Everything but the book
She already has two best-sellers under her belt. She has 100 percent name recognition, prohibitive political support in the polls — and more money than most ordinary people could ever dream of. So why does Hillary Clinton need another book, much less one that’s pre-sold a million copies and dominated news coverage even before its official release?
The answer: Her forthcoming book tour and the attendant multiplatform media blitz are about everything but the book and the bucks. To begin with, the rollout of “Hard Choices,” which officially begins Tuesday, presents a perfect way to gather priceless retail consumer data that can later be put to political use.
“She’ll have a very, very robust not just book website, but an entire digital strategy,” said Robert Gibbs, who eight years ago helped then-Sen. Barack Obama organize the book tour that morphed into his presidential campaign.
( Inside POLITICO: Book-touring politicians)
“They’ll use all these events she goes to acquire information that can later be purchased by some political entity – whether it’s her campaign, or a super-PAC, or both. These will be people who’ll be exhibiting a relatively fresh desire to see and hear more of Hillary. We always figured if someone was going to buy a book, we’d made about half the sale, in a political sense, if someone was going to stand on line and wait to get an autograph. Knowing who’s in that line, and where they live and how to cultivate them — my guess is they’ll do a lot of that.”
The blockbuster political book is nothing new. In 1948, Dwight D. Eisenhower, then being courted by both political parties, set the publishing world afire with “Crusade in Europe,” his memoir of World War II, for which he was paid the stunning advance of $635,000 (and allowed, by a special IRS ruling, to treat the income as a capital gain because he was not a professional writer, thus saving about $400,000 in taxes).
Nearly 20 years ago, Colin Powell released his memoir, “My American Journey,” with a first printing of 800,000 copies and a whirlwind trip that Time magazine called “the D-Day of author tours,” one that took him to 23 cities in 20 days, and included interviews with Barbara Walters, Larry King, Jay Leno and Tom Brokaw and a private preview with top editors and reporters at The New York Times. It was all a prelude to a prospective presidential campaign that struck fear in Bill Clinton’s White House, though Powell ultimately decided against running.
( Also on POLITICO: 10 key passages in Clinton’s memoir)
But Powell’s politics were a comparative mystery — he had recently retired as chairman of the joint chiefs of staff — while Hillary Clinton’s are already well known, and she herself is a grizzled veteran of the mega book tour with her first memoir, “Living History,” in 2003. Still, the release of her latest effort is being universally treated as big news (whether or not it really reveals anything more newsworthy than her confession that her Senate vote for the Iraq was wrong, “plain and simple”).
Personal appearances will drive book sales, which could eventually drive voter turnout, and Clinton has data resources available to her in the age of social media that Powell and his would-be backers could only dream of.
“They can really take advantage of all these new tools with her, because she has a huge social media following,” said Gretchen Crary, a veteran book publicist who now runs February Media, her own public relations and marketing firm. “Authors really should take a page from politicians’ playbooks, because you build an audience the same way you build a constituency: You have to go to these anemic coffee klatches where three people show up, and turn them into your ambassadors.”
( Also on POLITICO: Clinton’s Obama challenge)
Clinton’s house party days are well behind her, but Gibbs noted that as a sitting senator in 2006, Obama faced legal constraints on the gathering and use of sales data upon publication of “The Audacity of Hope,” limits that Clinton will not have to deal with. At the same time, he noted, the ability to collect and analyze such information has greatly improved, and the book — and attendant media interviews — will give Clinton a chance to articulate her potential platform for a 2016 race.
“She’s been a little out of practice because she was secretary of state,” Gibbs added, “in just letting people hear her economic vision for middle-class America. This will be the first time for people who haven’t been at one of her paid speeches have heard her make this kind of argument since she was a surrogate in late 2008.”
Clinton’s public relations machine — what the Republican strategist Kevin Madden calls “the Clinton-industrial news complex” — is pulling out all the stops. Television interviews with Diane Sawyer, Robin Roberts, Jane Pauley and even Greta Van Susteren and Bret Baier in the alien corn of Fox News. A sympathetic sneak peek in People, plus early excerpts obtained by CBS News and The New York Times. A leaked chapter on the Benghazi attack in POLITICO, and stops in every major media market, from a Costco in Arlington, Virginia, to Chicago, Austin and San Francisco.
The former first lady’s team is tight-lipped about its strategy for the rollout.
“We want the book to be judged on the writing itself,” Jonathan Karp, president and publisher of Simon & Schuster, said in an email. “As the editor, I can attest to the quality of the work.”
But even if the book is a guaranteed best-seller (the initial printing of 1 million copies has already sold out to retailers), some in Clinton’s circle nevertheless confess a certain anxiety about sales, if only because the book’s commercial performance will inevitably be viewed as yet another straw poll of Clinton’s political prospects.
In 2006, the former presidential candidate Gary Hart described “The Audacity of Hope” as Obama’s “thesis submission” for the presidency, even as the journalist Michael Tomasky complained in The New York Review of Books that the book did not contain “boldly innovative policy prescriptions that will lead the Democrats out of their wilderness.”
Clinton faces a comparable challenge, of writing compellingly about recent events — including controversial ones like the Benghazi attack — while keeping a firm eye on the political implications of every word. The candor and insight that make a great book almost surely conflict with the requirements of a successful presidential campaign. William Wordsworth described poetry as “emotion recollected in tranquility,” and it’s an open question whether Clinton’s book will be live or Memorex.
“A political memoir is going to achieve that kind of stratospheric fame and status if it acutely delivers something revelatory and something enduring — reflections that are going to speak not only to the specific situation in which the person was involved, but also across the ages,” said Louise Brockett, executive director of publicity at W.W. Norton & Co., who emphasized that she could not speak specifically about the merits of “Hard Choices” because she had not seen it, but regards Clinton as “brilliant, and terrifically talented, and I hope she goes for it.”
Presidential memoirs — even those published long after their authors have left the fray — have been notoriously disappointing. Only Ulysses S. Grant’s, written when he knew was dying, is considered a classic. Bill Clinton’s account of his early years in Arkansas is authentic and riveting, but his chronicle of the latter part of his eight years in office reads like a summary of his appointment books. Men as colorful as Harry S. Truman and Lyndon B. Johnson produced memoirs widely dismissed as bloodless, sanded down by ghostwriters or self-consciousness. Richard Nixon’s “R.N.” is self-serving, but also unintentionally self-revealing. George H.W. Bush was so uncomfortable with the first person pronoun that he never wrote a conventional memoir at all, but did issue a poignant and revelatory book of letters.
And the realities of modern politics mean that no politician will ever again have some of the priceless documentary resources — diaries and secret tape recordings — of the past. At a recent forum at the LBJ Library in Texas, Johnson biographer Doris Kearns Goodwin recounted how Johnson had struggled with his own memoir after leaving office.
Shortly after Nixon succeeded him in the White House, Johnson was visited by his and Nixon’s mutual friend Donald Kendall, the longtime chief executive of Pepsi. “He’s grumpy,” Goodwin recalled. “He’s saying, ‘How am I supposed to remember anything? The only chapters that are any good at all, I had these little tape machines. … Those chapters are coming out great. So you go back and tell your good friend Nixon as he starts his presidency, there’s nothing more important than a taping system.”

From School Library Journal
Grade 4-8–After illustrating The Nutcracker and the Mouse-King (Picture Book Studio, 1983; o.p.), Zwerger has taken on the challenge of creating a completely different set of images almost a quarter century later. She has succeeded admirably. This version features somewhat surreal, almost theatrically presented tableaux, delicately and darkly rendered in pen and ink and watercolor. Readers are far removed from the action–sometimes back in the nosebleed section, as opposed to the earlier edition, in which readers were right in the middle of everything. The 2004 Marie is a china doll of a girl, unlike the more realistically presented character of the past. This would be a hard version to share with a group, though Koppe's retelling is more accessible and detailed than the earlier title. This Nutcracker dramatically illustrates the growth and evolution of an important illustrator.–M. A.

Reviewed with Hans Christian Andersen's The Little Mermaid.
Gr. 3-5. Artist Zwerger expands her repertoire of beguilingly illustrated tales by two, both of which contain surprises for readers primarily familiar with popular film or stage versions. Mermaid reinstates the tragic ending and spiritual-mystical components abandoned by Disney; nutcracker, though condensed by adaptor Susanne Koppe, preserves the Mouse King's seven heads and devotes a good chunk of the narrative (as in Hoffman's original) to the story-within-a-story starring Princess Pirlipat. The hypnotic, even slightly chilly, sensibility that pervades Zwerger's work seems a more logical accompaniment to the poignant Mermaid than to nutcracker, whose spirited fantasy seems somehow dampened by the artist's penchant for quiet, dimly lit scenes and slightly arcane imagery. Zwerger first illustrated The Nutcracker and the Mouse King in 1979, but has created entirely new paintings this time around, which will compete for balletomanes' attention with Sendak's lengthier, more rambunctious 1981 treatment. These renditions of cherished stories will prove useful in the coming months, as the 200th anniversary of Andersen's birth approaches and as ballet companies commence their annual march to the Kingdom of Sweets.

Johannesburg - Former Springbok scrumhalf Joost van der Westhuizen was an inspiration and a tough customer to play against, his former team-mate Hennie le Roux said.
“Joost had such great character. His ability to inspire everyone around him, on and off the field, was truly amazing,” Le Roux told Sport24 on Monday afternoon.
Le Roux, who played centre for the Springboks during the 1995 Rugby World Cup, said the legendary scrumhalf set an example to everyone.
“He was a legend and gentleman of the game. He had everything that was required of a Springbok,” Le Roux said.
He said Van der Westhuizen was loyal and committed to his team.
Van der Westhuizen passed away at his home on Monday afternoon.
Van der Westhuizen was diagnosed as suffering from MND early in 2011. Despite fighting this debilitating disease, he was actively involved in charity work across South Africa and outside our borders for fellow sufferers up until his death.
Recalling their playing days for the Springboks, Le Roux described one of the tries Van der Westhuizen scored as one of his most remarkable memories.
“The fondest memory I have of Joost was the try he scored from a lineout move against England at Twickenham. It was brilliant,” Le Roux said.
Le Roux said he would always have massive respect for Joost and what he did for the sport.

Asavela Mngqithi is a South African female actor who is famously known as Ntwenhle at Isibaya. The actress just turned 24 on the 4th of June this year.
The 24-year old was at Durban, that is where she grew up and developed feelings for being on stage. Asavela is one of the celebrities who grew up at Lamont including the well known Babes wodumo. You can say Lamont is a good place when it comes to grooming because both Babes wodumo and Asavela Mngqithi are looking very good.
Many people did not know that Asavela is the daughter of famous Manqoba Mngqithi, yes the Mamelodi Sundowns head coach Manqoba Mngqithi. Asavela’s father Manqoba Mngqithi and Rulani Mokwena were recently announced by the Premier Soccer League champions Mamelodi Sundowns as their new joint head coaches, assisted by the former Lamontville Golden Arrows head coach Steve Komphela.
Ntwenhle’s role at Isibaya has been very interesting and she is still continuing to shine on and off the camera, check out her pictures:

Leadership in organizations can often be dark and destructive. Utilizing a so-called trait approach is particularly helpful in understanding destructive leaders. Such leaders share common personality traits, notably including narcissism, hubris and Machiavellianism.
Leadership is a phenomenon that has interested people for hundreds of years. One rather outdated explanatory approach still plays a prominent role in practice and the media in particular: The so-called Great Man Theory. In this blog we present what this theory is all about and why it is time to look for alternative approaches.
This CQ Dossier discusses the trait-based approach to leadership and reviews those personality traits that distinguish effective from ineffective leaders. The dossier also identifies key skills or competencies that are related to leader effectiveness and can be used by organizations for selection, promotion, and training.
The capability to lead and influence people is essential for success even beyond management. Professionals without a formal leadership role find themselves more and more often in situations where it is key to deliberately influence people, teams, divisions or the whole organization. Thus despite – or perhaps precisely because of its great relevance, leadership is often seen as something mystic. This impression is reinforced by a large number of popular business bestsellers about leadership, CEO biographies, and executive consultants who rely on individual experiences and anecdotal evidence when writing and talking about leadership. These sources generally provide only a limited informative value and therefore are of questionable use for the development of leaders and professionals.

At constantly increasing market competitiveness, to survive and succeed, any enterprise should be the most effective, flexible, timely and adequately respond to the changing external environment. This objectively requires each company to develop and find its own development path in accordance with market requirements.
Increasing the productivity and cost reduction, diversification of high quality products through introduction of modern technologies and improving work organization is the right strategy of development of a modern company.
Regarding the baking industry, the usage of multi-grain and flour baking mixes is very important on this path. Maria Chistova, Ph.D., an expert in
development of new products of Petersburg Mill Plant, will explain this.
Maria, for how long have baking mixes been on market of the baking and confectionery industry?
According to some data, baking mixes were widely used before the
World War II in the United States and Canada, in Europe in the 50s of the last century. In our
country, this field is only developing and most of the baking mixes presented on the Russian market are imported.
What is the purpose of baking mixes?
Today’s bakery industry is a dynamic and constantly evolving system. The concept of development of food and processing industry in Russia for the period till 2020 has formulated
an innovative type of development of the baking industry, which aims to improve and expand the range of products at lower unit costs of all types of resources. At that, the diversification is made by increasing products of functional and dietary purpose, with a high nutritional value and enriched with necessary and essential nutrients. Our country experiences a clear shortage of functional products today.
The dietary products should be produced in the amount of at least 1-1.5 million tons per year, while according to Rosstat, only 42-44 thousands tons are made today, that is extremely low. Moreover, different population groups need different products: for diet, child nutrition, prevention and treatment of various diseases, special products in environmentally disadvantaged areas. To solve these problems, baking mixes, containing natural vegetable raw materials are the best option, allowing making a wide range of baked goods in an accelerated manner, which is important for large bakeries, as well as small and medium-sized businesses. Properly selected components and their optimum ratio in selected food criteria in baking mixes allow effortlessly diversifying the product line and quickly bring cost-effective high-quality healthy products to the market.
What are the competitive advantages of PMP mixes?
Firstly, we offer mixes of our own production made from domestic raw materials, so their cost is significantly cheaper than imported analogs. Secondly, we can develop mixes in accordance with an individual order of a specific client, based the specificity of his production. Thirdly, PJSC Petersburg Mill Plant is a Russian production company, and therefore, the product embargo can affect it the least, the logistics system is simplified, no customs problems with deliveries as in case with imported mixes.
We produce a wide range of mixes based on cereals and groats, in the form of various types of cereals and legumes flour, with cereals, grain products, oilseeds and by-products.
At the moment, our specialists are developing a product line with products of processing fruits and vegetables:
various berries, potatoes, tomatoes, carrots, beets,
herbs - milk thistle, amaranth seeds and other ingredients.
Our mixes allow making tasty and healthy products with high nutritional value with the content of dietary fiber omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins and minerals.
How can baking companies be confident in the high quality of your products?
The international quality standard FSSC 22000 certificate confirms that.
What are the latest products in the line of PMP baking mixes? What are their characteristics?
From among the latest products developed by our experts, I would like to mention the so-called anti-crisis mixes product line. In modern economic conditions of growing prices for raw materials, when companies are forced to cut costs, the use of such mixes is very profitable. At their attractive prices, we have preserved advantages inherent in all our products. The result is a range of functional baked goods with a high nutritional value, providing a beneficial effect on health.
Due to the excellent rheological properties of our semi-finished products, there are no difficulties at setting up the equipment, cutting and forming stage in the production process, that allows making bread and baked goods according to one-phase accelerated method.
In the anti-crisis mixes segment, we present now:
Fitnergy mix, based on groats, flakes and bran, for making the original oat bread with a fine pore structure and tender crumb.
Greynmix mix allows making multigrain bread with an airy structure and lots of pumpkin, sunflower, flax seeds and other components.
Corn mix with various corn processing products. The baked from this mix bread has a silky soft crumb sweet taste and a pleasant smell.
Sunflex mix with oilseeds, oat and corn flakes and other ingredients. It is used for baking light porous bread with seeds and cereals.
Your company is called Petersburg Mill Plant. But your area of sales of baking mixes must not be limited to the Northern capital?
In Russia, geography of sales of Petersburg Mill Plant stretches from Kaliningrad to
Vladivostok; outside the Russian Federation, our products, including multi-grain flour and baking mixes, are presented in the CIS countries, the Baltic States, China, the UAE, South Korea and Israel.
Wherever our potential customer geographically is, they can send a request to our address and order the PMP baking mixes. We will provide samples for test baking and technological support at the stage of introducing mixes into production, if necessary.
We can also offer normative and technical documentation for finished baked goods. Feel free to contact our specialists!

Recent years have seen rapid advancements in the functions and capabilities of artificial intelligence (AI). With this has come a suite of associated risks, particularly those concerning privacy, health and safety and potential intrusion into human rights. The question for governments, regulators and policy makers is how to regulate the risks associated with AI, without stifling innovation and the potentially significant societal benefits that come with AI. As with any emerging technology, it can be difficult to strike this balance. The European Union Commission has taken an important first step in the release of its long-awaited proposal for harmonised regulation of AI in the EU (the EU Proposal). The EU Proposal, released on 21 April 2021 proposes a risk-assessment approach to the regulation of AI and follows several years of public consultation, reports and papers released by the Commission. While it could be several years before the regulations proposed by the Commission become law in the EU, the EU Proposal nevertheless serves as a compelling benchmark for proposed AI regulation around the world.
AI regulation proposed by the Commission
The EU Proposal essentially regulates the way in which AI may be put to the market and used in the EU. It proposes classifying AI systems according to the level of risk posed, ranging from "minimal risk' through to "high risk" and "unacceptable risk". (This would be in addition to the existing restrictions for automated decision-making and profiling contained in the EU General Data Protection Regulation.)
Notably, the EU Proposal prohibits some AI practices which are considered to be particularly harmful, such as:
- any AI system which "deploys subliminal techniques beyond a person's consciousness in order to materially distort a person's behaviour" and which could result in harm;
- AI systems which exploit vulnerabilities of a particular group of people; or
- "real time" biometric identification systems for public use in law enforcement, unless a specified exception applies (eg. if it is used to identify a specified victim of crime).
The EU Proposal also identifies "high risk" AI practices which must comply with a suite of new requirements. Examples of "high risk" AI practices include those which are intended to be used:
- as safety components in the "management and operation of road traffic and the supply of water, gas, heating and electricity";
- for the purposes of assessing students for admission into, and assessment within educational institutions; or
- for the purposes of recruitment, or for making decisions on the promotion of employees and the termination of employment.
New requirements which "high risk" AI practices must comply with include that a risk management system be established and implemented, that the systems be developed with capabilities relating to the automatic recording of events, that the systems be sufficiently transparent, and that the systems be capable of achieving the required level of "accuracy, robustness and cybersecurity". These requirements are additional to the obligations of providers and users of high-risk AI systems.
The EU Proposal also introduces specific rules for AI systems which are intended to interact with people, including requirements that people be notified when they are interacting with an AI system.
Those who fail to comply with the EU Proposal may be liable to pay potentially substantial administrative fines, depending on the nature of the contravention. For non-compliance with the prohibition on certain AI practices or non-compliance of AI systems with requirements relating to data and data governance for high risk AI systems, administrative fines may be up to €30,000,000 or, if the offender is a company, up to 6% of its total worldwide annual turnover for the preceding financial year.
Setting the standard
This is not the first time the Commission has led the way on technological regulation. When the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) commenced in 2018, it swiftly became lauded as the international gold standard for privacy and data protection law. Whether the EU Proposal will have a similar effect will likely depend upon a number of unpredictable factors, chief among which is the US Congress' willingness to implement similar reforms.
As with the GDPR, the EU Proposal also contemplates extra-territorial application. In its current formulation, the EU Proposal would directly affect Australian businesses that "place [AI systems] on the market" in the EU, or which use the "output produced by those systems" in the EU.
Impact on Australian AI regulation
Currently, there is no Australian legislation which specifically regulates AI; its use may, depending on the circumstances, be regulated by a patchwork of various laws. For example, businesses bound by the Privacy Act that collect personal information to operate facial recognition software would be required to handle that personal information in accordance with the Australian Privacy Principles.
In the case of administrative decisions made by public bodies, there are dozens of individual pieces of legislation which permit this to occur by, or with the assistance of AI in certain circumstances. For example, section 126H of the Customs Act 1901 (Cth) permits computers to decide whether to permit an individual through immigration automatically, or to flag the individual for further manual review. Australian courts have recognised, however, that administrative decisions are not legally binding unless made by a human being who reaches a decision "after a mental process and [outwardly expresses] the decision to reflect that conclusion" (Pintarich v Deputy Commissioner of Taxation  FCAFC 79).
Only time will tell whether the EU Proposal will trigger a change in the regulation of AI internationally, including in Australia, which is presently contemplating the most effective way of regulating AI. Last year, the Australian Government published a discussion paper calling for submissions in relation to its "AI Action Plan", which seeks to "coordinate government policy and national capability under a clear, common vision for AI in Australia". As with the EU Proposal, this AI Action Plan hinges around an ethical framework which contemplates the values to which organisations should have regard in designing AI software.
However, unlike the EU Proposal, which was developed by reference to the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, the Australian Action plan contemplates a strictly "voluntary" and "aspirational" ethical guideline.
It is difficult to predict exactly how the EU Proposal may ultimately affect Australian businesses. However, its potentially significant impacts on the future direction of Australian AI regulation – and consequently, the future direction of the development and distribution of AI in Australia – means it should not be ignored.

Recently, a lot of attention has been directed at just how devastating sugar can be for our health and wellbeing, and more people have started paying attention to how much sugar they are allowing in their own diets. Following weight loss surgery, many people make the choice to avoid sugar entirely to make sure they are maximizing their intake of healthier nutrients.
If you want to lose weight and improve your health, then cutting out sugar makes sense. Here are a few troubling facts that make reducing sugar consumption in the American diet so important:
- According to a statement from the American Heart Association, high sugar intake is linked to increased risk of high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, obesity and other factors that increase the risk of heart disease and stroke. The few available studies that attempt to discredit the link between sugary beverage consumption and health consequences have been primarily funded by the beverage industry.
- The average American adult consumes about 22 teaspoons of sugar every day, which amounts to about 355 calories that are completely devoid of nutritional value. Though this comes from the usual suspects like table syrup and honey, the prevalence of food and drink processed with high fructose corn syrup has also been a major contributor.
- According to the USDA’s Economic Research service, average daily calorie intake has increased by about 425 since 1970, with between 16 and 17 percent of calories coming from added sugar. Though sugar consumption has gone down 40 percent since the 70’s, increased consumption of high fructose corn syrup has more than made up for the reduction.
- Weight gain caused by sugar consumption can lead to increased accumulation of fat in the liver, which lowers your body’s ability to control blood sugar and forces your liver and pancreas to work harder. High amounts of fructose in the liver (which come from sugar and high fructose corn syrup) can cause complex biochemical reactions that lead to serious health concerns.
Though companies and advocacy groups with a vested interest in reducing the demonization of sugar make attempts to convince Americans of its minimal impact, the research is straightforward.
Recent studies showed a direct link between excessive intake of sugary food items and high blood pressure, while further study revealed that a reduction of that consumption resulted in a reduction of blood pressure. New studies are released that consistently reinforce the idea that the levels at which we consume sugar make the stuff toxic.

Review from Scott Rountree 03/13/2016
Great versatile rifle for 300 BlackoutIf you shoot multiple types of rounds, or if you shoot suppressed this rifle is for you. Sig finally got the piston and adjustment right. I’ve owned several Sig rifles… from the old 556 platform, to 516s and 716s. All of them were great except for the piston being so heave up front. This thing, even while piston driven is lightweight and a solid performer.
When shooting 220gr subsonic rounds with my Yankee Hill Phantom suppressor it shot just as well as basic 120-150gr supersonic rounds. One click of the piston and it was ready to go.
Not that bad

The Obama administration announced Jan. 8 it is extending the International Space Station until at least 2024.
The extension will allow NASA to continue working on several projects already in the works, including research activities on the ISS in support of long-duration human missions, beyond low-orbit Earth. According to a blog on the Office of Science and Technology Policy’s website, research done on the ISS is critical to test the spacecraft systems and technologies necessary for safe deep-space missions.
“The Obama administration’s decision to extend its life until at least 2024 will allow us to maximize its potential, deliver critical benefits to our Nation and the world, and maintain American leadership in space,” John Holdren, director of OSTP, and NASA Administrator Charles Bolden, said in the post.
Research performed on the ISS has already proved its benefits. Several medical discoveries have been made, including potential vaccines for Salmonella and antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria, as well as techniques for protecting healthy human cells when delivering cancer treatment drugs to tumors.
In addition, there has been advancement of robotic surgical techniques on the ISS, which in turn has created the possibility of removing tumors once considered inoperable.
Bolden and Holdren are optimistic current ISS partners will join the extension effort. Two U.S. companies are already under contract to resupply the ISS. Furthermore, the extension allows for more flights to be added to the ISS cargo service contract, which Holdren and Bolden said will result in increased competitiveness, more private sector bidders and ultimately, more U.S. commercial satellite launches.
Global leadership in space research is both an incentive and benefit of continuing the ISS 10 more years, according to the two leaders.
“With a partnership that includes 15 nations and with 68 nations currently using the ISS in one way or another, this unique orbiting laboratory is a clear demonstration of the benefits to humankind that can be achieved through peaceful global cooperation,” Bolden and Holdren said. “ It is important to keep this partnership intact, with America as its leader.”
The Obama administration is also hopeful a launch to the ISS from U.S. soil will come to fruition soon; the first commercial crew flight is scheduled for 2017. The extended commitment to ISS involves a “concomitant increased number of flights” will drive down the per-flight costs and in turn make this investment more attractive to interested parties.

When I started reading this book, I had no idea what to expect. With a title like that, and a cover that looks like the world is on fire, and almost all the praise and reviews using the word “gritty”. (“Gritty” means gross, right? Yes. And other things.) But the thing is, once I got into this book I was engrossed by the character’s struggle with himself and with everyone else he comes across, and I was in awe of the author’s skill at creating such an unpleasant, angry, abrasive character who I felt nothing but sympathy for. I wanted him to be saved. I wanted to save him.
The story starts with Johnny awaiting trial for his most recent misdeed. As the narrator of his own story he is angry at the world and and where he has found himself in it. He tells us about what’s been going on in his life, now as well as in the past. But as messed up as Johnny is (and he is really messed up), it starts to become clear to the reader that he could be even more messed up. Just don’t ask him about books…
Books? Fucken hell, Johnny ripped through thousands. Anything you needs to know about proper chain tension, fucken vapour barriers, Lee Harvey Oswald, where to eat in Manhattan. All kinds of knowledge and info logged away in the old noggin, hey Johnny. Useless, the lot of it. None of it changes nothing. None of it mends nothing. You can scour every bookshelf on the planet and you won’t come up with not one fucken phrase that chnages where you comes from or what youve been up to, been through, who you fucken are… But no, it all keeps bubbling back up, stuff that went on twenty-odd years ago, ten years, last fucken week. Old scars and open wounds. Everything always spinning in the head, bullying you to the brink of madness, stuff you cant do one fucken thing to change. It’s still there, all of it, always. And wretched fucken woe to the weak, flimsy, brittle motherfucker who wants to take a hard look at it, sort it out somehow, talk about it.
After the trial (in which Johnny gets off for reasons I won’t divulge here), he sets off on a dubious but honorable mission across the country; during which his capacity for bad luck and unfortunate circumstances are emphasized. There’s blood, drugs, uncomfortable situations, fire ants, sunburns, an accident with a moose, a run-in with his biological father, a fight with some teenage girls, and a lot of walking. During this time, our Johnny has a lot of time to think and to spout off at the world, and to try to figure out where he’s going in life. Will he be able to pull himself together to overcome all the stuff life has thrown at him, or will he just become another unknown, troublesome, invisible guy?
I don’t know b’ys and girls. I do not know.
… Johnny looks at the crooked fork on the table and wonders at how softly and quickly we’re all here on this small ball of spinning dirt, and how some of us all has it fall from the sky the moment they comes into existence and how the rest of us are sitting here, hands gripped to the lip of this greasy edge, waiting for the bottom to rise up to meet us.
Cause that’s what we are, all of us, humans. Even Johnny.
I loved Johnny. I’m glad the Giller jury decided to give him a chance.
A favourite line…
But here, Johnny’s smart enough to know that he dont know everything. But he wasnt always, smart enough to know. And it’s one thing knowing nothing, but it’s another thing altogether when you dont know that you dont know nothing.
Warning: a lot profanity and some graphic scenes
Also a finalist for the Governor General’s Literary Awards
Review at Buried in Print: “He presents a jailbird’s heart to readers and dares them to peek inside.”
Review at the Globe & Mail: “The book’s big question is whether a brutal childhood can be undone. Johnny is an artful dodger, but he can’t flee his memories.”
Review at the Quill & Quire: “”You come into the world freezing and fucked and alone and why should any of us expect to go out any different?” In many ways, We’ll All Be Burnt in Our Beds Some Night is an attempt to answer that question.”
“Cast No Shadow” movie trailer: Nominated for 4 Canadian screen awards in 2015 at the Atlantic Film Festival. Based on “Say Nothing Saw Wood”, a book by Joel Thomas Hynes. Hynes is also one of the actors (as is his son) and the director of the movie.

Interesting that the Yen saw only minimal inbound traffic on Wednesday’s equity sell-off and today is still little changed with a stock rally! Admittedly, volumes are a shadow of what they used to be some years back, but just demonstrates how the game has changed. There is still plenty of money sitting on the side lines and happy to step back in without the need to protect themselves. The Nikkei eventually closed over 300 points higher a gain of 1.5% on the day. Late in the trading day we heard the positive tax reform news from the states and saw Yen trade back above 113 and looks like the game is back-on. Asian futures also following the US incentive and last saw the Nikkei add an addition 0.5% on to today’s gains. Shanghai was almost unchanged while the Hang Seng saw a +0.6% gain. SENSEX ended a very strong day over 1% gain and closing at the days highs.
Europe opened good footing but never really managed to build much upon that. Yes, the CAC and DAX closed by around +0.5% but having spent most of the afternoon watching the US indices, it is a surprise they did not gain much more. That is – if you ignore underlying currency concerns. Having had US tax reform bill passed you have to watch the market predict in the treasury curve. We saw even more curve flattening all be it at higher absolute yields. If this is not a green light for US Dollar strength – what is!
US core opened strong and continued as the demand increased as the day wore on. Today’s corporate releases were better than expected and even saw Wal-Mart pop over 10% to an all time high. The question many are asking is when will long end yields start to move! Lots of talk for additional hikes next year and we only need three to put the curve inverted; while some are even looking for four hikes. Today’s data and claims really did nothing to halt the stock rally and so we look towards currency markets for tomorrows end of week numbers. Nasdaq made fresh all time highs with a gain of over 1.3% with the broader Russell 2K advancing 1.6% on the day.

DEFENDING champions Ansar Sporting Club were stunned in their opening match of the JSW-NDFA Elite Division League Tournament at Bharat Ratna Dr BR Ambedkar Football Stadium in Suyog Nagar on Tuesday.
Six-time champions Young Muslim Football Club (YMFC), who were the runners-up last season, pipped Ansar Sporting by a solitary goal to start their campaign with three valuable points. The all important goal came as early as the third minute of play off a spot kick.
Making early inroads, YMFC moved towards Ansar goalline and Mohd Azim took the first strike on the post. Ansar goalkeeper Mohd Shoeb failed to collect the ball neatly and it bounced back on the ground. In an attempt to get hold of the ball, the keeper made a dangerous tackle in front of the post forcing referee Christopher Peter to award a penalty kick to YMFC. Muzammil Khan made no mistake in slotting the ball home to give his side a much-needed lead.
YMFC would have won by a much bigger margin had they not wasted half a dozen chances while Ansar too had their opportunities to level the score and take lead but fumbled at crucial junctures.
Nayan Kanojiya and Mohd Uzaif of YMFC and Mohammad Shoeb and Mohammad Hasan of Ansar were cautioned.
Wednesday’s fixture: Rahul Sankryutyayan SA vs Nagpur Academy at 2.30 pm.

Profit possible on Olympics, says NBC Sports head Lazarus
NBC has gone from expecting to lose $200 million on the Summer Olympics in London to perhaps breaking even to maybe making a profit on the Games.
“We think there is a small chance we could make a little bit of money,” NBC Sports Chairman Mark Lazarus said Thursday. “We’ll know over next couple of weeks.”
That would be a stunning turnaround for NBC and its parent company Comcast, both of which have been warning investors and analysts for almost two years that the London Games would likely end in red ink.
With the ratings for the Games outperforming even the most optimistic expectations, NBC does not have to worry about providing additional commercials to advertisers if it under-delivers on viewers. Commercials being sold since the Games started are going for as much as $850,000 per 30-second spot -- substantially more than NBC was getting for ads prior to the start of the Games.
NBC’s possible profits will do little to appease critics of the network’s coverage of the Games. While all the events are being streamed live on the Internet, many would prefer NBC broadcast live on TV as well, instead of holding high-profile competitions for prime time, when the results of events may already be hours old. The network does that because that is when the biggest audience is available and advertisers are paying the highest rates.
NBC’s Lazarus defended the network’s coverage.
“Everyone’s got the right to have their point of view,” Lazarus said of those criticizing how NBC is presenting the Olympics on TV and on the Web. However, “it is a very loud minority and a silent majority has been with us for six days.”
Lazarus added that the tape delay also allows the network to build out the events with background on the athletes, which can attract more than just a hard-core fan.
“The Olympics are so much more than a sporting event,” he said, adding that the proof is in the size of the audience, which is well over 30 million a night and outperforming the 2008 Beijing Games by about 15%.
With regards to its streaming efforts, Alan Wurtzel, NBC’s head of research, said 64 million video streams have been delivered, a 182% increase over Beijing.
The Olympics, Wurtzel said, are an “opportunity for us to see the future of media.”
The majority of online viewership comes from computers. Wurtzel said about 60% of the streaming has been from computers and the rest has been mobile and tablet devices. The Games are also creating new users. Wurtzel said 75% of those watching live streaming on tablets are doing so for the first time. For mobile phones, that number is 86%.

Esther had joined the Espérance Club at the age of 2 in the mid 90s and worked with the Pethick-Lawrences her life long. On her death in 1974 the papers passed into the hands of her niece Nita Needham who passed them to Lucy Neal in 1993.

Real Madrid to clinch amazing £161m World Record Transfer Within 24 Hours
Real Madrid are set to sign rising star Kylian Mbappe, as they lead the race over Manchester City. The 18-year-old striker made a name for himself last year, securing Monaco’s Ligue 1 title, during his breakout season, netting 26 goals in 44 appearances.
Los Blancos are believed to close Mbappe for £161m, which would topple the world transfer record. The club are looking to continue their reign after winning the double last season, clinching the Spanish league title, and securing back-to-back Champions League titles for the first-time ever.

However, City are not letting up in their pursuit, despite not making an official offer for the French international. Pep Guardiola refuses to rule out a move, stating to Sky Sports “anything can happen.” The Citizens could make a whopping £143m bid for the Monaco striker.
This could create a bidding war between the Spanish and English clubs, allowing Monaco to get their record transfer fee.
If City fail to capture Mbappe, Pep will put his efforts back to signing Alexis Sánchez. The Chilean international is reported to be losing patience at Arsenal, and expressed interest in making a move away from the Emirates.
Betting on the premier league is as easy when you know the key players in the summer transfer window.

The charger will be able to provide support for charging on various voltages. The charging will be able to support charging over thresholds of 5v 2.5A, 9V 2A, 12V 1.5A and a maximum wattage of 18 watts. It is still not clear though if it will come equipped for Qualcomm’s Quick Charge 3.0.
Very recently, the Chinese manufacturer revealed a series of laptops; these were revealed under the name Mi Notebook Air. The laptop is very similar in feel as well as looks to Apple’s MacBook Air.
The only difference between the two seems to be that in spite of Xiaomi’s new Mi Notebook Air having the MacBook-like premium aluminum construction and internal features, it was priced significantly lower.
Xiaomi Mi Note 2 is the only true flagship device that we expect Xiaomi to introduce before the end of this year. The company’s exec did confirm that the company is indeed planning to release a new flagship device in August. So fans won’t have to wait for long.
The company is trying to come up with a smartphone that can give Samsung’s Galaxy Note 7 a real run for its money. Stay tuned for more news and updates.

|Title:||Microstructure determination of styrene-acrylonitrile copolymers by 13C NMR spectroscopy|
|Authors:||Brar, A S|
Kapur, G S
|Abstract:||Styrene-acrylonitrile (S-A) copolymers having different proportions of the monomers have been bulk copolymerised at 70°C,using benzoyl peroxide as the initiator. The reactivity ratios have been calculated using the Kelen-Tudos method. A detailed study of the microstructure of the copolymers has been carried out using 13C NMR spectroscopy. The experimental styrene-and acrylonitrile-centered triad sequence distributions have been determined by using aromatic (C1) carbon and nitrile (- CN) carbon resonances, respectively. These results are found to be in good agreement with those calculated theoretically using reactivity ratios1 [Harwood H J, J polym Sci, 25 (1968) 37].|

June Apple, Part 1: The A Part and the “Nashville Shuffle”
In this lesson, Chad teaches you the popular old-time tune "June Apple," which is in the key of A Mixolydian. Mixolydian means that the seventh in the major scale (in this case, G#) is lowered a half step (to G). In the first part of the lesson, Chad teaches the A part of "June Apple" phrase by phrase and also shows you the "Nashville shuffle" bowing pattern, which works well on the A part of this tune.

Publisher: Penguin UK - Michael Joseph
11-year-old Rose Franklyn was cycling near her house on her eleventh birthday when the ground disappeared beneath her. When she came to, she was in a deep pit, lying in the palm of a giant metallic hand.
Seventeen years later, Dr Franklyn is leading a top-secret scientific investigation into the bizarre artefact she had unwittingly discovered all those years ago. It is clear to Rose and her team that the hand is not only ancient but almost certainly not of this world. A search begins for the rest of this vast creation, perhaps the most perplexing puzzle humanity has ever faced.The first thing you encounter in this novel is young Rose Franklyn, who, in many ways, stays at the very heart of the novel. She falls into the open palm of a giant metallic hand one day and it forever changes her life, although she doesn't suspect so for another seventeen years. Truly there is nothing more I could say about the plot of the book without ruining some of the novel's suspense. Sleeping Giants is Mystery Sci-Fi at its very best, constantly keeping the reader on their toes and masterfully combining the world we know with the seemingly absurd. Science Fiction often stumbles over the first word of its name, either too focused on making the science work or not caring at all if it works because, hey, it's fiction and no one will care. The science in Science Fiction matters though because it is what allows a novel's plot to transcend the ordinary world. Sleeping Giants finds a great balance between showcasing its science and being fiction by having scientists and exploration at the heart of its plot. Figuring out what the mysterious hand is for both requires science and makes it fun.
The way Sleeping Giants is written is one of its main strengths, aside from its great plot. Neuvel experiments with fiction, with how one can write a linear and chronological story, and it is beautiful. What we get to read are interview transcripts of the characters, their journals, their work reports, etc., which allows Neuvel to change not only how a reader normally discovers the plot but also how a reader gets to know characters. We are hardly ever 'in the moment' with the characters but find out about things afterwards, moving between characters, mediums, countries and events at a rapid pace. And oh does it work! As a reader you are always on edge, always desperate to know more. Reading Sleeping Giants really is something else. Although arguably there is a whole host of main characters, the true narrator and protagonist is a shadowy man, working from the peripheries of the novel to make it all happen. He is fascinating and he is a mystery to seemingly everyone. Neuvel, however, manages to make a character without a name and apparently without a background one of the best characters in the book. It's hard to explain exactly how well Neuvel's approach to storytelling works because
Neuvel's writing throughout the novel is great. Switching between different characters and different mediums of writing (interviews, reports, etc.) could lead to everything and everyone sounding exactly the same and yet each character feels like an individual. Also, I couldn't help but absolutely love the variety of female characters in this novel. They are great! Neuvel makes you care for them and it is the first time in a long time that a Sci-Fi novel genuinely made me wish for the stars. The ending of Sleeping Giants is a twists readers won't see coming, a final little push to show exactly how creative Neuvel is with his story. I only just found out that Sleeping Giants is actually the first book in a series, the Themis Files, the second of which comes out in 2017. Even without knowing there is a sequel the ending is brilliant, but now Neuvel has left the reader hanging off the proverbial cliff in a great way. Sleeping Giants is a whole story, in the sense that it doesn't feel as if anything has been left out in order to make the reader read the next book, and can be read on its own. You'll probably be as desperate for the sequel as me though, after reading it.
I give this book...
Reading Sleeping Giants is an experience which I wouldn't trade for anything. Neuvel's novel not only successfully experiments with how to tell a story, it also tells one hell of a story. I will not only be rereading Sleeping Giants, I will also be counting down the minutes to the sequel. I'd recommend this to fans of Sci-Fi, Mystery and experimental writing.


A Meizu with a Qualcomm processor
Until now all the mobiles that Meizu had launched on the market were smartphones with a MediaTek or Samsung Exynos processor. It had not released any smartphone with a Qualcomm processor. This made many users consider Meizu mobiles as smartphones that were not of high quality. In fact, the truth is that MediaTek processors have defects with GPS, or with Bluetooth audio. So, in reality, while it is true that the Meizu with a MediaTek processor could be high-end phones, they are not smartphones of the quality of a high-end mobile with a Qualcomm processor.
However, Meizu could launch a new smartphone with a Qualcomm processor this year. It would arrive before the end of 2017 and would have a price similar to that of the Meizu Pro 7 Plus, so the price would be about 600 euros.
So, Meizu may be launching its own OnePlus 5, a high-end smartphone, with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor, but with a cheaper price than that of the high-end mobiles on the market. Although the truth is that there are already several smartphones like this. In fact, the OnePlus 5, the Xiaomi Mi 6, and the Nokia 8 that would be launched on August 26, are mobile with a similar price. In fact, the Nokia 8 would have a price of about 600 euros, but the OnePlus 5 has a price of 500 euros. And the Xiaomi Mi 6 has a price of about 400 euros.
Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 or Qualcomm Snapdragon 836
It could also be a Meizu with a processor Qualcomm Snapdragon 660. It is one of the best Qualcomm processors, and Meizu could launch an upper-middle-range mobile. Of course, in reality, a mobile with a price of 600 euros and with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 processor, is a mobile with a fairly high price.
You could even have the new processor Qualcomm Snapdragon 836. It would be the new high-end processor that Qualcomm would launch already in August or September, since the Google Pixel 2 would have the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 836.
In any case, the Meizu Pro 7 and the Meizu Pro 7 Plus They have been introduced recently, and the new Meizu with a Qualcomm processor would arrive later this year, so it will most likely launch in October or November.

Keith Urban on the red carpet at the 2018 MusiCares Person Of The Year held at Radio City Music Hall in New York. This year the event was honoring Fleetwood Mac with their special Person(s) of the Year Award - New York, New York, United States - Saturday 27th January 2018
The 'America's Got Talent' judges posed on the red carpet at an aftershow event held at Radio City Music Hall in New York and were joined by 12-year-old contestant Quintavious Johnson.
Spotted at an 'America's Got Talent' post show event which took place at Radio City Music Hall in New York were the show's judges Howie Mandel, Heidi Klum and Mel B, as well as E News correspondent Alicia Quarles who turned heads on the red carpet with an aqua-coloured snakeskin-effect playsuit.
Following the final round of the quarter-finals for the ninth season of America's Got Talent, the judges were pictured on the red carpet. Howie Mandel was photographed first, before a surprise 'photo-bomb' by last year's runner up, comedian Taylor Williamson. Williamson became judges Mandel and Howard Stern's favourite act, although he was unable to win the competition.
Following this, Heidi Klum was captured, also with Williamson and the pair adopted an 'air kiss' pose together. Finally, Mel B. - also known as Scary Spice - was seen posing on the red carpet. Williamson was absent from her pictures, however, possibly due to her nick-name from her Spice Girls days. The event took place at Radio City Music Hall in New York City.

Zinc Media has acquired a corporate video producer, marking the first acquisition it has made since its new brand came into play last month.
Zinc was established as the new corporate brand of UK-based Ten Alps, housing British indie TV producers Blakeway, Brook Lapping, Films of Record and Reef Television (Ten Alps also has a 12% stake in Chrysalis Vision).
It has now bought Straker Films, a deal that punctuates a strategy to become a key player in the corporate storytelling market.
“Zinc Media has already broadened its range of television production through the acquisition of Reef TV and its investment in Chrysalis Vision,” said Zinc CEO Mark Wood.
“The acquisition of Straker Films gives Zinc Media a significant and credible footprint in the corporate video and story-telling market and we look forward to developing our business in this high growth market.”
Ten Alps recapitalised last June after an uncertain period wrestling with a debt pile, with founder Bob Geldof exiting the business in the process.
“This restructuring puts us in a perfect position for a hugely exciting media future,” singer Geldof said at the time.

Liverpool star Thiago has reportedly suffered a muscle injury just days after returning from a 10-month absence. The midfielder is claimed to have picked up the fresh problem in the final moments of the Reds’ Premier League defeat against Arsenal.
Thiago played the final five minutes against the Gunners, his first appearance of the season. The Brazilian is said to have ‘felt’ an issue in a muscle and could be sidelined again, according to the Mirror.
It is unclear how long the experienced ace is set to miss with the injury. He had only just returned to full training after undergoing hip surgery last May.
Thiago had missed eight top-flight games between February and April before playing his final game of the 2022-23 term on April 30. He underwent a ‘minor procedure’ a month later and endured a tough 10 months on the sidelines.
Head coach Jurgen Klopp was hoping to have the 32-year-old available for the Premier League run-in. The report says that Liverpool hope his fresh injury is only a small problem, possibly a minor setback on his road to a full recovery.
Thiago only returned to training in the week prior to Liverpool’s 4-1 victory over Chelsea last Wednesday. Klopp hailed it as an ‘incredible moment’, but will now have concern over the former Bayern Munich player’s availability for the remainder of the season.
Thiago’s setback is especially frustrating after Klopp lost Dominik Szoboszlai for the trip to north London. The attacking midfielder had only recently recovered from a hamstring injury.
His new problem is believed to be in the same area. Meanwhile, Mohamed Salah is continuing his recovery from the hamstring injury he suffered while playing for Egypt at the Africa Cup of Nations.
The winger flew home from the tournament prematurely to receive treatment on Merseyside.
