AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open a masterstroke for “Brand Mauritius”
The third edition of the AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open will feature the biggest field in its history as a Major winner and some of the most exciting young stars in the global game headline this €1 million tournament at The Heritage Golf Club from 30 November to 3 December.
Former Open champion and current world number 20 Louis Oosthuizen will make his debut in this tri-sanctioned tournament between the European Tour, Sunshine Tour and Asian Tour.
Oosthuizen is also co-designing the second golf course at Heritage Resorts in partnership with renowned golf course architect Peter Matkovich, who designed the award-winning Heritage Golf Club and which was voted the Best Golf Course in the Indian Ocean at the World Golf Awards of 2014, 2015 and 2016.
“I am thrilled to be co-designing this incredible second golf course at Heritage Resorts with Peter Matkovich. I am really looking forward to working on the luxurious land of Bel Ombre and creating a golf course which perfectly balances the challenge of a championship layout with the element of fun that needs to be incorporated into any golf course,” Oosthuizen said.
Oosthuizen will be joined in the 156-man field by young stars such as French professional Romain Langasque and the South African duo of Brandon Stone and Dylan Frittelli.
Langasque, who was only 20 when he tied the record for the lowest back nine (31) in Masters history by an amateur and who is playing in his rookie season on the European Tour, will make his debut in the tournament.
“I am really looking forward to playing in my first AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open at The Heritage Golf Club. By reputation, I know that the golf course is fantastic and I love visiting the beautiful island of Mauritius,” he said.
Stone is a multiple European Tour winner who this year played in his first US Open and finished tied 35th.
“I really enjoy the traveling and just seeing places I’ve never been to before. I’m trying to get the full value of playing on the European Tour, which is a world tour. I’m hoping to experience a lot more than I did last season, and try and make a few more memories and hopefully play some good golf,” said Stone.
And Frittelli heads to Mauritius having broken through with his maiden victory on the European Tour this year in the Lyoness Open.
“For me this year has been about believing I’m good enough to be one of the best in the world. I’ve always been patient about moving from one phase to the next in my career. The European Tour victory was recognition of keeping the faith, sticking to my process and trusting myself. That builds confidence because you know you can play and be competitive at every level in this game,” he said.
Other top South Africans in the field include the inaugural AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open champion George Coetzee and multiple Sunshine Tour winner Jaco van Zyl.
This year’s AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open has taken a significant step forward in terms of positioning itself as Mauritius’s premier golf tournament and enhancing the golf tourism industry on the island.
The tournament also has a new date on the European Tour calendar, making it the second counting event on The 2018 Race to Dubai.
“This is a milestone year for arguably the most significant tournament in the growing partnership between the Sunshine Tour, European Tour and Asian Tour to strengthen golf in the southern hemisphere. The strength of our partnerships is reflected in how quickly this tournament has grown to become the biggest sporting event in the Indian Ocean,” said Selwyn Nathan, the Executive Director of the Sunshine Tour.
With a wealth of golf courses designed by luminaries such as Ernie Els, Bernhard Langer and Peter Matkovich, the AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open plays a key role in the ongoing development of golf on the island by the Mauritius Golf Federation.
“The Mauritius Golf Federation is once again honoured to host the professionals from the three Tours. Their presence in the biggest golf tournament in Mauritius plays a key role in our own efforts to keep developing golf here and give our own young stars something to aspire to,” said Christophe Curé, President of the Mauritius Golf Federation.
“We are extremely proud of the world-class golf courses we have on offer in Mauritius, and this tournament is a wonderful representation of Mauritius as an important roleplayer in the golf industry.”
The Heritage Golf Club will host the AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open for the second time in three years, entrenching its status as the premier golf destination in the Indian Ocean.
“This tournament is definitely a unique opportunity to highlight to the world what Mauritius has to offer in terms of business and sport whilst reminding them of the beauty and hospitality that Mauritius has to offer,” said Philippe Espitalier-Noël, Chief Executive Officer of the Rogers Group.
“Our diversified range of world-class golf courses in Mauritius have the playing quality that modern golf demands and with all the services that are required for a memorable golf experience. The country currently boasts nine 18-hole courses and another two are due for completion at the end of 2017 and 2018, including a second one here on the Domaine de Bel Ombre.
“Our island is recognised as the best golf destination for the Africa, Gulf States and Indian Ocean region by the International Association of Golf Tour Operators (IAGTO). According to IAGTO, ‘Mauritius is the stellar performer in this part of the world, creating and developing a sustainable appeal as a golf destination for the past decade’.”
As a major regional sponsor of golf, AfrAsia Bank’s global reach and diversity reflects the opportunities created by the AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open to provide sponsorship value for companies seeking added exposure in the markets of Africa, Asia and Europe.
The tournament has a strong portfolio of main sponsors including AfrAsia Bank, Air Mauritius (Official Airline), Heritage Resorts, the Mauritius Tourism Promotion Authority (MTPA), Anahita Mauritius, Villas Valriche, Jaguar (Official Vehicle), Coca-Cola and Rogers.
“At the outset, the tournament’s objective is to place Mauritius at the forefront and since its launch in 2015 we have witnessed an excellent collaboration between the Government, Private and Public sectors, making this tournament truly unique with all working together towards one common vision,” said Sanjiv Bhasin, Chief Executive Officer of AfrAsia Bank.
“We believe the event has established and will continue to establish the ‘Mauritius Brand’ on a global platform, and the two key businesses which will benefit more than others are the Tourism and Financial Services industries.
“At AfrAsia we have embarked on a journey to position the bank as an institution which promises to be committed to service excellence and to become an employer of choice. With these strategic goals, having the brand established and recognised is a significant necessity. The tournament has been a catalyst when deploying our brand globally and remains a perfect fit for us.”

Drake’s new album, Views has stubbornly refused to leave the No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200 albums chart.
The album has spent four straight weeks at the top of the chart and now has the most weeks at No. 1 for an album by a male artist in over four years.
The last man to spend more time at No. 1 with an album was Michael Buble, who racked up five weeks (all consecutive) in the penthouse with his Christmas set (between Dec. 10, 2011 and Jan. 7, 2012).
Since Buble’s Christmas, the only albums by male artists to score three weeks at No. 1 have been Views, Justin Timberlake’s The 20/20 Experience and The Weeknd’s Beauty Behind the Madness.
Views earned another 189,000 equivalent album units (down 21 per cent) in the week ending May 26, according to Nielsen Music. Of that figure, 50,000 were in traditional album sales (down 39 percent).
Views is overwhelmingly powered by streams of its songs, as its Stream Equivalent Albums totaled 111,000 units for the week. (It gathered an additional 27,000 units in Track Equivalent Album.)

As part of its restructuring program, Indian wind turbine manufacturer Natural Energy Processing Company (NEPC India), formerly with strong links to NEG Micon, has formed a new company -- Southern Windfarms. NEPC's entire wind business has been transferred to the new company, including the NEPC brand name, tower manufacturing and assembly facilities in Pondicherry, one wind farm and maintenance contracts for over 1000 turbines. NEPC India has installed 50 MW in the last six months and has debts totalling more than $30 million. "Restructuring is the fastest way of getting debt-free," says the company's Tirupathi Khemka, whose family is part of a group of key investors in Southern Windfarms. The new venture, he adds, hopes to set up its own design centre in Copenhagen within the next month as "Denmark has the best brains for design in wind energy." Having already designed a 225 kW machine for use in low wind regimes, for which a 25 MW order for a US client has already been secured, Khemka says the company will focus on "making our turbines site-specific to match the needs of clients." The company will offer turbine sizes up to 5 MW, he says, adding partnership talks with a German company are well underway with a co-operation agreement expected to be announced shortly. By the end of March 2006, Southern Windfarms hopes to have a total installed capacity of 150 MW.


A job system manages a group of worker threads across multiple cores. It usually has one worker thread per logical CPU core, to avoid context switching (although it may reserve some cores for the operating system or other dedicated applications).
A job system puts jobs into a job queue to execute. Worker threads in a job system take items from the job queue and execute them. A job system manages dependenciesIn the context of the Package Manager, a dependency is a specific package version (expressed in the form
package_name@package_version) that a project or another package requires in order to work. Projects and packages use the dependencies attribute in their manifests to define the set of packages they require. For projects, these are considered direct dependencies; for packages, these are indirect, or transitive, dependencies. More info
See in Glossary and ensures that jobs execute in the appropriate order.
A job is a small unit of work that does one specific task. A job receives parameters and operates on data, similar to how a method call behaves. Jobs can be self-contained, or they can depend on other jobs to complete before they can run.
In complex systems, like those required for game development, it is unlikely that each job is self-contained. One job is usually preparing the data for the next job. Jobs are aware of and support dependencies to make this work.

It often seems Nassau County government is wrongheaded. We’re hopeful Karen Blitz, a neurologist, can help.
This is the first time Blitz, 59, has sought political office, but the Rockville Centre Democrat believes her math abilities would help with the budget and she says her science background puts her in the perfect position to address public health.
A true political outsider, Blitz sees the county government as corrupt. She correctly wants an independent inspector general and believes Republican leaders can’t even admit to the problem.
Lawrence Republican Howard Kopel, 66, is after a fifth term, and wrapping up his strongest stint by far. Over the past two years, he’s been an increasingly vocal and effective advocate for the taxpayer, particularly in fighting a silly deal to “lease” the sewer system to an investor. But Blitz’s unique qualities are too much to pass up.
Newsday endorses Blitz.

How do you suggest I fix my focusing problems resulting from my facial paralysis?
AUG 12, 2017
I had Bell's palsy (a nerve problem that affects the muscles of your face) two years ago. The muscles of my right eye (the side that was affected) are weak. My right does not pick up as much light as the left, the pupil dilates slower and the muscle is weaker. I know I have synkinesis (mismatched wiring of muscles from improper retraining) from recovering from the facial paralysis and this causes my eye to go out of focus when making certain facial expressions. How do you suggest I go about fixing this? I'm 21 and have been wearing glasses for 3 years. I do not expect a miraculous change in my vision, I'm just looking to strengthen the muscle for a brighter future.
It is unfortunate that we currently do not have a solution for controlling the intraocular mechanisms of accommodation. You may wish to speak with your ophthalmologist, or a neurophthalmologist. Perhaps there is a type of contact lens or multifocal lens that may help you. Additionally, you may be a candidate for a Botox injection to soothe the extent of the synkinesis.

3.5 camshaft mods...
I have read post after post about the limited amount of mods available for the 3.5. Has anyone tried changing the cam profile; more lift or duration?
Does anyone know or have the stock cam profile/specifications?
I have heard about performance ECM's available, where do you get those?
Proted throttle body's?
We do a fair amount of drag racing and my wife wants a car of her own, so I am looking to make a street/strip car out of her Intrepid. I am aiming for the 14.5-15.0 second range, which I think should be easy to achieve.

By Julie Sneider, senior associate editorPositive train control costs and implementation. The uncertainty of federal funding. Aging fleets and infrastructure. Rising construction costs. Falling ridership. Recruitment and retention of younger workers.Those are just some of the major issues that are keeping transit agency leaders busy beyond their day-to-day operations of trains and buses, according to survey responses the agencies submitted for the 2018 edition of Progressive Railroading’s “Passenger Rail at a Glance” report.Many of this year’s comments are similar to topics that agency leaders have raised on surveys in previous years. One challenge that’s surfaced more recently is the cost and time associated with meeting the federal mandate to implement positive train control (PTC). The deadline is Dec. 31, although commuter railroads may be granted a two-year extension if they meet certain requirements as defined by the Federal Railroad Administration.Another example: Transit funding — at federal, state and local levels — remains a constant issue.Sound Transit, for instance, cited “federal funding uncertainty” and “local funding challenges” as two of its major worries.The Seattle-area agency noted that the Trump administration’s proposed budget for fiscal-year 2019 called for cutting federal grants that support building new mass transit projects. If that were to happen, it would “cause far-reaching impacts on the construction of voter-approved projects in the Puget Sound region, with the most immediate being elimination of $1.17 billion in New Starts funding for Lynnwood Link light-rail extension,” Sound Transit officials wrote on their survey. “It would also block a grant request for extending light-rail to Federal Way.”Slated for completion in 2024, the $2.9 billion Lynnwood Link Extension would continue Sound Transit light-rail service 8.5 miles into Snohomish County, adding four stations. The Federal Way Link Extension would continue the light-rail route south from SeaTac, about 2 miles south of the airport, to Federal Way on a 7.6-mile primarily elevated alignment with three stations.Sound Transit officials also expressed concern about the potential impact of a citizen initiative that aims to roll back a portion of taxes that voters approved for transportation projects in 2016.“The state Legislature could choose to enact the tax rollback if [the initiative] qualifies for the ballot or pass it along to statewide voters to consider next November,” Sound Transit officials wrote. Meanwhile, the cost of construction and real estate continues to escalate in the Seattle area, which is growing faster than many metro regions. As a result, the Lynnwood Link Extension budget has ballooned by about $500 million, while the Federal Way Link Extension budget has gone up by $460 million, Sound Transit noted.Following is a sampling of other transit agencies' answers to the question: “What are some of the hot issues or challenges your agency is dealing with right now?Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART)“BART’s top priorities are enhancing rider safety and improving system cleanliness. The BART Police Department is moving forward with an aggressive officer recruitment campaign while the new budget includes additional resources to boost homeless outreach, harden stations against fare evasion, and hire more police dispatchers. BART also has revamped its station cleaning strategy to better utilize resources, enhance training and make sure cleaners have access to the best equipment.”Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART)“The need for substantial, predictable federal funding for major capital projects continues.”Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority“Funding, funding, funding. … State-of-good-repair backlog, including need for new rail cars, of over $550 million.”Metropolitan Transit Authority of Harris County, Texas (METRO)Recovery from “Tropical Storm Harvey” remains a challenge, as does the “procurement and replacement of a traction power substation.”MTA-Long Island Rail Road“Aging fleets, insufficient fleet spares, part obsolescence, older infrastructure, higher ridership.”Northeast Illinois Regional Commuter Railroad Corp. (Metra)“Adequate capital funding to return the railroad to a state of good repair has been an ongoing need. Aging equipment and infrastructure requires an annual investment of $1.2 billion over the next decade to achieve a state of good repair. Metra’s annual capital program provides less than a sixth of that amount.”Regional Transportation District of Denver (RTD)“Employee retention and recruitment. Rail ridership has increased, while bus ridership has decreased. Annual RTD ridership is down, but it’s down notable less than other transit agencies around the U.S.”Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA)“SEPTA is now in a position to reinvest in the system at a greater level than has been possible before. There are many projects planned with the intention of restoring this legacy transit system to a state of good repair. Investing in the infrastructure without negatively impacting service requires a significant amount of program planning and coordination.”Trinity Railway Express (TRE)“Balancing the capital cost of PTC, implementation of PTC and the other capital improvements is proving to be a challenge for the TRE. Launching major capital improvement projects — such as the Medical District Drive and Trinity River double-tracking and bridge repairs and replacements — also provides significant reconfiguration management challenges for the implementation of PTC and for general passenger-service operations.”

Chinese rice contributes to global food security
"We exported nearly 5,000 tonnes of hybrid rice seeds to Pakistan every year, and the yield of some varieties reached 800 kg per mu (0.067 hectares), about 30 percent higher than local varieties," said Jiang Sanqiao, vice general manager of Win-all Hi-tech Seed Co., Ltd., the producer of these seeds.
Besides Pakistan, the company also exported hybrid rice seeds to several other countries, including Bangladesh and Angola, Jiang added.
As the largest food producer and the third largest food exporter in the world, China has dedicated itself to promoting Chinese rice seeds and planting techniques to more countries and contributing its share to the safeguarding of global food security.
In 1979, hybrid rice began to be introduced to the world, benefiting nearly 70 countries across five continents. This has been a remarkable contribution to their grain output increase and agricultural development and offered a Chinese solution to food shortages in developing countries.
"Chinese hybrid rice seeds are high-yield and are more drought resistant. I can earn 100,000 Pakistani rupees (about 426 U.S. dollars) from planting one season of hybrid rice," said Zizam Jagsi, a Pakistani farmer who buys over 800 kg of Chinese hybrid rice seeds each year.
While promoting high-yield rice varieties, China is also sharing agricultural techniques and strengthening scientific cooperation with other countries, to help cultivate rice varieties that are more suited to the local conditions.
After years of research and testing, Botswana launched a ceremony to celebrate the harvest of Chinese water-saving and drought-resistant rice in the southern African country last year.
This rice variety is also more adaptable and environmentally friendly. Now, this variety has been introduced to 11 African countries, bringing higher yields and income to local farmers.
"We have been developing rice varieties based on the local climate and hope the Chinese rice varieties can help African countries achieve food self-sufficiency as soon as possible," said Liu Zaochang, a researcher with the Shanghai Agrobiological Gene Center, who is also one of the members of the development team of the water-saving and drought-resistant rice.
To promote hybrid rice planting techniques, China has sent a large number of agricultural experts to dozens of countries and regions.
In 2015, Win-all Hi-tech Seed Co., Ltd. established a branch in Bangladesh to cultivate new rice varieties and launch scientific cooperation with local people.
Lian Chengye, general manager of the branch company, said that they launched a new project in 2022, which includes establishing scientific laboratories, a storage house for seeds, and a seeds processing workshop, aiming to promote advanced agricultural technologies in Bangladesh.

The police have opened a docket of attempted murder against a group of Ekurhuleni metro police officers who allegedly shot at a motorist when he skipped a stop sign then refused to stop on Human Rights Day, lobby group Justice Project South Africa said on Monday.
Police were not immediately able to confirm the statement, but the Justice Project said the incident was being investigated.
It alleged that the motorist, who apparently skipped the stop sign in Olifantsfontein, was shot at and that a witness who took pictures of the incident was arrested for interfering with a police investigation.
It also alleges that one of the metro police officials was not wearing a uniform or other identification and refused to provide her name.
The group said it did not condone the disregarding of laws - like having to stop when ordered to do so by police - but questioned the alleged use of violence.
"There is also nothing in South African law which gives metro police the right to open fire without exhausting all other means of stopping a vehicle unless they are fired upon first," the project's chairperson Howard Dembovsky said.
"Only a highly-skilled driver would stand any chance of evading the attempts of several police vehicles, some of which were bakkies and driven by officers who have been sufficiently trained to force him to halt."
The motorist will appear in the Tembisa Magistrate's Court on April 7 on charges of reckless or negligent driving, intimidation, damage to property and resisting arrest, Dembovsky said.
The charge against the man arrested for taking a photograph of a metro police officer had been referred for decision. - Sapa

A Plymouth tech firm has seen its turnover hit £2.5million as the coronavirus pandemic created an e-commerce boom.
IT and investment company Vertical Plus saw nearly all of its 50 client businesses generate increased sales due to the demand for home shopping.
The company, headquartered at Plymouth Science Park, invests in e-commerce businesses with potential and in return gets a percentage of their sales.
This investment includes building clients’ platforms, their inventory and their market edge by providing all-encompassing strategic consultancy, inventory and technical support.
“It’s performance -based selling,” said sales director Justin Smith.
David Gadd, Vertical Plus chief executive, said: “We think of ourselves as investors. Some call us an agency, some call us an IT company, but we don’t give them (partner firms) cash, but do give a website and fully managed service.”
Clients include Plymouth-based and national firms such as Roof Giant, jewellery company Catherine Best, and The Pet Express.
With lockdown forcing the closure of “non-essential” retailers Vertical Plus has seen its clients’ e-commerce turnover hit £25million through its platform.
Mr Gadd said 48 of the firm’s 50 clients had seen turnover double during the past year. He said: “The increase in turnover for most of our partners has double and in some cases trebled.

Developers plan to construct four apartment complexes with a total of 800 units in St. Petersburg’s Gateway area. The first development is expected to open in April and the last will open in two years.
Making an early debut with its first lease already signed is Elan Gateway, a 240-unit by Charleston, S.C.-based Greystar on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Street at 118th Avenue N the Tampa Bay Times said.
Following that, Tampa’s Bayfair Properties has a site plan approved by the city to build 150 apartments at 10980 Oak St. NE at the junction of Gandy Boulevard and Fourth Street N. A second Tampa developer, 908 Development Group, aims to build 150 apartments in a complex named Aspire at Gateway on its 7 acres. The Times said the developer plans to close on property in May.
A Houston-based developer, Hines, plans to build 308 luxury apartments on a lot off of Roosevelt Boulevard close to Interstate 275. The developer has already paid $6.3 million for 13 acres and plans to call the development Azure, the Times said.
Developers agreed that with occupancy rates at existing apartment complexes topping 95 percent in the area, demand is high for more apartments.

GATINEAU, Que.–Calgary-based cable giant Shaw Communications Inc. unleashed a shot across the bow of the CRTC by writing to Stephen Harper and asking the prime minister to bring the ``misguided” broadcasting regulator to heel.
In an extraordinary move, Shaw chief executive Jim Shaw accused the regulator of flouting the Harper government’s policies by allowing the current hearings on the future of Canadian television to be hijacked by broadcasters’ demands for new fees.
It is the second time in as many weeks that Shaw has blasted the CRTC for allowing discussion on what is called fee-for-carriage, a request by conventional networks like CTV and Global to charge cable operators 50 cents a month per customer for each channel carried.
Shaw is scheduled to appear before the CRTC next week, but he said he could not wait.
In the latest salvo, released by the regulator this afternoon just after hearing the testimony of CTVglobemedia Inc. and CanWest Global Communications Corp., Shaw suggests that the prime minister and Industry Minister Jim Prentice directly intervene in the hearings.
”In short, Prime Minister, your policies are being derailed,” Shaw writes. ”We hope that your government will restore your policy direction, refocus your departments and agencies to pursue this policy and regain the confidence of the industry in the wisdom of your decisions.”
Shaw says the CRTC is flouting the government’s clear direction against more regulation and toward “greater choice and to efficient markets.”
In testimony before the commission today, CTV and CanWest Global chief executives Ivan Fecan and Leonard Asper argued that charging fee for carriage rights would reverse a 37-year “wrong” that they said unfairly advantages the cable and satellite industry.
Shaw noted the regulator had decided the matter last year and should not have re-opened the issue in the current review of broadcasting policy that was designed to open the system to market forces.
“It is not the job of the CRTC to guarantee profitability for the broadcast industry or develop taxes and subsidies that determine winners and losers in the marketplace,” the letter states.
Earlier, Canada’s two largest private broadcasters joined forces to warn that cable and satellite companies will destroy the country’s broadcasting system if the federal regulator doesn’t stop them.
CTVglobemedia Inc. and CanWest Global Communications Corp. (TSX:CGS), rivals for television supremacy in Canada through the CTV and Global networks, told the CRTC they were making a joint argument because so much is at stake during the three-week hearings on the future of Canadian television.
CTV chief executive Fecan said cable and satellite companies will control Canadian television if they succeed in a bid to eliminate genre protection for specialty services and regulations that force them to carry conventional stations.
“They will compete with us for video-on-demand program rights, for VOD advertising revenues and sell local commercials on U.S. specialty channels,” he said.
“The system will be about (cable and satellite) and what they want, not the consumer.”
Meanwhile, he said, the cornerstone of the system that pays for most Canadian content and local news is being squeezed by fragmenting advertising dollars and regulations that rob them of compensation for their signals on cable and satellite.
Fecan said conventional broadcasters contribute the most in terms of Canadian shows and local news.
“With single-digit rates of return — the lowest in four decades — massive technological shifts occurring, the extremely expensive conversion to high-definition and significant and often uneconomic programming obligations, something will have to give,” he added.
CanWest president Leonard Asper told the Canadian Radio-television Telecommunications Commission that cable and satellite providers are speaking out of both sides of their mouth.
“They speak of competition, but are not interested in competition from foreign (competitors),” he said. They demand deregulation, but have profited from regulations that allow them to ``expropriate” the signals of local stations without charge.
Both Fecan and Asper said their key priority for the future is gaining the right to charge cable and satellite companies such as Rogers Communications Inc. (TSX:RCI.B), Shaw Communications Inc. (TSX:SJR.B), and Bell ExpressVu (TSX:BCE) about 50 cents for each conventional station they carry.
Currently, cable and satellite does not pay to carry conventional stations, while specialty stations such as TSN, Newsworld or The Discovery Channel do receive a fee.
With advertising revenues shrinking, both Fecan and Asper said their profitability has been compromised. And they denied the charge to consumers would reach as high as $8 or $9, as the cable operators claim, saying on average the fee per subscriber would be about $2.40.
CRTC chairman Konrad von Finckenstein suggested if the commission allowed fee-for-carriage on conventional broadcasters, he might insist that the channels spend more on Canadian programs and local news.
That did not sit well with the broadcasters, although they said they were willing to discuss a trade-off.
“We have been wronged for a long time and we’d like to have that wrong righted and we shouldn’t have to do something extra to right that wrong,” said Asper.
The broadcasters also asked the commission to end carriage of distant signals and time-shifting, which they said robs them of about $93 million in advertising revenue.
One official gave the example of a broadcast of the popular U.S. show Desperate Housewives on Sunday night, which was not only available on the local Ottawa station but from signals as far away as Halifax and Boston at the same time, and again from other stations in different time zones.
The spillage of viewers is one reason advertisers spend about $99 per person on television ads, as opposed to $228 in the U.S., he said.
Although simultaneous substitution, whereby broadcasters substitute their signal with domestic advertising, partly compensates broadcasts, Fecan said the revenue spillage remains considerable. He pointed out that “distant signals” have been ruled unlawful in the “free market United States of America.”
“Simultaneous substitution is a work-around to protect the exclusive rights we have purchased, it’s not a gift,” said Fecan. ``If simultaneous substitution is eroded further, we will take steps to ensure those programs are not available in this country.”
Rogers Communications Inc. vice-chairman Phil Lind, who sat in on the testimony, said the broadcasters had not proven their dire-need case, saying broadcasters are profitable under the current conditions.

Michigan, like other states, allows people to transfer title in property by deed. One common deed is the quitclaim deed. If you intend to file a quitclaim deed in Michigan, you must file the completed quitclaim document in the Registry of Deeds office located in the county where the property is located. Each county in Michigan has a Registry of Deeds. These offices are typically open Monday through Friday (except holidays) from 8:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. (however, hours may vary by county).
Use the quitclaim deed form available from the Registry of Deeds located in the county where the property is located or type your own deed. If you type the deed, title the document “Quit Claim Deed, State of Michigan, County of [County Where Property is Situated].”
Write the name of the person giving away title in the space next to "Grantor(s)." Include the grantor's address. Write the name of the person receiving title in the space next to "Grantee." Include the grantee's title. If typing your own deed, write "[Grantor's name and address] conveys and quitclaims to [Grantee's name and address] real estate situated in [Township and County of Michigan]."
Describe the property using the property's address, the tax item number if available, and any other identifying information such as the boundary lines listed on the original deed.
Bring the quitclaim deed to a Michigan notary public. Sign the document in the presence of the notary. Both the grantor and grantee should sign. Have the document notarized.
Bring the notarized quitclaim deed to the Registry of Deeds located in the Michigan county where the property is situated. Tell the clerk you want to file your quitclaim deed. Pay the filing fee to file the deed. The filing fee may vary by county. For example, in Genessee County the fee is $14, whereas in Oakland County the fee is $10.

June 12, 2017
Obsession introduced four new models for 2017, including the Hemorrhage DE. It is built on a compact riser sporting flared ends to accept the one-piece, pivoting limb pockets while serving as home base for the Torque-Less grip, adjustable string stop, Flex Arm cable guard and stabilizer mounting insert.
Split Gordon Glass limbs, DE two-track cams and vibration-dampening accessories round out the package.
Each Hemorrhage riser starts as a 6061-aluminum extrusion and is CNC machined into final reflex form. The end of the riser flares out to create a platform for the wide-stance, one-piece, pivoting limb pockets.
Obsession's patented Flex Arm cable-containment system is mounted to the outside of the sight window above the shelf. The mounting arm is much like a bow limb in shape and function, made with Gordon Glass material. As the bow is drawn, the arm flexes inward toward the centerline of the bow, which reduces system torque. When the string is released, the cables spring back to their original position, allowing vanes to pass untouched.
Mounted opposite the stainless steel stabilizer insert, the adjustable string suppressor is made of a curved aluminum mounting bracket, stopper rod and rubber stopper. When the string is released, it strikes the rubber stopper, which quickly stops string oscillation and reduces noise.
Obsession's Torque-Less grip — designed for a neutral wrist position — consists of two machined wood side plates placed on a section of the handle that is contoured for both comfort and function.
Loaded and Aligned
The one-piece limb pockets "pivot" as they move with the limbs during the draw-weight adjustment process. Limbs are locked into the pockets, and the pockets are anchored to the riser creating precision alignment at this critical interface. Each pocket exerts control on all sides of the limb along its length with end brackets, inside spacers, outside brackets and rockers.
Hemorrhage limbs measure 12€‰¼ inches long and are split in configuration, eliminating common solid-limb stress points and allowing for a wider footprint without added weight. Limbs reach a beyond-parallel position at full draw and respond in equal and opposite directions at the shot, cancelling out much of the
leftover noise and vibration.
A two-track, symmetrical, dual-cam system powers the Hemorrhage, which is advertised to reach IBO speeds up to 340 fps. One track is used for the string, while the other is used for both cables — one cable is being let out while the other is being taken in, all on the same plane, during the draw cycle. This forces the load from the cables closer to the center.
The more centered the load, the less likely cam lean/limb twist will become a factor. The end result is increased efficiency. The cams are mechanically locked to one another through the direct cam-to-cam cable anchoring. This reduces the possibility of an out-of-sync system due to string stretch and mechanical seating.
The machined aluminum DE cams ride on case-hardened axles and sealed bearings. Draw-length changes are modular; however, a bow press and T15 Torx wrench are required to remove and replace the modules. Modules are available for draw lengths from 25-31 inches, in half-inch increments. An adjustable draw stop on each cam allows the shooter to customize the feel of the back wall.
At the Range
The Hemorrhage was a good all-around performer and impressively quiet. The draw was a bit stiff, but the dropoff and back wall were pleasant. The shot produced little shock, and a stabilizer killed what little vibration was felt. The grip is well formed and can be cradled comfortably and consistently.

Last week as I set up to make our celebration meal, aka Fajitas, I had to think “I need to buy tortillas”. By this point, I already figured out that New Zealand is not on any podium when it comes to baked goods (well not the ones I am found of anyways). Therefore, my next thought was “Let’s make some homemade”!
What a good idea, right?
I think I am becoming an adept of everything homemade. Even if it takes a few more minutes than buying the product in store, it is so rewarding and worth it taste wise.
So here I go again, on a search for the best recipe and I found this Best Ever Homemade Flour Tortillas on the Café Sucre Farine blog. I went for flour instead of corn ones, simply because masa harina, ground corn and lime, i not easily found here like most “ethnic products”.
What’s magic about this recipe is: it basically takes no time to do. You bring all the ingredient into a dough and knead for about a minute until you have a smooth texture. After 15 minutes of rest, heat up your pan, divide the dough and roll out those tortillas. Plop each tortillas in the heated pan, one minute on each side and le tour est joué (basically Game set in french)!
Now, you’ve got yourself some more than decent flour tortillas, that will have you trade a trip to the grocery for homemade goodness. And that’s what I am talking about! If it wasn’t to get “better than store bought” product I would probably not bother. But when you get delicious and fresh tortillas in this little time, why not?
So next time you are having a meal like these fajitas, why not give homemade tortillas a go? And reserve the leftover tortillas for a sweet treat like these Apple Chimichangas!
Let me know what you think about these!
Perfect Homemade Tortillas
Soft, smooth and fresh tortillas to go with any of your mexican ,or not, meal. Ready in no time!
In a medium bowl, mix together all the dry ingredients. Add the oil and gradually add the water while mixing with a fork. When it starts to form a ball, transfer your dough to a floured surface and knead for about a minute or until it it smooth.
Divide the dough into 16 portions, coat each with flour and form into balls. Flatten each with the palm of your hand and cover with a tea towel. Leave to rest for 15 minutes.
After the rest time, start by heating your pan over medium-high heat. With a floured rolling pin, roll each flatten ball into a 6-7 inches diameter circle with a thickness of 1/4-inch on a lightly floured surface. Avoid stacking tortillas as they will stick to each other.
Once your pan is very hot, take one circle to the pan and cook for a minute or until brown spot are noticeable and the uncooked side shows bubbles. (See notes for cooking advice) Flip to the next side and cook for about 30 seconds.
Once cooked, remove from pan with tongs and stack into a covered container or a zippered bag to keep them soft and pliable.
Serve the tortillas warm or let cool for later. When you are ready to use them, heat one tortillas at a time in the microwave for 15 seconds and serve immediately.
If you don't have a microwave, turn the oven on to 210F/ 100C and place a small bowl of water at the bottom of the oven. Once temperature is reached, place the tortillas in a dutch oven with the lid on (alternatively wrapped in foil paper) and place in the middle of the oven.. Take one tortilla at a time as needed.
If the tortillas take too long to show brown spots, increase the heat of your pan otherwise you risk having dry tortillas. On the other hand, if they are browning too fast, reduce the heat.
I flour accumulate in your pan, wipe out the excess in between tortillas to prevent flour to burn and stick to the next tortillas.
Store in airtight container or zipped bag in refrigerator for up to a week. You can also freeze them, in which case you need to separate them with parchment paper in a Ziploc bag.

NASA 5020A Requirements for Threaded Fastening Systems in Spaceflight Hardware
Over the last decade, we have done numerous structural and thermal simulations of satellites for commercial and ITAR-type clients. Looking back, I’m sort of surprised how close we got with what we thought were FEA best practices for linear dynamics (that is to say, results based on a normal modes analysis from seismic to shock to PSD).
A big advance over the last couple of years has been our approach to fastener modeling. In prior work, fasteners were idealized using beams and rigid links, while nowadays, our preference is to use 6-DOF springs in combination with rigid links. While a bit messy, it provides an efficient methodology to meet the NASA 5020A Technical Specification. The gist of the NASA 5020A specification is to keep joints tightly joined under worst-case conditions with no or limited slip. This is done by combining the effects of fastener preload against that of the applied load or loads with conservative assumptions and factors of safety.
The specification is an algebraic joy to the mathematically inclined simulation engineer. In our project work, we were surprised to learn, that without shear pins, it is quite difficult to get a stand-along fastener to pass the NASA 5020A specification. Furthermore, although best practices often calls out maximum bolt preload, it can also lead to failing the 5020A specification. To provide some background, we’ll show a simple calculation that we did for a recent space-based optical platform.
Our takeaways from this work is that every fastener loves a shear pin and that high bolt preload is not necessarily your friend.
The NASA 5020A specification is written by engineers for engineers. It just takes a methodical read from start to finish. The short version is that it penalizes any threaded fastener that is required to carry axial and shear loads. Hence the trick is to use shear pins and keep the bolt preload low. An example calculation is shown in the following slides.
The NASA 5020A Requirements for Threaded Fastening Systems in Spaceflight Hardware provides calculation procedure and large factors of safety that assures that joints stay locked together during flight conditions. Given its conservativeness it creates design challenges for unsuspecting design and simulation engineers. Our takeaway from this FEA consulting project was that shear pins are usually a necessity since the specification aims to ensure no-slip joint conditions and given its conservativeness, this condition is difficult to achieve without the use of shear pins.
NASA 5020A bolt preload calculation is based on a minimum and maximum approach where the base preload (force) is then modified by an estimated preload variation (G) and then installation parameter (c). An example graph is provided showing the how the bolt preload min and max’s stack up for fastener sizes from 4-40 to ¼-20. The range between min and max provides a quick insight into why meeting the specification can be difficult.
Calculation of the NASA 5020A bolt factor hf is one of the pure formulaic joys of the spec. The bolt factor determines how easily one can meet the margin of safety (MSu) requirements in Eq. 6 of Eq. 7. For example, one wants a high value of P’tu which is more easily obtained with a higher bolt factor. However, at the end of the day, one usual defaults to hf = 0.25 and moves on. One will also note that a low bolt preload (Pp-max) in relation to the bolt’s strength (Ptu-allow) favors a higher margin of safety (MSu).
The specification provides a robust procedure from fasteners to shear pins. For pull-out and bearing loads, it can be a bit murky but guidance is provided if one keeps digging. Our recommendation is to do a first pass based on MS and then start looking at shear pin requirements.
A simplified analysis is provided for the bearing resistance of the potted shear pin per Bruhn, Section D1.10 – Methods of Failure of Single Bolt Fitting and the Allowable Failing Loads. To determine the Bearing Material Failure limit, a nonlinear analysis was performed with the shear pin embedded into the potting material and surrounded by the base. To keep it simple, the analysis work looked at the worst possible shear pin scenario (shear load vs shear pin diameter), results indicated that it would pass.
The NASA 5020A Requirements for Threaded Fastening Systems in Spaceflight Hardware specification journey was a fascinating experience. At the end of the project, we had written several application programming interface (API) scripts that would automatically dump FEA static and PSD fastener forces directly into a spreadsheet. With this link, we could then update the spreadsheet and quickly review the Margin of Safety numbers. Given the number of revisions that was required to optimize the fasteners and shear pins, this effort paid off for our client in schedule and budget. As consulting engineers, this project was a pleasure since we learned something new while helping our client deliver an advance micro-sat that passed CDR with nary a comment about fasteners.


text: My neighborhood. http://www.bensonhurstbean.com/2015...ateries-that-have-withstood-the-test-of-time/ By Jerry Del Priore There’s something to be said for food establishments that have withstood the test of time. With places seemingly opening one day, and closing the next, Bensonhurst has a large number of fantastic Italian food establishments that have been around for years, surviving and thriving through the of toughest of times. So get ready to tantalize your taste buds with a delectable cannoli or a savory slice – perhaps even a little pasta or an Italian Hero. Mangia. 1. Villabate Alba 7001 18th Avenue Since 1979, the Alaimo family has been bringing the finest authentic Sicilian pastries, cookies, cakes, and breads to the good people of Bensonhurst and beyond. In fact, Villabate Alba has arguably the best cannoli – stuffed with sheep’s milk imported from Sicily to make the ricotta cream filling – in the city. “Two to three hundred are sold daily from Monday to Thursday, and four to six hundred from Friday to Sunday,” said Anthony Alaimo, who, along with other family members, has taken over full-time operational responsibilities from his dad, Emanuele. Previously located on 72nd Street and 18th Avenue, Villabate Alba moved to its present digs at 7001 18th Avenue – the former site of Alba Bakery, a neighborhood institution since 1935 – in 2007 to serve a larger cliental. The Alaimos decided to keep the Alba name on the sign out of respect for the previous owner, Alaimo noted, and combined it with Villabate, the name of their hometown in Sicily, Italy. 2. John’s Deli 2033 Stillwell Avenue For true Brooklynites, John’s Deli, in operation for over 45 years, is the place to go for a mouthwatering Italian hero. John’s Deli, with the elevated D train hovering above in the background, is like a trip back in time. First, if you leave a tip, don’t be surprised when the workers yell, “Thank You, Subway.” It’s to commemorate when, in the 20s and 30s, the subway fare was a nickel, and people would generously tip local retail workers so they get home. It was later revived at John’s in the 60s and 70s by a costumer, who informed then-owner John of the custom. Secondly, it’s not for appearance, but the food is legendary. Its signature roast beef – smothered with mozzarella, sautéed onions and John’s Deli’s secret, special gravy – has been referred to by its loyal customers as the best they’ve ever tasted, bar none. I also love the Godfather, which boasts five different hardy meats with a variety of cheeses. This sandwich is so unbelievably appetizing that you won’t be able to refuse it (pun intended). The fried chicken cutlet with broccoli rabe and mozzarella and the chicken parm heroes are other lip-smacking options, as are the meatballs, fried ravioli and rice balls – stuffed with ham and cheese. Fuggettaboutit!

Many of you may have heard the show, ““Bacteria in your gut affects your mental health.” which aired on the CBC on October 11, 2013. If you missed it, here is the link: CBC.
Listening to this show reinforced for me the importance of ensuring gastrointestinal health for myself, my family and for everyone I work with. We already know that healthy gut flora promotes health by strengthening immunity, improving our digestion and absorption of nutrients, and by promoting healthy metabolism and preventing obesity.
Too much of the wrong bacteria can make us ill and too little of the healthy bacteria can leave us vulnerable to illness. Symptoms of dysbiosis or an imbalance of good bacteria intestinally include: digestive upset, bowel irregularity, fatigue, allergies, skin conditions, headaches, autoimmune conditions, anxiety and depression.
Recently, there has been significant research emerging on the connection between gut flora and mental health. A recent study in the journal Gastroenterology shows that healthy gut bacteria play a major role in mental health and pain sensitivity. Scientists at UCLA showed a direct link between probiotics consumed and elevated amounts of the important mood regulating neurotransmitters: Serotonin and GABA.
Serotonin is a neurotransmitter primarily found in the gastrointestinal tract and the central nervous system. It regulates intestinal movement, mood, appetite, sleep, muscle contraction and cognitive function such as memory. GABA is the chief inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. It plays a role in regulating neuronal excitability throughout the nervous system. People with low serotonin production typically suffer from depression. And, people with low GABA production typically experience anxiety.
This research is important as it points to the importance of addressing gastrointestinal health in the management and treatment of anxiety and depression. As Gregor Reid, PhD, a professor of microbiology, immunology and surgery at the University of Western Ontario stated, “There isn’t a drug on the market that can match probiotic bacteria for its far-reaching implications on health.
How to Cultivate Healthy Gut Flora
- Our first microbes are introduced in the vaginal canal after the natural birth process, and are delivered through breast milk. We inherit our gut flora from our mother at birth, where it settles in the baby’s sterile system and becomes the microbiome of the gut. Breastfeeding is another way the mother passes her beneficial flora to her baby. Bottle fed babies acquire completely different gut flora than those that are breastfed.
- Healthy digestive microbes come from ingesting uncooked and live culture fruits, vegetables, and dairy products that contain live probiotics. Routinely eating some fermented foods such as yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut, kimchi, miso or kombucha can also assist in replenishing healthy bacteria. It is important to ensure the products are guaranteed to contain live cultures since many brands destroy the essential bacteria with high temperature processing during the manufacturing process. If it’s in the fridge at the store it is more likely to contain live culture, if it’s on the shelf it has been pasteurized. Making your own yogurt, sauerkraut, kombucha or kefir assures an active bacteria content.
- For some people, the level of depletion of beneficial organisms in the digestive tract requires the consumption of a daily probiotic supplement in order to replenish beneficial bacteria. It is important to consider that infants, children and adults require different combinations of specific bacteria. And, it is important to be cautious with dosing in the treatment of skin and autoimmune conditions. A ND will help you determine the right bacterial strains and optimal dosing for your individual health.

I watched two movies based on actual events this weekend, and of them Deepwater Horizon really stands out. It may be the best movie I've seen in months. I rented it on a whim, wanting to earn more about the Deepwater dsiaster, but not expecting that much.
This is a disaster film that feels like a horror movie. The movie is mainly from the point of view of Deepwater Horizon worker Mike Williams (played by Mark Wahlberg). It opens with Williams testifying, but you just see a black screen and introductory credits. Then you get the start of a normal day for Mike and another worker, both at their homes getting ready to head out for another 3 week shift. The opening is full of foreshadowing and dire omens (ignored by everyone, of course).
Although Mark Russel is the lead, Kurt Russel as his boss steals the show. The "villain" is the BP exec played brilliantly by John Malkovich. But the real antagonist is the monster lurking in the deep - the ticking time bomb of millions of barrels of petroleum under high pressure beneath them.
When it finally explodes the action is devastating and frightful. I think it was the combination of sound effects at one point. And I have to admire the stoic heroism of the workers that keep it together during the crisis and go right back into danger to save others.
I think it's a riveting action thriller that deserves more recognition. My only complaint is that, after watching it, I still don't know exactly what went technically wrong to lead to the explosion.
Snowden, on the other hand, was rather tedious. Despite a great performance by Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Edward Snowden, including doing an amazing vocal impression, the movie just takes forever to get going. Too much time is spent on Snowden's relationship with his girlfriend. The movie wants us to believe it was this great love story we should care about, when by his actions Snowden himself seemed to care very little for her.
I think part of the reason the movie fails is the timing - we already know about the NSA / CIA overreach on surveillance and not many seem to care. There are no new shockers revealed by the movie. There is no new insight into Snowden's motives - he is painted here as the altruistic hero. That's part of what really kills the movie for me - there's an overall sense of smug superiority that director Oliver Stone seems to infuse it with. It's a good thing I watched it on dvd so I could at least get some chores done while watching.

Fayetteville Public Utilities’ (FPU) electric customers will see higher December bills as a result of the increases in the Tennessee Valley Authority’s (TVA) winter season energy rate and the total monthly fuel cost.
For the average residential electric bill of 1,330 kilowatts (kWh), the total increase is $2.73
In November, the average residential electric bill for 1,330 kWh was $142.83. In December, the same electric use will cost $145.56. December’s fuel cost amount is approximately 14 percent lower than TVA’s three-year average for the month.
“The December electric rates reflect TVA’s winter season energy rate which was established in 2011. The winter season rate is higher due to an increase in demand of electricity during this time of year for heating, lighting and other wintertime applications” said FPU’s CEO and General Manager Britt Dye.
Winter season rates begin on December 1st and remain in place through March 31. The total monthly fuel cost will continue to change monthly.
FPU encourages customers to download the Smart Hub app to their computer or mobile devices. SmartHub is a free service offered by FPU and gives customers access to historical and daily utility information so that they can make decisions about how they use their utilities wisely during peak times.
To help consumers with their energy costs, FPU offers a budget billing plan which averages monthly electric and natural gas bills. Call FPU at 433-1522 and speak with a customer service representative about the budget billing plan.
