Billionaire Bill Gates is criss-crossing Australia on his private jet lecturing people about the need to stop global warming.
The Microsoft founder flew to Australia on his $70m Gulfstream that reportedly burns 1700 litres of fuel per hour.
He spent time at Lizard Island on the Great Barrier Reef before flying the jet, one of four planes he owns, to Sydney for a meeting with the Prime Minister on Saturday.
The world’s fourth richest man addressed a business function on Monday where he shared his thoughts on the environment. He was due to fly to Melbourne for the Australian Open later in the week.
Gates told attendees at a business function that there was “no chance” of limiting warming to the Paris climate goal of 1.5C and that a 2C target is also “very unlikely”.
“The key is to minimise the warming as much as possible,” he said.
“At this point, to stay below 2.5C would be pretty fantastic. I do think that's possible.”
Gates, whose company Breakthrough Energy claims to drive innovation in sustainable energy, added it was “great to have Australia on board on climate” when the country had been an “outlier until quite recently”.
He said climate change was “not yet having the negative effects of a disease like malaria, which kills 400,00 children a year”.
“The reason why climate change is worth investing in massively is because it will get worse and worse over time,” he warned.
“If you allow the warming to go to an extreme level, then all sorts of natural ecosystems disappear and all sorts of places in the world you can't do outdoor work.
“So the tropical areas, agriculture would be impossible, outdoor work during large parts of the year would be impossible.”
In his 2021 book called How To Avoid Climate Disaster, Gates admitted to having double standards when it came to climate change.
“I am aware that I'm an imperfect messenger on climate change,” he wrote.
“The world is not exactly lacking in rich men with big ideas about what other people should do, or who think technology can fix any problem.
“I own big houses and fly in private planes – in fact, I took one to Paris for the climate conference, so who am I to lecture anyone on the environment?
“I plead guilty to all three charges. I can't deny being a rich guy with an opinion. I do believe, though, that it is an informed opinion, and I am always trying to learn more.”

Considered the best book ever written about Haiti, now updated with a New Introduction, “After the Earthquake,” features first hand-reporting from Haiti weeks after the 2010 earthquake.
Through a series of personal journeys, each interwoven with scenes from Haiti’s extraordinary past, Amy Wilentz brings to life this turbulent and fascinating country. Opening with her arrival just days before the fall of Haiti’s President-for-Life, Jean-Claude “Baby Doc” Duvalier, Wilentz captures a country electric with the expectation of change: markets that bustle by day explode with gunfire at night; outlaws control country roads; farmers struggle to survive in a barren land; and belief in voodoo and the spirits of the ancestors remains as strong as ever.
The Rainy Season demystifies Haiti—a country and a people in cruel and capricious times. From the rebel priest Father Aristide and the street boys under his protection to the military strongmen who pass through the revolving door of power into the gleaming white presidential palace—and the buzzing international press corps members who jet in for a coup and leave the minute it’s over—Wilentz’s Haiti haunts the imagination.
Amy Wilentz is the author of The Rainy Season, Martyrs’ Crossing, and I Feel Earthquakes More Often Than They Happen. She has won the Whiting Writers Award, the PEN/Martha Albrand Non-Fiction Award, and the American Academy of Arts and Letters Rosenthal Award. She writes for The New Yorker and The Nation and teaches in the Literary Journalism program at UC Irvine.

Baton Rouge -- Look for Southern University opponents to think twice before kicking to Jaguars return man Virgil Williams. Williams leads the SWAC in punt return average at 12.4 yards per attempt and has averaged 26.6 yards per kickoff return.
Williams also starts in the Jaguars' secondary.
Southern Coach Dawson Odums hinted Tuesday that Williams may be used for more than just defense and special teams.
“He’s an electrifying individual,’’ Odums said. “Every time we need a big play, he seems to be the guy that’s making it right now. I’m excited to have him on defense. We think he’s a guy who we can (use) his talents even more.’’

To what final amount will an initial investment of $5,000 grow if the interest rate is 4% per year compounded continuously for 21 years? Write your answer rounded to the nearest cent.
im getting a number of 7.994 but it doesnt seem right.
In this problem you have all variables given (P, r and t)
In this example you would use ln:
How long will it take to double your investment if the interest would be 6% compounded continuousely?
A= P * e^rt
P = 1000
A = 2000
r = 0.06
2000 = 1000 * e^0.06*t
2 = e^0.06*t
ln2 = ln e^0.06*t --> ln e^x = x
ln2 = 0.06*t

A weekly examination of the Browns’ ESPN.com Power Ranking:
Preseason: 28 | Last Week: 27 | ESPN.com Power Ranking since 2002
A near-win in New England helped the Cleveland Browns in the eyes of the ESPN Power Rankings voters, as the Browns moved from 27th to 25th.
Which is a step for a team that has lost four in a row and seven of eight.
ESPN.com NFL writer Kevin Seifert had the Browns the highest, at 20th.
If the Browns hope to finish the season out of the 20s for the first time since 2007, they have some work to do. Their final home game is Sunday against the Bears, followed by games on the road against the Jets and Steelers.
They way the Browns played for 58 minutes against New England would indicate they have a chance to avoid their first 10-loss season since ’07. The way they finished against Jacksonville and the Patriots would indicate they don’t.

Objective. Because of the implication of histamine in canine atopic dermatitis, H1-antihistamines may provide a valid alternative to glucocorticoid therapy. In vitro study of these drugs prior to clinical testing can allow the most promising compounds to be selected for trials and render trials with drugs of doubtful efficacy unnecessary. Sample Population. Isolated canine cutaneous mast cells. Procedure. Cells were preincubated with antihistamines at increasing concentrations and incubated with concanavalin A (1,000 μg/ml), calcium ionophore A23187 (1 μM), and substance P (100 μM). Compound 48/80 was not used because it proved to be cytotoxic. Results. Generally, significant prodegranulating effect was not observed for most of the studied agents. Only terfenadine increased spontaneous histamine release at concentrations >30 μM. Cetirizine did not block histamine release at any of the studied concentrations. Ketotifen had a low inhibitory effect only at the highest concentration (100 μM) after concanavalin A- (23.6 ± 2.8%) and calcium ionophore A23187 (29.8 ± 3.0%) induced release. Terfenadine caused a concentration-dependent inhibitory effect after ionophore A23187- (48.1 ± 2.2%) and concanavalin A- (28.9 ± 2.3%) activation, but was inactive against substance P-induced release. In contrast, loratadine had potent dose-dependent inhibition of concanavalin A- and ionophore A23187-induced histamine release, with maximal effect of 85.6 ± 3.1% and 62.6 ± 4.7%, respectively, at 100 μM concentration. After substance P activation, histamine release was only slightly inhibited by loratadine (14.8 ± 1.1%). Conclusions. This study documents the behavior of isolated canine cutaneous mast cells in the presence of nonimmunologic stimulation. Using this in vitro method, we were able to determine that loratadine is the only antihistamine that has potent inhibition of histamine release from dog cutaneous mast cells without a substantial prodegranulating effect. Loratadine is, therefore, a good candidate for clinical testing.

Parmida & Scott
TWO COUNTRIES. TWO WEDDINGS.
ONE incredible love story.
This two part wedding project has been such a creative journey. When P & S first inquired with us, they shared their two wedding plan with us. There would be one wedding in the US with their family, and then a second wedding in Australia with their friends. Below, you'll find links to both videos.
In wedding video #1, it was important that we were able to capture the essence of the day so that their loved ones back in Australia could really experience the day as it happened.
Their wedding day had so many quirky and laugh-out-loud moments and we wanted to feature all the silly banter and good fun with the family and friends they hadn’t seen in years.
Following a beautiful wedding day with family and friends in the USA, Parmida and Scott head back to their home in Australia for a second celebration. The Koonyum Range Retreat served as a beautiful and secluded venue overlooking a distant Byron Bay coastline. This was our second wedding with Parmida and Scott, but it was here that we got to dive so deep into their journey and relationship.
After witnessing a more formal, traditional event with the very people it all began with, it was a totally surreal and special experience to fast forward with them to their current point in life. It isn't very often we get to be part of the aftermath of a wedding day, much less get to film two events for a couple! This was an incredible experience for us in so many ways, and we're just truly so thankful and honored to have been part of it.

"It certainly meets some of our current needs and demands," Baker said.
Ultimately, the upgrades could pave the way for a one-to-one mobile device program, wherein each student uses a mobile device such as an iPad or Chromebook instead of textbooks.

In addition to the wireless upgrades, the district has also established a technology task force to examine technology needs and develop plans for the future.
"We needed to have that task force in place because we have so many different goals coming up that involve technology," Baker said, "and there's so much overlap that we didn't just want to have the technology director and superintendent making those decisions. We wanted some input in making those decisions."
The committee is comprised of 13 district teachers and administrators.
In addition to examining current technology needs, the committee will also examine ways to integrate technology into the curriculum.
"Technically, it was set up in an advisory capacity, but there's certainly going to be some legwork and research," Baker said. "It's really all about looking at what we can do -- setting and meeting those goals."

In this regular Q&A series, we interview authors and major figures in the field about their work, interests, and overall thoughts on sound studies.
Nicolai Jørgensgaard Graakjær is Professor of Music and Sound in Market Communication in the Department of Communication and Psychology at Aalborg University, Denmark. His publications include Analyzing Music in Advertising (2015), Sound and Genre in Film and Television (2010, Co-editor), and Music in Advertising (2009, Co-editor).
What are you working on right now?
Right now, I’m working on a book on sound branding. Sound branding is a relatively recent concept which has been introduced to identity an increased interest and practice among organizations to use sound as an integral part of their branding initiatives. Since the concept was introduced about 20 years ago, numerous books on sound branding have been published. However, so far, the concept and practice has been predominantly approached from a practitioner perspective – that is, published by and for practitioners. Although the books have many merits, from a scholarly perspective they are largely anecdotal and based on cases of ‘best practice’. By comparison, my book will be targeted at researchers and students within sound studies (as well as musicology, communication studies, and media studies) who seek to analyze and critique the structure, distribution, and significance of sound branding. In addition to this work on sound branding, I am planning to do more work on the sounds of spectators at football from the perspective of the participants as well as on ‘the sounds(capes) of sports’ more generally.
What got you interested in the field of sound studies?
Originally, I majored in musicology. During these studies, I was exclusively focused on classical music. For example, my master’s thesis was entitled “Ist er der Strahl von and’rer Schönheit? A close reading of Hugo Wolf’s Michelangelo lieder” (I handed it in in 1997, which marked the music’s 100th year anniversary). Subsequently, I minored in psychology, and during these studies I became increasingly aware of and interested in the significant amount of music, that we are exposed to (and expose ourselves to) during everyday life in settings not based on or defined by music – for example, music in commercials, in stores, and at sports events. This awareness also opened my eyes and ears to the significance of sounds more generally.
What do you write about?
Generally, I write about the structure, distribution and significance of sound and music in settings where sound and music are seemingly secondary. For example, I am often motivated by a discrepancy between, on the one hand, a belief that particular examples of sounds and music are somehow important, and, on the other hand, a relative scarcity of scholarly explorations of that importance.
What interesting developments/research/innovations are happening in sound studies right now?
In addition to numerous interesting scholarly initiatives (I’ll refrain from exemplifying as I do not want to privilege any of them), there are interesting developments when it comes to the possible ‘objects of study’. For example, the sounds of cars are radically changing in these years, and I find that example interesting and inspiring – incidentally, the car represents an intriguing case for the study of sound branding.
Who in this field inspires you?
Originally, I was particularly inspired by the works of for example Philip Tagg (e.g., Kojak – 50 seconds of TV music from 1979), Richard Middleton (e.g., Studying popular music from 1990), Nicholas Cook (e.g., Analyzing musical multimedia from 1998) and Theo van Leeuwen (e.g., Speech, music, sound from 1999). Also, as implied above, I am inspired by the many practitioners (most of whom remain anonymous) who produce and develop the sounds of material objects, physical settings, and mediated texts.
What is a misconception about sound or sound studies that bothers you?
Whenever I face what I believe to be a misconception regarding an issue within sound studies (which is not very often), I am inclined to be inspired rather than bothered. A particular and slightly bothersome incident comes to my mind, though. It occurred years ago as I was attending a sound studies conference. At one point during the conference, the organizers had generously planned a sound walk in the very beautiful surroundings of the conference setting. As we (about 30 scholars) gathered and prepared for shutting our mouths and opening our ears, I was hoping to be able to finish a conversation with a colleague. However, unfortunately I failed, and me and my colleague were disciplined (deservedly, I suppose) by a loud, irritable ‘shh’ from the sound walk leader. My colleague and I then decided to break up from the gathering, and instead of attending the sound walk, we went to the conference hotel bar to watch a televised football (soccer) match from the ongoing FIFA World Cup – it turned out to be an interesting case for further conversations on the significance of various examples of soundscapes.
What are some of your favorite (or least favorite) sounds?
I appreciate the sounds of champagne (a few years ago I did a paper on the sounds’ significance). Also, I find the sounds of finger tapping apples pleasing – especially, I appreciate the sounds of Filippa apples at various stages of maturity. Additionally, pleasant sounds to my ear include the tone of Angus Young’s guitar, and the ways in which car stereo music will occasionally and unpredictably ‘interact’ (rhythmically, melodically, and harmonically) with the sounds of the car while driving.

This project, set up by order of the Ministry of Health and Consumer Protection, focused on three consumer-related aspects of the "information society": the future of the universal service, aspects of data security, and the question of self-determination in the IT environment (privacy).
International discussion of the development of a universal service concept focuses at present on the restructuring of tariffs as a consequence of liberalisation and the danger of eroding traditional financing mechanisms through cross-subsidies - in other words costs and financing. At the same time a wider approach to the concept is also being considered. This is based on an analysis of the weaknesses of the present universal telephone service (analysis of group-specific penetration rates, disconnections, etc.), but also includes new service components (forwarding of calls, etc.). While the inclusion of new services or technologies is currently not being considered - because of the lack of demand and the costs involved - universal services with their tradition of individual access are being extended through the setting up of public access points to new services. In Europe at least, however, this discussion does not go far enough, as apart from the introduction of new services, the question of extending the principles on which the universal service is based (full coverage, non-discrimination, reasonable pricing) should also be addressed so as to safeguard the right to free choice, data security and protection of privacy.
As far as data security is concerned, effective cryptographic processes ensure reliable data transmission, authenticity of communication sources, and protection against abuse. In spite of the justified government interest in controlling data communication for the purpose of crime prevention, the protection of fundamental rights is more important. Therefore cryptographic processes should not be prohibited by law.
The question of privacy involves two aspects: the right to control personal information, and the right to be left in peace. The more the different areas of life (work, education, entertainment, consumption, etc.) are integrated, and the greater the number of suppliers of services, the greater the danger of abuse of the data involved in these transactions. Apart from legal mechanisms outlawing the generation of personal profiles, further measures are required to protect against illicit access and to provide the user with the possibility of verifying the authenticity of communications on request.

BTS’ Jimin Attends Alec Benjamin Concert During Group’s Hiatus
Jimin attended Benjamin's Seoul concert on August 18 at the MUV Hall. Fans quickly spotted him in the balcony enjoying the show.
Jimin posted a photo of the pair after the show on the BTS Twitter account. "Your voice is heavenly," he wrote. "Thanks for coming."
This encounter happened after Benjamin invited Jimin to his concert after Jimin added his song "Water Fountain" to his personal Spotify playlist. Benjamin tweeted a screenshot of Jimin's playlist entitled "Jimin's JOAH? JOAH!" and wrote, "This is so cool. I love you & BTS!"
Benjamin also previously released his own rendition of the group's hit "Fake Love." He also performed a similar rendition during his concert to pay tribute to his new friend.
Big Hit announced that BTS will take their first hiatus for a much-needed vacation. The company asked fans to respect their privacy during their time off, and it seems like fans did so while Jimin attended the show.

June 5, 2014 – The University of Utah is collaborating with five leading U.S. universities on an advanced cyberinfrastructure and computational research project supported by a $5.3 million National Science Foundation grant.
The Advanced CyberInfrastructure – Research and Education Facilitator, or ACI-REF, initiative is the first of its kind in bringing campus research computing activities together in a new level of collaboration that is expected to enable new scientific discovery in a more efficient and cost-effective fashion.
The U hosted the ACI-REF user facilitation team’s first face-to-face meeting June 2-3, where members laid the groundwork for the two-year pilot program, which is an effort to strengthen each school’s computing capabilities through sharing of computational resources and distributing unique areas of expertise across the institutions.
“This award and the partnership with the other institutions is a central component of our effort to realign the U’s Center for High Performance Computing research support mission,” said Steve Corbató, deputy chief information officer and interim CHPC director. “Through this project, our researchers will be able to move beyond our campus to take advantage of national cyberinfrastructure.”
Of the many campus research efforts benefiting from this collaboration is the network research program in the School of Computing led by professors Kobus Van der Merwe and Rob Ricci. This groundbreaking team is experimenting with new approaches to a technology with significant potential to transform the technical basis of the Internet — Software Defined Networking. The ACI-REF project will support this group’s collaboration with researchers at Clemson and Wisconsin among others.
“This NSF award provides a personal touch on campuses, shared expertise among campuses, and ideally, a way to lower barriers to move beyond the campuses to the national infrastructure,” said Tom Cheatham, associate professor of medicinal chemistry and chair of both the Campus Information Technology Governance Research Portfolio and the XSEDE User Advisory Committee. XSEDE, or Extreme Science and Engineering Discovery Environment, is the most powerful and robust collection of integrated advanced digital resources and services in the world.
Corbató will oversee the U’s role in the project with support from CHPC staffers Dr. Anita Orendt, Brian Haymore and Julia Harrison. CHPC provides university researchers with large-scale computer systems, networking and expertise to optimize the use of these high-end technologies. The support that CHPC provides has resulted in nearly 1,000 technical publications.
The other universities involved in the project include project lead Clemson University, Harvard University, the University of Hawai’i, the University of Southern California and the University of Wisconsin.

Top Derms Debunk 6 Common Acne Myths
Myth #1: All acne is created equal.
There are several types of zits that fall under the general acne vulgaris umbrella. According to the Mayo Clinic, this includes blackheads (open plugged pores), whiteheads (closed plugged pores), papules (small, tender red bumps), pustules (papules with pus at their tips), nodules (sold, painful lumps under the skin), and cystic lesions (pus-filled lumps under the skin). And unfortunately, you aren’t immune to any of the aforementioned afflictions even if you’re well past puberty. “You can get every kind of acne both as an adolescent and as an adult,” says Dr. Orit Markowitz, a New York City dermatologist.
The good news? A board-certified derm can identify the type of acne on deck and draw up an individualized plan of attack. This may include a prescription retinoid, azelaic acid, benzoyl peroxide, oral or topical antibiotics, oral isotretinoin (formerly known by many as Accutane), or in-office laser treatments. “In older patients, we can also take advantage of hormonal treatments that address the underlying issue,” adds Dr. Joshua Zeichner, a dermatologist based in New York City. “Prescription medications include oral contraceptive pills and spironolactone.”
Myth #2: Dirty skin causes acne.
Good hygiene is always advised, but it’s not the only element to consider if you’re consistently battling breakouts. “Acne is caused by four main factors, which include plugging of the hair follicle by skin cells, c. acnes bacteria accumulation, oil production, and resulting inflammation,” explains Dr. Muneeb Shah, a dermatologist in Wilmington, North Carolina known for his TikTok and Instagram videos that present science-backed facts in a sea of misinformation. “It’s influenced by hormones, age, genetics, diet, skincare habits, and many other things.” Of course protective face coverings (which create a warm, humid environment ideal for breeding bacteria), sun exposure, and rising cortisol levels also play a role in how your skin behaves. “Stress pretty much flares up any genetic predisposition that we have,” says Dr. Markowitz.
To keep skin calm, unwind with Lesse’s Bioactive Face Masque, which contains detoxifying charcoal powder and kaolin clay, as well as anti-inflammatory tea tree oil and soothing aloe vera. Dr. Markowitz recommends pairing a mask that pulls out dirt and oil with a retinol or retinoid to prevent blockages from reforming. Try Dr. Loretta’s Concentrated Firming Serum, which uses retinol to slough away dead skin cells.
Myth #3: CBD and chlorophyll clear up acne.
The verdict is still out on both CBD and chlorophyll when it comes to alleviating acne. While countless TikTok stars stand by the benefits of downing liquid chlorophyll like Kool-Aid, Dr. Shah says “there’s really no evidence” that drinking the verdant substance is beneficial to battling breakouts. While he admits that the risk associated with this viral trend is low, he says you can get chlorophyll straight from source by eating leafy vegetables (like spinach, collard greens, and broccoli) instead of splashing out on pricey supplements.
CBD also appears to be a cure-all for anything and everything, but Dr. Markowitz isn’t entirely convinced—at least not yet. “I think there may be anti-inflammatory benefits to CBD, but it’s not FDA-regulated,” she says. Once firm guidelines are is in place, dermatologists may gain more confidence in the ingredient.
Other social media remedies you can skip: baking soda, toothpaste, and raw potatoes. Dr. Shah says that baking soda “has a high pH that disrupts the skin barrier” and toothpaste is full of irritating ingredients that do more harm than good. “Historically, toothpaste contained an antibacterial agent, triclosan, that had some benefits in treating acne, but [today’s formulas] no longer contain this ingredient,” he adds. Save spuds, which are said to contain starches and salicylic acid that dry out blemishes, for dinner—and keep them off your face.
A few over-the-counter ingredients most derms can get behind: retinol (or a retinoid like Differin Gel, which doesn’t require a prescription), benzoyl peroxide, sulfur, and salicylic acid (found in Ode to Self’s Bask Cleansing Balm).
Myth #4: Oil-based products cause breakouts.
“You can certainly use oil-based skincare, including moisturizers and cleansers, if you have acne-prone skin,” says Dr. Zeichner. “You just need to look for the right oil.” Steer clear of olive and coconut oils, which can block pores. Instead, look for non-comedogenic formulas containing rosehip seed, jojoba, squalane, grapeseed, or safflower oils. Try Noto Deep Serum, which hydrates skin using both grapeseed and rosehip seed oils.
Myth #5: Physical sunscreen clogs pores.
“Most acne patients avoid mineral blockers because they tend to be thicker in consistency,” says Dr. Markowitz. “It’s a common misconception because mineral formulas sit on the surface, while chemical sunscreens get absorbed into the skin and can actually clog pores.” Look for a mineral SPF containing zinc oxide, like EltaMD (one of Dr. Markowitz’s favorites) or Dr. Loretta Urban Antioxidant Sunscreen.
Myth #6: More is better.
When it comes to potent, acne-fighting ingredients, a little goes a long way. “The biggest mistake people make is overdoing it,” says Dr. Zeichner. “Using more products or applying too much of an individual product can lead to skin irritation and make matters worse.” Doubling down on active ingredients available over the counter (such as salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, retinol, etc.) when you’re already managing acne with a prescription treatment can also leave you high and dry. Soothe parched skin with simple, non-comedogenic moisturizers that contain a nice balance of humectants (such as glycerin) and sealants (like shea butter), says Dr. Markowitz. Try Natureofthings Balancing Facial Essence to flood skin with weightless moisture and Saya Balance Moisture to lock in hydration. The real secret to curing acne is consistency. “It can take two to three months to see improvement,” says Dr. Shah. “Patience is key.”

June 20th 2017 was the World Refugee Day – an occasion that celebrates the courage, strength and perseverance of millions of refugees. At Xpress Money, we’re taking a minute to reflect on the importance of this day, and why refugees deserve our compassion and solidarity.
Refugees aren’t just economic migrants
There are many migrants that move for economic opportunities. But thousands of families flee their homes for far more serious reasons every single day. From war and violence to famine and drought, there are many causes that render people homeless – or render it impossible to continue with their lives where they are.
For many, becoming a refugee isn’t a matter of choice. Rather, it’s a story of hardship, heartbreak and being uprooted from land, friends and loved ones.
UN Secretary-General António Guterres makes a compelling case for why we should understand the plight of refugees, and do what we can to ameliorate their suffering.
“This not about sharing a burden. It is about sharing a global responsibility, based not only the broad idea of our common humanity but also on the very specific obligations of international law. The root problems are war and hatred, not people who flee; refugees are among the first victims of terrorism.”1
Why are refugees in the spotlight now?
Just to set the record straight, there is nothing new about migrants, or refugees. There are approximately 250 million individuals2 living outside their countries of origin. But it certainly is a concern pushed into the spotlight because Europe and the West have been directly impacted in recent times.
Prior to 2015, only 14% of displaced people lived in developed countries.3 Most refugees fleeing strife would settle in the nearest safe locale, not far from where they were displaced. Palestinian refugees, for instance, largely sought shelter in Lebanon and Jordan. Afghans fleeing war made their way across a porous border to Pakistan.
But the Syrian refugee crisis brought home the plight of global refugees in very stark manner. It was the biggest movement of people to the continent since World War II.4 It prompted debate and analysis not just because of the numbers, or the violent nature of the conflict, but because refugees showing up in the developed world en masse meant their stories were better covered in the media.
How can I show support?
There were initiatives held around the world on the day. The UNHCR launched its #WithRefugees hashtag so people could declare solidarity and co-ordinate events.5 The UK hosted events like the RefuTEA party and the Cook For Syria popup restaurant. In the US, benefit concerts are raising funds for charities helping refugees.
But your contribution doesn’t have to be restricted to just that day. The important thing is to realise that the story of refugee suffering continues all year, round the clock. Acknowledging that is the first step. There are numerous charities helping refugees on the ground – with basic necessities like blankets, water and food, and they all have donation pages. Still other organisations regularly conduct drives for used clothing and other essentials of life. The important thing is to care, and keep your eyes open for ways you can make a difference.

Shortly after settling on Cape Cod in 2014, Mike Sherman, the former Green Bay Packers head coach and general manager, captured national headlines for accepting the head coaching gig at Nauset Regional High School for the 2015 season.
Now Sherman is taking his experience in a more entrepreneurial direction: He’s going to build a nine-acre complex for youth and teen sports in partnership with Warren Nighan, a Cape Cod businessman who previously worked in the medical device industry.
Sherman said Cape Cod is well-suited for this kind of project. In some sports, young athletes from the Cape must travel over the bridge and along the South Shore to build their skills, he said.
“We’ve been here two winters now,” he said. “There wasn’t a whole lot to do on Cape Cod. … A lot of stuff is going on in the summer months, but once they leave, it starts shutting down a lot. What’s there for kids to do to keep kids moving—keep them out of the potholes that are presented to them—during the low-energy months?”
Additionally, he said, demand for elite summer camps, along with regional or even national tournaments for travel teams, represents an opportunity for a Cape Cod youth sports facility, because it allows parents to tie a vacation into the journey.
The $12 million Total Athletics Cape Cod facility in Hyannis will include an ice arena, an outdoor field that can be used for multiple sports, an indoor fieldhouse, a rock-climbing wall, a pro shop, workout facilities, a cafeteria-style food court, and more. A supportive philanthropy group gave Sherman and Nighan an affordable lease to build on its land, which is located on industrial-zoned land near Route 6.
Depending on how things go, the facility could expand to as many as 30 acres. Even then, it would be relatively small compared with other projects that have popped up across the region and country.
In the Northeast, the highest-profile example is Spooky Nook in Manheim, Pa., where the 50-acre complex features a 700,000-square-foot indoor sports facility, outdoor fields, a hotel, food court, smoothie bar, and restaurant. Among the events on its calendar this summer are a showcase for high school basketball players from across the mid-Atlantic looking to attract college recruiters at a cost of $125 per player, and invitational youth baseball tournaments charging nearly $600 per team.
That’s not unlike the goal in Massachusetts, where three separate projects—including Sherman’s in Hyannis, a $50 million facility that recently broke ground in Attleboro, and a $110 million-plus behemoth on life support in Sandwich—hope to capitalize on the real estate trend and the industrialization of youth sports. Though varied in size and scope, the projects have a couple of things in common: They’re bolstered by an influx of money pouring into the youth sports industry, a sector now estimated to generate $7 billion per year, and their costs would be controlled by favorable real estate deals.
“There’s a number of factors that play into this whole commercialization point of youth sports,” said Lisa Delpy Neirotti, a professor of sports management at George Washington University. “Organizers found a business opportunity: They started rec leagues, but people wanted it to become more competitive. So they formed the travel leagues. … And when you’re playing sports year-round, the teams become better, and they want to go out of their community to find a challenge.”
In Attleboro, it’s not lost on Joe Fitzpatrick that youth sports have become big enough business to drive the biggest real estate project in town. But Fitzpatrick, a seasoned investor and one of the partners behind the project, doesn’t think the growing size of the youth sports market is the only factor driving the real estate ventures. There’s also a need for new facilities in the region, he said.
“The majority of youth sports facilities are antiquated,” he said. “They’re falling apart due to deferred maintenance.”
The $50 million, 105-acre New England Sports Village broke ground earlier this year after acquiring property under-market that the city had long unsuccessfully tried to turn into an industrial park. The project will feature an ice arena, a swimming pool, indoor and outdoor fields, a pro shop, and dining options. It will also include a 150-room hotel with tournaments in mind. The project’s backers have already signed up a long list of planned local tenants, ranging from elite travel teams to local high schools.
And it could get bigger: Fitzpatrick and his partners have the option to expand the complex to as large as 140 acres.
Fitzpatrick thinks the sports-centric campus could drive other types of higher-value commercial development on the added land, specifically citing healthcare offices as one possibility.
The future is less clear for an even more ambitious proposal in Sandwich that has struggled to get moving. The project, with cost estimates ranging between $113 million and $200 million, was announced in 2014 to significant hype, but it may have been too big for its britches. In addition to sports facilities and a hotel, it would have also included a convention center and a retail component.
But its prospects appear cloudy at best. The project had major names attached to it, including Dan Duquette, the former Red Sox general manager who runs youth baseball programs in Western Massachusetts, and John Hynes, the CEO of Boston Global Investors, which has been a big player in developing Boston’s Seaport District.
The Sandwich developers also struck a deal to acquire undesired town-owned land for cheap, which has not closed, and won’t if the project doesn’t advance. The costs to fix wastewater issues at the site have proven far greater than expected, and questions about how to address them have played a big role in the project’s delay.
Hynes did not respond to calls seeking comment. In an interview last winter, he said the project is “on life support” after an effort to determine its financial feasibility. His level of involvement is unclear at this point.
George Dunham, the Sandwich town manager, said that he sensed the partnership between the developers had fallen through.
Robert Clark, one of the principles behind the development, still thinks the complex has a chance, but it’s running up against a town-imposed June deadline to secure needed permits. He’s asking to extend the deadline as he seeks grants to address the wastewater problems. The project has faced some organized local opposition who argued the land could be better utilized.
The onset of the Hyannis project represents new competition down the road, compounding the challenge the Attleboro project less than an hour away. Both of those projects hope to open late next year, while Sandwich seems like a far-off—if not remote—possibility.
Jason Clement, chief operating officer of industry consultancy Sports Facilities Advisory, said affordable real estate is often key to building a recreational sports complex.
With a good land deal, the big complexes can prove financially successful, said Clement, whose company has been involved with all three projects. But even then, they’re unlikely to be cash cows, and the entrepreneurs behind them usually see the projects at least in part as an opportunity to give back.
“People don’t get into this business to make money,” he said. “They can generate a higher return elsewhere. But it takes some sort of blend of having a reasonable outlook in combination with some kind of qualitative influence.”
That’s the case with Sherman. Having lost a godson to opiate addiction, he believes increased access to athletics is one way to fight an epidemic that’s killing youth on the Cape and across New England.
“With these types of businesses, you don’t make a lot of money,” Sherman said. Still, it’s not a philanthropy: “It’s a business relationship. It has to make some money to survive,” he said.


The number of deaths of people who have tested positive for coronavirus in the Wirral area have shot up - taking the borough to the grim total of 100.
Today's NHS update recorded 22 new deaths at the hospitals run by the Wirral University Teaching Hospitals Trust.
This takes the number of people who have died in hospital after contracting Covid-19 to 100.
Sadly many more will have died away from hospital.
While Wirral was the worst affected in today's update, Liverpool's rising total increased again.
A total of 184 people have died with coronavirus in Liverpool's hospitals now - up by seven.
All seven deaths occurred at the city's main Trust.
Five more deaths have been registered by the St Helens and Knowsley Hospitals Trust, where the total now stands at 65.
53 people have now died after testing positive for coronavirus at hospitals run by the Southport and Ormskirk Trust - up from 46.
And two more deaths at the Warrington and Halton Hospitals Trust takes its sad total to 36.
The deaths form part of an overall rise of more than 800 deaths across the UK.
The country's death total - of those who have passed in hospital - has risen above the 12,000 mark today.
Sadly, the overall death toll will be much higher when factoring in the many people who have died at home - significantly at care homes.
The Office for National Statistics today reported that the actual number could be 15% higher than those being published by government.
The ONS figures include all deaths registered in England and Wales up to the week ending April 3.

Is Eczema contagious
According to the research a common myth about Eczema is that it is contagious when in fact it is not. Even if a person has a rash that is red and sore and someone else touches it, they cannot get eczema through the physical contact. While it cannot spread through an open sore or rash, it can still be very painful and leaves the skin vulnerable to infections from outside contamination.
The outer layer of skin normally acts as a protective layer and when it is compromised bacteria, germs, and viruses may seep into the body through the open skin.Treating eczema is very simple and while there is some embarrassment involved it is not as bad as many other conditions. Simply carry a small tube of hydrocortisone wherever you go to avoid having any painful emergencies. The biggest mistake is leaving home without it, washing your hands at a restaurant, sitting back down and realizing that your eczema rash is now very dry and beginning to get very painful. You can avoid these type of situations by purchasing an over the counter corticosteroid of varying strengths or speaking with your doctor.
Schedule an appointment
If you think you have eczema don’t put off scheduling an appointment. Simply broach the subject with your doctor show them the rash and they will quickly be able to tell you if it is eczema or not. Eczema is different than a normal rash that may occur due to excessive rubbing, scratching, or clothing wear. So don’t be too worried if you find yourself scratching an itch and developing a rash. A rash alone is not a sign of eczema. Rather, eczema is accompanied by very small raised bumps in the skin that become very painful.

No, it’s not easy. But here are some ideas that might come in handy.
Extreme discounter Aldi has put many grocers off balance in the 32 states where it operates. Now Lidl — also from Germany — is building a DC in Virginia and hiring a team for its own aggressive invasion of the U.S. market.
If you’re worried, you should be, whether you operate in the upscale or downscale arena. Both these international retailers have smashed their way into European markets and built significant share in a short time.
Let’s take a look at Aldi since it’s already here. Aldi has 1,500 stores in this country, and plans to have about 2,000 by the end of 2018. This month, it will open its first stores in Southern California, and it just started accepting credit cards nationwide, promising not to raise prices as a result.
Aldi says it has 30 million customers saving up to 50% on their grocery bills. The lowest prices, of course, are on its own-brand items. Aldi brands make up 90% of its food offerings. To build customer confidence, it offers a “double guarantee” — you can return any Aldi food item for any reason and get a replacement product and a refund.
Variety at Aldi stores is very limited, so fill-in shopping at a larger store is definitely necessary. You’d be wise to make a variety statement both in your stores and in your ads and promotion.
Pricing at Aldi is tough. Where I live, a major grocer was offering milk at $3.49 while it was only $1.99 at Aldi. If you’re competing with Aldi (and someday Lidl), you’ll want to keep a close eye on competitive pricing, especially in the relative handful of items with fast turns where shoppers have a good idea of the prices. Match or beat when it seems appropriate, but do stay up to date on what they’re up to.
If you’re upscale, never expect a free pass from Aldi. When I visit Aldis near me, I’m always surprised by the number of Mercedes and BMWs in the parking lots, and the number of expensively dressed shoppers carrying cloth shopping bags from upscale supermarkets.
If you accept coupons, and especially if you ever do double coupons, promote that against Aldi, which doesn’t take them. You can do a comparison basket showing how your shoppers can actually save money in your stores by using the coupons.
Guarantee or no, some shoppers are going to be leery of Aldi private label. When I had to duke it out with Aldi, I looked at key items in dairy and brought in no-name labels to compete. I didn’t want to weaken my own private label by footballing the pricing. Frankly, the no-name private brand was as good as my own private label and was packed by the same company. No, I didn’t sell much of it, but I had it and it made a price statement.
Stress your branded variety. Aldi doesn’t have that, and face it — shoppers are very loyal to certain brands. Do all you can to lure shoppers to your stores with deals on hot branded items.
If you go on Aldi’s website and click on the flyers at stores near you, you’ll see the chain is pushing health in a big way. Here’s a sample of what the flyers say: “Simple food minus the FLUFF and not-so-good-for you STUFF,” “Each item is free from 125 artificial ingredients and preservatives” and “A simpler approach to better food.”
If you aren’t touting the healthiness of your own foods — especially in private label — you’d better start now before Aldi takes the high ground and steals some of your shoppers. Aldi sure isn’t Whole Foods, but you don’t want it taking any share from you.
There are a few other hassles with the Aldi shopping experience you can use against them. Want to use a shopping cart? Well, pay 25 cents to borrow one, and you’ll get your quarter back when you return it. Want to find a sales clerk on the floor to help? Yeah, right! Want someone to bag your groceries? No. Want a shopping bag to put stuff in? It’ll cost you.
Aldi is tough, and Lidl will be, too. Lidl has about 10,000 stores in 26 countries all over Europe, where it turns in $84 billion in annual sales. When it opens its first U.S. stores by 2018, they’re expected to be in the range of 33,000 square feet. Do your research, and have a plan!


It might not be long before we stop referring to Jordan Lyles as a prospect and start referring to him as a bona fide member of the Astros' starting rotation.
For now, however, Lyles is, indeed, a prospect -- and a highly regarded one, at that.
MLB.com revealed its annual list of the Top 50 prospects in baseball Tuesday, and Lyles, ranked No. 31 overall, is the lone representative from the Astros' system. Lyles ranked No. 10 among right-handed pitchers.
As this Houston team goes through a youth movement, Lyles is the most intriguing name that will soon get Major League consideration.
"He's pretty special," manager Brad Mills recently told The Oklahoman. "I'm looking forward to what he's going to bring to the Major League club on a very, very, very short time period."
Pretty high praise for a guy who just turned 20 in October.
Lyles will be in the Astros' spring camp as a non-roster invitee and could find himself in competition for the club's fifth starter's spot. More likely, he'll begin 2011 at Triple-A, where he pitched the last month of the 2010 season. Lyles began the season at Double-A Corpus Christi, where he went 7-9 with a 3.12 ERA in 21 appearances (20 starts), striking out 115 and walking 35 in 127 innings. After the move to Round Rock, he went 0-3 with a 5.40 ERA in six starts.
The 38th overall pick in the 2008 Draft, Lyles has gone 17-26 with a 3.54 ERA in 68 appearances in his professional career.
Lyles' quick leap to the Triple-A level has him on the cusp of a big league break-in. And he's ascended to this point thanks to a polished three-pitch mix that includes a fastball, curveball and changeup. He doesn't have overpowering velocity, but he's developed a reputation for impeccable command.
Mills and his coaching staff will get a first-hand look at that command next month in Kissimmee, Fla. And if Lyles lives up to his potential, Astros fans will soon see it, too.

By John Horgan
Science Cult Ray Kurzweil's vision of a 'Singularity' has attracted some followers, but don't expect it anytime soon. The computer entrepreneur Ray Kurzweil says that we are on the verge of a "Singularity."
In physics, a "singularity" is an event or place, like the big bang or a black hole, where the laws of physics are stretched to the breaking point. Singularitarians (which some call themselves) have adopted the term to describe a radical transformation of consciousness that will result from breakthroughs in artificial intelligence as well as nanotechnology, biotechnology and neuroscience.
At first, Singularitarians say, we may become cyborgs, as WiFi-equipped brain chips, nanobots and genetic modifications soup up our intelligence, perception and memory. Eventually, we may abandon our flesh-and-blood selves entirely and transform our psyches into giant software programs. We will then "upload" ourselves into computers and dwell forever in cyberspace. Our transformation into immortal, God-like cyberbeings will supposedly take place not millennia or centuries from now but within the next few decades.
Kurzweil makes his case by showing graph after graph documenting the explosive progress over the past few decades in information technologies, including computers, the Internet, cell phones and so on. These advances are indeed astounding.
The problem is, some crucial scientific endeavours have made little or no progress over the past few decades.
For example, artificial-intelligence researchers, including Kurzweil himself, have invented programs that can read text, translate languages, recognize speech, interpret cardiograms and play championship-level chess. But they haven't come to close to creating the kind of artificial intelligence depicted in countless sci-fi films, from the cute R2D2 of Star Wars to the evil HAL of 2001: A Space Odyssey. Marvin Minsky, who served as an adviser for 2001, noted recently that computers still lack the common sense of a 4-year-old child; they can't even tell the difference between cats and dogs. "I wish I could tell you that we have intelligent machines," Minsky lamented, "but we don't."
Singularitarians such as Kurzweil insist that scientists will soon "reverse-engineer" the brain so that they understand exactly how it works. Many neuroscientists assume that, just as computers operate according to a machine code, so the brain's performance must depend on a "neural code"; this is the set of rules, syntax or algorithms that transforms electrical impulses emitted by brain cells into perceptions, memories, meanings, intentions. Researchers are trying to decode the brain by probing it with ever-more-powerful technologies, such as magnetic-resonance imaging, positron-emission tomography and microelectrodes.
Cracking the neural code should yield all sorts of benefits. First, the brain's programming tricks could be transferred to computers to make them smarter. Moreover, given the right interface, our brains and computers could communicate as readily as Macs and PCs. Eventually, our personal software could be extracted from our bodies for uploading into computers.
If a neural code exists, however, neuroscientists still have no idea what it is. Far from converging on a solution, scientists cannot agree whether information is represented primarily by signals from individual neurons, or brain cells, by oscillations of many neurons firing in tandem, by even higher-level waves of chaotic electrical activity sweeping through the brain or all of the above. This lack of understanding is reflected in the slow pace of research on so-called neural prostheses, which replace or supplement capacities lost because of damage to the nervous system.
The only truly successful neural prosthesis is the artificial cochlea. More than 100,000 hearing-impaired people have been equipped with those devices, which restore hearing by feeding signals from an external microphone to the auditory nerve.
Artificial retinas, light-sensitive chips that mimic the eye's signal-processing ability and stimulate the optical nerve or visual cortex, have been tested in a handful of blind subjects, but most have been able to see nothing more than phosphenes, or bright spots. A few paralyzed patients have learned to control a computer cursor "merely by thinking," as the media invariably put it, via implanted electrodes that pick up the patients' neural signals—but communicating that way remains slow and unreliable.
Kurzweil has excessive faith not only in artificial intelligence and neuroscience but also in biotechnology. In his book Fantastic Voyage: Live Long Enough to Live Forever, co-written with a physician, he claims that the Human Genome Project and related advances will soon yield cures both for specific diseases and even aging itself. The identification of specific genes underpinning inherited disease—such as Huntington's disease and immune-deficiency syndrome—has inspired researchers to devise therapies to correct the genetic malformations.
So far, scientists have carried out hundreds of clinical trials of gene therapy, and not one has been an unqualified success. The treatments have sickened some patients and even killed them. The record of cancer treatment is also dismal. Since 1971, when President Richard Nixon declared a "war on cancer," the United States has spent more than $70 billion on research, and the annual budget for the National Cancer Institute has increased by a factor of 20, from $250 million to $5 billion. Scientists have gained a much better understanding of the molecular and genetic underpinnings of cancer, but this knowledge has not yielded significant improvements in treatments. Overall cancer mortality rates in the U.S. actually rose from 1971 until the early 1990s before declining slightly over the last decade or so—largely because of a decrease in the number of male smokers.
Given the track record of treatments for inherited diseases and cancer, proclamations about the imminence of immortality are absurd.
Part of me—the part that thrilled at prospects for artificial intelligence almost 30 years ago—finds Kurzweil's prophesies highly entertaining. He raises lots of provocative questions: What would be like to be immortal? To have an IQ of 1,000? To exist not as a doomed, flesh-and-blood creature but as a piece of software that can keep redesigning itself and merging with other programs?
But another part of me—the grown-up, responsible part—worries that so many people, smart people, are taking Kurzweil's sci-fi fantasies seriously. The last thing humanity needs right now is an apocalyptic cult masquerading as science.

Very few details about the recent Vienna talks have been made public as most attendees have largely avoided making statements on the progress of the negotiations, perhaps because most of the political and media attention was concentrated instead on the tragic events in Paris.
The press conference that was held by the foreign ministers of the United States and Russia, along with the UN envoy to Syria, Staffan de Mistura, did not suggest real progress had been made, as the main and fundamental disagreement remained, without which talk of a political solution in Syria is much ado about nothing.
What the two ministers claimed to have agreed upon was nothing more than the Russian plan that was leaked a few days ago and was categorically rejected by an overwhelming majority of Syria’s political and military opposition groups, as well as Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Turkey.
The talk of a solution carried out by Syrians themselves, as the two ministers said, is based on the formation of a national unity government (not a governing body with full executive powers, as previously stated in Geneva), followed by the adoption of a new constitution before conducting general elections, with participation from the internal and external Syrian opposition (under the authority of Assad and his security forces).
But this general view cannot be applied on the ground, just like the supposed willingness of the permanent Security Council members to issue a resolution supporting a cease fire, as agreed upon by all Syrian parties (who will not meet on the vague basis of the Vienna conference, and, if they did, will not agree in light of the gap between the supporters of the two parties).
These talks have exhibited these countries' clear abandonment of their responsibility to protect Syrian civilians and maintain the security and integrity of the members of the international community. If this cease fire fails to include the Islamic State, Nusra Front and other terrorist groups to be specified by the Vienna group, it would be rejected by the overwhelming majority of the militant factions, as they would consider the open list of terrorist organizations as a sword hanging over any opposition faction that rejects the Russian plan (a plan which aims to keep the tyrant Assad regime, flatly ignoring the primary goal that motivated the Syrian revolution).
The speech of the Russian and US ministers caused much frustration for many Syrians who had hoped the tragic events of Paris would embolden the international community to find solutions to the Syrian tragedy – a prelude necessary to unite the peoples of the region with the global efforts in the war against terrorism, not only in Syria but also In Iraq, Libya, Yemen and Egypt.
This could be done through the lifting of injustice, preventing Iran from deepening the sectarian strife in the region by arming and supporting sectarian militias in Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, and Yemen, and trying to dominate and conquer these communities, where the Iranian encroachment with its clear sectarian background leads the disaffected and miserable youth of these communities to join radical organizations.
The description given by the US Secretary of State regarding events in Syria was realistic, as he spoke of peaceful demonstrations faced by bullets, torture and abuse, as well as the negative role of Iran and the Lebanese and Iraqi militias fighting alongside Assad forces (which have been excluded from the terrorist organizations mentioned earlier), the nature of the Assad regime’s relationship with ISIS, and finally the crimes committed by this tyrant against his own people. But the plan, which the US foreign minister agreed to adopt with backing from his Russian counterpart, cannot be a solution to the problem that he himself described.
In the end, the fate of the Vienna conference will not differ from the fate of Geneva, which remains only in words and not deeds, and that shows the gap between the regional and international forces is still immense and no closer to being patched up.
The situation continues as it is now, and the US indifference and brutality of the Iranian and Russian aggression will lead to more destruction in Syria, and the deepening of sectarian strife – fueled by both Iran and its militias on the one hand, and the extremist organizations on the other side – which will only lead to further instability in the Middle East. This dilemma requires Syrians and Arabs and other regional countries to unite their efforts and send a unified message to the United States, Russia and the international community, that we will not accept this situation, and that we are serious in ending this mess, whatever it takes, because the fate of the region and its countries and peoples cannot be fuel for this destructive sectarian strife.

Lushux has been gaining massive attention for his murals of 50 Cent depicted as various public figures, including snitch rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine, Taylor Swift, President Donald Trump, former Chinese Chairman Mao Zedong and others. 50 has been an outspoken critic of the murals and recently told his social media followers that the Australian graffiti artist “needs a ass whoopin bad.”
However, most people assumed 50 was joking with many people even speculating that 50 Cent may be actually supporting Lushux in his tag work.
Lushux is now claiming that he has been assaulted over his work, writing on Instagram, “50 seems to want some more walls? Unfortunately some 6 or 7 smoothebrains at one time on the street already put me in hospital already this month because of this sh*t. I dont like to bring up all the bad stuff I have to deal with just to paint some ha ha funny you laugh now images on walls but I guess now is a chance. “
“I constantly have to unwillingly fight people ( among other insane sh*t you would not believe even if I told you ) on the street who for whatever cooked reason seem to feel the need to come up to me at a wall and start trouble. It’s tiresome, but it will not ever stop me doing what 99.8% of what everyone else seems to for the most part get a hearty chuckle out of, because they aren’t sociopathic pieces of sh*t.”
Lushux describes himself as “Number one 50 cent stan account on the internet🥇” Find the post below.
