Armenian Genocide Monument Unveiled in Sydney
Leave a Comment / Culture, World / April 14, 2022 April 14, 2022
SYDNEY (PanARMENIAN.Net) — A monument was unveiled this week in Sydney's Northern Beaches dedicated to the lives of past, present, and future Armenians.
The eight-meter-high monument was unveiled at the Frenchs Forest Bushland Cemetery, in the presence of Jonathan O'Dea, Speaker of the New South Wales (NSW) Legislative Assembly and Chair of the NSW Armenia-Australia Parliamentary Friendship Group, Armenian-Australian community, and religious leaders and members of the community.
The monument was commissioned by Northern Metropolitan Cemeteries Land Manager and designed by Armenian-Australian architect, Andre Vahagn Vartan-Boghossian paying tribute to the 1.5 million Armenian lives lost during the Armenian Genocide, perpetrated by the Ottoman Empire between 1915 and 1923.
Boghossian explained: "The stone base of the monument represents Armenian historic culture and knowledge, as a tree rooted in the earth where the Armenians of the past rest."
"Portrayed in the break of the stone is the Armenian Genocide of 1915, an event that defines all Armenians' identity today and when the culture was once on the brink of coming to a halt. Out of the trunk blossoms the continuation of this culture in a new form, no longer in stone but in bronze. It is a new culture, augmented by the past and flowering in Australia," he added.

Air monitoring is used to test the air for the presence of airborne asbestos fibres. Air monitoring allows the effectiveness of control measures and potential exposure to asbestos to be assessed. The air monitoring must be done in accordance with the Safe Work Australia Guidance Note on the Membrane Filter Method for Estimating Airborne Asbestos Fibres 2nd Edition.
Who is responsible for organising the air monitoring?
If you have organised the removal of asbestos in a workplace, it is your responsibility to organise an independent asbestos assessor who was not involved in the removal work to do the air monitoring.
If you are a homeowner who has hired a licensed asbestos removalist to remove asbestos from your residential premises, your licensed asbestos removalist is responsible for organising the air monitoring.
Air monitoring must be done before the start and during removal of friable asbestos (Class A removal). If the glove bag technique is being used, air monitoring is only required during the removal work. If you are uncertain as to whether the exposure standard for asbestos is likely to be exceeded, air monitoring must be carried out during any asbestos related work. In addition air monitoring may be required as part of the clearance inspection.
Who is qualified to do the air monitoring?
For friable asbestos removal, an independent licensed asbestos assessor must be contracted to do the air monitoring when it is required.
For non-friable asbestos removal (more than 10 m²), an independent licensed asbestos assessor or competent person must be contracted to do the air monitoring when it is required.
An occupational hygienist or a person who has a statement of attainment in the VET course for asbestos assessors (CPCCBC5014A Conduct asbestos assessment associated with removal) should be competent to conduct air monitoring for asbestos fibres, if they have experience with asbestos and asbestos containing material.
To be considered independent the asbestos assessor or competent person must not have been involved in the removal work or be involved or part of the business hired to do the removal work.
A list of licensed asbestos assessors is available on the NT WorkSafe website.

2022 was a breakthrough season for KingsWay School in the Auckland Mountain Biking Series.
KingsWay hasn't been represented at the Nationals before, but this year David Howie packed his bags and his bike and headed south as an unheralded and unseeded rider, proudly flying the KWS flag. Lots to learn, the weirdness and tiredness of competing out of a suitcase and far from home and comfort zone. But that's the arena.
David carried himself with focus, determination, and sportsmanship. Bunched in the pack behind the nationally seeded racers David fought his way up the Under-17 field of about 40 riders to finish an admirable 6th in a very gritty effort. And he brought back a whole bunch of lessons from this southern adventure.
But 2022's adventures weren't yet over – the last stop of the season was the Whaka 100 in Rotorua, a high-profile national all-age competition. David competed in the Eliminator event run in downtown Rotorua – crowds, live-streaming, and a host of internationally (UCI) ranked competitors. Even Anton Cooper was there, New Zealand's highest-ranked international XC racer, a national hero in mountain biking. All competitors had to do an individual time-trial lap and only the top 32 got to progress to the small group racing stages. To his surprise and delight David qualified. And spotting Anton Cooper he took his chance to meet him, a real highlight. That would have been enough, but as the names for the next round of racing went up, to his utter astonishment he saw that he was racing Anton himself – unbelievable! To line up at the start with this titan, to race him shoulder to shoulder, was beyond anything he'd imagined.
Congratulations David, KingsWay is proud of your achievements so far and we look forward to what the future holds for you.


"A woman had been afflicted with a hemorrhage for a dozen years...She had heard about Jesus and came up behind him in a crowd and put her hand on his cloak. 'If I just touch his clothing,' she thought, 'I shall get well'...Immediately her flow of blood dried up... Wheeling about in the crowd, he began to ask, 'Who touched my clothing?' ...Fearful and beginning to tremble now...she fell in front of him and told him the whole truth. He said to her, 'Daughter it is your faith that has cured you...'"
St. Luke presents to us two other miracles, Jairus' daughter raised to life, and the cure of the woman with a hemorrhage. The reason for this repetition of prodigious acts is to let our belief take deeper root in the truth that Jesus is Lord, God, and Messiah, who has come to redeem the human race. He presents us His Mission through His divine work, to consolidate our faith in Him. Didn't the Jews ask often " who can raise from the dead except God? Who can clean uncleanness except Yahweh? Who can forgive sins but God alone?" Yes, Luke with the other Evangelists lays his proof of the Divine Nature on the work done by Jesus.
While Jesus is talking with a respected man, Jairus, about the illness of his daughter, the Lord said: "Who touched me?" Isn't His intention to postpone the conversation with Jairus, just to tell us that our belief in Him is enough to cure our soul and our illness?. This lady, suffering for years from a condition considered unclean according to Jewish Law was therefore, declared unclean.
She had spent all she had on doctors, and medicines and no one could cure her. It did not happen through medications, but a touch of the cloak of Jesus was enough to be cured. Jesus said: "a power has gone out of me." This power is regarded as a physical emanation that heals. Jesus heals by contact, to show us the power of his humanity. "My daughter your faith has restored you to health, go in peace." (Luke 8-48).
On the other hand this lady came incognito, not only from a sense of shame but also because the complaint involved legal impurity. Again Jesus said: "My daughter go in peace, your faith has restored your health." What a trust, what a strong faith, and what a confidence this lady had in Jesus! Our request must be done in faith and in humility. It means the more we believe the greater is our humility.
In the second miracle of the Gospel, St. Luke tells us that the petitioner, Jairus, prostrates himself, knowing that he is a respected elder, who presides over meetings in the Synagogue. Is not this act of prostration like our way of submission to the high ranking authority? In our tradition, do we not salute, bow and immediately stand up while we place the right hand on the breast, then the lips and than the forehead? This is the way to express total submission, which could be translated with the word "adoration and worship."
Two different miracles, but both are given `life.' The lady is suffering since twelve years, and the girl is twelve years old; the author wants to tell us that both are in the same situation, and only Jesus can give them life again. Should we not meditate on the fact that Jesus is the only Medicine who can restore life? Life does not mean only bodily health, but spiritual health and ultimately the Resurrection to eternal life, in His company. Isn't His mission to restore the Kingdom of God, Eternal Happiness with God, in Him and through Him?

01011001 je sedmé studiové album hudebního projektu Ayreon nizozemského hudebníka Arjena Lucassena. Vydáno bylo 25. ledna 2008 prostřednictvím vydavatelství Inside Out Music. Práce na albu začaly v roce 2006, během roku 2007 ale Lucassen začal trpět depresemi způsobenými jednak rozvodem a jednak ztrátou čichu. To se podepsalo na desce, která je oproti předchozím albům hodně temná. 01011001 je v binárním kódu číslo 89, to odpovídá písmenu Y v ASCII tabulce znaků, což je jméno planety takzvané rasy Věčných. Okolo této rasy se také odehrává koncepční příběh alba.

El factor promotor de la maduración (MPF, por sus siglas en inglés: Maturation Promoting Factor) es una proteína heterodimérica que promueve los ciclos celulares de la mitosis y la meiosis. Está compuesta por ciclina B o ciclina A y una quinasa dependiente de la ciclina. Bajo la influencia del MPF, la célula sale del estado G2 del ciclo celular y procede a la división celular por medio de la fosforilación de múltiples proteínas requeridas para la mitosis. La MPF es activada por una fosfatasa al final de G2.

The Palace of Fine Arts in the Marina District of San Francisco, California, is a monumental structure originally constructed for the 1915 Panama-Pacific Exposition
The Palace of Fine Arts was built for the 1915 Panama Pacific Exhibition. It was designed by Bernard Maybeck. Sentimental San Franciscans saved it from its planned demolition after the exhibition.
The Panama Pacific International Exposition was the 1915 worlds fair held in San Francisco, California. Taking over three years to construct, the fair had great economic implications for the city that had been almost destroyed by the great earthquake and fire of 1906. The exposition was a tremendous success, and did much to boost the morale of the entire Bay Area and to help get San Francisco back up on its feet. One of only a few surviving structures from the Exposition, it is still situated on its original site. It was rebuilt in 1965, and renovation of the lagoon, walkways, and a seismic retrofit were completed in early 2009.
While the Palace had been saved from demolition, its original structure was not stable. Originally intended to only stand for the duration of the Exhibition, the colonnade and rotunda were not built of durable materials, and thus framed in wood and then covered with staff, a mixture of plaster and burlap-type fiber. As a result of the construction and vandalism, by the 1950s the simulated ruin was in fact a crumbling ruin.
In 1964, the original Palace was completely demolished, with only the steel structure of the exhibit hall left standing. The buildings were then reconstructed in permanent, light-weight, poured-in-place concrete, and steel I-beams were hoisted into place for the dome of the rotunda. All the decorations and sculpture were constructed anew. The only changes were the absence of the murals in the dome, two end pylons of the colonnade, and the original ornamentation of the exhibit hall.

Shabani Nonda, né le  à Bujumbura (Burundi), est un ancien footballeur international congolais qui évoluait au poste d'attaquant.

Biographie

Enfance, exil et débuts précoces
Né au Burundi de parents zaïrois, Shabani Nonda est très tôt remarqué pour sa qualité de buteur : à quinze ans, il joue déjà avec des adultes et s'impose comme la vedette de l'équipe première de l'Atlético Olympic, petit club de D2 de Bujumbura. Quelques billets glissent dans ses poches pour améliorer le quotidien des siens. Le grand club de la ville cherche à le recruter. L'affaire est vite réglée, le contrat signé et l'argent encaissé. Mais au début de cette année 1994, la capitale burundaise est un bain de sang. Comme beaucoup d'autres familles, les Nonda s'exilent. Le père d'origine zaïroise décide de ramener sa famille sur ses terres natales. Mais Shabani, dix-sept ans, prend la route sud-est en compagnie d'un de ses grands frères vers la Tanzanie.

Après avoir arpenté les rues de la capitale tanzanienne et observé les entraînements de formations de D1, Nonda se présente aux dirigeants des Young Africans, champions en titre. Précédé par une solide réputation de buteur surdoué, colportée par des exilés, et chaudement recommandé par des amis, un accord est vite trouvé. Lors de son exil en Tanzanie, il joue pour les Young Africans et gagne dès la première saison la Coupe Kagame Inter-Club. En 1994, il gagne son deuxième trophée, la Coupe de Tanzanie et décide de changer de club fin 1994. Il s'engage donc pour la saison 1995 avec les Vaal Professionals, club sud-africain disparu depuis. L'aventure dure dix mois, le temps d'être sacré champion et meilleur buteur puis d'inscrire les quatre buts en qualification en Coupe d'Afrique face aux  (2-2 et 2-1). Trois mois après cet exploit, il débarque en Afrique du Sud, chez ces mêmes . Il devient enfin professionnel. Malgré une intégration compliquée, il marque douze buts lors des six premiers mois. Un agent argentin de passage lui offre le voyage pour l'Europe.

Découverte de l'Europe avec Zurich et Rennes (1995-2000)
Un jour de , sous la neige et le froid, Shabani effectue ses premières courses sous le maillot du FC Zurich. Après une mi-temps, il impose à l'entraîneur Raimondo Ponte de faire son choix et refuse de jouer la seconde. Ponte cède, déjà séduit par les arguments techniques et physiques. Afin de l'aider à s'adapter rapidement, celui-ci l'héberge durant trois mois. Mis en confiance, bien encadré, il démontre alors rapidement son réalisme, finissant meilleur buteur de la poule relégation. Inarrêtable, il fait encore mieux la saison suivante. Associé au Nigérian Rashidi Yekini à la pointe de l'attaque zurichoise, il inscrit 24 buts et décroche le titre de Soulier d'or du Championnat suisse. Son club qualifié pour la Coupe de l'UEFA, il obtient son bon de sortie.

Shabani n'a que vingt ans et, sage et conseillé par son agent John Dario, il opte pour une étape intermédiaire avant de rejoindre un grand club européen. Épris du football français dont il maitrise la langue, il répond favorablement aux nouvelles ambitions du Stade rennais. Pour 23 MF, record du club breton, il débarque au stade de la Route-de-Lorient à la mi-. Après une courte période d'adaptation, il devient très vite le nouveau péril breton, inscrit neuf buts en dix-huit journées et participe au renouveau rennais placé juste derrière le duo girondo-olympien à la mi-décembre. La première année, il incarne le renouveau du club en inscrivant 15 buts et en contribuant fortement à la qualification du Stade rennais en Coupe Intertoto via une cinquième place dans le championnat de France. Sa seconde saison au Stade rennais est moins bonne ( du championnat) mais il maintient son efficacité et marque 16 buts.

Consécration à Monaco (2000-2005)
Il est transféré à l'AS Monaco, tout frais champion de France 2000 afin de pallier le départ de David Trezeguet, pour 20 millions d'euros. Sa première expérience de Ligue des champions est de courte durée. En effet, l'ASM, sévèrement affaiblie par les départs de Willy Sagnol, Fabien Barthez, David Trezeguet et Sabri Lamouchi entre autres, ne réussit pas à franchir le premier tour.

Il faut attendre l'arrivée de Didier Deschamps pour que le carré qu'il forme avec Jérôme Rothen, Ludovic Giuly, et Dado Prso donne toute satisfaction. L'année 2003 marque l'apothéose de sa carrière avec une coupe de la Ligue gagnée contre le FC Sochaux et un titre de meilleur buteur du championnat (26 buts).

Au début de la saison 2003-2004, , il marque trois buts lors des trois premiers matches mais son élan est coupé par une luxation de la rotule gauche avec arrachement des ligaments sur une action spectaculaire où le parisien José-Karl Pierre-Fanfan retombe sur sa jambe gauche. Son indisponibilité est de huit mois et il ne rejoue que le  face à l'AC Ajaccio.

Ses performances en ligue des champions 2003-2004 lui offrent une certaine réputation sur le plan européen. Il s'illustre notamment en marquant le but éliminant Chelsea en demi-finale.

En 2004-2005, malgré les départs de Ludovic Giuly, Jérôme Rothen, Fernando Morientes et Dado Prso, il devient remplaçant à la suite des arrivées de Javier Saviola et Ernesto Chevantón et du replacement d'Emmanuel Adebayor en pointe. Il ne joue que 10 matchs de Ligue 1 et ne marque aucun but durant la saison.

Fin à Rome, Blackburn puis Galatasaray (2005-2010)

En 2005, il est en fin de contrat avec Monaco et s'engage à l'AS Rome pour trois saisons. Sa première saison romaine est difficile à cause d'une blessure au genou et il est prêté aux Blackburn Rovers la saison suivante pour se relancer. Il réalise une saison correcte et désire rester en Angleterre.

Au mercato d'été 2007, les Rovers ne lèvent cependant pas l'option d'achat et il signe en faveur du club turc de Galatasaray SK pour un contrat de deux ans. Il retrouve la réussite en marquant 15 buts lors de sa première saison et se qualifie pour la Ligue des champions. La saison suivante, Nonda ne connaît cependant pas la même réussite et il est peu utilisé par l'entraîneur stambouliote.

En , son contrat est annulé par Galatasaray, avant la fin de celui-ci prévu en .

Reconversion
Depuis 2013, il est le mécène de l'Amicale sportive Dragons Bilima, il en occupe également le poste de conseiller football.

En septembre 2021, il intègre la 12ème promotion 2021-2023 du DU Manager Général du CDES de Limoges.

In an interview with TV Patrol, the singer said she and her husband, Jason Hernandez, have been friends with the former couple. She also admitted to being the "biggest fan" of JoshLia.

Ellen Adarna describes energy with Derek Ramsay as "intense"
Aside from those, Moira also shared she and Jason could not think of any other artists fit for the song's message.
"We just couldn't think of anyone else who could be as raw and as natural in conveying a message about forgiveness."
"I believe that this was the closure that we all needed. The message of my entire album and the entire season that I wrote with my husband is about forgiveness and letting go," Moira added.
"Paubaya" music video, which was released on February 14, has over 19.7 million views on YouTube as of this writing.

Where downtown Manhattan and north Brooklyn intersect.
At Spectacle's 'Virtual Cinematheque,' You're Free to Chat During the Movie
April 6, 2020 By Daniel Maurer
Talking and texting is strictly verboten in New York City's indie theaters, as evidenced by Lin-Manuel Miranda and Janeane Garofalo's no-nonsense PSAs for Alamo Drafthouse. But on Saturday evening, as Spectacle Theater presented highlights from the first season of cult Canadian tv show Cowboy Who?, the commentary was flying fast and furious.
"This is like Eric Andre on meth," opined one viewer of the Pee-wee Herman-esque 1990s kid's show.
"Knock-off Canadian Elmo," judged another viewer of one of the puppets.
They were commenting via Twitch, the popular streaming platform where Spectacle has started showing its eclectic array of content in the wake of New York's coronavirus lockdown.
While other local indie theaters have teamed up with distributors to stream movies online, the Williamsburg microcinema, as you'd expect, is doing it in a decidedly more DIY manner. Last week, the volunteer-run theater took its programming to Twitch, a platform more often used by video-game obsessives to stream their live gameplay to followers.
"We're all gamers now," joked Caroline Golum, one of Spectacle's volunteer programmers. "We're all basically just shut-ins who have to deal with these weird new media and platforms and stuff like that."
Spectacle decided to shut down its 35-seat theater, located in a former bodega, on March 12, about a week before New York ordered all non-essential businesses to close. Almost immediately, its non-hierarchical collective of volunteers gathered via Google Groups and began brainstorming ways to continue programming its unique mix of foreign repertory films, underground cinema, live scores, "remixes," and other "movies that are overlooked by the bulk of this industry," per Golum. They settled on Twitch to create what she calls a "virtual cinematheque."
On April 1, "Spectacle in Exile" launched with a screening of Empty Metal, using OBS, an open-source encoder, to send the stream from a volunteer's computer to Spectacle's Twitch channel, where followers could watch and comment in real time. And that they did.
While some might find the chat box distracting, Golum notes that "it creates this weird simulacrum of the communal experience, because you're all watching something but you can also engage with something while you're watching." After the film, in which members of a Brooklyn queer noise band become vigilante assassins, there was a Q&A with directors Adam Khalil and Bayley Sweitzer.
Thanks in part to a sympathetic plug from Anthology Film Archives, where Empty Metal had a theatrical run in December, the screening drew about 275 viewers— about eight times the capacity of Spectacle's theater on South 3rd Street. While tickets there are normally $5 to $10, this screening was free, though viewers were invited to contribute to Spectacle via Paypal or become members via Withfriends. (In case you're wondering, Golum says the theater is doing "okay for now," financially.)
Upcoming streams include a pair of 1950s/60s exploitation films, Teenage Gang Debs and Girl Gang, originally slated to play in March as part of the theater's teenage girl gang series; an Earth Day compilation of videos made by environmental groups and eco-activists from the 1980s-1990s; two films by leftist French filmmaker Michele Rosier; and a rebroadcast of the Weather Channel's 1982 debut, described as "a relaxing ambient sound bath to remind us of the outside world."
While Golum emphasizes that Spectacle's programmers normally clear the rights to everything they screen, she says that Twitch's lack of pay-per-view capabilities has forced them to suspend their usual model of giving filmmakers and distributors a cut. "As much as we'd love to be in a position where we're paying people with cost of admission, we're not there yet. But we hope to be there in the future," Golum said.
"The real dream," she added, "is that by the time we figure out how to do that, we've flattened the curve and the theater is back open."

Maryland's First Hospital-Based Milk Depot Opened at Adventist HealthCare Shady Grove Medical Center
January 29, 2020 ∙ by vmbernard ∙ in Adventist HealthCare, Health Systems
Story by Tina Sheesley
Thousands of new moms each year get support from Adventist HealthCare Shady Grove Medical Center, including guidance from internationally recognized lactation consultants. Now, those breastfeeding experts have opened Maryland's first hospital-based milk depot to better connect area moms with extra breast milk to babies in need.
The depot gives moms who deliver at Shady Grove a new choice for feeding babies who are premature or who require additional nutrition: safe donor breast milk. For local nursing moms with extra milk, the depot provides a convenient way to donate the surplus.
The Benefits of Breast Milk
Human milk protects against allergies, helps fight disease and provides growth hormones that help babies develop. Breast milk's benefits are especially important for the 1 in every 10 babies who is born prematurely in the United States. In Shady Grove's Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, which cares for 500 premature babies a year, access to donor milk lifts the stress from moms who want their babies breastfed but need time to build their own supply.
"Each donor makes a huge difference for families in need of breast milk. In fact, just one ounce of donor milk can feed four premature babies," said Carol Chornock, RN, a certified lactation consultant at Shady Grove. "We are so excited to be able to offer this service for our moms and babies."
Shady Grove's partner for the depot, The King's Daughters Milk Bank of Norfolk, Virginia, is one of 26 accredited U.S. milk banks, which carefully screen, test and pasteurize donated milk to ensure its safety. Potential milk donors are screened much like blood donors. They provide medical and lifestyle histories and undergo blood tests. Once cleared, moms drop off frozen milk at the hospital. After the drop-off, Shady Grove's lactation consultants send donated milk to The King's Daughters, where it is bottled, pasteurized and stored in a freezer until a baby needs it.
Local moms say they appreciate a safe, convenient way to donate their breast milk.
"After my daughter was born, I realized I was overproducing milk," said Polina Yershova of Poolesville. "I have more than 2,000 ounces of milk saved up among four freezers. I wanted to donate somewhere locally and saw that Shady Grove had a program. I couldn't think of a better way to use my excess milk than to give it to babies who need it most."

Brutes vs. Bombshells – The Truth about Women's Tackle and Lingerie Football – Part 2
Part 2: The Legends Football League – We ARE Athletes
A common stereotype associated with the LFL is that they're not "real" athletes. There's no denying that the women who play in the LFL are athletes. The majority come from a sports background, former high school athletes, and most participate d in Division 3 to Division 1 sports. KK Matheny, quarterback from the Seattle Mist, played high school and Division 2 basketball and in her 5th year of the LFL, thinks it is the most competitive level of any sport she has ever played. In a phone interview she said "The league is showcasing phenomenal women athletes."
In the 2014 season, the top 3 passing teams in the LFL had similar passing yards per game as the NFL, averaging between 175 and 260 yards per game. In 2014 the Chicago Bliss led the league in passing yards, averaging 200 yards per game in reach of Super bowl Champions, the Seattle Seahawks, who averaged 203. Coach Keith Hac, head coach for the Chicago Bliss and former Arena Football Coach, commented on the league's transition from the "model look" to real athletes "it's true football, true athletic players that have taken over."
The LFL premiered in 2009 as a spin-off of the Lingerie Bowl, a pay-per-view event that aired alternative to the Super Bowl's halftime show. From that the LFL was born. Originally called the Lingerie Football League, the league was re-branded in 2013 as the Legends Football League. In its early years rosters consisted of players that were trying to boost their modeling careers or trying to get TV time. Today, the league's rosters consist of athletes. The LFL is home to 10 teams nationwide and has also spread to Australia and Canada.
There is a certain physique required to play in the league. When asked about physique requirements, former LFL Media/Talent Relations Coordinator, Tyler DeHaven found it "hard to comment." He did disclose the differences between tackle football and LFL gear. In the LFL instead of traditional football helmets, they wear hockey helmets, and custom shoulder, elbow, and knee pads. Matheny was also vague when asked about the league's physique requirements, she did speak to the fact that there are no height or weight requirements, but she did say that the physical expectations for the players varied for each person. "You have to be in shape, you have to be in football shape." – Matheny. In a YouTube video published by Vocativ in April 2014, Matheny, was shown pre game getting spray tanned by a teammate, and disclosed that it's a league requirement to be tan.
One of the biggest questions that I had for the interviewees was what type of image the LFL sends to young girls. Most of the interviewees spoke to the fact that there are more women and families that attend the LFL games than when the league first started. Dehaven's thoughts on the message it sends to young girls, "You can play football, and you can be a beast, and be fit, and strong, and play a sport similar to men, and get the same respect." But do they get the same respect as men? I asked Matheny, how it made her feel that athletes in the NFL bring in fans fully clothed, and they have to show skin to generate a fan base. Her response "It's not fair, at the same time it's what makes us unique to women's sports." In my opinion, the LFL to a young girl says you can play tackle football, you can be an aggressive and tough athlete, IF you are half-naked, IF you are beautiful, and IF you fit a certain body type.
Coach Keith Hac made a point about attractiveness and female athletes "When you really start to think about it, when you start to equate exceptional fitness and athleticism, that person tends to be attractive." This is an interesting point; however, female athletes in the LFL are portrayed as sexual objects, instead of the accomplished athletes they are. This takes away from their talent and their athletic ability on the grid iron.
So why not play tackle football? The WFA/IWFL and LFL exist independently of one another, why does one chose to play in one league versus the other. Both leagues are striving to make women's tackle football a professional sport, why divide and segment into three leagues. According to KK Matheny, "I honestly would probably get murdered by some of the defensive girls that play in the tackle leagues. I like the quick fast pace of the arena style opposed to tackle football."
According to Matheny "People always come for the uniform, but they stay for the level of athleticism that me and my teammates have." What would happen if one of the LFL players suited up for a game in football pants, and a full jersey? If the fans are there for the competition, to support women's professional sports, and to see great athletes perform, would they stay if the women were fully clothed? It's an interesting question, and I wonder if any of these athletes would ever dare to try?

debsign mimics the signing aspects (and bugs) of dpkg-buildpackage(1). It takes either an unsigned .dsc file or an unsigned .changes file (along with the associated unsigned .dsc file found by replacing the architecture name and .changes by .dsc if it appears in the .changes file), and signs them using the GNU Privacy Guard. It is careful to calculate the size and checksums of the newly signed .dsc file and replace the original values in the .changes file.
If a .changes, .dsc or .commands file is specified, it is signed, otherwise, debian/changelog is parsed to determine the name of the .changes file to look for in the parent directory.
If a .commands file is specified it is first validated (see the details at ftp://ftp.upload.debian.org/pub/UploadQueue/README), and the name specified in the Uploader field is used for signing.
This utility is useful if a developer must build a package on one machine where it is unsafe to sign it; they need then only transfer the small .dsc and .changes files to a safe machine and then use the debsign program to sign them before transferring them back. This process can be automated in two ways. If the files to be signed live on the remote machine, the -r option may be used to copy them to the local machine and back again after signing. If the files live on the local machine, then they may be transferred to the remote machine for signing using debrsign(1).
This program can take default settings from the devscripts configuration files, as described below.
The .changes and .dsc files live on the specified remote host. In this case, a .changes file must be explicitly named, with an absolute directory or one relative to the remote home directory. scp will be used for the copying. The [username@]remotehost:changes syntax is permitted as an alternative. Wildcards (* etc.) are allowed.
When debsign needs to execute GPG to sign it will run progname (searching the PATH if necessary), instead of gpg.
Same as -m but takes precedence over it.
Specify the key ID to be used for signing; overrides any -m and -e options.
Look for a source-only .changes file instead of a binary-build .changes file.
See dpkg-architecture(1) for a description of these options. They affect the search for the .changes file. They are provided to mimic the behaviour of dpkg-buildpackage when determining the name of the .changes file.
Multiarch .changes mode: This signifies that debsign should use the most recent file with the name pattern package_version_*+*.changes as the .changes file, allowing for the .changes files produced by dpkg-cross.
Recreate signature, respectively use the existing signature, if the file has been signed already. If neither option is given and an already signed file is found the user is asked if he or she likes to use the current signature.
Look for the .changes and .dsc files in directory DIR instead of the parent of the source directory. This should either be an absolute path or relative to the top of the source directory.
Setting this is equivalent to giving a -p option.
This is the -m option.
And this is the -k option.
Always re-sign files even if they are already signed, without prompting.
This specifies the directory in which to look for the .changes and .dsc files, and is either an absolute path or relative to the top of the source tree. This corresponds to the --debs-dir command line option. This directive could be used, for example, if you always use pbuilder or svn-buildpackage to build your packages. Note that it also affects debrelease(1) in the same way, hence the strange name of the option.

Good God, Shopify knows how to put on a conference for their partners and developers! It was by far the best work conference I've been to in my career, and I've been to my fair share throughout the years.
Several months ago, I received my very first email inviting me to "Unite" with other fellow Shopify partner and developer enthusiasts — the first ever conference that the company has put on (and certainly not the last!) to be housed in beautiful, tech-centric, San Francisco. As ecommerce developers at TheGenieLab, we have wanted to start our conference circuit this year, and what better way to do it than a Shopify event in a fantastic city.
Prior to the event, I confirmed with some of my colleagues and friends who were also planning on attending the conference just so I wasn't wandering around on my own. As it turns out, everyone was a no show, and I was in fact on my own for all of a few hours prior to the first night's mixer. I arrived in San Francisco during Monday afternoon with just a few short hours between checking in and the first night's mixer hosted by Shopify. This particular night was a smart decision to have tiny digestable breakout sessions, as they decided to have several of these mixers throughout the city to keep things quaint and give everyone the opportunity to meet some folks in the Shopify ecosystem. That night alone, I met some ever-lasting connections!
Tuesday was day 1 of the conference where around 800 people gathered outside of the Herbst Pavillion awaiting the doors to open. The build up was magical and by the time Tobi Lütke, the CEO of Shopify entered the stage directly after COO Harley Finkelstein, the energy in the auditorium was explosive.
Tobi started out by considering his audience, us — the developers & partners that make up the Shopify ecosystem. And he uttered the exact words that I have been saying for the past year and a half of being in this space, "Opportunity is Everywhere." He had me at that line alone, but it is so true. This is the first time in a very long time in my sales career that the opportunities are endless. We can decide who we want to work with, and how, to the most part. What a great space to be in, and a tremendous feeling to know that door openings are filled with endless opportunities. He went on to discuss how Shopify does not approach revenue as the primary source of the business. He understands that by building the platform and feeding it's ecosystem (developers, partners, etc.) - keeping that as the focus — leads to the revenue. I was sold. Kool- aid was drunk. And the rest of the conference continued to hold court.
I'll save the exact details which include the updates discussed, but suffice it to say, they were nothing short of mind blowing! You either watched the live stream, were there, or I'll leave it to Shopify to announce what they want to, but there were many a chill up and down my spine throughout the day 1/2 of being submerged in all that is Shopify; specifically related to Shopify Plus.
Full disclosure: I am not ecommerce platform agnostic like the rest of TheGenieLab team. I am a bonafide Shopify fan-girl enthusiast. My take away from the conference is: You will all get there too -whether it be today, tomorrow or in 5 years from now, they are crushing the competition and are really carving out a 'league of their own' badge to where no other will be able to catch up. Just from a social commerce standpoint, they are the only platform that is TRULY multichannel. (burp, 'scuse me, Kool-aid).
Right after I checked in and received my Shopify Unite badge, I met my first Unite 'squad member' (pictured to the right of the Shopify member in the middle). After entering the ladies room, I collected our second squad member, and by lunch we had our 3rd. By the time the evening's happy hour rolled around, we had our final member of our newly formed Shopify Unite Squad (all of whom are pictured below besides the other female Loretta).
If you know me at all, you know that I can make best friends with your shoe in under 10 minutes, but I will say in fairness, you do not need to be as extraverted as me to make friends easily on your own at this conference. The Shopify After-Party hosted at Verso sponsored by MailChimp and PayPal was met with a special DJ guest, who happens to be one of my lifetime heroes, DJ Z-Trip. Could this get any better? No is the answer.
Day 2 was a AMA with Tobi Lütke in the morning, along with some breakout sessions, with the day ending around 2pm. The highlight for me was getting my swag from the Shopify Unite truck (VR Cardboard anyone?) as well as playing around with the soon-to-be released Vive virtual reality experience. Soon, we will all be shopping in a virtual shopping mall picking out our items with our own hands (as the controllers), and placing them right into the shopping cart. It's coming people, get excited!
And what better way to round out such a successful trip of connecting, collaborating, and learning with other Shopify developers and partner enthusiasts? Quite simply put, on a boat (cue T-Pain), touring the waterways under the Golden Gate Bridge hosted by one of TheGenieLab's partners, BrightPearl. Thanks guys, that was a brilliant idea, and a blast to experience.

Scranton police are looking for the car that struck a man crossing a downtown street Monday afternoon.
Emergency responders rushed to Penn Avenue and Spruce Street about 1 p.m. for a report of a hit-and-run.
The victim, Bradley Graham, said he pressed the walk button and walked into the intersection. A light blue vehicle he believes turned onto Penn Avenue from Spruce Street hit him and sped off. Police believe the vehicle was a Subaru but do not have any additional information, Lt. Marty Crofton said.
Several bystanders went to Graham's aid and carried him into the lobby of the Scranton Times Building. Another bystander ran down Penn Avenue after the vehicle.
Graham suffered suspected minor injuries, and crews took him to Geisinger Community Medical Center, Crofton said.

Q: How to redirect url when controller function argument is empty in codeigniter? How to redirect url when controller function argument is empty in codeigniter?
my controller give bellow
class Login extends CI_Controller {

     public function resetpassword($passcode){
         if(!empty($passcode))
         {
             echo $passcode;
         }

        else
        {
             redirect(base_url());
        }
     }
}

When i hit url like example.com/login/resetpassword/123456
Result : 123456  it is ok...!!
But when i hit url like example.com/login/resetpassword/ it's produce error bellow
A PHP Error was encountered

Severity: Warning

Message: Missing argument 1 for Login::resetpassword()

Filename: controllers/login.php

Line Number: 81

How can i solve this issue?

A: It's because your function resetpassword() needs a parameter, here $passcode
You can set a default value to prevent that error
public function resetpassword($passcode = NULL){
     if(!empty($passcode))
     {
         echo $passcode;
     }

    else
    {
         redirect(base_url());
    }
 }

A: try to use this code
class Login extends CI_Controller {

     public function resetpassword($passcode=''){
         if($passcode!='')
         {
             echo $passcode;
         }

        else
        {
             redirect(base_url());
        }
     }
}

A: You can try following code
class Login extends CI_Controller {

         public function resetpassword($passcode=''){
             if(!empty($passcode))
             {
                 echo $passcode;
             }

            else
            {
                 redirect(base_url());
            }
         }
    }

The venue did not open for students at the reporting time as mentioned in the admit card – the result was a lot of chaos leading to delay in the registration process and start of the test.
The security check of students in some of the centres was not upto the mark . Case in point being the malpractice, which has been widely reported, that involved clicking of images using a smart-phone. How could one carry smart phone into the examination hall and not get detected even while taking the test!
The practice of test authorities taking signature and thumb impression of students while the test is on is thoughtless, to say the least. Imagine one is in the middle of reading a passage and you have this admin guy breaking your thought flow for something which could have easily been done before or after the test.
In some venues, you had this announcement system that was on even during the test – and if that was not enough some centres also had proctors loudly communicating among themselves while the test was on.
Some centres had a power outage and to everyone's surprise there was no power backup – the test resumed only after 1 to 2 hours for these students. In one of the centres the test went on but there were no lights and fans working for 2 out of 3 hours.
The mouse was not working properly and that caused students to click an answer multiple times before it got registered. Some students also reported that the total number of attempts displayed at the end of the test was lower than what they actually attempted (though this could also be due to negligence of the students themselves).
I sincerely hope that the IIMs take into account these lapses by the test administrators and take suitable action to ensure that such discrepancies do not happen in future years – after all, the perception about the fairness of the test should not be undermined.
Should there be a re-exam: In my opinion, there should not be a re-exam because of the reported malpractice – a re-exam would probably be unfair to all those students who did well in this test using fair means. The images were leaked during the test and not before the test – I seriously doubt if the same helped the performance of any of the test-takers including the one who indulged in the malpractice.
The test structure remained the same – 34 VA, 32 DI-LR and 34 QA. Wonder why the shroud of secrecy before the test – if nothing was to change at all!!
The Verbal Section had exactly the same break-up as last year with 24 RC questions (all in MCQ format) and 10 VA questions (all in TITA format). The VA questions comprised Jumbled Para, Summary based and Out of Context Question types in the same proportion as last year.
The DI-LR section had 16 DI and 16 LR questions in both slots. However the distribution of TITA questions differed in the two slots – the first slot had 8 TITA questions dispersed across individual sets while the second slot had only 1 set with 4 TITA questions.
The Quant Section had 34 questions – questions based on Arithmetic and Geometry dominated this section in both the slots. Around 5 questions had a Square-root sign that resembled a Pi sign and created some confusion. At least one question in the first slot had a typographical error and could therefore not be solved – hopefully the same will be excluded for evaluation purposes.
Level of difficulty: CAT 2016 was more or less similar in difficulty levels to CAT 2015. A comparison between the 2 tests reveals that the VA-RC section was a notch easier, Quant was a bit more difficult and the DI-LR section was at par. The overall cut-offs are expected to go down in the Quant section as well as Overall, the Verbal cutoffs may go slightly higher while the DI cutoffs should remain in the same range.
Note that the above percentile-score mapper is only indicative – please exercise discretion while making decisions based on the same.
Whether the test was easy or tough, whether you did well in it or otherwise, irrespective of what various people and coaching institutes have to say about expected cut-offs – It's now time to focus on the next steps and the way ahead!!
For colleges that have application deadlines before the CAT results– decide NOW whether you would be applying to them or not. The parameters to consider are if these colleges are a good fit for your profile and if you expect to meet their cut-off scores. I would advise you to keep a buffer of + 5 percentile while taking this decision.
Are the the most optimistic cut off predictions ?

Intelligent Travel
One Love: A Valentine From Jamaica
ByLisa A. Walker
A Reggae Valentine from Bob Marley's lead guitarist…
Valentine's Day is celebrated by many people around the world, but for longtime musician Junior Marvin, it will forever be one of the most memorable days of his life. It's the day legendary singer-songwriter Bob Marley asked him to join his band.
I sat down with the Jamaica-born/London-raised performer to talk about that fateful day, Jamaica, and of course, the legend himself, Bob Marley.
Lisa Walker: What exactly happened on Valentine's Day back in 1977?
Junior Marvin: I was in London and had just finished an album with Steve Winwood, Arc of a Diver, when Chris Blackwell (the founder of Island Records) heard my guitar playing and contacted me by phone saying that he wanted for me to meet someone.
When I first saw Bob, his back was turned and he had this glow around him like an aura. It was right then that I knew it was Bob Marley. As he turned to face me, he had a big smile on his face. He told me that he had heard good things about me and would like for me to work on his next album. I was speechless.
LW: Is it true you had another offer that very same day from another famous musician?
JM: A couple of hours before meeting Bob I had a phone call from Stevie Wonder asking for me to join his band and offering me a ten-year contract. I couldn't believe it. I told him I would give him an answer later that day–but then I met Bob Marley.
It was a difficult decision because both artists are musical heroes for me, but I ultimately decided that because I was born in Jamaica, and so was Bob, I wanted to reconnect with my roots. I wanted to support my brethren.
LW: You were born in Jamaica, but moved with your family to England when you were young. I hear they referred to you as the young Jimi Hendrix of London?
JM: My family moved to London when I was about nine or ten and they enrolled me in a good school. I learned how to play classical piano from my aunt, jazz from other family members, and then rock and roll in grade school.
And, yes, when I was 14 years old people started comparing my guitar playing to Jimi Hendrix, which was a real honor.
LW: Did joining Marley's band give you an opportunity to return to Jamaica?
JM: [Not exactly.] When I first joined the Wailers, Bob was already in exile from Jamaica, for political reasons related to his music, so that's why he was in the U.K. We recorded a few albums, including Exodus.
By this time, Jamaica was in the middle of a Civil War and Bob decided that he wanted to return to do the "One Love Peace Concert" in hopes of uniting the people and educating them about politics and violence. We left for Jamaica, Bob moved back into his home, and we began recording at his studio. The concert was a success and the political climate eventually calmed.
It was a very exciting time and a great memory for me. We were doing more recordings, more touring, got invited to do a concert in Zimbabwe, and were even set to do a big tour with Stevie Wonder–but by then it was 1979-1980 and soon Bob collapsed and became ill [with the cancer that eventually killed him in May of 1981].
LW: It was a very sad time when Bob Marley died. What was he like?
JM: Bob was a really great guy and very grounded, but a bit of a workaholic. He was intense and always trying to do his best whether it was music, family, or soccer. Sometimes he didn't get enough sleep but he had a great work ethic, was very disciplined, very spiritual, and knew how to keep balance. So we were busy every day and worked really hard at the music, but we had a lot of fun and the band/music was a big success so, it was all worth it.
LW: You now have a home in Jamaica as well as in the Washington, D.C., area. What are some of your favorite places on the island?
JM: I love many places in Jamaica. The North Coast beaches are beautiful. Ocho Rios has beautiful waterfalls and Montego Bay has tourist attractions. Negril has seven miles of a beautiful coastline. Port Antonio in the northwest is wonderful and Bath has botanical gardens and healing hot springs. The food is also delicious in Jamaica and there is a lot of history. I can't say enough good things about the island.

JM: Bob really loved the beach and loved playing soccer there, jogging, and exercising. Definitely Ocho Rios, but he also loved some of the beaches near Kingston like Bull Bay and Hellshire. The people are really nice there and they catch fish right out of the water and prepare it for you right on the beach.
LW: Do you think it was a coincidence that Bob Marley chose Valentine's Day to ask you to join his band? I can't help but think of his message of "One Love" and reputation for bringing people together.
JM: As Bob Marley would say; it's a "natural mystic."
Here are five ways to celebrate Bob Marley, reggae, and Jamaican culture in February:

Bob Marley was born on February 6, 1945, and would be celebrating his 69th birthday were he alive, but it's not too late to celebrate his legacy and the vibrant reggae culture of Jamaica.
February is Reggae Month on the island–and winter is the perfect time to plan a trip. Enjoy free performances on Reggae Wednesdays throughout February, pay a visit to the Bob Marley Museum in Kingston, or join in on the fun at the Fi Wi Sinting Jamaican Folk Festival (February 16), the Oneness Reggae Fest (February 21-22), or the Blue Mountain Music Festival (February 22-23).
If February is out of the question, there's plenty of time to plan for the biggest reggae inspired event in Jamaica this summer, the Reggae Sumfest (July 13-19) in Montego Bay. The festival features indigenous reggae music and international guest performers.

"Revised CO2 standards must strengthen CO2 targets"
In its latest car's CO2 report, our project partner T&E released surprising news, including an unprecedented decline of CO2 emissions from new cars: CO2 emissions dropped from 122g CO2/km in 2019 to 111g CO2/km in the first half of 2020. Moreover, T&E projects a rise of electric car sales up to 10 % by the end of 2020 and 15 % in 2021. Sounds like a report full of good news, right? Perhaps someone cheered too early: Deutsche Umwelthilfe (DUH) talked with T&E about persisting and fundamental problems regarding the CO2 emissions from new cars as well as failures of the current CO2 regulation.
© Héctor Martin Moreno / Collectif CARAVANE
From this year onwards, a stricter CO2 fleet target of 95 gCO2/km applies within the EU. Carmakers are facing high fines if they do not comply with their targets. Nevertheless, T&E projects that most carmakers will reach their target. However, according to your report, half of the official CO2 emission reductions are reached with 'regulatory flexibilities'. What does this mean?
The European CO2 regulation allows carmakers to benefit from several regulatory flexibilities, which are designed to help achieve the targets more easily. In this report for the first time, we analyze the individual and combined impact of these flexibilities and expose to which extent they weaken the overall stringency of the EU's CO2 regulation.
In 2019, car makers in the EU emitted an average of 122 gCO2/km which exceeds the proclaimed target of 95g CO2 by 27g. Due to the flexibilities they only need to reduce their sales CO2 emissions to 108 gCO2/km to be compliant. The remaining gap of 13 gCO2/km is closed thanks to the flexibilities. In other words, only half of the effort carmakers need to make this year to meet their CO2 targets will actually be achieved by improving the cars performances in the official laboratory test.
What are the most important 'flexibilities' carmakers are using? Which carmakers benefit the most?
For a clearer understanding, let me briefly explain the five flexibilities in the regulation: First, the super-credits, which allow carmakers to count electric cars twice towards meeting the target. Second, the 95 % phase-in of the target allowing car makers to exclude the 5 % most polluting vehicles from the calculation in 2020. Third, the mass-adjustment, weakening the target of carmakers who sell heavier vehicles. Fourth, the eco-innovation credits which carmakers can claim for fitting so called 'eco-innovation' technologies allowing to reduce emissions on the road but not during the test (such as coasting or LED headlamps which are not switched on during the test). Finally, pooling allows carmakers to team up and jointly comply with the target in the calculation of the CO2 average.
The flexibility with the greatest overall contribution are the super-credits as they reduce the CO2 emissions by an average of 6 g CO2/km across all carmakers. Followed by the 95 % phase-in with a reduction of more than 3g CO2/km and the mass-adjustment of the target with more than 2 gCO2/km. However, the extent to which carmakers benefit from these flexibilities is very uneven. The three carmakers who benefit the most in 2020 are: Volvo with 27 g/km, Daimler with 25 g/km and BMW with 23 g/km. At the other end of the spectrum, Toyota-Mazda and PSA are expected to benefit from the flexibilities up to 4-5g CO2/km in 2020. This excludes carmakers like Jaguar-Land-Rover who have lower sales numbers and therefore as an exception need to meet a lower target.
Can you briefly explain how a carmaker like Daimler reduce the official CO2 fleet value in 2020? In average, how much reduction will they achieve by using the different 'flexibilities' and how much by emission reduction such as ICE improvement?
As mentioned previously, Daimler benefits the second most from these flexibilities creating a key role for the carmakers compliance strategy. Thanks to the sales of very polluting premium vehicles, Daimler benefits the most from the 5 % exclusion rule in 2020 already reducing the total sales average by 6 g/km. Super-credits from EV sales are also very high. In fact, they reach the maximum cap of 7.5 gCO2/km already in 2020 meaning that Daimler like most of the others cannot claim any further super-credits in 2021 and 2022. As Daimler sells some of the heaviest vehicles, its target is around 104 g/km instead of 95 g/km.
This is the second highest target behind Volvo. Overall, the flexibilities alone allow Daimler to reduce emissions by 25 g/km which effectively closes 60 % of the overall compliance gap it used to have in 2019. The remaining emission reduction of 17 g/km is mainly achieved thanks to high PHEV sales. As of September 2020, Daimler had already achieved 14 % EV sales in 2020 of which around two thirds were PHEVs. The carmaker is expected to finish the year with even higher EV sales given they have reached a whopping 22 % in September making it the top carmaker for EV share of sales in that month. In October, Daimler's EV sales have reached 29 % in the EU. (The EVs were almost exclusively PHEVs)
In the last two decades, NGOs witnessed a growing fuel consumption gap: ICCT and T&E have shown that there is a huge gap between fuel consumption on data results and in real-world performance. How has the gap evolved in recent years? At which level are real emissions at the moment?
In its series of 'Mind the Gap'-reports T&E has shown that the CO2 emission gap between official test results and real-world performance of new cars has grown alarmingly. The average gap has jumped from 8 % in 2001 to 42 % in 2016 before stabilizing at 39 % in 2018. In other words, since 2008 half of the emission reductions are defined by manipulating official laboratory tests: 28 % CO2 emissions in NEDC while only 14 % in real-world emission reduction. This means that the average real-world emissions of a new car sold today are at the same level as the laboratory emissions in 2008.
In the first half of 2020, 4.3 % of all new cars sold were BEVs and 3.5 % were PHEVs. Comparing PHEVs with BEV how is the fleet evolving?
How do you evaluate the rise of PHEV sales?PHEVs have been used massively this year as carmakers race towards reaching the target. In one year quarterly PHEVs sales have grown fivefold. Today half of all the plug-in sales are plug-in hybrids that are rarely charged and emit far more in real world than what carmakers claim based on the lab tests. Recent PHEV testing commissioned by T&E shows that even when starting with a full battery and driven in optimal conditions the PHEVs emit 28 % more than advertised by the carmakers. When driven in engine mode CO2 emissions can even be 8 times higher.To achieve their current fleet-wide CO2 average BMW's and Volvo's PHEVs would have to drive close to 70 % of total kilometers electrically. Far more than the current real-world usage, estimated at 20 % to 37 % by the ICCT.
This is worrying since these 'fake electric cars' are treated very generously in the car CO2 regulation. They earn super-credits like BEVs do and their official car emissions are way more generous than what their real-world CO2 emissions actually are.
If car makers want PHEVs to be part of the transition to zero emission mobility, they have to improve their real-world performance. This means they have to increase their real-world electric range to at least 80 km ensuring they can stay in electric mode under a wide range of driving conditions without using the combustion engine. They also must reduce CO2 emissions significantly when the engine is running and should be equipped with fast charging capabilities.
Governments should also end the purchase subsidies and generous tax breaks for plug-in hybrids which are fueling another emissions scandal.
T&E stresses that car's CO2 efficiency standards are a very important instrument without neglecting the failures of the current regulation. How should decision makers improve the car CO2 efficiency standards from T&E's point of view?
The expected plug-in sales of 10 % in 2020 and 15 % in 2021 underline the inadequacy of the current post-2020 CO2 targets. With 20 % electric car sales alone carmakers would comply with the current regulation up to 2029. There is a real danger that the supply of electric cars will stagnate throughout the 2020s just as the technology matures and market demand surges.
With electric cars expected to reach price parity with diesels and petrols in the mid-2020s, the growth must accelerate much faster than the current pace of regulations. The revised CO2 standards should strengthen car's CO2 targets to increase the supply of electric vehicles across Europe, their adoption by consumers and accelerate the transition to e-mobility. There are three key things that decision makers can do to improve the car CO2 standards. First, the CO2 reduction target should be increased from 15 % in 2025 and 37.5 % in 2030 to 25 % in 2025 and 65 % in 2030. Second, the suboptimal 5-year targets should be replaced with annual CO2 reduction targets which are more effective from a climate and industrial perspective.
And last but not least, in order to reach zero emissions by 2050 the last combustion engine car should be sold no later than 2035. Beyond these three considerations the regulation should also seek to correct the far too generous treatment of PHEVs, enforce real-world compliance and remove the mass-adjustment of the targets.

Protect Yourself Against Oral Cancer
Follow these tips to help prevent oral cancer
By Colleen Zenk Pinter, as told to Micki Siegel
When two-time Emmy Award nominee Colleen Zenk Pinter was diagnosed with oral cancer, one of the first things she did was contact the Oral Cancer Foundation. Here's what she learned: This year, more than 34,000 people will be diagnosed with oral cancer in the United States. The disease kills more people than other widely known forms of cancer, including cervical cancer, but often it's not caught until it spreads.
While smoking and heavy drinking increase your risk, 35% of people who develop oral cancer get it as a result of the HPV-16 virus, says Brian Hill, founder and executive director of the Oral Cancer Foundation. Most are nonsmokers in their 30s and 40s. Aside from not smoking, you can protect yourself by:
Making sure your dentist screens you annually. She should visually inspect your face, neck, lips and mouth; use both hands to feel the area under your jaw and on both sides of your neck; feel inside the floor of your mouth and inside your lips and cheeks; and use a piece of gauze to gently pull your tongue forward. (Some dentists may also perform additional tests using special lights or dye, but it's unclear whether these extra steps are necessary or beneficial for most people.) f your dentist finds an abnormality, she may choose to do a brush biopsy (BrushTest) or scalpel biopsy, in which cells are collected and sent to a pathologist. Or she may refer you to an oral surgeon.
Asking your doctor about the HPV vaccine. It protects against several strains of the virus, including HPV-16, which can lead to oral and cervical cancer. It's currently recommended for girls and young women ages 9 to 26, but it may also help protect boys and young men.
Getting informed. Check out the Oral Cancer Foundation's website at oralcancer.org and learn more about the BrushTest at sopreventable.com.

Bown And Prewitt Form Battery That Powers Eagles Win
by John Unrein
On a day that was intended to give Riley Bown a day off at third base, the designated hitter was called upon to pitch in relief during the top of the second inning. The senior would go on to hurl five scoreless innings, racking up four strikeouts along the way. This has become a knack for Bown. Grain Valley's 18-7 overall record has been aided by Bown's ability to come in and throw strikes.
Behind the dish for Bown's strong effort during the Eagles 14-4 win against the visiting Truman Patriots on May 3rd was catcher Blake Prewitt. The sophomore knows to put the sign down in a hurry when Bown is on the mound. Hitters do not have the chance to get comfortable in the batter's box due to the pace at which the duo work.
Prewitt also helped the Eagles win with his defense and bat against the Patriots. A strong throw by Prewitt to second base during the top of the second inning squashed a steal attempt. A play that drew praise from the Grain Valley dugout. A bases loaded single in the top of the third inning produced two runs batted in for Prewitt as well. Prewitt would an additional RBI in the top of the fourth inning on a sac fly that would expand Grain Valley's lead.
The battery of Bown and Prewitt offered praise for one another during their postgame comments.
"I know the routine by this point. It is the same thing every time. I come in and throw it where Blake (Prewitt) wants it and I let my defense make plays behind me. I do not mind if they hit the ball," Bown said.
"This win today was great. We are not nervous when we get behind. It may take a few innings for our bats to come alive, but it usually works out for us. We display good confidence."
Prewitt added, "I picked up today that Truman was trying to run on me when I went to one knee to receive. I knew that I could get the runner at second base (during the top of the second inning) if I threw it hard enough."
"I saw the ball well today at the plate. I was able to get deep into some counts. The single came on a curveball that I was able to hit hard."
"Riley (Bown) works fast on the mound and I love it. The batter struggles to get comfortable at the plate or think about what the next pitch might be."
Another strong contributor for the Eagles was shortstop Parker Bosserman. The senior would rack up 3 total RBIs on a single and a triple. Bosserman only knows one speed on the basepaths as his helmet typically leaves his head from the hustle exerted. The Eagles leading hitter by batting average so far this season is Bosserman, who is joined by teammates Bown, Cole Arndorfer, Cole Keller, Parker Stone, and Jacob Grasher in adorning the bleacher fences with their senior banners.
Among those pleased with the senior leadership on the Grain Valley squad is head coach Brian Driskell. The Eagles skipper encouraged his team to look at the scoreboard following the game. The request was to take notice that Truman did not get a hit after the first inning. The message continued with encouragement to stay in every game by fighting through every at bat and maintaining focus.
"It was the same story, but a different day with Riley (Bown). We were laughing about it today in the locker room prior to the game. He has been battling through some small nagging injuries here and there. I told him we are going to have to get you healthy because we need you on the mound," Driskell said.
"I am not really sure why people do not get hits off Bown. It befuddles him as well. The results have been good for us though. He is as cool as a cucumber on the mound."
"We give him a hard time about the face he makes when he delivers the ball home. Something is funky though because opponents do not pick up his delivery well."
The Eagles finish out the week with games against Belton and Fort Osage on May 5th and 7th, respectively. Grain Valley will look to add to their perfect 7-0 Suburban Conference record during those matchups.
