Padres visit Los Angeles Dodgers in MLB clash
San Diego Padres vs Los Angeles Dodgers Odds
San Diego pays a visit to Los Angeles on Sunday, hoping to shut down the Dodgers bats in baseball action at Dodger Stadium.
The Dodgers will rely on Zack Greinke to turn in a quality outing on the mound in this one, while Tyson Ross will be his counterpart for the Padres. Zack Greinke is 13-3 this season, and Tyson Ross is 3-4.
It's a baseball betting matchup between the National League No. 2-rated Dodgers and the league No. 15-ranked Padres, according to the latest MLB power poll here at Odds Shark.
How They Match Up:
Offensively, the game matches up Los Angeles' No. 6 ranked National League offense (4.1 runs per game) against a Padres defense and pitching staff that sits at No. 14 in the National League at 4.5 runs allowed per game. The Dodgers have been averaging 9 hits per game, more than the Padres have managed so far this season (8.5 hits on average).
San Diego brings the National League's No. 14-rated defense to this matchup, facing the Dodgers' league No. 3-ranked defense.
The Padres were a 2-1 loser in their most recent outing on the road against the Dodgers. That made winners of bettors who got Los Angeles at -161 on the moneyline, while the total score (3) was good news for UNDER bettors. The Padres were saddled with a loss last time out in Andrew Cashner's start, as they lost 2-1 against Los Angeles on Saturday at Dodger Stadium.
San Diego Padres Trends:
When playing on Sunday are 4-6
Before playing San Francisco are 5-5

After a loss are 5-5
Los Angeles Dodgers Trends:
When playing on Sunday are 6-4
Before playing Colorado are 7-3

It’s hard to not feel just a little bit cheated after reading the first two dozen pages of Elena Ferrante’s new book, “Incidental Inventions.” After reading sensational Italian news articles about how a new novel, slated for release on Nov. 7, was in the works, it was an ever-so-slight let-down to receive “Incidental Inventions,” a compilation of Ferrante’s Guardian column that ran for all of 2018. The Nov. 7 release was not a fabrication, but Italian fluency is, unfortunately, a prerequisite. If you want to read it in English, you’ll have to wait until 2020.
Ferrante is an Italian novelist most famous for The Neapolitan Novels, a quadrilogy chronicling the lives of two women from childhood into adulthood. Ferrante is, however, equally famous for her anonymity and her refusal to reveal her actual name, despite the attempts of the paparazzi and the goading of those who simply don’t believe that a woman could have written such a poignant book series.
One lingering question readers of The Neapolitan Novels might have is how much of the story is autobiographical: After all, the main character’s name is Elena, after all. It’s unlikely the world will ever truly know, but after even quickly skimming one of the essays in “Incidental Inventions,” it’s clear that her fiction is undoubtedly stamped with her own voice.
This essay collection is a success, even though it isn’t fiction. Ferrante requested that her editors to ask her a question every week, to which she would respond and subsequently publish. The formula worked: Each column is its own stand-alone work, and though there is some thematic overlap, it cannot be said that she repeats herself unnecessarily.
Ferrante has an uncanny ability to remain detached from the very words she writes while managing to articulate the precise anguish of the human condition. Just like the listicles on Buzzfeed that round up the good news at the end of the week, Ferrante also finds beauty in the mundane: “I’m interested in the ordinary or, rather, what we have forced inside the uniform of the ordinary.” And, despite women’s thoughts on the pain of childbirth, she writes that “children are our body’s great, marvellous prostheses, and we will not give them literally to anyone, not to mad fathers, not to the country, not even to those machines that promise an inhumanly perfect humanity.”
Ferrante writes about the nature of being a woman, and the dangers of excess within this role: “The ‘too’ of a woman produces violent male reactions and, in addition, the enmity of other women, who every day are obliged to fight among themselves for the crumbs left by men.” Her writing is restrained and methodical, either due to the translation (not the skill of Ann Goldstein, her translator, but rather the nature of English as a more clinical language, especially compared with the emotional intensity imbued in Italian), or to her own style.
Indeed, Ferrante says in one essay that she “would like it if, on the entire planet, there were no longer any reason to shout, especially with pain. [She likes] low tones, polite enthusiasm, courteous complaints.” This discomfiting idea raises questions about whether life is complete enough without the rollercoaster of emotions that, at one point or another, threatens to overwhelm all people. Would humans be human without the peaks of joy and the valleys of melancholy? Perhaps, but to ask that reactions be subdued is to deny, on some level, one’s feeling.
Budding writers can find comfort in her thoughts on the elusive goal of originality. Put simply, new writing doesn’t exist in a vacuum and Ferrante shows that it’s okay to use an old cliché or to borrow from a favorite childhood novel. After all, “No author produces texts without debts. There are no works that make a clean break with the past, works that exclude it — no truly watershed works. Literary novelty … exists in the way each individual inhabits the magma of forms he is immersed in.”
This essay collection is subtle. Ferrante’s writing is akin to a whisper from one friend to another: It utters the truth one would rather not hear, but says it compactly and devastatingly. On jealousy, she quietly notes: “We shut the beloved up in a cage, preferring that he die spiritually and even physically—rather than expose us to the humiliating wound of his escape.”

Name: The Hunger Games
Author: Suzanne Collins
Author's website: http://www.suzannecollinsbooks.com/
Date published: 2008
Number of pages: 454
When is it available?: Now
Spoiler warning: Moderate
You are probably thinking something along the lines of "Have you really only just read this?" and the answer to that is yes, I have. The reason I have only just gotten around to reading this book when it's been around for so long that both a movie of it and a movie of the second book in the series have been made and released is because it took me a while to actually want to read it. I didn't want to read it, at first, because I thought I might not like it as it isn't the kind of thing I usually read, (before reading this, I'd never read any dystopian novels) and I was worried it might not be all it was made up to be. But then, after having been given the book as a birthday present, and after I'd seen the film, I did decide to read it and I'm glad I did.
It's a bit strange watching a film based on a book and then reading the book afterwards, I don't think I've ever done it that way round before. But I still managed to enjoy the book even though I had a rough idea of what was going to happen and I found I didn't want to stop reading it once I'd started. One thing I noticed was that the book was slightly more gory than the movie, but I think those parts of the book that were quite horrific were necessary because it showed how scary the situation was for the tributes and what they had to do to try and stay alive.
The story is such an interesting and unique idea. And it is a scary idea, especially once Katniss finds that she's still in danger even after surviving the games, but it's still fascinating and I definitely recommend you read it because it really is worth all the hype.

Robin Williams was one of the first comic performers I realized could not only do comedy, but heavy drama. Through youthful eyes I would watch Peter Pan in Hook, Aladdin emerge from a lamp and a nanny disguised as a father cover his face in cake. He would later speak a monologue about the importance of being in love, talk to Will Hunting about intelligence vs. experience and profess Carpe Diem to a bunch of English students. He gave a handful of performances that many hold dear to their hearts.

Sunday evening, November 11, 2012, Olivia de Havilland was included in the 60 Minutes story, “David McCullough’s heroes of history.” The story followed US historian, David McCullough, through Paris as he relayed stories of 19th century Americans who traveled to Paris to broaden their horizons, increase their exposure to art, music, and architecture, and achieve a higher standard of education. While in Paris, in May, 2012, David was honored at the residence of the US Ambassador. Olivia was also present for that event. In the 60 minutes clip, they cut to David standing at a microphone in the Ambassador’s Residence gleefully announcing “I just kissed Olivia de Havilland!” Then, he ran over and received a hug and kiss from Olivia, again. There are just a few seconds of McCullough and De Havilland speaking about living in Paris. He asks her how she ended up in Paris and she says, without missing a beat, “A Frenchman” and then she laughs her joyous laugh and says again “A Frenchman.” (She is referring to her second husband, Pierre Galante, the former editor of Paris Match Magazine). Olivia sums up her relationship with Paris with the following quote:
“You feel that it belongs to you. That’s what’s so magical, that it’s yours!”
David salutes Olivia with the famous classic film quote: “We’ll always have Paris.”

An unusual appearance of giant Meckel’s diverticulum
AbstractMeckel's diverticulum (MD) results from incomplete involution of the proximal portion of the vitelline duct. Although MD is the most commonly diagnosed congenital gastrointestinal anomaly, it is estimated to affect only 2% of the population worldwide. Most cases are asymptomatic, and diagnosis is often made following investigation of unexplained gastrointestinal bleeding, perforation, inflammation or obstruction that prompt clinic presentation. While MD range in size from 1-10 cm, cases of giant MD (B5 cm) are relatively rare and associated with more severe forms of the complications. Herein, we report a 43-year-old male patient presented at the Emergency Department with a complaint of abdominal pain, associated with fever (38,5C), nausea and anorexia. The clinical examination revealed pain in the right lower quadrant, as well as abdominal guarding and rebound tenderness. The leucocyte count was elevated at 18 × 109/L. Plain abdominal xray depicted multiple air-fluid levels. An abdominal and pelvic CT scan revealed a fluid-filled structure in the pelvis adjacent to the distal small bowel. The surgical method of exploration can be either by laparoscopy or through an open incision. Exploratory laparotomy was performed and revealed oedema throughout the entire small bowel, dilation of small bowel segments, and a giant Meckel's diverticulum (10 cm long) with mushroom appearance on the antimesenteric border of the small bowel at 70 cm proximal to the ileocaecal valve . Resection of the small bowel was performed with a linear stapler and an ileoileal anastomosis was generated using a 80 mm endo-GIA stapler. Patient was discharged on post-operative day 4 without any complications. Histopathologic examination indicated Meckel's diverticulitis without gastric or pancreatic metaplasia.

The Routledge Companion to Modernity, Space and Gender reframes the discussion of modernity, space and gender by examining how “modernity” has been defined in various cultural contexts of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, how this definition has been expressed spatially and architecturally, and what effect this has had on women in their everyday lives. In doing so, this volume presents theories and methods for understanding space and gender as they relate to the development of cities, urban space and individual building types (such as housing, work spaces or commercial spaces) in both the creation of and resistance to social transformations and modern global capitalism. The book contains a diverse range of case studies from the US, Europe, the UK, and Asian countries such as China and India, which bring together a multiplicity of approaches to a continuing and common issue and reinforces the need for alternatives to the existing theoretical canon.

The US Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division (NAWCWD) Renewable Energy Office is set to test its new trailer-mounted regenerative fuel cell system in a lab at China Lake, California, US, prior to field testing with troops.
NAWCWD Renewable Energy Office electronics engineer Matt Malone said that the new fuel cells can be towed to remote locations to produce energy using water and sunlight.
Designed to be deployed anywhere, the new environmentally friendly renewable energy system features recyclable fuel cell and an array of solar panels; it is capable of generating around 5,000W of electricity.
An operator will have to initially feed the system with water followed by pointing the solar arrays towards the sun to generate electricity; this is then run through the water to produce hydrogen and oxygen.
The recyclable fuel cells generate energy through electrolysis by using hydrogen in water as fuel.
Producing water and heat as a by-product, the system stores hydrogen and releases oxygen into the atmosphere, eliminating the need of diesel fuel and battery storage, as well as lowers toxic emissions into the air.
The stored hydrogen is again used at night to generate electricity, while the extra solar energy left during after powering a command centre would be put into use to create hydrogen.
"The only by-products are water, which goes into a tank for use the next day, and heat," Malone said.
Renewable Energy Office programme manager Wayne Taylor said: "Since this system only needs water to operate, one of its biggest benefits is reducing the logistics requirements associated with fuel convoys, which could save lives."

Discover how DriveSavers recovered precious photos from Kate Grinberg's failed external hard drive.
A scientist, whose discoveries helped shape the storage technology field, is the winner of the 2014 Millennium Technology Prize worth more than $1 million.
Dr. Stuart Parkin was recognized last week by Technology Academy Finland for developing the spin-valve read head, an essential component in the development of larger capacity hard drives over the last 25 years.
Parkin is a research fellow, manager of IBM’s Magnetoelectronics group in California and a consulting professor at Stanford University.
“Who would have known that my invention would one day sit at the heart of today’s cloud, social media and data analytics applications, and affect the way people share information and communicate with each other on the Internet, on our mobile devices and across the world,” Parkin said.
In a hard drive, the read and write heads are mounted on an armature that moves over the surface of the spinning hard disks. The heads pick up and put down bits of data that are stored electromagnetically on the surface of the disks.
The spin-valve read head, developed by Parkin in 1989, is more sensitive than its predecessors and allows for data to be stored at higher densities, greatly increasing the capacity of multiple generations of hard drives over the decades.

Vytautas Kiminius took a “racing line” at speed through a corner in a Range Rover Sport and ploughed into a Ford Fiesta driven by Rachel Radwell. The 46-year-old died from injuries she suffered in the earlyhours crash near Peterborough in November 2018.
Kiminius, 35, admitted driving while uninsured when his trial opened in February and was convicted of causing death by dangerous driving, before being released on bail.
It is thought he then fled the country, said Cambridgeshire Police. This can now be revealed following the lifting of restrictions.
After he went on the run, Kiminius was jailed for four years and six months at Peterborough Crown Court.
Rachel’s devastated parents said in a statement: “We are very disappointed to hear that Kiminius has absconded and has not gone to prison to serve his sentence following the death of our daughter.
“We still miss Rachel every day and probably never will come to terms with what has happened and this only makes it worse to bear.”
Sgt Mark Dollard said: “He was bailed to reappear for sentencing, with conditions including surrender of travel documents and electronic tagging. A European arrest warrant has been issued.”

- Who We Are
- Contact Us
We are dedicated to helping residents in Blenheim improve their hearing loss. You can access our hearing test online or you are welcome to schedule an in person hearing test to take place at one of our locations by phoning 519.352.1601.
Hearing loss is organized into three main categories:
Conductive hearing loss is defined by a disruption in the ear, impacting the sound’s path moving from the outer/middle ear to the inner ear. We often see this type of hearing loss triggered by a blockage within the ear canal such as ear wax or liquid, which keeps sound from fully reaching the ear drum. Our state of the art hearing clinics offer treatment for conductive hearing loss to residents of Blenheim, including surgical treatments, medical treatments, and ear wax removal.
Sensorineural hearing loss (or sensorineural deafness) is the type of hearing loss most often diagnosed. Making sounds difficult or unclear, sensorineural hearing loss often causes voices to distort in conversation, or makes it sound like others are mumbling. Often caused by the natural aging process or excessive exposure to noise, sensorineural hearing loss can cause disruptions to your daily life. With this type of hearing loss, it can often be treated with the use of hearing aids, able to be selected and installed at our expert hearing clinics found near the Blenheim area.
Whether you’re experiencing the loss of sound frequencies, for example high or low frequency sounds, or you find your hearing loss is impacting just one ear, we are here to assist you with your hearing loss, take the first step by booking a hearing test.
On hand to deliver your hearing test, our hearing care technicians are experts in evaluating the results, providing you with a detailed analysis and treatment options for your hearing loss.
If you live in the Blenheim area, let us help! – call 519.352.1601 to book an in-person hearing test or schedule your hearing test online.

Are Roth Accounts Better for Your Estate?
Estate planning gets complex sometimes. Clients often ask about the benefits of converting a traditional IRA into a Roth IRA. And there are benefits. So, maybe we should consider them.
Leaving Roth money in an estate has 4 basic benefits.
• Effect on Probate
• Spouses have no Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) amount.
• Non-spouse beneficiaries receive income tax-free.
• All growth is tax-free.
Effect on Probate
Both Traditional and Roth IRAs avoids probate because you can name an individual or Trust as a beneficiary. Conversion allows you to reduce the amount added to your estate tax calculation by the taxes you pay while providing your descendants with a tax-free asset with more value.
Spouses have no Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) amount.
A spousal transfer allows a spouse to treat the Roth account as their own, upon inheritance. They follow the same distribution rules as the original account holder. Non-spouse beneficiaries do need to withdraw a minimum annual amount.
Non-spouse beneficiaries receive income tax-free.
Money from a Roth IRA transfers directly to the beneficiaries. The non-spouse beneficiary will eventually have to take Required Minimum Distributions. They can postpone distributions until the original owner would have turned 70 ½, or December 31 of the year following death. They receive the funds, just like the original account holder would have, all income-tax-free. You must hold your Roth Account for more than 5 years before the transfer to qualify for this income-tax-free status.
All growth is tax-free.
The Roth IRA, as compared to a traditional IRA, allows for tax-free growth. That’s because earnings aren’t included in the owner's income. Instead, growth earnings accumulate on a tax-deferred basis and often are withdrawn tax-free, too.
Roth IRAs can be an extraordinary way to leave a legacy to your heirs with the proper estate planning.

I was lucky enough to be accepted on the artist diploma program at NEC (New England Conservatory) in 2015 and about two months into the program I heard that NEC was in the process of acquiring the ‘Joachim, Ma’ Stradivari. It was owned by the family of a former student back in the 1950s, Si-Hon Ma, who kept it as his prized possession until his death in 2009. He said that he wanted it to go to NEC for use, but at that point it was in a museum in Cremona and there was a long process before it was finally gifted to the school last April – that’s when I got use of it.
I’ve had friends who play Strads and Guarneris and I’d played a few notes on them here and there, but this is the first really fine instrument that I’ve been lucky enough to play for an extended period of time. There’s something very special about it. I don’t know whether it’s just this instrument or all Strads in general, but it has a huge depth of sound – it just keeps going when you hit the strings.
It’s definitely been a challenge to learn how to play it. I own a Peter Greiner and there’s a night and day difference between the two violins. The Greiner is incredibly responsive; you can use a very fast bow and the sound just goes out into the hall with ease, whereas with the Strad you have to coax out the sound that you want. But with the Strad you can create basically any sound you imagine, so that’s been the real pleasure in getting to know this instrument – the possibilities are just incredible.
Before I got the Strad I was perfectly happy with my Greiner, but exploring how to create sound in a different way has really opened up my playing – it’s changed my perception of creating sound and even how I think about music. It’s just so different from any violin I’ve ever played. I’ve been playing the Greiner and the Strad back to back in the last couple of months. On the Strad you approach the string with the bow in a particular way, but if you do that on the Greiner it produces a different sound from what I’m used to on that instrument, so there is some great cross-pollination between the two.
For me, the most surprising thing about this instrument was its darkness tonally because I’ve heard so often that Strads are brilliant and incredibly cutting – warm, but not necessarily dark. So it has been really surprising in a nice way because I love that sort of darkness in an instrument. Again it’s night and day from the Greiner, which is all light and silvery sounds. It’s been such an interesting comparison to make.

JEFFERSON CITY - Gov. Jay Nixon presented Missouri lawmakers in his State of the State address a broad set of recommendations to address issues raised by issues raised by Ferguson.
"The legacy of Ferguson will be determined by what we do next, to foster healing and hope and the changes we make to strengthen all of our communities", Nixon told a joint session of the legislature Wednesday night, January 21.Cheers of "right, that's right!" could be heard in the House chamber as Nixon talked about Ferguson.
While Nixon's proposals addressed issues raised by various sides, his address came under attack from opposing sides.
Gov. Jay Nixon called for changes in police use of force and strengthening communities across the state. But two black lawmakers said Nixon's plan did not go far enough and a Republican legislative leader voiced concerns about using police as an "escape goat."
Nixon proposed a number of changes:
Nixon, who addressed a majority white audience in the Missouri House of Representatives, spoke of the importance of fostering trust in Ferguson.
"I don't think we can make law enforcement a scapegoat in this," said House Speaker John Deihl, R-St. Louis County. "That men and women, who government policies and government officials put on the front lines to do the job, should and deserve all the tools to protect themselves and do their jobs."
On the other side, two state senators who represent communities in the St. Louis area described the governor's proposals as all talk and no substance.
"You know what, the governor talks from both sides of his mouth," said Sen. Jamilah Nasheed, D-St. Louis City. "He talks the talk but he doesn't walk the walk."
Maria Chapelle-Nadal, D-St. Louis County, called Nixon's proposals to address police powers in using lethal force "right on," but she talked about the need for mental health reform for Ferguson protesters.
"Until we deal with mental health issues surrounding human disasters, we're not going to fully address the issues that surround Ferguson," Chapelle-Nadal said.
The governor also stressed the importance of creating economic opportunities and encouraging personal responsibility in Ferguson. He received a stating ovation when he said how proud he was of Missouri's law enforcement officers.
Nasheed said she was unimpressed with Nixon's comments.

Donkeys Matter: The story behind the garden
Discover why donkeys are the unlikely stars of the Chelsea Flower Show in 2019
From Shrek’s partner in crime to Winnie the Pooh’s downcast friend, donkeys play a big part in our culture as loveable characters. To many of us in the UK, our interaction with donkeys may come from visiting The Donkey Sanctuary at one of their six locations around the country or possibly owning one as a pet.
But, for many of the 44 million donkeys around the world, this couldn’t be further from reality. This year an Artisan Garden, sponsored by The Donkey Sanctuary, will demonstrate how owning a donkey means access to clean, fresh water for some of the poorest and most vulnerable communities in the world.
A garden inspired by equines
The garden, designed by Annie Prebensen and Christina Williams, comes as The Donkey Sanctuary celebrates its 50th birthday in 2019. Over the last five decades, the charity has grown from a charity rescuing UK donkeys from neglect and abuse to an international welfare organisation transforming the lives of millions of donkeys and mules, and the people who depend on them for a living.
“We received a very generous donation from one of our supporters and it was their idea for us to have a garden at Chelsea,” says Dawn Vincent, Head of Communications at The Donkey Sanctuary. “It’s not something we’ve done before, but we’re really excited.”
The garden, called The Donkey Sanctuary: Donkeys Matter, will depict the environments where donkeys work collecting water for whole communities. A donkey will often collect 40-60 litres of water at one time. The simple act of a donkey carrying water reduces the time required to access it, freeing children to get an education and women to be economically active.
“I went on a trip to Ethiopia and this personal experience has been a big point of inspiration for the garden,” explains Dawn. “I was in a remote village where the watering point was about 5km away. People would walk their donkeys to the water to help them carry it back to the village.”
This story is common throughout the world in many of the countries that The Donkey Sanctuary works in, including Ethiopia, Kenya, Somaliland and beyond. After hearing Dawn’s experience, it wasn’t too long before designers Annie and Christina came up with a plan for their Chelsea garden.
“A donkey can often be the difference between access to clean water and not,” explains Annie. “We wanted to show this in the garden and are planning to have a path that leads from a well, representing the path that donkeys provide to clean water.”
As the path progresses throughout the garden, the landscape gradually becomes drier, higher and more arid.
“We want the top of the garden to reflect the landscapes where cars can’t reach, but donkeys can,” explains Annie. “The planting gradually becomes sparser as the height of the garden increases. It’s also very topical, given the changing weather conditions, as the plants we include in the garden could be grown in the UK as it gets drier.”
Why help donkeys?
It’s hoped that the garden will help to raise awareness of the plight facing donkeys today.
“Donkeys are up against a multitude of problems,” explains Dawn. “In the UK, we work to rescue neglected donkeys and support owners that are struggling to care for their animals.
“Abroad, people rely on donkey power for work, food and water and getting to places where vehicles can’t – they’re literally the white van of the world. Donkeys aren’t just pets or the comical, stubborn creatures they’re painted to be – they’re really hard working and very important.”
The Donkey Sanctuary supports owners by teaching them the best practices for caring for their animals to ensure they can continue to thrive and support their families.
“We’re working our socks off to help donkeys,” says Dawn. “But we can’t do it alone. We rely so much on our supporters. Chelsea is going to give us a platform to talk about the work that we do to a different audience who might not necessarily know what we do.”
“I really hope that the garden makes people stop and pause,” adds Annie. “Donkeys are close to both mine and Christina's hearts. We were both involved with donkeys as children - I had one called Eeyore.
"They're really very important animals and I hope the garden makes people think. Because, really, who doesn’t love a donkey?”

Net profit up 13%
> Solid results in a year marked by political and economic uncertainties and high volatility in financial markets.
> Consolidated net profit of CHF 63 million, up 13% on the 2015 level, with a proposed dividend of CHF 67.5 million.
> Assets under management of CHF 118.1 billion, up 2.9%, driven by CHF 1.7 billion of net new cash in the Bank's main markets (Western Europe, Eastern Europe and Asia).
> Robust financial situation with a capital ratio of 25.7%, well above the 12% legal minimum, representing surplus shareholders' equity of nearly CHF 580 million.
> Implementation of a new phase in the Group's strategy designed to reinforce its focus, its uniqueness and the integration of its businesses lines.
In 2016 Edmond de Rothschild (Suisse) S.A. saw its client funds grow by nearly CHF 1.7 billion. At 31 December 2016 assets under management stood at CHF 118.1 billion (CHF 114.8 billion at end-2015), an all-time high.
Consolidated earnings came to CHF 655.4 million, up nearly 3%. This fine showing was due in particular to the integration of the Group’s Israeli business, the good performance of asset-liability management and our successful partnerships, particularly in Asset Management. The growth of assets under management in our core markets enabled the Group to limit the pressure on margins, especially on asset-related fees.
Costs rose 4.1% to CHF 535 million, mainly owing to the integration of Edmond de Rothschild (Israel) and the investment being made for the Group's development.
Gross profit was stable at CHF 120 million (compared with CHF 123.8 million at end-2015, a 2.7% decrease). Consolidated net profit rose 13% to CHF 63 million (up from CHF 56 million at end-2015).
SOLID FINANCIAL SITUATION
The balance sheet of Edmond de Rothschild (Suisse) S.A. remained solid and liquid. This, combined with conservative risk management, resulted in a consolidated capital ratio of 25.7% at end-December 2016, well above the 12% legal minimum. Surplus shareholders' equity amounted to almost CHF 580 million.
NEW STRATEGIC PHASE
2016 was marked by the deployment of a new stage in the Edmond de Rothschild Group's strategy designed to strengthen our position as a conviction-driven investment house. There are three pillars to this strategy:
- Focusing efforts and investments to better serve clients in strategic markets. For this purpose Edmond de Rothschild (Suisse) SA decided to sell its Nassau subsidiary in 2016 and reconfigure its operations in Hong Kong and the UK.
- Investing in new expertise to enhance the range of the Group’s products, solutions and know-how. Edmond de Rothschild offers its clients high-value-added services and investment proposals. In particular, the Group has continued to expand its Private Equity division, one of its flagship businesses, by launching new generations of funds on existing themes and by facilitating private clients' access to this asset class. The assets under management of the Group’s infrastructure expertise last year topped a billion euros. Our real-estate expertise was once again rewarded, most notably by Thomson Reuters Lipper, which rated the real-estate SICAV ERRES as the best Swiss property fund. This unique range of products provides clients with access to long-term investment solutions that are rooted in the real economy.
- Better integrating all our expertise by bringing Private Banking and Asset Management closer together. Improved collaboration between our various business lines – Private Banking, Asset Management, Corporate Finance, Private Equity and Institutional & Fund Services – enables the Group to take full advantage of its combined strengths and offer innovative investment solutions to private and institutional clients.

Ysbyty Cwm Rhondda Minor Injuries Unit NEWS!
We are delighted that we have finally had confirmation from the Cwm Taf Health Board that the Minor Injuries service will be commencing in the Rhondda on Monday 13th May, 2012.
The Health Board have changed the way they operate the service. Patients will no longer simply walk into the Minor Injuries Unit, there will be a dedicated telephone number to call for ‘telephone triage’, in an ‘exciting development’ called ‘Phone First!’ Patients will call, describe their symptoms, and be directed to the most appropriate centre for treatment. This could be the Minor Injuries Unit, their GP, A&E, NHS Direct or a pharmacist, depending on need.
The scheme will be evaluated after 6 months, and if deemed successful, will be rolled out elsewhere in the Health Board region. Therefore, if patients feel that it isn’t working, it is VITAL that this is fedback to the health board. This can be done through public meetings, letters, emails etc.
Plaid Cymru in Rhondda will be closely monitoring the situation and will be making sure that the evaluation process takes into account all aspects of the service.

People’s Bank of China (PBoC) has indicated that it will consider renewing its swap arrangement with the CBSL in 2024 for another three years if there is no significant situation change, the IMF Staff Report highlighted.
However, the PBOC swap ($1.4bn in 2022) will become usable once Gross international reserves (GIR) rise above 3 months of the previous year’s import cover.
The GIR stood at about $1.9 billion (about 1 month of prospective imports) at end-December 2022, including currently unusable $1.4 billion worth of yuan deposits at the PBOC.
GIR, historically supported by extensive external government borrowing, declined from 62 percent of the Fund’s Assessing Reserve Adequacy (ARA) metric at end-2019 to 25 percent at end-2021 and 16 percent at end-December 2022, much below the recommended adequacy range of 100-150 percent.
Excluding the temporarily unusable assets related to the PBOC swap, usable GIR in 2022 are estimated at 4 percent of the ARA metric, the report further showed.

We are delighted to announce that we have joined the Inequalities in Health Alliance (IHA). The IHA is a coalition, and we are pleased to stand alongside dozens of other not-for-profit organisations working in health, social care and beyond as we collectively campaign for a cross-government strategy to reduce health inequalities.
The IHA believes that the needs of vulnerable people must always be considered when making policy, and that the potential impact of policies on the poorest in society should be weighed up before final decisions are made in Westminster and Whitehall. We wholeheartedly agree with this approach and think it has particular relevance to our work, as many vulnerable people may find themselves at particular risk of malnutrition or struggling to access the most appropriate and timely nutritional care.
We look forward to working together with our IHA colleagues to continue to raise awareness of health inequalities and to call for change where it is needed.

Stability Analysis of Non-Viscous Granular Media Seepage Failure Based on Particle Method
This paper reviews the development and discusses the fundamental theory of particle method. According to different Cu value’s grain size curves, three numerical models have been settled by using implicit solver embedded software-PFC which is based on DEM for fluid-structure interaction calculation. In order to get the criteria of seepage failure in granule system, the real-time force chain and flow vector under different hydraulic gradient have been recorded. Process shows that particles move when hydraulic gradient rises but the granule system’s failure would not happen unless an enough high hydraulic gradient value is reached. The result points out that difference between unstable granule system under seepage and the stable granule system under seepage, whose force-chain and flow vector is stable and process convergence can also be got after several time-steps calculation is made, can be the proof whether the granule system fails or not.

MIT researchers have created the first fiber with digital capabilities, able to sense, store, analyze, and infer activity after being sewn into a shirt.
The new fiber was created by placing hundreds of square silicon microscale digital chips into a preform that was then used to create a polymer fiber. By precisely controlling the polymer flow, the researchers were able to create a fiber with a continuous electrical connection between the chips over a length of tens of meters.
The fiber also takes a few steps forward into artificial intelligence by including, within the fiber memory, a neural network of 1,650 connections. After sewing it around the armpit of a shirt, the researchers used the fiber to collect 270 minutes of surface body temperature data from a person wearing the shirt and analyze how these data corresponded to different physical activities. Trained on these data, the fiber was able to determine with 96 percent accuracy what activity the person wearing it was engaged in.

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- Yu Darvish lost both his World Series starts to the Astros, giving up nine runs (eight earned) in 3 1/3 innings.
Sports Illustrated's Tom Verducci wrote yesterday that Darvish was tipping his pitches.
"According to a Houston player, the Astros often knew what Darvish was about to throw by the way he brought the ball into his glove in the set position. (Darvish pitches exclusively out of the stretch.) The player said it worked like this: Darvish holds the ball at his side when he gets the sign from the catcher. Whether he re-grips or not as he brings the ball into his glove was the tip-off whether he was going to throw a slider/cutter or a fastball."
Red Sox manager Alex Cora -- who served as Astros bench coach this past season -- smirked when asked about Verducci's report here at the Winter Meetings.
Cora then simply replied, "I read it this morning. I don't know. I don't know. The Astros were good. They were good."
According to former major leaguer and WEEI host Lou Merloni, Cora is good at recognizing pitchers tipping:

I just read your entire story today and i loved it. Jason characterization was spot on. One thing that surprised me in the end was that he didn't shove a copy of the disc in the heroes faces. To show them what would happen to the sidekicks if the heroes rouges did what Joker did to him. I also applaud you for not only including Under the Red Hood & but also a tidbit of Return of the Joker. If you decide to make a sequel to this, I will definitely want to read it.

Despite a publisher’s misfire back in January, Better than a Cure, the remarkable story of Ramesh Ferris’ Cycle to Walk trip across Canada in 2008 is now on shelves in the Yukon, as well as available from online sellers Chapters/Indigo and Amazon.ca.
Just this week the book was officially launched in Whitehorse on April 12, the same day that Ferris started his original journey in 2008. There was a lot of symbolism tied up in that date, which is why co- authors Ferris and Firth fought so hard to maintain it.
As they note in the book:
“April 12 wasn’t a random pick.
“It was that day in 1980 that Terry Fox dipped his artificial leg in the Atlantic Ocean, at Cape Spear, Newfoundland, which was to be our end point, and started his cross-country run for cancer. I wanted to honor his memory.
“Franklin Roosevelt died on April 12, 1945.
“And April 12, 1955, was the day that Jonas Salk announced a vaccine had been discovered and tested that gave us better than a cure for Polio – it gave us a prevention.”
The idea that prevention is better than a cure is repeated time after time in this book, in which the authors emphasize that there is no need for anyone, anywhere, to ever get polio. A simple vaccine holds the disease at bay.
Ferris, who was born in India, caught the disease because the vaccine was not available to him when he was an infant. Placed for adoption by his birth mother, who had been abandoned by his father, and who could not begin to give him the care he needed, Ramesh was adopted and brought to Canada by the Ferris family in 1982, and was raised in Whitehorse during Ron Ferris’ tenure as Anglican Bishop of the Yukon. He completed high school in Sault St. Marie after the Ferris family moved there, but returned to Whitehorse as a young man after graduating from college in Thunder Bay.
It was in that same year, 2001, that his father presented him with the documentation that enabled him to track down and visit his birth mother in India in 2002. It was during that visit to Coimbatore, where he saw polio victims far less fortunate than himself, that the seeds of discontent which gave rise to his cross-Canada hand cycle trip first took root. It was there, indeed, that he saw his first hand cycle.
In much of the world, a world without forearm crutches, braces, wheelchairs and the level of medical care available in Canada, Ferris realized that he would have had a much different quality of life, perhaps have been doomed to be a “crawler”, a person who must drag useless legs behind him in the dust while hitching forward with hands and arms.
“I saw people sitting on the ground with skinny legs curled or twisted up underneath them. I saw one or two who were crawling with cut up tire pieces on their knees and wearing sandals like gloves on their hands.”
These sights caused him to become dissatisfied with the life he was living in the Yukon, and started him thinking about what he might do to raise money for research and, more importantly, to raise the profile of a disease that is almost invisible in Canada, but could easily make a comeback if people become lax about or resistant to the ounce of prevention that is worth tonnes of cure - the simple vaccination.
Much of this book is the story of how Ferris recruited a support group and the assistance of the local Rotary Club, as well as a province by province account of his trip across Canada, but the authors have also provided some necessary background on the disease itself and the history of the attempts to battle it.
There’s no cure for Poliomyelitis, but the vaccination provides almost total immunity. The chances of suffering any sort of negative reaction to the vaccines is miniscule compared to the absolute risk an unvaccinated person runs if he or she comes into contact with a carrier of the virus.
Still, there are places in the world where the vaccine is resisted, and places where it is claimed, as it was with the H1N1 vaccine last year, that the medicine is part of a capitalist/western plot to poison the rest of the world or certain racial groups. Additionally, the campaign to eradicate the disease has been so successful in most Western nations that many people believe it is gone and therefore don’t worry about continuing their immunization treatments. This could be a recipe for a disastrous resurgence of the disease.
Ferris found that he was not the only person out there trying to raise awareness for something as he travelled across the country. In the book he notes that “there must be 40 or 50 cross-country fund raising campaigns going on in Canada every summer.” Some even have similar names. In Winnipeg, for instance, Cycle to Walk met Cycle to Work, an environmental awareness campaign. There was also Wheel to Walk, a wheelchair based journey.
After he had finished his trek, Ferris had the opportunity, sponsored by Rotary International, to return to India and participate in an immunization drive there. His second trip effected him even more than his first and confirmed his sense of urgency about his mission.
“If you know you haven’t received the vaccine and you are even remotely questioning its value, I wish you could see what I saw in India! A young man covered with dirt. He had small, shriveled legs and he crawled on the ground. That is his life. It could have mine.”
Unless the drive to eradicate the disease continues it could make a comeback; this is something which Ferris very much wants people to be aware of. The manner in which H1N1 (or Swine Flu) spread world wide from its origin point in Mexico last year provides a stark illustration of what globalization means when it comes to viruses and diseases. Ferris is now the chair of the Whitehorse Rotary Club’s PolioPlus committee, seeking to revive a program which was begun in 1985, but which has lost its head of steam over the last 25 years.
The publication of this book is part of his effort to turn that around.

In general boilers are on all the time, so that you have warm water day and night with the help of a timer, you decide when the water is to be heated, for instance only at night. They heat up the hot water cylinder that is fed by the water tank sitting in the attic the tank also has a way of topping up the system to make up for the water that is lost due to evaporation and what’s more important – it keeps the system safe by allowing water to expand in case the system heats up too much. The first, and most common type, is the gas combination boiler (aka the 'combi') unlike boilers of old, a combi runs both your central heating and your hot water from one unit. Caustic soda has an exothermic reaction when combined with water, meaning it heats and produces a “fizz”– which might just clear your blockage.

BBC director-general Lord Hall has said the corporation needs to adapt its news coverage “to meet the changing expectations of audiences across the UK”.
Unveiling a raft of plans for the organisation’s future yesterday, he also said there are “some very difficult choices ahead” and some services will have to close.
Giving his first of a four-part response to the UK government’s review of its royal charter, he promised an “open BBC” that collaborates with rival media and the public, and serves as a “catalyst for this country’s incredible talent”.
In a speech in London, Lord Hall said: “As the pace of devolution quickens, we will need to adapt our services on television, online and radio to ensure that they fully reflect or are able to report the increasingly divergent politics of the UK.
“We will never give up our role in reporting the whole of the UK back to itself, but we also have to recognise that news in some parts of the country simply does not apply in others.
“We want to look at how, within existing resources, we might better configure the BBC’s news offering across the UK and, by the way, how across the range of our services more broadly, we reflect the nations of the UK to the whole UK.”
Among the plans unveiled yesterday were that each nation will be represented on a “pan-UK network service” with an interactive digital “channel” for each of the UK nations and a broader range of programmes and entertainment.
Lord Hall said Chancellor George Osborne’s July Budget had left the BBC with difficult decisions, including the reduction and closure of some services.
In a settlement reached ahead of the Budget, the corporation agreed to help finance spending cuts by shouldering the cost of free television licences for people aged over 75.
It will cost the BBC an estimated £750 million by 2020 – almost a fifth of its current annual income.
Lord Hall said that it meant the BBC would have to save 20 per cent of its income over the next five years, at a time when its share of TV revenues was likely to fall.
“The BBC faces a very tough financial challenge. So we will have to manage our resources ever more carefully and prioritise what we believe the BBC should offer,” he said.
“We will inevitably have to either close or reduce some services.”
But he failed to specify where the cuts would be made, adding that he may not have the answers until Christmas.
The director-general said that the internet had made it easier to find information but harder to know whether to trust it.
Describing what the “open BBC” would look like, he acknowledged that the mobile service it provided would need to be developed.
Lord Hall announced: “In the future, the BBC would set aside licence fee funding to invest in a service that reports on councils, courts and public services.”
The BBC’s proposal says the aim is to put in place a network of 100 public service reporters across the country.
Reporting would be available to the BBC but also to all “reputable” news organisations.

Fishing in Vermont
Who is fishing in VT? Are you fishing year round? Do you fish on the small lakes and ponds, Lake Champlain, or both? Who comes to Vermont to fish?
I like to fish during the warm(ish) months. Ice-out until Autumn I like to go fishing. I have a small boat, so I like to go out fishing for perch, sunfish, crappie, and bluegill. I take my boat on both Lake Champlain and the smaller ponds and lakes. When I can, I go out lake trout and salmon fishing on Lake Champlain with my friend or my uncle. I want to try ice fishing, but have not done it yet.
