It is hard to believe, but it has been 30 years since martial arts superstar Bruce Lee died an untimely death. Warner Home Video has now released a 30th Anniversary Special Edition DVD of his most popular and spectacular film "Enter The Dragon, " which even improves upon the previously released Special Edition. The film would have undoubtedly marked the stellar rise of the "Dragon" in Western hemispheres if fate had not tragically changed the course of events. Nevertheless, Bruce Lee is still known and remembered as the world's supreme martial artist and a dedicated actor, whose goal was to make the beauty and elegance of the Asian culture more tangible and understandable for audiences around the world. He has succeeded in his venture, but the price was too high for some.
On a remote island off the coast of Hong Kong, Han runs an isolated martial arts school, training only the most elite scholars. The former Shaolin student is also running a profitable drug ring, preparing opium to be shipped to the coast. The police know about him, but they need evidence. An annual martial arts contest, hosted on the island, is the ideal time for them to smuggle in one of their own agents (Bruce Lee) and put an end to Han's criminal efforts. Lee wants to punish the mighty Han both for the drug ring and for breaking the Shaolin's code of honor. He travels to the remote island where an incredible number of martial artists meet to test and prove their skills. Soon, Lee starts nightly field trips into the guarded fortress in search for the drugs' evidence. His efforts do not remain unnoticed. Han makes an example of the guards who carelessly let someone sneak into the secret halls, making it unmistakably clear what will happen to the intruder once the intruder's identity is discovered.
"Enter The Dragon" is a film masterpiece, combining Asian influences with Hollywood filmmaking. This Special Edition, which includes 3 minutes of additional footage that were cut from the movie's original U.S. theatrical release, restores the film's efforts as a whole. It shows the traditional background of the Shaolin and the responsibilities they teach a true martial artist, superimposing it over a racy secret agent story with acclaimed Hollywood actor John Saxon and judo world champion Jim Kelly. Shot on location in Hong Kong, the film perfectly captures the flavor of the oriental setting with an elaborate production design and gorgeous cinematography. The costumes and images are as colorful as the culture and tradition of Asia and with the film's photography they come to life right there on your TV set.
The best way to describe "Enter The Dragon" to someone who hasn't watched the movie before is that it is a James Bond-like action film, with the main star's athletic body acting in place of the secret agent's omnipotent gizmos. Much of the film is reminiscent of Bond's signature, which has supposedly helped to make the film more attractive to Western audiences. This appropriation of Bond's signature even goes as far as the film's antagonist carrying around a white fluffy cat and surrounding himself with beautiful, lethal women. This resemblance sets the film apart even more, however, because it is a constant reminder that, unlike 007, Bruce Lee is capable of executing all the actions we see on screen. He does not need technical wizards to save his hide. His spiritual balance and his incredible martial arts skills are what keep him victorious. This credibility is what levers all of Lee's work into realms untouched by Western filmmakers. Only Jackie Chan, who has taken on Bruce's heritage and helps make Asian action movies palpable to Western audiences, could be compared with the honesty, skill, determination, and charm the charismatic Bruce Lee brought to the screen. Not by coincidence, Jackie can also be seen in "Enter The Dragon". He worked as a stuntman in the film in a number of the breath-taking fight sequences. Seek to 1:21:22 on the disc and take a closer look at the guy bear-hugging Bruce. It is none other than Jackie Chan, who, only seconds later, gets his neck snapped by the master himself.
Much has been said about Bruce Lee and his legacy, and the fact that he is still as much of an icon as he was 25 years ago speaks for itself. If you have never seen one of Bruce's movies, start with "Enter The Dragon". It is exemplary for his motivations and the way he tried to educate the world about the grace and power of martial arts. Before we even see him fight for the first time, it becomes clear that he is a man of wits and brains. Fully aware that violence does not solve anything, his instinctual approach is to avoid confrontation… but woe to you if you dare tackle the "Dragon". Bruce Lee was born in the year of the dragon, according to the Chinese calendar, and his full Chinese name was translated to English – "Little Dragon Lee", which resulted in his nickname "Dragon". This also explains the film's somewhat cryptic title "Enter The Dragon", which needs to be read down the lines of "Here comes the Dragon", as the film was supposed to raise Bruce Lee's awareness in Western countries. Unlike Western cultures, who look upon dragons as fierce fire-breathing creatures devouring people for the fun of it, Asian cultures worship the dragon as a wise and mighty creature. Despite its size and its sheer strength, the dragon is extremely graceful and uses its age-old knowledge to solve problems for the good of the many, relying on its untamable powers only as a last resort. Like his namesake, Lee is gentle and friendly, exhibiting no hostility in his mannerisms. However, when unleashed, he turns into the most agile energy bundle that has ever graced the silver screen. His perfect body reveals itself to be all muscles while remaining completely wiry and well proportioned. His lithe form makes every WWF wrestler look like an obese clown. His every moves are precise, unpredictable, and to the point, making him a lethal human weapon.
Warner have gone to quite some lengths to makes this release something special. First off, the film's transfer is spectacular, with a stunningly sharp image that shows no signs of age and visually improves even upon the previous release. Not s hint of grain is evident and colors are vividly rendered, creating a bold picture that leaps off the screen. Especially the colorful interior shots of Han's palace are wonderfully vibrant and rich without ever over-saturating. Skin tones are always natural. The image has solid black levels, reproducing the cinematography just as it was intended with impenetrable pools of black and radiant pools of light to counter them. The DVD Features the original 2.35:1 <$PS,widescreen> version of the movie in a transfer that is <$16x9,enhanced for 16x9> TV sets. No edge-enhancement is visible and the compression is flawless without introducing any compression artifacts.
The film's audio has been equally well treated, coming as a <$5.1,5.1 channel> <$DD,Dolby Digital> transfer that had been used on the previous release already. It is engaging and dynamic, giving the audio good breathing room and taking some of the harshness out of the original recording. Dialogues are well-integrated and always understandable and Lalo Shifrin's score is beautifully supporting the film's imagery, as he is creating an amalgam of 70s west coast music and traditional Asian tunes.
The DVD also contains a <$commentary,commentary track> by producer Paul Heller in which he reminisces about the making of the movie and the unique experience it must have been.
The first disc of the DVD set also contains three featurettes. The first one is a new look back at the making of the film. With new interviews of cast and crew members, it manages to paint a nice picture how the film came together and how the production went through its tribulations on location in Hong Kong. "Bruce Lee: In His Own Words" and the original 1973 promotional featurette are also included on this release once again, just as on the previous release. Home Video footage provided by Lee's wife Linda is also found on this disc.
The second disc of the DVD set contains the feature-length biography "Bruce Lee: A Warrior's Journey" by John Little, which is full of insights and details about Bruce's life. It even goes as far as covering his last movie "The Game Of Death" in such detail that it tries to reconstruct how Bruce had intended to cut the movie. It is a wonderful love letter to Bruce Lee and adds so much to the release.
George Takei narrates producer Fred Weintraub's examination of the Lee legacy in a featurette called "Bruce Lee: The Curse Of The Dragon."
The DVD is rounded out with a rather complete selection of trailers and TV spots that were used to promote the film in 1973.
makes this a thoroughly enjoyable and informative experience every time you throw in this disc. It is a brilliant film that comes on an outstanding DVD release that should be part of any DVD Collector's library. This is movie magic coming to life and you simply cannot afford to miss this spectacular film. This disc will make sure that Bruce Lee's spark will glow for years to come and that we will never forget his extraordinary talents and skills. Long live the Dragon!


In 2013 about 13 million persons aged 15 and over have functional limitations. For this people the interaction between health conditions and behavioural factors may result in restrictions to the social inclusion.
Among persons with functional limitations, impairments or severe chronic diseases, 23.4% report they have severe limitations, as they have the highest degree of difficulty in at least one among their physical or sensory capacities or in carrying out every day personal care activities.

About 5 million persons aged 15-64 with functional limitations, impairments or severe chronic diseases are not enrolled in any vocational nor educational training. Out of them, 8.4% have difficulties in studying due to their health problems. The proportion increase up to 37.3% among those who have severe limitations.
Health conditions have a strong impact on the participation of labour market. In 2013, 44.0% of persons aged 15-64 years with functional limitations, impairments or severe chronic diseases were employed against 55.1% of people employed in the total population. Only 19.7% among people with severe limitations were employed.
The proportion of people with functional limitations, impairments or severe chronic diseases who have difficulties in the mobility due to their health conditions is very high: 27.2% have difficulties in getting out from home, 22.3% in acceding buildings and 19.7% in using public transport. The shares increase among persons with severe limitations, reaching 76.2, 70.5 and 59.6% respectively.

Founded in 1929 under the name of Union Airways, 1934 marks its actual birth: After it was taken over by the South African government, the airline was renamed South African Airways. The very first intercontinental service, the legendary "Springbok Route", commenced in November 1945 and connected Johannesburg with Hurne-Bournemouth in England with stopovers in Nairobi, Khartoum, Cairo and Tripoli.
Flight services from South Africa to Frankfurt were first introduced in 1952.
In 2006 SAA became the first African airline to join Star Alliance, the largestglobal airline network.
Today SAA is Africa's most awarded airline and connects the African continent with the rest of the world; the colours of its livery reflecting the "Rainbow Nation". With a fleet of 48 aircraft, SAA carries about seven million passengers every year to 32 destinations worldwide.


In part 3 of a special series, Amy Gleason, RN, Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer of CareSync, and Mark Nalywajko, VP of Client Solutions at CareSync, discuss the evolution of Chronic Care Management (CCM) since January 2015. What lessons have been learned and where do we think the future of CCM is headed?
Stacey Richter, host of the popular podcast Relentless Health Value, recently referred to the first year of experience working with CPT Code 99490 as a four-stage process for providers: Disbelief, Shangri-La, Anger, and then Dawning Reality. While this critical time period certainly saw its share of ups and downs, what we learned along the way has been a real eye-opener, especially for those who embraced or are about to embrace the final stage.
There is a lot to seriously consider before you jump right in to administering your own Chronic Care Management (CCM) program. Compliance should be at the very top of your must-have list. After CMS gets it off the ground, they will start enforcing its requirements like nobody's business, then dish out the fines for those who are not compliant. Many providers will also need to decide if they have the manpower to administer the program themselves, or if they want to partner with a CCM provider.
Beware the bargain hunters that are looking for extreme deals, in order to reduce costs. Corners will be cut, and cheap programs risk compliance with CMS resulting in potential fines. Finally, providers need to find the best way to integrate CCM with their practice EMR. Finding a custom solution instead of a one size fits all bargain basement product, is certainly a challenge. In Part 2 of a special series, RN, Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer of CareSync, Amy Gleason, answers questions that will help providers overcome these challenges.
You've often heard the phrase, "necessity is the mother of all invention." That couldn't be more true for CareSync's Co-Founder, Chief Operating Officer, and Registered Nurse, Amy Gleason. In Part 1 of a special series with Amy, she will share the personal story of her daughter's rare condition that lead to the invention of CareSync: a clinical care coordination company that is focused on patient-centric solutions for people with chronic illnesses. Later in the series she will discuss the following components of chronic care management including: requirements, insights 15 months in, struggles, overcoming obstacles, trends, the true value of CCM, and where she believes the future of healthcare is heading.
CareSync Founder and CEO, Travis Bond, uses year of CCM data to help patients receive better care and services.
Procrastination's a funny thing: suddenly all of your other work seems so much more important than that one fearsome task you've been putting off.
Hardworking primary care doctors, medical practices, hospitals, managers and administrators who haven't yet started using Medicare's new Chronic Care Management billing code - CPT 99490 - - we're talking to you!
The code is a great way to improve care for Medicare patients with two or more chronic illnesses, while boosting patient satisfaction and medical practice workflow and providing doctor and patient 24/7 access to regularly updated care plans and medical records, with the option for administrative help from third-party providers.
Sounds expensive, but it's not: CareSync, the market leader in Chronic Care Management services for healthcare providers, patients and caregivers, charges less than Medicare's reimbursement level.
You really need to do this! But we totally get why you haven't. The language of CPT 99490 doesn't make for easy reading. Lucky for you, we've got a handy guide to each section of the code, complete with translations from gov-speak into language that makes sense to any medical professional, medical practice manager or administrator.
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS.gov) put out this code as a way to help care for chronic illnesses, and it's a smart move: 85% of the healthcare spend goes to treating chronic illnesses, and two-thirds of Medicare dollars are spent on patients with 5+ chronic conditions. Chronic illnesses are common, and very costly.
Doctors, medical practice administrators: you've probably heard by now about the Chronic Care Management billing code from The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). It's overwhelmingly likely that you are already providing care coordination services for Medicare patients with two or more chronic conditions.
It's also likely, unfortunately, that you still haven't figured out how to get paid for it. Medical practices really can participate in Medicare's Chronic Care Management program and improve patient care without drowning in added paperwork and red tape.
The Billing Code .Medicare's Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) code 99490 pays, on average, $43 per month to health care providers who deliver 20 or more minutes of non face-to-face chronic care coordination (among other requirements) to eligible Medicare beneficiaries with 2 or more chronic conditions.
How Much Revenue will Chronic Care Management Bring You?
As we approach the end of the third month of the new Chronic Care Management code, it's really hard not to reflect on the financial impact of the Medicare initiative. And for nearly every provider we're working with, it's been significant.

Q: How to access body of payload for a camel-cxf endpoint I have my CXF based Jax-WS webservice and trying to read Payload of request.
I have org.apache.camel.component.cxf.CxfEndpoint whose Dataformat I am setting to Payload.
I am making call to this Service with POST method with body as Soap envelope as follows.
   <soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:loc="http://www.csapi.org/schema/parlayx/terminal_location/v2_0/local">
   <soapenv:Header/>
   <soapenv:Body>
      <loc:getLocation>
         <loc:address>tel:+948420161525</loc:address>
         <loc:requestedAccuracy>500</loc:requestedAccuracy>
         <loc:acceptableAccuracy>500</loc:acceptableAccuracy>
      </loc:getLocation>
   </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

Here body is representation of GetLocation object of ParlayX protocol.
In my class, I receive CxfPayload object. I want to retrieve address and requestedAccuracy from the Payload body.
I tried to extract required data from getBodySources() and getBody() methods of CxfPayload. But could not succeed. I don't see the required data in the object.
I referred some examples from link but could not succeed too.
Any idea how I can extract body data of payload ?

A: There are a few ways you can do this. For example you can unmarshal it into a POJO and access it using Java methods. Or if you just want a few values from the payload, you can simply use XPath:
<setHeader headerName="address">
  <xpath>//loc:address/text()</xpath>
</setHeader>

Which sets the address in the address header.
Edit:
To use xpath on your payload in Java, something like this should do the trick:
DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder builder;
builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
Document document = builder.parse(new InputSource(new StringReader(BODY_IN_STRING)));
XPath xPath = XPathFactory.newInstance().newXPath();

String address = xPath.evaluate("//loc:address/text()", document));

Border Patrol agents seize record amount of drugs in November, apprehensions also increase
(The Center Square) – U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers apprehended more people in November than October and confiscated a record amount of drugs last month, according to its latest operational report.
In November at the southern border, encounters with unaccompanied minors increased by 9% from October, with family units by 5%, and with single adults also by 5%.
The number of unique encounters, meaning people who were apprehended for the first time by CBP agents, showed a 10% increase from October.
Nationwide, drug seizures were up 90% in November over the prior month.
CBP credits the large number of foreign nationals making multiple illegal border crossings last month "to the large number of expulsions during the pandemic," suggesting that the total number of encounters "somewhat overstate the number of unique individuals arriving at the border."
In November, a total of 173,620 people were encountered by CBP agents, of which 127,653 were unique encounters – meaning nearly 46,000 encounters were of individuals attempting to enter more than once.
Of those attempting to enter more than once, 25% had at least one prior encounter in the past 12 months, compared to an average one-year re-encounter rate of 13% over a five-year period (FY2014-2019), CBP reports.
Of the number of people encountered in November, 87,341 were processed for expulsion under Title 42, the majority of which were 75,955 individuals. CBP reports that 86,279 people were processed for expulsion under Title 8.
Family units were also deported. CBP reports that 11,155 family unit individuals were processed for expulsion under Title 42; 33,784 were processed for expulsion under Title 8.
The number of encounters of family unit individuals increased by 5%, from 42,795 in October to 44,939 in November, which was roughly half the peak of August encounters of 86,631.
The number of unaccompanied children illegally crossing the border in November was 13,959, a 9% increase from October, when 12,783 unaccompanied minors came through.
In November, the average number of unaccompanied children in CBP custody was 962 per day, compared with an average of 595 per day in October.
CBP's credits the 90% increase in drug seizures last month to an "efficient layered enforcement approach." Using various technologies, inspections, canine sweeps, and secondary exams, agents were able to thwart criminal activity, CBP says.
CBP reports that cocaine seizures increased by 41%, methamphetamine seizures increased by 164%, and fentanyl seizures increased by 7%. By contrast, heroin seizures decreased by 12%.
In 2021, CBP agents confiscated 319,447 pounds of marijuana, 190,861 pounds of methamphetamine, 97,638 pounds of cocaine, 202,820 pounds of khat (a stimulant that comes from a plant), and 73,872 pounds of other drugs, including prescription, chemical and other uncategorized drugs.
In November, CBP also processed more than 3.3 million entry summaries valued at more than $270 billion, identifying estimated duties of nearly $8.7 billion to be collected by the U.S. government. Agents also seized nearly 1,545 shipments that contained counterfeit goods valued at more than $335 million.

John McCain protege, wanted criminal, and former Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili has now been appointed governor of Odessa. More criminal, oligarchs in positions of power in Ukraine…this will end badly for sure.
The protege of American war monger neocon John McCain, was at one point hiding out in Williamsburg, New York, wanted in his hime country of Georgia for embezzlement, abuse of power and politically-motivated attacks.
In 2008, Saakashvili launched a catastrophic war against the breakaway province of South Ossetia. Eventually Russian peace-enforcement troops crushed his forces.
The embarrassment of this military defeat, coupled with economic stagnation (Saakashvili tenure as President oversaw a 16% unemployment rate in Georgia), made him a hated man with most Georgians.
Mikheil Saakashvili has now joined up with the rest of the US puppet criminals running Ukraine into the ground.
The leader of Georgia's parliament, Davit Saganelidze expressed his sympathy to the people of Ukraine over Mikhail Saakashvili's appointment as governor of Odessa, calling it a "serious mistake".
"I sympathize with the Ukrainian people, who are very near and dear to my heart, and especially to the people of Odessa," Saganelidze added, commenting on Saturday's announcement by Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko that he had appointed Saakashvili governor of the southern region.
Commenting on his long-standing opposition to Saakashvili, Saganelidze noted that he was convinced that Ukrainians would soon come to know Saakashvili for who he really is. "When Saakashvili broke into the hall of parliament in 2003, I was against it, the PM noted.
"At that time, many had criticized me for failing to stand with him, but I insisted that this deranged person will not bring the country any good. It is likely that [some] years will likely pass, and the Ukrainian people will become convinced of this, just as happened in the case of the Georgian people," Saganelidze added.
Saakashvili, appointed Saturday, noted that he would like to see Odessa become the "capital of the Black Sea." For his part, Poroshenko stated that among Saakashvili's main tasks will be fighting oligarchy and corruption. Saakashvili has been a fugitive from justice in Georgia since 2013, after Georgian prosecutors charged him numerous charges, from abuse of power to misappropriation of funds to over $5 million in embezzlement charges.
Georgia has repeatedly asked Ukraine to extradite Saakashvili, who was appointed as an advisor to the Ukrainian government earlier this year. The country has also tried, unsuccessfully, to get the ex-president on Interpol's wanted list.

Q: Cannot post my php file, using xampp I'm trying to set up an HTML contact form on my website that will use PHP to send the information entered into the form to my email address.
Unfortunately, I keep getting an error that says Cannot POST /form.php and I can't figure out why.
I looked through similar questions that were asked here on StackExchange and the number one cause seemed to be that the PHP file wasn't in the same folder as the index.html file. However, both of my files are in the same folder; newwebsite/index.html and newwebsite/form.php.
So, why could this be happening?
Here's my index.html form:
<form method='post' action='form.php'>
                Name:
                <input type='text' name='vistorName' id='form-name' placeholder="Type your name.." required>

                Email:
                <input type='email' name='vistorEmail' id='form-email' placeholder="Type your email.." required>

                Msg:
                <textarea type='text' name='vistorMsg' id='form-msg' placeholder="Type your message here..." required></textarea>

                <input type='submit' action="submit" value='Submit' id='submit-button' required>

            </form>

And here's my form.php file:
<?php
    //Pulling values that were entered into the form.

}

{
    echo "Bad email value!";
    exit;
}

?>

//HTML confirmation that message was sent.

Your email has been sent. Thank-you!

A: With a few modifications, your code worked on my server.
Per Akintunde's comment, your form has typos in the field names:

<form method='post' action='form.php'>
                Name:
                <input type='text' name='visitorName' id='form-name' placeholder="Type your name.." required>

            Email:
            <input type='email' name='visitorEmail' id='form-email' placeholder="Type your email.." required>

            Msg:
            <textarea type='text' name='visitorMsg' id='form-msg' placeholder="Type your message here..." required></textarea>

            <input type='submit' action="submit" value='Submit' id='submit-button' required>

        </form>

Your "form.php" checks the e-mail address after attempting to send the e-mail.  Also, html comments are identified differently than php comments. I made those two changes.

One of my favorite things about Spring is buying some new, fun, Spring clothes for my kids. My oldest is so cute in all of her different Spring clothes. My husband and I, however, can be pretty strict on the types of clothes we put on our kids. For instance, I hate animal print and my husband doesn't like them having tv show characters on their clothes. There are always plenty of options for cute, classy, outfits for toddler girls. Here are some of my favorite.
I've always had a love for simple and classic dresses. I, myself, don't wear dresses often but my daughter loves them. This is such a beautiful, classic dress for little girls. FIND IT HERE.
This dark blue party dress is another beautiful classic party dress. I especially love the little red bow. FIND IT HERE.
This is a great butterfly print rain coat. Where I live this is a must this time of year. It starts warming up but it is raining most the time. FIND IT HERE.
My husband and I are tall and it already looks like our kids are going to be tall. I've always loved the look of maxi dresses on tall women, they are even more cute on tall girls. I love this floral maxi dress. FIND IT HERE.
There's nothing better for hot Spring and Summer days then a simple tank top. These are great, simple, and light tank tops. FIND IT HERE.
I love a cute casual dress for my daughter. I really love these very simple designs and patterns. FIND IT HERE.
I love Carter's baby and toddler clothes. I have bought my daughter all kinds of these playwear sets. They are always cute, matching, outfits. FIND IT HERE.
I have seen this outfit over and over again and cannot get over how cute it is, especially the skirt. FIND IT HERE.
Blouse, shorts, and belt outfit set. Cute, classic, and fun for Spring and Summer. FIND IT HERE.
Great choices! The love shirt with the floral skirt is really cute!
These are the cutest outfits!! That last 3 piece outfit is so cute and I want it in adult size for myself haha!
Adorable list of dresses for girls! I have two little girls and I want the floral skirt outfit for them. So cute!
These are So cute! I especially love the blue and red… and the shorts and blouse.
I really like the real dress! They are all really cute though. I have a boy but I can see why people with girls spend so much more on clothes!


MEMPHIS DEPAY: "I FELT THAT I HAD TO COME TO OLYMPIQUE LYONNAIS"
With Jean-Michel Aulas and Bruno Genesio at his side, Olympique Lyonnais' new recruit, Memphis Depay, was officially presented to the press on Friday afternoon at the Groupama OL Training Centre.
"I feel very pleased to sign for Olympique Lyonnais. I want to thank everyone for giving me the chance to sign here. There were several interested clubs. My agent told me that he had a good feeling about OL. I believed him and that's why I wanted to sign here. The coach, the president... everyone wanted me to come here, so I feel confident. I felt that I had to come here, there's a common interest. Lyon's a great club with a great history and those are factors that made me decide to come here. I know that Lyon have previously been champions seven years in a row and that the club has often played in the Champions League. OL is a great club, I follow all the leagues and I know this team. The deal has taken a long time to go through and it's normal that there is pressure. But I came here to get my confidence back. I'm young and I wanted to come into this great side. At the moment, I feel good. I know that the next match is important and I hope I can take part in it. I need a bit of practice to get my full fitness back; I'm ready and I will train. My arrival here is not about getting revenge for what happened in Manchester. I want to show what I'm capable of. At United I trained and developed alongside some great players. I learned a lot from them. I want to score goals and enjoy playing football in this Parc OL that is truly magnificent. I'm excited at the idea of playing in this beautiful stadium. It's a welcome challenge for me. I'll play where the coach wants me to. My best position is on the left, but I can play in several positions."
"This is a great day. Memphis has come to sign a four-a-half-year contract with the club. This was the priority. He's a great player, a Holland international. He fits the profile the club were looking for. We have a lot of belief in him and his ability. This transfer demonstrates OL's ambition to grow. The deal was complicated, but we're happy. It's a straight transfer of €16M, and with incentives included it goes up another €6M. He has a unique history that will now include Lyon. OL is moving into a new era of satisfying our fans with pleasure and enjoyment. We try to stay at the highest level with the Academy, the training centre and the Parc OL. We will do our best to make the most of our infrastructure by trying to keep our best players that we've developed and by taking young high-end players who are capable of flourishing at Olympique Lyonnais with the objective of winning the Champions League."
"Our desire to reinforce our attacking options has grown. Florian Maurice and I have considered the signing of Memphis and have made it our priority. He's a world-class player who has shown all of his qualities and all of his potential. We will try to settle him into the side as quickly as possible. We knew the player, but the relationship we had with him, the impression that we immediately had, encouraged us to put our faith in him. Our first meeting we had with him was good and I'm pleased to have him among us."

Earthquake hits the UK for the second time in two weeks
Just 11 days after earthquake in Wales was felt across Bristol
Jane Lavender
Luke BeardsworthDigital Editor
An earthquake has hit the UK for the second time in less than two weeks.
Tremors were felt across Cumbria for around 20 seconds as people reported their homes shaking in the quake at just after 7:30am.
The British Geological Survey said the earthquake had been record as a 3.2 tremor with the epicentre in Mosser, about 3.5 miles from Cockermouth.
This is 130 times smaller than the earthquake in Wales on February 17. In that instance, it was felt across Bristol with people as far north as Preston reporting that they felt it.
This type of event is not as rare as the one in Wales - experts say earthquakes of this size occur about twice a year in the UK.
Brian Baptie, a seismologist with the British Geological Survey, said the earthquake was not a sign the UK was being hit by more tremors.
Footage catches exact moment Wales earthquake struck before it sent tremors throughout Bristol
He said: "People will have been able to feel moderate shaking, some rattling and windows shaking. We wouldn't expect there to have been any significant damage.
A similar size earthquake hit Consiton in Cumbria in 2010, with a 3.5 tremor being felt in Ulverston in 2009.
Tremor recorded on the British Geological Survey (Image: (Image: BGS.ac.uk))
The biggest earthquake recorded in Cumbria was record in 1786 and measured 5 and caused significant damage across the county.
The UK's biggest earthquake happened in 1931 on the east coast and measured a whopping 6.1.
Bristol's most hilarious reactions to THE earthquake after 'end of the world' KFC closures
The county has also been hit by heavy snow, with up to 13cm falling in some parts of Cumbria.
Many roads are closed as weather forecasters warn more snow is on its way as the Beast of the East causes chaos.
And in some parts of Cumbria the wind chill means temperatures have dropped to minus 25C.
An amber weather warning is in place for the east of the county while the rest has been put under a yellow warning.
The whole of the M6 motorway, which links Cumbria to Scotland is also said to be in a "poor condition" and there have been several crashes reported.
Remembering the last major Wales earthquake to be felt in Bristol
Earlier this month Swansea in Wales was rocked by a 4.4 tremor, with people saying "the ground moved" and buildings shook.
The tiny village of Cwmllynfell was the epicentre of the earthquake on February 17.
At 2.30pm Cwmllynfell, just outside of Neath with its postcard views of the Black Mountains, was the first part of the UK to feel 4.4 quake.
It was the biggest onshore UK event in 10 years, since the earthquake in Market Rasen on February 27, 2008.
The British Geological Survey said in a tweet that the magnitude was 4.4 and the epicentre was about 12 miles north-northeast of Swansea, at a depth of about 4.5 miles.
The earthquake
Everything we know
The exact location it struck and why
LARGEST in the UK in over 10 years
People speak of shock
The earthquake was felt by as many as 10 million Brits as far away as 200 miles from the epicentre in Cwmllynfell, and it was the strongest in South Wales in more than 100 years.
The earthquake was followed by two aftershocks.
The British Geological Survey confirmed that the first was felt at 3.09pm and had a magnitude of 1.2.
The second was a little larger, with a magnitude of 1.5, which occurred at 4.27pm.

The gross monthly salary was €3000. The first step is to calculate the transition

The calculation method for the gross monthly salary (as laid down in the Decree concerning Wage Definition relating to Compensation for Notice Period and Transition Allowance (Besluit loonbegrip vergoeding aanzegtermijn en transitievergoeding en de Regeling looncomponenten en arbeidsduur) will be maintained. The transition payment can be calculated, following the two steps below (which new formula is added to the Decree concerning the Wage Definition (see the proposed changes to the decree)).

Transitory law applies for dismissals initiated in 2019 If (i) dismissal proceedings have been initiated in 2019 before the Employee Insurance Agency (UWV) or the court, (ii) notice of termination has been given in 2019 or (iii) the employee has agreed to his or her resignation in 2019, the current calculation method will still apply. If one of the parties subsequently lodges an appeal in dismissal proceedings in 2020, the new calculation method will then apply. The possibility to deduct costs from the transition payment is broader As from 1 January 2020, employers may deduct from the transitional payment any costs that were incurred to promote the employeeâ€™s knowledge and skills when taking on a different position within the employerâ€™s organisation. The other conditions for deducting costs, as contained in the Conditions for Deducting Costs from Transition Payments Decree (Besluit voorwaarden in mindering brengen kosten op transitievergoeding) continue to apply.

The offer must be made by the employer in the thirteenth month The employee then has one month in which to accept the offer, but may also turn down the offer and continue to work a flexible number of hours. If the employee does not accept the offer, the employer must make an offer again after twelve months. An offer made remains valid if the employee leaves the employer's employment and takes up employment again with the employer within a period of six months. If an employer does not make an offer, the employee is entitled to wages not received from the moment that the employer should have made the offer, assuming the average number of working hours in the previous 12 months of the employment, and possibly the applicable statutory increase.

This interval of six months remains unchanged, but the WAB makes it possible to deviate from this in the CAO, where the interval can be reduced to three months if the nature of the work so demands. That is the case with recurring temporary work that can only be performed for a maximum of nine months. In primary education, temporary employment contracts are exempt from the ketenregeling where it concerns supply teachers replacing a teacher due to illness.

In order to determine whether the posting is exclusive, at any rate the oral and written agreements, the duration of the posting and the relationship between the payroll employee and the hirer concerning practical matters such as holiday and involvement in personnel policy such as job appraisal interviews will be considered. Incidentally, each individual will be assessed to see whether payrolling or agency work applies; after all, a business can perform various different activities.

Mandibular stock trays will sit on top of large mandibular tori, or at best scrape the lingual tissue covering the tori during the impression, again resulting in complications during the impressioning phase for any application. In the past, solutions included cutting down the lingual flanges to make them end superior to the mandibular torus, or to take a preliminary impression which was not seated fully and then from the model fabricated, make a custom tray and re-impress. Clinicians have also attempted to use maxillary trays to impress lower arches, however it is difficult if not impossible to retract the tongue to accomplish this procedure. Yung-tsung has suggested taking a maxillary tray, cutting out the palatal portion and adding utility wax to create a tray that will capture lingual tori. Until now, there has not been an easy solution for satisfactorily modifying a stock tray to impress a maxillary tuberosity, unless one removes the centre of a plastic tray, and most often it required a first impression doing the best one could clinically, and then following with a final impression utilizing a custom tray fabricated from the initial model.
The clinical challenges that face the dental practitioner when attempting to impress these bony exostoses or dental mal-positions have now been solved. New heat Customizable Impression Trays from CLINICIAN'S CHOICE® represent a noteworthy evolution in impression trays, by taking truly anatomically designed trays and adding the ability to self customize chair- side. The result is a precise fit with vertical drive that rivals that of a custom tray (but without the inconvenience and cost involved to make a custom tray) for perfectly precise impressions every time.
A new disposable heat mouldable tray (HeatWave, Clinician's Choice/Clinical Research Dental) uses a biopearl modified polyactic acid-derived, extremely stiff, and inflexible plastic material. With heat moudable tray, the clinician can easily self-customize the thermoplastic trays by hand after immersing them in water for 60 seconds at 70oC/158oF. The tray can then be shaped by hand and moulded to a patient's particular arch size and contour. After adaption, the tray will assume its normal rigidity at room temperature or by running under cold water, allowing for a precision impression.
The ability to adapt the tray chair-side provides a significant advantage for all full arch impressions, and specifically in cases where exostoses, tori and mal-positioned teeth are present and stock trays cannot seat properly, thereby inhibiting the ability to capture accurate detail. This unique mouldable feature allows for softening of the palate to indent the tray to make room for maxillary torus or to expand the buccal flanges of the upper tray to work around large tori, maxillary exostoses or labially displaced teeth. For this mandibular case, the presence of a torus, (or lingually displaced tooth such as a second premolar) is no longer an obstacle to obtaining an exquisite mandibular impression. After heating the tray the lingual flanges can be moulded to any position so as to be positioned to accommodate the exostosis or mal-positioned tooth. Heat mouldable trays also eliminate the patient discomfort caused when stock trays get caught up on bony anatomical variances.
Because heat mouldable trays provide a better, more anatomical fit, impression space is limited which means you'll also use less impression material, similar to a custom tray technique. Moreover, this precise fit creates optimal dynamic pressure around the arch during insertion which greatly reduces the risk of impression distortion.
Heat Customizable Impression Trays are available in 4 upper and 4 lower sizes and are designed to accommodate square, round, or gothic shaped arches. The ability to customize the tray limits the sizes needed thereby reducing inventory. A unique caliper measuring system, measures both arch width and angle, allowing for easy selection of the ideal sized tray thus drastically reducing tray selection time. There are also heat customizable quadrant impression trays in the current market. While the use of a full-arch impression tray is essential to the success of complex or multiple restorations, the use of a quadrant impression tray can be acceptable, and even advantageous, in simpler cases where only one quadrant is involved. In these cases, a quadrant tray may provide greater patient comfort, specifically to those patients with gagging tendencies, while also reducing the amount of impression material required, and overall procedure costs. Until now, quadrant trays have presented challenges to the clinician. Their standardized designs simply were not developed to accommodate the varying arch shapes and widths that present in clinical situations. Further, when compared to a full arch tray, many plastic quadrant trays do not offer the degree of support and stability required to prevent impression distortion and inaccuracies. With the introduction of the new heat customizable quadrant impression tray, these clinical challenges have been eliminated.
