Pulisic Completes $73m Move To Chelsea
Christian Pulisic will join Chelsea in a $73million deal after being loaned back to Borussia Dortmund for the remainder of this season
Christian Pulisic is joining Chelsea in a £58 million (€64m/$73m) deal that will see him loaned back to Dortmund for the remainder of the 2018-19 season.
The USA international has impressed since making the breakthrough for the Bundesliga side during the 2015-16 campaign and has since made 115 appearances for the first team, scoring 15 goals and creating another 24.
Welcome to Chelsea, @cpulisic_10! https://t.co/bgiLbAtXrl

He has, however, struggled to hold down a regular starting place in Lucien Favre's side that have charged to the top of the league standings this season, opening a six-point gap to Bayern Munich.
Indeed, the 20-year-old has featured only four times from the beginning of matches in the league, with his last start coming on September 29.
With the player unable to agree new terms with the club on a deal that would have expired in 2020, BVB were content to allow him to leave.

"It was always Christian's dream to play in the Premier League. That certainly has to do with his American background, and as a result we were unable to extend his contract," BVB sporting director Michael Zorc told the club's official website.
"Against this background, we have decided to accept an extremely lucrative bid by Chelsea, given the low contract maturity."
Zorc holds no fears that the youngster will allow his level to drop in the coming months, despite his big move being secured.
"He's a player of perfect character," he added. "I am sure that in the coming months he will do everything in his power to bring his high quality to the team and to achieve his sporting goals with his Borussia Dortmund team-mates."

Commenting on the move, Chelsea director Marina Granovskaia told the Blues' official club website: "We are delighted to have signed one of Europe's most sought-after young players.
"Christian has shown his quality during a fantastic spell in Germany and at just 20, we believe he has the potential to become an important Chelsea player for many years to come.
"We look forward to welcoming him to Stamford Bridge in the summer and wish him and Dortmund every success for the remainder of the season."
As revealed by Goal, Pulisic is a player that the Blues have been tracking for several months amid concerns over the future of star man Eden Hazard, who continues to be linked with Real Madrid.
The club are keen to tie the Belgian down to a new deal and make him the highest-paid player in their history, although he is yet to sign on the dotted line and has consistently stated his dream of featuring for the Liga giants.
Maurizio Sarri's side were also monitoring the progress of Lyon's Nabil Fekir and Barcelona's Ousmane Dembele as a potential replacement for the Belgium star.
Paris Saint-Germain and Liverpool were two of the other clubs looking at Pulisic, but the Reds dropped their interest at the end of November.

Enthalpy of formation of binary solid and liquid Mg alloys: Comparison of Miedema-model calculations with data reported in literature
Rob Boom, Frank de Boer
Enthalpies of formation and mixing of binary solid and liquid magnesium alloys have been calculated by application of the Miedema model and compared with data reported in literature. The Miedema model has originally been developed for alloys containing at least one transition metal. The model parameters have been developed over the years and became fixed around the end of the nineteen eighties. In the present paper, the validity of the model is investigated for all binary Mg-alloy systems, also including alloys without a transition metal. The much larger number of literature data, that is presently available, allows for a more precise estimation of one of the model parameters associated with Mg and to adapted calculations for binaries of Mg with transition metals. In addition, an extension of the model to binaries of Mg with non-transition metals is introduced. For these alloys an additional negative contribution to the heat of formation and mixing is added.

CONSEU (Conferència de Nacions sense Estat d'Europa)
CONCLUSIONS OF THE Vth ASSEMBLY OF THE CONSEU
Cagliari, September 28. 2003
The Vth General Assembly of CONSEU, held in Cagliari (Sardinia) on 26, 27 and 28 September 2003,
Has examined the "Draft Treaty establishing a Constitution for Europe", as prepared by the European Convention, a project which will start being discussed by the Intergovernmental Conference in Rome from 4 October 2003.
I - The participants at the CONSEU have welcomed some positive contributions to the text, especially as regards:
- The recognition of diversity as one of the Union's founding principles;
- The recognition of the Union's legal personality;
- The inclusion of the Charter of Fundamental Rights within the constitutional corpus;
- The affirmation of the principle of non-discrimination at all levels, particularly within the cultural and linguistic spheres;
- The establishment of direct participative democracy, by means of which EU-citizens can take part.
II - The participants regret that some of the fundamental democratic principles stated in Part I of the text, which defines the objectives of the Union, are not systematically developed in Part III, which is devoted to the policies and functioning of the Union.
This can be most clearly seen by taking the following circumstances into account:
- There is no reference in articles III-3 and III-8 to language and culture as a motive of discrimination to be prohibited, while these two articles include other motives of discrimination;
- The limited competences of the European Parliament are being kept in favour of a competing bicephalous legislative power, distributed between this institution -which is established on the base of universal suffrage-, and the respective executive powers of member states. And this distribution is contrary to the democratic principle of division of powers;
- Participative democracy, a tool of EU citizens, is subject to the consent of the executive body, which is represented by the European Commission, and is bound to the postponed until a European law is enacted in the future on the concrete conditions under which participative democracy is to be carried out;
- The terminology used fot the concepts of state, nation and people is ambiguous;
III - The participants denounce that:
- The notion of sovereignty of the peoples is being left aside and the notion of sovereignty of the states is being maintained, as the stated principle of sovereignty of EU citizens is not guaranteed by any concrete measure;
- There are not any institutions and rules enabling European peoples to exercise their sovereignty within the EU, and the existence of such peoples as subjects of law is not being effectively recognised, thus benefiting the constituted states;
- The only approach that is being used, in a deliberate and unchangeable way, is that of the existing state frameworks, and no reference is made to the right of self-determination exercised by means of a democratic process by those European peoples which for historical reasons have been deprived of sovereignty. This fact is in blatant contradiction with legal rules ratified by the European states, especially the Helsinki Final Act and the Charter of Paris of 1990;
- The stated principle of cultural and linguistic diversity is being denied in practice, as only the official languages of member states are being recognised as EU languages, and member states keep having a monopoly over the contents of teaching and education programmes, thus enabling them to allow the persistence of existing discrimination of the so-called lesser-used languages and cultures, and thus also endangering peace within Europe;
- There is a serious risk that economic rules based on market economy and liberalism become constitutionalised, thus allowing that economic competitive relations which may endanger the balance of the weakest and underdeveloped European peoples become perennial and that inequalities in the exchange with the rest of peoples of the world (within the framework of globalisation) persist.
IV - As a consequence, in order to consolidate and develop the democratic character of the European Union, the participants propose to:
- introduce within the constitutional corpus the essential right to self-determination for each one of the European peoples, which shall be able to regain full sovereignty once they are able to express it through democratic means, as well as to introduce the right of each people to be eligible for entering the EU;
- create a Chamber of the Peoples, which is to ensure that the Peoples are democratically represented at the legislative level of the EU;
- establish a Conference of Nations within (in space and time) the European Intergovernmental Conference and within the Council of Ministers. This Conference should be aimed at ensuring that the Peoples be represented in the wording of rules that have an impact on the Union's executive power, concomitantly with the Commission;
- devolve the Union's legislative power entirely to the two only chambers whose power arises from democratic representation, as the Commission and the Intergovernmental Conference can only submit proposals in this area;
- grant constitutional recognition of equality of rights for all languages and cultures within the EU and of their respective right to develop as a challenge for conserving common cultural richness and diversity;
- In a transitional phase, create a Surveillance Committee for Languages and Cultures which are not granted a state-level statute within the framework of the Commission; this Committee would have the capacity to collect complaints, to carry out the research needed to elaborate them, to directly lodge them to the European Court of Human Rights (to prosecute discriminatory measures or treatment), and to carry out general surveys and submit a yearly report to the Commission and the Parliament;
- take into consideration and launch the proposals put forward, on the part of the involved institutions, in order to fully ensure the Union's democratic character, at the latest during the 2004-2009 European legislative term.
Taking this approach into account, the CONSEU wishes to forward its proposals for the modification of the current constitutional treaty to MEPs, as well as to all appropriate European institutions. Likewise, it will submit them to representatives of EU-candidate states and to concerned non-governmental organisations. The CONSEU will assume the task of dissemination in the media, so that all citizens of the future Europe learn of them.
Moreover, the participants at the CONSEU, concerned about the challenges of globalisation, have decided that the next General Assembly of the CONSEU will discuss issues regarding identity and the contributions and causes of migratory phenomena in Europe.

Nonprofit Federal Alliance for Safe Homes(FLASH)® expanding 2018 #HurricaneStrong education program following record-breaking hurricane season.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla., Nov. 30, 2017 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- As communities work to recover from Hurricanes Harvey, Irma, and Maria, the nonprofit Federal Alliance for Safe Homes (FLASH) is announcing plans to continue and expand the National Hurricane Resilience Initiative - #HurricaneStrong education campaign. FLASH created the two-year-old #HurricaneStrong effort through public-private partnerships with FEMA, NOAA, The Weather Channel, and sponsors to empower the public with life safety and home protection before disasters strike.
#HurricaneStrong uses a multiplatform strategy to reach a widespread audience by aligning hurricane awareness projects, leadership voices, and social media messaging. Signature events include a White House Proclamation, National Hurricane Preparedness Week, and the NOAA Hurricane Awareness Tour (HAT). This year, the HAT featured NOAA and USAF hurricane hunter aircraft, meteorologists, pilots, and disaster safety experts to draw more than 13,000 attendees in six cities along the Atlantic coastline. Attendees enjoyed educational exhibits, science briefings, and inspirational presentations by local leaders and VIP's. The social media hashtag #HurricaneStrong reached more than 37 million Twitter users and carried the events to residents and students through hurricane-exposed states.
"Recent hurricanes demonstrate the urgent need to continue and strengthen our pre-disaster education efforts, so we are seeking sponsors to help grow this proven program," said FLASH President and CEO Leslie Chapman-Henderson. "Our 2018 #HurricaneStrong effort will provide essential information to all in hurricane-exposed communities and provide sponsors a disaster safety partnership that is highly visible to consumers, leaders, and the scientific community."
This short video provides a program overview and successes of the 2016 campaign and calls attention to the critical role of individual and family preparedness ahead of deadly wind, rain, and flooding from tropical systems.
The 2017 #HurricaneStrong sponsors included BASF, Huber Engineered Woods, ISO, Kohler Generators, PCA, Simpson Strong-Tie, State Farm, Verisk, USAA, and countless state and local governments.
For more information on how to sponsor the 2018 campaign visit HurricaneStrong.org, email info@flash.org, or call (877) 221-SAFE (7233). For information on building disaster-resistant structures download FEMA's Building Science Hurricane Activities & Resources.


Worksite wellness programs make sense – for everyone.
Today, almost 2/3rds of all companies have some form of wellness program in place. Why? The benefits are indisputable: lower healthcare costs, reduced absenteeism, and increased productivity.
Like individual employees, wellness programs come in all shapes, sizes, and complexities. They can range from the very basic to the most comprehensive, covering such activities as smoking cessation classes, healthy eating tips, weight loss incentives, blood pressure and cholesterol testing, stress management programs and on site elaborate exercise facilities.
While each program needs to be custom designed for each worksite, the important thing to remember is that worksite wellness programs offer real benefits for both employers and employees.
Five reasons why health promotion makes good business sense.
Reason #1: The American workforce is considered to be "unhealthy": wellness programs through, education and information, can contribute to improving the overall health of the nation, where obesity is at epidemic levels, most people are sedentary and tobacco and alcohol use is widespread.
Reason #2: Most illnesses are preventable: wellness programs help encourage and motivate employees to change unhealthy behaviors which account for 70% of all healthcare costs.
Reason #3: Healthcare costs continue to skyrocket: Wellness programs help reduce rising healthcare costs which now account for close to 16% of the gross domestic product.
Reason #4: The workplace makes sense for addressing employee wellness: employees listen to their employers and employers have a vested interest in their employee healthrelated issues.
Reason #5: Employee productivity and costs are key issues for employers: wellness programs lower employer costs, reduce absenteeism and improve employee productivity: a win-win for employers and employees.

Four third-period goals and a 24-save effort from Philipp Grubauer lift Caps to ninth straight win and fourth shutout triumph in last six.
For the first 40 minutes of Sunday's matinee match between the Capitals and the Philadelphia Flyers at Verizon Center, it was anybody's game, even if it didn't seem like much of a game at all.
The two sides combined for a grand total of just 14 even-strength shots on net in the first two periods, and although Philadelphia had the edge in territory and possession to that point of the contest, Washington owned a 1-0 lead on Andre Burakovsky's unassisted power play goal, a gift tally that came directly off a turnover from Philly defenseman Michael Del Zotto.
All that changed in the first seven minutes of the third period.
After registering just five mostly long distance shots on net in each of the first two periods, the Capitals scored on four of five shots in a span of exactly five minutes during the early part of the third period, opening up a 5-0 lead and chasing Flyers starter Steve Mason to the showers. Washington protected that advantage the rest of the way, preserving Philipp Grubauer's second shutout and eighth win of the season, and cementing Washington's ninth consecutive victory.
"Either they were buzzing or we were a step slow," says Caps defenseman Matt Niskanen of his team's sluggish start to the game. "It could have been both. But Grubi was outstanding - especially in the first - and he gave us a chance to find our legs and we were better as the game went on. We were real good in the third, obviously."
Grubauer made 24 saves to earn the shutout, and more than half (13) of those stops came in the first frame before his Caps teammates had their legs beneath them. Making his first start in 15 days, Grubauer made four saves in a span of just eight seconds early in the first period.
When the first frame came to a merciful close, the game was scoreless and Philly owned a 26-12 advantage in shot attempts.
"They were playing quick," says Caps coach Barry Trotz, of the Flyers' performance in the first period. "They had a little desperation and they were closing quickly on us, and we were a little bit slow in our game and not really executing to the level that we need to.
"I thought Grubi was really good in the first and we had a couple of penalty kills to keep them from [getting on] the board. I think they may have been up by a couple if they had either gotten a power play goal or if Grubi hadn't made a couple of saves. There was one play in particular where he made two saves back-to-back."
For the seventh straight game, the Caps got on the board first. At the tail end of a Washington power play near the midpoint of the second period, Washington center Evgeny Kuznetsov tried to spring Burakovsky into the Philadelphia zone with a pass, but the puck hit Burakovsky's skate and stick, rolling right onto the stick of Del Zotto. Del Zotto tried to clear it, but barely got any of the puck with his attempt. It went right back on Burakovsky's tape, and he quickly sniped a shot from the slot, beating Mason for a 1-0 Washington lead at 9:08.
The two sides continued their sleepy play through the second, and although Washington still didn't have much going on at the offensive end of the ice, it limited Philadelphia to just a single even-strength shot on goal in the game's middle period.
"I thought in the second period we sort of stabilized a little bit," says Trotz. "There wasn't much going on. We counted the chances between periods and we knew there wasn't much going on for both sides. I thought we got it stabilized."
Playing their second game in as many days, the Flyers were still very much in the game heading into the third period, but they wouldn't be for long.
The first of Caps' quartet of rapid-fire goals came after Kuznetsov won an offensive zone draw. Marcus Johansson executed a perfect facsimile of Kuznetsov's own trademarked behind-the-net-reverse pass, a feed that enabled Justin Williams to score, giving the Caps a 2-0 lead at 1:36 of the final frame.
Less than two minutes later, Matt Niskanen finished off a tic-tac-toe passing play, taking a pretty feed from Alex Ovechkin after the latter pump faked a shot, a move that brought Mason out to Leesburg and left a vacant cage for Niskanen.
Niskanen netted his second goal in a span of just 2:27 when he took a backhand feed from Tom Wilson and pounded a shot from the right point. Mason got his catching glove on it, but the puck continued on and into the net behind him.
Washington ended the beleaguered goaltender's afternoon just 49 seconds later, when Nicklas Backstrom's sublime feed set up Williams' second goal of the game, a back door tap-in tally from the top of the paint.
"The first two periods, we played excellent road periods," says Flyers coach Dave Hakstol. "We didn't give up much and we got the better of the chances. But it got away from us in five minutes at the start of the third period."
The Capitals killed off one more minor penalty - they took five on the day - to keep Grubauer's sheet clean, and they coasted home the rest of the way to forge their third winning streak of exactly nine-games in length since setting the franchise record with a 14-game winning spree some seven years ago.
"In the third period, we came out with pretty good focus," says Trotz. "We talked about everybody upping the speed of our game, and using our roster a little bit better here. When we scored the second goal quickly, it got them on their heels and then the third and fourth [goals] sort of killed their will. They had played [Saturday], and it dropped quickly once we got [goals] two and three."

Q: Worksheet IF statements with AirTable Im using Airtable (Online Excel Equivalent with their own similar Formulas)but I can't seem to get this to work properly.
So I have three values (UE, PE, EE) which are being used for the following columns (GradeF, ZipcodeF, SchoolF) The formula will be applied to the column "Eligible". So overall what I'm trying to do is If Grade is "UE", then mark as "UE". If Grade is "PE" then determine If Zipcode is "EE" or "PE", or School is "EE", or "PE" if so then mark as "PE" otherwise "UE". If Grade is "EE" then determine If Zipcode is "EE", or School is "EE" if so then mark as "EE" otherwise "UE".
IF(GradeF = "UE", "UE", IF(GradeF = "PE", IF(OR(ZipcodeF = "EE", ZipcodeF = "PE", SchoolF = "EE", SchoolF = "PE"), "PE","UE", IF(GradeF = "EE", IF(OR(ZipcodeF = "EE", SchoolF = "EE"), "EE", "UE" ,"")))))

A: It's easier if you work backward from your most common case ("UE").  I've never used Airtable, but this should be the logic (line breaks for clarity):
IF(AND(GradeF="EE",OR(ZipcodeF="EE",SchoolF="EE")),"EE",
IF(AND(GradeF="PE",OR(ZipcodeF="EE",SchoolF="EE",
ZipcodeF="PE",SchoolF="PE")),"PE","UE"))

All of the B vitamins are water soluble and so cannot be stored in the body. They are easily lost by cooking, storage and the effects of sunlight. Each vitamin is chemically different from the others and all have separate functions in the body. The overall action of the complex is to help maintain health particularly of the nervous system. B vitamins are vital for carbohydrate, fat and protein metabolism and the conversion of food to energy. They help maintain clear eyes, and healthy looking skin and healthy hair. This probably is the reason so many women take a B Complex supplement as part of a nutritional daily beauty care programme. Being water soluble the nutrients are excreted in the urine if too much is taken. A well balanced, good quality formulation is all that's required for the necessary part it can play as a food supplement.

It would be so convenient for operators if they could just create one single platform with one single currency while the whole world spoke the same language. Yes, it would, but the world seems to benefit too much from different currencies. the reason why the world is home to 180 different currencies.A single currency offers many advantages, though, such as eliminating fluctuating exchange rates and exchange costs. Besides, it is also easier for companies to trade across the border while it seems to benefit a more stable economy and economy growth. A single currency might encourage people to travel t other countries spending their money with shopping. Globally, a single currency gives more influence and power like this is the case with the Euro. By now 19 out of 28 EU countries have accepted the Euro as its national currency and, therefore, the Euro is used by over 340 million people every day. Pretty convenient I must admit as it saves me, and 340 million people with me, a lot of hassle when traveling.It's not only 19 European countries that share one currency because the US dollar is the official currency of several countries including the United States of America consisting of 50 states, but also East Timor, Ecuador, El Salvador, Federated States of Micronesia, Marshall Islands, Palau, the Caribbean Netherlands, and for banknotes, Panama. Although, the dollar, in general, isn't just available in one country as there are currently 22 currencies all over the world using the name dollar. This might be due to the fact that the currency "dollar" has a fascinating history and many countries want to be a part of that name.
While a bit less than 30 countries share two different currencies, there are still 178 countries left with their own currency. It is because of that I ended up with a pretty large bowl of foreign currencies including the British pound, US Dollar, Swedish krona, and Indonesian rupiah. I have to admit that this particular bowl brings me the best memories, but there might be a chance that these notes and coins won't be used for many years.
This great bowl of foreign currencies can be compared with the online gambling industry. So many online casinos available but the majority belong to your personal bowl of foreign online casinos. I have to admit that even my exclusive list of the most reliable NetEnt Casinos can be compared to my foreign money bowl, as this list involves local online casinos such as All British Casino (UK), All Australian Casino, (Australia), Adler Casino (Germany), All Irish Casino (Ireland), Polder Casino, Klaver Casino, NederBet (Netherlands), Karl Casino (Sweden), NorskeAutomater and NorgesCasino (Norway).
No worries, because there are enough NetEnt Casinos in the list that do offer you a nice mix of currencies. All of them are online casinos with the Euro as the main currency supplemented with other European currencies such as the British pound, Swedish krona, Norwegian krone, Swiss franc, Turkish lira, and the Polish złoty. With the multicultural societies in Europe, the interest of players goes far beyond the European borders, the reason why I've looked into other currencies like the Chinese yuan, Japanese yen, the Canadian dollar, Australian dollar, the South African rand, and the Russian Ruble as well.
I have to admit that online casino life within the borders of Europe is much easier, but I really tried my best to cover all the most popular currencies used by players all over Europe to make your search for a reliable NetEnt Casino easier.

Men and women's track teams place second at Central Connecticut Invitational
By Tyler Movsessian
(Christina Yacono/ Daily Collegian)
The Massachusetts track and field team kicked off the 2016 season in New Britain, Connecticut at the Central Connecticut Invitational. Both men and women's teams took home second place finishes and had numerous great performances despite unsavory weather that caused several delays, some which lasted over an hour.
For the Minutemen, three athletes took first place in their respective events. Ben Groleau, John Chuma and Deion Arneaud won the 5000 meter run, the pole vault and the long jump, respectively.
Groleau was extremely impressive in his victory. He took home gold with a time of 14:45.85, running shoulder-to-shoulder with Central Connecticut's Matt Walker (15:12.86) until the first mile, before Groleau pulled away and never looked back.
Chuma took first in the pole vault with a leap of 14 feet, 5.25 inches, but had a lot of support from his UMass teammates. Brendan Lloyd (13 feet, 11.25 inches) and Nicholas Gemino (13 feet, 5.25 inches) took second and third respectively. The Minutemen earned a combined 24 in the event, a large part of their 201.5 team points. UMass finished in second place in the meet, just behind the Blue Devils who earned 225 points.
In the long jump, Arneaud took first with a jump of 22 feet, 22.5 inches, an impressive mark considering rainy weather.
The 4×400 meter relay team of Arneaud, Youssef Elkorchi, Cory Adelson and Alexander Finestone were runners up in their event with a time of 3:28.95, one of a number of second place finishes for the Minutemen. Jay McMahon took second in the steeplechase and Evan Burton also finished in the top two in the discus throw.
Also reaching the podium in their respective events were Brett Davies in discus, Warren Charleston in triple jump and John Long in javelin.
"We had very good performances all around, especially considering the difficulties with the weather," coach Ken O'Brien said. "We scored very well in the jumps, as well as in the sprints and hurdles. I was also very impressed by the freshmen in their first collegiate meet, especially Eric Waterman (fourth in steeplechase at 9:27.33). He ran a very tough race on a very tough day, and he really came through for us."
The Minutemen are back in action on Friday at the Sam Howell Invitational in Princeton, New Jersey. They'll return to Amherst for their home opener the next day in a four-team meet set to begin at 11:30 a.m.
Crawford, Deveau pace Minutewomen
Led by Kelsey Crawford and Bridget Deveau, the Minutewomen also earned a second place finish at the Invitational meet in New Britain, Connecticut.
Crawford took home two golds medals, winning both the javelin (139'5") and shotput (43'5.25"). Deveau won two events as well, taking the 400-meter hurdles with a time of 1:03.87 and leading the 4×400 meter relay team to another first place finish. Overall, Deveau earned a whopping 28 points for UMass in the meet.
Deveau, Melissa Beaupre, Olivia Weir and Caroline Leung made up the winning 4×400 team with a time of 4:01.04.
Meghan Patrolia was another winner for the Minutewomen, taking first in the 100-meter hurdles with a time of 15.15 seconds. Colleen Sands was the final first place finisher for UMass, winning the 5000-meter in 17:16.55, 45 seconds ahead of Hartford's Carly Schuyler.
Also performing well were Margaret Riseborough (second place in shotput) and Tatiyanna Sanders (runner up in the 100-meter and long jump) to add depth to the Minutewomen's showing.
"The team performed very well, as expected," assistant coach John Adamson said. "We had a lot of confidence in the team going in and I think they worked hard to meet our expectations and perform at a very high level.
"Deveau and Sands were particular stand outs, but we knew that they could perform at this level and kudos to them for coming out and proving us right in the first meet of the season."
The Minutewomen's next meet is their home opener at the Leap Year Tri Meet on Saturday in Amherst, set to begin at noon.

With its mild, warm Mediterranean climate, summertime (between June and August) is the peak tourism season in Victoria. It is a great city to visit in spring between the months of March and May, or in autumn between September and November. During spring, clear sunny skies light up the beautiful city landscape and everything is in bloom. This is the perfect time to visit the renowned Butchart Gardens, enjoy the floral arrangements, statues and water features or take a ride on the rose carousel. Between September and November, rainfall increases and temperatures begin to drop. But it is off-peak season in the city, therefore air fares, accommodation rates and tourist presence in the city is lower. The weather conditions will still be fairly pleasant and there are multiple annual events to enjoy, such as the Victoria Fringe Theatre Festival and the Victoria Classic Boat Festival. Both take place from August to September.

It is essential that your routine vaccines that include the MMR vaccine, DPT, Chickenpox, Polio and yearly flu shots are updated before travel.
Victoria is a fairly safe city, however, it is wise to practice normal safety precautions. Keep your valuables and important documentation safe and watch out for petty crimes like bag-snatching or pick-pocketing. Keep an eye out for aggressive begging tactics among vagrants and avoid confrontation with them.
Even though a major earthquake is unlikely, Victoria is still an active seismic zone. In the event of an earthquake remember to find cover, stay where you are throughout the quake and to only go outside once the shaking stops. It may be a good idea to take out travel insurance.

Adani is involved in three times as many court cases with resource companies, compared to green groups. Sam Panthaky
Green groups not the only ones taking Adani to court
by esmith2014
20th Jun 2016 2:26 PM
GREEN groups may be copping the blame for Carmichael coal project delays, but Adani has been tied up in three times as many court cases with resources groups.
It's a point Mackay Conservation Group's Peter McCallum highlighted following a statement put out by Queensland Resources Council's Michael Roche last week, that said it was a "relentless barrage of 'lawfare'" from green acitivsts holding up the $16 billion coal mine.
Out of the 12 cases Adani has been involved with in the Queensland courts, nine are with resources companies, two are with environmental groups and one is with an indigenous group.
Adani is also involved in another Federal Court case with the Australian Conservation Foundation.
"It shows the Queensland Resources Council and the company are just focussed on making us the bad guys," Mr McCallum said.
"Really, the company is just as litigious as everyone else."
Politicians have also called for government to introduce a time limit on how long environmental groups have to launch these court cases.
However, Mr McCallum believes new legislation would only make the approvals process "even more convoluted and entangled" than now, because rather than simply initiating a case, groups would first fight for the right to litigate.
"There will be even more litigation as people try and establish themselves as a litigate," he said.
However, the Resource Industry Network's Mick Crowe argued that resource industry litigation was a normal part of the process, and was geared at finessing the details around the project rather than halting it altogether.
"It's a regular process in the resource companies, or in any company," Mr Crowe said.
"There's always someone suing you for something.
"The green litigation is about stopping the actual mine altogether."
And despite the resources industry's' dissatisfaction with the Chain of Responsibility Amendment Bill, introduced earlier in the year, he believed government could create legislation that would put a time-limit on environmental appeals.
"If someone could convince me that if we didn't build that mine, then people would just not bother, they wouldn't get it from Indonesia, or they wouldn't dig it up themselves, I'd say 'Ok. That's probably a fair enough environmental argument'," Mr Crowe said.
"But that's not the case. We're not the only coal in the world."
An Adani spokesman reiterated the company's' previous stance, stating it would begin construction in 2017, pending the resolution of existing "activist-driven lawfare" and no further appeals.
He said it was only the uncertainty over approvals putting the project at any risk.

Batam-based Radio Hang Says It "Strongly Rejects" Radical Ideologies
Channel NewsAsia
Batam-based religious radio station Radio Hang "strongly rejects" and opposes radical ideologies, terrorism and the Islamic State terror group, it said in a statement to Channel NewsAsia on Saturday (Aug 20).
Speaking to the Batam Pos, the radio station's manager refuted claims that it promotes radical messages, and encourages acts of violence as well. The station's manager also added that it is impossible to do so, because Radio Hang is monitored by the Broadcast Commission of Indonesia.
In response to its statement, Singapore's Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) reiterated that Radio Hang sometimes features speakers who preach extremist views. On Friday, MHA said two Singaporeans detained under the Internal Security Act (ISA) became radicalised after listening to the radio station.
On its Facebook page, Radio Hang describes itself as an Islamic station that preaches the message of Islam. Its reach extends to Singapore and Malaysia over the airwaves, and can be streamed online as well.
… However terrorism expert from the S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies Graham Ong-Webb said blocking the station is a short-term measure. "It works against us in the long term to put in information controls because what we need is more information, not less," he said.

Svarthalsad bulbyl (Neolestes torquatus) är en fågel i familjen bulbyler inom ordningen tättingar.

Utseende och läte
Svarthalsad bulbyl är en udda bulbyl som påminner om en törnskata. Hjässa och skuldror är grå, rygg och vingar olivgröna. Från näbben och genom öga och öra går ett svart band som formar ett brett halsband på gräddvita undersidan. Lätet är ett snabbt, ljust och gnälligt "chet-cherit-rit-rit-rit" medan den fylliga och melodiska sången stiger och sjunker i tonhöjd, återgiven som "choo-oo-cheloo-eo-loo-oe-loo".

Utbredning och systematik
Fågeln förekommer på savann från Gabon till Angola, sydöstra Demokratiska republiken Kongo och nordvästra Zambia. Den placeras som enda art i släktet Neolestes och behandlas som monotypisk, det vill säga att den inte delas in i några underarter. På grund av dess avvikande utseende placerades fågeln länge i familjen törnskator eller busktörnskator. Genetiska studier från 1999 bekräftar dock att den är en bulbyl.

Levnadssätt
Svarthalsad bulbyl hittas lokalt i beskogad högväxt gräsmark med spridda buskar. Den ses oftast i par.

Status
Arten har ett stort utbredningsområde och beståndet anses stabilt. Internationella naturvårdsunionen IUCN listar den därför som livskraftig (LC).

Disability discrimination – Discussing Paranoid Delusions in Sullivan v Bury Street
By Sarah ScholfieldSeptember 25, 2020Employment, For Business
Did an employee who was suffering from paranoid delusions have a disability?
No – according to the Employment Appeal Tribunal ("EAT") in the case of Sullivan v Bury Street Capital Limited.
The Equality Act 2010 ("EQA 2010") prohibits discrimination on the grounds of disability. To qualify for protection, employees must demonstrate that they have or had a disability at the relevant time. The EQA 2010 sets out a technical definition of disability which is a physical or mental impairment that has a substantial and long term adverse effect on an individual's ability to carry out day to day activities.
In the case of Sullivan v Bury Street Capital Limited the Employment Tribunal ("ET") and EAT were concerned with the last part of the test, that is whether an impairment is long term. The EQA 2010 makes it clear that an impairment will have a long term effect if:
It has lasted 12 months;
It is likely to last 12 months; or
It is likely to last for the rest of the person's life.
An employer's knowledge of disability is also important because an employer cannot be liable for direct disability discrimination, discrimination arising from disability or failure to make reasonable adjustments unless it knew, or should have known, about the employee's disability.
Facts of the case
Mr. Sullivan was employed by Bury Street Capital Limited ("Bury Street") as a Senior Sales Executive from 2008 until his dismissal in September 2017. Mr. Sullivan had a somewhat strained relationship with Mr. Drake, the Chief Executive of Bury Street, from the outset of his employment as a result of his relaxed approach to time keeping, attendance and documenting his activities.
In May 2013 Mr. Sullivan embarked on a short relationship with a Ukrainian woman. The relationship lasted 2 months following which Mr. Sullivan became convinced that he was being followed by a Russian gang who were monitoring his emails, internet use and calls. Mr. Drake became aware of Mr. Sullivan's beliefs about being stalked by a Russian gang in July 2013. He noted at the time that Mr. Sullivan was in a "bad place psychologically and physically" and that he was suffering from "extreme paranoia". Mr. Sulllivan was having difficulty sleeping and his behaviour at work had become erratic.
In September 2013 Mr. Sullivan joined Mr. Drake on a business trip to New York. Mr. Sullivan performed well on the trip. He subsequently saw a Doctor and Psychologist who both noted improvements in Mr. Sullivan's presentation and work relationships. Mr. Sullivan did still believe that he was being followed by a Russian gang but was able to ignore it and concentrate on his work.
Between July 2014 and September 2017 Mr. Drake conducted regular reviews with Mr. Sullivan. A consistent theme during those reviews was Mr. Sullivan's time keeping and attitude at work although there was no specific reference to the Russian gang problem. A colleague, who had joined Bury Street in September 2014 and who worked closely with Mr. Sullivan, was not aware of Mr. Sullivan suffering from paranoia and had not noticed any change in his behaviour or appearance during the period of his employment with Bury Street.
Mr. Sullivan's mental condition deteriorated again in April 2017 when his timekeeping and performance worsened. Mr. Drake's frustrations with Mr. Sullivan came to a head in September 2017 when he wrote to him on 8th September 2017 to dismiss on the grounds of his time keeping, lack of communication, unauthorised absence and lack of record keeping.
Mr. Sullivan issued proceedings for disability discrimination amongst other things.
Decision of the ET
The ET considered the issue of disability. Mr. Sullivan claimed that during the relevant period (August 2013 – September 2017) he was a disabled person by reason of his paranoia, paranoid delusions, stress, anxiety and depression. The ET accepted that the paranoid delusions that Mr. Sullivan began to suffer with in May 2013 did have a substantial adverse effect ("SAE") on him at that time but that this effect did not extend beyond September 2013. Whilst Mr. Sullivan still believed in the Russian gang throughout his employment this belief was no longer having a SAE on him; he had learned to ignore it and his performance and appearance improved as a result.
Mr. Sullivan's mental condition did deteriorate again in April 2017. However, bearing in mind how long the previous episode had lasted in 2013, the ET did not consider it likely that the SAE on Mr. Sullivan would last for 12 months or that it was likely to recur. In the circumstances, the ET concluded that his condition did not meet the definition of a disability in the EQA 2010.
In the alternative, the ET confirmed that if the condition did amount to a disability, Bury Street had no knowledge of the disability and therefore could not be liable for the claims.
Mr. Sullivan appealed to the EAT.
Decision of the EAT
The EAT rejected Mr. Sullivan's appeal and confirmed that he was not disabled. In its view, while Mr. Sullivan's paranoid delusions did have a SAE on his ability to carry out day to day activities, the condition was not long term as it was not likely to recur in the future.
The EAT drew a distinction between Mr. Sullivan's delusional beliefs (that persisted throughout) and the effect that such beliefs had on his ability to carry out day to day activities. The EAT took into account medical evidence and also the accounts of Mr. Sullivan's colleagues to determine that his condition did not have a SAE on him between September 2013 and April 2017. Mr. Sullivan's condition did deteriorate again in April 2017 and the SAE started again, but in the EAT's view it was not likely that it would last for 12 months
In terms of knowledge of disability, Mr. Sullivan argued that his colleagues' knowledge of his condition was irrelevant and that the ET should have focused on what Bury Street, as a corporate entity, knew or ought reasonably to have known. The EAT rejected this argument and made it clear that an individual's knowledge as an employee or agent of a company may be relevant in determining whether the company itself has the necessary knowledge of disability. That was found to be particularly relevant in this case as Bury Street was a small company with only 5 or 6 employee at any one time.
This case is a useful reminder of the statutory test for a "disability" and the importance of the effect of an impairment on an individual's ability to carry out day to day activities. In this regard, any adverse effect must have lasted 12 months, be likely to last for 12 months or to recur in future.
In this case, the fact Mr. Sullivan's mental impairment had previously resulted in a SAE that only lasted for a short time, gave Bury Street the ability to argue that any future recurrence is also likely to be short term and therefore not meet the definition of a disability in the EQA 2010.
Finally, when it comes to knowledge of disability, the case makes clear that employers can rely on evidence from colleagues who have worked closely with relevant individuals. Depending on their evidence, it may be the employer can argue that it had no knowledge of disability.

As the custodial parent, you have a right to live and work where you choose. The noncustodial parent has rights, too, including the right to visit your child. If you choose to move within your child's current school district, it probably won't spark any disagreements. If you decide to move to Spokane, your ex may want to modify your parenting agreement. As a family law attorney, I have represented parents on both sides of the issue. I'm Lori Saxion, and I can help you with child custody and relocation in Kent, Washington, and surrounding areas.
If you have a parenting plan, you are required by law to give a 60-day notice when you want to relocate with your children. If you don't, you could be found in contempt of court and fined or jailed. When you give notice, the noncustodial parent has 30 days to file an objection. Most parents want to be involved in their children's lives. When one moves away, it can open the wounds of divorce again.
Relocation doesn't have to be a major issue. Each parent can retain his or her rights to spend time with the children. As an experienced child custody and relocation lawyer in Kent, I have helped hundreds of families negotiate new parenting or custody agreements.
If you have questions about child custody and relocation, please contact The Law Offices of Lori M. Saxion.

Trending Clinical Topic: Antibiotics for UTI
Ryan Syrek
Each week, we identify one top search term, speculate about what caused its popularity, and provide an infographic on a related condition. If you have thoughts about what's trending and why, share them with us on Twitter or Facebook.
Given that more than half of all women experience a urinary tract infection (UTI) at some point in their lifetime, advances in treatment and insights into prophylaxis are closely watched. News about a potential new drug and findings related to prevention of recurrent UTI sparked interest, leading to this week's top trending clinical topic. On November 3, GSK announced that they were halting enrollment of a new phase 3 trial in response to substantial positive findings, on the basis of a recommendation by the Independent Data Monitoring Committee (see Infographic).
Gepotidacin is of particular interest given the growing concern about antibiotic resistance, which has become so prevalent that the World Health Organization recently began publishing a list of pathogens that pose the greatest threats. Several of those included (eg, Candida auris) are known to cause UTIs. GSK has announced that it will seek approval for gepotidacin and pursue peer-reviewed publication of study data early next year.
Recurrent UTI represents a significant challenge and is defined as two symptomatic episodes within 6 months or three episodes within 12 months. Experts say that the most important strategy is an individual consultation discussion, which has been shown to lower the frequency of recurrent UTIs through providing information, specifically about causes and behavioral measures. These include things like the recommendation to drink a sufficient, but not excessive, amount of fluids: approximately 1.5 L per day. Only when nonantibiotic therapy fails should antibiotic prophylaxis be considered, with a target of 3-6 months. Before starting therapy, the pathogen should be identified through a urine culture, and resistance testing should be performed. Single-use, postcoital antibiotic prevention may represent an alternative, particularly for women in whom a correlation between recurrent UTIs and sexual intercourse is suspected.
Earlier this year, a study found that a collection of inactivated bacteria, known as MV140, helped prevent recurrent UTI. In a randomized trial of 240 women, 3 months of daily administration resulted in 56% of women avoiding UTIs for 1 year, compared with 25% of women treated with placebo. A longer duration didn't seem to produce a significantly better outcome, as only 58% who received 6 months of treatment were UTI-free. The number of registered adverse events was 48 with 6 months of therapy, 76 with 3 months of therapy, and 81 with placebo.
Concerns about antibiotic use for UTI are common. This has led infectious disease specialists like Roni K. Devlin, MD, MBS, to reiterate that the antibiotic regimen for UTIs should be tailored to "ensure an appropriate bug-drug match" and should follow key recommendations. Devlin points to a recent study involving over 670,000 young women diagnosed with UTI: Almost half received an antibiotic that was inappropriate and more than 75% were prescribed antibiotics for a longer duration than was considered necessary. Devlin specifically advocates for clinical practice guidelines from the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA), which is currently working on updated guidance for acute uncomplicated cystitis and pyelonephritis treatment. IDSA has already updated information regarding the management of asymptomatic bacteriuria. This is a key point of emphasis in avoiding the risk for further antimicrobial resistance, says Devlin, who provided a list of patients who do not require either urinary screening or antibiotic treatment for asymptomatic bacteriuria:
Healthy premenopausal, nonpregnant women
Healthy postmenopausal women
Older, community-dwelling persons who are functionally impaired
Older persons who reside in long-term care facilities
Patients with diabetes
Patients who underwent renal transplant more than 1 month prior
Patients with nonrenal solid organ transplant
Patients with high-risk neutropenia
Patients with spinal cord injury
Patients with indwelling urethral catheters
Patients undergoing elective nonurologic surgery
Patients planning to undergo surgery for an artificial urine sphincter or penile prosthesis implantation
Patients living with implanted urologic devices
Finding the right balance between appropriate treatment and avoidance of further antibiotic resistance is a challenge when it comes to UTIs. This is why news about a potential new drug, and insights into prophylactic strategies, were met with such interest, leading to this week's top trending clinical topic.

Even With Insurance, EDs Can Cost a Bundle


Unfortunately, brand experiences online often underwhelm customers.
Western Union had a problem. Its ecommerce platform-driven digital experience was inflexible, static and "one size fits all." Serving over 200 countries in 70 languages, personalization, offer management and robust A/B testing is critical, but proved difficult. It's mobile products were poorly rated and underused.
To expand its core retail money transfer business and grow new distribution through its dot-com site and respond to the rapidly changing complexity of customer behavior and preferences across channels, Western Union needed a digital transformation.
Western Union has a strong retail background, with over 500,000 agent locations and 100,000 ATMs in more than 200 countries and territories, and 1 Billion customers served. Online, it processes 29 transactions per second, over 242 million C2C and 459 million business payments completed. Its core business is account-based money transfer, with additional products for bill payment, foreign exchange, insurance, stored value cards and mobile wallet.
The new solution is a CMS integration, with Adobe Experience Manager at the front-end. Experience Manager drives content assets, localization, targeting and personalization, while its ecommerce platform supports dynamic merchandising, advanced and international pricing.
Now each component on a transactional page is broken down into components that are configured in the Adobe Suite, coming from the ecommerce platform. This offers flexibility beyond just the Western Union site. For example, a fee calculator widget can be embedded in affiliate and partner sites and any new mobile products, impossible when hard-coded into a single page.
Marketers can now can do custom landing pages specific to customers in their context (country, returning customer, etc.) Instead of it taking 10 days before an offer can come together, dynamic quotes can be generated instantly.
The widget-component approach makes it easier to create A/B test variations, including elements that have commerce embedded in their experience.
Critical to Western Union's customer experience, the ability to serve the right currency and offers based on country, or pre-populate forms for returning visitors based on their previous interactions improve the customer experience tremendously.
Analyzing heaps and heaps of data (based on 1 Billion customers' interactions), Western Union has a good idea of who their customers are — though original assumptions were proven wrong!
For example, there's a misconception that immigrants traveling to and living in new cultures stick to the norms of their old culture. Americans moving to the Netherlands, for example, will embrace online bank transfer and move away from credit cards. This is important to understand when targeting offers in context throughout their life cycles.
The Philippines is a key market for Western Union. The site was able to present a tailored offer for US-Philippines transfers in support of flood victims.
With so many permutations of country-to-country transfers and the rules that have to fire for regulatory compliance, payments in and out, payment methods and so on, without a truly integrated system, things get complicated. The combination of localization and complex global pricing is key.
Injecting these technologies into its ecommerce solution enables Western Union to launch mobile apps with full functionality. The mobile app was very limited — one would start a transaction and at the end would be required to snail-mail more information. The result was poor experience and poor App Store ratings.
In less than 7 months, the app has close to a 5 star rated app.
The mobile optimized (m.dot) experience is also critical, as many customers still use feature phones, especially in the third world. In fact, Kenya and Uganda are way ahead of the West in mobile money transfer.

I want to share a personal experience with anyone considering buying a hot water heater in North America. When my wife and I moved into our house in Vancouver, we soon found we needed a new hot water heater. After much choice, we went with a Rheem brand since it was sold to us as a high quality, North American brand with a 8 year warranty. Were we ever taken for a ride though. The warranty turned out not to be worth the paper it was printed on. While the warranty did state it was "limited", we were lead to believe by Hillcrest Plumbing that if anything happened to our hot water heater, it would be replaced within the warranty period. After all, what does warranty mean? According to Rheem, even today you are protected on parts but don't be fooled. They are unscrupulous and are lying to you.
Our water heater let go and we had to call Hillcrest during off hours. They told us that Rheem and Hillcrest are no longer honoring their written warranties and due to a change in design and rules , would not be able to honor their warranty on parts. WFT??? This is a clear case of a large multi national company imposing a unilateral change on a contract due to their own lack of foresight. We, the people are being ripped off.
1. Do not believe anything Rheem promises in terms of warranty. They lied to us and did not honor their own written warranty. This website could just as easily be lying.
2. I will also never do business with Hillcrest Plumbing again. I urge you to consider this when looking for a plumber. Get references from any plumber. By contrast, there are lots of reputable firms like Roto Rooter and others who have never ripped us off.
3. Rheem Canada also seems to handle the Ruud brand. Be wary.
to carry and install, consider how your customers will feel about you if this happens to them. It will cost you money if too many people experience lies like this.
If you are one of the 10,000 people who read this blog every month, please pass this on to others in North America.
