From Charity Off the Hook:
“Charity Off The Hook (COTH) is pleased to announce its sixth annual fundraiser will be held at the new ‘The Tavern at Ivy City Smokehouse’ on Tuesday, April 26, 2016 from 6-10 p.m. The seafood-centric celebration raises money for several noteworthy charities in the region for a night of incredible seafood and drink prepared by top chefs in the Washington, D.C. area.
This year’s participating chefs include:
Victor Albisu: Del Campo/Taco Bamba
Matt Baker: Gravitas
Alberto Bollera: The Tavern At Ivy City Smokehouse
Scott Drewno: The Source by Wolfgang Puck
Matt Hill: The Liberty Tavern/Northside Social/Lyon Hall
Mike Isabella: Mike Isabella Concepts
Bobby Jones: The Point Crab House & Grill
Haidar Karoum: Proof/Doi Moi/Estadio
Danny Lee: Mandu
Philippe Reininger: The Riggsby
George Rodriguez: Tico
Dave Stein: Tony and Joe’s Seafood Place
The ‘Off The Hook’ celebration showcases seafood products, with each chef preparing a unique signature seafood dish. This year’s emcee is John Riggins, former Washington Redskins Superbowl MVP and Pro Hall of Fame inductee.
The annual fundraiser benefits the following past and present charities: Blue Ridge Food Bank, Educated Eats, GWU Mammovan, Microgreens, Miriam’s Kitchen, National Kidney Foundation, Seafood Nutrition Partnership, The Children’s Inn at NIH and Wish-a-Fish Foundation. COTH further maintains an ongoing partnership with Washington, D.C. based sustainable seafood distributor, ProFish. Together the two organizations identify a local charity each month and ProFish donations a portion of its invasive fish sales to the designated charity. New charities announced at the event.
“It is a great opportunity for us to be able to contribute to the community and the industry in which we serve,” says ProFish owner Greg Casten. “We are also able to share with anyone who is recipient of our giving why and how seafood is an important and viable component of our ecosystem and the health benefits of eating seafood on a regular basis.”
John Rorapaugh, Co-Founder of COTH states that COTH and ProFish together strive to educate and serve the community by following the USDA/HHA Dietary Guidelines of eating seafood twice a week for optimum health.
“Unfortunately, only 1 in 5 Americans follow this guideline,” says Rorapaugh, “and it is therefore our hope that in celebrating the benefits of seafood there is increased awareness of the health, nutrition, and wellness that results by adding seafood to one’s diet.”
Along with individual chef tasting stations, the event will feature a raw bar with fresh shucked oysters, a smoked seafood station featuring product from the Ivy City Smokehouse, a beer garden on the patio, and a variety of local and regional wines at two bars.
Seafood Nutrition Partnership which collaborates with leaders in local communities to improve the health, nutrition, & wellness of their citizens. The USDA/HHS Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend eating seafood twice a week for optimum health. Unfortunately, only 1 in 5 Americans follow this guideline. These great organizations will have representatives at the event to explain their missions. As well as all the other great missions which make up the COTH family.
Here are a few of the charities involved:
Seafood Nutrition Partnership
National Kidney Foundation
The Childrens Inn at NIH
Blue Ridge Food Bank
Wish a Fish Foundation
Newest charities to be announced at the event!”

Co-writer/ director Peter Hewitt ‘s daft and wacky 2002 sci-fi family comedy tells the story of Patrick Smash (Bruce Cook), a boy born with an explosive problem but wants it to help him to fulfill his ambition of becoming an astronaut.
It also stars Brit luvvies Simon Callow, Stephen Fry, Leslie Phillips, Celia Imrie, esteemed American star character players Paul Giamatti and Ned Beatty, as well as Rupert Grint (of course Harry Potter’s carrot-top pal Ron Weasley).
A kid called Patrick Smash (Cook) is cursed with a special talent for, er, breaking wind, which makes him a star in the opera world, lands him on Death Row and eventually sends him into space. It is a great credit to director Peter (The Borrowers) Hewitt that he blasts this tiny fragment of an idea into the plot of a jolly, full-length movie without too much flatulence in the script.
With super acting from Cook and Grint as Smash’s pal and eager-to-please turns from Simon Callow, (as an opera singer who employs the hero to fart the high notes), Ned Beatty (as the US space ace), Stephen Fry and Celia Imrie, this wacky comedy is nothing to sniff at. The fab retro-look photography and Fifties-style artwork are the icing on the cake.
Obviously it is vulgar, and I wouldn’t be surprised if everybody concerned leaves it off their CV (resumé), but it is also amusing, especially for kids.
Memorable quote: ‘ You’ve got a heart of gold. You’ve got the constitution of an ox. And you’ve got pants… of thunder.’

Michael R. Zalewski
b. July 26, 1956
Chicago, 23rd Ward Alderman (1995-)
Chicago, 23rd Ward Democratic Committeeman (2005-)
Michael Zalewski, protege of former Congressman William Lipinski, became alderman in 1995 when he was slated by Lipinski over sitting Alderman James Laski after Laski had crossed Lipinski one too many times. Laski ran for and won Chicago City Clerk instead, but was later convicted as part of of the federal Hired Truck Investigation.
Zalewski maintains a lobbying and political consulting business on the side and has been a loyal Lipinski soldier. His loyalty was tested in 2004 when Lipinski announced his retirement from Congress and plans to hand his seat to his son, Daniel Lipinski. At the time, Daniel was living in Knoxville and teaching political science at the University of Tennessee; he had not done any political work for his father since his childhood. While political observers were shocked at Lipinski's brazen push, 23rd Warders were more surprised that loyalist Zalewski–and Lipinski chief of staff Jerry Hurkes–were passed over for the seat. As a not- insignificant consolation prize, William Lipinski passed the 23rd Ward Democratic Committeeman spot to Zalewski in 2005.
Prior to election, Zalewski served as deputy commissioner for the Department of Streets and Sanitation under Mayor Richard M. Daley. Zalewski, whose ward’s prime economic driver is Midway Airport, currently chairs the Aviation Committee. He served as President Pro Tempore under Mayor Daley in 2009. Backed by Illinois House Speaker Michael J. Madigan’s organization, Zalewski has rarely had a tough re-election contest. He won 71 percent of the vote in 2007, 53 percent of the vote in 2011, and 67 percent in 2015.
His mostly residential ward was redistricted to be mostly Latino and now barely resembles the one-time Lithuanian and Polish stronghold. His son, Michael J. Zalewski represents the 21st District in the Illinois House of Representatives. Prior to this past election cycle, Zalewski was the only alderman of Polish descent on City Council. He’s now joined by Susan Sadlowski-Garza (10) and Raymond Lopez (15), who is part Polish.
Current Chicago City Council Committees:
- Committee on Aviation, Chairman
- Committee on Budget and Government Operations
- Committee on Committees, Rules and Ethics
- Committee on Economic, Capital and Technology Development
- Committee on Finance
- Committee on Health and Environmental Protection
- Committee on Workforce Development and Audit
Important Political Events
- 1995, Elected 23rd Ward Alderman, replacing James Laski
- 2005, Passed over for 3rd District Congressman slating for Daniel Lipinski
- 2005, Appointed 23rd Ward Democratic Committeeman by Ward precinct captains, replacing William Lipinski
- 2008, Elected 23rd Ward Democratic Committeeman
- 2008, Appointed of son Michael J. Zalewski to State Representative

DRONES/SMALL UNMANNED AIRCRAFT SYSTEM (SUAS) RESTRICTIONS IN COMBAT CENTER AIRSPACE
Responsibilities as a Drone Operator
All small unmanned aircraft system (sUAS), or “drone” operators are responsible for understanding the rules and regulations for safely flying their drone in the National Airspace System (NAS). Operators are responsible for damage or injury caused by their use, including activities that could cause endangerment or interference with aircraft in flight. Hobbyist and business users both have responsibilities for the safe and regulated use of drones, including registration and certification requirements.
For specific regulations and guidelines on operating drones, visit the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) UAS website, “Getting Started,” at www.faa.gov/uas/getting_started for the latest rules, guidelines, and instructions for registration and certification. Another resource for information is www.knowbeforeyoufly.org.
sUAS Restrictions at the Combat Center
Restricted Airspace (RA) supports training exercises at the Combat Center that include live-fire and combined-arms activities. This restricted airspace, known as the R-2501 complex, covers the majority of the installation, including Combat Center Mainside and Camp Wilson areas.
Operation of any sUAS/drone is strictly prohibited in the installation’s airspace without express permission of the Commanding General MAGTFTC/MCAGCC. Any unauthorized drone activity in the installation’s airspace puts Marines and aircraft in danger, and degrades training quality; violation of this restriction can lead to legal action. Operators who do not comply may incur criminal charges under 49 USC 46307. In addition to airspace over the Combat Center, drone use is prohibited within active Temporary Special Use Airspace (TSUA) and Controlled Firing Area (CFA) adjacent to the R-2501 in Johnson Valley. Drone operators are encouraged to check Notices to Airmen (NOTAMs) prior to flight operations and to call the Command Duty Officer at 760-830-7200 or Range Control (BEARMAT) on frequency 127.125 for the status of all SUA.
If you have questions about drone use at the Combat Center or observe noncompliant drone activity in the Combat Center airspace please call us at 760-830-3737 day or night.

Chris Borland’s sudden retirement has caused a big stir among NFL observers, with some declaring this is a harbinger of the end of the game as we know it, forecasting a future mass exodus by players.
Others say Borland is an outlier who does not represent the future of the league. Many have supported his decision; some have criticized it.
In the end, it’s his decision — neither right nor wrong, just a personal choice he is entitled to make. (Although, if he always planned to play just one season and did not tell the 49ers or anyone else, that clearly was a selfish move and the 49ers certainly should make him repay the rest of his signing bonus.)
But the league is not ending any time soon. There will be no rush to the doors by all of the league’s current and future players. One man’s decision — certainly not the first or last such premature retirement — won’t change the game in some major way.
But it might change how teams evaluate players.
The Seahawks are already ahead of the curve on that one. They have made a point to focus as much on the psychological profiles of players as on talent.
Continue reading Hawks already try to identify Borlands →
As the New Orleans Saints continued to revamp their roster Friday with yet another trade, the Seahawks — still basking in the glow of the deal that brought tight end Jimmy Graham from the Saints — simply looked within.
The news that impacted them was of players signing elsewhere, but they don’t care. No one will miss Bryan “Wave It Off” Walters, who signed with Jacksonville, and the Hawks didn’t need Shelley Smith, who got $5.65 million over two years from Denver or Stefen Wisniewski, who is a possibility but not a pressing need.
Pete Carroll has said several times this week, including on KJR Radio on Friday, that the Seahawks feel comfortable with some of their young linemen (Alvin Bailey, Patrick Lewis, Garry Gilliam, Keavon Milton, et al.) and think the draft is full of good linemen. Expect the Hawks to use at least two of their 11 picks on big guys.
They can only hope to come up with another J.R. Sweezy, the 2012 seventh-rounder who has played so much that he received $260,000 in performance bonuses from 2014 and got a CBA-mandated bump to a $1.54 million salary this year (as did Russell Wilson).
Continue reading Carroll discusses his roster & Hawks watch comp picks add up →
Without a doubt, the worst part of the Seahawks last season was the return game — which is why many fans are taking notice every time a team cuts a return specialist these days.
In the last few days, Ted Ginn Jr., Jacoby Jones and Reggie Bush have been cut, but Seattle fans shouldn’t get too excited about any of them. The Hawks can do better.
They certainly need to.
In 2014, they ranked 30th in kickoff returns, at just 21 yards per attempt. And they were 25th on punts, at seven yards.
It was the most pathetic combined return performance by a Seattle team since the 2005 unit, which averaged 27.8 total yards behind kick returner Josh Scobey and punt returner Jimmy Williams and coincidentally also lost the Super Bowl.
You know you are horrible when (a) Bryan “Wave It Off” Walters is your best return guy, (b) it’s a victory just to hold on to the ball and (c) a touchback is typically your best kick return.
Continue reading The return games were pathetic, but free agents aren’t the answer →
If the Seahawks don’t go with big men with their first two draft picks, we have a good idea who their other top candidates will be — now that the Combine is finished.
The Seahawks love speed in the first two rounds. In 2010, it was Earl Thomas (4.43 in the 40) in the first round and Golden Tate (4.42) in the second. In 2012, they picked Bruce Irvin (4.50) in the first and Bobby Wagner (4.45) in the second. In 2013, they traded their first-rounder for Percy Harvin (4.41) and picked Christine Michael (4.43) in the second. And last year they traded out of the first and grabbed Paul Richardson (4.33) in the second.
The only non-speedsters the Hawks have taken in the first two rounds have been left tackle Russell Okung (first round, 2010), left guard James Carpenter (first, 2011) and right tackle Justin Britt (second, 2014).
You get the idea where the Hawks are looking with their top two picks: If it’s not an offensive (or perhaps defensive) lineman, it’s going to be a guy with wheels (i.e., sub-4.5 speed).
Continue reading Hawks love speed in first two rounds, so who are their top options? →
The Seahawks have played — and won — more games than any team in the NFL the past three seasons.
By the time they reached Super Bowl XLIX, their defense was a shadow of itself — six key defenders on injured reserve or out of the game by the end and the Legion of Boom fighting through major injuries. Those issues played no small part in their 28-24 loss to the Patriots.
The Seahawks put 17 players on IR — fourth most in the NFL. John Schneider did a great job making moves to keep the Hawks in the hunt, but the injuries on both lines, in the secondary and at tight end affected Seattle throughout the season.
So, as Seattle coaches and personnel people arrive in Indianapolis for the Combine this week, their major goal clearly is to find players who could improve the team’s depth across the board, with an eye to replacing future free agents as well.
Continue reading Seahawks’ needs haven’t changed in a year →
A major myth has been propagated across the Pacific Northwest and the NFL in recent months. You know, the one that says the Seahawks need Marshawn Lynch in order to win a Super Bowl.
(This is completely separate from the idea that the Seahawks would have won Super Bowl XLIX if they had run Lynch one last time.)
The Hawks have been partly guilty themselves of spreading the nasty rumor, with Pete Carroll and John Schneider talking him up as a core player. They consider him such a key piece that they have offered the soon-to-be 29-year-old a pay raise and extension.
There is nothing wrong with that — they can fit it under the cap nicely and not lose much even if he does walk away after 2015 — but the fact is the Hawks don’t really need Lynch.
Continue reading Lynch is a study in sentimentality: Hawks don’t really need him →
We’ve already looked at what the Seahawks need to do on offense — from their shaky situation at wide receiver to an “out of the box” option for Russell Wilson’s contract to the need to determine the future of the unit this offseason.
The defense does not need nearly as many major renovations, but they certainly have some work to do on that side of the ball. Here’s a look:
Continue reading Not as many decisions to make on defense →

Hello Richview! The student council is looking great this year and with Covid restrictions lifting bit by bit, we might be able to have some great in-person events! I got a chance to speak with this year’s grade 10 representative, Samantha Chin, who gave us some intel on how the student council is looking and what some of their great plans are.
Samantha tells us that last year we didn’t get to do many of Richview’s great traditions and this year they are hoping to do them in person if the Covid restrictions lift. Regarding pep rallies and dances, she says that the restrictions right now are about 25 people max in the gym. This makes it hard to accomplish doing these activities, but they are hoping that with people getting vaccinated at quick rates we may be able to do these events soon. (Get vaccinated, Saints!!!)
Samantha mentioned that any grade 10s (or even 9s) who have any ideas or opinions on school happenings can come speak with her.
“I’m open to bringing anything to the Student Council that anyone would like to happen this year,” Chin states. She also said that she may run for Vice President or Charity & Fundraising Representative next year, so remember to vote!
Samantha believes that the student council is looking great this year.
“Everyone who is on SAC this year is involved and they want really good things for this school, everyone on it is very friendly and open, they say hi to you and make you feel welcome and like you are a part of something.”
She even let us in on some of the events the student council is planning! Samantha says that they are planning a spirit week before winter break, but not just any ordinary spirit week. You’ll have to wait and see! The SAC is also planning on running “a hot chocolate fundraiser for winter clothing items for people in need” as well as some fun get-to-know-you games. Samantha also reminds us that being vaccinated makes you safer, so it’s a great idea to get the vaccine, especially if you want to participate in extracurriculars.
Finally, Samantha said that she and the rest of the student council are hoping to have a great year. Last year the student council tried to give us some fun activities but with the strict COVID-19 protocols, not much could be done. But hopefully, this year with our new student council and relaxed protocols, we will be able to experience the real Richview with all the fun events and activities we’ve been looking forward to. Let’s stay safe to have a better year at Richview. Wash your hands, sanitize, social distance and get vaccinated!


In 2019 the Green Reapers will be going into Deep Space. In this year's game robots must be designed to pick up Hatch Panels and place them on either the Rocket or Cargo Bay. The robots can then score Cargo in the Rockets or Cargo Bay. At the end of the match additional points can be scored for getting onto different height platforms.
Watch the game animation for more details on how points are scored in Deep Space.
Over the past week and a half the team has been busy working on our strategy. After many hours of discussions the decision was made to go with a robot that can do the following:
Pick-up and deliver Hatch Panels at the low level of the Rocket and all sides of the Cargo Bay.
Pick-up Cargo from the ground and place it in the low level of the Rocket and all sides of the Cargo Bay.
Get to the third level at the end of the game.
We are currently in the design and prototyping phase. There will be two main parts of the robot:
Arm with The Claw and Alien
The arm is going to be designed flip over the top and work the same on the front and back of the robot to reduce time in turning around. The Claw will be used to manipulate The Cargo and the Alien will be used to manipulate the Hatch Panels.
Why call it The Claw?
With the space theme it only made sense to have a space themed name. The name comes from Toy Story where the aliens think of The Claw as their god.
Why call it Alien?
This is a reference to a very different alien than Toy Story. Let's just say this is a reference to a 1979 movie that has a very famous scene in it. You will have to wait for a future update to see why this name came to mind.

CHICAGO -- Amid concerns about a nationwide nurse shortage, a new study found that how many patients a nurse has to care for can be a matter of life or death.
Researchers found that patients had a greater chance of dying following surgery in hospitals where the nurses had to take care of more patients, according to the study in today's Journal of the American Medical Association.
A heavy workload also meant nurses were more likely to be burned out and unhappy with their jobs. Researchers suggested that improving nurse staffing levels would not only reduce patient deaths but would also keep nurses on the job at a time when hospitals nationwide are struggling to fill nursing positions.

Tamoxifen is a widely used breast cancer drug but some women with advanced, postmenopausal estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer
don't respond to it.
A study in Clinical Cancer Research found that the inexpensive anti-malarial drug hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) reverses resistance to tamoxifen in mice, meaning that adding HCQ to tamoxifen could provide a new treatment option for women with the ER+ subtype, which accounts for an estimated 70 percent of all breast cancers. While many of these women are treated with tamoxifen, which blocks estrogen from fueling the tumor, 50 percent of these cancers will either not respond or will become resistant to tamoxifen over time.
"Tamoxifen resistance when treating breast cancer is a big issue in the clinic, and we believe our findings provide a very promising fix to the problem," says the study's senior investigator, Robert Clarke, PhD, DSc, dean for research at Georgetown University Medical center.
HCQ was developed to treat malaria, but has since been repurposed as therapy for rheumatoid arthritis and lupus. The study is the first to test HCQ's ability to restore breast cancer cell sensitivity to tamoxifen or to a different anti-estrogen drug known as faslodex.
Both drugs are inexpensive, on the market and have a well-defined safety profile.
The research team set out to test HCQ in mice with either tamoxifen or faslodex-resistant human breast cancer cells. Previous research found that tamoxifen resistance occurs because a pro-survival pathway is switched on in breast cancer cells. HCQ functions by turning off that very same molecular pathway, Cook says.
The researchers found that the combination of tamoxifen and HCQ is more effective than faslodex and HCQ due to activities within the tumor's microenvironment.
"Faslodex and tamoxifen, while both effective as antiestrogen therapies, have different effects on the immune system thus making the combination of faslodex and HCQ less effective," says first author Katherine Cook, PhD, a postdoctoral research fellow in the tumor biology department at Georgetown Lombardi. "Many people have been trying combinations of drugs to restore the ability of tamoxifen to fight breast cancer. We believe this pairing is very worthy of additional research, as well as clinical study."

The Finest jewellery plays a vital role in everyone’s life as they resemble prosperity and prestige, which is unmatchable and can never be replaced with anything else in the world, but what if the symbol of prestige itself start blemishing?
Anything that is worth saving and cherishing over a long period of time requires constant care and attention. The same goes for jewellery, be it an antique piece of silver bracelet handed down from your great great great grandmother or the just acquired betrothal diamond ring. Without care and attention, those jewellery pieces will slowly lose their shine and radiance. What good is a jewellery that does not shine, sparkle and show itself off.

A perfect souvenir gift for cooks, foodies, or anyone who has a kitchen.
We know...we know. When you think of gifts, you don't think of kitchen towels. But the beautiful design on this set of kitchen towels will make anyone smile, even if it's their turn to wash dishes. Made of 100% soft yet durable cotton flour sack, the towels are screen printed in vibrant shades of red, yellow, and blue with water-based ink. The illustration gives "shout outs" to the dishes that Chicago is famous for like deep dish pizza and Chicago-style hot dogs.
A set of kitchen towels is a nice gift for your environmentally-conscious friends because they are kinder on the environment and more economical than paper towels. Beautiful kitchen towels like these are also a great way to wrap gifts, line bread baskets, or as place mat or napkins for messy toddlers.
29" x 29". Wash in cold water.

Wow! What a day! It started this morning with still needing to finish up laundry that I had mostly completed yesterday. Since some of the younger kids had gone swimming and “surfing” in their clothes, I needed to go ahead and wash those so that we wouldn’t be hauling sopping wet clothes all over with us. So I got up early and finished the laundry; then the Rabideaus had to work on theirs too. Meanwhile, we were both trying to use the wifi. Tom was trying to get Catholic Schoolhouse work accomplished, and I was trying to get some blogs finished and uploaded. We were both not getting much of anywhere, so I quit and Tom pursued in the hopes that he could finish.
After everything was packed up, Charlie and I took Ben and our 10 ahead to Parrsboro. We were going back to the same beach to see the high tide this morning and have breakfast. Kathy and Tom stayed at the campground to get some work accomplished. We had a delicious breakfast of yogurt with Canadian blueberries while watching the tide come in. I met an older gentleman who walked the beach most every day and stopped to tell us some about the area. After Tom and Kathy met us at the beach, we left to go to the Fundy Geological Museum that Nicholas really wanted to see. It had bones and fossils of dinosaurs that had been found in the Bay of Fundy area, many of them right in Parrsboro. We didn’t spend a whole lot of time here since we needed to get on the road and drive back to Maine.
We drove a different route out of the peninsula that we were on in Nova Scotia. It was a very peaceful scene. After making it back to the main highway, we stopped at a Costco for shopping and a quick lunch and bathroom break. Although I tried not to buy so much that it wouldn’t fit in the refrigerator, I didn’t succeed. Some of it we ate at dinner later and some just stayed in a cooler hoping for the best. After we left Costco, the van started making some strange noises. We had been noticing over the last day or two when we switched from reverse into drive that the transmission was shifting a little roughly, and now it sounded like it was going downhill quickly. We finally became concerned enough that we pulled off at an exit to talk with Tom about it and decide what we needed to do. Late on a Saturday afternoon is never a good time to have vehicle problems. Tom thought we needed to let it cool down for a little while, so Kathy and I started making dinner. We had pulled over onto a dirt road with a shipping container sitting in the middle of it and beside a closed storage unit. We let the kids out to play and set up Kathy’s camp stove to cook a delicious meal of cowboy beans. It was nice as far as a break from the road goes. We couldn’t have found a better place to break down.
Tom and Charlie finally decided that we just needed to try to keep going and make it across the border into the US since we were only about 30 minutes away.
We made it across the border without incident and drove straight to a WalMart to reevaluate.
After finding out that the campground we were supposed to be staying at the next night had availability for that night, we decided to head to that campground instead of our original destination. It was closer than our original destination of Presque Isle, only a little over an hour away and there was a Chevrolet dealership nearby. Again, we arrived there without incident, parked the campers in the campsites and settled in for the night, wondering how things would go over the next few days. We were so blessed to just make it to a campground safely. God is so good!

Only submitted Skoda Kamiq will receive a coupe-like version.February 1, 2019
So far, not a lot of details, but apparently, the company is preparing a “fashionable” modification of its compact crossover. The presentation is expected this year in the market of the Middle Kingdom.
The new Skoda Kamiq crossover is preparing to introduce a coupe-like cross. Primarily designed for the market of the Middle Kingdom. Later, the model may appear in other markets, but there is no information yet. Apparently, the debut of the new version may take place already this year at the Beijing Automobile Salon.
It can be assumed that there will be not many differences from the standard versions. The front and interior will be completely borrowed from the original. The biggest changes are to wait in the rear, where the roof will receive a more gentle slope, a rear door with a large slope, a slightly modified bumper and rear pillars.
In the technical part of the changes are not expected. Under the hood will be installed 1.5-liter “aspirated” with a capacity of up to 110 horsepower. Paired with him will be offered a classic six-speed automatic transmission or “mechanics” in five stages. Later, a turbo version may appear, but you should not wait for a full drive.
The price of a standard Kamiq in the minimum configuration is from 109,900 yuan. Most likely, the cost of the “coupe” will be higher

The passion and dedication of Grayshott Cricket Club’s volunteer groundsman Paul Roberts has been recognised at this year’s Institute of Groundsmanship (IOG) Industry Awards as Paul has won the SISGrass Unsung Hero of the Year Award.
In a prestigious ceremony at the National Conference Centre, within the National Motorcycle Museum, Birmingham hosted by talkSPORT radio presenter Mark Saggers, the award was presented to Paul by SIS Pitches’ managing director Bryn Lee, in front of an audience of more than 640 of the UK’s and Europe’s leading groundscare experts, as well as dignitaries from the governing bodies of sport and influential sports administrators.
Paul took over the care of the village cricket ground six years ago and, after attending a few cricket-related ground preparation courses, set about improving the square, outfield and surrounding area – to such an extent that the ground is well-known as being of a high standard.
Perhaps a measure of this success is the fact that more than 80 games have been played on it during the past two years. And Paul says that to see this level of enjoyment provided to so many people – the club runs four adult and 12 junior teams – is very rewarding and it’s why he volunteered in the first place!
He undertakes all the pitch maintenance routines including cutting, rolling, marking and watering, as well as providing treatments of fertilisers and iron. He also manages the end-of-season renovations and looks after two artificial strips, all the while keeping a tight rein on the purse strings.
Paul has this year also overseen work at the club’s second ground at Broxhead Common in Lindford.
Wearing other hats, he has for the last 11 years been chairman of the club, which now boasts 200 junior members and 35 adult members, and he runs the clubhouse bar on every other weekend. He also umpires and represents the club at various meetings – and says he also somehow manages to find time to go to work!
Paul contested the award with Adam Witchell of Forest Green Rovers FC, Gloucestershire.
Organised by the IOG – the leading membership organisation for everyone involved in the management of sports pitches, landscape and amenity facilities – the prestigious UK-wide IOG annual awards embrace categories of entry covering sport, young people and the environment.
The awards highlight the high standards of volunteer and professional groundsmanship, from grassroots to professional stadia level. They are judged by an independent panel on criteria that include effective use of resources, budgetary control, presentation and housekeeping standards, as well as environmental considerations.
Commenting on the high standard of award winners, IOG chief executive Geoff Webb, says: “With a record number of entries, this year’s awards continue to demonstrate the skills and passion of groundsmanship throughout the UK, at both voluntary and professional level.
“Winning an award against such stiff competition is testament to the dedication of the grounds teams and individuals whose ability to produce and maintain ever-improving playing surfaces – which, in turn, also enables more games to take place – goes largely unnoticed.”
With headline sponsorship by Rigby Taylor and Top Green, the 2016 IOG Industry Awards are also sponsored by the AELTC, Countrywide, DESSO® GrassMaster®, DLF, ECB, The FA, Headland Amenity, John Deere, Johnsons Seeds, Kubota, the LTA, Mansfield Sand, the Premier League, the RFL, the RFU, Ransomes, Redexim Charterhouse, SGL, SISGrass, Souters Sports, Sport England, STIHL, Toro and Trimax.

TOPEKA – (February 5, 2015) – More than 700 Kansas consumers may be eligible for relief under the terms of a settlement reached with HSBC, Attorney General Derek Schmidt said today.
The agreement filed today in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia provides direct payments to Kansas borrowers whose loans were serviced by HSBC and who lost their home to foreclosure between January 1, 2008, and December 31, 2012. The settlement also includes other relief for borrowers in need of assistance, such as loan modifications, new mortgage servicing standards and oversight authority to prevent future violations. Schmidt joined attorneys general from 48 other states, as well as the District of Columbia, U.S. Justice Department and U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau in the settlement.
“Our office continues to investigate the improper conduct by mortgage servicers during the financial crisis,” Schmidt said. “Today’s settlement marks another step to holding servicers accountable for these unacceptable practices and repaying Kansas consumers for the damage that was done.”
The settlement resolves alleged violations in HSBC foreclosure practices, such as robo-signing, improper documentation and lost paperwork. HSBC is required to substantially change its mortgage servicing and foreclosure practices to prevent future abuses.
The agreement’s mortgage servicing terms largely mirror the 2012 National Mortgage Settlement (NMS) reached between the federal government, 49 state attorneys general, including Kansas, and the five largest national mortgage servicers. That agreement provided consumers nationwide with more than $50 billion in direct relief, created new servicing standards and implemented independent oversight. A subsequent state-federal agreement with SunTrust Mortgage Inc. worth nearly $1 billion was announced in June 2014.
Compliance with the settlement will be overseen by the NMS monitor Joseph A. Smith, Jr. for one year. Consumers who are eligible for the cash payments will be contacted by the settlement administrator but may also contact HSBC directly for more information. For loans serviced by HSBC Bank USA, N.A., borrowers with questions should call 1-866-435-7085 or call their case manager. For loans serviced by HSBC Mortgage Services, Household Finance, or Beneficial, borrowers with questions should call 1-800-333-7023 or contact their single point of contact.
More information on this settlement and the National Mortgage Settlement is available on the Attorney General’s Consumer Protection website at www.InYourCornerKansas.org.

Due to the pandemic, wearing masks has become mandatory in many public places, including airports. Airport operators are required to monitor the implementation of this safety measure to prevent the spread of COVID-19. However, continuous monitoring of all visitors and airport workers requires engaging a lot of staff.
For this reason, airports need a smart technological solution that will allow them to monitor compliance with the face mask policy and identify violators without using additional resources.
To meet airport operators’ business needs we’ve developed an AI-powered software solution.
We’ve developed a powerful AI-based video analytics software that enables real-time face mask compliance monitoring.
The system reviews video streams generated by CCTV cameras, then isolates and organizes images in the frame into two categories: people with face masks on and norm violators.
In case a violation occurs, the software triggers alerts and sends reminders to the employees about mask-wearing.
To help airport operators minimize contacts between those who abide by COVID-19 mask-wearing and those who don’t, the system builds a roadmap of a violator.
Our customer is an airport operator that needs a software solution for automated mask-wearing abidance monitoring.
Accurate mask recognition. The system had to identify individuals in the crowd, determine if they have a face mask on and whether they wear it correctly;
Quick alerting. The software should analyze the obtained data and send a quick alert in case of a mask-wearing policy violation to trigger quick responsive action.
What was achieved:
- With the software in place, there’s no need for engaging additional staff to monitor face mask-wearing abidance;
- Continuous monitoring helps reduce the number of mask-wearing violations of up to 80%.
Using our solution, airport operators can:
- Hand over the burden of face mask compliance monitoring to the software, therefore, freeing up staff and resources;
- Correctly identify masks of any types and sizes from different angles, and distinguish them from other objects on the face such as headscarves, glasses, or hats;
- Get real-time alerts about mask policy violations, be it the absence of a mask or incorrect mask-wearing, and quickly address them;
- Send smart reminders about mask-wearing;
- Store all policy violators’ photos in a database.

While working on his handcrafted book GRFALWKV, Christopher Russell simultaneously created supplementary photographic works exploring the concepts of endings and disasters pulled from art theory, history, and pop culture. Working against traditional photography, Russell uses digital processes and scratching techniques to create scenes of calamity.
Explosion (Aperture Edition) is an example of this. With a razorblade, Russell etches intricate patterns and figures onto the surface of photographs of lens flare. The images transform into stylized explosions, fragments from scenes of an apocalyptic aftermath. The controlled chaos of his methodical process uses a visual narrative that references death and rebirth, as well as capturing the volatile nature of transience.

Driver Satisfaction Remains Stable Despite Economic Changes And Seasonal Trends
Published: March 19, 2014 / Author: Mendoza College
Should the trucking industry pay attention to levels of driver satisfaction? Yes, if trucking firms care about the bottom line, research indicates. Dissatisfied drivers are much more likely to turnover, leading to an expensive loss of experienced drivers, and necessitating high hiring and training costs for replacement drivers. To combat this likelihood, Stay Metrics has been conducting attitude surveys for drivers since 2012. A recent analysis of the data yielded surprising results.
Given ongoing turbulent economic times, and renewed economic and regulatory pressures on the trucking industry, one might wonder whether driver job satisfaction has varied over the last two years. One might also wonder whether the seasons (Summer/Fall/Winter/Spring) affect driver satisfaction, particularly given the 2013-2014 record-breaking tough winter of driving. In a recent study conducted by Dr. Timothy Judge of the University of Notre Dame using Stay Metrics survey data from over 2,300 drivers for 26 carriers, driver satisfaction for seven seasons from Summer 2012 to Winter 2014 was analyzed.

Multi Development Ukraine and Inditex recently signed a lease agreement for the lease of six brands, covering approximately 5,000 m² in Forum Lviv, Lviv (Ukraine). The six brands consist of Zara, Bershka, Pull & Bear, Stradivarius, Massimo Dutti and Oysho, covering the full range of fashion brands Inditex is developing in the Ukrainian market.
All Inditex brands are located in the main mall facilitating maximum synergy effects between the brands and making Forum Lviv a fashion destination. The Zara store will cover nearly 2,500 m² over two floors connected via an internal escalator, which will create an anchor on both shopping floors.
Inditex has risen to the top of global fashion retailers over the last years and stayed there, using its concept of fast-changing collections and rapid expansion into many markets. It entered Ukraine in 2008 and opened 46 stores up to now.
Deals with supermarket Amstor, electronics supermarket Comfy, cinema operator Planeta Kino, children entertainment operator Igroland, Polish fashion retailer LPP (four brands) and MTI retail group (five brands) are amongst the most prominent deals secured during the last year. This and the addition of the stores of Inditex is bringing the occupancy of Forum Lviv close to 75%.
Ronald Dasbach, Managing Director Multi Development Central and Eastern Europe said: “Multi and Inditex have a long history of lasting and fruitful cooperation in multiple projects around Europe and Turkey. We are glad that this cooperation can be continued in Ukraine. Bringing highly respected European brands to our project is giving both Forum Lviv and the inner-city of Lviv a great boost.”
“With the entrance of these six brands to the project it is an important signal that Forum Lviv is one of the most prominent retail developments in Ukraine. Attracting the strongest brands present in the Ukrainian market and having Zara over two levels is again a clear demonstration of the undisputed strength of Forum Lviv, Multi and her partners. With Inditex Forum Lviv will offer the state of the art shopping experience.” said Managing Director of Multi Development Ukraine Gawein Minks.

With this in mind, we love the idea of incorporating a kitchen island – complete with stylish bar stools – into your space. This provides the perfect spot for entertaining guests while you cook or catching up with a partner over a lazy weekend breakfast.
Kitchens typically contain lots of stuff. Not only that, but items concealed behind kitchen cabinets can be oddly shaped and require extra space — think food processors or stand mixers. Finding a home for your appliances while keeping them easily accessible can be tricky.
Inexpensive range hoods simply circulate dirty, stale air, while a good ventilation system will improve the quality of your indoor air. It also helps keep your kitchen cleaner and extends the life of your appliances.
The best kitchen design fades in the presence of stinky cooking odors. If you’ve ever walked into someone’s home and smelled last night’s fish lingering in the air, you’ll understand the importance of good ventilation.
Cabinetry with a matt-effect finish is making waves in the world of contemporary kitchen interiors (and we can see why). Effortlessly sleek and sophisticated – particularly in this grey tone – it makes the perfect addition to a state-of-the-art space. Pair with a statement mirrored backsplash, which makes a stylish alternative to more traditional tiles.
Our kitchens are where we cook, eat, entertain and socialize, so it’s important to create a kitchen design that ticks all these boxes – and more. For a busy family home a fitted kitchen is a bespoke solution that will offer fantastic functionality and streamline the space to make the most of every inch. If you’re on a tight budget consider revamping kitchen cabinets or investing in some new kitchen worktops to refresh the style and add years of service to the busiest room in the house.

The purpose of this book is to help you write your next literature review. This is true whether you are crafting one for an undergraduate midterm paper, a doctoral dissertation, or working on your first manuscript for a peer review publication. For years, as professors we have read the best and worst of what students have written in our classes. We have witnessed in a handful of instances, undergraduate writers write more masterfully than doctoral students. We have witnessed doctoral students write first year papers which were ready for publication. And of course, the opposite is true. This begs, the question – what makes a student a good writing. Our hope is to answer that question in our textbook designed for you the student. Good writing comes down to practice, but having a guiding framework will be helpful as you begin your next paper.
This book serves as a guide for how literature reviews are written in upper-level business courses, but the core advice and direction applies to most other disciplines. We organize the book into several sections designed to walk with you every step of the way as you write your next literature review. Importantly, we begin by describing the purpose of the literature review, and provide its use in the greater historical context of the scientific process. Second, we provide a guide on how to conduct the literature review itself, followed by detailed dissections of two types of literature reviews. Finally, we close with how to improve your command of academic writing and practical tips on how to evolve into a more complete writer.

Winston Churchill once said, “The price of greatness is responsibility.” The United States has 4% of earth’s population but produces one-quarter of the world’s wealth every year. America is the only superpower. We have aircraft carrier battle groups in every ocean, troops in 27 different countries, 16 intelligence agencies, and no one else comes close to our power projection capabilities. If we cut back militarily, our national wealth will decline.
America is truly a great nation, and we will not continue to enjoy the benefits of freedom without our national security role. As a great nation we have global responsibilities, and that is why we are in Iraq. The conflict is not over, but 27 million people are living in freedom and I believe history will prove our cause just.
Britain was the superpower of the 19th century. Unlike the United States, they were a colonial power and believed in imperialism. That will never be America’s policy but there is a similarity. The UK was never known for its large army but they nevertheless controlled India with very few soldiers. How did they do that?
There were internal tensions and conflicts in India, and at that time the nation included Pakistan and Bangladesh. They wanted Britain’s role, and for a time it stopped their internal conflicts. The United States is a power for peace, and our role in NATO, the Korea DMZ and the Persian Gulf is wanted.
Sandy Berger, the National Security Advisor to former President Clinton, spoke a few years ago about America’s role in the world. “We cannot be everywhere and do everything. But we also cannot afford to do nothing, and be nowhere,” Berger said. Without American leadership the job will not get done. Iraq is an example of where the US had to lead in order to maintain security and maintain prosperity. We cannot hunker down if we want our children to live safely and thrive. Many people say we must be engaged in the world — but they never want us to do so when our engagement is needed.
The UN inspectors were asked to leave Iraq before President Clinton’s Operation Desert Fox in 1998. They did not return until President Bush insisted. Every intelligence agency in the world told us WMD was still present. Saddam’s high command did not realize he had destroyed the stockpiles, because it was a state secret. If President Bush lied about Iraq, then so did President Clinton, Prime Minister Blair, President Chirac and Chancellor Schroder.
Saddam Hussein did not live up to the 1991 cease fire agreement by meeting HIS burden of proof to disclose the whereabouts of the WMD. Saddam Hussein did not plan the 9/11 attack, and this was never claimed. He was a significant threat to both the United States and the Middle East peace process. The CIA did produce faulty intelligence but there were still numerous reasons to topple Saddam.
It is disappointing the news media rarely reports the direct connections between Saddam’s Iraq and numerous terrorist organizations. This was addressed in a March 2008 Pentagon-sponsored study entitled “Saddam and Terrorism: Emerging Insights from Captured Iraqi Documents.” It was based on a review of more than 600,000 Iraqi documents captured after the 2003 US invasion. The study noted “Saddam supported groups either associated directly with al Qaeda (such as the Egyptian Islamic Jihad, led at one time by bin Laden’s deputy, Ayman al-Zawahiri) or generally shared al Qaeda’s stated goals and objectives.” According to the Pentagon study, there were many terrorist and jihadist groups that Iraq’s former dictator funded, trained, equipped, and armed.
Saddam was willing to use operatives affiliated with al Qaeda, and this “created both the appearance of and, in some ways, a ‘de facto’ link between the organizations. At times, these organizations would work together in pursuit of shared goals but still maintain their autonomy and independence because of innate caution and mutual distrust.” The report says Saddam had the will to use his terrorist capabilities directly against United States.
The late Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the leader of al-Qaeda Iraq was responsible for a number of deadly attacks. He and his men trained and fought with al-Qaeda for years. Zarqawi’s network helped establish and operate an explosives and poisons facility in northeast Iraq. Zarqawi and nearly two-dozen al-Qaeda associates were in Baghdad before the fall of Saddam’s regime.

Rating; 5 stars
Summary: Courtesy of watching his mom’s relationships, Sebastian Hawkins knows what girls need to do to get a guy. He has what he considers a PHD in hooking up. When he needs extra cash for a car, Sebastian starts up an online venture as The Hook-up Doctor, to anonymously help girls land the guy of their dreams. Of course, his services don’t offer a happily-ever-after guarantee. He’s seen firsthand getting together never means staying together.
And then he falls in love…
With the last girl he would expect…
Totally not in his game plan.
Suddenly, Sebastian finds himself muddled in the game he’s always prided himself on. He can’t even pick up girls at parties anymore! Why would anyone want to be in love when it turns you into a stuttering, screwed-up, mess with really lame stalker tendencies? Stalking? Totally not his gig.
But the Hook-up Doctor won’t let himself go down easily. He’s always known how to give a girl what she wants and now it’s time to figure out what a boy wants… and he definitely plans on getting it.
Review: I finally understand what all the hype was about this book; it's amazing!
When I first started reading it I thought I'd figured out the whole plot and knew how it was going to end. But I was wrong. I love that this book honestly surprised me and wasn't at all what I was expecting.
A book in a guy's POV? So freaking awesome! I loved that we got to see things in a guy's perspective and really see what their thinking. Sebastian and Jaden are so funny and they had me laughing a lot throughout the book with their stupid jokes and corny pickup lines. Another that was great? Being in a guy's head when they start getting feelings for a girl. Haven't you always wondered what was going through a guys head when he looks at his girlfriend or maybe someone he's interested in?
Overall What a Boy Wants is a cute, fun read and I'm really happy I had the chance to read it. I liked it so much that I went straight to the next book What a Boy Needs (which is in Jaden's POV) as soon as I finished. It's only $0.99 so you guys would be missing out if you didn't give this series a chance!

Khloe Kardashian’s life seemed the most beautiful fairy tale until the cheating news hit her and everyone else on the planet. Tristan Thompson, her baby daddy allegedly cheated on her with various women this year and the last one as well.
These two have decided to stick together for the sake of their child, baby True Thompson and probably for a bunch of other personal reasons.
But, Tristan is reportedly still paying for the mistakes that he has made, and it’s not even at home.
‘Tristan is completely emotionally and physically exhausted from the cheating allegations and of course the playoffs,’ an insider told Us Weekly.
‘He is focused on winning a championship for Cleveland,’ the source continued.
His team, the Cleveland Cavaliers, have secured their spot in the NBA finals after they defeated the Boston Celtics.
Just when you thought they have a bit of time to get some rest, the Cavs will take on the Golden State Warriors today, May 31.
Kim Kardashian said that Tristan’s scandal was ‘f*cked up’ during an episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show. After her appearance on the show, Tristan blocked Kim on social media.
‘Kim is counting down the days ’till Khloe gets her sh*t together and kicks Tristan to the curb. She knows it isn’t going to work out between them, and it is only a matter of time before Khloe comes to her senses,’ an insider close to this whole dramatic situation revealed for the famous online magazine Hollywood Life.
We’ll have to wait and see what happens next with the family. Meanwhile, we wish Khloe and her baby girl all the best!

Covid-19 will have a negative impact on economies across all European regions but the recovery could be robust once the outbreak is contained, according to the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD).
The EBRD, which invests in 38 emerging economies across three continents has launched an emergency package worth an initial EUR1 billion (USD1.08 billion) to support companies suffering through the crisis.
According to the EBRD’s economists, the actual and feared impact of the coronavirus is affecting supply and demand simultaneously. The final economic impact will depend on the duration of the pandemic, as well as policy response by national authorities and governments in key export markets.
The bank said that containment efforts will lead to lower consumption of services, such as restaurants, recreation, and to some extent transportation. Household consumption will also fall, something that will be compounded by the decision to postpone major purchases.
As demand decreases, many firms will experience a sharp decrease in revenues, tightening their liquidity. Over-leveraged firms are facing an increased risk of bankruptcy.
However the banking sector could help mitigate the worst of the effects by allowing delayed payments. EBRD said this depends on the health of the banking sector, as well as the crisis measures imposed by the authorities.
Indirect effects on EBRD economies include the disruption of global supply chains, weaker foreign demand, lower oil and commodity prices and wide regional declines in tourism and travel.
The bank said that more detailed economic forecasts will be issued at the end of March.

Eggs aren’t refrigerated in Scottish grocery stores, and they don’t need to be refrigerated at home.
In America, eggs go through a washing and sanitizing process that clears contaminants, but also removes the natural protections that eggs have against bacteria, Insider’s Kelly Burch reported. This requires eggs to remain refrigerated to reduce the risk of salmonella.
In Europe, eggs don’t go through this sanitization process, so they don’t require refrigeration. The UK also vaccinates chickens against salmonella.
As an American, I wasn’t used to seeing eggs shelved next to canned goods and dried fruit instead of in the refrigerated section.

Prices for a wide range of commodities fell Monday after a new forecast of slower growth in China ramped up worries about the global economy.
The World Bank's lowered expectation for China was one of three issues that prompted investors to sell riskier assets on a day when volumes were light because of the Columbus Day holiday.
The bank revised its economic growth forecast for China to 7.7 percent from 8.2 percent, which was issued in May. It said there is a risk of a more pronounced slowdown in China than currently expected, citing weak global demand. The bank also cut its forecast for developing Asia-Pacific economies to 7.2 percent from its May forecast of 7.6 percent.
China, which is the world's second largest economy, imports large quantities of raw materials, from copper and other industrial metals to oil and agricultural products. Slower growth means demand likely will fall for commodities.
China's economic slowdown occurred as the government tried to cool an overheated economy. Its growth was 7.6 percent at the end of the second quarter, and some officials have predicted it will slow even further before it begins to recover.
Meanwhile, European finance ministers from countries are meeting as unrest continues in Greece and Spain over austerity cuts imposed to try to control debt problems. The ministers are expected to review recent developments in the region's debt crisis.
Traders are waiting for more details about efforts in both countries, along with the broader region, analysts said.
The global economic worries caused the dollar to strengthen against most currencies. Because commodities are priced in dollars, a stronger dollar makes them more expensive for traders who use other currencies.
In December contracts, gold dropped $5.10 to end at $1,775.70 per ounce, silver fell 55.5 cents to $34.017 per ounce, copper decreased 6 cents to $3.718 per pound and palladium ended down $6.25 at $656.95 per ounce. January platinum finished down $8.40 at $1,698.80 per ounce.
Most energy contracts finished lower. Benchmark crude fell 55 cents to $89.33 per barrel, heating oil declined 1.16 cents to $3.1443 per gallon and wholesale gasoline dropped 5.94 cents to $2.8931 per 1,000 cubic feet. Natural gas rose 0.7 cent to $3.403 per 1,000 cubic feet.
In other trading, key agricultural contracts were mixed ahead of the U.S. Agriculture Department's updated forecasts on supplies and demand, which is scheduled to be released later this week.
December wheat rose 3.5 cents to end at $8.61 per bushel, December corn fell 6 cents to $7.42 per bushel and November soybeans dropped 0.5 cent to $15.51 per bushel.
