Our homes have a direct affect on the type of activities and spatial relationship we have as a family within its walls. The tips below will encourage you to ask specific questions and provide you with points to consider in order to uncover the specific needs of your own family.
Write down your personal brief for the house. Base this on your current everyday activities as well as new ones you see yourself engaging in the new house.
Do you like cooking together or is dining together the main social time?
Does anyone play a musical instrument and where would you like this to happen in relation to the other family members?
Would you like to be able to supervise or help your children while they do their homework?
What kind of activities are the ones that you define as quality family time?
Do you picture playtime with your children on the kitchen table or on the rug by the fireplace?
Where would you like your children to play? Do you have many large toys?
Where should messy play happen?
Asking these questions will help you consider the specific actions and decide where you would store your children's toys and arts and crafts supplies in a way which is both easily accessible to them, and can be kept out of sight when needed. These design nuances can lead to you getting some well-deserved child-free time in the evenings.
Once you start visualising your family's specific routines in the new house, you will be surprised at the design ideas which will emerge, and how personal they are to your lifestyle.
Parents of young children know that when it's finally quiet for more than three minutes, it probably means upstairs your child might be testing how well a fork fits into their bedroom socket…..or if your mobile phone can actually float [Trust me, it can't].
A young child requires constant attention, yet at the same time you may not wish to spend the next few years sitting in your child's bedroom watching over their every move. The solution to this might be a designated play area, carefully integrated within the main family space. This will allow independent play while being visually supervised.
Spend time researching safety and security features for children and verify these have been considered by your design professional. It is often the case that young parents are naturally tuned to the small but important details which may have been overlooked.
Safety locks and window restrictors.
Toy and other storage spaces used by children are safely and easily accessible as well as operable.
If careful consideration has been applied, when it is time to move in you can feel reassured that the environment you have created for your family is safe, fun engaging.
Designing your home for the future – Consider your family dynamic in a decade.
Most people see the house they plan to work on as their main family home for many years to come. A large architectural project is one which you are unlikely to repeat in the coming decade.
The Lego and dollhouses will most likely make way for desks, sports equipment and drum kits. The nursery turns into a teenage bedroom, which you may not anymore wish is too close to your own bedroom.
Considering the dynamics of the house in relation to your changing family and how rooms can be re-designated in a few years time is a vital consideration.
The design of your home fundamentally affects everyday activities. As the client you can help in making sure that throughout the process the particular requirements and aspirations of your family are kept in mind and reflected successfully in the final design of your family home.

Lumbar spine abnormalities and facet joint angles in asymptomatic elite junior tennis players
posted on 15.12.2020, 02:47 by Molly ConnollyMolly Connolly, AH Rotstein, J Roebert, R Grabinski, F Malara, T O'Shea, T Wood, M Omizzolo, S Kovalchik, M Reid
© 2020, The Author(s). Background: Lumbar spine abnormalities, in particular stress fractures to the pars interarticularis, are common in elite junior tennis players, though the difference in prevalence between males and females remains unclear. Further, facet joint orientation appears to be a possible option for recognizing which players might go on to present with a pars stress fracture. Given the link between pars stress fractures and low back pain in tennis players, it appears logical to explore the link between facet joint angle and pars abnormalities. Thus, the purpose of this study was to describe the prevalence of lumbar spine abnormalities and explore the relationship between facet joint orientation and pars abnormalities in elite adolescent tennis players. Methodology: Lumbar spine MRI images of 25 elite junior tennis players were obtained and distributed between five radiologists for analysis. Descriptive comparisons and confidence intervals were used to describe the prevalence of the abnormalities. A generalized linear regression model was conducted to investigate the relationship between lumbar pars abnormalities and lumbar facet joint angles. Results: Sixteen (64%) of 25 players were found to have at least one lumbar spine abnormality. Pars abnormalities affected 36% of players while bone marrow edema was found in 24% of players. Disc herniation, disc degeneration, and facet joint degeneration were diagnosed in 20%, 44%, and 24% of players respectively. Lastly, one player (4%) was diagnosed with spondylolisthesis. Females had significantly larger facet joint angles across L3/4 L5/S1 compared to males (p < 0.01). Further, those who had pars abnormalities had larger facet joint angles compared to those who did not (p < 0.001). Conclusion: Disc degeneration, pars abnormalities, including bone marrow edema, and facet joint degeneration were common findings among elite adolescent tennis players. Additionally, this study is the first to discover that pars abnormalities are linked to facet joint angle in elite adolescent tennis players. This finding might assist in identifying tennis players at a greater risk of developing lumbar spine pars abnormalities in the future.

Building a highly accurate robot is not trivial yet we can perform fine positioning tasks like threading a needle using hand-eye coordination. For a robot we call this visual servoing.
Visual servoing is concerned with the motion of points in the world. How can we reliably detect such points using computer vision techniques.
It is common to think about an assembly task being specified in terms of coordinates in the 3D world. An alternative approach is to consider the task in terms of the relative position of objects in one or more views of the task — visual servoing.

Bamber and Vanthoor second at Laguna Seca
| Photographer Credit: Porsche AG
The Porsche GT Team has secured another podium result at the penultimate race of the IMSA SportsCar Championship season. After a gripping race at Laguna Seca, Earl Bamber (NZL) and Laurens Vanthoor (B) crossed the finish line in second. The pair in the No. 912 Porsche 911 RSR was just 2.488-seconds off claiming the second win of the year. Their team colleagues Nick Tandy (GB) and Patrick Pilet (F) had to park their 911 RSR early after becoming entangled in another competitor's accident. In the GTD class, works driver Jörg Bergmeister (Germany) and Patrick Lindsey (USA) clinched second.
"That was a tough job," commented Bamber. "After my early pit stop the main focus was to save fuel. But we also couldn't afford to slow the pace – it worked well. Laurens's long stint was sensational. Second place is the well-deserved reward for great teamwork, great decisions and clean drives. I'm really sorry about our sister car. The important thing is that nothing happened to Nick in the accident."
The race over two hours and 40 minutes was marked by different strategies and many caution phases. At an early safety car phase, the Porsche GT Team called Bamber into the pits. As a result, the New Zealander moved into the lead shortly before halftime. After handing the 510 hp 911 RSR off to his teammate Vanthoor, the race turned into a real thriller. The Belgian had to stay out on the track for an hour and 17 minutes on a tank of fuel and one set of tyres – a big ask faced with the tough competition in the GTLM category. Putting in a focussed and flawless drive as well as a clever use of fuel, the Belgian brought the vehicle home in second place.
For the sister car, the race was over before it had really started. In the chaos of the start, Tandy was unable to avoid a damaged prototype. In a front-on collision, the 911 RSR with the number 911 was damaged so badly that it could not continue.
The Porsche customer team Park Place Motorsports celebrated a podium finish in the dunes of California. Works driver Bergmeister successfully fended of repeated attacks from his rivals in the final phase. The German used his vast experience to bring the 500 hp Porsche 911 RSR with the number 73 safely across the finish line in second place. Factory driver Patrick Long (USA) and Porsche Selected Driver Christina Nielsen (DK) concluded the race on eleventh.
Many Porsche works drivers and racing legends will return to the Laguna Seca Raceway in three weeks to celebrate the Porsche Rennsport Reunion in California from 27 to 30 September, 2018. The world's largest event for Porsche enthusiasts and connoisseurs of historic race cars will be held for the sixth time. The 2018 season of the IMSA SportsCar Championship will conclude with the round at Road Atlanta (10 to 13 October) in the US state of Georgia. The race, which is dubbed "Petit Le Mans", is contested over ten hours.

ITRI Introduces Sports and Fitness Innovations at CES 2023, Business News
Posted by: admin Categories: SPORTS & ATHLETICS
Comments Off on ITRI Introduces Sports and Fitness Innovations at CES 2023, Business News
Technologies include iSportWeaR for exercise health monitoring and the Digital Twin for Sport Guidance with Vital Sign Sensing for indoor bike and flywheel training
LAS VEGAS, Jan. 3, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI), Taiwan's largest and one of the world's leading high-tech applied research institutions, today announced it will introduce sports and fitness technologies at its CES 2023 booth 9855, North Hall, LVCC and its virtual event site (event.itri.org/CES2023). ITRI also will exhibit its innovations in sports and fitness at CES Unveiled Las Vegas, booth 213, Level 2, Shoreline Exhibit Hall, Mandalay Bay Convention Center.
iSportWeaR and Digital Twin for Sport Guidance with Vital Sign Sensing are ITRI's highlights in sports and fitness at CES 2023.
ITRI's sports and fitness highlight technologies include iSportWeaR, a wearable device that monitors physiological data and provides health analysis and management during exercise; and the Digital Twin for Sport Guidance with Vital Sign Sensing, the world's first virtual coach for indoor bike and flywheel training using contactless detection technology to provide advice on breathing, biomechanics and coordination.
iSportWeaR is a smart personal health management solution for fitness and sporting enthusiasts. Featuring non-contact low-power radar technology, it can be integrated into accessories such as sunglasses and bike handle grips to provide real-time detection and continuous monitoring of physiological parameters. It accurately measures heart rate, breathing rate, and activity behavior such as cycling posture and resting status. This helps athletes better understand their health status and optimize training across various exercises such as running and cycling. Long-term usage history is logged in a personal database, which users can check anytime.
iSportWeaR also provides data for sports injury prevention. When detecting abnormal physiological conditions, it sends out alerts via the smartphone to users, helping to prevent injuries such as heat exhaustion.
The application in bike handle grips is the first of its kind in the current bike accessory market, marking a breakthrough in health-monitoring cycling solutions. ITRI worked with a leading bicycle brand to develop iSportWeaR and is introducing this technology to various pioneering product designs for additional cycling applications.
The iSportWeaR miniature module enables seamless integration into different sporting accessories, and it eliminates the need for sensors that have direct contact with the user's skin. The sensing device even works with sweat interference and through gloves, and it works indoors or outdoors, rain or shine, in temperatures ranging from 41 to 122 degrees Fahrenheit (5 to 50 degrees Celsius) and relative humidity of 10 to 90%. iSportWeaR uses Bluetooth Low Energy communication to receive and transmit signals, with measurement range for heartbeat rates of 48 to 240 beats per minute (bpm) and respiration rates of 6 to 60 bpm.
The Digital Twin for Sport Guidance with Vital Sign Sensing is the world's first virtual coach for indoor bike and flywheel training using contactless detection technology and big data analytics to provide advice on breathing, biomechanics and coordination. The system measures respiratory rate via thermal sensing and includes a depth camera for skeletal imaging and motion tracking. It analyzes the user's back, shoulders, elbows, arms, hips, and knees through image-based skeletal movements. It compares collected data with the statistics of world-class cyclists and offers real-time professional-level suggestions on breathing adjustment, motion strength, and body coordination, improving users' training experience and progress. With no monitoring wearables, users can focus more on realistic road condition simulations and enhance training effectiveness. ITRI has cooperated with world-renowned bicycle manufacturers to create powerful solutions for training athletes with the Digital Twin for Sport Guidance with Vital Sign Sensing.
Additional sports and fitness technologies that ITRI will showcase include:
iMetaWeaR is a smart clothing technology enabling haptic feedback via multi-position electrical stimulation to create an enhanced metaverse experience for users playing virtual sports such as boxing and fencing. Dry, washable fabric-based electrodes are screen printed into somatosensory garments, eliminating the need for adhesive electrodes. The elastic feature and customized design offer high comfort, and the robust control mode allows for stimulation variations in an immersive environment.
The Athletic Armband for Contactless EMG Detection is a capacitive electromyography (EMG) athletic armband for continuous real-time measurement of electric signals from muscles without direct skin contact. This sports armband can measure muscle strength in professional training, providing information including the order of muscle activation, the level of fatigue and injury alerts through an app. The wearable design includes flexible hybrid electronics (FHE) and redistribution layer (RDL) technologies, and the sensing distance is up to 0.3 mm.
ITRI's sports and fitness technologies are launching in the United States at CES 2023. ITRI is seeking technology transfers and business collaboration opportunities for the above technologies. Interested partners are welcome to book a meeting at event.itri.org/CES2023/login.
ITRI's CES 2023 online press kit is available here: ces.vporoom.com/ITRI. Images, fact sheets, and videos of the technologies are available here.

If y'all follow me on Instagram you'll notice that I decorate cookies and cookie pops a few times a year. Several folks have asked for recipes and instructions. I will share with you my line up of go-to resources.
Cut out cookie recipe: The Decorated Cookie - Cutout cookie dough This is the best damn cookie recipe you'll ever try. Notes: You HAVE to chill the dough as directed. I even re-chill my scraps before using them a second time. The fresher your ingredients the better they taste. Lastly, I skip the almond extract. I think it tastes like chemicals. I use homemade vanilla or occasionally a flavored liquor like Frangelico.
Flooding aka "the wet frosting look": I taught myself using the guide in The Decorated Cookie's "I'm Melting" Original melting snow man cookie blog post. There are a ton of tutorials built into this single blog post. See Katie and I's first attempt at making these cookies.
More flooding tutorials: I was getting sloppy and rushed with the above technique so I now use this YouTube video by Steve's Kitchen. His rules for finding the right consistency really helped.
Give yourself ample time. It took me 8 hours start to finish for the frog cookies (obviously doing other things while the dough is chilling or baking). I sometimes make dough one night, next night cut and bake, next night do base layer icing, next day top layer.
Buy lots and lots of tips and couplers. I probably have four or five of each #1 #2 #3 #4 and #5 tips. The last thing you want to do is clean out tips between every color change. They're $0.99 each. Go crazy.
If I am doing several sets of cookies within a month I save the icing colors in disposable ziplock storage containers. I can tweak the colors. I just toss the containers when I'm done.
Buy this. It makes icing bright white, or you can use it to tone down over dyed icing colors.
Follow my cookie idea board on Pinterest. ENJOY!


Taking into account the following scheme for writing essays, here is something that will help you to write the perfect essay. You need to proofread it. It is worth mentioning that all textual analysis, discussions and interpretations, or Creative Writing more or less, they contain a common scheme.This "universal" basic plan includes such points as introduction, body and conclusion. This is the backbone of any essay help writing, which must be observed and followed.
Organize the text in terms of Sections. Be careful when there is a new story in the text, because there usually happen the most important things.
Section and line-by-line summary of the text is unfortunate, because in this way, only the superfluous details and not the most important are shown.
Rather, you should be based on height and turning points, when it comes to the end of the text when writing a synopsis.
Could write essays to compare well with art or craft. Ultimately, the clever play with the language gives an essay individuality and beauty. To ensure a good essay the transition rates do not be ignored. This is why you need to do a proofreading. For this reason, always use a short transition complete your introductory sentence. In addition, it is useful to link the main part of the essay and it to be completed in the best possible way.
It is part of the 'learning goals'. It comes to formulation issues. This first step is often the hardest. Therefore, here is some advice.
The starting point for finding a topic, is that you have any problem is noticed, i.e. something, that is unlikely from any point of view. For example, something you were wondering, this is you still unclear, or a dot next seminar discussion in the not appear to have been satisfactorily resolved, in which you had a different opinion than the lecturer, or is not in your view, the research show up correctly, etc.
Devote yourself to the sections that you have become conspicuous in which you 'stuck' are, and try to figure out why you hear about it, what problem is in these passages. Then, try to arrange your results on a higher abstraction level, to formulate of theses and arguments in a sketch (precursor of the breakdown) systematically compile. The argumentative vanishing point of this sketch is your job title. Then go to the written report.
Do not be alarmed if you have to change in the course of drafting the outline several times and formulate the new title. That is a sign that you have invented something new and found out (and not just a surface finding formulated).
Academic learning is research-based learning! Do not go too early in the secondary literature.
You must first ask their own questions and hypotheses have in mind, before you can decide, do what you can and essays which should be discussed there, the established theories of you and included in your work.
Each essay is created first in the mind, and only when you have it ready mentally, you start to write. You need to ensure paper, a roll of wrapping paper, a black permanent marker and thick colour pencils ready. If you want to gather ideas, you need rest. The door – what disturbs remains outside! Books, encyclopaedias, the Internet search engine can help you further.
For this purpose, you use best a mind map. The principle is simple: In the middle of a sheet, you write your topic. Example: water. Walk away from lines that are at the end again circles with key sub-themes. Examples: drinking, washing, rain. Of these circles go back smaller branches from where you write your thoughts on the sub-themes. Examples: health, swimming badges, flood.
Of those thoughts again branches, smaller branches go off with other ideas. The advantage is that you get a clear structure for your essay. Branches jump back and forth, and you look at each branch and can overlook or forget anything.
Who is the most important person?
Who plays the main role?
What does this person special?
Where the story takes place? What are the special at this place?
When something important happens? What is the result? Who is affected?
Which people are important? How do they behave the main character?
What is the point / the message / the voltage peak of your story?
Important: You can be sure that your story works if you know her opinion. Therefore, never just start writing, as long as the end is not clear. Otherwise as this site for essay help points, you run the risk of not being completed because do not you find out from history. Which title fits after all these questions get to your story?

MIBR's CEO Roberta Coelho reflects on 2022 and future plans
Image credit: MIBR
2022 started a bit frightening for MIBR fans. Even though the brand is a symbol in Brazilian esports, especially for its prosperous history in Counter-Strike, in May the team's parent company Immortals Gaming Club (IGC) decided to sell its spot in the BLAST Premier Series.
Such an action launched doubts about the short-term future of the organisation and some rumours in Brazil even pointed to a supposed end of the IGC's Brazilian tag. However, the following months showed that the BLAST spot sale was just a bump in the road before MIBR took off for the rest of the year.
"My arrival in MIBR was to bring in my experience about how to organise a company, and then little by little we were building it. The beginning of 2022 was a milestone that we called our 'new age'," Roberta Coelho, CEO at MIBR, told Esports Insider.
Coelho entered MIBR in the second half of 2021, coming from a leadership role at the international music festival Rock in Rio. According to Coelho, one of the organisation's focuses was to expand the MIBR brand, and improve communication with the audience and with brands interested in esports, endemic or otherwise.
"We started [2022] aiming at what we are today: An entertainment company that delivers experience through esports. So it's really cool that we connect with music, we connect with Web3 in all senses, we connect through our influencers' content," she added.
The organisation also appeared in technology headlines through the launch of a talent platform named WIBR, an acronym for 'Women in Brazil'. The initiative aims to create career opportunities in gaming and esports for women and non-binary people. Alongside its female CS:GO and VALORANT teams, plus Roberta Coelho's appointment as CEO, MIBR has become something of a reference point for women's inclusion in esports, at least in the LATAM region.
Esports Insider has teamed up with the University of Warwick for ESI Next Gen. To find out more, click here.
"Over 40% of our workforce is women, so today it is a company run by women too," said Coelho. "[From WIBR] alone we hired six users from all over Brazil."
Esports Insider also asked Coelho to comment on MIBR's accession into the VCT Partner programme, which introduces a hybrid semi-franchised system in which partner teams get annual stipends. "I'll say that all the grey hair I have today I owe to the process of the international league. But I think it was super worth it and it is with great pride that we are there, as a stage will happen here in Brazil," she said. "It is a huge reason for pride."
Since the VCT partnership programme requires teams to have a facility in Los Angeles, the roster will be based there at an IGC facility. Still, there are plans of course to also expand the structure in Brazil, Coelho revealed.
MIBR aims to continue its expansion on all fronts in 2023. She told Esports Insider that MIBR ideally wants to grow through content. Initiatives in the lifestyle and fashion verticals are also a focus of the organisation.

During the interview, the CEO also revealed that MIBR is pursuing an entrance to the franchised Brazilian League of Legends Championship (CBLOL) league It is currently open to offers to secure a spot.
In August 2022, Esports Insider reported that the spot Miners was selling had more than one buyer interested. MIBR interest might just have been what pushed the price up to the reported $2m (~£1.66m) Vivo Keyd paid, over two times the initial ~£620,000 fee charged by Riot Games in 2020.
"When you talk about sports in Brazil you can't avoid talking about MIBR. It's an icon and an organisation that has been reinventing itself," Coelho claimed. If 2022 was only the 'reinvention' of MIBR, then high expectations can be set for 2023. Not only Brazil but the whole world is watching it.

Do you often drink sodas and fruit juice? Many people do but are unaware of the harm they could be doing to their teeth. A recent study showed that a considerable percentage of adults showed some evidence of acid erosion, and those with more significant damage were more likely to have consumed fruit juices and sugary sodas.
What Is the Problem with Drinking Fruit Juice and Soda?
Many fruit juices and sodas contain at least 6 teaspoons of sugar and more often than not are served in large portion sizes, increasing the risk of acid erosion and tooth decay. Some people feel that drinking fruit juice is a good way to consume more fruit, but the idea that these juices are healthy can be misplaced due to the high concentration of acid and sugar. When regularly consumed, they can do significant damage to teeth.
Another issue with drinking these types of beverages is that people frequently sip on them throughout the day, increasing the risk of damage as a teeth are constantly being exposed to the sugar and acid contained in them. If you think that no added sugar on the label means a product is sugar-free then think again as it merely means exactly what it says and that no additional sugar has been added to the beverage. However these drinks can contain sugars or they may be listed as carbohydrates.
So What Are the Best Drinks to Have?
If you want to keep your teeth strong and healthy it's best to stick to water and milk. The same study found that participants who chose these beverages showed reduced levels of acid erosion compared to participants who opted for fruit juice or soda.
Acid erosion or dental erosion is where tooth enamel is damaged due to being attacked by the acid or sugars in foods and drinks. Tooth enamel is extremely hard and protects the softer layers of the tooth that lie underneath. However when exposed to acid, valuable minerals are leached out from the enamel surface which has the effect of weakening it and gradually wearing it away. Over time the enamel layer can gradually become thinner, eventually exposing the much softer layer of dentin underneath. When this occurs you'll probably notice your teeth are much more sensitive towards hot and cold and the risk of tooth decay significantly increases.
How Is Acid Erosion Treated?
Our dentists at the Cosmetic Dentistry Center can regularly examine your teeth for signs of acid erosion. Sometimes it's possible to reverse the early signs with fluoride treatments that help to harden tooth enamel. However if the damage is more significant and has caused decay then we will need to remove these damaged areas and replace them with fillings. This is one of the reasons we do recommend regular checkups as otherwise decay can soon progress, reaching the central part of the tooth and causing significant infection and pain that will require root canal therapy.
Our dentists can also give you advice on your diet as quite often even making small changes can significantly improve your dental health. Why not ask us at your next visit?

Microwave sensing technology paves way towards personalized antibiotic therapy
by University of British Columbia
Using microwave sensing technology, UBCO researchers have developed a low-cost, contactless, portable and reusable microwave sensor that acts as a fast and reliable evaluation tool for measuring antibiotic resistance. Credit: UBC Okanagan
UBC researchers have developed a method for monitoring bacterial responses to antibiotics in health-care settings that opens the door to personalized antibiotic therapy for patients.
Using microwave sensing technology, UBC Okanagan Assistant Professor Mohammad Zarifi and his team at the Okanagan Microelectronics and Gigahertz Applications (OMEGA) Lab have developed a low-cost, contactless, portable and reusable microwave sensor that acts as a fast and reliable evaluation tool for measuring antibiotic resistance.
According to the World Health Organization, over-prescription of antibiotics has led to growing resistance of bacteria towards drug treatments. As a result, the newly evolved "superbugs" have put a large strain on health-care systems globally, says Zarifi.
This newly developed sensor aims to combat the drawbacks of the current Antibiotic Susceptibility Test (AST), as it reduces the time and cost taken to conduct the test, while increasing the portability for AST to be used in remote regions.
"Many types of bacteria are continuously evolving to develop resistance to antibiotics. This is a pressing issue for hospitals around the globe, while sensor and diagnosis technology has been slow to adapt," explains Zarifi, who teaches at the School of Engineering.
Existing AST practices are expensive and can take up to 48 hours to process results.
"Longer wait times can significantly delay the treatments patients receive, which can lead to further medical complications or even fatalities. This method showcases the requirement for a reliable, rapid and cost-effective detection tool,"' he says.
The new sensor, developed by the UBC team, can differentiate bacterial growth variations before any visible cues are evident. Therefore, the dosage or type of antibiotics can be fine-tuned to combat the specific bacterial infection.
In the next phase of development, the OMEGA lab aims to integrate artificial intelligence algorithms with this sensing device to develop smart sensors, which would be a big leap towards personalized antibiotic therapy.
"Our ultimate goal is to reduce inappropriate usage of antibiotics and enhance quality of care for the patients," says Zarifi. "The more quality tools like this that health-care practitioners have at their disposal, the greater their ability to combat bacteria and viruses."
This research has been published in Nature Scientific Reports with financial and instrumental support from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Council of Canada, the Canada Foundation for Innovation and CMC Microsystems.

Pontal do Paranapanema is the only region in São Paulo state where a large scale sugarcane expansion can take place. Such expansion is expected and will likely affect the rural family farmers in the region. Without regulations, the expansion might negatively affect the income of family farmers who start to grow sugarcane. Some family farmers already grow sugarcane and it has been shown that their average income from sugarcane is sometimes less than 3 times the average income from sugarcane in the rest of the state. The same is expected to be the case for all family farmers who start to grow sugarcane if no regulations are added. The family farmers have such small properties that it is not profitable for them to buy all necessary equipment for growing sugarcane. They rent some services from the sugarcane industry leading to lower net incomes. The sugarcane expansion can lead to increased socioeconomic benefits for the family farmers if the expansion is done in combination with changed cattle farming. Family farmers can have a combined production system where they grow sugarcane on parts of their property and in exchange for the delivered sugarcane to the sugarcane industry they could receive nutritious cattle feed made from sugarcane residues. If the cattle stock is changed and feed with the cattle feed this can lead to large increases in milk production and hence large income gains. To evaluate the socioeconomic and climate impacts of expanding ethanol sugarcane production in conjunction with this combined production system, two models were created: one for calculating income growth of family farmers when a combined sugarcane and milk production system is introduced and one for calculating energy and emissions from a sugarcane expansion when coupled with the combined production system. The model analyses indicate that income could 10-fold for family farmers if a combined sugarcane and milk production system is introduced. At the same time, the global emissions of greenhouse gases could be significantly reduced if the ethanol from such production replaced gasoline used for transportation in the EU. If a sugarcane industry wants to run in Pontal regulations could state that they then have to produce cattle feed of some of the sugarcane residues in order to promote the combined production system.

@newcastlejetsfc 1504237621
Newcastle Jets have today confirmed the appointment of Chris Bowling as the club's Hyundai A-League Goalkeeping Coach for the 2017/18 season.
Following his interim appointment in August and subsequent involvement in the Jets' pre-season preparations, the Toronto junior will work with Jack Duncan, Glenn Moss and Peirce Clarke on a permanent basis.
The former Broadmeadow Magic gloveman was considered one of Northern New South Wales' (NNSW) finest custodians in his playing days, enjoying stints with Toronto-Awaba, South Cardiff and Valentine in the NNSW National Premier League.
Jets CEO, Lawrie McKinna welcomed this latest appointment to Ernie Merrick's coaching staff.
"Chris has been a massive contributor to football across the Hunter, both as a player and a coach," said McKinna.
"He's been involved with our W-League and junior development programs for a number of years, in addition to his involvement with the Matildas during a very successful period for the women's national team.
"He brings a great a level of experience and a positive attitude to his coaching, this is a great opportunity for Chris and I'm pleased to see him officially on board for the upcoming (Hyundai) A-League season."
Bowling expressed his excitement at securing the role for the 2017/18 Hyundai A-League season and is looking forward to a big year ahead.
"It's an exciting time for the club with the boys putting in some solid pre-season performances so far," said Bowling.
"Working with Jack, Glenn and Peirce has been great – they're a talented group who bring a quality attitude and strong work ethic to everything they do.
"I'm looking forward to incorporating some of the things I've worked on with the Matilda's into this new role – particularly video analysis."
It's this technical approach that has impressed Jet's boss, Ernie Merrick during Bowling's interim stint in charge of the Jets' keeping stocks.
"It's great to have a local guy with Chris' knowledge, qualifications and experience joining our coaching staff," said Merrick.
"He's slotted right in and has been working well with the boys during his interim stint with the club – to have him on board for the rest of the season is first class.
"Chris employs some very modern techniques, not only in his technical work but through video analysis and review, providing our keepers with a quality feedback loop to help improve their performance."

"I'm from N'Djamena, Chad. My father was one of the organisers of the UFDD [The Union of Forces for Democracy and Development] coup in 2008. UFDD is the largest group of Chadian rebel forces opposed to the current president of Chad, Idriss Déby. The coup was unsuccessful and the government forces came looking for me and my father. My brother was captured by the police and we never heard from him again. At that point my father had already escaped to Darfur. I also went to Sudan because the military was searching for me. I even came close to getting killed a few times. In Sudan, I started training with the UFDD and went on a few missions to retake Chad and oust the government. After two years and many failed attempts, our group became weak and our leader, Mahamat Nouri, went to France to look for support. My father told me not to go back to Chad anymore because I would be killed. I did what I could to oust the dictatorial government in Chad, as that would have been the only way to go back to my country. I went on four different missions but all of them failed. I saw many people die in front of my eyes.
So I went to Libya, where my grandfather was living. But in 2011 the situation there was also really bad – constant fighting, bombs falling everywhere. I tried going back to Sudan but the border was closed. I stayed in Libya for a year as I couldn't go anywhere else. Police there were stopping Africans on the streets and telling us to leave, so I decided to go to Italy. I crossed the sea on a big boat with a thousand other people. We were piled up three levels high and could hardly breathe. When I finally reached Italy, I was given asylum there. A year later, the police came to the refugee camp in Brescia and told us to go to another country. They kicked us out of the camp and I slept on the streets from a month. I got some money from friends and bought myself a train ticket to Germany.
I've been in Germany for three years now and I feel that my hands are tied more than ever. I can't go back home, but I also can't move forward here. I don't have the right to study or work here, which is printed on my residence permit. I really need to better understand what's happening in the world, in Africa and in my country, but how can I do that when I've been stuck in this situation for so long? I'm given €300 per month for all my expenses, including food. Officially, I don't even have the right to leave my camp in Rathenow and come to Berlin. I spend just a day or two here and then go back to the camp. In Berlin, I can meet up with friends and get a bit of a sense of community. Back in Rathenow, I feel like a prisoner. I have too much time to think about things and it can make me go crazy. Even today, I still have nightmares of my friends dying while fighting. I think about my parents in Darfur, I think that they need my help. I want to get married and have kids. But I cannot do this if I don't have any money.
But what can I do? I was fighting together with the Oranienplatz refugees, we organised demonstrations and made a video but nothing came out of it. I want to work – I can do any kind of job! I have experience as a cook and construction worker in Libya, I was working as a car mechanic in Chad. I started working with my dad in the garage when I was 10 years old. He showed me how to do everything. I went on with my life and did all kinds of work, but car mechanic has always been my dream job. If Germany allows me to work, I want to repair cars again."

1 Fortunate Powerball Ticket Worth $1m Sold In Nc $50k Tickets Sold In Raleigh, Durham
Post author:darriny738543278
The winner has 180 days from the drawing to claim their prize. Since no a single won Wednesday's jackpot, the jackpot climbs to $150 million as an annuity prize or $107.6 파워볼 million money for Saturday's drawing. Odds of winning the Powerball jackpot are 1 in 292 million.
Lottery claiming deadlines have been extended through Maryland's COVID-19 state of emergency. Any ticket that reaches its expiration date even though the state of emergency remains in effect can nevertheless be redeemed for up to 30 days just after the date that the state of emergency is lifted. Two fortunate Granite Staters are now millionaires right after winning the lottery more than the weekend. The New Hampshire Lottery confirmed that a $1 million Powerball ticket was sold at Winners Corner on Mast Road in Manchester for Saturday night's drawing. A different $2 million Powerball winner was purchased working with the New Hampshire iLottery on the web platform for the same drawing. Lottery officials stated the odds of achieving that on a single ticket are 1 in 11 million.The winning numbers had been 1, five, 29, 54 and 62 with a Powerball of three.
Thursday, Aug. 26, is the final day to enter your non-winning Valentine's Day Doubler ticket for the Aug. 31 2nd Possibility drawing. Taking a lump sum could also be the superior course if, not to be morbid, the winner is not probably to reside extended sufficient to collect decades of payouts, and has no heirs to be provided for. While some would argue that in today's economy there is no way to assure that the dollars would earn four%, there's also no guarantee that it would not earn far additional than four%.
Hundreds of line crews are out working to restore power to more than five,000 National Grid shoppers, primarily in the southern aspect of the state. A pair of Powerball tickets excellent for $50,000 a piece were sold in North Jersey. In March, a 23-year-old Florida man won a $235 million Powerball jackpot. He took property a lump-sum payment of additional than $160 million. The great news is that a person in Florida won a $286 million Powerball jackpot this weekend. You can see the lottery every evening suitable ahead of FOX59 Newspoint at Eleven.
With a System ticket you can win various prizes with a single entry. For instance, let's say you buy a Saturday Lotto System 7 entry containing seven numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, five, six and 7. Click on a date to view the prize breakdown from that distinct draw, which includes the quantity of winners and the prizes awarded to New York residents. That means the Powerball drawing on Wednesday, August 11 will be worth $241 million with a money alternative of $175 million.
When the day of the Powerball drawing arrived on August 11, he found that his ticket matched four of the white balls as effectively as the red Powerball. The odds of reaching that match are 1 in 913,129, according to lottery officials. Of that, an estimated $16.eight million will go to state education applications. The win is the biggest jackpot ever won in North Carolina involving a single ticket and is the 5th time that a North Carolina ticket has claimed a Powerball jackpot. Her fortunate $3 Energy Play ticket matched the numbers on all five white balls to win $1 million in Saturday's drawing. Johnson's prize doubled to $2 million when the 2X multiplier was drawn.

Cops Raid Sonoma Hash Oil Operation
Police in Sonoma County raided several grow sites in June, seizing equipment, shutting down two popular marijuana brands, and closing a lab used to make cannabis products sold across California.
Santa Rosa police arrested Dennis Franklin Hunter, 43, the owner of Absolute Xtracts and Care by Design, both marijuana brands. Authorities said the two companies were part of an illegal hash oil ring that used prohibited methods and chemicals in violation of numerous municipal codes.
Hunter was jailed on $5 million bail, facing charges of manufacturing a controlled substance. The bail is unusually high for this type of crime, said Santa Rosa Police Lt. Mike Lazzarini, because Hunter has a record of evading law enforcement.
The story from Hunter's businesses was decidedly different. Nick Caston, spokesman for the two brands, said they don't use any of the volatile chemicals that are banned in hash oil production. Care by Design and Absolute Xtracts make lines of oil vape cartridges, oil-infused sprays, and oil-filled gel caps.
'Best practices of any company in the state'
"We produce medicine as determined by the voters in the 1990s, and we do it with the best practices of any company in the state," Caston said. The brands were launched in 2014 under a cooperative that now provides hash oil to thousands of patients "at dispensaries in every major town in the state, from San Diego north," he said.
Santa Rosa police raided a hash oil lab in a business park on Circadian Way off Corporate Center Parkway.
Marijuana is legal in California for medical use, and it will likely be legal for recreational use after the November election. There is no general state law against hash oil production, but many local communities either ban it or tightly regulate it under their own rules.
Hunter has a history of legal problems involving cannabis. Federal authorities issued an arrest warrant for him in the late 1990s for growing a Humboldt County pot farm with 12,000 plants, the largest grow site in the county to that point. He spent four years on the run before being arrested in 2002.
Hunter's history of evading police
Hunter served a five-and-a-half-year prison sentence, but in 2013 he dodged police again, this time escaping from an Arkansas airport on a plane authorities believed contained drugs. He later turned himself in.
But Caston noted that the legal pot industry itself descends from a lawless black market. That's just part of the history of the business, he said, and no one should expect their marijuana providers to be squeaky clean.
Black market built the industry
"They're the folks that have been leading the way, breaking down the stigma, breaking down the misconceptions," he said. "He's really a visionary, along with the other folks in our company, trying to bring practices that are safe. This (law enforcement) action is very surprising."
Caston insisted the labs where hash oil was made never used butane, a solvent banned for manufacturing marijuana products. Butane is highly explosive, and its popularity as a means of making hash oil is declining. Instead, Caston said, the lab used high-pressure carbon dioxide devices to extract resin.
Lazzarini said officers found several empty butane canisters at one of the properties. Caston said they were left over from an "R&D project" scrapped at least two years ago, but Lazzarini said police would continue their investigation.
Comment below: Should authorities do more to prevent hash oil manufacturers from using butane, or less?

Sadly, much of the international community has responded with indifference throughout the five-year conflict.
But it appears some people have finally had enough and refuse to sit idly by as other human beings are being slaughtered.
Throughout the week, protests were held in cities worldwide in support of Aleppo.
The images that emerged from these protests are very moving and a testament to the common bond all humans share.
In Paris, a city that's no stranger to suffering and violence, the Eiffel Tower went dark as an expression of solidarity with Aleppo.
In Istanbul, which just suffered a devastating attack outside a soccer stadium on Saturday, thousands took to the streets to protest Russian and Iranian involvement in the destruction of Aleppo and Syria.
In Sarajevo, the capital of the country that observed the 20th anniversary of the Srebrenica massacre last year, people protested the world's silence on the ongoing suffering and violence in Aleppo.
Sarajevo understands the awful impact of war all too well.
In New York City, people gathered outside of the Russian consulate to protest Moscow's role in the awful events in Aleppo.
In Kuwait, people marched to the Russian embassy to show their support for Aleppo.
In London, protesters demanded an end to the violence outside of the Russian embassy.
People in Denver also exhibited solidarity with Aleppo, demanding an end to the killing.
Berlin also voiced its opposition to the violence in Syria and protested in solidarity with Aleppo's people.
People in Bern, Switzerland, held a vigil for Aleppo.
Residents of Amsterdam also gathered to show their support for the people of Aleppo.
People in Kiev, which has also recently witnessed the horrors of violent conflict, came together in support of Aleppo and in protest of Russia's involvement in the Syria conflict.
Meanwhile, the operation to evacuate civilians, rebels and their families from Aleppo is reportedly underway after an initial ceasefire failed.
This was supposed to occur on Wednesday, but a ceasefire agreed upon on Tuesday ultimately collapsed in less than 24 hours.
For the sake of these people, let's hope the ceasefire lasts this time.

36-yr-old man arraigned in Ekiti for biting off neighbour's finger
Adesina Badmus, a 36-yr-old man has been arraigned before an Ado-Ekiti Chief Magistrates' Court for allegedly biting off his neighbor's finger with his teeth.
According to Punch, Badmus is facing one count of assault.
On Wednesday, May 8, 2019, when the matter was called in court, Inspector Johnson Okunade, who is the police prosecutor said that the defendant committed the offence on April 29 around 10.15pm off Agric Road, Ado-Ekiti.
Explaining what led to biting of the finger, the prosecuted added that the defendant had an argument with one Ajanaku Adelegan, and assaulted him by biting off the victim's finger. He said: "The offence contravened Section 338 of the Criminal Code, Laws of Ekiti State, 2012."
However, the defendant pleaded not guilty to the charge council as his counsel, Mr Gbenga Bejide, urged the court to grant him bail in liberal terms.
The Chief Magistrate, Mr Adesoji Adegboye, granted bail to the defendant in the sum of N200,000 with two sureties in like sum.
He, therefore, adjourned the case till June 17 for hearing.

Cuteness with more than a dash of naughtiness and loads of character are the only way to describe these little Sugar Paste Parrots and Giraffes. These tropical coloured cheeky characters were such fun to create and I am so chuffed they found a soft perch on fluffy iced cupcakes.
Giraffes in all their tall elegant beauty are my favourite land animals as they grace the African planes with their serene nature and of course always have a view second to none. These Sugar Paste Giraffes I created with a slight twist to their natural elegance, as each one had its own sugar character. The dudes and dudettes with toothbrushes were a tongue in cheek acknowledgement to the recipient of the cupcake gift as he is a dentist. The cheeky dude giraffes are nonchalantly chewing on sugar branches while some of the more demure dudettes flutter their eyelashes at all their admirers.
