A summary of the NSPCC conference 2017 – ‘How safe are our children?’
10th July 2017
Last month we attended the 5th annual NSPCC conference in Westminster, London – and what a day it was! With expert speakers from a plethora of working backgrounds including the Children’s Commissioner’s Office, the Big Lottery Fund, Alberta Family Wellness Initiative and, of course, the NSPCC, the conference was overflowing with knowledge about the safeguarding space. Here a few highlights and insights from the day.
Claire Lilley – Head of Child Safety Online NSPCC
First to talk at the NSPCC conference was Claire Lilley, Head of Child Safety Online. Claire talked passionately about the work that NSPCC tirelessly achieve whilst sharing the hard-hitting statistics that demonstrate the need for this work to continue. A few of these statistics included:
Claire’s powerful talk finished with the surprising fact that there is yet to be an informed report on abuse, meaning that no one knows how many children and young adults are being abused. The world we live in since 2009 has changed drastically – we’re now digitalised. Claire’s message rang loud and clear: that we can help children get back on track and we need to. We need to count all children who have been abused because they are all counting on us.
Sara Rowbotham- Sexual Health Worker Hero
Next on the agenda at the NSPCC conference was Sara Rowbotham‘s talk, led by a clip from the recently aired docu-drama ‘Three Girls’ which explored the Rochdale grooming scandal. The scene shown dramatized the real-life moment that Sara exclaimed her frustration towards the police, council and social workers who had ignored the needs of the young girls that fell victim to grooming, sexual assault and trafficking within Rochdale.
It is safe to say that the scene left everyone in the room eager to ask questions about the horrors she discovered and, more importantly, what can be done to prevent these situations reoccurring.
- How did you initially deal with the situation?
A. Firstly, I went through Childline, who quickly told me that the services were purely for children and young adults and I directed to their sister company, the NSPCC, who were able to give me some advice. I later went onto speak to the former Rochdale MP Simon Danczuk who truly listened to me.
- What’s the one bit of advice you would give to people who observe this kind of situation?
A. If you haven’t written it down, it didn’t happen. Always have evidence.
- What is the role of education in preventing this happening again?
A. People within education have the opportunity to work with the support services. You can gather information and report it. In my case, a teacher at one of the schools played a big part in getting justice.
- What was the sentiment that you received following the docu-drama ‘Three Girls’?
A. From what I’ve been told three arrests were made the night ‘Three Girls’ aired due to people coming forward.
Listening to Sara talk so passionately about her experiences and the need for change was extremely humbling for the audience. Sara’s determination is sheer proof that people can change the course of action and can help prevent and stop cases of child grooming.
Mahima Ahmed- Trustee, Apps for Good
Passionate and determined, Mahima Ahmed is the co-founder of Transit and a trustee fellow for Apps for Good. She’s also a biomedical engineering student at Imperial College (we are never going to say we are too busy again!). Mahima spoke graciously at the NSPCC conference about her efforts with Apps for Good which aims to ‘help young people make their future with new technology’.
A key message that Mahima conveyed was that, as adults, we have to work with young people – pointing out that although we are preventing children from risk by ‘banning’ social media sites, we are also taking away the opportunities that the internet presents. This message was further reiterated from three incredibly passionate, confident and intelligent students from an Impero customer, Denbigh High School, who spoke of their entry to the annual Apps for Good Awards, which recognises the top apps created by students through the Apps for Good course.
Three more students from Impero customer, Bristol Free School, took centre stage and talked fervently about their role in empowering people online. The roles were reversed however, as they work extensively with the wider community in educating adults on how to stay safe online by, for example, being able to identify fraudulent emails. This reinforced their mission to promote how we can mutually benefit from opening up two-way communication between adults and young people – continually learning from each other.
Nancy Mannix- Chair and Patron, Alberta Family Wellness Initiate
‘The Alberta Family Wellness Initiative (AFWI) facilitates research into early brain development, as well as addiction and mental health treatment, and applies this research to policies and practices that support positive lifelong health outcomes’. Nancy shared readily her expertise on Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE’s) and place-based transformation through neuroscience.
By examining ACE’s, the AFWI have discovered how neuroscience can aid in understanding addiction and other negative health impacts through ‘The Brain Story’.
By gaining an understanding into how and when to support young people in their development stages, Nancy explained how first line workers can drastically improve children’s chances to have happier and healthier lives by reducing toxic stress. If you wish to learn more on this topic, the AFWI have developed a ‘Brain Story Certification’ for free, which includes videos of over 30 experts in neurobiology, visit their website here.
what we learnt from the NSPCC conference
The way we have progressed in the last 10 years with in the digital world has been outstanding and it is clear from the messages of all who spoke at the NSPCC conference that the opportunities it provides cannot be undervalued. Despite this, there is still a tremendous amount of work to be done across multiple sectors to ensure our children are kept safe – a goal we strive to achieve here at Impero.
Full list of the organisation speakers at the event: NSPCC, Apps for Good, Sheldon Kennedy Child Advocacy Centre, The Alberta Family Wellness Initiative, Triangle, Nottingham City Council, West London Zone, Barnardo’s, Early Intervention Foundation, ReThink, The FA, The Video Standards Council, Agenda, Palix Foundation, Calgary Urban Project Society, Ukie, Big Lottery Fund

Rohit Sharma fan from Sri Lanka portrays his love for IPL and Mumbai Indians
The video also goes through his craziness for Rohit and a slideshow of pictures with him
Updated - Apr 27, 2018 5:09 pm
Rohit Sharma has been a star player in the Indian setup for a long time now. He has a wide popularity not only in India but across the globe too. That is pretty much evident in social media too. Even in Sri Lanka, Rohit enjoys a great fan following.
Mohammed Nilam is one such fan of Rohit hailing from the island of Sri Lanka. He has been an ardent follower of Mumbai Indians in the IPL as well. Recently, the official handle of the Mumbai Indians accounts posted a video on Twitter where Nilam speaks about his love for MI.
Travelling all over from Sri Lanka, Mohammed Nilam portrays his love for Rohit Sharma. He also tells about the different stadiums he has visited in India and describes Wankhede as his favourite. The video also goes through his craziness for Rohit and a slideshow of pictures with him.
— Mumbai Indians (@mipaltan) April 25, 2018
How Rohit helped his fan from Sri Lanka
During Sri Lanka’s recent tour of India, Nilam had to rush back to Sri Lanka as his father was detected with throat cancer. Sudhir ensured Rohit got in touch with Nilam who paid for his flight tickets to ensure he was back home with his father.
Rohit had also promised a visit to Nilam’s home in Colombo. He went on to fulfil it during the Nidahas Trophy last month which India went on to win. The final match is famously known for Dinesh Karthik’s last ball six to win the Tri Series.
“I know him (Nilam) for many years now. He has cheered for me for so long now. I still remember he was crying a day after the Test in India, telling me how his father was not feeling well.” Rohit had earlier told.
Mumbai Indians’ patchiness in the IPL
Mumbai Indians haven’t begun well this year. They’ve always had the reputation of being slow starters but if they don’t step up soon, it might soon be too late for them. Right from Rohit’s inconsistency to lower order’s form, the list has been never-ending. Moreover, every game they’ve lost, the result could’ve gone either way. It’s high time they start seizing the moment before it’s too late.

November 23, 2013: Better Pranking Through Science
So somebody just invented a magic spray product that you coat a surface with, causing that surface to completely repel water. You can buy it on Amazon. The applications for this thing are endless. Spray it on a page of a friend's notebook and watch as they try to write on it with their ink pen. Spray it on your shirt, then watch them be amazed as you spill mustard on it and it just jumps right off. Spray it on their paper towels. Think about it. Science is an amazing thing.

These behaviors also occur in kids without ADHD. Great care has to be taken in diagnosing a child under 5 with ADHD, especially if medication is being considered. A diagnosis as of the young age is the most appropriate made by a child psychiatrist or a nurse devoted to behavior and development.
C. Difficulty Focus There are indicate your child has difficulty with attention, a vital sign of ADHD.
• inability to target one activity

• difficulty listening on account of distraction
• problems following directions and processing information Note, however, that these behaviors could be ordinary in a toddler.
D. Signs and Symptoms of ADHD in Toddlers :
• Attention span
• Next steps E. Recognizing ADHD in toddlers Does your child have attention deficit disorder, often known as ADHD? It is not always easy to tell, since toddlers normally have difficulty paying attention normally. But ADHD is far more than simply typical toddler behavior. According on the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the condition can extend beyond toddler age to influence teens as well as adults. This is why it’s important to recognize warning signs of ADHD in early youth.
F. What age are children diagnosed with ADHD? According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), around 6.4 million children between the ages of 4 and 17 are identified as having ADHD in the USA. Most ADHD in toddlers are diagnosed during their time at elementary school.
Children with mild ADHD are diagnosed at around 8 years old, and children with severe ADHD are diagnosed earlier, at 5 years old. G. Is there evidence that ADHD might be diagnosed in toddlers? Although AAP guidelines don’t address diagnosing ADHD in children aged 3 and younger, there is evidence that toddlers are increasingly being diagnosed and treated for ADHD.
Possible causes and risk factors that time toward ADHD in toddlers include: • Genetics
• Mother with drugs, alcohol, or smoking when pregnant, or experience surroundings toxins in pregnancy
• Premature birth or low birth weight
• Central neurological system issues at critical moments in development Studies have demostrated that the following may be early signs of ADHD. It is vital that you observe that wish child has some of these indicators does not necessarily mean they’ve ADHD:
• Decline in head growth rate
• Behavioral difficulties One study shows that one third of youngsters with ADHD had speech development delays at 9 months old. A study of school-age kids notes that mothers reported signs and symptoms of ADHD beginning before or at age 4 by 50% thirds with the children. While there are no criteria to diagnose toddlers with ADHD, research signifies that 3-year-olds who present signs of ADHD will certainly meet diagnostic criteria for ADHD throughout the ages of 13 yrs. old. The 2010-2011 National Survey of Children’s Health found that there are around 194,000 children between 2 and several years of aging who has been diagnosed with ADHD. H.

Protecting Intellectual Property For Startups
Daftarkhwan recently kicked-off its first ‘DK Insights’ session. Aimed at helping its member community hone its entrepreneurial skills and developing the exciting ideas that exist within the co-working space, ‘DK Insights’ promises to bring in experts from various fields so that they may share their experience and knowledge with the DK community. The first session touched upon an issue of growing concern among Pakistani startups: securing intellectual property. Realizing the importance of this issue, the good people at Daftarkhwan invited information security expert Atif Ahmed to shed some light on it.
Atif is a researcher at the University of Melbourne and a leading professional in the world of information systems. He, drawing on his experience from working as a cybersecurity consultant at renowned firms like WorleyParsons and SinclairKnightMerz, started his talk by pointing out the importance of IP protection not just to individual startups but to entire nations, citing the monetary loss the United States incurred as a result of IP leaks going to Chinese corporations. Atif then moved on to highlight the modus operandi of most IP grabbers and claimed that, “Intellectual property protection is not just a cybersecurity problem but a knowledge problem as well.” Elaborating on his claim, which challenged most of the audience’s pre-conceived notions on information security, he said that ideas are often stolen not via direct security breaches but by the unintentional, and sometimes intentional, leaking of knowledge from within organisations, pointing towards the examples of DuPont v. Kolon industries and T-Mobile v. Huaweii. Atif also touched upon the value of entire ecosystems within successful organisations, stating that specific codes and ideas are not the only things a company needs to protect but it is also the know-how that lives within its employees and its production line that requires protection.
After introducing everyone to the reality of things, Atif moved on to show his audience of aspiring entrepreneurs how they could maximize security for their unique startups. To most people, the most intuitive answer to the IP security problem is legal protection. Atif, however, does not agree with the efficacy of such solutions. Non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) are an excuse to talk about confidential information openly while patents only reveal information to competitors trying to build similar projects, in Atif’s opinion. So, to help secure their ideas, he asked the audience to map the flow of information within their respective systems. “Information can flow through digital media, physical media and cognitive media,” he said. It then becomes important for companies, according to him, to ensure the confidentiality of information flowing through each of these mediums. Information is often left exposed when it comes to physical and cognitive media, he claimed. Something as simple as the over-copying of files and informally talking about work with someone can lead to a security breach, as far as Atif is concerned. In Atif’s opinion, it is also important to prioritise information by assessing its value to the company before issuing encryptions on it since it is easier to protect specific pieces of information as opposed to all of it. “When you realise that only 1% of your know-how is valuable, suddenly the world becomes an easier place to live in,” he said. Startups must also compartmentalize information since the secrecy of their principal idea ensures that they have a competitive advantage in the market that they are trying to enter. However, over-compartmentalization might also be a problem, said Atif, since it takes away from a startup’s ability to discuss ideas, share knowledge and innovate. Startups must know who they want to hide information from during different stages of growth and they can only do so once they identify their competitors and gauge their capabilities.
Atif concluded his talk by opening the floor for questions which gave the audience a chance to voice their individual concerns about IP protection in Pakistan.

A large coalition of community and civil rights organizations have sent a letter urging the San Francisco Board of Supervisors to oppose or significantly amend a San Francisco Police Department (SFPD) proposal that would drastically increase their surveillance powers— threatening the privacy and safety of San Franciscans.
The SFPD’s proposal would give the police the ability to access thousands of private surveillance cameras—including those outside of residences and businesses, as well as the massive surveillance networks of the many Business Improvement Districts and Community Benefit Districts in various neighborhoods around the city. Currently, police can only request historical footage from these cameras related to incident reports with specific times and locations. But this new proposal would give police the power to live monitor “significant events”—defined to include any “large or high-profile event,” implicating people exercising their First Amendment rights during protests or religious gatherings. This concern is far from hypothetical: EFF and the ACLU of Northern California sued the city after SFPD used a business district’s camera network to live-monitor protests for 8 days following the police murder of George Floyd in the summer of 2020.
The proposal would also allow for live surveillance for any ongoing felony or misdemeanor violation. This vague and expansive language would make thousands of San Franciscans engaging in everyday activities vulnerable to vast new police surveillance, and would further criminalize communities of color, activists, immigrants, and LGBTQ people.
As the coalition writes:
If the SFPD asked the city to buy thousands of new cameras for live surveillance, residents and the Board would be rightly alarmed. SFPD’s proposal to exploit private surveillance cameras should be met with the same skepticism.
The letter further points out that the proposal:
- Permits the SFPD to request camera footage from a private camera owner that it believes to be relevant to a criminal investigation, but places no limits on how much video SFPD can obtain, and allows SFPD to retain such footage for two years.
- Allows the SFPD to share camera footage with out-of-state and federal law enforcement agencies for criminal or administrative investigations—a particularly concerning prospect in a post-Roe
- Fails to define any process by which an officer will request access or obtain meaningful consent from a private camera owner, incentivizing unvetted or coercive requests.
Three years ago, EFF joined a coalition of community groups to pass the city’s landmark Surveillance Technology Ordinance, which, among other things, empowers the Board of Supervisors, with public input, to decide whether and under what circumstances city agencies may acquire and use surveillance technology. Earlier this year, this coalition led the fight against a dangerous ballot initiative that would have gutted this landmark piece of privacy legislation. Now our privacy is under attack again.
We are asking for friends of EFF and defenders of privacy and civil rights and to stand together and oppose the vast new video surveillance powers sought by the SFPD.

Researchers look to ancient melts to predict which species might survive in the present
PLOS Biology via Wikimedia Commons
What's the difference between then and now?
Looking the past to learn more about how different species might fare under today's anthropogenic climate change, researcher Gemma Clucas of the University of Southhampton, U.K., and her team collected samples of feathers and blood from 537 individual Adélie, chinstrap, and gentoo penguins, which live and breed near each other on the Antarctic Peninsula, and sequenced DNA from the samples.
By calculating the rate of genetic diversification revealed in the DNA, Clucas and her team were able to project how the different species' populations changed over time, and draw some tentative conclusions about why. Their findings are published in the June 12, 2014 edition of the open-access journal Scientific Reports.
Their findings suggest that while a certain absence of ice is important to improving the welfare of penguins, too little can tip things against them.
During the last Ice Age, the amount of ice covering land and water around the Antarctic Peninsula limited the growth of these penguin populations, because all three species need access to the sea to feed, and ice-free land for breeding. When snow and ice cover on both water and land decreased, the penguins were able to get at increased amounts of krill, minute shrimp which feed on algae growing beneath the ice. There was also more ice-free land available for nesting and raising chicks. Gentoo, chinstrap, and Adélie penguins all appear to have flourished for thousands of years under these conditions.
But with sea-ice further melting over the last half-century, krill habitat has also decreased. Most colonies of chinstraps and Adélie, which have krill-heavy diets, are losing numbers fast, while gentoo penguins, which eat a wider array of fish and squid in addition to krill, seem to be showing greater resilience to the shifting environment. Clucas and her colleagues think the more varied diet is a key:
This ‘reversal of fortunes’ for two former climate change ‘winners’ has resulted from anthropogenic impacts outside the range of natural variation that has occurred in the past. Rapid warming trends in the Antarctic Peninsula over the past 50 years has led to decreased sea ice, loss of winter habitat, and a reduction in krill stocks that is negatively affecting Adélie and chinstrap penguins, but not gentoo penguins5, 18, which apparently are not as reliant on krill17. While we know of no other examples of ‘reversal in fortunes’ as documented here, we expect many more will be identified as global warming proceeds and biodiversity declines.The researchers don't want the findings to be taken as a sign that global warming is nothing to worry about, however. Says one report co-author in a statement, "We are not saying that today's warming climate is good for penguins. In fact, the current decline of some penguin species suggests that the warming climate has gone too far for most penguins."

The facilities are the PURE Casino Edmonton, PURE Casino Yellowhead in Edmonton, PURE Casino Calgary, and PURE Casino Lethbridge.
VICI has entered into a triple-net master lease agreement with PURE for the future operation of the facilities.
The PURE master lease has an initial total annual rent of approximately $21.8 million. This represents an implied acquisition capitalization rate of eight per cent, and has an initial term of 25 years, with four five-year tenant renewal options.
“Over the last five-and-a-half years, VICI has built a portfolio of market-leading experiential real estate. Today’s announcement marks another momentous first for VICI as we expand our footprint internationally into Canada with the acquisition of the PURE portfolio,” said John Payne, president and chief operating officer of VICI Properties, in the announcement. “This transaction highlights our ability to source, structure and fund cross-border transactions, widening our opportunity set as we continue along our growth trajectory.
“We are pleased to add PURE as our 11th tenant and look forward to a mutually beneficial partnership.”
The casinos and their features
Features of the facilities include:
- Edmonton: 72,000 square feet, opened in 1986. Contains 27 table games, 16 poker tables, 852 slots and 28 VLTs. It has three food and beverage outlets.
- Yellowhead: 75,000 square feet, opened in 2000. Contains 24 table games, 15 poker tables, 753 slots, 26 VLTs. It has four food and beverage outlets.
- Calgary: 57,000 square feet, opened in 1997. Contains 27 table games, 12 poker tables, 832 slots and 22 VLTs. It has one food and beverage outlet.
- Lethbridge: 43,450 square feet, opened in 1988. Contains 11 table games, 13 poker tables, 427 slots and 28 VLTs. It has two food and beverage outlets.
Each of the facilities also includes a mix of social and show rooms, executive lounges, meeting spaces and a stage at PURE Casino Edmonton.
VICI reported it has financed the transaction with a combination of cash on hand and by drawing down funds under its existing revolving credit facility.
In an investor presentation on its website VICI says the contractual annual rent escalations are 1.25 per cent in the first three years, and the greater of Canada’s consumer price index, or 1.5 per cent, in years four-plus. The latter increases are capped at 2.5 per cent annually.
In a brief financial report, VICI says the casinos reported EBITDAR of $38.5 million in the 12 months ended Sept. 30, 2022, and a net income of $8.8 million.
The presentation calls Canada a “highly attractive” gaming market with over $17 billion in annual revenues across 114 casinos.
PURE is the largest gaming operator in Alberta, which VICI identifies as a “highly regulated market with minimal competitive threats and no significant changes to the business model over the last 30-plus years.”

This light, bright, and airy brand photoshoot for Jess, XO was such a joy to shoot! Jess is a copywriter who works so deeply with clients to pull out the words they never dreamed could possibly describe their brand. She helps clients discover their brand voice, write full website copy, and can even help develop full blown welcome sequences. She’s pure magic!
Jess is a service-based company, a type of company most people wouldn’t typically imagine a commercial photoshoot would be a match for. They’d imagine an in-person brand photoshoot or stock imagery, but commercial photography? Hm, no. But, guess what? So not true! Without a product and without shooting the person behind the brand, we can still capture stunning images that beautifully incorporate a brand’s colors & emotions, tell a brand’s story, and communicates their offerings!
I’d already worked with Jess back in August to develop her full brand identity & marks, style & shoot brand images, and develop & design her website. We had her base images, but after chatting with her a bit, we knew we wanted images that flowed perfectly with the upcoming seasons. Toning down the major pops of bright pink & blue that fit a little better with summer, and bringing out more of the camel, grey, and white tones in her brand to fit with the cooler season ahead.
We shot images that worked perfectly for the current fall season, the upcoming holiday season, and that flowed beautifully on into the new year!

MISSOURI —There are numerous businesses looking to fill more positions, and the shortage of workers, in some fields, predates the pandemic.
But a program in Missouri is changing that. In fact, it’s ahead of schedule.
Rick Nixon has been in the auto repair industry since he was a teenager and thinks it’s a great idea to get people in that age group interested in that occupation. This is why his business participates in an apprenticeship program with Franklin Tech.
“I think there’s a huge shortage, and any kind of apprentice program or training program that would grasp young kids, get them excited about it, get them some training should be beneficial,” said Rick Nixon, Owner, Nixon’s Garage.
Brandon Rumsey is one of two Franklin Tech students going through an apprenticeship program at Nixon’s and would encourage other high school students or adults to earn while they learn.
“I think it would be perfect for them if they’re actually trying to find a career path or trying to get maybe good money in the future,” said Rumsey.
A program aimed at getting young people into some of those fields is actually ahead of schedule. It’s called Apprenticeships Missouri, and it’s surpassed its 2019 goal of serving 20,000 new registered apprentices by 2025.
Franklin Tech started an apprenticeship program that same year with just a handful of students.
Dr. Elsie Morris, Franklin Tech Special Services Coordinator says the number of students, as well as employers involved in the program, continues to grow.
“Currently we have 11 students who are actively participating in an apprenticeship, we have three on an extended apprenticeship, those are our seniors from last year, who will be finishing up by the fall of this year, so once they complete their training, they will receive a journeyman certification from the Department of Labor,” said Dr. Morris.
Some apprentice programs require as little as one year to complete. The program is open to students from six area high schools, as well as home-schooled students and adults.

OPINION Computing Editor Michael Passingham likes the idea of Project Avalon, but the realities of computing mean it faces an uphill struggle
On the opening day of Computex, Asus unveiled Project Avalon, imagining a future of modular PCs where cable tangles, uncertainties about component sizes and unexplained hand bleeding are no more.
Asus is not the first to imagine this, of course. Razer tried it with the oil-cooled concept Project Christine (below) in 2014, and we’ve not heard a peep about it since.
In 2015, Acer pitched in with the Acer Revo Build. A slightly different concept, but with its release date intended to be the end of 2015, a total absence of available modules and no sign of it on store shelves five months into 2016, one has to wonder where it’s got to.
In late-2015, Microsoft patented a very similar stackable computer idea including a screen, although this is just a patent so the fact we’ve seen nothing of it is not exactly unexpected.
The double-sided motherboard with a PCI-E connector and riser at the rear
In 2016, Asus is trying again, and it’s the most compelling (and realistic-looking) idea yet. The basic concept is a set of standard parts and connectors for a desktop PC.
These include attachments for power supplies, removable SSD trays and a two-sided motherboard that comes pre-installed in your PC case. To switch out a piece of hardware, you just slot it out and put another one in.
A couple of I/O modules
It’s all cable-less (aside from pesky graphics cards, which need cumbersome PCI-E power cables) and it means you can build a fairly compact and easily-upgradable PC or, more sensibly, sell a pre-built PC with the promise of future upgrades. For example, maybe you want to add Wi-Fi to your motherboard, or add a new port? Just replace the I/O block at the rear with a new one.
Granted, cables are a faff and some of the ports are bafflingly stupid and hard to connect, and trying to work out where you put your magnetic mini screwdriver is annoying, but the inevitable extra costs of creating components specifically for an Avalon case will make this a hard ask for enthusiast PC builders. Other cases already do this
What’s more, adding connectivity and other bits and pieces isn’t as simple a few years down the line: a new type of data transfer standard might exist in the future (think a new SATA or M.2), but because the motherboard baked into your Avalon system is inflexible, you’ll have to buy an entirely new one and go through the muddle of fitting it anyway. And don’t get me started on processors.
That Avalon PCs will be more expensive than regular ones is an assumption, but a safe one, I think. And, for enthusiasts, that will be the decider. Perhaps Asus hopes to lure in people who would otherwise buy a console instead, but I’m even less convinced by that.
Disagree? Tell us in the comments.

Gadget Freak Bill Bowden has created a security system that calls you when an alarm is triggered. You can set it up to indicate intrusion into a door, window, office or pool. It can also connect to a panic button. The circuit includes a small PIC microcontroller, an assembly program and a handful of other parts that can be designed to detect the interruption of a switch closure or the connection of a panic button. When the circuit is tripped, the gadget dials your number and indicates what device has been triggered.
The construction cost for the security circuit is less than $30. As well as circuit parts, you will also need a PIC programmer to load the program into the microcontroller.
What if algae borne of fertilizer runoff that pollutes rivers and lakes could be harvested and used as biofuel feedstock? What if the leftovers could be recycled into farm soil nutrients, eliminating at least some of the need for artificial fertilizers in the first place? Western Michigan University researchers have a plan.
Manufacturers of plastic parts recognize the potential of conformal cooling to reduce molding cycle times. Problem is, conformal molds require additive manufacturing (AM), and technologies in that space are still evolving. Costs also can be high, and beyond that, many manufacturing organizations lack the knowledge and expertise needed to apply and incorporate additive technologies into their operations.
Focus on Fundamentals consists of 45-minute on-line classes that cover a host of technologies. You learn without leaving the comfort of your desk. All classes are taught by subject-matter experts and all are archived. So if you can't attend live, attend at your convenience.

Check fields for SCN to prepare for 2007
Is Version Of
The soybean cyst nematode (SCN) continues to be an extremely damaging and widespread pest of soybean in Iowa and many other Midwestern states. The nematode infests more than 70 percent of the fields in Iowa and more than 80 percent of the fields in Illinois. Often there is no obvious stunting or yellowing of soybean plants in infested fields. Consequently, many SCN-infested fields in Iowa have not been diagnosed.

Family And Friend Investing Via Crowdfunding
What is investing? At its simplest, investing is when you buy properties you expect to earn a make money from in the future. That might describe buying a home (or other residential or commercial property) you think will increase in value, though it typically describes purchasing stocks and bonds. How is investing different than saving? Saving and investing both involve setting aside cash for future usage, but there are a lot of differences, too.
But it most likely won’t be much and typically stops working to keep up with inflation (the rate at which costs are rising). Normally, it’s finest to just invest cash you will not require for a little while, as the stock exchange varies and you don’t want to be forced to offer stocks that are down because you require the cash.
Before you can invest any of the money you’ve developed through investments, you’ll need to offer them. With stocks, it might take days prior to the proceeds are settled in your savings account, and selling property can take months (or longer). Typically speaking, you can access money in your savings account anytime.
You do not need to select just one. You canand most likely shouldinvest for several goals simultaneously, though your approach might require to be different. (More on that listed below.) 2. Pin down your timeline. Next, determine how much time you have to reach your objectives. This is called your investment timeline, and it determines just how much risk (and for that reason the kinds of financial investments) you might be able to handle.
For fairly near-term goals, like a wedding you desire to pay for in the next couple of years, you might want to stick with a more conservative investing strategy. For longer-term objectives, however, like retirement, which might still be years away, you can presume more threat because you’ve got time to recover any losses.
There’s something you can do to reduce that drawback. Enter diversity, or the procedure of varying your investments to manage risk. There are 2 primary methods to diversify your portfolio: Diversifying in between possession classes, like stocks and bonds. Typically, as you grow older (and closer to retirement) or are otherwise nearing completion of your investing timeline, experts recommend shifting your possession allocation toward owning more bonds.
Time is your biggest ally when it pertains to investing. Thanks to compoundingor when the returns on your money create their own returns, and so onthe longer your cash remains in the marketplace, the longer it needs to grow. Invest often. By investing even small amounts routinely gradually, you’re practicing a practice that will help you build wealth throughout your life called dollar-cost averaging.
Make it automated. Automating any repeating job makes it much easier to stick to over the long term. The very same holds real for investing. Whether it’s by immediately contributing a portion of your paycheck to a 401(k) or setting up automatic transfers from your checking account to a brokerage account, automating your financial investments can make it a lot simpler to strike your long-lasting objectives.
When you invest, you’re offering your money the chance to work for you and your future objectives. It’s more complex than direct transferring your paycheck into a cost savings account, however every saver can become a financier. What is investing? Investing is a way to possibly increase the amount of cash you have.
1. Start investing as quickly as you can, The more time your cash needs to work for you, the more chance it’ll have for development. That’s why it is very important to start investing as early as possible. 2. Try to stay invested for as long as you can, When you remain invested and don’t move in and out of the markets, you might generate income on top of the cash you’ve currently earned.
3. Expand your financial investments to manage risk. Putting all your money in one investment is riskyyou might lose cash if that financial investment falls in value. But if you diversify your money across numerous financial investments, you can lower the threat of losing cash. Start early, remain long, One essential investing technique is to start sooner and remain invested longer, even if you start with a smaller sized quantity than you hope to buy the future.
Compounding takes place when revenues from either capital gains or interest are reinvestedgenerating additional earnings gradually. How important is time when it concerns investing? Extremely. We’ll look at an example of a 25-year-old financier. She makes a preliminary financial investment of $10,000 and is able to make an average return of 6% each year.
1But waiting 10 years before beginning to invest, which is something a young investor may do earlier in her working life, can have an influence on just how much money she will have at retirement. Rather of having over $100,000 in savings by age 65, she would have just $57,000 nearly half as much.
1Even if it’s early on in your career and you only have a percentage to invest, it could be worth it. The power of time has possible to work for itselfthe money you do invest (even if it’s just a little) will intensify for as long as you keep it invested – Family And Friend Investing Via Crowdfunding.
However your account would deserve over 3 times thatmore than $147,000. Diversify your financial investments to minimize threat, You generally can’t invest without coming face-to-face with some danger. There are methods to handle danger that can assist you meet your long-lasting goals. The most basic way is through diversity and asset allocation.
One investment may suffer a loss of worth, but those losses can be made up for by gains in others. It can be challenging to diversify when investing strictly in stocksespecially if you’re not beginning out with a lot of capital (Family And Friend Investing Via Crowdfunding). This is where property allotment comes into play. Property allotment includes dividing your financial investment portfolio among various possession categorieslike stocks, bonds, and money.

Investing is a method to set aside cash while you are hectic with life and have that money work for you so that you can completely enjoy the benefits of your labor in the future. Investing is a method to a happier ending. Legendary financier Warren Buffett defines investing as “the procedure of laying out money now to get more cash in the future.” The objective of investing is to put your cash to work in several kinds of investment cars in the hopes of growing your cash over time.
Online Brokers Brokers are either full-service or discount rate. Full-service brokers, as the name implies, offer the full series of traditional brokerage services, consisting of monetary recommendations for retirement, health care, and everything related to money. They normally just handle higher-net-worth customers, and they can charge significant charges, consisting of a percentage of your transactions, a portion of your properties they manage, and in some cases, a yearly membership fee.
In addition, although there are a variety of discount brokers without any (or extremely low) minimum deposit restrictions, you may be faced with other limitations, and certain fees are charged to accounts that do not have a minimum deposit. This is something an investor need to consider if they want to buy stocks.
Jon Stein and Eli Broverman of Betterment are typically credited as the very first in the space. Their objective was to utilize technology to lower costs for investors and enhance financial investment guidance – Family And Friend Investing Via Crowdfunding. Since Betterment released, other robo-first business have actually been established, and even developed online brokers like Charles Schwab have actually added robo-like advisory services.
Some firms do not need minimum deposits. Others might often reduce expenses, like trading charges and account management charges, if you have a balance above a specific limit. Still, others might use a specific number of commission-free trades for opening an account. Commissions and Charges As economic experts like to state, there ain’t no such thing as a totally free lunch.
Your broker will charge a commission every time you trade stock, either through purchasing or selling. Trading fees range from the low end of $2 per trade however can be as high as $10 for some discount brokers. Some brokers charge no trade commissions at all, however they make up for it in other methods.
Now, think of that you decide to buy the stocks of those five companies with your $1,000. To do this, you will incur $50 in trading costsassuming the charge is $10which is comparable to 5% of your $1,000. If you were to completely invest the $1,000, your account would be minimized to $950 after trading costs.
Must you sell these five stocks, you would as soon as again incur the costs of the trades, which would be another $50. To make the round trip (purchasing and selling) on these five stocks would cost you $100, or 10% of your initial deposit quantity of $1,000 – Family And Friend Investing Via Crowdfunding. If your financial investments do not make enough to cover this, you have actually lost money simply by going into and leaving positions.
Mutual Fund Loads Besides the trading fee to acquire a shared fund, there are other expenses related to this type of financial investment. Mutual funds are professionally managed swimming pools of financier funds that buy a focused way, such as large-cap U.S. stocks. There are lots of fees a financier will sustain when buying shared funds (Family And Friend Investing Via Crowdfunding).
The MER ranges from 0. 05% to 0. 7% yearly and differs depending upon the type of fund. However the greater the MER, the more it affects the fund’s general returns. You may see a number of sales charges called loads when you buy shared funds. Some are front-end loads, however you will also see no-load and back-end load funds.
Take a look at your broker’s list of no-load funds and no-transaction-fee funds if you desire to prevent these additional charges. For the starting investor, mutual fund fees are in fact a benefit compared to the commissions on stocks. The factor for this is that the costs are the very same regardless of the quantity you invest.
The term for this is called dollar-cost averaging (DCA), and it can be a terrific way to begin investing. Diversify and Reduce Threats Diversity is thought about to be the only totally free lunch in investing. In a nutshell, by investing in a series of properties, you decrease the danger of one investment’s performance badly harming the return of your general investment.
As pointed out previously, the expenses of investing in a a great deal of stocks could be damaging to the portfolio. With a $1,000 deposit, it is almost difficult to have a well-diversified portfolio, so understand that you may need to buy a couple of companies (at the most) in the first place.
This is where the major advantage of mutual funds or ETFs comes into focus. Both kinds of securities tend to have a a great deal of stocks and other financial investments within their funds, which makes them more diversified than a single stock. The Bottom Line It is possible to invest if you are simply starting out with a small amount of cash.
You’ll have to do your research to find the minimum deposit requirements and then compare the commissions to other brokers. Possibilities are you won’t have the ability to cost-effectively buy specific stocks and still diversify with a small amount of cash. You will also require to pick the broker with which you want to open an account.

Semantic Field is a term used to describe a group of words, all of which share a similar concept, theme or subject.
This is the study of meaning in language, both in a philosophical and linguistic sense. It considers the association and relationship between words and phrases, and what they combine to mean.
The various feelings, emotions, thoughts or ideas which a specific word invokes.
Hypernym and Hyponym
Hypernym is a term which describes a ‘category’ to which words belong, and as such, normally has a broad meaning. For example, ‘clothing’ ‘colour’ or ‘weather’. A hyponym is the term for a word that is part of a hypernym category. For example, ‘hat’ ‘blue’ or ‘thunder’.
Why use a Semantic Field?
- Explore a theme or atmosphere: A semantic field is a great way to help create an effective theme or atmosphere in literature. Words need to have consistent connotations in order to build realistic scenarios, whether that be an author describing settings and environments, or emotions and thoughts. Words distinctly outside of the semantic field would stick out (although this could be a deliberate choice in some scenarios) and could be less effective.
- Build an emotion: Semantic fields also help to create undertones to pieces of literature. This effectively builds emotion, and provides subtle indications to a reader as to what may be about to happen.
- Shock or surprise: The actual semantic field is unlikely to shock or surprise readers because it has to be built up through the use of multiple words, however a contrast to the chosen field could be effective at helping impart a message or make the piece of work more memorable.
Examples of Semantic Fields
The poem explores the idea of a ‘feeder’ relationship in which the narrator is constantly overfed and puts on a considerable amount of weight. This semantic field of water and oceans helps to emphasise the idea of expanse and depth, showing how overweight the woman has become, and also exploring the water-like cellulite of her body.
shipwreck // beached whale // tidal wave of flesh
Without the semantic field related to Hinduism, the poem would be far less effective because it would not have an authentic appreciation or link to the culture that the narrator and their mother have been experiencing. There are many examples to ensure that this remains a key part of the poem, with references to various shrines, key locations, and traditional practices.
India // monsoon // Shiva // Cobra River
Some further examples of semantic fields are shown below:
Death: grave // bone // decay
The Seaside: waves // beach // ice-cream

A packed U.S. District Courthouse is likely July 2 when a judge decides the fate of famed litigator Richard “Dickie” Scruggs and two others brought down in a scheme to bribe a judge.
They also are likely to hear from witnesses who want Senior Judge Neal Biggers to know why mercy should be granted their loved ones, friends or colleagues.
Although Biggers has the authority to do something else, here is what the prosecution has recommended in the plea agreements:
– Dickie Scruggs – maximum five years in prison, $250,000 fine, three years’ supervised probation.
– Zach Scruggs – probation in lieu of a maximum three years in prison, $250,000 fine.
– Sidney Backstrom – prison term of no more than half of what Dickie Scruggs gets, $250,000 fine, three years’ supervised probation.
When Dickie Scruggs and Backstrom, 38, pleaded guilty in mid-March, Biggers asked for the usual presentencing investigation and report, which offers guidelines for how offenders may be sentenced. Although he said he expected it to take up to six weeks, it took a little longer.
Defense attorneys have until June 11 to comment on the reports, then the government will have another seven days to respond.
According to their indictment, the five men faced 75 years in prison, a maximum $1.5 million in fines and 18 years of supervised probation. At their pleadings, no mention was made of any other financial penalties.
When Balducci and Patterson were the first to plead guilty, they did so agreeing to cooperate with prosecutors with the hope the court would be lenient with them.
Zach Scruggs, 33, was the last to plead guilty. He pleaded to a lesser charge – misprision of a felony, which means he had knowledge of it but didn’t report it.
A source close to the case speculated that so many “hands” have been on the presentencing reports that Biggers likely will have to resolve their disagreements.

A few months ago Rhyan Santos sent over a batch of 268 images for his “Photo Credit” feature. We flipped through the batch and fell in love with the raw, on-the-road-with-your-best-friends vibe he was able to capture in some of our favorite bands. We all strive to shoot similar photos when we leave the comforts of home, but he somehow does it with a youthful quality that most of us wish we could capture. It also helps that his friends are incredibly talented musicians we all know and love. So we ended up giving him a feature in issue 18 to highlight some of the more impressionable moments. Check out the gallery below to see a few of the 268 images and grab the new issue to see what we deemed worthy of the printed page and read below how he got into this.
What Youth: How did you get into photography? What was your introduction to it?
I got into photography through my uncles who do a bunch of wedding and commercial work in the Philippines, they came to the States with a bunch of camera gear and I would use them during their stay. They liked the photos I was taking, and told me I should buy a camera to start shooting. At the time I collected sneakers, so I sold my collection and bought a camera. From there I never stopped shooting, but my style and what I was interested in eventually changed because I started studying photography in college, going to galleries, and being exposed to other artists.
Click on the gallery below for full screen enjoyment:
Where are you from? Are you born and raised in LA?
I was born in historic Filipinotown, but was raised in Norwalk/Artesia where my grandparents relocated.
Do you play any music on your own?
I don’t, but I used to play bass clarinet and alto sax in middle school and was pretty damn good at it.
How did you start working in the music biz? Is that your main job or do you have other jobs?
I started working in music biz by lying to people. My best friend (Abe) and I have this project called Mu$ty BoYz, and at the beginning of the project (2013) Abe and I would go to shows and tell promoters and bands that we did photo and video coverage (for shows & bands), which wasn’t entirely true because we did it for ourselves, but just wanted an excuse to party and hang out with new people. A promoter/dear friend of mine (Alex) was the first one to give us a shot because he believed in the work that we produced, and ended up inviting us to the shows that he would throw, which always ended up being with bands that we wanted to work with. Fast forward a few months later, I started touring as a photographer with Death Lens and The Frights. Other bands would see the photos coming from the tours, so they started to invite me out on the road with them. I was still working retail on Fairfax, and my manager (Jesse, who is also a good friend of mine) requested that I started tour managing the bands I was photographing because he was tired of me leaving all the time. That planted the seed in my head, so I ended up leaving the job to learn how to tour manage bands. It has been a full time gig for me since January 2016, but before that it was a part time gig (I was working 3 other jobs by the end of 2015). When I’m back home in LA, I’ll get commission work for photography or get asked to DJ from time to time.
What bands do you manage and tour with?
So far I have tour managed for The Buttertones, Cherry Glazerr, The Frights, Ian Sweet, LALA LALA, L.A WITCH, Mu$ty BoYz, No Parents, Slow Hollows, and Tashaki Miyaki. In the past (as a photographer) I have been on the road with Santoros, Levitation Room, Psychomagic and Allah Las.

what's remarkable in the Lott affair is how much he has gotten away with over the years. How many readers ever heard about the flap, several years ago, over Mr. Lott's association with the racist Council of Conservative Citizens? The scandal was actually worse than his remarks last week — but it just got buried. And without the indefatigable efforts of Mr. Marshall and a few other Internet writers, Mr. Lott's recent celebration of segregation would probably have been buried as well.I still wonder at what prevents people from mentioning the world "Atrios" (a paranoid fear of anonymous bloggers?) but at least the whole "conservatives broke it while liberals ignored it" thing is nipped in the bud. And it's pretty clear to anybody in the know exactly who "a few other Internet writers" refers to.
