Inside Out [Release date 23.03.18]
John Mitchell has often said in past interviews that there may be a second Kino album to follow the excellent ‘Picture’ album released back in 2005, however it never seemed that imminent until earlier this year it was announced that a new Kino album was due, hurrah!
John Mitchell (Frost*/Lonely Robot/It Bites) and Marillion’s bass player Pete Trewavas remain from the debut album, although keyboards player John Beck (It Bites/Fish) does guest on a few tracks and they have brought in Craig Blundell on drums.
As for the album title and musical vision, John Mitchell explains that “the title sounds very cool and obviously there’s a connection with the band Cabaret Voltaire. But Voltaire himself (the 18th century French philosopher) had a fascination with death, which appealed to me.
He also stood for freedom of speech and freedom of religion. I love the idea of a radio station that would reflect his views on life and cut through the bullshit which seems to be all over politics. Now, that is the type of radio station I think would reflect what a lot of us want to hear.”
The album’s title track opens the album in style with a jaw dropping piece of guitar playing by John Mitchell. ‘The Dead Club’ has been released as taster song and hints of Lonely Robot on that one, whilst ‘Idlewind’ is one of the those ballads Kino do so well. A song that deserves to be heard and enjoyed over and over.
‘I Don’t Why’ is a bouncy rocker, recalling It Bites and Cheap Trick on the harmonies – Pete Trewavas’s harmony vocals are put to good use on this one. This song highlights how Kino successfully take a pop melody, then rock and prog it up a little, wonderful stuff. Air keyboards to the fore on ‘I Won’t Break So Easily Any More’ - I am pretty certain John Beck plays on this one judging by the keys.
‘Grey Shapes On Concrete Fields’ highlights the fact that we are losing more and more of our natural green spaces to buildings. Another song that mixes the guitar, keys and rhythm to great effect – each musician can be heard clearly in the mix.
‘Keep The Faith’ switches between tempos, building from a mellow beginning to produce a pomp rock flourish and guitar solo by the song’s finale. Earlier in the song the guitar playing recalls the late, great George Harrison, sublime listening.
Has it been the worth the wait? Do bears toilet in the woods?! Kino hit the spot again with an album packed full of thoughtful and enjoyable music that successfully melds prog, pop and rock into one gorgeous musical mix. Now please don’t leave it another thirteen years until album number three! ****1/2

text: Nerve-induced release of the nitric oxide (NO) breakdown products nitrite (NO2-) and nitrate (NO3-) and the histochemical localization of NO synthase in the human penile corpus cavernosum and urethra were studied. Relaxations induced by nerve stimulation were inhibited by Nw-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME), an effect which was reversed by L-arginine. Relaxations elicited either by nerve stimulation or exogenous NO were accompanied by the appearance of equivalent amounts of NO2- and NO3- over a very similar time course. Nerve-induced release of NO2- and NO3- was inhibited by L-NAME. Histochemical studies showed NADPH diaphorase and NO-positive nerve fibres surrounding the arteries and smooth muscle bundles in the corpus cavernosum and the urethra. The results suggest that NO is a mediator for non-adrenergic non-cholinergic relaxation in the human urogenital tract.

Rampath said from 9 am, traffic going north along Charlotte, Henry and Pembroke Streets would have to turn west onto Gordon Street, which will be one-way going west.
Except for vehicles displaying stickers and passes, there will be be no entry on Keate Street, from Charlotte Street and Chancery Lane from Gordon Street or Queen’s Park West.
Traffic along the Queen’s Park Savannah will be permitted but drivers must pay attention to police and traffic wardens directing traffic into and out of the QPS, the St Ann’s roundabout, the entrance to the drag mall at the top of Frederick Street and the entrance to the Paddock, as well as the exits at Dundonald Street and Victoria Avenue.
While traffic restrictions are in effect, the Vehicle Operation Unit will remove vehicles that are illegally parked, which will be taken to the police impound bay in Sea Lots.

Spice Circle Indian Restaurant 时派圈
Spice Circle is not difficult to find, as it's opposite the Ritz Carlton on Financial Street, the exact location being No. 7-3 Jinchengfang Street. But take the trouble to look it out, as the current entrance is hidden away in a corner, although General Manager Vivek Joshi is quick to assure visitors that something more appropriate is in the process of construction. Down a couple of flights of stairs to the restaurant itself, but the ambiance is clean, modern and bright.
The dining room is small and personal, holding around fifty. Service was first-class - attentive but not intrusive. The cooking is excellent and delicate, and particularly recommended to expats who are missing a real taste of sub-continental cuisine from the north of India. The range is wide, with around one hundred dishes on the menu, and includes all the standards and classics -- Tikkas, Kebabs, Curries and Tandooris -- for both vegetarians and non-veggies.
Six generous papadums plus sauces made for a nice starter at only 10 RMB, and we had a beautifully-prepared Samudri Fish Tikka and a Lamb Roganjosh as our main courses. The menu has a helpful 'spice-level' rating on each dish, ranging from none to three chillis. As we were accompanied by a toddler, the staff took the trouble to check how hot we wanted our dishes, and were thoughtful enough to add a little plain chicken for the youngster.
There is a wide selection of beers, wines, and cocktails. The restaurant also offers a takeaway menu, and a weekday Lunch Buffet Special at 50 RMB + 15%. Full dinner for two from around 200 RMB plus drinks. Spice Circle is Indian-owned and managed -- the company also owns an award-winning restaurant in Shenzhen.

Ken Walton, Vox Carnyx “At the emotional heart of Dido’s Ghost, however, is Matthew Brook’s towering portrayal of Aeneas, which, with Wallen’s and Stace’s evocative writing, invests in the character a human depth that Purcell opted not to explore to any great extent in his own opera.” Read the full review here.

Curtin University has won the bid to host a national centre to help disadvantaged students access university.
In Perth today, Minister for Higher Education and Skills Sharon Bird congratulated Curtin University as the new host of the National Centre for Student Equity in Higher Education.
“This national centre in Perth will bring together experts in equity. It will play a central role in helping Government and institutions improve access to higher education for disadvantaged students,” Minister Bird said.
“This is a fresh start for the Centre. Curtin University has an excellent plan, and I am confident it will provide a supportive environment to help the Centre fulfil its important role, and help open up our universities,” Minister Bird said.
The Centre will be funded with $3.2 million over three years from the Gillard Labor Government.
Minister Bird also announced that the Australian Government is committing $400,000 to develop a new national monitoring and evaluation framework that will help improve equity in higher education.
“The new tool will help us to track progress and achievements in higher education equity in a more nuanced way and help identify areas that need improvement.”
The National Centre for Student Equity in Higher Education commenced operation in 2008 at the University of South Australia. A competitive selection process was undertaken which recommended Curtin University as the new host.
The University of South Australia did not seek to extend its hosting role through the selection process and supported the process for identifying another university to host the Centre.
“I want to thank the University of South Australia for its outstanding work in establishing and hosting the Centre since 2008,” Minister Bird said.

Organic strawberries may cost more, but it’s a price worth paying, scientists say.
The fruit is both tastier and better for your health, research shows.
The most detailed study of its kind has found that they contain higher levels of anti-cancer nutrients than fruit sprayed with chemical pesticides.
Naturally-produced strawberries also have a longer shelf life and a richer, more fruity flavor, according to the researchers.
Their findings add to a growing body of evidence that organic food is healthier than conventional fruit and vegetables.
Dr John Reganold, who led the study at Washington State University in the U.S., said: ‘We show that you can have high quality, healthy produce, without resorting to an arsenal of pesticides.’
Researchers analyzed the taste, nutrition and quality of three strawberry varieties growing on 13 organic and 13 conventional farms in California, as well as 31 chemical and biological properties of the soil where they were grown.
The organic fruit had ‘ significantly higher’ levels of antioxidants – nutrients that mop up potentially dangerous and cancer-causing ‘free radicals’ in the body.
They also last longer and have ‘more strawberry in the strawberry’, Dr Reganold reports in the journal PLoS One, published by the Public Library of Science.
In blind taste tests, volunteers said they found organic strawberries sweeter and more flavorsome. And when they saw the fruit, they judged the strawberries from the organic farms to have a better color.

Since 2018, all five Local Planning Authorities (LPAs) that make up Oxfordshire had been working together on a Joint Local Plan to support sustainable growth for the county up to 2050. However, amid dispute over planning for future housing needs, the leaders of Cherwell District Council, Oxford City Council, South Oxfordshire District Council, Vale of White Horse District Council and West Oxfordshire District Council have announced that:
” It is with regret that we were unable to reach an agreement on the approach to planning for future housing needs within the framework of the Oxfordshire Plan.”
As a result, the joint Oxfordshire Plan 2050 work programme is to end, and the five LPAs will now transition to a process focused on individual Local Plans for each City and District to deliver their own housing needs.
The individual LPAs will now continue to be reliant on existing Development Plan Documents for an extended period, which may have consequences on their ability to deliver new homes. Whilst latest published figures suggest that four of the five LPAs currently have a five year supply of housing (5YHLS), that supply is marginal for most of them:
The risk for the LPAs is that, should they be unable to demonstrate a 5YHLS, the National Planning Policy Framework advises that their policies for the delivery of new housing will be considered out of date. A tilted balance in favour of approving sustainable development will then kick in.
This situation, should it evolve to those LPAs not being able to deliver their housing requirements, could present an opportunity to put forward proposals for housing development outside of formal allocations and for smaller windfalls. Where it can be demonstrated that the proposal represents sustainable development, and any adverse impacts would not significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits, planning permission should then be granted. Where applications have previously been refused and for proposals outside of designated settlements, we can help build you a strong case for approval.
Furthermore, now that the LPAs are effectively back at the drawing board, they will need to identify new sites to ensure they can maintain both their 5YHLS and meet other development needs in the area. Before long, as part of the Local Plan process, LPAs across Oxfordshire will inevitably be issuing a series of Call for Sites to identify land that is available and suitable for such development. Getting involved in the process as early as possible is the best time for those with development interests and land in the area to secure future development potential, particularly for large strategic sites.
We advise at all stages of the planning process but consulting with us at this early stage will help to ensure your interests are protected and your assets are promoted. We work on a case-by-case basis and have excellent knowledge of the Oxfordshire area. If you wish to discuss opportunities for site promotions, please get in touch for advice on the best way forward for you.

The DA has called on the government’s plans to tackle the coronavirus to be tabled in Parliament. DA MP and party spokesperson on health, Siviwe Gwarube, addressed Parliament on Thursday afternoon and criticised the government’s handling of the coronavirus.
The DA had tabled a motion for discussion which focused on the coronavirus. The debate happened minutes after the Minister of Health Dr Zweli Mkhize had announced the country’s first case of the covid-19 coronavirus.
The patient has been recorded as a 38-year-old South African man who had recently travelled to Italy with his wife. He was part of a group of 10 people who travelled from Italy where the virus has continued to spread with hundreds of cases being recorded. The man is from KwaZulu-Natal and is currently under isolation.
Gwarube said President Cyril Ramaphosa should have presented a plan to Parliament on how the virus would be dealt with as this was a matter of concern for all South Africans. The DA has also criticised the government’s plan to fly back South Africans who have been living in Wuhan, China, the epicentre of the virus. Gwarube said the decision should have been discussed by all party’s in Parliament.
“Speaker, Parliament needs to assert itself as the main legislative arm of the state. We need to understand the role bestowed to us by the Constitution and take it seriously. In the midst of an epidemic that has been declared a global public health emergency by the World Health Organisation (WHO), plans to deal with this matter should be tabled in this House for scrutiny, discussion and adoption,” she said.
“It is important when the president convenes an inter-ministerial task team that decides to repatriate over 150 South Africans from Wuhan, China, the decision is tabled, scrutinized and adopted by Parliament. It does not bode well for the function of this House – which is enshrined in the Constitution – that issues of national significance are discussed in the press before the oversight arm of the state has had an opportunity to engage these plans.”
On Wednesday, Mkhize appeared before Parliament’s health committee and outlined the government’s readiness to deal with the coronavirus outbreak. He said 13 public hospitals had been identified to deal with any outbreaks. The minister told MPs that the department had ensured that all ports of entry had screening machines and thermal screening gadgets and they had ensured that immigration officers were equipped with masks.

Cause This viral disease is soilborne and transmitted by the oomycete, Olpidium virulentus (formerly known as O. brassicae). Mirafiori lettuce big-vein virus (MLBVV) (formerly known as Mirafiori lettuce virus) has been recently identified as a causal agent of big vein while Lettuce big-vein associated virus (LBVaV) (formerly known as Lettuce big-vein virus), previously thought to cause big vein, is yet to be confirmed as a causal agent. Both viruses are commonly associated with big vein affected lettuce plants so both may play a role. Wet, cool conditions favor the fungus-like vector, which has a very wide host range. The virus can survive at least eight years in soil within resting sporangia. Uninfected vector strains acquire the virus upon entry in infected plants. New plantings may develop the disease due to weedy hosts acting as reservoirs of the vector and/or virus, including sow thistle (Sonchus oleraceus) and perhaps Chenopodium spp. Various species of Lactuca as well as Chicorium endivia (endive) are affected by big vein. Both MLBVV and LBVaV were detected in leaves of lettuce, garland chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum coronarium), tomato, and eggplant while MLBVV has been reported in cucumber, and LBVaV in onion, Welsh onion (A. fistulosum), and Chinese chive (A. tuberosum).
Symptoms Leaf veins appear decidedly larger because of clear areas along the veins. Leaves may be puckered and mottled. Heads fail to size up. Often only a rosette of leaves forms, but no head. Low temperatures favor the disease; it is evident in early and late crops much more than in midsummer crops.
- On badly infested land, use long rotations.
- Avoid early planting in wet soil or poorly draining fields with a history of disease.
- Select land not previously planted to lettuce, if possible.
- Removing crop residue, rather than working it into the soil, prevents increase of the disease.
- Steam treatment of soil for seedbeds or in the greenhouse will reduce the population of vector and virus.


Data has become a powerful tool for businesses across all sectors. Business owners are able to use it in multiple departments to gain valuable insights that help promote a better future for them.
As more businesses seek to leverage the power of data, the demand for big data consulting services continues to grow. Many consulting firms offer to help businesses navigate the complex world of data management, analysis, and visualization.
Some of the most sought-after services include developing a data strategy and architecture, implementing data governance and compliance policies. However, selecting the right big data consulting company is critical to the success of a big data project.
When seeking consulting services for big data, you need to carefully evaluate the capabilities and expertise of potential partners. This will help keep you on the right track in making the right pick for your needs.
In this article, you will learn the key factors your businesses should consider when selecting a big data consulting company.
Table of Contents
What is Big Data Consulting?
This is a service involving the collection and analytics of large data amounts from your business and the third party or market sources on behalf of your business. Data consultants help to develop and implement plans and strategies to streamline and optimize data systems.
Big data consultants evaluate your systems and technologies and help you identify ways to use them for business growth.
One benefit of data consulting is keeping you up to date with current data trends, tools, and industry changes you need to stay competitive in business. Having a reputable big data consultation partner will ensure you use your available data in the best possible ways for business decisions.
Here are 5 tips to look for in a big data consulting partner:
1. Expertise and Experience
The first thing to look for in a big data consulting company is expertise and experience. You want to work with consulting firms with a team of experienced data scientists, data engineers, and data analysts who have a deep understanding of data technologies, tools, and techniques.
Your businesses should look for a company that has a track record of success in working within your niche or industry. They should have solid industry specific knowledge and understanding of creating robust strategies that help solve complex data-related problems.
Industry knowledge is such an essential factor because a company with more experience working in the same industry as the business will be better equipped to understand the unique challenges and opportunities of that industry.
In any case, they have encountered all situations and possible outcomes and can quickly and effectively deal with such data complexities.
Besides, this level of understanding of a particular sector can help the consulting company to identify the most relevant data sources, design appropriate data architecture, and develop the most effective analytics models.
2. Services Offered
Big data consulting services offer a range of services that can help businesses gather insights from their data to achieve their goals. To determine the best services to meet a business’s specific needs, it’s important to consider the different options available.
One such service is data strategy and architecture development. This involves aligning data goals with business objectives to create a roadmap for achieving success. Meanwhile, you can analyze models and tools development to extract insights from data. while data governance and compliance policies implementation can ensure data privacy and security.
Data science and machine learning are also important services that can help businesses develop predictive models. These models are perfect for identifying new ways to expand or move ahead.
Services like cloud computing, infrastructure design, and implementation can help in creating scalable, secure, and cost-effective data solutions.
Other services include providing business intelligence and reporting for actionable insights and visualizations. This can only be achieved if the company also offers data quality management for accurate and reliable data through effective extraction, transform, and load (ETL) integration.
3. Flexibility and Customization
There’s no one size for all when it comes to business data needs. Therefore, a consulting company should be flexible and able to customize its service offering to your specific needs.
Your business is unique and has its own set of challenges and goals. Your big data consulting partner should be able to adapt to the specific needs of the business.
Getting customized solutions that address your business needs will ensure the strategies are in place to help boost your growth plan and not derail it.
For instance, customized services may include adapting the data architecture to accommodate specific data sources or developing custom analytics models to address specific business questions.
4. Project Management and Communication
A big data consultant is not a mere service provider but a business partner. The nature of their job is to interact with some of the most intimate and private details about your business and industry.
That makes customer relations and communication a critical matter when dealing with a consultant. Work with firms with clear and well-defined communication channels.
Good communication is something you should be able to identify from the first email, call, or meeting. Proper communication sets the pace for timely project delivery and resource utilization.
You need a partner who will keep you informed of project progress clearly and promptly.
5. Data Security and Privacy
Having to share your business data with a third party requires a high level of trust. The consulting company should have strong policies on how they intend to protect your data.
This includes using encryption and access and user authentication protocols while complying with industry standards and regulations related to data privacy and security.
In the era of numerous cybersecurity threats and hackings, data privacy and security should be at the top of your qualifications list.
Selecting the right big data consulting company is critical to the success of a big data project. Hopefully, the factors discussed above have given you some insight into what you need to look for when choosing a big data consulting firm. But apart from the knowledge and experience in the industry, they should be a trusted business partner.

With each pet, I collect basic health information. I am able to work long distance, since all I need is a photo of the animal to connect with them. Like medical intuitives who connect in a special way with humans, I connect with each animal telepathically and use kinesthetics to test their response to my questions. I am able to go into an animal's autonomic control system, the equivalent of their body's mainframe computer, to find out what's working, what isn't working, and what the pet is willing to have changed.
While veterinarians will make referrals to me as an adjunct to their work, please be aware that intuitive work does not replace responsible veterinary care.
My cat has allergies. She’s been taking medication to control it for years. Anytime she comes off the medication, the allergies return. Does she have to spend the rest of her life of the medication?
Allergies have several sources. They can be something the cat inhales, something they eat or something they come into contact with, such as bedding or carpeting.
Knowing what triggers the allergies gives you a much better opportunity to change things in your cat’s environment to stop the reactions.
Radiant Animals can help identify the specific source of allergies and reset your cat's system to stop their reaction.
I love sleeping with my cat, but her breath is lethal. What can I do to help make her breath less smelly?
A healthy cat smells good. Their fur smells clean and their breath is tolerable, with perhaps overtones of their last meal.
Foul breath means an immediate trip to the vet to ensure the cat is healthy. Bad breath is often a sign of cavities, abscesses and other mouth problems. Any of these can shorten your cat’s life. Your vet can also teach you how to care for your animal's teeth.
A healthy cat has few mouth problems. Radiant Animals uses natural methods to uncover hidden health issues and restore your cat to optimal health.
I’m getting married. I have a cat, my fiancé has a dog. Both animals are 10 years old. How do we ensure that they are as happy as we are with the new family structure?
Congratulations! If both the dog and the cat are going to a new home they both will need to be slowly and gently introduced to their new space. If you are bringing one animal into the home of the other animal you need to make the introductions slow and easy so both animals feel safe.
Radiant Animals successfully accelerates the integration process. We help animals integrate into their new homes and bond into a new family structure.
I’ve had two cats for 3 years. They used to get along just fine. All of a sudden the male started beating up on the female. She’s afraid to come out from under the bed now. What can I do? They are both altered.
Cat aggression after being peaceful for years can be caused by several things.
Are both cats healthy? A check up for both cats is your first step.
Next — rule out external stimuli. If animals are roaming outside the windows your inside cat may be using his housemate as the surrogate for those he cannot reach. Redirected aggression is potentially quite dangerous to everyone in the household.
Radiant Animals can help reduce both the anxiety and the aggression in your cats and speed up their re-integration into one harmonious household.

At 2663 miles (4286 km) in length, the Pacific Crest Trail is one of the longest and most spectacular hiking trails you could ever hope to trek. Stretching from the Mexican border in the south to British Columbia in the north, passing through the Sierra Nevada and Cascade mountains in the process. Those who have hiked the trail say that it is amongst the most beautiful places on the planet and judging from the video below, it is difficult to argue with that assessment.
Thanks to my friend Rick McCharles from Best Hike for sharing this.

What is Everybody Knows age rating?
The British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) gives Everybody Knows a 15 age rating.
This means no one younger than 15 may see a 15 film in a cinema.
The BBFC cits strong language as its reason behind the rating.
There are also milder terms, but bear in mind they are in Spanish with English subtitles.
There is also moderate threat associated with a kidnapping.
In America, the thriller, whose original Spanish title is Todos lo Saben, the movie is rated R.
R ratings mean anyone under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian.
The plot synopsis of Everybody Knows reads: “Laura and her two children travel from Argentina to Spain to attend her sister’s wedding.
“The joyful reunion soon turns tragic when her older daughter gets kidnapped — revealing a dark web of hidden secrets.”
Written and directed by Iranian filmmaker Asghar Farhadi, Everybody Knows is a French-Spanish-Italian co-production.
The movie will play in the UK with English subtitles for those who do not speak Spanish.
The cast stars Penélope Cruz (Vicky Cristina Barcelona) as Laura, Javier Bardem (No Country for Old Men) as Paco, and Ricardo Darín (The Secret in Their Eyes) as Alejandro, Laura’s husband.
The film was written and directed by Iranian filmmaker Asghar Farhadi.
Everybody Knows has a 75 per cent fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
Its critics’ consensus reads “Everybody Knows is somewhat less than the sum of its parts despite the efforts of an outstanding cast – and a disappointing step back for writer-director Asghar Farhadi.”
Reviews, however, are overall more positive in tone than the consensus reads.
Everybody Knows is a French-Spanish-Italian co-production, which began in August 2017.
Everybody Knows received eight nominated at the 33rd Goya Awards.
These included: Best Film, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best Original Screenplay, Best Editing, and Best Original Song.

Microsoft invests $30 million Rhythms NetConnections, and will provide Rhythms a Microsoft Network-branded portal page for its business customers.
The deal is Microsoft's first with one of the new high-speed digital subscriber line (DSL) startup companies. It is also the latest example of the software giant's push into broadband.
The announcement adds considerable momentum to the two-year-old Rhythms, which won another $30 million stake from MCI WorldCom in January. The company also filed last month to raise close to $165 million in an initial public offering of shares.
Microsoft previously has spent hundreds of millions of dollars investing in cable-based companies, including Comcast and the Road Runner high-speed cable Net coalition. It recently invested $200 million in Qwest Communications International in a deal analysts said would help create a new distribution network for its business software.
The agreement comes as other Web portals are looking for ways to carry their content brands into the broadband world. America Online recently has signed deals to carry its service over Bell Atlantic and SBC Communications' high-speed Net lines, while Excite agreed to merge with high-speed cable service @Home Network.
Today's deal is the Microsoft Network's first foray into broadband.
The agreement is much more business-focused than the other portal deals, however. Rhythms caters primarily to telecommuting, small business and corporate clients, and the new MSN deal will focus on creating a co-branded start-up site for these clients.
In its early stages, the portal pages will essentially be the existing MSN service, offering such features as free email from Microsoft's Hotmail and use of the company's Passport electronic wallet technology. Further down the line, the company said it plans to integrate multimedia capabilities such as videoconferencing into the pages, along with a kind of "virtual laboratory" that allows client companies to test or showcase other high-bandwidth applications.
Microsoft does plan to move the rest of MSN squrely into the high-speed world, however.
"The business audience is an exciting one for us, and it is one we have been making more moves towards and migrating to," said Jeff Sanderson, general manager of strategic partnerships for MSN. "But clearly moving consumers to broadband is one of our missions."
Rhythms is one of a handful of small, data-focused competitors to the traditional telephone companies that have sprung up in the last several years. As with rivals like Covad Communications and NorthPoint Communications, the firm offers high-speed Internet access over DSL.
DSL is a technology that allows existing telephone lines to be used simultaneously for high-speed Internet access and voice calls. It has won slower consumer acceptance than has cable Internet alternatives, but has picked up speed in recent months as the big telcos have begun rolling out their own services more at a faster clip.
Rhythms is scheduled to go public later this month, according to investment bank Hambrecht & Quist, a co-manager of the offering.

Excellent Value for money Product, saves lot of time

Give due and proper recognition to those who contribute significant inputs or make achievements in their profession. How do you do that? Well, by awarding people with some well-made certificates that you can choose from our professional Real Estate Certificate Templates. These easily editable certificate samples are available to download in both desktop and smartphones. They are also available in a variety of file formats like Adobe Photoshop, Microsoft Word, and Apple Pages. Don’t delay, subscribe, and start downloading now!
Whether it’s for a fully-fledged broker or a trainee, a certificate serves as a suitable piece of tangible recognition for outstanding work in construction real estate. After all, as described by Merriam-Webster, a certificate serves as official written proof of someone’s achievement in a particular field.
However, maybe you’re not sure about how to go about making one. If so, no worries—just have a quick read through our tips (below) on creating a certificate!
Go ahead and open a new file/document in your chosen processing software (e.g., MS Word, Apple Pages, and so on). Before putting together the actual content of the certificate, it’s important to first pick which orientation to use and measure how large the margins will be. For the orientation, certificates are usually set to landscape style, but going with a portrait orientation can also work. And, if you plan on framing the certificate before presenting it, make sure to set the margin appropriately to prevent the content from being obscured.
For the aesthetics of your academic or non-academic certificate, choose a graphic design for either a background or a border. Going with both could work, but you’ll need to make sure the colors and design for the background are subdued enough to make the border pop out. Ensure that the border also stays within the margins; though, for the background, keep it stretched over the whole page.
The next part to work on in your document is the written content. You’ll have to add text boxes by using your preferred application’s specific option for it (most likely under an Insert tab). Align the text boxes in the center of the page and resize them as needed. The title/header and the awardee’s name are usually made to be the largest text in an award or appreciation certificate.
Lastly, adding the logos of one or several associated companies/organizations might be necessary. When inserting the image files, position them in one of the upper corners, in the top center, or beside one of the text boxes in the middle. Remember to use graphics files that have a transparent background.
A certificate is a document that contains officially recognized information about a person’s achievement or mastery.
No, a degree is used for completing academic studies.
For printing a certificate, parchment paper should be used.

Social Assistance Benefits and European Coordination
Department of Economics Research Memorandum 2015.02, Leiden University.
36 Pages Posted: 19 Aug 2015
Date Written: August 17, 2015
A number of studies suggest that the Europeanization process has a profound impact on national labour market policies, but fairly little research has been devoted to the development of social assistance benefit schemes across countries and over time. Relying on two new indicators, benefit levels and replacement rates, we examine the impact of the Lisbon Strategy on national social assistance policies. We find no robust effects for the first years of the Lisbon Strategy. However, after its re-launch in 2005, the Lisbon Strategy has significantly contributed to increases of national social assistance benefit levels. In addition to the Lisbon Strategy, domestic political, institutional and several economic factors also have a significant impact on social assistance benefits.
Keywords: social assistance benefit replacement rates, open method of coordination, Lisbon Strategy, Europeanization, welfare state reform

Introducing Kryze: “I like to play really aggressive”Posted by News 11 December 2018 in
A versatile toplaner with knowledge of many different playstyles is one of the most important things in an ever-changing meta, and that description fits Östersund FK:s toplaner Kryze just right.
Playing everything from Swain to Riven and the standard tanks in the Swedish Esports League he hopes to help the team reach new heights in 2019.
Name: Felix “Kryze” Hellström
What I do other than League: Running and hanging out with friends.
Rolemodel: Bwipo and TheShy.
Let’s start by talking about your playstyle. How would you describe it and what are your favorite champions?
– I usually play scaling carries or tanks, so for the most of the time I’m just chilling in lane. However I do like to play really aggressive. If I could compare myself to someone it would be sOAZ, I feel like him and I have the same playstyle, and I wish I could be as good as him in the future!
– Akali was one of my favorite champions because of her unique kit and playstyle, but after the rework she doesn’t feel the same and I rarely play her. Another favorite champion that I have been playing a lot is Riven. That might be because of her outplay potential and flashy plays.
When did you start playing the game, and what has been your competitive experience before joining Östersund FK?
– I started playing league in season 2 because a friend recommended it and I finished the season silver. In season 3 I reached diamond for the first time and since then it has only been improvement. I have been playing in some amateur teams over the years but none as big as this!
What are your goals for 2019 and how will you achieve them?
– I’m just hoping we can get far and that we can improve as a team! For me personally I’m always looking for my own mistakes and trying to fix them.
Lastly, what would be your advice for players out there that want to get better at the game?
– Look at your own gameplay after the game, that’s a common way to improve. But the most important thing is just playing a lot.

Exploring Koh Tao
Koh Tao is known as the divers island. One of the most quiet islands of the group. Still the island accommodates many tourists, so do not expect a Robinson-like experience. The island has several beach-front restaurants and bars, and in the evening you can take a stroll through the small streets near the beach where all merchandise is displayed on the sidewalks and where the shops are. Drink a cocktail or have some dinner at one of the many open beach spots on the sand and watch the sun go down. You will meet a lot of backpackers along the way on Sairee beach. Do you prefer a more quiet beach? Try Sai Nuan beach.
Picture: Sairee beach, Koh Tao
Diving at Koh Tao
Most of the dive- schools are located at the big beach Hat Sai Ri. You can take dive lessons there or even get your Padi. Also for snorkeling there are a lot of possibilities. The island is surrounded by clear waters, reefs and small islands. All in all a perfect place to discover the underwater world through diving or snorkeling.
Viewing points at and around Koh Tao
The island has two spectacular viewpoints: John Suwan viewpoint and Mango viewpoint. To reach Mango viewpoint, a serious climb is required. The John Suwan viewpoint is more easily accessible.
Another amazing viewpoint is located on the nearby tiny island Koh Nang Yuan. On Koh Tao you can easily book a day trip to Koh Nang Yuan. The walk to the viewpoint is not an actual climb, but you have to have some stamina, or just take your time. Note that the beach looks lovely, but in reality, it is usually packed with day-trip tourists. For our blog on Koh Nang Yuan, click here.
Picture: Viewpoint at Koh Nang Yuan
How to get there
From Bangkok, you can catch a (night) train or bus to Chumphon, a southern Thai province. At Chumphon, you can catch a ferry to the islands such as koh Samui, Koh Pagnang and Koh Tao. The ferry organization ‘Lompraya’ is the most well-known and has the fastest boats. To book your Lompraya ferry tickets, click here. Practical tip: if you arrange your boat ride back on the island once there, make sure that they sell you a ticket with the fast boat, otherwise you will end up on an old boat which takes hours to arrive back at Chumphon.
Hey, but wait! What about Chumphon?!
It is worth mentioning that the Chumphon region itself is worth a visit too if you would like to escape touristic Thailand. In Chumphon, you can explore for days without bumping in to any foreigners. Perhaps spent a few days in Chumphon before heading off to the islands.

Ambitious programs to build a major airport near Koo Wee Rup have been described as Melbourne’s response to Sydney’s Badgerys Creek task. Paragon Premier Investment Fund has said it wants to construct the commercial airport terminal at a niche site between Koo Wee Rup and Lang Lang. The airport was said by it could be working cargo flights by 2020, followed by home and international services. Aviation consultant Neil Hansford, that has advised on airport development, said Melbourne needed a significant domestic airport to supplement Tullamarine, and Avalon Airport, near Geelong, could not fulfil that role because of its location. Melbourne’s south-east has been referred to as a much better location than Avalon for Melbourne’s No.2 airport terminal.
The authorities last month said it would build Sydney’s second major airport terminal at Badgerys Creek to service the city’s flourishing western suburbs, finishing years of dispute within the project. Avalon is an airport terminal, but it has not been able to appeal to overseas flights and serves only low-cost carrier Jetstar on routes to Sydney, Hobart, Adelaide and the Gold Coast. Melbourne Airport’s chief executive said the other day that Avalon was too near to Tullamarine to be Melbourne’s No.2 airport.
The airport terminal would initially be how big is Canberra Airport. However, he said there wouldn’t normally be demand for international flights or cargo from a south-eastern airport terminal for another 10 to 15 years. Paragon has said it desires to focus on cargo when the airport opens – particularly to ship fresh agricultural produce from Gippsland to overseas markets – and start passenger flights soon after.
The privately funded Wellcamp Airport in Toowoomba, Queensland, opened in 2014 with the intention of being a base for fresh food exports, while Qantas Freight is trying to establish shipments of fresh dairy from Tasmania to China. Noel Campbell, a dairy farmer whose Yannathan property is approximately eight kilometres of the suggested airport terminal site east, said nobody will need an airport terminal built on their doorstep. Mr Campbell said he doubted the demand for agricultural exports from the airport would have a significant impact on dairy products or horticulture farmers in the area.
Mr Hansford said a fresh produce business would only be practical if the planes brought produced goods to Australia on their inbound plane tickets. He said carrying those goods would be difficult from Koo Wee Rup, because Melbourne’s distribution industry was located in the city’s western world. The proposed airport is on farmland the state government would have to rezone as commercial and commercial, and could compulsorily acquire it if it decided to back again the task. Cardinia Shire councillor Ray Brown, the region is included in whose Port Ward of the proposed site, said there have been mixed feelings among locals.

His discharge paperwork showed that he previously glasses, but nobody had bothered to take the time to find them and insure they were kept with his other personal effects. Insufficient accountability, follow-thru and attention to details, how would that representative keep their job long? My friend is home and does well now.

What is Huaishan?
Yam, also known as yam, yam, yam , yam, yam , yam, yam, sweet potato , yam, long yam, yam, noodle yam , is a climbing vine native to East Asia, especially It is used in traditional medicine in China, Japan, Taiwan and Korea for centuries.
Yam is a spindle-shaped, thick and hard root with a white interior.
Plants take three to four years to mature, although large roots can be harvested after the first year of a normally developing plant.
In terms of size, the yam can be up to 1 yard (approximately one meter) in length.
When the roots are harvested (usually in winter), the rough bark is removed before the yam is washed and dried in the shade or sun.
If you want to use it, the root is usually rehydrated in water and then cut into slices and added to various recipes.
Traditionally, yam is believed to have detoxifying and anti-inflammatory properties and can be used to relieve coughs, improve digestion, lower blood sugar levels, and improve spleen, kidney, and lung health.
Modern science has begun to explore these potential health benefits, and preliminary research suggests that yam may indeed have therapeutic effects on a variety of diseases, including diabetes, hypertension, and cancer.
This yam is also an important food source, especially in Chinese cuisine. It is a starchy vegetable that is high in fiber and low in calories. It has a mild, slightly sweet flavor and can be eaten cooked or raw.
The roots can be grated and used in salads, soups or stir-fries. It can also be boiled, mashed or roasted and served as a side dish.
Huaishan is rich in many nutrients, including
Vitamin B1, also known as thiamine, is a water-soluble vitamin and one of the 8 B vitamins. It is an important nutrient needed by the body to convert carbohydrates into fuel (glucose) and use the fuel to provide energy.
Other benefits include:
- Improve appetite and memory
- Anti-aging properties
- Prevent cataracts
- Promote proper digestion
- Prevent Alzheimer's disease
- Keep your heart healthy
- strengthen immune system
- Prevent nerve damage
Vitamin C is another water-soluble vitamin found in many foods, especially fruits and vegetables.
It is an important nutrient that helps the body form and maintain connective tissue, including bones, blood vessels, and skin.
Vitamin C also helps the body absorb iron from food and is necessary for the normal function of the immune system.
It has been shown to reduce the severity of colds and flu and may also help prevent certain types of cancer. Vitamin C is also an antioxidant that helps protect cells from damage caused by free radicals.
Slime is a substance produced by many plants. It is a thick, viscous gel-like substance that is soluble in water.
This is why yam has most of its medicinal properties.
It can help soothe and protect the digestive system, reducing intestinal inflammation and irritation.
Additionally, mucus can help bind toxins and waste products together in the intestines, helping to move them out of the body.
Mucus is also known for its ability to lower blood sugar levels. This makes it beneficial for people with diabetes or prediabetes.
Additionally, mucus can help lower cholesterol levels and improve cardiovascular health.
Finally, mucus has been shown to have anti-cancer properties. Research shows it can help inhibit the growth of cancer cells and tumors, especially those involving the colon.
Amylase is a digestive enzyme that helps break down carbohydrates into sugar. It is found in many plants, but the highest concentration is found in yam.
In addition to aiding digestion, amylase has been shown to have anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. It's also a powerful antioxidant, which means it can help protect cells from damage caused by free radicals.
In addition, eating foods containing amylase can help regulate blood sugar levels and prevent post-meal blood sugar spikes. This is especially beneficial for people with diabetes or prediabetes.
Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, and they play important roles in many body functions.
Recent research shows that yam contains high levels of essential amino acids, including lysine, threonine, and tryptophan.
Lysine is important for tissue growth and repair, while threonine helps maintain the structure of proteins. Tryptophan is a precursor to serotonin, a neurotransmitter that plays a role in mood regulation.
Huaishan also contains non-essential amino acids such as alanine, glycine, and proline. These amino acids are involved in energy production and help protect the body from stress.
Glutamine is an amino acid found in many foods, including yam. It is a building block of protein that helps repair and build muscle tissue.
It also provides other benefits, including:
Supports the immune system and promotes post-exercise recovery
Promote muscle growth and repair and prevent muscle loss
It supports the immune system and helps prevent or treat infections
Promotes exercise recovery and can improve athletic performance
Gut Health: Glutamine is important for gut health and can help treat or prevent gastrointestinal disorders such as Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, and irritable bowel syndrome.
It is also an important source of fuel for intestinal cells
Cancer treatment: Glutamine may benefit cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy or radiation therapy. It can help reduce side effects such as nausea and vomiting and improve quality of life.
Health Benefits of Huaishan
1. Relieve dry cough
Huaishan has many benefits for treating dry cough. It effectively moisturizes the mucous membranes of the lungs and respiratory system. This helps relieve irritation and improve dry cough.
Huaishan is also often rich in nutrients and antioxidants that can boost immunity and protect the respiratory system.
2. Frequent urination
Huaishan has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for many years to treat urinary tract disorders.
One study found that yam was effective in reducing the frequency of urination in people with overactive bladder. Participants who took yam also experienced improvements in other symptoms, such as urinary urgency and leakage.
Having said that, more research is needed on this. Additionally, there are many causes of frequent urination, including high blood sugar, urinary tract infections, and even pregnancy. Therefore, be sure to consult your doctor to rule out any possible causes of frequent urination
3. Reduce the risk of cancer
It’s no secret that cancer symptoms can be debilitating.
Many cancer patients report fatigue, pain, and nausea as some of the most common and distressing symptoms.
Huaishan has been shown to improve cancer symptoms in a variety of ways.
First, yam is a natural source of antioxidants. These nutrients remove harmful toxins and byproducts that can make cancer symptoms worse.
Second, yam contains diosgenin, a plant steroid with anti-inflammatory properties. This compound helps reduce pain and swelling associated with cancer.
4. Lower cholesterol
A new study finds that yam may help lower cholesterol levels.
The study, conducted by researchers at Zhejiang University, looked at the effects of yam on rats with high cholesterol.
The rats were divided into two groups, one group received Huaishan extract and the other group received a placebo.
After eight weeks, the researchers found that the mice taking the yam extract had significantly lower levels of total and low-density lipoprotein (bad) cholesterol than those taking a placebo.
Researchers believe that the mucus in yam may help reduce intestinal absorption of cholesterol. This may have potential implications for the treatment of high cholesterol in humans. However, more research is needed to confirm these findings.
Chinese yam has also been shown to combat nausea and vomiting commonly associated with cancer treatments.
5. Prevent constipation
If you're looking for a natural way to prevent constipation, try yam.
Huaishan is rich in dietary fiber, which is essential for maintaining a healthy digestive system. It is rich in soluble fiber, which softens stool and makes it easier to pass, thereby preventing constipation.
In addition to being high in fiber, yam is also a good source of prebiotics. Prebiotics are food for probiotics, the good bacteria that live in the gut.
Probiotics are important for gut health and digestion. They help keep your digestive system clean and free of harmful bacteria.
6. Helps lose weight
Recent research shows that yam can aid weight loss by regulating appetite and metabolism. One study found that mice fed a diet containing yam lost more weight than mice fed a control diet.
What are the risks in Huaishan?
Side effects of yam are generally rare but may include mild stomach upset and bloating, especially when taken in large amounts.
Anaphylaxis is also possible, although not well documented. These may include skin irritation, hives, and difficulty breathing.
If you experience any of these side effects after consuming yam, stop use immediately and seek medical attention if needed.
Huaishan can interfere with certain medications, such as hormone replacement therapy. Although yam does not contain hormones, it may exhibit some estrogen-like effects. This may interact negatively with hormonal medications such as birth control pills and hormonal therapies.
This also means that women with hormone-sensitive conditions such as breast, uterine, or ovarian cancer, endometriosis, and uterine fibroids should avoid them.

Green roofs (GRs) can be constructed by growing plants on a channel filled with suitable media, allowing the plants to grow. Wastewater can be passed through the media, and the plants will uptake the nutrients in the wastewater and purify it. GRs are one of the innovative architectural and urban development options based on sustainable development concepts that can increase urban green areas, improve environmental quality, and generate sustainable urban development. Additionally, GRs also improve building insulation and reduce cooling costs. To construct and install GRs, the following should be carried out systematically: (i) evaluate the public acceptance and relevant policies and governance, (ii) conduct a suitability study, (iii) select plants and growth media, (iv) construct the channel, fill with media and plant selected species, (iv) supply wastewater to the channel. One of the great applications of such GRs will be treating septic tank effluent, which is reaching the canals in Vietnam without much treatment and polluting the water bodies.
The guide complements a video that provides illustrations on the installation of green roofs and the outcomes of a trial conducted at Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology (HCMUT), Vietnam.

The Food and Drugs Authority has confiscated and disposed of three tonnes of expired products seized from shops across the Western North Region.
Food snacks and pharmaceutical drugs such
as Postinor 2, Aphrodisiac, Tramodol, and soft drinks, among other products, were retrieved from the shops and markets between February and December 2023.
This was disclosed by the Western North Regional Director of the Food and Drugs Authority, Albert Ankomah, who said they are ready to clear out the system of all ‘bad’ products.
“Today we did safe disposal of the proposed items that we seized during our routine checks in the shops and markets across the 9 districts in this region. The products we seized from February to December are what we disposed of.
Food snacks, pharmaceutical drugs such as Postinor 2, aphrodisiac,tramadoll, and soft drinks are among the things we seized, and all of these products, if the people had consumed them, would have been very harmful to their health,” Albert Ankomah said on Rainbow Radio Accra.
He also used the opportunity to encourage the public to be mindful of the expired products and food they buy from the market during the Christmas celebrations.
“We are still inspecting the various retail shops and warehouses to check if the products there have been approved by the FDA this Christmas period and also to check the expiration dates. We are also encouraging people to always check the expiration date of products they buy to protect themselves from consuming things that are expired.”

The pages of “Golden Days” are filled with an array of stories, activities and lessons. The stories are, for the most part, gender specific. Titles like “Philip Berkeley; or, The Master’s Gun” appealed to the male audiences while other stories like “Grandma’s Bear Story” included the subtitle ‘For the Girls.’ Many of these stories are broken up in chapters that spanned numerous issues, which was sure to make children request the next week’s publication. These stories too were not just written by strictly amateur or unknown authors but some of the most important names in children’s literature at the time including Horatio Alger, Jr., James Otis and Frank R. Stockton. Each issue also included a section entitled “Puzzledom” with number and words games and “International Lessons,” a strictly Christian devotional with a message and Bible study.
Golden Days reminds us of a time long gone when children relied on strictly stories and reading to fuel their imagination and pass the time rather than television and video games like today’s generation. Villanova is lucky to have Volume Three of Golden Days in its special collection, which includes issues from 1882 and 1883. If you want to step into the lace-up boots of a Victorian child and experience this form of popular entertainment, head over to the Villanova Digital Library and read a few issues of Golden Days for Boys and Girls.
