The voices of your ads
Communication campaign for :
– TV advertising to find the voice talent whose voice will give soul and character to your message
– Radio ad, where the story (conception-writing) and the settings (sound design, sound effects, atmospheres, sfx) make the difference
– Sound identity because just as you have a visual logo, we can create your sound logo
We can listen and watch only what we find of interest. Today’s consumer has turned into his own programer thanks to replay, streaming and VOD. In order to survive and be heard, advertising has to be more creative than ever.
Over the past 30 years, we have worked for some of the largest and demanding international advertisers. San Pellegrino, Ferrero, Calzedonia, TripAdvisors, Geox, Uhu, Novotel, Dell, Rolex, Whirlpool, Asics, Prada… regularly entrust us with the soundtrack of their French TV campaigns.
Our experience is by far as rich and wide as that of many studios in Paris, only our costs are lighter.
San Pellegrino Campaign with Networks (Milan)
Production and design : they each account for 50 % of the success of a radio message. Form and substance are inseparable.
– Radio is everywhere: in your car, at work, at home
– Radio allows you to reach an audience that is not necessarily on other media
– Radio ads are inexpensive to produce and broadcast
– Radio ads create a lasting impression
Vox Pub has created a unique tool for your next campaign, based on a benchmark of your competitors, in order to maximize good practices and avoid the bad ones.
Changing from the traditional 30 second format, working with a new sound designer, recruiting a truly original voice, enriching oneself in foreign cultures : we will do everything to catch the attention of ears that have become selective. In the age of new media, the future of advertising lies in creativity.
Your image can speak out with a sound logo.
In a world where music is everywhere, consumers are more demanding when it comes to sound. Major advertisers are. And so can you. The design of an original musical signature is a demanding but rewarding process, as well as a strategic identity and differentiation issue.
Sound design reinforces the evocative power of the brand and emphasizes the process of recognition. Think of Dim, Darty, But, France Telecom, SNCF… and you immediately hear the sound jingle that identifies them. These 3 notes (often) are the substance of an elaborate musical code conceived with the announcer and in accordance with his values. In order to create yours, we will ask you a thousand questions about your brand’s values, its image, its history, before suggesting musical references, composing and then orchestrating the theme that will accompany your future successes.

Owning a greyhound can be an incredible experience for any pet lover. Greyhounds are known for their sweet and gentle dispositions, making them great family pets.
However, when owning one of these beautiful animals, there are specific considerations to keep in mind. From weather sensitivity to injury risks, it’s essential to know if greyhounds are good pets and the pros and cons of owning a greyhound before bringing one into your home.
Here we will discuss the benefits and drawbacks of having a greyhound as part of your family so that you can make an informed decision on whether this breed is right for you.
They Are Affectionate
Greyhounds are known for being loyal and affectionate pets. They tend to form strong bonds with their owners and show them lots of love and attention.
Greyhounds can be great companions as they are gentle, loving, tolerant, and patient dogs.
Greyhounds Are Not Aggressive Dogs
Greyhounds are not usually aggressive dogs. They are known for being gentle and friendly animals that enjoy companionship and show affection towards their owners.
Greyhounds have a very even temper that makes them excellent family pets, as they get along well with children and other pets in the household.
Greyhounds Good With Kids
Greyhounds are generally good with kids. They possess a gentle and tolerant demeanor which allows them to get along very well with children of all ages.
Greyhounds are usually quite patient and mild-mannered, and they can form strong bonds with their owners, so they will often become devoted companions to younger family members.
Greyhounds typically have a friendly and gentle temperament. They are known for being loyal and affectionate pets that form strong bonds with their owners.
Greyhounds can be very tolerant, patient, and mild-mannered dogs, so they usually get along well with children and other animals.
Greyhounds Do Not Need Many Exercises
Greyhounds only need a little exercise. Although they are not known to be active dogs and don’t require large amounts of physical activity, they still need adequate training to stay healthy.
Taking your Greyhound for regular daily walks is essential as it allows them to stay fit and burn off any excess energy.
Greyhounds are low-maintenance dogs. They don’t require much grooming or special care, making them easy to maintain.
They don’t usually bark excessively or cause any other trouble around the house. These dogs only need daily walks and regular playtime with their owners to stay healthy and happy.
Easy to Train
Greyhounds are relatively easy to train, eager to please their owners, and can learn simple commands quickly, but they require patience and consistency to learn more complex tasks; greyhounds usually catch on quickly when given the proper guidance from their owners.
Good Apartment Dogs
Greyhounds can be good apartment dogs. Despite their large size, greyhounds don’t require as much exercise as other breeds of dogs and are relatively low-maintenance in grooming and upkeep.
They are also known for being patient and mild-mannered, making them well-suited to living in an apartment where they won’t disturb the neighbors.
Also, they aren’t very noisy or active indoors – thus making them an excellent option for those looking for a quiet companion pet suitable for apartment living.
They Don’t Bark a Lot
Greyhounds typically don’t bark a lot. They are known for being relatively quiet dogs that don’t make too much noise indoors.
Greyhounds may bark if they sense danger or another pet in their territory, but generally, they are well-behaved and won’t start barking randomly like some other breeds of dogs do.
They Are Loyal
Greyhounds can be very loyal and affectionate pets. They form strong bonds with their owners and have a reputation for being patient and mild-mannered.
Greyhounds are also known to be tolerant, so they usually get along well with children and other animals.
Greyhounds are “large breeds” of dogs, weighing 50-90 pounds at full size. They take up a lot of space and have strong chasing instincts, making them difficult to control in certain situations.
Also, consider adopting a greyhound. You must be aware that many retired racing greyhounds have underlying health conditions due to long periods on the racetrack without proper medical attention.
Therefore, ensuring these animals get vet care before adopting them into your home is essential.
Not A Good Watchdog
Greyhounds are not good watchdogs. They tend to be friendly to strangers and do not bark at unfamiliar people or sounds.
Greyhounds may remain alert and attentive, but they won’t make good guard dogs because of their trusting nature and lack of aggression.
Greyhound Can Be Destructive Dog
They can be, but it is usually due to boredom or lack of exercise. Greyhounds have a strong prey drive and can be easily distracted by small animals, so they must be kept on a leash outdoors.
Greyhounds bred for racing require regular exercise and playtime with their owners to stay healthy and active.
If greyhounds become bored or don’t get enough exercise, they can become destructive and exhibit unwanted behaviors such as chewing furniture or clothing.
Greyhounds can be messy and prone to making accidental messes around the house.
Greyhounds bred for running can run very fast and may not be able to stop themselves quickly enough when chasing something – leading to accidents in the home.
Greyhound doesn’t shed much, but it does shed moderately during season changes.
Regular coat brushing with appropriate brushes and combs can help reduce shedding.
Also, regular vacuuming of carpets and furniture can help maintain a clean environment and reduce the amount of fur in your home.
Also, giving your healthy greyhound treats to keep its skin and coat healthy can help minimize shedding.
Following You Everywhere
Greyhounds may become too attached to their owners and constantly follow them around.
Greyhounds form strong bonds with their owners, and if not given enough exercise or stimulation, they can become overly eager for attention from their favorite person.
It’s essential to give your greyhound plenty of physical activity and mental stimulation to help prevent any excessive attachment behaviors.
Greyhounds Cannot Live Outside
They are sensitive to cold temperatures and can become seriously ill if left outdoors in the winter.
Greyhounds are better suited for life as indoor pets, where they can receive proper care and attention from their owners or family members.
If you want your Greyhound to be able to go outside during the day, it’s best to give them supervised exercise in a safe area or take them on short walks multiple times every day.
Greyhounds are sensitive to both hot and cold weather. They should not be left outside for long periods in either hot or cold temperatures as they can suffer from heatstroke or frostbite very quickly.
During the summer months, it’s best to keep your Greyhound indoors with plenty of shade and water available, so they don’t overheat.
During the winter, bring your Greyhound inside if the temperatures drop too low and provide them with a warm place to relax.
Greyhounds can experience separation anxiety when they are left alone for long periods.
Signs of separation anxiety in a greyhound include howling, chewing on furniture or objects, pacing, panting, and drooling excessively, and destructive behavior like digging or hiding possessions around the house.
Prone To Injuries
Greyhounds are prone to injury due to their long legs and slim build. Greyhounds can be susceptible to muscle strains and injuries because of their quick running or playing movements.
If your Greyhound suffers from an injury, it’s essential to seek veterinary attention to treat it appropriately.
Also, they are sensitive to cold temperatures, so it is crucial to keep them warm if they are outside for extended periods.
It’s also essential to keep your Greyhound on a healthy diet and get plenty of exercise to maintain its strength and agility.
Overall, owning a greyhound can be both rewarding and challenging. Greyhounds are affectionate companions that require regular exercise to stay healthy and active.
They may become overly attached to their owners or experience separation anxiety if left alone for long periods.
Also, they tend to make messes in the home and are prone to injuries due to their slim build and quick movements. With proper care, attention, dieting, and exercise, your Greyhound will remain happy and healthy for many years!

By altering bone marrow, ‘training’ can prepare innate immune system for future challenges
George Hajishengallis of the School of Dental Medicine and an international team of colleagues have found that “training” the immune system causes changes in the precursors of immune cells in the bone marrow. These changes could facilitate a more robust response to future infections or even enable the immune system to regenerate faster after chemotherapy.

Synthesis, spectroscopic characterization and antibacterial activity of new series of Schiff base derived from 4-aminoantipyrine and 2-amino benzimidazole
Keywords:Schiff base, Williamson ether synthesis, Biological activity, Azomethine
Background and objective: Compounds having imine or azomethine (–C=N–) functional group are known as Schiff bases. Schiff bases compounds are found to be an active pharmacophore for the design and development of various bioactive lead compounds. In this study, several new Schiff base compounds have been synthesized and characterized.
Methods: Williamson ether synthesis process has been used to synthesize -alkyloxy and substituted benzyloxy of benzaldehyde. Differently substituted ether benzaldehydes used to react with 4-amino-1,5-dimethyl-2-phenyl-1,2-dihydro-3H-pyrazol-3-one in one hand and 1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-amine on the other hand to produce Schiff base compounds.
Results: Synthesized ether derivative compounds (3a-e) were converted to new series of Schiff bases (4a-e and 5a-e) by condensation of equal molar amounts of compounds (3a-e) with different heterocyclic amines dissolved in absolute ethanol. All synthesized compounds were confirmed by (IR, 1H-NMR, and 13CNMR) spectroscopy. All synthesized compounds were evaluated for antibacterial activities in vitro against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.
Conclusion: All compounds were purely synthesized, and all compounds were indicated growth inhibition against Escherichia coli, and Staphylococcus aureus, respectively with different inhibition zones staring from 13 to 33 mm.

Two tiny rovers have landed on an asteroid. The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (Jaxa), have landed two robots on the pristine asteroid Ryugu. This asteroid has been unchanged since the formation of the Galaxy!
Jaxa’s spacecraft, Hayabusa 2, arrived to orbit the asteroid a few days ago to find the perfect landing spot for the two robots. Having landed safely they’ve already phoned home to say they’ve arrived, and have sent some photos too!
Although engineers with the agency deployed the robots early Friday, JAXA waited until Saturday to confirm the success of the operation.
Part of their mission will be to collect samples from just below the surface. Could it be that the seeds of life on earth were sown by an asteroid like Ryugu? We’ll find out when they come home with their souvenirs. Hayabusa 2 was launched in December 2014 and is planned to return with the samples to Earth by then end of 2020.
The agency still has two more deployments yet to accomplish before it can rest easy: Hayabusa2 is scheduled to deploy a larger rover called MASCOT in October and another tiny hopper next year. And of course, the main spacecraft has a host of other tasks to accomplish during its stay at Ryugu.

Modeling evolutionary dynamics of epigenetic mutations in hierarchically organized tumors.
MetadataShow full item record
The cancer stem cell (CSC) concept is a highly debated topic in cancer research. While experimental evidence in favor of the cancer stem cell theory is apparently abundant, the results are often criticized as being difficult to interpret. An important reason for this is that most experimental data that support this model rely on transplantation studies. In this study we use a novel cellular Potts model to elucidate the dynamics of established malignancies that are driven by a small subset of CSCs. Our results demonstrate that epigenetic mutations that occur during mitosis display highly altered dynamics in CSC-driven malignancies compared to a classical, non-hierarchical model of growth. In particular, the heterogeneity observed in CSC-driven tumors is considerably higher. We speculate that this feature could be used in combination with epigenetic (methylation) sequencing studies of human malignancies to prove or refute the CSC hypothesis in established tumors without the need for transplantation. Moreover our tumor growth simulations indicate that CSC-driven tumors display evolutionary features that can be considered beneficial during tumor progression. Besides an increased heterogeneity they also exhibit properties that allow the escape of clones from local fitness peaks. This leads to more aggressive phenotypes in the long run and makes the neoplasm more adaptable to stringent selective forces such as cancer treatment. Indeed when therapy is applied the clone landscape of the regrown tumor is more aggressive with respect to the primary tumor, whereas the classical model demonstrated similar patterns before and after therapy. Understanding these often counter-intuitive fundamental properties of (non-)hierarchically organized malignancies is a crucial step in validating the CSC concept as well as providing insight into the therapeutical consequences of this model.

A century of mountaineering: race, class and the politics of climbing Table Mountain, 1890 – 1990
Keywords:Race, Politics, Mountaineering, South African mountain club history
Mountaineering in Cape Town was first practised as a sport by the colonial elite during the late 19th Century. This historical review of two mountain clubs analyses the linkages between race, class and mountaineering in Cape Town, South Africa. The origins of mountaineering are inextricable from the racial hierarchy of colonial society, which was founded upon discrimination, segregation and unequal power relations between black and white. This is evident in the development of the exclusively white Mountain Club of South Africa – an organisation deeply embedded in the privileged political establishment. Similarly, the racialised power relations of the 20th Century would be reflected in the club’s distant, exclusionary and paternalistic relationship with local black mountaineers and the Cape Province Mountain Club. Through an exploration of the developmental trajectories of these two, at one time racially exclusive, mountaineering clubs, their interaction with each other and their navigation of the contemporary socio-political context, this paper tells the history and politics of climbing Table Mountain between 1890 to 1990.

2008 is going to be the best year I have had I a long time, why you may ask well it is simple.
I am not going to dwell on things or go to bed depressed or in a bad mood or sad. I will of only good things at bed time this way I hope to sleep better and feel good the next morning.
I have said for a long time that “Life is too short to be miserable” this is something I will remind myself of every day. I have a truly great family who love me and support me so why should I be unhappy.
Even Tim can be a great husband most of the time that is why we are still together, yes he has his faults but mostly his good outweigh the bad.
I will be making more of an effort to show Kathy how important she is to me and not come across as if I am showing her sisters favouritism. No matter how difficult a child she has been she is my precious number one daughter and because of that she will always hold a special place in my heart, even if I am not as close to her as I am to her sisters.
Kathy has a special and close relationship with her dad that I have and I have often felt jealous of that.
This is my year to shine now I just have to figure out how to shine….Any suggestions?
hi Jo-Anne..what a positive start to the new year.ReplyDelete
It is hard when kids feel mum or dad favour one over the other..like you said ..it isn't really like that..just the way personalities go..I hope you and Kathy can get closer.
You do shine already Jo- Anne..you are a super -dooper mother and wife and person!!
Thank you lil harry for saying that I'm a super-dooper person.ReplyDelete
I will say it takes one to know one.......

The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals or commonly known as SDGs
are an ambitious, universal set of objectives agreed by UN
member states. There are 17 in total and together they seek to change the world – by ending global poverty, protecting the planet and ensuring prosperity for all – by 2030. Implementation has begun, and there is plenty of work for governments, companies, the NGO
sector – and investors – to do. The clock is ticking. Here we explore the opportunities that the goals provide for long-term investors.
First, the goals represent sources of emerging growth for companies. That’s because they highlight acute and enduring needs which in turn translate to long-term growth opportunities that drive long-term value creation – for people, the planet and committed investors. Next, the goals support the integration of environmental, social and governance risks by helping investors to identify companies whose revenues are materially exposed to products and services that contribute to overcoming sustainability challenges.
This strengthens risk frameworks, helping investors manage their exposure to businesses with sustainability concerns that compromise long-term revenues. And it can lead to improved returns, by helping investors find companies that are embracing sustainability to enhance profitability and the long-term strength of their operations, and ultimately positive social impacts providing a timely opportunity to help create a sustainable future through SDG
focused engagements and investment decisions.

• WITHER was inspired by Disney's Beauty and the Beast and there are Easter eggs throughout the story. It is not a true retelling, however, so some elements were changed.
• Gerulf's house was inspired by Stan Hywet, a gorgeous historic house in Akron, Ohio.
• The title of Gerulf's book, Loss of Twilight, is completely random.
• The workplace explosion at Zane's father's job was inspired by a real incident that happened at my husband's job.
• Likewise, the premise behind the car accident was inspired by a friend whose girlfriend did the same thing during an argument (although it was in Illinois, not Switzerland, and he wasn't seriously harmed despite the car rolling over several times on a busy highway). He told the troopers what happened. She lied. He was arrested. The charges were eventually dropped but in the meantime he'd lost his car (it was totaled), lost his job (because he was a "no call/no show" due to sitting in jail over the weekend, waiting for bond call), lost his apartment (he'd moved in with her and she threw all his stuff out while he was in jail), and obviously lost his girlfriend.
• By writing about Zane's sexual harassment and Gerulf's domestic abuse, I'm hoping to bring awareness to both issues for male survivors. They're chronically underreported crimes and resources are woefully lacking for men who find themselves in these vulnerable positions. The idea that "men can't be abused" is ridiculous and stands in the way of getting victims the help they need. If my little novella can bring attention/awareness to that and help even one person, then my mission is complete.

Rural Electrification and Small and Medium Enterprise’s’ (Smes) Performances in Mvomero District, Morogoro, Tanzania
Dr Romanus L. Dimoso.
In recent years, Tanzania has been experiencing increasing in number of SMEs business in rural areas particularly in areas where Rural Electrification Programs (REA) have been well implemented. These programs are always associated with low connecting costs which attract many households to use the energy. This study examined the effects of rural electrification programs to the SMEs’ performances measured in revenues collected by these SMEs. The study was done in Mvomerodistrict, Morogoro. The Ordered Logistic Regression (OLR) model was employed in the data analysis. Tests suchas Oparallel and Brant were used to assess the assumptions of parallel lines. Findings on the determinants of electrical adoption reveals that 59.385 percent of SMEs’ owners who have higher revenues adopt electricity while education influence on the electrical adoption among SMEs’ owner is only 8.29 percent. Moreover, findings on the effects of rural electrification programs on SMEs’ performances shows that distance to the nearby transformer, willingness to pay for REA, affordability of the REA programs and adoption of the REA energy among SMEs increase SMEs performances significantly. Consequently, the government is advised to ensure that, through policies and other regulatory roles that rural SMEs get growing up. This can be done if these rural SMEs are enabled to solicit credits from financial facilities to expanding their businesses and making beneficial utilization of REA services. The economic outcome, through multiplier effects in employment creation and subjective economic welfare, might be tremendous.

Read the warnings and side effects, they're real. This is a drug that does work, and you'll experience great effects with weight loss and increased energy, but it's not something that could be maintained; I have yet to hear more stories about the great effects of Phentermine, and how people have kept the weight off even after going off the drug, than all the negative feedback and experiences on here. A healthy diet & exercise is the best medicine; being comfortable in your own skin, while staying active and healthy is key. Allowing a drug like this to take away your ability to do that is just not worth it for the short-lived period of weight loss. And the long-term effects of this drug could be even greater a problem than you anticipate.

The young girl managed to flee and ran towards a dog walker who raised the alarm and on arrival officers conducted an immediate search of the area – but the offender was not located
Police have issued CCTV images of a man they wish to speak to in connection with the attempted rape of a 10-year-old girl.
The victim was sexually attacked after she became separated from her friends while out in Openshaw.
As she made her way home, the girl was approached by a man who took her to wasteland near Kincraig Close and sexually assaulted her before attempting to rape her.
Police were alerted shortly after 2pm on Saturday, February 10.
The young girl managed to flee and ran towards a dog walker who raised the alarm and on arrival officers conducted an immediate search of the area – but the offender was not located.
Further enquiries have since established that a man matching the description of the offender was seen arriving at Clayton Hall tram stop at 1.33pm after traveling there on the Ashton line from Edge Lane tram stop.
He was also spotted in other locations in Openshaw that day, both before and after the incident took place.
The investigation team is keeping an open mind as to whether or not the offender may have come from a different area of Greater Manchester.
On Tuesday evening, officers released images of the man they want to speak to in connection with the attack.
Detective Chief Inspector Rebecca Boyce, of GMP’s City of Manchester Division, said: “We are continuing to do all we can to find the man responsible for this horrendous attack on an innocent young girl but we still need the public’s help.

Mombasa Governor Ali Hassan Joho is a man of means and opulence who is among the wealthiest politicians in the country. His trips out of the country have grown considerable higher given his ability to cater and pay for vacation at any location in the globe, any city and any country. However, his trips to the US have left many wondering whether they are really vacations or he is seeking medical attention from his US doctors, disguised as a tourist in the country.
Joho has been making yearly trip to the North American country only accompanied by his most trusted personnel of a personal bodyguard and a female PA. As a public official, who is out on assignments, Joho is rarely accompanied by a large delegation from Mombasa County, he is always at most with a group of five.
The dapper politician and the Deputy Leader of The ODM Party is a man of secrecy who has fiercely guarded his private life and as at now his trips abroad remains just that, a vacation. It would be an impossibility if he disclosed his health records, even if he was seeking treatment abroad.
His last trip[ to the US caused a storm after being absent for close to month, leaving Mombasa county under Dr Kingi, his deputy. It was during this time that Bamburi attacks happened, which attracted the wrath of the public who questioned Joho’s whereabouts.


Since this pandemic began and especially during the lockdown period in March, us students of Miguel de Cervantes started missing certain aspects of our school. It started with people posting funny memories of their school days on their Instagram Stories, but soon an entire page was created on this platform specifically for sharing these little day-to-day aspects that made us enjoy all those hours of learning. From recalling the funny habits of our teachers to remembering the small gestures of kindness we experienced every day, we even began missing the things that used to make us nervous.
Allow me to translate some of the memories shared in this screenshot:
“…having water fights in the school yard during the dog days of summer”
“…walking down the halls in fear of a collision with one of the speeding lower grades”
“…cheating on the multiple choice tests”
To conclude, through this page we discovered how many of the aspects of school life we had taken for granted and we also managed to stay close to each other.

INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY
On 25th November, International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, our school decided to hold a remote meeting to talk about this "phenomenon" with all the students of grade 8; all the students wore a red symbol, such as a cap, a t-shirt, a ribbon.
lasted about an hour and it was very intense and meaningful hour. Our emotions during this meeting were very strong, in each of us there was a lot of pain and sadness.
Some students had made drawings, written poems and texts to exhibit during the meeting. There was a lawyer of a local voluntary association who told us some stories on female abuse during the quarantine period; then she told her personal experience: unfortunately she herself has been mistreated for more than 10 years.
Below there are two drawings that our class made on that occasion: the first is an eye representing a woman who is undergoing mistreatment.
The second represents the male symbol that blocks the woman, depriving her of her freedom.
MONTALCINI SCHOOL AFRAGOLA ITALY
Christmas is a special time of year at our school. Teachers and pupils organize various events that are connected with Polish Christmas traditions. One of them is a big theatre performance.
Pupils present the scene of Jesus's birth. They dance and sing carols. To create a Christmas atmosphere the school is decorated with handmade decorations. It makes everybody full of joy and hope.
Finally, our favorite activity is charity. We collect toys, food, and other items. Thanks to these, everyone can feel happy during the Christmas spirit. This is how we used to celebrate Christmas, however this year we are not able to meet because of coronavirus.
Hopefully next year everything will get back to normal.

European Day of Languages
In the context of the European Day of Languages, our school organised a creative activity.
The original activity was to draw the flags of European countries on paper sheets, but due to COVID-19 the students decided to draw the flags on protective masks to make the activity more meaningful.
The message the students wanted to send is that we are all in this epidemiological crisis together.
Bottle Caps Donation
Every year our school collects bottle caps to donate to the Paraplegic Association of N. Pellas. The aim of this organisation is to aid physically disabled individuals by collecting bottle caps and transforming them into wheelchairs.
Did you know that it takes 540,000 bottle cups to buy a wheelchair?
This year our school placed separate recycle bins around the school so students could donate caps to the association.
At home but together!
There is no doubt this school year has been different. However, staying at home doesn’t mean feeling alone.
And that’s exactly what some young musicians tried to illustrate.
Students who play musical instruments performed the melody of “The Woodpecker Song” and our Music teacher put all their videos together.

A number of broadcasters kept cameras rolling as Eriksen received urgent treatment, including the BBC and RTÉ
The 29-year-old suffered a cardiac arrest in the first half of the Group B fixture in Copenhagen and was quickly attended by paramedics at the scene.
Spectators watched in horror as the footballer was given CPR and his team-mates formed a ring around him as medics pumped his chest just before half-time.
A number of stations kept cameras rolling as Eriksen received urgent treatment, including the BBC and RTÉ, many of which were criticised for exploiting the sportsman and his wife, who was filmed in a state of distress.
RTÉ have since defended their decision to continue their broadcast, with one spokesperson telling the Irish Mirror: “RTÉ at all times attempted to be sensitive, reflecting what was unfolding and keeping people informed while also cognisant of the need for sensitivity and privacy.”
Meanwhile, sports journalist and commentator Jacqui Hurley was faced with the difficult task of continuing to present her show on RTÉ following the traumatic incident.
In a tweet, Ms Hurley said: “In my 15 years of broadcasting I have never experienced a day like today & hope we never have another like it.
“Thank god Christian Eriksen is ok. Thinking of him & his family tonight and remembering just how precious life really is.”
Viewers praised the presenter for the way she handled the terrifying situation in a respectful way live on air on Saturday night.
Eriksen is currently in a stable condition and is awake in hospital where he is being examined.
“This morning we have spoken to Christian Eriksen, who has sent his greetings to his teammates,” the Danish Football Association said on Twitter.
“His condition is stable, and he continues to be hospitalized for further examination.”

Satellite Data Helps Predict Meningitis Outbreaks
Genome Research Limited | http://www.sanger.ac.uk/about/history/achievements.html
(Inside Science) -- Researchers are combining satellite and land-based data in new methods to help healthcare workers prepare for climate-related disease outbreaks.
The infectiousness of many diseases, such as those carried by insects and microbes, varies with environmental conditions. Predicting outbreaks of these diseases is difficult enough, but with global climate change shaking up the Earth in unknown ways, that task is becoming even more difficult.
Pietro Ceccato, a research scientist at the International Research Institute for Climate and Society at Columbia University in New York, said that in Africa, land-based environmental monitoring stations are few and far between -- so it's much easier to grab data from passing satellites and interpret it.
"By monitoring satellite data, we hope to forecast epidemics 1-2 months ahead of time," Ceccato said. "Eventually we'd like to integrate climate information into vulnerability for all kinds of diseases."
The group started by looking at two illnesses: malaria and meningitis. Both are related to environmental factors -- malaria is linked to high precipitation and temperatures that allow mosquitoes to thrive, while meningitis is connected to dry and dusty conditions in deserts.
Ceccato and his colleagues have built tools that provide information on when dusty conditions are likely to crop up in Africa. They integrate the data coming from satellites into Google Earth or NASA's SERVIR to help ministries of health in different countries know when and where to send their supplies of meningitis vaccine. The information is presented in an easy-to-use way, Ceccato said.
Meningitis prediction is a relatively new field, and researchers are honing their efforts in the Sahel region of Africa, which extends from Senegal to Ethiopia. This area, which is south of the Sahara desert, has the greatest incidence of the disease, said Ceccato. For reasons that aren't entirely clear, outbreaks of bacterial meningitis appear to favor the dry, dusty conditions common from November to April across this semiarid region, known as the African meningitis belt. The region's last major meningitis epidemic, in 1996, generated at least 200,000 cases of the disease and killed thousands.
Researchers believe that environmental factors may play an important role in the occurrence of the disease -- and so they turn to the skies for information. The satellite sensors can interpret the level of dust in the air based on colors, and the model builds a pattern of dust every three hours over the Sahel.
There is a meningitis vaccine, said Ceccato, but since there isn't enough of it to supply every vulnerable country, it's vital to target the regions with the highest risk. He works with public health ministries in Madagascar, Eritrea and other places to make them aware of where and when high-risk areas will pop up.
Ceccato's sentiments are echoed by other researchers working on new ways to harness earth science data to forecast disease. Rajul Pandya of the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colo., said that the newest vaccine only works against one strain of meningitis -- but that when humidity rises, the epidemics start to disappear.
"Once the humidity exceeds 40 percent, the epidemics decrease significantly," Pandya said.
Pandya and his colleagues are working on a method to create 14-day forecasts of atmospheric conditions like humidity across the meningitis belt, using a number of computer models as well as satellite data. The forecasts can detect patterns in the upper atmosphere that correlate with higher humidity and the impending start of the rainy season, which tends to advance from south to north.
Ceccato explained that satellite monitoring can also give countries a good checkup on how well they are responding to climate-related disease, by letting them know which years are dry (and so may have more meningitis) and which are wetter (and may produce more malaria-bearing mosquitoes).
"We are all going to have to adapt to climate change for health," Ceccato said.
Ceccato and his team hope to expand the effort to other data-poor regions of the globe such as Latin America and Asia, as well as expand the number of diseases they can monitor from on high.
The research was presented at this month's meeting of the American Geophysical Union.

BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (AP) Authorities said a 22-year-old Los Angeles man jumped into a fast-moving river in Central California and drowned.
A Kern County Sheriff’s official told the Bakersfield Californian (http://bit.ly/2tz1M1v ) the man and his cousins were jumping from rocks into the Kern River near Keyesville Saturday.
Sgt. Steve Williams said authorities warned the group about the raging river and they got out of the water. He said that after the authorities left, the man decided to jump back in.
He was drawn out into the main channel where the current pushed him underneath.
At least seven people have drowned in the Kern River since record snowfall from the winter began to melt, causing rivers to swell with dangerously swift and cold mountain runoff.
Keyesville is about 35 miles northwest of Bakersfield.


Stakeholder in Thistle Hotels bid talks
THISTLE Hotels has been locked in takeover talks this week with its largest investor. Any deal would be likely to value Thistle at about £500m.
Sources close to the negotiations said the two sides were talking, led by Thistle chief executive Ian Burke and Arun Amarsi, the secretive Chinese-Malay group managing director of BIL International, a Singapore-listed investment company that already owns 45.8% of Thistle.
Last week BIL issued a statement merely confirming that its own board had met 'to consider making an offer' for the remainder of Thistle 'at a modest premium' to the 98 1/2p at which Thistle shares were trading on 19 February.
Thistle has not yet confirmed whether any discussions between the two sides are actually taking place but news on progress is expected when Thistle reports full-year results on Monday.
Thistle shares are currently trading at around 111p, up from a year's low last month of 89p but considerably lower than their high last March of 151p. BIL floated the hotels group in 1996 for 170p.
City analysts are putting a net asset value on Thistle - what the company is worth if it sold off all its hotels piecemeal - of about £1bn, or 220p per share.
Amarsi is a director of Thistle, so he would have to step aside from any decision by the board about the financial merits of any BIL bid.
Another Thistle director, Malaysian tycoon Tan Sri Quek Leng Chan, also faces a conflict of interests on a BIL bid. Quek, 60, who heads Hong Leong Bank, is BIL's main financial backer with a 22% stake held through his Camerlin investment company. Quek is also chairman of BIL
Amarsi and Quek are understood to be keen to put pressure on Burke to return to shareholders between £150m and £200m out of the £300m raised from the sale last March of 37 hotels to Orb, a Jersey-listed investment company.
Thistle has a total cash pile of £364m but the two sides are divided as to its net cash position, which would show a deficit of £50m or a surplus of £110m after deducting a £260m debenture paying 10.5% interest.
Amarsi and Quek are likely to use the threat of a bid as leverage to speed up that process. Burke is expected to unveil his plans for the surplus cash together with Monday'sresults statement. The pair need only to bring on side compatriot and fellow Thistle non-executive director Lau Wing Tat to take control of Thistle. Tat is assistant director to the Government of Singapore Investment Corporation, which holds a 13.1% stake in Thistle.
Burke, meanwhile, is still chasing Orb through the courts for £15m from the sale.
Men who pull the strings
QUEK Leng Chan, 60, a former barrister, is a member of London's elite Middle Temple legal society and one of Asia's richest and most influential businessmen.
In 2001, publicity-shy Chan netted $3.75bn from the sale of Dao Heng Bank to Singapore's DBS Group. He has property investments stretching from Shanghai to London.
Burke has a classic management pedigree. A qualified accountant and an MBA, he worked for Exxon, Lever Brothers and Gateway before running Gala Bingo Halls for Bass. He then ran its hotels in Europe, the Middle East and Africa from 1995 to 1998 before becoming Thistle chief executive.

ETL40 Van Mounted Cable Fault Locating System is the most advanced system in power cable fault detection combining the best-in-market technologies into a single fully automatic centralized setup with high reliability and multi-level safety standards. The system is capable of locating faults on low & high voltage cables and pinpointing cable faults of cables with DC voltage up to 40kV.
ETL40 provides high energy of 2000 Joules at every surge level of 8/16/32 kV to enable locate & pinpoint faults on buried power cables, even at long distances or high depth.
The ETL-40 Cable Fault locating system is designed for testing & cable fault location depending on fault type and condition, using the following 5 distinct pre-locating modes:
Low Voltage Method:
- TDR Method: low-resistance faults, measuring distance to a high resistance fault, distances to joints, open cable breaks, various impedance changes characterization (cable sleeves, branches, etc.), total cable length measurement (incl. on a drum or bundle) and cable shortening ratio measurement, when fault resistance <200Ω
High Voltage Methods:
- ARC Reflection (single/multi shot)- Precise distance to fault measurement creating a flashover at the fault location. Ideal for high-resistance and unstable faults with minimal harmful effects on a cable.
- Impulse Current (ICE) - for those high-resistance faults that cannot be converted to low-resistance by burning faulty insulation.
- Decay Method- Ideal for faults with high breakdown voltage
High energy of 2000 Joules at every surge level of 8/16/32 kV assures that faults can be located on cables up to long distances easily.
ETL-40 systems are equipped as standard with a burn unit delivering up to 300 mA current at up to 1 A voltage. High-resistance cable faults may be converted to the low-resistance faults by burning faulting insulation, which allows to subsequently apply pre-location and/or pinpointing methods for precise fault localization.
The System is divided into two compartments: operator compartment (OC) and a high-voltage compartment (HC) keeping the operating person safe. Apart from this, the ETL40 is equipped with system self-health and safety monitoring- which are displayed in the centralized control unit screen along with possible resolutions. Visual indicators for Insulation resistance & leakage current present in control unit.
Optional Accessories: 50 watt low frequency surge generator which when used with a locating receiver- can trace cable routes precisely.

A treehouse makes for the ultimate safari lodge - there’s nothing quite like a giant fig tree spiralling through your suite to make you feel totally immersed in the wonder and romance of Africa. And the best part: many of these camps are semi-permanent, meaning that everything can be totally removed to leave the landscape exactly as it was before. Aesthetically, the results of this eco-friendly approach can be simply astounding – here’s our top 12 selection of the most luxurious treehouse lodges, forest suites and sleep-outs in Africa.
