"It's fun. This is why you play," Canes coach Rod Brind'Amour said. "These are the games you remember. This is a chance to make a moment. That's why it's so special."
Jordan Staal's goal at 3:51 of the third gave the Canes their first lead of the game and proved to be the game-winner. Staal planted himself in front of goalie Braden Holtby, wedging in between defensemen Dmitry Orlov and Matt Niskanen and used his long reach to backhand the puck past Holtby for a 3-2 lead.
Watch a time-lapse of all the Carolina's goals and celebrations during the Hurricanes' 5-2 victory over the Washington Capitals during the Stanley Cup playoffs at PNC Arena in Raleigh, N.C., Monday, April 22, 2019.
Justin Williams made it a 4-2 lead with less than eight minutes left in regulation with a redirection, the first goal of the playoffs for the Canes captain. Not long after, the sellout crowd began chanting "Game Seven! Game Seven!."
Warren Foegele, who has been in the middle of so much in his first playoff series, scored in the first period for the Canes -- his fourth of the series for a 1-1 tie. Teuvo Teravainen's late second-period goal tied the score 2-2, setting up the Canes' big finish in the third.
It almost seemed fitting that forward Jordan Martinook set up the Canes' final goal -- Dougie Hamilton's empty-net score. Martinook left Game 4 with a lower-body injury and missed Game 5, the 6-0 romp by the Caps in Washington, but couldn't be kept out of the lineup Monday. He skated Monday morning and was ready at game time.

"It was everybody tonight," Staal said. "That's what we need. That's the way we can win this series. But they're obviously a talented team and they're going to come back with a better effort. We have to do the same and find a way to win one on the road. Grind away and not get rattled and keep at it and do all the things we did at home and we'll find a way.
"Anything can happen in Game 7. It's what you dream of playing as a kid. I know everyone in this group is excited."
Check out photos from the Carolina Hurricanes' Stanley Cup playoff game against the Washington Capitals Monday night April 22, 2019.,
The Caps believed they had tied the score 3-3 with 9:26 left in the third when Alex Ovechkin, who had scored in the first period, crashed the net and into goalie Petr Mrazek after Evgeny Kuznetsov got off a shot. The puck wound up in the net and the Caps wildly celebrated, but the goal was waved off and the call -- goaltender interference by Ovechkin, who was ruled to have pushed Mrazek's pad -- was upheld on review after a challenge by Caps coach Todd Reirden.
"We make a push, we scored a goal, and I think it was good," Ovechkin said. "But again, it's the referees' decision, and they make the decisions they make. It's over. Move forward."
Ovechkin moved on earlier than the rest of his teammates. Upset after being called for slashing with 1:08 left in regulation, he was given a 10-minute misconduct after making his opinion known to the refs and angrily headed off to the locker room.
The Caps scored twice in the opening period, Brett Connolly giving Washington a 1-0 lead in a series in which the team scoring first had won the first five games. When Ovechkin ripped a shortside shot past Mrazek, the Caps led 2-1 with 4:48 left in the second and regained some of the swagger from their 6-0 dismantling of the Canes in Game 5.
But the Canes got the kind of play from Sebastian Aho that has been missing fro Aho most of the series. Separating defenseman Jonas Siegenthaler from the puck behind the Caps net, he found Teravainen charging in for the quick shot and score from the slot -- Teravainen's second of the series.
The Canes then killed off two Washington power plays in the second after tying the score. Williams and Nino Niederreiter were called for high-sticking, but the Canes' penalty killers took away passing lanes and cleared the puck successfully.
Canes fans were roaring soon after the first penalty kill. Williams had a breakaway and chipped the puck over a gambling Holtby and into the net. But the goal was quickly waved off as Williams tipped down the puck with a high stick before the score.
The Caps came an inch from scoring in the final second of the period, Tom Wilson redirecting the puck in front of Mrazek and having it clip the crossbar. That came moments after Mrazek, who had 23 saves, made a strong stop on John Carlson shot.
Foegele's goal came five seconds after the Caps had killed off a penalty. Hamilton had a shot blocked, but Foegele collected the puck and got off a spinning shot that glanced off the post and beat Holtby to the blocker side.
Injured forwards Andrei Svechnikov and Micheal Ferland skated Monday morning but did not play, and Martinook was a game-time decision.
"Playing at home, it's a huge deal, the crowd here," Brind'Amour said. "You can feel it on the bench, feel the energy they give our players. Now we've got to figure out how to go do it up there.."
In Washington. In Game 7.

Have you had time to follow the FIFA Women's World Cup?
OP Barida
Barida
The FIFA Women's World Cup will be entering the knockout stages soon and it's sad that I've not seen a match on the event because of my tight schedules, anyone following up with events at the World Cup?
I have not really been following it that much. I probably will watch the later matches like the semi-final or the actual final. It's just hasn't been interesting enough for me (nothing to do with the women).
Reactions: Barida
Demon_skeith
I've been watching it off and on, I saw one clip of a lady kicking the ball, but missed and kicked too high up and kicked the other woman in the jaw.
Demon_skeith said:
While I have been busy, I have read on the news about events happening and one of the them is the implementation of the new rules to the game such as the positioning of the goalkeeper during penalty kicks. There has been series of retakes of penalties in the tournament all because of the goalkeeper not standing in the right position.
Barida said:
I know its been a long time since I played soccer, but I know the goalkeeper can only go so far and I've seen games where they step out of the lines completely in going after a ball or throwing it back. Shouldn't that be illegal?
No, that's perfectly fine Demon_skeith. They only have to stay on the line for penalties although most goalkeepers come ever so slightly off the line and nothing usually happens (in the Men's games anyway). Any other time, they can go anywhere they want but they can only hold and touch the ball with their hands if they're inside the penalty box.
There are recent changes in the rules of the game of football and one you will see happening every now and then is the substitution rule which now says that during substitutions, the outgoing player can step out of the pitch at any area he/she was standing at the moment and not again walking straight to the bench.
I didn't hear about that change. Not sure if the Premier League in the UK has adopted that rule yet. That doesn't really affect gameplay or the goalkeepers much though so it's only a small change.
There seems to be so many rule changes in sports these days I don't know how the players keep up with it.

At Tumbleweed Lodge we take our food seriously. After 12 tremendous seasons with us, Chef Joe retired to fish the Pacific waters of Hawaii. While hunting is always the primary reason for coming, the food is an essential element which brings happy, returning guests. Our guests have expected a high standard and we continually strive to do even better. Homemade breads and rolls, custom dessert creations, and Midwestern favorites such as Prime Rib, Top Choice Sirloin and pheasant are the backbone of our fanfare! Our high standard continues with our in house "chef by committee" staff led by local favorite Theresa Gregg.
You've made it home, your cooler packed with birds has arrived, and now it's time to impress your friends. Please consider some of Tumbleweed Lodge's most popular recipes. Who says wild game can't taste this good?
Cream butter and sugar, beat eggs into milk & vanilla. Stir in sweet potatoes. Mixture will be a thin. Pour into a greased 11 x 7 x 2 baking pan at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. Combine topping, sprinkle over casserole and return to the oven & bake for an additional 5-10 minutes.
Bring the beef broth to boil in a saucepan. Add the rice blend, cover, reduce heat to medium low and simmer for 40 minutes or until the broth is absorbed and the rice is tender.
Fillet the pheasant breasts and pound each filleted breast using a meat tenderizer until tender. Place the tenderized pheasant in a large bowl and pour in the buttermilk. Let stand for 20 minutes.
Crumble the ground sausage and brown in a sauté pan over medium heat. Remove sausage from the pan, reserving the grease.
Add the onion, celery, carrots, mushrooms and garlic to the sauté pan and sauté until tender. Add the sausage back to the sauté pan. Salt and pepper to taste.
Add the cooked rice to the sauté pan and stir to combine. Set aside.
After the pheasant is rested, heat the butter and olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat.
Combine the flour, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Whisk the eggs and water in a second large mixing bowl. Place the bread crumbs in a third mixing bowl.
Dredge each pheasant fillet first in the flour, then in the egg mixture and last in the bread crumbs, ensuring the meat is fully coated in each mixture.
Transfer the dredged pheasant fillets to the sauté pan and cook until browned on both sides and internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.
Begin preparing the glaze while the pheasant is cooking.
Flambé the brandy in a saucepan.
Add the apricot preserves and sweet orange preserves to the saucepan. Reduce heat to medium low and simmer until bubbly. Add a pinch of salt.
Whisk the cornstarch and water in a small bowl to create a slurry. Whisk the slurry into the saucepan and continue simmering the glaze until thickened.
Assemble the apricot glazed pheasant by spooning the desired amount of rice medley on each plate. Top the rice with the fried pheasant and top the pheasant with the desired amount of apricot glaze.
Accompany with cooked asparagus, if desired.
Cube pheasant breasts into 1/2 to 1 inch cubes. Add Olive oil, pheasant, and onion to frying pan at medium-high heat. Season with Lowry's season salt and pepper, then brown completely (appx. 25 minutes), leaving pan uncovered.
Remove frying pan from heat and add contents to large mixing bowl. Add sour cream, mushrooms, soup, and Parmesan cheese and mix together. Pour mixture into large casserole pan evenly.
Cook biscuits approximately 5-10 minutes. Place biscuits on top of the mixture evenly to cover entire pan. Pre heat oven to 375 and place pan in oven for 40 minutes. Remove and spread shredded Colby Jack on entire top of casserole, then place back in oven for 3-5 minutes until cheese has melted. Remove from oven and let cool. So easy even a caveman can do it!
Sauté pheasant in olive oil on medium-high heat. Season with season salt if desired. Sauté until temperature reaches 165 degrees. Let cool. Cut pheasant into small pieces.
Prepare rice in water per package directions. Prepare chicken broth if needed.
Melt butter in saucepan and sauté onions, garlic, and carrots until tender. Pour part of chicken broth into saucepan and gradually add flour stirring constantly with a whisk until the mixture thickens slightly. If making a large batch, pour ingredients into a large pot and add remaining broth. Stir in cooked rice and salt, pepper, bay leaf, parsley, thyme, cayenne, and mushrooms. Add pheasant and almonds. Simmer about 5 minutes. Blend in half and half and sherry; heat to serving temp. Garnish with minced parsley or chives. Remove by leaf before serving. Serves 6-7.
Bring to a boil butter, syrup, and sugar for 30 seconds. Pour into a greased 9" x 13" pan. Slice Bread preference about 1" thick or use Texas toast. Put slices close together on top of sauce. Beat together the eggs, milk, vanilla, and salt. Pour over top of the bread. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.

I contacted Dia foundation in New York and offered to prepare a presentation about the the work we did for the environmental artworks commissioned by Strata. They haven't replied yet. Attempted to open a dialogue with contemporary art conservators at Kiasma too but they haven't replied either. They must get a lot of contact requests from Environmental- / Land Art Conservator's around the world.
Finnish Cultural Institute in New York is trying to arrange a meeting with the NYPD mounted police unit for me. We drafted a long letter together and I hope it'll open a dialogue with them. I'll start the visa application process tomorrow.
Call for Action: Key Moments in Estonian Performance seminar at Kiasma by Anu Allas (Kumu) and Maria Arusoo (Center for Cont. Art Estonia) was a tad unbalanced. The presentation felt like a marketing event and suffered from technical difficulties.
Allas opened the event by explaining that Estonia was "The West of the Soviet Union" and that artists generally enjoyed the protection of the state and their experimentations (influenced by John Cage and the Fluxus-movement) were condoned and encouraged. She presented Pirita beach as an important venue and explained how the artists of the 70ies were influenced by Western art: "They just heard what artists in the West had done and tried to do something similar".
The humorous nature of early performance art was underlined but unfortunately the political nature of this humourness was not identified as a method for organizing soviet underground art (Crusaders' School of Pure Humour Without Joke in Prague is one example, Natalia Lach-Lachowicz from Poland an other). Allas claimed that there was no underground arts in Estonia. She mentioned artists Jüri Okas (Water Man, 1971), Siim-Tanel Annus and Raoul Kurvitz. The last two were presented as key figures of the post-soviet performance scene: "The Western art world expected that after the collapse of the soviet union these kinds of physical artist, manifesting raw creativity would emerge. They thought that this kind of expression had been suppressed by the soviet regime and wanted to witness it being liberated".
Jaan Toomik (my guru from 2007) was mentioned as a god-father figure of Estonian contemporary art. He was framed as an "export artist", a male hero of his time. We saw extracts from "Dancing Home" (1995) and "Dancing with Dad" (2003). I like both works (A lot of Estonian classic performance art can be found online). His work was presented as "responsive", in comparison to feminist artist of today whos practice was presented as "reflective". Valie Export Society was referred to but unfortunately the presentation didn't cover their work in detail.
It occurred to me that "location sensitive art" made in post-soviet / peripheral-west countries is a perverse form of nationalism. Artist utilize western proven styles to exhibit their personal freedoms (which is often framed as creative violence against status quo). In this process their audiences can identify how these styles differ from the local culture and values and feel different (from the west) but the same (as the westerners). Post-soviet artists are celebrate for their creative independence but their value is judged based on how they received by western audiences.
Note: "Location sensitive art" came about as a concept in a discussion with Kristian. He told me about his trip to Ahmedabad and explained that locals navigate the city (and their lives) following a contextual map. Their caste, profession and religious prophecies determine what is possible for them, where, how and at what time of the day they can move. Kristian explained that westerners are "not location sensitive", they believe that they have the responsibility to test the world.
The rest of the presentation was off balanced. Arusoo referred to Ene-Liis Semper, Flo Kasearu, Kris Lamsalu and Maria Metsalu but their work were presented in a form of a sales pitch: "She has refused to perform this work many times […] you at Kiasma are very lucky to have her here…" etc.
The history of Estonian performance art came off as a narrative on how a fringe ex-soviet society became an incubator for generic western aesthetics and styles: "Now we are equal to every other european country, many artists who work locally feel left out.. This is why there is now interest to developing collaborations with other ex-soviet countries". Non Grata was not mentioned (as a member of the Estonian performance art family) and for some reason events between 1970-1990 were not discussed.
"…criticisms are simply outdated methods of managing risk". Writes Stefan Heidenreich. The two part text (1&2) on e-flux offers a critical introduction to post-internet art and an insightful analysis on how Speculative Realisms is linked to contemporary art markets. The text also looks at how the role of museums has changed: In the past they served like central banks which grounded and stabilized the value artworks. Today freeports serve as deposits for art investments. The value is more stable when no-one sees it!
"Freeportism as Style and Ideology: Post-Internet and Speculative Realism" offers a great point of departure for analysing the upcoming Kiasma Ars17 events.


Amidst the current national zeitgeist, one might believe that only a few top colleges and universities are "good enough" and that admission to one of those schools must be pursued by any means necessary. But those of us who work in higher education know the truth: There are many more than just 25 or even 50 great colleges in America, and the majority of institutions don't require cutthroat competition or generous donations to gain admission.
What really matters is the "fit" between a student and an institution, and there are myriad dimensions to examine the ways students and colleges fit one another.
Just as the savvy high school student, parent, or guidance counselor can (and should) look beyond the rankings, college admission professionals see applicants as more than just grades and scores. Each year, when we review applications, we're looking not for perfect students but rather ways to craft the perfect class, which can mean very different things in different years.
We might need swimmers for a new athletic program, or more artists to fill our new visual arts studios. We're certainly seeking diversity, in all definitions of the word, to create a class that reflects the demographics of the state and the world that our graduates will shape as future leaders.
When considering post-graduation outcomes, even the most prestigious achievements a college senior can win are shared well beyond just a few colleges. While about half of the 2017 American Rhodes Scholars hailed from "elite" colleges, the others attended academically excellent institutions including Millsaps (which has produced two Rhodes Scholars in the past four years), Hunter College, the University of South Dakota, and the University of Illinois – colleges and universities that admit students based on their past achievements and their future potential.
If you want to think beyond the big brand names on the usual ranking lists, a great resource is the book "Colleges That Change Lives," or CTCL.org, a companion website focused on schools, including Millsaps, that provide an exceptional undergraduate education.
The book was written by retired New York Times education editor and journalist Loren Pope, a longtime student advocate and independent college counselor who sought to change the way people thought about colleges by dispelling popularly held myths and challenging the conventional wisdom about college choice. As a CTCL school, Millsaps provides students with an unparalleled educational value through a combination of academic excellence and affordability.
Finding the "fit" is far more important than buying prestige, and it's what ultimately benefits a student the most in the long run.
The knowledge, experiences, and mentors that students gain at a place like Millsaps provide a better return on investment than paying someone to take an entrance exam.
Robert Alexander is vice president for enrollment and communications at Millsaps College in Jackson.

KazMunaiGas Onymderi, a subsidiary of the Kazakhstan national oil and gas company, is going to be establish and designated as the sole operator managing all the deliveries of petroleum products supplies from Russia, Tengrinews reports citing the Minister of Economy and Budget Planning of Kazakhstan Yerbolat Dossayev.
"To regulate bulk supplies of oil products and ensure stability of the domestic market a single operator - KazMunaiGas Onymderi - will be created to manage supplies from Russia," Dossayev said at the meeting in the Majilis (Lower Chamber of the Parliament).
He added that to meet the demand of the domestic market and stabilize prices of the main oil products, a schedule of supplies will be made for all the oblasts of Kazakhstan and of two of the country's largest cities Astana and Almaty. Besides, ceiling prices on petrol and diesel fuel will be set monthly.

Sandwell Non-Domestic Ratepayers Consultation
In our time the WMTPA have had a fair few run-ins with Sandwell Council, from The Public (that major white elephant they've continued to support with our cash) to a plethora of press stories highlighting their frivolous use of taxpayers' money. Now Cllr Steve Eling was to present next year's budget to non-domestic ratepayers in the borough who are often similarly beleaguered by the council's lack of initiative.
But hold on…one might expect a consultation with non-domestic ratepayers to include some…well…non-domestic ratepayers. But oh dear, none turned up.
That's right, no non-domestic ratepayers were present last Thursday. Such is the feeling of disenfranchisement, or is it disregard; the meeting only actually had exactly two attendees – myself and a gentleman from the Black Country Chamber of Commerce. We were joined by two of the council's accountants so our number blossomed to five. But that includes Cllr Steve Eling.
So what's to report? Well most of us will breathe a sigh of relief to learn that Sandwell won't be investing in balloon animals or decorative ice sculptures (well not this year anyway) and are at least attempting to be prudent in 2010/11. But of course, that doesn't mean everything is perfect and as in previous years, in amongst the necessities were some rather strange priorities considering cash is becoming more and more precious.
Initiatives involving business rate relief for those who take leases on empty retail units were counterbalanced by what sounded like expensive talk of "business start-up support packages" and "incubator units with on-site support" – presumably intended as a stimulus in a borough that is no doubt sharply feeling the pressure of the current economic climate. To some extent we do also have to sympathise with local authorities who now have to find the money to repair potholes and other road damage caused by recent adverse weather conditions, more limited availability of cash from central government, and who have to deal with costly incidentals – like for Sandwell who have recently acquired a 13th century Manor House that now needs maintaining. The recession and weather have, no doubt, placed a strain on public finances and that's something we have to acknowledge.
But then there are the schemes that you can't fault the authority for pursuing, yet wonder if they couldn't have been more dynamic in how they're done. A swimming baths in West Bromwich is something the locals have wanted for a long time and now it's on the cards, as are major structural repairs that should secure the future of Tipton baths. With added fitness suites these projects combined are set to cost £21m, and with a £7m down payment this looks to be another pricey project that residents will be bankrolling for a good long while (25years to be exact!). Could Sandwell Council really not have enticed private money into this venture? Sure enough they failed with The Public, but that was a blighted endeavour, resented by the very audience it was intended to woo. People in Sandwell are enthusiastic about leisure facilities, on the face of it it certainly looks as though they'd be incredibly popular in an area devoid of wholesome recreational activities, and yet Cllr Eling claimed that they'd found themselves 'up a cul-de-sac with external funding'. Three words – not good enough. It looks as though the council dropped the ball here and consequently landed ratepayers with a higher bill than was necessary.
And finally there are the downright bizarre decisions. Priorities presumably plucked out of the air at the end of tiring budget meetings and brainstorming sessions. The sort of ideas that you'd have flagged up as the first ones to ditch when cash is tight. Or, indeed, even if it isn't.
See, Sandwell Council found themselves with a £3m cash surplus last year (partly because the single status pay deal hasn't had an effect on their finances yet and partly because they paid less interest last year on borrowings) and now have £500k pegged for recurring costs (like the manor house mentioned earlier) and £2.5k to spend on…well…whatever their little hearts desire.
How about £470k on a graffiti removal project or deep cleanse? And this isn't just for municipal buildings, but actually contributes to the establishment of a free reactive graffiti removal service available to all local businesses.
"Why?" I ask Cllr Steve Eling.
"Because it looks grubby and puts people off shopping", he replies.
"But if a retailer was burgled and their front windows were smashed, that'd look off-putting too but you wouldn't replace their window would you? Shouldn't it be their responsibility, as they too have a vested interest in attracting shoppers?".
It's worked in Belgium, he replied. In suburbs of Brussels with massive graffiti problems where teams come out to scrub out graffiti almost before it dries. It has a psychological impact apparently. But a) it sounds massively expensive in the long run if it's really going to have this effect on vandals and irreversibly change their behaviours, and b) Cllr Eling admitted that graffiting wasn't actually a huge problem in the Borough. I'm sure there's some logic somewhere, or maybe someone just fancied a trip to Brussels to 'investigate' such experiments…
Then came the inevitable £500k to spend on energy efficiency, including subsidising house insulation and creating 'cashable efficiencies' by changing street lighting and improving 'energy efficiency' at the council itself. Alas here's yet another council voraciously banging the drum for the environment whilst subsidising car parking for employees and paying out thousands in mileage expenses. Not to mention flying abroad at the drop of a hat. Oh well, green looks good, even if it is about as sincere as a pimp in church.
Lastly there's the consistently alarming 'invest to save' budget of £1m. What will that go on to ensure it really pays the taxpayer back, I hear you ask? The vagaries were worrying – "perhaps IT?" we were told (and we all know how successful that's been for Birmingham City Council so far...ahem) and "perhaps working practices", which is obviously open to interpretation. This is most definitely something worth keeping an eye on. If Sandwell are 'investing to save' then they simply must save money, within a clear and committed timetable, with all expenditure transparent and traceable.
I did ask about the 3% efficiency savings that they've already made according to the 'pre-budget' we were being talked through, but received similarly vague responses that I felt might have been catered toward what they thought I wanted to hear. Mutterings of 'back office' and 'support services' came from the two accountants at the table. Hmmm, it'd be revealing to see exactly what that means in English.
At the end of the day the attendance at this meeting said it all. Our local council works on our behalf, and shouldn't be in the business of trying to sugarcoat or 'sell' their achievements to us. They should be honest and upfront about how cash is being spent, yet too often here plans for the future were punctuated with self-congratulatory language intended to convince us of what a great job they were doing, but the fact is, that's for residents and taxpayers to decide themselves, not for councillors to rattle-off as though it's unassailable fact.
It certainly seems that local non-domestic ratepayers have lost faith in Sandwell Council, be it because of this distracting and off-putting attitude that looks and smells like patronising spin, or because of their long-running record of throwing good money after bad and sinking much-needed public funds into fly-by-night projects. Either way, any good news for next years budget was counteracted by the fact that no-one but us few were there to hear it, and for as long as that continues at the point of consultation Sandwell Council will continue to be unaccountable, unchecked and potentially reckless with our cash.

ELI in Nature
Date published: (16 December 2010)
To win a national bid to host a new European research facility is, for academics, akin to being chosen to hold the Olympic Games. The warm glow of prestige is matched by the flow of hard cash to regenerate land and communities, while the rush of the best scientific minds to the new equipment can give a major boost to national research performance.
So the Czech Republic, Hungary and Romania are rightly proud to have beaten France and the United Kingdom to jointly host the euro800-million (US$1-billion) Extreme Light Infrastructure (ELI), a consortium of three independent laser facilities to deliver images at the atomic level.
The project is part of a roadmap for European research infrastructure -- a wish list of research facilities drawn up by the best scientific minds across the European Union (EU) -- and the first to be built in newer, and often less-well-off, member states.
The ELI is on track to begin construction early next year, but the real test starts now. To build it, the host countries will use EU structural funds -- a multi-billion-euro pot established to help narrow the economic and social disparities between member states. Earlier this year, Máire Geoghegan-Quinn, European Commissioner for Research, Innovation and Science, said she hoped to divert euro86 billion of EU structural funds to building Europe's "knowledge economy", including research infrastructure. In the past, it has been difficult to track how countries have spent such structural funds, and this lack of transparency has led to a sense of mistrust. As a result, policy wonks in established member states are questioning the merits of using structural funds to support research in Europe, such as on the ELI.
Poland is a major beneficiary of structural funding for research infrastructure, and has been allocated euro1 billion over the period 2007-2013. Critics of the approach were handed ammunition earlier this year, when Poland invited a panel of international scientists to assess the research infrastructure it wants to build in the future, partly using structural funds. The country should be applauded for its scientifically responsible approach. But some of the experts on the panel have some concerns about the scientific quality of the country's proposals.
Some projects look more like plans to create networks between national universities, they say, or attempts to build and strengthen national industries, rather than to develop cutting-edge research infrastructures. One project aims to build a knowledge alliance between several universities to help develop foundry and metallurgy industries, but contains no ideas for what research would be conducted in this area. Instead, it focuses on how the institutions can be linked up easily, sited as they are along major highways.
Out of a total of 60 points that each proposal could be awarded, the highest mark was 45.3; the majority of projects came in at just over half marks. As one scientist on the assessment panel (from a research-intensive member state) commented, only projects awarded the equivalent of 54 points or more would be considered for funding in their home nation. There are also widespread concerns in Europe that the new member states lack the experience to manage large infrastructure projects, including handling budgets, procurement and legal aspects. Insiders at the ELI say that this lack of experience is beginning to show, in preparing accounts for example.
The European Research Advisory Board, an independent advisory committee to the European Commission, echoes these fears in a report published in October. The board is concerned that the power given to member states, to decide which projects to fund with structural funds, directs investment towards building national capacity, rather than cutting-edge research.
The board recommends that some of the structural funds be held back in a central pot, to be allocated to projects judged to be of a high standard by experts, and which would serve pan-European needs. Although this approach may be better for research as a whole, it doesn't address the difficulties faced in the new member states.
These difficulties are not confined to the newer member states, as those countries involved in building ITER, the fusion test reactor struggling to life near Cadarache, France, have learnt the hard way. Legal and managerial expertise that is crucial to make such projects work must be actively sought and shared. For example, the European Investment Bank's initiative to help new member states prepare financial proposals for major projects could be extended to see projects through to later stages. And a portion of structural funds earmarked for research infrastructure could be set aside to train scientists as managers.
Structural funds for research infrastructure should continue to flow, but more international support is needed to ensure that the structures built around them are sound.

State announces major school changes
Queensland high schools are preparing to overhaul their tertiary entrance system following a decision to scrap Overall Position (OP) scores, which have been in place since 1992.
Students graduating in 2018 will be the last to receive the scores, which will soon be replaced by an Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR), bringing Queensland in line with other states.
"We believe this is the right decision to ensure young Queenslanders get the best start at life," Queensland's Education Minister, Kate Jones, said in a statement.
"This is all about ensuring that parents, students and teachers have confidence in the senior assessment process. That's why this journey was started and I'm very proud that this Government is taking it forward."
Under the new model, results will be based on a student's achievement in three school-based assessments and one external test, to be set and marked by the Queensland Curriculum and Assessment Authority (QCAA).
To prepare for the new system, about 20,000 Year 11 students at 264 schools will undergo external assessment trials in May and June this year.
This will involve externally set and graded assessments in chemistry, English, geography, maths and modern history.
Queensland Teachers Union (QTU) vice-president, Sam Pidgeon, told The Educator that the QTU welcomes the new system, particularly aspects of it which strengthen the current system of school-based assessment.
"We believe it was time for the OP to be reviewed and we welcome the move to an ATAR, though work is still to be undertaken about how the ATAR will be calculated," she said.
"The biggest change for the state's high school students is the stipulation that they undertake four assessments per year. This is far fewer than is currently the case in some subject areas, and we welcome that."
Of the four assessments, one will be set and marked externally to the school, which is a major change to the existing system.
Pidgeon said the QTU will work with the QCAA to ensure that teachers are well placed to support students to successfully demonstrate their learning in all of the assessments they undertake.
"In particular, our position is that the external assessment should carry the same value as each of the school-based assessments – this means that it is the same as any other assessment undertaken throughout the year," she said.
"This is a sensible approach to take in introducing the system to Queensland for the first time."
In a major change, the external assessment for maths and science will now make up 50% of a student's overall result, while in most other subjects it will contribute 25%.
Pidgeon said this will make the stakes uncomfortably high for students.
"If three assessments undertaken at school count for 50% and the one external assessment to be undertaken will count as 50% of the overall result, it turns that one external assessment into a very high stakes event," she said.
She added that for a student studying several science and maths subjects, this may mean that they are subjected to five high stakes assessments which will have a major impact on their overall subject result.
"For this reason, it was the QTU's suggestion that the 50% of external marks be derived from two external assessments worth 25% of the overall result," she explained.
"This would achieve the aim of 50% external marks and would address our concerns about single assessments carrying such a large weighting and the associated stress and workload that may place on students."

East San Marco showing signs of life
Posted on February 6, 2013 By Editor Neighborhood News
Developers once again optimistic that project will move forward
By Steve DiMattia
After six years of dormancy, the East San Marco development project at the corner of Hendricks Avenue and Atlantic Boulevard is once again showing signs of life.
While key players emphasized that details still have a very long way to go before anything is worked out or released to the public, focused conversations are once again taking place and all involved remain committed to the project.
"I'm certainly more optimistic now than I was even a year ago that we will be able to move forward with the project in some form," said Tom Fleming, vice president of investments for Regency Centers, who, along with St. Joe Company, is developing the site under the name East San Marco LLC. "We are working actively with various potential team members to try to get things moving. Is anything concrete? The answer is, 'no.' But we are engaged again, which is something that hasn't really happened in the past few years. It's a good sign."
A large reason for that re-engagement is rooted in the current marketplace.
"In the past few years there just hasn't been a market opportunity for that project. But the residential market seems to be recovering, with a number of multi-family, single-family and mixed-use projects getting off the ground," said Chris Kuhn, St. Joe's Director of Development. "We are excited that the overall market has provided us with the opportunity to revisit this plan."
After Wachovia Bank was built on the 5.3-acre site in 2006 construction came to a standstill in the face of the recession. Original plans called for a mixed-use development with at least 147 townhomes/condominiums, a 390-space parking garage and about 50,000 square feet of retail space anchored by a 30,000-square-foot Publix grocery. There was also a development agreement that would give East San Marco LLC seven to nine years to complete the project.
Fleming said the project would remain mixed-use, in that there may still be residential above retail, but there's less likelihood that condominiums will be part of that mix. He also emphasized that the appearance of the building itself will remain as unchanged as the market allows.
"We have worked on this project for a long time so we have a lot of good data and will consider everything we've looked at in the past. But the original PUD [Planned Unit Development] approved some penthouse, luxury condominiums that we can no longer include. Scope is the question moving forward – what are you really going to build and what can sustain in that area?" Fleming said. "We will apply for necessary modifications to the PUD or development, once we have a plan."
Publix is still part of that plan. "We remain committed and look forward to serving the San Marco community more intimately," said Publix spokesperson Dwaine Stevens.
Also still on board is the San Marco Preservation Society.
"East San Marco has recently become one of the most highly anticipated developments in North Florida. The combined experience, know-how and financial strength of the joint venture between Regency Centers and St. Joe ensure that this will be a unique, first class retail/multi-family development," said SMPS Public Relations Chairman Bob Warren.
St. Joe's Kuhn looks forward to building such a project specifically in San Marco.
"This is a unique site and we are excited to have the opportunity to bring a fully integrated, mixed-use development to one of Jacksonville's premier historic neighborhoods," he said.
While Fleming said that putting a time frame on the project would "just be teasing people" until there was something viable to announce, he nonetheless emphasized Regency's future commitment to the project.
"We don't want to overpromise or overhype before we have a concrete plan. But Regency is a long-term owner/operator. Our goal is not to build and sell, but to own and maintain with success a well run, high quality development. I look forward to when that happens and I think it will be a great thing for San Marco."


ST. PAUL, Minnesota. – H.B. Fuller Company (NYSE: FUL) announced today that its Board of Directors voted to increase the Company's regular quarterly cash dividend from $0.14 per share of common stock to $0.15 per share of common stock. This represents a 7 percent increase over the prior quarterly dividend and marks the 48th consecutive year in which the Company has increased its dividend.
The dividend of $0.15 per share of common stock is payable on May 4, 2017 to shareholders of record at the close of business on April 20, 2017.
The Board of Directors also authorized a share repurchase program of up to $200 million of the Company's outstanding common shares for a period of up to five years. Under the share repurchase program, the Company, at management's discretion, may repurchase shares for cash on the open market from time to time, in privately negotiated transactions or block transactions, or through an accelerated repurchase agreement, to buy back shares that are issued under the Company's stock based incentive compensation plans as well as for potential strategic opportunities. The primary source of funding for the program is expected to be excess cash held in the United States. The program does not require the Company to repurchase any specific number of shares or to complete the program on any specific timeline. The program may be modified, suspended or terminated at any time without prior notice. This share repurchase authorization replaces the Company's previous authorization that was approved in September of 2010.

10 Tranquillizing Songs for Alzheimer's Patients
Leave a Comment	/ CAREGIVING TIPS / By Ryan Wilson
Music is key in putting a halt to the rapid aging process. I have compiled a list of songs for Alzheimer's patients to help them deal with mental health conditions like dementia.
When was the last time you felt relaxed and carefree while listening to your favorite tunes?
Recent research shows that Music Therapy improves Alzheimer's disease patient's Autobiographical memory.
Especially, sad music— it was found to be most effective in recalling a patient's past life events and episodes.
Research Says Music Can Create Fundamental Changes in the Minds of Alzheimer's Patients.
A study was done by the University of Murcia, Spain reveals that music therapy improved cognitive, psychological, and behavioral changes in patients with Alzheimer's disease.
They treated 42 patients(with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease) with music therapy for six weeks straight and saw significant improvement in their condition in just 4 weeks' time.
Here, you can listen to 10 Songs for Alzheimer's Patients
It's hassle-free. Just click on play and you won't have to open a new window.
1) Just Breathe, Pearl Jam
Pearl Jam is a Seattle based rock group— considered one of the most influential contemporary alternative rock bands in the 1990s.
This song is about appreciation and gratitude for the precious life that we are fortunate to have. It will make you cry.
2) Lean On Me, Bill Withers
Bill Withers was a three-time Grammy award-winning American singer-songwriter. He was in the limelight from 1970 to 1985 and recorded hit albums like "Menagerie" and "Still Bill".
After moving to Los Angeles, he began to miss his childhood moments in the coal mining town of Slab Fork, West Virginia, which made him write the song "Lean on Me".
These kind of songs are very popular, especially among Alzheimer's patients.
3) Ave Maria, Schubert
Franz Peter Schubert(1797-1828) was an Austrian music composer. Ave Maria (originally known in English as "Ellen's Third Song" ) was composed in 1825 and quickly became Schubert's one of the most famous works at that time.
Its soulful lyrics have the power to melt the heart of the most hard-headed cold sort of a person.
4) Blue Suede Shoes, Elvis Presley
Blue Suede Shoes is a classic rock and roll song composed and originally recorded by Carl Perkins in 1955.
This song was later recorded by several other singers including the "King of Rock and Roll" Elvis Presley himself.
Perkins wrote this song based on an incident that took place near the stage where he was playing a song. He heard a young man dancing with a lady shout "Uh-uh, don't step on my suedes!". The man was wearing blue suede shoes and Perkins immediately decided to write a song on it.
5) It Was A Very Good Year, Frank Sinatra
Frank Sinatra was an actor, musician, and producer from New Jersey. He sold more than 150 million records worldwide and was one of the most popular musicians of the 20th century.
Frank humorously describes his dating life in this song. Nobody stays young forever, but old age is not so bad. It makes you wise and more self-accepting.
6) Vivaldi Four Seasons, Antonio Vivaldi
Four Seasons is a set of four violin concerts composed by the never-to-be-forgotten Antonio Lucio Vivaldi— an Italian musical composer, violinist, teacher, and priest. While he was living in Mantua aka Lombardy in Italy, the breathtaking countryside landscape of the town inspired him to create these four compositions(Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter).
This centuries-old music track will make you forget your worries and take you back to your golden days.
7) Frank Sinatra – New York New York
In this song, Frank yearns to leave everything behind to head to New York, and start a new life in the city that never sleeps.
8) Wake Me Up When September Ends, Green Day
Billie Joe Armstrong, the lead vocalist, primary songwriter, and lead guitarist of the punk rock band has written this song in remembrance of his father who passed away from cancer when Billy was just 10 years old.
This song was later dedicated to the victims of Hurricane Katrina and the September 11 attacks. The lyrics will make you feel more connected to everyone around you.
9) Three Little Birds, Bob Marley
In this song, Bob Marley— the Jamaican musical and cultural icon— reassures the people that everything is going to okay and they should get along with each day irrespective of the problems they have.
10) Amazing Grace, Elvis Presley
Amazing Grace is a Christian hymn composed by the poet John Newton in 1779.
The song depicts that forgiveness is possible with enough faith in God. Committing a sin does not necessarily have to end in punishment, there are ways to redeem yourself.
What's all this fuss about Alzheimer's disease?
Well, it was ranked sixth on the "Top 10 leading causes of death in the United States in 2017" list by Statista.
Frankly, I can't understand why everybody doesn't take advantage of music (as a way to relieve stress).
Especially, people suffering from brain disorders like Alzheimer's disease. They should spend at least an hour a day listening to music genres like jazz, piano, indie, etc.
Along with a good diet, regular social activities and plenty of sleep, soothing songs are also beneficial for Alzheimer's patients.

Working on residential building opportunities is nice and all – but the big money is commercial contracting. If you have your sights set on building high-rises and large developments, you need to first focus on building the relationships that will provide these opportunities.
Such connections often begin with targeted advertising.
Commercial contractor advertising is what introduces you to the people you'd like to work with in the future. Your campaigns will tell developers in your area who you are and what you do. They set the stage for you to make direct contact and see what kind of work your connections can lead to.
Here's a quick guide on how to make your company stand out against other contractors.
Commercial construction advertising begins like any other kind of marketing does – with research. It's one thing to say you'd like to be building hotels and hospitals in your region. But, it's another to know who the people behind these projects are and to make them interested in you.
That's the real goal of your advertising efforts. You're not trying to land a big deal right away; rather, you're aiming to get a seat at the table where the discussions about big projects happen.
To get your foot in the door, you need to know what kind of development is happening in your area. Make a few informed projections about what kind of commercial opportunities will soon be available to you.
Do you foresee the need for more office buildings or government structures?
Is there talk of building a sports complex or arena in your town?
Answer these questions and you'll have a clear direction set in identifying the most viable commercial building opportunities for you to target with your campaigns.
Once you know which developers your campaigns are going to target, you have to get their attention. One of the best ways to do this is by expressing how experienced and knowledgeable you are about commerical construction.
Put simply, you need to start a blog.
Blogging tells potential business partners that you seriously know what you're doing. It gives you a platform to talk about all the ins and outs of the work you do. You can write blogs about topics ranging from setting a good foundation for employee safety and industry regulations.
You can also write guest blogs on industry sites. These may contribute to the traffic you get on your website, but more importantly, they expand your audience. They can help you reach more developers in places beyond your local area.
Not only does blogging tell people how much of an experienced construction company you are, but it also helps them find you in the first place!
The more you blog, the more content Google has to crawl. This increases your likelihood of coming up on the first page of SERPs whenever local developers input a relevant question. It makes it easy for people who are in need of commercial construction support to find exactly what they're looking for.
But, you have to focus on more than just your rank and page visits. You need to hone in on leads and conversions. Leads are what allow you to make direct connections with developers who need construction work. Conversions are the best way to track the ROI you're getting from all your advertising efforts.
Another way to enhance your commercial advertising strategy is to get previous clients involved. Ask them to write reviews about your work on Google My Business and on your social media pages. This will enhance your online reputation and contribute to your search performance, too.
Improving your brand's reputation makes it easier for potential partners to trust you. It makes you more approachable and adds to the level of authority you're trying to create.
From the organic search perspective, user-generated content helps you rank higher on SERPs. This content gets crawled by Google bots just as the content you publish does. It's used to rank your landing pages and match you to client inquiries.
Whether you're putting your focus on construction blogging or you're more interested in commercial advertising tools like email and social media, you need to put a big emphasis on data.
Analyzing users' response to your campaigns is the only way to determine if you're on the right track. Just as you have to put a lot of work into the content you create and how you distribute it, you also have to see if it's on-target.
Notice how much time users are spending on each of your landing pages. See how many bounce rates you have this month and compare the number of leads you have now as opposed to a few weeks ago.
At the end of the day, commercial contractor advertising comes down to one thing: content. Your content needs to be relevant, informative, and engaging. It needs to reflect your industry experience and start creating the conversion with developers.
This is the most important aspect of all your advertising tools. No matter if you're writing a blog, creating an email campaign, or posting a social media caption, the content you publish needs to be well-written and thought out.
If you need help with your content strategy, you've come to the right place.

This study aims to research whether gensini scoring of white blood cells and their subgroups and hemoglobin (Hb), hematocrit (Htc), erythroscyte and their computational tests are related, through retrospectively evaluating complete blood cell counts of patients who underwent coronary angiography with coronary artery disease (CAD) early diagnosis. Files of 267 patients, 113 women and 154 men over the age of 18, who came to Namık Kemal University Research and Practice Hospital in August 2011 and January 2012 and underwent coronary angiography with CAD early diagnosis, were scanned retrospectively. Patients were grouped as angio-negative (ANG) and angio-positive (APG) according to coronary angiography results. Gensini Scoring was done in APG patients according to angiography results. Hemogram values studied before coronery angiography as well as age, gender and other diseases of patients in both groups were recorded. When ANG and APG erythrocytic parameters were compared, Hb and Htc values did not differ significantly between groups while a significant difference was observed in mean corpuscular volume (MCV) and mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) values. White blood cell count, neutrophil, lymphocyte and monocyte counts were significantly higher in APG compared to ANG. Eosinophil and basophil values and thrombocytic parameters did not differ significantly between groups. A positive correlation was observed between Gensini Score and MCV, MCH, WBC (leukocyte), neutrophil, lymphocyte and monocyte. Consequently, our findings suggest that erythrocyte has a role in CAD pathogenesis like other blood cells or factors in CAD pathogenesis might affect erythrocyte morphology.
