If you're a quarterback and you're in his room, don't you dare tell Mario Verduzco it's Saturday. It's not Saturday, it's gameday. When the Huskers return to the practice field on Tuesday, it won't be Tuesday. It'll be gameday. At his last stop in Orlando, Nebraska's newest quarterbacks coach wouldn't let his signal-callers leave a practice without first answering that simple question. It's gameday, every day.
Pretty much every Nebraska coach has stressed the importance of practicing like it's a game but in the quarterback room, that approach might be as important as anywhere. The Huskers are learning an entirely different offensive scheme from the one three of the four available guys were in last year, but there's also virtually no in-game experience in that room to fall back on. Between the four guys expected to compete for the most important position on offense, there's one half of one game's worth of experience.
Those guys need all the gamedays they can get between now and Sept. 1.
Most of the install of the offense has been done. The Huskers scrimmaged Saturday and by most accounts, the defense won the day. As the quarterbacks go, everyone played.
"All the guys are getting their reps right now; we're splitting them up as evenly as we possibly can so there's a rotation that, from their vantage point and anybody else's vantage point, they can't read into it," Verduzco said.
Does anyone have an edge right now?
"No," Verduzco responded with a nod and a matter-of-fact tone.
Even if there was someone poking out above the group, the Huskers aren't going to say. Offensive coordinator Troy Walters was asked about the race and said virtually the same thing as Verduzco: all are getting their shots, all have looked solid.
But even though we don't know who's leading who, we know a little bit about what this new staff is looking for.
Part of that leadership and command that Walters is talking about reveals itself in how the guys handle adversity. For the group on roster last season — sophomores Patrick O'Brien and Andrew Bunch and redshirt freshman Tristan Gebbia — they had as good a teacher to learn from as they could have hoped for in Tanner Lee. Lee had a roller coaster season but through it all was a consummate professional.
Verduzco wants to see those same things with this group.
So far there haven't been a ton of turnovers from the quarterbacks — the count stands at four, something Verduzco is pleased with — but there have still been moments of frustration — a missed throw, a bad read, an unknown play — that Verduzco has used as teaching moments.
With only two weeks left until the Spring game, we still don't know who will start for the Huskers behind center and it doesn't appear any of the quarterbacks themselves know either. There also hasn't really been any indication of how long the competition will last. But, there is one question we can be sure each and every quarterback will know the answer to.

Wonderland Hotel: The environmentally-friendly resort carved into the Shanghai landscape
By icon
Introducing the latest offering from InterContinental Hotels
Credit: InterContinental Shanghai Wonderland Hotel
If it weren't for the glass arches and overlapping structures, from above, you may have never known it was there. That is the InterContinental Shanghai Wonderland Hotel, leading the way in architecture and eco-friendly technology. As a brand that has built an empire of hotels from 1946, this latest addition may be its most spectacular.
Taking full advantage of the landscape, the Wonderland Hotel is situated a short drive from the city of Shanghai and nestled in-between cliff-faces that surrounds the resort, you can see why it has earned its name. Featuring 336 rooms that span over 19 floors, two floors rise above the surrounding landscape while several can be found below the lake, offering a 360 degree view of its home environment. Giving the hotel its spectacular facade, a central glass atrium pours over the exterior, mimicking the waterfall across the lake.
Creating experiences that compliment the area, a watersports complex is housed underground along with a pool and restaurant, while over the quarry is an extreme sports centre for the brave and thrill seeker guests.
If its impressive grounds and complex architecture is not enough, the InterContinental Shanghai Wonderland Hotel also boasts environmentally-friendly features with a green roof, solar panels, and geothermal energy.

The Time to Rally Around Protecting Our Critical Infrastructure is Now
Posted on Oct 30, 2017 by Tony Kontzer
The massive 2003 power outage that left more than 50 million Americans and Canadians in the dark may have been a harbinger of things to come.
The outage served as a sort of dress rehearsal for what happens when a major chunk of the power grid is rendered useless, and the fact that it was caused by a programming error in the distributor's alarm system should still make us very nervous. Some 14 years later, it seems clear that not only could hackers likely mimic the conditions that unfolded that fateful August 14, they could probably take it several steps further.
It's just such a fear that makes our critical infrastructure a constant — and important — consideration, one that has been trumpeted often in October as part of Cyber Security Awareness Month. In fact, the last week of the month is devoted to protecting critical infrastructure. It's only logical that just weeks after 145 million records were swiped from one of our most important data stewards, Equifax, we should turn out attention to any critical systems that are vulnerable to cyber attack, the power grid being chief among them.
"The electric power industry understands that a safe and reliable flow of electricity is paramount not only to our nation's security but also to the well-being of all Americans," Scott Aaronson, executive director for security and preparedness at the Edison Electric Institute, wrote recently for InsideSources.
Aaronson's words came just two months after the President's National Infrastructure Advisory Council (NAIC) issued a report featuring a number of suggestions on how to strengthen the defenses protecting the pieces of our critical infrastructure. That report makes the argument that those defenses aren't currently up to snuff.
"We believe the U.S. government and private sector collectively have the tremendous cyber capabilities and resources needed to defend critical private systems from aggressive cyber attacks — provided they are properly organized, harnessed and focused," the report read. "Today, we're falling short."
What's more, the report also implies that there's a now-or-never component to the urgency facing infrastructure stewards.
"There is a narrow and fleeting window of opportunity before a watershed, 9/11-level cyber attack to organize effectively and take bold action," the report states ominously.
Among the recommendations the NAIC made were things such as establishing separate, secure communication networks, piloting machine-to-machine information-sharing technologies and adopting better scanning tools and assessment practices.
But if another recent report from Accenture is to be believed, there's not a lot of faith among global utility executives that we're on a path to vastly improved security. More than half believe their countries could see an interruption in electrical supplies due to cyber attack within the next five years, while less than half feel they are well prepared to the meet the challenges resulting from such an attack.
That said, Accenture offered five steps it believes power distributors should take to greatly improve their defenses. These include:
investigating a platform approach to cyber security capabilities;
integrating resilience into asset and process design;
sharing threat information;
developing security and emergency management governance models; and
developing relationships with regional security officials and cyber-response experts.
The report also suggested that power distributors have proven adept in dealing with other types of challenges, and that they need to apply some of those lessons to the cyber security arena.
"Distribution businesses are well-versed at delivering reliable power in the face of storms, asset failures and accidents," the report states. "Building cybersecurity capabilities at the heart of the smart grid is now the imperative and the opportunity for utilities."
The same can be said for those whose job it is to secure other pieces of our infrastructure, from food and water delivery to roads and bridges to health care systems. As Michelle Alvarez, threat researcher and editor for IBM Managed Security Services, reported in a recent post for IBM's SecurityIntelligence news site, attacks on the industrial control systems infrastructure providers so often depend on more than doubled between 2015 and 2016. Such trends indicate a clear uptick in the threats critical infrastructure systems face.
"The stakes for energy and utilities companies are higher than ever," Alvarez wrote. "The health and welfare of whole nations could potentially be at risk."
This should be an exciting calling for cyber security professionals, who are normally called upon to protect data. As meaningful as it is to protect critical data and prevent consequences such as competitive disadvantage and identify theft, it's not often that cyber security folks are asked to save entire countries.
They're being asked to do just that now, and the battle figures to heat up in the coming years. No less than our physical, social and economic well-being is riding in the balance. Here's hoping the cyber security world is up to the challenge.

Taking medications is not the only working method to lower blood pressure. It can also be done naturally when done the right way. Basic natural treatments like regular exercise, diet lifestyle changes, and relaxation method like meditation can have a significant effect.
Robert Schneider who is the Dean of the College of Maharishi Vedic Medicine at the Maharishi University of Management in Fairfield talked about meditation as an effective way to treat high blood pressure, and he advised "Meditation, not medication." High blood pressure is a serious medical condition, and the devastating effect is widely discussed in all available forums and media. Research by WHO once shows that the three leading causes of death, in the U.S. are Heart disease (heart failure, heart attack) and stroke.
Research by Dr. R. Schneider and many other leading medics in the country is worried due to citing statistics from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI). Their research shows that about 50 million adults in the United States are suffering from high blood pressure and if they are left untreated it can be serious life treat – the sooner the treatment, the better their condition.
Transcendental Meditation is a type of meditation that involves sitting comfortably and closing the eyes for about 20 minutes, and it should be done twice a day, for the mind and body to be able to achieve a quality rest. While in the relax mode with your eyes closed in a quiet place and a comfortable position, for twice a day and 20 minutes a session, Transcendental Meditation requires repetition of the "mantra." Transcendental Meditation is the only one that has been thoroughly studied and found to be able to reduce the risk factor for heart disease among many other meditative techniques.
When Transcendental Meditation gets you in deep rest, it will spark biochemical changes and helps the body and mind reach a more balanced state. Such a more balanced state is triggering the self-repair mechanism of the body. Transcendental Meditation has also been proven to help reduce systolic blood pressure by more than 10 points and diastolic pressure by more than 6 (without the help of any medication) according to a study led by Dr. Schneider and reported in 1995. Many simple techniques can be used to lower blood pressure gradually to retake control of your life and Transcendental Meditation is one of them.

Avon Fire and Rescue
Bath firefighters tackle Newbridge caravan fire which left nearby car 'badly scorched'
Crews were praised for their swift response
Bronte HowardTrainee news reporter
A caravan and car were ablaze in Bath over the weekend in a fire which spread to nearby trees and left a parked car badly damaged.
Firefighters from Bath fire station, along with crews from Patchway, Bedminster and Kingsway in Bristol were called to the blaze at 12.24pm on Sunday (February 25).
Initially, it was thought that a person had been seen entering the caravan outside a property on Brassmill Lane in Newbridge.
According to a passer-by, it is thought that an elderly woman lives in the caravan.
However, everybody was later accounted for and nobody had been inside the caravan during the fire, said a spokeswoman for Avon Fire and Rescue Service.
Firefighters attending the blaze in Newbridge
The spokeswoman said when crews arrived "a caravan and car were well alight".
Jonathan Gwilliams, who witnessed the fire, said: "My girlfriend and I were taking a walk along the towpath when we saw smoke coming out of the caravan window.
"At this point the smoke was light and white and it looked like steam off a cooking pot.
"As we got closer though we could smell burning.
"I had a quick look through the window but couldn't see anyone inside so we crossed to the opposite side of the road and called the fire services on 999.
Smoke billows from the caravan in Newbridge
"In the meantime two other men who I don't know attempted to knock on the side of the caravan but there was no answer.
"The fire brigade responded quickly, less than three minutes I think, but by then the smoke was thick and black with clear flames underneath and inside, and nearby trees were on fire.
"It was controlled quickly, but not before a parked car adjacent was badly scorched.
"The firefighters had by this point wheeled it manually out of range to prevent a detonation I assume.
"Some people at the site told me that a lady lived in the caravan, but nobody knew who she was or if she was in at the time."

A Chronicle reader took a photograph of the incident. Crews can been seen extinguishing the fire as large plumes of smoke spread.
The tweet sent from the @Physioimpules account reads: "Bad fire on Locksbrook Road.
"Caravan alight.
"Fire service with quick impressive response."
Firefighters used two breathing apparatus' and a high-pressure hose reel to extinguish the flames and nobody was injured.
The fire is believed to have been accidental, caused by cooking fumes within the caravan.

Hornets expect to change name to Pelicans
Marc J. Spears
Yahoo! Sports December 4, 2012, 11:24 PM UTC
The New Orleans Hornets are expected to change their nickname to the Pelicans as early as the 2013-14 season, numerous sources told Yahoo! Sports.
The Hornets planned to change their nickname since Tom Benson, owner of the New Orleans Saints, purchased the team on April 14. Benson also owns the rights to the nickname Pelicans.
The Hornets also considered the nicknames Krewe (groups of costumed paraders in the annual Mardi Gras carnival in New Orleans) and Brass.
Louisiana is the Pelican State. The brown pelican is the state bird and appears on the state flag and seal, and official state painting. Moreover, the Pelicans played minor league baseball in New Orleans in all but nine seasons from 1887-1959 and in 1977.
Gayle Benson, Benson's wife, told Fox Sports New Orleans recently her preference for new team colors was navy blue, red and gold.
The Hornets came to New Orleans in 2002 from Charlotte. New Orleans has also had an NBA team called the Jazz, which moved to Salt Lake City in 1979.
Some fans of the Charlotte Bobcats are hoping to get their old Hornets nickname back. The Hornets began playing in Charlotte in 1988. Bobcats owner Michael Jordan told The Charlotte Observer he would consider changing it back to Hornets if the name was available.

The China trademark cases you need to know about
Huang Hui
Wanhuida Intellectual Property
Last year, a number of interesting trademark cases were adjudicated. As well as showcasing that the level of protection of trademark rights in China is constantly rising, the following decisions provide important insight into the handling of trademark refusals, oppositions and invalidations (relative grounds).
Most of the judgments were rendered by the Beijing IP Court and the Beijing High Court, with prosecution disputes handled by the trademark administration (ie, the China National IP Administration (CNIPA), which replaced the China Trademark Office (CTMO) and the Trademark Review and Adjudication Board (TRAB) after an administrative reshuffling).
Cases centred on the similarity of trademarks and goods
The likelihood of confusion is the ultimate reason for refusing or invalidating a trademark. Yet, this concept, which depends on several factors, is not defined in the law. The Beijing IP Court and Beijing High Court are frequently faced with the difficulty of evaluating the degree of similarity between trademarks and between goods, the level of the reputation of a prior trademark, the consequence of a coexistence agreement or, even, decide if it is possible to 'extend' the reputation of a registered trademark to a subsequent application. Thus, the below cases are instructive.
John Deere, a US-based manufacturer of agricultural equipment, requested the invalidation of the trademark ZHONGCEDEER, citing its prior trademarks DEERE and JOHN DEERE. The registrant argued that other trademarks including the word 'Deere' had been registered without any confusion. The TRAB, the Beijing IP Court and the Beijing High Court ((2019) Jing Xing Zhong No 7233) agreed to invalidate the trademark, adding that the existence of other registered marks containing the word Deere was not decisive to the case.
US-based 3M Company tried to eliminate a series of 3LM trademarks designating sandpapers and abrasives registered in 2015. The TRAB refused to invalidate, considering that the marks and the products were not similar, and the Beijing IP Court confirmed the TRAB's decision. However, the decisions were reversed by the Beijing High Court ((2019) Jing Xing Zhong No 1164), which acknowledged the reputation of 3M and determined that the marks were similar and that their products overlapped to a large extent.
Reputation can, however, be a double-edge argument. This happened to Swedish car manufacturer Volvo, which requested the invalidation of VOVO filed in Class 9 (notebooks). The Beijing IP Court considered that, since Volvo was very well known for cars, but had not yet used the mark in Class 9, the public would not be confused. Fortunately for the auto brand, the Beijing High Court ((2019) Jing Xing Zhong No 3870) disagreed with this reasoning and said that the examination rules do not provide that there is less likelihood of confusion if a trademark enjoys a high reputation.
Coexistence agreements can help (sometimes)
When similarity is not too high, a coexistence agreement can help – but not always, as the cases below illustrate.
Dulwich College's application for the registration of its name in Chinese was rejected by the CTMO, citing a trademark using the same two Chinese characters (德威). The TRAB maintained the refusal. Before the Beijing IP Court, Dulwich College produced a letter of consent from the registrant of the cited trademark, and the court approved the registration. The TRAB appealed to the Beijing High Court ((2020) Jing Xing Zhong No 2872), which took into account the global difference between the visual elements of the trademarks, as well as the coexistence agreement, adding that such agreement did not violate any law.
The same scenario happened when Hunter Boots, a UK-based company, filed an application for the registration of HUNTER in Class 3 (shoe cream, waxes and abrasive), which was rejected by the CTMO, citing two prior trademarks using the same word. The Beijing High Court ((2020) Jing Xing Zhong No 1117) finally considered that, given the coexistence agreement, and again the global difference between the two marks, there was no risk of confusion.
Aviko, a Dutch potato food maker, filed the trademark AVIKO TULIP, including additional Chinese characters, in Class 29 (potato pancakes and other products) but the application was rejected by the CTMO, which cited no less than 10 prior trademarks. After challenging and eliminating several of the marks before the TRAB and the Beijing IP Court, Aviko produced letters of consent signed by the two remaining trademark owners. The Beijing High Court ((2019) Jing Xing Zhong No 6070), based on such coexistence agreements, agreed that the applied-for trademark could be registered.
Peter Thomas Roth was not so lucky. His trademark was rejected by the CTMO, citing his own related company's prior identical mark. Roth submitted his coexistence agreement and the Beijing IP Court agreed. But the Beijing High Court ((2017) Jing Xing Zhong No 761) refused to have two almost identical trademarks registered by two different entities.
Extension of reputation of a prior registration
This is a relatively rare scenario. The owner of a registered trademark (trademark N1) wishes to file a new application for another trademark (trademark N3), but a third party has successfully registered a similar trademark (trademark N2). Is the application of new trademark N3 an extension of its prior registered trademark N1? Such an argument is normally not accepted, except in very few cases.
For instance, Italian garments company Dama filed a visual trademark in Class 25, which was refused by the CTMO, citing several prior marks. Dama produced evidence of its international reputation and argued that the new trademark was a simplification of its own prior registered trademark in China, but neither the TRAB, the Beijing IP Court nor the Beijing High Court ((2020) Jing Xing Zhong No 3868) accepted the argument. The new application remained rejected.
Swiss company Novartis filed the mark ALCON in Class 9 (contact lenses). The mark was refused by the CTMO, which cited a prior trademark AICON. Novartis tried, in vain, to convince the TRAB, the Beijing IP Court and the Beijing High Court ((2019) Jing Xing Zhong No 8139) that the reputation acquired by its own prior marks should extend and benefit to its new application.
However, Gillette successfully persuaded the Beijing IP Court and the Beijing High Court to accept to register its MACH 3 application for shaving lotion in spite of an existing prior trademark 'Mach & device'. The TRAB and the Beijing IP Court refused but the Beijing High Court ((2019) Jing Xing Zhong No 7466) acknowledged that Gillette had obtained a high reputation for razors, and that, even if there are some overlapping elements between MACH 3 and 'Mach & device', the registration of MACH 3 would not create a likelihood of confusion when used on shaving lotion.
Using the right of name (Article 32 of the Trademark Law)
Nicholas Kirkwood successfully opposed an application for the registration of his name in Class 9 (sunglasses). The CNIPA, the Beijing IP Court and the Beijing High Court ((2019) Jing Xing Zhong No 2653) considered that Nicholas Kirkwood is known to the public as a shoe designer, that shoes and sunglasses have a certain relation, and that the applicant was unable to provide a reasonable explanation for choosing such name.
Jeremy Shu-How Lin, the first Chinese basketball player to have been drafted in the NBA, found that his name had been registered in 2011 in Class 25 for garments. He applied to the TRAB for the invalidation of the trademark. The TRAB agreed, after verifying that, at the time when the mark was filed, the name of the basketball player was already known in China. Both the Beijing IP Court and the Beijing High Court ((2019) Jing Xing Zhong No 1230) confirmed the decision.
Basketball legend Michael Jordan was faced with an even more difficult situation. His Chinese name ("乔丹Qiaodan") had been registered for more than five years and was, therefore, "irrevocable". However, he took action before the Shanghai Intermediate Court, asking for an injunction to stop using his name. The court could not order the cessation of use but found an original solution: order the defendant to always use signs indicating that it is not related to Michael Jordan ((2012) Hu Er Zhong Min Yi (Min) Chu Zi No 1).
Utilising copyright protection (Article 32)
Copyright can be a useful tool. US company American Water Chemicals requested the invalidation of the trademark AWC registered in Class 1 (water purifying chemicals), based on its copyright on the design below. The TRAB rejected the request. The Beijing IP Court, however, recognised that the presentation of the three letters, with a wave inside, was unique and deserved to be protected by copyright and invalidated the mark. The decision was confirmed by the Beijing High Court ((2019) Jing Xing Zhong No 147).
The famous Cognac producer Hennessy registered a copyright protecting the shape of its famous bottle Paradis and launched a civil action against several brandy producers that were using this bottle. The Guangdong High Court, after Hennessy produced a statement from the designer of the bottle establishing the transfer of the right, awarded Rmb500,000 as damages ((2019) Yue Min Zhong No 1665). This protection of a work of applied art granted in the context of a civil litigation could naturally extend to the context of invalidation or opposition based on Article 32 of the Trademark Law.
Bad faith (Articles 32, 15 and 44.1)
Several cases were adjudicated on the ground of Article 32 of the Trademark Law, which protects a prior used trademark which, although not registered in China, has already reached a "certain influence" in China. The prior user of such a mark must establish that the registration has been obtained by "improper means". In such cases, "improper means" can be proven by the existence of prior business relationships, a circumstance specifically evoked in Article 15. Sometimes, Article 44.1 (obtaining registration by fraudulent means) is also involved.
In one case, German company Dr Fritz Faulhaber GmbH requested the invalidation of the trademark FAULHABER, registered in Class 7 (electronic industrial equipment), based on its prior use of the mark and on the existence of its prior business relationship with the registrant. The TRAB rejected the request. The Beijing IP Court maintained the decision, considering that the products involved were not the same (the mark had been used on machine parts, while the registration designated complete machines). The Beijing High Court ((2019) Jing Xing Zhong No 2782) reversed the decision, finding that the goods machine and spare parts were associated products and that, in view of the previous business relationships, the bad-faith subjective intention of the trademark registrant should be taken into consideration.
Elsewhere, US-based cutlery maker Ergo Chef had a distributor in China. This distributor filed an ERGO CHEF trademark application designating electric toasters, refrigerated cabinets and water purification installations. Ergo opposed the application and the CTMO agreed to reject the trademark. The TRAB and the Beijing IP Court disagreed, considering that cutlery and toasters are not similar products. The Beijing High Court ((2020) Jing Xing Zhong No 3727) reversed the decisions, finding that cutlery and toasters are similar products and considering further that the distributor of Ergo Chef had filed the trademark application in bad faith.
Nobilia is a German company specialising in fitted kitchens which owns the trademark NOBILIA in Class 20 (furniture). Nobilia requested the invalidation of the trademark NOBILIA registered by Chinese citizen Duan in Class 11 (electric heaters). The TRAB refused the request, considering that the products were not similar. The Beijing IP Court maintained the decision. However, the Beijing High Court ((2019) Jing Xing Zhong No 9579) reversed the decision, taking into account the high reputation of the NOBILIA trademark for kitchens and finding further that Duan had been squatting a significant number of other renowned trademarks, thereby committing the act of "obtaining registration by fraudulent means" under Article 44.1 of the Trademark Law.
Creaddict is a Paris-based jeweller, reputed for its brand Redline. In 2016 Creaddict filed a request for invalidation against the trademark REDLINE, which had been filed in 2010 by a Mr Chen in Class 14 (watches and clocks). The mark had been transferred to Yiquan Trading Company. Creaddict claimed and proved that Chen had falsified a licence pretending that he was self-employed. The TRAB, then the Beijing IP Court, supported the invalidation and cancelled the trademark on the ground of Article 41.1 (now 44.1, (registration obtained by fraudulent means)). The cancellation was confirmed by the Beijing High Court ((2019) Jing Xing Zhong No 4866).
Well-known trademarks (Article 13.3)
Article 13.3 of the Trademark Law provides what is called 'cross-category' protection. When a trademark is sufficiently known, its reputation is considered as extending to other categories of goods/services, and the decision is made on a case-by-case basis. Recent key cases are detailed below.
Claiming the well-known status of its trademark, Rolls Royce requested the invalidation of a trademark which was the transliteration of its name in Chinese (劳狮來狮) and had been registered in Class 19 (ceramic tiles, floors, marble and architectural glass). The TRAB, finding no relation between cars and floors, refused the request. The Beijing IP Court reversed the decision of the TRAB, which appealed to the Beijing High Court. The Beijing High Court ((2019) Jing Xing Zhong No 9720) upheld the Beijing IP Court's decision and maintained the invalidation.
Volkswagen requested the invalidation of DA ZHONG (大夂in Chinese characters) that had been registered in Class 7 (engine sparks plugs, auto water pumps and shock absorbers). The TRAB refused the request but the Beijing IP Court considered that the protection of well-known trademarks is not limited to associated goods and should extend to cases where the public may think that there is some association between the trademarks, which could lead to free riding on the reputation of the well-known mark. The Beijing High Court ((2019) Jing Xing Zhong No 3671) upheld the invalidation.

Instagram now lets you save your livestreams forever
By James Walker Mar 20, 2017 in Technology
Instagram has announced a small but significant new feature that makes one of its headline capabilities more useful. It's now possible to download your live video streams to your phone's storage, letting you keep them after you've finished broadcasting.
Instagram introduced live video last year and has seen widespread success with the feature. You can start streaming what's around you using the app's built-in camera. Your followers can then tune into your video at any point while you're live. Comments are visible to everyone watching and users can send likes and emoji as you stream.
Currently, the details of the stream are lost when you stop broadcasting. Instagram doesn't retain any information on livestreams so once you tap "End" all evidence of the stream is removed from the app. Friends won't be able to view it and it doesn't show up in the home feed, preventing anyone seeing it – including yourself.
Instagram live video and direct messaging, announced 21/11/2016
As the rest of Instagram's content is sourced from permanent material on your phone, this behaviour is a little incongruous. Instagram today announced it will now let you save livestreams once you're done filming them, letting you keep and watch them long after they've stopped being live. As with any other Instagram content, you'll be able to keep a permanent record on your phone to view again or share with friends who missed the original broadcast.
Livestreams can be saved by tapping the new "Save" button in the upper right corner of the app after you've pressed "End." The video will be added to your camera roll and will show up in your usual file browser or videos app. Tapping "Done" will then close the broadcast screen and delete the stream from the app. If you forget to press "Save" before "Done," there's no way of returning to the page.
"Starting today, you'll have the option to save your live video to your phone at the end of a broadcast," said Instagram. "While live videos will continue to disappear from the app when you're done, this update gives you the flexibility to hold onto your video and re-watch it later, especially if something exciting happens during your broadcast that you want to remember or share."
Instagram reminded users that the feature only saves the raw video content and won't preserve any of the social features overlaid on it in the stream view. Likes, comments and interactions cannot be viewed once a stream ends and there's currently no way to save this data for later reference. It's possible Instagram will make this information available in the future.
The feature addition comes as Instagram places pressure on rival Snapchat. Snapchat has been facing difficulties since filing its IPO early this month. In the past year, its once-rapid growth has stalled dramatically, a change attributed to the launch of new Instagram features.
It's only a minor addition but the ability to save livestreams acts as a "quality of life" improvement for Instagram to keep fending off the threat of Snapchat. It could help to retain regular live video users, likely to be some of the most active people on Instagram.
The ability to save livestreams is available now in the latest version of Instagram for iOS and Android devices. The feature should show up in the Windows 10 version of the app in a few weeks' time. If you're not seeing the button appear in the app, you should manually check for updates and make sure version 10.12 is installed.

Back to school is always a special and exciting time. Why not make a tradition with your kids and have a back to school breakfast (or dinner)! I share some tips on making a simple tablescape display to get your kids in the mood for school!
Over the last several months I purchased some items at the thrift store that worked perfectly with this theme. The apple cookie jar was all of $3 and made for a perfect centerpiece. Green foam (to hold the pennants) and the red pennant banners were added to the cookie jar (the lid is on the table). The globe was painted with chalkboard paint. This was another thrift store find. I found books in my library that had red and black covers (once the book covers were removed). The red apple on the books is actually a plastic timer purchased at Michaels.
This cute apple gift idea is a great way to decorate your dining chairs. When finished eating the kids can take it to school for their teacher! It's a gift tote made with paper plates! Fill with your favorite gift. An easy activity to make with your kids for their new teacher.
We have the free printable "A teacher sharpies your mind and colors your world" for you. Check out this post for the paper plate gift tote and free printable.
Simple place setting made with scrapbook paper (white paper with black polka dots), black with white polka dot napkin, red paper plate and chalkboard name card. The red plate was made to look like an apple with green foam leaves.
You can watch my video of the Michaels Craft Haul.
I want to try this for my kids. A great tradition to do every year.

C.H. Robinson Reaches Stock Purchase Agreement to Acquire Phoenix Intl.
Companies to expand market share and growth opportunities
Minneapolis—Sept. 25, 2012—C.H. Robinson Worldwide Inc. reached a stock purchase agreement to acquire privately-held international freight forwarder Phoenix International Inc., Chicago, for $571.5 million in cash and approximately $63.5 million in newly-issued C.H. Robinson stock.
"Phoenix is a high quality growth company that brings additional expertise and scale to a key part of our long term growth strategy," said John Wiehoff, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, C.H. Robinson. "Along with their proven track record of success, Phoenix has strong customer and carrier relationships, a talented management team and excellent people and a performance-based company culture that is very similar to Robinson's."
"We see significant long-term opportunity in international forwarding as global trade expands, scale and technology continue to become more important, and shippers increasingly look to transportation providers to provide global services," Wiehoff continued. "Together, Robinson and Phoenix will be in a strong competitive position to capitalize on those growth opportunities and continue expanding our market share."
The agreement is subject to certain customary closing conditions, including regulatory approval. Closing of the acquisition is expected to occur in the fourth quarter of 2012. C.H. Robinson, a global multimodal transportation services and logistics solutions provider, will use existing cash and plans to enter into a revolving credit facility with major banks to finance the cash portion of the purchase price. The acquisition is expected to be modestly accretive in the first year.
In its most recently completed fiscal year—as of June 30, 2012—Phoenix generated gross revenues of approximately $807 million, net revenues of approximately $161 million and adjusted operating income of approximately $48 million. The company currently serves approximately 15,000 customers globally and has approximately 2,000 employees, located in 76 offices in 15 countries.
Bill McInerney, Executive Chairman of Phoenix, founded the company in 1979. Following the completion of the acquisition, McInerney plans to retire. Other key executive management will assume management positions with C.H. Robinson. Phoenix Chief Executive Officer Stéphane Rambaud will lead the combined international freight forwarding services of C.H. Robinson and Phoenix.
"It was our top priority to ensure that Phoenix be acquired by an organization that is strongly positioned for success, while sharing similar cultural values of service and performance," said McInerney. "Joining with C.H. Robinson enables Phoenix to offer its customers a broader menu of services, leverage combined volumes more efficiently, and provide employees with even greater career path opportunities. Although I will not be part of the enterprise going forward, I share the enthusiasm for the future that has so excited the Phoenix leadership team and I believe strongly that C.H. Robinson offers exactly the premier global logistics network that was needed."

From rural landscapes to local farmers' markets, cheesehead hats to the Wisconsin license plate, agriculture is vital to Wisconsin's economy and culture. Research from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and UW-Extension finds that Wisconsin's farms and agricultural businesses generate nearly $60 billion in economic activity and employ 353,991 people (10% of the state's total workforce). Wisconsin's farms produce a diverse array of products from dairy to vegetables, raised primarily by family farms. Over half of all Wisconsin's farms are under 100 acres, small-scale farms spanning diverse agroecological zones. An agroecological zone is shaped and defined by such factors as soil type, topography, rainfall, and climate. In recent years, changes in average yearly temperatures, rainfall, and the arrival of new pests and disease to these agroecological zones have required farmers to adapt their farming methods and practices.
Climate change research indicates that Wisconsin's agricultural production systems will be impacted by longer frost-free periods, lower daily maximum temperatures in summer, and more summer precipitation. As a result, plant stresses may actually decrease, leading to higher yields. Interestingly, increases in carbon dioxide, one of the main causes behind global climate change, could also help increase productivity by boosting photosynthesis. However, more spring precipitation can lead to compacted, water-logged soils and thus delays in planting. Moreover, the increased precipitation may fall during more intense rain events, raising field maintenance costs and accelerating loss of soil productivity. Higher humidity and warmer winter temperatures may promote pests and disease, which could lower yields and increase management costs. Increases in temperature, moisture, and carbon dioxide will also encourage more vigorous weed growth. In turn, farmers may use more pesticides to combat these weeds and diseases. Ironically, a major concern is what impact these pesticides may have on native pollinators such as bees and birds, on which many crops depend.
Wisconsin farmers will need to adapt to climate change by being able to cope with uncertain conditions. One innovative strategy that has helped the small family farm adapt to fluctuations from one growing season to the next is the business model of Community Supported Agriculture (CSA). Wisconsin ranks among the top states nationwide in number of CSA farms. With a CSA, members pay in advance of the growing season to help financially support the farm. In return, the farmer delivers weekly shares of food to the members. A typical CSA farm is a small and diverse production system that is more resilient to climate change than larger, monoculture farms that rely on one or two crops. A CSA farmer can rapidly adapt the crops they grow and how they grow them to respond to changes in rainfall, warmer temperatures, and the presence of pests and disease. Moreover, members share in the risks as well as reap the benefits of the CSA, so that farms can survive crop failures resulting from unforeseen conditions. The CSA model is a great example of how we may adapt to climate change as a society: by working together to buffer the impacts of uncertainty.
Ask students to make a map of farms in their county (or nearby counties) and choose one to research. If possible, interview local farmers. What do they grow? What types of management do they use? How have farming practices changed over the past 10–20 years?
Have students research the agricultural practices used by American Indians, European immigrants in the 1800s, and a typical contemporary farm. How have practices changed over time? How do various practices compare to those used at the Old Oak Family Farm? Are there any similarities?
Deconstruct your lunch! Have students do research about where the foods they ate in their lunch that day came from. Read labels of manufactured products to identify the ingredients they contain, and attempt to track the sources of these ingredients (which plant or animal products, geographic locations and companies, if possible). Try to estimate how many miles were traveled to deliver the goods and what the "carbon footprint" might be. Ask the manager of the cafeteria where the school's produce comes from. Is it possible to buy fruits and vegetables locally for the school cafeteria?

In your report you should include a copy (actual or scanned) of your gel photograph suitably labelled. Based on the data in this gel can you match one of the suspects to the sample left at the crime scene? (20 marks) Note that you do not need to include any details of how the experiment was performed.
The DNA profiles in this experiment were compiled from four separate loci (on autosomal chromosomes) with multiple alleles at each locus. The relationship between the bands you observed and these four loci is shown in the figure below.
Question 1 (10 marks): From the above figure list the full genotype of the four suspects. Use the nomenclature A1 for allele 1 at locus A.
Question 2 (10 marks): The table below gives the number of times that each of the alleles present in our suspects are observed in the general population. From this allele frequency table calculate and list the frequency within the general population of each of these alleles. When the frequencies for each allele (at a given locus) are added together they do not reach 1 (100%), why is this?
Question 3 (20 marks): For each of the four suspects calculate the probability that another member of the general population would have the same DNA profile.
Question 4 (10 marks): If Ralph Tribano and Carrie Hoffman were to have a child together list one possible genotype that that child could have. During the investigation it was revealed that Lisa Dieta is actually the daughter of Ray Carlton. List a possible genotype of the mother.
Question 5 (10 marks): The "prosecutor's fallacy" commonly crops up when considering DNA fingerprinting evidence. Consider the following scenario: DNA fingerprinting evidence from a crime scene in the UK indicates that 1 in 10,000 people will match the DNA profile found at the crime scene. For the purposes of this exercise assume that the frequencies of the alleles used do not deviate between different subpopulations of the UK, and that the crime was committed by someone from the UK. On DNA fingerprinting evidence alone what is the approximate probability that a suspect with a matching DNA profile is innocent of the crime? Explain your reasoning in 50 words or less.
Question 6 (20 marks): With the help of diagrams explain in 100 words or less how the extensive polymorphism observed in Variable Number Tandem Repeats (originally used for DNA Fingerprinting analysis) arises.

TPP … I hate acronyms," exclaimed a rather testy and annoyed Saskatchewan Minister of Finance to you his ever faithful, charming and loyal Deputy Minister.
"The Minister of the Economy claims she can't make it to the next Cabinet meeting. Something about an international meeting of trade Ministers at a five star hotel in some remote resort that will take her three days to get to. Tough to take, eh?
"So guess what she wants me to do? She wants me to make the recommendation to Cabinet as to whether Saskatchewan should support the TPP, which I gather means Trans-Pacific Partnership. But fill me in my good Deputy.
Tell me all about why freer trade is important (or is it).
What are the objections to freer trade?
tell me about the other big trade agreements has Canada entered into?
what does it entail from an economic perspective. Should we be concerned about any moral issues associated with the agreement?
Are there many downsides to the agreement?
Why isn't China part of the partnership?
"Then give me the options for Cabinet and the advantages and disadvantages of each – please put them in a table so I can sort them out easily. And, finally give me a firm recommendation. You know I hate it when you get wishy- washy on me. Be sure to back up things with evidence like facts and data. Keep the note pithy.
"Now let me get back to my travel arrangements for the next meeting of provincial Ministers of Finance. I gather we get to go to Jake's Corner which is somewhere in the Yukon that no-one knows or cares about … great … so much fun being a Finance Minister, eh?

Cinema 3D Lets You Watch 3D Movies without the Funky Glasses
View 3D Films in Theatre with Cinema 3D
Movie lovers would soon be able to view 3D films in theatres from any seat, without the need of the 3D glasses, due to support of a new kind of movie screen. This new form of technology is called Cinema 3D, that tends to overwhelms some of the barriers in executing viewing on a greater scale. However, presently it is not commercially practicable, according to the researchers, defining their findings.
While the 3D movies tend to provide exclusive perception and understandings, a major shortcoming is the awkward eye gear that moviegoers usually need to wear. Though the glasses-free 3D policies tend to exist, the technologies presently cannot be mounted up to move theatres. For instance, glasses-free 3D systems for TV sets tend to utilise sequences of slits known as parallax barriers which is positioned in front of the screen and these slits enable each eye to view a different set of pixels that creates the illusion of depth.
But for parallax barriers to function, they should be positioned at a set distance from the viewers which makes parallax barriers complex in implementing in bigger spaces like theatres, where individuals could be seated at various distances and angles away from the screen.
Mirrors & Lenses – Personalized Parallax Barrier
Besides the glasses-free 3D presentations need to account for the various positions from where the people seem to be watching, which would mean that they need to segregate the limited number of pixels they tend to project. Cinema 3D would enable each viewer to see the image from whichever position they seem to be located, according to the researchers.
Co-author of the study, Wojcjech Matusik an associate professor of electrical engineering and computer science at MIT had mentioned in a statement that the existing approaches to glasses-free 3D needs screens where the resolution requirements are so enormous that they are totally impractical.
However in the latest Cinema 3D system, the researchers utilised a sequences of mirrors as well as lenses to basically provide the viewers with a parallax barrier personalized to each of their positions. Study co-author researcher, Piotr Didyk at the Max Planck Institute for Informatics and Saarland University, both in Germany, had informed Live Science that by careful design of optical elements, they could achieve extremely good quality 3D content without the use of glasses.
Cinema 3D First Technical Approach
Matusik had mentioned in a statement that this had been the first technical approach which tolerates for on a large scale. Besides this, the scientists speculated that rather than displaying images to every position in a theatre, they would require displaying images to only a relatively small set of viewing positions at each theatre seat.
Did yk stated that in their solution, they exploited the layout of the audience in a cinema. A simple Cinema 3D model which could assist a 200 pixel image had been developed by the scientists and in trials volunteers could view 3D versions of pixelated figures from a number of various places in a small theatre.
The scientists also warned that the Cinema 3D was presently unreasonable to implement commercially. Their model for instance needs 50 sets of mirrors and lenses though the screen is only barely bigger than a pad of paper. The researchers expect to build a bigger version of their display and further enhance the image resolution.

Home UK Full cost of Trump's controversial UK visit is revealed
Full cost of Trump's controversial UK visit is revealed
Donald Trump's four-day visit to the UK in July cost police almost £18m, the National Police Chiefs' Council (NPCC) has revealed.
Thousands of officers were deployed to cover the presidential visit in what was the largest mobilisation since the London riots of 2011, with Mr Trump travelling to four different force areas over the course of his stay.
Several protests also took place across the country, which required their own policing.
Video: The US president stayed away from where the demonstrations took place
NPCC chair Sara Thornton said: "Nearly every force supported the operation with nearly 10,000 officers deployed from all over the country, performing over 26,000 shifts.
"The full cost of the operation is still being worked out but an early estimate is nearly £18m."
That figure puts the security costs of the trip well above those incurred by either of the royal weddings this year, which required police in Windsor to ask the Home Office for extra money.
Between £2m and £4m is thought to have been spent on security when the Duke and Duchess of Sussex married, and another hefty bill will be wracked up when Princess Eugenie marries her fiance Jack Brooksbank on Friday.
Video: Mr Trump touched down at Stansted for his trip
Ms Thornton said police were in especially "high demand" at the time of the visit of Mr Trump, as it coincided with increased calls linked to the World Cup, hot weather, and numerous events and festivals.
"These demands affected local policing to differing degrees across the country with the host forces most impacted," the senior officer added.
"The majority of forces had to cancel officers' rest days and extend the length of their shifts.
"Despite the challenges, the hard work of officers and staff made sure that the public were kept safe throughout."
Mr Trump was kept busy during his first stay in the UK as president – he held talks with Prime Minister Theresa May and also enjoyed tea with the Queen at Windsor Castle.
He managed to avoid most of the thousands of protesters opposed to his visit, with the demonstrations headlined by the appearance of a huge nappy-clad orange balloon dubbed "Trump baby".
Mayor of London Sadiq Khan gave the all-clear for the blimp to fly after thousands signed a petition and a crowdfunding campaign raised more than £16,000 to get the six-metre inflatable off the ground.
More from Donald Trump
The only protesters who managed to secure an acknowledgement from the president were those who turned up at his golf resort in Scotland on the final day of his visit.
He was still able to enjoy a few rounds at Turnberry before boarding his plane to Helsinki for what would prove to be a controversial summit with Vladimir Putin.

During the past year, Kestrel Corporation has designed and built a low cost Fourier transform hyperspectral imager for deployment in a light aircraft. The instrument is a pushbroom imaging spectrometer employing a Sagnac interferometer. The instrument operates over a range of 350- 1050 nm with 256 spectral channels, and a 13 degree FOV with an 0.8 mrad IFOV. Installed with the optical instrument are attitude sensors, a scene camera, a downwelling sensor and in-flight calibration equipment. This paper will focus on the description of both the optical system and the support equipment used in this revolutionary instrument.

How Did LaRouche Discover the Measure of a Human Economy?
December 13, 2021 · Brian Lantz · 1 reaction
Brian Lantz takes you back to the early 1970's as Lyndon LaRouche put his ideas of the anti-entropic development in the universe into practice. LaRouche recruited a movement to combat the economic suicide initiated by Richard Nixon, whose 1971 actions, let the Globalists take control of our nation credit.

Having had the opportunity to go to the Tennessee Valley region recently, my husband and I experienced first-hand what we had learned from Lyndon LaRouche's own personal life observations of the extraordinary accomplishments of the WWII generation. No matter how many books you read or videos you view, the virtual miracle of the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) can only be fully appreciated by seeing the structures, built nearly a century ago, for yourself.
Republic or Totalitarianism—What is True Freedom?
December 07, 2021 · Michael Steger · 1 reaction
The enemy wants to control you and your behavior. They may even control the concept of what you call freedom. From using paper straws, wearing masks, and taking jabs, to flipping houses, betting the markets, and buying bitcoin, the object is one of control. These mandates now threaten totalitarian control of basic rights and economic activity, including energy consumption, medical treatment, and family sovereignty.
What Did The Young Lyndon LaRouche Discover?
December 06, 2021 · Brian Lantz · 3 reactions
A young man returning from World War II took it upon himself to debunk a new set of ideas being spread in post WWII American intellectual circles: cybernetics, information theory and artificial intelligence. The young man's name was Lyndon H LaRouche. He already recognized such 'ideas' as not only wrong, but evil.
The Strategy for Total Victory
November 30, 2021 · Michael Steger · 2 reactions
For too long, people ignored a globalist enemy that intends to destroy their family, productive employment, nation, religion, and even civilization itself. That is no longer the story, and Americans are mobilized as never before. The totalitarian response to covid has exposed a mass cult formation akin to Jonestown on a global scale. With programs that shut down our baseload power supply, end manufacturing, print endless money, ration healthcare, and push endless wars, this global regime, like the Nazis, must be forced into unconditional surrender. To break this cult formation, and restore a viable Constitutional government, join us for a discussion on grand strategy and the road to victory.
In the Wake of Rittenhouse, Change the Entire Playing Field
The Biden collective's game plan could not be clearer. Recouple the United States to today's global empire, which metastasized into its current form after the 2008 collapse. The population is to be controlled by reducing it to warring tribes, as has been done in all the Empire's colonial properties. No tribe is to have the gifts of scientific knowledge and advanced technologies, by which they can free themselves and by which they can build a future for themselves and their posterity.

Build Back Better Tries Using NASA as a Carbon Snitch

Following her recently published article, "Treason in High Places: Build Back Better Will Destroy NASA", Kesha issues the following update, taking the gloves off on the Biden administration's fascist agenda, further identifying the outright sabotage being ran against NASA's Human Lunar Landing Mission, and Artemis program outlined under President Trump, and the Biden administration's push to turn the agency into an extension of the global surveillance state, and carry out the agenda of the COP26, radical environmentalist, build back better, green new deal dictates. She also exposes the fraud of the recently released 73 page NASA OIG report, which targets the timeline of the Artemis lunar landing missions, as technically unfeasible. Kesha presents the solutions to this threat in the context of the need for a renewed national mission to push the frontiers of science and exploration, and a economic development plan, as was earlier outlined in the programs of Lyndon LaRouche in his Mars Colonization program.
We Will Overthrow This Regime ... Then What?
The American Revolution against the globalist British Empire was successful and enduring because a leading cadre of Patriots knew the answer to that question. As this systemic crisis becomes more profound, the solutions are also becoming more apparent—if you know where to look. We will define the crisis, and its underlying cause—and then lay out clear steps to establish a new American Constitutional government, one of, by, and for the people.
