CLEVELAND – Eddie Rosario entered the All-Star break confident that he would be ready to return to the lineup this weekend against the Indians. But the Twins have determined that he’s not quite all the way back from a sprained left ankle and could remain on the injured list until early next week.
Rosario did some running during Thursday’s optional workout at Progressive Field. There was no sign of him running the bases on Friday, which would be a clue that he’s close to returning.
“Just waiting for the team,” Rosario said. “Whenever they believe I’m ready to play, then I’ll go.”
While Rosario sounded like he was ready to activate himself, Twins manager Rocco Baldelli said Rosario still has a couple of tests he needs to pass before he returns to the active roster.
“I’d love to say he looks perfect and ready to go,” Baldelli said. “I think that is what we are looking for, something close to that. I like the fact that he’s wants to be out there and that he is ready and he is getting a little antsy and any time he’s off the field for an extended period of time, he’s not happy about it.
“We want to make sure he’s ready to play in the second half when he comes back. And I think he’s getting very close. I wouldn’t think it is going to be very much longer but we are going to test him over the next couple of days here with some live game speed-type activity. “
If the Twins have concerns, they could hold Rosario out through the week and use the scheduled off day on Monday to ensure his fitness before they play host to the Mets on Tuesday in the first game of a two-game series.
Rosario, batting .282 with 20 home runs and 60 RBI, injured himself while rounding first base on June 26 during a game against the Tampa Bay Rays. It came during a run of injuries that nagged the Twins in the weeks leading up to the break.
De Jong released
The Twins have released righthander Chase De Jong from Class AAA Rochester. De Jong was dealt to the Twins by Seattle for lefthander Zach Duke last July 31. De Jong was 1-1 with a 3.57 ERA in four starts with the Twins last season but failed to make the team out of spring training and struggled at Class AAA Rochester, going 0-5 with a 9.73 ERA in 21 games. He made one appearance with the Twins this season, giving up four runs in the ninth inning of a 14-8 victory over the Mets on April 9.
The move created space for righthander Fernando Romero to be activated from the injured list.
One last pick signs
The Twins have signed 18th-round pick Edouard Julien, a second baseman from Auburn, for $493,000. That’s is significantly more than 18th-round picks usually sign for. The recommended value of last pick of the 10th round, for example, is $142,200. But the Twins feel that Julien, a switch hitter who, in 2018, broke Frank Thomas’ school record for RBI as a freshman with 69, is worth it.
Julien passed a physical recently, making the deal official. The Twins ended up signing 32 of their 42 picks from the June draft, including their first 17 selections.
• The Twins have assigned lefthander Andrew Vasquez to Class AA Pensacola. Vasquez recently was outrighted off the 40-man roster. He had a 6.00 ERA in 15 games at Rochester and gave up three runs without getting an out in his one game with the Twins, during a 9-6 loss to the Mets on April 10.
• The Twins also have signed former major leaguer Ivan DeJesus Jr. and assigned him to Class AA Pensacola. DeJesus, 32, has not played in the majors since 2016.

Volusia sheriff's volunteers to start writing parking tickets
DELAND -- After a six-month trial period, members of the Volusia County Sheriff's Office Citizens Observer Program will start issuing parking tickets Thursday, the agency announced Monday.
"Scofflaws beware: The Volusia County Sheriff's Office now has 34 sets of volunteer eyes on the lookout for motorists who illegally park in handicapped spaces and fire lanes," sheriff's spokesman Gary Davidson said.
The Sheriff's Office unveiled its new parking enforcement initiative in March to help deputies and beef up enforcement of parking laws. A total of 34 of the Sheriff's Office's C.O.P. volunteers have been trained in parking enforcement as required by the state of Florida, Davidson.
Since March, the volunteers issued 26 warning notices while phasing in the program to give C.O.P. members time to get acclimated to their new duties, Davidson said.
The C.O.P was established in 1989 and acts as an extra set of eyes and ears to help deputies keep the community safe while patrolling in the Sheriff's Office's jurisdiction, which includes unincorporated Volusia County plus the cities of Deltona, DeBary, Oak Hill and the town of Pierson, Davidson said.
Unarmed and mostly working in pairs, a total of 166 C.O.P. volunteers patrol the community in Sheriff's Office vehicles and report suspicious activity to deputies. When they're not out patrolling the streets, working special community events, conducting house watches or helping to control traffic, C.O.P. volunteers provide yet another valuable service -- fingerprinting children for their parents' records, Davidson said.

Any student would want to save money on everything they buy. A dollar saved is truly a dollar earned when you are a student and have limited monthly allowances to run on. The situation is even more demanding and challenging when you are away from your home and living in a dorm room or sharing an apartment hundreds of miles away from your family. To save money, what you need is to get deals that are favourable for you.
In a nutshell, you need bargain deals. As a student, there would be numerous items that you would buy through your years at college, university or even in high school. All the way from materials pertaining to your education to gadgets and utilitarian products, the demand to buy new things is unending and if you can manage to save money on all your purchases with the help of bargain deals then you would easily save a few hundred dollars every year. There are three prevalent options you have to get deals that can save you money.
Getting Deals Online
Ecommerce has emerged as the big brother for those who are looking for bargain deals. Not as a big brother who spies on you and knows all your secrets but as a big brother would help you to save money. The kind of discounts that you can get online is not available in the real world of retail stores. Shopping online is also convenient for students as they can get the products shipped directly without the need to drive over to some place and spending money on the commute. Many online sites have phenomenal bargain deals and have exchange policies as well.
Getting Deals On Campus
Trading amongst students has been popular for centuries. Whether it is pure exchange of items based on the barter system or buying and selling of stuffs among students on campus, all and sundry can save money this way. There are many websites that bring together students on the campus and a few actually bring everyone in a university to buy and sell their stuffs, new stuffs and old stuffs. You can save money with bargain deals on such sites or on campus with the help of direct interaction.
Buy Second hand Textbooks
One unavoidable and significant expense students face each semester is where to source textbooks without paying hundreds for a new one from the university Co-op. Most students know about the fliers that people post around campus that students put up advertising they are selling textbooks however many universities also have on-line websites where students can advertise they are selling last semesters books. Just remember that “buyer beware” when buying old textbooks as sometimes they can be older editions that are outdated and its not necessarily a cheaper option when you have to buy twice. Check with your unit outline or lecturer which textbook editions you can or cant get.
Other Places To Get Deals
Many high schools, colleges or universities have clubs or communities where buying and selling amongst students is encouraged. You can readily get deals to save money at these places. Gumtree and Ebay are always great websites to check out to get a cheap deal.
Always shop around and remember a dollar saved is a dollar earned!

Some uncertainty exists concerning Gardel’s early life. While most sources indicate that he was born in France, Gardel occasionally cited Tacuarembó, Uruguay, as his birthplace. However, he was certainly in Buenos Aires by the age of six. His first formal acting roles were at the Nacional Corrientes Theatre, which also listed Don José Razzano, with whom Gardel formed a duo for many years. They played in various theatre companies, touring Argentina and other Latin American countries and Spain.
Gardel’s huge popularity as an interpreter of the melancholy ballads of the tango was confirmed in the 1920s and ’30s in nightclubs and motion pictures. One early picture, Luces de Buenos Aires (1931; “Lights of Buenos Aires”), was filmed in Paris, but later ones were made by Paramount Pictures for the Spanish-speaking market. They include Espérame (1933; “Wait for Me”), La Casa es seria (1933; “The House Is Somber”), Melodia de Arrabal (1933; “Melody of Arrabal”), Cuesta abajo (1934; “Downhill”), El Tango en Broadway (1934; “The Tango on Broadway”), Tango-Bar (1935), El Día que me quieras (1935; “The Day That You Love Me”), and Cazadores de estrellas (1935; “Hunters of Stars”).
Gardel died in a plane crash while on tour. In Buenos Aires his funeral and funeral procession in a horse-drawn carriage were witnessed by tens of thousands of Argentines. Like Rudolf Valentino’s, his tomb became an object of popular pilgrimage.

“When she and her household were baptized, she urged us, saying, ‘If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come and stay at my home.’ And she prevailed upon us.” vs. 13
When Paul and his companions arrived in Philippi after crossing the Aegean Sea there wasn’t an established synagogue but there were some Greek women who were God-fearers, i.e. they had been attracted to Jewish teachings but had not become converts. Paul found them by a river near the city on the sabbath and reached out to them with his Christ story. One of them, Lydia, a dealer in purple cloth, received what he said with eagerness, and, together with her household, was baptized. Presumably a long period of instruction was not necessary at that time! She was so moved that she invited Paul and the men with him to come stay at her house–and they did it. Unfortunately, we don’t know more about Lydia, but we do know that the little congregation that grew up in Philippi likely was centered in her home. Paul was so proud of those people and even wrote a love letter to them while he was in prison. It’s likely no accident that this faith community, known for its generosity, was led by a well-established business woman. Lydia is honored in the church as the first European convert and her influence over the centuries has been enormous. What a blessing it is when women are not only seen as servants, but as leaders!
Thought for the Day: How might a woman’s style of leadership be different?

RISSB to Play a Major Role in National Rail Action Plan
RISSB’s CEO Deb Spring attended a high level meeting involving the NTC, ONRSR and the ARA to discuss the National Rail Action Plan (NRAP). RISSB is excited to be able to contribute to the NRAP through its focus on Standards and interoperability. RISSB is very active in this space and looks forward to co-hosting as well as being a key participant in working groups to be established to take the NRAP forward.
The industry SPAD Group agreed on a national categorisation (A1 – A4 and B1-B4, based largely on the UK model) of SPADs in 2018 and this was adopted by ONRSR for reporting SPADs to the regulator in mid-2019. ONRSR has indicated RTOs are using the categorisation, but that further guidance material would be helpful. The SPAD Group and RISSB has commenced working with ONRSR on further guidance information for industry

Luanda — The adhesion of Angola to the Convention on People with Disability shows the Government commitment to the social reintegration policies and also serves as an incentive to the practice of adapted sports.
This was said Saturday in Luanda by the chairman of the African Paralympics Committee, Leonel da Rocha Pinto.
Speaking to Angop, Leonel Pinto said that the adhesion of Angola to the Convention whose resolution was approved Thursday by the National Assembly, will help overcome the loopholes concerning matters like the access to wheelchair, ramps in public buildings and transports.
The chairman of the African Paralympics Committee said that this will give a major visibility to the Government and increase its credibility before the United Nations Organisation (UNO) as a State that all along worked for the elimination of any kinds of barriers for people with specific needs.
"The UN Convention on Rights of People with Disability is an instrument that will enable a major openness to matters that have to do with overcoming all kinds of barriers, despite the recognition that the Angolan State has been fulfilling its role regarding this issue," he said.
Leonel Pinto recalled that the ratification of the UN document follows the work carried out by a commission appointed this year by the Angolan head of State, Jose Eduardo dos Santos, led by the minister of Social Welfare, João Baptista Kussumua, with the help of the Angolan and African Paralympics Committees.
Leonel Pinto added that with the signing, Angola leaves the list of more than 40 countries (13 Africans) that were still to join the Convention, out of a total of 194 member states.
He said that in his capacity as chairman of the African Olympics Committee, he is tasked with supervising the implementation of the UN recommendations, for which he will start visits to countries of the continent in the first quarter of 2013.
In his Africa trip, Leonel Pinto will be accompanied by the UN secretary general's advisor for sports and peace, Wilfried Lemke.
Wilfried Lemke was in the country in May this year, on the occasion of the African Paralympics Committee Development Conference and General Assembly. Angolan Paralympics racer, Jose Sayovo is also expected to be in the team.

Mayor Pro Tem Elzie Clements, assailed around the world for trying to oust the city’s library cat, says don’t blame him.
We’re to blame.
We wrote on social media how awful and petty the City Council was for sending away Browser, library patrons’ beloved reading mascot.
“If we would just get people out here in this city to stay off of this media, this wouldn’t have been this way,” Clements blustered Friday at the meeting where the council voted to give Browser a reprieve.
Facebook commenters and newspage readers in Europe, Asia and Australia reacted angrily to the earlier sneak attack and 2-1 vote to dismiss the cat.
Clements said that’s our fault.
“Without social media, it never would have been more than a local story,” he said Tuesday by phone.
“Things happen inside a city that shouldn’t be publicized outside,” he said. “There’s no need to jump on Facebook.
“I think Facebook and the social media [are] a bad thing. I sure do.”
He is not the only politician having a rough time with social media lately.
“I think it’s one of the downfalls of this country,” he said.
“There’s a lot of things put out that shouldn’t be put out.”
Clements, 74, said he didn’t even know until the meeting that White Settlement had a cat in the library.
“I don’t go to the library,” he said. “I don’t use the library.” (His home has two cats, he said, but he simply didn’t think the library was the place for one.)
At 53 and with a career in law enforcement, Councilman and Browser supporter Dave Mann is more media-conscious.
“Facebook is part of life now, and I’m gonna use it to tell people what they need to know,” he said.
“The way he’s describing — that’s the old way White Settlement has always been. Too much was happening behind the scenes. I don’t agree with that at all.”
Right now, city police and firefighters are using social media to ask for everyone’s help.
They’d like to find the damaged black Ford F-150 four-door in the video of the June 25 motorcycle wreck that killed off-duty firefighter Trevor Gage.
Social media can help, not hurt, cities like White Settlement. And it works great for cats.

heat and cooling supply
Renewables currently provide only 1% of primary energy demand for heat and cooling supply in the Middle East, the main contribution coming from the use of biomass and solar collectors. Dedicated support instruments are required to ensure a continuously dynamic development of renewables in the heat market.
In the Energy [R]evolution scenario, renewables provide 84% of the Middle East’s total heating and cooling demand in 2050.
- Energy efficiency measures can restrict the future primary energy demand for heat and cooling supply to a doubling rather than tripling, in spite of improving living standards.
- In the industry sector solar collectors, biomass/biogas as well as geothermal energy are increasingly substituting for conventional fossil-fuelled heating systems.
In the Energy [R]evolution scenario 2,005 PJ/a is saved by 2050, or 17% compared to the Reference scenario.The advanced Energy [R]evolution version introduces renewable heating systems around five years ahead of the basic scenario. Solar collectors and geothermal heating systems achieve economies of scale via ambitious support programmes five to ten years earlier, resulting in a renewables share of 33% by 2030 and 97% by 2050.

Humanity is now majority urban, with predictions that urbanisation will increase to 66% of the human population by 2050. Along with the negative environmental impacts of urbanisation, people are being increasingly cut off from nature, leading to a growing interest in urban greenery and farming. Alongside this desire for a connection with nature, activities to make cities more self-sufficient in food to drive cost efficiencies as well as mitigate climate change have become more prominent in recent years.
One of the common ways of doing this has been the increasing support by businesses for green rooftops such in Hong Kong or community efforts for urban gardening in public plots and also schools. National governments have also become involved with a successful intervention by Antigua and Bermuda to support backyard gardens towards greater food self-sufficiency. High technology solutions such as hydroponics are also being developed as this example from London shows where a company is producing between 1.6 and 3.3 tonnes each month in a former air-raid shelter in London.
It is not the only vegetables that are being cultivated. Many coastal communities across the world are developing sustainable fisheries, ensuring a constant food supply and employment for local people. San Carlos (Negros Occidental) in the Philippines has won recognition for the revitalisation of its marine life due to its commitment to sustainable fishing and conservation, efforts which are helping increase tourism to its city.
What else is there? Which policies, instruments, frameworks, projects or initiatives do you know about? Are there policies in your country, region or city pushing for sustainable farming? Do you know about or are you involved in projects in your community, school or business that are supporting sustainable farming?
If so, please let us know in our questionnaire.

The study was an exploratory, one group pretest/post-test study, with the objective of investigating the short-term effects of thoracic spine thrust manipulations (TSTMs) on patients with shoulder impingement syndrome (SIS). Fifty-six patients with SIS underwent a standardized shoulder examination, immediately followed by TSTM techniques. At 48-h follow-up, the NPRS change scores for Neer impingement sign, Hawkins impingement sign, resisted empty can, resisted external rotation, resisted internal rotation, and active abduction were all statistically significant. The reduction in the SPADI score was also statistically significant.
In conclusion, TSTM provided a statistically significant decrease in self reported pain measures and disability in patients with SIS at 48-h follow-up.

What can pressure do? Quite a lot, actually. Just ask carbon. In the same vein that DeBeers probably didn’t like scientists figuring out that they could produce flawless diamonds with high pressure and high temperature in a lab, companies selling conventional equipment to break cells to release the biomolecules inside for analysis (e.g., DNA, proteins, lipids), such as “bead beaters”, sonicators, homogenizers, and other old school cell-breaking products, likely aren’t going to be too thrilled about Pressure BioSciences (PBIO) disrupting the cell lysis market with their new innovative Barocycler 2320EXT, that splits cells like nothing ever before. The company’s unique instrument and consumables product line, based on their patented pressure cycling technology (PCT) platform, could revolutionize how the world’s academic, government, biotechnology, and pharmaceutical researchers approach their important research studies from this point forward.
Recently, Pressure BioSciences announced the initial issuance of patents on their newest discovery, called Ultra Shear Technology or UST. By uniquely combining ultra-high pressure driven fluid dynamic shear forces with controlled temperature, they have developed a novel and patentable homogenization process that offers the potential to create stable nanoemulsion mixtures of otherwise immiscible (non-blendable) fluids, such as oils and water. The implications for UST are far reaching, spanning pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals (including CBD oil from cannabis), cosmetics, inks and lubricants, and even clean-labelled food (including dairy products, apple juice, etc.).
Drug Discovery Starts with Sample Preparation
Appropriately, the EXT in 2320EXT is short for “extreme.” The scientists at Pressure BioSciences, which includes the venerable high-pressure expert Dr. Edmund Ting, invented the Barocycler 2320EXT, effectively taking the legacy version of the machine used for sample preparation to a new level with next-generation technology and an on-board computer, replacing a microprocessor. The machine is revolutionizing the way cells are broken open, mastering exact pressure cycles ranging from ambient to 100,000 psi to carefully crack open cells at just the right pressure level to extract the DNA, RNA, proteins and lipids inside in a reproducible manner, all the while minimizing the damage to the cell’s constituents.
That’s a huge step in the right direction compared to essentially smashing or chopping cells indiscriminately into pieces, without much regard to the biomolecules inside, like most labs do today.
Not only can existing products be improved, but there is potential for new pharmaceuticals and other products to be developed, possibly bridging voids in today’s standards of care. Understand that components of medical science react differently to pressure, with lipids being the most sensitive of the primary biomolecules of interest to nature’s force. While pressure can help modulate enzymes, it can also denature proteins, inactivate microorganisms and accelerate reactions that destroy vitamins, to name just a few effects.
A door to innovation is opened with a next generation system like Pressure BioSciences’ Barocycler 2320EXT. It’s a matter of providing the right innovation tool to the more than 500,000 scientists grinding and blasting away at cells to overcome the shortcomings of today’s sample preparation methods.
In a world where immunotherapies are the most promising component in health care, proteins and enzymes could be engineered differently, with greater specificity and stability. Enzymes with possible biotechnological importance could be examined in a whole new way, or “again for the first time” for therapeutic relevance.
It’s the Barocycler 2030EXT’s unique capabilities that resulted in ProCan, a cancer research initiative located in the Children’s Medical Research Institute in Sydney Australia and the first international collaborator of the $1.8 billion U.S. Cancer Moonshot program, purchasing five Barocycler 2320EXTs since the system was released in 2016 As ProCan co-Director Professor Phil Robinson said, “Due to its unique capabilities, the Barocycler 2320EXT has become a critical part of our program. It is the primary enabler of the high-throughput component of the project. Without this step, a project like ProCan simply could not be done”.
New and Improved Products Start with Next-Generation Pressure Technology
Dr. Ting has been recognized as an early pioneer in high pressure and pressure cycling technologies and applications for decades. About 15 years ago, he took his knowledge to Starbucks (SBUX) as the coffee purveyor looked for solutions to kill bacteria, extend shelf life, and avoid the need for chemical additives for its Evolution Fresh juice line. Thanks in part to Dr. Ting’s input when he was the Chief Technical Officer of Flow Laboratories, an early developer of High Pressure Processing (HPP) in food, Starbucks now answers the question, “What makes Evolution Fresh unique?” on its website with, “Evolution Fresh peels, presses, and squeezes raw fruits and vegetables. After chilling, blending and bottling juice, we use a technology called High Pressure Processing (HPP) to ensure safety and help retain flavors and nutrients.”
Dr. Ting has continued to brilliantly push the bounds of pressure technology, mostly with his work on both PCT and UST at Pressure BioSciences. With UST possibly representing the next evolution in high-pressure technology, the number of applications for PBIO’s technology is virtually limitless, although biotechnology, foods, nutraceuticals and cosmetics, areas where water solubility has historically bedeviled manufacturers, are natural fits from the outset. The benefits to healthcare abound with more efficient delivery and higher absorption rates of active ingredients in medications, supplements and nutrients potentially possible through UST.
The company recently received the first two patents protecting its UST in China, with patents pending for the intellectual property in virtually all developed nations.
To articulate the possibilities of UST takes a brief understanding of emulsions, or mixtures of two or more liquids – oil and water, for example – that will not permanently blend together without the use of chemicals called emulsifiers. A simple, real world example of an emulsifier is dish soap, which is necessary to make hot water clean oily pots and pans. Other examples of emulsification include homogenized milk, vaccines, mayonnaise and graphene, just to name a few. Globally, macro- and micro-emulsifiers are used every day in product development in basically every sector.
Nanoemulsions are the hot button as a viable improvement to traditional macro and micro-emulsions. “Data from scientific studies indicate that nanoemulsions of nutraceuticals and pharmaceuticals may exhibit improved absorption, higher bioavailability, greater stability, and lower levels of stabilizing additives (surfactants) compared to the larger droplet sizes resulting from current emulsion processes,” Dr. Ting said in an announcement on Oct. 18 discussing PBIO’s new partnership with the Phasex Corp. “Because of these significant advantages, nanoemulsions are currently the focus of many research efforts worldwide. Unfortunately, even with these increased efforts, scale-up to a cost-effective, industrial level nanoemulsion production process remains a significant challenge.”
Pressure BioSciences is aiming to overcome these nanoemulsion challenges with UST by breaking down and bonding material at the cellular level, resulting in a permanent mixture of materials normally immiscible.
To lend a little more color, consider that covalent bonds and some provitamins are resistant to pressure. UST has implications for a wide range of applications from nutraceuticals to cosmetics to textiles to food and food preservation, considering that covalent bonds include dyes, flavors and aromas, while examples of pressure-resistant provitamins include the likes of riboflavin, retinol and thiamin. This is without mentioning that the natural, pathogen-destroying process is requisite for “clean” labeling against the backdrop of a growing choir of health-conscious consumers.
In the new collaboration with Phasex, a world leader in supercritical fluid (“SCF”)-based toll processors for extracting, purifying, recrystallizing, and fractionating a wide range of polymers, natural extracts, specialty and fine chemicals, and nutraceutical and pharmaceutical preparations, the two companies will combine their UST and SCF technologies for one of the hottest markets today: cannabis. The goal is to enable the development of stable, water-soluble nanoemulsions of nutraceuticals, include cannabidiol (CBD)-enriched plant oil.
CBD is a non-psychoactive constituent of the cannabis plant believed to have a litany of medicinal benefits. With cannabis now legal in more than half of the U.S., Grand View Research forecasts the medical marijuana market to reach $55.8 billion by 2025, representing yet another growth vertical for PBIO.
PBIO President and Chief Executive Officer Richard T. Schumacher believes that “the ability to subject liquids to UST following the Phasex SCF extraction and purification process would be a highly sought-after ‘Value-add’ for Phasex customers.” Further, “Combining the capabilities and experience of PBI and Phasex could effectuate commercial scale production of such formulations with long shelf stability, which in turn could potentially result in a highly profitable service model for the PBI and Phasex collaboration,” according to Schumacher.
A Company Maker Forged in High Pressure
The Barocycler 2320EXT could be a company maker in and amongst itself. Now add in the potential for UST and the overall market opportunities are multiplied. Schumacher has repeatedly said that he feels this company could be bigger than any of the other three startup successes (total market cap greater than $1 billion) he already has on his esteemed resume. That’s due to the sheer innovation, scalability and vertical growth opportunities with Pressure BioSciences. The sea change could be starting to happen with the launch of the new, award-winning product last year, CE Mark for commercialization of the Barocycler 2320EXT in Europe, UST patent protection, and the company ramping its sales force over the past few months from a single person (who produced over $2 million in annual sales) to a team of six currently selling equipment and consumables, primarily to the life sciences industry.
Pressure BioSciences is a company that many in the investment world overlook, but when it comes to industry, PBIO is shaking the tree and making a name for itself, winning numerous awards already as well as presently standing as one of the finalists up for a prestigious 2017 R&D 100 Award. Award winners for what has become known as the “Oscars for Innovation,” will be announced at a black-tie ceremony on November 17 at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida. Win or not, it is one more feather in the cap of a company that surely will not continue to go underappreciated for very much longer given its potentially game-changing technology.

What a Black Seattle Dad Told His Son After Trayvon Martin's Death
Originally aired: Monday, July 22, 2013
Associate editor of The Stranger, Charles Mudede, says his parents gave him a talk 30 years ago, about how to act if a white police officer, or a strange person, engages with him. After Trayvon Martin's death, he gave the same speech to his 17 year old son. He says he'd rather his son lose his rights than lose his life.

Express Announce Acquisition of Damien Spaven
The Saanich Express are pleased to announce the acquisition of goaltender Damien Spaven from the Westshore Bears.
The Bears and Express agreed to a deal early in the 2018 season that sent 5th year player Jordan Wendt to the Bears in exchange for future considerations. The acquiring of Damien concludes the aforementioned trade.
Damien was the deciding factor in last years semi-final playoffs between the Bears and Express as he shut the door in both playoff games that eliminated the Express from the playoffs. Damien went on to win a bronze medal with the Bears at Provincials but saw limited playing time in the tournament.
“I’m extremely excited to be playing for the Express” stated the young net minder. “It is hard to get in to a rhythm when you don’t know which night you will be playing. But being told I am coming in to a 2 goalie system, makes me excited to know I am dressing every game,” concluded Spaven.
“We knew we were losing Nolan Tytgat to graduation this season and we weren’t sure if any goalies from Saanich or free agent areas were going to be selected in this years’ draft or if they were going to try out for a Junior A or B1 team to start the season; so we negotiated and got the goalie that stymied us in the playoffs.” claimed General Manager Tyson Leies. "With only 3 graduating players (Nolan Tytgat, Jaycob Dhillon and Dan Barrodale) and doing as well as they did last season, the Express are laying rail early in 2019 to prepare for the upcoming season.
The Express will begin conditioning and game sessions early in February to give players an opportunity to reacquaint themselves with one another and meet potential new teammates prior to on floor tryouts. Those dates will be confirmed shortly.
Welcome Aboard Damien Spaven!

I am again.
I blogged once about some part of life in which I turned the curve before the rest of American society, but I can’t remember what that was.Ã‚Â Hmmm, I really can’t.Ã‚Â Obviously a weighty, penetrating subject.
But today in the paper, I came across a tiny article in the Post-Gazette called Tap water:Ã‚Â c’est chic.Ã‚Â I tried to find a link to it, but couldn’t so you’ll just have to trust me…
The piece says restaurants in Berkeley, CA are touting their use of tap water versus fancy pants bottled varieties that, apparently, take a slice out of the ozone everytime they’re processed and bottled.
Don’t get me wrong, I drink bottled water.Ã‚Â When we’re in the car, at the zoo, you know, heading off into the suburban jungle, I’ll buy a bottle of water.Ã‚Â But if I had a dime for everytime a friend raises her eyebrows when I fill my glass of water straight from the tap, well, I’d be Queen of Oakmont at the very least.
People look at me as though I’m wandering through a measles ward without benefit of vaccination.Ã‚Â Or, heading into sunny neighborhoods without slathering the kids with exactly six quarter sized squirts of sunscreen per kid per hour of exposure.
So, look at me.Ã‚Â Yes!Ã‚Â I’m a freaking pioneer.Ã‚Â It’s good to be on top of things for once.Ã‚Â

Where I use to live, the tap was great, because it was the same exact water that they put in Arrowhead bottles, because thats the area I lived in. Now, a town over, a different county, the tap is gross. I dont care about germs, or whatever is in the pipes, but the water is just horrible tasting. Guess I got spoiled by growing up on bottled water in my tap.
Jessie, that is a treat to live where you did. And it certainly stops all the gawking when neighbors head to the faucet! I know what you mean about bad tasting tap water. I can definately taste the difference in different towns, but I guess I don’t care that much. I always say I’m an easy traveler because I drink tap water and black coffee–any black coffee I can get my hands on.
We’ve always had a water cooler in the corner of the kitchen, so the kids are accustomed to the taste. In fact, they cringe if I try to sneak them a tiny dose of tap to wash down a vitamin — in hopes of hittng them with a shot of fluoride. When eating out, they order Voss or the like. Like Jessie, above, it’s what they’re used to drinking.
My brother made a funny observation about most people (not the purists, of course) who order bottled water with dinner. So often, they’ll pour it over tap water ice cubes! We get such a kick out of catching people in the act!
Like you, Kathie, I drink from the tap most of the time. Why? I actually like the taste (here, at least, but not when vacationing). It tastes fuller, not flat. To me most bottled water tastes like just what it is — a bunch of molecules of H2O and nothing more.
Kathie, you are a trend setter (I always knew it)! And now that it’s out of the bag, look out! People are going to be mimicking you!
Judy, that’s funny about the ice. I never really thought of that, but it would prob. be true, unless in a very exclusive setting. And any place that used bottled water ice cubes, would certainly tell you and then charge ten bucks extra for an ice-fee.
That’s funny you say tap water tastes fuller. You’re right. Oh well, I’m sure bottled water is here to stay, just glad to see myself a little ahead for once!
I’m a tap water drinker myself, but I won’t take any credit for being anything other than cheap — bottled water is just too damn expensive for our budget! We’re very lucky though, our tap water here wins “taste contests” all the time….who knew we lived in an area that took their tap water so seriously?? My inlaws live in a town where you can SMELL the water before you taste it — and no, it’s not a nice smell. It’s tough to even brush your teeth with it. So I guess I’d be ponying up the bucks for bottled if we lived there….fortunately my kids don’t know any different. With our lifestyle, there’s no *possibility* for champagne tastes here! 🙂
Well CC, I guess your kids will be like me when it comes to water–good travelers. There certainly are a wide range of tap water odors and tastes…
Yikes, “there certainly are a wide range…??? Holy grammar error. Excuse me, please.
I’m not picky about this myself. The fact is I don’t drink enough water–bottled or tap. But now that I know what the cool kids are doing I’ll definitely switch to tap. I always model my behavior by what they’re doing in Berkley. 😉
LOL! Funny post, Kathie!
I think the whole obsession with bottled water is an interesting look at human nature. Yes, I love the convenience of bottled water when I’m traveling or in the car, but when I’m at home, I drink the filtered water from the tap. As for ordering bottled water when at a restaurant and pouring it over ice cubes, well…that’s just comical.
Hey Jaye and Kristine,
Good to know I’m not the only one without fancy water tastes! And yes, what goes in Berkley, so goes everywhgere else, sooner or later…maybe decades, but it goes that way eventually.


In its two decade long existence in India, the Honda Amaze has a special significance for the Japanese car major. It was the first car that was developed specifically for this market. At the same time this was also the first mass market car from Honda to get a diesel engine. Beyond the City, its longstanding bestseller, Amaze is also its most successful product till date. The outgoing version was loved for its space, ride quality and the peppy and fuel efficient diesel engine. But above all it did well as Indian consumers could finally own a Honda, a badge that continues to have aspirational overtones, for an affordable price. The last couple of years however, have been rather subdued for Amaze as consumers in this compact sedan segment have been lured by compact sports utility vehicles like Brezza, Nexon and EcoSport. At the same time last year's lifecycle change of segment leader Dzire further hampered its prospects. It was time for the next generation Amaze to come in our midst. Is it worth looking at?
A compromised car?
A bit of context first before we tackle the tricky subject of what is a compromise and what isn't. The compact sedan segment came about in India after the government introduced differential rate of taxation on cars basis their length and engine capacity. Typically that was to reward small cars and disincentivise sedans, utility vehicles and luxury cars. Thanks to some homegrown jugaad, segments like compact sedans and SUVs have come about and are a roaring success. But in effect these are still compromised products. In the case of a compact sedan, that compromise is on space and performance at least on the petrol engine.
Given the handicap of inches though, Honda has done a good job in maximising space on the new Amaze. Unlike the earlier version which was based on the diminutive Brio hatchback, the new car now sits on a brand new platform. Further, given how small Honda's engines normally are, the wheelbase of the Amaze is the largest in the segment. So while all cars in this segment remain largely fit for four people and an unwelcome fifth passenger, in the Amaze the punishment is a bit milder than the other cars. All this while, you also get the roomiest boot in the segment, significantly more spacious than Dzire, so full marks on that.
Talking of the styling of the car itself, the looks of the new Amaze will polarize opinion. The car has been given a complete overhaul and be it the flat, almost vertical nose at the front, or the split tail lamps at the rear, there are no similarities with the outgoing model. The front is what will get talked about most and has a retro element to it reminiscent of the American muscle cars of the 80s and 90s. From close quarters it does look a bit quirky but it manages to look smart from a distance.
The changes are not limited to the outside world either. The interiors of the old Amaze were one of its biggest weaknesses and Honda has paid attention to that. They had to as competition has also upped the notch in this aspect. With a new chunky steering wheel, beige and black color combination and a simplistic yet modern dashboard and instrument console, the cabin looks much more upmarket. Do note the indent on the dash area above the glove-box which is quite eye catching. The lack of rear air condition vents is a miss but vents at the front have been perched on top of the central panel for better air flow to the rear. Honda also claims it has used a bigger compressor in both petrol and diesel variants for better cooling but we did not get enough time to confirm or challenge its efficacy.
For the price that Amaze comes in at, the list of features is also quite impressive. All the variants get safety features like dual airbags, ABS with EBD as standard while the top two variants get automatic climate control, push start ignition, keyless remote and 7" digipad multi information display. The top variants also get Android Auto and Apple car play connectivity that was missing in the old Amaze. We also noticed a few oddities in the feature list--the cruise control feature has been offered in top end manual transmission but not in the gearless variants.
Not so noisy
There are no changes in the engine line up of the Amaze, which continues to be powered by the same 1.2 petrol 4 cylinder petrol and 1.5 litre diesel engines. Power and torque outputs have also remained unchanged. But Honda has worked hard elsewhere, particularly in trying to refine its diesel engine and make it less noisy and coarse. The re-engineering includes a new engine block and mount with increased stiffness and a new layer of damping on top of the head cover.
On paper, Honda has the most powerful petrol engine in class but thanks to the work done by competitors, this edge has softened a bit now. While supremely refined and quiet, the petrol version can be a slouch at lower speeds and the gearbox needs to be worked a bit for it to get a serious move on. The Dzire in comparison now feels more sprightly. It is the diesel engine that offers a more rewarding drive courtesy its flat torque curve that kicks in early at around 1800 rpm. Amaze also continues to have the upper hand on ride quality but for all the work on NVH, we still found the manual diesel version a bit noisy.
The biggest addition to the portfolio this time is the introduction of CVT gearbox in the diesel version. This is uncharted territory for Honda and most car makers continue to dodge offering an automatic version on their diesel engines. The reason seems to be that diesel cars are often bought in bulk by fleet owners. While that maybe the case, the addition of a gearless version here is welcome not less because of the work that Honda has done to make it suitable for Indian driving cycles. With the same engine for example, Honda has reduced the peak power and torque by 20 percent. Now the company says it has been done as CVT as a technology does not like too much torque and indices belt slippage. That jargon aside, the big upside of this for the consumer is that it negates CVT's dreaded rubber band effect, the seemingly endless wait for speed when the pedal is floored as the gearbox holds the revs. This diesel automatic then is very eager even flippant and fun to drive on city speeds. Compared to the Dzire's AMT, that suffers from turbo lag as also the gearbox's jerkiness, this is an entirely different world. On the long highway ofcourse, you may miss the extra horses that have been shed but how many actually buy an automatic for racing and not convenience. For those of us who do, you have the Volkswagen Ameo DSG for you. Do mind the service bills though.
For all the merits of any product, the true worth of a car in India is always calculated on the back of its price. On this point, Honda has priced the new Amaze impeccably, matching it close to the Dzire across variants and undercutting it significantly by upto Rs 40,000 at the top end trim. At the same time, it has pulled a rabbit out of the hat with the pricing of the automatic variants. The top end trim there, actually costs less than the AGS of the Dzire. Traditional engineer's wisdom says it ought to be the other way round and should other manufacturers, read Hyundai, try to replicate this, it would mean a serious challenge to the frugality of automatic manual transmission. Of course, you do lose out on some features in the bargain--like a high end connected infotainment system. But it is still a deal that is worth it.
This is however, only one part of the story. The success of the old Amaze also had a pitfall. Chasing volumes, the company somehow lost its eye for detail which manifested itself with the below par interiors and build quality of the car. Honda had begun to lose its premium edge. So the bigger question is, whether the new Amaze belong to the pantheon of high quality Honda cars? The answer is not quite. It is a significant and much needed step up, over the outgoing version and feels more sorted than most of its competitors. It will also hold its own very well whenever Ford and Volkswagen redesign their own products--the Aspire and Ameo, later this year. It will be as out of place next to a Brio, Mobilio or BRV that signify those lost years of Honda, as an Accord or CRV that still carry the company's original DNA. The new Amaze falls somewhere in between.

Suicide – most people don’t want to mention it, let alone talk about it but did you know that there are over 70,000 suicide attempts every year in Australia alone and out of those attempts nearly 2,500 succeed, leaving behind hurting friends and family.
It’s not easy to admit that you are feeling suicidal as there’s such a stigma surrounding it – “oh you’re so self-centred, there are so many people worse off than you, just get over it”. The depression that you feel when you are suicidal is so intense and so draining that you just want the pain in your head, heart and body to just stop and you feel like you are doing your friends and family are service by leaving them.
Between 2003 – 2005 I couldn’t count the amount of attempts I took to end my life, my depression and anxiety were so overwhelming it took all my energy just to keep going. It was crippling, voices telling me I wasn’t worth the space on this earth and after years of bullying at school and being personally violated, it all just built up too much and crash tackled me to the floor. I ended up having to leave my job at a medical centre after I tried to take the out-of-date medication.
It was hard to find help as I believed that there was something wrong with me and didn’t want to be judged by anyone. Friends looked the other way pretending everything was going fine and at home I struggled to get anyone to understand how I was feeling, my mum did try to help by suggesting finding a psychologist to talk to. It’s easy to feel alone and the Internet wasn’t what it’s like today with access to helpful resources like YouthSuicide where you can be directed to helpful tools, carelines and websites (wish I had this back then).
My boyfriend (now husband) told me one day that “life is hard, it goes up and it goes down but you are here for a reason and you can hold on.” By finding a great psychologist, herbal medication and working bloody hard on personal development I did hold on. I do still have moments of darkness (thankfully no more suicidal thoughts) but I know I can hold on and know there is more to life than this moment, it’s worth the fight and it can be done.
Life isn’t always easy but it’s such a beautiful mess that it’s worth holding on to – so please hold on to it, you’re worth it.
If you are struggling please reach out and get help – YouthSuicide is one place to start.

Los Angeles is much more than just Hollywood and beaches. In Los Angeles, restaurants are an attraction too. Some fine dining restaurants end up being the meeting point of celebrities, becoming a trendy spot to meet friends and snap some Insta pics. However, besides fine dining restaurants where you can catch some celebrities, L.A. has the fast casual restaurants or fast food chains that are very appealing as well. L.A. fast food is tasty and has the power to bring different nations together. From tacos and burgers fast food to Creole and Chinese fine cuisine, discover the L.A. food guide that will make your stomach begging for more.
French cuisine is already known as one of the best cuisine of the world and one restaurant in particular in London has been serving the best top quality food from southwest of France. Club Gascon in Clerkenwell, London, a Michelin-starred restaurant, open since 1998, has created a special menu for the Jubilee commemorations of the Queen. If you like exquisite food keep reading to unveil the tasteful menu.
Different cultures from all over the world merge in one of the most cosmopolitan cities in the world: London. This has contributed to an expansion of several type of cuisines. All sort of different exquisite flavours can be found in London, from French to Scandinavian or even Basque cuisine. “Her Majesty” city can take you into a journey where international gastronomy never ends, hence I came up with this article to narrow the selection of Restaurants in Central London where you can eat the finest food. I made a selection of 5 A La Carte restaurants that serve the best of different international cuisines.


For the eco-friendly space tourists out there, you can touch the stars in a balloon – and you won’t need to enter Squid Game to pay back the debt.
Once upon a time, when the US launched its early Apollo missions and Russia was blasting its own cosmonauts into orbit, the world was obsessed with space.
More than 50 years after we first set foot on the moon, it’s come back to the fore as the rich and powerful compete in their own space race, aimed at opening up the world above us to the people stuck on the ground.
For the moment, a trip to space is still bloody expensive: a Virgin Galactic flight will set you back around $450,000; flying with Jeff Bezos’s Blue Origin is said to be closer to $1 million, if not more; and while official prices haven’t been revealed, I wouldn’t bank on a bargain for SpaceX.
World View is looking to change that (a bit) with space travel in a balloon. ‘The ability to ascend to 100,000 feet and have a balloon that has zero pressure on it is really important,’ president and CEO Ryan Hartman said.
‘What that means is that the pressure on the inside is identical to the pressure on the outside and that being the case, if you have a hole in the balloon, it’s not like it’s going to pop or anything.’
World View takes an eco-friendly approach to space travel, with the balloon being filled with helium to give passengers a steadier lift.
‘So it’s one thing to blast off to the edge of space in a rocket and view the Earth. I don’t believe you’re having a net-positive contribution to a healing planet, whereas using an approach where you’re using a natural resource from the Earth and not polluting as a result of it and then you bring people down that have a new-found respect for the planet, that is a net-positive contribution and that is our focus here,’ Hartman said.
The balloons will ascend to 100,000ft, but there won’t be any weightless antics during the adventure. ‘Our opinion is that weightlessness is a distraction from what the actual experience is, which is viewing the curvature of the Earth, viewing it as a living organism, viewing the beauty of it, viewing the fragility of it, all of those things – that’s what our experience is all about,’ Hartman said.
Not sure about that one, chief. However, you can’t argue with the price: World View is offering tickets for as low as $50,000. You can also put down a deposit of $500 for flights taking off in 2024.

Employees admit they would sell their company password for the right price
Here’s a cheery finding from the latest SailPoint Market Pulse survey: 14% of the 1000 respondents admitted they would give their work password to a third party organisation if the price was right.
Remarkably, 1% said they’d happily pass over their details for anywhere between £100 and £250. The average, however, for UK respondents was £47,105, while in the US it was £161,534 ($243,592).

John Boyle, Catholic studies professor at the University of St. Thomas, recently spoke with the Catholic Courier about St. Thomas Aquinas and his influence on Catholic thought.
From the story:
John Boyle, professor of Catholic Studies at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, Minnesota, and author of the recently published Aquinas on Scripture: A Primer, said St. Thomas’ work stands out for its “stunning clarity” and breadth. Others before him, including St. Augustine, had endeavored to explore creation’s order and relationship to God, but scholars of the High Middle Ages were unique in the discipline they applied to their pursuit, Boyle said.
At the same time, they were “bombarded with new knowledge that could have just intellectually … overwhelmed the culture,” Boyle said, as newly translated work from the Greek church fathers, as well as Judaic, Arabic and classical pagan sources, flooded the West, and intellectuals scrambled to make sense of it.
