First “Train the Trainers” workshop on eco-driving of trolleybuses was held in Salzburg
The workshop was part of the European project “ACTUATE - Advanced Training and Education for Safe Eco-driving of Clean Vehicles” and took place in Salzburg on 7 May 2014.
After the first successful <link http: actuate-ecodriving.eu>ACTUATE trainings, trainers from Linz, Esslingen, Solingen and Eberwalde were invited to Salzburg for further education and information exchange. The workshop was organized by the ACTUATE partner Salzburg AG, one of the largest troleybus
companies in Europe. The knowledge exchange primarily focused on:
- Explanation and background information for the development of the training programme and the training materials on eco-driving for trolleybuses
- Introduction to the training materials, the first results in terms of energy savings and feedback from the trained drivers
- Introduction to the specific driver training, including one brief test training per participant
- Final round to gather feedback on the training programme on eco-driving for trolleybuses and to discuss possible cooperation.
The trainers were surprised by the energy savings potential, which amounts to approximately 10 % in test operations during the practical part of the “Train-the-Trainers” workshop. More workshops are planned for Italian and Czech trolleybus partner companies in future
within the ACTUATE project.

Dantewada, Chhattisgarh, Jan 4 (UNI) Nearly 3,000 tribals, housed in a state government run relief camp in naxalite infested Bastar region, are on the verge of starvation due to non-supply of foodgrains and even salt during the last one month, officials said today.
As many as 2,911 tribals, belonging to five villages, were given shelter in the relief camp located about 130 km from here in Jagargunda sub-tahsil, one of the backward region worst affected by naxalism.
Official sources said supply of food grains, salt and other essentials to the relief camp could not be maintained properly during the last one month in the absence of security arrangements.
''The tribals, including about 400 children, are forced to eat leaves, roots and wild fruits'', an official said on condition of anonymity, adding that earlier food stock required for about two months was delivered at the relief camp and they used this stock for about four months.
Food grains and other essentials have to be brought to the relief camp under tight security cover as the Maoist rebels were opposing supply of food grains to the relief camps.The present situation arose as the security forces were not available to escort those who bring food grains to the relief camp.
About 400 tribal children in the relief camp are the worst hit. Twelve Anganwadi centres are attached to the relief camp where there are 60 Anganwadi assistants and workers. Most of these children are suffering from skin diseases like itching and other problems.
The situation of the security personnel, guarding the Jagargunda relief camp, is no different for the last 20 days as their food stock has been exhausted, the sources added.
Earlier, food grains and other essentials for them were brought to the relief camp by a helicopter available with the state police. But, the arrangement could not continue as the chopper developed a technical snag and is under repair for the last 20 days.
Except the security personnel, nobody from any other government department is present in Jagargunda sub-tahsil region.
More than 58,000 people are residing in 17 relief camps being run by the state government in South Bastar region since last three years after they deserted their native villages following threat from the Maoists.
Trouble for these tribals began in June 2005, when a group of local people launched ''Salwa Judum'', a movement against the rebels, asking the people to keep themselves aloof from the Maoists and to isolate them in the villages. The Naxalites retaliated with violence against people participating in Salwa Judum rallies and meetings, forcing more than 58,000 people to take shelter in the relief camps.

Five years ago, Migos burst onto the hip-hop scene with their viral hit “Versace.” Quavo was quickly crowned the group’s frontman by the public, with catchy ad-libs accompanying his braggadocios rhymes, potent songwriting, and just an appealing swag the genre hadn’t seen before. Standout features then began to pile up on Huncho’s decorated resume, quickly showing that the ATL native was here to stay.
The 27-year-old has used that momentum to springboard the Migos into mainstream stardom and vast commercial success. In 2017 alone, Culture debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and the anthemic Lil Uzi Vert-assisted single “Bad and Boujee” also topped the Billboard Hot 100. Quavo didn’t stop there, as the Atlanta native landed on DJ Khaled‘s no. 1 single “I’m the One,” and closed out the year with the bouncy Huncho Jack, Jack Huncho joint project with frequent collaborator Travis Scott.
The tidal wave continued for the Migos, who proved to be much more than a one-man band, as Offset and Takeoff rose to prominence and shined bright with moments of their own. The latter found his pocked on the group’s second No. 1 with 2018’s Culture sequel and Offset’s mainstream appeal bubbled courtesy of his relationship with Cardi B, in addition to a fiery collab album alongside Metro Boomin’ and 21 Savage in Without Warning.
With the other Migos members catching up to Quavo in popularity, the buzz seemingly cooled off regarding the public’s demand of a Huncho solo album. The rapper-producer kicked off Huncho season by unveiling his Quavo Huncho solo album at the top of August, with the release of a triad of solo tracks in “Workin Me,” “Bubble Gum,” and “Lamb Talk.”
After a soft release date of September came and went, Huncho officially announced that his anticipated solo debut would finally drop on Oct. 12.
Here are five things we want to see his Quavo Huncho solo venture.
For Him to Precisely Enlist a Stacked Lineup Of Features
Quavo has nurtured his industry relationships after serving up show-stealing assists on a range of rap and pop records throughout his career. Whether it’s a euphonious hook or a bubbly verse, Huncho can hold his own alongside just about anyone on a track. At the onset of October, the triplet leader teased a handwritten list of features for Quavo Huncho, raising anticipation for the effort (Oct. 1).
The potentially star-studded affair includes Migos brothers Takeoff and Offset, rumored girlfriend Saweetie, as well as Drake, Cardi B, 21 Savage, Huncho Jack’s Travis Scott, Davido, Quality Control running mate Lil Baby, and even Kid Cudi. Fans are very intrigued at how the always-innovative Quavo will put the robust cast to use. The possibilities are endless; Huncho could even reunite “Sicko Mode” collaborators Drizzy and La Flame for a mouthwatering collab.
A Tease Of His Relationship With Saweetie
One of hip-hop’s most sought after bachelors has been superb at surreptitiously keeping his relationships out of the limelight. Outside of a short run with Karrueche in 2017 and Iggy Azalea rumors, it’s been mum on Quavo’s side when iot comes to high-profile industry love interests. TheShadeRoom then reported that the Migos frontman is dating burgeoning Bay Area native Saweetie, who he tapped to star in his sultry “Workin Me” visual, as of last month (Sept. 9).
The 27-year-old was highly complimentary of Saweetie during a recent interview, calling her “beautiful” on Hot 97. The “Icy Grl” rapper returned the favor during a live appearance on The Real (Sept. 26), blushingly admitting she “enjoys his company” with a smile.
With Saweetie appearing on the previously mentioned feature list, the idea of a seductive track from the reported couple giving the public a taste of their private life sounds enticing. The potentially sensual cut would serve as a righteous change of pace in breaking up the cyclical project, branching off from Quavo’s usual saucy rhymes about his love for icy jewelry, sports, and money getting ways.
A Concise Track List
Culture and Huncho Jack actually only contained 13 songs each, so the possibility of a compact track listing for Quavo Huncho may be in the cards, too. HJJH lacked the proper punch of a joint album of that magnitude, taking away from its inherent replay value; it seemed to get gobbled up by the glut of music released at the turn of last year. Less is more: Quavo needs to avoid the filler and make sure every song brings something fresh to his solo debut.
A Heavy Reliance On Pharrell and Murda Beatz Production
Quavo fancies himself as somewhat of a sonic architect, willing to assist in producing on many of the records that end up making albums for the Migos and others. Since the 27-year-old is going solo for the moment, Huncho should use the opportunity to bring along some of the beat maestros that have played a role in his rise in order to lay the sonic foundation behind his solo venture. Murda Beatz and Quavious’ rapport is well-documented, and the Canadian producer was the mastermind behind the project’s lead single “Workin Me.”
The Migos also connected with Pharrell for Culture II‘s standout “Stir Fry,” and Quavo should continue to feed off of The Neptunes producer’s eclectic prowess. Huncho was already spotted in the studio earlier in October with Skateboard P, a great sign of what we could eventually discover on Quavo Huncho. With fellow ATL native Buddha Bless and Quality Control’s DJ Durel also involved, Quavo’s solo debut should boast an all-star supporting cast, all while remaining a family affair with chemistry at the forefront.

For Him to Parlay His Lethal Songwriting Into a Conceptual Album
Quavo is just too talented a songwriter and music technician to be let off the hook for Huncho Jack’s lack of refined creative direction and developed concepts, acting as more of a playlist than a full-length project. This is Huncho’s chance to be selfish and exercise his creative freedom without having to convince Takeoff or Offset to get on the same page as the Migos leader. Everyone knows the “Bubble Gum” rapper can make dope songs, but it remains to be seen if he can weave those tracks into a well-curated masterpiece, serving as the lone CEO of the entire operation.
Quavo has already shown the capability of make a living on the Billboard charts with ease (nine solo and Migos tracks combined have found their way into the Hot 100‘s top 10). If Quavo Huncho receives the wide-spread critic acclaim he’s yearning for, MigoMania will be running wild into territory many didn’t think was possible just two years ago. “If I make myself a great artist by doing this, it only makes our group super, super huge. It makes the demand even bigger and better,” Quavo told GQ of his hopes for a Migos empire.

In G4S Tech. LLC vs. Mass. Tech. Park Corp., SJC-12397, -- N.E.2d --, (Mass. June 13, 2018) the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts clarified that to recover under the contract itself “complete and strict performance requirements” only applies to the provisions regarding “the design and construction work," but that for breaches of other provisions ordinary contract principles of materiality control. The Supreme Judicial Court also overturned a line of cases that established the rule that intentional violations of contract provisions “precluded a finding of good faith to fully perform,” barring quantum meruit claims. The Supreme Judicial Court articulated its new rule, “that intentional breaches, even those involving material breaches, alone are not dispositive of the right to equitable relief, at least when such breaches do not relate to the construction work itself.”
This contract dispute arose from a construction project to build a fiber optic network spanning 1,200 miles and 123 communities throughout western and central Massachusetts. Massachusetts Technology Park Corporation (MTPC) received funding for this project from both state and federal government funding. MTPC awarded G4S Tech. LLC (G4S) the design-build project for a total contract value of $45.5 million. Due to restraints imposed by the federal government based on its funding, the project had to be completed within a certain period of time. Thus the contract had several provisions regarding G4S’s liability and responsibility for not completing specified portions of the project by specific deadlines. The project was completed over one year after the specified project deadline, however, the facts are disputed as to whether GS4 or MTPC was at fault for the delay. Due to the delays in completion, MTPC refused to pay G4S the last $4 million owed under the contract, withholding the amount as liquidated damages for the delays. Further, MTPC later discovered that G4S violated a provision requiring that the subcontractors be paid on time, instead G4S delayed paying subcontractors until after their fiscal quarters closed, to show “a more favorable cash flow in its quarterly reports.” G4S brought claims under breach of contract and quantum meruit theories, MTPC then brought a fraud claim against G4S.
Massachusetts’s rule for performance of construction contract terms is “that a contractor cannot recover on the contract itself without showing complete and strict performance of all its terms…” G4S argued that this rule was outdated and the Supreme Judicial Court should adopt the “materiality rule” per the Restatement (Second) of Contracts. While the Supreme Judicial Court declined a wholesale adoption of the Restatement, it did clarify that this rule is limited only to “the design and construction work” and that other provisions “should be analyzed pursuant to ordinary contract principles, including the materiality standard[.]" That said, in this case, the complete and strict performance requirement controlled because “paying subcontractors on time was an essential and inducing feature of the contract between MTPC and G4S.” The Court noted that a public works project "prompt" payment is a "legislative purpose" and the Recovery Act's purpose, under which this project was funded, was to maximize jobs and improve the economy. By not properly paying the subcontractors, G4S was clearly frustrating that purpose. The Supreme Judicial Court subsequently upheld the trial court’s granting of summary judgment to MTPC as to the contract claim.
Turning to G4S’s quantum meruit claim, historically, a line of Massachusetts cases supported the rule that “[g]enerally, ‘[i]n the absence of special exculpating circumstances and intentional departure from the precise requirements of the contract is not consistent with good faith in the endeavor fully to perform it, and unless such departure is so trifling as to fall within the rule de minimis, it bars all recovery.’” The Supreme Judicial Court decided, after sources have long criticized and questioned the rule, that “intentional breaches, even those involving material breaches, alone are not dispositive of the right to equitable relief, at least when such breaches do not relate to the construction work itself.” Under this new rule, the Supreme Judicial Court reversed the granting of summary judgment to MTPC as to the quantum meruit claim due to disputed factual questions as to which party caused the delay in completion of the project.
Lastly, the Supreme Judicial Court reversed the trial court’s decision to dismiss MTPC’s fraud claim under a duplicative damages analysis. The Supreme Judicial Court determined that there were “separable and distinguishable acts forming the basis of recovery under the breach of contract and fraud claims.” Accordingly, the Supreme Judicial Court remanded the quantum meruit and fraud claims to the Superior Court.

Google made an announcement Monday that will send ripples throughout the technology industry for years to come—even if it sounds like gobbledygook to the average person.
The company said in a blog post that it has built a new machine-learning system called “TensorFlow” and that it will make the software open-source, so that others can use and build on it.
That’s important for at least two reasons.
First, machine-learning algorithms are increasingly at the core of Google’s technology. I’ve written before that Google is no longer a search company—it’s a machine-learning company. What’s machine learning, you might ask? My colleague David Auerbach recently wrote a very nice column explaining the concept and its growing importance. In the simplest terms, you can think of it as software that makes inferences based on data and can learn from its mistakes.
TensorFlow is already powering nifty Google features like speech recognition in the Google app, “smart reply” in the Inbox app, and the surprisingly powerful search function in the Google Photos app. (Search for “dogs” and it will attempt to show you all the photos in your library that have dogs in them. Oh, but maybe don’t search for “gorillas.”)
It’s also built to tackle more abstract, science-fiction-y challenges. TensorFlow is the successor to Google’s vaunted research-grade machine-learning infrastructure, called DistBelief. That system was responsible for such achievements as DeepDream—the subject of another excellent Auerbach explainer—and a computer network that taught itself to identify cats on YouTube. In a post on its research blog, Google says TensorFlow is faster, more flexible, and easier to use than DistBelief. And whereas DistBelief was geared specifically toward one type of machine-learning software, called neural networks, TensorFlow is designed to accommodate different approaches.
Which brings me to the second reason the announcement is important: By making TensorFlow’s code open-source, Google is opening the door for companies and computer scientists around the world to implement cutting-edge machine-learning algorithms in their own products and research. As with many things Google does, this is at once altruistic and self-serving: It will help lots of people who are not Google, while at the same time helping to entrench Google’s approach to machine learning as an industry standard.
It’s fair to compare TensorFlow to Android, Google’s mobile operating system, which it has allowed smartphone and tablet developers to use in their own products. But a more instructive comparison might be MapReduce, the groundbreaking Google data-processing algorithm that has found an open-source implementation in Hadoop. It’s surely not a coincidence that both TensorFlow and MapReduce were developed in part by Google superprogrammer Jeff Dean. I profiled Dean in a 2013 Slate story that sought to explain how he became “the Chuck Norris of the Internet.” In short: He’s a wizard when it comes to simplifying problems of enormous complexity.
MapReduce and Hadoop helped to make “big data” a household phrase and a part of just about every Fortune 500 company’s strategy. TensorFlow could do much the same for machine learning.
Where MapReduce was about generating and processing data sets, TensorFlow is about harnessing them to build “smart” software programs that can do cool stuff. Machine learning already plays a role in applications ranging from Netflix recommendations to your Facebook feed to self-driving cars. In the years to come it will find an even broader range of applications—some ingenious, others inane. Google won’t pocket a check when people use TensorFlow to build their own machine-learning software. But rest assured it will find fresh ways to profit from a world in which yet another of its core technologies has become ubiquitous.

Jalupro is an absorbable sterile injectable solution used as a dermal bioactivator to improve skin texture and reduce the signs of wrinkles in facial skin;- in addition to physical or chemical treatments such as peels, laser therapy, dermabrasion, radiofrequency, dermal fillers, botulinum toxin, and so on.
Jalupro consists of two vials, each containing freeze-dried amino acids (glycine, L-proline, L-leucine, L-lysine) and two vials, each containing a mixture of sodium hyaluronate amino acids.
When to use Jalupro
– Photoaging and anti-aging of the face and body (mild and moderate);
– stretch marks;
– Prepare, improve and extend results for various cosmetic procedures;
– Before and after surgery.
Face, neck, shoulders, armpits, hands, thighs, abdomen, knee area.
The needle should be inserted along the wrinkle and then gradually retracted to release the product. After injection, if necessary, apply gentle massage to shape the area to be treated. It is important to inject enough material to completely correct the defect. In case of deep wrinkles or marks, it is necessary to inject the implant material in the central and deeper part of the reticular dermis to achieve good results.
Use Jalupro to significantly reduce skin wrinkles. In particular, the product has been shown to have excellent bioactivating properties and to improve the precursor signs of skin aging. This effectiveness grows over time and lasts 6 months.
Jalupro was well tolerated in all subjects, and treatment before sun exposure is ideal.

Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis, who announced earlier Wednesday he’d retire at the end of the season, has been a full participant in practice this week after he tore his right triceps in mid-October, and could potentially be suiting up for the final game of his NFL career on Sunday versus the Colts.
Lewis, who is the undisputed vocal, physical and spiritual leader of the Ravens, possesses a rare game-breaking ability for a defensive player, but is his presence enough to influence Sunday’s betting line?
“I do believe the Lewis announcement will provide an "inspirational boost" to the Ravens this Sunday,” says Covers Expert Brian Power. “However, I don’t feel his return would have an impact on the pointspread as far as linesmakers are concerned, but I could see the public betting the line to the key number of 7.”
The Ravens haven't played well in nearly two months and have suffered because of injuries to veterans like Lewis, Terrell Suggs and Ed Reed on the field. But when those three are in form this defense has been, over the past decade, one of the best in NFL history.
“Ray Lewis is worth 0 points to the spread, not even a hook," says Covers Expert Ted Sevransky. “Teams don't really need any extra motivation/emotion to win playoff games -- they've already got plenty. He's a tremendous leader in the locker room, but a 25-year-old Ray Lewis isn't going to magically show up in his 37-year-old body.”
The public is overwhelmingly siding with the Colts in this one, with nearly three of every four bets coming down on Indianapolis, according to Robert Ferringo of Doc's Sports. The line has already reached the key number of Ravens -7 at many Vegas books as of Thursday afternoon.


Early feedback from the WISE workshop on "teaching innovation" that we hosted yesterday at the Madeira School in DC for the leadership of the National Association of Independent Schools [NAIS] was very positive, and a fun time was had by all. It was a real pleasure to meet such highly motivated and capable school leaders, and have a chance to share the WISE mission with like-minded partners that all share our commitment to improve education across the United States.
Our afternoon workshop covered a broad range of topics, from a beginning discussion to frame innovation, creativity, discovery, and exploration in the context of education, to illuminate uniquely 21st century skills and educational challenges, to a hands-on workshop that embodied the most effective practices in fostering innovation developed over the last thirty years at the world's leading technical universities.
Teaching Students to Innovate in the 21st Century
By Dr. Phillip Alvelda
This workshop explored 21st Century STEM education challenges and opportunities, and demonstrate (with an extended hands-on technical challenge) the latest pedagogical and curricular strategies developed and refined over the last three decades at the world’s leading technical universities specifically to foster creativity and innovation. We further discussed how those strategies have proven effective when translated and adapted for K-12 students, typical challenges in implementation, and the extraordinary results that make such efforts more than worthwhile, and their material impact not only in the obviously related design and engineering disciplines, but across curricular boundaries from science and math to English and other liberal arts.
After a short training session to establish common language and goals and context, the participants were challenged to complete a novel design task using the new Lego Mindstorm EV3 robotics kits. It was wonderful to see every single collaborative group go from befuddlement at the myriad of unfamiliar parts and the new and complex software design tools, through a frenzy of creative activity, exploration and experimentation, to fully demonstrable working prototypes that incorporated complex gearing systems, driven motors and sensors, each one unique in design and presentation. It was a perfect example of how these techniques can educate deeply without direct lecture or instruction, while driving stronger engagement and explicitly fostering creativity, collaboration, and innovation.
I feel compelled to add that yesterday's group delivered a rather unusual performance, wherein every group in this workshop performed remarkably under severe time pressure, and with minimal mentorship proved successful. I left the event feeling that our nation's private school leadership is in good hands!
I'm hopeful that our efforts will lead to an expansion of these collaborative challenge based approaches across a broad set of new schools, and we can add a few more crusaders to our mission.
Onward and upward!

Critical international Relations theories CT developed as alternatives challenging these dominant paradigms, primarily Realism. Instead of taking the state as the given and only relevant unit of analysis, these theories imagine the possibility of many different states, many distinct identities. Apart from the issue of differences in sizes of the states, there are several other dimensional differences that characterize global politico-economic system. They are marginalised in terms of access to affordable and adequate housing. For example, the Solidarity and Development programme in Saida, Lebanon, an ECD programme targeted at children with disabilities, extended beyond the mere provision of services for disabled children to include community education and advocacy.
And they must have equal rights and equal opportunities as breadwinners, peace-builders and leaders. Bush not only emerged the victor, but did so in large part because voters judged him to be superior on foreign policy issues. Why Invest in Early Childhood Development? In fact, some critical voices towards import-substitution strategies were held as early as in the s, but they were not taken note of fast enough in development agenda of those days.
They must have control of resources, lands, and markets. In situations of inadequate nutrition, the body spontaneously ranks survival first and growth second and cognitive and brain development last. Yet although necessary, this does suffice to attain sustained dynamic growth. ECD programmes ensure a standard of health services and nutrition initiatives to children necessary to avoid many preventable diseases. Progress cannot be delivered in a vacuum.

It is almost impossible to compensate for the effects of denial of adequate nutrition, access to health care, education and psychosocial stimulation.
Thus, for example, Soviet Imperialist in post Eastern Europe and the westward expansion of the American colonies are described as typical example of a tendency of stronger states to extend their influence over weaker political units or into power of vacuums.
The roles, responsibilities and mandates of government institutions involved in biodiversity conservation and coastal development need clarification and harmonisation.
Constructivists also believe that social norms, shape Working for a better Namibia: Sectoral development programmes book change foreign policy over time rather then security which realists cite. Working with communities is one way of promoting necessary values, strengthening Working for a better Namibia: Sectoral development programmes book existing formal and informal networks of cooperation, and utilizing existing human, physical and monetary resources.
Through some PPP programmes, companies can directly contribute to donor and development agencies' development projects. Typically arguments against these cooperative measures are based on a pessimistic, realistic view of the world. Work on this is progressing well and will be completed in due course.
The study found that the incidence of mental retardation that is, of IQs measured at less than 70 was reduced by an average factor of 2. Harmonise institutional mandates and roles for integrated management of coastal zone One of the most important results of a Coastal Policy would be an Integrated Coastal Zone Management system for Namibia and the creation of the necessary management mechanisms and capacity.
Ohangwena Region - 27 of the primary schools have introduced pre-primary education. The latter has enough income to acquire a house through financial institutions.
The essential components of Realism are best summarized by Kenneth Waltz as: States are involved in unending struggle with each other, because that is the nature of state in an anarchic world; power is necessary to survive in it or to continue to fight; all states are potential enemies Waltz, 30 Liberal institutionalists believe that states can achieve security through construction of international regimes and structures.
The Coastal White Paper will be completed soon after, when it will be submitted to Cabinet for approval and endorsement. It facilitates and co-ordinates the participation and inputs from various stakeholders, which include the line ministries, regional councils, local authorities, civil society, sectoral stakeholders, and support organisations.
They were necessary but not always sufficient. According to the overwhelming majority of international relations IR scholars, the costs are very high. If implemented in an integrated manner, they should result in improved economic performance, thus enticing, at the political level, public support for market-oriented policies.
For Morgenthau, Communist ideology functioned much as various other ideologies which been wielded by expansionist powers to justify and legitimize policies of expansion. Another common example of the use of international relations in debate is the advocacy of disadvantages about geopolitics. For example, the Solidarity and Development programme in Saida, Lebanon, an ECD programme targeted at children with disabilities, extended beyond the mere provision of services for disabled children to include community education and advocacy.
Clarify legal and regulatory frame—-work for integrated coastal zone development planning The project has compiled and submitted recommendations on various options, which were distributed to its working groups among its stakeholders.
Additionally the quality of education, quality of teachers and the performance of learners is unsatisfactory.
This programme was subsequently given a two-year extension and will thus run until The comments were made at a conference in London, ahead of the publication of a new book by the Commonwealth Secretariat on trade fragmentation.
Good nutrition is also critical in avoiding and surviving childhood diseases. When the communication started in Septemberit focused on the policy formulation process, which subsequently extended to various other coastal issues and activities.
They must have control of resources, lands, and markets. We evaluate the key arguments that underlie this assessment, namely that increased US unilateralism will: 1 spur the formation of a coalition to Working for a better Namibia: Sectoral development programmes book U.
In this respect, there are indeed practical problems associated with ECD programming. The process will be led by the private sector of economy.
Finally, critical theorists are very concerned wit inability of Realism to explain major events in world politics such as the end of the Cold War and the two world wars. The Ministry is emphasising the importance and also improving on pro-active planning with regard to town and regional planning, review of policies and legislative framework which impede delivery of affordable and adequate housing.No No, but relevant programmes are under development Yes, some programmes are in place (please provide details below) X Yes, comprehensive programmes are in place (please provide details below) Further comments on the programmes to identify and adopt incentives for the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity.

For what reason You Need a Data Room
If you handle sensitive info, you may need a info room. These types of online storage space solutions will be secure and still provide more control over who has entry to information. You need to use them designed for internal and exterior collaboration and sharing. An information room may also help safeguard your business by hacking, phishing attacks and other types of security removes. It can also help you save time by keeping records organized and contained in an individual place instead of scattered throughout email threads.
Data bedrooms are used by simply investment banking institutions, legal companies and other businesses www.webdataroom.com/best-data-room-providers-2022/ that work with sensitive data. They may be designed to end up being secure, simple to operate and adhere to stringent security protocols. This is why they are chosen over file-sharing tools like Dropbox or Google Travel.
Founders can use all their virtual data rooms to aid fundraising efforts by tailoring the content about what investors want to see. This can make it easier to close handles potential shareholders. Additionally , it could save all of them time and effort by simply answering common questions quickly.
A data area can include information such as the business organization, frequency decks, economical information, people-related documentation, market information and additional important information a potential buyer would need to measure the startup. Creators can also put executed legal documents, term sheets and capitalization platforms in their digital data areas to demonstrate their commitment to safeguarding the investor’s interests. These details can collection a owner apart from various other startups and improve their chances of raising funds.

First slingshot in A point. And then create Fibo levels from A. Good fact is topped price reached at 423.60% before and now in down progress. Usually good bounce points are 161.80% or 61.80%. Now touched 161.80%.
Still A is starting point for Fibo slingshot. No need to consider topped price and our current concern is price will stay above of 4.77/161.80%.
If support fail in 4.77/161.80%, the price will go down to 4.15/61.80% where marked as B.
Asked from email for which. My answer is this can be right.
This can be right too. I prefer use this one because 4.60/61.80 level is staying just below.
Using both and we can catch B area has many supporting levels.
B is still best candidate will work for support. And we analysis by downward Fibo levels and you can see green 261.80% levels at B area. So my conclusion is B is best place to bounce up.
Feels are complicated. But there are many possibility where be nice bounce point. So our job is if possible draw significant fibo levels and slingshot lines to see where can be best candidates. Normally many levels/lines gathering spot like B can be considered best candidate.
If we looking enter to buy, definitely need to wait until price will be reached at B area.
So far we are talking about continuous price down . But if price going up from current low like 4.47/61.80% Fibo 0.786 slingshot upward line, just hold this until reach any significant topped 423.60% level.
Actually this is a forecasting job where this will go. The price move is affected by stock itself, market index, or other possible matter. Not easy work but at least we know where can be work for support.

The control system is critical to the proper operation of the pump system. The control system stores all of the operating parameters for each casting job. In some gravity-pour applications, this can amount to many hundreds of “fill profiles.” Each fill profile is stored on an industrial PC and is downloaded to the PLC at the beginning of each job run. Programming of fill parameters is performed by an authorized master operator. But any authorized operator can download fill profiles at any time. Typical fill profiles consist of up to 16 segments of specified time of a specified power. As the profile runs, the pump power is varied according to the programmed fill profile. Since the pump has no moving parts, the only inertia in the system is that of the moving metal itself. This means that the pump delivery pressure can be changed almost instantly to meet the requirements of the casting. Numerous safeguards are standard in the control system to meet safety standards throughout the world. Control systems can also be provided with the capability to report to external systems for such things as SPC and other managerial data systems.
The control panel incorporates controls for automatically compensating for variations in metal level in the holding furnace. This is especially important in gravity casting applications since a very small change in metal level in the launder tube can have a dramatic effect on flow rate. Low-pressure casting is not nearly as sensitive to variations in metal level in the furnace, because the flow rate is not very dependent on how high the metal is in the mold. The control panel also monitors and controls the temperatures in the launder system, and will prohibit operation if the temperature is not within specified limits.
The PG series controls are user-friendly where hands-on command capability is desired. Under rigorous production conditions, a computer or programmable controller can drive the pump. Without operator intervention, complex mold fill parameters, difficult or impossible to execute manually, are easily and uniformly achieved in real-time. To ensure that process commands are accurately met, an optional closed-loop feed-back circuit is available.
The exacting molten metal delivery and tight process control assures maximum casting quality and uniformity, minimal cycle downtime, greatly reduced manpower needs, and fewer scrap castings. The result is significantly improved bottom-line performance.

Dear Editor (of the Queens Chronicle):
Re: “No Parking On The Grass,” Queens Chronicle, July 19.
The claim by the Parks and Recreation manager of Flushing Meadows Park, William Gilbert, that parking on the grass in Flushing Meadows will no longer be tolerated is to be taken with some degree of skepticism given the lackluster history of the Parks Department in the management of the park. The notion that parking on the grass would be permitted during so-called “overlapping special events” is unacceptable.
At a time when Mayor Michael Bloomberg is pushing for congestion pricing to cut down on vehicular traffic into Manhattan, Gilbert ignores the fact that public transportation for both Shea Stadium and the United States Tennis Association exists adjacent to the park. Parking for Mets and USTA fans should be restricted to stadium parking lots. If overflow fans of both the Mets and the USTA are unwilling to use public transportation, let them stay home.
If Gilbert and other Parks officials do not understand that parks are for park users and do not stand up to the Mets and USTA management — which is what this is all about — and that under no circumstances will fan parking be allowed anywhere in the park, grassland or asphalt, then they are not doing their job as protector of parkland and they should seek other employment.
Civic Association of Kew Garden Hills
Ben, you surely are familiar with the human clusterf*ck that happens on the way into the Shea Stadium subway/LIRR stations after Mets games. This is why people drive to the game. Maybe if the MTA solves that problem and runs better public transportation after games (not everyone lives along the 7 train or Port Washington line and most buses run like crap at night), more people will leave their cars home. But why would they do that? The city and the Mets are making more money this way.

Lawyers have said that 83 female activists were arrested in Harare on Monday, after they marched on the parliament building without authorisation. The women belong to the Women of Zimbabwe Arise group, and were arrested after marching to highlight issues around community safety and police behaviour. Twenty-five of the women were initially arrested, and the other 58 handed themselves over in solidarity with their arrested colleagues. A statement released by Woza says that the police have not yet decided what to charge the women with, as most of them handed themselves over. The move has drawn the condemnation of Amnesty International, who called on the Zimbabwean police to release the women. Read more: Sapa-Afp, via IOL and The Zimbabwean

In our ninth month we are looking at our production engineering department. Taking the lead on our first case study of 2018 is our Senior Production Engineer, Peter Townsend, discussing 3D model as master and how using modern 3D CAD systems improves what we can offer as a company to our customers.
Our next January case study will be led by Paul Coupland, our Machine Shop Manager, discussing recent shop floor improvements.
Everything we do is precision focused so our task was to find those small areas of improvement and showcase how they make an overall big improvement.
Next month we’re looking at our approach to weekly customer schedules and how we set, maintain and evaluate KPI’s.
CASE STUDY 1 – 3D model AS master
In a model based definition (MBD) environment the 3D model becomes the master, with 2D drawings derived from the model as and when required.
Historically the 2D drawing has always been the design intent with all GD&T (Geometric dimensioning and tolerancing) and PMI (Product and Manufacturing Information) data included on the drawing and accompanying paperwork. If a model had been produced at this stage it only becomes a reference and takes a lower importance to the drawing.
In MBD by using modern 3D CAD systems the PMI and GD&T engineering information is inserted into the 3D model, therefore the information contained in the model is enough to manufacture and inspect the product without the need for engineering drawings.
The model-based definition environment gives designers greater flexibility and insight into the products they create.
“It also allows them to share designs with subcontractors to collaborate on and allows us to seamlessly integrate the design into our CAM Programming systems and assists with the inspection process.”
CASE STUDY 2 – SHOP FLOOR/Production engineering COLLABORATION
Knowing your weakness is your greatest strength! but being able to identify your own weaknesses before they appear is what we all strive for. We are always looking at how we can make the next step.
We identified areas where as a company, we could improve the flow of new work throughout the programming and first off production phase.
It was decided that we needed to pull the two departments closer together, both in communication and working practices. Interviews were held for the role of Production Technician.
Two candidates were chosen in a job share role, each spending a week in our production engineering department (PED) and then a week on the shop floor in a round robin approach. Gavin Rotchell and John Clover were chosen for the role, both having years of experience as CNC Machinists and a good knowledge of programming. Both are currently undergoing external training on our Cad Cam system, as well as on site training as part of their new roles.
This approach allows PED greater flexibility when new parts are released to the shop floor for production. By using one of the Production Technicians in proving out new programmes, fixtures, and methods, any errors, can be dealt with in a timely manner at the machine, without the need to involve PED. This job share role also increases our capacity in PED, giving us more man hours for new work, or time improvements on legacy parts.
”We have already seen the benefits of the dual role, with new work not only hitting the shop floor earlier, but first off parts proved and passed off quicker, plus the added benefit of a higher skilled workforce.”


I don’t know anything about you or your podcast, but I know you can start monetizing your podcast right now. While you probably won’t make a full-time income immediately, you can start generating some cash flow to offset the production expenses starting with your first episode.
In this episode, Anne Claessen will go over different ways to bring in revenue from your podcast, whether you’re a newbie or a seasoned pro.

One of the biggest roadblocks to achieving goals and realizing success in life is a
feeling of helplessness. So many people go through life assuming that they can do
nothing about their circumstances and simply wait around until someone else
intervenes and make things better.
Of course, in the vast majority of cases, no superhero is going to jump into your life
and take care of everything for you, and so many people who do not take
responsibility for their own lives end up wasting most of their potential and only
achieve mediocre success and happiness. Why is this the case? Is learned helplessness
really a major problem in our society?
A professor from the University of Pennsylvania dedicated over 25 years of study to
a syndrome he labeled " learned helplessness." In this study, the professor studied
thousands of people and concluded that most individuals in our society (perhaps even
80%) have acquired some level of learned helplessness.
Even if it seems that these numbers are exaggerated, it is clear that a large portion of
the country (perhaps a majority) have learned to feel helpless about their own
situation. No matter what goal they would like to achieve, they always end up telling
themselves that they simply can't do anything about it.
They tell themselves (either subconsciously or quite consciously) that they cannot do
anything to improve their career and earning potential. They assume that they cannot
really save money and improve their financial health, and this kind of attitude
pervades every aspect of their lives. These people feel helpless when it comes to
health and fitness, starting their own business, improving or maintaining a
relationship, and just about everything else that is important in most people's lives.
The root cause of this symptom is probably an accumulation of failures and
destructive criticism in a person's past. At some point in life, a person begins to
experience failures in various aspects. These may include failures in relationships,
academic work and school, business, and just about any other part of life that we can
think of. On top of this, there is often a great destructive criticism that comes from
friends or family members at the same time, and this only compounds the idea that a
person is no good at doing this or that task.
Regardless of the root cause of learned helplessness, it is extremely important for
every person to begin taking steps toward accepting responsibility and taking action to
achieve goals. We probably all have a sense of this helplessness at some time in our
lives, for all of us have been plagued with negative thinking and a failure to act at the
However, some people are truly paralyzed mentally or emotionally and never seem
to get started toward achieving their goals. It is important for these kinds of people
(and probably for all of us) to begin setting small, easily achievable goals.
Accomplishing these goals will only lead to confidence, and this will help people
achieve more important goals down the road.

Media giant – The Walt Disney Company (DIS - Free Report) – is slated to report third-quarter fiscal 2017 results after the closing bell on Aug 8. In the previous quarter, the company had registered a positive earnings surprise of 3.5%. Moreover, the company has surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in three of the trailing four quarters, with an average earnings beat of 1.1%. Let’s see how things are shaping up prior to this announcement.
What to Expect?
The question lingering in investors’ minds now is whether Disney will be able to post positive earnings surprise in the quarter to be reported. The current Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter under review is pegged at $1.53, down over 5% year over year. We note that the Zacks Consensus Estimate has declined by 4 cents in the past 30 days. Analysts polled by Zacks expect revenues of $14,442 million, up over 1% from the year-ago quarter. Recent downtrend seen in the Zacks Consensus Estimate indicates that analysts are less constructive about the stock’s upbeat performance.
We noted that the stock has underperformed the industry in the past three months. The company’s shares have decreased 2.5%, wider than the industry’s decline of 1.2%.
Factors at Play
We remain concerned about ESPN’s performance and decline in rating at the company’s youth-focused Disney Channel which might hurt third-quarter fiscal 2017 results.
Falling subscriber base and higher programming costs at ESPN are the major concerns. Fresh NBA agreement and increase in contractual rate for NFL programming drove the overall programming cost higher for ESPN in the past. Further, most media companies are failing to cope with "cord cutting" as consumers are unwilling to pay for large bundles of channels. In the third quarter, the company expects programming costs to increase 8% year over year due to $600 million in incremental costs linked with the first year of its fresh NBA contract. Out of $600 million expenses $400 million are expected to occur in the third quarter.
Disney had stated that mobile apps will play an important role in the future of media and ESPN is on the way of taking the advantage of the trend with wide range of apps. Moreover, to bring ESPN back on growth track the company has inked a deal with video streaming, data analytics as well as commerce management company BAMTech.
However, sturdy movie business owing to blockbuster releases and strong performance of its Parks & Resorts division continue to act as catalysts. Ever since the acquisition of Pixar in 2006, Disney has released many blockbusters under Pixar, Marvel, Lucasfilm and Disney Animation banners.
Disney’s Parks & Resorts division is anticipated to report another impressive quarter. In second-quarter fiscal 2017, the segment reported revenues of $4,299 million, up 9% from the year-ago period. Further, it is focused on deploying capital towards expansion of the Parks and Resorts business, consequently, increasing market share as well as creating long-term growth opportunities.
What the Zacks Model Unveils?
Our proven model does not conclusively show that Disney is likely to beat earnings estimates this quarter. This is because a stock needs to have both a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) and a positive Earnings ESP for this to happen. You may uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they’re reported with our Earnings ESP Filter. Disney has an Earnings ESP of 0.00% as both the Zacks Consensus Estimate and the Most Accurate Estimate are pegged at $1.53.
Disney currently carries a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell). We caution against stocks with a Zacks Rank #4 or 5 (Sell-rated stocks) going into earnings announcement, especially when the company is seeing negative estimate revisions.
Stocks with Favorable Combination
Here are some companies you may want to consider as our model shows that these have the right combination of elements to post an earnings beat:
Nexstar Media Group, Inc. (NXST - Free Report) has an Earnings ESP of +1.09% and a Zacks Rank #3. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank stocks here.
Six Flags Entertainment Corporation (SIX - Free Report) has an Earnings ESP of + 0.54% and a Zacks Rank #3.
Eldorado Resorts, Inc. (ERI - Free Report) has an Earnings ESP of +12% and a Zacks Rank #3.
Today's Stocks from Zacks' Hottest Strategies

text: By a Canadian noted for her appealing portraits of children with problems to solve, a look at the sorts of everyday events that can help overcome fear. Ben (at least eight, judging from his reading ability; no older, if behavior is a clue) is fearful of several things. He's apprehensive at being left for the weekend with an aunt he barely knows, even though she's his favorite author of dragon stories. Just as he begins to enjoy his time with Aunt Rose, another guest arrives: Gully, a large, playful Labrador. Terrified of dogs, Ben retreats, but a series of believable events help him come round. Hana, a slightly older neighbor, loves Gully; her scornful teasing of Ben for his timidity gives him a motive for courage. When it turns out that Hana has fears of her own, it helps Ben put his worries in better perspective. Gully is charming and persistently friendly. And in a delightful scene ensuring Ben's change of heart, he scurries under his bed to hide from a thunderstorm only to find himself preceded by Gully, who is there for the same reason, and they comfort each other. If children aren't so put off by Ben's wimpish weeping in the first chapters that they give up on him, they'll find a likable boy, true to himself yet willing to change when it's the sensible response. A sympathetic, realistic portrayal of an imaginative child learning to deal with his own dragons.

Nature of problem:
Following the passage of a charged particle (protons and heavier) through a Solid State Nuclear Track Detector (SSNTD), a damage region is created, usually named latent track. After the chemical etching of the detectors in aqueous NaOH or KOH solutions, latent tracks can be sufficiently enlarged (with diameters of 1 μm or more) to become visible under an optical microscope. Using the appropriate apparatus, one can record images of the SSNTD s surface. The shapes of the particle's tracks are strongly dependent on their charge, energy and the angle of incidence. Generally, they have elliptical shapes and in the special case of vertical incidence, they are circular. The manual counting of tracks is a tedious and time-consuming task. An automatic system is needed to speed up the process and to increase the accuracy of the results.
TRIAC II is based on a segmentation method that groups image pixels according to their intensity value (brightness) in a number of grey level groups. After the segmentation of pixels, the program recognizes and separates the track from the background, subsequently performing image morphology, where oversized objects or objects smaller than a threshold value are removed. Finally, using the appropriate Hough transform technique, the program counts the tracks, even those which overlap and classifies them according to their shape parameters and brightness.
This program has been tested with images of CR-39 detectors exposed to alpha particles. Also, in low contrast images with few or small tracks, background pixels can be recognized as track pixels. To avoid this problem the brightness of the background pixels should be sufficiently higher than that of the track pixels.
This program requires the Matlab Statistical Toolbox and the Image Processsing Toolbox to be installed.
The analysis of an image with a PC (Intel Pentium III processor running at 600MHz) requires 2 to 10 minutes, depending on the number of observed tracks and the digital resolution of the image.

By now, you’ve surely heard the news that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have gotten engaged. While some blogs are already buzzing with ideas for Angie’s wedding dress, we’re still discussing her custom-designed, sizeable stunner of an engagement ring, the result of a year-long collaboration between Brad Pitt and jeweler Robert Procop. Expect starry-eyed celebrity followers to descend on your store any day now, requesting a “Brangelina”—or, to you, an emerald-cut diamond engagement ring. (Procop declined to provide carat or quality details on the center stone, but make no mistake: It’s huge!). Marketplace is chock-full of the faceted design, no celeb budget required. Take a look at five of my favorites, below.
Katharine James’ Bella’s Love Ring
Katharine James’ version of the emerald-cut engagement ring comes from the Bella’s Love collection, giving us a figure-eight shank sprinkled with diamonds and a rectangular halo surrounding the center stone.
Universal Fine Jewelry’s Diamond Dazzler
Universal Fine Jewelry delights us with this engagement ring from Eddy Z. A sparkling emerald-cut diamond takes center stage, surrounded by a border of round-cut diamonds that spill down the milgrain-accented shank. Baguette diamonds highlight each side of the center stone.
Leo Ingwer’s Split-Shank Splendor
Leo Ingwer’s take on the emerald-cut engagement ring stars a shining emerald-cut diamond, subtly accented by a split shank glazed in round-cut diamonds.
Rahaminov’s Generous Gem
Rahaminov Diamonds says “go big or go home” with this 5.02 ct. emerald-cut center diamond accented with trapezoid side stones set in platinum. It looks as big as Angelina’s!
Tycoon’s Diamond Solitaire
Tycoon’s diamond engagement ring lends a solitaire style to the emerald-cut center and adds a generous serving of round-cut diamonds to the sparkling shank.

UK FTSE 100 (.FTSE) slowly rebound from Coronavirus fears
Over the last week, UK markets have been slowly rebounding from fears of the economic damage caused by the Coronavirus, as the rate of infections and death numbers have been steadily decreasing daily.
The FTSE 100 started the week in the red, as concerns grew over the spreading of the virus, however, the index then bounced back, rising 0.82 per cent for the week to Wednesday.
Further afield, global markets have also reacted favourably to the slowing of the pandemic.
In the US, the Dow Jones Industrial Average grew 0.97 per cent, Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index advanced 2.69 per cent and Shanghai’s SSE Composite Index expanded 2.26 per cent from the start of the week.
By Wednesday, there had been over 45,000 reported infections and 1,116 deaths, however, the second half of the week saw the rate of increase in numbers decline. On Tuesday, the Federal Reserve (Fed) Chairman Jerome Powell stated that the US are “closely monitoring” the economic effects of the Coronavirus, which may potentially disrupt supply chains across the world.
Back in the UK, the Office for National Statistics released data on Tuesday which showed that UK Gross Domestic Product had not grown in the last quarter of 2019. The data revealed that the 0.3 per cent growth in December was largely offset by Brexit uncertainty and US-China trade wars in the previous two months, which hit the manufacturing sector particularly hard with production falling 1.1 per cent, compared to the previous quarter. However, investor sentiment was still buoyed by the data, noting it was still in line with expectations and signalled a solid start for the year.
Similarly, the Pound advanced 0.62 per cent against the US Dollar since the start of the week, as currency markets also adjusted to the news flow.
In perhaps the biggest regional news story of the week, Boris Johnson has now approved the controversial High Speed 2 (HS2) UK rail project, which now may cost up to £106bn to implement.
The decision was described as one that has not been made easily, as the project has already seen delays, and the projected costs have nearly doubled from £56bn.
The main argument supporting this decision revolves around making the north of the UK more accessible and lowering the travel times between London, Birmingham, Leeds and Manchester as well as upgrading the infrastructure.
However, there have been critics arguing that the increased cost outweighs the benefits and that focusing on smaller improvements in northern towns and cities would yield larger economic benefits.
There is also the environmental angle to consider, with concerns raised about the impact development would have with over 100 woodlands potentially being destroyed for construction. The announcement has at least removed uncertainty regarding projects for Kier Group, Costain and Balfour Beatty, which consequently saw their share prices rise by 10.5 per cent, 8.45 per cent and 1.61 per cent respectively.
Overall, the bias in prices is: Sideways.
The projected upper bound is: 7,590.18.
The projected lower bound is: 7,238.10.
The projected closing price is: 7,414.14.
A black body occurred (because prices closed lower than they opened).
During the past 10 bars, there have been 6 white candles and 4 black candles for a net of 2 white candles. During the past 50 bars, there have been 30 white candles and 20 black candles for a net of 10 white candles.

Aaron Ramsdale says Arsenal are totally transformed when Oleksandr Zinchenko plays
Aaron Ramsdale has claimed that Arsenal are a totally different side when Oleksandr Zinchenko is on the pitch.
The Gunners picked up a much-needed win at Villa Park yesterday after coming from behind on two occasions against Unai Emery’s men.
Ollie Watkins gave Villa the lead inside five minutes after Zinchenko was dispossessed by Matty Cash. Mikel Arteta’s men levelled things up after an exceptional finish from Bukayo Saka, but Villa went into the break 2-1 up after Philippe Coutinho finished off a brilliant move.
But Arsenal completed a dramatic comeback win in the second-half as they found three goals.
Zinchenko got Arsenal on their way with a drilled effort after a well-worked corner and despite making a costly error in the first-half, the 26-year-old was exceptional thereafter.
And Ramsdale has heaped praise on Zinchenko for the impact he’s had on the Arsenal side.
Ramsdale says Arsenal are totally transformed when Zinchenko plays
Zinchenko completed a switch to north London for £32 million over the summer and he’s been a standout performer in Arteta’s side.
Speaking to Viaplay after yesterday’s 4-2 win at Villa Park, Ramsdale said Arsenal are a completely different side when the Ukrainian star plays.
“He brings a completely different dimension to the team, allows us to play the way we want to. Yeah, he’s been there and he’s done it. He’s got four out of five Premier Leagues [titles] so he knows what it takes to win,” the Arsenal shot stopper said.
“He’s been brilliant, you see the passion he’s got. He’s only been here a couple of months but he’s a huge part of our group.”
While Zinchenko is named at left-back for Arsenal, he often drifts into midfield and provides them with another option in the middle of the park.
The full-back has excelled in his new role under Arteta and there’s no doubt that Arsenal look better off when he’s on the pitch.
Arteta will be delighted with the way his team responded to going behind yesterday, especially off the back of a difficult spell of form.
Yesterday’s win was the perfect response from the Gunners after losing a huge clash against Manchester City during the week. Pep Guardiola’s side also dropped points against Nottingham Forest yesterday, putting Arsenal back in the driving seat at the top of the table.

In the lead-up to Newcastle United’s Premier League opener against Aston Villa this Saturday, manager Eddie Howe has shed light on key developments within the squad. One of the notable updates involves Fabian Schar’s status, as the Swiss international missed the Magpies’ final trio of pre-season matches due to an injury sustained during the 1-1 draw against Chelsea in Atlanta last month.
Howe has confirmed that Schar, the seasoned defender, is expected to be available for selection as Newcastle hosts Villa at St. James’ Park to initiate the 2023/24 season following a full week of training.
Howe took to the microphones and addressed the most pressing questions by the media on Friday, one day before the Magpies host Villa on Saturday, Aug. 12. Speaking from the Magpies’ Benton training center, Howe conveyed his satisfaction with the team’s overall readiness for the forthcoming season.
The extensive pre-season program, highlighted by a trip to the United States, helped the team gain proper conditioning.
Regarding Aston Villa, Newcastle’s opponents for the opening match, Howe acknowledged the competitiveness of the Villans. The two sides previously faced off in the Premier League Summer Series last month, resulting in a 3-3 draw, although it’s not that heavy conclusions can be drawn from that matchup considering its nature.
Howe praised Villa’s performance through last season under the leadership of Unai Emery and acknowledged the healthy respect between the teams. Howe emphasized the unpredictable nature of the Premier League season, with several teams in a similar bracket and looking for a top-4 finish.
The arrival of Tino Livramento, Newcastle’s recent signing from Southampton, has also been a topic of discussion. Howe commended Livramento’s athletic attributes while making reporters and fans alike aware of the importance of carefully managing Livramento’s workload given his recent return from a lengthy injury and his transition to a new team in Newcastle.
Howe confirmed that Joe Willock won’t feature until after the first international break, while Emil Krafth remains out rehabbing from an ACL injury suffered last season.
Howe stressed the importance of a committed and determined team that exemplifies a strong work ethic, hunger for success, and a positive attitude. Howe also acknowledged the pride in representing both the city and the football club in England and—for the first time in 20 years—across Europe this season as a competing side in the upcoming Champions League.
As the Premier League season kicks off, the Toon Army can’t wait much more for the first kick-off of the season, one that will bring the return of Schar to the pitch as well as (just maybe) the introduction of Livramento adding an intriguing dimension to the squad. All of that, with the bonus of facing a hella strong side in Aston Villa in the opener, is set to provide an early tall test for the Magpies’ aspirations in the 2023/24 campaign.
