Hearing Loss in Obese Teenagers
The two common causes that lead to hearing loss are aging and prolonged exposure to noise. Other factors that can lead to hearing impairment can include frequent infections within the ear, ototoxic medications (like Ibuprofen, Naproxen, or Aspirin), untreated ear or head trauma, and other medical ailments such as cardiovascular disease, Meniere’s disease, or Alzheimer’s disease.
A study by Columbia University Medical Center recently found that adolescents who are obese can go on to develop hearing loss later in their lifetime. Around 1500 adolescents were included in the study, ranging from ages between 12 to 19 years. Results found that teenagers that suffer from obesity are twice more susceptible to developing single sided hearing loss especially in the lower frequency, when compared to teenagers who were of average or slim body weight.
Hearing loss that occurs in low-frequency can hamper a person’s ability to decipher sounds within loud environmental settings such as social gatherings or large crowds. Obesity can lead to the damage of organs resulting from inflammation, which in turn can cause hearing loss. It is important to encourage teenagers to lead a healthy lifestyle to prevent the onset of hearing loss later in life.

The parallel between Victor Frankenstein's story and the story of Prometheus and Pandora lies in the fact that VICTOR CREATES LIFE IN THE MONSTER JUST AS PROMETHEUS AND PANDORA CREATED LIFE IN HUMANS.
The right option is C.
Frankenstein is a novel written by Mary Shelley. The main subject of the novel is Victor, a young scientist, a created a monster, which he can not control. The story of Frankenstein is usually linked to that of Prometheus and Pandora due to the fact that both stories has to do with creation of life and negative consequences that follow it.
In Greek mythology, Prometheus was a god, who stole fire from heaven and gave it to humanity. In order to punish his crime, Zeus, the king of the gods commanded another god (hephaestus) to make woman. The woman, Pandora was made and she became a source of great mystery to humanity.
The parallelism between Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein" and the story of Adam and Eve told in the book of Genesis relies on the fact that Victor creates life just as God did. The correct option is D. Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground and Victor saw "the dull yellow eye of the creature open; it brethed hard". Besides, both creations had the need of a companion.
u was cute and handsome and lol
victor creates life in the monster just as god created life in adam and eve

Tyson Fury has revealed the actor he would most like to play him in a film – Denzel Washington.
The British heavyweight has enjoyed an incredible career, beating Wladimir Klitscho in 2015 before losing it all and making an comeback two years ago.
Fury likes to keep busy away from the boxing ring, releasing a song with Robbie Williams in 2019.
And the WBC world heavyweight champion says he has already been contacted by Tinseltown movie moguls looking to tell his story in a biopic.
The Morecambe boxer, who is white, believes two-time Oscar winner Denzel should play him – even though the American, 65, is black.
The 31-year-old told BT Sport: “I’m in talks with Hollywood directors for the Tyson Fury life story.
“They asked me, ‘Who would you want to play you?’
“I said, ‘Obviously Denzel’. I’ve always said Denzel.
“Everybody had a bit of a laugh about it. We’ll have to finalise who’s going to be the actor.
“I think Denzel is good enough to play anybody, isn’t he?
“I’m not too sure if he can do the husky voice though. He needs a punch in the throat for that one.”
Fury has also addressed questions about his future outside the boxing ring.
The Gypsy King, who is signed to fight old foe Deontay Wilder, 34, in his next fight, added: “I’ve been offered quite a few different things.”
The Mancunian made his first WWE appearance last October against Braun Strowman in the Crown Jewel event.
The youngest ever heavyweight champion has been getting back into the shape that saw him win 50 fights in 58.


As I discussed in the previous blog post in this series, the energy retail sector is facing a customer service crisis. The influence of challenger brands has created ever-increasing customer expectations for smarter, more personalised services. Meanwhile, tough macroeconomic conditions, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, are piling pressure on retailers to find new ways to help customers pay their bills and avoid falling into arrears.
In that previous piece, I hinted that the solution was a concept that SAS calls "intelligent decisioning." Today, I want to dive a little deeper into what intelligent decisioning is, and how it can help energy retailers weather the current storm and come out stronger on the other side.
To deliver the level of customer experience that today’s consumers expect and provide support and guidance to avoid nonpayment, you need to take a cross-channel, cross-functional approach. Each team within the business – marketing, installations, support, billing, collections and so on – must be able to understand its customer interactions in the context of both the current state of the customer relationship and the entire customer life cycle. That way, instead of acting in isolation, all your business functions can make consistent decisions based on a full understanding of customer lifetime value.
To achieve this kind of intelligent decisioning across hundreds of thousands of customer accounts, you can’t rely on manual analysis – you need to embed automated analytics into your business processes themselves. That’s going to mean moving beyond simplistic approaches based on applying various sets of business rules at a departmental level. It requires investment in more advanced analytics.
Moreover, to deliver successful, cost-effective intelligent decisioning, you need to be able to pick the right tool for each problem you’re trying to solve. Artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques should be part of your toolkit, as well as traditional statistical methods.
The best option is to create a single, central intelligent decisioning platform that gives you access to both traditional and AI-based modelling approaches, as well as powerful techniques such as constraint solving and optimisation. With a truly comprehensive analytics platform, your analysts and data scientists can always pick the right tool for the task at hand.
Managing the entire life cycle
It’s also vital to have an intelligent decisioning platform that manages and facilitates the entire analytics life cycle to help you get new tools and models into production – a key challenge for most energy retailers. Ideally, you want a single platform that guides you from data exploration, preparation and cleansing through model design, training and testing to deployment, monitoring, retraining and auditing. The platform should also offer a robust framework for data governance, decision auditing and explainability.
At SAS, we’re working with a host of energy companies around the world to transform customer service with intelligent decisioning. For example, we’ve helped Endesa adopt a strategic approach to customer segmentation, which delivers the customer insight to help define new products, formulate new customer acquisition strategies and reduce attrition. By embedding analysis of key customer attributes – such as environmental sensitivity, geographic location, customer lifetime value and propensity to churn – Endesa has been able to reduce customer attrition by 50% in just two years.
We can help you find the right path forward to embed intelligent decisioning into your business, understand customer behaviour and lifetime value, and make the right choices to transform the customer experience.

The technology industry talks a lot about structured data. Almost always when you hear about topics like Big Data or business intelligence, the power comes from manipulating, accelerating or integrating databases. In other words, rows and columns; structured data.
I used to think these structured data companies would join forces with unstructured data experts to deliver insights across an entire organization’s data. But now I wonder if that would be like a railroad company merging with a car tire manufacturer; they’re both in the transport industry but there are very few synergies.
Structured and unstructured data companies are trying to answer very different questions. Structured data companies want to analyze as much data as possible to show what happened. They build models based on historical data to predict what might happen in the future.
By contrast, unstructured data gives you the reasons why something happened, or at least someone’s opinions as to why they happened. Unstructured data technologies can provide you with context and clarification around a particular event or issue to help you make up your mind or provide greater insight.
I can think of many use cases for marrying the facts of structured data with the reasons and context of unstructured data. One recent example was in healthcare. IBM announced it was using content analysis software to understand unstructured data elements such as doctors’ notes alongside the structured parts of patients’ health records such as treatment dates and test results.
Another good example is information security.
Infosec and unstructured data
A very large proportion of external attacks now come through “spear-phishing”—typically a website link or poisoned attachments emailed to people at a particular company. Once a user has been tricked into opening one of these, it lodges a file on their PC which then replicates itself across that organization’s network. Really clever malware also morphs as it copies itself, to thwart our efforts to detect and clean it.
Identifying and remediating these attacks requires a technology that can analyze when files were created, copied or accessed and stored, and where there are duplicates and similar files across the network. It’s easy to envisage a technology based around the Nuix Engine that would create and maintain a light metadata index across many computers to hunt down rogue .exe and SQLite injections, and analyze and remediate these files.
Infosec companies are used to dealing with masses of semi-structured data such as log files. These are plain text but come in a predictable and sequential format. So perhaps the jump into fully unstructured data isn’t so great in this case.
Let’s get together
We are very interested in partnering with organizations that are seeking to add unstructured data capabilities to their tools and workflows. That’s why we launched the Nuix OEM program. If that interests you, please get in touch!

text: Bioenergy production from lignocellulosic biomass is challenging due to its complex structure. Therefore, a pretreatment is required before methane production. Studies investigating the pretreatment of lignocellulosic waste using rumen fluid are limited and focused only on a certain waste. In this study, pretreatment by rumen microorganisms was applied for different types of lignocellulosic wastes: wheat straw, cotton stalk, reeds and sunflower stalk. The reactors containing 1 g waste were pretreated for 2, 5, 10, 15 and 20 days to investigate optimum pretreatment time for methane production. After the pretreatment stages and gas measurements, reactors were separated into two phases as solid phase and liquid phase. The reactors were installed for the anaerobic digestion; gas measurements were made cumulatively. Modified Gompertz equation was used to estimate potential biogas production. The maximum biogas productions were obtained in 2 days pretreatment of wheat straw, reeds and sunflower stalk with 1.2 to 1.4-fold increase compared to non-pretreated wastes. Maximum increase in biogas amount of 1.3-fold was obtained in 5 and 10 days pretreated cotton stalk compared to non-pretreated cotton stalk. The highest methane yield was obtained in 5 days pretreated wheat straw with 101.7 ml methane. The maximum methane yield was followed by reeds waste pretreated for 20 days with 76.15 ml, sunflower stalk pretreated for 2 days with 52 ml, and cotton stalk pretreated for 2 days with 50 ml methane. Rumen pretreatment had positive effects in the production of methane from different lignocellulosic wastes, depending on the pretreatment time. It has been suggested to examine the effect of rumen on methane and other fuel productions from other wastes.

“House Republican Leader says lawmakers should fix the budget mess sooner rather than later,” says the headline of the press release sent to me yesterday by the Republican Party. The press release, in which the state’s House Minority Leader Richard DeBolt (R-Chehalis) calls for a special session of the legislature to make cuts instead of allowing the Governor to do so, brought back memories.
I was covering a conservative, anti-tax rally on the Capitol Steps in Olympia on President’s Day for the Olympia Newswire, standing next to the speakers’ tent beside the podium in order to avoid the blare of the too-loud speakers directed at the 2000+ attendees. Amber Gunn, Policy Director for the Evergreen Freedom Foundation, a conservative think tank that sponsored the tea-party-like rally, told the crowd that “Government can’t create anything. Real wealth creation only happens in the private sector.”
Gunn then went on to list a series of proposals for addressing the state’s $2.8 billion budget shortfall without tax increases. This included getting the state out of the following businesses altogether: tourism promotion, liquor sales, parks and public lands administration, and arts and culture funding. She also called for the implementation of State Auditor Brian Sonntag’s recommendations for increasing government efficiency. But Gunn saved her biggest proposals for last: subcontract government services out to private industry whenever possible, freeze the salaries of remaining government employees and reduce their health care benefits.
As Gunn read through her policy proposals, I observed Richard DeBolt confess to a colleague that “we don’t get to say these things.”
But in so many words, they do. Most Republicans and not a few politicians in the so-called “Roadkill” caucus of middle-of-the-road Democrats in the Washington state legislature talk openly about government spending as if it were something that only inhibits economic growth. They talk about government employees as people who are always fundamentally inferior to private sector workers, and therefore inefficient. And they oppose raising taxes because they assume that, in the end, whatever contribution government makes to the economy is always offset by the negative effect it has by raising taxes to pay for its spending.
The truth is much more complicated. Government spending creates more jobs in Washington state than any other single industry. In 2008, 18.5 percent of all jobs in Washington state, or 546,300 jobs, were government jobs (federal–including military–, state, and local). State government alone employs more Washington residents than Boeing and Microsoft combined– about 150,000 people, or 5 percent of Washington state’s total workforce. And this doesn’t even take into account the tens if not hundreds of thousands of jobs in Washington’s private sector that are heavily dependent upon government contracts or government employee consumer spending.
Despite these facts, most anti-tax activists and not a few moderates do not consider government spending to be part of the “real” economy.
Just a generation ago, Gunn’s list of budget cutting priorities would have been seen as extreme. And the notion that government spending has no positive effect upon the economy would have been dismissed as ignorant of both 20th century history and mainstream economics.
But the landscape changed after the Republican “revolution” of the 1994, when mid-term elections brought a wave of activist anti-government Republican legislators into public office across the country, with Newt Gingrich serving as its public face in Congress. Locally, this anti-tax movement (with Tim Eyman serving as its de facto spokesperson) has overwhelmed and almost driven to extinction the Dan Evans-style moderates who used to dominate Washington’s Republican Party by promoting good government instead of no government.
Fifteen years later, calls to privatize many government functions and downsize the rest are now mainstream inside the state’s Republican Party. Indeed, they have only increased as part of an emerging right-wing agenda for responding to the growing budget crisis in Olympia.
According to anti-tax ideologues, the only way to create jobs during a recession is for the government to fire people, and to make those remaining government employees do more for less money. In this view, government, rather than playing an essential, if still secondary, role in the economy, is a parasite on “real” wealth creation. Taxes– rather than preventing the economy from overheating in booms or stimulating consumer spending during busts–do nothing but inhibit capitalism’s process of creative destruction.
So what is government for? There has been some good reporting on the question of whether the state Republican Party’s dissent against increasing taxes makes it anything more than “the party of No,” as state Senator Adam Kline (D-Seattle) dismissively described them to me. The Olympian reported in February that “the minority party is refusing to show exactly how it could get to a budget balanced without new revenue.” NPR reporter Austin Jenkins followed up on the Olympian’s story for Crosscut.com with an attempt to “discern some shadowy outlines of the GOP approach.” He found some Republicans willing to talk openly about cutting health care for the uninsured and income supports for those with mental and physical disabilities that make them unable to work. But even then, talk of “values” and the wonders of the free market trumped specifics about how cutting thousands of public employee jobs was going to get us out of the Great Recession.
When Kirby Wilbur of the right-wing, anti-tax group Americans For Prosperity followed Amber Gunn a couple speakers later at the President’s Day rally, he asked the crowd what kind of economics raises taxes in a recession to stimulate the economy, since taxes are an extra hardship in tough times. “That’s stupid-nomics!,” Kirby boomed, answering his own question.
Actually, it’s called counter-cyclical economics. It’s a Keynsian economic theory that dominated public policy in this country from the 1940s through the early 1970s, and oversaw the greatest expansion of the middle class in United States history. Has anyone in Olympia heard of it?
Counter-cyclical economics helped explain why balanced budgets, low taxes, and low interest rates could not end the Great Depression. When unemployment reached 20-30 percent, consumer spending dropped through the floor. Those with wealth did not want to invest in businesses that would produce goods that most people had no money to afford. Taxing wealthy individuals enabled the government to circulate money that otherwise would have been hoarded, to get it into the hands of people who would spend it, and to allow that spending to drive the creation of new businesses. It didn’t end the Depression– only wartime government spending was large enough to do that. But it did reduce unemployment, and provided a blueprint for the post-war expansion of the middle class after World War II.
Nearly seven decades later, most of those lessons have been lost. Anti-tax, anti-government ideology reminiscent of Herbert Hoover reigns supreme even as unemployment hovers around 10 percent (and real unemployment is probably closer to 20 percent). It dominates public policy debates because the Democratic Party, the Party of FDR, because it pays it so much deference. In fairness, Democratic Party deference to anti-tax politics is less ideological than it is pragmatic, conditioned by more than a decade of success of anti-tax initiatives at the polls. The state’s Democratic Party leadership was traumatized by the 1994 Republican revolution followed by years of Tim Eyman’s anti-tax initiatives, leaving them shell shocked and defensive even when they have a super-majority.
Washington state is hardly unique in this regard. Nationally, while private sector employment is showing modest gains, much of it is being offset by the growing unemployment of public sector workers overseen by Democrat-controlled state and local governments. The memory of the New Deal has faded, and the party of FDR is struggling under the weight of blue dogs who, scared of raising taxes on the wealthy, trick themselves into believing that deep cuts to government services will somehow put America back to work.

Tourists of the future: importance of pro-environmental attitude among secondary school children
Keywords:responsible education, ethical tourism, sustainable,, environmental awareness
In the last few years the importance of responsible thinking, ethic and the sensitivity to the environment have become a significant part of the postmodern tourism. The people in the service sector, the agents, the ministers and other decision-makers and the travellers are more and more conscious about the questions of social and environmental effects. The members of the new generation, who are the young, against the elder people have a tendency to travel, have much more information about the technical details of the journey and how to organize it. The following questions can arise: whether the secondary school students know the effects of their travels; whether they know that their visits can have a positive or negative influence on the environment or the society of the destination. The first purpose is to acquire more information about the topic, since if we know the deficiency and faults of the education, the alteration of it can happen easily. The study shows the secondary school students’ the sensitivity to the environment, reports the narrow cross sections, where the people who are in connection with the students (for example teachers, parents, older acquaintances) can help in creating an ethic and conscious aspect.

I walk slowly towards the bed. Of course it has to be on the bed. The floor feels so cold to my bare feet, yet there is heat all around. I feel a few drops of sweat slowly trickle down between my breasts, feel the drops disintegrate as they reach my abdomen. I tighten the robe around me, keep on walking and will myself to relax.
A few minutes pass and I am sitting on the bed, my mind a blank. I see neither my surroundings, nor anyone around me. All I see is him, and the way his eyes light up with mischievous glee whenever he was in the mood for some skin on skin action. I smile and feel his soft lips exploring every inch of my body. I sigh and remember his rough hands on my breasts, holding down my arms, lifting my legs and supporting my hips. I remember the feel of him inside me, the sheer strength of his thrusts—but mostly, I remember his eyes on mine, and the way he would dissolve into me after we have both reached our climax.
“That’s a wrap!”
Somebody hands me my robe and I get dressed. My eyes focus, and I remember where I am. A hotel room, with about 5 people, including the photographer, the make-up and wardrobe people, and the lights men, doing a boudoir photography session, and my one hour is up.
“Hey, how did the session go?” Tina asked.
I looked up from my cubicle and saw Tina’s excited face.
“It was . . .” I paused for effect. “. . . an experience,” I said slowly, a half smile on my lips.
“It felt good, right? I enjoyed my session tremendously, and of course, Sam just loved the photos! He said it was the perfect wedding gift!”
I smiled, enduring the conversation because it was Tina who referred me to Bryce, the expert boudoir photographer. When Tina heard he was doing free sessions, she immediately signed me up. The sessions lasted the whole day, with each woman selected having one hour each. At the end of the session, I got a DVD of all the shots; however, Bryce retains ownership of the copies and would coordinate with me should he need to post any picture on his website, or in his gallery.
“What do you plan to do with your photos?” Tina asked.
I looked up at her, saw her earnest face, and bit back the retort that came to mind first. “I don’t know yet. For me, it’s not really the photos that matter. It’s the fact that I had gone through the whole session and lived to tell the tale.”
Tina laughed. “You’re so funny!” Then she heard footsteps behind her, turned, saw our boss walking towards my cubicle, and she bid me a hasty good bye.


This week’s Heavy Music HQ reviews include releases from Battalions, BillyBio, A Canorous Quintet, Emigrate, Groza, Marius Danielsen, Master, Sacrosanct, Stilla, Valkyrja and Virgin Black.
The ratings are on a 5 star scale.
Battalions – Forever Marching Backwards (APF)
Forever Marching Backwards, the third album in three years from Battalions, is a riff-centric joyride dipped in a groove coating. Battalions know their way around a good guitar riff, and make sure to show it off in these eight songs. It takes a few seconds in each to get to the beer-soaked heart of Battalions’ frantic sludge metal.
For a half-hour album, there’s a great deal of unexpected charm, from the charging instrumental “Vaseline (G)Love” to the doom-centric “Infinite Void.” The title track and “Black Hole” bolt the album into a devious mode. The approach of doing an album a year could result in burnout or heavy filler, but Battalions avoids both of those possibilities with the marvelous Forever Marching Backwards.
BillyBio – Feed The Fire (AFM)
Billy Graziadei is Biohazard’s longtime guitarist, and is also part of Powerflo with Cypress Hill’s SenDog and Fear Factory’s Christian Olde Wolbers. Feed The Fire is his first solo album, and is released under the moniker BillyBio.
The album blends blistering thrash infused hardcore like the title track and “Enemy” with mid-tempo paced tracks such as “Generation Z” and “Sodality” that amp up the groove. The music is straightforward and direct, with hardcore style vocals and some melodic singing. While there are certainly Biohazard influences on the album, Graziadei incorporates plenty of other styles to give BillyBio its own identity.
A Canorous Quintet – The Only Pure Hate MMXVIII (Black Lodge)
Twenty years ago, the Swedish melodic death metal band A Canorous Quintet released their second album before splitting. They reunited a couple years ago and have re-recorded that album with the title The Only Pure Hate MMXVIII. A Canorous Quintet have a nasty edge to them that is refreshing to behold, even in this day and age. It adds to the typical melodic death music they perform and makes it more punishing. Though the music isn’t wholly original, even for its time, it is different enough to make an impact. The vocalist has a raspy tone that is reminiscent of At the Gates’ Tomas Lindberg, as is the band’s music as a whole. It still resonates with a clarity that is refreshing and different enough from that outfit.
Their blend of aggression and melody is welcome and makes for a well-rounded release. They even add in acoustic tracks like “Everbleed” for variety. This is definitely one of the better albums from the genre I’ve heard this year even though it adds very little to the melodic death metal genre as a whole and is a re-recording. The Only Pure Hate MMXVIII is an album that knows its influences, but definitely makes the best of them for added impact.
Emigrate – A Million Degrees (Spinefarm)
Emigrate are the side project of German industrial metal band Rammstein’s founding guitarist, Richard Kruspe. Started in 2007, A Million Degrees is his third album, and follows a similar template as 2014’s Silent So Long. Namely, ample hints of Rammstein’s machine-like beats and plenty of hooks, but with much more focus on melody.
As always, Kruspe invites several guest vocalists to appear. This time, he gets help from Rammstein bandmate Till Lindemann on one track, Billy Talent’s Ben on another, and Kruspe’s partner, Margaux Bossieux. While overall a bit more pensive than Silent So Long, there are a few energetic tracks (“War” and “1234” are excellent) that make A Million Degrees worth checking out.
Groza – Unified In Void (AOP)
Groza’s debut album Unified in Void is an impressive record on many levels, and I think there’s a story behind the success of their first album. Shortly after Mgła put their rendition of black metal music on the map, especially with their acclaimed album With Hearts Toward None, they gained many admirers and many bands tried to get that particular sound. Some of them failed, but some like Groza managed to succeed.
Groza are now on that very spot. Their music follows nihilistic, dark, cold and bleak themes, while the lyrics go through various directions, but in the end it keeps itself close to nihilism, hopelessness and misanthropy, which are poetically impressive. Groza’s music on Unified in Void deals with major bleakness, the sadness blended with grieving, sorrowful melodies and epic soundscapes to human suffering. With another look at Mgła’s discography, you find their debut album is called Groza. Groza have borrowed so many elements from Mgła but they are not their mimics, though some may think they are.
Marius Danielsen – Legend Of Valley Doom: Part 2 (Crime)
While Darkest Sins guitarist/vocalist Marius Danielsen‘s debut solo album was ten years in the making, the follow-up only took three years. Legend Of Valley Doom: Part 2 continues the lyrical theme of the debut.
Also like the debut, there are tons of high profile guest musicians ranging from vocalists Michael Kiske, Ripper Owens, Blaze Bayley and Mark Boals to guitarists Bruce Kulick, Tom Naumann (Primal Fear) and Timo Somers (Delain) along with numerous others. Even with so many guests, the concept is what ties things together, maintaining a cohesive feel throughout. It’s very symphonic and melodic, an ambitious effort with quality songs and a lot of variety.
Master – Vindictive Miscreant (Transcending Obscurity)
Death metal legends Master have been crushing skulls for 35 years, and have released quite a bit of material lately. Since their 2016 album Epiphany Of Hate, Master have issued two live albums, a compilation and a split with Dehuman. Vindictive Miscreant is their fourteenth studio album.
There’s nothing new here, just good, old-fashioned, ripping death metal. The riffs are razor-sharp, and Paul Speckmann’s vocals are raw and distinctive. While it’s intense and extreme, there’s a surprising amount of catchiness, especially on songs like “Actions Speak Louder Than Words.” Master deliver 45 minutes of first-rate old school death metal.
Sacrosanct – Necropolis (Rock Of Angels)
I hadn’t heard of German metallers Sacrosanct until just recently. And that’s okay: it’s been twenty-five years since the release of their third album. Now returning to the scene reinvigorated and ready for action, the thrash/power metal veterans present Necropolis, their fourth album.
There are a lot of fast, thrashy movements throughout, with a heavy emphasis on what we call power metal now, but back in the band’s heyday was just “metal.” The feel of the music is somewhat reminiscent of old Anacrusis albums. Vocalist Richard Hesselink has a great voice, although an odd country twang accompanies much of his singing. Aside from that, this is a welcome return and immediately positions Sacrosanct as a band to watch going forward.
Stilla – Synviljor (Nordvis)
Just in time for winter, it’s the latest album from the Swedish black metal band Stilla. Synviljor is the group’s fourth studio release.
While their nature-inspired brand of black metal has the cold, icy riffs and tremolo guitars the genre is known for, tracks like the opener “Fraisefrosten” also inject some groove into the extremity. The tracks are long, generally in the six to eight minute range, giving them plenty of space to develop and shift, moving from oppressive and dense parts to more moderate and mellow sections. And while there is some repetition in the riffs, it tends to be more hypnotic than monotonous.
Valkyrja – Throne Ablaze (W.T.C.)
It has been five years since the last Valkyrja album, and the Swedish black metal outfit has seen some turmoil recently. Vocalist RSDX, who had been with the band for a couple of years, exited. Founding guitarist Simon Wizen takes over vocal duties on Thrones Ablaze. It’s also the first Valkyrja album for drummer V. Parri.
For having little previous experience doing black metal vocals, Wizen does a fine job on the album. His lyrics have a more existential bent, exploring topics rife with despair and hopelessness. Musically, Throne Ablaze follows the path of previous Valkyrja albums, blending brutality with regal melodies that makes for a punishing yet diverse effort. Former vocalist A.L. also makes a guest appearance on the nearly eight minute epic “Transcendental Death.”
In 2008, the Australian symphonic/gothic metal band Virgin Black released the second part of their Requiem trilogy, and then seemingly disappeared. A decade later, they have re-emerged with the trilogy’s third installment, Requiem – Pianissimo.
Following Mezzo Forte, which means “moderately loud,” and Fortissimo, which means “very loud,” things are more reserved on Pianissimo, which means “very soft.” While there are some bombastic moments, the majority of the album is quiet and reserved, with the focus on strings, piano and operatic vocals. With help from the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra and a choir, Virgin Black deliver a dynamic conclusion to the Requiem saga. And though it’s not heavy or loud, it still packs a powerful emotional punch.

A world-first project will combine flow battery technology with tidal power to produce continuous green hydrogen.
The European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC), Orkney, Scotland will deploy an Invinity Energy Systems 1.8 MWh flow battery at EMEC’s tidal energy test site on the island of Eday. This unique combination of tidal power and flow batteries will be used to power EMEC’s hydrogen production plant, demonstrating continuous hydrogen production from variable renewable generation.
Neil Kermode, managing director at EMEC, said: “This is the first time that a flow battery will have been coupled with tidal energy and hydrogen production, and will support the development of the innovative energy storage solution being developed in the Interreg NWE ITEG project.”
Funded with GB£1.8m from the Scottish Government, via Highlands and Islands Enterprise (HIE), Invinity’s modular flow battery system consists of eight Invinity VS3 battery modules linked together into a single system.
Invinity’s vanadium flow batteries (VFBs) are a form of heavy duty, stationary energy storage that provide hours of continuous power, one or more times per day, through decades of service.
At EMEC’s site, the system will store electricity generated by tidal turbines during high power periods, and discharge it during low power periods. This will ‘smooth’ tidal generation to create continuous, on-demand electricity to turn into hydrogen using EMEC’s 670 kW hydrogen electrolyser.
The project is expected to go live next year.

What Is Déjà Vu?
If you’ve ever been going about your day as usual, only to be struck by the sudden feeling that you’ve somehow—however improbably—already experienced what you’re going through, then congratulations: You’ve just experienced déjà vu. You might even know the name for the feeling. But what is déjà vu, really? And what could possibly explain this weird and unsettling experience?

4 of History’s Strangest Scientific Theories
Throughout the entirety of human history, we’ve strived continuously to understand the world—to come up with plausible explanations for natural phenomena that we may not fully grasp. Alas, as some of history’s strangest scientific theories demonstrate, we don’t always get it right. In fact, we’re frequently so wrong that many of these now-obsolete theories edge into outright absurdity.

When evaluating a product or a service, many technical aspects come into our minds. We enjoy evaluating quantitative variables - generally related to speed, time, and capacity. Despite that, I would like to shed some light on three also important non-technical features: the tendency of a technology solution to benefit sentient beings, its ability to enhance our decision making, and the impact a tech solution has on the natural environment and on the people that are directly connected to the company.
Look for Merit, not Only Value
When we analyze if we should purchase a product or sign up for a service, we naturally look for how much value it could generate for us and see if it is worth paying for it.
But, what we should be doing is looking for ways that we could use technology to create not just value but rightful thinking and action.
Some social networks create value by boosting our ego thru "likes" and praises we get on our posts online. But, in the end, that does not help us because feeding our ego doesn't foster rightful thinking nor action. In this case, we can not talk about merit, just value.
Several technologies are capable of going beyond creating value. Take Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) as an example. Thanks to AAC, people with cognitive deficiencies are empowered to communicate with their loved ones and medical staff, enabling an essential human quality.
Go for Decision Empowering
Good tech doesn't decide for us but gives us options and provides us with data to make better decisions.
Weather forecast is an easy way to understand how tech can help us. Imagine two different tech solutions, each providing one of the messages below.
1) Tomorrow it's going to rain.
2) There is a 10% chance of rain tomorrow.
The first message leaves little space for the user to decide whether it would be necessary to take an umbrella for a walk. Considering the unpredictable nature of weather forecasts, it turns out to be not very helpful.
On the other hand, if you had access to message #2, you would probably ignore the 10% risk of precipitation and go for an umbrella-free walk.
Care for Environmental Impact and People
Electric vehicles (EV) are the new environmental stars of the automobile industry. We all know they are considered an environmentally-friendly mode of transportation. But we should be careful not to jump to conclusions just because new tech is cool. Do they deserve the hype? What raw materials are employed in production, how are they being obtained, and are there any production-related ecological impacts?
If we want to be committed to creating a better world for our children, we need to start caring for the consequences that rest beyond the products' features. There will always be some impact on nature and people directly and indirectly connected to production, so we need to reduce our footprint.
We should downgrade brands that act with no respect for us and our planet.
We need to bring our relationship with technology to the next level. Analyzing design and performance is still necessary, but there are additional aspects that we need to explore if we want to create a better future for ourselves.

Canadians willing to pay road tolls, poll suggests
Danny Potente, a daily user of Canada's newest toll bridge, says he's more than happy to pay for his shortened commute between Laval and Montreal.
"It's literally changed my life," says Potente. "It has cut 40 to 60 minutes off my commute. It's 40 to 60 extra minutes at home."
According to a new poll, Potente is not alone.
Half of Canadians surveyed in an online poll conducted exclusively for CBC News by Leger Marketing said they would be willing to pay road tolls if it would ease gridlock and shorten their commute.
Road tolls have long been a taboo topic for many politicians, but it appears Canadians are not as averse to the idea.
By taking the toll bridge from his home in Laval into Montreal, Potente only drives 1.2 kilometres to work and pays up to $2.40 each way. The cost adds up to about $1,200 a year, but Potente says it's well worth it.
"My time is extremely valuable," says Potente. "If there was an option to pay more to save me even more time, absolutely no doubt about it [I would pay more]."
On average, city commuters appear willing to pay up to $3 a day for road tolls, according to the poll.
Tolls favoured on new roads
Seventy-six per cent of those surveyed in Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver said tolls would be acceptable on new bridges or roads to pay for the cost of building them.
By comparison, only 56 per cent of the city dwellers deemed it acceptable to add a toll to an existing bridge or road to pay for needed repairs.
Using tolls to pay for transit upgrades garnered even less support, at 47 per cent.
Whereas road and bridge tolls are more commonplace in Europe and the United States, only 18 tolls exist across Canada — the majority of which are for bridges and tunnels straddling the Canada-U.S. border.
With cash-strapped governments struggling to pay for growing and crumbling infrastructure, that could soon change.
And the Leger poll suggests that many Canadians living in congested cities would be open to the idea. Most of those surveyed agreed that the use of tolls would place the "financial burden where it belongs."
Pessimism about future
Few Canadians expect smoother commutes on the horizon.
More than a third of those living in Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver suspect it will worsen. A mere one in 10 believe it will become more pleasant.
Adding new lanes, overpasses and ramps is no longer an option to improve road congestion, warns Ottavio Galella, a traffic expert and engineer who touts tolls as a way to help change motorist behaviour.
"We need a completely different approach to get rid of gridlock in our cities," says Galella.
Galella says Canada is trailing behind other countries in the push for toll roads, which could help reduce strain on roads and increase overall efficiency.
Most commuters in Canada's largest cities agree that road tolls would encourage drivers to take public transit, according to the poll.
In fact, nearly three-quarters of city drivers were willing to switch to public transit, if it saved them time.
Mixed opinions on transit
The question remains whether public transit could handle such a shift.
Nearly half of commuters in Canada's biggest cities felt like their public transit system is running at maximum capacity and can't handle more riders.
When asked about the state of their respective transit systems, Torontonians and Montrealers were split in their opinions.
Six out of 10 Montrealers surveyed think their public transit is in good shape, whereas only half that number of Torontonians felt the same, according to the poll.
But most city commuters believe that a portion of road tolls should go toward public transit.
"I really don't see any bad in tolls," says Potente. "It will get people off the roads. And this green initiative is obviously not going away."
Two separate Leger Marketing online polls were conducted for CBC News. Figures referring to residents of Canada's three largest cities — Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal — are based on a survey of 500 residents in each city conducted Nov. 11-15.
Data referring to Canadians is based on a survey conducted Nov. 14-16 of 1,500 residents across the country.

On Monday, U.S. House Rep Lauren Boebert (R-CO) called for ABC to put host George Stephanopoulos “on the bench” after his “vile treatment” of Nancy Mace.
In an interview on Monday, Mace repeatedly accused Stephanopoulos of trying to shame her for her support of former President and GOP presidential frontrunner Donald Trump.
Boebert declared in a post on X, “ABC should put George Stephanopoulos on the bench after his vile treatment of @NancyMace yesterday.”
“She was there to discuss the 2024 race and instead Stephanopoulos brings up her rape to try and score points against Trump,” Boebert explained.
Boebert concluded, “Absolutely abhorrent behavior.”

Absolutely abhorrent behavior.
— Lauren Boebert (@laurenboebert) March 11, 2024
While Stephanopoulos didn’t directly reference Mace’s previous rape, he did appear to infer it by asking how she does she “square” her endorsement of Trump based on the fact that he was held liable for rape in the E. Jean Carroll case.
Mace told Stephanopoulos, “I will tell you, I was raped at the age of 16 and any rape victim will tell you, I’ve lived for 30 years with an incredible amount of shame over being raped. I didn’t come forward because of that judgment and shame that I felt.”
“I’m not going to sit here on your show and be asked a question meant to shame me about another potential rape victim. I’m not going to do that,” Mace insisted.
Stephanopoulos attempted to object, but Mace told him, “You’re asking me a question about my political choices trying to shame me as a rape victim, and I find it disgusting.”

Mahindra Marazzo also known as the U321 will be the next big launch from the Indian automaker Mahindra & Mahindra and indeed there is a lot of anticipation already about the company’s new MPV. Now in the Indian market, other than the Toyota Innova Crysta and Maruti Suzuki Ertiga, not many MPVs have tasted success. Even at lower price band, the Datsun Go+ failed to capture the market and also in the mid-segment, the Honda Mobilio and Renault Lodgy remained as the most underrated utility vehicles (UVs).
But for Mahindra Marazzo the though and the positioning is different. The company says that there is a scope between where the prices of Maruti Suzuki Ertiga end and before the price to Toyota Innova Crysta start for a whole new MPV market. Now while not all the details about the Mahindra Marazzo (U321) is out, what we know is that its design is inspired by Shark, the name of the Mahindra’s new vehicle is derived from a sub-language of Spanish spelled as ‘Marrazo’ and the development of the U321 codenamed MPV has been done by Mahindra Research Valley (MRV) in Chennai along with Mahindra North America Technical Centre (MNATC).
Now the shark-inspired design on the Mahindra Marazzo, as much as its new, it also in-depth follows the Mahindra’s new design language. Keeping Mahindra’s family design elements and taking an inspiration from a whole new creature the company has tried to create a new family car that’s design giving priority to space and comfort. Also, the design of Mahindra Marazzo is done by both Mahindra design studio and Pininfarina. The way Mahindra works is both the company’s in-house design team and Pininfarina individually designs its own vehicles, and the best design elements from both models are taken for the concept and the changes are done on the approved production model.
This new shark inspired design on the Mahindra Marazzo is one of the firsts of Mahindra’s new design language that will be carry forwarded to other Mahindra’s new SUVs. While Mahindra is yet to unveil the vehicle, from the what’s known and from the spy shots, the Marazzo will get an aggressive front grille with inserts that are inspired from shark’s teeth. Its silhouette is different and very aerodynamically designed and the rear lights take its inspiration from the shark’s tail.
Mahindra Marazzo will make its official launch in India in the first week of September 2018.
Mahindra Marazzo will be offered in both 7-seat and 8-seater option which means it will also get the option of captain seats in the middle. The A/C ventilation unit on this Mahindra vehicle will be sealed up on the roof with four A/C vents catering to the rear of the Marazzo’s cabin. Two-reading lights and Mahindra also claims the Marazzo largest footprint in the cabin of any Mahindra vehicle. Now, this is the first time we are measuring a vehicle this way, but Mahindra means that it will have a lot of space inside. The top-variants of the MPV will also get a touchscreen infotainment system along with the support of Apple Car Play an Android Auto. It will also get a digital instrument cluster with steering mounted controls.
On the engine front, Mahindra Marazzo will be sold only with the diesel engine option for starters as confirmed by Rajan Wadhera, President, Automotive Sector, M&M. The 1.5L (known as D15) diesel engine on the Mahindra Marazzo is a new diesel engine developed by the company and will also be used in other new Mahindra SUVs including the codenamed S201 Tivoli based sub-compact SUV.
Mahindra Marazzo price:
Mahindra Marazzo will be a premium vehicle and will be loaded with the features. The fact that Mahindra is also working on revamping its entire dealer network suggests its set to enter a new territory. However, Mahindra will also be aggressive with Marrazo’s price, We expect the MPV to be positioned just above the top variants of Ertiga starting at around Rs 11 lakh going all the way to up to Rs 16 lakh (Ex-Showroom).
Mahindra’s dealerships across India will now be known as ‘World of SUVs’ and the company is also working to create a separate space within the showroom to place its high-end premium products. However, it is still not confirmed if Mahindra Marazzo will be the first vehicle to be placed in Mahindra’s new premium dealerships.
Mahindra Marazzo exports:
Mahindra & Mahindra also export to a lot of African and Asian countries from India and the new Mahindra Marrazo will be exported to all the current Mahindra’s export markets including Nepal, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka along with other African and South American countries. However, Mahindra does not plan to venture into new countries with this new vehicle.

You’ve heard of Qantas’ ‘flight to nowhere’. Now, prepare for the airline’s newest addition: a ‘flight to somewhere’.
The national carrier will operate a series of scenic getaway flights landing at some of Australia’s favourite holiday destinations, following the success of its seven-hour aerial tourism flight.
As more domestic borders open, the airline plans to evolve this concept to offer overnight getaways to iconic Aussies spots while still including low-level flybys.
“We were overwhelmed with the response to our scenic flight while most border restrictions were still in place,” Qantas CEO Alan Joyce said.
“It sold out in 10 minutes and the feedback from people on board was fantastic. Even the most frequent flyers said they had never experienced Australia from the air quite like that.
“Now that more borders are starting to open, we’re partnering with tourism operators on the ground to offer special flights to special destinations. Even though seats are limited, we think the awareness generated by these flights is a great way to get more people thinking about where they might holiday as we head towards summer.
“Across Qantas and Jetstar, we’re currently operating at just under 30 per cent of our pre-COVID domestic capacity and if borders continue to be relaxed, we’re hoping that will reach about 50 per cent by Christmas. That will be great news for a lot of people in the travel and tourism industry as well.”
The first Scenic Getaway Flight will take 110 passengers on board a Qantas 737 from Sydney to Uluru on Saturday 5 December.
The overnight outing will include a pre-flight lounge champagne breakfast, a flight to Uluru including low-level flybys of Sydney Harbour on departure and low-level circuits to offer passengers a bird’s eye view of Uluru and Kata Tjuta.
Qantas will partner with Voyages Indigenous Tourism Australia to give travellers access to Ayers Rock Resort’s premier hotel, Sails in the Desert, and a hands-on Indigenous art workshop, a Night at Field of Light including a three-course dinner under the stars using native ingredients, with a didgeridoo performance and an Indigenous interpretation of the night sky.
The following morning, passengers will watch the sunrise over Uluru and a guided walk to the Muṯitjulu Waterhole, as well as a visit to neighbouring Kata Tjuta, before a late morning brunch and a flight back to Sydney for a final harbour flyby before landing.
The first Qantas Scenic Flight Getaway goes on sale at 2pm today via Qantas’ website, with economy packages priced at $2,499 per person, and business-class tickets priced at $3,999 per person. Both options include twin-share accommodation.

Citation: Salhab M, Ali AA (2015) A Qualitative Analysis of People Views of Microfinance in Lebanon. Int J Econ Manag Sci 4:304. doi:10.4172/2162-6359.1000304

Introduction: In the Middle East and North Africa MENA microfinance struggles to find momentum. The Lebanese economy has been struggling through the years due to domestic and external, political and social instability. Although As of 2014 there are around 23 MFIs that are mainly subsidized by the USAID, operating in the country, the Lebanese microfinance market is mostly dominated by three microfinance institutions: Al Majmoua, Vitas and Al Quard Al Hassan Association.
Methodology: A quantitative approach using a standardized questionnaire would analyse the perception of the average Lebanese towards microfinance. A questionnaire was designed and validated.
Results: Almost half of the respondents earn a monthly income ranged between $100 and $600. Almost 52% of the respondents were university graduates, around 25% finished secondary and high school, and 12% hold a masters or MBA degree. Topic understanding towards microfinance differs across Lebanese areas. The highest percentage of respondents who claim that microfinance offers financial services to low income people are the residents of Beirut 35.1%, Bekaa 30.8%, and South of Lebanon 24.7%. Higher levels of topic understanding were associated with lower levels of age range. Al Quard el Hassan foundation was regarded as the most known micro financial institution operating in Lebanon. In general, Lebanese people tend to believe that microfinance can play an important role in reducing unemployment rates and poverty levels in Lebanon. When people were asked what would motivate you to get a loan from MFIs, most of the respondent 57.4% across all the Lebanese region claimed that it was the need for money to satisfy a need such as paying back a loan, to fix something at home, or for selfconsideration like buying a car.
Conclusion: Our findings showed that in general Lebanese tend to have a positive perception towards microfinance. However, most Lebanese perceive microfinance as the process of just providing loans without specifying for whom it is intended. We advise that government introduces laws to regulate the microfinance market.

Professor Severus Snape, played on screen by British actor Alan Rickman, was named the winner of the MTV News Harry Potter World Cup.
Among the climax moments in Harry Potter And The Deadly Hallows Part 2, the role of Snape cannot be overrated.
As the film series wind to a close, Snape's character is revealed a layer by another.
Is he good or evil? Producer David Heyman says the conclusion is quite complicated. Already, Snape's mysterious hatred for Harry, his unrequited love for Lily Potter and mysterious trust held by Dumbledore may have already captured your heart - along with Alan Rickman's acting that is just so fit for the role.
Will Alan Rickman miss playing Snape? To MTV's question, the award-winning British actor answered, I won't really miss anything because it's been such an extraordinarily complete character to play. To go back... I don't know what the scenario would be. It's been so much about... he appears to be one thing and then you find out a bit more about him as time goes on.
Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows - Part 2 opened at 12 a.m on July 15.
Alan Rickman reacts to MTV awarding him with a giant silver trophy
