NFL Week 14 MNF: Baltimore Ravens vs Cleveland Browns
In the dying weeks of the 2012 NFL season, the online sports books could not believe how many of the top seeds from both conferences started to experience problems putting lesser teams away. The Houston Texans ended the season with a two-game losing streak, the Packers lost its last game of the season and the San Francisco 49ers got completely humbled by the Seattle Seahawks in week 16. What the heck is going on? Why are these top teams crumbling as the playoffs approach?
The biggest football betting mystery of them all is the Houston Texans. After ruling the AFC for the entire season, the Texans collapsed in the final weeks to fall all the way down to the number three seed. Should Houston fans be worried? Yes, they should. The Texans face stiff competition from the New England Patriots and the Denver Broncos in the AFC playoffs, and most experts are saying that the Texans will not get out of its own conference. The Texans cannot blame injuries this season, which makes the situation even worse.
In the AFC, it just feels like a battle between the New England Patriots and Denver Broncos for the AFC Championship is inevitable. The betting sites know that the Broncos ended the regular season with an 11-game winning streak, and there is enough veteran leadership on both sides of the ball in Denver to keep that kind of a streak in perspective. The Patriots remain one of the teams to beat in the AFC because it is the Patriots. As long as head coach Bill Belichick and quarterback Tom Brady are together in New England, that team will find a way to win.
In the NFC, it looks like the Atlanta Falcons righted its ship in time to head into the playoffs with some momentum. But the team that none of the NFC teams want to play is the Seattle Seahawks. The football betting sites have been watching the development of rookie Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson and everyone is amazed at how much better Wilson gets from week to week. The season started with running back Marshawn Lynch carrying the offensive load for the Seahawks. But Wilson quickly took over and the Seahawks, along with its powerful defense, remain a contender in the NFC.
The two teams that remain unpredictable in the NFC are the San Francisco 49ers and the Green Bay Packers. The 49ers have been watching second-year quarterback Colin Kaepernick develop and it is obvious that Kaepernick will be a good NFL quarterback. But he still makes the mistakes that young quarterbacks make and that could be a problem in the playoffs.
The Green Bay Packers seem to be the steadiest of the top NFC seeds heading into these playoffs. But injuries and inconsistency in the running game could stop the Packers from realizing its Super Bowl goals.

Editor's letter: Is this the best success story of recent times?
January 9, 2023Autos
The growth has not been built on sand. Covid aside, Kia has grown each year since scrappage. Its residuals have been strong, and it has never had to dump a load of spare stock on the market to chase volume. It got very close to 100,000 in 2019 when it sold 97,000 cars, but resisted any temptation to break the magic 100k barrier at the end of the year by pre-registering the cars needed to get there.
"In this industry you can create sales and registrations but you won't be sustainable without growing demand," said Philpott. "If you do that, then residuals will drop and you typically fall back the next year, as many manufacturers do after a growth spurt."
The Sportage and Niro make up the bulk of the Kia range, and it was the successful launch of the previous generation Sportage that made Philpott believe 100,000 was possible. It was then the success of electric models that made it inevitable. Some 43% of Kia sales last year were electrified, and 16% of the total were fully electric.
Kia's success with electric cars has been the final step in changing the brand's wider perceptions, and it now sits firmly in the mainstream. A budget brand it is no more.
"I think that electrification has been a great leveller of brands. We are seen as a leader in electrification with the EV6, Niro, Soul, plug-ins and hybrids. Cars have really changed, and electrification has accelerated the perception change of the Kia brand. It has enabled us to be looked at with any brand, from the likes of Tesla and BMW, and also brands that now even offer cheaper products than us."

Crude oil futures declined on Thursday as the moods were marred by the record high oil production from Saudi Arabia amid speculation whether OPEC will take steps to raise prices, reported Finance Appraise.
Futures on US crude oil dropped by 0.15% to 46.72 dollars a barrel and on Brent – by 0.42% to 49.64 dollars per barrel.
The commoditiess market is still considering whether the oil cartel is ready to reach a deal to freeze production with producers outside OPEC to boost weak oil prices. At the same time, major manufacturers continue to expand their production.
Production of crude oil of OPEC has increased by 46 thousand barrels a day to an average of 33.11 million barrels per day in July.
Saudi Arabia announced a record high of 10.67 million barrels a day last month, while yields on Iran is again slightly below the level from before the sanctions of 4 million barrels per day.
Moreover, recent news in the media indicate that Saudi Arabia can boost production to 10.8 to 10.9 million barrels per day in August, which will be a new record and will overtake Russia's production.
Analysts warn on the likelihood of price rally based on future talks between OPEC producers since such meetings earlier this year failed to lead to any result, disappointing oil markets.
From the supply side, the US Energy Information Administration said on Wednesday that crude oil reserves in the US fell by 2.5 million barrels last week while analysts predicted an increase of 400 thousand barrels.
The number of drilling rigs working in the US is rising for the seventh consecutive week, signaling that on the markets will appear more oil. Recent data on the number of wells, prepared by Baker Hughes, will come out on Friday.
Meanwhile, stocks of gasoline fell by 2.7 million barrels last week, well above expectations for a decline of 1.5 million barrels.

MUNDORO PROVIDES DRILL PROGRAMS UPDATE AND CORPORATE UPDATE
MAY 1, 2017, Vancouver, BC – Mundoro Capital Inc. (TSXV: MUN, www.mundoro.com) ("Mundoro" or the "Company") provides an update to the drilling program at the Company's Borsko Jezero license ("Borsko") where drilling is ongoing. Borsko is one of the four licenses being sole funded by JOGMEC as part of the JOGMEC-Mundoro option agreement announced in August 2016 ("Timok North Projects"). Borsko is located directly west of the Serbian state-operated producing mines, RTB Group's Bor copper porphyry mine and the Veliki Krivelj copper-gold porphyry mine, all located in the central portion of the Timok Magmatic Complex ("Timok"). See Figure 1: Borsko Drillhole Locations and Figure 2: Borsko License Location Map.
Borsko Drilling Program Update in Serbia
Teo Dechev, CEO & President of Mundoro commented, "The Borsko drill program, which began in early February 2017, increased from an initial 600 meters in one diamond drill hole to 2821 meters over three diamond drill holes. We are encouraged by the alteration and mineralization we have identified in the drill core thus far and believe the drilling will provide valuable information for further testing in this license area. Follow up drilling, analysis and interpretation is necessary to assess the viability of this discovery. In addition to the JOGMEC funded drilling at Borsko we look forward to commencing drilling at the Mundoro funded drilling at the Angel gold target in Bulgaria as well as the JOGMEC funded drill program at Zeleznik in H2-2017."
BJ_06: This diamond drill hole ended at a depth of 821.6 m in Target 1. Drill hole BJ_06, which tested one of the newly generated drill targets at Borsko successfully demonstrated that a potentially mineralised system exists under cover.
BJ_07: Based on the visual inspection of BJ_06, Mundoro and JOGMEC determined to extend the drill program to further test Target 1 with a follow up drill hole, BJ_07, up to 1300 m. This drill hole is currently at 1198 meters.
BJ_08: This diamond drill hole was designed to test Target 2 with a projected depth of 700 m. Based on visual inspection of the core, Mundoro and JOGMEC determined to extend the drilling which stopped at 794 m due to technical difficulty; drilling of this hole is on hold until a new drill rig is mobilized on site to continue drilling.
Logging and sampling are ongoing with the anticipation to have assay results with a brief description of mineralization and alteration from all three holes announced in June.
For further information on this drill program, please refer to our press releases on March 21, 2017 and February 8, 2017.
Angel Vyvoda Drill Program Update in Bulgaria
The drill program at Angel Vyvoda ("Angel") in the Zvezda license in Bulgaria commenced at the end of April with drill results expected in the first half of July. This drill program will test the gold-in-soil geochemical anomalies and the Au-Ag-Sb-As-Mo suit of elements (epithermal) seen in the geochemical survey that cover an area of a 2.7 km x 1.5 km and delineating at least three sets of E-W to NW-SE structures.
For further information on this drill program, please refer to our press release on March 6, 2017.

The recent Bangor Daily News article "Slower visa approval could worsen Maine's doctor shortage" made me think about the dilemma of importing foreign talent to solve a local problem, something very similar to what happened when the U.S. Soccer Federation hired the German footballer Jurgen Klinsmann to steer U.S. soccer (football) in the right direction back in 2011. Klinsmann was relieved of his duties in November of 2016 after a series of negative results during the qualifying rounds against Costa Rica and Mexico that put in jeopardy the national team's chances of qualifying to the 2018 World Cup in Russia. The record of 55-27-16 was not of the highest caliber, considering the high expectations for an incremental improvement of the team's performance, the consolidation of an American style of playing, and the strengthening of the youth development program. I, and many other followers I suspect, were expecting Klinsmann to maximize the youth talent at his disposal but at the end he opted to seek solutions elsewhere, searching for German-American talent that had a hard time with language and cultural adaptation in the United States.
The German-American solution did not resolve the problems in the field and did not contribute to the strengthening or consolidation of U.S. soccer (football) and instead reversed the progress achieved by the last two American coaches that were close to figuring out the chemistry and idiosyncrasy of the American player. Bruce Arena, one of the two previous coaches, has been called back to lead this new era. With a historic record of 72-30-30 and a desire to capitalize on the youth development program, Arena brings new hopes that we will quality for Russia 2018.
The U.S. will begin the long road to Russia at home against Honduras this Friday March 24 at 10:30 p.m. ET, followed by matches against Panama, Trinidad and Tobago, Mexico, and Costa Rica. A return to a nationalist formula seems to be Arena's formula, bringing in new blood combined with the experience of Howard, Bradley and company. It is an exciting time for US soccer (football); there is a fast-growing fan base and a youth development program that has almost doubled since the U.S. 1994 World Cup (from 2.4 million to 3.1 million).
The challenge is tremendous because the fans now expect results. Major League Soccer (MLS) and the melting pot of immigrants from the world of soccer (football) that call the U.S. their home have created an educated and informed culture that knows that this is the time for the U.S. men's national team to take the game to a higher level. Proof of this culture is last year's MLS attendance at different venues averaging for example 42,636 spectators in Seattle and 31,324 spectators in Orlando, and reaching a total of 7.3 million fans for the whole 2016 season.
The formula of importing talent is now gone, it is time to gather what has been sown. The same could be said about doctors. In 2015 18,705 doctors graduated from medical school in the United States, an increase of 16 percent since 2002, while the number of applicants to medical school increased 25 percent reaching an "all-time high of 20,630." As in the case of soccer (football) the American melting pot seems to be the solution for new talent, with an increasing enrolment of Latinos (6.9 percent), African-Americans (11.6 percent), Alaska Natives (3.5 percent), and women making up 48 percent of total enrollment. The recent doctor shortage article by Jen Lynds suggests that Maine has been playing the Klinsmann card, ignoring the fact that the formula might not be in the global but in the local market. Maine's hospital decision makers need to figure out how to maximize the youth talent at their disposal, just like Bruce Arena is doing. The solution to the scarcity of doctors is domestic just like the solution to American soccer (football).
This is not political nationalism; it is just a suggestion to use local human capital to solve local challenges. Lets jump on the nationalist fervor of soccer (football) and forget about Trump, politics, and conflict; lets support our national team on our road to Russia 2018 and forget about the turmoil for 90 minutes, just like the rest of the world does every time their team steps on the field.

Canada caught between 2 powers, feeling alone in world
Canada is caught between two super powers and taking the punishment – and the U.S. has been absent in coming to its aid
Canada caught between 2 powers, feeling alone in world Canada is caught between two super powers and taking the punishment – and the U.S. has been absent in coming to its aid Check out this story on detroitnews.com: https://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/world/2018/12/14/canada-feeling-alone-two-powers/38735301/

Toronto – First U.S. President Donald Trump attacked Canada on trade. Then Saudi Arabia punished it for speaking up for human rights. Now China has the country in its cross-hairs, detaining two Canadians in apparent retaliation for the arrest of a top Chinese tech executive on behalf of the United States.
Canada is caught between two super powers and taking the punishment – and its ally to the south has been conspicuously absent in coming to its aid.
"We've never been this alone," historian Robert Bothwell said. "We don't have any serious allies. And I think that's another factor in what the Chinese are doing. … Our means of retaliation are very few. China is a hostile power."
The two Canadians, Michael Kovrig, a former diplomat in China, and Michael Spavor, an entrepreneur who lived in northeastern China near the North Korean border, were taken into custody Monday on suspicion of "engaging in activities that endanger the national security" of China, Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Lu Kang said. Canadian consular officials have had no access to them.
Their detentions ratchet up pressure on Canada, which arrested Meng Wanzhou, the chief financial officer of telecommunications giant Huawei, on Dec. 1 at the request of the United States. The U.S. wants her extradited to face charges that she and her company misled banks about the company's business dealings in Iran. A Canadian judge released Meng on bail Tuesday.
The case has set off a diplomatic furor among the three nations in which Canada has been stuck in the middle.
Until now, Canada had a largely good relationship with China, forged by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's father, late Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, who helped establish the one-China formula that enabled many other countries to recognize China in the 1970s. Canada acknowledged there is one government of China and does not officially recognize Taiwan.
China has since become Canada's second-largest trading partner, after the United States. Chinese investment has powered real estate booms in Vancouver and Toronto. And one-third of foreign students in Canada are Chinese. Justin Trudeau has even talked about a possible free-trade agreement with China in a bid to diversify Canada's trade, which relies on the U.S. for 75 percent of its exports.
But the Canadian prime minister has said little since news of this week's arrests became public. Opposition Conservative leader Andrew Scheer said Trudeau isn't being forceful enough with the Chinese.
"This situation demonstrates that Justin Trudeau's naive approach to relations with China isn't working," Scheer said.
It's Canada's second dispute with a major power this year. In June, Trump vowed to make Canada pay after Trudeau said he wouldn't be pushed around in talks to hammer out a new North American trade agreement, an unprecedented attack on America's closest ally. Trump called Trudeau weak and dishonest, words that shocked Canadians.
Then Trump said this week that he might intervene in the Huawei case if it would help clinch a trade agreement with China, upending U.S. efforts to separate the court proceeding from U.S.-China trade talks and contradicting Canadian officials who said the arrest was not political.
Canadian Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland took a swipe at Trump, saying it was "quite obvious" any foreign country requesting extradition should ensure "the process is not politicized."
"Normally, Canada can count on the United States to back them up on such an issue," said Laura Dawson, a former economic adviser at the U.S. Embassy in Ottawa and director of the Canada Institute at the Wilson Center think tank in Washington. Dawson said it's unusual for Washington to "leave Canada hanging high and dry."
"President Trump has made it clear that old alliances don't matter so much anymore," she said. "He has made no secret of his preference for a go-it-alone approach and his lack of regard for traditional alliances."
In years past the U.S. might have defended Canada when came it under attack and other countries would know the U.S. had Canada's back. Not now. In August, the Saudi government expelled Canada's ambassador to the kingdom and withdrew its own ambassador after Canada's foreign ministry tweeted support for an arrested Saudi activist. The Saudis also sold Canadian investments and ordered their citizens studying in Canada to leave. No country, including the U.S., spoke out publicly in support of Canada.
And now the stakes are much higher. Canada is one of the few countries in the world unabashedly speaking out in defense of human rights and the international rule of law. And Chinese trade with Canada is increasingly key as Canada looks to boost its exports in Asia as its trade with the U.S. is threatened by Trump's tariffs on Canadian goods.
"At the beginning of Trump there was this idea that maybe the Chinese would replace the Americans" as Canada's pre-eminent trade partner "but that's just nuts," said historian Bothwell, a University of Toronto professor. "Relations for any smaller country with China are really grave."
Derek Scissors, a China specialist at the conservative American Enterprise Institute, called China's actions toward Canada "thuggish."
"You detain a Canadian because the Canadians can't do anything. It's bullying behavior," he said.
Noting Canada was just following a routine extradition process with the United States, Scissors said America should be saying: "'Why are you picking up Canadians? You have a problem with us.'"
David Mulroney, a former Canadian ambassador to China, said not only the U.S. but other Western nations should be standing up for Canada.
"It would be nice if publicly and also behind the scenes if countries like the United States, the U.K., Australia and France would put in a word on our behalf and let the Chinese know how damaging this is to their reputation and to the notion that China is a safe place to work and pursue a career," Mulroney said.
"I think a lot of foreigners in China are looking over their shoulder right now," he added.
Christopher Sands of the School of Advanced International Studies in Washington said the world took note of how Trump treated Canada during trade negotiations and how the U.S. stayed silent when Saudi Arabia overreacted to Canada's expression of human rights concerns over treatment of the Saudi dissident.
"In normal times, the U.S. sends a signal, usually discreetly, to allies to cut it out and play nice," Sands said.
"What makes this worse is that China is lashing out at Canada not for Canada's initiative, but for Canada's honoring of a U.S. warrant. The damage done by our silence in terms of alliance relations is truly awful," he said.

Q: Umbraco get media thumbnail url Umbraco, when save an image, will create 3 files:
originalfile.jpg
originalfile_big-thumb.jpg
originalfile-thumb.jpg

I used:
Umbraco.TypedMedia(mediaId) or Umbraco.Media(mediaId)
but it gave me the url to original image.
There is a method of UmbracoHelper which takes the url to image thumbnail (big-thumb or thumb) ?

A: I'm guessing that those thumbnails are obsolete and not used in Umbraco right now. There was a thread how to hack it and use it on Our: https://our.umbraco.org/forum/developers/razor/22898-How-to-get-media-thumbnail#comment-85557.
If you want to have control over the sizes of the images and be able to create your own crops and modifications, check ImageCropper data type: https://our.umbraco.org/documentation/getting-started/backoffice/property-editors/built-in-property-editors/image-cropper.

The first week with Nokia Lumia 920
12.11.2012 12.11.2012 Tero Lehto
I've been using Nokia's Lumia 920 for over a week now. I now dare claim it's the best Nokia smartphone ever. Even though I've critised the way Nokia announced to give up the Symbian platform, it now seems obvious Windows Phone is a far better choice for them.
Lumia 920 has many strengths. It has a good camera with optical image stabilization which produces better images than Lumia smartphones so far, and a bright 4,5-inch display which also supports touch screen operation with winter gloves. I tested, it really works. It's an important thing for anyone living in the northern parts of the globe.
The camera has improved compared to Lumia 800/900 when taking photos in low light. It produces the best results when not using the so called "flash", which really means a dual-LED lights. But with the optical image stabilization, the photos shot in dim lightning have improved. However, don't expect the same quality as the other Nokia PureView device Nokia 808. The technologies behind these models are very different.
The camera app is not as sophisticated as Nokia's Symbian devices have had, most likely due to limitations by Microsoft or limited time for WP8 development. However, it has the most important settings for disabling "flash" (LED lights), setting ISO sensitivity and exposure, etc. There's also a macro mode, and you can set a manual focus touching the screen. However, Nokia 808 PureView is a far more advanced camera device in this sense.
I haven't tried video recording a lot yet, except to test the optical image stabilization really works. It reduces the shakiness of videos when holding the device on your hand. There are lots of 1080p video samples in reviews online.
I'm not still quite sure about Windows Phone 8 (WP8) and the promises Microsoft has made.
In addition to user interface improvements, WP8 supposedly improves multi-tasking, even though it's still a bit unclear how it will realize in apps. Microsoft claims there's better multi-tasking for apps taking advantage of Bluetooth and GPS, but for example Sports Tracker still closes from the background. I hope it gets better WP8 support in the near future.
WP8 is mostly fast and fluid on Lumia 920, but randomly it gets a bit slow and user interface animations don't run smoothly. I assume this has something to do with many apps on the background, and I expect Microsoft and Nokia to fix it in the near future.
There also are some apps not available for WP8 yet, such as Skype and Spotify. Microsoft is working to improve Skype integration with the operating system. Spotify then again was one of the few apps on WP 7.5 which was allowed to run native code, so it needs an update for WP8.
Overall, Nokia Lumia 920 feels and looks very nice. I especially like the crisp colors, such as red and yellow models. It has about the same kind of unibody design as Lumia 900 with a glossy back cover. I'd personally prefer the matt cover in Lumia 800, but this is not bad either. Lumia 920 and Windows Phone 8 blend in each other very nicely.

2014 Africa Progress Report – One Billion Hungry: Can We Feed the World?
Released today, the 2014 Africa Progress Report, Grain, fish, money. Financing Africa's green and blue revolutions, discusses agriculture, fisheries and finance, outlining reasons for optimism but also some of the priorities and barriers to Africa's development.
The Africa Progress Panel (APP), chaired by Kofi Annan, former Secretary-General of the United Nations and Nobel laureate, consists of ten individuals across the public and private sectors who advocate for equitable and sustainable development for Africa. The annual Africa Progress Report, published every year in May, utilises the best research and analysis available on Africa to make viable, policy recommendations for African policy makers, international partners and civil society organisations.
Many African countries have seen significant economic development and transformation in the last few decades and incomes are set to double in the next 22 years. Senegal, for example, has gone from a debt crisis to selling sovereign debt on eurobond markets in ten years. But this economic growth is slow to trickle down to the many rural-dwelling Africans whose livelihoods are still precarious. In west Senegal, ongoing illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing by commercial fleets from other countries has left fish stocks dwindling, affecting tens of thousands of artisanal fishermen. As the report states this is just one example of the growing divide between the few who can benefit from Africa's rising economic prosperity and the large number of people chronically poor and hungry.
In order to translate some of the economic growth to improving people's wellbeing and livelihoods, Africa's policymakers must focus on developing the continents farming and fishing industries, those economic sectors employing and supporting the majority of the Africa population. Smallholder farmers receive relatively little support from the government. As the report states, "Agriculture remains the Achilles' heel of Africa's development success story." Subject to conflicting and sometimes damaging development initiatives, African farmers have some of the lowest levels of access to productive resources, markets and technologies in the world. As such agricultural productivity is very low. As has been seen in many developed and emerging economies an agricultural revolution is essential to overall growth and poverty eradication. Africa, as the report goes on to say, needs its own Green Revolution, one designed for the African continent. In particular increasing access to technologies such as drought-resistant varieties and tackling policy and market failures, which prevent farmers from increasing their productivity and incomes.
Given Africa's reliance on small-scale farming, it is imperative that they be supported in adapting to climate change. The current financial commitments from other countries through climate funds are far short of what is needed and "Africa's farmers are being left to cope with a climate crisis they did not create".
Although the incidence of poverty is declining, it is declining very slowly. Included in the Post-2015 development goals will be a target of eradicating poverty by 2030, a goal that on current trends Africa will fail to meet by some margin. Only through increasing economic growth per capita and implementing systems of redistribution to tackle inequalities will Africa have a chance of meeting that goal. The report gives an example of the inequality of public spending with far more money being spent on energy subsidies, a benefit predominantly felt by the wealthier, than on social protection, which is important for tackling poverty at the source.
The report also discusses the failure of African governments to control illegal and unregulated timber extraction and fishing, impacting local timber and fish markets and in many cases reducing local people's incomes and access to important resources, as well as costing countries billions of dollars. So far governments have failed to address these problems and international action is on a purely voluntary basis. Financial systems, particularly poor in Africa, are also discussed. Only 1 in 5 Africans have an account at a formal financial institution. Lack of access to investment funds and insurance pose challenges for business development and farmers alike.
The report puts forward several recommendations for developing the agricultural sector, improving national financial systems and protecting renewable resource sectors.
Share the wealth – Inclusive growth and expanded opportunity are essential to eradicate poverty. For example setting equity targets as part of the post-2015 development goals and expanding social protection programmes and funding.
Invest in Africa's unique green revolution – African governments, the private sector and the global community must work together to invest in Africa's unique green revolution. Governments need to act on their pledge to spend at least 10% of budget resources on agriculture, they need to create the right market conditions, reduce imports, facilitate infrastructure development and support sustainable agricultural development to fight hunger and malnutrition.
Take the profit out of plunder – Africa's resources should be sustainably managed for the benefit of Africa's peoples. Action to prevent the illegal exhaustion of Africa's natural resources requires international, national and regional collaboration. The international community must develop multilateral systems that prevent the plunder of Africa's resources.
Close the twin deficit in infrastructure and inclusive finance – Regional cooperation for energy and transport projects, supporting the development of mobile banking and e-commerce and greater collaboration between private and public sectors to guide the development of inclusive financial services industries is needed.
Make tax and finance more fair and transparent – Strengthened domestic resource mobilization holds the key to financing for inclusive growth, with African governments investing in efficient and equitable tax collection. Greater transparency on tax exemptions and greater efforts to combat tax evasion combined with the international community delivering on its aid pledges and cutting the cost of remittances.
Overall the report is eloquent and impactful, making clear and actionable recommendations for African and international policymakers alike.


Every single entry in the game will cost you 1.5 pounds. You can either choose your numbers to play, and you can opt for the lucky dip option, in which case a random ticket will be generated for you.
To win the Set for Life top prize, you will have to match all five numbers for the respective drawing, as well as the Life number.
As per the Set for Life Rules, you have to be aged 16 or older to play Set for Life, as well as other lotteries in the UK.
Once the particular Set for Life numbers are drawn, you can determine if you've won anything.
If you win and you want to claim a prize, you will need to call the National Lottery Line within the specified timeframe. You will be asked about personal details and also about where you bought the winning ticket (retailer information).
1. Set for Life is a brand new game in the portfolio of Camelot UK Lotteries (The National Lottery). It was launched in March 2019. Apart from the unusual format for the distribution of the top prizes, it's also characterized by pretty favorable odds. The overall chances of winning a Set for Life prize are one in 12.4.
2. The Set for Life lotto was launched on the 25th birthday of the national lottery. Since the top prize is 10,000 pounds for a month throughout 30 years, Set for Life was created to appeal to a younger generation of lottery players.
3. While the top two prizes are meant to be paid in the form of annuities, a cash claim option is also available for a lump sum payment. Keep in mind, however, that opting for a lump sum payment can significantly reduce the amount that you would have been entitled to over 30 years.
4. The top prizes are affixed, which makes Set for Life entirely different from other draw-style games. This means that it doesn't matter whether there's one winner or five people who match the five main numbers and the Life number. All of these individuals will be entitled to a prize of 10,000 pounds per month for 30 years.
5. Currently, 54.4 percent of the sum generated through the sale of Set for Life ticket is paid back to players in the form of awards. The rest of the money is dedicated to the operation of the national lottery, and some of the money will also be set aside to support and sponsor good causes throughout the UK.
To find out if you are one of the winners, check the latest Set for Life results below.

Inspired by Arturo Gatti, Oscar De La Hoya says 'put a lot of money on me!'
World Boxing News
Oscar De La Hoya will channel his inner Arturo Gatti on September 11th when the Golden Boy promoter returns to action at 48.
The eleven-time world champion meets Vitor Belfort in a sanctioned eight-round contest aiming for a 40th professional victory.
Showing off his six-pack at a workout in which he looked decidedly slower than his old self, De La Hoya was in a buoyant mood.
De La Hoya is planning an extended stay in the sport the second time around but is under no illusions about the task in front of him.
"I went through hell and back treating my body wrong, but these last six months, I feel amazing," said De La Hoya. "I refocused myself and rededicated myself.
"I'm doing this for me. I can't wait. Call me crazy, but I miss it. I missed getting hit and doing the hitting.
"But I wasn't ready to retire after I lost to Manny Pacquiao. I never felt like I was in wars, so in boxing, you're just as old as how you feel."
Belfort is amazingly the bookies favorite, seemingly on sheer age and activity. However, De La Hoya is a legendary boxer and, if in any shape, should be able to maneuver around any aged MMA fighter.
"I'm the underdog because the bettors don't believe in me. But I finally put the train back on the rails," he said.
"I'm not a betting man or a gambler, but I would put a lot of money on me. I'm going to surprise people with how I do it.
"I've been training smart. I've been very motivated in training since we opened camp. The weight limit is 185, but I will come in at 175, strong like an ox. I'm at 180 right now."
On how he expects the fight to play out, the five-weight champion added: "I'm going to give the fans a war.
"I've been studying Marvin Hagler vs. Thomas Hearns for a reason. I want a fight, a war. But I have a good chin, and I can take the punch.
"I know Vitor Belfort has the same mentality. He was a boxer first before he became the UFC Heavyweight Champion."
OSCAR DE LA HOYA – ARTURO GATTI
Concluding on his inspiration for what is a planned stoppage, Oscar De La Hoya stated: "I have to be calculated with my attack and stay away from his big left hand.
"There will be a knockout. My inspiration for this fight is Arturo Gatti. I want one of those types of fights."
The remaining tickets starting at $75 are now on sale and may get purchased through AXS.com.
Doors will open on the day of the event at 3:00 p.m. PT at The STAPLES Center.

A few weeks ago I reviewed the new Midfield Terminal at Hong Kong Airport, which is a stunning space. It's a terminal featuring 30 gates capable of handling aircraft of various sizes, and back then was a port to most of Hong Kong Airlines and some smaller airlines that have less of a prominence in Hong Kong, like Cebu Pacific or Vanilla Air.
What's special about the terminal is mostly how new and modern it is, but in my knowledge I can't think of any other airside outdoor viewing decks at HKG (there's a SkyDeck at Terminal 2, but it's landside).
Well, the terminal is starting to get less "out of the way" – various airlines with heavier aircraft are starting to be handled by the Midfield Terminal. This includes a 777-300ER from Turkish (from Istanbul) and an A380 from Lufthansa (from Frankfurt). And unlike what you'd normally get in the main terminal, these airlines seem to stay in the Midfield Terminal, only occasionally handling flights outside.
I've been monitoring the online departures board since I got back to Hong Kong, and other airlines departing from gates 2XX include an A330 from Fiji Airways, an A330 from SriLankan, a 777-300ER from Jet Airways and an A319 from Bangkok Airways.
The current airlines using Midfield Concourse are Hong Kong Airlines, HK Express, AirAsia Group (AirAsia, Thai AirAsia and AirAsia Zest), Cebu Pacific, Peach Aviation, Vanilla Air, Jet Airways, Turkish Airlines, S7 Airlines, Shenzhen Airlines, Sichuan Airlines, Juneyao Airlines, Spring Airlines, Bangkok Airways, Jetstar Group (Jetstar Japan and Jetstar Pacific), Tigerair, Royal Brunei Airlines, SriLankan Airlines, Jin Air, Royal Nepal Airlines, Aeroflot operated by Aurora, Fiji Airways, Palau Pacific Airways operated by Air Explore, Lufthansa and Mega Maldives.
Damn, that's a lot of airlines – let's hope it just escalates in the future, as the terminal is pretty slick.
Unfortunately neither Swiss nor Virgin Atlantic, the two airlines I have yet to fly this year on my list, have moved yet, so it looks like I'll be in the main terminal for quite a while.
I like the change that the airlines are creating. Of course, I love the main terminal and don't want everything to relocate to the new terminal, but we all know that's not happening. I'm happy seeing the Midfield Terminal grow in traffic and can't wait to be there again embarking on a flight this time.
Great review. Does anyone know if Hong Kong airlines new lounge in the midfield concourse is going to re open after the fire in December?

Silver Linings Playbook Review
December 25, 2012 by iamjacksname
David O. Russell follows up his inferior The Fighter with a remarkably touching film of love and self-discovery. I say inferior, but I really enjoyed The Fighter for its realism and the human direction he took the story. There was definitely a prowess to way The Fighter was directed and Russell brings that same flair to his latest and superior outing, a film that was not only more entertaining, but also meant more to me.
First off, it was great to see Robert De Niro in this role. He is one of the greatest actors to have ever performed. Russell has written a fabulous script with genuine characters who change and react to the events around them. There's certainly a realism to the story and like Robert De Niro, everyone is on their game. Jacki Weaver is great, this is the best I've ever seen Bradley Cooper act and as always Jennifer Lawrence is phenomenal.
Silver Linings Playbook was very unconventional and in all the best ways. The film almost had a subtle reflexivity to it in the way everything plays out. By the end, everything is wrapped in a beautiful little bow and at the same time it's hard not to enjoy the entire ride. Where other movies fail with similar subject matter, Silver Linings Playbook succeeds because it touches on so much more than just covering the family or love story.
Silver Linings Playbook makes you laugh, it makes you tear up, it gets you interested and it keeps you interested with a marvelous story about relationships and the unique personalities that form those relationships whether it be a connection with a father, a friend, a brother or a lover. We're all a little crazy. Who defines what's normal? You look at people and no two are the same. Silver Linings Playbook is about people and relishes in their differences.
Silver Linings Playbook follows a simple enough story about a man picking himself back up after a trip to the "looney bin". Your family can only do so much and the same could be said about friends new and old, but at the end of the day what pulls you through is the strength and ability to change. David O. Russell blew me away with this one and I can't wait for his next feature because it definitely seems as though he's coming into his own as a filmmaker. Silver Linings Playbook was extraordinary.

Over at Kicker & Kicker LLC, we are constantly crunching numbers to try and give you some tasty kicker picks. Last week was not a bad week here, as the pick analysis was mostly right. Kickers can be a frustrating thing to predict, as totally correct logic can go terribly wrong pretty easily. Teams with early deficits essentially doom their kickers' opportunities and teams with a high-powered offense going against a porous defense also usually lead to extra point tries and not the more lucrative field goal tries. This makes kicker streaming a highly volatile, and ultimately frustrating experience. But last week I felt pretty good about my picks, and they did not totally disappoint.
I knew Arizona was trash, as they have been allowing a ton of points to kickers. The problem is, they were too much trash. Hartley wound up with four extra point tries and in a week where five kickers scored ten points, not getting an extra try or two for Hartley sent him from a reasonable spot to a much worse 18th. I still trust Hartley moving forward and this offense is going to give him more than enough opportunities for good field goal attempts. I am shying away next week, as I think Miami is actually kind of good, especially on defense. Hartley will be a nice play most weeks, but I fear that New Orleans' aggressive offense might lead to fewer tries than another kickers on an equally effective, but more risk-averse-on-third-down type of team.
I watched the entire Philly game in Week 2 and I felt that I had their defense pegged in Week 3. And I was right. Succop actually missed out on a huge day, missing a 50+ yard field goal that, if he made it, would've put him at 19 points and the #1 kicker in Week 3. This was much more a defense-related thing than anything else. There is nothing particularly special about Ryan Succop. I'm not as huge of a fan as some of the Week 4 projections for him, but I felt really solid about this play in Week 3 and if you listened, you probably like me right about now. Unfortunately, the next kicker to face the Eagles, Matt Prater, is owned in 100% of leagues, so I cannot recommend him for this article. However, keep an eye on future matchups with Philly. I think there will continue to be solid kicker opportunity there.
Here are my kicker picks for Week 4.
I am not particularly a Feely fan, or a big fan of Arizona in general. That being said, Tampa Bay is just awful. They have allowed ten field goal attempts in the first three weeks, giving up double-digit fantasy points to opposing kickers every single week. Tampa Bay has simply been bad this season and with Arizona's improved pass attack, I like their chances to get in field goal range. This will allow Feely to get some opportunities. Feely is not a guy I would pick-up for the long haul, but if you are a Mason Crosby owner (Packers are on a bye), Feely is a solid fill-in who should be available in your league. Feely's next three opponents are relatively good defenses, so this is, at best, a one-week option.
I was actually surprised Hauschka was owned in so many leagues; he has not been stellar so far. It appears many took the leap of faith, getting the kicker who faced Jacksonville (ownership increased approximately 13% last week). It did not wind up as a terrible play, as Hauschka had nine points against Jacksonville. Six of those points came on extra point tries. He has not had much opportunity to kick field goals this year so far (five total attempts, all successful), but has had his share of extra points (nine through three weeks). Call it a hunch, but I believe Houston (at home) is a little more stout than San Francisco or Jacksonville were in Seattle. I believe this should lead to some nice opportunities for Haushcka to make a few field goals. Seattle's offense is good, but I do not think it's other worldly at all. I believe Houston can get a few stops after consistent, but ultimately stalled, drives from Seattle. This should provide Steve, who I think is a very talented kicker, to do his thing and put up some nice numbers here.

Using advanced polymer material technology, Trelleborg's offshore operation provides high integrity solutions for the harshest and most demanding offshore environments. As a multinational company they require a presence at exhibitions through out the world.
The group approached us to create a global exhibition solution with a variety of displays allowing for interchangeable graphics that could be easily updated to meet their changing requirements.
Following their brand guidelines, we produced a series of designs that not only highlighted the consistency and strength of Trelleborg's corporate identity, but also allowed for the flexibility of different information to be graphically developed for separate product groups within the organisation.
Our suggested solution was the Twist exhibition display system; the hardware and graphics are produced on-site, meaning we always have complete quality control of any project from concept to completion.
Since our partnership with Trelleborg Offshore, Rounded Edge Studio has produced displays for multiple shows and managed distribution into sites across the world. The 2 photos in the slider below show a couple of the different stands in situ.
