There is a broad campaign against HS2 which includes groups created to challenge the basis for the project, charities and local government. Some groups are purely local, whilst others have regional or national roles-all are united in their opposition to HS2.
Action Groups Against HS2 (AGAHST) is the coordinating body which works with 90 local community action groups that exist to oppose HS2 and two national campaigning organisations: HS2AA and Stop HS2.
Stop HS2 is a national campaign opposing HS2 through campaigning and raising awareness.
51m is a group of 18 local authorities that has joined together in a national campaign to actively challenge the HS2 rail project. The group is known as “51m” because that represents how much HS2 will cost each and every Parliamentary Constituency… £51 million!
Wildlife Trusts, the largest UK voluntary organisation dedicated to protecting wildlife and wild places everywhere. They are supported by more than 800,000 members and oppose HS2.

The most famous spot of Syros is Ermoupolis, the capital town, which distinguishes for its Venetian architecture and the large port. The most interesting site in Syros are found in Ermoupolis and include the Town Hall, the Church of Resurrection and the Church of Agios Nikolaos. These two churches, one Catholic and the other Orthodox, are constructed on top of the two hills of Ermoupolis, one facing the other. Apart from the capital town, a very nice place to stroll around is Ano Syros, a settlement located on the slopes of a hill and offering a fantastic view of the sea.
You can see below the best Site in Syros: Ancient sites, Museums, Churches, and more. You can filter them by category and location.

This impressive building houses the Town Hall of Ermoupolis and it is the trademark of the island. It was constructed in the Neoclassical architecture by Ernst Ziller, a famous architect in Greece. The Town Hall is located in Miaouli square.
Located near the wonderful cathedral of Agios Georgios, the Jesuit Monastery of Agios Ioannis (Saint-Jean) was founded in 1535 to help the poor. It obtained its present appearance in 1852. It houses some beautiful icons, ancient inscriptions, various objects of worship and an important library of 6000 old books and manuscripts.
The Archaeological Museum of Syros is housed in the Town Hall, Miaouli Square. It was established in 1835 and includes exhibits from excavations in Halandriani Syros and other Cycladic islands, such as Amorgos and Kythnos.
The Industrial Museum is housed in three old factories in Ermoupolis. It houses old machinery and tools from factories around the island, maps, architectural designs, pictures of local painters and ship models.
The site is unique and quite interesting, as the graves discovered were corbelled and also included a lot of wealthy items, such as vessels looking like frying pans, with representations of ships on them.
The Museum of Cycladic Art is located in Ermoupolis, near Miaouli Square. It exhibits an interesting collection of Cycladic art and findings from the Cycladic period excavated in Syros and in other Cycladic islands.

In the reported experiments, surface properties of long chain N-alkyl monoaza crown ethers, i. e. , monoaza 15, 18, and 21 crowns substituted by C//8-C//1//2 alkyl groups (I) were investigated and compared with those of corresponding open chain compounds, i. e. , homogeneous polyoxyethylenated alkylamines (II). Monoaza crown ethers (I) are characteristically differentiated from the open chain alkylamines (II) in the points of smaller values of cloud point, c. m. c. , and gamma cmc, but larger values of adsorption area and free energy change of adsorption ( DELTA G). In the range of investigated alkyl chain length, the wetting and foaming properties of I are found to be better than those of II. From the views clarified above, I is characterized as a new useful surface active compound.

Three factory letters accompany this incredible special ordered and factory engraved Smith & Wesson Model of 1905, 4th Change confirming the configuration and detailing its original shipment on June 6, 1916. The gun features No. 5 coverage cut by Harry Jarvis, who was then a new S&W employee. Note the special ordered checkered grip straps and checkered trigger along with the fabulous checkered period mother of pearl grips. Knowledgeable collectors are aware of the extreme rarity of any special order checkered feature, with few known examples and only a handful of such being factory engraved. It is quite clear in handling the gun that it received extra-special attention in the polishing and finishing department as the original blue finish is especially brilliant.
The gun remains in wonderful condition retaining 99% of the extremely bright original blue finish which shows only the faintest of collector type handling evidence as well as a light cylinder line. The bore and cylinder chambers are mint! The beautifully checkered pearls fit the gun to perfection and are a real treasure all their own.

AllTrails is a fitness and travel mobile app offering information on over 200,000 trails including maps, detailed reviews, and photos curated by millions of hikers, campers, and nature lovers themselves. AllTrails also has an expert crew of in-house staff working to create trail lists and expand the reach of their services. For more than a decade, AllTrails has been working to foster happy, healthy communities by connecting people to the outdoors, and with each other. In celebration of Bike Month, the company created a curated list of bike-friendly trails accessible via Metrolink, all located within two miles of a train station.
AllTrails as a company believes that getting outside shouldn’t have to mean embarking on a long trip to a backcountry trail – it could simply be stepping outside onto a local boardwalk with a bike, exploring a local park with a stroller, or hitting a beach trail with a pair of running shoes. The team aims to offer everyone across the globe a more accessible adventure, regardless of previous outdoor experience.
AllTrails sources lists of geotargeted trails that can be customized to an individual user’s needs, and further be divided into categories such as length, difficulty, and elevation change.
Metrolink connected with the Head of Communications at AllTrails, Meaghan Praznik, for deeper insight into the company’s background, history, and plans for the future.
Increasing Accessibility to the Outdoors
“AllTrails really evolved from the notion that everyone knows that they want to get outside, but sometimes they don’t know how to start.”
She explained how AllTrails realizes that the outdoors can sometimes be intimidating – whether that means venturing out on new trail, or navigating a familiar yet challenging one .
AllTrails offers built-in safety features for explorers, inspired by the idea that people should be able to adventure with peace of mind and genuinely enjoy the experience of being outdoors without worrying they’ll take a wrong turn and become lost.
The app includes crowdsourced reviews of trails, sortable by what has been most recently submitted, as well as images, so explorers can truly prepare for any adventure. There’s also the ability to download maps offline, so you can stay connected even when you’re out of range of cell service.
AllTrails Believes Access to the Outdoors is a Non-negotiable
Praznik says from her time working at AllTrails, it’s become clear people instinctively know the outdoors is good for them physically, mentally, emotionally, and socially — but they might not know how to take that first step in finding a way to get outside.
This is where her team comes in and tries to break down each step toward getting to the trail, up to the summit, and all the way back down to the car.
“I think that we all have this big notion about ‘what getting outside,’ and ‘what getting out on the trail’ really is,” she said. “People might think it requires a lot of gear, or that they have to travel to a National Park, or that the trails have to be dirt and it has to be in the backcountry — which isn’t true.”
To AllTrails, increasing access for everyone to “all trails,” means showcasing a range of options – – from the paved trails for a mom or dad with a stroller, to flowy switchback trails for the daring mountain bikers – to the wheelchair friendly trails — and beyond.
“I think we forget that it’s our birthright to to have access to the outdoors,” she said. Praznik explains that AllTrails uses a unique method to map their trails – users can “record” their hike which crowdsources data such as the route they’re taking, the elevation change and offers future explorers insight into what to expect when they arrive.
“Our content is both crowdsourced from the community, and hand-curated by our team in house,” said Praznik. “Hikers, walkers, mountain bikers and trail runners read these authentic reviews, and can check out the experiences of those who have recently visited that same trail. I think what’s beautiful about this network is how everyone is able to help and inspire each other to get outdoors.”
As many people were initially forced to remain indoors at the start of 2020, it soon became clear that the ability to spend time outside would be extremely beneficial to mental and physical health, as a form of self-care.
“What’s really incredible about what we’re doing at AllTrails is to be a part of this reawakening and movement in favor of the outdoors,” said Praznik. “We have a community of just over 30 million people, and we can see a clear path to over a billion users. We have trails on every continent including Antarctica. It’s about trying to help everyone democratize access to the outdoors.”
It’s Not Where You’re Exploring, It’s Who You’re Exploring With
AllTrails does an excellent job helping people find new trails and get prepared for many types of outdoor adventures – but Praznik stresses how sometimes it’s not about where you’re exploring, but who you’re able to enjoy the outdoors experience with.
“The next thing we’re setting our sights on is doing a better job of connecting the local community with one another so we can all share in this passion,” she said. “We’re firm believers that conservation starts with this passion for the outdoors, so the more people we can get hooked on spending time outside,
and really appreciating the benefits of it – it will generate interest from more people who are just as passionate about conservation and preserving wild places.”
AllTrails is a Metrolink SoCal Explorer loyalty program partner and Bike Month partner. The AllTrails team has created a specially curated a list of bike-friendly routes that are all within two miles of a Metrolink station, called “Trails, Two-Wheelers and Train Tracks.” These trails can be used to explore Southern California during Bike Month, and beyond.

What are iMacs good for? are imacs good for gaming.
People will not change their health behaviors unless they believe that they are at risk. For example: Individuals who do not think they will get the flu are less likely to get a yearly flu shot. People who think they are unlikely to get skin cancer are less likely to wear sunscreen or limit sun exposure.
The Health Belief Model has four core components: (1) perceived susceptibility; (2) perceived severity; (3) perceived benefits; and (4) perceived barriers. … Finally, perceived barriers are the things that interfere with engaging in health-related behaviors.
Health beliefs are what people believe about their health, what they think constitutes their health, what they consider the cause of their illness, and ways to overcome an illness it. These beliefs are, of course, culturally determined, and all come together to form larger health belief systems.
Three major health belief systems (biomedical, naturalistic, and magico-religious) are presented with emphasis on their influential power with respect to health care practices.
- There is a way. …
- Everyone is doing the best they can. …
- Failure is a learning tool. …
- I can do anything, but I can’t do everything. …
- Small improvements are enough. …
- I don’t need to be the best. …
- It will all be over someday. …
- Good things often take time.
They can include things like your education level, your exposure to violence, the way your community is designed, and if you have access to health care. These factors affect your ability to take part in healthy behaviors, and this affects your health.
The phases of the model are encompassed in five stages: Precontemplation (not intending to make changes), Contemplation (considering changes), Preparation (making small changes), Action (actively engaging in the new behavior), and Maintenance (sustaining the change over time).
Introduction. Cultural beliefs are beliefs that are learned and shared across groups of people. Because the amount of information in a culture is too large for any one individual to master, individuals know different subsets of the cultural knowledge and thus can vary in their cultural competence.
Beliefs have been implied to play an important role in living with illness since they can be determinants of patients’ health behaviour in managing illness [6, 7]. Previous research has shown that beliefs such as catastrophizing (constraining) and self-efficacy (facilitating) affect health in patients with CWP [8–10].
Methods. A total of 61 participants (7 healthcare providers and 54 patients) were enrolled in the study. Healthcare providers and patients individually completed survey instruments and each participated in a structured focus group.
Strengths. The main strength of the HBM is its use of simplified health-related constructs that make it easy to implement, apply, and test (Conner, 2010). The HBM has provided a useful theoretical framework for investigating the cognitive determinants of a wide range of behaviors for over three decades.
In the naturalistic system of belief, a person’s health is closely tied with the natural environment. A proper balance must be maintained and harmony protected. When balance is disturbed, illness results. Three of the widely-practiced naturalistic approaches to health are humoral, Ayurvedic, and vitalistic.
The HBM has been used continuously in the development of behaviour change interventions for 40 years. Of 18 eligible studies, 14 (78%) reported significant improvements in adherence, with 7 (39%) showing moderate to large effects.
A belief is an idea that a person holds as being true. A person can base a belief upon certainties (e.g. mathematical principles), probabilities or matters of faith. A belief can come from different sources, including: a person’s own experiences or experiments.
Known as an opinion dynamics model, it’s a collection of attitudes, opinions, certainties or “cognitive orientation” towards a person or statement. “A person’s belief on one subject may be dependent on their beliefs in other issues,” he explained.
You can find your core beliefs by using the downward arrow technique. This involves following each thought down to the basement; to the underlying belief it came from. To begin, bring to mind a thought about yourself that you have often, such as, “I procrastinate too much.” Ask yourself, “What does that mean about me?”
- the social and economic environment,
- the physical environment, and.
- the person’s individual characteristics and behaviours.
About Determinants of Health The range of personal, social, economic, and environmental factors that influence health status are known as determinants of health.
- Ten Factors that. Affect. Your Health Status.
- Quality of the Environment.
- Random Events.
- Health Care.
- Behaviors You Choose.
- Quality of your Relationships.
- Decisions You Make.
Health behaviors are actions individuals take that affect their health. They include actions that lead to improved health, such as eating well and being physically active, and actions that increase one’s risk of disease, such as smoking, excessive alcohol intake, and risky sexual behavior.

- Janz, N. K., & Becker, M. H. (1984). The health belief model: A decade later. …
- Kirscht, J. P. (1988). The health belief model and predictions of health actions. …
- Rosenstock, I. M. (1966). Why people use health services. …

Perceived severity (also called perceived seriousness) refers to the negative consequences an individual associates with an event or outcome, such as a diagnosis of cancer. These consequences may relate to an anticipated event that may occur in the future, or to a current state such as a pre-existing health problem.
Traditional customs, beliefs, or methods are ones that have existed for a long time without changing.
Are there special beliefs or customs you would like to keep related to this health problem? Are there special herbs/ foods/treatments you have found helpful? Are there healers from your community who might also be able to help you? How does your family think this illness should be treated?

The leading causes of ill health or early death are drug use disorders, heart disease, depression, lung cancer and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Most of the conditions that cause a high proportion of the early death or ill health are related to modifiable factors that affect health.
Health psychology is the study of psychological and behavioral processes in health, illness, and healthcare. It is concerned with understanding how psychological, behavioral, and cultural factors contribute to physical health and illness.
Science Daily reported that the reviewers of more than 160 studies on the mind-body connection were shocked by the consistency they saw in the data. Over and over the evidence showed that a person’s positive beliefs are a strong influence for good on their health.
What are values in social care? Values are the beliefs and views that people hold about what is right or wrong. They apply to all aspects of life and influence how a person behaves in different situations. Here are some examples of the values and behaviours you might need to work in social care.
Personal beliefs and identity enable an individual to achieve their physical, intellectual, emotional and social potential. A practitioner should be positive about an individual’s life history, their family and friends.
Religious beliefs cause patients to forego needed medical care, refuse life-saving procedures, and stop necessary medication, choosing faith instead of medicine. Health Practitioners need to learn to respect the decisions that patients make based on their religious beliefs and not become offended or feel rejected.
Limitations of Health Belief Model It does not take into account behaviors that are habitual and thus may inform the decision-making process to accept a recommended action (e.g., smoking). It does not take into account behaviors that are performed for non-health related reasons such as social acceptability.
The model does not incorporate the influence of social norms and peer influences on people’s decisions regarding their health behaviors. Adopts that cues to action are extensively predominant in positive people to act and that “health” actions are the key objective in the decision-making course.
The Health Belief Model (HBM) posits that messages will achieve optimal behavior change if they successfully target perceived barriers, benefits, self-efficacy, and threat. While the model seems to be an ideal explanatory framework for communication research, theoretical limitations have limited its use in the field.
According to this way of thinking, disease is something that needs to be cured, such as infection, injury, toxic exposure, cell degeneration, etc. Illness is something that needs to be managed such as feelings of pain, discomfort, distress, weakness, fatigue, etc.
Medical anthropology is the research area within cultural anthropology that marries concepts from biological and cultural anthropology to better understand health and disease among humans. It is one of the fastest growing research areas within anthropology.
1 : an unhealthy condition of the body or mind Germs can cause illness. 2 : a specific sickness or disease Colds are a common illness. illness.
The Health Belief Model (HBM) was developed in the 1950’s by social psychologists Hochbaum, Rosenstock and others, who were working in the U.S. Public Health Service to explain the failure of people participating in programs to prevent and detect disease.

T1 signs first full Dota 2 roster, sets sights on Epicenter Major
T1 has officially settled on a Dota 2 roster after six disastrous months in the game.
That team consists of the following players:
- Dominik "Black^" Reitmeier
- Muhammad "inYourdreaM" Rizky
- Lee "Forev" Sang-don
- Tri "Jhocam" Kuncoro
- Yixaun "xuan" Guo
T1's Dota 2 roster will also work alongside League of Legends coach Choi "cCarter" Byoung-hoon, and will be coached by former MVP Phoenix player Pyo "MP" No-a.
T1 hopes Forev and Black^ lead team to Epicenter Major
Following The International 2019, the iconic League of Legends organization expanded into Dota 2. The initial plan was to sign Forev and build a Korean-majority roster around him.
The team has taken in and released a number of players in the months since, ranging from Dota 2 rookies to accomplished veterans such as Johan "pieliedie" Åström and Kim "Febby" Yong-min. None of the teams have had even a modest level of success thus far.
The team that competed in the ESL One Los Angeles southeast Asian open qualifier underwhelmed, but did score a number of wins. The team missed out on making the regional qualifiers by a hair after being defeated by Chai "Mushi" Yee Fung's IO Dota2. That was apparently enough to convince T1 to sign the team to a more long-term deal.
T1’s official lineup will surely vie for a spot at the EPICENTER Major 2020. They will once again be forced to compete in the SEA open qualifiers, which will be a tough journey for the team unless it gels quickly.

Melbourne’s iconic trams will once again take artwork across the city after being transformed into mobile canvases for this year’s Melbourne Art Trams program.
Minister for Creative Industries Martin Foley was in East Melbourne today as the first art tram for 2019 hit the rails.
Designed by artist and designer Nyein Chan Aung, the tram titled The Late Supper reimagines Leonardo da Vinci’s The Last Supper with people enjoying a meal at Supper Inn Chinese restaurant, which has stood proud as a Melbourne dining institution for more than 40 years.
In addition to Nyein Chan Aung, this year’s trams features works from photographer Kent Morris, street and stencil artist Vandal, printmaker Sophie Westerman, communications designer Gene Bawden and painter Nusra Latif Qureshi.
The Art Trams project runs as part of the Melbourne International Arts Festival’s visual arts program and invites Victorian artists and community groups to submit designs that will be printed on eight trams.
Now in its seventh year, the project is a partnership between the Andrews Labor Government, Melbourne International Arts Festival, Public Transport Victoria and Yarra Trams. It follows the Government’s much-loved Transporting Art initiative which ran from 1978 to 2003.
Over its 25-year run, Transporting Art saw Victorian creative luminaries such as Mirka Mora, Reg Mombassa and Michael Leunig painstakingly paint bright and colourful artworks onto trams.
The 2019 Community Art Tram will display the colourful work of Year 3 students from Beaconhills College in Berwick and in a nod to the celebrated history of the Transporting Art initiative, another tram will recreate a 1986 art tram painted by artist Lesley Dumbrell.
The Art Trams will be added to the network this week and will be on the tracks until August 2020. Voting will soon open for the People’s Choice Award, with a $5,000 prize for the winning design.
Quotes attributable to Minister for Creative Industries Martin Foley
“Melbourne has the world’s largest tram network where 200-million-plus trips are taken each year. These art trams are a great way to brighten commuters’ days with some of the best contemporary art Victoria has to offer.”
“The trams show that Melbourne isn’t just as a city where cultural experiences only exist inside galleries, museums and theatres – it’s a city where creativity is waiting for you at the tram stop.”
Quote attributable to Minister for Public Transport Melissa Horne
“Melbourne’s trams are iconic around the world – making them the perfect canvas to display the work of some our state's best artists.”

Canada Gives India a Helping Hand with Smart Cities
India is a country that’s racing into its tomorrow, growing at a dizzying pace in every respect. Its burgeoning economy is contained in the stark reality of its ever-growing cities. Each year millions migrate from the country’s rural parts to its cities in search of jobs and a better life. According to estimates by 2030 India’s cities will be home to 40% of its population and will be the source of 70 percent of all jobs.
The government foreseeing this evolution of urban India conceived the Smart City Mission (SCM) that aims to develop at least 100 smart cities across India at the cost of US$14 billion. The objective as stated in the official website is to “to promote cities that provide core infrastructure and give a decent quality of life to its citizens, a clean and sustainable environment and application of ‘Smart’ Solutions. The focus is on the sustainable and inclusive development and the idea is to look at compact areas, create a replicable model which will act as a lighthouse to other aspiring cities.”
In its effort to create smart cities, India is collaborating and looking at countries that are ahead in green technologies and have included sustainability as a priority in city infrastructure. One such connection is with Canada, a country that India has always shared a cordial diplomatic and business relationship with. Owing to its emphasis on sustainable development, Canada has also come forward to pitch in with the smart cities program.
India’s need for redevelopment and smart technologies in cities means a tremendous opportunity for Canadian companies in the areas of clean energy, sustainable transport, education and city governance.
Canadian cities such as Brampton, Calgary, Edmonton, Halifax, Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver and Winnipeg have continually been moving towards better urban infrastructure. Montreal recently was acclaimed the ‘smartest city in the world.’ Three Canadian cities, Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal stood at 23, 28 and 33 among the world’s most sustainable cities, according to a report (PDF 3.2MB) by London-based Centre for Economic and Business Research.
Canada has also been moving towards cleaner energy. Key among its efforts is its progress towards smarter electrical grid systems from its dependence on coal. Renewable energy, automated distribution, and advanced battery storage are gaining pace. The city of Ontario in Canada has completely moved to a coal-free electrical grid.
Among Canada’s efforts in helping India is its commitment to help make housing affordable to all. Canada’s Minister of International Trade in 2014, Ed Fast promised to pitch in to help with India’s goal of housing for all by 2022. Canada’s expertise in wood based high-density housing technology that enables multi-story construction could be employed in India, he suggested.
A few months ago, the government of the state of Maharashtra signed an MOU with Canada on urban infrastructure including smart cities, project financing, training and skills development.
According to Naveen Bains, Canadian Minister of Economic Development, the collaboration will allow world-class companies and colleges to find projects in India to work on.
Other Urban areas that are likely to see collaboration between the two countries are waste water recycling, sanitation and public transport infrastructure.
Another important area of cooperation between the two countries is public transport. India and Canada have a long-standing MOU in co-operation in the road transportation sector with a focus on road safety. It also includes the exchange of information as well as knowledge on Intelligent Transportation Systems between Transport Canada and Indian Ministry of Road Transport and Highway (MORTH).
The visit of Canadian diplomats in India has also given rise to various possible opportunities in developing smart cities. Kathleen Wynne, Premier of Ontario, on her visits has stressed upon developing smart cities and collaboration between Ontario and India. During her visit, Wynne met with the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to discuss Ontario’s role in Smart Cities Mission.
Taking its efforts to collaborate with India a notch higher Canada is organising a Smart City Mission to India in February 2017. This Smart Cities Mission to India will focus on building partnerships and will increase Canadian company knowledge of Indian market nurturing Indo-Canadian relations.
At Arsha Consulting, we’re doing our bit to contribute to the Smart Cities mission by working closely with Canadian companies to import and distribute sustainable products for the Indian construction sector. If you’re a Canadian company working in the cleantech, sustainable and smart cities sector, we can help you enter the Indian market. Contact Us now to know more.

It is a fact that Kraków likes Spanish culture. Its food, its people, its traditions, its language. If you disagree, you must only go to take a quick look at Mówimy po Hizspańsku meetings.
Six months ago, a group of Spaniards working in Kraków decided to organise weekly gatherings. Every Friday after work, these Iberians arranged to meet in a bar to have a drink and chat. But, what they wanted was local people to join them and extend the circle of friends. Living in Poland, they must take advantage of the country and interact with non-Spanish. That’s the reason why everyone who is interested on improving their Spanish language skills, learning about its culture or simply enjoying its people is more than welcome.
Nowadays, about 60 people attend the events, sometimes over a hundred participants. And the organisers achieved their goal: those who attend aren’t only Spanish, but Polish, Latin American, Portuguese… even English or Dutch. The group is growing in number and extending their range of activities since the attendees are the ones who ask for more and more. As a result, at the end of September, they participated in a food market to promote a typical Spanish dish: Tortilla de patatas. The party was such a great success that will likely become a regular tradition.
Apart from the cooking events, called Jemy po Hiszpańsku, they have already organized concerts, known as Spiewamy po Hiszpańsku. Besides, they are going to open a cultural area Populariszujemy po Hiszpańsku where they will do some speeches two Thursdays per month. The first conference is going to be on November 6 in the bar Bonobo Księgarnia Kawiarnia Podróżnica (Mały Rynek 4).
They are also planning to launch a website, but the project is still unfinished because all of them are volunteers and they must work from Monday to Friday.
The weekly meetings used to be located in the bar Palce Lizać (Topolowa street, 3), but for winter they are looking for a warmer place. You can find more info about them and the next gatherings in their Facebook page and also enjoy some videos in their Youtube channel.
On Friday September 10, reporter Esmeralda González with the Kraków Post TV went along to get to know how these Spaniards enjoy and spread their culture in Poland. Ready for learning some Spanish and having fun?


Some time ago I had praised Washington Mutual for their new approach to banking. It just made sense to treat banking more like other businesses in the retail industry and really focus on customer service. Well, now it looks like they haven't done as well (reg. required) as some had hoped.
WaMu's bosses radiated hubris. CEO Kerry Killinger predicted that the bank would become the "nation's leading retailer of financial services" and vowed to grab an incredible 20% of market share in mortgages. The chest thumping peaked a year ago when WaMu ran a startling half-page ad in the Wall Street Journal and other papers touting its stock. The ad showed a Roy Lichtenstein- style cartoon of a woman putting on lipstick, with the message: While lipstick colors are mere fads, owning WaMu stock will "look good on anyone."
But WaMu hasn't fully delivered on its promise to diversify: More than 60% of its business still derives from mortgages. And with the mortgage boom waning, it is becoming evident that the company lacks the skills to match its galloping ambition. On June 28, WaMu issued an extraordinary press release announcing a huge downward adjustment in its earnings forecast. It blamed the bad news on "expectations for a sustained increase in long-term interest rates." Huh? How could one of America's biggest mortgage lenders claim the upward march that everyone knew was coming, that Alan Greenspan had been heralding in neon red, was somehow a surprise?
For the banking world the real surprise is the extent of WaMu's woes. Rising rates have exposed WaMu's shortcomings in the bankerly disciplines it needs to handle the wrenching swings of the mortgage business. Critics like Angelo Mozilo, CEO of rival Countrywide, sees it as a classic case of an acquisition-mad business that forgot about the basics. "WaMu was touted as a world-beater," he says. "But it grew too fast. It didn't have the organizational or intellectual capacity to run a business of that size."
It is common for companies to struggle once they reach a certain size. Most strategies and corporate cultures don't just scale up – they have to be modified to account for larger groups of people, more locations, and a broader product line. I don't know all the details, but I suspect WaMu is suffering from a dot-com-ish bout of overconfidence.

Story by Keenan Hall, Staff writer
Murray State volleyball won three-straight sets and beat the Belmont Bruins in five sets 19- 25, 23-25, 25-15, 30-28 and 17-15.
Racers’ sophomore outside hitter Rachel Giustino notched another double-double with 14 kills and 23 digs. Belmont senior outside hitter Arianna Person led all players in kills with 21 and 18 digs. Murray State freshman setter Ashley McBee dished 20 assists, but Bruin’s senior setter Emma Price had a game-high 59 assists.
The Racers opened the match neck-and-neck with the Bruins. Murray State had 11 kills out of 44 attempts in the first, and ended the set hitting at .091 percent. Belmont began the match with 15 kills on a .268 hitting percentage.
The Bruins closed the first set on a 16-10 run after the score was tied at nine. Person scored seven kills in the first set. Belmont had an efficient first set, while the Racers committed seven errors and lost 25-19.
The second set was no different for the Bruins. Murray State scored 11 kills and two less errors than in the first set and raised their hitting percentage to .150 in the second set but Belmont stayed consistent, scoring 12 kills and only five errors in the second.
Murray State controlled a majority of the set until the Bruins ended the set on a 13-6 run to claim a 25-23 set win.
Murray State Head Coach David Schwepker said he wanted his team to be resilient and to compete from start to finish.
“The whole theme of yesterday was just about fighting,” Schwepker said. “You just fight until the end and then whatever happens, happens.”
The Racers bounced back to claim their first set win of the match after posting 11 kills and raising their hitting percentage to .182 percent in the third set. Murray State also held the Bruins to a -.083 hitting percentage and forced them to committ 13 errors.
The Racers won the third set by a double digit margin 25-15. Murray State used a balanced attack and group defensive effort to take momentum of the match from Belmont. Five different Racers scored at least one kill in the set. Murray State won the third set.
It was a shoot-out in the fourth set as Murray State recorded 16 kills out of 62 attempts, and the Bruins scored 15 kills out of 61 shots. Belmont opened the set on a 5-2 run after the Racers started giving up a kill and committed four straight errors. Murray State climbed back in the set and regained the lead at 17-14.
There were 11 lead changes and eight ties, but neither team could stretch out to a sizeable lead. Giustino had five kills, while junior outside hitter Dacia Brown and McBee had three kills a piece.
The Bruins posted eight blocks in the fourth set, but fell to close the match after being up two sets to zero. The Racers won the fourth set 30-28.
Schwepker took notice of his team’s poise down the stretch, and said the win served as a major milestone for his young team.
“That was a big step in maturing for this team, to go through that much pressure in the heart of the game is huge,” Schwepker said. “They were up a lot and had several game points, but we kept coming back at them. To be able to do that under that kind of pressure is what the maturity process is all about.”
Murray State closed the fifth set after defending multiple match-point attempts by Belmont. The Bruins scored 11 kills, but it wasn’t enough to stop Murray State’s momentum; the Racers pulled off the comeback and won the fifth set 17-15.
Murray State volleyball swept Tennessee State on Saturday for their fifth home win out of six matches this season in a game that ended 28-26, 25-21 and 25-18.
The Racers’ sophomore right-side hitter Rachel Holthaus lead all players by scoring 13 kills. Murray State also had sophomore outside hitter Rachel Giustino score 11 kills and freshman middle blocker Katirah Johnson score 10 kills. Callie Anderton nearly had a double-double with nine digs and a game-high 41 assists for the Racers.
The Tigers finished the opening set scoring 15 kills out of 43 attempts, but had 10 errors. Murray State had 16 kills and only committed six errors in the first set. Tennessee State came out in the lead at 9-5.
After the score reached 13-12, the Racers pulled off a 12-9 run to take the lead at 24-22. Following the run, there were two kills from Murray State and two errors from Tennessee State gave the Racers their first set win 28-26.
Prior to Saturday’s match, Schwepker told his team to forget about their comeback performance from the night before and solely focus on their current matchup.
“Before today’s match we talked about not trying to duplicate last night’s game,” Schwepker said. “This is a new match, a new team, and we have to figure this team out.
The Racers finished the second set with 14 kills and a .268 hitting percentage. The Tigers raised their hitting percentage from .116 to .212 percent in the second set. Tennessee State opened the set rolling again, grabbing the lead at 9-5, but the Racers stayed within distance thanks to four errors from the Tigers.
After the Racers took the lead at 12-11, they reeled off a 13-10 scoring run to win the set 25-21. Tennessee State committed five of their six errors during the run. Johnson scored three of her 10 kills and Holthaus notched two of her 13 kills down the stretch. Murray State junior outside hitter Dacia Brown also scored two kills to seal the second set win.
To start third set, the navy and gold took a page out of the Tigers’ book and stormed out to a 10-5 lead in the final set.
Murray State played nearly error-free in the third set, committing only two service errors but added 16 kills. Tennessee State scored 10 kills but tallied eight errors on a .050 hitting percentage. The Racers completed the sweep after a 25-18 win in the third set.
Schwepker was proud of the way his team fared in the two matches amidst the volleyball program’s alumni weekend. Players from last season’s conference-winning volleyball team were in attendance to watch their alma-mater in action. Because of the nostalgia circling the team, Schwepker said he had to stress playing with composure.
“Last night was so emotional for everybody, so it would have been easy to come out flat against Tennessee State,” Schwepker said. “I thought they did a really nice job getting themselves ready to play.”
Murray State improved to 15-7 (7-3). The Racers are 4-4 on the road this season and will play away from Racer Arena for their next two matches. Murray State will face SIUE at 7 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 27, in Edwardsville, Illinois.

So, I finally finished this book Yey!!!!!! I didn't really read many books this holiday. I don't exactly know why but it happens. So, I finished this book and it is amazing. Some people say that they like the first book better. However I actually like the second book better. Why? lets get to it shall we
WARNING if you haven't read the first book in this series. There would be some spoilers ahead but, if you haven't gotten the chance to read the second book that's okay I won't spoil the book for you.
First of all the story continues following the journey of Shahrzad and Khalid. After Tariq "kidnapped" Shahrzad from the palace Shahrzad and Khalid would be apart. "My Ship Nooo" but don't worry there still will be some romance in this book.
The biggest difference from the first and second book is that the first book is mostly made up of their romance story. Meanwhile, the second book has so much more to it. Not just about romance it is also about letting go, about forgiving. I feel like in the I learn so much from the second book beyond romance.
Note that there will be so many lines worth quoting. I really want to mention some here but, I don't want to spoil them from you
Last but not least, I do have some problems with the world builiding in the first book. I feel confused as to whether how far the extent of the magic is and how fantasy is this fantasy book. Does that makes sense? I hope it does. In the second book, I feel like I can understand the world much better here as if it is finally complete

The Lilywhites travel to Drogheda United in the Wee County derby with the aim of closing the gap on the top three in the Airtricity Premier Division
The Lilywhites are currently fourth in the league table, five points behind third placed Sligo Rovers, and manager Stephen Kenny was keen to acknowledge the effort put in by his "exceptional" players to achieve their league position.
"The players have been exceptional so far," he told the club's official website. "Their effort has been outstanding and our away form has been excellent with six wins out of seven. That gives us confidence."
Dundalk came from behind at Oriel Park to secure a 2-2 draw the last time the sides met and Kenny is aware that it will not be an easy game.
"It is a derby of course and they have good players so it won't be easy," he added. "We know it's a tough game but we've prepared well and we're ready for it."
Chris Shields is struggling to overcome a knee injury and remains a doubt, but Kenny will be unable to call upon suspended trio Stephen O'Donnell, Darren Meenan and John Sullivan.
Drogheda United, meanwhile, will be without the services of goalkeeper Gabriel Sava and midfielder David Cassidy, who are both serving suspensions. Drogs captain Derek Prendergast continues to recover from an ankle injury, while Eric Foley is also unavailable.
Drogheda manager Mick Cooke revealed that he is looking forward to the local derby and likened Dundalk's exploits to that of his own side last season, describing Stephen Kenny's side as a "real surprise package"
"The local derby is always a great occasion," he told the club's official website. "Dundalk obviously are doing what we did last season, they are the real surprise package of the league.
"They are playing some good football but we are well capable of that and it should be a good game, it will also determine who has the bragging rights for the next 10 weeks or so."
Drogheda United host Dundalk at Hunky Dorys Park on Monday, June 10. Kick off 20:00 BST.


Bhopal. Even though the Congress lost 19 seats in the recently held by-elections of 28 assembly seats in the state in 2020, the victory of the Congress in one seat has not reduced its morale. The Congress, which has been the most discussed in the by-elections, has won the Dabra assembly seat by defeating the BJP.
Here, Jyotiraditya Scindia’s pro minister Imrati Devi had to face defeat and Suresh Raje of Congress defeated her by more than 7000 votes. In a way, here the Congress has done a job to shock Scindia.
Vijayalakshmi Sadho, who was in-charge of the party in Dabra Assembly seat, has been a major contributor to the victory of Congress in Dabra seat which was the most discussed during the by-election. And now the news is that Vijayalakshmi Sadho can get the reward of winning the Dabra seat.
Vijayalakshmi Sadho can become the leader of the opposition if she leaves the post of Leader of Opposition in Kamal Nath. Vijayalakshmi Sadho leader has become a strong contender for the post of opposition, defeating the veteran leaders of the Congress.
However, Congress leaders are assuming that the party organization will decide who will be the leader of the opposition.

This is a random picture from the last show in the gallery


Out of the blue (at least to us outsiders), News Corp. has pulled its $580 million bid for the Tribune-owned Long Island newspaper, just days after CEO Rupert Murdoch told analysts that a deal was imminent. It seems that he was unwilling to match the $650-million offer by Cablevision, which is controlled by the Dolan family and has a bunch of Long Island ties. Also making a $580-million offer - and considering upping that - is NY Daily News owner Mort Zuckerman. What's interesting about all this is how confident Murdoch was sounding about doing the deal with Tribune CEO Sam Zell. From the conference call:
I donít think Cablevision will prevail. Just be patient for a couple of days, will you? We are certainly not in the business of getting into an auction here.
Weíre hoping to wrap it up within the next week, and I donít mean the end of next week. I mean within the next seven days, but it takes two to agree but we are at a pretty advanced stage. Iíll just leave it at that at the moment.
I trust Mr. Zell absolutely. Heís famous as being a man of his word and we think everything is in hand.
Two ego-infused billionaires negotiating a big-time deal? Now that would be quite a show (whereís Anthony Pellicano when you need him?). Anyway, thereís no telling what went wrong, but it is worth noting that Murdoch was quoted at a Time magazine banquet as saying that the sale could take longer to work out than what he indicated during the conference call. His plan had been to combine the Newsday and NY Post printing operations, but keep the newsrooms separate. As for Zell, there was some silly speculation that he would want to align himself with Murdoch, even if it meant walking away from an extra $70 million. Yeah, right. Here's the Reuters story.
*As the NYT points out, Cablevisionís offer was not truly worth $70 million more than the others because Cablevision was also bidding for the real estate, while Murdoch and Zuckerman had agreed to let Tribune continue to own it. Even with that difference, Cablevisionís offer was still the highest by perhaps $40 million.

E.on UK retail earnings plummet as price cap takes its toll
The German-owned supplier revealed a 78% plunge in second quarter underlying earnings at its UK retail supply arm to 12 million euro (£11 million).
E.on has blamed the energy price cap for sending UK retail earnings crashing 78% as the gas and electricity giant also shed another 400,000 customers.
The German-owned Big Six provider revealed underlying earnings at its UK household supply arm plunged to 12 million euro (£11 million) in the three months to June 30.
It said it saw customer numbers drop around 400,000 to 6.2 million in the first half, after about another 170,000 quit in the second quarter.
But E.on said it had begun to reverse the decline in UK customer numbers, reporting an increase in July.
The market in Great Britain is currently particularly challenging. Marc Spieker, E.on
This is thought to have been helped by its recent pledge to only provide electricity from renewable generation for its 3.3 million customers in Britain.
E.on’s results showed overall first half underlying UK retail earnings were 65% lower at 71 million euro (£65 million) in the first half of 2019, and E.on warned the price cap will leave annual earnings in the wider division “significantly below” the previous year.
E.on said the market was “particularly challenging” in the UK after the introduction of the price cap for default and standard variable tariffs in January.
The firm’s figures come as the UK energy regulator Ofgem also announced on Wednesday that the price cap will reduce by £75 to £1,179 a year from October 1 due to lower prices in wholesale energy markets.
E.on’s wider group also saw figures impacted by the energy price cap and retail arm woes, contributing to a 12% fall in total half-year underlying earnings to 1.72 billion euro (£1.58 billion).
Across the group, earnings at its customer solutions retail division nearly halved to 240 million euro (£221 million) in the six months to June 30 from 477 million euro (£439 million) a year earlier.
Marc Spieker, chief financial officer at E.on, said: “The market in Great Britain is currently particularly challenging.
“But here we have already responded to the demanding environment with attractive new products and clear cost management.”
The firm also revealed an 11% fall in staff at its retail business to 17,608 amid restructuring efforts in the UK and elsewhere across Europe, while it has also been re-assigning staff to its energy network division.
E.on added it expects to complete its 40 billion euro (£36.8 billion) takeover of RWE’s Innogy – owner of npower – next month as part of an asset swap with RWE.
It is looking at strategic options for UK supplier npower, which has been loss-making for the past few years.
Speaking after announcing the results, Mr Spieker said it is “no option that we have a non-profitable business in our portfolio”.
But it is understood that options for npower could include it being offloaded or retained by E.on in a bid to turn it around.
The future of npower has been uncertain since a plan to merge it with fellow Big Six supplier SSE was scrapped at the end of last year.

About 3D Manufacturing and Printing
The terms 3D manufacturing, 3D printing, additive 3D printing or simply additive manufacturing (AM), all refer to the process of making a three-dimensional solid object from a digital file. In the additive process, successive layers of material are laid down according to the computer specifications until an object is created. Each of the layers is a thin section of the object.
Companies using additive 3D manufacturing technology can use a variety of materials to create the object:
- Metal or metal alloys, including titanium, silver, steel and polycarbonate
- Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) plastic
- Polylactic acid or polylactide (PLA)
- Polyamide (nylon) or glass filled polyamide
- Epoxy resins
Traditional subtractive machining cuts or hollows out a piece of metal, plastic or other material. On the other hand, the additive 3D printing process for manufacturing works in the opposite way, enabling manufacturers to produce complex shapes using less material and less expensively than traditional manufacturing methods. There are also many part configurations that can be direct 3D printed that would be impossible to manufacture using traditional methods.
What Industries Use 3D Printing & Additive Manufacturing?
The global 3D printing industry is expected to exceed $15 billion in revenue by 2020. This rapid growth is due to improvements in industrial 3D manufacturing technology in recent years. Creating 3D printing metal parts is less expensive compared to traditional machining, especially for complex parts or difficult to machine materials.
Rapid prototyping services for industrial applications using the 3D manufacturing process have been around for many years, too. They are often ideal because they save time and money over traditional manufacturing. A 3D digital file can be modified quickly in real time and another 3D printed prototype created right away. Rapid 3D prototyping is often used in the manufacturing process for aerospace and automotive parts, components for oil and gas turbines, the military or healthcare, to name just a few industries. It is perfect for short run or small batch custom component creation.
Beyond prototyping, the industrial 3D printing process has now become a production technology that can create components for even the most demanding applications and industries like:
- Oil and gas
- Defense and military
- Mechanical engineering
- Healthcare & medical devices
Direct Metal 3D Printing
The metal 3D printing process has been one of the most outstanding developments in the additive manufacturing industry in recent years, allowing companies to directly print 3D metal parts instead of machining or milling them in traditional ways. Also called direct metal laser sintering (DMLS), direct metal 3D printing technology can build components that vary from simple to highly complex.
Any manufacturer using metal 3D printing processes or printing applications needs to be sure that each part has the same high quality and consistency as the one before and the one after it. That’s where Sigma Additive Solutions comes in.
Sigma’s scientists, engineers and software developers have developed proprietary hardware and software technology that detects and predict problems during the manufacturing 3D printing process. PrintRite3D® is designed specifically for use in highly demanding applications like aerospace, defense, automobile, oil and gas, and other industries.
High confidence in the manufacturing process. Real-time quality control. Process repeatability. That’s Sigma’s contribution to the additive 3D printing quality control and assurance challenge.

Thank you for your question and photograph. It is important for you to consult with your surgeon about any questions or concerns you may have seeing as they know your medical history, anatomy and surgery best and every surgeon has slightly different post-operative protocols. I would continue your dosage of antibiotics and suggest that your doctor take a swab of the fluid to be tested at the lab to make sure you are taking the correct course of measure to treat your infection. You seem to have some necrosis which is skin that has died due to lack of oxygenated blood supply; this skin should be removed by debridement to prevent further infection from occurring.
Best of luck in your recovery!

3 - Has there been a wound culture and antibiotic sensitivities done yet? You need to be sure the best antibiotic is being used.4 - Are you treating the necrosis topically? We use silver sulfadiazine cream at this stage (it is a burn cream mainly)If a patient's course is worsening rather than improving, that is the most worrisome sign.Good luck in your healing.
