Microstructure and Grain Refining Performance of High-Quality Al–5Ti–1B Master Alloy
The chemical composition, microstructure, and grain refining performance of high-quality Al–5Ti–1B master alloy were investigated. The results show that the content of alloying elements Ti and B in the Al–5Ti–1B master alloy is stable. The content of impurity elements Fe, Si, V, and K is very low. The microstructure of Al–5Ti–1B master alloy is uniform, fine and no oxide inclusions. The average size of TiAl3 and TiB2 phases is 16.7 and 0.73 µm, respectively. By adding 0.2 wt% Al–5Ti–1B master alloy, the grain size of pure Al has been refined to 75.7 µm, showing an excellent grain refining efficiency, strong ability to anti-fading and good adaption to a wide range of aluminum-melt temperature.

Hot on the heels of the one-of-a-kind IWC Big Pilot’s Watch Muhammad Ali Edition comes another re-styled edition of their acclaimed aviation timepiece, the IWC Big Pilot's Watch Edition DFB which although a limited edition, will be produced in a much more attainable issue of 250 pieces. "DFB" is the German Football Association which means that this piece will be part of the National Team's kit when they take part in the EURO 2012 Championship.
In tribute to the team's colours, the piece features black indices, and flashes of red on the small seconds hand and on the power reserve indicator, all of which tones in rather nicely with the rhodium-plated sun-ray finished dial. The stainless steel case measures a conspicuous 46mm across with convex sapphire on the front and a solid caseback with special edition engraving on the back.
Inside is the automatic Calibre 51011, producing a full 7 days of power reserve from its Pellaton Winding System which has been in use since 1946 and is named in honour of its creator, Albert Pellaton.
This is the third timepiece which IWC have developed in partnership with the Deutscher Fußball-Bund and like the previous editions, some of the proceeds from the sale of each piece will help support the Laureus Sport For Good Foundation projects in Germany.

HYDERABAD: The Hindu community in Matiari district took to the streets on Sunday to express their outrage over the alleged kidnapping of a minor Hindu girl and against the police who were blamed for delaying her early recovery. Hundreds of protesters from the community gathered for a demonstration in Hala town. The community's traders also kept their businesses shut.
Monika Luhano, 11, a student of class six, was abducted by four men from her father's residence on Friday. The Hala police station registered an FIR on complaint of her brother, Pushpal Luhano, who nominated Mushtaq Mahar, son of a government school teacher Sabit Ali Mahar, and three others in the FIR.
"Mushtaq and three others, all armed, entered our house and took away my sister. When we resisted, they warned that we would be shot dead," Pushpal had claimed.
According to him, before the kidnapping incident, Mushtaq used to stalk his sister by following her in the street of their residence. He had claimed that he warned the suspects against wandering on their street a few times. The local Hindu Panchayat and the Hindu traders had joined the family in a protest and surrounded the police station before registration of the FIR on Saturday.
In their chants, they had demanded the recovery of the girl and punishment for the alleged kidnapper while demanding security for their community living in Hala. Meanwhile, Hala SHO Shakil Ahmed Rind had assured the protesters that the police would arrest the suspect and requested them to disperse.
Seth Nand Kumar, a representative of the community, complained while talking to the media that the police have failed to recover the girl even three days after the incident. He expressed fear that the underage girl may be forced into marriage with the kidnapper. He had warned of a stronger reaction across the province if Monika is not recovered. The community did not send their daughters to school on Saturday.
Kundan Lal said renewed fears about safety of their daughters have gripped their community after the incident. He deplored that the police appeared helpless in recovering the girl.
The police raided on Saturday the residence of Mushtaq and detained the suspect's father and some other persons. However, the four suspects and the girl were not found at the residence, according to the SHO.
The protesters appealed to Sindh IG Kaleem Imam to task the recovery of the kidnapped girl to a special team of police officers.
The Sindh Child Marriages Restraint Act, 2013, has declared the marriage of young people of under 18 years of age as an offence. The persons solemnising such a marriage are punishable under the Act. Monika was enrolled in Government Girls Primary School, Makhdoom Rafique Zaman.

Integration of Identities In The Post-Pandemic Workplace
Technological and economic innovations significantly changed the job market by making it possible to work from almost anywhere. During the COVID-19 pandemic, work remote has increased drastically. To examine the influence of such changes on the boundaries between identities, we focus on Boundary theory that define two strategies: integration and segmentation of identities. Based on this, we predict that today people have more integrated identities than differentiated compared to the pre COVID-19. We examine this by three studies: (1) 20 qualitative interviews with social network users, which are a platform for expressing identities, to understand the motivations to use social networks; (2) an online survey among 240 LinkedIn users, which is a platform for the expression of professional identity. The results indicated that the functional motivation predicted the preference to use LinkedIn; (3) big-data analysis using data extracted from LinkedIn to examine whether people integrate rather than segment their identities.

I want to tell you guys about the art of Sketchbooking and what it means to different people. A great book that could inform oneself of what others are thinking when they sketch is a book called: An Illustrated Life by Danny Gregory.
This book is a phenomenal resource to see how different artists are affected by their own sketchbooks. For some of them they mention the different processes of what they do in their books, inspirations, how they use it and even what it means to them.
There was one entry that I read that was talking about how their sketchbook was a place of therapy for them. They felt as though without their books they were no one. They were naked and barren. There are even entries of what specific books the artists buy. Some prefer cheap-o paper where as other like the feel of a thicker paper. They mention that with cheaper paper quality, their mind makes them feel more at ease and care-free about making a finished sketch. Personally, I found this to be quite true. Because when you do have more expensive paper, you feel as though you are obligated to make a good finished sketch on that piece of paper.
Think of it this way, the cheap paper is like going on a casual date, where as the expensive paper is more of going out to a fancy restaurant and investing more time. The use of certain materials is also another factor that they point out. I can recall from one entry there was an artist that said they prefer sketching on cheap paper and using a ball point pen. If you think about those materials, they are extremely cheap and are so easy to find. It also reinforces even more the idea of being care-free.
Not only do the artists tell you about the materials and what types of sketchbooks they buy, but something else that you find in the book is that there are a few artists that actually make their books. They get into bookbinding and figuring out what type of paper they are most happy with. Sometimes according to them the paper that store sketchbooks provide are just unsatisfactory for the artists, so they compose their own books and buy the paper that they want to use.
Even after all of the great advice that you can take from them, you also get the opportunity to check out pictures of their own personal sketchbooks. There are a wide variety of techniques that no matter what type of artist you are you will find someone that appeals to you.
I personally highly recommend this book if you are specifically an illustrator, but if you are any artist join in the fun.
So many great things to learn so little time!!!

The principle and characteristics of hydroseeding
Spraying and planting grass on guest soil is currently an advanced new technology for greening. This technology complies with the laws of nature and sprays organic soil substrates and other materials in proportion and thickness on the slopes that have been fixed with wire mesh in advance, and then sprays grass on them, making it difficult to use other methods. The stone slope surface for growing plants achieves the purpose of greening and solidifying the slope. The characteristics of this technology are as follows:
Advanced science of technology
Greening on the stone slope cannot be done overnight, it must be done in three steps in a cyclical manner; one step is to fix the wire mesh on the stone slope; Such substrates provide the prerequisite soil conditions for plant growth; three steps, implement hydraulic spraying and planting grass. Therefore, this is a complete set of advanced grass planting technology.
Operability of implementation
This technology faces the reality that the rough stone crossing the slope cannot be directly greened, and invests realistically to artificially establish the conditions for plant growth on the slope. In addition, the technical materials are easy to obtain, the construction is standardized, the greening effect is good, and the effect of beautifying the road environment and solid slope is achieved, and it has good operability and practical value.

Closing Delays and How to avoid them
Whether you are buying or selling a property, it’s important to understand that there can be delays in a real estate closing. A closing delay is something you want to avoid. There are several reasons possession may not be possible on the date you have on your purchase agreement. Sometimes upexpected or negleted items occur and nobody wants to be left homeless on their possession date.
REALTORS® are aware of these delays (because we don't get paid until after possession day), we help our clients avoid closing delays for a smooth transaction and a happy buying and selling experience. Below is a list of possible closing delays.
You choose the wrong lawyer
Not all lawyers are familiar with real estate transactions and this can cause delays in the transfer of title. At EdmontonHousesAndHomes, we encourage our clients using real estate lawyers.
Unreal closing dates
Unlike other provinces in Canada, Alberta's land title transfer process begins prior to you meeting with your lawyer. In the province of Alberta, it takes time to process a the title of a property to another person. This time frame will vary according to the market and land titles processing time. As a rule of thumb - a good closing date is 1-2 months after you write your offer to purchase.
Your bank revokes your mortgage
Yes. This does happen. The bank has the right to secure their mortgage and in the event that something changed, such as a job loss or the buyer also purchased a vechicle, changing their debt-ratio, the bank can pull your mortgage. REALTORS® will remind their clients not to make any big purchases until they recieve their house keys.
Real Estate Appraisal Issues
Sometimes (usually in a busy market), the bank did not send out the appraiser prior to telling you your mortgage has been approved. If the property does not appraise out at your offer price or higher, the bank can refuse to forward funds, the seller will need to reduce the price of the property or the buyer must come up with the diffence between the offer price and the appraised value.
Terms or contingiencies of the contract
If you have a walk through term written into your agreement and you find out the terms after the contract have not been fullfilled, this can be considered a breach of contract. These items could be as simple as the seller removing the dog feces in the back yard to more substantial issues such as a builder not finishing the completion or repairs. It is always best to have a walk through clause written into the offer prior to the buyer removing their conditions.
Problems with the title
Edmonton REALTORS® are obligated to pull title when they are writing an offer to ensure the persons selling the property is correct as well as ensuring there is enough equity in the property to be sold. Sometimes, prior to closing, after conditions have been removed, the seller has taken out a second or third mortgage and there is not enough equity to close. If this happens, there is major liablity issues that your lawyer will discuss.
The RPR does not have compliance
In the REALTORS® purchase agreements, there is a cluse reguarding the real property report and compliance which the seller has signed and agreed to. In the event the seller does not have compliance, there is an issue. A common one is when the seller has change the deck or a non-movable shed had been added to the property.
Homeowner insurance is not secure
The buyers lawyer will ask the buyer to bring in the insurance binder. This is basically a peice of paper saying the buyer has insurance on the property. If there is no insurance, the bank can not forward the mortgage funds.
If either the buyer or the seller does not have enough cash to close, there's a problem. Read more on closing costs.
When writing an offer to purchase, the terms, conditiond, amendments and addendums must be crystal clear to avoid misunderstandings. The interpatation of the buyers lawyer may not be the same as the sellers lawyer. If the written phrase is not cytal clear, have your REALTORS® re-write it in lamens terms.
The buyer changes their mind
During the last Edmonton real estate crash, we seen this happen often due to the crashing real estate prices and buyers did not want to pay the agreed amount when the value of the property had substantially decreased. In our REALTORS® contracts, there are items put in place with the consequnces of such action. To avoid this in a soft market, be reasonable with your negotitaions. - The buyer can walk away.
The seller is unable to vacate on time
Alberta REALTOR® purchase contracts state that the property must be vacant by noon on the day of possession. However, sometimes the seller is still in the property due to circumstance beyond their controll. If this happens, it is a breach of contract. The best thing do is take your lawyers advice, there is some conpensation.
Not working with a qualified REALTOR®
The majority of Edmonton Remax REALTORS® have closed hundreds and hundreds (some have closed thousands) of real estate transactions. Using an experienced REALTOR® can be the differnce between being homeless and a seemless closing.
We pride ourselves on helping our clients with a smooth real estate transaction and a great buying and selling experience. If you or thinking about buying or selling and need experienced Edmonton Remax REALTORS®, email us. We are here to help.

Use the search to find what you are looking for
To keep up with all studies is particularly difficult given the extreme heterogeneity (clinical, pathologic, cancer types) of the CUP syndrome and the lack of consistency of thinking by CUP experts and investigators. In recent years and even months there are three main clinical themes at play:
• The first is diagnosis of the cancer type in CUP (not the anatomical primary site) is critical to optimal therapy for each patient and should be site-specific therapy similar to the approach used world- wide for patients with known advanced cancer types in which the anatomic primary site is known. Many oncologists/hospitals etc. do not use all the tools we now have to determine the cancer type, but if done the specific cancer type could be determined in 90-95% of all CUP patients.
• The second theme is the use of next generation sequencing (comprehensive molecular profiling) of a biopsy specimen looking for actionable genetic alterations which may be targeted with appropriate drugs. Comprehensive molecular profiling cannot determine the specific cancer type except for rare exceptions.
• The third theme is immunotherapy mainly now with immune checkpoint blockers and this is related closely to the second theme since we have now have several markers in cancer cells which can predict a favorable response to these checkpoint blockers.
• Studies with empiric chemotherapy as one size fits all are disappearing and rightfully.
Most of the “important” ongoing studies shown below are based on one or more of these themes. The trials shown below are those that the CUP Foundation knows about, but there will be others. We are always pleased to receive new or updated information.
This is an international Phase II trial taking place now in 33 countries. Now closed – findings expected Autumn 2023. All patients screened on or prior to 31 Oct 2022 will continue in the study as usual.
There are 10 centres in the UK . The aim is to recruit around 790 patients worldwide with 76 people from the UK. More comprehensive details of the trial for clinicians and interested patients – including worldwide centres – are shown here on clinical trials.gov

This is a Phase II, Two‐Stage, Trial of Pembrolizumab in Cancer of Unknown Primary.
Doctors normally treat CUP with chemotherapy but this trial uses an immunotherapy drug instead. Pembrolizumab, can help the immune system to detect and fight cancer cells.
The immune system is the body’s natural defence system and it sends certain types of cells, called T cells, throughout the body to detect and fight infections and diseases—including cancer. However, cancer cells may use the PD-1 (programmed death receptor -1) pathway to hide from T cells and this stops T cells from attacking cancer cells thus allowing the cancer to grow and spread. Pembrolizumab works by blocking the PD‐1 pathway.
The aim of this study is to:
CUPem has two cohorts:
The intention is to recruit 77 patients (20 patients to Cohort 1 and 57 patients to Cohort 2. As at mid Nov 2020, the trial is close to reaching the maximum number for Cohort 1 patients but is open for Cohort 2.
The treatment period is made up of 3‐week cycles. During each cycle, the patient will receive 200mg of Pembrolizumab by intravenous infusion every 3 weeks.
The trial hospitals are:
You do not have to live in London to be accepted onto the trial but you will need to be able to travel to London for treatment.

This study aims to look at CUP tumours in more detail to understand better the spread of the cancer and potentially find the tumour origins. Participants would be asked to agree to have samples of their tumours taken after death as well as blood to supplement samples taken during diagnosis and treatment. Even from only a small number of participants studies such as this enable a wealth of unique, detailed information about a tumour including genetic changes, tumour environment and immune interactions and may reveal why the tumours origins have remained unknown. Results from this study will not directly benefit the participants but will contribute to greater understanding of CUP tumours for future patients.
Further information can be obtained by emailing the-[email protected]
funded by NCRI/CRUK and co-ordinated by the CRUK Clinical Trials Unit in Glasgow. There are more details here. The study is in two parts: the aim of the first (translational) part is to prospectively validate new tools in diagnosis (including molecular profiling, metabonomics of blood and urine for response and toxicity prediction and a proposed immunohistochemistry classifier). The hope is that, in the future, scientists can find a diagnostic indicator of the primary site simply, rather than trying a whole barrage of investigations. Patients in whom a primary site is not identified can then be entered into the second (clinical) part of the trial. This part aims to establish the efficacy of the ECX chemo regimen (ECX stands for the drugs: Epirubicin, Cisplatin and Capecitabine) with and without Vandetanib (an inhibitor of different intracellular signaling pathways involved in tumour growth, progression, and angiogenesis). The treatment will last initially for 3 months and there will be subsequent monitoring. Patients can withdraw from the trial at any time without giving a reason. The trial may help in the future with selecting the best chemotherapy for patients with CUP. Overall, this study should allow a more logical framework to be derived, both clinically and biologically, as to how highly metastatic cancers may be efficiently and economically investigated and managed in the future. It will be some years before the findings are available from this trial.

CUP biology. Study in Greece on CUP biology as part of a multinational TCGA study. 25 patients with CUP managed at cancer centers affiliated with HeCOG (Hellenic Cooperative Oncology Group), whose formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tumour blocks and clinicopathological data are stored in the Department of Medical Oncology, University of Ioannina. FFPE biopsies from another 25 patients with metastatic solid tumours (lung, breast, colorectal, pancreatic, cholangiocarcinoma) will be studied as a control population.
GEFCAPI 04 (a la carte) NOW CLOSED
ThisPhase III trial began in 2010 under the auspices of the Groupe d’Etude des Carcinomes de Primitifs Inconnus (GEFCAPI) with the co-operation of investigators from the Netherlands, Denmark, and Sweden.. The study is a phase III randomized trial with the aim of demonstrating the superiority of a molecular analysis-oriented treatment versus empiric chemotherapy in patients with CUP. After accrual, patients will be randomized to receive: either the Cisplatin-Gemcitabine regimen (arm A) – or a treatment considered as standard at the time of patient inclusion based on the primary cancer suspected by the Pathwork Tissue Of Origin® Test, which may consist in a chemotherapy regimen and/or a so-called targeted therapy (arm B).
The majority of CUP trials take place in the USA and those shown below are illustrative. There are 2 large studies in the United States accruing patients with any type of advanced cancer including CUP which are match trials requiring comprehensive molecular profiling of a biopsy and matching potentially actionable genetic alterations with a number of targeted drugs. These trials are ongoing. The 1st is sponsored by the National Cancer Institute (MATCH TRIAL) and the 2nd by the American Society of Clinical Oncology(ASCO)-the Targeting Agent and Profiling Utilization Registry (TAPUR TRIAL).
At the Sarah Cannon Research Institute
• In progress. A large retrospective review of greater than 1000 CUP patients all having had a molecular cancer classifier assay (usually the 92-gene RT-PCR assay CancerTYPE ID) performed on their biopsies since 2008. Sarah Cannon are evaluating the specific cancer types diagnosed (more than 30) and looking at their clinical features, pathology including IHC and their therapies/outcomes.
• In planning for 2018 – a study evaluating immunotherapy with a combination of immune checkpoint blockers (CTLA-4 and PD-1 inhibitors) in CUP patients. This will initially evaluate 40 patients in approximately 15 sites. Molecular testing to determine the cancer type as well as comprehensive molecular profiling and PD-L1 evaluation of the biopsy specimens will be accomplished. Tumor mutation burden (TMD) and other molecular markers associated with improved response to immune checkpoint blockers will be assessed and response, PFS and overall survival will be correlated with the cancer type and molecular findings.
SUPER – Solving Unknown Primary cancER.
Sponsor: Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre, Melbourne, Australia.
This is a prospective cohort study to create a national information resource and improve the understanding of the molecular biology, clinical, quality of life and psychosocial characteristics of patients with Cancer of Unknown Primary (CUP). The information resource is a national cohort of CUP patients with associated biospecimens, clinical, quality of life, health economic and psychosocial data. The study is currently active and will recruit 300 patients from eleven metropolitan and regional sites across Australia. The study is recruiting participants in Victoria, New South Wales, South Australia, the Northern Territory and the Australian Capital Territory. As part of the SUPER team’s larger body of work, current research accessing the samples collected as part of this study will look to determine the frequency of clinically actionable mutations in CUP tumour samples and evaluate the impact of performing molecular diagnostic tests and feedback of results to influence clinical care of CUP patients.
The SUPERDx is a site-of-origin test newly developed by the SUPER team at the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre. Using existing data from our own, and other studies, we have derived a gene signature that is used to predict the site-of-origin of an unknown tumour sample. We currently use this test, alongside next generation sequencing mutation profiling, to potentially direct more tailored treatment. The clinical utility of these results is being measured by the impact of this information on clinical decision-making and patient outcomes. The project also seeks to establish reliable estimates for quality of life and psychosocial needs across the CUP illness trajectory and to identify similarities and differences between CUP and advanced cancer patients with a known primary from baseline to 12-month follow-up. The long-term objectives of this project are to: significantly improve the diagnostic assessment of CUP patients, integrate new treatment approaches based on molecular therapeutics and likely site of origin, and develop tailored supportive care intervention programs for patients with CUP.
Fudan University. Phase III study (2017-2020) designed to evaluate the value of tissue-of-origin (ORIGIN-PanCA○R) profiling in predicting primary site and directing therapy in patients with cancer of unknown primary.

Blueberry leaves can halt hepatitis C virus
Washington: A chemical in blueberry leaves halts reproduction of the hepatitis C virus (HCV), which infects 200 million people worldwide and can eventually lead to cirrhosis and liver cancer. Currently, there is no vaccine for HCV, and though a combination drug regimen can clear HCV infection, this treatment is only about 60 percent effective and poses risks of severe side effects. Hiroaki Kataoka and colleagues at the University of Miyazaki (U-M) in Japan believed that since HCV is localised in the liver and can take 20 years or more to develop into disease, a dietary supplement might help slow or stop disease progression. So they screened nearly 300 different agricultural products for potential compounds that suppress HCV replication and uncovered a strong candidate in the leaves of rabbit-eye blueberry (native to the southeastern US). They purified the compound and identified it as proanthocyandin (a polyphenol similar to the beneficial chemicals found in grapes and wine). Similar chemicals are found in many edible plants, suggesting it should be safe as a dietary supplement. Researchers now hope to explore the detailed mechanisms of how this chemical stops HCV replication. These findings appeared in Friday's edition of the Journal of Biological Chemistry. (Agencies)

Obesity is an excessive fat accumulation in human body. Normally, fat should be 25%-30% in women and 18%-23% in men. In contrast, women with over 30% body fat and men with over 25% body fat are considered obese. In humans, certain amounts of fat are necessary to store energy, heat insulation, shock absorption and other functions.
Obesity patients are at higher risk of suffering diseases like high blood pressure, heart attack, stroke, diabetes, gallbladder disease, and different cancers. The probable cause of obesity is consuming excess calories.
- Breathing disorders like sleep apnea and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
- Cancers like prostate and bowel cancer in men, breast and uterine cancer in women.
- Coronary heart disease.
- Gallbladder or liver diseases.
- Gastro Esophageal Reflux Disease (GERD).
- High blood pressure.

Brisbane certainly isn’t lacking in beautiful bridges across the city. And next year, we’re due to cop another one, which will be perfect for walking and cycling on. Oh, and for taking in the views of course. Kangaroo Point Green Bridge will be car-free, featuring an overwater bar and restaurant.
Even though it’s too soon to say what kind of eatery and drinking spot we’ll be treated to on the 460 metre-long bridge, it will be the first Brisbane bridge to have a bar and restaurant built in. This is pretty epic in itself and sounds like it will be a hit among locals and visitors once it’s completed. It’ll run from the corner of Alice Street and Edward Street across to Scott Street at Kangaroo Point.
Kangaroo Point Green Bridge isn’t the only bridge that Brisbane City Council has in development either. In fact, there are three bridges on top of this one that are in the works: two in West End and one stretching from Albion to Newstead. This means Brisbane can truly continue to thrive as the city will all the pretty bridges. Are we mad about that? Absolutely not.

What makes us human? is the last project we did last 2017.
This installation performance takes the public on a journey that dives into the perspective of identity; how we see ourselves and one another, how we want to see ourselves in the future…. Essentially, what makes us all human or inhumane? Through presence, physicality and consciousness we attempt to shake and question the viewer; to prompt the participant to consider their choices in life, the impact their decisions may have on others or how it will influence their environment.
This installation is multidisciplinary, where visuals, dancers, actors and an original a soundtrack will take the most active part. The public was asked to interact with performers, public and the installation itself.
Freie Waldorfschule Ulm Römerstraße collaborated with us through the Moving KIDS project, founded by crowdfunding. 32 children from this school will take part on this experience directed by Pablo Sansalvador, Cecilia Espejo and Daniela Molina Garfias (Moving kids co-producer)
We were proud to have our ‚What makes us human?‘ performance funded by Stadt Ulm Ulm – Deine Stadt.

Objective: American Indian (AI) women living in the Northern Plains have high incidence and mortality rates for cervical cancer. We assessed risk factors for human papillomavirus (HPV) infection among AI and White women.
Methods: We tested cervical samples for HPV infection obtained from women ages 18-65 years attending 2 rural AI reservation clinics in South Dakota (n=235) and an urban clinic serving predominantly White women (n=246). Patients self-reported information on HPV risk factors. We used percentages and chi-square tests to compare risk factors, and logistic regression with HPV status as the outcome to quantify the association between HPV and risk factors.
Results: AI women had more risk factors than White women, including younger age, less education, less vegetable consumption, more sexual partners, younger age at first sexual experience and first pregnancy, and more pregnancies (p values≤0.003). AI women more often endorsed recreational drug use, history of sexually transmitted diseases, and current smoking; White women reported more alcohol consumption (p values<0.001). In multivariate analysis, younger age and current smoking were associated with higher odds of HPV infection in AI women, whereas a higher number of sexual partners was associated with higher odds of HPV infection in White women.
Conclusions: AI women have a high burden of risk factors for HPV disease, and associations with HPV infection appear to differ by community. Knowledge of specific risk factors in AI populations may provide targets for public health officials to decrease HPV infection and disease.

Graham Jarvis snatches 6th victory in the 14th edition of the Red Bull Romaniacs — the world’s toughest hard enduro rallye.
The veteran trials bike champion and celebrated extreme Enduro rider just proved to everyone that age is just a number. The Husqvarna mounted Jarvis has made history today as he made himself the rider with most wins in Red Bull Romaniacs, solidifying the title of the greatest Enduro rider of all time.
After a comfortable fourth in Tuesday’s prologue, Jarvis got down to business once the race hit the mountains.
Despite some insanely difficult trails, and with many riders dropping like flies during the week, Jarvis won the opening three days of racing to set himself up for the win.
Easing off on the final day, to see Manuel Lettenbichler take a debut stage win, Jarvis cruised his way into the finishing arena to lock down the 2017 Red Bull Romaniacs win.
“Six times a winner, it’s unbelievable,” told Jarvis. “I never imagined when I started over 10 years ago I’d have won six.
“Everyone was on top form all week and I’ve had to up my game a lot just to take the title — it’s getting harder every year for sure!”
With Jarvis toping the podium, Mario Roman claimed second provisionally — in only his second attempt at the race and Paul Bolton completed the podium — for the first time — in third.“I knew winning was out of the question so I took no risk. I’m so happy with with second,” told Roman. “Thanks to everyone at Sherco for making this result possible.”“Ten years waiting, it’s taken a ling time, it doesn’t feel real, but I’ve final got there,” told Bolton.
With his first stage win secured, Lettenbichler rounded out the top four while Travis Teadale placed fifth.

Newcastle boss Rafael Benitez had no qualms about handing Jonjo Shelvey the captain's armband on his return from suspension for using racially-aggravated language towards an opponent.
Shelvey was the architect of the Magpies' 3-1 FA Cup third round replay victory over Birmingham on Tuesday night having sat out five games after being convicted of a Football Association misconduct charge.
However, Benitez did not think twice about naming Shelvey, who denied the charge, as his skipper.
The Spaniard said: "No, because I said before when we had the hearing and everything that for us, it was a surprise.
"In the way that they were going on, it was a surprise that some players of the other team can say something and then you don't charge them and you charge our player. For us, it doesn't change anything."
Shelvey had a hand in all three goals, scored by Matt Ritchie with a ninth-minute penalty and a second late on after Yoan Gouffran had doubled his side's lead only for David Cotterill to halve it with 19 minutes remaining.
Benitez said: "He's a good player, if he concentrates on his football, he can make the difference."
The Magpies' reward for a first FA Cup victory since 2012 is a fourth round trip to Sky Bet League One Oxford, although the manager, who made eight changes for the replay, insists he will use the depth of his squad once again.
He said: "I don't like to lie and I will say we will try to use the squad and go as far as we can, but using the squad because we know that we have so many games in the league that it's important to have everyone ready and choose the best players for every game without taking risks."

JIHADIST groups are believed to have been present in Azerbaijan since at least February, it was claimed today, with Turkey accused of shipping in militia, including the Uighur Muslim terror group the Turkestan Islamic Party (TIP).
The Islamist fighters are thought to have been mobilised from their bases in Syria to join Azeri forces in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, where they are fighting against Armenia.
Despite Turkey initially denying the presence of the jihadists, film footage and photographs have since corroborated reports which began circulating in the Syrian press in August.
The Morning Star reported on the mobilisation of Turkish troops in July when tensions flared between the two Caucasus nations.
Ankara was accused of a “dangerous provocation” after its armed forces joined their Azeri counterparts for war games exercises close to the Armenian border.
It was reported that Turkey shipped fighters from the Syrian National Army into Azerbaijan during the military operations, with many wearing Turkish army uniforms and staying in the same barracks.
The news was picked up by the mainstream media in late September when it was confirmed that hundreds of jihadists had been flown into Azerbaijan and were paid as much as $2,000 (£1,530) a month to fight in Nagorno-Karabakh.
But according to the latest reports, Islamist groups are thought to have been present in Azerbaijan as early as February.
Members of the Armenian diaspora in the Syrian city of Aleppo claim that mercenaries were sent by Turkey on buses belonging to the Aras transport company arriving in the Azeri regions of Nakhichivan and Sumgait in February and March.
Aleppo-based freelance journalist Armen Tigrankert reported that the Uighur jihadists from the TIP, formerly known as the East Turkmenistan Islamic Movement (ETIM), were also mobilised by Ankara.
TIP is designated as a terrorist organisation by the EU, UN and US, among other countries.
Affiliated to al-Qaida, it seeks to establish a caliphate called East Turkestan to replace China’s Xinjiang Uighur autonomous region. TIP is accused of carrying out more than 200 terror attacks in the region between 1990 and 2001, killing more than 400 people.
The group sent fighters to join the myriad of jihadist groups in Syria as they sought to overthrow the government of President Bashar al-Assad.
TIP has a base in the city of Jisr al-Shughur in the Syrian province of Idlib, which remains under the control of Turkish-affiliated militants.
Its fighters were reportedly given military training in the province before 30 Uighurs and their families were flown on a Turkish Airlines flight from the Turkish city of Antakya in Hatay province to the Azeri capital Baku.
According to reports, the Uighur fighters are paid just $500 (£382) to $700 (£535) per month by the Turkish state, significantly lower than those from other militia including the Sultan Murad Brigade.
Battle continues to rage between Armenia and Azerbaijan over Nagorno-Karabakh after a third ceasefire broke down minutes after it was implemented on Monday.
Azeri forces have been accused of war crimes, including the use of banned cluster bombs and the beheading of a captured Armenian soldier.

Assisted suicide network members indicted in Cumming
By Ken Stanford Staff
ATLANTA - A Forsyth County grand jury has indicted four members of an assisted suicide group who authorities say aided in the deaths of dozens of people.
The grand jury indicted Thomas E. Goodwin, the Final Exit Network's former president, Dr. Lawrence D. Egbert, the organization's medical director, Nicholas Alec Sheridan, a regional coordinator, and Claire Blehr, a member.
The four were arrested in February 2009 and charged with assisted suicide in the aftermath of the 2008 death of 58-year-old John Celmer at his northest Georgia home.
Forsyth County District Attorney Penny Penn says the grand jury indicted the four on charges of offering to assist in the commission of suicide, tampering with evidence and a violation of the state anti-racketeering laws.

Windows Machine Authentication:
A few very helpful links to me:
Many corporation deploy 802.1x machine authentication, because it's more secure than username authentication. Here's a guide of how to do such authentication.
The basic idea is that when a machine joins an AD domain, DC generates a password corresponding to that machine name. The password is transparent to administrators, but an open source software "likewise open" can get this password. So we can use machine name and password to do a 802.1x machine authentication, with PEAP-MSCHAPV2, other than EAP-TLS certificate.
The client is configured to provide some form of credentials when it connects to an 802.1x network. These credentials could be in the form of a username/password, machine account/password, certificate, or a number of other lesser used credentials.

10 Best Music Apps for Android 2017
1. Saavn Music & Radio
It’s a great app which allows you to stream good quality music. It automatically creates a playlist of your recently played tracks which saves the time of searching your recent favorites. But sometimes it becomes irritating as it adds the same song for multiple times. It has some good things too as you can also download music by becoming a paid member. It provides a variety of languages for music. The things I really like about Saavn are that it has a great variety of artists in different genres and languages.
Saavn is up to date so you do not miss on anything. It also has a feature of paid membership. It allows you to download the song within the app and stream them without the internet too. But for me, I do not prefer this app much because I found it somewhat irritating. When I accidentally played a song that is already in my playlist, it duplicates the song in my playlist. I found it a little bit confusing too. Overall I would say it is one of the best music apps for Android in 2017 for Indian users.
Recommended: 7 Best Songs Download Apps for Android
2. Gaana: Bollywood Music & Radio
Gaana app is my favorite music app for Android. It is easy to use and it has great playlists too. Creating your own playlists is very easy in it. Also, it lets you add multiple songs to playlists by selecting them. You can select the quality of songs according to your data plan. It has a variety of devotional songs as well. Paid membership allows you to download music within the app so that you can play it without the internet. It has perfect playlists for every mood. Whether we are missing someone or just want to dance on the craziest party songs. Gaana can play a ‘gaana’ anytime to make us feel light.
Moreover, multiple languages for the music can be selected at a time.Also, it has videos to watch. The thing I personally like is it has lyrics of most of the songs. So, you do not have to switch apps in order to sing a song with proper lyrics. This saves the time and energy of creating lyrics of the song on your own. The playlists are updated on regular basis too. But all good it has almost all the artists except some like Taylor Swift. Yeah, we miss you T.S. as anyone can have bad blood at times. All in all the app is a great tool to relax your mood a bit anywhere anytime. If you like Indian music, then you must try Gaana Android app.

3. Wynk Music: MP3 & Hindi Songs
Wynk is an app run by Airtel. It is better for Hindi songs and provides good quality music. It is comparatively smaller than Saavn or Gaana. Although it has 4 languages to select from but not Punjabi. Also, it has some privileges for Airtel users as they get a free monthly subscription. It streams good quality music at the low-speed internet. The only thing that bothers me is its lack of Punjabi music support. How can you imagine to have a playlist without Diljit Dosanjh? No party completes without some Punjabi tadka. Other than that, the app is great and you will enjoy it for sure.
Moreover, if you are an Airtel user, then you must install Wynk Music app. It has many artists as the chain-smokers, Rihanna, and Badshah. Overall the app is one of the best music apps for Android if not the best. The Play Store rating of the app is 4.2 which says all about the app. You can also read my review of the Wynk Music App to know more about the app.

4. JioMusic App
JIO Music is basically an app for the JIO users. You can select one language of music in it at a time. It is also great if u want to add a caller tune on your JIO sim. You can do it easily by playing the song and selecting “set as JIO tune” in the options. Even I often use this app to change my caller tune in JIO number. Though it has a limited variety of songs, the collection is quite good. And as you know it is the quality that matters, not the quantity. Currently, it has the best Play Store rating among the music apps for Android i.e. 4.5 stars out of 5. I would recommend you this app if you are a JIO user.
5. Hungama Music- Songs & Videos:
Hungama lets you stream music in five languages. Along with that it also allows you to stream movies and videos too. I find this app of much use as there are many languages to choose from. The app has a huge library of songs especially Indian songs. You can stream any song from them as per your mood. You can also get any song offline but you have to pay for it. However, you can take first 10 songs offline for free. But these are only a few drops from the sea of lakhs of songs. For more, you can subscribe to its premium plans to get songs offline.
However, if you have an unlimited internet plan, you can stream songs for free. You can stream unlimited songs as Hungama does not charge for streaming. But it shows ads in the app, which can sometimes annoy you. Apart from that, the app undoubtedly falls into the category of the best music apps for Android in India. You must give it a shot if you like streaming music on your phone. But, if you prefer taking songs offline and playing them later. Then you should consider other apps.

6. SoundCloud – Music & Audio
Sound Cloud is one of the best music apps for Android globally. It features many established and emerging artists. It has over 120 million tracks from established and emerging artists. Recently, a new feature is added so now you can also upload your own creations or remixes. I liked that it has a huge collection of songs. All the international artists and their hits are there. Uploading feature provides upcoming artists a great exposure and will help in finding new talents.
Its playlists are quite good, they have a playlist for every mood like relaxing, studying, etc.. the quality of songs is also great. They can be streamed on both wi-fi and mobile data. It is a great app for those who want international songs but it has a drawback for us Indians as it does not have Bollywood or regional music. And it can be quite confusing for some users too.

Even though Apple is not known for developing apps for any other mobile platform including Android. They released Apple Music for Android users. Yes, you heard it right. Talking about the app, it requires you to give card details before starting the 3-month free trial. It can be really irritating for some users. However, the app is great when it comes to the layout and variety of songs and playlists. It ensures to be up to date with the most recent songs. However, the “new releases” section needs a bit of work as albums which were recently released should have been there. But they are not there. Sad, isn’t it?
However, the “new releases” section needs a bit of work as albums which were recently released should have been there. But they are not there. Sad, isn’t it? There is also a minor issue in the app. Sometimes, it crashes when migrating from Wi-Fi to mobile data. Other than that the app works flawlessly. Overall I recommend this app and if you are a music lover, you should give it a shot.

8. Tunein Radio: Radio & Music
Tunein app has some really attractive features such as local radios. Here you can browse your local radio stations. The song selection and the variety are also really good. The app sometimes crashes which is irritating. Also, the subscription charges are very high. However, the app provides one month of free service. The layout can be confusing for you at the start, but you will get used to over time. The concept of this app is really great if we leave minor flaws. The playlists are really good, the quality of songs is nice. Overall, it is no doubt a great app for music lovers. That is why I have included it in my list of 10 best music apps for Android in India. And the app deserves it.
9. Raaga: Hindi Tamil Telugu Songs
Raaga is basically an app for regional Indian music with 4 languages support. This app has some very interesting features such as chrome cast and sync. It has a great variety of songs which includes devotional songs too. Also, the app has a great variety of playlists such as special playlists for kids and some interesting stuff. Raaga has Hindi, Tamil, Telugu and Kannada songs which are a good addition to variety. But we have to compromise for English songs or other regional languages. The app is very useful for those who prefer to listen to songs in these 4 languages. Also, the app does not lags and crashes and works seamlessly. This gives a great user-experience. Concludingly, Raaga is a worth try app with app store rating of 4 stars.
10. Google Play Music
Google Play App is the mandatory app given by Google on every android phone. We generally tend to ignore it but it actually is a good app. It syncs with the music library of your phone. It can also be used to stream music online by taking paid membership. One can also try a one-month free trial pack. Just like other apps by Google, it is also a great app. It gets frequent updates by Google which make it even better every time. It has an interesting layout and variety of genres and artists as well.
Most of you do not pay any attention towards this app. Because you feel it has been forced upon you. But it is a nice app and we should give it a try at least. It features almost every song. Even if you do not use the paid version it groups songs according to their genres. Among all the preloaded Google apps, I use it most followed by Google Maps.
There are many other great music apps too in the Google Play Store. But these are the ones that stand apart from the crowd. The competition to become the leading music app in 2017 is very high. Because there are many global and local competitors to fight with. Try these apps and find it yourself that how much you agree with my opinion. And my personal preference would be Saavn and Gaana, make sure to give them a try. Also, let me know which of these best music apps for Android you use? If your app is not on the list comment its name below. Also, share the article with your friends to help them find the best music app.

UEFA is yet to decide whether to investigate Rangers’ decision to play the national anthem at Ibrox before their Champions League defeat by Napoli.
In defiance of instructions from the governing body, the anthem was sung to commemorate the death of the Queen before Wednesday night’s 3-0 defeat.
UEFA said that action will only be considered once it has received the necessary information from its match delegate.
A passionate rendition of the anthem followed a minute’s silence at Ibrox that had been permitted by Uefa, which at the same time rejected requests from some clubs to play God Save The King.
A vast silhouette of the Queen amid the colours of the Union Jack could be seen behind one of the goals before the game kicked off.
The supporters of Old Firm rivals Celtic adopted a very different tone for their 1-1 draw with Shakhtar Donetsk in Poland, however.
Both sets of players wore black armbands, but off the pitch some visiting fans made their anti-monarchy views known.
A banner in the Celtic end stated “F*** the Crown”, while another said “Sorry for your loss Michael Fagan” – a reference to the intruder who broke into the Queen’s Buckingham Palace bedroom in 1982.
Early in the match, there was a chant of “If you hate the royal family, clap your hands”.
Celtic took a 10th-minute lead before being pegged back and the game ended 1-1.

The StandDesk was produced by millennials, is marketed right at millennials, and has actually been demolished by millennials in impressive volumes. While it brings a ten-year guarantee (the longest of any Chinese-made base), in this case it’s not necessarily a reliable indication of the expected useful life of the training columns. However, for the price, the StandDesk is a wonderful lower-cost option to the UpLift, Jarvis and other Chinese-made desks. In spite of its stability issues this is a much better product than the Autonomous SmartDesk or IKEA Bekant can ever hope to be, and a good value overall. It’s the mid-priced offering in the broad classification of Chinese-made workdesks that is swaying clients from both its cheaper and also costlier peers.
StandDesk Construction, Setup, and also Gadgets
Building the desk is quite simple if you follow the thorough directions. Every one of the screws, screws, washing machines, and also springtime washing machines come in separate bags that are marked with their destination: table top, structure, and spares. There’s an included hex device for fastening every one of the bolts into the structure, or, appear a hex bit right into your power tool– simply take care not to over-tighten.
Every one of the components have an excellent quality finish to them with rounded edges to stay clear of cut hands. Below is a shot of all the screws that are fastened to the leg setting up– it’s not going anywhere!
The foot setting up additionally includes height-adjustable turning gears to stabilize the front-to-back activity of the desk, which was extremely helpful for the carpeted home office floor. I’m likewise using a flooring mat to safeguard the rug from chair wheel damages at sitting height, and also push the chair back when I’m transitioning to standing height.
The luxurious controller deserved the investment. The switches are all variable stress set, suggesting the up and down arrowheads will certainly change the height by 1/10th of an inch with a solitary press, or constantly adjust the elevation by about 0.7 inches per second if you hold the switch for two seconds. The memory switches are comparable in design: press to recall the elevation setup, or hold the button down for five seconds to save a brand-new height worth. I’m utilizing switch 1 for my sitting setting and button 4 for my standing position, which gives me 2 and 3 for anything I could need in the future.
Utilizing my Standdesk
I’ve been using the new workdesk for a few weeks and also have actually listed my first perceptions:
The motors are quiet yet can be heard in the following room over. It takes possibly 25 seconds for the desk to fully shift from resting to standing based upon my presets.
I utilize an Ergotron side-by-side monitor arm (especially this LX design), creating the desk to obtain a little rough when I move my weight versus the keyboard. In knowledge, I must have acquired the crossbar upgrade for my desk after figuring out the weight of my displays. If you prepare to do a dual display setup, get the bar.
Because gravity presses the discs in a human spine, I need to increase the desk higher in the early morning as well as reduced it at night.
An anti-fatigue floor covering is definitely important for long duration standing. I purchased an Octagonal floor covering from SmartCells, utilizing rubber “cells” that are pictured below.
Regardless of any type of troubles I may have had with the mobile phone or the cookie-cutter layout, virtually all of those worries removed when I in fact came down to utilizing this thing.
I didn’t think it was even possible, the StandDesk in some way takes care of to be also more secure than the Jarvis, both at sitting and also standing heights. A lot of days I such as to run my Jarvis at max elevation while pressed against my wall; not always since it’s that wobbly, but even if I desire as much security as I can obtain.
The StandDesk one ups the gambit also additionally, showing to be just as steady by itself at standing elevation as the Jarvis is with wall support. This is all without the company’s bar enhancement, which they assert adds even more stability when purchased as a part of the bundle deal.When it pertains to weight tolerance, the StandDesk shares yet much more statistics with the Jarvis, being rated for approximately 350 pounds of weight capability.
I have actually been making use of the desk for about 3 weeks currently for daily job (and complying with standing desk ideal techniques), whether it’s typing out evaluations such as this one from our desktop computer or a laptop once in a while. The desk stands up well against non-coastered drinks, as well as the coating in addition to the desk still feels equally as smooth as well as glossy as the day I opened it regardless of days of perspiring wrists wresting on it and multiple wipe downs with a dustcloth.
Though I never deliberately attempt to dent any kind of desks too hard, during some lighter tests (throwing a set of secrets onto it from a range, for example), it still held up without a lot of visible indications of damages.
Finally, when I gauged the noise output of the desk while it increased from a resting position to standing and also back once more, it was without a doubt the quietest we have actually tested yet. I can barely get it to make more than regarding 9.5 dB of sound, so if your largest problem is the whirr of your electric motor, this is absolutely the one for you.
Now, typically I don’t consist of much about the customer service assistance of any kind of offered company, only since I really feel that generally if an item functions the method its supposed to, I shouldn’t ever have a factor to call them to begin with. And while I wish I could state that held true during my experience with StandDesk, I merely can not complete this evaluation without pointing out the various, apparently countless issues I encountered trying to get my workdesk assembled.
For starters, the desk I was sent didn’t have any kind of memory mobile phone consisted of initially, which suggested I had no way of actually controlling the up/down function on the desk itself. I called StandDesk regarding this issue, that returned to me around a day later on with an apology as well as a promise that a new one would certainly be shipped out quickly.
Standdesk review handset
The source of all our troubles …
Concerning 4 days later a phone got here in the mail. The mobile phone originally turned on, however it had not been long prior to I discovered that none of the programmable switches functioned, neither did the down switch, but for some factor the “memory” button dealt with the down function simply fine. I got in touch with the business once again, and also they excused the mixup as well as claimed they would have a new panel and also control box bent on me within the week.
Over two weeks later my brand-new panel and control box arrived. When I mounted them both the desk finally started functioning the means it was expected to, yet not after practically a month of waiting and also to and fro with a firm that could not keep in mind to ship a core element of their item inside the same box from the start.
Points to Consider
In spite of its bankable features, this stand desk likewise has its own disadvantages. Given that no single stand workdesk might record all of the attributes that you might need, you might take into consideration these in your decision-making.
Absence of a Crossbar as criterion
Not having a stabilizing bar is absolutely not a deal-breaker, specifically thinking about several of our various other favorite workdesks such as the Completely Jarvis also do not have one. This workdesk does have one if you desire, however it is a paid add-on (much more on this later too).
The crossbar is seen by some as an obstacle, making it more difficult to place your legs comfortably listed below the desk. Others, on the other hand, discover that they provide included stability, typically vital when desks are completely extended.
We have not read any type of issues of the security of this desk, so we don’t assume its something to actually be worried concerning, although if you really desired a workdesk with a crossbar then we advise you have a look at the Varidesk ProDesk 60 Electric.
StandDesk does supply a separate add-on bar that you can add to the workdesk yourself, just for an added $49.95.
The security of a standing workdesk is one of one of the most essential facets of these desks. Without a steady desk you’ll discover it difficult to focus, which might result in you becoming less interested in utilizing the desk at standing height. To get the best return on your financial investment, you’ll wish to more than happy when making use of the desk.
Due To The Fact That the StandDesk Simple is the very first desk that I have actually checked with an optional cross assistance, I will certainly break down my stability examinations into two areas. Both examinations will consist of the regular front to back shaking examination as well as a delegated right wobble. The very first will lack the cross support and also the secondly will be with it. Just to keep in mind, StandDesk.co states that the addition of the cross assistance can increase security by up to 15%. I have no concept exactly how they created that number.
Without Cross Support
Left to Right: The wobble examination was a different circumstance. StandDesk Simple was the 2nd workdesk that I checked that wobbled at the bottom with weight on the desktop. The very first was the IKEA Bekant. By the time it got to 36″ the rocking motion misbehaved. Yet factor it would certainly influence your job.
With Cross Assistance
Front to Back: Adding the cross support does not influence the rocking movement. The StandDesk Simple started to experienced a shaking movement at 36″. By 41″ the shaking movement was bad.
Delegated Right: Including the cross assistance to the StandDesk enhanced the wobble motion for lower heights. With the cross support the wobble motion didn’t start till you reached 35″. By 39″ the wobble activity came to be bad.
Keep in mind: It’s very vital with adjustable standing desks to totally tighten all equipment. If there is hardware that is not totally limited, the movement experienced when reached standing height will be exaggerated. This is especially real with a workdesk framework that includes 32 screws, there are much too many factors at which the desk has a possibility to relocate.
Like all the Chinese bases we’ve checked in our labs, we have to narrow our recommendation on the StandDesk Pro to shorter customers with narrower desktop computers, as the security simply isn’t there for a large mass raised high off the ground. American-made desks will be better fit to these applications, and for a rather apparent factor. Practically all American-made bases are made in US factories that are owned by Swedish, Danish or German firms that designed this sector, and also their typical people are a great deal taller than the typical Asian customer, so they started making longer-stroke training legs a very long time earlier. And they have even more robotic automation, laser-cutting devices, and sheer experience making standing workdesk bases, obviously.
Yet if you’re not also tall, do not have an extreme quantity of hefty equipment on your desktop computer, and don’t need also wide of a workdesk, the StandDesk Pro will certainly give you great bang for your buck.
All that may transform with Yu’s promised StandDesk Pro 2.0 style that he anticipates to launch at some point in the future. Originally we were told we would certainly see it by June 2018. More than a year later on it has yet to appear, and also Yu states he’s had difficulty obtaining the product top quality he requires out of several Chinese manufacturing facilities he’s tried collaborating with. The brand-new layout is apparently mosting likely to be much easier to put together as well as have a heftier bar design, among other improvements. He says the new base will certainly be offered in both a “T-Leg” and also “C-Leg” setup, reducing our problem about side-load stressing on the training columns.
If this new base ever before involves market we’ll upgrade you here. Yet we’re not holding our breath any longer as the most current information on the firm is that Yu shut the small Los Angeles office and has moved it to join with all its various other workers in southeast Asia.
In the meantime, a new $399 standing desk with outstanding performance has been present through the brand-new joint venture between US-based iMovR and also China-based Eureka, the i1 electric standing workdesk. While limited in dimension and also color options, it has taken the mantle away from StandDesk’s long-ago condition as the best standing workdesk under $400.

A genre of music that is less about the music and more about the message behind it. Very crashing, angry and emotional. These are the concerts with the mosh pits, girls and boys. These are the concerts where everything you've been pissed off about, from the bully at school to that last fight with Mummy & Daddy to the rape you don't tell anyone about comes to the surface. This is the genre where you can scream and hit and swear and nobody will ever question you. Whenever I listen to punk, it's like release in the purest form. That's the real stuff.
Punk rockers arn't all the stereotypical coloured-hair and various facial piercings. I've met punks who look like Susie Sunshine. And punk was not ruined, it was corrupted by a bunch of morons who were desperate for a quick buck. You can still find the real deal though. You just have to know where to look.

Labour has criticised the government’s plan not to impose a period of purdah before the European Union referendum.
Elections and referenda typically have a four-week period when the machinery of government is not permitted to back any of the campaigns, but the EU Referendum Bill would waive the requirement in this case.
The decision not to include a purdah period was criticised by Conservative backbenchers yesterday, but apparently backed by Labour frontbencher Hilary Benn, who said it was “reasonable”.
Harriet Harman, the acting Labour leader, said at this afternoon’s prime minister’s questions that it was “essential” that the election was both “fair and seen as fair”.

“Why are they changing the law to exempt the government from the rules that make sure the government doesn't use public funds or the government machine in the short campaign?" she asked.
“The problem is it's a blanket exemption and we must have a legal framework on the face of the bill, we can't be left just to rely on ministerial restraint.”
David Cameron explained why he did not believe a purdah period was appropriate: “I don't want us to be in a situation where in the four weeks before the referendum minsters aren't able to talk about the European budget...and all the rest of it.
“The second issue...is that when the negotiation is complete and the Government has a clear view, I don't want us to be neutral on this issue, I want us to speak clearly and frankly on this issue.”
Benn, who was responding to the government for Labour in the Commons yesterday, appeared to support the absence of purdah.
“It would not be sensible for any government to find themselves constrained from explaining to the people the government’s view, because the people are entitled to hear from the government of the day,” he said.
“...I agree with the foreign secretary in this respect: once the government eventually reach a view, they are entitled to explain it to the British people. Indeed, they will have to explain their view to some of the members of the cabinet. Therefore, it is reasonable to ensure that the hovernment are able to do that.”
Government guidance to civil servants issued before last year's vote on Scottish independence stipulated that ministers had a "clear policy position" on maintaining the United Kingdom.
But under a deal agreed with the Scottish government, an extra 28-day restricted period was imposed, barring both the Scottish and UK government from publishing information or embarking on ministerial visits that might have "a bearing on the referendum campaign".
Several Conservative backbenchers have already raised concerns about the EU vote plan.
Dominic Grieve, the former attorney general, said the government could not afford to be seen to “load the dice” in favour of either campaign.
Former cabinet minister Owen Paterson warned that allowing government departments to campaign would lead to complaints that the result of the referendum was not valid.
