A ½" Chrome Reflective H-Bar divider is used in between each mirror panel to prevent each panel from touching and cracking the other when mounted on the wall.
This method is a bit more affordable being that less labor is involved.
This only works if the mirrors are 8ft in height or lower since the h-bar only comes in 8ft of length.
The mirrors are installed using a chrome j-channel at the bottom. The j-channel gets screwed onto the wall for the mirror to slide in. The mirrors are also glued about every square foot for added security.
Each mirror panel gets machine polished on all sides. The polishing will prevent each panel from cracking when mounted next to another panel.
This method serves the same purpose as the above but it's a bit more costly due to the time and labor required to prepare each panel.
Gym Mirrors or Dance Mirrors are essential to any Dance Studio, as dancers will need to visualize proper form.
A large wall mirror compliments any fitness room. It's a great addition to your Home Gym. These days more and more people are turning that extra space or basement into a workout room, so adding a large wall mirror gives it that finishing touch.
Home Gyms will mostly likely require smaller mirror panels because of staircases or limited space. We normally use 6'hx 4'w mirror panels to make sure they fit down stairwell.
Two Fitness Studio Mirrors 72" x 100" each. Mirrors installed at a Senior Living housing.
Three Gym Mirrors 72" x 72" each. Installed in basement of a New York City Building.

Brad Paisley and wife opening free grocery store in Tennessee
Country singer Brad Paisley and his actress wife Kimberly Williams-Paisley are teaming up with officials at Belmont University to open a free grocery store in Tennessee.
The Store will be set up as a modern food pantry in Nashville and the Whiskey Lullaby hitmaker will serve as president of the venture's board of trustees.
"This is a grocery store with dignity for people who have fallen on hard times," Brad says. "All of us are one unforeseen disaster away from rock bottom. It's nice to think about a place where, when that happens to someone, they can use it to get back on their feet."
Paisley explains he and his wife were inspired to open The Store after volunteering at the Unity Shoppe in Santa Barbara, California with their Children for America's Thanksgiving holiday.
"It was inspiring because these people have dignity," Brad continues. "It's not a scene from Oliver Twist. These people are able to sit there and feel very, very normal in the eyes of their kids. I remember… thinking, 'Why isn't this everywhere?' Essentially, we got this idea that it could be a very effective thing in Nashville."
"So many people are making great choices in their lives," Kimberly adds. "It's not like they've made major mistakes, they just need a little extra help and we want to be a resource for those people."
In addition to food, The Store will also feature a toy aisle ahead of the Christmas holiday and bosses will provide on-the-job training for the store's patrons.

Cote d'Ivoire : Nine Hills to Nambonkaha: Two Years in the Heart of an African Village
Nine Hills to Nambonkaha: Two Years in the Heart of an African Village
More by user: esmith
Created: 23rd Jul 2008
Modified: 23rd Jul 2008
Sarah Erdman
Erdman, who now works for the Peace Corps in Washington, D.C., spent two years in Nambonkaha, a northern Ivory Coast village, starting in 1998. As a culturally sensitive community development volunteer it took her time finding her place in a culture so outside her own. She started working on maternal and child health by introducing the regular weighing of babies, as a means of monitoring malnutrition and as a way of opening the door to essential health-care. Without funds or equipment, she only has access to rudimentary first aid: cleaning and bandaging wounds, cooling down a fever or recognizing malaria and going to the nurse for pills. By the end of Erdman's stay, with the support of the village, she'd moved on, to birth control and AIDS prevention education. Erdman focuses on the story behind the story: how she learned local ways, how she gained the confidence and friendship of assorted villagers and even how she felt helpless in dealing with issues, like female genital mutilation. In the end, she understands the village world view so well, she can imagine better ways to deal with certain issues. This is an engrossing, well-told tale certain to appeal to armchair travelers and to anyone-especially women-considering international volunteer work.

The Swiss group, Maus Frères has recently officialized its acquisition of the rock-chic brand The Kooples. The retail holding company has also made other investments in the fashion industry in the past, including Aigle, Gant and Lacoste.
This acquisition reveals the strategic direction of the group: creating a portfolio of premium luxury brands. But why The Kooples in particular? Using RETVIEWS, we explore the brand's offering to understand the reasons behind this buyout.
THE DNA REVEALED IN GENDER'S OFFERING
When we think about The Kooples, we think about street rock-chic apparel for men and women. The main idea behind their collections is to create a harmony between the male and female wardrobes with an almost androgenic feel to them.
While the majority of the fashion brands focus on female apparel, The Kooples breaks the norm, allowing women to dress like men and vice-versa. The chart below reveals The Kooples' DNA, which is providing clothing to both genders.
When looking at the Maus Frères group brands, the gender strategy is clear. Lacoste, Gant and Aigle have one thing in common: they are known to be brands focused on men clothing. The Kooples differentiates itself from other premium luxury brands such as Sézane, Sandro and Zadig&Voltaire with almost proportional offering for both genders. With The Kooples acquisition, Maus group enters the womenswear and at the same time, stays in line with the other men-focused brands of the portfolio.
A ROCK-CHIC STYLE REFLECTED IN COLOURS
The brand's unique style inspired both by Paris and London is one of the most important factors that created this enthusiasm around The Kooples. The cool Parisian look can be achieved in a new way with The Kooples: slim, rock-star tailoring, gothic patterns and dark colours. Statement pieces consist primarily of biker jackets, sharp suits and trendy bags, all pretty much using darker shades.
"A lot of English people thought it was Parisian and the French thought it was from London."
Laurent Elicha, Co-founder, The Kooples
As observable on the colours palettes below, black and grey colours represent 50% of their collection compared to approximatively 35% for more classic brands such as Maje and Sandro. By The Kooples acquisition, Maus group completes its offering made of classic brands with a young, urban and rock brand.
THE PREMIUM LUXURY POSITIONING ILLUSTRATED BY BAGS
The Kooples belongs to the fast-growing segment of premium luxury brands. Using RETVIEWS benchmark solution, we took a closer look at the brand's price positioning. The bags product category is an excellent example to show that The Kooples targets a precise segment of customers. Most of their bag's pricing is concentrated between €300 and 449.99€ with 398€ as the most widely used price. On the other hand, Zadig&Voltaire offers a broader price range from 225€ to 1.295€. Maus Frères's vision to build a premium luxury fashion group is confirmed with The Kooples as a new brand held by the Swiss company.
CREATING BEST-SELLERS WITH CELEBRITIES COLLABS
To boost their visibility, The Kooples based part of its marketing success on collaborations with celebrities. For the past two years, the brand launched exclusive creations with models, singers and influencers to create brand ambassadors who make The Kooples shine around the world.
Icons such as Irina Shayk, Stella Maxwell and Slick Woods gave their names to create accessories that became best-sellers.
But are these collabs selling well? In order to identify best-sellers, RETVIEWS is able to track two crucial things: the daily price and the number of SKU's available. By combining these two pieces of information, we are able to reveal the best-sellers of any fashion brand's offering.
Let's take a closer look at Irina's Nano Red Crocodile bag. It was out-of-stock many times but always replenished at the exact same price. These are clear signs of a best-seller. The Irina's bag is not an exception, we looked at the data for all collabs with celebrities, and the majority of them became The Kooples' best-sellers. With this tactic, the brand is thus able to expand its exposure globally and make good sales volumes.

A story can capture a person's attention in ways that an ad never could. That's because storytelling invokes an emotional response that makes consumers more likely to listen, act, and share on social media. As a result, more and more brands are using the art of storytelling to get ahead in business. PRDaily.com shared eight savvy strategies to help brands craft compelling stories that will make people follow and share.
Before a brand can tell a story, it must know the public perception of the company in order to properly evolve. Everything changes over time, including a company's personality and voice. The only way for a brand to determine how to move forward is by knowing where it began.
A brand needs to make sure that the marketing content shared reflects its core values, viewpoints, and voice. This will allow the brand to convey its many attributes in a compelling and meaningful way.
Be aware of what the brand wants to accomplish by telling a story, whether it's to strengthen the brand image to current customers or attract new prospects. After all, the most effective stories convert followers into leads and long-term customers.
Rather than market a message to a mass audience, it's smarter to share a story with a smaller number of the right people, at the right time. Do research to identify the audience that the brand will relate to the best and then strive to connect with those people.
The goal is for the brand's story to resonate on such an emotional level that the audience is inspired to share it. To achieve this, a brand should start thinking like its target customer and consider what they'd want to hear and what would make them share it with others.
A simple way for a brand to increase the sharing of its story is to focus more on the customer than the brand. Show prospects how the brand has enhanced the lives of its followers and customers and include user-generated content to have current customers help to attract prospects.
Storytelling via video on social media platforms can lead to huge engagement. One effective way to humanize the brand is by sharing behind-the-scenes video footage of the brand.
Consumers are savvy and can tell when a brand isn't being authentic and open. That's why it's essential for brands to remain real and honest if they want their stories to be heard and shared.

Five-Time Olympian Tony Azevedo Announces Retirement
Photo Courtesy: Jeffrey Swinger-USA TODAY Sports
by James Sica
Huntington Beach, CA – May 13 – Five-time Olympian Tony Azevedo (Long Beach, CA/Stanford/NYAC) will play his final game for Team USA on June 11 at Stanford University at 3:30pm when the United States meets Croatia. Azevedo called Stanford's Avery Aquatic Center home during his decorated collegiate career that saw four consecutive Cutino Award honors and two NCAA championships. It will be a fitting venue to send-off the longtime Team USA captain and 2008 Olympic silver medalist who is retiring from international competition. The match is part of a four-game series between Team USA and Croatia taking place June 9-14 in California.
Azevedo offered his thoughts on his retirement and the match on June 11:
"It's crazy to think that after playing water polo for 27 years I am finally finished. I have often been asked how long I could go and my answer was the same: 'When the time comes I will know.' I still love this sport and will never leave the water polo community. But I'm ready to shift my focus from playing to working outside the pool to grow and innovate the sport in general. I am starting programs that I hope will take water polo to the next level. One thing I'll miss most from my years as a player will be the team camaraderie. There is nothing better than the bonds and trust I've built with my various teammates.
I couldn't be more excited to play my last game at Stanford, because during my four years at the University I was molded into the person/player I am today. I met my wife at Stanford, won four Cutino awards as a student, and made best friends for life on campus. To officially retire at Stanford is a dream scenario: with my Team USA boys, in front of USA fans, and playing against Croatia (I lived in Croatia for three years and my son was born there).
So, on June 11th I will walk away (for good I promise) from playing the game I love. It will be emotional because many of the USA fans watching have stuck with me over the years. They've traveled long distances to cheer me on at the Olympics, sometimes even dressing up as Tony Avocado, Tony 'Bologny', or wearing shirts with my name. Their support has been amazing.
Thank you everyone for your support year after year, and know that I am still dedicated to the sport we all love!"
"It's hard to express the value and impact Tony has made on the sport of water polo. He has given us so many wonderful moments, performances and championships. It's hard to imagine him not being in the USA lineup. Simply put, he is the best player to ever put on a USA or Stanford water polo cap. Having number 8 return to Stanford to play his last game just feels right," said John Vargas, Stanford University Men's Water Polo Head Coach and 2000 USA Men's Olympic Team Head Coach.
Azevedo's career leaves him as arguably the greatest men's water polo player in USA Water Polo history. The all-time leading scorer in FINA World Championship history, Azevedo racked up five Pan-American Games gold medals, two FINA World League Super Final silver medals and was named Pac-12 Conference Men's Water Polo Player of the Century. After his time at Stanford Azevedo embarked on a professional water polo career that saw him play with some of the top clubs in the world including: CAN Bissolati (Italy), J.K. Primorac (Montenegro), VK Jug Dubrovnik (Croatia), Fluminense (Brazil) and most recently Sesi (Brazil). Domestically he's been an anchor for the New York Athletic Club, helping the team to multiple National Championships.
The match-up against Croatia, 2012 Olympic champions, will be the second contest in the four-game set. The action begins on June 9 at the Riverside Aquatics Complex at Riverside City College at 7pm, as a kick-off to the 2017 USA Water Polo Masters National Championship. Following the game at Stanford, the two teams return to Southern California for a meeting at Oaks Christian School in Thousand Oaks, CA on June 13 at 7pm. The series wraps the following night at Long Beach State in Long Beach, CA on June 14 at 7pm.
In addition to the match at Stanford, Azevedo will also be hosting a clinic alongside Team USA Head Coach Dejan Udovicic from12pm-1:30pm. Registration for this clinic is available at the ticket purchase link.
Tickets for all games are on sale now. To purchase tickets for the Tony Azevedo Retirement Game at Stanford University click here. To purchase tickets for any of the three Southern California games, please click here.
The four-game series serves a warm-up for the FINA World League Super Final taking place June 20-25 in Moscow, Russia. USA and Croatia will meet again to open competition at the FINA World Championship this July 17 in Budapest, Hungary.

How do I neutralize 1.2 % muriatic acid (134.4 liters) residue with 99 % caustic soda flakes?
I cleaned my commercial water purification system with muriatic acid but I overdid it. Now there is excess muriatic acid residue. I used 6 liters of 29 % muriatic acid and further reduced with 33.6 gallons (134.4 liters) water as solvent at 1.2 % concentration of muriatic hcl.I believe the mole for the solution is 3.29 moles, is that right?
I have 99 % caustic soda flakes that I can use to neutralize muriatic acid residue. How do I go about it? How do I mix caustic soda at the right amount to neutralize the muriatic acid residue?

Avoid Should To Carrying Work Women Birkins Epic co-founder David Cole says its small downtown shop was "just about all the sales we did" at first. Its 2008 launch did so well, in fact, that Cole claims other Type 5 agencies tried to broker a ban on Sundays and holidays, its main days for moving complex 12 oz. cans (like a sour IPA and solid Mexican-style lager) and a more sought-after Exponential Series of bold imperial stouts and fruity Belgians.
Women To Work Should Avoid Birkins Carrying While the state ultimately ruled against a Sunday shutdown – Epic's open from 11 till 7 in case you're looking for the latest limited Big Bad Baptist release – the damage was already done. As Epic's commercial success continued to grow, Cole says they "decided to not invest anymore money in a state where someone can pay a lobbyist to get the Church's ear and direct [a bill] right at us."
Birkins Women Carrying Should To Avoid Work "While some of the [press] about Utah's liquor laws is overblown," adds Duncan, "the legislature seems to take a step or two forward in some ways, then a step back. Like how they dropped the 'Zion Curtain', only to replace it with the 'Zion Moat'. In some ways, it's better, but it really messes with a lot of places and makes running a business even harder."

Urgent Appeal on the Occupation of Mosul and Cities of Western Iraq
June 20, 2014 by MHI International News
On the Occupation of Mosul and the Cities of Western Iraq
by Yanar Mohammed of the Organization of Women's Freedom in Iraq (OWFI)
The Iraqi society is suffering unprecedented crisis that threatens the future of peaceful co-existence of citizens, and augments genocides and civil conflicts based on the sectarian identities that were established on the Iraqi population, and were strengthened throughout more than a decade of the American occupation to Iraq.
Mosul City has fallen along with Tikrit, and previously Fallujah, under the control of considerably small troops of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS). The war continues in other cities like Tel Afar, Samaraa, and the cities of the western region. If the occupiers' mission succeeds, a large part of the Iraqi society would be ruled by a brutal Islamic state that does not fit in our modern world whatsoever; a state which sees an enemy in every human being who needs to be "disciplined" through humiliation, beating, and killing until he/she becomes good enough to fit within the extreme religious "set of morals." This is a state that easily kills "apostates" and commits genocides against the religious and political opponents, a state that regards women merely as packages of flesh ready for the entertainment of the Mujahideen. Many Fatwas come out to ensure women's humiliation under being "gifted" for the new Caliphate-age rapists, under the legislation of the so-called "Jihad Al Nikah." In spite of all these atrocities, a number of the residents of the fallen cities joined them as a reaction to eight years of systemic sectarian subjugation under prime minister Nouri Al Maliki's rule.
The American occupation's policies resulted in the empowerment of the Shia Political Islam and gave them the upper hand in Iraq in the orchestrated Democracy. The US administration continues to deny the knowledge that their favourite political religious group would persecute other religions and sectarian divisions, once they are in power, and that it was only a matter of time before it takes place. It is very disturbing when the American media illustrates an image of Iraqis as "sectarian groups in conflict since the beginning of time." This media denies the role of the US Administration in planning for a political divide on basis of religions, sectarian divisions, and ethnicities; in fact, the US Administration adopted religious and ethnic representation since 2003, which could only fuel a full scale sectarian conflict. The sectarian civil which we witness today, is just the normal result of the US strategic plan to divide the Iraqis on sectarian and ethnic lines.
The human beasts of ISIS escorted hundreds of Iraqi soldiers to isolated sites and committed horrifying genocides against them, demonstrating lack of any humanity while performing genocide under the name of so-called "Jihad." They knocked at doors of civilians' houses in Dendan, Wihda, and Zuhur residential areas in Mosul city, and captured 18 unmarried young women, to be raped by ISIS warlords under the sway of the so-called "Nikah el Jihad" [Jihad intercourse], which resulted in four female victims committing suicide, in addition to one male who was a brother of one of the victims who committed suicide because he was unable to protect his sister and prevent those ISIS fighters from raping her. Unsatisfied with the crimes they have already committed, ISIS warriors performed punishment of cutting-off hands and flogging everyone who pronounced the name of ISIS with no grandiloquence. All these practices reflect a mix of brutality of Baath regime, a primitive chauvinist tendency to humiliate and practice religious superiority.
While the Iraqi society is striving to absorb the shock of their government's failure, millions of Iraqi young men are driven to volunteer to fight the brutal and inhuman ISIS without any military training whatsoever, in battlefields which are financed by neighboring countries who are placing their bets on their representatives in Iraq. Meanwhile, Al Maliki government chants for nationalist patriotic rhetoric in order to push the youth of Iraq into deadly battles, in order to defend their corrupt and sectarian state and agenda. And the day has come when the Iraqi people have to pay the price for the farce of the "democratic" political process in Iraq.
The American administration is overlooking the catastrophic situations of millions of people in Iraq who lost their livelihood, well-being and security because of the poisonous sectarian politics brought forward by the US occupation. And meanwhile, Mr. Barack Obama comforts his citizens that the "Oil exports from Iraq will be stable."
OWFI declares its solidarity with the civilians and residents of the Iraqi occupied cities, and calls upon the freedom-loving Iraqis to organize their popular committees, and to defend themselves and women from assaults committed by ISIS. OWFI will seek alternatives to open new shelters to protect female victims from these human beasts. OWFI calls upon all international organizations and decision makers to take necessary political and diplomatic steps to intervene and stop the disaster of a full-scale sectarian conflict that jeopardizes lives of millions of people and would last until all civilized aspects in Iraq are demolished.
Al Maliki's government, which is the main source of sectarian division and resulting conflict has to leave its position. The people of Iraq will no longer allow such criminal political parties to trample on our fates and lives.
Long live the people and women of Mosul, Tikrit, Fallujah, and Tel Afar, free and proud.
Down with the terrorist ISIS, the creation of the criminal Qaeda and dreadful occupation.

Organization of Women's Freedom in Iraq
Appeal for Funds through One Billion Rising
One Billion Rising has set up a Rising Fund to benefit women on the ground immediately. 100% of donations will go directly to these efforts via the Organization of Women's Freedom Iraq. Please consider donating whatever you can – everything and anything will help. All funds will go to the current efforts of OWFI for the following:
Setting up a new house in the city of Karbala where a huge displaced population is, where the women who lost their families are vulnerable to the worst of situations.
In Samarra which gets sieged every other day by ISIS, they are supporting widows families with food provisions, and OWFI continues provide shelter and support to the vulnerable.
For Mosul, which is the worst zone, (presumed the capital of the ISIS), OWFI are seeking to contact their supporters to reach out to the women vulnerable to "Jihad Al Nikah." They are finding ways to provide safe shelter and to explain to the women that forced rape should not be the end of their life.

With the global economy going through a tough economic time, countries are competing against each other to attract businesses and tourists. Let's take a look at 30 most competitive nations in the world, according to the Global Competitiveness Report 2012-2013.
Switzerland retains its first place position again this year as a result of its continuing strong performance across the board. The country's most notable strengths are related to innovation and labour market efficiency, where it tops the GCI rankings, as well as the sophistication of its business sector, which is ranked second.
Image: A giant helium-inflated soccer ball flies over the jet d'eau, or water fountain, at the Lac Leman in Geneva, Switzerland.
Singapore retains its place at second position as a result of an outstanding performance across the entire Index. The country features in the top three in seven of the 12 categories of the Index and appears in the top 10 of three others.
Its public and private institutions are rated as the best in the world for the fifth year in a row. It also ranks first for the efficiency of its goods and labour markets, and places second in terms of financial market development.
Image: A view of Singapore's Financial District.
Finland moves up one place since last year to reach third position on the back of small improvements in a number of areas. Similar to other countries in the region, the country boasts well-functioning and highly transparent public institutions (second), topping several indicators included in this category.
Its private institutions, ranked third overall, are also seen to be among the best run and most ethical in the world.
Image: Visitors walk down the main street at Moomin World theme park in Naatali, Finland.
Sweden, overtaken by Finland, falls one place to fourth position. Like Switzerland, the country has been placing significant emphasis on creating the conditions for innovation-led growth. The quality of its public institutions remains first-rate, with a very high degree of efficiency, trust, and transparency. Private institutions also receive excellent marks, with firms that demonstrate excellent ethical behaviour.
Nevertheless, there was a slight but consistent deterioration in the country's institutional framework over the past three years.
Image: A view of Stockholm, Sweden.
The Netherlands continues to progress in the rankings, moving up to fifth place this year. The improvement reflects a continued strengthening of its innovative capacity as well as the heightened efficiency and stability of its financial markets.
Overall, Dutch businesses are highly sophisticated (fourth) and innovative (ninth), and the country is rapidly and aggressively harnessing new technologies for productivity improvements (ninth).
Image: Cyclists visit a Dutch tulip field in Noordwijk, the Netherlands.
Germany maintains its position at sixth place this year. The country is ranked an excellent third for the quality of its infrastructure, boasting in particular firstrate facilities across all modes of transport. The goods market is quite efficient, characterized by intense local competition (eighth) and low market dominance by large companies (second).
Germany's business sector is very sophisticated, especially when it comes to production processes and distribution channels, and German companies are among the most innovative in the world.

The United States continues the decline that began a few years ago, falling two more positions to take seventh place this year. Although many structural features continue to make its economy extremely productive, a number of escalating and unaddressed weaknesses have lowered the US ranking in recent years.
US companies are highly sophisticated and innovative, supported by an excellent university system that collaborates admirably with the business sector in R&D.
Image: Harbor Freeway in downtown Los Angeles, United States.
The United Kingdom continues to make up lost ground in the rankings this year, rising by two more places and now settling firmly back in the top 10. The country improves its performance in several areas, benefitting from clear strengths such as the efficiency of its labour market (fifth), in sharp contrast to the rigidity of those of many other European countries.
Image: Houses of Parliament in central London, United Kingdom.
As the second-placed Asian economy behind Singapore (second), Hong Kong SAR rises to ninth position while slightly improving its score. The territory's consistently good performance is reflected in very good showing across most of the areas covered by the GCI.
As in previous years, Hong Kong tops the infrastructure pillar, reflecting the outstanding quality of its facilities across all modes of transportation and its telephony and electricity infrastructure.
Image: Disney characters perform in front of the Sleeping Beauty Castle in Hong Kong.
Japan falls one place to rank 10th this year, with a performance similar to that of last year. The country continues to enjoy a major competitive edge in business sophistication and innovation, ranking first and fifth, respectively, in these two pillars.
Company spending on R&D remains high (second) and Japan benefits from the availability of many scientists and engineers buttressing a strong capacity for innovation.

Qatar reaffirms once again its position as the most competitive economy in the region by moving up three places to 11th position, sustained by improvements in its macroeconomic environment, the efficiency of its markets for goods and services, and its institutional framework.
Its strong performance in terms of competitiveness rests on solid foundations made up of a high-quality institutional framework, a stable macroeconomic environment (second), and an efficient goods market (10th).
Image: A view of Doha in Qatar.
Denmark loses four positions this year, placing 12th, with a weakening in the assessments of its institutions and financial markets. Similar to its Nordic neighbors, the country benefits from one of the best functioning and most transparent institutional frameworks in the world (14th), although there has been some decline in this area since last year.

Taiwan maintains its 13th position for the third year in a row. Its competitiveness profile is essentially unchanged and consistently strong.
Notable strengths include its highly efficient markets for goods, where the economy ranks eighth; its solid educational performance (ninth); and its sophisticated business sector (13th), which is inclined to innovate (14th).

Canada falls two positions to 14th place in this year's rankings. Although Canada continues to benefit from highly efficient markets (with its goods, labour, and financial markets ranked 13th, 4th, and 11th, respectively), well-functioning and transparent institutions (11tht), and excellent infrastructure (13th), it is being dragged down by a less favourable assessment of the quality of its research institutions and the government's role in promoting innovation through procurement practices.

Norway is ranked 15th this year, up by one place and showing progress in a number of areas. Specifically, the country features a notable improvement in its innovative capacity (up from 20th to 15th place), driven by improved R&D spending by business, a better collaboration between the business sector and academia, and increased government procurement of advanced technological products.

Austria is ranked 16th this year, up three places since last year, with small improvements across a number of areas. The country benefits from excellent infrastructure (15th) and registers improvements in its innovation capacity (up three places from last year) on the back of resilient R&D spending and improvements in the business sophistication pillar (up one place for business sophistication).

Saudi Arabia maintains the second-best place in the region and falls by one position from 17th to 18th position overall. The country has seen a number of improvements to its competitiveness in recent years that have resulted in a solid institutional framework, efficient markets, and sophisticated businesses.
Higher macroeconomic stability (sixth) and more prevalent use of ICT for productivity improvements contribute to maintaining Saudi Arabia's strong position in the GCI.

After losing four positions to faster-improving economies last year, Australia retains its rank of 20th and score of 5.1, just behind South Korea. Among the country's most notable advantages is its efficient and well-developed financial system (eighth), supported by a banking sector that counts as among the most stable and sound in the world, ranked fifth.
The country earns very good marks in education, placing 15th in primary education and 11th in higher education and training.

The United Arab Emirates gains three places in the GCI to take the 24th position. The improvement reflects a better institutional framework as well as greater macroeconomic stability.
Higher oil prices buoyed the budget surplus and allowed the country to reduce public debt and raise the savings rate.
Image: A view of Burj Khalifa from Al Qasr Hotel in the Old Town in downtown Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
Following improvements in last year's Report, Malaysia maintains its score but drops four places as other economies move ahead.
The most notable advantages are found in Malaysia's efficient and competitive market for goods and services (11th) and its remarkably supportive financial sector (sixth), as well as its business-friendly institutional framework.
Image: A view of Bukit Bintang shopping district in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Israel falls by four places to 26th in this year's GCI, reversing its upward trend of previous years. The country's main strengths remain its world-class capacity for innovation (third), which rests on highly innovative businesses that benefit from the presence of the world's best research institutions geared toward the needs of the business sector.

Ireland moves up by two positions to 27th place this year after falling in recent editions of the Report. The country continues to benefit from a number of strengths, including its excellent health and primary education (12th) and strong higher education and training (20th), along with its well-functioning goods and labor markets, ranked 9th and 16th, respectively.

The income Gini index measures the extent to which the distribution of income among individuals or households within an economy deviates from a perfectly equal distribution.
Theoretically, it measures inequality within a range of 0 to 100, where a value of 0 represents perfect equality (everyone has the same income) and a value of 100 perfect inequality (for example, one person or household could earn all the income).
Image: A water taxi passes the Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddien Mosque in Bandar Seri Begawan, Brunei.
China (29th) loses some ground in this year's edition of the Report. After five years of incremental but steady progression, it has now returned to its 2009 level.
The country continues to lead the BRICS economies by a wide margin. Although China's decline is small - its overall score barely changes - it affects the rankings of every pillar of the GCI except market size.

Iceland maintains its place at 30th position this year. Despite difficulties in recent years, Iceland continues to benefit from a number of clear competitive strengths in moving to a more sustainable economic situation.
These include the country's top-notch educational system at all levels (sixth and 13th in the health and primary education and higher education and training pillars, respectively) coupled with an innovative business sector (20th) that is highly adept at adopting new technologies for productivity enhancements (eighth).

Pierce Brosnan Marks Seventh Anniversary of Daughter Charlotte's Death in Emotional Tribute Post
By Allison Schonter - June 30, 2020 07:59 am EDT
Pierce Brosnan is paying tribute to his late daughter Charlotte. On Sunday, the former James Bond leading man took to Instagram to mark the seventh anniversary of Charlotte's death, sharing a photo of himself at his Hawaiian home that was taken by wife Keely Shaye Smith. Also wishing his granddaughter Marley May a happy birthday, Brosnan quoted a line from the 1942 film Casablanca, writing, "Here's looking at you kid… in remembrance of Charlotte and with happy birthday wishes for my darling Marley May."
A post shared by Pierce Brosnan (@piercebrosnanofficial) on Jun 28, 2020 at 6:36pm PDT
Brosnan's post was met with an outpouring of support. Responding, one person wrote that Brosnan's post was a "lovely tribute" to his daughter, while another fan said that "Charlotte's memory always be a blessing." A third person wrote that they were "so sorry" for the actor's loss. Another person said that they were "sending you peace in remembrance of Charlotte."
On June 28, 2013, Charlotte, who was just 42, died after a battle with ovarian cancer, the same disease her mother and Brosnan's first wife, Cassandra Harris, died from in 1991, according to the Independent. Brosnan adopted Charlotte when he and Harris married in 1980. Charlotte is survived by her husband and two children. In a statement to PEOPLE at the time, Brosnan said that Charlotte "fought her cancer with grace and humanity, courage and dignity" and added that "our hearts are heavy with the loss of our beautiful dear girl."
Speaking at the Stand Up To Cancer telethon in 2014, just a year after his daughter's death, Brosnan had opened up about both of their losses, stating that "to watch someone you love have his or her life eaten away bit by bit by this insidious disease, that kind of sorrow becomes an indelible part of your psyche."
"I held the generous, strong, beautiful hand of my first wife Cassie as ovarian cancer took her life much too soon," he continued. "And just last year, I held the hand of my funny, wonderful daughter Charlotte before she too died from this wretched, inherited disease."
While promoting his AMC series The Son in 2017, Brosnan again opened up about the double tragedies, telling Esquire that he is no longer one to "look at the cup as half full." He said that "the dark, melancholy Irish black dog sits beside me from time to time."

Q: How to parse &str with named parameters? I am trying to find the best way to parse a &str and extract out the COMMAND_TYPE and named parameters. The named parameters can be anything.
Here is the proposed string (it can be changed).
COMMAND_TYPE(param1:2222,param2:"the quick \"brown\" fox, blah,", param3:true)

I have been trying a few ways to extract the COMMAND_TYPE, which seems fairly simple:
pub fn parse_command(command: &str) -> Option<String> {
    let mut matched = String::new();
    let mut chars = command.chars();

    while let Some(next) = chars.next() {
        if next != '(' {
            matched.push(next);
        } else {
            break;
        }
    }
    if matched.is_empty() {
        None
    } else {
        Some(matched)
    }
}

Extracting the parameters from within the brackets seems straightforward to:
pub fn parse_params(command: &str) -> Option<&str> {
    let start = command.find("(");
    let end = command.rfind(")");

    if start.is_some() && end.is_some() {
        Some(&command[start.unwrap() + 1..end.unwrap()])
    } else {
        None
    }
}

I have been looking at the nom crate and that seems fairly powerful (and complicated), so I am not sure if I really need to use it.
How do I extract the named parameters in between the brackets into a HashMap?

A: Your code seems to work for extracting the command and the full parameter list. If you don't need to parse something more complex than that, you can probably avoid using nom as a dependency.
But you will probably have problems if you want to parse individually each parameters : your format seems broken. In your example, there is no escape caracters neither for double quote nor comma. param2 just can't be extracted cleanly.

Motorola V66 review: Motorola V66
CNET Reviews staff
The Good Compact; crisp display; zoom-in feature; voice recorder; GPRS ready; world phone.
The Bad Little earpiece; recessed keyboard; battery life could be better.
The Bottom Line This small flip phone has its share of high-end features, but its size could be its Achilles' heel.
Motorola V66
At first glance, the small size of the Motorola V66 phone is appealing, as are many of its features, such as a voice recorder and high-speed wireless data-access capabilities. But after spending a few days with it, anyone with even moderately sized fingers will quickly tire of having to stop everything they're doing in order to dial a number. Measuring 3.3 by 1.7 by 0.8 inches and weighing just 2.8 ounces, the V66 is smaller than the company's popular V60 series. In fact, the phone is almost compact enough to be hidden in a fist, and it fits comfortably in the pocket of your pants or suit. The five-line LCD is crisp and clear, especially when backlit. If you prefer bigger lettering, you can enlarge the text through the phone's zoom-in feature, which limits the display to two easy-to-read lines.
The V66's minimal size, however, forced Motorola to sacrifice a large measure of usability. For instance, it takes a second to find the earpiece's sweet spot, though the sound is clear once you're in position. And because the keys are recessed and flush with the casing, it's also difficult--if not impossible--to dial a number quickly. The menu and function keys, located above the numeric keypad, also suffer from this design flaw; their usefulness is further hindered by their smaller size.
Unlike some phones that bury the SIM card behind the battery, the V66 hides it conveniently behind the bezel, where it can be quickly accessed. The benefit of this is dubious, however; if you drop the phone, you could lose the card.
Despite its size, the V66 isn't short on features. All the expected bells and whistles are here, as well as some surprises. Along with a 500-entry phone book, a calculator, a date book, e911 compatibility, and wireless Web access via T-Mobile's GPRS network, the V66 integrates a voice recorder capable of taking one minute of notes. Here again, however, its size comes into play. It's a painfully arduous process to even write a rudimentary note, and in order to record your voice, you must speak directly into the microphone.
The intuitive menu system can be customized using the shortcuts feature. You can also create up to 32 alert tones with the My Tones feature, but the 32 tunes already on the phone will probably satisfy most people. Optional accessories include an FM radio module. We tested the world phone (GSM 900/1800/1900) in New York City using T-Mobile service and found call quality to be quite good once we found the phone's sweet spot. In our battery-life tests, the V66 gave us 60 hours of standby time, which is in the middle of the 50 to 120 hours that Motorola touts. But we squeaked by with only 90 minutes of talk time from the slim 3.6V lithium-ion battery--well short of the 180-minute rating. We should note that we tested it with the backlight set to a 20-second interval (the longest period possible) and the phone's power-draining animation feature turned off.
At $279, the V66 is costly, but if you can get it for half that price with new service, it's worth consideration. That said, before you buy, see if you can live with the small keypad and the inability to walk and dial a number simultaneously.

Minister in the Prime Minister's Office Motloheloa Phooko of Lesotho
Phooko said in a telephone interview this week from Maseru, the capital of Lesotho, that the national testing program has had ''tremendous results in recent months, although he had no countrywide figures.
Lesotho's Health Minister Motloheloa Phooko said at a recent press conference that he will try to implement universal HIV testing in the country, adding that the government will soon "go door to door" to test people for the virus, the Boston Globe reports.
World Health Organization HIV/AIDS Programme Director Jim Yong Kim late last month during a three-day visit to Lesotho persuaded Phooko to push for universal testing, and Phooko said he will announce a detailed testing plan on Dec 1 -- World AIDS Day -- that he said will "make history.
Phooko said that if universal HIV testing were implemented, "we need to follow that up and make sure everyone would have access to treatment.
Phooko was worried about many aspects of HIV testing on a massive scale, but for now he wondered how Lesotho would handle demands from huge numbers of people who learn they are infected.
At a press conference, Phooko said the country will soon ''go door to door" to test people.
Phooko said later he would announce a detailed testing plan Dec 1, World AIDS Day, which he said would ''make history.
World Health Organization HIV/AIDS Programme Director Jim Yong Kim in September during a three-day visit to Lesotho persuaded Health Minister Motloheloa Phooko to push for universal testing, and Phooko has said he will announce a detailed testing plan on Thursday -- World AIDS Day -- that will "make history.

I feel I have to talk about my thoughts with regards to the Ender's Game movie, especially in light of the mixed reviews I have heard.
There are two ways to think about the process of turning a book into a movie.
The Engineer's Way is methodical. Given a movie, what are the changes from the book? For each change, does it modify the meaning or impact of the event from the book? The fewer the changes, the more faithful the movie is to the book.
The Artist's Way takes a more emotional approach. What messages and emotions made the book interesting? How can we capture those same elements in the cinematic form?
Up front, neither way is inherently better. For a literate moviegoer, the Engineer's Way may prove more interesting. With the supporting knowledge from having read the book, the movie falls into context. In this case, the moviegoer is looking to see the images in his head turned into CGI reality on the screen. He wants to see the cool things, watch the faces of the characters as they go through their journey. The literate moviegoer has already been inside the character's head, and emotionally experienced the story. Now they want to graphically experience it.
On the other hand, the hapless, un-informed average Joe has not experienced the story yet, on any level. They have not heard the facts, been on the emotional roller-coaster, or seen the end. In this case, some may prefer the Engineer's Way, especially if they are looking for shallow entertainment. But if the moviegoer is looking for an engaging story, they will almost always want the Artist's Way.
This presents a dilemma for the cinematographer. Do you risk the wrath of the fans by deviating from the book? Or do you faithfully reproduce the book and risk losing the emotional intensity found within its pages? Few books allow for both approaches.
Ender's Game took the Engineer's Way. Personally I think this was wrong. Ender's Game is a long book with a couple of plot lines and milieu elements that don't especially lend themselves to the film medium. In fact, some of the best parts in the film adaptation of Ender's Game were the parts that deviated most from the book. For example, the two invasions compressed into one and the space battle turned into a fighter plane battle. Of course, that didn't change the impact of those events — you might say that it is an example of the Engineer's Way. But the exclusion of the Earth-bound politics certainly falls under the Artist's Way.
The point I want to make, in a strange, round-a-bout way, is that the film was faithful but devoid of emotional involvement. It had the intensity, but the audience was left behind as the film skipped along at a brisk pace. One of the cardinal sins of blockbuster films (or AAA games, for that matter) is that their sense of pacing is non-existent. There were almost no moments of complete silence in the Ender's Game movie. Much of it flew along, approaching the discontinuity of montage. Light music accompanied the quick delivery of dialogue and display of action, squelching any opportunity for a realistic pause.
Even having read the book a number of times and enjoying it, I could not emotionally connect with the characters onscreen. I watched the action, rather than experiencing it. The movie did a little too much tell, and not enough show.
While armchair directing is the most despicable form of cinematic criticism, I want give my two cents. If they had selected a few of the most emotionally charged and story-driving scenes and played them out over an extended period, the audience would have been given time to think. When there are realistic pauses in a conversation, the audience can create their own responses and then contrast them with what is said onscreen. In this manner of comparison, the audience connects with the characters. There is nothing wrong with having a second or, god forbid, two seconds of near-silence. A moment of ambient room noise can say as much as a minute of dialogue.
That said, they did pretty well with adapting the book. I'm not going to comment on the ending, because I am as stumped as anyone when it comes to turning the end of that book into a meaningful cinematic sequence.


Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology think laser technology could help intelligent life make contact with Earth. The researchers surmise that creating a 1- to 2-megawatt laser focused through a telescope could produce a light strong enough to be distinguishable from the energy produced by the sun. The researchers published their study in The Astrophysical Journal.
James Clark, author of the study, is a graduate student in MIT's Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics. He says that target of the energy beam would be areas like Proxima Centauri, the closest star to Earth. The project would be challenging, but not impossible, according to Clark.
Earth has been sending signals, such as radio waves, into space for over a century. The problem is that the length of time needed for those signals to get to the farthest reaches of the galaxy. Using light would allow messages to travel farther much faster. Lasers of the correct magnitude have already been created, but there is no telescope currently large enough to create the signal.
The telescope needed would be much larger anything currently seen on Earth at 115 to 148 feet long. The only thing that comes close would be the Extremely Large Telescope currently under construction by the European Space Organization. That telescope is projected to be 128 feet long.
However, operating a laser with the power of the sun has many hazards associated with it. Anyone looking at the beam could suffer massive corneal damage. There are also considerable risks to wildlife flying in the area.


Almost all modern laptops use Lithium Ion (LiIon) batteries. Each battery consists of at least a number of LiIon cells in a series 'string' and may consist of a number of parallel combinations of several series strings.
A Lithium Ion cell has a maximum charging voltage of 4.2 V (4.3 V for the brave and foolhardy). To charge a 4.2 V cell at least slightly more voltage is required to provide some "headroom" to allow charge control electronics to function.
At the very least about 0.1 V extra might do but usually at least 0.5 V would be useful and more might be used.
One cell = 4.2 V.
Two cells = 8.4 V.
Three cells = 12.6 V.
Four cells = 16.8 V.
Five cells = 21 V.
It is usual for a charger to use a switched mode power supply (SMPS) to convert the available voltage to required voltage. A SMPS can be a Boost converter (steps voltage up) or Buck converter (steps voltage down) or swap from one to the other as required. In many cases a buck converter can be made more efficient than a boost converter. In this case, using a buck converter it would be possible to charge up to 4 cells in series.
and with a source voltage of 19 V it would be possible to charge 1, 2, 3 or 4 LiIon cells in series and any number of parallel strings of these.
For cells at 16.8 V leave a headroom of (19−16.8) = 2.4 volt for the electronics. Most of this is not needed and the difference is accommodated by the buck converter, which acts as an "electronic gearbox", taking in energy at one voltage and outputting it at a lower voltage and appropriately higher current.
With say 0.7 V of headroom it would notionally be possible to use say 16.8 V + 0.5 V = 17.5 V from the power supply—but using 19 V ensures that there is enough for any eventuality and the excess is not wasted as the buck converter converts the voltage down as required. Voltage drop other than in the battery can occur in SMPS switch (usually a MOSFET), SMPS diodes (or synchronous rectifier), wiring, connectors, resistive current sense elements and protection circuitry. As little drop as possible is desirable to minimise energy wastage.
When a Lithium Ion cell is close to fully discharged it's terminal voltage is about 3 V. How low they are allowed to discharge to is subject to technical considerations related to longevity and capacity. At 3 V/cell 1/2/3/4 cells have a terminal voltage of 3/6/9/12 volt. The buck converter accommodates this reduced voltage to maintain charging efficiency. A good buck converter design can exceed 95 % efficient and in this sort of application should never be under 90 % efficient (although some may be).

Creda goes for 'wind-solar pv hybrid system'
The Chhattisgarh Renewable Energy Development Agency (CREDA) will be utilising a unique Wind-Solar PV Hybrid System for generating green power across the State.
It going to install 5 KW (Minimum 60% of total Wind Solar Hybrid System) Wind-Solar PV Hybrid system consisting of Wind Turbine, Solar PV, Solar Charge Controller, Wind Charge Controller with Inverter and Batteries across the state.
CREDA envisages installation of grid-connected solar PV rooftop projects with aggregate capacity of 600 MW in different categories across the State
Notably, CREDA is targetting installation of Grid-connected Rooftop Solar PV Projects across the State. The generated solar power may be utilised for captive application and the surplus power will be fed to the grid.
Moreover, Chhattisgarh Government has been given a target of creating 2000 'Suryamitras' by the Union Ministry of New and Renewable Energy who could be trained for seeking employment in the solar energy sector during the next five years.
The Suryamitra Skill Development Program (SSDP) aims to develop the skills of youth, considering the opportunities for employment in the growing Solar Energy Power Project's installation, operation and maintenance in India and abroad.
Notably, Chhattisgarh commissioned grid connected solar projects with cumulative capacity of 128.91 MW as on October 31, 2017, according to a status report of Union Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE).
Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has included renewable energy projects under priority sector lending for which bank loans up to a limit of Rs 15 crore to borrowers will be available for renewable energy projects including grid connected solar rooftop and ground mounted systems. For individual households, the loan limit is Rs 10 lakh per borrower.
· Researchers develop ReMix an in-body GPS system to track tumours

· Center imposes curbs on import of biofuels
Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) imposedrestrictions on the import of biofuels through an amendment in the import policy. The bio-fuels include ethyl alcohol and other denatured spirits, biodiesel, petroleum oils and oils obtained from bituminous minerals other than crude. The free import of biofuels is now made available only for non-fuel purposes.
The Cabinet had approved the National Policy on Biofuels in May 2018, which allowed doping of ethanol produced from damaged food grains, rotten potatoes, corn and sugar beet with petrol. The government claimed that the move will cut oil imports by Rs.4,000 crore in 2018 alone. It then reiterated its plan to invest Rs.10,000 crore to build 12 biofuel refineries by 2022 which will help it save Rs 12,000 crore of import bills.

India's First ISTS connected Wind Power Project Commissioned
Solar Energy Corporation of India Limited (SECI) conducted India's first auction of wind power projects in February 2017 in which tariff of Rs. 3.46 was discovered, which was much lower than feed in tariffs in vogue those days.
This was a 1000 MW bid for projects to be connected on ISTS (Inter State Transmission System) wherein power generated from one state (renewable resource rich state) could be transmitted to other renewable deficient states.
The energy generated from this project is being purchased by Bihar, Odisha, Jharkhand and UP.
