Bell Media greenlights medical drama The Transplant for CTV
NBCUniversal has signed on to distribute the series outside of Canada.
Bell Media has greenlit a new medical procedural from Sphère Média Plus titled The Transplant.
NBCUniversal is already on board to distribute the series outside of Canada, building on a partnership the two companies built via dramas Motive and The Disappearance (pictured). The series, which will air on CTV, was announced today at the Canadian Media Producers Association (CMPA) Prime Time conference in Ottawa.
The one-hour drama tells the story of Syrian refugee Bash, a former doctor with an "elusive past" who relocates to Toronto to start a new life. He gets the unexpected chance to get back into the medical professional after a freak accident leads him to saving the life of the chief of Toronto's busiest trauma centre. The first cycle will be comprised of 13 episodes.
The Transplant is created by Joseph Kay (This Life, Bomb Girls), and produced by Jocelyn Deschenes, Bruno Dube, Virginia Rankin, Jeremy Spry, and Tara Woodbury of Sphère Média Plus.
According to Mike Cosentino, president, content and programming at Bell Media, CTV landed on The Transplant for both its fresh take on the medical drama, and its potential for success in the international market.
The Transplant is scheduled for production in summer 2019 and is slated for the 2019/20 broadcast season.

Listen honey, how many times have you heard women entrepreneurs bemoan the way online business is done and calling for a new 'collaborative' model? If you're like me, you hear a variation on this conversation nearly every day of the week; in Facebook groups, when you get together with your colleagues and even after hours at live events.
But so far, it's been all talk and wishful thinking. No one, to my knowledge, has come up with a viable model.
a 'project' of sorts that has grown and evolved into something beyond my wildest dreams and which has turned the way business is done completely upside down!
You know the drill: a business coach, usually one with a 'Big' personality, puts together a live training event. During the training, an offer is made to enroll in one of the coach's Mastermind groups or other programs.
But as increasing numbers of people experienced this model, I started hearing more and more people complaining that they just weren't satisfied…both from the coaches point of view as well as the participants!
or they felt like they were expected to become a 'clone' of the coach or were just starting to make progress at the end of the year and then had to pay again to re-up or all of the above!
My friends, if you have been longing for a business Mastermind like no other, a community of genuine, caring, loving business women who will welcome you into their lives and into their hearts, not just for the next year, but for a lifetime and you want..
just click here for more information and find out how to apply.

I'm not the only person who has useful information to share about business and finance. In fact, there are likely hundreds, if not thousands, of people who visit this website every month who have stories to share and can offer something to readers based on their own experiences, knowledge and expertise.
That is why I opened the BlitzPenny blog up to guest contributors early on in the website's life. Not only did this give the site the chance to develop faster than it may have if I had tried to go it alone, but each of my contributors receives plenty of value in return whenever they submit a guest post to my blog.
Want to know more? You can contact me using the contact form below to get started, but here's what you can get whenever you contribute to my blog if you are unsure.
BlitzPenny now reaches an audience of 14,000 unique visitors each and every month. That's 14,000 people who have arrived on the website because they want to find out more about business and finance, in addition to learning more about the products, services and people who can help them to take control of their financial futures.
You can prove yourself to be one of these people if you write for my website. Your posts will be delivered to a loyal readership who has a vested interest in learning about what to say. Each of the contributors to BlitzPenny has the opportunity to talk a little about who they are and what brought them to the site in a dedicated bio section at the bottom of their posts. This can be used to raise awareness for your own blog or website, in addition to offering more specific information about what you can do to help your readers.
BlitzPenny has essentially become a community for people who are interested in business and finance throughout the world, which means that many of our readers are involved in their local business communities and may offer our contributors opportunities that they may not have found anywhere else.
If you write and publish your post here you place yourself in a position to be noticed by people who may be able to help your own business develop. Many of our contributors have formed useful relationships and partnerships through their work on BlitzPenny because our audience is filled with people who are looking for others those who can help them with their goals. Through your contributions you can prove that you are one of these people.
You may have ambitions of starting your own blog in the future, or you may already have a website but you are struggling to attract and engage readers. Whatever the case, I can help you to become a better writer through the feedback I provide on every post that is submitted to the BlitzPenny blog.
I have a vested interest in ensuring that every scrap of information found here is useful and well-presented. However, I also know that a lot of people who have valuable knowledge to share also have little experience in creating web content. That's why I encourage everybody to share their ideas with me. Even if you have never written for an audience the size of ours before, I don't want anybody to be afraid of giving it a try. By working together I can show you what your posts need to keep people's eyes on them and you can take these lessons forward into your future writing endeavors.
One of the most important things for freelance writers is to have is a strong portfolio of work that they can show to potential clients. Here at BlitzPenny we offer you the opportunity to build that portfolio by writing about the things you know and presenting your work on a site that has the reputation and authority to make clients sit up and take notice.
All of your posts will be preserved on the BlitzPenny website for as long as the website is live. Each is also individually credited to the author, so you can quickly search for the posts you have contributed to show others.
There are more besides but those should give you a strong idea of the general niche that BlitzPenny appeals to.
Think you have what it takes to help the BlitzPenny audience? If so, please contact me using the forms on the website.

Just popping in here to share a few visuals to help with your 21 Day Fix & EXTREME diet plans.
The diet aspect of the Fix programs looked a little overwhelming at first. For those that don't know anything about it let me share a little bit of information. In the 21 Day Fix diet you have portion controlled containers. You are to measure out your food using the containers. Each person could be on a different calorie intake. This must be figured out first. I am on the calorie range for 1299-1499 calories. All of the visuals that you see below fit the breakdown for that range.
Each caloric range has a certain number of containers that you can eat daily. In my case I get 4 reds(protein), 3 green(vegetables), 2 purple(fruit), 2 yellow(carbs), 1 orange(seeds or dressings), and 1 blue(healthy fats). You are also allowed 4 teaspoons of your favorite "nut" butter, such as peanut or almond butter.
Seeing the little boxes spread out throughout the day made it SO much easier to understand and help plan out my days. I have made several different visuals. Mix and match to see which one fits your lifestyle best. Are you a carb in the morning person?? Or can you wait until lunch?? There is a visual to fit your needs. Try one out one week and another one out the next. The only meal that will NEVER change for me is DINNER!!!!!! We are a meat, vegetable and carb type of family when it comes to dinner time. It is the easiest and most family friendly, in my opinion. I am not cooking two meals at night. So if we do some sort of grilled or smoked meat for dinner, throw in one of our favorite vegetable, such as asparagus, and then a delicious side of wild rice we are set.
This is what works for me and for our family 99% of the time. Then all I have to do is measure and then eat. My husband can eat more if he wants, but the breakdown is there for success!!!
Enjoy these visuals and share them so your life is easier. If you have any questions please feel free to leave a comment!!! I will be working on other caloric ranges very soon!!!!!!
This is great! I have done something similar but like these better.
I love that chart of yours and the colors and all that :) Would you email me the file so I can change it to what I need daily? My email is cobradriver@gmail.com And Thank You so much!!


If you're a local in Austin, you know that SXSW is the best time of year to start complaining. Traffic is extra bad, you can't access anything down town, and you might accidentally kill someone riding a scooter. I mean really, who can practice yoga under such obscene circumstances? There's too many good bands, free drinks, AND there's no parking!
Am I right?! I really want to blame it on this festival but I can't. Guys, I've only done yoga four time this month and it's all my fault. Four times in three weeks is statistically lower than my average month of not intentionally trying to do yoga. What's up with that!?
In other news, I have meditated 10 times this month which is pretty good for me. Ok, now that SXSW is over, I'm going to stop making excuses and hit up some classes this week!

This doctoral dissertation addresses crisis management in project based organizations (PBOs) and mega projects. There has been much research on crisis in organizations but there has been little attention given to crisis management in temporary organization settings and when multiple stakeholders are involved. In other words, research on "how crisis management is adopted by project based organizations and mega projects" are scarce. This study addresses this gap. This study's objective is to identify crises that are caused by the internal and external environment of project based organizations and mega projects and then manage these crises with organizational capabilities and sense making process. The dissertation consists of a compilation of three papers. This research proposes three studies on different yet interrelated crisis management topics. They are categorized into three research areas: taxonomy among risk, crisis and disaster, crises and capabilities in project based organizations and sense making process of crisis in mega projects. Taxonomy among risk, crisis and disaster is addressed by Chapter 2, which identifies the dimensions from literature and develops taxonomy; it is a first step toward management. The second research area (i.e., crisis and capability in PBOs) has led to the development of Chapter 3 which respectively identities crisis that could impact PBO's performance and investigates PBOs capabilities required for management of crises. It derived a conceptual framework of crises and capabilities that contains internal social, external social, internal technical and external technical crises (independent variables), performance i.e. project performance and stakeholder performance (dependent variables) and project based organizations' capabilities such as strategic, functional and project capabilities (moderating variable). Sense making process is examined in Chapter 4, and it explores and develops a sense making process in mega projects where multiple organizational stakeholders are involved. Sense making/ giving model contains element of information gathering (internal and external sources), crisis interpretation (exogenous/ endogenous, social and technical crisis), report/record (ask for compensation, report crisis to stakeholders or escalate to higher level within organization) and response (reactive and direct/ indirect response). The research reported in the dissertation is based on a multi- method approach of both quantitative i.e. survey of project based organizations and qualitative methods i.e. single-case study of mega project. The survey was conducted in IT, Telecom and construction companies in Pakistan. The case study has been conducted on new International airport in Islamabad, Pakistan. To conclude, the dissertation (a) identifies differences and similarities between risk, crisis and disaster, (b) develops taxonomy among risk, crisis and disaster by identifying dimensions (c) identifies crises that could impact project based organizations' performance. For which both short term (project performance) and long term performance (stakeholder performance) are considered, (d) explore capabilities perspective on project-based organizations (strategic, functional, and project capabilities) and develops a conceptual framework that embraces the organizational capability to manage the relation between crises and organizational performance, (e) develops a sense making/ giving model for crises in mega projects when multiple organizational' stakeholders are involved, (f) identifies different sense making and sense giving elements and (g) develop a grounded theory model that contain sense making/ giving elements.

The most devastating impact colonialism had on 19th and early 20th century China was on the Qing state. During the colonial era, the Qing state became politically, administratively and financially too weak to function as an effective government to lead the country towards a positive direction.
The Uyghurs are recognized as native to the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region in Northwest China. They are considered to be one of China's 55 officially recognized ethnic minorities. The Uyghurs are recognized by the Chinese government only as a regional minority within a multicultural nation.
Uyghurs. Unlike Hui and Xibo, they don't speak Chinese as their native language. Most Uyghurs in Urumqi speak conversational Chinese, and some speak it extremely well. On the other hand, in Kashgar, a town with Uyghur majority, it's quite easy to find people who can't speak Chinese or can speak very little.
Official Chinese view asserts the Uyghurs to be of Tiele origin and only became the main social and political force in Xinjiang during the ninth century when they migrated to Xinjiang from Mongolia after the collapse of the Uyghur Khaganate, replacing the Han Chinese that they claimed were there since the Han dynasty.
In recent years, the number of Chinese Christians has increased significantly; Christians were 4 million before 1949 (3 million Catholics and 1 million Protestants), and are reaching 67 million today, Christianity is reportedly the fastest growing religion in China with average annual rate of 7%.
They first rose to prominence in the 8th century, when they established a kingdom along the Orhon River in what is now north-central Mongolia. In 840 this state was overrun by the Kyrgyz, however, and the Uighurs migrated southwestward to the area around the Tien (Tian) Shan ("Celestial Mountains").
The Uighurs, Turkic nomads living north of the Gobi Desert, ruled over a powerful empire between 744 and 840. Its capital was Karabalghasun on the upper Orhon River in Mongolia. Although of nomadic origin, the Uighurs presided over flourishing commercial centers and agriculture.
Qing dynasty Between 1755 and 1760 the Qing Qianlong Emperor finally conquered the Dzungarian plateau and the Tarim Basin, bringing the two separate regions, respectively north and south of the Tianshan mountains, under his rule as Xinjiang.
Uyghur is a Turkic language spoken in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, administered by China, by the Uyghur people. It is a language with two standard languages and several dialects. However, these are all mutually intelligible at large, in spite of the various differences.
Most Uyghurs are Sunni Muslims. The Uyghurs are a majority in western XUAR and in the Turpan prefecture, while Han Chinese are the majority in most major cities and in the east and north. There are also Uyghurs found in Hunan province in south-central China.
As they are both Turkic languages, Turkish and Uyghur share a high degree of mutual intelligibility. "Uyghurs can understand 60 percent of Turkish, and after three months [of living in Turkey] they can easily understand 90 percent of the language," Suleyman said.
three million Uyghurs

The Xinjiang internment camps, officially called Vocational Education and Training Centers by the Government of China, are internment camps operated by the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region government and its Chinese Communist Party (CCP) provincial committee.

Unlike the Bible, one Quranic verse implies that Noah's people rejected not only Noah but multiple prophets who warned them. The Bible and the Quran also diverge on the fate of Noah's family. In the Bible, all of Noah's immediate family is saved, including his three sons.
Muslims believe that God is the only true reality and sole source of all creation. Everything including its creatures are just a derivative reality created out of love and mercy by God's command, "..."Be," and it is." and that the purpose of existence is to worship or to know God.
Heaven is described in the Qur'an as a beautiful garden. Jannah is Paradise, where those who have been good go. It is described in the Qur'an as "gardens of pleasure" (Qur'an 31:8). Muslims believe they get to Paradise by living religiously, asking Allah for forgiveness and showing good actions in their life.
Followers of Islam are called Muslims. Muslims are monotheistic and worship one, all-knowing God, who in Arabic is known as Allah. Followers of Islam aim to live a life of complete submission to Allah. They believe that nothing can happen without Allah's permission, but humans have free will.

Where did Noah keep all the fish? In a multi-storey carp ark! Yes, if you like silly puns, laugh at jokes about current and past popular TV shows, and appreciate rather cleverly placed song lyrics and film quotes (mostly for the grown-ups!), then this is certainly the pantomime for you! The script literally sizzles with such things, it's a wonder they actually managed to tell the story and deliver the plot lines! What is in short supply though in this panto, is a couple of the more traditional and familiar routines that belong to this genre. For example, there was no 'behind you' set and no other set routines associated with panto, except for some really rather weak attempts at the 'yes it is, no it isn't' set, the audience shouting Hiya Martha to the Dame (normally done with Silly Billy) , the song sheet, and a couple of rather poor attempts at involving the audience. So this pantomime became in effect, much more of a play with outrageous humour and larger than life characters, but in actual fact, did that really matter? The most important thing with a pantomime of any description is to make sure the young audience follow the story, laugh a lot, and feel as though they have been included in the experience. In this respect, I think you ticked all the boxes, even though I still feel certain you could have and should have included the audience much lore than you did.
The show started this afternoon with the opening song and dance routine which sadly fell a little flat; not due to the cast - not their fault at all, but I don't think their mics had been turned on, since they were inaudible above the band, and either due to choreographer or director, the whole opening sequence simply lacked pace and energy. The mics continued to be problematic throughout the first half of Act 1, but were finally sorted, only for poor Grabbit to suffer a mic malfunction during his double act routine in Act 2, but to the actor's eternal credit, he didn't flinch, and upped his voice accordingly.
As for the band, then I really am at a loss to understand why the sound they created was so sparse and open when there were two keyboards there, surely they could have provided a more orchestral and fuller sound to the show. What they did play sounded really rather tinny and kept fluctuating in volume. This I THINK was due to the keyboardist playing with the touch-sensitive switch on, meaning that you need to apply exactly the same amount of pressure to each note to make each note sound the same, which when playing a piano is pretty much impossible and so when she applied a lot of force to the keys it was loud, and when she didn't it was muted and very quiet.
Some of the dance routines were performed to pre-recorded music, and these worked really quite well.
So as I have already mentioned the show started at quite a slow pace, and sadly this pace seemed to continue for majority of the first act. It was quite a long first act two, running at 1 hour 16 minutes by my calculations! Also, every time the tab came in for a scene in front whilst they changed the set or cast behind, they made quite a bit of noise.
There were however some really lovely characterisations amongst the cast. Sadly the director didn't allow them to really blossom or develop, and so in no way does this reflect the actors themselves or their talent. I loved Joel Madden's Silly Simon, despite him not really being given the traditional rights of this character. In fact, there was absolutely no point at all in his being there, since he added nothing to the show or plot development. Like I said, not his fault at all - that's down to the script and director. Fairy Liquid (complete with green and white bubbles costume) played by Jenny Hollinshead was just wonderful but again totally underdeveloped and had no real role here. Absolutely loved her interpretation of the fairy though, and the Elfie Stick was pure genius!! Robin Hood (Jill Mallen) and Maid Marion (Chloe Arrowsmith) were good but their roles completely underdeveloped. In fact, the only reason for Maid Marion to appear at all was so she could sing not one, but two love duets with Robin! I also liked Friar Tuck played by Joe Cramsie. A cameo and rather insignificant role, but he certainly made the best of it and I liked his rather nonchalant dithering between his role as God's ambassador and human being with mortal feelings and desires.
The well-matched bumbling evil-doers with a good heart, Snatch and Grabbit (Anna Sillitoe and Ian Moore respectively) worked very well together; and despite some of the things they were given to do by director Derek Stuart Cole looking very awkward and 'stagey', they were very entertaining and their gradual change from evil to good was very well measured. They also had the best line in the whole panto. I just wonder how many people in the audience understood it, with it being an old theatre tradition that baddies enter and exit stage left and the good characters stage right!
The show was stolen, or at least could have been, and maybe should have been, by Richard Ross as Alan-A-Dale. His absolutely brilliant Mickey-take of Rik Mayall's Flashheart in Blackadder was a joy, for those old enough to remember that is! And the youngsters just found his sexy hip swings and corny lines about needing women funny. Totally inoffensive with the majority going over the little ones' heads; perfect. Again though, I am finding it very difficult to understand the need for his character in this version of the story. Or maybe it was simply to fall in love with the most insignificant and pointless of characters in the script, The Dame's daughter, Linda Trott, (Sarah Reilly), whose only purpose was to be there to fall in love with Alan.
Basically the script [playwright uncredited] had too many characters with absolutely no purpose for them in terms of plot development.
A special mention needs to be given though to the two youngsters of the title, the 'babes in the wood'. They are played on a rotation basis by either Josh Moreton and Anna Wiggan or Niamh Mallen and Izzy Stuart-Cole. Sadly I don't know which pairing I saw this afternoon, but whichever they were then hearty congratulations to you both. Acting, singing and dancing you way through the show as you did, with clear and loud voices and great stage presence. Excellent work!
The show is completed by three sets of chorus / dancers, {each needing their own choreographer by all accounts!}, the best and most meaningful dance being the young dancers at the beginning of the second act when they appear as winged aphids and cover the babes in leaves, very balletic in construction and nicely executed. A good set and some lovely costumes. If only ALL the cast could have changed for the finale and not just some. The red / purple theme worked well for those that did change!
Finally, I need to ask a question. Is inviting ALL the children in the audience on to the stage for the song sheet a local tradition? I have only ever seen this happen once before, and that was in Altrincham. I think over the years I must have seen over 100 pantos and have acted in several too, but have never encountered this until just recently when two adjoining societies (geographically speaking) do it. Interesting!
Babes In The Wood is being presented by Sale NOMADS at The Waterside Arts Centre in Sale until the 17th January, and with lots of local references and totally family friendly it is a very good choice for those who have not yet quite had enough seasonal cheer!

The Bellevue Chick-fil-A, which opened Thursday, was filled with campers Wednesday afternoon. They were there for a promotion in which 100 customers will receive a free meal per week for a year.
Chick-fil-A's 116th Avenue Northeast parking lot felt like a carnival Wednesday evening. Roughly 14 hours before the store would open its doors Thursday morning, making it the state's lone Chick-fil-A franchise, about 150 folks had already set up tents and were playing games of beanbag toss, throwing a football, and enjoying a day of free chicken sandwiches. The queue of people, and their queued-up anticipation, resembled patrons awaiting an Apple store's opening for the latest iPhone release.
The jubilant response the fast-food chain received in Bellevue is a reminder that Chick-fil-A's anti-gay sociopolitical associations of three years ago are a distant memory to consumers, even in the liberal Puget Sound area. The party outside Chick-fil-A also sends a helpful message to Starbucks, which recently suffered through CEO Howard Schultz's own roundly criticized foray into societal discussion: Good chicken (or good coffee) trumps cloudy politics.
Cathy's comments resulted in a wave of protests and counter protests, which culminated in a GLAAD-endorsed nationwide display of public affection by gay people in Chick-fil-A parking lots, and there was a movement among gay marriage supporters to boycott Chick-fil-A restaurants. Furthermore, people learned the Cathy family's WinShape Foundation had been donating to political groups denouncing gay marriage.
Three years later, the Cathys are out of the spotlight, and Chick-fil-A parking lots are filled with customers, not protesters. So while Schultz licks his wounds after a failed attempt at sparking conversations about race, he can rest assured that in the battle between product and politics, the chicken wins.
Chick-fil-A still has a value-laden message, though it's more choosy about which values it will touch. Valerie Artis, the Bellevue location's franchisee, said she decided to open a Chick-fil-A franchise because "the values that Chick-fil-A represents and what my parents taught me and what I try to instill in my kids still very much align." Artis discussed the company's reputation for community involvement and philanthropy, traits any franchisee would like to highlight.
But what about those other Chick-fil-A values? "The beauty about Chick-fil-A is that they really trust their owner-operators to become part of the community, and it's really the voice of the owner once they're in their area," Artis says. In other words, the Cathys have effectively quieted down and let their franchisees do the talking.
Don't be surprised to see Schultz take a similar approach. The best approach for a retail behemoth under the microscope might be to remain quiet, lie low, and let consumerism do the work for them.

Apple Mac Sales Go Up Despite Worldwide PC Shipments Slumped In Q4 2015
Salman SH
Remember the time when Steve Jobs first introduced the revolutionary multi-touch enabled iPhone during a MacWorld even in 2007? Well, here is the catch: worldwide sales of PCs have fallen drastically in Q4 2015 to the lowest point since 2007—the year iPhone was launched. Now, not only the iPhone, but also economic issues like falling commodity prices and weak international currencies, as well as disruptions in EMEA and APAC markets that in turn affected the foreign market were key factors contributing to a historical decline in 2015, says IDC. The research firm in a preliminary report, suggests that worldwide PC shipments summed up to 71.9 million units in the Q4 2015, along with a Year-on-Year decline of -10.6%. Their rival Gartner, however, suggests in a preliminary report that the worldwide PC shipments totaled 75.7 million units in the Q4 2015, along with an 8.3% decline from Q4 2014. The PC shipments figures in Q4 2015 differ slightly but both the research firms have zeroed-in on one fact – Worldwide PC market is witnessing a significant decline.
But, all such disappointing figures and trends also carry an interesting fact; Despite such market shift, there is a PC manufacturer that has been strengthening its presence in PC market. The only vendor that posted a consistent growth was—well you guessed it right-Apple! According to IDC, Apple registered a 2.8% Year-on-Year growth (4Q15/4Q14) in Mac PC shipment, along with a 1.1% point hike in its market share.
Even though most of the big vendors posted negative Y-o-Y growth in Q4 2015, Apple, ASUS and Lenovo performed fairly well. Compared to the overall PC shipments market that declined 10.6%, Lenovo managed to restrict the declining rate to just 4.5% but strengthened its market share to 21.4% from 20% in the year-ago quarter. ASUS posted a flat growth of 0.8%, outperforming the market to move into the 4th position. ASUS sold roughly 6 million units along with a 7.9% market share; this was the best quarter for the company since 2012 as they witnessed strong sales in the troubled APAC market. But it was Apple that surprised everyone. The Mac maker not only went against the tide but also closed the quarter with 7.9% market share, a 1.1% point increase in its market share in the year-ago quarter.
Statista's global PC sales graph (below) shows that the PC industry peaked at 365.4 million units in 2011—this was after the launch of iPad and Galaxy Tab in 2010. In fact, in 2010, the global PC industry posted a 14% growth in shipments. The industry then followed a declining trends after 2011; but in 2014, with the rise of several matured tablets, and tablet convertibles including the Surface Pro 3, and HP's first 64-bit Windows 8.1 convertible tablet, and several other 2-in-1 devices, the PC industry dipped only by -1%. Concurrently, Microsoft ended support for Windows XP in 2014, which also pushed the sales of their newer generation devices carrying Windows 8 and above.
Can Windows 10 Save The PC Industry?
Interestingly, the share of larger screen (>10″) tablets and 2-in-1's is expected to grow from 18.6% in 2014 to 39.5% in 2019—all the 2-in-1 and convertible tablet ranges fall in this category. Apparently, the future of PC industry could lie in the mercy of hybrid tablets as a report points out that the future of e-commerce lies with mobile—the tablet conversion rate has shown a consistent growth of 2.86% in Q2 2015 to 3.22% in Q2 2015. Similarly, when zooming into the global market share of HP which manufactures the whole lot of hybrid tablets (running windows 10), it is evident that the company has posted a consistent growth since Q2 2015. Devices running Windows 10 OS have also helped spike overall shipments for other similar vendors like Lenovo, Dell and ASUS.
Does this mean that Windows 10 could help solve the plummeting PC sales? Maybe!
Microsoft has seen the opening presented in front of them, and with the launch of Windows 10 and similar platforms, the digital industry is embracing a shift towards 'mobile ecosystems'. Microsoft has made the first major step to make this happen—they have officially ended support for 8, as well as support for older versions of its Internet explorer browser, IE 8, IE 9, and IE 10. Although Windows 7 still the widely used OS, with the rise of an ecosystem trend that aims to bring all your similar devices under one roof, the global PC market could sigh a relief next year. For example, Apple's iOS 9 update achieved a record adoption rate of 75%–this led to iOS9 being installed in 66% of all compatible devices; Windows 10 continuum update that allows the OS to work better with devices that support a mouse, keyboard and touch input, like Microsoft's Surface Tablet or Lenovo's Yoga laptops. The continuum feature even allows the latest Lumia 950 to be converted into a PC. Well, Microsoft has truly understood the importance of ecosystems here. But will Android follow?

Team Red Bull say the Formula 1 title fight is still wide open, even though their star driver Sebastian Vettel extended his lead to 36 points after the Canadian Grand Prix last weekend. The German driver beat Ferrari's Fernando Alonso into second and became the first F1 driver to win three races this season.
But team boss Christian Horner thinks nothing is secured as yet: "I don't think you can write anybody off at this point in the championship. Our focus is on trying to do the best we can. Then the championship tables tend to take care of themselves."
Alonso's second place moved him up into second position in the title standings off the lead ahead of Lotus's Kimi Raikkonen, who is now 44 points behind Vettel. Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton remains fourth, 55 points behind Vettel while Red Bull's Mark Webber is fifth, 63 points adrift.
Horner said: "Ultimately you can't write-off Kimi; he could quite easily put a run of race results together as could Lewis. And Mark could get himself back in the championship as well. While the points look healthy at the moment... you can't afford any complacency. The margins can rapidly be eroded."
Ferrari boss Stefano Domenicali says his team has to do better in qualifying. "Unfortunately, easy to say and difficult to do. That's the key point," he said. "We have seen the performance during the race is very good. Sebastian did an incredible race but when you have such a strong qualifying you can have this kind of situation. If you start behind you are not able to attack and second is the maximum we could have done."
Alonso says he will only consider the fight for the title over if he is at least 80 points behind Vettel. "That will be a very critical situation, which is more than three races," the Spaniard said. "In the last six or eight years, there were people recovering from more than 30 points on the old points system, which is three races, so it's 75 or 80 points. So hopefully we're not going to arrive to that number."

This is a type of equipment a large booth that it is fully enclosed space that will be utilized to ensure debris, dust and other particles that are unwanted are kept away. This is because they may cause flaws on the surface that you are painting and therefore interfere with the outcome of the job. For more info click here. The booths have different sizes but will have the same basic design features. They have a huge opening that will permit the transportation from and to the booth. The booth must be airtight to prevent the entry of contaminants and dust particles. There is also the compressor that will force the air to the outside. This will transform the booth to vacuum like feature which will make the painting easier. Several advantages are entitled to the use of spray booth. See the best information about this company.
They can be used in the painting of medium-small and even large vehicles which are a must. They are also applied to the furniture and ceramic including other large tools. The spray paint booth is a necessity in all those applications. It is very advantageous in comparison with the large open spaces painting. They can be well applied in the automotive painting in which rapid paint baking is a must. The spray paint booths are used to make sure that the paint is secured. They will, therefore, ensure that the paint lasts for a long time. This will reduce the cost of the frequent painting of the car. The spray paint booths will ensure that the paint is very much resistant to frequent wear and tear. Therefore sun and adverse weather do not affect the paint.one can decide to acquire commercial booths that will be used in the baking and curing process. This was going to give the client valuable resources such as money, time and effort. This is because the painting is done on a clean surface. Therefore, it will deliver the best quality painting services.One should also consider the safety precautions and maintenance tips for these booths.

Millard Fuller, co-founder of Habitat for Humanity International, died Feb. 3 at age 74 after a brief illness, The New York Times reported Feb. 3 (see habitat story). Fuller, who was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1996, spearheaded the business model of using donated money, labor and materials to build and sell houses without profit. The organization has built homes for more than a million low-income residents in over 100 countries.
Former U.S. Sen. Tom Daschle, who withdrew from consideration for secretary of health and human services, was paid $195,000 to give speeches to health-care groups, CQ Politics reported Feb. 2. The fees, which Daschle received while serving as a special-policy adviser with Alston & Bird, a law and lobbying firm, raised doubts as to whether the former Senate majority leader could be trusted to overhaul the industry. Daschle already faced scrutiny for failure to pay $128,000 in taxes, says an editorial in The New York Times Feb. 2.
Charitable gift annuities, which allow donors to make a tax-deductible gift to charity while securing a steady flow of payments for life, have proven to be a popular giving vehicle during the recession, The Wall Street Journal reported Feb. 3 (see annuity story). Though rates paid to beneficiaries are scheduled to drop this month by 0.4 percent to 0.7 percent, annuities still are seen as an attractive investment option for donors who want to transfer market risk to a charity and set up a reliable source of income during tough economic times.
The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts is offering free crisis-consulting services to arts organizations struggling to weather the economic storm, the Associated Press reported Feb. 3. The "Arts in Crisis" initiative, which may cost up to $500,000, will provide budgeting and fundraising guidance to arts groups as their box-office revenues, endowments and private donations melt away.
* The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is donating more than $50 million for polio-eradication efforts in Nigeria, The Voice of America reported Feb. 3. The foundation already has committed more than $700 million to the worldwide fight against the disease.
* Two foundations in the Seattle area that fund conservation efforts have lost sizeable chunks of their assets in Bernard Madoff's alleged investment scam, says Kristi Heim in a blog in The Seattle Times Feb. 2.
* The Indianapolis-based Lilly Endowment plans to give more than $11 million in grants to 16 religious groups in Indiana to help pastors address financial hardships, the Associated Press reported Feb. 3.
* Boosting solar energy in Texas could create up to 22,000 jobs, says a report by three nonprofits, The San Antonio Express-News reported Feb. 3.


A China-based supplier for both Samsung and Lenovo has denied hiring underage labourers after a New York-based human rights organisation accused them of employing children.
Samsung said its investigation into the Samsung production line at the Huizhou factory of its supplier HEG Technology found no children or students were being employed.
A spokesman for Lenovo confirmed that the company would investigate the report.
China Labor Watch had reported that it found more than 10 children working at the HEG factory in an investigation over July and August. In addition, the NGO said its probe revealed more than 100 student workers who were not paid for overtime work or a night shift subsidy.
The human rights watchdog said it had shared the evidence of its investigation with Samsung in August and the company had insisted that the supplier pay some students working at the factory.
Reuters news agency reported that an employee at HEG Technology said the company had never hired children and that its facial recognition technology helped to ensure that its staff were not minors.
It said the minimum age of staff working on Samsung products was 18, while the youngest workers employed on the Lenovo production line were 16.
Samsung said in a statement that it had proposed a joint investigation with China Labor Watch to obtain "more precise verification" of the watchdog's allegations, adding that it had handed over the results of its investigation to the organisation.
"We find it regrettable that CLW issued the allegations today without any mention of our statement," Samsung said in a statement.
China Labor Watch had previously accused Samsung's suppliers in China of using child workers, leading the company to temporarily stop working with the supplier.


Next door to Sapa Lake View Hotel stands small and budget Viet Thanh Guesthouse.
Rooms here are not of the quality of their neighbour but those at the front still get the lake view – from a balcony – and they're cheaper. Beds have soft foam mattresses and are simply made up with white sheets and flowery duvets. There's not much in the way of furnishings, although rooms do have a TV. Bathrooms are a bit grubby but the same standard you'll find elsewhere for the price. Rooms at the back are cheaper but have no view.

US City Installs Crypto ATM at Airport After Accepting Cryptocurrency for Payments
The U.S. city of Williston in North Dakota is installing a cryptocurrency ATM at its international airport. "This marks the first government-hosted cryptocurrency kiosk," the city said. Williston also accepts cryptocurrencies for payments of utility bills.
'The First Government-Hosted Cryptocurrency Kiosk'
The city of Williston in the U.S. state of North Dakota announced Wednesday a partnership with crypto ATM operator Coin Cloud to install a cryptocurrency ATM at its Williston Basin International Airport (XWA). The city wrote:
This marks the first government-hosted cryptocurrency kiosk and the first Coin Cloud installation in an airport.
"This is an ambitious step in introducing and engaging the public towards cryptocurrency while proactively playing a role in building the digital ecosystem," commented the city's finance director, Hercules Cummings. "Although we are a smaller rural community, we are making an impact. Taking this small step may pave the way for other government and commercial entities to follow suit."
Coin Cloud's crypto ATMs, known as Digital Currency Machines (DCMs), allow users to buy and sell over 40 cryptocurrencies, including bitcoin, bitcoin cash, dogecoin, shiba inu, cardano, and ether. Users can also withdraw cash from their digital wallets. The city clarified that it does not act as the fund custodian or manage any crypto transactions, emphasizing that purchases and withdrawals are handled by Coin Cloud.
Cummings opined: "Traditionally when you purchase crypto on an exchange, the transaction is directly tied to your bank via a checking account, debit card, or tied to your credit card … Converting cash to crypto through the DCM means there are no recognizable charges, bank account, or credit card. The deposit and withdrawal process happens between the DCM and your digital wallet, simply using cash."
The city's finance director further explained that Williston partnered with Bitpay in May "to accept digital currency for city utility bills."
He noted: "Now with a municipal-hosted DCM, we are creating a successful road map for the public to embrace cryptocurrency." Referring to allowing residents to pay with cryptocurrencies, Cummings said:
We are the first municipality in the State of North Dakota, and the third in the nation, to offer this service.
The city clarified that only utility bills are currently eligible to be paid with cryptocurrency, noting that "Quality assessments will be conducted, and volumes evaluated, before migrating other bills such as landfill, permits, and licenses."

The aim of this study was to verify the effects of glycemic index (GI) on body composition, and on inflammatory and metabolic markers concentrations in patients with type 2 diabetes. In this randomized controlled parallel trial, twenty subjects (aged 42.4 ± 5.1 years, BMI 29.2 ± 4.8 kg.m -2 ) were allocated to low GI (LGI) (n = 10) or high GI (HGI) (n = 10) groups. Body composition, inflammatory and metabolic markers were assessed at baseline and after 30 days of intervention. Food intake was monitored during the study using three-day food records completed on two non-consecutive weekdays and on a weekend day. Body fat reduced after the LGI intervention compared with baseline (P = 0.043) and with the HGI group (P = 0.036). Serum fructosamine concentration (P = 0.031) and TNF-α mRNA expression (P = 0.05) increased in the HGI group. Serum non-esterified fatty acids were greater in the HGI than in the LGI group (P = 0.032). IL-6 mRNA expression tended to decrease after the consumption of the LGI diet compared to baseline (P = 0.06). The LGI diet reduced body fat and prevented the negative metabolic and inflammatory responses induced by the HGI diet.

Work for the Dole group-based activities will be refocused to primarily target places to the most disadvantaged people, that is, those who face a range of vocational and non-vocational barriers.
From 1 July 2018 the Government will introduce a new targeted compliance framework that strengthens penalties for persistent and deliberate non-compliance while providing additional help for genuine job seekers to meet their requirements.
All job seekers will commence in a Personal Responsibility Phase (demerits phase), where failures to comply with requirements will result in payment suspension and demerit, but no actual penalty.
To ensure that those who are genuinely looking for work and simply having difficulty meeting their requirements do not enter the three strikes phase, their provider will assess their capability and requirements after their third demerit, and the Department of Human Services will also do so after their fourth.
A new 'Work First' approach in the income support claim process will encourage recipients to make faster connections with employment service providers, improving their chances of finding work quickly.
Under the current arrangements, income support payments are backdated to the date the payment recipient first contacted the Department of Human Services.
From 1 January 2018, income support payments will start from the date a recipient attends their first appointment with their employment service (jobactive or Transition to Work) provider. This will encourage people who are looking for work to engage as quickly as possible with the services that will help them to find a job.
The Budget also includes support for job seekers to overcome any drug or alcohol dependency, to improve their chances of finding and maintaining a job and reduce the risk of ongoing welfare dependency.
There will be changes to the 'reasonable excuse' provisions in the compliance framework, to address a loophole allowing drug or alcohol users to repeatedly avoid their requirements while making no effort to address their dependency. From 1 January 2018, job seekers will no longer be able to repeatedly use drug or alcohol dependency as a reasonable excuse, unless they agree to seek treatment, where available and appropriate.
A further change to the job seeker requirements will be the inclusion of drug or alcohol addiction treatments as an approved activity that will count towards Annual Activity Requirements for all job seekers under jobactive (Streams A, B and C). Currently, this option only applies to those who face the most significant barriers to finding employment (Stream C job seekers).
This proposal will extend support to those who are considered most job ready (Streams A and B) with drug or alcohol addictions, to address these barriers to employment and prevent further disadvantage.
As part of the Working Age Payment reform measure, a new system of participation and mutual obligation rules will encourage more people to actively look for work and join in activities that will boost their chances of getting a job.
Participation requirements for job seekers aged 30 to 49, and job seekers aged 55 to the Age Pension age will be strengthened, along with increased support to help them into employment.
This will increase the time people spend in activities that lead to work, better connect them with the labour market and align requirements with community expectations.
A new Career Transition Assistance program aims to help mature age job seekers become more competitive in their local labour market, through a six to eight-week program. The program will consist of skills assessments, exploration of suitable occupations, research of the local labour markets, tailoring job applications and résumés, developing a Career Pathway Plan and learning resilience strategies. It will also incorporate core digital literacy development where appropriate. This program will commence in five trial regions, before being rolled out nationally in July 2020.
The expansion of the National Work Experience Programme (NWEP) to provide more work experience opportunities for mature age people looking for work. The number of NWEP places will increase by 4,000 per year. Payments will be made available for providers and host businesses ($300 incentive payment for host businesses and $400 outcome fee per completed placement for jobactive and Transition to Work providers).
A series of Pathway to Work pilots will be established in selected growth industries and/or large infrastructure projects. Up to ten pilots will be developed with two main aims: to create additional pathways for those on income support to gain employment, and to help combat negative perceptions among employers of certain unemployed people and encourage them to have a diverse workforce, particularly mature age and people with disability.
Helping vulnerable young people into the workforce remains a primary focus under the Youth Employment Package, announced in the 2016-17 Budget. Central to this is the Youth Jobs PaTH program, which fully commenced in April this year to help prepare young people for a job and encourage businesses to trial and hire a job ready young person.
The Government's jobactive employment services introduced in July 2015 will also continue to help employers find staff to meet their business needs and move more job seekers into jobs.
