Drop your demo in the demo box that's set up at the registration desk during the conference, and top DJ and producer Dave Clarke will be the judge of it: 'Although the title of the panel suggests explosive commentary,' Clarke says, 'you should see this as an opportunity to get support and great insight into your unsigned music by some of the top professionals in this field.'

Sony Mobile phone news
Sony playing catch up due to Mother Nature and London riots
Rik Henderson · 27 October 2011
Sir Howard Stringer partly blames Sony's relatively weak market share in the mobile phone business on Mother Nature and the recent riots in London and the UK.
Speaking at the London press conference, called to announce the Japanese giant's acquisition of the Ericsson part of Sony Ericsson, Sir Stringer bemoaned the troubles the company has had in the last year, while explaining why it has taken so long for it to compete with rival smartphone and software organisations:
"It's taken us quite a long time and quite a lot of patience to build the kind of infrastructure that some of our competitors over in the United States, like Apple and Microsoft, have," he said.
"And we have metamorphosed into a digital company from an analogue one in much of the last 4 years.
"When I became CEO, I was tired of executives in America saying 'Sony doesn't do digital - it's an analogue company'. There are handicaps to being an analogue company as the world is changing, so we had to change with it."
And he believes that it would be competing on an even playing field if it wasn't for acts of God, the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers, and criminality:
"We would have changed more quickly if we hadn't had the Lehman shock. If we hadn't had all the various Mother Nature lethal attacks on us this year. We've had everything but toads and pestilence," he said.
"So, I think the company deserves to be commended for fighting its way through earthquakes and tsunamis. And the only factory that was burned down during the London riots was ours.
"It's hard not to take it personally after a while," he added.
Do you think Sony is playing catch up due to forces of nature, etc? Let us know in the comments below...

The first Lincolnshire medical school will open thanks to a successful joint bid by the University of Lincoln and the University of Nottingham. The University of Nottingham Lincoln Medical School, on the University of Lincoln Brayford campus, will train the next generation of health professionals in an effort to fill severe staffing shortages in the region with UK-trained doctors. Funding has been secured for an initial 80 first year undergraduate places in September 2019 with a further 80 per intake in subsequent years. When it is at full capacity in a few years' time, the new school promises to deliver medical training to around 400 undergraduate students. Students will study for a University of Nottingham BMBS medical degree and will undertake clinical placements at local hospitals, GP surgeries and other healthcare units in collaboration with United Lincolnshire Hospitals NHS Trust (ULHT) and the Lincolnshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust (LPFT).

NMC starts consultation on registration fee for nursing associates
Agency, care agency, Care Agency Leicester, Care Agency Lincoln, Care Homes, Carers, Clinical, Healthcare, healthcare assistants, leicester, Leicester Nursing Agency, Lincoln, Lincolnshire
The Nursing and Midwifery Council has launched a consultation on its proposal to charge nursing associates the same registration fee as it does for nurses and midwives. Proposals outlined in the consultation would see the cost of registration for registered nursing associates "mirror" those of their nursing and midwifery counterparts, currently £120 per year. "We are proposing the same fees for nursing associates, nurses and midwives, because the same regulatory approach will apply to the three professions, so we will need to meet the same costs," stated the NMC in a document outling the consultation. It expected nursing associates would be subject to the "full suite" of regulation, meaning broadly the same regulatory processes that are in place for nurses and midwives would apply, said the NMC. The regulator noted that this included the requirement to maintain their registration through revalidation as well as having fitness to practise processes in place should associates fall below our standards.

Worst nurse shortage ever
Agency, Care Agency Leicester, Care Agency Lincoln, Care Homes, Carers, Clinical, leicester, Leicester Nursing Agency, Lincoln, Lincoln Nursing Agency, NHS
Large numbers of NHS nurses are quitting because of staff shortages and poor pay, it is claimed. Britain's top nurse Janet Davies spoke out as it emerged the health service faced an "unprecedented" crisis with the number of unfilled posts doubling in three years to 40,000. It comes as new polling suggests major public concern for hospital safety with seven in ten people believing nurses are underpaid and similar numbers saying there are not enough of them. Ms Davies, general secretary of the Royal College of Nursing, said: "There is a perfect storm engulfing nursing and the stakes could scarcely be higher. After years of warnings, the nursing profession is officially shrinking. The best nurses feel forced to throw in the towel because of unprecedented staff shortages, relentless pressure and poor pay. The NHS is being dragged down by the worst nursing shortage in its history. Ministers cannot be caught idle. Experienced nursing staff are leaving in droves, not because they don't like the job, but because they can't afford to stay." The NHS does not publish national data on nurse vacancies, but the RCN found 40,000 vacant posts earlier this year after freedom of information requests to trusts. That figure stood at 20,000 in 2013.

For example, prior work has shown that browsers still leave many traces of user information on disk even if they are started in private browsing mode. In addition, disk encryption alone is not sufficient, as key disclosure through coercion remains possible. Clearly, it would be useful and highly desirable to have OS-level support that provides strong privacy guarantees for any application – not only browsers.

Alumna Named HISD Principal of the Year
Houston Independent School District awarded Amy Poerschke '14, 2019 Elementary School Principal of the Year. Poerschke, principal of Durham Elementary School, graduated from UST's Master of Education program.
After completing her two years of Teach for America, Poerschke learned of UST's partnership with the nonprofit organization: TFA alumni received reduced tuition at UST.
"I knew that in order to create a system-level impact like a school leader, I would need to have a Masters in Educational Leadership," Poerschke said. "As much as I love curriculum and instruction, I knew that to make change, you do need that administrative certificate. So, I chose to get my Masters."
Growing While Learning
While teaching and working in a specialist position at Garcia Elementary School, Poerschke pursued her M.Ed. The internship hours required of the M.Ed. gave her opportunities to broaden her skillset by participating in practical, real-world experiences common for administrators. For example, she sat in on a district-level school board meeting and she observed her principal manage a budget.
"I was a teacher and then a specialist, so I didn't really have any business looking through budgets, but it helped me get out of my comfort zone and learn more about the principalship," she said. "By the end of it, I was an assistant principal, but my principal was letting me mostly manage my budgets."
Additionally, Poerschke credits her strong writing skills to the program at UST. Through her courses, she analyzed up-to-date research and learned to synthesize a vast range of information into her own findings. Above all, she learned how to develop and express her own voice through research-based writing.
"I really think that, because of the small class sizes and the high-quality professors, I was able to get a lot of really individualized feedback about my writing," she said. "That set me up for success not only to be a principal, but to go into a doctoral program. I was able to write a dissertation because of the foundational skills from UST."
Applying Studies to the Real World
After graduating from UST, Poerschke went on to earn her doctorate from the University of Houston. Now she is in her fourth year at Durham. In March, the students, faculty, staff and HISD superintendent surprised her in the cafeteria of her school, where they bestowed her with the award.
"There are so many just hardworking, inspirational and very impactful principals, so it's very humbling when you hear that you're doing that great of a job and it really just speaks to the level of the staff," Poerschke said. "I think my staff is amazing. They work really hard and our kids are great, so I think it's just a celebration of Durham as a whole. Not just me, but the whole community."
Story by Katie Fleming


What Is Proofreading? A Definition In Seven Parts.
What is Proofreading? Part One: a Very Basic Definition.
Proofreading involves checking a document for errors. The proofreader highlights these errors using proofreaders' marks (also known as proofreading symbols) then passes the document to its originator for corrections. The proofreader continues to check subsequent drafts of the document until it is error-free. And that, in a nutshell, answers the question what is proofreading? But of course, that doesn't really answer the questions of what proofreading is, at all. The reality is, unsurprisingly, a lot more complicated than that. Isn't it always?
What is Proofreading? Part Two: Documents.
What documents, exactly? Well, far from just proofreading manuscripts, proofreaders can proofread just about anything that contains text (generally referred to as 'copy' by industry insiders).
Whilst I was working for one of the UK's largest online and mail order retailers, I proofread literally thousands of catalogue pages. You could find yourself proofreading legal documents, promotional brochures, websites, text books, packaging, point-of-sale displays, press releases, magazine articles, advertisements, pharmaceutical labelling, in-house corporate communications (newsletters, for example, or training material), presentations, bids for construction contracts... In fact, you could find yourself proofreading just about anything. Anything in which the written word is printed and distributed is likely to require the beady eye and enquiring mind of a proofreader.
So, when looking for proofreading opportunities, freelance or full time, don't limit yourself to publishing houses. Cast your net as wide as you can. You'll be surprised at how many organisations haven't even considered hiring a proofreader until you draw their attention to the commercial benefits.
What is Proofreading? Part Three: Errors.
What kind of errors? Generally, you'll be looking for spelling mistakes and grammatical slip-ups. However, your remit is likely to change from one employer to another. When some organisations hire a proofreader, they expect something more in the way of a copy editor. In other words, they want your input on the quality of the document not just the accuracy. You'll be looking for inconsistencies, awkward phrasing, lack of clarity. You might also be expected to 'do the math'. If your employer produces ecommerce website or a sales brochure, you'll be expected to make sure everything adds up, particularly when it comes to those all-important prices.
What is Proofreading? Part Four: Highlights.
How exactly, does a proofreader highlight errors? Directly onto the document with your trusty red pen. You'll want something fine that doesn't 'bleed' on paper. Clarity is everything.
You will circle or underscore the copy containing the error, then place a corresponding proofreaders' mark in the margin.
What is Proofreading? Part Five: Proofreaders' Marks.
Proofreaders' marks are the little symbols proofreaders use to indicate a particular kind of error. For example, when the symbol below is placed in a document's margin, it tells someone to italicise any words or letters that are underlined in the copy adjacent to the proofreading symbol.
It takes a while to become familiar with proofreaders' marks but they really are essential, as they enable you to communicate a great deal very quickly and without using up too much space. If you were to attempt to write out everything in full, you'd soon find your document reduced to an illegible mess.
What is Proofreading? Part Six: Originator.
So, who will be producing the work I'll be proofreading. By and large, it is likely to be a typesetter or graphic designer. Once you've marked-up your proof (and old-fashioned name for a pre-press document), you will either hand it back to its originator or pass it on to the next person in the production process.
What is Proofreading? Part Seven: Subsequent Drafts.
This is where the hard work begins. 'First reads' as they're often called can be relatively painless, as you're reading from a clean document. Once your corrections have been carried out, you'll have to check a new proof to make sure they've been carried out correctly and in their entirety. This is the main point at which errors creep into a document. Often your corrections will have been overlooked or new mistakes may have been created whilst carrying out your instruction (for example, an ugly line break may occur or text may 'drop off' the bottom of a page). This is where you will have to have your wits about you, as you comb through your original marked-up proof, ticking off each correction only when you have confirmed that it has been carried out to your satisfaction.
I hope that answers your question, what is proofreading?
The No-Nonsense Proofreading Course is a downloadable eBook containing a wealth of information to help you learn to proofread and take the first steps to becoming a professional proofreader.
It gives a full set of proofreading symbols, complete with instructions on how to use them; it offers a robust and thorough proofreading methodology; and it holds your hand as it walks you through the veritable minefield that is the 'subsequent drafts' stage of the proofreading process.
Best of luck with all your proofreading endeavours.

Don't Be a Jerk
And Other Practical Advice from Dogen, Japan's Greatest Zen Master
The Shobogenzo (The Treasury of the True Dharma Eye) is a revered 800-year-old Zen Buddhism classic written by the Japanese monk Eihei Dogen. Despite the timeless wisdom of his teachings, many consider the book difficult to understand. In Don't Be a Jerk, Zen priest and best-selling author Brad Warner, through accessible paraphrasing and incisive commentary, applies Dogen's teachings to modern times.

It Came from Beyond Zen!: More Practical Advice from Dogen, Japan's Greatest Zen Master (Treasury of the True Dharma Eye)
In Japan in 1253, one of the great thinkers of his time died - and the world barely noticed. That man was the Zen monk Eihei Dogen. For centuries his main work, Shobogenzo, languished in obscurity, locked away in remote monasteries until scholars rediscovered it in the 20th century. What took so long? In Brad Warner's view, Dogen was too ahead of his time to find an appreciative audience. To bring Dogen's work to a bigger audience, Warner began paraphrasing Shobogenzo, recasting it in simple, everyday language. The first part of this project resulted in Don't Be a Jerk, and now Warner presents this second volume, It Came from Beyond Zen! Once again, Warner uses wry humor and incisive commentary to bridge the gap between past and present, making Dogen's words clearer and more relevant than ever before.

Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind
Informal Talks on Zen Meditation and Practice
By: Shunryu Suzuki
Narrated by: Peter Coyote
In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities, but in the expert's there are few. So begins this most beloved of all American Zen works. Seldom has such a small handful of words provided a teaching as rich as this famous opening line of Shunryu Suzuki's classic. In a single stroke, the simple sentence cuts through the pervasive tendency students have of getting so close to Zen as to completely miss what it's all about. An instant teaching in the first minutes. And that's just the beginning.

Hardcore Zen
Punk Rock, Monster Movies and the Truth about Reality
This is not your typical Zen book. Brad Warner, a young punk who grew up to be a Zen master, spares no one. This bold new approach to the "Why?" of Zen Buddhism is as strongly grounded in the tradition of Zen as it is utterly revolutionary. Warner's voice is hilarious, and he calls on the wisdom of everyone from punk and pop culture icons to the Buddha himself to make sure his points come through loud and clear.

Sex, Sin, and Zen
A Buddhist Exploration of Sex from Celibacy to Polyamory and Everything in Between
With his one-of-a kind blend of autobiography, pop culture, and plainspoken Buddhism, Brad Warner explores an A-to-Z of sexual topics; from masturbation to dating, gender identity to pornography. In addition to approaching sexuality from a Buddhist perspective, he looks at Buddhism - emptiness, compassion, karma - from a sexual vantage. Throughout, he stares down the tough questions: Can prostitution be "right livelihood"? Can a good spiritual master also be really, really bad?
There Is No God and He Is Always with You
A Search for God in Odd Places
Brad Warner was initially interested in Buddhism because he wanted to find God, but Buddhism is usually thought of as godless. In the three decades since Warner began studying Zen, he has grappled with paradoxical questions about God and managed to come up with some answers. In this fascinating search for a way beyond the usual arguments between fundamentalists and skeptics, Warner offers a profoundly engaging and idiosyncratic take on the ineffable power of the "ground of all being."

The Diamond Sutra, The Heart Sutra, The Sutra of Hui Neng
Three Key Prajnā Pārāmitā Texts from the Zen Tradition
Narrated by: Ratnadhya
These three sutras are the most important texts for the Chan (Chinese) and Zen (Japanese) Buddhist traditions, though they are very different in character and provenance. The Diamond Sutra (Vajracheddikā Prajña Pārāmitā Sutra in Sanskrit) has the distinction of being 'the earliest complete survival of a dated (11 May 868) printed book'. It was found in the Dunhuang Caves in China in 1900. The title, Diamond Cutter, outlines its purpose, which is to cut through ignorance to attain to perfect wisdom or ultimate reality.

Die Wise
A Manifesto for Sanity and Soul
By: Stephen Jenkinson
Narrated by: Stephen Jenkinson
Die Wise does not offer seven steps for coping with death. It does not suggest ways to make dying easier. It pours no honey to make the medicine go down. Instead, with lyrical prose, deep wisdom, and stories from his two decades of working with dying people and their families, Stephen Jenkinson places death at the center of the discussion and asks us to behold it in all its painful beauty. Die Wise teaches the skills of dying, skills that have to be learned in the course of living deeply and well.

Absolutely wonderful
By Tout en chantant on 30-09-19
The night Brad Warner learns that his childhood friend Marky has died, Warner is about to speak to a group of Zen students in Hamburg, Germany. It's the last thing he feels like doing. What he wants to do instead is tell his friend everything he never said, to explain Zen and what he does for a living and why he spends his time "Sitting. Sitting. Sitting. Meditating my life away as it all passes by. Lighting candles and incense. Bowing to nothing." So, as he continues his teaching tour through Europe, he writes to his friend all the things he wishes he had said. Simply and humorously, he reflects on why Zen provided him a lifeline in a difficult world. He explores grief, attachment, and the afterlife. He writes to Marky, "I'm not all that interested in Buddhism. I'm much more interested in what is true," and then proceeds to poke and prod at that truth. The result for listeners is a singular and winning meditation on Zen - and a unique tribute to both a life lost and the one Warner has found.

What listeners say about Letters to a Dead Friend About Zen
Zukaang
A new favorite primer
Brilliant, thoughtful, humorous, and intimate introduction to Zen, Buddhism, koans, Dogen Zenji, and European travel on a budget.
PapaOscar
Back to basics in the best way
I actually knew enough about Dogen to understand most of what Brad Warner was writing about in some of his previous books. Then comes this one, and I realize how much of Zen I have glossed over in my study. It's a wonderfully accessible primer on Buddhism, Zen in particular, and I heartily recommend it to students of every stripe.
An Introduction and and Extension to Earlier Works
Letters to a Dead Friend about Zen succeeds on two levels. On one level it serves as a great introduction to Zen Buddhism for someone who is new to the subject. On another level, for long time readers of Brad's books it works as a synthesis and expansion of concepts that he has deals with elsewhere. This is his best book to date. It is the work of someone who is a mature author with deep wisdom. As an audio, it has the same rough at the edges personal feel that make his books unique in a medium that is increasingly dominated by fully mounted multi-actor plays. Reading the chapters in front of live audiences adds to this effect. It is the natural extension of what he does given his background as a performer.
Andrew Lenards
Warner makes great audiobooks
I enjoy the performances that Brad Warner does for the audiobook versions of his books so much that I end up with both the book and audio format. The in-person reading of the letters is an added intimacy that makes the topics even more resonant for me. Thank you for making this Brad
Helpful, Funny and Touching
I've read almost all of Warner's books at this point, so I wasn't sure how much I'd get out of one covering the basics of zen. But I have too many dead friends who I wish I could write to, so I had to check this out. It's a lovely combination of touching and funny, without the humor coming off as an attempt to suppress one's feelings of loss. Instead it's uplifting as the reader imagines being able to carry on with ordinary conversations with our lost friends. Going over the basics of zen is good for a beginner, with the understanding that you're a beginner for pretty much all your life. But I actually think I learned more about these fundamentals by hearing him go over them again. Overall, it reads and a travelogue, a correspondence and a reflection on zen. It's always fun to hear about his little adventures on tour or reflections on early punk life. His other books helped with my practice and my understanding, but I really feel like this helped me think about and handle the death of people in my life. It seems fitting, and instructive, that this book would apparently interrupt his series of commentaries on Shobogenzo. (I was eagerly awaiting a third!) I like the idea of just being a scholar of Dogen, but life keeps happening and friends keep dying. And it's important to see such studies as a part of life and not an alternative to it. As to the audiobook format, Warner is a delightful narrator and his audiobooks always have some small gem that isn't included in his written books. This is no exception. I was skeptical of the format of live readings, but it really works.
chad harvey
This is a fantastic introduction to Zen Buddhism. I highly recommend it for beginners and long term practitioners alike.

Q: What is the probability of A winning a trivia game? We have the following problem: Players A and B take turns in answering trivia questions, starting with player A answering the first question. Each time A answers a question, she has probability $p_1$ of
getting it right. Each time B plays, he has probability $p_2$ of getting it right.
(a) Suppose that the first player to answer correctly wins the game (with no predetermined
maximum number of questions that can be asked). Find the probability that A
wins the game.
My solution: Let A be the event that player A wins. Let n be the number of questions A answers and m the number of questions B answers. Hence we want to calculate P(A). We have a sequence of answers and questions from players A and B. In order for A to win, he or she has to get one question right with probability $p_1$ (with potentially a prior sequence of wrong questions). So the solutions should be $P(A)=(1-p_1)^{n-1}(1-p_2)^{m}p_2^0p_1^1$.
The issue: However, my solutions does not match with the proposed solution in Blitzstein Intro to Probability, and the solution given does not look right to me. Blitzstein solution proposes the following solution (see also Slader):
Condition on the results of the first question for each player we have,
$$
\begin{align}
P(A) &=1 \cdot P(A right) +0 \cdot P(A wrong, B right)+P(A)P(A wrong,Bwrong) \\
&=p_1+(1-p_1)(1-p_2)P(A)
\end{align}
$$
Solving for $P(A)$, we get: $P(A)= \frac{p_1}{p_1+p_2-p_1p_2}$
issue (1): My solution and the book solutions is far off. The book solution seems not be solving for the case of many (n) questions. Can you see what I am missing in my understanding?
issue (2): When the book solution condition on the first question, are we not using the Law of Total probability? In that case, we should be getting the following expression (and not theirs):
$P(Aright)= \text{as, above, this is the probability of the first question being right}$
$$
\begin{align}
P(A) &= P(A|Aright, Bwrong) \cdot P(Aright, Bwrong)  \\
&+ P(A|Awrong, Bwrong) \cdot P(Awrong, Bwrong) \\
&+ P(A|Awrong, Bright) \cdot P(Awrong, Bright) \\
&+ P(A|Aright, Bright) \cdot P(Aright, Bright) \\
&=1 \cdot p_1 + 0 \cdot(1-p_1)(1-p_2) + 0 \cdot (1-p_1)p_2 + 1p_1p_2\\
&=p_1 +p_1p_2
\end{align}
$$
This is a different expression altogether. What I am missing here?

A: 1. Your approach can give the right answer, but it will be a much more complicated solution. I'll start by trying to add detail to your solution.
First note that $m = n-1$. They take it turns and $A$ goes first, so to begin you have a pair of incorrect answers (A answers incorrectly, B answers incorrectly). This repeats until you finish the game with just $A$ answering correctly. If that's the $n^{th}$ question that $A$ was asked, then $B$ answered a total of $n-1$ questions (all incorrectly). So you have to have $m = n-1$
What you are trying to work out a formula for
$$
\mathbb{P}\bigl(\text{player A wins}\ \big|\ \text{player A answered $n$ questions}\bigr).
$$
To get
$$
\mathbb{P}\bigl(\text{player A wins}\bigr),
$$
you need to use a law of total probability in the form:
$$
\mathbb{P}\bigl(\text{player A wins}\bigr) = \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \mathbb{P}\bigl(\text{player A wins and answers $n$ questions}\bigr)
$$
If you worked all this out correctly you would have a big series. If you then summed that series (it will be a geometric progression), you would get the expression that your textbook has.
2. There's sort of a rule of thumb with these things that if one way of thinking leads to a series answer that can be summed, there's probably a quick way of arriving at the answer that involves conditioning on the first question or the penultimate question or something like that. The observation your textbook uses is that if the first pair of answers are both incorrect then the game 'resets'. This means that
$$
\mathbb{P}\bigl(A\ | \text{A wrong on first question, B wrong on first question}\bigr) = \mathbb{P}\bigl( A \bigr)
$$
So
$$
\mathbb{P}\bigl(A\ | \text{A wrong, B wrong}\bigr)\mathbb{P}\bigl( \text{A wrong, B wrong}\bigr) = \mathbb{P}(A) \times (1-p_1)\times (1-p_2).
$$
Your attempt makes a few simple mistakes (such as putting 0 for this expression). Also, in the first term you should have:
$$
\mathbb{P}\bigl(A\ | \text{A right, B wrong}\bigr)\mathbb{P}\bigl( \text{A right, B wrong}\bigr) = 1 \times p_1 \times (1-p_2)
$$
(i.e. there should be a $(1-p_2)$).

A: Ok. The winning sequence good for A is the following
1) A wins at first strike: $p_1$
2) a wins at second strike (both must lose at first strike): $(1-p_1)(1-p_2)p_1$
3) A wins at third strike: $(1-p_1)^2(1-p_2)^2p_1$
Summarizing.....it's a geometric series
$$\mathbb{P}[A_{win}]=p_1\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}((1-p_1)(1-p_2))^n=$$
$=p_1 \frac{1}{(1-(1-p_1)(1-p_2))}=\frac{p_1}{1+p_1+p_2-p_1p_2}$

What is Occupational Health
Occupational health is a field of healthcare involving multiple fields dedicated to the well-being and safety of employees in the workplace, with a strong focus on injury prevention and education. Some occupational health services include employee wellness, Pre-placement services, ergonomics, occupational therapy, and occupational medicine.
Occupational health refers to the identification and control of the risks arising from physical, chemical, and other workplace hazards in order to establish and maintain a safe and healthy working environment. These hazards may include chemical agents and solvents, heavy metals such as lead and mercury, physical agents such as loud noise or vibration, and physical hazards such as electricity or dangerous machinery.
Since 1986, the NIEHS has supported training and education programs designed to protect workers and their communities from exposure to toxic materials encountered during hazardous waste operations and chemical emergency response. This includes safety and health training for workers who are involved in hazardous waste removal and comprehensive training and environmental restoration for residents living near heavily polluted industrial waste sites.

FIFA/Coca-Cola World Ranking
Ranking Procedures
Qatar soar in first Ranking of 2019
Newly crowned Asian champions Qatar have climbed to 55th in the latest FIFA/Coca-Cola World Ranking, gaining 38 places – and reaching their best position since 1993 - on the back of their stunning success in UAE.
The AFC Asian Cup has been responsible almost all of the notable changes in this, the first Ranking of 2019, with the scarcity of games in other confederations leaving the top 20 unchanged – and Belgium still in pole position.
Further down the table, Qatar aren't the only team to have ascended in spectacular style. Fellow finalists Japan (27th, up 23) have also soared up the order, while Korea Republic (38th, up 15), United Arab Emirates (67th, up 12) and Jordan (97th, up 12) all registered double-digit gains. There were also significant upwards moves by the likes of Iraq (80th, up 8), IR Iran (22nd, up 7) and Uzbekistan (89th, up 6).
Another consequence of these changes is that Asia has boosted its numbers in the Ranking's top 50. The AFC is now represented by four teams, up one on the last edition, and now stands level with Africa, whose numbers have been depleted by Congo DR (51st, down 2) dropping out.
The next FIFA/Coca-Cola World Ranking will be published on 4 April 2019.

Work is an essential part of a person's life, allowing them to earn an income and provide for their family. When someone is injured at work, they have the right to receive workers' compensation to pay for their medical bills and provide for their needs when they are unable to earn an income during their recovery. If an employee's inability to work is expected to only last for a short time, they may be eligible for either temporary partial disability (TPD) or temporary total disability (TTD), and it is important to understand what is provided in these forms of compensation.
How Do You Know You Can Trust Your Doctor?
When you receive medical treatment, you put a great deal of trust in your doctor. Unfortunately, there are far too many cases where individuals have been seriously injured or killed because of a misdiagnosis or other medical error by their doctors. To decrease the likelihood of medical malpractice, it is best to choose a doctor who will give you their undivided attention and listen to your questions and concerns.
Sexual assault is an experience that no one wants to go through, and victims of assault will experience a great deal of emotional and physical pain. Sexual assault and harassment are a major concern in the workplace, and if an individual has experienced this type of unacceptable behavior, they should understand that they are not alone and take steps to address the situation.

Written By 'Xandria'
Dave Lister watched with casual interest as the only surviving descendent of his pet cat wheeled an antique steamer trunk into his living quarters aboard the Red Dwarf. The midnight blue case with brass trim perched precariously on the trolley cart, threatening to dislodge itself any moment.
"Hey, monkey, you have got to see what's in this box," Cat, enthusiastic as always, was attired in a finely tailored peach coloured suit, offset with black patent and matching handkerchief. "What'd you find now, Cat?" Lister tossed aside a magazine he had been perusing (for about the eighth time in the last two years) and slid from the top bunk onto the floor. He absently brushed the crumbs of his latest powder puff from his khaki jacket.
"It's all mine. I found it and you can't have it," Cat began defensively, staking claim to his newest possession. With that stated, he threw open the lid and grinned from ear to ear as only a Cheshire could. Lister cocked his head to the side and read the address sticker plastered to the trunk, "Dr. Kassandra Winters." Lister reflected momentarily, a grin forming across his powder puff stained visage, "She was this research geologist. And if I recall, she had gorgeous long red hair, but she hardly ever wore it down. Almost always wore it up, making her look like my grade school librarian."
"Yeah? Well, she had fine taste in clothes and accessories. Look at all this" Lister peered into the case at Cat's behest as he rifled through Dr. Winters' possessions, already planning the modifications he would make to fit his willowy frame. He was quite pleased that Dr. Winters had been tiny in stature, therefore minimising the required alterations.
Lister was immediately taken by the patent leather, velvet and latex fashions in all styles and colours. He'd only seen such clothing on models and was astounded that a former crew member of this mining ship would have had such indulgences. "Would you look at her gear."
"That's what I've been sayin'!" Cat emphasised with an inflection of his waving arms. Before he could elaborate further, the trunk shifted its weight and tumbled downwards, spilling its entire contents onto the floor.
"Smeg!" Lister cursed under his breath. Cat slightly annoyed, "You better not have torn anything, buddy." Lister joined Cat on the floor, righting the trunk and depositing articles into the former geologist's storage wardrobe. "Hang on a minute, what's this?" Lister lifted a black leather-bound pocket book. Cat peered over with intense interest at this new discovery. Upon observing it was a book, his interest waned and he returned to his find. Lister flipped through the pages from the beginning and announced with some excitement, "It's a diary. It's her diary." Lister repositioned himself for maximum comfort onto the floor. "What's it say?" Cat asked disinterestedly, inspecting each piece of clothing for possible damage. "What does what say?" inquired Rimmer as he strode into the quarters he shared with Lister.
"It's a diary," Lister announced with a sense of pride, pleased they had a new source of amusement. "Whose diary is it, Listy? I thought you raided Kochanski's quarters ages ago." Rimmer laid himself upon his tidy bunk bed, stretching his arms above his shoulders, knitting his fingers beneath his head. Rimmer proceeded to gaze blankly above him, eager to listen to passages from a diary in the hopes it would provide a distraction from those aspects of his life he wished to forget (death, lack of career advancement, lack of a sex life...)
"Dr. Kassandra Winters," Lister replied with a salacious tone to his voice. While he had admired her from a distance from a visual perspective, he had to admit he knew nothing about her. Lister recalled rumours that she fancied several crew members whom she invited to her quarters quite frequently for nocturnal indulgences. Lister dismissed the rumours as simply that - vivid imaginings from his ship mates who perhaps were attempting to live out some deep seated fantasy involving their librarian from school. "Wasn't she that stunning red headed geologist? Kind of eccentric. Quiet, kept to herself. Sort of reminds you of what your grade school librarian would be like if she had any sort of sexuality?" Rimmer recounted with a smile and then added seriously, "You know, she never spoke an unkind word to me." "She probably never spoke a word to you at all," Lister teased.
"She did," Rimmer grew defensive and shot upright and out of his bunk to assert a semblance of dominance in the conversation by way of attaining a physically superior position to that of his antagonist. "She spoke to me once in the gymnasium, twice in the observation dome and several times in the library." Lister glanced upwards at Rimmer and remarked incredulously, "What. Was she drunk then?" Lister ignored Rimmer's flaring nostrils of disapproval and flipped the pages to the first entry. He began to read to himself in silence, if nothing else to annoy Rimmer. He read sentence after sentence of uninteresting technical purges of her soul.
"What does she say?" Cat asked, momentarily interrupting his reverie of clothing appropriation. "It's really boring stuff." Lister read aloud an excerpt he felt exemplified his own analysis, "I am hopeful the impending stopover at Callisto will afford me the time to investigate further the continuing anomalies in the 5th Station Mine I've been cataloguing since my first visitation seven years ago. My theory of current and undetected alien influences may become more certain should my tests prove positive." Lister rolled his eyes in disappointment, "Yeah, Dr. Winters -- a real exciting woman." "But she had fine taste in clothes," Cat smiled widely.
"She sounds fascinating to me," Rimmer was genuinely intrigued by her mention of aliens. He recalled one of their brief conversations in the Observation Dome where she had asked him whether or not he believed in the existence of extensive and superior life forms within Earth's galaxy.
"Yeah. You could bore each other to death," Lister chided, flipping through the pages, casually glancing down, hopeful his attention would be apprehended by a more interesting phrase or word. And there it was, looming before his face. SEX. "Oh, wait, I think I found an interesting bit." Lister backtracked to the beginning of the paragraph at the top of the page.
"Yes..." Rimmer, rapt with attention now, encouraged his room mate to continue. Lister cleared his throat. "I wish I knew what went on in that mind of his. He appears to be a loner, much like myself. But I never seem to be able to approach him on anything more than surface discussions. He's dashing in his own way, but painfully shy. I have contemplated sending him a letter, but that is so childish. I am an adult woman with a healthy disposition towards sex. I have no problems with the other crew members and our liaisons.
"Why is it different with him? I'm afraid I already know the answer to that question. To think I might actually be more than physically attracted to someone astounds me. I've never had time for relationships and never wanted to. And I hardly know the man. I haven't had more than a handful of conversations with him, yet I feel something deeper than lust. Certainly, I find him incredibly sexy. I even find his unmanageable hair attractive. His eyes I could melt into like molten lava -- oh to lose myself in his gaze. His shoulders and upper arms are screaming to be passionately bitten into during a moment of heated foreplay. I'd love to dig my nails into his backside at the height of our coupling. But I feel more than physical desire towards him. I've witnessed witty sarcasm slip from his tongue that is sharp and comedic. His pomp and arrogance, although misplaced, is well meaning and even charming. He even appears to share similar interests as myself.
"And as soon as I attempt to converse with him, I cannot say more than a few casual words. It's incredibly frustrating to be capable of such wild relationships with those I don't truly care for and also be unable to even extend a simple dinner invitation to the one whom I do care for. Madness. I remain hopeful that he, in some way, feels the same for me and will eventually break the ice, because I fear I cannot. It's the tired old rejection syndrome I have oft heard others speak of. Something that has never plagued me until now." "That's tragic, it really is. Is there more?" Rimmer probed genuinely caught up in the classic tale he knew all too well himself.
"Yeah, hang on. I want to find out who this poor smeg is," Lister flipped back a page and read the paragraph previous to the one he began with. "Oh, God," Lister groaned, nearly in shock. "Who was it? Who was this pathetic prat, unaware of this sex starved woman's attractions?" Lister glanced up at Rimmer, dumbfounded, "It was you, Rimmer."
"What?!" Rimmer lunged behind Lister to read the applicable passage from the diary, "I saw Rimmer in the library this afternoon, which completely distracted me from my research. A simple glimpse will send my mind reeling and heart pounding wildly in my chest. My eyes followed him around the main library floor from my perch on the top floor. He seemed to be searching for something in the history area." A pain filled grimace washed over Rimmer's face.
"That was you, man," Lister repeated with a chuckle. "I can't believe what a naive git I'd been," Rimmer slumped into a chair, his shoulders sagging with disappointment.
"Sounds like you missed a chance of a life time," Cat grinned once more like a Cheshire and contentedly closed the trunk.
Lister felt a rare moment of pity for Rimmer who sat, virtually lifeless, in his chair. "There's no point in beatin' yourself up about this, man. It happens to all of us. We find out that the girl we've been thinkin' is way out of our league actually feels the same way for us. And it's almost always way too late for us to do somethin' about it."
Rimmer dragged his listless body from the chair to his bunk and fell onto the mattress. "This should not have happened. I wish that diary did not exist. I feel terrible." All the 'what ifs' began to play out in Rimmer's mind. All the 'what should have been' or 'could have been' scenarios flitted about unrelentingly, deepening his depressive state dramatically.
Lister shifted himself on the floor so that he faced Rimmer, "At least you know some girl really liked you. You may be a total smeg head to the rest of the Universe, but to Dr. Kassandra Winters you were the object of her undying devotion. So you're in pain, yeah. You'll get over it. We all do."
"We could have been perfect. Nights of endless passion, discussions of aliens and who knows what else," Rimmer lamented.
Cat approached Rimmer and leaned into his bunk pointing out the obvious, "And she would still be dead and you would still be a hologram." Rimmer replied softly with a nostalgic sadness, "At least I would have been loved." "But you were, man, you were." Lister rose to his feet and tossed the diary into the corner of Rimmer's bunk prior to slipping out of the room with Cat and indulge in some unicycle polo.
Lister imagined that Rimmer, in an even more diminished state of self pity, will punish himself further by having the Skutters assist him in reading the entire book, cover to cover, enshrouding himself in that anguish he's come to know so intimately. Lister further speculated that once Rimmer had tormented himself to the full extent of his inadequacies, he would return to his usual state of smegginess and self-importance. Lister enjoyed that Rimmer, for it was in that state he could delight in driving Rimmer nuts - which is one of the few things that kept him sane, three million years from home.

Why is electricity so cheap in Washington?
How much of Washington power is hydroelectric?
Who provides electricity in Washington state?
How many nuclear power plants are there in Washington State?
Roughly two-thirds of the state's electricity comes from hydropower, but a quarter still comes from fossil fuels, namely coal and natural gas. Data is for 2017 from the Washington State Department of Commerce. The transition will be easier for some electric utilities than for others.
Owned facilities
The Skagit River Hydroelectric Project, a series of three hydroelectric dams (Gorge, Diablo, and Ross) on the Skagit River in northern Washington State. The project supplies approximately 25 percent of Seattle's electric power.
Washington routinely delivers one-quarter of U.S. hydroelectric generation, and hosts the nation's largest capacity power station at Grand Coulee Dam.
Washington is one of the most decarbonized states in the union with utilities getting more than two-thirds of their electricity from hydro 8% about 5% from nuclear, 4% from wind, 11% gas and 10% coal, with the latter from a single in-state coal plant as well as imports from neighboring states.
A small portion of King County's electricity is sourced from customer- owned distributed generation as well. Overall, hydroelectricity is the dominant resource in King County, addressing over 50% of the county's electricity needs in 2016. Wind energy accounts for most of remaining renewable resource serving the county.
IT\'S FUNNING: When did cities get electric lights?
The March Point portion of the system, which includes a natural-gas fired generating plant at Fredonia, supplies Whidbey Island with up to 140 megawatts of power at peak energy use times. Forester said that is enough power to supply 100,000 homes.
Washington is a major electricity exporter, supplying electricity to several other states, including California. Natural gas, coal, and nuclear combined generate almost 25 percent of the state's electricity.
How are Washington's electricity rates so low? Washington has a large infrastructure dedicated to producing wind, solar and hydro-electric energy and also relies heavily on affordable natural gas from their neighbors, British Columbia and Alberta, Canada.
Washington generated the most electricity from hydropower of any state and accounted for 24% of the nation's annual utility-scale hydroelectricity generation in 2019.
PUD's in Washington State are:
Community-owned and governed utilities that provide electricity, water, wholesale telecommunications and sewer service. Governed by state law RCW 54. Total number of electricity customers served by PUDs: 831,660 (730,127 residential).
There is one nuclear power plant in Washington – Columbia Generating Station in Richland.


Keuleza Vega, Anjru J de Leon, and students in Delta's Foster Youth Program enjoy each other's company in Budd 205.
"These people in Stockton, they need as much help as they can get because it's getting really bad out here. Say, if you have any food laying around … That doesn't mean like expired food, if it's expired food throw it away. If you have leftovers or anything for the holidays… put it in a tupperware or put it in a baggie and actually give it to the homeless. 'Cause these people don't eat for days. You guys have a home, you have everything. They don't have nothing. All you can pretty much do is help," said Jeremy Rodrigus, a member of the Delta College Foster Youth Program.
On Nov. 28 Delta's Foster Youth Center welcomed students and faculty to assist them in building and distributing lunches for the homeless population around the school.
November was Homelessness Awareness Month, and in honor of this the program wanted to involve the campus in an event.
The initial "Lunch Building" project needed to be rescheduled due to the school's closure in response to the poor air quality from the Camp Fire.
"It wasn't hard to reschedule after the school shut down. It was difficult getting students on campus once the school was shut down. Students who would've volunteered their time now have something else planned because their schedules got pushed back," said Patty LaMar, Student Program Assistant for the Foster and Kinship Care Education Program.
The Foster Youth Program can be found in Budd 205.
Roughly 65 lunches were built from 10 a.m. until noon.
Ed Aguilar, Manager of Student Equity helped out a lot according to Hailey Lopez, a mentor in the Foster Youth Building.
It rained on Nov. 28 but the two groups scheduled to deliver lunches to the homeless weren't discouraged.
Kueleza Vega, a writing tutor for the Foster Youth Department said the group of students and faculty working within the department are close-knit and willing to help with anything they can.
The Foster Youth Department regularly offers food, hygiene products and connections to housing and necessities for students at risk for homelessness.
"Who we serve are students of Delta College that are struggling with homelessness or foster care or formerly incarcerated. Our target is on serving in this way is connecting students with housing everyday so [this event's purpose is to] raise awareness that we're here- we're able to provide service. We're here, to politely connect the homeless population with help," said Renault.
Currently eight students at Delta are known to be homeless and many more are in poor living situations.
The Foster Youth Program is designed to be all inclusive of students in need.


I never cease to be amazed by spiders. Spders are Mary's least favorite insects and are unceremoniously dismissed from the house whenever spotted. But, I like watching the little eight-legged wonders at work in the garden and grounds area in our yard. But, since our living area spills over to the patio and decks, I am obliged to move the spiders that weave webs too close to our tables and chairs on the patio. For several days I noticed the beginning of a web right next to our outside table on the patio and I worked to clear it out before Mary saw it.
The area in question is between a tall red-leafed plant and a piece of bamboo that supports our hummingbird feeder. It stretches across an open area of about three feet long and two and a half feet wide. That is an area of about seven and a half square feet. Some mornings some little spider would have his grand plan half-way completed and I wondered how hard the poor little guy had worked to span the gap and lay the initial line. It would require a bit of foresight and industry to attach one end of line to the plant and then crawl over plants and other obstacles to get the initial line in place and then hours of additional work to complete the structure. I almost felt guilty each day as I removed the web and suggested that Mr. Spider should build elsewhere.
