It's hard to stop Uber if you can't find the drivers, officials say
by XPolice | Apr 22, 2016 | News
City will try to stop drivers who don't have commercial vehicle insurance

Hamilton city councillors have voted to outlaw any Uber drivers who don't have commercial insurance on their vehicles, and to seek a court injunction if they continue anyway. But both politicians and officials at city hall admit there's no real way to stop them.
City councillors voted Wednesday to ban Uber drivers who don't have the same commercial insurance as local taxi drivers.
But Ken Leendertse, who's proposing a new licensing category that would see the ride-hailing service pay $50,000 a year to operate here, says it's hard for the city to actually enforce it.
It can't even find who the drivers are, he said. Even the 32 charges the city has already laid are languishing in court.
"You can't just stand on the road (and spot them) because you don't know who the vehicles are," said Leendertse, the city's director of licensing and a former senior officer with Hamilton Police Service.
The only way to actually catch drivers is to use the Uber app to hail them, he said.
'None of this is worth the paper it's written on unless we can enforce them, and we can't.'
– Coun. Sam Merulla
And once they know someone is bylaw enforcement, they block the account associated with the person's credit card.
"The challenges in the enforcement avenue are difficult," Leendertse told city council's general issues committee. "It becomes a very difficult process and a very limiting process."
City councillors have spent many hours debating what to do about Uber, a ride-hailing service that has prompted mass protest from local cab drivers. About 40 taxi drivers attended the meeting Wednesday.
Proposed $50K per year licensing fee
Leendertse's team presented a draft licensing bylaw, which would subject ride-hailing companies with more than 50 drivers to an annual licensing fee of $50,000, plus a $20,000 dispatching fee.
The city will get public input on the new licensing category over the summer and present a final version to city councillors in the fall.
The new licensing bylaw would require drivers with ride-hailing companies to get police checks and annual Ministry of Transportation inspections. It would also require cars to be clearly marked.
'We look forward to continuing our work with officials and city councillors in Hamilton.'
– Susie Heath, Uber Canada
Taxi drivers, meanwhile, pay as much as $10,000 per month for insurance, said Jagtar Singh Chahal, CEO of Hamilton Cab. They also pay an annual licensing fee and undergo mandatory annual training through the city.
Current taxi drivers could help the city identify Uber drivers, he said. "There are Uber drivers sitting in Hess Village."
A new licensing category wouldn't create a completely level playing field between Uber and the taxi industry, Leendertse said.
'We still could have the wild west'
"We're hoping to get something that works for the industry and makes it as close as possible, but we are talking apples and oranges."
"We still could have the wild west," he said. Uber could ignore the licensing schedule and "we'd be in the same situation."
Sam Merulla, the Ward 4 councillor who moved to get court injunctions against illegal drivers, acknowledged that enforcement is hard.
"None of this is worth the paper it's written on unless we can enforce them, and we can't," he said.
He hopes Uber comes to the table to work out a licensing law, he said. And city staff say the company is willing.
Uber 'continuing our work' with Hamilton
"The alternative is to shove it underground where it's going to continue regardless," he said. "That's been proven internationally."
For its part, Uber Canada says it's been working with the city, and "across Canada to update rules for ride sharing," said spokesperson Susie Heath.
"We look forward to continuing our work with officials and city councillors in Hamilton to modernize regulations to encourage innovation, put people first and create safe, reliable and affordable transportation options," she said in an email statement.
Cities across Canada have been grappling with how to deal with Uber and other ride-hailing services.
Toronto, for example, just voted against creating a separate licensing class for Uber. Ottawa just established one.
Hamilton city council will ratify its decision at city council next week.

Have a Look At Our Pediatric Therapist Jobs In New Braunfels, TX


Most people don't know this but this is why they're called Whole Foods: they have a big list of things that are not allowed in their foods. If you click on Quality Standards, you can go to a list of unacceptable foods, and you'll notice that aspartame, MSG, and high fructose corn syrup are on that list! They also have quality standards for their produce, meats, body care, and cleaning products - viewable on that same link above. This is perhaps the single best reason to shop there.
To me this is one of the best reasons to shop there. None of their pork is raised in gestation crates (metal boxes that does not even allow them turn around). But you don't have to buy organic to buy meat at Whole Foods - they have '5 Stages' of meat, and the first stage is already better for you than the meat sold at conventional grocery stores. This is perhaps the second best reason to shop there.
The supplements at places like Safeway are very low quality. I would not even bother buying a $10 vitamin - you're getting such ridiculously small amounts of the active ingredients, that you might as well just flush your $10 down the toilet. Some of the supplements may be a little better quality - but at Whole Foods, you also get knowledgeable staff to help guide your purchases. Vitamins do work - if you buy quality ones that you actually need.
They do profit sharing with the staff, their staff rooms are a space you'd actually want to have lunch in, and the manager (where I worked) was the most human manager I have ever met in a grocery store - I have worked in several, and usually I was treated like a number. But at Whole Foods, he shook my hand and took the time to get to know me a bit. Then, after a busy Christmas, I got a bonus cheque (profit sharing) in the mail! I was very happily surprised. Also: staff are given a 20% store wide discount.
I'm really not a fan of how most grocery stores put those gossip rags by the till. And what we expose our minds to does affect us. I don't watch horror movies, I try to keep the intense dramas to a minimum, and I definitely don't need to know who back-stabbed who in Hollywood...in contrast, Whole Foods magazines are things that really make my life better: Paleo Magazine, Yoga Journal, Simple Life. I *like* reading their magazines.
I comparison shop so I do know what I'm talking about. I find Whole Foods produce is comparable to Save On Foods produce. Yes, some things are more expensive (like the bulk section, or the deluxe chocolate bars), so I only buy those when I can afford them. I notice prices, I prioritize, and I buy what I can afford.
Whole Foods has free Wifi, paper bags at the cash not just plastic, and I can usually get a quality meal from the salad bar and eat it in the courtyard - with filtered water. Altogether the experience is much more relaxed and nourishing to me than a conventional grocery store. And did I mention the deli uses quality ingredients? Safeways' deli, while it looks appetizing, is a mine-field of gluten, sugar, and preservatives. I know, because I've read the ingredients. As Joshua Rosenthal of IIN has said, he doesn't buy supermarket food.
To sum up, I know Whole Foods isn't perfect, but I think it is a place of abundance. When you shop there, yes you may pay a little more, but you're supporting humane, enlightened values: a healthier place to work, better quality food, greater kindness to animals, and a healthier environment. And those are things worth investing in.

UNC's wrestling team tops rival Duke on Friday, brings record to 5-4

America: land of the free — unless in a time of war.
PlayMakers Repertory Company will chronicle one Japanese American's fight against the U.S. government during World War II tonight with "Hold These Truths," a one-man play by Jeanne Sakata that tells the story of Gordon Hirabayashi,as a part of the "PRC2" series.
SEE "HOLD THESE TRUTHS"
Time: April 23 to 27 at 7:30 p.m., with a Sunday 2.p.m. matinee
Location: Kenan Theatre
Info: playmakersrep.org
Hirabayashi, a Japanese American, found himself battling for the most basic of rights after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941.
In 1943, Hirabayashi was found guilty of violating both the curfew and internment orders implemented by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Between sentencing and appeals, he spent almost a year in prison.
Forty years later, Hirabayashi's case was overturned, and in April 2012, President Obama posthumously awarded him the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Jeffrey Meanza, PlayMakers' associate artistic director, brought the play to Chapel Hill as this year's last play of the season after seeing it in New York City. It is also the last play in the company's PRC2 series, which features conversation-starting presentations and post-show discussions to engage audiences.
"('Hold These Truths') is about a topic that's not discussed certainly in the discourse of theater," Meanza said.
"There aren't a lot of plays about the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II. There isn't a lot of public discourse in general about that period of American history."
Originally performed on the west coast as "Dawn's Light: The Journey of Gordon Hirabayashi," the play was renamed "Hold These Truths" to better suit east coast audiences who might not be as familiar with the subject.
Director Lisa Rothe noticed that audiences discussed the play differently based on where they were — when "Dawn's Light" was performed in Hawaii, most of the audience either was or knew someone who was directly affected by the internment camps whereas in New York it served more as an intellectual exercise.
Despite the discrepancies in familiarity, Rothe said the play demonstrates the universal idea that history repeats itself.
Joel de la Fuente, who plays Hirabayashi, said "Hold These Truths" is a challenging play and similar to a marathon in that both require a lot of stamina, focus and discipline.
De la Fuente, who has appeared on "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" and "Hemlock Grove," has experienced taking jobs to earn his living, but said he loves looking for a great story in his projects.
"I feel like it's a great sense of responsibility to tell (Hirabayashi's) story, and so, it's funny, the dichotomy between bringing everything I am into it while at the same time trying to forget who I am while I do it," he said.
While the play focuses on the Hirabayashi's history, Rothe said the play is relatable.
"It is beyond the story of one man and his struggle, and it's much more universal," Rothe said. "I think it's about the struggle to be human and to be heard and to be seen."

Personal injury victims suffer from a number of serious injuries. One of the most serious types of injuries is a spinal injury. When someone suffers trauma to their spine, a variety of treatment options may be explored.
Spinal fusion surgery or arthrodesis is a special operation in which a surgeon fuses together multiple vertebrae. It helps to eliminate motion between vertebrae and to relieve pain. A successful operation prevents nerves, ligaments and muscles in the area from stretching to minimize pain.
Spinal fusion surgery may be used to treat a number of medical conditions, including scoliosis, stenosis, degenerative disc disease and spinal compression fractures caused by osteoporosis. However, the surgery is quite commonly used in relation to fractures and other damage caused by personal injury accidents, including motor vehicle accidents, employment-related accidents, crushing injuries and falls.
Spinal fusion surgery is considered a major surgery. The purpose of the surgery is to get the vertebrae in the correct position and then hold them in place so that they can be fused together. The surgeon uses a gaft such as a bone over the problem area of the spine or between the vertebrae. The gaft may consist of the patient's own bone or one from a bank.
Once the vertebrae are in the proper position, the surgeon uses screws, rods, plates or cages to hold the vertebrae in place. In order to place these items in the patient, the surgeon usually makes a one or two-inch incision. The screws are placed in a tube of bone into the vertebrae and then attached to the rods or plates. This action prevents movement from the area vertebrae so that they can fuse.
Patients who receive this type of surgery are usually required to remain in the hospital for at least a few days in order for their medical staff to properly observe their recovery.
All surgeries come with inherent risks. Surgery may result in the patient suffering from blood clots, experiencing breathing problems, developing an infection or suffering another medical condition while undergoing surgery, such as a stroke. Spinal fusion surgery in particular also carries the risk that the vertebral bones may become infected or that the spinal nerve can be damaged. If the latter occurs, a loss of sensation, bladder problems, bowel problems, weakness or pain may develop.
Another important consideration is that this type of surgery may help increase the rate of deterioration, which can lead to complications down the line. Additionally, the surgery causes movement to be limited and spinal flexibility to be decreased, which can cause the patient to experience some discomfort and difficulty tending to routine activities.
Spinal fusion surgery patients face a long recovery, usually significantly longer than other types of spinal surgery. Some patients immediately transition from a regular hospital stay to the rehabilitation unit. Patients must usually wear a brace immediately after their surgery and for weeks to come in order to keep the vertebrae in the proper position and so that the bone can become solid. Patients must adhere to specific directions from their surgeon in order to prevent further damage or regression, such as maintaining proper posture as they sit, stand, walk and reposition. For this reason, many surgeons require patients to limit all mobility for several days after the surgery or limit some movements such as walking. As the patient's have their strength restored, they are usually able to gradually restore their activity level.
Patients complete rehabilitative exercises in order to restore their back function and overall strength. The patient may take anywhere between two and six months to acquire normal functioning. The range is based on the patient's age and health, as well as comfort level. Some patients report that they feel more comfortable within weeks of the procedure.
Physical therapy after surgery gradually increases in intensity. For the first few days after surgery, patients may only be permitted to complete short walks. Mild stretching activities may then be implemented into the routine, using 30-second holds and three repetitions in two sets each day. After a few weeks, patients may commence higher intensity exercises, such as stretching their nerves. They may lay on their back and slowly lift one leg at a time with their hands holding the leg for support. Another common exercise is for the patient to lay on his or her stomach and then bring his or heal in toward the middle of the body as far as the body will allow it to be stretched. Patients usually receive specific instructions regarding the types of exercises that they can complete that their body can handle and that may provide some relief for the pain they are experiencing. Do not begin an exercise regimen without first consulting with your doctor.

In this conversation with Nico Marzano – film curator at the Institute of Contemporary Art in London – we speak his work as a curator and about the upcoming edition of a very special small film festival, called "Frames of Representation". We speak about the idea of the film festival as laboratory; as a space for discovery for innovative cinematic language and as a space where cinema and art become dynamic forces for change. Why does the 'film festival as laboratory' matter? Can cinema change the world? What do you believe in as a supporter of independent cinema?

Globalisation and competition from low-cost countries has pushed manufacturing firms towards offering services to remain competitive. However, increasing the service orientation of a manufacturing firm to find new ways of value (co-)creation has presented several challenges, such as the fact that services do not provide the expected revenues, and resistance from both the sales force and from customers towards services.
The aim of this thesis is to understand challenges linked to increasing service orientation in manufacturing firms, by means of goods and service business logics. The thesis emphasises the three dimensions of business logics – value perspective, service business strategy, and service offering – and studies them empirically in service divisions in the pulp and paper industry and in the automotive industry.
The findings show that firms with inconsistency between the three dimensions face certain challenges. Most often, the firms have a value perspective of goods business logic, but a service business strategy and a service offering of service business logic. Therefore, the most important and most difficult challenge to overcome in order to increase a manufacturing firm's service orientation is the employees' value perspective.
Three service manoeuvres were key to overcoming this challenge: changing employees' mind-sets, starting to value services, and separating products and services. Although separating products and services could be assessed as a service manoeuvre consistent with goods business logic, it facilitated an increased service orientation. The fact that goods business logic manoeuvres led to a higher degree of service orientation, whereas service business logic manoeuvres did not always do so, is discussed as a service orientation paradox.
Many companies in the process industries are seeing the advantages of services but are struggling with the changes these require as regards the offering and the organisation. This paper presents an empirical investigation within the pulp and paper industry based on a survey of Swedish manufacturing firms and a multiple case study of three case companies and their customers. To investigate whether the manufacturers active in this industry are product-oriented or are becoming more service-oriented, five themes important to the companies under study are presented and discussed: that is, finding the right mix of physical products and services, the concept of service, business models, technology-based services and organising service delivery.

When manufacturing firms increase the share of service revenues, managing service provision becomes challenging. This study extends previous research on servitisation in individual firms by analysing the challenges service provision creates in a value network. The challenges are identified both within the firms and in the business relationships in the value network. In addition, the paper identifies and describes service manoeuvres firms use to address challenges resulting from servitisation. This case study of a value network is based on interviews carried out at 13 firms in the automotive industry, including suppliers, original equipment manufacturers and consultancies. The research shows that service manoeuvres, such as new types of resource integration and value constellations, are used to overcome challenges in the value network.


In the title you will see i have written "owner" the reason for the quotation marks is I don't want to feel disrespectful calling myself an owner when i am fairly new to the scene.
I have looked into dollification for a while and it is certainly something that appeals to me greatly, which in turn means i would love to chat/correspond and ultimately own a doll of my own.
Therefore i guess what i am seeking is a doll to learn with, either someone experienced and patient who would care to share experiences and help me along th way as i dont see it as right to pretend to be an fully fledged owner. thats not fair on me or the doll and i guess would give a pretty poor experience all round.
either that or i would gladly talk with a similarly inexperienced "doll" where hopefully we could explore and grow together.
please feel free to leave me any comments or responses.
I'm new to this, too! Would love to hear from you.

Does the Algorithm Tell the Whole Story About Your Content?
When it comes to content strategy, it's easy to lean on algorithms to make decisions on content presentation—but algorithms aren't perfect, and they can create content blind spots if you're not careful.
Sometimes, the secret to making a piece of content more useful or appealing to your audience is all about the presentation.
And the failure to present it in the right context initially can cost you some momentum.
A saga in the world of streaming media has me thinking about this issue. Recently, Netflix announced it was canceling a show called Tuca & Bertie because of apparently low ratings—but that may seemingly stem from an algorithmic oversight on the part of the company. This is surprising because of the show's critical success and pedigree—it was created by Lisa Hanawalt, the illustrator behind one of Netflix's most popular animated shows, BoJack Horseman, and it starred high-profile actresses Tiffany Haddish and Ali Wong in the lead roles.
Predictably, after Netflix announced the cancellation, it generated a sizable backlash, with many accusing Netflix of failing to promote the show. At least anecdotally, it seemed like the show wasn't promoted in its dashboard the same way most of the service's other shows were. Even Hanawalt said the show wasn't recommended to her—despite the fact that she created it.
when a Netflix show gets canceled, "you didn't promote the show" is something we (yes I work @ Netflix) hear a lot. But what does that mean to you?
commercials/billboards? too few social posts? you're not shown the title when you log on to netflix? something else? combo of all?
— Jarett Wieselman (@JarettSays) July 25, 2019
It's far from the first time the service has faced criticism for its cancellations, but it seems like the company took this one to heart. In response, a Netflix social media manager, Jarett Wieselman, asked Twitter users what a lack of promotion meant to them.
Did a busted recommendation algorithm kill a well-regarded show? That seems to be the implication. Hanawalt said the show drew very passionate fans, something that pure data points didn't seem to catch. (Those fans are trying to save it.)
"None of this makes a difference to an algorithm, but it's important to me and the way I want to continue making art in this world," she tweeted.
The Blind Spot
In many ways, contextual weaknesses have always been a problem for television, long before Netflix was making its own shows.
One famous example: When Family Guy's time slot kept moving, Fox felt it had a dud on its hands and canceled it—but when reruns drew massive ratings on cable, the network revived the show, which is now on its 18th season.
But the fact that a recommendation algorithm can play a significant role in content's success feels like a modern twist on that age-old problem. It's one that likely will be felt by a lot of organizations that are also struggling with their own "programming" of content.
There is a case that, beyond pure numbers, letting the algorithms run the show may create issues of coverage that no program would think to account for.
Basically, content is an investment with potential risks and rewards. But when it fails to make a big splash, the problem may not be the content itself, but the way it's presented.
And when that content is largely put out into the world via an automated tool—such as a recommendation engine, an email marketing platform, or a social media scheduling tool—part of the problem may be an algorithmic blind spot. In a lot of ways, associations could run into the same problems as Netflix if the decision-making process is driven by data alone, no gut.
There is a case that, beyond pure numbers, letting the algorithms run the show may create issues of coverage that no program would think to account for. In recent years, for example, Facebook has faced lawsuits for its targeted job ads being discriminatory. In the case of Netflix, the problem is similar but more subtle: As The Daily Beast argued over the weekend regarding Tuca & Bertie, Netflix appears to be giving shows created by women fewer chances to succeed.
While not a fail-safe, giving humans more say over certain automation-related decisions ensures that blind spots become less glaring. As more types of organizations, especially associations, use such tools, these kinds of problems are going to become more common.
Create New Contexts
So let's say you've dug yourself into a hole where some of the content you've invested in isn't being promoted properly or is a victim of a "blind spot." What do you do?
I have a streaming world example for that, too. One of digital TV's most interesting services these days eschews the algorithmic recommendation model in favor of something more traditionally linear. That service, called Pluto TV, is actually kind of brilliant: Basically, it takes cheap archival content—old movies or TV shows that haven't appeared on cable in years—and puts them on their own themed channels. It works kind of like an alternate-universe version of cable for cord-cutters—like traditional corded cable TV for things that haven't aired on cable in a good long while.
Like Unsolved Mysteries or old Nickelodeon cartoons? Good, because there are dedicated channels for each. It uses algorithms, too, but those algorithms seem to be used mostly to figure out where to put the ads, because the service is free. You don't even have to log in if you don't want to. (And if you want to pick the show you watch, an on-demand option is also available in the service.)
The potential of the platform was clearly obvious, because Viacom—a company with a lot of traditional cable channels—quickly scooped it up earlier this year. Last week, it announced that it was creating dedicated MTV channels for music videos, a famous example of something the Viacom-owned MTV dropped in favor of more traditional ratings-friendly programming.
Maybe your content doesn't lend itself to that approach specifically, but the thinking here is clear. Perhaps if something isn't succeeding, the problem isn't the content, but the way it's being presented. Maybe it shouldn't be an article, but a webinar. Maybe it's getting buried in the inbox but plays better in search.
If your content strategy is creating gaps, don't just rethink the content. Rethink the context.

Leadership & Talent
Xbox CMO Mike Nichols Will Retire This Fall After Recruiting His Successor
He's also worked on Bing and MSN
By Marty Swant
Mike Nichols helped design, then market the search engine Bing during his time at Microsoft.
Xbox/Microsoft
After more than two decades with Microsoft, Mike Nichols is retiring as chief marketing officer of Xbox.
Nichols, who has spent the past five years leading the software giant's gaming division, told Adweek he will leave the company this fall after helping to find his replacement. He's leaving to pursue personal projects after a tenure that spanned a number of high-profile Microsoft products.
Prior to joining the Xbox team, Nichols was head of global marketing for Bing after working on the design team that created the search engine. Before that, he worked on marketing teams for MSN, Windows and Internet Explorer.
I'll be reflecting on how I can make an impact and have fun in the next act of my career.
"Over a long career at Microsoft, Mike established a track record of taking on big challenges, from building new brands to reinventing established brands," Microsoft CMO Chris Capossela said in a statement. "With Xbox he put in place a growth strategy and award-winning team that have delivered results and positioned the business for continued growth. We're sad to see him go, yet excited for him and this next chapter in his life and wish him the best."
Nichols and his team are credited with much of Xbox's success in recent years, transforming it from a hardware-led business to one that's more driven by services and subscriptions. As a result, Microsoft has doubled the Xbox's player base during, with revenue growing to $10 billion in 2018.
According to Nichols, much of that growth has been from taking a "player-specific" approach to marketing rather than a "device-specific" one. That includes the Xbox Game Pass, a subscription service he helped create, shifting the company's focus away from the initial debut and onto continual engagement. The direction that Xbox has taken echoes other areas of marketing within Microsoft as it seeks to put avid consumers first, rather than trying to steal market share from competitors.
"The advice I would have for everybody, and I think it kind of falls from the experience with Xbox, is really laser in to how can you engage a group of players up front and really, really understand what it is about the experience and how to grow from there," Nichols said.
His team's marketing efforts have been plenty successful. Microsoft has won a number of awards for various products and services. Just last month, Microsoft picked up a Grand Prix at the Cannes Lions for its "Changing the Game" campaign created with McCann New York for the Xbox adaptive controller.
"My advice to almost all of my marketers is spend lots of time with the product team," Nichols said. "You've got to understand and get input early."
The departure comes right as the gaming industry's streaming wars are heating up. Not only are esports an area of rapid growth for players and the marketers that want to reach them, but other companies are investing heavily in their own gaming platforms like Google's Stadia.
Nichols will stay on until the fall to help Capossela and others find a replacement. After that, he plans to spend some time reading, traveling with his wife and playing golf. However, he doesn't think Microsoft will be his last stop.
"I'll be reflecting on how I can make an impact and have fun in the next act of my career," he said.

The publisher plans to expand Metro into a larger paper, and increase distribution of Metro to 510,000 copies daily.
The first issue of Spits was released on June 21, 1999. The newspaper was familiar for being handed out at railway stations, as well as on regional bus lines, and inside IKEA and McDonald's locations.
TMG purchased Metro about two years ago. Last year, the newspapers' editor, Robert Brandwijk, said he believed there was enough room in the market for two free newspapers handed out at railway stations.

Madonna Wants Meghan Markle and Prince Harry to Rent Her Apartment
Johnny Lopez
The Queen of England's loss could be the Queen of Pop's gain.
Now that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have announced they are stepping back from their royal duties in Great Britain, Madonna has offered them the use of her multimillion dollar Manhattan apartment. Like a renter!
Do Megan and Prince Harry want to sublet my apartment on Central Park West?? ..................--❌ #madamextheatre #thelondonpalladium
A post shared by Madonna (@madonna) on Feb 4, 2020 at 3:15am PST
The Material Girl proposed the real estate deal in an Instagram video which she captioned, "Do Meg[h]an and Prince Harry want to sublet my apartment on Central Park West??"
The clip begins with Madonna making her pitch for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex not to move to Canada.
"Hey, don't run off to Canada. It's so boring there!" the 61-year-old says while having her makeup done backstage before one of her Madame X concerts. "I'll let them sublet my apartment on Central Park West."
The Upper West Side residence is located on the prestigious street, which is commonly referred to as CPW, and is reportedly worth $7.3 million.
She added: "It's two bedrooms. It's got the best view in Manhattan. Incredible balcony, that's going to be a winner, a deal breaker."
Madonna, who relocated across the pond during her eight-year marriage to director Guy Ritchie, finished off by jokingly saying, "Buckingham Palace has got nothing on CPW."
While they've made no indication of moving to the Big Apple, Meghan, Harry and baby Archie have been living on Vancouver Island in British Columbia since announcing they were stepping down as senior members of the royal family.
Should they decide to seek out property in the United States, a place on the West Coast may wind up being more realistic as reports claim Meghan is looking to once-again reignite her Hollywood career.
The former "Suits" star retired from acting prior to marrying into the royal family in 2018.


Survival rates tell you what percentage of people with the same type and stage of cancer are still alive a certain amount of time (usually 5 years) after they were diagnosed. They can't tell you how long you will live, but they may help give you a better understanding about how likely it is that your treatment will be successful. Some people will want to know the survival rates for their cancer, and some people won't.
Statistics on the outlook for a certain type of cancer are often given as 5-year survival rates. The 5-year survival rate is the percentage of people who live at least 5 years after being diagnosed with cancer. For example, a 5-year survival rate of 90% means that an estimated 90 out of 100 people who have that cancer are still alive 5 years after being diagnosed. Keep in mind, however, that many of these people live much longer than 5 years after diagnosis.
The numbers below are among the most current available. But to get 5-year survival rates, doctors have to look at people who were treated at least 5 years ago. As treatments are improving over time, people who are now being diagnosed with multiple myeloma may have a better outlook than these statistics show.
These statistics are based on when the cancer was first diagnosed. They do not apply to cancers that later come back or spread, for example.
The outlook for people with multiple myeloma varies by the stage (extent) of the cancer – in general, the survival rates are higher for people with earlier stage cancers. But other factors can also affect a person's outlook, such as their age and overall health, and how well the cancer responds to treatment. The outlook for each person is specific to his or her circumstances.
Your doctor can tell you how these numbers apply to you.
The numbers below are the approximate median survival using the Revised International Staging System of just over 3,000 myeloma patients treated between 2005 and 2012. These survival times are measured from the point that treatment, such as chemotherapy, first started. Since 2000 the percent of patients living five years after diagnosis has been increasing. Treatment since then has improved considerably and modern survival results are likely to be better.

Retail Brands Want Personalization But Are Slow to Implement
By Jared Shelly March 06, 2017
Consumers have come to expect online experiences that feel personal. Think about it, Facebook delivers curated news feeds and Netflix makes recommendations based on your viewing history. Those types of experiences have made consumers expect personalization all over the web, and retail brands are hoping to capitalize on the paradigm shift.
In fact, 70% of retailers cited personalization of the customer experience as a leading customer engagement priority for 2017, according to the Boston Retail Partners 2017 POS/Customer Engagement Survey. Personalization ranked highest among all responses, beating out popular initiatives like responsive mobile design, disseminating data across all channels in real-time, and in-store customer-facing technology (like digital signage and smart fitting rooms). Boston Retail Partners surveyed 500 retailers in the United States and Canada.
But there's a serious gap between the personalization features retailers are currently offering and what they hope to offer in the future. Just 7% of retailers currently suggest selling based on social media posts and activity — but 36% plan to offer it in one to three years. When it comes to selling based on online browsing history, just 7% currently do so, but 30% plan to within the next 12 months.
Browsing history and social media activity are some of the most telling things people do online. They're portals into how people discover the products they hope to buy or learn more about. If retailers can leverage that data, they'll have a much better chance of turning discovery into conversion.
Retailers are much further ahead on other personalization efforts. For example, 34% of retailers already offer personalized rewards based on customer loyalty and 23% currently make offerings based on previous purchase history.
"Personalization is one of the top trends to watch this year. At the National Retail Federation's annual Big Show, this January, marketers from Macy's to Walmart discussed customization through technology as a critical strategy to help attract shoppers and customers' need for 'instant gratification' as a way to ramp up profit," according to eMarketer's February 2017 report Personalization in Retail Roundup.
How can marketers implement the personalization features they want? Almost two-thirds (64%) use personalization technology, whether they license it or built their own, according to a recent report from Clearhead. But that means 36% don't use personalization technology at all.
What channels are they using for their personalization efforts? More than half are doing so via email and their websites, while mobile website and apps lagged behind at around one-quarter, according to a study of 250 marketers by Evergage and Researchscape.
"Personalization has been tying itself well with email marketing efforts lately. Certainly not a new channel, email has recently gained greater value among other channels by incorporating more tailored and dynamic content," according to eMarketer. "In fact, retailers are big on this; creating email content that factors in gender, location, age and more."

Is Issue 2 Too Much To Ask For?
Don't get me wrong, I'm incredibly psyched to see not one but TWO copies of issue 1 of Monsters Attack up right now, but the issue I've been obsessed with tracking down since I was 11 was issue number 2.
Monsters Attack was a short lived b/w horror anthology comic magazine in the style of Creepy and Eerie that came out in 1989, courtesy of the fine folks at Cracked (formerly known as the B grade MAD, now known for being a top notch humor site). It only lasted 5 issues, but that was enough time for young me to stumble upon it while wandering the aisles of the local pharmacy one summer during the yearly family vacation to my grandmother's house in Mattapoisett, MA (oddly, I'm not sure how it could have been summer now that I see that the covers of issue 1 and 2 were September and October, respectively, but we were def on an extended visit "down the Cape" when I saw it, and while we did go down multiple times year round, extended stays were a summer thing. Maybe it was a warm fall).
Anyways, I remember exactly one story from that issue. It was about two guys fishing on a boat, who came upon a bunch of mermaids, and who accidentally caught one on the line. So they brought it back to the aquarium one of them worked at (or oceanic institute or whatever, at best I was 12 so details are fuzzy) and put it in a tank. Long story short, one guy gets obsessed with the mermaid and jumps in the tank to swim with her… and it turns out the mermaids eat human flesh. The other guy brings the mermaid back out the ocean where the rest of her "school" were and dives in, because he had poisoned himself and them eating him would result in their deaths. Or something like that, again, I was 11 or 12. But the mermaid as cannibal thing stuck with me for YEARS, literally, with no memory of the title of the comic or the story or anything else.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid. 01
It's a new school year, and Greg Heffley finds himself thrust into middle school, where undersized weaklings share the hallways with kids who are taller, meaner, and already shaving. The hazards of growing up before you're ready are uniquely revealed through words and drawings as Greg records them in his diary.
In book one of this debut series, Greg is happy to have Rowley, his sidekick, along for the ride. But when Rowley's star starts to rise, Greg tries to use his best friend's newfound popularity to his own advantage, kicking off a chain of events that will test their friendship in hilarious fashion.
Author/illustrator Jeff Kinney recalls the growing pains of school life and introduces a new kind of hero who epitomizes the challenges of being a kid. As Greg says in his diary, "Just don't expect me to be all 'Dear Diary' this and 'Dear Diary' that.†? Luckily for us, what Greg Heffley says he won't do and what he actually does are two very different things.
Since its launch in May 2004 on Funbrain.com, the Web version of Diary of a Wimpy Kid has been viewed by 20 million unique online readers.

The Mainstay Concerning Jurisprudence (Al-Umda fi l-Fiqh - Handbook of Hanbali Fiqh)
Shaikh al-Islam Imam al-Muwaffaq ibn Qudama (A.H. 541-620) was one of the luminaries of his day and age. Born in the town of Jamma'il in Nablus in Palestine, he emigrated to Damascus with his family at the age of eight, after the Crusaders had seized control of his country. Studying at first under the tutelage of his father, Shaikh Abu 'l-'Abbas Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Qudama, he learned the rudiments of the religious sciences, and the texts of the Hanbali school of jurisprudence, including the Mukhtasar [Compendium] of al-Kharaqi. At the next stage he studied under various of the Shaikhs of Damascus and continued to make progress in learning, until he reached the age of twenty. Then, between the years A.H.560 and 561 he embarked on an educational expedition to Baghdad. At the outset of his career, al-Muwaffaq spent a brief period in the presence of Shaikh 'Abd al-Qadir al-Jilani. Under the Shaikh, then in the ninetieth year his life, he studied the Mukhtasar [Compendium] of al-Kharaqi at the level of understanding and meticulous scrutiny. Shaikh 'Abd al-Qadir completed his earthly life shortly after that, so al-Muwaffaq turned to the Shaikh of the Hanbalis and the leading jurist of 'Iraq, Nasih al-Islam Abu 'l-Fath Nasr ibn Fityan ibn Matar an-Nahrawani, well-known as Ibn al-Muna (A.H. 477-564). Under him he studied the jurisprudence of the school of Imam Ahmad [ibn Hanbal]. After four years in Baghdad he returned to Damascus and there he preoccupied himself with the composition of his great commentary (al-Mughni) on al-Kharaqi's Mukhtasar.

Chinese Create First Warp Drive [Impossible Drive]
It may sound like something that would transport the Heart Of Gold in The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy, but the "impossible drive" may soon be racing our explorers to Mars and powering our satellites. More formally known as the "electromagnetic drive," or "emdrive" for short, this steampunk-looking device converts electrical energy into thrust via microwaves, in a way that some physicists believe is impossible. But the Chinese claim they're building a prototype right now.
British scientist Roger Shayer caused a stir when New Scientist highlighted his claims that an em drive could violate strict Newtonian physics, thanks to an effect of Einsteinian relativity. The drive works by filling a "tapering resonant cavity" with microwaves. Critics have dismissed Shayer's idea as another perpetual motion machine, and the British government cut off his funding. But his assocation with China's Northwestern Polytechnical University in Xi'an paid off, and the NPU team has been able to confirm Shayer's work independently. They also claim they're building a a thruster based on Shayer's theories.
If it works the emdrive could create almost as much thrust as the ion thruster NASA currently uses, but using a quarter of the power, Shayer tells Wired. Says Wired:
The possibilities are phenomenal: Instead of going out of service when they run out of fuel, satellites would have greatly extended endurance and be able to move around at will. (We wouldn't have to shoot them down because of the risk from toxic fuel either.) Deep space probes could go further, faster –- and stop when they arrive. Shawyer calculates that a solar-powered Emdrive could take a manned mission to Mars in 41 days. Provided it works, of course.
If this actually pans out, and the Chinese government reaps the benefits, it'll be an object lesson in the dangers of dismissing new scientific ideas out of hand. It could have been Britain building the next-generation fleet of super-fast Mars explorers, after all. Mostly, though, a Chinese breakthrough in the "impossible drive" could spark a new space race — especially if, as Wired hints, the emdrive stands to give China a decisive military advantage in space.

Keys To Nfl Preseason Betting

During the regular season, the key numbers of 3 and 7 are absolutely vital. Coaches have an unwritten rule to avoid overtime at all costs. Trailing teams will go for two or bypass game-tying field goals to avoid the extra period. This makes 1 and 2 significantly more valuable than during games that actually count. Although buying any points in the preseason would be ill-advised, shopping various books to get the best number can be the difference between a winner and a loser.
Take a look at the lines early on in the week and continue to monitor them each day. If you see a team go from being a 3-point informative post favorite to being a 2-point underdog, there could be a good reason for that. The Steelers' quarterback combo of Mason Rudolph and Dwayne Haskins has extensive starting experience in the NFL and plenty to prove. This is another game where I like the underdog — the Steelers win outright and control this game from start to finish.
Bridgewater may be showcased here, though, if the team is looking to trade him, and the Eagles are simply trying to stay healthy for https://home.gtrgestion.cl/2021/06/28/balance-sheet/ their Week 1 matchup with the Atlanta Falcons. With the NFL preseason kicking off in August and teams reporting to training camp later this month, ZCode System takes a look at some of the preseason football hacks bettors should know. One thing that is clear from looking at this data is that some teams perform better in the role of an underdog than as a favorite and vice versa. Some teams are bad or good in both roles, but most have a clear 'preference' for one or the other. Here's a valuable preseason handicapping lesson that doesn't even require drilling deeper into the data—heading into the 2010 NFL preseason 21 of the 30 teams had a pointspread record below .500 as a favorite. That's also why the 'best' teams as favorites have less impressive records than their underdog counterparts.
Remember, sharps usually wait to bet Unders, but they weren't waiting here, which means they really loved Under 37 or more. Makes sense … if you like the Under, then a team side line of 6 or more will look appealing too. I opened Ravens -3.5 because of Baltimore's great recent preseason history.
Most of the starters have been on the sideline during the preseason and it still seems unlikely Aaron Rodgers will be out there this week. After losing both of its preseason games so far, the WynnBet odds are predicting another defeat for Green Bay. Because of so much uncertainty, sports books will post stricter limits for this weekend's games. Bettors can only wager $2,000 at Cantor until game day, when the maximum play increases to $10,000. History shows coaches who value the preseason include Baltimore's John Harbaugh, Miami's Tony Sparano and Detroit's Jim Schwartz.
And Thursday's game, featuring Pennsylvania's two pro football teams is eligible for the promotion. Nelson was released by the Steelers in March in a cost-cutting move and will get a chance at revenge against his former team Thursday. The defensive back played four seasons in Kansas City before spending the last two in Pittsburgh.
Denver Broncos head coach Vic Fangio told reporters that WR Courtland Sutton is expected to play in the team's final preseason game. The meaningless nature of NFL preseason games makes it unlikely the current futures odds will change ahead of the start of the regular season, no matter what happens. Preseason NFL odds are a different animal than regular season odds. Teams use this time of the season to try out new players and schemes and generally just feel things out.

We are currently taking in new patient registrations.
We now have in-house phlebotomy , so if you need any blood tests taken please make an appointment at reception.
A GP can see approximately four patients in the surgery in the time he can see one patient on a home visit. In most cases visits are not medically necessary, and patients do not come to harm by being brought to the surgery. If you think a visit is necessary it is worthwhile discussing this with your doctor on the telephone.
the truly bed-bound patient for whom travel to the surgery by car would cause deterioration in their medical condition or unacceptable discomfort.
After initial assessment over the telephone a seriously ill patient may be helped by a GP's attendance to prepare them to travel to hospital - that is, where a GP's other commitments do not prevent him/her from arriving before an ambulance.
It is understood that if a GP is about to embark on a booked surgery of twenty-five patients and is told that one of his/her patients is suffering from symptoms suggesting a heart attack, the sensible approach may well be to call an emergency paramedical ambulance rather than attending.
In most of these cases, to visit would not be an appropriate use of the GPs time.
Common symptoms, such as childhood fevers, cold, cough, earache, headache, diarrhoea/vomiting and most cases of abdominal pain. These patients are usually well enough to travel by car. It is not necessarily harmful to take a child with a fever outside. These children may not be fit to travel by bus or to walk, but car transport is available from friends, relatives or taxis. It is not a doctors job to arrange such transport.
Adults with common problems, such as cough, sore throat, influenza, back pain and abdominal pain are also easily transportable by car to a doctors premises.
Common problems in the elderly, such as, poor mobility, joint pain and general malaise, would best be treated by a consultation at a doctors premises. The exception to this would be the truly bed-bound patient. If in doubt ask to speak to the doctor.
If you need a home visit please ring before 10.00am. You should have received a copy of the NEHA booklet 'Before you Phone the Doctor', which is very instructive.

Stampede tramples the Phantoms
News December 2, 2011 / 10:12 AM August 13, 2013
The Youngstown Phantoms (12-6) lost Thursday night after a shootout against the Sioux Falls (8-7-1), ending their four-game winning streak.
The Phantoms lead 1-0 on the ice after right wing forward Stephen Collins scored his first goal of the season with 2:26 left in the first period.
Head coach and general manager Anthony Noreen said it was good to get Collins on the board.
"It's funny because we were just talking today that he's one of the guys that we need to get going and need to get on the score sheet," Noreen said. "He's been playing really good hockey. It just hasn't been going in the net for him one reason or another."
After a scoreless second period, the Phantoms kept the slim one-point lead late into the third period and had a chance to score again. Center forward Austin Cangelosi drove to the net but was blocked by Stampede goalie Stephen Williams.
Noreen said it was one of the key moments in the game.
"He's really good," Noreen said on Williams. "That was as good as a save as I've seen all year."
Shortly after, Phantom right wing Ryan Belonger dropped his gloves and began brawling with Stampede center Justin Selman. Belonger fell on the ice first, and the Stampede gained momentum.
Ed McGovern scored for the Stampede with 4:22 left in the third period, tying the game 1-1.
The game concluded with the Phantoms' second shootout of the season. The Phantoms led early, 1-0, on Cangelosi's goal. However, the Stampede made their final two shots while the Phantoms missed theirs.
Noreen said he's not a fan of shootouts, but it could have gone either way.
"I don't think it's a great way to end the game by giving guys unearned chances, but when it goes there, you got to take care of it; we didn't do that," Noreen said.
Noreen added that the team had a couple of missed opportunities throughout the game.
"I thought they had decent puck possession in zone protection," he said. "I didn't think we created many grade A chances. I think it's something we'll review on video tonight and hopefully try to improve going into tomorrow."
One aspect Noreen enjoyed was the individual defensive effort.
"I thought our defensive men and our goaltending were very good," Noreen said. "I don't think our team defense was our best, but you'd hope that giving up one goal would win you games."
Noreen added, however, that momentum on the bench was not up to par. He said it was good but not good enough.
"I thought we played hard, but I thought we didn't play well enough to our standard. I thought we just played okay," he said.
Even thought the Phantoms played extra minutes on the clock, Noreen said it shouldn't affect the players.
"If that's going to affect our guys, we're doing something wrong. I think our guys are fine," he said. "I think at this age and the condition they're in, they'll be able to play two games in a night."
The Phantoms hit the road to take on the Muskegon Lumberjacks Friday and Saturday. The Phantoms are winless in two games against the Lumberjacks this year, but Noreen said they're going to prepare better for this weekend.
"We're gonna go on the bus here, review the film," Noreen said. "These guys are going to get a good stretch in here, get a good meal in here. I think based on the team we're playing tomorrow and our history so far with them this year, there shouldn't be much we have to save as a staff."

India wins 1st ODI against WI in Kochi
The Indian spinners were the undoing of the West Indies ODI line-up as the visitors folded for 211 in 48.5 overs. The hosts then sailed to the target to register a six-wicket win and take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series.
The trio of Ravindra Jadeja (three wickets), Suresh Raina (three wickets) and Ravichandran Ashwin dismantled the visitors' line-up to bowl the visitors out with seven balls to spare in the first ODI. Then with a scintillating 133-run partnership, the in-form Rohit Sharma (72) and Virat Kohli (86) put India in a commanding position. And although Kohli departed with victory in sight, Yuvraj Singh and MS Dhoni took India across the line with 88 balls to spare.
Earlier, after WI ODI captain Dwayne Bravo opted to bat first, the run-out of Chris Gayle in the first over set the tone for the innings. Bhuvneshwar Kumar was once again responsible for Gayle's departure. The pacer collected the ball in his follow through to send back the opener without a run on the board.
Although Johnson Charles then found an able ally in Marlon Samuels to build a partnership, Jadeja, introduced into the attack in the 10th over struck to end it for 65. Diving to his left, the left-arm spinner pulled off a one-handed catch to send back Johnson. 12 runs later, a Raina delivery stayed low and knocked over Samuels' middle-stump. With the wicket aiding spin and the batsmen continuing to be perplexed by it, Dhoni attacked with all the spin weapons in his armoury.
Darren Bravo continued to graft runs and was supported by Lendl Simmons for another 65-run partnership, until Raina trapped the latter leg-before. Narsingh Deonarine was the off-spinner's next scalp four overs later. Attempting to sweep, Deonarine missed and saw his bail topple off.
With spinners getting purchase off the wicket, Dhoni handed the ball to Rohit Sharma who was also miserly in his short spell.
Joined by Dwayne Bravo in the middle, Darren Bravo decided to accelerate in the batting powerplay. While Darren lofted Jadeja over mid-wicket, his captain launched Ashwin over the ropes in the next over. However, in the following over, Mohammed Shami breached Darren's defense and uprooted his stumps. And Dwayne, stepping out to Jadeja in the next over, was stumped by Dhoni. Darren Sammy, attempting to clear the ropes, was caught at long-on by Bhuvneshwar off Jadeja. Sunil Narine, who replaced him, handed a catch back to Ashwin and returned without adding to total.
Couple of overs later, Ravi Rampaul, taking the aerial route off Ashwin, was caught by Shikhar Dhawan after WI had trudged their way past the 200-run mark.
Chasing 212, Dhawan departed nicking Jason Holder to the keeper in the fourth over. But Virat Kohli then joined forces with Rohit to make easy work of the target.
Rohit held up one end and bided his time early in his innings. He soon overtook Kohli to bring up his fifty in 53 balls. Scoring at over six runs per over, they blunted the WI attack as they galloped towards the target. Kohli then reached his half-century off 58 balls.
With 68 run required, India took the batting powerplay in the 25th over. And off the last ball of the over, Rohit, taking the aerial route, holed out to Simmons off Rampaul to return for 72.
With Yuvraj Singh for company, Kohli brought India within sniffing distance of the target. He pulled Holder for a six to become the joint-fastest – along with Viv Richards – to reach 5000 runs in ODI cricket. However, he was caught by Narine off the very next ball.
Suresh Raina, who replaced him, followed him back. The India captain then walked out to the middle and got off the mark with a boundary off the next ball. In the next over, Dhoni hit Holder for a couple more. He, along with Yuvraj, took India to 212-run target with ease.

Israel plans to return the bodies of three Lebanese Hizb Allah fighters killed in a fierce border clash, in the hope of easing tensions with the resistance group and Beirut, the Israeli army says.
Four fighters died during a Hizb Allah raid on Monday which Lebanese security sources said aimed, but failed, to seize Israeli soldiers who could be traded for Arabs jailed in Israel.
One of the dead was retrieved by the Lebanese but the rest remained on the Israeli side of Ghajar, a divided border town.
Eleven Israeli soldiers were wounded in the clashes, the fiercest since the Jewish state withdrew forces from southern Lebanon in 2000 after a 22-year occupation. Israel retaliated for the Hizb Allah raid with shelling and air strikes.
The Israeli army said in a statement that following an official request by the Lebanese government, Israel would hand over the Hizb Allah fighters' bodies to Lebanon on Friday at Rosh Haniqra, a border town known to Lebanese as Naqoura.
"There is hope in Israel, which has been communicated to Beirut, that this gesture will help calm down the frontier," an Israeli security source said.
Tensions had been ratcheted up further on Wednesday when an Israeli civilian paraglider pilot was blown across the border by strong winds. The pro-Syrian Hizb Allah and Israeli troops exchanged fire as he dashed back to safety. There were no casualties.
