The Management Information System is a department that is vital in every organization. It provides information that organizations need in order to run efficiently and smoothly. A bank acts as the center where financial services that range from retail banking to personal banking are offered. For this reason, a tool for organization, planning, managing and coordinating the users in such a large organization is necessary. MIS acts as this tool. It refers to a computer-based system that enhances the running of banks by providing the managers of the various departments with the ability to evaluate the performance of their departments. For efficiency, the MIS manages the primary components of an organization which include: Hardware, Software, Data, People and Procedures.
v Saves cost and time and also enhances productivity gains by providing an opportunity for the use of data warehousing for information processing.
v Decision making becomes easy and efficient since there is confidence that the data is accurate and relevant.
v Ensures that data are categorized into meaningful and profitable operations.
Customers choose a bank based on the ease of doing business, the quality of personnel and service and the range of the financial services. MIS plays a key role in banking by providing the following functions.
Capturing transactions at every branch and consolidating the information at the central bank. This is an effective way of utilizing data warehousing and is carried out by MIS.
Provision of electronic clearing services. This reduces the use of paper, cutting the cost of the bank to a large extent. It enhances payments to be done electronically.
Organizing computing resources, which reduces manual work in a bank. It provides access to every individual connected to the terminal of the main system of the bank.
MIS ensures the decentralization of services based on regions. This is effective for banks with a large number of branches.
Providing data mining techniques such as clustering, association, sequencing, classification and provision of decision trees for accessing data available at various computer systems.
Provision of reports such as structural liquidity statements, interest rates statement and balance sheets of profit and loss accounts. These statements are generated at any specified time since the response is instantaneous.
Provides regulatory requirements for off-site monitoring surveillance. This is essential as the reports are generated on a regular basis regarding the filing system of the concerned bank.
Asset liability management, which stipulates the aims of the bank and the direction in which the bank is to go to ensure the attainment of its goals. MIS ensures the assets of the bank are managed effectively and efficiently to reduce risks that may be incurred once the plan is set into motion.
Ensuring that the strategies and purpose of the organization are formulated and that appropriate sets of data and market intelligence reports are reported.
Programming skills, networking and database administration skills.
There are several entry level jobs in the field of information management. A fresh graduate may start either as a programmer, database manager, applications developer, computer analyst or even as a software developer.
Database design and planning-understand the types of databases such as relational and network databases.
Data analysis- possess the ability to determine data patterns to draw a conclusion.
Effective use of database software.
MIS software is diverse in a bank ranging from the front office, customer relations, finance and human resource departments. Some of the commonly used software include: Oracle databases and financial services software, SAP, finacle, ICS BANKS and iMal, to mention just a few.

β-Amyloid Antibody
β-Amyloid Antibody #2454
Western blot analysis of human A-beta-40 and A-beta-42 peptides (1-5 ng), using beta-Amyloid Antibody.
β-Amyloid Antibody 2454
2454S 100 µl
MW (kDa) 5
SOURCE Rabbit
Supplied in 10 mM sodium HEPES (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, 100 µg/ml BSA and 50% glycerol. Store at –20°C. Do not aliquot the antibody.
beta-Amyloid Antibody detects several isoforms of beta-amyloid peptide (Abeta), such as Abeta-40, Abeta-42 etc, regardless of phosphorylation state.
Species predicted to react based on 100% sequence homology:
The antigen sequence used to produce this antibody shares 100% sequence homology with the species listed here, but reactivity has not been tested or confirmed to work by CST. Use of this product with these species is not covered under our Antibody Performance Guarantee.
Rat, Bovine, Dog, Pig, Guinea Pig
Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues at the amino terminus of human beta-amyloid peptides. Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.
Amyloid β (Aβ) precursor protein (APP) is a 100-140 kDa transmembrane glycoprotein that exists as several isoforms (1). The amino acid sequence of APP contains the amyloid domain, which can be released by a two-step proteolytic cleavage (1). The extracellular deposition and accumulation of the released Aβ fragments form the main components of amyloid plaques in Alzheimer's disease (1). APP can be phosphorylated at several sites, which may affect the proteolytic processing and secretion of this protein (2-5). Phosphorylation at Thr668 (a position corresponding to the APP695 isoform) by cyclin-dependent kinase is cell-cycle dependent and peaks during G2/M phase (4). APP phosphorylated at Thr668 exists in adult rat brain and correlates with cultured neuronal differentiation (5,6).

Oil prices climbed with the high price, from US Energy Information Agency Benchmark Brent prices hitting a three-month high of $38 per barrel on hopes for a coordinated approach by primary producers to support prices, suggested an increased demand for gasoline.
The contract had climbed by 5.5 percent in intraday trading, and it has now gained more than 50 percent since this year low on Jan. 20.
Signs of falling production and the possibility of a deal to freeze or cut output by OPEC have helped to propel oil up 45% from its $26 per barrel low in February.
News of a meeting of Latin American crude producers set in Quito boosted oil prices on Monday, and bullish sentiment swept over into yesterday's session.
Saudi Arabia, working with Venezuela and Qatar and non-OPEC producer Russia on a plan to freeze oil output at January highs, pledged to "remain in contact with all primary producers in the attempt to limit volatility" in crude prices.
Brent crude's front-month contract April LCOJ 6 settled up 87 cents, or 2.5 percent, at $35.97 a barrel before expiring and going off the board. May Brent LOCK 6 paid up $1.13, or 3.2 percent, at $36.57 a barrel.

Star Wars Fanatics
How to deal with Star Wars fanatics...
When someone starts going on about the life-changing role the Star Wars movies have played in their developmental years, casually announce that you've never seen any of them, but hear they are "pretty good".
Get important terminology wrong. (Drives the true fanatic nuts!) Confuse Wookies with "Winkies", call Yoda "Yodel", refer to Return of the Jedi as "Revenge of the Jedi", Phantom Menace as "Planet Menace". Get very annoyed when corrected.
Get the names of the key characters wrong, or better still forget them. "You remember the guy from these movies, you know, the one with the plastic head and the respiratory problem!" or "Oh, yeah, Ben-Wa Kenubi, my favorite, played by that English bloke. Wassisname. Sounds like a beer or something."
Insist that The Empire Strikes Back is the only worthwhile Star Wars movie because it is "sooo dark."
Deliberately confuse science fiction universes and inhabitants. Double fun and satisfaction as this offends two sets of rabid Nerdocracies at the same time. For example, insist that Luke Gripewater is fighting for "The Federation" and that Chewbaccy is a Vulcan. Insist that "To boldly go where no man has gone before" is a Jedi commandment. Brush off any attempt at correct with a dismissive " Whatever. As if anybody really fucking cares."
Make vaguely unsettling insinuations about George Lucas. Try " Isn't he involved in some sort of DNA-cloning controversy?", or "I hear he only talks to his mother via a TV monitor", or "I read this piece where he (GL) said that Star Wars was written for people who hate sex"
Insist that there is a "latent homo-erotic subtext" to the Han Solo/Luke Skystalker relationship and that you are made uncomfortable by Lucas' "non-critical, neo-Nazi aesthetic". When asked what the fuck you are on about, roll your eyes and refer to the "blatant homage to Riefenstahl's Triumph of the Will" at the end of the first movie, then add "Don't tell me you didn't notice?"
When some sad fuck describes the insane lengths they went to to see The Phantom Menace - camping out on the street, taking time off work, neglecting loved ones, not bathing and so on, respond by saying that someone "in the business" gave you a couple of free tickets to the official opening, but you lost them and add "Funny, that's the first time I thought about it."
When they just won't shut up about how its the most spectacular movie event of all time and how you would have to be a moron not to dedicate every waking moment to it, simply say, "Yeah, my little sister and her little friends get a kick out of it all, you know how it is with these pop space movies."
Sit there and listen while they are talking about how its so true to the original and wont shut up about how painstakingly the director attempted to create the depth and interest of the first three. Then, simply say, "Jar Jar Brinks sucks a donkeys cock and the whole movie was made to market cheap Taiwanese toys at Burger King with his face plastered all over it."
When the guy starts talking about when he was sitting in the theatre borderline about to have a stroke watching Phantom Menace, casually say, "Yeah, I thought the ending was good, when my friends woke me up just towards the last quarter."
The ultimate is to play stupid that the movie was even a big event. "Phantom Menace? Yeah, I heard something about that in the local newspaper. Something about the guy that made the first three is going at it again or something??? Dunno..."
When someone is sitting there theorizing about how there's probably secret messages and things you can see if you look closely in the movie, just calmly sit there and say in a whisper "Then I guess you haven't played it backwards in a VCR before?". Try not to laugh as the person (attempting to look calm and collected) slowly gets up, starts walking out of sight, then see them bolt down the street towards their house to try it. Depending on how avid of a fan the person is, look for the smoke trail.
To make the last suggestion even more fun, wait for them to call back after they have gone through the whole movie backwards and couldn't find anything in phantom menace. Tell them, "Ohhh, that's right, it was in one of the other three episodes."
When they tell you the lengths they went through and the sleepless nights spent trying to get a pirated copy before everyone got to see it in the theatre, tell them "That's funny, I simply called the 1-800 number that was all over the Internet and got it mailed to me the same day, 3 weeks before the movie came out."

The image of Singapore's national mascot, the Merlion, is embossed on a 5g 999 silver medallion.
The Singapore's 50th Birthday silver medallion design portrays Singapore's national mascot, the Merlion, Singapore's map, the crescent moon and five stars which are iconic of Singapore's flag, and five fighter planes flying over the Singapore map.
PureGold.sg will release not more than 2000 pieces of the Singapore's 50th Birthday 5g 999 silver medallion.


Another device that uses the new hyperspatial, virtual state, nested modulation technology (and has done so for seventeen or eighteen years) is Dr. Pat Flanagan's neurophone. With brilliant insight and intuition far beyond that of science at the time, Pat invented and patented the instrument by the time he was seventeen years old. The neurophone is a device that, contrary to all present theory and knowledge, will directly "pump the brain" and reproduce sound and information directly in the brain and mind system, without going through the auditory system at all.

Mariel Levey (left) and Amanda Shor (right) sniff scents as they attend candle-making party with friends, at the new Philadelphia experience: Wax and wine, where one drinks wine and makes candles.
Wax & Wine — Center City's new spot where visitors make candles as they sip vino — started to tease my nose the moment I walked through its weighted, velvet curtain.
A pungent yet pleasant combo of all things citrus, floral, and musky enveloped me. And then — pow — I wandered into the vast smell-a-palooza that is Wax & Wine's scent cellar.
"Here lives the 75 scents we use to make custom candles," said Jordan Beletz, the 24-year-old mastermind behind Wax & Wine. Once I descended, I couldn't stop sniffing. I took a whiff of teakwood, a dead ringer for the 1990s cologne Fahrenheit. Then I unscrewed the top of something rosy. Next, on to fudge.
Excuse me, was that a Tootsie Roll?
"I love DIY trends," said Beletz. "I love entertaining with a twist. I thought if I came up with a DIY project in a nice atmosphere with a product that people could actually use, I thought I might have something."
Wax & Wine ticks a lot of lifestyle trend boxes. It's totally rustic chic; taps into mindfulness goals through the burning of candles, essential oils, sage and incense; and it's eco-friendly (the candles are made from coconut wax, and Beletz wants to recycle the wine bottles into candle holders).
And it's part of larger trend of doing, rather than consuming.
"Not only do people want experiences, they want to be made better by the experiences, whether it's through charitable giving, learning a new skill, or picking up cultural capital," said Allyson Rees, senior editor for retail lifestyle at WGSN Lifestyle & Interiors, the Los Angeles arm of the global trend forecasting company WGSN. "This Wax & Wine concept also provides 'taste makers' an education, something they can take with them to the next dinner party."
Finally, candle-making is an extension of the DIY trend in retail that taps into the most powerful sense we have: Smell.
Jamie Moskovitz smells one of the 75 available scents.
The hospitality and restaurant industry has been futzing around with our olfactory memories in the name of experience-making for a few years now. Hotels like Loews Philadelphia pump a mystery scent through their vents that's so recognizable I know I'm in Loews the moment the glass doors open. And some upscale restaurants, like Center City's Ocean Prime and Wayne's Autograph Brasserie, have paired with candle companies like Seventh Avenue Apothecary and Diptyque for dinner/cocktails/dessert and scent pairings. You smell the candle, and then you get to dine on something inspired by that scent.
This spring, Invent Your Scent, the perfumed version of painting and sipping parties, will roll out in local bars and restaurants, including the Moshulu. Rather than painting or making a candle, you'll create your own perfume.
"The world right now is chaotic in many, many ways … scent-making is self-soothing, it's comforting," said Robin Darrow, who co-owns Invent Your Scent with husband Chuck Darrow, a former writer for the Philadelphia Daily News. "Right now, people would rather spend their money and their energy on making something rather than going out and buying a sweater."
Beletz is betting on that.
This time last year, Beletz was a salesman for Milwaukee Power Tools in Los Angeles. During the summer, he visited a flea market and happened upon a booth where people could make scented candles, shop the rest of the market, and return to pick up their creations. An idea was born.
Jordan Beletz helps a party of candle-makers pick out their scents at Wax & Wine.
Beletz began researching places with similar ideas. He visited candle-making spots, too, and was often the only guy in the room. Within a few weeks, he wrote a business plan and when he had all of his wicks in a row, he presented the idea to his dad, Alan.
The senior Beletz, once a co-owner of the Northeast glass manufacturing company Beletz Bros. Glass, wasn't sure how bright the candle-making business could burn. "He convinced me that this was a platform for so many different things: like candles and calligraphy, candles and yoga," Alan Beletz, 54, said about his son's ideas. "This is just the beginning. Who knows, maybe we'd bring in an aromatherapist?"
The whole endeavor entailed an investment of about $200,000.
Since opening in early March, Wax & Wine has hosted two bridal showers and a few birthday and just-because gatherings. You can walk in and make a candle, or you can rent out the back room for a party. It costs $30 to make one eight-ounce candle ($45 for two and $50 for three), about the same it costs to buy a 14-ounce Yankee Candle.
On a recent evening, 12 women in their late 20s and early 30s arrived at Wax & Wine, wearing long coats, long hair, and with wine in hand.
Beletz opens bottles one by one and the women settle around a long table set with all the tools needed to tap into their inner chandler: a tiny whisk, a silver jigger — not for measuring whiskey, but fragrance ratios — a Popsicle stick with a tiny hole in it designed to keep the wicks straight. A satchel of coffee beans is nearby to clear the nasal palate between sniffs.
Candles in the making at Wax & Wine.
After about a half hour of sipping, sniffing, giggling, and more sipping, the scent combos emerge: spearmint and white wine, oatmeal and white linen, hot fudge and vanilla.
"Making a candle and having a great time with your friends is different," said 28-year-old Rachel Gendelman, who organized the evening with friends. Gendelman's candle was a combo of two scents: fruit slices and champagne she named Anthro.
"It smells like something I once bought from Anthropologie," Gendelman said. "We had a great time. I'd definitely go back."
Wax & Wine is at 1034 Pine St.; 215-309-3424, waxandwine.com.

Socioeconomic health inequalities in adolescence are not consistently reported. This may be due to the measurement of self-reported general health, which probably fails to fully capture the psychological dimension of health, and the reliance on traditional socio-economic indicators, such as parental education or occupational status. The present study aimed at investigating this issue using simple questions to assess both the physical and psychological dimension of health and a broader set of socioeconomic indicators than previously used.
This was a cross-sectional survey of 5614 adolescents aged 16-18 years-old from 25 senior high schools in Greece. Self-reported general and psychological health were both measured by means of a simple Likert-type question. We assessed the following socio-economic variables: parents' education, parents' employment status, a subjective assessment of the financial difficulties experienced by the family and adolescents' own academic performance as a measure of the personal social position in the school setting.
One out of ten (10%) and one out of three (32%) adolescents did not enjoy good general and psychological health respectively. For both health variables robust associations were found in adolescents who reported more financial difficulties in the family and had worse academic performance. The latter was associated with psychological health in a more linear way. Father's unemployment showed a non-significant trend for an association with worse psychological health in girls only.
Socioeconomic inequalities exist in this period of life but are more easily demonstrated with more subjective socioeconomic indicators, especially for the psychological dimension of health.


A blue laser is a laser ( pronounced LAY-zer ) with a shorter wavelength than the red laser used in today's compact disc and laser printer technologies and the ability to store and read two to four times the amount of data. When available in the marketplace, personal computer users may be able to buy a laser printer with a resolution up to 2400 pixels or dots per inch at an affordable price. The same technology in CD and DVD players will provide a dramatic breakthrough in storage capability without an increase in device size.
A laser (an acronym for "light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation") is a coherent (meaning all one wavelength, unlike ordinary light which showers on us in many wavelengths) and focused beam of photons or particles of light. The photon s are produced as the result of a chemical reaction between special materials and then focused into a concentrated beam in a tube containing reflective mirrors. In the blue laser technology, the special material is gallium nitride . Even a small shortening of wavelength of light can have a dramatic effect in the ability to store and access data. A shorter wavelength allows a single item of data (0 or 1) to be stored in a smaller space.
Red lasers used in today's technologies have wavelengths of over 630 nanometer s (or 630 billionths of a meter). The blue laser has a wavelength of 505 nanometers.
Shuji Nakamura, a Japanese researcher working in a small chemical company, Nichia Chemical Industries, built the first blue laser diode. However, a number of companies have announced progress in the ability to manufacture blue laser diodes and there are now prototypes of working DVD writers and players. Recently, a standard called Blu-ray has been developed for the manufacture of blue laser optical disc technology.


1. On July 1, 2018, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Committee") granted 2018 performance share awards under the Issuer's E-LTIP program. Because of the then-pending Fujifilm transaction and other factors, the Committee determined to establish performance goals for 2018 for one-third of the awarded target shares but to defer establishing vesting conditions for the balance of the awards until a later date. The Committee has determined that, effective January 14, 2019, the balance of the awards will be subject to service-based vesting conditions and will pay out at target. The serviced-based portion of the awards are being reported on this Form 4. These awards will vest in full on July 1, 2021.

6 tear-jerking movies to watch when you're in need of a good cry
by Alison Egan
People often tell you to 'cheer up' and 'put a smile on your face' when you're feeling low, but sometimes a good cry is all you need. Get the sadness out of your system and blubber to your heart's content if you need to. There's nothing shameful about crying, plus scientists say it is actually good for you.
We've gathered up a list of movies to watch when you're feeling like having a good cry so why not pop one on this evening? Just be sure to have a box of Kleenex at the ready.
Five Feet Apart
Hayley Lu Richardson and Cole Sprouse star in this coming-of-age tale about two teens living with cystic fibrosis. It's a raw, heartwarming and educational tale about the reality of this harrowing illness and the impact it has on the lives of people with CF.
Sure, About Time is a sweet little romantic-comedy starring the beautiful Rachel McAdams and the charming Domhnall Gleeson but there is one particular scene in this movie that will leave you crying like a baby.
An intimate story that follows a couple as they face a harrowing and exhausting divorce. Starring Adam Driver and Scarlett Johansson, this movie is a true heartbreaker.
Based on the John Green novel of the same name, this coming-of-age tale is an emotional watch from start to finish. It follows the story of two teenage cancer patients (Shailene Woodley and Ansel Elgort) as they travel to Amsterdam to meet a reclusive writer.
Lion is one of the most beautiful movies ever made. Starring Nicole Kidman and Dev Petel, the award-winning movie follows an Indian man, who was separated from his mother as a child, as he returns to his native country to find his birth family.
Miss You Already
Best friends since school, Milly and Jess struggle to keep their relationship as strong as ever when Milly is diagnosed with breast cancer.

You need to stop watching The Notebook, according to experts
So, love it or hate it, there's no denying that The Notebook has earned its reputation as one of the most romantic movies of all time.
And even though it has become one of the ultimate romantic film clichés, we're not sure we'll ever get bored of the young couple's rollercoaster love story.
But, while Noah and Allie might seem like the ultimate couple goals, relationship experts aren't buying it.
According to Stylist, a group of romantic experts recently sat down with Time Out to discuss some of the best and worst romantic films of all time.
The list was surprising to say the least, but perhaps The Notebook was the most puzzling choice of all.
We know what you're thinking. How could a romantic expert of all people decide that this was a bad film?
Well, according to psychotherapist, Gupreet Singh, Nicolas Sparks' story is actually too perfect.
He explained: "Noah restores a house for Allie. He writes letter after letter waiting for her. They die holding hands. Talk about idealised love! If you believe in it you start to think: I shouldn't settle for less."
"But most average couples are nothing like that. We are humans, we are fallible. Love is imperfect because we are."
Now, we're not saying he hasn't got a point, but isn't it nice to fantasise every once in a while?
The Notebook was never meant to be a factual retelling of true events, but instead a fictional account of love at its best and at its worst – and in that sense, we think it did a pretty good job.
Sure, most of us probably won't find anyone willing to send us handwritten letters every day for a year, but it's nice to see that this kind of true love really does exist – even if it is just up on the big screen.
Movies galore! All of the films coming to Netflix this September
Now that the Summer is drawing to a close and the evenings are getting slightly shorter, it's time to bring on the movie-nights! Netflix UK & Ireland revealed which movies are being added to the streaming service next month, and it's quite a list.
Horror fans will be pleased to know that a number of scary flicks are being added in anticipation of the upcoming spooky season. 2018's Halloween, along with Freddy vs Jason, Slaughterhouse Rulez and The Babysitter: Killer Queen are among some of the films people can enjoy come September.
If you're looking for more of a family-friendly, movie-night vibe, then make sure to check out all three of the Johnny English films. If you want to feel nostalgic, then sit back and enjoy Gene Wilder's Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, or opt for the newer adaptation featuring Johnny Depp, which will also be available — just make sure to have plenty of sweets and chocolate at hand first!
Some of the new releases include Enola Holmes, starring Stranger Things actress Millie Bobby Brown, Henry Cavill and Sam Claflin. Millie plays the rebellious younger sister to Sherlock Holmes, who disguises herself as a boy in an attempt to find her mother after she goes missing.
The Devil All The Time is another new film being added to Netflix next month, featuring another star-studded cast, including Tom Holland and Robert Pattinson.
Deadpool and Zoolander are the way to go if you're looking for a good action-comedy. However if you're craving an emotional drama, then make sure to check out First Man starring Ryan Gosling and Claire Foy, which tells the story about how Neil Armstrong and his team made the first moon landing.
Netflix has assured us that this isn't their full list, and as always there will be plenty more films and series to be added to the streaming service next month.

Downton Abbey producer reveals a second movie is in the works
Downton Abbey fans, we've got some wonderful news for you.
A second movie is on the way!
Producer Gareth Neame revealed that they are currently in talks about creating a second Downton Abbey movie.
He told The Hollywood Reporter that they had this idea even before the first movie was released.
He said, "We started vaguely thinking about it [a sequel] before the release of the movie. But we were kind of holding our breath."
Gareth explained that the stellar reaction to the Downton Abbey movie blew them away, "The reaction to the film, the press tour in the U.S. and the buildup to release were so strong that we'd been thinking about it.
A post shared by Downton Abbey (@downtonabbey_official) on Sep 8, 2019 at 6:09am PDT
He added, "It was clear from the first weekend that this was worth taking very seriously".
The team has yet to decide on a storyline, but there's no doubt it'll be just as fabulous as the first film.
A post shared by Downton Abbey (@downtonabbey_official) on Jun 16, 2019 at 8:11am PDT
"We're working on what the story is, and when we might be able to make it."
However, the one hurdle they need to overcome is getting the entire cast together again. Trying to find a space in their schedules that works for everyone is going to be tricky.
A post shared by Downton Abbey (@downtonabbey_official) on Mar 8, 2019 at 8:00am PST
"We have to try to get everyone back together again. And that was very challenging," Gareth added.
"The challenge will be, is everyone available at the same time? Can we make deals with them? That will be the challenge."
We seriously need this to happen!

Get the tissues at the ready! Marley and Me is on TV this evening
The rain is pouring and our bank accounts are empty so our weekend is going to be very, very quiet.
Once we step in the door after work, we're putting our pjs on, ordering pizza and curling up on the sofa for the foreseeable future.
Instead of scrolling through Netflix for hours and hours we'll be tuning into one of our favourite Jennifer Aniston movies tonight.
Get the tissues at the ready because Marley and Me is on RTÉ2 at 21.30.
The movie follows journalists John and Jenny Grogan as they move to South Florida and start a new chapter of their lives.
After the couple tie the knot, John decides to buy his wife Jenny a dog- a Labrador named Marley.
The four-legged fur ball becomes a part of their family and is there for some of the highest and lowest moments of their lives. He swiftly turns into the loyal companion the couple can turn to during upsetting days and trying times.
The comedy-drama is based on the memoir of the same name by John Grogan.
Marley and Me stars Owen Wilson, Jennifer Aniston, Kathleen Turner and Alan Arkin
Tune in at 21.30 on RTÉ 2 tonight.
Notting Hill is on TV tonight so you may as well cancel your plans
The weekend is almost here and we're very excited to have a couple of days away from the office. With Christmas just around the corner, we're trying to limit our spending which means another quiet weekend for us.
Luckily, one of our all time favourite rom-coms is on TV tonight.
It's Hugh Grant's best movie (aside from Paddington 2) and we're awfully excited to watch it for the twentieth time.
Notting Hill is on Virgin Media 1 at 9pm so get your popcorn ready.
The 90s rom-com is our go-to movie when we're feeling a little low. It's set in beautiful London, stars the iconic Julia Roberts and has one of the best soundtracks.
The love story between the awkward bookshop owner, William Thacker and glamorous film star, Anna Scott is one of the best on-screen romances.
The late Emma Chambers also stars as the goofy sister of William. Hugh Bonneville, Tim McInnerny and Sally Phillips also star.
There are so many iconic scenes in this movie, but nothing tops the moment when William is forced to interview Anna during a press junket for her latest movies.
The scene is charming and awkward and it never fails to make us laugh when William says he works for Horse and Hound magazine.
This Richard Curtis classic is bound to warm your heart on this dreary November night.
Notting Hill is on Virgin 1 at 9pm.

11 nostalgic Halloween movies you need to watch this October
Halloween movies have a special place in our hearts and this month, we can't get enough of throwback movies to get us in the mood for all things spooky.
Plus, who doesn't love a good 90's made-for-TV Disney classic?
1. The Addams Family, 1991
To start things off, we gotta have the most famous Halloween fam of all time.
A dysfunctional family at it's best, there is a disembodied hand called Thing, a cousin called It that is completely covered in hair and creepy Uncle Fester.
Plus, it's gives us costumes for even the laziest person – Wednesday Addams anyone?
2. Halloween I and II, 1978 and 1981
The original slasher flick, John Carpenter's masterpieces brought us the legend that is Jamie Lee Curtis in her breakout role as a Scream Queen.
It's the typical Halloween fare – babysitters getting stalked by a masked man who wants to butcher them all. Throw in the super creepy musical score and you've got yourself the perfect autumn night in.
3. Halloweentown, 1998
Who didn't watch this Disney classic as a kid? It's cheesy and a bit cringey but who cares.
Debbie Reynolds is a delight as the witch who comes to tell her teen granddaughter that she too has magical powers. It's the ideal movie to put on and let your brain switch off – we dare you to watch and not feel a twinge of nostalgia.
4. The Rocky Horror Picture Show, 1975
This cult classic has midnight shows still running today where fans dress up as the characters and sing along to the songs.
Tim Curry is genius as Dr Frank-N-Furter, a transvestite scientist who lures innocent couple, Brad and Janet into his castle.
Amazing music ensues and there's even an appearance from Meatloaf.
5. Teen Witch, 1989
This forgotten gem is so 80's it hurts. Available on Netflix, it follows teen Louise as she realises her witchy skills on her 16th birthday (Yes, just like Sabrina)
Watch it even just for the ridiculously dated rap battle plonked in the middle of the movie that adds nothing to the plot.
6. Double Double, Toil and Trouble, 1993
Disney. 1990's. Olsen Twins. Halloween. We're in heaven.
This movie tells the tale that on Halloween night, two precocious little girls try to save their parents from their scary aunt.
It's the perfect slice of magical nostalgia to make you wish you could go trick-or-treating again.
7. The Witches, 1990
This movie genuinely terrified me as a kid.
Adapted from Roald Dahls' book, it follows an orphan, Luke, who sees a coven of witches and discovers that they want to turn all children into mice with a magical formula.
The witches find out that Luke is onto them and plan to test the formula on him. It's quite freaky, tbh.
9. Practical Magic, 1998
Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman playing supernatural sisters, who are trying to end a family curse that keeps them from finding true love? Yes please.
10. Carrie, 1976
It wouldn't be a Halloween movie list without at least one nod to Stephen King.
And Carrie is one of his best – following a bullied high school teenager, who has a nutty religious mum and is delighted to be asked to prom by hottie Tommy Ross. When a prank goes wrong, she lets loose.
The whole prom scene is magnificent rom start to finish.
11. The Witches of Eastwick, 1987
Cher, Michelle Pfeiffer and Susan Sarandon – name a more iconic trio, I dare you.
They have each lost the man in their lives until a stranger in the form of Jack Nicholson starts to date them all and eventually tells them that they are witches
Netflix movie night: The 15 stages we all know
by SHEmazing Contributor
It's Netflix night. (OK, every night is Netflix night, but this is Netflix movie night) so it's time to chill-out, chow-down and choose the perfect flick.
If you have managed to do all three of those things without an argument, an interruption or a complete emotional breakdown, then teach us your ways because the rest of us experience something a little more like this.
1. Saying sayonara to your diet, you ring the local takeaway and order every greasy thing on the menu.
We'll start again on Monday
2. Pulling off your skinny jeans (with a little help, if necessary) you scramble through your laundry for your biggest, baggiest sweats.
3. Diving onto the couch, you sprawl across your friend's lap and pull your hood over your head.
Time to vegetate, people.
4. Clicking on Netflix, you begin casually browsing while chit-chatting about the impending food delivery.
Movie nights are so relaxing, right?
5. Pausing and reading the description of every second film is beginning to stress you out a little because it seems like present company has seen every single thing on the menu.
Em, why are you here exactly?
6. Opening your brown paper delivery bag, you see they've forgotten your prawn crackers…again.
I swear, they hate me.
7. OK, back to the matter at hand; the movie!
Uh, why can't we just watch Bridesmaids again?
8. No, we are not watching something with subtitles.
Go home, jackass.
9. How have we finished our food and we still haven't pressed play on a movie?
It's like they've written, directed and starred in every film and can't bear to see themselves again.
10. For God's sake, what is wrong with watching a horror?
Sometimes I wonder why we're friends.
11. I wonder if eyeballing wine is really as dangerous and disgusting as it sounds.
My film-hating friend hates me more than my prawn cracker-hating delivery man.
12. It's now been ninety minutes and we're still on the menu page.
Honestly, is this normal?
13. Oooh! OOOH! Something they haven't seen, starred in or directed!
Ladies, we have a winner.
14. I suppose it is late, alright.
OK, grand, we'll watch it next time so.
15. Screw this.
I'm going to bed.
Can't wait for next week's Netflix fest!

The streaming service is retiring a few classic films from their repertoire. This happens pretty often, with movies coming and going seasonally. However, if you're stuck for a way to spend the last day of February, maybe one of these movies will tickle your fancy.
Whether you've already seen them or you're a first timer, here are the five movies leaving Netflix in March that you have to catch before they go:

An outdoor hot tub cinema is coming to London this summer
We've finally found the perfect outdoor cinema trend that is DESPERATELY needed on Irish land: Hot tub theatres.
Some absolute genius had the idea to combine hot tubs and watching movies, and we owe them so much for that wonderful conception. God bless them.
Organisers Tub Life have created an event where Londoners can test out the Hot Tub Cinema for real this August, but Dublin is normally about 20 years behind the England capital.
The hot tub cinema in London #travel pic.twitter.com/wCGY7lz3Kv
— sobore (@sobore) August 21, 2016
The cinema event of the century is scheduled to take place on August 31 from 6pm to 9pm, and we're contemplating booking our flights now, before Brexit goes and ruins everything for us.
Film fanatics will be able to strip and dip into relaxing hot water while enjoying whatever classic is playing on the big screen, with a cheeky bevvy. No skippy dipping allowed, sorry to disappoint you.
Tub Life wrote on the event page on Facebook: "Tub Life is coming to London and we're bringing our hot tubs with us! Expect performers, hosts, BBQs, round-the-clock tub service and the biggest portable screen in the UK."

"Note: the scheduled date is preliminary as we're currently finalising the few remaining details to this event. Click 'Interested' to be notified with more information," they concluded.
They'll confirm the exact location for London at a later date, and will also be visiting Maidstone, Liverpool, Chester, Brimingham, Manchester, Leeds, Bristol and Newcastle.
Who knows, they might even pop up in Dublin this summer if the demand is high enough, which it totally will be. Start the petition today lads, shall we?

Elizabeth Warren's Proposal on Student Loans - and What's In It for You
Aug 14, 2013 Jennifer Williamson, Distance Education.org Columnist | 2 Comments
Last year, Congress passed a temporary measure extending a 3.4% interest rate on federal subsidized Stafford loans for another year. This year, on July 1, lawmakers failed to come to a similar compromise—and interest rates for this type of loan have already risen to 6.8%. Still, some lawmakers haven't given up on trying to come to a better solution for students.
Senator Elizabeth Warren is one of those. A Democrat from Massachusetts, she has proposed a measure that would tie student loan interest rates to the rates offered by the Federal Reserve to financial institutions: currently at 0.75%. This would result in thousands of dollars in savings for the average college student working to pay back loans. Compared to other proposals, Senator Warren's could save students thousands of dollars per year in interest payments.
See Also: Going to College Online
Over 1,000 college professors from more than 568 traditional and accredited online colleges have signed a letter in support of Senator Warren's proposal. And it's not just Democrats who support it. According to a Public Policy Polling survey administered nationwide, people who identify as both Republican and Democrat support this bill. It's also attracted widespread support by numerous academic organizations, such as the American Association of University Professors and the United States Student Organization; and progressive activist groups such as Credo Action and MoveOn.org.
See Also: Online Political Science Degree Programs
Widespread support does not, unfortunately, translate to immediate action by Congress. The unfortunate truth is that both Republicans and President Obama support measures that would tie student loan interest rates to a far more volatile and expensive number—the performance of the ten-year T-note, a unit of investment in the federal government. The interest rate investors get back for investing in the T-note is tied to economic performance.
Under President Obama's version of this plan, interest rates are fixed at the time they're originated; under the Republican version, the interest rate is variable and adjusts with the economy every year. But if either of these plans went into effect today, students would have to pay slightly more in interest than the original number—approximately 4.75% instead of 3.4%. This is an improvement over 6.8%, true. But it doesn't get students a better deal than the original interest rate.
In addition, these interest rates have the potential to rise much higher than federal interest rates do today. For example, in 2007, loans originated under this plan would have interest rates of around 8%. So how expensive this measure turns out to be for you would depend on the year you graduate—and the growth of the economy that year. That's hard to predict—and increases the difficulties students and parents face in trying to judge whether they can afford a loan in the first place.
While market-based interest rates may save money in the short term for students who would otherwise have to pay a 6.8% interest rate, they don't keep costs down in the long term—and they have the potential to be very expensive once the economy improves. They increase the amount of money brought in by federal loans—but they don't do more to help students than simply lowering the interest rate back to 3.4%.
In general, the market-based plans make federal loans more expensive for students—and make interest rates less predictable as well. Elizabeth Warren's plan, however, has the potential to reduce student debt by thousands of dollars per year. It also has broad bipartisan support throughout the country. If it can generate that kind of support in Congress, there's a chance it could make a difference in the lives of students everywhere.

So sorry to hear that Cap Lee. I have believed for a long time college

BMA, RCN warn immigration charge will cost NHS
The British Medical Association (BMA) and the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) are urging the government to exempt health and social care professionals from the incoming immigration charge to prevent the NHS budget from taking a hit of millions of pounds.
The new immigration skills charge will, from April 6, apply a £1,000 charge per year of visa to overseas staff coming to the UK on a Tier 2 visa, which the BMA and RCN argue will result in bodies such as NHS employing trusts and Health Education England (HEE) incurring "substantial costs".
In a letter to home secretary Amber Rudd, BMA council chair Mark Porter and RCN chief executive and general secretary Janet Davies stress that failing to remove overseas health staff from the new rules would take vital funds away from frontline services.
"It cannot be appropriate to divert funding away from the budget for frontline health services and the training of health professionals in this way," the unions say, noting: "While the Government has suggested that funds raised from the charge would be reinvested back into the UK workforce and health system, we have been given no guarantees to that effect."
Healthcare cannot be treated as a business, they stress, and point out that if the charge been applied during 2014-15, NHS budgets would have incurred costs of £3.5 million, while HEE (which trains doctors) would have faced a bill of £1.6 million in 2015/16 with £2.1 million applied to nursing in the same period.
Similar charges apply in each subsequent year, as new staff are taken on, so these costs to the NHS would keep growing, the organisations stress, and note that, given the ongoing workforce shortages in both health and social care, the UK will continue to depend on overseas staff "for the foreseeable future".
"It is simply not possible to up-skill resident workers or put apprenticeships in place for doctors because of the long and rigorous training process involved and additional regulatory requirements," the unions argue.
"Checks and balances are already in place to ensure posts are first offered to UK and EU nationals through the resident labour market test.
"It is unfair therefore, to penalise health and social care employers for recruiting a doctor or a nurse on a Tier 2 visa to fill workforce gaps because a UK or EU national cannot be found to fill the post."
The government has said the charge will help to encourage investment in training, according to the BBC.

Mainstreaming Mothers' Milk
Breast milk is best for baby, so why are Hong Kong's breastfeeding rates so low?
By Jeffrey Wong and Tracy Chan
At 3.00 a.m., a baby cries loudly for his mother's milk. Although the mother wants to provide the best for her baby, she feels exhausted and weeps quietly on her bed. This is her 30th sleepless night.
"I expected it would be painful giving birth to a baby, but I never expected breastfeeding would also give me so much pain," Maxie Lai, a mother of two says.
Lai experienced blocked mammary glands approximately three times a month while breastfeeding her first son. It gave her fevers and made her dizzy. "I wanted to give up every time it happened," says Lai.
Worn down and sleep-deprived, Lai managed to persist in breastfeeding with support from her family, particularly from her mother-in-law.
Although Lai's mother-in-law is not highly-educated, she had breastfed two children and has been extremely supportive. Lai thinks her mother-in-law's advice is better than that given by professional nurses. "The problem is that they [nurses] only studied the academic theories but do not have hands-on experience," Lai says.
Unfortunately, she did not receive same amount of support in her workplace. Breastfeeding mothers need to nurse regularly to maintain their supply, those who work need to make reserves for their babies. But Lai's colleagues thought it was somehow shameful to pump milk at the office. The lack of space meant the only place mothers could express their milk was in the washroom. Lai finally resigned rather than explain to her colleagues that she needed to pump milk.
The unfriendly workplace environment for breastfeeding is one reason why only 14 per cent of Hong Kong mothers are breastfeeding after six months, despite the initial breastfeeding rate on discharge from hospital being as high as 83 per cent. According to the Department of Health, the overall breastfeeding rate in Hong Kong ranks nearly last among Asian countries and regions.
The city's dependence on formula milk for infants was highlighted when the mass purchasing of formula by some mainland visitors and parallel traders led to a shortage of certain brands earlier this year. While parents of formula-fed babies panicked, those of babies who were breastfed were unaffected. Instead, they faced different challenges.
Wong Yee-mei, a working mother, had to reserve breast milk for her baby before leaving home for work. She had to pump milk every three hours at home, which seriously interrupted her sleep.
Wong also pumped milk at her workplace and stored it in the refrigerator. But her colleagues criticised her, saying it was disgusting. They said it was unnecessary to breastfeed as formula was more convenient and beneficial to babies.

Congratulations, Jeff and Tracy, on your careful and thoughtful exploration of an important topic! As the medical experts you quoted said, breast really is best – but like most biologically-based behaviour, breastfeeding involves some learning and a supportive community. Since a lot of the traditional networks are no longer present in Hong Kong (as you explained) maybe the internet and online social networks could be used to "show and tell", share experience, and help build support for breastfeeding – and university students, like yourselves, can lead the way in campaigning for effective breastfeeding education – not just "how to" for new mums but public education on the value of breastfeeding, workplace support for lactating mothers, and a public health code with strong backing for breast-milk over formula. I breastfed my children (now grown up) for a year each, and weaned them on to cow's milk and solid food bit by bit – I'm so glad I did, and would be happy to think that the young women I teach in Hong Kong can have the same experience – and yes, without putting their careers on hold. Go, go, Jeff and Tracy – hope your article starts a debate, and a movement for change!

In this information explosion era, for the same strong commercial reason, I hope the baby formula company will shift their business in breast feeding equipment and accessaries. Similar to the cloth diaper business which might be more sustainable and profitable in a long run. It is a freedom of choice which is important to all the parents. New parents should have the right to understand the pros and cons for both choices. (Mother of two, breastfeed til 1 year / 7 months)

"SunTrust to Pay $29M to End Class Suit Over 401(k) Roster," Law360
SunTrust Banks Inc. has agreed to pay $29 million to settle an ERISA class action accusing the company of profiting at its workers' expense by letting them sink their 401(k) investments into poorly performing, affiliated funds.
The former workers leading the Employee Retirement Income Security Act case urged U.S. District Judge Orinda D. Evans to greenlight the agreement on Wednesday, saying the deal was "fair, reasonable, and adequate and free from fraud or collusion."
The workers' motion noted that the litigation has been "unusually hard-fought," beginning with an administrative claim filed with plan fiduciaries in 2008 and involving three lawsuits filed by different groups of plaintiffs that were eventually consolidated.
According to their amended complaint, SunTrust favored affiliated investments for its 401(k) plan that RidgeWorth Capital Management Inc., then a subsidiary, was able to collect fees from. And the company's benefits plan committee prioritized SunTrust's interests over the plan's participants when monitoring the plan's line-up, the workers claimed.
The workers are represented by James A. Moore and J. Brian McTigue of McTigue Law LLP; Karen L. Handorf, Scott Michael Lempert and Jamie L. Bowers of Cohen Milstein Sellers & Toll PLLC; and Alan R. Perry Jr. of Page Perry.

Chevy announces the fastest Corvette yet, the electrified 2024 Corvette E-Ray
Matt Burns
January 17, 2023, 9:50 AM ·2 min read
The great American sports car is going partly electric. Chevy pulled the wraps off the 2024 Corvette E-Ray, revealing a dual powertrain affair. A 6.2L Small Block V8 sits behind the driver in a mid-engine configuration. An electric motor is connected to the front wheels, providing AWD and instant torque for improved off-the-line launches. Together they're bringing the Corvette into the electric future.
Chevy says this Corvette is the quickest production model ever made, with a 2.5-second 0-60 time. That time upsets the current title holder, the monstrous 2019 Corvette ZR-1 that can hit 60 mph in 2.85 seconds.
But this electrified sports car does not need to be plugged in to recharge. Instead, the battery is exclusively charged by regenerative braking and when the vehicle is coasting.
The dual-powertrain arrangement comes with more benefits. With both axles powered, the E-Ray features eAWD, giving it better performance on the track and in adverse weather conditions. In addition, drivers can opt to drive only on battery power as long as the vehicle's speed does not exceed 45 mph.
A single electric motor powers the front wheels. It produces 160 hp and 125 lb. ft of torque. Combined with the 6.2L V8, the E-Ray produces 655 hp.
The Corvette E-Ray isn't the first sports car to look at two different powertrains for propulsion. The Polestar 1 used a similar affair, but in a different configuration. The main difference is that the E-Ray allows drivers to drive on an electric motor.
Polestar 1 Review: A hybrid grand tourer worthy of its $155,000 price
Chevy says that the 2024 Corvette E-Ray will go on sale sometime in 2023. The MSRP starts at $104,295 for the coupe and $111,295 for the 1LZ convertible model.

Happy Friday! Hope you gals had a great week and are gearing up for a nice, relaxing weekend. I'm going to spend it prepping some holiday stuff and decorating… nothing toooo exciting 😉 The weather has finally cooled down a little bit here in Miami… granted…not much, but at least I can wear long sleeves and the occasional sweater without melting into a puddle! I've had a few events to go to lately, and I always gravitate towards easy dresses if I'm going to be running around.
I wore this little black bell sleeve lace up dress to support my girl Kristin's Macy's event a few weeks ago. She was hosting a styling event for A/X and she always comes to support me at my events, so I really wanted to go by and see her at hers. We grabbed dinner afterwards and it was so nice to catch up… I hadn't seen her in so long, it felt like! I shared it on Snapchat and Instagram and so many of you loved the look, I decided to shoot it for the blog! You may remember this bell sleeve lace up dress from this post… I styled it a bit differently and belted it so it would be shorter. That's what I love about pieces like this… they work more than one way! When we invest in pieces for our wardrobes, I think it's important to go for pieces we can get a lot of mileage out of. Pieces that can mix and match and you can change their vibe with a simple accessory tweak… that's the mark of a must-need piece.
Just noticed the lace up dress is sold out, but this one and this one are great alternatives that look just like it!
I am having the time of my life styling this braided headband! It has really completely revitalized my creativity when it comes to hair styles. (I wore it last night to the opening of the new NYX store at Miami International Mall last night and got 5 compliments! I'm telling you… so many compliments.) Ya'll need one. Or all of them. I really wanted to do an updo to show off these gorgeous earrings.
I am IN LOVE with these Baublebar earrings, the Nevaeh Drops. They are so beautiful, the purple and pink are just so rich and gorgeous. I've been wearing them a lot, they give a great pop of color to any look.
Thanks so much for reading! I hope you have a great weekend! I'd love to hear… what are you up to this weekend? Let me know in the comments!
