Construction work on the TAP (Trans Adriatic Pipeline) project, the largest foreign investment to be made in Greece over the past few years, valued at over 1.5 billion euros, is expected to begin next April, consortium officials believe.
Private capital is being provided by the TAP consortium’s six energy giants for the pipeline project’s construction, to supply Azeri natural gas through northern Greece, Albania, and across the Adriatic Sea to Italy, linking the country’s gas infrastructure with central Europe.
BP, Azerbaijan’s Socar, and Norway’s Statoil each hold 20 percent stakes in the consortium, Belgium’s Fluxys is represented with a 19 percent share, Spain’s Enagas has 16 percent, and Swiss company Axpo holds a five percent stake.
Tenders for the project’s construction and supply of pipelines are currently in progress. German steel and technology group Mannesmann has already secured one of the project’s local contracts.
Greek construction and industrial groups that have submitted bids are optimistic of securing contracts, believing they have submitted extremely competitive offers. Participating local pipeline producers, such as Corinth Pipeworks, hold a considerable advantage over foreign competitors for the TAP project’s supply of pipelines as a result of their geographical proximity and the significantly lower transportation costs entailed.
Certain regional licensing issues still need to be resolved before the TAP consortium is given the green light for construction work to begin. Even so, all sides involved in the project, including Greece’s energy ministry, expect the ongoing negotiations will conclude favorably and allow work to commence.
Meanwhile, the region’s rival pipeline project being promoted by Russia to cover southeast Europe, dubbed “Turkish Stream”, has run into problems as a result of objections raised by Turkey over the project’s Turkish segment, whose capacity and natural gas amounts to be carried have already been downsized. A next round of talks between Russian and Turkish officials, now at a standstill, are expected early in 2016.
The US Energy Information Administration (EIA) recently characterized the project’s prospects as uncertain, despite a political agreement already reached between Russia and Turkey, whose intentions for the project are currently unclear. The US, aiming to lessen Europe’s dependence on Russian natural gas, has not embraced the “Turkish Stream” proposal. The EU appears to have hesitantly backed the US position.

Hyderabad: Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (MIM) MLA Akbaruddin Owaisi, facing multiple cases for his alleged hate speech, was today arrested by Andhra Pradesh Police.
Owaisi, who was subjected to medical examination at the Gandhi Hospital here for his fitness status, is expected to be taken to Nirmal town in Adilabad district, where a case was registered against him for the alleged provocative speech.
He arrived from London yesterday and had sought four days to appear before the police on medical grounds. He was also booked under relevant sections of IPC by Nizamabad and Osmania University police here for the alleged hate speeches.
As he failed to appear before Nirmal Police on health grounds yesterday, investigating officer of Nirmal (Rural) A Raghu visited Owaisi's house in Banjara Hills here last evening and found that he looked fit to face questioning,police sources said.
However, Owaisi complained of internal pain and hence was subjected to medical examination by government doctors at Gandhi Hospital today. After getting the medical report, police decided on his arrest, they said.
It was still not clear whether he would be produced before a magistrate in Hyderabad or taken to Nirmal town. Police was tight-lipped about the future course of action as they fear it may create law and order problem.
As the news of his arrest spread, hundreds of MIM workers and his supporters gathered in front of Gandhi Hospital. Police had a tough time in controlling the protesters and preventing them from gatecrashing into the hospital.
Police have already intensified security arrangements in the city, particularly in Old City -- a stronghold of MIM -- by deploying additional forces as a precautionary measure.

Appropos of Nothing
Matt Mullenweg posted on Twitter on August 21st that updates to the WordPress mobile app have “been absent” because “we were locked by App Store.” The reason: Apple wanted in-app purchases to be available, although the app itself does not sell anything. 🤷
Matt told The Verge and commented on Twitter that he “wasn’t going to fight it anymore” and would add brand-new in-app purchases for WordPress.com’s paid tiers, which include domain names, within 30 days.
Fast forward to the next day, and Apple was backing off. The company provided a rare on-the-record apology. Here’s Apple’s full statement:
We believe the issue with the WordPress app has been resolved. Since the developer removed the display of their service payment options from the app, it is now a free stand-alone app and does not have to offer in-app purchases. We have informed the developer and apologize for any confusion that we have caused.
Apparently, this was news to Matt who posted his surprise on Twitter:
I am very grateful that folks at Apple re-reviewed @WordPressiOS and have let us know we do not need to implement in-app purchases to be able to continue to update the app. Bad news travels faster than good, usually, so please consider sharing that they reversed course.
There have been some other conversations asking if in-app purchases were intended all along or if very recent changes to the mobile codebase sparked confusion on Apple’s part.
It was a brief yet wild ride… and it comes at a bad time for Apple as they are dealing with potential investigations into anti-trust violations and activity regarding their mobile app store along with legal action from Epic Games. ⚖

The weather in Spain has quickly dropped in temperature, especially during the evenings, so I’m finding myself staring at my closet and trying different ways to layer up instead of going for my jackets as first instinct. The cooler weather is quickly ushering in creative ways for you and I to keep warm and one “hot” item this season is the cape. From cape blazers to oversized scarves as ponchos, it was all over the runways for Fall 2014 and all over my mind at the moment.
The most eye-catching poncho at the moment is definitely the Custom Burberry Poncho. While we all wish this poncho was on our shoulders reading our initials, It’s already been spotted on Olivia Palermo, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Cara Delevingne. (Lucky babes)
But don’t fret my loves, I’ve found the almost perfect alternative via the online boutique Choies. And if you’re looking to take this steal to the next level, I would suggest a mini DIY project and have your initials embroidered onto the poncho – score!
I love how this poncho was paired on the runway – A prairie like dress with tons of movement, booties and a structured bag.

New York has a lot of history, and the most interesting part of it is its renovation and innovation!
A good example of this is the recent project for the old Piers in Brooklyn, the Brooklyn Bridge Park. This post-industrial waterfront site stretches 1.3 miles along Brooklyn’s East River edge. The long and narrow site spans from Jay Street (in the north) to Pier 6 and Atlantic Avenue (in the south), connecting with the piers.
The park, designed by Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates, Inc., includes Piers 1-6, Empire Fulton Ferry, John Street, and Main Street. Also, two historic properties, the Civil War-era Empire Stores and the Tobacco Warehouse, have been integrated into the park.
The park provides green space for active and passive uses including playing fields, sports courts, playgrounds, lawns, a roller rink, a greenway and boat launches for non-motorized vessels.
The area also has a diverse calendar, full of activities, including concerts and movie’s nights during the Summer.
The Park can be a good plan for a sunny weekend afternoon or to bring your tourists friend and Family!
After crossing the Brooklyn bridge, you can rent a city bike and ride along the piers or just walk through the park while enjoying Manhattan’s landscape. After the walk, you can have a delicious pizza at Fornino and then take the Ferry from Pier 6 back to Wall Street.
It’s a nice plan; I ensure you!

QUESTION: Well Marty, I am actually baffled at what is happening in the United States. First, the demonstrations, the recount, the campaign to derail the electoral college vote, the continuous blaming of Russia, the fake news furore et al… Is this the end of the United States as we know it? Are Obama, Clinton and co realise that they are actually destroying their country… Is this the type of democratic model successive administrations have been exporting in Afghanistan, Irak, Libya..and now Syria. This ongoing nonsense is so disgraceful and disrespectful to people who voted for Trump.
ANSWER: This is all about losing power. They even solicited the CIA to try to create a coup to overthrow the election. This is Marxism in the raw. Historically, the left is by far the most dangerous group. These are the people who would have no problem killing opponents because they see themselves as righteous in their madness.
The sad part is how many people voted for Hillary, showing their complete stupidity. How could they even dare to think Hillary was not corrupt and cared about them? All you had to do was follow the money. All the establishment backed Hillary. Why? Would she really reform the bankers? I cannot believe how stupid these people really were. They seem to be just indoctrinated to assume Democrats are for the middle class and Republicans are for the rich. Then why did all the rich cronies in Hollywood, hedge funds, and the bankers along with Soros, back Hillary and oppose Trump? It just shows they are not independent thinkers and/or really do not care.
Everything is coming unglued.

Sunset answers the needs of budding Midwestern gardeners with this lavishly illustrated guide to the best ways to make their gardens grow and prosper. Starting with varieties that are known regional successes and moving on to complete planting and growing information, this book is the one that Midwesterners will turn to in order to plan and enhance their gardens. One of the first volumes in Sunset's new series, it includes a Calendar of Top 10 Tasks for each season and a whole chapter devoted to lawns and their alternatives, including native prairie plants. Edited by popular Midwest gardening guru Bonnie Blodgett of St. Paul, Minnesota, editor to "The Garden Letter quarterly newsletter.
Written by one of the region's most highly respected gardening experts, Minnesota & Wisconsin Getting Started Garden Guide is a plant recommendation guidebook geared exclusively toward gardeners located in these states. Author Melinda Myers shares her extensive gardening knowledge, highlighting her top picks for plants that will thrive in (or in spite of) the area's tough winters and other unique growing conditions, guaranteeing success for the gardener and home landscaper in Minnesota or Wisconsin. From soil and water to fertilization and pest management, Minnesota & Wisconsin Getting Started Garden Guide addresses all the gardening topics of concern to Minnesota and Wisconsin gardeners. Featured plant categories discuss annuals, bulbs, ferns and groundcovers, ornamental grasses, perennials, roses, shrubs, trees, turfgrasses, and vines.

Antonio Conte sends clear message to Eden Hazard at Chelsea
Antonio Conte believes that Eden Hazard has what it takes to win the Ballon d'Or with Chelsea one day
Antonio Conte believes that Chelsea star Eden Hazard has what it takes to win the Ballon d’Or one day.
Cristiano Ronaldo celebrated winning football’s most prestigious individual accolade for a fifth time last week as both he and Lionel Messi continue to dominate the award.
Hazard has been touted as a potential future winner of the award, with the Chelsea midfielder having won the PFA player of the year award in England after helping the Blues to win the Premier League title in the 2014-15 campaign.
And Chelsea manager Conte believes that Hazard has the ability to compete with the likes of Messi and Ronaldo for the Ballon d’Or.
Speaking at a news conference on Friday at Cobham, Conte said: “Eden is a young player and he has the potential to improve his place in this table [19th in the Ballon d’Or running].
“At the same time, I like to repeat: you have to win trophies if you want to reach the best. A top player must have this ambition.”
Hazard has been in good form for Chelsea this season as he bids to try and help the Blues climb the Premier League table and keep pace with the Manchester clubs.
The Belgian was in fine form last term as he helped the west London side to win the Premier League for the second time in three years following Conte’s appointment back in the summer of 2016.
Chelsea missed out on the chance to win a domestic double last season when they were beaten by Arsenal in the FA Cup final back in May.

A typical dictionary describes feminism as “the advocacy of women’s rights on the grounds of political, social, and economic equality to men.” Noted author and feminist activist bell hooks puts it more simply in her book Feminism is for Everybody, “Simply put, feminism is a movement to end sexism, sexist exploitation and oppression.” For Trina Robbins, changing the climate of the comic book world demanded this latter definition of feminism: ending sexist exploitation and oppression.
The Comics Magazine Association of America made an authoritative code in 1954 that banned images of sex, drugs, violence, and socially progressive content in mainstream comics. In the late 1960s, artists like Robert Crumb and Gary Panter heralded in the underground commix movement, selling comics outside of these regulations in local head shops. Unfortunately, this liberation led to crude depictions of women being degraded, humiliated or even sexually assaulted.
As a child, Robbins was a fan of comics that didn’t favor the damsel in distress. She preferred strong female leads like Hellcat, Wonder Woman, and Mary Marvel. In the 1970s she made her debut writing comics for It Ain’t Me Babe, America’s first feminist newspaper based in the California Bay Area. The comic followed the struggles of Belinda Berkeley, who faced the then-common drama of a bad office job while her husband was the true breadwinner.
After teaming up with Barbara “Willy” Mendes, Robbins comic evolved into the first all-women’s comic book, “It Ain’t Me Babe Comix”. Local artists Lisa Lyons and Meredith Kurtzman were brought on board to create stories which featured strong female comic characters such as Olive Oyl, Little Lulu, Sheena and Elsie the Cow. These familiar characters were revamped as they joined the women’s liberation movement, participating in protests and no longer sitting idly by as sidekicks or damsels in distress.
This work helped Robbins come to terms with her distresses about patriarchal culture. Her work evolved even further into “Wimmen’s Comix.” Working as a collective, the comic welcomed new artists, giving them a debut in a medium they may never have ventured into. In the introduction to The Complete Wimmen’s Comix, Robbins said, “Many of the women who submitted to us had never drawn a comic before, and it showed. But we were more interested in giving women a voice than in how professionally they could pencil and ink.”
“Wimmen’s Comix” embraced the feminist perspective fully, fleshing out how feminism and feminist stances could be understood. The stories covered a variety of topics from being in an illegal abortion clinic to struggling with body image and weight-loss regimens. From Harriet Tubman to masturbation and menstruation, the “Wimmen’s Comix” developed a veritable smorgasbord of the female experience and the challenges – and triumphs – of feminism.
The collective persisted for seventeen issues. In spite of difficulties in distributing the “Wimmen’s Comix” in mainstream comic book stores, the effect of Robbins’ hard work can hardly be overlooked. Women today have become avid participants in both creating and enjoying comic books. Robbins’ bravery in overcoming the odds and starting a feminist comic book has opened doors for young women today.
“Wimmen’s Comix” broke the barrier between women and cliché comic book stories, and helped to reform the antiquated notion of feminism as strictly anti-male. Robbins incredible work -giving female artists their time to shine, covering issues relevant to women, and allowing female characters to fulfill meaningful lead roles in their own lives – reaffirmed the idea that above all else feminism is anti-sexism and sexist exploitation.

Riot Games announced the new agent is coming to Valorant, and it’s fantastic. The praised 5v5 first-person shooter game will welcome Killjoy, a German robotics genius.
The new agent, a young genius hailing from Germany, is expected to slay with her tech skills and robotics to get the upper hand over opponents. Here is what you need to know.
Killjoy the New Valorant Agent: What to Expect
Killjoy is the twelfth agent to join the Valorant team and follows Reyna, who was introduced back in June when the game officially launched. The new agent will be added to the game as part of the Act II or Season 2 that starts this summer, on August 4.
Riot Games has published a sleek video promo unveiling Killjoy’s mechanical skills. Thanks to it, we know what to expect. Here are the skills, as seen in the promo.
This skill is similar to Raze’s boom bot, but it’s more like a trap. Players can place an Alarmbot at entry points, and it will begin tracking opponents in the proximity. As they get close to the Alarmbot, it will explode, creating a lot of damage. Besides, it will activate the double damage debuff. Taking down enemies has never been so easy.
The promo shows that Nanoswarm is Killjoy’s most effective damage-dealing skill. She will be able to throw bombs to launch nano-robots that deal a lot of damage and destroy enemies in a fixed radius.
Turrets can be placed at important target points. They can also shoot in a 180-degree FOV, but the enemies can destroy them quickly because the damage isn’t too high.
Lockdown is Killjoy’s final skill that needs to be timed precisely to be used effectively. Players can place a robot to slow down all the opponents within its radius for up to 8 seconds. The downside of Lockdown is the prolonged activation period.
You can watch the promo below for more details:

Technology that allows orchard sprayers to skip the space between trees can protect the environment while saving growers money.
The idea is simple: when orchards receive dormant and in-season sprays of agricultural chemicals, the spray should only fall on the trees where it is needed, rather than on the ground, where it is not.
Orchard sprayers can be retrofit with target sensors that activate spray nozzles only when a tree is present.
“By reducing the application rate of the pesticide mix, each tank load of material covers a greater land area, effectively reducing the number or refills, ferry trips and time spent spraying each orchard,” wrote author Durham Giles, UC Davis professor of biological and agricultural engineering, in California Agriculture. “This provides additional economic return to growers by reducing labor and fuel costs.”
Based on field tests, the authors estimated that reductions in pesticide and operating costs with smart-sprayer technology ranged from $58 per acre for peaches grown in the San Joaquin Valley to $31 per acre for prunes grown in the Sacramento Valley.
At the same time, reductions in the total amounts of pesticide sprayed ranged from 15 percent for a mature prune orchard near Chico, to 22 percent for a mature almond orchard near Modesto, to 40 percent for a younger (more open) prune orchard near Oroville.
The trees themselves received the same amount of pesticide in the smart-sprayed orchards, but a lot less pesticide ended up on the ground than in the control. “For the almond and more open prune orchards, the reductions were 79 percent and 59 percent, respectively,” Giles and colleagues wrote.
Likewise, when the amount of pesticide in water running off from the younger prune orchard was measured, the reduction was 54% in the smart-sprayed orchard compared to the control.
Despite its obvious benefits, the study authors noted that “use of the smart-spray technology is growing but remains a small part of the spraying equipment market.” The retrofit spray sensor and control equipment cost about $15,000, with an estimated payback period of 2 years or less, given documented cost reductions.
Furthermore, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) can provide up to $30 per acre for a total of $15,000 per contract when the new equipment provides a 20% reduction in spray, which as been documented in peer-reviewed research such as the California Agriculture article.
“The amount is sufficient to adequately cover the cost of purchasing a typical target-sensing system for an orchard sprayer,” the authors note in California Agriculture journal.

The speech-language pathologist is able to use horse movement to facilitate the systems that support speech and language. When combined with other standard speech-language intervention strategies, the speech-language pathologist is able to generate effective remediation of communication disorders and promote functional communication outcomes.
During hippotherapy, the movement of the horse moves the rider’s pelvis in the correct way, while also stimulating other ligaments, bones, and joints. A horse moves a person in more than one way, by tilting, rotating, and moving the rider, which would take a whole session of difficult physical therapy exercises to achieve. Sitting on a horse improves core muscle strength, muscle symmetry, balance, posture, flexibility, circulation, coordination, and breathing (which also makes it easier to speak). The excitement of riding encourages speech when the rider wants to communicate with the therapist and the horse. Non-verbal autistic children have suddenly started talking when they use the horse’s name or ask the horse to get moving!
Hippotherapy comes from the Greek word (hippos/horse) and finds its earliest recorded mention in the ancient Greek writings of Hippocrates. Hippotherapy became a formal therapy in the 1960′s in German, Austria, and Switzerland as an addition to traditional physical therapy. Since then research has shown many more amazing effects to this type of therapy as it helps to develop core muscles which are connected to all other muscles in the body.

Have you decided to launch your business as a self-employed person in France?
Starting a business in France as a foreigner can be more or less easy, depending on the legal status you decide to adopt. Though some legal regimes are quite uncomplicated to create (e.g. auto-entrepreneur status), some questions still need to be addressed.
Moreover, if you are registered as a self-employed person in France, you still have mandatory disclosure requirements to fulfill. They include the payment of social security costs, tracking your revenues and expenses, or turnover declarations.
In this context, opening a bank account in France as a freelancer is critical for your freelance business. If you are wondering how to open a bank account as a self-employed person in France, this article will guide you.
Is a dedicated professional bank account mandatory for self-employed people in France?
Everything depends on your legal status as a self-employed person.
If you are registered as a micro-company (micro-entreprise) or sole trader (entreprise individuelle), you must open a separate account for your freelancing activities.
However, the French law is silent on the nature of the account. Therefore, you can open another account in your current bank if you separate your business and individual expenses.
Opening a business account in France is mandatory in the following cases:
- You are registered as a company (EURL or SASU)
- Your company operates in sales activities
- Your turnover has been superior to 10,000€ for two consecutive calendar years
Whatever the legal status you choose, we recommend you open a business account entirely dedicated to your activity. The separation between your professional and personal estates will be easier. Also, if you undergo a tax audit, you will be covered!
4 Steps to opening a bank account in France as a freelancer
Step #1: Define your needs
Before opening an account in France as a freelancer, you must consider several criteria to get the ideal solution for you. For this reason, you must examine the following questions before making your choice:
- your legal status and social security scheme
- the number of transactions you expect to have on your account (wire transfers, direct debits…)
- the means of payment you need: for instance, do you need to have checks and payment terminals for your activity?
- the budget you want to allocate to your activity
- your bookkeeping habits – do you keep your book accounts on your own? Have you outsourced your bookkeeping to a certified public accountant?
- the insurance contracts you need for your freelance activity
- the need for credit or overdraft facilities
Answering these questions will help you to make the best choice of bank you want to open an account with.
Step #2: Open your account within the required deadlines
If you decide to create a company for your activity (EURL, SASU), opening a bank account should be one of your first move. It is a prerequisite to the registration of the company.
If you are registered as an auto-entrepreneur (or micro-entrepreneur) the French law gives you 90 days to start declaring your first turnover to the social security authorities. Moreover, you must open a business account within the next 12 months if your turnover is superior to 10,000€ for two consecutive calendar years.
Nevertheless, please keep in mind that opening a bank account right away after the creation of your freelance business is not compulsory but highly recommended. Even if you can even cash your first invoices without it (only if you are an auto-entrepreneur),we recommend you open a business account to avoid potential bookkeeping errors.
Step #3: Provide the supporting documents
The conditions for opening a bank account in France can be slightly different from one bank to another. However, as banks have due diligence requirements, they will ask you systematically for the following documents:
- A valid ID document (e.g., passport, ID card, or driving license)
- Documentary evidence of your address (phone invoice, electricity bill, or rent receipt)
- Declaration form of the beginning of your freelance activity
- SIREN or SIRET number of your business (you necessary have one, no matter your legal status
Step #4: Read your contract carefully
This step is essential because you must understand:
- how your selected account operates,
- the terms of payment with your credit card (especially abroad),
- the conditions of opposition and cancellation
- the deadlines for executing orders
- the methods of communication with the bank
- the pricing conditions
Traditional banks or online banks ?
If you are self-employed in France, you can choose to open your account with a traditional bank or an online bank.
With this option, you can discuss the available offers with a bank advisor. Thus, opening an account with traditional French banks is very reassuring for freelancers. You can also carry out a variety of banking operations, such as wire transfers, or cash and check deposits.
It can be a great solution to start your freelancer adventure abroad : you can benefit from a personalized experience and have support while you get acustomed to the french administration system.
However, the pricing conditions are quite high with a traditional bank so it could be interesting to start there and switch to an online bank when you feel more confident with your business.
Over the last ten years, online banks have become increasingly popular among freelancers. Thanks to them, opening a bank account in France has become easier, quicker, and more practical. Moreover, the pricing conditions are much lower than in traditional banks.
By opening a bank account online, you can benefit from several banking and non-banking services, such as:
- bank account management
- editing of estimates and invoices
- export of accounting statements
Many French online banks offer great money for value to freelancers: Qonto, Shine, Boursorama, or N26 Business. Just study their conditions carefully before you choose one of them.
From now on, you have all the keys for the opening of a bank account in France as a self-employed person.
As we know the opening of a bank account will not be the only French administrative procedure you will have to figure out, we prepared a glossary of all the terms you might encounter in your self-employed journey in France.
Also, if you think the French administration system has taken enough of your time and energy, you can have a look at the status of portage salarial : it's a legal status for freelancers that gives you all the freedom of self-employment while getting the same advantages as an employee. It might be a solution for you ?

With uncertainty affecting all of us right now, it is important that we continue to support and maintain our wellbeing, especially when our personal and working lives are forced to adapt to change. Remaining positive and intentionally putting effort in to motivate our happiness at work could be as easy as changing up our routine. All it takes is the ability to identify which approach works for us.
To help add a little positivity back to the working day, here are five tips to support our wellbeing at work.
Maintain a work/life balance
This is by no means a new concept for work-life satisfaction, but it’s proven time and time again to be so beneficial. Maintaining a healthy work-life balance is not only important for our wellbeing, but it can also improve our productivity. Organising fun things to do outside of work, whether they are hobbies or interests that bring us joy or social interactions with friends and family, will inject life with a greater sense of meaning, purpose, and happiness to take into the working week. Why not make a list of the things that bring you joy and schedule some time in (even if just half an hour at lunch) to balance your day out a bit more with something you’ll enjoy.
Take regular breaks
Taking breaks can be very beneficial for us and our work. No doubt, work can feel overwhelming at times, even outside of the pandemic! Sometimes it takes a good dose of self-discipline to make time to reset and relax between a busy workload. We may be working hard, however, it’s important to give ourselves a break from time to time to re-charge our batteries. Even the shortest break of 3 minutes to make a cuppa can make a world of difference.
Encourage healthy choices
We all know healthy living is important. Adding just a few healthy habits into our workday can boost our mood and increase our productivity and therefore our sense of achievement at the end of the working day. This could include healthier lunches, stretching intermittently throughout the day, or exercising before or after work. Maybe it’s just a case of drinking more water and less coffee during the day!
The communication of wellbeing needs is important in the workplace in order to create a healthy and supportive working environment. A discussion with a colleague, friend, or family member can make a significant positive difference to your day – even if it’s a conversation you’ve been feeling anxious about.
Make work wellbeing a priority
We owe it to ourselves to look after our health and happiness. Continue to check in on your own mental health and reflect on how you are feeling. A great way to become more proactive, and motivated to continue do this is to force ourselves to start and book time in to prioritise this. For example, practicing mindfulness for 10 minutes every day can make a massive difference to overall well-being, and if we start by booking time into our diaries, following through on this time, then we are far more likely to feel motivated to do it again next week.


Kenny responds to rape case
The Fiona Doyle rape case has filled the nation with revulsion, Taoiseach Enda Kenny has said.
Mr Kenny said he admired Ms Doyle's courage, adding that there had been the defilement of a child and continuous rape over a 10-year period.
"I would like to believe that others who have been or are subject to rape or incest, or crimes of this horrific nature, would not lose courage in coming forward to say their piece," he added.
Mr Kenny was responding in the Dáil today to Opposition questions on the 12-year sentence, suspending nine years, on Patrick O'Brien for the rape of his daughter, Ms Doyle, for a decade. The case had been referred to the Court of Criminal Appeal, he added.
He said the question of mandatory sentencing had been raised in the Dáil before and was a matter for the Government to reflect on.
Mr Kenny said he accepted the ruling by Ceann Comhairle Sean Barrett that it was not open to him to refer to the nature and extent of the sentence imposed.
Fianna Fail's Billy Kelleher said recent decisions by the Central Criminal Court sent out sent out a very disturbing message. "As a parliament and as a society, we have to give encouragement to people who have been abused and betrayed by their loved ones or by this State to know that if they come forward to seek justice, they will be listened to," he added.
When Mr Kelleher referred to the sentence handed down to Patrick O'Brien, the Ceann Comhairle said the case could not be discussed by the House. "We cannot discuss in here decisions by the court," he added.
Mr Kelleher said he was raising the legitimate concerns of the Irish people.
Sinn Féin leader Gerry Adams said there was inconsistency in sentencing. "My father was an abuser...and that creates devastation in a family beyond description," he added.
Earlier, the Rape Crisis Network Ireland (RCNI) said it would write to Minister for Justice Alan Shatter calling for measures to ensure consistent sentencing of convicted sex offenders.
RCNI spokeswoman Cliona Saidlear described the sentencing as dreadful. “The Minister can’t interfere with the sentencing being imposed in these cases,” she said. said the spokesman. “So we are calling for sentencing guidelines in sexual offence cases and a consistency in sentencing.
“There is deep hurt and outrage out there,” she said. “Every time there is a sentence like this, it has a lasting impact in terms of a survivor’s confidence and their vindication, of survivor’s rights, and a survivor going forward and feeling they will be taken seriously.”

EAST CHICAGO | All the bikes, toys and clothing for children of the St. Joseph's Carmelite Home have been stolen from a storage shed on the shelter's grounds.
WHITING | Pierogi Fest has received a lot of national and worldwide exposure thanks to Oprah Winfrey, the Travel Channel and CNN.
When Marty Dybel, Tom Dabertin, and Darlene Beerling were brainstorming ideas for a new community event 21 years ago, they all agreed upon two things: they wanted an ethnic festival, and they wanted it to stand out from the rest.
"Kung Pao Pierogies" use several different sauces to give this recipe an Asian influence.
This "Carbonara Pierogi" recipe uses cheese blended pierogies and tops them in bacon, parmesan cheese, and parsley for a truly Italian infused dish.
Inspired by traditional buffalo wings, this recipe combines the hearty flavor of pierogies with a "spicier" flare.
WHITING | A Saturday night fireworks display and a polka luau are just two of several changes or additions to the city's popular Pierogi Fest.
WHITING | Applications for the 2014 Pierogi Fest Polka Parade will be accepted through July 23 at the Whiting-Robertsdale Chamber of Commerce, 1417 119th St.
Hammond has locked in funding for the popular College Bound scholarship program for the next dozen years. That keeps a bright idea going.
HAMMOND │ Mayor Thomas McDermott Jr. signed a $36 million ordinance Tuesday at City Hall.
Three affordable housing projects in Gary, East Chicago and Hammond missed the mark by a few points to receive tax credits, and local housing officials believe they're being ignored by state officials.
CROWN POINT | Lake County commissioners on Tuesday awarded $2.6 million in consultant contracts and supplies.
HOBART | The Hobart City Council on Wednesday gave an initial OK to the E-911 consolidation agreement after extensive discussion, much of it negative.
The Crown Point and and Lake Station mayors are joining the call to merge E-911 services into a single Lake County network.
ST. JOHN | Lake County officials say they have dumped their entire sugar canister into the latest E-911 proposed interlocal agreement to overcome city and town officials skeptical about the public cost of merging their police and fire communications into one network.
CROWN POINT | A consolidated Lake County E-911 network promises state-of-the-art radio equipment allowing instantaneous communication among the county's different public safety agencies.
ST. JOHN | Town officials who are tired of delays and wary of the proposed cost of a consolidated E-911 service want to split the county into two service areas comprising the busiest cities and towns and the more quiet suburbs.
CROWN POINT | Lake County's cities and towns will have to ante up more than $6.6 million annually to operate a consolidated E-911 service, county officials confirmed Wednesday.
Lake County officials got good advice last week from an Indiana University expert in public finance. Now it's time to act on it.
WHITING | When 119th Street in downtown Whiting closes the morning before the infamous Pierogi Fest begins, it's a rush to get the entire festival set up in 24 hours.

VERY PROMISING! Lasting Immunity Seen After Mild COVID-19 Infection: Report
“This calls for some optimism about herd immunity," an immunologist said
A series of new studies have revealed signs of strong and lasting immunity in people who developed a mild coronavirus infection, according to a report on Sunday.
The studies, which have yet to be peer-reviewed, uncovered that antibodies and immune cells capable of recognizing the virus were apparently present months after infections concluded. The findings could help to eliminate the previous concerns over whether the virus could trick the immune system into having a poor memory of prior infections.
“This is exactly what you would hope for,” Marion Pepper, an immunologist at the University of Washington who authored one of the new studies told the New York Times. “All the pieces are there to have a totally protective immune response.”
While scientists have yet to forecast how long the immune responses will last, researchers who have been monitoring immune responses to the virus for months now, believe the recent findings are encouraging signs.
Having those defense mechanisms present means the body has a good chance of fending off the coronavirus if reinfected.
“This is very promising,” said Smita Iyer, an immunologist at the University of California. “This calls for some optimism about herd immunity, and potentially a vaccine.”
Pepper -- who authored one of the new studies -- said the next step will be confirming and getting proof on whether people are truly able to ward off the coronavirus after being exposed a second time, the paper reported.

Integrative Analysis of Cancer Genomic Data
Shuangge Ma, School of Public Health, Yale University
Monday, September 20, 2010
4:00 p.m., room 223, Weber Bldg
In cancer genomic studies, markers identified from the analysis of single datasets often suffer from a lack of reliability because of the small sample sizes. A cost-effective remedy is to pool data from multiple comparable studies and conduct integrative analysis. Integrative analysis of multiple datasets is challenging because of the high dimensionality of markers and, more importantly, because of the heterogeneity among studies. In our study, we consider penalized approaches for marker selection in the integrative analysis of multiple datasets. The proposed approaches can effectively identify markers with consistent effects across multiple studies and automatically accommodate the heterogeneity among studies. We establish the asymptotic consistency properties, conduct simulations, and analyze pancreatic and liver cancer studies.

The latest issue of Party magazine features an article about the never-ending feud between Patty Brard and José Hoebee. The ladies even grace the cover of the publication.
This year Patty celebrates her 40th anniversary in the showbiz. It all started with Luv'. Due to several conflicts with her former Luv' colleagues, the diva will not attend the anniversary party of the group that will take place this coming Sunday in Best, NL. Recently she has decided to settle down permanently in Ibiza and in September she will leave SBS 6's entertainment news program "Shownieuws". Her career and life has been in the spotlight for more than 4 decades. The Dutch tabloid press has often covered her ups and downs, her love affairs, her weddings, her divorces and her conflicts. But before she leaves SBS 6, will the enfant terrible of Dutch showbiz make up with José?
"Patty, Marga and I had a specific role in Luv'. Marga was the beautiful blonde doll, Patty was the exotic beauty and I was the girl next door. But progressively she acted as if she was the leader of the group. Of course she wasn't. During performances the situation deteriorated. It was as if it was the Patty Brard show," José remembered about the time La Brard was a member of Holland's greatest girl group.
"However, Patty is a huge part of my past with Luv' and we had a lot of fun. Although we are not in touch anymore I don't want to be negative about her. She welcomed me in Ibiza and was kind to me after my husband died. Deep in her heart Patty is a good person. Unfortunately she said terrible things about me and she ruined Luv's beautiful photo book. What a pity it ended so badly!," she added.
The two singers were so successful in many countries in the late 1970s and were even friends. Party magazine hopes that José's statement will provoke a reunion between the ladies. Before she emigrates to Ibiza, will Patty reconcile with José? That's the question....

Research Park launches new innovation lab
September 5, 2019
Research Park has partnered with agricultural company Cargill Inc. to bring a new innovation lab to campus.
The technology center, which currently accommodates 120 businesses, opened doors to the new innovation lab this year after recruiting last spring.
Research Park’s Executive Director Laura Frerichs said the facility began working with Cargill Inc. about a year before the decision to institute a new innovation lab was made.
The new lab will be providing a 12-week internship program for both graduate and undergraduate data science and engineering students.
“We are seeking to provide our students with not only the domain knowledge and skills in these areas, but the opportunity to engage in authentic activity in the synthesis of these disciplines,” said Adam Davis, professor in ACES and head of the Department of Crop Sciences in an email.
Davis also said interns will have the opportunity to understand and adapt to the questions and problems essential to agricultural technology innovation.
“The new Cargill Innovation Lab at the UIUC Research Park is poised to have a significant positive impact on the University and surrounding community,” Davis said. “CIL’s cross-cutting focus on food, agriculture and technology innovations will create opportunities for research and education collaborations across campus, particularly in the Colleges of ACES and Engineering.”
Meeting Research Park’s goal to recruit an agricultural technology group, Cargill’s collaboration is a valuable opportunity especially because the institute’s most rapidly growing area has been at the intersection of agriculture and computing, Frerichs said.
According to Cargill’s website, the company works to “bring food, agricultural, financial and industrial products” to individuals on a global scale.”
“Food and security of agriculture is one of the major components of sustainability. Our campus has a tradition for food security and agriculture ways,” said environmental engineering Professor Ximing Cai. “This collaboration will provide a lot of opportunities for students and faculty to join the effort for sustainability and food and agriculture.”
According to a press release made by Cargill, Keith Narr, vice president of Cargill’s digital lab team, said Cargill is constantly looking for new revolutions and talent, making the University an exemplary collaborator to increase the growth within their field of digital business.
Cargill representatives were unable to respond in time for publication.

Public invited to Nicholson fall fest
Published 4:37 pm Saturday, October 19, 2019
Nicholson Elementary School is opening its doors to the public for its annual fall festival on Oct. 22.
The festival is open to anyone in the community and will be from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. in the school’s multipurpose building. The festival has been held for at least 10 years and serves as a fundraiser for arts in the elementary school, said Karen Balch, a third grade teacher on the school’s arts committee.
The event will include games for kids, a photo booth and snack foods like hot dogs, chili, popcorn and candy. Tickets, for 25 cents apiece, will be sold at the door and can be used to play the festival games or purchase food, Balch said.
Typically the school raises $1,000 after expenses through the festival, Balch said. The money raised from the festival will be combined with last year’s funds to pay for an arts experience for students, Balch said.
In previous years, the funds have been used to pay for artists to come into the school, to take children to see a play, to provide materials to extend arts education, and to help provide testing rewards, Balch said.
The festival booths are run by the school’s teachers, staff and faculty and by the local high school robotics team members. The festival gives parents, students and teachers a chance to interact in an afterschool setting, Balch said.
“It’s open to the public, and anyone’s invited to come and participate, and help us enjoy the evening and support our school,” Balch said.
