Independent performance media agency MC&C plans to use capital raised from investment by private equity house Key Capital Partners to go global.
The new group comprises MC&C London, MC&C Muse and the newly-formed MC&C International. The group will trade internationally under MC&C International and will be headquartered in London under the leadership of a soon-to-be-appointed managing director.
This will formalise a hitherto informal global network built through global clients, which include Unicef and WaterAid. This currently represents 7% of the group's revenues and the new global network will allow the group to scale through partners.
"To date, we've used London as a base and have been flying people into countries and using local partners that are independent, owner-managed performance media agencies like us – of which we have 19," Mike Colling, founder of MC&C, said.
The investment money will be used to hire talent to service and build MC&C's data and technological offerings from London to across North America, Europe, Middle East and Asia, he added.
"We will also need to understand if the affiliate model we have at the moment is the only model, or if we will choose to invest in our own offices in other territories," Colling said.
Key Capital Partners' partner Mike Fell joins a new group executive board as a non-executive director, joining Colling, executive chairman Steve Booth, UK managing director Mark Jackson, and deputy managing director Robin Trust.
The growth capital will be used to grow headcount, invest in operational technology, potential acquisitions and international growth.
Colling added that beyond the investment capital, Key Capital Partners Capital to invest in tech but also expertise; "They are an SMB accelerator. There are a number of examples where they have helped businesses in which they've taken a stake in to successfully use tech to gain a competitive advantage."
Earlier this month, the group hired Toby Strangewood from Maxus where he was group strategy director as its chief strategy officer. MC&C also appointed Richard Stanton, who joined from MEC where he was head of digital planning, as its chief digital officer.
The group has created two further roles under a new operational structure, the aforementioned international menaging director and a head of social. These roles will be announced in the coming months.
"Our new-look management team blends the experience that's helped us double the business in three years, with fresh thinking from some of the sharpest performance media minds in the business," Mark Jackson, managing director of MC&C London, said. "As equity partners we're all invested in the long-term future of the business as we set out to build the world's leading independent performance media network."


By most calendars, a decade isn't a long time in the grand scheme of things — except on the automotive calendar, where it is nearly an eternity. Aside from some extreme cases, a decade encompasses at least two vehicle generations. It's the average amount of time a typical consumer keeps a newly purchased car. It can also be the difference between also-ran and champion.
won by offering an unbeatable combination of style, refinement, handling, and value. We put BMW on notice: The Japanese have done it better. The Cadillac CTS, meanwhile, was barely mentioned, and praised only for its bold new design.
Welcome to 11 years later. In the intervening time, the CTS evolved into a champion in its own right, and was named Car of the Year in 2008. Again, we put Germany on notice: America's coming. In neither of those victories, though, did either car face down its competition for the title. That's what makes this year different.
The Infiniti Q50 — the G35's modern successor — is hobbled with driveability issues and relegated to Contender, not Finalist, and certainly not Winner. Likewise missing from the Finalist and Winner's circles are the BMW 5 Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class, both direct competitors to the CTS, and the standard-bearers of the segment.
Since its inception, the Cadillac CTS has been synonymous with design. The car was polarizing from the start, imitating no one and rarely imitating itself. By the time the second-generation car arrived in 2008, people were starting to wonder if Cadillac's Art and Science design theme had staying power. That car made the original look incredibly dated. At the end of 2013, many were asking the same question: Can Cadillac keep this thing going, or has it played out? This new car leaves no question. Art and Science is as relevant and trend-busting as it's ever been; moreover, it has once again successfully evolved in order to remain contemporary and competitive well into the foreseeable future.
The CTS is blessed with the size necessary to properly compete in the E/5 segment, and Cadillac's designers accentuated the added length with a long dash-to-axle ratio and proper forward-leaning, rear-drive proportions. The stretch is elegant and light, giving the car presence without adding visual weight. It looks purposeful, not chunky. The signature achievement is the successful extension of the "light blade," as Cadillac calls it, up the front fender and down into the front fascia, creating an unmistakable look as easily identifiable in a rearview mirror as when you're standing in front of it.
The theme carries over to the interior, with defined creases and angles throughout. It's clearly Cadillac, but not a carbon copy of the related ATS, instead offering its own, more elegant take. The layout is clean and simple but appears busy on close inspection, hindered by too many trim and accent elements colliding. The design extends to an optional all-digital TFT display that replaces the analog gauges and offers crisp, coherently designed and reconfigurable graphics.
The most surprising engine is the turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder (CTS4), which offers class-leading power with competitive fuel economy. In our own Real MPG testing, it returned 20/30 city/hwy mpg despite running a six-speed automatic to the competition's seven- and eight-speed gearboxes.
It's a similar case with the V-6 CTS models, which run a new eight-speed automatic transmission. Both the naturally aspirated and twin-turbo models offer power and fuel economy directly in line with the competition. The twin-turbo Vsport takes it a step further by beating the Germans' twin-turbo V-8s in performance at the same time. Those two models returned 18/32 mpg and 20/27 mpg respectively in our Real MPG testing.
Pity the engineer who must make the most out of an existing, compromised design. Envy the one given a good design as a starting point. Cadillac had the good fortune to design the new Alpha vehicle platform to be a world-beater from the start, and every lesson learned on the ATS — the first Alpha car — was improved upon for the CTS.
The result is an absolutely fantastic chassis. To start, it's hundreds of pounds lighter than the competition while matching those vehicles in size, leading to advantages in performance, handling, and relative efficiency. These reveal themselves on the road and the track. On imperfect pavement, the magnetically damped CTS rides as well as any in the class, if slightly too firm, while remaining light and nimble on a challenging road. The chassis stays composed and effortlessly responsive in curves thanks to brilliant body control and direct, lively steering. On the track, the CTS matches or dispatches its segment rivals across trim levels in performance testing while offering competitive fuel economy on the road.
The CTS' intended function was to take the fight to BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Audi — and win. And it has.
More than just a great performer, the CTS is a refined commuter. Noise, vibration, and harshness from the powertrain and suspension are notably absent, with only the slap of the tires to remind you of the world outside. If the car falters anywhere in this category, it's in the haptic, touch-sensitive climate and infotainment controls, which require a deliberate touch and can be slow to react.
If it's not obvious yet, the CTS' intended function is to take the fight to BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Audi — and win. It had to beat them on style, on performance, on comfort, and on quality. It has.
In this year's competition, the CTS was forced to directly face down its strongest rivals. Present and fighting for the Calipers were both the BMW 5 Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class, the old guard of the segment and of luxury vehicles. The CTS demonstrated superior advancement in design, performance, handling, and experience over the other two. The CTS' ride and handling compromise was unmatched, as were cabin noise and isolation. Were the Cadillac to give ground, it would only be on rear-seat space.
Flagship vehicles and halo cars tend to get the most attention, as they're designed to, and Cadillac is itching to enter that segment. (We're eager to see a Sixteen or Elmiraj hit the bricks.) But before it can, it must earn its stripes with legitimate C- and E-Class competitors. The ATS and CTS are getting that done.
The new CTS offers a full suite of passive and active safety equipment. Front, front side, front knee, rear side, and front and rear curtain airbags are standard on all models, as is OnStar with Automatic Crash Response. Optional safety features include all-wheel drive, collision warning, lane-departure warning, automatic crash preparations, automatic braking, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, a head-up display, automatic wipers and headlights, backup camera, automatic parking, and the vibrating Safety Alert Seat.
In National Highway Traffic Safety Administration crash testing, the 2013 CTS received 5-star ratings in front and side impacts and 4 stars in rollover tests, culminating in a 5-star overall rating. The 2013s received all top scores of Good from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. Neither organization has tested the 2014 model. The Cadillac ATS is built on a compact version of the same architecture as the new CTS and it got 5-Star ratings across the board from the NHTSA.
In simple mathematics, the Cadillac CTS makes an obvious value play by pricing its base model well below the starting price of its competitors at $46,025. It likewise prices the impressively high-performing Vsport model below the V-8 competition, while the standard, mid-level V-6 model competes head to head on price. That Vsport model is perhaps the greatest bargain, offering the same all-around driving performance and experience as some specialty M or AMG models at lower cost than their base V-8 models.
Cadillac has properly embraced the competitor's pricing and configuration model. By decoupling the features and price tag from the engine, Cadillac offers its customers a great range of combinations. Allowing the customer to spec the "base" four-cylinder engine with top-shelf Magnaride adaptive suspension, premium interior, and a full suite of technological features while simultaneously allowing a gearhead to spec a Vsport model without a single option gives the buyer flexibility and personalization options that keep him in the showroom and have a proven track record of increasing profits. If the customer wants to spend $69,000 on a loaded four-cylinder car, Cadillac shouldn't and won't stand in his way. Giving customers what they want is of immeasurable value.
Here's how we think they'll do it: Forced induction V-8s rule this class, so we expect a supercharged version of the Corvette's direct-injection V-8 making 600 hp, for bragging rights. It will likely be backed by a seven-speed manual and quick-shifting eight-speed automatic, with a dual-clutch later down the line. Expect launch control as well. The Vsport's magnetic shocks and electronically controlled differential will be retuned for greater performance. Sticky tires, lightweight wheels, and other components will improve performance, as will increased aerodynamic downforce. Performance apps and a data recorder will allow you to record, play back, and share your track laps with video.

van Essen, Frank - Sanctum
Written by Bert Saraco
Created: 14 December 2018
Frank van Essen has brought the yin and yang of percussion and melody together in a breathtaking musical alchemy that produces sound-pictures for the contemplative heart…
https://frankvanessen.bandcamp.com
7 tracks / 55:46
From the first haunting strains of "Labyrinth" you know you're listening to something special. Frank van Essen's Sanctum is well-titled. The word has several meanings but most importantly implies a private place, a sacred area – a shrine, a temple, a church. Don't make the mistake of thinking that this is 'ambient' music meant to fill background spaces – far from it. The music is well-suited to bring you to contemplation but is also full of fire, passion, and melodic exploration. It's as if van Essen has brought the yin and yang of percussion and melody together in a breathtaking musical alchemy that produces sound-pictures for the contemplative heart.
To try to describe the songs would be futile – each song is a wordless journey with melody, tempo, and textural changes designed to speak to the soul. This is music designed to communicate on levels beyond hooks, choruses, and musical excesses. Some will call it prog, others, yes – ambient, some perhaps New Age. What does need to be understood about this music, though, is that it's thoughtfully composed and magnificently performed.
That Frank van Essen can be both thunder (drums) and flowing water (violin) is amazing enough – but the power of his percussion and the sweetness of his tone on violin are almost startling. No less eloquent and masterful are his supporting players: former Iona bandmate Dave Bainbridge gives his usual transcendent performance on acoustic and electric guitars, bouzouki, mandolin and keyboards; Jimmy Johnson and Mark Dekkers trade off on various tracks playing bass; Jan Peter Beijersbergen adds additional guitar work; Jonas Pap plays cello, Sjoerd Visser plays soprano and alto sax, whistles and duclar, and Troy Donockley contributes low and high whistles, uilleann pipes and bouzouki.
All tracks composed and arranged by Frank van Essen except "Introspection" and "A Million Stars," which are written by Frank van Essen and Dave Bainbridge.
We all need sanctum in our lives. May I strongly suggest that you consider buying a copy of Frank van Essen's Sanctum – especially if you're one that loves instrumental music that touches your spirit without neglecting to stimulate your mind and soul. When music is truly inspired, it shows – and this is a project where I believe the artist is trying to let you know what God has whispered into his heart. There can be little else as important for an artist to communicate as that.

Boon Edam to Participate in First Virtual GSX+ Event
Lillington, North Carolina, September 9, 2020 – Boon Edam Inc., a global leader in security entrances and architectural revolving doors, today announced that they will be exhibiting in the first virtual Global Security Exchange Plus (GSX+) conference, September 21-25, 2020. The company will be introducing a new optical turnstile, the Speedlane Compact, and will also be presenting an educational session about "Scalable Security" at the event.
This year, the ASIS International organization is presenting GSX+ as a fully virtual conference to provide the security industry with a forum to learn, network and collaborate in this pandemic year. With more than 80 educational sessions and a virtual Marketplace, GSX+ is offering attendees and exhibitors alike the same high level of community and education opportunities offered each year at the show, now from the safety of their own homes.
"We are excited to be participating in this groundbreaking event," said Tracie Thomas, Vice President of Marketing, Boon Edam USA. "We look forward to connecting with other security professionals to discuss how they can secure their facilities from unauthorized access and also adjust their entrances to accomodate COVID and 'return to work' planning."
New Compact Optical Turnstile for Smaller Spaces
In their Marketplace Profile, Boon Edam will be demonstrating their new Speedlane Compact optical turnstile, which recently won a 2020 Security Today New Product of the Year Award for "Pedestrian Security Entrances." The Compact is a shorter security barrier with the same level of security as larger optical turnstile models. It features swinging barriers, generous space for access control or biometric device integration, and tailgating, safety and low-object detection sensors – all in a compact footprint ideal for locations where interior space is at a premium.
Touchless Entry Without Compromising Security
As facilities look to re-open safely without compromising security, one of the most in-demand features right now is the touchless entry experience. In Boon Edam's Marketplace Profile attendees will discover which types of security entrance fit that need. Additionally, Boon Edam's Entry Experts will be present during the entire event to answer questions, and also available to meet via the GSX+ meeting platform for face-to-face discussions via video.
Subject-Matter Expert to Present Educational Webinar
Security entrances offer a wide degree of capabilities when it comes to addressing tailgating. Attendees can learn to identify the best entrance type for each area of their building in a 15-minute, Boon TV episode with special guest JC Powell, Vice President of Sales at Boon Edam. In the session, titled "Closing the Gap in Physical Security," JC shares the three basic capability levels of security entrances relative to tailgating mitigation and discusses which security entrances are the best choice for each objective.
To register for the event, Boon Edam invites all security professionals to visit https://www.boonedam.us/events/gsx-plus-virtual-2020 and receive a $50 USD credit towards an "All-Access" or "One Day" pass, or use the credit towards one "Marketplace-Only" pass.

Sunday we had birthday celebrations for Terry. No one gets out of listening to me sing on their birthday. It's a punishment all must endure. We had originally planned to attend the RV show in Portland. However, there were six of us and considering the cost of getting in and parking, we decided that really wasn't something we wanted to do. The party on the other hand was something we put our focus into. Just think we have two more of these coming up this weekend …. one for Sabrina and one for Robert. My vocal chords are going to get a workout for sure.
It's Official …. it isn't going to happen. We had a little trip east on our agenda … just a little one but it's not going to happen. Well, at least not right now. We know how to make reservations. We rarely make them because we usually end up having to cancel. I guess it's a good thing we write most of our plans in chalk. This time we didn't want to erase those plans but we've been busy doing just that. We've been busy canceling reservations. You can call us unhappy campers.
With plans changed our focus turned to trying to figure out exactly what WE want to do. We still need to get through the next couple of weeks with planned visitors (cousins) and appointments. Then, we're going to get out a little more chalk and a calendar to go to work on planning again. Our little community has a big meeting on the 28th but after that Terry said he's ready to start making tracks. However, who knows how far those tracks will take him …. 5 miles, 50 miles, 500 miles ??
According to our never-wrong weatherman, rain is in the forecast. Thursday the temperature will jump up to 80 but after that the mid-60's and intermittent rain seems to fill that forecast. Our plans are really getting dampened. Regardless of the weather we do know we are ready to get back into civilization.
Check out this little bench Tammi made out of blocks!
The replacement awning fabric we ordered arrived yesterday. We haven't picked it up or made plans yet for the installation of it. However, when we move the motorhome into town for the installation of it we won't be bringing the motorhome back to the cabin until next spring. It will be pointed towards the sunshine.
We discovered a cute little café right in North Portland. It's the Island Café. It was by accident we even discovered it. The cafe is on Hayden Island and sits on the dock with lots of boats and houseboats all around. It has great happy hour specials and a super friendly staff. We've had so much rotten luck lately with restaurants that we were pleased to discover this gem.
I am so sorry about your trip east. I sure had my fingers crossed for that one to happen. See you in the south.
Nice looking birthday cake - almost like a rocket!
Too bad about your trip cancellations but what can you do?
I'm not so sure that cement block sofa would be all that comfy to stretch out on.
Love the idea of the outdoor sofa. She is such a clever young lady.
Sorry to hear you have to change your plans, but you two always come up with something exciting to do. I am sure this will be no different.
Dang! Having to cancel the trip east is NOT good news. Hope Justin is doing well, anyway.
I can't begin to count how many times my plans were cancelled due to "Operational Necessity". Here's hoping that things may all get sorted out quickly and you can put those easterly travels back on the agenda.
The Happy birthday cake looks good can we have a pice for Suzie's birthday too?
Your plans are like ours written in chalk!

Jakarta - The need for the growth of big data confirmed the mounting has forced many businesses to adapt its infrastructure. The easiest option is to perform scale-out data center is used, but the costs involved would certainly high.
Alternatively, glancing business cloud computing technology. Especially now that has a lot of service providers `cloud` which offers a myriad of options, simply adjust the requirements.
But so far, to do cloud management platform generally users are forced to use management console that is limited to a cloud service provider has to offer.Typically, the perpetrator will combine IT with a closed platform made use of infrastructure vendors.
The advantage, users can easily perform consultations related problems that may occur in its operation. But the drawback, many users can not customize the platform that is used needs to remember are closed.
But Red Hat is known as a provider of open source solutions have thought differently. According to him, the concept of open source technology can also be implemented in the cloud. Red Hat hopes users are no longer constrained by a closed platform and can customize it wants as needed through an open platform system.
Called open hybrid cloud, Red Hat attempted to demonstrate that the hybrid cloud adaptation can also be performed using an open platform. The advantage was obvious, the user can freely develop a platform that suits your needs, while providing continuous improvisation related system requirements.
"Open the hybrid cloud is a concept of developing an open platform that allows users to develop their own cloud management platform as needed. Just like other open source-based system, the implementation of an open platform is certain to be able to reduce costs significantly, "said Damien Wong, GM RedHat ASEAN at Hotel Grand Hyatt, Jakarta, Thursday (10/10/2013).
For information, current cloud technology is offered in two options namely private and public cloud. Not a company that also has combined both to reduce operating costs.
"The advantage of using an open platform is the amount of support from the community, so there are any new issues or new improvisation, users can easily find out," said Gordon Haff, Cloud Evangelist RedHat Inc..
Security-related issues that often haunt the open source users, Wong said RedHat actually promote reliability in the security aspect. According to security issues can be more easily found the solution thanks to the open source community that has been solid.
"There is such a closed platform where users do not know what might be behind it, could have been contained malware targeting users of data. At its open platform even more knowing what is in it for them as well indirectly participated in developing them, "Wong pointed out.

Q: Need help with correlated subquery I have two PostgreSQL tables that each contain a column called date_of_incident.
They each also have a column called incident_id and this is how the tables are related.
I want to update all rows of table 1 by setting date_of_incident equal to date_of_incident from the corresponding row of table 2 where incident_id from table 1 equals incident_id from table 2.
Can anyone can give a sample UPDATE? I'd appreciate it.
incident_id is unique in both tables and it is how the tables are related, though not by foreign key or constraint (sadly).  I have the extra condition of status = closed.  The only complication is that table 1 has a trigger function on update and I need to examine to see how the SQL will affect things.

A: Postgres allows to join tables in an UPDATE statement:
update table_1
   set date_of_incident = t2.date_of_incident
from table_2 t2
where table_1.incident_id = t2.incident_id;

This assumes that incident_id is unique in both tables.

We have received many requests for dorm pricing, and here it is!
PLEASE NOTE: DORM ROOMS ARE LIMITED. IF YOU WANT TO GET ONE, REGISTER EARLY!
PLEASE NOTE: IF YOU CHOOSE NOT TO PURCHASE A MEAL PLAN, BUT WOULD LIKE TO USE CAMPUS FOOD OPTIONS, YOU CAN PURCHASE INDIVIDUAL MEALS (BY CREDIT CARD ONLY) IN BURGE OR HILLCREST.
I will go with my daughter to ITF. My daughter will join the youth workshop 11-14 july. May I know whether I could share a double room with my daughter in the adult dorm Petersen Hall ? Thanks.
May I also know when will the registration be available?
Eling: Thank you for your question! I do not know whether this will be allowable in terms of UI dorm policies. I will ask! Please email me at kmarston@trombonefestival.net, and we can discuss further.
My son and husband will be traveling from Texas to attend ITF. I would like to know if they can share a dorm room? Would it be better to purchase a non-trombonist registration for my husband or just single event tickets? This is the first time for them to attend and I just want to make sure we are getting everything done correctly. Thanks!
Hi Dawn – Unfortunately, the university does not allow minors to stay in the adult section of the dorms, so there is no way to put your husband and son in the same room. You do have the option of booking accommodations off campus. In that case, your husband would drop your son off each morning. If your husband would like to attend the event, then the non-trombonist ticket is the best option. Hope that helps!
How do I reserve a dorm room for the ITF? July 10-14. One single.
Stuart – Please email me directly at kmarston@trombonefestival.net.
The dorm has no more double rooms (I will be attending with my husband who is a trombone player) so he reserved a single room. How can we check if a double room opens up in the next two months and update our registration from single to double?
Hi! Please email me at kmarston@trombonefestival.net.

Hanoi reports first death from faster-spreading dengue fever in 2017
By Phuong Trang &nbspMay 22, 2017 | 11:32 pm PT
A total of 700 cases have been reported in the Vietnamese capital, twice the number from the same period last year.
A Vietnamese student has died from dengue fever in Hanoi, the first death attributed to the disease in the capital city so far this year.
The victim, a 19-year-old girl, was admitted to the Central Hospital for Tropical Diseases on May 14 with fever, diarrhea and septic shock, doctors said. She died shortly after being hospitalized.
A postmortem confirmed the girl had been infected with dengue hemorrhagic fever, according to the hospital.
The mosquito-borne disease is entrenched in tropical countries, but this year it has been spreading at a much faster pace.
Hanoi has reported 27 infections in the past two weeks, bringing the total number of contractions to 700 so far this year, double the number recorded in the same period last year, the Hanoi Preventive Medicine Center said. Most infections were spotted in the districts of Dong Da, Hoang Mai, Hai Ba Trung and Thanh Xuan, which have more ponds and lakes than the city's downtown.
In response, the city's Department of Health has directed medical units to prevent dengue fever from spreading, including raising local awareness and offering advice on how to take preventive measures.
Recommendations include destroying habitats where mosquitoes breed, ensuring a clean living environment, using mosquito-repellent and wearing long-sleeved shirts and pants. People displaying symptoms of the disease should seek medical attention immediately.
Vietnam is making efforts to find an effective way to tackle dengue fever, which is the biggest killer out of the 28 common infectious diseases present in the country and the world's fastest growing tropical disease.
There is currently no specific vaccine or treatment for dengue.

You can't talk to Martin Lawrence and not bring up classic episodes and characters from the Martin show that were your favorite.
That's precisely what Jimmy Fallon did when Lawrence visited The Tonight Show yesterday. He brought up Jerome and even had him do the impersonation for old time's sake, including the dance he did when he walked in the room.
He also spoke a bit about father hood and how he made his oldest daughter (she'll be attending Duke University in the Fall) watch his stand-up comedy special You So Crazy once she turned 18, but between her and his youngest, they don't watch the TV show as much, because of Disney and other shows on television.
Lawrence was there to talk about his upcoming TV show starring opposite Kelsey Grammar on FX called Partners, which will be about them being a pair of Chicago lawyers. Considering the dynamic and how different those two are, it should generate laughs.

WOMEN CREDIT UNION: The women have been going on well with their loaning program. The money received from Ebay boosted their kitty very well. The capacity building workshop held for the women groups has really motivated them and the results can be seen from their return reports.
THE YOUTH GROUP: The poultry project by Usoma Shiners youth group is still stable. The group now has 500 hens . This project was co–funded through FIOH-USA in 2013. The group plans to venture into fish farming by putting up a fish pond along Lake Victoria so as to preserve the rare species that are facing extinction due to use of poor fishing methods.
THE COW PROJECT: This is known as the Poor Man's Bank Initiative whereby we fund women groups to purchase dairy cows that they can easily manage and take care of. They are taught to use the wastes from the cow to practice organic farming in their gardens so as to help in nutrition. The little money they get from sale of milk is used for subsistence. So far, two groups have been funded and we have proposal for 4 more groups.
WELLS: The latest well in Wathorego Kibos is complete and is serving the residents well. All the other wells are in good working condition. The well was donated by a volunteer from USA at a cost of $3000. It serves approximately 300 households in this village with an average of 6 people per household. FIOH- K has identified 3 more villages that are in dire need of water i.e Mawego village, Seme Village and Alego. Both Geological and hydrological surveys have been carried out . We are looking for sponsors or donors to fund these projects. The wells that have been dug through donation from FIOH-USA have reached 20 in number.

KZRR (94.1 FM, "94 Rock") is a commercial radio station in Albuquerque, New Mexico, broadcasting to the Albuquerque-Santa Fe, New Mexico, area.  KZRR airs a mainstream rock radio format and is owned by iHeartMedia, Inc.  The radio studios and offices are in Northeast Albuquerque.

KZRR has an effective radiated power (ERP) of 22,500 watts.  The transmitter tower is atop Sandia Crest east of the city.  It broadcasts using HD Radio technology.  The HD-2 digital subchannel features an urban contemporary format, known as "Power 100.9"; that subchannel feeds 250 watt FM translator K265CA at 100.9 MHz.

Personalities
Weekday mornings feature Swami Rob, Skyler and Phil Mahoney.  Skyler also is heard in middays.  Ron "Big Rig" Michaels, voice-tracked from Tampa, hosts afternoon drive time.

History

Early years
On June 25, 1961, the station signed on as KDEF-FM, mostly simulcasting sister station KDEF (1150 AM). The station was initially heard from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m., but in May 1962, it began full-time broadcasting. In September 1962, KDEF-AM-FM were sold by owner Frank Quinn to a Philadelphia group.

Doubleday Broadcasting purchased the stations in 1965, and by about 1970, KDEF-FM was operated by the University of Albuquerque as a student run station. Media Horizons purchased the stations in 1973, and moved the studios from downtown to the northeast heights.

In March 1976, KDEF-FM was sold to Gaylord Broadcasting Co. for $150,000, and changed call letters to KRKE-FM.  That same call sign was used on 610 AM, which Gaylord had purchased in 1973. (KDEF AM was later sold to a different owner.) Plans also included moving the transmitter to Sandia Crest. The format on KRKE-FM was initially Modern Country. By the end of that year the format was listed as "Automated Rock" while a 1977

Rock format
Later in 1977, the station picked up the Abrams/Burkhart "Superstars" Album-oriented Rock format.  That was the first time the station began using the "94 Rock" moniker.

In January 1980, Gaylord sold KRKE AM-FM to the Journal Star station group for $4.5 million. In June, the call letters changed to KWXL still branded as "94 Rock". In March 1985, the stations were sold to Compass Communications. In April, the station changed its call letters back to KRKE-FM, intending to make station identification easier in morning and afternoon drive times, when it was simulcast with KRKE AM. The format was also changed to "Superstars II," with an emphasis on rock titles from the 1960s an 70s.  It also featured a Sunday morning jazz program intending to reach an older audience than KWXL's targeted 18-34 audience.

Switch to KZRR
In 1986, the stations were sold to Sandia Peak Broadcasters. In July, it changed to the current KZRR call sign, rebranding as "The New 94 Rock". KRKE AM changed to KZSS with an Adult Contemporary format, but in March 1988, it returned to simulcasting KZRR, citing problems of "public perception of the AM band".

In November 1986, the station began weekdays with morning "shock" radio show host TJ Trout. Trout was featured in nearly all billboard and television ads over the next couple of decades, helping keep station ratings high.  Trout retired in December 2011.

In 1993, Sandia Peak Broadcasters merged with Progressive Broadcasting which owned classic rock formatted KLSK 104.1 to become Twin Peaks Radio. By this time KZRR began to lean more on modern rock without completely changing to that format, promoting itself as "The Cutting Edge of Rock".

Trumper Communications
In 1996, Trumper Communications purchased KZRR, KZSS and KLSK, as well as modern rock KTEG (then on 107.9) and KHTZ. This also caused a legal dispute with TJ Trout, who sued the former owners when learning that his on-air name had been trademarked. Trout had resigned and had planned to start a new show on KKOB. Trumper resolved the issue by allowing Trout ownership of his name and remaining at KZRR. (Trout joined KKOB in 2019.)

Now clustered with classic rock and modern rock stations, the music format on KZRR had changed to playing mostly hard rock with an emphasis on music from the 1980s, 90s and early 2000s.  In 1999, KZRR was acquired by Clear Channel Communications.  Clear Channel changed in its name in 2014 to iHeartMedia, Inc.

Kevin Strootman confirms to Roma he wants to join Manchester United – report
Kevin Strootman has told Roma that he wants permission to talk with Manchester United over a potential move in January according to reports.
The 24-year-old is close to making a return for Roma having been sidelined with a cruciate knee ligament injury from last season which ruled him out of the World Cup.
Although Roma have publicly and vociferously insisted Strootman is not for sale at any price and will not be leaving Roma in the imminent future, as is always the case in football, any player is available at the right price.
Louis van Gaal's relationship with Strootman would certainly be a persuasive factor in any move to Old Trafford for the Dutch midfielder. Following Strootman's injury which ruled him out of the World Cup, Van Gaal adopted an entirely new 3-5-2 formation for Holland as he didn't feel there was anybody in the Dutch squad who could replace him.
During the summer, United brought in two new central midfielders in Daley Blind and Ander Herrera but with Champions League football expected to be back at Old Trafford next season, there is certainly a need for at least one to improve the options within the squad.
Regardless of the truth behind these current reports of Strootman telling Roma he wants to join, there is every chance United will make a move for Strootman because of how highly Van Gaal regards him. Whether or not Roma sell remains to be seen but it all depends on how well Strootman plays after returning from his serious injury.

PETALING JAYA, April 17 — If you're not a fan of bread pudding with custard, this recipe tutorial might just change your mind and make your day.
A 21-year-old vlogger's hilarious cooking demonstration has become a source of amusement for Malaysians on Twitter thanks to his fun take on the popular baked dessert.
The one-minute clip starts off with Azfar Herisyam greeting viewers on his cooking show accompanied by exaggerated gestures.
Azfar begins the first step of the recipe using leftover white bread.
"In a bowl greased with margarine, we need to break up the bread with triple talaq," Azfar said in jest, referencing the Islamic law that allows a man to legally annul his marriage by uttering the Arabic word for divorce thrice.
He then places all the wet ingredients in a bowl, mixing them in an over-the-top manner before soaking the bread in the mixture and baking it in the oven.
The comical clip, which was uploaded on Monday has been viewed over 67,000 times with over 4,900 retweets at the time of writing (4.11pm GMT+8).
Social media users flooded the comments section, applauding his infectious enthusiasm.
"I love this, thank you for making my day," wrote @aliarujhan.
"Good at dancing, good at cooking. I love the energy," @iamwanieee added.
OMG! I love your energy gurl!!
Some even rushed to the kitchen to test out the simple recipe.
While not much is known about Azfar, the vlogger clearly has a passion for cooking, evident in his Instagram page which is home to several recipe tutorials including murtabak, nasi briyani and fried cempedak.
The home cook also loves busting a move in the kitchen, which he claims is the secret to good-tasting food.

Vulnerable AF: Male Celebrities With Mental Illness Open Up
Written by Nicole Fabian-Weber
on 10 July, 2018
From The Rock's struggle with depression to Ryan Reynolds' crippling anxiety, here are 10 famous men who are getting real about their mental health.
"Boys don't cry" is an adage society has long subscribed to, but thanks to a slew of male celebrities opening up about mental health, that stigma is finally being laid to rest. Just as famous females like Demi Lovato and Chrissy Teigen have gotten candid about their struggles, a handful of Hollywood's most famous men have followed suit — and to call their confessions important is an understatement. Not only do 6 million American men suffer from depression each year, but they are far less likely than women to talk about it or to seek treatment. From The Rock's long battle with depression to Ryan Reynolds' crippling anxiety, here are 10 famous men who've gotten real about their mental health. This is a trend we can definitely get behind.
1. Justin Verlander
When a 2014 shoulder injury threatened to end his career, Houston Astros pitcher Justin Verlander leaned on the wife Kate Upton for support. "She was instrumental in me not...like, jumping off a bridge," the 35-year-old MLB player told the Bleacher Report. "I was depressed and kind of just upset at the world and trying to hide my own shit." And because talking about mental health tends to be stigmatized in the world of professional sports, the 35-year-old MLB player felt he couldn't seek treatment. "I don't like to talk to people about being hurt. As athletes, you're not supposed to. It's an excuse...But she was someone I could talk to," he explained. "I mean, basically a therapist." The pair married years later in November 2017, just three days after Verlander helped his team to win the World Series.

2. Mark Wahlberg
Mark Wahlberg is the type of person who gets stuff done. Need proof? During a Q&A at the annual LEAP Foundation conference, the actor revealed he wakes up at 3:30 every morning to pray and work out. So when an arm injury disrupted his daily routine, Wahlberg's mental health plummeted. "When I was down and wasn't able to do the things I'm used to doing, I started to feel depressed — and I never feel depressed," he said, according to the Hollywood Reporter. While the 47-year-old "Transformers" actor didn't elaborate on his experience with depression, he said the experience instilled motivation in him, and was more driven than ever to succeed in his career.

3. Jared Padalecki
"Supernatural" star Jared Padalecki has battled a lot more in real life than the demons he defeats on-screen. In an interview with Variety, Padalecki revealed that he's dealt with clinical depression, even though it didn't make sense to him at the time.
"I was 25 years old. I had my own TV show. I had dogs that I loved and tons of friends and I was getting adoration from fans and I was happy with my work, but I couldn't figure out what it was; it doesn't always make sense is my point," he said. So Padalecki wants others who live with mental illness to give themselves some credit. "There's no shame in having to fight every day," he said. "If you're still alive to hear these words or read this interview, then you are winning your war. You're here."
UP NEXT: This royal bottled up his grief for 20 years before seeking help.
4. Prince Harry
Historically, British royals have a stiff upper lip when it comes to talking about their feelings. But Prince Harry broke the stuffy tradition in 2017, when he gave a candid interview revealing his internal turmoil after the death of his mother, Princess Diana. "I can safely say that losing my mum at the age of 12, and therefore shutting down all of my emotions for the last 20 years, has had a quite serious effect on not only my personal life, but my work as well," the prince said.
At Prince William's urging, Harry spoke to a therapist. "All of this grief that I have never processed started to come to the forefront, and I was like, 'There is actually a lot of stuff here that I need to deal with,'" the 33-year-old said. Today, one of Harry's biggest charities is Heads Together, a campaign that stresses the importance of mental health.
UP NEXT: This statuesque star might look untouchable, but depression can affect anyone.
5. The Rock
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's tumultuous childhood incited a battle with depression that lasted for years. In a 2018 interview with the Express, the actor spoke about how witnessing his mother's suicide attempt when he was 15 sent him on a downward spiral. "She got out of the car on Interstate 65 in Nashville and walked into oncoming traffic," he said. "I grabbed her and pulled her back on the gravel shoulder of the road."
Years later, the actor's dream of playing football professionally was crushed after an injury, and shortly after that, his girlfriend broke up with him. "That was my absolute worst time," the "Baywatch" star said. Johnson has risen above the pain, but the 45-year-old is still hypersensitive to others who are suffering. "We always got to do our best to pay attention when other people are in pain," he said.
UP NEXT: The world's most decorated Olympian has had his fair share of mental health scares.
6. Michael Phelps
While speaking to an audience at George Washington University in 2017, the world's most decorated Olympian Michael Phelps admitted that he has dealt with anxiety, depression and even suicidal thoughts over the years. "I remember sitting in my room for four or five days not wanting to be alive, not talking to anybody," the 32-year-old revealed.
That same year, in the documentary "Angst," Phelps explained that talking about his issues helped him deal with them better. "I just didn't like who I was. If I was angry or depressed or upset, I would almost ignore it," the swimmer said in a clip. "So I would shove it even farther down. Once I opened up about things that I had kept inside of me for so many years, I then found that life was a lot easier. I got to the point where, I understood that it's OK to not be OK."
UP NEXT: There's a reason this former boy-band member canceled one of his solo performances.
7. Zayn Malik
In 2016, singer Zayn Malik surprised fans when he canceled a performance because of anxiety. Instead of chalking the cancellation up to a "virus" as many other celebs would, the 25-year-old came clean. "One of my team members offered to write a statement saying that I'd been taken ill, but I didn't want to do that. I was done with putting out statements that masked what was really going on," the former One Direction singer wrote in his book, "Zayn."
"Anxiety is nothing to be ashamed of; it affects millions of people every day." After Malik opened up about his anxiety, he received thousands of supportive messages from male fans. "Guys on Twitter were telling me how anxiety had affected their lives and saying that they were glad I had spoken up," he said. "It felt as though some good had come from the situation."
NEXT UP: This crooner opened up about his childhood ADHD diagnosis.
8. Adam Levine
When he was a child, Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine was one of the estimated 5 percent of kids who are diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) each year — and he continues to struggle with it as an adult. In 2014, "The Voice" judge partnered with the Own It campaign, an initiative that helps break down the stigma that ADHD only affects kids, in order to inspire adults to get help if they're still dealing with symptoms.
"I had trouble sometimes writing songs, and I couldn't always focus and complete everything I had to," the crooner told ADDitude magazine. "I remember being in the studio once and having 30 ideas in my head, but I couldn't document any of them." Levine eventually went back to his doctor to get help, and he's dedicated to the cause of helping others.
UP NEXT: This "Mad Men" actor chose therapy to handle his depression, addiction and grief.
9. Jon Hamm
While his "Mad Men" character Don Draper might have been too proud to admit to therapy, Jon Hamm certainly isn't. In a 2017 interview with InStyle, the actor talked about how therapy has helped him during particularly trying times his life, including bouts of depression, addiction and grief (Hamm lost both of his parents before he graduated college).
"Medical attention is medical attention, whether it's for your elbow or for your teeth or for your brain," the 47-year-old said. "And it's important. We live in a world where to admit anything negative about yourself is seen as a weakness, when it's actually a strength."
UP NEXT: We tell you why this TV host refuses to shake contestants' hands.
10. Howie Mandel
In a revealing 2009 ABC News interview, Howie Mandel admitted his lifelong battle with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Ever since he was young, the 62-year-old comedian has had a debilitating fear of germs. When he was the host of "Deal or No Deal," he refused to shake any of the contestants' hands, instead opting for a fist bump.
"In my mind [the hand] is like a petri dish," he said. "Otherwise, I would spend the day — as I have in the past in my life — in the men's room rubbing and scrubbing and scalding." In order to deal with his issues (Mandel also suffers from anxiety and ADHD), the TV personality sees a therapist and takes medication. "I think the solution to making this world better is if we would just be healthy mentally," he said.
UP NEXT: The character Deadpool might seem carefree, but the actor who portrays him suffers from a common disorder.
While he may seem to have it all — the talent, the looks, the wife — Ryan Reynolds suffers from anxiety. In a recent interview with the New York Times, the "Deadpool" star admitted that he's battled with the issue for a long time. "I've always had anxiety," the 41-year-old shared. "Both in the lighthearted 'I'm anxious about this' kind of thing, and I've been to the depths of the darker end of the spectrum, which is not fun."
In his early 20s, Reynolds went through a "real unhinged phase," during which he self-medicated to deal with his crippling anxiety. Now the actor goes about things differently: In addition to using the meditation app Headspace, Reynolds often gives interviews for "Deadpool" in character. "When the curtain opens, I turn on this knucklehead, and he kind of takes over and goes away again once I walk off set," he said.
UP NEXT: This rapper's song increased the suicide-prevention hotline calls by 50 percent.
12. Logic
Male rappers aren't always known for their vulnerable sides, but singer Logic broke that stereotype when he gave a deeply personal interview with CBS News in 2017. The 28-year-old, who was hospitalized after a breakdown in 2015, confessed to being diagnosed with derealization disorder, which is a byproduct of anxiety.
"It's an intense form of anxiety where you feel like you're almost separated, and there's a filter between you and reality at all times because you're hyperanalyzing the situations around you," he said in the interview. That same year, the rapper debuted his song "1-800-273-8255," which is the phone number for the suicide-prevention hotline. After performing it at the MTV VMAs, calls to the lifeline increased 50 percent.
UP NEXT: This funnyman might be all smiles on camera, but it hasn't always been like that.
13. Trevor Noah
He may have people cracking up every night on "The Daily Show," but Trevor Noah is no stranger to depression. While accepting the 2017 award for Comedy Person of the Year, the 34-year-old thanked Jim Carrey for helping him put a name to what he was feeling for so many years. "Jim Carrey was one of the first comedians that described the beast that many of us face in this room, and that's depression," Noah said. "I didn't know what that thing was. I just thought I liked sleeping for weeks on end sometimes, and then I read [Carrey's] story and I was like, 'Oh sh*t, that's what's going on.' And I thank you because, you know, I found a way to fight it. I found a way to build a community, and that's what this place is: It's a community of people trying to do something."

You can't really have a Star Wars film without John Williams, and it's telling that Michael Giacchino's score for Rogue One definitely had his influence all over it - and, as well as this, Williams' is apparently due to write the main theme for the upcoming Solo spinoff movie as well.
Variety confirmed yesterday that John Williams, who is now 85 years old, will write the soundtrack for Star Wars: Episode IX. This will make it Williams' 145th credit as a composer on a film or TV series, according to IMDb, and will be his ninth time composing a soundtrack for Star Wars.
In a short interview, Williams said that he "would very much like to complete" Episode IX, and talked about how Rian Johnson would eventually love to release a score-only version of The Last Jedi with Williams' music intact. "All of the accompanimental music will be brought forward — every gesture, the music traveling along with the moods and textures, references to characters and so on."
Star Wars: Episode IX hits Irish cinemas on December 20th, 2019.


Professor Sheila Crispin, who lives near Kendal in the Lake District, has won a lifetime achievement award as part of the largest and most prestigious veterinary awards in Europe for her work as a veterinary ophthalmologist, treating a wide range of animals and saving the eyesight of many thousands of animals in this country and across the world.
Professor Crispin, now semi-retired, has devoted much of her life to comparative eye disease as a researcher and clinician and has won one of the coveted International Canine Health Awards in the category of lifetime achievement. The awards, run by the Kennel Club Charitable Trust and underwritten by a major gift from Vernon and Shirley Hill of Metro Bank, highlight those individuals who go one step further to promote the health and wellbeing of dogs through their work in the world of veterinary science.
Her innovative research has focused on understanding the way eye disease develops, with particular focus on ocular diseases involving lipids (fats), some of which can severely compromise vision and even cause blindness if untreated.
Through her work Professor Crispin has confirmed many of the local and systemic factors that influence both lipid deposition and clearance in avascular tissues (those normally without blood vessels, such as the cornea), and explained species differences in susceptibility to atherosclerosis, a condition where the arteries become clogged by fatty substances, causing restricted blood flow and organ damage This pioneering research has benefited understanding of these disorders in both humans and animals, as well as bringing her worldwide acclaim.
Clinically, her research on disorders of lipid metabolism and the way they are seen in the eye has refined diagnosis and treatment and has meant that surgery is seldom needed and medical treatment, with or without dietary manipulation, is sometimes all that is required.
Another area in which Professor Crispin has made substantial clinical and research contributions is that of inherited and breed-related eye disease in dogs; she has been the Chief Panellist of the British Veterinary Association/Kennel Club/International Sheepdog Society Eye Scheme Panel on three separate occasions and is a long standing member of the Eye Panel Working Party and the Eye Scheme Panel. In addition to contributing to many educational seminars (for example, for the Kennel Club and Breed Clubs) and veterinary conferences she produces a regular update of Eye Scheme information which reviews breed-related and inherited eye diseases and their impact on canine welfare.
Her contributions to the veterinary profession are many and varied; she served as a Council Member of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons from 1997 to 2015 and was President from 2006-2007, she chaired the Advisory Council on the Welfare Issues of Dog Breeding from 2010-2014 and is currently a member of many committees and groups dealing with animal welfare and dog-related issues, including the Kennel Club's Dog Health Group, the Canine and Feline Sector Group and the Associate Parliamentary Group on Animal Welfare.
The awards were presented to this year's winners by Mike Townsend, Chairman of the Kennel Club Charitable Trust, on Thursday 25th June 2015 at the International Conference on Advances in Canine and Feline Genomics and Inherited Disease, this year organised by the Animal Health Trust. The awards were for the Postgraduate Student, International Award and Lifetime Achievement Award and include prize money of £5,000, £20,000 (for each of the two winners) and £10,000 respectively.
The awards are judged by a panel of influential representatives from the veterinary profession and the world of scientific research. These included Professor Peter Bedford, Emeritus Professor of Veterinary Ophthalmology at London University; Nick Blayney, Veterinary Surgeon and veterinary advisor to the Kennel Club; Professor Robin Franklin, Professor of Stem Cell Medicine at Cambridge University; Professor Alan Kelly, Emeritus Dean, Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine, Professor Donald Kelly, Emeritus Professor of Veterinary Pathology, University of Liverpool; Professor Bennie Osburn, Emeritus Dean, UC Davies School of Veterinary Medicine and Mike Townsend, Chairman of Trustees, the Kennel Club Charitable Trust.

Israels lights up at Wendl
'Portrait of a Young Girl with a Cigarette' was a high-flyer in a sale at Wendl (21% buyer's premium) in Rudolstadt held before open auctions were prohibited by the German authorities.
Jonathan Franks
The Isaac Israels portrait sold for €120,000 (£109,090) at Wendl.
The 21 x 15in (55 x 38cm) early-20th century oil on canvas was the work of the Dutch artist Isaac Israels and came from a German collection.
Paris move
Like many aspiring painters of his day, Israels moved to Paris soon after the turn of the century.
His studio was close to those of Toulouse Lautrec and Degas, who were both to have an influence on his work, as was the German artist Max Liebermann, with whom he had worked while still in the Netherlands.
Paintings by Israels regularly bring six-figure prices, so the modest guide of €9000 attracted more than a handful of hopeful bidders.
Twenty phone bidders plus the room pushed the price to a very respectable €120,000 (£109,090) at the auction held on March 5-7. It sold to a European trade buyer.
Krasner Abstract
Plenty of takers also competed for a 19 x 21in (49 x 54cm) Abstract Composition which had a guide of €8000. It was executed by the American artist Lee Krasner and possibly dated 1942.
If the partly illegible date was interpreted correctly by the auction house, it was painted soon after Krasner – who later went on to marry Jackson Pollock – first showed her works at a public exhibition.
It sold at Wendl for €33,000 (£30,000).
