100M Metric Tons of Iron Ore Discovered in Cape Mount
The Town of Sinje in Grand Cape Mount County, Gawula District, was a scene of jubilation recently when an Australian mining giant, Tawana Resources Incorporated, announced the discovery of a huge deposit of iron ore in the region.The company, which is operating under the Mofe Creek Mining Exploration license, was granted a permit by the Ministry of Lands Mines and Energy (MLM&E) on December 13, 2012, to carry out exploration to determine the existence, quantity and quality of ore in a designated area.The company's general manager, Fredrick Van Haute, told this newspaper that a total of 100 million metric tons of direct shipping ore was discovered during the period of exploration. Following the discovery, Mr. Haute said he would enter a mineral development agreement with the Government of Liberia after the period of exploration.He indicated that if all goes as planned, the mining process will commence in 2016 with the construction of a pilot plant capable of producing 1000 metric tons of ore. Mr. Haute pointed out that during this period the company will hire and train Liberians for large scale mining by the year 2017 at which time production will increase to 2.5 metric tons of ore per shipment.He assured Sinje residents of his company's readiness to improve their lives.He indicated that the company will work along with existing health institutions in the country to deliver health services to employees and residents of the mining area.The Daily Observer made several attempts to contact Mr. Patrick Sendolo, Minister of Lands, Mines and Energy to obtain confirmation of the discovery but was unsuccessful and a text message to him went unanswered.Meanwhile, geologist and former Lands, Minds and Energy Minister, and former Grand Kru County Senator Cletus Segbe Wotorson, in a telephone conversation late last night confirmed that Sinje and the surrounding areas in Cape Mount are endowed with large deposits of iron ore. "I'm aware of the presence of Tawana Resources Incorporated in the country," Senator Wotorson said, "and so the information about the discovery of large deposits of iron ore in Sinje is possible."Share this:Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) read more

Where Did Earth's Water Come From?
FROM WHENCE WATER?By Henry L. Richter, PhD, PE (Ret)From time to time, articles appear conjecturing as to where the water on our earth came from. A case in point is a paper by Hanneke Weitering in Space.com entitled: "Water Found in Tiny dust Particles from Asteroid Itokawa." He states: "Scientists have found traces of water in dust grains from the peanut-shaped asteroid Itokawa, and the discovery could shed light on how Earth got its water." Another recent article on Space.com, this one by Elizabeth Howell, speculates that comets brought the water. These articles are typical, speculating that Earth's water came from outside, from small (or large?) bodies impacting the earth.Earthrise from Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, December 2015. Our "blue planet" stands out like a jewel in space.A Thin VeneerThe Earth does have quite a bit of water, which we know is essential to life. But really only a very small percentage of the Earth is water. As a liquid, it covers a little over half of the surface of the Earth to an average depth of just under four kilometers, out of a total radius of the Earth of 6,370 km. This computes to about .06% of the Earth's volume being water. One can add all the water in minerals bound in the surface and mantle rocks, perhaps adding another small fraction of a percent. Although only a small percentage of our Earth is water, it is nevertheless a substantial amount.Naturalism's Infinite RegressWater is felt to be fairly common in the universe. Another article in Space.com, titled,"Mysterious 'Sub-Neptunes' are Probably Water Worlds" says:Water worlds that each possesses thousands of times more water than Earth does may be more common than Earth-like rocky planets in the Milky Way Galaxy, a new study finds. Over the past 20 or so years, astronomers have confirmed the existence of thousands of exoplanets, or planets around other stars. Many exoplanets are quite unlike any planets in our solar system. For example, so-called super-Earths have diameters up to twice that of Earth, and 'sub-Neptune' worlds are two to four times wider than Earth. (Neptune's diameter is about four times Earth's.)Now, why do scientists need explanations of where the water came from? The answer is that they feel compelled to reach for naturalistic causes for everything. The idea that everything was created essentially "as is," is a concept they cannot (or will not) imagine or consider. If a multitude of asteroid-type bodies delivered our water by special delivery, another question arises: where did the asteroids get their (small amount) of water at the beginning?Common Sense Answers to Worthwhile QuestionsI do not want to criticize the asking of questions like "where did the water come from?" But in considering possible answers, common sense needs to be applied. In this case, the small amount of water bound into crystals on a space rock is hardly a plausible source of our oceans. It is highly unlikely that liquid water came to us on space rocks, since such rocks spend time in the high vacuum of space. Any liquid water would evaporate or sublime.Dr Richter managed the instruments for Explorer 1, America's first satelliteSimilarly, common-sense questions need to be supplied for other vital ingredients:Where did our carbon come from?Where did the iron-nickel core of the earth come from?Where did the oxygen and nitrogen of our atmosphere come from?…and so on for other finely-balanced aspects of EarthBalanced Ingredients and CyclesThe amount of each ingredient is also important. Why is the oxygen content only 20%? Could we live if the atmosphere were oxygen alone, at a pressure of one fifth of an atmosphere? – that is the same partial pressure of oxygen we have now. I suspect that nitrogen, relatively inert in its triple-bonded form, is there to give us more gas volume to flush out our lungs, because oxygen alone would not work for us. We need nitrogen, of course, as an essential element for the proteins in our bodies. The levels of each of the essential ingredients for life is maintained through amazingly balanced cycles: the water cycle, the carbon cycle, the nitrogen cycle, and the oxygen cycle.We all know that our Earth is a very unique place. Not only do we have water (of the proper kind), but we have all sorts of other elements and compounds that make life possible. Are we just very lucky, or have we been given a specially created habitat in space for our dwelling? There are so very many features of our Earth that have to be just as they are, that the possibility of an accidental collection and combination of all these factors is vanishingly small. Special creation is the only reasonable explanation.Dr. Henry Richter was born in Long Beach, California, and served a short tour of duty in the U.S. Navy in World War II. From there he received a BS and PhD (Chemistry, Physics, and Electrical Engineering) from the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena California. Then he went to the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, which became part of NASA. While there he headed up the development of the free worlds first earth satellite, Explorer I.

Pão de Açúcar — Geocache of the Week
Difficulty:1Terrain:3 EarthCacheGC4KZEYby EarthCacheSeeker Location:Rio de Janeiro, BrazilS 22° 57.060′ W 043° 09.820′ If something is gneiss, don't take it for granite.560 million years ago, Pão de Açúcar (Sugarloaf in English) busted through Earth's crust, protruding out of the Atlantic ocean to a monolithic height of 1,299 feet (396 meters) above sea level. Its location and prominence provided a natural landmark that lent way to the creation of Rio de Janeiro in 1565, serving as a tactical defense point in Guanabara Bay.Don't look down!Sugarloaf was named in the 16th century when Brazil was in its heydey as the epicenter for sugarcane trade. Blocks of sugar were placed in conical molds made of clay that were then transported on ships to their destinations abroad. The shape is similar to the famous peak, hence the name.Morro da Urca where you take the second cable car to Pão de AçúcarIt wasn't until 1912 that this granite-derived mountain, became a tourist landmark and iconic feature of Rio de Janeiro's skyline. In that year, the original cable car was built to the summit of Pão de Açúcar. Since then, the cable car has been rebuilt in 1972 and then again in 2008. Although the most accessible way to reach the top, the cable car is not the only mode of transportation to this awe inspiring EarthCache.The GZ is within reachBefriend some local Cariocas who may point you in the right direction to either hike/scramble to the top or rope up and climb one of the largest urban climbing areas in the world. This way, you can get hands on contact with the salt and pepper look of the metamorphic rock gneiss — created by a segregation of light and dark minerals.Climbing is also an option for the more adventurous geocachers!To answer the EarthCache questions, you will visit five different waypoints that will take you back almost 600 million years in geologic time, long before the almost 1,300 passengers per hour (!) that now visit the park. Not only will you learn about the formation of this impressive rock structure, but you may also pick up some Carioca slang.Maneiro (Cool)!Testimonials:Olá!Pão de Açúcar is an iconic Brazilian natural monument is perhaps the most perfect place to observe the magnificence of nature, perfect for a more than Earthcache!

Bengal Governor, State at loggerheads
The newly appointed Governor of West Bengal Jagdeep Dhankar has taken on State Education Minister and Trinamool Congress secretary general Partha Chatterjee over incidents of violence on the campus of Jadavpur University in Kolkata on Thursday evening.The Governor had intervened to personally escort Minister of State for Environment, Forest and Climate Change Babul Supriyo from the campus amid protests and heckling from students, who objected to his presence.Mr. Chatterjee had claimed that Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee had requested the Governor not to go to the university at the peak of commotion and to "give the government some time to peacefully solve the issue.""This is most unfortunate and shocking that our Governor, the custodian of the Constitution of the State, without informing the elected government went to the so-called rescue of the BJP leader from Jadavpur University… Chief Minister requested him several times that the Governor being the constitutional head need not go at this moment. The CM requested him to give the government some time to peacefully solve the issue," Mr. Chatterjee said.A press note issued by Mr. Dhankar's office said, the Minister was not aware of the developments that took place before the Governor went to the University to rescue Mr. Supriyo. "Obviously, he did not know of the developments that took place between the Governor and the DGP [Director General of Police]/ CS [Chief Secretary] as also the conversation with the Honorable Chief Minister," the press note said.Mr. Supriyo, along with designer Agnimitra Paul, had gone to the campus to attend a seminar organised by the Akhil Bhartiya Vidarthi Parishad (ABVP) on Thursday. However, several students had protested against their entry by raising black flags and asked him to leave. The situation escalated when Mr. Supriyo refused to budge. As tensions rose, he remained stuck inside the college premises till the Governor arrived at around 8 p.m. and escorted him out.Meanwhile, members of ABVP and BJP forcefully entered the college premises, vandalised university property and beat up some students.Trinamool issued a statement on Friday, reiterating Mr. Chatterjee's "stand" and argued that it "must be made very clear [that] universities are autonomous institutions and as per time-honoured tradition, police cannot enter university campus without permission of VC."While acknowledging that Mr. Dhankar had spoken to the Chief Minister and "duly appraised her", the Raj Bhawan note claimed that the Governor had very little option but to head for the university in south Kolkata."There were many telephonic interactions between the two and in his high regard that the Governor/Chancellor has for the Hon'ble CM, personally and for the Office the CM holds, he would not like to divulge the conversation between the two, except that he left for the place after sufficient time had elapsed and the situation did not show any change," the Raj Bhawan press note argued.However, a senior Trinamool leader claimed that it is the "job of the State administration to appraise the Governor about a crisis as law and order is still the State subject." This is for the first time that the new Governor and the ruling party directly confronted each other. read more

Moto G7, G7 Power could launch in India soon: Should you wait for them?
The Moto G7 series went official on Thursday, and sure enough there are four models in the new lineup. The Moto G7, G7 Plus, G7 Power and G7 Play have been announced bringing a new design language that is mostly about shedding bezels to make the phones look like they belong in 2019. Each of the new Moto phone has something unique to offer, whether it is a waterdrop display or a massive battery life. And like past Moto G phones, the Moto G7 series can be expected to launch in India soon enough.While Motorola has not officially confirmed the India launch of the Moto G7 lineup, a report from a few days ago claimed that the company will first bring the G7 and G7 Power to India, and the duo could come to the country by March-end. It is possible that the company will be keeping the G7 Plus and G7 Play for the second half of 2019. It's a similar strategy the company took for the Moto G6 series last year, launching the G6 Plus in India a few months after the regular model.The Moto G7 and G7 Power will have a tough fight ahead of them when they launch in India. The mid-range segment has become increasingly competitive in the country thanks to players like Xiaomi, Realme, Honor, and Nokia. These companies have brought premium-looking, power-packed devices at really competitive prices. Motorola has not been able to compete on a same level, losing market share to Xiaomi, Samsung, Vivo and Oppo, among others. Last year, the company announced the Snapdragon 450-powered Moto G6 at around Rs 16,000, and the Moto G6 Plus at around Rs 23,000.advertisementMoto G7 and G7 Power expected India priceConsidering the specs on offer, the Moto G7 series has been launched at a pretty high price in Brazil. The cheapest model, the G7 Play, starts at R$ 999 (approx Rs 19,208) while the G7 Power starts at R$ 1399 (approx Rs 26,899). The standard G7 costs R$1599 (approx Rs 30,745) while the G7 Plus will be selling for R$ 1899 (approx Rs 36,513).If the Moto G7 and G7 Power launch in India at these similar conversion rates, it could be a difficult sell. It seems likely that the company will launch the Moto G7 and G7 Power at prices closer to the US pricing. The G7 costs $299 (approx 21,000) in the US, while the G7 Power has a price of $249 (approx Rs 17,700).Even a direct translation of the US prices puts the Moto G7 and G7 Power at a difficult position in India. Motorola will have to aggressively price its devices here if it wants to take on the competition. But considering how the Moto G6 series launched in India last year, I wouldn't hold my breath to see something dramatically different from the Moto G7.Moto G7 and G7 Power key featuresThe Moto G7 and G7 Power offer some compelling new features for the Moto G lineup. The Moto G7 comes with a taller display compared to its predecessor thanks to thinner bezels all around and a waterdrop notch. It sports a 6.2-inch FHD+ (2270×1080) display and is backed by dual cameras on the back with a 12MP + 5MP configuration. It also offers a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor and yes, a 3.5mm headphone jack.The G7 Power, on the other hand, highlights a massive 5,000mAh battery, which Motorola claims will deliver up to 3 days of battery life. It also gets a similar 6.2-inch screen as the Moto G7, but with an HD+ (1520×720) resolution instead. It sports a 12MP sensor on the back and an 8MP front-facing camera. Like the G7, the G7 Power also offers a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor and a headphone jack. Both the phones also support 15W TurboPower fast charging, which will come in handy especially for the G7 Power.Should you wait for the Moto G7 and G7 Power?Some of these features do look exciting and are worth waiting for if you are a fan of the brand. But these aren't new features in the larger scheme of things. Waterdrop displays and beefy batteries have been introduced in the affordable segment for many months now. Phones like the Realme 2 Pro (Review) and Samsung Galaxy M20 (Review) offer these features at really affordable prices. At the end of the day, we are also looking at two Motorola phones that feature a Snapdragon 632 chipset and could come with a price tag over Rs 15,000.Motorola will need to get the pricing right if it wants the Moto G7 and G7 Power to work in India. We have an exhaustive list of phones like the Nokia 7.1, Poco F1, Realme 2 Pro, Oppo K1, Honor 8X and so on that offer great hardware along with quality design. Motorola has its work cut out for it, but it is worth waiting to see the company's strategy for India this year.advertisementALSO READ | Moto G7 vs Nokia 6.1 Plus: Stock Android, premium build but which one looks betterALSO READ | Moto G7 or Redmi Note 7: Latest Moto may launch in India soon, here is how it compares with upcoming Xiaomi read more

X-Men: Apocalypse Called Boring And Dated, Deadpool Promotes The Film In Japan, Series Based On Legion Being Worked On!
The X-Men: Apocalypse has met with a lot of criticism with the film being called confusing and messy. There are some critics who have come out to reveal that the movie looked dated and would have had the same review even five years ago.
The popular franchise was given a reboot with X-Men: First Class and it was a huge success followed by Days of Future Past. The producers had hoped that a similar fate awaits X-Men: Apocalypse, but this clearly wasn't the case.
The film might not have been a huge hit, but it did good business with a $528 million worldwide collection. The film took the viewers to the first mutant, Apocalypse and showed how the X-Men came together to fight him and stop the world from complete destruction. Given that Wolverine is leaving the X-Men at the end of X-Men: Apocalypse, Breathcast has reported that the upcoming X-Men is going to focus on the Dark Phoenix.
Den of Geek stated that the main reason for the failure of X-Men: Apocalypse was that the film felt repetitive, and there was nothing new for the viewers in it. The same characters of Charles Xavier and Magneto have been watched by the fans of the franchise, and their feuds have become the stuff that most X-Men films are dealing with.
Every movie, including X-Men: Apocalypse has tried to establish that in spite of being different, both Xavier and Magneto are very similar, and they each exist because of the other. Some fans have complained that X-Men: Apocalypse has dealt with the same aspect again, and this is where the movie becomes dated and boring.
The premise of Professor Xavier introducing Jean Gray to the team of mutants have been time and tested for over 50 years now since it was first released in the comic X-Men, later changed to Uncanny X-Men.
There are some fans of the franchise who feel that the films should move beyond Charles Xavier and Magneto and see how the mutants would fare with some other leader. The mutants have a lot of villains to be preoccupied with, and it's going to be interesting to see how a character like Wolverine, Storm, and even Cyclops can lead the team of X-Men.
There is something about the young and the vulnerable that always pulls in the sympathy, and this is one aspect that X-Men franchise can explore in the upcoming films. Focus on the teenagers who have been brought into the life of the mutants and villains, who are lost and are completely clueless about their identity. It is the human emotion that makes a film about villains and superhero relatable, and this is where X-Men: Apocalypse failed.
The films by Bryan Singer have always dealt with the young mutants and have tried to depict their struggles and tribulation and how with the progression of the narrative, they become more and more adept with their powers. The process of getting used to the power and the world around them goes hand in hand with their knowledge about their powers and the way they can affect the world as a whole.
There has always been a distinct relevance to the general world when it comes to the superhero movies, and it is the same with X-Men. However, Commdigi News reported that Bryan Singer ultimately didn't deal with this aspect in the X-Men: Apocalypse. He noted the allegorical level of the story, but then only mentioned it and moved beyond.

I am so sick of this. Fox makes their X-Men in the exact same light that Marvel / Disney makes The Avengers, with similar "problems" and X-Men gets the blunt of the criticism. For my money, X-Men: DOFP was the best crafted superhero film ever made. Singer was so confident in his abilities, he stuck his face in front of the camera. It took me a long time to spot him… even though he's literally right in front of the camera. That's a sign of a truly great film. Ask Alfred Hitchcock. So, I went into X-Men: Apocalypse trusting that Singer knows what he's doing and the film totally delivered. Everyone would rather tear Singer's X-Men apart for the pettiest reasons than just trust in the filmmaker to give them an experience in the X-Men universe. They would rather trust the fundamental cinematography in The Avengers films. It's easier to follow.

Hey, while I agree that Chuck vrs Magneto has got to end, its like if Bond was still dealing with Dr No, this was in no way a bad film. I liked the new kids, I liked Wolverines cameo. The film has got the team finally looking like the comic book by the last scene. Moving forward get rid of Lawrence and Magneto, have Chuck cameo.

Among the complicated things about insurance policy claims is the fact that it might also be argued that insurance coverage should apply when the damage first occurred, irrespective of when it was initially discovered. If you'd like to learn to attract financial abundance genuinely, I ask that you acquire my completely free report. The connection between the kid's behavior and disability, nevertheless, isn't the only component to be thought about in a manifestation determination. Personal protection is accomplished by employing insect repellants.Thus, if a youngster's misconduct has been shown to have a direct and significant relationship to their disability, the IEP team will have to immediately conduct an FBA of the kid, unless one is already conducted. Decreased sunlight exposure, leading to an absence of biophotons, has not only been associated with a greater chance of MS but likewise the evolution of cancer. Yellowish discoloration of the skin might be observed, as a consequence of jaundice.
The indicators may arrive in suddenly or progressively or may arrive in a fluctuating method.Again, on the topic of writing style, it's important to note the way the journal-entry narrative is related to the protagonist herself. It doesn't matter what lie someone believes provided that the truth remains concealed! Quite simply, fully embrace and relish it since it's all you've got.Finally, 15 Minute Manifestation Review many people started to think that the secret to getting whatever you want is just to think selected thoughts and focus on what you wanted and it is going to suddenly appears. Within them, there's a mind-boggling selection of life-affirming gifts and life-changing experiences. There is not anything mystical about this notion; it is equally as scientific as anything else about the law of attraction.When it doesn't get the job done, I follow-up with a letter. You're not helping whenever you feel a corrupt government controls you. Determine what the kid's disability is.Missing this exact straightforward distinction has contributed to quite lots of failed goals. Change, once more, corresponds nicely with the moon since it is constantly growing and contracting.
If your aim is to create dinner, then you could think the cause would be the collection of preparation steps.The decrease in growth hormone is not normally evident clinically.

Whenever you mean to manifest what you would like, and you're worried about, you won't ever be in the circulation of abundance from the universe. A chest radiograph is often utilized in diagnosis.Looking at a photo of something you desire is all well and good, but you have to observe" it with your mind's eye if you would like your physical eyeballs to have someday the ability to observe that object in real life. Remember you would like to concentrate on the positive. It's true your thoughts are the most significant things.
Once you've got a crystal clear intention that is focused and empowered by a very charged and positive attitude that you'll need to carry on giving energy to your preferred manifestation until it will become a reality. It's your imagination that seamlessly takes you from 1 reality to another, and you're the just 1 to make that selection. What determines our experience is that which we CHOOSE to provide our focus to.There's not a sole force opposing you; there is just a single force supporting you. The demand for power tends to blind folks of the previous experiences and enables them to manipulate the historical facts to fit the reality which they are attempting to create. What you're after, is the tradition of being thankful for what you would like later on, as though you currently have it now.
In Metaphysics there is but one commandment. God's changes aren't cosmetic. As stated earlier, having faith is essential for manifestation to occur.God is going to be glorified, and the Church is going to be edified! There is just one commandment in Metaphysics. Meditation may be used together with the Law of Manifestation that will help you to attain your wishes, targets, and desires.It has become a buzzword lately. It is now discussed all over the web and, not surprisingly, various charlatans are trying to sell us products that will supposedly help us do this. It is not simply another typical self-improvement methodology.Also, it fitted He should not start to work miracles from a young age. Drug therapy is not as successful. Therefore it wasn't fitting that Christ's birth needs to be announced using a star.

DHR Health First Hospital in South Texas to Offer the Latest, Cutting-Edge Heart Valve Replacement Technology
DHR Health continues to show its commitment to providing patients with the most advanced technology south of San Antonio
Norman Ramirez, M.D., F.A.C.C., Chief Medical Officer and Physician Executive (Heart and Vascular Institute) at DHR Health
Edinburg, Texas — DHR Health is expanding its expertise in cardiac care through the formation of the DHR Health Structural Heart, Valve and Endovascular Institute, the first in the Rio Grande Valley to offer comprehensive treatments, including Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR), Endovascular Aneurysm Repair (EVAR), Transcatheter Mitral Valve Repair (MitraClip Procedure) and the Left Atrial Appendage Closure (WATCHMAN). With heart disease affecting 48 percent of adults in America, Norman Ramirez, M.D., F.A.C.C., Chief Medical Officer and Physician Executive (Heart and Vascular Institute) at DHR Health, is pleased that individuals in the Rio Grande Valley who suffer from AFib, Mitral Regurgitation, Severe Aortic Stenosis, will now have a variety of options for treatment.
"DHR Health continues to show its commitment to providing patients with the most advanced technology. We are the only hospital south of San Antonio that offers these procedures," states Ramirez. "The impact of this new technology being utilized in the RGV will benefit many patients in our community who are at high risk, or even intermediate risk, for open heart surgery."
Focused on reducing and minimizing procedure and device-related complications and costs along with eliminating the need for open heart surgery, DHR Health's Structural Heart Institute provides patients a combination of medical and surgical programs that use the most minimally invasive interventions to repair and replace valves in the heart. Ramirez leads a team of cardiologists that work closely with referring physicians to evaluate the needs of each patient and develop a specific treatment plan. The goal is to find the best possible treatment for each patient they come in contact with and improve their quality of life. Each patient is provided with innovative, effective and comprehensive cardiovascular care here, in the Rio Grande Valley, without the need to leave home.
The DHR Health Heart Institute, the largest heart hospital in the Rio Grande Valley, and DHR Health Structural Heart, Valve and Endovascular Institute have joined their teams of interventional cardiologists and cardiovascular surgeons in order to provide patients these minimally invasive treatment options that have faster recovery times.
Elizabeth Fuentes, one of Ramirez's first patient's in the Rio Grande Valley to undergo surgery, arrived at DHR Health on August 12, 2016 to receive treatment via the TAVR procedure. "I was experiencing symptoms of a heart condition– shortness of breath and dizziness. It was at that time that I was referred to Dr. Ramirez at the DHR Health Heart Institute," states Fuentes. "I knew I was going to be the first patient undergoing this procedure, but I wasn't hesitant, I knew I was in good hands and I knew I wouldn't be the last."
About the Procedures
The TAVR allows for the replacement of a diseased aortic heart valve through a minimally invasive procedure without open-heart surgery and without surgical removal of the diseased valve. The device is typically inserted via an artery in the leg and then guided through the arteries into the heart. Once in place, the device expands and takes over the original valve's function to enable oxygen-rich blood to flow efficiently out of the heart. The TAVR allows patients to see results right away. Patients usually see immediate improvement in energy, breathing and their overall daily activities.
The MitraClip helps restore normal blood flow through the heart for patients who have mitral regurgitation, which occurs when blood leaks backwards through the mitral valve each time the left ventricle contracts. When the leakage is severe enough, a person may experience palpitations, shortness of breath, coughing, and swelling of the legs and feet. To correct this, a small device is attached to the mitral valve allowing the valve to close more completely. This procedure is less invasive than traditional open-heart surgery and may vary from person-to- person, however patients are usually released from the hospital within one-to-two days. Improvement is experienced immediately allowing patients to have a better quality of life soon after this procedure. If not treated, mitral regurgitation can cause other, more serious heart problems such as heart failure or death.
With 2.7 million Americans living with Atrial Fibrillation (AFib), patients and providers are now more hopeful with the availability of WATCHMAN, a permanent implant that closes off an area of the left atrial appendage of the heart to keep blood clots from forming and entering the blood stream and that can potentially cause a stroke. Ramirez recommends this implant for patients who suffer from AFib, a heart condition involving a quivering or irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia) that can lead to blood clots, stroke, heart failure and other heart-related complications and who cannot tolerate long term use of a strong oral blood thinner. Once the WATCHMAN device is implanted, blood thinners can be stopped minimizing risk of bleeding. The procedure is done under general anesthesia and takes about an hour. Patients commonly stay in the hospital overnight and leave the next day allowing them to get back to their daily activities.
If you would like more information on any of these procedures, please call the DHR Health Structural Heart, Valve, and Endovascular Institute at (956) 362-8590.

Your Life - Your Health
Have You Seen This? Kids crash BBC interview
By John Clyde, KSL.com Contributor | Posted - March 10, 2017 at 1:15 p.m.
(BBC News, YouTube)
YouTube: Children interrupt BBC News interview - BBC News
BBC News, YouTube
Estimated read time: 2-3 minutes
THE HOME OFFICE — Being a parent is not an easy job. Kids are demanding, exhausting and really do whatever they want even though we naively believe we're in charge.
I love being a dad, but when my brother's wife was pregnant with their first child, I told him this, "Kids will be the best-worst thing that ever happened to you." That may sound harsh, but any parent can understand where I'm coming from. You always love your kids, you just don't always like them. For those who are not parents, I think I can best illustrate this to you through this BBC interview.
Professor Robert Kelly was giving a live interview to BBC about the impact of the impeachment of South Korea President Park Geun-hye when his kids threw open the door to his home office and made an unscheduled cameo. Kelly kept going with the interview and didn't move except to try and push one of his kids out of the way. Of course that didn't work; his child was in the zone and nothing was going to stop her.
If one toddler wasn't enough, soon Kelly's younger child burst onto the scene in a baby walker and things got even better. That's when a woman comes in — maybe a wife, maybe a nanny — and desperately tries to wrangle the kids, which is next to impossible.
Yesterday's Have You Seen This?
Have You Seen This? The baby bottle robot
As a parent I got excited about this video, and then horrified, and then I couldn't stop laughing.
Everything about this video makes me smile, because it's hilarious. And as of right now, it's not my kids doing it, so it's awesome. Granted, I wasn't on the BBC, but I have a small understanding of what professor Kelly is going through.
I was once doing a Skype interview with a TV station from the south I'll leave unnamed. I was in my home office when my 3-year-old son decided he just needed to be with dad. I would have ushered him out, but I may or may not have been wearing pants at the time and couldn't exactly stand up. Don't judge me. It was early in the morning, and they were only supposed to see me from the waist up.
Anyway, I love this video, and I love being a parent, but man is it hard sometimes.

As a newly qualified instructor, the prospect of setting up your own independent driving school may seem like a far-fetched idea without any proper guidance and information. This is why many new driving instructors work for well established driving schools before gaining the experience and knowledge to venture out on their own. Many new instructors find that once they have qualified and are legally allowed to teach and charge learner drivers for lessons they are left on their own to find their way. As a result of this, the DSA introduced an info pack for new driving instructors to help them get started and make the most out of their career as a driving instructor.
The information found in the DSA info packs are a result of ADI's (Approved Driving Instructor) complaining of the lack of support and guidance after qualifying. Many ADI's did not get any guidance after finishing their course and were forced to find out any relevant information themselves. Advice such as 'how to find students for driving lessons' and 'how to continue personal and professional development' were not easily available. Driving instructors that qualified a few years ago were unfortunate and did not receive all the valuable information that is now available for free, so setting up a driving school years ago would have been more difficult.
Nowadays there is an abundance of free information on the internet, at the library and through government websites. There are even companies that specialise in advertising and helping new instructors set up and manage their own independent driving school. So take advantage of this free information pack and carve your way to a successful career in driving lessons.
Is there a quota that the DSA have to fill for the driving test?

Q: Parse.com manipulate Response Object I am trying to work Ember with Parse.com using
ember-model-parse-adapter by samharnack.
I add added a function to make multiple work search(like search engine) for which I have defined a function on cloud using Parse.Cloud.define and run from client.
The problem is the Array that my cloud response returns is not compatible with Ember Model because of two attributes they are __type and className. how can I modify the response to get response similar to that i get when I run a find query from client. i.e without __type and className
Example responses
for App.List.find() = {
   "results":[
      {
         "text":"zzz",
         "words":[
            "zzz"
         ],
         "createdAt":"2013-06-25T16:19:04.120Z",
         "updatedAt":"2013-06-25T16:19:04.120Z",
         "objectId":"L1X55krC8x"
      }
   ]
}
for App.List.cloudFunction("sliptSearch",{"text" : this.get("searchText")})
{
   "results":[
      {
         "text":"zzz",
         "words":[
            "zzz"
         ],
         "createdAt":"2013-06-25T16:19:04.120Z",
         "updatedAt":"2013-06-25T16:19:04.120Z",
         "objectId":"L1X55krC8x",
         "__type" : Object,             //undesired
         "className" : "Lists"          //undesired

      }
   ]
}

A: Thanks Vlad something like this worked for me for array
resultobj = [];

searchListQuery.find({
     success: function(results) {
         for( var i=0, l=results.length; i<l; i++ ) {
             temp = results.pop();
                    resultobj.push({
                         text: temp.get("text"),
                         createdAt: temp.createdAt,
                         updatedAt: temp.updatedAt,
                         objectId: temp.id,
                         words: "",
                         hashtags: ""
                    });
                }

A: In your cloud code before you make any response, create and object and extract from it the attributes/members you need and then response it. like so:
//lets say result is some Parse.User or any other Parse.Object
function(result)
{
   var responseObj = {};
   responseObj.name =  responseObj.get("name");
   responseObj.age =  responseObj.get("age");
   responseObj.id =  responseObj.id;

   response.success(responseObj);
}

on the response side you will get {"result": {"name": "jhon", "age": "26", "id": "zxc123s21"}}
Hope this would help you

Racks of vertical high-rise crops under a UV glow. The future of farming is now. (David Chen)
abc.net.au/news/climate-change-causes-indoor-farming-grows-in-popularity-qld/101718034
Australia's rich food bowl regions keep the nation fed but a year of storms and floods has repeatedly put them to the test and added to the soaring cost of fresh fruit and vegetables.
Climate-driven events are forecast to increase in the future but supply shortages experienced across the country this year could become a thing of the past as producers use their ingenuity and pivot towards indoor farming to shore up food security.
In a cavernous 4,000-square-metre warehouse on the Gold Coast, soon-to-be-planted lettuce seedlings will be safe from the elements.
Stacked Farms is in the process of fitting out high-rise trestles to grow crops under artificial light.
Chief commercial officer Michael Spencer said he expected interest in "vertical farming" to continue to grow due to increasing instability in climate.
"Whether it's flooding or pests we seem to get one or the other rolling through each season and it is becoming more frequent," he said.
"So indoor farming, or controlled environment agriculture as it's known, I think you'll see more advances in that space."

Once complete in July next year, the company expects to produce about 400 tonnes of lettuces a year, supplying businesses including local high-end restaurants and fast-food outlets.
It is also close to finishing research and development rooms for investigating growing fruits and flowers indoors.
'Grow anything, anywhere whenever'
Australia is about a decade behind vertical farms in the United States and Europe, but the University of Queensland's Professor Paul Gauthier believes Australia can catch up.
He said the benefits of having a controlled environment would appeal to many farmers facing an unpredictable climate.
"The biggest advantage is that I can tell you … what's going to be the weather inside my farm next year, in two years' time, in five years, in 10 years, and 100 years," Professor Gauthier said.
"The power of protected cropping is about controlling the environment and being able to be predictive about what we're doing."

Dr Gauthier said vertical farming and protected cropping had the potential to put an end to supply shortages of fresh food.
"You can grow anything, anywhere whenever you want," he said.
"You're not limited by time, you're not limited by climate, and you're not limited by the environment."
Dr Gauthier says controlled agriculture could save threatened crops like cocoa, coffee and vanilla. (ABC Southern Queensland: David Chen)
Dr Gauthier said indoor farming could also help save exotic crops such as cacao.
"Things like cacao or coffee, vanilla, they're going to disappear across the world because of climate change because it'll be too hot, or not the right conditions," he said.
"We can certainly grow them in protected cropping environments here in Queensland."
Power and money
Vertical farming and protected cropping aren't without their challenges, however.
Setting up the necessary systems requires significant investment, putting it out of reach for some farmers.
But for Barden Farms, in Queensland's Lockyer Valley, about 100 kilometres west of Brisbane, the investment in protective cropping has paid off.
When floods swept through the region early this year, some farms were out of action for months.

But national manager Nathan Clackson said workers were able to get into its greenhouse just days after flooding in Gatton to harvest crops including basil and Asian greens.
"We literally stood in here in gumboots and picked our crop," Mr Clackson said.
The greenhouse, he said, had been the most consistent part of the business in the past 12 months.

"This year, we had massive orders from some customers because their regular suppliers fell over," he said.
"They couldn't compete in the winter."
Reducing need for water and chemicals
Susan Buitendag, the company's quality assistance manager for Queensland and Tasmania, said the greenhouse also helped reduce water and chemical use.
"We don't struggle with pests and diseases as much inside the tunnel. I think we've sprayed inside maybe once," Ms Buitendag said.
And the greenhouse had also allowed them to produce a high-quality and uniform crop, which customers loved.
Susan Buitendag says protected cropping helps ensure consistently good quality crops.
The amount of electricity required is another barrier to indoor farming and with recent spikes in prices, that has been a problem in Europe and the United States.
Dr Gauthier said Australia was well placed to deal with those challenges.
"One thing that Australia has in huge amounts is sunlight and I think there are a lot of advantages in using solar panels and ... we can put a farm next to it," he said.
"The grid is going to be challenged by vertical farming ... we need to think ahead and include that into the infrastructure that we're going to build for the future."

Key to world food security
Data on the number of vertical farms and protected cropping structures in Australia is still being gathered by the University of New England, but according to industry groups the sector was growing by up to seven per cent each year.
Can protected cropping save Australia's salad hubs?
When lettuce prices jumped to $10 off the back of extreme weather in NSW and Queensland it sent a shockwave through the nation, but some farmers in the flood zone were left relatively unscathed – because they grow under cover.
Dr Gauthier said as the sector grew, Australia could play a major role in helping improve the world's food security.
"We can grow a lot of food. Not necessarily for Australia, but also for the rest of the world — we could export even more and eventually help feed South-East Asia," he said.
"We can grow any kind of food — that's the advantage."
For Michael Spencer, the world of indoor farming is one filled with opportunities.
"Nutraceuticals extracts, pharmaceutical grade quality products — we think there's a lot of opportunities as we head towards new frontiers," he said.
This story is part of a series published by ABC regional Queensland teams exploring the impacts and opportunities of climate change in their communities.

According to the latest U.S. Drought Monitor, the trend toward drought improvement continued across a majority of the High Plains this week as recent moisture helped to improve both short- and long-term deficits. In Kansas, however, conditions remain largely unchanged from last week. While most of Kansas enjoys drought-free conditions, areas of stubborn dryness and moderate drought persist across portions of northeast Kansas. Since remaining deficits are at longer time scales, greater than 6 months, the drought designation in those areas remains classified as "Long-Term," due to ongoing impacts to hydrology and ecology. The greatest chances for precipitation in the coming week are in the Pacific Northwest, Northern and Central Rockies, and across the eastern half of the continental U.S., particularly in a band stretching from east Texas to New England. For Kansas, the NOAA/WPC 7-day Quantitative Precipitation Forecast appears to favor good chances for lighter precipitation over a large portion of Kansas this week.

Minister denies reports of free lateral flow tests being scrapped
The minister said he did not 'recognise' where the story was coming from

A sign warning that take away lateral flow test kits are out of stock on the window of a pharmacy
The former vaccines minister has denied reports that the UK Government intends to scrap free lateral flow tests as the country 'learns to live' with Covid-19.
Reports suggested that free lateral flow tests could soon be scrapped for the majority of the public within weeks as plans were being considered by officials to make free tests only available in 'high-risk' settings such as care homes, hospitals and schools.
Now, the former vaccines minister is denying such claims and said there were no plans to stop lateral flow tests being free, WalesOnline reports.

Following a report in the Sunday Times that free lateral flow tests are being scaled back, Education Secretary Nadhim Zahawi told Sky's Trevor Phillips on Sunday: "I saw that story this morning, which I was slightly puzzled by because I don't recognise it at all. This is absolutely not where we are at.
"For January alone, 425 million lateral flow tests coming in and they will continue to be available for free.
"I don't really recognise where that story is coming from."
The Education Secretary was then questioned on whether there are no plans to stop the tests from being free, he said: "Absolutely not."
Nadhim Zahawi
A senior UK government source has reportedly told The Times that there could be less testing with more reserve capacity able to be rolled-out if the number of infections begins to surge.
More than £6bn has been spent on mass testing using the rapid turnaround lateral flow devices.
Lateral flow tests are currently provided to individuals at no charge in both England and Wales.
The Welsh Government has previously said the tests being used in Wales are part of its UK allocation of rapid test kits which have been paid for by the UK Government.
The UK government has said the tests are part of its NHS test and trace funding of £37bn over two years.
It would need to be seen how the move would affect people in Wales if the UK government did decide to stop providing tests free of charge.
A new system, which the paper says could be unveiled within weeks, could mean free tests being provided only in high-risk settings such as care homes, hospitals and schools, and to people with symptoms.
Contact tracing by NHS Test and Trace would also be expected to be scaled back.
The source said: "I don't think we are in a world where we can continue to hand out free lateral flow tests to everybody for evermore. It's likely we will move to a scenario where there is less testing but where we have a capacity to ramp it up if necessary, such as in the winter."
Currently families are able to order the tests online, with the public urged to undertake one at least twice a week.

The Emirates Telecommunications Corporation, also known as Etisalat, started blocking Tor using DPI on June 25 2012. It seems they are doing something similar to Ethiopia (#6045) and Kazakhstan (#6140), but we should figure out how these cases are different.
The three bridges in https://blog.torproject.org/blog/update-censorship-ethiopia are working. These are bridges with a patch that removes 0x0039 from SERVER_CIPHER_LIST.
I assume Tor 0.2.3.17-beta works there too then. Somebody should actually check it though.
Tor 0.2.3.17-beta will not work for .et (if bridge answer with the same sever hello, etc), it's matter only server side answer not client side. UAE likely more .et, they drops server hello.
One user confirmed that Tor 0.2.3.17-beta works in UAE. The same user also reported that the three bridges in our Ethiopia blog post have been blocked. What's different in 0.2.3.17-beta?
0.2.3.17 has an updated TLS cipher list to match Firefox 8 and later. Resolved #4744.
Closing this old ticket. Newer information about the UAE is in #21345.

Its a struggle with my bench though, pretty much stuck on 60 KG...How long should I be on this weight roughly ? I'm eating well and enough...I do 3/8's, so is it a good idea to drop my reps in order to lift a heavier weight ?
I'd say about 3 weeks now, i know thats not long, but 60 KG really isnt that heavy. i thought id start to struggle as i got to around the 70 KG + mark.
I havent tried heavier yet, but on my last set im still just pushing the last few out.
So you rekon a couple of months max is the most, thanks, good to know.
I was stuck for a long time. I found that by working heavier on my rows and overhead press, my bench improved drastically.
Yeah mate, you why would 70kg be your next weight though? why not 62.5kg? etc.
I work with 3 sets of 8.
When I can manage 8-8-8 with good form I up the weight. Depending on the exercise will be 2kg/2.5kg/5kg.
I've found that only my military press stagnates. The rest go up either reps or weight every week.
E.g. 8-6-5 will go up to 8-7-6 and then 8-8-6 etc.
Im the same red alert, thats how i do all my progressions...i have the same struggle on military press, what u benching mate ?
Owen, my next aim would be 62.5 kg mate, but im saying i thought the real struggle would start when i got to 70 kgs.
It seems people start making decent pec gains when they start going over 70 KG, so im desperate to get to that mark ! bloody annoying !
- Deload. Drop weight down for a week (e.g. 40kg 3x8).
- Form. Make sure your form is good. Lift more like a powerlifter if you want to add weight.
- Work on strength for a while. e.g. Spend 4 weeks doing 8-5 sets of 3 reps. Aiming to work upto a heavy triple on the last week (not heavy every week).
Thanks mate, if im still finding it hard in a couple of weeks, ill give that a try.


Advanced Management Skills require you, as a manager, to recognise when different behavioural styles should be adopted to suit different situations. This workshop takes the approach of the manager 'facilitating' staff, i.e. enabling them to reach their full potential and adopts a focus on the cooperative use of power with people rather than over them. This workshop is limited to a maximum of 12 delegates to ensure that our experienced trainer has the time to assist you with any personal complex points that may arise during the day.
This course has been designed for middle and senior managers, or for managers who have already attended one of our other management courses i.e. Supervision Skills, Leading your Team and Raising the Bar or The Art of Delegation, Motivation and Empowerment.
The Advanced Management Programme will help you determine the most effective management approach for a given situation. Each session introduces the key skills, knowledge and behaviours you'll need to draw upon to become more effective as a manager.
"This was a truly exceptional course - well worth attending and being a part of"
