Top OTT strategies to address in 2021
Tim Pearson
Tim Pearson, Senior Director, Product Marketing, NAGRA
The New Year is an opportunity for the M&E industry to step back and re-evaluate various strategies for the future. This is especially true in the OTT world. The proliferation of content across an increasingly broad range of devices and direct-to-consumer offerings is one such trend that shows a high potential for growth as we enter a new year. Below are four key strategies that OTT players should consider in 2021 to optimize revenues and realise their market opportunity.
1/ The Game Changer: Sports OTT
The reduction in production and distribution costs driven by technology being available via the cloud has lowered barriers to entry and made D2C propositions a reality. This has meant those sports federations and leagues previously blocked from offering their own OTT service now have a real opportunity to deliver an engaging and immersive solution to their fans.
Sports federations of all sizes are now able to engage with their global fan bases. Historically, this was an issue as it was simply too expensive to host their own content with the exception of a few key games that would be picked up by traditional distribution channels. This resulted in a lot of content never seeing the light of day despite the demand for it by their fans. Now, the joint forces of OTT as a distribution method and the cloud as a technology base means sports federations have the potential to win big!
Not only is it possible for any sport to reach a global audience, it also opens the door for new ways to engage with fans by offering solutions that conflate multiple data sets into a single app, continue the experience beyond the stadium to the screen and build relationships and understanding of fan behaviour beyond the confines of existing platforms, such as YouTube. In essence, this allows sports organisations to create their very own Home of Sport – and with there being as many OTT sports racers as there are races, there are now many ways to get a service to market.
2/ Man vs. Machine – Viewer Recommendations
The industry continues to work on developing personalisation and recommendations that actually drive consumer happiness and ultimately monetisation. With Netflix currently testing its own linear experience based on recommended SVOD content, things are getting interesting.
The goal is a straightforward concept – show the viewer what, where and when they want it. While this might seem simple it is actually a much more complicated conversation. The industry has worked to personalise content for the viewer through recommendations via basic algorithms that are editorially driven, such as the genre of the content or the actor featured. Unfortunately, human behaviour changes on a daily – if not hourly – basis. Just because a viewer watched a football match on Monday, it does not mean they want to be inundated with numerous sports-related content for the rest of the week. This makes training AI and machine learning technologies to understand consumer behaviour extremely difficult.
What is promising for the future is the prospect of advanced AI that truly understands an OTT viewer's behaviour. When done correctly, these technologies would spot nuances in data sets that you would not see if using a straightforward dashboard. This approach has more to offer the OTT market than any of the traditional recommendation and personalization manoeuvres we've seen to date.
3/ Less is More – Optimising UX Features:
When it comes to user experience (UX) features – and as a result user happiness – navigation and simplicity is key. As consumers buy-in to the various OTT offerings available to them, the ability to navigate the numerous platforms and ensure the customer can easily find what they want is core to success. Contrary to popular belief, more is not better. Too many features within the UX might sound like a great value-add for viewers, but in reality, they just complicate and ultimately ruin the experience.
This is especially true with sports OTT and fan engagement. Fans know how they want to interact with content – they do not need to be told. Fundamentally, viewers just want to get to the content they want quickly, easily and without a lot of effort. Don't tell them what they want, but give them simple tools so that they can shape the experience to their likes and needs.
4/ Content and Service Protection – A Comprehensive Approach
When it comes to the media industry, you are only as good as the content you can provide. This why it is imperative to have a strong, full-service content and service protection strategy in place. By nature, the proliferation of OTT means more streams, more networks and more devices. Piracy is no longer a linear path to protect. It is a complicated maze with numerous attack points for pirates to exploit. This is why a comprehensive content and service protection approach is needed.
The industry is slowly aligning with different groups and players coming together to do their part to protect valuable content. This includes implementing the right active streaming protection approach across the entire value chain. This might start with a need to show compliance through solutions such as forensic watermarking or multi-DRM. At the same time a centralised security platform can ensure a full set of capabilities across both broadcast and IP networks that can protect against various threats.
To further protect the service, operators could also integrate anti-piracy services to respond to illicit service usage and take action to mitigate against the risk of loss, such as takedowns and advisory messages to the end device. And, to ensure the best business decisions are being made, AI and machine learning analytics tools can be added to effectively inform business stakeholders at both executive and operational levels to ensure the entire chain is secure.
With so much innovation and opportunity available in the industry, it is truly exciting times to be in the OTT space. By reviewing the four strategies listed above, you can be well-informed and well-positioned for success in 2021 and beyond.

Q: How to quicky update images in java GUI I want to know what is the fastest way to display and update images in JAVA. I'm receiving a series of images continuously from a socket and i want to display them in real time. I'm currently using a Jlabel inside a JFrame.
void refreshScreen(BufferedImage bufImg)
{
label.setIcon(new ImageIcon(bufImg));
frame.repaint();
frame.getContentPane().repaint();
}

However this is extremely slow and takes 15-20 seconds to update even on my fast computer. What would be the ideal way to do this?

A: The problem would not be updating the image. When you set the Icon of a JLabel it will repaint itself immediately.
The problem would probably be in receiving the image over the socket (the speed of you computer has no effect here). You must make sure that the code that uses the socket does not block the Event Dispatch Thread as this will prevent the GUI from repainting itself. So you need to use a separate Thread for the Socket connection.

Černá (, někdy česky též Černý potok, lidově též Švarcava) je říčka v okresech Gmünd v Dolních Rakousech a Český Krumlov v Jihočeském kraji. Celková délka toku činí 29,3 km, z toho 27,4 km v kategorii významný. Plocha povodí měří 148,6 km².

Průběh toku
Pramení pod jménem Schwarzaubach v Rakousku na jihozápadním svahu hory Nebelstein, nad sídlem Schwarzau. Na české části řeky se nacházejí splavovací nádrž Zlatá Ktiš a Soběnovská přehrada. Do Malše se vlévá severně od Kaplice jako jeden z jejích významnějších pravostranných přítoků.

Větší přítoky
Největším přítokem říčky Černé je Pohořský potok. Do Černé se vlévá z levé strany mezi Ličovem a Benešovem nad Černou (ř.km 11,3). Z větších toků se do Černé vlévá ještě z levé strany Huťský potok a z pravé Lužný potok.

Vodní režim
Hlásný profil:

Využití
Dříve se zde intenzivně plavilo dříví (na 12 km toku). Od roku 1925, kdy byla na říčce postavena Soběnovská přehrada, má velký význam výroba elektrické energie a protipovodňová ochrana. S výjimkou údolní nádrže jde výhradně o pstruhovou vodu.

'Apologise to farmers': Opposition hits back at PM Modi – india news
The Opposition on Friday hit out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his allegations that vested interests were misleading farmer protests, with the Congress party asking the PM to apologise to farmers for enacting three contentious agriculture laws that have sparked protests.
"Instead of inventing excuses, indulging in event management, the Modi Government should seek apologize to the farmers and should immediately withdraw these three black laws," Congress' chief spokesperson Randeep Singh Surjewala said.
The party's attack came on a day the PM interacted with farmers and strongly defended the three laws, blaming Opposition parties of hijacking the protests and misleading cultivators. The PM also pointedly accused the West Bengal government of denying central government benefits to seven million farmers in the state.
Hours later, West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee hit back. "While he (PM Modi) publicly claimed his intention to help farmers of WB (West Bengal) through his PM Kisan Yojana and alleges non-cooperation of the state government, the fact is that he is trying to mislead the people with half-truth and distorted facts," Banerjee said.
The Bengal government was always ready to cooperate in the interest of farmers, she added.
Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal claimed the laws will harm farmers. "BJP says that these laws will not harm farmers. But what is their benefit? …The truth is that these laws will do a lot of harm and don't have a single benefit," Kejriwal tweeted in Hindi. Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MPs Sanjay Singh and Bhagwant Mann raised slogans in the presence of the PM, demanding the repeal of the farm laws. The incident took place in the Central Hall of Parliament when Modi arrived to pay floral tributes to Madan Mohan Malaviya and former PM Atal Bihari Vajpayee on their birth anniversaries.
Surjewala said that the central government was the enemy of farmers. "The bitter truth is that it is taking shelter behind political dishonesty, slyness and dramatics is not at all interested in solving the problems of farmers. The Prime Minister Modi who dug roads, attacked farmers with water cannons and lathi charge is today indulging in the drama of 'Samman Nidhi'," he said.
He slammed the government for calling farmers "terrorists, parasite, tukde-tukde gang, misguided gang, and khalistanis".
"Modi Ji, it is a matter of deep anguish that the farmers whom you are treating with cruelty and apathy, they are the same people, who brought you to this throne and this position of glory," Surjewala said. "Today, this BJP is branding these farmers brothers as terrorists, parasite, tukde-tukde gang, misguided gang, khalistani and misguided lot. It is shameful that the minister of agriculture has gone to the extent of calling them political puppets in his letters."

Paul V. Suhey, Ballot Position No. 4
Paul V. Suhey '79 Lib
Martin & Suhey Orthopedics
State College, Pa.
Read Suhey's official bio and position statement here (PDF download).
1. What should Penn State be looking for in its next president?
Qualities that are priorities for me in a university presidential candidate:
• Someone (he or she) who understands and appreciates the heritage and character of our university and community, and our roots as an agricultural and land grant institution.
• A leader who understands the breadth and depth of Penn State's mission of teaching, research and service. A leader who is innovative and in tune with the challenges we will face as one of the nation's largest and most complex universities. • Humility and charisma. I think those two attributes are not mutually exclusive and the right candidate will have a healthy balance of the two.
• A good listener, because I believe the best leaders "spend more time on receive than they do on broadcast." That is why we have two ears and one mouth.
• A good communicator because one of the most important jobs of a university president is his or her ability to represent the school and to establish support and rapport among students, faculty, alumni, and legislators.
• Courage and conviction. Enough said.
• Talent, vision, and experience to recognize and adapt to the dynamic, ever-changing demands of higher education. Our goal should be a search that's as broad as possible, and identifies a diverse pool of both traditional (academic) and non-traditional candidates of the highest caliber.
2. What changes or reforms should the Board of Trustees consider to help the university progress after the events of 2011 and 2012? Please explain why—or, if you don't think reform is needed, please explain why not.
After considering recommendations from the Pennsylvania Attorney General, Faculty Senate and Mid-Atlantic States Association, and several stakeholders and outside experts on best practices for governance, we have made the following significant changes:
• Replacing the previous three board committees with six action-focused committees and three new subcommittees that meet more frequently.
• Opening Most board of Trustees committee and other sessions to the public, and instituting a public comment period at each full board meeting.
• Adding faculty, staff, students, and alumni as members to almost all board committees, increasing representation from the university community across the board.
At the same time, much more remains to be done. The Governance Committee is conducting a comprehensive review of governance best practices and developing a specific set of reform recommendations, which it intends to swiftly implement. These reforms include removing the Governor and President from voting positions on the board. The General Counsel will also report directly to the Board of Trustees. In addition other reforms being considered include changing the board's bylaws to require that the university's annual Clery Act and Right-to-Know law reports be presented to the board. I believe the changes we have made are helping to make our university stronger, more accountable and well-positioned to move forward. Moreover, not only are we a better institution today, but Penn State is also becoming recognized as a leader in transparency and governance, and is serving as a model for others.
3. How do you define the role of an alumni trustee, and how would that inform the way you would approach your term on the board?
Alumni trustees, just like all trustees, are stewards of the university. It is our responsibility to safeguard the interests and priorities of alumni, students, and faculty—and the welfare of the entire university community. I believe that a board, including the Penn State BOT, should be focused on strategic planning and oversight and the administration should be tasked with the day-to-day operation of the university. Someone once used the expression "noses in, hands out," when referring to a board. I think that philosophy is healthy and right, and I believe organizations run most efficiently that way. That dynamic is what we should be striving for at Penn State. I have always considered it an honor to represent the largest alumni association in the world. I do not take this responsibility lightly. I have always and will continue to hear and listen to alumni sentiment. At the same time, however, I will not be afraid to make a difficult or unpopular decision I feel is in the best interest of the entire university. Contrary to recent criticism, we as a board deliberate, discuss, and debate many issues. Once a vote has been taken on an issue, however, I believe it is necessary to fully support that decision. To use a football metaphor, once a play is called, run it to the best of your ability.

All in favor of Paul Suhey and his responses, position & views. Re- elect him !!!
4. Mj | April 8, 2013 at 10:01 am
I believe it did take courage and conviction to do what was right for the university. If more people in the position of power at Penn State had that kind of courage and conviction, than there would have been a stop to the crimes that were perpetuated on our campus.
5. Claude Kirshner | April 8, 2013 at 12:23 pm
I think we are going to retire you three weeks early.
6. wlevinson | April 9, 2013 at 12:42 pm
Mj is the same anonymous commentator who supports Stephanie Deviney. It is telling that the BOT's supporters at the Collegian and Centre Daily Times are almost universally anonymous. I will put my name behind what I say (William A. Levinson, B.S. '78).
I was once proud to cite Paul Suhey as living proof that Penn State is where the football players get good enough grades to go to medical school. The reason is that, under the leadership of the man whom Suhey and his colleagues fired without cause on 11/9, grades came first and football second. Coach Paterno would rather have had a star player miss one or more games than not graduate.
Success with Honor, however, includes the character to stand up to a bad decision the way George S. Patton Jr. (then a junior officer) stood up to a lynch mob that wanted to hang a Black enlisted man who had been accused of raping a white woman. Patton said the mob would have to kill him (Patton) first, and it backed off. The soldier was later acquitted.
Paul Suhey, on the other hand, needed to risk only the bad opinion of individuals like John Surma, Kenneth Frazier, and so on as opposed to his life. He took the easy way instead of what Colonel Donnithorne's "The West Point Way of Leadership" calls "the harder right." Suhey's judgment was simply not there when Penn State needed it. He subsequently told a half-truth to the effect that the Board did not fire Coach Paterno, but merely "retired" him early, and then implied that the Paterno family endorsed his candidacy (which it does not).
7. jkramer | April 11, 2013 at 4:19 pm
It is easy to take shots at leaders. They have to make the tough decisions. PSU needs to move forward. We need leaders who are going to ACT and LEAD not leaders with individual agendas regarding past events. We need to come together as a PSU family. We can do that now. Supporting Mr. Suhey will get us one step closer.
8. Marie Cornelius | April 14, 2013 at 10:29 am
The BOT will be voting for 12 year limits in May. If Suhey had any integrity, he would not have even run for this post, as his 12 year limit expires. This is not leadership. This is not courage. This is utter selfishness.
9. Michele Rhoades | April 14, 2013 at 10:51 am
Name one thing that Paul Suhey has personally accomplished as a trustee before or after Nov 2011 that merits giving him another term
10. Dave Ketchen | April 14, 2013 at 10:53 am
Voters, please read this letter to the CDT editor:
Past performance is the best predictor of future performance.Paul Suhey failed in his duties when it mattered most and should not be re-elected to the Penn State board of trustees.
The Freeh report makes it clear that two reasons for the Sandusky scandal were that Suhey and the rest of the board "did not perform oversight duties" and that they "failed to inquire reasonably and to demand detailed information" at crucial moments.In other words, poor governance and poor communication were central problems.
On Suhey's campaign website, he cites as a "key accomplishment" of his tenure that "in 2004, several trustees and I took steps – including obtaining legal counsel — to attempt to bring about change in the governance of the board and to improve communication at all levels of the administration and on the board itself."
That was seven years before the Sandusky scandal erupted. What happened during these years? Why did Suhey fail in his effort to create positive change?
I see two possibilities. One is that Suhey is overstating the vigor with which he pursued improved governance and communication. The other possibility is that he is an ineffective leader.Neither scenario reflects well on Suhey's candidacy for another term.

Suhey was a football player who helped throw his coach under the bus; after 15 years on the board, why does he think he needs to run again? He has shown no leadership and the fact he was one who helped throw JVP under the bus, he should NOT BE REELECTED. He has nothing to show for 15 years on the board. Goodbye, Paul
Voters should also be aware that incumbent Paul Suhey has served for 15 years. In May, the board of trustees will vote on a package of reforms that includes term limits of 12 years.
This is being done in response to a recommendation in the Freeh report.
Simply by running, Suhey is violating the spirit of reform that the board at long last is finally starting to embrace.

Paul Suhey FAILED in his role on the current BOT – that is clear and unanimous from just about every source – except of course… THEM. I also don't understand his double speak… he talks about fluffy stuff here (probably precanned for him) but yet … AGAIN …. FAILES to tell us why HE is qualified. I can only conclude he has never been and remains UNQUALIFIED… An orthopedic surgeon can bring little value to directing an organization with 4B operating budget. GO HOME PAUL SUHEY … been there, done that – don't want any more of you!! If you honestly love PSU – and if even if you are so full of yourself that you believe you belong on the board – the perception of the universe is that you should step down … so for the "love" of your school – please do so ASAP!
14. David Geiss | April 14, 2013 at 11:14 am
I believe that Dr. Suhey is educated enough to recognize the difference between a thorough root cause analysis resulting in effective corrective action and a knee-jerk, politically motivated action. He has been weighed, measured and found wanting. If Joe wasn't disappointed in him, why would the Paterno family be lined up against him now?
15. Rhino | April 14, 2013 at 11:28 am
So long Paul.You Devaney and any other 11/11 trustess are as good as gone. It may take awhile but you should all Consider yourselves officially retired, care of the alumni.
16. AMHW | April 14, 2013 at 11:43 am
You showed who you were and what you stood for back in 11/11 when you fired a man who gave 61 yrs. of his life to our university. You didn't have the backbone to stand up for a man who was not convicted of any crime and you didn't stand up for due process. You knew Joe Paterno and what he stood for throughout the years and you allowed that to happen to him. Then you had the audacity to say he wasn't fired but rather the board retired him 3 wks. early. You never bothered to get to the truth before reacting. Do everyone a favor and RESIGN!

You have embarrased not only Penn State, but also your family and yourself. I'm sure Larry and Matt are as embarrassed of you as we are.
18. Eric Goodhard | April 14, 2013 at 11:53 am
Mr. Suhey failed at every corner during his past term.Oversight, according to the beloved fictional Freeh report.Judgement, as evidenced by now the highest cost pubic university.Integrity/courage ,if he had any of either , as a former player HE should have gone to Joe in person to inform him of his termination.I pray he has better qualities as a physician.
19. Penn State '85 | April 14, 2013 at 12:06 pm
I'm sorry, but Dr. Suhey has not demonstrated leadership during his tenure as a BoT member. His and others' inaction over the past decade to institute the type of governance found in most corporations or public trust institutions led directly to this crisis and damaged the reputation of this great university and cost it hundreds of millions of dollars. Its time to bring in new leadership that can allow us to move on.

Do you feel you did everything possible to discover the whole truth about the Sandusky scandal? Has pursuit of the whole truth taken a back seat to some other greater cause? Thank you.

I was once proud to cite trustee Paul Suhey as proof that Penn State's football players can earn good enough grades to go to medical school. Grades came first and football second under coach Joe Paterno's Grand Experiment.
But success with honor goes beyond academic and athletic achievement to include judgment, character and integrity. Suhey's judgment was simply not there when Penn State needed it on Nov. 9, 2011, and neither was that of his fellow trustees.
22. David Ritter | April 14, 2013 at 1:47 pm
You showed us your true colors…whatever the colors of cowardice and panic are supposed to be.
23. jeanne | April 14, 2013 at 2:02 pm
I cannot in good conscious vote for a man who did not do the right thing,who didn't investigate to make an informed decision., who jumped on the bandwagon and went along with status quo. There was no success with honor when it we neded most and there was no standing up and fighting for our great university.
24. Maribeth Roman Schmidt | April 14, 2013 at 8:55 pm
You are a complete and total embarrassment to every Penn Stater. You really never thought to ask your former coach — the man who instilled the values you claim to live by – what he knew about the Sandusky indictment? Never challenged your fellow trustees to ensure that due process, heck, the benefit of the doubt, was honored? Your cowardice inside the boardroom makes me physically ill. Whatever your personal vendetta may have been, it is time to come clean and "retire" yourself NOW.
25. Anonymous | April 14, 2013 at 9:36 pm
The Paterno family does not support him for a reason. Elect 3 others with more integrity.
26. PSU parent | April 15, 2013 at 12:04 am
Paul Suhey's main support in this election will be other BoT members who are circling the wagons to justify their poor leadership, and people who has received or been promised sums of money from Suhey during his 15 years on the BoT. How can this dishonest traitor pretend to advocate for reforms like 12 year term limits during his 15th year on the BoT. He is a disgrace. His mere presence on the Board is enough to prevent the PSU family from coming together and moving forward. He should be ashamed of himself.
27. Linda Berkland | April 15, 2013 at 6:42 am
The only part of this I enjoyed reading was at the very end…. "Next Candidate"! The date on this candidate shows he is expired and needs to be tossed in the trash. If Paul Suhey cared one iota about Penn State he would simply resign.
28. Michelle | April 15, 2013 at 7:11 am
I will not be supporting Paul Suhey or any other member of the board from Nov 11. There appalling lacking of foresight in preparing our university for a crisis is the primary reason. I certainly am disgusted by there treatment of Coach Paterno but that is only part of my reasoning. We deserve trustees who not only understand our traditions but can prepare us for the future. Allowing the media to run wild with the story while remaining silent has done irreparable harm. The status quo has got to go!

Suhey and his fellow BOT members still present from November 2011 are a disgrace to our University.
31. Mary Ferguson | April 15, 2013 at 9:36 am
Paul Suhey has been on the BOT long enough. This is not a life time position. He failed as a trustee in March 2011 by not asking questions and in November 2011. His actions and the entire BOT of November 2011 have cost the university irreparable damage. The university can never move forward until every one of them is replaced.
32. Ted Brown | April 15, 2013 at 10:32 am
1.	Suhey went to President Spanier long before the Sandusky scandal to try to get Joe fired.
2.	For many years Penn State was number 2, in the Big Ten, in the AAU benchmarking study of Faculty income. In about 2005, we slipped from number 2 to number 4. I'm told we've slipped further. We will not continue to be the great University, we are, if we don't address this. Great Faculty cost more than good faculty. Academia is competitive for talent, just like business. As the President of a Crisis Management Consulting firm, I know what competition for talent is. What has Suhey done to restore us to the top? Faculty and Staff morale are at their lowest level ever. What has Suhey done to address that? If we raise Faculty income, where will the money come from? The State, tuition, or Philanthropy. We must keep tuition competitive. What has Suhey done to help with that? As a Trustee, I'll work to get the State to contribute more. (Why so many BOT members from a State that only contributes 6% ?) I'll work to increase Philanthropy. I'm a member of the Mount Nittany Society, Presidents Club, etc. I was instrumental in creating the Parmi Nous Endowment and gave a Leadership gift.

Suhey did not make tough decisions. He made easy and cowardly decisions that required no in-depth or any moral or ethical gut-check. His actions cost the university tens of million dollars and long term damage to the university.

34. William A Levinson | April 15, 2013 at 6:37 pm
Deviney and Suhey do not seem to understand that the Board of Trustees is not a country club,but a responsibility. Neither has taken any identifiable action since 11/9 to treat it as such.
Examples include failure to review and challenge the Freeh Report, and failure to act on the fact that either the President of Penn State or the NCAA lied about the death penalty threat, and therefore $60 million of Penn State's money. Their rush to judgment on 11/9 also demonstrates their lack of fitness even though they followed poor leadership from individuals like John Surma. "Trustee" does not mean rubber-stamping another individual's decision, much as the country club executive committee would like the Board to run in exactly that manner.
The country club party is over for Suhey and Deviney effective July 1, and it will be over for Alexander, Arnelle, and possibly Myers (he is the only one who has done anything identifiable to earn a second chance) as of July 1 2014. It may be a little harder to remove the rest of the problems, but they may leave on their own when they realize that nobody in the Penn State community trusts or respects them.


Komen: I hear some are mentioning inflation going down is negative. Currently we have GDP accelerating while inflation decelerates which is the best combination for stocks (e.g. 2013 year when SPX up >30%). It is never a one factor model!

There is a $10 membership once again for the 2018 Sprummer Sweeper Series, and it can be payable in any of the regions. $5 can be paid in the first event bowled and the other $5 can be paid at event #2 bowled. If you pay the $10 at or before the kickoff event in this region, you will also receive $10 worth of raffle tickets, as we will be raffling off a bowling ball and perhaps other prizes as well. The $10 membership only needs to be paid one time per Sprummer season and qualifies you for points in each region if you decide to bowl in other regions as well.
This is event #5 for the Greater Toledo region of the 2018 Sprummer Sweeper Series. Each bowler's top 5 events will count toward their individual points in each region, and the top 4 bowlers in points will automatically cash in each region's rolloff. The top 4 bowlers for each of these regions will also automatically cash in the 2018 Sprummer Sweeper Championship in September.

Half of Britons with Rare Rheumatic Disease Need Three Years for Diagnosis, Report Says
It takes more than three years for half of Britons with rheumatic diseases like scleroderma, lupus and vasculitis to obtain a correct diagnosis, according to a Rare Autoimmune Rheumatic Diseases Alliance report.
This means a major delay in obtaining the treatment they need, according to the report, titled "Reduce, Improve, Empower." It included observations from more than 2,000 patients.
Two out of three people living with one of the three diseases had to go to several hospitals to receive the treatment they needed, and most felt their care was not well-managed, according to the report.
Having one of the conditions takes a significant toll on patients' social life and savings, it said. One in five patients missed at least three months' work in the past year, and a similar number quit working entirely.
"This report demonstrates for the first time the similar needs and experiences of people living with rare autoimmune rheumatic diseases," Peter Lanyon, the chair of the alliance, said in a news release.
"This can have an overwhelming effect on the quality and length of life," he said. "Early treatment for all these conditions is essential, and so the potential delays reported here of three years or more to get a diagnosis are concerning."
"These findings are a stark reminder of the challenges that people living with these conditions face — from getting a diagnosis, to accessing treatment and to coping with the impacts on home, work and family life," he added.
Lanyon proposed a three-part solution to tackle these problems: reducing the time for diagnosis, improving coordination among healthcare providers, and increasing the public's awareness and knowledge of rare diseases.
"More than 90% of respondents [to the survey used for the report] told us that they had received care from multiple" specialists, "but less than one in five did so" at a clinic that covered several rare autoimmune conditions, said Sue Farrington, chief executive of Scleroderma and Raynaud's UK. "Many people reported needing to visit two, three, four — or more — different hospitals, which is likely to have an effect on how well care is coordinated.
"This report sheds light on the challenges faced by people with rare, non-genetic conditions," she said. The alliance "is committed to working with all stakeholders to achieve these aims, to improve the lives of people living with rare autoimmune rheumatic diseases."
Sixty percent of the respondents said they are struggling to cope with their condition.
"This report is the first of its kind and highlights the value of the RAIRDA [alliance] partnership, which brings clinicians [doctors] and patients together to improve the quality of care for these rare conditions," said Ali Rivett, the CEO of the British Society for Rheumatology. "We now call on the government, the NHS [National Health System] and other health bodies to work with us to implement the recommendations and help improve the situation for all people living with these conditions."

Richard has secured a full athletic scholarship to attend West Texas A&M University in Canyon ,Texas where he aims to complete his degree in Kinesiology.He becomes the fourth PNG athlete to attend this school after Sharon Kwarula, Rellie Kaputin and Theo Piniau. "Peniel decided to return home in 2017 for his own personal reasons said Athletics PNG President Tony Green but his consistently good performances in big meets since then has resulted in this great opportunity for him to return to the USA to complete his studies and of course continue his athletic career. WTAMU is a great school and we are very thankful to Head Coach Matt Stewart and his staff for looking after our athletes so well. Richard first set the national record by jumping 15.35m in the USA in 2017 and improved it to 15.45m when winning gold at the Pacific Mini Games in Vanuatu. He further improved it to 15.51m this year at the Apia Games ,missing out by just 2cm to his great rival Eugene Vollmer from Fiji, himself a former USA College athlete.Vollmer also edged Richard out of Gold at the 2015 Games by just 5cm.A versatile athlete, Richard won the high jump silver and long jump bronze in Apia last year and also won the high jump silver in Vanuatu 2017.

I want to take a moment to offer my support and condolences to anyone who was affected by the Woolsey Fire or any of the other wildfires that spread across California this past weekend. Hopefully you, your family, animals and loved ones all made it out safely. Having to go through a natural disaster is scary but it is nice to see various communities from around Los Angeles and California come together to help each other out.
The Los Angeles Fire Department has started lifting mandatory evacuations on neighborhoods and people are starting to return to their homes to see if their homes are still standing or have been affected by the wildfires. You should still take precautionary measures when returning home as there may still be debris and toxins from the fire and smoke in the air.
This is a guide that will help figure out what you should do if your home was burned down or affected by the Woolsey fire or any other wildfire. Although your home may have not burned down in the fire you may be affected by smoke damage.
This is the first thing you should do. Hopefully, you know who your home insurance provider is. Once you are in contact with your home insurance provider file a claim and make sure to write down your claim number.
Make sure to verify that all your information in their system is correct; Your name, email address and physical address. Doing this will allow your insurance claim representative to easily contact you if needed.
– What is your deductible?
– How much is your cash advance amount?
– What is your approved alternative housing budget?
If you are receiving a cash advance from your insurance company they may ask you for your banking information so that they may transfer the amount to you.
If your family members need access to your insurance claim you may give your insurance agent their names. They will require you to later send them a signed letter by the policyholder giving each individual authorization.
While being displaced from the evacuation or needing to purchase items that you or your family needs, you should be saving all your receipts as your insurance company should reimburse you for your purchases of necessary items such as clothes, food, and alternative housing.
Pro-tip – create some kind of shareable folder between all household members. This can be something like a Google Drive folder or a DropBox folder. You can use these to easily save all expenditure receipts in one central place to be later sent to your home insurance provider.
There are apps you can download on your phone that make scanning documents and receipts simple using your smartphone camera. Make sure to make the folder private giving access only to authorized people.
If you return to your home after the evacuation bans have been lifted and your home is still standing but your neighbors or surrounding areas have been affected by the wildfires, your home may be damaged in areas you may not see.
Your insurance company should come out to do what they need to do to assess the damage on your property. They should bring out inspectors to inspect issues that may have arose from the heat of the fires such as septic tanks, foundation or structural issues.
If they do find issues you may find yourself displaced again. You should not return to your home until you have been given full approval that your home is safe to inhabit again.
Your insurance agent should put you in touch with a 3rd party company that will handle your alternative housing. There are a few companies that do this but a major one is CRS Temporary Housing. They should contact you separately to assist you in finding an alternate home as you are displaced.
Before you start looking for an alternate home you should figure out how long you will be displaced for, it will vary depending on the amount of work that will be needed to repair your home or rebuild it. Once you have a timeline you can look at your alternative housing budget and work backward to figure out how long you will have to stretch that budget until you are able to move back into your home.
For example, if your budget is $100,000 and you will be out of your home for 12 months, your monthly housing budget should be no more than $8,333/month.
If you are receiving alternate housing reimbursement for having to rent a home it will be up to you to put down the security deposit on the rental property. Most security deposits can be two months worth of rent or if it is a furnished rental home you may even be required to put up 3 months worth of security deposit.
As you know many families have been affected by these wildfires so this will create a high demand for rental homes. You may see monthly rents higher than usual.
If you need assistance with finding a temporary home I am available to work with you in finding a place.
If you have a property that you are willing to rent to help the displaced families please let me know so that I can connect you with someone that would appreciate it.
Keep in mind that home insurance companies will be dealing with a lot of claims so expect that the process may take longer than usual.
If you were to turn your house upside down and shake it, everything that fell out would be your personal belongings. Make a list of these items so that you know what you have to account for when you are replacing the things you lost.
Pro-Tip If you don't remember everything that was in your house. Go through photos that may be on your, or family and friends, phones to see if you can find pictures of a recent event or party you had at your house. In those pictures, you'll most likely find items in the background that you may have forgotten about.

Rimutaka Range (zwykle nazywane Rimutakas, również Remutaka Range) – pasmo górskie w Nowej Zelandii na Wyspie Północnej.
Jest jednym z kilku pasm górskich będących częścią biegnącego równolegle do wschodniego wybrzeża wyspy grzbietu, ciągnącego się od Przylądku Wschodniego na północnym wschodzie po stolicę kraju Wellington na południowym zachodzie.

Geografia
Rimutaka Range ciągnie się na długości 55 km z południowego zachodu (Przylądek Turakirae Head) na północny wschód (górny bieg doliny rzeki Hutt) gdzie graniczy z pasmem Tararua Range. Najwyższym szczytem pasma jest Mount Matthews (940 m n.p.m.).

Rimutaka Rail Trail
12 sierpnia 1878 przez pasmo przeprowadzono linię kolejową, z najbardziej znanym, stromym odcinkiem Rimutaka Incline (odcinek z maksymalnym nachyleniem 7,7% na długości ok. 4½ km). 30 października 1955 roku odcinek ten zastąpiono tunelem Rimutaka Tunnel. Wyłączony z normalnego ruchu odcinek został odbudowany i stanowi turystyczną oraz historyczną atrakcję.

A Gift to the Church: The Didache High School Textbook Series
by Ronald M. Vierling
Fr. Ronald M. Vierling, M.F.C., M.A., M.Div. reviews an exciting new high school religion series which promises to provide an effective tool to strenghten the faith of Catholic youth.

The past forty years have witnessed a serious malaise in the area of catechetics. The root of this crisis can be traced to the doctrinal confusion spurred by theological dissent in the years following the Second Vatican Council and the adoption of secular educational pedagogies that came into vogue in the sixties. Education became not the training of the human person to receive human insights combined with Divine Revelation in the pursuit of truth, goodness, and beauty, as much as it considered children as natural moral philosophers who, free from the oppression of doctrine and discipline, could discover freely the true meaning of life.
Some of these theories invariably worked their way into the catechetical enterprise. In the years immediately following the Second Vatican Council, salvation history, the story of God's Providence unfolding through historical circumstances, became the focus of catechetical instruction. According to this model, the role of catechetics was no longer to educate the human person to grasp the meaning of Catholicism through abstract, doctrinal formulas. The emphasis now was upon building community and social relevancy through activism. This shift in the catechetical paradigm prepared the way for 'process theology' whereby God, it was said, revealed Himself continually in human affairs as He once did through the prophets of old. The traditional concept of catechesis as a handing-on of a received Deposit of Faith, guarded and preserved by the Catholic Church through the ages, and binding on the Christian faithful, became rendered a dispensable component of the Catholic inheritance. Doctrine was redefined as something no longer 'static', but 'dynamic' and 'evolving' as each day brought forth new revelations based upon the subjective experience of the recipient. "I feel" replaced "I believe" as the opening words for the creed of the new order. The proper object for catechetics was now the realm of the purely subjective experience of religion. Textbooks began to reflect this new think as the doctrinal formulations and the traditional vocabulary of theology that provided cohesion to the Catholic community and linked the present generation to their ancestors in the faith, were supplanted by the ongoing revelatory experiences of the faithful. This experimental method contributed to the rise of 'cafeteria Catholicism' which permitted the individual to decide for himself what Jesus Christ or Catholicism meant (in praxis, Catholicism has always been a religion of believers, half-believers, and hangers-on. The difference today, no doubt inspired by modern catechetics, is that the half-believers and hangers-on now claim official status in the Church although their adherence to Church teaching varies by degrees). The freedom of the individual became the final arbiter of what was or what was not in conformity with Catholic belief and practice. An individual could embrace any point of view or engage virtually in any practice, without jeopardizing either their membership in the Church or their eternal salvation. The effects of the new catechetics became readily discernable: a precipitous decline in the Sunday Mass attendance and confession regularity.
As years passed, the experimental method of catechesis became de rigueur in the United States notwithstanding the best efforts of Vatican dicasteries and some American bishops to rectify a lamentable situation. Influenced by theological dissenters in the field of catechesis, producers of contemporary religion materials continued to adopt the experimental method although the effects of the new methodology was perceptibly detrimental. Combining vague theology and stressing self-actualization, religion textbooks and catechesis became less concerned with fostering a living, conscious, and active faith through the light of Christian instruction, but sauntered into the realm of pop-psychology and personality development. (My own high school freshmen religion class was titled "Identity and Personality"). "How do you feel about…?" became the standard opening line for religious classroom instruction, and 'love' was the answer to every test question. Students of religion were expected to act as theologians before they were introduced to the sacred mysteries of the faith through sound doctrinal instruction. Sadly, such remained the state of affairs in religious education until the publication of the Catechism of the Catholic Church which initiated the beginnings of a true renewal of catechetics and a return to a more traditional understanding of the true purpose of religious instruction.
Development of textbooks for the primary grades became the initial objective for Catholic publishers, the Faith and Life and Image of God series ranked among the most notable of the early contributions. For many years, however, the development of a textbook series for students of high school level theology remained unfulfilled. Most happily, this situation is about to be rectified.
Identifying the need for solid catechetical texts on the secondary level, the Midwest Theological Forum has produced a stunning new series of books, the Didache High School Textbook Series. Named after the first catechism of the Church, the primary sources for the content of the series are Sacred Scripture, the writings of the Fathers of the Church, the lives of the saints, the teaching of the Second Vatican Council, of the Popes (especially that of the Papal Magisterium of John Paul II), and the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Traditional terms and definitions, unique to the received Catholic tradition and offering a common language of faith, are utilized and explained. The textbooks feature rich illustrations and are handsomely bound. All books in the series are accompanied by a comprehensive teacher's guide.
The first two volumes of this projected four-part series, Introduction to Catholicism and Our Moral Life in Christ, have now been published. The final two books of the series, The History of the Church and Understanding the Scriptures will be available in late Fall 2003.
The Didache High School Textbook Series has garnered the enthusiastic support of Cardinal Francis George of Chicago and such notables as theologian Scott Hahn. I received my advance copy of Introduction to Catholicism on May 13, the Feast of Our Lady of Fatima. At Fatima, Our Lady predicted a widespread apostasy and a loss of faith. Defective catechesis has been responsible for advancing the fulfillment of this prophecy. A recent study commissioned by the Cardinal Newman Society and published in the March 2003 issue of Catholic World Report reported an alarming loss of faith among graduates of Catholic institutions. Clearly, Catholic youth are receiving an insufficient grounding in the science of divine Catholic faith.
With the publication of the Didache series, however, an effective catechetical tool has been provided to the Church to strengthen the solidity of the faith and of Christian living, offering fresh vigor to catechetical initiatives in hand, and should help to spread among the Catholic community the joy of bringing the mystery of Jesus Christ to the world.

Gabrielle Union Reveals Her Battle With Suicidal Thoughts Amid Perimenopause Diagnosis: 'I Fell Into Something So Dark'
By Caitlyn Hitt
Gabrielle Union opened up about her mental health struggles during the Goop Health virtual summit on Saturday, March 6.
Inside Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade's Romance Through the Years
Speaking with Goop founder Gwyneth Paltrow about her perimenopause diagnosis — which is the start of the natural transition to menopause — the Bring It On actress, 48, revealed that she found herself in a "dark" place.
"I've had more depressive episodes, but never for long periods of time," Union said of her symptoms. "I fell into something so dark in December that it scared me. I had a stupid argument with [husband Dwyane Wade], and instead of my usual problem-solving … immediately my brain, that little inner voice said, 'He's never going to get it unless you're dead.'"
Gabrielle Union attends the 2020 Essence Black Women In Hollywood Awards in Los Angeles on January 6, 2020. Sara De Boer/Startraks
The Being Mary Jane alum credited the work she's done with her therapist through the years and the skills she's learned with getting her through it.
"Only because I've been in therapy for half my life that I was like 'No, I don't know who is talking now, it's not my intuition,'" she told Paltrow, noting that she turned to "talk therapy" and focused on regulating her hormones.
Union added, "Luckily, I was at home and I alerted everyone."
Stars Share Their Fertility Struggles
The Bad Boys II actress revealed she was first diagnosed with perimenopause in her 30's, but her symptoms had recently "reached a fever pitch." Explaining just how challenging it has been mentally, Union said, "I thought I was losing my mind."
She continued: "I thought I had early-onset dementia, Alzheimer's. I gained 20 pounds overnight of water retention, inflammation — bizarre. I couldn't think. Now, when I have to public speak in the last few months, I'm so anxious, because I'm like, 'Am I going to remember words?'"
Union admitted during Saturday's event, "Separating the symptoms from who you really are … to say that it's a challenge, I don't think I really have the words, or I lost them, to describe what these last few months have been."
This isn't the first time the We're Going to Need More Wine author has gotten candid about her mental health. In September 2020, amid the coronavirus pandemic and social unrest, Union talked with Women's Health magazine about her struggle with PTSD.
"The combination of a pandemic and this racial reckoning, alongside being inundated with [images of] the brutalization of Black bodies, has sent my PTSD into overdrive," she told the outlet at the time. "There's just terror in my body."
Stars Who Had Children After Miscarriages
Union has also been open about her struggles with infertility, revealing that she and Wade, 39, suffered several miscarriages before deciding to work with a surrogate to welcome their youngest child, Kaavia, in 2018.
She and the former NBA player wed in August 2014 after several years of dating. Union is a stepmother to Zaire, 19, Zaya, 13, and Xavier, 7 — Wade's children from a previous relationship.
If you or someone you know is in emotional distress or considering suicide, call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (8255).

Keys such as '+', '<' and tab don't seem to work.
Also, '-' is mistakenly interpreted as 'insert'.
Hmm, the '+' etc. is probably due to it grabbing the shift key first. Perhaps the simplest solution would be to make it ignore the shift key and make shift available from the menu. I think I remember the '-' problem too, I'll have to look into it.
In my keyboard, '+' is the 'lowercase' of '*', so I'm not pressing shift when I write it.
Game Maker does not support these keys. Not a bug.
I realised right after I wrote that that those keys aren't supported, however the '-' being mistaken for insert is something I've confirmed and will commit the fix for soon.

Canning Insights
Obituary: David Montgomery, Viscount Montgomery of Alamein
Professor Tim Connell
Canning House regrets to announce the death of David Montgomery, Viscount Montgomery of Alamein CMG CBE, who passed away on 8th January 2020 at the age of 91.
David Montgomery, Viscount Montgomery of Alamein
Educated at Winchester and Trinity College Cambridge (where he took a degree in Engineering), David also served as a young man with the Royal Tank Regiment.
During a long and successful business life David held a range of directorships and was involved for many years with overseas consultancy work. He developed close links with Latin America which were greatly appreciated by all sides, to the extent that he received decorations from the governments of Argentina, Chile, Mexico and Venezuela as well as Spain and Brazil. He was appointed CBE in 1975 and CMG in 2000. David was a lifelong supporter of the Hispanic and Luso-Brazilian Council at Canning House, and was a worthy recipient of the first Canning Medal in 2013. He played an important role on committees and in the complex discussions about the future of Canning House which led to the successful move from Number 2 Belgrave Square in 2014.
David became a peer in 1976 following the death of his father and sat in the House of Lords until hereditary peerages were abolished in 1999. It was a reflection of his ability, experience and personal manner that he subsequently returned to the Lords in 2005 as an elected hereditary peer, and equally characteristic that he sat as a crossbencher where he could speak more independently on current issues.
His advice was always respected and his views were welcome. His range of connections both at home and abroad contributed significantly to the work of Canning House. His charm and personal style were of considerable benefit to the many activities of the Hispanic and Luso-Brazilian Council, where he will be sadly missed.

If you are a guy yearning for an all-mountain ski that will take you everywhere, from deep powder to boiler-plate ice and want to rip master carves as well as play on your skis, Blizzard Bonafide skis may be for you.
With innovative technology changing the way ski experts are viewing traditional rocker design and a lightweight core that has never been seen before, the Blizzards are at the forefront of the skiing world!
With a sidecut of 133mm at the tip, 98mm underfoot and 118mm at the tail the Bonafides are fervently preferential to softer snow. They are between a wide and powder ski while having a rather uncanny talent when carving on the groomers. A turning radius of 21m maximizes diversity and grants the skier free-choice in regard to his/her turn size.
The Bonafides are a ski that I would only recommend for more experienced riders, anywhere between an advanced intermediate and expert level skier would be most suited to this particular ski. They weigh-in at 2.1kg per ski, due in part to a lightweight core to maximize float. The Blizzards are very stiff and may fatigue or cause injuries (by the loss of control) to those who lack mountain experience.
In short, if you are a beginner or intermediate level skier, these skis will ski you, not the other way around.
The profile of them amazed me!
Cambered underfoot, to carve up the groomers and rockered at the tip and tail, to play in powder, Blizzard Bonafide skis have what Blizzard call; Flip Core technology. In the ski world, we have observed great advances in the last decade; this may be one of those great advances.
The ski is constructed with a slight bend in the structure. This redistributes weight to allow better carving on hard-pack, by increasing the stability of the ski and optimizing floatation in crud. Furthermore, the improved weight distribution leads to smoother turn transitions and initiations. When you are on the Blizzards you can really feel this in-action, you float over any crappy snow and nail the groomers.
These skis ROCK in powder!
Although above satisfactory elsewhere on the hill, the powder is where the Bonafides come into their own. A micro-weight core when amalgamated with Blizzard's Flip Core technology, creates an awesome powder ski that will play all day, every day, the wrong side of the piste-markers. The core construct consists of poplar, bamboo, and paulownia, the Blizzards also have dual titanium plates to increase torsional stiffness and the ski's stability.
The Blizzards have a full sidewall, sometimes referred to as a traditional sidewall. The effect of having this design is blatant as soon as these skis go on edge. The sidewalls allow the Bonafides to really power through the turn. This helps in crud as more advanced skiers can load excess weight on their outside ski to manipulate the ski through the turn. The featuring of sidewalls also leads to greater torsional stiffness, more stability and overall control of these awesome boards!
Blizzard have created a real masterpiece with the Bonafides. They have struck a perfect balance between orientating their ski towards powder skiing but maintaining ski fundamentals to allow all skier's needs to be met. They perform unimaginably well for a wider ski on the groomers and thanks to their lightweight core, due to Flip Core technology, they ride over almost any crud! Their lightness makes the Bonafides perfect for those skiers lacking fitness, as they will reduce your chance of fatigue.
The Bonafides will be the right ski for almost any situation, whether you are in knee-deep powder or sheet ice. The Blizzards allow an intermediate skier to drive the skis throughout the turn, float over crud and have a whole load of fun! Blizzard Bonafide Skis are a skiing revolution, will you be left behind?


The first kind of mechanical marine propulsion engine was the steam engine that came into existence during the 19th century. From the 20th century onward, steam engines have been increasingly substituted by two-stroke and four-stroke diesel engines and gas turbine engines. Marine propulsion is the mechanism to generate thrust for the movement of vessels across water bodies. Most modern ships today use mechanical systems that comprise motors or engines turning the propeller. The turbine propulsion technology is one of the many propulsion technologies available and is slowly gaining importance over the diesel propulsion technology. The growth can be attributed to the efficiency and environmental benefits of the turbine propulsion technology.
Technavio's analysts forecast the global marine turbine propulsion engine market to grow at a CAGR of 5.11% during the period 2017-2021.
The report covers the present scenario and the growth prospects of the global marine turbine propulsion engine market for 2017-2021. The report presents a detailed picture of the market by way of study, synthesis, and summation of data from multiple sources.
Technavio's report, Global Marine Turbine Propulsion Engine Market 2017-2021, has been prepared based on an in-depth market analysis with inputs from industry experts. The report covers the market landscape and its growth prospects over the coming years. The report also includes a discussion of the key vendors operating in this market.
