Market Analysis and Size
In recent years, the pancreatic cancer treatment market is anticipated to grow rapidly during the forecast period. Pancreatic cancer accounts for about 3% of all cancer in the United States, as per the American Cancer Society (ACS). The American Cancer Society estimates that 60,430 persons were diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2021. Because pancreatic cancer is difficult to detect, it is frequently discovered only after it has progressed to an advanced stage. Jaundice and weight loss are two symptoms of pancreatic cancer. Diabetes and exposure to some toxins are both risk factors. The type of treatment depends on the tumor's size and location and whether it has spread to other parts of the body.
Data Bridge Market Research analyses that the pancreatic cancer treatment market was valued at USD 2,236.17 million in 2021 and is expected to reach USD 6,245.81 million by 2029, registering a CAGR of 13.70% during the forecast period of 2022 to 2029. The market report curated by the Data Bridge Market Research team includes in-depth expert analysis, patient epidemiology, pipeline analysis, pricing analysis, and regulatory framework.
When uncontrolled cell development in a region of the pancreas occurs, pancreatic cancer develops. Jaundice and abdominal pain are common symptoms, but they may not show up until later in the disease's progression. The pancreas is in the back of the belly, near the gallbladder, behind the stomach. It is made up of glands that produce hormones and enzymes, including insulin. Pancreatic cancer is rarely discovered in its earliest stages, when it is most treatable. This is because it frequently does not manifest symptoms until it has progressed to other organs. The disease's severity determines treatment choices for pancreatic cancer. Surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or a combination of these treatments are all possible options.

Pop star Ariana Grande helped kick off the 2014 National Football League's season in the U.S. on Thursday night (04Sep14) with an impressive version of America's National Anthem. Her performance came after concerts featuring Pharrell Williams and Soundgarden outside of Seattle, Washington's CenturyLink Field, just before the game between the Seahawks and Green Bay Packers.
Taylor Swift has reportedly signed on to help mentor the finalists of the upcoming season of U.S. talent show The Voice. The Love Story singer will help coaches Adam Levine, Blake Shelton, Pharrell Williams and Gwen Stefani with their picks.
Life on the road is beginning to take its toll on 25-year-old Paramore star Hayley Williams and she is coming to terms with the fact she's not a teenager anymore. The Misery Business singer admits she can no longer perform at her best by simply showing up at the venue with a stomach full of fast food.
Williams tells Rolling Stone magazine, "Seven or eight years ago, we would go to Taco Bell, grab a bean burrito and run onstage. Now, getting ready for a show takes two hours - (bandmates) Jeremy (Davis) and Taylor (York) have to wrap their ankles, and I have to do stretches so I don't hurt my neck from headbanging. I'm loving it, but I definitely might collapse at one of these shows."
The singer forced the band to scrap two gigs in Texas last week (beg04Aug14) after falling ill with exhaustion-related symptoms and a chest infection.
She resumed dates on the Momentour, a double-header with Fall Out Boy, on Thursday (07Aug14). After the gig, Williams gave fans an update on her health, tweeting, "Made it thru (through) the show tonight!! Only coughed up some green no big (deal)."
Singer Taylor Swift surprised a young cancer patient at a Boston, Massachusetts hospital recently with a visit and an impromptu performance. Jordan Nickerson, six, was diagnosed with genetic disorder Williams Syndrome when he was a year old and is currently receiving treatment for leukaemia.
Over the weekend (02-03Aug14), Swift dropped by Nickerson's room at Boston Children's Hospital and delighted the youngster by teaming up with him to sing her hit We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together.
She also posed for pictures with Nickerson and took part in a game of air hockey.
Pop star Ed Sheeran is celebrating after scoring his first U.K. number one single. The A Team hitmaker has previously enjoyed four top 10 hits from his debut album, +, but new song Sing is the first of his tracks to hit pole position in his native country.
The chart triumph comes days after Sheeran admitted he didn't want to release Sing as the initial offering from his forthcoming album X, revealing he was swayed to do so after receiving advice from his superstar pals Taylor Swift, Elton John and superproducer Pharrell Williams.
The song keeps Sam Smith's Stay With Me at number two, while last week's chart-topper, Secondcity's I Wanna Feel, drops two places to three.
In the U.K. albums chart, Smith lands a second week at the top with The Lonely Hour, ahead of Coldplay's Ghost Stories at two and Clean Bandit's New Eyes, which debuts at three.
There was also good news for Dame Vera Lynn - the beloved entertainer's new war songs release, titled The Ultimate Collection, enters the albums chart at 13, making her the oldest living artist to hit Britain's top 20 at the age of 97. The disc was released this week (ends08Jun14) to mark the 70th anniversary of the D-Day landings.
Lynn became the darling of British troops during World War Two with her songs of hope. She also holds the record as the first and only artist over the age of 90 to reach number one on the U.K. album charts, thanks to her 2009 compilation album, We'll Meet Again: The Very Best of Vera Lynn.
Johnny Cash's I Walk The Line has topped a new Rolling Stone magazine poll of the Greatest Country Songs of All Time. The 1956 tune tops Patsy Cline's 1961 classic Crazy and Hank Williams' I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry.
George Jones' He Stopped Loving Her Today and Blue Yodel No. 9 (Standin' on the Corner) by Jimmie Rodgers round out the top five.
Meanwhile, the modern country stars are represented by Taylor Swift, who just makes the top 25 at 24 with Mean.
The top 10 is:
1. I Walk The Line by Johnny Cash
2. Crazy by Patsy Cline
3. I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry by Hank Williams
4. He Stopped Loving Her Today by George Jones
5. Blue Yodel No. 9 (Standin' on the Corner) by Jimmie Rodgers
6. Stand by Your Man by Tammy Wynette
7. You Don't Know Me by Ray Charles
8. Mama Tried by Merle Haggard
9. Jolene by Dolly Parton
10. Mammas, Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys by Willie Nelson & Waylon Jennings.
Pop star Ed Sheeran changed his mind about his latest single Sing after his famous friends Sir Elton John, Taylor Swift and Pharrell Williams urged him to release it. The British singer was planning to put out a track called One as the lead song from his upcoming second album X, but every superstar pal he consulted advised him to release Sing instead.
Sheeran was determined to resist, but he eventually gave in and agreed when his mentor Sir Elton, close friend Swift, and producer Williams all gave him the same tip. He tells Britain's Seven magazine, "Elton John came into the office to listen to the album. (I also played him Sing) and Elton said: 'You're mental if you don't put that on the album. That's your first single.' So he originally planted the seed in my head. Then I went out for dinner with Pharrell around a month ago..."
Sheeran reveals Williams agreed with Sir Elton that Sing should be released, but it was Swift's advice that tipped him over the edge. He adds, "She said I was mad if I put out One first. She was like, 'That's just gonna... not bore people, but just satisfy them. But you want people to talk. And if they listen to Sing they can love or hate it, but they are gonna talk about it'... Taylor and Elton are two of the people I would play music to and really listen to their advice. Taylor has not put a foot wrong, ever. So I played her every song I ever wrote for this album."
Rapper Drake and pop-rock band Hedley lead the nominations for Canada's top music video awards. The Started From The Bottom hitmaker and Canadian band Hedley have both been shortlisted in six categories at the MuchMusic Video Awards and will go head-to-head for the coveted Video of the Year prize.
Drake has two nominations in the top category - his promo for Worst Behaviour will go up against his collaboration with The Weeknd, Live For, as well as Anything by Hedley, Everywhere We Go by SonReal and Arcade Fire's Afterlife.
Beyonce, Katy Perry, Lorde, Taylor Swift, Selena Gomez, Pharrell Williams, Iggy Azalea, Miley Cyrus, Kanye West and Avicii are in the running for the International Video of the Year - Artist, while One Direction, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, and Maroon 5 are among those up for the Group award.
The awards ceremony, co-hosted by reality TV stars Kendall and Kylie Jenner, will be held in Toronto, Canada on 15 June (14).
Imagine Dragons and Lorde are due to perform.

Imagine Dragons and Robin Thicke were also multiple winners on the night, while Lorde had double the reason to celebrate as she was named Top New Artist and her hit Royals earned her the Top Rock Song prize. It was also a big night for Jennifer Lopez, who opened the Las Vegas ceremony by joining Pitbull and Claudia Leitte to perform their official 2014 FIFA World Cup soccer anthem, We Are One (Ole Ola).
She returned to the stage almost three hours later to close the show with her new song First Love as she was feted with the Icon Award by pal Ricky Martin and rapper Iggy Azalea, while video tributes from the likes of Taylor Swift, Keith Urban, Cameron Diaz, Britney Spears, Rihanna and Mary J.

Nobel chemistry winner discusses EV battery development
Small and denser packs, charging habits, and the future of solid-state batteries all discussed
Michael Stanley Whittingham is one of 2019’s three Nobel Prize winners in chemistry, for his instrumental work in helping develop the lithium-ion batteries that power most electric vehicles (EV) today.
Bloomberg has just interviewed him, discussing what he sees as the lay of the land in EV technology, and what comes next. Since there could be few more reliable sources, we thought it would be worth taking note. Credit goes to the original source.
The high level goal, he says, is to pack twice as much energy into today’s lithium-ion batteries. That means a smaller, cheaper and lighter battery pack will be able to eke out equivalent ranges to today’s top-end units, which is what's needed to make them more popular without subsidies and tax breaks.
“Right now, we only get 25 per cent of theoretical capacity of them, so that’s 75 per cent that’s dead volume or dead weight,” Whittingham told Bloomberg.
“... If we can put twice the energy in the same volume, then we can make batteries much smaller than they are today. You use less material, so they’d be less costly, and so that’ll help them take over the market,” he said to the news service.
“Electric vehicles have got to be at a price where the consumer considers them as a realistic option, and they have got to go a reasonable distance.”
He also discussed the downsides of rapid-charging, which shortens battery life. Since cutting charging times is currently seen as a key agenda item for EV leaders – consider the 800V Porsche Taycan’s system – this suggests a shift in consumer habits might become necessary.
“For car batteries, the issue if you charge them in a short period of time is that you need a huge current and huge voltage, and, in the end, you are going to reduce the lifetime of the battery. If you look at the sellers of electricity, they don’t particularly want them to be charged very fast.”
Another agenda item was the development of so-called solid-state batteries, which are seen as a holy grail since they can reduce weight and degradation. Dr Whittingham’s thoughts?
“Lithium-ion is going to dominate for at least the next 10 years because there is nothing really on the horizon. Toyota Motor Corp. and a whole host of American companies are working on solid-state batteries, though it’s not clear how much those will cost to manufacture, and it’s not clear yet whether you’ll get a decent amount of power,” he told Bloomberg.
“They may work for things like iPhones initially, but there are some big questions before they are used in larger-scale systems.”

Dan Barry’s Daughter is a classic western action novel by American author Max Brand. It is the fourth and last novel about Dan Barry, also known as ”Whistlin' Dan”.
”Whistling Dan,” the man with the yellow eyes and untamed heart, is no more, but he left his girl-child, Joan, a vital legacy of wanderlust. The calling for adventure draws 18-year-old Joan Daniels from the comfort of her cabin into the mysterious northern country. At first, she's only looking to satisfy her restless curiosity. But a startling revelation ignites a desire to know her father's past, then she get an opportunity to clear his name for the future.
”Whistling Dan” Barry was a wild soul, as alien to the bonds of civilization as an eagle to the bars of a cage. His spirit demanded wide spaces; he was forever hearkening for the magical call of the wild geese to follow on and on beyond the beckoning horizon. Whistling Dan appears only partly in the narrative, but from beyond the grave he weaves a magic spell over Joan, his child.
This edition also includes an introduction (”The Mastery of Max Brand”) to the ”Whistling Dan” series, from the first publishing in serialized form in Argosy All-Story Weekly, in 1923.
The novel is a sequel to the three foregoing stories, The Untamed (1919), The Night Horseman (1920) and The Seventh Man (1921). E-Book: ePUB, 82,500 words, average reading time 6 hours, 50 min. Unabridged full version.
Max Brand was the pen name for Frederick Schiller Faust (1892-1944) who was an American author known primarily for his thoughtful and literary Westerns.

Learn About The Real And Most Amazing Scuba Experience In Thailand
One of the most famous water sports and water activities existing in today's modern day and time is scuba diving and it is said that such adventure is being enjoyed by a large number of people across the globe who desire to experience something amazing even once in their lifetime. Scuba diving is also considered as one of the most beautiful experience anyone could ever have as there is nothing that can beat the feeling of breathing inside the water and enjoying the spectacular view of the marine life right at your very eyes. And also, it is said that scuba diving is an activity that is not just good for the physical health but also, for the mental health as well.
Nowadays, scuba diving is getting more and more popular in the many different parts of the world and it is one of the major enticements for travelers who love the water. If you love scuba diving and you want to go to another destination to try it, the you can actually choose Phuket, one of the provinces in Thailand, since such place is known for being a great destination for diving lovers. Yes, it is true that Phuket is known for being one of the best destinations for scuba diving however, that is not the only reason why it is gaining an enormous amount of popularity, Phuket is also known for being a brilliant tourist spot for travelers and tourist all around the world. But still, the scuba diving experience in Phuket has its own place without any second though or word. Phuket is also known for offering some of the most wonderful and amazing Thailand scuba diving sites available that is why you can have as many places to try as you can. Here are some of the most brilliant and most amazing scuba diving sites in Phuket, Thailand where you can certainly enjoy the wonderful adventure:
The very first scuba diving site that we will be introducing to you is the Racha Island, and island that is located off the Southern tip of Thailand. The Racha Island is known for being one of the two big islands which has crystal clear waters hence, you can find the big animal encounter if you are fond of one. As for some of the most spectacular water sceneries in the Racha Island, the one responsible for making it happen is the Racha Noi, a small island. If you are looking forward to experience an encounter with sharks, manta rays and whales, the Racha Noi is the best place for such an experience. Click here if you have questions.
Then there is the Phi Phi Islands, which supposed to be one of the most dramatically beautiful locations in the whole wide world. To learn more about scuba diving, visit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scuba_diving.
Apart from the two locations stated above, another brilliant scuba diving site is the small island located in the way to the shark point in Phuket, the Koh Dok Mai. Click here if you have questions.

The world we envision has a concerted effort to minimize CO2 emissions from any source, either through reuse of emitted CO2 as feedstock for fuel or the chemical industry or permanently preventing the CO2 from escaping into the atmosphere through geological storage. In such an admittedly ideal world one envisions many different sources of CO2 with the economic incentive to optimize a Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage (CCUS) process that is optimally tailored to each local economic situation. The economic viability of each of these solutions is set by an effective price of carbon that sets a breakeven point for each of these processes. The technological challenge is to reduce this effective price of carbon by optimizing capture technologies for many different sources of CO2 and integrating a diverse range of applications for CO2 as a feedstock.
The PrISMa project aims to accelerate the transition of energy and industrial sectors to a low-carbon economy by developing a technology platform to tailor-make cost-efficient carbon capture solutions for a range of different CO2 sources and CO2 use/destinations.
To achieve this goal PrISMa unites the efforts of world-leading research teams from Heriot-Watt University (HWU) in the UK, École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) in the USA, and SINTEF Energy Research (SINTEF-ER) in Norway. These teams have the expertise to bridge the gap between molecular sciences (LBNL and EPFL) and process engineering (SINTEF-ER and HWU). The team is supported by market-leading companies and non-governmental organizations, which are committed to minimize CO2 emissions of their industrial sectors and will provide case studies and maximise knowledge exchange and impact of PrISMa.
The PrISMa methodology starts with a high-level analysis, in terms of an effective carbon price, on how the performance of a separation process depends on the source of CO2 and its use/destiny. This analysis is subsequently translated into key performance indicators (KPIs) that novel materials need to achieve in terms of their potential to reduce the effective carbon price in order to compete with state-of-the-art capture processes. A materials genomic approach is used to screen libraries of millions of in silico predicted structures to identify materials that meet the KPIs. The most promising materials will then be synthesized, characterised, and tested for their performance in a carbon capture process. For those materials that yield a significant reduction of the effective carbon price, a roadmap to bring these materials to TRL5 will be developed through case studies.
PrISMa will provide the platform needed for high-throughput screening of materials to maximise their impact, to enable the design of efficient pilot-scale test facilities with improved processes under real conditions and, to decrease the time to market of affordable, cost-competitive, low environmental impact, and resource-efficient advanced capture technologies. Through the integration of materials design and process design we aim to change the paradigm on how novel materials are developed for chemical engineering applications. Our target is to demonstrate that within 6-9 months we can make a reliable statement whether for a given CO2 source and sink novel materials have the potential of reducing the effective carbon price. As a similar approach can be developed for other separations, we expect the impact of PrISMa in terms of the potential to decrease the time to market for novel materials to go beyond carbon capture. In addition, PrISMa aims to initiate a systematic thinking about efficient solutions to mitigate CO2 emissions from different local CO2 sources that are optimal for a specific local setting. In such a setting the impact of PrISMa will be significant as the need for tailor-made solutions will be increasingly important if CO2 mitigation at the local level becomes the norm.

But as I saw more of Iran, from Isfahan to Shiraz, I began to piece something fundamental together. Whenever I visited city centers and older, well preserved homes, I was struck by the intricate, traditional Iranian art. There, preserved in the Persian tilework, were caricatures depicting Iranian women during the Qajar period, 1794 to 1925. And in those images, I saw myself. From the exaggerated unibrows to the mustached, tiny lips, there was no doubt about it: The features I loathed most about myself were actually defining characteristics that made the artwork so beautiful. I had always fit, had always been a part of this larger tapestry of history. The time had come to take that back.
So, I abandoned the routine I had adopted as a child and began the complicated — and at times painful — process of regrowth. I removed all of the color from my hair and tossed my heated torture devices, opting for my natural curls. Although uncomfortably itchy, I allowed the hair on my arms to slowly creep its way back. But frustration bubbled when I had the realization that my body would not simply revert back to the way it once was. I had permanently stunted the growth of many of my follicles. There was nothing I could do but make peace with my new normal: not quite the girl I was born as, and not quite the woman I attempted to turn myself into. And slowly, with patience and time, my eyebrow hair is beginning to flourish. The hairs are not what they once were, now single flowers instead of a thriving, unruly garden. But they’re budding, one day at a time.
My experience is individualized, but not unique. Many first generation Middle Eastern Americans have grappled with their cultural identity, choosing to embrace and later forgo the American beauty standards. For Nilou*, 25, that meant altering her nose, which a doctor once referred to as “the elephant in the room.” The comment led her to consider plastic surgery, an irreversible, life-long decision. Avid*, 24, tells me that she began waxing her eyebrows at the age of 10, in the hopes of feeling more confident at school. But once she turned 21, she made the difficult decision to stop — and was shocked when her peers did not comment. “Nobody cared,” she says. “For the first time, I felt free.” Jasmine*, 29, says that being more vocal about her identity allowed her to rewrite her relationship to her natural hair. “I obsessively straightened my hair, got highlights [and] treatments in attempts to fit in with the beauty standards and blend in more with my very white, light-haired classmates,” she says. “As I’ve gotten older and more in tune with my identity and surrounding myself with more people that look like me, I’ve really come to love my natural hair.”


[TV Broadcast Europe]
By most accounts there is just not enough 3D content for 3DTV to take off. Or perhaps there are not enough 3DTV displays out there for advertisers and broadcasters to create 3D content. Either way there is a chicken and egg dilemma which a recent panel at CES set out to address.
Tom Cosgrove, president and CEO of 3net said: “There was considerable hype three years ago that 3D will take over HD. That was never going to happen. By the end of the year 10-14m households in the US will have 3DTVs. Already there are 90 million 3D device displays globally. The reality is that this is a business that is going to stay but the onus is on us as producers to innovate content but we have to narrow the gap in economics between 2D and 3D.”
Bryan Burns, vice president of strategic business planning, ESPN is also of the opinion that 3D is here to stay: “The situation today is much like 2002-03 and the introduction of HD – it’s an evolutionary process,” he said. “Clearly the highway has been built. A higher percentage of consumer electronics screens will have 3D inside them. When that base of displays enters the marketplace it is up to content producers to drive usage in the home.
“However you can’t make the 2D show suffer. You can’t have separate footprints for 2D and 3D broadcasts, so for us, 5D is a way to get two shows out of one that doesn’t cost you as much. [ESPN aired its first live 3D (shot simultaneously in 2D) studio show from the Las Vegas Convention Centre].
Bob Zeitter, executive VP and CTO, HBO, said: “When we started a 24-hour HD network, most of our programming was in true HD. We were able to go back and take films that were aired on TV and remaster them in HD. You can’t do that affordably in 3D. We are currently running about twelve 3D movies a year – that volume clearly needs to grow – but there is not a cost effective way to go back and convert that content.”
“The economics of feature film and TV production are vastly different. If a feature costs $150m for a two-hour movie, that’s $75m an hour. Scripted TV varies from $500k an hour to $5-6m an hour. So the cost of going from 2D to 3D is more easily absorbed in a more expensive project. If it takes us 12 days to produce one episode you can’t make it take 15 days because adding 3D seriously impacts the cost.” …

Daniele Knight — Veterinarian
Dr. Daniele not only treats each pet as if they were her own, she also trains all of her staff to be as thorough as possible. She and her husband (Dr. Ryan Knight) donate tens of thousands of dollars worth of services every year to local shelter adoptees for FREE spays, neuters, and exams. They also participate in a “Trap, Neuter, Return” program, where they spay/neuter feral cats that are trapped by community members and brought in for the procedure, for the cost of only $50. They have recently had the practice AAHA accredited, and they practice these standards not only on regular patients, but also on every shelter/TNR animal that has a surgery performed there. She has been on our local news several times, unpaid, to promote animal welfare, like NOT declawing cats, getting annual testing for heartworm and tick borne diseases, and the dangers of essential oils in homes with pets. Dr. Daniele is also vegan, for the reason of the carbon footprint left behind by each human, so she really cares about the environment as well. She has designated areas in the clinic for recyclable items. She has worked very hard to train her staff to be “fear-free” in handling pets. Her clinic does absolutely EVERYTHING right, and she deserves to be recognized, not only for her love of animals, but for her donations to the community, and also her standards of care!

Last week the Government launched their vote-winning pensioner bonds. These fixed-term accounts pay an impressive 2.8% over a year or 4% over three years to savers who are over 65.
The aim of these accounts is to make life easier for pensioners who live off their savings and have struggled with the poor interest rate environment we've been living in for the past seven years.
The problem is that pensioner bonds essentially lock your money away for the length of the term - if you need to make a withdrawal, you'll be docked three months' interest.
That means they're pretty useless, unless you have cash lying around that you can afford to lock away for up to three years.
So, what are the best savings options if you want to be paid your interest monthly?
If you are prepared to shoulder a little more risk then you could opt to put your money with a peer-to-peer lender.
Crucially, these firms aren't covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) and, as you are lending your money out, there is a slim chance you won't get your cash back. Most have a compensation fund in place to prevent that happening, but these are not as failsafe as the FSCS guarantee.
If you are interested, Landbuy offers a tracker account that pays interest at 3% above the base rate – so 3.5% at the moment. Interest is paid monthly and you can make withdrawals whenever you like.
Ratesetter also offers monthly peer-to-peer lending. Here you get an annualised rate of 2.6% and can access your money each month or choose to reinvest it.
Those savers who would prefer the peace of mind of saving with a recognised high street name could opt for Yorkshire Building Society's three-year bond. It pays a rate of 2.2% with the option of receiving your interest monthly.
Alternatively, Barclays offer a two-year Cash ISA paying 1.7% with the option of monthly interest payments. This is a better option than for higher rate taxpayers who would only receive a net rate of 1.3% with the Yorkshire Building Society account.
Go for a current account
You can get a better rate by avoiding savings accounts though. Opt for a current account and you'll get monthly interest payments and impressive rates. TSB pays 5% interest on balances up to £2,000 in its Classic Plus account. The interest is paid monthly giving you a regular income. But, you do have to pay £500 into the account each month.
Santander also offers a good interest rate on its 123 current account. If you balance is between £3,000 and £20,000 you'll receive monthly interest payments of 3%. There is a £2 monthly fee on this account though and you'll need to pay in £500 a month, but worth it for the interest.
Finally, if you are prepared to take on more risk you could opt for an investment fund that pays a monthly income. These are few and far between but do exist. They aim to deliver a high income level by investing in a range of shares, cash and bonds.
The Schroder Monthly High Income fund yields 5.9% or the Jupiter Monthly Income yields 5.1% historically. The benefit here is not only do you get that monthly income you could also benefit from capital growth too. For example, the Jupiter Monthly Income fund has returned 38.8% over the past three years (that's capital growth and income payments combined).
Hold these in an ISA and you'll also avoid paying interest on your income and any capital gains.
This website brings travellers together with people offering a huge variety of places to stay in 190 countries. The spaces range from an air bed in someone's lounge, to a luxury holiday home, so you can search for something to suit your needs and price range.
Before you travel, you need to sign up, search the site for accommodation, contact the host, and if they approve you can book their space. It means, for example, you can book a two bedroom flat in London for £80 a night - which is cheaper per person than a hostel - and much more pleasant.
This service connects people looking for a lift with drivers offering them. In the UK it is only operating in London at the moment - but it is expanding.
The service works through a smartphone app. When you're out and about you can use the app to find a driver in your area, hail them at the push of a button, and track their progress in reaching you.
The rates start at £3 plus 32p per minute for travel under 11mph and £1.75 per mile if you're driving faster. The flat fares include Heathrow to West London for £30 - which is significantly cheaper than a traditional taxi. The service was seen as such a dangerous competitor to London's black cabs that they staged a protest in June.
This is a free shopping app, which lets you scan barcodes when you're shopping, and the app will do a price comparison for the same products in local shops and on websites. You can even buy it online through the app.
It will also let you scan products you have at home and find the cheapest local (or online) stockist.
This started life as a flight search website, and has expanded to include car hire and hotels too. It draws together the advertised flight prices from over 1,000 airlines and travel agents and displays them in one place to save you the legwork.
It isn't perfect, because it relies on the information provided by the agents, so if the agent is tweaking the headline rate and then reverts to a higher price when you enquire, you'll waste a bit of time with the agents. It's therefore worth checking reviews on the cheapest agents that come up before you go any further. The prices drawn direct from the airlines, meanwhile, tend to be accurate.
This is a clever site which is designed to help you get a cheap deal on Amazon.co.uk. It has a few features, which you can use together to make sure you always get a good deal from the site.
The first is the price history charts, which show how the price has changed over time, and how the current price compares. If the price is comparatively low you can just buy at that price. Alternatively, if it has risen recently, you can set a price alert, where you input a price you would be happy to pay, and you will receive an alert when the price drops to this level.
If you use a lot of data on your smartphone, onavo extend will help you dramatically cut the data you get through.
It is a compression app, which works in the background on services like sending and receiving emails, checking maps and browsing the web, and ensures it all uses less data (although it doesn't work on things like Skype or streaming video). It works by ensuring that before any data is sent to your device, it goes through the company's servers and is compressed.
It can cut the amount of data you use by up to 50%, which can help you keep within data limits and save you a fortune. It will also monitor how much data you actually use which will help you pick the most cost-effective plan.
When you call 0800 numbers from your mobile it's not free, and it's usually not counted as part of your monthly inclusive minutes, so you'll be charged extra for the call.
If you install the free 0800 Wizard app, you type in the 0800 number, and it will automatically re-route your call to an 01, 02 or 03 number instead. These cost the same as a standard local call, so will be part of your monthly package. If you don't have any minutes left it will be charged as a standard geographic number.
This website is designed to let you shop around without leaving your home. You can use it in whatever way suits you best. For the dedicated bargain-hunter, you can input everything you want to buy, find the supermarket where each item is cheapest, and spend the absolute minimum.
For those who need a bit more convenience, you can fill your trolley as normal through the site (and use the swap and save button to see if you can save by buying a different size or brand). A basket icon on the right hand side of the screen will show you the cost of the same shop at alternative supermarkets, so you can switch the whole lot over at the click of a button. And there's even a vouchers button you can use before you checkout to see if you can save more. The site claims that you'll save an average of £17 every time you shop using the site.
There are lots of voucher apps and websites out there, but one which is worth a look is vouchercloud. Whether you're shopping, eating out, going to the cinema or going for a drink with friends, you can use the location function of this app to find the best deals on offer near to where you are.
This site has been around for a while, but remains a vital tool. You can search for the cheapest petrol in your area - or the area you are visiting - so you can pay less for your fuel without going out of your way. It's free to sign up and you get 20 free searches a week. There's also a PetrolPrices Pro app, so you can check prices when you're on the road.

A while back we ordered a new starter from Euro Moto Electrics.
It weighs half as much as the original BOSCH starter. About 6lbs lighter to be exact.
As a result, it doesn’t require the rear mounting bracket the heavy Bosch starters need (#2 in Photo).
The starter itself has threads where it connects near the flywheel so no need for the original nuts. You simply install the bolts from the flywheel side, and tighten the starter to the engine housing.
I plan on keeping the extra plastic cover and wire ring that holds it in place (#10 and #11). It will help keep some of the clutch dust contained.

This haunted house may hit too close to home.
A Dallas-area man has decorated his yard with biohazard bins, caution tape, quarantine signs and donned a hazmat suit to create a hokey Halloween haunted house with an "Ebola" theme.
"There's negative people everywhere and they are going to give me grief about it but it's all in good fun," James Faulk told reporters Thursday as he stood in front of the faux Ebola quarantine unit, wearing his white outfit with a "CDC Trainee" nametag.
The University Park home sits just four miles from where the first patient diagnosed with Ebola on United States soil, Thomas Eric Duncan, died of the disease on Oct. 8.
Since then, two nurses who treated the 42-year-old Liberian national have contracted disease. Tests have since shown Amber Vinson, 29, is disease-free, though she remains hospitalized at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta, while 26-year-old nurse Nina Pham is receiving treatment at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Md.
And on Thursday, a New York City doctor recently returned from treating Ebola patients in Guinea was diagnosed with the disease and quarantined at Bellevue Hospital in Manhattan.
Dr. Craig Spencer's fiancee is also in isolation at Bellevue, while two friends have been ordered quarantined at home after direct contact with Spencer following his return 10 days earlier from the Ebola-ravaged West African nation.
Nearly 5,000 people have died of the latest Ebola outbreak dating back to December.
"It seems like people's skin gets thinner and thinner every day. Somebody's [always] complaining about something in the news. And it's just ridiculous. If they don't like it, change the channel. But it's gonna be on every channel," Faulk told KXAS-TV, with a laugh.
Faulk erected the decontamination domicile on Sunday and added on Thursday a banner reading "Happy Halloween." The homeowner admitted the decorations could come at a "too soon" moment, but he's not apologizing for "getting back to normal just a little bit."
"So the next step is: Let's have fun on Halloween and scare some people in the process," he said.

This is my website. I listen to music and talk about it.
This is the only page. All reviews will be posted in order, from newest to oldest.
Run the Jewels are back. In just over a year, they have released two of the best hip-hop albums in recent memory. On RTJ2, they recapture the overflowing energy and fun of their first album on the A side, and take a serious turn on side B with some of the best rap songs of the year. Mike and EL-P rap about everything from prison riots to police brutality to the pains of being a drug dealer. RTJ2 also features some of the best features of the year. Travis Barker provides an excellent beat on All Due Respect. Zach de la Rocha shows up on Close Your Eyes and delivers the best verse of his career, with clever references to Miles Davis and Phillip K Dick, and Gangsta Boo completely turns the song Love Again on its head.

HAMPTON, Va. - The Blackbeard Pirate Festival is bringing back fun for a lot of families in downtown Hampton June 2 - 4. However five years ago it wasn't all fun as a tornado went through the festival.
Participants told News 3 it's something they can look back and laugh about, but it wasn't a joking matter when it happened in 2012.
"I was very scared. I was scared for everybody," said pirate participant, Lady Hope.
It's a tornado the City of Hampton will never forget. It touched down and left the camp ground destroyed at Blackbeard Pirate Festival in 2012.
Pirate role players said it happened on the first night of the event.
"The tornado came right over the harbor down here and it landed right here in our camp," Lady Hope said.
Captain Dunkin McGyver has been coming to the festival for over 10 years and told News 3 he hasn't seen anything like it.
"Lights started to flicker and we were like, 'ah O.K. you know power issue or something.' We just had no idea that such a severe storm was heading in."
The tornado destroyed tents and belongings.
People recalled a handicap ramp being picked up in the height of the storm and damaged a nearby home.
McGyver added, "Big silver, aluminum, 800 pounds, it was picked up and tossed through the ridge beam of the roof from one of the adjacent town houses, and there was just a gaping hole."
Luckily no one got hurt during the storm, but participants and the City of Hampton worked through the night to put the festival back on schedule.
"The Salvation Army was out with the soup truck and they fed us breakfast," he continued. "Home Depot sent a team out. People with orange shirts to do whatever grunt work that needed to be done."
People who lived through the scary moment said they event wouldn't have continued through the weekend without teamwork.
The festival was just delayed two hours after the cleanup that Saturday.
Festival-goers tell News 3 the aftermath brought everyone involved with the cleanup together.

The exciting news was announced at the Television Critics Association summer press tour along with the additional scoop that Ike Barinholtz will be directing one of the episodes Messina is returning for.
Fans hoping for a rekindling of Mindy and Danny's relationship, however, might be a little disappointed. Executive producers Mindy Kaling and Matt Warburton are both aware that fans have been left with the sense that Danny and Mindy are "endgame" and that's where the show should reasonably head during its final season.
Kaling and Warburton didn't definitively rule out the idea, promising "clarity" on their relationship, but they also made sure to mention that both Danny and Mindy are married to other people now.
"They're always going to be in each other's life, they have a kid together," Warburton says. "It's great to see what that means this season."
"They co-parent, which has been really funny to write. It's been great to visit him again," Kaling says.
They also confirmed they've written a lot of "fun stuff" for Messina, which we assume means he'll be performing another shirtless dancing scene. Don't take that away from us.
The Mindy Project premieres Sept. 12th on Hulu.

6 Charged With Embezzling Millions From SF Schools
Six current and former San Francisco school district employees were charged Tuesday with embezzling about $15 million in grant money from the district, officials said.
The suspects face multiple felony grand theft and embezzlement counts for diverting federal and state grant money into hidden slush fund accounts through several nonprofits over a 10-year period, district attorney George Gascon and San Francisco Unified Schools Superintendent Richard Carranza announced at a news conference.
A three-year investigation found the six suspects, including a former associate superintendent and two former senior executives, used about $250,000 for personal expenses and another $500,000 for unauthorized salaries and bonuses, officials said.
About $6.7 million of the grant money went toward educational purposes, but not for what was specifically intended, Gascon said. One of the nonprofits involved even risked $250,000 in the stock market and lost, he said.
The scheme occurred during a period when the district faced a $113 million deficit, had to give layoff notices to teachers, and summer programs were being reduced or slashed altogether, Gascon added.
"We had people that were in positions of trust that were taking money, who were diverting this money for personal use," Gascon said. "This is one of the worst kinds of corruption."
About $4.7 million of the grant money has been recovered. The nonprofits charged about $1.2 million in administrative fees during that period, Gascon said.
"We are mortified at the thought that trusted employees would conceive of such a scheme to divert funds from the children for whom they are intended," said Carranza, who participated in the district’s probe in 2010 while he was a deputy superintendent.
Those facing charges include former associate superintendent Trish Bascom; former senior executive directors Linda Sue Lovelace and Meyla Ruwin; former principal administrative analyst Lilian Capuli; former assistant principal Mychel Navales and Betty Wong, a typist.
The suspects were expected to turn themselves in by Wednesday and could be arraigned as early as Thursday, prosecutors said. The investigation is ongoing.

A survey conducted in Collin County, Texas in 2004 brought to light that 11.6% of the population over 5 years of age suffers from disabilities. This fact alone highlights the need for facilities specializing in the needs of these individuals in the North Texas region. The vision of an existing facility in Collin County, and its Board of Trustees, was to create a community where special needs individuals can live, work, and play. MESA collaborated with the client to transform this vision into a reality. The campus plan design incorporates all the elements necessary for a self-sustaining community. The community is divided into 3 different zones of privacy for security purposes. The retail component and chapel are located adjacent to a major thoroughfare to increase visibility and access for the public. South of the retail and chapel a natural draw from the existing lake creates a transitional buffer into the semi-public area; where the administrative complex, vocational workshops, enterprise zone, equestrian center, dining hall, indoor recreation, nursing facility, and maintenance buildings are located. Moving into the private section of the campus at the covered bridge, located on the southern draw of the lake, the resident housing is strategically placed on a natural ridge for views across the lake towards the chapel. The resident complex is complete with walking trails and community parks as well as an outdoor recreation facility. The entire campus resides on a tract of land of approximately 80 acres with natural features that have been exemplified in the design.


“Political Influence and the Allocation of Government Spending”
Coautoreado con Joonkyu Choi y Veronika Penciakova
Abstract: We explore the role of political connections in accounting for the allocation of government spending across different firms. We find that federal-level lobbying activities and procurement spending are highly concentrated towards large firms, while small and medium-sized firms account for a sizable share of state-level campaign finance contributions and grant spending. To investigate the causal relationship between corporate political activity and government expenditure, we exploit a unique identification opportunity provided by the 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. For state grant allocations, we exploit ex-post close elections for state legislators and firms’ campaign finance contributions. For federal contract allocation, we exploit firm lobbying specifically on ARRA and matching on firm characteristics. For both grants and contracts, we find sizable and causal impact of stronger political connections at the firm-level on receiving more and larger government contracts. Using federal contracting data, we also find that lobbying is associated with inefficient contract outcomes, including delays in delivery and cost overruns.

Ah, the memories — not to mention a few that would be best not to revisit (no offense, William Hung). American Idol calls it quits on Thursday, April 7, after crowning its season 15 winner, and Us Weekly is taking a look back at the long-running Fox competition series’ best and worst moments since its 2002 debut.
No list of Idol highlights is complete without acknowledging some of the countless breathtaking musical performances by its stars-in-the-making over the years, including Kelly Clarkson, Fantasia Barrino, Carrie Underwood, Jennifer Hudson and Adam Lambert.
Another favorite part of the show for many fans was hearing Simon Cowell‘s biting quips, without which the show might not have succeeded.
Of course, the less-exemplary performances often added to the experience as well. Many a watercooler conversation got started over season 6 finalist Sanjaya Malakar‘s surprising ability to stick around, not to mention his idiosyncratic hairstyles.
Watch some of the show’s thrilling highs and cringeworthy lows in the video above.
American Idol‘s series finale airs on Fox Thursday, April 7, at 8 p.m. ET.

Eight SuperDraco thrusters, positioned around the perimeter of the vehicle in pairs called “jet packs”, fired up simultaneously to raise the Crew Dragon spacecraft for a five-second hover, generating approximately 33,000 lbs of thrust before returning the vehicle to its resting position, at the company’s test facility in McGregor, Texas.
This test was the second of a two-part milestone under NASA’s Commercial Crew Program. The first test—a short firing of the engines intended to verify a healthy propulsion system—was completed November 22, and the longer burn two-days later demonstrated vehicle control while hovering.
SpaceX envisions returning people to Earth from space on the power of thrust instead of beneath parachutes. Working with NASA’s Commercial Crew Program, SpaceX is in the early phases of analysis.
Propulsive landing will not be used initially for missions with NASA astronauts to the International Space Station. The Crew Dragon will splash down safely in the ocean under parachutes as its passengers return from the space station.

Dussmann Food Services took on responsibility for food service at the new DFB campus in Frankfurt in March 2022
“We do the usual, we just do an outstanding job at it,” says Oliver Vellage, Southwest Regional Manager at Dussmann, looking into the spacious and bright lobby of the recently opened DFB campus and toward his food services team. Their elegantly sporty matte black polo shirts feature bright yellow jersey numbers, making them reminiscent of the tactical positioning of a soccer team.
Who has a 1 on their back? Ulf Kleinert. He is the property manager and “goalie.” His job is to make sure everything in the area of food services goes smoothly in the DFB building, which occupies some 50,000 square meters, and that his team in service and the kitchen work hand in hand. His service crew members with the jersey number 5 work at the public sports bar (capacity 70) at the main entrance, serving up sincere hospitality and taking care of all the culinary wishes of the nearly 600 administrative employees of the DFB and the many figures from the world of sports who are guests here every day.
Korbinian Friedmann, 28, is one of the “liberos” who roam the field almost 24/7, forming the backbone of the team. Friedmann holds the position of Junior Operations Manager at Dussmann Food Services, supporting the service team in all their tasks. Right now, he is in the DFB’s modern press conference room, checking to make sure all the tables are properly set with beverages and finger food for snacks. In addition to the day-to-day business in the sports bar and the employee restaurant, which serves several hundred meals a day, the Dussmann team is also responsible for the conference catering side of things, which takes place in 40 workshop rooms. Friedmann adds, “We also serve many high-level events. In late July, for example, we prepared lunch packs for the players, the coaching team, and the DFB delegates for the reception at Frankfurt’s city hall honoring the German women’s team, who had just placed second in the European championships.” The next highlight of the calendar is coming in fall 2022, when about 600 guests are invited to a reception to mark the drawing of the qualification groups for the 2024 European championships.
The menus are designed by the Dussmann team, whic works in an office on one of the administrative floors. While DFB experts work diligently on new IT projects in the neighboring offices to his left and right, the team crafts new culinary menus for athletes and DFB employees. Just like in the midfield, good team play is crucial in the DFB Academy kitchen. The kitchen crew here has a bright yellow 8 on their jerseys.
A look at the menu for the employee restaurant and bistro
shows that the food concept at the DFB Academy is based on local German cuisine – with a fresh, light, and healthy take provided by the Dussmann Food Services team. Although the majority of diners do prefer plant-based options, classics like schnitzel and currywurst are a must at the three main course buffet stations at regular intervals, always sourced locally. “We also get regular advice from nutrition experts via the DFB campus,” Sascha Groß, Head of Food Services Region Southwest, explains.
During the bidding for the DFB catering contract in January 2021, the Dussmann Food Services team scored special points for its individual dining concept that balances nutrition and home economics while putting freshness front and center. “Our kitchen team makes everything in-house, from pasta to dressing. The only thing we buy from outside is our bread, which comes from a bakery in Frankfurt. At the same time, we try to process all our food residue optimally. When it comes to vegetables, we manage that 100 percent,” Vellage explains, adding, “The Dussmann Food Service Innovation Lab has been working on sustainable nutrition for a long time. We know that resources are finite.”

10 June 2019
Jason Taumalolo can’t wait to put on the Tonga jersey again to face the Kiwis in June, with the former Dally M winner opening up about what the clash at Mt Smart Stadium will mean to him and his family.
The highly anticipated clash on June 22 is the first between the two Pacific rivals since Tonga upset the Kiwis 28-22 during the 2017 Rugby League World Cup.
That historic result, the first time a tier-two nation had beaten a tier-one nation, came after Taumalolo became the most high-profile Kiwis player to defect to Tonga prior to the tournament.
“For myself, being an Auckland-born Tongan, I was born in Auckland and grew up being raised as a Tongan, for my family to see me now not forgetting where I’m from and getting to represent my roots, that’s what it’s all about for me,” he said.
“Whenever I get the chance to represent my family I will 100 per cent do it with all my heart.”
Taumalolo believed Tonga had the talent to beat New Zealand, Australia, and England but wouldn’t go as far as saying Mate Ma‘a Tonga now ranked with the tier-one nations.
“I don’t know if we’ve proven that yet (being a tier-one nation), obviously playing New Zealand will a pretty good statement so for us to at least be a tier-one we have to be consistent in winning those big games.”
“We have players that are capable of winning big games against New Zealand and Australia and England, now it’s all about putting it together now.”
“The biggest part is having players obviously stay with Tonga, there’s obviously Origin and New Zealand as the biggest temptation but I’m not too worried about that.”
“For us, it’s all about playing together and getting more playing time together and eventually go on from there.”
“It’s probably the best camp (the Tongan camp) I’ve been a part of and the boys always look forward to getting into camp and obviously playing alongside each other and that’s what makes it pretty special and to obviously carry on that group from 2017 World Cup is something that everyone wants.”
Taumalolo still could not quite believe the way the fans had supported Mate Ma’a Tonga in the last two years.
“We obviously didn’t think we’d get that big of a following that World Cup and for that New Zealand game (in 2017), the way they turned out and supported was nothing we’ve ever had before.”
“For us it’s about that feeling of belonging, obviously we all come from different families, but we all have that Tongan blood in us I guess
For us to represent a proud country and culture, what we’re about, that’s what makes it special.
“Whenever they’re cheering or singing their hymns and that that definitely gives the boys a lift so hopefully, they do the same for the Kiwis game.”
