Man United goes 2nd in Premier League; Leeds enjoys 5-0 rout
Three weeks after crashing out of the Champions League, Manchester United is looking more like potential English champions again.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side rose to second place — two points behind Premier League leader Liverpool — with a 1-0 victory over Wolverhampton on Tuesday.
While ponderous at times, United pushed for a winner that came in the third minute of stoppage time when Marcus Rashford’s shot deflected off Romain Saiss and wrong-footed goalkeeper Rui Patricio.
“It’s probably not the most beautiful goal but we’ll take the three points and move on,” Rashford said. “Today was tough but at the end of the day we managed to get over the line.
“We’re obviously a little bit disappointed that we didn’t play as well as we could have. (But) it doesn’t matter how scrappy they are, we’ll take them.”
United hasn’t lifted the Premier League trophy since Alex Ferguson retired in 2013, with Solskjaer winning six titles as a player under him.
“Last season we didn’t win many points towards the end of games and we have a tradition of it at this club,” Solskjaer said. “Now we’ve won quite a few points towards the end of games and that’s both a mental aspect and also a physical aspect.
“We’ve got a group now that’s more robust both mentally and physically, we’ve gone through some tough training periods and played loads of games and they’re getting fitter. But mentally it gives you a mental boost knowing you can win games towards the end of games.”
In a meeting of promoted clubs, Leeds routed West Bromwich Albion 5-0.
Ezgjan Alioski, Jack Harrison and Rodrigo scored three in nine minutes after Romaine Sawyers’ own-goal put Leeds in front. The midfielder played a blind back pass but failed to notice goalkeeper Sam Johnstone to the left of his goal and the ball rolled into the empty net.
Raphinha added the fifth in the second half as Leeds rose to 11th place, while West Brom is only above Sheffield United at the bottom.
“We have only been in this league for 16 games and there are still many challenges and many tests we have to pass before we can legitimately say we belong,” Leeds manager Marcelo Bielsa said. “Every game in this league is a challenge, all the teams have secrets and capacities. There are few games you can think of where there are very few difficulties to resolve.”
Alexandre Lacazette scored 29 seconds after entering the field as a second-half substitute to give Arsenal a 1-0 win at Brighton.
Lacazette had just come on when Bukayo Saka turned from inside his own half and made a superb run down the right before pulling the ball back to him. Lacazette took one touch to control the ball just inside the penalty area before driving a shot inside the right post in the 66th minute.
The win eases some pressure off manager Mikel Arteta as Arsenal rose to 13th place.
“This is what all the managers dream of, to bring people from the bench to win you the game like he’s done,” Arteta said. “It was a great move from Bukayo first to create the action that he did.”
Sheffield United has only two points after 16 games following a 1-0 loss to Burnley that was secured by captain Ben Mee. Burnley is five points above the drop zone.
Southampton recorded its second successive 0-0 draw in a cagey match against West Ham. Southampton was without manager Ralph Hasenhüttl, who is in self-isolation after a member of his household tested positive for COVID-19.

Britain's coalition government voted in favour of raising the cap on university tuition fees to up to £9,000 a year Thursday, triple the current limit, as police clashed with protesters in London.
Britain's parliament voted in favor of increasing fees paid by university students on Thursday, despite a fracture in the coalition government and another day of clashes between police and protesting youth in London.
Students and academics were again out in force on London’s streets Thursday. After the
Susan Nash, vice president of the National Union of Students, speaks to FRANCE 24
mass protests in November, youth from across the country converged on the capital to protest the government’s plans to drastically increase university tuition fees.
Confrontations between police and protesters led to chaotic scenes in Parliament square. Police said 22 people were arrested, while 38 protesters and 10 police were injured on Thursday. Demonstrations continued after the result of the vote was announced, with police attempting to clear Parliament square in the early evening.
A car carrying Prince Charles and his wife Camilla was attacked by protesters along Regent street. "We can confirm that Their Royal Highnesses' car was attacked by protesters on the way to their engagement at the London Palladium this evening, but Their Royal Highnesses are unharmed," a spokesman for the prince said.
Protesters are unhappy with a rise in the cost of university schooling, today capped at £3,290 pounds per year (about €4,000). The reform approved by MPs seeks to raise the tuition limit to £9,000 pounds.
"Many young people feel betrayed because many of them voted for Nick Clegg, who promised not to raise tuitions," said Pickard. She predicted that the student movement against the reform will continue despite the vote.

Beech Mountain, NC, is the highest town east of the Rockies, which means it’s a perfect drivable destination from Atlanta for those seeking wintertime fun and even a bit of snow!
You have probably heard of Ski Beech, but there is more fun in Beech Mountain than just skiing. Did you know they have the Beech Mountain sledding hill? Thirty miles of snowshoe trails and cross-country trails? They do!
And there’s more too! Read on for the scoop on the free sledding hill and more snowy fun in Beech Mountain, North Carolina!
BEECH MOUNTAIN SLEDDING HILL
The town of Beech Mountain, NC, is full of wintertime fun, and of the best things to do is explore the Beech Mountain Town Sledding Hill.
Beech Mountain offers the only municipal sledding hill in the southeast. The best part? It’s FREE!
The sledding hill is located next to the Beech Mountain Visitors Center, tucked behind a split rail fence. Although the hill is designed for children 12 and under, parents or other responsible adults are allowed on sleds with preschoolers.
The sled hill is open from early December through mid-March and it’s BYOS — Bring Your Own Sled.
Plastic sleds are required at the Beech Mountain sledding hill, and they aren’t provided, so you need to bring or rent your own. Sleds are available for rent nearby at the Beech Meadows Ski Shop or the White Wolf Lodge, and Fred’s General Mercantile has them for sale.
Natural snow is enhanced by a snow gun when needed, so there’s plenty of good sledding to go around.
Hours of operation for the Sledding Hill are 9-5 pm Monday through Sunday and holidays, weather permitting.
SNOWSHOEING AND CROSS-COUNTRY SKIING
Beech Mountain is also a great place to go snowshoeing and cross-country skiing in North Carolina.
A well-established set of trails, called the Emerald Outback, gives skiers and snowshoers easy, moderate and difficult trails that range from less than a mile to 4.5 miles. When all is said and done, there are 30 miles of trails to explore.
Another snowshoeing option is the 1/3-mile walking track surrounding the Buckeye Recreation Center. There are no fees to check out snowshoes and they can be used for up to a half day before being returned! How cool is that? A great way to get out and explore the beautiful snow!
SNOW TUBING AND THE BEECH MOUNTAIN ALPINE VILLAGE
There are several ski resorts in North Carolina, but Beech Mountain Ski Resort is the only one with an Alpine Village that includes shops like Ski Beech Sports and Beech Mountain Gifts, as well as restaurants, including the Beech Mountain Brewing Company and the The Lodge Cafeteria.
A great addition to the Beech Mountain Resort is their tubing park, located adjacent to the Alpine Village at the base of the mountain. The snow tubing chutes are 700 feet long with a state-of-the-art magic carpet conveyer to the top. Kids must be 42″ to ride and cannot ride on an adult’s lap. Snow tubing sessions here are 1 hour and 45 minutes long.
BEECH MOUNTAIN SKI RESORT
For those who want to get on the slopes, Beech Mountain Ski Resort has 17 trails and 95 skiable acres.
Beech Mountain Ski Resort features 8 lifts, including 4 quad chair lifts, two terrain parks, equipment rentals, lessons and classes, childcare, and lodging options. There are plenty of lights for skiing at night, and snow making machines are on hand in case Mother Nature doesn’t help out. They’re also home to some great special events throughout the winter season.
BEECH MOUNTAIN TERRAIN PARKS
The terrain parks at Beech Mountain Ski Resort were built with all types of skill levels in mind. Beginners, Intermediate, and Advanced skiers and riders will all find a place to learn and play.
You’ll find a Progression Park located on Upper – Powder Bowl just off the main run to give everyone an opportunity to hone their skills and build confidence before moving to The Park.
The Park is located on its own slope off Lower – Powder Bowl, with a fast handle-pull tow to give you all the access with none of the wait. You’ll find 50 features here, and they’re constantly changing to give you new terrain to learn and play with. It also has dedicated snowmaking and lighting systems, so snowboarders and skiers can enjoy the The Park during all types of conditions.
MORE BEECH MOUNTAIN SNOW
SNOW WEB CAM
Most ski resorts in NC have resort cams, which offer real time video of the location. Check Beech Mountain weather, and Beech Mountain Resort snow conditions with their resort webcam.
When snow is scarce, Beech Mountain Ski Resort has 61 ultra high-tech snow guns to keep the slopes white. They’ve even added special emphasis on their most difficult run, called White Lightning. But don’t worry if you aren’t a proficient skier, they also have three easy and six intermediate runs.
And if you just want to sled, the Beech Mountain sledding hill also has snow guns to ensure the white stuff.

Assessing the seasonal characteristics of wind and the potential for wind energy over North Eastern Uganda
Opejo, Erasmus Jr
MetadataShow full item record
Wind energy is derived from differential solar heating of the earth by the sun and the irregularities and non-linearity of the surface of the earth. The assessment of wind energy potential in any area is vital before making a decision for the installation of wind energy generating power plants. This study aimed to assess of the wind energy potential over Northeastern Uganda. The analysis is based on the European Centre for Medium range Weather Forecast Re-Analysis (ERA-interim) dataset for the period of ten years (2010-2019). The data used in this report include monthly averages of wind speed at 10 metre height which was then extrapolated to different heights, surface roughness, Uganda towns, reserves and populated areas obtained from geoportal. The Weibull and Rayleigh distribution methods are used in this study to analyze the wind speed data. According to this study it is noted that the peak of the monthly average wind speeds is observed in the month of April, the lowest average wind speeds are observed in the month of January, followed by October, December and November. The trend in the variation of monthly average wind speeds is noted to be decreasing at a rate of - 0.1703m/s/month. Average wind speeds are observed to be high from March to June which experience average wind speeds between 4m/s and 4.5m/s, average wind speeds decrease from June to January and an increase from January to March. The highest average wind speeds are observed in the year 2017 with an average value of 4.2 m/s and the lowest average wind speeds were experienced in 2016 followed by 2019 giving the lowest average available wind power observed to be 11.4 Watts in 2016 and the highest being 46.7 Watts in 2017. The study recommends that the government should establish supportive policies to ensure that a clean energy transition is achieved in order to fulfil the ambitions of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) agenda regarding SDG 7 (affordable and clean energy) and SDG 13 (climate action). Approaches in energy management should be set to propose solutions regarding the extraction, supply, consumption of wind energy as well as investment, research, and development of energy systems.

EYE APPEAL 2 SELL
Let OUR EYES make YOUR HOME more APPEALING to SELL!
Call us today at
We have learned that Staged to Sell can be very similar to Designed to Live. In Staged to Sell: we try to appeal to the broad market of Potential Buyers with our style of design. In Designed to Live: we work with the homeowner, their likes and dislikes, and guide them, open their eyes to new ideas, new looks, sometimes subtle, sometimes more aggressive. The bottom line is to please the homeowner and still give them a Fresh New Look.
INITIAL CONSULTATION - up to 30 minutes - No Charge
EXTENSIVE CONSULTATION - usually lasting about 2 hours, $150.00
2. RESEARCH - Match the style of the home with the proper furniture/accessories. Appeal to the type of buyer that would most likely be purchasing your kind of home. Locate the appropriate furniture/accessories for your home.
3. DECLUTTER - Remove unneccessary Furniture and/or Accessories. Almost all homes, unless empty, have many objects, pictures, accessories, furniture, etc. that will not work in achieving the Desired Look that will sell the home Quickly and for Top Dollar.
4. COORDINATE WITH INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS - This includes Painters, Carpenters, Electricians, Landscapers, Plumbers, Furniture Rental companies, etc. Some homes require more "fixing" than others - before the actual staging of furniture/accessories by the Stagers.
5. PROVIDE OUR OWN INVENTORY - of Furniture/Accessories to create that "Model Home" look. We have an extensive inventory of furniture, artwork, carpets, window treatments, plants/floral arrangements, bedding, and other accessories that will help to complete the Desired Look.
6. ACTUAL STAGING - Interior space planning, re-designing and re-arranging furniture and all accessories to maximize the appeal and achieve that "Model Home" look.
Designed to Live:
1. CONSULTATION - same as in "Staged to Sell"
2. RESEARCH - Discover who these homeowners are, their likes and dislikes and what they are wanting to achieve in the New Look of their home, or certain rooms in the home. Locate and assist the homeowners in purchasing the furniture and accessories necessary to complete their Desired Look.
3. DECLUTTER - Same as in "Staged to Sell"
4. COORDINATE WITH INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS - Same as in "Staged to Sell"
5. ACTUAL STAGING - Same as in "Staged to Sell", except the final result will be a permanent Fresh New Look that the Homeowner will continue to enjoy. (That is, until they are ready for another Fresh New Look!!) And then.... we will be there for them - again!!
FREE Staging Tips and Ideas
The #1 room in a home that influences a buyers decision is the Kitchen. The Kitchen is longer a room where food is prepared behind closed doors and then brought into another room to be consumed. Today, a Kitchen is the Center of home life and entertaining. Lifestyles have changed to make the Kitchen a place of warmth and comfort. You don't need to spend a lot of money or completely remodel your kitchen in order to reflect this new lifestyle. Here are a few tips for your kitchen:
1. You want your kitchen to appear larger than it is. This is easily accomplished by removing unnecessary items from the counter tops, reducing the clutter. You may also want to remove pots and pans from cabinets to show more storage space.
2. The next step would be cleaning. This is critical! Floors, cabinets, walls, appliances should be spotless and shine.
3. Then the last step would be the staging. A vase of beautiful fresh flowers, or an appealing bowl of fresh fruit always works well. How about setting out a nice bottle of wine with 2 glasses and a well prepared plate of Dolci chocolate dipped strawberries. Adding a little romance in the kitchen always enhances the senses.
4. Fine linen, eye appealing centerpiece, nice glassware and flatware with your best polished silverware is a must. Be creative!
The #2 room that influences a buyer is the bathrooms. Bright, clean and luxurious baths sell homes. People love looking at romantic luxurious baths, so take this opportunity to make yours shine!
1. Clean and Shine is the first step.
2. Add plush towel sets, decorative floral arrangement, decorative soaps in sparkling dishes. Take a look at your walls and move some pictures into your bath that you normally would not have there.
3. Add a small touch of class for staging purposes such as candles, lipstick and mascara arranged on a mirror, etc.
FAMILY AND LIVING ROOM
View each room first from the door that you enter. Most sellers walk to the center of the room and look around, however, buyers first see the room from the door they enter. Therefore, make where you enter, your starting point, so you will see the room just as the buyer does for the first time.
1. First, if there istoo much furniture in a room, it will look cluttered and appear smaller.
2. Every sofa or chair does not have to be against a wall.
3. Vary the lighting and have plenty of it. No dark or dungy areas.
4. When buyers first enter a room their eyes will automatically go to the slider or window with a view. Take advantage of this and make it a focal point.

STATEHOUSE – Reps. Rebecca Kubacki (R-Syracuse) and Wes Culver (R-Goshen) have teamed up to battle adult illiteracy on behalf of the Indiana Literacy Association (ILA). Over the last couple of weeks, the two representatives have collected donations from fellow representatives in addition to purchasing over 75 books to donate to the ILA.
This issue has personal significance for Rep. Kubacki. When asking her colleagues to contribute, Rep. Kubacki spoke of her mother’s struggle to read and write. She described the powerful emotions evoked when she sees her mother and seven year old granddaughter sharing books because they read at the same level.
This bond has driven Rep. Kubacki’s mother to steadily improve everyday enabling her to read to her granddaughter.
The ILA estimates between 800,000 and 1.5 million adult Hoosiers have literacy skills below the necessary level for life in the U.S. today.
“Adult illiteracy is very near and dear to my heart – I’ve lived it,” said Rep. Kubacki. “Simple tasks like reading the directions on a prescription or writing a letter to a loved one are impossible without this vital skill.”
Rep. Kubacki has been involved in literacy advocacy for over a decade. She has spent twelve years working with Kosciusko Literacy Services and received an award for her participation on her 10th anniversary with the organization.
“I’m hoping that bringing this issue to the Statehouse will raise awareness,” said Rep. Kubacki. “It’s great to see staff and representatives from both sides of the aisle come together to combat this issue.”
Literacy organizations exist in nearly all of the state’s 92 counties.
ILA programs operate as not-for-profit, community-based corporations or within the purview of public libraries. They are responsible for finding their own funding, training their own tutors, and promoting their own programs and activities. While some operate with United Way support, most seek grants from community and private foundations.

Bluefield man pleads guilty to sending threatening letters to former U.S. Attorney and Bluefield Mayor
For Immediate Release
U.S. Attorney's Office, Southern District of West Virginia
CHARLESTON, W.Va. – A Bluefield man who mailed letters threatening to kill the former United States Attorney for the Southern District of West Virginia and the mayor of Bluefield pleaded guilty on Friday in federal court in Abingdon, Virginia, announced United States Attorney Carol Casto and United States Attorney for the Western District of Virginia John P. Fishwick, Jr. Kenneth Robert Godsey, 35, pleaded guilty to two counts of mailing a threatening communication.
In May 2015, Godsey sent a threatening letter from the Southwest Valley Regional Jail in Tazewell, Virginia, to then-United States Attorney Booth Goodwin at the Charleston office. Godsey’s letter to former U.S. Attorney Goodwin included numerous references to murder. In July 2015, Godsey sent another threatening letter from the jail to Bluefield Mayor Tom Cole. Godsey stated in the letter that he would kill the mayor and have others kill citizens of Bluefield. Pursuant to the plea agreement and pending approval by the United States District Court for the Western District of Virginia, Godsey faces between five and 10 years in federal prison when he is sentenced on October 24, 2016.
“Law enforcement and public officials should be able to go to work and go home to their families without threats from criminals,” said United States Attorney Casto. “This prosecution recognizes the importance of taking this criminal behavior seriously and should serve as a significant warning to those who make these threats to law enforcement, public officials, and their families. I want to the thank all of the investigating agencies and the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Virginia for helping to stop these threats and working to make law enforcement and public service safer for everyone.”
“Making threats to the safety of others, including public officials and those in law enforcement, is a serious matter that will be treated as such,” said United States Attorney Fishwick “Those who threaten the lives of others will be held accountable for their actions, as was the case here.”
The FBI, the United States Postal Inspection Service, the Tazewell County, Virginia, Sheriff’s Office, and the West Virginia State Police conducted the investigation.

greater the resistance.
When the words show its fragility we discover the doubts that remain secret in
Sometimes it's easier to look at nothing, as if all this had not happened.

Why in the hell is Robert Mueller running a criminal investigation when he and his friends are criminals themselves?
Via Gateway Pundit
Fox News Legal Contributor Gregg Jarrett discovered both Deputy Attorney General Ron Rosenstein and Mueller’s right hand man, Andrew Weissmann, former head of the fraud unit at Obama/Holder’s Justice Department, signed the plea agreement of the Russian businessman embroiled in the Clinton-Uranium One case.
As The Gateway Pundit’s Joe Hoft previously reported, the most egregious part of all the latest revelations surrounding the Clinton crime family is Attorney General Jeff Sessions refuses to investigate. Jason Chaffetz, former House of Representatives member and Chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform was on Justice with Judge Janine Pirro Saturday night and admitted Sessions won’t lift a finger to investigate Hillary Clinton.

Syrian writer Khaled Khalifa toured the UK in 2014 as part of the ‘Syria Speaks’ book tour, a project that shone the light on the concept of culture as a critical line of defense against tyranny.
Khaled Khalifa was born in 1964, in a village close to Aleppo, Syria. He is the fifth child of a family of thirteen siblings. He studied law at Aleppo University and actively participated in the foundation of Aleph magazine with a group of writers and poets. A few months later, the magazine was closed down by the Syrian authorities.
He currently lives in Damascus where he writes scripts for cinema and television. Khalifa’s In Praise of Hatred – published secretly in Damascus and banned forty days later – was shortlisted for the International Prize for Arabic Fiction in 2008. Set in and around 1980’s Aleppo, the story unpicks a life lived under dictatorship and loudly echoes the violence across the Middle East and the Arab world over. His work has been internationally recognised and awarded.

Every year for 4th of July, my family has a pie baking contest. Anyone can enter; those who don’t become judges. Each pie goes through intense scrutiny for taste and appearance. After years of being just shy of a winning pie thanks to stiff competition, I finally got the prize! This is the pie that took home the blue ribbon. The fruits pair perfectly with the tartness of rhubarb and create a deeply rich color. Serve warm, à la mode!
- 2 9-inch unbaked pie crusts (store bought or homemade)
- 1 cup white sugar
- ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup raspberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1 cup blackberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1 cup rhubarb, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 granny smith apple, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon milk (or non-dairy milk)
- 1 teaspoon white sugar
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Combine fruits with sugar and flour in a large bowl. Gently stir to combine, being careful not to break down the berries.
- Place one 9-inch pie crust in the bottom of a pie plate. Scoop fruit filling into bottom crust.
- Using a pastry wheel or knife, cut the second 9-inch pie crust into eight 1-inch wide strips. Place strips over the top of the pie in a woven pattern, with 4 strips going horizontally and 4 going vertically.
- Trim the edge of your pie crust and woven pieces evenly around the pie plate so that they overhang about ½-inch. Fold the edge of the pie crust inward, pressing to create one molded piece (incorporating the woven strips). To create a fluted edge: Hold your left thumb and forefinger together in a pinch on the outside edge of the crust. Use your right forefinger to press the crust into a point.
- Lightly baste the top of the crust with milk (just until it's damp). Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon sugar.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until crust is golden brown.

Eagle Spring to Saddle Junction to Idyllwild (mile 179.4, San Jacinto Wilderness)
Stunning Easter sunrise high in the mountains with only the anticipation of walking throughout the day… sweet. Soon after we started hiking today we met up with Coyote and enjoyed her company the rest of the day. We knew today was not going to be easy with multiple steep descents and ascents and a possibility of snow crossings. It was all that and more.
1st off it was gorgeous. I want to go back, soon. I hope to in 3 weeks to continue hiking this section. The San Jacinto Wilderness sports: expansive views, magnificent rock formations, granite domes, narrow trail, clean cool air, and snow travel (a lot). Brought back memories from hiking last year on the PCT.
2nd it was challenging. Everything was straight up or down. Between mile 175 and 179.4 it was solid snow. Topo Maps app on my iPhone to the rescue for navigation. We now know that many people have gotten lost up there and wandered around trying to find the trail.
Our plan was to exit the trail at Saddle Junction and descend 2.6 miles on the Devils Slide Trail that ends at Humber State Park Trail Head outside of the town of Idyllwild by 3:00. Bryn, my daughter was meeting us there. What we didn’t factor into the equation was the time it takes to travel through snow. We were late, but safe and happy when we exited the trail.
Coyote and Andy from Australia joined our family for dinner at Arriba’s Mexican Food in Idyllwild and for dessert at Joanne’s. Yuuuuummmmm. If you haven’t visited Idyllwild, do it. Fun little shops among pines, with very friendly people nestled in a beautiful little valley.
Got to admit, I am really sad to get off the trail. I would have loved to continue on with Coyote. She was very motivational to me and more importantly loved talking gear. But work calls. I will be back though hopefully to do the section from Idyllwild to Onyx Summit the end of April after the PCT Kick Off at Lake Moreno and I am starting my big section hiking this summer starting June 7.
I guess what really made my week was when I found out that Silly Chili didn’t want to take his backpack off at the Humber Trail Head, he just wanted to keep going on to Canada. Now it doesn’t get better than that. 🙂
FYI: I will be posting gear, trail info, food testing, videos, and better quality pics soon. I now have some gear that I heart and some I can leave behind.

Tanzania was the fourth country site for the GREAT Network’s in-country guideline prioritization and implementation planning work. In November 2014, local stakeholders including clinicians, healthcare providers, healthcare administrators, researchers/academics, non-governmental organizations, policymakers, and professional associations from Tanzania gathered as participants of a two-day workshop that involved focus group discussions followed by a prioritization meeting.
Informed by joint consultations with Ifakara Health Institute, PATH, WHO, and the Ministry of Health Tanzania, the following four maternal guidelines have been selected as key priorities for implementation activities in Tanzania:
- Prevention and Treatment of Post-Partum Haemorrhage (2012);
- Prevention and Treatment of Pre-Eclampsia/Eclampsia (2011);
- Induction of Labour (2011);
- Augmentation of Labour (2014).
Key objectives of the in-person workshop included:
- To identify barriers and facilitators to the implementation of the priority guidelines in Tanzania; and
- To develop a cross-cutting, multi-level implementation strategy to improve the use of the guidelines.
Multiple methods were used to collect data on priorities, barriers and facilitators, as well as to determine potential implementation strategies for the four identified guidelines in Tanzania. Primary data collection occurred during an in-country two-day workshop involving focus group discussions, a ranking exercise, and small and large group discussions to explore barriers and facilitators, identify guideline priority areas, and develop action-oriented and tailored implementation strategies. Prior to the workshop, a survey was administered to inform workshop proceedings.
The process of selecting priority maternal and perinatal health recommendations and exploring barriers and facilitators to implementation of the four priority WHO guidelines yielded rich information to inform implementation planning in Tanzania.
Findings from the focus group discussions described issues at the level of the health care system, which included factors related to policies and wider systemic conditions in Tanzania that can affect implementation of the WHO guideline recommendations. These factors included: access to resources; continuity of care; monitoring and evaluation; policies; and dissemination of guidelines. Issues at the level of the health care provider that may affect guideline implementation were prevalent, and included: beliefs, attitudes, and buy-in about the use of guideline recommendations; knowledge and skills needed to implement the guidelines; as well astraining, coaching, and professional development around guideline implementation. Finally, issues at the level of the patient/community that may affect guideline implementation included: health-seeking behaviour and preferences for care; community champions; and socioeconomic status.
The ranking exercise resulted in a participant-driven assessment of the feasibility of 12 guideline recommendations that were deemed to be priorities in Tanzania. Within subsequent small group discussions, multiple implementation strategies were suggested to overcome barriers.
Key messages that emerged from the pre-workshop and workshop activities are as follows:
- Drug procurement, management, and distribution practices are not operating optimally. Key suggestions to improve drug ordering and monitoring across the country included accountability measures for timely request and reporting, and implementing cost-sharing programs. There is a need to ensure that oxytocin is stored at 2–8 degrees (Celsius) at all levels of handling to maintain the cold chain system. This may minimize “drug waste” (i.e., medications expiring or becoming unstable due to storage).
- Ensure access to equipment such as refrigerators for drug storage, and basic supplies such as gloves and blood pressure cuffs. Budgeting for essential equipment and supplies can be improved in a Comprehensive Council Health Plan to ensure adequate funding.
- Recruitment and retention strategies focusing on rural areas in particular should be strengthened to ensure adequate human resources for health. Cross-training of existing staff in maternal and perinatal health so that they can be re-distributed within and across facilities as needed may reduce the burden on overworked teams in all areas of Tanzania.
- Increased opportunities for training are essential to improve the implementation of guideline recommendations, with more focus on pre-service training and a refresher course for in-service training. The training should be competency- based, and should include continuing medical education, supportive supervision and mentorship programs.
- A focus on interprofessional training and promotion of a collaborative health care team model was cited as a key area for improvement that could improve attitudes, buy-in, and provider confidence in implementing a guideline recommendation.
- There is a need to create more formal linkages between the various levels of health care facilities to better coordinate and standardize maternal health care for the community. Opportunities to form linkages through technology (e.g., telemedicine) are currently being piloted in Tanzania.
- There is a need for wider dissemination of guidelines beyond distributing them directly to users. This could be achieved through strategies such as mass media campaigns, educational materials and community champions.
Many of the barriers, facilitators, and resultant implementation strategies identified regarding the four WHO maternal and perinatal guidelines are applicable to other priority areas in health care; therefore, these findings can inform and be integrated into future barrier and facilitator assessments and guideline implementation planning initiatives in Tanzania.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — As much of the Mid-South prepares for another dangerous heat wave, a Memphis high rise for seniors is without air conditioning once again.
This is the second time in two weeks that the air conditioning has been out at Serenity Towers. Residents told the WREG Investigators that none of the elevators are working at the taxpayer-funded complex.
An attorney for Serenity was in Environmental Court Friday to update the judge on a previous outage when he explained the air went out again this week.
A representative for the property told the court that the complex lost power during Wednesday’s storm. While it was restored, they said the air conditioning was still out.
The representative said they’re working on repairs and in the meantime, all the residents have portable units to use. However, multiple residents have said that they didn’t have portable units.
Some residents say they saw repair crews working on the air conditioning units but they are still not back on.
The judge told them he didn’t want the problem to continue throughout the weekend and ordered the parties back to court on Monday.
WREG reached out to the Ohio-based property management company that runs Serenity as well as HUD. HUD sent a statement Friday afternoon:
The wellbeing of the residents at Serenity Towers is HUD’s top priority. We are in communication with the property owner’s representative for updates; they are offering cooling stations and performing wellness checks with the tenants. A severe storm last night caused loss of power in the neighborhood; it was restored this morning. The HVAC system is on, but the elevated temperature in the building is caused by the chiller being offline. It is expected to be stabilized by the end of the day today. The elevator is expected to be operational later today.”
We also contacted County Code Enforcement about the non-working elevators and a supervisor confirmed that they would send someone out to check on the problem.
In recent months, county code officials said that one side of elevators had been on and off. That issue had also been addressed in Environmental Court.

The runway at Princess Juliana International Airport on Saint Martin (actually, on the Dutch side, spelled Sint Maarten) ends right at Maho Beach. It’s a typical tourist thing to watch the planes fly literally right over your head, and also to stand up against the fence and let 747s’s engine exhaust blow you over before…
Yep, a beach named “Sand”, on the French side of Saint Martin. Since I’m starting my new blog off freshly back from a trip to the Caribbean (my favorite place to go), I thought I would start with some pictures from the trip.
Well, why not?!?!? Isn’t it a great name? You’ll never forget it!
Yep, there isn’t really anything deep and meaningful behind it, and you can’t really order monkeys on this site, whether via the mail or otherwise.
But who thought of the name?

Scientists have come to the conclusion that ancient Mars had a vast ocean and a much warmer, wetter climate.
According to a team of researchers from the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, new estimates indicate an ocean once covered about 20 percent of Mars' surface. That ocean contained approximately 20 million cubic kilometers of water, which would be more than the Atlantic Ocean.
Researchers used three different observatories' telescopes to take a picture of the entire hemisphere of Mars.
The infrared telescopes revealed that only about 13 percent of the once-large ocean remains on the planet, and that small percentage is stored in the polar ice caps.
The previous ocean water was "lost to space."
"As Mars lost its atmosphere over billions of years, it lost the pressure and heat needed to keep water liquid, causing the ocean to shrink," a NASA narrator tells us.
The Curiosity rover has shown Mars was "wet" for over 1.5 billion years, which is much longer than previously thought (and long enough to develop life). But what does this all mean?
It means there is a much greater chance Mars has been a host to life.
In a related story, NASA also discovered that Jupiter's moon Ganymede has oceans 10 times deeper than Earth's oceans. So basically, we could just be flying around in space with a bunch of other planets that may have vaguely resembled us billions and trillions of years ago.

Analytical Investigations of Thin Cylindrical Panel Subjected to Under Mechanical Loads
structures are utilized in various applications such as pipelines, aerospace and marine structures, large dams, shell roofs, liquid-retaining structures, and cooling towers. One of the key goals in designing these structures is weight reduction, which is essential for improving the overall performance of the system. Using composite materials instead of traditional metallic structures is advantageous because of their higher specific stiffness and strength.
The objective of this project is to perform static, linear buckling, and linear layer analysis to determine the deformation and stress of a thin cylindrical panel, both with and without a hole. The analysis will be carried out on panels made from aluminum alloy 7075, CFRP, and glass fiber reinforced plastic material. The layer stacking method will be used to analyze panels with 3, 6, and 9 layers. The 3D modeling of the panels will be performed using the parametric software CATIA, and the analysis will be carried out using ANSYS software.
The focus of this thesis is to determine the stress on thin cylindrical panels made from both traditional and composite materials, as well as analyzing the effects of layer geometry on panel performance. The results of this study will provide insight into the behavior of these structures under different loading conditions and help optimize their design for improved performance.

Of course the original vanilla, cinnabun, peanut butter cup, and mocha so far. All were great
everyone has there own preferences. IMO, a company making protein should at least have the two basic flavors (vanilla and chocolate) then come up with 2 more that are a little more exotic.
No need for a thousand choices the average person only looks for same flavors.. Choc, strawberry and vanilla and maybe a fruity one.

Murder and melancholy color 'Brighton Rock'
With a name like Pinkie Brown, a cheery and colorful sort of fellow comes to mind.
But in Brighton Rock, Pinkie's a brooder.
And his dark moods only get worse after he kills a man and tries to cover it up.
This nasty thug is hellbent on hushing up an innocent girl who's a potential witness. That unfortunate soul is Rose, who makes the mistake of bragging to Pinkie that she never forgets a face.
Brighton Rock is a remake of the 1947 black-and-white film noir classic with Richard Attenborough, based on the 1938 novel by Graham Greene. The time frame has been changed from the 1930s to the early '60s.
The shabbiest parts of Brighton, the British seaside resort town, are captured vividly in this underworld thriller. Helen Mirren turns in a nuanced performance as Ida Arnold, a world-weary but principled woman attempting to help Rose (Andrea Riseborough), who is a waitress at the tearoom she owns, escape the clutches of the manipulative, merciless Pinkie (Sam Riley). Also splendid is John Hurt as Phil, a dapper bookie. His verbal pas de deux with Mirren is a treat.
About the film
* * * out of four
Stars: Sam Riley, Helen Mirren, John Hurt, Andrea Riseborough, Andy Serkis
Director: Rowan Joffe
Distributor: IFC Films
Running time: 1 hour, 45 minutes
Expands Friday to select cities
Last seen as Joy Division singer Ian Curtis in 2007's extraordinary Control, Riley is chilling as an ambitious small-time hood. After he viciously kills gang rival Fred Hale (Sean Harris), he romances Rose in an effort to shut her up.
In slightly more than a cameo, Andy Serkis captivates as unctuous Mob boss Colleoni, which conjures up The Godfather's Don Corleone every time it's uttered.
Evocative music and stylish visual flourishes from first-time director Rowan Joffe bring heft to a predictable thriller set during a summer of youthful unrest.
The suspense takes time building the requisite tension. And sometimes the tension is unnervingly subtle. The shadowy monotony of a rotating fan in a dimly lit room is strangely mesmerizing.
Still, there's a palpable Hitchcock-style undercurrent of menace throughout, though some of the scenes featuring lawless mods and rockers feel extraneous. Violent elements are less intriguing than the grim romance between Rose and Pinkie and its eerie conclusion.
Guilt and sin are explored within the context of Catholic doctrine. Greene, a famously conflicted Catholic, had deftly woven in its influences.
Pinkie tells Rose that damnation and hell are "the only things that make sense." When she tentatively brings up heaven, he loses interest. He knows he's already damned.
While the two leads emerge soulless as melodrama hovers around the edges of the tale, the era is convincingly portrayed and the melancholy mood is hauntingly rendered.

Earlier this month, it was announced that the landowners of Kirkjufell, Háls and Búðá have decided to ban all walks on Kirkjufell until mid-June, following the recent deadly accident at the mountain. According to the travel association Útivist, the ban might be illegal.
The association’s statement reads: “Concerns about the risk of accidents on the mountain are understandable. The growing traffic of unaccustomed and poorly equipped hikers has had disastrous consequences in recent years, as stated in the landowner’s announcement. Furthermore, rescuers have had to put themselves in very difficult situations following these accidents. This will not be overlooked, and it is therefore understandable that the local community of Kirkjufell has deemed it necessary to take some action.
“Nevertheless, the management of Útivist considers it appropriate to remind the public right that is discussed in Chapter IV of the Nature Conservation Act. The landowner’s ban on walking on the mountain is not in accordance with the law on public rights. It is not possible to put under the same umbrella the trips of inexperienced, poorly equipped hikers, who do not know the conditions, and the trips of organised groups who have a lot of knowledge to ensure safety and assess the conditions. The travel association Útivist has organised trips to Kirkjufell and has always ensured that safety is guaranteed as much as possible. The board of Útivist reiterates its understanding of the actions that the landowners have taken in light of the special circumstances, but at the same time, does not consider it a reason to limit the access of well-equipped and trained hiking groups and reiterates that it is not the role of the landowner to assess the risk of hiking trails in nature. The board of Útivist believes it is important to find other and more suitable ways to reduce accidents and deaths at Kirkjufell, including by installing information signs about the dangers that may be lurking in frequently visited places.”
Similarly to other Nordic countries, Iceland has legal rights, also known as the freedom to roam. This means anyone can hike uncultivated land without asking permission. Útivist’s statement refers to the freedom to roam when calling the hiking ban at Mt. Kirkjufell illegal. It is not yet known whether any response following the travel association’s statement will be released.

"At a time when most old films were still protected by copyright and studios were urging the FBI to prosecute individuals owning copyrighted films, movie collecting was a largely underground and somewhat dangerous activity." In 1977, for example, a 20 year old film collector was visited by the FBI. The agents, posing as fellow collectors, entered his home and seized his collection. His case wasn't unique. Even the stars — most famously, Roddy McDowall — were subject to the legal wrath of the very studios they worked for. Still, some collectors got away with it (including one J. D. Salinger).

"We're fighting our own terrorist war," says Jack Valenti, president of the Motion Picture Association of America. David Rocci conters: "There's a huge difference in what people think copyright is and what the corporations think copyright is. I'm not so sure it's morally wrong for someone to go [see] 'Lord of the Rings' in the theater two or three times and then download it because they like it." (NYT link)
Disney's Atlantis ripped from the anime movie Nadia. Talk about role reversal (you see, a lot of anime creators style comes from trying to emulate Disney style in the early days of the genre) this site presents some interesting evidence that Disney's summer blockbuster is a complete copy of an earlier film released in 1990 in Japan.

Data from: Predicting animal behaviour using deep learning: GPS data alone accurately predict diving in seabirds
Cite this dataset
Browning, Ella et al. (2017). Data from: Predicting animal behaviour using deep learning: GPS data alone accurately predict diving in seabirds [Dataset]. Dryad. https://doi.org/10.5061/dryad.t7ck5
1.In order to prevent further global declines in biodiversity, identifying and understanding key habitats is crucial for successful conservation strategies. For example, globally, seabird populations are under threat and animal movement data can identify key at-sea areas and provide valuable information on the state of marine ecosystems. To date, in order to locate these areas, studies have used Global Positioning System (GPS) to record position and are sometimes combined with Time Depth Recorder (TDR) devices to identify diving activity associated with foraging, a crucial aspect of at-sea behaviour. However, the use of additional devices such as TDRs can be expensive, logistically difficult, and may adversely affect the animal. Alternatively, behaviours may be resolved from measurements derived from the movement data alone. However, this behavioural analysis frequently lacks validation data for locations predicted as foraging (or other behaviours). 2.Here, we address these issues using a combined GPS and TDR dataset from 108 individuals by training deep learning models to predict diving in European shags, common guillemots and razorbills. We validate our predictions using withheld data, producing quantitative assessment of predictive accuracy. The variables used to train these models are those recorded solely by the GPS device: variation in longitude and latitude, altitude, and coverage ratio (proportion of possible fixes acquired within a set window of time). 3.Different combinations of these variables were used to explore the qualities of different models, with the optimum models for all species predicting non-diving and diving behaviour correctly over 94% and 80% of the time, respectively. We also demonstrate the superior predictive ability of these supervised deep-learning models over other commonly used behavioural prediction methods such as hidden Markov models. 4.Mapping these predictions provides useful insights into the foraging activity of a range of seabird species, highlighting important at sea locations. These models have the potential to be used to analyse historic GPS datasets and further our understanding of how environmental changes have affected these seabirds over time.

Solar Victoria has recently announced that the Solar Panel Rebate under the Solar Homes Program will reduce from $2,225 to $1,888 this year.
This means householders who sent in their Solar PV application after 1st of January 2020 will receive a rebate up to $1,888, if the application is successful. The no-interest loan is still available, and will match the rebate amount up to $1,888.
The rebate, although reduced, still gives eligible households an opportunity to invest in a better quality solar system that is safer, more efficient and more durable.
The Victorian government announced the Solar Homes Program last July, providing rebates for solar PV systems, battery storage systems, as well as solar hot water systems. Solar Victoria also announced interest-free loans for solar PV systems.
Response to the Solar Homes Program has proven to be very popular, with solar PV applications quickly and fully subscribed when released.
To meet the growing demand for solar and to ensure a safe and orderly roll-out, Solar Victoria has set a target number of rebates which will be approved each month. Once this number has been reached, they will likely pause application submissions until the start of the next round in the next month.
The Solar Homes Program will run over 10 years, and is expected to support the installation of more than 650,000 solar PV systems in Victoria.
Total Solar Solutions is a Clean Energy Council Accredited Installer, as well as a Clean Energy Council Approved Solar Retailer. We offer an extensive range of top quality solar panels, and are known for our exceptional workmanship and excellent customer service.

To Get Teens Involved, You Have to Think Like One…Sort Of
By Dana Carman
Kids grow up fast. One minute they're toddlers, the next in elementary school and before you know it they've hit the teen years. And everything changes. Hormones enter the picture, as does peer pressure. What once held their attention and interest no longer does. Not yet adults but no longer children, teens have long been a tough audience to attract to recreational programs. Today's teens and their younger counterparts—tweens (or preteens)—have many activities vying for their attention, and unfortunately, not all of them are good. Recreation specialists are competing with video games; the Internet and the rise of e-mail and social networking sites like MySpace and Facebook; friends; and more.
It comes as no surprise to hear that teens like their space. But liking their own space doesn't mean that teens and tweens can't enjoy freedom while still partaking in community activity. After all, what do teens like more than their space? Being social.
That's a fact that hasn't gone out of style. It's also no secret that teens socialize on Friday and Saturday—when keeping teenagers home is difficult and keeping them safe is imperative. Ten years ago, the Department of Parks and Recreation of Prince George's County, Md., started a weekend drop-in program for teens. On Friday and Saturday nights, the department's 40-plus community centers stay open for young people ages 10 to 17. What started as a weekend program has grown into Xtreme Teens, which encompasses all the opportunities offered to this age group, such as classes, workshops, day camps, clubs, trips, etc.
One such opportunity is Café Groove, a Friday night open-mic night started within the department's arts and cultural heritage division. "It's designed to bring to us young people who are not inclined to be involved with sports and to give them the opportunity to share through performances and through the spoken word," said Emily Rose, chief of the department's special programs division.
On the second Saturday of the month, the Elk Grove (Ill.) Park District also hosts teen nights where the building is open to teens for a variety of activities, such as basketball, Dance Dance Revolution or Guitar Hero. Similarly, the Seattle Parks and Recreation Department offers late-night recreation featuring movies, food, basketball and the like in its community centers. While each department does it a little differently, the point is often the same. "It's a safe place that welcomes all teens," said Ron Mirabueno, teen parks and recreation coordinator and youth employment program director for Seattle Parks and Recreation.
When talking teens, there are often goals involved in the programming. While weekend drop-in programs may not seem goal-oriented, they're still offering teens a community haven as well as new opportunities, which in itself provides structure.
