Actor Chris Noth says sexual assault claims against him 'categorically false'

Sex and the City actor Chris Noth denied sexual assault accusations reported by the Hollywood Reporter on Thursday, saying his encounters with two women in 2004 and 2015 were consensual.
Noth plays the romantic partner Mr Big, or Big, in the HBO television series and its sequel And Just Like That.
On Thursday exercise bike company Peloton removed a social media ad it had released earlier this week featuring Noth's character.
It said it was previously unaware of the accusations against Noth, and said that "every sexual assault accusation must be taken seriously".
Noth issued his statement in response to the story in which two women, using pseudonyms, described sexual incidents with him in Los Angeles and New York in 2004 and 2015.
"The accusations against me made by individuals I met years, even decades, ago are categorically false. These stories could've been from 30 years ago or 30 days ago. No always means no. That is a line I did not cross. The encounters were consensual," he said.
Kevin Spacey's accuser 'must stand behind charges publicly', says judge
The man was given 10 days to amend his complaint and include his name.
"It's difficult not to question the timing of these stories coming out. I don't know for certain why they are surfacing now, but I do know this: I did not assault these women."
Both women told the Hollywood Reporter that Noth's return to the Sex and the City franchise had triggered memories of their experiences with him years ago.
Reuters could not reach the two women for comment.
One, using the name Zoe, said she was 22 when she met Noth while working for a company in 2004 in which celebrities had business. She said he invited her to the pool at his apartment building and later kissed her and had sex with her against her will.
The other woman, using the name Lily, was a server at a New York nightclub where Noth asked her on a date in 2015. She said she later went with him to his apartment where they had sex, but she left feeling "totally violated".
Neither encounter was reported to police at the time.
Noth, 67, is best known for playing the on and off romantic interest of Sarah Jessica Parker's writer character Carrie Bradshaw in the Sex and the City TV series and movie.
In And Just Like That, which premiered on HBO Max last week, the first episode finds Mr Big happily married to Bradshaw but dying of a heart attack while exercising on a Peloton bike.
Many men in entertainment, politics and business have been accused of sexual misconduct in recent years following the rise of the #MeToo movement in 2017.

Hello and welcome to Stormont today. Fred Goodwin is stripped of his

knighthood, but keeps his pension pot of �12 million. It's unlikely
he'll get much sympathy. Here on the hill, MLAs concentrate on the
young, youth unemployment an the eternal catch 22. A particular
problem faced by young people is in sufficient experience and it's
difficult to get such experience without having a job. There's a
danger of young people being lost to long-term unemployment. And grab
a box of tissues, as MLAs reveal their tearful secrets. People don't
realise that behind every hard- nosed politician, there's a person
who is soft about something and certainly sad songs really do get
me. With me throughout, Kula Yusuma, Concerns for a lost generation of
young people deprived of the opportunity to join the workforce
has become a major political issue, not just here, but also throughout
Britain. With me now is Kula Yusuma. It is difficult in this climate but
there's a loft young people facing unemployment potentially for a few
years to come. There is. It's nearly one fifth of 16 to 24-year-
olds find themselves unemployed and not in training on education. It's
in the a straightforward as saying let's get them jobs. There are a
group of young people who need a lot of training and support to find,
to get the skills to get into the work place. You're right, the
economic downturn, you see, seeing statistics, in Spain it's as much
as 50% of young people are unemployed. This is a global issue
we have to address properly. What do you think is the answer then?
Even this phrase NEETs, not in education and training, has
negative connotations. Yeah absolutely. Because we like to
label people, because we can put them in a box. That's what I mean
about things being complicated. You have a group of young people,
several thousand young people who left school with no qualifications,
without any skills to take them into a work place. They're barely
able to read and write. We need to support them. That's what
organisations like Include Youth are doing. We need to give them
proper financial support to be able to progress up the ladder. At the
other end you have graduates coming out with very good degrees and no
jobs. In those cases we need to get them, again into the work place and
help employers give them a chance to take them in and hopefully, we
can see these young people go through. But there's a lot of work
to be done. It's great that the Assembly's talking about it. We
need to see some action. Stay with us. Now, young people were very
much on the agenda today with questions to both the employment
and learning and the Education Ministers. But first, you might
remember two weeks ago, the Alliance Party's Judith Cochrane
told the Assembly how tempted she was to kiss John O'Dowd. Well,
today, it was her colleague Chris Lyttle who seemed keen to start a
little bromance with the minister. Thank you Mr Deputy Speaker. My
colleague Judith Cochrane threatened to kiss the minister for
the start of progress in regards to nursery provision. If he could sort
out the need for new build skills I maybe come down there and kiss
himself -- him myself as well. Can I ask the minister with regards to
communication with the schools, can I ask the minister how exactly he's
going to commune the deadline and time scales for this plan with the
schools who've been waiting for these new buildings for years?
will have to tell my wife there is a House where I can get a kiss in,
so there is. Last week the minister told education boards he was
unhappy with an audit of schools they'd carried out. He sent it back.
Today, members wanted to know more. Due to the sensitivity of the
publication of the audit, what implications do you see for schools
within north Belfast? Well, I understand there is some
sensitivity around the publication of the audit. Rather -- whether
it's north Belfast or any other constituency, the sensitivity of
the information, most of the information will be in the public
domain. I am bringing the information together, so I am as a
minister, have a clear picture of our schools across the area. This
is not the end game in relation to these aud its. The media should not
be using them as a league table or what mapping out the destiny for
schools. There may well be schools that are clearly identified as
having such problems that they are unsustainable into the future. If
that is the case, I have a duty to ask the managing authorities what
plans are in place to secure the education of the young people at
those schools. But I think in mat jort of case what's we will see is
a position where schools need further support and we'll ask what
further support are you giving those schools? How are we assisting
schools to work out of their current financial or educational
underattainment. We're entering the next stage of viability audits.
This is not the final destination. These reports should not be used as
a league table or speculate them in any way that would damage a school.
Onto the employment and learning minister and the issue of
unemployment among young people, clearly one of the most pressing
matters facing his department. Deputy Speaker, members have tabled
five questions all in the theme of youth unemployment and one on
general unemployment. With permission I will address youth
unemployment as a group and will see additional time in that regard.
The increase in youth claimant unemployment, those aged 24 and
under, between November 2007 and November 2011, for Northern Ireland
was 155% compared to the overall UK rise of 97%. While the rate of
youth unemployment may be marginally lower in Northern
Ireland at 18.4% compared to 21.1% to the UK as a whole, it
constitutes a major challenge. There are around 20,000 young
people who are unemployed here. Youth unemployment brings its own
challenges. Young people risk being denied the opportunity to acquire
the skills. A particular problem is insufficient experience to compete
for jobs and it's difficult to get such experience without having a
job. There's a danger of young people being lost to long-term
unemployment. This is an international issue and many
governments have made targeted interventions N Great Britain the
Government introduce aid youth contract. This initiative will
invest 940 million in new measures over three years to help young
progress in the labour market. It provides for advisors, 100,000 work
placements over three years, a new wage incentive to encourage jobs
and a new target for NEETs. In addition to youth contract measures
Wales has put in place the jobs growth Wales programme a �75
million scheme designed to create 4,000 jobs a year for young people.
Scotland has in place the Scotland scheme whereby organisations are
offered a grant of up to �6,000 for each job created. The scheme will
create 2,000 jobs in the next three years and represents additional
investment of �12.4 million. My department has a range of measures
to help the unemployed to find work. More needs to be done. Therefore I
have circulated to my executive colleagues a set of proposals to
help young people and to address the threats to the future of our
economy if we do not take effective action now. The executive should
shortly consider the options and it is for the minister of finance to
consider the issue of funding in the first instance. I will make a
full statement to the Assembly when a package of measures has been
agreed. This youth contract that the minister referred to there,
what do we need to do here, because as I understand it, the departments,
it's up to them how they spend the money. They don't necessarily have
to put it into youth employment. hope to goodness they do put it
into youth employment. Our understanding is that Stephen Farry
has bid for a proportion to come to Northern Ireland. It has to go into
programmes and processs to get young people, a range of young
people into employment. The one thing that he didn't mention and I
hope he will mention is how we give young people, there are a group of
young people working incredibly hard to get into training and
employment, but on, are on pre- vocational programmes. They're not
given a penny by the state. Why as their friends in tech, in colleges,
within so-called recognised training organisations get a
training allowance. One thing he has to do is recognise the work
that so many young people are doing. I'm hoping that some of this youth
contract money can be spent on giving young people a training
allowance to help them build the skill that's they need to get into
the work place. The Health Minister has announced what he's called a
full and rigorous investigation into the sued moan as infections
which claimed the -- pseudo moan yaz infections which claimed the
lives of four babies. Edwin Poots told the Assembly that the actions
of trust officials need to be rigorously examined. I must ensure
the review is thorough and rigorous and makes recommendations on
immediate action that's we need to take. I want an internal report by
the end of March so that urgent actions can be taken. He will be
aware that there have been calls for a public inquiry, particularly
from the parents of one of the children, one of the babies who
very sadly died. He's opted for an independent investigation, could he
tell the House why he's opted for an investigation rather than a full
blown public inquiry? In terms of public inquiries, there has been
calls from at least one of the families for a public inquiry by
some members of this house and indeed some people in the press and
I realise that there is a huge degree of public concern at this
time and people want answers. I believe an independent
investigation and review will provide the urgent answers that I
require. As I already stated, I've asked the chief executive of the
RQIA to assist me in a full, rigorous, independent investigation
into these incidents. A public inquiry in and of itself under the
inquiries act 2005 would not be the quickest or most effective way of
actually getting the answers. it was what everyone was talking
about here on the Hill yesterday, would Tom Elliott add insult to
injury and replace David McNarry on the education committee with his
Strangford colleague Mike Nesbitt? The Speaker made the announcement
to the House. Order. Members order. I would like first of all to inform
members that I have been notified by the nominating officer of the
Ulster Unionist Party Mr Tom Elliott. Mr David McNarry has been
replaced as deputy chairperson of the committee for education. Mr
Elliot has now nominated Mr Mike Nesbitt to be deputy chairperson of
the committee for education and Mr Mike Nesbitt has accepted the
appointment. A note from our producer, please be
more careful with what you do with your papers and microphone. Earlier,
I spoke to the new deputy chair, Mike Nesbitt. Well, I'm sorry about
the circumstances which have led to the appointment, but I'm very
pleased to be on the education committee. I think education and
enterprise would have been my two picks, my passions. I'm very much
looking forward to working with Joanne Dobson and the rest of the
committee. David McNarry talked about two agendas in the Ulster
Unionist Party last night. Which do you fit into? I didn't hear what he
said. All I'm focused on is reading my brief for the education
committee which meets tomorrow morning at 10.30. A lot of viewers
will be parents of school children. A lot of your viewers will be
teachers. I don't think they care about the internal maccinations of
the party. They care about the future of the education of their
children. There's not much more important than that in what we do.
Surely you care about what happens in the party. I do. A lot of what
we do is internal. I'm not going to wash our dirty linen in public. I'm
focused on my role and getting myself up to speed on the actual
they've covered so far and what they're covering tomorrow. You'll
be aware that Stormont and beyond is awash with rumours, do you see
yourself in some future role as leader of the Ulster Unionist
Party? If you look at the clippings, you'll see that I have said
publicly and unequivocally, I will never, ever challenge Tom Elliott's
leadership. But if he was to step aside, would
you put your name forward? If the building was to collapse, would I
still want to be an MLA, who knows. What happens now with the party?
Obviously, basil McCrae and Danny Kennedy gave a news conference this
afternoon, how do you reassure supporters you're on track going
forward? Last night I was at the division Alanual general meeting of
Fermanagh. There were about 160 people there. They're totally
united. I was at a party assembly group meeting this week, totally
united. I was in east Belfast last week, totally united. Are you sure
there's an issue here? Are you sure it isn't just to some extent a
media invention? I'm very happy. I'm very confident that the Ulster
Unionist Party is moving in the right direction. My focus isn't so
much on the party, it's on what the people who are paying my salary
elected me to do. As of tomorrow that is to do with education policy.
Are you supportive of Tom Elliott's action against David McNarry
considering he's your colleague in Strangford. It's not a question of
whether he's my colleague in Strangford. The leader has taken
action, we all in the Assembly group support the leader. You don't
regret to see him go? I told you that I regretted the circumstances
under which I come to be the vie chair marn of the education
committee. That's what I'm focused on. I'm happy to continue talking
about that. In terms of anything else, I understand as a journalist
you're going to poke around and see if you can get me so say something,
if there is dirty linen, I'm not Conall McDevitt com and affable
enough MLA you might think, but he seemed to get under the skin of the
Social Development Minister day during a debate on pensions. Nelson
McCausland was summing up at the end of a debate proposing the
second stage of the Pensions Bill which would keep us in line with
the rest of the UK when he picked on the SDLP member. I think that is
indeed the right and the responsible way to take this
forward. Could I actually just say in his case I do not commend
irresponsibility and financial and fiscal incompetence from people you
cannot work out... Can I make two point. If he wanted to speak on the
matter, he might have been in the House. He could not even be
bothered to be here to ask the question or make an intervention.
The key point is and maybe he could tell me where he is going to
conjure up �700 million from? A quick answer will do. Health or
education? Which are you going to cut? I thank the Minister for
giving way. The neighbour is McDevitt, minister. Committee
members often spend hours listening to presentations from ministers or
interest groups, but sometimes their burden is less pressing and
then they can become a little wistful, nostalgic event. We start
our weekly look at the work of the committees at education where they
are discussing P E. Is it compulsory to provide swimming
lessons or swimming for schools? This particular school does not
have access to a nearby swimming facility. My understanding is that
it does not provide swimming lessons. Then I made inquiries and
the Department were very good at coming back and said, it is a
statutory requirement, it is in the curriculum. A think it has to be
noted that whilst in the past football and Gallic were perceived
to be predominantly male who played those games. But when David speaks
about rugby, what about hockey and other games that females play? That
does not fit in. In my own area we have a fantastic hockey team. If
that is not being funded, I know the community fund so that and the
coaches come from the community. If we are talking in terms of equality,
I think we should include female games like hockey. And cricket. It
was an amazing thing why cricket was such eight Keene Sport west of
the province, which is a very English thing. The answer I was
given when I asked why there was a cricket club in Brady, at the Mills
was the reason why. The mill owners would have provided a sport and
they played cricket and that was the link. What it does raise his
maybe we should look at this as another potential area for inquiry
for us. I agree with that and I agree with what Mekelle is saying.
I used to play hobby and the next top you was the best game. It is an
important piece of work for the committee to undertake in terms of
the judiciary. Could I suggest that we invite a witness to give
evidence on this issue? Can I anticipate the witness. There has
been a certain former Secretary of State who has written a book and he
has very definitely outspoken views on this issue. He has taken the
very unusual step of making a public comment about this. He says
it is an assault on the independence of the judiciary. That
was a response to Mr Payne's comments that Sir Paul Girvan was
off his rocker! Being serious about it, he has clearly a very strong
views on this. He has been on the inside track as far as this issue
is concerned. I am proposing that given the fact he has very strong
views that we invite him to come before this committee and give
evidence. On the judiciary? On the appointments to the judiciary.
to attend we will have terms of reference for our work on this and
part of that will be witnesses and if you want to pick up almost
Secretary of State for this list... They were talking about p, but on a
more serious education at, is there some sort of early intervention
needed to prevent children ever leaving school without some basic
qualifications and the skills to read and write? Absolutely.
Education is one of the biggest factors that can help children
overcome some disadvantage. Our education system is very good. I am
not going to criticise it for the sake of it, but too many people
coming out at the other end with not enough and generally they come
from poorer communities weather have been family difficulties
through no fault of their own, so we need an education system that
can educate all its children. That may mean a classroom assistant, it
may mean children come out of the classes to get extra attention. It
does not necessarily mean that many resources. It means we need to
think differently about how we educate some of our children.
Should we have targets to say that children should never be able to
leave school without being able to read or write? I am not saying
targets is right, because we have seen what is happening with league
tables, but we should have targets that recognise a child's potential.
If you have had a difficult time in your life, like a bereavement, as
you may not get a GCSE at 16, but you may get it at 18 once things
have settled a bit. It is to make sure children learn in the best way
that they can. It has been a busy week for the Ulster Unionist Party,
but today they attempted to move on as Martina told me earlier. We had
Basil McCrae and Danny Kennedy appeared together at a news
conference to say how much they supported the leader and they
wanted to move forward and the party was united. They came
together and Baz on a crate is seen as the man who prefers opposition
and sees the fortunes of the Ulster Unionist Party best served by going
into opposition, with Danny Kennedy the Minister involved in the talks,
both different wings of the party coming together. Interesting DAVID
COULTHARD: Nari mentioned agenda as last night. When he talked about
two competing agendas he meant those two interests. Although David
McNarry appeared on the programme last night, as a hurt and winded
MLA, who he said was unfairly punished, he was more angry and
vengeful today. He said this will be a 15 round fight and is not
going quietly. The we have had discussions about two agendas and
is this all semantics? He said last night he did not recognise this
term a liaison officer, which was how Tom Elliot referred to him in
the talks with the DUP. He spoke of a panel of four. He would not tell
us who else was on this panel, but informed sources tell as it was
David Campbell, the chairman of the party, Danny Kennedy and the Ulster
Unionist leader Tom Elliot. I rang Tom Elliot and asked about the
panel and he said he did not recognise there was a panel. He
said there were meetings, there were areas of co-operation. The
last meeting was 45 minutes. He said there were games being played,
but in fairness to DAVID COULTHARD: Nari he was never officially known
as a liaison officer. -- DAVID COULTHARD: Nari. We have been
asking the politicians about which sad songs would make them cry. What
would bring a tier 2 your eye? people say I am heartless and it is
not possible to make me cry, but I say Elvis Presley and you can play
his music at my funeral, which would cheer up many people around
here. Perish the thought. Listening to a sad song has reduced seven out
of 10 men to tears according to a studied. If the title music of this
programme brings a tier 2 your eye, get eight issue and keep watching
as MLAs reveal a softer side. was being facetious I would say
every song that the Reverend McRae recorded. It would be a song by a
group called the Stanlow brothers, different things to different
people and it is a survey of how people view things if you are a
father, a brother, a son and you are all those things. When I
listened to my children perform, the tears come to my eyes. But I
remember when my sister, who is a trained vocalists, did her first
solo in church and she sang, I was moved to tears. Every time I hear
that song in church tears come back to me. In a survey it brought back
memories of the Show Band Days and suddenly the band would start to
play Elvis and the men started to cry. It told the story of the
orphanages which were in vogue in the Sixties and the whole idea of
people turning up to adopt somebody and passing that little child
because it was blind. That really was emotional. People do not
realise that behind every hard- nosed politician there is a person
who is soft about something and it certainly sad songs really get me.
I do not know which is worse, nobody's child or two little boys.
What would bring a tier 2 your eye? I have two if you indulge me. One
is the South African national anthem and that always makes me cry.
The other is Peggy Gordon, an old Irish folksong, because my children
performed it when they were very young. It still brings a tier 2 I
just thinking about it. One is personal and won his emotional
thinking about people's struggles. Anything to do with children is
tricky. Thank you for being our guest this event. That is it for

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) – Missouri senators have taken the final step to deny pay raises for themselves and other elected officials.
Senators voted 25-2 against the raises late Monday. They had until Wednesday to act.
The vote came after Republican Gov. Eric Greitens put pressure on lawmakers to oppose the raise, which prompted a prickly response from some senators. Republican Sen. Paul Wieland described Greitens' tactic as intimidation and said he felt insulted. Seven senators recused themselves, although one later voted.
They argued voting on their own pay raises is a conflict of interest. Others criticized the move as an effort to support raises without voting.
In Missouri, a citizen panel recommends how much lawmakers and statewide elected officials are paid. The raises can be blocked if two-thirds of the Legislature votes against them.

Choosing the best fishing rods for your kids can help you catch some family fun.
Building a fishing starter kit for your little angler can be a fun activity for both of you to enjoy. Gearing your child up for a fun day on the lake, river or surf can be a great way to teach them about the ins and outs of fishing, along with what type of equipment is necessary for a lifetime of future success. One key fishing essential is your kids' fishing pole. Having a fishing rod that's best for their skill level and physical stature can help make their time – and yours – outdoors more fun than frustrating.
Kids fishing rods are essentially scaled-down adult fishing poles that cater more to the child profile. When searching for a fishing pole for your child, there are a few qualities you should look for to ensure their equipment is kid-friendly, yet effective at the same time. You should consider traits such as length, weight, usability, and durability. But first, you need to decide on which style of reel your child's fishing pole should pair with.
When it comes to compatibility with beginner fishing poles, there are two preferred styles of reels. One is open-faced (spinning reels) and the other is closed-faced (spincast or "push-button" reels). Baitcast reels are also fantastic fishing options and might be the reel of choice for your adult fishing setup. However, they probably aren't the best beginner option due to their more advanced components and required skill level.
Spincast reels are attached to spinning rods and feature a push-button mechanism that activates the reel's line release. This can make for an easy and simple casting process with little complications. As a result, many beginner fishermen often start on this closed-faced style. This angling option is very user-friendly and a great choice for children under 6 years of age or kids who can't regularly practice their casting. You can easily find spincast reels individually or featured in rod and reel combos designed specifically for children. Some rod and reel combos even come with designs featuring popular cartoons and characters, so your little angler can add some personality and flair to their fishing setup.
As your child advances in their expertise and learns to cast with greater ease, you can then move them up to using an open-faced design. Spinning reels, best suited for children over the age of 7, can be a great option for youngsters whose interest in the sport of fishing grows with age. Having your child use a spinning reel can also make for an easier transition to more "adult" fishing setups and can give their equipment more of a mature feel.
BONUS PRO TIP: Spinning reels can be the better option for beginner fishermen taking to saltwater. They are much easier to clean and the reel's open design features less surface area for salt deposits to collect and cause mechanical problems.
Once you have the reel style chosen for your child's fishing pole, you can then focus on the rod length. While your little angler might want to cast that 10-foot surf rod, as humorous as that may be, you want to aim for a rod length that is just long enough so that your kid can comfortably handle the equipment. You don't want to sacrifice their casting capabilities with a rod that's too short, but you also don't want to squash their fishing confidence by stocking them with gear that they can't maneuver properly or efficiently. Most kids' fishing rods will be roughly three to four feet in length, allowing for a fine balance between comfort and performance. As your child becomes more experienced, be sure to adjust their rod length accordingly.
You should also look to gear your kids up with fishing equipment that will survive, well, your kids. Children can put a toll on gear, so having a durable rod is key to extended fun on the water. Lightweight-yet-tough materials such as graphite, fiberglass and composite blends can be great options for young anglers learning how to fish, as well as parents who would rather not purchase rod after rod all fishing season.
A pint-sized fishing rod should also include kid-friendly add-ons, right? To accent your child's fishing pole, be sure to pick up some items like a casting plug for practice, as well as some snap swivels and bobbers to fill your little angler's tackle box.

"The government is funding Dyson to develop a new battery electric vehicle at their headquarters in Malmesbury, Wiltshire. This will secure £174m of investment in the area, creating over 500 jobs, mostly in engineering." If you'll recall, Dyson snapped up a company called Sakti3 for $15 million back in 2015. Sakti3 was a promising University of Michigan spinoff, which developed batteries with double the life of even the best lithium-ion variants today. This acquisition, the government's battery grant and this new funding could mean Dyson plans to go head-to-head with companies (like Tesla) that make both electric vehicles and their own batteries in the future.

World's smallest differential pressure sensor opens up new applications
February 29, 2016	Advertorials 823 Views
At this year's medical technology trade fair MD&M West, Sensirion, the world's leading manufacturer of high-quality sensors for the measurement and control of humidity, gas and liquid flows, will be showcasing a genuine innovation – the world's smallest differential pressure sensor. Sensirion's new SDP3x digital differential pressure sensor measures just 5mm x 8mm x 5mm and opens up countless new integration and application possibilities, including for the measurement of air flows in medical technology or the consumer goods industry.
The new SDP3x differential pressure sensor is considerably smaller than other sensors in its segment. It can be built into devices which previously lacked sufficient space for any sensory technology at all. Thanks to the small sensor, existing devices can also be made considerably smaller. The new sensor is particularly suitable for portable or mobile medical devices in the field of home care (medical ventilation) or for products in the consumer goods industry.
The SDP3x sensor measures differential pressure and is ideal for the measurement of mass flow in a bypass configuration. And it's not just its small size that's impressive – it also stands out thanks to its accuracy, long-term stability, and no zeropoint drift. The new SDP3x is reflow solderable and available in a pick-and-place package on tape and reel for industrial manufacturing. The small sensor also offers fast signal processing and response time and includes various other digital functions such as multiple I2C addresses and interrupts. All of these new features make Sensirion's SDP3x series differential pressure sensor the perfect choice for cost-sensitive applications requiring high unit volumes.
The fully calibrated and temperature-compensated differential pressure sensors are available in a variety of versions. The SDP31 is digital with an I2C interface, and the SDP36 has an analog output signal. Both versions measure a bi-directional flow range of up to 500 Pa. In 2016, new products with extended measurement ranges and different features will be added to the SDP3x series. The different versions in the SDP3x series cater to all customer needs.
The SDP3x differential pressure sensor is manufactured with the latest generation of Sensirion's CMOSens® chips and is the cornerstone of the new sensor platform for measurement of differential pressure and gas flow. As with all sensors using the patented CMOSens® Technology, the SDP3x also integrates the sensor element and the evaluation circuit into a single CMOS silicon chip. The result is an ultra-precision system that offers long-term stability for sophisticated and cost-sensitive applications.
Visit Sensirion between February 9 and 11, 2016 in Anaheim, CA, USA at the MD&M West trade fair, booth 2282, and learn more about the new differential pressure sensor SDP3x. To find out more about the world's smallest differential pressure sensor, visit www.sensirion.com/sdp3x.

'What Manner of Spirit We Are'
An article from the Cathedral Times
By the Rev. Dr. Thee Smith
If you grew up like me, reading the King James Version of the Bible, you were haunted recently (June 30; Pentecost 3C) by some words left out of our gospel translation.
When his disciples James and John saw it, they said, "Lord, do you want us to command fire to come down from heaven and consume them?" But he turned and rebuked them (Luke 9:54-55; NRSV; my emphasis).
Instead, the King James Version adds (in italics):
But He turned and rebuked them, and said, "You do not know what manner of spirit you are of. For the Son of Man did not come to destroy men's lives but to save them." And they went to another village (Luke 9:55-56; NKJV).
Notice too that the epistle assigned to be read alongside that gospel uses that same word, 'consume.'
If, however, you bite and devour one another, take care that you are not consumed by one another. [Rather] Live by the Spirit, I say (Galatians 5:15-16; NRSV).
Thus the apostle Paul echoed Jesus' mission to 'save not destroy human lives' (cf. 'to save not condemn the world,' John 3:17). Recall, in that connection, the 'All Lives Matter' slogan that served, several years ago, as a reaction or push-back to the 'Black Lives Matter' movement. For Jesus, indeed, all lives matter—but especially the lives of our opponents on every issue.
Why 'especially?' Because human zeal for any cause or issue so easily shifts into sacrificial zeal to consume and destroy our opponents (structurally related like all dualisms, some say). Notice, precisely in that connection, how the disciples' request to 'call down fire from heaven' invoked the signature act of the prophet, Elijah. Also featured in the assigned Old Testament reading that Sunday, it was Elijah who famously summoned fire from heaven to sanction mass execution of the prophets of Baal (1 Kings 18.38-40). May we not covet, with Elisha, that 'mantle of the prophet!'
Rather, we're called to a 'non-sacrificial' (cf. René Girard) perspective on 'what manner of spirit we are.' Consider in that regard David Livingstone's "Perspectives on the World Christian Movement," delivered to students at Cambridge University on December 4, 1857. (Acknowledgement: John Piper, 'Desiring God' https://www.desiringgod.org/messages/our-grand-obligation)
People talk of the sacrifice I have made in spending so much of my life in Africa. . . . Is that a sacrifice which brings its own blest reward in healthful activity, the consciousness of doing good, peace of mind, and a bright hope of a glorious destiny hereafter? Away with the word in such a view, and with such a thought! It is emphatically no sacrifice. Say rather it is a privilege. Anxiety, sickness, suffering, or danger, now and then, with a foregoing of the common conveniences and charities of this life, may make us pause, and cause the spirit to waver, and the soul to sink; but let this only be for a moment. All these are nothing when compared with the glory which shall be revealed in and for us. I never made a sacrifice.
'What manner of spirit are we?' As typical sinners we inevitably continue forms of ritual sacrifice. But as Christ-like spirits we're called to 'desire mercy, not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings.' To that prophetic text a more contemporary translation renders Jesus' addendum to Hosea: 'For I have come to call not those who think they are righteous, but those who know they are sinners' (Hosea 6:6 and Matthew 9:13; New International, New Living).
* "Dr Livingstone's Cambridge lectures : together with a prefatory letter by the Rev. Professor Sedgwick" Lecture I: Commerce and Christianity, p. 23: https://archive.org/stream/drlivingstonesca00livi/drlivingstonesca00livi_djvu.txt.

Results Focused Influencer Marketing
Preview Contemporary R&B Vocalist Vivian Green
February 7, 2017 | Julia Vu
Contemporary R&B vocalist Vivian Green was born and raised in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Her mother was a singer and her father played the trumpet. Growing up with musically talented parents and Motown Classics blasting around the house, it was inevitable that Vivian would follow in her parents' footsteps. Starting with the piano at age 8, then songwriting at 11, by the time she was 13, Vivian was in in a girl group called Younique. At 15, she started recording and writing at a studio belonging to multi-platinum group Boyz II Men. Her mature voice and writing style landed her a professional songwriting credit for "Dear God" on Boyz II Men's platinum selling album Evolution. Vivian's big break came when she landed a gig singing backup for Jill Scott, who eventually invited her on an international tour. After, she worked with Grammy nominated singer/songwriter Eric Roberson to release a demo containing the smash single "Emotional Roller Coaster", which would steal her a record deal with Sony Music. Her debut album, A Love Story (2002) received a Gold rating with countless reviews from major publications. Vivian's second album followed in 2005, along with a number of collaborations with reputable artists in music, film, theater and television.
Vivian Green's Comeback
Between 2005-2010, Vivian took a break from her music to attend to her son Jordan who was born with an undiagnosed illness. Even after a long hiatus from the industry, Vivian's music was able to stay with current trends. Music from her heart has always been her best method to portray the true essence of soul music.
Vivian Green is now back in her music with a new album! Her new album is scheduled for release Summer 2017!
To follow Vivian Green, her new album, and upcoming tour, be sure to visit Vivian Green.

Ambient Intelligence
Ben Schouten & Rob van Kranenburg
In Wikipedia the concept of Ambient Intelligence (AmI) is described as a vision where humans are surrounded by computing and networking technology unobtrusively embedded in their surroundings. AmI puts the emphasis on user-friendliness, efficient and distributed services support, user empowerment, and support for human interactions. This vision assumes a shift away from PCs to a variety of devices which are unobtrusively embedded in our environment and which are accessed via intelligent interfaces using RFID, PDA, wearables, robots etc.
Technologically framed issues of the coming decade will be on smart environments, The Internet of Things, pervasive computing, ubicomp, Things That Think, Disappearing Computer, Ambient Intelligence, Calm Technology, all terms for the trend of chips and circuits, switches and boards moving out of the computer as we know it, into clothing (wearables), homes (domotics), military operations (smart dust), healthcare (implants), security (smart cameras), and through logistics and retail into the chain of things that we buy and sell every day. However, they will not move out without sending postcards home. They will keep in touch with the digital infrastructures and databases by calling in from time to time. Following Mark Weiserís vision in his seminal 1992 Computing for the 21th century text, this view on computing is the fastest spreading paradigm in the history of technology: from Intel (hardware), to Philips (Ambient Intelligence), from Nokia (Near Field Communication), to DARPA (distributed systems), from the EU vision of Digital Territory to the EPC Global dream of an Internet of Things (Object Name Servers).
As the World Wide Web has changed our ways to communicate, to collaborate and share information in previously unavailable ways, ambient technology will even further influence our lives, HOW we perceive and communicate and shape our identity. It will reshape our media in new content and environments, our daily live and work environment and our economical challenges. Using new technologies and improved sensor capabilities it will facilitate more human communication and places the human in the centre of his adaptive environment. An important question will then be to find new ways of scripting new forms of solidarities with these digital technologies which will deepen the possibilities, which will inspire trust and confidence. Otherwise we might be confronted with more control and/or hiding the technological complexity behind ever more simple user friendly interfaces. In both cases there is no learning by citizens on how to function within such a system, thereby opening up all kinds of breakdown scenarios.
We will discuss how to negociate the vast economic and human resources in the Netherlands, its unique saturedness in terms of infrastructures and excellent planning strategies in relation to a practical living of everyday life, real human problems and challenges? This evening we hope to get the key players in the Dutch ambient intelligence field together in order to debate strategies towards collaboration and concrete implementation scenarios.

Once again, The American Lawyer has recognized Jenner & Block as the No. 1 law firm in the United States for pro bono service. This marks the ninth time the firm has achieved the top spot in the annual survey of pro bono commitment among Big Law firms. The firm is also recognized among the top 10 law firms on this year's international ranking.
The ranking, in The American Lawyer's annual survey, is based on 2017 hours, which totaled more than 90,700. As The American Lawyer points out, the firm averaged 168 pro bono hours per lawyer. On the international front, Jenner & Block is ranked seventh.
Partner Andrew W. Vail, co-chair of the firm's Pro Bono Committee, observes in the profile that the firm has an "extremely broad and deep" commitment to pro bono work and puts considerable effort into identifying pro bono work for litigators and transactional lawyers. In 2017, the firm increased its commitment to pro bono on asylum cases and also represented three people who were wrongfully convicted. All three of the convictions were vacated.
Jenner & Block was also named No. 1 in 2017, 2015, 2014, 2012, 2010, 2009, 2008 and 1999. The firm has placed among the leading 10 pro bono programs nationwide every year since the survey began in 1990.
Jenner & Block has once again been recognized as the No. 1 law firm in the country for pro bono service by The American Lawyer magazine. This marks the eighth time the firm has achieved the top spot in The American Lawyer's annual survey of pro bono commitment among Big Law firms. Jenner & Block was also named No. 1 in 2015, 2014, 2012, 2010, 2009, 2008 and 1999. The firm has placed among the leading 10 pro bono programs nationwide every year since the survey began in 1990.
The 2017 rankings are based on pro bono hours performed in 2016. Jenner & Block lawyers provided 141 pro bono hours per lawyer on average and 95 percent of them contributed more than 20 hours to pro bono matters. Overall, Jenner & Block lawyers performed more than 75,500 hours of pro bono work in 2016. The American Lawyer notes that the firm's most significant pro bono matter in hours in 2016 was the court challenge to North Carolina's controversial "bathroom bill," which required that access to restrooms and changing facilities in all public buildings be restricted based on whether users are shown as male or female on their birth certificates -- thus effectively barring use by transgender persons. As co-counsel with Lambda Legal, the firm represented transgender students and employees at University of North Carolina institutions and devoted more than 1,800 hours toward the case. Last August, a federal district court judge enjoined the University from enforcing the bill, holding that the plaintiffs were likely to succeed on the claim that the bill conflicted with requirements of Title IX.
The American Lawyer's July edition includes an article in which Pro Bono Committee Co-Chair Andrew W. Vail is quoted saying that the firm has a longstanding commitment toward LGBT rights cases, along with immigration rights and death penalty cases. "We're very proud, and not in the ranking itself, but that it's a reflection of and a recognition that pro bono is in Jenner & Block's DNA. And, as the firm has grown in size, diversity, reach and practice, our pro bono program – and its numbers, impact and scope – has grown," Mr. Vail says.
In another article about the survey, Mr. Vail observes that the reason the firm's lawyers do so much pro bono work is that they like it. "Our attorneys are diverse and have a diverse range of passions and take on matters that they are passionate about," he says.
For more information about Jenner & Block's recent pro bono efforts, we invite you to check out the latest edition of The Heart of the Matter.


The marquise style of cut appeals to Jon because it evokes natural forms, and lends itself to the flowing, sculptural shapes that are characteristic of his designs.
The pendant is formed from one solid piece of platinum and creates a synergy with the stone, regardless of shape.
It offers an alternative to the classical round single stone diamond pendant with a rub over edge - though we can make those too!

Virgin martyr who was put to death with a group of fellow virgins in Armenia. According to her unreliable acts, she belonged to a community of virgins under the direction of Gaiana in Rome. Renowned for her extreme beauty, she supposedly attracted the attentions of Emperor Diocletian and was forced to flee Rome with the other members of the community. They went first to Alexandria, Egypt, and then settled in Valarshapat, where Rhipsime's beauty again gained notice. Brought before King Tiridates. Rhipsime refused the royal favors and was put to death by being roasted alive. Gaiana and all of the other maidens except one, called Christiana, were massacred by Armenian soldiers. Christiana later became a missionary in Georgia. While it is certain that Rhipsime and the virgins were martyred in Armenia, the details of their deaths were most likely fictitious. They are honored as the first Christian martyrs of Armenia.


At Coast Dental in Christies Beach we have treated many patients who suffered from bad breath.
Bad breath can be caused by poor oral hygiene habits or oral health problems such as gum disease. The mouth is home to millions of bacteria, and it is these bacteria which feed on food particles giving off a sulphur compound which creates the bad odour.
Habits such as smoking and drinking alcohol can also contribute to the odour. And then there's coffee. While coffee is delicious it also contains an acid causing bad breath bacteria to reproduce in your mouth: milk only exacerbates the problem.
When dentists and doctors tell you to brush your teeth on a regular basis; it's not because we like the sound of our own voice. Brushing and flossing your teeth has a number of health benefits not least of which is keeping your teeth healthy. By not brushing and flossing daily you're allowing plaque to build up on your teeth. This can result in decay slowly eating away at your teeth, causing gum disease and bad breath.

Turntable Thoughts
The best music from Asia to the US and everywhere in between
Every BLACKPINK song, ranked
Jensen OoiListsBlackpink, Korean2 Comments
6. "Kiss and Make Up" (with Dua Lipa)
BLACKPINK and Dua Lipa's surprise collaboration is great for many reasons (other than it having the only non-all caps title on this list), chiefly its tropical production style. It's a nice break away from the group's mostly EDM-inspired offerings. Also, the track is a wonderful hint at the potential intermixed future of pop music when it comes to language barriers. Despite the fairly significant differences in enunciation between English and Korean, it's barely noticeable on the track as everyone involved focuses on the song's quality first and language hurdle second.
5. "뚜두뚜두" (DDU-DU DDU-DU)
Arguably the biggest song of their career thus far, the already iconic synth leads that start the track off are guaranteed to turn heads of even the most casual of K-Pop fans. Not to mention it's incredibly bombastic beat and instantly memorable title/hook. Yet the group's vocal performances are slightly underwhelming, due to the production largely overshadowing them. Still, each member gets their own distinct individual spotlight across the track, making "DDU-DU DDU-DU" the most accessible entry point to BLACKPINK's discography.
4. "마지막처럼" (AS IF IT'S YOUR LAST)
In comparison to every other entry on this list, "AS IF IT'S YOUR LAST" flows the best out of all of them. The transitions from each sung verse to the refrains to the chorus to the rap verse are pretty much seamless. Structure-wise, I personally think it's best in their entire discography. Additionally, Lisa's impeccable rap verse is arguably the group's best yet. Though short, her flow is stellar and charisma every bit as addicting. Unfortunately, the song's production might be one of the group's weakest, but it's all made up for by one of their most addictively irresistible choruses.
The only ballad that the group has ever done, "STAY" bucks the trend of melancholic crooning in favor of a more upbeat yet mellow delivery. Keeping their trademark glee front and center, the song manages to feel both vulnerable and empowering. Equipped with nothing but an acoustic guitar and the occasional harmonica, it's the most minimalistic and intimate track in their discography. Even with two peachy rap verses sandwiched in between, it still manages to sound exquisitely calming. Like dessert after a full course meal, the song isn't the best the group has to offer but it's damn near unskippable.
2. "SOLO" (performed by JENNIE)
Personally, I've always had a slight gripe at how forgettable some of BLACKPINK's verses can be. Yet "SOLO" has none of that problem as Jennie's solo debut sees her laying down not only a potent sung verse but an equally compelling rap verse as well. Paired with its pompous pre-chorus and assertive chorus, the song is the complete package of Jennie as an artist. Unlike most of the group's work, "SOLO" exudes attitude. There's a dose of nastiness injected into the track which makes it that much more intriguing to listen to. Whether the song works better due to the absence of the other members is up for debate, but there's no denying that "SOLO" is one of their most tantalizing songs.
1. "휘파람" (WHISTLE)
THAT. PRODUCTION. THOUGH.
I don't know what it is with me and whistling, but I immediately fall in love when it's used in any genre of music. From the very first second of the track, it hooks you in with its minimalistic beat and never lets go. The addictive whistle loop is more than enough to make it one of their best songs. Still, that's not the only reason why "WHISTLE" is my favorite BLACKPINK track.
The group also found the best balance between Jennie and Lisa's rapping to Rosé and Jisoo's singing. Their most rap-heavy song, "WHISTLE" also settles as being BLACKPINK's boldest track. As they effortlessly bounce off each other, the group's chemistry takes center stage and becomes the song's strongest element. With each member sounding invigorated and animated, the intoxicating energy on display completely wins me over and easily takes my top spot as their very best.
