A line in Sunday's box score read:
Lake, PH 1 AB, 0 R,1 H, 1 RBI
Lake is Junior Lake, a SS/3b prospect in the Cubs system. There was a time where he was every bit as highly regarded as current 21 year old phenom Starlin Castro. Just three years ago, these two shortstops were spoken in the same breath. Today, one is thriving in the majors while the other is still in Class A ball. I don't need to tell you which is which. It goes to show how much of an inexact science scouting can be.
Back in 2007, not many could have predicted how things have turned out. Let's look at the tale of the tape...
Weight: 175 lbs.
Place of Birth: Dominican Republic
Date of Birth: March 24, 1990
Cubs pro debut: DSL 2007 (Dominican Summer League)
Signed by: Jose Serra, scout
Weight: 200 lbs.
Place of Birth Dominican Republic
Date of Birth: March 27, 1990
Cubs pro debut: DSL 2007
Signed by: Jose Serra, scout
Looks pretty even with a slight edge to Lake so far based on size. Let's look at year one:
2007 DSL (Dominican Summer League)
Starlin Castro .299/.371/.371
Junior Lake .274/.341/.404
this point, we can give the slight edge to Lake in power, while Castro
showed better on-base skills. Overall, Castro had an OPS of .742. Lake's
OPS was .745 -- nearly identical.
2008 Arizona Rookie League
we see Castro start to separate himself a little. But Baseball America
still sees a lot of potential in Lake. They ranked Starlin Castro as the
Cubs #7 prospect after that season, while Lake isn't far behind at #13.
Castro is thought to be the better all-around player while Lake has the
better power potential.
The next season, the Cubs surprisingly
promoted Castro from the AZL all the way to full season High Class A
Daytona -- a huge leap. But again, Lake isn't far behind. He also skips
Short Season A ball and is promoted to full season Class A Peoria.
Now comes the fork in the road...While the Cubs expected Castro to tread water and would've been happy if he hit .260, he
instead made a great leap forward. He broke out at Daytona, made the
All-Star team, got promoted up to AA as a 19 year old and actually
improved his numbers at Tennessee, going from a .731 OPS to a .743 OPS.
Not a huge jump, but this is a 19 year old kid who jumped into a league
where he was playing with 22-23 year olds. The fact that he improved at
all was impressive. After another impressive stint in the Arizona Fall
League, he became the Cubs #1 prospect and is now, of course, about to
start his second season as the Cubs starting SS.
struggled at Peoria. His OPS was just .642. He was plagued by poor
plate discipline, walking only 18 times and striking out a whopping 138
times. For some reason, the Cubs felt they needed to promote him again.
Those reasons were probably Hak Ju Lee and Logan Watkins, highly rated
shortstops themselves, who were more than ready for full-season ball. In
2009, instead of repeating the league, Lake was bumped to High Class A
Daytona where he started poorly. Midway through May, he was struggling
mightily with an OPS of .448, due largely to a .189 batting average.
The power, once considered a strength, had all but evaporated. Only 2 of
his 17 hits had gone for extra bases. Both extra base hits were
doubles. It seemed his days as a prospect were all but over.
then Lake began to turn things around. With a huge second half last
season, he has put himself back on the prospect map. Despite his
horrendous start, Lake ended the season hitting a more respectable .264
with 9 home runs. His final slash line was .264/.333/.398 and an OPS
of .731. Not great by any means, but his strong finish has the Cubs
hoping that Lake may yet fulfill his once immense potential.
pinch hit RBI Sunday may end up being his only at-bat this spring
before he heads back to the minor league complex for the rest of
training camp, but it was enough to remind us how a prospect's fortunes
can quickly change for better and for worse. Right now, Castro is
thriving as the Cubs SS of the foreseeable future, while Lake is
struggling to retain his status as a legitimate infield prospect. 2011
will likely be a make or break year for him.

LATE QUATERNARY VEGETATION HISTORY OF SOUTHWESTERN YUKON TERRITORY
VERMAIRE, JESSE C University of New Brunswick.
Cwynar, Les C University of New Brunswick.
Late Quaternary vegetation and climate history of the southwestern Yukon is of interest to paleoecologists
as this region remained unglaciated during the last glacial period and formed the southeastern corner of the Bering land bridge (Beringia). Rampton (1971) cored Antifreeze Pond (AP), southwestern Yukon Territory, Canada, from which he obtained 7 14C bulk sediment dates and analysed the pollen. The basal dates indicate that the AP sediment record spans 30, 000 14C yr. B.P.. If this chronology is correct, AP is one of only two known lakes in the Yukon Territory with a sediment record extending into the middle Wisconsinan, a period poorly understood in southeastern Beringia. This chronology has been questioned due to a date reversal near the base of the core and the possibility of old carbon within the lake. A new core from AP has been obtained and 23 samples of terrestrial plant macrofossils have been submitted for AMS 14C dating.
Pollen, stomates, and plant macrofossil analyses of a 5 m long sediment core from AP provides a vegetation history of southwestern Yukon Territory. The use of a multi-proxy approach will provide both a regional and local signal of past vegetation. Preliminary evidence suggests that during the late Quaternary southwestern Yukon Territory underwent five major environmental shifts. The early vegetation history was
dominated by sedges (Cyperaceae) and grasses (Gramineae) along with Artemisia , Thalictrum, and Pediastrum. This period is interrupted by an interstadial inferred by an increase in Picea, Alnus, and Salix pollen along with macrofossils of Ranunculus aquatilis, Potamogeton, Chara, Sphagnum, and statoblasts of the bryozoan Cristatella mucedo. Also, conifer stomates are present during this period suggesting that southeastern Beringia may have been lightly forested. This may represent an
eastern expansion of Picea woodland into southwestern Yukon Territory during the middle Wisconsinan. Although this has been previously hypothesized, the pollen data from this region have been inconclusive. Following the interstadial is an environment again dominated by Cyperaceae and Gramineae. Few plant macrofossils, diatoms, and chironomids were recovered during this period, which may represent a hiatus in the lacustrine record. Approximately 13,000 yr. B.P., Salix pollen increases coeval to a rise in Hippuris, Eleocharis, Ranunculus
aquatilis and Potamogeton macrofossils. This period is also marked by a rapid sedimentation rate. The characteristic boreal forest vegetation, with increased Picea, Betula, Alnus, and Salix and a decrease in herbaceous pollen, developed approximately 9,000 yr. B. P. in southeastern Beringia.

Magazine journalists’ Zoe Burrell and Angela Mollard took a look at the Queen's sartorial choices on a new episode on their podcast ‘Royals’. Ms Mollard revealed the colour that the monarch loves to wear the most. Ms Burrell asked: “We’ve seen her in nearly every colour of the rainbow but is there a colour that she wears more than others?”
Her podcast co-host revealed that the colour is blue, and how this had been discovered.
Ms Mollard said: “Some number crunching went on around her wardrobe for a year.
“She wore blue 29 percent of the time, green 11 percent and then pinks and purples follow closely.
“Not sure where yellow fitted in the mix, but she does wear yellow.”
Queen's favourite colour to wear is revealed
She continued: “Everything from primrose to a citric acid kind of colour.
“She wears all colours, but particularly likes blue.
“Obviously to go with her blue eyes.”
Ms Burrell also asked what the Queen did with all her clothes after she was done with them because she seemed to always have a new outfit.
Ms Mollard revealed that then monarch actually gives them away.
She said: “She first gives them to her dressers. Angela Kelly and her whole team of dressers.
“They’re given the option of either wearing the clothing or selling it.”

The podcast host added: “But if they choose to sell it, there’s a strict condition.
“They must make sure that there is no labelling on the clothes or anything that would connect them with the Queen. There has to be no identification of them.
“Apparently though there was one jacket that was taken to a vintage, second-hand shop in Sandringham, and apparently it didn’t sell.
“Probably £1000s for the coat and I’m sure it ended up in the two quid bin in the end.
“I find that so funny. Shows that even royalty can’t shift their clothes.”

Caterpillar When I first met Dr Marc Epstein, an entomologist specializing in Lepidoptera, at the Smithsonian Museum back around 1999, he asked me if I would ever be doing images of caterpillars. My quick response was no. How could I ever start doing that since there were so many adult moths on which to focus? He replied that they were pretty amazing as well and I should consider it. Through much encouragement from the scientific community I finally started. One of the ways to acquire perfect adult moth specimens was to rear them from the eggs of captured females or from caterpillars collected in the wild. So thus began the task of learning the real life histories of the moths that I was imaging. Rearing and photographing the caterpillars was at first, and still is, by trial by error.
Some species are quite easy to handle while other species are nearly impossible. I started out by building rearing cages that I still use today. Another technique consists of making fabric sleeves that placed on branches out in the field. Finding the correct host plant is always a necessity. Some of the caterpillars in this book are local species from the area of upstate New York where I live. The majority comes from three years of collecting campaigns in Sonora Mexico between the summer 2009 and August 2011. I collected some in the wild and brought them back to the studio to photograph while I photographed others on location. I reared many of them either in the studio or in sleeves on branches in the wild at locations in the Sierra Madres.
Since my return from Mexico, I have been continuing to rear species of both local New York and Sonoran moths in my studio.

All our practitioners are trained by our Programme Manager, Karim Mbaye, a Master Drummer from Senegal. Karim’s heritage is from a long line of Griot Masters; the musicians, story-tellers, poets and oral historian of his culture. At Agida Africa, we share African heritage with knowledge, charisma and fun.
'I would just like to say how amazing you both were yesterday. The school was alive with a buzz of excitement and that was down to you guys. The children and staff alike really enjoyed it. I will be checking the school diary to see when we can fit you in again. Thank you for bringing your culture, fun and excellent to Norton-le-Moors, we feel privileged.' Kate Adams, Class Teacher
Using African drums to make memorable rhythms. ’Exploring the beat’, children are encouraged to play, sing, move and dance along with their Agida African Arts Practitioner. Drumming sessions enable children of all levels to work as one and communication is through listening and responding. These workshops are very popular and we find children embrace the whole experience. They learn a unique skill that becomes a talking point for a long time.
African folklore and ‘tall tales', from Africa, handed down to and shared by Karim Mbaye. These workshops are delivered together with percussion and/or stringed accompaniment to keep all engaged. Word repetition is used and movement encouraged. Time to express and respond is key to this activity, to give children inclusive participation. It includes encouragement of choral speaking too!
Explore, create and play - using tools and techniques to assemble, create and join materials. We encourage use of bright colours, designing objects and pictures, such as traditional African masks. In exploring West African patterns, we engage children in discussions about traditions and awareness and difference of others. Each workshop embodies positive communication, creativity and fun, leaving children with a sense of achievement.
African Drumming is an art form.
For pupils, playing African drums, accompanied by a Griot practitioner, requires little experience of playing a musical instrument and enables children to quickly feel they are making a worthwhile contribution to a musical ensemble.
Key Stage 1
Pupils should be taught to:
· use their voices expressively and creatively by singing songs and speaking chants and rhymes
· play tuned and untuned instruments musically
· listen with concentration and understanding to a range of high-quality live and recorded music
· experiment with, create, select and combine sounds using the interrelated dimensions of music
African drumming allows learners of ‘Key Stage One’, to not only be creative, but to express themselves in a natural way. Agida Africa's drumming workshops enable children to explore music in a fun and accessible way, meeting the above objectives.
Key Stage 2
Pupils should be taught to sing and play musically with increasing confidence and control. They should develop an understanding of musical composition, organising and manipulating ideas within musical structures and reproducing sounds from aural memory.
Pupils should be taught to:
· play and perform in solo and ensemble contexts, using their voices and playing musical instruments with increasing accuracy, fluency, control and expression
· improvise and compose music for a range of purposes using the interrelated dimensions of music
· listen with attention to detail and recall sounds with increasing aural memory
· use and understand staff and other musical notations
· appreciate and understand a wide range of high-quality live and recorded music drawn from different traditions and from great composers and musicians
· develop an understanding of the history of music
African drumming allows learners at ‘Key Stage Two’ to engage in a musical experience, making more complex learning objectives accessible, reaching targets. Learners are able to participate in solo and ensemble performances, making worthwhile contributions, aiding confidence. African drumming promotes and enables understanding of a different musical tradition.
Key Stage 3
Pupils should build on their previous knowledge and skills through performing, composing and listening. They should develop their vocal and/or instrumental fluency, accuracy and expressiveness, and understand musical structures, styles, genres and traditions, identifying the expressive use of musical dimensions. They should listen with increasing discrimination and awareness to inform their practice as musicians. They should use technologies appropriately and appreciate and understand a wide range of musical contexts and styles.
Pupils should be taught to:
· play and perform confidently in a range of solo and ensemble contexts using their voice, playing instruments musically, fluently and with accuracy and expression
· improvise and compose; and extend and develop musical ideas by drawing on a range of musical structures, styles, genres and traditions
· use staff and other relevant notations appropriately and accurately in a range of musical styles, genres and traditions
· identify and use the interrelated dimensions of music expressively and with increasing sophistication, including use of tonalities, different types of scales and other musical devices
· listen with increasing discrimination to a wide range of music from great composers and musicians
· develop a deepening understanding of the music that they perform and to which they listen, and its history
African drumming allows learners at ‘Key Stage Three’ to not only play and perform confidently but develop instrumental fluency and expressiveness. Learners experiencing African drumming at this stage will gain an understanding of world music, and enhance their understanding of performance. The musical arrangements taught and employed, promote a unique understanding of West African music style, its genre and its traditions.


In a ceremony last week, Mercer County Drug Court graduated its latest class. As they received diplomas to mark the occasion, graduates of the five-year program also earned another chance and an infusion of hope.
Notoriously tough and highly acclaimed, the drug court began in Mercer County in 1999 as an alternative to incarceration for nonviolent drug offenders willing to put in the hard work to change.
With the supervision and encouragement of judges, probation officers and counselors, the drug court participants must meet rigorous demands of a program that blends justice, treatment and social-service systems.
While the program focuses on the criminal problems stemming from addiction, it also helps participants blaze a path toward their future with services such as mental health treatment, trauma and family therapy, and job-skills training.
It’s an intensive, multidisciplined approach now employed by about 2,300 drug courts in all 50 states. It is currently used with only a fraction of the more than the million drug offenders across the country now in the justice system, but studies show the innovative approach is getting impressive results.
“We know that drug courts outperform virtually all other strategies that have been used with drug-involved offenders,” according to the Treatment Research Institute and University of Pennsylvania researchers.
The costs of drug courts are significantly less than those of incarceration. And drug court graduates have lower rates of recidivism than those who serve time in prison.
Superior Court Judge Gerald J. Council, who presides over Mercer’s Drug Court and the 185 participants currently enrolled, lauds it as a way to break the cycle of substance abuse, addiction and crime by getting addicted offenders the help they need instead of locking them up. There is a definite need for such an approach. Unless offenders who are addicts or substance abusers are regularly supervised by a judge and held accountable, it’s estimated that 70 percent drop out of treatment prematurely.
That drug court treatment, however, is no walk in the park. The 91 recent graduates had to prove to themselves — and the court — they could overcome their problems by accepting the help that was offered and living up to the program’s expectations. They underwent an intensive regimen of substance-abuse treatment, case management, drug testing, supervision and monitoring while reporting regularly to the court.
In return, they have acquired something incalculable.
“They have made the ultimate transition from despair and desperation,” said Judge Council, “to lives filled with hope and meaning.”


Starting from the Visitor Centre, the northern loop skirts Blakemere Moss which is seen occasionally through the trees and vegetation; look out for the abundant wildlife on the water.
Care needs to be taken along the short stretch of road; fluorescent jackets recommended.
The southern loop climbs to Pale Heights giving good views of the surrounding countryside. However, the climb is quite steep and on loose gravel. This is the difficult section of the ramble.

Synthesis and characterization of guar gum templated hybrid nano silica
- Singh, V., Singh, S.K., Pandey, S., Sanghi, R.
- International journal of biological macromolecules 2011 v.49 no.2 pp. 233-240
- Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, adsorbents, adsorption, aqueous solutions, cadmium, calcium, guar gum, magnesium, mercury, molecular weight, nanoparticles, photoluminescence, polymerization, scanning electron microscopy, silica, surface area, temperature, transmission electron microscopy, zinc
- The objective of the present study was the fabrication of green adsorbent hybrids for which native guar gum was used as template to polymerize tetraethoxysilane. The properties and performances of the hybrids could be tailored by using varying molecular sizes of the partially depolymerized guar gum templates of various molecular sizes as control. Zn(II) uptake from aqueous solution was used as a criterion for evaluating the adsorbent efficiency. The optimum material (H4) in terms of maximum Zn(II) uptake, was obtained when the template size used was 375kDa at a calcination temperature of 700°C. H4 was also evaluated for Ca(II), Mg(II), Cd(II) and Hg(II) adsorption. To explore the other applicability areas, the hybrids have been extensively characterized using FTIR, XRD, TGA-DTA, PL, SEM, TEM and BET analyses. H4 was found to be as efficient as previously reported vinyl modified-silica nanohybrids. It had a high surface area (264m²/g) with silica nanoparticles in the size range of 90–140nm. Being thermally very stable and photoluminescent, the material can be potentially used for many biological, medical and environmental applications.

You are invited to dine n' solve the crime! Celebrating Dinner-Theatre on #WorldTheatreDay
We love food. Like seriously, love it. But sometimes we want a little more from dining out than simply meat, veg and some pretty surroundings.On World Theatre Day, we take a look at what makes dinner theatre a great form of live event.
1. Unlike traditional theatre, a WHODUNNIT dinner-experience includes natural breaks in the flow of the drama so that you, our guest, can sit back and socialise with friends. You may chat about which characters you feel are the most suspicious, which questions you will ask the characters during the questioning round or potential clues in the evidence booklet.
2. A WHODUNNIT dinner-theatre event is all about interactivity & engagement. You are able to break the fourth wall and talk to the suspects, questioning them on their motives, alibis and relationships. This attests to the talent of our professional actors and the immersive nature of the events we love to offer.
3. Ever been to the theatre and been distracted by someone's belly rumbling? They should get themselves along to a WHODUNNIT dinner-theatre evening. Not only do you experience the same thrills, drama & intrigue that a normal night of theatre offers, but you also dine from a fabulous menu curated by our Event Coordinator & the venue to satisfy your group's tastebuds.
4. At the end of the evening you and your team must come to a collective decision on WHODUNNIT, why and which weapon was used, providing a real opportunity to engage with the drama you've witnessed and investigate the characters motives thoroughly.
If only ordinary theatre provided the same opportunities that this vastly underrated form of live event has to offer!

Racial stereotypes abound on television, and children’s programming is no exception. The turban-wearing bad guy, the brainy Asian, and the Black basketball whiz are just a few of the stereotypes reinforced in children’s cartoons, films and TV shows. Spotting these stereotypes is often difficult for children; to them, the tomahawk-wielding Indian or the Asian karate expert is a familiar, easily-understood and often funny character. So how do you help children understand these images for what they are – oversimplified, generalizations?

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Oil futures climbed above $104 a barrel on Monday to settle at their highest level since early March, as signs of improving economies in China and Japan and stimulus measures by the European Central Bank raised the outlook for energy demand.
Traders also awaited this week’s meeting of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, where some of the world’s key oil producers are expected to discuss production levels and major factors influencing the market.
“For the moment, crude oil is showing the cards of those looking toward global growth,” said Jonathan Citrin, founder and executive chairman of CitrinGroup.
Crude oil for July delivery
Over on the ICE Futures exchange, July Brent crude UK:LCON4, the European benchmark, climbed $1.38, or 1.3%, to end at $109.99 a barrel.
“The implications of weekend developments in China combined with Thursday’s ECB stimulus decision, and Friday’s ‘Goldilocks’ (not too hot, not too cold) U.S. employment report continue to work through markets to start the week,” said Colin Cieszynski, chief market strategist at CMC Markets, in a note.
The ECB cut interest rates on Thursday and said further monetary policy measures will come. Data released Friday showed that the number of U.S. jobs created in May slowed a bit, but the brisk pace of hiring supported expectations of a spring revival in the economy.
On the weekend, China’s trade surplus and Japan’s GDP beat expectations, “indicating that their economies are starting to improve,” he said. This also indicates that other economies besides the U.S. and U.K. “are getting up off their knees.”
The Japanese government on Monday raised its estimate of first-quarter economic growth to an annualized rate of 6.7% versus an earlier estimate of 5.9%, while Asian stocks also received a lift from positive Chinese export data.
“Adding to this new stimulus for Europe and another round of targeted stimulus in China (focusing on farmers and agriculture this time on top of rural areas and small businesses recently), the outlook for the global economy and resource demand continues to improve,” said Cieszynski.
Combined, the factors all “helped to give crude oil and gasoline prices a boost” on Monday, he said.
Despite Monday’s gains, however, the market forces in the oil market “seem to be at a stalemate,” said Tyler Richey, an analyst for the 7:00’s Report, which offers daily markets commentary.
Overall U.S. supply levels are near record highs, which is bearish, inventories at Cushing, Okla., the delivery hub for Nymex futures, hover just above the required minimums for operation, which is supportive for futures prices, and gasoline demand is steadily on the rise, which is bullish, he said. “Over the medium term however, the technicals do favor the bulls, especially with global economic data steadily improving.”
Natural-gas futures were the lone decliners among the key energy futures traded on Nymex. July natural gas US:NGN14 fell 6.5 cents, or 1.4%, to settle at $4.645 per million British thermal units after scoring a gain of 3.7% last week.
Looking ahead, the energy markets await the first meeting of the year for OPEC members, as well the usual weekly data on U.S. petroleum supplies.
OPEC members will hold their official meeting in Vienna on Wednesday. OPEC’s 30 million barrel-per-day production ceiling has been in place for at least the last two years — a level that’s largely expected to be maintained, but members will have plenty to discuss. See: Oil in ‘sweet spot’ as year’s first OPEC meet nears.
As for the supply data, due late Tuesday from the American Petroleum Institute and early Wednesday from the Energy Information Administration, analysts at Price Futures Group in Chicago expect to see weekly crude, gasoline and distillate inventories climb by 1 million barrels each.

Black women are prioritizing their mental health and it’s a luxury that we don’t always have.
As a barrier breaker and history maker when it comes to the world of gymnastics, the pressure for Simone Biles to be great on the world stage at the Tokyo Olympics has been at an all-time high.
The 24-year old is already a six-time U.S. all-around champion, including her victory in 2016 where she became the first woman to win four in a row since Joan More Gnat from 1971 to 1974.
She also recently became the first woman ever to attempt the Yurchenko double pike in competition, but now Biles continues to prove just why she is the goat, stepping down from the world stage for the sake of her mental health.
Following the women’s team gymnastics final at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics on Tuesday (July 26), Biles withdrew, noting mental health concerns as she works to protect “her body and mind.”
Following the final, won by the Russia Olympic Committee (ROC), a tearful Biles explained the reason behind her decision.
“Whenever you get in a high-stress situation, you kind of freak out,” she expressed. “I have to focus on my mental health and not jeopardize my mental health and well-being.”
As the world looks to the gymnast to bring home the gold, Biles reiterates the notion that one cannot pour from an empty cup.
“It just sucks when you’re fighting with your own head,” Biles continued. She also shared that the gymnasts competing aren’t just athletes.
“We’re people at the end of the day,” said Biles, who shared that Team USA will have a “mental rest day” tomorrow (July 28).
View this post on Instagram
According to Biles, the other Team USA members wanted her to continue the competition, but the Gold medalist says that she can not put her mental well-being on the back burner.
“I was like: ‘I think the girls need to do the rest of the competition without me,'” shared Biles. “They were like ‘ I promise you’ll be fine, we watched you warm-up.’ But I said ‘no I know I am going to be fine but I can’t risk a medal for the team and I need to call it.'”
Biles also explained that this isn’t the norm for her.
“You usually don’t hear me say things like that because I usually persevere and push through things, but not to cost the team a medal. So they were like: ‘OK, if Simone says this, we need to take it pretty serious,'” she continued. “I had the correct people around me to do that.”
Her decision comes just as Naomi Osaka, who has vocalized taking time off for her mental health earlier this year, was knocked out of the women’s Olympic tennis tournament.
Just like we champion around both Biles and Osaka when they’re winning and bringing home the gold, we will lift them as a community when they speak out to say that they need to take some time for their mental well-being.
This is not just for the Naomi Osaka’s and Simone Biles’ of the world, but it’s for all of us –take care of home first, everything else can wait.
For More On Prioritizing Mental Health:


Mobile operators have the capabilities, the experience and the track record to provide fast and secure authentication. For more than two decades, mobile operators have been authenticating consumers’ devices on their networks, securely providing voice calls, messaging, Internet access and other services, while safeguarding consumers’ privacy and personal data.
According to the 2017 Mobile Economy Report of the GSM Association, Africa currently has 420 million unique mobile subscribers representing a 43 percent penetration. By 2020, the Report predicts that 500 million Africans will be mobile subscribers, making it the fastest-growing mobile market. Perhaps more important, smartphone connections have doubled in Sub-Saharan Africa to nearly 200 million over the past two years.
Ovum, meanwhile estimates that mobile broadband connections in Africa will rise from 419 million at the end of 2017 to over one billion by the end of 2022.
While the figures may differ, the message is the same: Africa’s digital economy will be built on mobile platforms, creating exciting opportunities for farsighted mobile operators to play a key role in the continent’s digital revolution. As in many other developing markets in which mobile is outstripping fixed-line networks, mobile operators are becoming an important provider of, and platform for, a growing range of services. Some mobile money services are partnering with insurers, retailers, banks and other companies to provide a growing range of innovative services to Africans.
Airtime is even being used to replace cash for small payments.
In this growing ecosystem, payment solutions that are both secure and customer-friendly are of paramount importance. In particular, as mobile operators offer more and more services, identity fraud is becoming an issue. As a result, the ability to verify customer identity is becoming a business imperative for mobile operators.
However, traditional identity verification methods are subject to manual error and provide a frustrating customer experience. In contrast, a digital and automated identity verification solution can have an immediate impact on fraud reduction and even improve customer enrolment.
A powerful digital identity verification solution that is automated and integrated into the business process brings a new dimension to customer identity management. While there are a number of associated benefits, here are a few:
Improve customer insight/ Providing better customer support
Gain insight into online consumer requirements
Enable personalised offers and innovation based on context
Providing better customer support: Deploying a solution that is user-friendly right from the start offers a real advantage because it can be improved over time by gathering feedback from sales staff. The reliability of the system is also of great benefit. Mobile operators often experience a huge volume of daily verification requests, but real-time identify verification in stores saves, literally, hundreds of hours.
Unlock new value
Strengthen digital service enablement business models
Drive new direct and indirect revenues, as well as cost savings
Deploying identity verification services can help to reduce fraud. In fact, according to the Technology Research Institute, “real-time point-of-sale identity verification services are an invaluable aid to stopping fraudsters from exploiting identity theft”.
Creating new opportunities through digital services. A multi-channel solution for identity verification, which also works remotely, provides a great opportunity for mobile operators to take the first step towards the creation of a trusted digital identity. Mobile operators have the opportunity to position themselves as trusted digital identity aggregators by validating the subscriber’s identity. This could then lead to further opportunities in complementary markets that require identity verification, from online gaming and banking to car rental.
Thinking of the future
Solutions that streamline identity verification, and protect customers’ identities, are hugely valued by both customers and businesses. Finding the right balance between accuracy and tolerance for user convenience is critical in this field. Mobile operators in Africa that adopt the technology now will see immediate benefits in terms of efficiency and customer service—but, in the long term, they will position themselves as pivots within the digital ecosystems built on mobile platforms.

The kids have been hooked on this project since day one— Amber Currie, teacher
Who Is NOBODY?™ is highlighted on CBC 99.1 FM (Runs 4:47)
Metro Parenting – Karen Horsman
What does a doll and Honesty have in common? Actually, a lot! Ever since the McGuinty government in 2006 mandated Character Education in the elementary school system, all sorts of enterprising businesses have come with creative ideas to help schools teach their students about good character.
Our parenting columnist Karen Horsman is here to profile one of two character education initiatives, this week Karen takes a closer look at the Who is Nobody Project.
Audio at a Glance
School: Fallingbrook Public School
School Board: Durham District School Board
Teacher: Amber Currie
Some Who Is NOBODY? Projects completed by this class: Helping the homeless & food bank, famine relief.
Karen Horsman shares her son’s experience building character with Who Is NOBODY?
Mark saw a program about kids starving in Africa 2 years earlier. What he had seen really bugged him. He wanted to make a difference. When NOBODY arrived in the class, and students followed the choose-your-own-adventure-style steps, Mark knew who he wanted to help. Ultimately Mark enlisted his older brother to aid him in doing odd jobs for neighbours to raise funds for children his age in need.
Mark’s teacher Amber Currie explains the kids were hooked on turning NOBODY into SOMEBODY, by helping others, the moment the program arrived in the class.
All sorts of projects have been completed and represented on NOBODY at Fallingbrook Public School in Whitby. Participants learn just how many organizations and causes are in need of time, materials and funds.
Founder of Who Is NOBODY?, Kelly Clark, is interviewed by CBC’s Metro Morning. She describes one reason she came up with the program. When supply teaching in the UK, Kelly made an effort to go to a different school each day. One day she’d be in a special education class, then she’d be at an inner city school, followed by a Gr. 10 class … Each day was different but there was one the same everywhere she went.
The people who were the happiest everywhere she went had respect for themselves and others.
Kelly noticed that students who did not have respect had low self-esteem, gave into peer pressure and were affected by bullying. Alternatively, students who respected themselves were open to learn and share, excited to try new things and not afraid to make mistakes.
When Kelly returned to Canada and had her own class, she wanted to teach them how to build respect in a way that was earned and lasting; she wanted her students to experience being part of something bigger than themselves.
This was aired on CBC Radio Metro Morning with Andy Barrie on January 15th 2008

Wiggling through life
"Life is not a struggle, it's a wiggle.”
I find myself wiggling a lot at Jenny’s volleyball games. I can’t help it.
As much as I try to sit still, my body starts to sway and swoop the moment the ball veers this way or that, as if my body language could help the young players get to the ball quicker.
It doesn’t help, but that doesn’t stop me from still trying to wiggle out a win.
Volleyball is a new sport to these girls and there’s so much to learn, yet one lesson still eludes them; they haven’t learned to loosen up and let their instincts take over.
They haven’t learned to wiggle.
When the girls tense up during the game, they don’t play as well; they don’t react to the unexpected as quickly as they need to.
They begin to struggle to win when all they need to do is wiggle.
Once they learn to trust their instincts instead of their brains, they’ll find themselves already moving toward the ball the moment it’s hit . . moving toward the solution . . . moving toward the win.
You can think of difficulties in life as struggles, but I like to think of them as wiggles instead. It sounds happier.
It sounds more achievable.
Like a fish caught on a hook, we only dig ourselves in deeper when we struggle against a problem. It is the smart fish who waits for the right moment when the line goes slack to wiggle his way off the hook.
Solutions will present themselves if we look for them . . . if we’re flexible enough to bend with the problem instead of struggle against the problem . . . if we learn to wiggle through life.

Following Herbert Hoover’s resignation, President Coolidge took the Commerce Secretary job in a basically caretaker direction with William F. Whiting:
Whiting was born in Holyoke, Massachusetts on July 20, 1864 into one of those families of Yankee industrialists who were the mainstays of the pre-WWII Republican Party. His father worked in the paper industry for Holyoke Paper Company and the Hampden Paper Company before founding his own firm, the Whiting Paper Company which I believe is different from the George A. Whiting Paper Company, since the founder’s name was also “William.” Papa Whiting had been mayor of Holyoke and a State Senator as well as a delegate to various Republican conventions.
The younger Whiting followed his father into business, serving as Treasurer of the company and then President (at which point his brother became treasurer) but he didn’t have much in the way of political ambitions, though he was a Massachusetts Republican Delegate at some conventions. Nevertheless, somewhere along the way Whiting befriended Calvin Coolidge who was making his way up through Bay State politics (they may have met in college, both went to Amherst). With just a few months left in his term after Hoover’s resignation, Coolidge tapped his friend Whiting for the Commerce post but the Coolidge administration was generally short on legislative initiatives and little happened its waning days. It occurred to me, incidentally, to wonder if I wasn’t overlooking a major Commerce Department role in Prohibition during the 1920s, but it seems that Volstead Act enforcement was lodged inside the Treasury Department (initially subordinate the IRS’ precursor agency, later as a freestanding Treasury component like today’s BATF) rather than Commerce or Justice.

These days due to the Coronavirus there have been more and more people left without toilet paper and other basic essentials. More and more people are losing jobs due to the recession. More and more business are struggling.
During last week there was a bit of toilet paper craziness which meant that low income earners were left without. But then Woolworths and Coles introduced a new shopping hour for the elderly and disabled. But still many people are left without toilet rolls and other essentials.
So how can businesses and people donate toilet paper and other toiletries?
- Hold a donation drive with their local charity
- Donate to the free little pantries such as Ascot Vale little pantry
- If they are a big corporation maybe they might be able to donate to OzHarvest or Foodbank or another charity.
- If it is a business they could let people that are on low income take their toilet rolls (but maybe limit to two per person)

Detail and accent features give you an opportunity to try more freely with your two shelf bookcases choices, to decide on products with unexpected designs or features. Colour combination is an important aspect in mood and atmosphere. When choosing bookcases, you will want to think about how the color of your bookcases can show your preferred atmosphere and mood.
Right now there appears to be an endless range of two shelf bookcases to pick when deciding to shop for bookcases. Once you have selected it dependent on your own needs, it is better to consider making use of accent pieces. Accent pieces, whilst not the key of the interior but offer to bring the room together. Put accent items to perform the design of the bookcases and it will end up looking it was made by a professional.
We realized that, choosing the right bookcases is more than falling in love with it's initial beauty. All the model together with the details of the two shelf bookcases has to last several years, therefore thinking about the specific details and quality of construction of a particular product is a good solution.
Every bookcases is useful and functional, however two shelf bookcases has numerous models and built to help you produce a personal appearance for the space. After selecting bookcases you'll need to place same benefits on ease and aesthetics.

An AYSO Region 1455 (Ladera Ranch) girls under-11 extra play soccer team defeated Camarillo, 1-0, to win their division at the 2013 AYSO California State Championships, March 16-17, in Davis, Ca.
The win caps off a highly-successful year for the team, which won both the JUSA tournament in Yorba Linda, and the O.C. Kickoff Classic in Irvine, and finished with an overall record for the winter season at 25-3-1.
“We are extremely proud of the girls and the win. They have worked hard all year to get here and get this opportunity,” said head coach Greg Matlin.
The team started the final game with focus on speed and passing. The Camarillo team was strong and well coached and played aggressively. After multiple opportunities, the Ladera Ranch team was able to break through and score the game’s only goal in the first half. The team continued its strong play on both ends of the pitch to secure the win and the championship.
“We came out with speed, a strong passing game, and aggressiveness. Those were the keys to our win this weekend,” said assistant coach Jason Melin.
The Ladera Ranch squad advanced to the final by defeating a team from Canyon Country in the semifinals.
The team of 13 local girls has been playing together for three years and has accumulated an impressive record of wins at the regional level. Given the strong track record, the team is moving up a division to AYSO’s Pacific Soccer Club for the spring campaign.

The Philosophy of the Daodejing by Hans-Georg Moeller
For centuries, the ancient Chinese philosophical text the Daodejing (Tao Te Ching) has fascinated and frustrated its readers. While it offers a wealth of rich philosophical insights concerning the cultivation of one's body and attaining one's proper place within nature and the cosmos, its teachings and structure can be enigmatic and obscure. Hans-Georg Moeller presents a clear and coherent description and analysis of this vaguely understood Chinese classic.
He explores the recurring images and ideas that shape the work and offers a variety of useful approaches to understanding and appreciating this canonical text. Moeller expounds on the core philosophical issues addressed in the Daodejing, clarifying such crucial concepts as Yin and Yang and Dao and De. He explains its teachings on a variety of subjects, including sexuality, ethics, desire, cosmology, human nature, the emotions, time, death, and the death penalty.
The Daodejing also offers a distinctive ideal of social order and political leadership and presents a philosophy of war and peace. An illuminating exploration, The Daodejing is an interesting foil to the philosophical outlook of Western humanism and contains surprising parallels between its teachings and nontraditional contemporary philosophies.

Background: Bariatric surgery outcomes have been examined in Germany since January 1, 2005. All data were registered prospectively in cooperation with the Institute of Quality Assurance in Surgery at the Otto-von-Guericke University Magdeburg.
Methods: The data were collected from an online data bank. Data collection began in 2005 for gastric banding (GB) and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) results. In addition to primary bariatric operations, data regarding the complications of revision procedures and redo operations were analyzed. Participation in the quality assurance study was required for all certified centers in Germany.
Results: RYGBs are a popular redo operation after failed gastric banding. In the German Bariatric Surgery Registry (GBSR), we analyzed data from 263 RYGB operations that used a one-step approach after GB and 116 operations that used a two-step approach. The leakage rates for primary RYGB decreased to 1.8%. The incidence of leakage after a one-step RYGB after GB was lower (1.9%) than after the two-step procedure (2.6%).
Conclusion: RYGBs are popular procedures after failed GB in Germany. The multivariable analysis for overall intraoperative complications revealed a significant difference between the two-step and the one-step procedure. In an unadjusted and multivariate assessment, the one-step procedure had statistically lower general postoperative complications than the two-step approach. Therefore, we suggest performing band removal and RYGB as a one-step procedure. Further analysis is necessary to evaluate the risk factors for the one-step procedure. Follow-up investigations must be performed to determine whether RYGB is an effective and safe option after GB.


Laser cutting is a #1 choice in the manufacturing industry, leather industry, electronic sector, medical sector, etc. as it offers both a cost-effective and high accuracy cutting solution. Laser cutting is a method of piercing material with a laser beam to melt the material for a clean finish. This technology allows you to carry out customized work, and higher volume jobs. And with laser machines that use Amada parts and Trumpf parts, you can maximize your productivity and cater to the needs of the customers in the best possible way.
Laser cutting is a technology that uses a laser to slice materials. While typically used for industrial manufacturing applications, it is also starting to be used by schools, small businesses, and hobbyists. Laser cutting works by directing the output of a high-power laser most commonly through optics. The laser optics and CNC (computer numerical control) are used to direct the material or the laser beam generated. A commercial laser for cutting materials uses a motion control system to follow a CNC or G-code of the pattern to be cut onto the material. The focused laser beam is directed at the material, which then either melts, burns, vaporizes away, or is blown away by a jet of gas, leaving an edge with a high-quality surface finish .
Generation of the laser beam involves stimulating a lasing material by electrical discharges or lamps within a closed container. As the lasing material is stimulated, the beam is reflected internally by means of a partial mirror, until it achieves sufficient energy to escape as a stream of monochromatic coherent light. Mirrors or fiber optics are typically used to direct the coherent light to a lens, which focuses the light at the work zone. The narrowest part of the focused beam is generally less than 0.0125 inches (0.32 mm). in diameter. Depending upon material thickness, kerf widths as small as 0.004 inches (0.10 mm) are possible. In order to be able to start cutting from somewhere other than the edge, a pierce is done before every cut. Piercing usually involves a high-power pulsed laser beam which slowly makes a hole in the material, taking around 5–15 seconds for 0.5-inch-thick (13 mm) stainless steel, for example.
The parallel rays of coherent light from the laser source often fall in the range between 0.06–0.08 inches (1.5–2.0 mm) in diameter. This beam is normally focused and intensified by a lens or a mirror to a very small spot of about 0.001 inches (0.025 mm) to create a very intense laser beam. In order to achieve the smoothest possible finish during contour cutting, the direction of beam polarization must be rotated as it goes around the periphery of a contoured workpiece. For sheet metal cutting, the focal length is usually 1.5–3 inches (38–76 mm).
Advantages of laser cutting over mechanical cutting include easier workholding and reduced contamination of workpiece (since there is no cutting edge which can become contaminated by the material or contaminate the material). Precision may be better, since the laser beam does not wear during the process. There is also a reduced chance of warping the material that is being cut, as laser systems have a small heat-affected zone . Some materials are also very difficult or impossible to cut by more traditional means.
Laser cutting for metals has the advantages over plasma cutting of being more precise and using less energy when cutting sheet metal; however, most industrial lasers cannot cut through the greater metal thickness that plasma can. Newer laser machines operating at higher power (6000 watts, as contrasted with early laser cutting machines’ 1500 watt ratings) are approaching plasma machines in their ability to cut through thick materials, but the capital cost of such machines is much higher than that of plasma cutting machines capable of cutting thick materials like steel plate .
Laser cutting is effective for your business but there are times you might feel that it is not cost-efficient. However, this is not the case. You can significantly reduce the laser cutting costs in some simple ways. Discover the ways to reduce laser cutting costs.
1.Create a Prototype
Your finances can go for a toss if you directly start the process of laser cutting for the entire product and do not get the desired results. Because if you dislike the end-product, you will have to make another one and this means investing again.
Creating a prototype simply means creating a mock-up. For those who use laser cutting for the first time might have questions regarding the result they will get. Luckily, there is an easy and cost-effective method available to evaluate the product- creating a prototype. It is possible to digitally make a prototype of your design. You can do this by printing the design considering every aspect like space, and shape onto a paper. This is a cost-effective way to give you a clear idea about how your end-product might look. It will save you from spending extra if the outcome fails.
2.Grouping and Nesting
Eliminating space in the design helps to reduce cost. There are two ways to do this:
Grouping- is a laser-cutting technique that helps to reduce waste. It is a good way to increase efficiency and reduce cost. This method allows you to put the pieces into clusters which increases the efficiency of the laser work. Moreover, it also reduces the laser head must travel to make the next cut thus giving circular cuts. Now, rounded lines are necessary but expensive. There this method by accommodating circular cuts will save you money.
Nesting- just like grouping; nesting is a method to reduce waste. This technique by rearranging the pieces you want to cut gives them a common edge which in turn creates less space. By placing complementary lines together, the edge becomes one. So, if the design includes common straight lines, you will have to cut the line only once. This reduces the amount spent on cutting.
3.Keep a Check on Maintenance
Some people mistake maintenance for repair. Repair means to fix a machine while maintenance is all about checking if the machine is running smoothly. Proper maintenance is necessary to reduce the overall expenses. But it involves some investment and therefore some operators skip maintenance at certain intervals if their machine shows no sign of damage and works as usual. This is a risky decision. Suppose your machine stops working suddenly due to lack of proper maintenance and you have to let go of a good offer on hand because it will take 5 more days to repair the machine.
To avoid this, closely follow the maintenance guide. Secondly, invest in quality spare parts for better functioning of your machine. For instance, laser machines using Amada parts and Trumpf parts are reliable and of high-quality.
This goes out to show that reducing the extra expense on a laser machine is not as difficult as it seems. Moreover, the choice of materials and spare parts can also decrease the price of laser technology. If you use spare parts from popular brands like Amada parts and Trumpf parts, you will be able to enjoy the extra cash that remains in your pocket.
