Sardinia is popularly known as a trendy destination, and it is not only famous for its mesmerizing coastline but also its legendary nightlife.
Sardinian has a pretty laid-back nightlife unless you head to the chi-chi bars located in Costa Smeralda, but for most of us tourists we are contented with just having a sundowner which is then followed by a good dinner. The locals in Sardinia also have a dynamic musical culture which has had significant influence from the numerous invaders over the past centuries, forming something entirely new yet with hints of other cultures. The best place to experience the Sardinian music is at one of the countless festivals that take place in the region throughout the year.
This luxurious oasis probably needs no introduction, but here’s one anyway. The Costa Smeralda is popularly known as the nightlife capital in Sardinia, and the three most popular towns are Porto Cervo, Porto Rotondo, and Baja Sardinia. The area attracts heaps of international party-goers, and it offers trendy clubs, mind-blowing coasts, and parties on the beach. A great place to stay for the nightlife and one of the most exclusive parts of the island. Popular with celebrities, the rich and models this location often spams Instagram. You are also going to find numerous other towns close to Costa Smeralda with an ample nightlife such as Golfo Aranci, Palau, and Cannigione.
San Teodoro is a small town located about 60km from Olbia on the northern coast of Sardinia. Although San Teodoro is a small town, it punches well above its weight when it comes to its mind-blowing nightlife. It is among the liveliest cities in Sardinia. The city clustered with disco, pubs, restaurants, markets, and beaches to explore.
Santa Teresa Di Gallura
Nestled away on the northern coast of Sardinia. Santa Teresa di Gallura is another town that has made it onto my list as it is home to some of the most famous Sardinian nightclubs. The city also attracts young tourists and locals because of its nightlife and magnificent beaches that you can visit. If you’re in Santa Teresa during a full moon, then head out to the Valle Della Luna for a big celebration and a dance around the fire.
Alghero is on the northwestern coast of Sardinia. The city is one of the most picturesque towns in Sardinia, with a lively nightlife scene, mainly filled with tourists during the summer, which makes it a perfect place to stay. You can enjoy the beautiful streets and many bars and clubs. While being in an ideal location to explore the island. Also, it is home to an airport, making it an excellent place for short holidays or weekend breaks.
This town is a perfect destination to go if you want to explore some of the most mesmerizing beaches of South Sardinia. Villasimius has also grown in popularity over the years as a great place to enjoy Sardinian nightlife with numerous clubs and beaches surrounding the town. The best thing about Villasimius is that it is the capital of Sardinia and it is located 50km from Cagliari.

Your Peru Expedition Skills Seminar Team has safely arrived in Huaraz City, perched in the high Rio Santo Valley of the Cordillera Blanca. It was a long journey by bus, 8 hours in total, from the hustle and bustle and modern amenities of Lima, to the humble mountain city of Huaraz. We enjoyed an incredible dinner tonight at Hotel Andino, the nicest spot in town. Alpaca steaks, Lomo Saltado, and numerous classic Peruvian dishes filled our table. Everyone is excited to be in a new country, and looking forward to some trip preparation, and further acclimatization tomorrow. Until then, thanks for following along; the best is yet to come!

The Expedition Skills Seminar - Emmons Team led by RMI Guide Robby Young were turned at 13,200’ on their summit attempt of Mt. Rainier via the Emmons route due to high winds and deteriorating weather. The team will be spending the afternoon learning crevasse rescue, and plan to return to Ashford Basecamp tomorrow afternoon.

I just wanted to touch base with everyone that has followed our expedition. We flew off of the mountain yesterday, June 3rd, and we’re working our way back to our normal lives.
We reached the summit on June 1, the first guide service of the season to step on top of Denali! The weather could not have been better, and we took advantage of it by spending nearly an hour on top of the highest point in North America.
We endured lots of weather during our trip, but we endured and got it done. It was a super rewarding summit with dedicated climbers.
We’re already planning our next trip!

Hey guys, it’s Mike Walter checking in early Friday morning up at High Camp on Denali. We had a successful summit yesterday in beautiful weather, barely a breath of wind, nott a cloud in the sky, great views. We got to spend nearly an hour on this on top, and everyone returned back to camp safely. We have the stoves fired and we are going to pack up here shortly and start our movement downward and hopefully be back in town tomorrow. We will be in touch and keep you posted.

Hi, it’s Mike Walter calling on Wednesday May 31st. We had a beautiful day today, and we moved up to the High Camp on Denali’s West Buttress, 17200 feet. We got here a little bit after 1pm today and have been setting up camp and resting. Everyone is resting and the weather looks good for tomorrow. So hopefully we’ll be able to take a shot at the summit. Everyone is doing well. Hopefully we will be giving you a call from the summit and let you know how it goes. Alright.

Greetings RMI Denali followers, this is Robby Young with the May 3rd Denali Expedition calling you from Day 26. We are sitting in the sunshine here at 14,000’ Camp. We awoke this morning to some cloudy skies, some high winds and snow which delayed our progress uphill just one more day. It looks like the weather is going to be beautiful tomorrow and the next few days giving us our opportunity to finally climb higher on the mountain. We are looking forward to a move to 17,000’ Camp tomorrow morning if the weather does in fact allow. Until then, we will talk to you soon.

The bet was that the Eagles Greatest Hits sold more than 29 million, which it did…I agreed that Thriller sold more.
Also, amazing that you guys summited! Nicely done dudes.
Posted by: Mark on 6/7/2017 at 11:54 am
Pretty sure it still isn’t close to Thriller at #1 all time. You can mail me the $50 or send it PayPal. Glad you guaranteed the Eagles was the highest selling all time.

Greetings all - this is Robbie Young and Mike Walter with the RMI Denali Team. Today was another day of waiting out some weather here at 14,000’ Camp. We had snow and some winds this morning and it’s just now starting to improve this afternoon. We’re on Day 25 and we are looking forward to hopefully a break in this weather over the next few days to give us an opportunity to summit or at least make an attempt if the weather holds out. If not, we’re probably looking at coming down at the same time in the next few days here. Looking forward to our opportunity and look forward to checking in again tomorrow, hopefully in 17000’ Camp.

Hi Mark - I have been following your expedition on the blog, and thinking of you and the others up on the mountain. Those are remarkable photographs and incredible descriptions of the severe weather conditions. You and the team are pretty damn impressive. I sure hope the weather finally cooperates, but whatever happens you have accomplished something mighty. I will look forward to seeing you upon your return. —Geordie Vining (from Crossfit)

Hey Mark, Kev sends me to the blog about every other day to check on your summit progress…for some reason he can manage an RX Murph (we missed you!) but can’t navigate the blog ;) Hoping the weather cooperates for y’all. Catch you on the flip side, H + K

INDIANAPOLIS—Super Bowl XLVI’s second quarter saw New England cap off their first impressive drive by kicking a 29-yard field goal. Kicker Stephen Gostkowski then nailed the ensuing kickoff for the game’s first touchback.
The Giants faced a 3rd-and-6 on their first possession of the second quarter. Manning found Hakeem Nicks for a 17-yard gain down the middle.
A penalty for 12 men on the field then stalled the Giants momentum. Ahmad Bradshaw wasn’t able to find a whole in the Patriots defense on the ground and after a 3rd-and-15 play that the Giants were unable to convert, the Patriots got the ball back on their own 20-yard line after Steve Weatherford’s punt sailed into the end zone.
The Pats faced a 3rd-and-7 and Tom Brady found Wes Welker to set up a 4th-and-1. New England had to punt, given their field position.
The Giants got the ball on their own 23-yard line with 8:23 left to go in the second quarter. New York began making steady progress as their offensive line continued to get the better of the Patriots defensive line.
The Giants would have to go the rest of the Super Bowl without tight end Travis Beckum who injured his ACL ligament earlier in the second quarter.
Brandon Jacobs converted a 3rd-and-1 but due to a holding penalty, the Giants would have to try it again from 10 yards further back. Eli then went for Mario Manningham deep but the Patriots’ Sterling Ward broke up the play.
Weatherford’s directional kick, a 51-yarder pinned the Patriots to their 4-yard line.
Up to this point, Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski hadn’t touched the ball. He hadn’t been moving as freely due to his high ankle injury.
Without the man who caught 17 TD passes, Brady looked uneasy. But finally, Gronkowski caught a 20-yard pass with 2:35 left to go in the first half.
Brady continued marching his team down the field after the two-minute warning but a holding penalty set the Patriots back with 1:12 to go. Yet, the Patriots still converted the first down.
With 18 seconds left to go, the Patriots had the ball on the 3-yard line of the Giants facing 2nd-and-2. After the Giants stopped them for a loss of one yard, the Patriots faced 3rd-and-3.
On the next play, Brady found Danny Woodhead for the go-ahead score, capping a 14-play drive. The Patriots took a 10–9 lead into halftime after the lengthy drive of 96 yards that began on their own 4-yard line, lasting 3:55.
The domination of time of possession the Giants enjoyed in the first half was erased by the Patriots in the second quarter. As expected, the game was extremely close with not much to choose between the two teams.

In the remote jungles of Mexico and Central America, many Mayan temples lay undiscovered and forgotten. Some amazing archeological sites have been excavated, and are accessible to the world. Some of them are still waiting to be discovered. Tikal was an important city in the Mayan Empire, and the ruins here are some of the best preserved in the world.
It is not the easiest place to access, located in the jungles of Northern Guatemala, but once you arrive you will realize any effort you put in will be paid back in full. There are several massive temples and pyramids that are located throughout the complex, and most importantly, there are several that you can still climb to the top of. The views of the ancient city, with the top of the temples poking through the dense jungle canopy below, is a sight to be seen.
The most impressive of these is Temple IV, which has the distinct view that some people might remember from the first Star Wars movie – Tikal was a stand-in for Yavin IV in A New Hope. You can almost picture seeing the Millenium Falcon taking off over the temples. This is just one of the many reasons why you should start planning your trip to Tikal immediately.
Despite the importance and grandeur of the ruins, it still remains a little bit off the beaten track, and if you are able to arrive early in the morning, you will have the ruins to yourself. By mid-afternoon, a few tour buses from nearby Flores arrive, and while not being as overcrowded as some ruins around the world, it is still best to arrive early. Bonus points if you can make it for sunrise!
Exploring the Mayan Temples of Tikal:
Located in the jungles of northern Guatemala, is one of the most important cities of the Mayans; Tikal. There are several well-preserved pyramids that dominate this location, and when viewed from above create an amazing view of the towering monuments poking through the dense jungle canopy below.

It’s February 1, your reservoir is at the top of conservation storage and snow water in the upper watershed is only 30% of normal. Do you start aggressively managing flood storage to hedge against a dry late winter and spring or continue operating as usual at the risk of summer water supply? Historic data aren’t much help; in many Sierra locations, a low February snowpack leads just as often to normal April conditions as to critically dry ones. It sure would be nice if you could look out across the Pacific and see what might be in store for the next couple of months…and as it turns out, you can.
Working for the NASA Ames Research Center and the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP), NHC and TetraTech scientists identified a mathematical relationship between California precipitation and the atmospheric circulation feature known as the North Pacific High (NPH). We have now developed a statistical model that successfully predicts April 1 snow water content, based on relative January strength of the NPH and February 1 snow water content, in the Eastern Sierra.
The model was calibrated and tested for four Owens Valley snow stations used by LADWP for reservoir operations planning. Over 66 years of hindcasting (1951-2016) and two years of forecasting (2017-2018), the model successfully predicted the relative April snow water level (i.e. dry, normal, or wet) from the January NPH location and February 1 snow surveys 75% of the time—with zero “opposite” forecasts (i.e. predicted wet/observed dry and vice versa)—for the principal station at Mammoth Pass. In addition to predicting values April 1 for snow water content, the model also calculates a probability distribution and confidence intervals, to provide a sense of the level of uncertainty of the prediction.

It is 9pm and we are sheltered in the camper out of the howling wind. It is blowing a gale out there and very unpleasant. I do see people a few campsites over from us with a campfire - they must be crazy pyromanics. We are not hardy campers though and happily retreat to the comfort of the camper. So tonight we are inside watching Julius Caesar on TCM.
We did our usual morning walks (7km/4.2miles) followed by a swim. The waves were crashing about again but the water was warm. For the rest of the afternoon Carm helped Bill install a satellite connection into his trailer. There was a brief period of rain, but again the forecast wet weather skirted us.
Nor stony tower, nor walls of beaten brass, Nor airless dungeon, nor strong links of iron, Can be retentive to the strength of spirit; But life, being weary of these worldly bars, Never lacks power to dismiss itself. (1.3.93)
The following quote reminds me of a story my parents tell of when I was 5 years old they had either been discussing the book, or maybe they had been watching the movie... anyway, I dragged out my little stool, stood on it and gravely said "Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your noses". I got part of it right!
Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears; I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him. The evil that men do lives after them; The good is oft interred with their bones. (3.2.79)

Restore & Preserve Antietam
The crack of rifled muskets and the boom of artillery stirred the morning air as dawn broke over the farm fields outside of Sharpsburg, Maryland. The sounds of battle signaled the beginning of the Battle of Antietam, the bloodiest day in American history. Union and Confederate troops struggled against one another from dawn to dusk on September 17, 1862, fighting in places like the Cornfield, along the Hagerstown Pike, and across Antietam Creek at Burnside’s Bridge. When the sun set, more than 23,000 Americans had become casualties and the nation was on a new path toward emancipation.
Earlier this year, President Donald Trump pledged his first quarter’s salary to support battlefield maintenance at Antietam National Battlefield. This donation will go toward replacing the deteriorated fenceline along the Hagerstown Pike and restoring the Newcomer House—long deferred projects that the park is desperate to complete. The Civil War Trust—along with the National Parks Foundation, and the Save Historic Antietam Foundation—is honored to partner with President by committing an additional funds to ensure these projects are completed and this piece of hallowed ground looks exactly as it did in 1862.
Help restore Antietam!

High-paying jobs available in new medical marijuana industry?
Colorado entrepreneurs offer advice for protecting stash
Inside a large modified warehouse in the Denver area, someone's multimillion-dollar investment in Colorado's medical marijuana industry is growing and thriving.
NewsCenter 5's Heather Unruh took an exclusive tour of an enormous grow house, walking past rows and rows of large, high-quality marijuana plants -- all ready to be harvested the next day.
The owner predicted it would take roughly three weeks to have the plants processed and delivered to Denver dispensaries.
The success of this business depends on the skill of "master growers" -- one of the many new jobs in this exploding new industry.
"There are a lot of jobs to be had," said Jake Salazar, owner of MMJ America, a highly-successful dispensary with three locations in Colorado.
"We employed directly in excess of 10,000 employees -- residents of the state of Colorado -- that are working in the cannabis community," said Tripp Keber, founder of Dixie Elixirs, a Denver-based company that manufactures medicated edibles like sodas and candies.
The occupations include high-salary executive jobs, scientists, security and accountants as well as jobs in marketing, sales and licensing. Attorneys also are finding new opportunities.
"We are one of very few law firms that have expertise in medical marijuana law," said Brian Vicente, a partner with Vicente Sederberg, LLC, in Denver. His firm just opened an office in Massachusetts.
"Patients need access to medicine now," he said. "And in Massachusetts, the sooner we have access through stores, the less patients have to go to street corners to get it."
Vicente said he hopes the Massachusetts Department of Public Health uses Colorado as a model when it finalizes regulations for establishing the industry here.
"We've learned a lot of lessons about how to effectively regulate this substance so it gets to patients, not to teens," he said. "And we can have businesses that are profitable at the same time."
And those Colorado regulations have meant millions for the state's operating budget. Last year, a state sales tax generated $5.3 million. Licensing fees have brought in another $7 million.
And while plenty of Colorado entrepreneurs see Massachusetts as the next pot of gold -- potentially creating thousands of new jobs -- they encouraged anyone interested in the industry to learn from mistakes already made in other states.
"In your state, you don't want a free-for-all," Salazar said.
His chain of dispensaries survived Colorado's initial "green rush" when competitors were everywhere.
"That's when articles were being written that there are more dispensaries in Colorado than Starbucks, it's crazy out there, it's the Wild West," he said. "And it was."
Not true anymore. The 1,800 dispensaries that opened in Colorado in 2010 have been weeded down to just 500 --- and some are just getting by.
"I know hundreds of people who poured their entire life savings -- borrowed from mother, father, sister, brother -- with nothing to show at the end of the day," Keber said. "And so it's not for the faint of heart."

- A total of 153 communal farmers in four agro-ecological regions of Botswana were interviewed using a structured questionnaire. The aims of the survey were to characterise existing communal goat production systems, evaluate the importance of goats to farmers and identify breeding practices and constraints encountered in goat production in Botswana. Data was collected on socio-economic parameters, general and breeding management practices and major constraints limiting goat production in Botswana. All respondents were small-scale communal farmers with 63% respondents practising mixed crop-livestock farming and 37% keeping livestock as their primary activity. The majority (33%) of respondents were older than 60 years. Over 80% of the farmers kept goats for cash required for tuition, school uniforms and household commodities as well as re-stocking of animals. Most farmers (62%) kept indigenous crossed genotypes. Generally, uncontrolled mating was practised with the majority of farmers (41%) using on-farm reared bucks for more than two years of breeding and communal bucks (36%) as an alternative. The major constraints limiting goat productivity in communal areas included uncontrolled breeding, predators, theft and diseases. Issues raised by farmers should be considered in designing and implementing effective breeding programs for goats to improve their overall productivity and contribution to poverty alleviation in these communities.

I’m Sam and I’ve been doing Computer Stuff for longer than I care to think about. I joined OpenCorporates as a Software Engineer / troublemaker in March this year.
At OpenCorporates, our mission is simple: Make company data more accessible, more usable, more useful for the public benefit. Most of OpenCorporates’ enviable reputation has come from the transparency and the quality of our data, but we, and our users (journalists, NGOs, law enforcement, banks, AML and due diligence professionals, etc) love to see the number of companies we have increasing.
OpenCorporates exists to make company data more accessible, useful and understandable. Every month, we’ll share links to show you how people have used our data. Got something to include in our next roundup? Contact us!

Just under a year ago, we announced we’re working on a new corporate structure to provide a strong, long-term foundation for OpenCorporates, now that it is becoming essential data infrastructure...
1 billion? 10 billion? 100 billion? How many companies will exist in 10 years’ time? We are about to witness, we believe, an explosion of the number, speed, and complexity of corporate entities, driven by new technologies such as Blockchain/DLT, AI, and the Internet of Things. This dramatic shift – akin to the move from human-driven stock market activity to algorithmic trading – will present a challenge to all, from democracies to free and fair markets to law enforcement.
Hi, I’m Shefna and I’ve recently joined OpenCorporates as a Data Analyst where I’ve been given the duty of handling new and pre-existing datasets. My main tasks include discovering new information on datasets and cleansing said data to allow for it to be more usable by the public. The aim is to present unrestricted information on all companies around the world and I am excited to be a part of it!
OpenCorporates has come a long way since we started in 2011. In the past seven years we’ve grown from 3 million companies in the UK, Jersey and Bermuda, to over 143 million companies across 128 jurisdictions. We’ve transformed access to public records about companies in the process, and developed a successful business model that drives public benefit rather than fights it – something that seems increasingly urgent following Facebook-gate, Cambridge Analytica, and Google removing “don’t be evil” from their corporate code of conduct.

WATERS has just a little bit going on right now. The band’s sophomore album What’s Real – frontman Van Pierszalowski’s second under this moniker and his first with a revamped lineup featuring three-quarters of The Tambo Rays – drops today on Vagrant Records. Sunday night in Albuquerque, they kicked off more than two months of touring that will see the quintet join Matt And Kim for 30 shows across the continent including a gig at The Warfield in May. When they’re done with those shows? They’re playing Live 105’s BFD 2015 and a little festival you might have heard of before called Outside Lands.
Oh, and as if their collective cup wasn’t overflowing quite enough, they played a ripping version of lead single “Got To My Head” on Conan last week after chilling with the late-night host and his special guest for the evening, none other than Ringo Starr.
That’s quite an eventful few months, but once you hear What’s Real in full, you’ll know that every ounce of acclaim this band has received or will receive is very much deserved, and should rightfully keep pouring in for the foreseeable future.
From the first chords of album opener and lead single “Got To My Head”, though the gentle acoustic guitar outro that is closer “Green Eyes”, What’s Real impresses with a beautiful mixture of pop hooks and alternative anthems that should solidify its spot on countless best of 2015 lists come December.
“This record was recorded over a 15-month period while I was living in San Francisco and taking road trips down to record with friend and Grouplove producer/drummer Ryan Rabin,” Pierszalowski explained in a very candid Facebook post last evening. “While current alternative radio is pumping out songs about the ‘best day of my life’ and ‘wanting to be like the cool kids,’ I wanted to write songs about heartbreak, about finding clarity, about feeling stuck in your hometown. And I wrote it with the hope that people connect with it in a visceral way. In an emotional way. The way I am connecting to it. A connection I feel is not as expected these days.”
What resulted was a group of 11 songs about escape (my personal favorite “Over It”), past relationships (“Got To My Head”, “I Feel Everything”), and living at home as an adult (“Mom & Dad’s”), following one-after-another with unceasing energy and raw, palpable emotion. And that’s exactly how the frontman envisioned the new album.
“It’s what I dreamt about when I was 14 and started playing guitar,” Pierszalowski wrote on Facebook. “It’s what I still dream about today. It’s WHAT’S REAL.”
Below, watch Pierszalowski and company tear through “Got To My Head” for Team Coco, listen to a five-song sampler from What’s Real, and get info on WATERS’ May 2 gig with Matt And Kim at The Warfield. Stream What’s Real in its entirety on Spotify, or head over to iTunes to pick up your digital copy. Vinyl is available (along with a host of other merch) over on Vagrant’s website.

Zimmerman is an intelligent young man who does not have autism but who had enough challenges similar to autism that his mom embarked on biomedical intervention with Dr Jerry Kartzinel.
He's a homeschooler, too. ;)
Zimmerman tells us what biomedical intervention was like from his perspective. The book is self-published and is available on Amazon for just under $13.
I SEE from the outside the big differences in my daughter's behavior when we're on the right track biomedically. She can't tell me that she feels better, but I can see huge improvements in self-regulation, communication, overall coping and functioning. One day, I hope to hear from her perspective.
She's asking occasional questions about her diet and supps. Now I have a young person's perspective to share with her.
Zimmerman writes in a lighthearted-teenager-stream-of-consciousness style that has me smiling a lot while I read. I know now where he stands on music, on the POTUS, on B12 injections, on all sorts of topics. He gives nicknames to the real life characters in his story that crack me up. He describes ups and downs of the GFCF diet and biomedical treatment, explains understandings and misunderstandings as he walks us through his journey. He explains the "why bother" and "how to" from a young person's point of view, and as a side effect of sorts, reminds me that
He shares some of his labwork with readers, and the labwork of his brother. The befores and afters are impressive.
I want the sibs to read Zimmerman's book; perhaps they'll understand a little more. I believe that the book will generate questions from the kids that perhaps I've overlooked or over-described for them.
All in all, "What Is My Mother Doing To Me?" is a delightful read.

With the US and EU’s constant trade deal sanctions imposed on Beijing, China risks of being in market isolation.
The non-classification of China as a market economy disables them to join Free Trade-Agreements (FTA) despite their ongoing demands to do so. Therefore, China has been building trade agreements with countries willing to sign deals with the eastern powerhouse.
However, there have been calls from countries that do not have trade deals with China for the misuse of the Free Trade Deal. A glaring example of China’s exploitation of the free trade agreement is through the stainless-steel market.
India’s domestic stainless-steel industry has been decimated by the surge of imports by its neighbour. Strong buying countries such as Japan and Korea have lessened their stainless-steel demand due to their strong reserves, China shifts its focus to India.
India does not have a free trade deal agreed with China, therefore, imposing an 18.9% countervailing duty on Chinese steel imports. This has seen a decrease in imports, however, China has found a method of importing stainless steel without paying the countervailing duty.
Chinese stainless steel has been making its way to India duty-free by re-routing its path using countries that China has free trade deals with. Indonesia has an existing free trade deal with China making steel imports go through their outstations in Indonesia.
With Indonesia’s limited stainless-steel market, the Chinese move the unwanted steel on to India. China takes advantage of Indonesia’s free trade deals with countries that have free trade deals themselves with India.
The present year has witnessed many ups and downs in terms of the steel imports from different countries. An exact and verifiable account of the percentage rise and drops in consumption of Chinese steel can be derived from a look at the plotted graph.
Image Source: https://images.financialexpress.com/2018/08/steel.jpg
A 67% upsurge in steel importation has been noted during the April-June quarter of 2018, accounting for almost 3,62,000 tonnes (of steel to the mere 2,17,000 tonnes estimate of the previous year.Thus, the purchase made in accordance to the pricing of steel in China would have required an investment of 433.5 US Dollars per metric ton; which is an astounding number.
Also, this data is verifiable by the detailed data provided in the Financial Express. The quantity of steel being imported and used for building materials and commercial use can be concretely impressed upon the minds of people.
Image Source: https://images.financialexpress.com/2018/08/steel-reu.jpg
With strong Chinese investors using Indonesia as a trade puppet state, it paves the way for steel to enter India cheaply. Countries like Vietnam, Thailand, South Korea, and Japan have also been used as a route to transport steel into India duty-free. India also suspects that raw materials likeHR coils are imported from Indonesia to its neighbouring countries Thailand and Vietnam who then converts it to CR and exported directly to India.
The smart marketing strategy on behalf of the Chinese export market allows a provision of Hot Rolled (HR) coils to India at a lesser price of $672 per tonne as opposed to the standard $675 per tonne noticed elsewhere. The cost-effective price encompasses within its grasp a 12.5% customs duty and freight. It encourages further trade between the countries as buyers in India see this as a cost-saving venture.
Additionally, China has made a better bargain here in terms of getting longer contracts from private companies in India and more exports mean more profits and income. A whole sale trade and marketing strategy has equipped China to gain the most benefit from this venture, as opposed to the global nations.
Indian authorities have taken swift measures to counteract the problem by imposing anti-dumping duties, strict quality controls, and anti-bypassing audits.
The steel ministry has issued a warning against India’s signing the agreement with Regional-Comprehensive Economic-Partnership (RCEP), which involves China as well. A sealed agreement would mean that China will have free access to Indian market, which can heighten the trade deficit which is pre-existent due to trade relations with China. A higher trade deficit may mean economic inconsistency in India, which must be avoided by all means.
However, Indian steelmakers have suggested that despite the government’s attempt to monitor the situation, it is still a recurring problem. The fear of turning a net importer of steel as opposed to its designation as a net exporter spells economic crisis for the country at present. The domestic steel infrastructure has taken a huge hit with reported job losses and local steel business profits on the decline. Calls for the government to establish a commercial intelligence division to control the manufacturing of different goods in different countries have been made.
Quiet recently, almost 2 months back, India authenticated a policy which levies an Anti-dumping cost of USD 185.51/tonne of steel for the next five years on select varieties of steel from China to discourage Indian buyers from investing in importing seemingly affordable raw material.
The decision has been made in consultation with the Directorate-General of Trade-Remedies (DGTR), as notified by the government. An investigation into the state of market affairs revealed that the Chinese export of Steel had caused market injury to India by the purchase of export duties at a lower price estimate than is allowed.
China has heavily benefited from the misuse of the free trade agreement. Stagnant Chinese stainless steel situated in Indonesia have been encouraged to be moved to different countries with the buying power to continue its turnover. Chinese steel has been claimed as the cheaper alternative making it attractive to buy for local markets. Although it is far the less superior product with sub-standard manufacturing rules, companies are choosing it to reduce costs. Ongoing trade wars worldwide have raised the level of uncertainty in the market. Not only is China finding loopholes and misusing the free trade agreement, but there are also questions of their ethical trading policies. With potential trading partners in the US and the EU opting to steer away signing agreements with Beijing, it appears that China has had their hand forced into exploiting regulations.

The unemployment rate declined from 7.3 percent to 7.0 percent in November, and total
nonfarm payroll employment rose by 203,000, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics
reported today. Employment increased in transportation and warehousing, health care,
While 7 percent sounds positive, it's important to keep in mind the labor participation rate hasn't gone up more than .2 percent, which means people who have left the labor force aren't coming back. According to numbers crunched by CNSNews, more than 90 million people are not in the labor force.

Smoking is bad. Quitting smoking is hard. But exercising can make quitting easier, and make sliding back into smoking less likely.
That's the word from a big new study, which tracked the health and habits of 434,190 people in Taiwan from 1996 to 2008. Smokers who got just 15 minutes of exercise a day were 55 percent more likely to quit than were people who weren't active at all. And those active smokers were 43 percent less likely to relapse when they did quit.
It's part of a new campaign to steer patients (and their doctors) to what the College of Physicians calls "high value care," and away from expensive tests and treatments that aren't any better — and often are worse.

If there's one thing that people with diabetes get pounded into their heads, it's that they've got to keep their A1C level under control. That's the blood glucose measure that's used to decide how well a person is managing their diabetes.
But new diabetes management guidelines announced today will cut many people with diabetes some slack.
Where old guidelines from the American Diabetes Association said that people should maintain an A1C of 7, the new guidelines say that patients should work with their doctors to determine an appropriate A1C target.

A little more than three years ago, early in the days of the specialized category, EVL released a vegan-friendly entry in its Stacked Series of protein powders with Stacked Plant Protein. The supplement packs the typical plant-based amount of 20g of protein a serving with 11g of carbohydrates, 2.5g of fat, 130 calories, and promises a great experience on the flavor side of things.
Since that launch, EVL’s Stacked Plant Protein, which is also infused with probiotics and digestive enzymes, has had two traditional flavors to choose from in Natural Chocolate and Natural Vanilla. To start the month of March, the brand has dropped its first new option for that product since its debut in late 2018 with another fairly common flavor of protein powder in Chocolate Peanut Butter.
EVL’s latest effort is already available through its major online retail partner Bodybuilding.com, where a typical 1.5lb tub of Stacked Plant Protein costs $37.99. The store actually has a deal on at the moment that drastically drops that price where you buy one tub and get 75% off your second, bringing the vegan-friendly protein powder down to an impressively competitive $23.75 each.

Too few homes – not enough development land – failed planning system
We may all be aware that there is a housing crisis in the UK, but every now and again statistics emerge which remind us of the full extent of the problem.
Plans to build thousands of homes on green belt land in and around Bath have been approved by councillors. Bath and North East Somerset Council has given the go-ahead for 12,700 homes to be built on brownfield and greenfield sites by 2029.


Government approves Rs 5,000 crore for dedicated micro irrigation fund
The government estimates the area that can come under micro irrigation at 69.5 million hectares, compared with the current coverage of only about 10 million hectares.
The allocation, under the Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana, will be made in instalments of Rs 2,000 crore and Rs 3,000 crore in 2018-19 and 2019-20, a government press release said.
Under the programme, Nabard will extend loans to state governments during this period. The loans can be paid back in 7 years, including a grace period of two years. The total financial implication on interest subvention on the loans will be about Rs 750 crore.
The government expects farmer producers’ organisations, cooperatives and state agencies to also access the funds with state government guarantee or equivalent collateral.
The fund will also help states mobilise resources for their own initiatives, including additional subsidy, to bring about 2 million hectares under micro irrigation each year during the remaining period of the 14th Finance Commission, as recommended by a group of secretaries in 2017.
The group of secretaries had emphasised on meeting the target of bringing 10 million hectares under micro irrigation over five years. This would require an additional annual coverage of about 1 million hectares compared to the current pace of implementation.

The Witcher 3’s open world is filled with a plethora of secrets, including plenty of unique gear sets that you can use in different combat situations. One such gear set is the Bear School Gear, which comes with very powerful armor that can sustain and protect you from heavy damage. However, results in slower stamina regeneration, so choose wisely as it may not be best suited to your play style.
The set can be found in Skellige, and the suggested level for acquiring them is 20. If this is your first Witcher gear, you’ll also unlock the ‘Armed and Dangerous’ trophy/achievement once you collect all the pieces. Here’s how you can find the diagrams for the Bear School armor:
The armor pieces for this set can be found in a fortress north of Urialla Harbor on An Skellig, the nort-eastern island. The road leading up to the fort can’t be accessed, therefore you’ll need make your way up by climbing and jumping. Go to Yngvar’s Fang and proceed to follow the trail, taking out the level 13 sirens along the way. Just make sure to bring them down quickly with your crossbow.
Follow the trail into the fort. Once there, take a left and head down the stairs, into the dungeon. You’ll be confronted with level 7 wraiths inside, but they shouldn’t pose much a threat at this point. Go across the dungeon room and pull a lever that you’ll find on your right. Hop down the hole that is in a cell nearby. Turn right at the crossroad and you’ll encounter two level 20 wraiths that will pursue you. Instead of taking them on, ignore them and climb the stairs and then jump ahead over the rocks.
You’ll now be inside a throne room. The diagrams can be found in the chest near the throne. Once you have what you came for, pull the lever next to the door and leave the area.
Head over to Spikeroog, the north-western island and look for a coastal cave by the road on the south side of the island that meets the coast just south of the Old Watchtower signpost. Head inside the cave and defeat at least 3 of the level 15 drowners. Try to divert their attention and take them on one at a time. Once defeated, move on and turn right at the first fork.
Climb up the rocks and jump across the gap to a platform with a skeleton.You’ll find the diagram on the corpse.
Ursine Steel Sword
The steel sword diagram can be found in the far south, at the Ruined Inn on Ard Skellig, the central, largest island. Close to this area is a Monster Nest with level 13 sirens, but you won’t need to take them on in order to acquire the diagram.
Head inside the charred inn, and use Aard to clear your way into the basement. Down here, you’ll find a chest with the diagram inside. However, before you can grab it, you’ll need to take on 2 level 20 wraiths.
Ursine Silver Sword
The silver sword diagram can be found at the ruins of Fort Etnir, north of Rogne, on Ard Skellig. It is, by far, the most challenging piece to acquire from the Bear School Gear. You’ll find it inside a chest that is guarded by two level 15 gargoyles with stronger ice elemental damage.
You can’t avoid the encounter as the chest can’t be looted without defeated them.

Published March 1, 2011 - More info
Cross-reactivity of murine and recently human CD8+ T cells between different viral peptides, i.e., heterologous immunity, has been well characterized. However, the directionality and quality of these cross-reactions is critical in determining their biological importance. Herein we analyzed the response of human CD8+ T cells that recognize both a hepatitis C virus peptide (HCV-NS3) and a peptide derived from the influenza neuraminidase protein (Flu-NA). To detect the cross-reactive CD8+ T cells, we used peptide-MHC class I complexes (pMHCs) containing a new mutant form of MHC class I able to bind CD8 more strongly than normal MHC class I complexes. T cell responses against HCV-NS3 and Flu-NA peptide were undetectable in normal donors. In contrast, some responses against the Flu-NA peptide were identified in HCV+ donors who showed strong HCV-NS3–specific reactivity. The Flu-NA peptide was a weak agonist for CD8+ T cells in HCV+ individuals on the basis of novel pMHCs and functional assays. These data support the idea of cross-reactivity between the 2 peptides, but indicate that reactivity toward the Flu-NA peptide is highly CD8-dependent and occurs predominantly after priming during HCV infection. Our findings indicate the utility of the novel pMHCs in dissecting cross-reactivity and suggest that cross-reactivity between HCV and influenza is relatively weak. Further studies are needed to relate affinity and functionality of cross-reactive T cells.

Medbery Assistant Examiner-J. F. Pitrelli Att0rney-Markva & Smith  ABSTRACT This invention concerns a cigarette making and packing complex comprising a number of cigarette making machines, a number of cigarette packing machines and a conveyor system comprising a number of delivery conveyors each of which is permanently associated at one end with one particular maker or packer and can be selectively connected at its other end to any one of a number of packers or makers as the case may be.
15 Claims, 3 Drawing Figures CONVEYOR SYSTEMS This invention is concerned with systems for making and packing cigarettes and particularly with a system using a new conveyor system for delivering cigarettes from a number of cigarette-making machines to a number of cigarette packing machines.
A system according to this invention comprises a number of cigarette making machines, a number of cigarette packing machines and a conveyor system comprising a number of delivery conveyors each of which is permanently associated at one end with one particular maker or packer and can be selectively connected at its other end to any one of a number of packers or makers as the case may be.
Systems according to this invention are versatile in that they enable difierent brands of cigarettes to be made by different making machines and to be supplied selectively along the appropriate separate delivery conveyors to different packing machines. The proportions of machines on different brands can be varied as necessary.
In a preferred arrangement each of the cigarette-making machines delivers cigarettes upwards, preferably in a single row, into a junction with a horizontal overhead stack of cigarettes. The overhead stack extends horizontally in one direction from the junction on a conveyor which delivers the cigarettes to a packing machines, and the stack also extends in the opposite direction from the junction into a reservoir which preferably comprises a band which carries the cigarettes away from the junction when the upward delivery exceeds the demand of the associated packing machine, and delivers the cigarettes back past the junction when the demand of the packing machine exceeds the upward delivery of cigarettes from the making machine. The reservoir and the delivery of cigarettes to the junction may be as described in British application No. 45034/68, filed Nov. I4, 1969 corresponding to U. S. application Ser. No. 875,402 filed Nov. 2, 1969, by Me- Combie et al.
An example of a conveyor system according to this invention is shown in the accompanying drawings.
IN THESE DRAWINGS:
FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic plan view of the conveyor system;
FIG. 2 is a fragmentary end view in the direction of the arrow 11 in FIG. 1; and
FIG. 3 is a view from the left of FIG. 2, in the direction of the arrow Ill.
As shown in FIG. 1, the system includes five cigarette making machines, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6, and five packing machines 7, 8, 9, l and l l. Cigarettes are delivered from the making machines to the packing machines by live parallel overhead delivery conveyors 12, 13, 14, 1 and 16. These conveyors are shown each connected permanently to one packing machine; for example, each conveyor may deliver cigarettes to a chute extending down to the packing machine. A choice in the linkup between the making and packing machines is exercised at the making machine ends of the conveyors l2 and 16 by virtue of the fact that any making machine can be arranged to deliver to any one of the delivery conveyors.
Each of the conveyors 12 to 16 may be laterally flexible so as to be capable of moving along a bent path such as that shown; one suitable form of laterally flexible conveyor for this purpose is described and illustrated in the above-mentioned patent application.
The delivery of cigarettes from each making machine to one of the delivery conveyors is via a transverse overhead conveyor 17, 18, 19, or 21 extending horizontally at a level above the conveyors 12 to 16. The left-hand end of each of the conveyors 17 to 21 (as seen in FIG. 1) is connected to a reservoir 22, as already mentioned; the reservoirs and transverse conveyors 17 to 21 are similar for all the making machines.
FIG. 1 shows the making machine 2 connected via its transverse conveyor 17 to the delivery conveyor 13 leading to the packing machine 8, while the making machines 3 to 6 are respectively connected via their transverse conveyors 18 to 21 to the delivery conveyors 12, 14, 15 and 16 leading to the packing machines 8 to 11 in the manner shown. This arrangement may be readily changed. In other words, any given transverse conveyor associated with any given making machine can be arranged to deliver to any one of the delivery conveyors. FIG. 2 illustrates how this is achieved.
As shown in FIG. 2, the transverse overhead conveyor 17 receives an upward delivery of a single row of cigarettes 23 from the making machine 2. At the junction with the singlerow upward delivery, there is a sensor 24 which controls the speed of a conveyor 25 forming part of a cigarette reservoir as already described. The reservoir may, for example, be completed by a laterally flexible conveyor which extends upwards in a helical path, as described in the above patent application.
At the left hand end of its run, as viewed in FIG. 2, the conveyor 17 passes round a pulley 26 which forms part of a horizontally movable assembly which can be moved into different positions, depending upon which delivery conveyor is to receive the cigarettes from the making machine 2. Horizontal movement of the pulley 26 is accompanied by the appropriate letting out or taking in of the conveyor. This is achieved by means of a variable-capacity conveyor reservoir 27 consisting of a number of fixed pulleys 28 and a number of staggered vertically movable pulleys 29 which are preferably all mounted on a common vertically movable carrier. It will be appreciated that the pulleys 29 move upwards in order to let out more conveyor material to enable the conveyor pulley 26 to be moved to the left, while movement of the pulley 26 to the right allows the pulleys 29 to move downwards (for example under their own weight) to absorb more of the conveyor material into the reservoir 27. As an alternative there may for example be just two pulleys 28 (or possibly even only one) and one pulley 29 which rests in the hanging loop of conveyor material and is slightly weighted so as to maintain a constant tension in the conveyor and automatically let out and take in the appropriate amount of conveyor material.
Part of the horizontally movable assembly comprises a chute 30 down which the stack of cigarettes is delivered to the delivery conveyor 13. The assembly also includes an upper wall member 31 which confines the upper surface of the horizontal stack of cigarettes as it approaches the bend, and a sensor 32 which moves up and down to control the speed of the conveyor 17 as described in the above patent application.
The chute 30 twists through 90 so as to deliver the stack of cigarettes in the appropriate lateral orientation with respect to the delivery conveyor 13, as shown in FIG. 3. At the bottom of the chute there is a pivoted flap 34 which drops to the position shown in FIG. 3 in order to guide cigarettes from the chute 30 onto the conveyor 13, and is raised to the position shown in dotted outline in FIG. 3 in order to be clear of a side plate 35 which extends along and supports the conveyor 13. The height of the stack of cigarettes 33 delivered to the conveyor 13 is substantially the same as the height of the stack on the conveyor 17, which is between 7 and I1 centimeters. There may be provision for replacing any chute with a chute twisting in the opposite direction in the event of any packing machine being required to be fed with cigarettes with say the filters facing in the opposite direction.
The delivery conveyors 12 to 16 are preferably close together and at the same height. Alternatively, if they are of a laterally flexible construction enabling them to move along a laterally curved path, and especially if the making machines are some distance from the packing machines, the delivery conveyors may be one above the other for part of the way.
As an alternative to the general layout shown in FIG. 1, each of the delivery conveyors 12 to 16 may be arranged to receive cigarettes permanently from one of the making machines, and the packing machine ends of the delivery con- 7 veyors may be adjustable in position in the manner of the conveyors leading respectively to the difierent packing machines.
FIG. 1 shows five packing machines and five making machines but there may alternatively be more or fewer of each machine. Moreover, there need not be equal numbers of making and packing machines; there may for example be more making machines than there are packing machines, and one or more of the transverse conveyors 17 to 21 associated with the making machines may have more than one downward delivery chute, with variable-speed conveyors leading to the chutes to enable the rates of delivery to the chutes to be independently controlled, as described in British Pat. No. 1,175,201. With this arrangement the bottom ends of all these chutes, with the exception of the chute attached to the conveyor 17, may be so arranged that a stack of cigarettes from any given chute can be laid on top of a stack supplied upstream by another chute. By this means, and with provision for varying the speeds of the delivery conveyors, any given delivery conveyor may receive more than the output of a single making machine, for example by receiving say three-quarters of the output of each of two making machines, which would be a possible arrangement for example in the event of N packing machines being able to cope with the output of 1% N making machines.
The pulley 26 and conveyor 17 of each horizontally movable assembly may be supported in the manner of the pulley 45 and conveyor 44 in British Pat. No. 995,663, that is to say with a fixed frame slidably carrying the conveyor and other parts (e.g., the chute), and including spring mounted supports 62 to carry the conveyor.

The Kano State Government has reached agreement with the Governing Boards of WAEC and NECO to release the withheld results of students of public schools in the state, this week.
A statement by the Deputy Director, Public Relations Department of the state Ministry of Education, Hajiya Hadiza Habib, appealed to both parents and students to remain calm and law abiding.
It said the government was not unaware of their anxiety to access the SSCE results of their respective wards.
It said, “The Permanent Secretary in the ministry, Malam Danlami Garba, has appealed to affected parents and students to exercise patience as effort is being made to release the results.”
WAEC which released result of its examination recently, had up till now not released the results of all public schools in the state.
The issue had also affected students who paid for themselves the examination fees through the state government.
Since then, agitations and tension had continued to rise in the state, particularly with the recent announcement of screening exercise by many Universities in the country.
