A camel excursion from Haven La Chance is the highlight of your Desert visit to Merzouga.
An overnight camel excursion with a campfire dinner under the black sky with 1000's of stars and falling meteorites is an incredible soul cleansing experience.
Or an early sunrise/sunset ride to the dunes while sleeping at our hotel. The more adventurous can experience a longer 6 day camel excursion living the life of a desert nomad.
This itinerary is flexible as your camel man knows what to do, A possible sand storm or sudden rain storm requires improvising- and he is an expert at that and knows what to do. All meals and water and tea are provided.
You begin your adventure of Camel Trekking Merzouga by collecting your camel in the afternoon by the Fossil beds outside of Erfoud. A short ride here to become familiar with your "ship" in the desert and bed down after a campfire dinner. Perhaps stay with local folks or sleep under the stars with your bedding that has been provided.
Next morning, you travel along the black desert with volcanic rock, pass by the dry river bed and the Tisserdimine Oasis is where you spend the night.
The next day, you are comfortable with your beast and can maneuver a bit in the sand dunes with your camel while looking for nomads to camp with. They roam around so no guarantees.
Next day, continue south in the center of Sand dunes and sleep there.
This day brings another Oasis in the Dunes where you rest behind the tall dunes of Merzouga.
You visit the Mfes Lead mines, the village of Merzouga with its famous lake with flamingoes (not may these days) and camp near Haven La Chance – Desert Hotel Merzouga.
This is a thrilling experience for the ones not willing to spend much time inside the dunes. This option gives you the chance of cruising on camel back on the dunes just for a couple of hours.
You'll be taken by one of our employees on camel back, into the dunes and you'll spot on the best spot there is to watch either Sun set or Sun rise.
After this small desert tour you'll return to the hotel, and if in the morning you will have a great breakfast ahead of you; if in the afternoon you'll have a refreshing mint tea waiting for your arrival.
This option gives you the chance of cruising on camel back on the dunes for a few of hours and get to know the desert. If the weather is cool, you have a Nomad tent to sleep in or perhaps share a tent with nomads.


As the crews returned to Subic Bay over the weekend, the boats have continued to be re-launched ahead of next Saturday's race restart. Four boats are now in the water - Qingdao, Glasgow, New York and Victoria. Uniquely Singapore is due to be launched later on Sunday evening.
Liverpool 08 is also ready to be launched, with the rest of the fleet close behind with all the keels now drilled and ready to go.
The hydraulic hose failed on the hoist on Sunday morning, just to test the team's nerves and slow down the re-launch schedule for a short while. But within a couple of hours it was fixed and back in action, moving the Clipper 68's around the confines of the busy yard.
Two professional riggers from The Rig Shop in Southampton have been busy stepping the rigs of the boats that have been re-launched. New York and Qingdao both have their rigs in and are looking like boats again - an uplifting sight for the workers, the Race Team and crews alike. New York went for a spin around the harbour this morning sporting her rig, and made an appearance at the Subic Bay Yacht Club where the fleet were originally berthed upon arrival.
During the afternoon Assistant Race Director Simon ROWELL took crews on a tour of the Water Craft boatyard, where all the work has been taking place, so that returning crews can get a first-hand view of the rectification work before the remaining boats are re-launched.
Chris GLADISH, the Mecal surveyor, has also been on site along with surveyor Richard LAMBLE for the final safety survey, and to ensure the work has been carried out to the highest standards.
Sails and bunks are out of storage and being prepared to be put back onboard. The final week of preparations is now underway. Crews, having spent a few weeks away from the boats, are itching to get back on board and get racing again.
Clipper Chairman Sir Robin KNOX-JOHNSTON will be arriving in Subic Bay on Thursday ahead of Saturday's re-start.

Company climate disclosures jump in 2021 as board pressure builds
By Patturaja Murugaboopathy and Simon Jessop
LONDON (Reuters) – The number of companies sharing climate data with CDP, the world's leading disclosure platform, jumped by nearly 40% over the last year as investors and policymakers pressured boards, data seen by Reuters showed.
Most of the world's asset managers focus on climate change disclosures in their efforts to pick the winners of the transition to a low-carbon economy and to assess the risks for their portfolios.
While some countries have begun to make such disclosures mandatory, the standardised data required by the non-profit CDP platform has long provided investors with data that allows them to compare corporate performance.
Since the Paris Agreement of 2015, when countries agreed to try to limit global warming, the number of companies filing to CDP has more than doubled to 13,132 from 5,532. The CDP was founded in 2000.
"If you look at those numbers, you see this rate of change increase, and I think that's really important. Each year is a much bigger leap than we expected from the previous year," Nicolette Bartlett, executive director at CDP, said. (Graphic: Number of corporate climate disclosers , https://graphics.reuters.com/CLIMATE-CHANGE/lgpdwojwxvo/chart.png)
The pace of disclosures has also risen consistently, bar a COVID-19 induced slow-down last year. In 2020-2021, it grew by 38%.
Despite the increase in companies reporting to CDP, the quality of disclosures remains patchy and nearly 17,000 companies received the lowest possible 'F' grade in the NGO's annual assessment for not reporting any data.
After disclosing data, companies are encouraged to set targets to reduce emissions, and specifically targets in line with the science of climate change and the goal to cap global warming at 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 Fahrenheit) above the pre-industrial average.
Yet just 1,054 companies have had their targets signed off by the Science-based Targets Initiative, a collaboration between CDP and other NGOs, and less than a thousand of the CDP disclosers report the emissions tied to the goods and services they buy and the use of their sold products.
"We're clear that for the companies coming into our system, disclosure is the first step of the journey and measurement obviously means that you end up managing and, ultimately, hopefully transforming your business model," Bartlett said.
The drivers of disclosure continue to be investors and companies pushing their suppliers to act, with further impetus coming from fresh pledges to rein in emissions at U.N. climate talks in Scotland last month.
A regional breakdown, shows the biggest jump in disclosures since Paris was from Latin America, up 332% to 1,614 from 374. Asia climated 201% to 3,774 from 1,256 and Europe, increased 140% to 4,187 from 1,745.
By country, China stood out with a 416% rise in disclosures to 1,408 from 273. (Graphic: Countries leading on corporate climate change disclosures this year, https://graphics.reuters.com/CLIMATE-CHANGE/jnvweajyyvw/chart.png) (Graphic: Number of corporate climate change disclosers by region, https://graphics.reuters.com/CLIMATE-CHANGE/zgvomnarrvd/chart.png)
While the number of corporate disclosers jumped, a breakdown by sector shows some of the heaviest-emitting lagged in sharing data. (Graphic: Increase in corporate climate change disclosers by region, https://graphics.reuters.com/CLIMATE-CHANGE/gkplglqrqvb/chart.png)
Just 11 coal mining companies and 63 oil and gas producers globally reported data, despite fossil fuels being the chief driver of human-driven emissions. At the other end of the scale, electrical & electronic equipment companies led disclosures, with 1,395.

A bonus is a payment that a business makes over and above the salary or wages that an employee is set to receive. Bonus programs are created at the discretion of the company and often award managers and executives based on the continuing success of the business. Companies withhold taxes from bonuses in different ways than normal payroll. Many tax laws regarding bonuses change from state to state, with the two primary options being a percentage method and an aggregate method.
The percentage method creates a flat fee for taxing the bonus amount as supplemental income. Supplemental income falls under a slightly different income category than normal wages, and the IRS has a flat withholding fee for it that can range based on total income, but is often between 25 and 28 percent of the bonus. This requires the employee to withhold that much for taxes, in addition to common state-based withholding requirements.
The aggregate method does not assume a flat rate for the bonus. Instead, it tries to treat the bonus as much like normal income as possible. The employer may add the bonus payment to the last paycheck in order to automatically use the aggregate method, balancing tax withholding between the bonus paycheck and the latest regular paycheck. Other employers may treat the bonus as an entirely separate payment but still withhold taxes using standard withholding tables, essentially treating it as an additional check.
Based on which legal options employers choose, taxes for the bonuses will be withheld differently. This does not mean that the income from bonuses will be taxed differently: There is a key difference between the amount withheld and the taxes paid. From the perspective of the employee, taxes will remain relatively unchanged. Based on the employee tax bracket, income tax will be calculated and collected. If any of the amount withheld from the bonus goes beyond this collected amount, it will be automatically returned as a refund.
In other cases, employees may actually withhold too little from bonuses. This occurs with the percentage method. Sometimes an employee may receive a bonus large enough that it bumps him into a higher tax bracket. If the employee is taxed for the bonus at 25 percent but actually falls into a 30-percent income tax rate bracket, the employee owes an additional 5 percent in taxes on the bonus amount.

The names of two Japanese climbers missing on Denali's Cassin Ridge were released by the National Park Service last night. Tatsuro Yamada and Yuto Inoue were expected to return from their climb no later than May 22, but since then numerous observation flights have offered few leads on their whereabouts. The NPS continues the search by aircraft and foot.
Yamada and Inoue are Giri-Giri Boys who climbed in the Alaska Range with Katsutaka Yokoyama, Yusuke Sato and Fumitaka Ichimura throughout April 2008. In May the two decided to attempt the Cassin while the other three made the historic enchainment of the Isis Face and the Slovak Direct (read the May 27, 2008 NewsWire for more information).
In early May Yamada and Inoue acclimatized on the West Buttress. They planned to climb the Cassin after first traversing Kahiltna Peak, but for unknown reasons gave up the traverse and repositioned themselves at base camp (7,800') near the mouth of the Northeast Fork of the Kahiltna Glacier. It was here they were last seen on May 9. Journal entries found in base camp suggested an earliest climbing start date of May 10, and Yokoyama said their friends may have started climbing around May 14 or 15. The two planned to take five or six days on route; they carried enough food for that duration.
The search began on May 23, though poor conditions grounded an aerial search until the next morning. Initially cloud cover and high winds—some more than 100 mph above 17,200'—limited fixed-wing and Lama helicopter flights; however, in recent days, better conditions allowed the NPS to sweep large swaths and gather high resolution telephoto images that are being scrutinized for clues. Tracks were found at ca. 16,000', and a possible former tent site was discovered at ca. 17,000'. More information will be posted on Alpinist.com as it becomes available.
I met Tatsuro and Yuto in the Ruth Gorge last year. Really admirable guys. They just kept putting up new route after new route, with hardly a rest day in between. They came up to our camp one day for what we dubbed the Ruth Gorge Olympics. We had a javelin toss with avalanche probes, a relay race with on person dragging another in a sled, and a biathlon with snowballs instead of rifles. They were all smiles, and very humble about their accomplishments. I wish these guys the best of luck getting back to safety. If they have passed, I hope it was in peace.

Anatomy of an own goal: Santiago Vergini
There are some goals which transcend football. The kind which showcase a unique talent and an unmatched level of execution, reminding us of the talent and athleticism required to make it as a top-level footballer. Thanks to Santiago Vergini, these goals don't even have to arrive at the right end of the pitch.
Even by Sunderland's sorry standards, the club's start to the 2014/15 season was pretty underwhelming. If you wanted to put a positive spin on the situation, you could point to the fact that the Black Cats avoided defeat in five of their first six Premier League outings; those who prefer their glass half empty, however, would rightly point out that they also failed to win in that time, while two of their draws were sleep-inducing scoreless stalemates against Burnley and Swansea City.
Gus Poyet's charges looked to have turned a corner in early October, though, when they brushed aside Stoke City 3-1 at the Stadium of Light. That result lifted Sunderland up to 11th in the table after just one defeat in their first seven matches, as the club's fans dared to dream (of a season in which they were not forced to endure another nail-biting relegation battle). As it turned out, any supporters harbouring such a notion were getting ahead of themselves.
On October 18, Sunderland made the long journey down to the south coast to do battle with a Southampton side who had made an unexpectedly strong start to the campaign, amassing 13 points from a possible 21 to sit third in the table. Ronald Koeman would have anticipated a tough encounter against the Black Cats, though; after all, their opponents had conceded only seven goals in their first seven games, including just one in their previous three. Vergini was key to the club's new-found defensive solidity, so much so that he had recently been called up to the Argentina squad by new manager Gerardo Martino.
A fast start would be important, and the Black Cats' defenders couldn't be accused of not making a significant impact in the opening quarter-hour. However, as Vergini slammed a half-volley beyond Vito Mannone in the 12th minute, it became clear this wasn't exactly the impact anyone in the northeast (except those who support Newcastle, perhaps) had in mind.
It was a striker's finish in the purest sense; the sweetest connection you could ever hope for, something which becomes even more baffling when you appreciate Vergini and 'clean contact' never exactly went hand in hand at either end of the pitch.
The Argentine failed to score a single goal at the right end during his 51 games for the club, and indeed his entire professional career has only seen him find the net seven times. And yet, in that moment, facing his own goal, he looked like a natural.
If anything, it was typical of Sunderland's luck for one of their defenders to turn into the world's best finisher when facing his own goal. This is a team whose fans have suffered a lot: they ended up paying several million pounds to not sign Ricky Álvarez, a player who scored once for the Black Cats during a miserable loan spell. They had their record signing go AWOL for several months, presumably because he didn't fancy staying in Sunderland. They spent an entire season with Jozy Altidore as their main striker. Indeed, on the scale of all the dumb things to have happened to the club in the last decade, Vergini's goal only ranks somewhere in the middle.
Want further evidence? Sunderland scored two further own goals in the same game, and that wasn't even the first time they had scored three own goals in the same Premier League match.
Mannone's reaction to the goal might seem confusing in its relative understatedness, but when you give it a second look you can see it through the Italian's eyes and realise there really is no other way to respond. It's the look of a man so stunned by what he has witnessed that his eyes have begun rubbing themselves.
It's a strike which makes no sense for all manner of reasons, and the keeper is mentally holding up a set of scales with 'How?' on one side and 'Why?' on the other, hoping gravity will provide him with an explanation.
Can you really blame Mannone for passing the ball straight to Southampton's Dušan Tadić later in the same game? On the strength of what he witnessed from Vergini, he'd have had every right to feel his goal was safer with the ball at the feet of the opposition.

Floor drains, most people think they are only in commercial stores and restaurants. The truth is, they are in residential homes too. They could be located in laundry rooms, basements bathrooms, garages, patio's driveways, and outside the home. The floor drains duty is take the overflow from sinks, toilets, tubs, rain, roof, gutters etc… and direct the water to a sewer or municipal storm drain and dry wells. Floor drains have a U- shaped P-trap to hold water and that prevents the sewer gases from coming up through the drain. If you smell an odor coming up from the drain it could mean the trap has dried out and you should pour a bucket or more of water down the drain. They can also become clogged with dirt or other debris just like other drains. And Super Rooter can clear that too.

Vigils for Slain Gay Puerto Rican Teen, Jorge Steven Lopez Mercado
Across the country, thousands attended vigils last night to remember the late Jorge Steven Lopez Mercado who was horrifically murderedin Puerto Rico. Last weekend the dismembered, ecapitated, and partially burned body of the 19-year-old gay teen by the side of a road near Cayey, Puerto Rico. The police investigator initially suggested that young Mercado deserved his fate because of the "lifestyle" he was leading. Juan Martinez Matos has been charged with first-degree murder in connection with Mercado's killing. Since anti-gay hate crimes are rarely prosecuted in Puerto Rico, there is considerable pressure on the Justice Department to prosecute the case under the recently passed federal hate crimes law.
The images above via Windy City Times from the Chicago vigil. It began with a peace walk at the corner of Division and California, and ended with a candlelight vigil in Humboldt Park Boat House. About two hundred people showed up, including several local aldermen and the city's major Latino LGBT activists. The weather was decent and it was great to see many young people participating.
Meanwhile in New York City: An estimated 2,000 braved the chilly weather to gather at the Christopher Street Pier to honor the memory of murdered gay teen. Council Speaker Christine Quinn, GLAAD President Jarrett Barrios, openly gay Council member-elect Danny Dromm and Project Runway fashion designer Malan Breton spoke to the crowd. The New York City photos are via JoeMyGod.
There were 20 nationwide events. Some attending the rallies also carried signs remembering Jason Mattison, who was killed in Baltimore the same week that Mercado was slain in Puerto Rico.

Q: Why don't web browsers have built in validators? As far as I know there is no web browser with built in validators for HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Developing web pages without validation is like using a compiler that doesn't do syntax analysis. Even Firefox with its excellent plugins aimed at developers like Firebug lacks plugins for CSS and JavaScript validation. Wouldn't it be useful to have these plugins? Am I missing something?

A: Web browsers are made for viewing things. The main use of browser is to render a page, even if the code is not valid (like, using "quirks" mode et cetera).
Having a validator built into that is fine for developers, but absolutely unnecessary for users.

A: Actually, now that you ask, I think a validator should really belong to a web browser. A browser is though an end-user tool for content delivery, it is as much a first tool in a developer's workshop.
Yep, I agree, validators for (X)HTML and CSS should be there. Since a browser is doing this checking anyway, at least, for itself, internally, there is no reason why it couldn't display the validation output.

A: There is a HTML Validator extension for Firefox.

A: You are probably missing the point that most users of a browser are not developers and have no interest in validation.
Web browsers are complicated beasts and are used for many different types of applications. A web browser developer has to think hard and long before adding any feature to their browser - a feature that will break most web pages for most people will kill a browser fairly quickly ;)

A: Worth noting that if you use application/xhtml+xml as your MIME type, Firefox will perform a well-formedness check at least.

A: Internet Explorer 8 has a built in links to the W3C validators: press F12 and the select Validate menu.
Multiple Firefox extensions (including Web Developer Tools) have similar functions.

A: Opera has a "validate" option too. However, like in IE8, this is done via the W3C validator.

Industrial Union places embargo on Lapwall
Helsinki (21.03.2019 - Heikki Jokinen) The Industrial Union has declared an unusual embargo on the Lapwall company. The reasons for this have their roots in the strike action that occurred last October.
The embargo is a legal measure which can be used when a company does not belong to the employers' association. If necessary, a union can recommend to its members not to apply for jobs in a particular company. The purpose is to get the company to the negotiation table and reach a deal on disputed issues.
The employment office must inform jobseekers about the industrial dispute, and they are not allowed to break the embargo by guiding jobseekers in the company. An unemployed jobseeker has a legal right to refuse a job in a company under embargo.
Lapwall has three factories in Finland producing prefabricated wooden wall, floor and roof elements. It also has a subsidiary in Sweden.
The Industrial Union claims that Lapwall is discriminating against some of its employees on the grounds of union activity. According to the Union a 500 euro company bonus is paid to employees who leave the union, do not participate in strikes or do not put in for sick leave during the year.
The company criteria for bonuses are clearly contrary to Finnish law, the union says. It is illegal to discriminate against anyone on health grounds or participation in trade union activities.
The generally binding collective agreement stipulates that a company collect trade union membership dues and pay these directly to the union. Lapwall refuse to do that. It announced, too, that it will voluntarily pay the employees' fee to the private unemployment fund YTK, but not to the Industrial Union fund.
There have been problems with the unorganised Lapwall before, too, but these came to a head during the political strikes in October 2018. According to the union, the company promised back then 500 euro to anyone who quit the Union and to pay 50 per cent more to those who would work during the strike.
Lapwall major owner and CEO Jarmo Pekkarinen denies the union's claims. He went on to say in an interview with the Taloussanomat newspaper, that availing of more rental labour in the future is an option for him. One of his factories employs only rental labour "and there are none of these kinds of problems", Pekkarinen says.
The Industrial Union is ready to negotiate with the company, but thus far it has not shown no willingness to do that. This might lead to the union taking Lapwall to court.
Seppo Koskinen, professor in Labour Law speaking to Taloussanomat reminds us about the Supreme Court judgement in 2016 which ruled that a bonus cannot be denied to anyone who takes part in a legal industrial dispute.

Marvel drops the trailer for WandaVision
WandaVision will be the first series to kick off Marvel's TV projects on the Disney+ platform. The trailer might be bonkers but we have some understanding as to how the story will unfold.
Sep 22, 2020 Words By Wayne Cheong
There was a lot of buzz about Marvel's Phase Four. The Black Widow movie was set to begin Phase Four in May this year but due to the damnable pandemic, the film (along with many others) is postponed to a November release. But even that release date isn't set in stone.
But what's certain are the TV series premiering on the Disney+ platform; the first to air being WandaVision and judging by the trailer, there's a lot to take in. It has Wanda Maximoff (played by Elizabeth Olsen) and the Vision (Paul Bettany) and they appear to be living in a suburban fantasy but it is not what it appears to be.
But while the trailer might not give up much by way of a plot, we managed to tease out a few pieces of information about WandaVision.
The series is inspired by Tom King's The Vision
Comic book writer and Eisner winner, Tom King, said that his run on the Vision was an inspiration for the TV series. King's 12-issues focused on the Avengers android living with his own artificial family in the suburbs. While Wanda aka Scarlet Witch didn't factor much in the comic book storyline, she has a prominent presence in the TV series.
Vision is alive
The Vision died at the hands of Thanos back in Avengers: Infinity War so how is he still alive? One of the theories is that Wanda's reality-altering power has something to do with his living status but is there dire repercussions in bringing someone back from the dead and constructing a fictional world to live out the rest of your days? Does this impact the TV series tie-in with the Doctor Strange sequel?
Old faces, new faces
Jimmy Woo (Randall Park) returns. The FBI agent was last seen in Ant-Man and the Wasp. In the comic books, Jimmy is a spy on the level of James Bond. Darcy Lewis (Kat Dennings) returns as well, whose last appearance was in Thor: the Dark World.
Monica Rambeau (Teyonah Parris) does appear briefly in the trailer. If the surname sounds familiar, it's because she's actually the daughter of Maria Rambeau, Carol Danvers' (aka Captain Marvel) pilot buddy. In the Captain Marvel film, we saw the younger version of Monica but it looks like she's all grown up and also in a superhero outfit, which means that, if we're following the comic book, Maria has the superpower of transforming herself into any form of energy within the electromagnetic spectrum.
Agatha Harkness
There are speculations about Kathryn Hahn's role in WandaVision. While her character's name is Agnes, some are betting that Hahn is playing Agatha Harkness, a powerful witch who mentors Wanda Maximoff in the comic book.
If this is true, it would make sense as viewers will be introduced to the comic book name, 'Scarlet Witch'.
WandaVision will launch in Deccember on the Disney+ platform.

The Department of Science and Technology (abbreviated as DOST; Filipino: Kagawaran ng Agham at Teknolohiya), is the executive department of the Philippine government responsible for the coordination of science and technology-related projects in the Philippines and to formulate policies and projects in the fields of science and technology in support of national development.
The DOST was formed as the National Science Development Board on June 13, 1958, during the administration of President Carlos P. Garcia.[2] The science body was formed as a result of a law passed in the Congress upon the recommendation of Dr. Frank Co Tui, who was tasked by Garcia to conduct a survey regarding the state of science and technology in the country. It was reorganized as the National Science and Technology Authority (NSTA) on March 17, 1981, and was given broader policy-making and program implementing functions.[3][4]
On January 30, 1987, during the administration of President Corazon Aquino, the NSTA was elevated to cabinet-level status with the signing of Executive Order 128, and was renamed as the Department of Science and Technology.[4][5]

Transcript of From Our Founder
Trip (Co-Founder and CEO): Scribd's vision is to change that the way the world reads. We launched Scribd as a simple way to publish any kind of written content on the web. The initial idea was inspired by my dad having a medical paper. He's a doctor and he had a medical paper he wanted to publish, so we decided to build Scribd to help him publish his paper mor easily; because it used to take eighteen months to publish a medical paper. We started with user-contributed content and then we partnered with all the big publishers to add e-Books, and then we added audiobooks, and then we added magazines, newspapers. We even have sheet music in service. One thing I'm proud of is we're really providing a great, new business model and distribution model for publishers and authors. Reading has been one of the most important forms of communication for thousands of years, really. It's a really important way that people communicate deep, important thoughts and the way people learn and use their minds. In this current social media era, everyone is looking at really short-form content, and video and snaps and all that, and I think it's more important than ever that reading stays alive. Hopefully, Scribd is keeping reading alive in the twenty-first century.

"I believe that Luhmann is the only true genius in the social sciences alive today. By this, I mean that not only is he smart, extremely productive, and amazingly erudite, though all this is true enough, but also that he has, in the course of an improbable career, elaborated a theory of the social that completely reinvents sociology and destroys its most cherished dogmas." So wrote Stephen Fuchs in his Contemporary Sociology review of Luhmann's major theoretical work, Social Systems (Stanford, 1995). In this volume, Luhmann analyzes the evolution of love in Western Europe from the seventeenth century to the present.


A Clinical Crossroads review article in the May 8 issue of JAMAdiscusses the potential benefits and risks for pregnant women who request cesarean delivery without an indication of need rather than proceeding with a plan for vaginal delivery.
Jeffrey Ecker, M.D., from Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, is the author of the article that examines this issue of cesarean delivery on maternal request (CDMR). Dr. Ecker writes the term "refers to cesarean delivery performed without maternal or fetal indication; i.e., with no expectation of improving the physical health of the mother or neonate." Dr. Ecker notes that available data indicate that CDMR occurs in less than three percent of all deliveries in the United States.
"Reasons for considering CDMR include fear of specific elements of labor and concern for fetal or maternal morbidities attributable to vaginal delivery," Dr. Ecker writes. "Compared with a plan for vaginal delivery, CDMR may be associated with lower rates of hemorrhage, maternal incontinence, and rate but serious neonatal outcomes. However, CDMR is associated with a higher risk of neonatal respiratory morbidity." And Dr. Ecker writes that repeated caesarean deliveries have higher rates of operative complications and placental abnormalities.


1. The state or quality of being efficient.
2. Accomplishment of or ability to accomplish a job with a minimum expenditure of time and effort.
The ratio of the useful energy delivered by a dynamic system to the energy supplied to it.
Does it still seem simple enough?
Perhaps not, but it is a word that we hear every day in our businesses and impress upon our employees that they need to be efficient.
How do you know if you are efficient within your company?
If you think you are efficient because your revenue is good, you may be mistaken. It's definitely a benefit if you have good revenue, but you may still have inefficiencies which are hindering an even larger revenue potential.
If you are struggling to hit your revenue goals, then this is a telltale sign that you can be more efficient in your operations.
As a business operates we need to look at our efficiencies on a daily basis to measure our successes.
Take some time to review your current software, reports, processes, cross-department communications and workflows to see if they still make sense in your business. You may quickly find out where you can redefine your business to become more efficient.

Colliding galaxies
Related topics & concepts
+ Create new collection
The 100 billion galaxies in the universe are not just scattered randomly in space. Most galaxies are arranged in small groups or larger clusters.
What is a galaxy cluster?
Galaxy clusters are the largest structures in the universe that are held together by gravity.
A single galaxy has millions or billions of stars, with clouds of dust and gas, all held together by gravity. A galaxy cluster is a large group of between 200 and 1000 galaxies, attracted together by the gravity of a huge central galaxy. Not all galaxies are part of galaxy clusters – our own Milky Way is part of a smaller local group of galaxies.
Studying galaxy clusters
You'd think it would be easy to study the largest structures in the universe. Dr Melanie Johnston-Hollitt at Victoria University of Wellington says just because galaxy clusters are big doesn't mean they are easy to see – they are very old, very far away and very faint.
Melanie uses telescopes to look at different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum coming from galaxies and galaxy clusters. She is very interested in radio waves and X-rays, as well as visible light.
To see the visible light from galaxies, Melanie uses the largest optical telescope in Australia, the 3.9 m Anglo-Australian Telescope. This lets her find the galaxies, but what she really wants to know is what's going on between the galaxies. Knowing this will let Melanie explore processes of galaxy cluster evolution. To do this, Melanie collects data using a radio telescope in Australia (the Australia Telescope Compact Array) and an X-ray observatory in orbit around Earth (the XMM-Newton, run by the European Space Agency). Fortunately, Melanie doesn't have to travel to these locations to use the equipment – she controls them from her office computer in Wellington.
The images that Melanie has collected from galaxy clusters have revealed some surprises.
One galaxy cluster that Melanie has studied is called Abell 3667, which has about 500 galaxies. The giant galaxy that pulls the cluster together is in the middle of a cloud of very hot gas (10 million degrees Kelvin), which emits X-rays.
Radio waves revealed shock waves 6 million light years across spreading out through the hot gas between galaxies. This was rare evidence of two galaxy clusters colliding. Imagine the huge amounts of energy released when two of the largest structures in the universe collide
I need a bigger telescope!
Astronomers know of many galaxy clusters that have collided, but few of the collisions seem to have emitted the radio waves that Melanie measured. This could be because the radio waves are so faint that our instruments don't pick them up – it took Melanie 108 hours to collect the data for only one image. Melanie would like a more powerful radio telescope so that she, and astronomers like her, can see these faint objects in more detail. The data Melanie provides is used to build models of the evolution of the universe, so more accurate data will mean more reliable models.
The Square Kilometre Array
Melanie's wish for a more powerful radio telescope will soon be answered. If you think of the dish of a radio telescope as a bucket for collecting radio waves, what is needed is a bigger bucket. The Australian radio telescope Melanie uses at the moment has six 22 m wide dishes, with a combined collecting bucket of 2,500 square metres. Seventeen countries have got together to build a group of up to 4,400 radio telescopes that will give a combined bucket of 1 square kilometre – that's 1 million square metres. By using lots of small telescopes together, we can simulate a continent-sized radio telescope with 10,000 times more accuracy than the largest single radio telescope that can be built.
The Square Kilometre Array will be co-hosted in South Africa's Karoo region and Western Australia's Murchison Shire. The are 14 member countries comprising the cornerstone of the SKA and around 100 organisations across about 20 countries participating in the design and development of the SKA.

Exploring with telescopes uses an interactive and an online or paper-based quiz to teach about different types of telescopes and the types of space objects they are best suited to view.
In Hunt the planet, students plot graphs of light measurements from stars, searching for dimming that indicates the presence of a planet, and calculate its size.

The son of Peter[2] and Carole, Slater was born in the New South Wales rural city Wagga Wagga after his parents and two elder siblings (Julian and Tracey) had emigrated from the north-eastern coast of England in 1966. They originally migrated to Launceston, Australia by boat, after deciding against moving to Canada. In Launceston, Slater's father taught agriculture and science at high school, as he had done since graduating from college. After three years in Launceston, the Slaters moved to Junee then Wagga Wagga, and Peter became a lecturer in agriculture at what is now known as the Charles Sturt University.[3] Slater lived in Junee for some of his life Wagga Wagga for his entire childhood, eventually leaving with only fond memories. He later wrote: "Wagga Wagga was a great place to grow up, for many reasons. It was a good size – it had a population of around 50,000 when we moved there – and it was in the country, with a great Australian climate. My family was always involved in sport, so from an early age it just seemed natural for me to play any game that was on offer."[4]
When still in primary school at junee and aged 11, Slater was selected in the New South Wales Primary School Sports Association cricket and hockey teams, something he described as "a very big thing" and "totally unexpected". A left-inner (an attacking player who helps out defensively), he also made the state hockey team at Under–12 level in 1981, before going on to later be selected in the Under–13, −15 and −17 teams.[5] Slater's mother unexpectedly left the family in 1983, when Michael was just 12 years old. He later wrote about the tough personal times that followed.
After his mother left for good, Slater's education standards slipped, with sport becoming the "only thing [he] could focus on properly". School bullying accentuated his academic difficulties in Years 9 and 10, and he once ran home after it was suggested among fellow pupils that some bullies "were planning to get [him] after school".[6] As cricket and hockey began to overlap in his early teenage years, Slater slowly turned the majority of his sporting appetite towards cricket. He joined an inner-western Sydney Under–16 side over the Christmas holidays. Despite not being fond of Sydney, Slater knew that he would have to move to the metropolis if he wanted to further develop his cricketing career. After topping the batting averages in the Under–17s in the following season, Slater was subsequently chosen as captain for the New South Wales Under—16 team. The carnival was not a personal success for the captain; however, he recalls that his team performed "well".[7]
An accident at school when he was seventeen saw Slater hurt his Achilles tendon. He played a couple of hockey games following the accident, but had to limp off the field and have consequent surgery in the lead-up to the Under–17 national cricket carnival. Soon after, Slater was informed that, because of his injury, his "dream of playing cricket for Australia was over".[8] After an operation, though, he surprisingly returned to cricket and was selected in the Under–19 state team for the national championships in Brisbane. After an injury to the captain, Slater once again captained his state, although he and his team under-performed.[9] He returned as vice-captain the following year for the Under–19 carnival in Canberra, and scored a century in the opening match. In a victorious final against Victoria, Slater scored another century, becoming one of the leading run-scorers in the series.[10]
Cricket careerEdit
A specialist right-handed batsman as well as a very occasional bowler, Slater represented the New South Wales Blues in Australian domestic cricket and played English county cricket with Derbyshire. His Australian club was the University of NSW Cricket Club playing first grade scoring 3873 runs in 77 innings with a high score of 213*.
Generally known for his swashbuckling style of play and front-foot pulls, Slater went on to open the batting with success in Test cricket, scoring 5,312 runs and 14 centuries at an average of 42; however he was less successful in his One Day International career, averaging a lowly 24.07.
Throughout his career, Slater was infamous for his susceptibility to the "nervous nineties": he was dismissed in the nineties 9 out of the 23 times.[11]
He was a product of the AIS Australian Cricket Academy (1989) before appearing for New South Wales in the 1991/92 Sheffield Shield season. He made quick progress to the Australian Test team, and was selected for the Ashes tour of England in 1993, when he was just 23 years of age, narrowly beating Queenslander Matthew Hayden to the opening berth alongside Mark Taylor, who also grew up in Wagga Wagga. In his debut match, he scored a half-century, before compiling his maiden century in the following Test at Lord's. He continued his good form into the subsequent home series against New Zealand in 1993–94, netting 305 runs at an average of 76.25. In the 1994–95 return Ashes series in Australia, the right-hander was the leading run-scorer in the series with 623. The following season saw Slater notch his first double-century, against Sri Lanka at the WACA in Perth.
Slater's matchwinning 123 against England at Sydney in the 1998–99 Ashes series comprised 66.84 per cent of his team's entire total. This remains the greatest proportion since Charles Bannerman made 165 not out in the very first test innings of all, which was 67.34 per cent of his team's total.[12]

Feasting with Panthers is the sixteenth solo studio album by the British singer/songwriter Marc Almond.  The album is credited to Almond and Michael Cashmore, of Current 93 and Nature and Organisation, with both given equal billing. The album was released by Strike Force Entertainment, part of Cherry Red Records, on 30 May 2011.

Background

Marc Almond first worked with Michael Cashmore when Almond contributed guest vocals to the Current 93 album Black Ships Ate the Sky. They next collaborated as Marc Almond & Michael Cashmore for the EP Gabriel and the Lunatic Lover in 2008 and continued to occasionally work together until they completed Feasting with Panthers. The album is entirely composed of poetry set to music and was produced with both artists separate at all times with music and vocals being sent back and forth. The Guardian describes the album as "a sumptuous piano-driven collaboration with Michael Cashmore, featuring songs derived from the poetry of Jean Cocteau, Gérard de Nerval and Jean Genet", which Almond in the same article calls "decadent poetry translated by Jeremy Reed".

The album was released as a gatefold digipak which included a 14-page booklet.

Critical reception

Feasting with Panthers received mixed reviews from critics. Jon O'Brien in the Record Collector magazine states that it is an album of "tales of young boys and dark pleasure" but calls it "a sumptuous banquet". Ian Shirley in his AllMusic review states that Feasting with Panthers "is just too one-note to be considered as anything other than highbrow background music" but concedes that "Almond is in fine form, toning down his sometimes theatrical tendencies in favor of a more restrained vocal style".

Quick Answer: What Is Te In Football?
by Randolph Stafford
The tight end (TE) is a position in American football, arena football, and Canadian football, on the offense. The tight end is often a hybrid position with the characteristics and roles of both an offensive lineman and a wide receiver.

13 What is the role of tight end in football?
What does te mean in football?
Definition of tight end: an offensive football end who lines up close to the tackle and can act as a lineman or receiver.
Why is it called a tight end?
Tight ends get their name from where they line up at the start of a play. They are the closest offensive player horizontally on the field to the offensive line. They are close (tight) to the end of that line, but how tightly they line up varies depending on the play.
What makes a good tight end?
The best tight ends aren't just tall and long, but they have bulk and strength to go with that, enough weight to be a factor blocking at the line against linebackers and defensive linemen, making them more than a match for defensive backs and forcing teams into a matchup dilemma.
You might be interested: Often asked: What Do Football Players Wear Under Their Uniform?
How many TE is a field?
Tight End. Of the seven players lined up on the line of scrimmage, only the ones on the ends of the line are allowed to run downfield and receive a pass. The tight end (TE) needs to have the power to block as well the finesse to run downfield and catch the football.
What is the hardest position in football?
The hardest position in the NFL team is the cornerback. At the same time, it is also one of the most difficult positions in other sports. The great athletes who play for cornerbacks are usually minor in stature.
What is the difference between WR and TE?
Wide Receivers (WR) – Wide receivers, for the most part, are known as pass catchers. Tight End (TE) – This player is a hybrid between a receiver and an offensive lineman. Generally, he lines up next to the LT or RT or he can "split out" like a wide receiver.
What is the smartest position in football?
Centers play an integral part of the offensive line and act as the primary protector of the quarterback after the snap. The center is often referred to as "the smartest person on the field next to the quarterback", in the sense that the center acts as the line's "mind".
Who guards the tight end?
The strong safety (SS) is usually the larger and stronger of the two, providing extra protection against run plays by standing closer to the line of scrimmage, usually on the strong (tight end) side of the field.
You might be interested: Readers ask: What Is A False Start In Football?
What's the best position in football?
1: Quarterback. There's no doubt what the most important position on the field is: quarterback. Only the quarterback touches the ball on every offensive snap, and only the quarterback is the triggerman for the passing game. No other player can do more to win—or lose—a professional football game.
What's the easiest position in football?
Receiver: 1 The easiest position on offense may be the receiver. He has limited responsibility and most plays may have nothing to do with him at all.
What makes a good TE?
Besides height, tight ends need to be big-bodied and strong enough to take the pounding they will when they're blocking. Tight ends are often asked to block some of the more athletic and strong defenders on the field — defensive ends and outside linebackers. They need size and strength to be able to do this.
How important is tight end in football?
The tight end position in football is one of the most important positions in the modern-day offense. They are required to have a unique skill set that is a combination of multiple players. Tight ends in football are required to block for the running backs and catch passes from the quarterback.
What is the role of tight end in football?
In the National Football League (NFL), the tight end is larger and slower than a wide receiver, and therefore able to block more effectively. It is the job of the tight end, along with the fullback, to open up a hole in the defense for the tailback to run through.

Cut after Giants drafted Sam Beal, Kenneth Durden got his roster spot back and wants to keep it
Giants defensive back Kenneth Durden speaks to the media during training camp on Aug 1, 2018. Photo Credit: Brad Penner
By Tom Rock tom.rock@newsday.com August 1, 2018 2:21 PM
Kenneth Durden was ready for training camp with the Giants.
"It was like a week before the camp, I'm getting ready, out in Arizona training, had the plane ticket, had the playbook, learning the plays, getting packed, and I get that phone call," the cornerback told Newsday on Wednesday. "Dang."
It was the call that told him there had been a change in plans. Durden was being waived. The Giants had selected Sam Beal in the third round of the supplemental draft over the summer and needed a roster spot for the rookie. That meant Durden had to go.
The move blindsided Durden, not just because of the suddenness of the roster decision – he's been in the NFL since 2016, on the practice squads with the Raiders and Titans, and knows the ways of the business -- but because he, like many others, wasn't expecting the Giants to make a pick in the supplemental draft.
"I totally forgot about it," he said.
When the Giants parted ways with him, they told him to stay ready in case something happened. It did. Before the first team practice, Beal injured his shoulder and last week he was placed on injured reserve to undergo season-ending surgery. That opened the roster spot back up, and the Giants brought Durden back to fill it.
Now, his aim is to never again let go of it.
"It's motivating to me," he said of the experience. "It's personal now. Now I have to go out there and I have something to prove. I have to go out there and do what I'm supposed to do, make the plays, be in the right place, whatever the coaches want me to do."

In his two practices since returning, Durden has certainly flashed. His first workout back with the team was on Sunday and he broke up a pair of passes. "Straight off the plane, three hours of sleep," he said. "I was just excited to be back."
The following day he had a diving interception in one-on-one drills and broke up a few more passes in team reps.
"He has flashed," Pat Shurmur said. "He's gotten his hands on a couple of balls. He was out there competing. We like what we've seen so far."
So why did they let him go in the first place?
"Unfortunately, sometimes when you are shaping up the roster a guy may be let go and it's less about him and more about what you are trying to do," Shurmur said. "We liked him all the way and now he's back with us."
The experience served as a bit of a wake-up for Durden as well. Players often go through training camp unsure where they stand in the eyes of the team and the coaches. Now Durden knows. He's the last man on the roster when it comes to the cornerbacks. He's the one closest to the edge. If somebody has to go, Durden knows who that will be.
"I feel like it's all or nothing for me right now," he said. "Coming back, my mentality is that I can't get released this time. I have to do what I'm supposed to do. I gotta be here. I gotta go out there and make plays. I gotta make an impression the first day. Gotta do it. I gotta make the plays."
Asked what he wants from this second lease on life as a Giant, Durden gave a simple answer.
"Everything," he said. "I want to get everything. I want to make sure I prepare myself and just go out there and do great things and help this team."

looking forward to supporting the amazing Vera Sola 🧚♀ at The Lexington on 24 April 💗 thanks rockfeedback for having us back!
i've started a new instagram (yes, another one…) called @honeydreamlover where i'm documenting not just the process but the inspiration (visual and otherwise) that's going into this new EP. mostly just to have something to look back on but also to have something semi-coherent to refer to during the production.
work really has properly "begun" on the EP, as i've been posting about the last couple of weeks. it has a darker tone, i think, than most of moonlight did. with what we have so far, the closest moonlight song would be bleed honey. but we're not even half-way finished yet so that could change. but i really enjoy exploring the darker side of things lyrically. i feel like beyond bleed honey, moonlight said all i needed to say, at that point, i couldn't have taken those other three songs any further.
and for that reason i'm really really glad that NME picked bleed honey as their key track because i feel like it's the most representative "taste of things to come" that i've put out so far. once the EP is finished, i might feel different and the overall tone might be much lighter and dreamier, but i'll be surprised (that's why I like documenting things in blogs so that i can refer back to them).
i was thinking also about aphrodite, which is nearly at 10k streams on spotify in probably about a month. that's insane for me, that's probably the quickest a song has reached that since heaven california came out last april. so in a sense, i hope that anyone who's new to the music and discovers that song, will enjoy the lighter side of what i've put out (i'm thinking, moonlight) but will also be able to appreciate the darker tones that are coming. idk. i really feel like i scratched a creative itch w that song and although i'd like to continue tentatively exploring that sound, i don't feel the need to put out a whole EP that sounds like "aphrodite" (yet! u never know, that might change in the future).
i accidentally used the word "generic" when i was talking about aphrodite in a recent interview. and on reflection that wasn't really what i meant. i don't think aphrodite sounded like a carbon copy of everything else out there (and if it did, kinda who cares?) but i meant, generic for me… from a production point of view it sounded almost like a regression back to my very very early releases. it was nostalgic for me and kind of a development of my old sound, but very much reminded me why i moved away from it in the first place. towards the very end of 2018 i shared an old track i had recorded back in 2016 called "in the light", and there is quite a similarity between aphrodite and in the light even though they are almost two years apart. there seems to be something within me as a writer that produces material about that, but she seems unchanging, and it's the changing girl that i like.
having so much fun tracking the demos for the next EP! can't wait to share it!
thank u so much to everyone who came out to catch our set at the sebright arms in support of tanukichan! thank u to dan and elodie at rockfeedback for booking us and the sebright arms for having us; thank u jasleen and sophia for the pics and videos; thank u everyone who tuned in to the livestream on IG!
it was a total dream and so delightful to share new song 'dreamlover' to such a positive reception – can't wait to share it and the rest of the EP.
hey everyone, 2019 is off to a great start. working on the new EP right now! looking forward to expanding and diving into the sounds that we hinted to on Moonlight. really can't wait to share the first single.
i also had an awesome chat w ben from slanted press who wrote an amazing write-up – check that out over here. it got deep. i managed to mention marilyn manson at least twice.
EP2 is on its way!
