A major 7.4-magnitude earthquake hit Taiwan on Wednesday morning, April 3, killing at least seven people and leaving over 700 individuals injured.
The quake, Taiwan's strongest one in 25 years, hit just before 8 a.m. local time, with the United States Geological Survey putting the epicenter 18 kilometers (11 miles) south of Taiwan's Hualien City, at a depth of 34.8 km.
Dozens of buildings were damaged, prompting tsunami warnings that extended to Japan and the Philippines before being lifted.
Tsunamis are vast and potentially destructive series of waves that can move at hundreds of kilometers per hour.
The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS), in an advisory at 10:33 a.m., said there were no significant sea level disturbances that have been recorded since 7:58 a.m. based on available data of its sea level monitoring stations facing the epicentral area.
“With this, any effects due to the tsunami warning have largely passed and therefore DOST-PHIVOLCS has now cancelled all Tsunami Warnings issued for this event,” it said. “This will be the final tsunami information issued for this event.”
PHIVOLCS initially recommended evacuating residents from the Batanes Group of Islands, Cagayan, Ilocos Norte, and Isabela.
Japan's Meteorological Agency, meanwhile, previously issued a warning for tsunami waves as high as three meters (10 feet) for remote Japanese islands in the region, including Miyakojima island.
In Taiwan, authorities shared a tsunami alert via text message "to remind people in coastal areas to be vigilant and take strict precautions and pay attention to the dangers caused by sudden surges in waves."
Officials said the quake and series of strong aftershocks were the strongest to shake Taiwan in decades, warning of more tremors in the days ahead.
In the capital, the metro briefly stopped running but resumed within an hour, while residents received warnings from their local borough chiefs to check for gas leaks.
Across the Taiwan Strait, social media users in China's eastern province of Fujian, which borders the southern province of Guangdong, and elsewhere said they also felt strong tremors.
China, which sees self-ruled Taiwan as a renegade province, was "paying close attention" to the quake and "willing to provide disaster relief assistance,” state news agency Xinhua said.
The vast majority of quakes around the area are mild, although the damage they cause varies according to the depth of the epicenter below the Earth's surface and its location.
Taiwan's last strongest earthquake was in September 1999.
Al Jazeera reported that the 7.6-magnitude earthquake killed around 2,400 people. It injured 100,000 and destroyed thousands of buildings
Taiwan is regularly hit by earthquakes as the island lies near the junction of two tectonic plates. (with reports from AFP)

The Legislature spent $102 million during the six-month period that ended in March, according to data now posted on SeeThroughNY, a website sponsored by the fiscal conservative Empire Center for New York State Policy. With the latest spending reports from the Senate and Assembly, SeeThroughNY now has this data going back to 2006.
The highest spending members of the Senate and Assembly were Sen. Kenneth LaValle, R-Suffolk County, at $510,598 and Assemblyman Richard Gottfried, D-Manhattan, at $488,359.
Visitors to the website can sort expenditures by reporting period, expenditure type and member name. They can also break out spending for individual units of the Legislature’s central staff.
The site also includes information about payrolls for all state employees, the judiciary, public authorities, counties, towns, cities, villages, school districts, special districts and New York City. It has information about state and local pensions, labor and vendor contracts, and legislative “pork-barrel” spending.

Looking good and feeling good go hand in hand. If you have a healthy lifestyle, your diet and nutrition are set, and you’re working out, you’re going to feel good. -Jason Staham
There are many different categories and type of vegetables with each of them having its own benefits to the body. There are certain veggies that bring many benefits at once. One good thing about veggies is that you never have to worry about eating too much of it. Eating more of it brings in even more benefits in both the long and short term.
It is important to know the various vegetables and how it can help your body. This is also important when you are sick because you will know the type of vegetable you need to eat for quick recovery. It is important to seek the advice of the doctor to give you an advice on what vegetable you are to eat and how it should be prepared.
There are many studies that have been done and all point to the many benefits of veggies. Most of the benefits a person gets from veggies is the nutrients found in them. There are studies that have shown that vegetables can help in reducing the risk of getting a number of diseases like cancer.
Another important benefit of vegetables is its role in auditory health. Vegetables have antioxidants that help reduce age-related deafness and hearing loss as a result of loud noise. They help in protecting delicate hairs in the inner hair that are key in hearing as claimed by audiologists and researchers.
Vegetables have loads of vitamins and minerals that contribute to the growth and the maintenance of the body. Vegetables are high in potassium, which help with the blood pressure. One important thing that makes the vegetables help in preventing and fighting diseases is the antioxidants. This is a group of nutrients that help in fighting and preventing diseases like cancer, heart diseases, Parkinson disease, heart attack, atherosclerosis and Alzheimer’s.
Another benefit of vegetables is that it has fiber. The nutrient is only found in plants, making vegetables the only source of fiber. Fiber helps in scouring bad cholesterol out of the arteries thus lowering the risk of heart disease. Fiber also helps in making Fiber also help in making the digestive system run smoothly.

Venezuela election: 'There's no opposition here, just God'
For Nicolasito is the president's son and under Nicolás Maduro, Venezuela's once oil-rich economy has crumbled. Every day, millions of people in Venezuela struggle to access enough food, annual inflation is above 5,000% and about five million people have fled the country in search of jobs and more stability. Tens of thousands of people came out onto the streets to support him - he had approval ratings of more than 60%. But in the time since, Juan Guaidó's popularity has plummeted to around 25%. President Maduro is still in Miraflores Palace, and the country is going nowhere. Mr Guaidó insists that the international community continues to support him. In the new year, Mr Guaidó runs the risk of being jailed by the Maduro administration if he continues to lead a parallel government.

Why are you interested in biomanufacturing?
I am interested in developing biomanufacturing routes that provide environmental (and economic) sustainablility, whether it is for manufacturing high value chemicals or bulk commodities. I am of the opinion that the processes we develop for meeting our needs should leave little or no footprint on our environment that is damaging. Today, a lot of our day-to-day needs are met primarily through our reliance on fossil fuels and petrochemical-based feedstock and processes. Whilst many of these chemical processes are versatile and have spurred the global economy, some of these have come at the expense of increasing damage to our environment. Meeting our needs through biomanufacturing has the potential to offer us solutions that are environmentally sustainable. For example, photoautotrophism exists in nature, where the abundantly available solar energy can be used to fix atmospheric carbon dioxide and convert it to organic carbon of value. However, the natural system is not geared to be directly employed as a biomanufacturing route. If we can make this a viable manufacturing route, it has the potential to offer an environmentally sustainable solution that is economic too, as the processes would be based on abundantly available non-depleting feedstock.
A challenge in biomanufacturing that interests me is the development of strategies to monitor bioprocesses non-invasively. There is usually a trade-off between speed/ease of data acquisition and data resolution with the different modalities available for monitoring bioprocesses. I am interested in developing analytical strategies that enable us to strike a balance between the two to monitor processes effectively. There is inherent complexity associated with the behaviour of biological cells. Characterising the complexity at different levels would enable us to employ the organisms effectively in a biomanufacturing environment. In this regard, I am interested in understanding how small molecular weight components (metabolites) mediate and control cellular processes. In order to gain a more holistic understanding of the underlying processes, this information needs to be integrated at the systems level and we employ systems biology based approaches. Our interest is in developing systems level characterisation that can lead to synthetic biology approaches of value. We have expertise to work with a range of mass spectrometry-based approaches, but would also be interested in developing other modalities in collaboration, to derive systems level data. This analytical expertise and interest is generic to all biomanufacturing routes.

Adapt to Wi-Fi or Die?
Page 1 of 1
The Baby Bells are going to miss out on a major growth opportunity if they cannot find a way to incorporate Wi-Fi into their service offerings.
That's the latest word from Cambridge-based Pyramid Research, whose new report "Beyond DSL" spells out the case for existing fixed-line operators to make a serious investment now in 802.11 technologies.
With demand growing for high-capacity Internet among residential users, there will be as many as 60 million potential wireless LAN users in the United States by 2007. "These subscribers are going to be served in one way or another, so at this point the operators need to ask themselves what the best way is to reach these people," said Daniel Torras, director of the Americas Group at Pyramid.
Torras and lead author Jonathan Tirone set out to crunch the numbers, and their findings may come as a surprise.
One might assume that the most cost-effective way for a fixed-line operator to deliver high-speed Internet would be through DSL or cable, since the hardware infrastructure needed to deliver service in this manner already exist. In fact, said Torras, "the return on investment for wireless LAN was much higher."
The researchers took into account the costs of marketing and installation, as well as the modem subsidy, and determined that it would cost an operator about $1000 to acquire a DSL subscriber. Comparable measures show that it would cost even more to secure a cable subscriber (about $1200) whereas a wireless LAN customer would cost about $800 to acquire.
The cost analysis is particularly relevant in the countryside. "The economics of 802 networks are ideal for rural areas in emerging markets," the authors note. "Systems can be deployed significantly below the cost of traditional network architectures, can operate over license-exempt frequencies, and pack the bandwidth to offer multimedia services."
In spite of these arguments, the idea of residential Wi-Fi is, at this point, barely a blip on the radar of most service providers.
To date, the 802.11 spotlight has shone brightest on the enterprise side, with analysts and media looking most closely at Wi-Fi in offices and on corporate campuses. This in turn may have distracted fixed-line operators from the residential potential for Wi-Fi. While the researchers acknowledge this phenomenon, they warn the Baby Bells and others not to overlook what may be a significant opportunity. "While enterprise adoption may drive the early growth of 802.11 networks, fixed-line operators face a much larger market opportunity in homes and public hot spots," the authors write. "Whereas many enterprises will ultimately own, operate, and manage their wireless LANs, the residential market is primed to generate ongoing cash flows generated through 802.11 services."
Maybe so, but other analysts say it is unlikely that the fixed-line operators will heed the call any time soon.
"I have not heard anything from the telecom guys about wanting to get into this space," said John Chang, senior analyst with Allied Business Intelligence in Oyster Bay, NY.
"Is the business case right? Yes. Are they going to do it? No," said Chang, who noted that the fixed line operators have traditionally been reluctant to adapt their business models in recognition of new communications trends. "Telecom carriers are slow to move to new technologies. They will do this, but they are not going to be the ones in the forefront."
The Pyramid researchers looked not just at the United States, but also at developing nations in Latin America, where they found that 802.11 presents an especially strong mechanism through which fixed-line operators might be able to gain market share.
In the developing world, Wi-Fi offers "a cost-efficient means to provide connectivity to rural areas that would never be reached through other solutions," said Torras. While U.S. consumers might expect to access Wi-Fi at home, Latin American markets would more likely consume bandwidth through a communal kiosk that would deliver Internet, e-mail and telephony capabilities. "You could have a single access point serving a whole village or small city."
The state of the Latin American market will however depend to a large extent on the stability of the Latin American economy, which at present is in dire straits. The authors acknowledge that declining foreign investment and deteriorating service capabilities may keep the telecom sector in check there, at least for the near future.
In the United States, meanwhile, consumers are ever ready to chew up bandwidth, and that creates a significant Wi-Fi opportunity for fixed line operators, or FLOs.
"In the long term, 802.11 networks can have a positive impact on FLOs' balance sheets," the authors write. Wireless LANs "have the ability to drive bandwidth consumption to significantly higher levels. In an industry that has as an underlying problem the commoditization of bandwidth, wireless LANs will spell relief to those FLOs first to craft strategies integrating them into their networks."

This is a rather short demo/techno tune that is composed mainly from drum tracks and beeps. It would be entirely boring, if it wasnt for the small piece of vocals included... they really lift of the tune. Fine as a demo tune i suppose, but to listen to as music doesn't give too much. Luckily, this song is only 2:45, so it contains enough variations to survive. Listening to that same drumbeat for much longer would have driven anyone crazy. The sample quality is good enough for the purpouse. Even if the drum loop is really good, it's not enough to make it all the way... too bad.

UGHE Student Studies Soil-Related Disease Afflicting Farmers
Posted on Apr 23, 2019
Home to five of the eight volcanoes in the Virunga Mountains, the northern Rwanda district of Musanze hosts thousands of tourists each year. Musanze's location in the foothills of Volcanoes National Park is generating booms in business, tourism, and agriculture, but the rich, fertile land is also the source of one of the region’s neglected tropical diseases: podoconiosis.
Like many neglected tropical diseases (NTDs), podoconiosis is a disease of scarcity and often affects the most remote and poor communities. It’s characterized by severe swelling of the feet and legs and is caused by long-term, barefoot exposure to volcanic soils rich in silica—making Musanze’s geography highly conducive to the endemic disease.
Individuals with podoconiosis may suffer such extreme swelling that their feet and legs become disfigured. The disease, which is not widely understood, is often stigmatizing for those who develop it.
Four million people across 32 countries, mostly in tropical climates, are believed to have podoconiosis. In Rwanda alone, it is believed to affect about 69 of every 100,000 people. Until recently, though, the prevalence of the disease—and how to diagnose and treat it—had been relatively undocumented.
This pervasive gap in knowledge and reliable information galvanized Dr. Ursin Bayisenge, a student in the University of Global Health Equity’s (UGHE) Master of Science in Global Health Delivery program, to learn more. UGHE is an initiative of Partners In Health and located in Butaro, just 27 miles east of Musanze.
“I hadn’t heard of the term ‘podoconiosis’ until I started working at RBC,” said Bayisenge, who also is an NTD researcher at Rwanda Biomedical Centre in the country's capital, Kigali. “One of the first cases I worked on was a country-wide geographical mapping of the disease. This research proved that podoconiosis was prevalent in all 30 districts of Rwanda, but few people knew about it.
“I was shocked that so many people could be impacted,” he continued, “and yet clinicians and health professionals don’t understand it.”
Podoconiosis, a form of elephantiasis, is a chronic condition that often leaves people unable to walk. It's most prominent among Musanze’s subsistence farmers and others with routine exposure to soil. Prevention of podoconiosis includes protective footwear, but most subsistence families can’t afford to buy shoes. Informed medical professionals can diagnose podoconiosis without a test, and while no official treatment exists, symptoms can be alleviated through ointments, bandages, proper hygiene, and appropriate footwear. However, a lack of information about the disease—for medical professionals as well as patients—prevents proper diagnosis and access to care and treatment.
For Bayisenge, the decision to further investigate podoconiosis for his master’s capstone project at UGHE was easy. But he knew that a comprehensive assessment and subsequent intervention for podoconiosis control would require a different approach.
Each year, 12.6 million deaths worldwide are attributed to unhealthy environments, including soil. As part of a “systems” orientation to health, UGHE’s curriculum includes an approach known as One Health, which examines the complex links among humans, animals, and the environment. One Health brings a holistic approach to addressing the burden of disease, by broadening the perspective of specialists.
Applying this approach and building on the information collected through the RBC, Bayisenge used his practicum project to design and implement a knowledge, attitude, and practices—or KAP—survey on podoconiosis in Musanze, one of the Rwandan districts where the disease is most prominent. While clinicians play an important role in diagnosis, he knew that to better assess the community’s knowledge of the disease, his sample population would also have to include community health workers and environmentalists.
“Rwanda has a large workforce of community health workers who provide care and treatment at a patient’s house and have personal connections with remote community members,” explained Bayisenge. “Additionally, subsistence farmers frequently interact with the agriculture industry.
“Assessing both of these group’s KAP around podoconiosis is crucial to developing interventions that control the disease,” he added. “If well trained, community health workers and environmentalists could complement medical care by respectively managing and participating in prevention efforts of podoconiosis at the community level.”
Bayisenge’s research yielded expected responses. Of those who participated, very few people had heard of podoconiosis. Many, however, recognized the disease after being shown an image of its characteristics. Those who indicated meeting or treating an individual with podoconiosis acknowledged the patient’s intense isolation.
What Bayisenge hadn’t anticipated was respondents’ enthusiasm to be part of a solution. Respondents were eager to help support future prevention and management interventions.
By creating a baseline for understanding local knowledge about podoconiosis and attitudes toward people affected, Bayisenge hopes his study will raise awareness of the disease in Rwanda, thereby decreasing stigmatization and removing barriers to care.
“If people understand podoconiosis, they will not only give more support to those affected, but will help prevent it in those who are not yet affected.”

Muloorina Water Hole South Australia
Just before reaching Marree at the south eastern end of the Oodnadatta Track in South Australia there’s a bit of a track that turns northish onto Muloorina Station. Depending how you decide to take it, this track will get you to the usually very dry narrow neck that joins Lake Eyre proper with Lake Eyre South. Before you get there though, you will probably want to stop and make camp here, at Muloorina Waterhole. We certainly did.
Muloorina is a beautiful spot. An oasis in the desert. Literally. Along with Coward Springs it is one of two must-stop-at camp sites when travelling the Oodnadatta Track. The bird life is stunning. No yabbies though.

National Writing Project; Coastal Carolina Univ. summer programs for kids; Saluda Housing Project
Monday - May 18, 2009
There are nine SC Centers that host the National Writing Project and you’ll learn where they are and about their offerings for teachers on this week’s podcast from Dr. Tom Thompson of The Citadel. Coastal Carolina University has a number of programs that attract pre-college students in the summer and a few of these are explained by Dr. Emma Savage-Davis on the show, as is a concept designed to provide teacher housing in some of the state’s small, rural communities. Mark Bounds, a Deputy Superintendent in the South Carolina Department of Education is our guest with this interesting information.

A student who cracks open a beer while tailgating in a public area in Columbus before Michigan plays Ohio State tomorrow could face a fine of up to a $1,000 and possibly six months in jail.
It’s a fate awaiting students who are unaware of the alcohol laws in Ohio, which are harsher than those in Michigan.
The consequences for violating the open container law in Michigan are not as severe as in Ohio. “If you’re over 21 and you’re drinking in public, the maximum penalty is 30 days in jail or a $100 fine or both,” said Dana Fair, assistant to the vice president for student affairs.
Fair said the Office of Student Affairs at Ohio State University contacted the University in an effort to make sure students are aware of the penalties for violating Ohio alcohol laws. Fair specifically cited the law that prohibits anyone — even people older than 21 — from having an open container of alcohol in public, which includes sidewalks and streets. He also said the penalties that accompany the law are relatively high.
“We want to make sure that visiting fans from Michigan don’t come in and be surprised about our open container policies,” said William Hall, vice president for student affairs at Ohio State.
Ohio State spokeswoman Elizabeth Conlisk said the open container law will be strictly enforced around Ohio Stadium, although this was not always the case. “Students were getting tickets across High Street, yet in and around the stadium the law was not being enforced,” she said, referring to the main road running through the Ohio State campus. Conlisk added that for the past two years police officers have been trying to fix that imbalance. Hall said violators of the open container law are typically visiting fans because they are not aware of the consequences.
Hall said this problem arose at the Ohio State football game against Penn State on Oct. 30, when some students were cited for violating the law. As a result, he said Ohio State decided to warn Michigan students about the alcohol laws before the game tomorrow.
“Penn State fans came and were not aware. They ought to be aware, and we ought to be helpful,” Conlisk said.
Hall emphasized the importance of making students aware of the changes in Ohio alcohol laws. “We want them to come in and have a good time,” he said.
Fair said the University has been spreading the word in a number of ways. Vice President for Student Affairs E. Royster Harper sent an e-mail to all student leaders and an e-mail was sent by the athletic department to all Michigan fans holding tickets for tomorrow’s game, informing them about Ohio’s laws. Posters were placed in the residence halls and the Greek community was informed. The University also notified the Alumni Association and posted information on the Division of Student Affairs website, www.umich.edu/~ovpsa.

Open container violation in Ohio can lead to a $1,000 fine and six months in jail
In Michigan, the penalty for the same citation is a $100 fine and/or 30 days in jail.

Kiwi pond scum makes a splash in the world of health
Forget bee pollen and expensive vitamins - a Nelson-grown pond scum is set to be the latest fad for its super antioxidant properties.
Locally grown, astaxanthin is being snapped up throughout America and Asia for its potential to fight cancer and disease.
Derived from the haematococcus pluvialis microaglgae, it is scooped out of shallow Nelson ponds and extracted by Cawthron Institute scientists.
The final product is sold as Astasupreme capsules by Supreme Biotech. A bottle of 30 4mg capsules retails at $30, or $60 for 90.
The algae is said to be the most powerful antioxidant yet discovered.
And the fact it is from New Zealand means it gets a lot of attention, US anesthesiologist and toxicologist Dr Bob Corish said.
Marathon runners, football players and cyclists are among customers.
"Everyone wants a piece of squeaky clean New Zealand," according to Corish.
The slimy stuff has attracted Cornish's attention, and that of the author of America's most visited natural health website, Dr Joseph Mercola.
US inquries increased after Mercola featured an interview about the product on his site.
Astaxanthin carries some strong health claims about its anti-inflammatory properties.
The algae is said to protect skin from sun damage, as well as improve eye, heart, muscle and central nervous system health.
It is said to be easily absorbed and, unlike most antioxidants, can fight multiple free radicals at a time.
"It crosses the blood, brain area and knocks out free radicals in the central nervous system," Corish said. "It can protect against diseases like dementia and stroke." Astasupreme is one of just four astaxanthin products on the global market, competing with products from China, Israel and Sweden.
But not everyone is buying into it. Buyers should beware of products claiming to be 100 per cent natural, and ask whether they were really beneficial and worth the asking price, NZ Skeptics spokeswoman Vicki Hyde said.
Many health claims for algae had been over-blown through marketing hype, and were under-supported by research data, Hyde said. "Over the past dozen years we've seen lots of claims made for pond scum, ranging from treating cancer and Aids to anti-ageing effects."
She said if it were true, lots of evidence in support of such claims would have surfaced by now.
"You're probably better off sticking with orange juice - certainly it tends to taste a lot better," she said.

Autumnal Pumpkin Clock by Karen Clare
Samantha K MDF Pumpkin Base, witches brooms and numbers
Gesso (white and black)
Orange and Gold Acrylic paint
I turned this large pumpkin plaque into a bright and seasonal clock.
White gesso on the large pumpkin base allows the colours added on top to be nice and vibrant.
The shades of orange were applied using a similar technique to dry brushing but achieved with a scourer instead.
The numbers were painted with black gesso for a matte finish ( The same for the broomsticks and some more dry brushing technique),
I added sand texture and paint to the smaller pumpkins and a mixture of sand and glitter with gold paint to the filigree pumpkin.
A fun seasonal clock which celebrates both Halloween and Autumn!

I made a couple cards for this hop. For my 1st card, I used the adorable Heffy Doodle Sealy Friends set, SugarPea Design Sunburst & Wave stencil.
I started by die cutting the scallop background with SugarPea Card Front Element Builder dies. Then, without removing the dies, I layered the wave stencil and add blue ink blending. Next, I layered the sunburst stencil and ink up a couple different yellow hues. Once this done, then, I removed the dies. Adhere the panel to this pretty soft green Matcha cardstock from Maker Forte. This is my favorite soft green cardstock. Next, I colored the seals and the clouds (from Heffy Doodle Quack Me Up set). Fussy cut them and then adhere them to the card. Finish by stamping the sentiment, add some shimmer and some enamel drops.
Now, for my 2nd card, I completely switch gear from cutesy to floral.
For this card I used this gorgeous Hugs set by Alex Syberia Design for Maker Forte. I inked it up using Maker Forte Eclipse Black ink. And, wow... I am not usually easy to impress when it comes to ink, but this black ink is solid dark black. And it works perfectly with any alcohol markers. Colored the flowers and once finished, trim the panel and adhere it to the Matcha card base. Finished by stamping the sentiment from SugarPea Floral Envie set and add some enamel drops.

The Bentley S2 and the Bentley S2 Continental were produced alongside the Silver Cloud II. Powered by the new all-aluminium V8 engine of 6,230 cc the new models showed significant performance increase.
An added bonus was that the engine's output was more than sufficient even when automatic gearbox, power steering and the optional air conditioning absorbed power.
The number of independent coachbuilders had dwindled to but few companies by this time - moderately successful were Park Ward, Hooper, H.J. Mulliner and James Young, by whom the vast majoritiy of Bentley S2 Continental were bodied plus those few standard cars whose owners had decided to order a rolling chassis for custom coachwork.

It’s natural to do everything you can so your pets can have a long and happy life. Take a look at these various tips and see how you can pamper the special animals in your life.
Improve Their Food
It’s important to give your animal the highest quality food you can afford. Depending on the animal, this might mean a diet that has lots of veggies, no by-products, or raw meat. Make sure you’re well-versed in what your pet can and cannot eat, and include your veterinarian in the discussion if you are thinking of changing their diet to something totally different.
Consider A Healthcare Plan
Just as humans can have insurance plans to help pay for their healthcare, so can animals. You can find plans that include everything from dog and cat insurance to horse insurance. This is especially helpful for animals that might need a lot of surgeries or who are prone to accidents. Rather than worrying about how you’ll pay for a major expense, you can have peace of mind when it comes to taking care of your pet.
Give Your Pet Plenty Of Exercise
Exercise is crucial for animals when it comes to extending their life, keeping them minds active, and overall ensuring that they are healthy. Animals like dogs and horses thrive on running and playing outside, and even cats need to climb and play with the help of a cat tree. By offering various types of activities and spending time with your pet, you can help protect their mental health.
If you want to extend the life of your pet as much as possible, make sure they are eating a quality diet. Look for a health insurance plan that will cover their unique needs, and see to it that they get enough exercise. These factors can all play a vital role in ensuring a long and happy life.

PETALING JAYA: Companies listed in Bursa Malaysia that produce panels are expected to make strong profits in 2022 thanks to a bull cycle in the wood manufacturing sector.
The ongoing Russian-Ukrainian conflict, which has led Russia to ban the export of timber and forest products to the West, could see buyers sourcing from alternative suppliers in countries in this part of the region such as Vietnam, Indonesia and Malaysia, according to Hong Leong Research Investment Bank (HLIB).
The research firm said recent trade disputes bode well for local industry players amid strong demand for furniture and wood-based products from countries like the United States.
“The US-China and US-Canada trade wars as well as the Russian-Ukrainian conflict have exacerbated global supply and demand imbalances. To recap, China, Canada and Russia were ranked among the top five exporters of wood products in the world in 2019,” he said in a report yesterday.
He pointed out that the US market share of wood products imported from China dropped dramatically from 31% to 12.3% in just two years after the US-China trade war started in 2018. US housing market is one of the top importers of plywood, veneer panels and laminated wood sim in 2020, accounting for 17% market share.
Another bode well for local panelboard players is that raw material costs, which had increased due to supply disruptions and labor shortages, are coming down from the peak, according to the research house.
However, manufacturers were able to offset higher raw material prices with higher average selling prices (ASPs) for wood products due to strong demand.
Adhesive prices, which account for 20% to 30% of the cost of medium-density fiberboard (MDF) and plywood, peaked in January and continued to decline amid falling urea prices and a decline in the Global Supply Chain Pressures Index, the research firm said.
“With costs falling but ASPs holding firm, this could significantly boost the bottom line for panel producers during this boom cycle, as evidenced by recent earnings from companies under our coverage, such as Heveaboard Bhd.Evergreen Fibreboard Bhd and Focus Lumber Bhd..
“Overall, we believe the strong panel player earnings are here to stay, at least for 2022.
“We tactically prefer companies producing panels as they are seen as the main beneficiaries of the rising commodity cycle.
“When it comes to furniture players, we continue to love Lii Hen Industries Bhd and Homer Corp Bhd, given their attractive valuation, coupled with a dividend yield of over 5%,” the research firm added.
The research firm said Evergreen’s stock price “still has more steps to go as the current rally has likely not yet fully priced in its potential upside in earnings ahead” as the company looked set to benefit from post-pandemic trends in hybrid working and furniture buying. online, which made lightweight or flat-packed furniture popular.
Meanwhile, he finds the valuation of Focus Lumber, at an earnings price (PE) of 6.3x and 5.6x for FY22-FY23, undemanding and worth reassessing given the tailwinds.
In the case of HeveaBoard, he said the stock’s risk-reward profile is becoming more attractive now after falling 32.4% from 74 sen at the 52-week high to 50 sen as of March 30.
This is supported by undemanding valuations of 8.3 times estimated FY23 PE and 0.66 times book price, as well as supported by a 29% compound annual growth rate in earnings per share of exercise 20 to exercise 23.
The group also has a favorable environmental, social and governance profile due to its exposure in a sustainable industry, he added.

Health of ethnic minorities in Europe- and not only.
In an ever changing world like ours, migration is a reality that every country has to face, one way or another. According to the International Organization for Migration (IMO), the total number of international migrants has increased over the last 10 years from about 150 million in 2000 to 214 million today, which means that one every 33 persons in the world today is, in fact, a migrant. Migration nowadays takes many different forms, something which poses different challenges for the healthcare system of each country . The importance of issues in health and health care use amongst migrants and ethnic minorities has been recognised by different bodies, such as the European Public Health Association (EUPHA), which has a section dedicated to migrant health and the World Health Organisation (WHO) which organised a Global Consultation on Migrant Health in Madrid a few months ago.
Following this increasing need for understanding and explaining the differences in health and use of health care among different ethnicities, The International Journal of Public Health recently published a special issue on Health of ethnic minorities in Europe. Professor Sijmen A. Reijneveld wrote an Editorial for it, which is published with open access by Springer. That means you can have it for free here!
What do you think are the major challenges that public health professionals and policy makers have to face regarding these issues? What should future research focus on? Feel free to comment and share your experience!
An important issue related to migration is the associated rapid urbanization: as rural populations seek refuge, employment, etc in urban areas, we see an increase in the creation of slums and informal settlements where living conditions are worse than sub-standard. The most recent UN-HABITAT report which focused on “Hidden Cities” is well worth a read and is available here: http://www.hiddencities.org/
I believe future research should adopt a more systemic view of migrants health and become aware of the link between the conditions left behind by these migrants (and which in part encouraged their migration) and those encountered in their new place of settlement.
Hello Martine and thank you for your comment and the very interesing link. I agree with your recommendation for future research. I guess it is not always easy to study the conditions at a migrant’s place of origin by means other than self-report, but this could still provide useful insights into the connection of past and current health behaviour.

KCreative is a boutique design studio established in 2014. A curative of lifestyle culture, with a modern edge and eye for on-point trends, Karina Crombie’s love of textures, perfection in the palette and artisan eclecticism stems from an early exposure of global experience and world-class directive.
Karina has refined her breadth of skills and confidently embraces accents, bolder use of colour and an ability to create light and energy in any atmosphere. Coupling this with the application of texture and materiality to complement or contrast space.
Born in New Zealand, she moved to Australia when she was seven. Regularly cavorting weekly markets and antique auctions with her family and residing within a home overflowing with vast timeless collections. Her induction and understanding of space and interiors was born early.
The family moved to Thirroul on the NSW South Coast in the 1990’s and opened the iconic antique store ‘Cobwebs and Lace.’
This gave her a swift and exciting entry into the world of design, fashion and celebrities during the Grunge era.

Financial woes can adversely affect the quality of life for yourself and your family. Do not become one of those individuals. Whatever financial situation you’re facing, it can be improved if you follow some simple tips about how to save money and improve your finances. Continue to read to find out how to improve your finances.
When investing, refrain from ones that have large fees. There are fees associated with long term investment brokers. These fees can take a big bite of your returns, though, if they are large. Avoid using brokers who charge large commissions and steer clear of high-cost management funds.
Manage your money to be successful. Protect your profits and invest your capital. Letting profits build up in anticipation of later, larger expenditures is alright, but you must keep in mind that liquid assets cost you in terms of investment opportunities passed up. Set a rule for what profits you keep and what profits go into capital.
Your car and house are likely to be the biggest purchases you will make. Payments and interest on these things will be the thing you spend the most on every month. You can reduce the amount of interest you pay by increasing your monthly payment.
If married, make sure the partner with the better credit applies for loans. You can improve bad credit by regularly paying down credit card debt on time. When you and your spouse both have high credit, it will be possible to get two loans so the debt is distributed.
If the time doesn’t seem good, don’t sell. When earning some income on a stock, sit on it for a bit. Look at the stocks which aren’t performing that good and see if you can put that money into something better.
In order to make your credit situation better, you will need to first get out of debt. The best way to accomplish that goal is to repay credit cards and other loans, which may require some sacrifices. Cook more at home and try to choose only one or two activities to do each weekend. Pack a lunch for work and refrain from eating out too much on the weekends; this can save you quite a bit of money. In order to have better credit, you have to make some sacrifices.
When trading on forex, make it a goal to learn about market trends. It is very important to remain informed so that you can always buy low and sell high. Do not sell a downswing or an upswing. Make very clear goals when you choose to not completely ride out a trend.
A credit card is a good choice over a debit card. One great use for credit cards is for daily items, such as gasoline or food. Most of the time, you’ll get rewards or cash back when you use a credit card to purchase these items.
If you take advantage of online banking and bill paying, see what kinds of alerts you can set up with your bank. Most banks will inform you via email or text message when certain changes happen to your account. Low balance alerts and large withdrawal alerts can help protect you from overdraft and fraud, for example.
In these turbulent times, spreading any savings you have around multiple locations is sound strategy. Put some in a pure savings account, more in a checking space, invest some in equities, and then put more into higher-interest arenas and even gold. Using a combination of these savings strategies (or even all of them at once) will help you protect your money.
A lot of people spend serious money every week on their state lottery. Invest that money for your future instead. This will give you a guaranteed gain, rather than losing to an overwhelmingly risky game.
To understand how you spend money, keep a journal listing every cent you spend for one week. However, if you write it in a notebook that gets closed and set aside until you open it again the next day, it might become a case of “out of sight, out of mind”. This is why you should install a white board into your bedroom, kitchen, or even your office so that you can write out your expenses. You will look at it every day and be reminded of what you need to do.
It is crucial to pay all of your utility bills promptly each month. Paying them late could ruin your credit rating. Paying late will also rack up late fees and penalties. Paying late causes headaches that are not worth it, so pay on time or even early, when you can.
Being aware of the value of your possessions will make a huge difference in the way you choose to dispose of the item. People stand to receive a nice surprise when they discover they own something valuable and it’s worth a lot of money.
One way to improve your finances is to refuse to pay full price for anything. It is time to stop shopping without thinking and start comparing prices among the brands, don’t just purchase the same old one which is more expensive. Also, keep an eye out for coupons to get an even better bargain. If you always buy Purina Cat Chow, but this week’s online coupons has a coupon for Fancy Feast, you might be able to get the Fancy Feast for less than the Cat Chow for once.
You may want to talk with a friend or family member that either currently works in, or did in the past, a financial position, so they can teach you how to manage your finances from their personal experiences. If one does not know any people who fit that description a family member of friend who is good with their money can often be the next best thing.
With the advice that you have received today, you should be able to make things right once more. You ought to have a new perspective on how you can improve your financial prospects. Now that your situation has improved, be sure to pass on the knowledge.
Make sure you are aware of when you should file income taxes. If you’re expecting to get a refund, you’ll want to file your return as early as possible in order to get access to your money. It is a better idea to file near April 15th if there is a chance the you owe the government money in taxes.

Like Paris, it was love at first sight with Barcelona. This city has so much energy! When we arrived, we could hardly wait to get out to check out the scene. Everywhere you looked, people were drinking on patios, chatting, laughing and generally having a good time. We noticed right away that the locals were quite a beautiful people. Olive skin, dark hair and striking blue or green eyes.
While not as extravagant as Paris, Barcelona certainly has lots of great architecture. We stayed in an area called the Gothic Quarter which had lots of of narrow walkways, big stone walls and tiny little spaces converted to tapas bars.
This part of Barcelona, aside from being a big tourist area, is also highly residential. We learned that there is quite a struggle going on within this neighbourhood to find balance between those that live there and the businesses who draw lots of noise and chaos. This is something that we can certainly empathize with living in the West End of Vancouver. We saw lots of banners stating 'we want to live in a neighbourhood of dignity' as well as signs meant to chase away the folks who sell beer after hours and allow the rowdy's to keep everyone up all night by partying in their hood.
We took a walking tour and learned alot about the history of Barcelona. The folks who live in this area are called Catalonians and they are a very proud people. They consider themselves separate from the rest of Spain (they wish to separate like Quebec does in Canada) and speak their own dialect of Spanish.
The city has lots to see and we spent as much time as we could checking the place out.
The harbour was beautiful and housed many a fancy yacht.
We learned about the dark side of Barcelona's history and how a dictator called Franco had hurt these people for many years before finally dying. After his death, democracy was restored but there are still many scars on the city from his reign. We were told that while Franco was in power, any Catalonian who would speak their own language or practice their own beliefs were rounded up and shot. Pretty powerful stuff....
On a lighter note, Barcelona is also known as a city of artists. We visited a cafe called the 4 Cats which is known for having a history of being a hangout for great artists such as Picasso. It was fun to know that the place where we were enjoying dinner and drinks had been shared with great men such as these.
And of course, Barcelona has beaches! Although, it has to be noted that these beaches are artificial. Apparently, when the city won their bid for the Olympics, they re-developed their waterfront and imported sand to create the beaches that grace the city today. As these beaches are not meant to be there, they wash away every year and the city digs up the sand offshore every year and puts it back where it thinks it belongs. That said, the beaches were lovely..
Another quirk of Barcelona that we discovered is something we called 'lunchbox birds'. Many locals carried these small cages around with them that held finches. They doted on these little birds and carried them with them everywhere. Many of the cafes had hooks on the outside that you could hang your 'lunchbox bird' on to sun and sing while you went inside to drink and eat tapas. Kind of bizarre and charming at the same time.
All in all, our experience of Barcelona was awesome. We would happily come back to visit this amazing city again.

Gigabyte Unveils WindForce 3X Radeon R9 Fury
John Williamson / 8 years ago
AMD’s R9 Fury graphics card utilizes 3,584 shaders, 224 textures units and 4GB of high-bandwidth memory. Compared to the Fury Nano and Fury X, the Fury is the cheapest in the Fiji line-up and adopts a more traditional design philosophy. The Windforce X3 edition opts for a 3 fan design and core clock reaching 1010MHz. This is a fairly small boost from the reference figure of 1000MHz. Although, the advanced cooling solution could allow for some overclocking headroom.
In terms of power requirements, the graphics card contains two PCI-E 8 pin connectors. Apart from that, the power delivery and other aspects of the PCB are still unknown. However, the OC edition could result in chip binning to find the most overclockable units available.
The rear I/O features a single HDMI port, three DisplayPorts and a Dual-Link DVI-I connector. There is also a hefty backplate which adds a premium feel and reduces GPU droop. As with any Gigabyte graphics card, the Fury WindForce X3 OC includes 3-year warranty period. I’m fascinated to see what kind of overclocking potential there is given the limited boosts so far on the Fiji architecture.
Despite this, it’s great to see more HBM-based graphics cards becoming commonplace as supply issues are reduced.
