Well-being is a positive outcome that is meaningful for people and for many sectors of society because it shows that people perceive that their lives are going well. Good living conditions (e.g., housing, employment) are fundamental to well-being. Tracking these conditions is important. However, many indicators that measure living conditions fail to measure what people think and feel about their lives such as the quality of their relationships, their positive emotions and resilience, the realization of their potential, or their overall satisfaction with life—i.e., their “well-being.” Well-being generally includes global judgments of life satisfaction and feelings ranging from depression to joy.
Why is well-being useful?
- Well-being integrates mental health (mind) and physical health (body) resulting in more holistic approaches to disease prevention and health promotion.
- Well-being is a valid population outcome measure beyond morbidity, mortality, and economic status that tells how people perceive their lives are going from their own perspective.
- Well-being is an outcome that is meaningful to the public.
- Results from cross-sectional, longitudinal, and experimental studies find that well-being is associated with:
- Self-perceived health
- Healthy behaviors
- Mental and physical illness
- Social connectedness
- Factors in the physical and social environment
Measuring, tracking, and promoting well-being can be useful in disease prevention and health promotion. Well-being is associated with numerous health-, job-,family-,and economically-related benefits. For example, higher levels of well-being are associated with decreased risk of disease, illness, and injury; better immune functioning; speedier recovery; and increased longevity. Individuals with high levels of well-being are more productive at work and are more likely to contribute to their communities.
How does well-being relate to health promotion?
Health is more than the absence of disease; it is a resource that allows people to realize their aspirations, satisfy their needs, and to cope with the environment in order to live a long, productive, and fruitful life. In this sense, health enables social, economic, and personal development fundamental to well-being. Health promotion is the process of enabling people to increase control over, and to improve their health. Environmental and social resources for health can include: peace, economic security, a stable ecosystem, and safe housing. Individual resources for health can include: physical activity, healthful diet, social ties, resiliency, positive emotions, and autonomy. Health promotion activities aimed at strengthening such individual, environmental, and social resources may ultimately improve well-being.
How is well-being defined?
There is no consensus around a single definition of well-being, but there is general agreement that at minimum, well-being includes the presence of positive emotions and moods (e.g., contentment, happiness), the absence of negative emotions (e.g., depression, anxiety), satisfaction with life, fulfillment and positive functioning, (e.g., feeling very healthy and full of energy). In simple terms, well-being can be described as judging life positively and feeling good. The following areas have been examined by different disciplines and include six of the dimensional wellness categories:
- Physical well-being
- Economic well-being
- Social well-being
- Development and activity
- Emotional well-being
- Psychological well-being
- Life satisfaction
- Domain specific satisfaction
- Engaging activities and work
What are some determinants of individual-level well-being?
There is no sole determinant of individual well-being, but in general, well-being is dependent upon good health, positive social relationships, and availability and access to basic resources (e.g., shelter, income). Life satisfaction is dependent more closely on the availability of basic needs being met (food, shelter, income) as well as access to modern conveniences (e.g., electricity). Pleasant emotions are more closely associated with having supportive relationships. Having supportive relationships is one of the strongest predictors of well-being, having a notably positive effect.

text: Anderson, Samuel a Methodist Episcopal minister, was born in Norway, May 3, 1824. He, emigrated to Chicago, Ill., in 1849; soon after was powerfully converted, and in 1853 began his itinerant career in connection with the Wisconsin Conference. His physical constitution was never strong, and undue exertion in protracted meetings in his last mission, Primrose, caused his death, March 16, 1860. Mr. Anderson was a scholar, speaking four languages readily. As a preacher, he was logical, eloquent, pathetic. He possessed a vast amount of theological lore, and a burning zeal for the salvation of his countrymen. He did gigantic work in Wisconsin and Minnesota for the Church.

As you can see I'm doing a modified trip around the world for my next quilt. Originally I was going to have the 4 patch squares alternating with the solids. Then after making them all, I decided didn't like that layout and changed it to this. My plans are to pick up all the colors of the center of the quilt in the borders.
Since I'm new to sewing I'm not quite sure how to solve this problem: since I'm now sewing all the 4 patch squares together some of the seams aren't intersecting right even when I plan ahead. I think it's because I'm sewing patches to make the rows instead of sewing single strips together where I can plan all the seams better. So what would you suggest? Do I need to take apart all the blocks that don't match up when I sew them into rows so all the seams intersect right or is it okay for there to be a slight twist in the seam so that I can still make the seams intersect right? I hope this makes since. Since this is going to be a light weight quilt for a tropical climate there's not going to be batting. Does this factor into how I address this issue? (I think I'll be using flannel for backing).
Thanks for your input!
The beginning of the top on the design wall...all the smaller blocks are 4 patches
If you look closely you'll see that some of the seams will either be bulky if I iron them like they want to lie down or they will intersect if I turn them to the other side but then there's a twist in the seam.

Emotions have long been a central concern in philosophy, psychological and sociological studies. When anthropologists began to study emotion, they challenged many assumptions shared by Western academics and lay persons by exposing the cultural variability of emotional meanings. In this collection of original essays by anthropologists concerned with the relationship of language and emotion, it is argued that the key focus to the study of emotion might be the politics of social life rather than the psychology of the individual. Through close studies of talk about emotion and emotional discourses in social contexts from poetry and song to therapeutic narratives, scholars who have worked in India, Fiji, the United States, Egypt, Senegal and the Solomon Islands show how emotion is tied to politics of everyday interaction. Their arguments and cross-cultural findings will intrigue and provoke anyone who has thought about the relationship between emotion, language and social life. The book will be of special interest to those who find the boundaries between cultural, psychological and linguistic anthropology, sociology, cross-cultural psychiatry, and social psychology too confining.

Powdered materials used in manufacturing along with particulate produced by normal wear of medical devices can be analyzed for particle size and shape characteristics to ensure products meet strict quality and safety standards. Manufacturers of medical devices and implants rely on the particle characterization services offered by Particle Technology Labs to meet their crucial specifications and to ensure the safety of their products.
Implants – foreign particulate matter present on implants such as those used in knee, hip, or breast, can result in infections and other health risks. Determining the size of these particulates can allow improvements in the cleaning processes used and the implemented quality control measures to ensure finished products are safe and suitable for use.
Artificial Joints – through the everyday use of medical devices, wear naturally occurs, resulting in the shedding of particulate from the product. These particles can be analyzed to evaluate if they may present long-term adverse effects in the body. Large particles from an artificial joint might cause pain, inflammation, or premature failure of the joint surface. To test particles, manufacturers place the joint in a saline bath and move it thousands of times in a simulated stress test. This saline can then be analyzed at Particle Technology Labs for the particle size of the debris and the shape of the particles can be observed by scanning electron microscopy. This valuable information can be used by designers to predict joint performance.

Drug Recall Law In India
- A public notice concerning a batch of medication that had been mistakenly distributed to the market was published in newspapers on April 25 by the global pharmaceutical company Abbot.
- Since 1976, India has debated passing legislation requiring the removal of tainted medications from the market, but as of today, no such law has been passed.
- Because unsafe pharmaceuticals are not taken off the market as soon as possible, people, including children, are virtually likely to die or experience terrible health outcomes. In government laboratories, dozens of pharmaceuticals consistently fail random testing.
Points to Ponder:
- Contrary to the United States, India does not have a statute requiring forced drug recalls.
- Because India doesn’t have a law requiring forced recalls, medicine manufacturers are not compelled to remove faulty or mislabeled products from the market.
- In India, discussions of enacting legislation requiring recalls started in 1976, but no changes to the Drugs and Cosmetics Act have been made to establish a binding framework to compel such recalls.
- The Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation (CDSCO) published recall guidelines in 2012, however, they lacked legal status.
- The Union Health Ministry’s Drug Regulation Section’s indifference and lack of experience, as well as India’s extremely disjointed regulatory structure—each State has its drug regulator—are the main causes of the absence of a mandatory recall statute.
- Even though medications produced in one State can easily cross borders to be sold in all States across the nation, the pharmaceutical industry and state drug regulators have resisted increasing centralization of regulatory powers.
- Since India should have a single regulator if it were a single market for medications, the argument against centralization is illogical.
- It’s possible that India’s drug authorities are aware that a forced medicine recall system, which would necessitate extensive publicity, would draw attention to the plight of the pharmaceutical business.
- The recent focus on the problem of drug failures abroad has not led to any changes in India’s current situation.

Nursing house CNA training is training to grow to be a nursing assistant that is offered at a nursing dwelling facility. Continuing care communities normally supply training for nursing assistants. The training is often offered for individuals who have already been hired to function for the facility but nevertheless need to take training to grow to be certified. There are times when a continuing care community will deliver training for somebody already operating at the nursing property who desires to turn into a nursing assistant. This can be an opportunity for an individual to modify their profession if they may be thinking about operating as a nursing assistant.
If a healthcare provider gives you CNA training at no expense to you, they’re like to demand you to operate for their facility for an agreed upon amount of time. It’s not uncommon for them to ask you to function for them for a minimum of 1 year. You’ll obtain excellent CNA training for those who train in a continuing care community. The course will teach you the duties and responsibilities of a nursing assistant. You might discover about patient privacy rights and how to spot and report elder abuse. Your course will teach you some medical information and facts. You’ll discover how to respond to an emergency scenario. There will probably be lecture and classroom portions of your CNA Training by way of a nursing house. You may also have some lab classes. Just before you function with real patients, you may do some role playing with other students in order to practice procedures.
You’ll possibly also observe nurse and nursing assistants in action. Lastly, you are going to get to function directly with some patients. Most Nursing dwelling CNA Training courses will last about someplace between three and six weeks. You might locate both full-time and part-time course opportunities in a nursing property setting. Needless to say, your training will last for a longer time period should you be only studying a handful of hours each day. You can be nicely ready for the nursing certification exam upon completion of a nursing assistant training program at a nursing house. As soon as you may have completed all your coursework, you can be able to take the examination. Your instructor will provide you with the details about any time you will take your exam and how to prepare.
You will also find out what you will need to bring with you in order to take the test. If you’re not sure which nursing institutions in your location are providing nursing assistant training, it is possible to make contact with a number of straight. You’ll be able to also get in touch with the nursing aide registry in your region for information about nursing homes that provide CNA training. If an employer hires you to perform as a nursing assistant and has state that they are going to give you all needed training to become certified, they’ll provide you with the information and facts you’ll need.

Unveiling Boxing Day: Exploring Its Origins and Traditions
Introduction: The Day After Christmas
Observed on December 26th in various parts of the world, Boxing Day is a traditional holiday steeped in history and customs. This day, positioned right after Christmas, holds significance for many cultures, though its origins and practices vary across different regions.
Origins of Boxing Day: A Historical Narrative
The exact genesis of Boxing Day remains shrouded in historical ambiguity, but its roots can be traced back centuries. One prominent theory links its origins to medieval Europe, where churches would open their alms boxes to distribute funds to the less fortunate on December 26th, also known as St. Stephen's Day.
St. Stephen’s Day and the Alms Collection Tradition
St. Stephen's Day, a Christian holiday commemorating the martyrdom of Saint Stephen, was a day dedicated to charity and giving. Churches would collect donations in alms boxes, which were opened and distributed to the needy the following day, hence the name "Boxing" Day, possibly derived from these alms boxes.
Evolution of Boxing Day: From Charitable Giving to Festive Traditions
Over time, Boxing Day evolved beyond its charitable connotations to encompass a day of relaxation, leisure, and festive activities. In the United Kingdom and other Commonwealth countries, the day became associated with various customs and traditions that differ from the original charitable aspect.
Boxing Day Traditions: Diverse Cultural Celebrations
In modern times, Boxing Day is celebrated differently across the globe. In the UK, it's often marked by sports events like football matches and fox hunting, while in Canada and some other countries, it's a major shopping day with retailers offering post-Christmas sales akin to Black Friday in the United States.
Boxing Day in Different Cultures
While it's a public holiday in countries like the UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, other regions may have different practices. Some observe it as a continuation of Christmas festivities, a day for family gatherings, leftover feasts, and acts of generosity.
The Global Evolution of Boxing Day
As globalisation spreads traditions and cultures worldwide, the celebration of Boxing Day has transcended its initial roots, becoming a part of diverse celebrations and practices across continents. Its interpretation and observance may vary, but the essence of sharing, giving, and community remains a central theme.
Conclusion: A Day of Tradition and Community Spirit
Boxing Day, with its historical roots in charitable giving and evolving modern-day celebrations, remains a significant holiday in various cultures. Whether it's about continuing Christmas merriment, engaging in sports, or indulging in post-holiday sales, the essence of generosity, togetherness, and goodwill prevails, making it a day cherished by many across the world.

The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas
February 28, ,2017 – Balzer & Bray
464p – Young Adult, Fiction, Contemporary
Purpose: Review, #offmybookshelf
Source: Edelweiss, Publisher, Bookshelf
I was given a copy of this title, free, en exchange for my honest opinion.
his is another book that talks about a white police officer shooting a black male. But make no mistake, it is also a book that stands out on its own. You have probably already heard of this book, as it came out and took the world by storm. I am not one that ever feels that a book deserves a bunch of hype, but in this case I can understand it. It is good for so many reasons, but it is not a perfect book. (I have yet to find one that is.)
Starr is at party in her neighborhood when shots are fired. Her old friend, Khalil is there with her and quickly gets her out and safely away. While heading to her house or her father’s store, they are pulled over by a white officer for a busted headlight. While Starr is mentally reciting the lessons of how to behave when pulled over by the police, it is apparent that Khalil did not receive those lessons. As the police is making his way to the car, Starr does ask if there is any drugs in the car. What could have simply been a routine stop quickly escalates into a homicide. This is due to both Khalil’s mouthiness and the officer’s fear/prejudice/choice.
**With the rising number of shootings, people -black people in particular- have been having conversations with their kids about what to do when you are pulled over by the police? Is it necessary? If you have taught your kids to be respectful of authority then no it’s not. Because, regardless of your opinion of the police or your socio-economic circumstance the police are in a position of authority. EVEN IF YOU HAVE DONE NOTHING WRONG. I have been pulled over before and was told that I resembled a suspect that the police were looking for. No I didn’t believe them, but I was still respectful. Sometimes, it’s not about being right, it’s about doing the right thing.**
Starr then struggles with how to reconcile what has happened, with the way the world reacts and how the police handle the situation. It’s murder to Starr and every other black person that was not there that night. But the police do not see it as such. This brings up a lot of emotions, one that just didn’t make much sense to me. She felt that by being with Chris, she was somehow betraying Khalil. After a year of dating, you’re just not realizing that your boyfriend is white and now you think you’re betraying your race? In reality, all of these feelings would have come up at the beginning of their relationships and not now, and they would have been resolved by this point. Especially with Big Mav as a dad. So, I’m calling flag on the field.
**I am with a white man, I have two biracial babies. My dad always had something about white people. I did not go to a school that was dominantly white, but I was constantly the only black person around. And before anyone thinks that you only date white guys cause that’s all you’re around, bull. It’s a choice to date outside of your race-regardless of what your race is. It doesn’t happen by accident, so you can’t wake up one day and realize dude my boyfriend’s white. Yes, there are some things that make the differences in race more apparent. But I’m calling foul on Starr’s sudden realization. **
As Starr deals with the loss of Khalil and with what the news is reporting about him, she is learnign that there is more to him than even she knew about. And she has to come to terms to that. At the same time the communities around her are reacting. Either by trying to figure how to deal with the anger and the hurt that they feel or by trying to get justice in a situation that is all too familiar to them.
This is bringing to light so many things for Starr, not just with her community, but with her family and her fellow classmates. She is learning so much, she is learning to use her voice but most importantly, she is joining the conversation.
This book is powerful, not just because of the content of its pages. It is joining the conversation. It is lifting back the covers and giving the world an inside peek at how things really are -as much as a work of fiction can. The Hate U Give acts as a window into Starr’s story that is at once all to familiar and completely foreign-depending on a reader’s own experiences. Thomas does an amazing job in creating characters that are real and emotionally authentic. She has taken a situation that is in itself already complex and controversial and pulled back to give 360• view of it. There’s surprises. there’s humor and there’s truth. Truth about the pain, the anger and the feeling of being lost in your own world.

President Trump Should Name White House Science Adviser
STAT: Why President Trump needs to finally name a science adviser
John P. Holdren, professor of environmental policy at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government and former science adviser to President Obama and director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy
“…[I]t would be unwise in the extreme for the president to let the current vacuum in science advice in the White House persist. Insights from science and technology are relevant to many of the decisions about actions and policies that a president must make … While scientific insights won’t be the only factors the president considers in any given decision, it would be foolish for him to make policy or take action without having the relevant scientific facts. … Every president stocks the White House with people who can advise him on the economy, national defense, and foreign relations. And nearly all presidents in modern times have understood that science and technology are so central to all of those top-tier issues — and practically every other issue on the nation’s agenda — that science and technology advice in the White House is no less essential. One must hope that President Trump comes to understand this, too” (4/5).

I’ll be in Louisville this weekend for FandomFest. It will be my last public appearance for 2011, unless Seventh Star Press does some kind of a book launch for Book Three. This will also be my last convention under the banner of Third Axe Media, so it’s a little bittersweet. I’m hoping to go out with a bang and sell a bunch of books and posters. The show is shaping up to be awesome with the headliners being John Carpenter and Henry Winkler.
I will head up on Thursday so I don’t have to rush on Friday. I’m looking forward to seeing some old friends and meeting all the folks involved with Seventh Star. I doubt I’ll get to rest much because of my panel schedule and table, but it’ll be nice to have a weekend away even if I will be working most of the time.
I’ll try to write another blog tomorrow or Thursday will my full panel schedule, so any of my friends and readers in Kentucky will know where to find me. If you live close to Louisville, come out to the Fern Valley Hotel and Convention Center and check out the show. It should be a blast.

WALTHAM, Mass., May 13, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Mac-Gray Corporation (NYSE: TUC) today announced that Glass Lewis & Co., LLC and Egan-Jones Proxy Services have recommended that its clients support Mac-Gray's incumbent director nominees. The two firms have advised that shareholders vote for Chairman Thomas Bullock and Directors William Meagher, Jr. and Alastair Robertson on the WHITE proxy card.
"The support of Glass Lewis and Egan-Jones delivers an important message to Mac-Gray shareholders," said Thomas E. Bullock, Mac-Gray's Chairman of the Board. "The opinion of these independent advisory firms is that shareholders should support the incumbent slate of directors and not support the candidates proposed by the TUC IVC Group. We strongly urge all shareholders to vote FOR our highly-qualified director nominees on the WHITE proxy card today via mail, telephone, internet, or in person at the Company's Annual Meeting to be held on May 18."
Additionally, Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. (ISS) has also advised its clients to not vote in favor of the dissident slate of candidates. However, due to its policy on matters of classified boards and shareholder rights plans, ISS recommended a withhold vote on Mac-Gray's incumbent nominees. The Board strongly disagrees with ISS's withhold recommendation and urges all shareholders to vote for the Company's nominees, who have delivered substantial value in terms of stock performance, key financial metrics, balance sheet strength and returning equity to shareholders.
Regarding the director nominees, Glass Lewis & Co., LLC stated the following in its May 4th report:
- "Upon full review, we believe the Dissident has failed to provide sufficient reason for shareholders to replace the incumbent nominees. On the quantitative side, we find many of the TUC Group's arguments lack comparative benchmarks and do not reasonably reflect the financial condition and operating performance of Mac-Gray, particularly over the course of the last several years."
- "...we believe shareholders would be best served by supporting an incumbent board that has, together with current management, improved margins, generated superior share price performance and returned excess capital to shareholders through a regular quarterly dividend."
- "As a first point of review, we see the Dissident states the Company overpaid for a series of acquisitions between fiscal years 2004 and 2008... We find this argument uncompelling...."
- "We believe that our support for the management ballot is merited and that voting the management ballot (WHITE PROXY CARD) is in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders. In arriving at that conclusion, we have considered the following factors:

Increasingly, private messaging apps are becoming a topic of regulatory scrutiny in many jurisdictions.
In the United States, towards the end of 2022, a number of significant fines were imposed by the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission on multiple prominent financial institutions over breaches of various communications and record-keeping requirements involving (among other things) the use of such technologies.
In the UK, following The Daily Telegraph’s recent reporting on the issue of over 100,000 leaked messages sent using private messaging apps, which were apparently used by ministers to discuss critical UK Government business and make significant decisions during the global COVID 19 pandemic (the so-called “Lockdown Files”), the UK Information Commissioner, John Edwards, has highlighted the importance of maintaining appropriate records when using such apps.
Mr Edwards has stressed the need to keep public records of such private messages, in the interests of clarity and accountability and to facilitate learning from previous experiences. While stopping short of suggesting that the use of private messaging apps to conduct government business should be prevented, Mr Edwards observed that there is a risk that decisions made using such technologies may be lost from the public record if relevant messages are not correctly documented and retained.
Mr Edwards' comments follow a 2022 report by the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) into similar issues which resulted from a 12-month long investigation. This report noted that an absence of explicit rules around the use of private messaging apps in the conduct of government business and their swift proliferation could result in critical information being mislaid or managed insecurely, potentially damaging government accountability and transparency.
Although not completely analogous, the Information Commissioner’s comments serve as a useful reminder to all organisations which process personal data of the importance of appropriately regulating the use of communications technologies by their employees in order to ensure compliance with such organisations’ obligations under applicable data protection legislation, such as the EU General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 (EU GDPR), the UK Data Protection Act 2018, (DPA) and the UK GDPR (as defined in the DPA).
For example, under the EU GDPR and the UK GDPR, organisations which handle personal data are obliged to implement “appropriate technical and organisational measures” to ensure that all personal data is processed securely. Discharging such obligations involves, among other things, carrying out risk assessments and implementing comprehensive policies and procedures to ensure personal data security.
As part of this, organisations should consider implementing information security policies which control the use by their employees of certain technologies such as private messaging apps, as well as the use by employees of personal devices, ("Bring-Your-Own-Device" policies), in each case for work purposes. This is because the use of such technologies and devices could potentially lead to increased security vulnerabilities (although organisations should also take care to ensure that any relevant security policies comply with applicable requirements in respect of employee monitoring).
Other relevant data protection obligations that data controllers should consider if permitting the use of private messaging apps in the context of their businesses include (among other things) the requirements to:
- Process personal data fairly, lawfully and transparently.
- Ensure that personal data is accurate and up to date.
- Retain personal data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes for which the personal data were collected.
- Maintain appropriate and comprehensive records of personal data processing activities.
This could all become more challenging to comply with if the use of certain communications technologies within the workplace remains uncontrolled.
There is no doubt that the use of private messaging apps is here to stay and such technologies are likely to continue to increase in popularity. As the Information Commissioner noted “New technologies bring new opportunities, and it is clear that these can play a crucial role in keeping us connected.”
Having said that, regulatory oversight in this area – whether of government business, other public sector organisations or the private sector – is also likely to continue. In view of this, organisations would do well to consider how to ensure that the use of these technologies within their businesses is managed in an appropriate and compliant way.

City force a smile as points slip
Stoke City 1 Manchester City 1
MANCHESTER City are trying hard -- a little too hard, you feel -- to demonstrate that they are enjoying all this. Roberto Mancini used the word last week and David Platt returned to it late on Saturday, after the man he assists had left the arena with a face like thunder.
"Well, yeah -- why not?" he said. "I mean, you have to enjoy it. Of course you can enjoy it. I think any team would like a 10-point cushion, wouldn't it? But that's what you're in the game for. You get highs, you get lows. Deep down, it's enjoyable."
This conversation was tense at times, though. "No, no, no, no. That's you saying that. I haven't said that. I've tried to answer the questions in a truthful manner and if that's the way you choose to write it," he said when it was put to him that we were observing a pressure situation playing out.
In truth, Platt's task -- facing the music over the fallout from Patrick Vieira's questionable decision to accuse United of "weakness" in bringing back Paul Scholes -- was a deeply thankless one. Platt is a very important part of Mancini's team, a bridge to those players who find the manager's distant air difficult, and his spokesman for awkward occasions -- most recently when Mario Balotelli had half-volleyed Tottenham Hotspur's Scott Parker in the stomach, answers were required and Mancini, we were told, had "lost his voice". Yet this was not a moment for the manager to find his voice. His absence, save for a pre-match claim that he could deal with Ferguson's barbs because he was in possession of "a big helmet", ceded the stage to the Manchester United manager on a weekend when his side did not even take to a football field.
Platt brushed away the barb made by Ferguson on Friday, that the redeployment of Carlos Tevez, not Scholes, was an act of desperation. "When you look at the quotes, Sir Alex hasn't necessarily said that. It seems it was a bit tongue in cheek and there was a bit of fun there," he said. "Robbie just laughed. It's not a problem to him. It's not about him and it's not about Sir Alex. It's about the two teams alone and apart." And, to a point, Platt is right, of course.
The absence of pace in the City side is the deficit which has most limited them to just two league victories -- at Wigan and Aston Villa -- on the road since November. So, too, the quality which Kevin Keegan used the German word ideen to define on Saturday: ideas.
A misplaced header by Edin Dzeko -- yet to become the player City had hoped, despite a 19-goal season -- was the only hint of a chance before Yaya Toure's deflected shot equalled out the effort which earned Stoke's goalscorer the Twitter title 'Peter LeCrouchier'.
The bandage David Silva wore on Saturday was a metaphor for a player limping to the end of the season with his troubled left ankle and the one player who seemed capable of providing the width Mancini's side lacked throughout, substitute Adam Johnson, found himself involved in a loud verbal exchange with his manager by the end. Johnson, who could be a superstar, frustrates his club hugely.
That very public exchange, no source of motivation for Johnson, raised the question of whether that intensity of Mancini's will actually aid the pursuit of the title. "He's fine. He's beyond fine -- seriously," Platt said of his boss, also insisting that what said about Mancini 12 months ago -- "he sees the game peripherally, to him what a player has just unsuccessfully tried is alien" -- no longer applied. "It's not odd (that he hasn't shown up before the media) because he is intense," Platt added, "and he is likely to get drawn on something."
Ferguson never gets drawn into any newspaper territory which doesn't suit him. He doesn't show at post-match Premier League press conferences -- ever -- because it suits him not to.
But he does not generally impugn Stoke's physicality either, accepting the challenge as part of this football competition. Mancini's unwillingness to shake the Stoke manager's hand after a match in which his side's typically physical performance was not generally illegal, did not look like grace under pressure and it handed Pulis -- who clearly doesn't care for City's accelerated growth -- some moral high ground.
"Everybody gets invited in (for a drink after the game)," he said of Mancini. "I can't force him. He's obviously very, very disappointed. The money they've spent, the players that they've got at their disposal, I think they are expecting to win (the title). I can see why he's a little bit down; because now it's pressure time. If people want to shake my hand, fine; if they don't, that's up to them."
The task until the Manchester derby of April 30 is to put United out of mind. "We try not to speak too much about them," Gareth Barry said. "The aim is to keep it to no more than three points (between us) before we play them at the Etihad. If we manage to do that, then we fancy ourselves in that game."
A caveat, though, to the suggestion that Ferguson has clinched round one of the mental battle, is that City can be sure they -- and Tevez in particular -- will be nagging away in the Glaswegian's mind, because he only goes in for psychological warfare against those sides who do.
One of the games Ferguson has discussed perhaps more than many others in recent years was the late win at Stoke, secured within days of his side returning from the rigours of the World Club Cup in Japan in 2009, which he always considered pivotal to United clinching the title that year.
The match-winner was a player who provided further fleeting hints on Saturday that his restored powers could do United some serious damage. Carlos Tevez. (© Independent News Service)

We have been hearing about it since many years and it is now a reality. We are talking here about a new trail that now connects the Club de motoneige Vallée de la Matapédia and the Club de motoneigistes de la rivière Verte located in New Brunswick.
On the Québec side, it is not a federated trail, so it is not found on maps. But, on the New Brunswick side, it is called Trail 155. It did not appear by accident. Effectively, since many years, snowmobilers from the Matapédia, the Mitis and even from the Rimouski region have gone snowmobiling in New Brunswick through this route or through forest roads on Zec du Bas-Saint-Laurent. Their main destination : the Moose Valley Lodge that became an institution over the years.
The Moose is in fact a central point from where we can make different loops on New Brunswick trails. Effectively, the dynamic Club de motoneigistes de la rivière Verte has developed many new trails in this area that allow snowmobilers to discover the wonders of the rivière Verte region. These loops are added to provincial trail # 17 that leads west to Edmundston or east to Kedgwick.
With the addition of trail 155 to its circuit, the Club de la rivière Verte then offers a second access to Québec trails. Effectively, trail 135 was already connecting to TQ 35 in the sector of Biencourt through a local trail.
“ Snowmobilers from the Province of Québec can now access a very pleasant loop. I live near Rimouski and I can ride towards the Club de motoneige Vallée de la Matapédia, take this new trail and halt at the Moose Valley Lodge. Then, I ride towards Biencourt and come back by TQ 35. It represents a nice ride of about 350 km ”, says Mr Denis Lavoie from Motoneiges.ca / SledMagazine.com .
The opening of this trail is to facilitate the traffic between both provinces and of course, for both clubs concerned, to increase their respective membership.
Team Motoneige.ca / SledMagazine.com congratulates these two clubs for their great initiative. Soon, you will be able to read here an article about this new trail.

I am a shadow on the rooftop,
I blend into the backdrop.
I am sent across the borders
With my rifle and my orders.
At the Company's insistence,
I drop my mark from a distance.
Then I return to my cover,
And hope my wife does not discover.
The secret life her husband leads,
She'd never understand his deeds.
But I'm not looking for salvation,
I do my job for this Nation.
Though I find in it no delight,
I chose to take up this fight,
To insure the safety of this land,
I hope God will understand.
That it is something I must do
To keep the world safe for you.
And so new orders now arrive,
Pray I make it home alive.
But in case this time I should die,
I will say one more good-bye.

Croatian girl wakes from coma, starts speaking fluent German
A teenager in Croatia has baffled doctors after she woke up from a coma and started speaking fluent German, instead of her native language.
The 13-year-old, who has not been named, only just started studying German at her school in Knin, southern Croatia but was by no means fluent, according to her family.
Doctors cannot explain the sudden shift. She has already been seen by specialists but no one has been able to explain what has happened. There has reportedly been a large degree of frustration on the part of the girl’s family as they can no longer communicate with each other.
Dr. Mijo Milas said: “In earlier times this would have been referred to as a miracle, we prefer to think that there must be a logical explanation – its just that we haven’t found it yet.”
The psychiatric expert also explained that there were cases described in literature of people who spoke ancient languages after waking up from states of unconsciousness.

A third ice flow has jammed up the Kicking Horse River near the municipal campground, flooding the riverbanks and street.
Ice that flowed down the river late last week collected at the dike near the Golden Municipal Campground, which is one of the more porous sections, explained town CAO Jon Wilsgard.
Excavators were on site early Friday morning to begin chipping away at the chunks of ice, and pumps were used to move the water downstream, where the ice flow has already carved out a path for water to lead into the Columbia River.
The end of 9th Street S. was closed off to traffic, and parking and buses for the Golden Secondary School were moved to the arena.
“We’ve already had two ice flows this winter,” explained Wilsgard. “The third ice flow, which came down the river a couple of days ago, has lodged, and it is composed of blocky ice and woody debris.”
It was hard for crews to tell how much water or ice was flowing past the point by the campground last week, but they were going to continue monitoring the situation, excavating, and pumping to help the water find its way through. Wilsgard hoped warmer temperatures would help the water pass through the blockage.
“What it does is it warms up a bit and the water can chew through the ice,” he said. “It’s nowhere near the top of the dike, it’s just seeping through it.”
Although ice is blocking the water from flowing upstream of downtown, the situation does not pose a threat to the river west of there, and should not affect downtown businesses or bridges, Wilsgard assured.
The street was still closed on Monday, and it could take a while longer before the water and ice has moved downstream and the street is cleared before it reopens.
It is not uncommon for ice to jam up in Golden during a cold winter. Earlier this winter, excavators were working near the bridge to remove ice and prevent flooding downtown, and two years ago, Ice jams nearly reached the underside of the bridge, which could have proved devastating to the town.

Main trends of wedding fashion 2018
Fashion, as we all know very well, never stands still – new trends and styles appear literally each new season.
So, as new trends appear, what seemed to be always relevant and modern yesterday, goes to the past today, giving way to a more vivid and extravagant one.
Such bold transformations and cardinal transformations are typical of the world of wedding dresses, as well. While our parents could not even imagine a beautiful bride other than in a snow-white long and puffy dress, modern women of fashion are amazed by the fact that such a traditional image is still being chosen by someone for the wedding celebration.
According to fashion world experts, this year the most vivid and unexpected solutions are most relevant for the wedding outfits. For example, a classic dress can be replaced with a wedding set – top and skirt. Such a bold and very original solution perfectly suits ladies who would like to show their guests their modernity, and also beneficially emphasize all the advantages of their figures. If at first such an idea may seem too cardinal and extravagant, then after trying on such an outfit, the girl will be convinced how much such a choice is original, and how advantageously such a wedding image looks.
World designers advise: do not get hung up on traditional white color. Even if you are not ready to appear among your guests in a fiery red or bright blue dress, do not immediately discard the idea of choosing some traditionally snow-white dress with bright inserts. This solution will not only express its originality, but also help to emphasize certain advantages of the figure, gently smoothing out any possible imperfections. A bride should just trust an experienced stylist, and the stylist will help the future bride to turn her complexes into a bragging right!
This season experts advise the bravest girls to try on black color. It gives the most dramatic contrast but is insanely attractive! Black silk dress will turn a girl into a seductive eye-catching beauty. And now imagine how effective a black wedding set will look like. A top and a skirt decorated with black lace and rhinestones simply can not leave any fashionista indifferent, if she is ready to embody all of her boldness and imagination in her wedding dress.

Would you change the oil in your car if you had a flat tire? Your washer is full of water, yes? Look towards the device that primary job is to get rid of that water, the drain pump. A WetVac is your best friend when you need to pump water out manually.
Unhook the drain pump and look for foreign objects, coins hair clips and such.
An intermittent tub seal leak? Unlikely. Does this machines neutral drain work? One likely cause would be the water whirl pooling over the edge if it started spinning right away. Also, if the basket was pushed forward (out of balanced load), we have seen much leakage because of the basket not lining the fill spout...
Once had a case where the machine would only leak intermittently. The drain was spliced into the same drain as the shower. So, it would back fill the machine went into drain, while someone was showering...
How fast was the cold water entering? Did it seem like it was stopping when voltage was removed from the valve?
If you own a dishwasher, I wouldn't recommend going tankless... Most dishwashers don't fill at a fast enough rate to trigger the heater. Then it fills with cold water. Filling dishwashers with cold water isn't recommended by most manufactures. Also, on some designs of dishwashers, it will lock you out if it takes too long for the water to reach the proper temp. The heating element helps, but isn't always good enough to get the water up to temp.
Also, we used Chimney cleaning rods (harder stiffer and bigger) attached between the drill and Lint Eater, with custom made connector, for the straight portion of the dryer run. The down fall, you can't go around any bends with them. Also, you risk breaking off the Lint Eater portion by pushing against a 90 degree turn...
Twas what I was afraid of. I like how you are forced into buying a spendy motor rather than just replacing a $10 pulley. Unbelievable. Rather the build quality of their product. The only thing worse than plastic is stryofoam. (I'm looking at you Samsung)
microwave bags and Keurig k-cups coffee for me... although when I get in a snobby mood I'll use a whirlypop for popcorn and a burr grinder and french press for coffee. My snobby moods have become less and less.... but even at my snobbiest I never roasted my own coffee..... too cool.
Freshly roasted coffee is like comparing a can of bud light to draft of locally brewed ale. Night and Day.
What I know to be true about Bosch Dishwashers: The average age is about 10 years old when we work on them. Compared to Frigidaire, Whirlpool, and the occasional Maytag, which are about 5-7 years old. The Samsungs and LGs tend to be 5 or less years old.
Just went out on a samsung sxs, had a huge surge at customers house. We checked the Inverter board and the control board... Control looked besides the blown fuse, and the inverter was shot. Replaced inverter and changed fuse on the control. Plugged back in, nothing. No power anywhere. Took the lower back panel and there was a filter board, blown out. Bypassed temporary, and got the fridge going.
So, check behind the lower panel too. These Samsungs have more PCB than the space shuttle!

A court docket in Ethiopia has sentenced greater than 30 individuals to lengthy jail phrases for belonging to an outlawed group.
All of the accused belong to Ginbot 7, a bunch dedicated to overthrowing the federal government.
The Ethiopian authorities designated it a terrorist group in 2011.
The transfer comes simply two weeks after the federal government introduced it will free some politicians who’ve been convicted or who’re dealing with varied prices in court docket.
Members of the Ginbot 7 group, based by an Ethiopian-born British citizen, will now serve sentences of between 15 and 18 years.
Dozens extra have been jailed by the courts over the previous weeks because of their affiliation with the group.
In the meantime, a number one opposition determine and his co-accused have been sentenced to 6 months in jail for contempt of court docket.
Bekele Gerba, an official of the Oromo Federalist Congress, was jailed after he protested towards the non-appearance of defence witnesses within the court docket attempting his case.
The choose was angered after he reportedly sang a protest track in court docket.
He’s amongst politicians who would have prices towards him dropped following the announcement by Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn, many Ethiopians consider.
Up till now, the federal government has not adopted up on its promise or issued a transparent timeline on when these politicians jailed can be let loose, experiences BBC Ethiopia correspondent Emmanuel Igunza within the capital, Addis Ababa.
Ethiopia has at all times denied that there have been any political prisoners within the nation, as alleged by human rights and opposition teams.
The nation has been hit by a wave of political unrest in recent times.
In December, social media customers staged a day of motion to recollect these held behind bars.

The group are regulating content related to pornography, terrorism, drugs, spam, phishing and copyright infringement.
A VPN is also an essential tool for writers, journalists, whistleblowers and anyone conducting online research, because it is a very real possibility that looking up the wrong thing online in Thailand will get you in trouble in the very near future.
So for the sake of a few dollars a month, it’s an essential investment.
And then there’s the wider issue that sites you visit are probably collecting your personal data for advertising purposes.
The worrying thing about being in Thailand is living in a condo block and sharing a network with many others, a network that is sub-contracted to an amateur web guy who sells on the services of True, 3BB and alike to folks like you.
I can see it now, expats and travellers paraded on Thai TV by police officials as online pirates attempting to use Thai web space illegally. It will be the guy that downloads a few movies or visits a couple of sites deemed “unsuitable” that gets made an example of . The authorities want to get past the political problems of the past few years, and part of that means making sure people don't share negative media or talk negatively about Thailand on social networking platforms and forums.

CARBOGEN AMCIS Announces a Successful Swissmedic Inspection of its Site in Vionnaz, Switzerland
BUBENDORF, Switzerland (February 16, 2018) — Switzerland-based CARBOGEN AMCIS AG, a pharmaceutical process development and Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) manufacturing company, announced today that its Vionnaz site has successfully completed a Swissmedic inspection.
Swissmedic conducted the inspection (general surveillance audits) over two days, on December 12-13, 2017 at CARBOGEN AMCIS’ Vionnaz site. The inspection covered the Quality System related to the development and manufacture of highly potent APIs, including Analytical and Quality Control. No significant concerns were discovered during the inspection, which will result in the renewal of the GMP-certificates for the site.
The high potency facility in Vionnaz is designed to operate at an occupational exposure limit (OEL) level down to 0.05μg/m3. CARBOGEN AMCIS acquired the facility in August 2014 to significantly increase the development and manufacturing capacity of highly potent APIs. This site has already demonstrated the capability to produce highly potent warheads and linkers, which can be transferred to our bio conjugation facility in Switzerland to create Antibody Drug conjugates (ADC) for cancer treatment therapy.
“This inspection follows the first audit by Swissmedic in 2016 for the cGMP certification after we acquired this site,” said Martin Schneider, Chief Quality Officer at CARBOGEN AMCIS. “This successful inspection underscores CARBOGEN AMICS’ track record of high quality development and manufacturing. Our other facilities in Switzerland also successfully passed a series of audits last year; FDA audit in October 2017 for the Bubendorf (Headquarters) and Swissmedic inspections for the sites in Bubendorf, Neuland and Aarau in July 2017. This proves our commitment to consistently fulfill the highest quality requirements for all of our sites”.
“I am proud of what the Vionnaz team has been able to achieve with support by our expert groups in Switzerland. Demonstrating to Swissmedic its capacity to meet all aspects of quality is a significant accomplishment,” said Mark Griffiths, CEO, Dishman Carbogen Amcis group. “This facility was acquired more than 3 years ago to extend our Antibody Drug Conjugate Services and increase the development and manufacturing capacity of highly potent APIs. I am delighted of this successful integration that meets the constantly growing demand of our customers.”

Amid mounting concerns over alarming pollution levels, the Supreme Court indicated on Tuesday that it may bar registration of diesel-run SUVs, cars with engine capacity of over 2,000 cc and commercial vehicles for three-four months, besides hiking by 100 per cent the green cess levied on trucks entering Delhi.
On October 12 the court had ordered that light duty vehicles would have to pay ₹700 and three-axle vehicles ₹1,300 to enter Delhi in addition to the toll tax from November 1 as ‘Environment Compensation Charge’ (ECC) in a bid to check pollution.
A bench headed by Chief Justice TS Thakur said that it may increase by 100 per cent the ECC on commercial vehicles using Delhi roads as a transit for their onward journey to destinations outside the national capital. Now, the light duty vehicles may have to pay ₹1,400 and three-axle vehicles ₹2,600 as ECC to enter Delhi.
The bench, also including Justices AK Sikri and R Banumathi, is likely to pronounce the interim directions on Wednesday as it ran out of time. During the three-hour-long hearing, the Bench asked the counsel representing the Centre and the Delhi government to come out with comprehensive long- and short-term plans to tackle the high air pollution levels in the city.
“Why don’t you people take credit for cleaning Delhi air? You could enumerate the steps to be taken and why you are asking the court to do it,” it said. The court said that as an interim measure, for three-four months, it may ban registration of SUVs and high-end cars having engine capacity of over 2,000 cc, besides banning entry of commercial vehicles registered prior to 2005 into Delhi.
Industry estimates indicate that about 1,000 SUVs of 2,000 cc or more are sold in Delhi NCR every month. It also said that only CNG cabs should run on Delhi roads and that a ban on burning of municipal waste had to be enforced strictly, besides calling for introduction of Euro-IV vehicle emission norms.
The Bench was hearing various pleas, including a 1984 PIL filed by environmentalist MC Mehta. On the issue of the Delhi government’s “odd—even” plan for private vehicles, the Bench said: “We cannot say anything on it. We are not too sure that this is the only way. This is one of the measures. It is for you (Delhi government ) to implement.”
The Chief Justice, however, observed that “he won’t hesitate” to car pool with “brother judges“.
The court also said that it would direct the apex court registry to provide a bicycle stand as desired by senior advocate KTS Tulsi.


Michigan Tech head coach Mike Sertich announced his retirement today, less than three years after he took over the struggling program in midseason.
“I’ve really enjoyed my time here,” said Sertich, “The people have been wonderful and the kids just absolutely fantastic. I feel like the program is on very solid ground and it’s an appropriate time for me to move on to the next stage in life.
“You know, my dad died when he was 61 and never got to retirement. I have a wonderful wife, three terrific children, and six grandchildren to enjoy. I’ll miss coaching, no question about it, but I feel in my heart that the timing is right.”
After Tim Watters was fired, the 56-year-old Sertich took over the Michigan Tech program on Nov. 8, 2000, nine games into the season on an interim basis. He had the interim title removed Jan. 19, 2001, and was signed to a five-year contract.
Michigan Tech made great strides under Sertich’s leadership. The Huskies finished the 2002-03 season with 17 points in the WCHA, the most since 1998-99. Sertich also led the club to double digits in wins for the first time since 1997-98. Furthermore, Tech had a 40-point scorer (Colin Murphy) for the first time since 1997-98 and freshman Chris Conner had 37 points, the most for a rookie at Michigan Tech since Pat Mikesch had 38 points in 1992-93.
“Mike’s goal when he came here was to create stability in the program and I believe he has done that,” said MTU athletics director Rick Yeo. “While I would prefer to have Mike remain for another year or two, I respect his decision and I’m confident the next coach will be inheriting a team with great potential. I wish Mike the very best in his retirement and thank him for the commitment he made to the Michigan Tech hockey program.”
Sertich concludes a 21-year head coaching career with a record of 375-397-53 overall, including a 25-69-9 mark at MTU with the rest coming at Minnesota-Duluth. He is a four-time WCHA Coach of the Year (1982-83, 1983-84, 1984-85, 1992-93) and was named the American Hockey Coaches Association Spenrose Penrose recipient as the NCAA Division I Coach of the Year in 1983-84 as he took UMD to the national finals.
A national search for a replacement is underway.
“We’ll move as quick as we can,” said Yeo, “but at the same time, we’ll take the time necessary to get the right person in place.”

At 78 years of age Jack had few golfers his age to golf with. His friend Marcus was 73 and about ready to hang up his cleats for good. Marcus could play nine holes and that was about it; the next day he’d be too rundown to play again. Jack insisted that Marcus start doing the strength training program Jack had been doing for years. Jack said, "Anybody can stick to one half hour a week. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain."
A year later Marcus was playing 18 holes of golf, and the next day, he would play 18 holes again. He was hitting the ball farther and enjoying golf again. Marcus had added quality years to his life, and it took just minutes a week.
Every time Marcus exercised he would do a little more. Each week he gave himself ample time to recover, and because of that each week he would improve. 52 weeks of continuing improvement add up.

MASON BATES Philharmonia Fantastique | DALLAS PREMIERE
ALUMNI PRIZEWINNER SOLOISTS OF THE SPHINX ORGANIZATION
Philharmonia Fantastique: The Making of the Orchestra is an animated film that flies through the instruments of the orchestra to explore the age-old connection of creativity and technology. Guided by a magical Sprite, we see violin strings vibrate, brass valves slice air and drum heads resonate.
Imaginatively blending traditional and modern animation styles, it is a kinetic and cutting edge guide to the orchestra. By the film’s end, the orchestra must overcome its tribal differences to demonstrate “unity from diversity” in a spectacular finale.


Yesterday, Universal Pictures announced that they had teamed up with Legendary Pictures for an Untitled “Event Project” that would hit theaters on November 4th, 2016. As daunting as it may be to guess what kind of movie that could be, Latino Review suggests that it may be a superhero film, featuring none other than Marvel’s Namor the Sub-Mariner.
While this news should be taken with the requisite grain of salt, after some careful consideration, a Namor film makes a great deal of sense. First and foremost, it’s the one Marvel character that Universal owns the rights to, and they will likely need to make an adaptation soon if they wish to retain those rights.
Secondly, the partnership with Legendary could be telling, considering that the studio was involved in several Warner Bros. comic book films (The Dark Knight trilogy, Superman Returns, 300, Watchmen, Jonah Hex, Green Lantern and Man of Steel) Legendary left their partnership with WB last year in order to strike a deal with Universal. Could they be jumping ship and taking a stab at a Marvel property?
If Namor does arrive in 2016, that could put the character’s big screen debut a year ahead of Aquaman’s potential inclusion in Justice League (which is currently rumored for 2017). Namor is the Marvel counterpart to DC’s Atlantean hero, so Universal could get the jump on DC by bringing their sea-bound superhero to the big screen first.
Of course, there are other possibilities for what Universal and Legendary have up their sleeves. Will Smith’s Brilliance is one, as well as Hot Wheels, the long-gestating Mass Effect movie, or any of the monsters in Universal’s back catalog. I suppose only time will tell, but Namor does seem like a pretty good possibility.
Tell us, what do you think of this rumor? Should Universal try their hand at a Namor movie, or would you rather see the rights revert back to Marvel Studios? Sound off in the comments below!
