75% of Gympie region struggling to pay power bill
Seventy-five per cent of Gympie region residents, and people throughout Queensland are struggling to pay their power bills.
Research released today by energy experts iSelect reveals 1.1 million Queenslanders find it challenging to pay their energy bills, with the majority (75 per cent) worried about their upcoming summer bill.
The YouGov Galaxy Research study commissioned by iSelect suggests that almost two thirds (63 per cent) of Queenslanders will be making cut backs to afford their upcoming summer energy bill, with over a quarter (28 per cent) even planning to cut back on groceries.
Laura Crowden, spokesperson for iSelect, said Queensland households are definitely feeling the impact of rising energy prices on their hip pocket.
"71 per cent of Queenslanders told us their energy bills have increased over the past two years, including 40 per cent who feel their energy bills have gone up significantly and are much more expensive.”
Laura said it was concerning that so many Queensland households are struggling with the cost of energy to the point they need to cut back on essentials such as groceries to afford their upcoming summer bill.
"High energy prices take their toll on the household budget at the best of times but the heat is really on over summer, when usage is often highest due to air-cons running in overdrive,” said Laura.
"Although there is little to be done about the increased cost of energy, families can take back some control by simply reviewing their energy plan or making adjustments around the house.”
The research shows that 89 per cent of Queensland households will take some sort of action to help energy costs this summer with over half (51 per cent) planning to use the air-conditioner less frequently and 65 per cent opting to use fans instead of air-conditioning.
Laura says that with thousands feeling concerned about energy bill shock this summer, it's disappointing that only 20 per cent of Queensland residents plan to review their current energy plan in order to try keep costs down.
"While making cut backs and reducing usage is always worthwhile, an easy way to save money is to make sure on you're on the most cost-effective plan to begin with,” Laura explained.
"A lot of people don't realise that discounts generally expire after a year or two, so if you've been on the same plan for a while it's probably no longer the best value option.”
Given growing concern about rising energy bills, Laura encouraged consumers to investigate different payment options which can provide greater flexibility.
"Flexible payment options such as bill smoothing or more frequent payment cycles make managing energy costs a little easier and help avoid the dreaded bill shock that comes from an unexpected large quarterly bill,” said Laura.
At this time of year, Laura admits that we all have better things to do than spend our time, effort and money sorting through household bills.
"The last thing we want to do over the summer break is spend hours comparing energy. Services like iSelect can help you compare plans from our range of energy providers and select an option to best suit your needs in around 30 minutes - giving you extra time and hopefully extra cash in your pocket for the summer holidays.”
iSelect's top 5 tips for finding the best value energy deal
1. Don't set and forget - Retailers are now required to notify you when your rate changes or your discount expires. This should prompt you to compare other plans in the market to ensure you're getting the best value deal.
2. Flexible payment options - Pay your bills weekly, fortnightly or monthly, or sign up for bill smoothing, which will divide your annual usage into even monthly instalments, to avoid bill shock.
3. Don't be distracted by discounts - Many retailers advertise heavily discounted rates (up to 30% off) but are often conditional. Opting for a retailer that offers a lower ongoing rate without discounts can be cheaper in the long-run, especially if you often pay your bills late.
4. Look out for special offers - Some retailers will offer you a better deal if you pay on time, manage your bills online or pay by direct debit. Keep an eye out for these special introductory offers but beware they generally expire after a year or two.
5. Shop around - Use increased energy competition to your advantage by comparing current offers. Call an energy comparison service like iSelect and make sure you have a copy of your latest bill handy.

Today, the energy industry — the industry that powers every other industry — is under widespread attack, with environmentalists calling for the rapid elimination of fossil fuels and the phasing out of nuclear energy. But a growing movement of energy champions is hitting back, and in a newly released panel discussion, three of them share their observations from the front lines.
The panel, “Creating a New Generation of Energy Champions,” took place at the Ayn Rand Institute’s annual gala in August 2021 and was moderated by Yaron Brook. It featured Onkar Ghate, ARI senior fellow and chief philosophy officer; Alex Epstein, a former fellow at ARI and author of Fossil Future; and Bud Brigham, an oil and gas entrepreneur. Among the topics covered:
- The link between energy and Ayn Rand: reason as the ultimate source of energy;
- Ayn Rand’s philosophical championing of the Industrial Revolution;
- The gap between public fears of climate disaster and the actual state of the world;
- How Epstein has benefited from working at ARI and consulting with ARI experts in his journey to becoming an energy champion;
- Epstein’s assessment of the new “energy humanism” movement;
- ARI’s plans to help create a new generation of energy champions;
- Relevant learning opportunities available at the Ayn Rand University;
- Brigham’s support for ARI.

Air of desperation amid ongoing disruptions to PSL and other sports calendars
The world of local and international sport suffered another 24 hours of change as the effects of the coronavirus pandemic upended tournaments, events and entire calendars through Tuesday and into Wednesday.
Locally, sports minister Nathi Mthethwa confirmed that Premier Soccer League fixtures could go ahead in the coming weeks, but would have to be played behind closed doors.
But less than 24 hours later the South African Football Association (SAFA) suspended the league until April 4 after a scheduled meeting with PSL chairman Irvin Khoza failed to happen after the latter cancelled.
Safa president Danny Jordaan said: “We have a responsibility to govern football and therefore protect the players. “It’s not possible to play. Safa decided there would be no matches – that’s it,”
Mthethwa’s decision to allow the PSL to continue behind closed doors was a bold and odd call amid growing fears of a huge spike in coronavirus infections across the country, especially as rugby and cricket have both suspended all tournaments for the foreseeable future.
As of Wednesday morning, there had been 116 positive cases with local transmissions of the disease now up to six.
Mthethwa met major South African sporting stakeholders in Pretoria on Tuesday and gave football the green light as long as it adhered to the government’s stringent coronavirus protocols outlined in President Cyril Ramaphosa’s declaration of a State of National Disaster last Sunday. One of the key proclamations is that gatherings of more than 100 people are outlawed.
“As we speak, they (the PSL) can have their match tomorrow with no spectators,” Mthethwa said. “Even if we are going to reach a point where there may be no matches, it will be gradually phased in. But there is an obligation on them to follow to the letter the health and hygiene protocols as outlined by the Department of Health.
“They have said that players will wash their hands, using water and soap. They have said on their own that when the match starts, there will be no handshakes as per tradition. They also know that you will need sanitisers.
“What we are emphasising here is when players are celebrating, they must do it individually. It is a change of behaviour because if we don’t do that we will be spreading the pandemic.”
The problem, which the minister did not address, is how can the PSL stop thousands of fans descending on a stadium to attempt to watch a match. Even if fans are not allowed into the stadium (which brings its own security issues), the gathering would break at least one of the conditions of the State of Emergency.
“The issue of fans pitching up at stadiums even with the closed-door policy was not discussed,” ministry spokesperson Mickey Modisane confirmed to Daily Maverick.
“However, the Minister was clear that the league can continue under the strict measures of the National State of Disaster. We need to have more dialogue on this and one of the ways of averting the situation is for all matches to be broadcast freely on the public broadcaster.
“This situation is still under further discussion. The PSL has a board of governors’ meeting on Thursday. Our priority is to preserve lives and stop the infection growing. If that means playing behind closed doors or not playing at all, lives have to be spared.”
The meeting was amicable but there was an air of desperation as sports federations emphasised to government their potential financial plight.
Football, rugby and cricket, as well as some less high profile sports, are largely funded by SuperSport’s huge annual broadcast rights fees. With the suspension of all leagues and competitions in the case of cricket and rugby, and the likely suspension of the PSL in the near future, technically sports are in breach of their contracts with SuperSport.
Attempts to reach MultiChoice to discuss its future broadcast and business strategy around the marketing and broadcasting of its major product – sport – have so far been unsuccessful.
Tension between minister and Comrades Marathon
There were also moments of tension at the meeting after what appeared to be a lack of communication between Mthethwa and the Comrades Marathon Association (CMA).
Mthethwa lashed out at the CMA, which earlier in the day issued a statement saying it would not yet cancel or postpone the iconic ultra-marathon between Durban and Pietermaritzburg. The 95th edition of the race is scheduled for 14 June.
“With nearly three months to go to Comrades 2020‚ the CMA Board has decided that it is premature to postpone this year’s Comrades Marathon‚” CMA chairperson Cheryl Winn said in a statement.
“We will, however, continue to monitor the situation on a daily basis and will make a decision by 17 April depending upon how the situation evolves on whether to postpone Comrades to a date later in the year.”
That went down like a skydiver without a parachute with the minister, who made it clear that the government was in charge of ultimate decisions around the mass gatherings of people.
“It was an irresponsible statement that was made earlier today by the Comrades Marathon that they will go on like nothing has happened,” an angry Mthethwa said. “We want to reiterate that nothing will go on. Comrades Marathon will never go on.
“We are dealing with a problem of the highest proportion here. I don’t know how the event will take place if they still have to come to the government and apply.
“It is a very irresponsible statement and I want to say that very strongly. This statement should not be followed through. It is a terrible statement. It just needs to be dealt with decisively so that it doesn’t go through. Almost all our sporting codes have been on the ball on this matter and we should continue to move with one voice. We have to come together.”
Later, the CMA appeared to dig its heels in when race director Rowyn James told Netwerk 24: “The race only takes place three months from now, and the situation can change. Therefore, it is still too early to cancel or postpone the race.
“The CMA is a responsible organisation and there is no way we would do anything against the instruction of Athletics South Africa (ASA) and national government.”
Global events further culled
Three of sports’ biggest global events, The European Football Championships, the French Open at Roland Garros and golf’s US PGA Championship have been postponed to later in the year.
It appears that the decision to postpone the French Open caused confusion in global tennis. The action, taken and communicated by the Fédération Française de Tennis (FFT), appears to have been done without consultation with players and the consideration of other events on the calendar.
Roland Garros was set for 24 May-7 June and has now been pencilled in to start on 20 September, just a week after the US Open ends. Traditionally the French Open is the season’s second Grand Slam and the US Open the fourth.
Grand Slam tournaments require a fortnight to complete and with the proposed new French Open start date, Roland Garros would overlap with several ATP (men’s) and WTA (women’s) tour events. ATP Tour events in Metz, St. Petersburg, Chengdu, Sofia and Zhuhai and women’s WTA events in Guangzhou, Seoul, Tokyo and Wuhan all take place over the newly proposed time slot.
The popular Laver Cup, a men’s team event in the style of golf’s Ryder Cup played between Europe and the rest of the world, would also be affected. Most of the world’s leading men’s players participate in it.
The news to reschedule Roland Garros incensed some players. Canadian Vasek Pospisil, currently ranked 98 in the world and one of those players most affected by the halt of the entire ATP season, expressed his anger on Twitter: “This is madness: major announcement by Roland Garros changing the dates to one week after the US Open. No communication with the players or the ATP. We have ZERO say in this sport. It’s time.”
Golf’s slightly less crowded calendar meant the PGA Tour could find a suitable time slot to reschedule one of the four men’s majors without recriminations.
The major, which had been due to take place in TPC Harding Park in San Francisco from 11-17 May, has been rescheduled for September.
“Throughout our evaluation process, we have been committed to following the guidance of public health authorities and, given the coronavirus shelter-in-place order in effect in San Francisco, postponement is the best decision for all involved,” said PGA of America chief executive Seth Waugh.
“This is a reflection of a thoughtful process. We are and have been working in concert with commissioner Jay Monahan and our partners and friends at the PGA Tour to find an alternative date that works for all. We are all very hopeful for a great outcome.”
Euro 2020, scheduled for 12 June-12 July across 12 European cities from Glasgow to Baku, has been postponed by a year. UEFA, the continent’s football controlling body, held a crisis conference call between its 55 federations on Tuesday.
They also hopefully rescheduled the Champions League final for 27 June and the Europa League final for 24 June. DM

For years, the U.S. Midwest has been a perennial net exporter of natural gas to Eastern Canada. But with Marcellus/Utica and Canadian gas supplies barraging the region, that’s changing. Less Midwest gas is flowing across the border into Ontario. At the same time, Canadian gas supply that used to serve U.S. Northeast demand is being displaced to the Midwest. That’s on top of Marcellus/Utica gas that’s physically moving to the Midwest via new capacity on the Rockies Express and Rover pipelines. The result is that the Midwest’s net exports to Canada are declining and even flipping into net imports during some summer months when the market is in storage injection mode. Thus far, this reshuffling of supply has occurred at the expense of Gulf and Midcontinent gas that historically has served the Midwest. But now there’s little of that left to displace from the Midwest, even as still more supply is expected to move there. Canadian producers are banking on capturing more of the Midwest market, as are Northeast producers via expansions like Rover’s Phase II and NEXUS. In other words, there’s a fierce battle brewing for Midwest market share. Today, we look at flow dynamics and factors affecting Canadian gas flows to the U.S. Midwest.
Earlier this year, we began a series examining Canada’s gas exports to the U.S. by region. These gas flows play a key role in the U.S. natural gas supply-demand balance, but have been in flux in recent years due to increasing competition from gas-producing basins in the U.S. We started in Part 1 by looking at the macro fundamentals affecting the Canadian gas supply-demand balance, including growing gas production from the Montney and Duvernay shale plays in Alberta and British Columbia. While Canada’s gas demand is also rising — for gas-fired power generation and to supply steam and power for oil sands production — exports remain a necessary demand source for Canadian producers. However, the problem is that the U.S. needs less and less of that Canadian gas.
As we demonstrated in Part 2 — using pipeline flow data from our friends at OPIS PointLogic — the U.S. Northeast region, which used to rely heavily on imports from Canada, became a net exporter of gas to Eastern Canada on an annual average basis in 2017 for the first time. Despite being pushed out of the Northeast, however, flow data showed that Canadian producers have managed to maintain overall market share in the U.S., implying the displaced exports were being offset elsewhere in the U.S. So, next we turned to examine border flows in the western U.S.
As we saw in Part 3 and Part 4, Canadian gas flows also have faced competition from Bakken production in the Rockies region, where the two supply areas are competing for limited pipeline capacity on the Northern Border and Alliance pipelines. To make matters worse, both of these pipes are facing competition from westbound flows from the Marcellus/Utica via the likes of Tallgrass Energy’s Rockies Express Pipeline (REX), Energy Transfer Partners’ (ETP) Rover Pipeline and soon also Enbridge’s NEXUS. So, between rising Bakken production volumes and the potential for oversupply conditions developing in the Chicago market area, prospects are looking dim for Canadian gas to increase — or even maintain — market share on Northern Border and Alliance.

WASHINGTON — NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has started the process of deploying the sunshield required to keep the spacecraft cold enough to operate, a process that is one of the riskiest aspects of the mission.
NASA announced Dec. 28 the spacecraft controllers had started the multiday process of deploying the sunshield by lowering two components called Unitized Pallet Structures, one on the front side of the spacecraft and the other on the back. The front structure locked into position at 1:21 p.m. Eastern, followed by the rear one about six hours later.
The structures contain the five-layer aluminum-coated Kapton sunshield. Once deployed, the sunshield will block sunlight from reaching the telescope and its instruments, allowing them to cool to their operating temperature of –233 degrees Celsius. Those cold temperatures are required for the telescope to function effectively for infrared observations.
The lowering of the structures is only the start of a complex process to deploy the sunshield. After the tower that holds the telescope is extended, a process scheduled for Dec. 29, the sunshield covers will release the next day. Booms on the left and right sides of the spacecraft will extend a day later, after which cables will shape the five layers into their final form.
The projected timeline for the mission calls for the sunshield deployment process to be completed Jan. 2. However, project engineers cautioned before the launch that deploying the sunshield was perhaps the most difficult process of the overall commissioning of JWST.
“The sunshield is one of those things that is almost inherently indeterministic,” said Mike Menzel, lead mission systems engineer for JWST at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, during a November briefing. “The sunshield is one that has some risk to it.”
At that same briefing, Krystal Puga, JWST spacecraft systems engineer at Northrop Grumman, compared the sunshield deployment process to a “Rube Goldberg machine” in that each step of the deployment triggers the next, using a combination of cables, pulleys and motors.
She added, though, that she was confident that the sunshield will deploy as designed despite that complexity. “We performed multiple deployment testing over several years on both small and full-sized models,” she said. “This gives us the confidence that Webb is going to deploy successfully.”

England boss Hope Powell says she is not afraid to leave out star names if they are not fit for next month's European Championship in Sweden.
Captain Casey Stoney, record scorer Kelly Smith, Steph Houghton, Karen Carney and Rachel Brown-Finnis have all had injuries in the Euro 2013 build-up.
None of the five took part in the 1-1 draw with Japan on Wednesday.
"We don't want a situation where they do further damage. If we have to offload players, we will," said Powell.
"We played the Dutch behind closed doors on Monday. It was a friendly and players got minutes and that's the most important thing."
England travel to Sweden on Monday, which is also the deadline for final squads to be submitted, before facing the hosts on 4 July in a pre-tournament friendly. But Powell can replace any player up until their first group game against Spain on 12 July so long as medical reasons are submitted and agreed with Uefa.
Smith was the only player not present at the friendly game at Burton Albion's Pirelli Stadium, in which Eniola Aluko scored the opener before world champions Japan equalised late on through Nahomi Kawasumi.
The remaining quartet of injured players all took part in the warm-up before the game but Powell said she did not want to take any risks with Smith, 34, who has not played since picking up an injury for Arsenal on 20 March.
Powell added: "Kelly is still here and doing everything that everybody else is doing. I don't want her to warm up, she is loaded enough."
The England boss described the draw against Japan - silver medallists at the 2012 Olympics and ranked third in the world - as a "decent result".
"The players recognise that they can play Japan and not lose, they can play the United States and win," she said.
"We are not always going to win, but we are difficult to beat and I think that goes a long way in saying what the squad have got in terms of potential and the desire to succeed, and that's important in tournament play."

What a night at the Brooklyn Academy of Music last Thursday.
The Fort Greene institution honored choreographer Merce Cunningham with a gala to mark not only his 90th birthday, but his show, “Nearly Ninety,” a new collaboration with John Paul Jones (yes, the guy from Led Zepplin!), Takehisa Kosugi and Sonic Youth.
Actress Parker Posey was resplendent in her white jacket, and Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth, one of the collaborators on the Cunningham piece, was joined by Paul D. Miller (you know him as D J Spooky).

An FAA investigation of the New York Terminal Radar Approach Control (Tracon) determined that it is "more than adequately staffed for safe operations and that local union-controlled scheduling practices are inefficient and wasteful, creating overtime costs that are more than double any other air ATC facility in the country." The need for overtime was compounded, the report said, "by absences due to widespread abuse of sick leave and workers c
Terminal Control Center
While legislation that would direct the Transportation Security Administration to study the vulnerability of general aviation airports to terrorist acts is dragging through Congress, there is talk in the GA community about possible changes to the widely reviled Washington, D.C., air defense identification zone (ADIZ). The ADIZ now covers 3,700 sq mi that closely follow the Washington-Baltimore Class B airspace.
The FAA selected a preferred alternative in late March for the New York/New Jersey/Philadelphia airspace redesign project after 10 years of studies, meetings, legal wrangling and a bit of mud slinging. The Integrated Airspace Alternative (IAA) calls for entirely new concepts in airspace management and routing that the agency feels will greatly reduce delays in the busy northeast corridor.
Stephen Hickok of Hickok & Associates, Orange Beach, Ala., announced on Thursday that the FAA performed a successful flight inspection on February 23 of the company’s design for the first helicopter simultaneous noninterfering (SNI) instrument approach in a complex airspace system.
At about the same time Transportation Secretary Norman Mineta was announcing plans for a “next-generation air transportation system” to the Washington Aero Club in late January, word was filtering out of the White House that the Bush Administration wanted to cut the FAA’s facilities and equipment (F&E) budget for fiscal year 2005 by almost half a billion dollars.
The FAA last month chose Lockheed Martin from a field of five bidders to provide the services now offered by the agency’s 58 automated flight service stations in the continental U.S., Hawaii and Puerto Rico. Under a five-year contract that includes five additional option years, the agency expects to save $2.2 billion if it exercises all of the option years.
Shortly after midnight on October 24, a Learjet 35A, a Med Flight air ambulance flight, crashed in mountainous terrain eight miles east of San Diego Brown Field Municipal Airport (SDM). All five aboard–the ATP-rated captain, copilot and three medical crew–were killed and the jet was destroyed.
“The job of a controller is no longer just separating airplanes,” National Air Traffic Controllers Association president John Carr told attendees at a symposium on “Post 9/11 Security Impacts on Air Traffic Control and Aviation” in Washington, D.C., in late January. “They have to be aware of possibilities that we did not even contemplate on the morning of September 10.”
Last month, FAA COO Russell Chew told a standing-room-only audience at the annual conference of the U.S. Air Traffic Control Association that a widening gap between the falling income and rising expenses of the agency’s Air Traffic Organization (ATO) could reach a cumulative $8.2 billion over the next five years and he said the FAA must take positive actions to close this gap.
Why, when the safety record of professionally flown turbine twins is so impressive, did four business aircraft experience fatal accidents during a five-week period late last year? Three were fan-powered–a Learjet 35A, a Gulfstream III and a Challenger 601–and one was a King Air 200. There was a highly qualified two-person crew at the controls of each aircraft. Three of the four airplanes were operating in accordance with Part 91.

45% below stability threshold in West Tennessee
JACKSON, Tenn. — United Way of West Tennessee President Matthew Marshall spoke to the Rotary Club Wednesday on the needs of those in our community.
According to a report by United Way, 27% of West Tennesseans are above the federal poverty threshold, but are below a stability threshold. This means they are one issue away from instability, while 18% are reportedly living in poverty.
Marshall said this is a challenge to be met as a community and that we can step up and meet the needs of households struggling in our community to help each family be successful.
Marshall said United Way has grown significantly in the past three years to help our community and you can be a part of it.
“We love when people come and volunteer as part of our programs, specifically our [READ Team] or Tutor U. But we also say to people, if you don’t have the time to volunteer, well be an advocate for the work United Way is doing, help us spread the word. But at the same time, if you want to be a part of this, work in a deeper level, and it’s a greater commitment, give to the great work that’s happening through our agency and the agencies that we support,” Marshall said.
Marshall went on to say that they are currently focusing on programs already created to help our community.
More are in the works and expected to be announced at a later date.

Our Kenya Premier League prediction looks at the fixtures in round 2 of the domestic competition.
Matchweek 2 kicks off on 1st September with at least four games set to take place on the first day.
Round 2 of the games will end on 13th September due to varying fixture dates and other team engagements.
Low scorelines recorded in matchweek 1
While many fans of various Kenya Premier League teams anticipated a great start to the campaign, teams like AFC Leopards and Gor Mahia ended with only a point from their effort in matchweek 1.
In matchweek 1, there were over 2.5 goals in only one of the encounters that pitted Nzoia United against Ulinzi Stars. Nzoia won the game 2-1 against the expectations of many.
Leopards which hosted FC Talanta will play away from home against Kenya Commercial Bank. Bitter rivals Gor Mahia play away against Ulinzi Stars in a match expected to be very entertaining.
Will the top guns end the poor start to the 2023/24 KPL campaign?

The big question ahead of round 2 of the FKF Kenya Premier League is whether teams like Gor Mahia, AFC Leopards, Kenya Police and KCB will make the best of their second chances in the 2023/24 campaign.
Gor Mahia shared the spoils in a 1-1 draw with Sofapaka. Kogalo were underwhelming in the game only to mount a late attempt to try and overturn the result shortly before the final whistle.
Leopards were held to a 0-0 draw against FC Talanta in what was largely a low-intensity game and a poor start for Ingwe.
The second round will see both Gor Mahia and AFC Leopards play away from home, so we could see even more surprises in matchweek 2.

5 FKF Premier League matchweek 2 predictions
All the above round 2 fixtures in the Kenya Premier League will take place between 2nd and 3 September. Wazito FC vs Nzoia United will play on 13th September.
Here are some tip picks in our Kenya Premier League prediction ahead of round 2 kick-off:
Tusker vs Kariobangi Sharks: Brewers expected to get their second win
Tusker finished second last season and are already looking to set the bar high in the 2023/24 season.
The Brewers kicked off this season's campaign with an emphatic 0-1 away win over Bandari. They welcome Sharks at the Thika Stadium and no doubt Tusker FC are the favourites here.
Kakamega Homeboyz favourites in the season opener against Muranga Seal
Muranga Seal were voted by fans as the club of the week in matchweek 1. Can they keep the momentum after the promoted side won their season opener?
— FKF Premier League (@Officialfkfpl) August 31, 2023
A continental campaign saw Kakamega Homeboyz's first game postponed but this season's opener comes against a weaker side in Muranga Seal.
Muranga Seal were promoted to the top flight last season and despite defeating Shabana FC, another promoted outfit in the first game, we don't think they will be a match to the Homeboyz.
KCB vs AFC Leopards: Ingwe likely to settle for another draw
Leopards would have wished this clash with KCB to come late in the season, especially after an underwhelming start to the 2023/24 FKF campaign.
KCB is never an easy opponent and the fact that they play at home in a season opener comes with all the expectations. We think this will end square.
The last encounter ended 0-0, a result we could see here or at best a 1-1 outcome.
Gor Mahia risks another defeat against Ulinzi Stars in round 2 of the 2023/24 KPL season
Much was expected from Gor Mahia in the season opener but they ended up disappointing fans.
A draw at home wasn't something to be happy about and so, a clash with Ulinzi Stars, which happen to be another strong rival, may not end well for Kogalo.
With that, our next Kenya Premier League prediction is a loss for Gor Mahia when they play against Ulinzi Stars in matchweek 2.
Gor Mahia lost once and drew as many times in their last away games against Ulinzi Stars.
Sofapaka to edge out Bandari in second game of the season
Our final Kenya Premier League prediction is on the Sofapaka vs Bandari FC. We expect Sofapaka to be the stronger side here.
The hosts were relentless in their season opener against Gor Mahia, so defeating Bandari who lost at home in the season opener to Tusker and now play on the road should be a matter of when the match kicks off.

The Women’s Preventive Services Initiative (WPSI) announced the 2020 update to the Recommendations for Well-Woman Care—A Well-Woman Chart. The well-woman chart is a comprehensive tool that summarizes preventive services recommendations for women from the WPSI, U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, and Bright Futures based on age, health status, and risk factors. The chart links to additional recommendations for immunizations from the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices.
Screening for anxiety was recently added to the 2020 Well-Woman Chart update. Given the high prevalence of anxiety disorders, lack of recognition in clinical practice, and multiple problems associated with untreated anxiety, the new evidenced-based recommendation advises clinicians to consider screening women who have not been recently screened. Details including clinical practice considerations, risk assessment methods, and the age and frequency for delivering services are described in the clinical summary tables that accompany the well-woman chart. The clinical summary tables and well-woman chart are available on the WPSI website for free.
Recommendations for Well-Woman Care—A Well-Woman Chart provides a framework for incorporating preventive health services for women into clinical practice. These services may be completed at a single visit or as part of a series of visits that take place over time. The recommendations are not intended as a statement of the standard of care and do not comprise all proper treatments or methods of care. Health care professionals should use clinical judgment in applying these recommendations to individual patient care and consider the needs and resources particular to the locality, the institution, or the type of practice. The well-woman chart is updated annually.

Android 4.3 didn’t show up at Google I/O, but that hasn’t stopped it from showing up everywhere else on the internet. According to a recent Bluetooth certification, a 7-inch ASUS tablet with the model K008 popped up running the latest, yet-to-be-announced version of Android. We can’t get any other details from the filing aside from Android 4.3, so this raises more questions than it answers.
Not too long ago, we saw what appeared to be a Nexus 7 model get the same certification running Android 4.3, so its possible that this new tablet could be a separate 7-inch tablet ASUS has in the pipeline. Hopefully Google won’t take too much longer to clarify this and announce a new Nexus 7 soon.

The event that Asus began promoting about a month ago with its series of video trailers is now available to watch in its entirety. Asus made use of the “We Transform” mantra as expected, and unveiled some pretty interesting products including the Transformer Pad Infinity, Fonepad Note, MeMoPad HD7, MeMoPad FHD 10 and Transformer Book Trio. Check out the full video after the break.
Asus has been busy this week announcing two new tablets, a phone and a transforming laptop/tablet that dual-boots Android and Windows. If that wasn’t enough, Asus CEO Jerry Shen took the opportunity to show off an unannounced tablet (called the MeMo Pad FHD 10 LTE) with an LTE radio built in during a Qualcomm keynote. The device, due out sometime in Q3 of this year, will obviously be powered by one of Qualcomm’s Snapdragon processors.
The tablet is almost identical to the MeMo Pad FHD 10, including a full HD display and ditching the Intel Atom processor for a Snapdragon. In his words, “In Q3 of this year, we will raise the bar of mobile devices by launching an incredible LTE tablet, which will have Qualcomm Snapdragon, full HD display and ASUS SonicMaster to bring our consumers the most superior and seamless mobile experience. I will save the rest for our launch event in the fall.”
Unfortunately that is all we know for now, but as usual check back constantly for more news as we get it.
ASUS revealed a new device today at Computex 2013 intended to compete in the market for phablet devices that come with their own stylus. The gorilla in the market space is the Samsung line of Galaxy Note devices. To compete, ASUS is releasing the ASUS FonePad Note with a 6-inch display backed by a 1.6GHz dual-core Atom Z2560 processor. The screen will be capable of running full HD at 1080p using a Super IPS+ display. The device will not be LTE-capable, but will support DC-HSPA+.
Tablet computers are no doubt sweet, but you know what’s even sweeter? Devices like the ASUS Transformer Book Trio that happen to run two operating systems at the same time. Yes, you read that right folks— the ASUS Transformer Book Trio is a special tablet that utilizes more than one operating system at the same time. So here’s the quick rundown of this new toy: it’s a tablet that can connect to a special keyboard dock, allowing it to function as a de facto laptop. Once the tablet is connected to the keyboard, all users will need to do is literally push a button and the dual-OS mode is then enabled— otherwise, the standalone tablet will function as your typical run-of-the-mill tablet.
In order to power two OSes at the same time, you have to have some meat on the inside— and ASUS certainly delivers. Right off the bat, the tablet features a Intel Core-i7 4500U processor in order to handle the Windows OS, while the 2GHz Intel Atom Z2580 chip will power the Android OS. Rounding out the device are a sexy IPS display Full HD display with a 1920 x 1080 resolution and up to 64GB storage standard. There’s no word yet on pricing and availability just yet, but expect additional details to be revealed as the device gets closer to hitting store shelves.
Hit the flip for the full presser.
As expected, ASUS is unveiling a number of tablets at Computex. They already announced an updated Transformer Infinity with a 2560 x 1600 display and a Tegra 4, but they also announced the mid-range MeMO Pad FHD 10 (pictured above) and the budget-friendly MeMO Pad HD 7 (pictured below). The FHD 10 is a 10-inch tablet with a Full HD IPS (1920 x 1200) display. It sports a 1.6GHz Intel Atom Z2560 processor, 16 or 32GB of internal memory, microSD slot, 5MP rear camera, 1.2MP front camera, and 10 hours of battery life playing 720p videos. It comes in at 9.5mm thick and will be available in Royal Blue, Silk White, and Vivid Pink. If you have your eye on this one, unfortunately you won’t be able to buy until it September. Pricing wasn’t specified.
As to the HD 7, this is a slight upgrade from the previous model and is again for the budget-conscious consumer. It comes with a 7-inch IPS HD (1280 x 800) display, an unknown quad-core processor (probably a Tegra 3), 8GB or 16GB of storage, microSD slot, 5MP rear camera, 1.2MP front camera, and 10 hours of battery life when playing 720p video. You will have your choice of black, white, pink or green for colors. These specs are pretty good when you consider the price. The 8GB version will run $129 and the 16GB will set you back only $149. It will be available internationally starting in July.
The original Transformer Pad Infinity was one hell of a tablet when it was introduced with the blazing fast Tegra 3 chip running the show, but ASUS felt that Computex 2013 was time to introduce a new variant of the device with updated specs. Right off the bat is the inclusion of NVIDIA’s Tegra 4 processsor and its 72 GPU cores to help provide some insane graphics. And speaking of which— ASUS has upped the IPS display by including a resolution of 2,500 x 1,600, placing it in direct competition with other premium tablets like the Nexus 10. Rounding out the improvements are a redesigned keyboard dock with a multi-touch touchpad, USB 3.0 and an SDXC card reader.
No word on pricing or the release date just yet, but we’re hopeful that the tablet won’t be too unreasonably priced and will have a release date within the next few months or so.
Earlier this month we mentioned that Asus would be releasing a successor to its 7-inch Memo Pad Android tablet, and now it seems as though it will launch at Computex 2013 next week. Reportedly called the Memo Pad HD, the device will feature a 7-inch IPS display with 1280 by 720 pixels, Android 4.2 Jelly Bean, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, 1GB of RAM, a quad-core 1.6GHz processor, and 16GB of internal memory. It’s rumored that the tablet will be on sale for $169, slightly higher priced than its predecessor, which was priced at $149 when it hit the market. Still, it’s an extremely affordable tablet with some pretty solid specs.
Earlier this month ASUS released a teaser video in preparation for Computex 2013 making use of the tagline “We Transform.” The company is at it again, this time releasing just a picture, seen above. There is a bit too much room for speculation here as this could be pretty much anything, ranging from a tablet, phone, both, or something entirely different. Only time will tell. Check back for updates as Computex 2013 approaches. Be sure to drop your predictions below in the comments.
Well look what the cat dragged in. A Nexus 7 with Android 4.3 onboard just showed up at the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) website. This means it was just certified. Actually it was certified on May 27th, but what is unusual is the model number. It shows as ME307T, which is the same model number as the original Nexus 7. We all know that a new and improved Nexus 7 is on the way, but I would think that it would have a different model number. As to the version of Android, you will notice the Software Version Number is JWR11, which is assumed to be Android 4.3.
I am not a Bluetooth certification expert, but I highly doubt ASUS would need to re-certify the original Nexus 7 for just Android 4.3, so there has to be newer hardware. Since this information is actually available on the Bluetooth SIG website, we know it can’t be fake. Whatever it is, it’s just one more piece of evidence that we are going to see a new Nexus 7 very soon.

It was over. The Kent State Golden Flashes, who had led Akron throughout the game, and who had sewed up the Mid-American Conference championship last Tuesday against Miami, had lost.
There was no way Jim Christian’s squad could win. Akron senior Jeremiah Wood had just canned a 3-pointer with like six seconds left to tie the game at 58.
Start the bus. Copy and paste the same lead that Doug Gulasy used after the Toledo loss, the Flashes had just collapsed like Britney Spears on a Thursday night. Frat brothers from Akron would never let fans, who left moments earlier, forget “The senior night miracle game.”
Kent State momentum gone. Golden Flash momentum going into the MAC tournament: toast, fin, see-ya-later, roll the credits.
Let’s be honest here, Wood was jumping up and down hollering and screaming. Akron senior point guard Nick Dials was actually smiling. The place was as loud as a 1985 Motley Crue concert with Ozzy Osborne playing lead guitar. The Zips were locked in the proceeding overtime.
I was not a true believer. I had shrinking faith after I saw Kent State fumble possession after possession in the final minute.
But they didn’t lose, because 20 some odd years ago, Al Fisher was born.
Fisher ran down the court and hit a 3-point shot that will have people in Bristol, Conn. saying, “Well, they’re ready for March.”
Look beyond the blown lead. Ignore the sloppy play against the press that allowed the Zips to come back (it’s hard to make adjustments to the full-court press when you have no timeouts). The Flashes took Akron out of the game in the first half, then, when it really mattered, the Flashes cut the hearts out of the home fans like the American Indian in “Last of the Mohicans.”
If you do focus on the comeback, make sure you look at tournament history, NCAA tournament history. Mid-majors, a derogatory term, don’t beat teams in the tournament by 15 points. They don’t hold a lead throughout the game and scrap by with an eight-point win.
Mid-majors win games by running down the court in the final six seconds and nailing a 3-point shot with a hand in the face in front of a hostile crowd (tournament games are supposed to be in neutral sites. But ask anyone who plays North Carolina in North Carolina in the second round of the NCAAs and see if they think it’s a neutral site.).
Mid-majors win games because there are point guards like Al Fisher who were overlooked by Duke, Kentucky, Kansas and any other team that defines a “BCS” team. Fisher never hesitated in those final seconds and he never even thought he would miss the shot.
That’s what mid-majors stars do. That’s how you beat a rival. And that’s how you win MAC player of the year.
It was over. But, now the only thing that is over is my doubting of the Kent State men’s basketball team.
