Double è un termine calcistico inglese (in italiano doppietta, in spagnolo doblete) che indica la vittoria di due competizioni ufficiali da parte di una squadra nell'arco di una singola stagione sportiva. Un classico esempio di double è costituito dalla vittoria del campionato e della coppa federale del proprio paese.

Il termine double, soprattutto in Inghilterra, indica anche una vittoria ottenuta contro una squadra avversaria sia nella partita di andata sia in quella di ritorno di un campionato.

Il club inglese del Preston North End fu il primo nella storia del calcio a realizzare un double (stagione 1888-1889).

Double nazionale classico
Il double nazionale (in inglese domestic double) indica, secondo la definizione originaria, la vittoria del campionato e della coppa federale in una singola stagione sportiva.

Al 2015 sono stati realizzati più di 1200 double da oltre 500 squadre diverse. Di seguito sono riportate le squadre che hanno raggiunto questo traguardo almeno 10 volte:

Double intercontinentale
La squadra che vince la Coppa del mondo per club (Coppa Intercontinentale fino al 2004), a meno che non sia del paese ospitante, ha già vinto il torneo di coppa del proprio continente, per cui il double è implicito. Un double particolare è invece quello che vede la vittoria dei due tornei nella stessa stagione, quindi prima la coppa intercontinentale e successivamente la coppa continentale.

Defending double
Con il termine Defending double si intende la difesa, con successo, nella stagione successiva della coppia di titoli vinti nella stagione precedente.

Defending double nazionale
Analogamente al double nazionale, consiste nella vittoria per due o più anni consecutivi del proprio campionato e della principale coppa nazionale.

Al 2015 solo dieci squadre possono vantare almeno cinque double nazionali consecutivi.

Il record di double consecutivi realizzati appartiene al Lincoln (dal 2004 al 2011).

Defending double continentale
Consiste nella vittoria per due anni consecutivi del proprio campionato e del principale torneo di coppa continentale.

Defending double intercontinentale
Consiste nella vittoria per due anni consecutivi del principale torneo di coppa continentale e della Coppa del mondo per club (Coppa Intercontinentale fino al 2004).

Double di nazionali
Il double per le squadre nazionali riguarda la vincita consecutiva del proprio torneo continentale e del Campionato mondiale. Solo cinque nazioni sono riuscite a centrare questo tipo di double:
 : Europeo del 1972 e Mondiale del 1974.
 : Mondiale del 1998 ed Europeo del 2000.
 : Mondiale del 2002 e Copa América del 2004.
 : Europeo del 2008 e Mondiale del 2010 (in seguito anche l'Europeo del 2012, conseguendo così uno storico Triplete di nazionali).
 : Copa América del 2021 e Mondiale del 2022.

Double di nazioni
Si verifica quando due squadre di una nazione si aggiudicano due tornei continentali in una singola stagione sportiva.

Europa (UEFA)

L'Italia e la Spagna sono le nazioni che hanno realizzato il maggior numero di double di questo tipo (5), mentre la Spagna è l'unica ad aver centrato tale traguardo per tre anni consecutivi. Sempre l'Italia è l'unica ad aver realizzato il treble di nazioni (nel 1990 con Milan, Sampdoria e Juventus); tale traguardo è rimasto ineguagliabile fino al 2021, in quanto le principali competizioni per club dell'UEFA sono rimaste soltanto due dopo l'abolizione della Coppa delle Coppe nel 1999. Dal 2021-2022 è partita la nuova terza competizione confederale, la Conference League, rendendo di nuovo possibile questo tipo di treble.

Da segnalare, inoltre, che nel periodo di esistenza della Coppa delle Fiere (1955-1971), antenata non ufficiale della Coppa UEFA/Europa League, questo tipo di double è stato realizzato in 8 occasioni: 4 volte da squadre spagnole (1958, 1960, 1962 e 1966), 3 da squadre inglesi (1968, 1970 e 1971) e 1 da squadre italiane (1961). In questo caso, il computo complessivo dei double continentali diventa: 9 volte a opera di squadre spagnole (1958, 1960, 1962, 1966, 2006, 2014, 2015, 2016 e 2018), 6 volte a opera di squadre italiane (1961, 1989, 1990 – parte del treble –, 1993, 1994 e 1999) e di squadre inglesi (1968, 1970, 1971, 1981, 1984, 2019) e 2 volte a opera di squadre tedesche (1975 e 1997). La Spagna, inoltre, è stata l'unica nazione a realizzare questo tipo di double sia nel periodo antecedente la creazione della Coppa delle Coppe (1955-1960), che in quello successivo alla sua abolizione (1999), quando la vittoria delle due competizioni continentali esistenti rappresentava (tra il 1955 e il 1960), e ha rappresentato (tra il 1999 e il 2021), il massimo risultato possibile. Milano è stata la prima città europea a realizzare questo double con le sue squadre (Milan ed Inter) in una stagione, nel 1993-1994, risultato eguagliato da Madrid nella stagione 2017-2018.

Questo il dettaglio dei double continentali realizzati nel periodo di esistenza della Coppa delle Fiere:

As Malaysians, there's no doubt that there's quite a fair bit of controversial news and happenings lately, which can be quite disheartening, to say the least. Fortunately, we also have our fair share of good news every once in a while. Like how homegrown talents Paperplane Pursuit have managed to place top 40 on the Billboard Mainstream charts for their single, Feel Good. Now who said that local talents are all terrible one ah?
The way I see it, there's no way a Malaysian hasn't seen or heard of Paperplane Pursuit's Who's Gonna Stop Me?! as of late. With all the hype going on with Feel Good, the boys couldn't have chosen a better time to release the music video of Who's Gonna Stop Me?!, the first single from their upcoming album, set to release early 2016.
In true Paperplane Pursuit fashion, the trio of boys didn't disappoint when it comes to the musical parts of the track. From catchy guitar rifts, to John's happy-go-lucky vocals, Who's Gonna Stop Me?! is quite the apt song for a morning Sunday drive. Funnily enough, the music video for the song in question starts off with the band driving down a highway in a pink Sedan. I know, I know, pretty moot point but it doesn't hurt to know, right? Then again, you should already know that because what are you doing reading this article without having seen the music video?! Okay fine, if you haven't already seen it, I'll give you time to do it now.
One of the more memorable elements of the track comes from a very familiar tune, which I'm sure we've all heard of at one point in our lives. During the verses, there's a very clear-cut reference to the song Pop Goes the Weasel, in the form of its rhythm. Pretty neat touch to the overall song, if you ask me. Not to mention the special guest appearance of SEA Games gold medalist, Farah Ann, which gave the video that extra bonus touch.
Overall, the video works of local digital media agency, The Spacemen, did Paperplane Pursuit's latest track justice. Watching the music video and listening to the song, you can't help but feel proud for how far the local music industry has come.
If Who's Gonna Stop Me?! has got you hooked onto Paperplane Pursuit, be sure to check out their other songs and follow them on social media.

Improving the Treatment of Diabetic Foot Infections
- by Dr Alison Halliday
Using biopolymer-based sponges to deliver antibiotics directly to wounds could help reduce side effects and prevent the emergence of resistant bacteria.
More people than ever have diabetes - and the number of people experiencing complications because of the condition is also growing. Having high blood sugar levels over a long period can lead to nerve and blood vessel damage, putting people with diabetes at a much greater risk of developing foot problems.
Diabetic foot infections are notoriously difficult to cure and often end in amputation. They are often treated using antibiotics - but due to the low blood flow and damage around the infected site, the local blood supply is reduced, making it difficult for the drugs to get to where they are needed. High doses of antibiotics are usually administered throughout the patient's body for several weeks, increasing the risk of side effects - and the likelihood of bacterial resistance. Even if treatment is initially successful, there is a high risk of relapse.
Local Delivery to the Wound Site
To help tackle this growing medical problem, researchers are looking to develop sophisticated new drug delivery systems that can deliver antibiotics directly to the infected site. Among a variety of potential drug carrier scaffolds, hydrogels and sponges made from natural biopolymers are good candidates for the controlled release of drugs into the skin.
In a new study, scientists evaluate the potential of hydrogel sponges based on chitosan (CHT) and cyclodextrin polymer (PCD) for the local release of ciprofloxacin, one of the antibiotics that is commonly used to treat diabetic foot infections.1
Testing Different Sponge Formulations
The researchers prepared hydrogel formulations with varying CHT:PCD weight ratios, which were then freeze-dried to create microporous sponges. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analyses did not reveal any differences in the microarchitecture between different sponge formulations before and after thermal treatment. The team assessed the swelling rates of the different sponges, finding that all could absorb several times their mass and displayed superabsorbent-like properties.
However, although the thermal treatment reduced the degradation rate and increased swelling of all the sponges, it decreased the uptake of ciprofloxacin. The researchers confirmed this unexpected discovery in antibacterial performance tests, which suggested a connection between the amount of drug absorbed by the sponge and its antimicrobial effects.
For all experiments, the researchers used ultrapure water generated from an ELGA PURELAB® laboratory water purification system, minimizing the risk of adding contaminants that may affect their results.
These results show that chitosan and cyclodextrin polymer sponges offer promise as a local drug delivery system for treating diabetic foot infections. However, more tests are needed to define the best compromise between the beneficial effect of PCD on their mechanical properties and stability versus its unexpected negative effects on drug release properties towards ciprofloxacin.
The next step will be to investigate the behaviour of the new system on other antibiotic drugs that are also used to treat diabetic foot infections, which may not present similar issues.
Why Choose ELGA LabWater?
ELGA's expert engineers, chemists and scientists are at the forefront of technological innovation. We continue to introduce game-changing features to the laboratory water market.

Oslos sporveje (Trikken i Oslo) er et sporvejsnet, der sammen med T-banen og NSB's tog udgør den skinnegående kollektive trafik i Oslo og Bærum. Sporvejene ejes af det kommunalt ejede Sporveien, mens driften varetages af datterselskabet Sporveien Trikken på vegne af trafikselskabet Ruter med sporvogne ejet af Oslo Vognselskap.

Sporvejene består af seks linjer, der betjenes af 72 sporvogne. I 2013 transporterede de 49 mio. passagerer, svarende til 16 % af det samlede passagertal hos Ruter..

Linjer
Pr. 2020 findes der seks forskellige linjer:
11 (Lysegrøn): Majorstuen–Homansbyen–Jernbanetorget-Grünerløkka-Torshov–Storo–Disen–Kjelsås
12 (Lilla): Majorstuen–Frogner–Aker Brygge–Jernbanetorget–Grünerløkka–Torshov–Storo–Disen–Kjelsås
13 (Mørkegrøn): (Bekkestua–)Lilleaker–Skøyen–Nationaltheatret-Bjørvika-Holtet-Ljabru
17 (Rød): Rikshospitalet–Ullevål–Stortorvet–Jernbanetorget-Carl Berners plass–Sinsen–Grefsen
18 (Gul): Rikshospitalet–Ullevål–Stortorvet–Jernbanetorget–Grünerløkka-Torshov–Storo–Grefsen
19 (Orange): (Majorstuen–Briskeby–)Nationaltheateret-Bjørvika-Sinsen-Grefsen

I dagtimerne er der normalt 10 minutters drift på alle linjer mandag-lørdag og 15 minutters drift om søndagen, mens der er 20 minutters drift om aftenen. På strækningen der betjenes af to linjer er køreplanen lagt, så der kommer en sporvogn hvert femte minut. Dette er en del af Ruters koncept med "rullende fortov". På linje 12 er der forstærket drift mellem Majorstuen og Dronningens gate om aftenen og hele søndag. På linje 13 betjenes strækningen mellem Bekkestua og Lilleaker kun af hver anden vogn i dagtimerne mandag-lørdag. På linje 19 betjenes strækningen mellem Majorstuen og Nationaltheatret ligeledes kun af hver anden vogn i dagtimerne mandag-lørdag.

Historie

I 1868 fremlagde ingeniøren Jens P. Vogt planer for en hestesporvej i Oslo, dengang Kristiania, men fik afslag, fordi man anslog, at den ville forhindre den almindelige færdsel i de smalle gader. Marinekaptajn H. Muller fremkom også med planer om sporveje men ville drive dem med dampsporvogne, da gaderne var for stejle til hestesporvogne. Forslagene blev ikke omsat i praksis, men de medførte en diskussion, der fortsatte i de følgende år. Det førte til, at myndighederne gav tilladelse til at bygge en sporvej i 1874, hvorefter Kristiania Sporveisselskab blev grundlagt 2. oktober 1874 med driftsstart 6. oktober 1875. De første linjer, der blev trafikeret af hestesporvogne, gik fra Stortorvet til Homansbyen, Vestbanestasjonen og Gamlebyen, der dengang hed Oslo.

I 1894 etablerede Kristiania Elektriske Sporvei ("Blåtrikken") Skandinaviens første elektriske sporvejslinje, Briskebylinjen, fra Jernbanetorget over Briskeby til Majorstuen, og med sidelinje til Skarpsno. I 1899 begyndte Kristiania Sporveisselskab ("Grøntrikken") at omstille sine linjer til elektrisk drift, og året efter kørte den sidste hestesporvogn i Oslo på Gamlebylinjen. Desuden etablerede kommunen et eget selskab i 1899, Kristiania Kommunale Sporveie, der anlagde elektriske sporveje fra Akersgata til Sagene og Rodeløkka og senere også fra Tollbugata til Vippetangen. De kommunale sporveje blev overtaget af Kristiania Sporveisselskab i 1905. I 1910 indførtes der linjenumre.

I 1924 udløb de to sporvejsselskabers koncessioner, og kommunen benyttede sin indløsningsret til at overtage sporvejene og samle dem i det kommunalt ejede Kristiania Sporveier. Året efter skiftede byen navn til Oslo, og selskabet skiftede tilsvarende navn til Oslo Sporveier. Både før og efter skete der løbende udvidelser af nettet med nye sporveje og forstadsbaner, så det i 1939 nåede sit højdepunkt med åbningen af Sinsenlinjen.

I 1960 vedtog kommunalbestyrelsen en gradvis nedlæggelse af sporvejene i byen og frem til 1968 erstattedes en række strækninger af busser, mens et par forstadsstrækninger i øst omstilledes til T-bane i 1966-1967. Beslutningen om nedlæggelse blev ophævet i 1977, og i de følgende år moderniseredes i stedet med nye sporvogne og indførelse af enmandsbetjening. Efterfølgende er der sket et par udvidelser af sporvejsnettet med Vikalinjen i 1995 og forlængelse af Ullevål hageby-linjen til Rikshospitalet i 1999, mens en rest af Sagene ring modsat blev nedlagt i 1998. Fra 2007 til 2014 blev Lilleakerbanen påvirket af opgraderingen af T-banen Kolsåsbanen med forlængelser og forkortelser, indtil den fik endelig endestation i Bekkestua.

På det organisatoriske plan blev Oslo Sporveier og Stor-Oslo Lokaltrafikk slået sammen til trafikselskabet Ruter i 2008, idet infrastruktur, drift og materiel blev skilt ud i det, der efter nogle navneskift nu hedder hhv. Sporveien, Sporveien Trikken og Oslo Vognselskap.

I 2014/2015 blev der lagt spor i Dronning Eufemias gate til den kommende Bjørviklinja, der dog først blev færdiggjort i 2020. I mellemtiden gik man i 2015 i gang med at samle sporvejssporene i den tilstødende Prinsens gate, så den kan trafikeres i begge retninger i stedet for som hidtil med vestgående sporvogne i Prinsens gate og østgående i den parallelle Tollbugata. Omlægningen er en del af kommunens planer for fordelingen af teafikken i de øst-vestgående gader i Kvadraturen, hvor Prinsens gate kun skal trafikeres af sporvogne, busserne skal køre ad Tollbugata og cyklerne ad Rådhusgata.

Fremtid
På længere sigt kan en række udvidelser komme på tale. I Ruters strategi for 2010-2030 fra 2009 nævntes at følgende udvidelser skulle undersøges:
 3 km fra Sinsen til Tonsenhagen via Aker sykehus, Bjerkebanen og Årvoll.
 0,8 km fra Ljabru til Hauketo.
 0,9 km mellem Thune og Frogner plass for at forbinde Skøyen og Majorstuen uden skift på Solli plass.
 1,1 km langs Ring 2 fra Majorstuen til Ullevål sykehus og videre herfra langs Ring 2 der fortsætter yderligere 5 km til Lodalen via Sagene, Torshov, Tøyen og Kampen.
 3 km fra Lilleaker til Fornebu via Lysaker.
 2 km fra Oslo S til Rådhusplassen via Vippetangen.
 2-4 km fra Nationaltheatret til Bygdøy Allé via Filipstad.

Materiel

Sporvejene råder over 40 sporvogne af typen SL-79 (nr. 101-140) og 32 af typen SL-95 (nr. 141-172), der ejes af Oslo Vognselskap AS.

SL-79 (forkortelse for Sporvogn Led, bestilt i 1979) er de ældre ledvogne. De har kun førerplads i den ene ende og kan derfor ikke benyttes på Ullevål hageby-linjen til Rikshospitalet, da der ikke er nogen vendesløjfe der (den tidligere endestation på John Colletts plass har dog en). Vognene blev leveret i to serier med de første 25, SL-79/I, i 1982 og de sidste 15, SL-79/II, i 1989. De to serier ligner hinanden forholdsvis meget, om end SL-79/II har et lidt anderledes inreriør, ligesom der er nogle mindre tekniske forskelle. Derudover blev SL-79/I bygget med en enkelt bagdør i venstre side, der mangler på SL-79/II. De først 10 vogne blev produceret af Düwag i Düsseldorf, mens Strømmens Værksted (EB Strømmens Verksted fra 1988) stod for resten. Vognene har 71 siddepladser og 92 ståpladser.

SL-95 (forkortelse for Sporvogn Led, bestilt i 1995) er en større og tungere type ledvogn produceret af Ansaldo/Firema (nu AnsaldoBreda) i Italien. Vognene kan ikke benyttes på linjerne til Majorstuen, fordi enkelte kurver i Homansbyen er for snævre, og fordi der nogle steder er for lidt plads mellem sporene. Der er dog planer om at udbedre sporene, så vognene kan benyttes på hele sporvejsnettet. Sporvognene er udstyret med lavt gulv ved alle døre undtagen fordørene. De er desuden bygget til at kunne køre begge veje med førerplads i begge ender, døre på begge sider og sæder der vender mod hinanden. Vognene har 88 siddepladser og 124 ståpladser.

SL-79 er ved at have opnået sin forventede tid i drift, og SL-95 har store tekniske problemer. Der arbejdes derfor med anskaffelse af nye sporvogne, SL-18, der forventes leveret i 2021-2024..

I am one of a group of people assisting an elderly client in post-Katrina New Orleans by rebuilding her house. In January, she got a car loan from a dealer for 18 percent interest over 65 months. This is more than she can take at this point, and I was wondering what we can do to help her. Should we encourage her to refinance her auto loan, and if so, how? Also, could she take out a home equity loan (she owns the house we are repairing) to pay off the principal as there is no penalty if she does so?
You can refinance a car loan by talking to any bank or lending institution.
Without knowing your client's credit status, an 18 percent car loan appears outrageous for anyone with even a moderate credit rating. If she has equity in her home, then she could certainly use that to pay off the loan, although I don't usually recommend tapping a home's equity to buy a depreciating asset like a car. Good luck, and thanks to you and your group for helping this lady.
• When a leased car is repossessed is there an early termination fee?
• How can an elderly woman get rid of an 18 percent car loan rate?
• My son still owes $5,000 on a car he totaled. What can he do?

Sea surface temperatures in the tropical Pacific Ocean now exceed El Niño thresholds. However, atmospheric indicators - such as trade winds, cloudiness, pressure patterns and the Southern Oscillation Index (SOI) - have yet to show consistent or sustained signs of El Niño. This clearly indicates that the tropical ocean and atmosphere are not currently reinforcing each other and remain 'uncoupled'. This coupling is required to not only fully develop and sustain an El Niño, but is what drives widespread global weather and climate impacts.
International climate models predict sea surface temperatures to remain above El Niño levels in the coming months. By February, two of the eight surveyed models dip just below El Niño thresholds.... - Australian Bureau of Meteorology - http://www.bom.gov.au
The Southern Oscillation Index has been trending negative since early this year, an indication of a negative atmospheric response to warmer SSTs, signalling a trend towards El Niño-like conditions. Australian Bureau of Meteorology - http://www.bom.gov.au
Based on the developing El Niño, forecast models lean towards a tendency for drier conditions by late summer, while early to mid-summer is expected to be relatively wet over much of the interior. Coupled with the dry signal towards late summer, there is also a concomitant indication of warmer than usual conditions. The positive temperature anomalies are also indicated for early-to mid-summer.
It is worth noting that, while seasonal forecasts tend to indicate drier conditions towards late summer, this is a weaker signal than what is sometimes associated with El Niño summers, possibly at least in part due to the weakness of the event. The following are the latest seasonal forecasts for Africa, from the IRI, for mid (December - February) and late (January - March) summer respectively.
There are indications that the summer rainfall region may experience above-normal rainfall during early to mid-summer with a very slight indication of possible warmer-than-normal conditions (Forecasts by the IRI - http://iri.columbia.edu/).
Towards late summer, seasonal forecast models suggest somewhat drier-than-normal conditions over much of the interior, with a stronger indication of the development of a warm anomaly, centred towards the northwest of South Africa (Forecasts by the IRI
Expected rainy season progression, associated with decadal variability (issued 22 October 2018)
Since summer 2017/18, in terms of decadal climate forcing, there has been a push towards El Niño conditions. Global Climate Models therefore predict the onset of El Niño conditions during the next few months. The negative forcing experienced during the last few months, giving rise to the development of weak El Niño conditions, will be replaced by a positive influence on the climate system during the next few months.
By late summer, there should be a strong push towards La Niña conditions - this may result in wetter than normal conditions over large parts of the summer rainfall region by late summer. Conditions therefore, during most similar summers as 2018/19, are usually somewhat drier in early to mid-summer, but wetter towards late summer. This is somewhat different to the typical El Niño signal as is forecast by climate models. Given the El Niño-like conditions present currently, it may be safe to assume a tendency towards drier conditions with above-normal temperatures during large parts of the summer. However, based on conditions in similar years in the past, the January-March period may turn out quite favourable.
The early rain experienced over the summer rainfall region since late September should largely be replaced by relatively dry conditions into November. This may likely be interspersed by a short wet period in early November. From late November, there is likely to be a resurgence of relatively wet conditions over the summer rainfall region, possibly lasting into December. Again, by late December/early January, it may once again be drier - basically during the period when the mid-summer drought usually occurs. If this dry period develops, it will most likely not be as severe as during 2017/18. From late January, conditions may very well improve again, and then even more so from early February. Based on the tendency in previous similar years, there is a possibility that large parts of the summer rainfall region could receive above-normal rainfall during February and/or March, while globally the indicators should start signaling the possibility of a La Niña towards 2019/20. Should the wet conditions develop in the north, there is also an enhanced likelihood of tropical systems (such as tropical depressions/storms/cyclones) influencing the region.
Normal to above-normal rainfall is more likely to occur over the eastern parts of the summer rainfall region during early to mid-summer (top, OND - October, November, December), while the west is likely to remain drier than normal. Towards late summer (above, JFM - January, February, March), there is a strong indication that above-normal rainfall may develop over the northeastern parts of the country, spilling also into the central parts. The western parts will still be more likely to receive below-normal rainfall.
Seasonal outlook: Summary
Based on the current state of El Niño, it is safe to assume that there will be a tendency towards drier and warmer conditions at least in part during the summer. However, both Global Coupled Models and forecasts based on the decadal variability in the climate system suggest a very weak negative influence. The only difference here is that the predictions based on decadal variability suggest increasing wetness towards the end of the summer, with a drier start, while Global Climate Models suggest wetter conditions earlier, drying somewhat towards late summer.
Rainfall (% of long-term mean): October 2018
Parts of the Eastern Highveld, the northern coastal belt of KZN and southeastern Northern Cape received above-normal rainfall during October. The rest of the country was mostly drier than normal.
Vegetation activity is above normal over the northern to eastern parts of the eastern maize-production areas due to a normal start to the rainy season over much of the area. However, the northern parts of the Free State and southwestern parts of Mpumalanga experience drought stress and need rain soon. The projected rainfall from the weekend onwards may favour these areas. Over the winter rainfall region, grain-production areas are also still experiencing above-normal vegetation activity following a normal to above-normal rainy season. There are still indications of drought stress over the northern parts of the West Coast, extending into the Great and Little Karoo and the western parts of the garden Route. A slow start to the rainy season is noted over much of Limpopo, where vegetation activity is also below normal. Another area where some drought stress is noticeable is the eastern parts of the Northern Cape and northwestern Free State extending into much of central North West.
Overview of expected conditions over South Africa during the next few days
Upper-air troughs and perturbations moving across the interior, together with the Atlantic Ocean Anticyclone ridging strongly around the country on two occasions, will result in a much more favourable situation over the summer rainfall region for rain compared to the last few weeks.
The first upper-air trough will move across the interior on Tuesday (20th), and out eastwards by Wednesday (21st). At the surface, an influx of cool, dry air will result in clearance from the west, after initial rainfall over the winter rainfall region. The influx of cooler air will be felt over the southern parts with some showers and windy, cold conditions on Tuesday (20th) and Wednesday (21st). The invading dry air may also result in a tendency for severe storm development where scattered thundershowers occur over the summer rainfall region.
It will be dry over most parts on Wednesday and possibly Thursday (22nd), but upper-air perturbations moving into the central to northern parts and a renewed influx of moisture as an anticyclonic circulation pattern strengthens to the east of the country will result in a renewed development of thundershowers over the northeastern to central parts from Friday. Interaction between moisture and dry air, together with upper-air dynamics, may result in some thundershowers becoming severe.
During early next week, an approaching upper-air trough and renewed ridging of the Atlantic Ocean Anticyclone, may result in more significant and widespread rainfall over the interior - given the long lead time, this outlook is still uncertain.
Conditions in main agricultural production regions (20 - 26 November)
Maize production region: Scattered thundershowers will occur over the region on Tuesday (20th). Some of these may become severe. It will be dry on Wednesday over most parts. From Thursday, scattered thundershowers will occur, continuing through the weekend. There may be an improved distribution of thundershowers over the western parts compared to earlier in the period. Temperatures will on average be in the normal ranges.
Cape Wine Lands and Ruens: Following some showers initially (Tuesday 20th), it will become fine and mild for the most part. It will be warm over the West Coast, Swartland and Karoo from Thursday (22nd) to Saturday (24th). Winds along the southwestern coastal areas will be strong southeasterly most of the time.
According to current model projections (GFS and CCAM atmospheric models) of weather conditions during the coming week, the following may be deduced:
Thundershowers over the central to northeastern parts may become severe on Tuesday (20th).
A sharp drop in temperatures on Tuesday (20th) with strong winds and rain during the night may affect small stock negatively over the southern to southeastern interior (up to the southern escarpment over the Western Cape and Eastern Cape).
Thundershowers over the central to northeastern parts during the weekend and early next week may again become severe with strong winds and hail possible.
Strong southwesterly winds are possible along the southeastern coastal areas (mostly Eastern Cape) by Tuesday (20th).
It will be very hot over the Lowveld and most of the Limpopo River Valley on Tuesday (20th) and Wednesday (21st).
Strong southeasterlies are possible over the southwestern coastal areas on most days. Where vegetation is dry, this may be conducive to the development and spread of wild fires.
Hot conditions will develop over the Northern Cape from Friday (23rd) to Sunday (25th).
There is a possibility of significant rainfall over the eastern to southeastern parts by Tuesday (27th). Given the long lead time, this forecast is still very uncertain.

100,000+ people from around the world have so far urged Bulgarian Prime Minister to protect Pirin World Heritage Site
This National Park is under threat of deforestation and infrastructure construction
Sofia – The first 100,000 signatures of people from around the world who share their concern for the future of Pirin National Park have been symbolically delivered to the office of the Prime Minister of Bulgaria Boyko Borissov by WWF and the other NGOs, part of the For the Nature coalition. Pirin National Park in Bulgaria, which shelters possibly the oldest tree in the Balkan peninsula, could be added to UNESCO's List of World Heritage in Danger. WWF has been urging for immediate action to be taken against multiple threats to the mountain and launched an international petition in November 2016.
A new draft management plan of Pirin National Park has been designed recently that allows construction on an area that is 12.5-times larger than currently and could lead to commercial logging affecting nearly 60 per cent of the park. The plan would jeopardize the pristine nature and ecosystem values of the northern park territories as well as its status as a UNESCO site. Government has to take actions.
Pirin has an exceptional beauty of mountain scenery, glacial lakes, continuing evolution of flora, and is an example of healthy, functioning Balkan uplands ecosystems. The natural coniferous forests shelter the 1,300 year-old endemic Bosnian Pine tree called Baykusheva mura – believed to be the oldest on the Balkan peninsula. Pirin is home to brown bears, grey wolves, chamoix and 159 bird species, including the Eurasian three-toed woodpecker, the rarest woodpecker in Europe.
"We cannot allow any further destruction to put Pirin at risk with the communities depending on it. We thank the 100,000+ people who have urged the Bulgarian government to take immediate actions to save the Pirin World Heritage and EU Natura 2000 site by halting any proposed construction and commercial logging and ensuring the future of its outstanding universal value. We have few months to halt the approval of the proposed management plan. After that, construction and deforestation in Pirin will be very difficult to stop. That's why the campaign continues", said Vesselina Kavrakova, WWF-Bulgaria Country Head.
In 2010, UNESCO excluded the existing ski areas above the towns of Bansko and Dobrinishte from the World Heritage site. For the construction of these facilities, more than 160 ha of forests, including old-growth, were cleared, with trees up to 300-years old.
"National laws, European nature directives and international treaties should ensure that Pirin is protected. Unfortunately, the proposed management plan envisages the construction of two new ski zones in Pirin and the expansion of an existing one. This would be a breach of World Heritage regulations to which the Bulgarian government has agreed", Kavrakova added.
About Pirin National Park and the new management plan
Located in south-west Bulgaria and covering a territory of ca. 40,000 ha, Pirin is one of the three national parks in Bulgaria that all together cover just 1.5% of the country's territory. It overlaps also with two EU Natura 2000 sites, and is one of the two Bulgarian Natural Heritage Sites on UNESCO's World Heritage list.
The dominant part of the park is high mountain territory over 2,000 m above sea level. The diverse limestone mountain landscapes include over 70 glacial lakes, and a range of glacial landforms, with many waterfalls, rocky screes and caves. The high mountain peaks and crags contrast with meadows, rivers, waterfalls and provide the opportunity to experience the aesthetics of a Balkan mountain landscape. The National Park includes a range of endemic and relict species that are representative of the Balkan Pleistocene flora.
The economical value of the park has been decreasing, which underlines the current path to be unsustainable. Bansko tourism operators registered a loss of 5.7 mln BGN (2.85 mln EUR) in 2013. In comparison, in 2008, they made a profit of 2.7 mln BGN (1.35 mln EUR). According to the Job Agency, the unemployment rate went up by 5.4% between 2008 and 2013. (Data is from the Development Models of the Mountain Regions in Bulgaria report from 2015: http://blog.prozrachniplanini.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Mountain_development_models_FINAL_20151208.pdf)
The procedure to approve the new draft management for Pirin National Park goes on. Currently Supreme Administrative Court is expected to rule out whether the plan should have or not an Environmental Impact Assessment after a controversial decision by previous Minister of the Environment Irina Kostova. Current Minister of the Environment Neno Dimov could require any time amendments to the plan that could save the outstanding value of Pirin. The final decision on the approval of the management plan lies with the Government led by Prime Minister Boyko Borissov.
The first batch of 100K letters to save Pirin National Park was delivered to Bulgarian Prime Minister.

When you go online to a new website and notice something is missing, doesn't it make you mad? By now you know how we feel about quality web design Southampton! There is no excuse for a lack of responsive web design. Or if the corner of a webpage suddenly disappears when you scroll down, do you ever wonder why? Don't you hate it when you can't find the button you need to click on and spend ages searching, only to realise half of the website has been cut off because you are viewing the site on a mobile phone?
It is thought that more than 90% of shoppers use mobile devices and nearly 75% use them whilst in store. Did you know that 80% of the time spent on mobile phones is just using apps? It's not just mobile phones either, 72% of tablet owners purchase online.
So the influence mobile devices have in modern business is not to be underestimated. Look at how vital social media is for reaching online customers. Therefore, your business needs to embrace the use of mobile devices for online shopping. The best way to do that? Is simply just to have responsive web design in your business website.
Responsive Web Design (RWD) is the laying-out and coding in websites that allow them to be viewable in multiple formats, most obviously mobile devices. It makes the website format adaptable and makes resizing, panning, and scrolling adjustable in relation to the device being viewed. At the very least, using fluid grid design layouts are a must.
In the grand scheme of website budgets, it really won't cost that much more. Ideally, every web designer should be making sure your business is anticipating all possible customer-facing experiences, thorough testing should apply in all formats. Responsive web design is in fact considered best practice in the web design industry.
As we've said above, when people use websites and they can't access vital parts it's because the standard grid layout doesn't match the format. It will make a negative impact on the user's shopping experience. As we know from previous blogs, bad user experiences mean fewer sales. Google also consider user experiences in its SEO ranking. However, even based solely on customer reviews your website is going to face strong criticism. If you want decent visual content then you might need to learn a bit about Scalable Vector Graphics.
That's all you really need to know. Let's not pretend we don't know the momentous influence Google has on website and SEO content. The more detailed explanation is that mobile sites have one URL and HTML. This makes it easier for Google to analyse during SEO searches. Multi-platform usability experience is favourable for SEO.
So with web content on mobile formats getting shared more, it naturally creates a wider impression range. With all that data getting shared via mobile devices then Google will naturally favour responsive web design. Therefore it is crucial to test your web design on as many different formats and devices as possible.
The internet is clearly evolving towards mobile device sharing so with the rise of apps and phone tablet use, software is growing to manage multiple social media formats from mobiles devices. Responsive web design will be a huge part of making that happen. If you look at programs like Hootsuite then you know how far along we are.

Commonwealth Games 2010 Delhi, India
Jan 3, 2010 | Sports & Fitness | 0 |
It will also be the first time the Commonwealth Games will be held in India and the second time the event has been held in Asia (after 1998). Delhi won the right to host the 2010 Games by defeating the Canadian city of Hamilton by 46 votes to 22 at the CGF General Assembly held in Montego Bay in November 2003.
The Commonwealth is primarily an organization in which countries with diverse economic backgrounds have an opportunity for close and equal interaction. The primary activities of the Commonwealth are designed to create an atmosphere of economic co-operation between member nations, as well as the promotion of democracy, human rights, and good governance in those nations.
Commonwealth Games held every four years, it involves the elite athletes of the Commonwealth of Nations. Attendance at the Commonwealth Games is typically around 5,000 athletes. Information that will make you a part of the international event the whole world is waiting for. The Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF) is the organization that is responsible for the direction and control of the Commonwealth Games. This will be the biggest multi-sport event conducted in the India.
In addition to the Commonwealth Games, the city of Pune, India hosted the 3rd Commonwealth Youth Games between October 12 and 18, 2008. The Youth Games offered nine sports: athletics, badminton, boxing, shooting, swimming, table tennis, tennis, weightlifting and wrestling.
As you might have guessed by now, the various sports activities like Aquatics, Athletics, Badminton, Bowls, Boxing, Cycling, EAD Events, Gymnastics, Hockey, Netball, Rugby 7s, Shooting, Squash, Table Tennis and Weightlifting are all meant to bring the countries together to strengthen the relationships.
There are currently 54 members of the Commonwealth of Nations, and 71 teams participate in the Games. The four constituent countries of the United Kingdom - England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland - send separate teams to the Commonwealth Games (unlike at the Olympic Games, where the United Kingdom sends a single team), and individual teams are also sent from the British Crown dependencies - Guernsey, Jersey and the Isle of Man - and many of the British overseas territories. The Australian external territory of Norfolk Island also sends its own team, as do the Cook Islands and Niue, two states in free association with New Zealand.
Only six teams have attended every Commonwealth Games: Australia, Canada, England, New Zealand, Scotland and Wales. Australia has been the highest scoring team for ten games, England for seven and Canada for one.
This year Commonwealth Games 2010 is in Delhi, India. In 2014 the Games will be held in Glasgow, Scotland.

These two cigars—yes, there are two AVO LEs this year—are the final two cigars in the AVO Improvisation Series, which is the successor to the AVO Limited Edition Series. This year's releases are called The Closing Improvisation, a nod to the brand's founder, the late pianist and composer Avo Uvezian.
Both cigars measure 5 1/2 x 55, though the blends are entirely different. The AVO Improvisation LE22 Black uses an Ecuadorian wrapper over a Mexican binder and fillers from the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua. The AVO Improvisation LE22 White uses an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper over a Dominican binder and fillers from the Dominican Republic.

TORONTO – New wave icon Carole Pope hopes a film about her band Rough Trade will expose today's youth to Canada's raucous, politically charged music scene of the early 1980s.
Pope will kick off an Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign for the new film project, called "Rough Trade," with a Saturday performance also featuring Peaches at Wrongbar in Toronto. Based on Pope's autobiography, the film will be produced by Jan Nathanson and Andrew Boutilier.
Pope, now 63, said she feels the Canadian scene is often forgotten in nostalgia about punk and new wave. She pointed to "amazing" bands like The 'B' Girls, The Diodes, The Viletones and The Dishes, which all exploded out of Toronto in the 1970s.
Rough Trade split up in the late 1980s and Pope now performs as a solo artist. Her new EP is called "Music For Lesbians," a tongue-in-cheek title poking fun at the self-seriousness of some lesbian musicians. Two singles — "Lesbians in the Forest," featuring Peaches, and "Francis Bacon" — are already on iTunes.
Pope said writing her 2001 autobiography "Anti Diva," on which the film will be based, was cathartic. Among other things, the book explores her brother's death as a result of AIDS and her intense relationship with legendary British singer Dusty Springfield, who died in 1999.
Her performance in Toronto on Saturday coincides with the city's WorldPride festivities. Asked why she thinks Pride is still important in 2014, Pope pointed to the global persecution of LGBT people.
