If you are trying to create a new virtual machine using VirtualBox on Windows 10 or any other Windows versions, you may get an error as below:
Not in a hypervisor partition (HVP=0)(VERR_NEM_NOT_AVAILABLE).
VT-x is disabled in the BIOS for all CPU modes (VERR_VMX_MSR_ALL_VMX_DISABLED).
Before we see the fix for this VirtualBox issue, let’s go through the reason first.
The error “VT-x is disabled in the BIOS for all CPU modes” appears if virtualization is not enabled in your Windows computer. Many Windows computers have the virtualization disabled by default at the BIOS level and it needs to be enabled to set up a new virtual machine.
I am explaining this for a DELL laptop with windows 10 but the solution would be the same for other computers with slight variations in the way they allow enabling virtualization.
If you are using a Lenovo computer, read this – Enable virtualization on Lenovo Computers
NOTE: Make a note of the entire solution and then proceed as it requires system restart as a step and cannot be followed along with reading.
“Not in a hypervisor partition” Solution:
In windows machine go to Settings -> Update & Security -> Recovery. There is a Restart Now option as highlighted under Advanced startup. Read the below steps before clicking on the advanced setup.
Once the Restart Now is clicked the below options need to be followed in sequence:
Troubleshoot → Advanced option → UEFI Firmware Settings → Restart
- Once the restart is clicked the system enters BIOS mode.
- In the BIOS look for option Virtualization which is under Advanced or System Configuration for most of the computers.
- The system shows that Virtualization is disabled.
- Change it to enabled.
Once done you can exit with save (F10 is the shortcut for most computers).
This will fix the issue “Not in a hypervisor partition in VirtualBox” / “VT-x is disabled in the BIOS for all CPU modes”.
Happy learning 🙂


Effects of Prosodic Variations on Accidental Triggers of a commercial Voice Assistant
(3 minutes introduction)
|Ingo Siegert (OvG Universität Magdeburg, Germany)|
The use of modern voice assistants has rapidly grown and they can be found in more and more households. By design, these systems have to scan every sound in their surroundings waiting for their respective wake-word before being able to react to the users’ commands. The drawback of this method is that phonetic similar expressions can activate the voice assistant and thus speech utterances or whole private conversations will be recorded and streamed to the cloud back-end for further processing. Many news articles and scientific work reported on inaccurate wake-word detection. Resulting in at least a user’s confusion or at worst security breaches. The current paper is based on a broader analysis of phonetic similar accidental triggers conducted by Schönherr et al., they presented a systematic analysis to detect accidental triggers, using a pronouncing dictionary and a weighted, phone-based Levenshtein distance. In this work, the previously identified accidental triggers are recorded by several speakers under various conditions to investigate the influence of phonetic variances (i.e. intonation and speaking/articulation rate) on the robustness of accidental triggers in a real-world environment.

Another roadblock to making all this patient-generated information medically relevant is that it's in silos controlled by the companies that collect it. Plus, analysing it can be pricey.
What's needed, some experts say, is a system that aggregates and distills data into easily digestible nuggets of information for both patients and their doctors. For consumers to buy in, the interface needs to be as simple as signing into services with your Facebook account, says Guido Jouret, Cisco's Internet of Things general manager.
Google Health was an early attempt at integration that failed because uploading the data was a hassle, he says. Now Practice Fusion is making a go of it. The company already brands itself as a "physician-patient community," allowing patients to directly manage their health and find providers. Integrating consumer-grade health products was a logical next step. For now, patients must come into their doctors offices to upload data to the platform wirelessly through the cloud, but there are plans to let patients upload their own data from home in the future. The idea is to leverage the power of the internet to increase social interactions and productivity and provide users seamless, on demand data access from any device. "If you look to 2020, there's no way electronic medical records are not running primarily in the cloud," Douglass recalls Ryan Howard, his co-founder, saying when he approached him in 2005 and sold him on the idea of starting a web-based electronic health records company. "All medical information had to be instantly accessible."
The privacy problem
In the long-term, Douglass says, the company could develop "fairly complex algorithms that are looking at trends across patient populations -- who's healthy or who can be healthier and whether recommendations are actually making them better." Like Google and Facebook, the San Francisco-based startup acts as a marketplace for information. Its services are free to the more than 100,000 medical professionals who use its product. The company makes money by partnering with diagnostic labs, imaging centres and drug companies and through targeted advertising.
Practice Fusion has to play by US federal rules governing patient privacy under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. It says all its data is aggregated and stripped of anything that would identify patients. Privacy advocates are concerned, however, the federal privacy law doesn't apply to the growing volume of data produced by many health consumer apps and devices. Even outside a medical context, web titans like Google, Microsoft, Amazon and Facebook have faced criticism when using their customers' activities to target them with ads for products and services. Using health data to target patients makes the stakes even higher, some privacy advocates argue. "The big concern with services that collect or aggregate health data from multiple sources is that many of them will not be covered by health privacy laws," says Deven McGraw, the director of the Centre for Democracy and Technology's Health Privacy Project. "Consequently, how they collect and use health data is going to be governed by the companies' internal privacy policies, which they write."
Bob Kocher, a partner at venture capital firm Venrock and a former special assistant to the President for healthcare on the National Economic Council, says medical data today is more secure than ever. "We lost paper charts all the time," he says. "Now we actually know which servers they're on, and we can even document if there was a breach."
Plus, he says, health data hasn't yet proven all that valuable for hucksters. The bad guys don't care about your health: they want your identity, and they can piece that together from your birthday, social security, e-mail and address -- information they can get from variety of sources including bank statements, he says.
For physicians, on the other hand, the information can be invaluable. "We're getting data that we've never had before," Topol says. "It's quite extraordinary."

This story originally appeared on Wired.com


On the January 12 edition of On the Record, Wall Street Journal senior economics writer Stephen Moore rehashed old falsehoods about health care reform, by claiming that “a major provision” of the bill, the individual mandate, “looks to be unconstitutional” and that "[p]eople aren't going to get any benefits from this bill for three or four years." In fact, numerous legal experts have disputed the claim that the individual mandate is unconstitutional, and the health care reform bill provides many benefits “in the first year of enactment.”
Moore falsely suggested health reform is unconstitutional and that there are no benefits for years
Moore: “a major provision” of health care reform “looks to be unconstitutional.” Moore discussed the individual mandate to purchase insurance, which is in both the House and Senate's health care reform legislation, and said he found it “highly objectionable that a lot of these members of the House and Senate are about to vote yes on a bill, where you have a major provision that looks to be unconstitutional.” Moore went on to state: "[P]oint to me in the Constitution--point to me that section of the Constitution where it says the United States government has the authority to force people to buy insurance? It is not in there."
Moore claims the bill provides no benefits for “three to four years.” While discussing the individual mandate, host Greta van Susteren said “supposedly we don't get the service for about four years” which would allow “the Supreme Court to get a decision on” the constitutionality of the individual mandate. Moore replied: “People aren't getting benefits -- that's a great point. People aren't going to get any benefits from this bill for three or four years, but the costs start right away.”
In fact, many experts have concluded that the individual mandate is constitutional
Claim about individual mandate forwards a conservative myth. Numerous conservative media figures including Fox News' senior judicial analyst Andrew Napolitano, Fox News hosts Bill O'Reilly, Glenn Beck, and Mike Huckabee, and serial health care misinformer Betsy McCaughey have claimed that the individual mandate found in the health care legislation is unconstitutional.
Numerous experts have concluded that individual mandate is, in fact, constitutional. In fact, legal scholars -- including George Washington University law professor Orin Kerr, who recently served as a special counsel to Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) during Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor's confirmation proceedings -- have pointed out the flaws in conservatives' arguments, including that regulation of the health care sector falls under Congress' broad power to regulate interstate commerce and that Congress has repeatedly passed laws regulating health care and health insurance. In a December 2009 paper for the American Constitution Society, National Senior Citizen Law Center public policy counsel Simon Lazarus added that arguments that the individual mandate is unconstitutional “have no basis in law, neither in the grants of authority to Congress in Article I nor in limitations on that authority in the Bill of Rights, nor in the case law interpreting these provisions. Opponents' real grievance is with the law in its current state. Their hope is that a majority of the Supreme Court will seize on a challenge to mandatory health insurance as an occasion to make major changes in current law.” Additionally, University of California, Irvine law professor and constitutional expert Erwin Chemerinsky explained in an October 23 Politico piece that, regarding the “authority to compel people to purchase health insurance or pay a tax or a fine,” “Congress clearly could do this under its power pursuant to Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution to regulate commerce among the states.” Also, according to Slate.com's Timothy Noah, Yale law professor Akhil Reed Amar and Fordham Law School dean William Treanor debunked conservatives' argument that the individual mandate could be considered a “taking” in violation of the Fifth Amendment
The health care bill provides many benefits in the first year of implementation
Senate Democrats note "[i]mmediate Benefits" of health care bill. According to a document put forth by Senate Democrats summarizing the “Immediate Benefits” of The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, the bill includes numerous benefits that would “be available in the first year after enactment.” Indeed, WashingtonPost.com blogger Ezra Klein published the following list of benefits that the Senate bill would provide “before 2014” :
1) Eliminating lifetime limits, and cap annual limits, on health-care benefits. In other words, if you get an aggressive cancer and your treatment costs an extraordinary amount, your insurer can't suddenly remind you that subparagraph 15 limited your yearly expenses to $30,000, and they're not responsible for anything above that.
2) No more rescissions.
3) Some interim help for people who have preexisting conditions, though the bill does not instantly ban discrimination on preexisting conditions.
4) Requiring insurers to cover preventive care and immunizations.
5) Allowing young adults to stay on their parent's insurance plan until age 26.
6) Developing uniform coverage documents so people can compare different insurance policies in an apples-to-apples fashion.
7) Forcing insurers to spend 80 percent of all premium dollars on medical care (75 percent in the individual market), thus capping the money that can go toward administration, profits, etc.
8) Creating an appeals process and consumer advocate for insurance customers.
9) Developing a temporary re-insurance program to help early retirees (folks over 55) afford coverage.
10) Creating an internet portal to help people shop for and compare coverage.
11) Miscellaneous administrative simplification stuff.
12) Banning discrimination based on salary (i.e., where a company that's not self-insured makes only some full-time workers eligible for coverage.

Perseverance, the ability to continue moving forward despite challenge and adversity, is critical to success in business and life.
Without it, projects are delayed, tasks go incomplete, goals are never met, and feelings of defeat can surface.
With it, we are able to march on! Even as we encounter the inevitable setbacks, the fire within is kept alive, prompting us to push a little harder, keep at it a little longer, for the view from the top of the mountain is glorious!
Decades of research reveals that perseverance predicts success, in everything from business to athletic and academic pursuits. It is a necessity for those who want to achieve greatness AND... it is a skill that can be developed!
But like many “success traits” that can be cultivated, we need to look beneath the surface to better understand how to develop perseverance. For if it were so simple and straight-forward business and goal achievement "failure" rates would be low or non-existent. Alas, they are not.
In my post-grad applied neuroscience research study I looked at the impact of emotions on grit: passion and perseverance for long term goals. Specifically, with coaches building their business.
We all encounter obstacles and challenges as we build our business, and we all experience certain emotions as a result. But what impact does emotion have, specifically on our ability to persevere towards achieving business goals?
One of the findings revealed that the more the individuals in the study experienced "negative" or “unwanted” emotions when faced with challenges, the less they persevered towards goals. In contrast, the more they experienced "positive" emotions, the more they persevered.
And that makes sense intuitively, right?
For example, you encounter an obstacle or challenge whilst pursuing your goal, and feelings of frustration emerge. You try a different approach, frustration turns to anger. Anger prevents you from being able to problem-solve effectively and make good-quality decisions. You get angry at the problem, angry at yourself because you can’t solve the problem, and then over time the frustration or anger becomes too much.
Maybe it’s because you’ve been working hard to lose weight and no matter what you do your weight stays the same. Maybe you’ve been trying to gain new clients for your business, and you never seem to get to the next level.
When you stop attempting to address the problem, the feelings subside. The simple solution, if you don’t want the frustration or anger, is to not pursue the goal any further. Is it any wonder we have such a high “failure rate” with goal achievement? Who would want to feel like that when pursuing a goal probably expected to be enjoyable.
When I divided the coaches building their businesses into groups, specifically those with an “acceptance” style of emotional processing and those with an “avoidance” style of processing, something very interesting emerged.
An acceptance style is defined as a willingness to remain in contact with “negative” or “unwanted” experiences, such as emotions, thoughts, memories. An avoidance style reflects an unwillingness.
These styles represent the different types of habitual emotion regulation strategies that we use, and we know from neuroscience that different emotion regulation strategies recruit different neural networks in the brain.
For individuals who adopted an avoidance style of processing, the more they experienced negative or unwanted emotions, the less they persevered towards their goals.
In contrast, those with an acceptance style were unaffected by an increase in negative or unwanted emotions. In other words, these individuals’ ability to persevere when faced with challenges is unaffected by the amount of negative emotion they experienced:
What’s also interesting is that those individuals with an acceptance style, generally, experienced less negative emotion when they encountered challenges. It may just be that adopting an attitude of acceptance actually results in experiencing unwanted emotions less.
And just like perseverance is not a fixed trait, neither is the emotional processing style that directly impacts our level of perseverance.
Now there are many ways in which to adopt more of an acceptance style of emotional processing, and develop our ability to persevere when faced with obstacles as we pursue goals, which we’ll cover in future articles and podcast episodes.
However, the first step is to recognize, and accept, that in business and life we’ll always encounter challenges. We may not always like them, but we can always choose how we show up to meet them!
For success strategies subscribe to my new podcast, where I’ll be sharing more research-backed tips and training.

They have trailed just twice this season and the defense has allowed just five touchdowns, while scoring three. Senior linebacker Channing Tindall leads Georgia with 45 tackles, including 21 solo, with one sack for four yards. He has registered at least three tackles in every game, including a season-high seven in three games. Offensively, freshman tight end Brock Bowers has made a big first impression and leads the team in receptions with 28 for yards He has had three games with two TDs.
In a game against UAB on Sept. He also had five catches for yards Why Tennessee can cover The Volunteers have a number of explosive options at wide receiver, including redshirt senior Velus Jones Jr. Jones has 36 receptions for yards He ranks fifth in the SEC in all-purpose yards per game He notched his second yard output of the season last week against No. He added 31 kick return yards.
The senior has started 27 games in his Tennessee career and has the benefit of playing behind a stacked offensive line. Tennessee has four former five-star recruits on its o-line, and those experienced and skillfull linemen have delivered Guarantano a clean pocket to open the year. In their stead, the Volunteers receiver that seems to have established a strong connection with Guarantano is senior Josh Palmer, who has 10 catches for yards and touchdown this year.
Tennessee really struggled to run the ball in , ranking 90th in rushing success and th in rushing explosiveness. Those issues have carried over into , as the Volunteers have averaged only 4. The Vols do bring back their running back tandem and their entire offensive line, so there is still optimism that things will improve.
That defense brings back a ton of talent but will need to replacing three of its best players from last year. So far, the strength of the Tennessee defense has been against the run. The Volunteers ranked in the top half of college football in defensive rushing success and explosiveness last season, which has carried over into Tennessee has allowed only 3.
Tennessee has been below average against the pass but has a ton of talent in their secondary. In fact, Tennessee had more interceptions last season than passing touchdowns allowed. The Volunteers return three starters in the secondary who must step up on Saturday to keep Stetson Bennett and company in check. Georgia Bulldogs Offense If Georgia falls short of a national title this year, its going to be because of its offense.
But so far its been junior Stetson Bennett under center, who has been solid throwing for 8. Where the Bulldogs need to improve is on their offensive line. They lost four starters this offseason — including both tackles — which has really affected their running game.

Spontaneous cascaded Raman amplification is demonstrated as a practical and efficient means of power transfer from telecommunications wavelengths to mid-IR wavelength bands through use of conventional silica fibers and amplifiers. We show that silica fibers possessing normal dispersion over all near-IR and mid-IR wavelengths can facilitate 37% and 16% efficient Raman power conversion from to 2.15 and wavelength bands, respectively, using nanosecond pulses from an all-fiber laser source. In contrast to supercontinuum-based techniques for long-wavelength generation, the high levels of Raman gain generated at these wavelength bands could produce useful optical amplification necessary for the development of numerous mid-IR laser sources.

Lawsuits always have been expected after the federal government rules on a Cowlitz Indian Tribe application to take land into trust near La Center, Wash. -- a major hurdle to building a casino.
But Vancouver got an early start, filing a federal court lawsuit Friday challenging a decision that approves the tribe's gaming procedures in the proposed casino.
The suit the city filed in federal court in Tacoma seeks a temporary injunction blocking a National Indian Gaming Commission ruling for two reasons:
Under the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act, a tribal casino is allowed on Indian lands. But the 152 acres near the La Center-Interstate 5 junction, where the casino and reservation buildings are proposed, is owned by a Washington limited liability company, Salishan-Mohegan. For this reason, the National Indian Gaming Commission should not have approved, in November 2005 and this January, a "gaming ordinance" for the tribe.
The tribe does not have a compact governing tribal gaming with Washington state. Without a compact between the tribe and the state, the gaming commission lacks jurisdiction to approve a gaming ordinance, the lawsuit contends.
The lawsuit seeks a temporary injunction until the tribe corrects these alleged problems. The tribe must have a National Indian Gaming Commission-approved gaming ordinance to operate a casino.
More importantly, the tribe is awaiting a Bureau of Indian Affairs decision on whether the land owned by Salishan-Mohegan will be taken into federal trust. That would be one of the crucial steps to allowing the tribe to build a $510 million casino, resort and tribal facilities on the land, 16 miles north of the Interstate Bridge.

South Africa’s GM maize flooding into your countries!!!
The African Centre for Biosafety (ACB) has been monitoring the GMO landscape in South Africa since 2004. As recently as three years ago South Africa was importing millions of tons of GM maize from Argentina, used mainly in the animal feed industry. During 2010, South African maize farmers produced a 6 million ton maize surplus, which included a large percentage of GM maize.
With the threat of financial ruin looming large, industry has been scouring the globe in search of new export markets. Last February, nearly 300,000 tons of GM maize was earmarked for export to Kenya. However, this evoked a huge scandal because the GM maize had not been approved in Kenya, resulting in many of the shipments being held up in Mombasa harbour, amid a flurry of contrary statements issued by the Kenyan and South African governments. Further shipments that fell through regulatory cracks were dispatched to Swaziland, Mozambique and even Somalia. The really lucrative markets for commodity grains are found beyond Africa’s shores in Europe, the Middle East and East Asia (making a mockery of the idea that GM crops have been developed to alleviate global hunger). South Korea alone has imported over 1.2 million tons of South African GM maize since the middle of 2010; Taiwan 360,000 tons; Spain and Italy nearly 350,000 tons. It has now come to our attention that since January 2011, South Africa has exported 150,000 tons of GM maize to Mexico, a centre of origin of maize.
Further, a small consignment of Monsanto’s Roundup Ready maize seed (NK 603) has been exported to India, for the purposes of commercial planting, and a massive 70 tons of Monsanto’s extremely controversial and risky GM maize seed has been exported to Egypt. The ACB calls on like-minded activists in these countries to resist these latest corporate attacks on food sovereignty, and hold their governments to account for allowing these fundamental issues to be kept from public scrutiny For more information please refer to our series of briefing papers on the GM maize industry in South Africa and The dirty politics of the global grain trade – GM maize farmers face ruin in SA.

It takes Jupiter twelve Earth years to complete one revolution around the Sun, according to NASA. Jupiter rotates faster than any other planet, and its orbit is elliptical.
NASA states that Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system and is five times the distance of Earth from the sun, measured in astronomical units. Additionally, Jupiter's rotation exerts the largest magnetic field amongst other planets, specifically 20 percent more than Earth. Jupiter's largest moon also has its own magnetic field, in contrast to Jupiter's remaining 61 moons, as reported by NASA. Jupiter is the second brightest planet viewed from Earth's sky, after Venus.

Lanthanum gallium silicate (refer to as LGS in the article), also known as langasite, has a chemical formula of , where A, B, C and D indicate particular cation sites. A is a decahedral (Thomson cube) site coordinated by 8 oxygen atoms. B is octahedral site coordinated by 6 oxygen atoms, and C and D are tetrahedral sites coordinated by 4 oxygen atoms. In this material, lanthanum occupied the A-sites, gallium the B, C and half of D-sites, and, silicon the other half of D-sites. The crystal structure is shown below:
LGS is a piezoelectric material, with no phase transitions up to its melting point of 1470 °C. Single crystal LGS can be grown via Czochralski method, in which crystallization is initiated on a rotating seed crystal lowered into the melt followed by pulling from the melt. The growth atmosphere is usually argon or nitrogen with up to 5% of oxygen. The use of oxygen in the growth environment is reported to suppress gallium loss from the melt; however, too high an oxygen level can lead to platinum (crucible material used for the melt) dissolution in the melt. The growth of LGS is primarily along the Z-direction. Currently the 3-inch (76 mm) langasite boules produced commercially have growth rates of 1.5 to 5 mm/h. The quality of the crystals tends to improve as the growth rate is reduced.

Horse Racing in Australia A Deep Dive into the Sport
Horse racing is one of the most popular sports in Australia, attracting millions of fans and bettors each year. The country has a long and rich history with the sport, and its racing industry is considered one of the best in the world. In this article, we will delve into the world of horse racing in Australia, exploring its history, major events, and the current state of the sport.
A Brief History of Horse Racing in Australia
The origins of horse racing in Australia can be traced back to the early 19th century, when the first official race was held in Sydney in 1810. However, the sport really took off in the mid-1800s, when the first major racing clubs were established in Victoria and New South Wales. These clubs were responsible for organizing races, setting rules, and regulating the sport.
In the late 1800s and early 1900s, horse racing became increasingly popular in Australia, with major events like the Melbourne Cup and the Caulfield Cup drawing huge crowds. The sport continued to grow throughout the 20th century, with the introduction of new technologies like the photo finish camera and the starting gate, which helped to make races more fair and accurate.
Today, horse racing is a thriving industry in Australia, with hundreds of races held each year and millions of dollars in prize money up for grabs. The sport is also a major contributor to the Australian economy, generating billions of dollars in revenue and providing jobs for thousands of people.
Major Horse Racing Events in Australia
Australia is home to some of the biggest and most prestigious horse racing events in the world, drawing top horses and jockeys from around the globe. Here are some of the major events to look out for:
The Melbourne Cup is Australia’s most famous and prestigious horse race, held annually on the first Tuesday of November. It is a handicap race for horses aged three years and older, and is run over a distance of 3,200 meters at the Flemington Racecourse in Melbourne.
The race has a long and storied history, dating back to 1861. It is known as “the race that stops a nation,” with millions of Australians tuning in to watch the event each year. The Melbourne Cup is also a major social occasion, with many people dressing up in their finest clothes and attending parties and events to celebrate the race.
The Caulfield Cup is another major horse race in Australia, held annually in October at the Caulfield Racecourse in Melbourne. It is a handicap race for horses aged three years and older, and is run over a distance of 2,400 meters.
The race has been held since 1879 and is considered one of the most prestigious events in Australian racing. It attracts top horses from around the world and is known for its tough and challenging course.
The Cox Plate is a weight-for-age race held annually at the Moonee Valley Racecourse in Melbourne. It is considered one of the toughest races in Australia, with horses aged three years and older running over a distance of 2,040 meters.
The race has been held since 1922 and is named after William Samuel Cox, who founded the Moonee Valley Racing Club. It is known for its electric atmosphere and has produced some of the most memorable moments in Australian racing history.
The Golden Slipper is Australia’s premier horse race for two-year-olds, held annually at the Rosehill Gardens Racecourse in Sydney. It is a sprint race run over a distance of 1,200 meters and is worth over $3.5 million in prize money.
The race has been held since 1957 and is
The Everest is a relatively new horse racing event in Australia, having only been introduced in 2017. It is a weight-for-age race held annually at the Royal Randwick Racecourse in Sydney, and is run over a distance of 1,200 meters. The event has quickly become one of the most prestigious and richest horse races in Australia, with a prize purse of $15 million.
One unique aspect of The Everest is that it is an invitation-only race, with 12 slots available for horses to compete. Owners and trainers bid for the slots, with the highest bidders securing a spot in the race. The event has attracted some of the best sprinters from around the world, and has quickly become a highlight of the Australian racing calendar.
Queen Elizabeth Stakes
The Queen Elizabeth Stakes is a weight-for-age race held annually at the Royal Randwick Racecourse in Sydney. It is one of the richest horse races in Australia, with a prize purse of $4 million. The event is named in honor of Queen Elizabeth II, who visited Australia in 1954 and 1970.
The race has been held since 1851, making it one of the oldest horse races in Australia. It is run over a distance of 2,000 meters, and attracts top horses from around the world.
The Championships is a two-day horse racing event held annually at the Royal Randwick Racecourse in Sydney. It features a range of top-quality races, including the Queen Elizabeth Stakes, the Doncaster Mile, and the Australian Derby.
The event was introduced in 2014 and has quickly become one of the highlights of the Australian racing calendar. It attracts top horses from around the world, and has a total prize purse of over $20 million.
The State of Horse Racing in Australia Today
Horse racing is a major industry in Australia, generating billions of dollars in revenue and providing jobs for thousands of people. However, the sport has also faced its fair share of challenges and controversies in recent years.
One of the biggest challenges facing the industry is the issue of animal welfare. Horse racing has come under scrutiny for the treatment of horses, particularly in relation to the use of whips and the high rates of injury and death on the track.
In response to these concerns, the Australian racing industry has implemented a range of measures to improve horse welfare. These include stricter rules around the use of whips, increased funding for research into injury prevention, and the introduction of new technologies like track surfaces and starting gates to improve safety.For more articles visit in postblog.

(1929 - 2020)
John Davis Lee grew up working on his family farm with his seven siblings. At age 17, he enlisted in the Army to join his brothers fighting in WWII. After the war, thanks to the G.I. Bill, he attended Stetson University in Florida, graduated from East Tennessee State University where he was student body president, and graduated from the University of Tennessee College of Law where he was president of the student bar association. J.D. liked to joke, "I graduated second in my law school class of three students!" In 1954, while still a law student, J.D. was elected as a delegate to the Tennessee Constitutional Convention.
Always a hard worker and someone who genuinely liked people, J.D. opened his first law office in Madisonville, Tennessee. J.D. was the epitome of the Southern gentlemen lawyer. Early in his career, he successfully sued railroad companies on behalf of people injured or killed by trains. As early as the 1960s, he was a pioneer in bringing lawsuits against big tobacco companies on behalf of people injured or killed by cigarette smoke. J.D. developed a national reputation as a skillful litigator who won record-setting verdicts for his clients in medical malpractice and product liability cases. In 1978, he ran for the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate. He was also part of a group of lawyers who represent the victims in lawsuits against Iran and others who assisted the perpetrators of the September 11 terror attacks.
J.D. was a great storyteller and was admired and loved by all. Once in Knoxville a motion was being heard before Judge Taylor who was sharing his disdain to those present for the amount demanded in the case when J.D. walked into the courtroom. Judge Taylor looked up and loudly stated, "And it's all your fault Mr. Lee!" J.D. had no idea what the judge was talking about, but smiling he responded, "Yes, your Honor."
Always adventurous, J.D. was an accomplished pilot, horseman, and an avid outdoorsman who began running marathons in his 70s. At age 70, he hiked the Appalachian Trail straight through from Georgia to Maine and then, at age 75, was selected by Levi's to model their jeans.

The N&O’s former cartoonist just couldn’t sit out this legislative session, not with all the fun things to draw. He’ll be offering his view every Sunday in The N&O during the session. Here’s this week’s cartoon (click it to enlarge it).
We have a rule against publishing Points of View submissions from elected officials, so you won't find this in the paper. But here's a look at the reasons four lawmakers – two Democrats and two Republicans – sponsored House Bill 944 or the Opportunity Scholarship Act.
The New York Times in an editorial today endorsed President Obama's choice of North Carolina's Mel Watt to lead the Federal Housing Finance Agency. Here's what the Times had to say:
Look for great deals at Kroger this week on produce, including green beans, zucchini, red potatoes, several apple varieties, and greens -- all for 99 cents per pound.
There's also a 50 percent off sale on Perdue boneless chicken breasts.
And a sad reminder: This week is the last to take advantage of double coupons at Kroger. The chain will no longer double coupons in North Carolina, Virginia and West Virginia as of May 12.
Keep reading for this week's top deals at Triangle-area Kroger stores -- with coupons and without.
Under the provided headline "More Federal Cooperation Is Needed To Unleash North Carolina’s Economy," Gov. Pat McCrory offers these thoughts before he heads to Houston on Monday for a governors' Outer-Continental Shelf meeting.
By Gov. Pat McCrory
To get North Carolina moving forward again, our administration is concentrating on reforms in three fundamental areas: the economy, education and efficiency. We’re making great progress on some complex long-term problems, but on two critical issues – health care and energy – we’re going to need the federal government’s cooperation.
On Monday, I will participate in a panel of Outer-Continental Shelf governors on the need to expand offshore energy exploration. In February during a White House visit, I asked President Obama directly to expand offshore leasing off the coasts of North Carolina, Virginia and South Carolina. He told me the issue is being reviewed.
The time for delay is over. It’s time to get off the sidelines and allow the states to exert the leadership that will create thousands of jobs, reduce America’s dependence on Middle Eastern oil and protect the environment. The federal government must form a more cooperative partnership with the states so that more Americans – especially North Carolinians - can get back on the payroll.
There are estimates that opening up the Atlantic shores to energy exploration could create up to 140,000 new jobs during the next 20 years. These are good-paying jobs that will allow families to save and build an economic future.
There’s real-world evidence of energy’s economic contributions as well. North Dakota enjoys the nation’s lowest unemployment rate at 3.3 percent (March 2013). Much of North Dakota’s economic success can be attributed to investments made in energy exploration on private and state lands. Growth has been so robust that energy production has surpassed agriculture as the state’s largest economic sector.
Offshore energy exploration would also provide significant returns to the public sector. Under a bipartisan plan recently introduced in the U.S. Senate, North Carolina would receive at least 27.5 percent of royalties and other energy revenue from lease sales off our coast. An additional 10 percent could be earned by making land-side investments in conservation and renewable energy projects. North Carolina could use the money. We have a long list of needs. Energy revenue could be used for additional investments in education, transportation and health care.
Federal cooperation is vital on another issue that deeply affects North Carolina – Medicaid.
Last week, we received news that Medicaid budget overruns from Gov. Bev Perdue’s administration will total $248 million, twice what was originally expected. The unpredictability of Medicaid costs and its adverse impact on the entire state budget is reason alone for reform.
However, budgetary concerns are not the prime reason we’re overhauling North Carolina’s Medicaid program. We’re pursuing reform so we can take better care of our fellow citizens. Our plan centers on the patient’s well-being, not just physical needs. We would like to provide mental health and substance abuse coverage. Our plan also calls for coordination with social service providers so that nonmedical needs that contribute to the patient’s healing process can be delivered. Our reform goals are simple. We want to do everything we can to get the Medicaid patient healthy sooner and provide him with avenues that will lead to a long-term, healthier life.
To implement this holistic approach, we’ll need a waiver from Washington. I hope the president approves this unconventional approach so we can take care of our Medicaid patients in a caring, comprehensive manner while at the same time reducing costs to the taxpayer.
Medicaid reform and energy are just two issues where the federal government needs to join North Carolina in solving problems that affect people’s everyday lives. I hope the president adopts our view that government must be a partner - not an adversary - to progress.
By working together, we can get North Carolina and the nation back on the right track by simply unleashing the unlimited potential of our people.
This formula has worked before. I guarantee it will work again.
Charlotte Observer editorial page editor Taylor Batten had a blog post this week on the interesting way some bills are moving through committees:
Triangle grocery stores have lots of good deals this week:
*At Harris Teeter, check out the dozens of BOGO deals. Paired with coupons, many of them are a terrific deal, including Quaker cereal for 69 cents per box, Smart Balance milk for 59 cents per half gallon and Finish Gelpacs for $1.64 per box. Without coupons, score Skippy peanut butter for $1.74.
*At Lowes Foods, be sure to check out the great deals on Ball Park hot dogs and Sanderson Farms chicken breasts, along with Mrs. Paul's fish, Wholly Salsa and California Olive Oil. There are also several opportunities to earn gasoline rewards.
*At Food Lion, there are good deals on boneless chicken breast (just $1.79 per pound), along with some nice produce deals, including 20-cent limes, 50-cent cucumbers, 59-cents-per-pound sweet potatoes, 79-cent mangoes and 79-cents-per-pound Roma tomatoes.
*And at Aldi, pick up avocados for 59 cents each, along with mangos and heads of lettuce for just 69 cents each.
Keep reading for a long list of this week's top deals at Harris Teeter, Lowes Foods, Food Lion and Aldi -- with and without coupons.
Here's an interesting letter about private school costs in Wake County and school vouchers from Karl Gaskins in Raleigh. It's too long for print but worth a read.
I googled private schools wake county. There were 83 results listed on one site. After I eliminated those that were nursery-kindergarten enterprises, I essayed to discover what tuitions were charged by the remainder. I was able to find, online, tuition information for about 43 schools, with a total enrollment of 16,473. I listed their tuition for the youngest elementary grade class they offered. I separated them into two groups: below $10,000 tuition (35 schools) and above $10,000 tuition (eight schools). Here is what I discovered:
Of the 35 under $10,000 schools, eight were less than $5,000, but not by much. They averaged $4,186. Enrollment was 1,289, or 7.8 percent of total.
The schools under $10,000 averaged $6,104. Not $4,900 as claimed by voucher supporters.
The schools over $10,000 averaged $15,998.
Tuition is not the only expense you encounter at a private school. Here are numbers published by one Christian school I examined:
New Student Application $100.
Resource Fee $480.
Capital Fee $360.
New Family Fee $500.
That’s over $8,000. For the first year.
Transportation to and from most schools is not provided.
There are unpaid efforts being made by teachers and others in many public schools in this state to package foodstuffs for some kids to take home for the weekend, because they would otherwise have little or nothing to eat until Monday when they get their breakfast at school. No one at home is making sure they do their homework. No one at home cares how they do at school.
What good is a $4,200 voucher to one of these kids? If the people they live with can’t or won’t keep them from going hungry, what is the likelihood they’ll come up with an average of $1,700 a year each, plus fees, to put them into private school and provide transportation for them to get there and back every day? There is not enough financial aid out there to offset this difference. What is the likelihood that these folks will start monitoring homework? What is the likelihood they’ll begin to encourage their kids to do well in school? Aren’t these the kids for whom a good education is most important, and most difficult to obtain, even when it’s “free”?
Many people further up the economic ladder would do everything they could to come up with the tuition difference, in hopes that their kids could get the most out of their education. But those kids are going to succeed in public school, because their parents are behind them and encouraging them and their teachers. These motivated parents and kids are critical to the success of public education. Their attitudes create and support the learning environment educators strive to provide.
I can’t think of any good reasons to reallocate resources from public schools to private schools. Characterizing this action as a business model in which competition is encouraged is cynical to the point of being venal. Encouraging the departure of motivated parents and students from public schools won’t make public schools more competitive. It will gut them. What football coach kicks his first string off the team and plays his third string because their less developed football knowledge, skills and motivation will enable them to perform better than the first string?
I am so old I attended segregated schools. Back then, private schools of any kind were few and far between, and were mostly either parochial schools or kindergartens. Do you remember when and why the big growth spurt in private schools across the South began? I certainly do. Lots of them called themselves Christian academies. Almost three-fourths of those schools I just looked at claim religious affiliation.
Vouchers aren’t for subsidizing better education for truly poor kids. They’re for subsidizing a second school system for the nice people, and for keeping those denizens of public schools who insist on being poor and ignorant exactly where they belong.
Look for great deals at Kroger this week on produce, including 99-cent pineapples, 99-cent blackberries and 99-cent-per-pound apples in several varieties.
There's also a nice deal on boneless chicken breasts for $1.99 per pound.
But the biggest Kroger news is the grocery chain's decision that it will no longer double coupons as of May 12. Read about Kroger's coupon policy change HERE.
Keep reading for this week's top deals at Triangle-area Kroger stores -- with coupons and without.
The Charlotte beer scene is growing so quickly it's hard to keep up. I wrote about this in a prior column -- and saw it first hand at last weekend's Hickory Hops Brew Festival. Most new brewery tents I visited had one thing in common: Charlotte.
A handful of Charlotte breweries are starting to appear more regularly in the Triangle. Beer Study in Chapel Hill is a good source for Olde Mecklenburg bottles and NoDa taps. Even the new Steel String Craft Brewery in Carrboro has a full slate of guest Charlotte taps for its opening, including Triple C. (More on Steel String in next week's column.)
To help get you up to speed, our colleague at the Charlotte Observer has a good primer of the seven breweries now in operation. Bookmark it for your next trip.

BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB)-
Tuesday afternoon was the first chance to hear from the Bills since wide receiver Anquan Boldin announced his retirement just 13 days after joining the franchise.
It was certainly a shock to lose the veteran to the locker room but everyone says they respect Boldin’s decision.
“That’s a healthy word for a lot of parts of life and this is a part of life that Anquan has decided to go on and be done with his playing career,” Head Coach Sean McDermott said. “That’s all part of becoming and transforming the young men on our football team that this is a part of life. We move forward and you do it with positive energy and an outlook for finding the next opportunity.”
“After being out for two weeks, he just figured I’m not all the way in it, I’m not emotionally all the way invested in it,” linebacker Lorenzo Alexander added. “One, obviously, he’s not going to be out there doing his best and two, I don’t think like he wants to feel like he’s letting us down, because if he’s not all the way in, you’re kind of letting your teammates down.”
“As a man and a player you have to respect his decision,” quarterback Tyrod Taylor added. “He’s still a good friend of mine, like I said before, you can’t predict the things that happened but you have to continue to keep your mind focused on the goal.”
With Watkins traded, Boldin retired and Matthews still working back from a chipped sternum, all eyes have turned to rookie Zay Jones who’s having a very unusual rookie preseason.
Jordan Matthews and Cordy Glenn both continued their limited participation in practice and McDermott said the pair is still on pace to play Week 1 against the Jets.

Aberdeen Asset Management has announced five of its funds are now available via the mFund settlement service.
Aberdeen Asset Management managing director Brett Jollie said mFund will contribute to helping investors achieve greater diversification of their self-directed investments.
“Our efforts to promote Aberdeen’s funds into this new market segment will assist in meeting this demand for ongoing investor education,” Mr Jollie said.
Aberdeen Asset Management said the mFund service will “complement” its existing strategy which relies on advisers and platforms to distribute more than 20 funds to Australian investors.
“The Aberdeen funds offered on the new service cover a range of asset classes – emerging market equities, Asian equities, global equities (including a hedged option) and diversified fixed income,” a statement from Aberdeen Asset Management said.
ASX head of customer and business development Ian Irvine said the mFund settlement service provides an opportunity for investors to access a broader range of investment assets in a familiar way.
“This can assist in achieving greater diversification, which in turn can help to manage portfolio risk,” Mr Irvine said.
Aberdeen Australia as of 30 June 2014 has a total of $17 billion in assets under management, while the Aberdeen Group, which has offices in 25 countries around the world, has over $584 billion in assets under management.
Several firms have been impacted by the corporate regulator’s action.
Super funds must now have a retirement income strategy in place.
Vanguard has called for a complete overhaul of the advice industry.

Master guitarist, singer and songwriter, Archie Fisher is Scotland’s foremost troubadour and is known throughout the country as the host of BBC Radio Scotland’s award-winning “Travelling Folk” show, which he has been presenting for over 25 years. Recognized for his contributions to Scottish folk music, he was inducted into the Scots Traditional Music Hall of Fame and in 2006 was awarded an MBE (Member of the British Empire), a prestigious honor nominated by his peers and bestowed by Queen Elizabeth.
Archie was born in Glasgow into a large singing family, which yielded three professional singers—Archie and his sisters Ray and Cilla Fisher. Constant music combined with his father’s appreciation of many musical styles (opera, vaudeville, traditional ballads) proved to be a heavy influence on Archie’s music while his mother, a native Gaelic speaker from the Outer Hebrides, was a strong influence on the lyrical quality of his songwriting. Archie first became interested in folk music through the Skiffle era of the late 1950’s under the influences of performers such as Lonnie Donegan and Johnny Duncan. Later, the recording of the Weavers at Carnegie Hall also had a profound effect on his approach to music and his political outlook. During the TV folk boom of the 1960’s and 70’s he appeared regularly with his younger sister Ray in magazine programs and the BBC Hootenanny series. He was based in Edinburgh at the time in the contemporary company of musicians such as Robin Williamson, Clive Palmer and Mike Heron (who together formed the original Incredible String Band) and was an early guitar colleague of Bert Jansch.
Archie’s first self-titled album was recorded in 1968 with the fiddle and mandolin of John McKinnon and whistle player John Doonan. During the mid 1970’s he formed a long-term partnership with Dundee musician Allan Barty, which was later grafted on to the revived pairing of Tommy Makem and Liam Clancy. As well as performing as a backing musician and arranger for the Makem and Clancy duo, he also produced a series of albums with them. Meanwhile, Archie got involved in record production with the dynamic Scottish band Silly Wizard. During the 1980’s he turned his attention to freelance radio work and originated several series of documentary programs with his local station Radio Tweed. He then returned to the recording studio during what he describes as one of his most creative songwriting periods. It was around this time that he began a partnership with Canadian songwriter Garnet Rogers. They toured throughout North America together, and Garnet produced several of his albums including his highly acclaimed album Sunsets I’ve Galloped Into, which was released on Red House Records in 1995. Following the success of that release, Archie toured throughout North America, playing with John Renbourn and Bert Jansch.
More than 10 years after the project was first started, Archie released his long-awaited new CD Windward Away, a collection of introspective ballads that evoke the wild and rough beauty of the Scottish Border country. While working on this album, Archie discovered a copy of an old recording he made in the late 1970’s while working with Tommy Makem and Liam Clancy. Although several songs on this missing master had been recorded on other Archie Fisher albums, this missing master had never seen the light of day. Because he believed these recordings represented an important period in his music, he felt they were worthy of inclusion as bonus tracks to the CD. Together Windward Away and The Missing Master represent more than 28 years of Archie’s distinguished writing and singing career.
In a darkened bedroom, lit only by the amber glow from an old floor model radio, two young brothers aged 6 and 12 lay in their beds, listening to the country music broadcasts from the Grand Ol’ Opry, and practiced their harmonies. Two years later, the youngest one was playing the definitive 8-year-old’s version of “Desolation Row” on his ukulele. He soon abandoned that instrument to teach himself the flute, violin and guitar.
Within ten years, and barely out of high school, Garnet Rogers was on the road as a full-time working musician with his older brother Stan. Together they formed what has come to be accepted as one of the most influential acts in North American folk music.
Since then, Garnet Rogers has established himself as ‘One of the major talents of our time”. Hailed by the Boston Globe as a “charismatic performer and singer”, Garnet is a man with a powerful physical presence – close to six and a half feet tall – with a voice to match. With his “smooth, dark baritone” (Washington Post) his incredible range, and thoughtful, dramatic phrasing, Garnet is widely considered by fans and critics alike to be one of the finest singers anywhere. His music, like the man himself, is literate, passionate, highly sensitive, and deeply purposeful. Cinematic in detail, his songs “give expression to the unspoken vocabulary of the heart” (Kitchener Waterloo Record). An optimist at heart, Garnet sings extraordinary songs about people who are not obvious heroes and of the small victories of the everyday. As memorable as his songs, his over-the-top humour and lightning-quick wit moves his audience from tears to laughter and back again.
“Garnet Rogers is capable of awe-inspiring and unpredictable stuff – and that includes more than just music”
Resolutely independent, Garnet Rogers has turned down offers from major labels to do his music his own way.

I’ve never been in business class on any airplane, but I’m told it’s pretty nice. You’re not wedged between two or more people with little or no elbow room, the seats are more comfortable, there’s more leg room, and, best of all, you get free drinks. There’s even – on some airlines, at least – cute little cocktail trays that fold down unobtrusively so that you can set your drink to the side without having your space impeded by the awkwardly-sized food trays they have in economy seating. Very cool. (It’s the little things.)
Air New Zealand is pretty focused on those cocktail trays right now – after all, they are an important part of the flight experience. (They would be for me, anyway.) When a tray breaks, the entire seat is out of commission until the tray can be replaced, which can be a surprisingly long time. It’s the same issue that plagues thousands of companies – when you depend on an outside manufacturer for parts, you’re stuck waiting for as long as it takes for that manufacturer to create and ship a new one. This is why more and more companies are turning to 3D printing as a way to produce their own parts, instantly and as-needed.
Air New Zealand has decided to take a step forward into 3D printing for the manufacture of their cocktail trays. Again, while the miniature trays may not seem terribly significant, an airline can’t put a passenger in a seat where anything at all is broken, even if it’s not directly safety-related. This is particularly true in business class, where customers fully expect to benefit from all the perks they (or their employers) paid extra for. In fact, depending on the layout of the seating, one broken cocktail tray can actually put three seats out of commission for weeks at a time, resulting in thousands of dollars of lost profit.
Amazing that something so small can cause so much trouble, right? Air New Zealand has decided to cut out the middleman and begin manufacturing their own cocktail trays using 3D printing, which they have been working on with help from the Auckland University of Technology. The trays are the first step; the airline will likely begin replacing other parts within their cabins with 3D printed parts in the near future.
“Aircraft interiors are made up of tens of thousands of parts,” said Bruce Parton, Chief Operations Officer for Air New Zealand. “Not only can’t we hold stock of every replacement part we might need, we often only require a small number of units which can be really expensive to produce using traditional manufacturing methods and can involve frustrating delays while a replacement part is delivered. A big advantage of 3D printing is that it allows us to make cost-effective lightweight parts ourselves, and to do so quickly without compromising on safety, strength or durability.”
The airline expects to install the 3D printed trays in the next few weeks; they’ve completed fireproof testing and are now just waiting for final regulatory approval. Air New Zealand will be joining a growing number of airlines that are starting to incorporate 3D printed parts into their planes; the most notable right now is Airbus, whose new A350 XWB aircraft contains over 1,000 3D printed parts. We may yet see that 100% 3D printed plane before too long.
Check out the video below detailing Air NZ’s plans for the 3D printed cocktail trays. What do you think of these changes for the airlines? Discuss in the 3D Printed Cocktail Trays forum over at 3DPB.com.
