The New AP History Course Is Gritty, But Not "Un-American"
By Alicia Lu

America isn't perfect, as our history can attest — slavery, the Trail of Tears, Ferguson. And that's exactly what the College Board wanted to reflect in its new Advanced Placement (AP) U.S. History curriculum, because it's the truth. But some Republicans are against the new AP U.S. History course, claiming that it's inaccurate, radical, and politically biased. In essence, what they're claiming is that the new AP course is un-American, and that it should focus on our country's achievements. But history classes aren't PR campaigns, and there's nothing un-American about facing the truth and learning from your mistakes.
Like an episode out of some 1950s McCarthyist manual, conservative Republicans like Peter Wood, Glenn Beck, and the Republican National Committee are attacking the new AP U.S. History course for promoting a critical view of the good old U.S. of A. According to Jane Robbins, education fellow of the conservative American Principles Project, and Larry Kreiger, a retired AP U.S. History teacher, the new curriculum presents a "consistently negative view of the nation's past."
The College Board is not taking the criticisms sitting down. In a statement to the LA Times:
Many of the comments we have heard about the framework reflect either a misunderstanding of U.S. history or a very limited faith in history teachers' command of their subject matter.
The curriculum is, after all, just a framework. It's the teacher's responsibilities to flesh it out however they see fit.
And encouraging critical thinking isn't the same thing as imparting specific opinions and perspectives. The goal, according to the College Board, is to have the students come to their own conclusions by exploring larger themes, rather than memorizing the same dates and names they have been since elementary school. Under the new curriculum, students are assessed on their understanding of "big ideas" like Identity, People, Politics and Power, and America in the World. And some of those big ideas relate to the uglier side of American history.
Conservatives are campaigning for the College Board to change its curriculum before school commences, when 500,000 enrolled students will be taught this new "un-American" course. The Republican National Committee is even urging Congress to defund the College Board until the course can be rewritten "without political bias." A breakdown of some of the major changes...
Less Ideology, More Facts
While our elementary school teachers may have used historical events to illustrate American democracy and other founding principles, the new curriculum reveals the whole truth. For example, the section on American colonialism talks about a "strong belief in British racial and cultural superiority" while Manifest Destiny reflects "a belief in white racial superiority and a sense of American cultural superiority."
Stanley Kurtz, a columnist for the conservative magazine National Review, wrote that interpreting Manifest Destiny and American history in this way effectively:
... forces teachers to train their students in a leftist, blame-America-first reading of history, while omitting traditional treatments of our founding principles.
In the new curriculum, some key figures like Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson don't make appearances, while George Washington is mentioned in just one sentence. In their defense, the College Board reminds the critics that the curriculum is for a college-level course; it's not the students' first U.S. history rodeo.
Upon reaching AP level, students are expected to already be on familiar terms with the Founding Fathers. What the new course aims to do is have the students take the historical facts they've accumulated over the course of their education and apply it to larger discussions while developing their own points of view on American history.
Some people did not take kindly to these omissions. John Aman, Director of Communications of Christian organization Truth in Action Ministries, wrote for WND Education that in place of the Founding Fathers, the new curriculum depicts early European settlers as villains who disrupted the Native American society, brought "widespread deadly epidemics," a "caste system," and slavery.
The Real Truth About War
Another major complaint with the new AP course is its discussion on war, which forgoes the usual heroic tone used to perpetuate the patriotic values. Instead, it encourages the students to look at the conflicts from all sides. For example, the framework suggests discussing "wartime experiences, such as the internment of Japanese Americans, challenges to civil liberties, debates over race and segregation, and the decision to drop the atomic bomb [which] raised questions about American values."
But Ken Mercer, a member of the Texas School Board and a Republican, refuses to teach all this "negative stuff" in his classroom. For him, American history is about patriotism, and there's nothing more patriotic than winning wars.
"Those great generals in the Civil War, crushing Germany in World War II, that's all that really stands out to me," Mercer told Vice. "There's nothing in [the curriculum] about our military and all those victories."

Wisdom teeth sometimes cause pain as they erupt. Some discomfort is to be expected as the teeth push through the gums. However, persistent pain could be caused by the positioning of the teeth. For instance, wisdom teeth that are not properly aligned may present in a sideways manner that places great amounts of pressure on adjacent teeth and consequently causes discomfort.
Pain can also be caused by gum inflammation around a wisdom tooth. Sometimes, a wisdom tooth only presents partially. The rear portion of the tooth may remain covered by a hood of gums that forms a pocket around the tooth. This pocket can trap food, bacteria and plaque that can irritate the gums. The resulting inflammation can cause swelling, pain, and bleeding.
The inflammation may remain until the trapped material is cleaned from the pocket. Although removing the matter may improve the condition of the gums, unless the wisdom tooth is extracted, the condition can recur.
Wisdom teeth that present in a sideways manner can cause dental misalignment even if the teeth do not erupt from the gums. If your teeth start to take on a crowded appearance even though you have had no prior problems, the issue could be caused by your wisdom teeth.
To determine the placement of a wisdom tooth that has not presented, your dentist can take dental x-rays. If he or she determines that the wisdom teeth are unable to present in a normal manner, the dentist may prescribe surgical extraction. Since the teeth are below the gum line, the gums need to be cut away to access the teeth for removal. Once the teeth are removed, the other teeth may settle back into proper position. However, if they do not, alignment applications, such as braces, may be required.
If your wisdom teeth have not been removed, schedule an appointment with a dentist in your area to have them assessed. He or she can advise of whether or not the teeth should be extracted.
For wisdom teeth removal, contact an office such as Family Medical Dental Center.

A poster for the Ryszard Legutko lecture, covered by a flier advertising his views on gay rights, in Davis Family Library.
UPDATE — Wednesday, April 17: The college has canceled Legutko's lecture, citing security risks. Professor Keegan Callanan said he has already invited Legutko to speak again on campus next year. Click here for full coverage.
An upcoming lecture by a far-right scholar and member of the European Parliament has renewed the college's ongoing debate over the difference between free speech and hate speech, and whether those accused of the latter should be allowed to speak on campus.
Ryszard Legutko, a scholar and far right member of the European Parliament from Poland, has made incendiary remarks about LGBTQ activists, tolerance and multiculturalism, and is a critic of liberal democracy. Legutko was invited to speak by the Alexander Hamilton Forum, a series founded last year that "aims to foster thoughtful engagement with the ideas that have informed the creation and development of the American polity." The talk, which is co-sponsored by the Political Science Department and the Rohatyn Center for Global Affairs, will be held tomorrow, Wednesday, April 17 at 4:30 p.m. in Kirk Alumni Center.
Student activists have planned a performance protest in response. The protest will take place outside of the lecture and is, in part, intended to be a celebration of queer identity. Protesters plan to hold signs, play music, and throw a dance party. They will also hand out pamphlets informing attendees of Legutko's views. Protest organizers will be shuttling protest participants to the center from Adirondack Circle, starting at 3:45 p.m.
An advertisement for the Legutko protest was scrawled onto a chalkboard in Bicentennial Hall.
"It is absolutely, unequivocally not the intent of this protest and those participating in this protest to prevent Legutko from speaking. Disruptive behavior of this nature will not be tolerated," wrote Taite Shomo '20.5, an organizer of the protest, in the official Facebook event.
After the Facebook event for the protest went live, the director of the Hamilton Forum, Assistant Political Science Professor Keegan Callanan, wrote an open letter in defense of the lecture.
When a Campus reporter reached out for an interview, Callanan replied only with a copy of the letter. Callanan did not respond to additional questions asking how speakers for the Hamilton Forum are selected and whether the forum's organizers were aware of Legutko's history of controversial views prior to inviting him to campus. He also did not answer inquiries about the Hamilton Forum's source of funding, which has not been made public.
Russian Professor Kevin Moss, who studies gender in Eastern Europe, first encountered Legutko's position on tolerance and the LGBT community last week when he saw that Legutko had made incendiary comments about homosexuality on a Polish news channel.
"Through my colleagues in Poland I became aware of what else he had said, and what his views were, and it turned out that the 'demon' in democracy that he is referring to is tolerance," Moss told The Campus.
Legutko's views are shared throughout his right-wing, populist Law and Justice Party, which holds the most seats in Poland's legislature. The party was responsible for a now-reversed law that instituted jail time for suggesting that Poland was complicit in the Holocaust, and recently came under fire from the European Union (EU) for attempting to amend Poland's courts in ways that threatened the state's separation of powers. Legutko and his party also oppose expanding rights for gay Poles.
After discovering Legutko's controversial views, Moss shared his findings with members of the Gender, Sexuality and Feminist Studies Department, inclusivity groups and Political Science professors.
The information spread and several student initiatives opposing Legutko's visit materialized over the last few days, the most prominent among them a queer-focused protest of the lecture.
Word about the protest has spread by way of a Facebook event page, entitled "Ryszard Legutko is a f*cking homophobe (and racist and sexist)." The page's go-link, go/homophobe, has been advertised on chalkboards and posters across campus. Some have written the go-link on the official lecture posters.
Students work on signs to be used at the protest of Ryszard Legutko on Monday, April 15.
Protesters are mindful of the discipline that student protesters faced following the Charles Murray protest. "We decided that it would be better for the safety of students who want to be involved in this protest if we did not try to stop Legutko from speaking," Shomo said.
In the lead up to the protests, activists also drafted an open letter urging the Political Science Department and Rohatyn Center to rescind their sponsorship of the lecture. The letter quotes Legutko's past statements, and has been signed by hundreds of students, dozens of student organizations, and several faculty members.
Erik Bleich, chair of the Political Science Department, responded to the open letter with a letter of his own.
All seven members of the Rohatyn student advisory board denounced the center's endorsement in a letter to The Campus.
The Hamilton Forum also has a student fellows program. The Campus reached out to Linda Booska, the Political Science Department coordinator and listed contact for the Hamilton Forum, and inquired about the names of the fellows, which are not listed on the website. She did not respond. The Campus asked both Booska and Callanan whether students were involved in the selection of speakers. They did not respond. In the course of reporting, The Campus also learned that one of the forum's main student coordinators advised other students involved in the forum not to speak with Campus reporters in order to keep "out of any potential public battle," though they said the decision to do so was ultimately theirs.
The forum also has a three-member steering committee: Political Science professors Murray Dry and Allison Stanger and former Vermont Governor Jim Douglas '72.
Students watch the Political Science departmental panel at Dana Auditorium Tuesday afternoon, April 16.
On Tuesday afternoon, the Rohatyn Center and Political Science Department hosted a panel discussion in Dana Auditorium as a prelude to tomorrow's lecture.
The panel brought Political Science professors Gary Winslett, Katherine Aha and Russian Professor Kevin Moss together to discuss their respective expertise on liberal democracy, the rise of the Law and Justice Party in Poland and the anti-gender movement in Eastern Europe. Bleich moderated the event.
In the question and answer period after the panel, students grilled Bleich about the Political Science Department's decision to sponsor the lecture. Students also raised questions about extra credit being offered for attending the lecture, criticized Bleich's decision to approve Callanan's request to sponsor the lecture, and drew connections to the protests associated with Charles Murray's lecture over two years ago.
The tradition has been that sponsorship requests submitted by a member of the department are automatically approved. Bleich responded that he was open to discussing the way that speakers are approved by the department, but said he would be hesitant to implement a system in which faculty members vet their colleagues' requests.
Despite divisions, students and faculty appear united in their common goal of not stopping the lecture. Moss, in particular, is looking forward to asking Legutko tough questions.
A Campus reporter will be on hand to cover tomorrow's lecture.
Correction: A previous version of this article stated that Callanan had advised students in the Hamilton Forum not to respond to requests for comment from Campus reporters. This directive actually came from a student coordinator. We regret the error.
"The Hamilton foundation has no ideological litmus tests," but also no standards. The problem with providing a platform to these speakers isn't just their ideological commitments; it's the failure to adhere to scholarly standards in their work. Certain members of the Middlebury community who are repeatedly involved in the invitation of "heterodox" speakers such as Mansfield, Murray, and now Legutko seem not to be able to tell the difference between heterodoxy and unsubstantiated speculation. Given this history, one might think that the Rohatyn Center has a responsibility to independently research (i.e. Google) invited speakers rather than relying on the information provided by organizers, who have themselves proven unreliable arbiters of academic merit.

Menopause hormones don't shorten lives, long follow-up says
By Associated PressSept. 12, 2017
APSTock
CHICAGO — Taking hormone pills for several years after menopause didn't shorten older women's lifespans, according to the longest follow-up yet of landmark research that transformed thinking on risks and benefits of a once popular treatment.
That research was halted early when unexpected harms were found from using replacement hormones — estrogen alone or with progestin — versus dummy pills for five to seven years. More breast cancer, heart attacks and strokes occurred in women on combined pills, and those on estrogen pills had more strokes.
But about 18 years of follow-up show that despite those risks, women had similar rates of deaths from heart disease, breast cancer and all other causes as those who took dummy pills.
The new results are reassuring and support current advice: Hormones may be appropriate for some women when used short-term to relieve hot flashes and other bothersome menopause symptoms, said Dr. JoAnn Manson, preventive medicine chief at Boston's Brigham and Women's Hospital and lead author of the follow-up report.
"It's the ultimate bottom line," said Manson, who was also part of the original research. Women want to know "is this medication going to kill me" and the answer appears to be no, she said.
Results were published Tuesday in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
Related: Menopause really does affect memory, researchers find
Hormones were once considered a fountain of youth for women entering menopause because of weak evidence suggesting a host of purported benefits including reducing heart disease and boosting memory. The landmark research, backed by the U.S. government, began in the early 1990s to rigorously test hormones' effects in older women randomly assigned to take the pills or dummy treatment. Brands studied were Prempro estrogen-progestin pills and Premarin estrogen-only pills.
The results led to advice against taking hormones to prevent age-related diseases. When used for menopause symptoms, the lowest possible dose for the shortest possible time was recommended, then as now. For some women already facing health risks, hormones' potential harms may outweigh any benefits, and discussions with a doctor about starting the treatment are advised.
Participants were aged 50 to 79 and past menopause, older than typical users, and took larger doses than currently recommended.
The follow-up involved most of the more than 27,000 women who were part of the original research. It included time using pills and about 10 or so years after stopping. Some earlier follow-ups suggested no increased risk of death in hormone users but Manson said this is the first to focus only on deaths from various causes.
Overall, almost 7,500 women died — about 27 percent each in the hormone and dummy pill groups. Most deaths occurred after women stopped taking hormones. About 9 percent of women in both groups died from heart disease and about 8 percent from breast and other cancers.
Trending Now: Tracking the bird flu, experts see a familiar threat — and a virus whose course is hard to predict
Among the youngest women, there were fewer overall deaths early on among hormone users than dummy-pill users, but the rates evened out after women stopped using the pills.
Overall, death rates were similar among women on both types of hormone treatment versus dummy pills.
Prempro and Premarin are both approved to treat menopause symptoms and to prevent bone-thinning osteoporosis. Even so, many women and their doctors remain wary of hormone use. An editorial published with the follow-up study says the results "will hopefully alleviate concerns" about the long-term consequences.
More research is needed on risks and benefits of other types of hormones including patches, Manson said.

If that is true why does the OB?GYN, who gives lupron that creates menopause, then give hormones. If the writer of the article will e mail me I will give the place to go and see whole truth.

After i saw avatar i thought , Hey! I can do that!
Yea well here it is!
Landing was really stiff especially the legs, the particles were really lazy, there was no physics, etc.
Tje landing wasn't eased very well. He should've fell faster though.
Kinda the same as all the others, but I think the particals wernet that lazy.
It was too stiff mate.
DUdes is got a tablet!
Your animations remind me of a young me. You animate like I used to. Whats keeping you back is the rush. Don't rush the animation, take your time and make it epic. Detail your beams, and backgrounds. More importantly make them realistic. Which you obviously must know easing for. So for example on realism, dont make a stick who got a light jab punch go flying. The last thing is that you need to get rid of some slight stiffness, sharpshooter taught me that you can never completely get rid of stiffness.
So the trick is to make it not visible. Make something else non stiff so that the focus isn't on the frozen legs or what not. Anyways, overall not to bad, go over some of the basics again take your time on making an animation. Your around medium - High begginer in my eyes.
if you'd put his back leg back just a little more it would make more sense for the jump to go that direction. good everywhere else.
Btw, I've been away to long, are there any good pivoteers in the section?
Or are you the only one worth it?
scarecrow, I LOVE UR SIG MAN. THAT WAS SO AWESOME.
Ehm idk all the good pivoters.
I liked it. Even if the legs were stiff, it's a good animation.
No , I think you are true.
I know , but i don't like the way they move in avatar.
Its like they wanna poo or something.
Being inspired by something is different than copying something.
So poppetje3D could whatever the **** he wanted, he didn't need to copy anything.
It IS scarecrow's sig, just not mine.
But the rest was good.

I've tried the following code, but I get the error: "ReferenceError: Headers is not defined". So I don't think I have to create an instance of the class Headers.
import * as restm from 'typed-rest-client';
...
var restc: restm.RestClient = new restm.RestClient(
  'api.openweathermap.org',
  'https://api.openweathermap.org',
);
var temperaturePath = '/data/2.5/weather';
var apiKey = 'xxx';
var headrs = new Headers();
headrs.append('appid', apiKey);
headrs.append('q', location);
headrs.append('units', 'metric');
var requestOptions = {
  additionalHeaders: headrs
};
const response = restc.get(temperaturePath, requestOptions);

A: you need to use IRequestOptions which is stated below.
export interface IRequestOptions {
    // defaults to application/json
    // common versioning is application/json;version=2.1
    acceptHeader?: string,
    // since accept is defaulted, set additional headers if needed
    additionalHeaders?: ifm.IHeaders,

    responseProcessor?: Function,
    //Dates aren't automatically deserialized by JSON, this adds a date reviver to ensure they aren't just left as strings
    deserializeDates?: boolean
}

And IHeaders
export interface IHeaders { [key: string]: any };

Sample code:
let options: IRequestOptions = {additionalHeaders: {'key' : 'value' }};
let rest: rm.RestClient = new rm.RestClient(param1, param2, param3, options);

Nuns also established clear social hierarchies inside their particular institutions. Like most of the women featured in the current exhibition, Juana de Jesús ( ) skilled ecstatic visions in which she embraced, mothered, and tended to the Christ youngster. In Juana's case, these miracles had specific resonance because she first entered Quito's convent of Poor Clares as an abandoned toddler. Juana ultimately turned a lay sister in that same convent, and she cared for an orphaned toddler inside her cell. She supposedly used the sacred paintings and sculptures that adorned the convent to instruct the boy in the religion and drew inspiration from the purity and simplicity of his devotion. For Juana, as for a lot of religious women at the time, love of the infant Christ and affection for real youngsters thus became deeply intertwined. Spanish women take excellent care of their pores and pores and skin generally, and they don't make exceptions with their faces.
When the first chair stepped down, Otero-Warren took her place at Alice Paul's request. Otero-Warren was politically well-linked and revered all through the state for her educational work. Her father had been an influential local leader before he had been murdered by Anglo squatters on his land grant. Her stepfather's later political appointment brought her household to stay in Santa Fe where her maternal uncle was a significant politician who had played a key position during the state constitutional convention. She used these connections in her fight for suffrage and likewise performed a key function in making certain that the state legislature ratified the 19th Amendment in February 1920.

Armed with financial security and the political clout of lengthy-established Spanish-speaking families, New Mexico's Hispanic women represented a formidable political drive. Without New Mexico as one of many thirty-six states that ratified the Amendment, it might well not have passed. And the state's vote to ratify would not have happened without the help of the Hispanic community or the advocacy work of Hispanic suffragists. The next yr, New Mexican women shaped an official state branch of the NWP and elected Nina Otero-Warren as state vice-chair.
Although it had appeared like certain victory, there was a final-minute problem with wavering legislators. Otero-Warren fiercely lobbied, utilizing her new position as chair of the GOP state women's committee to caucus with legislators and self-discipline their votes. The 1915 Santa Fe suffrage parade is an effective example of American women's cooperation across ethnic strains.

Jury in officer-involved shooting to come from Philadelphia
Special to the Capital-Star
(Photo via Flickr Commons)
By John N. Mitchell
PHILADELPHIA — The protracted squabbling over whether a jury of Philadelphians could rule fairly in a high-profile shooting of a Black man by a white former police officer is over.
On Monday, Common Pleas Court Judge Barbara A. McDermott ruled that a jury of Philadelphians will decide the outcome of ex-cop Ryan Pownall, who is facing murder charges in the June 2017 shooting death of David Jones
The case is set to be heard on Jan. 6, 2020.
"I think that it's a good thing," said Jones' father, Tommy Jones, who is currently living in Jonesboro, Georgia, and is planning to attend the trial. "It's the smart thing to do — to have people who are at least familiar with the case to be on the jury. They have knowledge of the situation. Why would you want someone who is not at least somewhat aware of the case?"
Since Pownall was charged, his attorneys have argued that the media attention surrounding the case will make it impossible to empanel a jury without biases.
But "any time where there is a white police officer or law enforcement officer, no matter where the jury comes from, as we've seen in the past, there is potential for bias on the jury," said activist Asa Khalif. "I'm hoping because of the officer's past — this isn't the first time he's shot a Black man in the back — that we'll see justice done here."
Ryan Pownall, 37, allegedly shot Jones, 30, in the Juniata neighborhood on June 8, 2017. He initially was suspended for 30 days and then fired in September 2017.

Pownall was charged with homicide in September 2018 after the District Attorney's office and a grand jury investigated the shooting. He is the first Philadelphia police officer in about two decades to be charged in a use-of-force incident.
The grand jury investigation found that Pownall instigated the confrontation with Jones, and that Pownall shot Jones twice in the back while he was unarmed and running away.
Pownall encountered Jones riding a dirt bike illegally near the 4200 block of Whitaker Avenue. Jones pulled into the parking lot of a nightclub, and Pownall followed, according to the grand jury report.
At the time, Pownall was transporting three people — two of them children — in his patrol car to the Special Victims Unit, according to the report. Deviating from the transportation was against police policy.
Pownall exited his patrol car, walked up to Jones and reportedly said: "I'm taking your s–t."
Pownall claimed that Jones suspiciously turned sideways away from him, which justified frisking him, and Pownall felt a firearm, according to the report.
An altercation ensued between Pownall and Jones, although details vary.
"He [Pownall] then got behind Jones, drew his gun and put that service weapon to the back of the man's head," according to the report.
During the altercation, Pownall attempted to shoot Jones, but his gun jammed, according to the report. Jones broke free from Pownall and ran back toward an intersection.
Surveillance video showed that "Jones' hands were empty as he ran, and that he never turned or gestured in a threatening manner toward Pownall as he ran," according to the report.
Pownall allegedly fired at least three shots toward traffic. One bullet struck Jones, but he kept running. A second bullet cut through Jones' spine, lung, aorta and esophagus, according to the report. Jones was taken to Temple University Hospital, where he later died.
No gun was found in Jones' possession.
However, a 9-mm handgun with 14 live rounds was recovered 25 feet from where Pownall and Jones were engaged in the altercation and in the opposite direction of where Jones fled, according to the report. The recovered firearm allegedly was similar to one found in images discovered on Jones' cellphone.
Pownall reportedly told a fellow officer after the shooting that Jones had thrown the gun, according to the report.
Pownall had been involved in a prior shooting. In 2010, Pownall shot Carnell Williams-Carney, who had a gun, in the back as he fled.
Williams-Carney was left paralyzed. He filed a civil suit against the city and the police, and lost in 2013.
Jones' family also filed a civil suit against the city and the police, and the two parties reached a $1 million settlement last year.

200 Gray's Inn Road is a broadcasting mecca. Based in the heart of London, this iconic building is host to multiple TV giants such as ITN, ITV and Channel 4. To enhance the space and reflect the creative nature of the building, some stylish lighting was required for the building's reception.
Luminous textile panels were ready to make a grand entrance. These large surfaces project vibrant colors that change and move, creating a unique and inspiring atmosphere. At the same time, they soften sound and absorb echoes, making the space more welcoming. Five of these panels were mounted in a bespoke aluminum framework behind the reception desk.
The new installation creates an 'art wall' within the reception that has an immediate impact on people entering the building. Because of the way the panels are angled, the appearance seems to change as people approach, delivering a captivating first impression.
"The luminous textile panels are a very exciting addition to the reception" said Ian McArdle. Plans have since been made to extend the reception area, and Luminous textile panels will continue to play a key role in maintaining a vibrant and exciting environment.

The last time Clive Owen was spied in the skies of L.A. it was as the brand ambassador in these Three Olives Vodka billboards, but this time the British actor is back for a brand new TV show on Cinemax, The Knick.
He stars as 'Dr. John W. Thackery' unlocking the secrets of modern medical techniques at the start of the 20th century at New York's Knickerbocker Hospital in Stephen Soderbergh's new drama.
The new series follows the lives of the groundbreaking doctors and nurses as the push the boundaries of established medical practices, with high mortalities and the absence of antibiotics.
There's something about this stark clinical creative which looks futuristic, even though it's set in the past.
It's almost like a scene from Terry Gilliam's 1985 Brazil movie, and maybe that's because the techniques trialed then may have seemed outlandish and extreme at the time.
The standard landscape billboards for the series debut of The Knick were first spied along Sunset Boulevard and Melrose Avenue on July 8, 2014.
Meanwhile the spectacular super-sized Cinemax creative was snapped towering over L.A.'s westbound Sunset Strip on July 11, 2014 (which should make Clive Owen fans sequel with delight).
If these outdoor ads tickle your fancy, be sure to check out more Cinemax TV billboards for shows like Banshee, Strike Back and Hunted.
Let's hope this new medical drama series will be as pioneering as the methods discovered during the time period and not just a bloody mess.
And get ready to enjoy another TV WEEK full of this season's billboard creatives for the newest shows and returning favourites in the days to come.
UPDATED: Here's also an amended "Truly Bold" first season ad creative for The Knick's Emmy consideration campaign.
These striking billboards were snapped along La Brea Avenue and Pico Boulevard on May 20, 2015, and are part of sister channel, HBO's cohesive 2015 Emmy Consideration outdoor ad campaign, so be sure to check them all out.
UPDATED: If you're a fan of the acclaimed period medical drama set in New York City, here are the season two billboards from around the streets of L.A.
André Holland, Clive Owen and Eve Hewson are back to deal with problems of substance abuse, race, romance and typhoid at the turn of the century, all the while continuing to be pioneers of surgical and medical practices.
These black and white sophomore season billboards were first spied along Santa Monica Boulevard in West L.A. on September 23, then later above the Sunset Strip in West Hollywood on September 26, 2015.
UPDATED: Here's also the season two Emmy consideration billboard for the 'absolutely riveting' series, spotted at San Vicente and Sunset Boulevards on May 27, 2016.

Glaucoma is a painful disease that can lead to loss of vision for your pet. Ask your veterinarian about Dorzolamide Hydrochloride Ophthalmic Solution. It is indicated for use in the treatment of elevated intraocular pressure with ocular hypertension or open-angle glaucoma. Dorzolamide HCL also lowers the risk of nerve damage and loss of vision, something every pet owner wants.
If any side effects occur (swelling, hives, difficulty breathing), stop using Dorzolamide HCl on your pet and contact your veterinarian. Do not touch the dropper to any surface, including the eyes and hands. If it becomes contaminated, it could cause an infection in the eye.
Hydroxyethyl Cellulose, mannitol, sodium citrate dihydrate, sodium hydroxide (to adjust pH) and water for injection.
Follow the directions as prescribed by your veterinarian.


the question arises why did I bother to decorate the Dining Room last week? Answers on a postcard please.
Another nano adventure has taken place with yours truly and a non Steve taking on the Kington 8 peaks challenge, an event set for September sponsored by Red Kite Fostering so we thought it best we recce the route and take part. This is the view from the top of Bradnor Hill, the highest gold course in England which as we all know is a good walk ruined.
Much poring over maps had given us what we thought was the optimal route, the question needed answering as to whether it was better clockwise or anti.
We decided anti and here we are heading off Rushock towards Herrock with Offas Dyke pointing the way to the Bonsai Mountain in the centre distance.
A better view of the Bonsai sat in the middle, that would be our destination in about an hour and half.
and a steep climb saw us at the top.
and claiming Worzel Wood summit where we can see the effort needed and the Bonsai Mountain lurking in the background.
turned into a full on race to to beat the turn in the weather.
Back at Red Kite HQ, job done, smiles all round, 4 hours 46 minutes, 13.09 miles, av pace 21.53 per mile climbing 2464 feet overall. Route was good, have to be quicker on the day to get in the medal table!
Yesterday in an effort to prevent cabin fever after a week of confinement due to illness, bit of hyperbole, in other words thanks to man flu I have not been training, I got out on the hill on a 13 mile route march and found this green menace growing rapidly. Its back, really early this time.
Talking of early birds, I saw a house martin today. Again a bit earlier than usual. About 5 pm.
The dove cote has landed. Not sure what happens next.
Dawn saw a fantastic sunrise so I headed off up the Bonsai Mountain again with the demi clan.
Despite his lack of crutia ligament Mr Bear still makes it to the top.
Looking back across yesterdays peaks.
Spotty and WooZah in the distance.
WooZah lying down on the job.
As part of the Kington Walking Festival, Red Kite Fostering are sponsoring the 8 Peaks Challenge which links the 8 big hills north of Kington into one masochistic trail. As it was a sunny afternoon and part of this years man test is to canter up and down the three biggest mountains in three countries of the UK yours truly decided to recce the last half of the route and 12 minutes after setting off found himself at a point where it stopped being easy.
a great view of the Bonsai Mountain.
but once again I found myself on a summit, one I have always looked at and wondered how to get there.
So here yours truly is, very happy with Worzel Wood and the Bonsai Mountain waiting to be bagged below and behind me.
If only it was as easy going as this all the way.
It was in fact mightily difficult with ample opportunity to get lost in disney style woodland where I met the forest folk, deer, rabbits and squirrels all watched my progress (lack of) with a big buzzard flying ahead of me down an avenue of fir trees. I totally expected to hear Snow White singing in the distance.
I crossed the last flat bit before heading skyward again.
as it was the steepest and longest route, here we are looking back over Worzel and out towards Stanner, the last two peaks bagged.
where at the bottom my supporters welcomed me with rapturous applause. Or not. 2 hours 8 mins for 10km, as my school report says, could do better, meanwhile I am crawling off the die quietly. Well not too quietly as I'm a bloke.
Its been a long time since the last explosion but this silly girl managed to gorge herself on horse feed, basically mugged the horses as yours truly did not stand and supervise, goats having terrible table manners,Alana could not help herself, or rather she did, and so the inevitable happened, or is about to happen as she was not got to in time with the goat diffusion kit. I made her as comfortable as possible and sandbagged the area and waited. Shortly after this pic she went bang and is now an ex goat.
Playing "Who's that trip trapping over my bridge"
with the tiniest of brains. So he's sat on the rickety old bridge.
With just enough room for Spotty to squeeze by.
Progress on all fronts and the wrong Steve.

The securitisation of climate change
Ben Grace | Climate and Energy Security Fellow
Image credit: Royal Australian Navy (Creative Commons: Twitter)
In 1992, world leaders gathered at the Rio Earth Summit to discuss growing challenges to sustainability. They resolved to create the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change — a legal instrument to prevent "dangerous human interference" with the climate. Despite this, carbon emissions have risen approximately 60 per cent since the framework was ratified.
The greatest minds in climate science are telling us that we're running out of time to reduce our carbon footprint. A landmark report released by the World Meteorological Organisation said we need to increase emission reduction efforts fivefold to keep warming at sustainable levels.
Considering the history of inaction, this may seem like an unrealistic target. But there is cause for hope. Some nations are taking the approach of securitisation to combat climate change — a process which involves turning a normal political issue into a 'security' issue. This allows governments to take urgent action to respond to security threats.
For those of us who are keenly aware of the dangers posed by climate change, securitisation makes perfect sense. Indeed, when global warming is framed as a distant environmental threat, it tends to fall low on the list of political priorities. However, when treated as an immediate danger to national security (as is being done, for example, by low-lying pacific island nations) then it receives the attention it deserves.
But the securitisation of climate change has seen mixed success on the international stage. Lack of support from unconvinced voters and weak climate policies have undermined previous efforts. Most notably, the Rudd Government's attempt to securitise climate change failed when public support for climate action declined, and when the gap between his fiery security rhetoric and his relatively conservative climate policies became apparent.
It's fair to say that securitisation could play an important role in addressing the climate crisis, but only if we overcome these barriers. Therefore, to increase public awareness and encourage more ambitious climate policies, it's worth detailing key threats posed by climate change and how they impact national security:
Loss of life
Perhaps the best argument in favour of securitisation is the considerable threat to life posed by climate change. A 2018 World Health Organisation report estimated that the current rate of warming will lead to 250,000 deaths per year between 2030 and 2050, with children in developing nations being most at risk.
To appreciate the severity of these figures, it's worth comparing them against conventional security threats. Per annum, climate change is expected to cause more than twice as many deaths as current wars combined and over 11 times the number of terrorism-related deaths.
Natural disasters and economic losses
While climate change doesn't necessarily cause natural disasters, it certainly amplifies their impact. According to the World Economic Forum, economic losses associated with climate change related disasters have soared by two and a half times in the last 20 years.
The cost of climate-related disasters is already severe. Major financier Morgan Stanley estimated that in the last 3 years damages attributed to climate change totalled $650 billion. This may seem steep, but it's a modest sum compared to the $54 trillion in projected damages by 2040.
As the world's population continues to boom and the global middle class expands, greater demand will be placed on agricultural yield. By 2050 we will have an additional 1.5 billion people to feed, requiring an increase in agricultural productivity of 60 per cent.
But climate change poses a direct threat to agribusiness. With each degree of temperature rise, key crops lose approximately 10 per cent of their yield. Changes to rainfall patterns, crop and livestock viability, pest migration patterns and increased frequency and severity of natural disasters will also place a significant burden on farmers.
Mass displacement of vulnerable populations
Environmental degradation, natural disasters and food and water scarcity are expected to create a refugee crisis on an unprecedented scale. At current rates of warming, 200 million (or one in every 45) people will be forced to flee their homes by 2050, with large parts of Africa, Asian megadeltas and small island nations being particularly vulnerable.
War will likely follow as a result of new displacement patterns and competition over depleted natural resources. As securitisation theorist Prof. Ole Wæver warns, areas with existing cultural tensions where refugees will have to cross national borders (like in Africa or South-East Asia) will act as a catalyst for "military conflicts".
These threats certainly aren't an exhaustive list, but they do highlight prominent security concerns which justify an urgent and committed response to climate change. If we want to meet the strict emissions targets to keep warming at sustainable levels, then securitisation could be the key.

The BBC should do more to ensure it shows alternatives to gay stereotypes, according to a report.
The study, commissioned by the corporation, found lesbian, gay and bi-sexual (LGB) people wanted to see more positive depictions on screen and on air.
It stated: "In particular, they want to see more lesbian women and depictions of bisexual identity, as well as alternatives to stereotypes of gay men."
It also found heterosexual people, who identified themselves as being "comfortable" with the way gay people were portrayed, wanted an approach "broadly the same".
Ben Summerskill, chief executive of pressure group Stonewall, said: "The BBC is a hugely important part of our cultural glue and belongs to everybody. It's right that everyone in modern Britain should be reflected in its output.
"These findings confirm those of Stonewall research in recent years which show that both gay and heterosexual licence-payers want to see more realistic, incidental representations of gay people on their TV screens.
"We recognise the BBC has taken some steps forward in recent years and we're very pleased that it now intends to embed that progress."
The study found most people said they were comfortable with the portrayal of LGB people or did not feel strongly about it. The 18% who who said they were uncomfortable with it said scenes of "emotional and physical intimacy" were the main problem.
More than 2,000 people took part in the survey and the corporation also held a public consultation which got more than 9,400 responses.
Recommendations based on the report have been made to Director General Mark Thompson. Among them are that the BBC achieves "accurate and authentic portrayal of lesbian, gay and bisexual people".

South Korea launches manhunt for soldier who killed 5 comrades
South Korean soldiers stand guard at a temporary checkpoint during a search for the South Korean conscript soldier who is on the run after a shooting incident, in Goseong June 22, 2014. PHOTO: Reuters
South Korean special forces joined a manhunt on Sunday for a soldier who killed five comrades in a grenade and gun attack at a base near the North Korean border, and once dawn broke military helicopters began scouring the forested hillsides.
The soldier shot dead five of his fellow unit members and wounded seven others late on Saturday at a outpost in the base at Goseong county, a mountainous region that borders the North on the eastern coast of the peninsula.
He then fled into the night carrying a firearm, ammunition and a grenade, according to military officials.
Yonhap news agency named the soldier, and gave more details of what happened at the base. "Sergeant Lim was to be discharged three months later on September 16," Yonhap reported. "He first threw a grenade and then opened fire. He was returning after completing his day shift duty."
The shooting comes at a sensitive period for South Korea, with the nation still in shock after the death of more than 300 people, mostly school children, in a ferry disaster in April.


If you're testing OpenRefine on things like Digital Ocean, use at least a 3GB server, ideally more.
If you use a 2GB server and default OpenRefine start settings, you may find it stalls on start and just hangs, particular if you are running it via a Docker container.
So be warned: when testing Java apps in Docker containers / Docker Compose configurations, use max spec, not min spec machines.

Jennifer Lopez, Marc Anthony Reunite 1 Month After Split
By Us Weekly Staff
Michael Tran/FilmMagic
Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony's divorce proceedings have taken a backseat to their two children, 3-year-old twins Max and Emme.
PHOTOS: Jennifer and Marc in happier times
The former couple, who announced their split July 15, were seen in the backseat of a red convertible near Sagg Main Beach in Southampton, New York, TMZ reports. (See the photo here.)
PHOTOS: All of Jennifer's exes
According to 42-year-old Anthony's rep, the Latin crooner was in town to visit his children. (In addition to his two kids with Lopez, Anthony has three additional children: one out of wedlock, and two with his first wife, Dayanara Torres. It's unclear which children Anthony was visiting.)
VIDEO: What went wrong in J.Lo and Marc's marriage?
An insider recently told Us Weekly that Anthony isn't quite over his ex, 42, who signed on for another season of American Idol Wednesday.
"His mood shifts from blaming her to begging her to take him back to telling her she is destroying his life," the insider told Us. While hashing out the details of their impending divorce, Anthony was "being difficult on every little point…He wants to prolong things so she reconsiders."

1: What is your opinion of the value of the article with respect to the business community? Why?
The article is useful to the business community because it addresses two important issues (operation research and management science) that are essential to the success of every enterprise. Businesspeople can learn many lessons based on the research work published in the article entitled, "2003 Franz Edelman Award for Achievement in Operations Research and the Management Sciences" (Graves 1).
ORDER BUSINESS PAPER NOW
Firstly, the award-winning Canadian Pacific Railway developed a decision support system that was targeted at creating a scheduled railway. This system helped the company to formulate an integrated operating plan that would accommodate 7,000 daily shipments by using 65,000 railcars to over 20,000 paired destinations (Graves 3). This system allowed it to make good use of its resources such as the human capital, locomotives, and rail yards. Business enterprises can use this approach to cut down on their operating costs. Additionally, many companies in the package delivery industry have problems on how to design routes for aircraft and thereafter assign fleets evenly to achieve reliable and efficient plans for routine shipments. In collaboration with MIT, the UPS created an optimization-based planning system that enables aircraft managers to manage their delivery plans 24 hours in advance (Graves 3). Other companies operating in the package delivery industry can use this system to prepare for their package deliveries in advance.
Moreover, the supply chain management system of an organization contributes significantly either to its success or its failure. An inefficient supply chain management system always leads to increased distributional costs that lead to arise in prices of goods and commodities. However, Hewlett-Packard Company designed software that would model the company's supply chains (Graves 4). This tool addresses several possibilities of failures that can be realized in the supply chain failure and improves the efficiency of the entire supply chain process. Business operators whose target is to increase the efficiency of their supply chains can adopt this system since it cuts down on commodity costs.
2: What is your opinion of its value with respect to this course?
The article has adhered to the threshold addressed in the quantitative methods course. Each of the six operations research and management science systems that were designed and tested by the six finalists has some measurable aspects. In quantitative methods, the impact of change realized from the adoption of any particular process or system should always be measurable. Firstly, the Canadian Pacific Railway was able to cut down on its operational costs by $500 million by using the decision support system for scheduling railway (Graves 2). These costs were accumulated over a period of 5 years starting from the year the company began to use the rail decision support system.
Furthermore, the adoption of an optimization system that can be used for integrating the company's trucking operations and routing the aircraft delivery service by the Menlo Worldwide Forwarding helped the company to increase its operating margins by 40 percent and decrease its operating costs by 21 percent in the fiscal year ended 2002 (Graves 3). Additionally, the company was able to cut down on its total operating costs by $ 80million in the same financial year. Moreover, the quantitative method approach has also been factored in the adoption of the package delivery system that was developed by UPS. The use of this system helped the company to cut down on the company's costs by $100 million..
Besides, the adoption of an upgraded supply chain management system by the Hewlett-Packard Company enabled the company to reduce its costs enormously. For example, the Company saved a total of $130 million following the adoption of that system by its management (Graves 4). Likewise, the adoption of the management science approaches and models by the Texas Children's Hospital in partnership with the PROS Revenue Management helped the hospital to reduce incidences of risk by 25 percent in addition to increasing its revenue collection by $ 17 million. (Graves 4).
Lastly, the Bank Hapoalim B.M. of Israel also adhered to the quantitative method approach in the adoption of the Opti-Money, a decision support system that helps its relationship managers to advise individual customers on financial investment. For example, the bank used the system to serve 63,000 customers on 133,000 occasions in the financial year ended in 2002 (Graves 4). However, by the second month of the subsequent year, all the company's customer relations managers were using the Opti-Money system.
3: Provide a Three-page summary of the article
The article entitled "2003 Franz Edelman Award for Achievement in Operations Research and the Management Sciences" was published by Interfaces (Graves 1). It presents the six finalists and winners of the prestigious 32nd Annual competition for the Franz Edelman Award that is focused on recognizing the achievements made in both Operations Research and the Management Sciences profession. As the chairperson, Thomas Spencer III oversaw this annual event, while Stephen C. Graves edited the article. These annual competitions are jointly sponsored by CPMS and INFORMS (Graves 1). The rewards are presented to individuals or organizations that have depicted proof of significant developments in the Operations Research and Management Science. These systems must meet the verifiability and quantitative thresholds. A panel of highly experienced coaches, verifiers, and judges are always tasked with the responsibility of testing the above named two absolute limits.
Similarly, six best contributors to the Operations Research and Management Science profession were selected for the 32nd Annual Franz Edelman Award. Their systems were subjected to similar scrutiny with the first project being awarded $10,000 and a sum of $500 going to each of the six authors (Graves 2). Additionally, all the works of the six finalists were published in the prestigious Interfaces Journal. The six best projects are discussed below.
To begin with, the Canadian Pacific Railway that designed a decision support system that can schedule a railway grabbed the first slot. This system helps rail companies to manage all its resources efficiently. The system works towards minimizing the company's costs and increasing its efficiency. It helped the company to maximize the output of all its resources such as human capital, locomotives, railcars, and rail yards. The Canadian Pacific Railway in partnership with the MultiModal Applied Systems developed an integrated operating system that would lead to increased efficiency in the use of resources of the company (Graves 3).
The UPS Corporation that collaborated with MIT won the second slot for designing an optimization-based planning system that would help players in the package delivery industry to plan for deliveries 24 hours before actual deliveries are made (Graves 3). It would ensure efficiency with regards to both reduced time wastage and increased volume of goods handled. Further, the Opti-Money decision support system was developed with the aim of helping the bank managers to advise their client's financial, investment, and asset management matters. This system was adopted by the largest Israeli bank, Bank Hapoalim B.M., and received a high level of reception in the banking industry.
Besides, the Texas Children's Hospital collaborated with the PROS Revenue Management to formulate management science approaches and models that would address the two greatest shortcomings in the healthcare industry: risk reduction and poor revenue collection. This system was helpful in decreasing risk-related cases by 25 percent and increasing the organization's revenue by $17 million (Graves 4).
The Menlo Worldwide Forwarding Corporation that deals in heavyweight airfreight made another notable contribution to the Operations Research and Management Science profession (Graves 4). It designed an optimization system that tracks its operations and checks all aircraft deliveries by using technology. Lastly, the design of a more integrated supply chain management system by Hewlett-Packard helped it to cut down on its operating costs such as the distribution and storage significantly. Additionally, it also helped the company to increase its sales margins by reducing the prices of its commodities, thereby attracting more customers.

hi what is the best way to get from here to kelpwna airport please?
I would talk to the hotel about their airport shuttle, it is usually cheaper than a taxi. They are situated right on the motorway from the airport so either is an easy option.
Is the pool open now? Please answer asap as i am staying at the hotel soon. Thank you.
We have to go to the Kelowna Thoracic Center. They suggested this hotel as there are discounts for the patients and family members. Do we have the right place? If so could you provide details and how far is the Inn from the Thoracic Center?
IS the pool open right now?
How far in advance should one ask for a non-smoking room at the back of the building in a new room?

Guide the students in creating programs that use the radio communication blocks to send and receive data between two micro:bits.
In the simulator, a radio transmission icon will appear in the top right corner of the micro:bit. The icon will light up as the micro:bit is transmitting data.
In the simulator, all the code in the coding workspace runs on both virtual micro:bits. You should include for how to send data as well as what to do when it receives data.
Send and receive strings between micro:bits. On button A pressed, we will send the string Marco and on button B pressed we will send the string Polo.
When communicating between micro:bits, it is important that the micro:bits involved are all using the same group ID. So, the first thing we will do is set the group ID number.
From the Radio menu, drag a 'radio set group' block to the coding workspace and place the block into the on start block.
Add a 'show leds' block to the 'on start' block. We created an image of the initials MP.
From the Music Toolbox drawer, drag 2 'play tone' blocks to the coding workspace. See hack your headphones for how to connect a speaker or headphones to the micro:bit.
Drag one of the 'play tone' blocks to the 'on button A pressed' block, and the other one to the 'on button B pressed' block.
Change the default value in the 'play tone' block that is inside the 'on button A pressed' block to the value Low C.
Send and receive numbers between micro:bits. Depending on the button pressed, send a different number value between micro:bits. On receiving a number, display a different image unique to the number sent. One number will represent a dot, another a dash and another a space or stop.
Set the group ID number.
Add a 'show string' block to the 'on start' block, to identify the program.
Drag 3 'on button pressed' blocks to the coding workspace.
Leave one with the default value A, change the value in the second block to B, and change the value in the third block to A+B.
From the Radio Toolbox drawer, drag 3 'radio send number' blocks to the coding workspace.
Place one radio send number block into each of the 'on button pressed' blocks.
In the 'on button A pressed' block, leave the default number value of the 'radio send number' block as 0.
In the 'on button B pressed' block, change the default number value of the 'radio send number' block to the value 1.
In the 'on button A+B pressed' block, change the default number value of the 'radio send number' block to the value 2.
From the Radio Toolbox drawer, drag an 'on radio received receivedNumber' event handler to the coding workspace.
Since we will display a different image depending on the number value received, we need a logic block.
From the Logic Toolbox drawer, drag an 'if…then' block to the coding workspace and place it in the 'on radio received receivedNumber' event handler.
In order to know whether to display a dot, a dash, or a space/stop image, we need to compare the number received to the values 0, 1, and 2.
From the Logic Toolbox drawer, drag a 0=0 comparison block into the coding workspace.
Replace the default value 'true' of the 'if…then' block with the comparison block.
Leave the righthand side default value of zero in the 0=0 block.
Place a 'show leds' block in the space after the then of the 'if…then' block.
Create an image to represent a dot.
Does this cause a dot to be displayed on the receiving micro:bit?
However, pressing button A again does not appear to send another dot as the image on the receiving micro:bit does not appear to change.
Challenge question: How can we fix this?
Try running the program again. Now each time the sender presses button A, you see a dot appear.
You can now right-click on the 'if…then' block and select Duplicate to copy that piece of code twice for the other 2 values that a sender may send.
Change the values on the righthand side of the comparison block to 1, and 2.
Challenge question: Can our code be made more efficient?
Can we edit the code to use only one 'if…then' block, one 'pause' block, and one 'clear screen' block? Yes!
Remind students that they can edit the 'if…then' block, adding as many 'else if' conditions as needed. They can do this by clicking on the (+) or (-) symbols on the 'if…then' block.
A final else In a conditional that might receive a number of different values, it is good coding practice to have a catch-all 'else' clause. In our example, if any number value other than the ones we coded for (0,1, and 2) is received, we can signal the user that an error has occurred by using a 'show icon' block to display an X.
The pause and clear screen Rather than repeat these lines of code 3 times, we can move the 'pause' block and the 'clear screen' block outside of the edited 'if…then…else' block.
Now our program runs as we designed it to run and is more efficient, too!


WALL ST THE WEEK AHEAD | City A.M.
WALL Street navigated some potent obstacles last week – Greece's elections and the Federal Reserve's slashing its US economic growth forecasts – but the drama is not over.
Investors say big gains will be hard to come by amid signs of slowing growth .
The S&P 500 posted its second-biggest daily decline of the year last week. Trading is likely to be volatile in the final week of the quarter as headlines from Europe drive sentiment.
The market also is awaiting a US Supreme Court ruling on the Obama administration's healthcare overhaul, and that decision will mean winners and losers in the healthcare sector.


London, UK - Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications AB ("Sony Ericsson") announces today that its net sales and net income before taxes in the second quarter of 2008 continue to be negatively affected by moderating demand of mid-to-high end mobile phones, in combination with a delay of new products shipped during the quarter.
Although final results may differ, Sony Ericsson plans to ship approximately 24 million phones during the second quarter of 2008 with an estimated ASP (Average Selling Price) of EUR 115. Gross margin is expected to decline both year over year and sequentially. Net income before taxes is estimated to be about break-even.
Sony Ericsson plans to announce the second quarter 2008 financial results on July 18 at 7:30 am UK time/8:30 am CET.
