Marmion learning good habits at Pat Lam's flexible Connacht
NewsExpressHindi January 3, 2023 No Comments
FROM CRAIG RONALDSON'S clever chip to Robbie Henshaw's catch, run and pass, there was much to like about Connacht's first try against Munster on New Year's Day.
Source: World Rugby/YouTube
Kieran Marmion was the man to finish it off, and the scrum-half is swift to transfer the praise elsewhere.
"We worked the maul at first and then going into that wind it was obviously going to be pretty hard to move the ball," says the 22-year-old Ireland international.
"We decided to go for that little dink and credit's got to go to Craig for the execution of that. It made the job easy for myself and Robbie."
Ronaldson and Henshaw undoubtedly deserve commendation for their integral roles, but Marmion is downplaying the importance of his own actions. Having completed his pass to out-half Ronaldson, the England native took off on an excellent anticipatory line.
Even before Henshaw had gathered the ball, Marmion had begun his supporting run. This type of reading of the game is a hallmark of the world's best scrum-halves, and a skill Marmion is striving to improve in his game.
"It's something that I do a lot of work on in training," says the Connacht academy graduate. "I think it's about making it into a habit of trying to be on the end of passes. You see in games a lot of times where people could have been in different places and scored.
"Watching that, you're trying to work ways to get on the end of moves and the chances the team are creating."
Those are the kind of habits that Pat Lam and his coaching have been stressing to their players over the course of the past two seasons: every 1% individual gain goes towards making Connacht a better team.
There were more clear signs of their improvement in that victory over Munster, as Connacht confidently managed a 16-7 half-time deficit to win convincingly.
"I think going into the week we knew the weather wasn't going to be too great," says Marmion. "We were obviously pretty restricted in the first half in terms of what we could do. We'd planned for that wind and rain, it's probably the worst out of all the stadiums we play in.

"We tried to keep the ball and play it down in our half a bit, stay as close to them [on the scoreboard] as we could. We probably knew we wouldn't go in at half time ahead of them, but as close as we could be would be great.
"We knew coming out after half time that that we had huge confidence we could close that gap and get ahead of them."
That proved to be the case as Connacht scored two further tries to strengthen their position in the Pro12′s top six, but perhaps most impressive was the latest demonstration of their tactical flexibility.
At times free-flowing and daring in attack in the last 18 months, Lam's side have also shown the ability to play with a game plan involving more focus on the narrow channels.
"I think from the time that I've been here, we've developed into a team that can play in more than one game plan," agrees Marmion. "I think we can adapt pretty well and against different teams there are different opportunities, and the conditions play a part as well.
"It's great for us going out there knowing that we can have the opportunities to beat these teams with different game plans."

The blueprint is likely to be somewhat changed again tomorrow evening, as Lam's side welcome Edinburgh to the Sportsground [KO 19.35]. Whatever plans the Connacht head coach does have, Henshaw and midfield partner Bundee Aki will be important.
Both centres were excellent against Munster last time out, and showed glimpses of connection in their thought processes. Promising signs and exciting for Marmion and the rest of the group.
"I think they both stepped up in that game," says Marmion. "We couldn't move the ball around in that match because of the conditions, so they were both pretty direct. It was really effective.
Confidence continues to be boosted with every home win, as Marmion and his teammates remain focused on maintaining their 'fortress' status in Galway.
After the joy of inter-provincial success against Munster, this fixture against eighth-placed Edinburgh is a return to the bread and butter of their campaign to qualify for next season's Champions Cup.
"It's an important game in our season," outlines Marmion, "probably more important than the Munster game. I think everyone's pretty nailed on and focused on just getting a result and climbing up the table as much as we can."

Despite 22.7% unemployment rate, Rajoy claims progress

Spain's unemployment rate fell sharply to 22.7% in the second quarter, official data showed Thursday, as the Spanish government boasted of creating hundreds of thousands of jobs ahead of an election.
The key measure declined by 1.4 points from 23.78% in the previous quarter, with 5.15 million people unemployed overall — 295,600 fewer than in the first quarter, the National Statistics Institute said in a statement.
"Never in Spain's economic history have so many jobs been created in a single quarter," Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy said in a televised speech after the figures were released.
The unemployment level is still the second-highest in the eurozone after Greece, the starkest sign of the lingering damage from the economic crisis that erupted in 2008 after a building boom went bust.
"There are still many Spanish people and families having a very hard time. I will take care of that," Rajoy added in a Twitter message.

The government says the Spanish economy will create more than 600,000 jobs this year and start to chip away from next year at its debt mountain.
It has forecast the jobless rate to sink to 21.1% in 2015 and dip just below the symbolic 20% level in 2016.
It has raised its economic growth forecast for this year to 3.3% — more than twice the 1.5% average rate forecast by Brussels for the eurozone.
Rajoy's conservative Popular Party is touting the recovery ahead of an election due from November, in which it faces a tough challenge from new anti-austerity parties.
He has warned Spain could tip back into crisis if rival parties force a change of course on the economy after the election.
Rajoy's government imposed tough spending cuts and tax rises from 2012 that it said were necessary to stabilise the public finances. Spain formally exited recession in 2013.

FCP: Why create a professional theatre in residence?
RR: There are many examples of universities across the nation that have adopted the model of a theatre in residence. The premise is simple. The academy should embrace and learn from artists and practitioners, and the students experience professional theatre in an immersive, and experiential environment. This model has proved that skills and competencies are gain first hand. In many ways, it is an apprenticeship style of learning. Furthermore, the state of South Carolina does not have a professional theatre company in residence and it should.
FCP: Why the name Full Circle Productions?
RR: The core ensemble members all have an association with Columbia and USC. After many years of pursuing our individual careers, and for many and diverse reasons, we found ourselves back in Columbia. We had all come Full Circle by happenstance.
FCP: How was your first year as Chair of the Department of Theatre and Dance?
RR: It was quiet a ride! But I still hold tight to the idea that I can serve and make substantial changes for the good of the department, the students we teach, and the Carolina family.
FCP: Why tour The Pavilion and what made you choose this play?
RR: The Pavilion is an important story for our time. It is a reflection on how Time waits for no one, and a cautionary tale that tells us that we much live large for each moment. The past is prologue, the future is now. It is funny, sad, philosophical and charming. These are all great ingredients for a play. By touring theatre we meet and tell our story with a new community at every performance. It is refreshing and exciting. The Pavilion is a perfect story for our company and our mission.
Catch it again on March 23rd and 25th at the Oklahoma City University Black Box Theatre at 8:00 PM!
FCP: Where do you see FCP, USC and live theatre in five years?
RR: Well, USC will be a permanent home for Full Circle Productions. It will offer internships to graduate students, hire professional artists on a living wage, and provide the theatre patrons for Columbia a top quality theatre productions that will provoke change and reflect what it means to live as an American right here, and right now. In five years live theatre will be a cool date and young people will flock to the box office. That is how I imagine the next five years.

What To Do If You're Fully Vaccinated And Feeling Helpless Right Now
Here's how you can still make a difference in the COVID-19 pandemic without sacrificing your mental health.
Julia Ries
On Assignment For HuffPost

You've been vaccinated, but COVID-19 cases are on the rise in many areas. Now what?
If you've been taking the coronavirus pandemic seriously — you've worn your mask, social distanced and gotten fully vaccinated — you might be feeling anxious and angry at the current situation.
It's understandable: You did your part, and yet here we are. States with low vaccination rates, including Florida, Mississippi and Louisiana, are seeing scary new surges and unvaccinated people who pick up the delta variant are increasingly ending up in the hospital and being put on ventilators. Cases are high across the country, health care workers are being pushed to the brink ― again ― and even some people who are vaccinated are experiencing breakthrough illness (thankfully, though, the shots still do an excellent job at preventing most infections, hospitalization and death).
What else can you do at this point to help end the pandemic? Is there even a point? How do you still try to be responsible without sacrificing your mental health?
If you're feeling extremely helpless right now, experts offer some advice on how you can still move the needle in the pandemic while protecting your sanity.
If you engage with an unvaccinated person, approach the conversation with empathy and compassion
The thought of trying to convince an unvaccinated family member, friend or neighbor to get the shots might feel like a futile (and not to mention infuriating) task at this point. People who have delayed getting a vaccine might seem as though they've made up their mind, but there has been an uptick in vaccinations across the country due to the spread of the delta variant. A lot of the people who've held off are finally realizing just how serious this all is; it's possible that you can help reiterate that message.
"Encouraging and facilitating every single person to get vaccinated is one of the most valuable anti-COVID actions one can possible take," said Sten Vermund, an infectious disease epidemiologist with Yale School of Public Health.
Many unvaccinated people actually aren't stubborn anti-vaxxers, but rather victims of harmful misinformation campaigns or people genuinely worried about the safety of the shots. Instead of blaming, lecturing and shaming unvaccinated people, have a conversation in an open, nonjudgmental and safe way.
"Help answer questions, and help direct people to trusted guides and the facts," said Lucy McBride, a practicing internal medicine physician in Washington, D.C.
As we come out of this highly charged, emotional time, it's easy to feel anxious and angry when you learn someone has chosen not to get vaccinated. But McBride said you'll be able to make the greatest impact if you engage people with empathy and compassion.
"If you can try to understand and listen more and shout less, you might actually change a heart or a mind," she said.

Adjusting your behavior based on transmission in your community is vital to curbing the pandemic — even if you've already received your shots.
Behave based on local transmission
You should also keep an eye on what's going on with COVID in your community. When case rates are low and vaccination rates are high, know that you — and even those around you who aren't vaccinated — are extremely well-protected. Look at Vermont, for example, where about 84% of residents 12 and older have received at least their first dose: Cases are low and unvaccinated kids only rarely get infected.
On the flip side, if you're in an area where COVID is surging and sending more and more people to the ICU, you may want to consider wearing a mask in indoor, unventilated situations where vaccinated and unvaccinated people are mixing. The risk of getting infected and passing the virus onto others, while still rare if you're vaccinated, increases in these high-risk environments in surging states.
"Masks are a well-documented way of reducing the risk of droplet and aerosol transmission," Vermund said.
Set firm boundaries and plan vaxxed-only events
If you want to play hardball, you can consider socializing exclusively with people who are vaccinated. Make vaccinations a requirement for your get-togethers. Not only are you unlikely to get seriously affected by COVID, but your social circles are also less likely to contract the virus and transmit it to others in their communities.
"The likelihood of any kind of serious event emerging from such an activity is vanishingly small," said Vermund, who noted that this approach might be somewhat controversial and unpleasant — but potentially impactful.
If you do host an event where vaccinated and unvaccinated people are mixing in an area with high transmission, it would be prudent to ask people to mask up.

Maskless interactions are safest with vaccinated people, and there's nothing wrong with limiting your interactions to only those who have gotten the shots.
Share stories about your own experience
Telling your story can be a powerful way to encourage people in your community to get vaccinated. Open up about how the pandemic has impacted your family or uprooted your life, and explain how the vaccine is our ticket back to all the things we love — work, play and school. This can be on social media, in conversations with loved ones or through local campaigns or advocacy groups.
"Be local educators," Vermund said. "Tell your story, share your experience."
The unfortunate truth about the pandemic is that things change, and we have to adjust to that change at a moment's notice. What we know now about COVID-19 is different from what we knew back in April 2020, and will be different from what we understand six months from now.
The virus evolves, as do the treatment options, restrictions and recommendations. Perhaps the most impactful thing vaccinated people can do is follow the science — stay up to date with the latest learnings and behave accordingly.
Experts are still learning about COVID-19. The information in this story is what was known or available as of publication, but guidance can change as scientists discover more about the virus. Please check the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for the most updated recommendations.

Source (not specified)
Presidential Speeches | Andrew Johnson Presidency
Whereas the President of the United States, on the 8th day of December, A. D. 1863, and on the 26th day of March, A. D. 1864, did, with the object to suppress the existing rebellion, to induce all persons to return to their loyalty, and to restore the authority of the United States, issue proclamations offering amnesty and pardon to certain persons who had, directly or by implication, participated in the said rebellion; and
Whereas many persons who had so engaged in said rebellion have, since the issuance of said proclamations, failed or neglected to take the benefits offered thereby; and
Whereas many persons who have been justly deprived of all claim to amnesty and pardon thereunder by reason of their participation, directly or by implication, in said rebellion and continued hostility to the Government of the United States since the date of said proclamations now desire to apply for and obtain amnesty and pardon.
To the end, therefore, that the authority of the Government of the United States may be restored and that peace, order, and freedom may be established, I, Andrew Johnson, President of the United States, do proclaim and declare that I hereby grant to all persons who have, directly or indirectly, participated in the existing rebellion, except as hereinafter excepted, amnesty and pardon, with restoration of all rights of property, except as to slaves and except in cases where legal proceedings under the laws of the United States providing for the confiscation of property of persons engaged in rebellion have been instituted; but upon the condition, nevertheless, that every such person shall take and subscribe the following oath (or affirmation) and thenceforward keep and maintain said oath inviolate, and which oath shall be registered for permanent preservation and shall be of the tenor and effect following, to wit:
I,_________,do solemnly swear (or affirm, in presence of Almighty God, that I will henceforth faithfully support, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States and the Union of the States thereunder, and that I will in like manner abide by and faithfully support all laws and proclamations which have been made during the existing rebellion with reference to the emancipation of slaves. So help me God.
The following classes of persons are excepted from the benefits of this proclamation:
First. All who are or shall have been pretended civil or diplomatic officers or otherwise domestic or foreign agents of the pretended Confederate government.

Twelfth. All persons who, at the time when they seek to obtain the benefits hereof by taking the oath herein prescribed, are in military, naval, or civil confinement or custody, or under bonds of the civil, military, or naval authorities or agents of the United States as prisoners of war, or persons detained for offenses of any kind, either before or after conviction.
Thirteenth. All persons who have voluntarily participated in said rebellion and the estimated value of whose taxable property is over $20,000.
Fourteenth. All persons who have taken the oath of amnesty as prescribed in the President's proclamation of December 8, A. D. 1863, or an oath of allegiance to the Government of the United States since the date of said proclamation and who have not thenceforward kept and maintained the same inviolate.
Provided, That special application may be made to the President for pardon by any person belonging to the excepted classes, and such clemency will be liberally extended as may be consistent with the facts of the case and the peace and dignity of the United States.
The Secretary of State will establish rules and regulations for administering and recording the said amnesty oath, so as to insure its benefit to the people and guard the Government against fraud.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington, the 29th day of May, A. D. 1865, and of the Independence of the United States the eighty-ninth.

BRITAIN'S NICHE SECTORS
Jan 20, 2018 | Niche Sectors, Sectors
Britain is a world-leading player in several "slivers" of manufacturing, such as luxury sailboats, including Spirit Yachts in Ipswich (pictured)
By Peter Marsh
The UK is home to many relatively small manufacturers, who focus on tightly constrained sectors that require much technical capability and have an accent on 'bespoke' production. It is, for instance, the world's centre for making Formula 1 racing cars – engineering-intensive vehicles made in tiny volumes and where almost every product is different.
Many of the country's most successful quoted engineering businesses focus on product niches, or slivers, where the total market is quite small but where customers are spread globally. Examples include Renishaw, Rotork, Spirax Sarco and Spectris – leaders respectively in measuring probes, actuation equipment for oil wells, steam control systems and laboratory instruments.
Britain is a leader in many other slivers, such as high-performance sailing yachts where notable companies include Southampton-based Spirit and Discovery in Ipswich; specialised underwater vehicles produced by businesses such as M-Subs in Plymouth; and 'artisanal artefacts' – customised items used as theatre sets or architectural models. Some top names here include Stage One, Plunge Creations, Footprint Scenery and Amalgam.
Where it pays to be niche
As to why the UK has a strong role in such micro industries, David Jackson, James Walker's finance director, said being in a business where success depends on technical skills rather than costs fits with being based in a country with relatively high
Plunge Creations makes customised props for use in theatre sets
manufacturing expenses. In Britain he said, "it pays to be in a niche field, or in a highly automated, mass-production environment, as otherwise the products will be more efficiently produced elsewhere".
Another explanation may be rooted in culture. Making things to order and with a lot of attention to the needs of individuals is in line with the thinking of many British engineers, who say they like "tinkering" at a specific technical problem until it is solved, before moving on to the next one, using skills more akin to a project manager than a mass market specialist. This mindset is not exclusive to UK engineering; a similar way of thinking is evident among the elite tailors of Savile Row.
A third factor may be the relative problems in the UK in attracting sufficient capital to build up big businesses with vast number of potential customers. Manufacturers may well find it easier to concentrate on micro-sectors where the limited market pushes down development costs.
SEALING SYSTEMS – JAMES WALKER
Anyone keen to study a company with a diverse range of products geared to specific needs might want to look at James Walker, which sells its specialised sealing systems in 500,000 varieties.
Some 80 per cent of Woking-based James Walker's 2016/17 revenues of £178m were tailored to fit the requirements of a diverse customer base: makers of machines and other products for use in applications ranging from semiconductors to food. About 80 per cent of its sales go to customers outside the UK; half its 2,000-strong workforce is in Britain, where the company has seven factories, the biggest being in Cockermouth, Cumbria. James Walker is among a range of manufacturers in Britain that are specialists in product niches. These sectors have few competitors. They require prowess in design and service as well as manufacturing and engineering.

LEISURE MARINE – FAIRLINE
Luxury boatmaker Fairline Yachts has announced that it is to commence manufacturing at a new base on Southampton Water, on the south coast of England. Since it was first established, the company has made its vessels at a marina base, also its HQ, in Oundle, Northamptonshire.
It will continue to operate and specialise in the production boats up to 60ft. Boats over 60ft will be built at the new site in Hythe with testing, commissioning and customer handover also taking place there. Fairline is reported to be investing £30m over four years in the new facility, which has large vessel deep water berths and over 200,000sq ft (18,000sq m) of undercover manufacturing space. It is expected that the new plant will initially create up to 200 jobs in the Southampton area. Fairline is expecting to begin boat building in the late summer of 2018.
"Our new site, to be named Fairline Marine Park, will boast state-of-the-art facilities, giving us room to expand and create bigger boats, whilst making the most of the existing boat building skills in the location," said Russell Currie, managing director of Fairline Yachts.
"By increasing our manufacturing capabilities across both Northampton and Southampton, we are future-proofing Fairline Yachts and retaining our commitment of investing in British boat building."
HYBRID AIR VEHICLES
In an effort to continue the UK's impressive historic record in aviation technology, a company in Bedfordshire has sky-high ambitions for a new family of vehicles that is a mix of aircraft and helium balloon.
Hybrid Air Vehicles makes the largest aircraft in the world at its base in Cardington, Bedfordshire
Hybrid Air Vehicles has been helped by a £100m contract from the US Defense Department that enabled it to build prototypes. By combining the two air transportation concepts it reckons its machines will be able to carry large loads from place to place without a need for the normal airport infrastructure.
The vehicles will be able to stay airborne for weeks at a time to do jobs in such as military surveillance and search and rescue. With 80 employees, the company is backed by £37m in funding and has its eye on a stockmarket listing, probably on London's Aim market for small businesses. Hybrid says full production will start in 2020. After this it hopes gradually to build up manufacturing to about 12 a year.
Each vehicle is more than 90m in length – 20m longer than an Airbus A380. The company has a large supply chain -comprising some 1,000 companies, 80 per cent of them in the UK .
MICRO NUCLEAR REACTORS – TOKAMAK ENERGY
Trying to replicate the conditions in the interior of the Sun – while remaining at a terrestrial level – sounds like an engineering challenge too far.
But it is one that David Kingham says is practicable and likely, he says, to lead to a new family of products: room-sized fusion reactors to create a new source of green energy. Under Kingham's vision, factories around the world could be making the reactors in the 2030s for perhaps $1bn each.
Kingham is vice-chairman and co-founder of Tokamak Energy, a 45-strong company headquartered near Oxford. The machines it is developing are referred to as 'squashed up' tokamaks. These prototypes are miniature versions of the large vessels built in a few government laboratories around the world to create power using nuclear fusion, the process that powers the Sun.
One of the leading centres for the research is the Joint European Torus at Culham, close to Tokamak Energy's headquarters and from which many of its ideas have been derived. The design of the tokamaks involves combining deuterium and tritium – isotopes of hydrogen – under high pressures and at up to 100 million degrees Celsius. To generate the heat requires a current of 20 million amps.
Working machines will require novel magnets plus ways to feed the exotic isotopes to the equipment. Tokamak Energy has received investments of £22m so far; much more will be needed to complete the programme.
"It's a high-risk project but nothing about the engineering makes it impossible," said Kingham.
ROBOTIC HANDLING EQUIPMENT – CLANSMAN DYNAMICS
At Clansman Dynamics, a Glasgow-based leader in making large robotic handlers for industries such as forging, the concept of a 'standard product' is barely recognised. Virtually every machine is tailored to suit specific purchasers.
Clansman's giant machines sell for £100,000 to £900,000. Some 90 percent of the company's output – running at about £10m a year – is exported; the European Union and China are among its biggest markets.
The company – which was started in 1994 – has expanded strongly in recent years. It has 46 employees, up from 30 in 2009 when the company became wholly owned by its employees. Dick Philbrick, one of the founders, is now the chairman of a trust that owns the majority of the shares on behalf of workers, who also own shares individually.
Philbrick explained that the structure fits with the special requirements of Clansman. Manufacturing handlers of the type the company specialises in require more than the normal liaison with customers to ensure their needs are catered for; to cope with unforeseen changes in design that occur late in a project, for instance.
"We often need a fitter or a software engineer to jump on a plane and to be away until the [customer's] problem is solved. Clansman has that spirit and we believe that employee ownership is an important part of it."
SUPER JET ENGINES – REACTION ENGINES
"A Kitty Hawk moment for the 21st century"
Reaction Engines Ltd has started construction of a new UK test site in Westcott, Buckinghamshire, to test critical subsystems. It intends to test a fully integrated engine core in 2020.
In September 2017 Reaction Engines Inc., its U.S. subsidiary, announced that it had received a contract from the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to conduct high-temperature airflow testing in the United States of a Reaction Engines precooler test article called HTX. The precooler heat exchanger is a key component of the company's revolutionary SABRE air-breathing rocket engine and has the potential to enable other precooled propulsion systems. The primary HTX test objective is to validate precooler performance under the high-temperatu

re airflow conditions expected during high-speed flights up to Mach 5.
SABRE engines are capable of Mach 5.4 in air-breathing mode, and Mach 25 in rocket mode for space flight; by contrast, Jet engines are only capable of powering a vehicle up to Mach 3, three times the speed of sound.
Reaction Engines has secured over £50m in public funding, including £42m from the UK Space Agency and the balance from ESA. BAE Systems owns a 20% investment in the company.
It described this year's developments as a crucial step on the way towards a SABRE-powered flight test vehicle, which will be "a veritable Kitty Hawk moment for the 21st century".
GRIFFON HOVERWORK
Griffon Hoverwork craft show their versatility
Adrian Went muses on the "peculiar disadvantages of being close to a monopoly". Griffon Hoverwork – the company of which he is managing director – is one of a tiny group of manufacturers that make hovercraft. Supported by an air cushion, hovercraft can function on land and sea. During talks with the Indian government – which had wanted to buy 60 Griffon machines for use in river areas – administrators had insisted that they evaluate competing bids to ensure value for money.
Griffon Hoverwork craft show their versatility Eventually – when the government realised no other company could offer equivalent products – the discussions broke down. This cost the company a lot of money, Went recalled.
Griffon – with a staff of 70 and based in Southampton – is likely this year to have sales of about £7m, much less than the £35m recorded in 2013. "This is a cyclical business with a lumpy order pattern," said Went.
"We see sales picking up due to the many inherent advantages of the machines." The main purchasers for the machines are government agencies. Applications are in fields such as military campaigns, controlling sea/land borders to check for illegal immigrants and rescuing people in regions hit by floods or hurricanes. Individual products require much intricate engineering, with batch sizes for orders often being as low as one or two.
Amalgam – beyond Morph
Britain is a world leader in the niche of "artisanal artefacts" industry – intricate items made to one-off designs for sectors from theatres and theme parks to architecture and manufacturing. One of the best-known companies is Bristol-based Amalgam, which started out in 1984 in making scale models of buildings for architects.
'Artisanal Artefact' maker Amalgam Models of Bristol has worked with Dyson, BBC TV and with Aardman Animation
After this, said Mike Harvey, director, the company showed "a willingness to take on pretty much any challenge in the broad field of bespoke making". The company's core role, he added, is to "problem solve, develop ideas and produce bespoke solutions".
Customers have included the Dyson appliance company, animation specialist Aardman and BBC TV. To make its products, Amalgam has become adept at quick-turnaround design and fabrication using tools such as CNC machining, 3D printing, computerised design and vacuum and resin casting.
It has built up expertise in a variety of metals, composites and plastics. "As a company we come from a 'making' background," said Harvey. "Alll our design is driven from a practical viewpoint – we will always consider the practicalities of producing the item as a primary consideration rather than an afterthought." With 35 staff, Amalgam is looking for bigger premises, said Harvey, as it is "bursting out of the doors".
BOLA MANUFACTURING BOWLS LIKE A PRO
What do you do if you are world-class with a bat and you need some practice against the hostile bowling of a fired-up Aussie, in preparation for an Ashes Test match? The world's leading cricket authorities believe the answer may be found tucked away in a small street off Bristol's city centre.
Bola Manufacturing Ltd's latest machine, the TrueMan, features an animated LED outline image of a bowler running up to the crease, putting his arm back and then delivering a ball.
Bola's TrueMan bowling machine's animated bowler image has been welcomed by leading coaches across the world. The ECB has bought a supply for the County cricket teams in England and Wales.
Mark Alleyne, the MCC's head coach, has welcomed Bola's TrueMan and its LED screen for the important visual cues the image gives the batsman. And it's not just about fast bowling; the machines can make a ball spin and pitch off the ground as viciously as any in the world.
It truly provides a realistic experience. Bola Manufacturing's premises in Bristol may be modest but it's the world leader in the design, manufacture and delivery of bowling machines. Founded in 1982 by current MD Nye Williams' father, it now makes 450-500 units a year of its main model, the Professional bowling machine; a "couple of hundred" Junior machines, which are intended for lighter use; and has recently supplied 20 TrueMan machines, its latest model, to the ECB (English Cricket Board), for County grounds.

From easy rider to revolutionary
Browsing the bursting bookshelves at Bangalore's bookshop, Blossoms, I found myself hoping for a small miracle: that from the piles of tempting books, some priceless one that could not be denied would waft its way towards me. The miracle happened, in a manner of speaking: my hand fell on The Motorcycle Diaries of Ernesto Che Guevara and I knew I had a winner. These notes of an early journey across Latin America by the young medical student Ernesto — he would get the typical Argentinean nickname Che later — were not meant for publication. It would have been a pity if the notes had remained only a sheaf of typewritten pages, as they were till the 1980s: the Diaries is a fundamental text that provides not only a lyrical, entertaining and insightful account of Latin America in the early 1950s but is also a record of the inward journey of arguably the most romantic of 20 century icons, the guerrilla doctor whose trademark beret, long hair, beard and leather jacket have become synonymous with revolution.
The journey begins innocently enough: jaded with "medical schools, hospitals and exams", the 23-year-old Ernesto (or Che) and the older, out-of-work leprosy doctor Alberto Granado decide to hit the long road on Granado's 1939 500cc Norton bike, dubbed La Poderosa II (The Mighty One). Che's parents worry that he is yet to get his medical degree and he is asthmatic (the Diaries contain sentences like "The next day was uneventful but asthmatic…") but of course there is no stopping him. Any young man who has set off on a long journey searching for his guiding star in life will recognise the sentiments in the early part of the Diaries... the rush of the road, the dusty miles flying by, the thoughtful quiet evenings in strange places, the exchanging of confidences, the magic of the unpredictable encounter... Che's words capture typical youthful yearnings of the footloose: "Distant countries, heroic deeds and beautiful women spun around and around in our turbulent imaginations." And when he and Alberto stare out at "the immense sea, full of white-flecked and green reflections", each far away with his own dreams, two stowaways between places as evocative as Valparaiso and Antofagasta, it's only natural that he should write: "There we understood that our vocation, our true vocation, was to move for eternity along the roads and seas of the world. Always curious, looking into everything that came before our eyes, sniffing out each corner but only ever faintly — not setting down roots in any land or staying long enough to see the substratum of things; the outer limits would suffice."
The journey takes the two travellers from Argentina to Chile and then up to Peru, Venezuela and Columbia through mountains, deserts and rain forests. The narrative is not always intense; in fact for the most part it is racy and light-hearted, generously sprinkled with political incorrectness. Che alternates between being a political thinker and a poet and, when he is neither he is just a young man having fun on the road; the two hitch-hikers are not above playing confidence tricks on strangers for a free meal, drinks and rooms.
As Alberto, who died recently in Cuba, would recall later, it was fortuitous that La Poderosa did not prove mighty enough; after a series of accidents and mechanical collapses, the bike had to be left in Chile and the knights of the road suddenly became two grimy, hungry hitch-hikers who continued their journey by truck, bus, steamship and raft. This threw them into direct contact with the people, brought them close up with poverty and misery. What could have just another "coming of age" journey before the inevitable retreat into bourgeois comfort turned out to be the political awakening of the man who would play a critical role in Cuba's revolution and in the Congo and would ultimately die trying to bring about a revolution in Bolivia, dreaming of the unchaining of all Latin America.
In Valparaiso, as they talk to swarms of beggars huddling under dark staircases Che writes: "...we plumb the city's depths, the miasmas draw us in. Our distended nostrils inhale the poverty with sadistic intensity." In the dying eyes of an asthmatic, poor old woman who can no longer earn her living with dignity as a waitress, Che "comprehends the profound tragedy circumscribing the life of the proletariat the world over." And then, on the way to the massive, exploitative, copper mine at Chuquicamata — a symbol of "gringo" imperialism — his conscience is jolted by the sight of a persecuted Chilean communist couple: "The couple, numb with cold, huddling against each other in the desert night, were a living representation of the proletariat in any part of the world." The Indians of Peru evoke another political reaction from Che: "...these people who watch us walk through the streets of the town are a defeated race. Their stares are tame, almost fearful, and completely indifferent to the outside world. Some give the impression that they go on living only because it's a habit they cannot shake."
On his 24th birthday — "the cusp of that transcendental quarter century, silver wedding of a life" — Che finds himself in an Amazonian leper colony. Drunk, or as he says "piscoed" on the Peruvian drink pisco, he defines his vision that the division of Latin America into "unstable and illusory nations is completely fictional" and all the people from Mexico to the Magellan Straits constitute a "single mestizo race." When the two doctors finally leave on a raft down the river, the leprosy patients serenade them in a ghostly scene against the jungle, lamps reflecting in the river, an accordion player without fingers plays the instrument with little sticks tied to his wrist as he accompanies a blind singer.
It is no surprise that Che, having come so close to the misery of so many, has little doubt "that when the great guiding spirit cleaves humanity into two antagonistic halves, I would be with the people. I know this, I see it printed in the night sky that I, eclectic dissembler of doctrine and psychoanalyst of dogma, howling like one possessed, will assault the barricades or the trenches, will take my bloodstained weapon and, consumed with fury, slaughter any enemy who falls into my hands... I feel my nostrils dilate, savouring the acrid smell of gunpowder and blood, the enemy's death; I steel my body, ready to do battle, and prepare myself to be a sacred space within which the bestial howl of the triumphant proletariat can resound with new energy and new hope."
So he wrote, so he lived and so eventually he died, blessed that life did not permit enough time for his ideals to corrode.

Behind the Fast Food Strikes
In These Times has published the first investigative report of the nationwide fast-food worker organizing campaign known as Fight for 15. Since late 2012 fast-food workers have staged day-long strikes in cities across the country four times, with a fifth walkout planned for December 2013. Reporter Arun Gupta examines the roots of the campaign, uncovers the central role played by the Service Employees International Union, and reveals the union's detailed plan for trying to pressure the fast-food giants to raise wages and allow workers to form unions.
Even more importantly, says Gupta, "Workers and organizers involved in the campaign are asking if Fight for 15 is about organizing workers into a long-term movement or a 'march on the media.' More than 20 workers and organizers who talked to In These Times say they support the organizing drive, but are troubled by what they say is a lack of respect for workers, resistance to worker control, a rubberstamp decision-making process, and the overall direction of the campaign. Time and again they described how the media focus undermines the actual organizing in fast-food shops and discourages worker involvement."
Steven Greenhouse of the New York Times calls the In These Times report a "Good inside, in-depth look at the Fast Food-Fight for Fifteen Movement."
ARUN GUPTA, arun.indypendent at gmail.com, @arunindy
Founder of the co-founder of the Occupied Wall Street Journal and The Indypendent, Gupta wrote the piece "Fight For 15 Confidential."
TRISH KAHLE, trish.kahle at gmail.com
Kahle (pronounced Kaj-luh) is a member of the Working Organizing Committee of Chicago and a health-food store employee. She recently wrote the piece "Beyond Fast Food Strikes" and said today: "Low-wage workers organizing in the Fight for 15 need to come to grips with the past failures of SEIU, but people who dismiss this movement are discounting the transformative effect it has had on workers, and the potential of workers to take this campaign further than anyone could have imagined. Organized labor has been in the tank for years, and those who write off this campaign are only helping to ensure it will be that much harder to revive in the future."

I think the Ka-Bar USN Mk1 can be filed under budget gear review because at the $60.00 on the dot that I paid for it, shipped, it's a great value. If you're going to buy one good outdoors knife, and need to limit the number of digits ahead of the decimal at two, then the Mk1 should make the list of considerations. It's not that "budget gear" can't be a good value or the other way around, it's just that like most things the market can be broken into tiers. Schrade has some nice offerings for less money with what they claim to be 1095 steel and many companies are delivering offshore products with serviceable steel for less. The Ka-Bar might be more, or less, "budget gear" to some folks than to others, but regardless of how you categorize it, it represents a step up in all features from most knives coming in at anywhere from half as much to equal money. On top of that, even amongst outdoor knives, there are subcategories and the particular features of the Mk1 set it apart from nearly all the competition.
It's US made and in that category, at this price point, the blade steels are often less desirable than the tried and true 1095 carbon steel found in the Mk1. In fact, finishing your own knife from blade blanks is about the only route I can think of to get into better steel at this price.
The blade is full flat ground and relatively thin stock. Going back to the blade blank comment, my Enzo Trapper was O1 at about $50 but I sold it because I just don't like the Scandi grind. And, Enzo offers an FFG version which I would probably still own if I had gone that route instead. Other classic military style knives from Ka-Bar and Ontario can be had for the same or less money, but they typically use a somewhat low saber grind. It makes for a strong blade and is certainly functional. A full flat grind is not an upgrade from any other grind, it's just different and if your knife spends as much or more time skinning deer as it does processing wood then it's a design that might interest you. I know I get the appeal of thick knives that you can smash with a club to fell giant redwoods and go straight caveman with. They're big and heavy and awesome. They will also do anything you want them to as long as they are sharp and pointy. In the end, it's a matter of personal preference and often driven by the tasks you most need the knife to perform. However, it seems that if you are in fact looking for a FFG blade, the field gets just that much narrower.
Another angle the Mk1 has going, classic or traditional styling. There might be some modern styled blades out there which might functionally compete, but if you're looking for something with classic personality a stacked leather handle immediately comes to mind with other natural materials like antler or bone or wood.
The sheath isn't a throw away. All too often knives stay in a lower price category because virtually nothing was spent on manufacturing or designing the sheath. And this happens for a variety of reasons. Each user has his or her own needs and preferences for sheaths and it becomes difficult for the manufacturer to cater to everyone. Pretty much everyone needs some way to cover the blade and carry the knife, so there will always be customers who are indifferent about the sheath and anything will do. A well designed and made sheath isn't cheap and some outfits offer their sheaths separately. To me, that actually makes a lot of sense. From the company's perspective the sheath design is a steep uphill battle and anything other than a well made unit simply doesn't make sense for the brand. I don't specifically like the Ka-Bar sheath on either model of the Mk1, but they did find a good balance. The leather sheath provided with the version I got is simple, well made, fully functional, and it has a really great smell. Don't judge, it does. Still, it makes more sense in my opinion to sell sheaths separately - regardless of how good or bad one is - because I'd rather not pay for something I will probably replace.
What would I do differently? Maybe some minor appearance tweaks, but truthfully, I think the Ka-bar Mk1 is done right. I understand the little swedge but it's something I always talk about - it's uncomfortable for thumb press cutting and this is one of the most common ways a knife is used. I like the way it looks, I'm not sure it has a real world function. I might blend the handle into the cross guard a little more rather than leaving a step, only because it's just another edge (or ledge) that can abrade your skin, though only in certain holds. The pommel is kind of huge, but it's neither good nor bad, I just think it would look better if it were a little smaller or maybe less circular. You know, the bottom line is, I like it. In fact, I would like to pose the question to anyone reading; what knife really competes with this one? Apples to apples. When you consider the steel, the grind, the size, the place of manufacture and the price, what else is there? Post your ideas in the comments.
I want to address the stick tang if I may. I know a lot of you already know that there is virtually no real world issue with stick tangs compared to full tangs. There has been some knowledge conveniently forgotten over the years by people who insist that a knife must be full tang. Steel used to be forged with a hammer and anvil and no one had any interest in a full tang blade of any kind. For starters they wouldn't have wanted to waste the steel on it. Swords put under tremendous stresses were stick tang, same with knives, meat cleavers, and on and on. Strength wasn't an issue. Parts of the blade can be heat treated differently to address the stresses each section might endure and in fact many forged blades would likely bend or flex significantly long before they would break if they would break at all. Furthermore, depending on the balance desired for the tool or weapon, a stick tang offers an advantage. Handles for stick tang blades are simpler to replace for someone without sophisticated tools and the list of advantages goes on and on. All too often a stick tang is looked at as some kind of step down from a full tang but about all it really amounts to, particularly with modern, very well made steels, is marketing. Full tang knives are simply easier and cheaper to make when your steel arrives in sheets that you stamp out with a massive press. The handles are simpler and cheaper to assemble and to form. Less skill, less money, cheaper. These are all advantages for the manufacturer and are easy to sell if they can convince the customer that it's "better" than the alternative. In fact, if you think about how a blade is stamped out, Ka-Bar is wasting that bit of steel on either side of the tang because it wouldn't cost them any more to stamp a full handle section than it costs them to stamp a narrow tang. There are infinitely more interesting ways to assemble a stick tang knife, to include stacked leather, than there are with scales on a full tang. And because of the weight issue, "full" tangs are frequently lightened with cutouts which produce the same "weak points" as any other design. In short, there are no real world disadvantages to stick tang knives and in many instances there are important advantages. Full tang knives are the result of modern manufacturing practices and little else.
Well, you may say, there are historical examples of full tang knives. As near as I can tell they were often kitchen or utility knives, consumable at a time when everyone lived by their tools, and therefore quickest and easiest to produce. I think what it boils down to though, is decoration. As I mentioned, a stick tang provides a medium for decoration. The maker can stack up all manner of materials and fasten ornate pommels for an attractive piece of art and weaponry. And, if the pommel was a popular device for bludgeoning people with, and I think it was, then it makes sense to use a stick tang.
How did Ka-Bar do with this knife though? Well, heavy whittling sessions to dull the edge show the kind of edge retention one would expect from 1095 and sharpening meets expectations as well. I know that everyone seems to like watching knives baton wood but seriously, what a knife will do well is immediately apparent in its design and geometry. A knife is not an axe, a small knife is not a big knife, a thin knife is not a thick knife - you get the idea. Cutting mediums like wood and cardboard create baseline performance results for edge retention and through sharpening the metaphorical picture usually becomes clear. Fit and finish is spot on as you can clearly tell in the images. The bottom line? US made 1095, with classic design at $60.00. What else compares? Put your choice for a similar alternative in the comments. Thanks for reading.

I can appreciate that and I feel comfortable telling others to stop by and see what's going on over there. A big thanks to BPKT!

There are so many different ways to see the world (and so many different places to see, for that matter). That's the very beauty of travelling. Perhaps you've always been the type of person to jet off on a 2-week holiday to Ibiza or some all-inclusive resort on the coast of Turkey. Such trips are relaxing and laid-back, but there are so many other ways to explore and see the world. Perhaps you're searching for something this year that will fill you with a little more adventure and excitement. Perhaps you don't want to relax on your holiday – perhaps you want an adrenaline-fuelled trip.
Of course, there are many different ways to go on an adventure too. If you're searching for a trip that will change your worldview in some way then there are hundreds and thousands of different places you could visit. Perhaps you don't have a single destination in mind, and that's okay. You don't have to visit one place; the best way to see the world is to explore as much of it as possible. That's how you truly experience all the unbelievable places and cultures that are lying out there in wait for you. If you're ready to go on a trip that will completely transform your worldview then here are a few suggestions.
The capital city of Northern Island is a stunning place to visit. You could even take one of these no fly cruises straight from Dover and turn your trip into a real experience so that you could see other cities and countries on your holiday. But let's take things one destination at a time. When travelling to Belfast, you need a plan of action regarding all the things you want to see because it's a city of real depth. There are so many potential things to do that it's hard to know how you should begin. You should start by visiting the incredible Titanic Belfast museum. Not only is it an absolutely spectacular piece of architecture to admire from the outside but it also provides an insightful look into a tragic but crucial piece of history; it tells the story of everything from the construction of the Titanic in Belfast to its catastrophic end.
That's not all Belfast has to offer, however. In terms of modern day culture, you might be more familiar with some of the areas surrounding the city than you currently realise. There's a lot of natural beauty surrounding Belfast, and that's exactly why the team behind Game of Thrones decided to film parts of their episodes in numerous locations around the city. Dark Hedges is one of the most popular filming locations. It's a road that's lined with hauntingly beautiful trees which hang menacingly above those who drive through. Of course, you'll recognise the location if you're a fan of the show, as you will with other locations such as the Giant's Causeway and Cushendun Caves. It's well worth the visit if you're a fan of that show. But Belfast is a city with something to offer to any traveller, as has been made more than clear by this point.
I'd suggest just one town or city, but there's so much to explore in New Zealand that it'd be hard to limit your visit to just one place. Plus, it's not an excessively large island. You could find an adventure travel company to help give you a tour of all the best sights. And that's the best way to sum up a visit to New Zealand: it's an adventure. Whilst New Zealand has a lot of modern culture, it holds tightly to the roots of the ancient Maori tribe. This culture and folklore spans a century and provides a fascinating story that explains the country you see before you today. You should definitely explore the grassy battlegrounds of Ruapekapeka; it's strange that such stunning natural beauty was the scene for such brutal ancient battles. You should also find time to see the beautiful ancient settlements atop the volcanic North Island. This country truly is breathtaking, and there's a lot to take in.
Australia is such an incredible country that you really shouldn't limit your visit to just one city. If you're travelling such a long way then you need to make the most of this opportunity. But if you're looking for a place to begin then Sydney is certainly a fantastic destination to explore first. It might be the typical tourist spot, but there's a reason for that. It's a beautiful place, even if you're a solo traveller. You should start off by visiting the iconic Sydney Opera House, of course. It's not only beautiful in terms of its outward appearance but in terms of the incredible performances that take place inside; you should definitely experience a theatrical or musical show at the Opera House whilst you're in the city. You should try out one of the day cruises whilst you're in Sydney too; most of them will take you to see fascinating natural sights, such as nearby uninhabited islands. There's so much natural and manmade beauty in Australia. Sydney is only the tip of the iceberg.
There's far more to England than the big cities. Even if you're English, you might not have fully explored all the beautiful places that this country has to offer. The Lake District is one such place that you may have overlooked. It's one of the most picturesque places in all of England. In fact, it might even be a viable contender for one of the world's most picturesque places. Fantastic scenery stretches as far as the eye can see. Wonderful green pastures, thick woodlands, and lakes with crystal clear water. It's like the setting of a fantasy story. You should go camping, and turn your experience at the Lake District into an explorer's trip. Hike across the hills, and soak in the natural beauty for yourself.

Q: Acces many classes with useRef I want to access all classes what will be rendered with map() function.
I have the next situation:

{arr.map((i, k) => {
return <div ref={car} className={`car-nr-${i.id}`} key={k}}>

})}

Now i tried to access my ref.
const floor = useRef(null)
car.current.style.transform =rotateY(10deg);
But this does not work.The styles are applying only for last element from my arr. How to access all elements an to apply rotateusing useRef?

A: ref also accepts a callback function which you could use to store all of your refs inside an array:
// Init the array
myRefs = [];

// A new div has been created, add it to the elements array
addRef = (element) => {
    this.myRefs.push(element);
}

X. Dolan's Series 'The Night Where Laurier Gaudreault Woke Up' Trailer
"Time helps and heals our mistakes." Club illico in Quebec has debuted the first official trailer for a series titled The Night Where Laurier Gaudreault Woke Up, also known as The Night Logan Woke Up. If you've been wondering when we'll see the next, new film from the acclaimed Quebecois filmmaker Xavier Dolan - this is his latest project. But it's a series, not a new film this time, which is what so many directors are doing right now in these strange times for the film industry. This one follows the story of three friends whose lives are shattered after one commits rape. One October night in 1991, the destinies of Mireille, her brother Julien and their best friend Laurier are forever changed by a terrible incident and their paths go their separate ways. Both families are broken. Nothing will ever be the same again… This stars Patrick Hivon, Magalie Lépine Blondeau, Éric Bruneau, Julianne Côté, Julie LeBreton, as well as Dolan. A very powerful first look, with Dolan's usual intense melodrama and dark scenes. Take a closer look below.
First trailer for Xavier Dolan's series The Night Where Laurier Gaudreault Woke Up, from YouTube:
In the early 1990's, Mimi and her brother Julian are best friends with Logan. They are an inseparable trio. The boys are on the baseball team and just won the regional championship and Mimi dreams of a life in the theatre. Who knows what the future holds? But in October 1991, their friendship is broken by a terrible incident and they're forced to take separate roads. The two families are shattered. Nothing will ever be the same. 30 years later, Mimi is now a thanatologist and travels home to take care of her mother's funeral as requested in her will. She is reunited with her estranged brothers, who were left behind decades ago… Secrets & spite buried deep in the past soon resurface, sending them on an unstoppable pursuit of reconciliation.
The Night Where Laurier Gaudreault Woke Up, also known as La nuit où Laurier Gaudreault s'est réveillé in French and alternatively The Night Logan Woke Up (worldwide English version), is a mini-series both written and directed by acclaimed Quebecois filmmaker Xavier Dolan, director of the films I Killed My Mother, Heartbeats, Laurence Anyways, Tom at the Farm, Mommy, It's Only the End of the World, The Death and Life of John F. Donovan, and Matthias & Maxime previously. Produced by Xavier Dolan, Nancy Grant, and Jasmyrh Lemoine. Executive produced by Harry Grivakis and Javi Hernandez. The series will be streaming soon on the channel Club illico in Quebec, Canada, but no US release date is set yet. Stay tuned.

Prez Akufo-Addo Inaugurates Foreign Ministry's Economic, Trade & Investment Bureau
The President of Republic, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, on Thursday, 31st August, 2017, launched the Economic, Trade and Investment Bureau of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, an initiative aimed at positioning the Ministry as a strategic partner and player in the pursuit of government's vision of a Ghana Beyond Aid.
According to President Akufo-Addo, several examples abound all over the world of how advanced economies have leveraged effectively the tools of foreign policy to secure the well-being of their peoples.
This, he said, has been done with the aim of increasing trade, foreign direct investments, tourism, technical cooperation, education, health, agriculture, and the transfer of technology.
The Economic, Trade and Investment Bureau (ECTIB) of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the President noted, "is, indeed, a welcome and timely addition to help facilitate further investments, domestic and foreign, into Ghana."
With the Akufo-Addo government focussed on the structural transformation of the Ghanaian economy from being a mere producer and exporter of raw materials to a value-added, industrialised one, President Akufo-Addo noted that "our nation's foreign policy, and interventions on the domestic front, must be understood as being two sides of the same coin."
By inaugurating formally ECTIB, President Akufo-Addo noted that "the Ministry has signalled to other Ministries, Departments and Agencies, and the private sector, that it is committed to deepening its involvement in the development of our country. It is my expectation, therefore, that we will work together to build on the foundation that has been laid today through regular and meaningful interaction between all the Ministries concerned, as well as the private sector."
With trade facilitation increasingly becoming a valuable tool in integrating economies into global value chains, creating wealth and employment in many countries, the President indicated that Ghana needs to improve customs function to support targeted trade facilitation, and promote intra-regional trade through the implementation of ECOWAS Protocols and Continental Trade Policies.
To this end, Government, he added, has put in place measures as from tomorrow, 1st September, 2017, to start the single window project.
"It would entail a paperless clearing process that should provide a platform for an integrated clearance process to minimise the human factor as much as possible, and reduce processing time for trade documents. Importers should now spend a maximum of four (4) hours in clearing their goods from the nation's ports," he assured.
In acknowledging the substantial contribution to our balance of payments, employment, national income and production by tourism, President Akufo-Addo noted one of the most important goals of his government is to optimise the socio-economic growth of the country through tourism-related activities.
"The construction of a new terminal at the Kotoka International Airport is intended to strengthen the tourist infrastructure to permit an increase in the volume of foreign tourists," he added.
The President was proud of the sense of purpose and enterprise which key stakeholders in the Trade, Investment and Tourism sectors are exhibiting in order to come closer together to open new possibilities for greater cooperation.
"This Stakeholders' Conference should be held regularly to provide you with the platform to assess progress made, and to develop new strategies, ones that will focus on achieving the target of making Ghana the preferred investment destination in Africa, with the most business-friendly economy," he said.
The President continued, "Our goal must remain constant – a Ghana Beyond Aid, that is a Ghana standing on its own feet, exploiting its own resources according to its own programme, a Ghana freed from a mindset of aid, dependence, charity and handouts. That is the best way we can fulfil the dreams and aspirations of the founding fathers of our nation, whose toil and sacrifice have brought us our beloved, free Ghana."

Vikings Terminate Contracts of Joseph and Rhodes; 'Will Remain in Communication' During Free Agency
Craig Peters
EAGAN, Minn. — The Minnesota Vikings on Friday terminated the contracts of veteran defensive tackle Linval Joseph and cornerback Xavier Rhodes.
The announcement occurred a few days before the new league year is set to open at 3 p.m. (CT) on March 18 and ahead of the "legal tampering" period that starts Monday.
Joseph, 31, and Rhodes, 29, will be able to see what other teams are offering before free agency opens Wednesday.
There is still a possibility that either or both could re-sign with Minnesota, a potential option referenced by Vikings General Manager Rick Spielman and Head Coach Mike Zimmer in statements.
"Both Linval and Xavier have personified what it means to be a Minnesota Viking since joining our organization, providing incredible leadership on the field, in the locker room and within the community," Spielman said. "We are all grateful for their hard work and all they've done to help build our culture here in Minnesota. This decision comes now to allow Linval and Xavier to enter free agency prior to the start of the new league year. We are sincerely appreciative of their contributions and commitment and will remain in communication as all parties navigate free agency moving forward."
Zimmer added: "Xavier and Linval were key parts of building this team and establishing the Vikings defense the way we wanted. They're pros and made everyone around them better. I wish them the best, and I know Rick and the personnel staff will stay in communication with them during free agency."
Joseph was a key addition to the Vikings through free agency in 2014, Head Coach Mike Zimmer's first season at the helm. He started all 88 regular-season games he played for Minnesota and proved to be a formidable force in improving the Vikings run defense under Zimmer.
Joseph recorded 303 tackles (league stats) from 2015-19, the second-most in the NFL among defensive tackles during that span.

In 2016, he became just the fifth different Vikings defensive tackle to record at least 100 tackles and 4.0 sacks in a season, earning his first of two trips to the Pro Bowl. Joseph recorded 15 of his 24 career sacks with the Vikings. He celebrated them by tossing an imaginary baseball in the air, swinging for the fences and blowing kisses to the crowd.
Joseph played his first four pro seasons with the New York Giants as a second-round pick and helped Big Blue win Super Bowl XLVI. He wanted to do the same for the Purple, and the team nearly did so in 2017 after advancing to the NFC Championship Game thanks to the NFL's top-ranked defense in points and yards allowed.
The most-beloved play of Joseph's tenure with the Vikings is his 64-yard return of a fumble for a touchdown at Philadelphia in 2018. It was the third-longest return of a fumble by a defensive tackle in Vikings history.
Born in the U.S. Virgin Islands, Joseph grew up in Orlando, Florida. He experienced bullying during his youth, which prompted his hard work to stop the harmful activity and lift up others who have been hurt by it.
Rhodes joined the Vikings in 2013 as one of three first-round selections along with Sharrif Floyd and Cordarrelle Patterson. The pick used to select Rhodes was acquired from Seattle in a trade for Percy Harvin.
In his rookie season, Rhodes started six of 13 games played and set a Vikings record for first-year players with 23 passes defensed. He moved into a full-time starting role under Zimmer and helped transform a defense that had ranked at or near the bottom of multiple categories in 2013.

Over the past six seasons, Rhodes started 91 of 96 possible regular-season games. He set a career high with five interceptions in 2016, including one that he returned 100 yards for a touchdown against Arizona. It was one of two picks that day.
Rhodes earned his first of two consecutive Pro Bowls that season, and in 2017, he was named First-Team All-Pro at cornerback and Second-Team All-Pro at defensive back by the Associated Press.
The native of Miami, Florida, has totaled 10 interceptions, along with 13 tackles for loss, showing a willingness to help in run support throughout his career. Team stats have credited him with 96 passes defensed.
Rhodes also has been active in the Twin Cities community, delivering cartloads of toys and gifts to the University of Minnesota Masonic Children's Hospital during the holidays and frequently supporting Boys & Girls Clubs.


J&J hikes list prices on approximately 12 drugs by an average of 4.2%.
Many pharmaceutical companies have raised prices since the beginning of 2019. By January 2nd, prices on 250 prescription drugs had been hiked. That number nearly doubled by January 10, reaching 490, according to Rx Savings.
Johnson & Johnson has pushed the total over 500 with price increases on approximately two dozen of its drugs. According to the company, the average increase in the list prices for these drugs is 4.2%, but the overall net price paid by patients will actually decline, due to rebates and discounts offered by payers. J&J spokesman Ernie Knewitz said no other prices hikes are planned by the company in 2019.
Included in the list of drugs with higher prices are top-selling products Stelara (a psoriasis treatment), Zytiga (a prostate cancer drug) and Xarelto (a blood thinner).
Drug prices in the United States are higher than in many countries where governments control costs either directly or indirectly. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has proposed policy changes designed to reduce drug prices and ensure that patients receive more of the discounts negotiated by health insurers. It does not grant direct authority to government health agencies to negotiate prices and would not have any impact in the short term.
On the same day that J&J announced the price hikes, Democrats in Congress introduced a new bill intended to reduce the cost of prescription drugs for American consumers.

Q: ¿Cuál es la diferencia entre usar module.exports y exports en node.js? tengo esta duda, ya que a pesar de que leído y buscado información aún no me queda totalmente claro. Según lo poco que entendí hasta ahora es que exports es como una propieda de module, vi que si uno hace un console.log(module) exports es una propiedad de este, pero sinceramente no entiendo en que casos usar una forma y la otra. Toda esta duda me surgió con el siguiente problema. Tengo un manejador de rutas en node.js así:

const express = require('express');
const app = express();
app.use(express.json());
app.use(express.urlencoded({ extended: true }));
const router = express.Router();
const Users = require('../models/users.js');
const middlewareCheckToken = require('./middleware.js').checkToken;
const server = require('../server.js');
const bcrypt = require('bcrypt'); // para encryptar la contraseña
const moment = require('moment'); // librería para crear fechas
const jwt = require('jwt-simple'); // librería para crear token

// router.use(function timeLog(req, res,next) {
//   console.log('Funcion de la rutaaaaaa');
//   next();
// });

const createToken = (user) => { //Función para crear el Token del usuario
 let payload = {
  userId: user.id_usuario,
  createdAt: moment().unix(),
  expiresAt: moment().add(1,'day').unix()
 }
 return {token: jwt.encode(payload, process.env.TOKEN_KEY),
  expires_in: payload.expiresAt
 };
}

router.get('/hola', async (req, res) => {
 try {
  const users = await Users.getAll();
  res.send(users);

 }catch(e){
  res.send('Ocurrio un error: '+e);
 }

});

router.post('/signin', async (req, res) => {
 // console.log('Entró a la petición SIGNIN.');
 // console.log('Cuerpo de la petición:', req.body);
 //req.body.password = bcrypt.hashSync(req.body.password, 10);
 // console.log('--------------------');
 console.log('contrasena:'+req.body.pass)
 const salt = bcrypt.genSaltSync();
 req.body.pass = bcrypt.hashSync(req.body.pass,salt);
 console.log('PASS ENCRIPTADA:'+req.body.pass);

 try{
  const result = await Users.registerUser(req.body);
  const lastUserInserted = await Users.getLastIdInserted();
  //console.log('Ultimo user inserteado:',lastUserInserted[0]);
  //console.log('id',lastUserInserted[0])
  // console.log('Resultado final: ',result);
  const infoToken = createToken(lastUserInserted[0]);
  res.status(200).json({
   user: {
    name: lastUserInserted[0].nombres,
    lastName: lastUserInserted[0].apellidos,
    email: lastUserInserted[0].correo,
    access_token: infoToken.token,
    expires_in: infoToken.expires_in

   }
  });
 }catch(error){
  res.send('Ocurrió un Error al Insertar Usuario '+error);
  console.log('Ocurrió un Error al Insertar Usuario '+error);
 }
});

router.post('/entry', async (req, res) => {
 try{
  console.log('Clave --->'+req.body.pass);
  const infoUser = await Users.getByEmail(req.body.email);
  if( infoUser == 0){
   res.status(200).json({
    error: 'Error, el correo no se encuentra registrado',
    email: 'correo incorrect'
   });
  }else{
   console.log('Hash ---->'+infoUser[0].clave)
   console.log('Clave --->'+req.body.pass);
   const equals = bcrypt.compareSync(req.body.pass, infoUser[0].clave);
   console.log('equals: '+equals)
   if(!equals){
    res.status(200).json({
     error: 'Error, clave incorrecta',
     pass: 'pass incorrect'
    });
   }else{
    const infoToken = createToken(infoUser[0]);
    res.status(200).json({
     user: {
      name: infoUser[0].nombres,
      lastName: infoUser[0].apellidos,
      email: infoUser[0].correo,
      access_token: infoToken.token,
      expires_in: infoToken.expires_in
     }
    });
   }
  }
 }catch(error){
  res.send('Ocurrió un Error verificando el email:   '+error.message);
  console.log('Ocurrió un Error verificando el email:   '+error.message);
 }

 // console.log('Entró a la petición.');
 // console.log('Parámetros: ',req.body);
 // //req.body.password = bcrypt.hashSync(req.body.password, 10);
 // try{
 //  const result = await Users.insert(req.body);
 //  res.json(result)
 // }catch(e){
 //  res.send('Ocurrió un Error al Insertar Usuario'+e);
 //  console.log('Ocurrió un Error al Insertar Usuario'+e);
 // }
});

router.use(middlewareCheckToken);

router.get('/getUser', (req, res) => {
 Users.getById(req.query.userId)
  .then( rows => {
   res.json(rows);
  } )
  .catch( err => console.log(err) );
})

// router.get('/', async (req, res) => {
//  try {
//   const users = await Users.getAll();
//   res.send(users);

//  }catch(e){
//   res.send('Ocurrio un error: '+e);
//  }

// });

module.exports = router

Necesitaba usar la función createToken en un modelo para crear el token y guardarlo en la base de datos, así que quería exportar esa función, intenté hacer esto:  module.exports = { router, createToken: createToken} pero me muestra este error:

Mientras que cuándo lo coloco así: module.exports = router;
exports = { createToken: createToken};NO me muestra ningún error, así que por eso tengo la duda. En una página si vi que existe una leve diferencia, pero sinceramente no la entendí. Si alguien pudiera aclarármela de la forma mas simple posible estaría enormemente agradecido. Gracias de antemano. Saludos!

READY OR NOT MOVIE REVIEW
The guys from Radio Silence (you horror movie nerds know who I'm talking about) bring us this horror-comedy that has built up an awful lot of anticipation. Is it because it looks like a bloody version of Clue? Is it because we coulda sworn that was Margot Robbie in it (it's Samara Weaving)? Whatever your reasons, this story about the new bride joining an extremely wealthy family who is chosen by (maybe) dark forces to be hunted down to the death by the family on her wedding night, on the whole, delivered the fun. Listen to Chris, Patience, Beau, and a new addition to the OOU review crew, Mindy, tell you all about it.
