In its simplest form, it consists of a spool (or drum) attached to a hand crank. Traditionally, winches on ships accumulated wire or rope on the drum; those that do not accumulate, and instead pass on the wire/rope (see yacht photo above), are called capstans. Despite this, sailboat capstans are most often referred to as winches. Winches are the basis of such machines as tow trucks, steam shovels and elevators. More complex designs have gear assemblies and can be powered by electric, hydraulic, pneumatic or internal combustion drives. It might include a solenoid brake and/or a mechanical brake or ratchet and pawl which prevents it unwinding unless the pawl is retracted. The rope may be stored on the winch. When trimming a line on a sailboat, the crew member turns the winch handle with one hand, while tailing (pulling on the loose tail end) with the other to maintain tension on the turns. Some winches have a "stripper" or cleat to maintain tension. These are known as "self-tailing" winches.
The earliest literary reference to a winch can be found in the account of Herodotus of Halicarnassus on the Persian Wars (Histories 7.36), where he describes how wooden winches were used to tighten the cables for a pontoon bridge across the Hellespont in 480 BC. Winches may have been employed even earlier in Assyria. By the 4th century BC, winch and pulley hoists were regarded by Aristotle as common for architectural use (Mech. 18; 853b10-13).
The yacht Reliance, American defender of the 1903 America's Cup, was the first racing boat to be fitted with modern winches below decks. The Reliance's competitors relied on muscle power using topside mounted capstans and windlasses, which would soon be replaced in most applications by winches, including on fishing boats, where they are used to bring in the fishing nets.
The main feature that legally distinguishes a tow truck from a conventional truck in many jurisdictions is the presence of a winch, which is used to either extract disabled or immobilized vehicles, or to load them onto flatbed/tilt and load type tow trucks. These may be electrically or hydraulically powered from a power take-off, and is wound with a wire cable and equipped with a hook. Snatch blocks may be used to change direction or increase the pulling power and a variety of specialized hooks may be attached to the main hook, including hooks which attach to specific parts of the car. J-hooks, which look somewhat like blunt meat hooks are used to hook around axles. Mini-J hooks can be used if there is a tow loop provided, and R and T hooks are designed to hook into slots cut by the manufacturer in the underside of the frame on many cars. Axle straps may also be used, when there are few other places to attach.
Off-road vehicles may be equipped with recovery tools such as winches on the front and back bumpers, usually mounted to a winch bar or frame mounted metal bumper. Less commonly it is mounted on a specialised metal plate "hidden winch mount" behind the vehicle's stock bumper, this is referred to as a "hidden winch" as the hook and fairlead hides behind a flip-up front number plate, the winch itself is not visible. The snubbing winch is used to pull vehicles out of mud, snow, sand, rocks, and water, and to pull vehicles through or over obstacles. The winch is made of cable made up of a braided synthetic rope, or a steel cable wrapped around a motorized drum. Each is controlled electronically, allowing the operator to control the winch speed. Modern vehicles typically use electric winches running off the car's 12V starter or 24V secondary battery. The winch is either controlled with a detachable cable, a button inside the car or wireless remote. Older vehicles may have a PTO winch, controlled via the car's transmission, a secondary clutch maybe used so the vehicle does not need to be moving while winching. Some winches are powered by the pressure generated in the hydraulic steering system. The high lift jack or come-along is used for manual winching.
Gliders are often launched using a winch mounted on a trailer or heavy vehicle. This method is widely used at many European gliding clubs, as an inexpensive alternative to aerotowing. The engine is usually a gas/petrol, LPG or diesel, though hydraulic fluid engines and electrical motors are also used. The winch pulls in 1,000 to 1,600 m (3,300 to 5,200 ft) of high-tensile steel wire or a synthetic fibre cable, attached at the other end to the glider. The cable is released at a height of about 400 to 700 m (1,300 to 2,300 ft) after a short, steep climb.
Search and Rescue helicopters are often equipped with winches to avoid having to get the helicopter dangerously close to obstacles, or into ocean troughs, allowing rescue teams to be lowered and evacuees to be extricated while the helicopter hovers overhead. Helicopter winches are also used for heli-logging and for airlifting oversized cargo, such as vehicles and other aircraft, although the winch in these cases is only used to reduce the hazards to flying with an loose cable hanging below the helicopter.
Stationary balloons, such as the barrage balloons used during the Second World War to discourage marauding aircraft, and the Kite balloons used during the First World War for artillery spotting are usually tethered with a winch, which can be used to lower the balloon, either to relocate it, or to bring it down quickly to prevent it being shot down by enemy aircraft. Larger man carrying kites often used winches to raise and lower them.
Towed gunnery targets, used to train anti-aircraft gunners, and both fighter pilots and aircraft gunners, are run out behind the target tug aircraft for practice, and winched in for take-off and landing.
Before advances were made in antennas in the 1950s, radio aerials were quite long, and needed to be winched out for use, and winched back in for landing. Failure to do so would then damage the aerial, as happened to Amelia Earhart on one of the legs of her last flight.
Winches are frequently used as elements of backstage mechanics to move scenery in large theatrical productions. They are often embedded in the stage floor and used to move large set pieces on and off.
Wakeskate winching is a sport where a person on a waterski or snowboard is propelled across the water with a winch. The winch consists of a gas-powered engine, spool, rope, frame, and sometimes a simple transmission. The person being towed walks (or swims) away from the winch, while extending the rope. When the winch is engaged, it pulls the boarder in at a speed ranging from 25 to 40 kilometres per hour (16 to 25 mph). The winch may be mounted to a vehicle, set into the ground by stakes, or tied to a tree. The cable may also be run through pulleys mounted offshore so that it pulls the person away from where the winch is located, and multiple pulleys may be used to multiply the force applied by a small but high revving motor instead of using a transmission.
Lever winches are winches that use self-gripping jaws instead of spools to move rope or wire through the winch. Powered by moving a handle back and forth, they allow one person to move objects several tons in weight.
This is a vertical spool with a ratchet mechanism similar to a conventional winch, but with no crank handle or other form of drive. The line is wrapped around the spool and can be tightened or reeled in by pulling the tail line. The winch takes the load once the pull is stopped with little operator tension needed to hold it. These also allow controlled release of the tension by the operator using the friction of the line around the ratcheted spool. They are used on small sailing boats and dinghies to control sheets and other lines, and in larger applications to supplement and relieve tension on the primary winches.
An air winch, sometimes known as an air hoist or air tugger, is an air-powered version of a winch. It is commonly used for the lifting and the suspension of materials. In the oil and gas, construction, and maritime industries, air winches are frequently preferred to electric, diesel, and hydraulic winches because of their durability, versatility, and safety.

Plasma levels of soluble receptor for advanced glycation end products in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome.
The acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a syndrome of acute respiratory failure associated with severe inflammation and diffuse alveolar damage. Recent studies have demonstrated that the soluble receptor for advanced glycation end products (sRAGE) plays an important role in the pathogenesis of ARDS. The aim of this study was to ascertain whether plasma levels of sRAGE were elevated in ARDS patients compared with appropriate controls. Furthermore, we explored whether plasma levels of sRAGE were related to disease severity, ventilatory parameters and clinical outcome. We prospectively enrolled twenty-two ARDS patients, fourteen ventilated controls and twelve healthy subjects. The Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score was applied to assess illness severity. In addition, ventilator parameters (arterial oxygen tension (PaO2): inspiratory oxygen fraction (FiO2) ratio, arterial carbon dioxide tension (PaCO2), tidal volume and positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP)) of ARDS patients and ventilated controls were also recorded. Plasma samples were collected within 24 hours and levels of sRAGE were determined using a commercially available sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit. Possible correlation between plasma sRAGE levels and clinical parameters were explored using a simple linear model. Plasma sRAGE levels were significantly elevated in the plasma samples taken from patients with ARDS (1797 ± 383 pg/ml) when compared with both ventilated (650 ± 192 pg/ml, P < 0.01) and healthy (415 ± 178 pg/ml, P < 0.01) controls. Significant correlations were found between plasma sRAGE levels and PaO2:FiO2 ratio (P < 0.05, r=0.36). There was no significant difference in plasma sRAGE levels between survivors and non-survivors (P=0.34). Our results demonstrate that elevated levels of plasma sRAGE may provide a useful marker for ventilated ARDS patients. Furthermore, the relationship between plasma sRAGE levels and PaO2:FiO2 ratio in the ARDS population provides the hypothesis that ventilatory strategy may influence alveolar epithelial damage in ARDS.Sign-in to see all concepts, it's free!

Picking Solar Batteries for Your House
When you choose a solar panel for your home, there are a few things to look for. The rate may be short on the first day, yet if the battery is not constructed to last for years, it can be a much more costly proposition later. On top of that, if the battery needs to be changed frequently, the expense can mount up quickly gradually.
While solar panel storage space systems with AC-coupling have actually come to be a lot more typical in domestic solar installments, DC-coupled systems can likewise be cost-effective. These systems flow the DC power from the solar panels directly right into the battery, bypassing the fee controller. As DC options end up being much more common, a lot more household solar setups are turning to DC-coupled systems.
One of the significant advantages of DC-coupled systems is the reduction of round-trip losses. AC-coupled systems shed power in the interconnection procedure between the source of power and also the battery. However, DC-coupled systems lose energy just when the battery discharges, which is half the loss of power in an AC-coupled system. DC-coupled solar systems can likewise take full advantage of the United States International Tax Obligation Credit Report (ITC) program. Since storage is a huge cost, the ITC reduction for these systems can aid to improve ROI.
The Circulation solar battery is a brand-new and also promising technology for saving renewable energy. Its style is based upon a redox reaction between two fluids – a positive as well as unfavorable electrolyte. It is a versatile and also robust technology, which can be quickly scaled up and down.
The modern technology is modular, as well as the flow battery system can be tailored to fit any type of application. Its products are commonly available, and also many components can be recycled. The electrolytes can also be reused. The products made use of in the battery are additionally non-flammable and also have little influence on the setting.
Off-grid solar batteries are terrific for powering numerous lots at once. They can be used for a couple of hours or for days when the sun is not out. The peak result rating of the battery is very important to take into consideration when selecting an off-grid solar panel system. The maximum capacity of an off-grid solar cell system is about four-eight hundred amp-hours, or 700 watt-hours.
The off-grid solar panel is basically the lifeline of an off-grid solar system. It stores the electrical energy generated by the system and keeps them working in instance of a power disruption. Its crucial to pick a sturdy, effective battery to ensure the continued use the tools. There are many elements to consider when choosing which kind of off-grid solar battery is best for your particular system.
SunPower solar batteries are available in different dimensions and abilities. The Sunlight Vault Storage battery has actually a 13-kWh rated capability, which is about equal to half of a typical American families daily power use. It is readily available in 26-kWh as well as 52-kWh configurations. It was released in 2019 and has more than increased the capacity of its previous versions. This most current battery likewise boasts a 10-year guarantee and also has a 70% useful energy retention price. SunPower additionally supplies a guarantee for its items that covers panels, racking, and monitoring hardware.
In addition to lowering power bills, a SunPower solar cell system additionally helps people to end up being more power independent. It can additionally be made use of to offer backup power throughout power outages or in over cast days. The Sunlight Vault storage space batteries are likewise excellent for houses in areas where the sun does not shine at all times.

LAHORE: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Senior Vice-President Fawad Chaudhry has said that politics is defined as trekking forward after looking into each other’s arguments, adding that the way the government was moving forward had given rise to a big crisis in the country.“You are so afraid that you are distancing yourself from elections and all eyes are on the Supreme Court,” he said while addressing a press conference at the Lahore Press Club along with PTI Secretary General Asad Umar.
Fawad said Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif gave an poor response to President Dr Arif Alvi’s letter written within the constitutional provisions. Alvi had, earlier, asked the PM to direct the concerned authorities to assist the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) for elections in Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in line with the Supreme Court’s order for holding elections to avoid any complication, including contempt of court.
Fawad said the way the PM had responded to the president’s letter was enough to show how low a man he was.
He said hundreds of thousands of people rejected the tactics being employed by the fascist government at the PTI’s Minar-e-Pakistan rally on Saturday night, adding the entire country was standing besides PTI chief Imran Khan. “All ways leading to Minar-e-Pakistan were blocked using containers and we cannot find an similarity to this government’s oppression,” he added.
He alluded that he had not witnessed a worse treatment of political workers, adding that women were being harassed inside their homes. “We cannot tolerate such ill-treatment,” he added.
He went on to say that so far six persons had died in the pursuit of subsidised flour bags, imploring where they [the government] had brought this country to. “The incumbent government will drag down the country to the Financial Action Task Force’s (FATF) grey list again,” he added. Oil prices have decreased in the international market, he said, but they increased in Pakistan.
Fawad insisted there was no way in Pakistan except for implementing the Constitution. He added that notices are being handed out by the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) and Anti-Corruption Establishment (ACE).
Fawad, flanked by PTI Secretary General Asad Umar, claimed that 2,000 people were arrested in the ongoing wave of arrests of his party’s workers. “People are being picked and rendered missing from Lahore. Azhar Mashwani went missing. It has been three days.”
The politician asserted that there was no room for enforced disappearances in Pakistan.
During the presser, the former information minister accused Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah of “operating a gang” while questioning him about his politics.
Asad Umar said there would be no space for democracy in the country if the country was run the way it was being run, adding that next week would be decisive in the country’s history. “The country has no longer a judiciary of the 1950s and everyone will see the judiciary defending the country,” he added, local media reported.
Asad Umar claimed that the people of Lahore came out despite fear, arrests and containers placed across the city. “The coming week will be the turning point in Pakistan’s history,” the PTI leader said.
Slamming the government for mishandling the country’s economy and the nation’s sufferings which have followed, Umar said that people are losing their lives while standing in line to get flour.
He warned the government on people’s reaction to their performance. “They know what people will do to them.”
He said that a case was lodged against Hassaan Niazi in Lahore after being commuted to Quetta, adding they [the government] were taking the country to destruction.
“People came out on their own for the PTI’s rally on Saturday night and they did not do so for Imran Khan,” he added. Fascism was, he said, was at its peak in the country.

Despite missing several players, including two superstars in LeBron James and Anthony Davis, the Los Angeles Lakers were able to earn a big win over the Brooklyn Nets that were without James Harden.
After the game, Brooklyn’s superstar Kevin Durant said the reigning NBA champions came out more motivated and gave his team an early punch and then they found their shots.
“They just played with more urgency to start the game,” Durant said postgame. “They hit us in the mouth early, and that was fighting uphill all game. And then they got hot.
“You come in a game, guys who haven’t played as much get more opportunities and playing free. And they came out and hit us in the mouth. They’re the champs. You got to respect it.”
Durant was the top scorer for the Nets with 22 points in 24 minutes. He also added 7 rebounds and 5 assists.

AUSTIN (KXAN) — Black community leaders in Austin are working together on a new public service announcement encouraging everyone to wear a mask as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to hit Texas.
The song was created, produced and performed by Grammy Award-nominated Texas artist, SaulPaul. His media company produced the video.
SaulPaul calls himself “a musician with a message.” His message right now is “put your mask on.”
“Wearing a mask at the end of the day is a very simple task, but it can have the biggest impact. It may be a slight inconvenience, but it makes a difference,” SaulPaul said.
A few familiar faces are featured in the PSA including Chief Joel Baker from the Austin Fire Department, Austin Assistant City Manager Christopher Shorter and Chas Moore of the Austin Justice Coalition.
Austin Mayor Steve Adler shared the PSA on his social media accounts on Monday.
SaulPaul says he’s working on a Spanish version of the song to address the disproportionate amount of cases in Austin’s Hispanic community.

Italian gardens have been described as “perfect things of imagination”.
While the fourteenth century Italian poet Petrarch was the first person to envisage the garden as the perfect setting for the poet and the man of letters, it was the writings of Vitruvius, Varro an Pliny that provided designers with the sources for early Renaissance garden design. Since the eighteenth century, artist from England and Europe have been drawn to visit these gardens. Many made detailed drawings in their sketchbooks of famous sites such as Villa Madama and Villa d'Este, as well as producing exquisitely detailed engravings of them. More recently, American, Canadian, Australian and New Zealand artists have followed this practice, attracted to Italy by the legacy of Renaissance art and culture.In 1973, for example, Cantebury painter Bill Sutton spent his sabbatical leave in Italy drawing classical ruins and sketching in Renaissance gardens. His lovely drawing of wild flowers from the Boboli Gardens at Florence was included in a recent exhibition at the Christchurch Art Gallery: W.A. Sutton: Watercolours of Italy.
Cathryn Shine was following in the footsteps of a long line of artists when she visited Italy in 2005. Giardini e Giardinieri in Italia is the fourth body of Italianate work that Shine, a fluent speaker of Italian, has produced and exhibited both nationally and internationally. Her Panoramas from Italy (1991) series of photographic prints focused on wide-angle views of buildings, statuary and gardens. In her later, more intamte, images of the Sotto Un Cielo Avorio (2006) suite she introduced the viewer to the visual intrigues of Italian gardens, archaeological sites and townscapes. Both bodies of work are linked by her love of Italy and her passion for photography and printmaking. In Giardini e Giardinieri in Italia, Shine explores the origins of cultivated gardens and investigates the ways in which plants grown in contemporary Renaissance-style gardens have been preserved, propagated and maintained over a period of nearly six hundred years, despite wars, plagues and natural disasters. She has interviewed curators and gardeners and photographed them at their place of work.
Shine has long been fascinated by the medicinal and spiritual aspects of medieval gardens and regards the monks of this era as the original advocates for sustainability. It was they who classified the seeds and plants they gathered, planting and growing them in the same way season by season, year by year, carefully drawing and painting them in exquisite detail in Herbals which were copied and recopied in scriptoria across Europe and used as medicinal reference books. Interested in the development of cultivated gardens in Renaissance Italy and strong supporter of sustainability, Shine planned her journey in 2005 around educational institutions –universities which archival plant collections and rare plants at Rome, Florence and Naples, as well as orto botanico – places where plants are grown for scientific study and displayed to the public. She visited the botanical garden at Padua, established in 1545, one of the oldest of its type in the world. It was originally attached to the School of Botany at the University of Padua, where the first chair of that science had been created shortly before .She researched in similar gardens at Pisa, Ferrara, Lucca, Urbino, Perugia, Verona, Firenze, Roma,Siena,Camerino, Napoli, Viterbo, Toscolano Moderno, Frascati, Lecce, Como, Milano and on the islands of Largo di Maggiore. Shine regards the early creators of these botanical gardens as “incredible visionaries” , men who had seen the need for a stable collection of plants to refer to.
Although Italian Renaissance gardens are characterized by the balance and symmetry of their design, their planting plans have never been static. Most were, and still are immense pleasure gardens and were adapted over time to reflect contemporary trends and taste. Flowers, for example, were particularly popular in Italian Renaissance gardens during the seventeenth century when there was a new fashion for crystallizing them. Stillrooms became a feature in every large house and were used to distil essences of lemon, bitter orange and citron flowers. These were used to flavor sorbets and soft drinks. Flowers were also necessary for sustaining the contemporary fashion of perfuming gloves. They were scented with jasmine, rose and ambergris and the demand for them led to an extensive cultivation of these particular plants and flowers at this time.
While all the contemporary Italian gardens Shine visited and photographed, both public and private, have changed over time, they all retain the balance and contrast that have always been central to Renaissance garden design. According to Georgina Masson, the Villa d’Estte remains the most typically Renaissance garden in Italy in that every inch of its highly integrated design has been subjected to “...man-made order and symmetry” . By comparison, the garden at the Villa Aldobrindini at Frascati, although it remains Italian Renaissance in its overall design, has been planted out more freely than the gardens at Villa d’Este . Even the gardens at Isola Even the garden at Isola Bella , that recreational masterpiece whose gardens originally took forty years to create, are more freely planted today.
Giardini e Giardineri in Itali is as much about the gardeners, whose care has preserved this wonderful heritage, as it is about the gardens. It is they who guard and protect them and their vulnerable plant collections for posterity. No extant records of the original gardener exist, but Shine interviewed and recorded the responses of over 60 contemporary gardeners, collecting significant data about their lives and work as well as valuable information pertaining to the evolution of the plant collections in their care. She also made observational and reportage type photographs of their work environment, each gardener photographed in the favourite section of his, or her, garden. Without exception, these remarkable men and women regarded their work of caring for the plants, preserving the purity of each strain and maintaining the gardens, as a vocation. Many had worked in the same garden all their lives. Shine encountered the same love and dedication in the smaller private gardens she visited. For example, Signore Selina Bonelli Zondari, the owner of the Villa Vico Bello in the back hills of Sienna, regarded the costly work of creating a new Renaissance garden as both serious work and labour of love.
Shine’s installation, Giardini e Giardineri in Itali, should be regarded as a work in progress. While her photographic images “breathe enchantment”, she regards them as a catalyst, a stimulus for undertaking further work: interviewing and recording the names, lives, work and unique perceptions of today’s gardeners, the contemporary guardians of Italian Renaissance gardens and extending the images into new art works.

In November 2022 – Remembrance Day to be exact – we co-hosted a conference in London all about Change and Transformation which celebrated women leaders and entrepreneurs in that space.
On the day, we were speaking about parity – parity in Change, Transformation, Technology and Entrepreneurship – and one of the interesting topics of the day was from one of our own Change Experts, Mary Galbraith. Which extended the discussion on parity (something that matters in all parts of the economy and our society) to specifically consider women in sport.
We don’t tend to see sport and Change Management as something we would naturally put together. But distant, and recent, history is littered with examples of Change in sport that mirrors what is also going on inside organisations, on an almost daily basis.
And as Mexican sports journalist, analyst and TV host Marion Reimers puts it:
Football is a megaphone of society that includes human will and friendship on the one hand. Plus, the inequalities and machismo on the other. And it is a mirror of what happens in the world.
Visibility of leadership matters as you make the case for Change
50 plus years ago Billie Jean King made the strong case for equal prize money in tennis.
Today, women’s players get the same prize money as the men’s winner. But this was not always the case. Back in 1970 the men’s title winner Ilie Nastase earned $3,500, while Billie Jean King got only $600. As a truly inspirational female player – who was going to go on and win a total of 39 Grand Slam titles including 12 singles crowns – Ms King was not about to sit silent. And take home more than five times less than her male counterpart.
So, she assumed a Leadership role in the case for Change and equal pay. Galvanising female players around the cause and raising the flag loudly to champion the need for real change in the sport of tennis. As stark as the $600 vs. $3,500 pay differential is, it’s our emotions that drive big choices. To drive Change and Transformation an inspiring narrative was needed to engage fellow stakeholders to start the Change journey.
And that Change in tennis has been profound in the past 10+ years.
Equality, social and economic imperatives are huge in sport
Equality, social and economic imperatives in sport are massive.
Sports media is a male-dominated concern around the globe. Giving more visibility to sports traditionally practised by men, for example soccer. As well as reporting extensively about male athletes and their performance. In fact, more than 90% of sports articles are written by male journalists – which leaves only 10% of the analysed sport articles being written by named female journalists. And more than 85% of the articles focus on sportsmen.
However, sport has the power to change lives. The ability to drive gender equality by teaching women and girls teamwork, self-reliance, resilience and confidence. It can also defy gender stereotypes and social norms. Making inspiring role models - showing that men and women are equals.
The reality is that if women aren’t featuring more, then the economic and social imbalances in society generally persist.
Defining goals for success is key
Setting out goals – and on this occasion goals that are more PACT(1) than SMART – for the type of Change that is needed have been key to the success of changing the gender balance in global sport.
It wasn’t until the 2012 London Olympics that there were equal numbers of medal opportunities for men and women. Which was as a result of structured planning and proof positive that top-down and bottom-up target setting matters as you look to achieve your objectives.
In early 2019, UN Women signed a memorandum of understanding with FIFA to develop a specific sports policy that raised awareness about gender equality. With a view to using soccer as a tool to empower women and girls. The underlying idea was to harness the power of the world’s most popular sport to help close - not exemplify - the world’s gender gaps.
Doing what is needed to sustain and embed Change and early wins
However, the job of sustaining Change is an ongoing one including among some of the most influential figures in sport.
Speaking ahead of the BNP Paribas final between Victoria Azarenka and Serena Williams in 2016, chief executive of Indian Wells, Raymond Moore said the Women’s Tennis Association was a “lucky organisation” which “rides on the coat tails” of the men. While also overlooking the 21 grand slam titles won by Williams – more than the 17 won by Roger Federer and 14 by Rafael Nadal – Moore added: “If I was a lady player, I’d go down every night on my knees and thank God that Roger Federer and Rafa Nadal were born, because they have carried this sport. They really have.”
Novak Djokovic added to the view that men should be awarded more prize money than women later in 2020. By resigning as head of the Association of Tennis Professionals Player Council and forming a breakaway body to represent the interests of only male players.
So, having a compelling case for change is crucial. People pay attention to what leaders say and the early tangible plans to build momentum. And it’s what leaders do that will tip the scales and:
- Role models for Change matter – especially high-profile allies and influencers. Staying on the tennis theme, a good example of this was in 2016 when a reporter congratulated Andy Murray on winning two gold medals in tennis. Murray immediately corrected him, reminding the audience that Venus and Serena Williams had won 4 each!
- Celebrating successes is crucial – nothing works better than the taste of success. Consider the impact of the English female football team who recently won the World Cup. This had the impact of raising the profile of the female game exponentially in a very short period of time. Over 17.5 million watched England’s Lionesses lift the European Championships trophy in Summer 2022, smashing previously held records. Revenues in women’s soccer are expected to reach $1.4 billion by 2030, due to increased coverage, popularity and prominence of female stars
- Focus on the future state – The women’s FIFA Word Cup in 2023 is projected to become the biggest sporting event in history. With some notable adjustments towards parity such as:
- The rights for mens’ and womens’ World Cups being marketed separately
- Womens’ matches being free-to-air like their male counterparts
- The womens’ tournament will be expanded from 24 to 32 teams to match the men’s
- Monitor and adapt – comparing against the legacy and acting quickly where you are falling short. A good case in point is the ongoing debate around equal pay in football. There have certainly been strides made, for example women’s teams in Australia, Norway and the Netherlands have all been successful in closing their pay gaps. And the US teams recently announced that they would be splitting any winnings earned. However, there is still work to be done to sustain these changes in attitude. For example, the bonus pool for the men’s World Cup last year was $440 million, compared to $60 million for this years’ women’s equivalent.
And so it is with Change Management
In many ways, the examples above have strong similarities with the Change Management process inside organisations.
Including the fact that:
- Visible leaders are needed to create an inspiring case for change
- The Change imperative needs to be strong enough to shift people from the status quo
- Targeted goals are needed to chart your course for Change
- You need to build on early wins and sustain your efforts with:
(1) Purposeful – meaningful to the long-term purpose in society, not just relevant right now, Actionable – outcomes that are controllable and within reach, Continuous – simple, repeatable, with the ability to learn and adapt, Trackable – yes/no, has progress been made or not
Without a planned approach, tackling change can be daunting
Changefirst has supported organisations in implementing change for over 25 years. We have used our experience to develop an effective and flexible Change Management methodology - People Centered Implementation (PCI® for short).

As part of my job and hobbies too I need to transfer data from one device to another often on the go. As I'm always looking out for inexpensive gadgets to make my life easier this little card reader fits into this category as it will be an improvement on my old card reader in two respects, it has a USB 3.0 connection meaning it's faster than my old one and it also has a micro USB plug as well meaning this can also be used with phones and tablets without the need use a USB to micro USB adaptor which means carrying less gear around with me.
This little card reader measures 5.1 x 1.9 x 1.1 cms meaning it is very compact and as it is made of plastic is also light. On the side of the card reader are 2 slots. one for an SD card and the other for a micro SD card. I had no problems connecting this to my laptop, tablet and phone but the phone will have to be enabled for OTG or this won't work with it.
I think this is a neat little gadget and and happy I bought it. To see this Zoweetek memory card reader on Amazon use this link:

American citizens concerned about Democratic election fraud and voter suppression have launched a petition to the UN requesting emergency electoral monitoring and supervision for the remainder of the 2016 presidential election cycle.
A letter that will be delivered with the petition to the UN Electoral Assistance Division (EAD) says that the integrity of the electoral process in the US has been compromised in order to place an undemocratically chosen candidate in power, and points out the massive discrepancies between exit polls and official results – more than enough to have foreign elections declared fraudulent.
Upon receipt of the petition, the EAD will be legally obliged to acknowledge and investigate the allegations. With lawsuits, university studies, hacked documents, and now the United Nations hounding Clinton, no wonder Bernie Sanders is quietly confident of winning the contested Democratic convention in Philadelphia.
BYPASS THE CENSORS
Sign up to get unfiltered news delivered straight to your inbox.
The letter reads:
We the people of the United States of America are officially requesting the United Nations to monitor our remaining 2016 presidential election. So far we have seen evidence of massive election fraud all across the country, which gives us reason to believe that the fraud will continue. Our president Barack Obama and the U.S. State Department have done nothing about the obvious rigging of our elections, which gives us reasonable suspicion that our government and the integrity of our electoral process has been compromised in order to place their chosen candidate in power against the will of the American people.
The U.S. State Dept. says that a discrepancy in exit polls of more than 2% indicates fraud, we have had discrepancies outside of that margin in at least 16 of the state primaries all the way up to a discrepancy of 23%. These discrepancies have only happened in one of our political parties and they have all been in favor of one candidate. On top of the exit poll discrepancies there has been reports of ballots cast in the names of deceased citizens, patients of mental hospitals, and elderly people with dementia. There has been reports of registration purging, switching of party affiliations, vote flipping, and massive voter suppression. Not to mention the millions of voters who have not been allowed to vote because they do not claim any party affiliation. Multiple major universities have calculated that in order to get our current results without election fraud, the odds would be 1 in 70 billion.
This level of election fraud is usually only done covertly and in 3rd world countries, now it’s being done openly and blatantly in the United States. Our democracy is being stolen and we very well maybe on the brink of a dictatorship, we can no longer trust our government and we need help from the outside. So we are respectively requesting the U.N. to step in and assess the integrity of our electoral process. We also request that you review the apparent fraud of our current results and ensure credibility and transparency moving forward. We feel that your help is imperative to avoid an inevitable major conflict in the U.S. due to corruption in our government.
According to the UN Electoral Assistance Division, the premise of their work is Article 21 (3) of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which says: “The will of the people shall be the basis of the authority of government; this will shall be expressed in periodic and genuine elections.”
Is the will of the people forming the basis of the authority of government in the United States now?
The United Nations has provided several kinds of assistance to countries during elections:
- technical assistance
- election monitoring
- organisation and supervision of elections
Does the Unites States need technical assistance, election monitoring and supervision of this election?
The petetion to the UN Electoral Assitance Division can be found here.

Organizers from the Healthiest Town in America are looking for sponsors and vendors to participate in the third annual event on Saturday, March 5.
During the family friendly event, attendees can participate in a 5K fun walk/run, a bike race and kids activities. People also may also bring their dogs for the Healthy Dog area.
The event’s coordinators use the occasion to educate and inform the public on the recognition, prevention and reversal of obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases.
The Healthiest Town in America does this by holding expos and events, community outreach, and connecting the community with reputable heath-related businesses.
Dr. Jeff Monash so strongly believes in the event’s mission to educate and inform that he is returning as a sponsor for a third year and is serving as the 2011 HTA president.
“I want to do as much as possible to promote a healthier lifestyle for Oro Valley and Tucson residents,” he noted.
The event provides Monash with the unique opportunity to interact one-on-one with people in the community and educate them about his medical specialty — bariatric surgery — and healthier eating habits.
As an added benefit, sponsoring HTA has “increased awareness of who I am and my business,” Monash said.
Sponsorships range in price and types. A tent sponsorship costs $300, which includes a tent with an event table and two chairs. A title sponsorship is $5,000. It includes exposure throughout northwest Tucson with a lead line in all advertising, printed materials, event programs, and the event banner as well as an event table. The title sponsor also will be introduced at the event and receive five minutes of stage time.
A corporate event sponsor is $1,500; these sponsorships are limited to 10 businesses. A stage sponsor is $600; it is limited to nine.
Healthiest Town in America will take place from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the BASIS Charter School parking lot within the Steam Pump Village in Oro Valley. Organizers are expecting 2,000 people to attend the event.

I was sweating so bad during this workout, you could see it in my shoes!! This is a spin on my favorite workout, the 10 to 1 circuit. Start with 10 reps of each exercise (or 20 for abs), then 9 of each, 8 of each, etc. Normally you would go all the way down to 1 of each exercises, or 2 for abs, but the last sets of 5 reps, 4 reps, 3 reps, 2 reps, and 1 rep get really tedious. In this workout I have combined those last 5 sets into 3 sets, so you are instead going from 10 reps each down to six reps each, then three sets of 5 reps. Make sense? Message me if you have any questions, email@example.com.
Once done with the first circuit, take some time to rest and then complete the second circuit. The idea is to get these done as fast as possible, focus on form during the 5-5-5 sets, and do this with minimal rest. Take the full 2 minutes rest between circuits to really regain your breath to be able to perform at your fullest.
Smith Machine Squat: I have seen squats performed facing different ways on the smith machine. The reason I am squatting this way, is it helps me to keep my core engaged, prevents be from sticking my butt out too far, and the line the smith machine follows at this angle really is more natural for a squatting movement. You can try it the other way, but you might find it feels a little weird and unbalanced. I set the bar up just below shoulder height. Walk you legs out in front of you, a little more than you would on a regular squat bar, but your feet are still about shoulder width apart. Using the smith machine for squats really helps to engage your quads. Squat down as you normally would. Your chest should remain upright, because that is good squat form and because the machine doesn’t really allow you to lean forward. On the smith machine, it is easy to let the machine do the work, but still focus on keeping your core engaged. Squeeze that booty as you stand up tall again. Adjust feet if necessary, knees should not be going past the toes.
Barbell Lunge Jumps: Use a barbell across your upper back. Lunge down like normal…Torso upright, both legs bent, knees not past toes. Then jump up, and do a quick foot change so the opposite leg is now in front. Land in a lunge. Continuously do the jump switches until all reps are complete. This really adds a power/cardio movement for your quads and butt, and your core is working to keep stabilized.
Bench Barbell Leg Lifts: Lay down on the bench with a barbell pressed straight up over the chest. Lower your legs to bench level, then use your lower abs to pull them back up towards the bar. The bench requires a little more stability to control your body and keep the barbell level.
Smith Machine Split Lunge: For this movement, I use the same position as I did for squat, again because it is the most natural for our body. Bar is still at shoulder height, just with lighter weights. Set a bench up behind the bar. It might seem like the bench is too far back, but I swear your legs are longer than you think. Kick the leg far back so the top of your foot is resting on the bench, then unrack your weights as you lunge down. Torso is up, back leg bends first, then front leg bends, and you make sure your front knee is not going past your toes. If it is, rack the weights and jump that front foot even farther ahead of your body. Wow this one killed me! Really hits that booty and those quads.
Barbell Squat Jax: Rest the barbell across your upper back. Squat down with chest up, butt back, core engaged, feet wide, hips opened and knees not going past toes. As you jump up, jump those legs in together and land with legs slightly bent. Then jump back out into those wide squats. This works power in your legs and butt, and even hits those adductors!
Bench Plate Ab Twist: Talk about core control! Start balancing your booty on a bench, with torso leaned slightly back (core engaged) and legs bent. Hold a plate at center, then twist the plate to your right, then left. The bench requires even more stability from your body, but as you are shifting the weight back and forth, you will feel how your abs tighten to control the movement. Your obliques are definitely active here, too!

Comments to: firstname.lastname@example.org (Last Update:


This was helpful, but, Robert says, "Once I knew what the vulnerability was, I had to go to each workstation to take care of it." With branches in five locations, that was time-consuming.
So the bank searched and found the Hercules product from Citadel Security Software, which automates much of vulnerability remediation. Hercules is able to accept reports from Retina, and allow the security administrator to determine what action to take.
"We can pick and choose what to remediate," says Roberts.
For example, if a software patch is required, the administrator can direct Hercules to go to the Microsoft site for the update, download it and apply it to each affected workstation.
"That's a great time saver for us," Roberts says.
The price of Hercules also was attractive when compared to other products priced from $20,000 to $30,000 that are doing similar work. Hercules is priced at $21 per device per year; the Bank of Alameda has 50 workstations and 11 servers.
The bank schedules remediation updates for times when users are not on their workstations, so there is little impact on productivity.
"We've been actively using it for six to eight months now, and everything is working great. It's doing exactly what we want it to do," Roberts says. The regulators are also pleased with the bank's proactive stance toward information security. "It's been a useful tool for us and would also be useful for other banks our size."

‘Lots of fun to read, sprouts with a macabre imagination and is, no question, a classic.’ — Sunday Telegraph
Who Are You? is a sparse depiction of the hopeless, emotional polarity of a young couple and their doomed marriage spent in a remote, tropical hell.
She — described only as ‘the girl’ — is young, sophisticated and sensitive; he, ‘Mr Dog-Head’, is an unreconstructed thug and heavy drinker who rapes his wife, otherwise passing his time bludgeoning rats with a tennis racket.
Together with a visiting stranger, ‘Suede Boots’, who urges the woman to escape until he is banished by her husband, these characters live through the same situations twice. Their identities are equally real — or unreal — in each case. With slight variation in the background and the novel’s atmosphere, neither the outcome nor the characters themselves are quite the same the second time. The constant question of the jungle ‘brain fever’ bird remains unanswered — ‘who are you?’
The novel’s typical autobiographical bias can be traced to Kavan’s life in Burma during her first marriage. An experimental piece that clearly anticipates the nouvelle vaguecinema of Jean-Luc Godard, Who Are You? was reissued to widespread acclaim in 1973.
‘To write about this finely economical book in any terms other than its own is cruelly to distort the near-perfection of the original text. There is a vision here which dismays.’ — Robert Nye, Guardian
‘Who Are You? is accomplished and complete . . . so fully imagined, so finely described in spare, effective prose, that it is easy to suspend disbelief.’ — Nina Bawden, Daily Telegraph
ANNA KAVAN (1901–1968) is one of the greatest unsung enigmas in twentieth-century British literature. Born Helen Ferguson, a fraught childhood and two failed marriages led her to change her name to that of one of her characters. Despite struggling with mental illness and heroin addiction for most of her life she was still able to write fiction that was as powerful and memorable as any English female writer of the last 150 years.

The Wamego City Commission has a new commission member,with a swearing-in ceremony at Tuesday’s meeting. City Manager Merl Page introduced Tom Beem, who was nominated and accepted the Commissioner’s position to fill the unexpired term of Larry Fechter, who resigned due to health reasons. Beem was sworn in by City Clerk Shanda Jahnke.
In other business, Chris McDonald approached the City requesting access to his residence from the City’s right-of-way that abuts his property. After discussing all the options and the unusual location of the property, Mayor Pro-Tem Cliff Baughman asked for a motion to table the decision until the next meeting. All parties involved agreed.
Also, City Manager Page read a proclamation for special recognition of Pottawattomie County Economic Development Executive Director Bob Cole for his significant personal commitment and outstanding leadership in promoting economic development to the area. Cole retired last week after 12 years of service.
The commission approved business development items. Page said they were approached by BG Consultants with Benefit District Petitions to access the North Ridge apartment complex off of West Highway 24. According to Page, the City will be participating in the cost of two elements, 17 percent with the Kansas Department of Transportation right-of way, and 10 percent in the Commerce Drive access. The cost of the other two elements will be covered by the developers. Approval was given to move forward in filing the petitions.
In other business, the Commission approved an ordinance to rezone the former Tradewinds property from a C-2 (commercial) to I-1 (light industrial) based on a recommendation from the Planning Commission.
Also, the Commission approved the first change order on the Highway 24/Kaw Valley Road project in the amount of $29,378.56. Page said to expect another change order for the end of the project.

A 90-year-old man was found dead in his home in suburban New Orleans earlier in the day, Jefferson Parish Coroner Gerry Cvitanovich said, bringing the U.S. toll from Isaac to eight. The home was equipped with air conditioning, but the system didn’t work with the electricity out, Cvitanovich said.
Temperatures in the area were in the low 90s on Monday.
“It’s the very young and very old and chronically ill people that are affected,” he said. “The folks in my office are urging everyone to please check on family and get them in air conditioning or get them to a shelter.”
Obama is scheduled to get a firsthand look at recovery efforts in St. John the Baptist Parish, west of New Orleans, where thousands were forced from their homes after Isaac drove water over the banks of Lake Pontchartrain. He is scheduled to tour the parish with Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal and other officials.
Isaac struck the Gulf Coast south of New Orleans as a Category 1 hurricane early Wednesday, the seventh anniversary of the devastating Hurricane Katrina. The storm is being blamed for the deaths of six people in Louisiana and two in Mississippi, according to authorities in both states.
The Louisiana deaths include a man who died by falling from a tree while making preparations for the storm and another who died in a fire as the storm was hitting, said Christina Stephens, a spokeswoman for the Louisiana Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness. Another 19 people were killed in the Caribbean nation of Haiti, authorities there said.
More than 100,000 utility customers in the region remained without power nearly a week later, while nearly 3,000 people were still in shelters because of the flooding that followed.
Evacuation orders — most of them voluntary — remained in place in a number of Louisiana parishes as authorities grappled with new threats posed by rain-swollen rivers and lakes.
In St. Tammany Parish, north of Lake Pontchartrain, those threats included both the rain-swollen Pearl River and a weakened lock on an adjoining canal. Parish officials warned people to stay away from the area, but authorities lifted a mandatory evacuation order after they released water from the lock to relieve pressure.
Forecasters, meanwhile, predict the Pearl River will crest Monday at 19.5 feet, more than 5 feet above flood stage, posing a potential threat to several thousand homes in St. Tammany.
More flood warnings were posted for parts of the Mississippi coast, where rivers north of Pascagoula and Gulfport were running high.
As of Monday morning, about 2,700 people were still registered in shelters inland from the coastal parishes, Stephens said. She said state officials were working with the Federal Emergency Management Agency and local parishes to get those residents back home or into temporary housing soon.
“Our goal is to get them back to their communities so that their children can go to school, they can return to their jobs and start rebuilding their homes,” she said. But she added, “We’re not going to kick anyone out of shelters if they don’t have anyplace else to go right now.”
In Mississippi, fewer than 100 people remained in shelters, according to the state emergency management agency.
Isaac posed the first real test to New Orleans since a $14.5 billion federal effort to reconstruct the city’s flood control system after it failed during Katrina in 2005. Katrina killed nearly 1,800 people, most when the storm overwhelmed the levee system and flooded the city.
Stephens said more than half of St. John the Baptist Parish and Plaquemines Parish, at the mouth of the Mississippi River, remain without power. Both parishes suffered extensive storm damage and flooding, she said.
In St. James Parish, between New Orleans and Baton Rouge, a dusk-to-dawn curfew was imposed after the Blind River crested at flood stage, flooding nearly two dozen homes. National Guard troops were deployed to the area to help with security and possible evacuations, Jindal’s office said.
Most of the areas hit hard by Isaac were outside the new federal levee system that was reconstructed after Katrina.
Crews in Lafitte, on the outskirts of New Orleans, were considering breaching two spots in a levee along Bayou Barataria on Monday to help drain up to 5 feet of floodwater brought by the storm surge, officials said.
State officials have promised that money from fines paid by BP over the Gulf oil spill will be used to reinforce the area levees, Lafitte Mayor Tim Kerner said.
But so far, he says, that hasn’t happened.
“Yeah, it’s frustrating,” Kerner told WWL. “It makes you feel like you’re not doing your doggone job. But I can’t help it if the Corps actually looks me in the face and promises that we’re going to get things and we don’t.”
As many in Louisiana entered their sixth day without power, frustration with the pace of restoration efforts also grew.
At the height of the storm, more than 850,000 customers were reportedly without power in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Texas and Arkansas. By Monday, there were about 108,000 customers without power in Louisiana, with 59,000 of them in Jefferson Parish, according to Entergy Louisiana.
“Some areas are delayed due to high water conditions,” the power company said on its website.
But for Tyrone Wilson, who relies on an electric scooter for transportation, the return of power means the return of his mobility.
“I got to go put it up because I got no power,” Wilson told WWL. “I have no way to get around. I have to get medicine and go to the doctor. I have no way to get there.”

With the four-week old Israeli cost-of-living tent protests swelling in intensity -- capped by 300,000 demonstrators taking to the streets on Saturday night - I am fascinated by the fact that the term social justice has become a household word.
The official slogan of the demonstrations -- The nation demands social justice! (HaAm doresh tzedek chevrati!) - involves the headiest and most ethereal of concepts.
But commentators have been rightly asking whether the use of the term social justice is deserved.
How can the nation demand social justice when areas as diverse as education, health care, childcare and housing are being discussed, while Israels policies toward the Palestinians are being ignored?
To a Diaspora Jew who is used to seeing the phrase social justice used in the context of far-reaching, spiritually-infused debates about tikkun olam (repairing the world), I understand the confusion.
When I hear Jewish souls talking about social justice, what comes to mind are clarion calls like that of Or Rose, Jo Ellen Green Kaiser and Margie Kleins edited book Righteous Indignation: A Jewish Call for Justice.
There, the authors parse issues ranging from health care, the environment, and AIDS, to public schools, Darfur, globalization and of course Israeli-Palestinian relations. They also debate the finer points of the relationship between transformative social justice and the temporary, band-aid salve of social action.
But in the Israeli case, the key to unraveling the dilemma about who exactly, is meant to be the beneficiary of this social justice, comes down to a rabbit hole of sticky definitions, made trickier due to the nature of the Jewish state. Specifically, two key words in that slogan -- chevrati and am --each possess quite different meanings.
In Hebrew, chevrati means both social and societal. So the protests are not necessarily about the broadest reaches of social justice. They are confined to how Israelis want their own society to be ordered.
But this, in turn, requires us to ask: What are the boundaries of Israeli society? What is the role of Israels Arab minority as well as the Palestinians in the West Bank?
Second, while most translations of the slogan suggest that it is the people" who demand social justice, the Hebrew word am cannot be thought of apart from the term nation.
The State of Israel was created as a refuge for Jews fleeing anti-Semitism, and as an outlet for the Jewish people to express its collective longings by joining the family of nation-states. So while almost 20% of Israeli citizens are Arab, the term Am cannot but connote Am Yisrael -- in short, Jews.
While some Israeli Arab citizens have joined the protests (one tweeter reported that the main slogan was being chanted by pockets of protesters in both Arabic and Hebrew), Israels Arab minority exists uncomfortably within a Jewish state whose official narratives are very different. (At the extreme, exclusionary end of the Jewish Israeli narrative are the hilltop youth and Kahane Chai supporters, several dozen of whom have joined the tent camp wearing shirts emblazoned with Tel Aviv for the Jews".)
On top of this, the Israeli Knesset has recently been debating a bill that would see Arabic demoted from official-language status, while Israels democratic status would be subordinated to that of its Jewish character. While Rothschild Boulevard burns, the Knesset is fiddling with explosive identity issues.
Whether or not Israelis are consciously ignoring the Palestinian issue, the issue wont go away. And while the two possible definitions explain some of the ambiguity, the policy choice is clear.
Either the demonstrations are about improving society west of the Green Line, which suggests that Israel should adjust its borders to capture its own society only, or the marchers are also demanding social justice for West Bank Palestinians.
Either way, it points to the same two options: two states for two peoples, or one state for two peoples. Israelis in droves prefer the former. To achieve it, Israel must negotiate, retreat, and rethink its policies towards its own Palestinian minority. And whatever the borders of the Jewish state, Israel must not sacrifice democracy on the altar of ethnicity.
The general mass of protesters has been careful not to be dragged into partisan finger-pointing. But this isnt about parties. Its about politics, policies, and personal and collective identity. The questions what is our society, who is the nation and what are the borders of our state? loom in the background, made all the more urgent by the planned Palestinian bid for UN-sanctioned statehood in September.
When the Israeli Summer crests, and the tents and sofas have been moved from Rothschild boulevard back to the apartments which may or may not enjoy lower rent, Israelis will still be left with echoes of the most fundamental questions of Israeli national identity, Israeli dreams, and the fate of the Palestinians living in their midst.

YEREVAN, September 30. / ARKA /. British ambassador to Armenia, Jonathan Aves, urged today Armenian authorities to be more clear-cut when articulating their proposals on cooperation with EU in the light of Armenia’s declared intention to join the Russia-led Customs Union.
Speaking at a news conference he said he would like to encourage the Armenian authorities to present clear proposals on those fields where they see further cooperation with EU as well as on Armenia’s priorities.
“I would like to mention that there is a wish on both sides to move forward the relations,” he added.
He said following president Serzh Sargsyan’s statement about Armenia’s accession to the Customs Union he saw disappointment and surprise when discussing the U-move with colleagues from other EU member countries. "We are trying to find the right format to continue the cooperation," he said.
On economic cooperation he said the United Kingdom is interested in increasing investments in Armenia
"Today, a number of British companies are making investments in Armenia. The largest of them is the HSBC Bank. There are also British investments in the pharmaceutical sector, however, the overall situation is not satisfactory , investments are small, and we want to encourage more British companies to invest here,’ the ambassador said, highlighting the involvement of a British mining company Lydian International in the development of Amulsar gold deposit in Armenia.
He said the company is creating new jobs here, pays taxes and serves also as an example of cooperation to other international companies.
According to the National Statistical Service of Armenia, British investments in Armenia in January- June 2013 amounted to approximately $5 million (a 42 percent decline from the year before). All were direct investment. -0-

When To Put Basil On A Pizza
Basil is one of those flavorsome herbs that perfectly complements a slice of fresh pizza. From a herby slice of margarita through to a zingy chicken pizza topped with fresh basil, this herb can be used to flavor pizza in many different ways.
But when should you put basil on a pizza? Fresh basil leaves are best added after the pizza is cooked, as they will wilt (or crisp) and take on a slightly bitter flavor if cooked. Dried basil should be mixed with the marinara sauce and cooked with the pizza to bring out its delicate herbiness.
If you’re creating beautiful artisan pizzas at home, you’ll want to make sure you’re adding your toppings at the right time to get the best flavor! Keep reading to find out everything you need to know about when to put basil on a pizza.
Why Put Basil On A Pizza?
Basil is one of those herbs that is all too easy to take for granted.
It is a key ingredient in many different types of cooking and in so many recipes that we forget how important this flavoring really is.
Basil has a fresh and pungent flavor and aroma that is quite unlike any other herb. It is hard to describe exactly what it tastes like, but it adds a hint of summery flavor to salads, sauces, and of course, pizza!
This delicious herb also has an intense aroma which will enhance the flavor of your pizza.
There is nothing quite like the smell of a freshly cooked pizza, as the aromatic herbs combined with zingy marinara sauce and bubbling golden cheese tantalize your taste buds!
How Is Basil Used On Pizza?
Basil can be used in many different ways on pizza.
This herb is readily available in both fresh and dried forms and also as a flavoring in basil-infused oils.
Dried basil can be used alone or mixed with other dried herbs. It can be blended with the marinara sauce that is spread over the base of the pizza or sprinkled over the toppings on the pizza.
Fresh basil can also be chopped and added to the marinara sauce. Alternatively, whole or torn basil leaves could be used to garnish a pizza before serving.
Basil-infused oils are commonly drizzled over the top of pizza, to add a delicate but very decadent flavor.
When creating the perfect pizza is important to understand which type of basil to use, and when is the right time to put it on a pizza.
Basil is one of the key ingredients in many different types of pizza, but it needs to be used in the right way to fully appreciate it.
What Does Basil Taste Like On A Pizza?
The flavor and texture of basil on a pizza will depend on the type of basil you use and whether it was added before or after the pizza is cooked.
Fresh basil leaves are commonly added to a pizza after it has been cooked as a garnish.
They will wilt slightly as a result of the heat of the pizza but generally retain a fresh flavor and texture. When used in this way, fresh basil leaves work perfectly with a rich marinara sauce and cheesy topping!
If fresh basil leaves are added to a pizza before it is cooked, their flavor and texture will undergo some considerable changes in the oven.
Basil will lose some of its natural sweetness when cooked and may taste slightly bitter. It will also become soft and wilted — it may also lose its vibrant green color.
Dried basil also has a slightly bitter flavor, and this is particularly noticeable when it is used as a topping rather than blended with the marinara sauce.
For this reason, it is often preferable to use fresh basil as a garnish and dried basil when combined with the sauce.
When To Put Basil On A Pizza
If you are feeling confused about when to put basil on a pizza, don’t panic!
Here is the ultimate guide to when to put basil on a pizza, including when using fresh or dried basil, as well as basil-infused oils.
In our opinion, there is only one way in which fresh basil should be added to a pizza, and that is as a garnish after the pizza has been cooked.
This is the optimal way to retain the fresh zingy flavor of basil as well as the slightly crunchy texture and vibrant green color.
Whether you use your basil leaves whole or not is entirely up to you. A garnish of whole basil leaves gives a vibrant splash of color to a cooked pizza. Alternatively, you can tear them into smaller pieces and scatter them over the pizza.
If you want to cook basil with your pizza, the best way to do this is to chop it and combine it with the marinara sauce. This will infuse the sauce with a delicious herby flavor!
Don’t be tempted to add whole or chopped basil leaves to the top of your pizza before cooking it.
When fresh basil is exposed to heat, it wilts quickly within a matter of minutes. This can bring out an unpleasant bitterness to the leaves, which will not compliment your carefully prepared pizza.
The only exception to this rule is if you are lucky enough to have a wood-fired oven to cook your pizza in.
These ovens reach such a high temperature that pizzas can cook in a matter of minutes. This means that you could add fresh basil with your other toppings and its flavor would not be affected by the short cooking time.
This is the way that pizza has been traditionally cooked in Italy for many centuries — we see no reason to change this rule!
Dried basil is used very differently from fresh basil when cooking a pizza.
Dried basil has a great herby flavor, but with a slight bitterness that you will not notice in fresh basil.
The best way to use dried basil in a pizza is to combine it with the marinara sauce. The delicate, dried flakes will soak up the juice from the marinara and infuse the sauce with its delicious flavor.
Whilst some dried herbs (such as oregano) taste great when sprinkled on top of a pizza, we would not recommend that you do this with dried basil. The slightly bitter flavor of dried basil will only be intensified as the pizza cooks in the oven.
Basil-infused oil is a great way to bring a fresh, herby flavor to your pizzas.
However, like fresh and dried basil, there is a right time and place to use it.
Most infused oils are made using virgin or extra virgin olive oil. These types of oils should not be used for cooking as they can change in flavor at high temperatures.
So, if you want to flavor your pizza with basil-infused oil, this should be drizzled over the toppings either after the pizza is cooked or during the final few minutes of the cooking time.
Here’s a sample pack of infused oils so you can experiment with different flavors on salads, pizza, pasta, and more!
How To Use Basil On Different Types Of Pizza
Confused about which type of basil to use and when? Don’t worry, we’ve got the correct way to include basil in many different types of pizza, as well as some great serving suggestions!
Margherita pizza is the ultimate classic pizza recipe. A thin, crispy pizza base is topped with a fresh marinara sauce, chunks of succulent mozzarella, and slices of sweet, juicy tomatoes.
There is only one way to add basil to Margherita pizza, and that is by garnishing the top of the cooked pizza with whole basil leaves.
They should be scattered amongst the hot, bubbling chunks of mozzarella, allowing them to wilt gracefully into your delicious pizza slices.
Caprese pizza is very much like Margherita, but with the addition of a rich balsamic glaze.
We would suggest that you top this pizza with freshly shredded basil leaves. For a more intense basil flavor, you could also use a basil-infused oil in addition to your balsamic glaze.
Pizza Melanzane is a decadent and sumptuous treat! This traditional Italian pizza is topped with mozzarella and sauteed slices of eggplant.
We would suggest that you add a sprinkling of dried basil to the tomato base of this pizza to bring out the herby flavor without overwhelming the delicate toppings.
Pizza prosciutto is topped with thin slices of cooked ham on a punchy tomato base. This intense flavor can take a good hit of basil, which is why we’d recommend using both dried and fresh basil on this pizza!
Add dried basil to the tomato sauce to bring a herby flavor to every mouthful, and top the cooked pizza with freshly-shredded basil leaves. If you want to go basil-crazy, serve a dipping bowl of basil-infused oil on the side for the crusts!
Pollo Ad Astra Pizza
Chicken and basil make great flavor companions, and adding a handful of shredded fresh basil leaves to a Pollo ad Astra pizza for the last couple of minutes of the cooking time is a perfect way to bring them together.

Kids rescued from Russian Muslim sect`s bunker
London: Dozens of children have been rescued from an underground bunker of a Russian Islamist sect where they were living without daylight for a decade, Sky News reported on Thursday.
The group was identified as the Fayzarahmanist sect, named after its 83-year-old organiser Fayzrahman Satarov, who declared himself a prophet and his house an independent Islamic state.
Members of the sect found living with around 20 children have been charged with child abuse.
Authorities said the cult had existed without natural light or heating in an "expansive man-made cave" underneath a brick building on the outskirts of the central Russian city of Kazan.
Only a few of the 70 sect members were allowed to leave the property to work as traders at a local market, Russian media reported.
Deputy prosecutor Irina Petrova said the bunker had eight levels of rooms which were like "cells", lacking sunlight and ventilation.
Many of the children, aged between 18 months and 17 years, were born underground and had never seen daylight. One 17-year-old girl was reported to be pregnant.
The children will now be cared for at an orphanage.
The house above the bunker on a 700-square-metre plot of land will be demolished, police said.

Malia Kuo. Undertale, released Sept.
Of course, Undertale is not directly responsible for their successes and credit should go to their talented developers, but its release proved that Angel number 1131 games could make just as much money and be just as popular as big-budget triple-A titles. What made Undertale such a classic?
We can start by looking at its themes — two of them, precisely: that of choice and responsibility, and that of humanity and monstrosity.
You play as a human child, fallen from the surface world into the Underground, a space divided into various themed zones and entirely populated by monsters. Your goal is simple: to escape and return home.
This seems fairly standard, until one factors in the intricate worldbuilding and the immense reactivity Undertale has to player choice. In the setting of Undertale, humans Donald duck talking dirty in the antagonistic role, having trapped monsters underground after a destructive war.
Monsters are defined by their compassion and are explicitly said to be weaker than humans — a striking reversal of the usual depiction of monster-human dynamics in most fiction. The quality that elevates Undertale above the rest of the pack is the complexity with which its themes are expressed through mechanics unique to the video game medium. No My strange addiction eating ass of Undertale feel superficial or without purpose.
This is made all the more striking considering how Undertale — with simplistic pixelated graphics — is remarkably low-budget. Not in Undertale.
Every fight features bullet hell patterns that reflect the personality of your opponent, and — with one exception — every fight can be resolved without either you or the monster dying. The act of leveling up gains Chatroulette verification code and sinister ificance, and even simply gaining new equipment lends important insight into the past of the world.
And besides its subversions of video game norms, Undertale has a quirky sense of humor, diverse Mens camp made for each other well-written characters with nuanced interrelationships and a heartfelt soundtrack.
Still, is Undertale relevant in ? Seriously, if my character is willing to take out an army, why would she stop at the general?
Is there a reason why players crave violence, and why developers continue to indulge them to this Man mur barber shop What does it say about the industry that mainstream Linda hamilton sexy games continue to focus on killing, killing, killing — especially when most real-life conflicts are solved by talking, running away or even knocking someone out.
Undertale asks these questions. All in all, Undertale has come to define indie game success, and it remains highly influential when it comes to game de post Tweets by yaledailynews.

Back in October, 30 Seconds to Mars posted a short film to promote their single “City of Angels,” which featured interview clips of the band and a number of renowned artists, actors and athletes telling stories about living in Los Angeles. Now, frontman Jared Leto reveals he has plans to create more clips to go along with the extended video for the track.
“I always pictured [the “City of Angels” video] as more of an art installation, where you have this one singular body of work and then several companion pieces that expanded upon a theme, an idea or a person,” he tells ABC News Radio. “So right now we have six companion pieces.”
The singer says he’s been collaborating with Vevo to create a unique visual experience for the forthcoming content. “We’ve been actually working on a way to present that’s as much more, like, if you would walk into a gallery, and you had the opportunity to sit in different locations, and kind of experience a singular project, but different aspects of it,” he notes. “So depending on what room you’re in, you’d be able to expand upon an idea or a thought and then move on to the next.”
Leto adds the new content will likely feature additional footage he recorded with a number of celebs featured in the “City of Angels” video, including rapper Kanye West , pop star Selena Gomez and actors James Franco , Lindsay Lohan , Juliette Lewis , Olivia Wilde , Alan Cumming and Corey Feldman . “We have such great stories and people really shared such an incredible part of their lives with us that we have a tremendous amount of material that we’re working on and we’re excited to get out there,” he explains.
A release date for the new material has yet to be announced.
