Now, picture our team of seven (and a "half" – baby Malakai!); loading a tower of surfboards onto our two rental camper vans in Sydney Airport, and each member full of his or her own preconceived hopes and expectations for the trip. We had a few set plans and goals, but none of us knew exactly what it would entail. However, we were all independently confident that the timing and purpose of our 20-day road trip was more than just a holiday!
During the trip we covered 14 hours of coastline, from the cold and quaint Stanwell Tops (a little beach town just south of Sydney) to the warm and trendy Maroochydore (just north of Brisbane). Every night, we bundled up in our camper vans and awoke with the sun to a new town and new adventures. From miles of clean beach breaks to arguably some of the best coffee shops in the world, Australia was beginning to live up to its reputation.
Beyond the obligatory tourist stops (which naturally included meeting some kangaroos), we spoke at schools, hosted some "brekkies" on the beach and sampled as many surf spots as possible. But as with most Surfing The Nations trips, I was reminded of the amazing "ohana" this organization has given me around the world. Four years at a normal job might not sound like much – especially to older generations – but spending four years at STN is likely comparable to measuring in dog years. Deep bonds of friendship are created after being at STN for just a few months, but when that number is multiplied by the hundreds of people who come through our programs yearly, times four years, it equates to a huge international family! A family that simply allows you to "pick up where you left off" every time.
On each of our STN international trips, we give our team members one goal: make a friend for life. While each day in The Land Down Under looked a bit different, there was one main theme: connection. From reuniting with former STN staff to making new friendships along the way, we not only got to experience a real taste of life in Australia, but the trip took on a greater meaning. When we prioritized making connections as we traveled, we added purpose to our adventure. Instead of worrying about their own expectations, our team was released to simply be in the present. I learned that as I let go of a tight plan, it clears my schedule to include spontaneity and surprises, and in the end, ultimately creates a space for reality to surpass my imagination.

New diagnostic kit developed in India to give Covid-19 test result in 2 hours
Coronavirus (COVID-19) Forum Technology
By Pallavi Shree
The fight against Covid-19 pandemic is set to get a big boost with the development of a new diagnostic kit that can confirm novel coronavirus test results in just two hours at a low cost of around Rs.1000 per test. This indigenously developed test kit is one of the world's first few of its kind. The new test kit named 'Chitra GeneLAMP-N' is expected to give a huge boost to the number of tests conducted for the Covid-19. This will prove a boon for the states like Bihar where there is very few testing facilities for the new virus that has caused mayhem across the world.
At present, it takes a couple of days to get the result of Covid-19 test and cost is over Rs.4000 per test.
The Department of Science and Technology has funded the development of a new test kit. This kit is highly specific for SARS-CoV-2 N-gene and can detect two regions of the gene, which will ensure that the test does not fail even if one region of the viral gene undergoes mutation during its current spread.
The new kit has been developed by Sree Chitra Tirunal Institute for Medical Sciences and Technology, Trivandrum, an Institute of National Importance, of the Department of Science and Technology (DST). It detects the N Gene of SARS- COV2 using reverse transcriptase loop-mediated amplification of viral nucleic acid (RT-LAMP).
The tests performed by the new kit has 100 per cent accuracy and match with test results using RT-PCR. The current PCR kits in India enable detection of E gene for screening and RdRp gene for confirmation. Chitra GeneLAMP-N gene testing will allow confirmation in one test without the need for a screening test and at much lower costs.
The detection time is 10 minutes, and the sample to result time (from RNA extraction in swab to RT-LAMP detection time) will be less than 2 hours. A total of 30 samples can be tested in a single batch in a single machine allowing a large number of samples to be tested each day, Ministry of Science & Technology said in a statement.
The testing facility can be easily set up even in the laboratories of district hospitals with limited facilities and trained laboratory technicians. The results can be read from the machine from the change in fluorescence. The cost of testing with the new device for LAMP testing and the test kit for 2 regions of N gene (including RNA extraction) will be less than Rs.1000 per test for the laboratory.
Testing for the Covid-19 has been very slow in India due to the lack of testing kits. Most of the kits have been imported from Germany. The first made-in-India test kit for Covid-19 was developed by Pune-based molecular diagnostics company Mylab Discovery Solutions Pvt Ltd at the end of March. The kit is named 'Mylab PathoDetect COVID-19 Qualitative PCR kit.
"Development of a novel, inexpensive, rapid confirmatory for the diagnosis of Covid-19 by Sree Chitra in record time is a compelling example of how a creative team of clinicians and scientists working together seamlessly can leverage knowledge and infrastructure to make relevant breakthroughs," said Ashutosh Sharma, Secretary, Department of Science and Technology.
The new research on diagnosis and treatment is very important as Covid-19 cases continue to rise in India on each passing day. As on 16 April, the total confirmed cases of Covid-19 reached 12,380. It has also resulted in death of 414 person. As many as 1489 persons have been cured/discharged after recovery. Case Fatality Rate (CFR) of Covid-19 in India is 3.3 per cent. The percentage of people recovered, so far, is 12.02 per cent.

This is the only VV game in where you get a cheif for the tribe. The chief has special powers that cna help your villagers along. Whats hilarious is that anyone can be cheif... including a little kid. My second cheif was a five year old girl with fiery red hair. She was so adorable! Concoct magical potions, find delicious honey and figure out how to scare away the sharks so your peeps can fish , plus much more! I think the scene for this game(the ruins, coral reef) is the prettiest one yet I highly recommend this game!
Another great Virtual Villagers game.
As soon as I started this game I was hooked. My teenage daughter enjoyed it too. I have to confess I had to get help in the forums as some of the puzzles were beyond me, but this is the sort of game you have to complete. I'm a big fan of this series... more like this please Big Fish.
I've played almost every Virtual Villager game made.... well, except for the 5th one, but this is my favorite one! It's so much fun!!!!! If you haven't played this game, you should because it's the best!!!!!!
Nice game, mother likes, safe for kids. They loves to play this game and this is a good game for learning english. Just give a dictionary to children and encourange them to find out what stays on orange notes. Kids likes to play this game with friends. Only minus is that you need to put limits for time to play (also yourself) and you hear many time a question: "Can I check situation next morning if I don't pause my game over night?"
LOVE all the VV games, this is one of the best!
Just a great game. Never gets boring!
Is it just me? My villagers have demonstrated individual personalities and I have my favorites. I have a six year old village chief and so enjoy when she lectures then plays in rain puddles. One boy grew up the only child in the village playing see-saw by himself and spent his entire childhood gathering mushrooms to keep his village from starving. Now I let him do whatever he wants. So much talent went into developing these games. Amazing!
This is a great game with a cute storyline. LOVE VV!!!!!!
I just love this game. It exciting .Theirs new turns and twists. It a great game.
VV III an excellent growing tribe.
I played many times and when I finished, it was by discoevering something tha took all the Villagers underground. I never did get into that door put that statue back up because my villagers turned into spoiled teenagers that would not work or be trained. I never could finish a game with everything finished. But it is really worth it to see the villagers together again.


The Rebel Sweetheart.: Think of Loved Ones Now Before it's Too Late.
None of us wants to think about our life ending. However, since death is inevitable it is important for you to get your affairs in order while you are alive and well so that when you do die, your loved ones will still be cared for. There are several things you can do to make the loss of your life slightly easier on those who love you.
The first thing that comes to most people's minds should be life insurance. In the event of your death, your life insurance will give your loved ones the money they need to take care of your final expenses. Funerals, as well as coffins or cremation can be very expensive. You do not want your loved ones to have to put aside their grief long enough to determine how to pay for your funeral. Therefore, applying for an obtaining life insurance is something that must be done as early in life as possible.
Be sure to have a will draw up stating who gets your belongings, your money and your estate when you pass away. Most people choose to go to a lawyer to obtain their will, but if you are strapped for cash you can also use a do it yourself (DIY) will. You will have to obtain a will kit and fill it out, stating all of your final wishes. Once you have filled it out it needs to be signed by yourself and a few witnesses. To determine the exact procedure for this, you will need to find out what the laws are in your state regarding a legal will. Experts advise you to have an estate lawyer help you review your will before making it official.
A Funeral One of the biggest burdens your family may feel after your death is the planning of your funeral. Save them the pain of having to do this by planning it yourself. Many people now plan their own funeral and even pick out their own coffin to spare his or her loved ones from having to do it once they are gone. To do this, some people turn to funeral insurance. If you choose to do this, you can probably save your family a great deal of money. Funeral expenses are constantly going up and you have no real way of determining how much your family would have to pay for your funeral. The typical funeral costs between $8,000 and $10,000, which your loved ones may not be able to come up with. Having funeral insurance to cover the expenses can be a huge relief to your loved ones.
Preparing for your own death is never easy or fun, but it will give you the peace of mind of knowing that your family is taken care of financially when the inevitable happens. Do what you can to ease their pain before they have to experience it. You will be able to die peacefully.
As early as now.. we should thing=k for our future... It is not about over reacting but it is about securing our future together with our families... Philippine Prudential Life is a company that will help secure our future..

Port kembla workers reject steelworks agreement
http://dailytelegraph.co.uk/news/local/scots-government-bureau-moves-in-against-pensions-benefit-claim-s-against-the-scottish-industrial-union/article29882315.ece/8f7e5/AUTOCROP/h342/20101228_1_7e03cc3d-3b06-11e8-ab4f-b3b7b08d2ccb_I1.jpg
The Scottish Government has struck a deal with the unions of steelworkers that will force them to walk away from their bitter decades-old dispute over the rights to strike.
The government has made the deal with the SEP and Unite because it wants the agreement to include changes to the National Living Wage which has triggered the dispute and could also cost the steelmakers millions of pounds in lost productivity.
The deal is a setback to the government over plans to strike.
It is expected to mean that steelworkers will begin to walk away from the Scottish Government next year with a fresh threat, without having to negot우리카지노iate the deal of the last three months.
"We are hopeful that this can be brought about because there has been a substantial amount of talk and that it is at best, an interim deal, at 더킹카지노worst an end to it now" union general secretary Jackie Baillie, whose union Unite in the steel industry represents some 3,000 employees.
There is currently talks on a new pay deal for industrial employees but a deal between the three groups can only be announced once the talks are concluded.
Unite's John McEnroe said the agreement would not resolve the crisis but would pave the way for the government to strike over the issue.
There would be further talks next year about a new working relationship for the steelworkers but the deal is likely to end with a strike, he said.
"It's a very difficult situation but it seems likely to result in a return to negotiations. There might be an agreement and it could be that the first attempt at a negotiated deal will come this January.
"We're hoping that it will lead to a settlement 우리카지노within the near future."
The Government had agreed to extend the deadline for striking workers' talks to January 2016 but there are concerns the dispute could drag on long after the new two-year deal with the SEP expires

Wemmenhögs härads sparbank var en svensk sparbank för Vemmenhögs härad med huvudkontor i Anderslöv.

Banken stiftades i Anderslöv i november 1848. Den var en av flera skånska häradssparbanker som grundades vid den här tiden sedan befintliga sparbanker i Malmöhus län bestämt att insättningen från boende utanför verksamhetsområdet skulle begränsas.

Filialen i Skurup ombildades 1881 till en egen sparbank, senare kallad Skurups sparbank.

1884 flyttade banken in i ett hus på Landsvägen i Anderslöv.

År 1970 uppgick banken i Malmö sparbank Bikupan. Därefter har verksamheten uppgått i av Sparbanken Malmöhus 1977, Sparbanken Skåne 1984, Sparbanken Sverige 1992 och Föreningssparbanken 1997.

Vemmenhögsbankens tidigare kontor i Skivarp stängde den 6 november 2009. Den 18 november 2016 lämnade Swedbank även Anderslöv och flyttade verksamheten till Trelleborg.

This guide is provided to assist you design the StormChamber.
1. Calculation of StormChamber 115 Cubic Feet Design Storage – for 34" installed storage capacity.
The void space in the StormChamber is 75 cubic feet. With the typical installation which includes 6" of stone above and below, and 9" between at the foot, the installed storage capacity increases to 115 cubic feet per chamber.
2. Using additional stone to increase the design storage capacity.
The design requirement for a 6" stone base and 6" of stone above the StormChambers is a minimum requirement. The depth of the stone base and/or the stone on top of the StormChambers can be increased in order to provide additional design storage capacity. This may be desirable for projects where the site is tight. Each additional 108 cubic feet of stone, (4 cubic yards), will provide an additional 43.2 cubic feet of storage.
3. Stacking up to 4 layers to increase the design storage capacity.
Due to the strength and material properties, StormChambers have been stacked up to four layers. The layers are separated with 12" of the stone. We can provide you with independent testing results and references.
The purpose of the lateral (side) pipe connections between the first chamber of the inflow and adjacent rows of StormChambers is to help ensure proper flow dynamics between StormChambers rows during high flow periods. These connections do not need to be water tight. Although the StormChambers all interconnect hydraulically through the surrounding stone, the pipe connections provide a flow path that can carry higher short duration flows comparable to an emergency spillway for a dam. Smooth walled (inside and outside) pipe of 8, 10, or 12 inch diameter should be specified. Most often 8 inch PVC pipe is used. Corrugated pipe is very difficult to use in this application. Lateral pipe connections must be aligned directly across from each other, at the point where drain pipe feeds the StormChamber.


Poland is raiding the accounts of retirees. Italy is likely to do the same soon. New Zealand and even Canada (according to the attached article) are seriously contemplating seizures of retirement assets. One would be foolish to assume that American leaders are not thinking along similar lines.
A big pile of buried silver is looking better and better all the time. Yes, that's where we are at folks.
Now that "bail-ins" have become accepted practice all over the planet, no bank account and no pension fund will ever be 100% safe again. In fact, Cyprus-style wealth confiscation is already starting to happen all around the world. As you will read about below, private pension funds were just raided by the government in Poland, and a "bail-in" is being organized for one of the largest banks in Italy. Unfortunately, this is just the beginning.

Technology has come a long way and that is just as true for music creation as with anything else. For a full range of the best options for digital pianos, there is a dealer with plenty of expertise and years of experience to make the selection of the best equipment a relatively simple process.
When it comes to finding the perfect digital piano, it is first necessary to realize that there are quite a few different styles and models available on the market today. More than just a keyboard, a digital piano has the full range of 88 keys, six octaves and a rich, full sound. That and the fact that a digital piano has built in speakers means that the digital piano is bigger and bulkier than a keyboard.
View this page for more information.
For performers, there are digital pianos that are compact enough for transport and setting up with other instruments. The actual size feel of the digital piano keyboard is much more similar to a traditional piano than those of an electronic keyboard but there is much less opportunity to create new or different sounds like there is with a keyboard.
Since the digital piano is popular with musicians, it has been equipped to connect with a PC for recording purposes. Greater complexity is also available with the inclusion of a synthesizer for a wide range of music creation options perfect for churches, schools and performers.
The digital piano market has become quite competitive and is filled with the best names in the industry. New technology is coupled with traditional quality and dependability for high quality music production. Many of the components of traditional and even grand pianos are reproduced in a variety of digital pianos for an authentic sound and feel. The keys are made to respond to touch just like the key on traditional pianos unlike the easy to tap keys of digital keyboards.
The types of digital pianos available today are perfect for the beginner as well as the professional. With a full range of accompaniment features for true music production or just a basic keyboard, digital pianos offer the capability of recording and playing back music and even provide progressive lessons to guide in learning and perfecting skills.
Storage and portability make each model convenient to use in a number of different locations or to keep out of the way in a limited space. Some models look just like a standard piano but others can have a pedal unit added if desired. Benches are optional and different finishes and colours are available.
The best part about purchasing a high quality digital piano at the shop of experts is the understanding that help is always available with a warranty. When you are in the market for a digital piano for your professional or pleasure use, it pays to check out the options offered by an industry leader with a great reputation.

Rep. Raymond Poe named state agriculture director
Republican state Rep. Raymond Poe was named Friday to be the new director of the Illinois Department of Agriculture.
Poe, 71, of rural Springfield, said he will start the job Monday.
"I'll definitely miss (the legislature), but I think it's a lot easier moving up to an agency director rather than moving out of a home," Poe said. "This isn't total closure yet because I'll still be working with the legislature."
Poe has been in the Illinois House since 1995. He's a member of several key committees, including Agriculture and Conservation, Higher Education Appropriations, and Personnel and Pensions. He is also the ranking Republican member of the Business and Occupational Licenses Committee.
A lifelong farmer, Poe fits Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner's criterion that the agency's director be someone with direct agricultural experience. The last director under former Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn, Robert Flider, did not have an agricultural background.
Poe said the monthslong gridlock over a new state budget didn't influence his decision to take the job.
"I've been here 21 years, and it's time to move on," he said. "It's time for new blood, young blood."
State Journal-Register has the story.

U Street Singer-Songwriter Naïmah Hopes to Make it Big
by Jennifer Currier October 20, 2015 at 3:50 pm 0
You might soon know the name Naïmah Muhammad.
Coming up, Muhammad,who performs under the moniker Naïmah, cut her teeth near the intersection of 10th and U streets, where go-go and jazz once flourished. Now, Muhammad can be seen performing at venues across town.
She describes her sound as alternative pop with indie folk elements. But don't expect the soft guitar melodies of beard-y hipster bands. Instead, Muhammad's voice is often backed by big drum beats and dreamy synth tracks composed by the artist herself.
"I never foresaw myself being the actual singer of my songs," Muhammad said. "I just thought I was going to write, make a very specific image for someone else and have them fulfill it."
Muhammad is a recent graduate of the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, where she studied communication and songwriting.
"As soon as I got back home, I fell back in love with D.C. and the East Coast," she said,
Muhammad said she's caught in a "balancing act" between the D.C. and New York City. She spends Monday through Thursday in the District, doing public programming for the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History before heading to New York on the weekends to record an album.
The weekly commute, she said, can take its toll.
"I'm doing this on my own, and it's tough but it's worth it," she said. "I've seen contracts that wouldn't be good for me as a songwriter and as an artist, so I'm just being patient, keeping up my work ethic and hoping for the best."
The album isn't the only thing Muhammad has in the works. She's released a handful singles with another, called "Set It Off," on the way.
"I've been developing my live performance, I have songs I can work on for a new project and it just feels like the right time," she said. "This has been a great way to share my music with people, make connections and create a little buzz about what I'm working on."
Ideally, Muhammad said, her goal is scoring soundtracks for film and television with her original work. Think Lana Del Ray's album for "The Great Gatsby."
"When I write, I write very visually," she explained. "Every little song is kind of a story already, and I can see something happening as I'm writing it."
Muhammad said she plans to continue recording, performing and working her way through life in D.C. and New York until her career goals start becoming reality. And right now, she's more than happy to do it.
"I'm still an everyday person making music that I hope connects with someone else," she said. "Everything is really about the people you meet along the way because you can't do it alone."

Local Musicians Trade Instruments for Ladles in Chili Cookbook
by Sean Meehan September 28, 2015 at 3:50 pm 0
Crock 'n' roll: Roughly 20 local bands will trade instruments for ladles in a new chili cookbook.
The forthcoming DC Rock 'N' Roll Chili Cookbook will feature chili and chili-esque recipes from local musicians. All proceeds from its sale will go toward benefiting Bread for the City, a nonprofit that provides food, clothing, medical care and social services to at-need District residents.
The cookbook is the brainchild of Jack on Fire member Jason Mogavero, who is known more for stirring the pot of local politics and nightlife than stirring actual pots of chili.
Mogavero said the idea for the cookbook arose during a conversation with Sam Sherwood of indie rock band Mittenfields.
"The idea started, as many wonderful things do, over whiskey and beers at Showtime," Mogavero said. "I was talking with Sam Sherwood about the Jack White guacamole recipe and that evolved into a conversation about our guacamole recipes and eventually our chili recipes."
Mogavero said it wasn't hard to get other bands and musicians to contribute recipes. To date, he's already gathered submissions from Booby Trap, BRNDA, Granny & The Boys, Head-Roc, Hemlines, Incredible Change, journalist Kriston Capps, Mittenfields, Miyazaki, Nice Breeze, Not Bored, Pat Walsh, Plums, Polyon, Puff Pieces, Sara Curtin, Technicians and Tereu Tereu.
Though many groups contributed classic meat-and-beans chili recipes, Mogavero said there are plenty of vegetarian and vegan recipes as well as some recipes for things to eat with your chili. Feminist punk band Hemlines named its recipe "Dana-Friendly Veggie Chili" after its vegetarian bassist Dana Liebelson. Folk-pop musician Sara Curtin contributed a recipe for beet soup and semi-anonymous Fort Reno Rumors will also contribute to the list, Mogavero added.
Isn't chili mostly the same no matter how it's made? Not really, Mogavero said.
"Incredible Change has a recipe that sounds pretty promising involving McClure's Pickles and black beans, so I'm eager to try that," he said. "I haven't tried Granny and The Boys' recipe because I feared that it would give me a heart attack; it has like 80 different kinds of meat in it."
The cookbook, which is available for pre-order and due out in November, will come with a download code for a compilation album featuring all the musicians whose recipes are in the book. Jack on Fire and BRNDA have recorded new songs for the release, and Sara Curtin's song "Summer" will also be on the list.
Many of the bands also added some non-tangible ingredients into the recipes themselves. Jack on Fire's chili recipe, for example, calls for a Stooges album to be playing while you cook and stir.
"A lot of the recipes are over-the-top and silly," Mogavero said.
Music fans will get a chance to taste some of the recipes before they buy the book at a kickoff event Nov. 8 at 4-7 p.m. at Showtime Lounge in Bloomingdale (113 Rhode Island Ave. NW). Mogavero is still hammering out the details for the event, but says he expects some intense competition between the bands to crop up.
"I imagine that everyone is saving their trash talk for Showtime and that a full-on Animal House-style food fight will go on," he joked. "Probably a few people will be hospitalized with chili-related injuries."

Singer Tom Goss is getting ready for a 10-week, 50-city tour. (Luis Gomez Photos)
From Cecile Oreste of danceDC. You can follow her on Twitter @dance DC.
Tom Goss is a gay singer-songwriter who lives in D.C. If you were at the 17th Street Festival last September, you might have caught his performance. A native of Wisconsin, he moved to the area in 2004 to enter Catholic seminary. He later abandoned his quest to become a priest and began performing in local coffee houses in 2006.
Goss is also still program manager at Charlie's Place, an organization that works with the homeless; it is based at St. Margaret's Episcopal Church at 1830 Connecticut Avenue NW.
Today, he is a successful musician with two full-length CDs, two LPs, a live DVD and four music videos. Next month his latest CD, "Turn It Around," releases, which will be followed by a 10-week, 50-city tour. For more information about Tom and his music, visit his website.
Borderstan: How would you describe your music to someone who has never heard it before?
Goss: I describe my music as Acoustic pop. Lots of folks call it singer-songwriter but I try to really focus on writing pop songs more in the vain of The Beatles rather than folk songs. People often compare me to Jason Mraz, Jack Johnson, David Gray or Dave Matthews.

Daylight Saving Time i.e. DST is the phenomenon is which you set your clock timing one hour in advance; in the summer season. This process is done so that the evening daylight one hour time can be saved by sacrificing the one hour of normal sunrise every morning. Everyone in this world works in accordance with the clock whether it is the school hours, working hour, playing hours etc.
If the scheduled time gets disturbed then everything becomes a mess. The personal and professional life is generally set up with the fixed routines or we can also say the period of daylight hours. It has merits and demerits both.
In accordance with Daylight Saving Time; you need to set your clock one hour before the actual and normal time you used to. You need to wake up one hour before so that your whole day can be put in the same work routine as always. This one hour will let all the things in balance. If you will not do this then till the evening time; you will miss one hour daylight time. It is difficult for normal people to change their routine and decreasing their sleeping time.
Following the Daylight Saving Time can be beneficial for you in varied ways but it is also observed that it is somewhat hazardous for the health of people. Due to the change in clock; it is highly risky for normal people's health. In accordance to professional studies it is observed that people can be more prone to varied health related problems. Some of the most common health issues observed were; increase in the risk of heart attacks, mood swings etc.
The most common thing that is affected by the Daylight Saving Time is the disturbance caused in the daily morning activities. Changing the clock makes it difficult for normal people to deal with this situation that causes chaos. People who used to work out in the morning time, people who used to go for jogging, for morning walk etc; could no more do these things in same way and hence, all of this system gets disturbed and this time gets cut off. Due to this, people are unable to exercise and keep themselves fit, toned and healthy.
Daylight Saving Time affects in an extremely negative way for both social aspects as well as economical aspects. Following this activity is observed to be highly disruptive in nature for these two fields. This is due to the fact that all the numerous benefits and profits in this field gets disturbed and convert into losses which is extremely unfavourable.
There are different types of people all over the world. Everybody has different mind- set and a unique way of thinking and perception. It is difficult for some people to be flexible enough to accept change in life. But the majority of regular people are observed to face varied problems due to Daylight Saving Time.

Going to Better Schools
Even without disabilities, a parents understanding of a specific child's personality, or a parent's desire to secure a "better" education, might lead to the conclusion that a private school education would be the best option to help that child maximize achievement.10 A number of professional middle-class parents spontaneously explained that they had sent their children to private schools for at least some, if not all, of their educational careers: "We've been fortunate that he does go to a private school." And some were relieved that this option created an appropriately achievement-oriented milieu: "Most of her friends are private school kids; they're all top college bound, good students; [they] want to do well."
Parents whose children attended private schools also believed that they had the right to ask for special privileges to secure a competitive advantage for their children. One white mother of two children explained how she had become involved in her older son's educational career and requested that the school increase the pressure on him:
I actually called the school and asked why they aren't pushing him as hard as I think he could be when you're paying for a private education. . . . I'm wondering why it's so easy to get 99s on your report card all the time. He's bright, but I just felt like I'm paying for private education, he should be challenged more.
Even if they didn't opt for private schools, the professional middle-class parents knew how to get the best out of the schools their children attended.11 They also generally lived in neighborhoods with higher median incomes, more expensive homes, and a more highly educated population than did middle-class and working-class families. In all likelihood, these factors translate into better schools as well.12 Indeed, many of the parents said that they had chosen a particular community because they knew it offered superior public schools.13 As Jane Ferrara said of her Boston suburb, "It's a really great school system, and that's why we moved here."

The S&P 500 on Friday posted a new record high and closed higher on carry-over support from a rally in European stocks after the German Sep unemployment rate fell to 5.4%, the lowest since German reunification began and a sign of economic strength. U.S. stocks also received a boost from the unexpected +6.3 point increase in the Sep Chicago PMI to 65.2, stronger than expectations of -0.2 to 58.7.

Dec 10-year T-notes on Friday closed lower on the unexpected increase in the Sep Chicago PMI report and on the rally in the S&P 500 to a new all-time high, which curbed the safe-haven demand for T-notes.

The dollar index saw support from the report that President Trump and Treasury Secretary Mnuchin met with former Fed Governor Warsh, who is considered more hawkish than current Fed Chair Yellen, to discuss the Fed Chair position. The dollar was also boosted by the increase in T-note yields, which improves the dollar's interest rate differentials. Gains were limited after the U.S. Aug core PCE deflator rose by a less-than-expected +1.3% y/y, which was dovish for Fed policy.
Nov crude oil (CLX17 -2.03%) this morning is down -88 cents (-1.70%) and Nov gasoline (RBX17 -1.70%) is -0.0252(-1.58%). Friday's closes: Nov WTI crude +1.11 (+0.21%), Nov gasoline -0.0238 (-1.47%). Nov crude oil and gasoline on Friday settled mixed. Crude oil prices were undercut by the fall in the crack spread to a 5-week low, which may curb refinery demand for crude to refine into gasoline, and by the increase in active U.S. oil rigs in the week ended Sep 29 by 6 rigs to 750, the first increase in 7 weeks. Crude oil prices were supported by the rally in the S&P 500 to a new record high, which shows optimism in the economic outlook that is positive for energy demand.
Metals prices this morning are mixed with Dec gold (GCZ17 -0.72%) -8.3 (-0.65%) at a 1-1/2 month low, Dec silver (SIZ17-0.46%) -0.046 (-0.28%) at a 1-3/4 month low and Dec copper (HGZ17 +0.03%) +0.002 (+0.05%). Friday's closes: Dec gold -3.9 (-0.30%), Dec silver -0.171 (-1.02%), Dec copper -0.026 (-0.87%). Metals on Friday closed lower on the the rally in the S&P 500 to a new record high, which reduced the safe-haven demand for precious metals, and on a lack of inflation that reduces the demand for gold as an inflation hedge after the U.S. Aug core PCE deflator rose just +1.3% y/y, the smallest pace of increase in 2 years.
US 0945 ET Revised Sep U.S. Markit manufacturing PMI expected unchanged at 53.0, prelim-Sep +0.2 to 53.0.

In recent years, there has been a marked shift in the way we perceive large companies. Where we once used to look on in admiration of their size, power, and influence, we now only see bureaucracy, adherence to the status quo, and lack of innovation.
The Startup has become the new rock star of the business world. Fast, innovative, and eager to change the world, startups have turned what we look for in a company on its head.
Pardot's theory has always been that if you hire the best people and make the company the best place for them to work, the rest will take care of itself. Pardot employees are given the autonomy to create and choose the projects they want. We've even had a team member start her own department! The more freedom you give your employees, the more passion they will have for their projects, and the better results they will ultimately produce.
Despite our size, Pardot is still very picky about the people we bring into our family. Our co-founders still interview almost every new hire, and we have specialized culture teams whose sole responsibility in the interview process is to assess the cultural fit of a candidate. Once you've put the effort into building a culture of innovation, you need to protect it.
Pardot has received some outstanding coverage of our work environment and our incredible benefits. But these benefits weren't implemented for the publicity, they were aimed at simplifying the lives of our employees. Even small changes like casual dress codes, free snacks, and team lunch once a week go a long way towards making the lives of your employees easier and more comfortable, making them more motivated to deliver their best performances for the company.
Bureaucracy is enemy number one of innovation. For this reason, all Pardot managers have an open door policy to encourage collaboration and increase their accessibility. Pardot also forsakes tedious meetings in favor of short 5 minute "check-in" meetings each morning. This helps managers stay involved in the day-to-day processes without sacrificing the autonomy of their employees.
You may have noticed the common thread in all of the strategies listed above: a focus on people. That's because your people are the ones that ultimately make your culture, and innovation starts with them.
Luckily, employee-focused strategies are just as easy to scale and maintain at 100 employees as they are at 1,400. The only thing standing in the way of starting a similar innovation culture at your company is the status quo. It might just be time to smash the norm and start innovating!
The key takeaway from this is that they're not creating culture with ulterior motives. It's real and you can feel it.

Q: Is it possible to inject a service into Angular 1.5 component's templateUrl property? My directive needs a constant (MODULE_ROOT_URL) to generate the template path. With directive syntax, I can inject the constant to the directory factory function.
How can I convert this directive to Angular 1.5 components?
Is it possible to inject a service into Angular 1.5 components?
Thanks.
Update:
I know the service can be injected into the component controller.
But how can I inject a service for a component's templateUrl property?
Update2:
Please see plnkr. I create both of directive and component version.
The directive version works fine. But the component version has error [ngTransclude:orphan]
https://plnkr.co/edit/DMumuIpXJY6RDCX6XObz?p=preview
angular.module('AbcModule')
       .directive('abcDirective', ['MODULE_ROOT_URL', function (MODULE_ROOT_URL) {
           return {
               restrict: 'E',
               templateUrl:  MODULE_ROOT_URL + 'abc/abc.tpl.html'
           }

       }]);

A: templateUrl and template can be functions and dependencies can injected.
angular.module('AbcModule')
.component('abcDirective',  {
     restrict: 'E',
     templateUrl:  function(MODULE_ROOT_URL) {
          return MODULE_ROOT_URL + 'abc/abc.tpl.html';
     }
});

A: Till Angular 1.4, directive DDO has been return by function where you can have dependencies in a place. But here in Angular 1.5.3 we can have a control to add dependency inside controller of component. You could have work around like below using ng-include & injecting dependency inside a controller.
Markup
angular.module('AbcModule')
.component('abcDirective', {
  template: '

',
  controller: function(MODULE_ROOT_URL) { //<--injected dependency here.
    var self = this;
    self.rootUrl = MODULE_ROOT_URL;
  }
}]);

Hello and welcome to Until Our Independence.
I created this blog about Côte d'Ivoire in December 2009, to share my thoughts and opinion about my country with the Internets. The blog and the content have evolved since, but the aim is the same: keep readers posted about Côte d'Ivoire, Africa, international affairs and other subjects that matter to yours truly.
Who am I? 26 years-old Ivorian from Cocody, Abidjan. I studied political science with a focus on African politics and conflicts in developing countries.
Feel free to send me any feedback, comments or suggestions about the site. If you have something you would like to share on Until Our Independence, such as a guest post, a link or anything else, please send me an email.
I would like to get in touch with you because I am about to write a study on Cote d'Ivoire from legal and sociological aspects. I can use only the official and semi-official statistical data and studies published by international actors, such as NGOs or random experts.
I am 23 and I am from Hungary; I work for the European Council on Refugees and Exiles (www.ecre.org) as an intern, studied social science and economics, and will continue my studies on the field of migration and asylum.


The drive to the lake was very exciting. I spent my whole morning all in tears trying to fish my wedding ring from the drain. Chemical symbols are used to identify chemical elements. This fact must not be forgotten. In the meantime I've come to understand that this is not such an easy question. I ordered pizza by telephone. When will you have enough? Knowledge makes us free and better people. Hurry up, guys, you're going to be late. It happened in a flash.
I can easily tell if someone is a good person or not. If he likes me, then he's good. If he doesn't like me, then he's bad. I cannot recruit a cleaner. I can clean my office by myself. The chicken was oversalted and inedible. The abbess asked Hy if she was completely sure that the monastic life fit her. Do you know where the nearest American Express office is? This is your destiny. My friends scolded me for my stupid behavior. Toufic only eats organic food. Galen said you speak French. This book is selling like hotcakes.
Is this lake deep? I'm going to puke. Ozan was taken completely by surprise. Lynne was able to get us all tickets to tonight's concert. Do you know what he has done? It cost three thousand dollars exactly. You will be able to speak English soon. Just a second, please. Straight and then to the right, is that it? However tired you may be, you must finish that work today. Can you find Iraq on a map?
I could see you marrying her. I'm not lazy but diligent. I found this movie very interesting. A fool with a tool is still a fool. She is as old as the devil's grandmother. I'm sure he'll be along soon. Greetings, stranger. I thought you were smart. I'm emailing Oliver now. That's a bad idea.
Many soldiers died a hero's death. It is a very pragmatic culture. This is a false bottom pan. The back door is open. "She's dead." "No, it's not possible!" I believe in the power of dreams. He neglected his duties. As far as I know, that never happened. What's the number for the Tokyo Dome? They steal stuff.
How do I get to Gate 33? Making pizza is something I learned from Rob. You guys must be having fun. I never laid eyes on Rod again. That's a stupid policy. He cannot have done such a thing. Where do you want us to go? I told them I was married. Mark often wears high heels. I explained what happened.
I bought it in a thrift store. Our success depends upon whether you will help us or not. The coach doesn't know who the tallest student is. How long will you stay in Kyoto? We didn't have a place in which to live. Which shelf do you want me to put this on? I turn off the light, where does it go? I'm glad I'm done. She closed her eyes. This is an old story.
Do really expect me to help you? Make no mistake, they are extremely dangerous. Some parents don't punish their children when they lie. She pinched her sister. I want snow. Houses here are double the price of those in Kobe. Dawn was breaking. Now I have my composition written. If you get another speeding ticket within one year, your license will be suspended. In 1989, Galileo was launched to examine Jupiter and its four largest moons.
Even a black hen lays white eggs. All the dinner had been eaten before he came. Kate's father is in the vicinity of the house. The call has come through. I love free stuff. Only after a century and a half of confusion was the royal authority restored. The white rabbit was invisible in the snow. She is happy to have conceived a baby by him. Hi babe, where have you been? Speaking of Switzerland, have you ever been there in spring?
In the first years that Coca-Cola was produced, it contained cocaine. In 1914, cocaine was classified as a narcotic, after which they used caffeine instead of cocaine in the production of Coca-Cola. I will be happy to attend your party. Rahul is perspiring. Formerly, I had a dream of keeping fish. The company is on the verge of bankruptcy. Are there any markets or supermarkets around here? Is it convenient for daily shopping? Give Bucky all of it. She put her arms around me and hugged me. I'm sure I've seen him before. Angela leaned down to smell the flower.

Home News The EU's Best Universities for an Oil Career
The EU's Best Universities for an Oil Career
One of the benefits of the European Union is that it is relatively straightforward for citizens of one particular EU country to study in another EU country. This means that young EU nationals with a burning desire to get into the oil and gas sector can choose to attend one of several universities that specialize in oil and gas-related degrees even if they come from a country with no oil and gas industry of its own.
Another bonus is that, thanks to EU law, EU nationals generally only pay the tuition fees that local students would pay – so, for example, studying for a degree in the Netherlands would be a lot cheaper (typically $2,600 per year) than attending a university in England (up to $15,000 per year).
Here, Rigzone takes a look at a number of universities that an aspiring oil and gas engineer or petroleum geologist can attend within the EU.
This list is by no means exhaustive. We have focused on universities whose oil and gas-related courses are taught in English and which have close links with the industry.
Austria has a number of world-class universities offering oil and gas-related degrees courses such as engineering and geology, but these programs are nearly always taught in German. An exception is Montanuniversität Leoben, which has recently expanded its petroleum engineering offerings:
Montanuniversität Leoben
Austria's Montanuniversität Leoben last year became the beneficiary of a $13.5-million per year initiative with OMV, the country's leading oil and gas producer. The initiative has helped the university double its investment in oil and gas-related research and teaching as well as establish an International Petroleum Academy.
OMV is hungry for top graduates in oil and gas-related disciplines as it expands its exploration and production activities in the North Sea, Black Sea and elsewhere, so young Europeans looking for a career in the sector could do worse than to get themselves onto Montanuniversität Leoben's bachelor's or master's programs in petroleum engineering.
Both degree courses are taught in English, with the bachelor's program lasting for seven semesters and the master's program taking three.
Taking a look at the résumés of senior executives at leading Italian oil firm Eni S.p.A. reveals that most of the company's management team hold fairly traditional degrees such as physics, mechanical engineering and economics from a variety of Italian universities. However, what worked for one generation of Italians may not necessarily be the correct course for a subsequent generation looking to get into an oil and gas career. Today's young Italians (as well as international students) may smooth their entry into the energy industry by taking an oil and gas-focused master's degree at Perugia or Turin.
Perugia University (Università degli Studi di Perugia)
Perugia University has 31,000 students enrolled on a broad spectrum of courses, ranging from engineering, natural sciences and medicine to arts and humanities. The university runs a two-year master's degree in "petroleum geology" that is designed to give the student the ability to carry out all the professional activities required of a professional geologist specializing in oil and gas. By the end of the course, students will have acquired a thorough knowledge of the main areas of earth sciences that characterize the activity of exploration and development, and an adequate knowledge of specialized fields of petroleum geology. In order to gain the master's qualification, students have to write a thesis in either English or Italian. The course is supported by Italian oil major Eni, which provides some professors for vocational disciplines as well as funding field and laboratory activities.
Polytechnic University of Turin (Politecnico di Torino)
A leading institution for the study of engineering in Italy, the Polytechnic University of Turin has around 32,000 students – of which around 15 percent are foreign (the greatest proportion of foreign students at any Italian university).
The university's Department of Environment, Land and Infrastructure Engineering has a two-year "petroleum engineering" master's degree that is taught in English. The aim of the course is to train engineers who will then be able to begin working immediately in the oil and gas sector.
By the end of the course, students will be able to analyze hydrocarbon deposits both for quantity of reserves and production capacity, and will identify the best strategies for producing oil and/or natural gas based not only on technical feasibility but also economic and environmental sustainability, according to the university.
Specific engineering subjects learned by the student include: techniques for the drilling and completion of oil wells; techniques for exploitation of deposits through extraction or oil and natural gas; and above-ground chemical treatment of oil and natural gas to obtain energy-producing petroleum products.
The Netherlands has a number of well-regarded and well-established universities, and it is common in that country for degree courses to be taught in English. Delft University of Technology, in particular, has several courses that are connected to the oil and gas sector.
Delft University of Technology boasts the current CEO of Royal Dutch Shell plc, Ben van Beurden, as an alumnus (he holds a chemical engineering degree from the university). Of its 18,000-plus student population international students account for almost 3,000.
The university does not have specific "petroleum engineering" or "petroleum geology courses", but it offers the usual "electrical engineering" and "mechanical engineering" degrees at bachelor's level as well as an oil and gas-related "marine technology" undergraduate degree. At postgraduate level, it has a two-year Master of Science degree in "applied earth sciences" as well as "marine technology" and "offshore engineering" master's degrees. All master's degrees are taught in English.
With its North Sea reserves, it is no surprise that Norway has a number of universities that offer suitable courses for Norwegian speakers looking to get into the oil and gas industry. Bergen University, for example, offers bachelor's degrees in "petroleum and process technology" and "geoscience", along with a number of oil and gas industry-related master's courses. However, international students with good English looking for a course in Norway should check out the Norwegian University of Science and Technology.
Located in Trondheim, in the north of Norway, the Norwegian University of Science and Technology has some 23,000 students, including some 2,600 international students. For English speakers there are a range of master's degree courses available at the university. These include Master of Science degrees in "petroleum engineering", "petroleum geosciences", "natural gas technology" and "marine technology".
Both the "petroleum engineering" and "petroleum geosciences" degree courses focus specifically on exploration and production of oil and gas on the Norwegian Continental Shelf as well as methods for increased oil recovery on the NCS. They also offer opportunities for students to specialize in areas such as drilling technology, petroleum production, reservoir technology, petroleum geology/geophysics, seismology and reservoir seismology.
The UK boasts some of the most well-regarded science and engineering universities in the world. While a good engineering or geology degree from Cambridge, Oxford or London's Imperial College would likely go down well with oil and gas recruiters, a more direct route into the sector would be to study for a specialized degree at the UK's key oil and gas hub: Aberdeen.
Aberdeen University, with a history stretching back to the 15th Century, offers more than 550 undergraduate degrees across a wide variety of subjects as well more than 120 taught postgraduate degrees.
Thanks to its location at the center of the UK oil and gas industry, the university today has several degree courses available to those looking to get started in the energy sector. Among courses for undergraduates are a four-year Bachelor of Engineering degree in "petroleum engineering" and a four-year bachelor's degree in "geology and petroleum geology".
The list of companies that Aberdeen's petroleum engineering graduates have joined includes: Aker Solutions ASA, Amec plc, BP plc, ExxonMobil Corporation, Halliburton Corporation, Petrofac plc, Royal Dutch Shell, Subsea 7 SA, Technip SA and Wood Group plc. Its geology graduates have found employment with BP plc, Cairn Energy plc, Halliburton, Shell, Statoil ASA and Subsea 7. Aberdeen also offers several master's degree courses in subjects as varied as "oil and gas computing", "oil and gas law", "petroleum, energy economics and finance" and "petrophysics".
Originating as an education institution in the 18th Century, Aberdeen's Robert Gordon University only became an official university in 1992. Yet, today it boasts the best record for graduate employment among the UK's universities – with 2013 statistics showing that 97.7 percent of students graduating from RGU in 2011/12 had found employment or were undertaking further study (source: Higher Education Statistics Agency).
For students yet to get a degree who are looking to get into the oil and gas sector, RGU offers a four-year "mechanical and offshore engineering" Bachelor of Engineering degree (that can be upgraded to a Master of Engineering degree with additional study). RGU's "extremely popular" Master of Science degree in "petroleum production engineering" requires not only a good honors degree in engineering (or closely-related discipline) but at least two years' practical industrial experience. But unlike some of the master's courses to be found on the Continent, the 45-week program can be completed within a year. The university also offers master's degrees in "oil and gas engineering" and "energy management", the latter being specifically designed to meet the needs of upstream oil and gas managers and managers in the renewable energy industry.

South Sydney and Queensland star Greg Inglis has made a decision in regards to his playing career.
After 263 NRL games for both the Melbourne Storm and South Sydney Rabbitohs, champion centre Greg Inglis has called time on a spectacular career.
The 2007 Clive Churchill Medalist, who broke onto the scene as an 18-year-old for the Storm in 2005, was selected to wear the green and gold just three years later.
Speaking at a media conference at South Sydney's Redfern base, Inglis said "I just think it's time and I think it's the right decision for myself. I've come to terms with it".
The man they call G.I. was unstoppable in his prime, wearing the famous Queensland Maroon jersey 27 times, and amazingly lost just a single series from the 11 he played in.
Inglis joined South Sydney ahead of the 2011 season and was part of the 2014 side that broke a 43-year drought for the foundation club.
He told the media that he had no regrets and that he was thankful for the opportunity he got from both the Storm and Rabbitohs over his glittering career.
Inglis told his teammates he would be retiring immediately following his side's dramatic win over the Warriors on Saturday.
