Washington: Concerns of surge in capital flows, rising commodity prices and fears of overheating of emerging economies, a group of developing countries including India on Friday called for concerted global action to deal with the problems.
“The reliance by advanced economies on overly expansionary monetary policy ...have contributed to a surge in capital flows, increased risks to financial stability, promoted speculative movements in commodity prices, and led to overheating and exchange rate pressures in many emerging markets,” said the communique issued after the G-24 meeting.
The leaders called for increasing infrastructure investment in developing countries, which they felt could negate the impact of surge in capital flows.
Noting that the expansionary policies of advanced economies have had spillover effects on developing countries, the group of 24 developing nations, expressed concern over sharp spike in prices, especially of food and fuel.
“A major challenge is how to ensure that growth in the future is inclusive and employment-intensive. A push to raise investment, including for infrastructure improvement, can help sustain and broaden growth poles in the developing world...,” South Africa’s national treasury director-general Lesetja Kganyago told reporters after releasing the communique.
India was represented at the G-24 meeting by economic affairs secretary R. Gopalan.
The G-24 communique also called for “urgent and concerted actions to deal with the immediate consequences of food and energy price increases and to address the long-standing impediments to food and energy security.”
“...a major push to raise investment in developing countries can help sustain and broaden growth poles in the developing world with important positive spillovers for other developing countries and the global economy. Of critical importance is the need to upgrade infrastructure...,” the communique said.
The G-24 ministers underscored the need for global macro economic policy coordination and cooperative action and agreed that the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has a role to play in this regard.
G-24 is a grouping of 24 developing nations from three regions -- Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean besides Asia.
Besides, at Thursday’s meeting of Brics (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) grouping, leaders cautioned that volatile commodity prices and excessive capital inflows into developing countries pose threat to world economic recovery.
Early this week, the International Monetary Fund IMF too had warned that rising food and commodity prices pose a threat to poor households, adding to social and economic tensions, notably in the Middle East and North Africa.

What’s truly fascinating in this picture is that the main official flirting with the idea of a working arrangement with Assad is President Obama himself. Administration officials explain his reasoning, privately, as follows:
First and foremost, he’s unalterably against the U.S. getting immersed in any sort of new ground war in the Middle East.
Second, he is much more skeptical than his subordinates about the Sunni rebels getting stronger in any near-term sense, and about America’s current allies contributing significant ground troops to the joint effort.
Third, he realizes that the Islamic State cannot be checked or in the end defeated without strong ground troops.
Fourth, as much as he despises Assad, he understands more than his colleagues do that the jihadis are a far greater threat to American national security and to our allies than Assad ever was or will be.

After the success of her book and documentary, former First Lady Michelle Obama is launching “The Michelle Obama Podcast” on Spotify set to debut on July 29, the first podcast to come out of last year’s Spotify deal with the Obamas’ production company Higher Ground Productions.
The announcement from Spotify noted that Obama, as the host of the show, would bring her “most candid, human, and personal conversations to show us what is possible when we dare to be vulnerable."
“I hope this podcast will help listeners open up new conversations—and hard conversations—with the people who matter most to them,” Obama said in the statement, adding, “That’s how we can build more understanding and empathy for one another.”
In a teaser video, Obama said that she will talk to some of the people she is closest with to discuss “the relationships that make us who we are,” adding, “what I love about these conversations is that they are topics and issues that we’re all dealing with no matter what’s going on whether that is a global pandemic or a nationwide reckoning with race.”
Guests will include Marian and Craig Robinson, Obama's mother and brother; late-night host Conan O’Brien; top Obama White House adviser Valerie Jarrett; journalist Michele Norris; and Dr. Sharon Malone, who is married to former Obama Attorney General Eric Holder.
“It’s been a tough year and I hope this podcast can help us explore what we’re going through and spark new conversations with our loved ones,” Obama tweeted.
Since leaving the White House, Obama released her memoir "Becoming" in 2018, which publisher Penguin Random House said could be the “most successful memoir in history” and has sold more than 11.5 million books worldwide. In 2019, Higher Ground Productions released its first film through the Netflix partnership, “American Factory” which won the Academy Award for “best documentary feature.” In 2020, Netflix released “Becoming,” a documentary centered on Obama’s book tour.
Spotify has made a big push to expand its podcast library this year. In May, the company signed a multi-year exclusive licensing deal with Joe Rogan for rights to his popular podcast "The Joe Rogan Experience." In June, Kim Kardashian West signed an exclusive deal to host a podcast covering themes of wrongful convictions. Spotify bought Bill Simmons' sports and culture site The Ringer in 2020, adding to its previous podcast-centered acquisitions Gimlet, Parcast and Anchor.

NASA’s Lucy mission is all set to make its first encounter with a small asteroid dubbed Dinkinesh on November 1.
The asteroid, which is located in the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, was discovered in 1999. The spacecraft will reach the asteroid’s surface at a distance of 265 miles (425 kilometers) during its close flyby.
The mission’s flyby has been bolstered by the utilization of 13-year-old infrared data from NASA’s Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE).
Fresh measurements of Dinkinesh
University of Arizona researchers utilized observational data from the WISE satellite, which scanned Dinkinesh in 2010. On December 14, 2009, the mission was launched with the goal of creating a complete infrared map of the whole cosmos.

Lionel Messi’s Barcelona exit is edging closer as PSG make moves to bring him to Paris which has angered Sergio Aguero, who was promised he could play with the striker and is now considering his own future
Sergio Aguero is looking to leave Barcelona this summer after being denied the chance of playing with Lionel Messi, according to reports.
The Spanish club snapped up the forward for free when his Manchester City contract expired recently.
He is one of several free agents to move to the Nou Camp, but already he is looking for a way out.
Aguero has played alongside Messi on the international stage and the two enjoy a strong bond.
But after it was announced that the six-time Ballon d’Or winner will be leaving the Nou Camp Aguero feels as if he has been betrayed by the club.
The former City made has now instructed his lawyers to analyse his contract in an effort to secure an early exit, reports Betevé’s ‘La Porteria’.
They also add that the feeling around Agüero is that “his future at Barça does not look good”.
Upon signing the striker said: “Of course I hope to play with Lionel. I know him so well, we’re good friends.
“What happens with Leo is a decision that he and the club will make. It is a pride to play with him. I’ve played with him in the national team.”
Already things around Messi have progressed quickly and PSG have wasted no time in tabling an offer.
A switch to Paris is thought to be edging closer with €40m net per year offered to the Argentine.
It would also allow him to play with Neymar once more.
Barcelona’s problems don’t look set to end with Messi’s departure as their financial issues have also prevented them from registering any of their free agents.
Leading sponsors Rakuten and Beko have asked Barcelona for explanations and reductions in their contracts, reports AS.
President Joan Laporta, having signalled his intent to keep Messi, has now claimed that keeping the striker would’ve jeopardised the club for half a century.
“I can’t make a decision that will affect the club for 50 years,” he said.
“The club is over 100 years old and it’s above everyone and everything, even above the best player of the world. We will always thank him for everything he’s done for us.
“In order to have fair play, we need to do this or make an effort which would put the club at risk. We couldn’t keep going with this and we needed to make a decision, which we have.”


Every sane Nigerian will definitely be incensed by ex-Vice President Alex Ekwueme’s inordinate ambition to still rule Nigeria even in his 80s. This apparently smacks lack of generational shift in Nigeria Politics. It is appalling to see the same old generation of politicians, who have led the country’s politics in the last couple of decades, still hovering around Nigerian Politics. Even more annoying is the fact that these epitomes of failed leadership are still in the driving seat of Nigerian Politics, whereas they should have been relegated to the background and history of Nigerian Politics as spent forces.
That Nigerian politics is chequered and her political development beleaguered is owing to the stupendous political latitude given to these recycled ill-political leaders, who have become more or less a reoccurring political liability to Nigeria political development. It should be noted that it is these old breed politicians that sown the seeds of ethnicity that has become a monstrous issue in Nigerian Politics. It is still these same politicians that have become a conduit for colossal drain of public funds to date.
It is the same old breed politicians that sown and propagated “godfatherism” brigand in Nigerian politics, leeching the national coffers to date. This same breed of politicians has been the main culprits of political instability, political assassinations and electoral malpractices that have plagued Nigeria contemporary history. There is no disputing the fact the set of politicians that held sway in the First Republic still reemerged in the Second Republic. While some remnant politicians of the First, as well as those of the Secondary Republic re-emerged in the aborted Third Republic. But for IBB’s shrewd ban of certain old breed politicians, they would have taken over the political reign in the Third Republic.
Even the Fourth Republic has been witnessing this same lack of paradigm shift from a generation of leaders bereft of leadership qualities to transform Nigeria’s perpetual underdevelopment quagmire. One vital fact to note here is that, in the few states that have or are currently enjoying good governance, such good governance emanates from new breed politicians. Such good governance would have been widespread but for some of the old guards still lurking around as “godfathers”, ripping off the state’s commonwealth from their “godsons”.
It should be noted that, for Nigeria to surmount most of her daunting challenges, a further paradigm shift is needed. That is to say that the unproductive and less productive politicians of the first, second and third transitions of the Fourth Republic must give way to new breed politicians and younger progressive minds that can muster the political will to transform Nigeria. Nigeria cannot continue to be ruled by these old guards and yet expect political, economic and social transformation and development. Perhaps, these politicians’ stranglehold on Nigerian politics requires the same revolutionary trend as witnessed in the Arab uprising. Maybe the subtle drive for political paradigm shift would not be as effective as a drastic one.
The latter is imaginable given the vivid signs shown by the January protests that followed President Goodluck Jonanthan’s ill-advised subsidy removal logjam at the beginning of the year. Buoyed by similar revolutionary trend in the Arab world, many Nigerian youth are now brimmed with the mindset that only a revolution will bring about the much-needed change. This is a stereotype behaviour cutting across ethnic, religious and other sectional divides. Unless the old breeds of politicians give way, a revolution is foreseeable.

Where do you listen to your music?
I do have a couple portable music players, mostly have my phone on me. Rarely do I play music out of the house, I like to hear what is going on around me so if I am shopping for food, walking around I feel no need to be playing music that could distract me. So I find myself mostly playing music at home while doing other things on the computer or cleaning up etc... for that I would prefer it going though a speaker.
Answer by MisterMFrance · Jul 06, 2011 at 05:50 PM
Everyday I hear new album from jamendo and I have some interesting audios replies to my songs on soundcloud. Another thing, myspace (even if it is gonna dead - or not, whatever) is also a nice place to listen to music too and discover new artists.
I use also youtube when I know the perfect title and/or band and sometimes I record 24 radios of every style I like (rock, pop, electro, soundtracks...) with streamripper for winamp for generally 5-10 days non-stop and then I got a thousand of new fresh songs which are nicely cut and ID3tag pre-formatted with all the informations I want (mutliple songs of 3Mb files, not just a 5Gb file). And the most amazing thing with this particular software is that all your 'radio ad' that you don't want to listen to, is suppressed automatically :) So you just have tons of new clean songs. That IS awesome.

Former Nigerian President, Goodluck Jonathan, has described his relationship with his successor, President Muhammadu Buhari, as okay.
He said this after a short meeting with the president today, July 21. He further applauded Buhari on the completion of the railway project.
“You have been seeing me coming and I have been having friendly conversations. So, our relationship is ok.
“Let me use this opportunity to commend Mr. President publicly. I’ve already sent a letter to appreciating. It’s a good gesture.
“And completing the railway programme is good. It shows that the President is doing, is going on with the legacy projects of the previous administrations. That is the way to go.
“I sent a letter to him. I commended him verbally too but you are asking me now. Let me also do it publicly. I appreciate it, I thank Mr. President, the Minister of Transportation and others that made it possible” he said

Love is the most powerful potent force linking human beings. It is the feeling that makes you fit to do any work. True love is the one that doesn't long for crazy cabals and cold night phone calls. It is like being engrossed in the love's love. It is like being painted i the colors of love. It is the only feeling that only links human beings onto this brutal orb. love is livelier than life and life is lovelier than love. Don't covet for an individual. The arena of true love is inflated in its sense here. True love is not bounded by the pangs of time, rather it is an endless race against time. Recent big hits like Harry Potter and the Order Of the Phoenix depict the only theme of love, yet the incentiveness is on a mystical and magical track. Love whomsoever or whatsoever you adore and have a liking. May it be your lover or your career or your parents/friends. The only feeling onto this universe not bound by the ties of land and water. But beware of the infected infatuation and the lucre cum lust substantials. It is the feeling of true love that marks your subsistence onto this gargantuan globe...!

One of our competitive advantages at Marco V is our tobacco aging and fermenting process. You can read out about that process here:
You can also view this video of our farm here:
When we talk about this process, we receive a few of the same questions frequently. We put together this FAQ below. Let us know your thoughts.
What is tobacco aging?
Tobacco aging for cigars is the process of allowing the tobacco to mature over time. This process helps to improve the flavor and aroma of the cigar, as well as its overall quality. During the aging process, the tobacco leaves are exposed to a variety of environmental conditions, such as temperature, humidity, and air circulation. These conditions help to break down the starches and proteins in the tobacco, which in turn helps to create a smoother, more flavorful smoke. The aging process also helps to reduce the harshness of the smoke, as well as the amount of nicotine present in the cigar.
What is involved in tobacco aging?
The aging process involves storing the tobacco in a controlled environment for a period of time, usually several months or years. During this time, the tobacco is exposed to a variety of conditions, such as temperature, humidity, and air circulation, which help to bring out the flavor and aroma of the tobacco.
What is tobacco fermentation?
Fermentation of cigar tobacco is the process of the sugars being converted into alcohols and acids, which give the tobacco its unique flavor. The fermentation process can take anywhere from a few weeks to several months, depending on the type of tobacco and the desired flavor.
Why do is tobacco hung in drying barns?
Cigar tobacco hangs in a curing barn to allow the leaves to dry and cure. This process helps to reduce the moisture content of the leaves, which helps to improve the flavor and aroma of the cigar. The curing process also helps to reduce the risk of mold and other contaminants that can affect the quality of the cigar.

The national school board group that sparked a nationwide backlash with a letter comparing parents to domestic terrorists was in contact with Biden administration officials before releasing the letter late last month, newly released emails show.
The National School Boards Association (NSBA) on Sept. 29 urged President Joe Biden to take action to stop what it described as “threats and acts of violence” against school boards, teachers, and others involved in the public education sphere.
Five days later, Attorney General Merrick Garland announced federal officials would crack down on parents accused of threatening violence or trying to intimidate educators.
The newly disclosed emails (pdf), obtained by Parents Defending Education, show the NSBA was in touch with the White House and others in the administration before the release of the letter.
“In talks over the last several weeks with White House staff, they requested additional information on some of the specific threats,” Chip Slaven, the NSBA’s interim executive director and CEO, wrote in an email to NSBA board members just hours after the letter was released to the public.
“So the letter also details many of the incidents that have been occurring,” he said.
Most of the incidents the board included related to parents vigorously pushing back on controversial teachings or material and not incidents where any laws appeared to be broken.
Several incidents did ultimately lead to arrests at school board meetings, including a father in Loudoun County, Virginia, who was upset his daughter had been raped and school officials allegedly acted to cover it up.
The NSBA has not responded to requests for comment on the letter, the Department of Justice’s order, or the newly released emails.
Viola Garcia, the group’s president, wrote to NBSA directors on Oct. 2, telling them that the association “has been engaged with the White House and the Department of Education on these and other issues related to the pandemic for several weeks now.”
The White House did not respond to a request for comment and deputy press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was not asked about the emails during a press briefing on Thursday.
Garland, testifying to Congress in Washington, said he learned about the letter by reading about it in the news and had not been told by the White House to issue the memo. He said he was certain the White House communicated its concerns about the letter to his department and that that would be “perfectly appropriate.”
Garland said he did not himself communicate with the White House, the NSBA, or the two largest teacher’s unions in the country before issuing his memo. He also indicated that the Department of Justice used the NSBA as its source for the claim that there has been a spike in harassment and threats of violence against school officials in recent months.
The letter was signed by Garcia and Slaven and shared with the NSBA’s Board of Directors on Sept. 29, the same day it was sent to Biden and the night before it was released publicly. Some on the board indicated they had not agreed to the language in the letter, which included saying acts of malice, violence, and threats against school officials could be classified as “the equivalent to a form of domestic terrorism and hate crimes.”
“I agree with many of my colleagues that the Board of Directors should have been consulted before a letter like this was sent out publicly, and no less to the president of the United States and the national press,” John Halkias, one of the directors, told Slaven on Oct. 1.
“I also agree that the letter took a stance that went beyond what many of us would consider to be reasonable and used terms that were extreme, and asked for action by the federal government that many of us would not request,” he said, before adding that the letter had “created a new and renewed firestorm” and had “given our loudest critics more ammunition to criticize us.”
State school boards representing at least 20 states have also said they disagree with the letter. Some have quit or moved to leave the NSBA.


New Delhi: Mahendra Singh Dhoni, former Indian cricket captain, has moved Supreme Court against the Amrapali group to recover around Rs 40 crore due from the embattled real estate group, which used his services for branding and marketing activities for six years, the Times of India reported.
Between 2009 and 2016, Dhoni entered into various agreements with the Amrapali group to promote the company as its brand ambassador and granted exclusive rights to use his endorsement in marketing and public relations activities. But he parted ways with the real estate group after homebuyers launched a social media campaign against the cricketer for promoting the company, the daily said.
Worth mentioning here is the Supreme Court is already hearing the plea of around 46,000 homebuyers against the group for cheating them by not delivering the flats. The top court had appointed an independent auditor who audited accounts of the group companies and found instances of fund diversion. SC has ordered attachment of all its properties besides those of its associate companies and its directors.
Dhoni approached the apex court to protect his financial stakes. He has requested the court to earmark certain land parcels of the group for him to protect his interests.
“The builder, Amrapali group, owes an amount in excess of Rs 38.95 crore of which Rs 22.53 crore is towards the principal amount and Rs 16.42 crore towards interest calculated at 18% simple interest per annum,” Dhoni said.
The former Indian skipper attached copies of his agreement with the builder along with his petition. Referring to the agreement signed between the Amrapali group and Rhiti Sports, the company that manages some cricketers including Dhoni, the cricketer said, “It was agreed that the firm will provide Amrapali Group with exclusive right to use his (Dhoni’s) endorsement in connection with the advertisements, marketing and PR activities. Also, it was categorically agreed that all the payments under the agreement was to be paid to the applicant (Dhoni) only.”

WATCH: The unannounced, late-night removal of the statue apparently was aimed at avoiding possible protests by locals, who were strongly against its removal. (Video by RFE/RL's Georgian Service)
Authorities in Georgia have removed a towering statue of Soviet dictator Josef Stalin from the central square of his hometown of Gori.
The 6-meter-high statue was removed in the dead of the night in an unannounced operation. Georgian media said police tried to prevent journalists from filming the process, beating some of them.
Local officials said the statue is to be moved to the courtyard of a museum dedicated to Stalin and replaced on the main square by a monument to victims of Georgia's 2008 war with Russia.
Outward signs of Stalin's personality cult were removed after his death in 1953 across Georgia and the rest of the Soviet Union, but many is his hometown remain proud of him.
The Gori statue, which was erected one year before his death, was one of the few monuments to Stalin still standing anywhere.
Gori was the hardest-hit Georgian city in the five-day war between Russia and Georgia in 2008, with bombs hitting the main square near the statue.compiled from agency reports

Tesco’s Newton Abbot store has donated more than 23,000 meals to those in need.
The store belongs to the supermarket chain’s Community Food Connection scheme, which celebrates its fourth birthday this weekend and is run in conjunction with leading food charity FareShare.
This Saturday store colleagues will be talking to customers about how the scheme provides free surplus food, and they will be inviting local charities and community groups who already receive food from the scheme so that they can encourage even more to sign up.
The Community Food Connection scheme ensures that Tesco stores are able to donate surplus food at the end of the day to charities and community groups. It uses an innovative app developed by social enterprise FoodCloud, to notify groups each night about the food available for collection.
Today, more than 7,000 groups are able to pick up free food from their local Tesco store. Since the scheme began, Tesco has donated more than 36 million meals, with more than one million meals a month now being donated.
The Newton Abbot store has donated 23,058 meals so far.
Alec Brown, Head of Community at Tesco, said: “At Tesco we firmly believe that no good food should go to waste. That is why we set up our Community Food Connection scheme, which ensures that our surplus food is put to good use in the local community.
“This weekend we are celebrating four years of the scheme with our colleagues and customers, and we hope this will encourage more groups to sign up so that even more surplus food benefits local groups.”
FareShare Chief Executive Lindsay Boswell said: “The food that Tesco donates makes a really makes a big difference to local charities and communities across the UK.

Former President of Ghana, John Dramani Mahama has called on the government to put together the best brains in the country to come out with a plan to address Ghana’s dire economic situation.
He believes that another Senchi consensus is what Ghana needs to find her feet in a very distressing economic situation.
He noted that the Mid Year budget review many had thought will bring back investor confidence in the country’s economy did not; a worrying situation he believes needs an immediate remedy.
Read His Statement Below
There appears to be no end to the problems with the Ghanaian economy, with the recent downgrade to CCC+/C Junk status.
The steep depreciation of the Ghana Cedi in recent days, clearly shows that the mid-year review of the 2022 budget failed to win back the confidence of the investor community and the Ghanaian public.
Unfortunately, no credible remedial plans have been put forward by the government to salvage the economy.
A national dialogue on the economy, bringing some of our best brains together will serve us well, even as we prepare for debt restructuring and negotiation of an IMF program.

Extracting Electrons out of Colloidal Quantum Dots: Challenges and New Perspectives
**Seminars begin at 4:00 PM and will be held in Clark Hall Room 101**
December 4, 2015
Colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals, also known as quantum dots, are fascinating building blocks for a variety of applications that rely, one way or another, on the ability to manipulate and control the generation, the separation, and the transport of electrical charges - applications such as solid-state lighting, solar energy conversion, photoredox chemistry, to name but a few. Quantum dots are intrinsically at the intersection between large molecular species and solid-state materials, and as such exhibit hybrid properties from both limiting forms. Like molecules, quantum dots can be chemically modified by changing their chemical composition (i.e. size, surface ligand functionalization…) and, to a large extent, can be fabricated and processed using traditional chemical synthesis approaches; at the same time, the behavior of quantum dots is most easily described using the same band-structure formalism developed by solid-state physics to describe bulk semiconductors. Whereas the solid-state formalism is very well suited to describe the photophysics of quantum dots idealized as perfect particle-in-a-spherical-box models, there are challenges associated with understanding the behavior of quantum dots as electron donors and/or acceptors, a regime quite clearly outside the realm of the idealized infinite potential barrier at the surface of the quantum dot. Our research program aims at characterizing this behavior in detail by designing molecular electron-acceptors that are tuned for specific single-electron-transfer regimes. In a first time, we explored the interaction between a variety of stable nitroxide free radicals, including TEMPO and nitronyl nitroxides, and II-VI chalcogenide quantum dots. These free radicals are shown to act as efficient quenchers of the intrinsic photoluminescence of colloidal quantum dots, an effect directly associated to efficient electron transfers from the photo excited quantum dots to the free radicals. By changing the structure and functionalization of these radicals, different aspects of electronic charge transfer can be monitored, including the first indirect observation of photo-induced proton-assisted electron transfer involving colloidal quantum dots. We will also discuss the role that inhomogeneous surface disorder in colloidal quantum dots plays in interfacial electron transfer.

A Guide To House Training Puppies & Adult Dogs
Whether you’ve adopted an energetic puppy or a fully grown adult dog, you may be struggling with one of the most important types of training: House Training. Let’s face it, having to constantly clean up after our dogs is not exactly ideal, especially with puppies and their much smaller bladders. This article will guide you through how you can house Train your dogs at home, no matter their age!
Let’s Start With Puppies…
Having a routine:
The very first step in house training a puppy is establishing a daily routine. Not just for potty breaks, but for everything. For walks, playtimes, feeding, etc. Take them out at least every 2 hours for their potty breaks and ensure that they are consistent. For walks, try to keep their walks around the same time every day, preferably when the sun is low in the early morning or early evenings, so that the ground is not too hot for their little paws. A consistent feeding schedule is also vital to maintaining an effective routine. Puppies require feedings up to three times a day, and setting up their feeding times to be around the same time every day also helps to limit them breaking their routine and peeing where they should not. An ideal feeding schedule should be established after walks, and ideally their food should be given to them at least 30 minutes after returning from their walk. Another part of the routine to include is to remove your puppies water bowl at night, in order to reduce the risk of them having an accident inside while you sleep.
Pick their “toilet” spot:
Having their own spot to go to the toilet also helps puppies in establishing their routines. Whether it’s a specific spot on their daily walks, on a designated pee pad, or a spot in the garden. If you’re leading your pup into a specific spot in the garden or on a pee pad where you want them to go to the toilet, use a leash to guide them. You can use a specific phrase to instruct them every time, so that eventually they will know to do it on command. You can also make use of the Simple Solution Puppy Training Aid to help encourage your puppy to urinate or defecate on the targeted area.
You CANNOT go wrong with positive reinforcement! When your puppy goes to the toilet successfully in their designated area, or even just outside or on walks, praise them. Something as simple as an enthusiastic or cheerful “good dog!” or “yay” can make an impact on their training. You can even make use of treats. Lily’s Kitchen Puppy Nibbles are specially formulated for puppies’ sensitive stomachs, and are small enough to use for positive reinforcement training. Eventually your puppy will learn that if they go to the toilet in the right place at the right time they will be rewarded and will continue to maintain their housetraining.
Dealing with accidents in the house:
There are bound to be messes along the way, and house training is not easy and is never successful without a few accidents happening along the way! In this instance, cleanups are required, but there are rules too. First of all, scolding is discouraged, as it might discourage them from peeing at all when you’re around which could undo any training you’ve been working on. If you notice your pup has made a mess, just take them outside to do their business, while you supervise. When cleaning, make sure that your puppy doesn’t see you cleaning after them, as they will likely repeat it. Another reason why they repeat peeing in one spot, is because there is still residue or some scent left over from their urine. Using any stain & odor remover will help to remove the smell entirely, and discourage repeat urination.
Encourage further basic training:
Keeping up with basic training not only contributes towards your puppy following their routine, but it also establishes obedience. Regularly training them to sit, stay, come, etc. can make an impact. Obedience training can have a positive effect on their behavior and as a result, can strongly enforce house training.
Moving On To Older Dogs…
Giving them their own space:
This method is effective with both puppies and older dogs. Consider getting a crate or a pen for your dog to stay in between playtimes and toilet breaks. This helps to ensure your dog is not going to the toilet inside when unsupervised. Dogs generally dislike having toilet mess in their sleeping area, and will avoid urinating or defecating inside, which encourages your dog to avoid going to the toilet until it’s time to do so. Ensure that the crate or pen you get for your dog has enough space for them to move, stand or sleep in. If your dog is crated at night or while you’re at work, make sure you have a pee pad set up for them if the need arises, so that they have some form of relief that does not make a mess.
Regular toilet breaks:
Naturally, if your dog is going to be enclosed for long periods of time, it is imperative that they are taken out regularly for toilet breaks. Adult dogs should be given toilet breaks between 3 to 5 times a day, during that time, encourage them to run and play once they’ve done their business, so that they can get the exercise they need and release any energy they’ve built up. Playtimes during supervised toilet breaks are also an excellent way for yourself and your dog to bond. Just like with puppies, make use of positive reinforcement whenever your dog successfully goes to the toilet outside in their designated spot. JR Training Treats make ideal treats for potty training.
Cleanup in case of accidents in the house:
As is the case with puppies, it is important that your dog not see you clean up after them. Adult dogs are prone to “marking” their territory with urine (more typically those who are not castrated), which they will do repeatedly in one spot unless it is thoroughly cleaned with an odor destroyer. You can also use
Try to avoid too much excitement around the house, especially when you come home after being out for a few hours. When you get home, avoid making a fuss while greeting your dogs, and stay calm. Sometimes excitement can trigger your dogs into urinating whether they have control or not. Avoid loud noises or shouting as well, as this might scare your dog and may cause them to urinate or act out by going to the toilet inside. A dog that suffers from anxiety is more prone to have accidents indoors without their control, which is why remaining calm around them is imperative.
If your older dog is still making a mess inside instead of going outside for the toilet, then there could be an underlying problem at hand. Have your dog seen by your local vet in order to ensure that they aren’t fighting any infections or gastrointestinal upsets.
We hope that this guide will help save your floors and your sanity! Being a dog parent can be tough, but putting in the work necessary to train them is very rewarding!

Abiquo is a hypervisor-independent cloud solution that can manage multiple virtualization technologies. It is able to deploy virtual appliances to many different hypervisors, and manage them from a rich web interface. The following sections describe the template disk formats supported by the Abiquo platform, and the formats supported by the hypervisors Abiquo manages.
To retrieve the information about Supported Disk Format Types from the Abiquo API, use the requests of the DiskFormatTypes Resource
The following table shows the different formats supported by the hypervisors. If you upload a template in a format not supported by your hypervisor to the Appliance Library view, Abiquo will convert it to the most suitable format.
The hypervisor default format (also called the base format) for each hypervisor is marked with a .
Change base format and formats offered
You can configure the list of formats offered and the base format using Abiquo Configuration Properties. See Abiquo Configuration Properties#pluginmetadata
Deploy VHDX templates
Deploy VHDX templates
In the above table, the hypervisor default format (also called the base format) for each hypervisor is marked with a . This is the preferred deployment format for this hypervisor, and if there is a disk in the base format, Abiquo will deploy this disk.
Abiquo converts disks from other hypervisor formats into the base format. For example, if you upload a VHD template and you have ESXi hypervisors, Abiquo will convert it into VMDK fixed format
Abiquo will not convert templates that are in other compatible formats for the same hypervisor. For example, if you upload a VMDK Sparse template for ESXi, then Abiquo will deploy the template as a VM with a sparse disk. However, if you somehow have both a sparse and a fixed format for the same disk, Abiquo will deploy the fixed format disk with thin provisioning enabled.
Abiquo will convert an Abiquo instance disk to hypervisor base format, but the administrator can control this conversion with properties. See Abiquo Configuration Properties#instance
For each hypervisor, the administrator can override the available formats and the default format using properties. See Abiquo Configuration Properties#pluginmetadata
Raw format for persistent virtual machine templates
The Disk from device or raw format is used for persistent VM templates. Before creating a persistent VM template, Abiquo converts the template's disks to raw format and then dumps them to a volume on the selected storage.
Abiquo supports ISO disks, which may be bootable installation disks (added to templates) or data disks (added to VMs). See:

Having never been happy with the RS monarch plus on my Transition suppressor I was on the look out for a new shock. I was never able to get the bike feeling great over small bumps while still soaking up the big hits without bottoming out. Adding bands to the positive air chamber did ramp up the spring and prevent bottoming out but you could feel it and made the shock nasty on landing. Over all the tune of the shock, coupled with the linkage curve made for a soggy handling.
Having previously using a push tuned van RC from TFtuned I was all set to get a coil but concerns over the piggyback of the shock hitting the down tube put a damper on that idea. Although I haven’t actually tried any other shock on the bike, the CCDB air just fits the medium patrol, while the DHX2 and X-fusion Vector doesn’t appear to. I appear to have the only small suppressor/patrol on the planet so don’t have any conclusive proof that they don’t fit. I could have got the monarch shim stack tuned by TFtuned or J-tech suspension or even had an avalanche SSD/HSB conversion fitted by sprung suspension in the UK but I wasn’t prepared to take the chance that it wouldn’t actually improve it.
The release of the DB inline coil appeared to solve my problem and keep the weight down (DBCS coil with standard CC coil is ~950g in 216×63 + 400lb spring, 485g). The Damper unit weights in at 295 g including hardware compared to ~454 g for the DB coil CS. As well as the new IL coil damper, cane creek have released a lightweight steel spring, the Valt, similar to that of Fox’s SLS and Push’s hyperco coils. The weight difference between the standard spring and the Valt varies between 50-211 g with a weight saving of approx 123 g for the 2.5 400 lb unit ( Valt spring ~382 g) Most of this weight loss is from the lack of piggyback on the IL coil and for the average joe the extra cooling afforded by a piggyback (more oil volume) shouldn’t be noticed. The inline air shock has ~50% more oil than a standard non-piggyback shock and couple that with a lack of air spring to get hot it should be more than enough for the trails in the UK.
I ordered the IL coil from TFtuned with a standard steel spring (400 lb) although this turned out to be too heavy due to my mother in-laws scales over reading. I’ll keep the 400 lb spring for more hardcore days and fort william or inners. With the 400 lb spring, the unit tipped the scales at 790g compared to 410g for my monarch plus. I can feel the difference when lifting the bike but not on the trails
Fitting was easy on the suppressor frame and I adjusted the LSR slightly from the settings TFtuned had made.
You can instantly tell the difference between a coil shock and air as the initial compression doesn’t have to break the friction of the air seals so pushed down easy. The IL coil also uses a bladder to separate the oil and pressurised nitrogen rather than an IFP traditionally found in shocks which adds to the sensitivity of the shock. This is translated into much better small bump sensitivity making for a smoother, faster ride.
My first ride on the shock was a gentle 2 mile jaunt round my local park trails with my son and his transition suppressor. While the park isn’t inners or even glentress it does provide a technical climb and rooty decent which was perfect for the first try. Unlike the DHX2, the climb switch on the DB IL coil (and other CC products) increases both LSC & LSR which doesn’t lock or totally stiffen up the shock allowing some shock movement which makes for more traction as the rear end of the bike can still respond to bumps. The suppressor/patrol is quite an active platform and you do get a bit of pedal bob sitting, the coil still had this but it wasn’t any greater than the monarch plus set to open. Compared to the monarch plus set to climb, the DB IL coil isn’t as still but makes for better traction over roots.
On the way down the shock felt instantly better than the monarch even though I wasn’t running as much sag. it soaked up the roots with ease and didn’t feel soggy over the jumps or g-outs that I felt with the monarch. I’ve purchased a nukeproof SLS spring from chain reaction cycles as the Valt spring doesn’t come in the weight I need so I’ll update this once it arrives and give a better review of the shock once I’ve set it up properly with the lighter weight spring.
Edit – SLS spring arrived and weighs 360 g for the 350 lb version.
Overall I’m really happy with the initial ride of the bike with the CC DB IL coil fitted and looking forward to the lighter spring and longer more technical rides.
oh and thanks to Russell @tftuned for the advice

Popular electronic drummer Akiro Kimbo uses the electronic drum kit in interesting and innovative ways, delighting and entertaining music fans all across the world. Music equipment companies such as Yamaha began manufacturing electronic drum pads that were mounted on acoustic drum kits to produce a synthesized sound.
After Allen lost his arm in a car accident, he had a special electronic drum kit made so that he was still able to play. Later on, he had a second kit made that would play back pre-recorded components of his acoustic drum kit whenever he struck a pad.
Beginning in the 1980’s, electronic drum kits began to see a wider fan base and it was becoming common to see bands incorporate them with acoustic drum sets. At the point of their first introduction in the 1970’s, and even into the early 1980’s, it was uncommon to see electronic drum kits used by themselves because they had not been perfected.
Electronic drum kits have not witnessed universal success and usage. They were created to produce a ground-breaking sound above and beyond the capabilities of the classic drum kit. The preference of the majority of rock bands today is still the classic kit, the electronic drum kit has broken down the old-school barriers and have appealed to those wanting to add some creativity and vision to the world of music.
Bill Bruford of the band King Crimson was one of the first to introduce the electronic drum kit into his set. His usage of the drum kit almost completely abolished his need for acoustic drums because of the quality of his sound.
Drum kits have evolved significantly in recent decades from the classic bass-snare-cymbal combination into electronic devices that have essentially changed the way music is made. Electronic drum kits were first introduced in the early 1970’s as an innovative piece of equipment used to produce drum sounds electronically rather than acoustically.

These pictures were captured in January 2013 in Bonaire during a trip with Lancaster Scuba Center. Bonaire remains a favorite destination for photographing various subjects. This year I was pleased to find a yellow frogfish. Observing the fish for over 20 minutes allowed me to capture an impressive yawn. Each year I return, I am impressed by the sponge growth on the Hilma Hooker. Finding cryptic teardrop crabs on sponges at nightime was a new subject as well. Mantas were seen every day by many from the group. Unfortunately they seemed to be elusive to my lens.

These tiny, flipping microbots, currently being developed by researchers at Purdue University, could one day deliver drugs directly inside the body. The magnetically propelled bots are no wider than a pinhead.
Look, I didn’t want to write this. Centipedes have too many legs and they move so quickly and it’s all just fucking nasty and wrong.
Researchers in Japan have developed a remarkable new robot that bears a startling resemblance to the Droideka of Star Wars. Called QRoSS, this throwable, sphere-shaped robot can move around either by rolling or walking on all fours. Mercifully, it’s not capable of firing lasers or engaging force fields...at least not…
Roboticists have developed a “mother” robot that can build and evaluate her own “children,” and then decide which version performs best to inform the design of the next generation. Remarkably, the system doesn’t require any human intervention.
Pangolins, or Scaly Anteaters, are fascinating creatures. The eight pangolin species are found in Africa and parts of Asia, and they're the only mammals whose skin is covered in scales.
Kangaroos are famous for their hopping, but a slow-moving roo relies more on its tail to get around than either of its feet. The result is a what biologists call a five-limbed, i.e. "pentapedal," gait. Yes, you read that correctly. The kangaroo is a pentaped – perhaps the only one on Earth.
Most insects walk forward three legs at a time, a manner of locomotion known as the alternating tripod gait. But scientists have recently learned that there’s at least one insect, the industrious dung beetle, that moves along with a galloping gait — and they’re kinda perplexed as to why.
Jellyfish are known for their ability to take over ecosystems, even though they're less efficient swimmers and hunters than their fishy competition. But a new study shows that jellyfish may rule the waves by actually being the most energy-efficient animals in the world. Here's how.
Certain species of longtail carpet sharks (or bamboo sharks) have an unusual means of locomotion. Instead of swimming, these sharks wriggle their bodies and push against the floor with their pectoral and pelvic fins. It's a strange sight to behold.
We recently learned that women can have orgasms from exercising, and now it seems the pleasures of exercise are even more deeply woven into our evolution. The "runner's high" experienced after strenuous exertion was actually key to our species' success.
Hundreds of millions of years ago, the first land animals emerged, facing new challenges unlike any their aquatic ancestors had experienced. But their marine predecessors had solved one big problem for living on land: they already knew how to walk.
One of the most basic differences separating us from other apes is our ability to walk fully upright, and that goes back to the emergence of the Homo genus 1.9 million years ago. At least...that's what we used to think.
Paul Priestman, designer of Britain's widely-used Virgin Pendolino train cars, thinks his country is in need of a new transportation icon, one that upholds the legacy of the Rolls Royce and the Concorde. His vision? The double-decker Mercury train.

What Is a Targeted Accrual Redemption Note?
A targeted accrual redemption note (TARN) is an exotic derivative that terminates when a limit on coupon payments to the holder is reached.
Target accrual redemption notes (TARN) have the distinguishing feature of being subject to early termination. If the accumulation of coupons reaches a predetermined amount before the settlement date, the holder of the note receives a final payment of the par value and the contract ends.
- A targeted accrual redemption note (TARN) is an index-linked derivative containing a target cap.
- The cap refers to the maximum amount of accumulated coupon payments received.
- Once the cap has been reached, the note automatically terminates.
- FX-TARNS are linked to an index of currencies rather than equities.
Understanding Targeted Accrual Redemption Notes (TARNs)
A targeted accrual redemption note is essentially an index-linked note that has a set amount of coupons that represent the target cap. After the target cap is reached, the note will be terminated with the par of the note being paid. So there is usually an attractive initial coupon combined with the possibility of getting back the par value relatively fast. An index-linked note an investment product that combines a fixed-income investment with additional potential returns that are tied to the performance of an equity index such as the S&P 500 index.
Aside from these index-linked features, TARNs are similar to inverse floating-rate notes where the benchmark may be LIBOR, Euribor, or a similar rate. TARNs can also be conceptualized as path-dependent options: the end-user in effect buys a strip of call options while selling a strip of put options with a notional value that is double the calls'. The contract may include a knock-out provision that terminates it if the benchmark reaches a certain level.
Foreign exchange TARNs or FX-TARNs are a common form of TARN in which counterparties exchange currencies at a pre-determined rate on pre-determined dates. The amount of currency exchanged varies depending on whether the rate is above or below a set forward price.
Valuation of Targeted Accrual Redemption Notes (TARNs)
The valuation of targeted accrual redemption notes can be challenging because the redemption timelines are dependent on the coupons received to date. Once the knock-out level is reached, the investment is ended and the principal is repaid. From an investor's perspective, a great initial coupon rate for a time and an early return of capital is an ideal outcome. However, depending on how the indexed rates perform, an investor may be stuck in the investment and see the time value of money erode what was once an attractive shorter-term investment.
Generally speaking, the value of a note is the present value of the par and coupon payments. However, there is uncertainty with targeted accrual redemption notes because not all coupon payments will necessarily be received. So instead of a linear calculation on present value, a TARN requires a simulation of interest rate volatility to assess the probability of triggering the knock-out level given the terms of the note. TARNs tied to volatile benchmarks will necessarily be more difficult to accurately value.

Elsie is my paternal grandmother. Our family has been on an adventure to uncover her life story, while I’ve made a commitment to write her story as a novel.
For 12 years, from 1950 to 1962, Elsie was in involuntary confinement at the Parkside Lunatic Asylum (later renamed Glenside Hospital) in South Australia.
Thanks to David, the President of the Glenside Historical Society, we discovered we could apply for Elsie’s medical records through SA Health under the Freedom of Information Act.
Astonishingly, we now have in our possession 300 pages of her records. Most of the handwritten notes, however, are illegible and there’s no account of her 12 years in confinement (most records were post 1962 after her release back into society).
While there were some interesting snippets in the files, to be honest, I’m a little disappointed. Perhaps I’d hoped to find something more shocking and revealing.
Some months later, it occurred to me to reconnect with David and let him know about the records. Little did I know David had also been a psychologist at Glenside from 1973 to 1998.
Long story short, he has now transcribed the records for us and will soon offer us his insights into Elsie’s condition and diagnosis, the treatments she might have endured and what daily life might have been like for her in confinement.
As we began pulling at the threads of our family story, we have found it unraveling in mysterious ways. People, events and opportunities appear from nowhere, and everywhere, to help us piece together my grandmother’s life.
Our connection with David is just one example of the many synchronous things that have occurred since beginning our investigations.
Elsie’s story is one of the most exciting and scary writing projects I’ve embarked upon. First, there’s a whole new set of creative writing skills to learn. Second, it’s a little unnerving uncovering family secrets that have, until now, remained hidden. Last, there are the expectations (real or imagined) of my family on how to write Elsie’s story and if they will like what I write.
There is so much uncertainty around this project and how it will unfold — which is perhaps the whole point of any creative act. To embrace uncertainty, and begin anyway.
And, so I can do justice to my grandmother and help her story find its rightful place in our family history.
Every family has a story like Elsie’s in it. Is 2024 the year you will commit to writing it?

He's Strictly's fabulous and flamboyant Judge, who always knows how to raise our stars' spirits on a Saturday night!
Legendary dancer and choreographer Bruno has worked with some of the biggest and best names in the music, including as Elton John, Michael Jackson, Freddie Mercury, Tina Turner and Paul McCartney. But he comes from humble beginnings, hailing from Ferrara - a small town in north eastern Italy.
A deflated balloon would have had more rhythm..!Bruno Tonioli
He made the move into the world of dance after seeing the 1972 musical Cabaret eight times in a row, instantly knowing that on stage is where he belongs. Despite his parents encouraging him to take a job in a bank, he made his way to Rome and started taking ballet lessons.
At 18, he left Rome to perform with Parisian dance company La Grande Eugene, before settling in London permanently two years later. He danced his way through a variety of major shows and music videos, including Elton John's I'm Still Standing, moving into choreography after his work was featured on Not The Nine O'Clock News.
Bruno has been a permanent fixture on the Strictly judging panel since 2004, as well as being a regular guest Judge on Dancing with the Stars in America.
But dancing isn't his only talent, as he can also speak five languages: Italian, English, Portuguese, Spanish, and French!

Beautiful shoesThese shoes are really beautiful and elegant, the platform made them comfy even with such a high stiletto heel. But returned them, unfortunately for me my toes felt too squished in the peep toe front part, better for women with narrow feet.

Electro is a genre of electronic dance music directly influenced by the use of TR-808 drum machines, and funk sampling. Records in the genre typically feature drum machines and heavy electronic sounds, usually without vocals, although if vocals are present they are delivered in a deadpan manner, often through electronic distortion such as vocoding and talkboxing. This is the main distinction between electro and previously prominent genres such as disco, in which the electronic sound was only part of the instrumentation.
Kraftwerk is ground zero for over 30 years of the Electro sound, which merged in to the mainstream with the electronic sound of New Wave 80s. Moby again popularized the Electro sound as we entered the 21st century. With roots in Techno, Electro now branches in the directions of vocal dance music and edgy pop.
