ZURICH (Reuters) - Novartis might sell its non-strategic animal health and over-the-counter (OTC) businesses if it cannot turn them into businesses of global scale, Chief Executive Joe Jimenez told Reuters in an interview on Monday.
He said Novartis had three global businesses -- pharma, eyecare and generics -- it was focusing on, but was looking at options for its three subscale businesses, vaccines and diagnostics, over-the-counter and animal health.
"We looked very hard at the market growth rates and at Novartis's capabilities. These are good businesses, but we have to find a way to give them global scale," Jimenez said.
Asked whether Novartis might sell the animal health and OTC businesses, he said: "I wouldn't want to speculate on the outcome. Our objective is to determine what it would take to gain global scale. If that is not possible, (selling animal health and OTC) would be a potential outcome.
"But if it is possible, we would want to build them into businesses of global scale," he said.
Novartis said on Monday it was selling part of its diagnostics business, its blood transfusion diagnostics unit, to Spain-based Grifols for $1.675 billion.

Teamwork for robots
Our world is getting more and more complex.
At the same time we encounter the situation that our robots are getting more powerfull and cheaper. Thus we can think of new application area for our robots. But some of these new robotic tasks are still so complex that a single robot will need help from other robots.
The idea is to take several robots, acting as a swarm of individuals, or as a team working together. Basic principles for controlling a robot, or a team of robots will be the subject of this lab course.
We will work in 2-person teams using the mobile teaching and research platform RoomRider equipped with a laser-range scanning system and an on board camera, the mobile platform Robotino, the 6-DOF manipulator (Kinova robot arm Mico and a quadcopter (type Bebop2).
The robots will be programmed under Linux, with C or C++ programming language. We expect, that you are allready familiar with programming C or C++.

Within days of the Boston Massacre, Bostonians politicized the event. They circulated a pamphlet about “the Horrid Massacre” and published images portraying soldiers firing into a well-assembled and peaceful crowd.
But why did the Boston Massacre happen? Why did the British government feel it had little choice but to station as many 2,000 soldiers in Boston during peacetime? And what was going on within the larger British Empire that drove colonists to the point where they provoked armed soldiers to fire upon them? [Read more…] about Boston Massacre: The Townshend Moment

More Men Using Family Planning Services
Trend suggests increase, but men still a small percentage of family planning users
More men are visiting Title X Family Planning Program sites, according to a report released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the HHS Office of Population Affairs (OPA) in observance of June’s Men’s Health Month.
From 2003 through 2014, a total of 3.8 million men visited Title X service sites in the 50 states and District of Columbia. The percentage of male clients nearly doubled from 4.5 percent (221,425 males) in 2003 to 8.8 percent (362,531 males) in 2014.
“The growing trend in men’s use of family planning services is very encouraging,” said Wanda Barfield, director of CDC’s Division of Reproductive Health. “Men have family planning needs that not only have implications for their sexual and reproductive health, but also can have an impact on their overall health.”
Since it was established in 1970, the National Title X Family Planning Program has supported the delivery of cost-effective and confidential family planning and related preventive health care with priority for services to low-income women and men. In 2014, about 4 million clients, more than 90 percent of whom were female, were served through approximately 4,100 Title X-funded service sites.
“Title X-funded sites provide a broad range of services, patient education, and referrals that are important in meeting the family planning needs of both male and female clients,” said Susan Moskosky, acting director of OPA. “OPA has actively worked to increase the number of males who use Title X services by funding projects and trainings during the past 15 years to improve outreach and appropriate male-centered service delivery.”
In 2014, CDC and OPA released the recommendations, Providing Quality Family Planning Services, which outlined family planning services for men including education and counseling on a range of issues related to preventing or achieving pregnancy, including preconception, infertility, contraception, and sexually transmitted disease (STD) care.
In 2014, male users of Title X family planning services were diverse in age, race/ethnicity, and geography:
- Approximately one-third (35 percent) were non-Hispanic white, 28 percent were Hispanic or Latino, and 24 percent were black.
- Nearly half (49 percent) were age 20-29 years, 20 percent were age 30-39, and 14 percent were age 15-19.
- The percentage of clients that were male also varied widely from state to state, from 1 percent or less in Tennessee, Mississippi, and Alabama to 27.2 percent in the District of Columbia.
Although far fewer men than women seek family planning and related services at Title X clinics, the number of men seeking these services is rapidly increasing. Health care settings that include family planning can adapt a client-centered, male-focused approach to better meet the health needs of males

People living in Langley will soon have better access to emergency services as construction of an expanded emergency department at Langley Memorial Hospital completes.
“The current emergency department was built in 1986, and since that time, visits have increased from 25,000 to more than 44,000 per year,” said Adrian Dix, Minister of Health. “As Langley continues to grow and thrive, the expanded emergency department at Langley Memorial Hospital will be able to keep up with the increasing demand for emergency services, and I look forward to the official opening of the ED in May.”
The expanded emergency department will increase patient treatment bays from 31 to 49. The number of trauma bays will increase from one to two. As well, it will include a separate pediatric waiting area for children, and a new entrance that separates walk-in patients from those who arrive by ambulance.
A new dedicated, separate treatment area has been built for patients with mental health and substance use needs.
To minimize the risk of infection, additional handwashing stations, utility rooms, a decontamination area and an isolation room are being added.
“I’m proud our government took such fast action to expand the emergency department,” said Megan Dykeman, MLA for Langley East. “Many people in our community rely on the hospital emergency department, and it’s great to know we are closer to having it ready for patients.”
The provincial government, through Fraser Health, is providing $29.32 million toward the project. The Langley Memorial Hospital Foundation is contributing $10 million, which includes a $1.5-million contribution from the Langley Memorial Hospital Auxiliary.
“The need for an expanded emergency department was in our community for a number of years,” said Andrew Mercier, MLA for Langley. “I thank all those who helped make it happen, and because of their efforts, we are almost ready to open the expanded facility, a place that will help save lives.”
Sheila Malcolmson, Minister of Mental Health and Addictions –
“It will be a game changer for people who need mental health care that we’re expanding the Langley Memorial emergency department with them front of mind. Together, we’re building a system where treatment for mental health is on par with any other health condition. I’m grateful to everyone involved in making this development a reality.”
Dr. Victoria Lee, president and chief executive officer, Fraser Health –
“The expanded emergency department is designed around the needs of our patients and their families. More treatment spaces, improved drop-off and pickup areas, and more rooms in the waiting areas will help us improve the experience for patients in Langley and surrounding communities. We look forward to welcoming patients to the new emergency department this spring.”
Heather Scott, executive director, Langley Memorial Hospital Foundation –
“We’re so proud of the pivotal role donors played in making this day possible. The updated, expanded emergency department honours our residents, our great staff and our strong community, and the commitment to health care shown through generous donations has created a lasting legacy that will benefit Langley and surrounding communities for years to come.”

Richard Pusey, the man jailed for filming four dying police officers after an Eastern Freeway crash, has had another plea hearing adjourned after a magistrate lost patience with his repeated interjections.
He was set to plead guilty to some of those charges on Thursday but his hearing in the Melbourne Magistrates Court was cut short when Pusey interrupted police prosecutor Meagan McDonnell to dispute part of the summary she was reading.
Pusey was to plead guilty to four counts of using a carriage service to menace a man but when Ms McDonnell told the court Pusey knew the victim, the 42-year-old called out over the video link.
“I don’t know him, he’s not a customer,” said Pusey, a property developer and mortgage broker.
Magistrate Simon Zebrowski warned Pusey not to interject after several earlier interruptions. “If you want to keep calling out, I’m just going to mute you,” Mr Zebrowski said.
When Pusey again disputed what the prosecutor was saying, the magistrate said he would not let him speak over people or interrupt the hearing.
“Adjourn it, please ... I want an adjournment,” Pusey called back.
Mr Zebrowski adjourned the hearing until August 23. Pusey was remanded in custody.
His four charges of using a carriage service to menace relate to alleged contact he made with a man on August 27, 2019.
There is also one charge of criminal damage.
Police say Pusey knew the complainant worked at a bank because they had liaised previously over a credit card dispute.
Police allege that in one of four emails Pusey sent, he called the man “a f---wit c---” and made a crude reference to the man’s wife, while in another he allegedly made a specific reference to the man’s daughter.
Pusey also allegedly threatened the man would be held responsible for the dispute. Police say the emails left the man man fearful for his and his family’s safety.
Ms McDonnell earlier told the court that on March 26, 2019, Pusey used his car key to scratch paint off a man’s Royal Enfield motorcycle, causing damage worth $3400, after the pair pulled over in Richmond.
The rider was angry at being nearly thrown from his motorcycle when cut off by Pusey’s erratic driving in his black Porsche in Hoddle Street, Ms McDonnell said.
Pusey was last month jailed for 10 months for outraging public decency and other charges after filming the aftermath of the Eastern Freeway crash on April 22 last year, when Leading Senior Constable Lynette Taylor, Senior Constable Kevin King and constables Glen Humphris and Josh Prestney were hit by a truck and killed.
The police had pulled over Pusey for speeding in his Porsche.
County Court judge Trevor Wraight jailed Pusey for three months on the outraging public decency charge and eight months for reckless conduct endangering serious injury, related to him speeding on the freeway a month before the crash.
When merged, the total sentence came to 10 months, which outraged Leading Senior Constable Taylor’s husband, Stuart Schulze.
Pusey on Thursday cited the crash when the media applied for photographs of the damaged motorcycle in the unrelated incident.
“It’s traumatic. It’s re-traumatising the truck victims’ families,” he said.
Mr Zebrowski told Pusey not to talk but the Porsche driver interrupted the hearing again moments later.
“What’s your name, your honour?” he said.
Mr Zebrowski: “I’m sorry, I don’t know who’s speaking to me. Who’s speaking to me now?”
Defence counsel Vincent Peters: “Leave it, Richard.”
Pusey: “It’s me, sir.”
Truck driver Mohinder Singh, who was fatigued and drug affected when he crashed into the police officers, was last month jailed for 22 years for four counts of culpable driving causing death and drug offences.

The most beautiful black sand beach in the world is located in Iceland, and it is called 'Reynisfjara' in Icelandic. Be careful of the tidal waves, but be sure to check out the cave on the beach that was carved out by the ocean waves.
A black sand beach is something that cannot be found in many places on Earth. The pitch black sand strikes a perfect contrast against the white foam of the waves and the blue water. The most beautiful black sand beach is located in Iceland - and this is not just our personal opinion. Many world-renowned magazines such as the National Geographic or the Condé Nast Traveller have listed this extraordinary place among the most beautiful beaches on the planet!
Reynisfjara Beach location:
The most spectacular black sand beach in Iceland can be found on the south coast, just off the Ring Road, 180 kilometers (112 miles) from Reykjavík. It takes a day to visit the site and return to Reykjavík, with even more amazing sights waiting along the way.
The famous black sand beach stretches many kilometers from the Dyrhóleay stone arches through Reynisfjara, extending up to the small village of Vík. Of all these stunning places, Reynisfjara is the most favored site thanks to its perfectly angular basalt columns, caves, and sea stacks.
Reynisfjara is around 180 km (112 miles) from the Icelandic capital, Reykjavik. Reaching Reynisfjara Beach from Reykjavik is easy and takes up approximately two and a half hours.
An Icelandic black sand beach is, of course, not the best choice for sunbathing. You can be sure, however, that it is a photogenic masterpiece of nature. Reynisfjara is now ranked as one of the 21 most beautiful beaches in the world just for its black sand. It is no ordinary beach!
Aside from the enchanting pitch-black coast dotted with smooth pebbles and stones, it has enormous basalt stacks, hexagonal-shaped basalt columns, stunning lava formations, towering cliffs, basalt caves, and breathtaking views of some stunning stone arches off in the distance! With the roaring Atlantic waves and thousands of birds nesting all over the cliffs and sea stacks, Reynisfjara is widely considered to be the most beautiful black sand beach in Iceland.
Iceland is home to around 130 volcanos, many of which are still active today. Black sand beaches rise from volcanic ashes. When molten lava enters the water, a violent interaction occurs between the hot lava and the sea water.
The lava cools down so rapidly that it breaks into debris and sand instantly. A huge amount of lava flow entering the ice-cold sea at once may produce enough fragments to create a new black sand beach in a matter of hours!
Reynisfjara is located near a large volcano that erupted several times during the last thousand years. The notorious Katla volcano has been dormant for nearly one hundred years but is due to erupt at any time. Reynisfjara’s black sand was formed during one of Katla’s major eruptions.
The highly picturesque columnar joints, called Garðar, are undoubtedly one of the most photographed places in Iceland. They were also created by volcanic forces. These interesting, closely spaced fractures occur only in volcanic rocks, in basalt most of all. They are formed when lava cools down quickly. As the effect of the sudden cooling, the rock starts to contract from the edges in symmetric, geometrical shapes.
The columns at Reynisfjara vary from 0.5-1 meter (1.6-3.2 feet) in diameter and can be up to 20 meters (65.6 feet) tall. They are parallel and straight, but there are also curved columns that form a large and very scenic cave.
Unlike many other black sand beaches in the world, the volcanic sand on Reynisfjara is almost always wet because it is in the rainiest part of Iceland. So, the sand never becomes dry and gray, remaining instead unbelievably pitch black. In winter, when snow covers the beach, the black and white mix and look like as if they are poppy seeds and powdered sugar.
The site was named after a Norwegian Viking called Reynir. He was the first settler in this area. Reynisfjara translates to “Reynir’s beach.” Reynisfjall (Reynir’s mountain) and the Reynisdrangar (Reynir’s pillars) can also be found here.
Reynir’s pillars stick out of the ocean next to the coast and give the whole are a very distinctive appearance. According to Icelandic folklore, these odd formations were once sea trolls who tried to drag a ship to the shore. They apparently did not realize that the sun was rising and turned into stones instantly when the sun touched them.
As for the geological explanation, the basalt sea stacks were part of Reynisfjall Mountain. They were separated from the mainland as a result of a huge amount of erosion caused by the rainy weather and attacks by the powerful ocean waves. The formations continue to change constantly as the waves crash against their walls. Someday, they may even collapse and disappear entirely. This, however, is not expected to happen any time soon, as the process can take decades or centuries.
Reynisfjara is a popular filming location that appears in many Hollywood movies and well-known TV shows. The most famous of all is probably Game of Thrones, Star Trek, and one of the Star Wars movies.
Reynisfjara beach is known as one of the most dangerous places in Iceland. It may not look that dangerous, but it has already taken some traveler’s lives. If you visit the site, it is very important to understand the potential dangers and to take them very seriously.
The currents and roaring waves in this area play a cruel game and can be particularly violent. Sometimes, all of the sudden, one wave can sneak much further up the sandy beach than the other waves before it. These sneaker waves can occur when no one expects them. Tragically, there have been terrible accidents and even fatal ones when unsuspecting visitors have been dragged into the ocean.
Another great danger is climbing on the basalt columns. Aside from the obvious danger of falling down, which has happened to a few visitors and has even ended in tragedy once, there is, again, the danger of the sea.
You may see a lot of great pictures with people happily posing on the beautiful basalt columns. But, when you are there, it is not certain that you will be able to do the same. At high tide, the sea comes very close to the columns. This increases the danger that a sneaker wave will reach you and knock you down from the rocks, dragging you into the sea.
Also, in high tides, the cave behind the basalt columns may become inaccessible. When the sea is closer than 10-20 meters, it is best to skip the cave.
How to be safe at Reynisfjara?
Generally, always keep a safe distance from the water and never turn your back to the sea. Do not climb over the basalt columns. If you are traveling with a child, pay extra attention and do not let them walk close to the sea.
Reynisfjara can be visited throughout the year. The beach is just as beautiful under the midnight sun as it is with a blanket of snow covering the basalt columns. With luck, you may even find yourself under a sky illuminated by the Northern Lights!
If you are planning to visit Reynisfjara alone, please be aware of the tides as the beach can be very dangerous during high tide. We recommend checking the local tide chart and aiming your visit for low tide when the beach is at its safest.
Another option is to join one of our many tours and let one of our experienced guides plans and handle all of the logistics for you.

So. 2016, then. Yeah. I realise units of time are a human construct and therefore meaningless, but blimey, I won’t be sorry to see 2016 shuffle off the meaningless calendar. Luckily, 2017 will be here soon, with its ruined economy and potential fiery nuclear death--
Okay, that’s enough of that. Sure, shit is fucked, but you don’t need me to tell you that. Let’s try and do something about it, and survive this thing together.
In the meantime, ignoring the terrifying world stage, what’s been going on with me? What about ME, 2016?? Well, in my first blog post of the year, I pledged to do more Weird Stuff, which I’ve certainly done.
Not Guilty Pleasures, in which I and a guest talk about something we love unconditionally, to try and balance out the bucketloads of internet snark out there (I’ll need to do more of these). Topics covered so far: Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Captain America movies, and The Walking Dead. I didn’t plan to start a podcast, it just sort of happened. I like it when things just sort of happen. And yes, I'm planning to do more, watch this space.
After indulging at Christmas, I thought doing Dry January for charity would be easy. Turned out that I’d inadvertently picked a month in which tons of great people would die, AND we’d be at a family funeral. Pro tip: don't do that.
season 2 episode of Eve aired on CBBC, which was huge fun to write. They’re a wonderful team of smart people. My rule is, pick people to work with who are smarter than me - this is usually very easy to do...
Tower Block aired on Channel 5.
I started writing a movie that I had no idea how to write. Update: I have a rough draft. It might actually work. I have no idea why or how that happened.
We lost Prince, and I wrote a thing about missing him:
The people behind Night Vale, the weirdest, coolest, freakiest podcast show ever, let me co-write an episode.
wrote & directed another short film, Connie, which I edited and we produced together, premiering the fuzzy dame at FrightFest.
While at FrightFest, I did my writing workshop for them (and later for YouTube). If any organisations would like me to run it for you, just let me know. I like doing it, and it works.
The lovely people behind Eve let me come back and write another episode, for the 3rd season, which aired in November. This one was more difficult to write, as I’d decided to try and show off how clever I am... I got there in the end, with their support and patience.
The Horror Channel had their premiere of Cockneys Vs Zombies, so I did an interview for them, and took part in a Den of Geek article about how to write horror.
webseries, Mina Murray’s Journal, premiered online, and then went on tour to VidFestUK and Dublin Web Fest (where it won Best Screenplay). I’m so, SO proud of what we all pulled together, I love how it looks and feels. Thank you to everyone who worked so hard to make it, and to everyone who watched, liked, shared, tweeted, drew fan art, made Tumblr gifs - you're all lovely and amazing.
As always, there were lots of other things going on behind the scenes, things you might not see for a while, things you might never see. Development is a fickle beast, and sometimes I’ll work on stuff for years only for it to die a quiet death when the finance fails to appear, or the boss moves to another department, or the channel ceases to exist, or one of a million other reasons... One project outlived the head of drama, the head of the company, the head of the channel, AND the channel itself, as they all went off to different places, before it finally died. You come up with universes, people, fall in love with them, and then things are just snapped out of existence. It happens, a lot. You learn to deal with it, but you never get used to it.
What’s in store for next year? Again, as always, you never quite know what will get picked up and when. I’ve got plenty of things in development, shorts, TV, films, web, so it depends on what pops up next. One falls away, another springs to life, and so on. I’m definitely directing another short, and am determined to get my own TV show off the ground, and direct a film. I’ll be doing more stuff with Cat, as we work well together and make a kickass team. See that thing about working with people smarter than you?? I got *very* lucky there.
Most of all, I’m going to concentrate on getting things done, and not worry so much about other people and projects. I can only control what I do, as can we all. You be you. I’m going to be me.
Be safe, stay hydrated, and try not to actively make things worse. Especially that last one. We’re all going to need that.

I have several cats and they wore out my first one. There are many toys on a stick but this one squeaks. Kittens especially love this one and it stands up to hard use. I do pick it up and put it away for awhile like I do all my cats' toys. That way they get a "new" toy often.

The cats love it and are attracted to the little noise the mouse makes. it isn't so much that they shy away from it or annoy me! Just enough to keep them interested.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Dennis Sound effect bothers my cats
My cats generally like the fuzzy item on a spring toys like this. Old ones got enough play that they were in need of replacing. The cats both saw this as a replacement and would start to play with it. Once they moved it enough that it made noise they backed off. After a few iterations of play-noise-backoff, the toy now sits unused.

An initiative is underway to save nursing home residents and nurses as death rates continue to rise. Governor Greg Abbott is tackling the issue by deploying the Texas National Guard to disinfect nursing homes across the state.
“The Texas National Guard plays a crucial role in our ongoing response to COVID-19, and I am grateful for their work to address the unique challenges our nursing homes face during this pandemic,” said Governor Abbott in a press release. “The training these Guardsmen have received will equip them with the knowledge and tools they need to provide this crucial assistance to these facilities.”
More than 400 deaths have been reported statewide in nursing facilities . In the Valley, the virus has killed nearly two dozen of people living in these centers.
In Harlingen, a total of 64 employees and 119 residents have tested positive at two nursing homes.
The disinfection team guardsmen specialize in natural disaster assessment and rapid response in hazardous environments, said Governor Abbott. Six teams have already been mobilized across the state with more to come , he added.

Victoria Beckham Registers Daughter's Name As Trademark
Harper Beckham trademark has also been registered for use in the entertainment industry.
Singer-turned-designer Victoria Beckham has registered her five-year-old daughter Harper's name as a trademark.
According to intellectual property office records, Victoria has registered Harper's name to be used in a range of branded products, including perfume, lip gloss and even anti-wrinkle creams, as well as books, umbrellas, music, clothing and children's dolls.
In addition, the Harper Beckham trademark has also been registered for use in the entertainment industry.
The wife of former football star David Beckham registered up the names of sons Brooklyn (18), Romeo (14) and Cruz (12) to Britain's Intellectual Property Office and the European Union-wide office in December last year.
The children are now officially a part of Brand Beckham, joining David who registered his name in 2000. Victoria followed in 2002.

[jump] When reached by phone, Julio De La Cruz, a general manager who has been with the business for 26 years, said Genova Delicatessen’s owners are currently negotiating with their landlords. “If they don’t budge, we’ll be left without any other choice but to close,” he said.
According to De La Cruz, the deli’s lease is up at the beginning of June, so the owners will try to make their final decision by April. Genova’s wholesale business, which is run out of a separate manufacturing facility in Oakland, should be unaffected. But De La Cruz said he’s unsure how the company’s second retail shop in Napa, which depends heavily on the Oakland mothership, might be impacted. The Oakland delicatessen alone employs more than twenty people, De La Cruz said.
Genova Delicatessen is best known for its well-stuffed Italian cold-cut sandwiches and take-home pasta dishes — lasagnas and assorted raviolis. The deli’s current location, in the Walgreen’s shopping plaza at the corner of 51st Street and Telegraph Avenue, has been open since 1996. The original shop, which dated back to 1926, was just down the street.
“It’s a landmark. And that’s what the landlords don’t understand,” De La Cruz said. “Genova is the foundation of Temescal Plaza — of Temescal period.”

The Kona Coffee Belt
The area that is now home to Kona coffee plantations once supported the native Hawaiians in the area for a thousand years with crops of sweet potatoes, breadfruit, bananas and taro with rich soil and mild climates. First introduced to Kona in the early 1800s from Brazilian clippings. Coffee plants did more than just take root — they flourished. These plants thrive on the western slopes of the Hualalai and Mauna Loa volcanoes, which provide shelter for the crops from the trade winds. Located on the leeward side clouds typically form in the afternoons. This protects Kona Coffee from the harshest sun time. It is an optimal environment for cultivating coffee which the rest of Hawaii, or the world, cannot replicate.
Smaller growers dominate coffee cultivation in Kona. Most farms usually aren’t larger that five acres. In addition, a lot of the farms are owned by people who have to maintain other sources of income. Also known as “gentleman farmers”. The farms are typically in an approximate 30 mile area between 800 and 2,500 feet. The climate is typically too dry and hot for coffee to thrive below 800 feet. Also above 2,500 feet, the area’s rain forest dominates the landscape.
Harvesting and preparing
Harvesting and preparing coffee is typically done on a small scale. At the peak of their maturity, the coffee is then selectively picked, by hand, usually from August to January. The beans are encased in a bright red skin that looks like a cherry. Then they are fermented 24-48 hours in fresh, pure water. After fermentation they are pulped. Pulping removes the outer skin revealing the treasured beans inside. Then the beans are placed under the sun on “hoshidanas,” or drying racks. They are then turned with a rake frequently to ensure even drying. They dry in the sun until their moisture content is ideally 11 to 12%. The beans are now in the “parchment” stage. They still have a layer of dried skin to be removed at the dry mill.
In conclusion, only by drinking 100 Percent Pure Kona Coffee, grown on its fertile coffee fields, harvested and processed by hand and by traditional methods, can one truly enjoy Kona coffee. Kona blends cannot compare.

Minister defends $300,000 for Prisons generator
Minister of Prison and Correction Services, Tialavea Tionisio Hunt, has strongly defended the allocation of $300,000 for a standby generator for the recently opened $18 million Tanumalala Prison facility.
He said the funding will also cater for a control room for the generator as well as other items.
“The $300,000 is not just for the generator. It will also fund the control room for the generator and other miscellaneous items required,” said Tialavea.
"We need a standby generator."
In the recently approved Supplementary Budget for Financial Year 2019-2020, a total of $300,000 is allocated for a generator for the Prison and Correction Services.
Coincidentally, funding of $100,000 is also allocated for a standby generator, but this time for the Ministry of Customs and Revenue.
When the Samoa Observer queried the Minister on the different cost of the two generators, Tialavea clarified that the generators are different.
“The one for the prisons is expensive, given that it’s not only the generator that will be purchased from these funds, and this standby generator is 200 kilowatts. There is a control room that will also be funded,” said the Minister.
Last month Member of Parliament for Gagaemauga No 3., La’auli Leuatea Polataivao, queried the $300,000 generator cost in Parliament and made reference to the different prices.
La’auli said an updated quote for his 200KVA generator was about $72,000 while adding that there are unanswered questions about the generator on whether it was second-hand or brand new.
He queried Parliament's Finance and Expenditure Committee if they had looked into the costs for the generator, saying the country needs to save money.
He also questioned whether the freight cost for the generator was paid in full at customs and if it was bought from a friend.
But in response, Parliament's Finance and Expenditure Committee Chairperson, Ali’imalemanu Alofa Tu’uau, explained that from the three bids, the quote of $300,000 was the lowest.
However, Minister Tialavea told the Samoa Observer on Tuesday that the tender is yet to be finalised when queried about the reports.
“The funding have just been approved and it will go through the tender process soon enough,” he said in a phone interview.
Minister of Works Transport and Infrastructure and Vice Chairman of the Tender Board, Papali’i Niko Lee Hang, said the generator should be tendered given the amount.
He told the Samoa Observer that under the law, the board members can approve tender for $200,000 and any amount up to $500,000 is approved by the Tender board, while any projects costing more than half a million has to be approved by Cabinet.
“I have not seen the tender papers for the [$300,000] generator for the prison yet but it should be tendered and will take note of it,” Minister Papali’i said. “There has to be fair competition hence the purpose of having the Tender Board and the bid process in place."
In relation to the standby generator for the M.C.R. it will be stationed at the K9 unit at Tuanaimato as a backup system for the Ministry.
Minister of Finance, Sili Epa Tuioti, said in his Supplementary Budget indicated the standby generator will cost $115,000 for the M.C.R.
“It is imperative that the Tax Information Management System is not interrupted at any given time due to fluctuations in the electricity or due to prolonged electrical outages,” said Minister Sili.

MobileMark 2012 1.5 is an application-based benchmark that reflects usage patterns of business users in the areas of office productivity, media creation and media consumption. Unlike benchmarks that only measure battery life, MobileMark 2012 measures battery life and performance simultaneously, showing how well a system design addresses the inherent tradeoffs between performance and power management.
Vertex 4 was a power vampire, pulling as much power as a WD Scorpio Blue 5,400 RPM 2.5" HDD. Vector reeled the power in quite a bit, but not to the same levels as Samsung or Crucial on the m4.
PCMark Vantage HDD Test - Power Draw
Here we see where all that power goes. Vector has fairly high idle power, but at the same time, power consumption doesn't increase much when reading data from the drive. The random writes give us very high peaks, but only once did this drive pull more power than the others in the test.

With applicants and community boards racing to complete what they say has been a poorly communicated review process, the Office of Cannabis Management is belatedly touring the state to explain things.
Rosalind Adams and Jonathan Custodio, The City
One week after New York state opened the permit process for legal cannabis shops to the general public, community boards across the city have been bombarded by submissions that they are struggling to review.
Under the state’s 2021 law, a retail applicant must notify their local community board at least 30 days before submitting their application to the state and identify their proposed business location. But that provision was barely noticed until now because retail licenses had previously been limited to justice-impacted individuals whose store locations were provided by the state.
Hopeful dispensary operators tell THE CITY they’ve been caught off guard by the poorly-communicated requirement — as have community boards.
“I didn’t know we were gonna get flooded like this,” Manhattan Community Board 3 district manager Susan Stetzer told THE CITY.
The Manhattan board has hired a temporary freelancer to help review the 23 bids for potential pot shops they have received since applications for the general public opened on October 4.
The confusion now threatens to further delay the awarding of general licenses, the latest wrinkle in New York’s troubled licensed cannabis rollout, which has already been marred by months of delays and a slew of lawsuits.
Two years after the launch of the state’s Office of Cannabis Management, only 23 legal shops across the state are selling marijuana even as thousands of unlicensed ones have proliferated in New York City alone, bypassing the boards and the state entirely.
The Office of Cannabis Management did not respond to a request for comment. In a press release on Thursday, the agency said it was hosting a string of workshops across the state to answer questions for potential licensees about its general application process for adult use business licenses.
‘It’s a Lotto Ticket’
While community boards have long played a potent advisory role in making recommendations on liquor licenses applications, they are navigating new territory with pot for the first time. That includes sorting out what it means to vote against a store location, even as dozens of illegal shops may already operate in their community with no license at all.
Community Board 2 in Manhattan — which includes Greenwich Village and the first three dispensaries to open in the state — has already received 65 applications this month, Mar Fitzgerald, who chairs the board’s cannabis committee, told THE CITY.
Fitzgerald said that while she was prepared to some extent after holding hearings for the existing dispensaries, the board was now overwhelmed.
“We’ve really lost the ability to facilitate in-depth community engagement on these upcoming dispensaries in the sheer volume of applications that we have,” said Fitzgerald. “Our community coordinator’s desk is piled high right now.”
At a public hearing on Tuesday, the 22 members of Bronx Community Board 3 overwhelmingly rejected applications that had been submitted just a week earlier for two retail locations in Morrisania and one in Crotona Park, saying that they were concerned about how those shops would impact commercial strips already beset by drug use and gang activities.
Jon Purow, an attorney representing two of the rejected applicants, made a case for the economic and quality of life benefits of a licensed cannabis store, while arguing that unlicensed operations are more likely to sell drugs tainted with pesticides.
“There’s pressure on everyone,” Purow told THE CITY just after the meeting where his clients’ applications were voted down. “We’re up here making presentations not knowing if we’re gonna get the license or not. It’s a lotto ticket. And we’re thrusting this upon community boards that are not prepared for this, have no guidelines. It’s unfortunately created a tough situation for everyone on all sides.”
The board’s co-chair, the Rev. Frederick Crawford, explained at the meeting that, “My main concern is that they’re always looking in The Bronx, in particular this part of The Bronx,”
“You talk about all the positive things it’s doing in the community,” he said. “Well, it should do the same thing in Riverdale. It should do the same thing in Staten Island.”
Other board members applauded in response when he repeated that, “It’s always our community.”
‘The Craziest Thing You’ve Ever Heard Of?’
Community boards all over the city are feeling the effect of the state’s new process, as prospective license holders are sometimes bombarding them with multiple applications to increase their chances in what critics say amounts to a lottery system in which only a handful of qualified applicants will end up with licenses.
Rafael Moure-Punnett, the district manager for Bronx Community Board 6, which covers Bathgate, Belmont, East Tremont, and West Farms, told THE CITY on Thursday that they have received nine applications this month — many from applicants who have applied several times over.
“Applicants are just throwing applications out there in the hopes that they get picked in this kind of lottery system that OCM is using,” he said, noting that the board had received multiple applications for some of the same addresses. “It seems like they’re just doing high volume in the hopes that something sticks.”
In a sign of how haphazard the process has been, Moure-Punnett said that five of the applications the community board has received are for stores that would be within 1,000 feet of the only licensed pot store in The Bronx, despite the law prohibiting stores from being that close to one another, or to places of worship or schools.
Boards have 30 days to review each notification and offer their opinion to the state. That opinion becomes part of an applicant’s file that the state considers when awarding a license. Boards do not have the power to deny an applicant’s license, similar to the liquor license process.
The short timeline means many boards likely will have to seek extensions from OCM— adding another delay for hopeful licensees. And sorting through the applications in October is a heavy lift for community boards that, Stetzer noted, are also voting on their district needs statements and budget priorities for the coming fiscal year.
“You’re gonna have OCM people processing a 30-day extension from 59 boards for every damn application” said Stetzer. “Is this not the craziest thing you’ve ever heard of?”
One more reason for the haste and confusion is that some of the 463 people who received conditional licenses before a court froze that process in August are eligible for what the state is calling “final licenses” as long as they already have secured a lease or a deed. But OCM gave that group just 30 days to get applications in, as well, with the clock starting on October 4 — the same day as for new applicants.
The Office of Cannabis Management said in an email last week that it will begin the review for those final licenses 30 days after the window closes to ensure that everyone meets the 30-day notification window.
At a webinar the Office of Cannabis Management hosted on Thursday to address community board members’ questions and concerns, Executive Director Chris Alexander acknowledged the burden on the community boards.
“We know that you all have been getting inundated with notifications that folks are applying,” said Alexander.
In the question and answer period, one community board member asked how to evaluate three applicants who had applied for the same location.
A second asked about how to respond to applicants who wanted to stay open until two in the morning. A third asked what to do about people who had submitted notifications with a location they believed was non-existent or the site of an active business, making it unlikely that a new tenant could come in.
“I don’t really know what to say there,” Alexander responded. “I don’t know whatever process you all may have to determine that an address is real.”

The sharing economy and housing affordability: what impact, what solutions?
Are home-sharing services taking housing off the long-term rental market and therefore playing a significant role in driving up rents to unaffordable levels? Is rent rising faster in neighbourhoods where sharing economy platforms are most popular? What is the role for cities and rental-platforms in addressing the housing crisis?
These are the key takeaways from the HSP Debate, which took place on 22nd, January 2018. The gallery includes all the presentations, which were presented during the event. The event is still available to watch on FEANTSA's Facebook page.
Not enough data, but evidence of a decisive impact in some urban areas
There is little empirical evidence about the impact of sharing economy platforms on housing prices.
Despite methodological challenges, first results from two research projects about the impact of the presence of Airbnb on prices and rents in the USA and in Barcelona indicate a decisive contribution of short-term rentals in rents and housing prices.
In the USA, Kyle Barron (National Bureau of Economic Research), Edward Kung (UCLA) and Davide Proserpio (University of Southern California) conducted a study of the impact of AirBnB on housing prices, based on an analysis of Airbnb dataset listings in the US over a six-year period (2011-2016). The results of their study show that Airbnb increases both rental rates and housing prices. It would explain 0.59% of the annual increase in US rental rates and 0.82% of the annual increase in US housing prices (1).
Initial results of one of the first studies on this theme in Europe concluded similar effects, namely that a 1-point increase in Airbnb density would lead to increases in rents of 0.5 to 1% and increases in prices of 1 to 1.8% in Barcelona (2).
The US study suggests the impact can be explained by the fact that a percentage of property owners remove their flats from the long-term rental market, expecting higher revenues from the short-term rentals market. They thereby contribute to a decrease in available housing and a subsequent rise in rent. There is a need for more research on this topic to allow for empirical based policy-making.
The way forward: evidence-based regulation adapted to fast changing technological developments
Several cities have started to introduce regulation of short-term rental activity.
It appears there is a need to differentiate between professional and occasional use. In order to do so, regulations usually distinguish between primary and secondary homes. In some countries, like France or Germany, large cities have introduced limitations on the number of days a home can be subjected to short-term rental. Dublin City Council is introducing legislation that will require property owners to seek planning permission before letting properties out short-term from June 2019. In Barcelona, the tourism strategy of the city implies differentiating regulation of tourist accommodation in different neighbourhoods, including a ban on new tourist accommodation in the city centre. In Amsterdam, the city has created a team to work on illegal short-term renting. In some places, short-term rental providers have started to collaborate with local authorities on regulation enforcement. Airbnb has made over 400 agreements with local and national governments across the globe. This work needs to be continued, focusing on interests of the general population rather than on the interest of some individuals.
The regulation of short-term rentals should be handled cautiously because of its complex effects. A recent study by the London School of Economics shows that regulation of secondary homes can lead to negative effects on local economies (3).
Private actors are also inventing new solutions: Fairbnb, the cooperative vacation rental platform operates on principles of “one host, one home”, transparency and 50% of profits being invested into community projects. According to Fairbnb, the collective goal should be to decrease the negative impacts and increase the positive impacts of the sharing economy.
At European level, the European Commission representative seeks to promote sustainable development of the sharing economy. According to the E-commerce directive and Service directive, the principle is that any restriction to an economic activity must be justified, must have a direct link to the desired impact of the regulation and must be proportional. The recommendations of a workshop on how to deal with collaborative short-term accommodation services are available on the website of the Commission (4).
To conclude, short-term rentals cannot be solely blamed for rises in house prices and rent, but they do appear to have a clear impact on these figures. It is becoming increasingly difficult to claim that there is little or no evidence of this. Policy makers are facing a real challenge in dealing with this growing phenomenon, which requires tailor-made solutions for each local situation. Despite the conceptual challenge, the dramatic human impact of housing financialisation remains a reality. The sharing economy platforms seem to be participating in this broader phenomenon. Therefore, the challenge is to accompany the development of peer to peer platforms, which seem to have become an unavoidable consequence of technological development, disrupting the housing market.

(8) Philadelphia 76ers (0-1) at (4) Boston Celtics (1-0), 7 p.m.
(Sports Network) - The Philadelphia 76ers missed out on a golden opportunity to send a message to the heavily favored Boston Celtics in their Eastern Conference semifinals set during Saturday's Game 1.
The upstart Sixers outplayed Boston for most of the contest until the Celtics' experience took over down the stretch in a 92-91 C's win.
Rajon Rondo recorded his eighth career playoff triple-double in the victory with 13 points, 17 assists and 12 rebounds, helping Boston overcome a 10-point fourth quarter deficit.
Kevin Garnett added a game-high 29 points and 11 rebounds for the fourth- seeded Celtics, who defeated the Hawks in six games to advance to the second round for the fifth straight season.
Andre Iguodala, who sent the eighth-seeded 76ers into the second round with a pair of last-second free throws on Thursday against Chicago, scored a team- high 19 points in the loss.
"We didn't get good looks," Iguodala said, referring to his team's play in the fourth quarter. "We were kind of trying to make the home run plays instead of just grinding it out."
The Sixers took two of three games from the Celtics during the regular season, the first time they won the season series since 2006-07 and they were in control for much of Game 1.
They held the night's largest lead -- 13 points -- late in the second quarter and were up 77-67 on Lavoy Allen's turnaround hook shot early in the fourth.
But Rondo spearheaded a 16-5 surge and the Celtics took their first lead of the quarter, 83-82, on his 18-foot jump shot with 3:47 remaining.
Spencer Hawes responded with a short bucket but Garnett scored five straight and Paul Pierce netted two of his 14 points with a step-back jumper to give Boston its largest lead of the game at 90-84.
Iguodala then drained a pull-up three-pointer and Jrue Holiday wrapped four points around a Pierce basket to pull Philadelphia within one, 92-91, with 3.4 seconds left.
Coming out of a timeout, Rondo sprinted into the backcourt to receive the inbounds pass from half court and eluded Evan Turner's foul attempt as time expired.
"I was struggling with my shot early, I was turning the ball over," said Rondo. "I decided to do the intangibles and do everything out there on the floor to help my team. I came up with some rebounds, came up with some assists and just happened to get a triple-double."
Turner had 16 points and 10 rebounds for the 76ers while Hawes finished with 15 points and Allen scored 12 as Philadelphia fell to 1-8 over their last nine playoff road games.
The Sixers, a young and athletic team who became just the fifth No. 8 seed to win a first-round series when they knocked off the Bulls, will now head in one of two directions depending on the team's mindset.
It's likely Doug Collins' club either learned it can indeed play with the Celtics and gained confidence or realizes it can't match Boston's battle- tested grit late.
"We know we can play with these guys and we know our strengths and what is going to help us win the games," Iguodala said. "We just got to work on our weaknesses and we have to grow from these situations. We have a lot of young guys who play a lot of minutes for us."
One thing is certain, however, the Celtics still aren't taking the Sixers all that seriously.
"It's funny, when we cut the lead the first time and then they pumped it back up to seven, nine . I didn't feel bad about the game," Boston coach Doc Rivers said. "I didn't know if we were going to win or lose. I did feel like mentally, our guys were still very much in the game, and, to me, that's a good sign."
This rivalry began all the way back in 1949-50 when the Sixers franchise called Syracuse home. Since the team relocated to the City of Brotherly Love, the 76ers and Celtics have met in the postseason 11 different times and eight of those were Eastern Conference finals. Boston has taken seven of the 11 series and is 51-43 overall in the playoffs against the Philadelphia franchise.
Game 3 of the set will take place Wednesday in Philadelphia.

Pop and Jazz in Review
By STEPHEN HOLDEN
Published: November 30, 1992
Pat Metheny Beacon Theater Upper West Side
"Secret Story," the newest album by the jazz guitarist and composer Pat Metheny, is a 75-minute suite of such textural complexity that until he and eight musicians played chunks of it on Wednesday evening, it had seemed too large-scale a work to be performed in concert form. But thanks to computer programming, which stored many of the album's sound effects and symphonic string orchestrations, the work was largely realized on the stage in all its orchestral grandeur.
A loosely connected suite of 14 songs, "Secret Story" is a movie soundtrack for a nonexistent film that is part world tour, part romantic drama. Its international flavors run from the high nasal singing of the Choir of the Cambodian Royal Palace to the Brazilian samba that has long been one of Mr. Metheny's adopted musical signatures. Among the suite's more striking songs performed by the ensemble were the delicately percussive "Cathedral in a Suitcase," which suggests romanticized Steve Reich, and the Argentine-flavored "Antonia," a modified tango whose lead instrument is an accordion synthesizer.
The suite also includes the most intensely romantic music Mr. Metheny has ever written. Two of the concert's high points were the love songs "Always and Forever," an idyllic reverie for acoustic guitar, percussion, bass and strings, and "Tell Her You Saw Me," an elegiac ballad whose harmonic style echoes Gabriel Faure.
More than any of his previous projects, "Secret Story" confirms Mr. Metheny as a musical conservative and an impressionist who is interested above all in creating exotic and beautiful musical pictures that blend the vocabularies of world music, jazz-fusion and Hollywood film scores. Mr. Metheny is also gadget-crazed. One of his favorite electronic sounds, created on a guitar synthesizer, suggests a trumpet squealing exuberantly in a register far above what an acoustic trumpet could reach.
As sweeping as much of it is, his music has its weaker aspects. Compositions that begin strongly often build to gargantuan peaks before simply petering out in nondescript finales. Many run on too long and in no particular direction. And the more animated songs are sometimes puffed up with grandiose arena-rock drum rolls. The synthesizers that Mr. Metheny uses to alter the timbre of his guitar can produce a woozy tonality that grates against the music's more precise inner voices. And Mr. Metheny's lead-guitar playing, while technically virtuosic, tends to be very self-effacing. His solos, while endlessly melodic, rarely explore the coarser, darker, more aggressive sides of the instrument.
Given these reservations, the music on Wednesday still captivated through its sheer symphonic sweep, pictorial vividness and open-hearted romanticism. And Mr. Metheny and his musicians, most notably his principal keyboardist and right-hand man, Gil Goldstein, demonstrated an impressive precision and teamwork.
