Camp Hard Rock
Representatives of Hard Rock New England, a local subsidiary of Hard Rock International, the global company vying to build a destination casino resort on the grounds of the Big E in West Springfield, recently announced plans for a first-ever two-day summer music camp. The event, in partnership with the Fender Music Foundation, is limited to the first 150 participants, ages 9 to 16, with intermediate to advanced musical interest. The camp will take place on Aug. 14 and 15 at West Springfield High School. Pictured amid guitars and drum sets are Annie Balliro, senior director of brand philanthropy, and Tim Maland, president of Hard Rock Hotel & Casino New England. Maland explained that the two days will offer music classes, workshops, jam sessions, and a special open-to-the-public performance on Aug. 15 at 6 p.m., directed by Dan Lavery, a two-time Grammy nominee and a past performer with the bands Tonic and The Fray. Proceeds from the $20 tuition will support music-education initiatives in West Springfield and Western Mass.
Big Relief
In response to the massive destruction from recent tornadoes in parts of Oklahoma, Big Y World Class Markets hosted a special in-store customer and employee donation program in all Massachusetts and Connecticut stores. Including additional support from Big Y, a total of $40,000 was raised, which will be utilized by American Red Cross chapters in both Massachusetts and Connecticut in support of ongoing relief efforts in those devastated Midwest communities. Pictured at the formal check presentation on June 26 are, from left, Rick Lee, director of the American Red Cross Pioneer Valley Chapter; Donald D'Amour, CEO of Big Y Foods; and Mark Brinkerhoff, director of Community Support for the American Red Cross Pioneer Valley Chapter.
Awash in Innovation
By BusinessWest Staff October 20, 2015


The disciples of John were anxious to know why Jesus' followers did not fast as the Pharisees did. Fasting played a large part in Jewish tradition and it seemed strange that the disciples of a religious teacher did not practise this custom. Jesus was not opposed to fasting - in fact He saw the need for it in His own life - but He wanted to remind people of its true purpose.
We have the same definite choice that Moses gave to his people. If they loved God and followed His commandments they would have life; if they turned their back on Him the result would be death. The reward which was promised to them was the land of Israel where they would live in safety and prosperity.

Millions of cancers 'caused by infection'
9 May, 2012 By The Press Association
Bacteria, viruses and parasites cause around two million cases of cancer in the world each year, experts believe.
Of the 7.5 million global deaths from cancer that occurred in 2008, an estimated 1.5 million may have been due to potentially preventable or treatable infections.
Scientists carried out a statistical analysis of cancer incidence to calculate that around 16% of all cancers diagnosed in 2008 were infection-related. The proportion of cancers linked to infection was three times higher in developing than in developed countries.
Key cancer-causing infectious agents include human papillomavirus (HPV), the gastric bug Helicobacter pylori and the hepatitis B (HBV) and C viruses.
These four were together believed to be responsible for 1.9 million cases of cancer, mostly gastric, liver and cervical cancers.
Cervical cancer accounted for around half of infection-related women's cancers. In men, more than 80% of infection-related cancers affected the liver, stomach and colon.
Study lead authors Dr Catherine de Martel and Dr Martyn Plummer, from the International Agency for Research on Cancer in Lyon, France, wrote in The Lancet Oncology journal: "Infections with certain viruses, bacteria, and parasites are one of the biggest and preventable causes of cancer worldwide … Application of existing public-health methods for infection prevention, such as vaccination, safer injection practice, or antimicrobial treatments, could have a substantial effect on future burden of cancer worldwide."
<http://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS1470-2045> (12)70137-7/fulltext (The Lancet, doi: 10.1016/S1470-2045(12)70137-7)
New male-focused HPV vaccine campaign for Wales
A new human papillomavirus vaccination programme for men who have sex with men will be introduced in Wales, it has been announced.
Challenges and issues in managing hepatitis C
Practitioners need to identify those most at risk of hepatitis C virus infection and encourage them to access diagnostic and support services and treatment.
Study backs multi-disciplinary cancer team approach
Survival rates for women who have undergone surgery for breast cancer are improved if decisions are made as part of a healthcare team, including nurses, rather than an individual doctor, according to a new study.
Australian hospitals show worth of handwashing campaigns
A national handwashing campaign has helped reduce a key cause of infection in Australia's hospitals and could help other countries do the same, according to researchers.
Re-using tourniquets poses patient safety risk, warn researchers

UN Guiding Principle
HRB Country Guides
By webfronten | 26. November 2017
Action point 11
Ensure better coordination between federal and regional authorities in order to integrate human rights and social responsible entrepreneurship into public aid
Assurer une meilleure coordination entre les autorités fédérales et régionales afin d'intégrer des critères relatifs aux droits de l'Homme et l'entrepreneuriat socialement responsable dans les aides publiques
The NAP explains that Finexpo, an inter-ministerial consultative committee managed by the Administration of Foreign Affairs, studies the files of companies and/or banks requesting public support for an export credit and issues an opinion to the Council of Ministers, which takes the final decision on the granting of the aid. This state intervention allows Belgian companies to carry out projects in developing countries and thus contribute to growth in these countries. The action specifically involves:
"bringing together the various public services to exchange information at regular intervals. A common method for integrating the promotion of human rights and other aspects of social responsibility into the evaluation of applications will also be examined in this context. The method will be based on decisions taken in international fora (eg. OECD) on export credit."
The NAP further states that:
"regarding Finexpo, it will be necessary to modify the official questionnaire… in order to introduce references to the promotion of human rights, and to corporate social responsibilities that go beyond issues on the environmental impact, which are already included in the questionnaire. These references will be based on decisions taken in international fora (eg OECD) on export credit."
Promote state enterprises that are socially responsible
Promouvoir les entreprises publiques socialement responsables
This point briefly mentions the issue of export credits in a citation of the Guiding Principle 4:
"States should take additional steps to protect against human rights abuses by business enterprises that are owned or controlled by the State, or that receive substantial support and services from State agencies such as export credit agencies and official investment insurance or guarantee agencies, including, where appropriate, by requiring human rights due diligence."
The Danish Institute for Human Rights is an independent state-funded institution. Our mandate is to promote and protect human rights and equal treatment in Denmark and abroad.

Great Review of My Book by Chris Mayer at Agora Financial
Posted on January 20, 2012 by Prof Jeff
Chris Mayer, managing editor at Agora Financial and author of Mayer's Special Situations, reviewed my book. Really dead-on accurate I thought. I am reading his book Invest Like a Deal Maker.
The review is reproduced below with his permission:
The Prince of Deals
Prince Alwaleed is one of the world's greatest investors. Born in 1955, he started out as an investor in the late 1970s by opening a small office on a side street in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. He had $30,000. By 1988, Alwaleed was the subject of a Forbes profile. He was 33.
Today, he is one of the richest men in the world, with an estimated net worth of around $20 billion. He controls a vast fortune through Kingdom Holding Co., of which he is the founder, CEO and 95% owner. He has created his fortune through a mix of private and public investments across dozens of industries in over 130 countries.
You can make a good case that he's the No. 2 greatest investor ever behind Warren Buffett. And though I'm getting tired of these kinds of labels, he's been called "the Arabian Warren Buffett." (Buffett, in a metaphorical tipping of the hat, called himself "the Alwaleed of America.") A better nickname comes from Forbes, which called him "the Prince of Deals."
I hadn't given Alwaleed much thought until I read Jeffrey Towson's book over the holidays — What Would Ben Graham Do Now?: A New Value Investing Playbook for a Global Age. Towson and I share a common affinity for the principles and values espoused by Benjamin Graham, often called the father of security analysis.
We are also both taken with the investment menu offered up in the 21st century:
I think my entire generation has gotten lucky. We are the first wave of investors to see the entire world as our opportunity — being equally excited and comfortable in Shanghai, New York, Dubai and Mumbai. It's a thrilling time if you are ambitious. And like many value-focused people, I have fascination (compulsion?) with understanding things as they are. And now there is much more of the world to learn about. Beijing banks. India-U.S. cross-border mergers and acquisitions (M&A). African natural resources. It's all fascinating — and profitable.
I am in full agreement with this worldview. It is a great time to be an investor — at least a certain kind of investor. Which brings us back to Alwaleed.
Towson served as one of Alwaleed's five investment chiefs in Riyadh for almost a decade (2000–09). His tenure with one of the world's greatest dealmakers influenced his thinking at least as much as Graham. "I have found that Graham's concepts are the theoretical anchor for global investing, but Alwaleed's deal history is the Rosetta Stone."
There isn't much out there on Alwaleed. "Alwaleed remains one of the greatest business stories never told," Towson writes. "He created one of the world's largest fortunes but never has undergone much external, independent analysis." Part of this is because he keeps a small circle in Riyadh. According to Towson, there have been only 10 investment staffers in 30 years. Another factor is his home base in Saudi Arabia. Investigative journalism doesn't really exist there, and he's free to operate in relative privacy.
And Towson is not the man who is going to spill the beans on his old boss. "Because I'm a loyal guy," he writes, "you won't read the 'Waleed story' here." That's too bad, because there are enough enticing tidbits about Alwaleed in the book that made me wish he did write the story of Alwaleed. I wanted to know more about him.
Towson himself poses the great question: "How had a pure investor with only two or three staff members built $30,000 into a $22-billion fortune?" That is a question I would be most interested in seeing answered.
Still, as I say, there is enough in the book to make it the best we have on Alwaleed so far. Towson makes the case that Alwaleed is "the world's first private global investor," as he moves easily between nations, a true global tycoon. Towson's book is as much a reflection on the lessons learned while part of Alwaleed's team as it is a reflection on Ben Graham's teachings.
Alwaleed is unique among the great investors because he was the first to come out of an emerging market. When he started in Riyadh, there were no public companies. There was little rule of law and lots of regulatory uncertainty. There was no public market information. Management teams were notoriously unreliable.
Though it sounds awful, this was probably a great place to start for a global investor. It probably has something to do with Alwaleed's comfort investing in virtually any market. I believe the best investors of the 21st century will be those who are equally comfortable in Mumbai as they are in São Paulo. They will be comfortable looking at mines in Ghana one day and hotels in Mongolia the next.
Alwaleed earned much of his early fortune in emerging markets. It was only in the 1980s that Alwaleed seriously invested in developed economies. His most-famous bet was his 1991 investment in troubled Citi. (Is Citi ever not in trouble?) Since then, he's picked up big stakes in Four Seasons, News Corp., Euro Disney, Apple (in 1994!), Saks Fifth Avenue and more. He's the largest foreign investor in the U.S.
Towson also includes an interesting speculation on the situation of the Saudis, which may contribute to Alwaleed's skills. We know the Saudis were lucky that their deserts were full of oil. It gave them immense wealth. But they had little in the way of a domestic market. So they had to become cross-border investors a good 30 years before it was popular. The Saudis also faced many obstacles investing abroad: language differences, cultural gaps and a lack of technical abilities possessed by more-experienced investors in the West.
But they evolved to be successful abroad. Towson includes a section called "Lessons From the Saudis," which is based on his experiences with the Saudis. The first lesson is: "A foreigner and his money are soon parted." When looking at a deal, the Saudis like to ask if all the local investors already passed. In other words, are they the dumb money? If it's such a great thing, how come the locals aren't in on it? Another lesson I like is, "Don't get caught up in geographic strategies." To the Saudis, the world is industry-specific, and their experience teaches that it is more important to be in a good industry than it is to be in a specific place.
Towson includes other tidbits on Alwaleed, such as his work habits. If you visit the Kingdom office, you won't find analysts or traders with Bloomberg terminals. No cubicles. No workrooms. You find the prince behind a desk with several sofas around him and three or four staff members down the hall. He reads — a lot. He meets with people, but only in a very disciplined way. There are no meetings in the hallway or casual drop-ins. He manages his schedule to the minute. Meetings last 10–15 minutes, and you generally get three minutes before the prince interrupts you. And when you leave, there is usually someone else ready to enter.
"There is a machine-like quality to the days," Towson writes. "The process never slows or stops. At nights, the activity shifts to Alwaleed's palace. On weekends, it continues at his desert camp. During vacations and business trips, it continues aboard his Boeing 767, on his yacht or in boardrooms around the world."
It's a never-ending search for ideas. It is an extreme version of a template followed by great investors everywhere. You must love the hunt. And if you continue to apply the same proven techniques, over and over again, time is on your side. "You must become wealthy — if you keep doing it consistently," Towson writes.
The most interesting parts of the book, to me, are the "war stories" about different investments Alwaleed made. They will give you a good feel for what successful deals in emerging markets look like.
Towson advises staying in the trenches and getting out of the clouds. "It really does look different from the ground, as compared with flying over at 30,000 feet," Towson writes. The decisions are also easier, the data more concrete and real, going beyond macro-generalities.
Towson himself is a global investor of this new 21st-century breed.
He writes about how, when putting the book together, he had about $175 million in deals he was looking at: a Swiss water company with concessions in Madagascar, a Libyan construction project, a Saudi small business, Chinese health care projects, a Middle Eastern insurance company and a South Carolina physician home-monitoring company. "And I'm doing this while commuting between New York and Shanghai, where I live; Beijing and Cambridge, where I teach; and Hong Kong and Paris, where I normally stop over for a few days to rest and write."
This is the world of investing in the 21st century. You better get used to it, or you will miss out on some fantastic opportunities.

Never Coming Home (Hardcover)
By Kate M. Williams
The beach read you have been dying for! When ten of America's hottest teenage influencers are invited to an exclusive island resort, things are sure to get wild. But murder isn't what anyone expected. Will anyone survive?
Everyone knows Unknown Island—it's the world's most exclusive destination. Think white sand beaches, turquoise seas, and luxury accommodations. Plus, it's invite only, no one over twenty-one allowed, and it's absolutely free. Who wouldn't want to go?
The mysterious resort launched with a viral marketing campaign, and now the whole world is watching as the mysterious resort opens its doors to the First Ten, the ten elite influencers specifically chosen to be the first to experience everything Unknown Island has to offer. You know them. There's the gamer, the beauty blogger, the rich girl, the superstar, the junior politician, the environmentalist, the DJ, the CEO, the chef, and the athlete.
What they don't know is that they weren't invited to Unknown Island for their following—they were invited for their secrets. Everyone is hiding a deadly one, and it looks like someone's decided it's payback time. Unknown Island isn't a vacation, it's a trap. And it's beginning to look like the First Ten—no matter how influential—are never coming home.

To queue for Battlegrounds, use the Battlegrounds Window in the listed in the Basic Info Window. Players can queue for a game mode alone, or with a party. The player join battlegrounds from anywhere and they will be teleported back to their save point after the match has finished.
All battlegrounds have the same basic set of rules.
The three PVP battlegrounds are Tierra Valley, Flavius, and Kreiger Von Midgard (KVM). Tierra Valley and KVM are single round, and Flavius is best two out of three.
The matches have various player number requirements; enough players must be assembled before matches can begin.
Players must be level 80 or higher in order to sign up with a specific recruiter NPC for Flavius or Tierra. KVM has 3 level divisions 80+, 60-80 and below 60.
After signing up with the specific NPC, players are moved to a special waiting area until the match begins.
Participation in battlegrounds is rewarded with various emblems or points, with the number gained depending on if you win or lose. These emblems or points can be exchanged for various rewards.
When a player dies in Tierra or Flavius match, there is a delay before that player can re-enter the match. If a player dies in KVM match, they have to wait till the match is over.
There are limits in place to participation in battlegrounds. Once you sign up for a battleground, there is a 5 minute delay before you can sign up for another match.
The battlegrounds follow War of Emperium mechanics rather than PVP mechanics.

is also located in the atrium.
The two teams are based on that of two characters: Prince Croix, and General Guillaume, who are battling for control of the Maroll Kingdom.
To play for the Croix team, talk to the Croix Army officers on the South side of the atrium that corresponds to the desired arena.
To play for the Guillaume team, talk to the Guilliaume Army officers on the North side of the atrium that corresponds to the desired arena.
Each team must have the required amount of players, or the battle will not begin. Caution: As there are two Flavius and two Tierra Gorge arenas, it is important to make sure that the participating teams are in the same instance's opposing chatrooms when attempting to participate, or the battle will not start. In the case of KVM, the participants need to make sure that they are within the same level range, as the recruiter NPC automatically transports a player to an appropriate lobby depending on their Base Level.
To talk with your team during the match, use the /battlechat command. All text typed in battlechat will appear purple, and you will only be able to talk to your team when in battlechat. Party, guild, and open chat will not work until battlechat is deactivated.
Two forts are arranged at the north and south end of the map.
Each fort has a storehouse that must be defended, and by destroying the opposing team's store you win the match.
There is a third base at the center of the map. If your team occupies this point, you will be able to spawn here instead of farther back, along with receiving 3 guardians to fight alongside you.
There is a series of back routes that are blocked by barricades. By destroying these barricades your team can gain an advantage.
There is a 25 second wait period for players who are killed in battle until they respawn on the map.
The cooldown period during which a player cannot participate in another Tierra Gorge battle is shown in a player's Quest Window.
The winning team receives 10 Bravery Badges, and the losing team 4.
Victory is obtained by destroying the opposing team's crystal.
The crystal for each team is protected by 2 guardians that must be defeated before the crystal can be attacked.
When the crystal is destroyed, your team gains one point. Your team wins if you obtain two points.
Skills cannot be used on crystals.
The cooldown period during which a player cannot participate in another Flavius battle is shown in a player's Quest Window.
If there is a tie, both teams receive 4 Bravery Badges.
In order to win, one team must reduce the other team's points to 0. In other words, it's a death match battle with survivors being the winners.
Each team starts with 1 point per player on the team.
Each team loses 1 point when a player dies.
Players have 5 minutes to decide the outcome of the match. If one team is not completely victorious after 5 minutes, that with most players standing wins.
After victory or defeat, players will be warped to a spot to collect their rewards and exit the map. This must be done within 30 seconds or the player will be forcibly ejected from the arena.
The winning team receives 5 KVM Badges, while the losing team receives 1 KVM Badge.
Valor Badges and Bravery Badges are the two reward items that can be obtained in battlegrounds. They can be traded in for a variety of different equipment. Tierra Gorge rewards you with Bravery Badges, and Flavius rewards you with Valor Badges. KVM battlegrounds use Reward Points instead of badges.

Introducing to you the latest and most advanced Joomla framework - "Astroid". In Astroid framework, we have included so many exciting features which we always wish to have in other frameworks. Astroid is a revolutionary framework for Joomla that will make developing websites in Joomla! Faster, simpler and incredibly easy for the end user.
The credit goes to our developing team who sacrificed their valuable hours in developing this framework from an idea on paper to a full-fledged Joomla Framework and finally, we all as a team feels proud to introduce it to the world.
What we got? - A wide range of Features! Have a look.
Astroid Framework comes with drag and drop layout builder which enables you to design the layout of your website or template as per your need. You can make the position of each separate modules which you want to add and customize its properties as well.
The page layouts are saved to the database and later displayed in the front end. There is not the need for any advanced technical need to use this, all you need it just a simple information about how this thing works.
We have incorporated the functionality to directly import or export your page layout directly from the layout builder panel. This feature is very much useful when you want to have the same layout for your next website.
A Good UI and UX can help the user to focus on important elements, relieve them of information clutter and make the browsing experience simple and intuitive. Clear fonts and icon designs help the user navigate better.
Designers of the Astroid framework focused on the UI and UX of this framework from the very first day of its development. Each and every part of the Astroid framework from its admin panel, backend and frontend are crafted carefully to give the users a seamless experience.
In 2015, Google rolled out an update stating that now it also take website's mobile responsiveness as a ranking signal. I think this reason alone can justify why responsive design is important.
Astroid Framework allows you to develop fully mobile responsive Joomla templates and website. Along with all this, Astroid Framework follows all the SEO guidelines, to offer you the best SEO optimized Joomla framework and a boost in your SERPs.
Astroid Joomla template Framework is built on the top of the latest version of bootstrap i.e. bootstrap 4. Integrated with advanced and polished Bootstrap 4, Astroid Framework is faster and have responsive layout than any other Joomla Framework out there and of course got all the features of Bootstrap 4.
One of the best features of Astroid framework is that, that all the future updates of Astroid Framework are going to support the latest version of bootstrap available at that time.
We all can't ignore the fact that, Menu is one of the most important things on your website as most of the visitors navigate on your website through this thing only. A Properly categorized menu bar can really help your site visitors and also increase your user engagement to a great extent.
Astroid Framework comes with drag and drop mega menu interface that helps you to manage your menu in any way you want. It works on a grid system so you can add column and rows to design your mega menu easily and easily can insert modules, menu items just by drag and drop features.
You can manage your mega menu by drag and drop the elements from one row to another or left to right.
Astroid enables you to add both mobile and off-canvas menu at the same time. You can publish anything in Off-canvas and which can be trigger always or on the mobile devices where the mobile menu will work on mobile devices only.
Same thing with this but instead of Horizontal Menu Mode, In Stacked Menu Mode your menu items will be stacked along the row in your webpage. This mode also comes with 3 presets which you can choose as per your needs and creativity.
Having multiple header variations allow you to try the format you like the most and can also analyze the engagement factor by testing every available header option.
Yeah, you have heard it right. We are providing you with the option to upload the same or different logo for your website.
Having an appropriate color combination in the website design process is one of the most important factors for having a successful website. A researched by UCLA reveals that people are susceptible on a subconscious level to color impressions and that over 60% of acceptance or rejection of a website is tied to this very fact.
With Astroid, you have the ability to choose and manage your colors for different components/elements from a single place. You don't need to edit or write any custom codes. Simply choose from the color picker and manage your website.
With Astroid framework, you are in the driver seat. You can customize each and every color of the website or template likes background color, body colors, header colors, menu colors, drop down colors, off-canvas color and footer colors. This functionality gives you the freedom and a way to play with your creativity.
If you are using Astroid framework, there is no need of using any other third party extensions for adding custom codes in your website.
We are providing you with the inbuilt functionality with Astroid, which enables you to add your custom codes like tracking code, google webmaster code, analytics code, custom CSS directly into your website with just from one place.
Google factors page load speed in its ranking algorithm. If you are trying to optimize your website for a search engine, keep page load speed low and Astroid framework is very much capable of doing it.
With clean and lightweight coding, the websites and template developed on top of Astroid Joomla framework always have a low page loading time and offers a smooth experience to your end users.
Astroid Template framework is integrated with the awesome Font Awesome 5 third-party extension which instantly makes your website pop with vector icons and social logos.
If you want to get some social presence for your next web project then it is sure that you need to have these. You have the freedom to choose any social platform from the long list we have on Astroid Framework, and you will always get an icon for that too.
JoomDev is famous for using the latest technologies in its product, the same thing was done in Astroid templating Framework. By using SCSS, we enable the website and Joomla template developer to write the complex CSS in a more easier and efficient way than ever before.
Astroid framework is well documented with screenshots & video references. All Steps for creating templates and websites with Astroid framework are described in details in the documentation which is of great use if you just started using Astroid.
Astroid Framework is Open Source i.e. you can use it to make any kind of Joomla based website or templates without any restrictions.
We have designed an all new media manager just for this framework. This new media manager is going to help you a lot in managing all of your media files. An intelligent folder creation algorithm will always make sure to properly organized your media in the folder even though if you have forgotten to make the one.
As we discussed in the above section, Better UI and UX are one of our top priorities and designing custom pages default pages like 404 Page, Coming Soon/maintenance Page is some of the important things to take care.
Pages like these are often underrated by other firms but we are not like them. In Astroid Framework, you can use your own custom default pages or can use the default one designed by us.
You are getting two predefined layouts i.e Wide and Boxed, to present your website in Astroid framework. Full-width web designs flow nicely because elements, such as columns and sidebars, are of the same width. On the other hand, Boxed designs are clean and provide a uniform website design that it can be viewed at different screen resolutions. Choose the one which you like and more importantly choose the what your visitors like.
Again, typography is one of the most important parts of your website as major part of your website is text. There is the term called visual language which means creating a visual appearance of the text just by the typography used. This is the beauty of typography and we understand it too.
That's why we have given a dedicated section to typography itself from which you can control the text font, color, size, letter spacing, heading and almost anything which deals with the typography of your whole website or the template.
So, this is all about Astroid Framework, a dream framework for all the Joomla based developers. And at last we want to appreciate you all for your patience, constant suggestions and inspiration which keeps on driving us towards the ultimate goal i.e. to make Astroid, the best Joomla Framework.

Juventus determined to keep hold of Manchester United target Paul Pogba
Juventus general director Giuseppe Marotta has insisted the club will resist any offers for Paul Pogba in the summer amid interest from former club Manchester United.
The likes of Real Madrid and Manchester City have also been linked with Pogba, who has become one of the world's best midfielders since leaving Man United to join Juventus in 2012.
Pogba's agent, Mino Raiola, has done little to quell the rumours and has suggested he could leave Juventus on numerous occasions.
However, Marotta is adamant that the Italian giants will not be selling the Frenchman as he is a vital part of their squad.
Speaking about Pogba, Marotta said: "There are clubs that are ready to spend 70 to 80 million euros for Pogba.
"There are many suitors for Pogba, but we do not want to open negotiations and we want him to stay with us. If we want to increase our level, we need players of great quality and Pogba is one of them."
Marotta may be publicly denying any talk of an exit but he will know that every player has their price.
It is likely that Juventus would make a huge profit on Pogba should he leave the club as he originally joined on a free transfer from United. It would be a hammer blow to fans at Old Trafford if they were to pay the sum after the club let the then-18-year-old leave so easily all those years ago.

Woman victim of carjacking in her driveway: Cleveland Heights police blotter
Published: Dec. 23, 2022, 10:27 p.m.
A home video surveillance camera captured two young people who, while walking down a street, stopped to kick in a home's door, breaking it off its hinges.
Jeff Piorkowski/special to cleveland.com
CLEVELAND HEIGHTS, Ohio --
Aggravated robbery: Elbon Road
At 8:30 p.m. Dec. 15, police were dispatched to a home where a woman reported that, as she pulled her car into her driveway, a group of four or five males walked up to her vehicle. One of the males showed a gun and demanded the woman's car. A suspect grabbed the keys from the woman's possession and pushed her to the ground.
The suspects got into the car and sped away toward Noble Road. Police found on the ground in the driveway, where the car had been parked, the woman's wallet, scarf and checkbook.
The suspects wore dark clothes and ski masks that covered their faces. A resident on the street told police he saw the group, before the incident with the woman took place, walking down Elbon Road and attempt to open the door of a car parked on the street. Another neighbor saw the woman, after she had been pushed to the ground, crawling in her driveway.
At 2:20 p.m. the following day, an officer was alerted that the woman's stolen Lexus was traveling northbound on Noble Road, near Woodview Road. The officer checked the area and found the Lexus parked on Nela View Road, its front passenger side on the curb.
While checking the Lexus' license plate number, the officer heard the sound of breaking sticks between two houses and saw a male running. The male did not stop when commanded to do so. The officer ran after the male into back yards, but was unable to apprehend him. A gun was found on top of a garage on Helmsdale Road.
Another male had also been seen running and was apprehended for questioning. Police are continuing to investigate.
Criminal damage: Beechwood Avenue
At 9:10 p.m. Dec. 14, police were called to a home where, it was reported, the front door had been kicked in and knocked off its hinges. A woman and her daughter live at the home. Both were away at work at the time the damage was done.
The daughter provided for police surveillance video. The video showed that, at about 5:40 p.m. a group of juveniles were walking down the street. Two members of that group, wearing hooded sweatshirts pulled around their heads, walked up to the door. One of the suspects appeared to have turned around and "donkey kicked" the door. The two then ran to join the rest of their group. Police gathered as evidence a single footprint from the door.
Motor vehicle theft: Whitehorn Road
At 2:30 p.m. Dec. 14, a woman went to the police station to report that, two days earlier, she noticed that a motor bike had been stolen from her garage.
Theft of firearm: Noble Road
At 5:30 p.m. Dec. 14, a man, 28, went to the police station to report that his handgun had been stolen from his car. The car had been left unlocked in the lot of his apartment complex. He discovered the gun missing at about 9 p.m. Dec. 13.
Auto theft: Warrensville Center Road
At 7:30 a.m. Dec. 14, a woman reported her car stolen from in front of her apartment at 1500 Warrensville Center. The woman parked her locked Hyundai Elantra the day before and woke at 7 a.m. Dec. 14 to find it missing. Broken glass was found on the ground where the car had been parked.
An East Cleveland Flock street camera captured the Elantra at 10 p.m. Dec. 13 heading northbound on Superior Road, and the car was seen again at 10:30 p.m. by a Euclid camera on Lake Shore Boulevard and East 185th Street.
Damage to auto: Euclid Heights Boulevard
At 9:20 a.m. Dec. 14, a man reported that someone had shattered the rear window of his 2020 Kia automobile as it was overnight parked in the public lot across from 2384 Euclid Heights Blvd. Police believe someone forced entry into the locked car, although the man reported nothing missing.
It is not known what was used to break the window. Police were unable to find video surveillance of the incident.

Joseph and Ruth Campbell, Patron of the Arts
FCC Professor Emeritus Joseph Campbell and wife Ruth Campbell have been strong supporters of the arts and advocates of education for many years. Their connection to education and community has been a continuous part of their lives and they have been involved with regional education institutions including FCC, Frostburg State University, Hood College, and Shepherd University.
Joseph and Ruth Campbell believe in the power of arts education and started the Arts and Visual Communications Scholarship Fund in 2002. Joseph began his 30-plus year career at FCC as an art faculty member in 1982, and retired as a Professor in 2013. The strength, success, and legacy of the arts program at FCC would not be what it is today without the support of Joseph and Ruth Campbell.


It seems silly to make goals for the next two and a half weeks since I'm late but I'm going to do it anyways. First up, a recap of February Goals!
Really think about my week and plan it. Success! I am happy to announce that I have finally started planning for my health better! I joined a gym right before radiation and now that I am off my medical rest, I can start attending. Along with the gym, I'm allowing myself time for rest.
Eat as healthy as possible. Fail.
Read six books. ( Self explanatory) Fail, I read 3.
Catch up with clients. Success!
Do taxes. ( self explanatory) Success!
Organize my finances. Fail. I keep trying to do an online system and I just don't like it very much.
Get my car detailed and fixed.
Start working on thank you cards.
Continue doing yoga 5 times a week.
What is everyone else working on this month?


In this program, the different attributes of each fighter is recognized and promoted, thereby developing the skill most complimentary to that specific fighter.
Having a good kick or punch is not all that is required to be a good fighter. You must train to think well, faster and more efficiently. Most martial artist practitioners of today are overly offensive minded, but a well-rounded fighter spends a good deal of his training educating himself to better his defensive skill (if you're not there – you can't be hit). Avoidance is a primary skill necessary for fighters' success.
A single attack should be as quick and as unexpected as the shot of a gun. No sooner than the firing of a gun is heard than the target is hit. With a single attack you should be able to hit your target and bring down the enemy. This is accomplished through correct practice in situations similar to actual combat in order to perfect every movement so that you learn to adjust to changing situations and make timely, accurate and proficient attacks.
Without total body training martial science techniques may not be properly executed. A strong body and a strong mind are required. Knowledge and skill in the martial is not something that is bestowed upon you, but is acquired and is grown into over a period of time as you train, conduction your body and study the various sciences.

Replication factor C subunit 3 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the RFC3 gene.

Function

The elongation of primed DNA templates by DNA polymerase delta and DNA polymerase epsilon requires the accessory proteins proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and replication factor C (RFC). RFC, also named activator 1, is a protein complex consisting of five distinct subunits of 140, 40, 38, 37, and 36 kDa. This gene encodes the 38 kDa subunit. This subunit is essential for the interaction between the 140 kDa subunit and the core complex that consists of the 36, 37, and 40 kDa subunits. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been described.

Interactions

RFC3 has been shown to interact with:
 BRD4,
 CHTF18,
 PCNA,
 RFC1,  and
 RFC4.

Pittsburgh Panthers vs. West Virginia Mountaineers Preview and Pick
Pittsburgh Panthers (21-8) +5, 135 O/U at West Virginia Mountaineers
(20-9) -5, 135 O/U, WVU Coliseum, Morgantown, W.Va., 7 PM Eastern,
The basketball version doesnt carry quite the same amount of passion
as their rivalry on the football field, but when the Pittsburgh
Panthers travel to WVU Coliseum Monday for a Big East Conference
showdown versus their longtime rival West Virginia Mountaineers you
can bet all eyes in West Virginia and Pennsylvania will be watching.
ESPN will make it easy for them to watch too, as the game will be
part of their Big Monday coverage to start the week.
The basketball rivalry was turned up a few notches last time these
two teams met back on February 7th. Not only were Pittsburgh fans
proudly sporting signs that read 13-9 (in reference to the Panthers
stunning 13-9 upset of West Virginia in football, essentially
knocking the Mountaineers out of the BCS title game), but the game
ended with a Ronald Ramon 3-pointer as time expired to give
Pittsburgh a heart-stopping 55-54 victory.
Both teams are also coming off of vastly different outcomes in their
last Big East tussle.
West Virginia, still considered by some to be an NCAA tournament
bubble team despite 20 wins, fought hard but ended up on the
disappointing end of a 79-71 score at Connecticut Saturday. On a good
note, the Mountaineers did close a 17-point deficit down to three in
the UConn game, but they still ended up on the short end.
Pittsburgh meanwhile is coming off a huge, moral-building 82-77
victory over Syracuse in the Carrier Dome. The Panthers closed an 11-
point deficit in the second half and took the lead in the closing
seconds to steal one away from the Orange. The win was just the
Panthers third victory on the road in Big East play, and was their
second straight win overall all after falling into a three game
losing streak in the middle of February.
Most offshore sportsbooks opened the game with West Virginia as 5-
point favorites, with a 135 total. Although some of the early lines
at Las Vegas sportsbooks have it listed at a more modest 4.5-point
spread, with a 132 total. The early numbers on the moneyline have the
Mountaineers listed at -222, with Pittsburgh listed at +196.
Pittsburgh is led by junior forward Sam Young, who is playing himself
into a player of the year candidate in the Big East. Young scored in
double figures for the 28th time (29 games) in the Syracuse game when
he finished with 19 points, five rebounds and three steals.
Pittsburgh guard Levance Fields missed the first game between the two
schools with a bad foot, but he has since returned and is finally
starting to return to form. Fields scored 13 points (on just 2-of-9
shooting though) and added five assists in the victory over the Orange.
West Virginia forward Joe Alexander is starting to assert himself as the Mountaineers
go-to guy in the clutch. The junior scored a career-high 32 points and added
10 rebounds in the Connecticut game, running his season averages up to 15.1
points per game and 6.0 rebounds per contest.
Alexander is helped out on the offensive end by Alex Ruoff (14 ppg),
DaSean Butler (12.3 ppg) and Darris Nichols (11.1 ppg), who all
average double figures in scoring. Nichols, who scored a game-high 16
points in the first meeting of these two schools, will be looking to
go out with a bang as the senior will be one of two players honored
before the game on the Mountaineers senior night festivities (along
with Jamie Smalligan).
Both teams are barely above average for sports bettors this year, as
West Virginias 12-10-1 ATS record is only slightly better than
Pittsburghs 13-11 ATS record.
The historical betting trends favor the Panthers in this matchup, as
Pitt is 11-4-1 ATS in the last 16 head-to-head meetings. The Panthers
also have a history of playing well on Monday night, as they sport a
7-3-1 ATS record in their last 11 Monday night games. But those
numbers are a bit deceiving, as the Panthers failed to cover as 3-
point favorites in the first game this season and have only covered
the number in two of their last eight games overall.
West Virginia meanwhile is 5-2-1 ATS in their last eight games, and a
strong 22-10-1 ATS in their last 33 games held in the WVU Coliseum.
The under is a strong play here too, as five of the last six head-to-
head matchups have come in under the total, including the first game
with a 131.5 closing number. Pittsburgh also plays a rough-n-tough
brand of basketball on the road, as the under is 16-7 in their last
23 games away from home.
Badgers Pick: Even though I think the total of 135 is on the cusp
of being too low, I still like the under play in this game. If West
Virginia is going to have a chance, they are going to have to clamp
down on Pittsburgh because the Panthers have more depth and better
overall talent. The same could be said for Pitt, as they will need
their typical defensive effort to stay in the game in front of a
hostile crowd. Take the under of 135 in this game.

Crude oil is the major raw material for petrol. At present, 75% of India's crude oil needs are met through imports. And thus, international prices of crude oil and foreign exchange rates are the base components in determining the price of petrol at home. However, they form only a small component of the retail price, and the final price is determined by a host of other factors. In fact, more than 57% of the retail petrol price per litre goes towards taxes, duties, cesses and dealer margin.
To understand the mechanism for pricing of petrol, it is first important to understand various stakeholders involved in the cycle from production to retailing of petrol and thus, determination of petrol prices.
These are the companies responsible for produce oil in its crude form. There is a mix of both private sector companies like Reliance Industries, Cairn India Ltd, and public sector counterparts like Oil India, Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) among others in this sector. However, these companies together cater to only 25% of India's crude oil requirement. The rest of the crude oil is imported.
The crude oil is then bought by Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs), which handle oil from its crude stage till the time it is handed to the dealers in its refined form. Thus, OMCs take care of refining of crude oil into petrol and selling the refined petrol to the dealers. This sector also comprises of both public and private companies. However, the three PSUs- Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL), Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL) and Hindustan Private Corporate Limited (HPCL) control around 95% of this sector; while the two private players- Reliance Industries and Essar cater to the remaining market.
Dealers are individuals or businesses that own petrol pumps. Thus they are the final sellers of petrol to end users at retail prices, after adding taxes and their own margins.
Daily Fuel Pricing: What to expect?
From 16th June, public sector OMCs such as IOCL, HPCL and BPCL have rolled out daily price change mechanism in all their retail outlets across the country, in line with global practices.
The prices are revised at 6 AM every morning at petrol pumps.
Also, petrol pumps will now follow a system of marginal differentiated pricing resulting in different prices at different outlets of the same OMC, based on location. For example, a petrol pump nearer to the supply station may have a lower price than the one farther away.
It won't be exaggeration to say that the Price of Petrol & Diesel affect almost every Indian directly or indirectly. Such is the importance of these two that any increase or decrease in their price is widely discussed. Ever since de-regulation, the prices change every fortnight based on the changes in the price of crude oil and changes in tax rate. While people at large follow pricing of these two commodities, they do not understand the structure of pricing, the components that add up to the final price. The above video is aimed at demystify the Petrol pricing.
Retail Selling Price (RSP) of Petrol is determined based on a lot of factors. The average price of Crude Oil of the Indian Basket is calculated every fortnight. This price is calculated in dollars per Barrel. The price in Indian rupees is also dependent on the average exchange price for that fortnight.
The Crude Oil is transported and refined to extract Petrol. The cost & freight charges, refinery charges are added to the price of Crude oil. This is called the Refinery Transfer Price (RTP). In other words, this is the price paid by OMCs (Oil Marketing Companies) like IOCL, BPCL & HPCL to the refineries. OMCs retain some margin and sell it to the Dealer (the owner of the Petrol Pump).
All these prices add up to the final Retail Selling Price (RSP) of Petrol that reaches the consumer. There are differences in the price in various states because of the different VAT rate. The price also varies between a pump owned by different OMCs. These minor differences are because of the variations in margins & dealer commission.
This entire process is explained in the above 75 second video.
Here is an Infographic explaining the petrol price breakup starting from the price of crude oil till it reaches to the end consumer including the various components of pricing. Note: The data is as on March 1st, 2015.

VP International Operations Zomato, Founder Robin Hood Army, Executor & Impact Creator: Interview with Neel Ghose
by Sanjana Basu · October 16, 2014
Neel is currently Vice President International Operations of Zomato. Being a finance student of SRCC, Delhi and the London School of Economics, and having worked in a New York based hedge fund (D.E. Shaw) for 2 years, Neel looked set for a career in finance – only to realise that he found excel sheets and financial analysis exceptionally boring. This led him to the world of food and startups, and he joined a small passionate team that believed in building a world-class product. Neel is a bit of a nomad and has lived in 6 cities across 4 countries in the last couple of years, setting up operations of Zomato worldwide. In his free time, Neel enjoys horse riding and attempting to convince the world that cricket is actually a sport. Enjoy his story! 😀
Q: So tell us a little about Neel?
It's funny how I've asked this question a lot in job interviews, and now I am struggling with a straight answer. I've lived across different cities in India and have been fortunate to have the opportunity to work across a few countries as well. Friends are an extremely important part of my life, as is my family. What is even more important, of course is the Indian cricket team. I also happen to be exceptionally lazy and always look for the fastest way to get things done. Luckily I work in an organization where they put up with that.
Q: Zomato. Zomato. Zomato. How did Zomato come into Neels's life or vice versa?
My resume read Finance all over, and I knew very little about startups, and had even less tech knowledge. So, I was far from the perfect fit for Zomato. The only hitch was that I was not passionate about what I did at the time, and I really wanted to do something in which I could create an impact. This led me to the startup world, and a friend who had left the corporate bandwagon to join Zomato had great things to say about the team.
Unlike today, a few years back startups were not really a trendy career destination. Choosing to take the leap and convincing my Bengali family, who believed in the sanctity of higher education and a stable banking career, was far from easy. The transition from being a financial analyst to explaining to restaurant owners in broken Hindi how an online product would help drive business, was not the smoothest. But rest assured I learnt more about how a business works in my first two weeks at Zomato, than I did in two years of working in a corporate firm. Luckily one thing led to another, and the last few years have been a complete blur of building and growing Zomato.
In other news, my parents are Zomato's biggest ambassadors :).
Q: You guys have grown from a little start-up to a one of the best know companies in the world. What is the secret?
That's simple – the team. I've been lucky to work with some of the smartest, most inspirational folks I have met – who also happen to be really nice people. Each person in the organization brings something unique to the table, and an attitude to hustle and get shit done. Resumés do not have much value in Zomato, and everyone is expected to get their hands dirty. Along the way, we have made mistakes and had our fair share of luck, but the passion with which we approached work has never wavered.
I think something which works for us is that we always consider ourselves to be a startup. It is an approach we have always taken as a team and it helps us scale greater heights with the trademark drive and ambition of a growing organization. Deepi and Pankaj, our founders, always remind us that we are '1% done" – that helps brings perspective to what we are doing and prevents us from resting on our laurels.
Q: How do you all continue to differentiate yourselves and maintain your unique identity?
That sounds like a trick question. Honestly, I don't think as a firm, we consciously try to create a unique brand identity. The team comprises of a bunch of young, fun people who are incredibly passionate about what they do – I think that constantly reflects in our work and ultimately the unique identity which Zomato is known to represent.
Ownership is a big part of Zomato culture – which literally means treating the organization as if it's your own.
Q: What is it that gets you excited to take on the world with Zomato every morning?
Building stuff. Watching a bare idea take shape and materialize into something disruptive which influences people around is a different high in itself. Whether it is setting up a new revenue vertical, launching in a new country or just grooming someone who is incredibly bright – every challenge has a unique story.
We've achieved a few milestones over the year like international expansion, funding etc. but the best part about the job is the smaller things. One particular incident comes to mind – we had been in London for a few months and were slowly becoming a force in the market. Our London users were increasing by the day, but we were nowhere near being a household name (or so I thought). One Saturday night, I went out – it was one of those parties where you just land up with a friend, and most people there didn't know me or where I worked. It was 2 am in the morning, and suddenly a bunch of guys (who were very drunk) got into an animated discussion of where they could eat in Covent Garden. I was in the other end of the room and was about to suggest an awesome app which would help them, when one of them beat me to it saying: "Why don't we 'Zomato' it ?" I could've cried :). The guy used it as a bloody verb. It just made all those hours and effort put in – seem 1000% worth it. For me, that's the real Zomato.
Q: Tell us a bit more about the Robin Hood Army?
This honestly happened by chance. In Lisbon, we partnered with an organization which distributes surplus food from restaurants across to the less fortunate folks via a few thousand volunteers. I really wanted to implement something similar in India, where there are way more hungry people than there should be.
With the help of a partner (Anand Sinha), friends and colleagues, we got a volunteer driven body going in Delhi and hoped to create impact in our own small way. We figured since we are helping people find places to eat by day(Zomato), we might as well do it by night to those who really need it.The model is simple – to create self-sustained communities across the city – for eg. restaurants in Green Park will contribute to the homeless of the locality via volunteers who live in Green Park.
We've been lucky to build an 'Army' of people who feel the same way and currently serve 1600 people a night across Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Hyderabad and Kolkata
Q: What are the next steps of the RHA?
The more time we spend doing this, we just realize how acute the problem is in our country. There are no dearth of people who wish to create a difference, it's just about channelizing this right.
With the wedding season hitting the country, we are actively reaching out to caterers to source food wasted in bulk. In Delhi, which experiences a harsh winter, we are organising a collection drive for warm clothes for the homeless. We have recently launched operations in 5 cities across India including Bangalore. If this strikes a chord – please do get in touch on – https://www.facebook.com/robinhoodarmy, we could always do with more help.
Q: Any challenges and advice to us all who you are an inspiration for!?
Most clichéd advice ever – follow your gut. Always. We all go through different social pressures which define the career choices we make – it is important to know yourself and realize what works for you, irrespective of how classy it might sound on your resumé or to your family friends.
Even more clichéd – be happy. It is insanely important to prioritize this. There are a lot of people who base all their efforts and energies towards the pursuit of a single goal. What's necessary, is to be happy and at peace in the journey too, honestly that's the most fun part of the job.
Also – avoid giving and taking a lot of advice (like I am doing :-p). Think less, and do more.

Actually, my first dog was Jony. Jony was a stuffed animal. Jony was a boy, even though his name was Jony. When I was a little girl, I thought all dogs were boys. But I admired a little girl in my dance class whose name was Jony. So – I named my favorite stuffed animal Jony. And – truth be told – Jony saved my life back then in ways that I expect real dogs rescue their owners. However, I did rescue all the stray cats in the neighborhood. But later about the cats. Their stories, and the love and ringworm they brought into my home, deserve a slot of their own.
I'd put Jony down at my feet, under the covers, every night. I'd make sure his ears were not flopped down over his eyes. His eyes had to be open. Watchful. Protecting me. Jony had to stay awake all night. I'd let him sleep during the day. I'd take him out from under the covers, rest his head on my pillow, and cover his eyes with his floppy ears. Jony slept by day, and was on the job all night. My father – the one I refer to as my biological father – was the person I needed rescuing from. My biological father, the one I lived with until age 15, had a violent temper. And although I was only physically harmed once, his fit of rage resulting in my bloody nose, once was enough. That's when Jony came into play and became the father I didn't have then, the protector. It's also when I started writing. "Dear Diary…" That little plaid diary was my soul mate. It's also when I started praying. "Dear God…" I figured I had nothing to lose. This is also when the light switches began to beg. I'd have to switch them on and off dozens of times to get the magic right, to cast the spell that would keep me safe. Jony, the rituals, the praying, the writing – and yes, the rescuing of the stray cats — it was a magical combination that carried me through my childhood. The curtains on the windows of my childhood bedroom had a design of cats and dogs with umbrellas in the rain. It rained green cats and dogs throughout my childhood as I switched the lights on and off, and Jony kept watch.
My current dog, Didion, doesn't have Jony's burden. Didion was named after another Joan. Joan Didion. Thanks to the work of Joan Didion, I began to recognize, in my early adulthood, that I was a writer. Jony saved me as a child. Joan saved me as an adult. Which is why I was able to rescue Husband Didion, and not the other way around.
This is how Didion looked on the day I adopted him. You can see that his left blue eye could light the way through any dark place.
