This issue of AABFJ is the first in our fifth year of publication and in recognition we present papers covering the areas of finance, economics-related finance, banking and accounting. In this new research environment of ERA rankings, the ability to publish across all these fields is an important contribution. The finance paper (Lepone & Mistry 2011) examines the question of whether placing disclosed (broker placing order is identified) versus undisclosed (no broker identifier given) limit orders affects price movements on the Australian Securities Exchange. This study uses miro-trading data from SIRCA (Security Industry Research Centre of Asia-Pacific) to provide insights for both academics, regulators and practitioners.

BATTLED HIS WHOLE LIFE
Tragic schoolboy Frankie Macritchie mauled to death by bulldog was 'little fighter' who had survived 'numerous major heart surgeries'
Frankie Macritchie was just nine years old when he was fatally attacked by the dog in Cornwall on Saturday
By Dan Hall
A MEMORIAL fund has been set up to help pay for the funeral of a nine-year-old boy killed in a dog attack at a holiday park.
Frankie Macritchie, from Plymouth, died while on holiday at Tencreek Holiday Park in Looe, Cornwall, on Saturday.

A GoFundMe page launched by the family on Tuesday has a target of £5,000 to help with the costs of his funeral, with almost £3,000 raised by Wednesday afternoon.
A message on the page said Frankie had been "living life to the fullest" after being in and out of hospital throughout his short life, and said his death had "devastated" the country.
FATAL DOG ATTACK
The message said: "Frankie Gray Macritchie a name that all of us have heard over the past few days. The little boy who tragically died in a fatal dog attack whilst on holiday at Tencreek holiday park in Looe bay.
"Frankie was just like any other 9 year old boy but had to start life as a little fighter as he was born with a severe heart condition. After numerous amount of major heart surgery's and being in and out of hospital throughout his life it never stopped him from living life to the fullest.
"Frankie was a kind caring and loving little boy, a boy with a truly special beautiful heart. His death has devastated the whole of our family and I'm sure the whole of the nation.
"I am setting up a go fund me page to help raise enough funds for Frankie's funeral and give this beautiful boy the most wonderful goodbye we possibly can."
'THIS HAS SHOCKED EVERYONE'
One donor, Claire Easton, posted on the page: "Money is the last thing this family should have to think about. Hope they raise as much as possible and give him a beautiful send off."
Rosie Kyle posted: "This little man deserves the best send off ever. His strength will forever live on.
"This has shocked everyone in Plymouth, even people who didn't know him.
"He has a strong family and was loved by all who knew him. Sleep peacefully Frankie Gray, fly high with the angels baby boy."
Police were called to a caravan on the holiday park site just before 5am on Saturday to reports Frankie had been attacked by a bulldog-type breed of dog.
The schoolboy, believed to have been alone with the dog, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Hours after the incident, officers arrested a 28-year-old woman on suspicion of manslaughter and having a dog dangerously out of control.
She has since been released under police investigation pending further inquiries.
The dog was seized and remains in kennels.

Q: Angular 6 how to make one or two buttons visible I have 2 buttons on dialog, and I have to use this dialog in 2 cases, for new and for edit form. But in edit form case those 2 buttons should be visible, and in new case form only save button should be visible

    <button class="simple-btn" (click)="delete()" mat-button>Delete</button>

    <button type="button" class="simple-btn" (click)="save()" mat-button>Save</button>

A: You can add variable for each case and use ngIf on your button or on the div over. In your component you would need to set new and edit or they would need to come from an Input since you are talking about dialog.
In your component, you would need something like this:
@Input edit: boolean; // Coming from parent saying if you are in edit mode

or using some logic to assign edit:
if(logic to know if im editing) {
    edit = true or false
}

HTML:

    <button class="simple-btn" (click)="delete()" mat-button>Delete</button>

    <button type="button" class="simple-btn" (click)="save()" mat-button>Save</button>

U.S. Women Down Serbia, Earn Quarters Berth
By Bill Kauffman | August 10, 2016 , 05:12 PM (MDT)
RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil (Aug. 10, 2016) – In a battle of the two remaining undefeated teams in Olympic Games Pool B, the top-ranked U.S. Olympic Women's Volleyball Team defeated No. 6 Serbia 25-17, 21-25, 25-18, 25-19 as the American middles dominated on Wednesday at Maracanazinho Arena in Rio de Janeiro.
The Americans now take sole leadership of Pool B with a 3-0 record and eight standings points. Serbia falls to 2-1 overall and with six standings points. Team USA continues Pool B with Italy (0-3) on Aug. 12 all at 2 p.m. ET before concluding the group phase on Aug. 14 against No. 3 China at 4:05 p.m. ET.
With the victory, Team USA became the first team to earn a ticket to the knockout quarterfinal round set for Aug. 16. The top four teams from the two six-team pools advance to the quarterfinals with the top seeds crossing over to play the opposite pool's fourth seed. A drawing of lots following pool play will determine crossover matches for the pool's second- and third seeds.
Team USA's middles Rachael Adams (Cincinnati, Ohio) and Foluke Akinradewo (Plantation, Florida) combined for 34 points in the victory. Adams scored 13 kills on 19 errorless attacks, four aces and a block. Akinradewo added 16 points with 12 kills on 19 attacks and just one error to go with four blocks. The middles converted 25 of 38 of their attacks with just one error for a .632 hitting efficiency.
"Going in we knew Serbia was a very strong team and we had to take smarter swings. Alisha did a great job of moving the offense around to create a lot of awesome opportunities for our hitters. The passers were on and made Serbia's job difficult."
The U.S. overcame an early 4-1 deficit in the opening set with a 12-4 scoring run to establish a 13-8 advantage and cruised to a 25-17 victory. Serbia built a 14-9 lead in the second set and withstood a USA charge back to within one at 16-15 to win 25-21. Leading 17-15 in the third set, the U.S. used an 8-3 run to close out the set 25-18 to go up 2-1. Team USA rolled to a 21-14 lead in the fourth set, but withstood a late challenge from Serbia before winning 25-19, scoring the final three points.
"We knew, after we won the first set, that Serbia would push us back in the second and they did," Kiraly said. "Serbia put together a really nice match against us a year ago. Really pushed us around. I think they blocked us 22 times in five sets. We had won the first match of that long tournament and lost the second one. We bounced back really strong and played China the next night. We played a great match. We were excited to get another chance (against Serbia). It's been a year since we got to play Serbia since that loss. We were not backing down from that. We were excited. Not necessarily saying that we knew what was going to happen or that we were convinced we were going to win. It's always great to play against a good team."
Outside hitter Kim Hill (Portland, Oregon) contributed 13 points in the victory with 11 kills on 30 attacks and two blocks. Outside hitter Jordan Larson (Hooper, Nebraska) tacked on 11 points with nine kills, one block and one ace. Opposite Kelly Murphy (Wilmington, Illinois) scored six kills. Karsta Lowe (Rancho Santa Fe, California), a sub in all four sets as part of the double-sub, rounded out the scoring with four kills on eight attacks.
Team USA converted 47.0 percent of its attacks with a .325 hitting efficiency (55-17-117) as setter Alisha Glass (Leland, Michigan) was credited with 39 running sets on 79 total set attempts. Carli Lloyd (Bonsall, California, playing in all four sets as the setter in the double-sub with Lowe, added eight running sets.
"We've worked on a lot of things both offensively and defensively," Glass said. "I thought our passers did a great job. Our hitters did an even better job picking the right shots in the right moments. We covered each other, we played together and we were patient. (Serbia) is a good team and we have to be patient against teams like that."
When told the team had qualified for the quarterfinals, Glass was unaware of the accomplishment. She said the team is more invested in the process, not just on advancing.
"For us, it's really about the process," Glass said. "It's about us getting better throughout this whole tournament. We look at the next match as an opportunity to get better; and then the next match after that and the next match after that. We're excited to get better and improve, wherever that takes us."
Libero Kayla Banwarth (Dubuque, Iowa) had nine digs and seven excellent receptions in the victory. Larson added seven digs and eight excellent receptions. Kelsey Robinson (Bartlett, Illinois), back-row sub in all four sets, had four excellent receptions in the victory.
"When we fed our middles the ball, they put it away every time," Banwarth said. "The passers did a really nice job of scouting this team and where they're going to serve. So we really front-loaded that really well."
Team USA held a 5-3 margin in aces to offset Serbia's 11-8 advantage in blocks. The Americans held a slim 55-51 lead in kills. The U.S. defense held Serbia to a 42.5 kill percent and .258 hitting efficiency (51-20-120).
"Our servers did a really nice job making things easy for us," Kiraly said. "Serbia passed much better a year ago than they did tonight."
The previous two meetings between USA and Serbia had gone five sets. The Americans defeated the Serbs 25-18, 24-26, 30-28, 19-25, 15-9 on July 12 last year as the American roster included just five of the current Olympians. Karsta Lowe scored a match-high 21 points. In the second meeting of 2015, Serbia shocked the U.S. with a 25-20, 22-25, 18-25, 25-19, 15-6 comeback in the second match of the FIVB World Cup. Serbia out-blocked the Americans 22-10 in the match. In the deciding fifth set, Serbia started with a 6-1 lead with three aces.
"Serbia is a team we lost to in World Cup," Banwarth said. "We were hungry to get some revenge on them. I think it was a 'go get it' kind of mentality."
USA is 15-2 in its last 16 Olympic Games matches dating back to Aug. 13, 2008. The only two losses have been to Brazil in the gold-medal match of the 2008 and 2012 Olympic Games.
Team USA has never won Olympic gold in women's indoor volleyball despite being on the cusp on several occasions. The U.S. finished with the silver in each of the last two Olympics in 2008 and 2012, falling to Brazil both times in the gold-medal match. The Americans also earned silver at the 1984 Olympic Games, followed by bronze in 1992. In fact, Team USA has garnered only one gold medal in any of the three major volleyball tournaments (Olympics, FIVB World Championship and FIVB World Cup), and that was only two years ago when the Americans broke through and earned the 2014 FIVB World Championship title in Italy.
Serbia scored three unanswered points to take a 4-1 advantage in the opening set, but Larson slammed a winner and Serbia hit wide to cut the gap to 4-3. Larson connected for a kill and promptly followed with an ace, then Serbia hit wide giving the Americans their first lead at 7-6. Murphy added a fourth unanswered point with a cross-court winner at 8-6 prompting a Serbia timeout. After Serbia ended the run, Murphy hit a winner and Serbia hit into the net to expand the Team USA lead to 10-7. Akinradewo roofed Serbia on consecutive plays after a Serbia service error to stretch the American lead to 13-8. Serbia came back to win the next two points to trim its deficit to 13-10, then closed to two at 14-12. Adams and Larson pounded back-to-back kills to raise the U.S. lead to 17-13 at a Serbian timeout. Adams downed a kill and Serbia hit long to push the U.S. advantage to 19-14. Adams served an ace to and Akinradewo blocked a Serbia attack to extend the lead to 22-15. Team USA ended the set with a 25-17 victory.
Serbia scored the first two points of the second set, but USA quickly went up 3-2 with an Adams kill around two Serbian errors. Yet, Serbia scored the next three points to bounce the lead to its side at 5-3. Serbia increased its advantage to 9-5 with three straight points heading into a Team USA timeout. Adams and Murphy stopped the run with consecutive kills and Serbia hit into the net to cut the gap to 9-8. Serbia answered with three straight points out of a timeout to go up 12-8 and inched the margin to 14-9. Team USA trimmed the deficit to 16-14 with an Adams kill and consecutive Serbia errors. Out of a Serbia timeout, the U.S. added a fourth straight point with a Larson kill to close to 16-15. Serbia went back up by three at 20-17 with an ace off the net and pushed the gap to 22-18 after an American attack error. Serbia finished the set at 25-21.
The U.S. went up 4-2 early in the third set as Serbia committed back-to-back errors. Serbia went up 6-4 with four straight points. Murphy and Adams each scored kills to bring USA into a tie at 7-all, then Adams hammered a second straight kill to give Team USA an 8-7 lead. Murphy slammed a kill to extend the American lead to 10-8 prompting Serbia to call timeout. Out of the break, Serbia committed an error to extend the Team USA lead to 11-8. Serbia came back to within one at 14-13 with an ace. However, Adams and Larson slammed kills to give the Americans a three-point cushion at 16-13. Out of a Serbia timeout, Adams put up a monster block at 17-13. Serbia answered with back-to-back points to cut its deficit in half at 17-15. Adams and Hill answered with winners to push the U.S. lead back to four at 19-15. Akinradewo scored two kills around a block on three straight plays to put the Americans in front 23-17. Hill gave the U.S. set points at 24-17 with a kill, the fourth straight Team USA point. Akinradewo ended the set with a overpass kill at 25-18.
After Serbia scored the first two points of the fourth set, Adams answered with a kill and ace and Akinradewo added a kill to present the USA with a 3-2 lead. Team USA went up 5-3 with consecutive Akinradewo kills. The Americans went up 8-5 as Serbia hit wide. Serbia scored three unanswered points to level the score at 9-all. Team USA responded with kills from Larson and Adams to go back up by two at 11-9. Serbia committed consecutive errors and Adams served an ace off the net to extend the USA to a 14-10 advantage. Out of a Serbia timeout, Hill put up a block and Adams served another ace for a fifth straight point at 16-10. Serbia stopped the run with back-to-back points to close to 16-12. Akinradewo and Lowe turned in consecutive kills to put the Americans up 19-13 at Serbia's second timeout. Lowe hammered consecutive kills to push the American lead to 21-14, but Serbia stopped the run with four straight point to close the gap to 21-18. Hill capped the set with a kill and block for the 25-19 victory.

Science demonstration-food coloring in hot and cold water; spreads much faster in the hot! From science lesson 'Interactive Notes-States Of Matter'.
What's the hardest part of any 9th grade science lesson plan? For most of us it's capturing our students' attention. Since worksheets usually aren''t that breathtaking, I've found that a different approach works better. My 9th grade science lesson plans were designed to be interactive with your students- to provide a reason for them to listen as well as give you a centerpiece you can build on. An involved student will pay attention and take ownership in the activity, which fuels their interest even more. And that''s what causes them to "buy into it".
As you mentally prepare for each of your 9th grade science lesson plans, be intentional about everything. Nothing should happen by accident or by chance (at least not many things; science class should occasionally reflect real science and encounter surprises).
That''s the beauty of the Yellow Sheet– almost nothing can sneak up on you. Using this method of planning for your 9th grade science lesson plans, you''ll overlook no detail. It may sound like a lot of work and different from anything else you''ve ever done, but if you often feel frustrated with what goes on in your room, try it for a week and see how it goes. You''ll find that when you''re intentional and not accidental, more will get done and the tone will be more positive.
Is there anything more cool than noticing in the middle of a 9th grade science lesson plans that every single student is listening to you? Think of how amazing that is- what you have them engaged in is more important than anything else going on inside your students' heads- lunch, boyfriends, clouds drifting by outside the window, the latest rumor. Getting everyone there is not easy. But how do you get there? And how is it that some teachers seem to always have everyone's full attention, while others seldom have anyone's?
There are many ways to effectively manage a classroom, even with a very 9th grade science lesson plans. And because your style and personality are different from everyone else''s, so should your method of managing. It has to comfortably be you in charge and not another teacher and their style being emulated. And it has to result in your students realizing that you are the one and only person in charge. Your goal here is not tyranny, but to reach a point where students trust that you will do what''s in their best interest. Good preparation is another key, so that you are not caught off guard and allow your emotions to make impulsive decisions. You can learn more about being prepared by reading about the Yellow Sheet.
If things are frequently out of control in your room, hold off on the 9th grade science lesson plans for a bit. Read some books and talk to another teacher with lots of experience and who manages their class well. In other words, do something about it! If you don't know what to do, then you need to learn. As they say- if you keep doing what you''ve been doing then you're going to keep getting what you''ve been getting. And listen to the advice of people who have their classrooms under control. You''ll discover that a well-run classroom is one that pays close attention to the "little things", and where the students' best interest plays a major role in most decisions.
To your relief, none of my 9th grade science lesson plans will ask you to do every thing for every student. In fact, you''ll notice a complete shift of who does what in my 9th grade science lesson plans. Students, not you, are the ones doing things. Your job is to stand back and make sure people do what they're supposed to do, and the outcomes are what they''re supposed to be. Then you can move in with dialogue when their minds are primed and ready. This method may be uncomfortable for you at first. But the rewards are worth it.
By handing over the best part of your 9th grade science lesson plans to students- the demonstration- you're showing trust. Most students will respond to this by rewarding you (and themselves) with a higher level of maturity, and now everyone''s winning. In my 9th grade science lesson plans your role is to give students enough clear instruction so they know what to do. But always leave some "play" room that they can use to discover things for themselves. Having come upon something amazing with their own hands, they will naturally go further and manipulate variables, enriching the discussion even more. Now that is real science.

The murky waters of the river were putting on a hue of grey as our boat 'Bijoya' bobbed up and down violently. The gusts were growing stronger. I could see rumbling clouds approaching from the south. A guffaw escaped my mouth and the fifteen men on 'Bijoya' turned towards me in unison.
A chorus of 'Joi Ai Axom' emerged from the men who held their Hengdangs, singled edged swords and tapped the hilt on the hull as a mark of respect. Like a pack of foxes, the response emancipated. The four naval vessels on our left Agni, Ajagor, Gor, and Baiyulet out their war cry in a suite. The five on the right Padma, Joymoti, Jalabagh, Bijulee, Baaz, and Trishool did not allow their predecessor's cry to die out and joined in. The valley between the Ashwakranta and Andharubali banks reverberated with the echoes of Ahom warriors, clad in maroon Solah(shirt) and militia headgear.
I was the PaniPhukan of the 'Bijoya', well-set wood, hammered together by nails, made sturdy by filling gaps with resin and bee wax, spanning 20 meters, the nose decorated with a brass snake. The fifteen able men at my command were restless. They were inhabitants of Axom. They were not letting their home be laid waste to by anyone, even if he claimed to be the Emperor of a nation.
The warning drum played aboard the Baaz, the scout boat with the strongest rowing arms in the kingdom. It was a spotter for us. The Moghuls were here.
I peered into the horizon towards Saraighat. At the foot of the Neelachal Hills, I saw them. Thirty broad hulled naval warships. The beastly ships advanced slowly in a disciplined formation.
"These Asurs have loaded more than 10 battle guns on one ship, the only reason they are moving slow." I shouted to the other Phukans.
"A hard day at work indeed. I need to finish this and head home for some rice and pork." DhonSaikia commandeering the Jalabagh sneered.
The spotter atop the Neelachal Hill lighted the fire as the smoke signal. That was our signal and the Ahom fleet glided downstream towards a direct confrontation.
Baiyuand Bijuleewere lightning fast and highly maneuverable with 30 men each. They were in the center of the formation, flanked by Padma and Joymoti. They were the vessels with the highest capacity of 50 militia and 20 archers each. The Ajagor and Gor were moving much nearer to the right bank. The Ajogorboasted of being the longest boat in the navy and also the swiftest. The Gorwas clumsy but for a better purpose. The Jalabagh, Agni, and Trishool were the first line of attack. They were gunships with medium sized guns which could make many a coconut tree fall.
The Bijoya was an agile warship with a JuiTope (Fire Canon) which was hidden from plain sight. LachitBarphukan entrusted us to play the Kola Ghura in this Rann of Saraighat and we were precisely going to play that.
The Sepena maneuver was devised inspired by pincher of a crab. The objective was to secure a break in their formation and force them to congregate at the center and squeeze them from the side till they surrendered or spilled out like intestines when cut open.
The Agni passed between two ships at the centre and let a barrage of their artillery rip through the Moghul war monsters. The ships let a counter fire loose on Agni but the eel escaped and re-routed to move for the second wave. The third and the fourth ships were targeted next and men flew around as the Ahom artillery tore through the light wood. The loss of ships in quick succession created a space in the middle of the river. It was a matter of worry for them and so they moved in to close the gap. Agni positioned itself for another wave and moved in. The converging ships dropped their anchor immediately and halted. A second later a barbaric rain of cannons left splinters and spleen of the crew aboard Agni, flying.
There were cries of a shock for a moment and then blind rage took control of the entire platoon of Ahoms upon the Brahmaputra that fateful day.
The Trishool glided menacingly towards the two warships in contrasting colours, black and white. The two horns made of iron attached to the front end rammed into the lower hull of the two warships and rendered them unable to be steered. The huge cannons were not mobile enough to be pointed towards Trishool. The two Shools were the horns, but the third Shool was infact the armed militia of the vessel who riddled the Moghul crew with indigenous guns. It laid waste to six Asurabahans.
The Jalabagh was given the name 'Water Tiger' as a respect to its commander's ability to use his resources to pounce on a naval vessel and decimate it. It moved cautiously towards a ship and with a sudden surge in speed, it latches on to a hull by means of jagged sharp hooks and blows an enormous hole in its hull from a close range for maximum damage.
The TrishoolandJalabagh were unleashing chaos and mayhem in the middle of the Brahmaputra. The Moghul ships were reinforcing their formation with the strength of quantity. The Bijuleeand Baiyu raced ahead to execute their operation. In random patterns, they encircled the ships and rained arrows and bullets. They were to distract the fleet like flies.
The Padma and Joymoti stealthily moved towards the confluence of more than half of the Moghul fleet in the middle. The final blow was disembarking on them and finishing off each Moghul by severing their heads.
A blinding flash followed by whiff of burnt blood in the air. The Padma was half of what it used to be. The lifeless bodies of the men floated away in the river emerging from the sinking boat.
This time around, the surge for the loss, did not fuel the want to win. Rather, it made us feel for the minuscule moment that this was an endeavour in futility. The instilled horror and fear filled the men's mind with doubts and Trishool was surrounded by ships and its men massacred.
Two successive noises of metal crashing through wood and the cheering of the Moghuls made me realize we had lost Bijuleeand Baiyu too. Jalabagh was retreating and Joymoti was close on its heels. DhonSaikia signalled me to fall back. I knew the time had come.
"Today we might know where men go when they die for their country. The dog should be taught not to piss on a rhino's leg to mark his territory." I egged my men on.
The Moghul warships were in pursuit of Jalabaghand Joymoti. The 'Bijoya' was moving towards a barrage of ships in the middle of the river. We were the last line of defense between the landing port and the Moghul forces.
The bastards never knew what hit them. The JuiTope had a violent fire capacity and minimal reload rate. The men were at their efficient best. I could see each one had a look of desperateness. Desperate to make the march of the Moghuls halt. Three ships were washed ashore and experienced the brunt of the Fire Canon. An arrow whizzed past me and hit the militia behind me. The gigantic fleet was still not weakened and a warship which was painted olive green rained arrows on the 'Bijoya'. The causalities were piling up. I screamed at the men to grab their swords and jump onto the ships. I hauled myself into the red one, sliced open a Moghul's belly. Ducked and jammed the sword in another's throat. Knocked one off the boat with the hilt. Then I saw it.
Seven boats marked with the Ahom insignia were approaching our ship. I roared to my men.
The rush of adrenaline this development provided, made me and my men rid the Moghul warship of its crew, and we jumped aboard the 'Bijoya' to join the Barphukan.
"The King has put all the people in my hands to fight the Moghuls. Shall I go back to my wife and children?" he asked and did not wait for an answer but charged right into the heart of the revived battle.
The four boats from the Seven broke off and moved towards the left bank. The retreating Jalabaghand Joymoti added to the remaining three and the six charged towards the still functioning fifteen Moghul warships.
The strong hull of the Ahom ships crashed onto the enemy vessels and we poured into their ships like ants. A land war was being fought over water. The foes were sturdy built and it started to become a matter of concern about the sheer number of soldiers each ship was holding. We needed reinforcements.
A thunderclap sounded and it started to drizzle. That was however not the actual sound of thunder. It was Gor, the boat following its orders. The ramming boat of the Ahom Navy was merrily demolishing the ships from the right side. The Sepena had been deployed. The four boats from the Barphukan's fleet formed a bridge from the left to the heap of ships in the middle of the river. The Ajogor joined in from the right bank.
The Ahom soldiers charged in on horses over the boat bridge and broke the resisting Moghul defense. The bank of the right also had substantial forces which pressed on from the opposite direction suffocating the Moghuls.
The sound of a distance trumpet caught my attention. Three hundred strong Moghul cavalry emerged in the horizon on the bank near Ashwakranta. They charged towards the boat bridge. If they would have got to the bridge, the Ahoms would have been vandalized. I closed my eyes and accepted my fate. I opened them and grasped my hengdang tightly for clean severing of heads.
As the first row of cavalry approached the bank, it vanished into a curtain of dust. I scanned the area in awe. The sight brought a smug smile to my lips. Trenches had already been dug and filled with sharp ended bamboos. Half of the cavalry was lost at that instant.

More than half of young adults are overweight, study says
More than half of young adults, ages 18-25 are overweight, study shows.(WECT)
By Mara McJilton
WILMINGTON, N.C. (WECT) - A recent study shows that more than half of 18-25 year old's are overweight.
"We have seen a significant increase in [body mass index], in overweight status and obesity over the last few decades," Dr. Tori Asbury, a family physician from Novant Health said. "The concern with this increase that we're seeing is really related to the adverse health consequences that were going to see as time goes on. The increase in BMI in those affected by obesity — [they] have an increased risk of metabolic diseases as they progress into adulthood."
Dr. Asbury explained the importance of working on preventative measures and making small lifestyle changes to live a healthier life.
"Prevention is always kind of key. Making healthy food choices, avoiding processed foods — we see a lot of increase with high calorie drinks and alcohol consumption — that can really add to the increase we're seeing," Dr. Asbury said. "I think one thing that we could certainly think about is activity level. As a culture, we have our phones or tablets and have on demand access to everything. So, our general activity levels are really low, so getting out and being more active on a daily basis as well as intentionally scheduling exercise can make a big improvement. It is a good starting point for a lot of people."
Health officials recommend 5,000 to 10,000 steps per day. In addition, an average of 150 minutes to 300 minutes of scheduled moderate-to-intense level exercise is recommended each week, or 75 to 100 minutes if it's a more vigorous exercise.
When talking about the pandemic Dr. Asbury noted that those statistics likely aren't reflected in these numbers yet, but there will certainly be an uptick in overweight individuals once that data is included.
"We're looking at a cultural shift now where people are doing school online, people are working from home, so this is really decreasing a lot of the activity that we've seen before," Dr. Asbury said. "We know that stress can contribute to weight gain."
Dr. Asbury also emphasized the importance of taking care of your overall health when looking towards the future.
"I think just focusing on prevention of becoming overweight or having elevated BMI at a younger age is very important. One thing that we need to remember is that we can affect our future children by the choices that we have now and we can affect our future outcome. So, I think that's an important take home message for the young adult population," Dr. Asbury said.

For the Sake of Hugh the Manatee: Maddie and Hugh's Big Adventure is written by Pete Hodgson and Udo Wahn M.D. with artwork by Ron Croci. It is a creative and unique piece, written with imaginative characters and plot but conveys the reality of truth in the message. This is a story of adventure, excitement, and caring for humanity and the earth.
Maddie lives by a river and the sea and goes to school at a seaside learning center. When school is over, she goes down to the water in search of her favorite friend Hugh, who is a manatee. Hugh is not feeling himself so he and Maddie set out on an adventure back to the salt water of the ocean, hoping to find a cure for Hugh and what ails him. Using her Standup board, Maddie ventures with Hugh through the fresh water river to the ocean, only to find along the way that the once clear water has been polluted. With help from the other sea creatures, family, and friends, Maddie sets a goal to help clean up the ocean and the river environment so her sea and river friends can live in a healthy environment.
Pete Hodgson and Udo Wahn have done a fantastic job. The book pages themselves are beautifully laid out and displayed with colorful, vibrant pictures for children and adults of all ages to enjoy. This book is absolutely a treasured learning resource. The importance of the message within its pages is a great one; keep the water environments clean and safe for all who live in and around them.
Thank you very much for the outstanding review. It was my honor to contribute to this outstanding piece of children's literature.

NHL leading scorer Nikita Kucherov has been suspended for Game 3 of the Tampa Bay Lightning's first-round series against the Columbus Blue Jackets. Kucherov was suspended for boarding Columbus defenseman Markus Nutivaara late in Tampa Bay's 5-1 loss in Game 2 to trail 2-0 in the series.
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — NHL leading scorer Nikita Kucherov has been suspended for Game 3 of the Tampa Bay Lightning's first-round series against the Columbus Blue Jackets.
Kucherov was suspended for boarding Columbus defenseman Markus Nutivaara late in Tampa Bay's 5-1 loss in Game 2 to trail 2-0 in the series. Kucherov was given a major penalty and ejected for hitting Nutivaara in a defenseless position with 4:26 remaining in the lopsided defeat.
The Presidents' Trophy winning Lightning will have to try to win in Columbus on Sunday without the player who put up a league-best 128 points during the season. They also could be without banged-up Norris Trophy caliber defenseman Victor Hedman, who did not practice Saturday.
In a video announcing the suspension, the league said Kucherov's action falls in the category of message-sending because it came in the final minutes of a one-sided game.

TUCSON, Ariz., USA: Researchers at the University of Arizona (UA) have invented a device that, for the first time, allows neurosurgeons, who use microscopes extensively while operating, to see blood flowing inside vessels and more clearly distinguish cancerous from healthy tissue under the microscope. This augmented microscopy technology will help surgeons operate with more precision without having to learn new technical skills or adapt to changes in the operating room.
The technology gives surgeons a much more detailed picture in real time and helps them stay on course in surgeries where being off by 2 mm could cause paralysis, blindness and even death. "When we started developing this technology, we thought of it like a Google map of a surgical view, providing layers of pertinent information in real time," said Dr. Marek Romanowski, Associate Professor of Biomedical Engineering at UA. "Our augmented technology provides diagnostic information under the microscope on demand and in color, appearing directly over tissue a surgeon is operating on—as if the tissue was painted to help direct the surgeon's work."
Romanowski describes the invention with lead author Jeffrey Watson, a biomedical engineering doctoral student at UA, Dr. G. Michael Lemole Jr., Chief of the Division of Neurosurgery in the Department of Surgery at the UA College of Medicine, and UA neurosurgery resident Dr. Nikolay Martirosyan in an article published recently in the Journal of Biomedical Optics.
The new technology overlays the actual image a surgeon sees under a microscope with an electronically processed image using near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence. Most neurosurgeons must look up from a surgical microscope, or stereomicroscope, to view fluorescence on a display monitor. However, this fluorescence shows only contrast in black and white, not anatomical structures or their spatial relationships. Thus, surgeons must visualize how fluorescence lines up with the anatomical structures they see under the microscope. The new add-on technology developed at the UA removes such interruptions or guesswork by showing surgeons real and fluorescence images simultaneously and in one location. The microscope adapted to project fluorescence switches back and forth between the real and electronic views, with the surgeon's field of vision shortly fading to black in between.
"Surgeons need more information than can be provided by stereomicroscopes alone," said Dr. Jennifer Barton, Professor of Biomedical Engineering at UA and interim Director of the UA BIO5 Institute, who specializes in cancer imaging. "Dr. Romanowski's augmented microscopy technology provides critical functional information that can improve surgical accuracy and efficiency."
The new device, a small box fitted inside a surgical microscope, combines electronic circuitry and optical technologies to superimpose the fluorescence image on the real one and send the augmented view up through the microscope's right eyepiece to the surgeon.
Perhaps the most valuable application of augmented microscopy is treating brain cancer, Romanowski pointed out. More than 20,000 new cases of primary brain cancer are diagnosed in the U.S. each year, and each year nearly 16,000 patients die from the disease, he said. Of the half-million patients who die of any other cancer, up to a third have some form of cancer spreading to the brain. "Brain cancer is especially difficult to remove," he explained. "Current surgical microscopes limit how much of the cancer tissue surgeons can see and how precisely they can determine its boundaries."
Lemole, a skull base neurosurgeon, routinely operates on brain cancer patients, manipulating vessels the width of a pin to remove malignant tumors. "Aggressive resection is associated with the risk of removing normal brain tissue and impairing functions of the patient," he and his co-authors write in the journal. "On the other hand, incomplete resection of a tumor results in its immediate relapse in 90 percent of patients. Intraoperative NIR imaging may aid in resection of these challenging tumors."
Augmented microscopy also holds promise for treating aneurysms. Neurosurgeons treat an aneurysm by sealing it off from connecting vessels to prevent a rupture. Nearly half of patients with ruptured aneurysms die, Lemole said, and at least half of the survivors have major mobility and other problems. Augmented technology could improve the prognosis of aneurysm patients, by giving surgeons real-time feedback on every delicate and potentially deadly surgical maneuver they make.
The article, titled "Augmented microscopy: real-time overlay of bright-field and near-infrared fluorescence images," was published in the October edition of the Journal of Biomedical Optics.


Nobody is Perfect - with such a large endeavour as the BACC II book, with so many contributions, it cannot be ruled out that some errors have slipped through. To make this as transparent as possible and to allow corrections to be published, we have added a "Corrigenda" page on this website. May this page have as few entries as possible! A corrigendum on the MWP temperature is now online. The BACC Blog should be the discussion forum for any controversial issues.
There will be e a short launch event in the frame of ECCA 2015 the European Climate Change Adaptation Conference, 12-14 May in Copenhagen, with an expected 1.000 participants. This conference seems perfect for the launch of the book, as international stakeholders interested in regional climate change information will gatther there.
The event will be on Thursday 14 May as Midday Plenary in the Auditorium 11 of the Bella Center in Copenhagen, 13:15 - 13:45.
HELCOM representative (asked) HELCOM is the intergovernmental commission for the protection of the Baltic Sea, and an important policy-science interface in the Baltic Sea region. HELCOM has been a prime stakeholder of BACC, and two HELCOM Thematic Assessment Reports were published on the basis of the BACC material.
Earlier on this day (Thursday 14 May), a short summary of the BACC II book will be presented in the Session "Adapting the Baltic Sea region to a changing climate" under the Topic "Regional Challenges and Opportunities", at 8:30 in the Auditorium 12.
The conference will discuss and review the new scientific results and developments with the scientific community and intends to create awareness of the BACC II results and possible related societal implications in relevant stakeholders and the public in large. Scientists as well as the interested public and stakeholders are invited to attend.
3rd BACC II Lead Author Team meeting held in Copenhagen, Denmark, on 9 and 10 February 2012.
Interview on the state of the Baltic Sea with 3 leading german climate scientists (Hartmut Graßl, Stefan Rahmsdorff, Hans von Storch), in German.
1st BACC II Lead Author Meeting successfully completed.
BACC II (Second BALTEX Assessment of Climate Change for the Baltic Sea basin) is the successor to BACC, which was terminated with the publication of the BACC book. The purpose of the first BACC assessment (BACC) was to provide the scientific community with an assessment of ongoing climate variations in the Baltic Basin. An important element was the comparison with the historical past. Also, changes in relevant environmental systems, due to climate variations, were assessed – such as hydrological, ocean and ecosystem changes. The work has generated a large activity around the Baltic Sea with more than 80 authors writing the assessment and a close cooperation with HELCOM. The BACC book was published by Springer in January 2008.
The aim of BACC II is to organize and publish an updated assessment by 2014, building on and extending BACC.

This lotion is amazing. The scent is lovely and long lasting. It is not overly sweet like some vanilla fragrances can be. I hope this line is a permanent addition to the thymes family!
I didn't particuliarly care for this fragrance,just a personal fragrance preference,some simuliarities to bath and body's warm vanilla sugar fragrance, with a faint hint of spice,almost like the mirabelle plum fragrance,to me anyways,Is how I would describe it. As always great quality from the thymes, just not the scent I was looking for. It was quite strong almost like some of the headache giving coconut lotions.Hoping it would be just a simple authentic vanilla fragrance,like crabtree-evelyns vanilla,I hope to see more fragrances like red cherie,or just something simple like almond come out,I love the tea fragrances also.
The lotion makes my skin feel like silk! The fragrance is absolutely scrumptious.....however, for me, after the initial vanilla fragrance, there seemed to be a vague peppery smell which I wasn't too keen about as I do not like or use pepper. but it was very vague and not that much of a negative experience to affect the overall pleasantries of the vanilla and other beautiful scents. I also would have liked to had a longer experience of the smell of the lotion on my skin but I did allow for the fact that maybe my sense of smell got used to the fragrance and that is why I didn't have the pleasant experience of smelling the lotion on me after a while. Overall. I personally would purchase this lotion in the future as I really enjoy the beautiful scent and the silky feeling of the lotion on my skin.


I've got the luck of working on this amazing VR project directed by James A. Castillo and NoGhost. I've got to do from design for the set and props, to the brand and communication of the pitch.
I got hired to help develop this new tabletop game's IP called "City of Mist" for their Kickstarter campaign. I've got the chance to create the brand and style that it'll be needed for future expansions of the product.
I was hired to join the Art Team of Bee Square Games, and help them to create and continue their IPs. Since is a very small studio, we ended it up doing most of the art for presentations, game development, integration in the engine... even doing the marketing all localized for different countries.

V-TWIN FUN FOR ALL RIDERS: SV650A
Since its first public appearance in March, the SV650A has been an eye catcher to the majority of bike enthusiasts. The new SV650 is a rider's go-anywhere dream machine which is built to deliver SV that stands for so many things: Sporty V-twin, Superior Value, and Simple and Versatile.
Sporty V-twin: Suzuki's V-twin engine's calibrated irregular firing intervals create a unique heartbeat-like sound and linear power delivery. It is a motorcycle dominating the racing V-twin cup and can also easily fit in the city riding condition.
Superior Value: In order to further improve overall fuel efficiency and emissions control, the V-twin- engine came with a lot of innovations such as Dual Spark 90 degree V-Twin, Suzuki Composite Electrochemical Material (SCEM), Dual Spark Technology, newly designed pistons and rings, Suzuki's Dual Throttle Valve (SDTV) Fuel injection and Low RPM Assist Control.
Simple and Versatile: The simple base design of the SV650 is right at home on all roads — whether it's a sprawling modern city or the suburban country side. Engineered to all riders, this motorcycle delivers an unforgettable experience with every ride you take now and a long way down the road. Take the keys then take command of excitement.
The SV650A is available in 3 colors – Black, Blue and White which are all priced at Php 399,000. The red variant will also arrive within the year.
THE APEX PREDATOR: GSX-S750
The new GSX-S750 is ready to rockthe streets with its powerful 749cm3 four-cylinder fuel-injected engine that is especially tuned and refined to maximize its potential on the streets and on winding roads. The GSX-S750 features the best of both worlds by having greater power with fewer emissions plus a Three-mode traction control system that provides greater confidence and reduces fatigue by delivering control over engine output that helps prevent rear wheel spin.
The system operates so smoothly and naturally that it does not interfere with handling, even when the rider wishes to engage in aggressive sports riding. It is also leading in its class with its superb parts such as crankcase ventilation holes, long nosed fuel injectors, final gear ratio optimized for positive acceleration, sound tuning, and easy start system.
This is the perfect sportbike for all bike enthusiasts who are looking for maximum performance and a dynamic ride. A true apex predator with a supersport engine, armed with the latest technologies that you can carry wherever you want to ride, in style.

SUPREME SOAR: V-STROM 1000XT
It is powered by a new generation ABS which ensures safe maneuverability while traversing the mountain roads. The Bosch ABS system has been upgraded to the "Motion Track Brake System" by installing a 5-Axis Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), and by combining the information of the posture of the vehicle with the front and rear wheel speeds, realizing optimal vehicle stability when braking not only in straight-line but also when cornering. This new sophisticated system instantly assesses the need of ABS application when the lever or pedal is operated by calculating the posture of the vehicle and wheel speeds.
Also a new feature is the Combination Brake which automatically applies pressure to the rear brake when the front brake pressure rises to a certain point. This technology, combined with the Motion Track Brake System, will support the rider to trace the intended line to an extent in situations such as sudden/excessive braking in corners, efficiently reducing the speed and stabilizing the vehicle even when at various lean angles. It also inherits the Advanced Traction Control System from the previous model which enables the rider to control the throttle with more confidence in difficult riding situations.
Popular for its comfort, the new V-Strom 1000 XT raised the bar once again to next level of ease. The newly designed faring controlling the wind, combined with the bike's lightweight and maneuverable nature, has advanced its mile-eating performance to take you even further. Reducing the wind blast to the hands of the rider and providing comfort especially in the rain or cold weather, the once optional Knuckle Covers are now standard to support harsh condition riding. Comfort and accurate control to the levers are improved by installing the optional Grip Heaters for long distance rides in severe conditions.
The Under Cowling is also standard to give the rider that extra adventure feel. The V-Strom 1000XT also comes with a Rios which gives more flexibility and durability when touring. Embrace the thrill of touring and soar supreme with the new V-Strom 1000XT.
For an extensive adventure experience, the V-Strom 1000XT also comes with accessories. The V-Strom 1000XT is available in Yellow and White colors with an SRP of Php 734,000.

Webster's Bible Genesis Chapter 40:1-23.
40:2 And Pharaoh was wroth with two of his officers, with the chief of the butlers, and with the chief of the bakers.
40:3 And he put them in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, into the prison, the place where Joseph was bound.
40:4 And the captain of the guard charged Joseph with them, and he served them; and they continued a season in custody.
40:5 And they dreamed a dream both of them, each man his dream in one night, each man according to the interpretation of his dream; the butler and the baker of the king of Egypt, who were bound in the prison.
40:6 And Joseph came to them in the morning, and looked upon them, and behold, they were sad.
40:7 And he asked Pharaoh's officers that were with him in the ward of his lord's house, saying, Why look ye so sad to-day?
40:8 And they said to him, We have dreamed a dream, and there is no interpreter of it. And Joseph said to them, Do not interpretations belong to God? tell me them, I pray you.
40:11 And Pharaoh's cup was in my hand: and I took the grapes, and pressed them into Pharaoh's cup, and I gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand.
40:13 Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thy head, and restore thee to thy place: and thou shalt deliver Pharaoh's cup into his hand, after the former manner when thou wast his butler.
40:15 For indeed I was stolen away from the land of the Hebrews: and here also have I done nothing that they should put me into the dungeon.
40:17 And in the uppermost basket there was of all manner of bake-meats for Pharaoh; and the birds ate them out of the basket upon my head.
40:19 Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thy head from off thee, and shall hang thee on a tree; and the birds shall eat thy flesh from off thee.
40:20 And it came to pass the third day, which was Pharaoh's birth-day, that he made a feast to all his servants: and he lifted up the head of the chief butler and of the chief baker among his servants.
40:23 Yet the chief butler did not remember Joseph, but forgot him.


This "mother of all sundaes" made its original debut on Mother's Day 2011, and was featured that year in Vogue. The next summer, we decided to switch it up and developed our Shortcake Crumble for this summertime treat. Our aim was to get everything you love about berry shortcake into one bite, and the crumble was the perfect solution.
Publisher retains all copyrights and the right to require immediate removal of this excerpt for copyright or other business reasons.
To make the crumble: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Empty the dough onto a nonstick rimmed baking sheet and spread it out with your fingers, separating and breaking up larger clumps so they're no bigger than 2 inches in diameter. There will be gaps in the dough through which you can see the metal of the pan.
Bake the crumble until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. When it's cool, use your fingers to break up the crumble into bite-sized pieces 1 inch or smaller.
Store in a covered plastic container at room temperature for up to 1 day or frozen for up to 3 months. If frozen, allow to thaw in the refrigerator overnight before serving. Makes about 4 cups.
To make the compote: Wash and hull the strawberries, discarding any that are bad and cutting away soft spots as necessary. Cut larger berries in halves or quarters, so that all berries are in pieces no bigger than 1 inch. Set aside one-fourth of the berries. Place the remaining berries and sugar in a large pot, stir, cover, and let sit at room temperature for 15 minutes. (This will draw the juice out of the berries.) Bring the berries to a boil over medium-high heat, decrease the heat to medium-low and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and, using a potato (or bean) masher, mash the compote in the saucepan 15 times. Add the remaining berries and the lemon juice. Let cool 15 minutes before proceeding to the next step.
Place a strainer over a large bowl and pour the berry mixture into it in manageable batches, stirring to release the liquid. What's left in the strainer is your Strawberry Compote. The liquid in the bowl is Strawberry Syrup. Voilà, you just made two recipes in one!
Store the compote and syrup in covered glass jars or plastic containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. The compote and syrup may also be frozen in plastic containers for up to 3 months. If frozen, allow to thaw in the refrigerator overnight before serving. Makes about 4 cups each of strawberry compote and strawberry syrup.
To make the whipped cream: Pour the cream into a large bowl (a metal one, if you have it, which will chill more quickly than other materials) and place the bowl, along with the beaters from the electric mixer, in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Using an electric mixer fitted with the chilled beaters, beat the cream on medium until soft peaks form. (To test for soft peaks, dip a spoon in the cream and pull it back out. The action should pull up a small "hill," the point of which will flop over. Picture a dog with floppy ears.) Sift the confectioners' sugar into the bowl, add the vanilla paste, and keep beating until stiff peaks form. (Test the same way you did for soft peaks, but this time picture a dog with ears that stick straight up.) Stop beating immediately (or you risk making butter). Makes about 4 cups.
Serve within 2 hours, refrigerating the cream if you're not serving it immediately.
To make the sundae: Place 1 scoop of the ice cream in the center of a beehive sundae bowl. Press the second scoop firmly down on top of the first scoop, creating a double stack. Spoon the compote over and around the ice cream in the bottom of the bowl, then cover with the crumble. Top with the whipped cream and garnish with strawberries. Serve immediately.

Sacred Dagger: Forging the Keris Blade
Post author:Andrew Galli
About 1/2 mile drive from the busting city-centre of Solo in Central Java we find the village of Wonosari. Wonosari is a residential village, typical of many villages in Central Java, Indonesia. But it has a very important distinction — it is home to one of the last 'traditional' metal working collectives, where prized Indonesian daggers or 'keris' blades are made.
Much more than an occupation for the metal forgers and workers, making the sacred dagger or 'keris' (pronounced 'criss') is a passion, akin to a daily spiritual ritual. This dedicated approach to blade making goes back centuries, where the process of material selection, blessing, forging, finishing, embellishing and finally encasing is strictly controlled to ensure the finest results possible.
Each blade is unique, often produced to mark a life-related event, or at the request of the collector who commissions the blade. The finest keris are made with lava from nearby volcanoes or even meteorite — rock that has arrived on Java from outside of our galaxy. The greater the significance of the source, the greater the spiritual life of the finished blade.
There are several Balinese and Javanese keris blade makers, but we have not seen any as dedicated and celebrated as PADEPOKAN KERIS BROJOBUWONO. Founded by Empu (master) Keris maker Basuki Tguh Yuwono, PADEPOKAN KERIS BROJOBUWONO is both a school, forgery and museum dedicated to the love and preservation of the sacred dagger.
The upcoming film "Sacred Dagger: Forging the Kris" is a short study of the sacred dagger of Central Java and a look into one of the most thriving workshops in Southeast Asia today.
Sponsorship information: if you wish to sponsor this film, we can provide a 501(c)3 deduction for the full amount of your contribution through the San Francisco Indonesian Film Festival.
General information: please contact us for general information regarding this film which will be available in April, 2020.
This project is principally funded by a generous grant from the Asian Art Museum, San Francisco, California, USA, a museum dedicated towards being a bridge of understanding between Asia and the United States and among the diverse cultures of Asia.
