The 2006 CAF Champions League Final was a football tie held over two legs in December 2006. Al-Ahly of Egypt beat CS Sfaxien of Tunisia 2-1.

Qualified teams
In the following table, finals until 1996 were in the African Cup of Champions Club era, since 1997 were in the CAF Champions League era.

Background
Al-Ahly were the defending champions after winning the compatriot of CS Sfaxien, Étoile du Sahel 3–0, reaching a total of five finals, winning four (1982, 1987, 2001, 2005) and losing one (1983) while CS Sfaxien reached the final for the first time ever.
Both teams met in the Group stage, with each victorious in their home matches - CS Sfaxien winning 1–0, while Al Ahly won 2–1. Both teams qualified for the semifinals on the second-last matchday. In the semifinals CS Sfaxien defeated Orlando Pirates 1–0 on aggregate, winning the second leg at home by that score, with the first leg ending in a scoreless draw. Al Ahly faced ASEC Mimosas from Ivory Coast and won the first leg 2–0 at home. In the second leg, Al Ahly lost 1–2 but reached the final.

Venues

Cairo International Stadium

Cairo International Stadium, formerly known as Nasser Stadium, is an Olympic-standard, multi-use stadium with an all-seated capacity of 75,000. The architect of the stadium is the German Werner March, who had built from 1934 to 1936 the Olympic Stadium in Berlin. Before becoming an all seater stadium, it had the ability to hold over 100,000 spectators, reaching a record of 120,000. It is the foremost Olympic-standard facility befitting the role of Cairo, Egypt as the center of events in the region. It is also the 69th largest stadium in the world. Located in Nasr City; a suburb north east of Cairo, it was completed in 1960, and was inaugurated by President Gamal Abd El Nasser on 23 July that year, the eighth anniversary of the Egyptian Revolution of 1952. Zamalek SC currently use the Petro Sport Stadium for most of their home games and Al Ahly use Al Salam Stadium for most of their home games.

7 November Stadium

7 November Stadium is a multi-purpose stadium in Radès, Tunis, Tunisia about 10 kilometers south-east of the city center of Tunis, in the center of the Olympic City. It is currently used mostly for football matches and it also has facilities for athletics.  The stadium holds 60,000 and was built in 2001 for the 2001 Mediterranean Games  and is considered to be one of the best stadiums in Africa. The stadium was built for the 2001 Mediterranean Games, the 60,000-seat covered area covers 13,000 m2 and consists of a central area, 3 adjoining grounds, 2 warm-up rooms, 2 paintings and an official stand of 7,000 seats. The press gallery is equipped with 300 desks.

Club Africain and ES Tunis play their major league matches here. Before the construction of this stadium, the Tunis derby used to be played in the 45,000 seat-capacity Stade El Menzah. It is also the stadium of Tunisia national football team since 2001.

This stadium has hosted matches of the 2004 African Cup of Nations which was won by the Tunisian team.

The management of CS Sfaxien confirmed that it was necessary to transfer the match from the Stade Taïeb Mhiri in Sfax, which was held by all the matches of the team in the African competition this season to the Radès Stadium, because the capacity of the Radès Stadium is 60,000 spectators, while the capacity of the Stade Taïeb Mhiri does not exceed 20,000, which is what confirms the organization of the match on the field of the stadium of Sfax was difficult.

Road to the final

Note: In all results below, the score of the finalist is given first.

Format
The final was decided over two legs, with aggregate goals used to determine the winner. If the sides were level on aggregate after the second leg, the away goals rule would have been applied, and if still level, the tie would have proceeded directly to a penalty shootout (no extra time is played).

CHERTL reinvents its Academic Orientation Programme under COVID-19 restrictions
This year's AOP was done remotely via the Zoom platform
In response to the COVID-19 context, the Centre for Higher Education, Research, Teaching and Learning (CHERTL), offered the annual Academic Orientation Programme (AOP) in a distance mode this year.
This entailed making presentations and teaching and learning resources available through RUconnected for academics to engage with. The interactive Zoom sessions in the afternoon provided a platform for new colleagues to interact with various role-players such as the Deanery, the Directors of Equity and Institutional Culture, Student Affairs, Centre for Postgraduate Studies, and the Community Engagement Division.
The purpose of AOP was to introduce 33 new Rhodes University to what it means to be an academic at the institution. During the first part of the AOP, which ran from 25 until 29 January, new academics were offered insights into the support available to them in relation to the core role of academics: teaching and learning, research, and community engagement.
From 01 until 03 February, Educational Technology Specialists, Dr Nicola Pallitt and Mr Neil Kramm's introduction to RUconnected training gave colleagues an opportunity to learn about and share their experiences relating to online teaching and blended (online and face-to-face) learning Given the uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic, getting better equipped for teaching remotely or in a blended format will help new colleagues in their teaching.
In his welcome presentation, the Vice-Chancellor, Dr Sizwe Mabizela encouraged new colleagues to use their talent, energy and commitment to build upon the Institution's rich legacy of achievement in the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL), research, and community engagement. Referencing the Institution's core values of social justice, advancing the public good, and respect for human rights and dignity, Dr Mabizela challenged colleagues to re-imagine their role, mission and purpose to transform students' lives, the local Makhanda community and wider society for the better. As demonstrated by these quotes, the new academics valued the collegial space and opportunity to meet and engage with people in leadership positions at the institution:
"I found it incredibly interesting. As a previous Rhodes University student, it was enlightening to see what goes on 'behind the scenes' so to speak, and it made me excited to now be involved in building that culture."
"There were tons of material to engage with and plenty opportunities to ask and learn from key people in the university space."
Engaging in the virtual space with the VC's 2019 Distinguished Award winners in teaching, research and community engagement gave new recruits insight into why these outstanding academics are lauded as exceptional, inspiring and innovative in the respective categories. The award winners shared their experiences about building networks, making use of collaborative projects and partnering with more established groups to incorporate their teaching, research and community engagement.
SRC President, Leboghang Nkambule's passionate engagement contextualised students' experiences during the ongoing COVID-19 context and provided insights into how academics could adapt their teaching and learning practices to ensure that all students participate equally in the learning space - whether face-to-face or online.
The theme of AOP, 'Being an academic at Rhodes University', also focused on aspects such as university governance, institutional culture and staff unions.
CHERTL's Head of Department, Prof Jo-Anne Vorster, encouraged new academics to develop the capacity and skills to teach a diverse student body, including students with disabilities. She also emphasised that black academics should use every opportunity to progress in the Institution so that the pool who can take up leadership positions is larger. She concluded AOP by wishing new colleagues all the best for a long, successful and happy career at Rhodes University.

Bowl Busters To Collide
College football's bowl-busters will meet for the first time Wednesday afternoon in the Poinsettia Bowl.
NIU and Boise State were the first two schools not from the Power Five Conferences that made it to major bowl games. NIU went to the Orange Bowl three years ago. Boise State first broke through with a Fiesta Bowl trip in 2007. The Broncos have been back to the Fiesta Bowl twice since then.
"Boise is the benchmark for the Group of Five teams," says NIU coach Rod Carey. "They have been to date, and what a great opponent to play a team like that. That in and of itself should excite you."
Boise State has the best winning percentage in the country since 2000 winning 85 percent of its games. The Broncos have had 18 consecutive winning seasons. That's the second longest streak in the nation.
They're appearing in their 14th straight bowl game.
The Huskies credentials aren't too shabby either. They've won 78 percent of their games since 2010..one of the best percentages in the nation. They're making their eighth straight trip to a bowl game.
This will be the first time these two schools have ever met in football.
Both teams have eight wins this season. Boise State finished second in the Mountain West Conference Mountain Division.
The Broncos have the 18th ranked offense in the nation led by freshman quarterback Brett Rypien. He's the nephew of former Redskins quarterback and Super Bowl XXVI MVP Mark Rypien.
"Everybody keeps saying yea he's going to be really good. From my eye he is really good. There's no waiting. He is good," says Carey.
Boise State running back Jeremy McNichols has rushed for more than 1200 yards and his 23 touchdowns ties him with Alabama's Heisman Trophy winner Derrick Henry for the most in the nation.
NIU counters with the MAC's rushing leader Joel Bouagnon.
Boise State receiver Thomas Sperbeck has more than 1300 receiving yards.
NIU receiver Kenny Golladay has more than 1100 receiving yards and 10 touchdown catches.
Boise State has a second team All-American defensive back in Darian Thompson. NIU has a first team All-American defensive back in Shuwan Lurry.
So maybe it is only the Poinsettia Bowl, and maybe it's not a matchup of glamor schools, but this should be a game well worth watching. It'll kickoff at 3:30 p.m. central time Wednesday on ESPN.
Le-Win's Arand, Winnebago's Murphy express frustration over paused IHSA seasons
Web Extra: Le-Win Coach Ric Arand full interview on IHSA sports still paused
My Take: Picking the NFL's Divisional Playoff Games
by Scott Leber / Jan 15, 2021
ROCKFORD, Ill. (WTVO/WQRF) -- These last ten months have been hard on all high school athletes and coaches. The hardest part has been dealing with the unknown. Two of our local coaches shared with me what it's been like for them and their athletes.
Normally in Mid-January Joe Murphy would be overseeing his Winnebago boys basketball team coaching the guys up…challenging for a Big Northern Conference Championship. But this winter nothing has been normal.
LENA, Ill. (WTVO/WQRF) -- Lena-Winslow head football coach Ric Arand shares his frustration over High School sports competitions in Illinois still remaining on pause while surrounding states continue to hold competitions.
High School sports in Illinois have been paused since November 20th due to concerns over COVID-19.

ROCKFORD, Ill. (WTVO/WQRF) -- As entertaining as the NFL playoffs were last weekend they should be even better this weekend. Last weekend I went 4-2 on my picks in the Wild Card Round. I missed on the Browns-Steelers game and on the Rams-Seahawks game. So here we go again…
Starting with that big one up North on Saturday the Rams against the Packers. The teams that have a chance to beat the Packers are teams that play physical, are great defensively and that can run the football. That describes the Rams.

Stallings, A.E.
Other titles from Northwestern University Press
Hapax: Poems
by A.E. Stallings
Cloth: 978-0-8101-5170-3 | Paper: 978-0-8101-5171-0
Library of Congress Classification PS3569.T3197H37 2006
Recipient of the 2008 Poet's Prize
Recipient of the 2008 Benjamin H. Danks Award
Hapax is ancient Greek for "once, once only, once and for all," and "onceness" pervades this second book of poems by American expatriate poet A. E. Stallings. Opening with the jolt of "Aftershocks," this book explores what does and does not survive its "gone moment"-childhood ("The Dollhouse"), ancient artifacts ("Implements from the Grave of the Poet"), a marriage's lost moments of happiness ("Lovejoy Street"). The poems also often compare the ancient world with the modern Greece where Stallings has lived for several years. Her musical lyrics cover a range of subjects from love and family to characters and themes derived from classical Greek sources ("Actaeon" and "Sisyphus").
Employing sonnets, couplets, blank verse, haiku, Sapphics, even a sequence of limericks, Stallings displays a seemingly effortless mastery of form. She makes these diverse forms seem new and relevant as modes for expressing intelligent thought as well as charged emotions and a sense of humor. The unique sensibility and linguistic freshness of her work has already marked her as an important, young poet coming into her own.
A. E. Stallings was born in 1968 and grew up in Decatur, GA. She studied classics at the University of Georgia and Oxford University. Her first poetry collection, Archaic Smile (University of Evansville Press, 1999) was awarded the 1999 Richard Wilbur Award. Her poetry has appeared in The Best American Poetry series (1994 & 2000) and has received numerous awards, including the 2004 Frederick Bock Prize from Poetry and the 2004 Nemerov Sonnet Award from the Formalist. She has recently completed a verse translation of Lucretius' De Rerum Natura for Penguin Classics. Stallings lives in Athens, Greece with her husband, John Psaropoulos, editor of the Athens News, and their son, Jason.
"[O]ne of the strongest talents to emerge in recent years." --Poetry
— -
"Stallings demonstrates formidable confidence in her technical skill, exploring fixed forms, tinking with traditions, and creating her own combinations of meter and rhyme. She also takes chances." --Harvard Review
"This is a startling first book of poems, charged with so much energy that it practically kicks the reader in the teeth. Readers who expect poetry to give them a refreshing jolt will by regaled . . . It is a pleasure to hail the arrival of A. E. Stallings." --X. J. Kennedy, The Classical Outlook

The ABM 2500 Tune-o-matic is a premium quality ABR-1 style bridge supplied with Nashville style bridge posts and bushings. The bridge is milled from a solid block of brass for superior quality and tone and the machined brass saddles are reversible to give extra intonation room on the bass strings to compensate for the narrower ABR-1 body width. The saddle intonation screws mount through the body so there is no need for a retainer wire to keep them in place during restringing and means no rattle or buzz from the wire. The saddles are unnotched to allow them to be slotted to the correct string spacing and gauge for your guitar (saddle spacing is standard 52 mm / 2.9" E-e). The bridge comes with a spare saddle, intonation screw and retainer clip for a long service life.

Iraq has cut cooperation with the United States on archaeological exploration because Washington has not returned Iraq's Jewish archives, Tourism and Archaeology Minister Liwaa Smaisim has said.
The fate of the archives, which were removed from Iraq following the 2003 US-led invasion, is a long-running point of contention between Washington and Baghdad, which has for years sought their return.
Smaisim, a member of powerful anti-US Shiite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr's movement, said in an interview with AFP that Iraq will use "all the means" to pursue the return of the archives.
"One of the means of pressure that I used against the American side is I stopped dealing with the American (archaeological) exploration missions because of the case of the Jewish archives and the antiquities that are in the United States," Smaisim said.
"The American side made many moves and pressure (for Iraq) to resume work with them but this is a final decision," he added.
The culture ministry says that millions of documents including the Jewish archives were transferred to the United States.
Seventy percent of the Jewish archives are Hebrew-language documents, with another 25 percent in Arabic and five percent in other languages, according to the ministry.
The archives, which were found in the flooded basement of the intelligence headquarters in Baghdad in 2003, include Torah scrolls, Jewish law and children's books, Arabic-language documents produced for Iraqi Jews and government reports about the Jewish community.
Iraq was home to a large Jewish community in ancient times, but its members left en masse after the creation of Israel and the first Arab-Israeli war in 1948.
"We talked with the American side about the Jewish archives. There are no clear and transparent answers," said Smaisim.
"They moved the archives in 2003; the agreement that was signed at that time between Iraq and the American side was to bring them back in 2005 after restoring them, but we are now in 2012," he said.
Smaisim, who was a dentist before becoming a minister in 2006, said the issue of the Jewish archives was "part of a bigger problem" with the United States, putting the number of Iraqi artefacts held there at 72,000.
"We asked the American side to inventory these artefacts and the Jewish archives... and to send them to the Iraqi side... but they did not respond," he said.
"All this led to stopping dealing with them since the beginning of the year," he said, adding that Iraq will "take all steps to get these antiquities and the Jewish archives back."
When asked for comment, US embassy spokesman Michael McClellen said the archives were in "the temporary custody of the US National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) for conservation, preservation, and digitisation."
"The US Department of State is funding the final phase of the project which includes a bilingual (English and Arabic) educational exhibit of the material in the US and in Iraq," he said, adding that "all the material will return to Iraq at the conclusion of the project."
On other Iraqi artefacts, McClellen said American universities and archaeologists had "engaged in a number of excavations across Iraq that were organised and conducted with the cooperation and support of Iraqi governments," and that the US works to return any illegally obtained Iraqi antiquities.
Smaisim also said that while pilgrims travelling to religious sites currently account for the vast majority of tourism in Iraq, there is a future for tourism to ancient sites as well.
"The backbone of tourism in Iraq now is religious tourism, which attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors annually, but there is also archaeological tourism, which represents a promising future for the country's tourism sector," Smaisim said.
But to boost tourism, "there is a need for infrastructure that includes hotels, roads and services, and we have started to work on that," he said.
"Iraq now realises that tourism is the most important sector after oil."


NEW DELHI — Police said they have mapped the area of a remote Indian island where tribespeople were seen burying the body of American adventurer and Christian missionary John Allen Chau after allegedly killing him with arrows this month.
But before they can even attempt to recover the body of 26-year-old Chau, authorities have to learn from experts "the nuances of the group's conduct and behavior, particularly in this kind of violent behavior," said Dependra Pathak, the director-general of police of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, where North Sentinel Island is located.
During their visit to the island's surroundings on Friday, investigators spotted four or five North Sentinel islanders moving in the area from a distance of about 500 meters (1,600 feet) from a boat and studied their behavior for several hours, said Pathak.
Friday's visit was the second boat expedition of the week by a team of police and officials from the forest department, tribal welfare department and coast guard, Pathak said.
The Indian government lifted restrictions on traveling to the island in August, Ho said. She said she couldn't comment on why Chau arrived there the way he did, but that he carefully planned it.


The glossy box of asset pricing asks for sound pricing types grounded at the idea of monetary economies a l. a. Ingersoll (1987) as weIl as for accu fee estimation concepts a los angeles Hamilton (1994b) by way of empirical inferences of the desired version. the belief at the back of this publication to be had is to supply the reader with a canonical framework that indicates the way to bridge the space among the continuous-time pricing perform in monetary engineering and the capital industry information necessarily in basic terms to be had at discrete time durations. 3 significant monetary markets are to be tested for which we decide on the fairness industry, the bond marketplace, and the electrical energy marketplace. In every one mar ket we derive new valuation types to cost chosen monetary tools in continuous-time. the choice criterium for selecting a continuous-time version ing framework is the richness of the stochastic concept on hand for non-stop time methods with Merton's pioneering contributions to monetary economics, accumulated in Merton (1992). The continuous-time framework, reviewed and as sessed via Sundaresan (2000), permits us to procure analytical pricing formulae that might be unavailable in a discrete time surroundings. even though, on the time of imposing the derived theoretical pricing types on marketplace facts, that's inevitably sampled at discrete time durations, we paintings with so-called distinct discrete time equivalents a los angeles Bergstrom (1984). We express how you can with ease paintings inside astate area framework which we derive in a basic surroundings as weIl as explicitly for every of the 3 applications.

In order to choose the optimal of various possible forecasts, we need to specify a criterion of what optimal means. 8 Choosing the estimator as to minimize the mean square error ~t results in the minimum mean square estimator as the best or optimal estimator with respect to any quadratic function of the estimation error.

Thus the uniqueness of the likelihood must be guaranteed for all possible parameter vectors, because the true parameter structure is not known. For an unidentified model exampIe in the case of maximum likelihood estimation using the Kalman filter see Hamilton (1994b, p. ). 2), we specify stochastic processes of explaining factors which describe the state of the system.

As you have probably heard, Colorado mortgage rates are simply the best they have been in years. Consumers who buy now can reap the benefits of the extremely low Colorado mortgage interest rates, saving thousands of dollars a year in interest payments. When the rates are lower, you may be able to pay off the loan faster, and thereby own your home outright more quickly than you might have thought was possible.
This is a very important concept to many people who do not want to continue paying for a mortgage once they reach retirement and they are on a fixed budget. With Colorado mortgage rates as low as they are, it may be possible to finance a loan for 15 years as opposed to 30 years with higher rates. You may have to pay a bit more per month now, but you will own your home in totality sooner rather than later.
More and more consumers are taking out Colorado mortgages to finance the purchase of new homes because the rates are too good to wait. The deal with Colorado mortgage rates is that they fluctuate daily, even hourly, so the rates you might find at this moment could be long gone by tomorrow at the same time. You know the saying--if you snooze you lose, and that holds true with mortgage rates.
If you are serious about buying a home, the best place to begin your journey is with a lender or broker. In fact, it is highly recommended that you get at least three different mortgage quotes before settling on any one offer. One lender may be able to beat the next lender in terms of rates and points, which could potentially save you some big bucks.

A strong brand helps our clients to present a clear message, raise credibility and build a loyal relationship with their target audience – generating additional value for companies, funds, assets or developments.
Strategy underpins all work at Innesco. We prefer to keep communications clear, simple and straightforward, but we understand that some complex projects and scenarios with competing workstreams and deadlines demand a more detailed, well-researched, multi-stranded programme of activity. Our Bigger Picture Approach ensures any Innesco strategy sits strongly in the context of its wider market and competitors – helping clients to reach their business objectives.
We offer brand development, the creative design and delivery of all marketing collateral (including digital), as well as advertising and media-buying – all with the added reassurance that all these creative-led activities must pass our own stringent tests to be relevant, meaningful, and contribute directly to our client's objectives and business plan.
Put simply, digital is the future of Marcomms today. As a progressive communications channel, we believe it is a marketing communications service in its own right. We are using digital advances to break down barriers of geography, to work outside the limitations of the printed word, to reach outside the confines of small markets, to speak to audiences in real time, and explode the myths of old-school property marketing. We push the gimmicks to one side, and apply the kind of thinking that will take clients into the next decade, not just the next season. Social media, online and search engine technology, digital film and other technological advances in digital media – the Innesco team will always consider its options on how best to respond to a client's brief.
Politics and the detail of critical property and retail-sector decisions go hand in hand. Property works within the detailed confines of legislation, and dependent on political support in order to succeed. Innesco has therefore focused on providing robust and comprehensive support to clients, briefing them thoroughly in the background to their everyday work, or delivering PA-specific support when it really matters. We understand the European, UK Central Government and UK Local Government structures and systems, and provide communications programmes that support business plans accordingly.
Within Innesco's PR expertise, we offer local, national and international media relations services through our valued 'press office' service. No other agency can offer you our level of specialised knowledge of the property and retail sectors, on both a UK and international arena. We leverage our client's messages through press releases, conferences, speaking opportunities, exhibitions, industry awards, and internal employee briefings.
The team delivers event services including awards ceremonies, retailer and press launches through to public exhibitions, experiential activity and international press tours. We are able to work as part of your in-house team and provide expert guidance or project manage the whole production for you. Our reliable and professional event production team is an invaluable addition to any successful event whatever its size. Inspiration, creativity, expertise and a smooth delivery of your event is what we promise.
bringing specialist sector knowledge to your team.

We are an interdisciplinary research centre within the University of Cambridge dedicated to the study and mitigation of existential risks
Existential risks in the 21st Century
Now is an important time for efforts to reduce existential risk. There are new and largely unstudied risks associated with powerful emerging technologies and the impacts of human activity, which in the worst case might pose existential risks. We want to reap the enormous benefits of technological progress while safely navigating these catastrophic pitfalls. These threaten everyone – we can only tackle them together.
Our primary aims
Reduce risk
We aim to reduce the risk of human extinction or civilizational collapse.
Study risks
We work to understand extreme risks associated with emerging technologies and human activity; and to develop a methodological toolkit to aid us in identifying and evaluating future extreme risks.
We develop prevention and mitigation strategies in collaboration with academics, industry and policymakers, so we can gain the benefits and avoid the risks of technologic progress.
We foster a reflective, interdisciplinary, global community of academics, technologists and policymakers examining individual aspects of existential risk and coming together to integrate their insights.
Working together with some of the most influential people of our times
Our expertise has been sought by European, Asian and American governments, leading technology companies and the United Nations. For example, workshops we co-organised on sustainability and climate change at the Vatican fed into the landmark Papal Encyclical on Climate Change.
Community growth
Through our discussions, collaborations, media appearances, reports, papers, books, workshops – and especially through our Cambridge Conference on Catastrophic Risk - we have fostered a global, interdisciplinary community of people working to reduce existential risk.
Convening experts
More than thirty workshops bringing together experts from academia, policy and industry to share cutting-edge knowledge and establish next steps together. Topics include the Biological Weapons Convention, Gene Drives, a Horizon Scan for Advances in Biological Engineering, and other pressing issues.
Establishing a field
Contributed to establishing the field of long-term AI safety. In 2015 we helped organise the Puerto Rico conference, which led to an open letter from thousands of research leaders backing research into safe and societally beneficial AI. In 2016 we launched the international, £10m, 10 year Leverhulme Centre for the Future of Intelligence, which is now on the Partnership on AI.
Part of a collaborative, global community
We work with leading academics, technologists and policy-makers from around the world.
At the beginning of the twenty-first century Professor Lord Martin Rees, the Astronomer Royal and one of Cambridge's most distinguished scientists, offered humanity an uncomfortable message. Our century is special, because for the first time in 45 million centuries, one species holds the future of the planet in its hands – us.
In 2012, together with Jaan Tallinn, the co-founder of Skype, and Huw Price, the Bertrand Russell Professor of Philosophy, they set out "to steer a small fraction of Cambridge's great intellectual resources, and of the reputation built on its past and present scientific pre-eminence, to the task of ensuring that our own species has a long-term future."
They were joined by an international advisory panel including academics like Stephen Hawking, and industry-leaders like Elon Musk. Since our first postdoctoral researchers started in September 2015, we have grown quickly to a full-time team of fourteen. Our research focuses on biological risks, environmental risks, risks from artificial intelligence, and how to manage extreme technological risk in general. We are located within the University of Cambridge.

Results for coronavirus
Japan extends emergency measures, further imperiling the Olympics
New York Times reporting: Japan on Friday extended a state of emergency in Tokyo and other regions until the end of May to contain a surge of coronavirus cases, casting further doubt on the country's ability to safely host the Summer Olympics, which are scheduled to begin in 11 weeks. Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga made the announcement at a meeting of the government's coronavirus task force, saying that the measures were necessary because infections remain at a "high level, mainly in large cities."
Virus variants likely evolved inside people with weak immune systems
New York Times reporting: The coronavirus must have infected someone with a weak immune system, allowing it to adapt and evolve for months into far more contagious variants, experts hypothesize. If true, the idea has implications for vaccination programs, particularly in countries that have not yet begun to immunize their populations, especially those with diabetes and other health conditions. People with compromised immune systems — such as cancer patients — should be among the first to be vaccinated, said a virus expert. The faster that group is protected, the lower the risk that their bodies turn into incubators for the world's next supercharged mutant.
One 18-hour flight, four coronavirus infections
New York Times reporting: Given the variables, infectious disease specialists have had a hard time determining the risks of flying. But a study published on Wednesday provides some clarity. After an 18-hour flight from Dubai landed in Auckland, New Zealand, in September, local health authorities discovered evidence of an outbreak that most likely occurred during the trip. Using seat maps and genetic analysis, the new study determined that one passenger initiated a chain of infection that spread to four others en route.
A quarter of a million people have died in the U.S. from COVID-19
New York Times reporting: The United States passed a grim milestone Wednesday, hitting 250,000 coronavirus-related deaths, with the number expected to keep climbing steeply as infections surge nationwide. Experts predict that the country could soon be reporting 2,000 deaths a day or more.
Cut off from the world again, Australia now finds silver linings
Monday 2 November 2020
New York Times reporting: They used to call it "the tyranny of distance." Australia's remoteness was something to escape... until the pandemic. The virus has turned this outgoing nation into a hermit. Australia's borders are closed, internationally and between several states. Its economy is smaller, and its population growth has fallen to its lowest rate in more than 100 years. Island living looks like a privilege when the world is pestilent. By Damien Cave.
Third CoViD-19 testing machine arrives in Tonga
Nuku'alofa, Tonga
The third CoViD-19 testing machine, GeneXpert, and testing cartridges have arrived in Tonga and were cleared last night and kept at the Ministry of Health laboratory said Dr Siale 'Akau'ola today, 8 May.

Baltimore, USA
It is likely that eventually, CoViD-19 will become endemic (commonly recurring in the community), and most of us will get infected, says Justin Lessler, an associate professor of Epidemiology at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in the United States, stressing that it is most important to slow the speed of transmission.
Tonga declares State of Emergency
Tonga has declared a month-long State of Emergency in Tonga aimed at CoViD-19 prevention stating that the disease "is imminent and will endanger or threaten.. the lives of people in Tonga.". Starting today at 8:00 pm: Foreign nationals are banned from entering Tonga; Tongan nationals must be quarantined for 14-days upon arrival; public gatherings are restricted; big events including funerals are banned; bars will be closed and other measures are being taken.

When I was young, I'd tune in 1430 on the AM dial to hear Blue Jays baseball with Tom Cheek and Jerry Howarth. I've written a ton about this pastime and you can read those entries here. Sometimes I'd fall asleep listening to games on the west coast and when I awoke to my transistor radio I'd hear "The Music of Your Life" on CJCL.
The Music of Your Life wasn't the music of my life but the music of the 50+ crowd who wanted to hear bland music from the 40s and 50s. 1430 CJCL would eventually go all sports and turn into The Fan, but in the 80s it was big band tunage for the old folks. Nothing is scarier than awakening at 3am to the music of Jimmy Van Heusen.
This ad promotes the CJCL morning show with Tom Fulton, Scott Ferguson and a few other names I don't recognize.
Wow, that's a really young-looking Scott Ferguson there.
Anyone happen to remember what the theme music he used for the Blue Jay report back in the FAN590 days was?
I remember Scott Ferguson's "Baseball Today" which was on after games until he left for The Team 1050.
I'd know the music when I heard it... I want to hear it!
Precisely why I asked. Blogosphere don't fail me now!

The Kick-Off
I was brought in by the Ogilvy UI design team to establish the launch architecture of a new Chemours website — built for the company's spin-off from DuPont in July, 2015 — and provide support to the UI and branding teams to develop the provided brand identity into a web experience.
I produced a taxonomy, site map and high-level wireframes for the corporate stratum of the website, which would ultimately act as a launching pad into the existing subset of TeamSite-powered pages of DuPont.com that were being migrated with branding-changes only. Once this portion was done, it was handed off to the UI design and branding teams for fuller design exploration. I worked closely with these teams in concepting and reviews, producing explicit Axure, Macaw and hand-coded HTML prototypes to establish and internally road-test the fluid responsive behaviors of the designs being explored. As work moved into final phases, I produced breakpoint/RWD specifications alongside the UI team's design specifications for Ogilvy's internal build team to work from.

"We are extremely pleased with the progress seen in this first half, as is reflected in these results. We laid out clear objectives when we listed on AIM including sales growth and product expansion. I am delighted that we are meeting and exceeding those goals so rapidly following flotation. We now intend to take our unique replication technology into the fast growing Big Data market, having had confirmation of our compelling solution for enterprises implementing Big Data systems. Our expedited investment timetable reflects our heightened confidence in the proximity of these significant opportunities. By doing this we aim to accelerate our growth trajectory both within our existing markets and in the new, high-growth areas such as Big Data."
"The Directors remain confident that the Company continues on track to achieve its commercial and bookings targets for the current year."

Panmure Gordon & Co.:
Fred Walsh / Giles Stewart (Corporate Finance)
On 1 June 2012, the Group reached an important milestone in its development with the admission of its shares to AIM. Today the Board is pleased to report the Group's results for the six months to 30 June 2012, which themselves very much reflect the manner in which the Company has been run since its formation in 2005.
Due to the absence of any external financing for the Group until its flotation on AIM this year, the focus has always rested upon delivering products that can generate cash in the relatively short term. In consequence, the results for the first half show positive underlying EBITDA of $0.35 million on the back of a 57 per cent rise in customer bookings. In addition, cash bookings have remained in line with the quarterly utilisation of cash by operations.
The IPO ensured that at the half year end the Company had $22.0 million of cash available to invest in its existing products for the software development industry and to develop new, complementary products over the medium term for adjacent industries, such as the Big Data market.
The Board has considered these opportunities, together with the likelihood of further growth in cash bookings for its existing products, and it is clear that by accelerating investment in a focused manner over the next eighteen months it should be possible to enhance the Group's growth prospects going forward. In consequence, the combined impact of an enhanced sales force together with accelerated investment in new product development provides a compelling rationale for initially investing up to $7 million over the next eighteen months out of the $26 million raised from AIM. As a result of this investment the Group will significantly expand its base of experienced employees, enabling a rapid execution of the Board's strategy.
Within the sales team, the focus will be to enhance the expertise across the department, with a particular focus on Enterprise Sales. Within product development we also intend to invest in high quality engineers, notably to realise our ambitions in the Big Data market. This would still leave the Group with substantial resources to take advantage of any future opportunities that may arise and is in line with the Board's strategy at the time of the IPO.
WANdisco's differentiated patent-pending technology provides a cost-effective solution to the problems faced by organisations with globally distributed software engineering teams. By using WANdisco's technology in conjunction with Apache Subversion ("Subversion"), an open source version control system, software developers at globally distributed sites are able to access the same data program at all times which helps improve productivity, and prevent downtime and data loss.
During the period, the business continued to attract blue chip customers with 21 new customer signings including McAfee; Nokia Siemens Networks; Pitney Bowes; Huntington Bank; and Ricoh helping to drive bookings over the period.
The performance was also helped by existing customers purchasing additional subscription licenses including Hewlett Packard, EMC, Syniverse, Prudential, Wells Fargo and Wal-Mart. The strong uptake from existing customers is reflected in the robust renewal rate of 114% with approximately 50 per cent of bookings driven by renewals, demonstrating the strength of the business model.
Delivering on its IPO commitment of bolstering the sales team to help drive growth, the Group appointed two highly experienced sales executives, Paul Hewitt and Scott Rudenstein. Formerly of IBM, both executives have joined the team to support the Group's rapid expansion, focusing particularly on opportunities for large enterprise software deployments and also driving for further growth within Europe.
The Group also achieved its maiden customer win in China, a key future growth market, signing a deal with Huawei who purchased Subversion MultiSite to solve network latency issues between China and Canada.
As outlined at the time of the IPO, WANdisco intends to continue expanding into the ALM market by developing its uberSVN product suite, which is designed to be deployed by customers in-house or as a cloud application.
During the period, the Group launched Subversion MultiSite 4.1, incorporating a significantly updated access control product, and WANdisco's new uberSVN product, also incorporating embedded, enterprise-class, access control.
The Company also launched a new online training subscription product and sold two significant deals to existing customers: John Deere and Syniverse.
In addition to product enhancements in the software development industry, the Group has made progress towards expanding its offering with complementary products for adjacent industries, such as the Big Data market. It has become very clear in recent weeks that the opportunity for our technology in the Big Data market is even greater than previously envisaged and thus it is anticipated that significant resources will be focused in the next few months towards delivering a commercially viable proto-type of the Big Data product. We have successfully completed our technical evaluation in conjunction with some of the leading experts in the Big Data field, with particular emphasis on applications in association with Apache Hadoop. It is clear that the Group's core technology can be leveraged within this exciting and high value market. With these opportunities in mind, subsequent to the period end, the Group has opened an office in Belfast, Northern Ireland to accelerate the delivery of enhanced and new products.
WANdisco completed the purchase of SmartSVN for $1.0m from German software company, Syntevo GmbH following the end of the period. The SmartSVN technology has been adopted by software developers across more than 2,500 companies, including many in the Fortune Global 500 index and it achieves more than 10,000 downloads a month.
A major key to SmartSVN's success has been its platform independence, with versions available for Windows, Linux, Unix and Mac OS X operating systems. SmartSVN will afford WANdisco a number of potentially significant opportunities, including offering a more complete solution that complements WANdisco's server-centric product with a client application. It is also expected to provide cross-selling potential for our existing enterprise products, allowing WANdisco to implement an e-commerce sales model with a proven product and install base and providing a low cost end-user product that can be leveraged to drive sales in the SME market, an area of focus for the Group.
The Group has delivered a strong first half financial performance driven by substantial growth in subscriptions.
Cash bookings for the half year were $3.4 million representing a 57 per cent increase over the same number in the prior year of $2.1 million. During this period of rapid growth, the revenue numbers are more a reflection of historic performance rather than future results, but even so, revenues rose from $1.9 million to $2.9 million thus reflecting the growth that was achieved in earlier periods. The focus in the half year has been upon increasing deferred revenue and a number of multi-year deals have also been signed resulting in a balance on the deferred revenue account of $4.94 million, which compares with $3.98 million on the same date in the previous year.
Renewal rates have continued to be in excess of 100 per cent, with additional licenses being sold to customers for further seats and nodes at each renewal date. This again gives confidence in the continued underlying growth of the business going forward.
In terms of underlying EBITDA, this was positive at $0.35 million being a significant increase over the neutral EBITDA position achieved in the prior period, the Group having become EBITDA positive for the first time in Q2 of 2011.
Cash balances at the half year were $22.0 million reflecting the funds raised as part of the IPO and, as mentioned elsewhere, the Board is actively pursuing the investment of a small proportion of these funds in order to accelerate the future growth of the business.
Current Trading and Outlook
During the first half, the Board has laid solid foundations to support long term, sustainable growth. We have invested in our sales team, begun to roll out new products and retained our focus on driving the subscription model on which our business runs. We are pleased with early progress and will continue to focus on these areas in the months ahead.
Historically, the second half of WANdisco's financial year is its strongest, due to the higher levels of renewals that typically arise. As a consequence, the Directors remain confident that the Company continues on track to achieve its commercial and bookings targets for the current year.


Institutionalization was avoided for elderly woman.
An overweight, frail, elderly resident was unable to walk and was without attendant care at various times during the day. She had fallen frequently while attempting to transfer from her wheelchair to her bed and back again. Local fire department and emergency rescuers were being called upon to intervene several times a month to help the woman. It appeared that she would be forced to move into a skilled nursing facility, which she did not want to do.
During an assessment, we discovered that her once-reliable conventional transfer board was inadequate. We paid for a skilled safety evaluation at her residence (a frequent benefit of our AT program), resulting in the recommendation and provision of an extra-wide, extra-reinforced transfer board. This woman is now able to transfer without falling, and is grateful for this simple, low-tech form of assistive technology. Most importantly, she has kept her independence at home in the community.

The relationship between the Forgey Family and sheep industry began with Dwayne Forgey's father, Hank Forgey. Hank started the business back in the fifties, and after a period of time working for Bob Evans in Dayton, Ohio, Hank moved back to Rio Grande to manage the Evans Farm.
In 1969, Hank decided to start work at his own farm. Dwayne explains, "I had a 4-H sheep and started building my own herd alongside my dad, and now we are partners in the sheep business."
Continuing, Dwayne shares, "We've had numerous champion carass lambs at state fairs. We've had carass lamb champions at the North Carolina State Fair and the West Virginia State Fair along with many county champions. Our show lambs and breeding sheep have been widely received by breeders and exhibitors throughout Ohio, West Virginia, Virginia, Kentucky, Indiana, and Michigan. Our show record consists of many winners in county, regional and state fair shows.
Forgey Club Lambs really got serious in the 1970's with the purchase of a Forest Nelson Ram from Meeker County out of the infamous "Big Boy" line, a first certified meat sire. In the early 90's, we purchased a Hill Country "4" son and a group of twenty McIlrath Yearling Ewes from Steve Lee of Kentucky. Although we had experienced considerable show ring success in the past, it was this acquisition that put us at the top consistently.
Our breeding stock predominantly traces back to Bruce Achor, and we have used three "212" sons the last six years. The mettle on which we have constantly based our breeding program is two mainstays of any serious sheep producer: cutability of carcass and production.
Dwayne found himself at a point where he needed to go "all in" or "get out." He chose to move forward, but with his day job as a teacher, he would need to become more efficient. He needed a barn that could more efficiently manage an increased number of sheep. He decided to apply for the Southern Ohio Agricultural & Community Development Foundation (SOACDF) diversification grant. He began working with Brad Bapst, the Small Business Development Director, at Ohio State University (OSU) South Centers to create a business plan and complete the application. Dwayne said, "I had experience working with OSU South Centers previous to this application as I had applied for and received a couple of diversification grants prior to this one. I received excellent help with the business plan and application for the SOACDF grant from Brad Bapst. He had great input that made all the difference."
Dwayne submitted the application and received the grant for $35,000 (half of the project cost) for a 48 x 80 barn. Dwayne said, "It was an absolute God send. We are not only raising breeding stock and club show lambs; but we are now also processing lamb meat and selling it. We have a permanent handling area so I don't have to set up and tear down all the time, which has saved us time and labor costs. We are also planning to expand the meat processing part of the business to a year-round operation. Other future business development includes our daughter. She is graduating from OSU as an Animal Science major with a focus on quality control, and will be coming back to the farm."

Exmouth RNLI called to paddleboarders in distress
Exmouth RNLI volunteer crew members launched today following a report of two paddleboarders needing help in the sea off the Exmouth coastline.
RNLI/John Thorogood
Exmouth RNLI Lifesavers spped to the rescue
At 10.26am today Sunday 28 February 2021 the Exmouth RNLI Inshore Lifeboat D-805 George Bearman II was tasked by H.M. Coastguard to a report of two paddleboarders who had become distressed some distance from the shore and found themselves unable to return.
The lifeboat, crewed by Helm, Guy Munnings, and RNLI volunteer crew Mark Cockman and James Edge launched at 10:39am and was able to quickly locate the casualties.
Both were assessed and, together with their equipment, taken on board the inshore lifeboat. They were taken to the safety of Exmouth Lifeboat Station arriving at 10:51am. Both were wet and cold but otherwise uninjured. Neither required further medical treatment.
The lifeboat was refuelled and back ready for service shortly afterwards.
Helm, Guy Munnings said, "The two casualties were properly equipped for paddleboarding but had got caught in the spring tide that had swept them out nearly a mile from shore. They had attempted to phone the lifeboat station for help but I must reiterate that the station is not always manned and that anyone in difficulty in the sea should always call 999 for the Coastguard. There are unusually strong sea conditions at present and I would urge anyone going on the water to always check the locality, weather and tides before venturing out. Myself and my crew were pleased to be able to reach the casualties very quickly and get them to safety."

I have tried all sorts of searches on google even images but just want the list that is pertinent to Windows 10 xaml properties not every color on the windows platform.
Sorry if its a dumb question and will delete it if moderatars as me to but I have just about finished updated windows 8 apps to the one windows 10 app but need to be able to get the right color scheme going that works in with the same apps on the other stores.
OR is there a tool that gives that help.  I will keep looking and did try and look at the ThemeResource idea but am finding it hard to find that information too.   AND yes I have been looking for some time.
Come to think of it, I just need to be able to see the colors of just the windows 10 xaml properties in a table.  Really simple request I know but I am at a loss as to where to find it.  Thanks in advance.

A: I had a brain freeze and for some reason did not try the follow that works just fine.  Hope this answer helps someone.

Q: Replace string that contains dynamically numbers i have a variable that contains the string: attribute_value[XXX][] where XXX every time that page loads is a 3-digit number that changes every time.
How can i use .replace function in javascript to replace attribute_value[XXX][] with something specific regardless the XXX value?
Thank you in advance

A: You can use regular expression for that
str.replace(/attribute_value\d+/, 'aa');

here '\d' indicates digits and '+' indicates one or more occurances
str.replace(/attribute_value\d{3}/, 'aa');

Use this if you want to replace only first 3 digits

Q: How to use Ruby's asset_url in JS (Ruby interpolation in JS??) Ok so I have a JS function that changes the image source, but I need to fingerprint that image source per Ruby's asset pipeline. In other words, I need to marry this code:
// JS code
changeImage("assets/How-to/" + step_to_remove + ".gif");

With the fingerprinting that's normally done by
# Ruby code
asset_path "How-to/#{step_to_remove}.gif"

The stopgap solution I have now is just to manually remove the fingerprints, but I know there's a better way than that.

A: You can use a .js.erb to evaluate your scripts first as ERB:
// app/assets/javascripts/my_script.js.erb
changeImage("<%= asset_path(step_to_remove) %>");

Q: Bookshelf / knex sorting with descending order then limiting results I'm looking to reverse and limit results. Reversing works fine, limiting works fine, but chained together, the results aren't how I expect. If limit is set to 10 I get 0 results. If it's set to 200 I get 6 results. Any idea what's causing this?
Users
      .query(q => {
          q.orderBy('id', 'DESC').limit(10)
      })
      .fetch({withRelated: ['groups']})
      .then(function(users) {
          util.filterUsers(users.map(function(user) {
              var groups = user.related('groups');
              return {
                  id: user.id,
                  handle: user.get('handle'),
                  githubid: user.get('githubid'),
                  name: user.get('name'),
                  public: user.get('public'),
                  url: user.get('url_hash'),
                  image: user.get('image'),
                  email: user.get('email'),
                  groups: groups.reduce(function(prev, group) {
                      prev[group.id] = group.get('group_name');
                      return prev;
                  }, {}),
              };
          }), req.user.id)
      .then((results) => {
          res.status(200).send(results);
      });

A: Each then() is expected to return a promise itself. If a common value is returned Bluebird (Bookshelf's choice for Promises) turns it into a promise itself.
In your case the then(function(users) {...}) is not returning anything, so it should be replaced by tap(function(users) {...}). See tap on Bluebird documentation.
But IF util.filterUsers(...); transforms the list somehow and it is a promise itself, you MUST return it, so placing its invocation under a return statement: return util.filterUsers(...);. In this case it is possible that it returns fewer users than the amount requested (that's what filters usually do...).

A: You need to add a return statement before your function util.filterUsers. Try this
Users
      .query(q => {
          q.orderBy('id', 'DESC').limit(10);
      })
      .fetch({withRelated: ['groups']})
      .then(function(users) {
          return util.filterUsers(users.map(function(user) {
              var groups = user.related('groups');
              return {
                  id: user.id,
                  handle: user.get('handle'),
                  githubid: user.get('githubid'),
                  name: user.get('name'),
                  public: user.get('public'),
                  url: user.get('url_hash'),
                  image: user.get('image'),
                  email: user.get('email'),
                  groups: groups.reduce(function(prev, group) {
                      prev[group.id] = group.get('group_name');
                      return prev;
                  }, {})
              };
          }), req.user.id);
      })
      .then((results) => {
          res.status(200).send(results);
      });
