Global modeling of water availability, water use, and water quality
The WaterGAP model (Water - a Global Assessment and Prognosis) has been developed at the Center over the past decade with a first implementation in 1997. The overall aim is to investigate current and future world-wide water availability, water use and water quality. Whereas water availability and water use have been implemented, a water quality module is currently under development and constitutes the next major goal. In particular, Water-GAP is concerned with the various impacts of global change on water availability and water demand, and to determine the development of water stress conditions on different spatial and temporal scales. Further research subjects are the variations of the water balance components on the hydrological large scale, and the future development of extreme conditions - such as floods and droughts.
To date, WaterGAP is being applied in a number of different projects. The model combines a hydrological module for the determination of global water resources and water availability, and a water use module to quantify water consumption from different economical sectors, including a sub-model for an assessment of global irrigation requirements. Until now, the following results can be reported for the hydrological module WGHM of WaterGAP
In order to enhance WGHM towards an integration of the hydrologically relevant processes of lake and wetland retention and evaporation, a new Global Lakes and Wetlands Database has been created (Lehner and Döll, 2004).
The introduction of a sub-grid variability in the snow sub-model of WGHM has improved the representation of snow related processes, especially the dynamics of snow accumulation and snow melt in the model (Schulze and Döll, 2004).
For a better reproduction of river discharge and in order to improve the model with respect to flooding processes, the formerly constant flow velocity is now considered as a function of actual discharge and the hydraulic conditions of the river, expressed as the roughness and drop of the river bed and its geometrical conditions (Schulze, Hunger and Döll, 2004).
The water use module in WaterGAP is subdivided into a number of sub-models according to the different water use categories. With respect to these sub-modules, the following has been accomplished:
Domestic water use: The basic approach of this sub-model is to first compute the domestic water use intensity [m³/cap-year] and then to multiply this value with the number of population. Further, it is assumed that changes in water use intensity can be expressed by structural and technological changes. The structural changes are represented by a sigmoid curve which indicates the relationship between water use intensity and income (Alcamo et al. (2000, 2003a, b). In the former model version, historical data from Shiklomanov (2000) were used to derive the sigmoid curves for 26 regions. In the new version of this sub-model, sigmoid curves for around 170 countries have been derived, with data mainly provided by national and international statistics.
Water use for electricity production: The objective of this sub-model is to compute water use for producing electricity. Here, the model simulates the amount of water withdrawn and consumed for cooling purposes (Vassolo and Döll, 2005). The former version of this model has been updated by using the newly available World Electric Power Plants Data Set of the Utility Data Institute (UDI, 2004). Additionally, the model has been validated for the base year 2000 with country data on electricity production and the volume of water used for cooling purposes in thermoelectric power plants.
Water use in the manufacturing industry: In order to assess the great diversity of industrial processes and the variety of input and output specifications, this sub-model distinguishes between six manufacturing sectors. Data on water withdrawal per sector are available for many countries from national or international statistical agencies for the base year 2000. It is assumed that future trends of water with-drawals for the manufacturing industry can be estimated by multiplying the water intensity of the base year with the future trend of the driving force. In this approach, the sector-specific gross value added (GVA) is used as driving force. The sector-specific water use intensity for the base year is obtained by dividing the sector-specific water use for the base year by the GVA. Technological improvements are considered by means of a sector-specific technological change factor. One of the main overall results reported by the model output is water stress which indicates the amount of pressure put on water resources and aquatic ecosystems by the various users. Water stress is estimated as the ratio of withdrawals to availability (w.t.a.). The higher the w.t.a.-ratio, the more repeatedly the water in a basin is used and the higher is the possibility of the resource to be polluted or depleted. As opposed to the w.t.a.-ratio which indicates changes in water quantity, the concept of "return flows" is used to assess changes in water quality. Return flows are defined as the difference between water withdrawals and consumption and thus give a first estimation of the amount of wastewater discharged back into the terrestrial water cycle. This constitutes the beginning of the development of a water quality sub-module and has resulted in a Global data set on wastewater treatment. A global data set has been developed that provides information on the percentage of population connected to a public or independent sewage system as well as the wastewater treatment technology. With this information, the amount of return flows which has undergone a wastewater treatment can be assessed.
The main task is to develop a WaterGAP 3 version with the major objectives
to increase the model's spatial resolution from 30-minutes (1/2°) to 5-minutes (1/12°). This enables a better validation of the model output with regional data and facilitates further developments in the description of hydrological processes in the model. Further, the higher spatial resolution allows to carry out detailed analyses of water-related problems on the regional scale.
to revise, in accordance with the advance in the spatial resolution of the model, the underlying data-bases on climate input parameters and natural conditions, and make them available to the appropriate spatial scale of the new model version. For example, in a joint project with WWF, a new Global Drainage Direction Map in 5-minute resolution is currently under development.
to develop a new water quality sub-model to determine nutrient and pollutant fluxes in different pathways which will allow to combine water quantity with water quality analyses.

Getty Images (NYSE: GYI) is a lot of things. Right now, they are on the chopping block, having just left the auction block, with, as the AP reports (Regulators OK Getty Images' $2.1B Buyout, 3/18/08), "Antitrust regulators have cleared private equity firm Hellman & Friedman LLC's $2.1 billion purchase of Getty Images Inc., a federal agency said Tuesday."
The company that has acquired them, Hellman & Friedman, is known for stripping down the company to increase margins on the profitable divisions, and killing off those that are not, and then dumping it - yes, for a profit. They don't do this for all their aquisitions, of course. But, they are not likely to remain in the photography business as a purveyor of images. So, what's going to go?
1) The Getty wire service is the least profitable division, and I think that, without much of the re-sales that they get, that figure might even be worse. It takes a great deal of staffing and often a shot-in-the-dark mentality when assigning coverage. In DC for example, there are many many events, and it's very had to know just what to cover. I don't envy the editors who have to make that decision. Note though, this challenge is not unique to Getty. AP, Reuters, and AFP all face similar challenges. Bloomberg is, to a small degree, immune from this, only because they are a essentially a niche wire service, covering events from a financial aspect. They are not trying to be all things to all people. Yet, Getty's wire service will likely go first.
2) The Getty editorial department. I've spoken with a few folks smarter than me on this, and there seems to be some agreement here, that this department too will be trimmed to within an inch of it's life, and may just get cut altogether. The reason? The margins are just not where they should be.
What does this leave? Oh, of course, iStockphoto, and their commercial/corporate division. Getty actually does have the potential to generate huge sums from the commercial division with all the advertising sales, exclusivity up-charges, and so forth. In addition, most anytime you can get an assignment out of someone, that's going to be fairly profitable, especially with the unfair percentages they are paying out.
In addition, Getty's sports contracts for the leagues will continue to bring them money, but more as an arm of the leagues as a distribution channel. Same for entertainment clients, more in LA and NYC than anywhere else, where event promoters want a distribution channel there as well that have the eyeballs of the entertainment news media to get pickup from their events. But, wait, isn't that editorial? Nope. When a corporate client pays you $5k to cover and event that has a few celebrities in attendance, and then you put those photos up from the arrivals area with a step-and-repeat backdrop with the clients' logo, or you are the "inside exclusive photographer" getting great photos that will look good for the commercial client, and these happen to appear in editorial coverage, that's commercial/corporate, not editorial!
Did you catch that above, I said "distribution channel" twice, for two distinct divisions? That's right friends, Getty will become a distribution channel for corporate America more so now than ever before. These are, after all, extremely profitable. Sure, they have some great archive materials, from acquired collections, but that, along with good margins elsewhere will make Getty attractive as a private acquisition.

Carolyn Wright, over at PhotoAttorney reports: - "an Illinois District Court held that Daniel Schrock of Dan Schrock Photography had no right to register his photographs of toys because they were unauthorized derivative works of the copyrights in the toys. Schrock was hired by Learning Curve Intern, Inc. ("LCI"), to shoot the toys for marketing uses. Alleging that LCI and others had used the photos beyond the license terms, Schrock sued for copyright infringement. But the Court agreed with the defendants that "without approval from the owner of the underlying [copyrighted] work, approval that was totally absent here, Schrock could not obtain a copyright over his derivative works."

Lysmata Rafa, a New Species of Peppermint Shrimp (Crustacea, Caridea, Hippolytidae) from the Subtropical Western Atlantic
Andrew L. Rhyne, Roger Williams UniversityFollow
Arthur Anker
Published in: Helgoland Marine Research, Vol. 61, 2007
Lysmata rafa n. sp. is described from freshly collected specimens from the Keys West Lakes, Florida Keys, and from a museum specimen collected at Bear Cut, Biscayne Bay, Florida. The new species is morphologically most similar to the western Atlantic Lysmata rathbunae Chace, 1970 and the eastern PaciWc Lysmata gracilirostris Wicksten, 2000, but can be distinguished from them by the number of carpal segments in the second pereiopod; the length and dentition of the rostrum; the shape and number of spines on the dactylus of the third to Wfth pereiopods; and the absence of a tooth on the pterygostomial margin of the carapace. Despite being a shallow-water species, L. rafa n. sp. has extremely elongate walking legs and third maxilliped that are more typical to deep-water or cave dwelling carideans.

Peace Process between Kabul and Afghan Insurgency must: Maleeha tells Security Council
New York, 26 September, 2017
At the UN, Pakistan called for support to a peace process between the Afghan Government and the Afghan insurgency that can bring the war to a political end.
Speaking in the Security Council debate on Afghanistan, Pakistan�s Ambassador to the UN, Dr. Maleeha Lodhi said that the Secretary-General has affirmed the strong international consensus that there was no military solution to the conflict in Afghanistan. Pakistan has long advocated this.
She also called upon the Taliban to shed violence and agree to resume talks in one or more negotiating formats. �An agreed de-escalation of the conflict and a negotiated settlement offers the best chance to end the suffering of the Afghan people and restore peace and tranquility within Afghanistan and the region�, Ambassador Lodhi said.
She reiterated what Pakistan�s Prime Minister had stated in the General Assembly last week, �What Pakistan is not prepared to do is fight the Afghan war on Pakistan�s soil."
The Pakistani envoy also said "We cannot endorse any strategy that has repeatedly failed in the past and would only prolong and intensify the suffering of the people of Afghanistan as well further destabilize the entire region�.
Ambassador Lodhi outlined three components of a strategy that she argued could restore peace in Afghanistan, namely, a coordinated effort to contain and defeat Daesh and Al Qaeda and their associates, including the TTP, JUA, ETIM and IMU; a sustained dialogue between the Afghan Government and Afghan Taliban and other insurgents willing to negotiate a peaceful settlement and effective measures to prevent cross border attacks by terrorists and militants from or to Afghanistan.
The fundamental sources of insecurity in Afghanistan lie inside and not outside, Ambassador Lodhi said and pointed out that the Afghan government would be better advised to focus more seriously on its persisting challenges and embark on a course correction.
Ambassador Lodhi warned the Council about Daesh�s expanding reach in Afghanistan, including in Kunar and Nangarhar provinces and its increased influence in the northern and western provinces. �These are worrying signs for Afghan security and for regional stability�, she remarked.
She said that the more than 20 terrorist organizations operating from its soil has been acknowledged by Afghan government, including the Tehrik Taliban Pakistan and Jamaat Ul Ahrar. �These organizations are conducting terrorist attacks inside Pakistan and pose a threat to Afghanistan's other neighbors�, she added.
Urging the Afghan Government and Coalition forces to take decisive action to eliminate terrorist safe havens in Afghanistan, she said that Pakistan continues to face terrorist attacks from across the Pakistan-Afghanistan border conducted by the TTP, JUA and IS-related groups.
Pakistan, she said, has supported all regional and international efforts to promote a peaceful settlement to the internal conflict in Afghanistan and added, �We will continue to do so�.
Ambassador Lodhi told the 15 member council that Pakistan has fought a successful war against terrorism. �Our military operations, involving over 200,000 troops, have crushed and eliminated terrorist groups in our frontier regions and our towns and cities. We have paid a heavy price: 27,000 civilians and soldiers have been martyred; 50,000 injured. Our economic losses are estimated at $120 billion�.
Pakistan expressed its commitment to extending all possible assistance to Afghan brothers and sisters, including by facilitating the transit of Afghanistan�s imports and exports through our ports, helping in construction of infrastructure projects through the utilization of the 500 million dollar commitment we made in Brussels and extending our assistance to the Afghan forces in securing their country.
Pakistan, Ambassador Lodhi said, has struggled together with the Afghan people to uphold their freedom from foreign occupation and intervention. �We strongly support Afghanistan's sovereignty. We strongly oppose its use in geo-political power games "
She concluded by commenting that while others can afford to orchestrate a proxy war to destabilize Afghanistan and its neighbors, for Pakistan a stable Afghanistan is vital for our own peace, stability and progress.

Teleclub est un éditeur suisse alémanique de chaînes de télévision payantes.

Présentation

Teleclub a été créé en 1982 en Suisse et diffusa également ses programmes en Allemagne de 1984 à 1991. Il est l'un des premiers diffuseurs de télévision payante en Europe.

Jusqu'en 2001, Teleclub était diffusé par satellite (d'abord sur Astra 1, puis sur DFS-Kopernikus) et n'est maintenant disponible que sur le câble et sur Swisscom TV en Suisse. Pour les propriétaires d'installation satellite et les personnes ne pouvant recevoir Teleclub par le câble ou Swisscom TV, Teleclub propose des abonnements au bouquet allemand Premiere, avec des offres et des tarifs différents de ceux proposés en Allemagne. Cependant, les canaux propres de Teleclub (notamment Teleclub Sports) sont inaccessibles par satellite.

Pour ses canaux Teleclub Sport, Teleclub a acheté en 2006 les droits de retransmission TV pour le football avec la Super League (championnat suisse) et la Ligue des champions, ainsi que pour le championnat suisse de hockey sur glace (LNA), les deux sports les plus populaires en Suisse. Teleclub diffuse ainsi deux matchs en direct et en exclusivité lors de chaque journée de Super League. Deux matchs sont également proposés en direct lors de chaque journée de Ligue des champions, ainsi que tous les autres matchs en simulcast en direct, puis en différé. Pour le hockey sur glace, ce sont jusqu'à quatre matchs par journée et tous les matchs des play-off qui sont diffusés. Le résultat de ces opérations sur les autres chaînes suisses est une diminution des matchs de football suisse sur les chaînes publiques (SSR). Depuis , Teleclub exploite la chaîne sportive gratuite Teleclub Zoom avec des contenus sportifs exclusifs, des émissions en direct, des productions internes et des reportages.

Le , Teleclub annonce son arrivée en Romandie et des programmes démarrant le  en offrant une offre spécifiquement pensée pour la Suisse romande et présente via Swisscom TV.

Depuis , les packs francophones Teleclub Premium et Teleclub Sports sont également disponibles chez l'opérateur suisse Sunrise.

Organisation

Capital
Le principal actionnaire de Teleclub est la firme Cinetrade AG, ainsi que le groupe suisse de média Ringier. En 2005 Swisscom a acquis une partie de Cinetrade AG, afin de mettre en œuvre sa propre offre de télévision par ADSL, nommée Swisscom TV, avec en plus des programmes standards, les canaux de Teleclub et un service de vidéo à la demande. Des tests se déroulent depuis . Les canaux de Teleclub seront alors également disponible en français (actuellement uniquement en allemand). En 2013, Swisscom détenait 75 % de Cinetrade AG.

En , Swisscom acquiert les 25 % restants du capital de Cinetrade AG.

The North Hill RSPB Reserve includes one of the largest areas of maritime heath in the UK and supports a wide variety of birds and other wildlife.
North Hill is managed by the RSPB in partnership with Scottish Natural Heritage and the people of Papa Westray. Because of its importance for wildlife, it is designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest and a Special Protection Area.
North Hill is located at the northern tip of Papa Westray and is open at all times with free entry. You can either explore the reserve at your own pace or (in summer) join a guided tour with the warden.
During the breeding season (spring and summer), please keep to the coastline and stay well away from the tern colonies. We would prefer dogs to be kept off the reserve at this time of year; if you do bring a dog, it must be kept on a lead.


You want to move indoor comfort outdoors with a nice patio seating set but can't make up your mind? Patio seating sets are available in a wide variety of designs, materials, sizes and colors. We're here to help. Here are a few tips you would like to know to make an educated purchase.
Make sure you have enough space. Patio seating sets require space. To make optimal use of your outdoor space, you should take the measuring tape and measure the area you will use for your seating set.
Assess number of guests for seating. Every setting is different. Think how many people you would like to seat on this patio set.
Choose item type and size. Seating sets come in a wide variety. You need to choose if you want club chairs, sofas, loungers or even sectional seating. Ask for the size of each individual piece to see if they fit your space.
Choose a color scheme. Select a color for your seating set. Go outside and look at the space you'll use to make sure your choice of color will fit.
Decide if you want cushions. You need to decide if you want cushions or slings. If you don't like maintaining cushions then you should look for sling seating. Cushions have the advantage of providing comfort and also bringing color and elegance. You can use cushions to colorize the dining area. Sling furniture is limited in designs. If you want deep seating comfort you must use cushions.
Find out if assembly is required. Assembly can be timely. Make sure you know if the seating set you ordered needs assembly or not.
Ask for type of delivery. Seating sets are usually delivered via freight liners. Most freight deliveries are curbside which means you need to carry the furniture from curbside to your home.
Ask for a winter cover. Once summer is over you will need to cover your seating set. Unless you can move all your furniture indoors we really recommend covering your patio furniture.
Choose a material. Choose a material and design that will serve your taste. Below is the pros and cons of each material.
Outdoor Wicker Patio Sets: Furniture with aluminum frame and synthetic woven wicker wrapped around.
Aluminum frames are durable and rust free.
Wide variety of modern or classic designs.
Deep seaters and sectionals are widely available.
Require cushions for better comfort.

Large in size for storage.
Resin Seating Sets: White plastic patio seating furniture.
Can be used with or without cushions.
No Maintenance. Easy to clean.
Deep seaters are usually not available.
Usually offered in white color.
Wind might knock them down.
Teak Patio Sets: Teak wood seating sets bring an earthy look for all wood lovers.
Teak wood is strong and durable for outdoors.
Deep seating pieces are widely available.
Doesn't get too hot under sun.
Requires periodic maintenance such as oiling.
Hard to fix if broken.

One of the biggest challenges that many businesses face when it comes to growth is actually hiring for the scale and recruiting the right talent in order to get them the growth that they require.
Many people actually recruit based on the capacity issues that they have today, rather than actually thinking six to 12 months to 18 months down the track and recruiting for the scaling issues that they?re going to have then.
If you really want to grow, if you really want to scale, you need to recruit and you need to hire based on the growth that you want, not the growth that you have. Scale fast!
When is it OK to cheat on my business?

Raynaud has unveiled its latest creation: a variation of patterns and colours opening up a multitude of superbly elegant table-setting possibilities. Three different patterns, each available in four colours, adorn these new creations like precious fabrics brought back from distant travels. Mariela Schwarz, a designer who usually creates sophisticated footwear and fashion accessories, drew her inspiration from sari fabrics and Indian tapestries, creations that she admires for their delicate prints and audacious combination of striking colours. Soft beige and frosty chestnut pieces are adorned with a honeycomb motif and inter-woven threads, some of which are underscored with gold, and complement brighter, more exotically-coloured pieces of strong turquoise and rich orange. Motifs and colours can be mixed and matched, dressing a table with a sunburst of bright colours or pieces in similar hues, as preferred.

Chetan Hansraj to play ParvatakMalayketu in Chandra-Nandni
by atul | Oct 13, 2016 | Free Press Releases
Popular TV actor Chetan Hansraj is all to be back on TV. This time round, he will be seen playing the role of ParvatakMalayketu in Ekta Kapoor's Chandra-Nandni on STAR Plus.
Co-incidentally, the actor will be pitted against his former on screen rival, RajatTokas for the third time. The two actors have previously worked together in Prithviraj Chauhan and Jodha Akbar.
While the equation the two actors get to share on screen may be full of hatred and revenge, we hear that the off screen bond between the two popular actors is very warm and cordial.
Throwing light on the same Chetan Hansraj commented, "I will be playing the role of ParvatakMalayketu in Chandra-Nandni. He is also student of Chanakya along with ChandraguptMaurya. The character and role is extremely interesting. Malayketu is always against Chandragupt as they don't get along. But it's going to be a riot to be working with Rajat again. He has come a long way from his first show until Chandra-Nandni. He is definitely here to stay and I am sure that we will create the same magic with this show as well."
Well Chetan we hope for the same too.
Chandra-Nandni starts 10th October 2016 at 8.30 PM from Monday to Friday on STAR Plus

What to expect in Gov. Mills' budget
Contributed • January 6, 2021
By David Farmer Gov. Janet Mills is expected to release details of her proposed budget on Friday.
By David Farmer
Gov. Janet Mills is expected to release details of her proposed budget on Friday.
The budget comes as the state continues to deal with the economic crisis caused by COVID-19 and its impact on many working families.
The good news — or perhaps the less-bad news — is that the state's economy has performed better than predicted during the earliest days of the pandemic. Wages and salaries have rebounded better than expected — all those do-it-yourself outdoor projects helped to prop up revenues even as spending in other areas slipped, particularly in the hospitality sector.
As we await the release of the Mills' budget, a poll released in December provides some insight on what voters are hoping to see.
The poll, which included 600 Maine respondents contacted online and via the telephone between Nov. 30 and Dec. 6 by the progressive advocacy group Mainers for Working Families, found that strong majorities want to protect essential services and believe that it's critical that the federal government increase its response to COVID-19.
Fifty-eight percent of respondents support increased federal COVID-19 support, while only 21 percent say that the state should cut spending.
The poll found that Mainers understand the importance of investment to help the economy grow. Sizeable majorities in the poll support expanded funding for roads and bridges and education, and 50 percent said they support more spending for health care.
More than 60 percent of respondents said that they would support policies that control the costs of health care — particularly prescription drugs — and make health insurance more affordable and accessible. And 57 percent said they supported allowing people to buy into the state's Medicaid program.
Maine is notorious for being extremely sensitive to tax and fee increases. But this poll found that voters are prioritizing investment over austerity and would be willing to consider a number of tax changes to ensure those investments occur.
No surprise, 70 percent say that they would support policies that ensure that corporations pay their fair share by closing tax loopholes, and 58 percent say that the wealthy should be paying more.
The findings from the poll aren't surprising. Most Mainers recognize that during a time of a global emergency, government has a big role to play in making sure that people have enough to eat, a safe place to live and an economic bridge to recovery.
When businesses are closed through no fault of their own — when the economy was strong but-for the coronavirus — people see that the old tropes about lazy people gaming the system don't hold much water.
Mainers want everyone to have access to quality affordable health care, they see that schools and colleges need more resources, and they know we have to maintain key infrastructure if our economy is to recover. And they are willing to pay for it.
Mills has been pragmatic and cautious in her response to COVID-19. She has prioritized public health while trying to put guardrails up around the economy to keep as many people as possible from sliding into despair.
The balance is tricky. With Maine's COVID-19 numbers surging, more restrictions make sense, but without new aid to businesses, the governor has been reluctant to go beyond current measures.
She has weathered criticism from Republicans, who casually throw around words such as dictator and tyrant, but the results speak for themselves. Maine's public health and economy have survived better than most other states.
On Friday, Mills is likely to unveil a modest budget that includes increased spending to meet Maine's needs.
Republicans will cry foul.
But Mainers are clear. This is no time for foolish and arbitrary austerity. It's a time to invest in one another and in our state's long-term health.

I have been working with beauty products since 1979. After learning the ins and outs of the business, gaining experience in selling directly to the customer and making many good contacts, I decided to try and go it alone.
I started making my own cosmetics in 1999. My first company, BP4U, provides quality products at discount prices with the ease of shopping online.
I am now building a major brand: Bad Apple. In 2006 I trade marked Bad Apple Hair, then in 2011 I trade marked Bad Apple Cosmetics. One of the big USP's of my brand is that we make and sell cosmetics that contain less harmful chemicals. For example we have a stunning range of professional standard, no-drip, no-chip, nail varnishes made from quality materials that do not contain any Formaldehyde, Toluene, DBP or Parabens.
I love the beauty business; it moves so fast. This, of course, means that I have to be constantly creative and keep moving my brand forward. I am currently working on a program that salons can use to take any picture and add them on a nail wrap and print them from on any printer.
I am going to work hard to build my business and see it go from strength to strength. I will promote my website worldwide and take my brand Bad Apple Cosmetics & Hair Products, Worldwide.


We often think of babies and toddlers when we hear the words "babyproofing" or "childproofing." And it's true that young kids have the highest risk of being injured at home because that's where they spend most of their time. But accidental injury is the leading cause of death in kids up to 14 years old — and more than a third of these injuries happen at home.
Here are some simple ways to help prevent injuries in your home.
Common causes of home-injury deaths are fire and burns, suffocation, drowning, choking, falls, poisoning, and guns.
You can make these places safer, but the most important safeguard is to watch young kids at all times. Even if your home is childproofed, it only takes an instant for babies and toddlers to fall, run over to a hot stove, or put the wrong thing in their mouths. Your watchfulness is your child's best defense.
Learn cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and the age-appropriate Heimlich maneuver.
Install smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors. Change the batteries regularly.

just smooth. I hadn't seen anything like it." (Friedman & Berliner (1992) p. 71-72) It makes me wonder about plastics and how they use developments for the space race first, and then decades later, release them to the public, but I'm sure that Loretta at that time would only have seen black bakelite, a rigid, shiny brittle early plastic, but it's not unthinkable is it that they may have been developing polymers and latex. I just wonder why Mac Brazel hadn't picked up a more impressive piece to show them. Floyd and Mac were both dead, by the time the researchers found out in 1978 from Jesse Marcel that anything untoward had occurred.


The Porsche motorsport department is presenting Weissach's latest treat at the Geneva Motor Show: the 911 GT3 RS with motorsport chassis and 383-kW (520-hp), four-litre, high-speed naturally aspirated engine. The new high-performance sports car is based on the 911 GT3, which has been refined still further to combine the performance-enhanced engine with a running-gear setup that features re-calibrated rear axle steering designed for maximum dynamics and precision. The 911 GT3 RS accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.2 seconds, reaching a top speed of 312 km/h. Following the launch of the 911 GT3 and the 911 GT2 RS, this latest release will see Porsche present its third GT road-approved sports car within a year.
Aerodynamics have determined the design of the wide, weight-optimised body with its classic rigid rear wing. The racing look continues into the interior with full bucket seats made of carbon to provide secure lateral support in response to high-level driv-ing dynamics. Lightweight door panels with storage nets and opening loops, reduced sound absorption and the new lightweight rear lid further emphasise the consistency of the material choices.
Technology straight from motorsport ensures that the chassis offers exceptional driv-ing dynamics. Ball joints on all arms provide even greater precision than conventional elastokinematic bearings. 20-inch lightweight wheels with newly developed 265/35 sports tyres on the front axle enhance agility and steering behaviour, while 21 inch wheels with 325/30 tyres at the rear axle improve traction.
As with all current GT sports cars, the Clubsport package is also available for the 911 GT3 RS at no extra cost. The package includes a roll-over bar, a manual fire extin-guisher, preparation for a battery disconnect switch and a six-point belt for a sporty driving experience.

After the draft was endorsed by the State Defence Council in September, Artūras Paulauskas, chairman of the parliamentary National Security and Defence Committee, said that the strategy had been updated in the wake of changes to the security situation in the region. The document was last updated in 2012.
"The draft features updated national security background and interests, an actualized list of risk factors, national security hazards and threats, updated and specified priorities and tasks for implementation of national security policies, consolidated decisions taken in response to the changed state security situation, changes in the public, energy, economic, information and cyber security, bilateral cooperation and other fields. In light of the changing character of threats, the draft no longer includes provisions that have no direct impact upon national security of the Republic of Lithuania," reads an explanatory note.

Cristiano Ronaldo Transfer: Former Manchester United Attacker Linked With a Move to Saudi Arabia After Fifa World Cup
By Uday Partap Singh
Cristiano Ronaldo transfer: Manchester United terminated the contract of the Portugal international earlier this month. The 37-year-old attacker gave a controversial interview with Piers Morgan, in which he openly criticized the Red Devils board and manager Erik ten Hag.
The Portugal international joined the Manchester outfit for his second spell before the start of the 2021-22 season. Ronaldo played 40 Premier League games after rejoining the Red Devils, recording 19 goals and three assists.
According to a report by CBS Sports, Cristiano Ronaldo's transfer offer has been made by Saudi Arabia club Al Nassr. The Riyadh outfit is one of the most successful clubs in Saudi Arabia, boasting nine league titles in their trophy cabinet. They also reached the final of the AFC Champions League in 1995.
They offered the former Manchester United attacker a contract worth £186 million to bring him to Mrsool Park. Cristiano Ronaldo's transfer is currently among the biggest talking points in football. Apart from Al Nassr, Chelsea and Newcastle United are interested in Cristiano Ronaldo's transfer.

Cristiano Ronaldo Transfer: Focus on the FIFA World Cup for Ronaldo
He is currently fulfilling his international commitments with Portugal National Football Team at the FIFA World Cup. Portugal World Cup squad is among the most talented in the competition. They are among the top contenders to lift the trophy.
The Selecaos' registered a 3-2 win against Ghana in their opening game of the tournament. Cristiano Ronaldo was among the goals for the Selecao, while Bernardo Silva, Bruno Fernandes and Joao Felix also featured during the game.
They will next lock horns against Uruguay at the Lusail Stadium on November 29. Meanwhile, Cristiano Ronaldo's transfer to his next potential club is expected to take place after the FIFA World Cup.
Bruno Guimarães doesn't want Cristiano Ronaldo transfer to Newcastle United
Newcastle United are among the clubs who have shown interest in signing Cristiano Ronaldo in recent weeks. Midfielder Bruno Guimaraes hinted that he doesn't want Cristiano Ronaldo to transfer to St James' Park.
While speaking to the Brazillian online service provider UOL Esporte, he said: "Trippier and I were the first to believe in the project, so fans have a special affection."
"I think Newcastle need players with that mentality; it's not about signing everyone just because they have money. It's not bringing Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar, or Mbappe. It's not like this."
Guimaraes has impressed with his performances since joining Newcastle United from Lyon in the January transfer window of 2022. He has played 29 Premier League so far, registering eight goals and three assists. The 25-year-old midfielder is currently with Brazil at the FIFA World Cup 2022.

Stossel Defamation Ruling Gives Shirley Sherrod a Legal Leg to Stand On
Jeff Bercovici
A federal appeals court ruled to allow a defamation case against TV news de-bunker John Stossel to move forward -- a ruling that could mean bad news for conservative blogger Andrew Breitbart, who posted a tightly-edited segment of a speech by Department of Agriculture employee Shirley Sherrod that made it sound as if she were confessing to racist acts.
The Stossel case revolves around a 2007 report on ABC's 20/20 about televangelist Rev. Frederick Price. In painting Price as a greedy braggart, Stossel used a video clip that appeared to show him boasting about his vast material wealth. The clip was actually a portion of a sermon in which Price preached against greed by adopting the character of a wealthy man.
Price's defamation suit against Stossel was initially disallowed on the grounds that Stossel used the misleading clip to make an accurate point -- that Price is extremely rich. But the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Tuesday that "the context in which Price's words were presented materially changed the words' meaning." The question now turns to whether Stossel (who now works for Fox Business Network) and his producers knew they were misrepresenting the nature of the clip. If so, Price will be able to argue that their actions constituted "actual malice," something that public figures must establish to prove defamation.
Price's saga neatly parallels the tribulations endured by Sherrod, who delivered a speech to the NAACP about the personal transformation that allowed her to leave behind her youthful hostility toward and distrust of white people. By editing the video clip of her speech, Breitbart made it appear as though Sherrod was bragging about having denied help to a white farmer while working for the federal government. Sherrod says she plans to sue, and it should be easy enough for her to establish damages, since Breitbart's posting quickly led to her firing. (Sherrod recently turned down an offer of a new job at the U.S. Department of Agriculture.)

The mere thought of this makes me cringe, due to my uncontrollable hate on Soulja Boy. But it's true. The teacher himself made the statement on BET.
BET was holding a little talking heads show that involved Soulja Boy and KRS-One discussing their different perceptions on what hip hop means.
Just to prove my point, Soulja Boy apparently views 50 Cent as "old school". Tell me it's hard not to bristle at that.
In case you're wondering, the "sit behind a computer" comment is squarely aimed at Ice-T. On this one, I'm probably going to have to side against you, KRS. I think Soulja Boy is not the way to go. I don't welcome him to hip hop, but I appreciate him getting people to have a good time. His style is just not what hip hop means to me, on a personal level.
Still, nice to see people out there actually discussing things like rational adults.
Smirnoff Vodka has launched a new website called the Smirnoff Signature Mix Series. It pairs some pretty sick emcees with various amazing producers to produce what could be seen as some sellout tracks. They're remixes for the modern day of some old classics. And each one comes with a drink recipe, so check it out here.
At the site you can download the tracks and watch some pretty awesome studio footage of them being recorded, so I highly suggest it. But, for your auditory pleasure, I've gone ahead and streamed the tracks for you. So check them out below.


Maria Ripoll is an award winning Spanish film director based in Barcelona with over 8 feature films to her name, in Spain and the USA. We worked together on the soundtrack of her last three films, the award winning "Traces of Sandalwood" and the comedy blockbusters "It's Now or Never" and "Don't Blame Karma For Being An Idiot".
"Each movie and each soundtrack are a world in themselves, and it's very difficult to explain your ideas to a musician because it's a very abstract communication. So it's great when you find someone that understands you like Simon does - it doesn't happen often. So I hope we will do many more films together."
VASAVA is one of the top communication studios in Spain. They always bet on the most creative ideas for their projects and their clients and collaborators include Adobe, Nike, Louis Vuitton and many many more.
"Simon is not just an excellent musician and composer. I seriously believe he is some kind of mentalist, capable of reading your mind and discovering just what you were imagining. His ability to nail the tone, style and language of just what you are looking for almost scares me... and best of all he's always bang on time."
Denis is a talented spanish director whose award winning short films have shown at prestigious festivals worldwide. His comercial work includes many top brands including Vodafone, Tetrapak and Phillips.
"A great musician. Few words to define what it is to be professional, dedicated, talented and creative. We have worked together both in films and advertising and the experience was always enriching and rewarding. When working on my sci-fi / horror short "Lazarus Taxon" (premiered Sitges 2008), the musical references I had were of the highest level - Peter Gabriel and other musically complex soundtracks - and Simon rose to the challenge and improved upon my initial directions, surprising me with the final results while improving the entire concept of the film from its core."
Boris is a highly talented, award winning young filmmaker based in Los Angeles.
"Simon is a highly intuitive, gifted composer who has helped me out of several time-crunches. He is everything a director could hope for with his great attitude, work ethic and flexibility.
I look forward to working with him again and again"
Joel and Forma and Co are one of those creative graphic teams that always come up with interesting work, whatever the brief. Clients include MTV, Paramount, VW, Citroen and Danone.
"We have worked with Simon on various motion graphics projects, and he always knows just what soundworld is required, quickly and effectively, complimenting the graphics and movements through his music with great elegance and subtlety in the details."
I have worked with Tilman since he was creative director at Summa. Now he is a partner at Mucho, a visual communications and graphics studio with offices in Barcelona y Berlin. Clients include Carolina Herrera, BMW, Random House Mondadori and the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía.
Tavo is one of the leading motion graphics artists in Spain, whose clients include Nike, Diesel, Joaquin Cortes, MTV, VH1, La Sexta, KIA and many more.
"To count on Simon at Bcnsound for projects is to ensure for yourself quality in the final result. He is one of the most versatile music producers you can find and always brings more to every project than you could hope for."

How to Handle Being Sick While You're Pregnant
Is there anything worse than being sick while you're pregnant? I will never forget the time when I was pregnant with my third child and I had spent days literally running puking kids back and forth in my house in (mostly vain) attempts to catch some of their vomit in the toilet. I had cleaned puke from between couch springs, off of eyebrows, and – in one horrific instance – in the tiny holes of the safety rail on my toddler's bed. (Side note: puke never truly comes off of those things, so if this happens to you, you might want to consider tossing it out!)

I was overwhelmed and exhausted, and just when I thought I couldn't take any more, I remembered that I was on call that day for my job as a nurse. I said a silent prayer that I wouldn't get called in that night of all nights. Then, exactly one hour later, my phone rang at the precise time that my stomach churned and I was forced to sprint/waddle to the toilet, where I proceeded to empty all the contents of my digestive system. My husband answered the phone for me, trying to explain to my supervisor that I was really sick, but of course, they thought I was faking it. I was written up and then had to feel guilty on top of trying to survive the stomach bug with two sick toddlers.
Good times, huh?
The point is, it can feel completely overwhelming to get sick while you're pregnant. Not only are you already dealing with the aches and pains and sometimes literal sickness of being pregnant already, but then to add in an actual sickness and it feels like too much. Even a minor cold can feel overwhelming when you're pregnant. Oh, and fun fact: did you know that your immune system actually goes down when you're pregnant? It's like we just can't win! Except for the whole baby at the end part, of course. If you're currently dealing with being sick while you're pregnant or just want to be prepared for when illness strikes, here's what you need to know about being sick during pregnancy.

What medications can you take while you're pregnant?
You should always check with your doctor before taking any medication during pregnancy because it really depends on what's happening with you, if you have any other medical conditions, and what stage of your pregnancy you are in. In general, however, for aches and pains or a fever, the only "safe" medicine for pregnant women is acetaminophen or Tylenol, but you should know that it is a medicine that does cross the placenta.
Because it's unethical to test medicine on pregnant women, no drug can truly be tested and verified to be 100% safe during pregnancy, which is why medical experts will always exercise caution about using medications during pregnancy. Also, every woman and fetus is different, so two different pregnant women taking the same medication during their pregnancies could have two different outcomes. You can see a more complete list of how medications are classified for use during pregnancy and talk to your doctor before taking anything.
When should you see a doctor?
Anytime you have a fever during your pregnancy, you should see a doctor. A fever could potentially be dangerous to your developing baby, as it raises your internal temperature and it could lead to serious complications, such as premature contractions and labor. Also, if the fever is the result of a bacterial infection, it could be simple to treat with antibiotics, so there is no reason to delay treatment. And of course, anytime you are having premature contractions, feel like your baby isn't moving as much, or experience back pain, bleeding, or your water breaking, you should see a doctor ASAP.
How can you get the rest you need?
This one is a tough one. All of the times I have been sick while being pregnant have also been times when my other children were also sick, so it wasn't like I could just ship them away to a friend's house or knowingly invite a young sitter to come over and get infected, too. The majority of the time, I had to just get through it and thank the Lord for Netflix. If you can get help, definitely take it and if you're not able to get any help, just know that you are truly not alone — there are a lot of us moms out there who know what you are going through. Being sick while pregnant is rough and when the sickness has passed, you definitely deserve a break, so start dreaming up your escape plan now, even if it's just for an hour.
