Chamber of Entrepreneurs urges government to engage youth to create jobs
byAngeller Ashong
in Vaultz Business
Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Chamber of Young Entrepreneurs (GCYE), Sherif Ghali
President of the Ghana Chamber of Young Entrepreneurs (GCYE), Sherif Ghali, has called on government to engage the youth to create more jobs in the country.
According to him, although it is not "everybody that can be an entrepreneur", government in its own way can help the youth build capacity to set up businesses.
Mr Ghali revealed that the Chamber conducted a survey to find out the key challenges entrepreneurs face across the country and indicated that 60% of the responses were that young people lacked needed capacity to "run sustainable businesses".
He stressed that despite "access to finance" placing second in the survey, the leading concern of the youth was capacity building, a phenomenon which he revealed must be addressed by government.
"Youth entrepreneurship is one key thing though it is not a panacea to solving this unemployment issue. But it's one key thing the government can engage to support or create jobs. However, support those that are already doing the businesses… what the government can do is that, identify these young people, build their capacity… so they can employ more".
Mr Sherif Ghali
Mr Ghali highlighted that Ghana is one of the "promising economies" that is very fertile for entrepreneurships. This, he explained, is as a result of the "many untapped opportunities" and innovations available to young people.
That notwithstanding, he indicated that policies churned out by the central government, which are directed towards creating an enabling environment for the young person to start to "grow and sustain a business" is what we are lacking.
"So, if you have an economy that is fertile for business but they are not direct policies that can support these young people, then at the end of the day nothing good is going to come out of it. Governments upon governments what basically they do is that they come up with policies for young entrepreneurs, when the young people are not even consulted".
Government advised to create jobs
Touching on the 1 million jobs promised by government during the reading of this year's midyear budget, Mr Ghali stated that he hasn't seen "any practical action" from government with respect to job creation.
Mr Ghali revealed that government cannot keep promising one million jobs when we do not know the "impact of all our policies".
"I will still go back to that issue I've always been hammering on. If we promise from 2017 to create 500,000 or 100, 000 jobs every year, how did that fair? It is only based on that we are able to see how we faired and the impact that we can build on what worked and what didn't work".
Citing the YouthBanc proposed by government in the midyear budget statement, Mr Ghali explained that if government follows through with the plan it will "provide that necessary support".
For now, Mr Ghali noted that he hasn't seen anything "practically" from government with regards to job creation for the youth.
"Currently, we have close to fifteen different interventions that are geared towards creating jobs. So, I've never been very elated about this one million jobs thing and I'm not surprised that we are not seeing anything. However, I will always say they are very good attempts".
In concluding, Mr Ghali urged government to involve "key stakeholders" and young entrepreneurs whom policies are created for, to "engage" them.

A City of art and industry - always worth a visit!
Nowadays, people talk about Schweinfurt as an industrial and labor center. They don't mean the flair of the city, but rather, the city's history and roots.
One can compare the city to a colorful mosaic where modern architecture sits alongside medieval buildings of past centuries. The fresh wind of the present, the spirits of the old industrial pioneers and the joyful life of the free Reichsburgs waft through Schweinfurt's nostalgic streets.
Schweinfurt offers various diverse and outstanding cultural opportunities such as the Georg Schäfer Museum, the Kunsthalle or the City Theater.
The neighborhood and surrounding areas of Schweinfurt also exhibit many treasures namely: the Mainradweg, the nearby low mountain ranges like Steigerwald and Rhön, and most of all the wine villages and the deeply-incorporated Frankish culture in and around Schweinfurt will transform your stay into a wonderful and unforgettable experience.

How to fit 1TB of data on one CD-sized disc
By James Rivington 23 August 2007
1000GB = 20 times the size of a dual-layer Blu-ray disc
The first storage server in 1956 could store up to 2MB. One single CD-sized disc can now store 50,000 times as much data as that...
Blu-ray and HD DVD have pushed the limits of optical storage further than anyone thought possible. But a new technology has emerged which makes Blu-ray's 50GB capacity look tiny. Mempile in Israel says it's able to fit an incredible 1TB of data onto one "TeraDisc" which is the same size as CDs and DVDs. That's 20 times the capacity of a maxed-out dual-layer Blu-ray disc.
The incredible capacity achieved using this new technology is made possible by employing 200 5GB layers, each one only five microns apart. The discs are completely transparent to the red lasers which are used in the associated recorder.
Read: How to fit 1TB of data on one tiny thumbdrive
Prototypes have already been made to store up to 800GB of data, and Mempile says it will crack the 1TB barrier before moving on to build 5TB blue laser disks.
Dr Beth Erez, Mempile's Chief Marketing Officer says that the first 1TB disks have a lifespan of 50 years and could be on the shelves in two to three years.
Highest capacity discs ever
"The TeraDisc is made of a material which is highly responsive to two-photon writing and reading. This allows us to write anywhere in that we can focus a red laser onto the disc, e.g. multiple layers," Dr. Erez told TFOT.info.
"However, many other properties of the material have to be optimised to allow this to work properly. Especially the written points, and written layers have to remain transparent after writing, without which it would be very difficult for the reading process to see the 200th layer through 199 written, non-transparent layers.
"When a red laser is focused to a small spot inside the TeraDisc, we can choose if we probe the state of this material (reading , low power) or alter it (writing at higher power). This is very similar to the way a regular CDR works, except for the fact that this is now done in 3D," she said.
It's hard to imagine that a disc format not invented by one of the world's big technology firms could become a future industry standard. But it's perfectly conceivable that these discs might one day be used in libraries to archive digital copies of books and so forth.
On a 1TB disc, you could store:
212 DVD-quality movies
250,000 MP3 files
1,000,000 large Word documents


Michael Johnson for Concordia Austin is 3-0 with 35 ks in three starts. Struck out 17 against UT Dallas and had I believe 9 or 10k's against UT TYler who is in the top 10 in both D3 polls.
Elmhurst's Cody Boals no-hit Concordia (WI) Sunday night in a 12-0 win in the MetroDome.
Elmhurst is now 2-2 after dropping a pair to Macalester Monday evening.
Big Poppa, Have enjoyed your posts for quite a while, both you and JP are right on the mark consistently. Couple of questions for you- Who's hit the most Home Runs and which Pitcher's got the most victories over the past two seasons? Anyone putting together some good back to back years? Look foward to more of your comments as this season's playoff picture emerges!
I have no idea, but I bet someone will give us the answer in the next few hours.
If you rummage around the NCAA website you can find the stats pages and stats archives.
Josh Tedesco Thiel -- 17 wins; 11-3 in 2008; 6-1 in 2009.
NCAA has Burg at 11-1 in 2008 and has him 5-0 thru April 5th.
I think that the NCAA will update the table in a couple of days.
OOPS - i just realized you were including this year info.
Who are your pitcher of the year candidates for 2010?
oshdude, thanks for the pitcher of the year stats and list, good work and looks like you took alot of time. Have alot of heads turning and making fans want to see the season start.
Oshdude, if you had to rank the top 5 out of every region who would you put and where?
For me the top contender who has never been named AA is LHP Aaron Dott (Whitewater). I say that having seen him throw since covering HS baseball for a Wisconsin newspaper. Other than players like Dott who I have seen many, many times, I think anyone from my above list has a legit shot. Why not, you know? James Murrey (Macalester), Adian Kummet (St. Scholastica) and Todd Mathison (St. Olaf) are a few more Midwest guys I'm familiar with who have a good shot. Not much of an expert to give possible breakouts from other regions.
As for the other regions, like I'm assuming it is for everyone else, I base my opinions on stats and the occassional trusted message board author. The only time I ever get to see teams from other regions is at every World Series, which is about 15 miles from my house. I've seen all but three Appleton WS games since 2000, but even that isn't much experience with other regions. For example I thought Adrian's Alex Webster was one of the five or so best SPs I saw last year, regardless of region. If you look at his stats, they're not AA-caliber. But I like lists, so I'll make some. Just know that in some cases I have never even seen these dudes pitch. Folks from other regions (or even the MW/C), feel free to correct my lists.
Was bored so I updated it with approximations based on the two 2009 AA teams (postseason rank in parentheses). Thought it looked good in the preseason, too. Shows how much last year means ... or it shows that I'm not too bright. At least I added Gilblair to the NE mix in a later draft.

Fabio Capello watched on as Villa's young hopefuls were knocked out of the Cup by established England player Wayne Rooney.
The Manchester United striker came off the bench to turn the game with a 20 minute cameo which he rounded off in typical fashion, with a goal.
National nemesis Cristiano Ronaldo got the first for United in the last ten minutes after what had been a stale encounter.
Capello will have felt right at home as defensive tactics were the order of the day and both sides almost looked too tired to attack.
The Claret and Blue were content to wait for an opportunity from a set piece, which has been somewhat a speciality of late, but it never came.
The fisrt real chance of the game fell to the man who loves Villa Park more than any other opposition player, Ryan Giggs. He was slow to react with five minutes remaining in the first half, as Cristiano Ronaldo struck a bouncing drive which Scott Carson could only parry.
In truth the Villa keeper should of done better, but he was lucky, as Giggs could only divert it uncomfortably wide.
That was the only real action in the first half and it was not much different after the break.
United did have another chance to take the lead on 56 minutes as Nemanja Vidic rose highest at a corner, but glanced wide.
No inroads were being made by either team and it was only a matter of time before Rooney came out of hibernation.
He replaced Park Ji-Sung, who may have been unlucky. as Saha had been staring at the guillotine from the outset. The Frenchman put in a rather lethargic showing and Villa easily marked him out of the game.
By 80 minutes even Capello and the watching F.A. contingent must have been bored, but then the game came to life.
Ironically, a man who has helped put England out of a tournament or two got the opener.
Cristiano Ronaldo had been kicked, pushed and just fairly taken out of the game, mainly by England man Gareth Barry. But on 82 minutes he got his revenge as Giggs slid in a cross, which left him with an easy tap in.
The winker duly obliged and it was 1-0.
Villa didnt really threaten to force a replay, but Craig Gardner headed over just before the Claret and Blue's F.A. Cup fate was sealed for another season.
With less than five minutes remaining Rooney saw his chance to show Capello what he can do and took it. He struck the ball perfectly on the half volley past Carson from the edge of the area. Game Over.
The referee blew his whistle and United were through at the expense of Villa again. The score was slightly harsh on the home side who will have felt they should have at least claimed a replay, but with players such as Young and Agbonlahor looking tired it was one game too many.
Capello ahould not write off the Claret and Blue young guns and must take into account the hectic schedule which they have endured. They deserve a chance alongside Rooney and Co.

Ikea unveils its Animal Crossing edition catalog, recreates interiors in the game
Really well reproduced.

Ikea Taiwan has unveiled the interiors catalog for the Animal Crossing: New Horizons edition.
The plan is to recreate their official 2021 catalog in the Animal Crossing: New Horizons game.
On the left is a model interior coordination photo from the original IKEA catalog, and on the right is a recreation of it in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
While this may seem like a high level of reproduction in a game with only a limited number of options, it also makes use of the Custom Designs system to mimic the look.
Here's one that will make you smile. The clothes, expressions, and hairstyles of the two models from the catalog are also reproduced in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
The IKEA Taiwan e-catalog can be found here.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons for Nintendo Switch was a huge hit, selling 20 million units worldwide by the end of June, despite a chronic shortage of units.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons sold over 20 million units, breaking all-time records
Animal Crossing has been a popular series since its predecessors, with the creative element of creating rooms of your choice, hitting dots to make clothes, and the communication element of playing together and sharing your creations via the internet.
The latest title had a solid foothold on the Nintendo Switch, a much-improved level of expression, and the coincidental arrival of the global stay-home trend, so Animal Crossing itself, beyond being a closed game, became in a sense a platform in its own right, used for a variety of purposes, including corporate PR.
Art gallery releases QR-based design tool for Animal Crossing: New Horizons
For a giant furniture store like IKEA, Animal Crossing is a great match, especially since one of the main goals of the game is to collect furniture and redecorate a virtual room. We can expect even more advanced collaborations, such as the distribution of collaborative furniture within the game, or conversely, an IKEA version of Animal Crossing's do-it-yourself furniture.

Mount Stanley is another very easy Summit close to Beechworth in northeast Victoria, about an hour's drive from home. I had activated this one once before but given an opportunity and a relatively benign weather forecast my lady and I decided we'd take a trip up there, check out the views and maybe make a few contacts.
There are two ways you can access the Summit of Mt Stanley. Last time we activated it we went up from the south, which involves some very steep 4WD trails. As it had been raining the day before and overnight we decided to give that a miss this time, and took the easy road up from the village of Stanley. This is a well graded, gently sloping dirt road that would be easy going for a 2WD vehicle.
On arrival at the parking place near the Summit we were dismayed to note the looming black clouds and rain in the middle distance. We decided to wait a bit before setting up, just in case the weather came our way. Sure enough it did, and for ten minutes or so we huddled in the Hilux while a mixture of rain, hail and sleet hammered down. It soon passed and from our vantage point we couldn't see any more coming, so we walked up to the highest point away from the radio tower and set up the gear.
This time I decided not to attempt to use the link dipole as it had almost let me down on the previous expedition and I hadn't had time to repair it. Instead I set up the Barrett 940 using its wire antenna with a counterpoise lying on the ground. It's not very efficient but it works.
In 25 minutes of operating on 7MHz SSB I worked VK3PF, VK3CAT, VK5WG, VK3GRW, VK3WE, VK3FQSO, VK3ERW, VK3HRA/P, VK3AFW, VK3ARR, VK3DAC, VK1MA/2, VK5LY, VK3AV, VK3FPSR, VK5TN, VK3FOWL, VK1ATP, VK3EK, VK2CCJ, VK1DI, VK2AOH, VK2QR, VK3YSP, VK2GAZ and VK1RX.
My lady pointed out to me at this point that the black clouds were gathering again, so we quickly packed everything away and headed for home.

Senate Approves Landmark Water Bill
Sen. Ron Justice
Sen. Justice on HB 1483 water bill.
Interests of Oklahomans Put First
In an effort to safeguard Oklahoma's water resources, the State Senate voted unanimously to support House Bill 1483.
House Bill 1483 protects Oklahoma water resources and the state's ability to provide water to its citizens in the future. Additionally, it requires legislative approval before any water compacted to Oklahoma can be permitted for out-of-state uses. Federal interstate compacts have been agreed to by the state of Oklahoma and its neighboring states and have been approved by Congress, which asserts Oklahoma's claim to its waters.
President Pro Tempore Glenn Coffee commended the unanimous approval of this vital water legislation.
"The legislation passed today strengthens our state and because our water supply is precious, safeguards were needed to ensure its use for future generations," Pro Tem Coffee said.
Coffee added that HB 1483 restates existing law providing legislative oversight pertaining to water decisions.
Senator Ron Justice, R-Chickasha, author of the bill and chairman of the Senate Republican Rural Caucus, stressed the importance of protecting Oklahoma's water resources and commended the Legislature for working together to solve a common problem and set goals for the future of this state.
"Water is not only imperative to rural Oklahoma but to our entire state as well," said Justice. "The unanimous stand we made today proves this accomplishment was a team effort and the interests of Oklahomans were put first. Our water will be protected for years to come."
Senator Brian Bingman, R-Sapulpa, co-author of House Bill 1483, said it was imperative that the Legislature do all they could to protect Oklahoma's water resources.
"We know the importance of Oklahoma water and the positive economic impact it has on our state," said Bingman. "Oklahoma will now have more control of the protection and distribution of its own water, which will help make us stronger as a state."
The state of Oklahoma is involved in a lawsuit with Dallas and Tarrant County, Texas, who are now seeking a water permit to access clean Oklahoma water. The lawsuit claims the current statewide moratorium on out-of-state waters sales contradicts the federal Interstate Commerce Clause of the Constitution. This moratorium is set to expire in November with the trial currently on the docket for December.
Sen. Justice - (405) 521-5537


BEAUTY Is Not Enough. Oh, What a Feeling! Driving is Believing. Find Your Own Road.
All car company slogans, all quite naff.
Skoda's is the rather inoffensive and unsexy 'Simply Clever' but you know what, its cars truly are.
Take the new Fabia. Here's a light car on the Toyota Yaris/Mazda2 scale, yet they've managed to turn it into a wagon with cavernous boot space.
Enough for the family? If you've bought a Mazda CX-5 medium SUV to carry kiddie gear, guess what, you get more litres in the big-bummed Fabia. Crazy but true.
The all-new baby Skoda comes in hatchback form too, but with the wagon being prettier, just $1150 more and unique in this segment, it is the offering that can bolster Skoda's sales: already up 30% over last year's.
Key to this is pricing, and Skoda is coming out swinging. To not make the Fabia cheaper than close cousin VW Polo would be madness, so with the VeeDub already bargain basement, Skoda's offering the Fabia hatchback for $15,990 on the road until year's end.
With a modest $350 extra for on-roads to go with an estate premium of $1150, that's $17,490 drive away for a wagon, and one that brings cutting edge tech and decent safety brags to entice younger families.
BEST OPTION: Wagon variant is a $1150 premium over the hatchback and brings arguably more style, but certainly more practicality.
It all feels rather VW in the cabin - no bad thing - with decent layout, simple controls and supportive seats.
Hard plastics do abound but relief comes with a leather multi-function steering wheel and a decent resolution 6.5-inch touchscreen.
There's full smartphone integration to pique the interest of the tech-savvy market. Called SmartLink - integrating Apple CarPlay and Android Auto software - you pair you phone via cable and apps are mirrored on the screen.
Your screen basically becomes your smartphone, so you swipe your way through music, contacts or navigation, while text messages can be sent using voice commands. It's brilliant.
There are two engine choices: the 66TSI and 81TSI. Both are turbo 1.2-litre four-pots with 66kW and 81kW respectively, the former coming with five-speed manual and the latter a seven-speed DSG auto.
The 66kW doesn't lose much performance to the 81kW, with reasonable zip thanks to a good chunk of torque from low revs.
The 66TSI proved more rewarding on the open road too, the silky manual 'box combining with light but communicative steering and decent balance to bring some real fun.
Auto fans are asked to spend over $4000 to get into the 81TSI (you can't option the DSG on the 66TSI). You get more kit, but it's not worth the money for the minor power gain, and while a smart thing, the auto doesn't add to the enjoyment.
Ride quality and balance didn't change between wagon and hatch - each absorbing bumps impressively - although road noise in the cabin did remind that the Fabia is still a small car.
All cars get SmartLink with 6.5-inch screen, plus a surround sound system with quality near unmatched in any car this size.
Another win is safety. Fabia was awarded best in class in European testing, due in part to Front Assist and City Brake which emergency stops the car automatically.
BIG PACKAGE: Fabia Wagon option gives a mighty 505-litres of boot space: more than a Mazda CX-5 medium SUV and the same as a Mazda6 Wagon.
The 66TSI benefits most by adding an optional Travel Pack, bringing 16-inch alloys, cruise control and LED running lights for $1300, while another $300 gives a funky Colour Concept option (hatch only) where you can contrast the body colour against the roof and wheels.
The 81TSI gets 15-inch alloys and cruise as standard, but two optional Sports Packs add another few grand, quickly making a top optioned Fabia look expensive, and despite the sporty claims there are still no steering wheel paddle shifters for the auto.
Some may grumble a reversing camera isn't standard - or even optional - but the Fabia's rear park sensors with optical parking display does the job just fine in my eyes. Same with sat nav. It's a $950 option, but why bother when you can mirror your phone's free navigation app?
Fabia's trump card? No wagon alternative in this cheapie segment. The hatch has a fight though with players including Ford Fiesta ($15,825), Honda Jazz ($14,990), Hyundai i20 ($16,590), Mazda2 ($14,990), Renault Clio ($16,790), Suzuki Swift ($15,990), Toyota Yaris ($14,990) and VW Polo ($16,490).
No matter the engine, transmission or body, 4.8-litres/100km is the quoted economy. Our varied drive route returned under 6-litres on average in both 66TSI and 81TSI so fuel bills will be low, despite the Fabia drinking costlier 95 octane. Pesky Euros.
The Colour Concept adds some jazz to the hatch. Yellow on black works great, so it's a shame the wagon variant can't benefit.
The new Fabia looks sleeker and a tad wider than before, its front end attractive but the rear is, much like Skoda's Octavia, just a bit too Plain Jane.
YOUNG AT HEART: Our test Fabia hatch featured Skoda's Colour Concept, bringing contrasting roof and wheel colours to the body's.
With 305-litres of boot space in the hatch and a mighty 505-litres for the wagon (1370-litres seats down) there's surprising space. Smart cabin storage compartments and an array of holders, hooks and nets in the boot are, well, simply clever.
Back seat headroom is particularly great in the wagon, but rear leg space is cramped, reminding you it's a light car. It's not for three adults across the back, but three kids or a couple of child seats are fine.
Skoda has some excellent hardware in its current range, and the new Fabia could really help the brand surge forward.
Attractive, well-equipped, full of smart features and with an infotainment level to leave more expensive rivals blushing, the Fabia is a decent pick in the face of tough competition. As a city car the bargain $15,990 hatch is a steal, but at just $1150 more the unique-to-this-segment wagon is a phenomenon.
CZECH ME OUT: Frugal Fabia returns 4.8-litres/100km with either 66kW or 81kW engine. It's not a quick car, but low down torque makes it zippy around town.
What we liked: Sharp pricing for the 66TSI, hatch's custom colours, wagon's great space, brilliant standard infotainment.
What we'd like to see: A choice of manual and auto for both cars, fewer hard plastics inside, rear seats that fold fully flat as standard.
Warranty and servicing: Three years/unlimited km warranty with capped price servicing. Skoda Care Pack extended warranty is available.
Details: Five-door front-wheel-drive sub-compact hatchback or wagon.
Engine: 1.2-litre four-cylinder turbo petrols generating 66kW @ 4400rpm and 160 Nm @ 1400rpm (66TSI) or 81kW @ 4600rpm and 175Nm @ 1400rpm (81TSI).
Transmission: 5-speed manual (66TSI) and 7-speed DSG auto (81TSI).
CO2: 109g/km (66TSI) and 111g/km (81TSI).
Bottom line (driveaway): $15,990 (66TSI manual), $20,290 (81TSI DSG auto) until the end of 2015, wagon adds $1150 plus an extra $350 for on-roads until the end of 2015.
WHY WOULDN'T YOU? Wagon starts from $17,140 drive away, just $1150 more than the $15,990 hatchback.
Ideal time to buy a new car?

Calling it a great milestone three years in the making, Woodward, Inc. CEO and Chairman Tom Gendron on Tuesday christened the company's new $200 million campus at the former Link-N-Greens golf course.
The ribbon cutting for the 300,000-square-foot industrial turbomachinery systems, or ITS, building and 60,000-square-foot corporate headquarters wraps up a vision that started a decade ago, Gendron said, when Woodward started working on research and development to solve problems its customers might face.
"We needed to advance capacity in our facilities," he said.
More than 140 employees from Woodward's expansive facility at Drake Road and Lemay Avenue facility were the first to move to the new campus northwest of Mulberry Street and Lemay Avenue that now holds about 550, with more to come.
Initially, the ITS building was to be built first, followed by the corporate headquarters. But Steve Stiesmeyer, director of corporate real estate for the aerospace and engines systems company, said it was more efficient to keep construction flowing from one job to the next.
About 60 percent of the equipment at the new site moved from existing Woodward facilities. The campus will eventually hold about 1,700 workers.

It's also a new era for Woodward in terms of building design. Gone are the individual tall cubicles and walled-in offices found at the Drake Road campus.
The new facilities are open, with ample natural light, and patios and balconies overlooking the Poudre River. "It was important to Tom (Gendron) that everyone get to experience the beautiful views," said Julie James, Woodward spokeswoman and recent tour guide.
Wood from the silver maple and ash trees removed from the former golf course are found on stair treads and halls in the corporate office and ITS building. Rings from the ash trees decorate a cafeteria wall.
Most walls in the corporate offices are glass, providing transparency and an open concept suited to recruit and retain millennials. But, with the touch of a button, the glass turns opaque to provide privacy when needed.
Numerous break areas exist to get people away from their desks to eat lunch or grab a cup of coffee.
"We encourage people not to eat at their desks," James said.
PHOTOS: 100-year-old Woodward Silos come down
It's a sea change for the company that's marking its 60th anniversary in Fort Collins. Although Woodward has had a presence in Fort Collins and Loveland for decades, it only moved its corporate headquarters here from Rockford, Illinois, in 2007 when Gendron was named CEO.
The corporate office building includes Woodward University, a program that will bring Woodward employees to Fort Collins for training. Now that the new campus is open, Woodward will turn its attention to its other facilities in Fort Collins and Loveland. There is no intent to leave the sprawling Drake Road campus, and the company is evaluating the future of its Loveland site, where it still employs about 500 workers.
Woodward's quest for a new corporate home is well-documented.
The company considered moving to other cities that offered more lucrative incentives and sites easier to develop than a golf course running along the Poudre River in Fort Collins. But Gendron, a longtime Fort Collins resident, was committed to staying here if possible.
Negotiations with the city became contentious at times as Woodward sought incentives to stay. No one will comment officially on how close Woodward came to walking away from the deal, but many believe the company was on the precipice of taking its multimillion-dollar project to another state or city.
Losing the international company would have been an economic and psychological blow to Fort Collins.
600 WORKERS: Comcast call center will open in early 2017
The Fort Collins Downtown Development Authority contributed $16.7 million in tax increment financing for facade and infrastructure improvements and the city offered $23.5 million in tax incentives and fee waivers, including $6.8 million in rebated use taxes and fees delivered over time, to keep Woodward here.
As part of the development, Woodward deeded 31 of the site's 101 acres back to the city to be included in Fort Collins' natural areas program.
The Poudre River and Poudre River Trail wind along the property's southwestern border between Lincoln and Lemay avenues.
The project is seen as a catalyst for other development downtown, including new apartments, retail and the Elizabeth Hotel under construction in nearby Old Town.
Eventually, the city hopes it can create a new gateway to Fort Collins on Mulberry Street.
Woodward campus by the numbers
Cost: $200 million plus $50 million for equipment
Cost of land: $9 million
Incentives: $23.5 million in tax incentives and fee waivers from the city; up to $16.7 million in tax increment financing from the Fort Collins Downtown Development Authority.
Size of property: 101 acres originally. Woodward deeded 31 acres to the city for inclusion in its natural areas program.
Jobs created: Woodward plans to employ as many as 1,700 workers at the site; 1,800 construction jobs are anticipated.
Steel used for buildings: 2,800 tons

A: I don't know if this is what you are looking for but just add it as a string value to a property:

It's not easy being chair of a religion department. August is an especially cruel month as we close out one academic year and start up a new one, and begin again to struggle with an increasingly vital challenge: recruiting and keeping more majors. I've been teaching at Emory University for over 20 years, and every August I begin to obsess about a question (mostly as I'm frantically trying to get my syllabus together for the new term) that's at the center of my intellectual passion and personal livelihood: how do you convince people to study religion?
For me as a professor of religion and chair of a department in the year 2015, I wonder about how best to "pitch" a religion major to undergraduate students, many of whom come into college thinking about--in too many cases more like obsessing about--pre-formed and fairly rigid professional aspirations and trajectories. Forget about learning for learning's sake, the life of the mind, or the enriching freedom of being "undeclared." The politicians tell them, their parents tell them, and their schools tell them: figure out your career.
That makes it very difficult to promote religion, or better, religious studies, to students. Political science major? Clear path to law school. Biology? Premed. Economics major? An entrepreneur in the making. Those majors make sense and lead students on a well-trodden path from student to professional, from youth to adult, from dependence to independence. At least that is what they hope and their families are banking on. So they are a "tough sell" as they say in the business, and require a proactive if not proselytizing move to bring more sheep into the Religious Studies fold.
A religion major? Unfortunately we have history working against us, as the assumption that studying religion means being religious is burrowed deep in our culture and impossible to avoid. Everyone thinks that if you study religion you're planning to be a priest. However, as we all know, people like -- no love -- to talk about religion, whether they are for it, against it, or somewhere in between. So when folks hear that religious studies exists as a major or an option in graduate studies, they are often pleasantly surprised, though others have been offended by the very idea.
I'm getting ready to teach religion and sexuality in the fall. This will be the third go round with the course and enrolment is already up to 200 students, who seem to be very interested. The topic, of course, sells itself for 18 to 22-year-olds. What is not so self-evident, and therefore the point of the pitch I will have to make, is that the study of religion may be one of the most significant and rewarding intellectual pursuits in a college education.
Is it "relevant"? Does it have "practical" value? Is it a "stepping stone" to adult professional life?
1. It will help you get a job and make lots of money.
This is not entirely true, but it's not out of the realm of possibility either. While it might not be smart to begin my presentation with a bold-faced lie, this half-truth strikes me as perfectly acceptable in the spirit of pitching. It's on their mind and what they, and their parents, want to hear. We have had majors become doctors and dentists, public health professionals and teachers (who don't really make lots of money, but still a noble profession) and lead healthy, happy, productive lives. When our majors graduate, they actually get a wide variety of jobs.
2. It will blow your mind.
This is truly the meat of it. A religion major, if it's done right, will turn your world upside down, turn childish thoughts into mature ponderings, turn darkness into light (maybe too hyperbolic?). The topics in these courses inevitably lead to fascinating and perplexing, sometimes outrageous and repulsive, aspects of the human experience: sexuality, of course, but also death, popular culture, violence, the environment, social change, emotional life, and so on. In addition to the content of our courses, however, is something even meatier: our courses focus on critical thinking about religion, attentive to both theories and methods that define and guide our endeavours. Even more than learning about Buddhism or Judaism or Islam or Christianity, students also wrestle with Karl Marx, Talal Asad, W. E. B. Du Bois, Kathryn Lofton, and William James, to name only a few of the thinkers who may be implicated when your mind gets blown away.
3. It can be used to make the world a better place.
We have not yet produced a major who went on to become President of the United States. But we have come close with Secretary of State John Kerry, who remarked once that if he went back to school he would likely major in comparative religion. Just imagine what a wonderful world this would be if more politicians majored in religion. I would love to have Ted Cruz as a student, or Rick Perry, or Bernie Sanders. All of them really, except Donald. Certainly the so-called newscasters at Fox would be singing a different tune if they learned a few things about religion. Unfortunately there are not many celebrities or politicians with religion degrees we can use in our promotional profiles. But each new major we graduate, no matter what direction their professional lives take, contributes to increased awareness and understanding of religion. That is a good thing.
4. It's a social magnet: people love more than ever to talk about religion.
What is a hotter subject than religion? And in this time of conceptual ambiguity (what the hell is "religion" anyway), with blurred and contested boundaries about what counts and what doesn't, it's even more appealing for people to talk about. Is there really a Church of Cannabis? Who are the "nones"? Can sports fandom be religious? Everyone wants to get in on the act, especially the raging atheists who don't even believe religion exists. You will be a hit at parties, both in the frats and sororities, but also at your parents' dinner parties.
Perhaps too cliché as the final point in the pitch, but here it is. Religious knowledge--knowledge about religions and religious cultures--is a powerful resource to use throughout the rest of your life. Let's face it: religion is one of the most powerful social and cultural forces in human history. It has wreaked havoc and devastating carnage through time and around the world. It has also been a source of profound comfort and good in the world. Religion is everywhere and always integral to human cultures. And learning about religions and religious cultures will contribute to the moral, intellectual, emotional, and yes even spiritual self-knowledge of students in this most critical time of development. And what can be more powerful than greater self-knowledge to a 20 year old?
So, I'm not going to try and sell students religion... exactly. My religion pitch is not about whether this religion is true or that one false; or that this faith can heal the sick and that one is demonic and evil. Rather than try to convert people to the one true Religion, my pitch is designed to convert you to a different truth about religion: it must be studied!

The thing is, when i make the same request to my websphere server through a browser, or calling the adapter directly from eclipse I get the expected response.
Relevant Android code
The call to the MFP server
public static void validateUserId(MobileFirstActivity activity, String userId, boolean saveUserId,
                                      WLResponseListener listener) {
        ValidateUserIdRequest validateUserIdRequest = new ValidateUserIdRequest(userId, saveUserId);
        activity.performResourceRequest(validateUserIdRequest, listener);
    }

The ValidateUserIdRequest object
class ValidateUserIdRequest implements ResourceRequest {

private final String userId;
private static final String appVersion = BuildConfig.VERSION_NAME;
private final String saveUserId;
private static final String devicePrint = "Android";

public ValidateUserIdRequest(String userId, boolean saveUserId) {
    this.userId = userId;
    this.saveUserId = String.valueOf(saveUserId);
}

@Override
public int setEndpointResource() {
    return R.string.ValidateUserId;
}

@Override
public void setParams(WLResourceRequest resourceRequest) {
    resourceRequest.setQueryParameter("params",
            ResourceUtils.convertMapToParamString(
                    userId, appVersion, saveUserId, devicePrint));
}

@Override
public String setRequestMethod() {
    return WLResourceRequest.GET;
}

The method that actual performs the request
public void performResourceRequest(final ResourceRequest resourceRequest, final WLResponseListener listener) {
    if (!isConnectedToMfpServer) {
        connectToMfpServer(new WLResponseListener() {
            @Override
            public void onSuccess(WLResponse wlResponse) {
                isConnectedToMfpServer = true;
                performResourceRequest(resourceRequest, listener);
            }

            @Override
            public void onFailure(WLFailResponse wlFailResponse) {
                isConnectedToMfpServer = false;
                listener.onFailure(wlFailResponse);
            }
        });
    } else {
        try {
            URI endpoint = new URI(getString(resourceRequest.setEndpointResource()));
            WLResourceRequest request = new WLResourceRequest(endpoint, resourceRequest.setRequestMethod());
            resourceRequest.setParams(request);
            request.send(listener);
        } catch (URISyntaxException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

The utility method that converts the String[] params to a compatible string.
public static String convertMapToParamString(String... params) {

        StringBuilder stringBuilder = new StringBuilder();
        stringBuilder.append("[");
        for (int i = 0; i < params.length; i++) {
            stringBuilder.append("'").append(params[i]).append("'");
            if (i != (params.length - 1)) {
                stringBuilder.append(",");
            }
        }
        stringBuilder.append("]");

        return stringBuilder.toString();
    }

convertMapToParamString gives me this as a result as per the documentation for Javascript based adapters
['mbltest3','1.0','false','Android']

I get the correct parameters on my MFP server, but the request is still bad.
What else could I try?

A: Turns out the cookie for my request was not being properly attached resulting in the 400 error.

Q: AngularJS set default value of an array of radio buttons by a nested id property? See the JSFiddle.
In AngularJS 1.2, I'm trying to find out if its possible to refer to an object in an array by using a nested data id (string) instead of an array index (integer)?
Here's my data:
$scope.sizes = [
    {"dataId":"sm","label":"Small","price":8},
    {"dataId":"med","label":"Medium","price":10},
    {"dataId":"lg","label":"Large","price":11}
];
$scope.colors = [
    {"dataId":"red","label":"Brick Red","price":41},
    {"dataId":"blue","label":"Royal Blue","price":32},
    {"dataId":"green","label":"Forest Green","price":35}
];

I want to pre-populate the models with selected profile:
var coolShoe = {
    label:"Cool Shoe",
    size:"lg",
    color:"red"
}

I know how to set values with array indexes:
$scope.myShoe.size = $scope.sizes[2];
$scope.myShoe.color = $scope.colors[0];

But I want to do something like this (doesn't work):
$scope.myShoe.size = $scope.sizes.indexOf(coolShoe.size);
$scope.myShoe.color = $scope.colors.indexOf(coolShoe.color);

Is something like possible? Do I have the wrong data structure? Am i totally overlooking the obvious?
Thanks in advance!
Aaron

A: The code is using indexOf() to search for a string in an array of objects and it won't find it (and not to mention indexOf() returns an index, not the item).
You can write a function to search the array yourself. Another way to do this is to leverage the built in angular filter to search each array by dataId...
controllers.controller('myController', function($scope, $filter){

    // ...

    var coolShoe = {
        label:"Cool Shoe",
        size:"lg",
        color:"red"
    };

    $scope.myShoe.size = $filter('filter')($scope.sizes, { 'dataId': coolShoe.size })[0];
    $scope.myShoe.color = $filter('filter')($scope.colors, { 'dataId': coolShoe.color })[0];

});

JSFiddle

A: Though I'm not sure if it is good design you can achieve it with filters. Checkout the complete JS Bin. This will be your html:

  <meta charset="utf-8">
  <title>JS Bin</title>

Size: {{myShoe.size[0].label}}

Color: {{myShoe.color[0].label}}

and your javascript "app.js":
angular.module("App", [])
.controller("MainCtrl", function($scope, $filter) {
$scope.sizes = [
 {"dataId":"sm","label":"Small","price":8},
 {"dataId":"med","label":"Medium","price":10},
 {"dataId":"lg","label":"Large","price":11}
];
$scope.colors = [
 {"dataId":"red","label":"Brick Red","price":41},
 {"dataId":"blue","label":"Royal Blue","price":32},
 {"dataId":"green","label":"Forest Green","price":35}
];
$scope.coolShoe = {
 label:"Cool Shoe",
 size:"lg",
 color:"red"
};
$scope.myShoe = {};
$scope.myShoe.size = $filter('filter')($scope.sizes, $scope.coolShoe.size);
$scope.myShoe.color = $filter('filter')($scope.colors, $scope.coolShoe.color);
});

State Record Yellow Perch Caught in South Dakota
By Ben Romans
Aurora, South Dakota angler Chase Jensen was ice fishing on Bitter Lake on March 7th, 2015 and was able to hoist out a 2-pound, 13-ounce yellow perch that beat the state record by two ounces.
A story from NBC affiliate KDLT says yellow perch are one of the most sought-after game fish in the state, and this year's late ice conditions may have sent pre-spawn fish into a feeding frenzy.
The previous state perch record also came from Bitter Lake in 2004.

Q: Clickable URL Link formatting in CSV file Download in PHP I am offering the users the option to download tabular data from my PHP site webpage.
Once a user clicks on the available "Download as CSV/Excel" button, the data in the HTML table on the webpage is successfully downloaded in a CSV file.
All good till here and working fine with the help of following PHP code:
header("Content-type: text/csv");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=data.csv");
header("Pragma: no-cache");
header("Expires: 0");
...
...
...

$csvdata.="{$row['ProdName']},{$row['ProdQty']},{$row['ProdPrice']},Link,https://example.com/page1.html,"."\n";
echo $csvdata."\n";

Here is a screenshot of how data in CSV file when opened in MS Excel appears:

All is great for columns A, B and C.
However, for column D (or E), I want to incorporate a CLICKABLE URL link, such that when the user opens the downloaded CSV file in MS Excel, they should be able to get a clickable link which when clicked should take them to the respective webpage on my site in the browser.
Ideally, it should appear as the "More Details" blue link as seen in cells D9 and D10 in the screenshot.
As can be seen from the PHP code above, I have tried to use  for value in column D, and a direct text URL for column E, but neither is opening as clickable link when file is opened in Excel.
Any ways how to achieve it by modifying the PHP code?

A: Please use the HYPERLINK function for the CSV hyperlinks to work
Example (save as test.csv please) :
a, b, c, d ,"=HYPERLINK(""http://www.yahoo.com"",""See Yahoo"")"
e, f, g, h ,"=HYPERLINK(""http://www.yahoo.com"",""See Yahoo"")"

So , amend your code to use the above format such as:
<?php
header("Content-type: text/csv");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=data.csv");
header("Pragma: no-cache");
header("Expires: 0");

echo '1,2,3,"=HYPERLINK(""http://www.yahoo.com"",""See Yahoo"")"' . "," . '"=HYPERLINK(""http://www.google.com"",""Google"")"'."\n";
echo '8,7,6,"=HYPERLINK(""http://www.yahoo.com"",""See Yahoo"")"' . "," . '"=HYPERLINK(""http://www.google.com"",""Google"")"'."\n";

?>

A: "CSV" stands for "comma-separated values" (or sometimes "character-separated values") and that's literally all it is - a bunch of values, separated by commas (or some other character). It has no formatting, no interactivity, no special features, it's just data.
If you want a spreadsheet which includes custom formatting and features, you'll need to generate some other file format, like the "Open Office XML Spreadsheet" format (".xlsx") produced by Excel. That's not going to be as easy as putting together a CSV file, but there are libraries out there to help you do it, like PhpSpreadsheet. There is an example in the manual of how to make a cell clickable using that library; adapted to your example:
$spreadsheet->getActiveSheet()->setCellValue('D2', 'More Details');
$spreadsheet->getActiveSheet()->getCell('D2')->getHyperlink()->setUrl('https://example.com/page1.html')


Last week, President Obama released a list of 81 candidates across the country which have received his endorsement for their midterm election in November. In addition to lending his name to endorse candidates, President Obama will also be physically showing up to support candidates by appearing at rallies in decisive districts where it's believed his presence could help motivate the Democratic base.
Former President Barack Obama on Wednesday endorsed a "first wave" of Democratic candidates for the 2018 midterms.
Obama's list of 81 endorsements, which includes 48 women, notably did not include the rising star of the Democratic party, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York.
Ocasio-Cortez has been at the forefront of discussions surrounding the future of the party after her shocking victory against longtime Rep. Joe Crowley in the New York Democratic congressional primary in June. The self-declared Democratic socialist, who also worked on Sen. Bernie Sanders campaign, ran on a platform that puts her far to the left of many establishment Democrats.
Ocasio-Cortez is running a heavily blue Democratic district in New York City, she'll have no problem winning the race without any endorsement, but the question is whether her name was ignored as an intentional snub, or a mere oversight. Some progressive writers are crying foul, and some conservative websites are having a field day pointing out the "snub" as meaning that even Democrats think Cortez is too left-wing.
It's clear that President Obama's endorsement means something to everyone despite whether or not it actually helps a candidate in the voting booth. Being "on" or "off" the list carries some meaning beyond whether or not the candidate welcomes the endorsement.
In a tweet, the president made his case boasting of strong approval numbers, but did not specify which polls he was referencing.
With President Obama deciding to become personally involved, to the point of making campaign appearances, 2018 will be shaping up to be a Trump vs. Obama election where voters will subtly be pulling the lever for one man or the other in November.
President Obama, no doubt, will be pointing out all the things Democrats and moderates hate about the current President and urging voters to vote Democrat as a way to repudiate Trump.
On the other side, President Trump will be touting his economic numbers and contrasting the current economic growth rate to the weaker numbers seen during the Obama years. Trump will be asking voters to choose between a better economy under him, by voting Republican, to prevent the country from slipping back toward the slow-growth economic years of Obama.
Once we get past Labor Day, look for the 2018 campaign to kick into high gear as both parties dig in for two months of trench warfare.
Next articleIs Trump Trying to Lose Congress?
His endorsement of Hillary didn't work out. But she was her own worst enemy.
Maybe this time things will go better.

Thread: What Is Your Favorite Pet?
To keep in the house?
As much as I like cats, it's the only pet i have now in fact, I put other because I thought having a Hermit Crab as a pet was rather cool.
In case the pig option seems a bit weird, i got the idea from a friend of mine who used to study in Britain. He was studying agriculture and animal farming and reproduction, he was involved with pigs, cows, corn fields, etc.
So he tells me he used to bring little piggies in his house and have them as pets, taught them many things, to bring the newspapers and other complicated tasks and he was actually surprised how brilliant pigs are. So he had the piggy for a pet inside his house with his roomates, giving it a lot of food and once it gained weight and when in the right time he slaughtered it with his roomates and they were eating these pigs.

Big fluffy kitty cats. When I'm an old lady I forsee myself being "that crazy old lady with a house full of cats."
Dogs for me. I own a beloved classic fawn Boxer (docked and cropped) and they are the best dog in the world. Bred by the Germans to be the perfect dog. Doberman Pinschers and Giant Schnauzers come in 2nd and 3rd, with the Great Dane closing in on their heels very fast.
but it is the mystery in the cats' eyes that has stolen my heart..
Dogs are my favorite, cats second. Dogs are far more useful than cats. I prefer a good-sized dog, about 75lbs, as a watchdog. I enjoy always knowing when something is amiss on the homestead. The right breed of dog is ever watchful. To me, dogs are useful while cats are luxury (and a chore).


We've already discussed how evil carbs are in this article. Just to recap, carbs result in acute and chronically raised levels of insulin. Insulin is the chief fat-storing hormone in the body. Another (perhaps more important) role of insulin that few people know about is that it's also a powerful inhibitor of fat breakdown. Even if you restrict your calories and do lots of exercise so you are burning more calories than you are consuming, as long as your insulin levels are raised, your body will not be able to break down fat. Because insulin inhibits the very enzyme your body needs to break down fat – hormone sensitive lipase (HSL), and the enzyme your body needs to burn fat – CPT-1.
Insulin resistance is a chronic condition that develops over time on a high carbohydrate diet. But more recently in the 91st Annual Meeting of the Endocrine Society in Washington D.C. in 2009, researchers presented findings that suggest it isn't just long-term insulin resistance that causes low testosterone, but that sugar directly reduces testosterone levels almost immediately after consumption.
In the study, they found that downing a sugary drink can decrease your testosterone levels by up to 25%! Over 95% of the men in the study experienced lower testosterone levels that lasted for hours after a 75 gram glucose drink. It didn't matter whether the men had excellent insulin sensitivity, had insulin resistance or full-on diabetes, the results were the same regardless.
So as I've already discussed, consider avoiding all carbs (except for fruits and vegetables, which are very micronutrient dense), especially refined carbs like white rice, white pasta, white spaghetti, cakes, biscuits, crackers, chocolate, cereals, donuts etc.


the writings under blood and bones are the magic of words arising when we are going through something – deep grief, deep awareness, deep repentance, deep hope. I believe it is important to speak these words, unpolished as they might be, because in not doing so, we court isolation, and isolation leads to estrangement, hopelessness, and utter despair. speak your words. they are welcome.
Have you felt it? That deep pull to go explore to follow the unknown into who knows?

What concrete ideas could reduce federal barriers for entrepreneurs trying to start and scale companies?
To date there have been over 200 replies. Over 25% of those replies have to do with capital formation! No other issue adds up to as high a percent as that. And the suggestions range from access to capital to tax credits to regulatory changes.
Obviously small businesses and entrepreneurs need access to capital to grow their businesses, innovate and hire Americans. Our suggestion: Have the SEC create a $1M exemption for Crowd Fund Investing, as voted by the users, is the #1 idea on Startup America's website!
Now is the time! Our idea is part of the solution! Thank you all for your support and let's tell Washington to make it legal for the average American to take a few dollars and invest it in our community entrepreneurs!


How inspiring she is! I had always known of her as an art collector but I had no idea how ahead of her time she was. Her life story was very engaging.
Great doc. She made such a large impact on art. Very sad about the tragedy in her family. From different things they say about her family it sounds like her family members had some serious mental health troubles - possibly ocd, definitely depression, suicide, etc. It's unfortunate that back then they didn't have the help available that they do now. Very interesting doc.
An amazing lady, ahead of her time. Able to cast off society's judgements of her colorful and tragic personal life and live her life according to her own rules. Putting her passion for art before everything, including her own children, may irk a little, but there's no denying the important role she has played in identifying and supporting some of today's great masters and she's certainly left an important legacy behind her.

Exposure to Radiofrequency Energy from Cellular Telephones
What type of energy does a cellular phone use?
Cell phones (and cell phone towers) use low-powered radiofrequency (RF) energy, a type of non-ionizing radiation. Non-ionizing radiation is not able to break the chemical bonds in your body.
Can this energy be absorbed by the body?
The amount of RF energy absorbed by the body depends on a number of factors including how close you hold the cell phone to your body, and the strength of the signal. According to Health Canada, cell phones are designed to use the lowest power necessary to connect and make calls using a network of fixed, low-power cell phone towers or base stations. The phones and towers must comply with Health Canada's guidelines in terms of human exposure to RF energy.
The World Health Organization (WHO) states that phones only transmit power when they are turned on, and that this power (and the corresponding RF exposure to a user) decreases very rapidly with increasing distance from the source. For example, when text messaging, the phone unit is held at arm's length away from the body (about 30-40 cm) and this distance results in a much lower exposure than when a unit is held near a person's head. Using a hands-free device will also increase the distance of the phone unit from the body.
Are there health risks from cell phones?
The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classified radiofrequency electromagnetic fields as Class 2B "possibly carcinogenic to humans". The Class 2B is used "for agents for which there is limited evidence of carcinogenicity in humans and less than sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity in experimental animals". IARC examined available literature about personal exposures associated with the use of wireless telephones, in addition to occupational exposures to radar and microwaves, and environmental exposures associated with transmission of signals for radio, television and wireless communication. They concluded that there is "limited" evidence among users of wireless telephones for glioma (a type of brain cancer) and acoustic neuroma (a non-cancerous tumor of the nerve that connects the ear to the brain). They did not find adequate evidence to make conclusions about other types of cancers or exposures. IARC announced that while there was some evidence to support the 2B classification, more studies are required before further conclusions can be made.
Health Canada adds that "the evidence of a possible link between RF energy exposure and cancer risk is far from conclusive and more research is needed to clarify this 'possible' link. Health Canada is in agreement with both the World Health Organization and IARC that additional research in this area is warranted."
Health Canada continues, and adds the following precautions:
"Although the RF energy from cell phones poses no confirmed health risks, cell phone use is not entirely risk-free. Studies have shown that:
Using cell phones or other wireless devices can be distracting. Your risk of serious injury may increase if you use these devices while driving, walking, cycling, or doing any other activity that requires concentration for personal safety.
Cell phones may interfere with medical devices such as cardiac pacemakers, defibrillators, and hearing aids.
Cell phones may also interfere with other sensitive electronic equipment, such as aircraft communication and navigation systems.
With respect to cell phone towers, as long as exposures respect the limits set in Health Canada's guidelines, there is no scientific reason to consider cell phone towers dangerous to the public."
"Health Canada also encourages parents to ... reduce their children's RF exposure from cell phones since children are typically more sensitive to a variety of environmental agents".

What precautions can I take if I am concerned about RF exposure?
Precautions may include:
Limit the number and length of calls (time spent talking on the phone)
Use hands-free devices
Send a text message instead of talking on the phone
Encourage children to reduce the time they spend on cell phones
In addition, the use of cell phones or other devices can be distracting. Do not drive or participate in other activities that require attention for your personal safety while using the phone. Please see the OSH Answers document Driving Tips - Using Cellular Telephones and Other Devices for examples.
Are there guidelines about RF exposure?
Health Canada's guideline document "Limits of Human Exposure to Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Energy in the Frequency Range from 3 kHz to 300 GHz" (commonly referred to as Safety Code 6) establishes protection measures.
