Editor's Choice Jack Nicklaus Departs With Tears and Cheers
Sun | Local
Golf legend Jack Nicklaus walks to the 18th hole, nearing the end of his final round ever in the British Open golf championship on the Old Course at St. Andrews, Scotland. Laurent Rebours | Associated Press
ST. ANDREWS, Scotland
From the road alongside the 18th green of the Old Course, from the grandstands, from windows and balconies and rooftops, applause cascaded upon Jack Nicklaus, a 65-year-old golf legend playing his last round in a major championship.
It ended, appropriately, with a long birdie putt, a wave to the fans and, after he wiped away tears, a short walk up the steps of the weathered, gray, stone clubhouse of the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews, cheers still reverberating off its darkly tinted windows.
At exactly 6 p.m. here Friday, the Nicklaus era ended in professional golf.
He shot even-par 72 but missed the cut in his 38th British Open, a tournament he played for the first time in 1962.
Nicklaus had said the Open Championship would be his last tournament, but he has hinted he might play again at his own tournament, the Memorial, held at his home course in Dublin, Ohio.
The throng of spectators for Nicklaus' farewell spilled over the back of the green, where his family looked on. If it was a going-away party, it was a Nicklaus family affair. One of his sons, Steve, caddied for him, and savored the moment.
Nicklaus' wife, Barbara, two more of his sons, Gary and Jackie, and his daughter, Nan, greeted him as he left the 18th green.
"I sort of let my emotions go," he said. "The people were fantastic. Actually, as I was coming down the last few holes, I'm saying, 'Man, I don't want to go through this again.' Maybe it's just as well I miss the cut.
"I think these people have been wonderful. They've given of themselves and gave me a lot more than I deserved. I'm probably better off getting out of here. Obviously, I kept trying to do the best I could."
It was a warm and respectful reception for Nicklaus, much like what Arnold Palmer received when he made his final appearance at the British Open, at the Old Course in 1995.
"Jack's given a lot to the game of golf," said Phil Mickelson, one of today's stars, ranked fourth in the world. "I think it was the team effort of the rivalry with Jack and Arnold that propelled golf. I don't think one could have done it without the other.
"To play championship golf the way Jack and Arnie did it just made for great theater. The majors he has won has inspired a lot of players."
In today's game, Tiger Woods this week is attempting to join Nicklaus as the only players to have won all four majors at least twice. Nicklaus won each of the four at least three times, including a record six Masters. He won the PGA Championship five times, the U.S. Open four times and the British Open three times.
His PGA Tour victories number 73 — his first the 1962 U.S. Open; his last the 1986 Masters. Sam Snead is at the top of the victory list with 82. Nicklaus shares with Palmer the record for consecutive years — 17 — winning at least one tournament.
Eight times Nicklaus led the PGA Tour in scoring average and he was also runner-up six years. He was the top money winner eight times and earned $5.7 million, not an overpowering total since his career did not coincide with the boom in tournament purses.
In Nicklaus' greatest seasons, 1971 and 1972, the total prize money for either year did not exceed $8 million. Last year, $252 million was awarded at tournaments on the PGA Tour.
Before he started cashing checks as a pro, Nicklaus was a dominant amateur, winning the U.S. Amateur twice. He was 20 when he finished second to Palmer in the 1960 U.S. Open at Cherry Hills. The next year he turned pro, and he joined the PGA Tour in 1962.
In 1950, Kaye Kessler was a sportswriter at the Columbus Citizen in Ohio and one day drove to Scioto Country Club to meet the new professional, Jack Grout, who suggested a story about the club's junior program. Grout said one of the kids, a 10-year-old, could really play.
It was Nicklaus, who, in the club's first junior tournament, shot a 51 for the first nine holes he ever played.
Kessler walked the Old Course this week and watched Nicklaus play, studying the familiar stooped putting style and a still-fluid swing. He couldn't help but be reminded of the 10-year-old he first saw 55 years ago.
"He was awesome," Kessler recalled. "You could just see he had it, the confidence, the determination, everything. You just knew he was going to be something. And I'm not sure we'll see anything like him again."

I loved the bonus sketch on The Scrappiest and thought it would be perfect for these photos. I used Coredinations navy cs and Papermania papers from the Persimmon collection (love this collection!). I added a Colorbok heart, some buttons and some journaling, done with my Dymo. The title is computer generated, I really wish I had done it a bit bigger, oh well.
For my second layout I had the perfect photo's in mind but they still haven't arrived from the printers so I'll show you what I have so far. I used a sketch from challenge 6 on Sketches in thyme. I also used BasicGrey paper , Coredinations cs that I embossed with the stars Cuttlebug folder. The title was stamped and then embossed and cut out.
Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your day :)

The American Civil Liberties Union has filed a federal lawsuit to keep the only remaining abortion clinic in Kentucky from shuttering.
Gov. Matt Bevin's administration ordered the EMW Women's Surgical Center in Louisville to be shut down earlier this month, arguing that the center lacked "proper agreements for patient care in the event of a medical emergency," according to the Courier-Journal.
The requirement that abortion clinics essentially function as hospitals was the same one that threatened to close most of the 41 abortion clinics in Texas, and was eventually deemed unconstitutional in the Supreme Court's June Whole Woman's Health v. Hellerstedt landmark ruling.
The ACLU plans to make its case for the EMW Women's Surgical Center on the same grounds, stating in a press release that the nation's highest court has already decided Bevin's mandate serves no other purpose than to pose "real harm to women."
EMW became the last abortion clinic when Bevin filed a lawsuit against the state's Planned Parenthood in February, claiming the facility had violated state law by performing abortions without a license.
Planned Parenthood representatives denied the allegations, maintaining that former Democratic Gov. Steve Beshear's cabinet had given the facility the green light to begin offering abortions and all other reproductive health services.
Bevin nonetheless went on to ban the Planned Parenthood from providing abortions until it received admitting privileges at local hospitals — the same stipulations threatening EMW's closure.
Should Bevin succeed in shuttering the surgical center, attorney Don Cox said it would have "devastating consequences" for women in Kentucky, whose ability to access an abortion would mean having to cross state lines.
Cox said, "The state is hiding behind sham justifications when its true intent is to shut down this clinic and prevent a woman from making a real decision about her pregnancy."

Check Out Ghillie Dhu
Ronald and Cat were getting married. They were looking for a band that would provide the ceilidh music that Scottish lassie Cat loved, the expert instructions that Dutch knakker Ronald knew his friends and family would need and the covers that would have their guests up boogying in between! Up stepped Jiggered.
The venue? Edinburgh’s Ghillie Dhu. Stunning architecture, central city setting, experienced sound team…it’s a class act.
At the end of the evening, the couple were delighted with our set…Cat said (and I’m paraphrasing to tone down some of her colourful language!) “That was amazing. I mean I’m Scottish and I’ve danced away to some dances I’ve never even heard of. I love a good ceilidh- thanks.”

Journalist; contributed to the weeklies Shahrvand-e Emrooz and Irandokht, the newspaper Ham-Mihan, the journal Mehr Nameh, the monthly publication Andisheh Pouya, and the website Iranian History.
Date of Birth
Place of Birth
Saman Safarzaei, born in 1985 in Mashhad in northeast Iran, has a degree in mechanical engineering from University of Shahrood. He started his journalism career in 2007, writing about foreign policy and Iranian history for various publications and websites. He has conducted many interviews with foreign experts on international relations and history, which have been published by the monthly publication Andisheh Pouya.
Following his arrest it was rumored that Safarzaei has lived outside Iran for a short while. But a relative told IranWire that, “he has never lived outside Iran and such irresponsible reporting can complicate his case.”
At least four other journalists were detained in the first few days of November 2015. Within two days the Revolutionary Guards arrested Isa Saharkhiz, journalist and political activist, Ehsan Mazandarani, managing editor of the newspaper Farhikhtegan, and Afarin Chitsaz, a member of the editorial board of the newspaper Iran. The name of the fifth person has not been disclosed.
The charges against Safarzaei are unknown, but the Intelligence Unit of the Revolutionary Guards has accused the arrested journalists of being members of an “infiltration network” cooperating with hostile foreign governments.
In the evening of November 4, Safarzaei was allowed to make a short phone call to his family. He had just enough time to assure them of his health before he was cut off. As of this writing, his whereabouts are unknown.

They have also been subjected to rigorous testing to ensure they are fit for the purpose of looking after your valuable or heavy items.
Popular with companies exporting goods aboard, our new heavy duty cartons are now a more popular choice for customers who previously favoured triple wall corrugated cartons as their method of packing. Made from heavy weight board and with strong fluting combinations, these extra heavy duty boxes are more cost effective than triple wall cartons.
For many customers purchasing these cartons it is vital to understand the specifics of their technical make up and performance. The product table above summarises the key technical specifications and by clicking on the ‘More info’ tab you can access even more in-depth and relevant facts. These include important metrics about how these boxes perform:-
On each related ‘More info’ table you will also find both the internal and external measurements of the boxes. The external dimensions for this type of box, with its typical applications, are vital for anyone using them to export out of the country. This is because the exact space the filled box will occupy is a key element for calculating the cost of export and is a key measurable for shipping companies.
If you need any further information on our Extra Heavy Duty Cardboard boxes, or any other items in our range our sales team are always happy to help.
Below is a diagram representing the flutes our extra heavy duty cartons are manufactured with. Please click on the ‘more info’ tab in the price table to see which flute applies to your chosen size.
Box dimensions refer to the internal (usable) dimensions and are always measured in the same order.
1. Longest opening dimension (length)
2. Shortest opening dimension (width)
3. Depth (height)
Depending on the board grade and flute, the internal and external dimensions of a box can differ significantly. Watch our ‘how to measure a box’ video to find out more.
Corrugated cartons differ in strength depending on the combination of fluting, and weight of paper used, to create a solid board. A single wall box has one layer of fluting, and a double wall box has two (giving extra strength, better suited to heavier items).
Many of our boxes have a ‘multi-score’ feature, giving you the option to vary the depth of the box to a pre-scored dimension. Simply cut the existing slots (between the flaps), fold along the pre-scored crease, and you create a shallower depth carton.
Compare our most popular types of boxes in the table below:
Use the grid below to see the range of sizes we offer in our cardboard boxes range, and the types of boxes that are available in each variant:
We sell various types of boxes, from standard duty single wall to extra heavy duty.
Single wall boxes are identified by the prefix ‘CSW’.
Heavy duty Enviro-boxes have a clear ‘Enviro’ print on one of the flaps.
Double wall boxes have a code starting ‘CDW’.
As you can see, our single wall boxes have a single layer of corrugated board. They are our best value option for packing lightweight goods.
Enviro-boxes are made from a thicker and more rigid single wall board. These are suitable for slightly heavier goods.
Double wall boxes have 2 layers of corrugated board, making them our strongest general-use boxes. They can be used to pack heavy items such as books.
We also sell extra heavy boxes, suitable for very heavy items such as engineering components.

To check that your box is the correct size, measure the length, width and height on the INSIDE of the box.
All dimensions provided for our boxes are internal.
Step 3: Wrap your product in a suitable padding material and place inside the box.
It should be a snug fit to prevent movement.
Step 4: Close the box and seal with tape or strapping as required.

Will Fashion District Succeed Where the Gallery Failed?
What our new downtown mall, opening this month, will tell us about the fate of Philly retail.
The American mall is dead. Or is it? On the one hand, there are the raw numbers: By April 2019, retailers had already announced they planned to close more stores than they did in all of 2018. How could the mall be anything but dead? And yet this month, Fashion District — the long-awaited $400 million renovation of the old Gallery mall — will finally open on Market Street. How could the mall be anything but alive?
PREIT, one of the companies behind Fashion District, has reasons to hope. For starters, unlike the Gallery, Fashion District will bring a long-overdue cineplex to Center City. Entertainment to draw people into malls is critical when they could more easily shop online. “Successful malls are multi-use,” says Wharton marketing professor Barbara Kahn.
The problem is that for an 800,000-square-foot complex with the word “fashion” in its name, Fashion District has tenants — H&M (not bad), Sunglass Hut (really?), GameStop (yikes) — that are mostly … unfashionable. A segment of the mall is dedicated to four more stylish local vendors, which is at least promising.
Joe Coradino, the CEO of PREIT, says he never sought luxury brands like Prada or Hugo Boss: “We’re creating a retail and entertainment destination for all Philadelphians. Not just the wealthy.” A noble sentiment — but did it have to be an all-or-nothing proposition?
It appears Fashion District will at least rectify the Gallery’s fatal flaw: its architecture. The Gallery was really a suburban mall plopped into a city — it faced inward, not outward. As Coradino says, “It defended itself from the pedestrian.” The Gallery had just three entrances; Fashion District will have 20.
That alone is cause for optimism. A building should assimilate into its city’s ecosystem, not cordon itself off. But the big question remains: Even with all those doors, will there be enough inside to entice us there?
Published as “Mall … or Nothing at All” in the September 2019 issue of Philadelphia magazine.

“Have faith and keep learning.”
Hello! I’m Arnob. I joined the amazing family of Stellar as a Community Moderator for YieldBlox. I’ve worked for & with several other projects on Stellar, took part in managing a NFT workshop with the help of amazing people from the Jpeg Dao. It has been an amazing journey with Stellar for me :D
Art to me works like motivation, something that gives me power to work or concentrate. From my view art can be drawn art, animated art, a tune or a song. A game can be a piece of art too. It can be anything that carries the emotion of its creator.
I’m still a newbie in the development world. I started to learn code around 2 years ago. I’m currently a computer science student, the drive behind me learning to code would be my dream to make a XR open world RPG accessible to anyone, anywhere.
My favorite artist on the Stellar Network would be Gnaw aka Gnaw, The Bear — the founder of GnawbearsNFT. He was like a mentor to me to many new aspects of the Crypto world (especially NFT). I also look up to LumenJack, Andrew (INK), Metalcrazy, Silence and many other artists out there!
My goal is to build something that can benefit and unify the projects on Stellar. It’s a secret for now, but if it’s successful, everyone will be benefitted. For now, I pass my day studying for university and learning to code.

Citizens Advice has been given an extra £80,000 to help people save safely for Christmas after the Farepak collapse.
Charlie Dimmock helped launch the OFT's £1m "Save Xmas" campaign
The Office of Fair Trading (OFT) launched the £1m "Save Xmas" campaign in June to help prevent a repeat of the savings club's downfall in 2006.
Farepak left an estimated 150,000 savers about £40m out of pocket when it went into administration last October.
Customers have been told they should get back 5p in the pound, but do not know when they will receive any money.
Improved financial awareness
This is the second grant the OFT has awarded to Citizens Advice as part of the "Save Xmas" campaign.
It was devised to help consumers understand their options when saving over the short term for events like Christmas.
"We are delighted to be able to provide additional funding to our partners at grass-roots level," said Sue Cook, head of consumer and business education at the OFT.
"Citizens Advice's involvement has been fundamental in delivering the Save Xmas campaign to local communities," she added.
John Rhodes, head of financial capability at Citizens Advice, said the group was pleased to contribute to the success of an important campaign.
"Our regional forums working with local bureaux and partners are determined to improve the financial awareness of hard-pressed families," he said.
"This initiative helps ensure that people can save for Christmas with genuine confidence."
Earlier this year, the government announced that money paid into similar Christmas savings schemes would be kept in separate ring-fenced accounts.
This would mean customers' money could be returned to them, should the company go bust.
Farepak's administrators BDO Stoy Hayward put the company into liquidation in October.
It has received claims for £38m from 113,000 customers and agents.
Victims have been told to expect no more than 5p back for every pound they lost. But the company has not set a timetable for repayments to be made.

Let’s complete the new trilogy!
Fans have been clamoring for a sequel to Mad Max: Fury Road since it hit theaters in May of 2015, but the possibility of getting one is even bleaker than the future represented in the film.
Patrick Connan, Chris Skinner, Adam Rabalais and Tom Miatke pay tribute to the Gremlins films, Princess Bride, Batman, Mad Max, Gladiator, The Dark Tower, Princess Mononoke and more!
Today’s thing to be thankful for is insanely creative artists who give life to things that most of us could never conceive, bringing two things together in an explosion of greatness!
Now, to help remind fans that this movie is part of a long legacy of films made over the last three decades, they’ve released a new trailer that is as much about the past as it is about the present.
The post-apocalyptic action film is set in the furthest reaches of our planet, in a stark desert landscape where humanity is broken, and most everyone is crazed fighting for the necessities of life.
SDCC 2014 Schedule for Saturday, July 26th – Marvel Studios, MAD MAX, THE HOBBIT, The Simpsons, Blacklist, and More!
By the time Saturday ends, we’ll likely have the roadmap for Phase 3 of Marvel’s cinematic universe.

My most precious memories are generated by Wild Places, invoking in me a sense of wonder, which continues far beyond the frame and fabric of the impregnated canvas to the wild and chaotic nature of life in al its forms.
The Beauty of Stillness is underestimated and often overlooked. For the artist's eye these vignettes of life offer a quiet contemplation to engage in the solitary act of painting with joy.
It's always a joy to receive a gift of flowers or come across blooms and fruits in the garden. Surprise blooms and fruits conjure up new paintings for me and I hurry to my studio to find combinations of treasured objects and fabrics to arrange with my finds.
Dreaming- the poet within. A painting comes in many ways. I will speak to me through poetry, dreaming, climbing a mountain, on rays of sunlight in rainbow plumes through moistened eyes. And I welcome it..

Fantasy novels are dreams written down. They are imagination captured and tamed long enough to be shared. Read mine.
~ Jerri Hines
During my grammar school days, there was a ritual I loved during recess— playing house beneath the majestic canopy of an oak tree in our school's playground. In the soft dirt beneath its towering branches, my friends and I would craft intricate outlines of our dream homes. With boundless imagination, we embarked on countless journeys without leaving the schoolyard. Our creations knew no bounds, spanning from grand castles to lavish mansions and cozy seaside abodes. Under that ancient oak, the world was our canvas, and possibilities were limitless.
Today, instead of etching houses into the earth, I find myself weaving tales among the clouds of imagination.
My passion for books is something I wholeheartedly embrace and wish to share with you. This platform is dedicated to showcasing books that have the power to set your imagination free. Alongside these literary gems, you'll also find my own works, a diverse blend of historical tales, gripping murder mysteries, enchanting paranormal adventures, and captivating fantasy worlds. Occasionally, I'll introduce you to other captivating books that have piqued my interest.
I invite you to explore my site and all the unique content it has to offer. Perhaps within these pages, you'll uncover what ignites your own sense of wonder. Are you ready to embark on a journey that will transport you to different worlds, one page at a time?

Six of the initial version of the 9M21 were in Cuba during the missile crisis in October 1962. These missiles, which were ready to fire, had nuclear warheads installed. A further 70 warheads were stockpiled on the island.
The Luna was later extensively deployed throughout some Soviet satellite states. The rocket has been widely exported and is now in the possession of a large number of countries. After the war with Iran, Iraq modified its stock of 9M21s with a joint assistance programme with Egypt and Egyptian Army engineers, by extending their range to 90 km and fitting a submunition-carrying warhead. The rocket was renamed Laith-90.
In the course of the Yugoslav Wars, Serb forces launched FROG-7 rockets on a number of Croatian cities, like Zupanja, on 12 December 1992, or the capital Zagreb, on 11 September 1993, while the battle of Medak Pocket was still ongoing.
During the 2003 invasion of Iraq, the Headquarters of the 2nd Brigade, US 3rd Infantry Division, Tactical Operations Center (TOC) of U.S Col. David Perkins, was targeted and struck by either an Iraqi FROG-7 rocket or an Ababil-100 SSM missile, killing three soldiers and two embedded journalists. Another 14 soldiers were injured, and 22 vehicles destroyed or seriously damaged, most of them Humvees.

Exploring Serovital: What You Need to Know About This HGH Supplement
In the quest for wellness and the pursuit of longevity, Human Growth Hormone (HGH) supplements have garnered attention for their potential benefits. Among these supplements, Serovital has emerged as a prominent name. But what exactly is Serovital, and how does it fit into the landscape of HGH-related products? In this comprehensive blog post, we will delve into the details of Serovital, shedding light on what it is, its intended uses, ingredients, potential benefits, and what you should consider before considering its use.
What is Serovital?
Serovital is a dietary supplement designed to boost HGH levels in the body. HGH is a naturally occurring hormone produced by the pituitary gland that plays a critical role in growth, tissue repair, and metabolism. It is responsible for various physiological processes, and its levels tend to decline with age, which has led to interest in HGH supplements like Serovital.
Ingredients in Serovital
The key ingredients in Serovital are amino acids, primarily L-arginine, L-lysine, L-glutamine, L-tyrosine, and oxo-proline. These amino acids are believed to stimulate the pituitary gland to produce and release more HGH. Additionally, Serovital contains vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C, vitamin B6, and zinc, which are essential for overall health.
Serovital is marketed as an HGH booster with a range of potential benefits:
- Anti-Aging: One of the primary claims associated with Serovital is its potential anti-aging effects. It is marketed as a way to reduce wrinkles, increase skin elasticity, and promote a more youthful appearance.
- Increased Energy: Some users report feeling more energized and experiencing improved stamina while taking Serovital.
- Enhanced Muscle Mass: Serovital is often associated with increased muscle mass and strength, making it appealing to athletes and bodybuilders.
- Weight Management: There are claims that Serovital can aid in weight loss by promoting fat loss and increasing metabolism.
- Improved Sleep: Some users suggest that Serovital has a positive impact on sleep quality, helping them achieve a more restful and rejuvenating sleep.
The Science Behind Serovital
While Serovital’s marketing claims are compelling, it’s crucial to examine the scientific evidence behind these assertions. Studies on the effectiveness of Serovital are limited, and results are mixed. Some small-scale studies suggest that the amino acids in Serovital may have a positive impact on HGH production, but larger, more robust clinical trials are needed to confirm these effects definitively.
What to Consider Before Using Serovital
Before considering Serovital or any HGH supplement, there are several important factors to keep in mind:
- Consult with a Healthcare Provider: It is crucial to consult with a qualified healthcare provider before starting any new supplement regimen, including Serovital. They can evaluate your individual health needs and advise you on the potential benefits and risks.
- Potential Side Effects: Some users may experience side effects while taking Serovital, including digestive issues, headaches, and skin reactions. Monitoring for adverse reactions is essential.
- Cost: Serovital can be relatively expensive when used long-term, so consider the financial aspect of including it in your wellness routine.
- Legality and Regulations: Check the legal and regulatory status of HGH supplements like Serovital in your country or region, as these may vary.
- Lifestyle Factors: Remember that lifestyle factors such as diet, exercise, and sleep play a significant role in overall health and well-being. Supplements should complement a healthy lifestyle, not replace it.
Serovital is a dietary supplement marketed as an HGH booster with potential anti-aging, energy-boosting, and muscle-enhancing benefits. While there is some preliminary evidence supporting the role of its amino acid ingredients in stimulating HGH production, more extensive research is needed to confirm these effects definitively.
Before considering Serovital or any HGH supplement, it is crucial to consult with a qualified healthcare provider, weigh potential benefits against risks, and consider other aspects of your health and wellness regimen. Additionally, maintain realistic expectations regarding the outcomes of HGH supplements, as individual responses may vary.
As with any supplement or wellness product, making informed decisions and prioritizing your health and well-being should be the guiding principles in your journey towards a healthier and more vibrant life.

WASHINGTON, March 4 (UPI) -- The United States Postal Service has unveiled the Forever postage stamp commemorating the life of author and poet Maya Angelou.
Angelou, well-known for the poem "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings," is featured on the stamp along with the quote: "A bird doesn't sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song."
Angelou received the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2011 and recited one of her pieces at President Bill Clinton's inauguration in 1993.
"Maya Angelou inspired our nation through a life of advocacy and through her many contributions to the written and spoken word," Postmaster General Megan Brennan said in a statement. "Her wide-ranging achievements as a playwright, poet, memoirist, educator, and advocate for justice and equality enhanced our culture."
Angelou died last year at the age of 86.
The stamp is available for pre-order on the USPS website.

Thousands of families handed a death sentence will miss out after a Government mesothelioma Bill sided with insurance companies.
MPs across Tyneside and the North East have criticised the Government for its efforts to provide compensation to people who were left with terminal illness after working with asbestos.
Under Government plans, those who cannot find an employer or insurance firm to sue for their illness will be handed just 75% of what they would otherwise have received.
And, in a snub to more than 6,000 families, a sufferer must have been diagnosed on or after July 25, 2012, to be eligible for the scheme as the Government tries to limit costs.
Durham MP Kevan Jones said victims should receive 100%, and have families should get their money if a loved one died decades ago.
He told The House of Commons: “The tragedy of this and other asbestos-related conditions is that the danger has been known for many years. The key thing people who are dying from mesothelioma say they want is help so they can leave. That we have a Bill is welcome, but it is a very disappointing Bill.”
He added: “The insurance companies have done very well out of this Government.
Jarrow MP Stephen Hepburn said that the Government “up to the insurance companies which have literally robbed dead people of £1bn.”
He told the House: “It falls short in regard to the cut-off time – in its present form, it will deny compensation to thousands of mesothelioma victims and save the insurance companies millions – and it falls short in regard to the payments, which will be 75% of the average payment made following a civil claim. I think that the proportion should be 100%, and that insurance companies should be fined a further 25% for ignoring their responsibilities over the years. The money could then be used to establish some proper research on a cure for mesothelioma.”

The Lotus device was put on the market as soon as the approval came through, Natick, Mass.-based Boston Scientific said.
The Lotus valve is the only aortic valve device that allows physicians to assess its final position before release, according to a press release, "while maintaining the ability for the physician to reposition or fully resheath and retrieve the valve. It’s designed to minimize the aortic regurgitation that’s plagued earlier TAVI offerings.
Last month Boston Scientific touted promising early results from a study of its Lotus transcatheter aortic valve implantation system, noting low rates of paravalvular leakage and adverse events at the 6-month mark. Results were analyzed for the 1st 60 patients enrolled in the company’s Reprise II clinical trial, a 120-patient study recognized for "Best Abstract 2013" at the PCT London Valves conference.
"The Lotus valve system offers patients a new, effective treatment option and provides physicians unmatched positioning and placement capabilities," Tom Fleming, vice president & general manager of Boston Scientific’s structural heart segment, said in prepared remarks. "It’s the culmination of a decade of research and development and demonstrates our commitment to innovations that make a difference in the lives of patients."

AXA launches motor insurance brand with 'pavement rage' ad
By Alex Brownsell, campaignlive.co.uk, Monday, 01 February 2010 08:00AM
LONDON - AXA is launching a £10m marketing campaign to support the launch of its new direct motor insurance product targeting older drivers.
The campaign, by ad agency MWO, marks the entry of AXA into the direct insurance space. The financial services giant has previously focused on the broker market.
AXA Car Insurance will target older drivers who feel they are not catered for by other brands, by offering them a 90% no claims bonus.
The TV ad shows pedestrians bashing into one another on a busy city-centre pavement. A voiceover then states, ‘You wouldn't behave this way on foot, so why would you when you are driving?'
Press, outdoor and digital activity will use the tagline: ‘AXA drivers get up to 90% discount on their car insurance. Disrespectful drivers don't.'
TV celebrity Charley Boorman will also front a PR push, including a website inviting consumers to air their views on the state of behaviour on the road today.
‘This campaign will underline the value we place on experience and the fact we're willing to reward that experience through a unique policy that builds on AXA's brand positioning to redefine standards in our industry,' said Tina Shortle, marketing director at AXA Insurance.
Shortle, who also head up the AXA-owned motor insurance brand Swiftcover, recently took up the more senior role within AXA Insurance.

Lagos police nab fake EFCC operative, suspected cultist
The Lagos state police command have arrested one Emeka Emmanuel with a fake identity card of the Economic and Financial Crimes (EFCC) at the Iyana Iba area of the state.
A statement from the State Police Command on Sunday said operatives also arrested suspected cultist, Emmanuel Olatunde, also known as pastor in the Bariga area of the state.
Mr Bala Elkana, the command’s spokesman, explained that 29-year-old Emeka was apprehended on Saturday night by operatives of the Ojo Police Station while acting on credible intelligence.
The suspect was in possession of a fake EFCC ID card which he uses in parading himself as an EFCC operative. The suspect duped innocent citizens under the pretence of providing them employment with the EFCC as operatives.
“One Olaposi Semiu ‘m’ of Agbara, Lagos who is one of such victimstold police investigators that the suspect collected the sum of N51,000 from him over a month ago with a promise of securing employment for his son as an EFCC operative,” he said.
According to him, the suspect who was also found to be operating an illegal medical facility in his residence confessed to committing the crime.
While the police recovered medical equipment and fake certificates from him, Elkana said the suspect would be charged to court as soon as they conclude investigation.
He also advised members of the public, especially job seekers to be mindful of the activities of such people in order not to fall prey of their antics.
On the other hand, 31-year-old Olatunde was arrested following sustained monitoring at Oremenunu Ibafo Street in Bariga.
The suspect, according to Elkana, is an ex-convict and is a high ranking member of Eiye Confraternity, terrorising people in Bariga.
“He (Olatunde) has a link with a series of robberies and murder cases in Bariga. He is responsible for the murder of one Ahmed Karowi, an Aiye Confraternity kingpin on 11th September 2019,” he added.
Elkana said the suspect would also be charged to court as soon as they conclude investigation.
Another set of 30 kidnap victims released in Katsina
No fewer than thirty set of kidnap victims have been released in Katsina State.
The 30 persons were handed over to the state governor, Aminu Masari on Saturday, bringing the number of persons released so far to 45, as the ongoing peace deal enters its third week.
Addressing the returnees, the Governor Masari assured that his administration will not relent in its efforts to secure the release of others still in captivity.
He also directed that the returnees be taken to the hospital for health checks before heading home to join their families.
One of the victims, Zinatu Sani from Kankara told journalists that she was abducted from her matrimonial home with two of her children.
She said that the bandits initially demanded a ransom of N20 million which was later reduced to N6 million, which she said her family couldn’t pay.
She said the suspected bandits used to give them raw rice to cook with only water and salt.
Sani narrated that they slept in an open space for fifty-five (55) days whether it rained or not.
She further disclosed that there were still a lot of people in captivity inside the forest.
The freed victims were later handed over to the transition committee chairmen of Kankara and Jibiya LGs for medical check-up and eventual reunification with their families.

Come Saturday sometime around 10:10 a.m., there will be lots of happy families that scored tickets to see Miley Cyrus, the talented teen star of Disney Channel’s “Hannah Montana” program, perform shows in December at the DCU Center in Worcester.
At the same time, there will be lots of families turned back from box office windows, kicked out of online sales sites and disconnected from phone-sales centers.
As tickets went on sale earlier for other dates along Cyrus’ 54-date tour, it became clear that demand is far exceeding supply, prompting consumer outrage in some cities. Pollstar magazine, a concert industry trade publication, reported how irate parents complained to City Hall in Kansas City, with officials in turn there demanding an audience with Ticketmaster officials to see what was going on.
Sandra Dunn, general manager of the DCU Center, said that nothing more than rabid fandom — the likes of which she hasn’t seen since the heyday of New Kids on the Block — is driving the market for tickets for Cyrus’ shows.
In response to the frenzy seen elsewhere for Cyrus tickets, the DCU Center put some plans in place that Dunn said will help get tickets into the hands of fans, rather than secondary-market ticket sellers (aka scalpers), and make sure as many fans as possible get tickets. Cyrus is performing Dec. 21 and 22 at the DCU Center.
First, tickets for the DCU Center shows will be sold only to patrons from Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire and Windham County in Connecticut. The so-called ZIP code restrictions were set around the idea that Cyrus’ dates in Providence and Hartford could handle fans in Rhode Island and Connecticut (barring those living closer to Worcester than Hartford), as well as block out-of-state ticket resellers.
“When you see scattered sales to Chicago or Los Angeles for a show here, it makes you wonder who is buying those tickets,” she said.
Each person or credit card presented for purchase will be granted a four-ticket maximum.
But here are some tougher numbers for the hard-core Hannah fans to consider. Until the show’s stage design is better known, the DCU Center is only selling 9,000 seats per show. And ahead of Saturday’s public sale, members of Cyrus’ fan club had a crack at tickets. That pre-sale snapped up 40 percent of the available seats (in less than two minutes, no less).
“Newbies to this have to understand that the dynamic has changed over the last four or five years,” Dunn said. “A lot of artists are creating fan sites to promote their TV shows, their movies, and their clothing lines. They are reaching out to fans on an individual basis, and part of that is having an incentive like early ticket sales.”
But those unsuccessful in the quest for Cyrus tickets on Saturday should not give up all hope. Once the stage design is better known, more seats may become available.
Tickets for the Cyrus shows in Worcester range in price from $26 to $66 and will be sold at the DCU Center box office (which as of Tuesday had already distributed roughly 175 coded wristbands used to establish the line when tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Saturday) and through Ticketmaster outlets.

The hackers said their attack on the Saudi Defense Ministry's website was meant as retribution for the execution of Sheikh Nimr by the Riyadh government.
"We will continue defending the religious sanctities and also targeting the enemies and oppressors involved in the killing of the freedom-seekers and revolutionaries," the hackers said in a statement issued after hacking the website.
In May the Saudi Foreign Ministry’s internal Internet network came under a similar cyberattack, which disclosed over 1 million secret and classified documents of the Saudi government.
Saudi Arabia executed Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr and dozens of al-Qaeda members on Saturday. Hours later Iranian protesters stormed the Saudi embassy in Tehran as Shiite Muslims in Iraq, Yemen, Lebanon and Bahrain angrily condemned the executions.

You’re travelling with a group of friends. Or maybe there are just two of you. Should you all fit on the same moto dup (Cambodian motorbike taxi) or hail separate rides?
Riding motorbikes from early childhood
The easiest way to get around town or around the countryside in Cambodia is on a motorbike. It’s not uncommon to see children on “moto”. Granted, they’re the smaller, Japanese style mopeds, but most are just slightly shy of 100 cc.
Honda is the King of the road for the mainstream motorbikes, especially its Dream series. The more expensive classic looking Cub has been in production since the late 1950s and is still a prized and expensive possession in Cambodia. It’s extremely silent, that’s what Cambodians like, not the loud obnoxious types that the local “steav” (skinny would be louts with dyed hair) ride.
We can ride bigger motorbikes, cruisers, touring, or off-trails. Everybody can ride a motorbike in Cambodia, boys, girls, aunties, ladies etc. Only babies cannot ride bikes on their own (they usually ride with their mom or dad). The bigger bikes are just not nimble enough in traffic and consume too much petrol for the short distances we cover.
Don’t leave your brains at the airport
Wear a helmet when riding a bike in Cambodia. You can get cheap ones at the market for $20-30. Some will make you look like a Vespa rider (not popular vehicles in Cambodia, too loud and unbalanced), others will cover your face entirely.
You’ll get pulled over by the traffic police if riding without a helmet. They’ll be happy to oblige as foreign heads without helmets stick out in the crowd. You might get away if you’re a passenger (somehow only the rider must wear a helmet). But as a foreigner doing crazy stunts, you’re a potential source of coffee or noodle soup money.
It’s quite strange for Cambodians to see tourists riding without helmets. But my friends figured that maybe they’re in occupations that don’t require the use of a brain, thus the lack of need for protection?
If you’re fat, don’t overload the motorbike
The average moto dup can easily accommodate 3 Cambodian passengers. Two adults and two children should fit on a motorbike if they’re Cambodian size. Four adults can fit on a motorbike for short distances.
If you’re big, you should ride on your own behind the moto dup, and remember not to make any brutal moves that might throw him off balance.
If you’re really obese, consider taking a tuk tuk
It’s not the weight or even the volume. Moto dup can transport very large cargoes. Literally, boxes, crates, pigs or chickens piled sky high. It’s the fact that you might be overweight and not sitting still.
We’re used to riding with people who can ride motorbikes, not with passengers who get jumpy in traffic. It’s ok if you’re featherweight like us, but it’s really not easy riding with people who are shifting or leaning over to spot landmarks.

Russian natural gas producer Novatek announced Wednesday that Yamal LNG shipped the first LNG cargo to Japan in accordance with the long-term offtake agreement with French oil and gas company Total. The cargo was unloaded at the Tobata LNG Terminal.
Countries like China and Japan, that largely depend on shipping trade in the Strait of Hormuz, should be protecting their own ships on what ‘has always been a dangerous journey’, said US President Trump in an official statement in the light of an ongoing tension in the Middle East.
Japanese company Tokyo Gas signed an agreement regarding the sale and purchase of liquefied natural gas (LNG) with Sumitomo Joint Electricity Power. The two partners aim to boost LNG as a fuel in the area, while also promote it as a stable and efficient use of energy.
The Japanese warship ‘JS Kunisaki’ collided into Brisbane’s Portside Wharf while trying to dock, Tuesday, 17 June. There were no injuries of crew onboard or spectators but the vessel was left visibly damaged. The causes of the incident are yet to be determined.
As AP reports, Japan surpassed China and is becoming the second-biggest user of the Panama Canal, in light of a trade war between Beijing and Washington. The US remains the leader in using the canal. China’s third place is due to the fact that there’s a decrease in shipments of natural and liquid petroleum gas as the Asian giant is buying less of them from the United States.
Economic growth around the world is decreasing, and various governments, including Germany, China and South Korea, have announced stimulus packages to boost their economies. In fact, the International Monetary Fund expects global GDP growth to slow from 3.6% in 2018 to 3.3% in 2019, before returning to 3.6% in 2020.
During the 10th Clean Energy Ministerial (CEM10) meeting, a new global international hydrogen partnership was announced under the leadership of the United States, Canada, Japan, the Netherlands and the European Commission with participation of several other CEM member countries.
Sri Lanka, Japan and India are going to collaborate with the goal of developing the Colombo South Port’s East Container Terminal (ECT) in Sri Lanka. The governments of the three countries signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on Tuesday, May 28, representing the good relations amongst the participants.
Two crewmembers are confirmed dead and two more crew members are unaccounted for, after two Japanese cargo ships collided off the coast of Chiba Prefecture, east Japan, in the early morning hours of Sunday. All four crew members aboard the Sumiho Maru, based in Kure, Hiroshima Prefecture, were safe.
Japan has approved ratification of the ‘International Convention on Civil Liability for Bunker Oil Pollution Damage, 2001’ and the ‘Nairobi International Convention on the Removal of Wrecks, 2007’. Japan also amended the ‘Act on Liability for Oil Pollution Damage’ (the Act) in order to reflect the provisions of the two conventions. The amended Act will apply by March 2020.

Josip Baric was ordered to be detained for one month. Current number: 3 (dad + 2). Total: 3
Let’s go to the end ❗Justice for Dzenan Memic ❗❗❗JUSTICE FOR DAVID ❗❗❗ – wrote the sister of the murdered Dzenan Memic, Arijana Memic on her Facebook profile .
Judge of the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina Hasija Masovic, at the suggestion of prosecutor Cazim Hasanspahic, ordered a one-month detention for Josip Baric, who is charged with not taking out Alisa Mutap’s bloody sweater, which could be the crowning proof in proving the murder of Dzenan Memic. We remind you that a hearing was held yesterday to order custody, and the prosecutor referred in his explanation to the official note made by Baric on the seizure of Dzenan and Alisa’s clothes.
It is an extensive investigation. It has been extended to six more people. The suspect failed to take out the bloody sweater of Alisa Mutap, which was later returned to her family from hospital and was destroyed. That bloody part was cut with scissors – said prosecutor Hasanspahic yesterday.
He stated that the Prosecutor’s Office of BiH has already provided protection for six witnesses.
The suspect would certainly influence witnesses if he remains at large. Why Dzenan’s complete attire is exempt. Even socks, and Alice’s not and those who have conducted the investigation so far shoud be ashamed. A bag full of clothes was taken from Dzenan, and only black jeans and a leather jacket were taken from Alisa Mutap. Maybe traces from that sweater would lead to the perpetrator. There were not enough marks on the leather jacket to determine anything. Why the suspect treated Dzenan and Alice differently when it came to seizing clothes. Witnesses have fully confirmed this and we have their testimonies. These are criminal acts that they committed as a group – Hasanspahic stated yesterday.
The prosecutor said yesterday that the suspects in this case had previously offered money for evidence and that they had planted evidence, and suggested that Baric be remanded in custody for all detention reasons.

Impact of the removal of chocolate milk from school milk programs for children in Saskatoon, Canada
Studies in the United States report inclusion of flavoured milk in the diets of children and youth improves nutrient intakes. No research has investigated the contribution of flavoured milk to overall milk intake or the milk preferences of Canadian children. The objective of the study was to measure milk consumption (plain milk and flavoured milk) by children in an elementary school environment and investigate factors contributing to milk choice. A mixed-method research design was applied across 6 schools for 12 weeks. Milk waste was measured in grades 1-8 for 12 weeks. Weeks 1-4 (phase 1) and 9-12 (phase 3) provided both plain milk and flavoured milk as chocolate milk while weeks 5-8 (phase 2) provided plain milk only. Beverage Frequency Questionnaires were used in each phase (in grades 5-8 only) to assess usual beverage consumption. Statistical nutrient modelling was conducted to determine the effects of removing chocolate milk during phase 2 as a milk choice. Later, focus groups were conducted with students in grades 5-8 to determine what influences them to choose/not choose to drink milk. Total milk intake decreased by 12.3% when chocolate milk was removed from the schools (26.6% +/- 5.2% to 14.31% +/- 1.6%, p < 0.001). Milk choice was influenced by environmental factors as well as taste, cost, convenience, and variety. Total milk intake was associated with location (p = 0.035) and cost (p < 0.001), with rural students and/or those students receiving free milk drinking the greatest amount of milk. Nutrient modelling revealed chocolate milk is more cost-efficient and convenient at providing nutrients than alternative food/drink combinations.

Hagen Catit Magic Blue Cat Pan
The Magic Blue Litter Box has a new hood design that solves the filter scratching issues of the previous model, and the closed top ensures optimal ammonia absorption before it enters your living environment.
The Catit Magic Blue Litter Box Regular allows for optimal air filtration.
The hood helps capture hazardous ammonia gases inside - even without the front door - enabling the Magic Blue filter pads to absorb these much more easily and effectively. The Litter box includes a free Magic Blue Cartridge set (#44305), but can also be used without Magic Blue.
The Magic Blue Litter Box is very easy to scoop and clean thanks to the wide front-to-top opening. The litter box door was designed to be fully cat friendly. Its special opening mechanism enables the door to lift outward and upward easily, preventing paws or tails from getting caught inbetween.
As cats usually turn their head to the opening of the litter box when urinating, we raised the back side of the litter box. The litter box has a special rim that prevents leaks and integrates a bag holder at the front.
The Magic Blue litter box features a handy carrying handle at the top and slider locks on both sides.
For more information, visit the manufacturer's website to learn more about Hagen Catit Magic Blue Cat Pan. Hagen Catit Magic Blue Cat Pan is available for sale in Singapore at Nekojam, Singapore's favourite online pet shop.

Urgh, Dubai Traffic… right? Well the days of being stuck in a jam on Sheikh Zayed Road could soon be over if the Hyperloop lands in the UAE.
Dubbed the fifth mode of transport, tube travel could get passengers from Dubai to Fujairah in as quick as 10 minutes – that's two hours less than usual.
It all started in California when SpaceX creator Elon Musk decided he was sick of Los Angeles traffic and voila, here we have it. Those using the pods could zoom at speeds reaching 1200KPH but much like a Tesla car, once everything gets moving at a certain speed, it feels as though riders are almost motionless.
Ten governments around the world are working on introducing a Hyperloop system and on Sunday the Dubai Future Foundation announced they were hosting Build Earth Live. The competition for the best designs will take place in September and while there are currently over 100 participants, it will be whittled down to six before it finally goes to the judges.
His Excellency Mohammed Al Gergawi, Vice Chairman of the Board of Trustees and Managing Director of Dubai Future Foundation, said: "Dubai is hosting this global event as part of the vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, to make the UAE and Dubai a global platform for innovative minds to come together to create futuristic solutions on issues of relevance to humanity. This contest is a great opportunity to explore innovation ideas in the smart transportation sector."

Messenger In the days following the presidential election, many pundits and voters alike were stunned by the disparity between the popular vote, which went for Hillary Clinton, and the Electoral College, which favored Donald Trump. What are these weights, and how can we best compare them? Most people believe the Electoral College weighs ballots in states with large populations much less than those in small states.
That is part of its purpose, but another part is to weight less populated areas more heavily, so their votes stand a chance against population centers.
I was listening to someone the other day make the case that the fix is to end the "winner take all" aspect of the Electoral College, which is sketched out in this article: Under the system of the Electoral College each state had the same number of electoral votes as they have representative in Congress, thus no state could have less then 3.
The result of this system is that in this election the state of Wyoming cast aboutvotes, and thus each elector represented 70, votes, while in California approximately 9, votes were cast for 54 votes, thus representingvotes per electorate.
Obviously this creates an unfair advantage to voters in the small states whose votes actually count more then those people living in medium and large states.
One aspect of the electoral system that is not mandated in the constitution is the fact that the winner takes all the votes in the state. Therefore it makes no difference if you win a state by This can be a recipe for one individual to win some states by large pluralities and lose others by small number of votes, and thus this is an easy scenario for one candidate winning the popular vote while another winning the electoral vote.
This winner take all methods used in picking electors has been decided by the states themselves. This trend took place over the course of the 19th century.It should be noted here that, according to the National Archives, more than 99% of the time electors have voted as instructed and no elector has ever been prosecuted or punished for failing to vote in accordance with the popular vote of their respective states.
The map above shows the county level and vote share results of the US Presidential Election.
The darker the blue the more a county went for Hilary Clinton and the darker the red the more the county went for Donald Trump.
This map helps explain why Trump was able to win, despite winning over yes, what you are posing is rediculous. I personally make a lot of money and much more than the average American but it is the small minded people like yourselves that don’t realize the folks that are indeed hard working individuals who contribute to society but simply don’t make enough income to contribute to the tax system.
