All Microsoft, all the time... on Android? The review
Published by Steve Litchfield at 17:55 UTC, October 22nd 2017
Now here's a feature that requires a delicate preface if ever there was one. The whole point of AAWP was to write about Windows on phones, and I'm still fully believing in the idea of one OS on all form factors. Yet what if we change 'Windows' to 'Microsoft'? Given the company's lack of comittment in building their own phone hardware, Windows 10 Mobile is withering on the vine and so alternatives for people invested in the Microsoft ecosystem would seem a good bet for research. Now, guess what I've been doing for the last week?(!)
So... in a sense, the very idea of taking all the Microsoft apps and services that we associate with Windows and running them on a phone with a different OS seems heretical. Indeed, such a move might serve a site 'All About Android' better, but that's not really the point here. With Microsoft itself signing Windows 10 Mobile's eventual death warrant with the stopping of first party hardware in 2016 and the lack of investment in new features in 2017 (with End Of Life for the OS some time in 2019 or 2020), there obviously needs to be a backup plan for us all. Or 'plans', plural. For Microsoft, for end users, even for AAWP as a site.
Now, the dominant mobile OS of recent years (ignoring the skewed iPhone-centric, contract-heavy USA market) by a massive margin has been Google's Android, chiefly because it's free to build upon - its basics are even Open Source. It's also similar to Windows in that there's a (largely) user-accessible file system and there's not much that's prohibited in terms of using the hardware provided. (Compare to iOS, which is still very locked down and features such as NFC and Bluetooth can still only be used for things Apple approves of.)
Most notably, because of Android's success in the open market, there are hundreds, even thousands of phones now available, with wide variations in specs and prices. Add this choice to the continuing efforts of Microsoft to make all of its software and service 'properties' available on Android (and iOS to a lesser degree) and the thought of a top flight Android phone being marketed by Microsoft with all of the latter's stuff front and centre starts to become a very real possibility.
In fact, WC reported back in April on a limited release of a 'Microsoft Edition' Samsung Galaxy S8 in some markets, so there's a precedent here. In fact, things have moved on quite a way, since more and more Microsoft apps and services are now available, including Cortana and including a dedicated Microsoft Launcher. All of which I try out below.
Should it matter that we might be seeing Microsoft go all in on mobile on top of a phone OS other than Windows 10 Mobile? Well, yes, from a purist standpoint, it goes against everything we've been standing up for and cheering for for the last five years. From Microsoft's - or at least from Satya Nadella's - viewpoint though, the object of staying in business is to get as many people using Office 365, Outlook, OneDrive, Teams, LinkedIn, and so on, as possible. Satya comes from a cloud and services background and so that's now the company's focus, no matter how galling you or I might find it. And no matter which OS and on which company's hardware all of this runs on. Sigh.
Still, a little research never hurt anyone and after years of Windows Phone and Windows 10 Mobile (not to mention Windows on desktops) there will be a lot of users who have invested a lot of themselves into Outlook Mail and Contacts/Calendar, OneDrive and IE/Edge. This may well be you - in which case you're going to be interested to see how easy is it to take everything you've built up and everything you've learned and live with it all on Android. The answer a year ago was 'Very hard', the answer right now is 'Pretty easy', thanks to Microsoft efforts in the last month in particular.
Although Microsoft were showing off their software wares on a Galaxy S8 earlier in the year, and although a Microsoft-ified Galaxy Note 8 might make most sense (given the stylus), let's start small. I had the large-screened, dual camera-ed, fingerprint sensor-equipped Honor 6X around the office, around a year old but still a fast and decent Android handset, usually considered to have a rather heavy 'skin' from its maker, Huawei. But this didn't bother me at all, since I was about to replace almost everything with Microsoft software.
Here we go then, with my illustrated walkthrough of Microsoft-on-Android, as at October 2017. Oh, and grab a drink, this could take a while!
As part of setting up the phone for the first time, the device's default launcher will probably require permissions - but it's largely irrelevant since we're going to (right) head straight for the Play Store and install the 'Microsoft Launcher' (previously the Arrow Launcher, a Microsoft Garage project).
The first time you open the Microsoft Launcher, you'll get some help panes and (right) the first chance to set the wonderful Bing daily wallpaper as your default.
This is no Start screen lookalike - here everything 'live' is handled in a separate pane off to one side, as is traditional for Android launchers; (right) signing in to your Microsoft account in the launcher means that it has access to all your stuff as you go on.... Note the default Huawei/Honor keyboard is still in use at this point. It's pretty good, but we can do better again...
And we're nearly there - you can ignore (right) the Honor EMUI warning about switching away from the default launcher - we're all in on Microsoft here!
The rather effective 'Fluent design' tip appears on first launch, reminding you of that swipeable pane off to one side... (right)... and here it is, with weather, agenda, news, and much more.
Of course, underneath all the Microsoft stuff we're about to put on, it's important to have the Android kernel and OS bang up to date in these insecure times. So here I'm updating the OS from the standard System/Settings panes; (right) ditto for the built-in and standard Android applications. You may only use a handful (Camera, Messaging, etc.) but let's get everything bang up to date, here in the Play Store.
The Honor 6X doesn't come with many Microsoft applications as standard, but the Microsoft Launcher here includes a handy stub folder with some likely download shortcuts. In each case, follow them and install the various Microsoft applications (there's no 'update all MS apps' sadly) as needed.
Plus, while you're in the Play Store, it's a good idea to tap through to 'see more' from 'Microsoft Corporation' and then seek out other useful bits that weren't initially provided with shortcuts; (right) bit by bit, the initial folder starts to fill out.
Once everything's in place (actually I added several MS bits after these screenshots were taken, but you'll get the idea!), you'll possibly end up with something like this - I've arranged things according to how often I use the various Microsoft applications, your own layout is very much up to you. Exactly as it would be arranging tiles on a Start screen on a Windows phone.
Various settings within the Microsoft Launcher - setting up the daily Bing image change and (right) basic launcher toggles.
Trying out some of the Microsoft applications - OneDrive works exactly as on Windows Phone and Windows 10 Mobile, with (right) an auto-camera-upload facility - best turn this on, to replicate what Photos does on your Windows phone.
OneDrive works just as on Windows, and all my online folders show up the same way and with the usual access options from the phone; (right) ditto OneNote, which took a couple of minutes to sync down all my notebooks but then I was fully up and running.
The Edge browser works as it does under Windows 10 Mobile, though with a little more screen furniture - and, famously, the Chromium rendering engine under the hood; (right) all your Edge favourites are here though, plus your browsing history, all synced across through your Microsoft account.
Ah yes, good web site; (right) when encountering web links in applications or from searches, you at first get this pop up asking which browser to use - and then thereafter it remembers your choice. In this case Microsoft Edge.
With Microsoft owning SwiftKey now, you can 'log in' to the keyboard with your Microsoft account to get your preference and personal dictionary synced between devices, which is pretty cool.
As with Word Flow under Windows 10, it gets smarter as time goes on; (right) SwiftKey in action... (Ignore the floating icons top right, that's part of OneNote for Android and I was err... experimenting!)
Cortana gets into various nooks and crannies in Android, most usefully as the 'long press the home icon' default voice assistant...
On the lock screen there's an optional big Cortana icon and you can swipe from this to get to a summary of weather and events, etc, though it stops short of the full Cortana 'today' experience in my testing; (right) it's also useful to accept the default 'Cortana Mic' icon for your home screen - a constant reminder of the assistant being available.
Time for some music - Groove Music is alive and well here on Android - here seeing all my music on OneDrive and playing/streaming it perfectly.
Outlook is a huge app on Android, with email, calendar, files, and contacts, all within the one interface. The hamburger menu changes for each 'tab' too - it's quite the UI and does require some learning!
Outlook's Calendar and People views - all data is here from the Microsoft Cloud, as you'd expect.
It's all in a state of preview, of course. And it depends very much on the exact Android phone being used. Huawei's EMUI implementation here is very aggressive in killing applications after a while, so the multitasking carousel ('recent apps') may still require taps to restart/activate an application; (right) I asked Cortana about traffic on the M25 and it showed me er... Prestwich. Early days and work for Microsoft to do!!
In hindsight, it all went very smoothly indeed - the result looked nothing like Windows, but everything like Microsoft. If you're heavily invested in Windows and Microsoft services then it's really not too much of a wrench. The biggest thing I missed was the Start screen and 'live tiles', of course, with the Microsoft Launcher only partly filling the gap for my brain.
Your comments welcome though - how do you feel about shifting all of your Microsoft and Windows 'stuff' over to live on top of another mobile OS? Does it feel too much like leaving your partner for a new, younger one? Let the analogies rage!
PS. If videos are more your thing, I'm going to follow this up with a video walkthrough of the Microsoft experience on Android very shortly.

New Website Weaves More 'Harry Potter' Magic
News By TooFab Staff | 6/23/2011 10:36 AM PT
J.K. Rowling is a wizard when it comes to marketing.
Last week, the author of the "Harry Potter" series unveiled a new website named Pottermore, which bore her signature and the cryptic message "Coming soon..."
Fans speculated that Pottermore would be a Potter encyclopedia (to rival the popular fan-driven Harry Potter Wiki and MuggleNet sites) or a new entry in the series (either a prequel or sequel).
Rowling revealed Pottermore's contents in a news conference today. The website will serve as a supplement to the seven books, offering both new and old readers a bevy of new background material written by Rowling herself. The press release offers more details:
"In the new website, the storyline will be brought to life with sumptuous newly-commissioned illustrations and interactive 'Moments' through which you can navigate, starting with the first book, 'Harry Potter and the Philosopher's (Sorcerer's) Stone.' On entering, you choose a magic username and begin your experience. As you move through the chapters, you can read and share exclusive writing from J.K. Rowling, and, just as Harry joins Hogwarts, so can you. You visit Diagon Alley, get sorted into a house, cast spells and mix potions to help your house compete for the House Cup."
New users will be placed into Hogwarts houses by answering questions from the Sorting Hat (as the characters do in the novels) and gain custom magic wands, creating a totally customized experience. Users will also be able to contribute content as well. Check out a photo of the site:
"I wanted to give something back to the fans that have followed Harry so devotedly over the years, and to bring the stories to a new digital generation. I hope fans and those new to Harry will have as much fun helping to shape Pottermore as I have," Rowling wrote. "Just as I have contributed to the website, everyone else will be able to join in by submitting their own comments, drawings and other content in a safe and friendly environment – Pottermore has been designed as a place to share the stories with your friends as you journey through the site."
The website activates on July 31 -- Harry Potter's birthday -- but only to one million registered fans. The rest will have to wait until October for the website's official release. "Harry Potter" ebooks will be available via the site at that time too.
Of course, the timing follows the release of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II" on July 15 -- the final time Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint share the screen. Rowling's betting that fans will be hankering for even more Potter material after watching the final movie, and Pottermore will give them just that -- more Potter!

Letter W Firearms Glossary
A felt, paper, cardboard or plastic disk that is used in a shotshell. Also in muzzle loading, a piece of cloth used to seal the bullet in the barrel. It's purpose and function is the same as a shotgun wad.
A bullet designed with a full diameter flat point. It is primarily used in target competition because it cuts a clean round hole in paper targets that aids in scoring the target.
Abbreviation for wadcutter.
Abbreviation for Winchester Centerfire.
Anything that can be used in an offensive attack or in defense of an offensive attack. Guns are not necessarily weapons.
A gun can be used as a weapon, but so can a pencil, fist, car, a wad of paper or any other object used to attack or retaliate against an offensive attack. Even words can be used as a weapon.
Guns and other objects should be always called what they are; gun, rifle, pistol, pencil, knife, tomato or whatever they are. They should never be referred to as a weapon, EVER.
Some examples of the proper usage for the word "weapon" would be:
"One weapon used in the attack against the left flank was dirt clods".
"The marshmallow gun was the weapon of choice used in the accounting vs marketing skirmishes."
"The liberal leftists use words and restrictive controlling laws as weapons against the freedom of the people."
Weaver Stance
In the Weaver stance, the body is bladed partly sideways in relation to the target rather than squared towards it (think boxing or martial arts fighter stance). The elbows are flexed and pointed downward. The strong-side arm is slightly straighter than the weak-side arm. Even though the legs are not square to tharget, the hips should be square to the target. The feet should be pointed at the target. The shooter pushes out with the gun hand, while the weak hand pulls back. This produces a push-pull tension which is the chief defining characteristic of the Weaver stance.
Wheel Gun
Slang term for a revolver.
Wheel-Lock
An early firearm mechanism in which a wheel with serrated edges is wound against the tension of a strong spring and spins against a piece of iron pyrite, sending a shower of sparks into the pan to ignite the charge.
Wildcat Cartridge
A wildcat cartridge, or wildcat, is a custom cartridge for which ammunition and/or firearms are not mass-produced. These cartridges are often created in order to optimize a certain performance characteristic (such as the power, size or efficiency) of an existing commercial cartridge. Developing and using wildcat cartridges does not generally serve a purpose in military or law enforcement; it is more a hobby for serious shooting, hunting, gunsmithing and handloading enthusiasts, particularly in the United States. There are potentially endless amounts of different kinds of wildcat cartridges: one source of gunsmithing equipment has a library of over 6,000 different wildcat cartridges for which they produce equipment such as chamber reamers.
Winchester Centerfire
More commonly known as WCF, it is a family of centerfire cartridges designed by Winchester Repeating Arms Company
Winchester Rim Fire
More commonly known as WRF, it is a family of rimfire cartridges designed by Winchester Repeating Arms Company
Winchester Short Magnum
More commonly known as WSM, it is a family of centerfire cartridges designed by Winchester Repeating Arms Company
The setting on the sights used to accommodate the wind or adjust for horizontal (side-to-side) errors in the alignment of the sights with the bore of the firearm.
Wound Trauma Incapacitation
The correct technical term for the ability of a projectile to incapacitate an animal or human shot with a firearm. Incorrectly called Stopping Power.
Abbreviation for Winchester Rim Fire.
Abbreviation for Winchester Short Magnum.
Abbreviation for Wound Trauma Incapacitation.
3 Other Firearms Definitions You Need To Know
The rear end of a rifle or shotgun. (The portion that rests against the shoulder.)
High Kneeling
A shooting position in which one or both knees are touching the ground, but the shooter is otherwise erect.
Magazine Disconnect
Another term for Magazine Safety

Progressive Worlds is the mesmerising debut release from Berlin based quintet, Green Desert Tree. This is a powerful concept album which presents scenes from the life of its protagonist, Mat Plundrot a neighbourhood character known to composer and keyboard maestro Tim Sund. While the character existed, wandering the streets every day talking to himself, the events are fictionalised as the band invite us in words and music to immerse ourselves and imagine who he might have been and what made him into this person about to ascend to the heavens.
The first and last tracks use the device of the Balloni or Spheres painted in music to draw the listener in to this world of imagination and then bid the ultimate farewell. In between scenes are presented achronologically and as these present a conundrum in this patchwork of a life, so the music reaches out to a bewildering range of progressive stylings. Write out a who's who of progressive music and you will hear something inspired by all of them in here. But relax, this is not a mere case of copying styles of stealing riffs, more a true display of virtuoso showmanship, each time the form matches the content perfectly whether flirting with experimental jazz or melodically musing with the hey-nonny-no-ness of folk inspired prog. (I am relieved to report that there is mercifully little of the latter, but it would be remiss of me not to mention it). The range of this band is extraordinary. They seem to be able to master any style from Steven Wilson to full blown G'n'R. There is extraordinary confidence in this young band, juxtaposing airy ballads such as Life with darker elements within Plundrot's life hinted at by Beast Of Prey and the central motif of the eponymous track. Occasionally on something as ambitious as this, 'Even Homer nods,' as they say and this latter track betrays on of the minor faults of, to put it bluntly, going on too long, or certainly longer than the song merits. Others, more learned will disagree, I am sure, and it's a minor quibble (and an odd one for a prog critic, I know), but if I were to dare to pass on anything to this great bunch of musicians it would be to maintain a focus and resist the temptation to throw everything into every song. Sometimes even great material has to be cut for the sake of the overall concept.
But I wouldn't want to end on that negative note. Progressive Worlds does everything it says on the label. The worlds within this release are many, multi-layered, kaleidoscopic, engaging and immaculate in execution. Green Desert Tree are another incredible addition to the growing body of young German progressive musicians and a very exciting development in the progressive scene.

That would be nice, like on-line checking ;).
Safe for me to assume there is no way to get this itemzied listing like in the example I gave? my main concern is knowing if my point total is accurate. Turbine has already acknowledged there is a known defect with the Turbine Points system.
Right now I have around 400ish points but I have no idea if that is the correct amount or if I have been affecting by the known defect. If you had access to an itemized listing of how you earned and spent your Turbine points, you would know for certain if your account totals were accurate or not.
Would love to see this as well, we can only hope that they are proceeding on development.

British Airways: Unite Union Strikes Back
REUTERS/Toby Melville/Files
Despite BA winning a last-second legal injunction that effectively banned cabin crews from commencing a 20-day strike Tuesday, the Unite union has filed for leave to appeal, which should be heard later today. The airline, however, is putting a brave face on events despite the court decision coming too late for BA to reinstate a full schedule. It claims that at Heathrow airport, 90% of long-haul flights — and 50% of short-haul — are operating normally Tuesday. Breaking that down, it means a passenger list of 60,000 people should fly, compared with the 85,000 that's normal for this time of year. BA did confirm that Gatwick and London City airports are unaffected.
But here comes the ominous news for "the world's favorite airline": A successful appeal could see strikes going ahead later this month, and if Unite fails it said it will still ballot members again on industrial action. "Our members have more legitimacy in their strike action than the government sitting in Number 10," said Steve Turner, Unite spokesman. "We have the law saying that our ballot is unlawful. That's an affront to democracy."
In short, it's highly likely that the strike has merely been postponed; throw in the possibility that Iceland's volcanic ash could be causing havoc of its own for the foreseeable future and it's clear that air turbulence is taking on an entirely new meaning in 2010.
Watch the latest report on the strike here and listen to BA boss Willie Walsh here.

De De Mujhko – The Song
De De Mujhko Song Video
De De Mujhko Cast and Artists
In the mid 90s, shortly after the economic liberalisation of India and the influx of new things like satellite television and international brands of fizzy drink, we had a fairly vibrant pop-music scene for a while. Players new and old broke on to the scene with modern music, slick music videos and experiments in both good and bad taste. The important part was they were giving it a serious shot.
At the time Alisha Chinai had been a playback singer for Hindi films for close to a decade and she made her first serious stab at the pop-music market with an album called Bombay Girl. And what a stab it was.
With energetic music composed by Leslee Lewis, a music video by Ken Ghosh (who now continues to direct feature films on occasion), and a very in your face Alisha Chinai on screen, De De (the official tile) was quite the sensation. This was in no small part because of the blatantly sensual and provocative theme of the video. Keep in mind that while this was extremely tame and par-for-the-course in any western market, in India, where many heroes and heroines were still exchanging shy smiles across rooms and groping trees as their only show of on-screen passion, this was tantamount to pornography. The powers that be certainly thought so, because the government run Doordarshan TV network showed this video with the singer's cleavage pixellated. Yes, really.
Still, it was a heady time full of promise for the India that could be, a more broad-minded, more adventurous India. There were serious plans at around this time to start an adults-only satellite channel; Instead, as the decade came to a close, what we ended up with was a world of even more straight-jacketed domestic dramas and moral policing on both social and legal levels that are probably unprecedented in the country's short history as a nation-state.
With music that's still as rousing as it ever was, the video for De de mujhko by Alisha Chinai remains a quaint but telling marker of a time that was and what could have been.

The chart-topper first started leading worship when he was in the youth group around age thirteen. He graduated from school in 2002 after having attended Calvary Christian School in Vista, California. Worship leading was evidently in the genes as both of Wickham's parents were once in renowned Jesus Movement band Parable and his dad currently leads worship for his local church.
Phil Wickham's Christian Musician brother, Evan, also inherited the musical genes and serves on the worship team at Calvary Chapel in Vista. Evan eventually moved into pastoral ministry taking over the role of associate pastor at San Diego's Park Hill Church.
Phil's music journey was born when his parents, John and Lisa Wickham, supported him as he explored his love for Christian pop and praise songs, which eventually turned into a passionate career of writing his own. This career was launched as Phil embarked on a tour of California whilst writing and recording his first full-length studio album, Give You My World.
" Worship locally but eventually, three years after Giving You My World "
Phil Wickham: Album Artistry at its Finest
Phil Wickham as a Christian musician released his first album with Simple Records in 2003. As Phil's first full-time writing experience, he certainly made an impression on the Californian worship scene and you could tell big things were in store for this young musician.
With his combination of biblically grounded themes, contemporary lyrics and symbols, and rock-inspired electric guitar, much excitement arose, and with it came the expectation of a follow-up album.

Expecting Excellence from Newfound Talent Phil Wickham
Phil Wickham took his time touring and leading worship locally but eventually, three years after Giving You My World, he emerged onto the scene again with his self-titled album. The 2006 album showcased Phil's passionate pipes in what can be described as emotional ballads in which this young singer poured his soul out to God.
Wickham returned to work with Simple/INO Records too, just 12 months later, release his 2007 album Cannons. Once again, Phil displayed his mastery of contemporary, contextual Christian worship songs in tracks such as After Your Heart, Must I Wait, and title-track Cannons.
The album found its inspiration after Phil had toyed with the idea of cannon explosions, partly linked to C. S. Lewis's book, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, from The Chronicles of Narnia series. With more of an established voice in the industry, Phil described the symbolism of the album to reflect on "how the universe is exploding with the glory of God, and how we are compelled to join in with its song."
One of the tracks from the album, Jesus Lord of Heaven, has seen several reiterations as it has been translated into seven separate languages worldwide.
The Start of the Singalong Series
Phil Wickham's next album was hard to forget and set up a series of three releases to date entitled Singalong, Singalong 2, Singalong 3, and Singalong 4. The first album was recorded live and released on the 8th of August in 2008. Phil recorded the album singing in front of 3,000 people at Portland's Solid Rock Church.
To make it accessible to all, Wickham decided to release Singalong as free to download from his official website. This turned out to be an impressive move with the album receiving 8,000 downloads in its first week of being available. Singalong elevated Wickham's visibility in the Christian music scene and helped his self-titled release to reach #25 on the iTunes Store Top Christian Albums, even though it had been 24 months since its initial release.
Phil Wickham Striding from Strength to Strength
With his success evident, Wickham ran with the momentum and came up with a new album release the following year in 2009 in the form of Heaven & Earth. It was in 2010 that Wickham ventured into the Christmas scene, releasing his successful album simply titled Songs for Christmas in 2010. This would be a trend to stick around as Wickham has since seen the release of two more Christmas albums, both doing extremely well.
One of Phil's strengths is taking the traditional and contextualizing it to the contemporary music scene. This added freshness and flavor to the Christmas albums, allowing them to be accepted well by his fan base.
Phil Wickham as a Christian Musician has released 5 albums since 2010, all exceeding the success of the previous. One standout was his fifth studio release, Ascension, for which the musician wrote his hit song This is Amazing Grace. Written with Jeremy Riddle who had ties to Bethel Church at the time, the pair produced a delicious duality of fresh, imaginative lyrics, and driving rock melodies to wow fans into a new era of Christian worship.
Wickham is most well-known today for his latest full-length studio release entitled Living Hope. On the album we see him put his head together with names such as Brian Johnson and Kristian Stanfill to release a number of instant hits such as the title track Living Hope, Song in My Soul, Tethered, and the list just goes on.
36-year-old Phil Wickham is a family man nowadays, spending his time raising three delightful daughters and enjoying life with his wife Mallory.

As new information emerges daily around the coronavirus and as the search for answers continues, the risk management and patient safety experts with the Cooperative of American Physicians, Inc. (CAP) would like to ensure that physicians and medical communities across California have access to the most reliable resources to remain aware of the latest strategies in treatment, protection, and prevention.
Statewide Prevention Efforts
[Webinar] Virtual Care: The Next Medical Frontier
In this webinar, Dr. Shahin Korangy, MD, MPH will address the fundamental challenges many physicians experience when implementing virtual care programs and will provide a framework for a successful operation. Register now.
The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) is working closely with the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) to respond to the outbreak of this novel coronavirus.
CDPH is providing information to local health departments and healthcare providers across California on how to safely and effectively evaluate patients. The state will continue to monitor the situation, work with partners to identify any possible cases, provide information and consultation to ensure that possible cases are managed safely, support laboratory testing, and implement recommendations from the CDC.
Information for Physicians and Medical Practices
The CDC recommends that front-line healthcare personnel in the United States be prepared to evaluate patients for 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV). A checklist highlighting key steps for healthcare personnel in preparation for transport and arrival of patients potentially infected with 2019-nCoV is available at https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/downloads/hcp-preparedness-checklist.pdf.
If a patient shows up at your office with a fever and/or cough, place a facemask on the patient and take them to a private room or separate area. It is also advisable to do a phone screening of patients prior to their appointments. If there is suspicion of a patient who may be ill or who may have been exposed to the coronavirus (2019-nCOV) they should contact their public health department as well as infection control personnel at their healthcare facility. Offices should have enough supplies of masks, gloves, gowns and goggles available for staff.
The links and contact information for local health departments in California are available at https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Pages/LocalHealthServicesAndOffices.aspx.
CAP has launched a COVID-19 resource page, which will continually be revised with key guidance and current best practices. You may view that page here: https://www.capphysicians.com/articles/cap-covid-19-resource-center.
Criteria to Guide Evaluation of Patients Under Investigation (PUI) for 2019-nCoV
The CDC clinical criteria for a 2019-nCoV patient under investigation (PUI) have been developed based on what is known about MERS-CoV and SARS-CoV and are subject to change as additional information becomes available. For the most up to date and accurate information, please visit cdc.gov and https://www.cdph.ca.gov/.
Patients in the United States who meet the following criteria should be evaluated as a patient under investigation (PUI) in association with the outbreak of 2019-nCoV in Wuhan City, China.
1) Fever AND symptoms of lower respiratory illness (e.g., cough, shortness of breath)
–and in the last 14 days before symptom onset,
History of travel from affected geographic areas. Relevant affected areas will be defined as a country with at least a CDC Level 2 Travel Health Notice. See all COVID-19 Travel Health Notices.
Close contact with a person who is under investigation for 2019-nCOV while that person was ill.
2) Fever OR symptoms of lower respiratory illness (e.g., cough, shortness of breath)
Close contact with an ill laboratory-confirmed 2019-nCoV patient.
The criteria are intended to serve as guidance for evaluation. Patients should be evaluated and discussed with public health departments on a case-by-case basis if their clinical presentation or exposure history is equivocal (e.g., uncertain travel or exposure). More information and instructions for reporting, testing, and specimen collection is available at https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-nCoV/clinical-criteria.html.
The CDC has provided a helpful flow chart at https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/hcp/identify-assess-flowchart.html to help practices implement a smooth evaluation process for proper assessment and identification of the disease.
CAP recommends that physicians utilize the above screening questions first and, if necessary, inform patients that the office cannot test for the virus and direct them appropriately based on symptoms (Urgent Care, Emergency Department). If patients arrive with a cough or fever, utilize a mask for them and provide a secluded place for them. Consider alternatives to face-to-face visits when possible, such as a telephone visit with a patient in need of a prescription refill. The CDC has released further guidelines for healthcare facilities to prepare for and respond to community spread of COVID-19 while protecting healthcare personnel and non-COVID-19 patients, which can be reviewed here.
Offices should have their local public health department phone numbers available for questions and other advice. A complete list of California Local Health Departments and their contact information can be found here.
All hospitals should be ready to care for Coronavirus patients. Unlike Ebola patients that require care in specialized care facilities, patients with COVID-19 may present to any hospital or urgent care clinic. Every hospital therefore should have a plan to care for a patient with possible or confirmed COVID-19. Even if confirmed positive for COVID-19, the patient will be cared for at that hospital and will not be transferred unless directed by the Department of Public Health.
The CDC has provided more detailed instructions for physicians, healthcare providers, and facilities on infection control, minimizing exposure in your facility and practice, clinical care, personal protective equipment (PPE), and more at https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/hcp/index.html.
The CDPH has released updated guidance for schools, colleges, large public events, employers, workers and elder care/congregate living facilities to prepare and protect Californians from COVID-19, along with other information for the general public, at https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/OPA/Pages/NR20-015.aspx.

The Scandinavian developer may not have reached the heights of some of its contemporaries, but it has surely gained a good reputation and a solid following across the online gambling audience. Awarded in the categories of innovation for its creative work and contribution to the development of web-based casino culture, Quickspin casino games developer didn't escape our radar. Quickspin is a relatively new software provider but leads a dynamic business so far. The company released several dozen titles that come down to Quickspin slots. Quickspin games feature no other gambling games but slots. It may be the clear vision of channelling every effort towards slots just the thing that elevated the brand in the eyes of thousands of users worldwide. Let's find out more about the Quickspin casino software provider and discover the best Quickspin casinos online.
Check our collection of free Quickspin slots and give them a try in the free demo mode.
Check this Quickspin casino list of some of the best Quickspin casinos online and Quickspin casino bonuses.
Founded in Stockholm in 2012, the company acquired a great background in hiring a team of experts and seasoned software developers. Still tapping into the craftsmanship and designing abilities earned working for companies like NetEnt, the Quickspin team quickly showed the world that it knows what it's doing. You'll often find Quickspin slots offered as a part of Microgaming's Quickfire platform. Thanks to that exposure, the brand became instantly recognisable and its products shared among a larger number of online casinos.
In recent developments, Quickspin became part of the Playtech group in 2016. We are still not aware of any changes this business move might introduce. In the meantime, we can enjoy all the fabulous slots that this software provider has launched so far. As it is expected from a modern up-and-coming firm, the Stockholm-based provider creates games based on HTML5. That being said, we confirm that Quickspin slots can easily be accessed from any mobile device. Without any desire to branch out into developing other popular casino games like bingo or card games, Quickspin remains faithful to slots. It is noticeable that there are no branded slot machines in their portfolio. Their focus is on creating authentic, visually stunning slot games without outside influences.
So let's talk about Quickspin slots. There aren't as many of them online as one might want, that's a fact. However, the important thing is they are all high-quality products that entertain and offer a profit.
Browsing through dozens of brilliant titles, we've noticed the tendency of releasing slots themed on fairytales and legends. Beowulf and Big Bad Wolf are perfect examples of this.
They've also released Goldilocks and The Three Musketeers. But we'll get to those in a minute. In general, Quickspin slots are known as unique casino games with low variance and high return to player rates. In terms of special features, they haven't come across as revolutionary but do feature some unexpected innovations.
Quickspin likes to explore new approaches to Wild symbols and multipliers. They are often included in unconventional bonus rounds and generate additional winnings. Visually, Quickspin slots boast amazing graphics and slick animations. Several titles benefit from Cascading Reels, also called Swooping Reels.
Undoubtedly, the most famous Quickspin slot and the pride of all Quickspin casinos is Big Bad Wolf. A 25-line video slot revolves around three little piglets and their big bad saboteur. Don't let the innocent design fool you; Big Bad Wolf is action-packed. High paying symbols turn into Wilds, Swooping Reels replace the standard reel spinning, and there are also multipliers and free spins.
Next on our list is Genie's Touch. This one combines Arabic elements with magic and fantasy. You wouldn't expect any less since it concerns a genie in a bottle. The combination of bonuses is engaging, but only if you appreciate the theme.
Let's go back to fairy tales. At Quickspin casinos you can also find the Crystal Queen slot based on Andersen's story about the Snow Queen. You can spin the reels of Goldilocks and face the three bears or try out Treasure Island or The Epic Journey if you prefer a higher level of adventure.
As it seems, any piece of imaginative writing or legendary account is what inspires the software developer the most. There have been some leaps into the modern slots category with Illuminous, for example. Going further away from fantasy, fables, and magic, Illuminous is straightforwardly abstract. We can't wait to see what will be the new additions to Quickspin casino sites and in which direction will the company go next.

Text of letter to President Bush
Posted by commcom on Aug 25, 2004 in Uncategorized | 0 comments
Below is the text of a letter Max Cleland attempted to deliver to pResident Bush at his Ranch in Crawford, TX today. The letter was signed by nine Senate Democrats, all veterans. Cleland was turned away from the ranch by secret service.
Dear President Bush,
We, the undersigned members of the United States Senate call on you to specifically condemn the recent attack ads and accompanying campaign which dishonor Senator John Kerry's combat record in the Vietnam War. These false charges represent the worst kind of politics, and we agree with both Senator John McCain and Senator Kerry that a firmly established service record in the United States Military is fully above reproach. As veterans of the armed services, we ask that you recognize this blatant attempt at character assassination, and publicly condemn it.
Our outrage over these advertisements and tactics has nothing to do with the tax code or campaign finance reform efforts of this nation. Our pain from seeing these slanderous attacks stems from something much more fundamental, that if one veteran's record is called into question, the service of all American veterans is questioned. This administration must not tacitly comply with unfounded accusations which have suddenly appeared 35 years after the fact, and serve to denigrate the service of a true American patriot. The veterans serving today should never have to expect this kind of treatment, when the wars of their generation have passed into history. We brothers and sisters in arms expect our Commander in Chief to stand up and reject this assault upon John Kerry's honor, the honor of American veterans and that of the United States Navy.
As you yourself have said, there is nothing complicated about supporting our troops, and the leaders of this nation should make it clear that the members of our military will not only be supported when they wear the uniform, but also when they return home to the land they fought to defend. Their valor and their wounds, both physical and psychological, make them heroes for as long as they live, a status which should not and must not change simply because they seek to enter public service. We Senators and Congressmen who wore the uniform served in different branches of the military and belong to different political parties, but we join together today to defend a fellow veteran from attacks we know to be false, and politically-motivated slander that has no place in our democratic process.
Mr. President, as Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces, we believe you owe a special duty to America's combat veterans when they are under false and scurrilous attacks. We hope you will recognize this duty, and speak out against this group and their efforts to smear the reputation of a man who has served this country nobly.
Call on this group to cease and desist. We can return this campaign season to a discussion of the issues on either side, and restore faith in the political system. As Americans, we should expect nothing less.

Das Depot von Tuchlovice (auch Hortfund von Tuchlovice) ist ein Depotfund der frühbronzezeitlichen Aunjetitzer Kultur aus Tuchlovice im Středočeský kraj, Tschechien. Es datiert in die Zeit zwischen 2000 und 1800 v. Chr. Das Depot befindet sich heute im Museum von Kladno.

Fundgeschichte
Das Depot wurde erstmals 1913 erwähnt. Das Datum des Funds, die Fundumstände und die genaue Fundstelle sind unbekannt.

Zusammensetzung
Das Depot besteht aus zwei Bronzegegenständen, die Tilmann Vachta beide als Ösenhalsringe klassifiziert, Václav Moucha hingegen als einen Ösenhalsring und einen Ringbarren. Da sich beide Stücke sowohl in ihrer Form als auch durch ihre Patina deutlich unterscheiden, ist unklar, ob sie tatsächlich zusammen gefunden wurden.

Hi, my name is Adi Ulmansky
Helen, 2. April 2015 music, news, stories
Tags: adi, electronica, hi, interview, israel, music, tmts
HI, MY NAME IS ist der ziemlich einfallslose Titel für eine kontinuierliche Interview-Reihe mit talentierten Fotografen, Musikern, Künstlern und inspirierenden Persönlichkeiten unserer Zeit. Diesmal freue ich mich ganz besonders darüber, euch eine ziemlich talentierte Sängerin und Produzentin aus Tel Aviv vorzustellen. Die Rede ist von ADI aka Adi Ulmansky. Einige von euch werden hier bestimmt schon öfter über Ihren Namen gestolpert sein, da wir ADI das erste mal während des Telekom Music Talents Space Workshops (kurz TMTS) im Dezember kennengelernt haben. Kürzlich trafen wir sie erneut auf dem Electronic Beats Festival in Prag und luden sie in ein typisches Prager Jugendstil Café zum Interview ein. Es wird Zeit endlich mehr über die israelische Produzentin zu erfahren. Was sie inspiriert, bewegt und warum sie gerade dabei ist, einen Traum zu leben, erfahrt ihr nun ganz persönlich und ausführlich von ihr.
— Adi in dem Prager Jugendstil Café "Kavárna Obecní dum"
I AM ADI
First of all: I'm an artist, another musician. Because I don't consider myself "a musician" even though it is what I do. I see it more like a whole thing and the music is only a way of expressing it. I would also say that I'm a producer and maybe colorful, even if I'm dressed today totally in black.
You sing, you rap, you produce. How would you descrive in a few words your music? It's made of…?
It's just a combination of beats that I try to make it as underground as I can. Generally it's electronica but lately the music is a bit changed than what you heard the last time in Berlin. It's more r'n b and down tempo now. A bit more quiet and not that aggressive thing. I feel a lot better with it.
How did everything started?
It started when I was really young. First I sang and with about 17 years I started producing. I fell in love with electronic music lately. Before I listened to Radiohead and stuff like that and my brother was the one who was going crazy for house and electronic music. I was asking him: "Oh, how you can listen to it all day long?" I didn't really liked it a the beginning but after a few years I felt the connection you can reach between songs and beats producing this kind of music. So I found my way to express myself. And that was it. Singing is fun but it's not the same at all. It takes a lot of time to find your own style. For that I'm even changing from step to step. But I feel even that I come slowly closer. For example: Rapping! From one moment to the other I was asking myself: "Why you are doing this?". Rap, it's not really me. So I changed even this part of my music lately.
So you would even say that your personality and the changes in your life influence your music?
Absolutely! It's amazing to see how the changes in my life going hand in hand with my music. For example I discovered a year ago this label called Soulection from L.A. I listened to their stuff and it changed my whole sound. For me it's nice to know that people can see how I grow up and develop my style. Some will like it less, some will like it more, but I always try to do it in the way that shows who I am. The most authentic one.
You worked with other musicians like Johnny Goldstein or Borgore. And you had even your own band. Do you prefer to interpret on your own or with others? What makes the difference?
I must say that my save place is to be for my own. That's the way I feel most comfortable. It's like dancing in front of the mirror. There is no one and you can do whatever you want. Going crazy and trying things and if it doesn't work, fuck it! But I even have to say that lately I started to do some collaborations with other producers. And first of it I was so scared because I wasn't use to it. But the final product was really cool. It's nice to work with another person that has his own skills and see what comes out if you work together. I think I just have to find a good balance: doing my own stuff and working with people that I really appreciate.
Who would be the musician with who you really would love to play on stage?
Frank Ocean. That's always my answer! I'm in love with him!
When I look at your style or watching your videos and even your instagram account, I always thought that you are a real visual-thinking person. So I was asking myself: Where you find your inspirations?
I'm always looking for new stuff. I'm spending a lot of time and searching for new ideas on fashion and art blogs. But fashion doesn't mean really "fashion" for me. It's more about finding a way to express yourself and to understand the colours you feel connected with. Now I have to shoot the cover for my new album, so I was looking constantly for ideas. Then I found this cool thing, which I gonna shoot when I will get back to Israel. It will be a kind of gypsum mask that will cover my whole head and face and leave only my mouth out.
I just trying to be not only a cute and pretty girl that sings and has sex appeal. I try to make it different. We will see if it works.
I just mentioned that you made some real interesting videos, for example with Borgore. Your followers on Instagram and Facebook are constantly growing. How important are social media channels for you?
I think in general it's important for everyone because it's the most common thing today. I mean there are a lot of musicians that are not doing it by themselves but for me it's basically. I'm a generation that grew up with it. As a teenager I was addicted to icq. You remember it? (laughs) If I don't have internet or wifi today I'm really… urgghhh… going crazy! I just enjoy social media! I don't see it like a duty. It's a nice way to be connected with other people.
Last year you spend some days in Berlin during the workshop week of the TMTS? What are your greatest memories of this week when you are throwing back?
The main thing that comes to my mind is that it was freezing! (laughs) But with out joking: it was one of the most amazing weeks last year. I felt to be part of something that really helps me to step up. Since this time I really feel to make progresses. You can't really say it just now, but it feels like all the things are moving. The tour now with the Band Bilderbuch, tons of videos, my first vinyl! It's amazing! But a special moment I remember of this week was one of the first nights we were all out in a restaurant. In this moment it wasn't a competition. Everybody was bonded and in the same boat. And that was great!
The Telekom Music Talent Space will support you for the upcoming months. What are the next steps?
I finished two EP's now. One will be released after the other. And we are working on videos. But there is even this vinyl now with four tracks from the album, and that's really exciting for me. I mean, it's a vinyl, it's a dream! (laughs)
I remember that you've chosen the light performance coaching during the TMTS. It helped to develop your shows on stage and how does it work?
Now it's a bit different from the concert a FluxBau because we have these really cool LED "ADI" letters. But I'm still working together with Bertil and Clemens. Clemens will be with me for the whole tour with Bilderbuch and he is a drummer. So I have the sensation that he really plays together with me. It effects the show in a way I cannot explain! I hit and he hits with me. He knows all the songs and it's really fun!
You are living in Tel Aviv. How would you describe this city with few words?
Sunny, happy, creative.
And if I ever should come to Tel Aviv where I should go?
I think Tel Aviv has some of the coolest night clubs. "The Block" has one of the best sound systems in the world, so you should really visit it. Then there is another place which is more indie and hipster with many live gigs. It's name is "The Passage". And finally I would recommend you to experience the food! The food especially in Jaffa is amazing!
You ever thought about to move away from Israel?
I thought about quiet a lot. I even moved for a while to London with my ex-band. The only reason why I still stay in Israel is for my boyfriend because he runs a business there and it's not easy for him to leave. I really love my family and I want to be close to them, but who knows, maybe I will go away one more time for a while.
And where you would love to have a gig in the future?
The first place where I would love to be on stage is "KOKO" in London. It is really a dream! The second is not a specific place, but I nominate L.A. because it's one of my favorite cities. And the third one is "Berghain". Not the Kantine then, where I already played.
If the love of your life would be a song, which one you would choose?
It's Björk and the name of the song is "Cocoon"
Would you reveal us a dream at the end of the interview?
Maybe to work with producers that I really love. Like James Blake or Flying Lotus.
Last but not least: Your question?
So, when and why you will come to Israel?

Following the completion of XL Group plc's cquisition of Catlin Group Limited on May 1, XL and Catlin have officially joined operations and launched a new brand, XL Catlin. As of now, XL's insurance and reinsurance operations will use the brand name XL Catlin. The parent company will remain XL Group plc.
XL Catlin's CEO Mike McGavick said, "We believe that the specialty and complex risk [re]insurance space is where the greatest opportunities exist for a [re]insurance company like XL Catlin to make the greatest impact.

XL Catlin's new marketing campaign – "Insurance for a Bold New World" – reflects the specialty [re]insurer's commitment to a heightened level of collaboration and forward-thinking to create a new level of insurance innovation needed to address businesses' complex problems.
New "Insurance for a Bold New World" advertisements invite businesses to talk to XL Catlin companies about insuring new ideas ["Insure that idea no one has seen yet"], products ["Anyone got any better ideas"] and innovative business models ["Anyone thinking intergalactic tourism"].
Also launched today is the company's new website, xlcatlin.com, to share information about XL Catlin's broad product portfolio and new position in the market.
The new XL Catlin brand launches today in various business publications, insurance trade journals, online networks, and in placements at major transportation hubs such as London's Liverpool Street Underground Station, and Frankfurt, Paris Charles De Gaulle, Zurich and Bermuda's L.F. Wade International Airports.
XL partnered with Venturethree, a London-based global brand studio, to develop the new brand, with London-based creative agency Atomic London to create and design the advertising campaign, and with Investis, an international digital corporate communications and investor relations company, in launching the new xlcatlin.com.
