Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall backs Exeter Together fuel bill saving campaign
People only have a few days left to take advantage of Exeter's energy-switching scheme Exeter Together and make savings on their energy bills.
The scheme closes at midnight on Sunday, March 17.
Launched by Exeter City Council, Exeter Together is helping people from Exeter and surrounding areas save an average of £220 on their fuel bills by joining the innovative collective switching scheme.
The campaign has gained support from the likes of Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall and Ben Bradshaw MP, as well as leading regional businesses including the Met Office and Source for Business, both of which have encouraged employees to find out more about the campaign and how they could save money.

Thousands of switches are predicted during the final days and Exeter City Council is urging those thinking about switching to 'act now, before it is too late!'
Councillor Rachel Sutton, Lead Councillor for Sustainable Development and Transport, said: "The 17 March date is non-moveable and it is the last day for people to sign-up to Exeter Together to make potential savings on their home energy bills. Everyone has the right to switch energy suppliers, but unfortunately not enough people do this, for many reasons such as not knowing how to go about it, or thinking it will take too much time.
"Latest statistics show that around 50 per cent of the UK's population do not switch, which is a shame given that energy bills signify one of the biggest household expenses.
"Although average savings equate to around £220 per household, one person has saved over £800 through the Exeter Together scheme, and when you think it only takes around five minutes to register, it is not a bad time investment!"
The straightforward registration process consists of people calling or logging onto the website with their utility bill to hand, and going through the step-by-step process.
"People are under no obligation to switch and it is clearly explained whether the end user is better to stay with their current provider, or whether they will benefit from switching to the Exeter Together scheme. People will instantly receive a collectively purchased energy offer," added Cllr Sutton.
Exeter Together has also put together a short video, viewable from its website, www.exetertogether.com, and in this Cllr Rachel Sutton explains a bit more about the campaign and the registration options available for people to see whether they could save on their energy bills.
Further help is at hand for older people requiring assistance with registration, who can contact Age UK Exeter (01392 202092) to make an appointment to see an adviser at the charity's centre in Cowick Street, Exeter. Alternatively, people can also visit the Citizens Advice Bureau (CAB) on King William Street, Exeter, each weekday afternoon (except Wednesday) between 1pm-3pm where help is on offer for people who might need additional assistance using the Exeter Together website.
People are advised to bring their latest fuel bill so that staff can help people make the comparison and the CAB will also be helping clients who book advice appointments to understand the scheme and the financial benefits it may bring them.
The Exeter Together team will also be in Bedford Square, Exeter, on Saturday 16 March and 'Switch', a fully interactive robot, will be joining them. 'Switch' promises to entertain the crowds by singing and dancing and the Exeter Together team state the robots rendition of 'The Final Countdown' by Europe is sure to be on the playlist.
The Exeter Together team will be handing out leaflets and answering questions and Exeter City Council is urging anyone interested to pop along and speak to one of the knowledgeable team.
Ben Bradshaw MP joined the Exeter Together team on one of the days it took its tour bus on a week-long roadshow around the city. He comments: "It was great to meet so many people interested in the scheme. Exeter Together could potentially help so many local people save money off their utility bills and I would urge everyone to log on to the site or call the free phone number to see whether they could benefit from the collective switching scheme.
"It is really important people spread the word and encourage friends and family members to register, as the window to switch will be closing at midnight on 17 March."
Although called Exeter Together, switching is available to everyone in Devon and further afield, and campaigners are urging anyone who has not looked at their utility bills for a while to see whether they could save through the scheme.
To get involved visit www.exetertogether.com with a copy of your energy bill, register your details and instantly receive a collectively purchased energy offer from Exeter Together.
The deadline to switch closes at midnight on Sunday 17 March. You can also call free on 0800 542 0204 or 0207 911 6479 from a mobile. Free help is also available at Exeter Civic Centre during weekdays, until the switch window closes.

I’ve been predominantly on vacation while simultaneously preparing for some new things at Buffalo Sports Daily over the final week of 2012, so you’ll have to exonerate me for not being more up to date with the all the big things going on at One Bills Drive.
Rather than regurgitate Buffalo Bills news you already know, allow me to indulge some insight and opinion on the sweeping changes in Orchard Park this week.
Chan Gailey out as head coach: I’m positively not surprised at the firing, but will confess to being shocked it happened so swiftly. Historically even when Ralph Wilson drops the hammer, it doesn’t come the day after the season ends. He meets with his staff at his home in Detroit before furnishing an outcome. So to learn by late Monday morning Gailey was out caught some—or at least me off guard.
It shouldn’t have. I’ve since learned the decision to fire Gailey (as well as the entire coaching staff) was sealed shortly after the Bills lifeless loss at Miami in Week 16. From what I hear, Wilson was utterly ashamed of his team following an effort that looked like the team had no real interest in competing. More than any other team, Wilson hates losing to Miami and it clearly didn’t sit well with him.
Anyway, neither Gailey nor any of his players were told about the decision last week because the front office desperately wanted to end the season with a win over the Jets, and having an interim guy for the final week could’ve become a distraction.
Gailey ends his tenure here as one of the least successful head coaches in franchise history. Gailey won exactly one-third of his games here, going 16-32 and was only 4-14 in divisional games. As head coach, Gailey’s defenses allowed the second (435) third (434) and fourth (425) most points in franchise history in all three of his years. Only the 1984 Bills allowed more than the team did this year—454.
Simply put, Gailey wasn’t making progress in the win/loss column and change was necessary. Gailey came to Buffalo in 2010 with very little talent on the roster, but that wasn’t an excuse in 2012. The Bills spent considerably during the offseason on retaining their key free agents as well as landing Mario Williams and Mark Anderson. They also had another top ten draft pick. As a whole the team underachieved and when that happens, it’s usually a reflection on the head coach.
To Gailey’s credit he handled the dismissal with plenty of class. Gailey insisted on speaking with the media upon learning of his firing, and used it to make a 90 second statement thanking the team and their fans, and said that it was the first job he’s ever been fired from where he’ll still be pulling for said team.
Classy guy… not a good enough head coach. I’d like to see him land a coordinator job somewhere as no coach wants to exit the league permanently in this manner.
Brandon Seizes Control: This was quite the bombshell. A Tuesday press conference revealed that CEO Russ Brandon was promoted and given title of team president, essentially meaning he’s inherited the team from Ralph Wilson. Wilson is still owner, of course, but Brandon will now run the team and have final say in all football decisions. Whoa.
With the move, you can now regard the Bills management as younger and if things go the way Brandon hopes, more innovative. Brandon stated during his presser that the team will build “a robust department of analytics” that’s completely focused on the statistical analysis of the sport, much like the Oakland A’s are doing in the sport of baseball.
I’m not sure how I feel about this, at least not yet. I’m thrilled Wilson has finally stepped down from being the judge and jury on football decisions, but Brandon’s strength has always been in marketing. If Wilson was ready to step down, I’d have strongly preferred Jim Kelly inherited this role, much like John Elway has in Denver with Brandon keeping his post.
There’s no question this move was a momentous show of trust by Wilson in Brandon, who sounds like a man ready to get aggressive.
Buddy Nix Stays… For Now: For the time being Buddy Nix is staying on as general manager, and the team will soon transition the role to Doug Whaley. This changeover very well could end up happening after this April’s NFL draft.
While Nix didn’t give a timeline when speaking with the media Tuesday, he did acknowledge this has been his plan all along. For the most part Nix has done a pretty good job building the roster though free agency and the draft. Mario Williams didn’t have a huge year despite his mammoth contract but was a factor and figures to be a bigger one going forward. Both sides of the line look solid going forward, and there’s enough talent to win at most the other positions.
He’s drafted three first-round keepers during his three years here in C.J. Spiller, Marcell Dareus and Stephon Gilmore.
Of course, not everything Nix has done as GM has benefited the team. Most conspicuous was his awful overvaluing of quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick. Nix jumped the gun on getting Fitzpatrick a large extension in 2011, and thought enough of him as the long-term starter to make a few critical mistakes in the past two drafts, including the passing over of Andy Dalton, Colin Kaepernick and Russell Wilson beyond the first round in favor of Aaron Williams and T.J. Graham. Unfortunately he’ll always also be known as the guy who drafted Torell Troup one spot ahead of hometown kid Rob Gronkowski.
By firing Gailey, retaining Nix and soon transitioning to Whaley, the Bills are replacing coaches without blowing up the entire team. Brandon is thoroughly convinced Nix’s direction is the right one to take, and they can keep their “continuity” by operating in this manner.
Coaching Candidates Emerge: It’s been less than 48 hours since Gailey was fired, but a lead candidate is already emerging. Brandon, Nix, Whaley and Jim Overdorf were in Arizona Tuesday evening dining with former Cardinals head coach Ken Whisenhunt. They’ll interview him Wednesday as well as former Cardinals defensive coordinator Ray Horton. Both were fired Monday.
I’m confident I speak for many when saying Whisenhunt is a move I hope Brandon doesn’t pull the trigger on. Whisenhunt had a winning record just two of his six seasons in Arizona and an overall mark of 45-51. He did get Arizona to the Super Bowl in 2008, but in the three years since Kurt Warner retired the Cardinals were a mess. They won just two more games than the Bills over the last three years and under Whisenhunt’s tenure and the quarterbacking situation has been worse than Buffalo’s recently.
Arizona has finished 31st, 24th and 26th in the league in points scored over the last three years post-Warner.
To me the hiring of Whisenhunt reeks of moving laterally instead of forward and feels too much like a Gailey or Dick Jauron move. No thanks.
Just because the Bills are meeting with Whisenhunt first doesn’t mean it will, or should be their last in the process. A writer buddy of mine, Charles Roberts told me best, saying “Well, hopefully Brandon is planning more than one dinner date. Can’t get married after just one meal. Sleep around, Russ.”
Well said. There are other candidates the Bills are rumored to be interested in, including college coaches Chip Kelly of Oregon and Syracuse’s Doug Marrone.
Former Chicago Bears Lovie Smith has also reportedly said he’d be a good fit for the Bills.
Hot possible coordinator candidates include San Francisco offensive coordinator Greg Roman, Washington offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan as well as Cincinnati coordinators Jay Gruden and Mike Zimmer. All are in the midst of playoff runs with their respective teams and none have been reported as tied to the Buffalo job.
Ultimately, I’m confident the Bills will end up hiring someone with head coaching experience, whether college or the NFL. Like most I’d love to see Chip Kelly be that guy, but don’t think it will happen. I’d much prefer Smith over Whisenhunt, especially considering the defensive talent already in place for Buffalo. But at the end of the day, I want whatever coach will do the most to develop the next great quarterback, because now more than ever this is truly a quarterback-driven league.

I built this bike for my good friend Tony Hundahl. Tony owns Rock of Ages tattoo shop here in Austin, Texas. I’ve always admired Tony’s work, and it was an honor to put together this Evo chopper for him. Taking on this build was a little different for us, as we tend to specialize in earlier-style bikes (Knuckles, Pans, and Shovels), but I viewed it as a challenge to take our style and add more functionality to it. I didn’t want to try to make it look like a ’60s chopper, so I had to think a little outside of my normal box. It became heavily inspired by club bikes of the ’80s with the dual disc Wide Glide and stance.
We built this bike from the ground up. The first move was sourcing a motor, and thanks to Dan Carr at DC Choppers, we didn’t have to go far. Dan put together a solid 80-inch Evo motor for us with an EV 27 cam in it. We wanted the bike to be reliable and a daily rider so saw no need to go big on the displacement.
I did all the fab work and assembled the bike with the help of my one employee, Ryan Craft. We had our buddy Packrat (formerly of Bud’s Motorcycles) from Black Cat Metal Works build us an 18-inch rear wheel for the back of the bike, and we narrowed the Stingray fender to fit the radius. This gave the bike a very skinny and narrow look overall, balancing out the beefiness of the 8-inch-over Wide Glide front end.
I turned to Scott at Chemical Candy Customs to handle the paintwork, a classic black base and white flames, with runes on the oil tank. Scott has been integral to our builds at Jackson’s Choppers and always comes through.
We fabbed up the Cobra-style seat pan and had Cato’s Custom Upholstery cover it in a diamond stitch.

About the CMSA
Our purpose is to promote and support the art of classical mandolin playing in North America. CMSA efforts include education and resources to support existing and new orchestras. We provide grants for teaching and promotion, materials and instruments. We also offer scholarships to allow students to attend our annual convention.
This non-profit society was formed in 1986 by Norman Levine, a businessman, publisher and philanthropist who has been called “the financial and spiritual impresario of the mandolin world.” Norman saw mandolin organizations in Europe and had the vision of a similar North American community of mandolinists. Since the CMSA was formed, interest in classical mandolin has surged and new mandolin orchestras have been formed in Atlanta, Louisville, Minneapolis, Nashville, Dayton and Montreal.
The CMSA has over 400 members representing most U.S. states and Canadian provinces and several other countries. Our members include mandolinists, guitarists, mandola and mandocello players, conductors, teachers and composers. Members have a variety of backgrounds from bluegrass to jazz to classical. Playing ability ranges from beginners to professionals. Interest in the mandolin continues to grow as more people are attracted to the beauty of its sound and discover the joy of making music with other people.
Playing Classical Mandolin
The mandolin is the high soprano voice of the mandolin family of instruments. The family includes the mandola, octave mandolin, mandocello, and mandobass.
The mandolin evolved from the lute in Italy during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries and has a long and rich history. It became a popular instrument among European aristocracy in the eighteenth century. Many celebrated composers, such as Beethoven, Hummel, Mozart, and Vivaldi, wrote original works for the mandolin.
The late nineteenth century to early twentieth century is known as the “golden era” of mandolin. This era gave us great mandolin virtuosi and composers such as Raffaele Calace, Carlo Munier, Giuseppe Pettine, Sam Siegel, Valentine Abt, and many others too numerous to list. A vast body of musical literature for mandolin solo and ensemble was created in this era and is still played to this day. During the mandolin craze, almost every town in America offered a mandolin orchestra.
In the USA, it was near the turn of the twentieth century that mandolins started to morph from the traditional bowl-back shape (still common in many parts of Europe) to the flat-back and arch-top shapes that many North Americans are familiar with today. Orville Gibson and later the Gibson Company invented and produced the familiar arch-top “A” and “F” models that now dominate the American mandolin market.
As musical tastes shifted in America, classical mandolin fell into great decline during the twentieth century. Most mandolin orchestras disbanded and mandolin became known largely as a folk and bluegrass instrument.
In 1986 the Classical Mandolin Society of America was formed by Norman Levine to help preserve and revive the classical mandolin tradition. Since the formation of the CMSA, many mandolin orchestras and ensembles have started throughout the U.S. The CMSA has helped mandolinists interested in the classical tradition connect with each other and share music, ideas, and support. The CMSA has also been instrumental in bringing world-renowned mandolin virtuosi to the U.S. to perform and teach.
A mandolin orchestra is an ensemble of plucked string instruments similar in structure to the string sections of a symphony orchestra. There are sections for first and second mandolins, mandolas, mandocelli, classical guitars, and basses (originally mandobasses but now more likely to be double basses).
Most mandolin orchestras are community-based and are supported by a core of professional musicians and teachers with a passion for plucked string instruments and music. These groups are found in nearly all major cities in the western world, as well as Japan, Korea, and South America. Mandolin orchestras were very popular in the early 20th Century and every city and town and many schools had one.

If you’re asking if there will be load shedding on Christmas and New Year’s day, the answer is most likely. Eskom in its 52-week…
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange is on the offensive again, blasting China as the “technological enemy” of his whistleblower website due to its aggressive internet censorship, in comments published on Thursday.
Assange has enraged the United States with his site’s release of leaked diplomatic cables, and lawyers for the Australian believe efforts are under way to send him to the US where they claim he could face the death penalty.
But China, with its vast internet censorship system know as the “Great Firewall of China,” is the site’s most feared foe in cyberspace, the 39-year-old told Britain’s New Statesman magazine.
“China is the worst offender” when it comes to censorship, said Assange, who is on bail in Britain fighting attempts to extradite him to Sweden over claims of sexual assault.
“China has aggressive and sophisticated interception technology that places itself between every reader inside China and every information source outside China.”
“We’ve been fighting a running battle to make sure we can get information through, and there are now all sorts of ways Chinese readers can get on to our site.”
China’s system of censorship is designed to filter out any information deemed sensitive or politically harmful by the country’s Communist government.
Social networking site Facebook, video-sharing giant YouTube and microblogging site Twitter are all among those blocked by Chinese censors.
In the interview Thursday, conducted by veteran journalist John Pilger, a prominent supporter of the Australian hacker, Assange also claimed he had files on media mogul Rupert Murdoch.
“If something happens to me or to WikiLeaks, ‘insurance’ files will be released,” Assange was cited as saying.
“There are 504 US embassy cables on one broadcasting organisation and there are cables on Murdoch and News Corp,” without going into more detail on what they contained.
Assange insists that attempts to extradite him to Sweden over allegations of sexual assault by two women are politically motivated and linked to WikiLeaks’ activities.
He appeared briefly in a London court on Tuesday where a judge ruled that Sweden’s bid to extradite him would be heard in full on February 7-8.
The hacker has been living at the country estate of a friend in eastern England since being released on bail on December 16, nine days after his arrest by British police on a Swedish warrant.
His defence team has argued that if he is sent to Sweden he could then face extradition or illegal rendition to the US and there was a “real risk” he could face the death penalty.
Assange’s British lawyer Mark Stephens accused Swedish authorities of secretly planning to extradite him to the US, in an interview with German newspaper Die Zeit on Thursday. Sweden’s justice ministry denied the claim.
A US court has reportedly subpoenaed the Twitter accounts of four WikiLeaks supporters as part of a criminal investigation into the leaks. US Vice President Joe Biden has described Assange as a “hi-tech terrorist.”
The whistleblower website has also released classified documents about the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
US soldier Bradley Manning is in military custody in the United States awaiting trial for having allegedly obtained and leaked the cables.
Assange said Thursday that he thought the US was trying to use Manning to build a case against him, but denied ever having heard of him before his name appeared in media reports.
“Cracking Bradley Manning is the first step,” he continued. “The aim clearly is to break him and force a confession that he somehow conspired with me to harm the national security of the United States.” – AFP

It’s time for Blacks to pull the trigger on politics
JEFFREY L. BONEY | 7/8/2018, 12:54 a.m.
(NNPA) – How often do we hear messages about the amount of money Black people spend every year as consumers? In a recent report by Nielsen titled, “Black Dollars Matter: The Sales Impact of Black Consumers,” the message was once again highlighted: While African Americans make up just 14 percent of the population, they are responsible for some $1.2 trillion in purchases annually.
It is no secret that a significant amount of money flows through the hands of Black people annually, but what does that mean if Black people aren’t using their collective financial strength to change their overall situation in this country, or better yet, control their own destiny?
According to a recent report by the Center for American Progress titled “Systematic Inequality: How America’s Structural Racism Helped Create the Black-White Wealth Gap,” African Americans have about a tenth of the wealth of White Americans. The report found that in 2016, the median wealth for Blacks was $17,600, compared to the median wealth of Whites being $171,000. The report also found that even when Black people take progressive steps, such as pursuing higher education, purchasing a home, or getting a good job or a better job, they are still falling way behind their White counterparts. The report found that the wealth gap between Black and White families in America is inextricably linked to America’s history of structural racism, and it came to the conclusion that this gap is getting even worse.
Now, while the statistics and information in this report are alarming, there are some things that Black people can focus on to make things better and improve their overall situation. One of the most encouraging parts of the report is that it emphasized the importance of having a focused approach on introducing targeted and necessary legislative policies, that if implemented, could ensure that Black families are able to build the same wealth as White families in America.
The report also stated that improved access to higher education alone, while important, will not be enough to create equal opportunity in terms of wealth-building for all, but that broad and persistent policy attention to wealth creation can address this glaring inequity between Blacks and Whites in this country.
The importance of Black people using their collective financial strength to influence politics, while ensuring that necessary legislative policies are passed and implemented, is more important in 2018 than it has ever been. However, Blacks must understand the power they truly possess, as well as the opportunity they have to make a difference in 2018 and beyond.
In The Godfather Part III, which is the third installment of the classic trilogy, there was a powerful scene in it that every Black person should pay close attention to, in which young Vincent Mancini-Corleone, played by actor Andy Garcia, becomes the mentee of aging mafia Don Michael Corleone, played by veteran screen legend and Academy Award winner Al Pacino.
In that scene, Mancini-Corleone, who is unfamiliar with politics, has a powerful exchange with an Italian mafia kingpin name Don Lucchesi, played by Italian actor Enzo Robutti, about politics and money. The exchange goes:

A documentary by Barbara den Uyl
Two generations of Moroccan female vocalists meet in a masterclass in Amsterdam. The first generation is represented by Najat Aatabou, a famous star throughout the Arab world and a strikingly emancipated woman. The second generation is represented by four Dutch singers of Moroccan origins. They are young and talented, but all of them have problems gaining recognition and with their own identity. In the first instance, the confrontation with Najat Aatabou only seems to increase their struggle; yet this initial encounter is followed by a liberating happy ending.
Najat Aatabou ran away from home so she could become a singer. How far is her life story repeated among young Moroccan/Dutch vocalists? How difficult is it to live between two cultures? Does music help encourage emancipation? In this swinging film, the film maker seeks answers to these questions.
This film is available on DVD

LAS VEGAS - December 23, 2009 - Bobby Hauck, the winningest coach in NCAA's Football Championship Subdivision (FCS), has been hired as the 10th head coach in Rebel football history, UNLV Director of Athletics Jim Livengood announced Wednesday.
Hauck (pronounced HOWK) has spent the last seven seasons as the record-setting head coach of the University of Montana where he compiled an overall record of 80-17, including leading the Grizzlies to three national championship games in Division I FCS formerly I-AA). The winningest coach in Big Sky Conference history, Hauck earned at least a share of the league's title all seven years at Montana en route to compiling a record of 47-6. The recent numbers are even more impressive as his records in the last four seasons are 51-6 overall and 31-1 in conference play.
"Bobby brings a tremendous record of success to UNLV, and we are pleased to welcome him to the University," said UNLV President Neal Smatresk. "He has the skill and drive to revitalize our football program and deliver a new level of excitement to Rebel Football."
Hauck, 45, was named Big Sky Coach of the Year in 2006, 2007 and 2009 and AFCA Regional FCS Coach of the Year in 2006 and 2009.
"It's my belief that Bobby Hauck is one of the great young coaches in America today," Livengood said. "His ability to direct a program, his history of success in recruiting and his love for the game of football clearly project him as having an exciting future here at UNLV."
Hauck is not the first UNLV football head coach to be hired from out of the Big Sky Conference. Tony Knap came to Las Vegas from Boise State University and won more games for the Rebels (47-20-2) than any coach in school history during his career from 1976-81.
Hauck, a veteran of eight bowl games, also brings tremendous experience from stints coaching in both the Pacific-10 and Big 12 conferences.
"I'm excited to be here and believe UNLV is a tremendous opportunity for me and my family," Hauck said. "A special thanks to Neal Smatresk and Jim Livengood as well as all of the people who helped lead us to this moment. We're looking forward to building on the foundation put in place here by Mike Sanford and our first order of business is to get excitement building on our team and within the community."
Hauck was the youngest head coach in modern Montana history when he was named to the post in 2002, and record-setting success soon followed as he compiled four more conference championships than anyone in Grizzly history. His 2009 team finished 14-1 and reached the FCS Championship game for the second consecutive season.
Previous to taking over his alma mater, he spent four years at the University of Washington (1999-2002) where he coached defensive backs and special teams and was considered one of the top recruiters in college football. Before that he was at the University of Colorado for four seasons (1995-98) where he was the special teams and recruiting coordinator while also coaching the safeties.
Before joining the Buffaloes, Hauck coached the outside linebackers and handled recruiting duties for Northern Arizona University (1993-94). He served as a graduate assistant at UCLA in 1990-91 and in 1992 served as the Bruins' on-campus recruiting coordinator.
Hauck began his collegiate coaching career as a volunteer assistant for Montana in 1988-89, working with the secondary and then the inside linebackers. A native of the Treasure State, Hauk was a three-sport star at Sweet Grass High School in Big Timber, Mont., and went on to twice letter in track and field at the University of Montana. His first coaching position was in 1987 as an assistant at his prep alma mater before joining the college ranks.
Hauck, born on June 14, 1964, earned his bachelor's degree from Montana in 1987 and master's from UCLA in 1991. He and his wife, Stacey, have four children: daughters Sydney, Alexandra and Elise and son Robby. His father, Robert Hauck Sr., coached high school football in the state of Montana for three decades and his brother, Tim Hauck, played 13 seasons as a defensive back in the NFL and is currently an assistant coach with the Tennessee Titans.

Last month, the British prime minister was the only one of the 27 EU leaders to not sign up for a new set of regulations that had been designed to prevent a repeat of the current eurozone debt crisis by aligning the economies of member states more closely.
Mr Cameron rejected this treaty on the basis that it would not have been in the best interests of the UK and, during an interview with CNN at the World Economic Forum in Davos, he has said nothing has changed his opinion since this decision.
"We asked for safeguards, we asked for conditions particularly around the single market and financial services ... we haven't got those safeguards, so they can't have a treaty inside the EU," the leader stated.
Recently, Germany and France also called for changes to be made to global banking capital regulations.

Hardin County 48, Bearden 39: Lady Tigers win first state tournament game since 1988
MURFREESBORO — Sparked by a 3-pointer from senior Kimme Callahan at the end of the third quarter, Hardin County outlasted Class AAA tournament favorite Bearden with a 48-39 victory in the girls basketball state quarterfinals on Thursday.
PLAYERS TO WATCH: Girls basketball players to watch in 2021 state tournament
Hardin County, which wasn't ranked in the final Tennessee Associated Press poll, advanced to the semifinals for the first time since 1988, when the Lady Tigers beat Beech before losing to Shelbyville.
Hardin County (21-2) will play Lebanon in the Class AAA semifinals Friday at 7 p.m. at Murphy Center. Bearden ends its season at 30-2.
Hardin County's Skyler Gill, a North Alabama signee, dominated on the defensive end with 15 rebounds (13 defensive) and six blocks, while adding four points and five assists.
Bearden made the game tight in the third quarter, but Callahan's 3-pointer at the end of the third quarter put the Lady Tigers up six points (29-23).
Reese Harville led Hardin County with 14 points, and Callahan added 13 and Haley Hallett scored 11.
But it was the Lady Tigers' defense that held a Bearden team that was averaging 58.9 points per game to 20 points under their average.
Bearden was led by Jennifer Sullivan with 11 points, and Avery Treadwell added eight points and 15 rebounds.

Christopher Stanley in Modern Healthcare
Academic medical centers are penalized more under the CMS' various value-based purchasing programs than community hospitals, according to a new report
The study, published Wednesday by the consultancy Navigant, found 24% of academic medical centers received penalties for their performance on three of the CMS' value-based payment programs in fiscal 2018, while 13.7% of community hospitals received the same number of penalties.
Additionally, 9.4% of community hospitals didn't receive a penalty on any of the CMS programs, while just 1.7% of academic medical centers weren't penalized. The three programs referred to are the Hospital-Acquired Condition Reduction Program, the Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program, and the Hospital Value-Based Purchasing Program.
The stakes are high for academic medical centers to do well in value-based purchasing programs as the movement toward value continues, said Dr. Christopher Stanley, co-author of the study and director in Navigant's Healthcare practice. Although academic medical centers provide vital tertiary care unmatched by community hospitals, Navigant found that as much as 90% of their admissions and procedures can be performed at community hospitals. Their ability to compete in the healthcare marketplace will likely depend in some part on their ability to perform as well as their community hospital peers on outcomes and costs.
"I think it raises the stakes — it broadens the competitor pool and academic medical centers have to figure out how to have an operating cost structure where they can compete," Stanley said.
The study broke down how academic medical centers and community hospitals perform on the three CMS programs. Academic medical centers overall showed improvement in the programs, but still lagged behind community hospitals. For instance, the study found overall weighted quality scores for academic medical centers on the three CMS programs increased significantly from 42.2 in 2016 to 46.6 in 2018, but still had lower scores than community hospitals, which had an overall weighted score of 47.9 in 2018.

The prostate is present in both male and female mammals. It is composed of secretory epithelium, connective stroma, smooth muscle and neuroendocrine cells, which are under hormonal regulation. Acid phosphatases catalyze the hydrolysis of orthophosphate monoesters. We have compared the expression of acid phosphatases in gerbil (Meriones unguiculatus) prostate glands in both sexes using young, adult and old animals. Eighteen prostates were isolated, frozen, sectioned, fixed, incubated with sodium β-glycerophosphate sodium, washed with acetate buffer solution, treated with ammonium sulfide and counterstained with Methyl-Green aqueous solution. Ultracytochemical analyses were also conducted. This substrate revealed total acid phosphatase activity. The expression of the enzyme was heterogeneous, occurring in all ages during postnatal development. The data revealed that the female prostate matured before the male prostate. In addition, acid phosphatase activity in both sexes was regulated by androgen variation concomitant with development.
Key words: Female prostate, Male prostate, Gerbil, Enzyme cytochemistry, Acid phosphatase.

Hezbollah Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah said on Friday that Israel is afraid of and unprepared for another war with his group.
“Israel is scared of a new war,” he said in a televised speech dedicated to the 30th anniversary of the Islamic Resistance Support Association, Hezbollah’s fund-raising organisation.
“Every day you hear that Israel is not prepared for war in one way or another, and this week you saw Israel began using the American THAAD system. They don’t even trust the missile defence systems they developed themselves,” Sayyed Nasrallah added.
It emerged on Monday that the United States deployed a Terminal High Altitude Area Defence (THAAD) anti-ballistic missile battery in Israel. The THAAD system, considered one of the most advanced in the world, will be aligned with Israeli air defences.
Israeli regime PM Netanyahu said that this move would make the Israeli military “even stronger in order to deal with near and distant threats from throughout the Middle East”.
This deployment means that Israel has doubts about its defence capabilities in case of a new conflict, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah added.
In his Friday speech, Sayyed Nasrallah also pledged that Hezbollah would “emerge victorious” from the “financial war” waged by the United States and its allies.
“As they expected Hezbollah defeat in 2006 and got disappointed, the upcoming days will witness the Resistance victory in this financial war,” he said, as cited by Al-Manar, a Beirut-based TV station affiliated with the group.
Sayyed Nasrallah called on the Islamic Resistance Support Association to boost its efforts, saying that a recent event which sought to raise money for the Yemeni people collected $2 million.
Sayyed Nasrallah also condemned US sanctions on Hezbollah, which in November targeted four people linked with the movement and designated his son a global terrorist and a “rising leader” of the group.

A popular rapper named ‘Dan Sur’, a popular reggaeton artist, has gone viral on social networks after uploading photos and videos to his TikTok account.
The rapper claims to have surgical implanted gold chains into his head – as a replacement to his hair.
According to Dan Sur, the rapper he had hundreds of gold hooks implanted into his scalp. He then purchased dozens of gold chains, and hung them from the hooks, so that it appears that he has gold hair.
And his look appears with hair that looks ‘straight out of a jewelry store’. His mane, composed of a series of golden strands, resembles the ‘goldilocks’ from the popular children’s story.

Suffocating Tumours Could Lead to New Cancer Drugs
News Jul 30, 2013
Cancer Research UK scientists at the University of Southampton found that this molecule targets the master switch – HIF-1 – that cancer cells use to adapt to low oxygen levels, a common feature in the disease.
The researchers uncovered a way to stop cancer cells using this switch through an approach called ‘synthetic biology’. By testing 3.2 million potential compounds, made by specially engineered bacteria, they were able to find a molecule that stopped HIF-1 from working.
All cells need a blood supply to provide them with the oxygen and nutrients they require to survive. Cancer tumours grow rapidly and as the tumour gets bigger it outstrips the supply of oxygen and nutrients that the surrounding blood vessels can deliver.
But, to cope with this low-oxygen environment, HIF-1 acts as a master switch that turns on hundreds of genes, allowing cancer cells to survive. HIF-1 triggers the formation of new blood vessels around tumours, causing more oxygen and nutrients to be delivered to the starving tumour, which in turn allows it to keep growing.
Dr Ali Tavassoli, a Cancer Research UK scientist whose team discovered and developed the compound at the University of Southampton, said: “We’ve found a way to target the steps that cancer cells take to survive and we hope that our research will one day lead to effective drugs that can stop cancers adapting to a low oxygen environment, stopping their growth. The next step is to further develop this molecule to create an effective treatment.”
Dr Julie Sharp, senior science information manager at Cancer Research UK, said: “Finding ways to disrupt the tools that cancer cells use to adapt and grow when starved of oxygen has been a hot topic in cancer research, but finding drugs that do this effectively has proved elusive.
“For the first time our scientists have found a way to block a master switch controlling cells response to low levels of oxygen – an important step towards creating drugs that could halt cancer in its tracks.”

The first utility-scale solar-energy proposal since Hopkinton rewrote the solar-energy ordinance was heard Feb. 6. The defining change in that ordinance rewrite is a very clear discouragement for converting RFR 80 property to allow solar. This proposal, which seeks to do just such a conversion, was before the Planning Board as a pre-application discussion. The applicant produced an existing condition plan but no development plan. Both parties were feeling each other out. It seems a good illustration of the townâ€™s dilemma.
Aside from small solar projects on working farms, revenue-generating solar projects are restricted to manufacturing and commercial zones. No one was thinking about solar parks decades ago when these zones were created. They were designed to attract tax-paying retail, office and manufacturing businesses and jobs to areas where the associated traffic would be acceptable. This is still the goal today. If any of these commercial or manufacturing properties turn out to be the best location for a large solar project, well, that is just a fluke. We already had the opposite with gravel banks nearly 50 years ago. Probably as an afterthought, the town back then must have decided that gravel banks are noisy and have heavy traffic so we will only allow them in manufacturing zones. That almost makes sense. The reason why we donâ€™t have gravel banks in manufacturing zones today is simple. There are no viable sand and gravel deposits in the areas Hopkinton zoned for manufacturing. They are in RFR 80.
The logical way to site new gravel banks is to locate the sand and gravel resources and see if any of these locations can successfully host the noise, traffic and risks to groundwater. Then, if the resource is needed, you change your zoning code to permit this use at appropriate sites. This is also a logical way to deal with utility-scale solar. The solar resource is dearly needed to address the huge problem of climate change. The question should be where are the best sites in Hopkinton to harvest solar energy while preserving natural resources and sparing denser residential neighborhoods? The project before the Planning Board on Feb. 6 may be one of these best sites.
The property is 200 acres with one house. Two neighbors have 250 undeveloped acres each. I-95 and the land trust are neighbors on the other side. The proposed 26-acre solar site is set back a half-mile from the street in an upland area. The nearest house is way the other side of I-95. The owner is willing to strike a deal with the town for such things as a conservation easement on an important wetland resource and to allow a trail crossing. The developer will probably strike a deal that financially benefits the town as well. The Planning Board comments seemed clear that except for the property not being zoned commercial or manufacturing, this is a great location for this project. I hope the town will think this over carefully and encourage owners and developers like this to propose high-quality solar and wind projects at our best available locations.

Unidentified criminals destroyed all bitter gourd plants of a farmer at Kuragachha village in Madhupur upazila early Friday, leaving the poor grower bewildered.
Victim Akter Hossain Kalu said criminals might have destroyed his plants centering previous enmity.
He cultivated highbred varieties of bitter gourd on 32 decimals of land of his brother after taking advance from wholesalers.
"I have been taking care of the plants after planting since Bangla month of Kartik (mid October to mid November) while the yields were looking good," Akter said.
"I have already spent around Tk 30,000 for the cultivation with a hope to sell the vegetable for Tk 1 lakh," he said.
"After waking up from sleep on Friday morning, I found all plants of my bitter gourd field were uprooted," he said.
"Now I am worried, thinking about how to feed my family," Akter questioned.
Akter also said he caned a local youth a few days ago after local people detained him red handed when he was stealing bitter gourd from another farmer of the village.

Despite an exceptional year with huge cost increases for energy, feed, and fertilizer, many agricultural sectors are still holding their own this year. Indeed, in many cases, sales prices of agricultural products have risen enough to compensate for the higher costs. Across the agricultural sector as a whole, volumes are expected to fall by 2 percent this year, but differences between subsectors are high. In greenhouse horticulture, in particular, production has declined. In 2023, a slight drop in demand due to lower purchasing power could put pressure on margins, ABN AMRO concludes in its Agricultural Sector Forecast 2022-2023.
Subsector forecasts: ornamental plant cultivation, greenhouse vegetable cultivation, dairy farming, poultry farming (meat), poultry farming (eggs), pig farming, arable farming
A very sharp contraction (-20 percent) is also in prospect for ornamental plant cultivation in 2023
Ornamental plant cultivation and greenhouse horticulture, for instance, produce much less than in previous years. In ornamental plant cultivation, due to low purchasing power, volumes are likely to fall 10 percent this year and 20 percent in 2023. ABN AMRO stresses that the forecasts are surrounded by many uncertainties. In greenhouse horticulture (-7 percent), many companies have adjusted their cultivation strategy, bringing products to market later. There is then a shortage in winter, while there is a risk of surplus in summer. Costs also remain high for livestock farming in 2023; until now, many operators have been able to compensate with higher prices for products such as eggs and poultry meat. Prices for milk are even historically high. This was due to lower milk supply; production fell by 1 percent in the first half of 2022. In pig farming, high feed, energy, and labor costs put pressure on margins. This sector is struggling more than the other subsectors to maintain adequate returns. Arable farming (+4 percent) performed well, partly due to better-than-expected harvests and favorable prices; according to ABN AMRO, stable development of volumes is on the horizon for 2023.
2023 is an uncertain year due to declining purchasing power
Although performance varies by segment, the agricultural sector managed to hold up well this year. At the same time, costs remain high in 2023, and there will be more pressure on prices, which could make it a challenging year for many farmers. "Due to lower purchasing power, we see many businesses stumbling at the limit of what consumers are willing to pay. Lower demand from key supplier countries and from Dutch consumers could ultimately put pressure on prices throughout the food chain," says Nadia Menkveld, Sector Economist of Agricultural and Food at ABN AMRO. "Although cost increases seem to be past their peak, for many companies, the question is whether they can continue to pass on these costs. Food is, in principle, cyclically insensitive, but purchasing power is under pressure, and consumers will pay more attention to price and base their choice on this on the supermarket shelf. This affects the entire food chain and can put pressure on margins. In horticulture and greenhouse farming, it may be profitable to resell electricity to the grid instead of lighting crops in winter. In pig farming, we see companies that have invested in solar panels, heat exchangers, or other energy-efficient solutions benefiting. In arable farming too, more and more farmers are looking at investing in sustainable solutions, for example, to retain water and irrigate more efficiently."

Installed video monitoring cameras can monitor events in the bus. A video monitoring system can not only improve the perceived safety for the bus driver and passengers, it can also deter hooligans committing acts of vandalism in the vehicle and record acts of violence.
The data is transmitted to the monitor in the bus driver's workstation. The bus driver can then better view and evaluate events occurring in the passenger compartment and, if needs be, react in the event of danger.
The vehicle is labelled with pictograms to inform passengers that the vehicle is video-monitored. Together with the video monitoring, they increase the perceived safety for your driver and the passengers and thereby enhance the attractiveness of public transport. The video monitoring system is optional equipment.
For more information on the operation of the video monitoring and data storage, contact our bus sales advisor.

Bastille Day Dinner Extravagance
Wow we were blown away by this unquestionably awesome dinner worthy of a Michelin star: fried oysters pork belly veal sweetbreads beef short ribs and peach tart tatin each course accompanied by a craft cocktail 🍹
Although this was a one...off menu, the chef knows how to cook!More
The food was good but the service really very very poor. Silverware missing on the table , no cooler for the wine and the wait to get the order much too long. No one asking if we were needing something at any time. I was...asking if I could have the steak tartare as a main menu instead of an appetizer I would have paid the difference but the answer was NO. When you pretend to be a 4 stars restaurant that is not what you expect Also so noisy like a hen house even with a 50pc capacity. Will be our first and last time there.More
The wait staff were so wonderful and hard working. In the past the chef was expert. Today the ingredients were as expected, the only exception was the "strip steak" which actually was a shoulder steak only a quarter inch thick, full of gristle and fat....The salad was on a heated plate and put under a salamander. Inexcusable. The sauce was not au poivre. It was closer to beef gravy. The short ribs and fingerling potatoes were so over cooked that the potatoes were softer than mashed and the rib meat dry and tough. It was poorly prepared without attention to detail. I can excuse skimping on ingredients, but not an inept chef at those prices.More
I can’t really complain as the food I was served was indeed excellent. The menu was severely shortened most likely due to COVID. The prix fixe menu was essentially the full menu and helped with the sting of lack of variety. Short ribs with the...polenta base were indeed excellent.More
There are other French bistros in the DMV who strive for authenticity in every detail, Brabo focuses on exceptional food creations in a more modern/less traditional setting.
The food was excellent in the way you expect the French experience to be. I had a Sea...Bass in a brown butter sauce with perfectly cooked hen of the woods mushrooms and a gratin and enough sauce for the plate. My wife had mussels which was the most serving of mussels I've ever seen and tasty fries with 3 sauces to dip into. My friend had the bacon wrapped monkfish and said it was wonderfully cooked and seasoned. My other friend had the French burger and this was the only downer. It was supposed to be medium rare and was closer to well done. We sent it back and got almost the same cook on a new burger. You can get better burgers at better places in the DMV obviously and ultimately my friend wasn't too upset about it. (Note that the table next to us got steaks and those looked perfectly cooked from my nosy perspective)
Service runs at a slow pace here but everyone is very friendly. That did not bother our party who were there to hang out and converse for a few hours. If you are in a rush, go to the bar instead.
Decor is nice but the lighting was too bright for my taste. Some tables are also close together and there isn't a lot of noise which means everyone can hear everyone else's conversation. That said, you can carry a conversation here unlike some of the more vibrant noisy bistros around.
I'll definitely head back because the food was why I came and it exceeded my expectations.More
People who love French food or are curious about it should not go to Brabo. This place has good reviews and some very good features that I’ll get to, but first. Lovers of authentic French food should go the La Cote Dore in Fairfax. Great...wine lists, fine food and a very accommodating staff in the dining room and kitchen. I asked for their artichoke heart salad that wasn’t currently on the menu and got it.
None of our food courses arrived all at the same time. The restaurant was not crowded, so that should never happen. I was interested in the Burger because it came with Bayonne ham that I think is the best. I asked for the hamburger medium-rare, but it came to me medium-well.
When I sent it back, the server took it away cheerfully, but it came back a little ¬more over-cooked. It was still a little juicy, and my three friends were half-way through their meals, so I conceded. Last, the red and white wine lists are short, too short for a French dinner or for any good restaurant.
On the plus side the menu contained many inventive dishes that we’ve never seen before: black truffle-marinated burrata (excellent), goat cheese with sugar and a small side of honey-comb, grilled Spanish octopi, and others.
Lovers of authentic French food should go the La Cote D’ore in Fairfax. Great wine lists, fine food and a very accommodating staff in the dining room and kitchen. I asked for their artichoke heart salad that wasn’t currently on the menu and got it.More
So I did go here with a relatively large group, but the restaurant was quite empty the entire time we were there. Ii was hard to put a finger directly on what I found disappointing. Everything just seemed scattered, inconsistent, and not up to snuff...for what I was expecting. The staff was very on top of being aware of food allergies and knowing what was in the various dishes, but then failed to prep one correctly based on the knowledge. I had mussels and added the fries (i standard menu option), but they only brought the sauces for the fries and not the fries having gotten the idea that I only wanted the sauces somehow. The mussels also seemed of inconsistent quality through the dish. The baked Alaska for dessert was quite good on top (and very theatrical), but the alcohol completely soaked the cake at the bottom resulting in it burying the taste and making the cake taste pretty awful. I have to assume that either too much was used, or it wasn't lit fast enough. Overall, everything was just really hit and miss that night.More
We were delighted to get the happy hour menu on a Sunday! The mussels, frites, and burger were all excellent. Kristen, our server was friendly and attentive. The bartender was awesome too, and made us custom drinks!

Working with genetically modified E. coli and separating DNA – it’s all in a summer day’s work for the iGEM team at Gaston Day School.
The group of six are painstakingly preparing for the 2012 International Genetically Engineered Machine (iGEM) synthetic biology competition.
Most weekdays during summer vacation, Steven Allen, Parth Patel, Will Reiber, Samuel DuBois, Gordon Ellison and Audrey Weiss crowd into Anne Byford’s Gaston Day classroom lab, jotting down experiment results and measuring DNA and RNA.
Their goal: To create a kit farmers can use on-site to detect high levels of cadmium in water. Last year, the group developed a kit to detect nitrates.
“We’re hoping to help local citizens in agricultural areas,” said Steven Allen, 16, a rising junior. To test water now, samples are taken and sent to a lab for results. Those results can take weeks to get back, Steven said.
Some of the dangers associated with high levels of nitrates include methemoglobinemia (a blood disorder) and death in humans, and spontaneous abortion in livestock, Byford said. Cadmium consumption can lead to stomach irritation and kidney damage in humans, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
Gaston Day’s 2012 competition kit uses a fluorescent protein that turns green if cadmium is detected.
“This is the real world,” Byford said. “They are dealing with common experimental errors ... and have to be consistently accurate.”
This isn’t the school’s first run in the competition. The team is actually building on years of research. Gaston Day’s team was the first high school team to compete in the collegiate competition in 2009. In 2011, iGEM expanded to include a high school division, yet Gaston Day remained in the college portion, going up against teams from MIT, Harvard, Cornell and Duke.
In 2011, 165 teams from around the world competed. The Gaston Day team won a silver award, along with 24 other teams, for its nitrate detector, and won the safety commendation for the Americas division.
“We spend a lot of time preparing for this competition,” said Will, 16, a rising sophomore.
For iGEM, at the beginning of the summer, all student teams get a physical kit of biological parts from the Registry of Standard Biological Parts.
The registry is a bank of genetic parts that can be mixed and matched to create synthetic biology devices and systems. The MIT-based registry, created in 2003, aims to make biology easier to engineer for the use of iGEM teams and academic labs. Teams then use the parts and new parts of their own design to build biological systems and operate them in living cells.
Over the years, iGem projects have ranged from banana- and wintergreen-scented bacteria (just because the students could create them); to an arsenic biosensor to help detect arsenic in water; to BactoBlood, a cost-effective red blood cell substitute created from engineered E. coli bacteria.
Why do they do it? “It’s the fact that we are manipulating something we can’t see,” said Steven, a second-time iGEM competitor.
Next up for the team is a competition called the North America East Regional Jamboree, in October in Pittsburgh. If they win, they advance to the World Championship Jamboree in November. More information: igem.org.

One of my all-time favourite foods is chicken fingers. There is something just so deliciously perfect about them. Slight crunch, a little salty, and yummy AF.
Chicken fingers aren’t usually synonymous with healthy food. Obviously, I had to make up a version that was. How else could I go on with my life if I didn’t?
This is the question I get asked most often. If the whole gluten-free chicken finger blog post didn’t make it obvious, I’m not a vegan. But we do eat mostly plant-based meals. Michael Pollan says it best,”Eat food, not too much, mostly plants.” That is the motto I live by.
Remember, there is no one diet for everyone. Some people thrive on a vegan diet, while others do best as an omnivore. Just like many people do well eating a paleo style diet, while others need to include some healthy grain in their diet. I always tell people and my clients in The Clear Skin Solution to eat that what makes their body and mind feel best. With that said, we do eat a lot less meat than the standard household.
When we do consume animal proteins, we only eat organic, pasture-raised, or sustainable options. Since we eat less meat, our grocery budget doesn’t increase by choosing these higher priced options. But is the label really worth the price? Organic or pasture-raised usually have more nutrients, lower exposure to chemicals and antibiotics, and have been treated humanely.
Pasture-raised, particularly, have much higher nutrients than their conventional counterpart. Since they eat grass and roam around foraging for food, they have much higher levels of omega-3s. The animals are usually leaner as well – same as we would be if we had ample space to roam around all day long. So for us, the label is definitely worth the price.
My son, Jackson, absolutely loves these healthy gluten-free chicken fingers! His favourite part is dipping them in my Rosemary Garlic Aioli. We usually serve it up with Crispy Baked Sweet Potato Fries for a healthy spin on chicken fingers and fries. Toss together my Strawberry Avocado Salad and you have yourself a pretty complete little dinner. Perfect for enjoying a warm weather meal on your patio.


Volvo unveils its first people mover, the EM90 – and it’s electric
The Swedish car maker once known for its boxy station wagons has taken 96 years to launch its first sliding-door people mover. But it's not entirely of Volvo's design.
Volvo has restyled another Chinese-owned car maker's vehicle to unveil the 2024 Volvo EM90, the first sliding-door people mover in the Swedish car maker's 96-year history.
Initially the $180,000 EM90 will be exclusive to the Chinese market – where high-priced, luxury "MPVs" (multi-purpose vehicles) are still popular as chauffeur-driven transport – and skip Australia.
While it is pitched as a "Scandinavian living room on the move", the EM90 is not a Volvo from the ground up, rather a rebadged and restyled version of the Zeekr 009 electric people mover sold in China.
Volvo and Zeekr are owned by Geely, one of China's largest car makers – which also counts UK sports-car specialist Lotus, and Volvo's electric-car spin-off Polestar in its stable.
The Volvo EM90 and Zeekr 009 appear to share their body shell, underpinnings, key specifications, and much of their interior – and are likely to be manufactured in the same Chinese factory – but differ in their front and rear styling, and parts of the cabin, such as the steering wheel.
Using the Zeekr as the basis for Volvo's first people mover allows the Swedish brand to reduce costs for a vehicle that will be sold in a handful of countries, in a segment of the market which – compared to luxury SUVs – is niche.
Volvo's largest electric vehicle yet – at 5.2m long and 2.0m wide – costs 818,000 Chinese yuan, or $AU180,000.
The EM90 offers up to 738km of claimed driving range – albeit in lenient CLTC lab testing in China – and weighs 2.7 tonnes.
Six seats are standard – in a 2-2-2 layout – with the two middle-row passengers treated to "lounge seats" with individual heating, ventilation and massaging functions, power adjustment and sliding, and access to built-in tables and cupholders.
Volvo claims the seats have "zero gravity cushions with a seven-layer structure and a thickness exceeding 120mm, including high-density damping layers for both comfort and support."
However the seat backrests appear to have been lifted – or derived – from the Zeekr, though the headrest and base look to be new.
Dual sunroofs cover all three rows, with the rear panoramic glass panel equipped with a curtain and ambient lighting with a number of selectable "moods".
Orrefors crystal is used in the gear selector – similar to other Volvo cars – while there is backlit birch wood on the dashboard, door panels and front seatbacks, and a natural FSC-certified wood on other surfaces in the cabin.
A 21-speaker Bowers and Wilkins 3D surround sound system is available – with a 2460W power output, and speakers in the front-seat headrests – as well as a PM2.5 cabin air purification system.
In the centre of the dashboard is a 15.4-inch infotainment touchscreen, but it appears to run a version of the Zeekr 009's multimedia software, with different fonts and icons to make it feel like Volvo's other cars.
It is powered by a Snapdragon processor – similar to what is in many Android phones – and offers 5G connectivity, voice control, and over-the-air downloadable software updates. There is a fold-down 15.6-inch screen for rear occupants, which can play movies or connect to online meetings.
The Volvo EM90's design mixes the body shell and doors from the Zeekr, with Volvo-specific front and rear fascias showcasing the company's signature 'Thor's Hammer' headlights, and tall vertical tail-lights.
Four exterior colours are available, as well as an illuminated front Volvo badge – a first for one of the company's cars – and 19- or 20-inch alloy wheels.
Powering the EM90 is a single electric motor on the rear axle developing 200kW, and a 116kWh battery pack.
It is good for a claimed 0-100km/h acceleration time of 8.3 seconds, a claimed driving range in lenient CLTC Chinese testing of 738km, and 10 to 80 per cent fast charging in 30 minutes.
The 116kWh battery is shared with the 009, but the Volvo misses out on its sibling vehicle's larger 140kWh battery – and the 400kW, dual-motor all-wheel-drive system standard in the Zeekr, good for 0-100km/h in a claimed 4.5 seconds.
The Volvo's 728km CLTC range compares to 702km for the all-wheel-drive Zeekr with the 116kWh battery – due to the extra motor on the front axle – and 822km for the Zeekr with the 140kWh pack.
The new Volvo offers bi-directional charging technology, allowing the car's battery to power small electrical appliances, recharge other electric cars, or even send energy back to the electrical grid.
There is a suite of advanced safety technology on offer, powered by "an all-round sensor set with high-definition cameras, surround view cameras, a millimetre wave radar and ultrasonic radars," though the exact features on offer haven't been named.
Volvo highlights the EM90's "strong safety cage" which is "made of various forms of high-strength steel including boron steel," but it is unclear if it has modified the structure compared to the Zeekr version, given the company has built its reputation on crash safety.
The 2024 Volvo EM90 is now available to order in China.
There are no news on plans to sell it in Australia. In August 2023, a Volvo Car Australia spokesperson told Drive: "The vehicle for now is planned for mainland China. Other markets are yet to be decided."

Transformation powered by people using generative AI
The opportunity: Ensuring widespread adoption, responsible use and early learning.
With headquarters in Denmark, acute care diagnostics global leader, Radiometer makes products and solutions for hospitals, clinics and laboratories in over 130 countries with around 4,800 employees worldwide. Its diverse range of products and solutions provide healthcare professionals with comprehensive clinical information, helping them to make potentially life-saving diagnostic decisions.
Building on its value of continuous improvement and driven by an ambition to meet customers’ ever-evolving needs, Radiometer wanted to explore the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) as a means of generating exact insights and fueling scientific advancements.
Radiometer was looking to find a responsible approach to designing, building and deploying an internal AI system, and a key factor in its decision to collaborate with KPMG in Denmark is how KPMG assesses the ethics, governance and security around clients’ AI and machine learning technologies. The set of frameworks, controls, processes and tools developed by KPMG professionals can help clients harness the power of AI in a safe, trustworthy and ethical manner, while realizing the highest value.
A longtime, loyal customer of Microsoft solutions, Radiometer’s decision to deploy the internal AI system on Microsoft Azure centered around the platform’s ability to optimize performance of business-critical applications.
Our response: Achieving individual and organizational value with AI.
From the outset, Radiometer’s leadership wanted to ensure that employees would derive individual value when using the company’s AI system. Specifically, that it would contribute to employees’ sense of competency, autonomy and creativity. Given that AI and machine learning is viewed by many as a threat to job security, this focus – on empowering people through the use of generative AI technology – was a core tenet of Radiometer’s design requirement.
We wanted to build our people’s trust in AI, so we made sure our employees recognized that RADChat could be a tool to help grow people’s competencies. What’s more, we invited our people to experiment with the technology; to become part of its development. Essentially, to train and evolve it.
Creating a backlog of the requirements needed to deploy an internal, data-integrated LLM solution was a key part of Radiometer’s collaboration with KPMG in Denmark, along with defining the organization’s AI roadmap, and establishing safe usage guidelines.
Rather than starting with a traditional PoC approach, KPMG in Denmark recommended making the tool widely available to help facilitate innovation and ensure broader use and adoption compared to more conventional approaches.
RADChat, the proprietary LLM AI system co-developed by KPMG professionals and Radiometer, and powered by Microsoft Azure, has been deployed for use across a range of applications within the organization, including knowledge management and retrieval; customer sales, services and operations; and recruitment and onboarding. The tool is already transforming the business by automating and executing language-based tasks with unprecedented speed and efficiency. Moreover, the learnings are helping to shape and refine future use cases for the business.
The outcome: AI unlocks new power for Radiometer employees.
Much has been said of the potential of AI to liberate knowledge workers from tedious, time-consuming tasks, so they can focus, instead, on work that requires human ingenuity and creativity. RADChat, as a catalyst for innovation, is helping Radiometer realize business transformation through the combined power of people and generative AI technology. Employees have likened the tool to collaborating with a new co-worker and are supportive of the way it boosts productivity. “It’s like having a clever assistant,” an HR analyst at Radiometer says.
While it is undeniable that generative AI, as an emerging technology, entails clear uncertainties and risks, it also holds enormous potential. KPMG’s deep expertise in risk considerations with respect to emerging technology, such as AI, machine learning, and data and analytics, helps organizations, like Radiometer, navigate the way forward and bring responsible AI solutions to life.

Your favorite quote, in your handwriting
This quote is from the Pink Floyd song Breathe off the Album Dark Side of the Moon. It's one of my favorite albums, so many of the lyrics in those songs mean something to me. And it's also great music. In simple words, this quote means life is what you make it. I intend to make my life everything I want. When I am older I want to say I did this, and I did that, not I wish I did this and I wish I did that. There's so much ahead of me now, I can't wait to see what happens.
