Terumo Enters 100th Anniversary Year
TOKYO, JAPAN - January 5, 2021 - Terumo Corporation (TSE: 4543) is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year - marking 100 years of 'Contributing to Society through Healthcare' on September 17, 2021. The company has established 'Stride Ahead' as a slogan, to celebrate and connect all Terumo associates around the world. The phrase encompasses the company's belief that big steps forward will lead to a better future for healthcare.
Takayoshi Mimura, Chairman of the Board, Terumo Corporation commented: "Terumo originally began as a small thermometer manufacturer in Tokyo on September 17, 1921. Since then, 100 years have passed, and both we and the world of healthcare have witnessed many changes. Although Terumo was once just a small factory, it has now grown into a group employing more than 26,000 associates, offering a broad range of products and services in more than 160 countries and regions around the world, from more than 30 facilities located globally. Ever since the very first moment of our foundation, we have been driven by an enduring belief in contributing to the development of healthcare, always keeping medical professionals and patients in mind. We are truly grateful to all those who have supported us over the course of so many years and sincerely promise to continue meeting challenges undeterred by difficulties, holding close to heart Terumo's founding vision and aspirations."
The company started as a Japanese thermometer manufacturer in 1921. Terumo's second product was Japan's first disposable syringe launched in 1963. Since then, Terumo has developed many first-in-Japan or first-in-the-world products including the world's first porous hollow-fiber oxygenator launched in 1982.
By continuously striving to meet various needs in medical settings, Terumo has become a global company with its extensive business portfolio ranging from vascular intervention and cardio-surgical solutions, blood transfusion and cell therapy technology, to medical products essential for daily clinical practice such as transfusion systems, diabetes care, and peritoneal dialysis treatments.
Shinjiro Sato, President and CEO, Terumo Corporation commented: "Terumo's 100-year journey is one we have walked together with the ongoing advancement of healthcare. At its heart, this shared journey has been about facing society's healthcare needs and providing high-quality products for the healthcare field. Our group mission of "Contributing to Society through Healthcare" has always guided us throughout our long history. With the advent of 100-year lifespans and a new wave of digitalization transforming the medical field, we face a new range of needs, such as the enhancement of preventive care, the extension of the healthy years of life and the development of individualized medical care. As we enter the next 100 years, our aim is to reinvent ourselves, without being limited to past successes. We will make the most of our overall group strengths to meet healthcare's new challenges."

Origin of Terumo
When World War I broke out in 1914, Japan faced critical thermometer shortages. Engineer Eiji Takeuchi manufactured and sold thermometers at Takeuchi Terumo Works. However, the business faced financial problems and Mr. Takeuchi sought help from his acquaintance, Dr. Miozo Sasagawa, Chairman of the Tokyo Medical Association. Dr. Sasagawa knew that doctors needed high-quality thermometers, and this led to their determination to establish a company succeeding Mr. Takeuchi's business.
On September 17, 1921, Dr. Shibasaburo Kitasato, Chairman of the Japan Medical Association, led the first general meeting, and Terumo Corporation (known at the time as Sekisen Ken-onki Corporation) was founded with Dr. Sasagawa as the first president.
Terumo (TSE: 4543) is a global leader in medical technology and has been committed to "Contributing to Society through Healthcare" for 100 years. Based in Tokyo and operating globally, Terumo employs more than 28,000 associates worldwide to provide innovative medical solutions in more than 160 countries and regions. The company started as a Japanese thermometer manufacturer, and has been supporting healthcare ever since. Now, its extensive business portfolio ranges from vascular intervention and cardio-surgical solutions, blood transfusion and cell therapy technology, to medical products essential for daily clinical practice such as transfusion systems, diabetes care, and peritoneal dialysis treatments. Terumo will further strive to be of value to patients, medical professionals, and society at large.

Most companies understand that high staff turnover is undesirable. And despite some blips, overall turnover in the UK has largely been trending downwards over the past decade or so.
Some types of organisations, industries and sectors do have it worse than others, however, and in this guide, we'll get to the bottom of why high turnover can cause companies to hemorrhage money - as well as people.
So, how much does turnover really cost companies? As you might expect, the answer can vary depending on the roles where this is experienced and a multitude of other contributing factors.
A 2014 report from Oxford Economics analysed turnover across five sectors and pegged the average cost at £30,614 - with the main financial loss resulting from reduced output until a new staff member is in place and fully trained up. On average, it was found new workers take 28 weeks to reach their optimum productivity level, costing companies upwards of £25,000.
Similarly, companies were found to spend nearly £5,500 on the logistical costs associated with replacing an employee, including recruitment agency fees, charges for advertising a vacancy and time lost on interviewing prospective candidates.
Other, less tangible, issues may also come into play within organisations that experience high turnover. Staff churn could be symptomatic of wider cultural issues and there's a raft of evidence that a healthy culture can contribute to business success.
Losing staff also puts your remaining employees under more pressure. If people aren't replaced, work must be distributed and if this isn't addressed in the long-term, it can lead to high levels of stress.
In some organisations we've worked with, we've seen front-line staff badly affected by this. In one case, employees were essentially taking turns to be off sick in order to escape from ever-expanding workloads.
Some managers and business owners may be tempted to use this practice as a 'crutch', however, in our experience, they quickly come around once it's made clear just how much they're losing in managing high turnover and constantly replacing staff.
Many businesses don't try and address high turnover rates until they've become problematic. A certain amount of churn is expected and after all, not all turnover is necessarily bad. While no one wants to lose a valuable, high-performing staff member - departures from challenging staff who clash with your company's culture and values can be welcome.
But over time, a trend towards persistently high employee churn rates can lead to significant cultural and operational issues that will affect business performance and profitability.
So what are the best ways to tackle troublesome turnover?
A knee-jerk reaction to high turnover is to focus on the financials. After all, people work to live - right? But stumping up for pay rises, bonuses, or other improvements to remuneration might not be a silver bullet for ingrained cultural problems.
Reams of research has found that while important, pay isn't top of the tables for driving employee engagement. LinkedIn's 2015 study into how and why people change jobs found that only 34 per cent of employees left a role due to dissatisfaction with the financial package.
The desire for more challenging and exciting work was much more likely to provoke a job switch and the top motive for changing jobs was highlighted as career opportunities.
"People are leaving their jobs in search of better career opportunities. Yet recruiting leaders still have a hard time getting quality candidates to respond. Convince the best candidates by showing how your jobs & talent brand connect with people's deepest career aspirations" advised the report.
Dan Ariely, Professor of Psychology and Behavioural Economics at Duke University, recorded similar findings in his investigations into job satisfaction. His team set up a range of experiments involving building Lego sculptures for varying amounts of remuneration.
While the pay structure remained the same, the elements that emulated job satisfaction were switched up and researchers measured how many sculptures would be built before participants gave up. In one group, the completed sculptures were put to one side and in another - they were disassembled in front of the people who'd built them.
The first group produced nearly double the number of sculptures as the latter and similar results were recorded in a range of other scenarios, leading Professor Ariely to conclude that ignoring people's performance was nearly as bad as destroying the efforts in front of their eyes.
"Ignoring gets you a whole way out there. The good news is that by simply looking at something that somebody has done, scanning it and saying 'Uh huh' that seems to be quite sufficient to dramatically improve people's motivations. So the good news is that adding motivation doesn't seem to be so difficult. The bad news is that eliminating motivations seems to be incredibly easy, and if we don't think about it carefully, we might overdo it," he said.
The reasons for high turnover can vary greatly from one organisation to the next, so there's no one-size-fits-all solution to reducing it. Instead, we'd advise taking an objective look (or even getting outside help in assessing) your company's culture.
Many employees will gravitate to your organisation because of its reputation and if their expectations aren't met - demoralisation can set in quickly. It's hard to overstate the importance of leadership and management in retaining skilled staff and many employees won't hesitate to flock to greener pastures if these are found lacking.
As covered in our post on the Peter Principle - many managers are thrust into the roles after succeeding in a non-managerial post. While they may be competent in performing their role, that's no guarantee that they'll be equally skilled in managing other staff in that position.
The answer to this lies in equipping managers with the skills they need to build fruitful and productive working relationships and while it may necessitate some up-front costs, should pay dividends in facilitating the smooth functioning of teams.
High turnover can often be symptomatic of bad hiring practices and while finding the right person for a role can be a perennial problem - there's many steps you can take to improve your recruitment and stymie any potential culture or personality clashes before they become an issue.
Again, there's an up-front cost of time and resource to consider, but by clearly setting out your hiring aims and the criteria by which you'll judge the suitability of candidates - you can prevent having to repeat the exercise a few months down the line.
More importantly, it's crucial that you make sure your employees feel like they're being heard. Encourage - and make time for - regular get-togethers between employees and managers to ensure they're getting all the support and mentorship they need to blossom.
There's a common worry that if you invest in training staff, they might up sticks and join one of your competitors. This is a somewhat cynical tack to take, however, and we'd encourage you to look upon training as a long-term investment that'll enable staff to take on more - and diverse - responsibilities.
Make sure your staff get a say in how they're trained and in what areas they specialise. Promoting feelings of control and agency among your employees will help you to create a motivated and dynamic workforce that's better-equipped to tackle challenges.
If you're committed to improving retention, there's few better ways to get a handle on what's important to your staff than to ask them directly.
Surveying new starters, long-term employees and those who are about to leave can help you glean invaluable insights on the driving forces behind why people stay - and why they go. Providing anonymity will yield better results, but be prepared to be confronted with honest assessments of what staff perceive to be the pros and cons of your organisation.
As always, we want to hear your thoughts. So if you've had any experiences - good or bad - around retention, engagement or turnover that you'd like to share - don't hesitate to drop us a tweet or get in touch via LinkedIn.

"Just wanted to drop ya'll a note to say I love the new mountain bike. After a month of riding I'm convinced it's perfect for me and the trails around here. Once I get the big tires rotating it's about the most plush and stable ride imaginable. Thanks to your superb design it's remarkably nimble.

International Capital Markets : Developments and Prospects

Since its establishment January 1, 1983, The Institute of International Finance (IIF) has increased its membership to 196. While most members are commercial banks, a number of official export credit agencies have joined as associate members in the past year, as have some multinational corporations. The IIF's member banks account for about 80 percent of global lending to developing countries.
A primary objective of the Institute is to improve the timeliness and quality of information on sovereign borrowers available to banks and other international lenders. During the past year, the IIF expanded the database that it provides on-line to members. The database now includes approximately 150 series for more than 30 countries, and is being progressively expanded to cover a total of 40–50 developing countries which have significant outstanding borrowings from commercial banks. Information is provided on fiscal policy, domestic economic performance, and the external sector, including estimates of liabilities to main creditor groups.
The IIF also prepared full reports on 33 countries. Staff have visited more than 20 countries, including Mexico, Argentina, Venezuela, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Korea, Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia, Egypt, Morocco, Côte d'Ivoire, Turkey, and Hungary. Informal visits have been paid to Greece and Nigeria. Missions normally include both IIF staff and representatives of commercial banks.
In addition to its work on specific countries, the IIF has undertaken a number of general, policy-oriented initiatives. The institutional focus of this work is the IIF's Working Party on the Future of International Lending, which comprises 50 participants. In 1984, the Working Party created four specialized committees to study the restructuring process; legal and regulatory matters; technical issues, in particular the currency composition of lending; and new initiatives in international lending by private banks and the public sector, as well as obstacles to development of long-term solutions to financing LDC development. The main conclusions of the committees' reports, made public in September 1984. included an endorsement of techniques designed to foster an early return to voluntary lending, multiyear reschedulings, provision of currency options, and exclusion of trade financing from reschedulings.
In the second half of 1984, the Working Party set up two study groups, both of which involve regulators, officials from multilateral agencies, lawyers, and accountants as well as bank representatives. The primary objective of the first study group—the Task Force on the Regulatory, Accounting, and Tax Treatment of Cross-Border Lending—is to conduct a study to clarify the implications of different national policies, procedures, and practices in the main creditor countries for cross-border lending. A main objective is to find potential ways to overcome some distortions and impediments to international bank lending resulting from such differences. Initially, the North American and European members of the Task Force met separately in Washington and London. Another meeting, which brought together accountants, bankers, and regulators from Europe, Japan, and North America, was held in November 1985 in Washington. The second study group, the Study Group on Insurance and Guarantees, is examining possible mechanisms to insure bank loans or portfolios and spread international risk. It has met several times in Washington and London.
In addition to the Working Party, the Institute has set up an Economic Advisory Committee, composed of the chief international economists of some 20 member banks, to advise the Institute on all aspects of its country economic work, as well as to provide a forum to discuss matters which go beyond the analysis of individual debtor countries, such as alternative scenarios for the world economy and their implications for the resolution of the debt problem. As part of the general services which the Institute provides for its members, the IIF publishes two surveys on a regular basis: a "Survey of Debt Restructurings by Banks" and a "Survey of Official Reschedulings and Balance of Payments Support."
Prior to the Spring 1985 meetings of the IMF Interim Committee and the World Bank/IMF Development Committee, which focused on the debt problem, the IIF's Board met to approve a letter to the Chairman of the Interim Committee from the IIF Managing Director, Andre de Lattre. The letter highlighted some issues essential for a sound development of the banks' role in providing finance to developing countries and was accompanied by a memorandum on factors affecting the future of international lending.

Those with Android 5.0 or later can download the Android Auto app and get the full Android Auto experience
https://www.pcmag.com/news/app-brings-android-auto-to-any-car
Google's Android Auto is now available(Opens in a new window) to anyone with an Android device.
Android-based devices with Android 5.0 or later can download the Android Auto app and plug it into their cars for the full Android Auto experience, which is essentially Google's answer to traditional in-car infotainment systems. Previously, drivers needed the Android Auto app and a compatible vehicle.
"Whether your phone is connected to a compatible car display, or placed in a car mount on the dashboard, Android Auto brings your favorite apps and services into one place, making them accessible in safer and seamless ways," Google says. "You can bring your music with you with apps like Spotify, Pandora or Google Play Music, and make calls or send messages with hands-free voice commands. And of course, get turn-by-turn directions to your next destination with Google Maps."
Google recommends customers buy Bluetooth-supported car mounts.
Android Auto, which Google first announced in 2014, is already available in vehicles from Chevrolet, Volkswagen, and Hyundai. Next year, Ford's entire 2017 US vehicle lineup will come equipped with Sync 3—which adds compatibility with Android Auto and Apple's rival service, CarPlay.
Why Toyota Was Smart to Snub Apple, Google
At its I/O conference earlier this year, Google signaled a desire to change up how Android Auto works and make it easier for those with Android-based smartphones to get the smart car technology in their vehicles. Check out the full presentation in the video below.
Android Auto 2.0, meanwhile, is rolling out now to more than 30 countries. Google also teased improvements to the app's hands-free calling features, which should roll out at a later date.

CMDC board member and Havas Media VP Maura Hanley on a native ad model that sells products and the value in branded stunts.
As a counterpoint Ben Lerer from Thrillist Media Group declared – in his presentation "Back to the Future of Media" - if you are renting your audience, you are going to lose. The Lerer model invites brands to participate in a way that is "native" to the editorial environment, with relevant e-commerce-enabled content. If he is correct in his assertion that only 17% of digital ad spend will be non-programmatic by 2017, then traditional publishers better start exploring more innovative business models.


The welcome mat at Places In The Home is working overtime. Several of our family members are taking to the spring holiday road, and our house is do drop in central. Good visits begin with good hosting and good hosting begins with a stress free host or hostess. Entertaining is supposed to be a fun for guests and hosts alike, isn't it? I know I have a much better entertaining experience if I access and assign a theme, go with the entertaining with ease flow and keep the focus on comfortable surroundings, inviting touches and relaxing times.
Texas times and family memories will be a hot topic of conversation. Our company's travels begin in Texas Bluebonnet country, and with Texas being the common denominator of our family tree, I played it up in theme and setting. Farmhouse chic makes an effortless foundation to build your theme upon.
A simple arrangement of carnations mixed with greenery and placed beside an even simpler arrangement of apples and bananas in a milk glass center bowl provides a nice centerpiece in a farmhouse chic kind of way.
Fresh flowers from the floral department of the local grocery store are my weakness, and when the word clearance enters into the picture my shopping cart runneth over. You really get your money's worth with carnations. Carnations can last for weeks with an every other day water change and a quick stem trim. I use tepid water, scale back leaves from the stems to prevent contact with the water, and place a couple of drops of food coloring in the water.
From recipes to table setting decor, I like to source from within meaning I like to use what I have on hand. A great home decor clearance sale and dollar store items purchased in bulk can provide all the entertaining with ease elements needed for a well designed themed tablescape.
Into each case of design and decorating a little if kitchen kitsch is wrong, I don't want to be right will fall. The method to my madness lies deeply rooted in the from which I came from principle. I picked up several sets of rooster dish towels at the local dollar store back during the holidays knowing full well they would come in handy. Paired with copper napkin rings I found on clearance at Dillard's a couple of years ago, the dish towels made great dinner napkins.
The Places In The Home gang comes from a long line of hen on nest dish collectors. The women of our family felt no respectable kitchen and/or breakfast room decor complete without the addition of at least one hen on nest dish.
On the menu front I aim to please. Round our dinner table, quality rules over quantity which lines up perfectly with easy menu planning. As long as the iced tea is sweet and I keep the serving sizes in just a bite territory it is all good and tasty. The culinary rule of KISS (keep it salad simple) always applies.
I set up a salad buffet for first course serve yourself ease. Individual Mason jar salads layered with shredded iceberg lettuce, fresh tomato, chopped ham, green onion, Feta cheese crumbles, homemade buttermilk dressing and a dash of kosher salt and fine black pepper were a hit with the just a bite crowd.
Biscuit BLTs with Peach Mayonnaise bring back memories of summers spent in Texas at my great-grandmother's house. Traditions tastes so good!
Entertaining goes hand in hand with spring and summer, and entertaining with ease goes hand in hand with y'all come back now, ya hear!

Q: Automatic Grouping/Sorting of Nested-Lists? I am currently trying to implement a web tool with a capable web developer, but we are stuck on one functionality.
It's about draggable nested lists, which should be grouped and sorted automatically according to different attributes.
The "draggable" is not the problem but the automatic creation of parent & child nested lists and the automatic distribution of the products into the corresponding lists.
For a better understanding I have made a
Figma-Prototype, maybe you will understand what I mean.
I have a database of products with attributes like "producer", "product category", "sub-category", "country" and "region". (However the example is just a table, in reality we made the DB in MongoDB)

I want the user to be able to change the order (drag&drop) and also create new lists(Nested-List Parents & Childrens). However, I would like to spare the Users from having to start at 0 and create and fill all lists manually, for example, when it its just about grouping and sorting "only" by product category.
Is this even Possible? We are working with React (MERT-stack).
Thank you!!
We havent an idea where to start, tbh.

Q: App crashing when i try to change activity Intent I've been trying to fix this for weeks but failed, when I click on login (indicated with the id "lin") to open a new activity the app crash, i don't know if it's a problem with the Intent or something else, here is the code.  The manifest should be ok so I think it's a problem in the MainActivity with Intent ab. The other activity is called Qrcode. I tried to change appcompatactivty to activity but didn't work, i don't really know what to do.
Edit: I posted the code of the qrcode activity, i got it from the answers of this question : Android, How to read QR code in my application?, only for educational purpose of course.
Edit 2: logcat posted, sorry for any issues with asking this question, it's the first question i ask here.

A: ur code in MainActivity seems ok and I think don't have any problem.
In my opinion your Qrcode Activity has some bugs in it, like onCreate method,
you should see the Logcat logs in android Studio, btw u can attach the Qrcode activity codes here, it is really helpful.
another way to find the bug is by using the try-catch in your code and log the exception

A: Here's the error

Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'void android.widget.Button.setOnClickListener(android.view.View$OnClickListener)' on a null object reference
at com.example.h24distributori.Qrcode.onCreate(Qrcode.java:59)

What does it mean?
You are trying to setOnClickListener on a null object reference.
Check the next line in the log

    at com.example.h24distributori.Qrcode.onCreate(Qrcode.java:59)

"QrCode.java:59" This means that the error is in QrCode activity on line 59.
You are setting a onclicklistener to 'button' on line 59. This means that 'button' variable is null.
But I can see that you have initialized the button variable

        button = (Button)findViewById(R.id.button);

So why is it still null?
There is no button with id R.id.button, so findViewById() returns null. Check the QrCode activity layout xml

When people tell me that they no longer have a relationship with someone, I know this is untrue. No matter how great the gap that divides two people, no matter how vitriolic or rare their interactions, even if these interactions are basically non-existent, the truth is that the relationship persists. It may not be a great relationship or be particularly rewarding for either member, but it continues to be there, if only barely, nonetheless.


With England flying high at the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia, watfordfc.com delved through the archives to find out which English midfield man Will Hughes grew up idolising.
"Growing up my hero was always Steven Gerrard," Hughes told the club's matchday programme. "From a young age I remember watching him at Liverpool.
Hughes said: "The way he carried himself and others made him an inspirational leader and he always wanted to win. He had everything.
England face Croatia in the semi-finals on Wednesday July 11 at 7pm.


My problems began in the summer of 2001. I had been having pain in my face that was diagnosed as sinus. I had 2 surgeries within 6 weeks, and seemed to be cured. Around that time my blood pressure started to go up, and my primary doctor started trying me on all different kinds of medicine. I also started to gain weight, which I thought was due to the prednisone I was taking for my sinus troubles.
The primary doctor sent me for an EKG, and treadmill stress test, which were normal. He dismissed my high pulse and high BP as hereditary, as there is heart disease in my family. I figured that if they got my BP under control I was fine. Wrong. I continued for a couple of months doing O.K., and then one day woke up with major pain in my back. That was diagnosed as a sacroiliac strain and I was given pain pills and muscle relaxers. The pain soon spread to my right groin area, and my gynecologist decided to do a CT scan of my pelvis.
During the scan they discovered cysts on both of my ovaries and a small mass on my right adrenal gland. They told me that the mass was nothing to worry about. The GYN removed my right ovary in July 2002. The incision got infected and took a very long time to heal. The pain did not go away, and the GYN thought I was wanting pain pills. I switched doctors and the new doc sent me for another CT scan. That showed the mass to be 1 x 2 cm. She referred me back to my primary doctor.
I should say that during this I was becoming heat intolerant, and every time I go outside my hands swell. My BP was becoming unmanageable and my pulse was very fast. I was gaining weight in my face and abdomen, and was (am) very tired. Still working full time, and having the added problem of not being eligible for promotion because of my attendance. The very least bit of exertion makes me breathless. In Jan. of 2002 we went to Disney World for 3 days. Now I can't make it through the grocery store.
Anyway, my primary sent me for an MRI of the adrenals and back and the mass had grown to 1.5 x 2.5 and I have a bulging disc at L5.The primary still didn't think the mass was a problem, but I asked for a referral to an endo (HMO's, sigh) and he told me it would take a month, so he was going to send me to a surgeon instead. More wasted time. The surgeon was puzzled as to why I was there, and sent me to an endo. Finally! The endo has tested me for a pheochromocytoma (negative), and thyroid tests all were normal, and so he sent me for the overnight dex. test, which I did yesterday, and something I haven't heard of but will do anyway, which is a 17 hydroxy corticosterone test. He also suggested that I was having panic attacks, but this is more than that. My WBC was elevated, as was my glucose. He sent me back to my primary once again, as my BP is out of control.
I missed 3 days of work last week and went to the ER with my BP. They now have me on 3 different medicines for it, and it is still high sometimes. I have given up obsessing about it and have resigned myself to whatever will happen will happen. My husband thinks I am "psycho" sometimes, and I do have very bad mood swings. I have never wanted to have a disease as much as I want to have Cushing's. Although I don't have some of the symptoms, these are the ones I have: High Blood Pressure, weight gain in my abdomen, face, back and neck. Exhaustion, mood swings, heat intolerance, elevated WBC, elevated glucose, headaches and back pain, almost daily. Will add more when the test results come in.

DoeZoo Insektenwereld, ook wel bekend als Natuurpark Insektenwereld of NatuurDoePark Insektenwereld of NatuurDoeZoo Insektenwereld, is een dierentuin in het Groningse dorp Leens. De dierentuin richt zich vooral op insecten en heeft daarnaast een aantal andere soorten, met name insectenetende planten en insectenetende diersoorten.

DoeZoo is een zorgdierentuin, wat inhoudt dat mensen met een beperking dagbestedingen en begeleidend werk verrichten in de dierentuin.

Geschiedenis
Het park opende zijn deuren in 1998 als Insektenwereld. Het begon als hobby, maar groeide in de loop der jaren uit tot een klein dierenpark. In het begin richtte het park zich vooral op insecten, maar in de loop der jaren is het aanbod vergroot met onder andere insectenetende planten en insectenetende diersoorten. In 2003 was het park te klein geworden en omdat er geen uitbreidingsmogelijkheden waren op de toenmalige locatie, werd er besloten om het park te laten verhuizen. Het park verhuisde in 2004 vanaf de straat Valge naar de straat De Wierde. De voormalige camping de Marne werd de nieuwe locatie van Insektenwereld. Intussen was in 2003  een stichting opgericht met als doel het ontwikkelen en onderhouden van een natuur- en milieueducatiecentrum (natuurdoecentrum) in Leens.

Diersoorten
DoeZoo heeft verschillende dieren. Het park richt zich vooral op insecten en insectenetende planten en insectenetende diersoorten, maar ook andere diersoorten zijn in het park te vinden, zoals onder andere:

Eclipsing the 1,000 yard rushing mark is a goal most running backs hope to accomplish over the course of a season.
Only three games in, Isaiah Woullard is just 281 yards shy of that milestone.
According to MaxPreps national statistical leaders for rushing yards, the Presbyterian Christian running back would rank 10th in the country and No. 1 in Mississippi. In the Bobcats first three games, Woullard racked up 80 carries for 719 yards and eight touchdowns.
"The guy is special," PCS coach Joey Hawkins said. "He can carry it 30 times a game and not get tired. I've had some special backs in my coaching coach but nobody can carry it like this guy."
The 5-foot-9, 195-pound junior began his varsity career at the end of the 2013 season. Woullard rushed for 942 yards as a freshman and 1454 yards as a sophomore.
Against West Marion in Week 1, Woullard picked up 171 yards on 26 carries, ran in a score and threw a touchdown pass. In a win over Perry Central, the PCS running back carried the ball 37 times for 291 yards and four touchdowns. Last week vs. Parklane, Woullard had 26 carries for 257 yards and three touchdowns.
That's an average of 239.6 yards per game. If he keeps going at this rate, Woullard will amass 2635.6 rushing yards by the end of the regular season.
"He just loves the game and gets better every single rep. I mean it, every single rep," Hawkins said. "He's got a jump cut, a spin move, can stick his foot in the ground and bank it outside. Every rep, every practice he gets better."
North Pontotoc's Zay Cullens is currently listed as the rushing leader in Mississippi with 658 yards and 11 touchdowns. Presbyterian Christian has not updated its stats in MaxPreps, thus why Woullard is not listed officially.


Chico"s David Hernandez was named the National Alliance of Two-Year College Athletic Administrators Male Scholar Athlete of the Year award winner for 2009.
The award is given to the male and female student athlete who best demonstrates outstanding accomplishment and leadership in academics, athletics and citizenship.
Hernandez swam and graduated from Pleasant Valley High and attended Santa Rosa Junior College the past two years. He is majoring in kinesiology and has attained a 4.0 grade point average while competing on SRJC"s men"s swim team.
He was a state championship qualifier and finalist while also serving as swim team captain this past season. He is ranked in the college"s top 10 in numerous events, including school records in the 200-yard medley and free relays. He has garnered All-American recognition in the 100 and 200 butterfly, 200 free relay, and the 200 and 400 medley relays. In the past two swim seasons, he has led the Bear Cubs to two Big 8 Conference titles and to third- and second-place finishes respectively in the California community college state swim championship.
Hernandez is a Doyle Scholarship recipient and has been on the President"s List and a Commitment to Excellence Award winner each of his four semesters. He was also a two-time Academic All-American. Recently he was honored by the Santa Rosa East Rotary Club as their 2009 Outstanding Student Award winner.
Next year he plans to continue his academic and athletic pursuits at the University of the Pacific in Stockton.
Simpson University athletic director Joe Griffin announced on Friday the hiring of new head volleyball coach Christy Swagerty-Vilas, whose husband, Marc Vilas, is now an assistant men"s basketball coach.
A Chico native, Swagerty-Vilas is familiar with Simpson from being with NBC Camps for 10 years.
She was a four-time captain and lettered in both varsity volleyball and basketball in high school at Champion Christian, where she earned several league and division honors, as well as leading both her volleyball and basketball teams to a Northern Section title her junior year.
She continued her athletic career in volleyball as a three-year starter at The Master"s College, an NAIA Division I school in Santa Clarita, where she led her team at the NCCAA volleyball championships to a third-place finish her senior year. She was the school"s all-time career assist leader, and a two-time GSAC, NAIA and NCCAA Academic All-American.
Swagerty-Vilas coached as an assistant to her high school volleyball and basketball programs during her senior year of high school. She spent two years coaching one 18-and-under and two 16-and-under club volleyball teams with Point West Mizuno Volleyball Club out of Thousand Oaks. She has also been at NBC Camps as a coach and master teacher since 2002 and is currently in her second year as the NBC Volleyball Director. Swagerty-Vilas worked as a personal trainer and a volleyball and basketball coach at Division IV Santa Fe Christian in Solana Beach.

IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD…..
Today, South Carolina-based rockers, ISLANDER release their cover of R.E.M.'s "It's The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)," their first bit of music released since signing to Better Noise Music. The band took a break from writing their upcoming album to cover this timely track, in recognition of the worldwide pandemic and the toll it has taken on the Carvajal family. The band's brothers, Mikey and Chris Carvajal, wanted to use the track to raise funds for a cause close to their (and their Aunt's) hearts.
Listen to "It's The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)": HERE
PIVOT LINK
The world is being hit hard by COVID-19. Our hearts especially go out to the NYC community and everyone struggling right now. Our Aunt/Tia Lolin is one of the many that have passed away because of this terrible virus. So this effort to raise funds is dedicated to her huge heart and love for her neighbors. She was always thinking of others before herself. In honor of Tia Lolin, a portion of proceeds from this track will go to the NYC Low-Income Artist + Freelancer Relief Fund to support the artists and freelancers that are struggling in her hometown of NYC. We love you, fellow artists. We love you, Tia Lolin. – Islander
Founded in 2011, the band has released two albums (winning Loudwire album of the year in 2014). The band has also received support from many of their peers within the music community and have stayed busy touring with bands such as Korn, Papa Roach, I Prevail, Stone Sour, Babymetal, P.O.D., and many, many more.

AWOLNATION AT THEIR BEST
THIS IS YOUR SONG


I have a Huawei P20 Lite and updated it this Monday to the version appears as ANE-LX1 8.0.0.146(C461). Today I noticed that apps using the accelerometer, gyroscope and magnetometer data (such as Compass, Google Maps or a 360 degree video on YouTube) don't react when I move and rotate the device. HiCare smart diagnostics show no errors after "gravity sensor" test.
I would be very glad if anyone can help. Thanks!
Sorry to hear of the situation but rest easy since from your description it sounds like it is just a software conflict.
A quick factory reset will sort this out for you. To do a factory reset, you simply have to go into Settings- on top there is a search bar - just search for the word "Reset". Among the search results presented there will be Factory Reset. It will ask for a confirmation and then proceed to delete all internal memory from the device restoring it to a factory condition.
Before doing a Factory Reset we do recommend doing a backup of all important personal data to a external source of your choice.
I have tried factory reset but it did not work. I had to change the device.
I seem to have the same problem with my P20 lite.
When I open up the compass app, it's stuck on N0° and the leveling thing on 9°.
I've found some similar posts out there already, all with the same story.
Has there been a fix to this problem yet? Because most seem to think it was due to an update.
PS: when I run the diagnostics tool from HiCare, it does give an error in my case.
In regards to your situation, could you kindly open the compass application and perform a calibration test?
After performing the calibration test, kindly perform a diagnostic in HiCare once more.
If the error persists, I would recommend having the device inspected by one of our engineers at the service center for a more hands-on approach.

Meet Sayer, the steering wheel of the future
Written by: Tom Austin-Morgan | Published: 05 September 2017
Jaguar Land Rover will reveal its intelligent and connected steering wheel of the future, Sayer, during the inaugural Tech Fest at Central St Martins art, design and technology college in London, held between 8 and 10 September 2017.
The concept steering wheel is designed to live in your home and will act like Amazon's Echo, Apple's Siri or Microsoft's Cortana. Sayer, named after one of the most prominent designers from Jaguar's past, Malcolm Sayer, is said to be the first voice-activated artificial intelligence steering wheel that will be able to carry out hundreds of tasks. For example, it could enable membership of Jaguar's proposed on-demand service club, which offers either sole ownership or the option of sharing the car with others in your community.
Need to be at a meeting two hours away from home by 8am tomorrow? Simply ask Sayer from the comfort of your living room and it will work out when you need to get up, when a car needs to autonomously arrive at your door and even advise which parts of the journey you might enjoy driving yourself.
Jaguar Land Rover's vision of the future of autonomous, connected and electric cars where people don't own a car, but instead call upon the vehicle of your choice where and when you need it. This means that, rather than doing away with the steering wheel altogether like other autonomous and connected car designs, Sayer could be the only part of the car you ever own.

Upgrades To UNLV Track Underway After $1 Million Gift From Clark County
unlv.edu
The Clark County Commission has its hands full with public safety issues, the airport, University Medical Center, housing and planning.
So what's it doing giving $1 million to UNLV for more bleachers?
Former County Commissioner Lawrence Weekly headed the project as one of his final initiatives before terming out as a commissioner.
"These are dollars that are earmarked specifically for recreational uses and you can't designate them or repurpose them for anything else," Weekly explained.
Weekly said he had been talking to high school and UNLV track and field coaches about what their student-athletes needed for several years. So, when he looked at the final recreation money for his district he thought putting it toward track improvements was a good fit.
"When I looked at the dollars that I left in my parks budget I thought, 'wow, this would be extremely awesome to be able to support what they're doing at UNLV," he said.
Lawrence said the improvements are more than just new bleachers. He said they're about making the facilities a place where large track events can be held.
"To me, this opens up doors to allow Coach Wade and her team to welcome teams here, to be able to do some enhancements here, to be able to host really good, viable track and field meets at their facility," he said.
Right now, the people who come to see meets at the facility have to sit on the ground or on lawn chairs.
Yvonne Wade, who coaches UNLV's women's track and field team, agreed. She said better facilities means the school can host larger events, which allows for a better showcase for local student-athletes.
"The track project has been a piecemeal project. Little by little growing it to where we need it to be, but our goal is to host some major events, high school championships, and maybe a regional or national championship one day," she said.
Currently, the school doesn't charge people to watch track meets, but Wade said other venues around the country do charge admission fees.
"Other events and venues across the country have been able to profit off it and bring in travelers for hotels and restaurants and transportation. It's been a great impact to the city. That's the goal for the future for sure," she said.
Weekly said there are dozens of other good causes that $1 million could help with, especially right now, but he believes, given the restrictions on where and how the money can be spent, the track project is one that will be for the community's greater good.
"We believe that this would not only be good for UNLV athletes but for surrounding residents who use that track regularly to exercise and recreate and then for our neighborhood track teams who are helping to get kids out the neighborhoods and get them into schools and help them earn scholarships," he said.

Tata Technologies to ramp up hiring in all major global markets
Tech ObserverNewsEnterprise ITTata Technologies to ramp up hiring in all major global markets

Tata Technologies, the global engineering and product development digital services arm of Tata group, has announced to hire at least 1,000 more people in FY2023.

Eyeing further expansions following a drastic dip in the number of Covid-19 cases across the country, Tata Technologies, the global engineering and product development digital services arm of Tata group, has announced to hire at least 1,000 more people in FY2023 than its planned recruitment of over 3,000 innovators over a 12-month period to fulfil the requirements of customers as its business growth accelerates.
Earlier in January, the company had announced plans to hire over 3,000 innovators over a 12-month period under its expanded talent acquisition programme. The company also looks to ramp up its workforce in all major markets globally and India, including Maharashtra, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu, among other parts of the country.
"That speaks to the fact that increasingly, we are not opportunities constrained. We are very much supply-side constrained and so the investments that we are making are biased towards building the type of capacity and capability that will enable us to fulfil the requirements of our customers," Tata Technologies Managing Director and CEO Warren Harris said.
According to Harris, in the third quarter of the current fiscal, the company recruited over 1,500 people. "So the commitment to 3,000 is somewhat understated…we will hire a significant number above the 3,000 in fiscal 2023."
While commenting on the hiring trend in the sector, Harris said, "In terms of above the 3,000, we are putting together the business plan for next year but I would expect us to exceed the 3,000 by at least 1,000 people."
Tata Technologies has been growing rapidly on the back of the move to autonomous, connected, electrification and shared (ACES) mobility and accelerated investment in digital as manufacturing companies adapt to meet new and evolving customer needs.
In the third quarter ended December 31, 2021, the company had posted its best-ever quarterly performance with operating revenue of Rs 1,034.1 crore and profit before tax of Rs 201.2 crore.
Harris said that across the manufacturing sector, with the investments made in the move towards electrification, connected areas and autonomous driving, the industry is starting to see an inflexion point.
"Those things now represent mainstream investments and that has been a huge catalyst for growth for organisations like ourselves that have demonstrated capability in that area," he said.
While the growth over the past 12 months has been in the entire mobility sector, Harris said that in the third quarter, the aerospace industry has bounced back and the company won significant businesses in both aerostructures and in manufacturing engineering and tooling.
"It signals that the industry is now prepared to make the same investments that we've seen in the other sectors that we support," he said.
Tata Technologies is also empanelled by Airbus in their engineering, manufacturing engineering and services strategic supplier programme. "That's a programme that is limited only to 17 companies around the world and they compete for over $2 billion of annualised spend. So that, for us, is a big milestone for our company," Harris said.

Whole-Home Remodeling
I am impressed with Mike and his crew as humans and as professionals. I literally cannot see the patches they did in the sheet rock. They showed attention to detail, showed up on time, and worked quickly and quietly. They cleaned up after themselves. My husband, who is an engineer, was equally satisfied.
Christi RG.
Mike is amazing... I don't think there is any project he can't master. I have had him hang lights and fans, install a granite countertop, sinks and faucets, build shelving, and so much more. He is professional, on time, and affordable.

We hired this company to convert a dark, smelly 350 sq foot motorcycle repair shed with extension cord wiring into a classroom for adult and children's religious education classes that easily holds 45 chairs at a house church. The church campus is very happy with the renovations. The classroom is now bright, welcoming and without bad smells. Pictures are available. You're welcome to come by and see it by appointment. This project included adding new electrical wiring, new shingles and replacing bad plywood decking, creating a new back entrance doorway where none existed, changing the solid front doors to French doors with windows and interior blinds, & adding a double-paned window, where there had been a small single pane window. The walls and ceiling were drywalled and insulated after removing a loft and workbenches. They put in a window air conditioner/heating unit that works great in the Houston weather. They added a new wheelchair ramp at the front door and new steps at the backdoor.

Are they really worth their hefty price tag?
Birkin bags—those high-end totes from designer Hermès—have proved to be a stellar investment as well as a status symbol. From 1980 through 2015, the bags increased in value by an average of 14% annually, according to Baghunter.com, an online platform for buying and selling luxury handbags. You'll have to ante up to speculate in this market. Recently, an Electric Bleu crocodile Birkin bag carried a $94,500 price tag on Baghunter.
--Standard & Poor's 500-stock index. The broad market barometer returned 11% a year on average over the same period.
--Gold (price per ounce). The volatile metal returned an average 2%.
--Rare collectible cars. The Top Index, compiled by the Historic Automobile Group International, includes the 1950s-era Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Coupe and the mid 2000s Porsche Carrera GT. The index kept pace with Birkins, increasing by an average of 14% annually.
Annual inflation over the period was just over 3%.
