E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase NEDD4
E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase which accepts ubiquitin from an E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme in the form of a thioester and then directly transfers the ubiquitin to targeted substrates. Specifically ubiquitinates 'Lys-63' in target proteins (PubMed:23644597). Involved in the pathway leading to the degradation of VEGFR-2/KDFR, independently of its ubiquitin-ligase activity. Monoubiquitinates IGF1R at multiple sites, thus leading to receptor internalization and degradation in lysosomes. Ubiquitinates FGFR1, leading to receptor internalization and degradation in lysosomes. Promotes ubiquitination of RAPGEF2. According to PubMed:18562292 the direct link between NEDD4 and PTEN regulation through polyubiquitination described in PubMed:17218260 is questionable. Involved in ubiquitination of ERBB4 intracellular domain E4ICD. Involved in the budding of many viruses.

Home / News & Updates / Feeling Stuck In Your Car Loan? Might Be Time To Shop Around!
Bills are a lot like bad weather. They're going to come anyway, so you might as well not try to fix them, right? For some bills, that's the case. For others, though, you can make a big difference in your monthly budget with a little legwork.
One of the bills you can change is your car payment. Refinancing your vehicle loan can lead to a lower monthly payment, a shorter term, or both! It depends on a wide range of factors, including the value of your vehicle, how much you owe on your current loan, and your credit standing.
One of the biggest factors in determining your auto loan status is your credit score. When your lender is building a loan package, a credit report is pulled as a central part of that process. That number helps define your interest rate, whether or not you'll have to pay a premium for insurance, and what other fees your lender might charge.
It's worth keeping a copy of the credit report your lender pulled. That can let you see if your credit score has improved. It can take as little as nine months of steady repayment to boost your credit score, and that could result in a cheaper loan if you refinance.
If you didn't have much experience with credit when you purchased your vehicle, refinancing can do you a world of good. Interest rates as high as 18% are common for borrowers who have little to no credit history. Having even a few months of solid payments on your side can cut that rate in half or more.
Dealers tend to have a smaller range of lenders with whom they work exclusively. Those lenders know they have limited exposure to competition, so they can charge slightly higher fees and interest rates. By doing your own comparison shopping, you can save quite a bit on both the loan and any ancillary insurances or warranties you may have purchased. Dealer rates tend to be 1 to 1.5% higher than those offered at smaller lenders, like credit unions.
If you've never shopped around for a car loan, it's definitely worth doing. By getting multiple offers, you can ensure you're getting the best price available for your loan. Try to do your shopping inside a 15-day period. Otherwise, the multiple checks on your credit could negatively impact your credit score.
Most people don't go into the refinancing process looking to increase their monthly payment, but you can save yourself money in the long term by committing to a faster repayment plan. If you can afford to pay more per month now, you can pay off the balance on your car faster. Shorter term loans usually also have lower interest rates, since the lender assumes less risk in making the loan. Once the car is paid off, you'll have all that money to devote to other saving or spending priorities.
Your Turn: What do you do to save money on your car payment? Let us know your best tips and tricks in the comments, and don't forget to stop by US Community Credit Union to find out how refinancing can improve your financial life!


Among the most serious threats to a prosperous and inclusive South Africa is the stubbornly high rate of unemployment among young people. If we include discouraged work seekers, more than half of the country's youth are unemployed.
This rate has risen since 2010, particularly among those younger than 24. More worry-ingly, the number of discouraged youth — those who have given up searching — has increased.
Worst affected are African and female youth, particularly those living in rural areas, but also those in townships and informal settlements.
The good news is that President Cyril Ramaphosa put confronting unemployment among young South Africans at the centre of the policy stage both in his State of the Nation address and with the creation of Youth Employment Services, which is a partnership between business and government that aims to provide opportunities for youths to get work experience.
But there is still much to do, and the success of any youth employment project depends on well co-ordinated interventions between policymakers, employers, educators and trainers, and young people themselves.
The country has not been short on plans and investment of resources: we have assessed nearly 1 300 research papers, 376 government documents and close on 2 800 programmes introduced over the past 25 years.
Despite this significant policy and research attention, evidence remains fragmented.
There is little "cross-pollination" of knowledge between academic disciplines; many of the interventions focus on either the supply side of youth unemployment (such as training) or the demand side (encouraging risk-averse employers to hire young people), with little co-ordination between the two.
1. A lack of integrated policy design and implementation. There are a plethora of agencies across all levels of government tasked with addressing aspects of youth unemployment, including skills development. But they are poorly co-ordinated and their implementation and accountability structures are weak.
2. Our education system still fails most young people, leaving many without the basic skills required by employers. Children in no-fee schools perform particularly badly, with half dropping out before they reach matric. The post-school education system also struggles to provide students with the necessary guidance, support and skills to prepare for the workplace.
3. Many employers are reluctant to hire young people, largely because of a distrust in the quality of education.
4. The individual and household barriers poor young people face are significant, including low skills levels, the high costs of finding work, not knowing how to look for work, and limited social networks. About 42% of young people live in households with no employed adult, so the pool of social capital —such as contacts, information and goodwill — is shallow.
5. The "matching" processes that link young work seekers with suitable jobs and employers are inefficient.
Youth unemployment needs to be considered at both a macro and micro level. On a macro level, young people have been worst affected by the global economic downturn since 2008.
Moreover, there has been a significant shift in the economy from one driven by the primary and secondary sectors (mining, agriculture, manufacturing) to one driven by the tertiary sector (such as financial services). This sector requires levels of skills we are not producing in our education system.
Government, through its various plans, has recognised this. But these have not been translated into concrete improvements in access to, and completion of, high quality education and skills training, especially for poor youth.
There have also been large-scale national programmes to absorb labour, such as the public works programmes, and to create jobs, such as the industrial development zones (IDZs). The former have been more successful than the latter, although they do not create pathways to further opportunities. And in spite of high investment rates, the IDZs have been inadequate in creating jobs for young people.
The other major intervention has been treasury's employment tax incentive. This targets employers by offering tax breaks if they provide employment to young, first-time work seekers.
The evidence is mixed on its efficacy but points to positive effects on employment in small firms, suggesting there is scope for employment growth in the small business sector if this is better targeted.
But most youth employment interventions have tried to target individual work seekers, rather than working with employers.
The individual and household barriers poor young people face can be addressed through work-seeker support, but South Africa invests little in this. Evidence suggests that a fairly simple intervention, such as providing reference letters that honestly speak to the aptitudes and attitudes of that specific young person, can be a positive trigger in finding employment.
There is also evidence that providing information on job-search strategies leads to better outcomes. It would cost relatively little to ensure young people can augment their application with such information. To overcome skills deficits, training in the form of internships and learnerships in a work environment seems to show success.
But the country still lacks an overall school-to-work transition strategy as an integral part of the education system. This could include appropriate career guidance and suggestions for further study.
One of the more successful programmes, the Harambee youth employment accelerator, combines training with a "matching" service between youth and potential employers, and is one of very few interventions that bridges the supply and demand divide.
But many of these interventions place young people into existing job opportunities. They do not address the need for an increase in jobs.
So what can we as a society do to reverse the growing crisis of youth unemployment, and the concomitant problems of despair, depression and intergenerational inequality?
There is no magic bullet, but there are a few obvious pointers that emerge from our research.
Economic growth is critical; so is the political will to improve the education system to equip pupils with basic and technical skills, as well as opportunities to complete post-secondary education. These are fundamental, but there is much to be done while we work on these longer-run changes.
An immediate imperative is a carefully forged social compact between government, educators and trainers, employers, nongovernmental organisations, trade unions and young people themselves that views addressing the challenge not only as socially desirable, but also as a critical investment in the future.
Ensure a co-ordinated and accountable system of government agencies tasked with youth development. The plethora of youth desks across the country needs to be reviewed and rationalised so they can more effectively focus on youth employment.
Meanwhile, the research community must sharpen knowledge about the drivers of youth employment. We need to know more about employers' experiences of working with young first-time employees, and how to make the hiring and interning of youth advantageous for both parties.
The task of combating youth unemployment may seem daunting, but much of the groundwork has already been laid in terms of policies and programmes. What remains is to engender support for a focused social compact, which puts the future of young people at centre-stage.

But the good thing is I still here.
"Expectations are always high.I am happy for that.".For Nadal, the significance was far more personal.I decided to stay on the chair.".But part of what makes them such a compelling show for longtime tennis watchers is that Rafa and Nole also bring out the anxiety in each other like no other opponents can.Yet Djokovic still won.That's the real thing.Very few things separated us, a dazed Djokovic said in the moments afterward.He eventually succumbed to the inevitable when his forehand clipped the top of the net and bounced back to his own side as the crowd got to their feet to give the players a standing ovation.In Australia and Roland Garros, we have the watch here that we can manage to be under control.".
After his 2012 Australian Open universal studios shop promo code loss to Djokovic, and his 2013 French Open win over him, Nadal said, essentially, that destiny had given one air new zealand sweepstakes match to Nole, and one to him.Despite his strong form at Wimbledon in the first half of his career, Nadal hasn't been past the last fter a series of shock defeats against players outside the top 100.You could feel that history weigh on both men in this semifinal, but in the crucial moments, you could feel it weighing a little more heavily on Nadal.Coverage: Watch live on BBC TV, BBC iPlayer, BBC Red Button, Connected TVs and the BBC Sport website and app; Live Radio 5 live and 5 live sports extra commentary; Text commentary online.Nadal's heart must have sunk when he saw who was in the umpire's chair for his match on Centre Court, with the Spaniard having had past run-ins with Carlos Bernardes and having asked for him not to officiate his matches.I am not here to play the tournament; I am here to try to have a good result said Nadal, who opens against Israel's Dudi Sela in the first round.He later found out he had been also given one for overshooting the warm-up.Not till the last shot did I know I was going to win.Nadal has won three of the last five Grand Slams, taking the French Open two years in a row and lifting the US Open trophy in 2017.
If I go to the toilet, I had plenty of time to change everything without the time violation.
The first Nadal heard about the pre-match time violation was at the news conference.
In the US Open, little bit less, but still better than here.".


Having been a subscriber to JRMES from the beginning, I was very disappointed to see it apparently meet an untimely death with issue 12/13.
Does anybody have any information on this or on volumes 14 and 15? I cannot find anything on the internet and my earlier inquiries with Oxbow Books were to no avail.
Thank you for the link, I hadn't seen that.
So let us wait and see. I will definitely apply for membership in ARMES.
Yeah, here the same. Hope this will get updated some time soon. Would become another great source when its ready.


An amazing year of organizing SEVEN professional MMA events and SEVEN professional boxing events (plus a Pro Wrestling event), will be capped off this Friday, December 8, 2017 as the incomparable team of Bash Boxing and Lights Out Promotions welcomes CELTIC GLADIATOR 17 to the Burbank Marriott Events Center.
Celtic Gladiator, the European MMA powerhouse where Conor McGregor made his bones, will now shine its light upon Southern California. With ten evenly matched pro MMA fights already confirmed, as well as a handful of preliminary CAMO bouts, this card is certain to close out 2017 with another frenzied crowd of MMA followers. Tickets starting at $49 are still available but may sell out soon as have all 2017 CXF shows to date.
Celtic Gladiator 17 will feature a local grudge match between CXF stalwart Derion 'The Thriller' Chapman (4-7 MMA) and Bellator veteran Jacob 'Lil Badger' Rosales (6-3 MMA), as they square off in a featherweight contest scheduled for 3 rounds. Although Chapman is currently mired in a 3-fight slump, 2 of his loses came via unpopular decision. In order to return to his winning ways, Chapman may have to best his best foe to date, as Rosales looks to pick up his second win under the Celtic Gladiator banner.
Celtic Gladiator 17 will also feature two of the top welterweights in California as former CXF title contender Jonathan Rivera (2-2 MMA) takes on former King The Cage Champion Daniel Hernandez (19-16 MMA). Hernandez may have the edge on the ground and with overall experience, however Rivera can shut the lights out in a flash, making this a fight you do not want to miss.
Well-known veterans Eddie 'Ambien' Jackson (6-1 MMA) and Daniel 'The Animal' McWilliams (15-34 MMA) will face off over three scheduled rounds in the welterweight division. After a two-year hiatus from the sport, Jackson has been itching to put someone to sleep for a long time. Now healthy and injury free, Jackson will have to keep his wits and watch out for rust against the always savvy McWilliams. Expect the classic grappler vs. striker in this exciting 170lbs showdown.
The heavy-handed Brian 'The Bad Boy' Del Rosario (1-0 MMA) is set to take on his biggest test to date in Bellator MMA veteran Anthony 'Pretty Boy' Taylor (2-3 MMA). Both Taylor and Del Rosario have a penchant for the knockout making this three round featherweight firefight a bout you do not want to miss!
A lightweight bout between Brandon Van Cleave (2-1 MMA) and Donte Stubbs (2-1 MMA) is another fight that could end up being the most exciting bout of the evening. Both of these men have a history of checking chins with shins so this one is certain to thrill!
Looking to punctuate a busy year with a huge win, Eric 'The Matrix' Steans (5-7 MMA) returns to action for the third time this year when he takes on Christian Bizzaretty (2-4 MMA). The longer Bizzaretty will maintain quite a reach advantage, and if he can utilize that range effectively it could be a long night (or a short one) for Steans. However, if Steans can breakdown the range of Bizarretty, he could win the fight in a phone both. Expect a dogfight when these two lightweights collide.
After a narrow decision loss in his pro debut, Milton Arguello (2-1 MMA) has been on a role. In his last two bouts, none of his opponents have survived the first round. Standing in his way this time and looking to start his own winning streak is Mark Alvidrez (0-1 MMA). The well-rounded Alvidrez would like nothing more than adding a name like Arguello's to his win column.
Hollywood actor and life-long martial artist Chris Bruno (debut) will be dropping the script in favor of 4 oz. gloves when he takes on Mark Matsumoto (0-2 MMA). Bruno, who used to corner former UFC Champion Ricco Rodriguez, will have a tough task as Matsumoto will certainly be looking to spoil the audition.
Celtic Gladiator 17 will also be launching the pro careers of four of the regions top young amateurs. With over 13 wins between them as amateurs Julian 'Jekyll and Hyde' Baez (debut) and Jonathan Martin (debut) are set to tangle for 3 rounds in the lightweight division. With so much pedigree in the rear-view mirror setting the table, this fight could end up being the best fight of the night.
David Roberts (debut) and Jose Marroquin (debut) will also be appearing for the first time as pros. Roberts, a boxer with excellent hands will be looking to mix it up on his feet early with his opponent. If Marroquin can make the fight horizontal, he could grind out a victory. Expect a back and forth war as these two newcomers look to make an impressive introduction.

STANDARD MISSILE (SM)
BRIEFING: The Standard family of missiles can be used against missiles, aircraft and ships. The RIM-66C SM- 2 Block III, IIIA and IIIB MR (medium-range) missiles are the primary air-defense weapons for Ticonderoga-class guided-missile cruisers and Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyers. The RIM- 156A SM- 2 ER (extended-range) Block IV was designed for the Aegis Weapon System (AWS) and the Vertical Launching System to give the battle force greater area anti-air warfare defense capability against very-high-altitude, large-cross-range and high-G maneuvering targets. All variants are guided by inertial navigation and midcourse commands from AWS using semi-active radar or an infrared sensor for terminal homing. The Block IV is deployed as a terminal-phase ballistic missile defense interceptor.
The RIM- 161 SM- 3 is a development by the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) of the SM- 2 ER Block IV, optimized for sea-based defense against short- to intermediate-range ballistic missiles in midcourse flight. It includes a third rocket stage, a GPS/inertial guidance system and a Boeing-developed kinetic warhead. Since 2005, the RIM-161B SM- 3 Block 1A — featuring increased reliability and a one-color seeker — has been in production for the U.S. Navy and the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force.
The RIM-161C SM- 3 Block 1B includes an advanced, two-color infrared seeker and throttling divert- and attitude-control system for increased maneuverability against sophisticated warheads. The Block 1B was deployed aboard the Ticonderoga-class cruiser USS Lake Erie for a 2010 initial operational capability (IOC). The Block 1B also will be deployed at the Aegis Ashore site in Romania in 2015.
The SM- 3 Block II is being developed as a phase of Block IIA development by the United States and Japan and will not become operational.
The SM- 3 Block IIA — planned for an IOC of 2018 — has a 21-inch-diameter rocket body, larger rocket motors, a more discriminating seeker and more advanced kinetic warhead. The SM- 3 will be deployed on several Arleigh Burke-class destroyers and Ticonderoga-class cruisers, and four Japanese destroyers. The Block IIA also will be deployed to Aegis Ashore land sites in Europe to provide ballistic missile defense.
In April 2011, Lockheed Martin was awarded a $43.3 million contract to define the concept for the SM- 3 Block IIB, which will provide an early intercept capability against intermediate- and long-range ballistic missiles. Development of the SM- 3 Block IIB was suspended by the Defense Department in 2013 in favor of shifting funding to other components of the nation's ballistic missile defense system.
The RIM- 174 SM- 6 Extended-Range Active Missile, a dual-mode active/semi-active radar missile, uses the active seeker radar from the AIM- 120 Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missile. The SM- 6 is able to increase the battlespace to the horizon using its autonomous active seeker mode either with Aegis in a standalone configuration, or beyond the horizon with an engage-on-remote capability. The SM- 6 also is capable of sea-based terminal ballistic missile defense, but no decision has been made to use the SM- 6 in that role.
Raytheon began low-rate initial production of the SM- 6 Block I in 2010. Full-rate production was approved in May 2013. IOC was achieved in November 2013. Follow-On Operational Test & Evaluation is scheduled for completion in 2016.

New stations appear across Manchester for city's rentable 'Burnham bike' scheme
Daisy Jackson - 12th August 2022
The roll-out of Greater Manchester's Bee Bike cycle hire scheme has stepped up a gear, with new docking stations appearing across the city centre.
The scheme, nicknamed the 'Burnham bikes' as a nod to London's 'Boris bikes', initially launched in Salford and along the Oxford Road corridor.
Several new yellow stations have appeared around Manchester now, with plenty more on the way.
The next phase of the roll-out of the Bee Bikes has seen stations installed around St Peter's Square and Manchester Central.

By the time the scheme is complete, bike numbers will increase to 1,500, which will include 300 e-bikes.
It's all part of the vision for a Bee Network – a joined-up, integrated public transport network across the region.
And it's certainly off to a more successful start than Mobike, which famously withdrew from Manchester due to high levels of vandalism and theft.
The Bee Bikes are funded by TgGM and operated by Beryl, which runs similar schemes in London, Watford and Bournemouth.
Here you go – your new "Bee Bikes" which will be on our streets from November. 👇🏻
Many will be e-bikes and, in time, part of a single integrated payment system across bikes, buses and trams.
Greater Manchester's Bee Network is taking shape 👍🏻 pic.twitter.com/JG4ZZdIqAO
— Andy Burnham (@AndyBurnhamGM) June 22, 2021
Richard Nickson, programme director, Cycling and Walking at Transport for Greater Manchester, said: "The cycle hire scheme has really taken off in Greater Manchester since it was first introduced, and we are seeing significant numbers of riders and distances travelled by on the bikes- which is fantastic, particularly as we are still in the early days of the scheme's roll out.
"The next phase of the roll-out has now started in Manchester city centre, with new stations installed at key locations including Manchester Central Library, Manchester Central Convention Centre and
St Peter's Square.

"More stations are due to be installed in Manchester city centre over the coming weeks, before the scheme continues to expand its footprint to new locations in Salford and Trafford.
"Once complete the scheme will see bike numbers increase to 1,500 – including 300 e-bikes – and over 150 new stations in operation."

A Manchester vegan restaurant is serving an all-vegan roast with mock 'meat' and all the trimmings, putting an ethical twist on the British Sunday classic. Keen to see if it's worth the hype, I took a trip down to try it out for myself – and left feeling pretty impressed.
Not being a vegan personally, I enlisted the help of two friends of the plant-powered persuasion to accompany me to get a real feel for every option.
Suffice it to say, it was a success and, whilst I won't be converting to veganism any time soon, it's nice to know that there are options out there for when I feel like being 'good'.
With three different roast choices on offer, Wholesome Junkies is the first restaurant in the city centre to venture past the usual vegan choices of mushroom Wellington and roasted squash and go all-out with a variety of mock meat options.
Meats have been created in partnership with Liverpool vegan brand CB Sushi, using their mock beef and turkey joints to give vegans the feeling of a 'proper' roast.

Think glazed 'turkey' filled with stuffing, medallions of 'beef' and crispy deep-fried oyster mushrooms, all served with lashings of onion gravy, 'buttered' seasonal greens, glazed carrots and parsnips, deep-fried stuffing balls, crispy roasties and fluffy Yorkshire puddings created by Mabel's.
Having tried all three, I have to say that my favourite was the turkey. It's actually my least favourite meat to eat, so it was something of a surprise to find I enjoyed the vegan version much more than the real thing.
The texture was spot on, and there was none of the dryness you typically associate with the bird. Washed down with a pint of locally-brewed Cloudwater Fuzzy Hazy Pale Ale, it absolutely hit the spot.

Coming in a close second was the deep-fried oyster mushroom roast, which was so packed with flavour that it almost felt like I was eating fried chicken with my Sunday dinner.
As for the beef, it didn't really do it for me – tasting more of herbs than red meat, but then, I don't suppose there are many vegans queueing up the block for a bloody meat substitute.
Wholesome Junkies has long been a favourite with Manchester vegans. First shooting to fame in 2018 with an appearance on BBC2's Million Pound Menu, owner Chelsea appeared on the show to ask for 95,000 to open her own vegan junk food restaurant.
Prior to that, she'd been running her Wholesome Junkies concept as a street food pop-up at sites like Grub and Ancoats General Store.
Whilst her bid to impress the BBC judges was not successful at the time, the TV appearance put her on the map and within a year she had her own Arndale market stall.

Fast forward a few more, and in 2022 she opened her first bricks and mortar restaurant – taking over the former Umezushi site at 4 Mirabel Street.
Since moving in, she's completely transformed it: decking it out in bright colours and filling every corner with quirky little ornaments and decorations.
Strings of fairy lights, hanging mushrooms and frames filled with pictures from local artists all make the small space feel incredibly warm and welcoming – and our visit the restaurant was absolutely packed.

At a time when so many vegan restaurants seem to be closing, it was an absolute joy to see so many bums on seats during our visit.
Veganuary might almost be over, but if you're a vegan – or simply just trying to cut down on your meat consumption – it's definitely worth giving this one a go.

If you're a fan of things in bread (and honestly, who isn't) then there's a new Italian sandwich dealer in town that you absolutely need to get down your neck.
Serving up some of the best butties we've had in a long time, it's called Ad Maiora and is being run by a couple who are making absolutely everything out of a kitchen in their little Manchester flat.
Collected from a nondescript door on a Norther Quarter back street, we're talking giant focaccia-style loaves generously stuffed with premium ingredients like 'nduja, spicy Tuscan sausage, smoked scamorza, mortadella, burrata and red pesto.
The brainchild of Sardinian couple Daniela Steri and Enrico Pinna, all of their sandwiches are made using only top quality Italian ingredients with a total of nine different options to choose from.
From the vegan-friendly La Nonna (Italian hummus, roasted aubergine, olives, sundried tomatoes and rocket) to a huge array of different cheesy and meaty delights, fillings include parma ham, gorgonzola DOP, truffled brie, Milano salami and crumbled pistachios.
Image: The Manc Eats
Their bread is baked freshly by hand each morning using a tiny domestic oven, and they're already baking up to 60 loaves of schiacciata (a traditional Tuscan flatbread) a day to keep up with the demand – putting just four in the oven at a time, over and over again.
Read more: This Manchester pub is hosting an all-you-can-eat Valentine's cheese night
On our visit, the pair tell us that they moved over from Sardinia to the UK six years ago and first tried living in London for a year (they say they hated it) before making the move up to Manchester.
In that time, they say they've fallen in love with the city of Manchester and with the Northern Quarter in particular.
Inspired by the brilliant food scene in their area, two months ago they both decided to pack in their jobs and pursue their own business instead – and haven't looked back since.
Previously, Daniela tells us she'd worked at hotel Dakota in housekeeping for three years whilst her partner, Enrico, had been employed at Ezra and Gil. Despite their hospitality experience, though, neither of them had made bread before.

Healthcare companies are developing new digital technologies to give consumers more control over the care they receive. That could upend the industry's move toward greater consolidation and scale.
Article (PDF-196KB)
In the not-distant future, financially accountable, tech-enabled consumers may avail themselves of a range of discrete digital health services from a variety of providers. As a result, they would be able to create their own health-management ecosystems, acting as stewards of their care and controlling not just where they access it but also how and from whom, as well as the price they pay. The impact of these changes—the friction created between large, fully integrated healthcare systems that prioritize efficiency and scale, and newer, more distributed digital upstarts emphasizing speed and the consumer experience—could put up for grabs $270 billion of the incumbents' current revenues and an additional $13 billion to $24 billion in new ones (exhibit).

Admittedly, several significant barriers must be overcome before that shift in the sector's dynamics can fully take root. At present, the effectiveness of many digital and mobile technologies remains to be proved. In fact, the IT platforms needed to aggregate data and to integrate the consumer experience across care venues and new modalities (e-visits, for example) remain to be built. Other hurdles include concerns about information security and about who should underwrite the cost of adopting these solutions at scale, as well as the potential need for US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval of some devices. But even the modest adoption of the new technologies could have enormous implications for providers and health insurers alike.
According to our research and analysis, technologies that make it possible to deliver primary care less expensively could save $175 billion to $220 billion a year if they came into widespread use. Although consumers are likely to be the primary beneficiaries of the savings, incumbents will probably capture some of the money. Increased automation and self-service could lower their overall administrative costs by an additional $24 billion to $48 billion annually through productivity gains.
Although some of the new technologies will replace more expensive services, others (personal diagnostic devices, for example) will create new classes of offerings. Furthermore, healthcare-utilization levels may rise once primary care becomes cheaper and more accessible. Combined, these factors could generate $13 billion to $24 billion in new revenues for incumbents and technology companies.

To better understand the path to this reordered landscape and its implications for participants in the sector, we interviewed technology innovators, investors, healthcare providers, and insurers. We also surveyed thousands of US consumers. Our research revealed five key findings, three of which we outline here:
Consumers are starting to replace traditional healthcare services with digital ones. Although utilization trails awareness, inroads are being made, particularly among younger Americans. Millennials, for example, are twice as likely as Baby Boomers (and three times as likely as people born before 1945) to use email or text messages to communicate with physicians.
Investment in digital and mobile health and in related technologies is robust and growing. The strongest growth has occurred among direct-to-consumer technologies that require little or no involvement by physicians (for example, wearable fitness trackers and scheduling applications) and among intermediated technologies (more complex ones, such as remote diagnostic equipment, that require a doctor's prescription). Investors appear equally interested in both, but for different reasons: direct-to-consumer technologies for their ability to achieve scale quickly and intermediated ones for their greater cost-reduction potential.
New technologies address consumer dissatisfaction with the current healthcare system. These technologies fall into six categories, all of which could alter the economics of the healthcare system:
self-service tools that make it easier to schedule appointments, renew prescriptions, and pay bills
"quantified self" and wellness tools that assess a patient's health status, monitor adherence to treatment, or enable coaching, as well as devices that can be worn, ingested, or embedded in the human body
clinical-transparency tools that help patients use healthcare services more appropriately by enabling them to make more informed decisions
financial-transparency tools that help consumers to compare prices and benefits from different health plans and providers
virtual-access tools that enable consumers to consult with doctors online, to be monitored remotely, or to receive certain types of care at home
IT platforms that aggregate data from different tools and enable them to work together, as well as technologies that help consumers receive information through multiple channels
While it remains unclear who will pay for the new technologies, most of the stakeholders we interviewed believe that employers, providers, and insurers will assume this responsibility.
Implications for providers and insurers
The more engaged consumers enabled by new digital health technologies could shift the sector's dynamics in three ways:
The basis for competitive advantage changes. The geographic scope of competition, historically concentrated in metropolitan areas, could broaden, especially once digital access points, such as self-service tools, become more prevalent and price- and quality-transparency tools alert consumers to higher-value alternatives.
Consumers become clinical-data integrators. Increasingly, consumers could own and manage their clinical data, which would allow them to decide for themselves who should gain access to that information (and when) in clinical, transactional, and administrative settings.
The roles of providers and insurers evolve. Providers, especially physicians, could find themselves spending less time gathering information about their patients and more time helping them make sense of the information already gathered. Insurers may become trusted advisers, helping consumers to understand how best to manage their financial accountability and risk preferences. They'll have competition for this role, though. Retirement and wealth advisers, for example, could include health-risk assessments and estimates of health costs in the advice they give clients.
How healthcare systems can become digital-health leaders
Notwithstanding the barriers, incumbents should be prepared to make bold changes to their business and operational models to compete in a digital healthcare landscape. Their approach to the coming transformation should be comprehensive and integrated, not a series of random, disconnected initiatives. The transformation process will require frequent trade-offs between physical and digital assets, and all bets on new technologies will probably have to be reviewed every three to six months.
Incumbents shouldn't rely on price as the sole point of competitive difference. Those that prevail will be defined by how well they know their customers—and by how customers behave in a given scenario. Physically active consumers, for example, may be price seekers when they shop for primary-care services but completely indifferent to price when they look for orthopedic surgeons.
The full impact of engaged, tech-enabled healthcare consumers may not be felt for five to ten years, but now is the time for providers and insurers to start preparing for the new reality. If they don't, they might find it too late to remain in the game. In other sectors, many companies that didn't prepare for the impact of digital and mobile technologies eventually lost out to more nimble new entrants.

The Nissan Path :: View topic - rear tow.hook?
Posted: Fri Jan 28, 2011 10:33 pm Post subject: rear tow.hook?
Buddy of mine got his truck stuck.in some deep snow. So I had to pull him out. Only problem was I didn't see anywhere to connect the strap.to. I ended up putting it on the ball on the hitch which probly wasn't a smart move. .is there a hook.under there I just didn't see? Hell I don't remember seeing one in the front when I was last under there.
has both front and rear.
in the rear, there is an eye-hook under the bumper on the left side as well (if youre standing behind it) cant see it in this pic, but its just there beside the tyre.
I keep a draw bar with a 3/4" shackle instead of a ball on it in the back with the jack. When I need it, I can insert it into the receiver and I'm ready to go. I was afraid to use the one in the back that Mar1 pointed out. The strap would really get into the plastic bumper cover.
As for the front, mine did not come with any either, but I bought two of them from Nissan. They only have right side hook, but it will work on the left side with a little trimming on the splash shield and also looks kinda funny.
thanks mar1. I saw the rear tow hook. But i dont not have a front tow hook on my pathy for some reason. If i did i would have been able to get pulled out instead of shoveling with an ice scraper lol.
richardekirby- thats a very good idea. I may jusy have to copy you and try something similiar.
would i be better off with a d-ring or a hook? Once again last nite i had to pull somone out of the snow and put it around the ball since i dont have a front tow hook and the rear one is up to high and would put a lot of stress on the bumper.IM ordering 2 front tow hooks once i can get to the dealer.Im thinking for my use the hook would be better since the tow strap i have has loops on both ends.
Is the concern with using the rear ball hitch that the rope/chain will come off? I have a 1.5" rope with a loop in it, and a hook on the other side. I have never had a problem with slippage, and it works like a charm!
Yes the strap popping off. I've also heard some stories from a few jeep guys that the ball snaps and sends it flying.
I have a strap with 3/4 " shackles on both ends. I hook 1 end into the loop on the hitch that the safety chains hook to, loop the strap around the hitch draw bar & hook the other clevis to the stuck vehicle. Works like a charm & I've never had the strap come loose. I do put an old blanket on the strap mid way between the vehicles to dampen the strap if it should brake.
does anyone have the part number for the front tow hooks? i remember seeing them posted but cant seem to find them.
you don't have to buy it from 4wheelparts.com, but this is for the rear recovery point.
Yeah, my buddy had one of those on the rear of his Grand Cherokee last weekend when we were out wheeling. It was very clean looking and did not stick out as far as mine. I'll probably sacrifice an old draw bar and make one.
I ended up choosing the hook.
I've used it a few times already. Pulled out my.buddies jeep that was stuck in a mud pit.
But id like a better set up on the rear of the car. Yes there is a loop underneath on the nearside, right under the car, but no-one seems to have designed a modded setup to bolt on.
Ive a Bosal swaneck towbar i could use but its designed to tow a trailer maybe not pull the car backwards? It bolts to the rear crossbar. Like this..
I modded the diagram with the torque settings for a printout in my service manual, and also for here on the forum an arrow for good shackle placement???
The towbar ( 4 ) isnt square so not sure if could be swapped for a shackle bar like you guys fit?

152 mm/55 Mod. 1934/1936 — 152-миллиметровое корабельное артиллерийское орудие, разработанное и производившееся в Италии. Состояло на вооружении Королевских ВМС Италии. Было развитием 152-мм орудия Mod. 1926/1929. Модель 1934 года была разработана компанией Ansaldo, модель 1936 года производилась по лицензии компанией OTO. Различия между моделями были незначительны. К началу Второй мировой войны устарели, но широко использовались флотом. Применялись на лёгких крейсерах типа «Джузеппе Гарибальди» в качестве главного калибра и в качестве противоминной артиллерии на линейных кораблях типа «Литторио». Эти орудия оказались наиболее точными из итальянских 152-миллиметровых (6 ") корабельных орудий времён Второй мировой войны.

Model Kickstarts Topless Tour Of Canada
She who Dares To bare
Ladies, it's legal to go topless in Canada, yet few of us are comfortable or willing to do so. Serenity Hart wants to change that. The so-called 'nude model' is kickstarting a coast-to-coast tour of Canada in which she will bare her breasts in busy areas every day in order to spread awareness.
According to a release, inspired by fellow Canadian, Gwen Jacob, who was arrested for baring her breasts in public, Hart wants us to feel comfortable in our (naked) skin.
"I believe that woman all over the world should express themselves by taking their clothes off to demonstrate their beauty in its rawest form," says Hart.
"I intend to demonstrate the strength behind the power of art and how it can unite women to support and empower each other to rise against discrimination and abuse towards women, not only abuse from men, but also self-inflicted mental abuse."
Hart's fundraising project launches on April 2 in advance of her photography and film tour from May 10 through July 26. She is aiming to raise $13,000 to cover food and accommodation costs.
For further details about Serenity Hart and her "Topless Tour," visit her blog and on Facebook.
What do you think of Hart's project? Would you dare to bare if there wasn't so much stigma around public toplessness?
Look what happened at this topless march in Vancouver. See what caused our very own Erica Ehm to get exposed.

Jimmy Kimmel Asks Kids, "Do You Know Any Naughty Words?"
If kids say the darndest things, they also swear in the darndest way
If kids say the darndest things, they also swear in the darndest way. You may have caught a comical video of a boy listing all of the bad words he knows to a cheeky uncle (SPOILER: most had the prefix "butt").
Well, talk show host, Jimmy Kimmel, decided to go one further and take to the streets to ask kids about another kind of naughty list—their meanest vocab.
Of course, the result , courtesy of Huffington Post, is the kind of perfect and spontaneous that only kids can pull off.
Where one boy appears to struggle, 'fessing that he doesn't actually know any naughty words, he finishes off with bleeping finesse. Another trips up in his attempt to spell out his bad word.
While most of the kids concur that "stupid" and "dumb" are, in fact, bad words (aren't they?), others simply relish the opportunity to say "poop" aloud. Needless to say, much giggling and silliness ensues.
Oh, s-i-t-h. What's not to like?
More unbearable kid cuteness.

Top of Mind (TOM) = First brand mentioned by respondents.
Expansive = Scope and spread of brand.
Last Used/ Market Share = Total purchase or last used brand in past 3 months.
Future Intention = Consumer intention to purchase brand.
One of the most important Assets of the company andrepresent identity of a company is the Brand. "Brand or trademarkis a name or symbol that is associated with the product/service andcause psychological meaning/association". In addition, the brandalso as a promotional tools, so that a product with certain brandwould likely gain popularity or awareness in the community levelthat will affect consumer behaviour in the community.
To determine organization performance we could see fromdevelopment of the brand. W&S study based on development ofPBI (Popular Brand Index) concept which included community topof mind brand, expansive or spread of the brand, total purchase orlast used of the brand, and consumer intention to purchase brand.
Incidence Rate Browser Apps (used to Browser Apps in the last 3 months) is 61% from panel population W&S GroupIndonesia.
To see the power of Browser Apps, can be measuredby the level of knowledge of respondents to the BrowserApps. From the results of the Top of Mind (TOM) orBrowser Apps that remembered the first time and thatbrand comes to mind with spontaneously when speakingin the context of Browser Apps are Chrome Browser(32.3%), followed by the Opera Browser (27.9%). Itmeans, Chrome and Opera Browsers are an Browser Appsthat is very popular in Indonesia.
When looking Unaided of Browser Apps that spontaneously comes to mind of the respondent, apparently ChromeBrowser (68.5%) and Opera Browser (61.0%) still dominate. However, when viewed from the Aided or Browser Appsthat respondents remembered after being given assistance (Showcard), Baidu Browser (34.8%) and Firefox Browser(31.2%) were classified into the Browser Apps most often remembered by the respondents. This data indicate thatBrand Recognition is quite low because respondents cannot remember the Browser Apps besides given a showcard. Theincreasing of Baidu Browser ranks fourth in order of rank Total Awareness (58.1%).
Expansive is the spread of Browser Apps that can be seen anywhere, such asads on TV, billboards, internet ads, etc. In this study, Chrome Browser (32.1%) andFirefox Browser (24.9%) was the most often visible Browser Apps.
Last Used / Market Share is measured from the level of the respondentspercentage who used the Browser Apps in the last 3 months.
Also seen, Chrome Browser (31.9%) and Opera Browser (23.5%) areBrowser Apps that most used in the last three months (September ~ November2014). This is one of the positive impact caused by the awareness dominationlevel.
Future Intention measured by the percentage of respondents to the Browser Apps which will beused in the future. Future intention percentage is measured by the Loyal respondents and Switchedrespondents.
In this study, Chrome Browser (32.1%) and Opera Browser (20.1%) are Browser Apps whichhave a big opportunity to be used in the future.
From this research, apparently there are only30.0% of the 860 samples will switch. In simple terms,current Browser Apps and future Browser Apps that willbe used are different. But most of respondents still loyal(70.0%), which they want to use the last used BrowserApps as their future Browser Apps.
In this study, Browser Apps which will get the highest increasing of the number of user in the future is BaiduBrowser (5.3%), and followed by UC Browser (4.9%). But for Chrome Browser only get a little increasing of thenumber of user in the future (0.8%).
By conversion rate, it could inferred from ratio of Ever Used Browser Apps and Brand Awareness. Higher conversionrate indicates that users are aware towards the Browser Apps. Furthermore, it has more possibilities to use Browser Appsin future. And, the data shows that the percentage of many Ever Used Browser Apps is smaller than percentage of BrandAwareness. It means, although respondents know a lot of Browser Apps after given the showcard, actually there is only alittle Browser Apps has been used.

Start with the gauge of the sink. The gauge copper_sink_fixtures (simply click the following internet site) is the thickness of the steel, the smaller sized the number the thicker the steel. A lot of cooking area sink manufacturers produce stainless-steel sinks from 22 gauge to 16 gauge. The thicker steel will cost you more all things being equal. The reason you might desire a thicker steel sink is it is more resistant to damages.Various materials serve to develop a various state of mind. While a stainless steel apron-sink is more contemporary in design, a Copper Sink yields a warm, aged interest a cooking area.But did you know that these copper kitchen sink sinks copper_sinks (visit this website) can can be found in 3 colors that will satisfy your house design needs. They have actually been completed in these colors so they will look gorgeous and regal in your kitchen area.The final option between wood or vinyl boils down to the application in your very own home and your own personal choice. Each style definitely has it's own benefits and drawbacks, although wood is most absolutely the most popular. Vinyl runs a close 2nd, as it is so easy to keep.If a corporation supplies any copper_sinks installation support, check. If you are comfy with sink installation then request for printed guidelines. If installation is new to you, work with somebody who has dealt with copper sinks.A cooking area island is a furniture piece that can be constructed into the house or can be removable. They use access to all sides of the island. When incorporated into any cooking area, these are functional pieces. Use of stainless-steel, as the counter top or the entire island, makes these modern cooking area islands smooth and architecturally pleasing as well.It is very important to bear in mind that inexpensive is not the finest method to go in this instance. Sure, we all enjoy copper_sink_benefits (simply click the following internet site) a sale but this might in fact cost you more cash in the long run. Kitchen area pots and pans that is less then moderately priced is often done so for a factor. That reason being, it is frequently made from a material that is flimsy and will wear out after a few great usages. What you may have thought was the offer of the century, will frequently need to be changed after simply a couple of months. Good cooking area cookware sets can literally last for many years.


#EvanHelpUs: Number retirements that could be on their way; will the Rangers go after Yankees pitcher Sonny Gray?
Here's the latest installment of #EvanHelpUs, where Rangers insider Evan Grant tackles your questions about the team.
Grant: I think "big," is the operative word. I'd be just fine with cutting down on the supersize portion to come up with an item or two - or an entire stand or two - that is dedicated to really well-done Texas food staples. Though the current ballpark does have smokers, I don't think there is an iconic BBQ stand. And that's a sin in Texas.
People will wait in long lines for BBQ at dozens of places all over the state. With Lockhart Smokehouse at Texas Live! at least there is a world-class BBQ destination in the vicinity, but I'd like to see the smoking game upped at the new park. Either pair up with a local BBQ icon (Doing Heim's bacon burnt ends or serving up Pecan Lodge's Haute Mess or Pitmaster sandwich seem like slam dunks) or work with Delaware North to come up with a really standout BBQ spot.
Also, the Tex-Mex taco game must be improved at the new park. Here's an idea: Come up with a tribute Taco to Adrian Beltre that either features Cabrito or GOAT cheese. Or both if they pair well together. Would seem to be the appropriate tribute to the GOAT.
Now, if the Yankees decide to non-tender Gray this Friday, I'd be all for a one- or two-year deal with an eye towards flipping him if he has a good first half (and providing the team does not surprise and sinks deep in the standings early in the season). I think the Yankees will try to move him rather than go down that road, but if that's where they are after Friday, I think it would make a lot of sense for the Rangers.
@Evan_P_Grant Listened to your podcast. A thought about retiring numbers. What about Michael Young? His #10 has not been worn since 2012. Surely that's a sign of retiring? If so, do you think they'd acknowledge Sunny as well?
Grant: Oh, you mean the Ballzy Podcast (available on iTunes and various other audio stores for free)? Glad you mentioned it because I would never self-promote. Never.
But to the point David Moore and I discussed about the retiring of numbers, I'd just say I believe the Rangers should be more proactive on that front. The Rangers, I think, feel like they have a medium step for players who constitute the Hall of Very Good: The team Hall of Fame. On retiring numbers, they are much more conservative. Aside from Jackie Robinson's 42, which is retired throughout baseball, the Rangers only have three retired numbers: 34 (Nolan Ryan), 26 (Johnny Oates) and 7 (Ivan Rodriguez).
I'd suggest that both Young and Beltre are worthy of jersey retirements, regardless of the fact that Jim Sundberg and Rusty Greer also wore Nos. 10 and 29, as well. Bring back Sunny and Rusty for those ceremonies and say they set the standard that Young and Beltre both followed and took it to the next level. Acknowledge their contributions to the organization, but don't let the fact that other good players wore the number before Young and Beltre create an impediment to their worthy jersey retirements.
And, yes, be more proactive. Once a guy is inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame, that's the culmination. If his jersey hasn't been retired by the club whose hat he is wearing on his Hall of Fame plaque by the time the induction rolls around, then it's too late.
Grant: The guys I wonder about most are lefty reliever Brady Feigl, right-handed reliever Reed Garrett and utility infielder Josh Morgan. Also outfielder Pedro Gonzalez intrigues me. But Morgan is probably a full year from being ready even for a backup role and Gonzalez is probably behind him.
As for the pitchers, well, if anybody is poised to make it a full year as a Rule 5 guy, isn't it the situational lefty? But while Feigl wasn't beaten up by right-handed hitters, he didn't dominate lefties either. He's 28 and only reached Triple-A for the first time last year. Maybe I'm overestimating Feigl, but I think he'd offer some attractiveness to a team that could try to stash a lefty. Which would then bring me to this question: Why would he be left unprotected? Answer: I have to believe the Rangers have a better feel on this. They are in no position to allow one of their pitchers to get plucked. They don't have the kind of depth in the system where they can allow anybody with a chance to slip away.
Which brings me to Garrett. He throws hard. I thought he'd end up in the big leagues at some point this season, but, alas that did not happen. Biggest factor: Though his ERA wasn't bad at all at Triple-A Round Rock, he was hit pretty hard upon promotion to that level. He's 25 and has an intriguing arm as a reliever.
#EvanHelpUs if all 30 MLB teams represent a member of a large Thanksgiving family dinner, what role do the Rangers play?
Grant: It would be your 47-year-old unmarried cousin who can be a lot of fun, but there are times when you say "that man ain't right." And come to think of it, I was 47 when I got married and I was often that guy at the table that folks laughed with, but maybe also laughed at. Oh my god, the Rangers would be me!
#EvanHelpUs any chance of a @Rangers reunion with @JakeDiekman ? He needs to come back to Texas!
Grant: Not out of the realm of possibilities. Diekman really enjoyed his time here. Taking a one- or two-year chance on a lefty with his kind of stuff could pay dividends in the flipping market down the road. But his mechanics are wonky and he can fall out of alignment pretty badly. When he does, bad things happen. Also with Alex Claudio, C.D. Pelham, Jeffrey Springs and possibly Zac Curtis, the Rangers might be full up on lefties.
Grant: Yes. The better question: Is center field a realistic option for Gallo?
To that, I think he can play the position just fine. He's a remarkably good athlete with really good outfield instincts. And if you play Gallo in center, it does give you the opportunity to get Gallo, Willie Calhoun, Nomar Mazara and Shin-Soo Choo all in the lineup at the same time if you want to load up on lefties and don't care about the quality of the outfield defense.
I just have concerns that even one season of playing center field regularly would take a pretty significant toll on Gallo's body and would possibly diminish offensive returns.
Grant: I like where your head is at on Syndergaard, but even if you pulled that off, you'd have a rotation of Thor, Minor and Drew Smyly and a whole lot more work to do. You'd have to pay ridiculous amounts of money for Machado at third base. You'd still be short.
I think this winter is still about biding time, reorganizing and recalibrating. I expect the team to be more willing to spend on free agents heading into 2020 when they are closer to being ready to win.
Grant: You could have a three-catcher rotation already on hand, couldn't you, with Mathis, Isiah Kiner-Falefa and Jose Trevino? You could plan on each guy getting about 50-55 starts behind the plate with IKF moving around the diamond for another 50 starts. I think having Mathis around those two young catchers would help them considerably with learning the craft. There would also be ways to massage the roster to carry only two of the three at certain points to allow you more roster flexibility. And never forget the presence of Jett Bandy, too!
I think the Rangers are liable to add a little more catching depth here, but I don't think it's going to be in the shape of somebody who the club would plan on having catch a significant number of games. This is why I think the signing of Mathis essentially closed the door on any possibility of Robinson Chirinos return.


Material Immaterial, the theme chosen by Interni, is an invitation to explore the dual spirit of design: on the one hand, the universe of materials, the physical, concrete essence of design; on the other, the immaterial dimension of creation, starting with the thinking of designers, increasingly aided by digital technologies and influenced by virtual reality.

The exhibition Matrix explored human existence and the role of design in the information age. Yang Dongjiang narrated (through a labyrinthine landscape of towers made with packing crates and large monitors showing video images of projects, visions, spaces and forms of Chinese design) the idea that the contrast between material and immaterial does not exist. And that Chinese design today has to meet multiple challenges, because urban growth and mass information raise fundamental issues about human existence.
"The theme Material Immaterial is perfect to describe Brazilian design, because it lets you demonstrate the great variety of typical Brazilian materials and their immaterial values. Brazilian design is variegated because our country is very large. But there is one common characteristic: that natural beauty of materials like stone, wood and fibers, used in a pure way. There is also one personality that represents us: Oscar Niemeyer, the great architect and master of Brazilian design, who designed our capital, Brasilia. The aim of the exhibition is to shed light on Brazilian companies and to promote them thanks to the support of Apex-Brasil, the agency for the promotion of Brazilian exports".
Urban Up – Unipol Projects Cities took part in the FuoriSalone with two initiatives that were presented in the context of Interni Material Immaterial: Urban Up – Milan Virtual Experience and Live the City. The first, at Ca' Litta (Via Pantano 26), offered an evocative virtual reality experience to allow visitors to enter five major real estate projects of Gruppo Unipol in progress in Milan. One of the projects is the Torre GalFa, the historic Milanese skyscraper from the 1950s, now undergoing an ambitious renovation project. The second initiative, Live the City, took place at De Castillia 23, the building owned by Gruppo Unipol at Porta Nuova, whose renovation has been done by Progetto CMR. The building came alive in the evening during the FuoriSalone thanks to a giant scree, 26×19 m, displaying the video Live the City, specially prepared by Urban Up in collaboration with Interni. The video narrated the Material Immaterial theme and the Urban Up projects.
"Fabric-Action is part of the project Valnerina Experience, which promotes activities of research and development on the economic future of the areas recently damaged by the earthquake, through very concrete projects of material experimentation. Fabric-Action gives a traditional material like hemp new meanings in relation to advanced digital fabrication and the world of makerspaces and open innovation.
Small design installations enhanced the courtyard of Università degli Studi and embellished the exhibition-event.

By Magis, the Dodo rocking bird designed by Oiva Toikka for the Me Too collection, produced in rotomolded polyethylene.

S Pen Support on the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra is a Dumb Idea
The Samsung Galaxy S21 is almost here, with Samsung having scheduled an Unpacked event for January 14. The main event, of course, is expected to be the Galaxy S21, with the new top-tier model being the Galaxy S21 Ultra.
The Galaxy S21 Ultra will offer the best-of-the-best specs, a super high-end camera, and more. But there's one rumored feature that might help it blur the line between the Galaxy S series and the Galaxy Note series. According to many rumors, the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra will support the S Pen.
This is a … strange move from Samsung.
A sub-par experience
The first reason that it's strange Samsung is bringing S Pen support to the Galaxy S21 Ultra is that it doesn't really sound like a great experience. The Galaxy Note series in general is arguably built around the S Pen. There's a slot for it right in the phone, making it easily accessible, and always on hand. When Samsung can count on the user always having the S Pen with the phone, it can tailor that experience.
We're expecting the Galaxy S21 Ultra to support the S Pen, but not come with it or even have a slot for it. How will that actually work? Well, it sounds clumsy.
Julian Chokkattu/Digital Trends
If you have to buy the S Pen separately, a small fraction of people will do so. The best part about the Note line is that every phone comes with the exact same stylus, so people give it a shot and often find a way to integrate it into their lifestyle. If you have to pay separately to get it, the adoption rate will surely be poor.

But even if you buy it, you then have to find a way to carry it around.
There is a rumored Galaxy S21 Ultra case that includes a space for the S Pen, but even this is limiting. It means that if you want a good experience with the S Pen on the S21 Ultra, you can only buy certain cases — Samsung would love that, of course, as it'll have a range of expensive first-party options. Otherwise, you have to deal with having to carry the phone and the S Pen around separately, which just isn't going to work. The phone's software can't offer S Pen-only experiences if it doesn't know that you'll always have an S Pen.
No love for Note
There is, of course, a future in which this move could make sense — a world in which there is no Note series, or the Note series is converted into some line of foldable phones. This isn't as out-there as you might think. A number of rumors over the past few months have indicated that Samsung is preparing to kill the Note series as we know it, although that may not be for another year or so, after a new Galaxy Note 21 is released.
Of course, a move like this would seriously limit availability of the S Pen. The Galaxy Note series isn't cheap, but with three models available, all of which offer S Pen support, there is some choice. If Samsung kills the Note, and only adds S Pen support to the "Ultra" Galaxy S going forward, it means that to get stylus support in a Samsung phone, you'll have to shell out north of $1,400, if Samsung sticks with the same pricing of as the Galaxy S20 series.
ALSO READ North Dakota's Contact-Tracing App is Leaking Users' Data
More likely is a kind of "convergence" of the two lines, where all Galaxy S devices support the S Pen but don't necessarily come with it or offer a slot for it. Then, the Ultra model picks up an S Pen slot on the top end. Again, this makes for a radically less appealing customer experience, but at least it would allow users who want the S Pen to use it without having to shell out so much cash. Although it can be argued that Samsung's current strategy with the less-expensive base Galaxy Note 20 addressed that problem.
The future of the Samsung stylus
If the last few years have proven anything, it's the fact that people still like the stylus. The Apple Pencil is a serious hit, and some rumors even indicate future iPhone models will support it. The Note series may not sell anywhere near as much as the S series, but for the set of customers that do buy the Note, the S Pen is incredibly important. They care more about the "Note" brand than the "Samsung" brand.
It's entirely possible that adding the S Pen to the Galaxy S is just a one-off shot to introduce more people to the power of the stylus, and that the Note series is here to stay. Hopefully, Samsung will keep the user experience front-of-mind as it blurs the line between its two most popular phones.

Хосе Игнасио «Начо» Гонсалес Саэнс (; ) — испанский футболист; тренер.

Биография
Гонсалес завершил свою карьеру футболиста в возрасте 20 лет, в ходе которой играл лишь на любительском уровне. Свою тренерскую карьеру он начинал в клубе «Алавес» из своего родного города, с 1994 года работая с молодёжной командой. В 1997 году Начо Гонсалес возглавил вторую команду «Алавеса».

В 2004 году Гонсалес был назначен главным тренером клуба «Реус Депортиу», который под его руководством добился выхода в Сегунду B по итогам сезона 2004/05. В сезоне 2005/06 «Реус Депортиу» занял 17-е место в своей группе, вылетев обратно в Терсеру, боровшись за сохранение места в лиге до последнего тура.

В июне 2007 года Гонсалес возглавил другой каталонский клуб «Сант-Андреу», также выступавший в то время в Терсере. Команда под его руководством с первой попытки добилась выхода в Сегунду B, а четыре года спустя после назначения Начо Гонсалес был уволен из-за финансовых проблем в клубе.

14 июня 2012 года Начо Гонсалес был назначен главным тренером «Алавеса», который по итогам сезона 2012/13 выиграл свою группу в Сегунде B и, одолев «Реал Хаэн» в плей-офф, вышел в Сегунду. 7 июня 2013 года Начо Гонсалес продлил свой контракт с клубом.

3 декабря 2013 года Гонсалес был уволен после неудачного старта в Сегунде. 1 июня следующего года он вернулся в «Реус Депортиу», выступавший тогда в Сегунде B.

8 июня 2015 года Гонсалес заключил с клубом новый четырёхлетний контракт. В сезоне 2015/16 «Реус Депортиу» вышел в 1/16 финала Кубка Испании, где уступил мадридскому «Атлетико», а также выиграл свою группу в Сегунде B и играл в плей-офф. Одолев там сантандерский «Расинг» по сумме двух встреч 4:0, «Реус Депортиу» впервые в своей истории добился выхода в Сегунду.

11 июня 2017 года Начо Гонсалес подписал двухлетний контракт с другим клубом Сегунды «Реал Сарагоса».
