Core Technology turns to IQMS (DELMIAWORKS) to optimize capacity planning, minimize risk, nurture innovation, and improve cash flow.
Headquartered in Greensboro, North Carolina, Core Technology Molding Corporation is a manufacturing solutions provider that focuses on delivering cost-effective, integrated and innovative solutions to the world’s leading companies. Since 2007, two words have marked the foundation of its success story: organic growth.
Business Growth Limited by Legacy System
For years, Core Technology used a basic ERP system to support its operations and the execution of its growth strategy. Initially, the system worked well for standard “shoot and ship” components. However, as the company began to manufacture more complex bills of materials, and its shipping footprint grew, the business had to use outside systems to supplement its software.
Moreover, the legacy system lacked the functionality and scalability to handle other complexities related to Core Technology’s expansion. These included:
- Addressing the needs of its growing OEM customers
- Handling increased staff communications
- More effectively managing back office and manufacturing processes
Realizing that it had outgrown the old system, Core Technology evaluated IQMS along with another ERP solution. After comparing the two offerings, the company selected IQMS (DELMIAWORKS) based on the software’s comprehensive capabilities, including the ability to monitor data in real time. Cost-effectiveness also played a role in selecting IQMS, since the implementing the other ERP solution would require twice the cost and time. Additionally, the company obtained positive comments from other manufacturers using IQMS’s ERP software system ERP software system ERP software system.
“We chose IQMS because of its reputation as a superior company with a top-notch product, along with some of the most knowledgeable employees in the industry,” said Brandon Frederick, manufacturing engineer and business development manager at Core Technology. “The IQMS team means business when it comes to solving problems and having elite customer service.”
With the move to IQMS, the manufacturer is furthering its initiatives to improve communications, capacity planning, and cash flow, as well as reduce risk and ensure high quality.

MONROE COUNTY, MI (WTOL) - Telegraph Road in Monroe County was shut down for hours Friday afternoon after a two-vehicle crash killed two people and sent several others to area hospitals for treatment.
The crash happened around 2:30 p.m. near Telegraph and Heiss Road.
Michigan troopers said a van that carried a total of nine passengers, seven of which were developmentally disabled adults and residents at a care facility, was attempting to cross the intersection on Telegraph Road when it was struck by a Matco Tool truck.
The impact of the collision caused the van to rollover and land on its passenger side trapping everyone inside it, while the driver of the truck lost control of the vehicle and ended up in a field on the side of the road.
When emergency crews arrived on scene, they pronounced a 60-year-old man, who was a passenger of the van, dead.
Two other occupants of the van suffered critical injuries and were transported by helicopter to area hospitals. The other six passengers were transported by ambulance to several area hospitals for injuries varying from serious to non-life-threatening.
A woman later died from at the hospital from her injuries.
The truck driver was also transported to a local hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
Troopers add that the truck driver had the right of way and the driver of the van did not.
The driver of the van and the front seat passenger were staff members of the care facility. They were taking the residents back home after a trip to Calder's Dairy Farm.
This is an ongoing investigation, however neither drugs nor alcohol appear to be factors in the crash.
Anyone with any information regarding the crash is asked to call Tpr. Christopher Hardaway of the Monroe Post at 734-242-3500.

This spooky season, we’re all looking forward to some tricks and, most importantly, lots of treats. It’s also the time of year when your pets may try and sneak a piece (or 10!) of candy from your trick-or-treating stash. Unfortunately, if your pet ate a candy wrapper—with or without treats inside—it can wreak havoc on a cat or dog’s digestive system and can potentially lead to serious problems.
If your cat or dog ate a candy wrapper here’s what to look out for this Halloween to help you feel more prepared.
Signs Your Pet Has Eaten a Candy Wrapper
“If your pet gets into Halloween candy of any kind, start monitoring the symptoms they may show,” says Dr. Megan Conrad, BVMS, an associate veterinarian at WellHaven Pet Health in Portland, Oregon. “Generally, when pets eat candy, they don't bother to remove the wrappers.”
If your cat or dog ate candy, pet parents should note the following:
- What kind of candy their dog or cat ate
- How much they think was ingested
- If the wrapper was also eaten
If the wrapper was eaten, watch for these signs:
- Decreased appetite
- If your pet is poop or straining to poop
And when your pet does poop, take a good look at it and search for the wrapper. If the wrapper is small, it is likely that the pet will pass the wrapper as a part of the digestion process. However, depending on the size of your pet (and if the wrapper is large), eating a candy wrapper can cause a medical emergency due to a dangerous blockage.
If your pet eats a foil wrapper of a cellophane wrapper? This can cause a bowel obstruction, Conrad says, which can require surgery to correct. And while X-rays and a trip to the emergency vet may be necessary to diagnose this problem, there is also a chance that a candy wrapper can adhere to the lining of your pet’s stomach, which can be difficult to diagnose because it does not always show up on an X-ray, says Emmy-winning, Los Angeles-based veterinarian Dr. Jeff Werber.
Treating a Pet Who Has Eaten a Candy Wrapper
If you suspect that your pet has eaten a candy wrapper, it’s worth visiting your veterinarian or emergency vet center for a checkup and X-rays.
Most of the time, such episodes do not require surgery, however, sometimes the intestines may need to be lubricated to help dislodge material and allow it to be eliminated properly as part of your pet’s digestion. Sometimes fibrous foods like bread can help “carry” the wrapper through your pet’s system to elimination, but it’s important to monitor your pet throughout the entire process.
If your cat or dog ate chocolate inside of a candy wrapper with xylitol in it (or any chocolate) your veterinarian may suggest several methods to induce vomiting and will likely undergo blood testing to assess the degree of toxicity. Prior to visiting your veterinarian, your pet should be kept in a cool, quiet space and should remain as calm as possible.
Candy Pets Should Always Avoid—
And What to Do If They Eat It
Candy corn, chocolate covered raisins, caramel apples, and sugar-free candy should all be out of reach for furry friends.
Not only do certain candies, like lollipops and other hard candies, pose a choking hazard, but if candies are consumed along with the wrapper, they can also present problems for your pet, including:
- Xylitol toxicity: Certain sugar-free candies and baked goods contain xylitol, a sugar substitute that lowers blood sugar and can cause vomiting, loss of coordination, seizures and even liver failure. Symptoms of xylitol toxicity can develop within 15 to 30 minutes of its ingestion.
- Chocolate toxicity: Chocolate toxicity is another issue that can be present if your pet consumes a candy wrapper that contains chocolate. This popular treat among humans is especially toxic to dogs, and if you suspect chocolate poisoning, it’s important to contact your vet or a pet poison helpline ASAP. Different kinds of chocolate have different levels of theobromine, the chemical in chocolate that is toxic to dogs. Though baking chocolate is the most toxic for pets, dark chocolate, milk chocolate and semi-sweet chocolate candy can lead to chocolate toxicity and cause symptoms including vomiting, diarrhea, low blood pressure and seizures.
Preventing Your Pet From Eating Candy Wrappers
Keep foods and treats out of reach and offer your pet appropriate alternatives.
“The best thing you can do is to try to anticipate the problem and plan for it appropriately,” Werber says. “If a tasty treat is left on the counter within reach of your pets, you can bet that when your back is turned, they will try to grab it.”
Because certain quantities of items, like chocolate, can become toxic, keep all candy out of reach and be mindful of what party guests and visitors offer your pets.
“You can always find a pet-proof container to stick that candy or wrapped snacks in so they cannot sneak a couple of treats,” Conrad says.
FAQs About Pets Eating Candy Wrappers
Dr. Katie Pagán, DVM, a partner doctor at Heart + Paw in Baltimore, Maryland, provides more insight on what to do if your pet eats a candy wrapper, so you can ensure your cat or dog’s health is perfect this Halloween.
Q: What happens if a dog eats a Hershey Kisses wrapper? (Weirdly specific question, we know, but it’s a commonly asked one!)
A: “Chocolate is toxic to dogs. Depending on how much/type of chocolate, it could be a medical emergency. Contact your veterinarian or emergency vet as soon as possible.”
Q: How long does it take for a dog to pass candy wrappers?
A: “It can take upwards of 24 to 48 hours for a dog to pass a candy wrapper, if they are going to pass it.”
Q: Are candy wrappers toxic?
A: “The wrapper itself is not toxic. Chocolate and sugar-free candy are toxic to pets.”
Q: What is the best way to dispose of a candy wrapper?
A: “A tightly closed garbage can is best. Some dogs are magicians, so you need to ensure they are not able to get into the trash.”
Q: What other types of wrappers do pets commonly eat?
A: “Food wrappers are another common wrapper besides candy.”
It’s natural for pet parents to be worried when your dog or cat ingests something they aren’t supposed to eat. Halloween is an especially scary time with the potential for pets to get into your trick-or-treating candy stash quicker than you can say “Boo!”
Make sure you collect as many details as possible before contacting your vet. It’s important to know if the ingredients in the type of candy they’ve eaten match any toxic foods, like what makes sugar-free or chocolate candy so dangerous. And if you still aren’t sure if what your pet has eaten is OK for them, give an animal poison control hotline a call as a next step.

How should companies go about applying MFRS 15 Revenue from contracts with customers?
By Abdul Razak Rahman
On 2 September 2014, the Malaysian Accounting Standards Board (MASB) issued MFRS 15 ‘Revenue from Contracts with Customers’ which mirrors IFRS 15 issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. This new revenue standard is effective for the financial period beginning on or after 1 January 2018.
The standard focuses on the performance obligations in a contract, and allocating a transaction price to those obligations by applying the 5-step model prescribed, explained Rasmimi Ramli, MIA’s Head of Financial Reporting & Assurance Department and the moderator for the session on MFRS 15 at the MIA MFRS Conference 2017. She advised that since the standard is applicable to all contracts with customers, it is important to fully understand the scope which the standard covers to eliminate those contracts that are not applicable to MFRS 15.
Identifying a Contract
When identifying a contract under step 1 of the 5-step model, there are a few criteria that must be fulfilled.
One important criterion is whether the collection is probable by establishing the customer’s intention and ability to pay.
For step 2 – identifying the separate performance obligation under the contracts, the key assessment is whether the performance obligations are capable of being distinct and separately identifiable from other promises in the contract.
The next step is to determine the transaction price; other factors to consider apart from the selling price are variable consideration such as rebates and discounts, the financing component, non-cash consideration as well as consideration payable to customers. Once the transaction price has been determined, it is then allocated to each performance obligation.
The final step in the 5-step model is the revenue recognition. Revenue can only be recognised over time if it meets either one of the three criteria prescribed in the standard, failing which it is to be recognised at a point of time.
The disclosure requirement of MFRS 15 is also important. Apart from disclosing details regarding the contracts with the customers, other disclosure requirements include significant judgements used in applying the standard, assets recognised from costs to obtain or fulfil a contract and any practical expedient in implementing MFRS 15.
The Implementation Journey – Where do we stand?
Izzad Shamsuddin, Partner, Audit & Business Advisory, Deloitte Malaysia highlighted that the implementation of MFRS 15 is at various stages, depending on the type of the organisation. Listed companies are at the forefront and the most advanced due to their quarterly reporting requirements, and they are at the gap analysis stage for implementation. Big private companies are generally at the familiarisation and education stage whilst other private companies are lagging behind. However, the awareness is encouraging evidenced by the increase in the number of queries and close sessions requested by clients.
Irvin Menezes of PwC Malaysia and Project Chair, MASB MFRS 15 Working Group observed that the implementation stage also depends on the type of the industry. Companies within the telecommunication industry for example, as one of the most likely affected industries, are in the advanced stage of implementation. In the case of the telcos, due to the sheer size of their customers, systems customisation is important to support the implementation as part of their global roll-out of MFRS 15. Irvin also added that MFRS 15 is one of a few standards that conceptually is different and comprehensive, as it does not only affect the financial reporting, but also has strategic implications across the business.
Tips for Success
“The implementation of MFRS 15 is a journey for the whole organisation, and not finance alone,” cautioned Izzad on the recommended approach in implementing MFRS 15. He added that steps 1 to 3 of the prescribed 5-step model involve deal makers within the organisation whilst finance only comes in at steps 4 and 5. Educating and understanding the implications of MFRS 15 to the business, is therefore key, not only for finance but also for other business functions within the organisation.
The next step is to look at the existing processes and map it to the requirement of MFRS 15 and at this gap analysis stage, inputs from the deal makers are important. Once the gaps have been identified, they have to be addressed during the implementation stage. The gaps will typically include among others, bringing up IT and systems capabilities to support the implementation as well as any change management. “The challenge is to ensure that the outputs or the end results meet the standard’s requirements,” added Irvin.
Irvin also highlighted the practical issues that need to be considered when implementing the standard. Under step 1 of identifying the contract for example, all the 5 required criteria must be fulfilled and they are all equally challenging. For a contract to exist under MFRS 15, the standard calls for an approved contract and commitment from the respective parties to perform their obligations. However, for contracts with termination clauses, the notion that commitment in the contract exists can then be questioned and challenged. Similarly, there are also situations where contracts are found to be incomplete and lacking important information such as clear payment terms, or complicated contracts that contain ambiguous terms which makes it difficult to identify contracting parties’ rights or establish commercial substance.
Another practical issue in applying MFRS 15 is the identification of a distinct performance obligation in a particular contract. Paragraph 22 of the standard states that ‘At contract inception, an entity shall assess the goods or services promised in a contract with a customer and shall identify as a performance obligation each promise to transfer to the customer either (a) a good or service (or a bundle of goods and services that is distinct; or (b) a series of distinct goods and services that are substantially the same and that have the same pattern of transfer to the customer. The standard further defines distinct as to be able to benefit from the goods and services either on its own or together with other resources; and separately identifiable from other promises in the contract.’ Izzad advised that in interpreting the concept of “distinct”, the benefits derived from the promise to the customer have to be assessed from the customer’s point of view. Therefore, revenue from a contract that has a few distinct performance obligations that are inter-conditional can only be recognised after all the obligations have been fulfilled and the benefits passed on to the customer.
Concluding the session, the panellists reiterated the importance of understanding the standard comprehensively. There are useful publications and reading materials available for guidance in implementing the standard. Engagement across the organisation is crucial, especially with the deal makers and the decision makers, since the responsibility of implementing MFRS 15 does not rest with finance alone. MIA’s Financial Reporting Standards Implementation Committee (FRSIC) is also documenting the implementation issues on MFRS 15 and these will be made available to members for reference in future.

I have a K40 with the Cohesion3D laser board with your rotary attachment and using Lightburn software. The issue I have is when testing the A axis, it will only operate once and I have to reset power to the K40 to move the A axis again.
- I can test once using the Lightburn rotary setup or using the console command (G0 A360 F…). Further commands have no action on the A axis. (swapping connector to Z axis has the same effect)
- I can issue other commands to the X or Y axis before of after testing the A axis and they perform as expected. This includes multiple commands. There does not appear to be an issue with the X or Y axis
- When I command the A axis to rotate 360, it does. When I use the lightburn software setup test button it rotates forward and backward. but only the first time I give it the command either on console of lightburn. If I give one and then the other only the first command is performed.


KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessee quarterback Nathan Peterman will miss at least four weeks after undergoing surgery on his right hand.
Peterman injured his hand Saturday while struggling through his first collegiate start in a 31-17 loss to No. 20 Florida. Peterman went 4 of 11 for 5 yards with two interceptions and one fumble before being replaced late in the first half by junior Justin Worley, who had started Tennessee's first three games.
Peterman's injury solidifies Worley's status as Tennessee's starting quarterback at least for now. Worley is atop Tennessee's depth chart for Saturday's game with South Alabama, while freshmen Riley Ferguson and Joshua Dobbs are listed together on the second team.
"As of right now, Justin Worley is the starter," Tennessee coach Butch Jones said.
Jones said the Vols didn't know exactly when Peterman got hurt during the game and added that the redshirt freshman's removal wasn't injury rela...

We're setting up a very simple teamwork process for one coder, one artist.
- artist provides a 3D file (FBX) to coder
- coder creates a unity project using that file and sends it to artist
- artist will only modify materials for the FBX within the project (adding textures, selecting shaders and tweaking shader properties)
- coder keeps developing the project, writing scripts
- to merge, we just want the artist to send updated materials to coder to integrate
Question: is this feasible, and if so, which files does the artist need to send to the coder, and how can the coder integrate them in the project?
You can get the artist to put the character (or whatever) along with all dependencies into a unity package. Then the coder just needs to swap out the script attached the to model. Alternatively the artist can just send the 3D model and textures and materials and the coder has to change the models. Depending on which task is quicker. You can also use versioning and check out / check in system so that they can both work with the same project folder without interfering with each other but for a 2 person team it's a bit over blown.
In my projects I just do all the code and the artists send me models to integrate and I post web player versions of the game and they send me updated models or more graphics. It's not really complicated.
Certainly feasible, if not highly likely. This is similar to what I do now, and it works very efficiently.

The mayor of Hasselt gave an interview to television channel TVL. A man on a bicycle, who turned out to be drunk, decided to consciously hit the mayor with his bike. “I was left with nothing more than a bruise”, says Vandeput. “The man clearly did not agree with some of the decisions that I made as mayor. The police took the man with them anyway, because he continued to be difficult even after the collision.”

In Article, Roberts's Pen Appeared to Dip South
While it is true that the Civil War is also known as the War Between the States, the Encyclopedia Americana notes that the term is used mainly by southerners. Sam McSeveney, a history professor emeritus at Vanderbilt University who specialized in the Civil War, said that Roberts's choice of words was significant.
"Many people who are sympathetic to the Confederate position are more comfortable with the idea of a 'War Between the States,' " McSeveney explained. "People opposed to the civil rights movement of the 1960s and 1970s would undoubtedly be more comfortable with the words he chose."
Reagan used the phrase "War Between the States" in at least a few speeches he gave in the South. But in the end, someone must have had second thoughts about using it with this more national audience. When the article was published in August 1984 under Reagan's name, it employed the more generally accepted "Civil War" terminology.

Today is the 52nd birthday of Thomas Cech, a biochemist who helped discover catalytic RNA. In the process, Cech and his colleagues overturned conventional wisdom about the interactions between DNA, RNA, and protein enzymes in the evolution and reproduction of life.
Cech wanted to know how the genetic code in DNA is copied to an RNA template--a process called transcription--and how certain parts of the code are spliced out. During an experiment in 1981, Cech and his colleague Arthur Zaug were surprised to learn that protozoan RNA appeared to splice itself without the help of any enzymes. Their announcement in 1982 of the existence of a "ribozyme"--an RNA molecule capable of catalyzing chemical reactions--upset beliefs about the nature of enzymes, but soon other catalytic RNAs were discovered.
The finding bolstered the idea that RNA was the first important biological molecule to arise in the "primordial soup" and to spur the evolution of life. Catalytic RNAs are now being engineered and tested as potential drugs for treating viral infections. Cech received a share of the 1989 Nobel Prize in chemistry. He currently heads a lab at the University of Colorado, Boulder, but was appointed president of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute in Chevy Chase, Maryland this year (ScienceNOW, 24 March), where he will take office on 1 January 2000.

Before poor Paul W.S. Anderson made a fatal misstep with Alien Vs. Predator and was maligned, he made a few really excellent genre flicks back in the mid to late 90’s, one of them being the mostly forgotten and excessively fun Soldier, starring a mostly mute and wholly badass Kurt Russell as a genetically bred super soldier who has fallen on hard times. His name is Todd 3465, and he’s from the last line of soldiers who are in fact real humans, albeit altered. There’s a new program moving in, wherein actual replicants are produced, rendering Todd obsolete. The head of the new outfit is sadistic Colonel Mekum (Jason Isaacs in full evil prick mode), who wants to do away with anything that isn’t state of the art. Todd is thrashed in a one on one smackdown with Mekum’s lead soldier (Jason Scott Lee), and then left to die on a remote planet used only for trash disposal and inhabited by wayward crash survivors who scavenge what they can. Todd is immediately the outsider, an unfeeling asset bred only for combat and alien to human qualities. A few among the group, including their leader Mace (Anderson regular Sean Pertwee) and Jimmy Pig (Michael Chicklis) attempt to connect, but it’s gorgeous Connie Nielsen who finally breaks the ice. He may be conditioned to kill, but he’s still a human man after all, and there’s some base instincts you just can’t ignore. Trouble brews when Mekum shows up again, that bastard. Now he wants to vaporize their planet on the grounds that the refugees are essentially squatting. Undermining him is Todd’s former boss Church (an unusually restrained Gary Busey), an honorable military veteran who’d love to put Mekum six feet under and restore order. Todd must help his newfound friends, fight tooth and nail against replicants and win his superiority back. Russell is a tank in the role, letting both silence and action speak volumes, a one man old school ass kicking hero of the highest order. The world building and outer space effects are incredibly fun, the villains are broadly characterized with the force of a western, and the whole film knows what people want for a good time at the cinema. Oohh and fun fact: this takes place in the same cinematic universe as Blade Runner, and you can listen for the brief tie in reference that only die hards will pick up on. Great stuff.
A thrilling sense of kinetic filmmaking has guided the work of Kathryn Bigelow over the last 25 years, and Point Break is just a go-for-broke action picture, complete with moments of total absurdity, fantastic and unexpected humor, and dead serious thrills. Bigelow’s film, from a clever and exceedingly entertaining screenplay by W. Peter Iliff (Rick King received a story credit), is an incredible piece of vigorous action filmmaking — a heist picture, an undercover policier, a romance, an extreme sports movie that feels ahead of its time in retrospect — the creative team threw a little bit of everything into this film and it’s no surprise that the movie has taken on a massive cult following after a solid but not break-out box office performance. Donald Peterman’s dynamic and muscular cinematography is always bracing and exciting, while Mark Isham’s awesome score swells and builds to some great peaks. Ultimate Patrick Swayze POWER here, Gary Busey steals the entire film, and it goes without saying, Keanu Reeves was just all live-wire terrific here, letting his inner Surfer Dude attitude shine through but also getting a chance to kick some ass when called upon; call it a warm up for his heroics a few years later in the blockbuster action pic Speed. Howard Smith’s editing is fluid and keeps the pace at a fast clip (that backyard chase!) and Bigelow really shined with the action sequences, which have been cribbed from repeatedly throughout the years by various filmmakers. The film was a solid success in the theaters, doing $80 million worldwide on a 50/50 split, but the movie would really cement Bigelow’s action chops, after early efforts like Blue Steel and Near Dark announced a new, distinctive voice, and setting up more ambitious future endeavors like Strange Days, K19: The Widowmaker, and the one-two punch of The Hurt Locker and Zero Dark Thirty. Hell – I’ll even go to bat for The Weight of Water! And it must be said: Jumping out of airplanes with no parachute POWER!

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Republican legislators have pushed a tax relief proposal through the Kansas Legislature.
They are ignoring predictions from Gov. Laura Kelly's fellow Democrats that she will veto it, just as she did in March with a larger plan. Republican leaders in the GOP-controlled Legislature appeared to have the two-thirds majorities necessary in both chambers to override a veto, something they couldn't say with the first tax bill.
The House voted 83-41 late Saturday night to approve a bill designed to provide relief to individuals and businesses that have been paying more in state income taxes because of changes in federal tax laws at the end of 2017. The House's vote came two days after the Senate approved it.
It would provide about $240 million in tax relief over three years.

After selling out every show for the past three years, Newcastle’s biggest and best event, Exhale, is throwing a huge, two-storey party on 9 February to mark their 5th birthday at the city’s musical mecca: World Headquarters.
One of the party’s pioneers, Jonny Dodd, tells me that the basic philosophy has been the same over the last half a decade. ‘We aim to bring an eclectic mix of classic House, Trance, Garage and Ibiza anthems to every night’, he says.
With all those genres, there’s a whole lot of scope, and Exhale’s hardcore fans affectionately place the music under the umbrella term, ‘90s Ibiza Trance’. The skilled hands behind the decks usually start off with tracks at a lower BPM (that’s beat per minute for those unfamiliar with DJ chat), and work their way up through the night to a cathartic explosion of more intense Trance classics.
"We aim to bring an eclectic mix of classic House, Trance, Garage and Ibiza anthems to every night"
Once you’ve attended a few Exhales, you become pretty familiar with the way things work: when you first arrive, you can expect to hear vocal-based, noughties bangers like ‘Fade’ by Solu Music (a crowdpleaser and absolute gem despite the tacky video), and LMC’s ‘Take Me To The Clouds Above’, which blends a Whitney Houston sample with U2’s ‘With or Without You’ (an unlikely pairing, but it actually works).
Closer to 4am, the raving will be well underway with a heavier dose of instrumental Trance, including favourites ‘Lizard’ by Mauro Picotto and Tiësto’s ‘Adagio For Strings’.
While some songs are nearly always played (Faithless’s ‘Insomnia’ being one that makes a regular appearance), Jonny and the team are constantly on the hunt for new music, researching before each show by listening to old mixes and iconic festival and radio sets. ‘There’s 30 year’s worth of classics out there’, says Jonny, ‘so we always seem to finish a show and think, “wow, we didn’t even play that”’.
There’ll be a lot of ground covered at the 5th birthday party, as access to two floors means double the amount of music. Downstairs will be the same as always, with residents Luke Scott and Bubba (Stuart Nurse) playing B2B for five solid hours, and upstairs there’ll be two internationally recognised maestros spinning their favourite records. All-round UK House legend Pete Heller, well-known for his track ‘Big Love’, and Newcastle’s very own Richard Tulip will be bringing something brand new to the Exhale experience.
And even though there’ll be special guests, tickets are still an absolute steal, having started at just a fiver, and now on sale for £8. ‘Going out is so expensive these days,’ says Jonny, ‘we’ve always wanted to counter that by offering a cheap weekend destination’. Thanks to its low prices, Exhale is incredibly popular with students and 18-year-old locals, as well as a bunch of 30–40-year-olds who were there in the glory days of British raves, and are nostalgic for the powerful tones of DJ Taucher’s ‘Ayla’ and Robert Miles’ ‘Children’.
If you’re trying Exhale out for the first time on 9 February, you’ll naturally be familiar with a lot of the music, but Jonny’s picked out three essential tracks you should definitely accustom yourself with in time. ‘I’d go for Double 99 – “RIPGroove (Original Mix)” for Garage, Junior Jack – “See You Dancin (Original Mix)” for House, and York – “On the Beach (CRW Mix) for a flavour of Ibiza”'.
Will Exhale still be keeping 90s House alive and kicking in 5 more years? Most likely, as Jonny tells me that an expansion is possibly on the cards. ‘We’d love to try it out in other cities,’ he says. ‘When you look at the amazing national success of SoulJam, it’s tempting to give it a go’.
If you want over 10 hours of music to get you in the mood, check out the ultimate Exhale playlist that I’ve put together on Spotify.
Tickets for Exhale Newcastle: 5 Years of Exhale are currently on sale, so grab them now before they sell out.

Bengal Kittens Ohio
KotyKatz, LLC cattery was established in the year 2000, after much research into the Bengal cat breed and felines in general. As a breeder, I keep current on the standards of our Bengals through continuing research and by attending TICA and CFA cat shows as often as I can. My original Bengals had 5 generation pedigrees that were filled with many of the older, original Bengals created by the wonderful breed originators Jean Mill (Millwood) and Gene Ducote (Gogees). For me, these original Bengals are constant reminders of how far this breed has advanced over the years. It is absolutely AMAZING!
Although I love ALL cats, I had to pick just one to represent as a breeder. After researching many breeds, the decision to breed Bengals was made and I haven’t looked back. I can’t imagine a more fun loving, interesting breed. I do not exaggerate when I say they make me laugh every day. Our Bengal Kittens are raised in my home with lots of love and attention. I wouldn’t have it any other way.

In recent years, there has been a rapid increase in the literature which discusses new phenomenon associated to social network. One of the well-known phenomenon in this regards is known as 'six degrees of separation' , which implies that one can always keep a communication with each other anywhere within a six-step. A number of experiments has verified this hypothesis, either in the context of offline communication (postal mail), or online communication (email, etc.). In this article, we argue that by introducing this known 'six degrees of separation' into the context of group instability problem, one can find a new type of wisdom in organization. Therefore, we offer a new conjecture, which may be called 'Group stability conjectures based on Graph/Network distance." To our knowledge this conjecture has not been discussed elsewhere, and therefore may be useful for further research, in particular in the area of organization development and group stability studies. The purpose of this article was of course not to draw a conclusive theory, but to suggest further study of this proposed conjecture.

Washington – Christmas came early for journalists this year. Thank you, Tareq and Michaele Salahi, for being the gift that keeps on giving.
The gate-crashers who upstaged President Obama and first lady Michelle Obama at the administration’s first White House state dinner turned out not to be mere garden-variety poseurs. They are world-class poseurs, apparently – dedicated and energetic limelight-seekers who spent the past several years tracing an incandescent arc through high society in the horse-country piedmont west of Washington, leaving a richly marked trail of litigation behind them.
According to The Washington Post, the Salahis have been sued by caterers, chauffeurs, contractors, a fancy hair salon and more than a dozen other parties. Their story seems to be a Gatsbyesque tale of personal reinvention. Tareq imagined himself as a polo-playing aristocrat who hung around with Prince Charles. Michaele attended a reunion of Washington Redskins cheerleaders, although there is no record of her being a member of the squad. And both of them, of course, wanted to be on televisions as stars of a reality show.
It’s not just that they’re such good copy, though. The Christmas gift that I so treasure is being able to think about something so fundamentally unimportant as the antics of the Salahis. Last Christmas, it was not so.
Then, we were staring into the economic abyss. The global financial system had come close to utter collapse, and at year’s end it was far from certain that a series of desperate and unprecedented interventions by the federal government would succeed in turning things around. Real estate prices seemed to have no floor. Credit, a necessary lubricant of the economy, had ceased to flow. There was the very real possibility that what was obviously a severe recession would reach an awful tipping point — that a second Great Depression could take hold.
Today, with unemployment at 10 percent, hardly anyone is thrilled with the state of the economy. But all the depression talk has ended, and the economy is growing again – slowly, yes, but perceptibly. There is widespread consensus that the worst is over.
This turnaround has come at great cost. At least 7 million jobs have been lost, and unemployment may not have peaked. There are whole cities, especially in the Midwest, that were left utterly bereft by the bankruptcy and restructuring of General Motors, once the mightiest auto company in the world. A messy, pork-filled stimulus package has helped balloon the federal budget deficit to record levels. The government and the Federal Reserve have shoveled money into the financial system with a bulldozer, effectively rewarding the irresponsible bankers whose recklessness and greed caused the crisis in the first place. But now, at least, we’re able to think about how to remedy the remedies.
Since last Christmas, our government has begun to tackle huge, structural problems that had long gone unaddressed: health care, climate change and education. To state the obvious, not everyone agrees with Obama’s proposed solutions. But it’s promising that the nation is so passionately engaged in debate about wonkish policy initiatives – public option vs. Medicare buy-in, carbon tax vs. cap-and-trade. This nation is at its best when it’s going somewhere and doing something, not when it’s standing still.
On Christmas Day 2008, U.S. foreign policy was seen as bellicose and dangerous by much of the rest of the world. Today, the United States is celebrated for having rejoined the community of nations by rejecting torture, respecting the Geneva Conventions and embracing international institutions. When Obama went rogue at the Copenhagen summit and cut a side deal, at least he worked in concert with other major powers — China, India, Brazil and South Africa. He didn’t sit home and thumb his nose at the idea of nations working together as stewards of the planet.
The difference a year makes isn’t all about Obama, though. It has become trendy to say that Congress is hopelessly dysfunctional, but the House and Senate did step up to grapple with these big issues. Congressional leaders saw that the safe course – do nothing – was not an option.
Last Christmas our troops were mired in two faraway wars, and this is still true today. Obama’s withdrawal of combat forces from Iraq should be a comfort, especially to overburdened military families. His escalation of the war in Afghanistan, I fear, has the potential to cast a pall over Christmas 2010. When a story like the Salahis comes around next year, I hope we’re able to smile.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi will hold talks on Friday to form a new cabinet to tackle a stuttering economy and other challenges facing his second term after winning a big majority. Official data from the Election Commission showed Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party had won 296 of the 542 seats up for grabs and was ahead in seven more, up from the 282 it won in 2014. The BJP would have the first back-to-back majority in the lower house of parliament for a single party since 1984.
It’s been 73 days since Sarah Huckabee Sanders last held a “daily” White House press briefing. For the most part, she has chosen to bring the Trump administration’s message to Fox News and Fox News only. But on Thursday morning she stepped out of her comfort zone and was quickly reminded what it feels like to be questioned by a real reporter. Sanders’ interview with CNN’s Alisyn Camerota on New Day started out all smiles as the two women exchanged pleasantries. But as soon as the host began to dig in on President Trump’s ultimatum to Democrats in Congress that he will not work with them on infrastructure until they stop investigating him, things went south.Alisyn Camerota Loves Doing Journalism at CNN, After Doing the Opposite at Fox News“Congress say they can do two things at once, the Democrats is Congress say this isn't a problem,” Camerota said. “So is the president saying that he cannot do infrastructure while he's being investigated?” “I think it’s a complete lie that Democrats in Congress think they can do two things at once,” Sanders replied. “So far we haven't seen them do anything. Nancy Pelosi has had the majority in the House for months and is yet to accomplish a single thing. They literally haven’t gotten anything done since she took over.” When Camerota pointed out that since January, the House has passed 248 bills and the Senate has passed 161, Sanders laughed it off as insignificant. “I just want to say, it's the president who is saying that he can't do infrastructure while he's being investigated,” Camerota reiterated. “He is the one who walked out of the meeting. So just so that we're clear, he's saying that bridges are not going to be fixed until he's no longer investigated, is that what we hear from the White House?” Instead of answering that question, Sanders stammered a bit as she once again accused Democrats of being “incapable of doing anything other than investigating this president.”“They spend all of their time attacking him and the fact that they would have a meeting an hour before they are set to arrive at the White House where Nancy Pelosi literally accuses the president of a crime and then wants to walk into his office and sit down as if nothing happened, that's just—that's lunacy,” she continued. “That's not even in the realm of possibility. The president absolutely wants to get infrastructure done, he wants to secure our border, he wants to do things that help our veterans, he wants to improve our education system, he wants to do all of those things but Democrats have been unwilling to work with him.”Fox News' Chris Wallace Shuts Down Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ Claim About Terrorists Crossing BorderLater, after confirming that Trump’s “merit-based” immigration plan will not prioritize DREAMers, Sanders returned to her attacks on Pelosi for suggesting the president may have committed a crime. “That would be like John telling you that he thought you were stealing from the network and then sitting down in the chair next to you and saying, but no big deal, let's just move forward,” she said, referring to Camerota’s co-host John Berman. “John would never accuse me of something like that,” Camerota said with a smile. “I would hope not,” Sanders added.

An American climber who fulfilled his dream of climbing the highest mountains on each of the seven continents died of probable altitude sickness on the way down from Mount Everest, mountaineering officials said. Don Cash became ill at the summit and was treated there by his two Sherpa guides, Pasang Tenje Sherpa, head of Pioneer Adventure, which provided the guides, said Friday. Altitude sickness is caused by low amounts of oxygen at high elevation and can cause headaches, vomiting, shortness of breath and mental confusion.
The 17-year-old suspect told reporters that he was "defending his friend." He's charged with second-degree assault.
Amid the ongoing political crisis turned soap opera sweeping Europe as elections approach to choose delegates to the EU Parliament, French President Emmanuel Macron minced no words about President Trump's former main man Steve Bannon, who showed up in Paris to cheer on Marine Le Pen and her hard-right National Rally party. Macron accused the ubiquitous global strategist-at-large of working with nationalists in “the dismantling of Europe” and being more “intrusive” than the Russians “in financing [and] helping extremist parties. His campaign manager, Stéphane Séjourné, was even more direct: Bannon's help for the controversial Le Pen, he tweeted, “makes you want to throw up.

Facebook has been accused of leaving 'broken children' as collateral damage in the wake of their commercial aims, the child sex abuse inquiry has heard. Barrister William Chapman, representing the victims of abuse at the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse (IICSA), said social media companies were not preventing paedophiles reaching children as it was “contrary to their business model” and that their apps needed to be “fundamentally redesigned”. Police also warned that tech firms were going ahead with plans to encrypt more features "in the certain knowledge" it would lead to more children being abused.
Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said on Saturday that the U.S. decision to deploy more troops to the Middle East in response to the perceived threat from Iran was "extremely dangerous" for peace. The United States said it was sending 1,500 troops to region in what it called an effort to bolster defenses against Tehran, and it accused Iran's Revolutionary Guards of direct responsibility for attacks on tankers this month. quot;The Americans have made such allegations to justify their hostile policies and to raise tensions in the Persian Gulf," Zarif told state news agency IRNA.
Investec Asset Management, Aberdeen Standard Investments and Pictet Asset Management SA are cutting sterling positions or staying on the sidelines as Britain’s political turmoil reignites uncertainty around the nation’s exit from the European Union. With a senior minister resigning to add pressure on Prime Minister Theresa May to abandon her deal with the EU and quit, the risk of a disorderly Brexit is back on the radar. Sterling slid to a four-month low near $1.26 Thursday and is on the longest losing streak on record versus the euro amid concern that May’s successor could take Britain out of the bloc without a deal or call an early election.
A U.N. maritime tribunal ruled Saturday that Russia must immediately release three Ukrainian naval vessels captured by Russia in November and also free the 24 sailors it detained. The International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea issued its order at its Hamburg headquarters following a hearing earlier this month. Russia stayed away from both the hearing and Saturday's session.
In a stunning escalation of the Trump administration's war on the press, the Justice Department has indicted WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange for revealing government secrets under the Espionage Act. The charges invoke broad provisions of the Espionage Act that make it a crime to disclose or retain any defense information knowing it “could be used to injure” the U.S. The act has no exception for reporters or publishers, but prior administrations have balked at invoking the law against journalists for fear of colliding with the First Amendment.
Simulator training remains a "possible option" for Canadian Boeing 737 MAX pilots, but it's too early to say whether it would be mandatory, a Transport Canada official said on Thursday night, further distancing the regulator from previous remarks by the country's transport minister. "It would be premature not seeing what Boeing has fully proposed yet to determine if simulator training will in fact be included," said Nicholas Robinson, the regulator's director general, civil aviation, told reporters on a conference call following a meeting of global regulators in Texas. Canada's Transport Minister Marc Garneau called in April for pilots to received simulator training for Boeing's software fix.
Prominent Trump critic George Conway on Thursday posted a picture of President Trump's $35,000 check to his former lawyer Michael Cohen, along with a quote from Trump's Wednesday press conference: “I don't do cover-ups. Cohen has testified that the check was partial reimbursement for the $130,000 he paid actress Stormy Daniels as hush money to cover up a sexual encounter she says she had with Trump. The money changed hands shortly before the 2016 election and was part of the evidence in Cohen's plea deal with federal prosecutors that resulted in his prison sentence.

Three people were killed in the small town of Golden City, Missouri, officials said, while the midwestern state's capital Jefferson City was struck by what the National Weather Service called a "large and destructive" tornado Wednesday night. The tornado caused significant damage, trapping people in buildings and homes, and knocking down power lines and trees. Rescue workers were checking door-to-door for survivors Thursday, some 20 people were injured and treated at hospitals overnight, and more injuries were expected, officials said.
A student at Oregon State University died on Sunday after falling 100 feet from a scenic lookout on the Oregon coast, authorities said. Michelle Casey, 21, was taking pictures of the popular coastal viewpoint near the city of Manzanita when she lost her balance and slipped off the steep edge, KPTV reported. Her boyfriend told deputies that she landed in a tree, which stopped her from falling into the Pacific Ocean, the sheriff's office said in a statement on Monday.
Global tech firms, including chip suppliers, are cutting ties with China's Huawei Technologies Co Ltd after the U.S. government put the world's largest telecom equipment maker on a trade blacklist citing national security concerns. The United States has effectively banned its companies from doing business with Huawei, exacerbating an ongoing Sino-U.S. trade war. Huawei is allowed to buy U.S. goods until Aug. 19 to maintain existing telecoms networks and provide software updates to its smartphones.
But May's approach of taking decisions in a tight circle left her without allies when the going got rough – both at home and in European capitals. May had been prime minister for 18 months before she allowed her Cabinet to discuss what kind of relationship the U.K. should have with the EU after it had left. This was eight months into the two-year negotiating period, and long after May had laid out a series of contradictory red lines.
Alabama lawmakers abruptly adjourned after one lawmaker called for the censure of another over comments that included calling the president's son "evidently retarded." Republican Rep. Arnold Mooney of Shelby County on Wednesday went to the House microphone to read a letter seeking censure of Rep. John Rogers, a Democrat. Mooney said Rogers brought "shame" on Alabama with comments he made after debate on a proposed abortion ban.

This month Alabama passed a law banning abortions at any time period with no exceptions for rape or incest, only when the mother's health is at risk. Two other states – Ohio and Mississippi – have passed similar legislation, which also do not include exceptions for rape or incest. Georgia passed a bill banning abortions after six weeks and includes the exceptions, but requires an official police report alleging the crimes (research shows 3 out of every 4 sexual assaults are not reported, and out of every 1,000 rapes only five perpetrators are convicted). INTERACTIVE MAP: Where is abortion legal? Debate over the exceptions has dominated headlines and ignited Twitter wars.

Des Moines man to be sentenced for infant child's death
A Des Moines man who pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in the death of his infant son will be sentenced at the Polk County Courthouse on Wednesday.
Drew James Weehler-Smith, 18, pleaded guilty in January to killing his son, Gabriel King McFarland, in April of last year while the two were alone in an apartment that belonged to the child's mother. Weehler-Smith faces a sentence of up to 50 years in prison, the maximum allowed under Iowa law for second-degree murder.
A medical examiner ruled that the infant died of head trauma. Weehler-Smith was arrested after Gabriel's mother, Markeya Atkins, found the infant unresponsive in a chair after she'd left to run errands. When Atkins returned to the apartment, she saw Weehler-Smith driving away without the child.
Atkins put Gabriel up for adoption when he was born but asked for the child to be returned by his Ankeny adoptive parents just weeks before Gabriel's death. The incident resulted in the adoptive parents, Rachel and Heidi McFarland, filing a lawsuit against their attorney, who they claimed botched the adoption proceedings.
As part of a plea agreement, prosecutors will recommend to a judge that Weehler-Smith must serve 17 years of his sentence before being eligible for parole, Polk County Attorney John Sarcone said in January.
The sentencing hearing is scheduled to begin at 8:30 a.m. in front of District Judge Jeffrey Farrell, according to online court records. Weehler-Smith was a student at Des Moines Roosevelt High School before his arrest.

Nick wouldn't get any non-T&F fans interested in the sport, nobody outside of the very inner circle of "runners" knows who he is or gives 2 craps about him. You could put Usain Bolt on Dancing with the Stars or a reality show and it wouldn't get the Millrose Games more viewers.
Wasn't everyone on here just bitching the other day that the TV coverage of Millrose was so awful and that no one's interested in T&F anymore?
Looks like Nick could be the celeb T&F needs to get running back into everyone's living room.
That's a bad thing how?
Where Nick would be the most useful would be as a commentator for T&F.

On Dec. 10, 1946, a rapt audience filled the War Memorial Auditorium and witnessed the debut of the Nashville Symphony. Civic and cultural leader Walter Sharp spearheaded the drive to give the city a symphony orchestra, and William Strickland, also a co-founder, served as its first music director and conductor. On opening night, internationally renowned soprano Helen Jepson sang selections by Mendelssohn, Liszt and Massenet, and the Symphony performed Beethoven’s Symphony No. 7, as well as works by American composers George Whitefield Chadwick and Cecil Effinger. Following the successful performance, Walter and his wife, Huldah, hosted the first of many grand receptions at their estate, Cheekwood. The inaugural concert of the Nashville Symphony was, by all accounts, triumphant and established a history of bringing remarkable performances to Middle Tennessee that has lasted more than 75 years.
