There have been all sorts of predictions about the exact moment when newspapers will vanish. Anyone who has dared to put a date to the disappearance of newsprint has, naturally enough, suffered from much scorn.
But an Australian-based futurist, Ross Dawson, is clearly unworried by the inevitable brickbats that will strike him.
So here are his predictions: newspapers will cease to exist in the US within seven years. They will die in Britain and Iceland in 2019, in Canada and Norway in 2020 and in Australia in 2022.
That's going to be a bad period for ink-on-dead-trees because papers will also become extinct in Hong Kong, Finland, Singapore and Greenland the the following couple of years.
But France, due to governmental support for newspapers, will have papers until 2029 and Germany will last out until 2030.
Dawson has published a "newspaper extinction timeline" on his blog, along with his reasoning.
He predicts newsprint will be "insignificant" in 52 countries by 2040, where it will replaced by technologies such as lightweight, interactive digital paper that can show video, but can also be rolled and folded.
However, newspapers will continue to flourish in developing markets such as Africa, parts of South America and parts of Asia.
Dawson is quoted in The Australian as saying:"In the developed world, newspapers are in the process of becoming extinct, driven by rapidly changing use of media and revenues out of line with cost structures."
He believes that the key transcendent technological breakthrough will be the marketing of devices more convenient to use than the iPad.

The heterologous expression of Bax, and other Bcl-2 family members, in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, has proved to be a valuable reporter system to investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying their interaction with mitochondria. By combining the co-expression of Bax and Bcl-xL mutants with analyzes of their localization and interaction in mitochondria and post-mitochondrial supernatants, we showed that the ability of Bax and Bcl-xL to interact is dependent both on Bax phosphorylation-mimicked by a substitution S184D-and by Bax and Bcl-xL localization. This, and previous data, provide the molecular basis for a model of dynamic equilibrium for Bax localization and activation, regulated both by phosphorylation and Bcl-xL.

Botanical Name: Sonneratia apetala
Synonyms: Blatti James Edward Smith,Sonneratia acida, Ammania caseolaris
Common Names: Tak Keora,Crabapple Mangrove, Mangrove Apple, Firefly Mangrove, Berembang
Habitat: Sonneratia apetala is native to Coastal areas of Bangladesh, India, Sri Lanka and Myanmar. It grows in the upstream estuarine zones in the low to mid-intertidal regions, where it colonizes newly accreted mudflats of moderate to strongly saline conditions, often forming pure stands.
Sonneratia apetala is a fast-growing evergreen tree with a columnar crown; it can grow up to 15 metres tall with occasional specimens to 20 metres and a trunk 20 – 30cm in diameter. Plants grow 25 – 30 metres tall in Bangladesh. The tree produces pneumatophores (vertical roots arising above the ground from shallow, horizontal roots) up to 1.5 metres tall.
The tree is commonly harvested from the wild for a variety of local uses as food, medicine and a source of materials, whilst the wood is also traded nationally and the fruit is sold in local markets. It is a very important component of mangrove swamps and has been widely planted as a fast-growing species for the reforestation of mangrove communities.
Sonneratia apetala is common through most of its range, but there are increasing threats to mangrove swamps in general, mainly from human activities. Consequently, the tree has been classified as ‘Least Concern’ in the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.
Sonneratia apetala is a plant of moist coastal areas in the tropics. It succeeds in areas where annual daytime temperatures range between 20 – 30°c, though it tolerates 10 – 35°c. It prefers a mean annual rainfall of 1,650 – 1,800mm, tolerating 1,300 – 3,000mm, and succeeds in areas with no dry season as well as those with a dry season.
Requires a sunny position. Grows best in a heavy soil. The plant is usually found in silty-clay to sandt soils in the wild. Plants are very tolerant of saline conditions and maritime winds. Prefers a pH in the range 6.8 – 7.2, tolerating 6.5 – 7.5.
If the tree is damaged by strong winds then the crown usually recovers very quickly – if the tree is blown over then it usually recovers quickly by producing coppice shoots.
The plant usually starts producing seed when it is around 3 – 4 years old.
The flowers are nocturnal, opening in the evening and falling off in the morning.
Seed – it has a low viability of less than three months. The mature fruits should be harvested and then kept in sack for two weeks to allow the fleshy mesocarp to rot in order to collect the seeds. The fruits should then be gently crushed and the seeds, along with the debris, should be sown in a nursery bed. Germination usually takes 20 to 30 days. Pot up seedlings into containers of estuarine mud and water regularly. Plant out into permanent positions when around 50cm tall with at least 6 leaves.
Fruit. A sour flavour. They are used to make pickles and vinegar, and also as vegetables. The fruit is extensively consumed by coastal communities in Bangladesh.
The leaves are used both internally and externally to treat a range of conditions including hepatitis, dysentery, sprains and bruises, open sores and eye problems.
Both the fruits and the bark have remedial activity against asthma, fevers, ulcer, swelling, sprains, bleeding, haemorrhages and piles. They are also used in the treatment of heart troubles.
The fruits have antioxident, antibacterial, antifungal and astringent activity.
The fruit juice is used as tonic and to treat diarrhoea.
Traditionally fruits are used to treat gastrointestinal disorders.
The seeds and pericarp have anthocyanins that limit the development of cancers, cardiovascular diseases, neurodegenerative diseases and diabetes.
The bark extract has shown moderate antiinflamatory activity.
The reddish brown wood is fine-grained, moderately strong, moderately heavy with a specific gravity 0.54 (air dried), and durable. It is suitable for structures requiring moderate strength though it is not suitable for quality furniture. It is used for making lower-grade furniture and also for boat building, panelling, board and box manufacturing. It is also used as raw material in match industry for the production of match sticks.
The pneumatophores are used for cork manufacturing and also for decorative purposes.
The wood is widely used locally as a fuel.
A very important tree in the coastal swamp community, helping to protect the soil from erosion and providing an important habitat for wildlife.
It is a fast-growing, pioneering species that colonizes on newly formed mudflats, and has been widely planted for the reforestation of mangrove communities and stabilization of newly acreted mud flats.
The flowers are a good source of nectar for bees.

Latest News – July 29
Badge of Honor Earned Along the Mineral Belt Trail
By Kathy Bedell
Happy 13th Anniversary to Leadville’s Mineral Belt Trail!
Yes, today marks the day of dedication for Leadville’s premier walking, biking, running, long boarding, skiing, snowshoeing and anything else non-motorized trail!
The story of the Mineral Belt Trail (MBT) is one of great community collaboration, with everyone working towards a common goal.
So many locals and visitors use the trail daily. Everyone has their favorite route, or spot where they take in the view or catch their breath. To celebrate the MBT’s anniversary, here’s a story about a little known feature along this wonderful path. Let’s see how many readers already know about it!Telling Tubes
This feature does not have an official name, nor can it be seen clearly from the paved trail, its 13-year-old sign now worn and faded by the weather and sun. This hidden gem can be found between MBT mile markers 10 & 11, the portion of the trail that has the “gold” stripe as its centerline.
“Oh yea, the Viewing Tubes,” said MBT committee member and Leadville native Howard Tritz when asked about this unique MBT feature. “It was a kid who did those, all by himself. It was his Eagle Scout badge project,” he recalled. Cool! At least now, it has an unofficial name: Viewing Tubes Park (VTP on the MBT!)The Viewing Tubes Park – helping users to find their peak!
Visitors stopping at the “VTP” turnout will find a series of old-school viewing tubes, located about 40 feet off the trail. The tubes are precisely arranged to allow viewers to look through the scope, viewing a particular peak. Then peak peerers can simply look down to identify the correct name of the mountain – each of which are labeled vertically down the scope’s stand: Mt. Elbert, Mt. Massive, Mt. Sheridan, Mt. Sherman, Mt. Hope, and Mt. Galena. No more wondering; which may not be a challenge for locals but can be for visitors.
In addition to the viewing tubes, the park also has a couple of picnic tables (well-weathered, requiring a splinter-beware approach) and a bike rack. The entire park had a camoflauge theme, making it a bit challanging to see from the MBT.
So who built this peak pointer-outer? While Tritz couldn’t remember the guy’s name (maybe someone else does – let’s hear from you!), the project was done by a Leadville Boy Scout. The year was 2000; in fact, according to Tritz, the Viewing Tubes project was done congruent with the MBT construction, hoping to earn the young man a prestigious Eagle Scout Badge.
Now for those who may not know, this badge includes an extensive service project that the Scout plans, organizes, leads, and manages. The award visibly recognizes his accomplishments, in this case, providing solid geographical information to tens of thousands of folks who use the MBT every year. Job well done and the Scout surely earned his award!
So be sure to make the Viewing Tubes Park one of your stops the next time you’re out on Leadville’s Mineral Belt Trail. Happy Anniversary, MBT . . . and many more to come!
The Side Bet:
No good journalistic quest in this town comes without some kind of sidebar story. This one’s no exception. It seems when this MBT project – the Viewing Tubes Park – was being built, there was a certain local official who didn’t have a whole lotta faith in this young lad trying to earn his Eagle Scout Badge. In fact, the guy was convinced that the Scout had mixed up Mts. Sherman and Sheridan when he placed the viewing tubes for those peaks.
The overzealous official was so convinced of the error that he decided to put his money where his mouth was and see if anyone would take a $100 bet. So who had confidence in the young lad’s sense of direction? Well, Howard Tritz did!
“I said, ‘Okay it’s a deal – cause I knew that kid had it right’,” recalled Tritz. The bet was officially settled when the two men had local forest officials confirm the young scout’s correct tubing ID. Later that night, the Scout proudly accepted his Eagle Badge at the Elks Lodge!
But there was also another winner that day: the Lake County Democratic Party, who was the recipient of a $100 donation made in the name of a commissioner – from another party – who made a lousy bet against a Leadville Eagle Scout!
Now all that’s need is another $100, so the local Boy Scouts can fix the signage to the “Viewing Tubes Park” area, making it a more more easy-to-find MBT feature! It’s real cool . . . old-school!

A 17-year-old boy is dead after a shooting Thursday night in Fridley, authorities said.
Officers were called to the area near 6100 5th Street NE. on multiple reports of shots fired, including some stating that a male was hurt, according to Lt. Dan Douglas of the Anoka County Sheriff’s Office.
When Fridley police arrived, they found the 17-year-old, who is from Minneapolis, Douglas said. The teenager was taken to HCMC in Minneapolis, where he later died.
The teen’s name was not being released pending notification of his relatives. Investigators were interviewing witnesses, Douglas said.
Douglas said the case does not appear to be random and the public is not at risk.

Kennedy comes from behind to win Bassmaster Elite at Dardanelle
Category: press release
Jun 6th, 2017 by OutdoorsFIRST
Modified Nov 20th, 2018 at 10:00 PM
Steve Kennedy of Auburn, Ala., wasn’t dominating the event until he weighed 16 pounds, 9 ounces of bass during the final weigh-in to take home $100,000 and the third championship of his career at the GoPro Bassmaster Elite at Lake Dardanelle presented by Econo Lodge.
A big bass late in the day on Monday that weighed 5-10 anchored his five-bass limit and pushed his four-day winning weight to 63-12. The last time Kennedy topped a Bassmaster Elite Series field was in 2011 at Georgia’s West Point Lake.
“I’ve been so close so many times before, and I’ve usually lost tournaments because of a missed bite, or losing a fish before I could get it inside the boat,” Kennedy said. “It sure feels good to win one, especially after nearly winning this year’s Classic on Conroe.”
Kennedy won $50,000 for an impressive second-place finish at the 2017 GEICO Bassmaster Classic presented by DICK’S Sporting Goods in March on Lake Conroe in Texas.
The 48-year-old veteran made a 100-mile round trip each day to fish a small backwater just below the Ozark Dam on the Arkansas River.
“I found that spot during practice, and since the water is over 20 feet high right now, I was able to get my Bass Cat into the small pond-like area,” he said. “Once I got in there, I was impressed with the amount of life that was present. There were gar surfacing everywhere, shad flicking and bass feeding, which told me it was worth a visit each day.”
On Friday’s opening round of competition, he made the run to the dam and caught 16-10, which had him quietly in ninth place. Saturday morning he went to the same location, caught 14-3 and moved up the leaderboard into fifth place.
“On Sunday I caught 16-6, which had me in third place and I knew I had a real shot,” he said. “After I caught that big fish today I felt like I had it locked up, but Mark Davis kept it too close for comfort.”
Davis of Mount Ida, Ark., led the event on both Saturday and Sunday, but could only manage 13-10 on the final day and finished second, only 1-10 behind Kennedy.
Most of the fish that Kennedy brought to the scales this week were caught on a 3/4-ounce D&L Advantage flipping jig with a white plastic trailer.
“I used the exact same program at the Classic back in March,” he said. “There was still a bit of a shad spawn going on this week, and by swimming the jig through the willows, stopping it and letting it fall along the edge of the weeds, the bass would absolutely smoke it. I also caught several fish on a green pumpkin swim jig, and a few on topwater.”
With Kennedy’s wife and children there to congratulate his victory, he was elated.
“It’s been a while,” he said. “I put a lot of pressure on myself to perform and do well, and when I don’t succeed I take it hard. It means a lot to my family and me to bring home one of those coveted blue trophies.”
Other top finishers included Kevin VanDam, third with 60-11; Mark Menendez, who won here in 2009, fourth with 57-9; and Dean Rojas, fifth with 56-7.
Ott DeFoe, who finished 15th at Dardanelle with 41-12, has a slight lead over Jacob Wheeler and Brandon Palaniuk for Toyota Bassmaster Angler of the Year with three more regular season tournaments remaining in the Elite Series. He was awarded $1,000 for leading the Toyota Bassmaster Angler of the Year points race at the end of the event.
David Mullins of Mount Carmel, Tenn., claimed the $1,500 Phoenix Boats Big Bass Award for a 6-pound, 8-ounce largemouth he caught during Friday’s opening round.
Davis won the Livingston Lures Day 2 Leader Award of $500 for leading the tournament on Saturday’s second day of competition.
Jamie Hartman of Newport, N.Y., won the Toyota Bonus Bucks Award of $3,000 for being the highest-placing eligible entrant in the program. The second-highest-placing eligible entrant, Cliff Pace of Petal, Miss., received $2,000.
Kevin VanDam of Kalamazoo, Mich., earned the Power-Pole Captain’s Cash Award of $1,000 for being the highest-placing angler who is registered and eligible and uses a client-approved product on his boat.
The event was hosted by the Russellville Advertising and Promotion Commission.

I haven’t done a book tag in forever! So I decided to search Youtube for a book tag that I would actually enjoy. I’m a Disney kid at heart and I know almost every song of my favorite Disney movies. So obviously, I had to definitely do this tag! I’m not exactly sure who was the original creator, but on Youtube its BrunetteBibliophile.
A Whole New World: Pick a book that made you see the world differently
I’m not really a reader of these kinds of books. Don’t get me wrong, I really enjoyed reading this book, but It’s not usually a genre I gravitate to. While reading this book though, it allowed me to learn new things.
Cruella De Vill: Pick your favorite villain.
Cruella is actually one of those Disney villains that gave me the chills. All villains should be able to, but Disney antagonists are usually tamer. Cruella on the other hand is ruthless and immoral, Just like the Mayor in The Knife of Never Letting Go. Obviously, it will be one of my favorite because villains are suppose to be creepy and must get under your skin. The Mayor definitely keeps you on the edge of your seat.
I won’t say I’m in Love: Pick a book you didn’t want to admit you loved
I’m not really hiding the fact that I enjoy this book, in fact the sequel to this book is one of my most anticipated release, but I don’t have books that I’m ashamed of reading. There are some controversies regarding this author, so I guess it can qualify for this question. I don’t really care if people have a problem I enjoy this book, its my preference, but I needed to include something here.
Gaston: Pick a character that you couldn’t stand
I don’t want any hate coming my way, but I’m not a fan of Divergent and I’m definitely not a fan of Tris. I don’t remember a whole lot of the story, but I remember how much I dislike her.
Part of your World: Pick a book set in a universe you wish you could live in.
Definitely Rivendell! I fell in love with the realm of Elves of Middle Earth in this book and I can’t want to re-visit when I start reading The Lord of the Rings.
A Dream is a Wish your Heart makes: describe what the book of your dreams would be like
The book needs to be action pack with a very well created world. I would prefer a book that has romance with the male character to be a good-at-heart ‘bad boy’ and the romance will start out with a lot of animosity between the two, but eventually fall in love. Yea, yea I know I’m a weird sappy reader. Also, I would prefer a book to be fast pace, but still be well constructed. The deal breaker for me though is the ending, it MUST be a happy ending. Disney, sappy, all sunshine, happily ever after ending!
Someday my Prince will come: What book character would you marry if you could
I’m not a fangirly type of reader, so I don’t really have the urge to fictionally marry characters. Their are certain characters that I love, but I would prefer them to end up with the ones I want them to end up with.
I see the Light: Pick a book that changed your life.
This is one of my very first ‘adult’ mystery books that I have read and it opened a whole new genre for me. I’ve always enjoyed mystery novels, but this introduced me to a more mature books. Thank God for Agatha Christie!
When you Wish Upon a Star: Pick a book you wish you could reread for the first time
I know this book is in almost all of my book tags, but seriously if I can forget one whole series and have a chance to re-read all over again, I would pick this series. To be able to immerse myself in this world again, but with no prior knowledge, seems like an amazing experience.
I just can’t wait to be King: Pick a book with some kind of monarchy in it.
This series has all kinds of royalty and it also revolves around the royal families!
Colors of the wind: Pick a book with a beautiful colorful cover.
This book is eyegasm to the max. I can’t help but stare at this cover because of how pretty it is. I haven’t read this book , but the cover…so drool worthy!
I’m actually really surprised these questions are a lot more difficult to answer. I tag anyone who wants to do this!

Security operatives comprising the Nigeria Police Force and soldiers of the Nigerian Army on Friday stormed the Abuja home of Justice Mary Odili, a court of the Supreme Court, in an apparent attempt to search it.
Justice Odili is the wife of Peter Odili, a former two-term governor of Rivers State, who is currently being investigated by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC)
According to sources, the security agents operated under a Joint Panel Recovery unit of the Ministry of Justice, which comprises the EFCC, the Nigeria Police Force and the Ministry of Justice.
The panel was said to have obtained a search warrant from a Chief Magistrates’ Court in Abuja to search the residence of the justice, located at Maitama, Abuja.
The warrant was approved by Chief Magistrate, Emmanuel Iyanna, on 29 October after a whistleblower, Aliyu Umar, claimed to have observed illegal activities going on at No. 9, Imo Street, Maitama, Abuja.
The affidavit partly stated: “That I am sure and convinced that the kind of activities going on in those houses within Abuja is illegal and hereby report the said matter to the law enforcement agency.
“That I hereby state that all information provided by me to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) are true and correct to the best of my knowledge.
“That this affidavit is made in good faith and for record purposes.”
Consequently, Lawrence Ajodo, a Chief Superintendent of Police and a member of the investigation team under the asset tax recovery panel of the Ministry of Justice, sought a warrant to carry out a search.
A source stated that Justice Odili, who is one of the most senior justices in the country, was upset about the decision of the EFCC to search her home.
“EFCC operatives armed with a search warrant stormed Justice Odili’s home today, claiming to be investigating her husband,” the Punch quoted the source as saying.
“Justice Odili insisted that it was her personal house and not her husband’s own.”
Following the invasion by the security operatives Nyesom Wike, Governor of Rivers State, who is in Abuja for the National Convention of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), arrived at the justice’s residence to see things for himself.
Governor Wike was accompanied by Abiye Sekibo, a former minister of transportation; Raymond Dokpesi, founder of DAAR Communications; Austin Okpara, a former deputy speaker of the house of representatives; Okon Aniete and Lee Maeba, a former senator.
It is, however, not known if the governor and his delegation met with Justice Odili.
Meanwhile, the EFCC has denied the involvement of its operatives in the search.
According to a statement issued by Wilson Uwujaren, EFCC’s Head of Media and Publicity on Friday, the anti-graft agency at no time participated in the process.
The statement read: “The attention of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has been drawn to claims in a section of the media that operatives of the Commission today, October 29, 2021, stormed the Maitama, Abuja home of a Judge of the Supreme Court, Justice Mary Odili, purportedly to execute a search.
“The Commission by this statement wishes to inform the public that the report is false as it did not carry out any operation at the home of Justice Odili.
“If there was any such operation as claimed by the media, it was not carried out by the EFCC.
“The Commission enjoins the public to discountenance the report.”

The 49ers bulked up their practice squad Monday with an offensive tackle and a tight end. The team signed tackle Donald Hawkins, who was released from the Dolphins practice squad earlier this month, as well as tight end Brian Leonhardt, who started three games for the Raiders last season.
Leonhardt, listed at 6-5, 255 pounds, played collegiately at Bemidji State, which also is where 49ers general manager Trent Baalke went to school. He had six receptions for 35 yards and one touchdown for Oakland last year. He was waived in September, signed to the Browns practice squad on October 20 and released by the Browns on November 11.
Hawkins, listed at 6-4, 305 pounds, originally was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Eagles last year. He’s spent time with Philadelphia, Cleveland, Dallas and Miami.
The 49ers recently promoted cornerbacks Marcus Cromartie and Chris Davis from the practice squad. Both played in the recent win over the Falcons.
During training camp, the 49ers had eight tight ends they thought were capable of playing in the regular season. After trading three of them, they have three -- Garrett Celek, Vance McDonald and Blake Bell -- on the active roster. Before Leonhardt’s signing, they had no tight ends on the practice squad. Rookie Rory Anderson is on injured reserve.

About this item
Lil Static continue to bring the noise, following up hot recuts of Kraftwerk, Biggie and Nas with a fine repress of the debut single from GOAT MC Rakim and DJ hero Eric B. Originally dropping as a 12" on Zakia before landing on their "Paid In Full" LP, "Eric B Is President" sees Rakim work his lyrical magic over the top of a sampledelic beat constructed from snippets of James Brown, The Mohawks and Mountain, whose "Long Red" appears on the flipside here in edited form. If you're after frazzled guitar riffs, rock heft and big breaks, I'd suggest you wrap your ears around the B-side here.

As of the 1st August 2017 Impact Academy will cease trading and the venue will be run by a non-profit Community Interest Company (CiC). Fortunately, most of the classes will continue running with the same timetable. Most of the activities and instructors will continue running their classes independently. This means we will no longer be using Glofox as a central payment method, and all payments will need to be paid to the person in charge of the activity. Your instructor will give you further details.
Classes until this changeover will remain the same and you will not be expected to do anything different than you have been.
The Glofox system will be stopped on July 30th 2017. As a means of phasing out Glofox, we encourage you to pay by cash, card, or cheque until this deadline. Your remaining credits after the deadline will be refunded pro rata, just speak to the receptionist at the front. (For Taekwondo, your credits can roll over until the 18th of August). To help prevent any issues, monthly Glofox deals will now be unavailable to allow customers to use their remaining credits for the remaining lessons.
Time Slots: Taekwondo will retain its Monday, Wednesday, and Friday classes. It’s Thursday class will be replaced with a Saturday class. This change will commence on the July 13th. When you return a new payment system will be in place. Contracts made with Glofox can be carried on until the 18th of August.
During the period of 14th of July until the 18th of August, Taekwondo will be running a once a week lesson on a Friday with its current Friday time-slot. The cost for the month is a 4-credit equivalent, or the respected pay as you go cost for your lesson. Payments should be made to the receptionist by cash or card, rather than Glofox.
Payment: From the 18th August there will no longer be a Bronze, Silver, Gold memberships or individual lessons. Instead, all lessons will be unlimited for a fixed monthly fee paid by cash/card/cheque, or sign up to a direct debit which will provide a £5 per month discount.
New prices will be as follows:
|Pay as you go price||Price per month
|Price per month
|TKD Kids Beginners (30 minutes)||N/A||£35||£30|
|TKD Kids Advanced (45 minutes)||N/A||£40||£35|
If you have any customised contracts with Impact Academy they will be stopped. You will be asked to sign-on with our new direct debit system and pricing starting August 18th.
Time: Muay Thai will be retaining its current allocated time slot on Monday 8:00pm, but Thursdays have been cancelled until further notice Payment: All fees and payments must be made directly to the instructor depending on his payment methods. Ask your instructor for further details.
Time: Kickboxing will no longer be running its Saturday 10:00am class, but only on Tuesday at 8:00pm and Thursday at 7:30pm. Payments: Payments are to be given at the end of the lesson for singles and monthly payments can be paid only in cash (for now) to the instructor. For pricing please speak with your instructor.
Boxing will be taken over by a new company which will be developing the back and installing it with new equipment such as bags, mitts, a ring and many other items to improve your boxing experience. As such, boxing will be closed from the period of July 1st until September to allow for refurbishment of the back and the installation of equipment. If it is completed sooner, a reminder will be delivered to inform you.
They will be affiliated with the Amateur Boxing Association (ABA) in order to help beginners learn the fundamentals of boxing and self-defence and giving the option to partake in amateur boxing competitions. Prices will need to be confirmed by your new boxing coach and will be provided to you at a later date.
Times: MMA will continue operating on Saturdays at 12pm for 1.5h.
Payment: MMA payments will need to be paid directly to the instructor. Please speak to your instructor for further information on prices and deals.
Kettle bells will continue to operate as it has been.
Zumba will be added starting July 20th on Thursday at 18:00 to 19:00. Prices have not yet been decided.
We apologise for any inconvenience these changes will cause you.
These dates and figures are subject to change and we will inform you if any changes are made. If you would like any more information, you can ask the receptionist at the desk, or send an e-mail. Your instructors will follow up with a letter providing more information.

Gun raid duo JAILED
Two men sent down over gun raid at bookies
TWO men have been jailed after a Llandudno betting shop was held up at gunpoint.
Jaher Miah ran into the shop in Gloddaeth Street with an air gun pistol and told the terrified cashier: “Give me the money or I’ll shoot you”.
Miah, 21, who had part of his face covered with a bandana, had also threatened to open fire if the police were called.
As he was pointing the gun, he pulled back the mechanism and handed over a bag, which the cashier Peter Halliday put £213 into.
Mold Crown Court yesterday heard that Miah’s partner in crime, Andrew Owens, 21, of Maes Clyd, Llandudno, worked at another William Hill bookies in the town.
While he was not directly involved in the robbery, he was found guilty of conspiring with Miah and sentenced to two and a half years in prison.
Miah, of Carmen Sylva Way in Llandudno, was sent to jail for four and a half years.
Prosecutor Simon Mills told the court that a man working near the betting shop saw a BMW with the letters M and X in the registration which had been driven around the area in a suspicious manner.
A woman had seen a man walking near the shop the previous evening and another had spotted two men, their faces covered.
Miah was arrested when he turned up in the BMW at the shop where Owens worked at 6.30pm on the day of the robbery.
Mr Mills read a series of texts which had passed between the two men, planning the robbery.
Further inquiries revealed that Miah, a delivery man, had debts of £1,500.
He lied to police about trying to get a haircut at the time of the robbery.
Owens had been arrested at his home two days after the robbery.
In an impact statement Mr Halliday said a security screen had since been erected at the bookie’s which isolated him from customers, and it was “no longer the job it used to be”.
The robbery had a massive impact on his wife, who wanted to leave the area.
Owen Edwards, for Miah, said he came from an impeccable background and there was another side to his character.
He had a good working record and acknowledged the seriousness of what he had done.
Barrister Duncan Bould, for Owens, said he came from a hard working family and was remorseful.
Passing sentence Judge Rowlands said Miah had been smoking cannabis since the age of 11 and was £2,000 in debt, and Owens, smoking it since 15, had a debt of £3,000 with a £20-a-day habit.
“It ought to be a salutary lesson to anyone thinking of smoking cannabis from a young age,” commented the judge.
He said Owens had been guilty of “a very serious breach of trust” towards his employers whereas Miah had taken an imitation firearm, pointing it straight at Mr Halliday.
Jailed: Jaher Miah (above) and Andrew Owens

NYX Mango Cafe Nail Polish is a beautiful colour for spring and summer. It is a cream coral/pink shade. It actually looks a little more pink in the first picture than it actually is. The second picture shows the colour more accurate.
I have never purchased NYX nail polishes before and picked a few up because they were on sale. I am very pleased with the nail polish as it seems to hold up as long as any other nail polish I have. The formula goes on very smooth and the brush picks up a decent amount. I did two coats of this particular colour, next time I might do three coats for better opacity. I definitely will be picking up more NYX nail polish in the future.

Fans of X-Men have something new to look forward to. Bryan Singer recently announced that Olivia Munn will be joining the cast of “X-Men: Apocalypse.” She will be playing Betsy Braddock who transforms into Psylocke. X-Men aficionados should know that Pyslocke has telekinetic ability and her mind is impenetrable to other telepaths.
Although Olivia is the latest addition to the cast, it was also recently announced that a handful of stars will be included as well like Lana Condor, Sophie Turner, Alexandra Shipp, Tye Sheridan and Kodi Smit-McPhee.
X-Men Apocalypse will again feature Jennifer Lawrence as the shape-shifter Mystique, James McAvoy as Charles Xavier and Michael Fassbender as Magneto.
Are you excited for X-Men Apocalypse?

This story has been on the down-low for a long time, and now because of leaks (including to us and WSJ), a hurried announcement has been made: Jon Miller and Ross Levinsohn’s much anticipated media rollup fund will be announced next week, though the fund is nowhere close to announcing/doing any acquisition. Among the investors in the up-to-billion-dollar fund is PE firm General Atlantic. Expect some more investor to come in, say our sources. More here in the release.
The new fund is called Velocity Investment Group, and among the companies we have heard it is looking at is online video distribution firm Broadband Enterprises. The two have also been talking to numerous other companies, at least a dozen of them according to our sources. The focus initially is on platform/distribution companies.
Also, the two have been talking to various investors for while, and among them were Texas Pacific Group and at least two others. The fund came very close to doing a deal with Warburg Pincus, but Warburg was putting in too many restrictive clauses which the two didn’t agree to, and General Atlantic finally came through, our sources tell us.

The Royal Norwegian Navy has ordered naval strike missiles (NSM) and “life extension of the existing inventory of NSM” in a deal worth 1.4 billion Norwegian kroner ($169 million), Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace AS disclosed in a press release.
Under two contracts signed with the country’s procurement agency, the Scandinavian country’s navy will receive the NSMs for its frigates and corvettes, while the existing inventory will “go through a series of maintenance actions to extend their operational timeline.” This will continue to provide “state of the art defense capabilities” for the navy, Kongsberg said.
Naval Strike Missiles
The company describes its Naval Strike Missile as a “fifth-generation missile” designed for sea-to-land or sea-to-sea strike capabilities. It has a low radar signature that allows it to strike well-defended targets “with the ability to penetrate the most advanced air defense.”
Featuring “integrated sensors” the missile can seek and locate targets and includes a safety mechanism to minimize collateral damage and “self-destruct” capability unable to find its intended target.
It has a range of up to 100 nautical miles (115 miles or 185 kilometers) and is the primary weapon on Norwegian frigates and corvettes.

Given the mounting job losses, stock market volatility, and general economic uncertainty, it’s easy to worry about your money and be confused about what to do with it. Of course, everyone’s financial situation is different, but there are certain actions to take that can benefit almost anyone. Here are six financial pivots to make in a Covid-19 world.
1. Change your perspective about money.
In times of chaos like we’re facing now, most people start making decisions about money from positions of fear and scarcity. But times of chaos bring massive opportunities. So, start by changing your core beliefs about money, looking at it through the eyes of freedom, opportunity, possibility, and abundance. This will ground you in objective reality, helping you avoid making irrational emotional decisions.
2. Be entrepreneurial and solve problems.
Many people were forced to take a pay cut or lost their jobs because of Covid-19. This means it’s time to start acting entrepreneurial. At the heart of every big fortune is someone who solved a problem. Times of chaos bring all sorts of new problems that need to be solved. These problems will be everywhere. They’ll face the masses and be industry-specific. Use your natural talents and abilities to find the solutions and you’ll find plenty of new ways to earn money.
3. Negotiate everything.
If you’re left trying to figure out how you’re going to pay your mortgage or make your car payment this month, you’re not alone. Times are tough for a lot of us, and your lenders know they have to work with you. In this Covid-19 world we’re living in, absolutely everything is negotiable. Reach out to anyone you pay monthly—including banks, credit card companies, landlords, and car title holders—and ask them to reduce or defer your payments until this situation is behind us.
4. Inventory your assets and sell them for cash.
If you’ve been wanting to clean out your closets and garage, now’s the time to do it—and make money in the process. Items you no longer need—like kid’s toys, garden tools, slightly used furniture, and old sporting equipment—can all be sold for cash. Sell on eBay or other outlets, and keep the cash in a safe place in case you need it if the shutdown looms on.
5. Leverage your network.
Now’s the time to leverage your contacts, acquaintances, former employers, and anyone else who can help you if you’ve lost your job, or are in need of additional work and projects, or might need an introduction to someone who wants what you have to offer. The world’s wealthiest people use leverage all the time and so should you, especially during these difficult times.
6. Learn how money works and prepare yourself.
Some medical experts are predicting a second round of the coronavirus come the fall. Now’s the time to learn how money really works and get prepared. Re-evaluate your financial situation and study the basics of personal finance. If you’re lucky enough to have one, contact your financial professional and make sure you have things in order and are prepared for the unknown.
A final note
Although times might be tough now, and it’s hard to imagine the end of all this, it’s not going to be like this forever. In fact, when the turnaround hits, hold on tight. It may take some time, but eventually business is going to comeback in full swing. The self-made wealthy are getting ready for the turnaround. And you should be, too.
Steve Siebold is author of the book How Money Works and a self-made millionaire who has interviewed more than 1,300 of the world’s wealthiest people over the last 35 years.
As the COVID-19 continues its disruption, the livelihood of many entrepreneurs and small business owners has been threatened. According to a recent Goldman Sachs survey, 50% of business owners that were surveyed said they didn’t think they could continue business operations for more than three months.
In the past few weeks, millions of hardworking Americans have had to take an unfamiliar (and in most cases, virtual) stroll into the unemployment office following the shelter in place orders given to slow the spread of COVID-19. If you’ve never gone through the process of filing for unemployment, there are some terms and technicalities worth wrapping your head around so that you can end up with a weekly check to tide you over until your next job.
For those who are invested in such things, be they prospective students assessing which school to attend or alumni wondering how the prestige of their alma mater is faring, the new US News law rankings released on March 28. There was one extremely significant event in the ranking shifts this year, as some predicted given the changes in US News' methodology over last year.
You’ve just received word that your job is going to switch to the fully remote paradigm. That means no more travel expenses or traffic, no more rushing frenetically from place to place, and no more of the crushing outfit dilemma you’ve faced with each new day.
On Friday, May 20, 2022, Vault Law will host an OCI Readiness Summit for law students looking to prepare for and find summer and other associate positions through OCI. You can register for this free informational summit here, and learn more about it below.

LOS ANGELES INDIE FOLK/ROCK SINGER-SONGWRITER DIANA DEMUTH RELEASED SINGLE “THE DOORWAY” ON FRIDAY, APRIL 28TH
A driven 20-something singer/songwriter from Concord, Massachusetts who is ready to leave her mark on the music industry, Diana DeMuth is a storyteller whose thoughtful lyrics create endearing and compelling narratives that she brings to life with an earthy voice, mature beyond her years. The music allows her to bare her soul through stories of the complexities of the heart and mind, resulting in a soft rock sound that has a charming folky twist.
DeMuth started writing songs in fifth-grade thanks to the encouragement from her guitar teacher and hasn’t stopped since. She recorded her first EP at only fourteen years old.
Although she never talks about it, DeMuth was a 2013 contestant on Simon Cowell’s The X Factor. On a whim during a layover in Colorado, DeMuth auditioned for the show eventually making it through to the celebrity judges round in front of Simon Cowell, Demi Lovato, and Kelly Rowland and into the top thirty. DeMuth, being anything but a cover artist, ultimately decided that the show’s vibe didn’t click with her singer/songwriter soul.
During her sophomore year of college, DeMuth’s free spirit and creativity felt too stifled, and she decided to leave to dedicate herself fully to pursuing her dream. Her priority was to write an album from start to finish and release it on her own, a project called “Albuquerque,” which became her debut album.
DeMuth recently gathered some of the most promising young musicians in LA to form The Diana DeMuth Band. This exceptionally talented mostly-female group is a breath of fresh air for the music industry; every musician in the band has a star-studded resume to prove it. The Diana DeMuth band consists of Dru De Caro (gtr and MD), Fernanda Fuentes (Drums), Anel Orantes Pedrero (bass) , Keys Danielle McGinley (keys) and of course, Diana DeMuth (vocals, acoustic/electric guitar).
The past few months all of her efforts have been working towards the release The Doorway EP, due to be released in 2017, with Grammy Award winning producer Jeff Bova.

In the ever-changing business and personal branding world, digital solutions are becoming more popular than traditional paper business cards. A big change in this area is the introduction of metal digital cards. These cards are different and help people make strong connections that they will remember. This detailed study will look at different ways to personalize metal digital cards.
Material Selection: Elevating Identity through Substance
Metal NFC business cards are made from specific materials. Try something different and use materials like stainless steel, aluminum, or titanium. Every material has its unique appearance and texture, which helps you show your brand’s strong, elegant, and long-lasting qualities.
Card Shape and Size: Beyond Rectangles, Unlocking Creative Dimensions
Move beyond the limits of the usual rectangular form. Start a creative adventure by discovering unique shapes that perfectly match your brand’s identity. From simple shapes to detailed cutout designs, the form and dimensions of your metal digital card can go beyond the usual, creating a strong and memorable impression.
Engraving Techniques: Precision as an Art Form
Customization is all about engraving, an artistic way of making something unique. Use precise methods like laser engraving and etching to create detailed surface designs. This can be used for logos, text, and even QR codes. When light shines on engraved metal, it creates a beautiful and memorable effect that people like.
Color Options: Infusing Vibrancy into Metal
Most metal cards are usually plain and only have one color. But you can be different and add some color to your metal card. Anodized coatings can give your card different colors so you can match them with your brand’s colors. This makes your card look more lively and interesting.
Texture and Finish: Tactile Experiences in Metal
Personalize how your metal digital card feels by choosing your preferred texture and finish. Choose between brushed, matte, or polished finishes to affect how the card looks and feels, making a strong impression on people.
Cutouts and Negative Space: Crafting Modern Masterpieces
Incorporate carefully placed empty spaces and cut shapes into your metal card design. This makes your card look modern and lets you be creative, making it a piece of art that grabs people’s attention and makes them curious.
Interactive Elements: Seamless Fusion of Tech and Metal
Improve your digital card made of metal by smoothly adding interactive features. Use NFC technology to let people access your website or contact information easily by tapping their smartphone. Combining technology and physicality makes the interactive experience better and more memorable.
Dual-Sided Designs: Maximizing Space for Impact
Break the usual by accepting two-sided designs on your metal digital card. Use both sides to share important information or display visually impressive elements. This bigger canvas gives you more room to tell your brand story, show an interesting tagline, or showcase a captivating image.
Incorporate Tech Features: Infusing Innovation into Metal
Add new and creative ideas to your metal card by exploring technological features. Think about adding a little screen that lights up, a special kind of ink that looks like paper, or a cool 3D effect to your card. This will make it more interesting and memorable.
Personalized QR Codes: Navigating the Digital Landscape
Improve your metal digital card by adding custom QR codes. These codes can connect to your portfolio, LinkedIn profile, or a special landing page, making connecting your real-life and online presence easy. This bridge helps the person receiving it have a better experience and feel more connected.
Variable Data Printing: Personalization Beyond Limits
Customize your metal digital cards for different people by using variable data printing. This fancy method lets you customize each card with names, titles, or special messages. Paying close attention to small things shows you are dedicated to building strong relationships.
Sustainability Features: Echoing Eco-Consciousness
Show your commitment to protecting the environment using materials that are good for the Earth or can be recycled in the metal digital cards you create. Following current environmental trends shows that your brand cares about society and the planet. This demonstrates your dedication to making a big difference in the business world and the environment.
In summary, the choices for personalizing metal digital cards vary, just like the businesses and people they represent. By carefully thinking about and using these parts, you can create a metal digital card that looks different in a busy market and effectively shares your brand message.


The 2022 Subaru WRX will be bigger, faster and CVT*
*Only some markets will receive a manual option.
Subaru has a few projects underway including the next generation BRZ, and rumours of an AWD hot hatch being co-developed with Toyota. There has also been a significant amount of hype for the next generation WRX, and leaked information from Japanese car magazine Best Car details some pretty interesting stuff.
According to the publication, the next WRX will be larger in physical size, measuring 4.65m in length, 1.85m in width and 1.45m in height. Wheelbase will be increased to 2.67 metres, and the entire chassis will be built off Subaru's new Global Platform architecture.
Credit: Best Car
Power will come from an enlarged turbocharged flat-4, coming in at a displacement of 2.4 litres, with a power output of an estimated 214kW (287hp), and a torque figure of 412Nm. Unfortunately for purists, the manual gearbox will be ditched in some markets (we are yet to know which ones), and instead replaced with the commonly used CVT automatic.
The interior will likely resemble that of the new Outback and similar Subaru models, with an 11.6 inch tablet style multimedia touchscreen central display and an even larger 12.3 inch digital dashboard display controlled via buttons on the steering wheel. We'd expect that alongside these shared components, the WRX will receive unique sports seats and a sportier stitched leather interior.
Credit: Best Car
Rumours have also remained about the upcoming hardcore WRX STI model, which will supposedly deviate even further from the standard WRX than currently stands, with an RS3 / A45 rivalling 294kW (394hp) and 489Nm. Best Car states that both the WRX and WRX STI will be making their first appearances soon, with the standard car late this year and the STI in 2022. We also expect to see more leaks and spoilers in the coming months.

We recently appointed Professor Karen Vousden as our new chief scientist, previously director of our Beatson Institute in Glasgow since 2003. She has spent the last 30 years at the forefront of research studying one of the most important molecules in cancer, called p53. Her team has pinpointed key signals that help p53 protect cells from becoming cancerous. And their research has laid the groundwork for what could become new treatments. Now, taking on her new role, Professor Vousden will also oversee the scientific direction of Cancer Research UK. So we caught up with her to get a sneak peak at what this might involve, and what she sees as the hot topics for future research.
Cancer Research UK: What do we now know about cancer that wasn’t known 10 years ago?
Professor Vousden: We’ve learnt that cancer is a very complicated disease. Now that may sound obvious, but in recent years I think research has really hammered home just how complicated it can be. We’re now beginning to understand that each individual tumour is different. And we’re starting to appreciate just how diverse cancers can be between patients, even those that develop in the same tissues and organs within the body.
It’s also becoming clear that a tumour isn’t just made up of cancer cells. There are a whole host of other cells that may be recruited or changed by the tumour cells to help them grow and spread. And it’s this complex ecosystem of cells and molecules that all come together to help tumours grow and evolve.
The best example of this in recent years is the emergence of immunotherapy. Our understanding of the role the immune system plays in cancer has grown massively. And thanks to research into how immune cells react to cancer, we now have some very exciting treatments available. This has been, and will go on to be, especially important for some cancers where progress has been slow.
Cancer Research UK: What have been the major scientific developments behind this progress?
Professor Vousden: The cost of doing challenging technological things like reading a cell’s entire DNA sequence, or monitoring the proteins and molecules it produces, has plummeted. And this has allowed scientists to ask bigger questions than ever before.
We can now more closely follow the genetic changes that fuel a cancer’s growth. And we can do that with many more samples than we could previously, allowing us to begin piecing together the complexity of cancer.
On top of this, exciting new ways of editing a cell’s DNA in the lab have made it possible to precisely test how gene faults we might see in a patient affect the way a cell behaves.
And this can then all be analysed and interpreted together thanks to better ways of handling the ‘Big Data’ that this type of research produces.
Cancer Research UK: What do you think will be the hot topics in research over the next 10 years?
Professor Vousden: For many years now my own lab, along with colleagues at the Beatson Institute, have been studying how cancer cells feed themselves, and how they make all the complex building blocks that are needed to make more cancer cells. And I think these processes, collectively called cancer metabolism, will become particularly important over the next few years.
We’re finding that this is another area where the world around tumour cells – what’s known as the tumour microenvironment – could have a big part to play too.
And I think this appreciation of cancer being not just rogue cells, but an entire rogue system of different cells and molecules, will become one of the biggest focuses in research.
I also think there is a huge amount still to learn about how the immune system recognises cancer. And the exciting pace of discoveries in this area will continue over the coming years as scientists learn how to better harness the power of the immune system in killing cancer cells.
This has to be the focus of cancer immunology research, ensuring that the truly impressive responses we see with immunotherapy in some patients can be achieved for as many people as possible.
Cancer Research UK: What research will need to be done to understand and tackle this?
Professor Vousden: The challenge for scientists will be bringing together areas of research that may have previously been seen as very different, and then working together.
It’s this type of multidisciplinary approach that will define research over the next few years.
This will require us to take a more holistic view of cancer. And we’ll need to find new ways to study all the different cells and molecules that make up a tumour.
There are already some new, exciting ways of growing these components together as 3D ‘mini-tumours’ in the lab. But this technology will have to become even more advanced, incorporating immune cells and the various energy sources that tumour cells thrive on.
This, alongside advanced animal models that more closely mirror human tumours, will be vital in accelerating progress. And this is especially true for diseases such as pancreatic and oesophageal cancer, where survival has remained stubbornly low.
Cancer Research UK: Where could this research take us?
Professor Vousden: High-quality research really lays the foundations for what will go on to become the tests and treatments that patients need.
And new lab technology and approaches looking to detect tumour DNA or cancer cells in blood samples is one area that’s particularly exciting.
Lab science will be vital in making sure these tests are accurate enough to be assessed in clinical trials and, hopefully, go on to help detect cancer earlier and monitor the disease in those who are diagnosed.
Scientists are also gathering a more complex picture of the differences between tumours. And this type of advanced analysis, including searching for faulty genes, should help work out which patients will benefit from certain treatments. It will also be critical for understanding how tumours evolve and why they can develop resistance to drugs that had previously been working well.
Research like this will have a vital role to play in working out why certain treatments work for some patients and not for others, making treatment more personalised. This is something that is particularly important for immunotherapy, for example.
But, crucially, what connects all these areas is a need to ensure the work that is carried out in the lab feeds directly into the clinic. This, most importantly, is how we’ll make sure these technologies are made available to the patients that need them.
Cancer Research UK: What are your ambitions for Cancer Research UK in terms of science?
Professor Vousden: I would like to make sure we continue to support research aimed at understanding the fundamental biology of cancer cells.
In doing so, we can be sure that our clinical research and trials are based on solid foundations.
I also want to see us increase the amount of science we do internationally, and make sure the relationships and collaborations we have with scientists around the world are strong. I think a big part of this will also involve encouraging researchers to work with colleagues they may not have worked with before.
By bringing together physicists and biologists; engineers and mathematicians, I really believe we can speed up progress in cancer across all areas, from prevention to diagnosis and treatment.
This, in my opinion, can only be achieved if we also continue to promote and support the next generation of scientists working in the lab. And this can’t just involve those we would classically define and ‘cancer researchers’.
Cancer Research UK is an exciting place for young scientists to learn their trade. And I’m looking forward to being part of achieving these ambitious goals.

I for one would agree with professor Vousden’s view that proper funding in cancer research is required, as we get a lot of over seas students training here and like wise are students going over sea for training and research ,why cant governments on an individual basis approve joint funding in medicines, as every body would benefit from joint funded cures and treatments for even complicated treatments and procedures.
Surely in this day and age ministers can come to an agreement from individual country’s, with out EU support. It may be the case were people might have to travel to other country’s but then there should be something similar to diplomatic immunity to allow travel for this purpose.
david brown August 2, 2016
Great news, Professor Karen Vousden as chief sciencetists , i exactly donot know about her history but me reading her biography soon and congrats her and wish her best of luck.
