Premier League giants Liverpool got their pre-season commitments off to a whimper as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Championship side Wigan Athletic. However, their latest acquisition Mohamed Salah, who made his unofficial debut in the match, produced a moment of magic which is enough for the fans to be optimistic ahead of the new season.
In a video clip that emerged online, the Egyptian could be seen picking up the ball (for the first time as a Liverpool player) near the half way line and slaloming past a pair of white and blue shirts to invade the final third. Although the finishing lacked the cutting edge as he racked it up high up in the stands, but the aplomb with which he made the run was surely a moment to behold.
The diminutive midfielder joined the red half of Merseyside on a £34.3 million transfer from Italian side AS Roma, where he spent two highly successful seasons. Salah comes in as a vital addition as Liverpool shore up their arsenal ahead of another Premier League assault and also the added Champions League challenge.
The going is getting tough, and looks like Salah is here to the rescue. The 25-year old was also on target in the game as he leveled the scores with his strike, but it was that run in the game that has espied a couple of eyes.
So Salah can dribble, and dribble well. And the Premier League defenders are warned!

In the end, we have another public company, one of 6,000 or so. For all of the yammering about the meaning, strength, and success or failure of the Google
I have to admit to being somewhat surprised by the strength of Google's shares since its IPO at $85 on Thursday -- at current ticks the company has risen some 27% from the level at which it priced its IPO shares. That's a far cry from the 700% that IPO star VA Linux generated several years ago, but a quick look at the biggest IPO pops in history will show you something dramatic -- almost none of the companies trade anymore, and no, they weren't acquired.
People thought I was crazy for saying this in early 2000, but I'll say it again now: "Successful" IPOs of that flavor are disasters.
Google's IPO, even though it went off below its original target price, was a success. Anyone who has read this column for any length of time knows that I have been very critical of where the company priced its IPO, and so, yes, I think that the company's share price at the moment is totally unsustainable. But Google managed to raise $1.7 billion, putting it well ahead of Infonet
But did you know that Google is only the third largest IPO of the year in terms of money raised? Both Genworth Financial
For posterity's sake, Google's raise made it the 25th largest American IPO of all time. Had it been able to sell all of its shares at the high end of the range it originally identified -- $135 per stub -- it would have been the eighth largest. Tell me how many of these IPOs got the public as hot and bothered as Google: AT&T Wireless
So we've determined that IPOs with big first-day pops are utterly poor determinants of future success for the businesses, and now we see that companies that raise a great deal of money in their IPOs also might not succeed. After all, every penny that a company raises in an IPO comes from somewhere.
But as much as Wall Street wanted Google's IPO to be a disaster, as much as they wanted to get back to the days where they could hand their best clients $0.25 dollars to be flipped when purposefully underpriced IPOs hit the launchpad, the end result was that Google raised a great deal of money, $1.2 billion of which went to the company, and some $450 million now lines the accounts of nine insiders, including a $136 million payoff to Yahoo
Wall Street didn't get its wish: The Dutch auction process, though it could have gone smoother, was successful. Oh, Wall Street was bitter about the lower fee structure that they receive under a Dutch auction IPO, but even more than that is that this type of structure keeps the underwriters from being able to give shares to their friends, families, and best clients. Even though Morgan Stanley
If you recall, there was a big scandal about Wall Streeters placing shares with their best clients, all while forcing the same to pay extremely high commissions on separate trades, a strategy known as "spinning." It's also a strategy known as "illegal," but that shouldn't be construed to mean that investment banks haven't figured out another way to profit handsomely on dollars they have to sell to someone at $0.50.
Investors tend to think of an IPO price as a market price, and it isn't. In the standard IPO, over the last few years the expectation has been that there would be plenty of profit left for those who purchase the shares. This, of course, enticed those who received the shares to flip them quickly once real trading began and let those buying from them take on all the risk.
I submit that where the Google IPO process faltered wasn't due to the structure at all, but to idiocies minor and major. The biggest problem, as I saw it, wasn't the structure; it was the fact that the stock was priced at a high price-to-delusion ratio and that the company set up an inexcusable dual-class structure. But I'd suggest that those who bought into Google for the most part were not under the delusion that this IPO would offer the same instant surge as that of offerings past -- anyone who wanted shares would get a chance to bid.
Furthermore, it appears that the company engineered the offering so that the price would not plunge: George Mannes of theStreet.com
The Google IPO was a success in that it raised a substantial amount of money for the company. It was a success in that the company managed to grant itself an absurd valuation and the investing public bought into it. The IPO was a success in that not just a Dutch auction, but also one of unprecedented size and complication, came off relatively cleanly.
But it wasn't a success in that the company has known for years that when it came public it would be under an incredible magnifying glass, and it still managed to blow it in a bunch of different ways. Google's registration statement quoted Warren Buffett, then the company proceeded to ignore most of Buffett's enduring lessons of treating shareholders like partners. Buffett has been perfectly willing to jawbone his own company's shareholders when he thought they'd bid his stock up too high. Google, on the other hand, priced their own shares too high and demanded people pay that amount.
That's off the mark. They got away with it -- but being the second coming of one of the greatest managers in corporate history demands more than rattling off a few quotes.

Jessica Jung has made her solo comeback!
On August 9th at 6 p.m. KST, the lovely singer from Coridel Entertainment dropped the music video for “Summer Storm.” The video shows Jessica thinking back on a past relationship where she was smiling and happy, but the present has left her by herself and feeling lonely. As the memories of the past surround her, she walks through the house amidst a deserted party scene, left with no one to celebrate and half-heartedly picks up a party favor and blows it. All fans agree the MV is a nod to her past with SNSD, making it all the more bittersweet as she sings her heart out in the emotional song.
“Summer Storm” is the title track off her new mini-album of the same name. It was released in honor of her 10th anniversary since her debut. She originally debuted as a member of the popular girl group SNSD before leaving SMTOWN and becoming a soloist.
Check out the MV below! What do you think?
Congratulations to Jessica for reaching her 10th anniversary!

Turkish minister denies Amnesty International report on coup detainee torture
ISTANBULJustice Minister Bekir Bozdağ has denied a report by human rights group Amnesty International that it has credible evidence of abuse and torture of individuals detained in relation to the July 15 failed coup attempt. Bozdağ said the report was part of a “misinformation campaign.”
“No detainee has been tortured or mistreated during or after their detainment,” Bozdağ stated on his Twitter account on July 25, accusing the rights group of “being an instrument of FETÖ/PDY [Fethullahist Terror Organization/Parallel State Structure] propaganda.”
“Amnesty International believes in the slander of FETÖ/PDY members and unfairly accuses Turkey without any accurate information,” he added.
The London-based group reported on July 24 that some of those being held over links to the coup plot were being “subjected to beatings and torture, including rape, in official and unofficial detention centers in the country.”
The report was denied by a senior Turkish official, who claimed that it was “absurd” that Turkey – a country seeking membership to the EU – would not uphold human rights.
“We categorically deny the allegations and encourage advocacy groups to provide an unbiased account of the legal steps that are being taken against people who murdered nearly 250 civilians in cold blood,” the official said.
Amnesty said it had received reports that police in Istanbul and the capital Ankara were holding detainees in “stress positions” for up to 48 hours.
It said detainees were also being denied food, water and medical treatment while being verbally abused and threatened, adding that higher-ranking military officials were subject to worse treatment than other detainees.
It said its report was based on interviews conducted with lawyers, doctors and one person on duty in a detention facility.
“Turkey is understandably concerned with public security at the moment, but no circumstances can ever justify torture and other ill-treatment or arbitrary detention,” said Amnesty’s Europe director John Dalhuisen, who urged Turkish authorities to stop “these abhorrent practices” and allow international monitors into the centers where detainees are held.
Meanwhile, the Justice Ministry has also issued a statement saying Turkey is a constitutional state, and that it was meeting national and international criteria on human rights law even amid a state of emergency.
“The health conditions of the detainees were checked by doctors after the detention and during custody, in line with detention regulations,” the statement said.
It added that contrary to Amnesty International’s claim that Turkey lacked an institution that monitored detention conditions, the Human Rights and Equality Institution was continuing to fulfill its duties.

Celgene (CELG) is one of those stocks with a high trailing price-to-earnings ratio (P/E = 234, today according to NASDAQ) that seems to be able to continually justify its price. It is a member of the NASDAQ-100 and one of the stocks in the IBB (iShares Nasdaq Biotechnology Index Fund).
I don't own Celgene but I am sure thinking of buying it when my portfolio allows. If the P/E of 234 scares you, take a look at the much more reasonable forward-looking P/E of 37 (per NASDAQ), then take a look at the company.
Most of Celgene's revenue comes from just two drugs. In Q1 2007 Revlimid had sales of $146.2 million, up 18% sequentially and 351% from year-earlier.
Thalomid had Q1 sales of $106 million, down slightly from year-earlier. Why? Because it is now competing for patients with Revlimid.
Celgene also had Alkeran sales of $16 million while its Ritalin drug familty produced $19.8 million. None of these drugs are expected to grow sales rapidly.
Revlimid is the drug to watch. It is a in a new class of immuno-modulatory drugs. It is currently approved to treat specific types of pre-leukermia or MDS (myelodysplastic syndromes) and to treat patients who had a prior therapy and need another option for treating multiple myeloma. But expectations, both at Celgene and in the medical community, are very high for it to be approved for other indications such as CLL (chronic lymphocytic leukemia) and NHL (Non-Hodgkin lymphoma). There are over 70 trials of Revlimid that are underway or soon to be started for a variety of indications.
While Revlimid is the company's focus at present, it has other potential hits in its pipeline (See Celgene pipeline).
Still, there is a lot of risk involved in buying biotech and pharmaceutical company stock, even when drugs are producing good and growing income. This is amplified when a stock has a high price to earnings ratio.
Here are some helpful links for more research on Celgene:

Altbet Launches The First Blockchain Mutual Betting Platform
The global gambling market has continued to grow substantially in the last few years. It is particularly noteworthy that factors such as accessibility, anonymity, convenience and interactivity have further fueled the area of online gambling. Thanks to the advancement of technology, players from all over the world can bet on games, sports and events, anywhere and at any time from the convenience of their smartphones and mobile devices. In general, the digitalization of the world is fueling the growth of online gambling markets in many regions.
Data from Statista on the “size of the online gambling market” places the current market size of the online gambling industry to be $46 billion. This value is expected to double by 2024, growing beyond $94 billion. This suggests that more industry behemoths will attempt to break into the online gambling sphere in the coming years, whilst the number of online gamblers will increase. Another stat claim that a third of all gambling in the UK now takes place online, suggesting a growing industry worth billions of pounds.
Whilst these stats may look promising, it begs for the question of “how fair is really fair.” Are online casinos truly honest? Unfortunately, some online casinos do not operate legitimately. Some exist for the sole purpose of enriching their owners and players often get to learn the hard way after making countless deposits and losing out on bets.
Altbet is combining the immutability and transparency of blockchain technology with the comfort and thrill of online gambling.
Altbet.io is a revolutionary online mutual betting platform based on our original cryptocurrency that allows you to place bets on your favorite betting sectors with the Altbet coin (ABET) and in consequence, to rapidly multiply your crypto-wealth.
Altbet is actually the first platform to combine the mutual betting model with blockchain tech. One of the interesting features of Altbet’s system is the fact that bets are placed against other users instead of against the platform. This structure gives way for a dynamic betting multiplier which changes based on the amount of ABET coins in the pool.
The Altbet platform has been built with simplicity and transparency in mind. Betting and cashing out should be as seamless as possible. The team has removed every form of ads and annoying pop-ups from its platform.
As at press time, the platform features a plethora of games including dice, penalty kicks, coin flip, roulette, masternode lottery, slot and crash. This list is expected to expand as the project progresses.
Roadmap: Poker Texas Hold’em beta release
Although Altbet is a little over a year old, the project has recorded some significant progress – from exchange listings to the unveiling of its platform, bounty campaigns, and wallet releases, amongst others. In August, for example, the team redesigned the Altbet platform and introduced several improvements and optimizations.
One of the most anticipated milestones is the beta release of Poker Texas Hold’em on the platform in September. Texas Hold’em is the most popular of all poker variations. As a matter of fact, all marquee tournaments including those held at the World Series of Poker, the European Poker Tour and the World Poker Tour all feature Texas Hold’em.
Altbet will be unveiling the first iteration of the game in September. As always, the team will release subsequent improvements and updates based on feedback gotten from beta users. Once the game is up and running, multiple tournaments of Texas Hold’em will be promoted to keep players engaged.
Other important milestone schedules for September include a custom affiliate system coding and integration with Altbet platform, as well as the integration of a payment gateway. In October, the team is expected to secure a new exchange listing, begin the development, release and promotion of special events.

Whilst the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic have been destructive, they have in some respects also been constructive. Many people have endured the consequences of the pandemic; however, some not only withstood it but were also able to benefit from it. Take Anahit from Armenia, for example.

Emma Raducanu recalls her on-court experience at Wimbledon
Emma Raducanu’s US Open chances have been boosted after her the withdrawal of her tough first-round opponent. The 18-year-old was set to face this year’s Australian Open runner-up Jennifer Brady in her opening main draw match. The Brit, who qualified for a spot in her second successive Grand Slam, will now play lucky loser Stefanie Voegele.
Raducanu came through qualifying to secure a spot in the US Open main draw, her second successive Grand Slam after receiving a wildcard into Wimbledon earlier this year.
The 18-year-old faced a tough first round opponent in Jennifer Brady, a semi-finalist in Flushing Meadows last year and the runner-up at this year's Australian Open.
The world No 14 had been struggling with a foot injury, and withdrew from the tournament on Monday (August 30).
It means Raducanu will now face lucky loser Stefanie Voegele in her opening round match on Tuesday (August 31).
Raducanu now faces a lucky loser in the US Open first round
The teenage sensation announced herself to the tennis world with a run to the second week of Wimbledon last month.
She became the youngest British woman to make it to the round of 16 in the Open Era but retired while a set down to Ajla Tomljanovic in their fourth-round clash, citing breathing difficulties.
Raducanu then backed up her Wimbledon breakthrough with a run to her maiden WTA Tour-leval final at the Challenger event in Chicago earlier this month, losing to fellow 18-year-old Clara Tauson in a deciding set.
She reached a career-high ranking of world No 150 following her first-ever final, and breezed through US Open qualifying to secure a spot in the main draw.
Raducanu was then drawn to play 13th seed Brady in a tough opening test.
However, the American has now been replaced by a lucky loser after pulling out of the tournament, with a knee injury given as her official reason for withdrawal.
It means the 18-year-old will now face world No 128 Stefanie Voegele in the first round instead.
The Swiss player lost in the final round of qualifying to Ana Konjuh but managed to secure a spot in the main draw following Brady's withdrawal.
Raducanu will now like her chances of making it to at least the second round, where she can face the winner of a clash between Hailey Baptiste and Zhang Shuai.
The Chinese player recently beat Raducanu in what was her first match since Wimbledon, in the first round of the WTA 250 even in San Jose.
Recent Australian Open runner-up Brady is not the only high profile name to withdraw on the opening day of the tournament.
2017 French Open champion Jelena Ostapenko also pulled out of the US Open for medical reasons, being replaced in the draw by lucky loser Greet Minnen.

This dream suggests a situation that you have a difficult time accepting or an emotion that you don’t want to acknowledge. A situation in your real life is ruling your actions and behavior.

CONNIE JAFFREY (Troon Portland) landed her second national title on Sunday when she won the girls' event in the Scottish Junior Champion of Champions over The Dukes, St Andrews.
The 15-year-old, who won the Scottish girls' under 14 title at Auchterarder last year, fired a one over par 72 to take her second national title by a single shot from Clara Young of North Berwick.
Connie, said: “My handicap was five at the start of the year, I got down to one and then back up to two, so it’s been a good year.”
In the boys' event, won by Scotland boys' internationalist Bradley Neil (Blairgowrie), best placed Ayrshire player was Scottish boys' champion David Wilson (Troon Welbeck), who was joint seventh on 72, one over par, five adrift of the winner.
Boys' internationalist Jack McDonald (Kilmarnock Barassie) finished joint ninth on 73 while Ayrshire boys' champion Callum Beveridge (Troon Welbeck) and boys' internationalist Euan Walker (Kilmarnock Barassie) were on 78.
lPRESTWICK'S Ross Drummond enjoyed his best finish of the European Seniors Tour season in the Benahavis Senior Masters tournament at La Quinta GC in Spain.
With rounds of 70, 70 and 68, Drummond's five under par 208 left him in fourth place, one shot behind joint runners-up Mark James and Gary Wolstenholme and four adrift of the winner Carl Mason.
Drummond's fourth place finish leaves him 20th in the European Seniors Order off Merit, behind current leader Peter Fowler (Australia).
lBALLOCHMYLE, represented by Graeme Rowan, Craig Hamilton and William Fleming, found the going tough in the European Club Championship at the National Golf Club, Antalya, Turkey.
Representing Scotland, after winning the Scottish Club Championship last month at Falkirk Tryst, Ballochmyle finished 23rd out of 29 teams on +49. Winners were Golf Club De Lyon of France who returned a team total of -12 over the three days of the championship.

The Toyota MR2 is a mid-engine car that, from the factory, was designed for cornering prowess and handling above straight-line speed. This one is a bit different.
This second-gen MR2 was built by Nathan Freke, and it's powered by a strengthened version of the original 2.2-liter inline-four, running a 68-millimeter turbocharger and methanol, according to the YouTube video below. It makes 900 horsepower to the wheels via a sequential transmission and it's able to lay down an 8.71-second quarter-mile at Santa Pod Raceway in England.
It sounds great doing it.
Welcome to Better Than Coffee, your daily dose of car sounds designed to help you kick that caffeine habit.

A new entrant in the fitness tracking wearable space is set to bench press the competition. PUSH is a device coming out of a Toronto-based startup of the same name that tracks and analyzes your performance at the gym. Unlike other fitness trackers on the market, which are more or less ‘digital pedometers’ that count steps and estimate calories, PUSH measures your power, force and balance.
PUSH is not aimed at people who just want to walk or run around the city. This device is for the avid gym-goer, pro athlete, or athlete-in-training who are serious about seeing improvements in their performance. PUSH is expected to be a fully adjustable, antibacterial, impact and water resistant armband with an expected price point of $149.00. The device is currently in the prototype phase and alpha versions are being tested in-house.
For the first version of PUSH, users will have to push a button on the device before each exercise to collect information. Co-founder Mike Lovas told BetaKit that the vision for PUSH is to have a device that can be activated once at the start of a workout and have it understand and track what exercise you are working on based on your activity.
Along with an armband, PUSH will be launching a smartphone application which will let users plan and customize their routines. The app is expected to have social features which will let you compete with others in your network and rank yourself on a PUSH leaderboard. This use of gamification has proven to be a huge factor in motivating the user as we have seen with devices like Nike’s Fuelband.
PUSH has the potential to disrupt how trainers and coaches interact with those they work with. The company intends to launch a coach or trainer web portal that would give them access to the data collected during their trainees workouts. Access would allow them to both monitor and review progress in real-time as well as communicate with their trainee and even suggest new workouts with the click of a button.
The PUSH team, many of which are Waterloo-grads, are committed to making this device as scientifically sound and reliable as possible. Lovas told BetaKit that their dream is to have their device worn by Olympic athletes. To do this, they have enlisted the help of University of Toronto’s Varsity Strength and Conditioning Coach, Adrian Lightowler, as their advisor. They are also validating their equipment using methods at the University to make sure that the data they are collecting is accurate.
PUSH recently launched PUSH Labs, an application-based program to gain outside testers for their beta unit. The program had 150 available spaces in total and in just 24-hours the team received an overwhelming 1,000 applications forcing the program to end. Applicants who were accepted will hear from them in September.
The company is gearing up for their crowdfunding campaign which they hope to also launch in September. They are currently in the process of selecting the right crowdfunding platform. Lovas told BetaKit that crowdfunding was the right next step for the company since it’s a great way to engage with customers, test the market and raise capital. The PUSH campaign is expected to have a funding goal between $80,000-$100,000 with use of the funds to go towards manufacturing the first batch of devices.

text: After an absence of eight long years, vocal group Take 6 returns to Budapest to sweep lovers of a cappella music off their feet once again with their angelic voices. Although the music of the sextet, which boasts the greatest number of Grammy nominations of any vocal group, is strongly rooted in Christian traditions, their performance style will touch anyone even a little open to emotion-filled but unrelentingly professional music, with ethereal harmonies that are at once drenched in cool grooves, jazz and funk. Formed as a quartet by Claude McKnight in 1980, the group expanded to a sextet a few years later, adopting the name Take 6 in 1987. Over their long career, they have worked with Quincy Jones, Al Jarreau and Roy Hargrove and have released more than a dozen albums, among them three selections of Christmas songs. Although this concert at the Béla Bartók National Concert Hall two days after the beginning of Advent will certainly also feature some seasonal songs, it will primarily provide an occasion for the group to present the audience with material from their new album, due for release in spring 2015. There will also be no shortage of well-known jazz evergreens, gospel songs and R'n'B hits, ensuring an evening of both familiar melodies and the thrill of the new. Get ready to put your hands together!

THE Department of Health (DOH) – CALABARZON (Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal, Quezon) on Tuesday started the a three-day “Training Course on Road Safety Management for Local Government Units (LGUs)” of the region for the formulation and implementation of a localized action plan to prevent road accidents, road side injuries and even death held in Pasay City from August 28-30, 2019.
“We are witness to numerous road accidents, car crashes, motorcycle mishaps and road rages daily as televised by news and even experiencing one in real time. This is part of public health concerns due to hospital admissions, deaths, injuries, disability, emotional and economic costs to society under the Violence and Injury Prevention Program of the department,” Regional Director Eduardo C. Janairo stated during a meeting with outcome managers to conduct the first road safety training for CALABARZON.
Road safety traffic and management are methods and measures imposed to prevent road users from getting killed or seriously injured. Road users includes pedestrians, cyclists, motorists and passengers of both public and private transport.
According to the 2018 World Health Organization global status report on road safety, there are about 1.34M deaths from road accidents reported yearly. It is also ranked as the 8th leading cause of death worldwide and the number 1 cause of death for children and young adult aged 5-29 years old. Low-income countries have the highest road traffic death rate at 24.7 per 100,000 populations.
From this report, 49% of road traffic deaths are from motorcycles (23%), pedestrians (22%) and cyclist (4%). It is estimated that at least 3,500 are killed and 100,000 injured daily and inestimable amount of crash costs yearly.
In the Philippines, there are a total of 11,360 road crash related deaths reported in 2017 by the Philippine Statistics Authority with 7,194 deaths and highest among 20-29-year age group.
According to the Motor Vehicle Crash Investigation Program of the Land Transportation Office – CALABARZON from January 1, 2019 – July 31, 2019, there are a total of 65 road crash accident recorded. Quezon province has the highest number with 30 fatalities; Batangas with 14; Rizal and Cavite with 5 each; and Laguna with 2 cases.
Among the top five causes of car crash include speeding over the limit, unsafe overtaking, reckless driving, mechanical defect and lost control of the vehicle. There were 59 deaths and 357 injuries reported. Fourteen driver’s license were suspended and three were revoked.
“Road safety is everybody’s concern. It is important to get everyone on board organize a unified plan of action. Every accident is preventable if we only practice safety and adhere to moral and ethical principle. No person should die from road crashes or injuries,” he concluded.|


The manufacture of steel and paper consumes tremendous amounts of water. So it’s a good thing that both steel and paper are two of the most-recycled materials. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, Americans recycled 1.1 million tons of steel cans and 46 million tons of paper and paperboard in 2018. Keep up the good work!
Steel, like other metals, can be melted down and reused over and over. Paper has a shorter lifespan because each time it is recycled, the fibers are shortened, making them harder to recycle again. A sheet of copy paper can be recycled approximately five to seven times.

New western Licking County water plant to help with area's growth
Several invitees were recently given a look inside the new $13.8 million water treatment facility now up and running at 8675 York Road.
The Southwest Licking Community Water and Sewer District opened its doors Friday afternoon to the facility, which at approximately 25,000 square feet, has been built to be expandable in order to meet the growing demand for water services driven by Western Licking County’s robust development growth.
Located next to SWLCWS’s former plant, the new plant presently services over 6,000 customers in Harrison and Etna townships and the city of Pataskala.
The water and sewer district purchased the land about 15 years ago in anticipation of just such need, according to C.J. Gilcher, utility supervisor.
Chad Sims, water treatment supervisor, said everything was built to be expandable, and more than one tour participant said Friday one very large customer, something on the scale of perhaps another Amazon, could trigger need for some of that expansion.
The new building sits over a well field holding about 400,000 gallons of water when full, Sims said. All that water is contained in six water wells.
That said, SWLCWS is also actively looking for still more well water. “We know much more development and growth is coming here,” Sims said.
Gilcher said customers have praised the plant’s water for taste, while others for the quality of the water and the fact it is easier on equipment and infrastructure.
Among those in attendance for the Oct. 25 tour were officials from the City of Pataskala, and the various townships served by SWLCWS, including John Carlisle of Etna Township.

Ski swaps coming to Vail, EagleVail this weekend
EAGLE COUNTY — If the first snowfall on the mountaintops has you itching for winter turns, this weekend presents two opportunities to gear up on everything you’ll need for the winter season while giving back to impactful local organizations.
Ski swaps are a sacred tradition in mountain communities, where used equipment and apparel can circle back into the community and help fuel the adventures of neighbors and visitors. Not only do they increase the affordability of ever-expensive mountain activities, but they also help reduce waste and give used materials the longest lifespan possible.
The Vail Ski & Snowboard Swap and the Route 6 Café Ski Swap go beyond these benefits by using the income generated at their annual swaps to help fund the Ski & Snowboard Club Vail and the Eagle Valley Humane Society, respectively.
Vail Ski & Snowboard Swap
The Vail Ski & Snowboard Swap is a three-day event that is taking place on Friday, Oct. 7 through Sunday, Oct. 9 at Dobson Ice Arena in Vail. There will be new and used items available, including alpine skis, snowboards, boots and bindings and a large selection of winter clothing and accessories.
This swap is a staple event in the community that is returning for its 53rd year. Community members interested in selling their equipment at the swap have one more day to drop off items before the swap begins. Items can be dropped off at the Dobson Ice Arena on Thursday, Oct. 6 from 12-5 p.m.
Permissible equipment to drop off includes skis and bindings (non-indemnified bindings will not be accepted, these bindings must be removed from the skis to sell the skis), snowboards, snowboard bindings, ski and snowboard boots and lightly used winter jackets and pants.
Those interested in attending the swap must reserve a free ticket in advance of attendance at VailSkiSwap.com. Any unsold items must be picked up at Dobson Ice Arena on Sunday, Oct. 9 from 3-5 p.m.
Ski & Snowboard Club Vail, founded in 1962, is one of the valley’s oldest nonprofit organizations. Each year, it provides training and competition programs for aspiring young athletes and has developed into one of the premiere snowsport clubs in the world. A percentage of all goods sold at the swap will go toward supporting the club.
For more information about the Vail Ski & Snowboard Swap, visit VailSkiSwap.com.
Route 6 Café Ski Swap
Last year, Route 6 Café owner Ollie Holdstock launched the restaurant’s inaugural community ski swap, with proceeds going toward the Eagle Valley Humane Society.
This year, 100% of proceeds will be supporting the nonprofit’s mission to care for homeless animals in Eagle County and facilitate adoption. The majority of funds raised will go toward covering the animals’ vet expenses.
“People want to give — it’s amazing how people want to give — but people don’t know how to give sometimes, or they can’t really afford to give cash,” Holdstock told the Vail Daily during last year’s swap. “But they can show up with a pair of skis that they skied for a season on and didn’t like, or maybe they got a snowboard at a raffle and they don’t want the snowboard, and they can give back.”
The Route 6 Café ski swap will take place on Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 8-9, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the restaurant in EagleVail. Community members are invited to drop off any form of ski and snowboard equipment — gear, clothes, tools and accessories — from now through Friday, and do not need reservations to partake in the swap.

Below are brief descriptions of the various eye conditions we commonly see and treat at Yaryan Eye Care Center in Connersville, Brookville and Rushville! There are many different types of eye conditions that could be affecting you eyesight or could have long-term consequences if not treated properly or promptly. We list some of the more common conditions below. If you think you or someone in your family has one of these conditions, please contact Yaryan Eye Care Center in Connersville, Brookville and Rushville for an exam and recommendations.
Amblyopia (Lazy Eye)
Lazy eye, medically known as amblyopia, is a loss or lack of development of vision, usually in one eye. This degenerative process usually begins with an inherited condition and appears during infancy or early childhood. Lazy eye needs to be diagnosed between birth and early school age since it is during this period that the brain “chooses” its visual pathway and may ignore the weaker eye permanently.
Lazy eye is not always easy to recognize since a child with worse vision in one eye does not necessarily have lazy eye. Because of this, it is recommended that all children, including those with no symptoms, have a comprehensive eye examination by the age of three and sooner if there is a family history of any eye condition or disease. If you suspect a problem, or need to set up your child’s first eye examination, contact Yaryan Eyecare Center to set up an appointment.
Blepharitis is a general term for an inflammation of the eyelid and eyelashes. It is among the most common and stubborn eye conditions usually resulting from poor eyelid hygiene, a low-grade bacterial infection (usually staphylococcal), an allergic reaction and/or abnormalities in oil gland function.
Like some other skin conditions, blepharitis can be controlled but not cured. The main goals in treating it are to reduce the amount of bacteria along the lid margin and open plugged glands. Contact Yaryan Eyecare Center to assess the severity of your problem and the best treatment method.
Cataracts occur with the clouding of the natural lens in the eye. Most cataracts develop slowly over time and can cause blurry vision. When this happens, cataract surgery is performed and the natural lens of the eye is removed and replaced with an artificial lens that restores visual clarity.
Our doctors at Yaryan Eye Care Center refer our patients to the top cataract surgeons in the state for the surgery to be performed. After surgery, patients will return to their Optometrist at Yaryan Eye Care Center for all post-operative care.
Dry Eye Syndrome
Dry eye syndrome refers to a breakdown in the quantity or quality of tears to moisten, cleanse and protect the eyes. This is significant because, with each blink, tears protect the surface of the eye, washing away dust and microorganisms. When this protective coating dries up, the eyes may feel “gritty” or burn and can be more sensitive to light. In extreme cases, vision can be blurred.
If you suspect that you have dry eye, see your eye doctor. Proper care will not only increase your comfort – it will protect your eyes. Your eye care provider can perform a series of tests to determine if you have dry eyes.
Glaucoma is a disease that damages the optic nerve of the eye. An estimated 3 million Americans have the disease, but only half of them are aware. Glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible blindness.
Glaucoma is a group of diseases that steal sight without any warning gradually over time. The vision loss is caused by damage to the optic nerve, which means early detection is vital. Early detection and treatment can help preserve vision and slow the damage caused by the disease.
Glaucoma can develop in one or both eyes. Peripheral vision is typically affected first and tunnel vision may occur as the disease progresses. There are two main types of Glaucoma. Open Angle Glaucoma causes peripheral eyesight to slowly diminish and Angle Closure Glaucoma causes pressure on the iris that interferes with fluid drainage.
Those in high risk groups include people over the age of 60, family members of those diagnosed, those with Diabetes and those who are severely nearsighted. While there is no cure for Glaucoma, medication or surgery can slow or prevent further vision loss. It is very important to schedule and show for regular eye exams in order to prevent unnecessary vision loss.
Cross-eyed, medically known as strabismus, refers to a condition in which eyes are misaligned. It commonly occurs when the muscles that control eye movement are not properly working together. The result is one or both eyes turning inward, outward, upward or downward, or one or both eyes moving irregularly.
Strabismus is usually diagnosed during childhood and affects about 4 percent of children, afflicting boys and girls equally. Though it cannot be prevented, its complications can be avoided with early intervention. Even if you notice symptoms intermittently – when your child is ill, stressed or fatigued – alert your eye care provider.
Yaryan Eyecare Center has the experience and equipment necessary to diagnose and often treat the eye conditions detailed above at our offices in Connersville, Brookville and Rushville. For more information please schedule an appointment with your eye care provider, and we will be in touch with you shortly.

Aggressive logging, stump removal, and portable sawmills are the principal applications for both chainsaws. These saws are not meant for use in any other capacity. To cut using a 121.6cc saw, you’ll need considerable abilities and knowledge. Their size, weight, and power are impressive, and they are designed to cut through wood up to five feet in length.
Although the Stihl MS 880 gets first place in this comparison, the performance benefits of these two chainsaws are incredibly similar. Follow along as we compare and contrast these two imposing machines side by side.
This article includes the comparison table between these two chainsaws. You will also find some of the main differences between the two and also some of the similarities. In addition to that, there are the most frequently asked questions well answered. These will help you get a better understanding of the two.
Quick comparison table between Husqvarna 3120xp and Stihl ms880
|Maximum bar size||42 inches||56 inches|
|The powerhead weight||22.9 Ibs||22.3 Ibs|
|The capacity of the fuel tank||42.24 OZ||44OZ|
|The lubricant capacity||23.68 OZ||23.7 OZ|
|The type of fuel||Gasoline||Gasoline|
Features of Husqvarna 3120xp
- Its oil pump is adjustable- Controlling oil flow is made possible by adapting it to the application and weather circumstances.
- It has a quick-release air filter- Ensures that the air filter may be cleaned and replaced easily.
- The Husqvarna has a magnesium crankcase- The crankcase is constructed to endure high RPMs and harsh professional use, resulting in long service life.
- The crankshaft of this chainsaw is a three-piece- Crankshaft made of three pieces of forged steel for ultimate durability in the most demanding applications.
- The Husqvarna has low vibrations- this means that it has an anti-vibration system.
- This type of chainsaw usually has a smart start. It has no complicated starting.
- It also contains felling marks.
- The Husqvarna has an activated inertia chain brake.
Features of Stihl ms880
- The stihl Elasto start– An integrated shock absorber in the starting grip significantly minimizes the effort required while pulling on the starting cord.
- The intellicarb compensating carburetor– When the air filter gets restricted or partially clogged, the engine’s RPM is maintained by automatically adjusting the air/fuel ratio. The flap and flow of fuel are controlled by air coming from the cleaned side of the air filter. Once the air filter becomes clogged, the computer regulates the fuel flow to compensate for the reduced airflow.
- It has the chain tensioner from the side access- Using a bar wrench, it makes minor adjustments to the chain.
- The Stihl ms880 has a decompression valve– It relieves compression in the engine’s cylinder, making it much easier to get the engine started. Immediately the engine is started, the door closes automatically.
Differences between Husqvarna 3120xp and Stihl ms880
1. Chain tensioning
When utilized with a portable sawmill, the location of the Husqvarna 3120XP chain tensioning nut is inconvenient. It is located towards the saw’s front edge, adjacent to the bar. To access it with a chainsaw mounted on a sawmill, the mill will need to be modified. Another aspect that distinguishes the Husqvarna 3120XP from Stihl MS880 MAGNUM is its compact size.
When a chain extends during usage, you can compensate by moving the bar away from the sprocket, and therefore you tighten the chain on the bar. The tensioning mechanisms of the earliest chainsaws were all integrated into the saw’s front. They utilized a screw facing forward adjacent to the bar. This method is still used on some Husqvarna saws. However, they became muddled with bar oil and saw crumbs, necessitating some digging to locate them. Additionally, gnashing your fingers against the chain while adjusting the chain is a common occurrence.
Stihl refines the design by incorporating the tensioning mechanism into the side cover. Husqvarna employs this approach on a limited number of saws. Adjustment is accomplished from the machine’s bar side, making it easily accessible on a mill. This is among the principal applications for these large chainsaws, so the Husqvarna 3120XP’s screw position is regrettable.
2. The power to the weight ratio
The difference is negligible, implying that the items are well suited. Both are robust and will not sputter under the most trying conditions. When managing these chainsaws, the essential factor to note is the weight differential.
3. Dry weight
Both are substantial when contrasting the weight of chainsaws without a bar or chain to the weight of chainsaws with empty fuel tanks. Stihl’s MS880 weighs in at 21.8 pounds, while the Husqvarna 3120XP comes in at 22.9 pounds. Surprisingly, considering the Husqvarna’s engine is smaller than the Stihl’s, both manufacturers try to minimize weight. It may not sound like much, but this difference in weight is significant on the field.
4. The anti-vibration damping
Stihl is one of the last chainsaw manufacturers to employ rubber vibration isolators; most firms use steel springs. The isolators dampen vibrations transmitted from the saw’s handlebars, thereby reducing user fatigue. The Husqvarna 31220XP isolates vibrations by the use of springs. While steel springs may provide a floppy feel to a large saw, they are superior.
Steel isolators are more durable and work better. Rubber mounts tend to harden, rip, or gradually deteriorate.
Similarities between Husqvarna 3120xp and Stihl ms880
- They are both use the same fuel types that are gasoline

Stihl 880 vs Husqvarna 3120- Which Is Better?
Which One to Pick Between Stihl MS 271 vs Husqvarna 450
Frequently Asked Questions:
- What is the size of the Husqvarna 3120xp guide bar?
Answer; the two-stroke engine produces 8.6 BHP and has a capacity of 121.6cc. It accepts guide bars ranging in length from 17″ to 59″ – nearly five feet of cutting force for the most demanding projects. The ElastoStart starter handle includes an integrated shock absorber that absorbs shocks caused by pushing the starter wire.
In conclusion, Stihl, as well as Husqvarna chainsaws each, include an inertia chain brake. When the bar tip is furthest away from you, a powerful kickback activates the brake. Inertia in the reverse side engages the chain brakes, even if the front handgrip is not touched.
Always bear in mind that safety mechanisms do not guarantee that a kickback would not occur; you must remain watchful and verify that a kickback would not happen. You should always maintain the chainsaw’s air filter even though the engine can run smoothly in dirty and challenging conditions.

LONDON (MarketWatch) -- BP's credit rating was slashed a staggering six notches by Fitch Ratings on Tuesday, just hours before its top U.S. executive is grilled in front of Congress as worries over how much the company will have to pay for the Gulf of Mexico oil spill grow.
Fitch, which had cut BP's rating just two weeks ago, said the main driver was the Obama administration's insistence that claims being paid out of an escrow account.
"The recent claims by U.S. state and federal authorities that BP escrow significant sums pre-emptively, ahead of any agreed claims process, represent a material change in approach, should it ultimately prove a legally supportable move against the company," the rating agency said.
Fitch also noted that government scientists have increased their estimates of the spill rate.
Using a variety of company and industry estimates, Fitch sees immediate clean-up and claim settlements between $3 billion and $6 billion; civil fines of between $2 billion and $8 billion; "medium-term incremental one-off costs," which it didn't calculate but pointed out that a 1% rise in North American operational costs would increase spending by $700 million a year; and long-date litigation-related damages.
Fitch said it would be "surprised" if BP did not suspend quarterly cash dividend payments until the operational and financial impact of the incident is clearer.
The rating agency made clear it didn't expect BP to file for bankruptcy.
However, "the possibility of further, potentially multi-notch rating actions" arise from higher financial claims, the acceleration of the payment of claims and the possibility of declining BP's access to capital.
The rating agency action comes just hours ahead of a hearing by the House of Representative's Committee on Energy and Environment, which will feature BP's top U.S. executive, Lamar McKay, as well as executives from rival oil firms.
President Obama will make his first speech to the nation from the Oval Office at 8 p.m. Eastern.
In premarket trade, BP shares rose over 3%.
However, BP shares have lost nearly half their value since the Deepwater Horizon rig exploded, causing the Gulf of Mexico spill, on April 20.

Urban trees are crucial for checking road dust and gaseous contaminants. Hence, tree plantation is one of the key actions listed in the National Clean Air Programme (NCAP) to reduce pollution in the 122 non-attainment cities. This report analyses the work done under the plantation initiative of NCAP in its maiden year (2019). Of the 15 targeted cities, only seven responded to our Right to Information (RTI) queries. No plantation work was done in Guwahati. Detailed analysis for Korba, Hyderabad, Delhi, Agra, Chandigarh and Varanasi shows that none of the cities have planned plantations based on pollution hotspot locations, a key specification of the NCAP. Many cities have also introduced alien and incompatible species instead of native flora. Their plantation practice lacks scientific approach, proper planning and does not fulfill the NCAP’s objective.

While ‘unlock’ programs are currently in progress across the nation, it is expected that soon everything would be back to business as usual. One such industry which is waiting with bated breath to resume operations is Bollywood. There are several films in different stages of production and quite a few actors have multiple films up their sleeves. While Akshay Kumar has half a dozen films already lined up ahead of him, John Abraham too has three confirmed releases as well as at least three more films gearing up to go on floors. One such actor who is also set to be super busy once the shootings resume is Kartik Aaryan.
“That’s right, as he has as many as five films ahead of me,” says an insider who is keeping a close track of the all the major actors with multiple films in their hand.
“These films are Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, Dostana 2, Om Raut’s next, Shashank Khaitan’s next and the remake of Telugu blockbuster Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo,” he divulges.
In fact, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 and Dostana 2 were confirmed releases for 2020 itself and were slated to arrive this summer. However, with lockdown impacting the shooting for over three months now, there is no confirmation yet on their eventual arrival date.
“If shooting kick-starts by July, there is a good probability that at least one of these would make it to the finishing line before end of year. However, there is also a question of whether Bhushan Kumar [Bhool Bhualaiyaa 2] or Karan Johar [Dostana 2] would like to bring their films in 2020,” the insider continues.
Meanwhile, Kartik Aaryan is assured of quite some bust months ahead as there are three films that are waiting to go on floors.
“Om Raut’s next is a 3D action film and unlike Tanhaji – The Unsung Warrior, this one is set in the current times. For the first time ever, Kartik would be seen in a hard-hitting role. As for Shashank Khaitan’s next for Karan Johar, this one could well be in a happy feel-good space, just like his Dulhaniya franchise with Varun Dhawan,” our source reveals.
There are no doubts whatsoever about Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo though which featured Allu Arjun in the principle role and turned out to be the biggest Telugu success in Andhra Pradesh after the Baahubali franchise.
“That is a complete family entertainer. Considering the fact that Kartik is loved so much amongst kids, youth as well as family audiences, there is something out there for everyone. This is what you term as a perfect role for any actor to play,” the source adds.
With such a strong line up ahead and his plans seem to be sorted till the end of 2021 at least, it would be interesting to see what does Katrik Aaryan pick up next to strengthen his lineup for 2022 as well.

This week has been a big one for NTT announcements. The Japanese company has been keen to highlight its work in innovation during the run-up to Mobile World Congress. As one of relatively few operators to have major R&D capabilities, it is striking to see the areas where they are giving attention.
To begin with, NTT has been active in developing new ways for their network to operate. This week they announced a “successful demonstration of computing and mobile networks convergence to provide diverse services in the 6G era”. While the title is relatively unclear, the actual content could be very significant.
While telecoms networks until now have done very well at carrying data between devices and the cloud, with virtualisation every network node is becoming its own resource for compute and storage. The computing power in the network has gone on transporting data between the devices and… the cloud, which then uses its computing power to perform services such as 3D rendering and then send data back to the device.
When viewed like this, it’s a bit like taking a car to get to a car hire shop, using its services and then driving home again. While there may be occasions where that makes sense, there are plenty more where it just doesn’t.
Especially when it comes to low-latency services, using network nodes’ compute power could deliver some clear benefits. It allows for processing data closer to the end-user, delivering the minimal latency required, but removes the need for that processing to be done on the device itself. The devices can be simpler, cheaper and lighter, requiring less energy to run and therefore extend battery life. While this might be a marginal benefit in a handset, it could make all the difference in a headset or glasses.
The press release does not expressly compare this service (called “In-network Service Acceleration Platform” or ISAP) to other models of edge computing. However, it appears as though the key difference is that in this case there is no requirement for an edge datacentre. The network itself is the processing environment.
Moreover, the demonstration – which took place using Nokia’s 5G core Saas – was designed to test out whether the network resources could adapt in accordance with the demands of a “metaverse service” – exactly what it will be interesting to discover, but some kind of XR looks likely. NTT commented that “we have confirmed that computing services with GPUs for high-performance rendering, encoding, and decoding can be controlled based on the state of the service. We have also confirmed that computing resources can be allocated within the metaverse state change time.”
The potential benefits here are considerable for applications and the designers of hardware. It will be interesting to see how that gets monetised, however. Charging the application or hardware developers for using network capabilities in a Saas model, perhaps? As things stand it’s unlikely that end-users will foot a regular bill.
On a related topic but with more immediate impact, NTT also announced a tie-up with Schneider Electric this week. The pair have put together NTT’s Edge as a Service with Schneider Electric’s ‘EcoStruxure’ to “meet the demands of compute-intensive tasks such as machine vision, predictive maintenance, and other AI inferencing applications at the edge.”
“Processing vast amounts of data generated by edge devices is where the future of digital transformation lies,” commented Shahid Ahmed, NTT’s EVP New Ventures and Innovation.
According to a report commissioned by NTT, roughly two-thirds of enterprises are adopting edge processing to support their own evolution. While there must be questions about exactly what enterprises were included in this survey, based on the collaboration with Schneider Electric NTT seems to be taking the result seriously.
Camille Mendler, Chief Analyst, Enterprise Services, Omdia noted that “AI-enriched data already accounts for a third of enterprise network traffic, but it will dominate digital interactions by 2030. To profit from AI insights, enterprises must invest in digital resources at the edge, and the technology infrastructure that powers it.”
So we can see that there are potentially several avenues for NTT to pursue in the evolution of new business models and capabilities. While providing edge computing and private networks is good for now, over time they can adapt to a more integrated ISAP model. This also gives NTT a closer involvement not just with the movement of data but the data itself. While projects like Open Gateway stand to expose network functions to application developers as a new role and revenue source for operators, ISAP may offer NTT a richer platform for delivering insights back to the client or – at best, if they get the model right – as a two-sided model to provide intelligence to others.
This is an interesting play as it starts to tie in with the long-term R&D efforts into a future network that are the IOWN programme. Indeed, last October NTT delivered a press release outlining the wider concept, in which ISAP plays a crucial part alongside concepts such as decentralised identifiers and improved resilience. They aim to bring this into the standards process, so we can expect to see further demonstrations and tests as standardisation gets under way.
(Note – you can meet Takehiro Nakamura, NTT DOCOMO’s Chief Architect, at 6GSymposium this April to get news and opinions direct).
Alex Lawrence is Managing Editor at 6GWorld. His mission is to bring together stakeholders from across industries, countries and disciplines to make sure that, as technology evolves in the coming decade, it’s meeting the changing demands of society, government and business.
He has been involved as a professional nosy person in the telecoms sphere since 2004, with short detours through industrial O&M and marketing.
