treating patients would actually help patients. But right now the Congress doesn't permit Medicare to do much about it all.
Q: The health law encourages the adoption of accountable care organizations, a health care model which would offer financial incentives for doctors, hospitals and other medical providers to better coordinate care. Are they the solution to keeping costs down?
A: We need 10 years to figure out how to make these things work. In the meantime, we've got these other areas. There is plenty of low hanging fruit that can buy us five to 10 years. … If we were able to reduce by 1 percent the growth rate of Medicare spending, all of the dire projections of Medicare eating up the entire budget would have to be redone.
We could go after the fraud, identify services that aren't benefiting patients and not pay for those, or pay a lower rate, and [also] work on the accountable care organizations, which is a long-term reform. There are still a lot of design issues, and ultimately it means a change in the business model and the culture of an organization. That takes longer than a couple of years to accomplish.

Age challenges spark shop abuse
By Christine Boggis
| 29 October, 2010
Threats and verbal abuse against shop workers are on the rise – and a significant proportion of incidents are connected to age-restricted sales.
Preliminary results for shopworkers' union Usdaw's latest survey of retail crime, from July to September 2010, found there had been a "significant increase" in threats and abuse, reports of verbal abuse had risen to 70% from 62% the year before, and 6% of workers reported physical assaults – the same number as last year.
Speaking at the Association of Convenience Stores' crime prevention forum last week, Usdaw's Doug Russell said abuse against shop staff had been on a downward trend until 2009 – but seemed to be rising again this year.
He said: "Verbal abuse is a far more common problem [than physical abuse] and has a serious effect on individuals. Nearly half of those verbal incidents were associated with age-restricted sales."?The ACS has set up a reward fund to help catch people who commit violent crime against retailers. People who call Crimestoppers with information that leads to a conviction in cases of serious violent crime in shops could collect a reward of up to £50,000.
The fund has been provided by ACS members, and is part of a commitment to raise community awareness of the violence shop workers experience.
ACS chief executive James Lowman said: "Serious incidents against retailers must never go unpunished. We are proud to launch this reward scheme. We hope it will never have to be used, but if it does, the industry will stand together and help to bring the perpetrator to justice."?Home Office minister James Broken-shire, who spoke at the forum, said: "Retail staff deserve to work in a safe environment. We recognise the cost and disruption crime causes business and we know retailers are already doing their bit to help reduce crime.
This initiative is a great example of an industry pulling together in partnership with the police and the voluntary sector to make a difference."
Grocery benevolent charity Caravan has launched a helpline for shop workers who are victims of violent crime. The free helpline, 08088 02 11 22, also offers advice on welfare issues and other problems.

Abstract: Hearing loss is an increasing problem for a substantial number of people and, with an aging population, the incidence and severity of hearing loss will become more significant over time. There are very few therapies currently available to treat hearing loss, and so the development of new therapeutic strategies for hearing impaired individuals is of paramount importance to address this unmet clinical need. Most forms of hearing loss are progressive in nature and therefore an opportunity exists to develop novel therapeutic approaches to slow or halt hearing loss progression, or even repair or replace lost hearing function. Numerous emerging technologies have potential as therapeutic options. This paper details the potential of cell- and gene-based therapies to provide therapeutic agents to protect sensory and neural cells from various insults known to cause hearing loss; explores the potential of replacing lost sensory and nerve cells using gene and stem cell therapy; and describes the considerations for clinical translation and the challenges that need to be overcome.

Vince Cable has been stripped of his responsibilities for overseeing media, telecom and broadcasting companies after being secretly recorded by The Daily Telegraph boasting that he had "declared war" on Rupert Murdoch, the media tycoon.
Cameron punishes Tories, but lets Cable go free. Why?
The Business Secretary indicated that he would seek to block Mr Murdoch's News Corporation from taking over BSkyB, the satellite broadcaster that he already partially owns.
In an emergency statement issued last night, Downing Street said that a large part of Mr Cable's responsibilities would now be transferred to Jeremy Hunt, the Culture Secretary. The Liberal Democrat minister was also severely reprimanded.
In a statement, a Downing Street spokesman said: "Following comments made by Vince Cable to The Daily Telegraph, the Prime Minister has decided that he will play no further part in the decision over News Corporation's proposed takeover of BSkyB.
"In addition, all responsibility for competition and policy issues relating to media, broadcasting, digital and telecoms sectors will be transferred immediately to the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport.
"The Prime Minister is clear that Mr Cable's comments were totally unacceptable and inappropriate."
More than 70 Whitehall officials who work on media and telecom policy for the Business Department will be moved to work for Mr Hunt from today.
In a separate statement, Mr Cable said: "I fully accept the decision of the Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Minister. I deeply regret the comments I made and apologise for the embarrassment that I have caused the Government."
The disclosure about Mr Murdoch was the second revelation in extracts from a covertly recorded conversation between Mr Cable and two undercover reporters from this newspaper posing as Liberal Democrat supporters in his constituency.
The Telegraph's recording was leaked to the BBC before publication in this newspaper.
"You may wonder what is happening with the Murdoch press", Mr Cable said, despite not being asked about the issue. "I have declared war on Mr Murdoch and I think we're going to win".
The Daily Telegraph can also disclose that a second Liberal Democrat minister also privately boasted to the undercover reporters about Mr Cable's role in the BSkyB takeover.
Norman Baker, the transport minister, said: "The reference of Rupert Murdoch, trying to stop him taking over BSkyB, that's come from Vince Cable, that wouldn't have happened without us there."
He added: "We've referred it and that's another thing the Tories are furious about, you know, we've stopped Murdoch taking over BSkyB, or referred it to the competition authorities, that would have never happened under the Tories. They would have just said: 'Here you are Mr Murdoch, how much do you want?'"
Mr Murdoch's attempt to buy outright British Sky Broadcasting (BSkyB) is currently being studied by Ofcom, the communications regulator, who were due to report to Mr Cable before the end of the year. They will now report to Mr Hunt.
As the firm is a media company, competition law stipulates that it must be cleared by the Government. Mr Cable was supposed to impartially judge whether the proposed buyout would harm the plurality of the media, after taking advice from the regulatory authorities.
Telegraph Media Group, the owner of The Daily Telegraph, is among many rival media companies objecting to Mr Murdoch's plans.
However, Mr Cable indicated in the secret recording that he would seek to block the deal on political grounds – which he boasted was one of the benefits of being in Government.
"I didn't politicise it, because it is a legal question, but he [Mr Murdoch] is trying to take over BSkyB, you probably know that," the Business Secretary said. "He has minority shares…And he wants a majority. And a majority-control would give him a massive stake.
"I have blocked it, using the powers that I have got. And they are legal powers that I have got. I can't politicise it, but for the people who know what is happening, this is a big thing. His whole empire is now under attack. So there are things like that, that being in Government…All we can do in opposition is protest."
The comments are likely to infuriate Mr Murdoch whose newspapers were among the staunchest supporters of the Conservative Party in the run-up to the general election.
News Corporation, Mr Murdoch's firm, said it was "shocked and dismayed" by Mr Cable's comments.
Downing Street last night said they took "swift and firm action" in stripping Mr Cable of his responsibility for media business decisions.
The source said: "He will have absolutely nothing to do with media."
At an earlier press conference, The Daily Telegraph had asked Mr Cameron if he was satisfied that Mr Cable was making ministerial decisions in an appropriate and balanced manner.
The Prime Minister said that he was happy with Mr Cable's work on a range of issues he has faced since the Coalition was formed.
After details of Mr Cable's remarks emerged, the Business Secretary spoke first to Nick Clegg, the Deputy Prime Minister, and his Lib Dem party leader and expressed his sorrow for the comments. He then had a conversation with Mr Cameron.
According to a No10 source both men were of the same opinion – "not a cigarette paper between them" – that Mr Cable had gone far further than was acceptable.
The senior source explained: "It is one thing to talk about the Coalition in far from flattering terms but the nature of these comments about such a serious issue were a totally different ball game."

Die Cohors II Alpinorum [equitata] () war eine römische Auxiliareinheit. Sie ist durch Militärdiplome, Inschriften und Ziegelstempel belegt. In der Inschrift () wird sie als Cohors II Alpina bezeichnet.

Namensbestandteile
 Alpinorum: der Alpenbewohner. Die Soldaten der Kohorte wurden bei Aufstellung der Einheit aus den Volksstämmen rekrutiert, die in den Alpen rings um die röm. Provinz Gallia cisalpina siedelten.

 equitata: teilberitten. Die Einheit war ein gemischter Verband aus Infanterie und Kavallerie. Der Zusatz kommt in der Inschrift () vor.

Da es keine Hinweise auf den Namenszusatz milliaria (1000 Mann) gibt, war die Einheit eine Cohors (quingenaria) equitata. Die Sollstärke der Kohorte lag bei 600 Mann (480 Mann Infanterie und 120 Reiter), bestehend aus 6 Centurien Infanterie mit jeweils 80 Mann sowie 4 Turmae Kavallerie mit jeweils 30 Reitern.

Geschichte

Die Kohorte war in den Provinzen Illyricum und Pannonia (in dieser Reihenfolge) stationiert. Sie ist auf Militärdiplomen für die Jahre 60 bis 163 n. Chr. aufgeführt.

Der erste Nachweis der Einheit in der Provinz Illyricum beruht auf einem Diplom, das auf das Jahr 60 datiert ist. Die Kohorte hielt sich danach möglicherweise während der Regierungszeit von Vespasian (69–79) in der Provinz Germania auf.

Zu einem unbestimmten Zeitpunkt wurde die Einheit in die Provinz Pannonia verlegt. Der erste Nachweis in Pannonia beruht auf einem Diplom, das auf das Jahr 84 datiert ist. In dem Diplom wird die Kohorte als Teil der Truppen (siehe Römische Streitkräfte in Pannonia) aufgeführt, die in der Provinz stationiert waren. Weitere Diplome, die auf 102 bis 163 datiert sind, belegen die Einheit in derselben Provinz (bzw. ab 110 in Pannonia inferior und ab 126 in Pannonia superior).

Der letzte Nachweis der Kohorte beruht auf der Inschrift (), die auf 222/235 datiert wird.

Standorte
Standorte der Kohorte in Pannonia waren möglicherweise:
 Ad Flexum (Mosonmagyaróvár)
 Cirpi (Dunabogdány): Mehrere Inschriften wurden hier gefunden.
 Mursa (Osijek): Der Grabstein von Velagenus Ulattius wurde hier gefunden.
 Quadrata (Lébény): Ziegel mit dem Stempel COH II A () wurden hier gefunden.

Ziegel mit dem Stempel COH II ALP () wurden in Baratfold gefunden.

The family says Davis won the science fair and is moving on to district. Ace Davis used a simple tri-fold poster board for his deep dive into the same question, which won the Millcreek Elementary science fair.
While working with his father, Chris Davis, Ace endeavored to scientifically prove that Tom Brady is a cheater and undeserving of the money and accolades that have been showered upon him.
Pictures of the boy's trifold have gone viral, showing his hypothesis and title "Is Tom Brady a Cheater?"
NFL fans will remember the controversy over the game, which accused Brady of using under inflated footballs during the championship game.
Ace gave an interview to NFL Draft Diamonds on his project.
Brady wasn't the only Patriot to draw Davis's ire.
"The Patriots were found guilty of doctoring footballs, thus losing $1,000,000.00 and future draft picks". The Facebook post has been shared more than 5,000 times. Though Brady denied involvement and fought a legal battle against the league, the NFL suspended him for four games the following season.
Ace's favorite National Football League team, by the way, is the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. "At 6'6" and 268 pounds, the 29-year-old tight end is extremely tough to bring down and with a quarterback like Tom Brady, Gronk is able to haul in a ton of catches.
But, Davis, who is also a quarterback, wasn't satisfied with the punishment and set out to solve the mystery - once his dad gave him the idea for the project.
Meanwhile, he's preparing to take his project to the state science competition.
Brady and Patriots will face the Los Angeles Rams next week for the National Football League title.
He said Brady would play "terrible" and throw three interceptions, predicting a 30-14 Rams victory.

Q: How can I know if a post of a facebook page is an ad or not? Are the ads in Facebook considered as posts , is there a way to distinguish organic
posts from Ads ?

A: Some type of ads like unpublished page posts are ads considered "posts".
Usually, non-serving posts on the Page are used to create ads in the News Feed that will not appear on your Page.
Visually, in the news feed, you see as "sponsored post".
Using the API (https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/v2.9/post), you can distinguish the posts using the field "is_published", that returns 'false' for page posts created as part of the Ad Creation process.
I hope it helped you.

We all want the best for our children and looking after their feet is no exception. Your child's feet are of major importance in all their actions, and any problems are best detected early to prevent more serious foot complications later in life. Seeing a children's podiatrist may be recommended, but there are also things that you can do to encourage your child's foot health and development throughout their early life.
It's best to keep your baby's feet unconstrained to give your baby the best opportunity to kick freely, and to encourage development of muscles in the legs and feet. Your baby's clothing should always be kept loose around their feet. It's also a good idea to let your baby go barefoot as much as possible, as babies learn to gain control and use of their feet through feeling. Massaging your baby's feet is another a great activity at this age.
When your child starts walking (usually between 10 and 24 months of age), allow them to go barefoot or to just wear socks as much as possible. This will help improve sensation in their feet, encourage grasping action of their toes, and promote normal foot growth. You may notice variations in the walking styles of toddlers. In many cases, children who walk with their feet pointed inward (in-toeing) or outward (out-toeing) will outgrow these walking styles. However unusual walking patterns may persist and if you have any concerns it is recommended that you take your child to see a podiatrist. Tip-toe walking (where a child walks on their toes) is not a normal variation and if you notice this walking pattern in your child, review by a podiatrist should be arranged.
As your child develops and enters the school years, their feet will grow rapidly. One of the most important things you can do for your child's feet during this developmental stage is to frequently check your child's foot size, and make sure their shoes and socks are the right size to accommodate their feet. (Check our this video for tips on fitting school shoes).
As your child begins to participate in more sports and physical activity, you may notice complaints of other symptoms such as heel pain, tired legs, or coordination difficulties. However, childhood foot problems do not always cause symptoms and it can be difficult for parents to detect issues.
Podiatrists are able to provide treatment for a range of children's conditions and if you have any concerns about your child's feet or walking it's best to make an appointment for professional assessment and advice.
To make an appointment to see a Children's Podiatrist in Brisbane, Moreton Bay, Logan or the Gold Coast, call Entire Podiatry on 1800-4-ENTIRE (that's 1800-4-368473), or contact one of our 9 clinic locations directly.

Galaxy S5 Developer Edition on Verizon Now Available for $599
Kellen May 5, 2014 @iamkellex 50
We first reported that a Galaxy S5 Developer Edition for Verizon was on its way after a listing for the device went live on Samsung's site back in early April. Unfortunately, we had no information to provide on when the phone would be available, but assumed it would only take a couple of weeks. Over the weekend, the "Coming soon!" sign changed to "Add to cart," meaning it's now available.
For $599 off-contract, the tinkerers in the building can pick-up Samsung's 2014 "regular" flagship phone as a Developer Edition. The phone should come with an unlockable bootloader, giving you the freedom all Android phones should include out of the box, but don't, because carriers and their partners loathe you. OK, that's somewhat of an exaggeration, but you know what I mean.
The listing for the phone is a bit odd, though, as there is no price listed until you add it to your cart. Once in your cart, you can see the full $599 price, along with a mini-questionnaire about your developer ways.
The phone is exactly the same as the model sold directly through Verizon stores in terms of specs, the only difference is again, that unlockable bootloader.
Interested in picking one up?
Samsung Link ($599)
