Officially Confirmed: Argentina MotoGP Round Postponed Until 2014, Qatar A Week Later
Submitted by David Emmett on Fri, 2012-11-23 18:00
The 2013 Argentinian round of MotoGP has been canceled, as we forecast it would be yesterday. Today, Dorna issued a statement on the cancellation, and the FIM issued a new 18-race calendar without Argentina on it.
As explained yesterday, the decision to cancel the round has been forced upon Dorna by the Spanish government, which is recommending that Repsol staff should not travel to Argentina, after the Argentinian government nationalized Repsol YPF, the Argentine subsidiary of the Spanish oil giant. With Repsol behind several different riders and teams in the championship, going without Repsol-backed riders would have left the starting grid decimated.
Though Argentina is off the calendar for 2013, Dorna have expressed the intention to go to South America as soon as possible. The Termas de Rio Hondo circuit has a three-year deal to host the Argentinian Grand Prix, and if the political dispute between Argentina and Repsol has been settled, then the race will be back on the calendar in 2014. The 2014 MotoGP calendar should be a more international affair, with a race in Southeast Asia also likely to feature on the schedule.
With Argentina canceled, the calendar is now back to just 18 races. No circuit will be drafted in to replace Argentina, the round being dropped altogether. As we reported yesterday, the Qatar round has been moved back a week to April 7th to reduce the gap between the first two races on the calendar to two weeks instead of three. The dropping of Argentina and the rescheduling of Qatar leaves only Jerez still subject to contract, though that race is almost certain to go ahead as scheduled. The new race schedule now no longer carries the designation "provisional", and is unlikely to change any further. The latest MotoGP calendar is show below, and the most recent version is always available on our 2013 MotoGP calendar page.
Below is the press release from Dorna, explaining the decision to cancel the Argentinian round:
Explanation about the non-inclusion of the Gran Premio de la República Argentina on the 2013 MotoGP™ calendar
The Gran Premio de la República Argentina, which was set to take place at the Termas de Rio Hondo circuit early next year, has not been included on the 2013 calendar.
On June 20th 2012, the Spanish government recommended that teams and riders sponsored by Repsol should not travel to the República Argentina due to safety reasons. Therefore, the celebration of the 2013 Gran Premio de la República Argentina remained under suspension until such recommendation would be kept in force.
The deadline for Dorna Sports, commercial rights holder of the MotoGP™ World Championship, to officially propose the 2013 MotoGP calendar to FIM was November 18th.
On November 20th, the Spanish government notified through email sent to Dorna Sports the withdrawal of the above referred recommendation, when the time for the calendar presentation had already expired and therefore, there was no possibility to include a new MotoGP event.
Anyhow, Dorna Sports commits itself to include Gran Premio de la República Argentina on the 2014 calendar and onwards, to be approved by FIM subject to the homologation of the track which presumably shall take place within the first quarter of 2013.
Dorna Sports recognizes the Gran Premio de la República Argentina Promoter´s efforts regarding the satisfactorily termination of the construction works and the organization and promotion preliminary activities.

This decision by Dorna is a huge disappointment. Here was an opportunity to go to a new place (and all manufacturers such as Honda and Yamaha and even Ducati) have been saying that the future of growth of the motorcycle industry is in the East/Asia and Dorna seems to have missed an opportunity to go to India, Indonesia or even China. I do not know the preparedness of Indonesia to host a MotoGP race but India is ready since it is already hosting F1 and from next year WSBK races and China too has a circuit that is actively being used for F1. Dorna and the respective motorsport governing bodies in each of the countries that I have mentioned have lost an opportunity to break new ground. All in all, a matter of great pity.
It´s a shame

Argentina is a great country, very knowledgeable and passionate about motorsport. It´s sad when the world of sport is affected by political issues. I do hope the organisers, the country and the sponsors are able to find a common ground. I believe for the series having a GP in South America is a great opportunity. Saludos amigos de Argentina.
2 days?
thecosman replied on Sat, 2012-11-24 20:36
The travel restriction policy was cancelled 2 days after the deadline for finalizing the calendar? Sounds like someone in the Spanish gov't wanted to send a message to Argentina and Dorna had to go along with it, willing or not.

On the contrary, there may be one less race in Spain ;-)

If the Argentinian government nationalized Repsol YPF, why would Repsol employees be in danger in Argentina?
Shouldn't it be Repsol that's pissed off and not the other way around? I would think that there would be more anger towards Repsol if they were still operating there (assuming the usual oil company behavior in such countries) than now that they're gone. Odd.

Vulnerability Information
ATMFD.DLL Memory Corruption Vulnerability - CVE-2015-2387
An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in Adobe Type Manager Font Driver (ATMFD) when it fails to properly handle objects in memory. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could execute arbitrary code and take complete control of an affected system. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights.
To exploit the vulnerability, an attacker would first have to log on to a target system and then run a specially crafted application. The security update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how ATMFD handles objects in memory.
This vulnerability has been publicly disclosed. It has been assigned Common Vulnerability and Exposure number CVE-2015-2387. When this bulletin was originally released, Microsoft was aware of limited, targeted attacks that attempt to exploit this vulnerability.
Mitigating Factors
Microsoft has not identified any mitigating factors for this vulnerability.
The following workarounds may be helpful in your situation:
Rename ATMFD.DLL Note This workaround is applicable to all operating systems except Windows Server 2003 due to active file protection. See Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 222193 for more information
For 32-bit systems:
Enter the following commands at an administrative command prompt:
cd "%windir%\system32"
takeown.exe /f atmfd.dll
icacls.exe atmfd.dll /save atmfd.dll.acl
icacls.exe atmfd.dll /grant Administrators:(F)
rename atmfd.dll x-atmfd.dll
Restart the system.
cd "%windir%\syswow64"
Optional procedure for Windows 8 and newer systems (disable ATMFD):

New Hibernia Review
The Discovery of Bloom's Misreading: Metaphysics, Mysticism, and the Role of the Unconscious in "Calypso"
Tiffany L. Fajardo
Center for Irish Studies at the University of St. Thomas
Volume 20, Number 2, Summer/Samhreadh 2016
10.1353/nhr.2016.0028
Rent from DeepDyve
The influence of Jewish mysticism on Ulysses, particularly as it relates to the theme of metempsychosis or reincarnation, has been under-recognized by critics. The doctrine of metempsychosis blurs the boundary between mysticism and metaphysics, reconciling the tensions of Hebraism and Hellenism by demonstrating not only their cultural reciprocity, but also their sympathetic envisioning of a soul in a way that is distinct from the Irish-Catholic tradition. This has implications for the range of unconscious responses that Bloom has to Rudy's death, as sin theologizes the formerly secular Greek soul and introduces the problem of evil. The psychological dimension of the soul plays a pivotal role in "Calypso," for the word "metempsychosis" can be seen to emerge as an instance of Freudian parapraxis. Although the popular notion involves only errors in speech, Freud delineates several other parapraxial categories relevant to interpreting Ulysses, including mistakes in reading. In each case of parapraxis, the error reveals a powerful unconscious motive on the part of the subject. In Ulysses, this unconscious motive manifests itself in Bloom's repression of his son's death. However, the unconscious in Greek thought was also synonymous with anamnesis, or the ability of the soul to "recollect" a priori knowledge. As such, Jewish mysticism can be seen to emerge from within the work as a positive unconscious "motive" which counteracts the negative repression of Rudy's death. By employing the doctrine of anamnesis, Joyce recovers the Jewish mystical tradition even as Bloom remains unconscious of the knowledge's source.


I've been struck recently by the power and surprise of unintended consequences.
Or, with gene editing, what if we are successful at eradicating illness and preserving life forever? What new challenges will that present? How will we eat? How will we not consume all of earth's natural resources? Or perhaps the life-saving potential will ultimately be canceled out by the life-harming potential — it's clearly just as possible to use gene editing to weaponize mosquitos as it is to sterilize them.
Or, with the democratization of media — on the one hand radically increasing freedom of expression, but also laying the foundation for the "fake news" problem. I don't think anyone who believed in the power of social networks to enable free speech and political organizing online really saw that coming, and it's a real, hard problem.
That's one approach that seems reasonably and will hopefully be effective, at least in some cases. But for most of what we're doing there is no natural "undo" function, so we must think about other ways to manage, or at the very least, quantify and understand, the consequences of what we're making.

A triple bill of animated features. 'Hop' (2011), a state-of-the-art blend of CGI-animation and live action, follows E.B. (voiced by Russell Brand), the teenage son of the Easter Bunny. When E.B. arrives in Hollywood with ambitions of finding fame, his dreams are almost cut short when he is hit by a car driven by unemployed slacker Fred (James Marsden). Deciding to get what he can out of the situation, E.B. convinces Fred to take him home while he recovers from his injuries. Fred finds himself with a very demanding house-guest and the duo embark on a battle of wills that may just teach them both something important. 'Despicable Me' (2010), follows an arch criminal who has a change of heart. Trying to outdo his main rival Vector (Jason Segel), serial villain Gru (Steve Carell) hatches a plan to steal the moon, aided by his army of genetically altered corn pops. All goes according to plan until the arrival at his door of three little orphan girls, Margo (Miranda Cosgrove), Agnes (Elsie Fisher) and Edith (Dana Gaier), in search of a father figure. In 'The Lorax' (2012), 12-year-old Ted (Zac Efron) has spent his childhood in Thneed-Ville, an entirely artificial city. When Audrey (Taylor Swift), the girl of his dreams, expresses her desire to see a real tree, Ted sets out to find it. Along the way he meets the reclusive Once-ler (Ed Helms), who tells the story of the Lorax (Danny DeVito), a grumpy yet charming creature, who fights to protect his world after a revolutionary industrial invention leads to the total destruction of the beautiful forests surrounding Ted's town.

We ship almost our entire range of products to all countries in the European Union. The only exception to this is our hardware bundles. If you place an order for a hardware bundle for delivery outside of the UK your order will be cancelled. We're not being grouches, as they're such high value items we want to make sure that they're delivered in the most safest and most efficient way. We're working on a tracked postage solution for you and hope to resolve this as soon as possible, stay tuned!
For European Delivery, we can offer you a standard 3-6 day delivery window, starting from the very moment that the goods are despatched.

Q | How do I select EU delivery?
Select the EU Delivery option when you get to the checkout. This will calculate the correct total for you - otherwise the extra EU postage fee will be added automatically after the checkout process is completed. Doing this will save you the surprise!
Q | Do you ship to outside the EU?
Currently, we do not ship to territories outside of the EU. We are looking into delivery options at the moment and hope to be able to deliver before the end of the year.
Q | How will I know when my order has been sent?

From the time you receive your despatch confirmation email we would expect you to receive your order:

Q | One of the items is missing from my order. What do I do?
We endeavour to ship your whole order in as few packages as possible but sometimes items are sent separately. All items that should be in your package should be listed on your delivery note. If this does not match, please let us know straight away.
To give you some peace of mind, we'll be sure to send you an email to let you know when each item is on its way. Pre-orders placed with other items will be despatched separately prior to release day.
Q | What happens if I am not at home to accept my delivery?
Due to the size of most of our products, usually they don't require you to be at home to take delivery as they will fit through your letterbox.
In the event that you have ordered products which will not fit through your letterbox, (and you aren't in to take delivery) then the postal service will follow their usual procedure. For UK orders this usually means a card is left to notify you of an attempted delivery and the item will be held at your local sorting office. For items attempted for delivery by a courier service they will also leave a card and allow you to arrange for redelivery or collection.
Q | Am I able to change the delivery address to something other than my registered PayPal address?
For the time being, we're unable to deliver your order to an alternative address - meaning all items will be posted to the address that's linked to your PayPal account.
Q | Do you deliver on Bank Holidays?
Bank Holidays are not classed as working days so we don't include these in our estimated delivery times. On these days, you can expect your delivery on the next working day following the Bank Holiday.

Charlotte Auerbach, född den 14 maj 1899 i Krefeld i Tyskland,  död den 17 mars 1994, var en genetiker.

Auerbach var dotter till kemisten Friedrich Auerbach och allmänläkaren Selma Auerbach.  Hon föddes i Krefeld men växte upp i Berlin dit familjen flyttat när hon var några år gammal.  Hennes intresse för naturen och biologi uppmuntrades av fadern, och hon studerade bland annat biologi på Berlins Universitet. 1924 tog hon examen i biologi, kemi och fysik. Hon tog även lärarexamen senare samma år.  De följande åren arbetade hon som lärare, och började på en doktorsexamen. Nazismens framväxt i Tyskland gjorde dock det svårt för Auerbach, som var judisk. 1933 lämnade hon landet och började studera vid Edinburghs universitet.

Auerbach blev välkänd efter 1942 då hon tillsammans med J. M. Robson upptäckte att senapsgas kan orsaka mutationer hos bananflugor. Denna upptäckt och hennes senare arbeten la grunden för mutagenes, det vill säga konsten att på konstgjord väg framställa mutationer i DNA. 1947 publicerade hon barnboken Adventures with Rosalind under namnet Charlotte Austen. 1977 fick hon utmärkelsen "The Royal Society Darwin Medal". En av hennes studenter var biologen Steve Jones. Hon har också fått en väg uppkallad efter sig, Charlotte-Auerbach-Straße i Stuhr-Brinkum.

Q: Second C Linkage of overloaded function not allowed C2733 So I am using Visual Studio 2015 and some online library I found,and in the sample project everything is working, but when i make my own, I get errors.
Errors are found in file cmath.
When i build my project i get
'abs' , 'pow' , 'abs' , 'acos' , ..., second C linkage of overloaded function not allowed.
How can i fix this ? I tried setting
Properties->General->Project Defaults -> Character set to Use Multi-Byte Character Set or No set, but still get errors.
Thanks !
Note 1:
It looks like inside file cmath there are two functions of each mathematical function that make problem like:
_Check_return_ inline double abs(_In_ double _Xx) _NOEXCEPT
{
    return (_CSTD fabs(_Xx));
}

_Check_return_ inline float abs(_In_ float _Xx) _NOEXCEPT
{
    return (_CSTD fabsf(_Xx));
}

Why are there two of these functions and why would this represent a problem ?

A: File was .cpp and library was for C. So this made some errors, after changing extension of file to .c errors dissapeared

Report: New York Man Files Risperdal Gynecomastia Lawsuit
ALBANY, N.Y. — After suffering from the effects of Risperdal for nearly his entire life, a New York man is filing a lawsuit against Johnson & Johnson for failing to adequately protect consumers as they promoted the prescription of the drug for unapproved uses, according to WIVB 4.
Shaquil Bird began taking the drug at age 9 in 2002 and continued to do so until 2007, at which point he had already been suffering from gynecomastia for years. The development of male breasts in Bird was so significant that he suffered from insecurities and ridicule as he began lactating and noticing "actual breast tissue."
Although Bird had surgery to remove the breasts in 2014, he still cites them as a cause for a lifetime of mental anguish and struggle.
When asked for comment, Bird's lawyer went on to say "the FDA hadn't approved it to be used by children. Instead, it was a drug used to treat schizophrenic adults." This has brought outrage by Bird and his family as his mother commented, "I felt like they used him as a guinea pig to be honest."
While Johnson & Johnson issued a later warning saying the side effect may be present once for every 1000 Risperdal cases, Bird's lawyer claims that "In reality, they knew it was a frequent side effect and one that could happen to as many as 1 out of 20 or 1 out of 15 patients."
Litigation is currently pending and awaiting a judges decision on dismissing a Johnson & Johnson motion that would allow Byrd's case to go to trial.

Bizosys Built a Real-Time Search & Analytics Hadoop Engine
Dr Mark van Rijmenam / 2 min read.
floq.to/ZbfT0
Company Bizosys Technologies
Address 2630, 27th Main, Sector 1, HSR Layout, Bangalore – 560 102, India
Founders Sunil Guttula, Abinasha Karana, Sridhar Dhulipala
Founded April 10, 2010
Funding Self-funded
Employees 12
Website www.bizosys.com/
Rating 6 bits
Bizosys Technologies is an Indian big data startup that delivers big data solutions for companies in the Pharma, Telecom or eCommerce industries. They have developed HSearch, which is a real-time search and analytics engine on Hadoop. HSearch works with text content as well as database records and it uses an indexing algorithm to process the data parallel across machines. It is available as an open source tool, but they offer a paid version that includes support and management features.
Next to their HSearch solution, Bizosys offers a consulting service to identify bottlenecks within an organisation and will suggest recommendations where necessary. In addition, they have developed a configurable framework that is capable of aggregating unstructured and semi-structured data from existing systems and make it searchable from within this application.
The three co-founders of Bizosys, Sunil Guttula, Abinasha Karana & Sridhar Dhulipala, all worked at Infosys in Bangalore. Founded in April 2010, it has been operational since without any outside funding. They primarily focus on Small and Medium sized enterprises. When they started, their objective was: "to develop a business operating system that is easy to build, robust, scalable and especially intended for frequently changing, rapid deploy, long tail of applications."
As an open source tool, HSearch has currently been downloaded over 4.000 times in more than 80 different countries. They have developed the architecture in such a way that it is highly scalable and provides elasticity in sync with application usage growth. Currently they have filled for patent in the USA, which is still pending.
Byzosys Technologies has won several awards in India; among others they made the top 10 in India software product companies from Nasscom. Real-time analytics based on Hadoop is a powerful tool for organisations and with their open source tool being regularly downloaded in many countries, they have the possibility to leverage that and grow further by selling the enterprise editions to companies. They already have some customers in the USA, which is likely to grow. We therefore give them a 6 bits rating.

8 Things That You Never Expect On Holden Commodore | holden commodore
By Mary Voss On 12 September 2020 In Holden | No Comments
The Holden Commodore has finally died at the age of 42. It's not the end of the road for the legendary Holden name however, as there's another special series of cars on the horizon called the Ford Focus.
The Holden Commodore was launched in 1990 and quickly became a sensation in the auto industry. The car was so popular, in fact, that the company went into administration just three years later. But the Commodore managed to keep its place at the top of the heap with a few years more refinement. The model has been well received by both consumers and journalists.
The Ford Focus will be a completely different design with a much higher price tag attached to it. But in the meantime, it's a good move for the company because the Ford Focus will continue to be one of the most successful family vehicles around. As a matter of fact, the Ford Focus has sold more vehicles in a single day than any other family vehicle.
There are several models to choose from with the Ford Focus. However, the most important part of the model is the Ford Focus RS. This model has been out of production since 2020 but now the model is back on the market and ready for a comeback.
The Ford Focus RS will feature the exact same suspension system as the current Commodore but it'll be fitted with the new turbocharged Ford engine. The car will also feature front airbags as standard and a special racing wing on the back. This allows the Focus RS to be classified as a touring car rather than a pure family car.
The Holden Commodore was the first vehicle to feature the new Ford Mustang. This model is also on sale today and has a twin-turbocharged V6 engine. This engine gives the car a great power and speed but it also means that fuel consumption is slightly higher. However, the car's excellent fuel efficiency rating means that drivers can still enjoy a long, comfortable driving experience.
The Ford Focus will likely be a mid-size vehicle that comes with all the standard features like a push button starting system, cruise control and a lockable trunk. However, the Focus has added some extras. For instance, it will feature an emergency brake that can be used in case the engine suddenly falters and it will also come standard with a large glove box that holds a host of accessories.
The new Ford Focus will be hitting the showrooms later this year and should be on the road in early 2020. It's great to see the company continue to support its heritage by continuing to release new products to keep up with the latest technology. Although the Ford Focus will be a new car, there's no doubt that it will continue to attract the attention of critics and drivers alike.
The interior design for the Ford Focus has been completely overhauled and is said to look more modern than before. In fact, it's been described as a new generation car and more 'hip'. The interior will feature leather seating and there is also expected to be some form of navigation facility.
The exterior design of the Ford Focus is also expected to remain similar to the current model. It will feature all the features of a modern small car with a rear bumper that sits very low. However, the bumper will be fitted with new body kit that will give the car an aggressive look.
One of the features that we expect to see included in the new Ford Focus is a high performance version that features the turbocharged Ford EcoBoost engine. This powertrain produces more power than any of the current models and is estimated to produce up to 300 horsepower. Although the new engine is not likely to feature a manual gearbox like the current model, it will be possible to shift gears manually using the keyless entry system.
Another exciting addition to the car is the introduction of the new turbocharged Ford EcoBoost engine that will replace the outgoing Ford EcoSport engine. The new turbo will create enough power to drive the car further and accelerate faster than ever before.

Formula E To Make FoS Debut
James Charman
A car from the innovative global motorsporting phenomenon that is the FIA Formula E Championship will make its first appearance at the Festival of Speed in 2016.
Renault E.Dams team, the reigning Formula E champion team, will be giving its title-winning Spark-Renault Z.E.15, which has already notched up two wins this season, several runs up the hillclimb during the weekend.
In just two years Formula E has become one of the most popular series around the globe, with race events taking place in city centres and the entire race meeting (practice, qualifying and the race itself) all taking place on one day.
E.Dams driver Sebastien Buemi is currently the most successful in Formula E with five wins across the two seasons and sits just a handful of points behind championship leader Lucas di Grassi in this year's Drivers' Championship.
Renault E.Dams itself currently sits atop the Teams' Championship with a seven-point advantage over di Grassi's ABT Audi Sport squad and holds the record for the most wins – six to date.
With the 2016 finale taking place just one week after the Festival, Formula E's presence at Goodwood will be the perfect opportunity for the always-passionate British fans to get up close to one of the leading teams and its front-running racer.
Tickets are still available for the 2016 Festival of Speed but are selling fast! For more information visit ticketing.goodwood.com.

Feed innovation targets aquaculture competitiveness
A natural microalgae-based fish feed could help European aquaculture to achieve production efficiencies in a sustainable manner.
Food and Natural Resources

Europe's aquaculture sector plays a critical economic role, especially in coastal and rural areas. The sector is mainly composed of SMEs and microenterprises, and directly employs some 70 000 people. While the EU's overall volume output has been more or less constant since 2000, global production has been growing by nearly 7 % per year. Increasing competition from other parts of the world has placed pressure on European producers to find ways of cutting costs and achieving greater efficiencies. "Current solutions, such as using antibiotics to reduce fish mortality rates and aquafeed with incorporated fishmeal and fish oil to improve growth, are inefficient, costly and extremely unsustainable," says ALGABOOSTER project coordinator Manuel Tárraga, project development director at Spanish SME Buggypower. "There is a clear need for feed alternatives that achieve efficiencies in a sustainable, environmentally friendly and antibiotic-free manner." To address these concerns, Tárraga and his team have developed a natural aquafeed enriched with marine microalgae. High-purity microalgae biomass, produced through a patented cultivation process, is used instead of freeze-dried biomass, thus eliminating the costly drying process. The feed is designed to boost fish immune systems and growth, and is tailored to achieving efficiencies in the farming of gilthead seabream. "For a medium-scale producer possessing between 10 and 15 aquaculture tanks, the aquafeed cost of 610-day pre-fattening and fattening of gilthead seabream is currently about EUR 250 000," notes Tárraga.
Demand for natural aquafeed
Launched in August 2019, the 6-month ALGABOOSTER project enabled Buggypower to carry out feasibility studies, to analyse the product's technical, commercial and financial viability. "From a technical point of view, we analysed the possibilities of improving the extrusion process, and of best preserving microalgae ingredients," explains Tárraga. "We also evaluated the possibility of setting up an industrial-scale microencapsulation installation, as well as different options for optimising the ALGABOOSTER product formula." A key finding was that microencapsulation would make the final fish feed product very expensive. Tárraga and his team therefore decided to avoid this process and instead focus on optimising extrusion. Contact with aquafeed manufacturers was also successfully made, helping the SME to explore possible co-branding partnerships. A study of the aquaculture feed additives helped the firm to target key European countries and develop a commercialisation strategy. Regulatory requirements and patent protection issues were also analysed. "From a financial point of view, we have been able to outline a pricing strategy and carry out a financial forecast," he explains. "We now have updated financial projections for the 2022-2027 period, taking into account the number of potential users as well as identified risks."
Boosting European aquaculture
Tárraga believes that the pathway towards commercialisation is clear. Demand for a natural microalgae-based aquafeed has been confirmed, and the SME is confident that their ALGABOOSTER product will help European aquaculture to achieve global competitiveness in a sustainable manner. "A natural aquatic feed enriched with the immunostimulatory complex of marine microalgae can definitely help to boost the competitiveness of the EU aquaculture sector," adds Tárraga. "We think we can reduce mortality rates by between 50 % and 67 %, and reduce growth times by between 11 % and 21 %." The company is currently looking for suitable aquaculture manufacturers and target users to test the product in real aquaculture farms.

M247 have been working with construction company Laing O'Rourke for over 8 years now, providing them with temporary wireless connectivity for over 100 construction projects across the North of England.
Laing O'Rourke is a multinational construction company, privately owned it is an internationally focussed engineering enterprise with world class capabilities spanning the entire client value chain.
The business origins stretch from 1848 before the Laing O'Rourke brand was officially established in the UK in 2001. Now a multinational organisation with operations in Canada, Europe, the Middle East, Asia and Australia, delivering some of the most iconic constructions in the world.
Their sectors include buildings, transport and power, through to water and utilities as well as mining and natural resources. Some of their notable projects include the, London 2012 Olympics and Paralympics, Atlantis The Palm in Dubai and the Manchester Town Hall Complex.
Laing O'Rourke's day to day construction is never in one place for long. Their main challenge was to deliver IT infrastructures to temporary sites across the UK, this connectivity needed to be flexible and scalable so it could be moved from site to site when needed.
Due to M247's alternative wireless technology they can create bespoke circuits to meet the exact connectivity requirements for Laing O'Rourke. M247 own their own network entirely so there is no dependency upon traditional fibre networks and connectivity can be delivered much quicker. As soon as Laing O'Rourke are ready M247 can get their sites connected for as long as they need on an adaptable contract.
Laing O'Rourke and M247 have been working together for over 8 years delivering connectivity to over 100 projects throughout the North of England.
M247 are able to provide their wireless connectivity with short contract terms completely tailored to the needs of Laing O'Rourke. They can deliver it within the timeframes required and the bandwidth is scalable should anything need to change. This is all delivered with the company's industry leading 24/7 support.


Not to blow up their negotiating spot here, but the British have had a few problems coming up with a plan for their departure from the European Union. That is set to happen in just over seven months, but figuring out what exactly "that" will be sorta has to be done in the next two. Both sides have said they are cautiously optimistic about doing so, even though they've achieved essentially nothing over the past 17 months.
Last month, the British thought they had figured out what Brexit meant, although doing so nearly brought down the government. Worse, all that trouble produced a plan whose barest outlines were met with a "not a chance" from the other side. Now, this got the U.K. thinking—not that Brexit was a terrible idea which should be abandoned, but that the way to solve the country's whole lack-of-leverage issue was to come up with not just one plan, but two. Should be no problem.
The government said Thursday that it will ensure "the U.K. will be ready from day one in all scenarios," but policy analysts and industry experts say Britain won't have the necessary infrastructure or staff to be ready to cope with a host of new requirements such as border controls, customs inspections or regulatory approval processes…. Ministers are also hoping that outlining the consequences of exiting the bloc without any agreement will help persuade British lawmakers skeptical of Mrs. May's Brexit vision to get behind her plan or risk something worse.
One of the technical notices covered financial services and made the rather stupendous declaration that the EU will be super-sorry if it doesn't make a deal, because then EU companies would be shut out of capital markets. And, in at least one very low-margin arena, it might be right.
Reuters' analysis, based on surveys released by central banks in the five biggest trading centres, shows forex trading volumes in Britain had grown by 23 percent to a record daily average of $2.7 trillion (£2.1 trillion) in April compared to April 2016….
Edouard Carmignac doesn't see this Brexit thing actually happening.
Theresa May & co. are upping their denial game in a big way, because they have nowhere else to go.

Q: Why no article for 'tomorrow' but there is for 'morrow'? I searched for the word 'morrow' and found out that it takes the definite article 'the'. It's an old word but still in use as I refer COCA. One of the example is:

the postbox by the door where it would not be noticed until the morrow

My question is,
'morrow' is a noun and so is 'tomorrow'. Both mean the same, but then why the word 'morrow' takes the definite article and 'tomorrow' does not! Say--

It is reserved till the morrow BUT  It is reserved till the tomorrow.

If both mean the next day, and there should be only one day, 'the' seems okay with 'morrow' but not with 'tomorrow'.

A: Etymology created this quirk.
According to Google's etymology, "tomorrow" comes from middle english "to morrow" using the prepositional form of "to". The same is true of "today" and "tonight".
Just as you never say "night" or "day" without specifying which night/day (unless referring to the concept of night/day) you don't say "morrow" without specify which morrow. Adding the "to" fulfills that need by essentially saying "this" or "the immediately following". So the word "tomorrow" doesn't need that, because it's built in.
Note that modern english inherited the words "to", "morrow", and "tomorrow" from middle english - but not all of the specific details of those words that allows the combination to make sense. So we end up with confusing word combinations that don't quite have the same meaning as their parts.

A: This might be an etymology matter, but if you check the definitions of morrow

noun
  (archaic)
  1) morning
  2) the next day
  3) the time just after some particular event

it does not seem to be so specific as to meaning tomorrow specifically (def. 1 and 3). In those situations, an article would be appropriate:

I will go home on the morrow.

meaning morning, similar to *I will go home in the morning.

According to an old Hindu legend...
There was once a time when all human beings were gods, but they so abused their divinity that Brahma, the chief god, decided to take it away from them and hide it where it could never be found.
Where to hide their divinity was the question. So Brahma called a council of the gods to help him decide. "Let's bury it deep in the earth," said the gods. But Brahma answered, "No, that will not do because humans will dig into the earth and find it." Then the gods said, "Let's sink it in the deepest ocean." But Brahma said, "No, not there, for they will learn to dive into the ocean and will find it." Then the gods said, "Let's take it to the top of the highest mountain and hide it there." But once again Brahma replied, "No, that will not do either, because they will eventually climb every mountain and once again take up their divinity."
Then the gods gave up and said, "We do not know where to hide it, because it seems that there is no place on earth or in the sea that human beings will not eventually reach."
Brahma thought for a long time and then said, "Here is what we will do. We will hide their divinity deep in the center of their own being, for humans will never think to look for it there."
All the gods agreed that this was the perfect hiding place, and the deed was done. And since that time humans have been going up and down the earth, digging, diving, climbing, and exploring—searching for something already within themselves.

Tip: Skip These Foods, Suffer More Mental Distress
Two foods will boost your mood and mental health, depending on how old you are. Here are the foods to focus on and when.
by Chris Shugart | 12/30/17
Diet Strategy
For mood and mental health, younger adults (age 18-29) need to be eating meat. For older adults (age 30 up), it's more about eating plenty of fruits. Here's why.
Researchers out of Binghamton University wanted to see how dietary choices affect mental health in different age groups. After analyzing data from around the world using the standard Food-Mood Questionnaire, they found that two foods – meat (red or white) and fruits – made a big difference in mood and psychological well being.
Researchers found that mood in younger people is dependent on food that boosts the availability of neurotransmitter precursors and concentrations in the brain. That food is meat.
One of the researchers noted that "...young adult mood appears to be sensitive to build-up of brain chemicals. Regular consumption of meat leads to build-up of two brain chemicals (serotonin and dopamine) known to promote mood. Regular exercise leads to build-up of these and other neurotransmitters as well. In other words, young adults who ate meat less than three times a week and exercised less than three times week showed a significant mental distress."
On the flip side, people over 30 need more fruits for optimal mental health. Fruit increases availability of antioxidants, which are needed because aging comes along with more free radicals, and that's associated with mental distress.
They also found that for these older adults, it's more important to avoid certain foods and bad dietary habits, like having too much caffeine, eating junk carbs, and skipping breakfast which "inappropriately activates the sympathetic nervous system."
What This Means to You
Eat a variety of fruits. And don't be a vegan, especially if you're under 30.
Of note, the findings on younger people match those of several previous studies which show a relationship between avoiding meat and poor mental health. The only argument among researchers is about what comes first.
Does poor mental health lead a person to become a vegan, or does their meatless diet lead to the psychological problems and pissy moods? Doesn't look good either way for younger vegans.

Are Top-Performing Mutual Funds Smart Investments?
The decision is about more than past performance and ratings
by Allan Roth, July 6, 2016
After factoring in things like management fees, the top-performing mutual funds aren't always your best choice.
Wouldn't it be great to know which mutual fund will outperform the market? One way, used by many, is to look at past performance and ratings by Morningstar, the mutual fund research company.
Get money and investment savings tips in the AARP Money Newsletter
Recently, I looked at one top-performing mutual fund, the Hennessy Focus Fund (HFCSX). This fund is currently invested primarily in U.S. stocks and has the highest (five-star) rating by Morningstar, meaning it has been a top performer. In fact, as of June 22, this fund had earned an average annual return of 9.76 percent over the past decade, beating the total return of the S&P 500 by 2.2 percentage points annually. With the power of compounding, a $10,000 investment would have beaten the S&P 500 by $4,263 over that period.

I spoke to Ira Rothberg, one of the fund's portfolio managers. He said he uses an unconventional commonsense approach to buy stocks trading at a discount. Finding stocks with a sustainable competitive advantage and then being patient is key, he said. His statement about patience is supported by the fact that the fund tends to hold each stock position for many years, rather than trading frequently, as most non-index mutual funds do. He also noted that the fund typically holds only about 20 to 30 companies, instead of 100 or more, like many mutual funds.
See also: Index funds are even better than you think
Will it outperform going forward?
Though it's rare for a mutual fund to outperform indexes, on average, for a decade, does it mean the fund will likely outperform over the next decade? To see if I thought this fund would outperform in the future, I used a three-step approach.
For an indication of whether the fund's return was due to luck or skill, I looked at the performance of the overall fund family it belongs to. Hennessy passes that test, as Morningstar rates the Hennessy family of stock funds very high overall.
Next, I looked at more recent performance, to see if the long-term record is sustained or whether it's just the result of several stellar years early on. Over the past one and three years, the fund underperformed the S&P 500. Rothberg attributed this to the fact that the so-called FANG stocks (Facebook, Amazon, Netflix and Google) drove the S&P 500 performance, and the fund did not own those four stocks.
Finally, I examined how much a fund charges its shareholders in management expenses, which is perhaps the best indicator of future performance. Hennessy charges 1.46 percent annually vs. fees as low as 0.03 percent for stock index funds. The average index fund has a 0.11 percent fee, while the average active fund has a 0.79 percent fee, according to Morningstar. Morningstar gives the Hennessy Focus Fund an average bronze forward rating (lower than gold or silver) because it expects the fund to be about an average performer. Morningstar has long noted that most actively managed funds don't beat low-cost index funds.

I was impressed with Rothberg and love the fact that his fund holds its stocks for many years. I think it's possible the fund could beat the market over the next decade, but it's unlikely. Overcoming such a management fee is like running a 100-meter sprint beginning 20 meters behind the start line.
In addition, this fund has risks. First, owning a concentrated position of just 20 to 30 stocks means performance can vary significantly from the market. One former star fund, Sequoia (SEQUX), trounced the S&P 500 before underperforming by an average 10.7 percent a year for the past three years. Rothberg noted that his fund is not as concentrated as Sequoia.
Another risk is the tax trap, which, ironically, is how past success can hurt you. If a fund underperforms, such as the Columbia Acorn Select Z (ACTWX), investors take their money out. This forces the fund to sell holdings and then pass through capital gains to current shareholders, even if they don't sell the fund's shares themselves. Though Rothberg acknowledged this possibility, he clearly doesn't intend to suffer the same fate as the Acorn fund and expects to outperform going forward.
So as impressed as I was with Rothberg, I won't be buying his fund. I agree with Morningstar's expectation that this will be an average-performing fund going forward and will have trouble beating a low-cost index fund. With an above-average management fee, however, even an average performance speaks very highly of Rothberg and his comanagers.
